In excitable cells, intracellular Ca is released via the ryanodine receptor from the intracellular Ca storing structure, the sarcoplasmic reticulum. To determine whether this released Ca propagates through gap junctions to neighboring cells and thereby constitutes a long-range signaling network, we developed a cell system in which cells expressing both connexin43 and ryanodine receptor are surrounded by cells expressing only connexin43. Propagation of Ca to neighboring cells was observed with a Ca imaging system using fura-2/AM. We next evaluated the functional roles of cysteine residues in the extracellular loops of connexin43 in gap junctional communication. Mutations of cysteine residues showed that two pairs of intramolecular disulfide bonds are formed. Thus, the extracellular disulfide bonds of connexin43 are crucial for this process. Gap junctional protein connexin43, localized to the intercalated discs of cardiac myocytes, plays a critical role in the synchronization of their contractions. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments using co-expressed epitope-tagged connexin43 and ZO-1 in transfected HEK293 cells indicated that ZO-1 links connexin43. Affinity binding assay using deleted ZO-1 and deleted connexin43 fusion proteins showed that the C-terminal region of connexin43 binds to the N-terminal region of ZO-1. Overexpression of the N-terminal domain of ZO-1 in connexin43-expressing cells resulted in the redistribution of connexin43 from the cell-cell interfaces to the cytoplasmic structures, in accordance with the loss of electrical coupling. We therefore conclude that the linkage of connexin43 with ZO-1 may serve to localize the connexin43 at the intercalated discs, thereby generating the functional gap junction in cardiac myoctyes.

Every year thousands of children fall victim to the crimes of sex traffickers. Taken from their homes, out of their yards, while they are with their family or among friends. They are taken for the pure pleasure and enjoyment of those that will get gratification from selling these young children.
These children have no choice as their life is usually determined by those that take them for their own gratification. Just to make a profit. These children are usually young, innocent beings that have no idea what is coming to them.
What these traffickers didn't see coming? Operation Cross Country XI. This operation started from a sting that began in 2003 called the Innocence Lost National Initiative. This 2003 sting is responsible for finding and identifying around 6,500 children since then.
From Innocence Lost National Initiative came Operation Cross County XI– This particular sting has caught 120 sex traffickers and rescued 84 children from those that are most dangerous people.
"This operation isn't just about taking traffickers off the street. It's about making sure we offer help and a way out to these young victims who find themselves caught in a vicious cycle of abuse."
Field offices, Child Exploitation Task Forces, along with 500 other law enforcement agencies across multiple states are fighting to make it right for those innocent children.
Among these children was a three month old and her five year old sister. A family friend that had been staying with the children. That friend was trying sell the children for their own benefit.
"Pimps who force or coerce adults to engage in prostitution are also committing acts of human trafficking."
Operation Cross Country XI is doing the best that they can to get these awful people off the streets. The world will be a safer place for young kids.
Do you think what Operation Cross Country XI is doing something amazing? Be sure to like and SHARE this article with family and friends now!

Why Rent?
Owned Equipment costs many times it's purchase price
12 sound reasons why you should rent your equipment
1. Maintenance - Equipment rented on a day to day basis includes full maintenance.
2. Breakdown - When rented equipment breaks down, it can be replaced with a minimum amount of down time.
3. Warehousing - Rental Equipment does not require any storage space from the user, reducing overhead.
4. Cost Control - It is difficult to know the true cost of the use of owned equipment. Rented equipment offers just one accountable cost figure.
5. Inventory Control - The presence of continuous billing on a rented item tends to establish accountability for that item. Contractors, in particular often find that they have less inventory loss due to pilferage when equipment is rented rather than owned.
6. Disposal Costs - It costs money to sell any type of used or obsolete equipment. Preparation for sale, advertising, and selling time are cost factors of ownership that do not occur in renting.
7. Obsolescence - Ownership involves the risks of being handicapped with equipment that is not as well suited to a job as newer, updated equipment.
8. Correct Equipment for the Job - Ownership often forces another kind of inefficiency through the use of the wrong size or type equipment for a given job. This can mean additional hidden costs. Renting assures the right tool for the job.
9. Minimum Equipment for the Job- When ownership of basic equipment only is combined with rental as needed, idle time of equipment is minimized.
10. Personal Property Taxes and Licenses - There are no personal property taxes or license costs for the user of rented equipment.
11. Conservation of Capital - Renting frees capital for other, potentially more profitable used than that of being tied up in equipment.
12. Increases Borrowing Capacity - The equipment user that rents rather than buys generally finds borrowing easier because he has a better ratio of assets to liabilities.

Despite early predictions that digital platforms would not impinge on the high-touch in-store sales experience for luxury consumers — convenience, accessibility and independence from salespeople have become the new hallmarks of "low-touch luxury." Yet many Watches & Jewelry brands, including Rolex, Hublot and Boucheron, still treat their products as Fabergé eggs, not to be tarnished by e-commerce.
Remarkably, among the subset of 28 Watches & Jewelry brand sites L2 has tracked since 2010, support for direct e-commerce was stagnant from 2013 to 2014, stalling at 54 percent. Of the 82 brands in L2's wider category Index, just 45 percent support e-commerce. The tepid attitude toward e-commerce is even more prevalent outside the U.S. Just one out of five L2 Index brands supports e-commerce across E.U. market, and in Asia, aside from Japan, brands largely abstain from e-commerce in favor of alternative paths to purchase.
Brands that do support e-commerce tend to do so begrudgingly. Levels of e-commerce site services and functionality are disappointingly at odds with the price points — over half of e-commerce-enabled Watches & Jewelry sites now sell products above $25,000 — and customer sophistication. Only half of brands selling online provide customer service during checkout, for instance, and fewer support one-page checkout.
A quarter of e-commerce-enabled brands still elect to keep e-commerce at arm's length by implementing e-boutiques as separate destinations or "add-ons" to the primary brand site. Breitling- the category's most recent convert to e-commerce – uses this technique. These separated boutiques tend to mar the consumer experience by expanding the clicks needed to reach a product page, often causing awkward shifts in site templates and even directing customers to out-of-stock items.
Premium brands are also falling behind in mobile, where there's a drop-off in e-commerce functionality compared to desktop sites. Two-thirds of brands in L2's Watches & Jewelry Index brands now maintain mobile-optimized properties, but fewer than 40 percent support m-commerce and lag desktop sites in overall features.
The digital holdouts will ultimately be dragged into the e-commerce age as the numbers become harder to deny. Take Cartier, which has sold jewelry online in the U.S. since 2010 — its online sales now rank third only behind sales at its two major flagships.

