Call for Applications: Community-based Responses
The Solidarity Fund is inviting eligible community-based organisations (CBOs) to apply for funding in support of critical activities and services related to addressing gender-based violence (GBV) across the country.
Over the past five years, the rates of reported violence against women in South Africa have shown a general increase. This fact has been clearly highlighted by numerous high-profile incidents of femicide in the past two years, which of course represent just a small proportion of women facing violence in their homes and communities. The Covid-19 pandemic has made a bad situation worse. Despite substantial ongoing efforts to tackle GBV in South Africa, many gaps remain, which have only been exacerbated by the Covid lockdown. These include:
Shortage of PPE and other critical health supplies at shelters and care centres;
Accurate information and awareness among women and girls about available GBV services;
Services (e.g. psychosocial support and legal aid) for women who are experiencing violence;
Awareness and sensitisation among the police about how to properly manage GBV cases;
Inadequate private sector response and partnerships on preventing and responding to GBV;
Poor coordination among key stakeholders; and
Inconsistent data and evidence about the incidence of GBV.
In response to this reality, the Fund is opening a call for applications for community-based organisations (CBOs) working at grassroots level around the country to respond to these issues.
The vast majority of services related to GBV are delivered at community-level, often by small CBOs. The Fund wishes to provide direct support to these organisations, which often struggle to access funding from established donors for a variety of reasons.
The Fund will provide funding to organisations that have a track record of at least 12 months of implementing similar or related activities that fall within the following three broad categories:
Communications activities to drive awareness and behaviour change
Maintenance of safe spaces for women, children and other vulnerable groups (e.g. LGBTQIA+, people withdisabilities)
Skills development and economic empowerment programs for at-risk women and other vulnerable groups
Individual and family counselling and psychosocial support services
Positive parenting programmes
Programmes addressing gender norms, including those that focus on men/boys
Programmes focused on Sexual & Reproductive Health and Rights, as well as self-empowerment (voice and agency) of women and girls
Provision of trauma counselling to GBV survivors, as well as referrals to relevant social services
Maintenance of shelter services for women and children
Programmes to improve access to public and private emergency response
Support and capacity-building for community caregivers
Provision of access to protection services
Provision of non-profit and/or free legal and paralegal support services
Provision of support to victims to navigate and interact with the criminal justice system
The Fund will award once-off grants ranging from R50 000 to R250 000 to successful applicants in support of any of the above activities. The Fund will determine the exact amount awarded to successful applicants based on a variety of factors, including the quality of the application, track record and finance history.
For the purposes of this call, a community-based organisation is considered to be one that is based in and serving a local community. To be considered for funding, CBOs will need to submit the following:
Proof of registration as a Non-profit Organisation with the Department of Social Development (i.e. valid NPO Certificate) and/or as a Public Benefit Organisation from SARS (i.e. valid PBO letter)
Most recent 6 months' bank statements (the bank account must have been opened on or before 1 January 2020)
Proof of track record, highlighting your experience with the specific area of focus you are proposing. This can be a reference letter from a trusted person familiar with your work (e.g. ward councillor, chief, local religious/community leader or a funder) and/or a signed funding agreement from a donor and/or a previous report you have sent to a funder/Department of Social Development)
Copy of founding document (e.g. constitution, memorandum of incorporation, trust deed)
ID copy and proof of residence for each of your board members, directors or trustees (for FICA purposes).
Proof of residence may include e.g. utility or retail bill, lease agreement, affidavit from a police station, letter from a ward councillor)
Application Form Notes
The CBO call for applications are now closed.
All applications will undergo initial screening and vetting and, if shortlisted, will be forwarded to an independent Selection and Evaluation Panel who will make all final decisions on Solidarity Fund funding. A decision on the outcome of your application will be communicated to you in writing within a maximum of three months of the closing date.
NB: The Solidarity Fund is only able to make grants to legally registered organisations (e.g. Non-profit Company, Trust, Voluntary Association). If you do GBV-related work in your local community but do not have a legally registered organisation, you will need to find an organisation to partner with. Your application should then be submitted through this partner organisation.
Answers to several Frequently Asked Questions are provided below. If, after reading these FAQs, you still have queries, please contact our call centre at 080 007 9609 or email solidarityfund.gbv@capabilitybpo.com. The call centre is toll-free so you will not be charged for any calls. It is open from 08h00-17h00 Monday to Friday while the call for applications is open (22 October to 18 November). Call centre agents will be available in all 11 official South African languages.
What is the call for applications about? What funding is available?
The Fund has opened two calls for applications for organisations working to address gender-based violence (GBV) in South Africa. With a total funding pool of approximately R75 million, the two components of the call are:
The majority of available funding will be directed towards community-based organisations (CBOs) working at grassroots level around the country; and
Some available funding will be directed to larger non-profit entities that can demonstrate how a once-off grant from the Fund would help catalyse or accelerate large-scale or systemic change in the GBV space over the medium- to long-term.
This FAQ relates to the funding available for CBOs working at grassroots level.
There are three different application channels that applicants can use, depending on preference:
You can apply via WhatsApp. To apply using this channel, just send "Hi" to 060 053 5502 via WhatsApp. You will be able to read all about the call, and apply here.

