I am still detoxing from the "go go go" this weekend. I feel like such an old lady with how tired I am these days. I am only 23 people, what the heck?! Omgsh, so so so excited that Halloween is coming up!! My Bestie bon bon and I went and got our costumes this weekend! We are gonna be sexy cops and N and Bon Bon's hubby are gonna be cops too. We are pretty stoaked! I haven't dressed up for Halloween and actually gone and done things (Except trick or treating with my niece) ever since leaving CA. But now that we're back, its time to parrrtay!! What are you guys doing for Halloween? I cannot wait, Halloween is seriously my 2nd favorite holiday!!
Oh and I have a killer workout plan for the month of October, and to be honest I cannot wait! I am waiting to start till Wednesday because bunny boo's bday is tomorrow night and I gotta be here for that of course! Plus my no carbs after I get home from work is in full effect. Today was day 1 and it was okay. My mom made this awesome spinach pasta dish though and I wanted some sooo bad. I just had a chicken breast, cottage cheese and broccoli. I was so hungry too. With my new job, I really can't have a snack in the afternoon. So I have to eat all my food at lunch and only then. When I start my gym routine after work I plan on snacking on a luna bar on the way there.
So what do you think of my costume? I am sure my g-ma who is an avid reader does not approve, but for Halloween, I am not going for tasteful hehe

So my birthday happenings
Well this has just been a birthday weekend for meee! Since my actual birthday is today on a Sunday, I decided that I wanted to celebrate it on Saturday since I would be staying up late and I could sleep in! Great idea since we didn't end up getting home from dinner until 11:30pm. Needless to say I was so tired this morning for when I got up for yoga. Last night's dinner was soooo delicious though. We went to Cheesecake factory. I just love the atmosphere in there too. The lighting is great and the food and portions are great. My mom, me, and my sister shared a bottle of wine which was very good. I am not picky when it comes to wines, but my favorite ones are cab's and merlot's. They have a sweeter taste than the shiraz's in my opinion. I cut loose majorly on my eating last night and when they brought the bread and butter to the table, no loaf was safe! It was seriously like I hadn't eaten in 2 months. N kept laughing at me cause I was just so much about it, I kept tearing off more bread and grabbing a butter along with it. But I thought what the heck, its my birthday and I am gonna work out tomorrow. For dessert, what else, but cheesecake! Please enjoy the before dinner and during dinner pics.
I don't really feel older, just more tired. At 1:45pm today I kissed 22 goodbye for good by getting a mani/pedi and relaxing as I got the best leg/foot massage. It seriously lasted for 20 minutes. JUST THE MASSAGE! All you ladies out there know what I am talking about when I say how important the massage is to the pedicure. I tip on how the massage is.
I am excited to see what 23 brings. 22 brought change. All of it for the best too. Things fail so other things can happen that will bring more positivity in your life. I learn more about myself each year. In my 22nd year on earth, I have learned how strong I am. I have made fitness a priority in my life, lost weight and gained a healthy strong body, ran a 5K, obtained my CPT certification, moved back to CA where my heart truly is,started a new job in a new industry, and matured in how I value people and learned to let go of the people who shouldn't be valued. In my 23rd year I hope to: run 2 more 5K's or even a 10K, purchase a house with the man of my dreams/life, get our English Mastiff, watch 2 babies come into the world to 2 of the most valued friends I have, and maybe even start a family of mine and N's own. I believe that 23 will be a great year....I will let you know how it goes when 24 comes around :D
I hope you all have a great Sunday and soak up the last bit of weekend we have left! I wanted to show you all my new iphone that N got me for my birthday and how peerrty it is with its new hot pink cover!

