Menopause is when you'll get hot flashes, sleep problems, lose your sex drive, feel unsexy and put on weight, right?
So at 43, you are wondering "Why do I have all that plus the added insult of heavy periods and worsening PMS"?
Photo by Anne Lanphear
Most women associate menopause with problems, but fail to realize that the period of 10-12 years preceding menopause, known as perimenopause, is where the real challenge is due to shifting and unpredictable hormone levels.
As someone who is fully settled into menopause and is happier and healthier than ever before, I wanted to share with you how you can take charge of your health in perimenopause in order to have an easier menopause later on.
Perimenopause Equals Hormone Imbalance
Perimenopause can begin anywhere from 35-45 and is a challenging time because the ovaries (which produce progesterone and estrogen) are starting to go into retirement. As opposed to menopause, where your sex hormones don't shift anymore, and are at new low, steady levels.
What Happens To Estrogen In Perimenopause
Estrogen is not in decline in your perimenopause years, it is shifting. It surges one month and drops the next month. Estrogen in perimenopause is unpredictable and unstable. When it is high (termed estrogen dominance), it can cause heavy periods, PMS, bloating and irritability. When it is low, it can cause the blues, hot flashes, cravings and night sweats.
What Happens to Progesterone in Perimenopause
Progesterone, our soothing hormone, is in a free fall and once it drops, it never returns. We become permanently progesterone deficient in perimenopause, at a time that we need it the most.
Progesterone is made my the ovaries when we ovulate. Although you may still be menstruating regularly, you are likely experiencing anovulatory periods, which means that you are not ovulating. When you don't ovulate, you don't make progesterone. There is nothing wrong with you, this is simply your body's way of moving towards the natural stage of life where you become infertile. But it does mean less progesterone and that can be very problematic for some women because progesterone helps your thyroid function better, is protective against those estrogen surges and it calms anxiety.
What Happens to Cortisol in Perimenopause
Cortisol, our main stress buffering hormone, is made in the adrenal glands and is secreted in various amounts throughout the day.
As women transition through perimenopause, overnight cortisol levels can increase. This is linked to problems with sleep-wake patterns, hunger, energy levels and immune system health.
There is also some evidence that cortisol can elevate in the presence of exogenous and endogenous estrogen levels, and remember those estrogen levels are like electrical power surges in perimenopause. Rising cortisol levels are associated with poor health and more severe hot flashes.
Perimenopause is a great wake up call and time to do a thorough life assessment. If you've not tended to your own needs on a physical and emotional level, menopause will likely hit you over the head and you'll be beset with multiple and uncomfortable symptoms.
4 Simple Things You Can Do in Perimenopause Now To Have an Easier Menopause Later:
- Get the inflammatory foods out of your diet. Things like commercial dairy, gluten, GMO corn and sugar are inflammatory for everyone. Other foods such as grains can be inflammatory for others. If you find the right way of eating for you, you will lose stubborn weight, feel better and be able to deal with the challenges of shifting hormones that are a given in perimenopause.
- Take some magnesium, especially if you suffer with hot flashes. Magnesium is a mineral that we can easily become deficient in due to stress because the body dumps it when we are under stress. A good amount to start with is 300-400 mg per day, preferably with dinner as part of your wind down ritual.
- Know your baseline hormone levels-A DUTCH hormone test will tell you not only your absolute estrogen level but also show what your body is doing with the estrogen (this is called estrogen metabolites). It will also give you a more thorough look at the adrenals than a saliva panel does and can also look at your melatonin. It's a great all around hormone test for perimenopausal women who want to take ownership of their health.
- Do an honest life assessment-Where are you now? How is your health, really? Do you sleep? Are you happy in your job, relationship? What can you do to make things better? How can you nurture your spirit and body?
Need some help navigating the rough perimenopause waters? Are you struggling with putting your finger on exactly what is going on in your body and life? Well, I've been through perimenopause and menopause and am here to tell you that you can be healthy and well balanced in your 40s, 50s and beyond and can help you make sense of this time of your life.
Women who are ready to take control of their health but just need a little guidance can book a complimentary, no-strings-attached, 20 minute session with me right here to find out more about how I work to help you get your hormones back into balance.

The federal government overstepped its authority by issuing a rule to regulate hydraulic fracturing, according to several states and the gas industry.
In briefs filed in their lawsuit against the Interior Department's fracking rules, the states and industry groups accuse Interior's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) of claiming overly broad authority over oil and natural gas drilling on federal land.
"Absent a specific grant, the BLM cannot demonstrate congressional intent to alter the more specific provisions of the [laws] or the longstanding balance of power under which North Dakota has primary responsibility over land and water use," the state said. "The BLM cannot make an end-run around Congress' clear intent and infringe upon North Dakota's unmistakable sovereign interest in regulating hydraulic fracturing."
North Dakota, the other states and the industry groups are asking a Wyoming federal court to overturn the fracking standards that BLM released a year ago, which apply to federal and American Indian land that is leased to energy companies.
BLM wrote the rules in an attempt to update its standards to account for fracking, in which drillers inject fluids at high pressure into wells to break rock formations and release more oil or gas. About 90 percent of the wells on federal land are fracked.
The standards focus on three areas: the integrity of well casing, disclosure of chemicals in fracking fluid and proper disposal of waste fluids.
The briefs filed late Friday are the opening volley in the court fight over the merits of the rule. The regulation is already on hold, thanks to a Wyoming court injunction issued in September.
In their own joint brief in the case, Wyoming, Colorado and Utah said the rule "exceeds the Bureau's statutory jurisdiction, conflicts with the Safe Drinking Water Act and the Energy Policy Act of 2005, and unlawfully interferes with state hydraulic fracturing regulations."
The Independent Petroleum Association of America and the Western Energy Alliance used their brief to attack the specific provisions of the rule, saying that BLM showed a clear misunderstanding of the oil and gas industry and didn't properly account for the costs of its standards.
"Ignoring comprehensive comments in the record detailing the technical and legal problems of earlier proposals, BLM has arbitrarily issued a rule that lacks justification, cannot be administered technically, exceeds the agency's regulatory authority, and violates federal law," the industry groups said.