Who will evaluate the proposals?
All applications will undergo initial screening, vetting and shortlisting by Tshikululu Social Investments. If your application is shortlisted, it will be forwarded to an independent Selection and Evaluation Panel who will make all final decisions for funding on behalf of the Solidarity Fund.
What criteria will be used to assess proposals?
Applications will be assessed through three different phases.
In terms of screening, proposals will be assessed on:
Is the application complete?
Does the application comply with all requirements in terms of supporting documentation?
Is the application relevant to the GBV call?
If the application passes the screening phase, proposals will be shortlisted based on the following criteria:
Applicant's understanding of issues related to GBV
Proposed programme quality
Geographic location and number of people to be reached
Potential for meaningful impact
Capacity of the organisation to implement the proposed programme
Track record of the organisation in implementing similar programmes
If an application is shortlisted, a final funding decision will be made by the independent Selection and Evaluation Panel based on the following criteria:
Overall quality of proposal in within the full portfolio of applicants
What is the Selection and Evaluation Panel?
A Selection and Evaluation Panel has been established to determine which applicants will receive funding based on their comprehensive understanding of the most critical needs in our country. The Selection and Evaluation Panel is composed of representatives from civil society, the Interim Steering Committee on Gender Based Violence and Femicide, the private sector and development partners with experience of providing GBV funding in South Africa, the rest of the continent and globally.
Who is Tshikululu Social Investments?
Established in 1998, Tshikululu Social Investments is a non-profit social investment fund manager and advisor, working alongside investors and other development partners to maximise the power of social investment. Tshikululu has been contracted by the Solidarity Fund to manage the GBV response initiative, which includes:
Receiving and assessing applications (i.e. due diligence);
Forwarding the shortlisted organisations to the Selection and Evaluation Panel which will make all final decisions;
Contracting with all approved grantee organisations;
Ensuring payments are made to all approved grantee organisations;
Receiving and analysing reports from all approved grantee organisations; and
Reporting back to the Solidarity Fund on the use of funding and social impact achieved.
How much funding is available?
For the CBO call, the Fund will award once-off grants ranging from R50 000 to R250 000 to successful applicants. The Fund will determine the exact amount awarded to successful applicants based on factors such as the quality of the application as well as track record and finance history. All final funding decisions will be made by an independent Selection and Evaluation Panel.
If the application is successful, what will the reporting requirements be?
Successful applicants will be expected to report back on the use of funds twice:
the first report will be due three months after payment of the grant is made
the second and final report will be due six months after payment of the grant is made.
Broadly speaking, you will be asked to report back on activities, how funds have been used and successes and challenges, and provide pictures. The reporting requirements will be explained in your grant agreement and a reporting template will be provided.
The United Kingdom (UK) government has donated R25 million towards the Solidarity Fund's GBV response. This grant is aimed at extending the Fund's ongoing efforts to counter the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic in South Africa, focusing specifically on projects supporting and promoting women. This contribution forms part of the UK's international Covid-19 response and recovery efforts, and signals their support for the Fund as an independent, South African-run initiative. Therefore, reporting for all successful applicants will be aligned with UK government requirements. More information on the specific requirements will be communicated to all successful applicants.
When will applications close?
Applications will be open for four weeks, starting on 22 October at 14h00 and closing on 18 November at 17h00. Any applications submitted after this time will not be considered.
Can I apply more than once?
No. Only one application will be considered per organisation.
Why do I need to submit the ID numbers and residential addresses of board members?
Tshikululu is registered as an Accountable Institution with the Financial Intelligence Centre. We ask for information about board members so that we can do the necessary identification and verification procedures to report back in line with the Financial Intelligence Centre Act (FICA). FICA was introduced to fight financial crimes, such as money laundering, tax evasion, and terrorist financing activities. This process is key to the Solidarity Fund's governance requirements as well.
Is it first-come-first-serve?
No. All applications submitted before the deadline will be considered. Submitting your application "early" will not strengthen your chances in any way.
Can I apply to both the community-based responses call and the systemic responses call?
Organisations may apply to both calls, although the Solidarity Fund prefers to avoid giving multiple grants to the same organisation. As such, if an organisation has already been shortlisted for funding under one call, this will be a factor in considering whether the organisation should be shortlisted for the other. Approval will ultimately be at the discretion of the Selection and Evaluation Panel.
I still have queries. Who should I contact?
If, after reading this FAQ, you still have queries, please contact our call centre at 080 007 9609 or email solidarityfund.gbv@capabilitybpo.com.
The call centre is toll-free so you will not be charged for any calls. It is open from 08h00-17h00 Monday to Friday while the call for applications is open (22 October to 18 November). Call centre agents will be available in all 11 official South African languages.

Tactic Talk – Tottenham continue to threaten from all angles
February 15, 2012 May 15, 2015 Adl Admin
Tottenham Hotspur continued their impressive campaign with an emphatic 5-0 win over Newcastle United at White Hart Lane. In a season full of dominant performances, Spurs again showed the form that has seen them among the contenders for the Premier League title, in a superb attacking display that saw four different players on the scoresheet as Harry Redknapp's side secured the three points in style.
Facing a tough task against a Newcastle side exceeding expectations under Alan Pardew, Spurs looked to dominate from kick-off, opening the scoring after just four minutes, from one of the less likely sources in the home side, with left-back Benoit Assou-Ekotto latching onto Emmanuel Adebayor's low cross, the first of four assists for the Togolese striker, to put Spurs in front.
Spurs would double their advantage just two minutes later, with deadline day signing Louis Saha netting his first strike for the club, again capitalising on Adebayor's centre to fire home past Tim Krul. To further endear himself to fans of his new club, Saha would double his tally, to complete a blistering spell, giving Adebayor a third assist, knocking down for the Frenchman to drill home his second and Spurs' third after just 20 minutes.
With Tottenham's new look front line off to a sensational start, the depth of talent in the Spurs midfield also became apparent, with Niko Kranjcar breaking from midfield to slot home, after Adebayor reacted first to his saved initial shot, before providing for the Croatian midfielder to give the hosts a four-goal advantage at the break.
Adding a fifth after the break, Adebayor finally got himself on the score sheet, neatly volleying home from close range. Taking a knock in the process, the forward, on-loan from Manchester City, capped a sensational performance with a goal, having been central to every goal in the match. Turning provider on four occasions before finding the net himself, Adebayor's performance would be pivotal, as his team-mates flourished around him, with goals from midfield and defence in additions to the three goals scored by the starting pair in attack, Tottenham continue to show a growing maturity among a group of players, many of whom chasing their first major honours in English football.
Although times ahead may appear challenging for Tottenham, with speculation surrounding the future of manager Redknapp, further challenges appear likely on the field, with Spurs looking like a side capable for challenging for the title, as well as a second Champions League campaign, Redknapp's side boast numerous attacking threats from all areas of his side. With a new signing also making an immediate impact, Spurs may yet have a key input into the conclusion of this season's Premier League.

For today's night cap I wanted to highlight this great video put together by the guys over at Digital Rev. In this video the team at Digital Rev pit the new D600 up against the (now 1 generation old, but still very good) D7000.
This is actually something that I have been contemplating myself a lot recently as I have been feeling the urge to upgrade to a full frame body, but still feel like I could spend my money better on getting better glass and keeping my D7000. The video seems to confirm my thoughts about upgrading glass over body, at least when it comes to the D7000 vs the D600.
Pick up a Nikon D7000 or Nikon D600 from Amazon today!
What do you guys think? Aside from the obvious advantages that FX has over DX (Better Low Light for example) would you keep your D7000 or upgrade to the D600? Let us know in a comment below!
It is plainly a D7000 with with a Full Frame senor. a full frame sensor usually perform better in low light wit better dynamic range. I would definitely consider a D600 since i also contains a DX mode. Also your DX lenses will still work on it.
I've been reading a bunch of reviews and everyone talks about how much better the FX is than a DX. I sold my 5DMKII and bought a D7100 and a D7000 and several lens. I shoot mostly golf and fishing tournaments, award banquets those kind of things. Anyways earlier I went to DPReview and compared the D7100,D7000,MKii and the D700. They have a tool that lets you compare the ISO of images shot in a studio environment. I ended up printing the images for ISO 100, 1600, and 3200 for each camera on my Canon Selphy 4×6 printer (what I mainly print for events is 4×6) for the life of me I can't really tell which is which. Yes maybe if I was printing 16×20 or something. I think people get a little caught up in gear sometimes. The pictures I take go on the web or are printed up to a 11×14. I would love a D800, but I don't need it to get the job done. At the low ISO under 1600, you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference between a D7000 and a D700. Just my opinion.
I have seen this vid several times….I was stuck as well….now I have the D600, D7000, & my new work horse D7100….I love the full frame, but my favorite is the D7100 because it give me a little more accuracy when using back button auto focusing, along with a tad bit sharper pictures.
Hi, if you have all the 3 cameras you are in a great position to give your opinion!
I have the D7000 and have a chance to upgrade. For now I think I'll go for the D600, although its a big investment for me. Do you not think the image quality over the d7100 is worth the investment?
Had this exact choice about 4 months ago. I stuck with the D7000, because it does essentially the same thing for half the price. I also get to keep all my DX lenses!
Have you shot with the D600? I own both and must say the difference in quality, especially low light is unbelievable!
I own both a D600 and a D7000. The difference between the two is day and night, not only at high ISO but also in quantity and quality of details. I also have the 85mm 1.8G, and it's the favourite lens I own, I like it more than my Nikon 24-70.
D600 + 85mm is the combination you want, trust me!
Is the Image quality difference so big that is worth the investment?
I mean to sell the d7000 and get the d600? What about the dust issue, is there a great deal of risk?
It all depends on the money you want to invest in photography overall: are you going to invest money in lenses suitable for such a body? If so, I'd switch instantly. I have a hard time going back to my d7000 whenever I need to!

