Rich Bitch, Poor Redhead
It is obvious by the bone structure in my face I have more strengths than weaknesses. Except when it comes to money, I am a lost cause.
When I turned twenty-six last month, I made it a personal goal to expand my financial vocabulary beyond the three terms: over-draft, minimum payment, and approved. So, after I was done blowing out the birthday candle on a $50 bottle of 2007 Joseph Phelps Innisfree Cabernet Sauvignon, I took my good-looking self to the bookstore down the street and turned to the financial experts for help. Maxing out the sixty dollars left on my credit card, I returned home with a grande half-sweet vanilla latte and brand new copies of Suzie Orman's Nine Steps to Financial Freedom, Robert T. Kiyosaki's Rich Dad Poor Dad, and David Chilton's The Wealthy Barber. Sitting down to read the first and last chapters of each best-seller, I learned that in order to start saving money, I had to stop spending it.
"Not a problem," I said to myself the next morning when I crawled out of bed and made coffee at home for the first time in a year. Determined not to spend more than a cent, I decided not to visit Eva at de Dutch for my favourite salmon benny and instead treated myself to a banana. At lunch I met my editor downtown at one of the half-dozen Starbucks next to Pacific Centre to discuss my upcoming article. Fortunately he picked up the check on my double Americano, so despite the fact it was two o'clock in the afternoon and I was starving and hopped up on caffeine, I had already saved $45.
"Under no circumstances," I told him, "will you let me venture across the street and in to that mall."
"Not a problem," he said, "seeing as how you don't have time to shop since your article was due three days ago and I have yet to see a first draft."
Twenty minutes and one disgruntled magazine editor later, I found myself standing outside the front entrance to H&M.
"No Fox," I said to myself as I felt my left Hush Puppy inch closer to the glass door, "don't do it."
It could have been the double espresso pushing my heart rate over the edge, but I became remarkably anxious. My teeth made a mess of my freshly manicured nails while my stomach growled and my feet would not take no for an answer. "It never hurts to look," was the last thing I remember saying to myself before my hand was on the door handle and I was one tug away from no returns, exchanges or refunds. Then, just as I was about to step in, the most insane thing happened. My reflection in the glass door started talking to me.
"Turn around," he said, "there is a bus right behind you that will take you home."
I recognized his impeccable fashion sense and perfect complexion, but his voice was much different than mine. It was deeper, slower and much more mature. Come to think about it, he sounded exactly like Morgan Freeman.
"But what if I don't want to get on the bus?" I whimpered, releasing my grip from the door in order to check the temperature on my forehead.
"Then your financial dreams will never come true."
I didn't care for his dramatic emphasis of the word 'never' but nonetheless found him convincing.
"I'm sure one pair of suspenders won't hurt."
"FOX, YOU MUST LISTEN TO ME," he boomed as I let out a girlish scream. "I am the voice of reason – that whisper in your ear which you have ignored all these years. But now that you are almost thirty and becoming a man, you can no longer shut me out. Do you want to be financially comfortable Fox? Do you?"
"Well yes, but –" I had never seen this side of me before. He was aggressive and controlling and it kind of turned me on.
"May I ask you a question Fox?"
"That depends if you are going to buy me a drink first."
"Do you go to sleep at night dreaming of the day you will bring a chocolate lab home from the shelter and name him Sir Elton John? Do you check the mail each morning and think to yourself, 'one day, my baby boy Locklyn will arrive in the post?'"
"Why, how did you – of course, yes!"
His wrath shot through my spine like a lightning bolt and made every curly hair on my body stand straight up. He was right, if I wanted to save money I had to stop spending all of it in on my wardrobe. I stole a glance from behind my shoulder and saw the bus driver smiling back at me. He reached out his hand and waved it as if to say, "Come with me, I have cushioned seats, an emergency sun roof, and I will take you home."
I was at a crossroads and didn't like it one bit. I felt as if a ten-dollar pair of suspenders had suddenly become the difference between a life filled with happiness and love, or one spent alone with a bottle of red wine and a really great outfit. Sadness overcame me and I turned back around to see my reflection bearing the exact opposite expression as me.
"It is time Fox," he said, "Go now and you will be one step closer to reaching your dream."
My shoulders were resigned and my neck was defeated. I dropped my head to the ground and joined the line of people waiting to get on the bus. When it was finally my turn, I lifted my right foot up in the air and it then occurred to me that: in the event my dream did actually come true, I had absolutely nothing to wear! What on earth was I supposed to put on when I took Sir Elton John to the dog park? And what's the point of having a child if you cannot dress them up well enough to make the other kids jealous? I planted my foot back firmly on the sidewalk and looked at the bus driver once again, except this time with my fire in my eyes.
"I am not going anywhere," I told him. "This is my stop."
With a gush of air the doors folded closed, the breaks released and before I knew it the number seventeen was nothing more than a small orange light flashing in the distance.
I raced back towards the front door and watched my reflection's face as it turned from surprise to anger to fear.
"I don't know a lot in this life," I raised my finger at him. "But I do know one thing, and that is that – thrifty is one word - I will never know."
"Fox," he pleaded, his speech speeding up, "take a deep breath lets talk about this youdon'tknowwhatyou'redoingpleaseFoxNOOOOOOOooooo."
It was too late. All reason was gone. With a fatal swoop of my hand, I hit the wheelchair button and waved goodbye as the two automatic doors exploded open in front of me. On a war path, inside I stormed through a herd of Chinese girls carrying Louis Vuitton bags in one hand and their father's black Amex cards in the other, and skipped up the escalator to the men's section. Within seconds I found the exact pair of dog-walking suspenders I was looking for plus a pair of faded denim jeans to match.
Later that evening, I took a cab to Gastown to show off my new outfit and ease the discomfort of buyer's remorse with a bottle of Argentinean malbec. I drank the last sip of wine, and for the first time that day I admitted to myself I might actually have a problem, my glass was empty.

