Chapter Four: Austin
Every time I write a new chapter I sit in bed and watch Matty read it so that I can see his face and make notes. This one made him laugh, which is always my most important test. It also made him kiss me. He told me that he thinks the fact that I'm writing our story is making us fall more in love, another twist we didn't see coming. I'm so thankful that you're enjoying the story so far - there are far more juicy bits to come :)
We're hopping around Austin this weekend, enjoying a much needed staycation. Follow along on Instagram and Twitter as we eat, swim, and sleep our way through this beautiful town!
I pulled into the airport in a clean car feeling grateful and accomplished, in a very weird way. There was radio silence on my phone while Matty was in the air which added to my nerves, but time was moving quickly and excitement was fighting to take over.
I wasn't really sure where to go or what to do when I got arrived to pick up the guy I'd gotten to know through a computer screen, but I figured parking and going inside would be better than just pulling up. If I'm honest, all I wanted to do was run up and kiss him, but first I needed to put a physical presence to this...thing. I wanted to hold the thing in my hands that had been floating in the air all around me for three months.
I sat on a bench outside the terminal and called him to tell him where I was, keeping my eyes fixed on the revolving door. He answered and my heart lept into my throat. He was off the plane, every moment making his way closer to me. Straining to see him walk through the door, I felt something next to me on the bench. I turned, and there he was. He had walked out the door behind me and spotted me right away - looking for him in the opposite direction.
Finally, in that moment, I stopped thinking. I felt my arms wrap around his neck and my voice say, "Hiiiiiii," and I just went with it, thanking the good Lord that my immediate reaction was not awkward.
"I can't believe you're here. I can't believe this is you - you're real!" Words just fell out of my mouth unchained.
He didn't mind it. He just laughed when I asked him if he was hungry then said it didn't matter if he wasn't, because brunch was the first stop on our itinerary and I was the ultimate planner.
In the car, I was aware of everything: The music that was playing, my ability to drive a vehicle properly, keeping good posture and not doing the weird laugh that gave me a triple chin from the side. And I was aware of him. Finally with me in Texas, in a twist I never saw coming.
When I heard that I got the job in Austin, it occurred to me that perhaps some new things would begin to fall into place. I thought that maybe I'd meet someone, start dating again, get married. Without putting a finger on it, I really do believe that I knew it was coming. But I never would have guessed that it would follow me from New York.
We went to brunch and it wasn't until he asked why there wasn't bacon on the menu that I realized I'd brought him to a vegetarian restaurant. We managed to enjoy our meal anyway. I caught him staring at me before we ordered. And after we ordered. And when we ate. He just looked at me, unapologetically, without hiding it.
"I hope you don't mind that I keep staring at you. I just can't believe I'm here with you right now."
It was the sort of confidence that I was still getting used to, and I couldn't get enough of it. We only had a few days together and every moment counted. I was thrilled that he didn't have to wait a few hours (or for a few drinks) to start hinting at the fact that he was in Austin for me and me alone.
That night we met up with Sadie and Gerry, my married friends who'd agreed to host Matty. I'd gone back and forth trying to decide where to eat and what to do that night, but Sadie is very good at decisions and we landed at a fancy Mexican restaurant downtown. Matty and I were still trying to sort out how to act around each other, let alone how to act around each other with people around. Eventually, he took my hand as we were walking. After spending the whole day inches apart without touching, I felt relieved. Sadie, ever observant, told me later that she felt the same way. ("Finally.")
We made our way through small plates, a few drinks, and lots of guacamole, and things started to ease into place. We didn't know it then, but Gerry would one day be one of Matty's closest friends in Austin. Sadie and Gerry had survived long-distance and I saw them as a beacon of (brutally honest and very much appreciated) hope.
As we made our way over to Midnight Cowboy, a tiny speakeasy bar with a reservation and a password required to get in, I was totally done for. Matty was with me, he was handsome, we were walking downtown, I was filled with guacamole, and every since he held my hand I hadn't let go. I was completely smitten. We ordered our drinks and watched our personal bartender create old fashions on the bar cart at our table. We held hands under the table. I sipped on my drink. We held hands. Everyone was laughing. He got up to use the restroom. I sipped my drink. I missed him. I also had to pee. I got up to use the restroom. It was occupied so I waited by the door. He walked out. I stopped him. I kissed him. Just. Like. That.
Instant. A reflex, really. I just kissed him. Outside a bathroom, no less. It wasn't "intense" by any means, but it was the first. And I laid it on him. I didn't mean to and I absolutely had not planned it. I would have felt bad, if he hadn't of gone completely wild for me after the fact. We'd broken the ice and now all those feelings and inklings we'd had over Skype - that perhaps this person is someone I am really, really into - were free to live without hesitation.
I decided that I needed to stay at Sadie and Gerry's that night, as well. For important reasons, like the fact that I couldn't leave this guy for one second. We took a train back to their place and I suddenly started worrying that Matty would think I was a floozy or that I'd taken away his right to give the first kiss. I figured best to cover my bases, so I leaned over and said to him, "Hey, let's not take this too fast, okay?" as I mentally pat myself on the back.
Turns out that's not the thing to say if you want a guy to feel confident about how you feel about him.
The next morning we decided to start the day at a coffee shop on the river and I could tell something was different. He was quiet and nervous, unlike the day before. I thought he wanted to make it official, but I could also tell he felt awkward and unsure. Despite the fact that I'd just had one of the most fun nights of my life, I started to get a little nervous, too. What were we stepping into? Were we ready to withstand something that had no promise to survive? I knew in my gut that I wouldn't be moving back to New York, so that meant only one thing for Matty. I wasn't sure I could ask him to do that for me; really, I wasn't sure if he would.
When decisions get overwhelming, it's normally because I'm looking too far down the line. Like, wondering if this guy that I spent 24 hours with would move across states for me. So I peddled it back. Someone once told me that deciding on our next step requires the faith to know that when our foot lands, the stone will appear underneath. It's an image that's stayed with me for years and I knew that if I had the faith to take the step, the stone would be there. I was wild for this man, and every earthly thing that might keep us apart could try, but in that moment I just wanted him to be mine. And so when finally he looked up at me over his coffee and asked me if I wanted to be his girlfriend, I said yes. Because I did.
"I have a boyfriend."
"I have a girlfriend."
"This is so crazy!"
Riveting conversation followed. The words felt strange on our lips as we chewed them over, laughing and coming to terms with the depths of what we'd just entered into.
The ice we'd broken the night before seemed to have glazed over since I definitely didn't feel free reign to kiss him again. He'd just become my boyfriend and I wanted my rights, but I waited. I knew the next one should be on his terms - anxious and annoyed as I was.
I took him to the capitol building to check off the culture piece of his trip, but no painting of Davy Crockett could distract me from the fact that he hadn't kissed me yet. We walked through every nook of that beautiful building and I envisioned him grabbing me in the vacant spaces the whole way through, to the point that I became rather mopey when he didn't.
He could tell something was up (perhaps because I started walking ahead of him...), but I don't think he knew why. I couldn't tell him because I had yet to learn that communication is an important part of a relationship in our 2 hours of dating. Eventually, I think he got the hint because he suggested we walk around the grounds. He led me further and further from people and closer to a huge tree with deep roots and a billowed canopy. And that is where he gave me a kiss. It was perfect.
The days went by in a blur after that. We hiked to lookouts (and kissed), we saw a movie (and I don't remember the end because we kissed), we ate way too much (and kissed even besides the uncomfortable bloating), and we fell more and more for each other. I finally made him that meal I promised when he helped me move 3 months ago, and his genuine surprise and delight at my cooking was the beyond the compliment I'd hoped for. We shared cheap bottles of wine and went out for pizza at midnight on a Sunday. That night we decided not to sleep because he was leaving the next day and time was a cruel bandit.
On Monday we managed to fit in one more lunch before I had to take him to the airport. It was our first taste of goodbye, and I had a feeling it was only going to get harder from there. I woke up after a few hours sleep with a knot in the pit of my stomach, anxious with the slipping time. After over 10 years of living away from my family, I'd developed a sort of coping mechanism with goodbyes. It mostly went like this: hugs were long, words were fast, and no crying allowed on my part. It only made it harder for the other person.
I went into Monday ready to rip off the bandaid as usual. I kept it light and happy as we ate, and tried not to say anything too depressing on the way to the airport. We weren't sure when we'd see each other next, but we figured it would be in New York, and much sooner than three months. I told him goodbye, we kissed, and then he left. Then it started raining. I drove straight to my apartment and ate all the leftovers in the fridge to deal with it, the final secret stage of my coping mechanism.
I was texting him all along, trying the keep the perfect balance of sad yet hopeful, not aware that he was actually a bit perplexed as to why I wasn't more upset. Matty wanted a full on breakdown out of me; in his mind, I basically pat him on the back and let him go on his way while I happily went on with my life.
Little did he know, I was stuffing a blueberry muffin in my mouth without pausing for breath and Googling more advice for long-distance relationships, all the while desperately wanting to kiss him again. A total and complete mess of a person who managed to come off as sane through text messages.
I decided to come to New York as soon as I could purchase a ticket and get off work, which looked like November. We had two months ahead of us, our first foray into long-distance as a real, Instagram-official couple.
It was on.

