They've been there about 25 years and a lot can accumulate in that amount of time. My husband and I have been going there since the beginning of last summer just to clean out the garage. Not much has come home from those forays and most of what has has just ended up in his shop because it was garage-type things.
Now it's house-type things. I'm not one to collect a lot, although my sister and mom would tell you differently. I think my accumulation habits lie somewhere between my mom and my sister; I won't expose which spectrum either of them lands.
It was a lot of smaller things this weekend, except for a chair. Oh no! My sister and my mom are thinking; not another chair! So as I was trying to figure out how to acclimate a dusty rose recliner into my living room, all the thoughts of redoing the living room came bubbling to the surface.
I have a striped theme, which I've had for many years and I've recently been tired of it. My husband thinks the new couch I got last year has darkened up the room, but I'm also tired of the stripes. So we started running around to thrift stores trying to find the right piece of furniture or drapes to bring into the fold of the living room that would lighten it up, replace a chair that was stained and I was going to have to recover, and change the theme of the room.
Problem was, I didn't want the theme to change from greens, reds and browns to the dusty rose color of the chair I got from my MIL. It's not an antique chair, so it's not like if I didn't want it I would be getting rid of family history; it's just a spare chair.
Of course, once I start thinking of changing things, the ball starts rolling in my head and picks up ideas. We ran around to all the thrift stores, then I said, "Let's stop at Fred Meyer. I have to go to the bathroom and we can look at their furniture to see if anything sparks my interest." (Thrift store bathrooms are under lock and key and I always feel like I'm doing something surreptitious when I ask for the key).
Fred Meyer has the matching chair to my couch, but it's pretty massive. Also, I had recently been at Fred Meyer looking at furniture because I've been wanting to update my living room, so I was pretty sure there wasn't anything there.
So after determining there was still nothing there, my husband, oldest daughter and I were sitting on one of the couches, wondering what was next when I spotted a yellow pillow. The pillow was pretty atrocious because it was some weird, tribble-looking (Star Trek, circa 1967) sort of monstrosity, but it was such a pretty yellow.
"Yellow! That's what I need to bring into the room!"
Oldest daughter: "Yay! I love yellow"
Husband: (and this is important to note) "What about Pier 1? You've bought chairs from there."
Okay, I had forgotten all about Pier 1. It probably wouldn't have come on my radar at all if he hadn't said anything. So we went; it's right next to Fred Meyer. And there in the doorway was the perfect yellow chair. Well the chair wasn't perfect, but the fabric was.
The people looked to see if they still had curtains in that fabric, but it had been discontinued. Then one of them said, "That fabric comes on other styles of chairs."
Just to shorten this story, yes, I brought home a new chair, along with some yellow, linen curtains (and some really cool cups, but that's another story). Now I just need to find some fabric for the top valance and decide if the rose-colored chair stays or if my striped stuffed chair stays. And I'm so thrilled, because I didn't even know there was a yellow thread running through my new couch until I got those yellow curtains up.
And about the chair that had a stain (in a most unfortunate place), I used a tide stick on it and it dribbled tide all over it and made a more unfortunate and even bigger stain. Then not being able to even donate a chair like that I took a damp rag to it. My husband walked in a couple hours later, "The stain is completely gone."
But now I have a brightened up living room, a new chair and two spare chairs. One or two of them have to go. Which one(s) will it be?

Anything that saves me time and is convenient– I'm down with it–like totally down. That why I like these new AVEENO Positively Radiant Daily Cleansing Pads. Sometimes I'm just too tired to take off my makeup at night. I do really try to be good about it, but there are times I just don't have the energy to go through my nightly routine. I've tried several brands of makeup wipes, but most of them leave my skin feeling dry or sticky especially if I use them for more than a few days in a row. Plus, I have never found a makeup wipe that gets ALL my makeup off-there is always some residual left–at least these foaming pads get the job done the first time!
The great thing about these pre-moistened pads is that they are soap-free, oil-free, hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic AND packed with skin-conditioning cleansers and natural soy. Each disk has two sides; one smooth for gentle cleansing and the other side is textured for exfoliation. They are designed for daily gentle exfoliation–it you need something stronger, I recommend AVEENO Positively Radiant Skin Brightening Daily Scrub. The disks are self-foaming–just wet your face and go for it! I use the smooth side first to take off makeup and then follow with the textured side to exfoliate. I love the fresh, clean scent! I've only used them for a week but I do like that they are gentle enough to not make my skin feel stripped. I will honestly say I won't use these everyday but I will use them on nights when I want to wash my face and get to bed quickly.
AVEENO Positively Radiant Daily Cleansing Pads retail for about $7-8 and can be found at most major drugstores. Do you ever use cleansing pads? Would you try them?

About Me
I am happy to have this opportunity to share some information about myself. It is very important that you feel comfortable with your physician, so I hope the information here will help you to start to get to know me.
I did my psychiatry training in Europe, and then I continued my education at UCLA, where I earned master's degrees in public health and public policy. Subsequently, I did my general psychiatry residency training at the UCLA San Fernando Valley Psychiatry Residency Program. As I was very interested in child development, I completed further training in the adolescent psychiatry program at UC San Diego. I am board certified in child, adolescent, and adult psychiatry, and I joined Kaiser Permanente in 2014. I am fluent in Romanian and Russian, and I am learning Spanish.
About my practice
I am open to treat any mental illness, and I work with children, adolescents, and adults. I am particularly interested in ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), autism spectrum disorders, developmental disabilities, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and OCD spectrum disorders. My goal working with my patients is not only to treat the symptoms of mental illness but also help them follow the normal development curve and help them achieve the tasks and milestones for each developmental period. My ultimate goal while working with my patients is achievement of a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being.
How I thrive
I enjoy spending time with my family. I like outdoor activities, physical exercise, and reading.

