Sharktalkers Day!

You and your wife are marine biologists who make money by sailing around the Caribbean waters of island resorts and sending roving sharks out to sea by pummeling them with sound waves below 1,000 hertz, irritating them enough to distract them from all the kicking legs by the shoreline.

Yesterday your wife found little umbrellas in your bed and she knew that you had slept with one of the 19 year old Daiquiristas at the swim-up bar. She just wants to know which one, but you're denying everything. Today, you're going to feel a starboard bump on your boat. You're going to look down and see about a dozen sharks circling close to you. Your wife will have changed her sound frequency and told them the whole story. They always liked her better. And now they're out to avenge her honor.

"Her name!" your wife will shout from her boat.

"Call them off Suzanne! This is not how you want to do this!"

"Her name!" she'll call again. "They're growing impatient."

"Goddammit!" you'll shout. Before you can say more a shark will fling his nose up onto your boat and grab the cuff of your jeans in his teeth. You'll hear your wife scream. Then things will happen fast.

Happy Sharktalkers Day!

TOTW: Ella Lou Turkish Towels (& Giveaway)

Updated with winners, below!
A while back, my cousin, Erica introduced me to her dear friend Lindsay and her new Ella Lou pestamels, which have since replaced the Aden + Anais swaddle blankets the girls lived in their first few months. I still love me some A + A but was in need of something heartier for wrapping, draping and covering, and Lindsay's (GORGEOUS) light-weight blanket/towel/all of the above(s) were exactly what I was looking to get into. (We also also have one of her pillows which sits on our bed and is my favorite.)
Here are some pictures I stole from Lindsay's website. How perfectly summery are these bad boys? I hadn't even realized I could use them as beach towels until like five minutes ago. Gorgeous.
essential2 essential4
Not only can they be used to swaddle babies (and adults) they're also ideal for beach, pool, or as couch throws. AND on cooler days, you can use them as... scarves!
Hello, I am wearing a blanket as a scarf and I like it! (Bo's unsure?)
Bo & Revi & Moss Green Herringbone IMG_2792
Not only are all of Ella Lou's products high quality gorgeous, they're also hand-crafted, sustainable, not to mention charitable. You can read more about Ella Lou's social mission, here, check Ella Lou's blog here and shop the various pestamels and pillows here.
Lindsay has generously offered to give away one pillow and one blanket to two lucky readers. To win? Tell me something beautiful. I'll choose two winners via next Thursday, May 10th. Don't forget to include your contact information!

Lindsay is going to be at Mom 2.0 this weekend and doesn't know anybody so if you're going you should totally go find her, hug her and be her friend forever. She's 100% artisan-crafted wonderful.

Updated: Congrats to commenters #201 Janae Nicole and #259 Candice Peat. And thanks to everyone for participating! Much love!

Rachel | 10:30 AM

My very VERY feisty 3-year-old was being a pill. Truly. I couldn't get her to do anything I asked. I was about to resort to physical restraint (and maybe a martini) when she snuggled up to me and said, 'Mommy, I love you so much.'

Emotional manipulation (I totes fell for it!), but also very beautiful.

Anika | 10:36 AM

Watching my children love each and enjoy each other is beautiful!

Adina | 10:37 AM

My son (Sam) is five months old today, and we are breathing a tentative sigh of relief, as his sister Talya died of what's been labeled SIDS, and he's out of the elevated risk window. We are still and will always be devastated by Talya's loss, but are simultaneously basking in the beauty of her life, and the existence of her baby brother, who is equally beautiful.

aw | 10:37 AM

my almost-6-week-old baby girl smiled at me yesterday!

Kim | 10:37 AM

This is probably cheesy but:

My boyfriend of four years (and long distance for 3.75) is moving to Cincinnati in ONE MONTH to be with me. It has been a long time coming and I'm so excited to start our journey in the same city. It's almost like the beginning all over again--I have butterflies about it! :) Can't wait.

Sarah | 10:39 AM

Beautiful? My husband has arranged for me to meet an elephant for my first mother's day. A real, live elephant. Insert Kristen Bell sloth meltdown here.

laurel | 10:41 AM

Something beautiful: last week when you wrote about being so tired b/c the twins won't sleep, someone in the comments suggested a book (12 hours sleep at 12 weeks). I ordered the book, thanked the Lord for a plan, and am hopeful that maybe my twins will be sleeping through the night within the week. That will be very, very beautiful!!

KellyGray | 10:43 AM

I asked my now 5 year old, if she remembered being in my belly. She proudly replied "yes". When I asked her what it was like in there, she answered "It was like a beautiful cave filled with diamonds!"

I like to think that true :)

Linda | 10:45 AM

Something beautiful? My 26 year old son joining the Navy after fighting drug addiction. 6 months in the Navy and he is a success story to beat all. He is happy, healthy and at the top of his class. He's a section leader, hosts "movie nights" as a sober alternative and does as much volunteer work as he can to become, in his words "a better me".

And his words to me? "thank you for not giving up on me, Mama."

glenda | 10:45 AM

something daughter was born on mother's forever friend...

IamMyKids'Mom | 10:45 AM

Something beautiful: I feel blah today and can't think of anything. My boys are with their dads and I feel a little meloncholy. But I know it will pass, and I loved reading everyone else's beautifuls.

