Our Texas Honey IPA is one of our favorite beers of the year. The base of pale malt, a touch of Vienna and then a large dose of Texas Wildflower Honey added to the kettle create a beer of massive complexity, a balanced sweetness and an impactful hop character that will keep you coming back for more. It's deceptively strong but incredibly balanced. Pretty soon our own bee hives will be producing the honey that we need for this beer. Texas Honey, saving the planet one bee-r at a time.
Golden, clear and just pretty. A stiff foam stand will linger on the top of your glass, releasing aromas of grapefruit pith, tangerine and a hint of tropical fruit with each sip. Put it in a tulip and you won't regret it.
Our preference is a juicy hamburger with a side of belgian fries. It's also really nice with a cheese plate and some honey, for good measure.
We love brewing and drinking IPA's more than just about any style of beer that we make. The wide array of hop varieties available to us offers endless possibilities for flavor and aroma. Some of the juiciest hops that we use come from New Zealand and this IPA is our ode to the Juice! We keep the malt bill simple to provide a platform for the hops to shine. Abundantly hopped both in the whirlpool and dry-hopping with New Zealand Wakatu.
Find the biggest glass around and fill it up to the top! Golden in color with a fluffy white head and a juicy aroma that you could cut with a knife.
While I'm sure there's plenty of options, we like to pair it with a game of Candyland and 6 of our closest friends.
Our Imperial Oatmeal Stout is a rich, dark and elegant beer. Built on a base of German pale malt, we add in multiple dark malts to provide a prominent aroma of roasted malt, coffee and chocolate. We add in a small amount of flaked oats to add a nice creaminess to the mouthfeel and finish it off with a hefty dose of Hallertauer Saphir hops for a crisp, hoppy finish.
As you would expect from an Imperial Stout this beer pours a deep, robust darkness with a brown, lingering head. Aromas of roasted coffee, dark chocolate, tobacco and just a hint of raisin lure you in for a decadent drinking experience.
Served in a snifter at 50 degrees will keep things on track. A side of almonds, strawberries and raspberries should pair just right.
Our Maibock is one of the more traditional beers that we brew. Showcasing the wondrous complexities of German malts, hops and yeast in a hefty beer with a crisp, lager finish. We blend an even split of Pilsner and Vienna malts and a responsible amount of German Hersbrucker hops to deliver a beer with a malty start and a crisp, noble finish.
We prefer it in a Pokal but at the best of springtime festivals you'll probably see it in a chalice of some kind. Beautifully golden in color with a bold malt aroma of toasted bread and water cracker finishing with a bright hop spiciness and crisp, clean finish.
Do it right with a plate of german schnitzel and some asiago cheese.
We didn't make the rules but we sometimes follow them. Our Vienna Lager is brewed with German Pilsner, Vienna and Munich malt and likely hopped with Czech Saaz hops. Our goal with this beer is to create a superbly drinkable amber lager. Aromas of bready malts, toasted almonds and a hint of toast open up to the light spiciness of the Saaz hops. Aged like a responsible lager should be and only available for the season.
Pours a beautiful amber color with a slightly off-white head that clings to the glass with each sip. Serve it in a flute glass and admire it.
Pair it with a hefty plate of migas if you like to drink in the morning or a large plate of fajitas for those that wait until after noon to imbibe. Either way, it's hard to find something that won't pair well.
Our Helles Lager is made for the summertime. Brewed to be simple and not analyzed. The best compliment that we receive about this beer is a smile and an order for another round. One of the simpler recipes that we have but the more complex fermentation to manage. Keep the yeast happy and this beer will keep you thirst quenched for the dog days of summer.
Light golden with a fluffy white head. A slight haze is present with our Helles and when served in a pilsner glass there's a 99% chance your going to instagram it.
A pool, a river, a lake or a golf course. No need for food, just make sure you have enough Helles.
Lupulin Rodeo IPA is part of our commitment to the excessive usage of hops! Blending 6 of our favorite varieties together to create a beer with a rich, grapefruit pith dankness and a juicy, tropical finish.
Lupulin Rodeo pours a hazy golden color with a thick, rich foam head. Flavors and aromas of stone fruit, tropical fruit, orange juice and dank spring forward with every sip accentuated by a soft mouthfeel and smooth finish.
String Cheese Incident and James Brown playing 4th of July, 2002 in Steamboat Springs.
Pellets & Powder IPA is our deeper exploration of hops and hop processing, showcasing the advancement of hops by utilizing pelletized hops, along side Cryo hops, aka Lupulin powder. The end result is soft, rounded juiciness with hints of stone fruit, orange juice and a touch of dank.
Pellets & Powder pours a hazy golden color with a thick rich foam head. You're immediately greeting with aromas of passionfruit, grapefruit pith, orange julius and a whisper of earthy spice and the flavors follow suit. The finish is smooth and crisp, inviting you back for more.
Friends and backyard BBQ's.
River Beer is our take on a classic style, Premium American Lager. We blend high quality German malt, fresh hops and the finest lager yeast to create a beer of extra fine quality and superb drinkability. In the glass, the beer is crystal clear, crystal clean and pairs well with 5 more. Light and bready malt character blends with a slight noble hop aroma that leads into a delightfully crisp and clean finish.
