Today this little angel turned two months old and I can't believe how fast he is growing. No.....he is not mine I just have the honor of watching him while his loving parents are working and well I just can't resist to take pictures of him and if you think this are cute you should see his sweet little face :) but I can't share those without approval.
I just wish I could make my own be this little again. :( I don't have pictures like this of my little ones.

I know I'm blessed beyond believe! As time goes on, more than likely you will meet everyone that I hold close to my heart. Family is very important to me and I'm not saying only the that God gave me but also the one that as I get older I choose for myself. Growing up I can say I was a very happy child didn't have everything I wanted but I did get everything I needed. I appreciate everything so much more because of that. When I married my husband I became part of this other AMAZING family. We truly love each other and although for some might be unbelievable we enjoy spending time together which we try to do as often as possible. On Sunday we got and unexpected call and invitation to come over and visit with my brother-in-law and his wife. They are actually the ones we see the most because we lived closer but every moment we spend together is cherish by all of us. I have become very close to my sister-in-law, I can almost say we are sisters and the best thing is that I believe that the feeling is mutual. I have so many special memories with this beautiful person. She took me to get my first EVER pedicure almost two years ago and on Sunday my first EVER massage and I LOVED IT. She knows I love photography and just like in everything else she is very supportive so this Sunday she surprised me with the following prop. I love it......now she just needs to get me a baby to put in it :) I love you Jamie and I know I probably have told you before but there is no words to describe all that I feel for you. I feel sooo blessed to have you in my life.
To most people this is just a basket but not to me :) Life it's all about the little things that sometimes could go unnoticed.

Well as I type this I see that it's already midnight and just like that Saturday is gone. It was a wonderful day spent with that ones I love the most. It was literally what the doctor ordered....since the little ones have been feeling under the weather.
This is how I ended my Saturday and began my Sunday......
I LOVE music, all types of music. When I was younger or better yet before I became a mom I used to always listen to music as loud as I wanted, whenever I wanted but specially loved it as I cleaned because it made it a lot more enjoyable not that I don't enjoy cleaning because I do. Music just makes me feel happy. Now whenever I turn the music on all I can hear are request from my little ones to hear this or that song which leaves me hearing what they want and although I enjoy seeing them dance around I end up not getting much of anything done. Tonight or better yet Saturday night after putting the kids to bed and putting some laundry to wash I grabbed my laptop and headphones; pulled a chair next to the sink and started to wash dishes....we do have a dishwasher and it does work but some times I actually enjoy doing them by hand. Anyway I normally use my phone and earphones because it allows me to move and listen as loud as I want specially at night but this time my phone was dyeing and couldn't find my earphones and that wasn't going to stop me from listening to my music while I cleaned. The funny thing is that more often than not I end up singing at the top of my lungs specially if a song I really enjoy comes up; and well this time wasn't the exception I caught my husband just watching me as I danced and singed as you can only do when you think no one is watching. Ahhh the simple things in life. My music taste has evolved as I get older, I now appreciate songs or genres that I might of overlooked when I was younger and I love that. It's so magical how music can take you to a special moment in your life. Oh my is already 12:47am and I must hit the sheets or I will pay the price tomorrow :)

Today was a crafty kind of day.
It started by me building a ramp so that my youngest could play with his Shake & Go cars (I think that's what they are call) I love to see them play with things like that.
My oldest had a little friend over; they were playing in the other room building things with Legos-Trios and building forts. It's amazing when they get into playing nicely together how it could seem like you have no kids at all. At least for a little while it just seems like that until one of them decides that there is an essential piece to their project and just so happens to be the same. All part of growing I suppose. Once they got tired of playing they started to feel hungry and you know that because the crabbiness begins!!
All of the sudden they want food and they wanted NOW and the oldest decides that he is going to take off his clothes and run around in his underpants. Which was extremely rare for him got him dress in his new favorite shirt and we all sat down to eat.
After lunch Grandma Donut came over and we did a small valentines craft. I love to see them enjoying these kind of things. Then it was time to go to preschool.
I decided to do a craft of my own. I had the idea of using some Christmas bulbs that we didn't use any more and do a heart to hang somewhere in the house for Valentines. It actually look really pretty but it broke as I was trying to hang it. :( I felt a little upset because of the time wasted but my husband who just so happen to get home at that time ask me "Did you enjoy making it?' Of course I did so he said to me that's all that matters. Art is all about trial and error and I know that but sometimes I forget. He always has just the right words to encourage me. I know I'm blessed beyond believe.

January 19, 2011 (second post)
Last night I sat in front of the computer wondering should I post this picture or that picture?
1.- I take too many pictures (thank goodness for digital) but it makes it hard to choose just one image.
2.- I find myself worrying about people being able to copy and paste or save my pictures. I wish we didn't have to worry about that.
For today there will be two posts because I don't want to fall behind.

The Periodic Painting Table: December 2016
Recon has always been one of my favourite shows. I remember on of the very early ones in a church hall in Headingley with about five stalls. It's grown quite a bit since then.
I met good friend 'Merlin' there and we had a good look around.
There were some impressive demonstration and participation games going on.
This WWII game featured the Home Guard of Walmington-on-Sea. The REdcar Ironbeards were responsible.
I've always admired these guys (Sheffield and Rotherham Wargames Society, I think).
Their teddy bear western games look great fun, if nothing else the minis and the terrain are excellent.
Dragon Rampant by the East Leeds Militaria. I play this in 15mm, their 28mm game looked splendid.
Witch racing anyone? I would have happily tried this, but I think I got there at lunch time.
Purchase-wise it was a slow day for me; just a couple of packs of Reaper Bones, a pot of paint and some clear bases from Sally 4th. Usefully, the proprietor of Sally 4th is experimenting with ways of multi basing for clear bases; very useful for Warpath.
We also several boxes of the new Dr Who miniatures game from Warlord. There were Judoon, Xygons and a box containing the 10th Doctor with four companions (seriously, Wilf?). Nice, if a bit spindly to my eyes. No rules though, so I'll wait.
I think there might have been another box of aliens, but I can't remember what. Also I seem to have lots of tick marks drawn on my arms.

Mantic Open Day part three
A final look at the odd bits and pieces.
One of the highlights for me was the tour of the workshop.
In previous years Mantic have provided a 'show special' miniature as part of the admission price.
This year they ran tours of the workshop, demonstrating how the models are developed from artist's drafts to molds to minis. We then chose one of several minis to take, and watched the process of casting.
No sign of any chocolate rivers though
We also saw some painted masters of the main Star Saga minis. I am looking forward to this, not least because many of the minis will do very nicely for Deadzone.
If you liked this, check out T'Other One's blog as he has more pictures, especially of anything zombie related.

Mantic Open Day take two
As the game is soon to be released, The Walking Dead was noticeable by its presence.
There were some nice painted versions of the wave two minis.
I particularly like the new Rick figure to the left near the back (Spoilers!)
There were participation games running all day as well;
The bit I enjoyed the most was the table with undercoated Walkers and appropriate Army painter paints.
Both T'Other One and I had a go and managed a good tabletop standard in under 15 minutes.
A blurred T'Other One inspects his Walker
Out efforts near the centre of the picture with the gray bases.
But the really impressive painting was on the big display boards;
There are lots of little story vignettes if you look closely, such as Rick and Glen with the bag of guns.