Intel is waiting for the release of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich before they start releasing Smartphone's, Tablets and Android devices with their processors apparently. Ice Cream Sandwich is now Intel x86 ready and although it wasn't made public in terms of what features ICS had, it's certainly a very significant one indeed. We could be seeing Intel powered x86 Smartphone's and tablets as soon as next year.
Moving away from it's own affiliation with MeeGo to work with Android is a massive boost that finally Intel are on board and ready to go with the little green robot.
"Ice Cream Sandwich includes OS optimization for x86, so Intel architecture-based devices can support it," said Suzy Greenberg, an Intel spokeswoman.
Currently Android is a very ARM affair and chipset makers like Nvidia, Samsung, Qualcomm and Texas Instruments have been reaping the benefits greatly. Intel will have to do a lot to catch up, but then again it's Intel for Christ sake, they have the power, the means, and they knowledge to make a major impact in this mobile market with Android.
Will we be seeing a Intel powered device spearheading the Android sector next year or will they fail to catch up and make an impact at all, with manufacturers ignoring them for the respected current ARM chip producers and reliable use. Although, x86 powered Intel devices sounds very inviting indeed, and i for one look forward in Intel getting into the ring with the rest of the chipset makers, bring the competition and bring the power Intel.

Getting an older rug cleaned or repaired can do wonders for it, especially if it is an antique. In many cases it can make an old rug look like new again. Further, cleaning can have a dramatic effect on the look and feel of your home. However, there are some signs that your rug simply cannot be saved. So join Woods as we discuss some of the top signs of a rug that needs replacing.
1: Large, Many and/or Unremovable Stains
This is one of the most obvious issues. One of the first signs of a rug that needs replacing are unremovable stains. This may be one, large, obvious stain or many small ones. This occurs when stains are not treated the right way or quickly enough. As a result they seep deep into the fibres and backing. In these cases even professional rug cleaners cannot remove the stain. In this case it is best to replace the rug. Especially if you cannot live with the stain or hide it with furniture.
2: Excessive Wear and Tear
Wear and tear that has threatened the integrity and useability of the rug is also a good indicator that it is time to replace it. A rug is going to break down faster and sooner if:
- It is in a high traffic area
- Has been cleaned incorrectly
- Damaged by moths
- Worn away due to grinding against debris from a lack of cleaning
Rug fibres can very rarely be repaired. If it is especially worn away, and the wear is obvious, then it is time to replace it.
3: Smells
Bad odours can not only affect your room but your day to day comfort. And it can be very easy for your rug to harbour bad smells. Rugs can accumulate mould if they are not cleaned and dried effectively and they can also harbour odours from pet urine. Mould can cause allergy issues while pet urine can not only linger and be untreatable but also be a sign of a deeper staining and acidic rotting issue in the rug. It is important to have a rug treated immediately by a professional if your pet has an accident on it. Further, it is important not to have rugs cleaned in the home as it is impossible to dry them properly. If a smell has already permanently set in your rug, then you will have to replace it.
4: Binding is Coming Loose
If a rug is in a high traffic area, where a lot of people are walking on it, then normal wear and tear is expected. However, when the binding begins to come undone, and/or the material starts to fray, then you may need to consider repairing or replacing your rug. In some cases a loose binding can be fixed by a skilled, professional rug repairer. However, if the rug has become too damaged and frayed, you will need to replace it entirely as the fibres are too damaged to attach a new backing or binding to them.
Professional rug cleaning and repairs can breathe new life into antique rugs that are bearing the brunt of daily use. This is especially the case with expensive oriental rugs as the cost of cleaning and repairs are usually justified. However, if your rug is severely damaged or cheap in the first place – such as a nylon rug – then it is likely more cost effective to simply replace your rug than to attempt to repair or clean it.
If you have a precious antique or oriental rug that needs repair or cleaning, contact the team at Woods Rug Laundry today. Our staff are highly trained professionals who can help you assess the state of your rug and see whether you would benefit from repair, cleaning or whether you would be better replacing your rug.

This was published 11 months ago
Star casino partner has close ties to banned businessman
A significant shareholder in Australian casino heavyweight Star Group has strong links to a Hong Kong businessman banned from any involvement in rival Crown's new Barangaroo facility due to concerns about his links to organised crime.
The shareholder, a company called Chow Tai Fook Enterprises, is also a joint-venture partner with Star on its $3 billion Queen's Wharf Casino complex in Brisbane, due to open in 2022, and the $500 million Ritz Carlton development in Sydney.
Chow Tai Fook is controlled by Henry Cheng whose family also holds a 9.6 per cent stake in SJM, the Macau gambling giant that Stanley Ho founded and of which he remains director.
Dr Cheng was on the board of SJM until June this year, when he was replaced by Chow Tai Fook chief executive Patrick Tsang On Yip.
As well as collaborating on the developments in a joint venture, Chow Tai Fook has bought a 5 per cent shareholding in Star and has flagged an intention to substantial increase that stake.
The company will need permission from the NSW gaming regulator to boost the stake while Queensland authorities have already approved the move.
Last week the NSW Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority (ILGA) announced it would hold an inquiry to examine whether Crown Resorts should be allowed to keep its Barangaroo casino licence after revelations after James Packer agreed to sell a 20 per cent stake in Crown worth $1.7 billion to Hong Kong casino tycoon Lawrence Ho's Melco Resorts. Lawrence Ho is the son of Stanley Ho.
The NSW regulator has banned Crown from having any links to Stanley Ho as a licence condition for its new Barangaroo casino.
Justin Field, the independent MP whose questions in parliament helped prompt the public release of ILGA's conditions on Crown, said there was a legitimate question to be asked about why Mr Ho and related business entities would be banned from having links with Crown but not with Star.
He said he was also concerned that the business model developed by Star and Crown appeared to rely upon a flow of high rollers from China and "at least in part, on dirty or questionable money."
Chow Tai Fook have completed extensive probity reviews and received regulator approval in Queensland.Star spokesman
"There is scope within the Bergin Inquiry's terms to consider these Star business relationships and the 'extant and emerging risks for gaming' generally and to recommend changes needed to address these risks. I hope they will be considered," he said.
Asked if the company was concerned that the ties between Chow Tai Fook and Mr Ho might attract the attention of regulators in NSW, a spokesman for The Star Entertainment Group said: "Chow Tai Fook have completed extensive probity reviews and received regulator approval in Queensland."
A spokesman for ILGA said the regulator had not received any application for the partnership to increase its holding in Star Entertainment Group to above 10 per cent.
"As is required under NSW law, any such application would undergo stringent probity, legal and financial checks," he said.
"Under the NSW Casino Control Act, ILGA has responsibility to constantly review licensed operators and associates to ensure casinos remain free of criminal influence."