A deli of delights
If heaven were a delicatessen, it would surely look - and smell - like Mary Giolitti and partner Kathy Briscuso-O'Brien's new food shop in Parole. Arrayed around the warm, mostly-wood interior is a broad range of foods, most, but not all, Italian. There are prepared foods - pasta and tomato paste, roasted peppers, candy, cookies and biscuits, and many kinds of olive oil. Then there are the deli items - prosciutto and mortadella, homemade salami, more than 70 kinds of cheese (including homemade mozzarella), 12 types of olives, homemade pasta and fresh-baked breads.
And then there are the items that will be prepared daily: roast chicken and roast potatoes (just like those served at Trattoria La Piccolo Roma, the restaurant Mary Giolitti and her husband Gino own in downtown Annapolis); pasta and sandwiches and salads (including one made of tiny mozzarella balls, sun-dried tomatoes, red onion and pine nuts that is to die for); breads and Mary Giolitti's special desserts (including the popular Giolitti torte, a cross between cheesecake, ice cream and Key lime pie).

3 Tips For Effective Meditation Practice
Kevin and I get all kinds of questions about
meditation and Mind-Body Training… so today I want
to answer a question that comes up a lot:
"How Do I Get The Most From My Practice?"
Kevin has been practicing and teaching meditation for
over 30 years. Here's the advice he gives to people who
want to get started meditating (or get back on track):
1. Set up your environment for success!
Find a good place to meditate. Define your meditation
environment in a quiet, secluded spot (as best you can).
Make sure you have a comfortable seat that is the right
height. I suggest sitting on the front edge of a chair
that puts your hips level with or slightly above your
knees with your feet firmly on the floor.
2. Schedule it!
Schedule meditation in your day-timer or activity
planner as you would any other important commitment.
I suggest first thing in the morning or last thing at night
as optimum times, but any consistent time will work.
3. Keep a journal!
This helps you track your progress and reminds you why
you're doing it. Looking back over your journal will
remind you of the work that you've done, track the
positive shifts that you've experienced, and make your
practice feel more substantial and worthwhile.
And above all, enjoy the journey!
Happy Practicing,
Matt Clarkson & Kevin Schoeninger
The Mind-Body Training Company
P.S. This breakthrough meditation technique creates radiant
health and wellness by balancing your three key energy centers.
Now you can eliminate stress and anxiety, heal your blocks
to success and enjoy a state of lasting emotional health and
well-being — without meditating for hours or forcing your
brain to do anything unnatural:

32-34 inch bust
This one is absolutely from the 1930s. The frilly girlishness, the hair-do and the eyebrows are all telling me so.
32-34 inch bust
This one is absolutely from the 1930s. The frilly girlishness, the hair-do and the eyebrows are all telling me so.
The pipe is an essential element in photographing men's knitwear. Again you might not have a 1930's man to knit for, but skip to the back page to drool over the other patterns you could have bought. This pattern also has this other jumper, as the instructions for "the Hoylake" are so brief. Behold "The Hurlingham", a 4 ply polo sweater.
This is Patons & Baldwins No. 923. It's made in 2 ply for a finished measurement of 34 inches around the bust.
Isn't this lovely! It's in the Tyrolean style, which I think of being the hippie look of the 30s and 40s as it referenced traditional styles worn in rural areas. It's for a
I've been sorting through my piles of patterns and ordering them by decade and have unearthed quite a few I bought on my holidays last year and forgot to post, hence the sudden flurry of posts. I've been trying to declutter using the Mari Kondo (or Konmari) method. You get to keep everything that gives you joy – all of my knitting patterns brought me joy, but once they are scanned and forever online, I don't need to the paper patterns. Expect to see a sale on eBay soon, where my seller name is embarrassingly what I choose aged 20 – pinkafairy2323 – *blushing but owning it*
This is a nice little 40's bolero pattern I found in a charity shop. Charity shop knitting pattern shopping is not easy. I might visit 6 or 7 before I find a single pattern and then you must always ask as for some reason they'll be kept in a folder in a back room. Mostly they have 80's patterns, but eventually a gem like this will be found. I spend my holidays scouring village charity shops, as inner city London has no knitting patterns at all in charity shops (these are also called Op Shops or Goodwill is you are abroad).
It's for a 36″ bust as worn open, but has a finished measurement of 34″.
34-36 inch bust
This one is from Listers of Bradford, who have the best strap line – "The nicest wools to use." Not shrink proof, soft or long lasting, just nice; the best understated British compliment. I'm dating it as thirties based on the price of 2D. All my single item patterns from the 1940's are 3D. It's also bigger than the wartime ones, which were smaller due to paper shortages. In the fifties patterns went into colour photography. The back cover designs also look more of the period than this one.
Getting a New Slant On Things – this diagonally-striped jumper is crocheted in a simple pattern. It's finished measurements are 35 inches across the bust, so it's for a 33-35 inch bust depending on how tight you'd like it.
This one is a little bit higgledy-piggledy, as it's a variety of pictures I took on my phone, rather than a proper scan. I wasn't going to let an out of order scanner stop me! It's Jumper Jill, my favourite model in Stitchcraft magazine in either 1932 or 1933.
This is was published in 1934. (I think my friend Theodora might have done the actual scanning, as we visited the British Library together – I recommend her blog for more than just free knitting patterns, she is also a designer and vintage knitwear model and an eloquent writer).
More after the jump.

I'm fairly sure this is from a 1935 issue of Weldon's Ladies Journal. It was scanned way way back in October 2015, so my memory is hazy and my notes leave a lot to be desired. The pattern is nice though. For a bust between 33-35 inches. It doesn't say what size of yarn to use.
This one may look familiar if you follow me on Instagram. I've knitted a similar jumper which was reprinted in A Stitch In Time Volume 2, but originally came from this magazine. This is the crochet version. It's a 32 to 34 inch bust, designed for a 2 ply cotton. I made mine from Rowan Mercised Cotton, which is now discontinued. It wasn't exactly the right yarn, as it came out quite a lot longer than intended. Since then the author of A Stitch In Time has released her own cotton yarn called Coquette. Incidentally I haven't been paid for the plug, but I have met Susan Crawford once and she's a very nice person.
Below left is Theodora modeling the book knitted version and on the right is my knitted version. The pattern via Ravelry for the knitted version which has been sized up for a varietyof sizes. Scroll down for the pattern for the crochet version.

