Commissioner Bill Bratton did such a good job reducing the numbers of stop-and-frisks that the NYPD doesn't need the additional cops he has requested from City Hall. Instead, cops assigned to stop-and-frisk can fill the department's needs.
That is Mayor Bill de Blasio's latest rationale for not including funds for new cops in his proposed $78.3 billion budget. De Blasio's move appears to be part of the posturing that forms the city's political pas de trois among him, Bratton and City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito, which might not be resolved until the city budget is finalized in June.
The mayor's position is nonsensical. No cops are assigned to stop-and-frisk duty. They are assigned to patrol and begin stop-and-frisks at their discretion. The mayor seems caught between his anti-police campaign rhetoric that included promises of criminal justice reform and his newfound support for police after the assassinations of Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu.
He now refuses to back a proposed law that makes the use of a police chokehold a crime. When Freddie Gray died after he was detained by Baltimore cops, the mayor warned NYC protesters to obey police.
Mark-Viverito, de Blasio's progressive ally, wants 1,000 new cops. But she opposes Bratton's "broken windows" policy, a mainstay of his policing philosophy he credits with having reduced crime. It is the heart of his policing legacy. Instead, she has called for decriminalizing such low-level offenses as turnstile-jumping.
But Bratton also has been all over the map about the need for more cops. Last month, the NYPD line was that those cops would be deployed in two 350-officer task forces, one under Deputy Commissioner John Miller to fight terrorism, the second under Chief of Department James O'Neill to better patrol the precincts.
Earlier this month, Bratton said he was certain de Blasio would add the cops after Bratton's NYPD "re-engineering" report was completed. It has not been made public, but the report apparently shows the need for both task forces.
At his appearance last week before the City Council. Bratton apparently forgot to talk about O'Neill's task force and stuck only to Miller's. Perhaps like his predecessor, Ray Kelly, Bratton figures that cops on anti-terrorism duty play better than cops on patrol.

I signed my new lease in June with my new management company. The lease started Sept 1st. At the time of signing I didn't get a copy. I did verbally ask the manager when is the rent considered late with this new company. She advised it is late if not in on the 3rd. So I asked so on the 4th there is a late fee and she confirmed yes. Jump ahead to Sept, I paid online on the 3rd after attempting on the 2nd. The payment site stated this property does not allow online payments on the 2nd. I thought that's strange but was not concerned.
I went into office on Sept 6 and asked for a copy for my own records after remembering I didn't have it. Later that same day I get a notice on my door stating when I paid my rent online on the 3rd it was late and I have a $100 late fee. I was shocked and decided to read the lease cause I recalled what the manager stated in June.
There is a paragraph 2 Rent: that says "if the rent is paid after the 3rd of the month, a late charge of $100 will be due as additional rent."
However, there is a section called Additional Agreement where they added "Rent is due on the first day of the month and is late on the third"
Is this legal? Does the additional section override paragraph 2? That is what the office is saying. The leasing agent stated we go by the additional agreement. The manager said via email "Under additional agreements on your lease it says that your rent is due on the 1st and its late on the third. An additional agreement adds to / and or overrides any regular paragraphs of the lease. I hope that answers your

Quick Annual Meeting Summary
Our morning session was divided into three parts with David Tsang devoting the first to outlining the history and findings of Dan Buettner's "Blue Zones" study for National Geographic. This study focused on communities on the islands of Sardinia, Okinawa, and Ikareus, and in Costa Rica and Loma Linda, California. Dave shared the commonalities that were found for living long, happy, productive lives.
The workshop format, opportunity to share ideas, and Dave's wealth of information created one of our best Annual Meetings ever. Some said it was THE best. David Tsang's presentation earned comments such as, "David Tsang -an excellent speaker- Insightful and very well organized," and, "David Tsang was particularly good."
A more complete review of the entire day will be posted within a couple weeks.

I caught up with Jeff Chahal, the organiser/ owner of the NICE conventions recently and took the opportunity to ask him a number of questions about the history of the con and more importantly, the development of this year's con:
Q1. Could you tell us something of the history of the NICE con and why you actually started it?
The show sprung up from the signings I used to organise at the Close Encounters stores, these used to involve a number of guests at the same time (managed to squeeze in 13 guests for one at the Bedford store). These were very successful for guests and customers alike, up close and personal events which generally ended with eating and drinking.
Q2. What do you think distinguishes NICE from other UK cons?
NICE is small, it's small on purpose…we have some very big names. Like the signings that I used to organise, the show has a personal feel to it. You actually get to meet people, and I'm not talking about 'OMG I just paid £65 to meet Stan Lee' which really means I just paid £65 to stand next to an old man for about 10 seconds. No, you can have an actual conversation with creators.
Q3. One great feature of the Con is the Sketch Roulette. Could you tell us a little bit about it and also about any reaction you get from artists and attendees?
When I first announced the idea for Sketch Roulette I had a few emails/facebook messages telling me I was mad and it just wouldn't work. It's a very simple idea, you have a number of artists sketching (Quick head shots only) for up to an hour, after an hour you change the artists for a fresh set of artists. Customers are in a single queue and they get whichever artist is available when they get to the front.
Some artists loved the idea, and some didn't, overall the reception to the idea was very good.
Q4. You have probably landed the biggest guest of the UK Convention year by getting Brian K. Vaughn to come to NICE. How did you manage this, what has customers reaction been to the news and how are ticket sales going as a result of the announcement?
I get asked this every year…How did you manage to book Guest X, he/she never does any signings. Well it's simple, I ask nicely and generally guests from previous years help by recommending the show. Customers of course are very excited, the social media response has been excellent, and I seem to have some new retailer friends all of a sudden. Ticket sales are up on last year and I really can't stress enough that it's important to buy sooner than later.
The sooner we sell out the sooner we can put in to place floor management plans, just turning up on the day makes it very difficult for us to work.
Q5. Do you have any plans for Brian while he is at NICE beside the signings? For example, a talk on Saga or a Q&A or anything else?
Brian will be doing talks and Q&A sessions throughout the weekend.
Q6. We know that you are far from finished on the NICE 2015 guest list. Can we expect any more international guests beyond those you have already announced?
Yep, R.M. Guera will be joining us this September and I'm still working on a few other people.
Q6. Nice has grown considerably from its first incarnation. Do you have plans to continue to grow the event or indeed any other long term plans for NICE?
My plan is to manage the venue I have and produce the best show I can, I don't want a monster show, and it's about quality not quantity.
Q7. Finally, what are the two most important things you would say to UK convention attendees to make them want to attend NICE?
Ummmmmmmmmmm two things?? If you love comic art and talking about comics, this is the show for you. If you want a show that's not going to drain you financially for autographs and bottles of water, but still has the big names…
Thanks Jeff. We'll see you in September

