Chesca began to sew because her dolls needed clothes. She had no previous experience as a seamstress, but she had become enamored of BJD and Blythe dolls, so she bought a sewing machine and got to work. Her earliest works for sale were items she posted on Yahoo Japan. In 2002, she began to design outfits to fit the PetWORKs Momoko doll.
Chesca's creative fashions caught the eye of BJD companies. Soon she was designing unique outfits for Dream of Doll, Custom House, and others. Some items were one-of-a-kind, while others were for limited edition dolls. By 2004, she and a few of her friends started AnotherSpace, a handmade doll clothing store. Soon the company was known internationally in the doll world for it's unique and stylish fashions.
By 2006, Chesca created a line of limited edition clothing for the magazine Haute Doll. In the accompanying interview, she described her clothing as "a little gothic. a little gloomy, but luxurious." When asked if she ever ran out of ideas, Chesca replied "In the closet of my mind, there are quite a few suits of clothes and they are waiting their turns."
AnotherSapce eventually morphed into AnotherSpace2. The new version of the company creates clothing produced in larger quantities. Seven members make up the company. Chesca works as both a designer and as the manager of the English website.
Though kept very busy with her design work, Chesca decided to open her own doll company, Slinky Neko, in December of 2008. The name was chosen by Chesca to suggest a "cute and sexy alley cat." According to Chesca, "Slinky Neko is toddling grade of BJD's world now, and slow going on the work for I work everything alone." The company has four 25 cm dolls available, boy and girl versions of Haroo and Borry. The dolls were designed by a friend of Chesca's who wished to remain anonymous.
Recently released special works by Chesca on AnotherSpace2 includes a new outfit made exclusively for the IpleHouse EID boy dolls. Chesca also designed a special outfit in honor of the Den of Angels 5th Anniversary for SD/SD13 girls. She continues to create items for other doll companies as well. Slinky Neko will soon have an update of new outfits in Yo-SD size that will fit the tiny dolls sold there. In September, Chesca hopes to release a new Slinky Neko doll, her first SD size addition. The new doll, a boy, is designed by doll artist 'Baron' (who has designed for Dreaming Doll and MSdoll). The boy will likely be released as a limited edition.
When asked how she has time to accomplish so many things, Chesca replied "Humm…I love my work for doll very much. I wish to work more than now. I think ….if anyone so love one's work everyone become superman…(laugh~)." She concludes "I love my works for doll. I'm happy to see dolls with a marked individuality by myself. I wish I will do this work going on after and after…."

Step back into your past and allow yourself to think about all the experiences that influenced your present self. Your mind will automatically bring up images and thoughts as soon as you dive into this new, fascinating and emotionally complicated territory. Delving into this space and exploring the intricacies of your emotional body can be one of the most difficult things you will ever do—but also extremely worthwhile.
Bring up the pictures—your memories—into your mind's eye so you can explore them. These need not necessarily be childhood memories. If you're sixty years old and something traumatizing happened to you at fifty-five, it's certainly worth it to go back and shine new light into the emotional dust that you've ignored for five years.
Those who have hurt you. Past failures. Terrible mistakes. All the myriad of ways that the human experience can scar and influence you—the decision to go back and access the remnants of the past is one that you make on your own. Nobody else can make it for you.
The Buddha once said that it is in the nature of things that joy arises in a person free from remorse. Freeing yourself from the influence of your past errors releases you from remorse in the present. But how can this be achieved?
Perspectives and Books
Different books written from different authors' perspectives provide very interesting ways to achieve this goal of embracing and releasing the past.
In Everett Worthington's book, Moving Forward: Six Steps to Forgiving Yourself and Breaking Free from the Past, he outlines six steps that can be used to analyze your past and assess what it is that you need to let go. These six R's are, in order:
Receive God's Forgiveness
Repair Relationships
Rethink Ruminations
Reach Emotional Self-Forgiveness
Rebuild Self-Acceptance
Resolve to Live Virtuously
This is a fascinating book because Worthington is a licensed clinical psychologist who writes the book specifically to help religious and spiritual people, so there are a lot of mentions of God in the book. It follows a pattern of forgiveness and acceptance.
Harold H. Bloomfield's Making Peace With Your Past: The Six Essential Steps to Enjoying a Great Future (yes, six steps again) follows a similar path: heal your painful past, transcend the struggles of the past, break free from shame, end the horror of guilt and regret, dump grief and bitterness on the wayside, and bring love back into your life.
I've read several books on the subject and, with minor variations in approach, the process is more or less the same—and forgiveness is always one of the first and most important steps.
Release Yourself From the Prison of the Past
This is a new day. This is a new life. Allow yourself to evolve and break free from those emotional chains that you drag around with you. No matter which book you read or which seminar you attend, the path is more or less the same: first, you allow yourself to receive forgiveness (whether this forgiveness comes from God or from yourself is up to you; use what works for you).
Allow yourself to drop everything that doesn't serve you and as you do so, become kinder with yourself and practice self-acceptance. Release any addictive, obsessive or unhealthy relationships from your life. Healing the wounds of the past takes some time, but it's worth it in the end.
When you're a child, you're like wet cement. If you're abused when you're just a tiny toddler, the memories stick to you like glue and feed you lies for the rest of your life unless you take the steps to heal yourself. As a child, you interpret lies as truth—they become internalized in your mind.
Forgiving others is the key to freeing yourself. Forgiveness is the key that unlocks the door of bitterness and the shackles of hatred. It's a step-by-step journey, where each day you forgive yourself just a little bit more.
I'd like to finish with a passage from J. Denny Weaver's book, The Nonviolent God, which I think sums up the process of forgiveness perfectly:
In the practice of forgiveness as understood in psychology, the emphasis falls on the process of letting go of anger or hatred and on the benefit of this process for the one who forgives. The process of letting go, of forgiving, requires a decision to forgive, but it is an ongoing event, an attitude more than a one-time event. It may in fact continue for a lifetime.

NFL players may be fined for wearing unauthorized 9/11 tribute gear
Update: A league spokesman says the NFL will allow players to wear specially licensed 9/11 tribute gear for games on Sunday.
If you remember that the NFL threatened to fine Peyton Manning for wearing high-top cleats to honor the late Johnny Unitas after Unitas passed away on Sept. 11, 2002, you know that the league takes its uniform rules very, very seriously. Manning was threatened with a $25,000 fine if he wore the cleats in a game because he had formally been denied permission to do so by the NFL. In the end, Manning took a pass, though Baltimore Ravens quarterback Chris Redman flew in the face of authority and got popped with a $5,000 fine for his trouble.
Related: 9/11 remembered 10 years later
It was a callous move by the NFL, but if what we're hearing about what players want to wear to honor the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks is true, you haven't seen anything yet. According to the tweets of Chicago Bears linebacker Lance Briggs, the penalties for players wearing specific 9/11 tribute gear could be fairly steep.
Reebok great job on these gloves and shoes..looks like I'm getting fined this week. Lol! By far the best fine I will ever have to pay. Thanks…Fines for gloves could be as much as 5k..the shoes 8-10k I think. not 100% on the shoe fine.
And here's Briggs' swag:
Kansas City Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles added his own thoughts:
I Have some commemorative 9/11 gloves & cleats for the weekend game.. That #reebok made me. I never forget.
But wait -- there's more! Christy Cooley, the wife of Washington Redskins tight end Chris Cooley, tweeted up the gear her husband got, which you can see just to the left.
The picture of the shoes at the top of this piece came from the Twitter account of Tennessee Titans quarterback Matt Hasselbeck. It's also worth noting that this is the last year of Reebok's 10-year contract with the NFL as the league's official outfitter; Nike will have that honor starting in 2012.
To add to the intrigue, we hear from Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune that several Chargers players received the gear, and at least one player is ready to write a check for wearing it. The unnamed player said that he expected to be fined $5,000
Players expressed confusion over why the NFL would deny them the chance to commemorate the 10th anniversary of 9/11 by wearing different cleats when the league provides pink apparel (including shoes) to be worn by teams to promote breast cancer awareness each October.
According to Acee, the current plan is for sideline personnel to wear commemorative pins, and for players to wear a red, white, and blue patch below their jersey collars in a shape of a ribbon. League spokesman Greg Aiello told Acee that there are no plans to allow players to make unauthorized changes to their uniforms in tribute this Sunday, but if the Manning story we told you a bit earlier is any indication, we wouldn't bet on the NFL bending at all on this point.
The NFL is planning to honor the fallen with several different gameday events, and the NFL and NFLPA will donate $1 million to related charities and memorials. That's all very wonderful, but if the league is actually going to fine its own players for choosing to remember in their own way … isn't this the most glaring case for an exception to the uniform rule? None of the players choosing to wear this gear and take the automatic fine are looking to draw attention to themselves — this isn't a Hall of Fame jacket on the sideline or a Sharpie in the end zone.
These are players choosing to remember, and in the cases of Briggs, Hasselbeck, and many other NFL veterans, remember their own time in the NFL during and right after the attacks happened.
We haven't heard from the NFL either way on this, but the league would be very wise to step away from this issue, let the players wear the specific gear (the league can always pop those players looking to add to the authorized apparel with their own pieces of flair), and move on to something that won't be a PR nightmare.
It's a simple and honorable gesture. Not a fineable offense.