My dog Jack gets two walks every day. I like to support his effort to pee on every square inch of the neighborhood. The recent time change means that our morning walks are conducted in the dark. I'm not sure which is worse, being able to see the possibly rabid animals that inhabit our neighborhood, or just imagining them.
Foxes are doing really well around our house. We see them nearly every day. I used to be so enamored with them, especially when they constructed a whelping den under my neighbor's front porch. I would stealthily watch the babies play and learn to hunt, using binoculars and patience – a lot like Jane Goodall. But lately, the foxes are not as afraid of me as I would like. They don't run away when they see us coming, or even when I make sudden noises at them. This scares me a bit. Sometimes I carry a stick on our walks to fend off any potential attacks.
Jack doesn't really notice the foxes or other critters. I've never had his vision tested, but he really misses a lot of action. Rabbits running across our path do not deter Jack from his mission to pee on every square inch of the neighborhood. And unless they are making one of their awful noises, he rarely notices the foxes, despite the fact that they are the same size if not larger than him.
This morning, because of the recent time change, every shrub took on the shape of a coyote or a rabid raccoon. The rustling of birds sounded more like the scritch scratching of rats. I even started constructing some paranormal plot lines. And then I noticed the flashing yellow lights. A school bus, I thought. Then, no, possibly a cement mixer on a tow truck. Wait. What the heck was that? The mystery vehicle turned up our street and I pulled on the leash, forcing Jack to abandon his efforts to pee on every square inch of the neighborhood, so we could try and catch another glimpse.
A space shuttle? A rocket? It pulled in to the elementary school parking lot beyond our house. Jack definitely saw it and was a little disturbed by the flashing lights and loud engine, but I continued to drag him along with me, eager to find out what this thing, no longer just a figment of my imagination, was. Definitely a space ship. No. Really. Evidently it's "Space Ship Day" at the local school, and this thing on the tow truck was a space ship simulator. How many bake sales must it have taken to fund this? (And are the neighbors invited?)
Jack and I returned from our walk and I told my husband about the space ship. His bemused expression, most likely the result of some of my other imagined sightings, told me he did not believe the story. Fortunately, I bring my cell phone with me on these dark, early morning walks. (You never know when you might need to call 911 or Animal Control.) I was able to photograph the space ship before it took off.

In Jana Mendez's Sunday opinion piece, she presents a case for why she cannot support Amendment 73. Unfortunately, it is full of errors.
If Mendez had read the language that can easily be found on the Secretary of State's website, she would see that Amendment 73 proposes "reducing the current residential assessment rate of 7.2 percent to 7 percent and the current non-residential assessment rate of 29 percent to 24 percent." I'm not sure why she fashions an entire article out of incorrect information except to scare people into voting against Amendment 73.
What scares me are things like the four-day school week that over half our state's districts are running in some of their schools to reduce costs, the flight of teachers across our northern border to Wyoming, where starting pay is $15,000 higher, or how a starting teacher in many rural districts earns enough to put his/her family of four onto food stamps. I will be voting in favor of Amendment 73. With its passage, 100 percent of taxpayers will see no increase in their residential or commercial property tax rates.

"Go big or go home!" is a popular saying in my family. When it came to my first styled shoot, that is exactly what I did!
Photographers, venues, and wedding vendors of all sorts use styled shoots to explore creative ideas, build working relationships with other vendors and to build their portfolios. I've loved the style of Pear Tree Estate since they opened. I figured as a new business, it may be awhile before I had the chance to be a part of an event there. Luckily earlier this year, Heather and Kristin at Sweet Darling Weddings tossed my name into contention for an amazing opportunity to design for one of their styled tastings. Annie, Lauren, and their staff go above and beyond for their clients. They frequently hold tasting events for couples and their families to help select their menu. To enhance the experience, they have organized styled shoots on the same day as the tastings. Bringing together some of the best wedding vendors in the area, no detail goes untouched. Their clients walk into a fully decorated reception space complete with custom touches top to bottom.
When Annie presented me with the color scheme, linens and inspiration photos for the shoot, I was instantly inspired and excited. I jump at every chance I get to design with color. The deep pinks and corals paired with the sleek acrylic made for a high impact, modern look that dazzled the eye in every direction.
I couldn't have asked for a better group of people to work with on this shoot! It was an amazing day from the moment I arrived to tear down twelve hours later.

What wondrous life is this I lead
Exhibition and performance space.
Exhibition or performance space, kitchen or dining area, cinema or workshop, the glasshouse is a space that exudes and feeds creativity.
Designed to complement, frame and elevate the outside, it appears to breathe with the surrounding environment.
Creative hub
Through music, film, photography, food and craft demonstrations, pop-ups and supper clubs, The Glasshouse is a hub of creativity.
By day, light pours in, refracted by the leaves and distorted by the imperfections of the horticultural glass.
By night, light is reflected within, changing the perception of space.
The glasshouse structure was originally designed to stand for 30 years. It gradually fell into a derelict state of repair. With careful restoration, Hasa Architects have painstakingly restored the structure and the glass, transforming it into the space it is today.