text: Home & Garden Home The 3 Layers of Housecleaning By Katherine Martinko Senior Writer University of Toronto Katherine Martinko is a writer and expert in sustainable living. She holds a degree in English Literature and History from the University of Toronto. our editorial process Twitter Twitter Katherine Martinko Updated October 11, 2018 Public Domain. MaxPixel Share Twitter Pinterest Email Home Natural Cleaning Pest Control DIY Family Green Living Thrift & Minimalism Sustainable Eating "It's so much easier to peel back one layer at a time than three layers at once." Do you ever get that feeling when you've spent a few hours cleaning the house and it looks great, but it doesn't actually feel clean? This has been happening to me a lot lately. I put stuff away, run the vacuum around, fold laundry, wipe down surfaces, and rearrange books neatly so that the immediate effect is one of cleanliness, but it never lasts long -- and part of me knows it's not actually clean. There are things I ignore (under the bed) and places I dare not swish my broom (beneath the stove) and catch-alls like the top of the fridge and the kitchen junk drawer that I prefer to ignore altogether. There is so much accumulated stuff in the house that it feels like an immense task simply to prepare the house for cleaning -- you know, when the vacuum keeps sucking up Lego pieces and the broom sends Playmobil figurines flying across the room. The problem, I've realized, is that I've been cleaning only on the surface. I'm not taking the time to do anything beyond the absolute necessities, which means I never get ahead on the bigger things. A blog post by cleaning expert and author Dana White made this crystal-clear to me. She describes the "three layers of cleaning." Each of these must be peeled back, one at a time, in order to achieve a thoroughly clean house. Layer One is daily stuff. These are the dishes, the laundry, the leftover food, the bathroom smell, the post-dinner dining room floor. White writes: "It's the stuff that isn't a project. It isn't a stop-everything-while-we-tackle-this task. It's a habit. Just a habit. It's the most important layer. If I keep up with this layer, it doesn't even feel like a layer." Layer two is decluttering. This is the stuff that doesn't have a place, or is removed from its place and must be returned to it. For me, on a weekly basis, it's the toys and Lego and books and bits of paper strewn around the house. But on a seasonal basis, this means a bigger, more thorough decluttering of clothes that no longer fit, decor that has lost its appeal, books I'm never going to read, etc. It's the Marie Kondo-type purge. Layer three is cleaning. Actual cleaning. Real cleaning. It's pulling boxes out from under the bed and hauling furniture away from the wall and scrubbing windows to let in that fresh springtime sunlight. It's mopping the floor, scrubbing the sink, cleaning mirrors. It's the stuff that only needs to be done every week or two, or perhaps even less, but requires the daily tasks and decluttering to be completed first. It helps to think about cleaning in this way because then I don't beat myself up for not achieving the second and third layers, if it's only the first layer that I have time for. As White says, "It's so much easier to peel back one layer at a time than three layers at once." Thinking of cleaning in this way also motivates me to get to those deeper layers, once I have more time on my hands. How do you approach cleaning your house? Is thinking of it in terms of layers helpful?

ASICS GEL-Nimbus 20 delivers a soft but responsive ride to neutral runners. ASICS GEL-Quantum 360 4 provides a personalized and secure fit in a flashy-looking package...
[Disclosure: As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Note that some links in this article are affiliate links.]
The ASICS GEL-Nimbus 20 and the ASICS GEL-Quantum 360 4 are neutral cushioning running shoes for underpronators to neutral runners who do not need much stability and support.
The uppers of the ASICS GEL-Nimbus 20 and the ASICS GEL-Quantum 360 4 differ quite a bit in construction.
The ASICS GEL-Quantum 360 4 has a woven upper and eyelets around the midfoot through which you can pass the laces to customize and secure the fit of the upper around your feet.
The ASICS GEL-Nimbus 20 has a more traditional upper with mesh and 3D-printed overlays.
The ASICS logo keeps the mesh in place around the midfoot and so do the overlays, which look more like stitches in the upper.
The overlays also run on the toe box and at the front of the ASICS GEL-Nimbus 20, and because the mesh also provides structure and lightweight support, the fit of the ASICS GEL-Nimbus 20 might feel close to foot.
The ASICS GEL-Quantum 360 4 does not come with any overlays on its toe box, which should wrap your foot while still providing plenty of room and comfort to bunions.
Both running shoes come with an external heel counter at the back to lock your heel in.
The heel counters look different but have a similar function, although the ASICS GEL-Quantum 360 4 tends to cover the area around the heel better than the ASICS GEL-Nimbus 20 does.
All in all, you should be able to get a similar amount of support and comfort from the uppers of these two running shoes, but the upper of the ASICS GEL-Quantum 360 4 might be a bit more customizable than that of the ASICS GEL-Nimbus 20.
The ASICS GEL-Nimbus 20 and the ASICS GEL-Quantum 360 4 make use of different types of midsole material.
The ASICS GEL-Nimbus 20 makes use of two types of midsole material and its midsole consists of two layers of foam, with the top layer being the softer one and the bottom layer being the responsive and durable one.
In addition, the midsole of the ASICS GEL-Nimbus 20 comes with GEL cushioning in the forefoot and in the heel for extra softness.
The ASICS GEL-Quantum 360 4 has one main layer of foam that is supposed to be lighter than ASICS' standard EVA midsoles and deliver enhanced cushioning and durability.
Then for more softness, the ASICS GEL-Quantum 360 4 comes with 360 degrees of GEL cushioning around its midsole.
The ASICS GEL-Quantum 360 typically delivers an overall soft ride with its midsole setup, and the ASICS GEL-Quantum 360 4 is described by ASICS as being responsive and spring loaded.
The ASICS GEL-Nimbus 20 also delivers a soft ride with its midsole setup and women get extra softness under their heels due to the extra 3 mm of height that the ASICS GEL-Nimbus 20 has to take stress off the Achilles tendon of women.
The heel of the men's running shoe is more moderately cushioned but still cushy enough to make the ride feel overall soft.
The amount of cushiness delivered by the ASICS GEL-Nimbus 20 and the ASICS GEL-Quantum 360 4 is comparable, so both running shoes should feel overall soft under your foot.
Neither the ASICS GEL-Quantum 360 4 nor the ASICS GEL-Nimbus 20 is meant to provide pronation control, so they do not come with a support system.
However, they both come with midfoot shanks, but these differ under the two running shoes.
The midfoot shank of the ASICS GEL-Nimbus 20 consists of two pieces that are not connected to each other under the midfoot but that still deliver midfoot support.
The ASICS GEL-Quantum 360 4 also has a midfoot shank that is located directly under the midfoot and that spans a web to provide support.
Neither running shoe scores very high in stability, but the ASICS GEL-Nimbus 20 is generally considered to be more stable than the ASICS GEL-Quantum 360 4.
The rubber outsole of the ASICS GEL-Nimbus 20 differs from that of the ASICS GEL-Quantum 360 4 in layout, with the ASICS GEL-Nimbus 20 having more flex grooves that run from side to side and the ASICS GEL-Quantum 360 4 displaying more segmentation in the GEL around the midsole and on the outer edge of the outsole.
The ASICS GEL-Nimbus 20 has been found to be stiff for both genders, and the lack of many deep flex grooves going from side to side in the outsole of the ASICS GEL-Quantum 360 4 could make it feel stiff to some runners.
The women's version of the ASICS GEL-Nimbus 20 weighs approximately 8.8 oz (249 grams), and the ASICS GEL-Quantum 360 4 for women weighs 10.6 oz (301 grams).
The men's versions of the shoes weigh 10.7 oz (303 grams) and 12.8 oz (363 grams), respectively, with the ASICS GEL-Nimbus 20 being the lighter one.
The ASICS GEL-Quantum 360 4 is quite heavy for a neutral running shoe, but in return you get a soft ride and a flashy-looking running shoe that provides a customizable and secure fit.
The ASICS GEL-Nimbus 20 is a more luxurious running shoe that is good for long and comfortable runs.
If you are a neutral runner who is looking for a soft ride, you could choose either running shoe. The decision-making point might lie in whether you can deal with the weight of the ASICS GEL-Quantum 360 4 or not.