Last Saturday was the Mantic Open Day. I managed to get there with good friend T'Other One, and we had a great time.
As there was quite a lot going on, I'll cover different topics in different posts.
Firstly there was Kings of War. You couldn't miss the huge display game put on by COGS.
A lot of very nicely painted and models troops and terrain, the windmill sails even turned, and apparently there was a light inside the church (though it was too bright to see).
I don't know how it turned out, but everyone seemed to be having a good time, and it demonstrated one of the strengths of Kings of War; being able to play massive games.
There was also a participation game involving flying creatures.
I've certainly never seen this done before. It looks great fun. Sadly I never got the chance to join in.
Also for KoW, one of the rules committee was running a tactics seminar.
Finally, I managed to bag a troop of Orc Gore Riders in a bargain bag; excellent value.

Disaster Cat: June 2011
Vintage Bunnies?
Real Bunny?
Labels: Which Is Cuter?
I had a wonderful day an an estate sale this Saturday. I saw pictures and it looked like it would be right up my alley with tons of vintage, and sure enough it was! To make things even better I got there on the second day so everything was half off - and it had already been priced pretty fairly to begin with. I wish I remembered the name of the company because the sale was not only reasonably priced but also very organized. I would love to attend one of their sales again.
I found so many lovely things, many of which have yet to be photographed. But how about these adorable dream pets!
I had actually never seen these before, and now I will definitely be on the lookout for them in the future - they are so whimsical and fun! I can't pick a favorite.
I also got three sets of alphabet letterpress type stamps. I think these will do very well in my Etsy shop.
When I got them the letters were all out of order - it took forever to straighten them all out so they could look presentable.
I think I would have liked the lady who lived in this house very much - she had pretty rad poodle wallpaper by her vanity:
And she lived in a quaint house in a beautiful neighborhood:
The dream pets must have been very happy there!

Oh long neglected blog...I have returned. With furniture.
Moving has been CRAZY, and it has been difficult keeping up with the cleaning, unpacking, and working while still keeping my Etsy shop open. But things have slowed down with work (babysitting) so I have a little time to share what I have been up to these past few busy weeks.
I have been craigslist shopping like mad. I really wanted a fresh start upon moving into this new place, so I got rid of a few things that were pretty beat up or I just plain hated and am replacing them with a few new (to me) and only slightly worn things. A few notable pieces in addition to the mod buffet I scored and wrote about in my previous post...
Wicker Chair and Table: $30 for the set.
COMFY little papazan and footstool: $40 for the set (plus a little extra for delivery - hey it was convenient - making the total $55)
I am still looking to find a small sewing table and a bookshelf - which hopefully we can treat ourselves to sometime soon - I'd like to be able to put the rest of my boxes away!

July | 2011 | Judi Ann's Nook
Proverbs 22:6 says this: “Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.” (NIV)
Now, for some reason, many folks believe this verse means that if a child is taken to church from birth on, that they will grow up to be Christians. Wrong! I know many well-intending parents who faithfully drag their children to church from the day they are born, only to have those same children grow up wanting nothing whatever to do with the church or with God either for that matter. But…did that family pray together at home? Did the father teach his children daily the truths of scripture and how to apply them to their lives? Did he take to heart the commands in Deut. 5 and 6 about teaching his own children day and night, wherever they are and whatever they are doing? Usually in these cases the life lived out in the home is far from the teachings of scripture. Is it any wonder at all that the children grow up to have no use for the church or the Church? (Those are two totally different entities.) In some cases the parents are so busy being involved in the church or even in missions that they do not fulfill their requirements as godly parents at all.
However, the truth of the Proverb with which I began this narrative is this: Whatever we teach our children (by our very life) about priorities and God and life in general is exactly what they will follow for their lifetime.
Unfortunately, much of today’s society wants us to believe that to be good parents we must dote on our children and our lives should be totally focused on them. I am firmly disagreeing with this philosophy. I believe with my whole heart that we are raising a generation of warped children that have the misconception that the world around them is there to serve them—because that’s what their parents did for all their lives. Their lives are all about THEM–not how they can serve others, what they can contribute to society, or where they fit into God’s plan for the world. It’s all about having a good time, making memories that they can cherish, and getting their own way. Maybe even about being someone ‘important’. Where is that in scripture?
Sadly, even churches often support this way of thinking and behaving. Big bucks are spent on having youth activities to keep the kids entertained and off the streets. But how much does that same church spend on teaching those children the importance of living sacrificially and serving others? Our churches today spend a large portion of the church budget not only on entertaining the youth, but on a pastor that is paid full time to do just that! A youth pastor! WHERE are the parents?
I know I’m really stepping on some toes here, but I beg you to give this some serious thought and prayer. Do you have children at home? TEACH THEM! SHOW them! Let them see Christ in you and a willing heart to serve others—others that are not your children! Get your children involved in ministry opportunities within your neighborhood and community. Are there elderly in your neighborhood to whom your children can minister? (Mowing lawns? Shoveling snow? Running errands? Simply visiting with them? For free—not a paid job.) Are there hurting families that you know that perhaps your family as a whole could minister to? Does your family have worship together AT HOME on a daily basis? Do you dig in and find answers for them in scripture? Are they learning from you to pray? To find answers in God’s Word? To apply the teachings of Scripture to their lives?
Let me challenge you, my friend, to take a serious look at your own household. Are you teaching your children and youth with your mouth as well as your example to serve the Lord your God with your whole heart? I want to challenge you with this thought: Of course there is nothing wrong with taking your children to church (in fact it is important), but it is NOT as important as teaching them yourself and setting the example of godliness before them.
If you still have children at home, it’s probably not too late my friend. It takes some time and decided effort. But God will bless you for it. Of that I am very, VERY certain!
Do you remember the old saying “An apple a day keeps the doctor away?” Well, it may be an old wives tale in some ways – there’s never a guarantee against illness. But there is much nutritional value in a simple little apple. I’ve been adhering to this for many years, and in many ways I do believe it has benefited me.
First of all, I always try to have an apple late in the afternoon when I’m starting to be a bit hungry and tempted to start pinching and snitching and tasting as I make dinner (which would be the equivalent of having a serving before dinner as an appetizer, then another when we sit down to eat).
Also, by late afternoon my legs and back are getting tired of the chores of the day and I treat myself to a break to eat my apple. Sometimes I check email or write a blog (as I’m doing now) or sit in the porch swing and enjoy some peace and quiet accompanied by whatever breeze I can create with the movement of the swing in the late afternoon. Many times dinner is cooking when I take my break; sometimes I have the apple before I begin the meal prep. At any rate, it’s good to take a little break and just enjoy the day along with the juicy apple.
Apples are filled with good vitamins and nutrients as well as fiber (especially if you eat the skin which I do). My favorites are fuji apples—firm and crisp; a little sweet and a little tart—enough tartness to make them juicy. YUM! There is no fat in an apple and yet it is sweet enough to fill that late afternoon sweet craving as well as taking the edge off of the late afternoon hungry feeling.
There’s a lot of good in the little red ball. Could my habit truly have anything to do with my rare doctor visits? Well, I for one, think it certainly doesn’t hurt! And besides, they are just plain yummy! God does give such good gifts!
“Katia” – by Bruce Judisch
If you enjoy fun fiction based on fact, “Katia” by Bruce Judisch is a must read for you! This is the fascinating story of a young would-be journalist doing a summer internship who discovers much more about herself than her writing ability. It is also a fun way to learn some of the history of Berlin without having to discipline yourself to read a history book. Because Mr. Judisch was actually there when the wall came down, you can experience a bit of the emotion and mystery of the two halves becoming one whole; of families being reunited; of finding lost loved ones from a realistic perspective through this story. And if you like realistic happy endings…well, get ready to smile!
“Journey to Judah” – by Eileen Hinkle Rife
This is a fun little story of a young missionary woman who fulfills a commitment to the Lord, and finds that, in so doing, the Lord supplies the longing of her heart. It is a fun read with a not-so-subtle message of God’s faithfulness. It is an introduction to the ‘Born for India’ trilogy; another quick read for the ‘happy ending’ lovers!
“Restored Hearts” – by Eileen Hinkle Rife
This is the second in the ‘Born for India’ trilogy and is a graceful way of dealing with a ‘touchy’ subject. This book is a fiction story that deals openly and honestly with the issue of homosexuality and the Christian (Biblical) perspective. It gives hope, but does not ‘beat around the bush’ with honest issues. Even though this is not a ‘fun’ issue, this is a good book for all Christians to read. I highly encourage all believers to read this book. We can’t live with our heads in the sand forever. Homosexuality is a reality and is more and more invading our lives. What should we think? How should we feel? What’s right? Where is God on this issue? What can we do? I strongly urge you to grab this book (whether or not you’re a fiction lover) and ask God to speak to your heart. Remember, God may hate the sin, but He loves the sinner.
Why am I always surprised when God drops yet another sweet little gift into my lap? It seems like in my lifetime, when I’ve needed it most and expected it least, my loving Father hands me a sweet surprise that completely takes my breath away and humbles me in yet another new and fresh way. And He’s done it again!
A while back I received an email from another OakTara author who said she’d discovered that we live in the same town—well, adjoining towns, but within minutes of one another all the same. She asked if I’d like to get together. Well, of course I was excited at first so accepted, and then followed my typical shyness. What will she think when she sees what a dunce I am? What does she expect of me? What if I can’t meet up to her expectations? And a million other self-doubts until I finally prayed that God would simply manage the whole situation and give me peace. Of course He did immediately.
Yesterday was the day. As the time drew near I hovered near the window. As she got out of her car and I beheld this gorgeous little petite woman, of course I felt clumsy and awkward and huge and homely and…then I felt the Holy Spirit whispering as always: “How DARE you criticize what I have made and honored with my presence?” And so, together we pushed Satan out of sight and hearing and I chose to simply enjoy getting to know this lovely creature.
Once my guard was down I discovered a precious gift: a kindred writer’s heart! First and foremost we both enjoy a strong walk with our Lord, loving our wonderful husbands, delighting in the grown children and grandchildren with whom we’ve been blessed, and a love for writing. Needless to say, the chatter lasted all afternoon and before we knew what time it was, my husband was walking in the door.
Eileen has also had her first three books published by OakTara. To see them go to oaktara.com/EileenHinkleRife and click on each book title, or to order go to Amazon.com and do a search for Eileen Hinkle Rife.
And as for me…well, I can hardly wait for the next time we get together. And I’m thanking God for the gift of another friend! God is SO good!!!

