Light Denim: Three Ways

Light Denim

Errands: Top, Shoes, Bag

Date night: Top, Necklace, Flats

The other day I popped into Loft just to browse and ended up trying on some light denim, while I didn't come home with the pair I tried on, I decided I now needed to find the perfect pair to add to my closet.

I tend to gravitate to more medium and dark tones when it comes to denim because I always feel like the lighter ones draw more attention to my legs and make them look bigger, but I think with the right fit and shading I should be able to hunt down a flattering pair.

The great thing about any denim is it's versatility.  So easy to dress up or down depending on what you pair it with.  Speaking of pairing with, can we talk about those Sperry's, they have gold polka dots, love them!

Summer Bucket List Revisited

It's almost August, seriously how did that happen?!?  I figured since our months of summer are starting to dwindle (sad, but probably true) I better revisit my Summer Bucket List before it became to late!  I feel like we've made a good dent, but we are not done yet.  I want to make an effort to fit it all in, well it still feels like summer outside!

1| Run outside often Could be more often!
2| Have a vegetable garden, and use everything that comes from it  Just starting to see our harvest, excited to start cooking with it, yesterday's recipe was the first one!
3| Get a nice tan and stock up on some Vitamin D I was doing better the first half of the summer!
4| Eat outside often We could do this more!
5| Have bonfires on our patio, more than once Done!
6| Host a BBQ with friends and family
7| Visit Lake Geneva, WI
8| Garage overhaul (clean, insulate, and organize)
9| Visit my family's lake house Done, but I'd never mind going back!
10| Read a book Actually, I read a few!

11| Cook at least 3 new recipes Done, and hopefully I try a few more.
12| Finish the bathroom remodel Soooo close!
13| Go to the beach
14| Make s'moresSeveral times!
15| Go to a drive in movie
16| Go to an outdoor concert
17| Go on a kayaking tour (use the Groupon I've had since last summer!) Lot's of fun!
18| Star gaze
19| Go hiking
20| Go on a bike ride

It looks like we are over halfway there, but I'm glad I checked in so we can make time for some of the fun stuff.  The summer always goes by way to quickly, it's amazing how it when you were little it used to feel so long, and now it's over in a blink of an eye.  We have had great summer weather so far, and hopefully that sticks with us for a great fall, which is my absolutely most favorite season ever!

What have you checked off your summer bucket list?

Easy Cooking: Zucchini Bread

Happy Tuesday!  I hope everyone had a great weekend, which probably already seems so far away at this point.  I've found it super hard to sit down at the computer and get a post up for Monday, seeing it is still the middle of my weekend.  Our weekend was pretty full, including a trip to The Vintage Faire, and wrapping up work on the bathroom!

This weekend we also got our first haul from our garden, which included a few zucchini, a cucumber, some onions, and a few green peppers, so of course I had to put some of that to good use.

I've really been trying lately to cut back on eating refined sugar and instead finding more natural alternatives.  It's hard for me because I have a super big sweet tooth and love finishing each meal with something sweet.  The nice thing about summer is there is an abundance of fresh fruit, which helps, but sometimes you just need a little more than that!

I thought with the zucchini from our garden I would try my hand at some zucchini bread.  I'm not usually one to tweak, modify my recipes at all.  I mean they are designed to already work, right?  But since I was going for a healthier version, that I did, and I have to say it turned out pretty good!

3 cups Flour (I used a gluten free all purpose flour mix)
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
3 teaspoons Cinnamon
3 Eggs
3/4 cup Coconut Oil
3 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
3/4 cup Agave Nectar
1/2 cup Organic Coconut Sugar
2 cups Grated Zucchini
1 cup Chopped Walnuts

  1. Preheat your oven to 315 degrees, grease and flour two loaf pans.
  2. Sift together the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon.,
  3. In a separate bowl combine together the eggs, coconut oil, vanilla, agave nectar, and coconut sugar.
  4. Combine the wet and dry mixture, making sure to stir out any clumps.
  5. Add in the zucchini and walnuts.
  6. Divide into two loaf pans.  Bake 40-50 minutes, or until you can pull a clean toothpick out of the center.  Let cool in pans.

The best part is that the zucchini is so full of moisture so the bread is super moist, and just sweet enough with the agave nectar and coconut sugar.

It always feels good to be able to make something from something that you grew!

My Friday Five

Sometimes I truly think I chose the wrong profession, I am so jealous of all of you who are on summer break right now!  This week started out a bit muggy, and then transitioned into the most perfect weather, making it so hard to not just want to sit there and enjoy it.  The crazy part is it has been almost fall like at night, though I'm not complaining!  Here's a look back at my week.

1| Last weekend I hit the halfway point in my #100happydays challenge.  It's now a point where it's become a habit, which is good because I hope it will always keep me looking for at least that one thing each day I can be happy about.  Some days are way easier than others, and I'm so glad that Karly @ Miss in the Midwest joined along on the challenge with me, it's motivating to have someone along with you - thanks girl!

2| Monday night I finally satisfied my craving for some cheese fondu with an impromptu date night to The Melting Pot.  I don't know what it is about cheese fondu, but I could eat it everyday if it was allowed - ok so technically it's allowed but generally not recommend!

3|  I was doing some work the other night and got up to find Charlie sleeping on Martin's gym bag, seems logical, right?!

4| I have not been good lately about being consistent with my workouts, I actually made it out running two days in a row this week.  Small victory, but I will take it!  You have to start somewhere!

5|  On Sunday Martin and I are going to The Vintage Faire which I am super excited about.  I stumbled upon it on Facebook a few weeks ago, it looks like it's going to be a good collection of vendors with all sorts of great finds.  I love just walking and looking around, and maybe we'll even find a few pieces for the house!

I wish everyone a great weekend whatever you find yourself doing, see you next week!

Elegance Obsession: Crate & Barrel

I don't know about you guys, but I love browsing the pages of glossy catalogs for inspiration.  Whether it be home decor, fashion, food, it doesn't really matter there is just something about slowly flipping through the pages that I love so much more than clicking around online.

A few weeks ago I received Crate & Barrel's July Best Buys catalog in the mail and was instantly drawn in by the colors on the cover.

