CROCKETT, TX (KTRE) - A Houston County grand jury has indicted a 35-year-old Tyler man who is accused of sexually assaulting a young girl and molesting a young boy at a residence in Grapeland back in June.
Edward Dwaine Justice was indicted on two felony charges - sexual assault of a child and indecency with a child. He was among the 19 people indicted on Sept. 21.
According to the arrest affidavit, a Grapeland Police officer attended a forensic interview of the boy on June 19. During the interview, the boy explained in detail how Justice had molested him.
When the Grapeland PD officer interviewed Justice at the Houston County Sheriff's Office Friday, Justice allegedly admitted to molesting the boy. In addition, he admitted to performing sexual acts with the girl "on two or three separate occasions," the affidavit stated.

|I especially love Quick Fangs expression, she looks so sad for the wolf and maybe for Blacksnake. Your style is so unique, it seems so simple and yet you manage to capture different difficult emotions from every Elf in the picture. It really is a dramatic and sad scene! Well done!

|It is kinda impressive how you managed that the worry is portrait in slightly different facial expressions on all four elves. Crackle looks worried & surprised, whereas Otter's worry is hidden behind an angry expression. Well done!

The European Prison Observatory is a project coordinated by the Italian Ngo Antigone, and developed with financial support from the Criminal Justice Programme of the European Union.
The European Prison Observatory studies, through quantitative and qualitative analysis, the condition of the national prison systems and the related systems of alternatives to detention, comparing these conditions to the international norms and standards relevant for the protections of detainees' fundamental rights. The European Prison Observatory highlights to European experts and practitioners 'good practices' existing in the different countries, both for prison management and for the protection of prisoners' fundamental rights. Finally it promotes the adoption of the CPT standards and of the other international legal instruments on detention as a fundamental reference for the activities of the available national monitoring bodies.
The European Prison Observatory is directed by Mauro Palma, President of the European Council for Penological Co-operation and former President of the European Committee for the prevention of torture and Inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.
The European Prison Observatory activities are coordinated by Alessio Scandurra, member of Antigone's managing board coordinator of Antigone's Observatory on Italian prison conditions.
The partner organizations are:
Antigone is an Italian Ngo born in 1991 and dealing with human right protection in penal and penitentiary system. Antigone carries on a cultural work on public opinion through campaigns, education, media, publications and the academic journal «Antigone» (three issues for year). Antigone cooperates in writing normative texts on penal and penitentiary matters. An Observatory on Italian prisons, involving around 50 people, is also active since 1998, when Antigone received from the Ministry of Justice special authorizations to visit prisons with the same power that the law gives to parliamentarians. Every year Antigone's Observatory publishes a Report on Italian penitentiary system. Through a prison Ombudsman to which it gave birth, Antigone also collects complaints from prisons and police stations and mediates with the administration in order to solve specific problems. Furthermore, Antigone's lawyers and physicians operate in some Italian prisons giving suggestions and monitoring life conditions. Antigone also carries on investigations about ill-treatments and sometimes is formally involved in the related trials.

I may be weird but a beautiful place setting ranks really high on my list when it comes to weddings or any event (even when it's just me and my girlfriends having dinner at home!) So you can imagine how much fun (and research) I had during the styling of the KnotsVilla launch shoot. During my wedding I did not have much to do with the place settings; I had a hotel wedding so the hotel management pretty much took care of all that. Then I had no idea, now I think I do so I'm willing to share with you some place setting ideas.
There are many ways to style your table for your events, it all majorly depends on the what you have (or would be having), the food served and eventually your style/taste. Here are the basics which I split into three; the formal, informal and semi-formal. I honestly threw in the semi-formal because I just love the look of chargers!
With these you can build up (or tear down) to provide the right look for you. I particularly stayed away from details such as different ways to fold (and place ) the napkins, the place cards and others because it would be too much for one post. But worry not, a post with those pretty details are on their way!
So how would you be setting your table? Formal, informal, semi formal or something totally in-between?
I'd love to hear!

