Personal success is truly about being the best person you can be. It means fully expressing yourself and finding passionate outlets for your talents. It means helping others and changing the world for the better. It means setting fire to your ideas and taking action. Success is often the next move… if you are willing to take it.
Your personal beliefs and expectations about what is possible in life determines everything that happens to you. When you increase your expectations, you change the possibility of success, sometimes instantly. On the other hand, if you believe you can't do something, you create a mental roadblock to success. A single negative belief can stop you cold.
The good news is, you have complete control over one big thing in life — your attitude! You decide what attitude you will take in any given situation. Either positive or negative, your attitude will have a great impact on the results you get. Simply changing your mental language from I can't to I can, is a great way to move forward. Attitude starts with your thoughts, and these personal success quotes are a quick way to refocus your thinking in a positive direction. Write them down or print them out. Post them on your wall or arrange them on your desk. Keep them where they are top of mind.
I find when I'm reminded by inspirational quotes, my attitude and my days are better. To take a further step click the link below to get a positive start.
Question: What Is Personal Success To You?
In the modern classroom, many students ask how to study effectively. They don't want to waste time with ineffective methods. When you have to learn something new, it's a great idea to look at the best way to learn the topic rapidly, with good retention. Capture the big picture and then drill your way down to the specifics.
When you know the concept and structure in your area of interest it can help you divide a large area of study into manageable chunks. Let's take a look at how to study effectively by using some free printable study tools that can make your study time more productive. These in conjunction with some helpful study tips and techniques will help you take better notes, get better grades, and do better on tests.
When gathering information, it's good to capture ideas, keywords and action steps in one area. To do this, I've created visual/keyword data acquisition sheets. These allow you to visualize ideas as well as capture keywords, ideas, and action steps. If you are in a lecture, webinar, or other general sessions, start with a general capture sheet like the one below.
This sheet has a large visual area, with some fine cross hairs to visually capture ideas. You can use the whole area, or divide it into smaller chunks. As key ideas are presented, enter text or keywords on the side. There is a check box next to each where you can check off items as they are completed. Possible action steps go at the bottom. There are two different sheets in our free download. One has a blank box at the bottom for action items, the other has a ruled area. Print the one that suits you best.
This classic brainstorm wheel works well with a small group or in a meeting session. It's simple to use. Write down your question/topic in the center circle, set a time period of one minute, and go around the room getting responses from everybody. Write down the responses on the end of the lines. This works well to develop key ideas for the Big Picture Worksheet above.
If you have a group, have one person as the moderator and writer so the ideas will flow unrestricted. Set a rule that there are no wrong answers. Sometimes the crazy ideas are what really work. If you are using it alone, set the timer for no more than two minutes and capture everything that comes to mind. There are no wrong answers at this stage.
For informational meetings or seminars, the Cornell method provides a systematic way to condense and organize notes. The Note Taking Worksheet is divided into two columns: the note-taking column (on the right) is twice the size of the questions/key word column (on the left). There is a space of five to seven lines, at the bottom of the page for your summary.

10 Little Known Factors About Goal Setting You May Not Have Heard.
Here are 10 different quotes and viewpoints about goal setting factors that you may not have heard. While I truly believe in Goal Setting, there are times and circumstances that they may not work or be appropriate.
As a creative, I'm good at taking on a LOT of projects. Any new idea is fodder for action. Yet over the years, I've discovered one important thing. If I don't finish, I might as well not start. Finishing things is a creative's Achilles heel.
This year, I've decided to put new projects on hold, until my current ones are finished. I want to finish the year strong. This means taking account of where I am with current projects and calendaring new projects into the next year.
It also means cleaning up work spaces, organizing files, and getting rid of a lot of clutter in my life.
Computer Files: Organizing files, documents and graphics in appropriate folders. Backing things up. Removing all unnecessary icons from my desktop. Emptying the trash. Running maintenance (CCleaner) on my machines. Updating security.
My Workspace: Cleaning off my desk, organizing files, and throwing or giving away a lot of unnecessary items.
My Books: Finishing chapters, editing files, and organizing resources.
My House: A good end of the year cleaning and organizing.
My Life: Taking a gratitude inventory (Things I'm thankful for), a year in review overview, and outlining some plans for the New Year. Getting a year end physical.
In year's past, many of these items either never got done, or were put off until spring. If I want to finish strong and start off the year on a positive note, spending this month in preparation will be very helpful. As tough as it is for a creative to say no, I realize that it is necessary to move forward.
How about you? What are your year-end plans?


I'm not sure exactly when it happened, but L.L.Bean has slowly become one of those stores I'm constantly shopping at - if you can tell from my Friday Finds, there's nearly always something catching my eye!
I love the preppy but not overly preppy vibe, their fun takes on classics, the cute leather details, and the nautical vibes. I'm also crazy about whoever is picking out their color palettes right now - items like this sweater are so fun! I also love this windbreaker I got last fall - it comes in red and navy now, and I'm holding myself back from buying another!
L.L.Bean also has some really great lookalike pieces for lower prices, like these shearling slippers that are almost identical to UGG's but for $70 instead of $120, or this sweater (I have a similar one that I love!) that's the same quality as a Patagonia but for $80 instead of $100. Plus L.L.Bean actually has sales!
Also, I mean obviously, there are the boots. The Bean boots. I bought a pair of shearling-lined boots this fall, and it was probably my best purchase ever. I'm pretty sure I wore them every day during that super cold spell at the end of December (and several times a week since then too), and they kept my feet warm even in our crazy cold weather. If you're going to go for it, you have to get the shearling insoles too. They are the most amazing things ever, it's like walking on a cloud.


