Pasta-Inspired Sterling Silver Necklaces That Help Feed the Hungry

Do you remember those kindergarten classes spent making masterpieces out of pasta and glue? Pasta art just got a lot more sophisticated thanks to Delicacies Jewelry, who recently released a line of pasta-inspired sterling silver necklaces. The collection, entitled Al Dente—which is the Italian term for perfectly-cooked pasta that’s firm to the bite—was created in collaboration with Barilla. Each piece is based on your favorite pasta shapes, from a bowtie-shaped farfalle to the corkscrew-like Rotini.

Working with charitable organizations such as Food Bank for New York City, Share Our Strength, No Kid Hungry, and New York’s City Harvest, this is a carb you won’t feel guilty about. Every purchase provides statement jewelry 20 meals to help feed the hungry.

When describing their motif, the brand goes deep into a passionate pasta-mythos that even borders on the spiritual. The Rotini necklace is said to promote “passion, happiness, and renewal” while the Penne Rigate piece promotes “passion, focus, and creativity”. Collectively, the pasta pendants are “a reminder of what it means to be human.” Delicacies go on to explain how “Pasta is a cross-cultural phenomenon; a food of communal, familial suppers and quiet comfort evenings. Pasta embodies the bond of human history and commonality. Wear it to remember ages past, and to draw on that history when you feel the world coming unraveled.”

Head over to the Delicacies Jewelry website where you can even take a quiz to discover your “spirit ingredient.”

Throughout history, artists have employed their talents as a means of self-expression. In addition to showcasing their skills, prolific painters, sculptors, and other creatives have used their work to communicate with viewers and share their interests and insights. Fortunately, expressing oneself with art is no longer limited to those who can create it. With these art history-inspired accessories, you can wear your favorite art on your sleeve—and in your hair!

Fine art jewelry, device decorations, and avant-garde neckwear are just some of the imaginative items featured. Additionally, this collection exhibits a wide array of inspiration that spans across several art movements by a range of artists. So, whether you opt to stick with the classics or are more into modernism, this selection of artsy accessories has something for every art lover.

Kandi Burruss Sets Things Straight About The Phone Number That She Made Public For Fans - See The Video

A while ago, Kandi Burruss told her fans that she’s making her phone number public so that they can reach her via text messages. A lot of people did not believe that this is true and thought that there’s something fishy going on, so Kandi decided to make a video and explain to people what’s this all about. Kandi Burruss Sets Things Straight About The Phone Number That She Made Public For Fans - See The Video.

You can check out Kandi’s clip below.

‘Text me at 404-458-9464 so that I can save you in my contacts! Everybody is wondering is it really me on the text messages… YES ITS ME!’ Kandi captioned her post.

Someone said: ‘Such a smart business move.. I believe this is the next wave from social media.. good way to stay in contact and engage directly with your audience.. Gary Vee has the same thing going on.’

Another follower wrote: ‘The text service doesn’t reach the UK which is disappointing.’

One other fan posted this: ‘Y’all are really texting?  When you start getting more scam likely calls and texts back, don’t wonder why.’

Just recently, Kandi decided that it’s time to open up about surrogacy.

You probably know by now that she and her hubby, Todd Tucker, just welcomed their baby girl Blaze Tucker into the family, and a surrogate carried their daughter.

Not too many of Kandi’s followers were aware of the reasons for which the RHOA star chose this option and that’s why.

Riot Forge Announces Story-Driven RPG: Ruined King, In Collaboration With Airship Syndicate

Riot Forge is in full force. After being announced last week by Riot Games, it already has released teasers for two new games in collaboration with two different independent studios.

For more information about Riot Forge, Riot Forge Announces Story-Driven RPG: Ruined King, In Collaboration With Airship Syndicate.

Airship Syndicate is located in thriving Austin, Texas. Airship Syndicate was founded by four industry veterans formerly of Vigil Games – the house that Darksiders built. Led by visionary comic artist Joe Madureira, they work with a focused group of talented contributors located both in their studio and around the world. Their first project, Battle Chasers: Nightwear, recently shipped on PC, Switch, Xbox One, and PS4.

