credo che farei una follia per la peekaboo!
Do I have to choose?! I'd probably opt for the Muse.
complimenti per il blog, davvero originale!
i want them all! unfortunately i must stick to the silly look-alikes for now because i'm dirt poor!
I was crazy for a Birkin... well.. first a Chanel, then I turned to Muse by YSL, but I think my favourite of these are the Peekaboo!
such a nice post! check out our fashion week!
thankyou for your comment, i love all your illustrations so much i even included them in my ib art workbook.
i have to say id love to own the hermes birkin. im really into that style of bag and the neutrals they are using for fall.
adoro i vostri disegni! brave!!!!!
Io due anni fa ho investito su una Muse di YSL extralarge.
Uno dei pezzi più cari del mio armadio, ma -purtroppo- anche uno dei meno sfruttati.
Con la Muse non mi trovo bene con le misure: troppo pesante per indossarla a spalla, ma troppo grande per portarla a mano -arriva quasi a terra!
Se adesso dovessi investire di nuovo su una borsa opterei per la Philo di Céline!

Q: Method for finding the difference between two dates using API So for a program im currently writing, there are different membership levels in the form of cards for customers and a coupon for each level depending on how long they've held the card for and how much they've spent in a year
Ive done the total spent portion but im having a big of trouble with the date difference.
Below are the two related classes.
import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.time.Month;
import java.time.Period;
import java.util.*;

class Date {

    LocalDate createdDate = LocalDate.of(2000, Month.MAY, 19);
    LocalDate today = LocalDate.now();

    public void Date() {

        Period difference = Period.between(createdDate, today);
        int years = difference.getYears();

        System.out.println("The created date is: " + createdDate);
        System.out.println("Difference between created date and current date is: " + difference.getYears() + " years");

    }
    }

import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.time.Month;
import java.time.Period;
import java.util.*;

class silverCard {

    double coupon = 0;

    public void calCoup() {

        Date date = new Date();

        cardDetails card = new cardDetails(0001, "Adam Gong", 7000);

        if (card.getBalance() < 3500) {
            coupon = 0.04;
        } else if (card.getBalance() > 3500 && date.getYears() < 3){
            coupon = 0.05;
        }

        double totalCoupon = card.getBalance() - (card.getBalance() * coupon);

        System.out.println("Your coupon for silver card is: " + totalCoupon);
    }
}

The error comes from the line
} else if (card.getBalance() > 3500 && date.getYears() < 3){

in which the complier doesnt see the method getYears. Im aware that getYears in the date class isnt a method but im unsure of how i would call it from the silverCard class. Ive created a Date object and used it to call getYears. Ive also tried calling period.between and period difference to no luck
Thankyou :)

A: Rename your Date class because there is a Date class in java libraries already.
and add the method to this class:
public long getYears() {
    return Period.between(createdDate, today).getYears();
}

A: You can try out below solution . You can use SimpleDateFormat instead of LocalDate . You can get the difference in dates for diff variable.
public void getDiffBitweenTwoDates()
  throws ParseException {

    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy", Locale.ENGLISH);
    Date firstDate = sdf.parse("08/15/2019");
    Date secondDate = sdf.parse("08/22/2019");

    long diffInMillies = Math.abs(secondDate.getTime() - firstDate.getTime());
    long diff = TimeUnit.DAYS.convert(diffInMillies, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);

}

If you still wants to go with LocalDateTime you can try out below way..
    LocalDateTime now = LocalDateTime.now();
    LocalDateTime mins= now.minusMinutes(10);

    Duration duration = Duration.between(now, mins);
    long diff = Math.abs(duration.toMinutes());

Mother's Day should be filled with love, thankful hearts, and breakfast in bed! Show your mom you love her by making these delicious, American-inspired crepes. Recipe designed and created by our farm's in-house culinary artist, Chef Bella Vue.
Place mixing bowl in the freezer (to use later for the whipped cream).
For the apple pie filling, combine all ingredients (except butter) in a bowl and mix well. Melt the butter in a pan on medium high heat. Once melted, saute & mix apple pie mixture until the apples are caramelized and there is liquid left in the pan (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat.
For the crepe batter, mix egg and sugar in a bowl with a whisk. Add cinnamon, flour, cooled butter, and milk. Mix well. The crepe batter should be thin enough to coat the bottom of a pan in a thin layer. If needed, add more milk to reach this consistency. Pour the batter in a SMALL pan and swirl until a thin layer coats the bottom. Cook for about a minute - then flip and cook for another minute. Remove the crepe. Repeat for the desired amounts of crepes you are cooking. Set aside.
Next, remove the bowl from your freezer. Combine all the ingredients for the whipped cream topping except cinnamon. Mix on a high setting to desired thickness - add a teaspoon (or more if desired) of cinnamon to the whipped cream and mix it evenly.
Put the apple pie filling into a crepe and fold together on a plate. Drizzle with honey, sprinkle with powdered sugar, and top with cream.
Bon appetit! Happy Mother's Day!