From the heart and soul of visionary Nobel Peace Prize winner Nelson Mandela, a collection of his most uplifting, time-honored quotes that have inspired our world and offer a path for peace.
Notes to the Future is the definitive book of quotations from one of the great leaders of our time. This collection—gathered from privileged access to Mandela's vast personal archive of private papers, speeches, correspondence, and audio recordings— features more than three hundred quotations spanning more than sixty years, and includes his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech.
These inspirational quotations, organized into four sections—Struggle, Victory, Wisdom, and Future—are both universal and deeply personal. We see Mandela's sense of humor, his loneliness and despair, his thoughts on fatherhood, and the reluctant leader who had no choice but to become the man history demanded.
A good pen can also remind us of the happiest moments in our lives, bring noble ideas into our dens, our blood and our souls. It can turn tragedy into hope and victory.
I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate my compatriot and fellow laureate, State President F. W. de Klerk, on his receipt of this high honor.
Together, we join two distinguished South Africans, the late Chief Albert Luthuli and His Grace Archbishop Desmond Tutu, to whose seminal contributions to the peaceful struggle against the evil system of apartheid you paid well-deserved tribute by awarding them the Nobel Peace Prize.
It will not be presumptuous of us if we also add, among our predecessors, the name of another outstanding Nobel Peace Prize winner, the late Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
I am also here today as a representative of the millions of people across the globe, the anti-apartheid movement, the governments and organizations that joined with us, not to fight against South Africa as a country or any of its peoples, but to oppose an inhuman system and sue for a speedy end to the apartheid crime against humanity.
These countless human beings, both inside and outside our country, had the nobility of spirit to stand in the path of tyranny and injustice, without seeking selfish gain. They recognized that an injury to one is an injury to all and therefore acted together in defense of justice and a common human decency.
That triumph will finally bring to a close a history of five hundred years of African colonization that began with the establishment of the Portuguese empire.
At the southern tip of the continent of Africa, a rich reward in the making, an invaluable gift is in the preparation for those who suffered in the name of all humanity when they sacrificed everything—for liberty, peace, human dignity and human fulfillment.
In front of this distinguished audience, we commit the new South Africa to the relentless pursuit of the purposes defined in the World Declaration on the Survival, Protection and Development of Children.
Thus shall we live, because we will have created a society which recognizes that all people are born equal, with each entitled in equal measure to life, liberty, prosperity, human rights and good governance.
Such a society should never allow again that there should be prisoners of conscience nor that any person's human rights should be violated.
In relation to these matters, we appeal to those who govern Burma that they release our fellow Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Aung San Suu Kyi, and engage her and those she represents in serious dialogue, for the benefit of all the people of Burma.
Far from the rough and tumble of the politics of our own country, I would like to take this opportunity to join the Norwegian Nobel Committee and pay tribute to my joint laureate. Mr. F. W. de Klerk.
It remains our hope that these, too, will be blessed with sufficient reason to realize that history will not be denied and that the new society cannot be created by reproducing the repugnant past, however refined or enticingly repackaged.
We live with the hope that as she battles to remake herself, South Africa will be like a microcosm of the new world that is striving to be born.
The processes in which South Africa and Southern Africa as a whole are engaged, beckon and urge us all that we take this tide at the flood and make of this region a living example of what all people of conscience would like the world to be.
A stirring collection of quotes from the Nobel Peace Prize winner. The quotes are inspirational and moving, regardless of any prior knowledge. The full script of Mandela's Nobel acceptance speech from 1993 rounds out this brief yet important look into the mind of a man determined to break apartheid regardless of the personal cost.

Albert Edward Ernest Vogler, whom R. E. Foster and many other great batsmen regarded as the best bowler in the world in the year 1907, died on August 10, aged 69. Born at Swartwater, near Queenstown in Cape Colony, on November 28, 1876, he spent his boyhood at Durban, and made a name for himself at cricket with the Natal team at Johannesburg in November 1903. Going to live in Pretoria, he decided in 1905 to adopt cricket as a profession, and came to England with the intention of qualifying for Middlesex. He obtained an engagement on the M.C.C. ground staff, and in his second year at Lord's bowled on several occasions for the M.C.C. with brilliant success. The idea of Vogler qualifying for Middlesex aroused some feeling in 1906, the metropolitan county having already two Colonial players, Albert Trott and Frank Tarrant. Happily, any friction which might have arisen disappeared, Sir Abe Bailey finding a position for him.


This special version of the bed Abbraccio has been designed for people with Alzheimer's disease. Today Alzheimer's dementia affects about 5% of individuals aged over 60 years.
It is a form of senile dementia. The disease affects memory and cognitive functions, it has repercussions on speech and thinking skills, and it can also cause other disorders, including confusion, mood swings and disorientation in both space and time.
Lifting, moving, changing the position of the assisted person can become an insurmountable task. This is Abbraccio's second essential objective, to provide a simple and effective medical device that reduces the effort and restores an important degree of calmness in people who are committed to caring for a relation.
There is another burden, besides the psychological one, which the caregiver of a person in difficulty is called to face, specifically that, without effective help, every movement – even the simplest – becomes difficult and even impossible to perform.
ABBRACCIO has a safety system that prevents improper or unintentional activation of electric motors.
The many adjustment options offered by Abbraccio allow to both easily addressing caregiving requirements and help the person who is confined to bed to interact positively with the family environment. Watching TV, reading, conversing and performing small manual tasks are enabled by Abbraccio, thus improving the elderly person's quality of life and encouraging affective relations with dear ones.
Like an embrace, the bed Abbraccio protects, supports and ensures safety in every circumstance, meeting all requirements, from the typical comfort of a bed that can be converted into an armchair, to the safety ensured by the solid structure and ergonomic bed rails in every situation or difficulty created by the bedridden person.
Abbraccio's frame, which is constructed in compliance with the most rigorous safety protocols, has been tested to easily support workloads up to 175 kg.
Affection and wellbeing have never been so safe.ri.
Our system prevents the bed rail from being unintentionally unfastened to ensure patient safety. It also requires two hands to unfasten it, thus enhancing the operator's safety.
Bed rail in painted aluminium or wood finish, with broad radius, guarantees resistance, lightness and easy sanification.
The optional semi-transparent plastic insert prevents accidental insertion of limbs between the two bed rails.
Abbraccio's design concept, which issues from long-standing experience developed creating hospital furnishings, facilitates both environmental hygiene and sanification of the bed itself.
Maintaining Abbraccio in a perfectly efficient status is easy. Few, simple maintenance rules will ensure its function.

