Longines is the title sponsor and official timekeeper of the 2012 Federation Equestre Internationale (FEI) World Endurance Championships
connoisseur June 16, 2012 0
Swiss watchmaker Longines has become the title sponsor and official timekeeper of the 2012 Federation Equestre Internationale (FEI) World Endurance Championships (25th August 2012) at Euston Park, near Newmarket, Suffolk, UK. The FEI CEI 4* competition over 160km, organised by Janah Management, will officially be known as the Longines FEI World Endurance Championships.
The 14th running of the FEI World Endurance Championships will see around 160 riders from up to 40 countries lining up for the contest around the undulating Euston Park track.
Reigning world champions, Spain's Maria Alvarez and Nobby hold the record as the only combination to have claimed two world titles in succession and Spain will be hoping that Ms Alvarez is again among their line-up. The UAE currently holds the team world title. Alvarez's winning time of 7hr:35min.44sec at the Alltech Kentucky World Equestrian Games in 2010 will be a target for the winning rider at this summer's World Endurance Championships.
Walter von Känel, President of Longines said: "Longines is proud to be title sponsor and official timekeeper of the FEI World Endurance Championships. Thanks to its long dedication as official timekeeper of equestrian sports since 1881, Longines is considered as an essential partner to a sport which embodies the brand's values."
The Swiss watchmaker is a significant partner of the sport of endurance – the HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Endurance Cup presented by Longines is now in its fifth year.
Ian Williams, FEI Non-Olympic Sports Director, said: "The Longines FEI World Endurance Championships 2012 will be an event of the highest sporting quality and we are grateful to the title sponsor for their support."
Championship organiser James MacEwan said: "We are fortunate to have the support of such a prestigious company at such a high level. We are looking forward to producing a memorable championship in a great year for sport in this part of the world."
Alongside title sponsor Longines, organisers welcomed two Dubai industry giants, Meydan and Emaar Properties as additional supporters of the championships.
Ahmad Al Matrooshi, Managing Director, Emaar Properties, said: "Equestrian events are part of the Arab world's heritage, and Emaar has a strong history of supporting such noble initiatives.
"We are honoured to support the FEI World Endurance Championships, which brings together participants from over 40 countries, underlining the strong global interest in the event."
Saeed H. Al Tayer, Chairman of Meydan Group said: ""The opportunity to support the 2012 World Endurance Championships compliments the focus of the Meydan Group, as the sport of Endurance riding is a great part of the equestrian legacy of the UAE and Dubai.
"We are pleased to serve as one of the event's sponsors and welcome the opportunity to promote the great sport of Endurance riding in Dubai and across the world."
With around 1000 participants, riders, crew and officials, the championship will have a significant economic impact on the area around Euston Park and the Newmarket area during the build-up and immediately post competition.

Kwara varsity dismisses newly married lecturer who allegedly threatened to fail a student over sex
by Tajudeenon December 6, 2021
Kwara State University,Malete, has dismissed a lecturer, Pelumi Adewale, for demanding sex from one Tosin Adegunsoye, a student of the Department of Pure and Applied Sciences of the school.
KWASU Vice-Chancellor, Mustapha Akanbi, in Ilorin on Monday, December 6, at a news conference to herald the eighth and ninth convocation ceremonies of the institution said the member of its academic staff had ceased to be a staff the school for bringing the institution into disrepute.
"The security agency has taken up the case and it is in court already, but I am informing you officially that the man is now an ex-staff member of the institution. He is a disgrace to our great institution and we won't condone such acts," the VC said.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Adewale was on September 11 arraigned before a magistrate court sitting in Ilorin, over an accusation of sexual harassment after being arrested by the State Intelligence Bureau over offences bordering on criminal intimidation, sexual harassment and examination malpractices.
A petition dated October 15 by Adegunsoye alleged that in September, Adewale, a lecturer assigned to teach her a course, MLS 212 Cell and Molecular Biology, called her and threatened to fail her in her forthcoming examination if she doesn't have sexual intercourse with him and she reported to the police who instructed Adegunsoye to play along with the lecturer in order to obtain raw evidence.
The lecturer thereafter lured the student into his bedroom apartment around 8:30pm at Taoheed Road, Basin Area, Ilorin, where he gave her a new question paper and KWASU answer script to rewrite her examination with a promise to have sexual intercourse with her till daybreak but was apprehended in the process by the detectives who were hiding at a secured location to monitor the development.
The Presiding Magistrate Ibrahim Mohammed, however, obliged the application of the defence and granted the accused bail in the sum of N200,000 the adjourned the case till December 8 for further mention.
The Kwara State Federation of International Women Lawyers (FIDA) was also a party to the case.

Analysis of Forage Quality in Adirondack Macrophytes: Implications for Waterfowl Nutrition
Abstract: To understand the relative nutritional value of macrophyte food sources for Adirondack waterfowl, the forage quality of four common Adirondack macrophytes were assessed. An analysis of two native pondweeds (Potamogeton) and two invasive watermilfoil (Myriophyllum) was conducted to deduce how invasive and native macrophytes compare in their relative concentrations of nitrogen and mineral content; important indicators of forage quality for waterfowl. Nitrogen content is used as a metric for relative concentration of protein. Macrophyte species were sampled from four Adirondack lakes of the same trophic status to account for effects of lake nutrient characteristics on plant nutrient uptake and synthesis. Total nitrogen was determined with the Kjeldahl procedure using flow injection analysis. Ash (mineral) content was acquired through high-heat burning in a muffle furnace. The invasive watermilfoil species had a higher percentage of nitrogen than the native species. There was no significant difference in the ash content between the species. It is critical to understand the ecological function of these species in relation to wildlife populations. The nutritional value of these aquatic macrophytes may have implications for the fitness and distribution of breeding herbivorous waterfowl in Adirondack lakes. These results may indicate that invasive plants will serve as a viable food source for herbivorous waterfowl as watermilfoil continues to spread across Adirondack aquatic systems.