Found a record of Thomas Crabtree died in January 1850, at the age of 62, from consumption (likely TB). He was listed as a farmer, born in Maryland. Record is transcription of National Archives Microcopy T1159 Roll 14, Call number 929.3771Fe, Mortality Schedules - Ohio 1850, Schedule 3. Was he possibly Joseph's father?
According to the chart, they "were united in matrimony at Bear Creek, Ohio on the 28th day of December 1871, the ceremony being performed by John Hilt in the presence of A. B. McCall & others."

What's involved in creating and expanding an innovative restaurant concept?
What's involved in creating and expanding an innovative concept?
For these 5 local restaurateurs, the long nights and endless to-do lists have been worth it to see their dreams come to fruition. But it hasn't always been easy.
By Camille Platt | Photography by Rich Smith
"We're going to focus on the heart of what we're doing, making people happy, and the results are going to follow."
Mojo Burrito
Eve Williams' father is her hero. She grew up with nine siblings, and his specialty in the kitchen was vegetarian chili. They called him Papa Bear.
"He was a great cook. Everything was from scratch with healthy, fresh ingredients. I grew up on natural peanut butter, homemade wheat bread, raw milk, no sodas or junk food, and not many sweets," she remembers. After a varied career in food and hospitality that included opening two coffee shops in New York and cocktail waitressing while wearing a holster with tequila and ginger ale in Buckhead, Georgia, she moved to Chattanooga and noticed a gap in the food scene. No one was making burritos. "No chef required. I honestly thought to myself, 'How hard can it be? Beans. Rice. Cheese.' Little did I know what was in store for me," she recalls. She honored her father with her take on his vegetarian chili as she set the menu.
Now with Mojo Burrito locations in St. Elmo, Red Bank, Ooltewah, and East Brainerd (now a catering location), Williams says for the first 12 years, every move or build-out was to continue to cook for the original location in St. Elmo. The store was so busy she had to open a supplemental kitchen in 2004. She still considers St. Elmo and Red Bank to be her strongest locations, admitting expansion has taught her that her business thrives less in a strip center and more in an independent building.
Opening new locations does mean understanding the legal requirements of employing nearly 100 people, Williams adds. "Anyone's key to success in any business, not just the restaurant business, is to take care of your employees," she says. At Mojo Burrito, tips are shared across the board, and every employee receives paid vacation, life insurance, health insurance, dental insurance, vision insurance, and IRAs with company match. "We are very accommodating with schedules and lifestyles. We have a lot of interesting people with interesting hobbies," she says. "They know they can always come to me. We're like a family; we help each other out. You have to take care of those who take care of you."

Historically, Eve Williams has leased real estate for Mojo Burrito, which often meant paying for improvements on buildings owned by someone else. This year, she is renovating a building she purchased in downtown Red Bank for the relocation of her existing Red Bank location.
Lupi's Pizza Pies
The original menu at Lupi's started with a borrowed KitchenAid mixer. Dorris Shober says the calculations to change the recipe from one dough ball to 32 was perfect the very first time.
It was a triumph mirrored by the immediate success of Chattanooga's first Lupi's on Broad Street in 1996. However, struggles came with location number two just three years later. A bigger store was sure to be twice as profitable, Shober had thought. In reality, it would be a lesson in perseverance. For a time, business was slow. Hixson simply wasn't familiar with her product. "We did a lot of advertising, gave away free pizzas just to get people to come in the door, and truthfully just hung on by our fingernails because we knew we had a great product and we had good service," she recalls. "I never considered closing the doors."
Now with four popular Chattanooga locations (Hixson included!) and one in Cleveland, Shober is proof that being patient is key to expansion and success.
As sole owner of each location, she recognizes the importance of building and growing an impressive staff. "Every single person that works at Lupi's started off in the kitchen, on pizza, or on the floor serving. All my managers started off at the very bottom rung. It has been wonderful to watch them grow and flourish," Shober says. "The employees' experience is as important to me as the customer's experience."
In 2005, Shober married John Shober, who owns Flying Turtle Farm. The farm now helps supply Lupi's with tomatoes, basil, green peppers, cucumber, flowers, eggs, pork, and beef. She invites her employees to help plant and harvest vegetables and herbs at the farm regularly.
Through trial, error, and determination, Shober has learned that while enough capital to persevere through tough times is key to growing a restaurant to multiple locations, having excellent systems is also imperative. "There's no guesswork when it comes to ordering or what to prep. That's how we've been able to grow – by having amazing systems. That's essential," she says. "You have to have that to be able to grow beyond one or two locations."