We are offically headed down hill from here folks
It is Wednesday night, yay!! You know what that means. Its all down here from here till the beloved Friday! Its so funny cause driving home on the freeway on Fridays, everyone just seems to be in such a laid back mood. When you look in everyone's cars they have either taken off their ties from work, taken off that cardigan over that tank top, or whatev the heck they want. Cause it's Friday!!!
My plan (see Sunday's post) has been going pretty good so far. I have gotten up every morning (Except this AM, desperatly needed my sleep)at 5 AM and ran 3 miles. SO proud of myself!! I plan on waking up tomorrow morning too. Cause this Sunday is my birthday and I have a super hot dress and heels. Cannot wait to post pics! I am going to be 23 which I know doesn't sound old, but to me it feels old. I can't help but think that I am almost 25! That's halfway through my 20's and almost to 30! I am going out with N, my mom, my dad, my bunny boo, my sister to Cheesecake Factory. I don't even need to explain to those of you who have been there, why I am choosing CKF. I am also celebrating my bday on Saturday instead of Sunday so I can have some drinky poo's and sleep in on my actual birthday. Sunday(my actual bday) I plan on devulging in a yoga class to start my day and then later that night I will open presents, eat my mom's chocolate cake and go into my chocolate coma from there till I have to go to work in the morning. AH! That will be too much. I know age is just a number and I never thought I'd be one of those people who freaks over numbers, but I think I am starting to be. Do you get freaked out by getting older? I have religiously been watching my face every night and liberally applying Garnier face firming night cream. I tan in a box and I know its not good for my skin, but its addicting and its so relaxing. Belive it or not, my dad is an avid tannner. Which is hilarious cause if you knew my dad, you wouldn't think he would care to be tan. God forbid he skips a day of tanning ;)

Ha ha Mondays
Did you get through it? The inevitable Mondays! If I am being honest, my Monday actually went really good. I woke up feeling tired, but I went to bed before 10 last night which I never do (I should note it felt amazing) and woke up at 5 AM sharp to begin my run. I pulled on my FILAS running pants, pulled up my socks, laced up my shoes and set out to wake up my bf Tread Mill. He was awake of course (he always seems ready to go. A huge perk with him ;)) and turned on the best thing that was on TV....SELENA!! O I used to watch this movie all the time when I was growing up. I LOVE Selena's songs and I think Jenny from the block did a great job portraying her. Made those 3.15 miles go back like that! After my morning routine of coffee, shower, coffee, hair, coffee, make up, coffee & bfast, I was out the door! I drove with a kick ass attitude today which never really happens on a Monday. I was listening to a Girls Scout of America commercial which had me think of a email I got last week from a co worker. Once that email was in my brain, everyone on highway 50 probably looked over to my car in the traffic and their coffee mug in hand thinking "I'll have what she's having". So ladies and gent's. I present to you, the best way to start a morning. LAUGH!!

Get ready...set...GO!
This chick has a plan. Yup, a plan....and I need to stick to that plan. I have to think of a really good reward if I complete it. I have no friggin idea why getting my butt up in the morning or going to the gym after work has been so tough for me lately, but it has. True, I enjoyed the unemployment life for 1 month so I got used to sleeping in till 8 every morning(Yes 8am!! I don't expect much now do I? :D). But when N and I were in North Carolina, I got my butt to the gym everyday after work and worked it for an hour and a half! I need a plan. I am a follow a workout plan sorta girl. Like when you go in the gym, you gotta have a plan. Otherwise your that person that while you are on the treadmill, you watch them wander around like they are lost till they find a machine they wanna use. So. Here is my plan. Since N starts his new shift next Monday (he'll offically be out of training, YAY!!), I am going to go to the gym after work. He will be working until 9:30pm M-F, so I will have some major time to kill until he gets home. BUT this week, my plan is to workout M-F on the treadmill that's in my house. I will run 3 miles every morning before work! If I can do this I will buy myself __________....still don't know yet, but I will think of something really good and practical. My birthday is next Sunday and I cannot wait!! I already know the shoes I'm wearing!! *PICS WILL COME!*. I am sorta waiting to see what N and my fam and friends get me to figure out what my prize will be. I'm pretty sure I'll be getting myself 1 year Oxygen Magazine subscription, but I also asked for that for my birthday so I am waiting.
O and my eating plan next week is what I'm super excited about too. When N and I lived at the HOLEtel before we left NC, I didn't eat any carbs (other than fruits and veggies) for dinner. It worked really well. Technically you don't need carbs if you don't plan on doing much of anything or need major concentration for dinner. Since N and I won't be having dinner together (sniff...sniff :( ), it will make it easier to just scramble up some eggs, drizzle with some hot sauce, and voila! You got a protein packed dinner to repair those muscles I will have been working previously at the gym.
I will TRY to blog more during the week since I was so bad last week. I need to keep you guys up with my progress. Wish me luck!!