Hey there!
I've got something to share with you all!
A few of my friends have been commenting that the wiki's for Hex are all out of date and some filled with so many ads (if you don't have adblock). They kinda persuaded me to get working on a wiki for Hex!
This is an unofficial wiki (ofc) and it's run by me and several members of the community. KingGabriel, Ristarrel and Tadaaki were the first players to really help out.
Obviously, it's not complete, but we've been working to make it presentable to the community, and we feel that it is like that now!
You can find the wiki we're working on here - http://wiki.hex4newbies.com/index.php?title=Main_Page
What we'd like is for members of the community to come join in and help us keep it up to date.
What you can do:
- You need to create an account to make content this is just an anti-spam measure.
- Everything except the front page can be edited/created by you guys! If you feel like changing the Front page, leave a note in the discussion page.
- For the time being, content you make needs to be approved by one of our mod teams. However once we see a person making a lot of articles, we'll remove that restriction on him/her.
We'll find ways to give some rewards to people that really help!
This is all about helping Hex, so I hope that people join in!

Rome. A city rebuilt upon itself. Layer upon layer of ancient history, stacked on top of more ancient ruins. Not to be too stereotypically Italian, but it really is like a homemade lasagna with its layers of pasta, ricotta, and sauce, layered again and again over hundreds of years. Walking through Rome, it is so easy to just stumble upon old ruins. What I found to be most interesting was that some of those ruins didn't even have a plaque explaining its significance. It is simply an uncovered piece of history laying between a few contemporary buildings. Its beauty was almost too much to comprehend. On our final day in Rome, my small group stopped to take a look around a church. On our walk back, Brittany said to me, "I love how we are just taking a casual stroll by the Colosseum." She was so right! It almost becomes too easy to take all of this majestic history for granted after all that we have seen and done in the last 3.5 weeks.
As our time in Rome comes to a close, I realize how much I will miss this city. I will miss strolling through the ancient Forum where an entire civilization used to "hang". I will miss making wishes in the Trevi Fountain. I will miss learning so much within the walls of Vatican City. I will miss standing outside Russell Crowe's hotel, waiting for a gladiator sighting. But most importantly, I will miss our evening walks past the Pantheon headed straight for Giolitti's.
More than missing Rome and the gelato, I will miss Europe as a whole. Traveling has allowed me to examine the American culture from a distance. I found plenty of differences between our culture versus the Europeans, some negative and some positive. One thing I certainly appreciate about the Europeans, especially Italians, is the way they take a nice long time to sit and enjoy their dinner. So often in America, we barely sit down to scarf down our food before we run off to our next task. Forget having time to converse with family or friends. The dinners of CR were one of my favorite parts of the day. They would often linger on for 2-3 hours. During this time, we would share with each other every aspect of our day and the interesting things we learned about the city and ourselves. I think Americans could learn a great lesson on the tradition of coming together at the end of the day and having great conversations over a meal.
But what I will miss most is not spending every waking minute with the CR familia. I could probably write an entire blog post over each individual on CR and how they impacted my experience and how much their friendship means to me. Writing this blog now, I am suddenly aware of how close we have all become. We could laugh, cry, or make the silliest jokes, all with full confidence that another person would be right there in the moment with us. While CR has come to a close, I am so eager to see what the future holds for CR10. But what is most exciting is that we still have three years together to strengthen our relationships and build on top of what we have started.
CR10… We came. We saw. We conquered.
Veni. Vidi. Vici.

I think many of you will be very appreciative of this particular vlog video, as it goes over how your roles you choose in life and the roles given to you in life all make a difference in other people's lives, make you that much closer to your overall purpose – and by purpose, I mean the one thing that is much more than the external wishes. The things that you aim for that effect other people in a positive way. We all have roles, some have more than others and we might not always have a choice in what roles we have but we have a choice in what direction we choose to use those roles and how they effect people in our circle/lives. Sometimes we ask our-self what is our purpose, how do I fulfill my purpose, when do I know when to fulfill and it and it isn't always clear to us in the beginning but the more roles you take on and remove from your life, it becomes more clear to you how you want others to view you, how you want people to respond to you and how certain roles can hinder your purpose in life.
In this particular video, I give you examples of two different kind of roles we have in this life and explain to you how to see your purpose and how to view your life from now on, from this day forward. I hope many of you will watch this video, as this is something I came up with on my own time and without a script to go on, be patient with me as I speak to you & share this video among friends, family, peers, social media.. because I want more people to be inspired and to look at their purpose in this way!
Thank you for your time, enjoy the video.