"To be successful in the long run, you've got to treat people with respect," says Lupi's founder, Dorris Shober.
Clumpies Ice Cream Co.
Picking up someone else's entrepreneurial vision and carrying it into the future requires both vision and respect for the brand. See Rock City, Inc. bought local ice cream concept Clumpies in 2013, and Doug Chapin, director of the brand, has helped expand it from the original location on Frazier Avenue to include stores in St. Elmo (2015) and Southside (2018).
He also renovated the production kitchen and hired a pastry chef to bring all processing in-house. "We are now making almost all of our toppings and inclusions in-house; we're also making all of our ice cream mix now and pasteurizing it in-house," he says. "That was scary and an investment, but we were able to do it with confidence because we knew we had the team to pull it off."
Choosing new locations for the Clumpies expansion came one opportunity at a time, turning to the See Rock City Innovations team when it was time for construction. See Rock City already owned an ice cream shop at the Incline Railway in St. Elmo, so it was a low-cost entry to change the business to reflect the brand. Chapin knew a third permanent location would have to meet specific markers. "We know we will be successful if we can create a space that's full of activity but also serves as a community gathering spot. Combine that with visitor traffic, and you've got the right ingredients," he explains. His renovation of the former English Rose Tea Room, within walking distance of the Chattanooga Choo Choo, achieved just that.
Carrying an already successful brand into the future is perhaps freeing when compared to launching a concept from scratch, Chapin says. "The already-established brand allows you to be creative and work on problems as opposed to taking on everything all at once," he explains. Through the process, he scooped up two pieces of advice: Expect the unexpected (freezers can fail and ice cream melts), and stay committed for the right reasons. "Our whole business is based around that mission of 'memories worth repeating.' When we bought Clumpies, we said we're going to be open every single day at the same time and close at the same time. We're going to focus on the heart of what we're doing, making people happy, and the results are going to follow," he shares.
Clumpies.com
"Our goal wasn't to buy Clumpies and turn it into Birdhouse Ice Cream. We bought Clumpies because we loved it and wanted it to be the best Clumpies it could be," says Doug Chapin, who has served as the brand's director since See Rock City, Inc. purchased it in 2013.
Champy's Famous Fried Chicken
Lonely for the juke joints of the Mississippi Delta, in 2009, Seth and Crissy Champion decided Chattanooga needed a restaurant bent on homemade hot tamales, fried chicken, and crawfish. Since then, Champy's has expanded to eight locations in Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia, two owned by the Champions and six operated through licensing agreements.
Champion says locations two through eight weren't risky at all when compared to the first. He and Crissy had created the menu alone on an 8.5 x 11'' sheet of white paper, capitalizing on a 40-year-old family recipe: his great-grandmother's fried chicken. They gave customers a 40-ounce drink to make Crissy's job easier as she handled the waitressing alone. "I launched the original Champy's with about $30,000 total. And when I opened the doors of the restaurant, I had $1,700 left. We had to make something happen." Five hundred free two-piece meal cards later, they started to see traffic, and business accelerated after features in Southern Living and Garden & Gun.
Champion chooses new cities for his restaurants based on the interest of potential licensees and a goal to speckle the drive Chattanoogans may make through Alabama toward the beach. Cities with a history in soul music (think Muscle Shoals, Alabama) are even better. When it comes to agreeing to a new licensed location, however, Champion plays hard to get. "I always try to deter them for the most part. I make it very difficult. The people who are persistent are worth investing your time in."
Finding real estate for Champy's often happens when a chain restaurant closes its doors to local preference for a "mom and pop" model. The investment for renovations depends on city codes – what is required for a grease trap, for example, or exterior facade. "Chattanooga was very easy to work with, being able to express artistry on the exterior of the building. Some places want stucco," he says, noting he uses Chattanooga artist Terry Cannon to illustrate designs for approval. "That takes some massaging, if you will, with city council, explaining the history behind our concept. Sometimes we have to give a little bit; sometimes cities are very progressive. Sometimes we just have to leave that location alone. Ultimately, this is a Delta blues fried chicken joint," he says.
ChampysChicken.com
At 12 years old, Seth Champion worked behind the counter at a Kentucky Fried Chicken in Indianola, Mississippi, with his parents, standing on a stool serving soft drinks to customers. They'd deliver chicken to B.B. King at the local Comfort Inn when he was in town to perform.
DosBros Fresh Mexican Grill
Research of successful brands is what drives Kush Shah and Milan Patel. The business partners didn't launch DosBros Fresh Mexican Grill in Chattanooga until they'd done considerable homework on similar restaurant concepts they saw thrive and expand.
If they could offer burritos with fresh ingredients for $10 with a drink, they realized, they'd see success. "We didn't really need to reinvent the wheel," cofounder Kush Shah says. "We just had to come up with something that consumers were already comfortable with."
The first DosBros location opened in Cleveland in 2015. "Opening our first location was intense. We leveraged everything we had and then some," says cofounder Milan Patel. "The city of Cleveland really supported us from day one. Without them there would be no DosBros."
Today, the "bros" own six locations (with operating partners on-site) and have franchised two locations in the Nashville area. "The process has definitely gotten smoother over time," says Patel. "It's like anything else in life – the more you do it, the better you get at it."
With a long history in the food and beverage industry, Shah says looking for real estate to open a new DosBros means looking for good neighbors. "We look for brands like Chick-fil-A and Starbucks. We look for Jimmy John's, Panda Express, and Panera Bread. We share the same demographic," he says. "If they are there, I know it is a prime market for us."
The pair was also intentional in developing the DosBros branding. "Red is a color that excites the brain," Shah explains. Just look to Coca-Cola and McDonald's for proof. The font for the logo was chosen with visibility as a top priority.
The decision to franchise DosBros came once Shah and Patel had opened four locations on their own. "Kush and I knew exactly what we wanted and how we could make it happen," Patel explains, hinting the company will be adding 10 franchises in North Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama this year. Shah adds, "In order to sustain your quality, in order to sustain your service, you need to find a local partner who has a stake, who understands what we need as a company. Franchising for us is definitely the future."
DosBros.com
"From our first location to our second, it took almost one and a half years," says DosBros cofounder Kush Shah. "I had people lined out the door from the first month that we opened to franchise us out, but we took our time." CS

Q: Android how to get a gif in the center of the screen and to the front like a 'ProgressDialog'? So when I click on an activity I want to show a loading gif, instead of a: 'ProgessDialog', but how can I bring this in the center of the screen and to the front without replacing other objects?

A: There's an excellent library for this called andorid-gif-drawable
You'd want to do this, after adding the library to your project:

    <pl.droidsonroids.gif.GifImageView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_centerInParent="true"
    android:layout_gravity="center"
    android:src="@drawable/src_drawable_here"
    />

Make sure it's inside a layout that allows center in parent (which means center horizontally and vertically), such as a RelativeLayout.

A: This is how I do it:
    <FrameLayout> <!-- this can also be a CoordinatorLayout -->

        ... (content)

        <FrameLayout
            android:id="@+id/scrim"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:background="@color/dark_translucent"
            android:visibility="gone">

            <ProgressBar
                android:id="@+id/progressBar"
                style="@style/Widget.AppCompat.ProgressBar.Horizontal"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_gravity="center"
                android:layout_margin="24dp"
                android:indeterminate="true"/>

        </FrameLayout>
    </FrameLayout>

This is used in conjunction with a loader. When the loader is started, I set the scrim visibility to visible.  When the loader completes, I set the scrim visibility back to gone.
A couple things:

*

*You should track whether the scrim is visible or not in the saved instance state, so if the user rotates the device while the loader is in progress, you can show the scrim again immediately in onCreate.