Pours bright golden and incredibly clear with a beautiful layer of white foam. Aromas a bready malt and America rise up from the glass with each sip, ending in a clean and crisp finish.
Rivers, beaches, lakes and backyards. Or front porches.
Haze County is our first year round double IPA! There are many different ways to approach a double IPA, but we chose to take the simple route: lots of hops. A mix of multiple Yakima Valley hops delivers a complex blend of tropical fruit, stone fruit and just a hint of earthy dankness. This delivers an experience that can only be found in the deliberate and expressive usage of hops.
Pours a beautiful golden hue with a firm, lasting white head. Notes of stone fruit, juicy citrus, grapefruit pith and an earthy dankness blend with just a hint of alcohol sweetness.
Pairs with dried meats, grilled salmon and a chocolate caramel cheesecake.
The Greenhouse has always been a breeding ground for the brewery. Spawned from our 3 bbl pilot system, the Greenhouse India Pale Ale series is our ode to the expressive usage of hops! Every month we release around 300 cases and with each we change the hop varieties that we use for dry-hopping in order to give you a different aroma and flavor experience. What this means for you is that every Greenhouse IPA release will be a little bit different, and all thanks to the wondrous contribution of one of our favorite plants!
Batch Sixty Four - Mandarina Bavaria
Zoe is brewed in a mildly traditional manner, very similar to many of the German lagers of the old world but dry-hopped to add an extra layer of complexity. This beer is based on pale and Vienna malts, light to golden in color with a beautiful white layer of foam resting on top, constantly delivering floral and citrus dry-hop aromatics with every sip. Zoe is meant to be paired with, well, life! With notes of lightly toasted bread, floral hops and an incredibly smooth finish we hope that Zoe is everything that you've been searching for in a pale lager.
Zoe pours straw golden with a nice, fluffy white head. As your nose nears the glass you'll instantly be taken to a land of citrus, lemons, and lightly toasted bread. A soft bitterness helps round things out. Perfect for sun, rain and the '75 Dead show at Winterland Arena.
Pouring at 47 degrees into a traditional pilsner glass will help to open up the hop aromatics. Best with four more, a nice big bowl of greens and a healthy cut of seafood.
A Pale Mosaic is our American style IPA showcasing a fairly new hop variety called Mosaic. The beer begins with a base of German Pale Ale and Vienna malts, and is brewed for a light, crisp malt body. We use Oregon grown hops for bittering, targeting 45 IBU's, and follow that up with a hefty whirlpool addition. Finally we dry-hop with Mosaic, Citra and Nugget to deliver a beer that is clean and complex with notes of pine resin, grapefruit pith and blueberries.
A Pale Mosaic pours a crisp golden hue with a rich white foam head. You will experience aromas of pine trees, grapefruit pith, tropical fruit. It has an herbal complexity that's sure to make you pat yourself on the back.
Keep it classy with a nonic pint glass served at 45 degrees. A Pale Mosaic pairs well with cedar plank salmon, spicy guacamole and bouncing 'round the room.
Porter Culture is a Baltic Porter that starts with a base of Pale and Munich malts. We layer that in chocolate wheat and de-bittered black malt to provide flavor of coffee, dark chocolate, raisins and just a hint of roast. Appropriately hopped to provide a crisp bitterness in the finish and fermented with our house lager yeast to provide a neutral yeast profile that stays out of the way and lets the malts take center stage.
Porter Culture pours wonderfully dark with a deep brown head. Immediate aromas of dark chocolate and light roast coffee greet your nose. A complex flavor profile delivers hints of raisin and toast with a rich, chocolate malt depth and lightly bitter, appropriately dry finish.
We recommend a tulip glass, it's pretty. Porter Culture is really tasty with dark chocolate. Caramelized onions or funky blue cheese also pair beautifully.
In a world of evolutions and innovations, we decided to devote an entire series of beers to the wondrous contribution that hops can provide. We've taken six of our favorite styles and given them a hop-lift of sorts. Each beer is balanced and refreshing with a deliberate and expressive amount of hops added to showcase the complexity and excitement that our favorite ingredient contributes.
A small batch series periodically released by Hops & Grain Brewing. Each Volumes of Funk release combines mature barrel aged beer blended from our oak barrels, puncheons and foeders. Wild yeast and bacteria influence the character of each release delivering a complex, funky and tart drinking experience. Each one is a uniques style that has been influenced in some form by wild yeast and bacteria.
We take our Belgian Style Saison which utilizes a base of pilsner malt, wheat and oats and ferment with our house Belgian yeast strain. After time in stainless steel the beer is racked into oak barrels, puncheons and fouders for secondary aging with multiple brettanomyces strains and a complex culture of souring bacteria. When the time is right, we transfer the beer into packaging tanks and dry-hop with a blend of some of our favorite pacific northwest and southern hemisphere hops. The result is an additional layer of juicy citrus character blended with the funk and tartness of the base Saison. After proper oil extraction we bottle the beer for a secondary fermentation creating a beautiful level of carbonation and a complex array of yeast and oak derived flavors and aromas.