Vans revealed plans for a collection of its signature footwear silhouettes in collaboration with NASA earlier this year, and has just confirmed the collection's release date for November 2. Done with a very space-age aesthetic, the line will be centered around Vans silhouettes Old Skool, Sk8-Hi MTE and Slip-On and will showcase the NASA logo at the lateral, over the wording "John F. Kennedy Space Center."
To get even more into the retro NASA design style, Vans incorporated space travel-related wording such as "Shuttle" and "Mission" embroidered onto tabs at the tongue of the sneaker, and removable American flag patches at the back.
Vans most recently collaborated with Disney in celebration of the 90th birthday of the iconic Mickey Mouse character. This collection included sneakers and graphic T-shirts, all made in partnership with four artists. NASA is currently celebrating its 60th anniversary and has recently released three product collaborations, the most recent a limited-edition watch made with Hong Kong-based design company Anicorn. This summer, NASA launched a capsule clothing collection with Heron Preston as well as a sneaker with Mercer Amsterdam.
The upcoming collaborative sneaker collection between Vans and NASA will retail via Footlocker.

Worthless Idols!
by Peter Horrobin
2 August 2016« Previous Day | Next Day »
An idol is anything that we are attached to, devoted to or addicted to that becomes a substitute for a true relationship with the living God. The story of Jonah is one that always captures our attention, but our Scripture for the day is one of the key verses in the whole of this short book.
The heart of the story is whether or not Jonah was willing to be obedient to God. He had been asked by God to go and preach to the evil people of Ninevah, but in his rebellion against the word of the Lord, Jonah set off in the other direction and boarded a ship to Tarshish. When a terrible storm threatened the safety of everyone on board, the crew threw Jonah, the man who was running away from God, overboard.
And in the belly of the fish that swallowed him, Jonah came to his senses and spoke out to God the profound words we are reading today, "those who cling to worthless idols forfeit the grace that could be theirs." A worthless idol is anything which turns our heart from God and makes us run away from Him. Many are the circumstances that people can end up in as a result of disobedience and running away from what people know to be right and true. Even seemingly innocent things can be a deceptive idol if they rob us of the time which we should be spending in coming close to God.
I'm conscious as I write this Seed that there may be many people who are suddenly being convicted of the sin of idolatry – never having seen before how idolatry is not necessarily bowing down to a false image – but filling our thoughts, words and deeds, the sum total of which amounts to running away from the Lord.
The good news of the Jonah story is that in his precarious condition, he quickly repented. The result Was that God gave Jonah a second chance to do what God had asked him to do in the first place. God is a gracious God – He longs to give us a second chance, but sometimes He allows very difficult things to happen in our lives to get our attention, so that we may turn once again to Him.
Prayer: Thank You, Lord, that You helped Jonah to see the truth of his situation and gave Him a second chance. Help me, Lord, to examine my own heart and see if there is anything that I have made an idol of, so that I may, through repentance and a change of heart, experience once again the grace of God. In Jesus's name, Amen.

We love a good dram at Captive Minds. The office preference is to drink it either straight up or with a touch of water (to release the aroma, of course!). Thanks to the award winning campaign from Suntory, our new method of drinking whisky is over ice shaped like Michaelango's David.
The agency behind the campaign, TBWA Hakuhodo, utilized CNC milling technology to carve ice cubes into highly detailed iconic forms. These ranged from the Statue of Liberty to Mario to Godzilla. The result is a set of stunning imagery that is so tempting it would appeal to even the non-whisky drinker.
It really is a beautiful marriage of technology and craftsmanship that compliments their current positioning – "The Art of Japanese Whisky".

