I love the crisp look of the white farmhouse style exterior! The builder had decided on the exterior style before we started selections for this house so I suggested a slightly more modern twist on the farmhouse style for the interior. I know it's still very popular in Tulsa, but we are seeing less and less farmhouse designs trending.
This shell backsplash in a chevron pattern looks modern, but also natural. We mixed cabinet colors in the kitchen using white and a dark navy/black. The shell pulled in both colors. It also didn't compete with the gorgeous quartzite countertops!
Here you can see the mix of cabinet paint colors in the kitchen. Also the stainless refrigerator and ovens next to the brushed gold hardware on the cabinets. Matte black stairrail in the background also ties in with the lighting in the kitchen!
These pendant lights are the bomb in person. The black iron makes them a little more toned down and it ties into the black iron round chandelier in the eating area. We mixed gold, stainless and black metals in the kitchen area. It works beautifully! Don't be afraid to try it. The secret is in balancing the amount of each metal you use.
Stacked quartzite on the fireplace all the way to the ceiling makes an impact in the den. The white quartzite has just a little sparkle and dressiness. I like to also have a good balance of more dressy or formal to casual and earthy elements.
I used a fun-but-subtle wallpaper on the back wall of the bar area. Because it's tone on tone, the pattern isn't overwhelming. I loooove the brass lamp above. It's jointed so it can move back and forth and it adds just a little farmhouse style.
Rustic wood look tile paired with faux marble and brushed gold...and the ebony stained cabinets. Again a mix of rustic (the floor) and elegant (marble, brushed gold, dark stained cabinets). The builder found the wood look tile and I loved it. It's some of the best I've seen. Notice that we went pretty high on the shower tile and glass. We originally debated going to the ceiling with the shower tile, but decided that could feel overwhelming. I think where we settled is high enough to bring your eye upwards, but still allows the bathroom to feel warm and proportional.
These are just a few of the photos from this project. Check out all of them in our Boston Court gallery!! Leave us a comment about what you like, what you think of the farmhouse look or any questions you may have!
Wow!!! This ultra fab, hip client wanted to remodel her powder bath, master bath, and kids bath. May I just say that she has great taste! I sat down with her and her husband to discuss the powder bath. We chose a faux grasscloth in navy blue (little kids and real grasscloth don't mix well). The light fixture needed to be the centerpiece. Client Fab and I loved the Starburst gold fixture but her husband was like nah...... Reference pic, need I say more. He loves it now!! We kept the wood floors in the bath and her gold mirror.
A dark charcoal grey for the new vanity with fabulous gold and lucite handles.
Please note that this is the BEFORE pic of the master bathroom!! Their master is very large, but was very dated. She loves calacutta marble and wanted grey tones.
We took out the old cultured marble, jetted tub and replaced with an undermount soaker tub topped with grey and white quartz. The tub front is herringbone patterned white calacutta marble. There's a removable panel in there somewhere to access plumbing if needed. The tile guys did such a great job that it's hard to see!
*Crickets* I'm speechless at how this shower turned out. We removed part of one wall to open up the end and replaced a ton of the sheetrock with glass. We also expanded the shower into the closet (It was his closet. He just can't win). Again white marble in a herringbone pattern on the walls and we took the tile to the ceiling to make it feel even larger. We used a ceramic tile on the floor and carried it into the shower floor for continuity.
Her husband is a tall man!! Bless his heart for putting up with these old standard 32" high cabinets.
He won here. 36" high alder cabinets are probably saving his back! Love the bronze hardware and faucets she chose. They have more of a copper tone compared to regular oil rubbed bronze. She chose the mocha color for the walls. I had my doubts, but it ended up perfect!!
On her side, we added a pull out for her hair dryer, curling iron, etc. and a pull out hamper. We captured the space to the side of her vanity for a linen closet.
On to the kids bath! There was a wall between the vanity and the toilet/shower area. Their idea was to take it out and open the bath up! Good idea! We shifted the tub/shower to the back wall and added a pocket door to help with all the door swings.
Love the new grey, shaker style cabinets and the hex white marble look tile on the floor. Real marble would have been Not-kid-friendly! Dark grey grout on the floor to contrast.
3x6 charcoal grey subway on the shower walls with white grout. We always use Pro Fusion grout which resists those stains. Don't be afraid of light grout!!
Let us know what you think!! We LOVED working with this family and look forward to our next project with them!!
We have been working with this physician and his wife on their home for some time now. He decided to move offices and asked us to help with the design! What a fun project! The clients are so respectful and trusting of my expertise, as I would be of theirs. (She started and runs 2 businesses, and he's a neurologist).
We started with a very dated shell of yellow walls and yellow wood work. Our saving grace was the cabinetry in grey and some neutral counters. How to make the yellow wood look more current? Change the wall color to a creamy off white.
More contemporary chairs in the reception area that still have warm colors to bring in the wood color. This piece of contemporary art is amazing! Lots of color and gold gilt accents.
The physician's family is Cuban and they have a wonderful Cuban artist friend that created this hand painted tile backsplash in the kitchen area. I LOVE the color and that it reflects the doctor's heritage. We added cabinetry here but couldn't exactly match the grey cabinets that were existing in the office. I chose dark espresso wood which made sense with the dark LVT wood floor. Grey leather, modern counterstools complete the area.
The contractor left the ugly, ruined formica backsplash behind the sink area. What to do? Running out of time and needed a solution....we wallpapered it with vinyl which should be super durable. Looks so much better than new formica could!
We went all out on the physician's personal office with drapery panels, upholstered chairs, a grey leather executive desk chair and cherry wrap around desk. He spends alot of hours here and his wife wanted it to be comfortable. Sculpture is by his Cuban artist friend.
Awesome art in an exam room.
My husband and I moved into a fabulous french home. We did alot of the remodel before we moved in (for my mental health). The master bath was a top priority that took 2 years to get to. I'll admit part of it was me putting it off because, though I ask my clients to be patient during remodel, I knew I would not be!!! Hey, I admit my weakness. The before pics above had terrazo tile floors which I loved and would have kept, but the grout lines were a mile wide and some of the tiles were badly cracked. The window was cracked. The shower leaked. The vanities were only 32" tall. My vanity had a knee space that I never used and I sure wanted that space for storage. Cultured marble counters were yellowed.
New 36" vanities, beautiful quartzite counters, and I love my round mirrors and makeup mirror! I wanted a hotel feel, so I went with chrome fixtures but mixed in gold on the mirrors. You don't have to stick with one finish!
White marble, Fabricut wallpaper (love me some wallpaper), and my crown jewel Visual Comfort ceiling fixture.
Grey parquet large tile floor with marble mosaic shower floor. Frameless shower glass REALLY makes a difference. More expensive, but soooo worth it.
The complete remodel only took 2 weeks, but I'm telling you, I was fried at the end. I'm a big baby when it comes to dust and chaos in my personal space. It was really good for me to experience it though. It certainly makes me more compassionate toward my clients.
Lighting can be so much fun, and is a key element in design that can make a home feel custom. There are a few key things to consider when choosing lighting. Today, we will focus on variety, sizing, and light output.
I challenged Alex to come up with her ultimate lighting scheme for a home and I did the same.
Just like furniture, I don't like the lighting to "match", or all be from the same family. It looks like a builders special. Below are couple of examples of coordinated lighting, whose styles and material are not a perfect match. The first I put in a dining room. The room has navy blue walls, so the white looks WOW.
Keeping with the gold and white scheme, I put these sconces in the powder bath. Love the glass tail on the sconce!
This beauty goes in the den. Though it's more old world and french, I love that it is different and still ties in with the white and gold.
In the same open concept room, these lanterns hang over the kitchen island. The mix of contemporary and old world works and is so interesting!
Personally, I love bold fixtures that are a mix of classic and modern. The shape of this fixture is more modern than I typically go for, but nevertheless, it is gorgeous. The opaque glass in combination with the gold and black offers awesome contrast. I could see this over a dining room table, or in a living room.
This pendant reminds me of a street light, the hearty black looks great with the brass details. I could see these hanging over a kitchen island.
Lastly, I picked out this sconce. It reminds me of a pearl earring in a gold setting, and would look wonderful adorning the wall of a dining room, or powder bath.
A wall I run into again and again with client's is the "dreaded Pottery Barn." Their fixtures look great and have a great price point, but when you really look at what you are getting it's usually too small and has low light output. The one below is a great looking light, not a bad size at 28" (still too small for me), but only uses three 60 watt candleabra bulbs. I wouldn't be able to see what I was eating with that little light!
Thanks for taking the time to check out some of our favorite lighting fixtures, and hints and tricks. Lets us know which are your favorites down below!
Trend alert: Just as with fashion, home styles change often. I'm old enough now to giggle to myself when I see styles coming back around with a new twist. It seems to me that we just divested ourselves of all the polished brass fixtures and door knobs and here comes gold again with a BANG.
This time around it's brushed instead of polished, but I AM IN LOVE!! I put a brushed gold faucet and knobs in my newly remodeled kitchen a year and a half ago with a little trepidation. Now I know it will be here to stay for a good while because gold has exploded on the home decor scene.
You know how we've been in a gray period for awhile now? Alot of you may just be getting on board. I've seen a shift toward white walls instead of grey, but the newest thing coming is warm color. Maybe not on walls yet, but definitely in fabrics. I see lush greens, caramels, amethyst being paired with the greys and whites to give drama and a "come and stay awhile" feel. I love the look of the all white interiors, but I don't think I could realistically live in them. I would constantly cringe when someone sat in my white chair, afraid of a stain.
Remember all that fabulous trim we used to layer in our french country style interiors? It's been out for years, but I see it coming back in fabulous new ways. I've been seeing boullion trim on the bottom of sleek sofas. Large scale trim on the edge of plain drapery panels. The piecies below can be purchased through The Design Shoppe.
And last but not least, we are seeing a lot of navy and camel. A beautiful combination that gives me "casual luxury".
What are some trends you've noticed lately. Let us know in the comment section!
Entropy refers to the idea that everything in the universe has a natural tendency to transform from order to disorder. This thermodynamic principle is probably best represented in my home. So the new year came and I was totally into organizing, cleaning, and decluttering. But now we are two weeks into the new year, approaching the time where new year's resolutions go to die. But wait! Does my New Year resolution of keeping a neat and tidy closet, coffee table, and crazy mess of a jewelry drawer (that never truly got the New Year overhaul) have to come to such a quick demise??
Personally I do not like folding, I'm prone to toss things into drawers and slam them shut. Out of sight out of mind, and no one has to know. But when it comes to things such as belts, scarves, and hats, I do not truly have a place for them. In the summer, the winter items stay packed away in far away lands. Come winter they are falling off the shelf I deemed their temporary home. Enter stage left: baskets.
Baskets are wonderful, big ones, small ones, and all inbetween are great additions to help your closet or even entry stay presentable. Now everything can have a home of its own.
I love the natural gradient pattern in these.
The coffee table, otherwise known as the gathering place for remotes, mail, magazines, and that self-help book I haven't picked up since January 5th. Normally, these are situated in the middle of the living room, which may not be the best place to display my broken promises--just kidding. This tip is probably something you've seen before, but is truly a gem. Trays are a way to add organization and another layer of decoration to your coffee table. By gathering your items on a tray you are not only organizing, but as life gets messier, it just looks purposefully collected. Next get rid of old mail, add a few other decorative items like a candle, small plant, or vase, and your table is stylized. I would also like to note that trays are universally useful in many other areas of the home including: the kitchen, bathroom, bedside table, and any other place where things just tend to gather.
A nicely organized jewelry area is the difference between me being a "plain jane" (which is usually the case), or a seemingly well put together lady. There are many options in this area, so I will focus on my personal favorites: small boxes and bowls. Along with trays, small boxes and bowls make the most of my space.
Some honorable mentions are thin velvet lined drawers, tiered trays, and wire sheeting that make it easier to find hangable earrings. All great ways to help me find what I need in the shortest amount of time.
These are some of MY favorite ways to keep my organized and on track for the New Year and beyond. What are some of your favorite organization tips and tricks for allowing your space to gracefully decline? Thank you for reading and let us know in the comment section below!
Firstly I'd like to say Happy New Year! It is finally starting to feel like wintertime in Tulsa, which has inspired me to gather a couple of cozy winter whites. We've picked up a couple of new lines and are excited to show off some of the new things we have to offer!
We are head over heels for this fringe sofa. What a cool way to incorporate such a tradional detail with a more modern shape. I loved this white leather scalloped swivel. True to Tulsa style, I've also picked this gorgeous french side chair that features an almost champagne fabric, and an elegant tufted sofa.
Now time for accessories! Here at The Design Shoppe, we. love. gold. So of course I had to add these lovely vases, and candle holders. The details of each are what truly make these pieces great.
Last but not least, nothing makes a home more cozy than the textiles. To add dimension to an all white space it's ok to throw in some off-white. And you'd definitely want to add texture, texture, texture! Below I have some ultra luxurious neutral rugs, cozy throws, and a woven pillow that would be the perfect addition to a neutral palette.
Let us know below what some of your favorite pieces are, and feel free to give us a call or email if you need help layering those neutrals!
As Michelle's assistant, I am new to the professional side of interior design. Before a few months ago my experience included my own DIY efforts, Pinterest, Blogs, and any social or print media I could get my hands on. On the job I have learned that one of the most important aspects of interior design has to be the client-designer relationship built on a foundation of trust and effective communication.
While watching Michelle, I've seen that she has a great knack for communication: by being able to truly listen to what the client wants, and have patience to decipher between that and what they believe they want. Although some clients may not know the terms to express what they are looking for, it is the designers job to ask the right questions. Michelle will also ask the clients to bring pictures, and utilize social media accounts like Pinterest and Houzz. Although sometimes, it's like when you bring a photo to the hair salon, you have round face and that ear length bob just isn't flattering. This is where the trust comes in.
For example, a client may have seen beautiful, contemporary interior and believe that this is exactly what they want.
As the client begins to feel the designer truly has an understanding of where they are coming from they usually relax, and begin to trust the designer to do her job. Freedom of expression is another aspect of trust and communication, a conversation where neither party has to walk on eggshells about their likes or dislikes. With trust and effective communication, misunderstandings are few and far between, allowing for a much smoother design process.
Thanks for taking the time to hear about my journey so far in design, let me know if you think I am right on, or have any other tips!
This weeks blog is focused on fashion trends you can find in interior design. It is kind of fun to be able to wear and experience your favorite trends on your body and in home. But I won't get ahead of myself, a lot of a trend can go too far. Some of my favorite fashion trends going on at the moment are lucite footwear, tweed, and fringe.
Translated into interiors we are seeing them in mostly furniture, materials, and accessories, respectively. Keep scrolling to see some of the cool finds.
Shoes: YEEZY Season 2 Lucite Heel found at revolve.com, VALIANT Pointed Boots by Unique found at topshop.com, Gianvito Rossi found at barneys.com. Bed: Oscarine Lucite four poster bed fround at anthroologie.com. Side Tables: Both to the trade pieces found at Made Goods.