*If you are covering touchable controls, you should make all your controls disabled until completion.  Alternatively, you could set an onTouchListener on the scrim layout to consume the touch events so the content controls are effectively disabled.

A: <FrameLayout
        android:id="@+id/scrim"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:background="@color/dark_translucent"
        android:visibility="gone">

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/imageView"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="center"
            android:layout_margin="24dp"/>

    </FrameLayout>
</FrameLayout>

Add to your build.gradle(Module.app)
dependencies {
     compile 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:3.6.1'
}

In your Activity
    Glide.with(this)
            .load(imageGif)
            .asGif()
            .fitCenter()
            .crossFade()
            .into(imageView);

The Cabinet of the British Prime Minister Tony Blair, proposed in 1997 the term of "Creative Industry", first of all, planning to set up a preparative group of creative industries focusing on the development of cultural and creative side; they define it as a combination of technological creativity and talent, which has the potential to increase the intellectual property, covering 13 industries such as: construction, crafts, design, antiques, fashion design, music, performing arts, visual arts, advertising, film, media and computer game publishing, software and television.
During 2002 a proposal for cultural in creative industries was held, although until 2008 a National development key was done. It is currently defined by the Ministry of Economy of cultural and creative industries.
IMCCI was established in 2011 with the aim to create an opportunity to share Taiwan's experience within the creative industries around the world. During 2013 the program had its first generation of talented graduates who have moved on to leading positions in the Cultural and Creative Industries throughout the world.
According to the Cultural and Creative Industries for small medium enterprises in Taiwan, Cultural and Creative Industries relate to all those industries that have their origins in innovation or cultural growth, which have the potential to create wealth or jobs through the production and utilization of intellectual property, thus enhancing the living environment for society as a whole. Since the late 20th century, Taiwan started paying more attention to the creative industries. We have invested heavily in the fields of the design industry, broadcasting industry, the publishing industry, handicraft industry and the performing arts including within the Cultural and Creative Industries.
Nowadays, many countries are placing the creative industries as the core of their economic development. The recent changes in our world depend upon the creativity of designers, artists, filmmakers, musicians, architects and other creative professionals in a way that it has never been done before, thus IMCCI educational goals are to nurture "innovators and creators" in order to achieve sustainable development for a better world.

Tui Na is a system of massage that correlates with the same energetic pathways used by acupuncturists. It involves hands-on manipulation and is great for sports injuries and conditions of chronic or acute pain.
By creating a vacuum in a glass cup over the surface of a patient's body, Mark is able to draw stagnation out of areas of pain and discomfort to provide considerable relief for the patient.
Meditation is proven to increase white blood cell count and immunity, lower stress levels and stress hormones, increase happiness and improve quality of sleep. Mark can give you simple breathing exercises that will help you bring your body and mind into balance and improve your overall sense of well-being.
How much time do we spend on each treatment method?
"I am persuaded that the blend of eastern and western techniques used at Red Coral Acupuncture is amazing. It works. And Mark is a professional, educated specialist, and the location is a funky, lovely oasis."
"I went to Mark when some chronic conditions became acute, and I wanted to take strong action, but wasn't ready for pharmaceutical intervention... His thoughtfulness, active listening skills and problem-solving approach are very strong. Worth every penny."
"If you have never done acupuncture, put it on your "to do" list. It is amazing. I felt so relaxed. After the session my body felt great, so relaxed, no tension. The swelling in my arthritic joints went down and the pain subsided."