So, I spent some time this afternoon trying to make a video of how I do these macro shots on my dining room table. The video's looked pretty good, but had no sound. So, since I know nothing about video...I guess it was a lost cause.
Anyway, I did come away with a few shots that I can use here as an example of how I can create different images by adjusting the lighting.
I am using a small, LED, video light to light most of my macro images. Sometimes I hold the light in place and snap the photo and other times I place the camera in manual mode with a shutter speed of a few seconds and paint the light where I want it to be. Moving the light and altering the angle of the light greatly effects the final image.
Let's take the below images as examples.
In the above image, I am simply holding the light in my hand, off to the left of camera. You can actually see the reflection of the light in my "water drop", which is actually Karo Syrup.
Now, in this image I have set a longer shutter speed and tried to backlight the front petals while quickly hitting the front side of the flower with the light to show a little detail there, too. Essentially, painting with the light...like I mentioned before.
Both of these images are the exact same composition. They were both shot at F/16 and ISO 100 with the later having a longer shutter speed allowing me to paint the light on,
You can see what a dramatic difference moving the lighting has created.
While I really like the backlit image above, I really think this backlighting works out fantastic for images you plan to create as black & white. In the image below I have used Nik's Silver Efex Pro 2 and converted it to black & white.
Again, same composition and settings, this one was just converted to black & white. Maybe I will have time to try this video thing again in the near future for you to see the process. I may have to consult with a professional, though.

New Construction
Being able to customize a home to your personal preferences or needs is one of the many reasons buying a home has so much appeal. Your home is a reflection of your values, your needs, your passions and your tastes so why not make your home a true representation of who you are? From the ceiling to the floor, from the back door to the front door, every addition, appliance, enhancement or decoration can be yours to choose when you buy a newly constructed home.
Building materials have improved greatly over the years and new homes don't require expensive and time-consuming improvements often associated with older homes. Since home repair projects are not the specialty of every homebuyer, new homes offer them the security that their home is often better constructed and allows them additional free time to actually enjoy their new home rather than spending so many weekends and extra spare time on maintenance projects. With the excellent and longer-term warranties offered for newly constructed homes, you won't have to worry about most of the issues that might go wrong with your new home.
Environmentally Friendly
Most new homes are now being built with greater emphasis on energy efficiency and in turn are more environmentally friendly than resale homes. New materials in construction and "green design" initiatives available in newly constructed homes can reduce utility bills that offset their price and help save more money over time. Not only are you investing in the future of your home, but the future of your entire environment when you purchase or build a new home with these great features.
Community Lifestyle Amenities
The opportunity to buy a new home has never been better than in today's Rockford, Loves Park, Machesney Park, Rockton, Roscoe and Boone County's real estate markets. Our area has grown tremendously in recent years and home builders are meeting the demands of new residents by constructing a variety of homes in great new communities. Large lots are also available and are perfect for building your own home to your exact specifications, too. For all of your Rockford, Loves Park, Machesney Park, Rockton, Roscoe or Boone County new home needs, contact Terri Johnson!