This is a call to all of the esteemed learners of the basic course of 'Healing with God'. Just think of the time before you came into this learning. Most of us had a feeling that we are lost in a world full of pain and sufferings, as though we will never be able to come out of this experience, and that we are the puppets at the hands of the karmas. We held on to the ideology that we must repay our karmas so that we can end our sufferings and enjoy a peaceful life. Most of us were caught in the illusion of the law of karma, right and wrong, true and false, past lives and future lives, etc. Many amongst us were the regular followers of the rituals to please the grahas, deities, gurus and god men, to remove the astrological ill effects, to avoid the negative forecasts of the future. Most of the people amongst us were devoid of the good health and some even away from their true love and were struggling to win back their dear ones.
And then there came a time when after learning and implementing this knowledge, most amongst us were able to gain good health, got the true love in their lives, the few amongst us who were struggling to get their dear ones won them back in their life. The most spectacular thing that happened in our life was that we burst the illusion of the law of karma, good and bad, right and wrong, true and false, past lives and future lives, etc. We got the knowledge that now we no more have to please anyone because we ourselves are the ultimate creator of everything, whether it's good or bad, high or low, black or white. We got the wisdom how to create the experience we desire. Worries of the ultimate goal to find the God and enlightenment fell apart. Unconditionally, we started to enjoy our life to the fullest.
Tell me, how relieved were you with the knowledge you gained at that time? Most amongst us at that time felt liberated, as if they were free from the bondages of struggles, sufferings and pain. All were on cloud nine, experiencing that they have got almost everything in their lives. If we compare our life now and then most of us will say that it has been a major turn of 180 degrees.
My purpose here in bringing up all this is call for an introspection and ask yourselves how it will feel if your loved ones and all of the people connected to you also have the same experience that you had when you were on cloud nine. How will you feel if they also get the same benefits you gained after learning this knowledge?
Remember, in the course you learned that you are everything because you are God. If you are God, which implies 'everything', then please disseminate this knowledge to liberate others because they are a part of yourself and somewhere is hidden a part of you that is struggling to burst the illusion of pain and sufferings. Have mercy upon them and pull them out of the illusion of pain, sufferings, struggles and create the experience of joy, happiness and bliss.
You might ask yourself how you can create the experience of Joy, happiness and bliss in the life of others. The answer is simple. Join the Basic Instructor's/ Teacher's course of 'Healing with God' and spread this knowledge to the masses who are eagerly waiting to learn this experience from you.

The photos show the effect of the Prednisone that he was taking for his ITP low platelet blood disease,
not that he ate and drank too much on the cruise!
We spent time at the cabin we co-own on Pine Mountain Lake, near Groveland, CA

Medical Report: On July 9, Paul went off the Prednisone that he had been taking for the ITP low platelet blood disease, and the next series of blood tests were good. But in mid-October his platelet count dropped, so the hematologist MD put him back on a 10 mg daily dosage of Prednisone as a preventive measure for our upcoming trip. Now he is reducing his daily doses in the hope of getting off it again.
In late October 2012, we flew to NYC where we spent a week and from where our 25-day cruise on Oceania's ship Regatta to Manaus, Brazil (a thousand miles up the Amazon River) and back to Miami was to supposed to depart. But because of Super Storm Sandy, we sailed from Boston instead. Amy was able to travel with us on the cruise.

A: I usually import the tracks into Pro Tools or Cubase (depending on song type, track count, and what plugins i will be using for mixing/mastering) then get to work! Ill usually put down a rough mix in about 4 hours and send it to the client to get feedback, which i use to make final revisions.

Bauchi gov warms against political violence, as he receives PDP decampees
Source: Govt. House, Bauchi
Governor Mohammed Abdullahi Abubakar receives Thousands Of PDP Defectors, Warns Against Political Violence
Governor Mohammed Abdullahi Abubakar has warned that security agencies have been mandated to deal with anybody plotting any act of violence during the conduct of this year's general elections, just as he asked women to stop using henna until after the elections.
According to a press statement signed by press secretary to the governor, Abubakar Al-Sadique and emailed to newsmen, the governor made this statement while addressing supporters at campaign rallies in Zaki and Gamawa local government areas.
"As responsible leaders, we have obligation to ensure that citizens' political choices are respected and that they are allowed to exercise their civic duties without any form of harassment. We therefore warn all those nursing any idea of political violence to steer clear of Bauchi state," the governor warned.
While commending the Independent National Electoral Commission for introducing the use of card reader in accrediting voters, Governor Abubakar urged women who constitute the highest voting block to suspend the use of henna until after the elections because the card reader will not accredit those who use it.
After receiving party stalwarts who defected from the People's Democratic Party and Social Democratic Party and the New Nigeria People's Party along with thousands of their supporters in Zaki, the governor also commissioned projects executed by his administration including a primary health center in Sakwa, just as he later commissioned another in Alagarno.
Governor Abubakar similarly received thousands of defectors from PDP in Gamawa local government areas, including the local government chairman, Alhaji Malanjo, vice chairman, youth leader, women leader and several aspirants for Bauchi State House of Assembly on the platform of PDP.
The State Chairman of the APC, Alhaji Uba Ahmed Nana commended them for joining the progressives in the onerous task of nation building.
The Governor Mohammed Abdullahi Abubakar 2019 reelection campaign team had earlier commissioned the PMB/GMA campaign office in Azare donated by the former chairman of the Tertiary Education Fund, TETFund, Dr Musa Babayo.
Abubakar Al-Sadique, Press Secretary to Gov. M. A. Abubakar, January 27, 2019