Spain's jobless total falls in May
The number of registered job seekers in Spain fell in May as more firms hired people on a temporary basis ahead of the peak summer season.
Official statistics showed 4.89 million people were registered as jobless, the lowest level in six months.
Including the impact of temporary holiday hiring, the number of registered job seekers fell by 98,265.
"It's the best data we've seen since the crisis began," said Industry Minister Jose Manuel Soria.
Mr Soria said the non-seasonally adjusted drop was the biggest on record for May.
However, on a seasonally-adjusted basis, the number of jobless dropped by just 265 people compared with April.
The ministry did not provide a fresh estimate for the country's unemployment rate.
Last week, the European Commission's statistics office, Eurostat, said Spain's unemployment rate for April was 26.8%, the second-highest in the eurozone after Greece.
Spain, which is the eurozone's fourth-largest economy, has seen its jobless rate rise every quarter since mid-2011 as it struggles to recover from the collapse in its once-booming property sector.
Earlier this month, credit rating agency Fitch said it expected Spain's unemployment rate to peak early next year at 28.5%.
The Spanish government itself is more optimistic, forecasting the jobless rate will ease to 26.7% over 2014 and drop back further to 25% in 2015.

Drama thrives on the weaknesses of its characters, but what can we make of a hero who suffers from narcolepsy? At precisely those moments when he is called to rise to the occasion, he goes to sleep.
He misses most of the crucial developments in his own life, and must depend on the kindness of strangers even to pull him out of the middle of the road.
Mike Waters, the young drifter played by River Phoenix in Gus Van Sant's "My Own Private Idaho," is a narcoleptic. To those who do not understand the disorder, it appears that he must be on drugs, or mentally deficient, or from another planet. His condition has given him a certain dreamy detachment; there is no use getting too deeply involved in events you may end up sleeping through. Mike works as a male prostitute, and it goes without saying that narcolepsy is not an asset in his line of work.
Watching the film, I was reminded of Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment, in which Raskolnikov, the murderer of the old lady, suffers from epileptic seizures. He has some of the same moods and traits as Mike Waters does here: Both live in unreal worlds, detached from the ordinary progress of time by their conditions. In a sense, their own lives are so elusive that what they do to the lives of others is not very meaningful. Mike is like a holy fool or a clown, and his only real attachment is to Scott Favor (Keanu Reeves), another hustler.
One comes from a rich family, the other from poverty.
Neither background would account for the strange existence they now share, drifting through the automobiles and bedrooms of strangers, acting out fantasy roles, spending long hours in coffee shops, smoking and talking and killing time.
The characters have been compared by one critic to Prince Hal and Falstaff - to the errant heir and his lowlife companion. It's the strangest thing. Here is a movie about lowlife sexual outlaws, and yet they remind us of works by Shakespeare or Dostoyevsky, not William Burroughs or Andy Warhol. Maybe that's because Van Sant is essentially making a human comedy here, a story that may be sad and lonely in parts but is illuminated by the insight that all experience is potentially ridiculous; that if we could see ourselves with nough detachment, some of the things we take with deadly seriousness might seem more than faintly absurd.
The movie takes place in Portland, Ore., and the open spaces of the Pacific Northwest - the same territory covered by "Drugstore Cowboy," Van Sant's previous picture. Again he is looking into the lives of outlaws on the road. Life centers around who you get a ride from, where you spend the night, how much money you have in your pocket. There are no long-range plans.
Mike and Scott meet a variety of clients, including one who likes his apartment kept very, very clean. They encounter a young woman from Italy. They find themselves in Italy. It is almost hallucinatory, how one can be in Idaho today and Italy tomorrow, and have no money in either place, but if you make an object out of yourself, then people with more money and stronger wills are able to take you wherever they choose.
Although the central characters are prostitutes, the movie is not really about sex, which does not interest either Mike or Scott very much. What Mike wants is love, and by love what he really means is someone to hold him and care for him. He was deeply damaged as a child, and now he seeks shelter; it is a matter of indifference whether he finds it with a man or a woman. The achievement of this film is that is wants to evoke that state of drifting need, and it does. There is no mechanical plot that has to grind to a Hollywood conclusion, and no contrived test for the heroes to pass; this is a movie about two particular young men, and how they pass their lives.