Scientists have found that cell-free DNA (cfDNA) within in the blood can reflect differences in the age and health of individuals.
cfDNA refers to naked DNA fragments that occur within the bloodstream. The current study was designed to test whether changes in these fragments could be used to predict a biological age, which describes an individual's functional status rather than their chronological age.
In the study, cfDNA samples were taken from three groups of individuals – those in their twenties, those in their seventies and those over one hundred years of age. The last group was further subdivided into healthy and unhealthy individuals.
The results showed differences in the nucleosome spacing of cfDNA, which differed depending on age and health status. The nucleosome spacing of the cfDNA was regular in the volunteers in their twenties, but the spacing deteriorated with age, becoming least regular in the unhealthy centenarian group.
Another interesting finding was the similarity between the spacing of nucleosomes in healthy centenarians and the youngest group, rather than with the group in their seventies.
The differences suggests that healthy aging results in epigenomic characteristics similar to those of younger individuals. The reasons behind this are not clear, as many factors are involved in epigenomic changes, just as with all aspects of age-related changes. The cfDNA testing is aimed at providing a better insight into epigenetic changes and their significance.
The scientists used next-generation sequencing in combination with sophisticated computational analysis to recreate the spacing of the nucleosomes across various regions of the genome. This included both regions of heterochromatin and euchromatin.
Lead researcher Nicola Neretti said, "cfDNA is somewhat like a message in a bottle that captures what the cell looked like, epigenetically speaking, before it died". The state of the cellular components involved in maintaining regular nucleosome spacing degenerates with age.
The changes seen in spacing therefore reflect this deterioration, rather than being the result of the movement of the nucleosomes themselves or increases in their density.
On the other hand, when nucleosome positioning changes, different parts of the genome become more or less accessible, and this worsens the functioning of these components. One example is the liberation of normally immobile DNA segments called transposons.
The current study revealed that cfDNA signals decline with advancing age at the start of two frequently seen transposons. The inference could be that unhealthy centenarians, as well as people in their seventies, have transposons which are more mobile, and which are therefore replicating themselves into the genome, disrupting normal genetic processes.
The present study looked at cfDNA from only 12 individuals from Bologna, with three subjects in each age group. In order to correlate biological age with epigenetic markers, a much larger sample will be required. However, this should not be difficult, given the ease of collecting blood for cfDNA testing, compared to gathering tissue samples by invasive methods.
The best way, Neretti thinks, would be to look at cfDNA from a large population of individuals over two or three decades. This would enable tracking of the age-related epigenomic alterations taking place in each person's DNA, as well as the rate of such changes.
Studying a large number of individuals could make it possible to find associations between epigenomic differences and the person's lifestyle, diet, or medical conditions.
The study will be published today in the journal Aging Cell.
Researchers detect age-related differences in DNA from blood.