This morning as I checked my email early I had an email from my publisher saying that my book ‘The Long Road Home’ had been reviewed by Bruce Judisch on their website. If you care to see his review, the web address is: http://blogs.christianpost.com/bindings/2011/07/a-heartwarming-novella-the-long-road-home-07/.
He gives a wonderful review and, being timid me, I can use all the help I can get! I appreciate his kind words very much. If you care to visit his own website, go to: http://www.brucejudisch.blogspot.com/ and enjoy! Myself? I’m off to buy ‘Katia’!
Sometimes I have to smile at the way God works. No, let me correct that statement. Sometimes I have to sigh at my reaction to the things God is doing in my life. Something happens that was not part of my plan and suddenly I find myself sighing or complaining, or (gasp!) actually whining.
Don’t you really think I’d be past that at this age? Well, I’d think so too, but I’m not and I am truly ashamed to admit it, but I’d be lying if I didn’t.
This weekend I received an email asking me to ‘fill in’ another Sunday in the nursery at church for someone who couldn’t take their turn due to illness, and I admit I quickly tried to think of a good way out before I scolded myself and agreed (albeit somewhat reluctantly in my heart). Now, I ask you, wouldn’t you think at my age that I’d positively KNOW God was going to make something good come out of it? (My slowness amazes even me sometimes!)
But, in spite of me, God did make good come of it. I met a new friend! I’d heard her name before, and when we met, I realized I had wondered more than once what her name was when I’d seen her go forward for communion, but I’d never had opportunity to actually meet the young lady before. And today we had not only the opportunity to meet, but a whole hour of chatting (as we cared for toddlers) to get to know one another! I enjoyed our chat tremendously, and look forward to many more.
And tonight I sit and shake my head as I think of the many, many times I have sighed and yet God has blessed. Does He never tire of me?
Romans 8:28 says: “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” And all I can say is, “Yes indeed! He certainly does!”

Restaurant was good but again expensive - Review of Hotel Beausite
“Smelly, old room, ancient furniture, even older bathroom”
Seestrasse 16, Unterseen, Interlaken 3800, Switzerland |
Clean would be a positive. No grime or dirt anywhere but the room they stuck me in (room 7 and at the SINGLE room rate of 100 euros) was old as dirt, completely bland, nothing matched, a retarded metal suitcase rack that looked like it survived the war and then some. Bathroom featured pink tile from the 50's and linolieum to match. Not complaining too much here, older can be cute but for 100 euros single? (130 Swiss Franks) Too expensive.
The check in receptionist was great, the gal in the afternoon snooty x 10. Like all things Swiss, they charge for everything: You want a hairdryer? Leave a 30 euro deposit. Want a swiss electrical connector? 20 Euro deposit. No TV in room, radio looks like something my grandparents had when I was a child. Restaurant was good but again expensive. Wiener schnitzel and french fries for 49 Swiss Franks? They have to be kidding. Nice beer garden outside with lots of road noise but pretty view. Location is central and a short walk to the train station. I am underwhelmed by the place. If the price would have matched the quality It would have been OK but this place is out of whack.

“A superb holiday: hotel and location”
This was a return trip that was 45 years overdue and I was excited in visiting the area which had made a lasting impression when I visited with my school back in 1960s. This time I visited with my husband. The hotel was superb in every respect: friendly and very, very helpful staff, excellent room (we had requested a room with a view of the Jungfrau at the time of booking and we were not disappointed). The food was fantastic and my husband, who is a chef, was delighted at the choice, presentation and dishes presented each evening. Also, because we were not able to have the horse drawn carriage trip as included in our holiday, we were each given a packed lunch every day which was fresh and tasty. Unexpectedly, we were presented with them on our day of departure which was a lovely gesture as we had a total journey of about 8 hours. We cannot recommend the hotel highly enough and cannot wait to return but much sooner than another 45 years - hopefully next or the following year and we will stay at the Beausite again. It was in a lovely location and had a fabulous garden with loungers.