I often get asked why I love living in downtown Toronto so much.
Sitting in bias, I always want to chuckle and respond with "why would you want to live anywhere else?" but as an urban planner and a generally understanding and open-minded human being, I try to respond with the least bias possible.
There is a general understanding that young people love to live in busy places but once they get older or get ready to settle down they will surely want to move to places described with the following adjectives: safer, quieter, cleaner, and more private.
1. Who said that these qualities are the official standard for a good quality of life?
When looking for a place to live, everyone has different wishes, wants, and standards. If we were to make a list of all the requirements that people have across the globe, we would end up with thousands of requirements. It may be true that it is more sensible for a single 20 year old to live in a smaller apartment, and for a family of 5 to live in a more spacious home, but this does not explain location.
2. Who said that urban environments don't retain these qualities?
Urban environments do in fact retain qualities that most people mistakenly assume they cannot possibly have. It is possible to raise a family in a downtown neighborhood defined as safe, quiet, clean, and yes, will give you your privacy.
3. Is everyone's life so similar that every person will 'grow out' of urban living?
Not every person will fit a standard life path. Many will border the status quo, and some will never come near it. It is unreasonable to expect that everyone will 'get over' downtown living and finally 'mature' into suburban family life.
And lastly… a statement that would be very difficult to illustrate in a few images… being surrounded by as many different people from me as possible – race, culture, opinions… this keeps everyone in check. This reminds everyone that the world does not revolve around themselves. This makes people more aware and less ignorant.
To me, urban living is healthy, happy living. It provides me with my current needs, and I can only imagine how proud I'll be when I start a family here one day.

Lemnos is a Greek Island found in the northern deep blue Aegean Sea, located northeast from mainland Greece. It is an island surrounded by natural beauty, packed with glorious verdant mountains and impressive landscapes of volcanic rock, while its stunning coastlines are fringed with gorgeous sandy bays and secret hidden coves. Lemnos is considered to be one of Greece's most unique islands that features not only a medieval castle, picturesque villages, pristine beaches, and archeological sites but also a petrified forest, seal caves, sand dunes and an unearthed ancient city proving the existence of the oldest civilization in Europe dating thousands of years ago. Although Lemnos is a Greek island known by many, it has only been touched by few, in comparison to the other more cosmopolitan Aegean Islands. Regardless of its popularity, hundreds of thousands of people visit Lemnos each year to enjoy an authentic Greek island experience and a relaxing vacation. There are two ways to reach the island, by air from the Lemnos International Airport that caters to domestic and seasonal charter flights and by sea from Lemnos Myrina Port with daily ferry connections to the mainland and the several Aegean Islands. Of course, renting a car in Lemnos upon your arrival will give you the luxury to explore all the interesting sites and discover all the hidden gems on the island by land.
Cheap Car Hire in Lemnos & Discover the Island
Begin your journey with your Lemnos car rental and visit the island's capital city Myrina, known for its cobblestone shopping streets lined with neoclassical buildings and its beautiful waterfront promenade leads to wonderful beaches. It is also home to a medieval Venetian Fortress that is perched on a hill above the town offering spectacular views to its visitors. Be sure to also visit the Archeological Museum of Lemnos that exhibits a rich collection of artifacts from the archeological sites on the island. Next visit the breathtaking location of Platy village that lies on the slopes of a hill around a beautiful beach popular for its watersport activities. Then just 6 km away Therma, a location known for its therapeutic thermal springs and famous for its mud baths made from "Lemnos Healing Earth" is believed from antiquity to have healing properties. Head out to Moudros the 2nd largest city on the island with a picturesque harbor where local fishermen quay their colorful fishing boats, also an ideal location to enjoy breathtaking sunsets. Just outside of Moudros, a large valley that extends to the east is home to a unique creation of nature, the Petrified Forest of Lemnos that resulted from volcanic activity, dating millions of years ago. Visit the picturesque traditional villages of Lemnos including Romano known for its old black stone houses and the remains of fossilized trees, Thanos surrounded by greenery with stunning views of the sea, Plaka that features a lovely harbor, old windmills and the church of Agios Haralambos as well as the village of Kaspakas built on the slopes of a mountain and home to magical waterfalls. Another two villages that must be visited is the charming village of Kontopouli found in close proximity to important archeological sites and Kontias one of the most beautiful villages in Lemnos built on a pine-covered hill with traditional stone houses, abandoned windmills and the picturesque church of Agios Dimitrios.
The Smart Choice for Lemnos Rental Car
Continue your journey with your Lemnos rent a car and visit the archeological site of Poliochni where archeologists have unearthed an ancient city that dates from 4,000 BC to approximately 1,600 BC when it was eventually destroyed from natural causes, considered to be one of the oldest and most organized cities of the Ancient World. Findings in the area include ruins of houses, barns, and an aqueduct as well as remains of an ancient theater and parliament. Next, visit the ancient site of Ifestia, which was named after Hephaestus the God of Fire who was also the protector of the island. Ifestia was an important religious center that dates back to the Neolithic period. Excavations in the area have discovered the ruins of a castle, a necropolis, baths, a Hellenistic theater and temples dedicated to the "Great Gods". Then just 3 km away from the ancient Temple of Kavirion, a 6th century BC sanctuary also dedicated to the "Great Gods" where secret ceremonies of this ancient cult were conducted. Just below the excavation site, the "Cave of Philoctetes". Legend has it, that this is the place where Odysseus, on the way to the Trojan War, left behind Philoctetes who was bitten by a snake. Philoctetes was later cured and owed his recovery to the therapy he received from the "Healing Earth" of Lemnos. Then head out to Aliki a coastal salt marsh located on the eastern part of the island that has become a resting place for migratory birds and that also attracts many flamingoes during a specific time of year. Two must-see locations are the Gomati Dunes, the largest sand dunes in all of Greece that also features a gorgeous beach nestled in a bay with fine white sand and crystalline sea waters and Fokospilia, seal caves found next to the bay of Mikro Fanaraki, a place of refuge for the rare seal species monachus – monachus. Also visit the chapel of Panagia Kakaviotissa, dedicated to the Virgin Mary that lies on a hill in a cave surrounded by steep cliffs and Koukonesi a small island connected to Lemnos by a causeway known to be an important archeological site with links to a Mycenean civilization. The island of Lemnos is also home to over a hundred beaches both crowded and secluded. Popular beaches include Myrina, Platy, Romaikos Gialos, Riha Nera, Fanari, and Thanos. Ideal beaches for windsurfing and watersports are Keros and Zematas while the more secluded beaches of Lemnos are Neftina, Papias, Stivi, and Louri.

Carbon dating is a variety of radioactive dating which is applicable only to matter which was A sensitivity of in the 14C/12C ratio has been achieved.
Radiocarbon dating is a method that provides objective age estimates for carbon-based materials that originated from living organisms. An age could be estimated by measuring the amount of carbon present in the sample and comparing this against an internationally used reference standard.
Radiocarbon dating has been one of the most significant discoveries in 20th of the radioactive or unstable carbon isotope 14 (14C), which is formed in the.