Walden Pond: Ecological and Anthropological History Reflected in the Sedimentary Record
Abstract: This study examined environmental changes reflected in the microfossil record of a sediment core taken in August 2015 from Walden Pond, Massachusetts spanning the last 600 years. In particular changes in the eutrophication status, inorganic sediment deposition due to land use, lake water depth and temperature were examined using phytoplankton indicator species—diatoms and chrysophytes— to reconstruct environmental conditions. The study site was a basin shallower and closer to the source of anthropogenic N and P inputs than the site of previous studies at Walden's deepest basin, allowing for finer detection of changes in water level and organic content of sediment. A gravity corer was used to collect the sediment core to preserve topmost sediment layers for analysis, as more than a decade has passed since the last published study of this kind at Walden Pond by Köster et. al. (2005). Results show a significant increase in indicators of eutrophic lake conditions since European settlement ca. 1630, and especially since the 20th century. However, relative Asterionella formosa and Synedra nana abundances had not changed significantly in the last decade since Köster et. al.'s 2005 study, and have in fact decreased somewhat, suggesting water treatment efforts by the Massachusetts Dept. of Environmental Protection (DEP) have had some success. Loss on ignition (LOI) of organic content shows a precipitous decline from the mid 19th century from 37% to 22%, representing intensive land clearance and development until the 1970's when DEP management began. After that point, LOI rose, perhaps due to increased lake productivity, and has fluctuated around 25%. Relative Discostella stelligera abundance, while used in the WAl-3 piston core as a proxy for water depth, could not be used in the WAL-1 gravity core from this study as eutrophication has significantly impacted their abundance. Chrysophyte scale:diatom ratios corroborate an observed trend of increasing abundance in lakes globally since the 20th century, perhaps in response to rising global temperatures over the same period.

Outward Bound semester: Skills to last a life time
Abstract: The focus of this study will examine the level at which an Outward Bound semester fosters personal growth, connection with nature, and hard skills. This particular Outward Bound semester course traveled from the Florida Keys then on to Costa Rica and Panama in Central America. The course focused on the water elements of sailing, surfing, whitewater rafting, scuba diving, and sea kayaking. Methods used include personal journal reflections, peer and instructors oral and written responses. The researcher was an active participant in the immersive experience and kept a journal of the entire experience trying to gather as much information about the course itself and reflecting on the research process throughout. This research indicated that this experience developed personal character and a connection with nature. These skills have an impact deeper than an isolated course with Outward Bound but can be transferred to daily life.

Changes in aquatic communities resulting from interactions between climate change and invasive aquatic plants in the Adirondacks.
Abstract: Global climate change can act synergistically with invasive species leading to shifts in ecosystem structure and function. We assessed how a rise in water temperature influenced the potential competitive advantage of an invasive aquatic plant, Eurasian watermilfoil, (Myriophyllum spicatum) over a co-occurring native species northern watermilfoil (M. sibiricum). We also examined the interrelationship between water temperature, watermilfoil, and the aquatic ecosystem including periphyton growth and zooplankton abundance. The study was conducted using replicated mesocosms (3785-liter), with water heaters used to provide a range of temperatures. We found that increasing water temperature promoted the likely competitive advantage of the invasive species, M. spicatum: Survival of M. sibiricum plants was lower than that of M. spicatum across all temperature treatments with a mean survival rate of 24% and 96% respectively. M. sibiricum also showed significantly slower rates of plant growth (mean growth of 3.3 cm compared to 7.6 cm for M. spicatum) and reduced vigor compared to M. spicatum, with an average of less than half the number of growing meristems. Zooplankton densities averaged over 20 times higher in mesocosms with M. sibiricum compared to those with the invasive M. spicatum. Periphyton biomass was best explained by water temperature with an increase in growth in warmer water. Our study confirms that in the face of global climate change, the invasive M. spicatum will continue to exert dominance over its native counterpart. Our results also provide compelling evidence that the combined effects of climate change and invasive aquatic plants can dramatically alter aquatic ecosystems.

The Mayor of Chicago made some positive statements recently about cryptocurrency at a local FinTech meeting.
Rahm Emanuel, the mayor of Chicago, proved himself as an active proponent for blockchain technology in a FinTech meeting that took place in the city.
As reported by Forbes, Emanuel made optimistic statements speaking to the local fintech community. In particular, Emanuel said cryptocurrency adoption was 'inevitable' — also adding that Chicago might become a crypto-friendly global technology hub.
Emanuel was not ashamed to confess that he is not an expert at cryptocurrencies and does not have extensive knowledge about blockchain protocols. Moreover, he has many other pressing issues that demand his attention on the daily.
Nevertheless, as an experienced politician, he has a keen eye for the future potential of the things. As far as crypto 'trend lines,' Emanuel foresees cryptocurrency as an inevitable piece of the future economy.
I don't know if that's ten years, and I don't know if that's 20 years, but it's affirmative. I don't know what it is. I know it's an alternative way to trade, and therefore, I gotta learn about it.
When asked about crypto-friendly legislation in Colorado and Wyoming, Emanuel also promised the community any necessary help with what they consider important regulatory developments.
Meanwhile, the mayor believes in Chicago's 'unique and special' potential to become the global leader of fintech innovations. He mentioned the city's vast resources and success story, citing the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) and Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME). With reference to different economic studies, Emanuel also described Chicago as the second most competitive economy in North America and a prospective top-five global technology hub.
I wouldn't limit it to cryptocurrency. That's obviously the hottest space. There's a lot of other things that go on in the financial or in FinTech that is necessary and has to be researched and then has to be innovated.
Apparently, the mayor's speech encouraged the FinTank meeting participants, presented to by prominent players in the local crypto space including representatives from CBOE, CME Group, and Athena Blockchain — a leading provider of ATM network services.
Yet, there's a fly in the ointment. Emanuel is an outgoing mayor who is leaving his position in a couple of months. He promised, however, to delegate these obligations to his successor so that the city would remain a credible partner to the local fintech community — and the coming months will show if Emanuel is a man of his word.
Do you believe Chicago will keep pursuing the crypto-friendly policy to develop a world-leading technology hub? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!


