This place has gathered a whole heck of a lot of dust over the months (ahem, year+). Sadly, life took over and somehow I lost sight of this space. If this microphone is still on, I'd like to invite you all over to my new space at The Happy Heart Journals. A fresh new site, with a fresh new perspective. I sure hope you'll join me on this new adventure.

Lots of tiny blessings this week that made a few very hard days very sweet and wonderful. That's how life goes sometimes. You have to look beyond the bad stuff the the very good. It's in everything. You just have to want to find and savor it.
One little Gage, fresh from the shower. Mommy made him into a mummy with his big fluffy towel and then we cuddled up on the couch together in our pajamas. A wonderful ending to the day.
10 and 1/2 years of marriage later and I still think that he hung the stars in the sky. I love him. And he's mighty handsome too!
Some mornings you just need to drink mass amounts of coffee out of a really cheesy mug in order to feel human. For me, this is how roughly 99% of my mornings start.
Valentine's Day is making an appearance in our house, starting with a failed attempt at a cute banner and a make do and mend attempt that resulted in the new cute one hanging from my chalkboard. This favorite verse of mine is fitting for a day all about love, don't you think?
My Project Life album is progressing. And I'm actually caught up with 2013, which is a pretty huge achievement for me. Let's not even talk about my 2012 album.
Vanilla yogurt mixed with some yummy peanut butter granola made by a sweet friend of mine. I'm pretty sure this stuff is heaven on earth.
Play along!

Twenty Below
Thank you friends, for your kind response to my last post. I'm ok. That's just how I deal with the emotions that depression brings. I write to purge it all out of my system and it helps get rid or all of the negativity floating around inside of my head.
Anyways ... on to bigger and better things ...
It's mighty cold here in Pennsylvania. There is snow on the ground and the boys both have a two hour delay to the start of their school day. It's zero degrees outside right now with a windchill of negative twenty. Brrr!!
Today is one of those days that I'm glad that we can all spend a lazy morning together snuggled up under blankets, in our warm pajamas. I'm so thankful that we have a house with heat to keep my littles and I safe.
Sweet, unexpected, lazy mornings are the very best kind.

It's funny... I had a completely different blog post in the works for today about a completely different topic. But late last night (or rather very early this morning) as I was laying in bed and trying my very best to get some amount sleep, these words circled around in my brain on a loop until I eventually drifted off.
Remember when I said that I was going to turn this space into more of a journal and less of a traditional blog? Things are about to get heavy. If that's not for you, then please don't continue.
It baffles me that even though God is standing right beside me, shouting the truth into my ear through the loudest megaphone, that it's the quiet whispers of the devil that I hear, whose lies creep up slowly like smoke, turning everything they cover black. It tells me over and over again that I'm not good enough and that I never was and that I never will be. I freely admit that I've spent the majority of my life here, covered in darkness, trying to find my way out.
I've been pretty open in the past with my struggles with depression and anxiety. It's a pretty nasty disease that I fight with on a consistent basis. It sucks, plain and simple. At one time it even completely ruled my life. Now I have a handle on it, mostly.
I say mostly because I feel like I've spent the past few months in a fog, quiet and withdrawn. And to be perfectly honest it scares the hell out of me, because I know just how slippery of a slope it is and how very easy it can be to fall head first into that pit of utter despair. But it's that one lie that I can't seem to shake.
The truth is, I don't have a lot of friends. I have hundreds of acquaintances, most of whom who actually know my story, but only one or two close friends. And that's ok, I love those good friends dearly. I just hate that I have a hard time connecting with people. I'm shy, awkward, and am not at all eloquent. And until I'm completely comfortable with someone I usually keep to myself. Unfortunately, I don't usually get the chance to become comfortable with most people because those quirks of mine don't exactly lend themselves to being included.
I'm 29 years old and sometimes I think it hurts just as much as it did when I was 13 to be left out, just in a different way. It's not fun seeing pictures of the wonderful baby shower thrown for a friend that no one thought to invite you to. It hurts to hear all about how wonderful the food was at the person you thought you made a connection withs birthday dinner. And listing to people talk about the fun girls game night that everyone but you goes to is heartbreaking. And it's downright insulting when the only time you are included is in an effort to sell you something from this person or that person's home business.
So I did what I do best. I withdrew, retreated, tagged out, quit making an effort, whatever you want to call it. I stopped finding joy in the things I used to love. I've been nasty to my husband who has been nothing but amazing, I've stopped participating in groups that I'm involved with, I've stopped talking to people, and I've even gone as far as to stop going to church regularly. And let me be the first to say that I know that it was not the right response.
I have these feelings of inadequacy that I've never been able to let go of. I think I've always had them, from the time I was little to right this very second. And sometimes I can overcome them and sometimes I allow them to dictate how I feel and see things around me. I know that I am fearfully and wonderfully made. And I know that God loves me just as I am. But sometimes I can't fathom why that same love isn't always extended by others. It honestly hurts my heart.
And then that one lie snowballs into a million other lies. I tell myself that maybe I'm selfish or am acting entitled. Or perhaps I'm just not the kind of person that people want to be around. I get self conscious. Is it because I have nothing in common with anyone? Is it because I'm overweight? It is because I had my kids young? Is it because my hair is brown? These are all completely ridiculous notions and logically in my head I know that this is all Satan's trickery, but I still find myself falling victim to it.
Like I said, it's a slippery slope. And I may as well be running across a linoleum floor in socks for how fast I'm going.
I have this amazing testimony of how I use the love of God to overcome depression. But He is still writing my story and this is a battle that I'm pretty sure I will no doubt spend the rest of my life fighting. There is a reason that I don't see and will certainly never understand as to why I am the way that I am and why I feel the way that I do. There is a reason why I struggle with this disease. And at every turn I'm trying my very best to use it not as a crutch but as a tool to draw closer to God. Things will get better and eventually I'll get out of this funk that I'm in. It's just the part between the beginning and the end that I've got to work through.
If you think of it, please pray for me, friends.