I was put onto Black Salve by a naturopath in New Zealand.
I have been working outside in the sun for almost 30 years and I've had literally hundreds of skin cancers. To get one examined, biopsied and removed in Sydney costs around $1500 altogether. There is no way I would have been able to afford to get this many skin cancers treated professionally and if they had cut them out I would have no arms left by now.
This salve has saved my life.
But just because it works well for me doesn't mean someone else might not have an adverse reaction and for this reason I have to say "Use at your own risk."
I heard a story about a woman putting it on her face and half her nose dissolved away.
The only thing I can say about that is that half her nose must have been skin cancer.
This salve only acts on skin cancer and for this reason it is a biopsy as
well as a treatment.
Biopsies cost around $500 ($118 for the consultation $160 for the biopsy and then
you have to pay pathology for the results) so even if you have no reaction you've
saved $500 and you don't have to get cut (twice). Once for the biopsy and again to
have it removed.

Curing Lifestyle Induced Insomnia
The college lifestyle is one of fun, excitement, and unfortunately, stress. Maintaining a regular bed time can be extremely difficult when all nighters and crazy parties take jabs at your internal clock. Here's two great pieces of software to help you fall asleep at night.
F.Lux is a free application that runs in the background on your PC or Mac which changes the color temperature of your display in relation to the time of day and type of lighting in the room you are working in. The theory behind altering your display's color temperature is the fact that a bright computer screen late at night simulates the sun and engages your nervous system. The developer's site lists some journal articles which explain the theory,"…we surmise that the effect of color temperature is greater than that of illuminance in an ordinary residential bedroom or similar environment where a lowering of physiological activity is desirable." At night the orangey tone can be a little annoying, but F.lux definitely helps if you are intent on using your computer later at night. (Thanks to Tynan for bringing this piece of software to my attention. Check out his website, he's easily one of the most interesting people on the internet.)
Pzizz is an application which generates unique audio tracks to help you fall asleep. It uses a combination of Neural Linguistic Programing (NLP) and Binaural Beats to comfortably ease you into sleep. Pzizz is available on the PC, Mac and iOS operating systems. You have the option of purchasing two different "modules", the Energizer module intended for short power naps and the Sleep module for falling asleep at night. From my experience both modules are fantastic and let you tinker with a large number settings (length, volume, type of sounds) to produce the perfect insomnia busting soundtrack. If you are having troubles falling asleep, Pzizz is the perfect drug free solution. Students are eligible for a 75% discount, knocking the price per desktop module to $10. The iOS editions are priced accordingly with a "lite" option for those who are skeptical.
If it's 3:00 AM and your laying awake, give F.Lux and Pzizz a try. You may actually make it to your early morning class for once.

Acrylic Challenge!
Good afternoon everyone! How is everyone's Sunday going? It is a warm, blustery day here. When I say blustery, I should say, 70mph (at least) gusts blustery! One thing about Colorado, it is windy in the spring! :D The cool thing is, our trees can handle it. Now, I grew up in Iowa,and if we had winds like this, there would be no power because all of the trees would have knocked the power lines down! On days like this, you just stay inside and listen to (what sounds like) the siding of your house getting ripped off! Haha. The sun is shining though so my house is staying very warm! Anyway, this week on Splitcoast we were given a "Ways to Use it" challenge where we had to use something acrylic on our cards. I was stumped on this one because I thought I had nothing. Believe it or not, I soon discovered that the tops to my build-a-brads were acrylic and I had some clear stamps that I mount on an acrylic block. I decided to use both! I think I mentioned earlier that I have been trying to use up a lot of my old paper. I have TONS of dp and other paper that I need to weed through so I figured, instead of throwing it away, use it! On this card I used LOTS of old paper. I wanted to use this crazy textured cardstock I had so I decided to cut a circle out of it because it looked like water and use my cute fishy from the Very Punny set and I covered him with crystal effects. I used my build-a-brad tops to look like bubbles and I put them over the U 2 sentiment (The U and 2 are my clear stamps.). This wavy lined dp reminded me a lot of seaweed so there you have it, an ocean based card. I did use some old olive and whisper white cardstock along with my punches that are SU!. Other than that, nothing is SU! DON'T TELL! :D I am not sure what to think of this card yet. It's fun, but it's a little odd for what I am used to! Haha. Thanks for stopping by!
Stamps: Very Punny, some clear letter & number stamps (Hobby Lobby)
Paper: K-I Memories dp and cardstock, Crazy Wavy paper (not sure on company), Old Olive, Whisper White
Ink: Black StazOn
Accessories: SU! Markers, Punches, Ribbon, Crystal Effects, Brads, Build-a-brads, Coluzzle, Dimensionals