Knowing that the aka for this series is Holy flame of the martial world, I understand better why I found this series so strange ! Strange hair cut, strange costumes (as it was said in the forum specnet, the main actors seem to come from the series Star Trek ; the zip on the back of the top of Austin Wai's clothes is clearly seen...), strange sets, with columns wrapped in plastic paper, strange magical weapons, strange superpowers, strange kung fu (the laughing kung fu, the crying kung fu...), and even a kind of exorcist who resurrects a dead villain !!! But what an entertaining series !!
The series begins with a reunion of five clans (if I remember well) including Shaolin and maybe Emei or Wudang, if it exists a female section in Wudang (the abbess was in grey clothes such as in Emei clan, but it seems to me that I heard Wu Tang. As it was in Cantonese, I can't give enough informations).
While they are challenging each other in order to know who will rule (if I'm not mistaken), a couple using strange powerful mirrors comes and defeats them, but they all decide to trap them.
Ha Yue plays a shaolin disciple, who falls in love with a girl from Emei (in my review, I decide that it will be Emei...) and they don't agree with what their elders are doing to the couple, so, they help them to escape when they are hurt. Unfortunately, the couple is badly hurt and they give the two mirrors to Ha Yue and his lover and they commit suicide.
Then, the story jumps a few years later : Ha Yue and his wife are parents of a young boy and a baby girl. While Ha Yue is at the inn in order to buy wine, the merchant is hit by people of the sects who are still looking for the couple and though he takes risks, he helps the merchant and defeats the men. He thinks that nobody has seen him, but together with the men, there were several girls from Emei and later, all the five clans come to his house and the couple has to fight (actually, the mother doesn't fight, since she has to carry the baby) and they escape with the help of the elder of Shaolin. However, they are chased by the other ones and the abbess kills her former disciple and kidnaps the baby. Ha Yue is so sad by his wife's death that he commits suicide and the boy is saved by an old man using a kind of mass looking like a tiger and uses his crying kung fu to defeat his enemies.
Meanwhile, a family (father, mother and a little girl) are chased by other members of the sects and they are killed. The little girl is saved by a woman who uses her laughing kung fu in order to defeat her enemies. She is friend with the old man and the two of them teach their kung fu to the young boy and the young girl.
14 years later, the boy is now a man, played by Austin Wai, and the girl is a woman played by Angie Chiu, and they leave their masters in order to get revenge for Austin's parents death.
While they are spying on another reunion of the five clans, they meet a young disciple of Emei, played by Jamie Chik, and a young disciple of another sect played by Tung Wei. His chief is hidden in a kind of plastic box, and his two lieutenants use a zithar and a jembe as weapons and they defeat the other clans.
Of course, I forgot to tell that all the sects are looking for the mirrors of the beginning of the series, so, in order to know where they are, Tung Wei befriends Austin Wai and Angie Chiu, and the abbess sends Jamie Chik to spy on them and get the mirrors.
Jamie and Tung Wei fall for each other, and after a lot of twists and very good fights, it is discovered that Tung Wei was in this sect in order to get revenge on the chief (if I understood well) and that Jamie Chik is actually Austin Waiâ??s sister.
The chief has super super powers and the four friends are almost defeated, but they are helped by a woman with also super powers and they can escape.
For those who arenâ??t against a mix of martial arts and super heroes, it's worth watching.

Learning the fun way
Museum expansion aims to encourage excitement about learning and discovery
Since opening in 1992, The Children's Museum of Houston has experienced steady growth in attendance due to its leadership in developing innovative, interactive, early childhood programmes designed to create enthusiasm for a lifetime of learning and discovery.
The museum returned to Jackson & Ryan Architects in 2006 to design an expansion that would double exhibit space and provide needed public support space, education staff offices and more parking. The expansion includes 40,000 sq ft of exhibit space on three levels, a separate three story 17,000 sq ft educational and administration annex and parking deck that adds 140 spaces.
The original Children's Museum design derives from a playful interpretation of architecture typical of the adult world. The rhythm of pilasters along Binz Street, the monumental entry columns, and the 'Caryakids' supporting the LaBranch Street porch refer to classical architecture, but through the use of bold, iconic colour the symbolism suggests a child's world of fun and the excitement of discovery.
In the 2009 addition, the colour, pattern and scale of the Venturi and Jackson & Ryan Architects Binz façade is extended to the new wing. Even though this addition doubles the size of the original building, by locating one-third of the programme expansion below grade, the original scale and iconography are preserved and a larger, more flexible and sustainable courtyard for outdoor exhibits is achieved.
The fence enclosing the courtyard is fabricated from ultraviolet, colourfast composite fiberglass used typically in the petrochemical and off-shore marine industries. The courtyard fence is a rhythm of symbolic family trees, which like the Cayrakids, provides an opportunity for donor recognition.

Galaxy clusters are ideal probes to study the large-scale structure of our Universe and to test cosmological models. X-rays are particularly well suited to find and to study galaxy clusters. Based on the ROSAT All-Sky X-ray Survey we have obtained a comprehensive census of the galaxy cluster population in the nearby Universe. We have studied the physical structure and the statistical distribution of the structure parameters in deep X-ray observations by means of representative sub-samples drawn from this cluster population. We use a statistically complete cluster sample to assess the cosmic large-scale structure, to study superclusters, and to provide constraints on some important cosmological parameters in particular the cosmic mean matter density and the amplitude of the large-scale density fluctuations.