Satisfying Saturday
How is your Saturday going? Mine has gone splendid. Its 8:35pm and I plan on staying up until 12am! WOO HOO! I am such a rebel :) Ya see I am having lunch tomorrow with a good friend tomorrow, so I am not going to be able to make it to church which in turn will give me some sleeping in time.
I finished my first full week at work and man, was it draining!! I had sooo many things to learn and certain people in my office are super picky on how things are done. Which just adds to the stress even more cause I want to make a good impression since techincally I am on my 90 day probatio. Which mean after 90 days, I am up for review and I could get a raise :) Over all I think I am doing great and people like me. I just hate being the new person. I hate having to hold back who I realy am (fun loving of course! he he) until I get to know everyone's personality. I was so tired when I got home (was so used being able to sleep in) that I didn't even get to work out!! So today I had a plan of yoga and an ab attack class planned at my new gym! I actually ended up just running about 2 miles and doing some weights. Pretty much 2 sets of squats, leg lifts, leg extensions. I didn't feel my grove today which shocked me since I hadn't worked out for a whole week. You'd think I'd be in the mood. My brain was there, my heart was on vaca, following me on this one? I was really bummed about this cause yesterday I was totally into it and all excited since I was gonna be doing some yoga (LOVE IT!), but alas, not the case this morning. So tomorrow I plan on running my 3 miles before I go have lunch with my friend. So this weekend, I will most def be making it up.
Oh and tonight N and I met up with Bestie Bon Bon and her hubby and little baby Aly for some dinner at this place called Islands. SOOO delicious and they give you bottomless fries. I LOVE fries and I never get them since I try to be good and get a side salad, but I decided to treat myself :) O and did I mention they have the best margaritas?! DEEELISH. We sat and talked forever and then even went out to the cars and talked some more till poor little Aly was fussing since it was close to her bed time.
Have a great Saturday night blogger world!!

Not dead!
Alas, I have no fallen off the face of this earth, but have been training my firm ass off! Whew, what a huge process this is. My office is really cool. There are 8 people inncluding me who work there, but this office could easily fit 8 more people. I have worked in all sorts of sizes when it comes to employee's, but I will say that I prefer smaller better. You get to know every single person. After the 1st day, I already knew everyone's names (snaps for Karli!). The office manager (my training guru) has off Thursday, Friday and Monday. When I heard about this and the fact I would be by myself after 2 days of training, my eyes almost instantly started welling up with tears. But never fret faithful readers, for I have the gift of grabbing the bull by the horns and hanging on :D. Today was actually not too bad, but I am not letting down my guard yet for tomorrow or Monday. Speaking of tomorrow, working gives you such an appreciation for the weeekends. I am so tired tonight (which is why I am keeping this short), and what I would give to just give to be able to sleep till 8 am tomorrow! Ahh, the good ol' unemployment days, ha ha. The sucky side of unemployment is no health insurance or money, so I'll take working thanks very much :)
So far I really like the people and my boss. He likes certain things done a certain way and I am going to try really hard not to mess up cause I don't like disappointing people. Its like Bestie since I was 4 years old told me, "Your new, its to be expected your going to have a few mistakes". SOOO true.
I know this blog is short and sweet, but I PROMISE to update more this weeekend. I am just so looking forward to getting in bed before 10, he he!!

She works hard for the money...
Hello bloggies :) So tomorrow is the day! My 1st day at my last job *thinking really positive*!!! I am so excited! This will be the job that I will be in until N and I start a family and I then go into my new position of being a stay at home mommy and wife (REALLY looking forward to it!)
I have no clue as to what I am going to wear yet, but I promise to fill you in with the outfit as well as how the day went. My office manager said tomorrow is basically filling out a bunch of paper work and then start training on the phones and shadowing her on how she talks to customers and how to handle situations. EEK!! So excited!! Then after I sort of get the hang of the commute, I can start going to the gym in the AM :)
Speaking of the gym, I didn't go today like I wanted :( I had to talk to Dell's customer service and was on the phone for 1 hour and 46 minutes trying to track down our repaired lap top!! By that time I lost my motivation for working out and since it was a dark cold day, I decided to go home and enjoy the weather :)
Is anyone else enjoying the football season?! N and I have been all about it this season (mostly N since I have to admit, I've been slacking on watching..BAD Karli!)
Have a great Tuesday people! OOOOO and I almost forgot, The Biggest Loser starts tomorrow. PLEASE watch it! You WILL get inspired and its so touching to see these people go through the struggles that they do. It will motivate you to add that 1 extra lap around the block or get the grilled chicken salad instead of the fried.