The blues and greens are colors I have all over the first floor of my house and I just love the serene feel, so of course I was quickly flipping through loving all the inspiration inside.  There was a period where I felt like everything at Crate & Barrel had gone to modern for my tastes, but I am happy to report that I no longer think that is the case, for I fell in love with several things!

Image Via
I'm loving all the colors of these beautiful dishes, it makes me want to replace all mine instantly.  The blush has to be my favorite, followed by the light gray, of course.

Image Via
How awesome is that mint sideboard?  Crate & Barrel has the best printed dish towels, they have the best colors and design and you can usually snag them for just a few bucks.

Image Via

I could seriously take them all!  It's such a good way to add a little extra punch to your kitchen, throw one of these over the handle of your stove or dishwasher and it's an instant pick me up!

Image Via

Speaking of being in the kitchen, they had all this great bake ware and kitchen supplies in these great blues and greens and yellows.  My first reaction was, where was all this great stuff when I was putting together my kitchen?!  It would all be so perfect for it!

Image Via
I fell hard for these bowls, something about the colors combined with the fact that they nest in each other, perfection!  I actually have an older version of these exact bowl, but the colors resemble that of the rainbow.  Don't get me wrong, I like them, but I love these!

Image Via
Now can you imagine cooking with all of these beautiful supplies in this kitchen?  A gray island on wheels, I don't know if you could combine more of my favorite things.  I am definitely going to need an island in my next kitchen!

Image Via
And once your done cooking you could sit down at this gorgeous dining nook to enjoy your creations.  The mint, teal, and white together, such inspiration!

I was so in love with everything in this catalog, too bad Christmas and my birthday are so far away!  Some things at Crate & Barrel can be pretty pricey, but what I love about their Best Buy catalogs is that they are filled with tons of things that are just that, best buys.  Great pieces and great values.  I've rounded up a collection of what I would come home with today, easily, I would put them all in my house without a blink of an eye!

Do you have a favorite catalog for inspiration?

Fab Fit Fun VIP Summer Box

I love getting mail, like absolutely love getting mail.  Even though half the time, ok more like all of the time, the things that I am getting are things that I've ordered for myself, which is why it makes getting this piece of mail all that more exciting.  Yes I did order it for myself, but I have no idea what will be inside!  It's my FabFitFun VIP Box!

After the success of my very first subscription box (you can read about it here) I figured I would keep going.  What I like about FabFitFun VIP is that it is a seasonal box, as opposed to monthly, and it includes full size products.  Both times now my boxes have been full with over $200 worth of product, which is awesome considering I'm spending under $50, and it exposes me to some great products I most likely wouldn't have otherwise tried.  It also dosen't hurt that it's curated by Giuliana Rancic who is adorable and has great style.

Check out what I got in my Summer Edition VIP Box.

Here's what was inside:

Sonya Dakar Flash Facial| I was probably the most excited about this item out of everything in the box.  It claimed to reveal softer, plumper, and younger looking skin in just 60 seconds, and it retails for $95.  I will take better looking skin any day, I just usually wouldn't pay that much for it!  I've only used it once and so far I've liked it.  You can definitely tell it's sloughing off the dead skin cells and I felt it did leave me with a refreshed look.  I'll be curious after a couple uses if I notice a big difference.

Pur~lisse Pur~protect SPF 30| I'm excited to give this lightweight moitsurizer a try, not only does it have natural ingredients it was also recently featured in Vogue as the Editor's Favorite Summer Product.

Thursday Friday Away Mini Clutch/Makeup Bag| This is a cute little bag that is fully lined, easy to throw make up in.  You can never have to many of these little cases around, they are especially great when traveling.

Balanced Guru No Frizz Oil| Super excited to try this hair oil, it's organic, cruelty free, and help combat frizz, which is always bad in the summer, especially for us curly haired girls.  This is a blend of argan, jojoba, and tamanu oils to help tame the crazy flyaways.

FabFitFun Water Infuser| This is a BPA free bottle with an infuser, so you can add natural flavors to your water, which is great for me, because sometimes I need a little help to drink as much water as I should.  I'm sure I will put this to use.

Zoya Nail Polish| You can never have too much nail polish and I love this bright coral color I received called Thandie.  Next polish change this will be going on my toes.

Kisstixx Lip Balm| The idea is 2 lip balms with compatible flavors that combine when you kiss.  I got chocolate and strawberry, could be interesting.

That is what I consider the good bulk of the box, but there were still several more smaller items in there.  There was a bag of POP Chips, Skintimate Shave Gel, Always Extra Protection Liners, and a Slimfast Meal Bar.  All in all, TONS of stuff.

Would you like to score yourself a FabFitFun VIP Summer Edition Box?!  They are still available to order and I have a coupon code good for $15 off your box, just imagine you could have all that listed above for $35, how awesome is that?!  The first 3 people to redeem this code, it's all yours!  8000724, use that number, go to town.  Even if it's used up I still think the box is a great deal, at $49.99 you get tons of great product, that's what I paid for mine and I think it's well worth it!  Go here to snag one of your own!

Bathroom Remodel: So Close!

Our bathroom remodel is getting so close to done and it feels so good!  For those of you who follow along on my instagram I shared this little sneak peak on Sunday of the progress in the bathroom.

Now before we take a closer look, it's always good to remember where you came from.  You know like way back in March when we actually started this project!  In all fairness summer has kept us a little sidetracked, but nonetheless it has been a long time coming.

Remember back when it looked like such.

I like how I didn't even bother to put the toilet seat down for the photo.  Now this was phase 1 of the bathroom makeover.  We had taken down the 1980's floral wallpaper and oak towel bars and updated the vanity, mirror, and light.  But eventually the tile wore on us, hence phase 2, major overhaul.  And now we're looking at this.

Love!  Working on this side of the bathroom was so rewarding because we got to see the results so quickly.  In the morning there really wasn't anything on that side of the bathroom other than the painted vanity.

We went with a prefabricated white quartz vanity top from Lowe's, I wasn't 100% sold on it because even though it says white, it's really more like an off white.  But with seeing everything together I think it was a good choice, if there was no budget I would have loved to go for carrara marble but that will have to wait for my dream house!