British singer-songwriter David Gray had released three overlooked albums by the time White Ladder and its international hit single, Babylon brought his mix of acoustic instrumentation and electronic samples to the mainstream. Born in Manchester in 1968, Gray relocated to Wales at the age of nine before returning home to attend the University of Liverpool. While in school, he dabbled in several punk bands and began exploring new styles of writing, eventually uncovering his own poetic penmanship. Following a move to London, Gray signed to Hut Records in the United Kingdom and Caroline Records in the United States, releasing the single Birds Without Wings in 1992.
The next year saw the release of his folksy full-length debut, A Century Ends. Through his emotional tales of passion, love, and solitude, Gray's trademark style of fiery intensity countered with tender poignancy started to find an audience, particularly in Ireland. However, despite frequent solo tours (as well as an opening slot for Shawn Colvin), Gray's edgy sophomore effort, Flesh, was released in 1994 to an underwhelming response, and he was subsequently dropped from his label.
Gray was now an independent artist, but EMI Records noted the singer's potential and quickly signed him to a new deal. Meanwhile, the buzz in Ireland continued to build thanks to No Disco, an alternative music video program that showcased Gray every chance it got. Hanging on to that thread, Sell, Sell, Sell arrived in 1996 in limited quantities. Gray hitched up his touring boots and hit the road again, this time opening for such heavy hitters as Radiohead and Dave Matthews Band, but a lack of mainstream response resulted in Gray's split from EMI. Recapturing and embracing his independence, the musician self-financed his fourth album, White Ladder, and released the album on his own IHT Records in 1998. Recorded in a London apartment with an easy blend of samplers and acoustic guitar, White Ladder was a sublime leap forward for the underappreciated Gray. Ireland certainly recognized its merit, as the record immediately climbed into the Irish Top 30. Gray found other outlets as well, offering five tunes (including the elegiac title track) to the soundtrack of This Year's Love. The good fortune continued as former road pal Dave Matthews (who had taken a liking to Gray during their shared tour) made White Ladder the first release on his own ATO Records imprint in 2000. Boosted by this additional release, "Babylon" enjoyed a positive reception in the U.S. and peaked at number five on the U.K. charts. Its success coincided with Gray's performance on the main stage at Glastonbury, and White Ladder went on to enjoy multi-platinum sales.


Writing is a marathon. You can't make small efforts. We must train hard, and perseverance remains our greatest ally. Waiting is part of the journey. Sometimes we don't see the sunrise until we've braved the long periods between writing our novel and publication.
I'm excited to see what I'm able to accomplish this week. I will post the second chapter of Whippercreek and continue to write more chapters for the coming weeks. I'm waiting for a writing conference this fall, and I'm patiently building followers on Twitter and Facebook. If you haven't already followed me, click those links. A following is huge in writing, and I would appreciate your support.
I began editing last week, and I noticed the need to reduce prepositional phrases. It became easy to use them in academic writing, but it doesn't always work well in a novel.
I'm also contemplating ordering some writing craft books. What are your favorites? I don't have a ton, and I feel like this would improve my editing abilities. I need suggestions, so please leave your thoughts.
On another note, I've seen lots of blogs on responding to negative reviews. I received some negative feedback on my manuscript and am working through the comments. I think we have to realize that negative reviews hold some amount of truth. We become better writers, when we recognize these failures and work to improve them. It is also okay to cling to the positive, so I hold the weight of all my positive feedback as I review the negative to keep everything in perspective. How do you deal with negative reviews?
Kailee you are so precious to me!! The only truth I know is to trust JESUS!! God has blessed you with a gift!! Proverbs 3: 5&6.
Thank you…the Bible talks about godly men and women discipling others. You've done that for so many kids in our church, including me. I cannot tell you how much that has impacted me growing up. It means so much, and I know God has seen the legacy you've paved.

The silliness does not stop, the shark is not yet jumped.
And the remixes mix on.
Since the images of the GIFaChrome right there on the home page bear a lot of resemblance to the Hasselblad large format camera, one could see that one of the world's most renown camera brands would not be very pleased.
But to play with it more, I decided to change the name slightly, and who could be a better namesake face that David Hasselhoff? A video was found where he is being interviewed before a conference and its not much more of a step to confuse the two names. And so since the parent company is Sweden I plotted that the speech made should be in Swedish, and there is one voice that comes to mind- the chef from the Muppets show.
One trick for that in iMovie is to make the graphic 720px x 480px dimensions, so the image has the same aspect ratio as the video… it can be cropped cleanly.
Of course Rochelle reminded me I may have missed another opportune connection, the Bugs Bunny episode where he is the guest in the kitchen for the main ingredient of "Hasenpfeffer".
Maybe that can be a sister company.

Tooling around in my rental car through some weird and unfamiliar interchanges near San Jose, my co-pilot calls out commands. Get in the right lane. Take the next exit.
The directions come from a little gizmo attached beneath the dashboard. It uses computerized maps and information from orbiting satellites to plot my position and calculate the most efficient route to my destination--and offers directions in an electronic voice so I don't have to take my eyes off the road.
It's wonderful and terrible at the same time.
Wonderful because in strange cities, drivers can get where they need to go quickly without a wrong turn. Terrible because in strange cities, drivers can get where they need to go quickly without a wrong turn.
I'm talking about the loss of serendipity, that discovery of strange and interesting people, places and things completely by accident. Serendipity is what technology fights against. Technology strives for precision and repeatability. Sure, we need a certain measure of predictability in modern life. But we could also stand to lose some.
Nobody really knows how many of these navigation systems are in use today. Navigation Technologies Corp., the company that makes most navigation software, wouldn't release any numbers. Nor would some of the leading companies that sell and install navigation systems.
One major manufacturer, Magellan Corp., did grudgingly concede that the company has sold "well over" 40,000 navigation systems since 1997 but refused to elaborate. The doodads are a pricey option in some luxury-level automobiles, costing $1,000 to $3,000.
Bottom line: Only a small percentage of the millions of drivers on the road use these systems today. But as the costs come down and the systems become easier to use, they'll no doubt become standard in most cars.
Right now, it's still a pain to program the navigation system with start and end points. Manufacturers have developed little tricks to make it easier, with software that tries to guess the name of the street as users pick out letters. But the way to make that process really easy is to develop a system that understands speech, something that's still a few years away.
Even so, when the cost of these devices drops to less than $400, drivers will no doubt be snapping them up. It means no more worries about getting lost, reduced traffic congestion as the computers quickly find ways around blockages and fewer accidents as drivers no longer try to cut across six lanes of traffic in a last-minute dash to the exit ramp.
All of which is quite cool.
But something will get lost if motorists just blindly follow the instructions issued by a car's on-board computer. It's like taking the train to work every day and only seeing the stuff on either side of the tracks.
Driving off onto unknown surface streets is part of what makes driving fun. Spotting an interesting cafe or a landmark widens horizons.
Think about two more common examples: the Internet and television.
The World Wide Web offers untold opportunities to trip upon something new. One minute fish tanks appear on the screen and the next--depending on connection speed-- a page about African health policy.
Yet there's a distinction between search engines such as Google and directories such as Yahoo. Google provides a hit on every page with keywords. Yahoo lists only those pages that some human being has programmed into it. Using Yahoo might mean missing a lot of citations that are just plain interesting.
And as television systems offer hundreds of channels, there's no way to scroll through them all to see what's playing at any given time.
So despite having hundreds of choices, most couch potatoes set up favorite channels, most of which are a subset of the same dozen or so that they usually watch anyway. That means missing stuff on weird channels, such as the foreign language broadcasts, which do, on occasion, open the door to wonderful and compelling art, music and culture from another land.
Of course, it makes sense to use such tools as search engines, favorites and navigation systems to accomplish tasks efficiently. The future will offer more conveniences like these, not fewer--further eroding the ability and the time to do things a little leisurely, to explore and discover.
In short, remember from time to time to turn the navigation system off and let serendipity take the wheel.

"Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified" (Acts 2:36).
Jesus told his followers that after he ascended to heaven, the Holy Spirit would begin to do a new thing.  The Holy Spirit would "come upon [them]" and give them power to be witnesses (Acts 1:8)—witnesses of what God had done through the death and resurrection of Jesus.
The events of Acts 2:1-41 took place on the Day of Pentecost, fifty days after the start of Passover (during which Jesus was crucified) and ten days after the ascension.
Luke writes that his "first book" (i.e., the Gospel of Luke) was about what "Jesus began to do and teach" (Acts 1:1). The book of Acts is about what Jesus continued to do and teach through the church in the power of the Holy Spirit.
In Acts 2, we read about how the followers of Jesus "were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance" (v. 4). What was the main purpose of the Holy Spirit's activity on the Day of Pentecost? And what is the main purpose of the Holy Spirit's activity in our lives today?
On the Day of Pentecost, Jerusalem was filled with people who were visiting the city from other countries (vv. 8-11). The people were "bewildered" (v. 6), "amazed" (vv. 7, 12), "astonished" (v. 7), and "perplexed" (v. 12) that the followers of Jesus ("Galileans," v. 7) were able to speak in many different languages. Some thought they were drunk ("They are filled with new wine," v. 13). The apostle Peter explained to the people that the gift of tongues was the fulfillment of Joel's prophecy ("And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh," v. 17; cf. Joel 2:28-32).
What Peter really wanted to do was point people to "Jesus of Nazareth" (v. 22).  He proclaimed to the people six truths about Jesus.
1) Jesus was "accredited" (v. 22, NIV).
2) Jesus was "delivered up" (v. 23).
3) Jesus was "crucified" (v. 23).
4) Jesus was "raised" (v. 24).
5) Jesus was "exalted" (v. 33).
6) Jesus was made "both Lord and Christ" (v. 36).
After hearing what Peter had to say about Jesus, the people ask, "What shall we do?" (v. 37). Peter answered, "Repent and be baptized  everyone one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit" (v. 38). Sometimes what people need to hear is not what they want to hear.
The Holy Spirit's main purpose is to point people to Jesus.
We can point people to Jesus through both our words and deeds. Acts 2 is mainly about the words of Jesus' followers, but Acts 2 also says that the followers of Jesus had "favor with all the people" (v. 47). They were pointing people to Jesus through the kind of lives they lived. Our neighbors or coworkers should say of us, "He/she is a good person." If they say, "He's a jerk," or "She's a gossip," they'll disregard any words we say about Jesus.
The new thing that the Holy Spirit is doing in these days is all about Jesus.
 This doesn't mean that the Holy Spirit was inactive prior to Acts 2. The second verse of the Bible says, "The Spirit was hovering over the face of the waters" (Gen. 1:2).
 A person is not necessarily a human being (e.g., an angel is a person but not a human).
 Preaching is not really Christian preaching if it doesn't point people to Jesus. If someone from a different religion can agree with everything a preacher says, it's not Christian preaching.
 Baptism is not something we must do in order to be saved. "The willingness to submit to baptism is an outward expres-sion of inward faith in Christ" (ESV Study Bible).
The Acts of the Apostles is the sequel to the Gospel of Luke.  Luke writes that his "first book" (i.e., the Gospel of Luke) was about what "Jesus began to do and teach" (Acts 1:1). The Acts of the Apostles is about what Jesus continued to do and teach through the church.
We are living in the time between two great events: the ascension  and the second coming. You could say that we're living in the meantime.
In the meantime, there is one thing we must not do. What is the one thing we must not do? We must not do nothing.  After Jesus ascended to heaven, the apostles were mildly rebuked by the two angels: "Why do you stand looking into heaven?" (v. 11).
Jesus went up to heaven, and one day he'll return; in the meantime, we have work to do.
Though they lived in a different time and culture, the apostles and the other followers of Jesus were people like us. Like us, they struggled with fear and doubt.
The resurrection of Jesus was not something that was easy for them to believe.  This is why Jesus gave them "many proofs" (v. 3).  What kind of evidence would you need in order to believe in the resurrection? That's the kind of evidence that they were given.
"As [the apostles] were looking on, [Jesus] was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight" (v. 9). We shouldn't downplay the significance of the ascension. Jesus is now "exalted at the right hand of God" (Acts 2:33; cf. Psalm 110:1). The apostle Paul writes, "Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us" (Rom. 8:34; cf. Heb. 7:25).
The two angels said to the apostles, "This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven" (v. 11). Jesus will one day return bodily  and visibly. As we await the return of Jesus, we are to be doing the mission he gave us.
After Jesus ascended to heaven, he sent the Holy Spirit to indwell his followers.  The Spirit would provide the necessary power for mission. Jesus said, "You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth" (v. 8).  The message of biblical Christianity is not "God loves me, period…" the message of biblical Christianity is "God loves me so that I might make him—his ways, his salvation, his glory, his greatness—known among all nations."  We can be witnesses anywhere—on the other side of the world (e.g., as a missionary in China) or here in Halifax.
We are often guilty of wasting time--even "killing" time. We would probably waste less time if we could see the time of our lives ticking down.
We are living in the time between two great events: the ascension and the second coming. Jesus went up to heaven, and one day he'll return; in the meantime, we have are to be witnesses of what God has done for us through the death and resurrection of Jesus. We need to live the gospel, and we need to share the gospel.
 Both books were written by Luke to a man named Theophilus (Luke 1:3; Acts 1:1).
 The Gospel of Luke ends with the ascension (24:50-53); Acts begins with it (1:6-11).
 Yes, I know this is a double negative. In other words, we must do something.
 Some of them even doubted right up until the time of Jesus' ascension (Matt. 28:17).
 Jesus was with his followers for "forty days" (v. 3) between his resurrection and ascension. If the resurrection had happened on the date of this year's Easter Sunday (March 27), then the ascension would have happened on May 6.