Hong Kong's best hidden whisky bars
Whisky Travel
23 August 2017 by Martin Eber
Whether you're after a rare vintage Scotch, the finest of world malts or an eye-popping indie bottling, Hong Kong has many must-visit whisky bars. Martin Eber reports.
Best of both: Hong Kong's whisky bars have rare Scotches and the best Asian malts
When you think of destinations exhibiting 'whisky weather', Hong Kong is unlikely to spring to mind. With its long, hot and intensely humid summer, you'd be forgiven for thinking that whisky might not rate highly as a local drink of choice. The past few years, however, have seen something of a whisky boom in Hong Kong, with masterclasses, clubs, festivals, auctions and visiting whisky personalities all becoming regular features.
With this, of course, come proper whisky bars, and in just a few short years Hong Kong has seen their numbers expand well into double figures, many of which are 'hidden' – not in an attempted nod to Prohibition-era speakeasies, but due to sheer practicality. With commercial properties renting for sums as high as the skyscrapers in which they reside, bars often look up (or down) to find alternate spaces – slightly more obscured perhaps, but no less alluring.
Here are six such bars, dotted all around Hong Kong – each offering whisky fans and newcomers something slightly different.
Club Qing
10th floor, Cosmos building, 8-11 Lan Kwai Fong; www.clubqing.com
Club Qing: Here you can find rare whiskies and independent house bottlings
Located on the 10th floor of a tiny, nondescript commercial building in the heart of Lan Kwai Fong (LKF) in Central, Club Qing is a world away from the busy, bustling booze dens below. The focus here is twofold – Japanese whisky and vintage Scotch.
With a complete set of Ichiro's Malt Cards (54 bottles) proudly on display (and several available by the dram), accompanied by a constantly-rotating selection of rare vintage drams (think Macallan, Bowmore, Laphroaig and Lagavulin bottlings from the 1970s and 1980s), it's likely you'll find a dram here you won't find anywhere else in Asia (except perhaps at Singapore's Auld Alliance, or Japan's Mash Tun – the people behind all three are good friends).
With a warm, welcoming atmosphere, knowledgeable staff and one of Hong Kong's most impressive selections (including the bar's own series of bottlings, featuring a 40-year-old ex-fino Speysider), it's the sort of establishment you can return to again and again, each time discovering something new.
12, On Wo Lane, Central; www.facebook.com/barginger.hk
Bar Ginger: More than 400 single malts, and a perfect stop for Ardbeg fans
In a relatively short space of time, Ginger (like Club Qing) has managed to firmly establish itself as a favourite among Hong Kong's whisky crowd. Located in Sheung Wan on Hong Kong Island, five minutes from Central by taxi, the bar is relatively obscured by its rendered concrete front, hidden sliding door and laneway location (hint: look for the lamp emblazoned with 'Ginger' at the front).
Ginger's owners frequently travel to distilleries and international whisky shows, bringing back knowledge (and whisky) to share with their customers, and it shows in their collection of more than 400 single malts (with new bottles arriving almost daily).
The bar carries a well-thought-out mix of Scotch, Japanese and New World whiskies, both original and independent bottlings, and often features new whiskies well before their release dates in Hong Kong. As Hong Kong's first Ardbeg Embassy, it's also a good option for Islay fans.
Angel's Share
2nd Floor, Amber Lodge, 23 Hollywood Road, Central; www.angelsshare.hk
Angel's Share: A cask offering a rotating selection of drams greets new arrivals
If the name wasn't already a giveaway, the full-size cask and glass valinch which greet customers as they enter surely indicate the bar's intentions. Despite being located in the heart of Central, just seconds from the famous 'escalator' that snakes its way through the city, you could easily walk right past Angel's Share and not realise. Located on the second floor of an otherwise unremarkable building, a small sign at street level is your only hint.
Despite being one of Hong Kong's first dedicated whisky bars, Angel's Share still more than holds its own, with a sizeable list of Scotch and Japanese, and a smaller list of Irish, Taiwanese, American, Canadian, French and Indian whiskies. That cask isn't just for show either, with a rotating selection of drams available to order directly from it (at the time of writing, it contained Kavalan Solist Sherry cask, but in the past has also held Macallan and The Glenlivet).
SAFE Bubbles & Malt
255 Queen's Road Central, Central; www.facebook.com/safebubblesandmalt
Bubbles & Malt: SAFE offers an unconvential, almost industrial whisky bar feel
The surroundings might not immediately scream 'whisky bar' (polished metal walls, exposed concrete and coloured LED lighting), but the collection of whiskies, which numbers well over 700, certainly does. In addition to being a Scotch Malt Whisky Society (SMWS) partner bar, SAFE carries a range of independent bottlings (including Samaroli, Sansibar and Spirits Shop Selection) and original bottlings from Suntory, Edrington, and all the major Scotch distilleries you'd expect.
The real draw though is the whisky library to your left as you walk in. With some of the rarest whiskies in Hong Kong (including row upon row of single cask Yamazaki, Karuizawa, countless vintage Macallans and even an Ichiro's Joker Monochrome), it's no wonder the bar is hidden behind a gigantic metal safe door. Also located in Sheung Wan, SAFE is only a short walk from Ginger.
Bar Buonasera
7th Floor, Mody House, 30 Mody Road, Tsim Sha Tsui; www.facebook.com/buonaserahk
Bar Buonasera: The venue features rare Japanese releases and excellent cocktails
For the last two bars on this list, we head over to the Kowloon side of Hong Kong, specifically Tsim Sha Tsui (TST) – a short train or ferry ride from Central. Bar Butler is probably the most well-known whisky bar in this part of town (and with good reason), but located two floors above, on the seventh floor of the same small commercial building, is Bar Buonasera, an offshoot of the Osaka bar by the same name.
As you might expect with a Japanese-style bar, the atmosphere is quiet, welcoming and with excellent hospitality (and cocktails). The whisky selection might not be as large as some of the others on this list, but it is well-curated, and often includes whiskies that aren't available by the dram anywhere else in Hong Kong (especially rare Japanese releases).
Tiffany's New York Bar
70 Mody Road, Tsim Sha Tsui East; www.hongkong.intercontinental.com
Tiffany's Bar: It features its own in-bar maturation programme and regular masterclasses
Located in the depths of the Intercontinental Grand Stanford Hotel (a short walk from Bar Buonasera), Tiffany's is a bar with old-school charm but a modern appreciation for whisky.
Not content with having a sizeable selection of whisky, hosting regular masterclasses and holding Hong Kong's biggest annual whisky festival, Tiffany's also pushes the whisky envelope with experiments including whisky ice cream, whisky mooncakes (a whisky version of the popular Chinese delicacy), and its own in-bar maturation programme, where popular whiskies are given additional finishes in small casks right on the back bar.