A COLLECTION of 50 classic angling reference books used by Manchester's 19th Century industrial barons is expected to raise é15,000 at auction.
The private library was put together by members of the Manchester Angling Association which was founded by seven keen anglers in 1878.
The association had many of the city's wealthiest businessmen, including shipping magnate John Samuel Swire, among its members. They helped to buy a collection of the best angling reference books available. The association also worked with Manchester Corporation to rear trout so they could pursue the art of fly-fishing.
The library includes a rare edition of T. E. Pritt's The Book of the Grayling, with a signed dedication to the Manchester Angling Association, dated March 20 1888.There is also a copy of the classic Compleat Angler by Izaak Walton and a leather-bound volume entitled The Natural Trout Fly and its Imitation with illustrations.
Bonhams auctioneers say the collection provides an opportunity to own some of the classic texts in angling history. It has attracted a lot of interest from American buyers.
Angling consultant Charles Kewley said: "It's an angling time capsule. This library is probably the most important thing in the whole auction."
The sale is in Honiton, Devon, on October 15.

First week with Teifa
"Feral" might be a strong word to use to describe Teifa, but I feel justified: she'd been on her own in the countryside on the outskirts of town for at least 6 weeks before we caught her. She's about 6 months old.
The woman had been watching the border collie puppy for weeks, leaving food out and slowly earning her trust to the point where, if the woman sat quietly on the ground, the girl would lay next to her to be petted. She said the pup seemed to want attention really badly, but was terrified at the same time. The woman wanted to keep her but already had four dogs of her own, two of which were ancient small breed dogs with health problems who couldn't handle a border collie puppy's play style. She knew that, even if she could catch the dog, taking her to the regional pound would be a death sentence for such a shy creature. There is no "dog catcher" or animal control where we live. I agreed to take her.
Day one:
I came armed with lunch meat and a slip lead. She had coaxed the pup into the house. When I came in, the pup was trotting back and forth nervously in front of the sliding glass door in the woman's dining room. When we walked in the room she froze, then ran to the corner. I turned away and sat on the kitchen floor, tossing a bit of lunch meat to her without looking. The woman followed my lead and sat down and we chatted quietly for about 10 minutes. But it only took about 3 of those minutes for the pup to figure out where the lunch meat was coming from. She'd dart forward, take a bite of lunch meat, then retreat 5 feet to eat it and think about things a minute before darting forward again. If either one of us moved too quickly, she'd run to the corner of the room.
I knew it was going to go well when she started taking meat from my hand almost immediately. After about 15 minutes, she let me rub her chest. As she got more comfortable with my presence, she started asking the woman for attention: running to her and wagging her tail and even play bowing, but she was too skittish to actually let us touch her very much.
Finally, the woman slipped the leash over her head. I decided to make a clean break and not let the pup think about the leash too much. I pulled her toward me and grabbed her in a firm hug and stood up. She struggled against the leash, but once I had ahold of her she froze (and urinated on my shirt a little). I carried her to the car and got in the back seat. I held her while my husband drove us home and she never struggled or made a sound.
I carried her to the bedroom/office and released her. We played the same game as in the kitchen: I sat on the floor and didn't look at her but kept offering her lunch meat. She didn't seem at all traumatized by my manhandling or the car ride, and was more than happy to take food from me. After about 30 minutes, she let me touch her head and ears and was rolling over to have me rub her belly. Still, any sudden moves and she leap up and run to the corner of the room, and she was very uncomfortable if I was standing up and wouldn't approach. She urinated a few times in submission/fear.
I let Sammy into the room. I thought her happy-go-lucky attitude and friendliness towards other dogs would help relax the pup, and it worked: Teifa watched me interact with Sammy, and something seemed to click. She would stay closer to me, and when I would call Sammy to me, Teifa would come, too.
After another 30 minutes, I let them out in the (securely fenced) yard. Teifa ran around sniffing everything, and watching what Sammy did, and darting in to me for a quick chest rub before running off again. I dragged an old blanket to the grass and took a nap in the sun. Teifa actually curled up against me for a few minutes. Eventually, I had Tom introduce himself to her. She urinated at the sight of him (an effect he has on many dogs). But after a few minutes of him laying on the floor, she was coming up, wiggling her happy/nervous wiggle for pets. At bed time I took a risk and let her loose in the bedroom. No accidents.
Day two:
I took her to work to get a health exam and vaccinations because I'm paranoid about parvo and don't want to wait. I took Sammy along to help her relax. I carried her everywhere because I don't want to start leash training under such stressful conditions. I got an official weight: 40.6 lbs. Oof. She took the whole thing like she did the day before: stayed frozen and peed a little. I put her and Sammy in the car for the rest of the day (with potty breaks, of course) and they didn't destroy a single seat cushion.
Day three:
I did a little leash training in the living room: put the leash on and reward with treats if she gives to pressure. She did the typical "fish on a line" routine at first, but damn is she a quick study. Within 5 minutes she understood that giving to pressure equals cookie.
Day four:
Five more minutes of leash training. No more fish on the line. Left all the dogs loose in the house with a door open to the back yard while we're both at work. No messes, nothing destroyed. Whew.
Day five: Five more minutes of leash training. Tom is still veeeery scary when he first comes in the door, but I no longer make her pee herself no matter what I do.
Day six:
She greets me very enthusiastically when I come home, including jumping up to bite at my hair (border collies are weird). I try to play with her in the yard, but she still doesn't seem to get what toys are. She's more than happy to chase Sammy around as I play with her, though. She'll stop periodically to collapse on her back at my feet for belly rubs.
Today is day 8, and she's like a different dog. She'll jump into and out of the car, comes when called (mostly), no longer pees for me (though she will for Tom), and can take a leash walk around the block without freaking out (too much). She doesn't act like a dog that was abused, she acts like she's ignorant about people. Her fears are so easily overcome its wonderfully ridiculous. She has yet to have a single accident in the house. Even though I do things your not supposed to, like leave her loose in the bedroom at night (we haven't done any crate training at all yet).
Before you ask, yes, I considered keeping her. But no, while I love being over run with border collies, she'll make someone else a really nice dog pretty soon.

Awesome! I really enjoyed this post. Two questions. Where did the name come from? Also, how do her and Zelda get along?