Have been doing some aggressive buying, selling, and trading and I think I have now obtained all the tools I want for my shop.
And I think for a very good value, in fact I am so far under budget that I can add a spiral head to either my new (used) Minimax Lab 300 or my new ( used but never used) Woodmaster 18 inch planer.
I use a lot of rough lumber, so my original thoughts were to use the Woodmaster for initial planing outside my shop, then use the Minimax after cutting into apx sizes for final planeing inside my actual shop.
The spiral cutterhead for either machine is slightly over $1000.00.
If I use in the Minimax, I would think final planeing would be very nice, and it would also work on the jointer. Never really fond of running wide boards over jointer bed, but thinking with the spiral head it may not be as bad.
If I use in Woodmaster, then the blade shaft could be converted and left to use as a moulder, but again not sure how often I would do this.
So just brainstorming and appreciate any opinions.

The stock market ticker is red across the board this morning as investors wait with bated breath for news on Trumps final decision regarding the Tariffs he wants the U.S. to impose on imported metals.
Dow Jones Industrial Average took a hit this pre-market morning after President Donald
Trump announced that the U.S. will begin imposing tariffs on imports of steel and aluminum.
The dow took a dip of 0.29% over the weekend losing the stock 70.92 points in the market as the industry decides how Trump's tariff will affect manufacturing in the U.S.
S&P 500 is down 0.45% this morning and NASDAQ is down 0.26% following this news.
The market value may rise this morning after Trump announced the Tariffs may be lifted if proper negotiations can be met with NAFTA.
"We have large trade deficits with Mexico and Canada. NAFTA, which is under renegotiation right now, has been a bad deal for U.S.A. Massive relocation of companies & jobs. Tariffs on Steel and Aluminum will only come off if new & fair NAFTA agreement is signed," Trump said on Twitter.
Trump said negotiations are underway and he will lift the Tariffs, at least for Canada and
Mexico if these renegotiations are met well.
President Donald Trump announced Thursday that the U.S. will begin to impose tariffs on steel and aluminum, a move many are deeming detrimental to american consumers and businesses.
Trump said he would impose a 25% tariff on imports of steel and a 10% tariff on imports of aluminum.
The move was made to boost the U.S. steel industry but it could prove to be a hurdle for businesses that use imported steel and for the consumers who purchase products made with that steel.
The problem? Steel manufactured in the U.S. will be more expensive for businesses.
Businesses that rely on these imports to provide easily accessible products will be hit the most by these tariffs.
The beer manufacturing industry will see an increase of $347.7 million dollars added to their manufacturing costs.
The tariffs could affect consumers in several different ways, the most concerning is if businesses pass the increased production costs onto consumers.
This increase in product cost could cause a major slowdown in consumer spending and result in inflation.
Car consumers are likely to spend almost $200 dollars more for a vehicle if these tariffs are passed.
Investors can only hope that Trump will decide to lower his gaurd on the Tariffs and allow steel to be imported without the extra cost.

The status of Pacific Rim 2 has been in debate ever since pre-production was halted on the sequel over studio squabbles and Universal removed the film from its 2017 release slate. Guillermo del Toro has remained adamant that the film would eventually happen, and today brings the bittersweet news that Pacific Rim 2 is indeed moving ahead, but without del Toro in the director's chair. Deadline reports that Legendary Pictures has set Daredevil showrunner Steven S. DeKnight to take over at the helm in his feature film debut.
DeKnight has worked extensively in television over the decade, producing and directing Angel, Smallville, Dollhouse and Daredevil, and creating the Starz series Spartacus. DeKnight will direct the sequel to Del Toro and Travis Beacham's epic monsters vs robots smackdown from a script by Doctor Strange scribe Jon Spaights. Plot details for Pacific Rim 2 are scarce for the time being, though del Toro previously stated that the film would pick up years after the first when Kaiju had been purged from the world, and when I spoke with him at the summer TCAs he stated that most everybody who survived the first film would be back for the sequel, naming Charlie Day and Charlie Hunnam specifically.
I absolutely adore Pacific Rim, so I'm thrilled that there's forward movement on the sequel, but losing del Toro is quite a blow. It's his vibrant eye and ebullient glee for the subject matter that made the first film such a pleasure to watch despite its flaws. That said, the first season of Daredevil was fantastic and the DeKnight-directed finale was one of the highlights thanks in no small part to the keen directing of Kingpin's monologue to end all monologues. Plus, given how much love del Toro has for the project, it would be extremely surprising if he didn't remain very involved in the sequel.
For his part, del Toro is, as ever, hard at work on countless projects including a Fantastic Voyage remake for James Cameron, a Trollhunters series for Netflix, and most recently, a film adaptation of your childhood nightmare Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.
What say you? More excited that Pacific Rim 2 is definitely happening or sad that del Toro won't return to direct? Think DeKnight is a good fit? Sound off in the comments below.