John Madden has worked in film, theatre radio and TV. His first big film hit was Shakespeare in Love although he did get two Oscar Nominations for Mrs. Brown. Captain Corelli's Mandolin was less well received with many considering Nicholas Cage miscast in the leading role as an Italian officer on the island of Kefalonia. The film is based upon a novel by Louis de Bernieres about the Italian invasion and occupation of the island of Kefalonia during the Second World War. After the Italians surrendered to the Allied armies in 1943 the Nazis recaptured the island. The Italian occupying troops had decided to resist the Nazis and as a result many were summarily executed in yet another inglorious chapter of Nazi atrocities.
Shakespeare in Love pulled off the difficult feat of being a bizarre hybrid genre film combining history, heritage and comedy in a film which had great appeal to audiences on both sides of the Atlantic thus ensuring it was a profitable enterprise and is a fine example of promoting tourism in the UK as well. The wonderful synergies of cultural industries!
Mrs Brown was about the relationship that the permanently in mourning Queen Victoria had with a former trusted servant of Prince Albert. Brown evenutally ended up having considerable influence over Queen Victoria.
Citizenship is something which has been under development since at least the American Revolution. For a considerable period of time notions of citizenship were based upon concepts and a history written by T. H. Marshall however this model has proved to be unsatisfactory in many ways and new concepts such as cultural citizenship and green or ecological citizenship are now emerging in response to changing societies.
T. H. Marshall wrote about the development of citiizenship in Europe. He argued that there were theree aspects of citizenship which had developed since the time of the French Revolution.
In the first instance there was citizenship formed around civil and economic rights. These were comprised out of the rights to trade, property rights and rights to a fair trial. Marshall identifies these as laregly developing during the course of the 18th century.
These were significantly developed during the 19th century and comprised of the rights to free association and the right to vote in democratically held elections. These 'rights' were of course fought for hard and it should be remembered that even in the UK a full one person one vote system wasn't in operation until the mid 1970s as there had been a property vote in Northern Ireland for the Stormont regional form of government.
This was largely a 20th century development although Bismarck established the first steps towards the welfare state at the end of the 19th century.
The British welfare state founded in 1945 wished to eradicate the five great social evils of poverty, illness, homelessness, ignorance and lack of work.
A social insurance system which provided some income for those made unemployed and also one which provided a system of universal state provided pensions.
There are issues with T. H Marshall's approach. Certainly the developments in these areas of citizenship haven't been a smooth progression and were fought for hard politically.
What is represented in all media forms is therefore an essential part of citizenship which through combining all aspects of citizenship means that every individual is embedded in a mutually constructed system of rights and responsibilities. A society progresses so the elements within a concept such as citizenship deepen and change.
The social theorist Nancy Fraser has argued that cultural recognition in terms of identity and representation, whether that be by ethnicity, gender etc must be accompanied by wealth redistribution if it is to be a meaningful right. If people are poverty stricken then to have abstract rights of representation is largely meaningless.
Social theorists are trying to arrive at a formulation which sees representation and the symbolic world as an important area for the development of individuals as citizens for the various aspects of media are the key platforms and opportunities for representation. The social aspects of citizenship such as education are tied into cultural citizenship information streams adn opportunities for interactive representation. This means that media content and control is far too important to the well-being of advanced societies to allow it to becoem commercialised. Without a good media system people would lack, information, education and representation.
It seems to me that theses are the fundamentals underlying a public service broadcasting system. Theses are the reasons why everybody who has any sense of citizenship must rally behind the BBC and its licence fee as the full digital age dawns. Any compromise inevitably betrays the weakest in society by throwing to the slick talking media dogs whatever platform they are pushing. Can we improve the BBC? Of course but lts do that from the strong base that has evolved so far.