Deb and I just got back from the beautiful island of Aruba where we celebrated our 25th. It was our first time there and we absolutely loved it. A perfect climate with a warm breeze acting as a natural fan made it very comfortable.
We rented a 4x4 and explored Arikok National Park's rugged coastline, bat caves and natural rock formations. We also ate at The Flying Fishbone and Madame Jeanettes, two phenomenal restaurants which I highly recommend if you plan to visit.

Small planet,
donroy and I went there on our honeymoon 10 years ago.
I knew immediately where you guys were before I even looked at the location.
Bat cave, which way is up???
Natural bridge, did they let you cross it or have they closed that off.
We own a timeshare at Paradise Beach Villas on the low-rise side of the island. Right on the beach.
Hope you guys went to the Hilton, that place is beautiful. Lest I forget the butterfly farm - one of the best experiences I have had with wild life.
I can't believe you have been married for 25 years.
God Bless you both - Seriously.

Recruitment job
Before you design your recruitment ad, it is important that you know your audience, address them in the language they understand and offer them what they are looking for. An effective job ad is not a mere job description. It is a carefully crafted message that aims at attracting the best qualified candidates for your job.
To create an ad of such quality, keep the following points in mind:
1) Create a catchy job title that specifically describes the role.
2) List down all the essential skills and qualifications required as per the job.
3)Do not exaggerate your job description. Keep it short, crisp and concise. Make sure it sounds realistic and not too over-the-board.
4) Offer challenges and not rewards. This is the best way of attracting ambitious and skilled persons, rather than those who are in it for the easy ride.
5) Lay down the details of your company, the complete background, and contact details.
6) Ask for a cover letter as this can provide useful clues about the character, education level, and communication style of the candidate and allow you to filter out unsuitable candidates prior to interview.
7) In your advertisement, talk to the reader and avoid phrases like the successful candidate or the ideal applicant since this will make even the most suitable candidate question whether they�re right for the role. Instead, say something along the lines of, In this exciting role you will be working with or Coming from a strong sales background, you will be expected to.
Yes, definitely. BOOKMYAD offers you complete freedom to choose multiple publications/newspapers and make payments accordingly. Consumers also have the alternative option of composing multiple ads for single or multiple publications. However, we do not recommend it as advertisements can be mixed with wrong publication also.

Monday, February 3
But the other day I saw that we had some broccoli sprouting (at last) and decided to make one of my favourite pasta dishes of the moment.
So get yourself out into the garden* and gather some broccoli.
*garden AKA supermarket
Now, I don't claim to make these dishes the 'proper' Italian way, this is my way of doing it and I'm sure a lot of Italian cooks will be shaking their heads going, 'no no no, not like that!" But, this is how I like it and I get no complaints from the hungry men in the garden that gobble it all up at lunchtime.
So..boil or steam your broccoli until it is tender, but not too mushy and then roughly chop it into smaller edible sized pieces.

Yummy I would say. Yes good idea to save some pasta water. And they always add the Pasta to the sauce.. :-) We would live this ..thanks for sharing. You certainly are blogging well...it s winter ..and as you say. NOT a lot happening. ..Have a great week. :-) ..xxxReplyDelete

Below are descriptions of eight of the areas where QVC employs talented people in broadcasting, plus a list of the state of the art equipment we use as we produce more "live" television than just about anyone.
Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, 364 days a year are live. Our digital facility, Studio Park, has over 37,000 square feet of studio space spread over 10 different studios. The entire broadcasting facility is over 160,000 square feet.
Our diverse team of broadcasting professionals utilizes their skills working on a variety of projects. It's something new and exciting every day. As the undisputed leader in electronic retailing, we combine the latest and greatest technology with an energized and entrepreneurial spirit. We innovate on a daily basis.
QVC is the virtual shopping mall that never closes. A place where customers can, and do, shop at any hour—at the rate of two customers per second. A broadcast operation that's brimming with state-of-the-art technology, cutting-edge ideas, and think-on-their feet people.
We offer nearly 1,700 products each week, and our sets need to be the perfect home for guests. The Broadcast Design group designs, builds, and props all sets, making sure everything looks perfect and our house set looks like a realistic home. This group also includes our in-house scene shop, which is a fully functional carpentry shop where most of our on-air sets are built by our Production Artisans. Set Dressers create, reproduce, and execute all established on-air scenic and prop looks that best support our product sells.
The quality and value of what we offer has to be seen to be believed. Therefore, superior lighting is essential on our sets. This group handles all aspects of lighting techniques—like special requests from on-air guests or producers and repairing problems that may arise during the live show. Lighting Engineers design, construct, test, and document new system installations. Lighting Directors provide artistic work direction and technical expertise to other lighting technicians. Lighting Assistants perform various duties to support the Lighting Directors and ever-evolving lighting design.
Only QVC offers the kind of environment where what you're working on every hour is different...and every minute, those results can be seen and heard by millions of people. Our Control Room team of Director/TD, Assistant Director, Graphics, Audio, and Camera Operators produces a wide variety of programming, from Fashion and Jewelry to Electronics, Cooking, and Housewares. Every show is live and several are produced in front of an audience. Be part of the team that constantly raises the production bar, while supporting sales.
The "QVC Local" crew takes our viewers on location, offering armchair journeys to exciting locales, compelling guests, and unique products. Using our own production fleet, our remote team travels the United States, and internationally, producing a wide variety of programming.
Positions include: Producer, Associate Producer, EFP Producer & Videographer, Unit Production Manager, Editor, Production Coordinator, Audio Technician, Lighting Director, and Fleet Driver..
With only 24 hours in a day, there's no time to expect less than the best from our Broadcast Engineers. They provide support for our live show and troubleshoot equipment and system problems. They also thrive on the challenge of maintaining the infrastructure of an entire broadcast system that never takes any breaks. Because quality is not just a word for our products, we're constantly giving our engineers the opportunity to upgrade their skills through internal and external training classes.
Chances are, you're not watching TV exactly the same way you were five years ago. (If you're watching it on something you built yourself, we definitely want to talk to you!). Technology is constantly changing, and we remain at the forefront of those changes, thanks to our Research & Development team. As they research equipment and systems, our Project Engineers plan and integrate most of these projects in-house. From servers to virtual sets to HDTV, they ensure we have the right equipment to keep expanding our business.
When the "On Air" light is on (which is, after all, 24 hours a day), strategy is in the hands of the Line Producers, the keys to proper execution of all sales strategies during the live show. Working with our Production and Product Planning groups, the Line Producers are responsible for managing every second of the live program in an effort to maximize sales.
On the studio floor, it's the Coordinating Producers who handle sales execution, working face to face with vendors and on-air guests, and coordinating product demonstrations with vendors to ensure they meet our standards.
Until our customers can hold our products in their hands and see how great they are, they need to see them in the best light. Our Product Display Stylists record product display shots used during the live show. Each stylist is responsible for the composition and quality of each shot. The Digital Imaging group captures digital images for use on QVC.com and other interactive projects.
Every show we do has a certain style and look, and that's no accident. The Talent department works to find appropriate on-air models who meet our brand and image. The Talent Resource Management department is responsible for scheduling the models used on air, in promos, and product demonstration tapes. The Fashion Coordinators provide direct supervision in all aspects of live production to the models. The Image department also manages the hair & makeup stylists and our in-house salon used by program hosts and guests.
We want our guests and vendors to feel as comfortable in our studio as customers feel watching QVC from their living rooms. As the meeting and communication hub for the live show, the Talent Service Center is the "heart" of the studio home. Talent Service Coordinators are the "go to" people, disseminating pertinent live show information to the appropriate broadcasting team members, and providing specific support to the guests and hosts from their time of arrival in the studio, through their informational prep and salon time, to the moment when they're microphoned and step on air.
As we try to produce the perfect picture of our products, our Floor Managers are the eyes and ears of the control room on the studio floor. Things must go smoothly to keep the focus where it should be: on our great products. They're in charge of the flow of production on the floor during the live show, which includes ensuring smooth transitions between stage positions and shows, coordinating camera movement and camera blocking, and participating in pre-production meetings to make sure production objectives are met. Studio Assistants support the hosts during the live show. They assist with production strategies on the studio floor, preparing product demonstrations and assisting the Floor Managers.
If we don't have it on hand, we don't put it in our customers' hands. Working with our four distribution centers—our on-site storage facility—Product Central ensures we have product samples that meet our standards. This group is responsible for inventory and supply chain management for studio production. Product Coordinators pull and prepare products for use on air.
Providing a rich and engaging content experience, this award-wining team of Writer Producers, Associate Producers, Videographers, and Editors is instrumental in creating content that delivers the creative vision across all platforms. From concept to completion, this collaborative team embodies creativity, and produces targeted and compelling content—including promos, product demos, episodic shows, and segments—to support TV programming and initiatives on web and social platforms. Working with state-of-the art equipment & creative ingenuity, the Production and Post-Production teams challenge themselves to define and create the right content for the right platform.
24 hours of live broadcasting a day gives our award-winning Graphic Designers countless opportunities to collaborate with other production personnel regarding video content and on-air graphics. Utilizing their diverse skills, they provide creative solutions through visual storytelling across multiple platforms; including TV, web, and social. Exhibiting their unique problem-solving abilities, they create a variety of content including 2-D and 3-D animations and other elements to support on-air promotions, themed events, remote broadcasts, and product demonstrations.