Chemical Maker: Adoption of Completions Nanotechnology Doubles in Downturn
Completions-chemical maker Flotek reports that usage of its signature technology product has doubled in the past 2 years despite the number of unconventional completions in the US falling by two-thirds over that period.
The Houston-based firm specializes in the development of complex-nanofluids (CNF) that it describes as a combination of surfactants and an orange oil-solvent called d-limonene. Operators are adding the chemical to their hydraulic fracturing fluids to improve production results. According to a recent independent study to verify the company's claims, which had been contested, wells using CNF have seen greater production than those not using the product.
Flotek explains that the solvent it has developed maintains the fluid-flow benefits of surfactants by preventing them from emulsifying into troublesome gel balls. There are more than 50 varieties of CNF, all formulated to account for different formation types and the chemical ingredients that make up each company's hydraulic fracturing recipe.
Speaking from the company's new research laboratory in Houston, John Chisholm, chief executive officer of Flotek, estimated that CNF is now used in about 15% of hydraulic fracturing jobs in the US—about half of that business is in the Permian Basin of Texas.
He credited the improving rate of adoption with a recent decision to begin direct sales to oil and gas companies. He noted that such a move is rare for chemical providers and explained that the strategy was inspired by computer giant Apple's strategy to bypass big box retailers by opening its own stores.
"No matter what industry you're in ... if you have a transformational technology, you have to have a direct path to the end user. If you have this barrier, or this middleman, you're forever dependent on their energy, enthusiasm, and knowledge to help convey your value," Chisholm said.
About 30% of the company's revenue is now generated from direct sales, a figure the company expects to increase to 55–60% by next year. Calling it a "rewiring" of how the industry has priced chemicals for a generation, Chisholm said the transparency of this new sales tactic has pushed service companies to reduce their markups on his company's products to only USD 1–2 above retail.
He said operators previously were paying double or triple the price that Flotek was selling the chemicals for. In one case, the company found that a pumping firm in Saudi Arabia was re-pricing a USD 20/gal chemical to USD 180.
Global Work
The company's business is expanding beyond North America as international interest in unconventional technologies continues to grow. The firm says it is designing customized completions-chemical formulas for Saudi Aramco and YPF, Argentina's state-owned oil and gas company.
Both Saudi Arabia and Argentina are at the top of a very short list of countries expected to achieve commercial viable production from unconventional reservoirs within the next few years.
In addition to its work on Saudi Arabia's unconventional gas developments, Flotek has plans to deploy its nanotechnology in the country for wellbore strengthening during drilling operations, carbonate acidizing, and has developed a new scale-inhibitor for seawater injections meant to enhance oil recovery.
Flotek has also been tapped by YPF to design the company's fluid system for hydraulic fracturing. So far, more than 600 horizontal wells have been drilled in Argentina's Vaca Muerta shale play, which has both gas and oil windows. Chisholm expressed optimism for the shale business in Argentina, noting that many in the industry consider it to "to be the most viable shale geographic area outside of the US."
And because Argentina is the third-largest grower of lemons in the world, the company is considering producing its d-limonene solvent there to support its future work. The company uses oranges because there is a greater supply, but lemons have a higher-purity d-limonene.
Going for Guar
Earlier this year Flotek acquired International Polymerics, which operates a guar-processing facility in the Permian—the only one in the US used by the oil and gas industry. Used as a thickening agent in many food products, guar beans are a critical raw material needed to create gel-based fracturing fluids.
By crushing the guar beans in Texas vs. India, where 95% of the world's supply of guar is grown, the processed powder is not exposed to the humidity associated with an 8-week overseas transit. Flotek says its research shows that a drier guar product allows oil and gas companies to use up to 10% less in their completions mixes.
While the guar facility will offer the company a logistical advantage, there is also a technological angle being explored. "We've got some tricks in store of how to continue to evolve what has been a commodity for 30 years, guar, into a very customized chemistry, and I'd say stay tuned for that," Chisholm said.

An Unconventional Challenge: Can Casing Failures During Hydraulic Fracturing Be Stopped?
The shale sector is seeking answers to a complex issue involving casing deformations that block access to long sections of a lateral. As opposed to frac hits, this rising problem is considered to be an intrawell phenomena.
Superior Energy Becomes Latest Service Firm to Abandon Pressure Pumping
As completions activity slows down in the US, the second service company in a week's time has said it is exiting the business of hydraulic fracturing.
Basic Energy Services to Leave Pressure Pumping Business
The company said it will avoid the pumping business's "structurally disadvantaged position" and instead focus on well servicing and water logistics.

Now I cant even lie, I seriously thought this collection was going to be complete fail but to my surprised there were some hidden gems. Let me just tell you what I went through. I was invited to the unveiling of the collection at my local mall. I got there before it began but still had to wait outside for an hour before they let me in. Once inside theses young girls turned into savage beast. I couldn't get a clear picture for the life of me. I couldn't even play around with the products. After picking out what I wanted I handed it over to one of the ladies and stood in line to pay. Come to find out they lost my card with the items I chose on it. I couldn't take it, it got to the point where I was like 'Fuck this' but I figured I was already there so why not just get what you want, and run out of here.
So after waiting at the register for another forty-five minutes I finally got my stuff and ran out of there like a hooker in church. I'm sure you're like cool everything worked out.... NO. I get home open my bag and realize they forgot the one thing I wanted most. The Violetta lipstick!!! So I trooped it back the next day and got it to once again be disappointed because the girl gave me the wrong lipstick again. This time I decided to take no prisoners. I made my third and final trip to MAC and got what I wanted as well as well deserved apology. Sorry loves but I had to vent. Check out my video and pictures below!!
Just a look at the chaos smh.

I have a 17 month old, amazing little boy. I have new baby fever - I really want #2. I really love motherhood. Yet, I'm in the stage of finding myself after baby, so I need time to do things that make me feel accomplished; such as, writing & other things I love and interaction with other adults.
I feel guilty when I consider leaving #MyBoy in the care of someone else to fit some of these things into my life, but I cannot chase him around and do these things too. So, how did you find a balance between full-time mommy and finding time for self or is it just not my turn yet?

F letter refuses energy which comes to itself. People who has F letter are responsible, helpful, calm and creative people. Even if they are prone to depression and melancholy, often struggle tirelessly for the sake of ideals. In Love and romance are oppressive. They like to direct something.
Since numerological F corresponds to 6 number, these people symbolizes love. They are like sun; they irradiate to environment. However, sometimes they can be destructive, they are willing to fulminate suddenly.
- LFC (letter C)
Have a finger in every pie, Low concentration, diffident, vivacious and cheerful people. People whose their names start with C are creative, amusing and have strong communication skills. Especially, their hand skills are improved.
C resembles semicircle and these people feel themselves deficient. Change is inevitable for them. Being impatient is their most insufficiency for them. People who has C as last letter in their names are slog on what they do since they get bored quickly. Not to finish a job is so common.

We all know that the best gifts are the ones you can eat. Even better if they're chocolate. The experts at Make Something Edmonton have highlighted 3 local chocolatiers who are making a big impression on the international stage. You'll want to fill your suitcase with delectable souvenirs from these shops that create unusual and drool-worthy flavour combinations. Best of all, these treats are made by Edmontonians with a passion you can taste!
While working grueling hours as a corporate chef in Toronto, Brett Roy was on a business trip to New York, and found his gaze drawn to the boutique chocolate shops.
"One day," he said.
Fate intervened, and he found himself and his growing family in Edmonton. This was his opportunity, so he spent his savings on research and training, sometimes as far away as France, to take the plunge and become a chocolatier.
"Chocolate forced me to slow down, because it dictates everything. You can't rush it." Chocolate is very susceptible to its environment, such as humidity and temperature. "My work pace completely changed. The chocolate runs everything. And we don't cut any corners. It's a three-day process to make a bonbon. There are ways you can speed it up, but we abide by the traditional techniques."
Traditional techniques means using the best ingredients, including fresh cream and real butter. There are no extra sugars or preservatives in these delights. "We don't make a 'shelf-stable' product," he says. Brett makes them. You eat them. Repeat.