The vanity top that we purchased had holes for a widespread faucet, I wanted to go with the Delta Porter since that is what we had used in the shower.  They had it at Home Depot for $119, but one thing I've learned from other renovations is to always check online, especially ebay.  I was able to score a brand new in the box faucet for $80, including shipping.  $30 saved, I'll take it.

The faucet and drain are really easy to assemble as long as you follow the instructions.  It probably took all of 30 min with Martin and I working together.  It's nice to have extra hands because things need to be held and tightened, and when it comes to actually putting the top on the vanity, that thing is pretty heavy!

I've picked up some hardware to put on the vanity to help give it some finishing touches.  It's so hard to choose from all the options out there, you better believe I checked them all out, and I'm still not completely sold on the ones that I came home with!
The other big addition, a toilet.  I know not the most exciting thing, but most necessary to call this room a bathroom and get rid of the big ugly hole in the floor we've been staring at for the past 4 months.  I can't say I know much about shopping for toilets.  We really just hit the isle in Home Depot and picked out a mid grade one that I liked how it looked and it was comfort height which seemed nice.  We went with the Kohler Cimarron.  Again the installation is pretty straight forward as long as you follow the instructions, I mean that's what they are there for!  And so far so good, no leaks (knock on wood).

I'm not sure if I'm sold on the mirror quite yet.  I just took the old mirror that was there and gave it a distressed paint job.

I'm leaving it for now to see if it grows on me.  The nice thing is an easy coat of spray paint can transform it to any color of my choosing.  And the best part is I've started to shop for accessories, here's a little preview of some of my finds.

I am excited to start putting on some of the finishing touches!

If your just joining me, catch up with my bathroom remodel:

Nordstrom Anniversay Sale Picks Under $100

Hey everybody, happy Monday!  Hope you had a good weekend.  Martin and I got a good chunk of work done on the bathroom yesterday and it's getting so close to being finished, I can't wait to share it.  It's amazing how fast the day can fly by, especially when you are trying to get things done!

Speaking of things flying by it feels like the days are just going by way way way too fast.  I've been so wanting to do some shopping lately and I just haven't had any time.  Well that's kind of a lie.  I've done plenty of shopping lately, but most of it has been for the house, cleaning and organizing.  What I want to do is some shopping for me!

On Friday Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale kicked off online and it's great for a couple of reasons.  One, everything that's on sale is for the season coming up, fall.  And since the days keep flying by I'm sure it will be here before we know it and with this sale I'll have some new things to wear when it arrives.  Two, when you shop online Nordstrom's offers free shipping not only to you, but on your returns as well, I am definitely a fan!  Three, I love getting a good deal on nice things, and Nordstrom's has nice things. (PS. They have no idea who I am, I just like them!)

I've rounded up a few of my favorite items from the Anniversary Sale, almost all under $100, because that is how I shop.  You can hover and click on any of the items for more details.

That Michael Kors jacket is the perfect cold weather version to my Old Navy military jacket I used all spring, and this is the only item over $100, and I still think it's a good deal for what it is.  I am loving the neckline on the simple black dress, though it is a juniors so I am a little worried about the length.  I have been wanting a pair of boat shoes for awhile and love the gold accents on these, surprise surprise, I have been loving all things gold recently.  The long sleeve Halogen dress would be a perfect work dress and it looks so comfy, and I absolutely love the green blazer, such a great color and a great price!

I love tech wristlets that you can slip your phone into and I'm loving how slim this Michael Kors one is.  The BP Sweatshirt looks so comfy, but not sloppy, something easy to throw on on a casual day.  Now I just have to decide which of these pieces I to add to my closet.  If I had my way they would all be coming home with me!

Do you have your eye on anything in the Anniversary Sale?

My Friday Five

Oh hey Friday, I've been looking for you!  It's always hard when you head back to work after time off, this week has been no exception to that rule.  I find myself desperate for the approaching weekend, excited that it is almost here!

This week has been unseasonably cool for us here in Chicagoland, but I don't mind it.  It's still plenty warm during the day, but when it is slightly cool at night it is the best sleeping weather.  Lets check out a few highlights from this past week.

1|  On Sunday evening Martin and I grilled out, it was the first time this summer we made beer brats.  I love beer brats, it may have something to do with my Wisconsin heritage perhaps, but they aren't the greatest thing for you, so I definitely don't consume them as often as I'd like.  For those of you who don't know a real beer brat does not come from the store in a package labeled "beer brats".  Instead you take your plain old regular brats and some chopped up onions and boil them in beer for 20ish minutes before popping them on the grill.  That is a real beer brat and that is delicious!

2| Martin and I have now become regulars at the little crepe restaurant we like to frequent.  We walked in on Monday evening and the guy behind the counter asked if we wanted our "usual".  This is the only place we go where someone has remembered our usual's, and I kinda like it!  This time I had to go a little out of category and add a dessert crepe to the mix, it was well worth it!

3| I have been slowly acquiring items for my home office and this gem came in the mail this week.  I am in love with my new stapler, simple as that.

4| I came across this chart on Pinterest the other day which I thought was a perfect follow up to the post I shared on Wednesday about Quitting Sugar.  This would be a great chart to print out and keep in the kitchen, an easy way to choose healthier alternatives.

Image Via

5|  I am 99.999% sure that this is the weekend that all big things in the bathroom get completed.  I am so excited because that means all that is left will be the finishing touches, a few decorative items and I can stamp this project done!  Can't wait to share to results with you guys!

Hope everyone enjoys their weekend, whatever it is that you do with it, see you Monday!

Quitting Sugar & Naturally Sweet Options

I don't know about you guys, but I have one large sweet tooth.  I can't finish a meal without having a dessert, or at least something sweet.  When I was younger I used to be so bad about satisfying my sweet tooth with tons of sugary candy and in addition to that drank my fair share of soda.  We've all heard that too much sugar isn't good for you, but did you know there are 10 ways it can affect your overall health?

The original 10 Reasons To Quit Sugar infographic can be found at

Crazy, right?!  I will gladly do without all of those things.  I have been trying to reduce the sugar in my diet over the last year more so just to "be healthier" than anything else, but these reasons give me even more ammunition.

Now we know a few things, that nothing is good for you in excess and not all sugars are created equally.  Being able to use natural sweeteners like honey or agave nectar can make all the difference over using artificial sweeteners like high fructose corn syrup or aspartame.