Evoke a sense of magic and sentiment arriving in an elegant, one of a kind, vintage horse drawn carriage. Transport yourself back in time to a quaint period and sit back and enjoy the clip clop of hooves. It's a peaceful and romantic way to arrive at your ceremony, and a sight your guests will never forget. Guaranteed to make you feel like royalty and all your dreams come true.
Brightwater's Gypsy Carriage is nearly a hundred years old and was discovered 4 years ago sitting in a travellers back yard waiting for us. It was love at first sight when this beauty was spotted and it just gets better looking each year with age.
Very little is known about the carriage and any information that anyone can add to its history or verify, would be most welcome. What we have been told so far is the undercarriage/chassis was from a Landau, originally built at the turn of the century in England and then shipped to Djakarta, Indonesia in 1920. The carriage was then built and commissioned to pull British Diplomats for a 35 plus years. It was then sold into private use as a taxi service in the 1950's before being bought off the docks of Kuala Lumpar in the 1960's by a timber merchant from Dunedin, New Zealand. It was next purchased by Alex Hulled in Timaru before selling it to Steve from Golden Bay in 2001, who himself was raised by the gypsies in the UK. When he realised that his carriage was to be pulled by a bonafide Gypsy Vanner bred by his ancestors, he was more than thrilled to let it go to its new home in 2006. In his own words….."it needs a real horse pulling it".
Restoration work began in 2008 and so far the whole carriage has been stripped of its peeling varnish, lead based paint and brought back to it natural wood state of teak. All the pin striping and small pictures were removed as well, but pictures were taken so it can all be painted back on its original condition. The worn out seats have been re-upholstered with a lush forest green velveteen fabric and the under carriage was painfully re-painted black. There is still much to do before it is complete, but even so it is an amazing piece of work and believed to be a one off in the world.....there is nothing else quite like it due to its unique curves of the wings, the intricately carved wood work and its colourful history. Being made of Indonesian Teak she is not a light carriage and Mr. Beau Jangles does well to pull it when fully laden with 5-6 people. Shown above in its original state when purchased in 2006 by Brightwater Gypsy Vanners.
Mr. Beau Jangles is your gypsy vanner that pulls this most magnificent carriage on your special day. He is one of 3 stallions on our farm and is known for his gentleness and very laid back personality. There is only a handful of these horses in the country and with all his hair flowing and beautiful colouring he is the equal of this carriage. Together they make a breath-taking sight to behold. The run down the water front in Tahunanui was met with crowds of waves and clapping with people hanging out of their cars taking pictures as they slowly passed by. It was a moving experience for the bride and groom, making them feel like king and queen on their very special day. More pictures of Mr. Beau Jangles can be seen here.
As Brightwater Gypsy Vanners has just moved from Nelson to Wellsford, it will take some time to set up again. We will be announcing prices here once we get back on our feet so please check back or contact us to inquire.
To hold your preferred date a 50% non refundable deposit is due upon booking with the remaining 50% due one month before your wedding date. This will be strictly adhered to and failure to meet payment dates will result in loss of your booking.
NOTE: Not all venues are feasible. Please let you host know where your venue is as difficult terrain can be almost impossible for the horse and carriage to go to, due to excessive weight restrictions. All carriage travel must be done in daylight hours only.
Why not make you child's birthday special with a visit from Mr. Beau Jangles and kiddy rides to follow. Can you imagine the excitement of little girls when their dream Barbie doll horse walks into their back yard as an unexpected surprise. Mr Beau Jangles is happy to have children around him scratching his ears and bum which puts him to sleep. We have had children as young as 1 ride him and your handler Kathy has been known to sit on him with a child on each hip. Each child takes home a mini poster of Mr Beau Jangles as a momento of their special day.
Includes a 3 hour visit plus mini poster for each child.
Have a special anniversary, proposal to make or just met the woman of your dreams. There is nothing more romantic than travelling on a horse drawn vehicle with the idyllic sound of hoof steps. Make her night unforgettable by picking her up in a elegant horse and carriage. Stop off at your favourite restaurant and afterwards take a trip along the waterfront with a bottle of champagne before escorting her back home. Special Occasions can be tailored to your needs and requirements, just ask and we will endeavour to accommodate your wishes.
If you would love to take a wine tour with a special twist then book a day with us and Mr Beau Jangles. Our carriage and Mr. Beau Jangles are for hire together or separately throughout both islands for whatever needs you may have. Feel free to discuss your requirements with us.

Mailbox Monday #252
January 5, 2014 by Serena
Mailbox Monday, created by Marcia at To Be Continued, formerly The Printed Page, has gone through a few incarnations from a permanent home with Marcia to a tour of other blogs. In 2014, it was decided by the community to have the meme remain at its own blog.
To check out what everyone has received over the last week, visit the blog and check out the links. Leave yours too.
These are the books that Wiggles received over the holidays:
1. It's a Busload of Pigeon Books by Mo Willems from Santa.
It's a busload of the Pigeon books! Climb on board for three picture books starring the famous beleaguered bird-Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!, The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog!, and Don't Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late!-by New York Times best-selling author/illustrator Mo Willems. Next stop: super fun reading!
2. Trains: Life and Look by Felicity Brooks, F. Brooks, and illustrator Jo Litchfield from mommy and daddy.
Who's on the steam train today? What's happening at the station? Find out by lifting all the flaps in this delightful board book. There are lots of things to spot and a few hidden surprises along the way.
3. Duck Sock Hop by Jane Kohuth, illustrated by Jane Porter from her Nana and Grampie.
In this tongue-twisting, toe-tapping picture book, ducks grab socks from a big sock box and head on down to the duck sock hop. In socks with stripes and socks with spots, socks with squares and socks with dots, these brightly, boldly illustrated ducks dance until their socks go rip; and ducks teeter, tumble, twist, and trip. But not to worry; in this preschool-perfect read-aloud, when one sock hop ends, the countdown to the next one begins. So, prepare for a feel-good, giggle-inducing read.
4. Where's Waldo Now? by Martin Handford from Santa.
The elusive little guy you loved as a kid has ventured into an affordable new format, ready to boggle a new generationl. Now he's easier to carry around — but just as hard as ever to find!
5. Mystery in Bugtown by William Boniface and illustrator Jim Harris from Anna and her family.
Bad doings in Bugtown have the local insects bug-eyed. But Inspector Cricket is on the case to find out who tried to flatten local low life Charlie Roach. The second of Accord Publishing's phenomenally successful Eyeball Animation(R) books pits the Inspector against the craziest Insectiary of suspects that the bug world has ever seen. A pair of roaming eyeballs built into this high quality hardcover picture book wiggle and jiggle from page to page as this bugland whodunit unfolds in witty and catchy verse that is as much fun for parents to read as it is for the kids to hear. A fact-filled Insect Glossary at the back of the book makes it a great learning tool as well.
6. A Sparkly Fairy Tale
One day in Fairy Land, Fairy Sparkle decides to find a beautiful flower to live in. Join in the twinkly fun with Sparkle and help her look for a special new home.
7. The Day the Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt and illustrated by Oliver Jeffers
Poor Duncan just wants to color. But when he opens his box of crayons, he finds only letters, all saying the same thing: We quit!
Beige is tired of playing second fiddle to Brown. Blue needs a break from coloring all that water, while Pink just wants to be used. Green has no complaints, but Orange and Yellow are no longer speaking to each other.
8. A Charlie Brown Christmas Pop-Up from her neighbors.
Celebrate the season with this beautiful pop-up version of the modern-day fairytale A Charlie Brown Christmas. Charlie Brown is determined to find the true meaning of Christmas as he looks for the perfect tree for the holiday. Faithful to the original television special that airs every holiday season, this is the perfect gift for any child or collectors library.
9. A Bug-a-Boo Day Play by David Kirk from Anna and her family.
The Sunny Patch kids can't wait to dress up in their costumes for Bug-a-Boo Day! They've decided to pu on a super-spiderific play to celebrate, but it's hard work! Can Shimmer save the play and make Bug-a-Boo Day extra special for everyone?
Here are the books I received:
10. After Her by Joyce Maynard, which I snagged at Novel Books.
It's the summer of 1979, and a dry, hot, northern California school vacation stretches ahead for Rachel and her younger sister Patty-the daughters a larger-than-life, irresistibly handsome and chronically unfaithful detective father who loves to make women happy, and the mother whose heart he broke.
Left to their own devices, the inseparable sisters spend their days studying record jackets, concocting elaborate fantasies about the life of the mysterious neighbor who moves in down the street, and playing dangerous games on the mountain that rises up behind their house.
11. Until She Comes Home by Lori Roy, which I snagged at Novel Books.
In 1958 Detroit, on Alder Avenue, neighbors struggle to care for neighbors amid a city ripe with conflicts that threaten their peaceful street.
Grace, Alder's only expectant mother, eagerly awaits her first born. Best friend Julia prepares to welcome twin nieces. And Malina sets the tone with her stylish dresses, tasteful home, and ironfisted stewardship of St. Alban's bake sale.
Life erupts when childlike Elizabeth disappears while in the care of Grace and Julia. All the ladies fear the recent murder of a black woman at the factory on Willingham Avenue where their husbands work may warn of what has become of Elizabeth, and they worry what is yet to become of Julia—the last to see Elizabeth alive.