Their company goal is simple: build a lean, fun, independent game studio to create top-quality games for a variety of gaming platforms. While the company is already focusing most of its resources on an ambitious project called Darksiders: Genesis, it will be interesting to see if they can deliver two great games in a short period.

Their currently released game of Battle Chasers: Nightwar is quite popular on steam, it is rated 9/10 on the platform, 4.5/5 on Google Play, and 81% by PC Gamer. Ruined King will follow the same route as Battle Chasers. The game will be a turn-based role-playing game set after the events of Burning Tides; players will take control of LoL champions and explore the bustling city of Bilgewater and the mysterious Shadow Isles in a game for the first time.

Featuring fan-favorite champions, innovative turn-based combat, and beautiful art direction along with brand new surprises and plenty of poros, Ruined King: A League of Legends Story advances the stories of many champions in the LoL Universe and offers an exciting new way to experience the World of Runeterra.

Riot Forge is in full forward-gear, announcing two ambitious projects, one week after the announcement of their creation was made public by Riot Games. While the two projects seem different, one is exploration, while the other wants to bring a new turn-based RPG style, Riot Forge should be able to help the independent studios deliver them both.

The recently announced games will make Riot Games a considerable force in the video game developer world. While some companies benefited from their monopoly on some types of games, such as Hearthstone by Blizzard Entertainment, Super Smash Bros by Nintendo, Riot Games should be able to compete with them with their ambitious ideas announced recently.

WoW Developer Pazorax Speaks Out About WoW: Classic’s Honor System

Not too long ago, Blizzard went ahead and implemented Phase 2 of the World of Warcraft: Classic experience. This second phase included multiple dearly-needed improvements, but the most important feature implemented was the World Player-vs.-Player systems, especially the honor system.

This feature, if you’re unaware, is integral to those that enjoy fighting each other in the open world instead of simply restricting it to battlegrounds. This style of play is vital to Player-vs.-Player (PvP) servers, and in many ways is really the only reason to play on them. The World PvP system, for better or for worse, makes it so that players of opposing factions can go to war with each other whenever they want. Of course, it isn’t always consensually, and you can expect to have an Undead rogue stalking you for hours if you step into Stranglethorn Vale at the wrong time. WoW Developer Pazorax Speaks Out About WoW: Classic's Honor System.

Kills generally net “honor,” which could be used to increase your PvP rank or to purchase PvP-specialized gear. Until recently, however, the honor system hadn’t been implemented. This didn’t stop players from killing each other, naturally, but they did so with the only reward being bringing glory to their faction instead of getting an actual tangible reward for it.

The honor system that was rolled out was a bit frustrating, though. Players complained that honor wasn’t being calculated correctly and that they were walking away from mass wars without nearly the honor they should’ve had. Additionally, many mistook the unforgiving slow crawl of the honor system to mean that it was broken, or that they weren’t being rewarded properly.

“We also know that some players confuse ‘estimated honor’ with actual honor. . . or confuse honor with rank,” Pazorax explained in the announcement. “The honor system is slow to progress you through the ranks, even in the best case, so many of these reports aren’t a case of the honor going ‘missing’ as much as they’re a case of an unforgiving system giving you less progress toward a rank than you were expecting.”

In short, the honor system is working fine and works similar to leveling up needing more experience per level. The gap between levels 1 and 2 is smaller than the gap between 2 and 3, and so on, so why would honor work any differently?

Either way, it’s been a wonderful excuse to kill each other for minimal reward. It’s one of the most enjoyable parts of the Classic experience, some might argue. If you’re out there prowling through the Searing Gorge with a Dwarf hunter in your sights, then lok’tar ogar!