It's amazing how over time if you have removed the artificial sugars from your diet you can so easily taste and identify if you are eating something with them in it, and how it just can taste over powering and fake.  You don't even want to eat it anymore.

Here are two naturally sweet recipes I use that totally satisfy my sweet tooth.

Natural Lemonade

Image Via

Juice 2-3 granny smith apples and 1 lemon.  The sugar from the apples provides the sweetness and you get the taste of a cool refreshed glass of lemonade, which is the best in the summer, without any added sugar, plus all the health benefits from freshly juiced fruits.

Raw Cashew Cookies

1 cup cashews
1 cup pitted dates
1/4 chocolate chips or chunks
1/4 coconut

Using a food processor, start at the top of the list and work your way down.  Throw in the cashews first and grind, then your dates, and then any thing else you would like in your cookies.  My go to is chocolate and coconut, but you could add in peanuts and chocolate or dried cranberries, the options are endless.  Once you have everything broken down use your hands to form small balls about 1.5 in.  The dates act as the glue and sweetener and hold everything together.  If you like a softer cookie you can keep them at room temperature, or you can throw them in the fridge if you like them a little more firm.  To me these are just as satisfying as a traditional cookie, but it's almost like your getting to eat the cookie dough versus a baked cookie, which to me is all the better.  The plus is they are also gluten free, easy win win.

Do you have any favorite naturally sweet recipes?  Please share!

Elegance Makeover: Metal Tray

Sometimes you just have to have a little imagination when you are shopping.  How cool could that be with a different color, or fabric, or slight alteration?  It's no secret that I am obsessed with visiting TJ Maxx, Marshall's, and Home Goods on a weekly basis.  My husband knows them as my happy places and never puts up a fight when I ask to stop and roam the isles.

I always make sure to roam down the clearance isles in the home decor section because that is where these gems tend to lie.  Some of these pieces just aren't to favorable to anyone in their current state, therefore they have hung around for awhile which equals a nice red sticker, aka lower price, like what became this beautiful tray below.

Last week we had to make a quick stop at Marshalls, my husband needed to make a return, which meant I got to do some browsing.  I found this awesome metal tray, with a mirrored bottom, no cracks or chips, marked down to $12.99.

Not only was it marked more than half off, it was a perfect candidate for some spray paint.  I've been wanting to try my hand with some gold spray paint and I knew this would be the perfect project for it.  Spray paint always adheres well to metal, and if I didn't like it I could just spray it another color since red wasn't going to fly with me anyways.

Once I had my tray I made a quick stop at Home Depot for some paint and had the rest of my supplies at home.  I went with Rustoleum's Metallic in Gold since I've heard good things about it in blog land.

The best part about this project is that it can be completed in under a half an hour, it is quick and simple, but gives a big impact.

First thing, I grabbed some newspaper out of the recycling bin and using my Frog tape I covered the mirror since I did not want to paint the mirrored bottom.

I laid down some plastic in the garage and put my tray up on a few pieces of scrap wood so I would be able to easily coat even the bottom edge and little feet that it has.  Always make sure when you are spray painting something that you are doing it in a well ventilated area, not only is it better for you, it also helps the paint to dry.

Once everything is prepped, it's go time.  Grab your color of choosing and attack with thin, light, even coats.

I was in love from first mist.  Seriously, I love this stuff.  Part of me thinks it's so funny because I used to hate gold, truly hate it.  But recently I can't get enough.  It's different now though, gold now tends to be this more matted version.  It used to seem like it was always this super shiny, yellowy gold.  Now it is soft and elegant, so elegant.  I can assure you that this spray paint will be well used by me, just watch.

I'm not sure yet exactly where this tray will call home.  Right now it's living on the sideboard in my office housing my nail polish.  Not sure if it will stay but, but what is for sure is how much I love it!

‘Pan tu nie stal, a 100% Polish souvenir

‘Pan tu nie stal, a 100% Polish souvenir

Get dressed up in the style of the Popular Republic of Poland.

With an ironic wink at the Communist era, Pan tu nie stal means ‘You weren't there, sir', a phrase repeated many times in the long line-ups of impatient clients waiting for stores with empty shelves to open. This brand of clothing and accessories is inspired from the typography and iconography of the communist era: T-shirts for children showing vintage tractors, bedspreads with traditional Polish dishes (and the famous pickle), dresses with dandelions and many slogans ‘updated' for amusement's sake—which are only funny if you read Polish! You can even find copies of ceramic glasses that were used in the popular canteens of the time. All of which is gently nostalgic for this lost time. Fascinated by design from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, two designers, Justyna Burzynska and Maciej Lebiedowicz, first had a blog before making their own line of T-shirts in their garage and finally launching a production line in Lodz. Today, Pan tu nie stal is one of the hippest of Polish brands.

Visual basic application in computer hardware control and data acquisition

A.O. Egwali, J.A. Igimoh

Speech Recognition Technology enables text acquisition via users’ dictation and  knowledge gain through system dictation. In this paper the application of speech  recognition technology in hardware device control and data acquisition is experimented using Visual Basic and the Speech Application Programming Interface (SAPI) Software Development Kit. To control hardware using Visual Basic, all hardware requests were designed to go through Windows via the printer parallel ports which is accessed and controlled by means of the Printer object. A ULN2003A Relay Driver which contains 7 separate Darlington pairs with common emitters and three modified Transistor- Transistor-Logic circuit (i.e. 74LS365) were used to interface an analog-to-digital converter and the parallel port of the computer. The seven light emitting diodes were driven by the ULN2003A with each pair being rated at 500mA, which can also  withstand surges up to 600mA. The proposed speech recognition system enabled data read by the control software to be stored in a file for later use. Also the system was able to reads the system input state via words like “one” which kindle output 1, “four” or “for” for output 4, etc of the different input port to the interfacing hardware device.

Research of the WWE Network

Reimagining the WWE Network

The most important part of my project to reimagine the WWE Network, I undertook some user research.

Yes, my brain is full of ideas of how to make improvements to the WWE Network but some of the more crazy ones need to be validated by the WWE Universe.

I set up a questionnaire and seeded it out on various wrestling related Facebook Groups and Subreddits.