Volumes of Oak is a small batch series periodically released by Hops & Grain Brewing. Each one is a unique style that has been influenced in some form by French and American Oak. Each release is the result of aging in a myriad of barrels that previously held wine or spirits. When the barrels tell us they are ready we blend and package. Each release delivers a complex array of flavors and aromas resulting from the type of oak and the previous use of the barrels.

I hate cancer! It's ugly and sneaky and sucks (mom, please forgive my use of that word, but that's just how I feel.)
Cancer has always been a dirty word in my family, mostly because my mom lost five of her eight brothers to various forms of the disease.

(Alphabetically Arranged)
Richard Hollerman
The plan of this study is simple. We will look at a large number of sins, one by one, alphabetically. We will define the sin, describe it, and comment on it, along with noticing Scripture references on the particular entry. Some illustrations will be offered along with the description.
When we think of carousing, we probably have images of young people spending the night on the town. They may be teens who get drunk, go to parties, and live irresponsible lives with little thought of tomorrow.We think of carousing during the night when certain sins are prevalent (cf. 1 Thessalonians 5:4-8; 1 Peter 4:2-5).
Paul says that we are to behave properly as in the day, then he describes what life in the spiritual darkness of sin involves: . . . not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and sensuality, not in strife and jealousy (Romans 13:13). Instead, we are to put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts (v. 14). Part of this darkness that we must renounce when we put on Christ is a life of carousing (KJV: rioting).
Just what is carousing? The English word carouse can mean to drink deeply and frequently.[1] The Greek means a revel,[2] carousing, revelry.[3] Barclay says, Komos expresses a lustful excess in physical and sexual pleasure which is offensive to God and to man alike. He says that Wand translates it as debauchery.[4]
This is a sin that might be found in the ever-popular parties of the high school and especially college crowd. The drinking, the drugs, the loose sex, the loud and bizarre music, the uncontrolled emotions, the lust, the utter worldlinessall of this expresses komos! The dances, the discos, the orgies at the beach, the night clubs, the bars, and so much more fall under the condemnation of Romans 13:13.
We might also note that Galatians 5:19-21 says that carousing is a work of the flesh that will prevent one from inheriting the kingdom of God! Let us forsake all carousingand anything similar to it.

In order to prove that your ancestor was a Lithuanian citizen before June 15th 1940, you must obtain an official copy of a birth record, or some other record dated before 1940, from Lithuania.
"Documents confirming that the person held Lithuanian citizenship prior to 15 June 1940 shall be the following documents: extant internal or foreign passports of the Republic of Lithuania issued prior to 15 June 1940; foreign passports of the Republic of Lithuania issued by diplomatic missions or consular posts of the Republic of Lithuania abroad after 15 June 1940; documents relating to service in the Lithuanian Army or employment in civil service; birth certificates or other documents having direct reference to Lithuanian citizenship held by the person, identity cards issued on the basis of documents issued in Lithuania prior to 15 June of 1940." – Lithuanian Archives
"In the absence of the above documents the following documents may be submitted: documents relating to studies, work and residence in Lithuania prior to 15 June 1940; Lithuanian descent shall be confirmed by documents testifying directly or indirectly that the person's parents or grandparents, or one of the parents or grandparents are Lithuanian or held Lithuanian citizenship." – Lithuanian Archives
In order to obtain records from Lithuania, there are two offices with which you will want to become familiar.
Lithuania State Historical Archives: This is the office you will want to contact to obtain birth,death, and marriage records. If your grandparents were born married or died in Lithuania – this is the office that will have the records for you.
Lithuanian State Historical Archives
Lithuania Central State Archives: If you are looking for any other record mentioned above, you will want to contact the Lithuania Central State Archives. Lithuanian Central State Archives
I strongly recommend contacting both of these offices at the same time. Do not contact the central archives for a birth record, and then wait until you are told there is no birth record to contact the state historical archives for additional records. All of this information is not electronic, and is stored in a warehouse somewhere in Lithuania. It takes time to sort through all of that information. In addition, the more evidence you have, the better. If you end up obtaining a birth record AND other records, that is just better for your case.
I sent an email to both offices – letting them know that I was looking for my grandparents' records. It took probably a week of turn around time to get a reply from both offices. The offices each sent me a form to fill out with information regarding my grandparents. I had to fill out 1 form for each grandparent, for each office. So four total forms. I have listed the forms below so that you are able to see what kind of information you will need about your ancestors.
Lithuanian State Historical Archives Form: State Historical Archives Form
Lithuanian Central State Archives Form: Central State Archives Form
*These forms and others can also be found here. *
It is important that you include any and all information you have available. I was able to include my great grandparents' names, my grandparents' birth years and cities, my great grandparents' siblings names and so on. I was not able to include every piece of information requested on these forms so if you cannot either – don't stress. Fill out as much as you possibly can.
In addition to emailing back my completed forms, there is also a fee for the search. The fee is charged for each persons' search. So I paid four fees total. One for each form. I believe the fees came out to around 80 USD total. The archives will let you know the exact fees when you contact them. I believe it was around 18 Euro for each form for one office, and less for the other office. You are allowed to send the money via wire transfer from your bank, or by mail. At first I thought I would send it via wire transfer. However when I got to the bank they informed me that it would cost 40.00 PER TRANSFER. (40.00 x 4 just to send the money internationally… No thank you.)
So, I opted for a money order and an envelope. I sent two money orders total. One money order to the Central state archives which included the funds for both grandparents, and one money order to the historical archives which included the funds for both grandparents. I also included a copy of the necessary forms, even though I had already emailed them. I wanted to make sure the funds were applied to the appropriate search. I chose to purchase priority mail with a tracking number, so that I could ensure my funds have reached the destination. This cost 25.00 per envelope. I did not include this 25.00 tracking number fee in my total cost, since it is optional.
YOU MUST send enough money to cover the conversion rate from dollars to Euros. if you send 18 USD and not 18 EURO you have not paid enough money. The approach I took was to send more, not less. I used a currency conversion app on my phone and rounded up. So, I converted 20USD to Euros instead of 18. I think I ended up sending a whole 4.00 more than I needed to, but that was worth the peace of mind and the potential month I saved not having to go back and forth with them to send more money. I also believe there is a fee for sending a money order, which was only like 2.00 or something. Again, they are very helpful and will tell you the exact fees when it is time.
Once I sent this information off to be worked on, I moved on to the second thing I had to prove.