I'm sitting in a Tim Hortons near my home this morning, actually consuming my breakfast at the location. Many others are in the drive thru and will likely inhale their morning meal on their commute to their destination (guessing work.)
Why did we allow breakfast time at the table to go the way of the dodo bird? Why are we rushing?
Aren't there efficiencies in our world, that buys us time? Or are we so burdened with debt and stuff, that we have to rush like rats, scurrying around looking for our next to do item?
It's 2017, in case you were unaware of the new calendar in your kitchen.
I have 3 big goals for this year, and part of each goal is a component of doing less. Say no more. Bow out of meetings that I do not need to attend.
I looked at my 2016 calendar, and I'm one of those anal blokes that keeps track of their daily activities. I ate pho for lunch on December 7th. What did you have for lunch that day? Does it matter? Maybe, if you are keepers of a food journal.
Anyhoo, last January I was in 50 meetings. Yes. 50. February was approaching that same number. I realized that was not sustainable if I was going to live to see 2017.
So I stepped down from a couple volunteering roles. Meetings dropped a bit, but I was still busy.
Next was to triage my calendar, and find out when I'm my most productive. Mornings work best for me, so I purposely avoid meetings if at all possible in the mornings.
It's made a huge difference in my ability to focus on tasks.
Multitasking needs to die. Society needs to support more people working, to prevent burnout.
Watching people in the drive thru. They look like life has been sucked out of them. It's Wednesday after a holiday. The Rat Race is alive and well.

Did You See It? Intel Featured on the Tonight Show!
by admin on Jun.26, 2009, under Storage
Did You See It? Intel Featured on the Tonight Show!
Did you see it?! I stayed up way past my bedtime last night to watch The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien. Why? Because as part of a new sponsorship deal, Intel and the "Sponsors of Tomorrow" campaign will be woven into on-air and online components of Conan's new show!
To kick off the sponsorship, Conan showed up in Reno NV to film at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair. I was lucky enough to be in Reno and check out the filming live! Conan spent hours wading through the enormous show floor interviewing students and learning more about their projects.There were moments where Conan seemed truly awe-struck by the genius of the teens he was interviewing, and it's very apparent in last nights clip Conan also took some time to interview Craig Barrett:
The footage from Intel ISEF debuted during last night's show and I must say it was a very funny clip!
As some of you may know, Conan is no stranger to Intel. Back in 2007 a similar sponsorship brought Conan to Santa Clara headquarters resulting in a handful of hilarious clips highlighting Intel's one of a kind personality!
Both the clips from last night show and the clips from Conan's Intel visit can be seen on the new Intel section of The Tonight Show website: http://www.tonightshowwithconanobrien.com/intel/.
Even though The Tonight Show starts at 11:30pm (which I already mentioned is way past my bedtime) I'm really looking forward to seeing more Intel and Sponsors of Tomorrow on the show! Thank goodness for DVR.

Teens and Dental Care – 7 Practical Tips for Those In-Between Years
Most teens are too busy with their social lives and newfound independence to stop and worry about their dental care, but family dentistry experts know that good oral care throughout the teen years is important for keeping a healthy mouth into adulthood. An affordable dentist in West Chester can offer early detection and treatment of tooth and gum disease, but good dental care habits at home can prevent many problems before they start.
Here are seven tips for keeping your teens on the path to proper dental care:
1. Remind your teen about daily dental care. Encourage your teen to brush and floss daily, and also set a good example by doing so yourself. Providing interesting dental care products can encourage compliance.
2. Be on the alert for gum disease. Hormonal changes can increase the risk of gingivitis and periodontitis. If your teen's gums are bleeding, consult your family dentistry expert for treatment options.
3. Look for mouth irritations. If your teen wears braces, be on the lookout for mouth sores. Avoiding acidic foods and practicing good dental care can help reduce painful symptoms. If sores persist, consult your family dentistry professional.
4. Be aware of the signs of eating disorders. Anorexia or bulimia can cause serious damage to both the body and teeth. If you suspect an eating disorder, get your teen medical and psychological help immediately, and also consult an affordable dentist to determine if any tooth damage has occurred.
5. Watch oral piercings closely. Take your teen to your family dentistry professional regularly to make sure tongue or lip piercings are not causing dental problems like infections or chipped teeth.
6. Keep soda and sugary drinks out of the kitchen. Avoid sugary drinks and make plain water readily available. To encourage water consumption at school, provide a refillable water bottle.
7. Make sure your teen wears a mouth guard during sports. If your teen plays sports, ask an affordable dentist about the right kind of mouth guard to protect their teeth.
To learn about our family dentistry practice in West Chester, call Gentle Dental of West Chester today at (484) 643-4417 or make an appointment.