I admit it...I am an addict. It's Chris' fault. He is the one who got me started. Now I am going to stand up and say... I am LaTonne and I am a pursaholic. Actually, purses aren't my only addiction. I also have drawers of jewelry.
It all started when Chris gave me a Louis Vitton duffle for Christmas one year. Before that, I had a couple of purses that I liked but they were more for function than fashion. Now I had heard of Louis before. I mean, I worked in a bank in Scottsdale, AZ. Of course you see people with things like that. But actually owning one had never crossed my mind. So when I opened that present, I was like Wow...uh...Thanks? When I went back to work after the holidays proudly carrying my rather large purse, I was impressed with the attention it got. "Okay", I thought, "there might be something to this." And then I found out how much that attention getter cost(because people that are impressed with those kinds of things always know what they cost), I about died. I mean, holy cow, I could have a new roping saddle for what that thing cost. I suddenly become very aware of how much thought Chris had put into getting me this gift. His reasoning was...I was working in an environment that appreciated and expected someone on their way up to have something like this. And because he knew that I would never spend that kind of money on a purse. This is one of the many reasons I love him. But that was just the beginning...
I began to notice purses now. I mean really to look at them. There are so many styles and colors. When I found the light blue, lizard print embossed Prada at GoodWill, I was hooked. From that moment on I was constantly on the lookout for the next great deal. Now the first place I check at a thrift store is the purse section. I have found some great purses and have amassed about 20 or so(I don't count for reason).
Now, my brother is feeding the addiction. He is hand making purses and sending them home. Boxes of them. OMG-It is like Christmas whenever one of his boxes show up. I have died and gone to Heaven.
Here are a couple of purses that my brother has made. They are all hand cut, hand assembled and hand sewn. You would never guess it looking at the stitches. This white one is my favorite. It doesn't show very well in the picture, but they both have a gold sheen to them(If you click on the picture it enlarges and you can see the great detail).
This is one he made for Megan(but I have borrowed it a couple of times because it is so cute). I love the stitching around the edge.
And my dear brother just called and said that we should get another box in a day or so. I can't wait...But I still like plunking that big ol' Louis on the table and telling people - that's my new roping saddle. Chris, honey you are the bomb. XOXO

Our Systems of Neglected Ownership
January 6, 2016 by marcpierson
In social systems, you are the system and the system is you. There is no escaping it.
Our challenge is to discover how our systems' intended beneficiaries can find their way back into decision-making positions. All systems ultimately serve the decision makers. When control shifts from those who created the enterprise to solve their problems into the hands of those they hired to provide the service, it should be no surprise the system morphs away from serving the clients toward serving the operators.
Our major social systems are profoundly dysfunctional: 1) Health, 2) Safety/Justice, 3) Education, and 4) Government.
These systems are currently governed by their managers not by the originally intended beneficiaries. How did this happen?
The root cause of dysfunction is the same in each case–woeful lack of participation by key stakeholders–the purported beneficiaries: 1) patients, 2) communities, 3) students, and 4) citizens.
In each case, we must assert the rights of those who are paying for the system to design and govern the systems. Of course this requires matching the scale of system (subsystems) to the level of relevance and participation of the intended beneficiaries. This is the only way to avoid the structural stupidly inherent in bureaucracies. Scalable governance is the puzzle to be solved. When there is a model of scalable governance in hand the owners can engage in renewed, ongoing design and governance of their systems–at a democratic scale, in a non-bureaucratic structure.
You are the system and the system is you. There is no escaping it.
The need for hyper-local governance has been solved for 700 years continuously in some places around the world. More on that later…

Tippi's Tips
Tippi Shorter, who has tamed the tresses of Jennifer Hudson, Rihanna, and Alicia Keys, knows there is no exact formula for curly hair. "All curls are different," she says. "You must experiment to find the perfect product that gives you the result you are looking for." But this doesn't stop her from having an arsenal of easy-to-follow tips and tricks up her sleeve!
Slippery When Wet
Start your styling process in the shower when hair is wet. "Products tend to get a little messy, so the shower is a great place to apply," explains Shorter. Afterwards, wrap your hair in a cotton t-shirt to allow the water to start draining. This way, the cuticle of the curl won't be disturbed.

Brush it Off
"When working with curly hair, I suggest using a large paddle brush on medium to tight curls to make sure the product gets spread through the hair evenly," explains Shorter.

Fight Frizz
"If you are wearing your naturally curly hair straight, its best to use a blow dry balm or cream to help keep the hair smooth and frizz free," says Shorter.