Meet Edmonton's Cocoanista: Jacqueline Jacek – one part fashionista and one part chocolatier. Observing Edmonton's blossoming food scene, Jacqueline wanted to be a part of it.
"I love food. I love design. Chocolate was the perfect canvas for my art," she says. Starting with a 150-square-foot commercial kitchen in her own house, she began to 'design' in four dimensions: shape, flavour, colour and function. One year later she had moved to a new location, and a few years after that opened a second, retail-only location, in one of Edmonton's trendiest neighbourhoods, 104 Street.
The key to Jacek's success goes so much deeper than tasty chocolate creations. There is a core purpose that informs absolutely everything they do: joy.
"We are here to bring joy, and we do it through chocolate. The way we hire, the way we fire, the way we create our products: it's all about joy." Consistently delivering on that promise of joy, inside and out, means Jacek is growing steadily. Further expansions are in the works, and Jacqueline shows no signs of slowing down.

Who wouldn't want to work in a chocolate factory? For Rebecca Grant, of The Violet Chocolate Company, it's her own sweet reality. This young chocolatier has made a name for herself on the world chocolate stage.
"I sort of fell into chocolate," Rebecca says, fully aware that her accidental career is as delicious as it sounds. A Red Seal chef, Rebecca originally wanted to be a pastry chef, but due to a happenstance juggling of jobs right out of school, she found herself working at Kerstin's Chocolates, a local confectioner and chocolate maker. And it was there she started to sink her teeth into her newfound craft. When Kerstin closed up shop in 2012 to travel the world, Rebecca found herself buying up her former boss's equipment, and launching her own chocolate line.
Success came quickly. In just three years, she's won 11 Canadian chocolate awards, and three international titles, including 'Best flavoured milk chocolate' at the world finals for her Honey Rosemary chocolate bar. Indeed, Rebecca has a growing reputation for unusual savoury flavour combinations, using everything from Tandoori spice to candied olives, sundried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, even taco spice.

There are a few grooming pre-requisites that any female ballroom dancer should be aware of before heading into a dance competition. Some things are obvious (no crinkly floats or skirts!) whilst others may not be so obvious. I travel to major competitions all over the world and nowadays I see its pretty common to get hair and makeup done by a professional but what about the other important factors that go into creating the finished product? Ballroom dancing is a highly visual and highly perceptive sport/art so if you want to do well not only do you have to learn how to dance but you have to make dang sure that you look the best on that floor too! The learning stuff I can leave to your teachers as it's not so easy to give a dance lesson through a blog (I could try? Joking..) but I thought maybe I'd help a sister or two out by sharing a few things I find important on a competition day. The best thing about most of these factors are that we can ourselves control them and therefore put forward our best 🙂
1. Dress + Shoes:
When going into a competition I think these two items are probably most important (thanks Captain Obvious you say!) but I don't mean just 'having' these things but actually the quality, the fit and the look of them. Obviously the style and cut of the dress is your own personal choice but some things to make sure of are that the fit of the dress is right, the colour is appealing and that the stonework is professional. Find yourself a dressmaker you can trust! Also make sure that once you have your dress that it is always clean on comp days, fake tan and makeup all over your beautiful dress is not a good look.
Shoes are an important one for me but maybe that's just because I'm a bit of a perfectionist! I feel that the shoes should make the feet look elegant and beautiful because they are where a lot of judges' eyes will most likely be at some point. Therefore, dirty old shoes are a not a go-er. Just imagine if you were going to a ball… would you wear a clapped out pair of dirty, worn out shoes to go with your amazing new ball gown? No? Well its the same thing on the dance floor! If you can, try to have 2 pairs of dance shoes; one for practice and one for competitions. Also, if you dye your shoes to match your dress then that's taking professionalism to the next level my friend! Hands up who wants a DIY tutorial on dyeing dance shoes? Let me know in the comments box below!
Last quick thing to mention on this topic is smell. I go to too many comps where my gag reflex is triggered. Tan makes us not smell pleasant and coupled with intense working out, tight-fitting dress materials and closed in shoes with no socks it really isn't a flower party. Invest in some Febreeze, wear deodorant and smother yourself in lovely perfumes. We want to knock the judges off their feet when we dance past them because our dancing is THAT amazing, not because we smell like an old spice pantry.
2. Fake Tan
Fake tan is pretty much a must for any ballroom dancer. It's horrible and leaves us looking like Oompa Loompas in public for many days after the comp but unfortunately there is no getting around it. In my 20 years of dancing I've only ever seen one (Yes, ONE!) girl not wear fake tan to an event. That chick was ballsy and had the most beautiful porcelain white skin and was going for what looked to be a 1920's type vibe. So it was for an effect to help with her statement but even that didn't last for long.. 2 or 3 comps maybe? Then she was back with the rest of us, tanning up a storm. I have a blog post on tanning which you can find here but mainly for grooming sakes make sure your tan is even, not too orange or green in colour and don't wear too much! Over tanning is probably worse than not wearing any tan to be honest. I'm very fair naturally so I never have the problem of being over tanned but I do feel that ballroom gals can get away with being a lot less brown than the latin ladies. I only ever really wear one or two coats of tan these days (my latin days are OVER!) plus I feel that having darker hair can let you get away with wearing less tan too. A tip I like to do if I do have a fair bit of tan on is to still keep my face a shade or two lighter but apply a deeper colour around the perimeter of my face so that my face still has light to it. If you match your whole face to the colour of your skin not only will you look like a carrot but you will lose your features too! Getting patchy tan after doing too many comps in a row? Buy yourself some exfoliating gloves, scrub it all off and start again girl.
3. Nails
Ah nails, it pains me to say this but ev-e-ry thing counts on that dance floor and sometimes it comes down to the most tiniest of details, especially at the highest level. It may sound super pedantic to say that even our nails need to look groomed but hey, that's dancing for ya! I really don't like wearing acrylics, I have done for soooo many years because my natural nails are short, weak and don't grow so acrylics helped my hands look more lengthened and elegant. But that stuff is really bad for your natural nails. Nowadays I'm trying out SNS which is basically a dipping powder containing 5 different kinds of Vitamins and Calcium which help to create healthier nails underneath. It has no odour, uses no primer and requires no UV light to set. Unlike acrylic and gel it prevents damage to your real nails but feels just as strong and durable. Also unlike shellac, you are still able to have the help of tips initially to get you started with some length until eventually your real nails grow long enough on their own. If you are lucky enough to have long natural nails just make sure they looked manicured and maybe slap a bit of colour on them too!
4. Hair + Makeup
This one is a little bit of an ambiguous topic but there are a few 'guidelines' I guess that can be followed. Hair should be sleek using gel or hairspray to get a smooooth and shiny finish. Big, boofy and loose wedding type hairstyles don't really hit the mark. The hair should be so tight that when you move your head the hair does not move, any wobbly bits need to be sorted out and there should be absolutely no flyaways! I did a low bun tutorial with my gal Rachel Macintosh a while back linked here where you can kind of get a vibe for just how sleek I mean when I say sleek. I mean like LEGO. Like rock hard. Get it? The ponytail part of the hairstyle should be pulled so tight that you feel like it's giving you a facelift and any decorative parts and the bun should be pinned in a way that you cannot see the pins. Headpieces can be cool, just make sure they tie into your dress otherwise it can tend to look like a bit of a random after thought.
Makeup should be clear, should bring out your features and should complement your overall look. I like to look at my dress and start to conceptualise a vibe I want to portray and allow the make up to reflect that. For example recently, I've been wearing quite a simple, black, timeless and bold looking dress so have tried to also keep my makeup along those lines. I've made an emphasis on a porcelain, full coverage base, kept with neutral browns and whites on the eyes paired with some black to give it a bit more edge and a retro 50's glam red lip to finish. I do often rock this look but that's what I feel most comfortable in and you do have to also feel your best on that floor too! If I was wearing silver or something more blingy then maybe I would add some glitter and some highlighter etc. So remember, it's so important to have a clear image of how you want to look because if you aren't clear enough to portray it, the audience/judges won't be able to read it.
I hope some of these things helped, I am forever learning new things along the way and that's whats so great about dancing! It's always evolving and changing 🙂 Who knows, maybe one day none of these thing will be important! We might all be dancing around in jeans, with no fake tan and our hair out flying everywhere.. you never know!