Log in to myLSU and complete the On-Campus Housing application under the "Student Services" menu.
myLSU>Student Services>On-Campus Housing
Beginning with the freshman class of 2018, all LSU first-year students are expected to live on campus. We now have space enough to meet demand, so every student can benefit from the proven benefits of on-campus housing. Students who live on campus consistently have higher GPAs, have a higher percentage of students that return to LSU for their second year (retention rate), have higher graduation rates, and have more opportunities to become part of the LSU community. Exemptions to the first-year housing expectation are available.
The online application requires $250 advance rent, $50 non-refundable application fee, and a $10 non-refundable processing fee to complete the housing application. If you register for housing, get a room assignment, and move into your room assignment, the $250 advance rent is applied toward your rent on your fee bill.
If you register for housing and later decide to cancel your housing application, the following staggered refund and fee policy will apply:
- Cancel your housing application on or before May 1 – $250 Refunded
- Cancel your housing application May 2-31– $125 Refunded
- Cancel your housing application in June – $0 Refunded
- Cancel your housing application in July – $0 Refund & $175 Cancellation Fee
- Cancellations received August 1 or later, including "No Shows," are subject to rent penalties and fees as outlined in the housing contract.
- View the housing contract, and cancellation refund & fee schedule for details.
- Use this form to cancel your housing.
*This refund schedule is only for new students and not continuing students participating in the renewal process.
Helpful Tips:
- Register for housing as soon as you're committed to LSU. Building and room assignments are based on the date of housing application (not the university application or enrollment deposit), so the earlier you register for housing, the better.
- First-year students do not need to register for housing in order to apply for a first-year housing expectation exemption. However, if a student receives an exemption after registering for housing, the student will be refunded the $250 advance rent amount but will forfeit the $50 application and $10 processing fees.
- An application fee deferment is available for students demonstrating financial need.
- Change of plans? Make sure to officially cancel your housing application with Residential Life, not just LSU Admissions.

Mike Hastings has a keen eye for talented hockey players. The Crookston native and head coach of the Minnesota State men's hockey team has had some good ones, too. In his first three seasons with the Mavericks, his teams have won one Western Collegiate Hockey Association regular-season championship and two conference playoff titles. They have also gone to three consecutive NCAA tournaments.
So what kinds of skills catch his eye when he's coaching and scouting?
"Can they skate?" he asks. "When a puck gets on their stick, do they make good decisions with it?"
But several other characteristics stand out to him, too. He also looks for "attitude and effort" and players who put team successes above individual achievements.
Here are the kinds of players, Hastings says, who make coaches stand up and take notice.
"Are they faster in certain areas—at being able to give a puck but also being in position to get it back? Are they involved the entire time that they're out there? Sometimes that might be waiting, waiting, and then hopping into an area to receive a pass. It's not just about working hard for the entire shift; it's about working hard and working smart."
"Do they finish what they start? It's fun to play offense. Do they play at one speed when they have the puck, and then do they play at a completely different speed when they don't? Do they go above and beyond? If they have some extra ice time, are they working on something? Are they doing things to work on their game?"
"I really enjoy seeing players work on their game when their coach isn't telling them, mom isn't telling them, dad isn't telling them—just for the love of getting better. Players know what they're good at, and those are things that most kids love to work on. But are they working on some things that they're not so good at?"
"I want to see interaction with teammates. I want to see interaction with the coach. I want to see if they are doing things that are conducive to positive energy, whether it's on the bench or on the ice. I watch our guys on a daily basis and how they act with their teammates when they get pushed. If it's an environment where things might be negative I'd rather see nothing—that it doesn't bother them and that they have some thick skin. Do they understand the game of hockey comes with failures, and do they learn from those failures?"
"Are they being good people? Are they working hard? Are they being a good example? Are they being productive as a teammate either by helping themselves or helping others? That could be picking up pucks, cleaning up in the lockerroom, leaving a place as well or better than when they found it. Are they contributing to the team getting better, or are they the one who slows everything down?"