Straighten Up
"I highly suggest using a leave-in conditioner before blow drying," says Shorter.

Blow it Out
Use a blow dryer with titanium. "It will eliminates static and break down water molecules for faster drying and styling," says Shorter.

Au Naturale
Use a diffuser when drying hair until it is about 80 percent done, then allow the hair to air dry the rest of the way.
Ouidad Air Diffuser, $18; ouidad.com
Wrap it Up
To preserve your blowout for a couple of days, tie your hair down with a satin scarf at bedtime. "The satin works to prevent the cuticles from frizzing out," says Shorter.

Use Protection!

Published : Thursday, December 13, 2018 | 5:39 AM
Train service on the Gold Line is now back to normal, Metro said Wednesday, two weeks after a big rig crashed on the concrete barrier separating the tracks from the I-210 Freeway in East Pasadena, and damaged the Gold Line's signaling system.
The accident on Thanksgiving Day snarled traffic for over eight hours and forced Metro to run trains every 10 minutes during morning and afternoon rush hours instead of the six-minute peak service, as crews repaired the damage.
"I have just been told that our repairs to the Gold Line were completed on Monday. The Gold Line is back to normal operations," Brian Haas, Metro's Communications Manager, said in an email.
Metro records indicate have been four similar crashes this year alone in which vehicles have ended up running off the freeway and onto Gold Line tracks or its right-of way, including last Thanksgiving's.
To prevent accidents like this from recurring, Metro said it has been planning to raise the barriers between the I-210's traffic lanes and the tracks, which run down the middle of the freeway.
Last month, a status report on the I-210 Barrier Replacement Project given to Metro's Board of Directors said the project is now forecast to cost up to $20 million, from a previous estimate of $11.08 million, and could take up to Spring 2020 to complete.
Phase 1 of the project would be in Arcadia, east of Michillinda Avenue, and Phase 2 would be in Pasadena, where crashes like last month's have been frequent.
Metro says the project will be a challenging one, especially because it will be constructed in an "incredibly constrained location," with little space to work in on either side, Haas explained earlier.
Metro would also have to contend with impacts of the construction work on 210 Freeway traffic, as well as to the air quality and noise levels in the neighbourhood.
The project, Metro said, would also require an expanded environmental study that means more time and money.
Despite the challenges, the Metro Board has already committed to completing this project, Haas said earlier.

The Surreal House, London
Top, 'Au Natural' by Sarah Lucas, 1994
Bottom, 'Priere de Toucher' by Marcel Duchamp, 1947
With a full house of starry artists and wunderkammer appeal, this exhibition had all the building blocks of a sure-fire summer hit. It boasted no less than 150 works, including that of founding fathers and mothers like Louise Bourgeois, René Magritte and Hans Bellmer, alongside later scions such as Sarah Lucas and Rachel Whiteread, film-makers Buster Keaton, Jean Cocteau and Maya Deren and architect Rem Koolhaas. Providing the literal framework, young architects Carmody Groarke set out to transform the Barbican's galleries into a surreal house, with exhibits standing in for wobbly fittings and fixtures beginning with Marcel Duchamp's relief of a woman's breast, which doubles as a doorbell.

Curtains are often stylish and have creative designs. They come in a wide range of colors, designs, patterns, type of material and the likes. This ability of curtains makes it easy to collaborate curtains with the other decorative items of the room, creating a good environment inside the house.
On the other hand, blinds also come in many styles and textures. Unfortunately, they are not diverse in designs and patterns as the curtains are.
The presence of curtains gives a sense of coziness, thus creating a relaxing ambience inside your house. However, blinds are not far behind too. They also impart the same level of comfort.
The curtains also prevent the outside noise from entering inside. They act as a buffer and help in maintaining a quite environment inside the house. On the other hand, owing to the design of the blinds, they are not good at stopping the noise coming from the outside.
Curtains, due to their fabric and design, are able to block the sunlight better. On the other hand, the spaces between the blinds let some amount of sunlight enter the rooms. This may be good or bad depending on your geographical location.
The cost of installation for both curtains and blinds is almost comparable or same. However, curtains are cheaper than blinds because of the difference in their material and quality.
Curtains may block fresh air up to some extent, but blinds owing to their flexibility in design act as a good medium for bringing the air from outside.
As far as safety is concerned, with kids and pets around, one should go with window covers that have sharp ends or have cords which are within their reach. None of the covers must be too long as kids often hold and push them, which is risky as the pelmet may fall down in this case.
So, from the above discussion, it is easy to conclude that buying curtains is better than blinds. But, this mainly depends on your requirements and the area you are living in.