Make way for the most photographed pin-up, nude, and fetish model of the 20th century: Bettie Page. Through narrating her own life story just years before her death, Bettie Page recounts how her unabashed sexual expression and sexually provocative fetish poses set the stage for the 1960's Sexual Revolution, and ushered in a new style of fashion to popular culture.
As a woman in an era when women were second-class citizens, Bettie Page was continually ostracized throughout her life. But, by her strength and dignity, she persevered to become the world's greatest pin-up model and international sex icon.
Featuring rare photographs, unseen images from private collections, and commentary from people who knew her, photographed her, and made love to her.
The attitude Bettie dished out in her fetish photos was so salacious that she was targeted by a 1955 Senate investigative committee, as a source of teenage-induced depravity. Her life experiences ranged from idyllic legends to nightmarish realities. All the while, Bettie hid her private life from fans.
As the first and only authorized Bettie Page film biography, the "Queen of Curves" emerges from 40 years of enigmatic seclusion to tell her story in her own words. More popular today than Marilyn Monroe, she is regularly discovered by young men and women who thrive on the art of tease amid our hyper-sexualized society. Featuring interviews with: Hugh Hefner, Dita Von Teese, Rev. Robert Schuller, Olivia, Bunny Yeager, and Tempest Storm. (JMG)

Season 3, Episode 7: We Need to Talk about Annette
Season 3, Episode 8: Diary of a Mad Indian Woman
Posted by Sage
Welcome to a very special two-for-one The Mindy Project recap! Let's pretend that this was the plan the whole time and that I wasn't forced into this by my own over-scheduling. It's not the end of the world; "We Need to Talk about Annette" and "Diary of a Mad Indian Woman" make a nice little set of TMP episodes, being as they are about Danny and Mindy's ongoing efforts to fit the puzzle pieces of their lives together.
The former dealt with the places where Mindy and Danny's codes of ethics just don't add up. Mindy has the same outlook towards little white crimes as I do ("It's not against the law if everybody does it."), while Danny is – to no one's surprise – more rigid. ("We go dancing, I make sure the club has a valid cabaret license.") They have to reconcile these two views when Mindy takes Annette shopping and Danny's Maverick dream of a bomber jacket walks out the door with them.
Special shout-out to Annette and Dot, the Golden Girls of Staten. I hate that we're neglecting Mindy's coworkers this season, but I can't hold that against these ladies. I wish I were 35 years older, so I could tag along with them to Synchronized Seniors Aqua Disco and Passion of the Christ movie nights. ("This is my favorite part – Judas is getting his coins.") It also makes sense to have Annette be witness to, if not always the source, of Danny and Mindy's conflicts.
Mindy has no issue with "victimless" crimes like movie torrents and anime pornography. Her honor code comes into play when Danny might get hurt. He's delighted that his "two best girls" are getting along, then Mindy is forced to decide whether or not to tell Danny that the new crown jewel of his wardrobe is hot. "Hot" like stolen, I mean. But also "hot" like let's lock the door and put on "Take My Breath Away" and see what happens.
The Annette/Danny/Mindy dynamic doesn't feel old yet, because the alliances shift. Sometimes, Annette is solidly on Mindy's side. ("I used to listen in on his confessions – so boring…I'm glad he's with someone who pushes his buttons.") But she also counts on the endlessly forgiving, look-the-other-way nature of her "little Blue Angel." The struggle of dating a mama's boy is real. After Mindy uncomfortably broaches the shoplifting topic with Danny ("I just wanna say that your mom's keepin' her body real tight."), he invites her to a Catholic shame dinner, to reap the guilt that her inaccurate though not entirely baseless accusation over Tamra's missing charm bracelet deserves. ("Mindy doesn't understand social mores – she's from Boston.")
She brought up the thing even though Jeremy warned her not to bring up the thing. (Jeremy, from the motherland of not mentioning the thing until everyone who knows about the thing is dead.) But even Danny can't hold up his mother's side of the story when the blue security tag on his bomber jacket blows. Bolstered by old-world righteousness, he marches his girls back to the store. But first, he apologizes to Mindy for doubting her. He should know that she'd never make up a story like that without cause, because it certainly didn't earn her any points with either Castellano. Despite being somewhat abused the whole episode, Mindy saves the day at the store. When it's clear that the management is taking the theft a little more serious than they expected, Mindy challenges Danny and the "do the crime, do the time" philosophy he internalized early through mass and Dragnet reruns. Annette is family. The rules don't apply to her, or to Danny and Mindy's drunk trust fund kid, who'll need occasional rescuing from the White Party.
"This will not be one of those situations where I learn more from you," Meatball tells her interns. She's seen every inspiring classroom movie there is and that's not what's happening here. Instead, Mindy starts a rivalry between grade A suck-up T.J. and meek Candace. Convinced that he's being ignored because of his gender, T.J. lodges a sexism complaint about Mindy. ("Is it possible he said 'sexy'?") As it turns out, Mindy did accidentally teach a lesson to herself and her wee students. She sees herself in T.J., not in Candace, which is why she made an effort to train him into taking a step back sometimes. Whatever her faults, the show never wants us to think of Mindy as anything other than a good doctor. And good doctors know know how to temper their own egos and get along with their peers. Even Jean, once voted the nicest lesbian of her former hospital, is impressed. Though she does what she can to temper Mindy's self-satisfaction. ("Too late. I'll never remember the wrong things and I'll always remember the right things.")