I've seen this recipe floating around the internets and finally had a chance to make it today.
It's quite lovely. Perfect on a fall rainy day.
Yellow is the color of the spleen/stomach system in Chinese Medicine and yellow foods help to nourish this system. The spleen is active in times of transition and is responsible for transformation and transportation of the food we eat into useable energy.
This is a great alternative for an afternoon pick me up in place of coffee.
Like Nourished Kitchen says, it's easy to find ginger. I found turmeric at Meijer, right next to the ginger 🙂
This is the recipe I used. Let me know what you think! Stay dry and warm today

Today's Reading: 2 Kings 21, 2 Chronicles 33, Nahum
Through the life of Hezekiah's son, Manasseh, we see again that God loves a repentant heart. But to fully understand just how merciful God, you need to fully understand just how ugly sin can be. Manasseh was 12 years old when he became king and he reigned in Jerusalem for 55 years. He rebuilt the pagan shrines his father had destroyed, and even went so far as to build pagan altars IN the temple of the Lord. He was SO steeped in idolatry that he sacrificed his own sons in the fire. He practiced sorcery, divination, and witchcraft, consulting with mediums and psychics. Scripture says he aroused God's anger.
Manasseh also murdered many innocent people until Jerusalem was filled from one end to the other with innocent blood. This was in addition to the sin that he caused the people of Judah to commit, leading them to do evil in the Lord's sight. – 2 Kings 21:16
The Lord spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they ignored all his warnings. So the Lord sent the commanders of the Assyrian armies, and they took Manasseh prisoner. They put a ring through his nose, bound him in bronze chains, and led him away to Babylon. But while in deep distress, Manasseh sought the Lord his God and SINCERELY humbled himself before the God of his ancestors. And when he prayed, the Lord listened to him and was moved by his request. So the Lord brought Manasseh back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then Manasseh finally realized that the Lord alone is God! – 2 Chronicles 33:10-13
Manasseh, one of the most evil kings Judah experienced, cried out to God for forgiveness…and God listened. That's the kind of God we serve – a God who is holy and punishes sin, but who is also merciful and forgiving for those who SINCERELY repent.
The prophet Nahum helps us understand our God, how He is a loving God but also a just God. God is patient and forgiving but also a holy God who punishes sin. How does our knowledge of a loving God fit with Nahum's prophecies?
The Lord is a jealous God, filled with vengeance and rage. He takes revenge on all who oppose him and continues to rage against his enemies! The Lord is slow to get angry, BUT his power is great, and he never lets the guilty go unpunished…The Lord is good, a strong refuge when trouble comes. He is close to those who trust in him. BUT he will sweep away his enemies in an overwhelming flood. He will pursue his foes into the darkness of night. – Nahum 1:3a,7-8
God is once again sending a message of judgment through one of his prophets, this time the judgment is against Israel & Judah's enemy – the city of Ninevah, which is part of the country of Assyria. The empire of Assyria has grown strong and left a path of destruction across the land. Israel is one of many countries that has been defeated and captured by Assyria and now this victor is pressing in on Judah. Nahum's prophecy against Judah's enemy is coming at a good time – a time when they need to hear that God is powerful and will punish his enemies. The people of Ninevah had repented of their sins after Jonah came to them but they have again turned to wickedness. The prophet Nahum declared God's judgment on the city – the city that was rich and appeared to the world as beautiful, but was full of evil. A city of murder and lies!
What sorrow awaits Nineveh, the city of murder and lies!
She is crammed with wealth and is never without victims.
Hear the crack of whips, the rumble of wheels!
Horses' hooves pound, and charioteers charge past!
There are countless casualties, heaps of bodies – so many bodies that people stumble over them.
All this because Nineveh, the beautiful and faithless city, mistress of deadly charms, enticed the nations with her beauty.
She taught them all her magic, enchanting people everywhere.
"I am your enemy!" says the Lord of Heaven's Armies.
"And now I will lift your skirts and show all the earth your nakedness and shame.
I will cover you with filth and show the world how vile you really are.
All who see you will shrink back and say, 'Nineveh lies in ruins. Where are the mourners?'
Does anyone regret your destruction?" – Nahum 3:1-7
Scriptures like this convince me that God will someday put an end to the many industries leaving a path of destruction behind them, like pornography and abortion. They glamourize themselves and collect their riches, but God sees that they are surrounded by those they have destroyed – He hears the cries of the babies who never had the chance to be born. He hears the cries of the men and women who have been deceived and lied to. He sees the wounds of those who have been abused and mistreated.
The abortion industry has convinced society to consider abortion socially acceptable, a good option for women. The government pours money into their pockets. Good organizations like Susan G. Komen have been caught in their web of deceit and cannot get out unharmed. Every year, well-meaning individuals raise money for the cause of breast cancer research, only to have their money go to an industry that profits from the death of 1.3 million babies a year in the US.
The stench of death surrounds us and the world continues to shout their praises. BUT GOD…
God will sweep over his enemies in an overwhelming flood. He will pursue his foes into the darkness of night (1:8).
The Lord is a jealous God, filled with vengeance and rage.
He takes revenge on all who oppose him and continues to rage against his enemies!
The Lord is slow to get angry, but his power is great, and he never lets the guilty go unpunished…
In his presence the mountains quake, and the hills melt away;
The earth trembles, and its people are destroyed.
Who can stand before his fierce anger?
Who can survive his burning fury?
His rage blazes forth like fire, and the mountains crumble to dust in his presence. – Nahum 1:1-3a,5-6
Lord, we thank you for being a God of power – a God aware of the hurts, pains and injustices of this world. Lord, forgive us as a nation who allows and promotes the death of those who cannot defend themselves. Strengthen us and equip us to protect with the power of your love and to speak your truth to this lost and dying world. Expose evil empires that veil themselves as if to appear beautiful. May those who work in these industries see that you are the only true God and sincerely repent, finding forgiveness in our merciful God. Lord, break our hearts over what breaks yours and calm our troubled hearts. Oh God, we trust in you for you are the God of love and the God of justice. Amen.