This morning at 11:00, the Senate will debate President Obama's nomination of Caitlin Halligan to the D.C. Circuit. A cloture vote is scheduled for noon. It will take three-fifths of the full Senate to break a conservative filibuster on the nomination. In reporting Halligan's nomination to the full Senate, the Judiciary Committee divided 10-8 on party lines.
In the weeks since rumors circulated that Senator Reid would push for a vote, Halligan's proponents and opponents have voiced their opinions on the nomination. Here's a sample:
- Sen. Leahy, Halligan A Superbly Qualified Nominee Worthy Of Bipartisan Senate Support (Dec. 5, 2011) ("With an impressive record in private practice and public service, she is widely respected for the quality of her work as an advocate.").
- Ian Millhiser, Will The Senate GOP Continue Its War On Excellence Tomorrow?, Think Progress (Dec. 5, 2011) ("There is no argument against confirming Caitlin Halligan — beyond a purely partisan desire to keep excellent Obama-nominated judges off the courts entirely, that is.").
- Media Matters, Myths And Falsehoods About Judicial Nominee Caitlin Halligan (Dec. 2, 2011) ("Twenty-three people who served as Supreme Court clerks at the same time as Halligan wrote a letter in support of her nomination to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.").
- Washington Post Editorial Board, Senate should confirm Caitlin Halligan to the D.C. Circuit Court (Nov. 22, 2011) ("The [New York Bar Association] report episode is odd but should not disqualify Ms. Halligan, given the mountain of evidence that she is a smart and well-qualified candidate.").
- Carl Tobias, The Urgent Need to Fill The Current D.C. Circuit Vacancies (Nov. 14, 2011) ("The quantity, complexity and importance of the D.C. Circuit's appeals mean that the court requires all eleven judgeships to be filled.").
- Family Research Council, Caitlin Halligan: D.C. Circuit Breaker (Dec. 6, 2011) ("Like so many others, Halligan is an attractive candidate to the Left because she brings to the table an extensive resume of radicalism.").
- Ed Whelan, Cloture Vote on Halligan Nomination, National Review Online (Dec. 2, 2011) (inventory of nine posts)
- Jack Park, Caitlin Halligan Need Not Apply, American Spectator (Nov. 16, 2011) ("Halligan supported New York's efforts to hold the manufacturers of handguns liable for criminal acts committed with handguns.").
- Republican National Lawyers Association, Halligan Not a Good Choice for D.C. Circuit (Nov. 2, 2011) ("Lack of candor, contradictory remarks and the lack of a need for another judge on the D.C. Circuit are reasons the RNLA is opposing the nomination of Caitlin Halligan.").
See also:
- Judiciary Committee Hearing Transcript
- Robyn Hagan Cain, Top Five Things to Know About Judicial Nominee Caitlin Halligan, The FindLaw D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals News and Information Blog (Nov. 18, 2011) ("Halligan has endured the second-longest nomination term among the current nominees for federal Circuit Court of Appeals seats.").

No fireworks for us. Bummer! There are too many fires here, so most of the Black Hills area canceled their shows. Perhaps hubby and I will grill out and watch fireworks on YouTube.

This post contains gifted items. All photos and opinions are completely my own.
Hi! I've got a special post for you guys today.
The kind folks at Soaprise.me generously gifted me one of their fantastic bathroom hampers to test out. Soaprise.me is run by just five employees(!) who craft some of the most unique handmade soaps and bath bombs I've ever seen. They stock a lot of SLS-free stuff and they strive to use only animal-friendly, eco-friendly and natural ingredients. A brand I can get behind.
Candy Apple Margarita Fizzy Bath Bomb | Cola Cubes Fizzy Bath Bomb (out of stock, unfortunately!)
Clockwise: Lavender & Rosemary Solid Shampoo Bar | Vanilla Olive Oil Artisan Soap Slice | Retro Bath Bomb (low stock!) | Pink Bath Heart (the one I have isn't on the website at the moment, but these two are very similar!)
First product I tried out was the Lavender & Rosemary shampoo bar. I tried a shampoo bar from Lush a long time ago and I liked it because it thoroughly cleaned my hair of all the hairspray I used to cake on (back when I had a full fringe, shudder) so I had high hopes for this.
This shampoo bar includes one of my favourite scents of all time - lavender. It's relaxing and helps me drift off when I need to, but I also find it refreshing and clean. We grow lavender in the garden so when it dries it at the end of summer, I bag it up and keep it in my wardrobe to keep my clothes smelling nice. I also love dropping lavender oil into the bath.
This shampoo bar did everything I expected it would - lathered really well, cleansed my scalp, and smelled amazing. It rinsed out lovely too. I've been using it once a week in between by usual shampoo.
While trialling the shampoo bar, I also tested the Vanilla & Olive Oil soap. This little slice has an earthy, almond-y smell with a kick of sweet vanilla. It's so, so moisturising especially when applied straight to the skin (instead of a sponge or a shower scrunchie). It's so silky and luxe.
|The pretty pink Bath Heart
Next up was the Bath Heart. This was on the website when I checked a week or two ago but now I can't find it. It smelled of vanilla and wild berries so I'd suggest this product if you want to experience a similar scent.
This product was legit beautiful. The smell was seriously 💗. It fizzed away in the water and turned the bath a bright shade of Barbie pink. The smell made the entire top floor of the house smell so good for hours afterwards.
|The punchy Candy Apple Margarita
Next was the Candy Apple Margarita Fizzy Bath Bomb. This smelled, as you can expect, pretty spectacular. It's got that classic fresh apple scent with added tartness. I plopped it in and watched it turn the water a lucid lime green while the red glitter bobbed around on the surface. Not my favourite of bath colours, admittedly, but its scent cancelled out its appearance.
Like the heart, this one made the house smell amazing afterwards. It also lingered on my skin which I love.
Next I tried the Retro bath bomb which smelled incredible and looked pretty awesome swirling around in the water - no pics unfortunately, my camera sort of... gave up on life. The smell was probably my favourite out of all the products I tried. It was fruity and fragrant and very luxurious like an expensive perfume. Loved it.
And last but not least was the Cola Cubes Fizzy Bath Bomb. Now, I don't like cola and I really don't like the smell of cola, but this bath bomb doesn't have an overpowering cola scent (otherwise it'd probably be like having a bath in fizzy pop and I don't think anyone wants that). This bath bomb has a refreshing fruity smell to it (that'll be the lemon and lime) and a hint of spicy cinnamon.
Unfortunately this bath bomb has sold out on the website, but I'm sure in time it'll come back in stock. Looks like it was really popular, and for good reason too. Like the Candy Apple bath bomb, the scent of this lingered on my skin for ages.
So, I pretty much loved everything in my Soaprise.me hamper. If you want bath products that are, 1) beautifully and richly scented, 2) cheaper than Lush (no offence Lush), and 3) has a little bit of pizazz (glitter, petals, and sweets are common bath product additions), then I would highly recommend paying their website a visit.
If you want to get your hands on your own luxury bathroom hamper, click here - you can put your own hamper together or buy a pre-made one, whichever you fancy. You can even order a Monthly Soaprise which is basically a bath bomb subscription service. Perfect.
Thanks for reading!