To celebrate the Halloween season, the Nelson Star is exploring various "haunted" buildings in the city. This is the second instalment of a month-long series of interviews with Chris Holland about haunted locations around Nelson.
Apparently ghosts like to drink too.
Late one night at the Nelson Brewing Company building on Latimer Street, as a staff member was locking up and turning off the lights, they spotted a solitary apparition suds-sipping in the shadows.
"Their first reaction was: somebody's broken in and is drinking our beer," paranormal investigator Chris Holland told the Star. "But as they got closer they realized nobody was there, and then suddenly the coldest breeze they'd ever experienced washed over them."
But the staff member wasn't eager to share their experience — quite the opposite. Instead they were sheepish, embarrassed, not sure how to process what they'd just gone through. According to Holland that's typical for supernatural interactions.
"You get this joking reluctance. They want to blame it on rats or something. You have to coax the information out of them. But what I've heard from multiple people is that this doesn't feel like just an old building. It feels like there's some sort of presence."
And that's why he's keen to investigate further.
"In the early 50s the property was left derelict and it was going to be destroyed, but somehow it never was. The fire department was looking at it wondering 'when are we going to light this place up for practice?'"
Then, in the 1990s, a $200,000 investment breathed new life into the building, turning it into a multiplex. But it retained all the energy that had accumulated over the years as well, which Holland believes is responsible for the strange occurrences.
"At different points there were people living in there, while it was abandoned. They would crash and flop and I think that brought some extreme energies. But then there's also all the good times the brewery brought, all the people who are devoted to that place and have good memories of it."
Holland shared one story about a staff member who spotted a ghost at the end of a hallway, walking away, but it evaporated the moment they gave chase.
"They're not thinking ghost. They're thinking I need to protect my business, but then they turn the corner and nobody's there. All the doors are locked."
All of this to say he believes the ghost is benevolent, like many of the so-called caretaker ghosts in the area, and is keeping the Nelson Brewing Company protected.
"The Latimer Street building is new on the radar, and I would say right now it's the number-one target for paranormal investigations. My assumption is that it's a benevolent protector, and like with a lot of the homes in Nelson you get a feeling that the ghosts really love the building. The fact it's still running is a testament."

Published in Spear's Magazine, 20 June 2018
It was a slow start to the summer for Sotheby's as the Impressionist and Modern evening sale failed to reach its pre-sale estimate, writes Olenka Hamilton
There was disappointment for Sotheby's Modern and Impressionist department in London this week, when it achieved its lowest total for a sale since 2012. The evening sale reaped just £87.5 million – below its pre-sale estimate and down 32 per cent from a year ago.
Expectations were low from the start, with the pre-sale estimate of £99.7 million to £124.6 million pitched lower than for the equivalent sales in three of the past four years. The auction house sold a disappointing 26 of 36 lots, ten of which fetched below-estimate prices. Even the top lot, Picasso's 1932 painting of his lover Marie-Therese Walter, which was guaranteed before the sale, fetched £27.3 million, falling short of its £33 million estimate.
'There were two main factors that contributed to the limp auction results at Sotheby's,' explains Ariane Belisle, an art advisor and curator based in London. 'Firstly, sourcing outstanding masterpieces for the sale proved to be difficult (this was seen in a modest pre-sale estimate); and secondly the fact that Impressionist and Modern art saw very successful sales in spring 2018 – namely, Christie's Rockefeller auction in May – which meant that the demand just wasn't there.'

Mabel slept here
47 Hamilton Terrace
Mabel lunched with Enid. I got my hair waved and did some local shopping. Mrs Parsons came out to tea and we had a great talk about Birmingham. She is trying to get me some Irish tweed for a coat and skirt.
Lil came back from Freda Grace's today to a hot and empty flat as her maid doesn't return from Ireland till the end of the week.
A tragedy. Mabel's diamond ring (mother's) has disappeared. She is almost certain she left it in her bedroom this morning!!
Tuesday, 19 August
Mabel slept here
At 4 am the police rang at the door and told me a burglar had confessed to opening my dining room window which I had closed last night. He had been arrested with a girl confederate. Nothing seems to have been taken.
Mabel and I caught the 11.18 to Horsham and were met by Joan and Reg at the station. We had a delightful time at the farm and a super lunch and tea out on the terrace.
Got back before 7 o'clock. Police called later about last night. I have to go to Marylebone Police Court next Tuesday to give formal evidence about window.
Celia has searched the house and alas there is no trace of the missing ring.

Mabel slept here
Reg and Joan turned up in the car about 11 o'clock and I went with them to Paddington and saw her off by the 12.30 train to Weymouth. Reg came back here for lunch. Mabel was here too. She had tea with Diana and then went on to Lil before going to read to Clara in hospital. She got back for a latter supper.
I got Martin to send along his plumbers to see if Mabel's ring could have got down the waste pipe, but there was no sign of it.

Mabel slept here
A glorious day, quite hot enough in the afternoon. Lil came to lunch and stayed for tea.
Saturday, 23 August
Mabel slept here
Felt very tired. Mabel and I went to the Open- Air Theatre in Regent's Park to see The Midsummer Night's Dream with Robert Atkins as Bottom. Very pretty mise en scène and lighting, but what a tedious play. Very dark coming back through the Park.
Sunday, 24 August
Mabel slept here
Mabel and I went to the 10.15 Communion at St Mark's Hamilton Terrace - lunched at McWhirter's Restaurant (very poor) and went to tea with the Gerald Thompsons at 77 HT.

text: Nanoporous materials are currently of great interest. Examples include membranes, catalyst, adsorbents, low-dielectric materials, skin and biological tissues. These materials, depending on their pore space morphology, contain a range of pore sizes. However, the main resistance to the transport process is offered by interconnected nano- and mesopores. Because of the exceedingly small sizes of the pores, the behavior of fluids and their mixtures inside such pores is very different from that in the bulk. Hence, one must resort to molecular dynamics simulations in order to gain a better understanding of transport of fluid mixtures in such materials. Since transport in such materials takes place under an external driving force, such as a chemical potential or pressure gradient, one must use non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations, which are far more complex than equilibrium MD methods, especially when one wishes to simulate transport of fluids in a three-dimensional pore structure. We describe recent advances in understanding transport of fluid mixtures in nanoporous materials using NEMD methods. We also describe a statistical mechanical theory that provides adequate description of some of the phenomena that occur in nanopores during transport of fluid mixtures.