6:30 P.M. (Showtime) FRUITVALE STATION (2013) On Jan. 1, 2009, Oscar Grant III, a 22-year-old African-American father, was shot in the back by a white Bay Area Rapid Transit police officer on a subway platform in Oakland, Calif., his killing captured on cellphone. Ryan Coogler's feature directorial debut reconstructs the final 24 hours in the life of Mr. Grant (played by Michael B. Jordan, above, with Ariana Neal) who, after two stints in a state prison, had returned to selling drugs after losing his job at a supermarket because of chronic lateness. Octavia Spencer plays his mother, still able to boss him around, and Melonie Diaz the mother of his daughter, with whom he's trying to stay. Mr. Coogler's "main intention — and his great achievement, as well as Mr. Jordan's — is to make Oscar a fully human presence, to pay him the respect of acknowledging his complexities and contradictions," A. O. Scott wrote in The New York Times. "The radicalism of 'Fruitvale Station' lies precisely here, in its refusal to turn a man into a symbol. Nearly every black man, whether or not he is president, tends to be flattened out by popular culture and the psychopathology of everyday American life, rendered as an innocent victim, a noble warrior or a menace to society. There is a dehumanizing violence in this habit, a willed, toxic blindness that 'Fruitvale Station' at once exposes and resists."
3:30 P.M. (Starz) SOMETHING'S GOTTA GIVE (2003) A music executive in his 60s (Jack Nicholson) with a fondness for young women — no one over 30 need apply — finds the rug pulled out from under him when he falls for the mother (Diane Keaton) of his latest squeeze (Amanda Peet). Reviewing this romantic comedy from Nancy Meyers, A. O. Scott wrote in The Times that Mr. Nicholson and Ms. Keaton sparred "with the freedom of professionals with nothing left to prove, and Mr. Nicholson has the gentlemanly grace to step aside and let Ms. Keaton claim the movie." He added, "She in turn brings out the best in everyone around her."
7 P.M. (BET) I THINK I LOVE MY WIFE (2007) Chris Rock plays an investment banker who seems to have it all: a beautiful wife (Gina Torres), two adorable children, a lovely house in the suburbs and a good job with a high-end Manhattan firm. But he's bored. Then along comes Nikki (Kerry Washington), and with her, trouble. Mr. Rock, above, directed this film and wrote the script, which he adapted with Louis C.K. from Eric Rohmer's "Chloe in the Afternoon." "In attempting to synthesize the later French New Wave of the late 1960s and early '70s with the upscale African-American romantic comedies that flourished in Hollywood in the late 1990s, Mr. Rock has not only done his best work as a director and screenwriter but has also made an unusually insightful and funny mainstream American movie about the predicaments of modern marriage," A. O. Scott wrote in The Times.
8 P.M. (NBC) AMERICA'S GOT TALENT Six finalists — AcroArmy, Emily West (below), Mat Franco, Miguel Dakota (near right), Quintavious Johnson and Sons of Serendip — perform for the last time in their quest to win $1 million and headline a show in Las Vegas. Guests include Ed Sheeran, Jennifer Hudson, Lenny Kravitz, Train, Pitbull and the Rockettes.
8 P.M. (13, 49) THE ROOSEVELTS: AN INTIMATE HISTORY "The Storm (1920-1933)," the fourth installment in Ken Burns's seven-part documentary, finds Franklin D. Roosevelt (the voice of Edward Herrmann) running for vice president in 1920 before contracting polio the next summer. Eleanor (Meryl Streep), meanwhile, builds a political life of her own as her husband struggles — without success — to walk again. He returns to politics in 1928 as governor of New York and earns the Democratic nomination for president in 1932, surviving an assassination attempt and, at his inauguration, telling his countrymen that the only thing they have to fear is "fear itself."
What's Streaming Now
MAKING A SCENE WITH JAMES FRANCO "Bound 3" — Mr. Franco and Seth Rogen's spoof of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian's motorcycle make-out session in "Bound 2" — was apparently just the beginning. In this 10-episode series, Mr. Franco reimagines scenes from "The Godfather," "Batman," "Beetlejuice," "Titanic," "Grease," "Dirty Dancing" and "Reservoir Dogs." The first three episodes are available for streaming on Wednesday on AOL Originals. (on.aol.com) KATHRYN SHATTUCK

The Orlando Predators' season ended in a cruel fashion Saturday night.
At home. In overtime. To the same state rival that ended their season in 2015.
Derrick Ross scored on a 2-point conversion run with 5 minutes, 50 seconds left in OT, giving the Jacksonville Sharks (8-9) a 69-68 victory against the Predators (12-5) in an Arena Football League first-round playoff game at Amway Center. Orlando sustained its third consecutive loss before an announced crowd of 12,171.
Jacksonville eliminated Orlando from the playoffs last year with a 55-33 victory at Amway Center.
"The heads are still going to be held up high,'' Preds coach Rob Keefe said. "We gave the fans a great show. I just feel bad that unfortunately we came up short at the end there. I am kind of taken aback, because you just had to believe we were going to win that game.''
The teams entered the extra session tied at 61.
The Preds opened the scoring in OT on QB Bernard Morris' fourth rushing touchdown of the night, a 3-yard scamper with 10:16 left. The Sharks moved within a point on Ross' 1-yard plunge before he produced the decisive points.
"I hurt for those guys right now,'' Keefe said. "I don't think anybody in the city can be upset with us.''
All nine lead changes in regulation came in the second half.
A 10-yard touchdown reception by Joe Hills, plus his 2-point conversion catch, gave the Sharks a 61-55 lead with 54 seconds left in the fourth quarter.
The Preds recovered the ensuing onside kick and moved the ball to the 1. Morris snuck into the end zone to tie the score with no time remaining, but Mark Lewis' extra-point attempt clanged off the upright.
"I just told the team to not point fingers,'' Keefe said. "If there was something that I am upset about was the last three games — Arizona, Philadelphia, Jacksonville — when we have the opportunity to go up by a lot, we just let teams back in.
"There is no killer instinct. There is no discipline to not let them come back into the game.''
Morris completed 22 of 31 passes for 277 yards, five touchdowns and one interception. Larry Brackins caught eight passes for 122 yards and four touchdowns. LaMark Brown made the other TD catch for Orlando.
Terence Moore returned an interception for a touchdown, and he forced and recovered a fumble, all in the second quarter.
Moore and Kent Richardson finished with nine tackles. Varmie Sonie had a team-high 12 tackles for the Preds.
The Preds led 28-27 at halftime.
The Preds, whose last appearance in the ArenaBowl came in 2006, ended their season one victory short of attaining the 250th triumph in franchise history. Their 12 victories tied a team record for a season, set two other times.