 Jesus did not cease to be human when he ascended. He will return as a man.
 This is why Jesus leaving his followers was not a bad thing. The risen Jesus said to Mary Magdalene, "Do not cling to me [i.e., hold on to me], for I have not yet ascended to the Father" (John 20:17).
 "The geographical scope of Acts 1:8 provides a rough outline of the entire book: Jerusalem (1-7), Judea and Samaria (8-12), the ends of the earth (13-28)" (J. B. Polhill, Acts, 86).
 This saying is commonly attributed to Francis of Assisi.
"You are witnesses of all these things. And behold, I am sending the promise of my Father upon you. But stay in the city until you are clothes with power from on high" (Luke 24:48-49).
After his resurrection and before his ascension, Jesus told his followers, "You are witnesses of these things [i.e., his death and resurrection]" (v. 48). Though we haven't seen these things with our own eyes, we too are to be witnesses of what God has done for us through the death and resurrection of Jesus.
It was these fearful people who were to be "witnesses" (v. 48). How can fearful people share the message of the death and resurrection of Jesus?
The followers of Jesus were to spread the gospel "to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem" (v. 47). Remember what had happened in Jerusalem earlier than weekend: (1) Jesus had been arrested; (2) ten of the disciples had deserted Jesus; (3) Peter had denied knowing Jesus; (4) Jesus had been crucified. The gospel would have been a very unpopular message in Jerusalem—and a dangerous one to share! The task that Jesus gave to his followers wasn't an easy one. And it's still not easy!
Jesus said to his followers, "Behold, I am sending the promise of my Father upon you" (v. 49). This promise was the promise of the Holy Spirit, who would indwell believers after the ascension of Jesus. To be effective and courageous witnesses, they needed the Holy Spirit's presence: "But stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high" (v. 49; cf. Acts 1:8).
If God wants us to be witnesses, he will give us the power to be witnesses.
Peter probably seemed like an unlikely person to be an effective and courageous witness. He had a habit of sticking his foot in his mouth, and he denied knowing Jesus. But in Acts 2, we see that Peter had been transformed. He is proclaiming the gospel of Jesus on the streets of Jerusalem. The only explanation is that the Holy Spirit made him a changed man.
Maybe you don't think you're able to be a witness. Most of us are not theologians. But we all can simply tell our story--the story of what God has done for us through the death and resurrection of Jesus.
 The original followers of Jesus were also skeptical people. They thought that the risen Jesus was a "spirit" (v. 37), and Jesus had to prove to them that he had a real physical body: "Touch me, and see" (v. 39); "Have you anything to eat?" (v. 41).
"But we had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel" (Luke 24:19-21).
In Luke 24, we are introduced to two followers of Jesus. The name of one of the men is Cleopas, and the other is unnamed. They are walking home from Jerusalem, the city where Jesus had been crucified on Friday. It's now Sunday.
Before they their departure from Jerusalem, they had heard the reports about the tomb of Jesus being empty. But the two men don't believe a resurrection has happened. That's impossible!
They once had great hopes for what Jesus could do. Now he's dead, and they are left feeling disillusioned and disappointed.
We who are Christians understand the significance of the death of Jesus, and we believe in his resurrection. But as we go about our daily lives, it's possible for us to forget about the cross and the empty tomb. The death and resurrection of Jesus tell us truths we need to hear each day.
The apostle Paul writes that the gospel is "of first importance" (1 Cor. 15:3). The most important truth we need to understand is the gospel. The basic facts of the gospel are (1) "that Christ died for our sins," (2) "that he was buried," and (3) "that he was raised on the third day." The gospel is the good news about the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. What do the death and resurrection of Jesus say to us?
1. The death of Jesus tells us that we are valued by our Creator.
2. The resurrection of Jesus tells us that there is hope for a better tomorrow.
C. S. Lewis writes that "creatures are not born with desires unless satisfaction for those desires exist. A baby feels hunger: well, there is such a thing as food. A duckling wants to swim: well, there is such a thing as water. If I discover within myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world."  We long for something more because we were made for something more.
One popular view of death is that it's simply a natural part of life that we must all embrace. But no matter how often we tell this to ourselves, death never becomes easy for us to accept. Death is an unhappy ending to life, and we naturally crave happy endings.
When we are a fan of a baseball team, we long for a happy ending to the season. When we read a novel or watch a movie, we want the story's main characters to live "happily ever after." Years ago, instead of "happily ever after," stories ended with the words "happily until they died," which doesn't sound quite as happy. But it's true that every life ends in death. And death is sad. It's not a happy ending.
Thankfully, God did not accept death but sent Christ into the world to defeat it. Christ's crucifixion and resurrection began the countdown to when God would rid his creation of the curse. When "[God] will wipe away every tear from [our] eyes, and death shall be no more" (Rev. 21:4).
We need to recapture the excitement that comes from understanding and believing the gospel. The resurrection of Jesus is not merely a great event from the past, but it is something that can changes our futures!
 In the Gospel accounts, the first skeptics of the resurrection are Jesus' followers. If the story of the resurrection was a lie invented by the followers of Jesus, it would have been told in a way more flattering to the inventors of the lie.
 They were looking for someone to lead them to victory against the Romans. They saw the cross as a defeat.
 Observation: It was the women who went to the tomb to finish the work of Jesus' burial. Even today, it's the women who are often willing to do undesirable jobs.
 Timothy Keller, The Meaning of Marriage, 48.
 J. D. Greear, Gospel, 57.
 The two men recognized Jesus when he broke the bread (v. 30). This is reminiscent of when Jesus broke the bread during the Last Supper (Luke 22:19). As the two men didn't "see" Jesus even though he was with them, during the Lord's Supper Jesus is with us even though we can't see him.