Q: C# - Multiprocessing (coming from python) I have a python script that I would like to rewrite in C# that makes use of multiprocessing. I have been reading about C# multithreading and multiprocessing and I am thoroughly confused. Many of the articles suggest using TPL or something like Parrallel.Foreach but many of the pages start by mentioning multiple cores then quickly switch back to talking about threads. In Python I had to specifically use the multiprocessing module to achieve this (see: Multiprocessing vs Threading Python )
I wrote a small sample console app to test:
class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            List<int> testList = new List<int>();
            testList.AddRange(Enumerable.Range(1, 20));

            Parallel.ForEach(testList, x => Console.WriteLine(Test(x)));

            Console.ReadLine();
        }

        private static string Test(int i)
        {
            Thread.Sleep(1000 * (21 - i));
            return "P: " + Process.GetCurrentProcess().Id.ToString() + ", T: " + Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId.ToString();
        }
    }

However, it shows one process ID and multiple thread IDs. Now I am not sure if my method is correct and if I am understanding everything correctly.
To give a bit of background my application requires a lot of computation on small amounts of datasets (+-300 data points), but due to a huge combination of parameters, I need these to run as fast as possible to save time.
Basically what I want to know is if Parallel.Foreach threads will automatically run on different cores or is there something else I need to do.

A: The Microsoft .NET runtime maps .NET threads to Windows threads 1:1 (so each .NET thread is a Windows OS thread). Different Windows threads are normally scheduled by the Windows scheduler to different CPU cores. So you don't have to do anything.
As always remember that threads are "expensive" objects. Unless you can have "much" work for each thread, it is useless to use them (don't use threads for unit of work < 1 sec, unless you have very specific necessities)

My wife and I are Huntsville residents and absolutely love our home in Hidden Valley. We live above our business in town now and just didn't have the heart to sell this beautiful home. So we decided to share it with you!
We always loved the neighborhood of Hidden Valley. When we found this cedar log panabode home we knew it had to be ours. It rests on a quiet street with a beautiful wooded ravine behind the home. We love how close it is still to town and all of the other surrounding amenities and yet when your in for the night you feel like you are tucked away in the middle of the woods.
Great spot, chalet and decor!
Will return for sure ..owners were easy to be in touch with and replied promptly.
Great place, plan to come back.
A charming and cozy cottage, very close to Huntsville!
My family and I had a wonderful time at the Hidden Valley Chalet. The cottage is perfectly situated, a short 8 to 10 min drive to Huntsville and 30 min away from the west gate of the Algonquin park. The chalet contains all the amenities required- the kitchen is quite modern and the living room very comfortable and cozy. The bedrooms are quite sizable and the beds extremely comfortable. The 2 mainfloor bedrooms also offer a beautiful view on the forest. The outdoor temperatures were quite cold for that time of the year, but we always enjoyed coming back to the comfort of the chalet, where we were able to heat to a comfortable temperature as well as use the very nice gaz fireplace for extra warmth. The owners were very accommodating and responded to all our questions in a timely manner. Overall, we loved our stay at the Hidden Valley Chalet and would love to come back another time!
Absolutely beautiful! Had an amazing time! Beautiful cabin.
Enjoyed our stay at the Chalet. Will be back again!

El Museo de arte Inuit (en inglés Museum of Inuit Art - MIA) se encontraba dentro de la histórica Queen's Quay Terminal, en el centro de Harbourfront, Toronto. Abierto oficialmente en junio de 2007, el museo existía gracias a los esfuerzos de David Harris (un antiguo profesor y fundador de la Galería Harris Inuit, una galería comercial para respetar el arte inuit) y un grupo de socios. El Museo de arte Inuit ocupaba más de 6000 pies cuadrados de espacio de exposición y era el hogar de cientos de extraordinarias piezas de arte inuit que iban desde esculturas talladas en piedra, asta, marfil y hueso a la cerámica, hasta grabados y tapices.

El museo ofrecía una gran variedad de artículos históricos y grandes galerías de calidad, obras de arte originales creadas por artistas contemporáneos. Como una institución sin fines de lucro, todos los ingresos del Museo de Arte Inuit y la respectiva galería del museo eran dedicados a apoyar todo tipo de programas culturales, educativos y de adquisiciones. Las esculturas, tapices e impresiones, obras de arte originales a la venta en la galería y otros artículos se adquirían a partir de las diversas cooperativas inuit que representan a artistas inuit y trabajan en el Norte. Como tal, todos los ingresos de la venta en la galería apoyaban directamente el trabajo de artistas contemporáneos Inuit y sus comunidades. La tienda también contenía joyas, muñecas de embalaje y varios libros sobre arte inuit.

El espacio del museo fue diseñado por la empresa gh3 inc. y ganó dos premios: Ontario Association of Architects Design Excellence Award y el Canada Interiors' Best of Canada Design Competition Award. El interior estaba designado para remover a los visitantes del alboroto de la galería comercial céntrica adyacente y transportarlos a un ambiente más rarificado para contemplar arte, una envoltura de un blanco neutral evocativa de las icónicas formas paisajísticas del hielo ártico.