Beyond Foam-Dome
I am just going to come out and say it. I don't like foam. Foam cups, that is.
To me, seamless molded foam cups give all women the same rounded shape. Not only is it boring but it is unrealistic and not a good look for everyone. In defense of manufacturers, it is much easier to fit a wider variety of breast shapes using foam cups. Any fit issues with the cup of the bra are disguised under the "foam dome", as I call it, making it easier to sell more bras to a wider variety of shapes.
Foam is a relatively recent phenomenon in the history of bras. It started in the early 60s with advances in knit fabric fabric technology. It was not long before the process to produce seamless molded foam cups was perfected in the mid-1970s. Seamless molded foam cups came at a time when women wanted a smooth look under the fitted knit clothing of the time.
I have never really liked the "foam dome", I prefer the lightness and beauty of bras made from laces and silks compared to fabric wrapped around a sometimes weighty foam cup. There are more design possibilities with fabric bra cups (called "cut-and-sew" bras) as well, which from a designers perspective is much more interesting.
I completely understand that many women like the enhanced profile that can be achieved when the breasts are given a padded boost. However, I think a properly designed and fitted cut-and-sew bra should be the first step. Many women are surprised to find that when a bra fits properly and is put on the body correctly – scooping the breasts out of the armpit and into the cup – natural assets are enhanced. Also keep in mind that bra makers have several tools in the their design arsenal to help enhance breast size and shape without the use of any padding. Of course for a bigger boost strategically built in padding can do a lovely yet subtle job.
The other argument for foam comes from women who say they want foam to conceal their nipples and aereola. Well, I have found that a fitted cut and sew bra can also accomplish this – depending on the fabric choice of course – since the cup seam directly passes over the bust apex.
For those that still crave foam enhancement, you can still set yourself apart from the pre-molded crowd via foam that has been fitted to your contours. Yes, this is possible via a custom bra and occasionally I make bras using this method, especially when some extra support is called for via strapless styles. So while I don't use foam as a rule, it does have its place in my set of tools to make the best bra for each client.

Thank you for submitting your questions on Sunday, July 9th. Five Questions were submitted having to do with the Transgender Issue discussed last Sunday (39 questions overall for all the subjects). Three of them had to do with physical abnormalities at birth related to XX, XY chromosomes or varying degrees of physical deformations.
Q. Why does God allow this kind of deformity?
A. There is evil in the world and the effects of the fall are all around us and in us. God does not reverse all the results of the fall of man. In other words, many deformities and birth defects occur as a result of the fall. This is a reality. When Christ returns, no deformities will exist at all.
Q. What about babies born with 'biological' sex confusion, deformities, hermaphrodites, etc?
A. This is an important question. In other words, there is some level of biological transgender issues that nature itself has created. I'm not an expert in this, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I do think most biological confusion is corrected or treated early on by doctors and specialists, and that most transgender people are not, in fact, the result of such biological confusion from birth. In other words, theirs is a psychological transgender issue. I do not know how many transgender persons are actually the result of biological confusions at birth, but my sense is that the number is very, very small compared to those who simply developed the belief that they were in the wrong body.
Q. How common is intersex? From Intersex Society of North America
A. To answer this question in an uncontroversial way, you'd have to first get everyone to agree on what counts as intersex —and also to agree on what should count as strictly male or strictly female. That's hard to do. How small does a penis have to be before it counts as intersex? Do you count "sex chromosome" anomalies as intersex if there's no apparent external sexual ambiguity?
Here's what we do know: If you ask experts at medical centers how often a child is born so noticeably atypical in terms of genitalia that a specialist in sex differentiation is called in, the number comes out to about 1 in 1500 to 1 in 2000 births. But a lot more people than that are born with subtler forms of sex anatomy variations, some of which won't show up until later in life.
Below we provide a summary of statistics drawn from an article by Brown University researcher Anne Fausto-Sterling.2 The basis for that article was an extensive review of the medical literature from 1955 to 1998 aimed at producing numeric estimates for the frequency of sex variations. Note that the frequency of some of these conditions, such as congenital adrenal hyperplasia, differs for different populations. These statistics are approximations.
- Not XX and not XY one in 1,666 births
- Klinefelter (XXY) one in 1,000 births
- Androgen insensitivity syndrome one in 13,000 births
- Partial androgen insensitivity syndrome one in 130,000 births
- Classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia one in 13,000 births
- Late onset adrenal hyperplasia one in 66 individuals
- Vaginal agenesis one in 6,000 births
- Ovotestes one in 83,000 births
- Idiopathic (no discernable medical cause) one in 110,000 births
- Iatrogenic (caused by medical treatment; for instance, progestin administered to pregnant mother), no estimate
- 5 alpha reductase deficiency, no estimate
- Mixed gonadal dysgenesis, no estimate
- Complete gonadal dysgenesis one in 150,000 births
- Hypospadias (urethral opening in perineum or along penile shaft) one in 2,000 births
- Hypospadias (urethral opening between corona and tip of glans penis) one in 770 births
Q. Isn't it possible that someone could be impacted by the sin of the fall and in fact have the brain of the opposite sex than their biological birth sex?
A. Yes. But, this is not somehow a unique situation. ALL of us are born with 'sin on the brain' so to speak. We all must battle temptations and tendencies that have been passed down to us, or that is a manifestation of the sin nature that we each were born with. No one is exempt. Each of us has our own sinful tendencies to fight through.
Q. Body dysmorphic disorder is the correct term. Body dysphoria means 'depressed'.
A. According to Britain's National Health Service… Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), or body dysmorphia, is an anxiety disorder that causes sufferers to spend a lot of time worrying about their appearance and to have a distorted view of how they look.
Gender dysphoria is a condition where a person experiences discomfort or distress because there is a mismatch between their biological sex and gender identity.

Penguin Cafe Orchestra
I am not even joking about this amazing orchestra!
Founded by British composer Simon Jeffes, Penguin Cafe Orchestra aims to play 'imaginary folklore' music - tunes that are foreign yet rings a bell in everyone' heart and mind. My itune is forever looping their tunes - the intimately intertwining sounds of piano, ukelele, violins and trombone and exotic percussions. :)

to be bold, floral and black.
*from here
I like things to be quite poppy, quite graphic -- it's quite a London sensibility. I'm not looking for 'pretty' or 'nice'. Stripes are always a huge thing for me. I'm obsessed with strip'es. I like a graphic flower print, not a delicate Liberty (of London) print, and I like uniform prints.