The San Jose Earthquakes have signed veteran goalkeeper Jon Busch, according to CenterLineSoccer.com. Busch was released by the Chicago Fire on March 22, a little over a week before the season began, and it came as a surprise to all of his teammates as I wrote about last week.
But heres the twist ...
The Fire have their home opener on April 10 at Toyota Park, and guess which team they host? Yes, thats right, the Earthquakes. It will be a battle of the old vs. the new as Busch and the Quakes take on Andrew Dykstra and the Fire.
I wish Buschy the best because hes a good guy and a good professional," C.J. Brown, the veteran and only original Fire player still standing, said Tuesday after practice. "It hurts to lose him and he deserves to be on a team. I wish Buschy luck, but not necessarily the team very much luck. I hope he does well.
Dykstra, will be making an appearance on Chicago Tribune Live on Wednesday only on Comcast SportsNet. Make sure to tune in!

The kegel balls include one holder with retrieval loop and a bonus travel pouch. Wrapped in body-safe silicone, the set works with a body's own motion providing the wearer continual waves of pleasure.
"Kegel exercisers are an inventory staple for our adult retailers," said Erin V., marketing and vendor liaison. "And, because Cloud 9 Novelties offers high-priced value at maximum affordability, these Pro Sensual kegel balls are positioned to sell on the retail floor."
Adult retailers are encouraged to equip their stores with the Cloud 9 tester program. By purchasing a minimum of three kegel balls (of the same SKU), retailers receive one free tester per store location. The tester program is for store demo use only, not for resale.

we're so unaccustomed to hearing this particular type of thing from Elliott (OK--so, he's nothing but frankness! I know, but--I mean the topic, and the words) that many weren't certain he meant what he seemed to mean by the word "come". Elliott enjoys wringing multiple meanings out of seemingly-simple words or phrases.
all the more evident in what follows. everything up through "...where I come from" is terrific wordplay. the internal rhyme (Rock and lock...so get out your rhyming dictionary, and think of the other possibilities for that duo). the multiple military references (not only on Figure 8). but there are great ones here, also including what's currently my favorite E.S. song...that being "I Better Be Quiet Now". which like this song takes the shortest possible path from the songwriter's head to yours, musicially speaking in particular. I worried I'd never get it out of my head, but why would I want to?
asdf's (sometimes left-field) analysis is worth time and effort to unravel.
was Elliott a cineaste? before I heard this song, I'd always associated color bars with the Criterion Collection: who put this powerful tool at your fingertips, indispensable if you learn how to use it. their attention to detail...rendering of detail beyond what we're accustomed to seeing on our televisions: it's why their (usually) high price is always good value

If people remember one thing from 2008 I reckon it's going to be La Machine and La Princesse which has had Liverpool talking about little else over the last 4 days as the creature has made it's way on a magical journey around the city centre. The final day of this unbelievable event is today as the 50 foot spider finally makes her escape from both the city and the scientists! I watched the spider on Friday night at the Albert Dock as she took a bath in the Salthouse Dock (who says spiders don't like water?) before she headed off in torrential rain to sleep next to the Cunard Building. The event was amazing with around 20,000 turning up in the worst weather ever to witness it and, whilst is was as incredible sight to see, I spent most of the night photographing the audience as opposed to the spider itself. And then on Saturday afternoon I was lucky enough to get a position on the roof of the Town Hall to see the most amazing crowd you could ever imagine in a scene that looked like the Hard Days Night premier when The Beatles appeared on the balcony. Only with a 50 foot spider wandering around the crowd. And if yesterday is anything to go by then the finale tonight will be even better and God knows how many are going to turn up to watch her leave along Lime Street and down William Brown Street before attempting an escape via The Queensway Tunnel!
There's a few more photos of La Machine over at my Flickr site!