Patriots, you must act now while you still have the ability to resist. Apathy will lead to tyranny in our lifetime. You must make the facts known, you must make your numbers known, you must make your determination known, and you must check the opposition at every corner. Call out those that mock you and seek to enslave you. Do not by shy. Be fanatical in your perseverance to protect your few remaining rights and freedoms and then to win those lost back. Do not rest at simply protecting the shreds that are left, but push till you have fully regained your rightful freedoms and deposed those that threaten them. When fighting those willing to enslave you, it is proper, justifiable, and responsible to radically oppose their actions. Organize, protest, and march on your state houses and Washington. Out the traitors attempting to take your rights and enslave you!
On the electoral front, for starters, you must vote out anyone that supports gun control. Further, you must abandon both the Republican and the Democrat parties that have long since abandoned their constituents for special interests and lobbyist dollars. Neither party serves your interests but simply uses you for their gain. Don't allow the parties to divide and distract you on ridiculous issues while they pass laws to indefinitely detain you during midnight sessions of Congress over Christmas when they think no one is paying attention. Remember, at nearly every instance of the erosion of your freedom and liberty, it was by a bipartisanconsensus. You must hold all of our elected officials accountable at the voting box and destroy the current party establishment by voting for neither and insisting on running and voting for independent candidates.
Not voting is as ruinous as it is stupid. It is true that many are disillusioned when it comes to elections, but you actually have significant power to change the course of elections by taking some simple, but effective actions. These grassroots tactics are real, effective electoral strategies used successfully by the parties themselves, but are closely kept from the public's eyes. To change the electoral game on the parties, begin by collecting the names and contact information of all likeminded people in your voting district. This is one of the most basic and important aspects of grassroots mobilization. There are many ways to do this including asking for lists already generated by gun rights groups. However, if you must start from scratch, begin with your friends and family. Then have them each reach out to those in their networks and those people reach out to those people in their networks. Ask that every person just reach out to at least one other person to do the same. Have them all send their contact information to one consolidated email address where the master list can be developed. Use this list to rally and motivate your local base to go out and canvas for even more supporters. An effectively run networking operation like this can quickly net thousands of supporters. At the local level, this mobilization is enough to sway and win an election.
Next, organize throughout your state by district. As the names add up, combine these district lists to form a picture of support across the entire state. Use these lists to write your representatives demanding they vote to protect and expand gun rights. Further, make it very clear to the representative that the constituents you represent will vote in the primaries and pool their money to run a viable opposition candidate. Few people realize that many elections are won and lost in those very early pre-election district and state contests, which next to no one pays any attention to. The fact that so few people turn out for primary elections means that an incumbent representative is very, very vulnerable during this early stage of a campaign. If the electorate is mobilized and turns out for an opposing candidate, just a few dozen or even a couple hundred votes WILL often end the incumbent's campaign. This is especially true if it is done secretly and the turnout is a surprise to an apathetic and over confident incumbent. Even worse for the incumbent is the fact that they will have to spend precious money early on in the campaign when no one cares or is really paying attention, which puts them at an extreme disadvantage to their opponent. This money isn't spent defeating the opposing party's candidate, but rather, just to secure their own party's nomination. This depletes the party's coffers and effectively is a means to force a party to self-destruct through financial starvation. Further, the primaries are also when the candidates often have the least amount of campaign resources and can't afford a big financial fight. Use this knowledge and leverage to gain control over your local representatives. Done effectively, you will not only be able to influence your representatives, but replace them with your candidates.
To win at the state level, you must build on this strategy and grow the network. State level wins are the big key to success because states have the Constitutional authority to counter, block, and ignore federal dictates. Wins at the state level also shape the state party and will be the NECESSARY foundation for changing the federal makeup of elected representatives. Just as important is the fact that winning and influencing local and state elections is feasible and can be done within a relatively short time span. For example, when targeting anti-gun candidates in the primaries across a state in large numbers, a well-organized front can inflict electoral disaster on the targeted party. A real threat of this gains you real access and influence over not only the candidates, but the parties themselves. Further, well organized movements can pool their resources to greater effect. In the districts with well-grounded and supportive representatives, skip targeting them as you already have a viable candidate that is supportive of expanding gun rights. Instead, focus on the candidates and districts that are opposed to gun rights. For example, this may mean that supporters in rural districts of a state like New York or Maryland pool their resources to run a candidate against an anti-gun candidate in an urban area of the state notorious for pushing gun control, which is out of their district. Done effectively and early in the primaries, it is possible to completely remove the candidate and replace that candidate with your own pro-gun candidate. Then the party must make a choice to either support a pro-gun candidate (even if that isn't the party's platform) or risk losing a seat and influence during the actual election. The party will have no choice but to bend to your will. Depending on the situation, sometimes it is best not to try to get your candidate on the ballot, but to get the worst one off. This would be a great strategy to employ against a progressive anti-gun Democratic that has historically has won by large margins. At the worst, you would force the candidate and the anti-gun party to spend precious cash leaving it vulnerable to the opposition party. The fringe benefit is that you are also now in a position to leverage this influence over the weaker party that typically would have forced a pro-gun agenda.
Ladies and gentlemen, apathy at this late stage of the game is not acceptable. History shows that once guns are registered they are taken. Once they are taken you don't get them back. Disarmed against tyranny, the forces of evil will attack using the full force of modern weapons and violence. The result is always the government inflicted deaths of millions of innocent people in the pursuit of absolute power and control; a number of deaths, which is far greater than any crime spree in history or terrorist act could inflict. Ultimately, what one will have won for apathy and the hope that you will be left alone will be slavery for generations.

How to Get Rid of Spots and Acne Using Black Tea
Learn how you can use black tea to get rid of spots, acne, uneven skin, and get it looking bright and healthy again!
1Fill up a cup with the required water, so using 1 part hot water and 2 parts cool water will do the trick! Once a good temperature is achieved, place the teabag(s) into the cup.
2Allow the tea bag(s) to steep for a few minutes, then once the water has become a dark brown - the optimal amount of saturation has been achieved.
3Lie down flat, horizontal, and place old cushions or pillows underneath your head (so if the tea runs off of your face and downwards, it won't ruin anything clean or new).
4Place the tea bag(s) straight onto your face, rubbing them gently around and spread the water evenly. As you do this, the residue will dry quite quickly so you can then apply more, repeating this many times. Good places to ensure you apply it to are your nose, T - zone & any area's prone to spots, bumps, redness and general blotchy/bad/uneven skin.
5After a minute or two of this, place the tea bag(s) back into the cup & allow them to heat up and saturate again. Then take them out & place them on your eyes. Doing this will tighten the skin around the eyes and lighten any dark areas by infusing caffeine into the pores.

He kept giving me soft pecks on the lips and I was trying to make it more passionate but it didn't happen. Why would he be holding back? It was our first time together since we first met 2 weeks ago but we were alone. Is there any reason for the small pecks? I'm use to passionate kisses, even if I have only met the guy a few times (few dates). Thanks for any help

Waiver Wire—
Week 8
Jalen Nixon, QB-Louisiana-Lafayette
Nixon has accounted for four touchdowns in each of his previous two starts and the Cajuns have some nice matchups ahead on the schedule after a Week 9 bye.
Quinton Flowers, QB-South Florida
Flowers has accounted for three touchdowns in three consecutive games and has at least one rushing touchdown in each of those games. The sophomore quarterback has at least 14 carries in five of his last six games and has totaled 199 rushing yards the past two weeks.
Jarrett Stidham, QB-Baylor
Starting quarterback Seth Russell suffered a fractured bone in his neck and Stidham is the next man up. Given the uncertainty around Russell's injury and the fantasy potential running the Baylor offense, Stidham will be the most sought after player on this week's waiver wire.
Jordan Johnson, RB-Buffalo
As long as Anthone Taylor continues to nurse an ankle injury, Johnson will carry the load in the Bulls' offensive backfield. There is also a quick turnaround this week as Buffalo travels to Miami, Ohio for a Thursday night game.
Soso Jamabo, RB-UCLA
Jamabo ran for 79 yards and a touchdown in relief of Paul Perkins, who left Saturday's game against Cal with what is now being described as a bone bruise. Even though Perkins did not sustain ligament damage to his knee, there is no timeline on his return and the Bruins have a Week 9 matchup at home against Colorado.
Malachi Dupre, WR-LSU
Dupre has at least 70 receiving yards and a touchdown in three consecutive games and has been providing the Tigers' offense with big plays when teams load up to stop Heisman candidate RB Leonard Fournette.