Reimagining the WWE Network

Reimagining the WWE Network

As a fan of World Wrestling Entertainment since 1993 and a subscriber to the WWE Network since 2017, I feel compelled to reimagine the way the WWE Network functions.

The main reason for this project is to spark discussion in the community and raise awareness to the WWE that although the WWE Network is a great start, it drastically needs to be updated with new functionality in order to increase and retain the subscribers.

It will also demonstrate my skills in Digital Strategy, Product Development and User Experience Design.

This aims to be constructive criticism and hopefully throughout, I can engage in useful conversation with like minded fans of this unique artform and ultimately if some of these ideas can be built into the WWE Network, then it will have succeeded to retain me as a subscriber.

The project will include:

  • A white paper
  • A keynote presentation
  • Periodic blog posts
  • Public roadmap (Trello)
  • Designs
  • HTML prototypes

This is the first in a series of blog posts but it also serves as a call to action. The best UX projects put the users at the heart of it. It’s an approach called User Centred Design (UCD).

I’d appreciate if you fill in this quick survey and share it amongst your friends, facebook groups and wrestling forums. I’ll be giving away three WWE Network gift cards.

8 Best 7 Inch Tablets of 2019

Are you looking for the best 7-inch tablet of 2019? Here is your complete guide to making the right purchase! We have picked the 8 best 7-inch tablets that you can choose from. So, let’s explore!

First Off, Why a 7-inch Tablet?

Well, it’s entirely your choice on what size of tablet you want to pick. But if you’re still confused whether you should invest in a 7″ tablet or not, let me help you out.

A few years back, Nexus 7 bought the idea of a 7 inch tablet into existence in 2012. Although the mentioned tablet is no longer a consideration, it induced the trend of smaller tablets. It led to a surge in demand for mini tablets and all the big computer, and mobile phone manufacturers snapped into action!

Falling into the footsteps of Google and Asus, the huge companies like Apple, Samsung, Lenovo, and even Amazon introduced their mini tablet.

The advantages offered by a 7 inch tablet are:

  • The convenience of handling as the design is usually very sleek and slim
  • The tablets of this category are very budget-friendly
  • Facilitate easy and comfortable e-reading for students
  • A screen experience better than your phone
  • Light in weight, thus, beats your bulky laptop
  • Pocket-sized yet comes with a better processor and RAM than your phone

Which is the best 7 inch tablet of 2019?

If you’re planning on buying a 7 inch tablet and are looking for the best one from this year, we have got 8 options for you. Let’s have a look at the profound details that we have gathered for you:

Apple iPad Mini 4

Standing right to the brand’s name, Apple iPad Mini 4 is the top in our list – for many reasons. According to Apple, this tablet is ‘Mighty. Small.’, and there is more to Mini 4 that meets the eyes!

The iPad Mini 4 is the lightest tablet ever created by Apple with a weight of 0.65lb and thickness of 6.1mm. The 7.9 inches sharp retina display, allows users to experience rich colors and more clarity in videos, movies, and pictures. The tab offers a resolution of 2048 X 1536 that makes the picture quality even better and with 3.1 million pixels, it also adds to the sharpness of text for the better reading experience.

The tab comes with an 8 MP iSight rear camera with enhanced sensors and image signal processor and is ideal for low-light performance. It also has a 1.2 MP front camera, which is said to be suitable for Face Time. With an A8 1.5 GHz dual-core processor, the tab does excellently when it comes to the performance of CPU and graphics. Other specifications include 2 GB RAM, iOS 9 operating system which is upgradable to iOS 10.2, and 10 hours of battery life!

Zenpad 7 has 1.2 GHz Intel Atom Quad-Core Processor, with 1 GB RAM and runs on Android 5.0.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A7

If you’re a Samsung lover, and thus, an android lover, you must go for this one! This petite 7″ tablet weighs 0.64 lbs and is about 8.7 mm thick.

The name only suggests that this tab is an essential and a must-have by every household! Why a household, you ask? Well, because this tablet is the best for sharing and for multiple users.

As Lenovo claims, “every member of the family gets their own tailored experience on Tab 7”. So, if you’re a parent looking for a tablet apt for you and your children, pick the Lenovo Tab 7 Essential. It is a great investment that offers accounts for multiple users.

Amazon Fire 7 Kids Edition

It also comes with 2-year’s warranty and lots and lots of educational content for your kids.

The GMAT Experience

August 18, 2008 - Posted in MBA Apping Posted by:

I decided to get a MBA degree somewhere around the middle of May. I took the first Princeton GMAT Diagnostic Test on 16th May, and scored a pathetic 580 on it. However, since I had decided to go down the MBA path, I went ahead and booked my GMAT on June 10 for August 6th, which was the closest available date to the 2 month time required to prepare for it.

I knew from the diagnostic test that I sucked at the verbal, and was rusty at quant. Sentence Correction and Critical Reasoning were the toughest.

The preparations began slowly in June. I was swamped with work in office and also had no habit of sitting down to ghot. I was doing mostly 30-40 min sessions some 3-4 times every week. The first round was a quick review of the Official Guide, 11th Edition. Its a great companion for GMAT. All kinds of questions are reviwed with multiple examples. A must do (and redo) for all GMAT aspirants as mentioned here and here.

Anyways, after the first round of OG, took a test from the GMATPrep software and scored a decent 680. This was the mid of July. After a quick trip to Hyd, and some time wasted at office, I was back at prep. This time it was practice using the Kaplan Comprehensive Program. Another GMATPrep Test and scored a good 720. I knew I was doing better and then started focussing on the rough edges. I was already hitting 48-50 on the quant and regularly doing 35+ on the verbal.

Next came the Kaplan GMAT 800. This nearly shattered all the confidence and I felt like a noob!! So bad I was at it that I almost gave up all hope.  However, some friends wisely advised that this was not the easiest of the tests and I should not give in to despair. I now entered the last week before the actual day and started working on OG GMAT Verbal Review. I must confess that this was the wisest decision ever made by me. And all credit goes to Dharmesh for this. I was able to up my scoring on the verbal part and reached 40 a couple of times.

The last 5 days before the actual date were spent taking additional tests. I scored 690 and 710 on two Kaplan tests and 750 on a Princeton Review test. I also did some general sentence correction exercises (thanks to Akanksha and GTalk for that.)