What is the environmental impact of construction of the substation?
As part of our regulatory applications, Dominion Energy completes an evaluation of potential environmental, cultural, and historical impacts of the project. Dominion Energy works with many local and state agencies to complete these evaluations and mitigate any impacts. All required permits are obtained and permitting conditions are met. Permitting agencies typically include the US Army Corps of Engineers, the Virginia Dept. of Conservation and Recreation, the Virginia Marine Resources Commission, the Virginia Dept. of Transportation; and commenting agencies include the Virginia Dept of Game and Inland Fisheries and the Virginia Dept. of Historic Resources, among others.
For additional information on our commitment to responsible stewardship of natural resources, environmental management and performance, view our Sustainability & Corporate Responsibility Report. We also invite you to read our Corporate Environmental Policy.
Should I be concerned about Electric and Magnetic Fields?
Dominion Energy is sensitive to public concern about possible health effects from exposure to electric and magnetic fields (EMF). Dominion Energy includes data on the levels of both electric and magnetic fields produced by proposed facilities in all applications submitted with the SCC. We continually monitor EMF research and speak to our customers and employees regularly to share the latest information available.
The Virginia SCC, which regulates the construction and operation of electric transmission lines of 138kV and above, considers EMF in every application. Hearing Examiner's remarks from recent proceedings are below.
March 23, 2009 Beaumeade-NIVO (Case Number PUE-2008-00063) Report of Michael D. Thomas, Hearing Examiner concludes that "… electric transmission line electromagnetic fields do not represent a human health hazard."
May 4, 2010 Hayes-Yorktown (Case Number PUE-2009-00049) Report of Deborah V. Ellenberg, Chief Hearing Examiner, states, "I find that EMF has not been identified as a carcinogen for human beings despite extensive study over many years, and there is, therefore, no basis on which to prohibit the Company from authorizing appropriate uses of its right of way."
August 23, 2011 Hollymead (Case Number PUE-2011-00015) Report of Michael D. Thomas, Hearing Examiner, states, "The proposed facilities do not represent a hazard to human health, which finding is consistent with the Virginia Department of Health's report entitled Monitoring of Ongoing Research on the Health Effects of High Voltage Transmission Lines (Final Report) dated October 31, 2000."
May 1, 2015 Brambleton-Mosby (Case Number PUE-2014-00086) Report of Howard P. Anderson, Hearing Examiner, states, "Expert panels formed by national and international scientific agencies have evaluated the scientific research related to health and power-frequency EMF and provided conclusions that form the basis of guidance to governments and industries. It is the general scientific consensus of the health agencies reviewing this research that at levels associated with the operation of the proposed transmission line, or other common sources of EMF in the environment, the research does not support the conclusion that EMF causes any long-term, adverse health effects."
The Virginia Department of Health in its final report evaluating EMF research concluded:
"Based on the review and analysis of the exhaustive literature review and other research projects completed under the EMF-RAPID program, the Virginia Department of Health is of the opinion that there is no conclusive and convincing evidence that exposure to extremely low frequency EMF emanated from nearby high voltage transmission lines is causally associated with an increased incidence of cancer or other detrimental health effects in humans. Even if it is assumed that there is an increased risk of cancer as implied in some epidemiologic studies, the empirical relative risk appears to be fairly small in magnitude and the observed association appears to be tenuous. The studies published in the literature lack clear demonstration of a cause and effect relationship as well as a definitive dose-response gradient."

Who Will Preserve and Curate Black America?
For centuries, African Americans have used the creative arts to redefine cultural narratives and to share unique aspects of the collective African-American experience with the world.
Social and political progress during the 20th century forced America's most prominent cultural institutions to recognize African-American culture as a discipline worthy of scholarship and to capture this work for exhibition within public forums. Yet significant details and nuances remain absent when presented within dominant American historical and cultural narratives.
Leaders of the country's foremost cultural institutions gathered to examine this issue and the role of 21st century institutions in preserving and presenting the Black American experience during "Curating Black America", the 2015 Marion Thompson Wright Lecture (MTW) at Rutgers University.

The answers to your questions about Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Supporting a vegan or vegetarian diet during pregnancyVegetology
What Are Omega-3 Fatty Acids?
First thing to say is that Omega-3 may sound like a villain in Transformers, but is actually not quite as exciting as that. So why the name? Chris Smith explains:
"The Omega in the name actually refers to the place with the double bonds on the fatty acid chain. These are double bonds in a fatty acid chain. The reason they're Omega-3 is purely because it's polyunsaturated fatty acids with a double bond of the third carbon."
There you go. Omega-3 are fatty acids, which get their name from their formation. Which leads us onto the next obvious question – do we need them? Everyone is talking about getting more Omega-3 into your diet but why do we need them at all?
Why Is Omega-3 necessary?
Omega-3 is known as essential fatty acid. But is it essential? Chris explains:
"The name is no coincidence… they really are essential to our overall health, but particularly the eyes, brain, heart, health, which all require Omega-3s. They are the building blocks of so much of our bodies."
How about an example?
"There are different forms of Omega-3, but one of the forms of Omega-3 is the principle part of the brain's grey matter, or the retina in our eye. In fact, 40% of our grey matter is made of Omega-3."
When you put it like that, Omega-3 is definitely an essential to our daily diets! But wait, there are different forms?
DHA, EPA and ALA – Getting the Right Omega-3
When it comes Omega-3 and nutrition, it's really important we get the right kind of Omega-3. That starts with understanding the different types. Over to Chris:
"There are three main types of Omega-3, all of which fall into the same category, but they are really different. We are talking about DHA, EPA, and ALA.
DHA – also known as Docosahexaenoic Acid – DHA is what makes up 40% of the grey matter. It's an absolutely vital component, of the brain and the retina.
EPA – also known as Eicosapentaenoic Acid – EPA stimulates powerful anti-inflammatory processes in the body.
ALA – also known as Alpha Linolenic Acid - ALA is an inactive form of Omega-3. It's very commonly found but it needs to be converted by the body to be effective. The conversion rate is incredibly low, which most people don't realise."
So when it comes to the types Omega-3 that are most useful for our bodies and nutrition, we're looking for DHA and EPA.
What does Omega-3 do for your body?
So we've talked about why they're called an 'essential' fatty acid, but what are the benefits of Omega-3 in the body? This is where it's hard to get Chris Smith to stop talking!
"It's not a case of what does it do but almost what doesn't it do! Omega-3 is vital for brain cell regeneration, and for generation in the first place. It's great for cognitive function, behaviour, attentiveness, for general development. It reduces inflammation, and help inflammatory processes, which are linked to heart disease, for instance. It improves mood and has a lot of links to fighting the symptoms of depression and anxiety. It is great for the joints. It is vital during, before and after pregnancy, and aiming to get pregnant, all the way through.
Omega-3 is in the news all the time, new research coming out linking benefits to ADHD, to Alzheimer's, arthritis, just to name a few."
Right, so we get that. Omega-3 has a ton of benefits to the body. So how do we increase our Omega-3 levels?
Your Body Cannot Make Omega-3
It's really important to know that your body cannot make Omega-3 in the way it can make Vitamin D, for example. You have to get Omega-3 from your diet, which means making sure you are getting sources rich in Omega-3 as part of your daily nutrition.
What sort of foods are rich in Omega-3?
If you ask people that question, the most common answer for a good source of Omega-3 will be fish. Oily fish, in particular salmon, sardines, mackerel, krill and other crustaceans are a good source of Omega-3 (DHA and EPA – the two kinds your body needs).
Omega-3 is also found in plants and you can get some Omega-3 from nuts and seed oils. But it's really important to note that these plant-based sources contain the type of Omega-3 called ALA, which means the the body will need to convert it to the correct type before it has any health benefits.
What If You Don't Eat a Lot Of Fish?
We are aware that many of us don't eat a lot of fish, if any, and there are many reasons for that. For a start, the UK government now recommend that we only eat two portions of fish a week. Why is that? If it's full of Omega-3?
"If it was just down to Omega-3, the recommendation would be to eat fish every day. However, fish are very good at capturing other things as well as Omega-3 - like mercury and toxins. That's the reason the NHS here and I guess most equivalents around the world will say eat fish, but at a limit, because yes you get Omega-3, but we don't want you going crazy from mercury poisoning. You can even have fish that swim and grow in the purest of waters but mercury levels can still be naturally very high, and dangerous in fish."
The Problem With Nuts and Seeds
There are certain types of plants that are naturally high in Omega-3 (and not in toxins!), so does it not make sense to get our Omega-3 intake from these foods? In short, not really. Chris explains:
"The truth is they are not good sources of Omega-3. They do contain ALA, which is an Omega-3, but as we mentioned earlier, that's not the right form for the body. The body needs to convert that ALA into DHA and EPA. Here's the problem, that conversion rate is tiny. We're talking about 1% conversion for DHA, and a maximum of 5% for EPA."
How Do We Get Enough Omega-3?
If some of us choose not to eat oily fish, and even those who do are limited in their intake, and if nuts and seeds don't contain the preferred type of Omega-3, that leads us to ask – how do we get enough Omega-3? Chris Smith tells us that's where supplements come in. But hang on, aren't supplements containing DHA and EPA also made from fish oil?
Not all. There's a way to get the same kind of Omega-3 you get from fish oil supplements – by bypassing the middleman (or in this case, fish!)
"Fish don't naturally contain Omega-3. They get it from their diet of algae. When we eat oily fish - the big oily fish, the mackerel, are probably eating the tiny fish. The tiny fish eats a lot of algae, and therefore up the food chain goes the EPA and DHA.
It's now possible to get the Omega-3 in the form of EPA and DHA directly from that algae into supplements. It's absolutely perfect for those that don't want to eat fish, or have ethical reasons for not wanting to eat fish, so vegans, vegetarians, to get real Omega-3 in the correct forms."
The result is a supplement that is plant-based and actually sourced from algae grown in closed conditions, so without the impact of pollution from the sea. Supplements sourced from algae contain the types of Omega-3 the body needs but without the added pollutants, and made from plant-based, planet-friendly ingredients.