“Second visit to this hotel and so glad we returned.”
“Second visit to this hotel - even better than the first.”
We stayed for ten nights in June - this being the second visit, our first being 12 months earlier. The overall experience is relaxing, comfortable and satisfying. The room was excellent, beds superb,and bathroom large and immaculately clean. The service is good without being gushing or pushy - all information given quickly and efficiently when required. The food is first class - we were half board - although the breakfast is perhaps a little restricted. The location is great, very quiet, but only five minutes walk from Interlaken West station, with views from the front to the Jungfrau and from the rear over a charming garden to the mountains (and the hangliders). All in all an excellent holiday.

“I should have taken more notice of the reviews”
I read all the reviews detailing the strange smells in the rooms and the stained carpets and dated decor BUT decided to risk it because of the location. I wish I hadn't now. We left the windows open during the day in the hope that the smell wouldn't be so bad but at night the noise from the busy main road meant that we had to close the windows and the shutters and we still needed cotton wool in our ears.During the night the smell became really unbearable. I asked if we could move to a quieter room at the back but the extemely snooty receptionist was vey rude and sarcastic and said that there was no noise and the road was not a main one and was very quiet!! She should have heard it when the Japanese tours congregated right under our window at 6.30a.m. (four tours arrived and departed during the week) ...it was bedlam!! The breakfasts were quite good though and the views amazing. We thought 20 SF rather a lot to hire a hair dryer for the week.

Ask BethMidlands about Hotel Beausite
I booked this hotel after seeing their web site and got a great deal online through otel.com. but I was skeptical after reading tripadvisor reviews complaining about bad smell, shared bathrooms. Upon reaching Interlaken we found the hotel very close to Interlaken west station. We had reached at about 10.a.m. whereas the checkin time was 3.00 pm. Reception was efficient. our luggage was kept in backoffice . It was Sunday so we were offered brunch. Brunch spread was great.
We came back after a small tour. Our Luggage had been sent to our room. When we entered our room. Wow what a view. Windows were facing Jungfraujoch. They have all the necessary literature related to tour and excursions at reception.
Next day the breakfast spread was basic, but nice and filling. We had dinner for cheese fondue at Hotel resturant which has part covered and part open. We sat in open are and what a view while having Dinner. The tops of snow clad mountain lit up with the light of setting sun. Resturant staff was pleasent polite but had a lot of problem in understanding English.
Only negative point is the Hotel construction is a bit old, and we had booked a double room and got a twin room.
But the view from hotel and vacinity to city center overcomes everything

“Good Location Fantastic Views of The Jungfrau.”
A nice Hotel, situated in a quiet location, but within easy walking distance of town centre.
The staff could not have been more friendly, or more helpful. We went for the Lauberhorn
Ski race weekend,so ordered our race tickets, and rail tickets, to Wengen from the U.K,
through the Hotel. These were waiting for us upon arrival.
The room was clean and comfortable with great views of the mountains. The breakfasts
offered a good selection of cereals, yoghurt's,meats, cheeses and jams.
The evening meals were adequate, and plentiful.
All in all a most enjoyable stay, A Hotel to be recommended.

Haha! We hads some of the white stuffs here yesterday, too! But it's all gone today and the sun came to visit. Hopes the sun comes to visit you soon, too!Wiggles & Wags,Mayzie
Oh no!Is that dandruff, surely not snow...Licks and sniffs,Zack, Sassy and Buddy
Really? I do not envy you, it was almost 70 here yesterday...
You know us - we would take some snow any time, any where.
We won't be seeing that any time soon. Part of me does kind of wish for one more 1-2" storm, but I know that that's pretty much unheard of in New York in April (especially with the temps we've had lately).
Please send any snow or rain you do not need to us! We'll take all we can get! :)
Not snow!!! NO!! It's in the upper 70's here but they said it would get cold..please no snow!! Love, Debbie and Holly
Oh NO! It looks like you got into a flour fight!!!!Love,S-Dog

Hee-hee, my mom person says that is the price we pay for living in a place a beautiful as Michigan!

Yep, it is like that here too. Or it will be tomorrow, I should say. Yesterday it was 83 today 53 by morning 33 with... SNOW flurries. What is up with this stuff??????????????
The only white stuff I've ever seen on my coat is bubbles when I get washed. Even if your weatherman got it wrong - snow seems way more fun to me than shampoo!
Oh no snow.. The worls is topsy turvey.. Hugs GJ x
Your spring post was so pretty and we like that Scout was finding new digging spots, Ciara did that today too. If that snow is really bothering you, we sibes would love for you to send it to us.Woos- Phantom, Thunder, and Ciara

One Word At A Time: Breathing
I had great plans for today. I've had a busy couple of days as well as trying to write as much as I can. I'm attending a write-in tonight for my NaNo book so I thought I would work on the next couple of scenes for Front Page Bride, which I have all planned out. I also wanted to get a start on reorganizing my office which is overflowing with papers and school projects.
I also planned to go to the gym.
So, here I sit with my gym clothes on and my laptop open and I feel like pulling out Suzanne Brockmann's newest Troubleshooter book that I picked up from the library yesterday. It's not a very attractive cover, is it? I've been reading Romantic Suspense rather than straight Romance this month to keep me in the mood and inspire me with my own RS.
Writing flat out for three weeks has taken it's toll on my motivation to write. I've had to force myself to open the WIP the past two mornings and this morning I'm feeling restless and I'm having difficulty sitting still.
Maybe the best thing I can do for myself is take a break today.
Posted by Anne MacFarlane at 9:27 AM
I know how you feel about needing the break. It was harder than normal to get out of bed this morning to write. I almost didn't make it. The good news is we're almost done! And you're doing fantastic, Anne. :)
Sometimes you just need a breather. To recharge yourself mentally and creatively.
And judging by how well you did at the write-in, I'd say that little break worked for you! :-)
NaNo Fatigue - it's hitting most of us, I think. Go, Anne, go!

ARMENIAN POETRY PROJECT: Armenian Writers’ Union works to improve the state of Armenian literature: article in the Armenian Reporter
Through far-reaching conferences and publications, the union is bridging the literary traditions of the diaspora and the homelandby Aram Arkun, THE ARMENIAN REPORTER, Friday January 09, 2009Quotes from the article (emphasis by APP):"Aleksandr Topchyan argued for promoting the use of the Armenian language abroad where feasible, but also judiciously supported writing in other languages: "We must help Armenian writers abroad to be able to write in Armenian and not face the fate of Shahan Shahnur and others - a difficult thing that can be done only with the aid of the government," he said. "But if they have to choose between writing in another language and not being able to live as an Armenian-language writer, I prefer the former. If our language is not heard, let us write in other languages."..."Sarkis Guiragossian summarized the attitude of the majority in an article published on October 22, 2005, in Beirut's Aztag Daily: "Armenian writers who as a result of bitter fate create in foreign languages are not foreigners, but faithful and dedicated ambassadors of their Armenian blood and spirit in non-Armenian surroundings, and thanks to that very condition and their [Armenian] national activities, worthy of every sort of praise and respect." Zori Balayan pointed out that the presence of a global diaspora and its writers was one positive result for Armenia of the tragedy of the Armenian Genocide."