Grand jury clears Niagara Falls officer in drug-raid shooting
LOCKPORT – Niagara Falls Police Officer Thomas Rodgers will not face charges for shooting a suspect during a Sept. 28 drug raid.
Niagara County District Attorney Caroline A. Wojtaszek announced Thursday that a county grand jury voted not to indict Rodgers.
The grand jury heard from 14 witnesses over two days earlier this month, she said. The Buffalo News learned the witnesses included Stacey M. Lewis, the man shot by Rodgers. Lewis pleaded guilty to two felonies without waiting for a grand jury to consider his own case.
"After listening to and asking questions of all the witnesses and reviewing all the evidence, the grand jury determined there is no legal basis to charge Thomas Rodgers with any crimes," Wojtaszek said.
"The proof is in the pudding, as we were confident it would be," said Thomas H. Burton, who is Rodgers' attorney. "The officer's conduct was lawful under New York's justification statute."
Rodgers had previously been cleared by an internal Niagara Falls Police Department investigation.
Lewis, 33, was shot once in the abdomen after police battered down a steel door while executing a search warrant at 488 20th St. Before entering, officers saw Lewis through a window as he ran upstairs with what appeared to be a rifle in his hands.
A later search of the house turned up a knock-off version of an AK-47 assault rifle in a second-floor bedroom and several bags of crack cocaine, totaling 4.67 ounces, throughout the house.
Police said Lewis didn't respond to demands to show his hands as he was partially concealed behind a wall. An open box cutter was found beside him after he was shot. Relatives of Lewis contended in interviews after the shooting that it was not justified.
"This guy is not exactly a candidate for Chamber of Commerce president," Burton said.
Lewis has been to state prison twice before on drug felonies. He pleaded guilty Dec. 6 to two more felonies, third-degree criminal possession of a weapon and attempted fourth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, in exchange for a promise of a sentence of no more than four years in prison.
Lewis' sentencing has been postponed twice by Niagara County Judge Matthew J. Murphy III. It is now scheduled for March 16.
Rodgers was the first officer to enter the house, Burton said.
"It takes a special person to go through a door after seeing a convicted felon with an assault rifle in his hands seconds before, and not shirk his duty. It doesn't get more extreme than that," Burton said.
Rodgers has been on paid administrative leave since the incident. Niagara Falls Police Superintendent E. Bryan DalPorto said that will change in view of the grand jury ruling.
"He'll go back on duty immediately," DalPorto said.
Lewis has filed a notice of claim against the city, threatening to file a lawsuit over the shooting.
Second Assistant District Attorney Mary Jean Bowman and Peter M. Wydysh, chief of the DA's Narcotics Bureau, presented the evidence to the grand jury, Wojtaszek said. She said besides the testimony, the grand jury saw 44 photographs, medical reports and other documents before voting not to indict Rodgers.

Grow Old With You
My grandparents are my couple-role-model. They've been married for almost 59 years and they are a picture of a simple, happy couple. My Lolo (Filipino for grandfather) once said, every night when he prays, he prays for my grandmother first, before everybody else. They're the best and I love them dearly.
This wedding invitation by SeeSaw Designs (http://seesawdesigns.blogspot.com/) reminds me of my grandparents.
This is indeed the cutest, most heart-warming wedding invitation I've ever seen. ;)
Graphics For Your Wedding Invitations
I found this invite in Erin Jang's site of design and illustration. Erin Jang is a NY-based graphic artist.
Can Your Bridesmaids Re-use Their Dresses?
This photo is from the wedding of Annemie and Mitch as featured in http://www.oncewed.com/. This photo has a cute history. :)
"The bridal party prepared for the big day at the Beauclair Guest House in Stellenbosch. One of the funniest moments getting ready was when the photographer asked the three bridesmaids to pose for a picture perching on the edge of the ball-and-claw bathtub - just as the girls got comfortable, the bath started tipping over, causing shouts of panic and lots of giggles!

What Makes A Wedding Intimate
One of the discussion threads we had in W@W asked us to define an intimate wedding. For an average Filipino family, having 200 guests IS intimate!
What makes a wedding intimate? Here's my take:
1. Primarily and technically, it's about the number of guests. A wedding with
50 guests (or even less!) is what you can call intimate. In our culture where we have huge
families, you can consider 100 guests intimate (read: impossible!).
2. The look and feel of the wedding. Having your wedding ceremony and
reception in a place where you commonly have family gatherings will give your
affair an intimate feel. This place can be your family's ancestral home or a
hotel or restaurant where your family would usually go for birthdays and
3. Lastly, for me, the intimacy of the wedding greatly depends on how closely
the couple can interact with their guests during the party.
For our wedding, we are skipping all pictorials. The more time you allocate
for pictorials, the less chance you get to entertain your guests. My brief for
my photographer: capture images of emotions and connections and people. I
don't want you art directing us the whole time. Just let things happen
naturally and let us enjoy our wedding and our guests.
We are also avoiding the big trend of having a grand entrance at the
reception and proceeding to the first dance. Instead, my fiancé and I, together with
our parents, will be at the entrance of the dinner hall to personally receive the
We won't have our own table at the reception - the one that separates the
couple from all the guests. I'm referring to the elevated table for the couple
that caterers/restaurants/hotels usually set-up.
What do you think?