Martha | 10:46 AM

The spring weather is beautiful--especially blossoms on trees, tulips in bloom, and the smell of spring in the air.

It's beautiful when people really notice each other. Not just walk/drive/push by, but really take the time to appreciate the people who are around us.

Betsy | 10:48 AM

I was just this morning looking around the web at Turkish towels. Is the universe trying to tell me that I need to get some?

Something beautiful...itty bitty strawberries ripening in my backyard. My favorite season is coming - strawberry season!

Watching my husband with a child I work with who has autism- his patience and intuitive nature with children makes me so excited to have a family with him.

Anonymous | 10:55 AM

Yesterday, in the middle of hustle and bustle of trying to clean up the house/cook dinner/organize bills/dishes/laundry, I overheard my 3 year old making my 6 month old giggle from the other room. It stopped me in my tracks and reminded me that everything else really doesn't matter.

Red Stethoscope | 10:55 AM

I know it's cliche, but sunsets are beautiful. Whenever I'm cranky or frustrated, I start going through the photos on my phone for a distraction and every time I get to a photo of a sunset, I always have to stop, because they're just so gorgeous.

Rachel | 10:56 AM

The unconditional love dogs give.

Morgan | 10:58 AM

Something beautiful happened to me while I was walking my son to school this afternoon. My 5 yr old boy and 3 yr old girl were running ahead and I was pushing the baby in the stroller behind them. The oldest two know they have to stop at the stop sign and wait for me to catch up. As they waited my daughter took the opportunity to rock a little dance in her princess dress.

An old woman flagged us down from her car and laboriously stood up to call to us over the hood of her car.

I was instantly worried that she was upset or angry about something and racked my brain over what my kids or I could have done to annoy her as we walked down the road.

Instead, she called out that she had to stop and tell me how beautiful my daughter was as she danced her way down the street. She said just looking at her doing her little dance step made her feel so happy. It was a nice surprise!

Wendy | 11:00 AM

My husband tearing up at our kids' handmade birthday cards for him this morning.

Jen | 11:01 AM

This is an easy one-my stepdaughter is flying home tonight for a long weekend-during which we will be having a family photo shoot done. At the school where I met my husband...we both worked there and my stepdaughter was a student. This school was built in 1922 and is going to be demolished this summer when they open the new one. Now we will have the three of us, our five year-old son, and photographs of the building that brought us together as a family. A memento that will last for generations. I am so excited about this I could cry!

Kate | 11:04 AM

Beautiful is my growing baby belly! katepeaslee at gmail dot com :)

Marie | 11:04 AM

These blankets are gorgeous! Something beautiful is the little herb garden that is blossoming in my window right now, reminding me that new life can come out of dirt. It's been a tough year and I'm slowly convincing myself, as the spring and summer blossom around me, that things can turn around.

elizabeth | 11:06 AM

so easy, my little girls. they are my beauties xoxoxo

Unknown | 11:07 AM

Holding my 5 week old nephew

Allison | 11:10 AM

My son having pink eye & I got to spend the last two days at home with him. Just the two of us, laughing, working on projects & cuddling in for a nap. Besides the pink eye, it has been the two best days I have had in a long time!

Mackenzie | 11:11 AM

Last night, I slept with the windows open for the first time this year. This morning, I woke up to gentle sunlight and birds chirping.

My sons face - he had cleft lip surgery at 4 mos old and now at 2 years we just had our yearly follow up appt with the plastic surgeon who said his scar looks great! (

Jan | 11:16 AM

My new baby is smiling! Also I just took her outside to calm her down and she loved it- the look in her little 7 week old eyes while peering around the sky and the beautiful green spring was amazing. also beautiful she is finally sleeping in the moby long enough for me to use the computer for a bit.

Julie | 11:16 AM

I was shopping with my three little boys and instead of being told I have a handful (which is true) a woman told me my children were such a joy. She is right!

Ainsley | 11:21 AM

Something beautiful: Your photos of your kids make me want to have more kids.

racquelwyn oceana | 11:22 AM

my husband's grandmother fell and was at death's door a couple of months ago but miraculously recovered...less than a week ago we were able to tell her about her soon-to-be first great grandchild on her 87th birthday which made her so happy. she fell again two days later and died peacefully yesterday...while it's obviously sad, we feel it's kind of beautiful that she didn't die after her first fall and got to her the news about her great-grandbaby :)

Amber S | 11:23 AM

My twin skin is beautiful. I've decided to fake it till I make it. I'm going to tell myself that I'm beautiful in this new twin postpartum body until I god damn believe it.

my something beautiful right now is seeing the scale finally reflecting all the hard work i have been putting in.

Arnebya | 11:33 AM

I was so prepared to tell you about beauty (because those blanket/towel/scarves/however else you wanna use them are gorgeous!)and then I started reading the kick-ass comments and damn...there's a lot of beauty in the tiniest things.

Ellen | 11:33 AM

My baby is 4 months old today and he is so beautiful to me!

Jessica McConnel | 11:35 AM

My children's eyes. Nothing more beautiful to me.

crazy rabid squirrel | 11:37 AM

Beautiful? I quit my job. I have 2 small children. We don't go anywhere anymore because we can't afford it. We're stretching one income. We slowed down our lives to a speed where we experience life more.