Update: On September 29, 2017 the Fresno Council of Governments complied with our request and agreed to pay our attorney's fees. Their data can be found here.
Today, the Nevada Policy Research Institute (NPRI) filed a lawsuit in Fresno County Superior Court against the Fresno Council of Governments for refusing to comply with the California Public Records Act (CPRA).
The lawsuit stems from NPRI's work on its TransparentCalifornia.com website — which publishes the pay and pension data of nearly 2.5 million California public employees from over 2,000 unique government agencies.
The Council denied Transparent California's request for records documenting the names and wages of its employees on the grounds that such information is confidential.
The Council's rationale for withholding the requested public records contradicts longstanding California law, dating back to a 1955 official Attorney General Opinion that held that "the name of every public officer and employee, as well as the amount of his salary, is a matter of public record," and a 2007 state Supreme Court case which codified that same finding.
Thus, the Council has unlawfully denied a request to access public records, according to Transparent California research director Robert Fellner.
Transparent California's repeated attempts to inform the Council of their obligations under the law and elicit a lawful response went unheeded, leaving litigation as the only avenue available to access the public information sought.
The lawsuit asks the Court to compel the Fresno Council of Governments to comply with the CPRA and provide a copy of records documenting their employees' name and salary information so that it may be published online at TransparentCalifornia.com.
TransparentCalifornia.com is used by millions of Californians each year and has received praise for its ability to successfully improve transparency in government by elected officials, government employees, the media, and concerned citizens alike.

Q: How to make AppleScript simulate the keypress for "1" key? I am trying to simulate pressing the key 1 within a Java application. I have tried using key code 18, text to type, key down and keystrokes but whatever I try, the application displays the a character. Even when the script types into applescript window I just get aaaaaaa.
What am I doing wrong and how to properly simulate keypresses with AppleScript?

A: Did you try anything like the following?
tell application "System Events"
    keystroke "1"
end tell

You can pass string literals to System Events keystroke-Handler

I have been working on how to run a dungeon crawl convention game that is sort of like what I ran a couple of years ago at Barrage: light rpg with a boardgame/minis game feel. I want it to be somewhat random, so that I can run the same game again and again but not have it be exactly the same so that people can play in it more than once if they want to. The biggest stumbling block, frankly, is how to do the dungeon itself. It obviously needs to be modular, but the ones I had before while modular, were a) too big in terms of how many spaces were on each tile, b) not uniform enough so that you could avoid situations when the dungeon build was impossible (such as having a hallway be too long because it goes into an existing room), and c) they looked more than a little on the boring side. The tiles were flat pieces of thin wood with spaces painted on them ... <yawn!>.
So I decided to take a look at the tiles used in some of the dungeon crawl board games. There are several on the market where you build the dungeon as you go and you never know how it is going to turn out because each piece of the dungeon is randomly determined. This is exactly what I needed! There are several out there, but the ones I liked the best were from a game called "Dungeonquest." There are two versions, an old GW effort and an updated modern one, and both of them used the same types of tiles. They are squares with a random number of exits coming out of the tile. The thing is, though, that the exits are always centered in that side of the tile. This makes building a dungeon really easy and you do not run into the "tile won't fit here" problem because all the tiles are the same size, same shape, and the exits are always in the same place. Perfect! Plus, honestly, I think they look really cool!
So I decided to give it a go and make some out of foam. However, I wanted these to be a little more intricate than the foam ones I have been making which are essentially just a piece of thick foam with the floor painted on them and in some cases I draw on a grid. I wanted to use thick foam for the floor, thick foam for the sides, and thin foam for individual tiles. This would be some work, but I probably won't need more than 30 or so total tiles for a convention game that lasts a couple of hours.
The entrance is there on the far right, stairs leading down to the dungeon from the outside. The rest of the pieces are all the same size (9" squares) with a border for each depending on the type of room or hallway it is, and 1 1/8" thin foam tiles for the "squares" of the board. I of course added some dungeon "furniture" and heroes and monsters for looks.
Here are some close ups of the various tiles. First is the entry chamber.
Next is the torture room complete with Naga.
Now for the Troll's treasure chamber.
And finally another overview shot of a section of several tiles of the dungeon.
Here is a shot of a constructed but not painted tile. It makes it a little easier to see all the pieces. This is a "dead end" room that has only one entrance (at the top).
The tiles are durable, light, and easy to transport. Since they are all the same size I can stack them easily and they should take up very little space in a box when transported relative to how much space on the table top they take up. The construction takes a little bit of time, but most of the time is waiting for the glue to dry. Painting them is a breeze.
Although this might not be ideal for a traditional rpg situation where the rooms differ in size as do the hallways, for a convention board or minis based game, I think they will work very nicely.
Sorry for the delayed update, but I was trying something new, new, new with a monster figure and I just finished painting it last night. So that means pictures today!
The Naga is just the bead tentacle construction I've been doing lately with a simple round bead head and hair like I do for the character figures. I like how she turned out, but nothing new construction or painting wise.
The troll on the other hand, is an all new construction. Honestly, he was a test figure and I absolutely did not like him at all until I painted him. So what's new you ask?
You can't really see it in this picture, but his torso is completely different. I took two of the larger (I think they are 1.25") split eggs and glued them together smaller ends facing each other, but not overlapping completely. It produces "shoulders" in the back and a "belly" in the front. His arms and legs are the tapered beads, with hands a feet that are tile spacers. His head is a split wren's egg (the smallest split egg available) with a small bead split in two for the two eyes. The nose is also tile spacer, and the hair is paper. He also has two "buttocks" that are made with a split bead as well (you'll see them in a later picture). The arm muscles, mouth, facial contours, etc. are all done with the hot glue gun.
The Naga didn't look like much until I got the hair on her, then she really took shape. I'm happy with the figure, but I think next time I'll go with larger beads to make the figure larger and more impressive. This is a "young Naga" let's just say.
I went for more anatomical correctness, and most of the time trolls don't wear any sort of clothing, so this is "pants optional Saturday."
The two Fighters thought it was a good idea to bait the Naga and Troll forward so the Thief could get in a backstab ... but they are having second thoughts at this point!


Great product. Very fast delivery. Recommend Tayna to everybody.
Excellent product, with extremely good service from Tanya. Well packaged and very quick delivery, works a treat in my folding camper. I chose a high capacity batter in preparation of having a motor mover fitted in the near future and have no doubt that this is ideal.