Breaking up with a Cheater so They'll Never Forget You.
I've always hated that my boyfriend and I lose things all the time, such as keys, phones, and debit cards. We were scatterbrained and thought ten thoughts at once, and in a way, that linked us together. But this time, it ended us and I couldn't be happier.
We had been planning to go to New York City with my ballroom dance partner that weekend. There was a dance competition happening about five minutes from where he grew up, so my partner and I were training for it intensely and I was getting excited about seeing the areas of New York my boyfriend grew up in. I'd only been there three times: twice for choir in college and once for a spontaneous romantic weekend getaway with someone else I dated.
But I was more excited to see his own life. He seemed very lost in Boston since he moved a few months ago, and he seemed to run back to New York any chance he could. I enjoyed showing him around the city I know and love, introducing him to my friends (with whom he didn't always get along with because of his strong personality), and I still wanted to show him many more places in the city when he wasn't so busy running back and forth on the weekends for school, work and seeing his family in New York. But we had been seeing each other for months now, and I was going to meet the people that were important to him. Even though he had always treated me well when I was with him, I was always curious to see how he was around his close family and friends. You know, because the real test of who a person really is like is how they treat the people that they should have a loving, caring bond with. In addition, everything he showed me about Park Slope, the neighborhood he grew up in, seemed absolutely gorgeous and dreamlike. I wanted to share those cherished memories he had with him.
Unfortunately, planning this the week of was a little difficult. I stayed over at his place on Tuesday night that week and sometime between us stopping at the liquor store and coming back to his place, we misplaced his phone and we couldn't find it in the morning. So Facebook messenger was our main form of communication, which was really hard since he didn't have wifi available at his house. He was planning on coming over on Thursday at 5pm so we could book the hotel for the weekend since none of his family could let the three of us stay over.
I needed also to pick up some spray tan for the Latin dance portion, so I drove to a beauty place to pick some up. When I found out they didn't have the brand that my more experienced tanning friend told me to get for competition, I started driving home. Darn! As I started driving back home to regroup and figure out what to do next since I needed a spray tan (I had tan lines that would show in my dress), and I tried to logistically think through my tan. Perhaps I can enlist my boyfriend's help with this by asking him to scrub me down, examine my arms and legs for any areas of hair I forgot to shave down, and then spray tan me naked (you know, to avoid any tan lines). He was planning on coming by at 5, although he is notorious for being late.
I pull out my phone at the next red light to Facebook message him this somewhat-sexy-but-probably-not proposal.
Bzzz Bzzz. 3:13pm on Thursday, I heard the phone buzzing somewhere in my car.
HIS PHONE! IT'S IN MY CAR! He'll be so happy to know I found it! Good thing I'm just around the corner from home, the thing is probably dying after two days and I need to call it one more time to find out exactly where in my messy-live-in car it is.
I pulled into the driveway and called it. Sure enough, it buzzed loudly under the seat. Of course it fell under the passenger seat, just enough so that it was out of sight. And just in time! The screen was just about to turn off, so it's a good thing I found it before it died and was significantly harder to find.
But it didn't turn off fast enough for me to see the one thing that changed everything.
Tinder push notifications. Two of them.
My heart died a little along with his phone when I saw that. No. There's no way he would do that. I know he was on Tinder when we first met, and he told me without me pushing for it — SEVERAL TIMES, most recently about two weeks ago — that he uninstalled it from his phone. There's no way.
I must be crazy. Maybe I just saw something that wasn't there. Who knows? There's only one way. I put the phone in my car charger (thank GOD he has a Droid like me!) and started driving so it could charge.
I didn't know where I was driving. I guess figured if I drove in circles in one direction, my head would stop spinning in the opposite direction. But I just got more anxious. I wanted to turn it on now and just verify that the app isn't even on his phone, that I just imagined the push notifications, that maybe he actually was just turning girls down out of courtesy from before we were dating. After all, he was the one that just insisted yesterday that this is the happiest he had ever been in a monogamous relationship. After all, he calls me all the time when I'm not with him, sometimes for up to two or three hours a day. After all, he taught me how to cook and encouraged me towards the dreams I have. After all, he told me he loved me in the car on the the way to the grocery store out of the blue and he was completely nervewracked that he did it because he meant it, but he didn't want to say it so soon and scare me away.
Then the battery life hit 5%. I pressed the button to turn on the phone. The startup time was excruciatingly slow.
It's okay. Just breathe, you're going to look through his apps, not even his messages or anything. Just look and see if he has the app. Once you see that it's not there, you can calm down and realize that you have the sweet, caring, hilarious —
I found the app under T. Tinder.
— …lying, womanizing, leeching asshole you've had all long.
I couldn't even pretend that he just forgot to delete it because he got a new phone a month ago. He had to purposely install it for it to be on there.
Do I have the right to see what's on that app? After a few seconds hesitation, I decided I did.
I know someone that is married and is on Tinder, and she literally just waits to get matches and for men to tell her she's pretty, and then her confidence gets bolstered enough that she closes the app and has a lovely monogamous time with her husband (and her husband is okay with that!). Surely since I know I don't give him nearly as many compliments as he would like since he's always fishing for them, it could be a similar thing?
It most definitely was NOT a similar thing.
Based on what I saw, it looked like he spoke and made a few conversational connections with girls he talked to, gave them his number saying "it's easier to text," then unmatched them, presumably once they texted him. Only three girls were on his Tinder, and one of them he had a conversation with. One other girl he just matched with. Out of a little bit of spite, I unmatched her for him.
Freaking out, I texted my friend what happened. She started responding to calm me down. At this point, I was still willing to see him and have a civilized conversation with him about this, and she agreed that it's healthy for me to do that rather than hold it in like nothing happened.
But here I was faced with two ways to look at the impending situation: society's guilt trip of "why are you going through your boyfriend's phone? Don't you trust him?" and the girl power message of "you have a reason to! You saw a sign he might be cheating without looking for it and looked into it to confirm yourself. That's 100% valid!" I wrestled with both thoughts, two conflicting ideas that were keeping me from going further down the rabbit hole. But the fact of the matter is, there are girls he's giving his number out to and talking to. Did I have the courage to look through his messages and find out if he's been meeting up with them?
My hand was shaking. I was taking deep breaths in. I don't know if I have the courage to do it. I swallowed hard, stared at the ceiling of my car, and blinked. Then my hand shook enough for me to just press it mid-hand tremor. My body made the choice for me before my mind did.