El museo estaba afiliado a la Asociación de Museos Canadienses, al Patrimonio Canadiense de la Información y al Museo virtual de Canadá.

Cerró sus puertas el 29 de mayo de 2016, siguiendo un declive en visitantes e ingresos tras dos veranos de actividad constructora a lo largo del Queens Quay West, que causó el cierre temporario del acceso de los tranvías al área del museo.

A bucket full of sh** for a good cause!
The Detroit Zoo is holding their 6th annual GreenFest event on Saturday, April 14th which includes a five-gallon bucket full of "Zoo Poo" for the first 1,000 guests.
The anaerobic digester annually converts 500 tons of animal manure and other organic waste into methane-rich gas to help power the zoo's animal hospital, leaving a nutrient-rich fertilizer as a byproduct.
The event is free to attend with regular zoo admission.

You've seen people use the phrase "the screenshots don't do this game justice," right? It's one of those awesome games-writer clichés that we like to use when we don't have anything interesting to say. (Or, if you're a writer for something like Game Informer, it's just what you use, period. BOOM! Got you, Game Informer! ...They're not still around, right?)

After the last couple of games I had to play for "Minus the Pudding" (see the end of this article), I'm not sure I have it in me to write any more novel-length intro paragraphs. What you see is what you get. Come read about some games, or whatever. I don't care anymore.

Before I get started with making fun of other people's Xbox Live Indie Games, I have a big announcement to make:
Columns by Paul Franzen on April 14, 2011
The Internets have been abuzz lately with posts about Xbox Live Indie Games, and for once I'm not making a self-deprecating yet hilarious joke: people other than me have actually have been talking about the service. I believe this means that my column has been a huge success, and I can now retire on my big fat pile of money.

Some of you may be familiar with the Game Developers Conference—that's where developers from all around the world gather to build new friendships, share ideas with one another, swap war stories, and, in general, work together hand-in-hand to realize the full potential of videogames as an art medium. Hah-hah! I'm kidding of course; it's actually just another way for people to promote and sell videogames. It's like E3, only with more pretension; or, it's like PAX, only with a lot more pretension. It's not without its highlights, though, and one of the highlights of this year's conference was a panel on none other than Xbox Live Indie Games. (At least, I assume it was one of the highlights. GameCola, as typical, didn't get an invite, probably because we do things like call it pretentious.)

Last month in Pudding, I ran my own personal list of the Top 5 Xbox Live Indie Games from 2010. This month, courtesy of Joystiq, we have: everyone else's list. It's based on sales figures—specifically, number of copies sold during the first week of a game's launch—and the results, as expected, are completely demotivating. Personally, I'm so demotivated I won't be able to finish this lame joke I think I already used bef
I am videogames. I mean, not literally---at least, not as far as you know---but what I mean to say is...is...is...is...gosh darnit---writing is so hard!

Home - Saudi Arabia - Riyadh - Overview
Riyadh Skyline © Muhaidib
Rising from the barren desert, its towering skyscrapers glittering in the fierce sun, the Saudi Arabian capital of Riyadh is one of the most splendid and affluent cities in the modern world. Situated on a plateau, Riyadh sprawls across about 600 square miles (1,600 square kilometres) of desert in the heart of the Arabian Peninsula, and is attracting more and more visitors annually.
Once a small oasis known for its date orchards (hence the origin of its name which in Arabic means 'place of gardens'), Riyadh's phenomenal growth spurt began in 1902 when the desert lord Ibn Saud took over the city, determined to turn it into the centre of his Arabic kingdom. Thirty years later it became the capital of the new country of Saudi Arabia. Fuelled by the revenue of the country's abundant oil fields, it has blossomed into an awe-inspiring modern metropolis with a population well in excess of four million.
Though modern, Riyadh remains in the heart of the Arab world, and visitors will be constantly reminded of the fact. In between the towering, futuristic buildings and glitzy shopping malls are ancient mosques and other remnants of a bygone era. Shady trees and date palms line the avenues, and camels can sometimes be seen swaying between the luxury vehicles. The city is also run on a strictly Islamic legal, moral and cultural code, and visitors should respect the rules while exploring the sights, both ancient and modern, in this fascinating city. Unfortunately, women still have restricted access to certain attractions and sites.
The original wadis (dry river beds), where wells were sunk to water the historic infant oasis settlement, have now been supplemented by numerous vast dams as well as desalinated seawater to adequately quench the thirst of this prosperous capital. Travellers often marvel at this unique urban landscape, which is certainly not short on historic interest nor modern wonder.

Less to the Milky Way than previously thought
(Nanowerk News) The Milky Way is less massive than astronomers previously thought, according to new research. For the first time, scientists have been able to precisely measure the mass of the galaxy that contains our Solar system. A team led by researchers at the University of Edinburgh have found that the Milky Way is approximately half the mass of a neighbouring galaxy – known as Andromeda – which has a similar structure to our own. They publish their results in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society ("Balancing mass and momentum in the Local Group").