The 16th edition of the Australian Bankruptcy Act 1966 with Regulations and Rules is the first publication of the Act in its "new look". That is, the Bankruptcy Act 1966 (Cth) is now in its full and complete form following the substantial changes introduced in 2017 by the Insolvency Law Reform Act 2016 (Cth), the last of which commenced on 1 September 2017.
Bankruptcy statute law now has this structure:
- Bankruptcy Act 1966 – Act
- Schedule 2 to the Act, being the Insolvency Practice Schedule (Bankruptcy) 2016 – Schedule 2
- Insolvency Practice Rules (Bankruptcy) 2016 – Rules
- Bankruptcy Regulations 1996 – Regulations.
Schedule 2 and the Rules
In brief, much of the law that has always been in the Bankruptcy Act itself now appears in Schedule 2, and in the Rules, and some of the law that was formerly in the regulations now appears in the Rules. Schedule 2 now contains a series of Divisions in relation to the registration and regulation of trustees, the convening and holding of meetings of creditors, and creditors' rights to information, trustee remuneration, financial controls, committees of inspection and powers of the court and of the Inspector-General in Bankruptcy. The Rules comprise more detailed provisions, also divided into Divisions.
A significant change is to transfer, and add to, the former Schedule 4A Performance Standards for trustees, which are now contained in Division 42 of the Rules.
Transitional arrangements
As with any new law, transitional arrangements are in place to determine which of the old law continues to apply, for example in relation to bankrupt estates that existed as at 1 September 2017. These arrangements are contained in the new edition.
A purpose of the new structure of the Act is to harmonise the processes of personal insolvency with those of corporate insolvency, where possible. The Corporations Act has also been amended by the ILRA, fully commencing on 1 September 2017, with the addition of its parallel Schedule 2, into which the same sort of provisions as in bankruptcy have been transferred.
This harmonisation should lead to the development of a more consistent approach to the law and practice of insolvency generally.
Core bankruptcy provisions and related laws
At the same time, none of the core bankruptcy provisions is affected – those dealing with bankruptcy process leading to sequestration, voidable transactions, assessment of proofs of debt and payment of dividends. The same applies in corporate insolvency.
The publication has always been supplemented by necessary related laws – the Bankruptcy (Estate Charges) Act 1997, as also amended, and the Federal Court of Australia (Bankruptcy) Rules 2016 and the Federal Circuit Court (Bankruptcy Rules) 2016 as now amended to accommodate the new law.
This consolidated version of the Bankruptcy Act is a necessary text for bankruptcy trustees, lawyers, academics and other professionals involved in personal insolvency in Australia.
Potential for further reform
A proposed law reform change that was announced by the government in 2016 is a reduction in the period of bankruptcy from three years to one, that is, with automatic discharge being available after one year. A bill to effect what would be a significant reform has, at the date of publication, yet to be introduced into parliament.

With many things going on in the world right now, especially in Europe it is always great to reflect on my time studying abroad. As lacrosse players at Georgia Tech, experiencing the best combination of engineering and lacrosse, we are constantly encouraged by the coaches to squeeze every opportunity out of this amazing school. Study abroad programs are increasingly growing popular among the student body, and the lacrosse team is no exception. In the summer of 2015, I was fortunate to apart of the Oxford Program. We spent 5 weeks travelling throughout Europe with two of our professors, followed by a 6-week stay at Worcester College of the prestigious Oxford University in England. In 11 weeks, I experienced multiple cities spread out among 12 European countries including France, Czech Republic, Germany and Italy. Each day was an incredible opportunity to experience a variety of cultures with both old and new friends. As an out of state student I wasn't too sure on the cost of studying in another country for a whole summer and I was lucky in that I was awarded grants to achieve this is. At Tech, anything is possible if you are willing to take the time to do what it takes to be successful. For me, a 15 minute application sent me to another continent to experience a once in a life time trip.