We've seen over the years in the car business, most people will do "OK" negotiating the price. Then they go into the finance departments to finish their paper work on the car they are buying, and just get laid away for thousands of dollars additional profit to the dealership on what is called" back end products". Things such as extended warranty's, gap insurance coverages, fabric protections, under coatings , etch products, and interest rates that are way to high. We will show you how to put a stop all of this.

The Brother You Didn't have?

They just stand there and watch me negotiate the whole car deal for them. When I'm done they just have to sign the paper work for their car. I negotiated the price, their trade ins, the down payments, (which is alway's $0), monthly payments, interest rates, and any back end products in finance they wanted.
We wish we could go with every one to negotiate their next car deal. We have the passion for it, but not the time to do it. That is why we wrote this E Book, you can do it your self.

Three Thoughts: Fourth Line Shines, Defense Struggles vs. Golden Knights
By James Neveau	• Published at 12:01 pm on October 25, 2017
The Chicago Blackhawks had better hope that what happens in Vegas really does stay in Vegas after a lackluster 4-2 defeat at the hands of the Golden Knights on Tuesday night.
The Blackhawks, whose record now stands at 5-3-2 on the season, got off to a good start thanks to John Hayden, but they couldn't slow down the aggressive Golden Knights attack as they lost the first ever game played between the two franchises.
So what went right and what went wrong for the Blackhawks in the game? Here are our Three Thoughts from the loss.
Michelle Obama 4 mins ago
Gage Park 28 mins ago
Police Seek Vehicle in Gage Park Hit-And-Run
Vegas is REALLY Well Constructed
Even though the Knights have lost Marc-Andre Fleury and Malcolm Subban to injuries already this season, they are still playing solid hockey, as players like James Neal, William Karlsson, and David Perron continue to drive possession and score goals.
Against the Blackhawks, it was immediately clear that the Golden Knights are an aggressive team, going hard after the puck and winning physical battles all over the ice. That is a testament to the team that George McPhee has put together in Sin City, and could bode well for them if they continue to hang around the Pacific Division playoff race.
No one really saw the Golden Knights getting off to this kind of start, but with a 7-1-0 record though eight games (the best start for an expansion team in NHL history), it's hard not to be impressed with what they've accomplished.
Fourth Line Continues to Be a Strength
The Blackhawks' fourth line had the potential to be an island of misfit toys this season, but they've frankly been one of the more remarkable parts of the team thus far.
Tommy Wingels has fit like a glove as the fourth line center, forcing Tanner Kero out of the lineup. Lance Bouma has played decent hockey at times, being far from the liability that some forecasted him to be when the team signed him over the offseason.
Finally, John Hayden has been as good as advertised, mixing a skilled physical game with some surprisingly quick and soft hands around the net. His goal on Tuesday was a thing of beauty, as he stole the puck on the penalty kill, reversed direction, and blew past two Vegas defenders before potting his first goal of the season.
There are going to be some changes coming to the Blackhawks' line combinations, but it will be interesting to see if Joel Quenneville spares this line the executioner's axe.
Defense….Not So Much
The Blackhawks' defense, a question mark to begin the season, has hardly been able to answer questions about its effectiveness so far, as they've routinely had difficulty in clearing the puck and in containing offensive opportunities in their own end of the ice.
Two of the main issues on the back end have been Gustav Forsling, who has continued to play a very tentative game as his development has slowed, and Brent Seabrook, who has lost a step and is currently being played with Duncan Keith to try to shield him from the mistakes that he's been making.
The lone bright spot on the defense has been Jan Rutta, who has proven that he may have what it takes to be a top-two defenseman in the Blackhawks' rotation. He has played a very smart game along the boards, containing pressure well and dealing with the speed of opponents better than could have been expected by a rookie in his first NHL season.
His play, along with Keith's, has helped stem the tide a bit, but the Blackhawks need to get their back end situation figured out, or else they're going to have to score a LOT of goals for this team to succeed this season.