The Milky Way and Andromeda are the two largest members of a cluster of galaxies which astronomers call the Local Group. Both galaxies have a spiral shape and appear to be of similar dimensions, but until now scientists had been unable to prove which is most massive as previous studies were only able to measure the mass enclosed within both galaxies' inner regions.
The Edinburgh astronomers used recently published data on the known distances between galaxies – as well as their velocities – to calculate the total masses of Andromeda and the Milky Way. Revealing this for both galaxies, they also found that so-called 'dark' matter makes up 90% of the matter in both systems.
Dark matter is a little understood invisible substance which makes up most of the outer regions of galaxies and around 27% of the content of the Universe. The researchers estimate that Andromeda contains twice as much dark matter as the Milky Way, causing it to be about twice as massive in total. Their work should help astronomers learn more about how the outer regions of galaxies are structured.
Dr Jorge Peñarrubia, of the University of Edinburgh's School of Physics and Astronomy, who led the study, said: "We always suspected that Andromeda is more massive than the Milky Way, but weighing both galaxies simultaneously proved to be extremely challenging. Our study combined recent measurements of the relative motion between our galaxy and Andromeda with the largest catalogue of nearby galaxies ever compiled to make this possible."

New York has been getting cold day by day.
It is not uncommon that the morning temperature is 1 degree Celsius.

Let us make this opportunity to talk with everyone.
A "Master of beauty" taught me.
People know " cut, carat, color, and clarity" of jewels.
I was more interested in the setting technique than that cutting technique.

I could not explain our situation to the words from neighborhood love and kindness.
I loved Miki HOUSE's shoes. It's cute, strong, easy to put wear.
I wonder how many pairs I kept buying this type of shoes.
Although it was not inexpensive at all, she did not walk, so her shoes won't hurt.
We thanked economically that she grew very slowly.
After it passed more than 12 years, my daughter finally stepped on the ground.
She walks, extends her hand and looks for a reliable person.

I always thought that I would like to express my thanks directly someday.
We thank the pride of the Japanese brand that was our savior.

When I saw my friend's muttering, I also looked back on ourselves.
Two years ago, I heard the news in New York that my art master died suddenly.

I wonder what I can do for my master.
"It is mother's role to teach a beautiful heart."
I repeat the master's words in my mind.
For me now, I can only write.
I took a pen to tell my master.
The third anniversary will come next month.
Hope it reach to the heaven.
I had many meetings with the publisher during the summer.
I felt like to write but I could not write it.
I exposed everything in my mind.
Then there was a feeling of incongruity that it would not be my own sentences.
After all, I wrote everything in my own words.
Because it was only thing that I could myself.
A glittering world that my daughter may have envisioned.
Love surrounding her, and love she releases.

Hello there my lovelies! Well, it's been a while since I updated the blog. I've been meaning to do so for a good while as so many great things have been happening but this year has been a real 'blink and you miss it' kind of year no? Have you been able to contain the whirlwind or have you been swept along with the living and the doing? No sooner has one thing happened than we are on to the next without taking the time to stop and smell the (vintage) roses!
1, We are thrilled to have got ourselves a beautiful new chickaDee Girl.
2, Etsy, one of our shop sites, is celebrating a Birthday.
The great thing about chickaDee girls is that they come in many guises and traverse the ages but they all have a few things in common. They are bold, they are playful, they are independent, they are creative, they are different, they care and they LOVE to stand out from the crowd. I think you'll all agree, that Issy was the perfect fit for our summer campaign and I cannot wait for you to see her in our winter tones but lets not get ahead of ourselves!
The second thing I wanted to talk to you about is Etsys 13th Birthday. Now, they don't need little old me advertising for them but what I do need to share is that we were all invited to do something to help them celebrate and by something, I mean a cheeky little sale! In keeping with this whirlwind year, this is a one week only affair.
Blink and you certainly will miss it and that would be such a shame because EVERYTHING has been reduced by 15% when you spend €25 or more. As an independent fashion brand, I don't hold many sales throughout the year as my margins just can't absorb it. BUT, I do want to show you all how much I appreciate you being here, cheering us on, buying into this little chick of a brand.
I am delighted to be able to do this and for you to get a few summer bargains along the way! It's a simple sale with no code needed, just pick your limited edition piece(s), go to the checkout and as if by magic, the reduction will be automatically be deducted from the total. I know! Sorcery!
There is also a tab at the top of the page but you can never have too many options imo.
If you have any questions or would like to know more about commissioning an order or even stocking the brand, leave me a comment or pop me a message and I'll get back to you just see if I don't.
Previous postFrom me to you, Happy International Women's Day!