3:52pm. That was when I saw the messages from his best friend from when they worked at the Empire State Building in New York. Just two days prior. I didn't even have to scroll up to see them, they were just there. He was bragging to his friend that on Monday, he slept with a girl he met on Tinder and then came to my place to sleep with me. Then on Tuesday, he slept with another girl he met on Tinder and then came to my place to sleep with me.
The spinning came to a screeching halt. Nothing existed in that moment. Not a damn thing. The only thing that was in focus was this message that revealed my greatest nightmares. And then it disappeared briefly as my eyes swelled up. Blurriness ensued, and my mind was numb. Normally I have ten thoughts going on in my head at once, but in this moment, nothing in my head remotely resembled a language anyone could understand.
After a few minutes of feeling like I was in a vegetable state, a few thoughts went through my head.
One, my New York trip was now cancelled. I'd be an idiot if I went somewhere so close to his very large family, even for the dance competition, especially with what was about to happen with us next.
Two, the decision is easy here. I had told him several times that cheating is a 100% instant deal breaker for me. I catch you cheating, I don't even have to say it. It's assumed we are done. It's not like I didn't give him an out — I was open to the idea of an open relationship and us being the primary, but he insisted that he didn't want to see other girls. Why he chose this over that situation is completely beyond me. But this made it really easy to know what to do next. I don't tolerate cheaters, no matter how good the sex is, no matter what they teach me to cook, and no matter how much they may try to beg. And the swifter and more straightforward I can be about this, the better for both of us. He's already humiliated himself by getting found out, so he doesn't need to help by ugly crying or trying to come up with a pathetic excuse that even a dog wouldn't believe. There is no explanation necessary here. It's simply over.
Three, I need to drink heavily with friends immediately after this ordeal is over. As the strong independent woman I am, I have friends that are drawn to me for my strength and will want to make sure that I'm mentally okay so I can continue helping as many people as I can.
And so the plan started.
4:13, I pull into the driveway. I stop and text both of my room mates, "So I'm going to warn both of you now. I'm going to have a really ugly breakup and I expect it to start at 5." I roll my eyes as I say this though. He was always late, so the likelihood of 5:30 or even 6 when he said he'd be here at 5 was more likely.
Then I paused in reflection for a moment. It made so much sense now. This is why he was always late. This is why he told me to come by his place at 7. This is why he didn't want me coming over without me telling him. I opened his phone again and scrolled up.
Yep, confirmation. He slept with girls right after work before he saw me. One weekend when I thought he was away, he spent it with a girl in her hotel room and "used all her holes, Bro." My heart was in my stomach and it felt like a ticking time bomb that threatened to explode any minute. I can't believe this never registered in my head. This is the man — no, not a man, man child — I thought was loyal and amazing, and he was everything but.
I wanted to get sick to remove this feeling. Instead, I walked into my house, my makeup bag in hand from when I made up my face this morning haphazardly in the car.
One of my room mates was still home. We never really got along until it was confirmed he was moving out at the end of this month. For some reason he's been super nice to me now. He stares at me and says, "Did you see my message?" I look down at my phone.
"Sounds like an excellent time to go for a walk and grab the cupcake mix I've been hankering for…"
He was just trying to make me laugh. But all I could say was the truth.
"He's been cheating on me," I croaked, eyes swelling up with tears threatening to spill. "At least five girls this month. And who knows how many before then since he lost his phone."
My room mate looked at me wide-eyed, let out a sad moan, then his eyes turned over with pity. He stood up and outstretched his arms for me. "Oh, I'm sorry."
Tears didn't fall, but I sobbed a few times before saying, "I just feel so stupid for not seeing this — "
"Nonononono, this has nothing to do with you!" He started shaking his head. "NOTHING. You hear me? It's nothing to do with you and everything to do with him!"
Who would have thought the room mate that my boyfriend couldn't stand the past few months would be the one to comfort me like this when that same boy shattered my heart? Not me, that's for sure.
I grabbed my makeup bag. "I want to look drop dead gorgeous when I do this."
My room mate clapped his hands approvingly. "Do it up!"
I went to the bathroom mirror to wash my face down. My foundation is going to be flawless, I think to myself. I'm going to pick just the right shade of pink for my lips, I'm going to use purple eyeshadow to really bring them out, and eyeliner — just the way he likes it. I texted my friend I was messaging earlier the newest installment, and she makes plans to see me out in Harvard Square — ironically, very close to where I first met him — to recoup and comfort. I text another friend of mine he really liked and wanted to have a threesome with (ugh), and tell her to come out with us because I really, really need her comfort. She agrees without me telling her anything. I'll tell her in person.
I look at the messages his friend and him exchange. Is he the only one that knew? No, because based on the conversation, he talked to his brother. That fight he had with his older brother claiming he grabbed my ass in public sometimes, and when his brother reprimanded him, he brought up his transgressions of cheating on his wife? No, the fight was his brother telling him to stop cheating on me and be loyal. What was the reason he gave to his friend? "I'm young and I have a high sex drive." Who is this person? I barely recognize him.
He never struck me as a Bro. He almost never said it and claimed that working in a gym was an "intellectual prison." But he seemed to have no problem using Bro at the end of every other sentence with this friend.
I remember thinking, he'll never forget how I looked when I broke up with him if I took a picture of myself on his phone. What if I sent it to his friend now? He has no way of finding out that I know already. He's mid-transit to my place without his phone, most likely stopping to get his dick sucked along the way.
I tried to get the lighting right in my bathroom, then I put my hand up and gave a solid middle finger next to my perfectly primed face. Before sending it, I wrote in the caption "Got caught Bro." Sent. If nothing else, when he talks to his friend, he can look at my titillating, taunting face.
Now for the plan for the breakup. I thought through how I wanted it to look while I grabbed the two pairs of his sweatpants I had, one pair of clean underwear he left one time (arguably this was indirectly encouraging him to go sleep with another girl immediately after all of this happened, but I really didn't give a shit what he did after he left as long as he didn't destroy property), the awful perfume he gave me that smelled like my grandmother, and the small gift of the Constitution on stained parchment I bought him when it reminded me of him and his government studies while I was looking through Cracker Barrell's country store. I resisted the urge to write "CHEATING WHORE" on the paper bag — if he saw it before I gave it to him, he would have too much time to prep himself and start the excuses. I know better. He lost any chance of a respectful conversation when he decided to cheat on me over five times. But I wasn't going to be the lady that screams and shouts at him. I wasn't going to name call, I wasn't going to cry or otherwise express with sadness how much he actually hurt me. I wasn't going to punch him or run over him with my car… no matter how much I wanted to. No, I know if I did any of that, he could brush that off and recover from that easily because then he could position me in his head as the crazy one. The way I wanted to break up with him would be much more memorable, and it would cut off any chances he has at recovering quickly. If he clearly knew this was wrong and it would hurt me to see this, as evidenced in his messages to his friend. I was going to react in a way that would stand out as the woman that took him down perfectly and that he was stupid to ever cheat on, because no woman would ever react as calm and collected the way that I did after he smashed my heart into the floor repeatedly.