New happenin's
I hope everyone's weekend went great. I had a very relaxed weekend. I didn't work out at all- GASP!! I know!! HOWEVER- On Saturday N and I went and got him signed up with a new phone plan with AT&T and got him an iphone 3GS! SO jealous! I want one so bad (with a hot pink rubber outer cover of course). I am hoping to get one for my birthday. Hint Hint to N...not that he doesn't know :D!
Oh and we signed up for California Family Fitness Gym!! How wonderful is this gym?!
It has SO many things to offer. Its open from 4:30 AM-12AM and it has 2 pools(HEATED!!) a spa, a food court, sauna/steam rooms booko workout equipment, classes(What I am super excited about!!) and TV's on all the cardio equipment :) I couldn't be happier. Oh and we'll have access to ALL of the clubs!! We got a really great deal thanks to a friend of mine who works there! I am so excited! Since I start my new job on Tuesday, I will be going to the gym tomorrow for sure!! The days of running on in the hot sweat room in my parents extra room are coming to an end, ha ha!! I think I am going to make my own mini schedule of what classes I want to do and when I just want to work out on my own. The guy who signed us up told us that we each have 3 free personal training sessions if we wanted, but N wants me to make a program for him, which I thought would be fun. The only bummer is we won't really be able to work out with each other except on the weekends since N will be working 12:30pm- 9:30pm M-F for the next 3 months.
Things are falling into place people!! Such a great feeling!! Its so great to be back in California. N and I have been back since the beginning of August and its like I never left! I couldn't be more happier!
This week I start my job and I am really excited. I talked to the office manager the other day and she said that they have a luncheon/initiation party on the first day they ever have someone new start and that person gets to pick a restaurant of their choice and we order in. I think that is a fabulous idea since it won't be that awkward "Hi." when someone walks by my desk. I have confidence that I will pick everything up, but starting a new job has always made me nervous just cause its the whole learning new things and developing new relationships with people. I will let you all know how it goes. I got GREAT deals at Ross and Marshalls last week when I went and got some new work clothes.
Tomorrow I am expecting a phone call from mine and N's realtor! EEEK!! So excited about this!! I will be discussing our wants and needs in a house and neighborhood. I am so excited!! I am going to also call her lender she really likes and see how much we can get pre-qualified for! So excited about this!!
I will be blogging from bed with my cup of coffee in bed tomorrow. My last day tomorrow as an unemployed woman enjoying her cup of coffee lazily in bed with the laptop on a Monday morning :)

Beauty Giveaway!!
The lovely Jen has a giveaway on her blog! Look at the great stuff she is giving away:
You can visit her blog at http://www.just-jens-blog.blogspot.com . Her blog is one of my favorites to watch.
Speaking of beautifying things, it is after Labor Day which means summer is coming to an end, WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!! I do love summer, but I love Fall and Winter even more. I LOVE wearing cozy sweaters and jeans and boots and having that hot mocha or hot apple cider. Plus Christmas is my favorite holiday. I just love the decorations and putting up the Christmas tree. Just the whole ritual of everything makes me happy and more jolly. The hard work of trying to burn off what I am taking in, not so much. In the spirit of it starting to cool off and transition into Fall at the end of this month, I have decided to go back brunette with my hair. Last winter and I did brown and at first it freaked me out cause I've never been anything, but Playboy bunny blonde. However N loved it (it was like another woman w/out the cheating, ha ha) and it grew on me. I always felt that I needed another color in my hair though. So this past weekend when I was with Bestie since 4 years old, she helped me with that dilema. I have decided to go black on the underneath part of my hair and dark chocolate brown on the top. Right now its blonde ontop and brown underneath and I LOVE the 2 tone look + it solves my dilema with needing more than 1 color in my hair. Oh and also, my hair will get a break from the blonde fried-ness. I totally fried my hair a few months ago when I tried to bleach my roots TWICE IN 2 DAYS and it fried off some hair. I don't have a bald spot or anything, its just too short of a layer now on top. Since I WAS unemployed(cause I am NOT anymore haha!!), I just throw it up in a jaw clippy thing after the shower and let it air dry and I don't dry it out with a hair dryer and straightner. My friend who is a hair dresser and who is actually going to do my hair for me this fall, recommended this product to me called K Pak and its by Joico. Its like a deep conditioner that she recommends I use 2x a week. It has protein and will love my hair long time.
Do you guys have a special hair regimen that you like? I need something to help nurish my hair and help it grow! I am already taking prenatals, and its helped a tad.
This means I get to take a trip to my favorite beauty store, Ulta!! I need to get more shampoo anyways and they have crest whitening strips cheaper there than Target. Gotta have that peertty smile for my new job :)