Seaweed for Bio Fuel?
Article from Scientific America discusses using bacteria to make biofuel.
Sounds promising, in test "researchers ground up some kombu, mixed it with water and added the altered E. coli. Before two days had gone by the solution contained about 5 percent ethanol and water. It also did this at (relatively) low temperatures between 25 and 30 degrees Celsius."
They make the excellent point, that using seaweed for biofuel wouldn't compete with edible crop production.

Iowa State University / Spring 2010 / Library Seminar / March 31
Since 2004 the New Media Consortium (NMC) has profiled select emerging technologies and practices that an advisory board predicts will enter mainstream use in learning-focused organizations over the next one to five years. For several years, the adoption and use of mobile devices and services have been featured in its annual Horizon Report.
In this presentation, we will review the mobile phenomenon and profile a wide array of initiatives and projects that offer anytime/anywhere access to a variety of educational and information resources, services, and sources. We will conclude with a review of current and potential challenges and opportunities that institutions and their departments face in the ever-expanding mobile environment.

The university was among the top 50 best UK universities chosen by major employers for producing ready-to-work graduates in Times Higher Education’s 2015 ranking and it is one of only a few UK HEIs to have been awarded a European Commission HR Excellence in Research badge.[6] Over the past two years it has risen an impressive 75 places in the rankings. Hertfordshire is also ranked in the top two universities in the east of England region for employability, second only to Cambridge.[7] Being one of the most technologically advanced institutions in Europe, Hertfordshire's enrolment has steadily increased since it was awarded university status.
With a student community of over 25,130[8] including more than 5,200 international students that together represent 100 countries, the university has a global network of over 165,000 alumni.[9] The university is one of Hertfordshire's largest employers with over 2,700 staff, 812 of which are academic members of staff[10] and a turnover of more than £235 million. The university is a member of Association of Commonwealth Universities and University Alliance.
University of Hertfordshire ranks 501–600 among world universities by Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2015. In another university ranking published by Times Higher Education (THE 100 Under 50 universities 2015), a global ranking of the top 100 world universities under 50 years old, University of Hertfordshire was placed 71st.[63] In another league table released by Times Higher Education in January 2015, Hertfordshire ranks 84th in the top 100 most international universities in the world.[64] The rankings are based on excellence across teaching, research, citations, industry income and international outlook.[65]
In the Guardian University Guide 2016 the university ranks 94 out of 116 UK universities.[65] The university is currently ranked 76th out of 127, by the Sunday Times University Guide, for modern university rankings.
According to the National Student Survey, the University of Hertfordshire has a score of 82 out of 100, for overall student satisfaction. This is below the national average of 85 out of 100.[66] In spite of this, Hertfordshire continuously strive to improve students' experience through developing student engagement.[67] The University of Hertfordshire was awarded Entrepreneurial University of the Year 2010 by the Times Higher Education.[68] In September 2015, it has been revealed by Complete University Guide that the University of Hertfordshire has the lowest recorded 'student-relevant' crimes in the East of England. It is the fourth year the university has had the lowest rate of recorded crime in the East of England.[69]
According to the complaint statistics, from the Office of the Independent Adjudicator, the university issued 69 completion of procedures letters in relation to student complaints, in 2013. This is below the band medium of 81, possibly suggesting greater student satisfaction when compared to universities of a similar size.[70] The OIA received 22 complaints in 2013. This is above the band medium of 18.5, possibly suggesting that more students are dissatisfied with the outcome of internal complaints procedure's, compared to universities of a similar size.[70]
The University has three research institutes: Health and Human Sciences Research Institute; Science and Technology Research Institute; Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities Research Institute. Also an expanding research profile with key strengths in areas of nursing, psychology, history, philosophy, physics and computer science.[71]
In recognition of development activities related to research careers and the position of researchers at the University, the European Commission awarded University of Hertfordshire the right to use the HR Excellence in Research logo in spring 2010.[71][72]
Over 55 per cent of the University's research has been rated 'world leading' and 'internationally excellent' in the UK Government's 2014 Research Excellence Framework (REF) announced last 18 December 2014. Fifty seven percent of the University's research submissions achieved a 4 or 3 star rating. This is an increase of 11% when compared to the results of assessment in 2008.[73] In 2014, it claimed the top impact for History for the results of REF, indicating that all of its submission in History is deemed 'outstanding'.[74]
The University of Hertfordshire houses an art collection, the Bayfordbury Observatory, Crush Radio, Kaspar, Park and Ride among its facilities. In an interview with the Times Higher Education, Andrew May, the Director of Estates, Hospitality and Contract Services at the University of Hertfordshire has asserted that what the University aims to do was to use the estates strategy as the delivery vehicle for driving corporate and cultural change.[75] In 1992, it established University of Hertfordshire Press, whose first publication was a book celebrating the institution's change in status from polytechnic to university.
The University of Hertfordshire holds over 450 artworks in its art collection. The ethos of the UH Art Collection is to present modern and contemporary art in places where people study, work and visit. This reflects the University of Hertfordshire's determination to provide not only an attractive education setting but also one which will inform, enlighten and enhance the life of its students, staff and the local community.[76] The UH Art Collection was established in 1952, as part of Hertfordshire Country Council's commitment to the post-war programme. The collection has a diverse portfolio including photography, textile, ceramics, sculpture, mixed media and works by Ben Nicholson, Barbara Hepworth, Andy Goldsworthy, Alan Davie, and Diane MacLean.[76]
Situated approximately 6 miles (10 kilometres) from the main campus in Hatfield, Bayfordbury Observatory is one of the astronomical teaching observatories in the United Kingdom. The observatory has formed an integral part of the University of Hertfordshire's astronomy-related degree programmes since it opened in 1970 and is used by students from the first week of their degree through to their final year, when it can also be used for their final year projects.[77] The Bayfordbury observatory also houses a flight simulator, wind tunnels and a simulated intensive care unit,[78] and is regarded as one of the best teaching observatories in the UK.[79]
The seven optical telescopes at Bayfordbury campus allow students to observe detailed images of objects in space. They can be equipped with a variety of research-grade CCD cameras, high resolution spectrographs or high frame-rate video cameras. Moreover, the five newest telescopes are also able to be operated remotely, and students and staff can request observations via the internet and have images taken automatically when the weather allows. The 4.5-metre radio telescope and 3-dish 115-metre baseline interferometer allow a completely different view of the universe. These are connected to 21 cm line receivers, to detect the neutral hydrogen in the galaxy and extragalactic radio sources.[77]
Trident Media Radio (formally known as Crush Radio, Campus Radio Hatfield, CRUSH and Crush 1278) is the student radio station. TMR is run by students of the university.[80] Crush is run by students of the university along with amateurs from around the surrounding areas.
UniversityBus became Uno in 2005, a bus service not only for University staff and students but also the entire Hertfordshire community. The name 'Uno' stems from the University's desire for this bus service to become everyone's number one choice for travel. It provides student transport to the expanding university from local areas as well as improving east-west travel across Hertfordshire and has opened up new links from North London. Services have expanded rapidly as the University has closed outlying sites at Watford and Hertford and developed the new de Havilland Campus on the site of the former Hatfield Aerodrome. Other developments on this site, including business premises for companies such as Veolia, DHL and T-mobile which have also provided passengers. Uno also operate urban bus networks in St Albans and Northampton, as well as a network of routes between Milton Keynes, Bedford and Flitwick for Cranfield University.[84]
The main source of nightlife is the Forum, which offers live entertainment and club facilities for the region of Hertfordshire. With a total capacity of 2,000, the Forum houses three entertainment spaces, a restaurant, a café, multiple bars and onsite parking. The 'local pub' on campus, the revamped Ele house, holds seats, big screen TVs, and pool tables providing a convenient location to socialise.[87] Hertfordshire Students' Union (HSU) is the Students' Union of the University of Hertfordshire.[88] The Students' Union Social Centre was opened in 1977.[14] The Hatfield Technical College's management encouraged the establishment of a Student Representative Council (SRC) in 1982, to create a sense of unity and expand the social activities of its day students. The SRC was affiliated to the National Union of Students but initially restricted itself largely to social activities. After 1988 it began to campaign on issues such as improvements to the canteen, lifting the ban on religious or political activity within the then Hatfield Polytechnic, and for a formal students' union. The sectarian ban was finally lifted in 1992 and a Union granted in 1995. However, the canteen continued to be an issue throughout the 2000s. The Students' Union at the University of Hertfordshire represents all students in the university by organising campus activities and running different clubs and societies, from sports to entertainment.[40]