I put on my high heels so he could get a better look at my ass — since I know he loved looking at it so much — one last time before I leave his lying, cheating ass.
5:10. He's not here yet and probably won't be for a while. I looked at the phone again. He had one good friend I was really looking forward to seeing. I checked the messages he had with him. They all seemed innocent and happy, only talking about me and how happy I make him. My heart agonized over this a little. Clearly he wanted him to think he has been a better man. But even if this was true, he still hurt me. I'll have to tell him later on Facebook what really happened because I doubt he'll tell the truth. His friend would later respond in a caring, loving way towards me because he knows that it hurts and no one deserves that pain, but he'd still defend my boyfriend. I looked at his phone and saw the messages he sent to other girls. He even called some of these girls "Fraulien," the same name he gave me when he met me. He told me it was German for young woman. I found out later from my German-fluent friend that it was a condescending term equivalent to "naive little girl."
That's when it hit me. These girls have no idea what's going on. I had not a spec of anger towards any of them. If anything, I was worried. He's clearly a predator, and these girls are his prey. These girls think he's an innocent, outspoken, charming man. I never got his test results, and I didn't even know if he was clean still… and neither did these women. They simply thought he was a single guy that didn't get to explore Boston much yet since he moved here and he had a "friend" that got him familiar with areas north of Cambridge. Ugh.
I got my notebook out and started writing all of their names and numbers from his phone that I could identify as even remotely possible that he slept with them or interacted with him on a romantic level. I'd text them in a group the next day to tell them that I was his monogamous ex-girlfriend that found out he was seeing all of them while dating me, and that for medical purposes they should get tested as soon as possible if they ever were with him just to be sure. Their responses were loving and so apologetic that I have to go through this. One girl never met him but was going to, and I saved her from a lot of pain and remorse by telling her and helping her decide to not see him. She said "Loyal and kind men do exist, you just have to keep searching. Good luck! :)" and that made me feel a small amount of hope for not just me, but other women as well.
5:28pm, he rang my doorbell. Showtime. But I was hoping to get a little bit more prepared for the situation, so I ran with it. I slipped his phone in my back pocket behind my phone so he couldn't see that I had already found it. As far as he knew, it was still in my car and dead as a door nail. I took my notebook with the girls' names and numbers in one hand and the bag of his stuff in the other hand and, after checking the mirror to make sure everything fell into place, descended the stairs to my back porch. He was waiting at my front porch, but I wouldn't let him get a chance to get in my house, or I know he'd rain down hell on me before leaving.
I pretended not to see him as I opened my car door and put the bag and the notebook in it. I made sure to lock it quickly so he couldn't lunge for my car.
I turned around and saw him. "Oh, hey!" I said, flashing a smile, trying to not let a flicker of a clue cross my hazel eyes that he always loved staring deep into and complimenting. He had mentioned that he was bringing a surprise for me, but that got pushed out of my mind when I found out he cheated on me enough times to have a fucking freshman frat boy orgy with all the people he cheated with. The packaging looked like it was Thai food? Probably not since he mentioned at one point Thai food makes him sick, but I never got to look to find out what kind of food it was. My one regret in this entire master plan was not taking the food from him before I set everything into motion.
I reach towards my car and tell him that I meant to clean it out a little bit before he arrived since we'll be riding in it tomorrow after work to New York City, but I really should pull it out into the street so I can access everything better. "Okay," he said tightly, "But can you please just let me check your car really quick for my phone? I really need my phone."
If for some reason I had any benefit of the doubt for him up to this point that he clearly did not deserve, it was eradicated in reading his facial expressions as he said this. The tightened jaw, the panic in his narrowing of his eyes, and his slight hand tremor as he stood on the grey stairs to my front porch, restraining himself from lunging at my car to claw for his phone… the only thing that would have made this all better for me would be if it was raining, knowing what I was about to do next. I got one good last look at him in his cheap suit for his receptionist job at a television station, his oversized dress shoes that were probably borrowed from his older brother, whom he all but worshipped, that gorgeous jawline of his that gave his face a chiseled-to-perfection finish with his clear complexion, and those rich milk chocolate eyes that swallowed up women's trust like a shark swallows fish. Today those eyes I fell in love with were clouded with fear.
He was attractive and he knew it. If only he knew that being honest would have set him free, made him more attractive, and given him even more happiness than he was experiencing now.
He did not have a single, minute clue.
"Let me pull my car out into the street first. I can get at the passenger's side a little bit better if I do that." I sweetly called to him. He took a breath in, appeared to hold in, and slumped slightly onto the gray stairs before he saw me pull out further down the street than he probably figured I would. Then he propped himself up a little bit until he saw me stop. I put my car in park, my blinkers on and reached for his bag of stuff I put in the passenger seat, trying to look like I'm looking for his phone. He did not rush any faster, just kept at his sauntering pace. I think at this point he had an idea of what was going on, but I gave zero fucks if he did. His house of cards was already crumbling into a foundationless mess. I grabbed his phone out of my pocket, making sure it was on the messages with his friend that got him red handed in the first place. I placed in on top in the bag and rolled down my driver's side window.
"Hey! I found your phone!" I said, continuing to be as sweet as can be. I figured if I kept this same, even and loving tone, it would hurt him more knowing that I was killing him with kindness.
His pace quickened just slightly. "Yeah? Where is it?" he said, his head perked up just slightly. I wasn't sure if he was nervous or relieved, but I didn't really care either way. The next few actions happened very quickly.
"It's on top of this bag here," I called to him, still as sugar-coated loving as ever, although I was starting to sicken myself for maintaining this demeanor with this filthy fraud. I pulled the bag out of the driver's side window so as to hang it slightly out of the window. He came up and took the bag. He said nothing but reached for the phone.
Before he could even look at what was on the phone, I put my car in drive and turned my wheels towards the street away from him. I smiled cutely again to him, sugar coated toxic oozing from my next actions. He looked up briefly just before I smiled and said my kind, piercing departing words and drove away fast enough for him to not be able to catch me as I drove to a bar with two of my girlfriends that were waiting for me to drink my weight in wine while they supervised:

