Today, 11 November 2011 is remembrance day, marking 93 years since the armistice was signed between the Allies of World War I and Germany at Compiègne, France, for the cessation of hostilities on the Western Front of World War I.

Don Rowe, NSW State President of the Returned and Services League of Australia, said he hoped that on Remembrance Day this Friday Australians everywhere would follow the tradition of observing a minute’s silence at 11 a.m. to acknowledge the sacrifice of so many lives in so many wars over the past century.

“It only takes a moment for us all to stop what we’re doing, to pause, and to reflect on the lives that have been lost and to honour those whose lives are still at risk in the service of their country,” said Mr Rowe.

You can also show your respect by wearing a red poppy.

At the eleventh hour, on the eleventh day of the eleventh month, I will observe a minute’s silence. Will you?

Pancake unicorns, beehives, bridges, Ferris wheels, and even construction cranes have all risen to life through Jim’s artful use of squeeze bottles, tasty and nutritious coloring and flavor techniques, and fearless creativity. Now, with a little help from Jim, everyone can turn breakfast into art. Filled with full-color photos, and step-by-step instructions, OMG Pancakes! will be devoured by families and crafty foodies alike.”

Congrats to Rah and Dan on their big day yesterday! Our beautiful Rah…all growed up and getting married! She looked absolutely stunning, and Dan scrubbed up pretty noice too.

Our wonderfully talent Jarod & Liz were the photographers, so I can’t wait to see the rest of the pics from the day. If this little sample is anything to go by..they will be awesome!

Rah & Dan are off on their honeymoons (yes, in true Rah style..they are having 2) for the next few weeks. We hope they have an amazing time, and look forward to hearing all about noiceness when they return.

I enjoy Noice-ities – reflecting on the positives of the week just gone makes me feel heaps better about the negatives – because they are almost always outweighed by the positives… you’ve just gotta find them…!

Made with chenille soles which can be removed for easy cleaning, the slippers also feature pretty bows on top.  Not quite my cup of tea, but I’m sure they’ll appeal to someone.  And maybe that someone is you!

Interestingly, the Sur la Table website they’re featured on only mentions they fit women’s sizes 6-9.  Sexist comments aside, they’ll cost $12.95 plus shipping.

But what’s been YOUR favourite??

Has it been that double rainbow guy? Or the earworm song remix version of him?

Personally, my fave has been the Old Spice ads. Featuring Mr Isaiah Mustafa:

Can’t talk; swooning! ;)