Geometric designs and pops of color are my jam. It goes without saying then that I'm obsessed with every piece by Xio Design Studio. These handmade wooden wall hangings are comprised of eye-catching chevron and pendleton patterns with brilliant color accents that make them irresistible.
Xihomara Alvarez is the genius artist behind these. Born and raised in Miami Beach, the Argentinian now resides in Joshua Tree by way of LA. Desert life in the slow lane seems to suit her well. Read on to see how natural surroundings and an urban upbringing inspired her beautiful woodwork.
How did your childhood in Miami shape you as an artist?
Miami Beach in the 80's was a bohemian place with musicians, artists and a lot of young families who were first generation from South America and Europe.
My dad was very artistic. He was really into music and painting. I was also artsy so I took classes with adults as a child.
I was fortunate my high school also had amazing programs. They offered a photography class with a full photo lab and dark room, which I took advantage of. If they saw that you were good at something, they really tried to nurture that.
I was a two-time National Scholastic winner in high school which got me into college. I went to Corcoran School of the Arts & Design for a year to take the foundation program and ended up at the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale for Photography. I was inclined toward any visual arts: painting, drawing, photography. I got into building furniture, and it evolved into what I do now.
Can you elaborate on exactly how you got into woodworking?
I started building my own furniture when I moved to LA. My first pieces were really rustic — big farmer's tables and long benches. Those pieces were expensive so I made them myself.
My wall hangings began as tabletops. Now I can make them more elaborate, and they aren't as time-consuming. That began to evolve, and West Elm invited me to be part of West Elm Local so they now sell my work.
Who or what inspired you along the way?
The desert inspires me. There's something about the wood that connects with the landscape and the way the chevrons remind me of sun rays.
I'm also an early 90's hip hop fan. That's what I grew up listening to, and I grew up with a lot of kids that did graffiti. I think that's where a lot of my color use comes from. Also having lived in Miami and New York, I was in touch with the urban scene and used to wear my G Star skinnies with Dunks and a leather jacket. I had a hipster/hopster vibe, I guess? (Laughing) There's definitely an undertone of all of that in my work. I could probably make a lot more money if I focused only on neutrals, but it's fun to play with color.
As for people, Keith Haring and Basquiat were big influences. De La Soul…I'm totally an 80's baby so (I love) anything neon and bright from that era!
What's next for you?
What I really want to do is start building permanent structures and large furniture, perhaps for retail stores or restaurants. Similar to the counter I built for Frontier Cafe. I'm a builder. I enjoy making smaller wall hangings, but I also want to go nuts and build something large on-site. Then paint a mural there.
What brought you out to Joshua Tree?
I was in LA and felt like I was on this hampster wheel. I was really unhappy and I felt like I wanted to do something different. I think when you're in your early thirties, you get an itch and wonder if this is it.
I was considering moving to Seattle, Oregon or Northern California. I was looking for places to live that had a garage so I could make art. I put it into Padmapper, and this area lit up like a Christmas tree. I had never really been to Joshua Tree before.
I made an appointment to see a house in Landers. As soon as I saw it, I drove to the owner's house, signed a lease, wrote a check and moved out here two weeks later. I didn't know anything or anybody out here! I only knew that when I saw the house and all those Joshua Trees, I thought, yes!
What is your life like here in Joshua Tree?
I haven't left the desert in a year, and I'm not planning to anytime soon. I'm staying in the vortex. I like it here; it's innocent. I don't know what day of the week it is, and I'm just making stuff and hanging out with friends. It's nice.
I used to be into buying expensive clothes and getting expensive haircuts. Since I moved out here, all of a sudden, I just don't care about any of that stuff. I don't care if my jeans are brand new because the desert is so rough that I don't have anything nice. I go into town in my pajamas, and everybody else is in their pajamas. It's great.
What are some of your favorite spots around here?
Garth's Boulder Gardens is magical. He preserves so much land and anyone can visit anytime; it's donation based. There are animals roaming around, and he does full moon ceremonies. Many photo shoots take place there.
Indian Cove is really beautiful. I love going there.
Bobby Furst's Furstworld is an amazing space that's perfect for events. I also go to live music events and shows at Taylor Junction and Frontier Cafe.
Those are the places that inspire me here. I try to get outdoors every single day and often go hiking and climbing with friends.
There's something about the wood that connects with the landscape and the way the chevrons remind me of sun rays.
I can never have too many:
Power tools
Right now I'm obsessed with:
Table belt sander
My drink of choice:
Green tea
The last concert I attended was:
Matt Adams aka the blank tapes at the palms
My best travel souvenir was:
A vintage silver bracelet from Mexico.
I'm dying to visit:
The best advice I've ever been given:
I am first generation American, and my father had a huge impact on my life. He raised me to be strong and independent and always told me never to settle and to follow my dreams.

Fashion lovers across the 6ix, rejoice! Toronto Women's Fashion Week is finally here, resurrected after having been unexpectedly cancelled last July. After months of preparation, showgoers will be treated to an innovative display of up and coming local talent starting March 9, all the way through till the 12th.
The week kicks off with a look into the high-acclaimed Toronto Fashion Incubator. This year, the TFI celebrates 30 years of supporting and nurturing Canadian fashion designers and entrepreneurs, many of whom have gone on to establish prominent careers in the industry (famous alumni include Sunny Fong of Project Runway and Pina Merlisi of Alexander McQueen). On Thursday, current TFI residents will be presenting their collections at Waterworks, an impressive industrial space located in downtown Toronto. The presentations will then be followed by the TFI afterparty, a red-tie soirée slated to be "the most talked about fashion party of 2017".
Following said night of dancing, networking, and one too many drinks, it's runway show galore. 19 shows are scheduled between 5pm on Friday and 9pm on Sunday, so word to wise: wear comfy shoes. We here at SHE are particularly looking forward to Peggy Sue's show and "Emergence", a presentation by the Toronto Film School. Sue describes her collection as an ode to "the North American fibre industry", and designed "to sustain lifetimes of wear"-- an ethos that speaks to the all too common discourse of late regarding sustainability in fashion. "Emergence", on the other hand, is exciting for an entirely different set of reasons: this 70-piece runway show will feature designs from current students and recent graduates of the Toronto Film School's Fashion Design Diploma, whose influences draw on everything from African textiles to Japanese biker gangs.
Interested in the going-ons of TWFW, but can't make it to the shows themselves? Not to worry! SHE has you covered. Follow us on the usuals social media suspects (Instagram, Twitter, our blog), where our interns will be documenting the best looks, hottest trends, and all the behind-the-scenes highlights. Here's to hoping we get through the week, our sanity and heels intact.