The Mindy Project likes to mess with us a little bit, knowing how hard we root for Dandy but also that we wouldn't be this invested if the show were a straight up rom com with no bite. Danny gets down on one knee not to pop the question but to shame Mindy for voting De Blasio. (As if she actually voted, Dr. C.) And all of her anxieties about the uneven distribution of their relationship trickle down into that one symbol of heavy commitment. I don't want a Dandy proposal next week or during February sweeps or even at the end of this season. I'm happy where we're at, and I think Mindy could be too. This is why we'd all go crazy if we were privy to the most private thoughts of people we love and/or sleep with. ("Everyone knows diaries are just full of crap.") Who knows if Mindy is still as serious about her time limit as she seemed in that entry? Her insecurities about Danny wanting into her life as much as she wants into his were running rampant that day. And good for her for telling him what she needed. A lonely three seconds outside her apartment door were enough for Danny to get over his own fear. I don't expect a ring any time soon (pleaaase no ring anytime soon), but I do expect to see Danny more all in from this point on…and keeping a safe distance from the goody drawer.
Random Thoughts and B-Stories
- Peter's Mindy-like rave outfit just backs up my reading of him as Mindy's male parallel.
- "Oh, I don't need any. I'm always wet." – Morgan on getting Danny's hand-me-down moisturizers.
- "Requesting permission to fly by your office, Mindy."
- "It's like Twilight, but here's the twist: I'm the girl."
- "That's fierce as hell, no shade. I could be paraphrasing."
- "Yeah, you're dancing like an undercover cop."
- "Sorry, LABOR."
- "Here he is, man of the hour." I need to talk about the thing Peter's face does when he brings life into the world.
- "Danny, she gone. And I think Ben Affleck did it."
- "It's like yin and yang. Hey. I'm the white half."
- "You're like, in my ear. You're inside of my ear."
- "When i got my calligrapher's license, I swore I would only use it for good…It'll be the Falklands all over again." Jeremy was on fire in "Diary." Maybe some day he'll get a storyline of his very own.
- "The list where she ranks the races? I know. Chilling."
- "Most real lesbians are in their '40s, right? Something I've noticed." "Settle."
I'm sure you've all heard by now that Adam Pally is leaving the show early next year to develop some of his projects. You know that we're huge Peter and Pally fans over here, and we're wishing him nothing but the best in whatever comes next. (Pssst…Adam: Snowpants series with Ben and Gil?) Expect a post In Appreciation of Peter Prentice – Mindy's bro-bestie – before his final episode.

The Met Gala, known as the fashion industry's Oscars or the party of the year, was introduced in 1948 — two years after the Museum of Costume Art merged with The Metropolitan Museum of Art to be come The Costume Institute in 1946. Each May, the annual fundraising event celebrates the opening of the spring exhibition, and with the 2017 Met Gala just days away, here's a refresher on what the Costume Institute's exhibition themes have been in years past.
China: Through the Looking Glass
In 2015, the exhibition explored the impact of Chinese aesthetics on Western fashion.
Stand-outs on the Met Gala red carpet included Rihanna, wearing the dramatic Guo Pei Couture emsemble with Christian Louboutin heels, Sarah Jessica Parker and Beyoncé.
Jacqueline Kennedy: The White House Years
This exhibition took place in 2001 to celebrate Jacqueline Kennedy with a presentation of her iconic fashions. Nearly 80 costumes were displayed, featuring clothing worn by the former first lady on the campaign trail, during inaugural festivities and at the White House.
Punk: Chaos to Couture
Met Gala guests didn't hold back when it came to channeling this theme into their red carpet attire. The 2013 exhibition examined punk's impact on high fashion.
Highlights from the event came from Miley Cyrus and Madonna.
Yves Saint Laurent: 25 Years of Design
In 1983, the Costume Institute dedicated its fashion exhibition to the work of a living designer for the first time. One hundred and fifty YSL styles were put on display. According to a 1983 New York Times article, 810 guests attended the year's Met Gala, paying $500 for a dinner ticket. In 2016, attendees paid $30,000 per ticket.
This year's Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between exhibit marks the Costume Institute's first monographic show on a living designer since the Yves Saint Laurent.
Dangerous Liaisons: Fashion and Furniture in the 18th Century
This 2004 exhibition focused on fashion and its interplay with art, furniture, and decorative arts between 1750 and 1789. According to the museum, "The exhibition [explored] the dressed body's spatial negotiation of the eighteenth-century interior as a choreography of seduction and erotic play."
Scarlett Johansson was one the best-dressed attendees that year, wearing a yellow Calvin Klein Collection gown.
AngloMania: Tradition and Transgression in British Fashion
Who could forget Sarah Jessica Parker and Alexander McQueen's matching tartan ensembles? In 2006, the Costume Institute celebrated British fashion and its designers, and some Met Gala guests took the theme quite literally.
Diane von Furstenberg famously wore a Union Jack dress, as did Linda Fargo.
That year, Rose Marie Bravo, Chief Executive of Burberry, and the Duke of Devonshire served as Honorary Chairs of the gala. Co-Chairs were Christopher Bailey, Creative Director of Burberry, and actress Sienna Miller.
The Model As Muse: Embodying Fashion
In 2009, Kate Moss co-chaired the Met Gala, with Marc Jacobs sponsoring the exhibit. The two walked the red carpet arm-in-arm.
The exhibit focused on iconic models of the twentieth century, including Moss, Naomi Campbell and Cindy Crawford, and their roles in the evolution of the fashion industry. The exhibition featured haute couture and ready-to-wear pieces with photography and video footage of models during their respective era.
Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty
The 2011 exhibition celebrated the late Alexander McQueen and his impact on the fashion industry. Approximately 100 ensembles and 70 accessories were featured, including his first-ever collection as well as his final runway presentation.
This was one of the Costume Institute's most successful attractions. In the exhibitions last hours, thousands lined up around the block outside The Metropolitan Museum of Art for more than four hours, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Other notable themes included 1999's Rock Style exhibit, Haute Couture in 1995 and Christian Dior in 1996.