Anonymous | 11:39 AM

Wow, those look awesome! Right now my beautiful thing is that my due date is seven days away and soon I will be holding my little girl.

Katie | 11:41 AM

Something beautiful: I am 32 weeks pregnant and stuck on bedrest with the flu, and my husband stayed home all week, cancelled all other obligations, took care of me, our 4 year old and 1 year old, did all the laundry, dishes, cooking, and cleaning. (He even scrubbed the bathroom!). And he did it all with a smile. I love that man.

findingmagnolia | 11:42 AM

I'd wondered what those were when I saw them in your instagram stream. They're incredibly lovely.

So here's my something beautiful: your readers are beautiful. Ever since you posted about our sweet Elvie, we have had so many people give to us in so many ways, and there are so many kind, beautiful hearts that came to us. Last night I looked at our Amazon baby registry, and a stranger had bought us the fancy schmancy baby bottles I wanted; it was such a beautiful act of generosity that I am *still* tearing up every time I think about it. Heaven help the UPS man when he shows up with them at my door.

Gwynne | 11:43 AM

My almost one-year-old pointing at flowers, trees, birds, and airplanes, calling them all "Tee!" (tree)

Megatron | 11:44 AM

Lyssa | 11:45 AM

Beautiful: The baby on the subway who played peak-a-boo with me for 5 stops.

Hay Kay | 11:49 AM

My baby brother turned 18 a few weeks ago, and I got a phone call from him yesterday. I was a little nervous to answer, as I pretty much get calls from him only when he's done something disastrous. This time was no different. He had gotten his first tattoo! I asked him what it was, expecting something he would later regret. He suprised me by saying that he had gotten the heart and triangle symbol for adoption. The triangle represents the adoptive family, the bio family, and the child. The heart represents the love that they all have for each other. My brother was adopted by our parents when he was 9 and I was 13. I couldn't be prouder of his choice!

redheadkjn | 11:53 AM

Something beautiful: My daughter laughing on the swings in the park yesterday. There's nothing as magical as the unburdened laughter of childhood.

Tasha | 11:54 AM

my 3 year old son and 4 month old daughter have started having hug sessions. That's so beautiful.

L | 11:56 AM

It's beautiful when my infant nephew falls asleep on me. It makes me feel trustworthy. :-)

Tirzah | 11:56 AM

my life is pretty beautiful :)

Susannah | 11:57 AM

Something beautiful: my 6 year old daughter making my 11 month old son laugh which then makes her laugh so hard she pees her pants. On my bed. Which makes me laugh, and thanks to giving birth to these two laughing maniacs I almost pee when I laugh.

That is beautiful.

p.s. I know you said winner would be chosen by, but I really really love these textiles!

Rachel | 11:58 AM

Beautiful; my 2 year old looking at me last night and saying "Mummy, I love you soooooo much!" This kid floors me :-)

I just watched my grandpa take care of my grandma, his wife of 63 years, as she lived out the final stages of Alzheimer's. He committed himself to taking care of her in their home, and although she had almost none of her former self anymore, she always seemed to feel safe. It was truly beautiful watching them navigate the very last stages of their marriage.

Sara | 12:00 PM

Beautiful? The tiny girl sitting across from me excitedly blowing raspberries for my attention, and then cocking her head to the side to see if I'm watching her. I never realized how enchanting she would be.

kelly | 12:14 PM

Two weeks ago my daughter turned a year old. I wrote and told her all the things I wanted her to know here:

The gist of it? My mother always told me that I can choose the happy path or the unhappy path in life. Well, my daughter IS my Happy Path.

Even on the worst days, she is my joy. She is bigger and brighter and more full of baby giggles and love and magic than I ever could have hoped for. I am so grateful she chose me.

I am the lucky one. And that is a beautiful thing.

Melissa | 1:00 PM

My dad wasn't around a lot when we were kids - not by choice, but because he had to work about 80 hours a week to support our family so that my mom could stay home with us. He missed a lot of milestones, birthdays, the banalities of our daily lives... I never resented it, but I was always jealous of the relationships my other girlfriends had with their fathers.

I had a son almost a year ago. My dad (who has panic-attack inducing fear of hospitals) stayed in the waiting room for my 12-hour labor and delivery. My dad (who picked up the phone to call me maybe a dozen times in my adult life) now calls me or texts me every day to ask me how I'm doing and what his grandson learned today. He drives an hour to visit me every Tuesday, and whenever I visit he leaves work to spend as much time with us as possible.

At 28, I finally have the relationship with my dad that I always wanted. And it is beautiful. More beautiful than I ever could have imagined. And it feels really good to share that with someone!

At the end of the Muppets the other night, our million-th family viewing, my daughter starts sobbing. After I get her under control, she tells me that she's worried that Walter's brother is going to really miss Walter if Walter goes and lives with the Muppets. The fact that my daughter's giant loving heart was so concerned was so beautiful to me. Ridiculous, but a lovely little kernel of her beautiful, endless compassion.

I have 2 1/2 year b/g twins so beautiful changes to me as often as I change my underwear. At this instant it would be their sweet voices & vocabulary developing. Mainly when they talk to each other. When they say "Sissy" & "Brudda" it steals my heart!