Real Estate West Kelowna REALTOR®: June 2012
For a lot of people, the number one reason they choose to rent versus buy their
own home is their fear of signing their name to a long-term mortgage agreement.
But let’s face it – very few of us can go through life without paying for our place of
residence in one form or another. In that sense, you’ve already made a
commitment to a fixed schedule of payments for housing -- whether it’s in the
form of a mortgage or a rental lease. In actual fact, one of the major advantages
of a mortgage agreement is that it usually covers a longer time period than a
lease -- which can work in your favor. Since no one can guarantee what your
rental payments may be two or even five years down the road, your mortgage
agreement actually protects you from the increases – compounding annually --
you can often encounter when you rent.
Nevertheless, some people are still intimidated by the total debt that a mortgage
agreement represents. Yet if you added up all the rental payments you could
expect to pay over an extended period of time, you may find that going the
mortgage route is actually the more affordable of the two options. With today’s
relatively low mortgage rates, and creative financing options, the cost of carrying
a home may be lower than what you might expect. Your Coldwell Banker real
estate professional can show you how owning your own home may be more
affordable than you ever imagined.
While making mortgage payments may actually be more affordable than paying
rental costs, let’s not lose sight of the biggest financial benefit of buying a home.
The simple fact of the matter is, when you rent, you’re slowly but surely building
someone else’s ownership equity in the property. On the other hand, when you
buy a home, a portion of your mortgage payment is building personal equity for
you. And if sometime in the future, you decide to sell, that equity is something
you’ll take with you as you make your next move.
Lastly, let’s not forget the creative freedom and pride of ownership that comes
with owning your own property. When you buy, you decide the extent of home
improvements, and decor changes you want to make. You decide on color
schemes and where you want to build that bookcase. Maybe best of all, you gain
the equity that those improvements add to your home. Spending money to
improve a rental property just puts value in someone else’s pocket.
If you’re tired of paying off someone else’s home for them, talk to your Coldwell

17 thoughts on “I Return + Suit and Suitability by Kelsey Bryant”
Ohhhh my goodness this sounds so good…I just recently watched the Sense and Sensibility movie and was reminded of how great it is (it had been a while since I read the book). I must add this to my list!!!
Back again to let you know I tagged you for the Blue Sky Tag:
(Only if you want to, of course!)
That’s probably because it IS so good! 😉 The movie’s definitely fun! 😀 Yes, do add it! I think you’d enjoy it! ^_^
Also, thanks so much for tagging me! I shall check it out! 🙂
Oh it’s so fun to read flailing reviews! I’m SO glad you enjoyed this one and had such a good time with it! I’ve never…erm…read a Jane Austen book.😂 I should probably go sit in the corner of shame now, right?! But I’m glad this was a solid retelling that stayed try to the Austen sort of vision. That’s what good retellings need. 😀
Haha, thanks, Cait! Glad the flailing is enjoyable. XD And hey, they’re not for EVERYONE, so no shaming. 😉 But yes, retellings!! Thanks for your comment! 🙂
CELTI POOOOST! *tackles it* I have SO missed your posts on this blog. I was ecstatic to see this.
But I was so upset when I heard a wasp hurt your hand!!!! D: The worst thing one could ever do to a writer is injure their hand. EVIL WASP.
OKAY. THIS BOOK. IT SOUNDS AMAZING. I actually totally loved Sense and Sensibility. Like A LOT. So I think I’d be alllll over a retelling for it! And if you loved this book this much, I’m sure to love it, too! I may like it even more because I adore the 1930s. I love that time period. Also, I actually dreamed of being a stage actor when I was young, and would still so love to do it. Like…when I was younger it was a HUGE passion of mine. I might would have tried it, because I think I can act okay, but you also have to be a singer for those things and…singing for me is a big no, unfortunately. So because of that I just didn’t try pursuing it. But yeah, I still so love the idea of acting on a stage. Actually, when I was 10 I was in a little Snow White play. Just as one of the background villagers, but it was soooo fun!
But ANYWAYS, all that to say, I adore stage acting and the idea of that kind of life, so I’d probably love every aspect of this book! (But it’s always weird to me to find interests we have totally different views on because it’s so rare. xD)
BUT BACK TO THE BOOK. IT SOUNDS AMAZING. I love that the Edward character gets more screen-time, because he definitely didn’t have enough in the original story. And I really liked your thoughts on Jane Austen’s worldviews (because her books really aren’t ALL about the ships xD). That’s awesome this book captured that.
Your whole review was so spectacular. I know I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again, you do such a wonderful job of capturing the feel of a book in your reviews without ever once giving away anything. They’re perfect! AND I MUST READ THIS BOOK ONE DAY!!!
AWK, you are sweetness itself! ❤ Thank you! 🙂
And thanks too for the condolences. The wasp is a thing of the past now, so I's fine. ^_^ (But yes, evil wasp. :P)
I'M GLAD IT INTRIGUES YOU! And yes, if you liked the original S&S, you will like this one too, methinks! Even if you're not much of a historical fiction person. 😉 AND MY GOODNESS YOU LOVE THE '30S AND STAGE ACTING SO IT IS PERFECT FOR YOU! :O I had no idea about the acting and you buuut that kind of makes sense. I think it's a thing where extroverted writers want to act, because it's like the extroverted version of writing/telling a story. 😛 (That's so fun you were a villager in Snow White! :))
So yes, it sounds even more like you'd like it! 😀 I hope you get to try reading it someday. ^_^ (And yes, it is weird whenever we find things we're opposites on. XD)
YESSSSSSSS EDWARD!!! He's so underrated but great, and also this author's favorite, so I was really glad he got more attention. 😀 (And yes, not just about all the ships. XD I love how you put that. XDDD Yep, it captured lots of other, deeper things. :))
EEEP THANK YOU SO MUUUCH! ^_^ I'm so glad you like my reviews! 😀 I hope you do someday!!!
I DID miss you!! Glad you’re back!! 😀
Oh my word, these look amazing! I don’t really read historical fiction, but I love retellings, so I might give these a try! I love your reviews so much, you don’t even know. Flaily reviews are my favorite. XD
D’aww, thank you so much you sweet darling! ❤
I don't read much hist-fic either, but yes, they are definitely fun as retellings!
And aww, thank youuuuuu! You are the nicest thing, Madeline! ^_^ I'm glad you enjoy my flailing. XD
Arielle Melody Bailey
This is a GREAT review and I look forward to re-reading it once I’ve read this book.
Also, for the record, you’re not the only one. Marianne was never one of my favorite Austen girls either- partly because I’m personally Elinor + Elizabeth Bennet, partly because I have a sister who is Marianne to the hilt. *spinny eyes* You’re not the only one who doesn’t really like Marianne. 🙂
Thank you so much!! And eep, I’m glad you liked the review! ^_^ Ooh, I hope you read it! I’d be curious what you’d think. 😀
Whew, glad I’m not the only one. 😛 I’m probably some mix of those two. XD (At least, they’re two of my favorites…) But yikes, this aaalmost makes it sound like you don’t like one of your sisters! o.o Hee. 😉 (Unless it’s an INTJ thing.) Good to know I’m not alone!
Thanks for your comment, Lody! ❤
Thank you so much for your review, Deborah! You made my day! I’m soooo happy to know how much you enjoyed it. You were such a helpful beta-reader, too. 🙂 I’m so glad Everett was your favorite character because he and Ellen are mine (what a surprise, haha!). But I was so pleased to hear how all the characters came across as notable and realistic. They’re all my kiddos, so I kind of like them all (even if some drive me nuts—you understand how it is with characters that act villainous). 🙂 Thank you again for your review; you really are a master at writing them!
Oh, and I totally meant to mention this in my previous comment: I am so sorry about that mean wasp and your hand! Spiteful creature! One of the worst places it could have stung you. 😦 Those wasps are the worst. Glad to hear you’re healing up!
Aww, you are so welcome! ^_^ I’m glad you enjoyed it! And that I could be helpful. 😉 Thank YOU for writing such a lovely book and for the chance to read it! ❤ Everettttt!!! Yes, he's the best! And I loved both him and Ellen, and it makes me happy they're you're favorites as well as mine! 😀 But yes, sometimes we're fond of all our characters… And thank you!!
(Also thanks for the condolences on the wasp. I'm fine now, fortunately. 🙂 But yes, quite the spiteful thing! :P)