1965 NCAA Final UCLA vs Michigan, 1976 NCAA champion Indiana Hoosiers, 1992 NCAA Final Duke vs Michigan, 2018 NCAA Final, 2018 NCAA Tournament, Chris Weber, Duke, Gail Goodrich, Kansas, Kris Jenkins, Loyola of Chicago, Michigan, Rick Pitino, UCLA 7 straight championships 1967-1973, Villanova
Villanova/Michigan Final Notes And Prediction
After both teams covered the spread as 5 point favorites in their national semi-final tilts yesterday, Villanova has been established as a 7 point favorite vs Michigan, for tomorrow night's NCAA title game, in San Antonio, Texas.
Villanova, bidding for its second title in three seasons, won the '16 crown beating the '17 winner, North Carolina, as Kris Jenkins' shot was decisive, ripped Kansas, and will be in their fourth final game.
The Wildcats pulled a huge upset vs Georgetown to win the '85 crown and a slight one, in beating "N.C." for the '16 title.
Villanova is (2-1) in previous final games, having lost to the 5th straight U.C.L.A. title team, as an underdog that probably covered in defeat, back in 1971.
Michigan, now (7-1) in national semis with seven straight wins, after dispatching 11 seed Loyola of Chicago, is but (1-5) in previous title tilts. They lost twice to repeat champions, U.C.L.A. in '65 and Duke in '92, as well as an Indiana team in '76, that had two straight undefeated regular seasons, winning the title only once, but that as the last undefeated team to do so.
In losses to North Carolina in '93 (I do not like to chide any player for a costly bad play, however, after enduring Chris Weber's horrible babble during this tournament, I note/advise checking his gaffe, in Michigan's final loss to N.C.). In that tilt, Michigan might have been a slight underdog, while they were big "dogs" (what is a wolverine?) in the '13 loss, to a powerful one year team, Louisville, under Rick Pitino and all the "snake oil" that entails.
In conclusion, in their previous 9 combined title tilts, neither team has been a clear favorite (though Mich might have been minus 1 plus in its 1 pt. '89 title tilt win). Villanova (5-0) (5-0) is the favorite this time, but Michigan (5-0) (3-2?) is certainly a viable threat and I predict will at least cover, if not win outright.
The great Gail Goodrich scored 42 points as UCLA beat Michigan in the 1965 NCAA Final.

Nintendo Just Unexpectedly Canceled the NES Classic
By Matt Peckham
April 13, 2017 3:27 PM EDT
Nintendo of America said Thursday it will discontinue the NES Classic Edition for the remainder of the year, effective immediately. In a statement, NOA said it expects to receive the last shipments of the system for the North American region in April. After that, the only way to get one will likely involve paying exorbitant scalper prices.
The pint-sized Nintendo Entertainment System emulator, which comes with 30 classic NES games for $59, has been all but impossible to find. It sold out immediately upon arrival last November, and has been driving a thriving secondary scalper market, where it typically goes for two to three times its suggested retail price. With word of Nintendo's imminent and ostensibly permanent discontinuation, it only stands to reason those prices are going to soar.
Though the statement stipulates "for this year," technically leaving open a post-2017 door, it's hard to imagine the NES Classic Edition returning post-holidays in 2018.
Update: In a statement to TIME, Nintendo adds "At this time, we have no plans to produce more NES Classic Edition systems for NOA regions."
Here's Nintendo's statement in full:
Throughout April, NOA territories will receive the last shipments of Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition systems for this year. We encourage anyone interested in obtaining this system to check with retail outlets regarding availability. We understand that it has been difficult for many consumers to find a system, and for that we apologize. We have paid close attention to consumer feedback, and we greatly appreciate the incredible level of consumer interest and support for this product.
It wouldn't take all of the sting out of this announcement, but Nintendo explaining more about its plans for legacy emulation on its just-as-hard-to-find Nintendo Switch might quell some of the pushback sure to come from this decision. We know the company plans to sell both NES and Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) games when it launches its paid online service for the Switch later this year, but little else.
But for now, as they say, it's "So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, good night."

I ****ing HATE those lugs, I can't find high quality ones, plus they don't work with extended studs for obvious reasons. I can't stand replacing lugs every two months because the cheapo's always get stripped or some ****. Should I just bite the dog and get the holes on my rims machined out so they will fit? I don't think it would be horribly expensive and it would put an end to my extremely annoying problem. The only reason I ask if I should do this is...would it compromise the structural rigidity of my rims?
boring out rim, that sounds dangerous, not to mention you can't leave that alloy/aluminum/whatever open, pretty sure you'll have to clear or repaint the part bored out.
just remember from what steph told me..
I don't have that much money lol, and I doubt I will by the time Spring rolls around...unless I sell my Shoguns. And I really have no idea how much they're worth.

You can interpret our ratings in the following way:
5-Star: Outstanding vehicle. Only the most exceptional vehicles achieve this rating.
4-Star: Very Good vehicle. Very good and close to being the best vehicle in its class.
3-Star: Good vehicle. Decent, but not quite the best. Often affordable, but lacking key features found in vehicles of the same class.
2-Star: Below average vehicle. Not recommended, and lacking attributes a car buyer would come to expect for the price.

2022 Lincoln Navigator Preview
Justin Cupler
Automotive Editor - November 10, 2021
Model Preview
The Lincoln Navigator went through a thorough complete redesign in 2018, bringing in a refined corporate design and further separating this full-size SUV from its Ford Expedition cousin. Since its redesign, the Navigator has been through a few minor feature and package updates, but it's remained mostly unchanged. We expect the 2022 Lincoln Navigator to stay the same, but there is an outside chance Lincoln releases a surprise refresh.
The 2018 model year was a biggie for the Navigator, as Lincoln gave it a well-deserved overhaul that brought in the latest corporate styling. This included all-new wheels, grille, headlights, chrome usage, and more to go along with its revised sheet metal. This not only pushed the Navigator up the luxury scale, but it also drove a wedge between it and its Expedition source material – a wedge that was lacking in previous years. The Navigator has received a few new packages and other updates since its redesign, but nothing overly dramatic. We expect the 2022 Lincoln Navigator to carry on with the same design, but don't be shocked if the automaker slips in a light refresh too.
The Navigator's interior also went through a massive change in the 2018 redesign, bringing in more premium materials, intelligent use of wood and metal trim, and a more upscale design overall. It also gained a new dash-top 10-inch touchscreen to replace the old-school in-dash unit from the previous generation. The interior is one area we could imaging Lincoln doing some tweaks, so keep an eye out for that, although we expect it to be a carryover.
The current Navigator delivers power in gobs from its twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 that pounds out 450 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque. This hustles through a 10-speed automatic transmission and out to the rear wheels or all four wheels. This powertrain allows the Navigator to tow up to 8.700 pounds. We expect this powertrain to carry on unchanged in the 2022 Navigator.
The current-generation Navigator hasn't been through IIHS testing, so there are no official scores for it. We know the current Navigator comes standard with adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitors, active lane control, and automatic emergency braking. Lincoln also offers an optional surround-view camera, head-up display, active parking assist, and automatic high-beam headlights. We expect these standard safety features to remain the same on the 2022 Navigator.
Pricing & Release Date
The 2022 Navigator can be ordered now.
The MSRP for the 2022 Navigator starts at $78,005, close to the 2021 model's $77,480 to $102,620 MSRP range (destination fees included).
The large luxury SUV will compete with the Cadillac Escalade, INFINITI QX80, and Land Rover Range Rover.