Finally, the I flew to Kolkata on August 5th and spent the night at my brothers place. I woke up early the next day and started for my test centre a couple of hours before the scheduled time of 10AM. Since the test center was not open yet, I spent the time at the Haldiram shop opposite the center drinking iced tea. When the center opened I went there and waited for the test to start, doing some Sudoku (and failing miserable at it.)

The test started after the standard photo and passport check. A novelty was the finger print scan. Anyways, sailed through the AWA essays. Took a break and started the Quant. The first question totally stumped me and I spent a good 5 minutes on it. I started off very slowly and did only about 10 questions in the first 25 mins. However, I was very careful and did well on it. The next set of questions were easier and I strolled through them and completed the section with around 7-8 mins of spare. Took a quick break and started the verbal section. First question was easy. But right next up was the RC. Damn it!! Ate up a lot of time and again I took a lot of time in the first 8-10 questions. I upped my speed after that and was able to complete the section with some time to spare. Went through the formalities then till it came to the point where I could submit or cancel. The last leg of the quant was too damn easy and for once I thought that I had screwed up and might have cancelled. However, I thought better and submitted the test. After some agonizing wait the score showed up and they were so good that I nearly fell off my seat.

Verbal – 50, Quant – 42, Total – 760. AWA (reported later) – 5.5

I think that the last week before the test was crucial and taking all those tests at the same time as the original test helped me quite a lot. First, it gave me the patience to sit down for those long hours. And second, it conditioned my brain to function effectively during that part of the day. Thanks to a lot of people – Akanksha, Misra, Bansal, Ankur, and all you great bloggers (Necromonger in particular).

So that was the GMAT Story. Now to choosing the schools and writing essays.

Rahul 11 years ago

Awesome man!! Congrats!! And you actually hit 710 on Kaplan.. wow!!! I never made it past 690! I wonder if we can dream of getting into the same school.. that’d be fun! 😀

Goyal 11 years ago

Keeping the fingers crossed. I should finalize my app list by end of next week. And yeah, another couple of years together at school would be “pure awesomeness”.

devadutta 11 years ago

Goyal 11 years ago

Now you know the reason for the long absence from the quizzes. Will you guys still consider me for the Tees though 😉

Rhiannon 11 years ago

Congrats!! 🙂

How are you doing? I am sure you would have even started applying for the colleges…ATB,

and thanks your advice was worth it! 😉

Goyal 11 years ago

Haven’t even shortlisted the schools yet lady!! Should get that done first 🙂 Thanks for the wishes.

Anant 11 years ago

Hey dude. U write good, in fact one gets caught into reading your material to the end. Ever thought of writing a book? I can guess that if you would write a Chetan Bhagat types, it will have good chances of success (with some refining though). But, then I am sure, you might not follow a preset style.

Goyal 11 years ago

@Anant – Thanks man.

As for Chetan Bhagat, I think I lost all respect for him after “One Night at the Call Center”. FPS was special because it reminded you of your days in college, and went on to become a hit.

And for me writing – lets see.. With my experience at the BSchool essays, I am not too sure about it 😉

Local educators spoke to residents during First National Bank's Lunch and Learn program on Thursday about their experiences with NASA's Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) in September.

As Ambassadors, Michael Shinabery and Jeff Killebrew joined 26 other selectees who participated with professional astronomers conducting science flights aboard NASA’s SOFIA.

"Part of what we're tasked with for doing this is to get the information out on this program," said Michael Shinabery, New Mexico Museum of Space History Educator. "It's a NASA program, they make some incredible discoveries but nobody really knows about it."

Shinaberry said this was one of the reasons Nichelle Nichols, who played Lt. Uhura in the original Star Trek, became involved with SOFIA.

"When you pair educators within a community or a region this information can be disseminated and people have a much better idea of what NASA's doing," Shinaberry said. "Earlier when I asked how many people had heard of earlier, two or three people (had heard of it.) When we've other audiences we might get one or two people in a group of 35 to 40 people."

Shinabery along with Killebrew, who is a teacher at New Mexico School for the Blind and Visually Impaired, both presented their trip to residents through graphs, photos and videos. At the end of the presentation, attendees were able to take copies home of the infrared images they observed on their SOFIA trip which were translated into braille.

Shinabery said since they've been been back from their trip, they've presented about 15 times in the schools and around the region.

"We'll be doing this for the next 10 years," Shinabery said. "Plus, he (Killebrew) is working on curriculum where he teaches and we're working on curriculum for the space museum for summer camps and other schools groups that come in."

Shinabery said he wants people to leave their presentation with the message that fascinating research is going on out in the world.

"We're learning new things everyday," he said. "Look around, see what a wonderful universe this is. Turn off the TV and look up."

Alderwood Testimonial

Autism is a developmental disorder that greatly affects how a person communicates with others and relates to the wider world.

Autism is a ‘spectrum disorder’, meaning the severity of impairment varies greatly between individuals. Indeed, whilst some autistic people may enjoy a similar level of independence to those without the condition, others are profoundly affected, necessitating lifelong care and support.

Triad of Impairments

People with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are affected by the so-called ‘triad of impairments’:

1. Social
Difficulties with interpersonal relationships and unstructured activities.

2. Language and Communication
Problems with processing information and interpreting body language/gesture.

3. Thought and Behaviour
Displaying a rigidity of thought, finding ‘change’ problematic.

Regardless of individual differences, anyone with an Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnosis will be impaired to some extent in these three areas, with the vast majority of cases co-existing with additional learning difficulties and sensory differences.

Causes of autism

Modern medical evidence suggests a biological causation, however no study has shown evidence of one single abnormality present in all cases of autism. This would suggest that ‘autism’ is a broad diagnostic label, covering a lot of subgroups, all with potentially diverse aetiologies.

At present there is no cure for ASD, however the impact of autism can be reduced by the use of person-centred, consistent support using approaches such as TEACCH and low arousal. By implementing such strategies, individuals can enjoy a varied and fulfilling life for as long as this approach is maintained.

Asperger’s Syndrome

There continues to be some debate as to whether Asperger’s syndrome is a condition separate from autism, or is included within the autism spectrum. Individuals with Asperger’s Syndrome are considered to have difficulties with social relatedness, restrictive behaviours and thought patterns, and sensory issues. Again, children and adults with Asperger’s can utilise strategies to support these areas of difficulty and succeed in school/work and home life.