I had the pleasure of photographing this great young couple at one of the most beautiful places in Georgia - Berry College. While I know both of their parents - I never had the privilege of spending any time with them until this weekend. They both carry little pieces of their parents which is so fun to see. Kayla, the girl with a plan just like her mother and a smile and the levity of her dad. Marco, a quiet man of few (albeit wise) words like his father with the intensity and focus of his mom - catching every detail. This perfect pair, so different, yet so in sync have such a bright future ahead of them. I pray the best for them in the coming months.
"For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh." -Ephesians 5:31

🌸Feed and Nourish your Body:
From the Outside, In
Being mindful of what we put on our bodies is just as important as being mindful of what we put into our bodies. Our skin absorbs about 60%t of the chemicals we put on it, and those chemicals end up in our bloodstream. What's the solution? Simply put, we need to be more cautious about the products we're lathering on our skin.
Our Health and Beauty department wants to help you become the all natural you, inside and out. Our guests are always looking for personal care items that serve special needs like sensitive skin, organic, low-allergen, without parabens or petroleum, sulfate-free, and more. From head to toe and for all ages, we have what you're looking for, from natural sun care and bug repellent to fine cosmetic lines, hair care, skin care, essential oils, and dental care. Our bath and body products are made with clean and exotic ingredients, like African nuts and seed oils from the Peruvian rainforests that are designed to feed and nourish your body.
Maybe you have dry, itchy, or cracked skin. We carry shea butter, cocoa butter, organic oils, and more that will help sooth and heal your skin,
Ready to be done with acne? It's all about a consistent regimen:
Cleanser, Toner, Exfoliator, Moisturizer- customized for your skin type.
Interested in looking more youthful? We carry organic elixirs as well as clinical strength skincare lines that can rejuvenate your skin at the cellular level!
Trying to encourage hair growth? We have a variety of shampoos, conditioners, AND essential oils that can promote healthy, natural hair growth!
Whatever your concern, we carry a product in our health and beauty department that can help you. We're here to help and educate you, yes, but we're here to learn too. If we can't help you, we'll do our best to do the research and find a product that may help. 💋
⭐Remember, It's ALL about holistic healing
Many people think that putting something topically on a rash will always fix it, and doctors often prescribe topical solutions. But oftentimes our diet can be the culprit of skin rashes, in which case the rash should be treated internally, not externally.
This is just one example. Keep in mind that while addressing the root cause addresses the symptoms, addressing the symptoms alone often neglects the root cause, which could lead to the problem coming back over and over again. Visit our grocery and supplement departments — a whole body specialist will be happy to discuss your needs with you.

PEP.ph published a video blog with Marian Rivera walking down the hall of ABS-CBN compound. It's interesting to watch her reaction while in it.
Watch the video via Pep.ph and see her reaction. While walking, the guard asks her name but Ai-ai De Las Alas defends her jokingly.
Fans of Marian Rivera will surely get nervous after seeing her reaction. But for the ones who are secure that she is genuinely Kapuso, it's a no-brainer.

Julie Chen Responds to Racist Remarks

PurpleRain started following Julie Chen Responds to Racist Remarks
Elissa - Week 2 (Nominated)
PurpleRain replied to CeCiMom's topic in Big Brother 15 ArchivesI use to be a BB fan until this season. I just can't do it. Personally, I don't care for Elissa as a player because she hasn't shown that she deserves MVP. I do think that production (Grodner) has a hand in feeding Elissa information. We as a viewing public knows that "reality" tv is not reality. Production ALWAYS has input. I like the "Idea" of MVP but not the implementation. How do we know for sure how many votes anyone has. We are suppose to take the word of CBS?! Really? Even if they showed a poll, I still wouldn't believe it so what's the point! Elissa is from Concord, NC. Kannapolis, NC is 10 mins up the street. I live here also. Elissa is just as fake and irritating as her sister. What you see on TV, her talking about her charities, being a philanthropist, acting coy, innocent and slightly different in game play then Rachel is an ACT. She IS being told things by the producers, hence it would allow her to act a certain way to be portrayed on the show. That's not deserving on MVP because she has help. I miss the days of Dr. Will & Mike Boogie. That was a season!! Elissa needs to go this week. Once that happens, production will give the MVP to Helen.

If there's two things I really love it's midi skirts and a bold print, which is why I had to have this skirt. It is part of the Belle + Sky collection from JCPenney, I recently bought it in-store and they only had straight sizes ( I am wearing the size large), but they sell plus online here. This was one of my day outfits while in NYC, with a jacket of course, but thankfully the weather hasn't been to bad to me. I also can't stop wearing these lace up flats from Torrid, they are so comfy and were perfect for walking around in the city.

Spinning Straw Into Gold: Incorporating The Business and Human Rights Agenda Into International Investment Agreements.
University of Pennsylvania Journal of International Law
, 38
pp. 425-481.
Choudhury_Spinning Straw into Gold- Incorporating the Business and Human Ri.pdf - ["content_typename_Published version" not defined]
Download (981kB) | Preview
The adoption of the U.N. Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights represents a watershed moment in the business and human rights movement. Nevertheless, despite its achievements, the work to align business and human rights issues remains. One approach to furthering the work in this area has been to focus on the establishment of a new international binding treaty on business and human rights issues. Treaty proponents view a binding treaty as a mechanism by which existing gaps in human rights protection can be closed. Yet critics are skeptical. They point to the lack of treaty support by states which are headquarters for multinational corporations and worry about the diminishment of aspired treaty rights during the treaty negotiation process as evidence of their concerns. This article questions whether there is a need for a "new" international business and human rights treaty. Instead it argues that the linkage of business and human rights issues can be made by way of international investment agreements (IIAs). Given the bilateral or regional nature of IIAs, multilateral state support is lessened, facilitating adoption of new principles or rights. Moreover, IIAs offer a robust enforcement mechanism, through international arbitration, which can provide effective remedies. In addition, because multinational corporations are often reliant on IIAs to gain access to new markets, IIAs can be used as a tool to impose human rights obligations onto corporations from the outset before abuses occur. Most importantly, reconfiguring IIAs to adopt the BHR agenda ensures that norm development in business areas does not undermine human rights issues when these two areas intersect and that corporate rights stand in parallel to corporate obligations.