Road Trip 2012
Tonight I decided to go through both of my computers and do some spring cleaning, ya know, the every couple month purge of files you once thought you needed to keep! Right around thirty minutes into my hard drives is about when I found all those files I kept but have zero use for. Well this time around I not only purged the files, I also came across old photos I took just over two years ago when my good friend Evan Perigo and I went on a two and half week road trip. I can't begin to write up or describe half of the events which took place, but what I can say is that these pictures, or potentially this never ending winter, have stirred up the travel bug inside of me. I think I've always been someone who can't really every sit still or stay in one place for too long without getting antsy.
Below are some of the shots, and as I continue to go through more of my files Im hoping to find a few others I can add to this post.
Eternal Youth Co
(Ok, I wasn't too heavily involved but those photo shoots took some serious work!) It's been years, thousands of hours, and many sleepless nights in the making. Debuted just a few months ago, the release of his inaugural fall line, he has really captured the essence of the midwest culture and free spirited heartbeat of today's youth.
I'm not only proud and completely blown away by his talent, vision, and the intentionality of his brand, I am extremely excited to see the world grab ahold of these amazing products. It's been inspiring to hear and see people recognize the brand's detail and desire to inspire the youth culture of today. Take a few minutes to read Highlight Magazines interview of Eternal Youth Co's Owner, Director, and Photographer, Evan Perigo, on Page 8.
Drive all night
I had the absolute pleasure and opportunity to work on the latest NEEEDTOBREATHE music video directed by Eric Ryan Anderson. I had an absolute blast working with the band and all the crew in the beautiful city of Oldenburg, Indiana. Below are some shots I took with my trusty ole iPhone and don't forget to watch the video. It turned out amazing!
Foster The People of Nashville
Just a few weeks ago my friend Evan Perigo mentioned he had an extra ticket to the Foster the People show in Nashville, TN. I am not one to turn down the opportunity to go see one of the best new bands out right now, so of course with no hesitation I said I'd go.
Aside from going to the show, we wanted to go visit some friends who we hadn't seen in awhile, so we packed up my Volkswagen and headed down to the music city.
Upon arrival in Nashville we met up with our friend Kyle who was nice enough to let us crash at his house while we were in town. For the next few days we did whatever we could think of, toured the Corsair Artisan Distillery , ate at some amazing restaurants, caught up with some newly made friends, and went to a couple local shows, one which was at a really cool place called The Family Wash.
This road trip wouldn't have been complete had there not been some unexpected problems. The night we went to The Family Wash we had just finished touring the Corsair Artisan Distillery. While there we took the liberty to wonder around the other parts of the building. In the midst of the building being renovated crumbled bricks and paint sprayed walls made for some fun exploration. Nonetheless, as we wondered around looking for trouble Evan whipped out his camera and took a couple random snapshots.
I'm telling you this is because afterwards we went inside and sampled a couple beers but had to leave cause they were closing up shop. We then decided to head over to the venue in East Nashville and catch a few local acts. The only problem is that on the way over I discovered, I left my drivers license at the distillery. This made for a small, ok medium sized, headache and no more beverages for the rest of the evening. Bummed, yet not willing to let this ruin the night we decided to go back the next day and look for it. Determined to find it, we made our way back to the distillery and found my I.D. underneath the table we were sitting at. Relieved and ready to leave Nashville with a bang we re-grouped at Kyles place and ended our time there at a place called The Paterson house. This is my all time favorite place to grab a drink while there and would recommend to make special arrangements to visit next time you're down that way.
The trip home, which always seems longer then the way down, was pretty uneventful. Aside from the removal of clothing as the ole VW doesn't have AC, we made it back safe. Overall a great trip and I'm looking forward to returning soon.
Thanks to Evan, Kyle, Tal, Darren (who was a bit under the weather), and Marisa for the memories.