Perfect Paleo Bacon Meatloaf
For some reason my kids have never really liked meatloaf, and I have never understood that! They like hamburgers without the bun…what's the difference?! Oh well, I decided to pull out a secret weapon to make this one; Bacon 🙂
1 pound ground beef
1 pound ground pork
1/4 cup almond meal
2 Tbsp tomato paste
1 Tsp Onion Powder
1 Tsp Garlic Powder
1 Tbsp Salt
1 Egg Lightly Beaten
1 Pound of Bacon
- In a large mixing bowl mix beef, pork, almond meal, tomato paste, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and egg until combined. Do not over mix.
- Form meat mixture into a free form loaf on a baking dish lined with foil.
- Wrap the loaf with the full package of bacon in any way you wish, just make sure it's fully covered, and you use it all!
- Bake in a 375 degree oven for 45 minutes, or until cooked through and bacon is crisp.
- Let rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

Easy Paleo Meatballs
Easy Paleo Meatballs:
If you are looking for a quick and easy Paleo meatball recipe, this one is for you! The key to moist meatballs every single time is how you cook them. Although browning meatballs adds extra flavor, it can sometimes impart some toughness to the meat. Instead, I essentially poach my meatballs in crushed tomatoes and the results are amazing. Try them and let me know what ya'll think!
1 Pound Ground Turkey
1 Pound Ground Beef
1 Tbsp Salt
1 Tsp Cracked Black Pepper
1 Tsp Garlic Powder
1 Tsp Onion Powder
2 Tbsp Coconut Flour
1 Tsp Dried Basil
1 Tsp Dried Oregano
28 oz Can Crushed Tomatoes with Basil
- In a large mixing bowl, combing both meats with the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, coconut flour, and dried spices. Combine them thoroughly but take care not to over work the mixture.
- In a deep sauce pan large enough to hold the meatballs in one layer pour in one third of the tomatoes to coat the bottom of the pan.
- For each meatball form 1/3 of a cup of the meat mixture into a ball and set in the sauce pan in one layer. Pour the remaining tomatoes on the top of the meatballs, season with 1 tsp of salt, and set over medium heat. Once the contents start to bubble away turn the head down to a simmer, cover, and allow to cook for a minimum of 30 minutes. The longer they cook the softer your meatballs will be.
- 15 Minutes before you are ready to eat take the over off and allow the sauce to reduce to a slightly thicker consistency.
- Serve with spaghetti squash, sautéed zucchini noodles, or all by themselves!