2022 Lincoln Navigator Review
Joel Patel
Automotive Editor - January 19, 2022
- High-end design
- Punchy twin-turbo V6
- Opulent interior
- Impressive tech features
- Mega size
- Don't ask about fuel economy
- Black Label themes are pricey
Enormous Size With Substance. For such a large vehicle, the 2022 Lincoln Navigator certainly looks like it belongs in a well-tailored suit. Few large SUVs manage to look good and hide their substantial size, but that's what the Navigator does well. With sculpted body lines and an imposing stance, the Navigator is one of the more stylish SUVs on sale.
Lincoln has slightly updated the Navigator's design for 2022, improving upon the SUV's already good looks. The Navigator comes with adaptive LED headlights and LED taillights that have a three-dimensional welcome and departure lighting scheme. The grille has also been slightly updated, as has the front end, though things don't look drastically different.
Major Tech Update. Technology is one of the focal points of the updates on the 2022 Navigator. The SUV's 10-inch touchscreen has been replaced with a much larger 13.2-inch unit. The larger touchscreen is now running Lincoln's SYNC 4 infotainment system, which is far more advanced than last year's SYNC 3 system. The new infotainment system brings wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, over-the-air software updates, and a 5G Wi-Fi hot spot.
In the back, passengers get a new 5.8-inch digital module that lets them control the rear climate and audio settings. A rear-seat entertainment system is available that includes a 10-inch screen, wireless headphones, and wireless streaming through Amazon Fire TV. Passengers in the Navigator can also enjoy the rich sound from an available 28-speaker Revel Ultima audio system.
Another new feature that makes its debut for the 2022 model year is Active Glide. It's Lincoln's take on a semi-autonomous driver-assist system and allows for hands-free driving on more than 130,000 miles of mapped highway roads in North America. Just like Ford's Blue Cruise system and General Motors' Super Cruise, a driver-facing camera keeps an eye on the driver, while the system handles most of the driving. With the new system, the Navigator proves to be a better competitor to the Cadillac Escalade.
Luxurious People Carrier. Even the base Navigator feels more luxurious than the majority of vehicles that compete in the class. For a truly luxurious experience that only a few competitors can match, the Navigator's higher trim levels are the way to go. With heated and ventilated seats and updated massaging seats in both rows, the Navigator's cabin spoils passengers. Not to mention, the Navigator's available 30-way adjustable front seats are some of the most comfortable chairs available in a modern vehicle.
Lincoln has introduced two new themes for its range-topping Black Label trim including the Central Park and Invitation. Both impress with features like open-for wood, laser etched trim pieces, rich leather upholstery, and unique color schemes. While Black Label trims are outrageously expensive, they certainly go big on the luxurious front.
Thanks to the Navigator and available Navigator L's body large body, the SUV offers an incredible amount of interior space. Both models offer up to 40.9 inches of third-row legroom, which is one of the largest figures for the segment. Cargo volume in the Navigator and Navigator L is equally as impressive, with the former being able to hold up to 103.3 cubic feet of cargo and the latter maxing out at 120.2 cubic feet of cargo space.
Surprisingly Comfortable Ride. Others in the segment come with a V8 engine, but the Navigator continues to come with a twin-turbo V6. While that sounds like the Navigator's at a disadvantage, that's not the case. The twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 in the Navigator produces 450 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque. The V6 engine produces plenty of grunt to get the hefty SUV down the road despite its blocky blueprint.
More impressive than the Navigator's straight-line performance is the way it handles. Usually, large SUVs with body-on-frame configurations ride like fancy pickup trucks. That's not the case with the Navigator, which rides far better than the majority of other large SUVs in the class. The SUV comes with adaptive suspension as standard, but for 2022, Lincoln has added a forward-facing camera to prepare the suspension for incoming bumps. This should result in even better ride quality.
As one would expect, the Navigator is far from efficient. Despite coming with a V6 engine, the Navigator still guzzles fuel. Fuel economy figures for the 2022 model aren't available yet, but the 2021 SUV is rated to get up to 18 mpg combined with rear-wheel drive.
Final Thoughts. The number of large luxury SUVs continues to grow, but the 2022 Lincoln Navigator remains a compelling choice for drivers that want an old-school vehicle. The changes for the 2022 model year make the Navigator more high-tech and luxurious, improving on things it already did well. It may not have the same power or stately handling as some of its rivals, but the Navigator works as a luxury barge.
As competition, the Jeep Grand Wagoneer offers a gorgeous cabin, a dizzying amount of technology, a powerful V8 engine, and a serene ride on the highway. The Cadillac Escalade is brimming with technology, comes with a standard V8 engine, is available with a somewhat efficient diesel engine, offers a generous amount of cargo space, and has a smooth ride that mimics a luxury car.

You just need strawberries and suns in level 273 but there are slime squares across the center of the board.
The good thing is you have seeds and water to change the slime to grass.
Make sure when you use the seed that it is next to the slime so it does the most good. If you can change as much as possible to grass you'll have the best chance to collect the crops you need.


I really enjoyed this. It has shades of Ugly Betty and The Devil Wears Prada, but at the same time is unique.
Josie is 17 and in her first year of a journalism degree at the local uni. With the dream of becoming an internationally acclaimed journalist, she's not pleased about being assigned an internship at a fashion magazine. As the magazine is based in the city, and she lives too far to commute, she stays with her cousin, Tim, in his city apartment. Tim didn't tell Josie about his tall, attractive, funny flatmate, and Josie soon finds herself falling for him. Things develop fairly predictably from there, but the story is well written and the characters are engaging and likeable, so this didn't dull my enjoyment of the story.
The supporting characters are used well, and the predicaments Josie finds herself in are excruciating, yet completely believable.
The main characters could have been 20 or even 30 and the story still would have worked. It's a classic "chicklit" storyline aimed at a YA/NA audience, without some of the traps typical YA romances fall into.
I found the book quite compelling and read it in one sitting. I look forward to the release of Faking It early next year.