Heads Up: Matt Kish is having an art sale, and then a bonfire!
25 October 2012 11 August 2016 RC
After having cleared his etsy shop of old, unsold work a while ago, Matt Kish, author of Moby-Dick in Pictures: One Drawing for Every Page (Tin House Books, 2011) and a forthcoming illustrated edition of Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness (also with one drawing for every page), I say, Matt Kish has come to a decision:
I've been feeling really bogged down. It's time, actually far past time, to move forward. So I've added all remaining art — Moby-Dick illustrations, first series of Heart of Darkness illustrations, miscellaneous monsters and other stuff — back to my Etsy shop one last time.
The art will remain available and for sale until the end of Sunday November 11, this year. After that, I will take what is left, give a few pieces to close personal friends and destroy the rest. I've done that in the past and that kind of creative destruction has always fuelled new avenues of creativity for me.
So that's it. About two more weeks to get whatever pieces you may have had your eye on. Email me if you have any questions.
While I actually think Kish would be foolish to destroy his published artwork, especially if he intends to stick with illustration for the long haul, I have a feeling that, one way or the other, most of the unsold work will eventually find a home.
At the very least, I know I've been doing my part to save Kish's originals from the fire. Let me explain…
As regular readers of RCN might remember, I bought a Moby-Dick collage from Matt Kish back in June of this year. At the time, because I admire Moby-Dick in Pictures as a whole, and the prices of the individual works of art were very reasonable, I considered buying more. Considered. But didn't. For various reasons. And promptly moved on to other concerns. Until, that is, I read about Kish's decision on his blog, at which point I scrambled back to the artist's etsy shop and browsed through the remaining pieces, hoping that at least one or two of the originals that I had considered buying the first time around would still be available for purchase. Two were. So I bought them both.
And now I'm here for show and tell.
The first piece that I decided, this time around, to add to my wife's and my collection of original art is Kish's illustration in collage and ink, five inches wide by eight inches tall, for page 301 of the Signet Classic edition of Herman Melville's Moby-Dick. Specifically, Kish's image was inspired by the following passage: "…there, that blood-dripping head hung to the Pequod's waist like the giant Holofernes's from the girdle of Judith." Melville's description is obviously a play on the traditional metaphor of the ship as woman, so it's no surprise that a woman — a curvaceous temptress clipped from a reproduction of Ingres' The Turkish Bath (1862) — makes an appearance in Kish's illustration, hovering at the top of the page like the Pequod bobbing on the ocean. Through the spatters of red and blue paint — blood and water — that connect the Pequod/Judith with the flabby, lifeless head of the whale/Holofernes, one notices the noun phrase "BURNING DAYLIGHT" imprinted on the "found paper" substrate. The phrase is there because the paper is the half title page — another (metaphorical) severed head — from an early edition of Jack London's novel of the Yukon gold rush, Burning Daylight, but the words themselves also have symbolic significance (though I'm not going to work it out for you). Across the form of the head, the artist has scrawled in an elaborate script the letters "sphy," followed by a period, which seems enigmatic until you realize that it is simply an abbreviation of the title of the chapter — "The Sphynx" (notice that the "nx" is stacked vertically after the period: cheeky!) — which, in turn, is a reference to how Captain Ahab views the whale's severed head. In fact, on the very next page, Ahab himself gives us his thoughts on the matter in an amazing soliloquy:
It was a black and hooded head; and hanging there in the midst of so intense a calm, it seemed the Sphynx's in the desert. "Speak, thou vast and venerable head," muttered Ahab, "which, though ungarnished with a beard, yet here and there lookest hoary with mosses; speak, mighty head, and tell us the secret thing that is in thee. Of all divers, thou hast dived the deepest. That head upon which the upper sun now gleams, has moved amid this world's foundations. Where unrecorded names and navies rust, and untold hopes and anchors rot; where in her murderous hold this frigate earth is ballasted with bones of millions of the drowned; there, in that awful water-land, there was thy most familiar home. Thou hast been where bell or diver never went; hast slept by many a sailor's side, where sleepless mothers would give their lives to lay them down. Thou saw'st the locked lovers when leaping from their flaming ship; heart to heart they sank beneath the exulting wave; true to each other, when heaven seemed false to them. Thou saw'st the murdered mate when tossed by pirates from the midnight deck; for hours he fell into the deeper midnight of the insatiate maw; and his murderers still sailed on unharmed – while swift lightnings shivered the neighboring ship that would have borne a righteous husband to outstretched, longing arms. O head! thou hast seen enough to split the planets and make an infidel of Abraham, and not one syllable is thine!" [p. 302]
Anyway, I think that's enough from me about the image. Take a look for yourself and see what you think:
The second piece that I selected is Kish's illustration, eight inches wide by eleven inches high, for page 384 of Melville's famous novel. As with the first piece, Kish was inspired by a specific passage — in this case, part of a speech delivered in a court of law by a famous defence counsellor, "the witty Erskine," who attempts to use a dispute between a husband and the wife that he abandoned and later attempted, unsuccessfully, to reclaim (even though she had by then remarried), as precedent in support of his (Mr. Erskine's) contention that property that was lost at sea in unusual circumstances by one whaling ship and then claimed as salvage by another ought not to be returned to the original owners but instead ought to be recognized as the legal property of the salvagers. The passage, which Melville clearly wrote with his tongue planted firmly in his cheek, reads as follows: "…though the gentleman had originally harpooned the lady, and had once had her fast, and only by reason of the great stress of her plunging viciousness, had at last abandoned her; yet abandon her he did, so that she became a loose-fish…." In Kish's visual interpretation of the lawyer's colourful analogy, the lady takes on a form that is part human being and part one-eyed, one-winged mythological beast, part woman and part white whale, part flame-haired seductress and part one-breasted Amazonian warrior:
In the uterus of the woman/whale/warrior — or is she a (fallen) angel? — visible right through the surface of her white dress/skin/armour, an ovum awaits the arrival of the several sperm that, presumably, will compete to fertilize it. What is the meaning of this? I could hazard a guess… but instead, I think I'll just let you puzzle it out for yourself…
BONUS IMAGES (added 11 April 2013):
Just realized that I forgot to add two other Moby-Dick pictures by Matt Kish that my wife and I have in our art collection:
[CLICK IMAGES TO ENLARGE]
ABOVE: "In some particulars, perhaps, the most imposing physiognomical view to be had of the Sperm Whale, is that of the full front of his head. This aspect is sublime."
ABOVE: "Then come out those fiery effulgences, infernally superb; then the evil-blazing diamond, once the divinest symbol of the crystal skies, looks like some crown-jewel stolen from the King of Hell."
See also here and here on Matt's blog.
Although I had emailed Matt near the end of his art sale to inquire about the two paintings displayed above — they are paintings that I definitely thought should be preserved for posterity — I want to emphasize, without revealing too much, that the way that the artwork eventually ended up in our collection was totally unexpected and really rather heartwarming…
Have I mentioned that Matt Kish is a mensch? In another online context, I know I have, but it definitely bears repeating: Matt Kish is a mensch!
AND ANOTHER (added a bit later):
ABOVE: Max Ernst, The Chinese Nightingale (1920), photomontage, 8.8 x 12.2 cm.