- Suzanne said...
1) Tom named her after a video game character, don't ask me which.
2) Since Teifa is extremely submissive, and Zelda is bossy, they get along pretty good. When they first met each other, all Zelda had to do was give her a hard stare from 10 feet away and Teifa threw herself on the ground, exposed her belly and (you guessed it), peed.
3) I'm really glad she's getting over the whole "pee at everything" stage.

The Cheney High School wrestling team will be taking five wrestlers to the Mat Classic XXIX at the Tacoma Dome this weekend.

that is a cool funky 50s lamp!
reminds me of that incredible trailer, the Geographic, http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2015/08/1960-geographic-designed-by-race-car.html and that seems to be because the same company made them.
one of the most beautiful designs I've seen, the Geographic:
David H. Holmes, maker of Holiday House trailers, had envisioned the first luxurious Trailer for the Rich with amenities of a fine home on the road. The unique "Model X" is fully protected by patent pending. Holmes retained Lawrence McCane of the Industrial Design Affiliates, Beverly Hills, California, who has achieved national prominence for his brilliant work in industrial design, and who had been one key to Holmes' development of the aluminum - plywood line of Holiday House trailers.
To help Holmes bring the new exciting fiber glassed trailer to realization, McCane enlisted Robert B. Brophy, one of the nations few experts in missile and satellite fiberglass, to engineer and produce molds for this assembly-line fiber glassed honeycomb prototype model which, as McCane describes it is "ten years ahead of the trailer industry in concept, design and construction principles."
In 1958 and during the preliminary design phase, this Trailer was named "Star Craft". Later and during its marketing it was referred to as Model "X", and finally it was introduced to the public as "Geographic".
In February of 1960, the completed Showroom Model of "GEOGRAPHIC", one of the five-manufactured Fiberglass Coach Trailers was shipped to Van Nuys, California to be introduced to the world during one of the largest trailer shows in the country.
It is assumed that due to its expensive price tag of $8,495 (In 1960 you could buy a house for $13,000), no units were sold and finally in 1962 the Showroom Model was sold to Joyce Woodin, the Showroom manager for $5,000.
She kept all the original sales; service receipts and brochures that came with this magnificent trailer as well as a complete set of Mel Mac dishes. After her death, in February 1995, her sister sold the trailer for a few hundred Dollars to a residence of Green Valley, California. http://www.americanrvcompany.com/Vintage-Trailer-of-the-Week--Holiday-House-Geographic_b_48.html

Super Bob mentioned in the comments that the bottom photo, the Geographic that I posted in 2015, was a Holiday House special build. So I looked over in Facebook, and there is a page for Holiday House trailers https://www.facebook.com/HolidayHouseTrailers/ enjoy!

Foolish Hearts by Emma Mills
Published by Henry Holt and Co. (BYR) on December 5th 2017
Genres: Contemporary, Romance, Young Adult
Length: 320 pages Source: OwlCrate
Goodreads • Amazon • Barnes & Noble • Book Depository • IndieBound
A contemporary novel about a girl whose high school production of A Midsummer Night's Dream leads her to new friends—and maybe even new love.
The day of the last party of the summer, Claudia overhears a conversation she wasn't supposed to. Now on the wrong side of one of the meanest girls in school, Claudia doesn't know what to expect when the two are paired up to write a paper—let alone when they're both forced to try out for the school production of A Midsummer Night's Dream.
But mandatory participation has its upsides—namely, an unexpected friendship, a boy band obsession, and a guy with the best dimpled smile Claudia's ever seen. As Claudia's world starts to expand, she finds that maybe there are some things worth sticking her neck out for.
Claudia is perfectly happy in her bubble of existence. She had good grades, gets along well enough with her classmates and great with her siblings. She has one bosom friend, and that's all she needs in the world. Is she happy? As happy as anyone is, she supposes. Mostly she just tries not to think about things and be relatively invisible.
Which is why it's so weird that suddenly Gideon Prewitt is super interested in talking to her, asking her to go to parties, and to sit with his friends at rehearsals. And it's so weird suddenly having to go hang out with Iris Huang (who's a sarcastic grump) to do extra credit on school projects. Suddenly she's into a new boy band and going to the carnival and WHAT IS HAPPENING TO HER LIFE.
This is not a book about a girl who was an introvert and learns that being an extrovert is the meaning of happiness, so I'm going to kill that right there.
Claudia is just… Claudia. She likes play Battle Quest and gets Shakespeare and own 70% of a car she gets to use 40% of the time (or something like that). She pushes herself into some uncomfortable situations and she doesn't magically find herself happy. In fact, there's a WHOLE LOT of uncomfortable and awkward going on around Claudia, and that's just her vibe. She's Claudia.
I was really hesitant going into this one. Foolish Hearts wasn't on my radar AT ALL before it arrived in my OwlCrate box. I'd never even heard of the author. And it's YA Contemporary Romance. That is not my genre at all. Instead of trudging though another boy-meets-girl book, Foolish Hearts was perfect. It was a slice of life, with a bunch of different characters in different stages of different kinds of relationships. I love all of the characters for very different reasons, and reading this at the end of 2017 which was a trainwreck of a year of me personally, this was just the right book.
Readers looking for FRIENDSHIPS in books instead of endless ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS… you won't be disappointed here. Claudia and her best-friend-since-forever Zoe are fine, but I really enjoyed watching Claudia and Iris' friendship. Noah and Gideon's was also really good.
My favorite relationship, though? Claudia and her older sister Julia. They're only together in person for one brief scene, but it was so perfectly real-to-life and just… great. One of my favorite scenes in the whole book.
Also, as someone who has spent years obsessing over MMORPGs, I adored the Battle Quest scenes. They made me laugh out loud, especially Gideon's bits.
Alright, alright, I'm sorry… this review is getting a bit lengthy. Mostly I just want to encourage you to read this book. It was light, but it was real and interesting and the characters are fantastic and there's some really great conversations in it. I loved it.
|The Breakdown
|Personal Enjoyment
Foolish Hearts goes to the Gallery!
When I started reading this book, before I even read the first sentence, I remember looking at it and sighing and saying to myself "well, at least I can read this quickly and clean something off my shelf!"
I adore this book. It made me laugh and made me cry (Julia = relatable). I stayed up past midnight reading it which is a wicked rare thing for me to do. It was such a great parallel to A Midsummer Night's Dream in exploration of character and intent. Not only am I keeping this one, but I'm going to seek out more of Emma Mills' books and see what other stories she has to share.