I can bet your quests will never guess what are you serving them! Easy and fast to make, tasty and unusual – beef squares. Beef could be substituted with any other ground meat – turkey, chiken or even ground fish. As you would see on the pictures- made by Alissa – yes, those tiny hands are not mine – so, you have no excuse for not trying them!

Foody Thursday – Cabbage Rolls – Holubtsi
I wanted to post this one for a long time, as cabbage rolls is one of the most known and loved Ukrainian foods. It might look like cooking cabbage rolls (Holubtsi in Ukrainian) is a complicated and time consuming process, but remember – logistics is the key. Carefully plan each activity and you will cut the time you spend on it tremendously.
Foody Thursday – "Berry Baskets" Pastries – Корзинки (Korzynky)
Now sure about present time, but about 25 years ago you could buy this treat at every bakery department or store in Ukraine. They were about double the size compared to mine, no fresh berries, mixture of jam and grated nuts at the bottom and a mountain of whipped egg whites on top. Used to cost 22 kopijkas (small change in Ukraine). The name was "Korzynky" or "Koshychky" which is essencially "Baskets" in Ukrainian. Well, I have the commercial recipe, which I will share along with some changes we decided to make. Enjoy!
Foody Thursday – Ukrainian Doughnuts – Пампушки
Yes, those are the ones my son was making and selling to get some cash for his new bike. We got tons of compliments and tons of recipe requests. So, here it is, so simple – 13-year old who never cooks can make it!
Foody Thursday – "Syrnychki" – Cottage Cheese Pancakes
I am having a bit of a cottage cheese craze – this would be the third recipe in a raw with cottage cheese as a main ingredient! Lets get started – great breakfast dish!
Foody Thursday – "Syrna Zapikanka" – Ukrainian Cheese Casserole
I used to hate cottage cheese as a kid. And my Grandma used to say that if I don't eat it I would never grow and my bones would be all weak. See what happens here? I am almost 6 feet tall and I never broke a bone in my life. And now, like 30 years later I don't mind cottage cheese.
Foody Thursday – "Little Porcupines" Pastries – Їжачки (Yizhachky)
These little guys remind me the pastries of my childhood – they had different shape but similar taste. I would say this is a recipe for a beginner chef – impossible to mess up.Well, aren't those really genius recipes?

Yesterday I wrote about Cary Tennis and the workshop he leads on Tuesday nights. It's an ongoing workshop (you can read more about them here). I'm a big fan. That's what yesterday's post was all about.
I'm such a big fan that I asked Cary to be the guest speaker of our first-ever Sips & Scribbles and then I asked him to lead our first-ever Write On, Mamas writing retreat. And he said "yes." Of course. Because Cary's cool like that.
This is what I love about Cary's workshops and Pat Schneider's Amherst Writers & Artists method:
- It takes the critic off my shoulder. You know, that little voice that second-guesses each word
- It's made me a more attentive listener when other writers read their work
- It's made me a better editor—sometimes the help another writer needs comes from knowing what already working
- It's helped me create a writing routine
- It makes me feel like a "real" writer
The retreat is on the calendar for January 27, 2013 from 1pm to 6pm at the O'Hanlon Center for the Arts.
I've already claimed my spot. There are 11 left. Contact me (Janine) at programs [at] writeonmamas [dot] com to claim yours.
OH! And you know why I'm writing this blog post in the first place, right? It's the Blog-off—I'm writing a blog post a day for every day of the Write On, Mamas Indiegogo campaign. We're writing a book! But we need a little seed money to make it happen. There are lots of perks to donating—including your own Blog-off Blog Post singing your praises.

Flushed with success after completing their banner task, the housemates were expecting a lavish reward on Wednesday – so were a bit disappointed to learn they had merely won access to the caravan!
Half the group turned their nose up at the prize, but meanwhile the twins, Laura, Gerry, Brian and Chanelle tucked into the strawberries and chocolate cake on offer inside.
Liam and Ziggy tried to have fun locking the group in, but they were perfectly happy stuffing their faces in the cosy cabin.
As soon as Gerry joked that it was the "caravan of love", Ziggy arrived right on cue for a slice of the action.
"Why are you turning your nose up at the caravan?" Demanded Chanelle.
"I'm not," he replied. "The caravan is sweet. We're gonna have a soiree here later."
Watch that confined space…

Installer cannot create upgrade directory
Got the following message from WordPress while installing a plugin. I've done this before with another domain. Now I'm starting over and have successfully installed 3 plugins – but now nothing flys. I've created and set the following directories to "777" and no change. These plugins are new to my account, I did not use them for my previous domain.