Red Bull Racing are set to pull out of Formula One as a team owner with Dietrich Mateschitz selling the Milton Keynes based outfit to car giant Volkswagen, according to BBC F1 analyst Eddie Jordan.
Jordan's comments come after both Christian Horner and Red Bull Motorsport consultant Dr Helmut Marko confirmed that the team will pull out of Formula One at the end of this season if they can not secure a competitive replacement for Renault who it has been confirmed have terminated their agreement with Red Bull.
EJ who usually right about these stories has said that the team would continue to operate as Red Bull up until 2018 with Ferrari power when the team would than become a VW manufacturer team with a VW engine.
Dietrich Mateschitz, the owner of Red Bull told his website Speedweek.com that the deal to terminate their contract with Renault was concluded a number of weeks ago and that using Ferrari engines for the next two to three year period would be an acceptable option. Jordan commented by saying:
Red Bull and VW have been in on-and-off talks for more than a year and I understand that the fundamentals of a deal for the sale of the team have been agreed, An arrangement whereby VW would take it over, becoming the fourth major manufacturer in F1, and Red Bull would continue to enjoy the high profile that comes from a major sponsorship suits both parties.
Volkswagen and Red Bull have an existing relationship with their association in the World Rally Championship and the DAKAR Rally. The two parties are also tied with former Red Bull Racing driver Mark Webber as they sponsor the Australian in the World Endurance Championship with Porsche who are owned by VW.
Renault and Red Bull have been together since 2007 and have won four world championships together and although their partnership is over what remains unclear is what Renault will do in the future with continued uncertainty over the deal to buy a majority shareholding in the Lotus F1 Team.
The Enstone outfit were in the High court in London on Friday over an unpaid tax bill with the case been adjourned until September 28.
The news that Volkswagen are set to enter Formula One as a works team is a major boost for Formula One as it will bring the number of manufacturers involved the sport as works teams to four potentially if the lotus/Renault deal goes ahead so we would have Ferrari, Renault, Mercedes and Volkswagen.

As many of you know, the FDA issued a recall of the Steris System 1 sterilizer late last year because changes to the system over the years were not evaluated and approved by the FDA. Thus the FDA was unable to validate the effectiveness and safety of using that particular system. Because of this recall, hospitals have been transitioning to new sterilizer systems such as Steris Corporation's System 1E and Advanced Sterilization Products' Sterrad line of peracetic acid and hydrogen peroxide based sterilizers, respectively.
When switching from one sterilization system to another, hospitals often focus on sterilization efficacy and materials compatibility, but it is important to remember that all sterilants are used to kill microbial life, making them harmful to humans if exposure should occur. Therefore, whatever sterilizer is used, both employers and employees should be aware of potential exposure issues to liquid or gaseous chemical sterilants. Where gas exposure is a risk factor, continuous monitoring may be needed – especially where the odor threshold of the sterilant used is near or greater than the OSHA PEL or other recognized exposure limit such as the EPA's AEGLs.
This is not a knock against the safety claims of sterilizer producers, but only to say that accidents can and do happen, due to equipment malfunction or wear and tear, as well as human error. Monitoring systems are not intended for when sterilizers are working properly, but to protect health care workers when an accident occurs.
In summary, as a healthcare facility is reviewing its sterilization system or process, it is very important to include questions about employee safety, including whether continuous monitoring of the workplace for sterilant gases and vapors is necessary.

Due to a rise in the number of reported flu cases and other respiratory viruses, Riley at IU Health is implementing visitor restrictions to protect patients and prevent further spreading. View full details.
Antiphospholipid syndrome occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks some of the normal proteins in the blood, causing abnormal clotting. This condition is quite rare; most family doctors will never see anyone with this condition. Therefore, it is vitally important for your child to be immediately assessed by a pediatric rheumatologist if it is suspected that he or she might have antiphospholipid syndrome.
Antiphospholipid syndrome can cause blood clots to form in the arteries or veins of the fingers, toes, legs, kidneys, lungs or brain. Blood clots in the brain can cause stroke, which is a serious symptom of this condition. A heart attack, lung clot or pulmonary embolism (PE) may also be caused by this condition.
Other less common symptoms of antiphospholipid syndrome include:
If your child's rheumatologist suspects that he or she may have antiphospholipid syndrome, a series of blood tests will be conducted over the course of several weeks. The doctor will analyze your child's blood for the presence of at least one of the following antibodies:
In order to make a definitive diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome, at least one of these antibodies must be present in your child's blood in at least two separate blood tests conducted 12 weeks apart. Your child's doctor will begin to treat the condition as soon as it is recognized, which is sometimes before the definitive diagnosis at 12 weeks.
There is no cure for this condition, but your child's doctor will use various medicines in order to reduce the risk of blood clots. The medicines used may include:
If your child is taking anticoagulants, there are some safety measures that he or she can take to reduce the chance of bleeding. It is recommended that he or she:
Blood clots related to this condition will be greatly reduced if your child takes the prescribed medicines and follows the lifestyle modifications recommended by the doctor.
Visit the trusted websites below to learn more about antiphospholipid syndrome.
Riley at IU Health offers a broad range of supportive services to make life better for families who choose us for their children's care.
The American College of Rheumatology provides detailed information about antiphospholipid syndrome.
In addition to our primary hospital location at the Academic Health Center in Indianapolis, IN, we have convenient locations to better serve our communities throughout the state.