A Bookish Affair: Review: Paris Nights: My Year at the Moulin Rouge by Cliff Simon
Review: Paris Nights: My Year at the Moulin Rouge by Cliff Simon
Title: Paris Nights: My Year at the Moulin Rouge
Author: Cliff Simon
Publish Date: July 15, 2016
From Goodreads.com: "Paris Nights: My Year at
the Moulin Rouge opens with a bored twenty six year old Cliff Simon staring out at the ocean from his beachfront house, wishing he was somewhere else. Gavin Mills telephones him from Paris inviting him to join him at the iconic Moulin Rouge. Cliff sells everything he owns, leaving Johannesburg, South Africa for the City of Lights. He learns that his spot at the Moulin is not guaranteed, and is forced to audition. Making the grade, "he is put into can can" school before he is
allowed into the company. His adrenaline is pumping from excitement and
fear, both of which he has faced before. Taking a look back we see twelve year old Cliff helming a racing dinghy in the midst of a thunderstorm on the Vaal River. His father yells at him not to be a sissy, and he brings the boat back to shore alone. We then travel to London with his family escaping the tumult of Apartheid. He trains for the Olympics, but drops out, enrolling in the South African military where he subjected to harsh treatment and name calling - Fokken Jood. After a honorable discharge, he works in cabaret at seaside resorts, and
is recruited as a gymnast in a cabaret, where he realizes that the stage is his destiny. The memoir fast forwards to Cliff's meteoric rise at the Moulin from swing dancer to principal in "Formidable." Off stage he gets into fights with street thugs, hangs out with diamond smugglers,
and has his pick of gorgeous women. With a year at the Moulin to his credit, doors open for him internationally and back in South Africa. He earns a starring role in "Egoli: Place of Gold," and marries his long-time girlfriend, Colette. On their honeymoon to Paris, Cliff says, 'Merci Paris for the best year of my life.'"
In "Paris Nights," actor and dancer (who knew?) Cliff Simon recounts his year as a dancer at the famed Moulin Rouge in Paris. He also throws in some other stories from his life throughout the book so the book is not all about the Moulin Rouge but more of a memoir of some key events throughout Simon's life. This is a quick read that will give readers a taste of what it is like to perform at the Moulin Rouge, a place which has captured the imagination of so many over the years!I have never been to Paris but if and when I get a chance to go, I would love to go see the Moulin Rouge. It has such a rich and fascinating history. You get a bit of a taste of the shows that are put on there in this book, which I really liked. The book definitely whet my appetite even more for getting a chance to visit. The book is mostly focused on what it is like to put on a show rather than the history of the theater or anything like that. I loved the detail that the author included about the performances!The writing of the book is good. The storytelling is a little choppy as the parts of Simon's life that he chooses to focus on don't seem to be in any order. First, he finds out that he has a chance to work at the Moulin Rouge and next, he's talking about his childhood in South Africa. Because the stories were interested, I still enjoyed the book but I don't think that I got as into it as I could have with all the jumping around as that was a little jarring. Overall, this was an interesting read that could have been served by a little more focus.
Cliff Simon,
MysticaJuly 22, 2016 at 9:59 PMSince this might be the closest I will get to the Moulin Rouge, I think I'd like to read this one too.ReplyDeleteTarheelFIT1July 23, 2016 at 9:05 AMI'm fascinated by the Moulin Rouge, too, and would definitely like to learn more about what went into it.

A FLYING machine which in the opinion of many prominent mechanical experts of this city and vicinity combines eminent practicability with utter simplicity, and which also, they believe, gives decided assurances of success from a commercial as well as a merely spectacular standpoint, has recently been devised by S.D. Mott, an electrical engineer and inventor of a number of electrical appliances, of Passaic, N.J. View Full Article in Timesmachine »