Hair color has come a long way from the 2007 chunky highlight (and since that time that Kat bleached the two front pieces of her hair RUINING her 7th grade yearbook photo smdh). Most of you have probably heard/Pinterested the word "balayage." But how do you pronounce it? What does it all mean??? When you're in the chair, it can be hard to explain what you really want. Let's be honest, hair color is COMPLICATED. And best left to professionals...but we feel like you deserve to know at least know some of the lingo. It's going on your precious head, after all.
If you're just doing a cut (or both!), check out the Dummy Dictionary for Haircuts here!
A term referring to variations of colors throughout the hair. Hair that is all one color could be considered "flat" or lacking depth.
Any technique (foiling, balayage/painting, etc) where pieces or sections of hair are lifted lighter than your natural or artificial base color. This helps create dimension or depth to the hair.
Any technique (foiling, painting, etc) where pieces or sections of hair are darkened with color to add dimension or accents to the hair.
A technique in which pieces or sections of hair are placed in aluminum foil. This traditionally has been used to create a more uniform look from roots to ends. Today many stylists use foiling to provide a variety of color applications and to speed up the processing time – foiling does not necessarily mean you are going to end up with stripes or chunks.
BALAYAGE (pronounced ball-eye-ahj)
A technique that involves painting or free-handing the hair color or lightener directly onto the surface of the designated sections to create dimension with a soft, natural appearance.
A technique that involves delicately highlighting the hair to create a very blended, yet dimensional, hair color. Designed to mimic the subtle tones seen on children's hair.
This refers to a more "grown out" look at the base of the hair, where you can see a darker shade throughout the root area, creating depth.
A technique used to soften or blend dimensional colors into one another. Can create a rooted look.
Color that is applied to the root area, or all over, to cover gray or create a uniform color.
Often referred to as a "Double Process" because sometimes two color applications are required. Generally, this is the process required for someone who wants to become all over platinum blonde.
Non-permanent hair color that allows for little or no lift (aka lightening). Most often used to enhance, refresh, darken, add shine, or intensify natural or color-treated hair. Very gentle on the hair and fades out over time.
A translucent, deposit-only color that generally has conditioning qualities. Often used to adjust the hue/shade of the highlighted hair to create a specific result. Can also be used to control brassy tones.
FAntasy COLORS
This refers to the application of "unnaturally" colored pigments such as red, blue, green, yellow, purple, pink, or pastel shades.
A trend where the hair is colored in a gradient so the entire bottom of the hair is a solid color (generally lighter than the root color). Usually looks very two-toned or "dip dyed". Sombré is the "soft ombré," where the color gradation is not as drastic from roots to ends.
A color with more blue, violet, and green pigments will be considered cool or ashy. Cool colors include icy platinum blonde, smokey brown, and plum/violet tinted reds.
A color with more red, orange, and yellow pigments will be considered warm. Warm colors include golden blonde, chocolate brown, and copper.
Refers to unwanted warm tones (red, orange, yellow). Often looks raw and "unfinished." Highlights, hair color, and even natural hair can take on a brassy tone over time but can be easily corrected.
Neither cool nor warm. An even balance of both pigments.
Refers to the pigments that occur in all natural hair colors. These underlying pigments vary depending on the person's natural hair color. A person with naturally dark hair will have more red and orange tones in their hair which is why it can be more difficult to achieve lighter, cooler colors.
Unprocessed and uncolored hair. A hairstylist's dream, because there are fewer surprises when coloring, and it's generally healthier and more resilient. But yeah, we agree... the term is weird.
Any instance in which the hairstylist needs to fix a bad color or drastically change the color. Booking tip: This can take several hours–in some cases, multiple appointments–so be prepared to sit for a while (and tip the hell out of your colorist ;))
Can come in a variety of colors designed to remove or add pigmentation to the hair. Most often seen is a violet, blue, or silver color used to remove and prevent brassy and yellow tones in blondes or naturally white hair. Tinted shampoos and conditioners are also great for reds to add more copper or red tones to the hair and keep the color looking fresh.

By Molly Kennedy
When I think about a woman in the Bible who was deemed "highly favored," my initial thoughts go to the woman from Proverbs 31--a woman who is worth more than diamonds, trusted by her husband, respected by her children. She's a businesswoman, a seamstress, a cook. She has a good attitude and is kind and wise. She always looks like she is coming from a modeling appointment. Clearly, she has the hand of God on her life. I can almost hear her singing with the animals while she's weaving her purple cloth. If only she would have written a book on personal growth.
And yet...the woman in the Bible who was considered highly favored was Mary, the mother of Jesus. What does a highly favored life look like in the Bible?
Pregnancy as a young teenager
By God
A fiance who was contemplating divorce
Raising a perfect son
Having your heart torn apart when your son is arrested, beaten, and crucified
The highly favored life is not always an easy life. I think this is especially true for moms in 2019. When we get on social media and see other moms doing it better. When we are so tired with a brand new baby that the thought of having to go to the store makes us cry. When we run carpool in our pajamas and hope we don't get pulled over. When our kids' choices make us hit our knees and beg for deliverance.
And yet...God doesn't make mistakes. He didn't put you in this generation with these kids and cross his fingers. He knew you could do it. He knew you could do it on your best days when your kids look up at you with love in their eyes. He knew you could do it on your worst days when you yell and belittle.
Psalm 8:3-4 (MSG) says,
Why indeed? Because we are highly favored. You, my friend, are highly favored.
What is the best thing that is happening to you right now as a mom? Do you know why that's happening? Because you are highly favored.
What is the hardest thing that you are going through right now as a mom? Do you know why that's happening? Because you are highly favored.
The dictionary defines "favored" as preferred or recommended. According to biblestudytools.com, the original Greek word is charitoo, which means to honor with blessings or to compass with favor--how gorgeous is that?
You are highly favored by the most interesting, most powerful, most beautiful King in the world. Just sit in that for a minute. He is absolutely crazy in love with you. So straighten your crown, sister. And no matter what is happening with your kids today, smile and rest in the fact that you are chosen, adored, and absolutely enveloped in God's favor.
And so are your kids.