Hi, its Karli, I'm not here right now, leave a message..
That is what everyone will be hearing on my VM today and tomorrow!! Wanna know why? This weekend N and I are going to Ukiah to see my Bestie since we were 4 years old and her fiancee!! I am sooooooooooooo beyond excited!! I am packed and ready to go! Just gotta eat some Greek yogurt and some kashi and we ready to go!! We have plans for some fun! So watch out Ukiah!! I will most def post pictures on Monday.
Speaking of Monday...I GOT A JOB!!! That interview I had the other day at the CPA firm, I got it!! I am officially a receptionist @ ________ and ________. HA HA!! So not going to make it public for safety reasons, but just know that little miss thang got a job!! I got called back for a 2nd interview on Thursday to meet with the owner, aka my new boss, and I guess I totally rocked it!! Fun thing is too, that they have dogs in there. And I don't mean little Paris Hilton dogs, I mean a Mastiff and German Shepard! I LOVE big dogs! I grew up with a Great Dane and I loved him so much that N and I plan on getting one when we get a house. I am SO excited for that!! They are so great with little kids and they just love their owners so much. Oh and while we are on the topic of dogs, get a load of this! A new mom and her husband were home with their 6 month old last Monday night and the woman fell asleep. Not a total biggy, right? Well they have a PIT BULL, and the pit bull chewed the 6 month olds TOES OFF!!! Now what the friggin eff?! That is the most discusting thing I have ever heard! Oh and p.s., guess where it was? Good ol' North Cackalacky! The couple didn't realize this till they changed their sons diaper the next morning! The woman apparently didn't hear the son's cries due to her "medication" she was on (I believe we call it crack), and slept through it. Ugh, so sad. I don't have a personal vendetta against pit bulls, but cmon people, they get bad press with these sort of stories. So sad. Now the babies foot could have to be amputated.
Have a safe and happy Labor day everyone!!

You give me Fever...
Babies that is. A little background on N and I...we have been married for almost 5 years (yes I got married young, don't wanna hear flack) and we both want to start a family in the near future. I am beyond ecstatic because when N was in the Marines when we first got married, I was ready then. I have always always always wanted to be a young mom/wife. N and I both want for me to stay home with our kids. #1, it is SO important to raise your kids in my opinion. I am not bashing any womans choice in working while having young kids at home, but for me, it is so important for me to stay at home and raise our kids. When I look back when I'm 80 years old, I don't want to be in my bed with N next to me in bed reading Stephen Kings 100 millionth book, and regret not raising our kids because we HAD to have a new car. Or we put them in day care because we couldn't budget correctly or frankly just going out to dinner/lunch 1 time too many times a month. I hate to get Dr. Laura on everyone, but even that woman pushes how important it is for YOU to raise your kids, not your mom or dad, not your sister or brother, a friend or neighbor. Being around Bon Bon and her little Aly, I watch them and Aly loves Bon Bon so much and Aly is SOOOOOO close to walking its not even funny. I can't imagine missing my babies first step because we were at work.
Now on that note, like I mentioned earlier I want to be a young mom. Let me rephrase that, I don't want to be a young mom like I really want a new purse, my maternal clock or whatever you want to call it is ticking and has been for about 4 years. I don't believe there is any time that is the "right" time. People make it work constantly and you have to BUDGET and MAKE SACRAFICES. But in the end it pays off and you get to raise the kids. I think if you keep saying "lets wait until the car is paid off" or "I want to be in this job for at least 1 year" or "I want to wait until we buy a house", you will keep putting it off and putting it off and putting it off. Lets face it, there are ALWAYS things that are going to come up. A car that needs major work, a freezer that breaks and you need to buy a new one ASAP, just about anything and everything can come up. Heck, you could even LOSE your job. Nothing is ever guranteed. Plans change so you have to make what YOU want/need in life work. I don't mean give up any fun weekends or dinners with your hubby (these you should most def keep to stay connected. VERY IMPORTANT). You are going to be fine no matter what happens and you can always make it work.