Kanye West and Joel Osteen Reportedly Teaming Up Again for Yankee Stadium Show

As we move even deeper into the Jesus Is King era of Kanye West's career, we should probably expect more and more stories like this one, in which Yankee Stadium is reported as the site of another collaborative spectacle with wealthy televangelist Joel Osteen. Kanye West And Joel Osteen Are Teaming Up Again For Big Event In New York City.

Early Thursday, TMZ reported that the two would be reuniting at the New York City baseball park on May 2 as part of the megachurch pastor's "America's Night of Hope" series. According to the report, Osteen will do his usual pastoral thing, with West (presumably accompanied by his Sunday Service team) providing God stuff of the musical variety.

While it's Osteen’s first Yankee Stadium event with West, it marks his third time bringing the "America's Night of Hope" series to the venue. Details, per the report, are currently being ironed out. Tickets for previous Osteen events at Yankee Stadium have hovered around the $15 mark.

Previously, West joined Osteen at the Lakewood megachurch in Houston, at one point joining Osteen onstage to tell attendees he was "the greatest artist that God has ever created."

Jesus Is King opened at No. 1 back in October, garnering mixed reactions from critics, with emphasis placed on the album's lyrical subject matter. Thus far, the Christianity-promoting album has been supported by videos for "Follow God" and "Closed on Sunday."

Dianabol For Sale – Everything You Need To Know

Dianabol for sale is one of the most popular steroids in the world…

It’s famously used by Arnold Schwarzenegger and is often referred to as the “breakfast of champions”.

If you’re looking to gain some muscle, strength, are a bodybuilder, or even if you’re just a newbie getting into the weightlifting, some questions may have crossed your mind…

What can help to achieve that bodybuilding goal? Are steroids safe? Are they legal?

These questions are relatively easy to answer. The first one is simple…

There are drugs that can help you on your way to building that body shape that you want, and one of these is Dianabol.

The potential health-crippling side effects of Dianabol are not to be taken lightly. Common side effects include:

• Man Breasts – One of the most worrying and common side effects for bodybuilders is man-boobs. Due to its conversion to estrogen inside the body, it’s common for men to begin to develop breast tissue.
• Water Retention – This estrogen increase also causes the body to store water which causes you to appear bloated in the face and belly.
• Acne – Oily skin and acne are common among Dianabol and steroid users.
• Liver – Many oral steroids take their toll on the liver which when used for long periods can cause liver damage.

Some of these side effects can do permanent damage to a Dianabol user’s body.

If you came to this page by mistake, you can go to my HOME page first or you can pick another category from the menu bar (above). I have also posted my top-viewed posts below.

Most blogging sites offer free templates. Some are relatively plain while others are pretty elaborate. You can choose backgrounds, banners, headers, sidebars, post dividers and buttons that reflect your family’s personality.Travelling long haul with a baby, adjusting to a different climate, homesickness, living without a familiar support network, education and managing finances in a different country are just some of the concerns expat parents may have.

The good news is, there are many expat families, living and working around the world and sharing their experiences online. We’ve chosen 5 expat blogs for families you might consider following for tips on living, working and raising children abroad:

Life with Baby Kicks

Although reluctant at first, Laura grew to love living abroad. After four and half years in the Middle East, her blog is a fantastic resource if this is where your family may be headed.
Once you’ve started your blog and feel you have a pretty good lay of the land, The Cutest Blog on the Block and Shabby Blogs both have really cute graphics you can brighten up your site with.
When you start writing, the most important thing to consider is who your audience is. If it’s family and friends, they simply want to know what’s going on in your life. Keep your posts short and sweet with great photos. In other words, people will visit your blog for a quick update, not a manifesto.
Resist the urge to share your vents (unless of course, they are entertaining, brief and pertinent), and try not to share every single picture from your recent trip to the zoo. Instead, post the best of the batch to keep your visitors coming back to your blog, instead of avoiding it. It’s also a good idea to post on a consistent basis — nothing drives an audience away faster than sporadic updates.
Blogs can even become family keepsakes! Blog2Print offers a great service that lets you publish all your blog posts into book form.