If you would like more information about autism and/or Asperger’s syndrome please follow the links below. If you are looking for support for an individual with ASD please contact the Managing Director, Linda Fish at our main office.

Moose Attractant Suggestion

by Daniel Mainville
(Mountain Ontario Canada)

Hi my name is Daniel Mainville and I hunt moose in Northern Ontario at the beginning of rifle season. My question to you is some salesmen tell me we should buy some moose attractant and make wood box and put this in our hunting territory about 1 to 2 months before we start hunting. My question is:
1 - Is this a good way to go?
2 - If yes. What should I buy and how much?
3 - How many box should we make and how big?
4 - When should I go to install these boxes?

Thank you very much for your input it is very appreciated.
Thank you again, Daniel

Moose Attractant Suggestion
by: Mark - Site Owner

Hi Daniel,
There are many products available to attract wildlife. Supplemental feed is widely available for deer and is marketed as such, as for moose your choices are going to be limited.

One of your first and most important considerations is to find out if it is lawful to bait moose. In some area or provinces you are not permitted to place any bait, or attractants for the purpose of hunting. In other areas you may use these products but you may not hunt near them or the bait must be removed a certain period of time before you can hunt in the area.

I am not an expert when it comes to using the attractants, personally I do not use them. I would think though that any of the deer supplemental feed attractants would work for moose too! Just find out the brands that are available to your area and then ask for references.

The salesmen you refer to should know which ones are popular and who sells them. Talk to retail outlets and get some references.

I know my response is not a lot of help but I hope it is a place to start. Hopefully some other readers with experience in this area will have some input too!

Scent for Moose Hunting
by: larry mordue

Instead of making some type of box and putting some type of scent or food,I would spend my two months scouting. This what I do, find your self a lake from 2 miles long to 10 miles long or what ever. I do not hunt this lake, every lake has streams coming in or going out, they come from or go some were, my best spots are small lakes, with a 25 min walk from the main lake or by canoe. I don't go to far because you have to get out at night. I might put a canoe on the small water to go to the far end if it looks better, If you are tight, what I mean if your opening is only 100 yards wide,a spot that looks good, I put up a tree stand, but I will come down and go after them. I also hunt on the ground a lot and I do go after them if they won't come. Once you do it you will do it again. I hunt archery only for moose. As far as scent goes if I get one I drain the bladder with a syringe and I always carry a plastic bottle that doesn't leak in my side pack. I put scented rags around where I am sitting or my tree stand. Their are many ways to hunt moose, this a way to get you off the main water. Also try that moose scent in the big plastic jug, you can buy it in most sport store's. I have got rifle hunters to do this and they have been successful. I can teach you to call, use a shoulder blade, use a decoy.

Moose Tourtière Pie

by Rene Dechaine
(Bowie, Md, USA)

Moose Tourtière Pie

Moose Tourtière Pie

I was given some moose meat by some friends for my 50th birthday (great friends!). Since my birthday falls on December 5, I was just about to make tourtière for Christmas Eve. I modified my usual recipe to use the moose, and it came out wonderfully!

Moose Tourtière Pie

Prep Time: 4.5 hours

Yields: 3 pies/18 servings

1 1/2 lb. lean ground pork
1 1/2 lb ground moose meat
1 large onion, diced
1 stalk celery, chopped
6-8 cloves+
2 tsp allspice+
1 tsp sage+
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon+
1 tsp salt
1 bay leaf
3 cups water
3 lbs baking potatoes, peeled and cubed
3 pie crusts, 9 inch, top and bottom
1 egg for egg wash

1- In a large pot, mix together raw ground moose, pork, onions, celery, cloves, allspice, sage, cinnamon, salt, bay leaf and water. Simmer over low heat for 3 hours, but check occasionally to ensure pork is breaking up and water does not boil completely away. The pork should end up moist, not soupy or dry, and fully cooked Remove from heat and discard bay leaf.

2- While pork is simmering, place potatoes in water and boil until tender (about ten minutes). Drain and mash/rice the potatoes. Set aside.

3- When pork is finished cooking, mix in mashed/riced potatoes.

4- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

5- Line 9 inch pie plates with bottom crust, and spoon equal amounts of pork filling into each crust. Cover with top crust and flute edges to seal.

6- Coat each pie with egg wash and bake for 45 minutes or until crust is golden brown.

+Variation: Substitute cloves, allspice, sage and ground cinnamon with Middle East Seven Spices blend. The version I use has allspice, red chilli powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves and mahlab.

My recipe is posted on my website:

High quality ingredient with abundant beneficial nutrients

Glucosamine in dog food

Glucosamine sulphate (often just called glucosamine) is widely recommended for sufferers of joint problems (especially osteoarthritis) and is one of the most common non-vitamin, non-mineral, dietary supplements for both humans and dogs.

Although it's not clear exactly how glucosamine works, or even if it works, most scientists believe that it helps to prevent the break down of the joint cartilage. Unfortunately, in clinical trials, results have been mixed and glucosamine's effectiveness is still in question.

Glucosamine can be found naturally in animal bones and bone marrow and so is present in small amounts in all meat-based dog foods. Nevertheless, many dog foods, especially those designed for older dogs or large breed dogs, have added glucosamine to provide additional joint support. Commercially manufactured glucosamine usually comes from the hydrolysis of the shells of crustaceans (shrimps, crabs etc) where it is particularly abundant.