The new music video from Childish Gambino weaponizes the viewer's instinctive bodily empathy.
"This Is America" isn't the first time that Donald Glover, as his musical alter ego Childish Gambino, has harnessed dance in service of surrealism. But the art form has a conspicuous symbolic significance in the artist's latest single, which Glover debuted on Saturday Night Live: The song's emphasis on dance was apparent in his live performance on the show, in the cover art for the track, and in the remarkable music video itself, which has more than 36 million views on YouTube as of publication. In the video, a grinning, shirtless Glover dances through a giant warehouse, occasionally accompanied by black school children in uniform, as chaotic scenes of violence unfold behind him—and are sometimes enacted by him.
One popular interpretation is that the short film—directed by Glover's frequent collaborator Hiro Murai—is a denunciation of the distractions that keep many Americans from noticing how the world around them is falling apart. Those diversions are represented by Glover and the schoolkids' performances; their choreographed moves include at least 10 different popular dances, such as the shoot and the South African Gwara Gwara. Viral dances tend to be associated with frivolity and vapidity, despite the fact that dancing has always been a communicative art of great cultural significance that spreads joy through movement. Glover, however, subverts an uplifting communal activity to deliver a powerful indictment of the unsettling contradictions in American society.
Decades later, inspired by '90s research on so-called mirror neurons—cells discovered in the brains of monkeys that react equally when the body performs an action as when it sees the action performed—modern dance theorists such as Ivar Hagendoorn and Susan Leigh Foster applied the idea to humans. Kinesthetic empathy, critics like Foster have argued, is what makes dance feel so infectious—and what prompts the body, upon seeing another body dance, to internally simulate the movement.
If you watch "This Is America" on YouTube, you might stumble on videos of people who recorded their own reactions to it. Many of these viewers sway along with Glover at first, rolling their own shoulders, nodding to the afro folk–inspired melody as the musician twists his bare torso, revealing his own musculature and contorting his body in ways both alluring and disturbing. But the benign nature of that contagion is shattered when the first gunshot rings out 53 seconds in, and with the jarring transition of the melody to dark, pulsing trap. In the reaction videos, mouths fall open, and people are stunned into paralysis. The shooting itself is shocking, but so is that fact that Glover carries on dancing as if nothing happened.
An internal struggle begins in the viewer's body, which is pulled between joy and horror. Just as the video questions how we can dance when there is pandemonium all around, the audience struggles with whether to continue moving, too, after witnessing such brutality, especially after Glover shoots an entire choir of gospel singers, supposedly in reference to the 2015 murder of nine churchgoers by Dylann Roof in Charleston, South Carolina.
Susan Leigh Foster, in her paper and performed lecture Kinesthetic Empathies and the Politics of Compassion, outlines Martin's idea that the internal mimicry of movement extends to emotion, which gives dance the ability to transcend class, cultural, and racial barriers. While there's certainly value in this potential for universalism, "This Is America" complicates the question of empathy (intentionally or otherwise) because of its references to racial trauma and racist violence. Does the video—which foregrounds black suffering—aim to send a single message to all viewers, to all Americans, regardless of race? Some people were especially troubled by the shooting of the choir: If the scene is meant to evoke an atrocity committed by a white terrorist with a specifically anti-black agenda, what does it mean to see a black man re-create it? And to bring the issue back to the video's use of dance, what does it mean for nonblack viewers to internally simulate movement inspired by black pain?
Because of all the thorny debates it prompts—and because of how much there is to process, both intellectually and emotionally—"This Is America" seems made for repeat watching. But the dancing, too, reveals its power in a second and third viewing. The dramatic irony is pervasive. It even feels like Glover is aware of your presence. His satisfaction that the viewer has been lulled into a false sense of security seems apparent in the languidness with which he pulls out that gun from his waistband, poses, and then shoots the hooded man in the head.
This kind of empathy means viewers cannot, really, just be passive observers. The video's juxtaposition of carefree dancing with carnage and disorder, the vacillation between the gospel-Afrobeat hybrid and the harsher, sparse rap reflects the discord in the audience's bodies, our faces perhaps displaying discomfort while our bodies betray us. In doing so, "This Is America" perverts the positive potential of dance's collective nature, taking it from something celebratory to something far more disturbing that implicates us all.

The week I was at Hickory was one of the busiest of the year for the team with 10 events all running in just 5 days! It was very interesting to observe everything that happens in the run up to multiple events and how challenges are solved quickly.
I started the week working in the main office, completing a number of administration jobs and researching the history of an exclusive venue for the Board of Directors. On the Tuesday I worked with the logistics team in a hands-on role, packing kits to go to events. Their department is essential to every event as it's crucial to have the correct items to ensure events run smoothly.
Wednesday and Thursday were spent with the Eskmills team who manage all events for Eskmills Venue including weddings, proms and celebrations. I created event packs ensuring all event schedules, table plans, menus and any other necessary information was ready for the event manager for each event. I met with clients who were looking at the venue or had already booked it and contributed to the organisation and set up of a school prom which happened on the Wednesday evening.
My second day in the Eskmills office involved helping with staffing for a high-profile event, ensuring all staff had the correct documentation for it. I liaised with an entertainment provider, finding out more about their services and prices, and helped with deliveries for events later in the week. With the Sales and Event designer, I met with one client and went over the final details for her wedding whilst collecting props that she dropped off for her big day.
On Friday Hickory hosted an exclusive event for one of their corporate clients at a renowned venue and I assisted in the smooth running of the operation. Plus, I got to see the event in action from the team delivering equipment, props and food and drinks to the designers styling the venue and creating an unforgettable event!
My busy week working at Hickory went extremely quickly but I loved it. I was able to contribute to the planning, creation and overall delivery of events, ensuring that all preparation was complete. Every department's role within the business is significant and the staff work closely with one another in the planning of events, ensuring they run without a hitch. The experience gave me a different perspective of how businesses are run and the work they do. I got to experience each stage of an event from initial enquiry to event delivery and worked with different teams to see the business from different sides. One of the big events I was involved with started to be planned a year before the event was due to take place. This shows the volume of planning and organisation required for large scale corporate events and it was fantastic to see the end result.
I am now part of the front of house team, working across a range of events in some incredible venues. I love being part of a busy team and being part of Hickory!

It seems that the Idaho State Police department is putting its trust in Bingo. It's not the game we know and love in its usual sense but rather in the form of a dog.
The department has opted to revive its canine program. The Golden Retriever/Labrador mix called Bingo, or B for short, is the latest officer to join the force. In fact, Bingo and his handler are all there is to Idaho's current K-9 unit.
Bingo's handler, Trooper Steve Otto said, "Bingo's done very well...since we are a new team, we just certified less than a month ago."
"For right now, since he's such a new canine, we're trying to establish good statistics here in our district since he is stationed at District 4" said Otto.
In order for a canine to be certified in the state, they are required to undergo 16 hours of training per month. Otto works with Bingo for an hour each day.
"They're not just a pet. They're a tool that needs work constantly. We have to work with the dog on and off duty', said Otto.
Otto and Bingo had to work very hard for months in order to receive certification. "The process was actually rather lengthy," said Otto.
Bingo is certified in locating narcotics. "If an officer believes there may be drugs based on his training and experience...they'll call me out. I'm on call 24/7 so whenever they need me, I will go to their location and I will deploy my canine', said Otto.
If the pair is successful, there will be more K-9 units added throughout Idaho.

DISCLAIMER: I do strongly suggest you research before using essential oils. There is a lot of information to help you know what you need to know about essential oils and where to start. I am no means an expert. What I will be writing about is my journey with using essential oils. Any advice will be appreciated.
For the past week, I decided to jump on the essential oil train to see what the hype is about and I was not disappointed. Although, I do want to say this before diving deeper in my experience is that everyone is different. Some people may be sensitive or allergic to certain oils. In addition, people do connect with oils differently. I find that mixing oils a personal creative outlet. Have fun with it! Each essential oil has a few distinct benefits to it which depends on how or why you use them. For example, lemon helps with concentration but you could also use it to make homemade cleaners. Thus saying that, essential oils are known to help fight cold and flu symptoms, alleviate pain, improve digestion, clean your home, can be used to make personal care products, or help improve your mental or emotional state. In this particular post I will mostly be talking about my first weeks experience using them with the diffuser or applying them directly to the skin (also known as "topically').
So let's begin. One of my closest friends was describing to me the benefits she experienced with using essential oils. That started my interest in trying the whole thing out. Also, I grew tired of buying candles. For those who don't know me personally, I absolutely love candles. I felt that the aroma makes a home more comfortable so I would burn one all day long. That resulted in purchasing a candle almost every week which most of you know, can be pretty pricy.
I ventured out to my local supermarket and Marshalls to gather up the supplies without spending my entire bank account on it all. I found my diffuser for about $29.99, and the essential oils between $4.99-$9.99. These are pretty reasonable for the quality and the amount that was inside the vials of oil. Although, not all essential oils are created equally. Some brands are better than others due to how they achieve the purity of the oil with distillation processes. With starting out, I decided that going the cheaper route would be better.
I eventually started to mix after a quick Pinterest search and realized the significant difference in aroma. They typically smell different after a few hours because some oils evaporate quicker than others. It's all trial and error when mixing them. If one mix doesn't work out for you, that's okay. Try something else next time.
A personal favorite of mine was mixing Frankincense, Cinnamon, and Clove. The aroma is heavy, warm, and spicy. The reason why I love it so much is the similar reasons why I bought candles. It gives you the fuzzy and comfortable feelings inside. Perfect for the winter months where outside might be gloomy.
If you're looking for a more crisp and fresh scent, I typically enjoy mixing lavender, peppermint, and eucalyptus together. The aroma can be described as soothing, energizing, and cleansing. I especially like using this mixture whenever I'm having a rough day because it helps clear my mind and perks me up.
Below are some essential oils and their benefits.
I hope you enjoyed this first post about essential oils. I will be experimenting with the various ways of using essential oils and recording my experience with them. So stay tuned! Have something you want me to try or have any advice on using essential oils? Please comment below!