The Unofficial RTC ACC SuperlativesPosted by Lathan Wells on March 11th, 2014
While the more official hardware is beginning to be handed out, like Player and Coach of the Year and the All-ACC team's, it's worth looking at some more under-the-radar superlatives that players and coaches have earned through the course of the regular season on the precipice of ACC Tournament time in Greensboro.
Here are five awards that RTC found to be equally as important as some of their more official brethren:
Most Selfless Upperclassman: Joe Harris, Virginia.
His scoring dipped more than four points a game from a year ago as he watched Malcolm Brogdon become the go-to scorer and clutch player on the team, plummeting from preseason ACC Player of the Year prognostications seemingly from the first game's opening tip. Nonetheless, Harris' willingness to play team ball and enlarge his leadership role helped Virginia to their first outright ACC Title in 33 years and a current two-seed projection in the NCAA's. Harris is a senior, so it's rare for a player to back off in his final season and allow team success to trump personal statistics. Harris is still a force, but now knows he can operate in the background to help his team's season become even more special.
Best Coaching Job Outside of Charlottesville: Roy Williams, North Carolina.
Tony Bennett absolutely deserved the COY award for his unbelievable reclamation job with Virginia, but no one dealt with more adversity this year than Williams. Between the PJ Hairston and Leslie McDonald saga, the academics issues brought to light by a former adviser, and the up-and-down start to the year with no set rotation and inconsistent effort, Williams had a ton on his plate in trying to get this team into postseason play. The Tar Heels won 12 conference games in a row, including a split with rival Duke, and own possibly the best non-conference wins of any team in the country. It's arguably Williams' best coaching job in Chapel Hill to date.Best "Get Off Me" Win of the Season: Maryland.
Through the second tilt of ACC games, no team received more taunts than Maryland, who were dealt "ACC! ACC!" taunts throughout relating to their exit next year for the Big Ten. So in the Terrapins' final ACC game, all they did was defeat the conference's best team in Virginia in College Park. While Virginia had already sewn up the conference's top seed, this was still a major win for Mark Turgeon's squad to build off of, and a nice little send-off to opposing fan bases that felt betrayed by a longtime member's exit and constantly let the Terrapins hear about it.
Most Stoic ACC Star:Tie: London Perrantes, Virginia, and Tyler Ennis, Syracuse.
These guys show zero emotion during a game, which translates to frustration for those trying to analyze if they know whether they're truly invested in winning or losing, but is paramount to their success running two of the best teams in the nation. Both had fantastic assist-to-turnover ratio's, and both can argue they are the most indispensable player on their team. The cool demeanor each shows on the court is a big reason why both of these teams should be successful come NCAA Tournament time even if games are tight late. Ennis is more heralded, but Perrantes runs the conference's top team. Two truly remarkable freshman point guards.
Best Reaction To A Benching: Rasheed Sulaimon, Duke.
Talk of Sulaimon's reduced role and inability to coexist with Jabari Parker and Rodney Hood hit a crescendo when he didn't log a single minute in the Blue Devils' matchup with Michigan in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. Talk quieted shortly thereafter, as not only did Sulaimon reemerge as a threat (hitting the critical three that took Syracuse to overtime in New York and the one that sealed the win over Virginia), but the team has looked better down the stretch with him handling the ball than true point guard Quinn Cook. That's the way to respond to tough love from your demanding head coach.

Today's outfit features one of my most favorite dresses in my wardrobe and it is from Banana Republic. I have also worn it (differently) another time this summer, for a TV Interview, but I had such a busy and tiring day that day that I didn't have time to photograph the outfit. I love the subtle brown-on-brown Polka Print that this beautiful silk dress has. It is a classic and womanly style with a little bit of an empire waist which in my current situation, helped. And since my bust is currently quite more ample than usual, a camisole underneath it is a must so I paired it with a bright, contrasting color. The shoes (who also have polka dots) match the two colors in my outfit. I added another print to the mix: a little bit of Leopard (my bracelet).
Hope your weekend was fun, bright and enjoyable!! =)
Short-Sleeve, Empire-Waist, Polka-Dot, Silk Brown Dress: Banana Republic.
Hot Pink Stretchy Nylon Camisole w/ Lace Trim: White House Black Market.
Skinny, Silver Rectangle, Drop Earrings w/ a Smoke-Gray Stone in the Middle: White House Black Market.
Leopard-Print, Plastic Bangle: Forever 21.
Ivory & Camel, Faux-Leather Headband with Double Bows (off the Side): Bijoux & Accessories.
Beige, Peep-Toe Wedges w/ Different Colorful Dots: Il Cammino.

She wasn't my New York girl. She was my game changer.
Claire Contreras delivers another solid and emotionally satisfy love story in The Player. The story is pretty straightforward. Warren Silva meets Camila and is instantly intrigued by her. She's a Dominican girl living in an apartment in Washington that's about to be torn down by the same developer that Warren has a stake in.
Camila is understandably wary of Warren. She couldn't understand why a famous footballer like him would be interested in a girl like her. They live in two different worlds and from what Camila can see, they have nothing in common. But Warren is persistent. He's willing to prove to her that they have something worth exploring, and when Warren puts his mind to something, he won't stop until he gets it.
I adored both Camila and Warren. They're both flawed and layered characters. Camila has this quiet strength and an iron will beneath her shy exterior. And Warren is just divine. In my mind, I assumed he'd be this asshole hero who's going to give Camila grief. Boy, was I wrong. Warren was a sweetheart. He has his moments. And he's made some questionable choices but what I never questioned was his feelings for our heroine. What can I say? War delivered. And he delivered big.
Aside from the characters, this book took its time to show readers the stages of Camila and Warren's relationship, from the first meeting to their first date, to meeting parents, etc. I adored reading about them. I appreciate how Claire Contreras took her time building the relationship between Camila and Warren thus making me care about what happens to them as a couple.
Another thing I also liked is how the author was able to show, not just tell the reader about their contrasting lifestyle, affirming Camila's worries. It also showed readers the pitfalls of getting involved with athletes and the sacrifices it entails. I was struck by Warren's loneliness despite being surrounded by people all the time. Reading those chapters filled me with anxiety but in a good way.
I also liked the portrayal of Camila's family. They were far from perfect but they feel so authentic and real. And their inclusion made me understand Camila's character more.
There were a few reveals in the book that really surprised me. Looking back, I should have seen it but I was so entranced by Warren and Camila that I did not notice Claire sneaking those clues here and there. I totally missed those clues.
I finished this book with a huge smile of my face. That epilogue was perfection. It ties up very nicely with the opening scene, bringing everything full circle.