Concerned about safety? Of course.
Protecting drivers, track employees, and the audience is absolutely essential in the race car industry.
That is why you want to insist on the highest quality Transmission Shields. The highest quality, of course, means made by TWRCP.
As you know, to pass technical inspection many racing classes require SFI Certified Automatic transmission shields. You can bet that all TWRCP shields meet or exceed all such requirements.
Shields are available to fit virtually all popular transmissions and in 3 different colors (red, black & blue), and all are crafted from 6061-T6 aluminum.

Bill Wannstedt
Vice President and Division Manager
"A job worth doing is worth doing right." That's Consort Homes' philosophy, and it has been a fundamental principle for Bill Wannstedt throughout his 35-year career in construction. As Vice President and Division Manager, Wannstedt oversees all aspects of Consort Homes' day-to-day functions, reporting directly to CEO Ken Stricker.
Originally from Pittsburgh, Wannstedt earned a BBA from Marshall University, then an MBA in management/marketing from Loyola University Chicago. Raised in a coal mining area, he entered the workforce in coal engineering and construction. The professional skills he acquired in this field translated well to homebuilding, and he's spent nearly three decades in the St. Louis region's new-home industry.
Wannstedt currently serves as President of the Board of Directors of the HBA of St. Louis & Eastern Missouri. Formerly, elected as president of the HBA of Southwest Illinois in 2007. He joined Consort Homes in 2012 and maintains, "Our leadership has confidence in our people and their decision-making ability. For the Consort customer, this means an efficient process and a quality-built home."
Joe Chilcutt
Joe Chilcutt's involvement in construction has been a constant for all of his life. His education and experience have centered around home building.
During his summers in high school, Joe worked as a laborer and developed his passion for construction. From his time as an apprentice carpenter, to crew foreman, to job site superintendent and construction manager, Joe's field-based knowledge and hands-on approach has given him the industry experience to lead the new home building construction process.
Joining Consort Homes at its inception, Joe has been instrumental in building strong relationships with other trade industry professionals to maintain an innovative approach to building new homes.
Erin Oliver
Coming from a family involved in land development, custom home building, and real estate, Erin Oliver might well have been destined for her role as Director of Sales for Consort Homes.
With a BFA from Missouri State University, she initially established her own graphic design business, but was lured back to the new-home industry in 2001. Working with a local builder, she immediately began setting sales records and earning award recognition. She joined a national Fortune 500 homebuilding company in 2005, quickly rising from sales consultant to area sales manager.
Oliver's decision to join Consort Homes in 2010 was based on the firm's outstanding reputation, flexibility, streamlined homebuilding procedures, and exceptional customer satisfaction rating. She holds a Broker license, CSM and IRM designations, and has received multiple national and local awards for her sales performance over the years.
Greg Bowers
Purchasing and Estimating Manager
Greg Bowers has always had a passion for building things, with a knack for taking things apart and putting them back together again. Bringing 29 years of experience in construction, he started in the flooring industry in 1986 and soon after became a carpenter. Bowers owned his own home building company until 1998, and then began as a carpenter for The Jones Company until 2011. Bowers joined Consort Homes in 2012 as the Purchasing and Estimating Manager.
Bowers was born and raised in Park Hills, MO, where he met and married his high school sweetheart. He is the proud father of two sons, and enjoys spending time with them. Outside of work, Bowers volunteers for Habitat for Humanity and church organizations. His hobbies include family time, working on his property, and riding his Harley Davidson with family and friends.
Chelsey Barrett
Interior Design Consultant
Growing up as a member of a military family that was frequently relocated around the world, Chelsey holds dear to all her memories of anticipation and excitement of a new community and a new home! And, while she prefers to reminisce on the fun and adventure, Chelsey can also recall the concerns and stress of moving somewhere different. It has been through her work with Consort Homes that she brings her personal experience, compassion, and understanding to make each customer's transition from dreaming of building a brand new home to owning the home of their dreams a seamless and engaging reality for their entire family. In 2015, Chelsey and family realized that dream for themselves, when they chose to build their own Consort Home.
In 2013, a life-long calling to work with people earned her a B.A. in Organizational Communication from McKendree University, where she also minored in Sales and Marketing. Soon after, a career with Consort Homes began. With a dedication and passion for constant learning and self-improvement, Chelsey earned the National Association of Home Builder's Certified New Home Sales Professional (CSP) designation, after only one year in the home building industry. Currently working as the Interior Design Consultant, Chelsey's knowledge and growth have yet to meet its boundaries.
A dedicated and enthusiastic young woman, Chelsey strives to actualize her potential in the home building design industry. Her desire to share her own knowledge and experiences are steadfast in helping every customer achieve the goal of loving the design features of their new home. After a lifetime of being in new places, Chelsey knows that she is home to stay, with Consort Homes.

Fiji is on many people's bucket list. And it's no wonder why–it's a beautiful and exotic tropical paradise. It also boasts warm weather, warm waters, and warm hospitality from its people. But, when you get the chance to take this once-in-a-lifetime trip, where should you stay? There are lots of choices ranging from all-inclusive resorts to standard hotels to vacation homes. Keep reading to see why you should choose an all-inclusive resort in Fiji.
Fiji is bigger and more remote than you think.
While Fiji is made up of a collection of islands, the nation covers more ground than you might think. Take the main island of Viti Levu as an example. On one end is the city of Nadi. On the other end is the capital city of Suva. It will take you a good four hours to drive between the two cities. There's not much in between them except for small villages and all-inclusive resorts.
Fiji is a beautiful piece of paradise.
The other islands are smaller, but also more remote. Staying at an all-inclusive resort in Fiji will allow you to spend more time enjoying your vacation and less time driving from place to place.
You can enjoy the beautiful sunset at an all-inclusive resort in Fiji.
All-Inclusive resorts are more convenient.
Unless you are staying in one of the cities, an all-inclusive resort in Fiji is going to be much more convenient for you. Few areas outside of the major cities offer options for eating and playing so, staying at an all-inclusive resort will be the most convenient choice for both food and fun. These resorts have several restaurants on property and offer pretty much any activity you can think of. In addition to the convenience, most of these resorts offer plenty of bang for your buck.
Most all-inclusive resorts in Fiji have great pools.
Many all-inclusive resorts in Fiji are kid-friendly.
When you are traveling with kids, it can be hard to know if a hotel and the surrounding area will be appropriate for your family. Luckily, you can easily find an all-inclusive resort in Fiji that is geared towards families. These resorts are large enough that you won't have to worry about the outside world while staying there. Additionally, they usually feature a kids' club, as well as special child-friendly food and activities. Plus, most all-inclusive resorts have amazing pools that your kids will love. When we were in Fiji, we stayed at the Naviti Resort, which catered to families. My son thought the kids' club was the best part of the trip. He still talks about it.
Our son loved the kids' club at the all-inclusive resort we stayed at in Fiji.
Fiji is a wonderful and beautiful place to visit. But, because there are a lot of remote areas on the islands, it is best to stay at an all-inclusive resort in Fiji. These resorts will be much more convenient for you and your family. And many of them are designed to be very kid-friendly. All inclusive resorts usually provide lots of value for your money too. When in Fiji, you should definitely stay in an all-inclusive resort to make the most of your once-in-a-lifetime vacation.