Girl of my Dreams III
*from luz de noche's photostream
It was the summer before when my boyfriend introduces me to nouvelle vague (french new wave) films - in the heat of the summer we spent hours hiding away in cinemas and watching Jean-Luc Godard's films. Anna Karina is the star, beauty and muse in many of his movies (apparently they co-directed some films together!) in the 60's, and while Jean Seberg is a composed, calm, intelligent American beauty, Anna Karina is sure the bubbly Danish girl, full of wit and exuberance and irresistable charm. She looks great in both blanc et noir and colour!
I especially love Bande a Part and Une Femme est Une Femme.

Structural work is largely complete on the Jumbo now and attention turns to the cosmetic. The last two evenings have been spent applying Archers rivets in the approximate arrangement seen on these machines. The vac pipes have been fitted and numbers/crests applied. I have also glued paper punch bosses onto the axle nuts which vastly improves the appearance along with some paint applied.
The real magic is yet to come as I wield the airbrush and other media to bring this wee beastie to life proper over the next few days.
Stay tuned!

When an Ohio couple decides to divorce, several professionals like attorneys, mediators, therapists and accountants may be needed. One specialist that people might not know about is a certified divorce financial analyst, and this financial adviser could be necessary when a couple must divide retirement accounts with a Qualified Domestic Relations Order.
Getting an equitable division with a QDRO
Putting together a working parenting plan
Divorce is never easy, least of all when that divorce involves minor children, because on top of the emotional turmoil it can generate for the children, divorce also creates child custody questions that need to be solved. Often, it is the family court system that has to help resolve these, but the more parents can work together to agree on the parameters of custody and parenting, the easier the process is for everyone. One way that parents can make the process easier for themselves and their children is through the use of a parenting plan.
5 tips for successful co-parenting after divorce
Once the papers are signed and the divorce is final, you have an entirely new challenge. Your next hurdle is to figure out how to co-parent your children from two different homes. This often means two different sets of belief systems, rules and expectations. As hard as divorce can be on kids, parents can make it easier when they work together to successfully co-parent.
What is parental alienation?
"Parental alienation" is a term many people are unfamiliar with, but it happens more often than you might think. In fact, considering it a form of child abuse is a fair assessment. Children's emotional and mental well-beings are damaged through manipulation and bullying by a parent.
Child support plays a large role in single-parent households
Many Ohio parents have had children without ever getting married and are now raising them on their own. Compared to kids living with married parents, these children are three times more likely to be poor. Unmarried parents produce around 40 percent of the children born every year. When a child is born to unmarried parents, it is best when each parent can contribute to a child's emotional and financial needs.
A Divorced Dad's Guide to the Holidays
The wives tend to do much of the family planning in traditional marriages. It's not uncommon for them to even coordinate with the husband's side of the family in order to figure out big details like time and place as well as smaller things like who is bringing brownies. The stereotype is that dad gets his marching orders from mom just like the kids.

JL Audio Introduces FiX 82, the All-in-One Summing, Delay & EQ-Correcting OEM Integration Processor
Equipped with a powerful DSP processor, the FIXTM 82 combines an active line output converter, time delay synchronization, a signal-summing interface and EQ correction, all in one compact chassis. Setup is completely automatic with a calibration track and one simple press of a button.
- Connect up to eight channels of OEM analog audio signals, from low-voltage, line-level to high power, amplified speaker-level outputs (up to 30V RMS).
- Any time-delayed factory audio signals are automatically synchronized before summing, ensuring a correct, time and phase-coherent summed result.
- 2-way, 3-way or 4-way factory outputs can be summed into two full-range stereo signals, with automatic level matching.
- In the final step, dual 1/3 octave equalizers automatically correct the frequency response of the summed factory signals.
- A powerful DSP engine executes the one-button calibration process in approximately 30 seconds. No special equipment is needed. A calibration CD is included with the product.
- Analog and Digital Outputs - Two 4-volt line-level RCA jacks plus a digital optical (Toslink) output, supporting PCM audio (S/PDIF) 24bit / 48 kHz.
- Signal-sensing, DC-Offset Sensing or switched turn-on options with a dedicated turn-on output for equipment.
- JLID Port delivers added functionality and convenience from the driver's seat. An optional Digital Remote Controller adds functions for Master Volume Control, Handsfree Phone Optimization, and LED Status Reporting.
Manville Smith, V.P. of Marketing for JL Audio says, "FiX 82 is unique in that it's capable of addressing the most complex audio signal interfacing challenges, while also being incredibly simple to use. FiX 82's ability to correct delays in factory signals is a real game-changer with today's complex OEM systems. This feature alone can represent the difference between bad audio and great audio. We think that installers will really appreciate having such a versatile and precise interface."
Suggested Retail Price: USD $329.99