Christ is risen! Our journey through Great Lent and Holy Week has again brought us to Pascha, the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. "Pascha" translated means "Passover," and indeed we Christians believe we pass from death to life by putting our faith in Jesus Christ and becoming His disciples.
Throughout the Holy Week especially, we prayed with intensity during the liturgical services, listening to powerful, penetrating words that explained not only the drama of Christ's Passion but also our own human drama—the story of our estrangement from God and the path to life He opened for us by His death on the Cross. (Listen to the Choir sing the beautiful Ode 9 from the Canon for Matins of Holy Saturday, sung on Holy Friday night:)
One of my favorite texts from all the services comes from the so-called "Catechetical Sermon of St. John Chrysostom," a fourth-century bishop and preacher, which is read Pascha night, during Matins:
"Let no one fear death, for the Savior's death has set us free. He that was held prisoner of it has annihilated it. By descending into Hell, He made Hell captive. He embittered it when it tasted of His flesh. And Isaiah, foretelling this, did cry: Hell, said he, was embittered, when it encountered Thee in the lower regions. It was embittered, for it was abolished. It was embittered, for it was mocked. It was embittered, for it was slain. It was embittered, for it was overthrown. It was embittered, for it was fettered in chains. It took a body, and met God face to face. It took earth, and encountered Heaven. It took that which was seen, and fell upon the unseen.
O Death, where is your sting? O Hell, where is your victory? Christ is risen, and you are overthrown. Christ is risen, and the demons are fallen. Christ is risen, and the angels rejoice. Christ is risen, and life reigns. Christ is risen, and not one dead remains in the grave. For Christ, being risen from the dead, is become the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. To Him be glory and dominion unto ages of ages. Amen"
In gratitude for Christ's great gift, let us invite Him to live in us, to give us His new nature, His new life. Let us die to our own egotistical and selfish tendencies, and follow Him in obedience and humility.
Then, indeed He will be risen in us!
Your Pastor, Father Steven

God does NOT punish you when you sin!.
I found this article on the internet… I had an ah-ha moment. I've always wondering and thought about this.
God does NOT punish you when you sin!.
I found this article on the internet… I had an ah-ha moment. I've always wondering and thought about this.
So lately I've had a lot of hurt and aggression in my heart towards a lot of people. I know that's not the right thing to do because the Bible says in Mathew 18:15-17. I should go to the person in private and deal with whatever issues we have.
I'm all for that. I believe I've come to know myself more that I should and can be able to stand up for myself.
But what if it doesn't solve the problem and just creates a bigger one? What if you can't tell a person that they have hurt your feelings or said something about you that just isn't true?
How important is it really that we get people to see us for who we are and not their perception or how important is it that "our" side of the story is known? Or that we let the people know they are a gossip?
I'm a sensitive person who tends to feel the need to always explain myself or tell my side. My husband is completely opposite, he's one of those "they talked about Jesus" people so why care what people say behind your back.
I guess i'm old fashioned because I feel as though if you can smile in my face or tell me you love me, you shouldn't be speaking bad about me behind my back under any circumstances. Whatever issues we have "WE" fix them.
I'm not really sure who reads my blogs but if you recognize yourself let's do lunch and work this out, grown people style. It actually hurts me to know that you aren't being yourself around me.
Peace and Love,
Do you remember in high school wanting to be around the popular kids? Or wanting to fit in with the "right group?" Well, I actually never had the problem because the town I went to high school was my hometown so I had lots of family there and I mean lots of family. So because they belonged to so many different groups it was easy to just hang with any of them and be in whatever group I felt like being with. (I had my own group though Scilla, and Shunda)!!!
So then I went away to the military (yes I was active duty for a short while) and guess what because of my winning personality,(I think it may have been because I had big boobs) I was once again with the popular group. Unfortunately this is when I learned that being popular is not the most important thing in life and having everyone like you can blow up in your face in a heartbeat. It taught me alot though, and I did walk away with some lifelong friends.
So now here I am older and once again I thought I had been accepted into the "popular" crowd, until I got in and realized it wasn't for me. I couldn't be me, to much drama and then I realized that I am a horrible follower.
You would have thought that by now acceptance wouldn't be that important to me. Well, NOW it isn't (that much) but feeling like you are apart of something does make you feel as though life is good, no matter what you are apart of.
In learning myself though I realized I'm an Alpha. I dance to the beat of my own drum, I like to hold court and make the rules. That's a hard thing to say when coming into someone else's circle but I've accepted that part of me. So if that means I hold court alone then so be it, if I dance alone that's okay also, and I guess I'll just have to follow my own set of rules by myself. But I do know that I will never lower my standards, self-esteem, or anything else about myself to be accepted on anyone else's terms. I'm too important and too valuable for that.
Acceptance isn't everything unless you are accepting yourself.
Peace and Love
When I first thought about writing a blog, I wanted it to be profound and thought provoking. I wanted it to change the world, I wanted people to stand around the water cooler in the mornings and talk about how what I had wrote inspired them.
I didn't know that first you had to get someone to read your blog first. (sad face) Then I thought about how much of myself I wanted to reveal about myself. How did I want the world to perceive me, smart or funny, artistic or very serious or what.
Then I realized that there is no amount of words that can describe who I am, and if I wanted a story to be told about me, well then I should tell it.
So while I was taking my shower, using new organic products to help with my 8 year battle with Insomnia, I had an epiphany. Open myself up. Bare it all and learn all that I can about me and finally learn not to care what others think or say about me. It's about time too, I mean I am 31 years old.
Knowing yourself is something I feel like we should all strive to know. It speaks volumes of who you are and how you will carry yourself because you will always know to be true to yourself.
So I hope I'm able to figure out whom me, myself, and I are so that I can be the best me I can be.
Peace and Love
I am making myself go grey.
I worry about everything. I can't help it. Relaxing is something I enjoy physically but nothing I've been able to enjoy mentally in years.
They say stress is a necessary part of life. It helps for creativity, learning and survival skills. It's only harmful when it becomes overwhelming.
Well, then just call me an overwhelming walking stress ball because that's what you get from me on a daily basis. The smallest thing will send me over the edge for days.
I've tried everything!! I used to drink, I meditate, I pray, exercise, anything and everything you can think of to control your stress level, I've tried it.
So from this point I've just decided to just embrace that me and stress go hand and hand. The only thing I can control is how I allow it to control me.
I'll try not to but hey…. it's life what can you do?
How do you control your stress?
Peace and Love
Everyday I get on the internet and try and read everything I can about everything. (One day I will tell you the story why) today, I came across a harmless article about pods, you know the detergent pods.
Well being the person that I am I use nothing but Tide, that's what my mother uses and as far as all the commercials and price it's the best. So imagine my surprise when the best detergent pod was Kirkland brand pods (which is Costco's store brand).
That got me to thinking. How many other things have I not used or people have I not hung out with or pushed to the side because of my initial "perception" of them?
In this world we look at pretty people and automatically think and feel some sort of way about them. Some think they are stuck up, some think they are good people because they are "pretty'. We look at people we perceive not to be attractive and think that they may be someone we can push over, or that they may be mean because of their unattractiveness.
Perception is, in my opinion, the one thing that is every human has as a weakness. We think we know when we actually have no idea (thanks MTV).
But is there really a way to change the way we see everything? I'm black american and if I see another black american walking with their pants sagging then yes I automatically think negative thoughts or if a white person looks at me strangely, I automatically think that they think less of me. Perception…
I would love to stop over thinking things and people and to take them exactly how they are and nothing more. So I'll start with the woman in the mirror and hope more people do the same.
Peace and Love