Shaolin Pets is a great new game by Mass Creation and it offers a variety of game modes to keep you entertained.
I'm not entirely sure why it's called Shaolin Pets, it may be to do with the three characters you can choose from, being animals… But that doesn't really explain the 'pets' part.
The game involves you punching and swiping objects that are thrown at you as well as using your quick reactions to jump from one podium to the other.
Tap-fu is the first game mode that gives you six different tap zones and your aim is to tap the flying planks and pottery before it reaches the hit-zone and smacks your character on the head.
Swipe-fu is the most familiar of the three game modes and takes on the same concept as Fruit Ninja, the only difference is that you're not using a weapon to chop through the items when you swipe, your character comes karate kicking through the air into each object.
Jump-fu is a little different, you must use your reactions and wit to line up the jump line before the podiums collapse and you fall to your death!
Along the way, you can collect a bunch of power-ups to aid your progress throughout the game.
You can kung-fu your way through an evening too by downloading Shaolin Pets for free from the Google Play Store.

Stair Squats
Bring your right foot onto the first or second step, keep your weight on your left leg and lower into a squat as deep as you can. Press through your front heel to come back up. Repeat for 15 repetitions, then switch sides.
Upside Down Push Ups
Bring your feet onto the first or second (or third!) step, and make sure your shoulders are directly over your hands. Lower down into a push up and press back up. To modify this, do a push up with your feet on the ground or even on your knees.

Dip down again, and repeat for 15 reps.

With both legs, lower into a squat and jump up two steps at a time, all the way to the top of the stairs, then jog back down and continue for 1 minute. To modify, just jump up one step at a time.

During Thursday's "MTV First: Lady Gaga," we learned that the Mother Monster is set to open the 2011 Video Music Awards on August 28. While Gaga hasn't yet revealed what she has planned when the show takes place at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, she did say that all her performances — including her 2009 VMA set — relate to each other.
"I would say that my life is one continuous performance," Gaga told MTV News. "And that, in a way, all performances of mine relate to one another. And you will not be disappointed."

BELFAST (Reuters) - The leader of the Northern Irish party propping up Theresa May's government told the British prime minister on Monday that their opposition to her Brexit divorce deal had not changed, a spokesman for the party said.
May asked the Democratic Unionist Party's Arlene Foster in a phone call if there was any sign her party would change their stance in relation to supporting the withdrawal bill, Irish broadcaster RTE's Northern Ireland editor reported on Monday.
The DUP's spokesman told Reuters that Foster's advice to May was a reinforcement of deputy leader's Nigel Dodds stated position on Friday, when he called May's performance at an EU summit a "disappointing and inexcusable" failure.

Microsoft just announced that the next version of Windows will not be called Windows 9, but Windows 10 instead.
"It wouldn't be right to call it Windows 9. But unfortunately, Windows 1 has been done," said Windows chief Terry Myerson.
Windows 10 will run on a large array of devices from phones, tablets and desktop computers. Microsoft is finally going through with its vision of one version of Windows on all platforms, including the Xbox One.
Having one version of Windows offers an advantage for developers as it'll allow their apps to run on a bunch of different devices without creating multiple versions.

Well, I took my computer with me to BC thinking I might take a minute and make a post but I never did. I am a day late, but I still wanted to share what I am thankful for from last week. So, here we go:
- Ronnie and Leo had a good time fishing and even caught some fish. Ronnie brought Mom back with him and we had a good week despite the fact that she fell TWICE the day she came here.
- Thankful Mom didnt break anything or hurt very much the next day after her two falls. We immediately slathered her with blue stuff and Icy Hot and iced down her knees. It really made a difference in how sore she got, or should I say, "didn't get".
- Mom and I went to Target and bought the Twins and Honey Boy some presents. It was nice to be able to shop for them together and really nice to get most of the shopping done, since we only buy for the children.
- I am thankful for blessing, seen and unseen. We are in the process of trying to sell our house. Our realtor keeps telling us that things are just going to get worse. I feel strongly in my heart that God is working behind the scenes to make everything work out perfectly for us and for the next family for which this house is meant. So even though it seems like nothing is happening, I am grateful to know that there IS something happening.
- I tried a couple of new recipes last week and lo and behold, they actually tasted pretty good! Of course there is a little something in each I would change but all in all they were good.
- One extra, just for good measure. I am just thankful that in these hard times when so many are struggling we are doing well, have a roof over our head, transportation, a full pantry and love.
Thank you, Cape on the Corner, for allowing me to share all I am thankful for on your blog! I know sharing all we are thankful for helps us to see even more for which to be thankful. Hope you don't mind that it is a day late and hope you and yours had a fabulous Thanksgiving!