Hot Tub Time Machine (2010)
It's so darn quaint, it looks like a movie set, but the real town of Fernie in British Columbia's Kootenay region is the setting for the comedy, Hot Tub Time Machine. Standing in as the fictional resort of Kodiak Valley where Rob Corddry and John Cusack find the clocks turned back to 1986, Fernie is a bona fide ski and vacation destination in Canada blessed with an insanely scenic location and well preserved historic main drag. The film's Silver Peak Lodge does not actually exist, but this popular ski resort town offers plenty of other places to stay.
Brokeback Mountain (2005)
Though the Annie Proulx book was set in Wyoming, the steamy scenes between Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger that caused a stir when Brokeback Mountain came out were filmed against the sumptuous backdrop of southern Alberta and the Canadian Rockies.
In fact, most of the movie's filming was in Alberta, including Calgary, Fort McLeod and the especially striking Canmore and Kananaskis Country, destinations popular for their impressive year-round roster of activities amidst stunning scenery.
"First Blood" (1982)
Early on his path to superstardom, Sylvester Stallone headed to the small town of Hope, British Columbia (three hours from Seattle, Washington, and 90 minutes from Vancouver), to make the first movie in the Rambo series, First Blood. Stallone's character, ex-Green Beret John Rambo, innocently wanders into Hope only to be persecuted to the brink by local hicks. He finally blows a gasket, receding into the region's wilderness and Cascade mountain range all the while killing every law enforcement officer that crosses his path.
The Hotel New Hampshire (1984)
Director Tony Richardson substituted Tadoussac, Quebec, for the New England setting in his movie The Hotel New Hampshire. The Hotel Tadoussac is where John Irving's humorous but often bleak and disturbing tale unfolds.
Tadoussac, which is about a three-hour drive from Quebec City, is most famous as a whale watching destination in Canada and draws visitors from all over the world.
Clan of the Cave Bear (1986)
Much of this film featuring a scantily clad Darryl Hannah as a Cro-Magnon woman fighting for rights amongst Neanderthal men was filmed in British Columbia's Okanagan Valley.
This laid-back region is focused around the Okanagan River, which extends into Washington State. Its scenic location and dry climate have historically attracted retirees, but as of late is well known for its outstanding wineries.
Kelowna, the Okanagan Valley's major city is a great base from which to explore the region.
"The Shipping News" (2001)
We move from the mountains of Brokeback Mountain to Canada's most eastern province, Newfoundland, as the setting for another Annie Proulx novel turned movie: The Shipping News.
Like Brokeback Mountain's majestic Rocky Mountain backdrop, the raw geography and rugged coastlines of The Shipping News, directed by Lasse Hallström and starring Kevin Spacey and Julianne Moore, reflect the story's drama and give it texture.
"Quoyle Point"--the point of land bearing the main character's family name--is not a real place in Newfoundland. Most of the filming occurred in New Bonaventure in the Trinity Bight region.
Possibly more than any other Canadian destination, Newfoundland--the place--is integrally associated with the Newfoundland people. The beauty of one matches that of the other, and understanding either is something achieved only by visiting.
The Grey Fox
A Canadian movie classic, the Grey Fox tells the tale of Bill Miner, who is released from prison into a world strange and unfamiliar. Though he tries, Miner can't resist his penchant for criminal behavior and sets out to rob the Canadian Pacific Railway.
The Grey Fox is shot in luscious British Columbia locales, including Vancouver and surrounding areas as well as Cheakamus Canyon--a destination famous for its hiking and climbing located along the scenic Sea to Sky Highway.

Balance and Vestibular Rehabilitation
Every year, between 20 and 40 percent of adults over 65 who live at home will fall. Half of those who fall do so repeatedly. According to the Vestibular Disorders Association, dizziness is second only to lower back pain in the number of complaints that physicians treat.
Balance is a complex function that requires reliable sensory input from a person's vision, vestibular system (the balance system of the inner ear), and the somatosensory system (sensors in the body that detect position and movement). Common symptoms of balance disorders include:
- Episodes of spinning or dizziness (vertigo)
- Lightheadedness
- Difficulty walking in the dark or functioning after riding in a vehicle
- Problems coordinating eye and head movement without feeling off balance
- Legs feeling uncoordinated
- Feeling unstable with transitional movements (example, sitting to standing) or when walking on uneven surfaces
At Carson Physical Therapy, our therapists will evaluate and assess all the systems that contribute to an individual's balance using state-of-the-art computerized systems:
- The SMART Balance Master to measure an individual's center of gravity and weight bearing symmetry as they perform various tasks with specific tests to isolate the three systems of balance: vision, the vestibular and somatosensory systems. It was originally designed to measure equilibrium in NASA shuttle crews pre- and post-flight. It represents the most advanced balance and mobility assessment and treatment equipment available.
- NeuroCom inVision allows us to quantify an individual's ability to maintain visual clarity and stable gaze while actively moving their head, a key factor in performing activities of daily living.
Combined, the SMART Balance Master and inVision give unique insight into the contributing components of an individual's balance problem. The same systems are then used for specialized therapy to improve balance performance for safe return to daily activity and sport.

You wanted the best, you got the best, the hottest brewery in the world – MOOR
We may not don platform boots and makeup, but we are ready to greet our crazed fans. As we said in our previous blog, one of the many reasons for our move to Bristol was to get close to people and give them the opportunity to visit us. Like all big projects, things took longer than expected, but we're finally ready to ease the floodgates open, and I do mean ease. Things aren't perfect yet but the overwhelming majority have said they'd rather us open now and tart things up as we go along. I swear, I've had more grief from people asking "when do you open?" than from my kids asking "are we there yet?"
Our online shop opened on Friday, and we were very pleased to have a number of orders waiting to ship Monday morning. Our retail shop is now open as well, with our Tap opening later this week. Hours (which will be increasing) and directions can be found here.
Do you want to wake up next to your lover in a Moor Beer shirt? This is the place to get it. Need a wedding present but don't fancy boring crystal? A set of our stunning glasses (in two sizes and designs) will get much better use. Did someone just house sit for you while you were on holiday? Grab them some bomber bottles of Moor Beer on your way back from the station. Soon we'll have Gingerbeard Chipotle Ketchup featuring Amoor in stock for that dinner party you're going to later (don't forget to order your 20 litre party box of beer in advance). And there will be even moor in store. While you're mulling over your purchase decisions you can enjoy a great cup of Clifton Coffee. If you haven't heard it a thousand times yet, Christmas is just around the corner…
The Tap is the place to get close to other like-minded people, your favourite brewer, and the odd celebrity. You may even meet your next partner here. Bring your friends, bring games, but leave your attitude. Seating is beer hall style – we want everyone talking and having a great time together. We've got 10 keg lines and 4 cask lines installed, plus fridges full of our 660ml bomber bottles and chic Karma Cola soft drinks. Hot drinks, courtesy of Clifton Coffee, include proper coffee, tea and hot chocolate. We'll have some pretty rare and amazing beers making appearances. And we've got some incredible events planned.
After all, don't you want to rock 'n roll all night and party every day?