3 Things: January 2018
I can't decide if January was the longest or the shortest month on record. Some days it felt as though time had just stopped, but the next thing you knew it was the end of the week. I am verging on deciding it was the longest though. There were too many days between December and the January payday. Way too many.
On a more positive note, I achieved my monthly goal; as of Wednesday, January is the first month in Wandering Scotland's history that I published a post every single week at the same time. One post a week! It may not seem like much to most seasoned bloggers, but it's a hell of a lot to me. I've never managed it before. It makes me feel like I can actually hack it at this blogging thing.
January has indeed been an enlightening month. I've discovered some newfound sense of inner confidence, which has meant that for the first time ever I've been communicating with other bloggers through social media, without the irrational terror of inadequacy that usually accompanies such interactions.
This strange new confidence isn't just helping me online. I've been feeling more comfortable taking charge at work. I'm more at home in myself as a person. I'm quite comfortable now being myself, by myself and with others, not full of the usual anxiety and cares about other people's opinions.
Where this new Lauren came from I've no idea, but I quite like her.
1. Good Friends
As many of you know, I am actually quite an introvert. Yes, I'm loud and brash and annoying, but I really like spending time on my own, inside my own head. It's how I recharge.
Now, any introvert will tell you that once you realise that there's nothing wrong with you and you just need to spend time alone to recharge just as extroverts need to be with people to do the same, you can get really bad at becoming a bit of a hermit and just never go out and spend time with people. Your own company is just so much easier to deal with.
But January 2018 has seen me spend probably more time than ever with other people, and you know what? I've loved it.
I'd been struggling with finding my place at uni and amongst my friends, but somehow I returned to uni with a clearer view of where that was. It was as me, not belonging to any clique, just being me.
And with that, I'm valuing people's company more.
I feel comfortable and free being around the girls in my best friend's flat (I practically live there myself I'm there that often). I'm happy with my friends at uni. I see their foibles and their flaws and I don't care anymore. They're being them, and I'm being me, and we fit in our funky mish mash of people.
I have so much to say about my feelings regarding my friends and relationships this year, so I think maybe I'll put them in their own post rather than hash it out here.
2. Good Books
I have always been an avid reader, but over the past few years, the number of books I've been reading has declined. Nothing has been able to grab my attention enough for me to cut out time in my busy schedule to read, and I can't be bothered adding a heavy novel to my already weighty backpack.
But before Christmas, I picked up A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness from my Gran's mini-library after being intrigued by the title, and shortly after finished it and bought the rest of the series.
Reading, especially good, really well-written books, fires up my imagination so much and makes me want to get back to writing my own stuff.
So, thanks to Deborah Harkness, and following Rhianne from Little Novelist on Instagram and Twitter to keep my motivation up, I now have a novel (possibly a series) in the works. Watch this space!
3. Honest Teachers
Everyone knows that performers are bitchy. Well, at least the archetypal performers you see on TV and in Films. And spending so much time around musicians and performers, at least in a Conservatoire setting, has a tendency to breed low self-esteem and a feeling of inadequacy. It can actually make you a little scared to take risks and 'show-off' as it were, in case something goes wrong or people start asking "who does she think she is?".
This is something that we all know but rarely admit, much to the point that you don't realise that it's actually what's holding you back. Until your teacher tells you in class. And forces you to take that risk and show off. And you find that nothing bad happens.
It feels great.
Turns out all I really needed to light a fire under my bum with regards to my singing was a really good public pep talk from a teacher.
Anyway, that was January, the long-short start to 2018. I have to say, if that's how this year is going to continue, then I am in fact definitely look forward to 2018!
How about You?

Leather Together With Canadian Designer Kat Marks
Recently I was invited by popular Canadian leather designer Kat Marks to spend an intimate evening (charmingly dubbed "Leather Together") with a group of bloggers and local influencers to create custom leather luggage tags. During the two hour private workshop, Marks led us through the process of making our own personalized luggage tag, under her careful guidance and watchful eye. She provided detailed step-by-step instructions on how to create our leather souvenirs and customize them so they suited each of our personalities. I embossed mine with "FANCY." Obviously.

Cinco de Mayo Style For The Guys
CINCO2015 is tomorrow night and guys should have fun embracing the Cinco de Mayo look. When thinking of traditional Mexican inspired men's fashion, sombreros, ponchos, traditional matador uniforms and mariachi band outfits immediately come to mind. And unlike some of the Cinco de Mayo-inspired women's looks (colourful dresses, flowers, big and bold accessories – a la Frida Kahlo ), some customary Mexican looks for men can be slightly harder to interpret. But that doesn't mean it can't be done. Last year, Italian label Etro designed a whole collection celebrated the unique Mexican aesthetic with an awesome and sexy collection.