Can help provide Income replacement in any event that your income is interrupted by a major illness or terminal illness.
Most people purchase life insurance to provide a legacy of financial security at the time of their death. Life insurance is a powerful financial tool that can be used to meet many needs. Most commonly, to provide financial resources to the beneficiaries in event of the death of the insured. But how do you protect against an unforeseen illness? Doesn't it make sense for the benefits to be extended and be available for the difficult financial times they have to face if a critical or terminal illness precedes death? This is precisely what Living Benefits provide. The industry calls the benefit an "Accelerated Death Benefit Rider." We refer to it as real Living Benefits life insurance when it allows for the insured to file a claim or take an advance against their death benefit during difficult times when they are suffering from a serious illness.More information is available.
Life insurance You don't have to Die to Use!
Quality of Life plan can help during the financial impact of a serious illness.
•Provide an income tax-free death benefit for the people who depend on you
•Defer taxes as your accumulated cash value grows
•Potentially access that cash value using income tax-free policy loans and withdrawals, to use for retirement income or other needs
That permanent life insurance not only helps protect your beneficiaries, it also allows you to build cash value that can potentially be used in a tax-advantaged manner?
•Cash value that can be used during lifetime, through policy loans and withdrawals, to provide a tax-free retirement income
•Accelerated Benefit Riders allow access to the death benefit during lifetime in the event of a Terminal, Chronic or Critical illness

The product claims that it
- Deeply exfoliates to reveal smooth skin
- Deep cleans, instantly leaving skin smooth and glowing
- Instantly reveals skin's natural radiance
- Made with 100% natural exfoliants like walnut shell powder
- High exfoliation scrub factor level
- Hypoallergenic & Paraben free
- Dermatologist tested & non-comedogenic (meaning it doesn't block your pores).
And my take on the product
- This is a great product *IF* you need it. I would not recommend this for people who don't need it or who have tender skin, because it's really rough in texture.
- But for those that need something like this, that rough texture is all that you need to achieve healthy looking, glowy skin.
- My favorite part is that it uses all natural ingredients, rather than those synthetic beads that are harmful to the environment. That's better for your skin anyway. 🙂
- St. Ives has a bunch of good products, and imo, they beat out a lot of the higher end products when it comes to caring for specific skin issues like acne or uneven skin tone.