Transportation : Personal Vehicles (Road condition is good for any vehicle)
Duration : 3 Hours
We were already at Kukuleganga when we got to know that Pahiyangala is few kilometers away. So we thought why not to visit the place even though the time was limited. We started our journey from Kukuleganga around 4.30 pm and used two private vehicles to reach the place. The road was good and had nothing to complain about.
There is a long stone stairway to the cave which starts after the Pahiyangala monastery. At the end of the stairs, there is a old looking "Vihara manditaya" which was build in the last century. It was earlier a small one and had been modified removing its roof and exdending to cover the statue of reclining Lord Buddha. The cave top covers the "Vihara mandiraya" from rain and sun. We Spent sometime there looking the wall paintings (Which were done recently) and took a quick visit to the small cave behind the statue of lord Buddha which was the home for couple hundred bats.
Then we went to the main Cave, which has been the shelter for ancient humans and Dr. Shiran Deraniyagala was the first to discover the burials in 1968 and there are few other Bones discovered later. The Carbon dating indicates that this has been buried within 4,750 to 33,000 years ago. There were few animal skulls discovered, displayed in a side of the cave. One can say there is not much to see in this place, but it is wonderful to see the natural shape and location of the cave and understand why ancient humans select that place. It is said that the famous traveler , Fa-Hsien Monk has been stayed here during his visit to Sri Lanka. The name of the place is also a evolution of the word Fa-Hsien –>Pahiyan

One Direction member, Niall Horan, opens up about his mild obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in an interview with Zeit Magazine.
Now, on his solo press tour for his album Flicker, Niall shares that he still has tics on stage that come from his OCD.
"I have a mild obsessive-compulsive disorder, that's what doctors call it." When asked to describe what his tics were, he said, "I feel like I have to do things in a certain way. For example, if I have a burger with chips on my plate, I always have to eat the chips first and only pick up the burger at the very end."
Of course, that was merely an example of what he has to go through. It may not be bothersome to most people, but there are different ways his 'tics' come out.
"There are other tics in my life. Even when I go on stage, I only have one fixed sequence. I always have to sing in the same order, move and so on."
What happens when that doesn't go his way?
"I have to do things very quickly, otherwise, I'll get nervous very quickly," Niall said.
Living with mild OCD
Niall still deals with his mild OCD, but it doesn't hinder him from doing what he loves.
Back when he was still in school, he says that his classmates didn't like him for his tics. They also found him strange for wanting to become a musician when everyone else was interested in sports.
"They said to me, 'oh that won't work.'" But with Niall's growing career in music, he also found people around him that understood him.
"I noticed: I may not be like most normal people – but most musicians are like me! Some have much stronger tics than I do. A friend has to, for example, always exactly do things three times when he washes his hand: soap three times, rinse three times, dry off three times."
Niall is fortunate that his mental health disorder isn't as bad as other people, but that doesn't mean that he doesn't struggle with it. When someone has OCD, they get caught in cycles or urges that may trigger distress and anxiety.
When asked how Niall is doing today with his tics, he said: "I live with them and they're mine no matter what others think about it. I'm just like – what the hell!"

A week of blog posts without pix of wildflowers?
That will never do!
Guess it's time to rectify the situation.
I snapped these photos this week in Tom Bass Park.
There were so many more wildflowers blooming than when I last shot there in mid-March. Color was everywhere you looked.

Nearly 20 SCAD industrial design majors spent six months under the direction of SCAD Professor Jesus Rojas and Kids II product development vice president Steve Burns in developing toy and gear concepts for the company.
Students conducted market research, created more than 200 initial design concepts and honed their ideas through collaborative meetings with Kids II's senior design team.
Kids II ultimately selected two final design concepts, which the company is considering for further development and which could ultimately appear on store shelves in more than 65 countries.

| 15.4°C Dublin
An Xtra-vision manager who tapped into customers' dormant accounts and stole more than €10,000 by giving himself their credit, has avoided jail.
Noel Carroll (27) took the credit by creating a gift card for the amounts, which he could later deposit in a savings account and withdraw as cash.
He also issued himself vouchers which he used to buy items including a television, laptop and computer in different Xtra-vision branches.
Det Gda Finola Heeney told Diarmuid Collins, prosecuting, that Carroll was caught when an auditor for the company noticed that a number of refunds from dormant accounts had been grouped together in batches, which was considered an unusual practice.
Further investigation showed that Carroll processed each of the transactions.
It was initially thought that he had stolen just under €2,000, but the company later discovered that €10,025 had been taken from various accounts.
Carroll, of Graham Court, Ballynerrin, Wicklow town, pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to theft at various branches of Xtra-vision on dates between December 15, 2013, and June 10, 2015.
The married father-of-two has no previous convictions.
He has since repaid the company in full with the help of a loan from his parents.
Judge Cormac Quinn said Carroll had tapped into these accounts and refunded the cash for his own use.
He said it was a "serious breach of trust" but acknowledged that he had made full admissions and was previously of good character.
He sentenced Carroll to 18 months in prison, which he suspended in full on strict conditions after noting his low risk of re-offending.