A. Primary Plant Food Elements
Nitrogen Plants rapidly utilize these elements and unfertilized Phosphorus soils normally cannot provide them in quantities needed for Potassium (Potash) best plant growth.
Nitrogen (N)
1. Promotes rapid vegetative growth (leaf and stems) hastening recovery after mowing and imparting vigor to the turf.
2. A vital element in the formation and function of chlorophyll–the key ingredient imparting dark green color.
3. Synthesizes amino acids which in turn form protein.
4. Regulates the uptake of other nutrients.
5. Basic ingredient of vital compounds – Nucleic acid and enzymes.
Phosphorus (P)
1. Stimulates early root formation and growth–gets plants off to a good start and forms a root filter system in the soil to efficiently pick up the other available plant nutrients and water. Improves the strength and stamina of the plant.
2. Hastens maturity (conversion of starch to sugar).
3. Stimulates blooming and seed development.
4. Causes energy transformation and conversion processes in which sugars are converted to hormones, protein and energy to grow new leaves and fruit.
5. Forms nucleic acids (DNA and RNA).
6. Vital for photosynthesis (greening for plants).
7. Essential for cell division.
Potassium (K)
1. Aids in the development of stems and leaves.
2. Increases disease resistance and hardiness which helps wear ability.
3. Strengthens cell walls, causing grass to stand up and reduces lodging.
4. Affects water intake by plant cells–plants with inadequate potassium may wilt in the presence of ample moisture.
5. Acts as a catalyst in Iron uptake.
6. Essential to the formation and translocation of protein, starches, sugar and oil–improving the size and quality of fruit, grains and tubers.
B. Secondary Plant Food Elements
Calcium They are used in somewhat less quantities than the primary Magnesium elements, but they are just as essential for plant growth and Sulfur quality.
Calcium (Ca)
1. Calcium is an essential part of cell wall structure and must be present for the formation of new cells.
2. Deficiency of calcium causes weakened stemsand premature shedding of blossoms and buds.
Magnesium (Mg)
1. Essential for photosynthesis (greening of plant).
2. Activator for many plant enzymes required in growth process.
Sulfur (S)
1. A constituent of three amino acids and is therefore essential in the formation of protein.
2. Helps maintain green color in plants.
3. Improves alkaline soils.
4. Helps compacted soils–making them loose and allowing better water penetration. Sulfur Note–There are commonly two types of sulfur applied to plants and soils:
Sulfate Sulfur (SO4) Elemental Sulfur (S)
1. Sulfate Sulfur (SO4) is the form taken up for plant food. Many plants require as much sulfur as phosphate in their growth processes. Sulfate Sulfur (SO4) is contained in gypsum (CaSO4) and other sulfate fertilizers–Ammonium Sulfate, Ammonium Phosphate Sulfate and many turf fertilizers.
2. Gypsum (CaSO4) will help reclaim alkali soils and make them loose and friable. Alkali soils contain sodium which causes soil to disperse, puddle and seal up. The free calcium from gypsum will replace the sodium on the clay particle and allow the sodium to be leached out of the soil.
3. It also causes the small soil particles to flocculate (join together in small crumbs), leaving space between them for air and water movement.
C. Micro nutrients
Iron (Fe)
• Necessary for the formation of the chlorophyll
• Iron deficiencies are most common in wet, cold or high pH soils
• Aids in the activation of a number of biochemical processes within the plant
Zinc (Zn)
• Zinc is an essential component of several plant enzymes. It is a part of auxins and controls the synthesis of indoleacetic acid which regulates growth compounds.
• Zinc also affects the intake and efficient use of water by plants.
Manganese (Mn)
• Manganese serves as an activator for enzymes in plants. Without Manganese, the plants cannot use theiron which they have absorbed. It assists the iron in chlorophyll formation which causes yellowish turf to green up.
Copper (Cu)
• Important in the synthesis of certain plant growth substances
• Serves as an activator for several essential enzymes
• Needed only in small quantites; large amounts can be toxic to turfgrass plants
• Deficiencies are usually only found in highly alkaline (high pH) organic soils or heavily leeched soils
Chlorine (Cl)
• Although essential for proper plant function, only small quantities are required
• May help in the regulation of osmotic pressure within the plant cell
• Deficiency is rarely observed
Chlorophyll in the plant cell (causes turf to maintain a healthy green color). It serves as a catalyst for biological processes such as respiration, symbiotic fixation of nitrogen and photosynthesis.
Applications of iron can correct iron deficiency, but it may be temporary in high pH soils, due to tie up with calcium.
This may require acidification of the soil with elemental sulfur or the use of ammonium forms of nitrogen or some other acidification agents.
As ammonium converts to nitrate in the soil, it has an acidifying effect. This acidifying effect makes iron and many other elements more available in high pH soils.

Businesses need to ensure their IT infrastructure is sufficiently resilient to the latest cyber threats in order to safeguard sensitive customer and commercial data.
This is the warning of IT security researcher John Holcomb, who carried out a recent study into vulnerabilities within network attached storage (NAS) systems.
He was able to create a worm to exploit up to 30 separate vulnerabilities within existing NAS networks and he published his findings to highlight the considerable risks some firms could be facing if these issues are not addressed.
"Once these devices are exposed to the internet, it's pretty much game over because most vulnerabilities can be exploited using authentication bypass techniques or with no authentication at all," Mr Holcomb told the BBC.

Beyoncé fills an important role in the pop feminist movement today, serving as an entry point for deeper feminist issues. She is an inlet for younger men and women to consider the social inequalities that face today's youth. Embodying the spirit and empowerment of Miss Queen Bey, participants will dress as Beyoncé from any of her dynamic styles through the decades, and her music will be the exclusive soundtrack for the event.
The inaugural BEYONCÉ 5K is a co-ed event highlighting both modern pop feminism and sexual assault awareness. With these two stellar topics in mind we will be contributing profits to the local organization: the Ohio Alliance to End Sexual Violence, which seeks to end sexual assault and sexual violence in the state of Ohio and greater Columbus area