My son grinning as he sits in his high chair and has his first solids.
The way blossoms stream past my living room window in the spring breeze.

While I don't know how well he was able to understand what we were saying, it fills me with peace to know that I was able to tell him that I loved him before he passed on. And being able to be there to support my family through such a difficult time was absolutely priceless. :)

Also, the towels and pillows are so gorgeous!!

Nike Oshinowo Stuns On The Cover Of Allure Magazine; Says She Sees The Face Of A 30 Year Old Anytime She Looks Into The Mirror

TV personality/Ex-beauty queen, Nike Oshinowo who is on the cover of Allure Magazine recently opened up to them on her life as a single mother, her show and other issues. Read excerpts below:

On life as a single mum:

Like everyone else, I just do the best I can. I’m constantly juggling. I constantly feel guilty. I constantly feel I should be better and should be doing a lot more with them. As a mother, it’s never ending. But I do acknowledge that I am very lucky to have a phenomenal team at home.

On if she would ever undergo plastic surgery:

It’s so easy for someone who looks like me to say NO; when every time I look in the mirror the face of a thirty-year old stares back at me. If I didn’t look like this; if I hadn’t aged so well; who knows? It’s an impossible question to answer.

On her new talk show:

It’s no secret that I love TV. I’m a very visual person. With ‘Late Night with Nike Oshinowo’, I want to bring our industry leaders, designers, political leaders and musicians – really anyone who’s influencing pop culture – closer to its public through the means of frank, candid interviews.

 On the feedback from her show:

I can never be happy with my performance. I cringe when I see myself on TV. I can’t bear to listening to the sound of my own voice but I’m told the show has been extremely well received.

Buying Booze With Bitcoins: Yes, I Took One For the Team

By Stuart Houghton on at

Bitcoin seems like a great idea, if you want to slip through the cracks of the web and into the Dark Net so you can buy drugs, guns and probably black market killer whales or alien technology from sites like Silk Road. But if you just fancied a wee cheeky pint with your friends, you were shit out of luck. UNTIL NOW.

Computer scientist-turned-publican Stephen Early has rigged his homebrewed cash register software to accept bitcoins as well as cash and card payments. You read correctly -- you can now go boozing with bitcoins. So I did. Because journalism. (Innit.)

The Pembury Tavern in Hackney is the only one of Early's chain of five pubs located in the capital and, not coincidentally, it gets the lion's share of Bitcoin action. It's a nice, airy East End pub with a good selection of speciality ales and lagers and friendly staff.

On my visit (in the name of journalism, don't forget) I bought a round for me and barman Luke, who had just knocked off his shift. He took me through the basics while his colleague pulled our pints and did the bitcoin magic at the till.

"Its so simple," says Luke. "It's a matter of two buttons to bring up the QR code. You can then just do it on your phone on screen or we can print you off a receipt with the QR code on and how much it costs in Bitcoins and pounds." Early has set his server up to calculate the exchange rate (plus a couple of per cent vigorish) twice a day based on an average of the previous few hours, so there should be no danger of the price of a pint hyper-inflating while you are on a night out.

So, it turns out buying electronic cyberbeer is practically indistinguishable from everyday pint purchasing. The only difference was that instead of handing over a tenner or your VISA card, you have to stop sexting or Instagramming the crisps or whatever, and scan a QR code using the Bitcoin wallet app on your smartphone.

Yup, not only has Early found a good use for Bitcoin, he has also managed to do the same for QR codes -- formerly a technology with literally no practical applications whatsoever. I can't be bothered googling who is in charge of the UK's digital infrastructure but whoever it is, they need to snap this guy up and give him the keys.

I'm not going to lie to you: It wasn't quite as simple as Luke made it sound. The preferred way to pay is as follows: The staff tap in your order using Early's custom till software; press the two magic buttons, and then a flatscreen monitor above the till displays the QR code. You then point your phone's camera at the screen from across the bar and Bob's your uncle.

Didn't work.

My Bitcoin wallet started the camera and I pointed it at the QR code. Nothing. I leaned closer...nowt. I leaned closer still, stretching my arm over the bar while trying not to be the fat bloke doing a Grace-Jones-style arabesque in a pub in Hackney. I could see the app trying to lock onto the corners of the QR code, but it just couldn't get a fix. Bob was not my uncle that day.

Undeterred, Luke suggested they print off the QR code so I could scan that. Nada. Same thing with the corners. Meanwhile, my beer was getting warm. Eventually, one of the bar staff took my phone and held it about two feet from the screen and it managed to read the QR code from there. Not ideal.

I tried again with another pint but had similar problems. Eventually, Stephen Early himself arrived, having been in the pub on other business. He ordered a pint of lager and paid for it with a quick flourish of his Galaxy Nexus. We decided it was probably just the slightly-scuffed lens on my knackered old Samsung GALAXY SII that was at fault.

Still, this wasn't the first problem the Pembury Tavern staff had had with Bitcoin transactions; the usual culprit being the lousy iPhone wallet,

"When you send money through it, sometimes the transaction never makes it out onto the Bitcoin network," says Early. "I've no idea what they are doing. It affects around 30 per cent of transactions but, unfortunately, there are no other Bitcoin apps for iPhone as Apple keep rejecting them."

Marketing departments of Samsung and HTC, take note. Android is statistically more likely to be able to get you pissed than iOS. You can have that one for free.