Dear Ted:
I know that Channing Tatum is married and Amanda Seyfried has a boyfriend, but I can't help but wonder if there's anything at all going on (or went on) between these two. They're always complimenting each other, flirting and touching each other in interviews. Can you give me some scoop please?
Dear Chemistry Cop:
Let's think of it like reverse hookup psychology: When you aren't doing it behind the scenes, it's superfun to innocently flirt around. When you are up to something naughty, you're totally awkward about it in front of the press. Like when Brad and Angie would purposely stand 10 feet away from each other during certain Mr. & Mrs. Smith promos.
Dear Ted:
Would you please explain something to me? How does Mel Gibson still have a career? How is it still possible there are still people who are willing to work with this homophobic, anti-Semitic, misogynistic, humorless ass? For the life of me, I can't figure it out.
Dear Confused:
Good question—but Mel's new movie looks so bad that hopefully it pretty much does the job itself, and that would be cementing himself as a failing actor. Remember tho, this bad boy has enough cash to keep doing his thing even if no one wants to see him do it.
Dear Ted:
Your story on Tony Romo has holes. Big ones. Romo is over Jess...shock! He's been out still playing and you will see more of that now that the season has ended. Back to the same games and I'm sure your source will not admit that, either. I will be the first to apologize if I'm wrong, believe me, but I know I'm not wrong. Carrie called him out for doing her wrong and I'm really waiting to see if Jess says anything on Oprah on Feb. 24. Poor Candice or any college girl that gets sucked in, 'cause that's who he is back to hitting on! What would you say if I contradict and tell you Tony tried to get back with Jess? Your source would deny of course.
Dear Camp Simpson:
Don't get us wrong, as we said, we're not holding our breath for Tony to march down any aisle anytime soon. But we do have a few sources on Jessica, as well, and we feel perfectly fine in saying neither Jess nor Tony are crying themselves to sleep at night pining over the good-old days. It's like J.Simps is the new Jennifer Aniston—the media's pity thing. But I don't think she's anymore upset over the split (now) than he was.
Dear Ted:
Brangelina were making out at the Super Bowl, are suing the News of the World and are basically executing an all-out assault on anyone who even thinks they are over. Uh, why from subtle denials (public and not so public) to this? Oh and what's next in the war strategy?
Dear PR:
After so many years of false tabloid headlines, it is interesting that Brangelina chose now to fight back. Perhaps that ending's sooner than we thought.
Dear Ted:
Please reassure me that Chester Shorts-Off and Secretia Ohio are not Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen! I have been a Gisele fan since she hit the modeling scene in the late '90s, and I can't bear the thought of her being in a sham marriage.
Dear Questions:
Definitely not. Think not quite as beautiful but warm in certain arenas, to be sure.
Dear Ted:
I heard from a friend who works at the Sundance Institute that the reason for the lack of info about Kristen Stewart's next movie was because she had tested for the role of Suzanne in Bel Ami while in the U.K. but had not been successful. Holly Grainger, who was in Bad Mother's Handbook with Rob, got the role. It would have guaranteed her being around Rob, but it didn't work out, and it would have been embarrassing for her if it were known. Is there any truth in this? Coming on top of being nominated as worst screen couple, it would have been a little embarrassing. Is this just a story, or is there any truth in it?
Dear Hearsay:
Well, aren't you the little gossip columnist in training? Kristen is doing just fine. Better than her BF, professionally speaking (range-wise), if you ask me.
Dear Ted:
Was the last B.V. Carrie Bradshaw and Ferris Bueller? Will you write back only if I guessed wrong? And is Scott Disick on the Kardashians that bad, or is it just for the show? Please answer me! I just became unemployed and it would make my day!
—Dying to know
Dear Guesser:
Scott is a total tool, but yes, as in all reality TV, they def stage those "plot lines."
Dear Ted:
Are Secretia Ohio and Chester Shorts-Off Diane Lane and Josh Brolin? I haven't heard much about them lately, but I know they've had their problems in the past. If it's not them, am I close?
Dear Answers:
No, Diane and Josh have their issues, for sure, but Secretia and Chester they are not. Think younger, perkier—more kinda B-list beautiful.
Dear Ted:
More people than Anne thought that piece of Gaga gossip was ludicrous and obviously mean-spirited. Gaga's weight since the video has not changed dramatically, which makes the argument about her supposed feelings on the shoot fall apart. She's in better shape from touring. And her perspective on the video filming is that she loves Swedish men and Alexander Skarsgård is a great kisser. He was on the set one day. This gossip was as insulting to Gaga as to A.S., suggesting she was so insecure from this one day meeting, 10 months later she's still starving herself. Rubbish. And given that Taryn knows from personal experience A.S. is in general a nice guy, including to those folks he doesn't have to be nice to (gossip columnists, say), this was a cheap shot for hits. You should be ashamed.
—Gaga for Gaga
Dear Po Po:
Whoa, doll, no one loves Lady Gaga and A.S. more than I, trust. But this is a gossip column, as you said. If you only heard which people were talking 'bout this gross piece of info (as we stated) you'd be utterly shocked. They know of what they leaked.
Dear Ted:
I think you know the answer to fixing your site as far as the comments are concerned and your people can do it! Make people register and that would include a moniker that would be unique to their email or registered name that cannot be used by anyone else. Please, please! We are all for free speech but the A.T. is not a place that is fun to be on anymore. Yes, some of us faithful do come back, but it is for a different reason than we once came on for. Mainly, we come back to fight the hate and evilness that the crazies are saying about our fave couple and to try and get people to stop using our monikers. Do you really understand how awful the Awful Truth has become! It is worse than awful! We will light your site up like a Christmas Tree if you fix this! I promise we will come back in full force!
Dear Regulators:
I pinky swear our techies are so on it.
Dear Ted:
I'm happy Rob and Kristen are doing their own things. Love isn't love without breathing room and personal growth. How much do you think the Twi stuff affects each of them, and has it been mostly negative or positive?
Dear Repercussions:
At the end of the day, R.Pattz and K.Stew love what they do, which makes fame (and all the crap that goes with it) worth it to them. That's also why they know when it's time to be career-focused and not solely focused on each other. It's smart. They're smart! This is totally why they have their cool relationship down pat.

Mowbray coy on Caldwell
Tony Mowbray is refusing to reveal whether Gary Caldwell will be sold during the January transfer window.
Last Updated: 04/01/10 2:50pm
Celtic boss Tony Mowbray is refusing to reveal whether Gary Caldwell will be sold during the January transfer window.
The defender's contract is due to expire at the end of the season, leaving him free to join another club without a transfer fee.
Middlesbrough have been linked with a move for the 27-year-old, with former Bhoys boss Gordon Strachan now at the helm at the Riverside.
It has been speculated last Sunday's Old Firm clash might have been Caldwell's last for the club, but Mowbray is giving little away.
Mowbray insists the club still control Caldwell's future and that they will have the final say on whether he goes in January.
"I don't know if it was Gary Caldwell's last game in a Celtic jersey," he told the Evening Gazette.
"We are all very aware of his contract situation and if there are any conversations to be had, we will have them.
"What I do know is that we will be in control of whether Gary stays at Celtic or goes.
"He is our player, he is under contract and we will decide what is best for this football club, first and foremost.
"I am in the market for quality footballers and I have to wait and see what happens there."

A new development in Eastbourne is to be named in honour of a stalwart of the local community.
Allingham Lodge on Upperton Road, the old Caffyn's Garage which is being developed by Churchill retirement Living, will be named after Henry Allingham, a longstanding figure in the town's community and one of the last surviving British veterans of the First World War. Henry lived in Eastbourne for more than 40 years and was awarded the Freedom of the Town in 2006.
The new Lodge name was suggested by winner Rosemary Skiggs as part of a competition run by Churchill Retirement Living to name its new development. Mrs Skiggs, who has lived in Eastbourne for 16 years, was presented with a cheque for £100 at a special naming ceremony.
Mrs Skiggs said, "When I saw the competition advertised, I wanted to pick a name that was strongly connected to Eastbourne, so I immediately thought of Henry Allingham.
"He was a longstanding figure in the town's community and was one of the last three surviving British veterans of the First World War.
"He was also the last surviving founder member of the RAF, the last man to have witnessed the Battle of Jutland and the last surviving member of the Royal Naval Air Service.
"Henry was a great example of long life in Eastbourne. Born in 1896, he was 113 when he passed away in 2009.
"He was Britain's oldest man, and for the last month of his life was recognised by Guinness World Records as the oldest man alive in the world. He jokingly attributed his longevity to 'cigarettes, whisky and wild, wild women'.
"He was a wonderful character and I think this is a lovely way to remember him."
Anne Scherrer, regional marketing manager for Churchill Retirement Living, said: "Churchill Retirement Living likes to involve the local community in choosing the names for its developments and often does so by running a competition asking for suggestions.
"We received a vast number of entries for the new Eastbourne development but we particularly liked the local connection that Mrs Skiggs' entry had and look forward to launching Allingham Lodge next year."
Allingham Lodge, which is currently under construction, will comprise of 61 privately owned, one and two-bedroom, self-contained retirement apartments, with features such as a video-entry system, lift to all floors, a 24 hour care and support system, and a resident Lodge manager.

Caira and Chris have always been best friends. Their moms were friends since a very young age, Caira and Chris are bound to be close and best friends, right?
Maybe a little too close. The day Caira turns sixteen, in the summer before Junior year, she thought nothing better than to give her virginity to her best friend. Someone who truly cared about her, even though it wasn't the real love.
Anyways, they go on like that. Like a friends with benefits thing, for a couple months that is.
What will happen when Caira finds out she's pregnant with Chris's baby. Will he leave her to take care of it herself, or will he be by her side?
Read to find out.
***this is one of my only stories that actually had a goal, which is really strange. These two will go through highs and lows just like a real teenage couple expecting a baby.
Thank you all!