The winners of the Les Perkins Portrit Prize for 2018 have been announced.
First place winners for the three age categories are:
· Zac Dascoli (5-7 years) from Centaur Primary School, Banora Point
· Billy Miller (8-10 years) from Mt St Patrick Primary School, Murwillumbah
· Indira Mansted (11-13 years) home schooled.
The annual Les Peterkin Portrait Prize, on show at the Tweed Regional Gallery and Margaret Olley Art Centre from Friday 28 September until Sunday 2 December 2018, is a huge celebration of the artistic talent of local primary school students. The Prize is one of the Gallery's most popular exhibitions, and has once again attracted an enormous number of entries and participating schools.
Each prize winner, along with the creators of 37 other award-winning and commended works, will have the thrill of seeing their artworks professionally framed and hung in the prestigious setting of the Gallery.
A further 205 outstanding works will be displayed in folios for the duration of the exhibition.
Working on the theme Going to a Fancy Dress Party, primary school students sketched, collaged, photographed and painted images that capture their unique character in costume through portraiture. This year's theme was set for students to create a portrait that captured themselves in fancy dress. Students were encouraged to explore the pose, costume and facial expressions of their character.
The Prize is named after legendary local artist and art teacher Les Peterkin, and is made possible by the financial support of Tweed Shire Council and Tyalgum Public School, with assistance from the Friends of the Tweed Regional Gallery and Margaret Olley Arts Centre Inc., Derivan - maker of quality artist materials, School Art Supplies - leading supplier of art and craft materials, Bunnings at Tweed Heads South, Murwillumbah Services Club and Office Max.
The Gallery hosted an official opening and prize-giving ceremony last Thursday afternoon, where many children, family and friends came dressed in costumes. The exhibition was officially opened by the Principal of Tyalgum Public School, Janelle Cloherty, followed by the keenly anticipated announcement of winners and prize-giving presented by Marianne Galluzzo, Prize Coordinator; Alan Hann, President of the Friends of the Gallery and the Prize's namesake himself - Les Peterkin.

In April, Dallas Morning News' Robert Wilonsky and Dallas Historic Preservation Officer Mark Doty unveiled some rare footage of a Dallas that is unknown to most of us. The two-minute clip shows a 1939 version of Downtown Dallas and surroundings, revealing the pre-Central Expressway and pre-Mixmaster city core as an energetic nexus of commerce, shopping, and entertainment (and Downtown movie theaters!).
Insight from Doty in the video's introduction reveals that this era in Dallas was the "time period where Downtown Dallas matured and reached a zenith of density and scope and scale", and that the introduction of Stemmons and Central Expressways were really the harbinger of Downtown Dallas's future decline.
Recently, our office has been conducting research into the history of our neighborhood, and the central Dallas area in general. I believe, as many others do, that Dallas is at a critical point in its development. We've seen already what the expansion of the highway system and disinvestment in the city core does to the life and vibrancy of not only downtown but also the surrounding neighborhoods such as Deep Ellum and the Cedars.
It's interesting that found in the talk of reviving Downtown and Deep Ellum are embedded visions of what Dallas could be: a city where people want to live IN the city, able to walk or take transit to areas of entertainment, shopping, and food, and living close to work.
Is it possible that in looking at what Dallas used to be, we could find pieces here and there that perfectly match the vision of what Dallas could be?

the next chapter in the story of Stiling's Workshop.
the toy shop that jack built
A toy is a catalyst for imagination, an exploration of an idea, just as a sketch is drawn before a mural and a model before a technological breakthrough.
Old World Mettle provides hand-built, traditionally-themed 'toys' through the means of ingenious and inventive contraptions. An experience of playful interaction, artistic collaboration and social experimentation, it's a good tug at the strings of the inner infantile puppet kept under lock and key by adult rationality.
imperfect toys for imperfect times
Modern takes on resurrected designs of antique playthings.
Mechanically restored and modified examples of original tinplate and clockwork toys. Well-built and well-loved, these antiques are are rebuilt and offered a second chance to excite, fascinate and inspire.
in progress...
The Spick-n-Span range embodies the history of the traditional toy genre while reviving it in a contemporary context.
Available for the collector and admirer, these one-off handcrafted artworks are designed and built from scratch in the workshop, or supplied by a co-operative of fellow artisans doing much the same. These pieces are as unique as the individual who makes them, a culmination of skill, talent and hours of hard work.
For this project, not even the humble box sees compromise. Take a look:
humble work & mad wanderings
Operating as platforms for display will be two mobile stalls. On town streets and public events, they are to be spectacular in themselves: a mass of movement, colour and excitement.
The large stall will invite the audience to play, interact with and race the exhibits. For public entertainment, eccentricity and improbability will be paramount to ensure a complex visual experience.
It will offer a 'pay to play' service at £1 per wind of locomotive or per putt-putt boat race.
Scratch built, with tricks up every sleeve.
A smaller stall will be made to be carried on the back in order to trade whilst walking the streets.
Mobility is essential in this case as it is to be built to comply with The Pedlar's Act (1871).
This project is entirely self funded with every aspect designed and built by one man in the time that can be afforded between surviving and running Stiling's Workshop.
Please read the full plan, donate or buy the products on this website. Every purchase is in direct support of Old World Mettle, an independent business born out of sheer hard work and relentless optimism.
please donate!
It's as easy as 1,2,3.

Gujarat: BJP MP sentenced to 3 years for assaulting govt doctor
Ahmedabad, Apr 14: BJP MP Naranbhai Kachhadia was on Wednesday, April 13, sentenced to three years imprisonment by a court in Amreli for assaulting a doctor at a government hospital in 2013.
Judge D R Bhatt also imposed a fine of Rs 35,000 on the two-term MP from Amreli. The court stayed the sentence for a month so as to enable Kachhadia and other convicts to approach the high court against the conviction.
Kachhadia might face disqualification under The Representation of The People Act as per the July 2013 judgement of the Supreme Court.
He and others were accused of beating up Bhimjibhai Dabhi, a doctor at Amreli civil hospital, on January 1, 2013, for refusing to attend to a BJP worker's relative.
Dabhi asked the patient to wait as he was tending to another person. The patient called up Kachhadia who came to the hospital and beat up Dabhi, apart from hurling casteist abuse. Dabhi belongs to a scheduled caste.
A case was registered under the SC and ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and the IPC. The court acquitted the MP of the charge under the SC and ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, but awarded him three years' imprisonment for 'voluntarily causing hurt to deter a public servant doing his duty', and 'using force or violence through unlawful assembly'.
Four others -- Kirit Bhamja, Madhu Joshi, Ravi Joshi and the MP's driver were also sentenced to three years's prison term.