Early bought a virtual handful of Bitcoins a few years ago and was surprised to see them rocket in value during one of the many market bubbles. This piqued his interest in the alt currency enough to hack a Bitcoin module onto his till software, reasoning that there would probably be a good few people in the same position who would have spare Bitcoins they needed to spend.

Although not exactly doing a roaring trade, the Pembury has seen a steady level of trade. "We've done about £1,800 so far, over about five weeks." Not something to retire on, but not to be sniffed at, and the Bitcoin-savvy clientele seems to be growing. A Bitcoin enthusiasts group has, quite sensibly, picked the Pembury as the venue for its regular meetings and Luke says he has seen upwards of fifty Bitcoin boozers in the pub at once.

Actually converting your readies to Bitcoin is a bit of a faff in the UK, but should you find yourself with a few in your digital wallet -- perhaps as a result of some lucrative cybercrime or light gun-running -- and fancy a swift half, head to Hackney and get your drink on.

You can keep your jetpacks. I've seen the future and it has beer and pork scratchings.

Glenn McCrory and Olivier Bernard are cooking up a storm for the unemployed

cooking up a storm

The pair are delivering an employability course in Newcastle to get North East people back into work.

World champion Glenn McCrory is swapping his boxing gloves for oven gloves to help the unemployed… and has a few famous faces in his corner.

The former Cruiserweight champion has called former Newcastle United star Olivier Bernard in his challenge to get people in the North East off the dole.

The pair are delivering an employability course in catering and their first ten students are expected to enroll on Monday.

Glenn, who grew up in Stanley, County Durham, and knows all too well what it’s like to be in and out of work, said: “When I left school I didn’t have a job and I signed on the dole.

“I left school with no education or qualifications and had expectations of going down the mine but then they all closed.

“When I won the world title at 24 I was on the dole, I remember telling a TV crew that I the first thing I was doing was telling Stanley jobcentre I wouldn’t be signing on any more. Four weeks later I got a job at Sky.

“Olivier and I both know what it’s like to be unemployed. We have struggled through at times and we are still struggling now.

“We are trying to do something different. We are here trying to get the unemployed back into work.”

The course, entitled 10 out of 10, will take place upstairs in the Black Bull, on Barrack Road, in Newcastle, which has recently been transformed into a kitchen and dining room.

Students will be taught a range of skills ranging from food safety, hygiene, nutrition, bar work and cookery.

They will also get the chance to cook and serve three course lunch to potential employers, as well as receive a certificate at the end of the week.

High profile chefs and catering experts will also be on hand to offer advice during the week.

Glenn, who has cooked in Michelin-starred restaurants and with some of the country’s best chefs, said: “We want to tell people to come to us. The course is all about lifting people’s self esteem and giving them the motivation for work, as well as learning some basic skills.

“Olivier and I are very well known in the region and it will be easy to speak to our friends who might have place for some of the people on the course.

“If they pass the course they could actually find work through it.

“It’s unique and there’s nothing else like it. There’s no other course that has a former Premiership footballer and a world class boxer teaching it.”

Glenn and Olivier have invested in a state-of-the-art commercial kitchen and dining room, which is located above the Black Bull pub, situated close to St James’ Park.

As well as being home of the course, the facilities will also host private dining functions and provide food on match-days from the first home game of the season on August 1.

Sunday lunches will also be served at the Black Bull from August 2 and one of Terry Laybourne’s most senior lieutenants Glen Robson will be helping out in the kitchen.

The employability courses will run for one week from Monday to Friday from 10am to 3pm.

For information about the course or about private dining at the Black Bull contact us.

London remains one of the most popular destinations for people to visit when they are in the UK, and shopping continues to be the main reason for visiting. The atmosphere throughout the city is vibrant and exciting, offering a vast array of different shopping experiences. Whether you want to barter with one of the street vender’s, or gaze at the top designer boutiques, there is something for everyone.

Shopping throughout the capital is incredible, and there will be very few things that you cannot find in the huge amount of shops, malls, and boutiques on offer. Alongside the typical clothing stores, you will find furniture, books, artwork and even markets that will offer you a different side of London.

World Class Shopping in London

World Class Shopping in London

 Oxford Street

Oxford Street remains the top location for shoppers and is where a huge majority of the stores are situated. This area of London can become incredibly busy; therefore, you need to be prepared for some hustle and bustle. People who are visiting the capital for the first time can find this area of London to be over whelming.

Oxford Circus

Hamleys is located in Oxford Circus and remains the world’s largest toy store, offering gifts for all ages, and a unique experience. You must pop into this magical toy store, and browse thousands of different gifts on offer. Knightsbridge remains the jewel in the crown of shopping, with Harrods dominating the street.

Alongside Harrods, you will find Gucci, Armani, Prada and Harvey Nichols, all of which offer designer clothing in high end boutiques. However, there are also many high street shops, and for bargain hunters, the markets are ideal. You will be able to find everything from tourist keepsakes to flowers and gifts.

A Less Traditional Experience

If you want an experience alongside the shopping, you will need to visit Portobello Road Market, which dates back centuries, and offers a huge array of different items. There are music stalls, antiques, retro clothing and local handicrafts on offer. Many celebrities pop along to the market when they are in the city; therefore, you never know who you might see browsing.