Nothing is more frustrating than paying thousands of dollars in application fees and spending months or years of your life waiting for a green card and finding out that your application has been denied. In some circumstances, a knowledgeable immigration attorney can help you file an appeal of the green card denial and help you obtain your green card.
The process to obtain a family-based petition approval with US immigration can be difficult and stressful. That is why it is highly recommended to work with an immigration attorney that you trust to help you prepare all of your documentation and information correctly and to make sure the process runs as smoothly and quickly as possible.


Help!! How do I calculate what to change to fix this?
Please drop my problem off your radar. I am reloading windows onto the machine as it was a fairly bare hard drive. Seems a better use of your time. If you could discuss how to fix the problem by hand it might reduce your workload.
best regards and keep up[ the good work.
PS: Did you know that Symantec have withdrawn Partition Magic from the market and dropped all their help pages. As far as repartitioning on the fly YOU are it!
Thank you for reporting back robert_77546. I am glad that you discovered a solution that worked for you.
Hopefully soon we will find the solution to this problem so that no one needs to suffer through this resizing frustration.
Parted 2.1 still has this problem. Don't use Parted 2.1 until a third party patches it.
Curtis, I think it might be a good idea to post a warning on the news page about parted-2.1.
Thanks for the heads up Patrick. I have updated the initial forum post, and plan to do some testing soon myself.
I found out that TESTDISK - what can be found on Parted Magic - fixed the problem for me and different other people.
So maybe this is worth a try for every one, before trying it on your own step by step.
shyheg01, please open a new post for this problem. Otherwise confusion between this and other problems might result in data loss.
The only way I can boot from a usb stick is with fat16.
from Ubuntu 9.04 to Ubuntu 10.10.
it always gives this above mentioned error directly.
Also resizing seems to go well now if the drive is properly formatted.
At least ..... in the FAT16 case.
Maybe this is of any help ? Took me some time to find out.
Errnux, please create a new post for your situation.
ERROR: File system doesn't have expected sizes for windows to like it.
Do resemble. So I thought it is worth mentioning here.
There might be some link ?
Or do you know already there is no link between the errors ?
Thank you 4 starting this topic.
If you wish help to resolve your situation then please create a new post. This is to minimize the chance of errors when exchanging information on the problem. If you look at the first post in this thread, then you will see a list of new posts that cover each person's individual situation. That is why I requested a new post.
Use under win quike format, Than make partition only one unde unix linux system. Hope that will help.
i tried the newest test version of Parted Magic. It has Linux 2.6.32 included. Maybe this is fixed in the new kernel. If you look through the change log there are some mentions about SCSI not being read correctly. I looked at your list of "cases" in the other thread and every single one of them is a SCSI/SATA (sdx) device. I'm not sure if this could be the problem.
Thank alexwilliams for your observations. The newest GParted Live 0.8.0-5 uses Linux kernel 2.6.38-1 so we'll keep an eye on this problem to see if it completely disappears.
Hi, I don't think this problem has entirely disappeared yet.
Yesterday, I resized a data partition that I don't frequently used, to shrink it from about 80Gb to about 50Gb.
Today, I tried mounting this partition and I get the telltale dmesg error, where the two numbers differ by 8.
Not exactly sure where to post more details, should I start a new thread?
I'm confused with my gparted live (downloaded July 22) experience over the last several days.
I have version 0.90, drives were two 80 gb in a RAID1 configuration with three partitions, two NTFS, 1 Dell maintenance FAT partition. Server 2003 on a Dell PowerEdge.
The idea was to shrink D: and grow C: by resizing D, moving D to the right, then resizing C to fill the space left by moving D.
It just wasn't happening at all as RAID1, with errors within minutes of attempting a resize or a move. I tried Cylinder and Mib.
I then decided to take the SATA drive out of the server's array and put it in a USB 2.0 drive holder. I booted my laptop (very slow laptop, big mistake) and began the move of D. It didn't fail immediately, but it did take it's time, more than 14 hours.
It then said right at the end of the move that there was an error and of course with the live CD, I could not save the error file any where. However, when I quit gparted and relaunched it (not reboot the laptop, just the program) the partition showed as moved.
I then resized the C: partition. It too said the operation was not complete.
I put the drive back into the server and booted up Server 2003. In disk management, the drive size for C was reported properly at 53 gb or so. But in My Computer the drive was shown at its old size before the resize, 29 gb. Seems very likely this is related to the part of the operation which did not complete. There's a mismatch somewhere.
I don't get what I'm doing wrong here. I've looked at FAQs and I don't see errors as specific as mine and I don't see any explanations for what I've been experiencing. Clearly, I must be doing something wrong because I'm not the only person resizing NTFS partitions. Is there some patch I'm missing from the Live CD?
Anybody know the trick to doing this?
Forgot to say that I defraged everything multiple times using Windows and 3rd party tools and deleted the recommended registry key.
Also, please feel free to move this post if it's in the wrong place.
"Based on your description it appears that the partition size was increased but the file system failed to grow to fill the partition.
To fix this situation, use the "Partition --> Check" option on the partition. This should grow the file system to fill the partition."
The partition check failed. From what I can tell, it seems that it did the dry run okay, but then got to a point in the real resize where there were a lot of "invalid argument" lines and the number "65,535." It also appeared that the program took the choice NOT to proceed with the resize.
I'll keep plowing through the board to see if I can find any answers.
Both Solaris11 11/11 and Windows, installed on the same hdd, x86_64.
Subsequent to the moving/resizing of the Windows Partition, by GParted, GRUB no longer appears at bootup; only Windows boots -- as though Solaris and GRUB don't even exist.
At first, Windows refused to boot also, but the Windows Install/Repair disk, coupled with "last known good configuration," dissolved that problem.
The Solaris Partition has not been disturbed afaik.
Can i save my Solaris 11 installation?
ONE THING THAT WOULD BE TREMENDOUSLY HELPFUL IS INCREASING, SUBSTANTIALLY, THE SIZE OF THIS TEXT WINDOW!!!
"fdisk -l -u" ==> "-l is illegal option"
"parted /dev/dsk/c3t0p0d0" ==> "warning, you are not superuser" .. repeated attempts to login as superuser .. su - root .. failed because no password will work, not even "enter (no password)" ... so how do i log on as superuser?!
GParted shows that all partitions -- c3t0d0p2 (the solaris partition), c3t0d0p1 (the ntfs windows partition), c4t0d0p0 (fat32; 14.96gb; flags=-boot, lba; i have no idea what this is)are "unmounted."
GParted 0.4.5 is rather very old. There are many improvements, fixes and changes since that version. The easiest way to use the latest version is to use the latest GParted Livecd.
The fdisk command (as well as parted) needs the root privilege, so you have to login as root or prefix it with "sudo " . With the GParted livecd you can use it in the terminal window with no password. In the case of other live media containing GParted, you need to ask to the specific developers, as it isn't related to GParted.
The -l option is a lowercase L.
It would be perhaps better to create a new thread.
sawman, please create a new thread for the problem you experienced. This will help to reduce confusion as the answers are often specific to only one problem.
I have problems resizing file systems using GParted but this tutorial helps me a lot. Thank you.