Medieval portrait of Virgin Mary and Christ's double-sided secret
A 14th Century portrait that hung in a Cambridge museum for decades has been revealed as double-sided after a 600-hour restoration project.
The Virgin Mary and Christ Child by Italian Renaissance artist Pietro di Niccolo da Orvieto, had been on display at the Fitzwilliam Museum.
Conservators preparing it for an exhibition found another painting on the reverse panel.
Experts believe it depicts the wound Jesus Christ sustained on the cross.
The painting had always been hung unscrutinised with the Virgin Mary on show until preparation began for the Madonnas and Miracles exhibition, which depicts the world of religious devotion in the Italian Renaissance home.
The piece, which had been affected by centuries of discolouration and grime, was brought back its former glory by seven conservators from the museum's Hamilton Kerr Institute.
It is now thought the depiction of the Virgin Mary and Christ Child was originally made as a double-sided devotional object, for private prayer and contemplation for worshippers.
As well as the "vivid depiction" of the wound, infrared reflectography showed detail of the folds in the Virgin Mary's veil - known as a maphorion - after being invisible to the naked eye for centuries.
This was then restored from a flat black overpaint to its original bright blue hue - which symbolises the heavens.
According to the museum, the painting is "testament to the religious devotion of the Italian Renaissance".
The painting now sits in a glass display where both sides can be seen.