Political gift culture refuses to die
With almost breathless speed, two of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's most recent cabinet appointments, trade minister Yuko Obuchi and justice minister Midori Matsushima, resigned after it was revealed they violated political funding laws. Matsushima's downfall, which revolves around her free distribution of uchiwa (round fans) to voters, may have as much to do with political expediency as with breaking rules, but Obuchi's use of funds earmarked for public use to purchase gifts and supplement recreational outings for supporters was clearly illegal.
Which isn't to say it's not common. As one anonymous veteran of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party — to which Obuchi belongs — told Tokyo Shimbun, the Gunma lawmaker's problematic actions used to be a fairly normal practice in the Diet. Obuchi is accused of using her political funds, which come from taxpayers in the form of seito kofukin (political party subsidies), revenues from tickets sold for fund-raising get-togethers, and donations from individuals and groups, to supplement "theater tours" for her supporters. Obuchi's supporters each paid ¥10,000-¥12,000 to go to Meiji-za in Tokyo to enjoy a day of stage performances. However, in her required political funds report there was an obvious discrepancy. Since 2007, the amount received from supporters for these excursions totaled ¥11.9 million, and it is deemed they cost more than ¥60 million to carry out, with the difference being ¥53.3 million that came from Obuchi's funds.
The veteran says that such jaunts for supporters were normally arranged directly by the politician's staff, but ever since the law became more thoroughly enforced, lawmakers have entrusted the job to travel agencies so as to divert the trail of money.
In her own defense, Obuchi professed that she didn't know much about the tours, and while such naivete is perhaps understandable for someone still so relatively new to the game, it must be pointed out that she "inherited," as it were, her father Keizo Obuchi's constituency when he died in 2000, and that included his political fund reserves of ¥120 million, not to mention the "sources" of that money, meaning Gunma individuals and groups who counted on him to see to their interests. It also means she took on his staff, who obviously should have known better.
But theater tickets to see some over-priced enka star isn't the most of it. What really indicated Obuchi's ignorance over her risky exposure to scandal was the use of political funds to purchase gifts, a lot of gifts. Former politician and current Keio University professor Yoshihiro Katayama expressed surprise to Tokyo Shimbun when he heard about the scandal. "Are they still doing that?" he asked wryly with regard to political gift-giving.
Though the media focus was on infant goods and accessories from a store owned by her brother-in-law, the funds report also includes mentions of cigars, gift coupons, exotic foods, an expensive stole and ¥685,000 worth of clothing by designer Jun Ashida. All these items were purchased at expensive Ginza department stores and earmarked as kosaihi (entertainment expenses), which is usually code for "gifts," though, apparently, some of the items Obuchi bought for herself. If she offered these items as gifts to people within her constituency it would constitute a separate crime. When it is all added up over the years, the money spent on these items comes to more than ¥100 million, which apparently isn't a big deal for Obuchi's camp. In 2012 alone she took in ¥180 million.
Gift-giving is a common custom in Japan that comes with its own set of priorities. Usually, gifts are offered to superiors — bosses, teachers — in the hope that the recipient will do well by the giver in the future. It's why people slip a surgeon a box of pastries with ¥100,000 tucked inside to make sure he does his best when he operates on the gift-giver. Japan's election and political funding laws are very strict about such gifts, since by the very nature of the gesture the giver expects something in return.
As Tokyo Shimbun pointed out, the supporters who partook of the theater tours probably felt they deserved the gesture because of their support and certainly didn't think there was anything wrong about it. But the fact is, there are even strict rules regarding compensation for campaign workers. A candidate can provide lunch only if it is prepackaged and each volunteer gets the exact same item as the next volunteer. And it all has to be written down.
That's why Matsushima's uchiwa were such a problem. She was essentially buying votes. But Obuchi's use of gifts is baffling since she seemed to be giving them to friends and family, as well as to herself and her children. There didn't seem to be any expectation of returned favors, so the only explanation is ignorance, which, to some people, is even worse than venality.
In any case, political funds are only supposed to be used for political activities, not personal fulfilment. A politician who doesn't understand how to break the rules without getting caught isn't a politician at all.

October 17, 2017
Back in May 2017, my friend Amid Moradganjeh called and asked me whether WATTx would be interested in collaborating with the newly established interaction design program in Tallinn, Estonia, which he is currently leading, which I said yes to. So in the beginning of October I was already on my way to Tallinn to meet the students, explain our mission and processes at WATTx, and align on the course and goals for the project.
Here at WATTx we strongly believe in the power of creative minds, teamwork, as well as collaboration with our industry partners. This is the reason we initiated a cooperation with the MA students in Interaction Design of Estonian Academy of Arts, located in Tallinn. The goal of this project is to explore the field of the industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) from a design point of view.
We highly value such collaborations, as they contribute to our internal idea box, helping us shape stronger concepts and improve our content. We aim at getting inspired by the creativity of the students and hope to be able to use their ideas in our process of building new products and services in the future.
The goal of this project is to identify problem areas and opportunities in manufacturing, and later prototype correspondent solutions that address those problematics using IoT-technology.
In Estonia, manufacturing is the main field of economic activity, providing 15.8% of the GDP. The same applies to Germany and many other European countries. Hence, there is a huge market potential in improving current industrial processes and designing future experiences that match user needs, which is also the reason why WATTx wants to explore this whole sector of the economy.
Throughout the 6-week-long project, the IxD students will conduct desktop research, go out in the field and speak with relevant stakeholders, and spend time understanding the way the industry works at the moment, its internal processes, as well as existing bottlenecks. Furthermore, the students will learn how to apply human-centered design that targets industry-related processes, and understand people's psychology behind it; conduct user interviews and testing to grasp the underlying problematics and potential derived design principles; expand opportunities for identified users that need improvement; learn about existing manufacturing technologies, their limitations and opportunities; and envision how the future of manufacturing might look like.
The IxD studio program aims at working on real projects together with industry partners, ongoing involvement with the design community, industry professionals and general public.
We are looking forward to seeing the outcomes of the project in the beginning of December. Stay tuned for more!