Dear Jerry Springer white trash women
Dear white trash women on Jerry Springer,
You don't know me, but millions of us who are unemployed know you. I have taken it upon myself to tell how sad and funny you are all being. I will confess that at times in your interview with Jerry, I feel sorry for you. You have no idea when Jerry takes little jabs at your ignorance and makes the crowd laugh at you. You look up at him with that deer in the headlights look and your sad toothless mouth and just look like he is speaking some sort of foreign language to you. I really think you need to pop in some dentures and buck the heck up and say "Jerry, I don't deserve to be humiliated more than I already have. Don't you think that finding out that my husband sleeping with my mom AND sister is enough?" Cmon ladies, you can do it. Take some pride in yourselves. I appreciate the afternoon laughs you give me though when you rightfully beat the shit out of your son in laws for cheating on your daughters with your other daughter. I think watching him run around stage like the little boy he is hilarious! You had every right to kick him out of your double wide!
Your faithful viewer,

As the high school football season begins Friday night, Stroudsburg is hands down the team to beat. The defending champions won the conference a year ago with one MVC loss and went 9-3 overall.
Ah, the dreaded prediction column.
You know, it's the story that eight of the nine MVC football coaches pin on a billboard and say, "look, nobody thinks we can win!"
And yes, the Mountain Valley Conference has nine teams as members this fall — Allen and Dieruff are new to the conference — so that adds a new spice to the recipe.
But as the teams open play Friday night, Stroudsburg is hands down the team to beat. The defending champions won the conference a year ago with one MVC loss and went 9-3 overall.
The Mounties lost the best player in the league in quarterback Robert Bennie, they lost two running backs, a tight end and took a few hits in the defensive secondary. It should be noted that Bennie was equally important at safety.
I still think the Mounties will win the MVC, only this time I think Stroudsburg will go undefeated in the process. Why such a bold prediction? It's the Mounties' defense.
I had one coach tell me this week that he's never had a defensive end beat him. That's probably completely accurate.
But what Stroudsburg has in 2012 — albeit with two fairly significant holes at safety — is a front seven that will be very hard to run against.
They average over 250 pounds on the defensive front and have two Division I prospects (Sebastian Joseph and Blaine Woodson) and a new senior in Kenny Tucker who will get his share of sacks this year.
Inside linebacker Philip Stokes proved last year that he can play, and with a pair of 265-pound tackles in front of him, Stokes should have a field day making tackles in the middle.
Listen, I believe that Pleasant Valley's Brandon Leap and Pocono Mountain East's Evan Fardella can throw the ball against the Mounties. Stroudsburg might even give up a big play or two.
But I can't believe that East Stroudsburg North's triple option (with a very talented QB in Will Quiles and a hard-nosed fullback in David Allbaugh) is going to run for 200 yards against the Mounties. The Timberwolves are a little inexperienced in the skill positions, and historically their defense hasn't made enough stops at key times.
I think Pocono Mountain West is too inexperienced, Lehighton is rebuilding after another coaching change and East Stroudsburg South will be better, but not good enough.
Dieruff is improved from its previous disasters and the rumor is its best player left for Bethlehem Catholic.
The pressure is on Stroudsburg because it's safe to say that it believes it can win the MVC. I think the Mounties were a bit upset that they didn't go 6-0 last year (they lost to Pocono Mountain East 7-3 on the conference's opening night).
I am very curious to see how sophomore Mike Nikorak reacts to the pressure of being a first-time starter at quarterback. He's tall and lengthy with a big arm and certainly looks the part, but let's see how he looks with a rush in his face.
The player to watch, though, is Donovan McDonald. The receiver has great hands and can fly. We'll see how coach Joe Bernard finds ways to get the ball to this talented junior.
If the offense can stake a lead late in the game, it's safe to say the Mounties' defense should do its part to make the lead hold up. But then again, predictions aren't worth much on Friday night.

Why Republicans might reject path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants
Re: "Bush nudges GOP on immigration as lawmakers meet," July 11 news story.
There is only one reason for some House Republicans to resist any path to citizenship for illegal immigrants: it is bad for business. By keeping the underground status quo, there are employers, dependent on illegal labor, who can continue to hire and exploit cheap foreign labor to ensure current business profits. It is difficult to be required to pay minimum wage and/or benefits to a non-existent employee.
House Speaker John Boehner's claim that Republicans are waiting for the borders to be secured to their satisfaction is just a ruse. The stall tactic continues to allow both people and dollars to flow while too many Republicans appear to be making a lot of noise on an issue they really do not want to change. This is not a party-line issue of blocking President Obama's desired reform. Former President George W. Bush was blocked as well. This is about dollars, not sense.