Soho has built up a darker reputation, however, the shopping remains interesting and offers a range of unique and fascinating shops. Whether you want the Janet Fitch designer jewellery, Ann Summers kinky lingerie, or Metalmorphis for the body piercings, there is something for everyone. There are also vintage magazine shops to explore and fascinating record and music shops.

With so much on offer it can be daunting to decide what shops to visit, however, if you are short on time, there are several that provide a unique experience, and a fantastic bag. Harrods, Convent Garden, Hamleys and Carnaby Street are all must see shopping places whilst visiting the city. With all of this great information about London, don’t think just because you are in London for a short time that you should limit yourself to London – there is so much more to the UK and within easy access. Day tours to Stonehenge run daily and being only an hour’s drive from London its within easy access to make an afternoon of it, alternatively you can head to Bicester Village for some additional shopping needs and there are coach tours that run there as well!

1998 Clean Sweep

Project Information

Award Amount:$40,000.00
Dollars Leveraged:$2,106.00
Start-End Dates:10/1/98-9/30/99
Description:Summary: This grant provided funding for the disposal of 59,000 pounds of pesticides at eight permanent clean sweep storage facilities that have been supported by EPA and GLNPO. Clean Sweep helps protect the state's natural resources and prevent agriculture pollution by ensuring the safe and proper disposal of outdated, unused or unwanted pesticides in Michigan. The Michigan Department of Agricultures Michigan Groundwater Stewardship Program (MDA MGSP), in cooperation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), local units of government, and the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ), to date have established 16 permanent Clean Sweep sites located throughout the state.

Farmers and individual Michigan residents may drop off potentially harmful pesticides at a Clean Sweep site where they will be collected, packaged for shipping, and disposed of properly and safely. There is no charge for this service. Those interested in participating in the program may contact the site coordinator at the location nearest to them for more information, including collection dates. Pesticide dealers and individuals who sell and/or apply pesticides for hire may also, at the Clean Sweep site managers discretion, dispose of unused or unwanted pesticides at cost. This cost is typically less than 20 percent of the normal cost of pesticide waste disposal because of economies of scale and competitive bidding of waste disposal accounts.

Environmental Results/Products:
Clean Sweep sites cannot take non-pesticide or non-mercury items like Household Hazardous Wastes (leftover consumer products like certain paints, cleaners, car batteries and motor oil), they are run concurrently with local HHW programs to ensure convenience for customers. MDA, through the MGSP and fees paid by pesticide and fertilizer registration fees on specialty and agricultural products, provides funding to support the disposal of pesticides, while the local unit of government host site provides for staffing, scheduling, site maintenance, promotion, vendor selfection, etc. The USEPA has historically provided funding for site construction, and will often provide additional funding to support pesticide disposal. MDEQ support covers the cost of allowing mercury disposal at the sites as well.

This Clean Sweep program collected more than 59,000 pounds of pesticides from eight permanent sites in Michigan.

Review: Fall For Me by J. Lynn (Wait For You #4) (18+)

Fall with Me (Wait for You, #4)Fall With Me
By J. Lynn
Expected publication:
March 31st 2015 by Avon

AmazonB & NAuthor Website

Eleven months ago, bartender and weird-shirt-wearing extraordinaire Roxy and Officer Reece Anders had a one night stand. Well, kind of. She’s been in love with him since she was fifteen, and he wishes that night they shared never happened. She’s sworn him off forever, but the past and future collide, forcing her to rely on the one man who broke her heart not once, but twice.

Her best friend since birth has been in a long-term care facility since he became a victim of a hate crime years ago, and the person who put him in there is out of prison and wanting to make amends with him and Roxy. She’s not sure she has room for forgiveness in her and when she begins to receive frightening messages and is on the receiving end of escalating violence, she thinks she knows who is to blame. The man who already destroyed one life already.

But Reece isn’t convinced. The threats are too personal, and even if Roxy doesn’t believe him, he’s not willing to let anyone hurt her. Including himself. He’s already messed up more than once when it comes to Roxy and he’s not going to let history repeat itself.

As always, Jennifer did not disappoint. And I seriously don't see that happening any time soon, if ever. I have loved this series from book one. And I continue to fall in love with every new character in every book she writes. In the last book "Stay With Me" you meet Roxy. Roxy is this glasses wearing, little cute, eccentric, spunky bartender that works at Mona's. The new hang out spot (a bar) for all the characters of this series. And I loved her immediately. But she carries the weight of the world on her shoulders. And that makes me want to give her bear hug. She's such a sweetheart and she's so adorable. She makes glasses, sexy.

Now, let's talk about Reece. I swear Reece is panty wetting, panty dropping HOT. I see him like a Bradley Cooper kind of guy. Jennifer had me drooling for him. Though some girls in the series feel like Jase is the hottest. I swear Reece is my favorite. I don't  know if it's because of his past. He went to war and he's a cop. (Uniform= HOT!) Or that he would drop his pants along with his holster and gun and take Roxy the minute he got home from work. He's just freaking hot.