DANGER: Is "Paleo Friendly" the New "Fat Free?"
There is a real problem going on these days in the Paleo community, and I think many need to take great caution not to fall victim. In two words…"Paleo Friendly".
Years ago when fat became the devil in America a new catch phrase was born; "low fat." Think about it, the very idea of something being low fat didn't mean a hill of beans 30 years ago. Once the food industry realized that this simple phrase would attract millions to buy, and make them billions in profit, it became a real food phenomenon. All of a sudden you should not eat an oreo, but you could polish off an entire box of Snackwells and it was all good. They are low fat so they don't count!
Here is another one…"sugar free." Type 2 diabetics, on the average, love their sweets. They know they can't justify eating overtly sweet treats, so they run for the "sugar free" items almost as if they don't count. Once sugar became a bad thing, the food industry did all they could to come up with sugar substitutes. That lasted for a while, but then…once they became questionable because they are "artificial," they set out to make sugar substitutes made with real sugar! HUH?! You can't make this stuff up.
This simplistic thinking can be dangerous. Being low fat does not make things healthy, and neither does being sugar free. But, here is the kicker, the newest catchphrase is "paleo friendly." And yes, simply being paleo friendly does not make things less dangerous. If we are not careful, it could be the ultimate downfall of the Paleo lifestyle.
Paleo became a viable option for many because it makes physiologic sense. Fuel your body with real food based on a low carbohydrate and protein rich diet, and achieve success in weight loss and overall health. One of the great debates has always been what things truly are "Paleo" and which ones are not. Once those lines are drawn, then it seems that any combination or concoction is fair game as long as the ingredients add up. Is that the right line of thinking?
To me it is overly simplistic reasoning, and it can indeed be dangerous. Suddenly if you crave your treats, you can find a "paleo friendly" version of just about anything. Cookbooks are everywhere promising Paleo treats, Paleo baking, Paleo sweets. All the current necessary buzzwords are there; gluten-free, dairy-free, no refined sugars, etc. Paleo cakes, paleo ice cream, paleo cookies, paleo pies, paleo candy! Where does it stop?
Most who know me and spend time around me these days know how I eat, and that has even spread to the pharmaceutical representatives who visit us on a daily basis. They often bring snacks for the doctors and staff, and over time those who visit my brother and I's station at the office have learned that we prefer fresh fruits, vegetables, and nuts over processed treats and baked goodies. Some have even learned the catchphrase "paleo friendly" and at times bring us treats from local bakeries that have figured out that Paleo people still love their sweets as long as the ingredients fit the bill! The other day I was brought a "Paleo bar" which was promised to be made of "100% Paleo Friendly Ingredients." It was, and it was so sickeningly sweet that I could only take two bites before having to stop! It was a mix of a candy bar and a granola bar made of paleo safe ingredients. It was "paleo friendly," but it certainly was not good for me.
As you continue on your Paleo journey do not fall victim to the term "paleo friendly." After all, what is the Paleo lifestyle all about? Is it not about establishing a healthy relationship with food? Isn't why you eat foods and what you are hoping to accomplish through eating certain foods important? I believe that it is; in fact I believe that is the whole game. You can crave a paleo cookie as badly as you crave an oreo, so don't fool yourself in thinking there is a difference! Give some thought to this idea, and ask yourself WHY you are eating those Paleo "treats." Did you used to eat the Snackwells because they were "low fat?" Come on, be honest! Don't fall victim to this latest "catchphrase." It's not worth it…
We will talk more about this topic in the coming months. As always, I appreciate everyone's input in the comments below. I have done some work to the blog and plan to try and post more often in the coming year. I will post more on Paleo, and more on my outdoor activities. Make sure and check out my YouTube channel as well and click that subscribe button! Much fun and excitement is to come soon on the blog and the channel this year 🙂

Nanoparticles deprive tumors of their oxygen
News Channels: Materials SCENE, Nano SCENE, Biological SCENE
Keywords: nanomedicines, cancer therapies, deoxygenation, magnesium silicide
To suffocate and slow the growth of cancer cells, researchers have designed magnesium silicide nanoparticles that deoxygenate acidic environments, such as those inside tumors (Nat. Nanotechnol. 2017, DOI: 10.1038/nnano.2016.280). The team, led by Wenbo Bu and Jianlin Shi of the Chinese Academy of Sciences' State Key Laboratory of High Performance Ceramics & Superfine Microstructure, wanted to develop agents that could selectively remove oxygen in tumors but not in healthy tissue, and do so without the use of toxic materials. The agents they developed, 100-nm-diameter Mg2Si particles modified with poly(vinylpyrrolidone), scavenge for oxygen by first breaking down to magnesium ions and silane in acidic environments. The silane then reacts with oxygen to produce water and silicon dioxide. In sealed dialysis bags, the particles react with both dissolved oxygen and oxygen held in hemoglobin. The researchers tested the nanomaterials in mice that had two tumors grafted into their bodies. The scientists injected Mg2Si particles into one tumor and just saline into the other. After eight hours, blood oxygen saturation levels in the particle-treated tumors were about 75% lower than those injected with saline. Meanwhile, oxygen levels didn't change significantly in normal tissue injected with the particles. But when the team delivered the particles intravenously, instead of directly into tumors, they observed only a slight reduction in tumor oxygen levels. Shi thinks this is because the particles haven't been optimized to target tumors.