Rated 4.3 out of 5★�by 35reviewers.Rated 3 out of 5★�by OurOpinion Shelves don't seem sturdy The look of the changing table was very nice, easy to put together. However, we did not trust the shelve under where the baby would be changed. They were made of a formica type of board, not wood & kind of bendable.We returned this product for Graco- Lauren changing table, price similiar actually like $10 less & the shelves are wood & feel so much more secure. 08/11/2008Rated 1 out of 5★�by fdsafdsa Worst piece of furniture ever This is quite possibly the worst piece of furniture I have ever purchased. The shelves won't hold a wicker basket with diapers. The shelves are thin and cardboard-like. They are supported solely by fitting into grooves. Even after my husband added a support bar under the middle, they still fell out. This changing table is completely useless if you want to use the shelves. 11/20/2009Rated 5 out of 5★�by NataliesMomma Perfect Addition I didn't want to bother with a changing table because I don't think I'll be using it much. I was looking everywhere for a dresser for my daughter's nursery and I decided to get the changing table and use it basically as shelves. I decided to get baskets for better organization. It is very sturdy. Pretty easy to assemble. 01/17/2008Rated 4 out of 5★�by kellythereviewer Beautiful!! Looks beautiful in my nursery! Very easy to put together and great price. Have not used it with the baby yet, but it seems to be very sturdy. Would recommend! 08/13/2009Rated 5 out of 5★�by ARHmommy Perfect for Changing Baby My husband and I were looking for a changer that was sturdy but also not outrageously priced. I thought we would be able to find that... but who would spend $200 for a changer? Crazy! We were so happy to find this one. It was easy enough to put together and does the perfect job. I got my pad from babies r us and it fit just fine. There is great storage underneath for all the changing needs. GREAT TABLE! 10/02/2008Rated 4 out of 5★�by sta4wv What Expected The quality is good, went together very easily, the changing pad is very thin. Bought another one, a 17 X 32 pad is ideal for this table. Like b/c it just doesn't look like a changing table and will be able to use after. The space between the shleves are nice, have pretty tall baskets underneath and still easy to access. The color is a nice white, normal, not pearl or off white or anything like that. Haven't used yet, so can't rate on performance. 02/16/2010Rated 3 out of 5★�by partygirltalk Pretty Piece I love the table. I believe it was a little too expensive. Putting it together wasn’t so bad one side goes on fine when you try to put the second side on over the thin shelves it was a little difficult. Also the company who made the pieces sent me a side that has a huge dent in it and the second side has a HUGE crack through the wood, I called them said they would replace the sides told me 5 days well it took over a week to receive and they only sent me one side so I need to call again, I believe there is only a thirty day warranty with the company also, so check it as soon as you receive it! 08/14/2007Rated 3 out of 5★�by NewDad100 There must be better choices Customer service from the manufacturer was top notch. Apparently there are two versions of this product being sold, the difference being the assembly method. One version used pegs, bolts, and barrel nuts. The other version uses pegs, bolts, and threaded inserts. The former version is very prone to damage while assembling. The latter does not have as thick a top shelf as the former. If I could combine the pro's from both designs, I'm still not sure I would purchase this product again. I would recommend viewing tables in a store prior to purchasing. I do plan to use this table now that it is assembled with replacement parts, I just plan to be cautious. 07/16/2008 2014-08-20bvseo-cps-pl-PRRRead all reviews: Badger Basket Sleigh Changing Table, White

The primary right to prosecute remains that of the state, and a private prosecution is an exception.
South African lobby group AfriForum made legal history in 2017, when it launched the country's first dedicated private prosecutions unit headed by former state prosecutor Gerrie Nel.
At the time of its establishment, Nel said AfriForum's prosecutions unit would chase down people guilty of corruption or other heinous acts that had not been prosecuted by the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA). He claimed to be heading an "outfit that won't take injustice lying down".
The establishment of the unit came amid accusations that the NPA is politically biased and highly selective in the prosecutions it pursues.
Malema kryt AfriForum uit ná aankondiging van privaat vervolging teen hom - Forum Nuus https://t.co/cmLuFVYai7
— AfriForum (@afriforum) April 19, 2018
On Thursday AfriForum announced that it would prosecute EFF leader Julius Malema for fraud and corruption linked to an On-Point Engineering contract.
This is the second official pursuit of a prosecution that the lobby group is placing against a well-known figure in politics. In October 2017 it began its case against Jacob Zuma's son Duduzane on charges of culpable homicide, following an accident in 2014 in which Duduzane crashed into a minibus taxi in his Porsche, leaving Phumzile Dube fatally injured.
Duduzane has also had a highly controversial business relationship with the Gupta family for several years, and as late as November 2017, AfriForum was urging the NPA to either prosecute him for the car accident, or allow the group to prosecute him privately. On Thursday, according to EWN, the NPA finally announced that it would be bringing charges against Duduzane Zuma relating to the crash.
But how do private prosecutors work, and are they common in South Africa?
Professor Jamil Mujuzi from the University of the Western Cape faculty of law says in South African law, there are two types of private prosecutions: one that is instituted by an individual who is the victim of a crime, or their relative or another person authorised by the section to represent the victim, and one that is brought by a juristic person authorised to so by legislation or by a municipality.
This is the procedure under Section 7 of the Criminal Procedure Act, if the director of public prosecutions (DPP) has declined to prosecute.
"Normally, what happens when a person becomes a victim of crime, is that the offence is reported to the police, who undertake investigations. If the police think that there is a case, then a docket is forwarded to the NPA, and the NPA decides whether to prosecute or not," Mujuzi says.
If the NPA decides not to prosecute, the crime victim can then apply for a "certificate nolle presequi", in which the DPP states that the evidence against the accused has been seen, and the NPA has declined to prosecute.
Mujuzi says it is only then that a private prosecution can take place – within three months, and there are costs involved. Based on the above, he says, AfriForum doesn't have the right to institute a private prosecution of Malema at this point.
Gerrie Nel responds to Malema comments: "I will not respond to any one of those matters, even if they are very personal and challenging" https://t.co/PQYuwrH6SB
— HuffPost SouthAfrica (@HuffPostSA) April 19, 2018
"AfriForum does not have the right to prosecute in this case – because there are many cases, including those from the Supreme Court of Appeal, in which South African courts have [ruled] that a private company, an organisation, a political party, and a bank, don't have a right to institute a private prosecution – therefore, based on that, AfriForum does not have a right to do so."
"For a private prosecution to take place, institutions such as AfriForum have to identify a victim of crime, and then [prove that] they represent the victim."
In order for them to conduct a private prosecution, these institutions have to offer legal assistance to victims, Mujuzi says. "This is because South African law on private prosecutions is victim-based, especially when you look at the Criminal Procedure Act."
"What a group like AfriForum would have to do in this case, is to first identify a victim of Malema's offences, and assist him or her," he said.
Mujuzi reiterated that the primary right to prosecute remains that of the state – and a private prosecution is an exception.
Constitutional law expert Pierre de Vos bolstered Mujuzi's interpretation, saying private authorities cannot conduct a private prosecution in their own name. However, he also pointed out that there have been previous examples of successful private prosecutions.
"Yes, there are cases that have been successful – there was one in 2016 [in which] the NPA had previously refused to prosecute a man for the murder of his girlfriend, and the family said they didn't agree with the decision, which led them to launch a private prosecution – and the person was prosecuted."
Now leading @HuffPostSA: Malema reacts to AfriForum prosecution: "Bring it on, bloody racists" https://t.co/bG4PUhAbYq pic.twitter.com/XTelKCVf23
De Vos was referring to a Pietermaritzburg case of a family known as the Ashamals, who fought for justice for more than a decade, after Western Cape prosecuting authorities declined to press charges when their daughter Rochelle Naidoo was shot dead by her boyfriend, Faizel Hendricks.
Through private prosecutions, the family managed to secure a 15-year prison sentence for Hendricks, in South Africa's first private prosecution for murder.
Advocate Angus McKenzie from the Johannesburg Society of Advocates, on the other hand, says that in the matter involving Malema, AfriForum would have an argument of public interest: "I believe that AfriForum would argue that it has a substantial interest in the matter, as it is a public-interest organisation, and it is in the public interest that public figures like Malema be prosecuted – particularly when the charge against him is one of corruption.
"There is ample authority in other areas of our law for the proposition that public-interest organisations, like AfriForum, have an interest in matters involving the exercise of public powers."