Jennifer creates these two characters perfectly. These two has loved each other since forever. But they both are stubborn and don't know how to communicate. So they beat around the bush with each other until Reece grew a pair and decided to man up. Which is good because he was so supportive, so sweet and gentle with Roxy. And she needed that. She had to deal with so much in this book. But lucky for her she had Reece. I think what I like the most about Roxy was that you can see her mature throughout the book. She catches herself when she does something wrong or about to do something wrong and she corrects it. I really liked that.

As for Reece, he had his own demons. The sandbox can make a guy go mad. But an unnecessary death can make a guy go nuts. And he went through a lot as well. Thankfully Jax, (you met him in the last book) was there to help him. He had a lot of letting go to become the man he was in this story. And now because he's dealt with his demons he was able to be there for Roxy. He's my favorite. I love me some Reece.

Jennifer is a writing wizard. I absolutely love her personally and as a writer. She writes these characters, only for us to fall in love. And I tell you, I talk about these characters with others as if they're my friends. She's making me nuts. I give Fall With Me a 4.5 stars and it's a definite Good Choice for Reading!! Check out the trailer below. Can someone tell me the name of that song! Please!

Sportster Done!!! (For Now)

I was determined to reassemble the Sportster this weekend and succeeded.  I was also able to take it for a short ride today which was awesome.  It ran great and looks fantastic.

The seat is a lot smaller than my last one (I replaced my Mustang Vintage Wide Solo with a LePera Barebones).  I basically went from the biggest seat you can get for a Sportster to the smallest.  My ass-to-seat ratio has definitely swung in an uncomfortable direction but I don't really care.  Ask me again after I get a chance to get a good 200 mile ride in.  Maybe I'll change my mind.

Here are some pics that I took today, just before I washed it and took it for a ride (in case you're wondering why it looks so dusty).  I'll get some alternate-angle and detail pics up soon.

I am VERY happy with the results.

Culture is the secret ingredient for digital transformation

Moving from a traditionally top down structure with hierarchical governance to one that embraces multiple ways of working can be a challenge. Terry Storrar explains why cultural change is central to digital transformation projects in the public sector

Digital transformation is a major priority in the public sector. Across the board, organisations are seeking to implement digital improvements that have the potential to bring enormous benefits to staff and end-users. However, inspiring and actioning meaningful change is challenging. What is central to digital transformation projects in the public sector is cultural change.

On paper digital transformation sounds like a win-win for the public sector. With budgets under more pressure than ever before, it sounds simple to improve digital processes to save money and work more efficiently.

However, resistance and fear of change is a major issue in just about every organisation and sector. Change can be can be hard, and it takes us away from what we know, trust and understand. But change is also incredibly powerful and useful. It can help us do things better, more efficiently and with better results. When it comes to digital change, technology is making such rapid leaps forward every day that public sector organisations must adapt to continue to keep up to date, safe and efficient.

Digital transformation allows the centralising of data and access to that data in a way that facilitates new practices around agility, innovation and efficiency which suits each unique individual and their role. It allows organisations to understand that everyone is a contributor to both the organisation, and the most productive ways of working. Beyond this, it’s also realising that the tools that people need to do their jobs today will not be the same as they need tomorrow.

The public sector challenge
Public sector organisations are complex; ‘work’ is wide ranging, it takes place in multiple locations with myriad pieces of software and hardware. To move forward, the public sector needs to embrace digital change or risk getting left behind with consequences on costs and further pressure on service delivery.

Some sectors have been quicker to embrace digital transformation than others, and attitude towards risk does have a significant bearing on the pace of change. Digital transformation can be a particular challenge for the public sector with diverse departments that adhere to strict policies and processes. Making a mistake with data can have serious repercussions, so the stakes are even higher. As such, relinquishing top down governance, can be an even bigger hurdle to overcome.

Moving from a traditionally top down structure with hierarchical governance to one that embraces multiple ways of working can be a challenge. For IT departments digital transformation present new challenges – how can they allow this to happen quickly and, importantly, securely?

Culture is key
When it comes to real digital change in the public sector we already have the technology ingredients we need to allow people to decide what tools they need to do their job better. Embracing this method of working is a major cultural shift. The secret ingredient to inspire meaningful and progressive change, is a shift in the working behaviour of staff. Resistance to change from individuals, departments and whole organisations is what must be addressed to allow real digital transformation.

Training and education is key to help explain to organisations how they can best navigate digital transformation. Organisations need support and advice about how to move to structures that are more consultative and collaborative and ultimately more effective.

By working in more of a consultative manor with all staff, organisations will gain incredibly valuable information about how they can deliver performance improvements and what tools they need to do that work better. Trusting users to do their job and allowing them the ability to access and use the data they need is not only more effective, it will also lead to more engaged and valued staff.

The approach towards education must be two-fold. Firstly, IT departments must be properly trained in how to keep such open systems secure and working effectively. IT departments can become meaningful agents for change within their organisations if they are confident and knowledgeable about how they can empower other staff.

Secondly, education must take place with the wider staff about how they can make best use of the tools available. Empowering staff with the tools, training and knowledge they need will make them happier, more productive and ultimately more effective in their jobs.

A shift in culture needs to occur across all levels of the organisation, and although this kind of strategy focuses on ground-up change, ongoing senior level buy-in is critical to ensure change is being supported and encouraged throughout the organisation. Digital transformation needs a considered approach of engagement from all stakeholders to break free from limitations both internal and external.