Most of you went to colleges with big athletics programs, right? Both of mine, Georgia Tech and Stanford, were NCAA Division I schools so there was always some kind of athletic event going on. You know what else goes along with big athletics programs? Merchandise. Flags, license plate frames, keychains, glassware, and the big one — apparel! Shirts, sweatshirts, hats, jackets, vests, socks. You name it, and you can probably buy it with your school logo or mascot on it. I don't have any GT baby gear yet, but I know that when I'm ready to put our daughter in a Yellow Jacket onesie or kid's tee or even a cheerleader outfit, I will have a plethora of choices.
But Jose went to MIT. It's a fantastic school, as most people know. But…no major athletic program. And that means very, VERY slim pickings when it comes to MIT-branded apparel.
Even though our baby isn't due until August, for Father's Day I thought it would be fun to surprise Jose with some kind of MIT-themed baby item, but there's not much to be found. There are a couple sites that sell Ivy League apparel and they include MIT in that category, and then there's The Coop, MIT's bookstore. But I'm a little gun shy, because Jose has ordered from The Coop before only to end up disappointed with the quality. Take, for example, the nice fleece jacket he ordered a year or two ago. I've never seen an otherwise normal fleece jacket cut that strangely. It didn't fit at ALL, and we had to send it back.
Anyway. The Coop had a couple baby options, but nothing really jumped out at me. (I did, and still do, love this "Future Evil Genius" onesie featuring an evil-looking beaver, the MIT mascot. I have to order that at some point. But for now I wanted something that actually said MIT.) So I decided to attempt making something myself, and came up with the idea of appliqueing the MIT logo onto a onesie.
Here's how it turned out:
It ain't perfect, but it's not too bad — and most importantly, Jose loved it!
So how did I do it? Well, let's just say that it's a good thing those plain white onesies come in packs of five, because as with many of my projects lately, it took several tries — and several onesies — to get it right.
I downloaded the MIT logo, which they conveniently make available on their website — although I'm not sure they quite intended it for this type of use, I decided it would be fine (please don't sue me, MIT!) — and printed it out on a piece of paper to make sure it was the right size. Then I traced it onto some double-sided heat-n-bond iron-on adhesive and applied that to my maroon fabric according to the directions on the package. After that I cut out each piece and applied them to the onesie. Things were going great!
But then came the sewing…
Like I said earlier, it's a good thing the onesies came in a pack of five because my first and second attempts were utter failures. You can see the first on the left. It turned into all sorts of a mess! The fabric didn't feed through my sewing machine well at all, and my efforts to help it along just made it get all stretched out. I quickly realized that this was not going to work, and took to the internets to find the solution — stabilizer.
This stuff is awesome! (And I should have remembered it from years ago when I made a t-shirt quilt.) It irons onto the back of whatever you're sewing to keep stretchy knits from stretching, and then you can tear it away once the sewing is complete.
The finished back on my 3rd (and successful) attempt, with the stabilizer still in place
With the help of the stabilizer, my 3rd attempt finally resulted in something I was happy with! And now our little girl can show off her daddy's alma mater with pride — at least until she outgrows this 0-3 month onesie and I have to make another.

Apple links iPhone 6s battery/unexpected shutdown issues to overextended air exposure during manufacturing
Date: Tuesday, December 6th, 2016, 05:58
Category: battery, Hardware, iPhone, News
Apple has apparently figured out what the cause of its iPhone 6s battery flaws and unexpected shutdowns was.
The company released a short note linking the issues to mistakes made during the manufacturing process:
"We found that a small number of iPhone 6s devices made in September and October 2015 contained a battery component that was exposed to controlled ambient air longer than it should have been before being assembled into battery packs," Apple wrote on its Chinese website. "As a result, these batteries degrade faster than a normal battery and cause unexpected shutdowns to occur."
Apple has insisted that "this is not a safety issue," perhaps deflecting potential concerns related to the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 and its battery defects, which have caused the device to be taken off the market because of battery fires and explosions.
iPhones are designed to shut down automatically under some conditions to protect electronics from low voltage, Apple added.
Apple has recently begun a battery swap program in which owners of affected iPhons 6s handsets can get their device fixed for free, or a refund if they previously paid out-of-pocket. On Thursday, the company introduced a Web tool for checking for a qualifying serial number.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.

Two Summers in the Ice-Wilds of Eastern Karakoram: The Exploration of Nineteen Hundred Square Miles of Mountain and Glacier
London: T. Fisher Unwin, 1917.
First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. 296 pp, with 131 of 134 plates (most full page) and 3 folding maps. Recently rebound in half leather and marbled boards, with new endpapers. Perforated stamp on first page of text, accession date and number stamped on copyright and author's note pages; line in marker across top edge; else clean. Maps expertly repaired/reinforced at the folds (on the back only). Overall a pleasing copy of this scarce title. The American husband and wife team were wealthy, zealous, and energetic explorers who together made many expeditions to the Himalayas. Fanny, a suffragist as well as a bit of a publicity hound, made sure the world knew of her achievements as a pioneering female climber. (Among other achievements, she held the women's altitude record for 28 years after her conquest of 23,000-ft Pinnacle Peak in 1906.) Robinson (Wayward Women) amusingly describes her as having "practically battered the Karakorams into submission, first treading them over with her squat, hob-nailed figure and then pinning them down on virgin maps and charts to take home for the various Geographical Societies of England and America to fight over." This book chronicles the couple's fifth and final Karakoram expedition, in which they explored the Hush valley and the Saltoro and Baltoro Glaciers. (Neate W126).

I have learned tonight that I have very little memory of this week. It's very disconcerting. Actually, it really freaks me out. It freaks me out because in the moment, I feel ok and lucid. But, during conversations with my kids tonight - there are just huge chunks that don't even ring a bell. I don't know if I'll be around much the next few days. I think I'm going to curl up in bed and hide.

Balance. It's the key to a happy life, the secret of beautiful skin, the formula for staying healthy…
In a story that takes one giant leap – or a series of smaller but significant ones – from the kitchen table to the high street, sisters Rebecca and Clare Hopkins started Balance Me in 2005. Aromatherapist and retail expert Sian Jones joined them later and now this brand feels as if it's everywhere…in the high street, in the press, and we imagine they've built some sort of extension to accommodate all their beauty Awards?
Loved by the beauty elite from Kate Shapland to Jo Fairley, Balance Me strikes an intelligent, ethical balance between affordability and quality. Simple, clean and modern and enticingly packaged, if you were doing a brand analysis of the perfect natural brand, Balance Me would pretty much be it.
So, if you're jetting off somewhere soon, you might like their "Minis" while two new products also caught our eye this week: The Radiant Skin Collection a steal at £18 (in the pic) and the Daily Moisturiser SPF18 £26.
We predict a spike in daily SPFs next summer as more brands launch their versions of daily facial moisturisers with built-in SPFs – it's going to be a strong trend for 2013 (with higher SPF factors in the US and Australian markets for obvious reasons). They're light, convenient and protective and the formulas are being fine-tuned. Goodbye "claustrophobic white zinc face", those days are over.
It's six years since Balance Me hit the high street (at John Lewis). Here's to the next brilliant and beautiful six!