Alan Bradford says:
Call me a Philistine if you want to, but I just checked out Kish's art on his webpage, and if he offered to GIVE me a piece, I'd politely decline. Burn it.
It's okay if you don't like Matt Kish's work, Alan. But telling him to "burn it" does not seem "polite" to me. Better to just ignore it, and if it is really as unworthy as you think it is, it will disappear of its own accord in the fullness of time.
Anyway, Alan, I wonder if you have had a chance to read Matt Kish's art book, Moby-Dick in Pictures. While Kish's individual pieces can sometimes seem weak/underdeveloped when taken out of context, i.e., separated both from one another and from the quotations from Melville's novel, the accumulative impact in print, where one can more easily trace the symbolic and aesthetic connections among the various images as well as appreciate the various ways that the images relate to the texts that they are intended to illustrate, is very strong. Because even though Kish is not a trained artist, he is by no means naive. Rather, as I tried to convey in the above post, his work in Moby-Dick in Pictures is inventive, thoughtful, and thought-provoking, in a way that a lot of the realistic, technically proficient contemporary illustration and fine art that I see praised on other blogs — lines & colors, for instance — is not.
Truth be told, I'm not particularly enamoured of the work Kish is doing for his forthcoming book inspired by Heart of Darkness — the style just doesn't appeal to me; I much prefer the messy, layered, sketchbook aesthetic of the earlier work — but I respect any artist who is productive and does exactly what he wants to do, regardless of the naysayers.
Plus, Kish is a nice guy. I wish him well.

Its great to see on their site that they have women riders in mind, "Noticing that the lady mountain bike riders weren't getting a fair deal with their mountainbike clothes we decided to design all of our ladies MTB clothes to suit their distinctive shape from XS right through to WXL we cater for all…". As a stupidly-tiny 4′ 11″ rider, I have had to wear my fair share of lumpy misshapen jerseys that bulge out in all the wrong places. Non-sporty clothes are designed for women-shaped bodies, so why not sports clothes (its a no-brainer!).

Big Heart Part 1
By Helen Lemus
Flyer #173 rolled down Owl Street on the way to Wilmore Elementary as he did every morning for as long as he could remember. He usually needed to pick up 18 kids.
He knew numbers. There were numbers on his body: model numbers, part numbers, serial numbers, operator numbers and his favorite identification numbers. He was Flyer #173. That meant that he was the bus Flyer model whose ID was 173.
Flyer #173 had seventeen passengers on board at the time. He arrived at Maggie's corner and responded quickly to his bus operator, Operator 21. She boarded the bus and went to the back near his heart, the engine. Maggie and Flyer #173 were friends.
"Maggie. Maggie, it's over," he whispered to her with his rumbling voice.
"What's over?" asked Maggie. She took her My Little Pony backpack and pulled out her little notebook and pen. "I am ready."
"What is that for, Maggie?" he asked.
"This sounds important. Mrs. Laudes my English teacher taught me how to take notes so I don't miss anything," she said solemnly.
"That is good. I will be retired in two days," he rumbled. He crossed Flamingo Boulevard and proceeded North.
"What's retired?" asked Maggie.
"I will not be able to take you to school anymore. They will park me in the garage and let me rust away," he said. "That's what they do to buses born before 1985."
"Oh, please #173, don't be afraid. We'll find a way," said Maggie. She put her notebook away. Flyer #173 stopped at Crow Street right in front of the school. Maggie walked out of the bus but instead of walking into the school, she ran behind a bush in front of the house next door. Maggie had a plan. After the bus driver drove her friend away, she walked North. She knew where the Grand Union Bank was. She was going to save Flyer #173.
Sooner than she could sing the National Anthem all the way through, she arrived at the bank on Heron Avenue. Maggie's father knew the bank manager Mr. Quiñones. She walked into the lobby and slipped into the elevator. Soon, she was in his office. She noticed his secretary was talking to a woman wearing a purple hat. Maggie waited until the secretary bent down to get something from her desk's bottom drawer to sneak into the Manager's office.
"Mr. Quiñones. Hello, how are you?" she asked. He was looking at his computer, but paused and smiled when he saw her.
"Maggie. What a surprise. What are you doing here? You know that you should be in school," he said.
"Oh, Mr. Quiñones, I need your help. I need a loan," she said.
"A loan? You're still a girl. This is a bank, my sweet girl, and you need collateral, here," he replied.
"I need to save Flyer #173," she said.
"You could be trying to save the world, which I am sure you will someday, but right now, you need collateral," he replied.
"This is important. Flyer #173 is my friend," she said.
The manager rose and walked towards her. He put his arm around her shoulder and led her out of the office.
"Now, go back to school like a good girl," he said.
"No buts. Go back to school," he said as he opened the door and shooed her out. Maggie stood there for a second, then had another idea.
Maggie left the bank and headed to the East on Heron Avenue. She needed to get to Falcon Street where the big business buildings were. Mrs. Li, the CEO of the largest chain of supermarkets in the city, was a friend of Maggie's mother. She would help.