Elza Erkip, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering, will be the 2016 recipient of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Women in Communications Engineering (WICE) Award for her outstanding technical work in communications engineering and for bringing a high degree of visibility to the field.
The award will be presented on December 4, 2016, at the Third Women's Workshop on Communications and Signal Processing, held in conjunction with IEEE GLOBECOM, a flagship conference of the IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc) and the world's largest annual gathering of communications engineering professionals from academia, industry, and government.
Erkip, a fellow of the IEEE, has received many other honors from the group, and she was recently elected second vice president of the IEEE Information Theory Society; she is scheduled to ascend to the presidency in 2018.
She received the IEEE Communications Society Stephen O. Rice Paper Prize in 2004, the IEEE International Conference on Communications' Communication Theory Symposium Best Paper Award in 2007, and the IEEE Communications Society Award for Advances in Communication in 2013. She was a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Information Theory Society from 2013 to 2014 and has held numerous editorship and organizational roles in IEEE publications and conferences over the course of her career.
Additionally, Erkip has been elected to the Science Academy Society of Turkey and was among the Thomson Reuters 2014 and 2015 Editions of Highly Cited Researchers. Early in her career, she was selected by the National Science Foundation as one of the country's promising young researchers receiving its CAREER Award.
"It's an incredible honor to be given the WICE Award," Erkip said. "I am proud to be a member of IEEE Communications Society and to be of service to its Women in Communications Engineering Committee. To be recognized by my fellow engineers and researchers by this prestigious award is very gratifying."
As a faculty member of the research center NYU WIRELESS, Erkip has conducted work that has made significant advances in communications technology. She is one of the pioneers of cooperative networking, and more recently she has been working on 5G wireless systems.
"Professor Erkip is an enormous credit to the school — and not only because of the honors she continually accrues," Dean of Engineering Katepalli R. Sreenivasan said. "Her active involvement in the IEEE proves her devotion to the scientific community, and her tireless work to ensure the widespread availability of wireless service proves her commitment to placing technology in service to society. Those are the ideals that we hold in high esteem here at NYU Tandon, and Professor Erkip perfectly embodies them."

Grumpy Cat may be grumpy, but the cat's owner, Tabatha Bundesen, may need a truck to cart the money earned by her famous feline, rumored at close to $100 million in the last two years. Bundesen denied the amount, according to the Huffington Post, calling the claim by the Daily Express "completely inaccurate," but there is no doubt the cat has millions in the bank.
Bundesen said that Grumpy Cat, whose real name is Tardar Sauce, is "unstoppable. What she's achieved in such a short time is unimaginable and absolutely mind-blowing. I was able to quit my job as a waitress within days of her first appearance on social media, and the phone simply hasn't stopped ringing since."
The feline, born with dwarfism and an underbite, launched its career when Bundesen's brother posted a photo online, prompting Ben Lashes, an "internet cat" agent, to represent the cat. 521,000 followers on Instagram and 255,000 on Twitter now follow the cat, which can be seen in ads for Grumppuccino coffee, Friskies cat food, and the front pages of the Wall Street Journal and New York magazine. The feline has also "written" two books, one of which is a New York Times bestseller.
There is movie stardom ahead: the cat will star in the Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever, a film described as a mix of Home Alone and Die Hard.
Bundesen said she has a deal with the Lifetime channel, and any further information would be provided through that venue.

As a die-hard movie buff, I have to be candid and admit that I don't typically walk away from a Christian film enthusing, "BEST MOVIE EVER!" It's not that I look down my nose at people who aren't cinephiles, it's just who I am and what I like. The truth is, I could quite literally talk all day long about great movies (although it's better when someone else is actually in the room listening!) I'm one of the only people I know who could watch a Tom Cruise action movie but only get really excited at the Robert Duvall cameo. And if you have no idea who I'm talking about, that's totally fine. Moving on…
Nonetheless, I still observe the Christian movie industry with hope. And I try to give the trailers for coming Christian film attractions a fair shake. This past month, a little film came out that piqued my interest, and it may pique yours too. It was cleverly marketed as the "anti-Nifty Blades of Hay" (my fake name for the Cult Phenomenon Which Shall Not Be Named, on which you can read more of my thoughts here). The marketing trick worked, and the small film generated a lot more buzz than usual as a result. My question was, is it actually any good? While I have yet to see it myself, I am pleasantly surprised and hopeful based on a few clips and trailers.
The premise is that a shy but sincere Christian man falls in love with the girl upstairs in his building. The man is in his 30s but a relatively new believer. We get the sense that there is more to his past than we're told at first, but as a result of his newfound faith, he's committed himself to an almost obsessively old-fashioned model of romance and courtship. This is equal parts charming and frustrating for the girl he's attracted to. She is not a Christian, but he openly shares his faith with her and encourages her to read the Bible. One of the things I like about the movie from what I've seen of it is that it gives both sides of the courtship debate a fair hearing. On the one hand, it celebrates the main character's desire for old-fashioned romance and chivalry in his relationship. In his words, "When did treating women with respect become the joke? You want to laugh at the idea that love can be something sacred? Go ahead. Laugh."
On the other hand, it's not afraid to look honestly at his insecurities, or to put tough criticism in the mouths of good characters with his best interests at heart. (I can tell already that the hard-hitting old aunt is going to be my favorite: "Play time is over. Be a man!") Unlike the relationships in some Christian films, this one seems to evolve in a very human, un-forced way. Both characters bring baggage to the relationship. Both characters learn to be honest with themselves and each other. While Old Fashioned does have a message, in some ways it feels more like a low-key independent flick than a "message" movie.
Here's a short video where writer/director/lead Rik Swartzwelder talks about the heart behind the film. Unfortunately, this guy has not been blessed with the most trustworthy face, but he seems to have many good ideas in this movie!