Dere Street Homes are opening up the final luxury home conversion at their prestigious Longhirst Hall development in a special Open Weekend May 18th and 19th with refreshments available for visitors.
The Orangery offers a three level, five bedroom period home of staggering proportions and includes a large gym, media room and home office located in the property's lower ground floor. The impressive ground floor features beautifully restored oak parquet floors throughout. The bespoke 31' by 30' open plan kitchen with stunning central island unit leads to the living/dining area allowing you to be together whether cooking or relaxing. The Orangery room itself is perfectly placed overlooking the garden and offers an exceptional space for entertaining. Two large double bedrooms, each with en-suite facilities complete the ground floor. On the first floor, the magnificent master bedroom, spacious by any standards at some 31' by 18', features an ornate barrel-vaulted ceiling complete with the stunning original cornice, full en-suite facilities and a separate dressing area and is located on the first floor together with two additional double bedrooms.
Surrounded by mature woodlands and the landscaped lawns of the original Hall, the development offers residents the perfect location to enjoy the rural lifestyle. Located off the B1337 road, just a few minutes away from the beautiful Northumberland coastline and the new Morpeth Bypass, Longhirst is close enough to links to the new road to allow easy commuting to Tyneside and beyond, whilst being far enough away to retain its truly rural setting.
The original Hall dates back to 1828 when the Lawson family commissioned John Dobson to build their country residence – the same architect who designed Newcastle's famous Grey Street and some of the region's most elegant buildings – and has been described as his finest classical design.
Dere Street Homes' Development Sales Manager, Joan O'Connor, commented, "This home really has to be seen to be appreciated and is the final conversion of the original Hall which has now been restored and converted into five very large luxurious properties. The Orangery has some truly unique period features as well as the gym and media room, not mentioning the truly enormous living space it offers. There's been a lot of interest so the Open Weekend allows visitors to view this superb home without an appointment."
The Orangery is released for sale at £825,000.
With all the two storey townhouses now sold, the only other properties at Longhirst are the apartments ranging from one bedroom to three bedroom designs from £149,500 to £289,500.
Full details are available from Joan O'Connor, Development Sales Manager, Thursday to Monday 10.00am to 5.00pm on 01670 791825 or www.derestreethomes.co.uk. Development Post Code NE61 3NA.

Tasty winter menus, cool World Cup pop-up bars, Sandton's delicious new Greek restaurant, a house for Blues and gourmet street grub in Maboneng, and a Mexican bar and grill on its way to 44 Stanley. Joburg's restaurant scene is ever-changing and there's always plenty of new places to try out. In this edition of our restaurant blog we bring you:
Delicious winter warmers on the menu at Clico Restaurant
Clico Restaurant at Rosebank's charming Clico boutique hotel has launched a delicious new winter menu centred around warming comfort food like slow roasts, deep marinades and braised stew. Ingredients are farm-fresh with Chef Marnus Scholly and his team having sourced the best of local produce. Clico is a great spot for an intimate lunch or dinner, or a special occasion. Tucked into a Rosebank side street it's a tranquil refuge from the busy suburb. On the menu is unfussy fine dining with innovative wine pairings, or choose from the a la carte dishes. Scholly has been lovingly slaving in the kitchen over the past few months perfecting the technique of fermentation to bring extra flavour and complexity to his dishes. Highlights of the new menu include a superb oxtail tortellini with Parmesan cream, a richly delicious butternut gnocchi served in pureed butternut with flavourful mushrooms, a beautifully presented salmon gravlax served with winter vegetables (pictured top) and a slow roasted marinated braised lamb shoulder served with a rich beetroot jus, declared by one critic we shared a table with as one of the top "lamb experiences" of her life. Read more about Clico Restaurant here.
Nikos Greek restaurant opens in Sandton
The latest addition to Sandton's stylish Alice Lane Precinct is Nikos, a casual and super friendly Greek cafe-restaurant with a terrace looking out onto Sandton's often gridlocked streets. In easy walking distance from Sandton City and Nelson Mandela Square, Nikos offers up an abundance of tasty items that include well-made Greek classics like flavourful meze, souvlaki and seafood grilled over coals. Try the impressive-looking roasted cauliflower (even though it takes a little longer to prepare, the wait is worth it).
44 Stanley's new Mexican bar and grill
The Stanley Beer Yard in 44 Stanley has a whole new look and even a new name . . . Calexico. The trailblazing dedicated craft beer garden takes its new inspiration from the American border city Calexico. On the menu expect a flavourful blend of southern Californian and Mexican influences and on the stereo the very finest all-vinyl playlists with a mix of feel-good Americana, Indie, country, folk, Latin rock, reggae and other classic chillaxed sounds. The grand official launch party for the all-new 'vinyl lounge, bar and grill' is set for the end of June. We'll keep you posted, or follow them on Facebook at Calexico.
Watching the World Cup in Joburg
The FIFA World Cup 2018 is finally here and as football fever has gradually taken over the city there are plenty of venues promising to host special pop-up bars and events for fans of the beautiful game. In addition to Joburg's rich collection of much-loved old-fashioned pubs, this month also look out for a Russian vodka-themed cocktail bar at Blank Bar in Parkhurst, a 'soccer village' in Sandton and the always lively Belgian House pop-up hosted by the Belgian Chamber of Commerce. Read our Ultimate Guide to Where to Watch the World Cup in Joburg for the full picture.
Radisson Blu Hotel Sandton unveils its new-look Vivace Restaurant
High above the busy streets of Sandton Central, the Radisson Blu Hotel Sandton's Vivace restaurant on the hotel's 13th floor has a new and updated look. Decked out in subtle teal, grey, earthy red brick and walnut wood, the new restaurant and lounge with its killer views looks out over the ever-expanding Sandton cityscape and the expansive greenery of the suburbs. On the menu is a classic-contemporary mix of steaks, line fish, salads and Italian-inspired appetizers like the delicious arancini pictured above. Find out more here.
Street food on the menu at The Blues House in Maboneng
Blues fans will delight in the opening of the Sunday pop-up The Blues House, in a courtyard in Maboneng. The place for purists, you can expect old-school, hard-core blues for those who know their BB King from their Albert King. Resident band is The Smoke Train and there are plans to incorporate the first Blues DJ act. On the menu is gourmet street food that includes ribs, burgers, and gourmet vegetarian sandwiches. A pure bar serves alcohol and preservative-free drinks and for those not so intent on purity there's beers, gins, vodka, bourbons and whiskey on offer.

What does dating online effect to the society Married sex chat australia
This is why online dating frequently results in people meeting up in the real world, because face to face communication and contact is the only way to truly satisfy your needs.
When you communicate virtually or by phone, your communication is much more limited than it is when you communicate in person.
