The results to last week's Fun Online Poll were as follows:

Should the G7 impose further sanctions on Russia because of Assad's nerve gas attack in Syria?

Yes - 7%
No - 93%

There was some scepticism in the comments as to whether Assad's regime was behind the attack and whether there was actually a nerve gas attack. I would add, even if there was and Assad's forces were behind it, how are the Russians to blame ...

Tye Tribbett who kicked off The Bloody Win Tour with JJ Hairston, Tasha Cobbs and JeKalyn Carr Easter weekend in Florida, says it’s not really time for passive Christians when explaining how the energy of the tour is really aggressive.

There is a big difference between fashion needs and a fashion wants. Sure, it's nice when a want is a need, but, unfortunately, this isn't always the case. Fashion does a great job of constantly flashing pretty things in front of us that it can be so easy to get swept up in it without being rational. If you have been lured in by unnecessary fashion wants, rest assured, you're not alone.

Part of the fun of being a designer on Zazzle is allowing your creativity to shine, to make unique designs that capture a customer’s eye. The other fun part is following the latest trends and putting your spin on them.

What’s Missing

The Art By Cedar Spring Sale is fast approaching!

The dates are May 8-14.

For weeks now I’ve been working on multiple works in progress all at once–starting new paintings and letting them dry before their next stages, then moving on to work on others.

Works in progress in Cedar Lee art studio

I will be completing as many of these beautiful Lotus paintings as I can, right up until the day the sale opens to the public!

GR: As I’ve often reported, only construction and total habitat destruction have done as much as invasive plants and animals to reduce global biodiversity and productivity. Introduction of invasive species is continuing its impact and the rate is accelerating. Global warming is gaining fast, and will combine with the others of the human impacts to push the human impact on the Earth to extremes that will require millions of years of recovery after we are gone. Here’s a report by Paul Simons on... Читать дальше...

It has a history that dates back to the 10th century. It’s where you’ll see spirituality in a new light. And it has a lovely stretch of beach in the most serene of settings. So it’s little wonder that Tharangambadi, formerly Tranquebar, means ‘land of the singing waves’. Situated in Nagapattinam district, along the coast of Tamil Nadu, this former Dutch settlement is replete with history and colonial vibes.

When you are growing a business, it’s hard to find time to focus on anything but the crises of today. Yet if you don’t spend some resources preparing for the changes in the marketplace we already know about, there may be no tomorrow for your business. In my years of mentoring and advising business leaders, I find that real planning for the future always gets the short shrift.

Last week, I took a look at ABC’s list of shows that had yet to be renewed. CBS has actually already renewed most of their shows, so these really truly are the “bubble shows”.

During our stay in Berlin, we called Hotel Am Wannsee our temporary home.

If you read my last post about my 'not so casual look', and how I end in dressing up my casual looks too, then you've hit a jackpot today, as I am talking about a few other ways you can effortlessly elevate any casual look. 
Accessories play a major role in determining the sartorial success of any outfit, and when I say accessories I don't just mean jewelry- your handbag, your shoes, your scarf, all of the aforementioned is accessory. Usually the chicest, trendiest looks are the hardest to find... Читать дальше...

There is nothing more enticing than the smell of freshly baked bread- and it is even more satisfying when you have baked it yourself. But most people are put off by the misconception that baking is challenging work. It is in fact, quite simple and extremely therapeutic. It is a terrific way to work through stress and aggression by mixing and kneading the dough!

Prince Harry has probably done a “first” for the royal family: he sat down for a lengthy podcast interview. And it’s about mental health! Harry chatted with The Telegraph’s Bryony Gordon’s Mad World inaugural podcast specifically to discuss mental health. In an effort to destigmatize therapy and seeking mental health support, Harry went in-depth about his grief over his mother’s death and how it took him years to really work through that grief. You can hear the podcast here at the Telegraph. Some... Читать дальше...

Oh hey Monday… you already? This weekend flew by as usual. And as most holidays tend to do. I wish that time would just slow down a little. We’re already making plans into the fall because we are so busy this year. And we still have no idea what’s going to happen with Z or where we’ll be living but that’s a story for another day…

After the news of the Garner Affleck divorce broke there were source quotes in various outlets about how amicable a divorce this was and how it was business as usual. We didn’t get a chance to cover some of those as they came out later on Good Friday and frankly we’ve heard it all several times before. E! had new quotes about how they were moving toward this for some time, how Jen has wanted to file for months, and how this was a mutual decision. Their source said, in part, “She gave him a chance... Читать дальше...