Consumer Engagement in Health Care and Choice of Health Plan: Differences Among Millennials, Baby Boomers, and Generation X Have Implications for Plan Sponsors
April 2017, Vol. 38, No. 6
Paperback, 12 pp.
PDF, 975 kb
Employee Benefit Research Institute, 2017
Executive Summary
The EBRI/Greenwald & Associates Consumer Engagement in Health Care Survey (CEHCS) is an online survey that examines issues surrounding consumer-driven health care, including the cost of insurance, the cost of care, satisfaction with health care, satisfaction with health care plans, reasons for choosing a plan, and sources of health information. It is co-sponsored by the Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI) and Greenwald & Associates, Inc., with support from seven private organizations.
The 2015 survey was conducted online Aug. 4-21, 2015, using the Ipsos' consumer panel. Over 3,590 adults ages 21-64 who had health insurance provided through an employer, purchased directly from a carrier, or purchased through a government exchange, participated in the survey. However, most survey participants (82 percent) received coverage through an employer. The sample was weighted to reflect the actual proportions in the population ages 21-64 with private health-insurance coverage. Key findings on generational cohort differences:
- Millennials value and are more satisfied than other generational cohorts with aspects of plan management that are directly within a plan sponsor's control. More than other generational cohorts, millennials are satisfied with the process of enrollment, including the information available to help understand health plan choices. Further, millennials are more satisfied with the availability of affordable health plans at enrollment and their personal financial experience of out-of-pocket costs. Millennials are slightly less satisfied with health system features that plan sponsors have less control over, including quality of health care received and doctor choice. This is an issue plan sponsors may engage their insurance partners to address.
- Millennials are more engaged than other generational cohorts in health care choices, including some that are costly for plan sponsors. At enrollment and when engaged with the health system, millennials report higher rates of specific behaviors that contribute to more engaged health care consumers. However, they are also more likely to request a brand name drug over a generic. Plan sponsors may want to experiment with targeted ways to lower plan costs among this subset of their participant population. Millennials report greater engagement with cost-conscious behaviors (e.g., seeking the cost of a procedure before receiving services) that many plan sponsors encourage through their health plan design and participant education.
- Plan sponsors may have more leverage to encourage millennials to stop smoking. This research shows that millennials have the highest rates of regular exercise and normal weight, yet paradoxically are more likely to smoke. Given the higher overall engagement rates summarized above, plan sponsors may want to experiment with plan design and education to decrease the rates of smoking among the youngest generational cohort.

In search of good coffee in Greenpoint myself and my boyfriend headed into Homecoming, a small coffee shop/flower shop on the incredibly picturesque Franklin Street. Homecoming have made the switch from Brooklyn based Blue Bottle Coffee over to the San Franciso origin Sightglass.
On their serving counter is a little glass display, filled with—of course–the standard coffee shop staple: Dough donuts, and some cookies. I went for the Chocolate Walnut, a decently palm sized cookie. It's not a destination for a cookie but if you fancy a bite with your coffee that's fresh and not too stodgy, this is a safe bet.

I am currently researching all of the aquariums in all of Tampa Bay. I'm interested in aquariums because we took Kyle pretty recently to the largest aquarium in Tampa Bay.
The Florida Aquarium, located in Tampa, sits in between Port Tampa and Channelside, the shopping mall-like cluster of restaurants and shops.
When we went to the Aquarium in early March, it was so crowded in the animal viewing area where they were going to show the penguins. He was anxious. About the dark, about not being able to see the penguins. Then, another animal handler showed up at the back of the area. We were so glad for that. He got a good look at the penguin she was holding. So that was a plus. As were the two screens that were in the front of the standing-room only theater. But Kyle couldn't see those easily, he had to be hoisted up by his dad.
He was anxious while visiting some of the other areas, as well. He tried not to be. I could tell. But, he did ask to go back. That made me smile.
It'll have to wait, though. Even though we'll be too busy with something else in two weeks there is an upcoming event being held there for special needs kids.
On May 4th, there will be a special event held just for kids with autism and similar sensory issues. The event is a result of the partnership held between the Florida Aquarium and C.A.R.D. USF and is called "A Day of Discovery." C.A.R.D. is the Center for Autism And Related Disorders, and is
From the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 9:30 a.m., special activities and animal interactions are planned just for our kids.
This will be beneficial to all of these kids, because they won't have to be jostled in a crowd in order to see the animals, in addition to reducing their stress levels because of the reduction of the noise level. As we know, kids with Autism Spectrum are very sensitive to sounds.
While the event ends at 9:30, guests of the Day of Discovery event are invited to extend their stay afterwards, and attend any part of the Aquarium, including the water park, Explore a Shore. This splash zone is a zero-depth water park and play area.
Admission for the event is $5 before, and $8 at the door. Tickets can be purchased ahead of time by calling 813-273-4000, ext. 4255.
In addition, you can prepare your child in advance for their trip by visiting their website and showing them pictures of what the building looks like, and some of the animals. I did that, even though he'd been there before. It's still a good idea to do that, to lessen anxiety about knowing where he's going.
But, there's more on their website than I noticed before.
On the Explore the Aquarium section of their website, www.flaquarium.org, the Aquarium has an Accessibility page that includes information for those with autism. There are social stories (wish I'd known that!).
One is a booklet and is called "A Visit to The Florida Aquarium." It's got a lot of information about what to expect while visiting the exhibits, and even explains to the child how to ask for things he or she needs. Then there are four social stories for specific areas and tours the Aquarium provides.
Wow, when we do go back, we'll have to use these.
TTFN, Heather