By embracing the right digital tools for your unique organisation and listening to each and every employee that uses them you will be setting yourself up for digital success. Organisations must properly engage with individuals and move from a top down strategy, to one that listens to and educates everyone. They can then move towards real digital transformation knowing that they are still operating safely and securely, but also more effectively. And of course remember that what works today might not tomorrow, so be prepared to embrace a program of constant change.

Terry Storrar is director of Managed Services at MCSA.

New England Telehealth Consortium Receives Federal Health Care Grant

Consortium receives $24.6 million to connect rural and urban nonprofit health care centers.

by / January 7, 2008

Maine Governor John E. Baldacci congratulated the New England Telehealth Consortium today for receiving a $24.6 million Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rural health care grant. The grant is the largest award issued by the FCC under the Rural Health Care Pilot Program. The Consortium's winning proposal calls for the connection of rural and urban nonprofit health care centers in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont.

"The system that will be created will enable citizens, especially in rural areas of Maine, to receive top quality care through enhanced telemedicine and information sharing," Baldacci said.

ProInfoNet of Bangor developed the coalition that sought the award. The New England Telehealth Consortium consists of 31 members, representing 555 health care sites in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, including hospitals, the University of Maine, the University of New England, The Jackson Laboratory and others. The consortium will link regional health care providers with urban public practices, research institutions, academic institutions and medical specialists to provide greater efficiency in the sharing of information relevant to health care applications. Once the network is complete, the opportunity exists to connect with a similar network in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island.

"The network created will help all these institutions -- hospitals, clinics, and other providers -- along with academic and research facilities -- to share professional knowledge and research that will ultimately benefit the patient whether that patient is in Bangor, Rockport, Lubec or Millinocket," the governor said. "This project moves us forward on the critical goal of my Administration of improving health care for all Mainers."

Total, the FCC dedicated $417 million over three years for the construction of 69 statewide or regional broadband telehealth networks in 42 states and three U.S. territories.

Get a Perfectly Toned Body by Removing Loose Skin

If you have gone for an intensive weight loss program, you will encounter a side effect in the form of loose skin that will be evident in many parts of the body. But you do not have to worry about the loose skin being there always.

Neither do you have to consider the fact that it will only be after weight gain that this skin will go.Here are some facts and ways to remove the loose skin and make you get that toned body that you have been looking for.

First of all let us establish why does the loose skin appear and what is the best procedure to remove it. The main cause of loose skin is dehydration. If the skin does not have the required amount of moisture, then it becomes dry and loses its elasticity.

So there is the case of the loose skin being evident, ensure that it is moisturized completely, especially after you have a bath. A moisturizing cream containing aloe vera, cocoa butter, cucumber, yeast extracts etc. will be utmost beneficial in removing the loose skin.

The other method is to adopt the exfoliation process that helps remove dead skin cells giving way to the creation of new healthy ones. The procedure stimulates the skin and the use of a moisturizing body scrub and a loofah when you bathe will help you get rid of that loose skin more quickly than you would have imagined. However, the routine has to be regular.

Another efficient way is to include a lot of proteins in your diet, and include pulses and lean poultry in all meals as possible. Proteins will assist in the buildup of muscles in the body, which in turn help reducing the loose skin as new muscles will take its place and also help tighten the remainder skin around those muscles.

This process of muscle buildup can also be augmented by resistance training and strengthening exercises. All these exercises will contribute to strengthening of your muscles by adding more muscle fibers and thus will compliment the protein diet to help reduce that loose skin.

Great Lakes Clinical Trials Kicks Off Participation in GeneMatch Program

Great Lakes Clinical Trials is proud to be an active participant in GeneMatch.  The goal of this program is to move Alzheimer’s research forward by helping scientists recruit participants who may qualify for prevention studies.

GeneMatch is a research program of the Alzheimer’s Prevention Registry to identify a large group of people interested in participating in Alzheimer’s research studies based on their genetic information.

The information you provide will remain secure and confidential. It will be used to help potentially connect you to research studies. Whether you pursue participation in a study is entirely up to you. You are under no obligation to join any study opportunity that may be offered and can remove yourself from GeneMatch at any time.

The Alzheimer’s Prevention Registry created the GeneMatch program to help match people who are 55- 75 years old to research studies based on their genetic information.

GeneMatch will provide you with a cheek swab kit to determine which copies of a gene (known as the APOE type allele) you have. You will not be told your APOE genotype as part of the GeneMatch Program.

GeneMatch may contact you about study opportunities or other based on your APOE genotype. Your interest and response to these study opportunities may be recorded and tracked by the GeneMatch team. You may be invited to complete online education modules and surveys.

Participants will be asked questions regarding the learning material and answers will be recorded and tracked by the GeneMatch team.

GrovetreeGreen Eco Lamination

GTGreen_logo_smNow you can preserve your documents and help preserve the environment!

GrovetreeGreen lamination gives you the same clarity, durability and gloss levels you see in standard O.P.P. film – but it is Oxybiodegradable – ultimately transforming into CO2, water and biomass in any landfill environment.

This, coupled with an FDA approval for direct food contact, lets you choose an advanced and economical thermal laminating film with a very positive environmental impact.

GrovetreeGreen lamination meets the biodegradability standards of ASTM-6054 and E-U 94/62/CE.