The mere word can strike fear in the hearts of students (and teachers for that matter). Some of them feel extreme pressure to perform. Others constantly fret about how to improve their scores. So, how do you prepare students for a test?
Here is some advice that teachers shared with us about how they help students improve performance on tests while, at the same time, minimizing performance anxiety.
When parents know about upcoming tests, they're more likely to make sure their children are prepared. Enlist parents to participate in the child's testing schedule. For students in lower-level grades, perhaps send home a copy of their test schedule each week. You could even ask for a parent signature to confirm that they are aware of upcoming tests.
Studying and reviewing for a test varies by subject and grade, but helping students know how to prepare for a test builds confidence.
Each student benefits from different methods of learning and studying, but giving specific strategies to try will prevent him from sitting with his nose in the book simply hoping to absorb the information on the page. A few minutes of daily, focused reinforcement prevents the need for hours of studying the night before a test.
When possible, give tests before lunch. Students remain more alert then and don't have to combat post-meal drowsiness. Also, when administering more than one test a day, use different test formats. This is how it's typically laid out in the Abeka curriculum. For example, don't give problem-solving chemistry test on the same day as a problem-solving math test. This way, students can use different test-taking skills and avoid being exhausted by one particular format.
Challenge your students by introducing them to different formats of questions beginning in the lower grades. Students answer true-or-false, fill-in-the-blank, multiple choice, and short essay questions. This is one way to help develop higher-level thinking and prepare them for multiple question formats as they progress through upper-level grades and prepare for college.
Make sure that students clearly understand the test directions to help reduce anxiety. Instruct students to read through all of the directions slowly, especially when there may be multiple steps to a question. Allow students to read through all of the directions before clarifying or answering any questions regarding the directions.
As you help students prepare for tests, keep in mind that tests are simply a way to measure each student's progress. Helping them effectively learn and study will go a long way to increasing their retention and lessening their apprehension.

|Americans are overreachers; overreaching is the most admirable of the many American excesses.
– George F. Will, Statecraft as SoulcraftRate it:
|Americans are the only people in the world known to me whose status anxiety prompts them to advertise their college and university affiliations in the rear window of their automobiles.
– Paul FussellRate it:
|Americans are very friendly and very suspicious, that is what Americans are and that is what always upsets the foreigner, who deals with them, they are so friendly how can they be so suspicious they are so suspicious how can they be so friendly but they just are.
– Gertrude SteinRate it:
|Americans become unhappy and vicious because their preoccupation with amassing possessions obliterates their loneliness. This is why production in America seems to be on such an endless upward spiral: every time we buy something we deepen our emotional deprivation and hence our need to buy something.
– Philip SaltierRate it:
|Americans cannot realize how many chances for mental improvement they lose by their inveterate habit of keeping six conversations when there are twelve in the room.
– Ernest DimnetRate it:
|Americans detest all lies except lies spoken in public or printed lies.
– Edgar Watson HoweRate it:
|Americans don't want to think. They want to know.
– John DeweyRate it:
|Americans expect to eat and stay thin, to be constantly on the move and ever more neighborly...to revere God and be God.
– Daniel J. BoorstinRate it:
|Americans have always had an ambivalent attitude toward intelligence. When they feel threatened, they want a lot of it, and when they don't, they regard the whole thing as somewhat immoral.
– Vernon A. WaltersRate it:
|Americans have been conditioned to respect newness, whatever it cost them.
– John UpdikeRate it:
|Americans have the will to resist because you have weapons. If you don't have a gun, freedom of speech has no power.
– Yoshimi IshikawaRate it:
|Americans like happy history—narratives that make us look smart, brave, and exceptional. We want a history that has been cherry-picked, one that ignores our mistreatment of the weak and disfavored—a history that can be celebrated at picnics, parades, and in smug conversations. This approach to history is neither honest nor mature.
– David PilgrimRate it:
|Americans never quit.
– General Douglas MacArthurRate it:
|Americans think of themselves collectively as a huge rescue squad on twenty-four-hour call to any spot on the globe where dispute and conflict may erupt.
– Eldridge CleaverRate it:
|Americans who had traveled in Europe knew the 'free' European peasants suffered considerably greater oppression and misery than did American bondsman. Modern scholarship has shown that the exploitation rate -- the percentage of the worker's production that was taken from him by his owners -- was lower among the slaves than among European peasants, that work loads were light, and that slaves actually experienced a considerable measure of personal freedom.
– Forest McDonaldRate it:
|Americans will listen, but they do not care to read. War and Peace must wait for the leisure of retirement, which never really comes: meanwhile it helps to furnish the living room. Blockbusting fiction is bought as furniture. Unread, it maintains its value. Read, it looks like money wasted. Cunningly, Americans know that books contain a person, and they want the person, not the book.
– Anthony BurgessRate it:
|Americans will put up with anything provided it doesn't block traffic.
– Arnold BennettRate it:
|Americans, unhappily, have the most remarkable ability to alchemize all bitter truths into an innocuous but piquant confection and to transform their moral contradictions, or public discussion of such contradictions, into a proud decoration, such as are given for heroism on the battle field.
– James BaldwinRate it:
|America's treasure troves of public and private data, IP, and critical infrastructure continues to be pilfered, annihilated, and disrupted, while an organizational culture of 'Participation Trophy Winners" managed by tech neophyte executives continue to lose one battle after the next.
– James ScottRate it:

|Among all men on the earth bards have a share of honor and reverence, because the muse has taught them songs and loves the race of bards.