The Big Question: Why grow your own food?
Why grow your own food?
This question can only be answered with another question…
How much do you trust the food you buy from the market?
" The food you eat can be either the safest and most powerful form of medicine or the slowest form of poison." – Ann Wigmore
Today most food producers want to produce large quantities of food at a very cheap price. This has lead to the use of some wrong methods. The pesticides, fungicides and other harmful chemicals used are not safe for consumption. These chemicals usually end up on your plate. It's ironical to know that the same vegetable you eat to stay healthy is slowly killing you from inside!
Can you imagine feeding this to your loved ones… especially your kids?
That was the thought that made me start on this journey to grow my own food. The main reason for me to think about this was my 2-year-old son. He had started eating veggies at that time and loved eating carrots and beets.
Our whole health ( and so our wealth) depends on what we eat and it was time to take action.
A Small Start
I wanted to grow all kinds of veggies but had no clue where to start. Where to get the seeds? how to grow them? What can I grow here in my weather? …. It was very confusing at that point.
I knew that I needed to get started and then I will learn along the way. I did learn a lot along the way but it was not easy… gardening or farming is something you can learn only by doing. Watching few youtube videos or reading books will not help you much. Best way to learn to garden is by actually starting to garden. Get your hands dirty and you will get the fruits of your labor 🙂
The first thing I tried was growing herbs. If you are new to gardening this is a great way to start. Herbs are very easy to grow and most of them grow almost throughout the year. I was growing mint and basil.
Have you ever tried the freshest tasting chutney made from mint you grew?
The pasta sauce with fresh basil leaves was never more satisfying.
There is a pleasure … a sense of satisfaction eating something that you have grown!
The next I tried was Spinach and Red Amaranth. These are other easy veggies to grow. The best part was I did not have to wait for them to grow to full size. I used baby spinach leaves in my grilled cheese sandwich many times.
These small successes were great motivation to keep me going. You need to start with easy things first. Without this success, there is the possibility of you quitting too early.
Challenges of Growing in an Apartment
Trying to grow vegetables to consume on daily basis is not easy as it sounds. You will soon realize the limitation of growing in small space. You can only grow so much on your balcony (or if you are lucky then on your terrace)
The other challenge is plants take time to reach maturity which could be anywhere from 3-4 weeks to 2-3 months. This means you cannot plant once and hope to eat from your garden every day.
When I realized this it got me worried. But I thought there has to be a way … people must have done this before. So I came up with a two-pronged approach to solve this.
The first, was how do I maximize the limited space that I have to grow more plants. One way to do this was going vertical. The vertical garden is stacking plants one over other. This allows you to plant lot more in the same footprint ( This was also the inspiration for the name "Crop Stacks". Growing food in vertical stacks). There is a lot of information about this on the internet. (If you are not careful you can waste a lot of time researching without much action.
The second was how to grow the plants fast in a simple and safe way. I wanted to grow without using any harmful chemicals or genetic modifications. Growing plants fast seemed a bit challenging at first till I discovered Hydroponics. With hydroponics, you can grow a lettuce in about 35-40 days which in soil would have taken about 65-70 days. That is twice as fast!
Another benefit of using hydroponics is the ease of stacking. Hydroponics system is less bulky which makes it a good option for vertical setup.
Trials With Hydroponics
I was lucky to have a friend who likes hydroponics and one day he gave me this simple setup to try.
It was a hacked version of the ebb-flow hydroponic system. In this setup nutrient-rich water is in the lower compartment. You pump this water to the top compartment which has the plants. It fills the top compartment and drains back down by gravity. This process keeps the roots of the plants wet and moist and helps them grow.
I wanted to see if I can simplify it. The simpler option was something called "Deep Water Culture". It has plants suspend over a tank of nutrient water. No moving parts, pumps etc. The roots grow downwards as the plant grows and feed on the water. I built a quick and dirty version of this from a disposable plastic glass. This worked great.
For me, these two setups proved to be the first step to growing with hydroponics. Like before, simple steps, in the beginning, are a great way to learn and keep going. This simple setup proved that you can indeed grow without soil. So I started doing bigger experiments.
I built a desktop unit using styrofoam (thermacol). It had grow lights to grow indoors( looking back grow lights made it more complicated). This was not successful at first. Plus at the same time, I was having a tough time to get reliable seeds. This lead to trying to germinate and grow thousands of seeds. I must have killed thousands of young seedlings trying to grow them in hydroponics setup. But the trials did not stop.
Tried to tweak further till I figured what it takes to grow.
The confidence from these experiments helped me to try things at bigger scale.
And finally, it was possible to grow indoors using hydroponics. So far I was trying to be effective in growing using hydroponics. The challenge was trying to be efficient cost wise.
Though it is possible to grow indoors with the right technology. The cost of electricity for the lights and temperature control is very high for these setups.
Another challenge is grown using organic nutrients. You need to take extra care to avoid unwanted microbes growing in your system. These microbes if kept unchecked which will eat plant's nutrition.
I wanted this to be something I use to grow food on regular basis. I want you to adopt it to grow your own food. For this to be successful it had to work without too much effort and cost within reason. I am guessing you want it to be simple and efficient too.
So to grow your own food the best option for hydroponics is to use the light from the sun. I tried it with a simple setup.
This a deep water culture setup. It has the nutrient water in a plastic tray and plant roots are suspending from the top. It was a success.
Now I am planning a bigger setup. It is taking time but soon I will have it up on my balcony 🙂
Back to the Roots
I am still exploring and learning about how to best grow different plants. I don't want to claim that hydroponics is the only good option to grow your own food. Yes, you can grow many vegetables using hydroponics. But, I prefer to have more than one system. Only after testing them for few seasons I can make a valid decision.
So this leads me back to the roots… the traditional way of growing organic vegetables. I am talking about using organic/vermicompost and growing in containers.
Now you may be wondering…how is this efficient?
That is what I am trying to find now. The next step is setting up my balcony garden using Grow bags. I will be trying intercropping. It a way to grow different types of plants in-between each other to maximize the space.
Also, want to try to see if it is possible to use the efficiency of square foot gardening in this setup.
Some initial trials have been promising …
Now looking forward to what is possible next. If I want to make a difference in the way we grow and eat our food I have to think big.
The Big Goal for 2018
For the coming year, I am planning for something big.
I need a big motivation to keep going. Also, I want someone to hold me accountable for getting things done. So I am sharing this with you. I will keep posting my progress on this blog and you keep me accountable.
So what is my big goal…
"I want to grow what I eat "
I want to grow all the fresh vegetables that I buy from the market. Once setup I should be able to use the vegetables on my balcony almost every day. I will no longer have to buy from the market. I am going to start with the most common vegetables and herbs. This will include, coriander/cilantro, tomatoes and leafy greens and lettuces for salads. Then progress to other vegetables like Egg-plant or potatoes.
The best day would be when I am able to give fresh grown carrots and beets to my son and we recreate the picture above 🙂
Join me on this journey and see what it takes to grow your own food.

