If you or someone you know enjoys working on projects and making their own woodwork items, chances are they have at least some workshop tools.

Advocacy Alert: Safety on Boston Common | Oct. 19, 2017

The Friends has been concerned for some time about the safety of the public on Boston Common. There have been several frightening incidents recently, in a heavily used park that is consistently plagued with a host of quality of life crimes which can sometimes break out into violent crime. Such was the case with the shooting that occurred on September 12th and the stabbing of July ...

Open Post: Hosted By The Teaser Trailer For “I, Tonya”

Because the voting fingers of Oscar voters get a hard-on for gorgeous actresses who homely themselves up for a role, Margot Robbie has been getting Best Actress buzz (yes, I too hate myself for typing “Best Actress buzz”) for playing Oregon rose Tonya Harding in I, Tonya. And the first teaser trailer was released today. On a scale of YES!!!! to WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY??!, the trailer is a little closer to ...

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's Journey to Finding Their Perfect Photo Pose

In Cold Blood by Truman Capote is the only non-fiction book on this list. Capote researched six years before writing the true story of the savage murders of the Clutter family. This book disturbed me on an entire other level when I first read it many years ago. With the scariest, most horrific and gruesome books, you can always calm down and feel better by reminding yourself it's just a book. It's fiction. In Cold Blood is saddening, maddening, sickening and mournful. And there's no way out of those emotions as you read it. Читать дальше...

I have to say how moved I have been this week by Facebook friends who have posted "Me Too" notices on their pages at last 'coming out ' to express that they too have been victims of sexual harassment in the workplace. For me the extent of the degradation that young women experience at the hands of unscrupulous colleagues and bosses has been a revelation. I am a feminist and now nearly 60 and although I was often targeted by 'small boob, nice bottom' type comments, being a publicans daughter, I was... Читать дальше...

The scares in A Head Full of Ghosts by Paul Tremblay are as unsettling as they are ambiguous at times. You never know when Tremblay will sneak an attack turn of phrase into the pages and make you catch your breath. The story is about a family dealing with the increasingly bizarre behavior of their fourteen-year-old daughter, Marjorie. It reads as a haunted house meets The Exorcist story. But what really sets it apart is Marjorie's eight-year-old sister, Merry. The book is told through her eyes both as a child and as an adult. Читать дальше...

It's rare a collection of short stories can simultaneously scare the living hell out of you and choke you up, but that's exactly what Joe Hill, son of one Mr. Stephen King, manages to do with the freshest collection of horror shorts in a long, long while. This book was originally published in 2005, and it won the British Fantasy Award, The International Horror Guild Award, and the Bram Stoker Award for best collection. Twentieth Century Ghosts contains 15 of the most severely bizarre and original stories ever conceived. Читать дальше...

This book is SO disturbing. The monsters aren't supernatural but human. And your neighbors. And it was based on a true story. This was one of the first books I read that shattered a pre-conceived notion about human nature; and not in a good way. It is horrific and not recommended for anyone who can't easily forget entertainment that also truly terrorizes.

It's odd we celebrate a holiday dedicated to remembering the dead. The word Halloween is literally a contraction of All Hallows' Evening; a time we dedicate each year to think about the deceased including martyrs, saints (hallows) and the rest of the faithful departed. Most of us don't celebrate the dead on Halloween. We dress up and get candy. It's 2016. We're a lazy lot.

If you walk into my parish church on any given Thursday between 5 and 6 p.m. you might be confused. In the dim light of early evening, you will find four to 20 people sitting in silence, at a polite distance from one another, heads bowed, or gazing at the altar. Some might even be reading.

Children’s Hour is a  feature here at Lucybird’s Book Blog every Thursday where I’m looking at children’s picture books. As I work in a nursery I get plenty of opportunities to look at picture books, and to see what the kids think of them so it really makes sense to use those experiences.

For the last 6 years, Slow Down and Savor has been a place where I can unabashedly talk about food, which quite frankly, has been awesome. I've been able to dive into where I live, head first, meet new people, eat some truly amazing fare, and have so much fun while at it. I have also learned a lot about being a home-cook, preparing meals for my family. I know we all appreciate that. Yum!

GR: Over the past four years that I’ve reported bad news, this is the worst. We’ve known that insects were declining, but no one would have guessed the decline was this deep. Habitat loss is probably the leading cause (Yay farmers!), but pesticides applied to farms, roadsides, and settled areas undoubtedly play a serious part.

Floral décor for your tea party

Tea parties are plenty of fun for all. There's no specific age that you have to be in order to enjoy this kind of get together. It's also important to note that you don't have to love tea in order to have fun at a tea party! There are usually several beverages as well as the most scrumptious treats that will have everyone begging for more.

Firstly, when planning the décor for your tea party, it's important to make sure that you create some kind of... Читать дальше...

Decorate your macramé plant hanger

Whether you wish to make your own macramé plant hanger or you already have one, it's good to remember that there are a number of ways to make your design even more beautiful and impressive. Here are a few ways of accessorizing your macramé plant hanger and giving it more colour.