Mango is my favorite fruit. I hardly eat mango here because the supermarket mostly sells rockhard mango (made of steel, meant to be on the tree a month longer I suspect), or mango that is all mushy and way too ripe. But tonight I was eating a mango that was just perfect. Extremely juicy, soft, and so full of taste. As I was cutting it and then eating the rest out of my hand (as in, holding it so I could eat it to the pit), it reminded me of when I was little.
I grew up in Indonesia, and as is quite a normal thing there, we had a maid. Her name was Ira. She cooked us dinner, and peeled all the delicious fruits a country like Indonesia has on offer. I loved it all: starfruit, papaya, pineapple, rambutan, manggis… Western fruit is so boring and it gives a me red hot head, so I don't enjoy fruit as much as I used to. I mean, seriously, where's the joy in an apple? But anyway, back to the mango and to Ira. Because when Ira was in the kitchen peeling the mango, I was always right next to her. Why? Well, it wasn't that I just couldn't wait to eat a piece of mango. Oh no, it was because the best part of eating mango was when Ira finished peeling, and gave me the pit. I'd hold it with my hands, careful not to drop it (a wet juicy mango is just so slippery!), and start eating everything that was left, until there was no more fruit left on the pit.
So tonight, as I was standing in the kitchen, finishing peeling the mango, I took the pit in my hand. The juice was dripping down my arm as I was eating away. I suddenly saw myself as a little kid again, standing in the kitchen, next to Ira, eating away. It made me smile. Because 20 years later it's still tru: Eating off the pit is still the best part of eating mango!

Activated charcoal is used to create a black soap that will not come off on a washcloth and will lather white. It is non-staining and the truest black we have found for soap. Our activated charcoal is created from renewable hardwood sources. This ingredient is a must-have for every soap maker!

It was very easy to use! I love using it in layered bars.
Using Activated Charcoal in Cold Process Soap:
I decided to try Nuture soap after watching Royality soaps several times and Katie Carson saying how she loved the pigmentation of Nutures Soap's Micas. The activated charcoal was a better deal that other places and I love it. I am just starting out in soap making and have enjoyed everything that I have bought from Nuture soap so far.
I love all things Nurture Soaps and the Activated Charcoal is pitch black perfect. The only issue is the container it came in. The lid is the silver one and it doesn't close tightly enough, which caused a mess in the shipping box. I cleaned off all the bottles and packaging and kept it movin' though. 😁
I first received a sample of activated charcoal which worked well in a vp soap design. Unfortunately, I threw the packaging away and bought oxide to replace it. The difference was evident. Finally figuring out my error, I purchased the activated charcoal again and voila! See Who Dat cp soap below.

Working to provide in Granite City
GRANITE CITY — Older Adults Health Council of Madison County and Senior Services Plus are joining together to sponsor a senior health fair. The health fair will be held at the Tri-Mor Bingo Center, located at 3701 Nameoki Road in Granite City
The free event from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., Wednesday, Aug. 13, will provide information on specific services available in the area, as well as a chance to learn about various health topics. Information will be available on local resources such as: home health agencies, fitness centers, hospice agencies, adult day services, supportive and assisted living communities, counseling, independent and skilled nursing & rehab facilities, and community service organizations.
The Older Adults Health Council was formed in 2008, with various members of different local organizations all working together to assist older adults. The goal of each attendee of the Older Adult Health Council is to provide superior services to the local senior community. The purpose of the council is to offer education and information for building successful referral networks regarding senior social, personal and health services. Working together the organizations can offer complete and accurate service to seniors they serve.
"We are very excited to be bringing our Health Fair to the Granite City area," said Candice Arana, president of the Older Adults Health Council. "There are so many senior citizens living without the help they need. It is important for the (Older Adults Health Council) to bring resources to them so that they know what is available, if not for them, maybe for a friend, neighbor, or a loved one."
Free health screenings will be performed by vendors, and presentations will be provided on health topics such as the options for senior living, hearing safety guidelines, Medicare protection, the hospice concept, and understanding advanced directives. The Mississippi Valley Regional Blood Center also will have their mobile unit on site for anyone interested in giving blood during the health fair.
Visit seniorservicesplus.org for additional information or contact Senior Services Plus at 618-465-3298 extension 146.

Artist: Sofia CopeDigital abstract art printPrinted on slightly textured, high quality photo paperFrame not includedSize: 8" x 10"ARTIST'S STATEMENT"I follow all kinds of people on social media and I can't help but notice the juxtaposition of vanity and mindful living, although these two are not necessarily related. I just think it gives evidence to what we as a culture value. We live for bikini photos and yet we tend to scroll by beach cleanup announcements. I just find it interesting to juxtapose the two. What if beach cleanups were as relevant as bikini shots?
I support those who advocate the reduction of waste and conscious consumption. To me, they're the real beach hotties."