Wordless Wednesday from Sedona . . . . .
When SAYING "Thank You" Isn't Enough . . . .
Let's face it. Sometimes, SAYING "Thank You" isn't enough. I'm sure we've all experienced, at one time or another . . . a particular act of kindness, an exceptionally thoughtful gift, a special favor, an unsolicited show of support, or inspirational words and wisdom offered by a trusted friend or family member, that simply demands more than a verbal "Thank You."
And even with the advent of exquisitely beautiful and creatively designed electronic cards (YES, I use them myself!), and the ease of immediate and real time email communication via the Internet. . . there is nothing like a physical, tangible, hand-held, sent-delivered-and received paper card.
Yes, my friends, what I'm talking about here is an old concept. . . the written Thank You Card. Sending Thank You cards may be bordering on a Lost Art, but I remain a believer. Whether a card is handmade or purchased, I personally believe that there's nothing that conveys "Thank You" in both word and action, quite as strongly as receiving a Thank You card in the mail. I have sooo many reasons for saying this, but I don't want to bore you with them all at this juncture.
Instead, I'd simply like to say that I, myself, have been inspired by some acts of kindness recently that have prompted me to create some new Thank You card designs. And I thought I'd share a couple of them with you here on my Blog. I hope you find these new card designs pleasing, and also that you will be encouraged to continue to keep the practice of sending written Thank You Cards alive and well.
THANK YOU for visiting my Blog. . . . .
A Sublimely Serene Saturday Morning Moment . . . . . . .
The youngest of our two greyhounds, Beauregard (yes, we actually consulted the baby name books prior to naming Beau, and picked this name because it means "handsome" or "beautiful to regard"), just turned 2 in July. Although we've been greyhound adopters since 1997, we've never had a greyhound this young. And he's been a handful. . . . . I've read that greyhounds mature a bit more slowly than other breeds, and are still considered puppies until the age of 3 years!
And true to puppy form, Beau does EVERYTHING with enthusiasm and vigor. . . . somewhat to the dismay of our eight year-old greyhound, Harley.
But occasionally, I'm able to catch Beau in a moment of repose. And here he is, taking a rest after a hearty run, chew and play session with his (and Harley's) nylabones. . . . . .
It's Father's Day once again, and a time to remember and honor the special fathers in our lives.
Although my husband and I don't have children in the traditional sense of the word, we have always been privileged to have dogs as members of our family. . . .and I guess one could call them our four-legged kids.
Our current dog family members are Harley and and Beau, two beautiful red fawn greyhounds, both "rescues." Harley and Beau (with a little help from good ole "mom") decided to show their two-legged dad their appreciation on Father's Day by giving him a handmade card, specially designed for him.
That's 8-year old Harley's photo on the right of the card and almost-2-year old Beau's photo on the left.
Needless to say, my husband was quite touched by Harley's and Beau's thoughtfulness today.
It seems as though SPRING has been a long time in coming here to Northern Utah. But I think she has appeared at last.
I must admit that, several weeks ago, with the persistent winter chill and day after day of cloudy skies and rain (or worse!), I wasn't totally convinced that Spring would ever show her face. But, thank goodness I was wrong . . . and Spring is finally here.
Thankfully, our backyard vegetation hasn't been fooled by the unseasonably cold weather, and the Spring-flowering plants have continued to pop up through the soil undaunted, guided by their internal rhythms.
The crocuses, daffodils, tulips, and early irises have already bloomed, despite Utah's ongoing chill, snow, and rain. Their blossoms now spent, they have given way and made room for the later Spring blooming plants . . . which have also not disappointed.
As I strolled through our back yard this evening, having just finished mowing our "jungle", while the sun was beginning to lower itself in the sky, I was pleased to find a few obscure, almost hidden Spring treasures. . . .
Some of my card creations . . .
And for the greyhound lover . . .

It's hard to believe that it has been three and a half four years since I first saw The Book of Mormon in previews on Broadway.
I was in the audience twice in the first two weeks (in case it closed)…but luckily the critics and New York audiences agreed.
I won front-row orchestra tickets on Twitter for last night's show. The faces have changed, and possibly some nuances of the staging, but it was just like seeing it for the first time.
I made eye contact with the cast, said hello to the conductor and got spit on.
I got to take my friend Derek for his first-ever viewing.
This blog was created with a little help from my post last August, when I won the BOM Twitter lottery the first time.