E Way Bill Registration & Login Process Online
1 Who should generate an e-way bill?
2 How to generate an e-way bill?
3 E-Way Bill Registration and Login
4 E-Way bill exemptions
5 How to Set E-Way User ID and Password
6 Advantages of e-Way bill
On the e-Way portal, an electronic waybill, better known as the e-way bill, is created for moving goods. It is an important document that is generated electronically and that must be borne by the person carrying any container load of goods in excess of INR 50,000 in value. The motion can be both inter-state and intra-state.
The digitized system has helped reduce the time and cost of invoice generation for nationwide goods transport. The introduction of e-way bills has reduced the number of checkpoints and the amount of time taken to verify goods in transit. It needed warehouse requirements and the costs of maintaining them. The online process has facilitated the generation of e-way bills for the logistics industry from anywhere in the country.
There are 4 key actors in the e-way bill manufacturers, consumers, transporters, and tax officers. The first three parties are interested in conveying a shipment from source to destination, while the tax officers are responsible for ensuring that both the manufacturers and the consumers pay for the shipment.
For this reason, both registered undertakings and unregistered transporters must complete e-way bill registration on the e-way bill portal to generate e-way bills, which is now a very important element in the transport or shipping of goods.
Who should generate an e-way bill?
If a registered person makes a move with a consignment of products, either as a buyer or a seller in his or her vehicle or a leased vehicle or by air, rail or ship, then he or she shall generate the electronic e-way bill in Form GST EWB 01 on the common portal by providing the correct information in Part B of the GST form.
How to generate an e-way bill?
Login to the e-way bill site, and press 'Generate New' on the Main menu tab.
It would appear that a bill generation form has to be filled in with the correct information. Select 'Outward' if you are a manufacturer and press 'Inward' if you are a recipient. Enter GSTIN wherever possible.
Once the GSTIN is entered, it will auto-fill the basic details. The second part of the form must be filled out with the product name and description, the HSN code, the applicable IGST or CGST rates and the approximate distance to be traveled.
Click on 'Submit' after filing in the details to generate the e-way bill. To generate a consolidated e-way bill, you must enter the 'e-way bill number' in the appropriate field and click "Send."
E-Way Bill Registration and Login
Go to your https:/ewaybillgst.gov.in e-way bill portal.
Locate 'Registration' at the top of the page and insert the cursor. You will have to select 'e-Way Bill Registration' from a drop-down menu.
Enter the new screen with your GST Identification Number, enter the captcha code, and click 'Go.'
You'll be redirected to a new page where you need to generate and verify a One-Time Password. This page auto-populates your details, such as the GSTIN, name, trade name, and address. Click on 'Send OTP' after you have checked the details and ensured that they are correct. Clicking on 'Verify OTP' will need to enter and verify the OTP.
You will be redirected to a new page where along with a password, you can create a new user ID.
E-Way bill exemptions
The carriage of goods is through a non-motorized vehicle.
In the event that the goods being transported have a customs seal and were carried under customs supervision.
In the case of transit freight being transported from or to Bhutan or Nepal.
In case the containers carrying the cargo are empty.
If the consignor of the goods is the government of the State, the central government, or a local authority and the goods are transported by rail, there is no need to generate an E-Way bill.
In case goods are transported to a Container Freight Station or an Inland Container Depot for customs clearance purposes from airports, ports, lands customs station, or air cargo.
If the goods come with a customs seal and are transported from another customs station to a customs station, or from an Inland Container Depot to a customs port.
How to Set E-Way User ID and Password
The user ID will contain between 8 and 15 characters, including alphabets, numerals, and special characters.
The E-Way password has to be at least 8 characters long.
The username and password must be kept secure and must not be shared with anyone.
Advantages of e-Way bill
A Single e-Way Bill can be used for moving goods across the country.
No need for a Transit Pass under the GST regime in any Territory.
Being an online operation, traders do not need to go to tax offices to collect and send new GST Way Bill forms.
The introduction of the eWay billing system increased verification process speed, which in effect increased transportation efficiency.
On the eWay bill portal, you can check the eWay bills generated by other GST registered companies/individuals against your GSTIN.
Environmentally friendly: No need to keep multiple copies of the GST Way Bills, which makes it an environmentally friendly paper-saving system.
Automated GSTR-1 generation: It is prepared automatically using the details provided at the time of generation of the e-way bill. That saves time when GST returns are filed.
The movement of goods can be easily tracked online with e-Way Bill number.
The period of validity shall be considered from the moment the E-Way bill is generated. The commissioner may issue a prolongation of the validity period for the transfer of certain goods. The extension details are set out in the notification.

We're helping to reduce food waste in Wellington's homes.
On average, food waste makes up over a third of kerbside rubbish collected in the region. That's a lot of money – about $599 for each household every year.
We're supporting the Love Food Hate Waste campaign, which encourages people to change their food habits, and provides practical advice on how to minimise food waste and save money.
The Love Food Hate Waste website has a range of resources including some handy information to help you to work out portion size, and recipes for using up leftover odds and end - as well as information about the greater environmental impacts of food waste.
You can also follow the campaign on Facebook and Twitter for more information and ideas.
We throw away over 122,547 tonnes of food a year – enough to feed around 262,917 people, or half the population of the Wellington region for 12 months.
Bread, fruit and vegies, and meal leftovers are the most commonly discarded foods. The equivalent of 20 million loaves of bread is thrown away uneaten every year.
The average household sends around 79 kilograms of edible food to landfills every year.
In Wellington, avoidable food waste costs the average household nearly $599 a year, totalling nearly $106 million for the region as a whole.
We've been following Auckland's food waste trials with interest. Through our new regional waste plan we have committed to reducing waste by a third over the next ten years. The waste plan includes looking at options for reducing food waste to landfill.
The Draft Long Term Plan 2018-2028 now also contains a commitment to investigate options for diverting food waste from landfill, and this is likely to include food waste collection as part of a wider trial.
Once the plan is adopted in late June there will be more to come. In the meantime you can find out ways to reduce your food waste at home at Love Food Hate Waste.