Find foods containing Glucosamine See the full Ingredient Glossary

Melanie Bong at Jazz Club Unterfahrt in Munich

Sign in to view read count
Melanie Bong (www.melainebong.de), a German singer specializing in the music of Brazil, performed five nights in a row with five different programs at the Jazz Club Unterfahrt (www.unterfahrt.de) in Munich. The first two nights were involved with the premiere of her new CD entitled Fantásia and the other three involved an examination of what might be termed “The Great Brazilian Songbook” with separate nights devoted to the music of Ivan Lins, Antonio Carlos Jobim and Joyce.
It is always a daunting task to sing in a language other than one’s native tongue and doubly so when performing the music of Joyce, who is not only a brilliant composer but also a gifted performer and interpreter of her own songs. Happily, Bong and her all-Brazilian supporting cast were more than up to the job. You know a concert is going to be good when it starts with a singer stepping up to the microphone and performing flawlessly Joyce’s up-tempo tongue-twister “Feminina.”
Bong has a husky voice, lower in range than Joyce’s and somewhat weak in the higher register (which sometimes causes intonation problems), but she more than makes up for this deficiency by perfect enunciation and a great sense of rhythm.
She followed this with sensitive and emotional renderings of “Mistérios,” “The Color of Love” and “Essa Mulher.” Her interpretation of “Essa Mulher” was particularly moving and one has to admire the singer’s willingness to tackle a song that was a signature piece for the legendary Elis Regina. Indeed, there is a certain Regina-like quality to Bong’s voice, not so much in its emotional intensity, but in the fact that its weaknesses (such as in the upper register) do not detract from her performance, but somehow give it greater authenticity. This is a rare quality among singers. Elis Regina had it; Billie Holliday had it; Carmen McRae had it; and now Melanie Bong has it.

Bong’s band consisted of three musicians: Fernando Correa and Pedro Tagliani on guitars and Marcio Tubino on soprano and tenor saxophones and flute. All three musicians are outstanding and created solos that were real tours de force. It only takes one Brazilian to make up a rhythm section, and with two Brazilian guitarists on hand there was so much rhythmic pulsation drums and bass would have been superfluous. Tubino is a gifted performer on sax and flute and his tenor playing leans toward the Stan Getz “cool” side.

The audience was attentive and appreciative, although it is always disconcerting to watch a German audience listening to jazz or Latin music because all the samba schools in Rio couldn’t get a German to tap his toes. In Brazil (or America) the people would have been dancing in the aisles. Melanie Bong is a very good singer who is deserving of wider recognition. She is one German who knows how to tap her toes and can get others to do likewise.

Suma - Information about this Herb (pfaffia paniculata)

Information about this Herb (pfaffia paniculata)

This herb like Siberian Ginseng is not in the Ginseng family but is considered to have similar properties even though it is an entirely different plant. It is also called Brazillian Ginseng though not of the panax genus. Suma helps to relieve stress and helps the body to handle the stresses both environmental and psychological place on it.

Suma is believed to increase energy, strengthen the immune system, fortify hormones (especially balancing estrogen levels), reduce tumors, and cancers and regulate blood sugar.

This herb enhances energy and vitality and shows great promise as a healing agent in chronic disorders believed to result from a lowered immune system. These diseases include CRS (chronic fatigue syndrome) and Epstein-Barr virus, as well as hormonal imbalances.

It has been used successfully with very good results on many varieties of cancer (esp. leukemia, Hodgkin's disease and diabetes). It is a good herb to use for rebuilding the immune system. It protects against viral infections and helps to purify the body. There is a unique chemical in Suma that the Japanese have discovered which tends to inhibit tumor cell growth.

The two hormones found in Suma, sitosterol and stipmasterol, have been found beneficial to the heart and they aid in lowering cholesterol levels in the blood. It is antioxidant in nature as it contains germanium so it fights free radicals.

Suma is an adaptogen herb, normalizing functions in the body healing and helping to prevent disease.

Suma is the dried root of pfaffia paniculata , a plant found in the Atlantic rain forest of Brazil. First introduced to the United States as Brazilian Ginseng, Suma is one of the most highly regarded herbs in South America, and is considered to be a true adaptogen. Used by native peoples for centuries, Suma is advocated as an effective adaptogen to support the immune system, adapt the body to external stresses, relieve pain, fight chronic fatigue syndrome, and accelerate wound healing. Suma has not yet been thoroughly tested by extensive scientific research, but it does have a long tradition of use as a folk medicine. In Spanish, Suma means 'for all things'.

The primary properties of Suma are considered to be adaptogen, aphrodisiac, blood-sugar regulator, chi tonic, demulcent, immune stimulant, and nutritive. Also known as Amazon Ginseng, Brazilian Carrots, and para Todo, Suma is typically available as a tea, tincture, or as capsules.

In Brazil, it has a tradition of use among herbalists, shamans and physicians as a tonic, aphrodisiac and healing agent for wounds. Herbalists using Suma often refer to research conducted by Dr. Milton Brazzach, head of the pharmaceutical department at the University of Sao paulo. Dr. Brazzach has tested Suma on thousands of patients suffering from various serious diseases. He reportedly found Suma to have great healing and preventative powers, yet has never published his clinical findings.

The primary known constituents of Suma include saponins ( nortriterpenoid and pfaffosides ), sitosterol, stigmasterol, allantoin, sesquiterpenes, polyphenols, and germanium. Researchers have isolated several active compounds in Suma, including beta ecdysterone, a plant sterol which has an anabolic and immune boosting effect in the body. Suma is also rich in a broad spectrum of vitamins, minerals ( particularly the rare mineral germanium ), amino acids, allantoin ( a cell building compound ) and 6 pfaffic acids.

To date, there are no reports regarding the toxicity and there are no known side effects. It is believed that large doses of this herb must be used for effectiveness.

Medicinal properties & Uses Suma Root contains 19 different amino acids, a large number of electrolytes, and trace minerals including iron, magnesium, cobalt, silica, zinc, and vitamins A, B1, B2, E, K, and pantothenic acid. Suma is used as a tonic for the cardiovascular system, the central nervous system, the reproductive system, and the digestive system. It is an effective treatment for hormonal disorders and symptoms of menopause because of two hormones, sitosterol and stigmasterol. Additionally, it is helpful in the treatment of sexual dysfunction, infertility, and sterility. It has been used to restore nerve and glandular functions and to balance the endocrine system. As an immunostimulant, it is used to treat exhaustion caused by Epstein-Barr disease and Chronic Fatigue System. Hypoglycemia, mononucleosis, high blood pressure, and stress are also treated with Suma Root. Due to its anabolic agent, beta-ecdysterone, and three ecdysteroid glycosides contained in Suma Root, Russian Olympic athletes used the herb to increase muscle-building and endurance without the side affects associated with steroids. In addition, Suma Root has been used for arteriosclerosis, diabetes, rheumatism, and bronchitis