OAKLAND, Calif., Oct. 27 (UPI) -- Occupy Oakland activists Thursday erected at least one tent following a third night of marches in the California city triggered by clashes with riot police.
An Iraq War veteran, identified as Scott Olsen, 24, of Daly City, suffered a skull fracture when police lobbed teargas at the demonstrators earlier this week. The San Francisco Chronicle reported his condition had been upgraded to fair Thursday but was still unconscious and on a respirator as of Wednesday night.
The Oakland Tribune reported television footage showed a tent and a handful of people in the Frank H. Ogawa Plaza in front of City Hall early Thursday after protesters knocked down a chain-link fence that had been erected to keep them out.
Meanwhile, Occupy Atlanta protesters gathered in Atlanta's downtown Centennial Olympic Park Wednesday evening, vowing to move to other locations, including college campuses, to carry out their protest against what the national Occupy movement sees as corporate greed, the influence of lobbyists on lawmakers and general U.S. social and economic inequities.
The protesters later moved to midtown Atlanta. The activists were evicted from their original downtown park encampment shortly after midnight Wednesday when the city revoked their permit to stay in the park. Fifty-three demonstrators were arrested for refusing to leave Woodruff Park.
The Occupy movement, which began in New York City Sept. 17, has spread to more than 100 other U.S. cities.
New York police arrested at least 10 demonstrators Wednesday night protesting in solidarity with the Oakland activists, the New York Daily News reported.
But officials in several cities appear to be losing patience with the protests and others likely will follow, The New York Times reported Thursday.
In San Francisco, officials told several hundred protesters they were violating the law by camping at a downtown site amid concerns about unsanitary conditions, including garbage and human waste.
Providence, R.I., Mayor Angel Taveras said he would seek a court order to have protesters moved from Burnside Park, which they have occupied since Oct. 15.
Chicago demonstrators outside the office of Mayor Rahm Emanuel Wednesday requested round-the-clock access to Grant Park and demanded the release of 300 protesters arrested in recent weeks.
"He's denying us our constitutional right to not only free speech, but peaceful continual assembly," protester Andy Manos, 32, said of the mayor.
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, who had given soaked protesters ponchos earlier this month, said the protest next to City Hall "cannot continue indefinitely," the Los Angeles Times reported. He cited concerns about the cleanliness of the camp and damage to the lawn and trees.
Los Angeles City Attorney Carmen Trutanich said police ought to enforce a law the forbids people to camp in city parks after 10:30 p.m. But Los Angeles police officials said they do not plan to move the protesters.
In reaction, the protesters issued a statement saying they had no intention of leaving, the Times reported.
"As for a time stamp on our departure, there is none," the protesters wrote. "Regarding the perceived lack of focus: Our actions are governed by a democratic process and we go through process to gain consensus.
"This can sometimes be lengthy, but we are determined that, as representatives of the 99%, all voices are heard and considered."

Nameberry's predictions for baby names 2013:
Coolest Direction in Naming: North
Seasonal names have taken on a wintery chill. Winter (used by Gretchen Mol) itself is sounding fresher than Summer or Autumn, and March and January are moving in on May and June. We've also been seeing Snow and Frost, especially as middle names, and we predict there'll be more crisp and nippy names ahead.

klcalder2 Says:
I have found myself waning on loving double 'l' names, but I'll always love Lily/Lillian. And I suppose it's not surprising that names are gravitating to quite long or very brief.
On Nameberry, there seem to be two major camps on nicknames: those who want none at all (so they use a name with little to no nn options, such as these short monikers) and those who want a longer name with many options. I'm sure that idea is far more wide spread than just our community.
linelei Says:
Wow, a lot of my favorite names and name types are on this list, like god/goddess names, meaningful place names, quirky word names for middles, winter names, and Primrose. They're names I've loved since I was a teen or before, though, so I guess I'm just ahead of the trends! 😉
dayjoysky2815 Says:
I have definitely loved Etta for years. Surprised it is finally getting some attention. Like the previous poster, I believe I tend to be ahead of the trends.

Sigh. If only DH would read these posts, I think some of my more "out there" suggestions might be seen as right on trend.

Gah! I can't believe Persephone is getting popular. Grr….
catloverd Says:
A lot of these make sense with what I have been seeing, especially the lion one, there are a ton of Leo's now. And the quirky middle names, which I'm not a fan of. I'm glad my names aren't on the trend, although they might be when we finally have kids!