How to Remove Lenses From Eyeglasses
You will need to properly remove your eyeglass lenses if you are changing frames or if you would like to clean or adjust the lenses. For plastic frames, you can pop the lenses out with a little pressure. For metal frames, you can release the lenses by loosening the screws on either side of the glasses. Work with a gentle hand to avoid damaging the frames or the lenses.
Evaluate the glasses to determine the best way of removing the lenses. Lenses will either be a pop-out style or held in place by screws at the temples.
Hold the lens using your microfiber cloth. This will protect the lens from scratches while you work.
Use the small screwdriver from the eyeglass kit to loosen the screw located at the temple of your glasses. As you loosen, the frame will release and the lens will pop out. Repeat on the other side.
Heat the rim of your plastic frames using the hair dryer. This will warm the plastic to allow for easy lens removal.
Use the microfiber cloth to hold the lens and gently press the back of the glass forward. The back is the surface closest to your eye. Press near the top of the lens and continue pushing with an even, yet gentle pressure until the lens pops out. Repeat on the other side.
Place a towel under your work area to protect the lens from damage if they pop out suddenly.

Small Cars Under $15,000 Fight: Scion vs Toyota
Let's now see how the real city cars are going to withstand the pressure of one another. Small cars are becoming a more and more popular trend nowadays, and it is usually quite difficult to spot some significant differences in them, though we are trying to see whether this common perception is true or not. Let's welcome the fight between 2012 Scion iQ and another great small car new 2012 Toyota Yaris.
Both cars start from less than $15,000. Though new Scion will be a little more expensive than Toyota. Its invoice price was set at $14,500, while new Yaris can be bought for $13,550. Now let's look at the core of the both cars. New Scion got the gas I4 1.3-Liter engine with the power output of 81-horses. At the same time new Toyota got the gas I4 1.5-Liter engine and therefore is capable of a little more power and gives out 91-horses. Though new Scion because of its hybrid nature can offer higher fuel efficiency while in the city, and it is 36 mpg, while new Yaris offers just 30. Though on the highway both cars are pretty the same and offer 27-38 miles per gallon.
So in the end we will say that new Yaris is a little more attractive to us as a small but very active city car.

When making fresh pomegranate juice, put the seeds in a clean garlic press and press down hard. It works so quickly!
The pomegranate was a nice touch, adding color, crunch, and flavor. But this salad wasn't anything spectacular. I'll stick to some of the other salads & just add pomegranate when in season.

Very tasty!!! The dressing is very balanced, sweet from the pomegrante and pears, sour from the lemon, and a little spice from the pepper. I bought a small bag of spring lettuce, and only had re...
Loved the dressing. Light and flavorful. I made this for Thanksgiving and added candied pecans. Everyone loved it.
I actually used an apple with this since my pears were not quite ripe. Other than that--delicious as is! Thanks for sharing this recipe!
This was nothing short of fabulous. It would be a great starter for a nice dinner so that the dressing remains warm. This is both easy and elegant.
Absolutely delightful salad. Will definately make again as everyone loved it. I don't usually change a recipe the first time i make it but as this is a winter salad, I thought I'd go with a li...
We had this for Christmas dinner and it was wonderful! I think I'd add a few less pomagranate seeds next time but I'd definitely have it again.

PornHub Description
PornHub is a tracking cookie associated with the popular free pornographic website with the same name. To understand the PornHub tracking cookie, it is first important to understand that, when we talk about cookies, we are not talking about delicious baked goodies. Rather, we are talking about HTTP cookies, which are also known as tracking cookies. These are nothing more than snippets of text which your Internet browser stores, containing data that a website uses to know who you are what your're visiting. The server which the computer user is accessing sends this snippet of text to the user's Internet browser, which then sends the text back whenever the user makes contact with that server. There are many legitimate uses for HTTP cookies, such as logging onto your accounts, keeping you logged in while you browser, keeping track of your preferences, your gaming scores or any items you may have bought online. To understand cookies, remember, they are not programs but simple data that have no effect on the Internet browser, but on the server you're accessing. This is why the PornHub tracking cookie cannot be accurately classified as a virus or a spyware infection. According to ESG PC security researchers, like all cookies, the PornHub tracking cookie is not a malware application that actively affects your computer. However, the presence of this cookie allows your computer to be tracked across different sites.
If It is Not Malware, Then Why is the PornHub Tracking Cookie Dangerous?
As was mentioned before, the PornHub tracking cookie cannot be classified as a malware infection. However, this is not to say that this tracking cookie is benign or innocuous. In fact, the PornHub tracking cookie poses a threat to your privacy. Since the PornHub tracking cookie can be used to keep track of your online activity, many anti-spyware applications classify PornHub tracking cookie as a spyware infection. While the effect is not entirely the same, there are similarities in that the PornHub tracking cookie allows unscrupulous individuals to know which websites you visit, as well as your online activity. The PornHub tracking cookie, in particular, is associated with a large network of pornographic websites, which is also information that most individuals would rather keep private and prevent from being divulged. The PornHub tracking cookie has also been associated with pop-up windows and advertisements. Fortunately, most Internet browsers give you the option of eliminating all stored cookies as well as blocking specific unwanted tracking cookies.

geniune bonbon sorghum sweet seed
Adding variety to your diet can often introduce nutrients that may complement those present in the foods that you already eat. Although the sorghum grain, or Sorghum bicolor, ranks fifth behind wheat, rice, corn and barley in world production and consumption, it is a staple food in 30 countries in the tropics and semi-tropics. In contrast to many other cereal grains, sorghum is gluten-free, and the bran layers of dark-colored varieties are rich in phytonutrients with health-promoting properties.
Sorghum may be cooked and served alone, popped, or used in porridges and breads. A 1-cup, 192-gram serving of sorghum is energy-rich, providing 650 calories, 48 percent of your recommended daily intake, or RDI, for carbohydrates, mainly complex carbohydrates, and 48 percent of your RDI for fiber. Sorghum is rich in thiamin, riboflavin, niacin and trace minerals such as iron, phosphorus and potassium. The color of sorghum varies from white to red to black, and the bran of dark-colored varieties is rich in compounds called phenolic acids, tannins, anthocyanins and policosanols.