I feel like better late than never is perfect for this post about the things and people I'm thankful for. Sure, Thanksgiving was a week ago, but in my new mom/first-time mom world, it's acceptable to do things late.
Unless there's a deadline, but there's no deadline on this.
This Thanksgiving Holiday I had a lot to be thankful for as life changes and evolves. It's definitely been a year for the books. So many changes and the year flew by really fast if I do say so. I really enjoyed 2018, though. To be honest, I enjoy all that it brought me and all that it taught me.
You know it's wild to look back on this year, but I wouldn't change anything because my heart is swelling with love. I'm a mom now and it's weird to even think that but I am. I have this little bundle of joy that screams and poops all the time but I love him. There are some wonderful people in my life, too. I'm just more obsessed with my kid and talking about him 24/7 but I love all my other people.
I'm completely obsessed with my child. It's weird to think of myself as a mom now but I'm one, and I love this kid. Cannon marched his way in early, and he's a feisty little thing. It's only been three weeks but I'm obsessed. I don't know how I'm supposed to not hang with this kid every day when I go back to work. He keeps me on my toes and awake. Cutest kid ever. End of story.
Most people see the sleeping Cannon. But, I get all hours of him from waking up to tummy time to sleep. I get it all. I see all of Cannon and who he is right now, and I get to help him develop into a good human. He has so much personality, and he's feisty. I absolutely love him and everything about him. I'm beyond grateful that I delivered a healthy baby boy despite the complications on his day of delivery.
Cannon's dad and my boyfriend. I've always been beyond grateful to have Chase in my life. For the past few years, we've been doing this relationship thing, and he's helped me grow as a person. I'm so happy I slid into his direct messages because who knows where I would be right now?!
We've been through long-distance, injuries, arguments, and more. Somehow, we've been able to get through it all. I don't think there's a better person in this world than Chase. It's actually really cute how obsessed he is with Cannon — he'll dance with him in the store and already has a nickname for him. He's the best, and that's a fact.
My original support system — parents.
To be honest, my parents have done SO SO much for Cannon, Chase, and I. When I need a break or a shower; my mom will come over and watch Cannon. If I need some help with something, my dad or mom will show up. I can call my dad about anything concerning my car or bills and he'll have some idea or answer. They're always there, and that's a blessing. I know a lot of people don't have a support system that is right down the street and I'm so grateful for it.
I don't think anyone can top my parents. From the baby shower to picking me up at 5 AM to take me to the hospital when I was in labor. They do it all. Plus, they still feed me a lot and put up with my dog so that's a lot to be thankful for. They are next-level. Best parents and grandparents.
Chase and I are very blessed to be surrounded by family that want to help and be involved. Chase's mom would see me every other weekend while I was pregnant just to get me out of the house. My sisters came over the weekend after I gave birth to give me a break and my brother has helped me out, too. Obviously, everyone is over the moon about the baby but it's nice that they want to help. I appreciate it a lot because you never realize you need help until it's offered.
So very happy to have all these wonderful people in my life. I think a lot of people forget how helpful family can be but utilize their time if they are offering it. Not going to lie, I'm one of those people that don't want to ask for help or accept the offer. But, I'm learning to take it because there are moments when I need a twenty-minute break. If the family is offering their time, why not take it?
Last but not least, I can't let the friends that check in go unnoticed. A lot of my friends don't have kids, so I know their path is different than mine, but they didn't make me feel that way. I had Sam sending weekly texts to check-in even when I couldn't get back to her. Julia sent me a postpartum gift which is highly appreciated it.
A handful of my friend group has checked in, and it makes me feel loved. Grateful for their caring hearts.
Thankful for all that read the blog.
Last but not least, I'm thankful to those that take the time to read or subscribe to my blog. It means the world to me that you care about the things I'm writing about. I'm grateful for the support and being able to interact with you all. I know I slack off every now and then but you loyal people stick around!
Here's to a great holiday season and I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!


Everyone is all abuzz with vivid excitement and anticipatory joy over Disney's/Marvel's/Sony studio's Spider-Man: Homecoming, in the wake of it's initial trailer earlier this week. One soul, however, remains unswayed by this red and blue menace, and no I'm not talking about J. Jonah Jameson, I'm talking about me.
Spider-Man is a cultural blight on society, and has a negative influence that can be seen around the world – and I think it's high time we stopped paying money to see Hollywood's web slinging sin fest. As a strong, proud, American Christian mother of two boys, I'd like to explain my very justified reasons for this stance with the much loved "Hero".
1. He hit a woman!
Suit. Just because you decide to start wearing black – one of the three colours of the devil might I remind you, along with red and rainbow – does not justify striking a woman out of turn! This is 2016 people! Actor Tobey McGinnes, who played Peter Spiderman in the film series has yet to reply to my emails asking for his justification of the infamous nightclub scene, however I think it is clear that its all a by-product of the Hollywood Sin machine. I will not take my two boys, Luke and David, to see a movie supporting such violence.
"That's a cute outfit! Did your husband make it for you?" – Peter "Spider-Man" Spiderman.
and sticks to the bars like a spider and shouts down "That's a cute outfit, did your husband make it for you?" OUTRAGE! How dare he espouse that just because Mr Bones is a homosexual that his husband makes costumes for him! That's kind of assumption is downright disrespectful! I know a homosexual couple, and while I often pray for their souls, they're lovely boys. One is a real estate agent and one is a chef, once Jesus fixes them I'll set the chef up with my sister Lucy. She could use a man. Spider-Man however? She could do a lot better than that homophobic bully.
Actor Toby McDonald and his sculpted, firm body, which probably smells like sun cream and sandalwood on a crisp summer afternoon…. God it makes me sick!
3. He is always taking his jumper off and showing his body!
This one is particularly offensive, as him hitting Marry-Ellis and saying homophobic things doesn't effect me – but this does! In most of his 12 movies, such as The Amazing Spider-man 2: Ouch Mister Electric Man, Don't Zap Me There, or Spider-Man 2: The Eight Legged Virgins, Peter Spiderman always takes off his shirt, and in doing so, sexually assaults me! As I have said, I am a Christian mother of two boys, Lucas and Aaron, and I cannot believe that Hollywood would be so brazen in their sin to expose my married eyes to the male form so unclad! While my husband may have passed away after taking his own life once he was dishonourably discharged from the military, I am still wed to him in the eyes of the lord. Spider-Man's taut, firm abdominals in my face is a clear violation of my marriage vowels to never again look at another man shirtless! I will not be sexually assaulted by this fictitious movie character man! I will not!
4. Also he let a nice lady die.
Gwyneth Stacetrow was killed when Spider-Man threw his web at her neck and then dropped her down a building. It was sad, and I don't like sad movies unless they're about Jesus.
So in conclusion, I will not be seeing Spider-Man's Christmas Homecoming next year, I will be, instead, outside my local Movie House with protest signs, singing hymns and praying for the poor souls who believe in such evils!
Don't let Hollywood's sin machine purge God's truth from your heart!
Thank you kindly for reading this, may the Lord be with you. Always.