February | 2019 | Curiousity?
Yarn Indulgences mini a month subscription!
I had a great time with last year's Tosh Shawl Club yarn subscription from Jimmy Beans, but decided to try something new this year rather than renewing.
Opening it up showed what I expected from the form factor: vacuum sealed yarn. How clever! I figure that's how they can afford to send me posh yarn from Ontario for only $10. Shipping cost $1.80! I don't know why January's came near the end of February — I'm guessing it's when it was dyed as opposed to when I get it?
It puffs up perfectly once opened and inside is some really soft hand-dyed cashmere/merino/nylon. I can't wait to try it out! I'm thinking maybe some stained glass style colourwork in a hat? Maybe wait to see if it goes with next month's mini? I don't know but I'm going to pare down my active projects a bit first.
I gather they will rotate bases so I'll get to try out their other options. This is great, since I sat in their booth at the yarn show we went to in Quebec and suffered such decision paralysis that I wound up not buying anything! Well, it wasn't just decision paralysis; I also had to limit my shopping so it would fit in my luggage and I'd already fallen in love with some other yarn in another booth, but if I'd made a decision I would have been able to fit a mini!
One of the reasons I decided not to do the Tosh Shawl Club again is that I was tired of the single ply Tosh Merino Light, though, so I'm excited that my first package isn't single ply as well as that it's super extra squishy and wonderful.
Yarn of the month: 2-3 swatch sized samples (maybe 20 yds each for a total around 40-80 yards?), Swatch patterns, one full sized pattern. Huge variety of yarns many of which I've not seen elsewhere.
Jimmy Beans beanie bags: 3-4 swatch-sized samples (so around 60-80 yards total?), small project pattern for actual yarn (knit+crochet options, typically coffee cup cozy sized). Reusable zippered pouch. Small notion (eg, ruler, yarn needle). 5% back every quarter, so the $10/month is sort of $9.50. More familiar yarn brands.
Jimmy Beans Tosh Shawl Club: 80 yards of Tosh Merino Light (single ply, hand dyed, exclusive), year long mystery shawl pattern to go with yarn. Same deal with the cashback. No extras, though their cardboard shipping boxes are solid enough that we're reusing them for small electronics projects.
Yarn Indulgences mini-a-month: 100 yards hand dyed on their different bases, which look pretty nice! No pattern, no regular extras. (They say they might do that occasionally.) $10/month but prepaid subscriptions get a discount, so I got a year's worth for $110, equivalent to $9.17/box.
Each one has its strengths, but this new one definitely wins for most yarn! This is what i wanted because I'm hoping to spark some creativity with mini skeins and maybe do some pattern creation over the year.
Posted in yarn, yarn indulgences club, yarn subscription.
I'm not what one would call a monogamous knitter: that is, I don't do one project at a time. But things have gotten a little out of hand because I start a new project with every trip, and I've had a lot of trips since the fall with not enough time in between to finish things. So my normal "one bigger/more challenging at home, one for in my purse" has ballooned to… I don't know, maybe 7-9 projects?
It's a bit silly of me to start a mystery knit a long, especially when I'm probably not even going to get to do the full yarn crawl this year (J is traveling, my friend who usually comes down to visit can't make it this year, and I'm not up to toddler wrangling through 11 incredibly busy stores on my own. I'm planning maybe 2-3?). But I was watching from afar (literally: reading the Ravelry threads from New Zealand) and people were saying that this year's knit was challenging and had unusual construction, and I was curious enough to try.
The gold colour is what I chose for colour 1. I love this yarn so much. This was an impulse buy at Knotty Lamb maybe during last year's crawl, and it's from Farmer's Daughter yarns.
Colour 2 is Madeline Tosh and I might not have enough of it, but I liked the two together so much that if i have to bind off in colour 1 to make this work, so be it. I picked up that one at I think Knit Purl (now closed) a few years ago in the crawl.
As promised, some interesting construction. Can you see the yarn overs at the edges?
I'd never done a "reverse" icord bind off!
And then on to picking back up for clue 2… Clue 3 is already out, so I'm quite behind! But, life, toddler, and if you look in the back of that photo, I'm learning pcb design too. Sometimes the must amazing thing about being an adult is that I hardly ever have to be bored!

So you know when people ask you if you could only have one make-up item that you live with what would it be? Well I usually say eyeliner or mascara, and although that is still some make-up items that I wouldn't want to live without, lipstick is becoming something that I seriously can't live without. I love that lip sticks can give you that pop and make your look so different, and so much better. I've said it before how much I love lipstick but my current obsession is matte lipsticks!
I love how matte lip colors look on someone. I think its so classy and pretty. Something that stood out a lot in Spring/Summer fashion shows this year was the bold lip color, but they were matte lip colors. I really am not a huge fan of the super shiny glossy look for myself, so now that matte lip colors are in I am so happy.
These four lipsticks are some that I have and love, so I would highly recommend all four. I've talked about my Bobbi Brown True Pink lipstick and I love it, but these other three are so fun and they will definitely give you that bold, matte lip color. If you aren't wanting to spend a whole lot on lipsticks then NYX is where its at for you! For only six dollars you get a great lipstick and they have tons of different colors to choose from.
I love that first lip color. I used to wear only lip glosses but I wear lip stick a lot more now. Gotta have it!!
That Volga color is SO pretty!!
That Chanel color is amazing!
i agree! lipstick can really make a look! love matte lips! so pretty!
Love the color by Chanel!


It has been rather slow here for the past couple weeks, and I feel I take most of the blame on that one. You see, two weeks ago I got both married and moved into a new house all within the same weekend. This roller-coaster of insanity has resulted in two things: an empty bank account, and one hell of a cold. Okay, I guess the third is the beginning of a life of happiness and fulfillment, but my cold has kind of got me bitter and resentful right now.
I promise that now that all of this life stress is over, I can restart anew with the same level of commentary and content I was producing in the past, if not better. So here's to life, love, and all that gooey stuff, and to a future of extreme geekiness.

2019 Mini Clubman has much time conducted the rank of one of the greatest automobiles that you can buy, and its redesign will provide a sharp and also modern look to help it become more attractive. Unfortunately the display is old time, and at this time it's a chance to redesign the others. Hopefully 2019 Mini Clubman offers a new look, powertrain, even more.
Visually, it does not have any full info offered, but there are attractive spy illustrations. We hope to find out the company replace the existing fascia heavy design and provide a round 2019 Mini Clubman fascia that includes renewed headlights and a shorter hood. Spying pictures also show up more screen right behind the A-pillar, which will help boost visibility going forward, will probably continue. We also expect to see the taillights to take a horizontal arrangement, eliminating the old vertical taillights.
Despite the fact there is not much approved from the Corporation about 2019 Mini Clubman powertrain, we hope to feel major changes. The significant adjust will remove the old engine that supports a 1 liter turbocharged engine. In the old shape, this powerplant creates large hp, still this can change before the 2019 Mini Clubman launch.
While this vehicle in the same class sometimes competes in accident tests. Currently, this automobile has done well in most testing IIHS has finished four collision tests and front crash elimination tests, and this car is actually enjoying the highest ranking in all. We never believe 2019 Mini Clubman to take a step back in safety equipment or even rankings.
The manufacturers has not unveiled information about 2019 Mini Clubman, so there is not any info about when it will debut. With the future year's design available quickly, we don't have to wait long for official reports about this.
Regardless that hopefully that everything is going to be new for up coming year, we do not expect a large cost change from the current cost range which include destination rates.