Leave a comment and let me know. Happy travels!


We saw this home made beekeepers hood posted and actually mistook it for an art piece. We thought it was a Super Mario squid. You can see an example on this image, which is located on a site dedicated to cross stitching video game characters.
In an odd coincidence, not related to the 8 bit textiles above, we also found this Mario themed sweater. We wouldn't wear it, but we'd love to see Wil Wheaton in it.
No. No no no. Bad Scientists. No treat for you.
There are 4 more links after the break, you'll want to see them to get that baby out of your head.

How do YouTube personalities change in response to fame
By: Laura Burlacu
About Laura Burlacu
I am 22 years old, come from Romania, and before coming to Amsterdam I studied Integrated Social Sciences at Jacobs University Bremen. Longing for a change of pace, I moved to Amsterdam to study New Media at the UvA. Pictures are soon to follow...
http://lauraburlacu.blogspot.com/
One social media website that has more or less gone under the radar since the 2008 Facebook boom is the now-classic YouTube. While social media research has recently focused its efforts predominantly on Facebook and Twitter, where personal identities appear more clearly, YouTube has been left rather untouched, despite the fact that it is still developing at a steady pace and user-generated videos are taking over official ones, at least when it comes to music videos.
Furthermore, a large share of the content that is posted on YouTube comes from the everyday users, some of whom have reached Internet fame through their YouTube channels. These are the people who have caught the attention of millions of viewers, convinced them that subscribing to their personal channels is worthwhile, and have since become the so-called "Internet sensations". Many of them are normal individuals who, for some reason or another, have started posting videos online and due to their personal charisma, entertainment value and/or unusual behavior have managed to attract the attention of users, having been found through the myriad of videos that are posted on a regular basis on the website.
While researching the methods through which these content creators have become so popular is an interesting topic on in itself, relating to the YouTube users' consumer behavior and the rationale behind their subscription choices, my following research suggestion is related to how the generators' behavior changes as a result of becoming famous, and how their content evolves throughout their YouTube "careers".
If one goes through the videos of YouTube content creators such as Ray William Johnson or Smosh, who are some of the most popular users on YouTube, one can see a clear evolution of their methods and styles of producing. The clearest changes that can be observed are related to the quality of the videos: in the beginning they are usually filmed with amateur and sometimes poor-quality cameras, but as the generator's view-count and fame increase, so does the budget. As a result, the quality of the videos increases additional people are brought into the production process, such as editing experts, or co-host/guest hosts, and the videos tend to advance towards a stage where they resemble actual television programs, with the videos being posted at regular times throughout the week.
What is more interesting to see is another aspect related to the evolution of the videos, namely the change in the way the creators chose to present their content to their audiences. While in the beginning the videos tend to have a more personal, unedited and unscripted feeling to them, as they evolve the distance between those who post the videos and those who see them seems to increase. As the production process becomes more professionalized, the initial "home-made" aspect decreases, and as a result the creators are no longer normal users, but they become in their own right YouTube celebrities, having endorsement deals, promoting products or appearing as guests on televisions shows (one example that pops into mind is the "Tron Guy" who appeared as a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live! as a result of his YouTube popularity).
Therefore it would be worthwhile to analyze the chronological development of such internet personalities given the fact the YouTube prides itself on the originality of their users' content, the lack of boundaries for the ways in which the content can be created and presented and for having broken away from the dusty production patterns and molds that television has to offer.
Taking the example of Ray William Johnson, YouTube's "poster child" we can see how this evolution takes place. Ray William Johnson started his YouTube series roughly three years ago during his law studies at Columbia and his bi-weekly videos reviewed three viral or interesting videos that were popular at the moment. Soon his content started gaining notoriety and more and more people subscribed to it, making it now the most popular channel on the website. As a result, the Ray William Johnson and Equals Three (the name of his series, stylized as =3) brands have expanded beyond the original concept, with two additional channels having been opened since then (BreakingNYC is a personal vlog documenting his life in the city, whereas My Favorite Martian is a music channel where he posts his own musical work that can also be purchased in iTunes and Amazon). Merchandise is available in the form of t-shirts, collectibles and so on, and an entire production team is also now involved behind the creation of the videos.
Closing credits of the Equals Three show
As one can see, Ray William Johnson represents and impressive success story with the world of user-generated content on YouTube. Therefore, given the impressive amount of information that is available regarding his personal evolution, it would be worthwhile to analyze his channel's development in order to see how the original show has changed as it started gaining more viewers and why it is resembling more and more a typical television program.
Since there are so many videos available, the analysis could be focused on breaking down the individual videos (perhaps not all of them, given the large amount of material available, but one for every two weeks) and interpret them from a visual perspective in order to observe the changes. In the end, a chronological perspective on the evolution of the show would be obtained and the analysis would present a clear image of how the show has been affected by the increase in online visibility.
The question is though: is this the direction in which YouTube is heading? Will popular YouTube-based shows start resembling more and more the typical television-produced ones? This is something that remains to be seen, since at the moment the future still remains uncertain.

Кутузово — деревня в составе города Москвы с 11 февраля 1987 года. Находится на территории Зеленоградского административного округа.

Историческое расположение
Село Кутузово располагалась около ст. Крюково.

История

С XV века по XVI век в селе была вотчина бояр Кутузовых. Во владение входило: село Кутузово, деревня Бунино, проходившая по речке Горетовка, пустырь Ивакино-Денигиское. Василий Борисович Кутузов, последний хозяин, не имел потомков. Село названо в честь его владельцев. Во время эпохи Ивана Грозного многие вотчины потеряли своих хозяев, а новыми становились те, кто был предан царю. Таким образом владельцем стал князь Борис Камбулатович Черкасский, родственник второй жены Ивана Грозного Марии Темрюковны и бояр Романовых. Кроме того, он получил ещё одну территорию.

В 1750-х годах хозяин — майор Иван Васильевич Плещеев. В 1768 году он умер и село перешло к его жене.