I am fine! I thought to myself as I made my way over to the Self Help section of Barnes and Noble to pick up a copy of Gretchen Rubin's The Happiness Project: Or Why I spent a Year Trying to Sing in the Morning, Clean My Closets, Fight Right, Read Aristotle, and Generally Have More Fun. I was dragging my feet and stopping at almost every shelf as I made my way to that corner of the building. Then, when I couldn't find the book and had to ask for help finding it, I almost died of embarrassment. For some reason my mind was telling me that self help books are only for people who actually need help. I'm obviously not one of those people. Yes, I recently had a dark moment in my career, but I had fixed that on my own, darn it. I have a great marriage and a wonderful house and great puppies. I exercise four to five times a week; I read books; I'm in a book club; I sponsor the writing club at my school; I journal everyday and I spend time doing the things that make me happy.
I obviously don't even need to read this book, I thought to myself and lamented several times to my husband when I brought it home. Well, we all have to be wrong sometimes, and I definitely was. So much for my pride in knowing myself.
Well, for a book that I DIDN'T NEED AT ALL, I must say that I was transfixed. I read slowly, highlighting, underlining, and sticky-noting those places that most spoke to me. The premise is that Gretchen Rubin, during a commute, realized that she wasn't as happy as she thought she should be. This thought sparked research on happiness and whether or not one could make themselves happier.
While I wasn't exactly the most ready and willing audience, I can tell you that something about Rubin's writing style put me at ease. She wasn't preaching at me, she was talking to me over a cup of coffee, coaxing out of me some of the most important things about myself that I didn't want to admit to. It also helped when she told the reader that she had absolutely nothing to be unhappy about. That's when I realized that maybe this wouldn't be as useless as I originally thought. She has a husband whom she shares a great marriage with, two daughters that are healthy and happy, a career that she loves, and supportive extended family.
At this point, you're probably asking yourself what in the world would cause her to want to be happier, and I must say that it didn't take me long to figure it out. One phrase that is oft repeated is her Third Splendid Truth, The days are long, but the years are short. How often do we rush through, wondering where the time has gone but wishing the time we have away. I've been very guilty of that recently with all of the snow days. I just want spring to come back. When we're in July, I'll probably be lamenting the heat. The remedy was to start a Happiness Project, where Rubin sets out to do things that she knows, based on research, will help her be happier. Each month is broken down into ways that she will make herself happier.
January: Boost EnergyIn January she focuses on going to bed earlier, exercising better, organizing her life, tackling nagging tasks, and acting more energetic. The last one is the one that has most stuck with me, because "we presume that we act because of the way we feel, in fact we often feel because of the way we act" (35).
On Friday morning, I was frustrated because I hadn't slept well, I was worried I was getting sick, and my head was not only sore from the headache I had the day before, but it was still pounding away. I wanted to be obnoxious about it; I wanted to really vent my frustrations, but the annoying voice in my head said "Act the way you want to feel" and I had to listen to it. Simple sayings like this have saved me from many an annoyed moment. Obviously, I have been converted.
Another month that really spoke to me was June: Make Time for Friends. In June, she focused on remembering birthdays, being generous, showing up, not gossiping, and making three new friends.
Truth time: I am horrible at making new friends. I have said on several occasions that I do not like making new friends because I barely have time for the ones that I have currently. Plus, I like my friends and would hate to mess up a good thing. Wrong again, so this is something that I am going to work on. Another thing from this month that really had an impact on me is "Don't Gossip." I'm a really sneaky gossiper. I do it in a way that makes it sound like concern, which there is a lot of, but I still gossip and I shouldn't. This year for Lent, I'm giving up gossiping, and I hope it lasts for all time. I don't want to be the kind of person who talks about others, and I know that it doesn't make me happy. Out with the gossip!
Most of the chapters had something really important to say to me, which is why this review is so long. Her tone was always friendly, not judgmental, and she always gave both good examples from her own experiences and bad examples. She showed herself as human, and that was up-lifting. No one wants to read about someone who never messes up; it's unrealistic.
The only thing I didn't really care for in the book was about half way through when she started adding in some of the comments from her blog. I saw some of the value in it, but I didn't read it. I skipped over those parts because they seemed to jar me out of the story. This is one of those books that stays with you, and I'm even thinking about starting my own happiness project.

David Mohr - Artist, Jim Casaburo- Everyday Stars (D-11)
David Mohr
Jim Casaburo
Jim Casaburo is a selfless and kind man, uncommon in many ways. A business owner and operator, he uses his blessing to bless others. He and his family have quietly supported many local charitable functions that primarily serve our underserved youth. Jason Baker, a friend who considers Jim a philanthropic inspiration, and whose charity has benefitted greatly from his blessings, asked him "How can you manage to help to many so much?" His response was quite simple..."It's the right thing to do."
Most notably, he gives his time and resources to make the young people struggling with cancer or surviving cancer at Camp Whatchawannado smile and laugh each summer. Along with that, he maintains a close relationship with many of those who attend the camp and aids in their comfort, hoping to make each day brand new and bearable as they struggle with cancer and its treatments. To many, Jim Casaburo is a guardian angel and helps them to think things possible when others won't.
From JR Norfleet, a camp attendee who suffers from a form a lung cancer: "There is always that one person God put in your life that helps guide you through your worries, some people call them good friends, but to me they are guardian angels and Jim Casaburo has been my guardian angel in my life. I know God has sent Jim to me for a reason."

"Watteau is the artist of the wistful - of that longing for the unattainable. To call him a witness to the wistful sounds somewhat contrived, yet he was a perpetual onlooker. He was a sickly man, who died young - not long after he painted this picture. He never "belonged," and that sense of alienation is evident. Outsider though he was, he painted scenes of social merrymaking, especially portrayals of that zany and exhilarating company, the commedia dell'arte. Like Bustelli, who was enthralled by these actors, Watteau responded in depth to their grace, but in his case, there is always an undertone of sadness. In Mezzetin, the wistful has deepened into the sorrowful. Mezzetin was a comic character, the valet, a buffoon who never got the girl. Dress up though he might, he always failed; and the rest of the cast laughed him to scorn.
"Watteau shows Mezzetin in a stage set, with an obvious backdrop behind him. The woman in the picture typically has her back to him - but she is only a statue, and as a painted statue (this is only a backdrop, remember), she is all the more remote from reality. Watteau plays off that exquisite remoteness against the actuality of Mezzetin. When we get past the beauty of those clothes, and the silly rosettes and the funny hat, we encounter a strong male animal - and a creature in pain. Look at the nervous passion of his fingers as they play the guitar; the vigorous shoulders turned away in longing; the bull neck flushed; and the five o'clock shadow on the big red face. It takes time to look past the vivid physicalities of the scene and register the personal sorrow. Watteau seems to be questioning whether the situation is, after all, so hilarious. He asks us also, I think, to consider the differences between the way we are seen, the way we present ourselves, and the way we really are. These are questions that have no answers, but Watteau poses them with a startling poignancy."