Green. The color of new life. The signal to go. A cheerful, springtime color.
It's also the color that tells me that my husband is okay. It's the little green dot next to his name on Facebook, indicating that he is "Active Now." When that green dot is there, it means that he is safe, sitting in front of his computer or on his iPhone. It makes my heart jump in excitement, and I can also give a sigh of relief for the moment.
I wanted to give a "life lately" update, since I have been horribly absent on my blog. Nursing school has basically taken over my life! Add deployment in there, and you have one harried, ragged nursing student and military wife. Right now, my stress levels are not nearly as high as they were a month ago, since I successfully passed my third semester of the BSN program at my school. Yes, it's summer school now, but I actually have more time to catch my breath.
In January, the "semester from hell" began, although it seemed fine as first. I had my interview on NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt, which put me on a high, but soon after that Mark left on his third deployment. I'm telling you: deployments may get more familiar, but the goodbye never gets easier. In fact, it may become more difficult each time. Since he had to attend pre-mobilization training at Ft. Bliss first, I dropped Mark off at our local civilian airport. His first two deployments, he left with other soldiers from his military base, so this felt very different yet no less sad.
We sat outside security for 15 minutes, holding hands, trying to chat cheerfully, and taking a few pictures. Before he got in line, we prayed the St. Michael prayer….and to my dismay, I let a tear escape and roll down my cheek. I've promised myself to never cry during a deployment goodbye, but for some reason I was unable to hold it back this time. I kept my eyes closed while we prayed, hoping he wouldn't see the tear, and then tried to surreptitiously wipe it away. But who am I kidding? Mark is an intelligence professional – he notices EVERYTHING.
Our hug and kiss at this goodbye were quick. I wanted to linger, but I could sense that Mark didn't want to get too caught up in emotion. This deployment was a difficult decision for him…and for me, since I had a say. It would've been easier for him to stay home with me and Zoey, do the once-a-month thing with the Reserves, and snag a government job. But this activated Reserves deployment was very tempting for two reasons: one, it would give him a HUGE boost for his intel career; and two, it would be guaranteed income for over a year – with most of it being tax-free.
I will admit that, at first, I did not want him to take a deployment. He applied for the position on November 11, 2016 – Veterans Day, ironically. In my journal that night, I wrote:
I really don't want him to go…I don't feel that swelling of pride…I don't want him gone for [X] entire months while I struggle through nursing school while running my doTERRA business, working at the VA, and taking care of Zoey and the house. I feel like we have given our time to the country already. The Army doesn't want him full time…why should we continue to sacrifice??
I still held some bitterness in my heart. The Army involuntarily separated him from the active component just a month before. He had sacrificed his physical and mental health and safety over two combat deployments to Afghanistan. He had been diagnosed with PTSD, TBI, sleep apnea, and esophageal issues probably stemming from burn pit exposure. Not to mention the strain that deployment and post-combat issues place on a relationship and marriage. Hadn't we given enough??
Yet in that same journal entry, I went on to pray:
Yet, Jesus, I know that for some reason, you may want Mark to deploy to [X]. I know that he would be using his CI [counterintelligence] skills there, which you seem to have endowed him with. He definitely has found his talent within the CI world. I praise and thank you for that!! :) I thank you for taking care of us this year….I ask that you give me the grace to accept, joyfully, what you ask of Mark.
Funnily enough, my next journal entry wouldn't be till the day after he left for pre-mobilization. By that time, I had come to accept it – even with some pride which was absent a couple months before. Yet I also began dealing with fear, which I wrote about in this post and which still plagues me. I know, it's more likely that he will come home in one piece than "something happening." But if you're a military wife, you KNOW that your mind "goes there" more times than you'd like. You get jumpy when there's a knock at the door that you don't expect. You wonder if you should keep your phone off silent at night, just in case you get a call with bad news. You rehearse in your head – almost without consent – what your reaction would be. Morbid? No, just a coping mechanism.
And THAT is why we get so excited about a little green dot. I do, anyway. Some of my friends gave up Facebook for Lent. Sorry, but Mark lives in my phone, and our lifeline is Facebook! Seeing that green dot screams "I'm here! I'm okay!" to me.
It took me awhile to get into a deployment rhythm, but eventually I got there. Well, until I had to unexpectedly move out of our house. Of COURSE this would happen during deployment! On the very day that Mark left the country, I got a call from the (new) property manager (a whole other story!) about needing to move soon. As exasperating as it was at first, in a weird way I welcomed the very big distraction from the deployment/nursing school grind. I found a lovely, dog-friendly apartment complex that was more conveniently located to all the places I frequent. My amazing, in-their-60's-but-spry parents came to help me move over spring break. (It would've truly been a pain without them!) Mark's twin brother Matt was able to get his own apartment in the same building. (He had been living in the house with us.) This is the first time I have lived without another human being, but I have to say that it's nice having my own space. Yet it's also wonderful to have a family member just a corridor away. We get together for meals frequently, update each other with information we've gotten from Mark, and Zoey gets to give German Shepherd kisses to her Uncle Matt.
The semester wore on and my anxiety heightened. I never knew when to expect a panic attack during an exam. Sometimes I was fine, and sometimes it almost felt like I was dying. Finally, I'd had enough. I was at the end of my all-natural rope. Don't get me wrong, I love my natural solutions like essential oils. But these things just weren't cutting it for me. Walking around with constant underlying – and sometimes raging – anxiety was stress enough on top of nursing school and a deployment, but throw in periodic panic attacks and you have a recipe for a break-down. In fact, I have let myself break down and cry a few times.
So I asked my primary care provider if I could try medication, specifically a beta blocker for test anxiety. He was totally agreeable to that. Let me tell you: that drug works like a miracle for me. (Disclaimer: I'm not giving out medical or nursing advice here. Just saying what works personally!) My only regret is that I didn't start taking it sooner! My heart rate stays normal, the adrenaline rush doesn't come, my anxieties melt away, and I'm able to think much more clearly during an exam. I'm very happy with my decision, and I'm planning on writing a blog post about "when natural isn't enough." We shouldn't beat ourselves up when we have to turn to medication, especially when the benefits clearly outweigh the risks. It's worth it to me to take a medication in order to prevent my body from ramping up its adrenaline into a full-blown panic attack, which stresses my adrenals, sucks away mental energy, lowers my immunity, and ultimately could derail my performance in nursing school.
And now, here we are: it's May already! I'm a little over six months away from graduating with my BSN and being eligible to take the NCLEX (RN board exam). It's kinda surreal! The only bummer is that Mark won't be here for my Pinning Ceremony. But I knew that at the beginning of the deployment, and I should be thankful that he will be able to watch it via FaceTime, time and place permitting.
With Memorial Day coming up, my mind has been on all our fallen soldiers and their families. My heart breaks for their losses, while at the same time feeling thankful for the freedom we have on account of their sacrifices. Losing your servicemember in combat is the worst nightmare of every military family, so I keep my sights on that little green dot. The green dot means life. It signals another conversation between us, even if that conversation is "just" instant messaging that gets interrupted periodically. (I mean, he's lucky to have any internet at all where he's at!) As much as fear plays with my head, I've grown in gratitude and reflection. I've been able to rekindle that pride that was lacking when we were making the decision for Mark to throw his hat into the deployment ring once again. As I wrote just the other day in my journal:
I think I need to think about how truly kickass Mark is, what an amazing opportunity this is. It's just with every great opportunity there comes risk as well – and some risk has to do with life and death situations. No matter what happens, I'm proud and thankful. Because Mark is doing something truly great for our nation and our future. We don't have to do this, we get to do this.
I don't suggest combining nursing school with a deployment. But IF you do it, know that you'll learn a lot about yourself and that your limits will be tested, sometimes on a daily basis. Embrace the moments you have "together" – via the wonders of technology. And know that, as far away as homecoming seems, every deployment comes to an end. And so does nursing school.
Thanks for bearing with me through this epistle of an update! Hopefully the next entry won't be so long, but I felt that this was necessary given my absence. Writing is therapeutic for me, and it was so helpful during the previous deployment. I will do my best to make blogging more regular!
Much love to you, my readers!

The R&B singer Patti Austin was born in 1950 in Harlem, New York but grew up on Long Island. As a child, Patti was inspired by her father, who was a jazz musician, and so it was no surprise that even as a young child she expressed interest in following in his footsteps. But while it's not unheard of for young children to enter the world of entertainment, Patti was a unique exception; she made her debut at the Apollo Theater when she was only four years old and by the time she was five she'd garnered the attention of Quincy Jones and RCA Records.
After signing with the label, Austin began a life-long career as a session and backup singer, eventually culminating in a solo career in the 1980's which spawned more than twenty R&B hits. Patti's debut began with the album End of a Rainbow in 1976, but it was the album Every Home Should Have On that put her on the map in 1981. Additional hit R&B and Jazz albums from Patti Austin include: The Real Me (1988), Love is Gonna Getcha (1990), The Secret Place (1994), For Ella (2002), and Avant Gershwin (2007), which earned her a Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal album.
But it was her duets with James Ingram, most notably "Baby, Come to Me" and "How Do You Keep the Music Playing?," that made Patti Austin's voice highly recognizable to an entire generation. Patti continues to perform and record, and was recently featured in the hit documentary film, Twenty Feet From Stardom. Her fans were also delighted to hear recently that she is currently working on a collaborative duet album with – of course – James Ingram. The album is scheduled for release in 2015.