Let's chat about Squats
Somewhere, sometime ago, I read or heard that if a person does only one exercise ever then that exercise should be squats. Yes, those painful deep knee bends as the nuns called them in gym class so long ago. Or in yoga terms; chair pose. No matter what you call them they all add up to the same thing, pain.
However, what is more painful both physically and emotionally is when you do go into a squat, say to feed the dog, and then you struggle to get up the embarrassment is legion. Right? Do you feel me here?
Mostly, my favorite form of exercise is bending my elbow with seven ounces of Chardonnay, but after several embarrassing incidents of being stuck to the floor, I've decided to squat, squat, squat. I would say, squat my ass off but I already suffer from flat ass.
Where to start? Lucky me, I found the 100 squats a day challenge on Buzzfeed
Naturally, being impulsive, I started right off the bat. No bothering to measure my flat butt like I should have but at least I did start right? But how do you stick with it and make progress?
This is how I do it and maybe this will be a help to you.
Every morning, while I brush my teeth, I squat.
My toothbrush runs for something like four minutes and in that time I can proudly say I can do fifty squats. Could I do that many the first day? No effing way. Maybe I could do ten but I stopped after probably three. Today, I don't have to stop until thirty-seven-ish.
But wait you're saying that's only fifty. Well, don't you brush twice a day? Yeppers, I get the other fifty in at night. Plus I'll deep knee bend a few times while the water boils, the coffee brews and sometimes waiting for the dog to poop. (With Ollie I can get in close to forty waiting)
Did I do one hundred every day for the first week? HA! Heck no. I worked my way up after days and weeks. It's been thirty days now and the difference I feel is nothing short of amazing.
As a chronic low back and hip pain sufferer it's easy to pass on exercising because everything hurts. The paradox is though that if you exercise it hurts less. So I stuck with the squats and now, drumroll please I feel so much better all over. My hip feels new, my lower back is nearly pain free and best of all I can get up off the floor with out feeling like I'm thirty years older than I am.
What about you all? Do you love exercising? Do you hate it? Do you want to join me in the 100 squat challenge? Tell me all about it in the comments below. Let's keep chatting!
Yours in techni-color

I just came across of a post from a cool blog I've been following for a while - I guess I had never had time to visit her on Thursdays to know that this is a Thursday theme.
The question this week is :
What do you think is your best physical attribute? What do other people think is your best physical feature?
I love her red hair - and I to love my hair. It's easy to care for, and it's been the constant physical feature in my life. My weight goes up and it goes down some, not as much as up, LOL.
I also like my eyes. I'm the only one in my family with green eyes - oh except for my cute nephew Marco - he also inherited my Maternal grandmothers Green eyes.
Feel free to go participate and say it loud and clear to improve your self-esteem - give yourself a little boost.

Oil and Gas Commission Bill Clears House
By Andrea Chalfin News Dir. On April 9, 2013 · 1 Comment · In Bente Birkeland, Business/Labor, Capitol Coverage, Energy, KRCC News
Democrats at the statehouse are working on a slate of bills aimed at revamping the oil and gas industry as the legislature moves into its final few weeks. A bill that would change the mission of the state's Oil and Gas Commission cleared the full house today, despite strong Republican opposition. Bente Birkeland has more from the state capitol.
One Response to Oil and Gas Commission Bill Clears House
This is a great first step. The oil and gas industry is the ONLY industry that has a commission to 'foster' it and promote it.

I've decided I'm going to lose 40 pounds in 8 months. I know I can do it.
Let's talk about more dried beans. I soaked a cup and a half of dried pinto beans for 24 hours, then cooked them in my pressure cooker for 25 minutes. Oh. Em. Gee. I can't believe how yummy these beans are. I salted them liberally with sea salt AFTER they were done. (You can't salt them before they cook, because the salt molecules will block the water-permeable surface of the beans, preventing them from absorbing water while they cook. Thanks internet!) Plus, who knew the smell of cooking pintos would be so good? My problem is I don't know what to do with my beans. Yes, I could make chili, but come on, there has to be more out there? I guess you have your standard 'pork n beans', ham and beans, chili with beans and refried beans. I guess that is where I could start. Come to think of it…I have a bunch of corn tortillas in my fridge (did you know they store for months and months without going bad?) (Not that i have them around for months and months, because I adore corn tortillas, but anyway) and shredded chedder cheese and limes. Sounds like the making of some yummy refried beans and cheese tortillas with lime juice. When's lunch?