С 1839 года по 1861 год хозяин — писатель-публицист Антон Францевич Томашевский, статьи которого находились в газетах: «Галатея», «Телескоп», «Московский вестник», «Молва», «Москвитянин», «Русский архив». В 1861 году крестьяне стали свободными, стали иметь право на торговлю и ремесло, могли покидать место жительства. Крестьяне ходили в село Рузино в Покровскую церковь. В то время ж/д станция Крюково располагалась в 2 вёрстах от села, а шоссе в Санкт-Петербург в шести. Рядом располагалась деревня Брехово, в которой находилась дорога в Москву из села Пятница, благодаря чему ремесло в селе процветало. Новым хозяином стал А. И. Серебрянников, купец из Ростова.

После Первой мировой войны и Гражданской войны сельское хозяйство сильно ухудшилось. Во время коллективизации в деревне был создан колхоз «Кутузово». В 1926 году здесь проводил своё свободное время Михаил Булгаков, к которому приезжали Рубен Симонов, Всеволод Вербицкий.

В первый год Великой Отечественной войны, осенью 1941, у деревни проходила линия фронта. После войны в деревне прошла электрификация, и колхоз «Кутузово» вошёл в совхоз «Крюковский». 11 февраля 1987 года деревня вошла в состав города Зеленограда.

Enduring Australian talent and ARIA-award winning powerhouse Grace Knight brings a love of diverse genres to PIJF.
Grace Knight is one of the most enduring talents in Australian music. With ARIA awards and nominations and chart topping recordings in each of the past three decades, her career spans 40 years.
Acclaimed for her live performances, Grace is one of the finest interpreters of popular music in Australia today. Knight's spellbinding performances touch the soul and lift the heart. Her magical presence connects with audiences of all ages like few others can.
She blew audiences away throughout the eighties as lead singer of internationally successful band Eurogliders. She captivated fans with her "Manic Ballerina" stage persona and Eurogliders took the charts by storm.
As a solo artist she transformed herself from Pop Princess to Queen of Cool and lit up the screen in ABC TV's award winning mini-series, Come In Spinner. A string of successful solo albums followed. During her jazz career, Grace has done countless live shows including performances for five Australian Prime Ministers, President Clinton of the United States, Princess Diana, and the Thai Royal Family.
Her most recent jazz albums, "Willow" in 2008 and "Keep Cool Fool" in 2012 were released to critical acclaim and both received ARIA nominations.
Never one to slow down and rest on her laurels, Grace released her critically acclaimed autobiography, Pink Suit for a Blue Day in 2010. Written with wit and warmth, she combines hilarious stories from her childhood with frank revelations of the abuse she suffered at the hands of her father. Grace felt obliged to write her story to show solidarity with the countless other victims of childhood abuse.
As well as her grueling schedule of live work and recording Grace made a guest appearance in the long running TV show, Neighbours. She is an Ambassador for Heal For Life Foundation, an organisation that empowers people to heal from childhood trauma and abuse and is a patron to the Choir Of Hard Knocks and in 2010 re-recorded her smash hit, Heaven (Must Be There), with the choir.
In 2013 Grace Knight & Bernie Lynch reformed Eurogliders and have been touring since then. In 2015 they released their 6th studio album titled, "Don't Eat The Daisies", which featured stripped back performances of many of their hits in addition to a number of new songs.
2016 sees the release of Grace Knight's 8th solo album, "Fragile". This new album is a departure from jazz and features 12 new songs penned by her old partner in crime, Bernie Lynch.
The songs on Fragile are a departure from the jazz Knight is famous for and have touches of blues, soul and folk, and demonstrate her ability to effortlessly move across genres whilst maintaining her signature vocal style. Fragile is already receiving critical acclaim and Knight's legions of fans love the new songs.

The Potts Point scene is busting a move with The Village's upstairs Soho Room. The L-shaped space is great for any kind of party and at 11pm it opens to the public as a nightclub. You and your mates can stick about and party on free of charge, with DJs and an excellent vibe. What a great way to extend your function!


Getting our Kitchen / Diner Ready for Winter!
Brrrr we've definitely had colder weather the past few weeks… in some parts of the UK we've already seen snow, that's just crazy!! As you know M and I bought a house this year so you can imagine this year has been pretty costly. For summer it wasn't too bad as we spent so much time outside in our lovely garden (it was the priority to get the patio laid, we spent the 4-week heatwave digging and laying patio to try to keep down costs — who knew how expensive paving slabs and concrete!?), but it's been far too cold to enjoy the garden now, so we've been spending so much time in our kitchen/diner!
Firstly it's a great size, and secondly, Arthur's a nightmare on the carpet so we're trying to be in the kitchen/diner with him more! As we spent more time in the kitchen/dinner we knew the two chairs we had bought quickly from HomeSense weren't ideal for the area. So spent a weekend moving the sideboard and realising we had enough space for a LARGE sofa. So we ordered a Loaf sofa in about two point five seconds — a nice bright blue sofa and I knew it would be sooo snuggly.
As soon as we moved the room around we released all the furniture was pointing in the same way and we needed something to break up the room, plus my feet were forever cold on the hard floor. So when the lovely people over at Frith Rugs got in touch I was definitely not going to turn this down! A rug was just what we needed to finish off the room (well we do need curtains but that's a next year job as curtains for french door aren't cheap especially when you fall in love with designer fabric!!).
I was worried about ordering a rug online, worried if it would be good quality?! Will it look like the photo?! Is it something I need to go in-store for? Well the great news is with Frith the photos are spot on and are really realistic. The quality is amazing…. as you know we have a puppy and its slightly confused him… okay so he thinks its a giant puppy pad so we had to revisit it a bit of puppy training (if you have a puppy and buy a rug just buy the Simply Solution spray its brilliant at getting out any accidents!). But he tried tearing it, digging it up and he hasn't been successful so that was a great way of putting the rug to the test!
All I can say is it certainly has Arthur's seal of approval, as I write this he is fast asleep by my feet! (see photo below). I'm so impressed with the range of rugs on Frith Rugs, they had all types and sizes, something for everyone and everywhere! I know my mum is already eyeing one up for her living room!
We have our kitchen table and chair on the rug too which is lovely when you're eating dinner, no cold feet! Also the chairs don't make marks or holes in the rug thank god!
I really feel the rug has transformed this space and made it so cosy ready for the winter — I couldn't be happier!
Disclaimer: I have kindly been gifted the rug from Frith Rugs. There are also some affiliate links in this post where I make a little bit of money if you do buy something through one but it doesn't affect you! Please see my disclaimer for more info.