Makeup artist Jillian Dempsey created Kristen Stewart's beautiful, glowing look for the premiere of her new movie. She used all Chanel makeup and the result was super luxurious and amazing. Find out the step by step right here!
Kristen Stewart's Makeup At 'Clouds of Sils Maria' — New York Film Festival Premiere
Jillian told HollywoodLife.com: "For the look tonight, I was inspired by the new punk haircut along with the structured dress that Kristen was wearing. I opted for spiky, black lashes combined with dark, intense eyebrows and a neutral lip color."
Kristen Stewart For Chanel — Stunning Makeup Look
Here's how to get the look by Jillian:
"Foundation: First, I applied CHANEL Perfection Lumière Long-Wear Flawless Fluid Sunscreen Makeup SPF 15 in 40 Beige and used CHANEL Lift Lumière Smoothing and Rejuvenating Eye Contour and Concealer under her eyes. I finished with CHANEL Les Beiges Healthy Glow Sheer Color Powder in No. 20 to give her skin a warm, fresh tone.
Blush: Le Blush Crème de Chanel in Cheeky was used on her cheeks and for contour I used the middle shade of CHANEL Limited Edition Les Beiges Healthy Glow Multi-Colour SPF 15 in No. 01.
Eyes: I started by applying CHANEL Professional Eye Shadow Base in Beige and then used the pale pink shade in CHANEL Quadra Eye Shadow in Tissé Vénitien to lighten her lids. I followed this with a layer of the dark, charcoal shade from the same palette. To open up Kristen's eyes, I used CHANEL Intense Eye Pencil in Clair on her lower water line. For the inner corner and lower lash line of her eye, I used a touch of CHANEL Illusion D'Ombre Long Wear Luminous Eye Shadow in Mirage.
Mascara: I wanted to give her big, spiky lashes for the night, so I decided to apply several coats of CHANEL Inimitable Mascara in Noir.
Eyebrows: CHANEL Crayon Sourcils Sculpting Eyebrow Pencil in Brun Cendré was used to darken and accentuate her eyebrows.
Lips: To complete the look I used CHANEL Limited Edition Rouge Coco Shine Hydrating Sheer Lipshine in Gourmandise, to give her lips a glossy, peach tone."
Do you love Kristen's look, HollywoodLifers?

Ergonomics today.
From small to lager.
We created a special back strap system to make sure that the Scout
fits during the whole preschool time. It can be adjusted to every child's back
and grows with the child. The clever thing: In the first few years, the
strain on the back is relieved by the hip belt. Later the hip belt becomes
a belly belt and helps to fixate the Scout close to the back; but it can
also be removed completely.
And it fits.
Every child's back is different. And all of them need a comfortable schoolbag.
Together with Human Solutions, a company from Kaiserslautern in Germany
spcialised in bodyscanning etc., we found out how the perfect back of a
schoolbag has to be: gently shaped, with air-flow channels and made out of 3D
mesh material which is comfortable to wear.
Stays where it belongs.
A schoolbag has to be comfortable – no matter how long the way to
school or how hurried we are. This is why Scout created the perfect
straps: padded with breathable mesh, in an ergonomic S-shape in an ideal
width of 5 cm. Chest belts help to hold the shoulder straps in place, especially
for kids with narrow shoulders. And there are two additonal straps which
guarantee a perfect fit in the shoulder area.

Minneapolis, Minn. — Children's Defense Fund-Minnesota Executive Director Bharti Wahi says "the passage of the Trump-Ryan American Health Care Act is shameful and jeopardizes the health and well-being of all Americans, including millions of children and vulnerable adults.
"It is irresponsible and inhumane to vote on a bill that hasn't been vetted and threatens to strip families of affordable, quality coverage, including by destroying access to Medicaid and allowing discrimination against those individuals with pre-existing conditions.
"The actions of members of Congress today who supported this bill, including Minnesota Representatives Lewis, Emmer, and Paulsen, stand to hurt children and families. We call on the U.S. Senate to put a stop to it. We should only move forward with health care reform, not backward."

From talking with clients, I have found there are two very different views on mantras. One is that they are very personal, and almost secret, and the other is shouting it from the roof tops. Whichever team you are on, it is agreed that mantras are extremely beneficial.
Our thoughts control our feelings.
So telling yourself all day something negative is going to make you feel terrible and rob you of energy and happiness. We've all done it, crying saying the same thing over and over. I always think about Dane Cook crying…
On the flip side, saying something positive to yourself will lift your spirits, turn your mood around, and create confidence.
Keep it simple, use a mantra today, if you are stuck for ideas try "I am enough"
I would love to hear from you, post a comment below!

On Friday, May 19th, Clemson indie rockers Daddy's Beemer premiered their debut self-titled EP via GoldFlakePaint in the UK. I'll preface this review by saying I wouldn't be surprised if Daddy's Beemer is able to garner attention well outside the South Carolina state lines in the next few years. They've got a great vibe, the production is on point, and their lyrics run deeper than most other bands with pop sensibilities. I also really dig their Instagram strategy, where they and their friends pose with random Beemers. The band has been playing shows all around the state, and even a show or two in Savannah. Daddy's Beemer has a fun sound and their live performance brings newfound energy to songs that are already plenty active.
It started with the release of the band's first single "Penthesilea" back in December 2016, which has now become the closing track on the Daddy's Beemer EP. Then in February they released the second single "Rain Dance", along with a music video. When I saw the video I was officially on board the Daddy's Beemer train, and went out to see them play a couple times at Makeout Reef. The live shows combined with their "Numb" live session with Scene SC served to build up some serious personal anticipation to hear the rest of this album, and they certainly did not disappoint.
The EP starts out with "TV Lied to Me", an upbeat and catchy track that sets the tone for the rest of the album with a feeling that you might be going insane but you're gonna hang on a little longer and turn the music up louder and see where it takes you. This feeling carries right along through the EP, hitting a peak with "Laced", the longest and perhaps the strongest track on the album that starts out slow and builds into that energy we've grown to expect from Daddy's Beemer, exploring the album's youthful themes of love, drugs, and friendship along the way.
You can catch Daddy's Beemer in Charleston on Friday, June 16th at the new Redux Art Center (1056 King Street). They will be joined by local friends Mr. Rosewater, who also just released their debut EP. Doors open at 7:30pm, music at 8. Tickets are $5 at the door. Stream the self-titled debut EP Daddy's Beemer via Spotify below, and don't miss out on that upcoming Redux show.