The Gallery at Westbury Plaza is Equity One's first ground up retail project in the New York metropolitan area. Equity One's approach was to develop an "upscale" retail strip center with covered pedestrian spaces. WDLA was asked to design a retail landscape that included stone and concrete sidewalks with designated "living rooms" for outdoor seating, planters and planting, recommended site lighting and perimeter and parking area lighting. As part of our services WDLA worked closely with E.W. Howell, the contractor, the retailers, and the owner's representative on an array of pavement approaches to retain the quality of the initial design yet bring the hardscape in on budget
Status: Completed 2012.

Kinetic Landscape
Kinetic Landscape is an attempt to create a sculptural object which value lies within the discovery of its functional nature.
The sliced sculptural forms invite exploration and an opportunity for the audience to install their own narrative, seeing perhaps the sliced landscape, skeletal or eroded forms. This exploration leads to the discovery of the functional qualities of the piece.
The journey of intrigue, narrative and discovery are what I believe to be valuable in craft and design, as I believe they lead to a valuable connection between viewer and object.

Lindsay Scheinberg for E! Online
by Jenna Mullins | Mon., May. 25, 2015 8:00 AM
Lindsay Scheinberg for E! Online
Happy Wine Day, everyone! It's the most important holiday of the year! Yep, even more important than Christmas, because this is Winemas. It's a day to honor that special person who decided that squishing grapes would get us all drunk. That's how wine works, right?
Anyway, the team at E! Online is dedicated to keeping you guys up to date on all your wine needs, so we did a big taste test of 15 celebrity wines. In doing so we discovered a couple of things. Like, Dave Matthews can make a kickass wine! We also found out that Dave Matthews makes wine. Who knew? Learning things is fun.
Lindsay Scheinberg for E! Online
So if you want completely honest, no-holding-back opinions on the wines from Nicki Minaj, Drew Barrymore, Lisa Vanderpump and many more stars trying their hands at the wine business, check out our reviews below. And just know that as wine experts, some of us know our stuff but most of us are basically Leslie Knope:
(Disclaimer: We did not taste test these wines in ideal conditions or in any manner specific to individual varieties. So, this was definitely not a professional, fancy wine tasting. Read these reviews with that in mind).
1. Gia Coppola's Pinot Noir
Lindsay Scheinberg for E! Online
"Very light and super drinkable. Its the kind of wine that you just keep sipping until oopsy...you drank the whole bottle."
"Light, pomegranate."
"I don't know why, but I feel super fancy drinking this. I would serve this at a party and feel fancy in doing so."
"Tasted way too sour to me."
"Does-the-job kind of wine. Have only an hour to pregame that Tinder date? Gia Pinot Noir it is!"
"God awful. To steal a line from this John Oliver sketch: "taste like the scared urine of a rabbit.'"
"Also an easy-drinking red, but maybe a little too fruity for me."
"This is how I imagine the old brown water the kids get in The Goonies would taste."
2. Gia Coppola's Pinot Grigio
Lindsay Scheinberg for E! Online
"It's a lay-by-the-pool-and-drink-too-much type of wine."
"This one was light and subtle, very unoffensive. Also crisp. I can see this one being appealing to people who don't really like wine."
"I was very into this. Perfect for say, a Memorial Day weekend BBQ. Just give me a straw."
"Better that the Gia Pinot but still not great. I think this has liquid smoke in it."
"My fave of the list. I could drink this all day."
"Fruity, slight crispness."
"Sharper than I would prefer for a Pinot Grigio."
3. Nicki Minaj's Myx Moscato
Lindsay Scheinberg for E! Online
"These tastes like Sprite, I could easily drink five."
"If I was still in college, I would be all over this, every weekend. This would be my jam. Like, I'd play beer pong with these."
"Nicki Minaj won't stop rapping about this so I was excited to try it but it's way too sweet! I did not like it. Tasted like expired champagne mixed with Jolly Ranchers and Capri Sun."
"Makes me want to twerk, essentially tastes like flat Sprite."
"Capri Sun or wine?"
4. Drew Barrymore's Pinot Grigio
Lindsay Scheinberg for E! Online
"Meh. It tastes expensive, though, if that's something you can actually taste."
"Pungent aftertaste and not in a good way."
"This one was good, I would buy it."
"Quite tasty but I think she's confused about what a Pinot Grigio should taste like. It's more like a Chardonnay."
"This was one of my favorites. So clean and crisp, great flavor. Tasted very expensive. Made me think of summer picnics in a field of sunflowers with Cameron Diaz (Drew Barrymore would do that, right?)."
"Amazing crisp wine, doesn't taste cheap."
"The way Pinot Grigio should taste—subtle but crisp. I would actually buy this and make her more rich."
"This one was actually good. Light and perfect for summer. I'd buy this if Trader Joe's offered it."
"I liked it because I like Drew and not liking it made me feel bad because she's a nice person."
"A close second fave. Clean and bright—just like Drew?"
"By far the best of the bunch. I'd buy a bottle of this."
5. Lisa Vanderpump's LVP Pink Sangria
Lindsay Scheinberg for E! Online
"Tastes like cough syrup."
"This is too sweet and fruity! This is for children! I think I have fetal alcohol syndrome now."
"Pink, floral and in your face, just like Lisa Vanderpump!"
"Yuck, it's like super sweet, sugary glitter."
"Like a liquified version of a bouquet of flowers…but in a good way."
"Grapefruit cough syrup?"
"Tastes the way Anthropologie smells. Am I ingesting chemicals?"
"Not a fan."
6. Lisa Vanderpump's LVP Red Sangria
Lindsay Scheinberg for E! Online
"Oof, this was rough. Sorry, Lisa. You're too fabulous to make wine like this. What happened?"
"LVP Sangria was like a sorority in a bottle. Love the monogram, and the taste was sweet for summer."
"Tastes like the way Giggy probably smells (gratingly rosy, that is)."
"This would make a great candle."
"Not good, not good at all. I'm pretty sure this is just grape juice poured in a fancy princess bottle."
Apparently Lisa Vanderpump wants us to know that her sangria is not comparable to "everyday wine." Noted:
.@eonline you can't compare @LVPsangria to everyday wine! It's a delicious sangria that even @HuffingtonPost called "Completely Addictive— Lisa Vanderpump (@LisaVanderpump) May 26, 2015
7. Dave Matthews' Dreaming Tree Red
Lindsay Scheinberg for E! Online
"Pretty decent full-bodied red."
"Delicious! Surprisingly delicious. Who knew?"
"I didn't want to like this but I do. I really do. Damn it, Dave Matthews."
"Tastes like red wine, which is a good start."
"A nice red. Would be great to drink relaxing around a campfire."
"This one was my favorite of all the wines I tasted. I would definitely drink this IRL. In fact, I might actually go out and buy it…like, tonight."
"I loved this red and I don't really like red wines. I imagine this going great with lots of meals."
"Full bodied, relaxed vibe, laying on the grass on Haight Street."
"Surprisingly (very surprisingly) yummy. Taste like a real wine."
8. Bethenny Frankel's Skinnygirl California White
Lindsay Scheinberg for E! Online
"Surprisingly dry and mild…and good!"
"Didn't love it, but didn't hate it either. I'm neutral."
"Light and refreshing."
"Eh, like what a good Chardonnay would taste like if you took the flavor away. It's fine."
"I don't like Skinny Girl products and this wine confirmed that. This wine tastes like stale water. Actually, I don't really know what flavor Bethenny was going for when she concocted this mess of a wine."
"Unremarkable but I could go through the bottle easily—and then punch myself in the face afterwards."
"No. This tastes like old guacamole."
9. Bethenny Frankel's Skinnygirl California Rosé
Lindsay Scheinberg for E! Online
"If I could draw the shrug emoticon here, I would. But it's what I expected from Skinny Girl."
"OOF. It tastes like church wine."
"Nail polish remover-esque."
"I'm pretty sure every person I saw try this dumped their cup out immediately afterwards. The response was spot-on because this Rose has notes of kitchen cleaner and Clorox."
"I imagine Sally Hansen wine would taste like this"
10. Brandi Glanville's Unfiltered Blonde Chardonnay
Lindsay Scheinberg for E! Online
"Too harsh for a Chardonnay, strange aftertaste."
"The second this hit my taste buds my brain wanted it out of my mouth, so that should tell you enough."
"I really loved this one, it was very oaky and tasted expensive. It's very Chardonnay-y so I can see people who don't like strong Chards disliking this one (also Team Brandi forever, sorry Kyle!)."
"Acidic, slightly venomous and leaves a bad aftertaste. So exquisitely Brandi."
"Very oaky. Not for me, but I'm not a chardonnay fan. I could see Vicki Gunvalson and Tamra Barney loving this, though."
"All I wrote down was 'NOOOOOOOOOOO.'"
11. Train's Drops of Jupiter California Red
Lindsay Scheinberg for E! Online
"Points off because they are a crappy band…but they make a decent wine."
"I might have been too shocked to learn that Train made wine to really taste it because I actually liked this one."
"It had a bite to it, strong tannins."
"Tastes like the best soy latte that you've ever had."
"Subtle, good—I would pour another glass."
"This one has a bit of a kick to it but in a good way. I'd call it tangy."
"A very smooth, mild easy-drinking red."
"Good, a little too harsh though."
12. Train's Calling all Angels Chardonnay
Lindsay Scheinberg for E! Online
"Buttery, but a little bland for a Chardonnay."
"I wouldn't kick it out of the wine cellar."
"It just tasted overpoweringly sweet but smooth, like that non-alcoholic sparkling apple cider you drink when you're a kid."
"Bland and stomach turning all at once."
"OK. Inoffensive but so boring. Tastes like church wine."
13. Christina Milian's Viva Diva Moscato (Mango, Strawberry and Pineapple Coconut)
Lindsay Scheinberg for E! Online
"I can feel myself getting cavities from the sugar."
"Great mango taste, very light and sweet makes me want to turn up!"
"White-bichon-frise-wearing-a-pink-rhinestone-collar-on-rodeo-drive kind of wine."
"I'm obsessed with incredibly sweet mine so I'll take nine of each, thanks!"
"Effervescent and not too sweet—thought it was raspberry so the fruit flavoring is very close to being on point."
"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too sweet."
"Delish. 100 calories a glass and 6% alcohol, perfect for breakfast on a summers day."
"The mango one tastes like grapefruit juice."
"I'm ashamed to admit that I actually like this. I may be a little drunk."
"Takes me back to the days of stealing your parents wine coolers pretending that they don't taste awful with friends in high school."
"Viva Diva in all flavors was amazing, especially Strawberry. For a sparkling Moscato it wasn't too sweet, and went down nice and smooth.
14. Patti Stanger's PS: Match Chardonnay
Lindsay Scheinberg for E! Online
"Hoity-toity moms in Orange County."
"Could have gone my whole life without drinking one single sip of that."
"Fine, but pretty forgettable."
"This is so watery. Pass."
"I would drink it if it was at an open bar, but I'd probably never order it."
15. Patti Stanger's PS: Match Sweet Red Rosso
Lindsay Scheinberg for E! Online
"Also terrible. Patti's vineyard needs to be torched."
"Better than her white, but that's not saying much because to me, lukewarm well water is better than her white. Seriously, I hated that Chardonnay."
"From the bottle it looks like its going to be super super dark but it's actually sweet and light!"
"Sparkly green apples, light."
"We were all side eye-ing the name but actually this seems like something you order on a date, or even bring for a girls night in. It's sweet with a little bit of fizz, almost like a cocktail."
"Not bad for an ambiguous, generic red wine."
"Bottle is a bit misleading, over all one of my favorites. Super delicious sparkling red."
It was a tough job to taste test all these wines in the middle of a work day, but somebody had to do it.