Tender Games:
Tender Games
Artist albums often capture the act in question eager to demonstrate versatility and a panoramic stylistic command. By comparison, Tender Games, a new project involving twenty-year-old producers Marlon Hoffstadt and HRRSN (Ulrich Harrison), appears committed on its self-titled album to perfecting one style in particular: a particularly soulful and vocals-heavy take on house music. That's not to suggest that the album's a one-dimensional affair, by the way, as the duo makes room for both uptempo and downtempo tracks as well as forays into blues and garage. Calling the forty-four-minute release a future soul classic (as per the press release) is admittedly hyperbolic though not entirely off-the-mark.
The album clearly shows that no one should confuse the hometown Berliners with the dark, austere techno associated with the city's underground club scene. Recorded over a year's span in the studio of fellow Suolmates Chopstick & Johnjon, Tender Games features soulful vocal performances by HRRSN and a number of guest vocalists. The duo's invitingly warm sound is evident from the outset in the atmospheric splendour of the opening cut's garage groove and breathy vocal touches. With Your Perception having set the tone, the duo moves on to the irresistibly soulful club jam Lost, which, crowned by a soulful falsetto turn by HRRSN, sees the two offering a riff on a prototypical Justin Timberlake cut; truth be told, the vocal delivery is so similar, it wouldn't be hard to imagine someone mistaking HRRSN's croon (Come and dance with me ) for JT's. An understandable choice for a first single, the pleading In A Mess features another strong HRRSN vocal performance, this time accompanied by glimmering Rhodes piano chords.A change in singers doesn't dampen the album's joyous spirit, with the swagger of the infectious Make Believe complemented by SteeDownes and Yvy Coe's energized presence, though the pace does slow for a full-out stab at blues balladry during In Her Bed with a heartfelt vocal performance by Miss NatNat. But the dancefloor is clearly the natural home for Tender Games' music, as the slinky soul-house cut Want It All and hard-grooving A Million Times (the latter of which boasts a vivacious vocal by Meggy) make clear. All of the strengths of the outfit's soulful sound come together to dazzling effect in Too Late, which sees a melancholic lead vocal buoyed by a funky, bass-throbbing house pulse and sweetened with the ear candy of vocal snippets. Such material show Tender Games to be an album that oozes populist appeal, though at little compromise to its integrity. The release, in short, convincingly shows that the concepts quality music and mainstream appeal needn't be mutually exclusive.

Life Partners Investors Denied Class Cert. In Settlement Suit
While U.S. District Judge Barbara M.G. Lynn's order was filed under seal, Life Partners released excerpts from the decision in a statement on Wednesday. The judge said she was "highly skeptical" that the plaintiffs, relying mostly on hindsight, could convince a jury that the company's medical consultant used an unreasonable method to chart life expectancy, according to...

|Too Drunk to Hold a Glass?
In my role at Silicon Valley Bank, I get lots of calls from people wanting to pick my brain. It's probably why I can't remember what day it is anymore. Brain pickers come in all flavors; as investors, the press, people with a business concept, and on occasion people who have the latest and greatest new product or gadget. Some of the ideas are novel but never has anyone presented me with something that I saw as a disruptive or transformational innovation. That changed in September of 2012 when I saw the beta model for the Coravin Wine Access System.
|Gadget to Never Buy Wine Again
In August of last year I got a call from Josh Makower. He told me he had a product that "preserved opened wine for months" and "the transformational potential of the product for consumers, restaurants, and wine producers would be unprecedented!" To say I was skeptical would be a massive understatement as I've seen hundreds of gadgets in wine fail, but a few things intrigued me here. It turned out Josh had been involved with several successful medical start ups with Silicon Valley Bank on the Tech side of our organization, and he was a part of NEA which is a top tier Venture Capital Firm. He also said he was bringing his colleague Nick Lazaris who was one of the early CEO's of another of our technology start ups, Keurig. With skepticism held in abeyance, I took the meeting.
|Your Glass Will Never Be Empty Again
Josh brought in one of the beta models of the Coravin system. With a special needle that's used in the medical field attached to a device that looked like a rabbit wine opener, he easily inserted the needle through the capsule of an unopened bottle. Then, pressing a button with his thumb. Pumping in argon gas, he pumped out a single glass of wine. He then removed the needle and the cork resealed itself. That was interesting but not earth shattering to me. Then the ah-HA! moment came: The wine that he poured was a white Burgundy with a date in permanent ink. The bottle was half full though it still had the capsule on. What I discovered was the wine had been first opened four months prior and the capsule had several holes from later pours. We then tasted an identical unopened bottle and popped the cork for a side-by-side comparison: No difference whatsoever. The wines were identical. Now that WAS earth shattering. A wine that had the first glass poured months prior, tasted the same as an unopened bottle. My mind started racing to applications.
|Turn Wine into A Tree
I could have a glass of white, pinot, and cabernet every night at dinner and never worry about spoiling a bottle. Corked wine? A fine wine retailer or tasting room customer could take a very small sample and test it with reactive test strips to check for specific flaws before taking it home (First someone has to invent those strips). Tasting rooms could use an industrial version with a 1 ounce meter on the gadget that could be attached to a larger argon tank thus eliminating waste or accidentally pouring oxidized wine. My mom could drink her magnum of moscato one glass at a time for 2 months without the wine changing. That case of wine you bought a decade ago and stored … has it reached the point where its time to drink it? The applications are limitless.
|Make Sure You Spill Wine
I don't think the product is perfect yet:. The argon canister only contains enough gas for about 15 pours. It would be nice if that handled a few more glasses but I'm guessing we'll see more canister options at some point in the same way we saw so many different extensions from Keurig through the years. In addition, the product at first blush is a little pricey at USD $279.00. That said I drink a bottle of wine at that price on occasion so maybe its a bargain? Thinking further, after paying for the machine itself, we're talking about getting the freedom to try any wine in your cellar and not worry about spoiling it for 66 cents a glass based on 15 pours at $10 for a canister. Given the price of those bottles, the all-in price actually seems very reasonable, so I take it all back. Its a fair price.
The good news for you is I did contact the founders last week to let them know I was going to dedicate the SVB on Wine Blog to the Coravin product. So while I don't get anything for recommending this, they have offered to anyone reading this blog, 3 gratis argon canisters if you buy a package between now and Friday August 9th using the PROMO CODE: SVBWine. You can do that through this link to the Coravin website.
As a final point, for those wineries who are interested in trying this out, reselling these in their own tasting rooms at some point, or have other questions about commercial use, I've been given the contact at Coravin for additional questions and discussion. You can contact John Fruin, National Sales Manager here: email@example.com.
What do you think? Did you hang in there and read another exceptionally long Blog? Are you skeptical of this product like I was?
Log in and offer your thoughts about this product or any other storage devices that you are using and appreciate.

- Significant exposure and momentum beyond a few introductory words began with commitment for a trip to the Washington DC Temple Visitor's center.
When was/is your baptism?
- My Baptism was the end of August 2009.
How many members of your family are members of the Church as well?
- To my knowledge, my recently Baptized daughter and I are the only members of my family (blood / marriage) past and present.
In one word, describe your feelings about the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
- Becoming