I forgot to mention...
Beth Kanter does a great job using Flickr photos on her blog, here:
I like flickrCC at http://flickrcc.bluemountains.net/
I've recently launched a new site for free photos,
Ookaboo: Free Pictures of Everything on Earth - http://ookaboo.com/
although it just started in July, Ookaboo has already gathered nearly 700,000 pictures of 380,000 different things.
Unlike some "free" photo sites, all pictures on Ookaboo are public domain or creative commons and can be used freely for both commercial and non-commercial uses -- so it's maximally useful to non-profit and other organizations.
Hi Paul--
This is really cool, thanks for sharing about Ookaboo. I was very interested that you all are using a semantic web API. Would love to hear more about you & your background to learn more about how this site came about.
Megan Keane
Follow me on Twitter: @penguinasana or connect with me on my website.
Quite good source of free photos is Open Image Bank (www.openimagebank.com). It is very simple, the images are available for any use - commercial and non commercial and there is no need to register.
To limit your search on Flickr.com to those photos that have Creative Commons status that allow for non-commercial (and sometimes commercial) use, you should first click on "Advanced Search" , then scroll down and click the box for Search Only Creative Commons.
I like two free photo websites:
Jeyjoo Images - www.jeyjoo.com/gallery - good for macro and travel shots - all images are free
RGB stock - www.rgbstock.com - more images but registration required!
My favorite source for free stock photos is this site www.kozzi.com. I've been using it for quite a long time now and I really like it. And downloading photos and images in this site is totally free. :)
"And downloading photos and images in this site is totally free. :)"
Not entirely... "Subscribe today and download up to 30 images per month for free or upgrade to a full monthly membership for $4.95USD per month." They also push an affiliate program.
Also, I'm not sure how the site uses the information of those that sign up in order to use the site for free - the privacy policy won't download for me.
Taking this in a new direction - why use stock photos at all? Nonprofits, NGOs, schools, libraries and other mission-based organizations work with volunteers, clients and others that would be happy to have their images used in promotional material!

Many descendants and survivors of the holocaust have listed their names with the Claims Conference [Conference on Jewish Material Claims against Germany, a private New York-based organization that works to secure restitution for survivors and their heirs] . However, not all knew about this or did not think it was relevant to them. A new twist on how people are being found, is from Israel-based social media genealogy company, MyHeritage. MyHeritage is using the Internet to help match property stolen by the Nazis to heirs of the victims. Behind the new push to use social media to help people to make restitution claims has been Gilad Japhet, CEO and founder My Heritage, A few months back, Japhet read a report about the Claims Conference's list of over 40,000 buildings, stores and factories that could not be matched with their original owners. Japhet matched some names on the list to the millions of names that users had posted on MyHeritage's family trees online. Japhet put together a team of five employees and had them write a computer program that automatically matches the names on the Claims Conference's list with those on the virtual family trees. So far, they have been able to match about 150 names on the list with names on the family trees.
Descendants can come forward to claim their family's assets until the end of 2014 if they find their original property on a recently released list by the Claims Conference, called the Late Applicants Fund. Due to the aging of holocaust survivors many have died and with them much of the information that might have been needed for descendants to make a claim. As the records become digitized they may find more families to make claims.
MyHeritage is doing this as a "mitzvah" and does not expect or desire any compensation for finding the people or any part of the restitution.

|A great sweet Chex Mix treat for Halloween.
Halloween Chex MixCan you believe that it's the end of October already? And... guess what? We finally got some cool temperatures y'all. I was so happy I made chicken and dumplings on Sunday! Gonna be a chilly Halloween this year and speaking of that, I decided I needed to make up a batch of Halloween Chex mix. You know, for the grandkids.
Now, y'all know I love me some Chex Mix, although I am most partial to the old original-original savory version myself. These days though, there must be thousands of ways to create a mix using Chex cereals - in fact, Chex has an entire website dedicated to them all!
This version is a variation of one of those and is perfect for our sweet indulgent Halloween festivities, although it can easily be adapted to suit other holidays too. It's certainly sweet, and everybody who eats it says the same thing - it's a little addictive!
Candy corn is typical in this mix, but there was nary a bag to be found at the store when I went, so I used some of Brach's Indian Corn mix instead. It's got a touch of cocoa to it and is very tender in comparison to regular candy corn. Not being a huge fan of candy corn, except in small bits like in a mix like this, I really liked this variety! I also used white almond bark candy coating, just because it's easy to work with but you can also use white chocolate chips or even a white chocolate baking bar if you like. Change the cereal and the add-ins to your liking.
Chex Mix is always great in a big bowl on any party table. To keep folks from hand dipping back and forth in the mix, be sure to add a couple of serving spoons to your bowl and some small candy cups. When spooned into bags, this also makes a great party favor too. Just put all the bags into a bowl, or a cauldron by the door, tie with a ribbon and add a cute party related tag if you like.
This is a great mix for Halloween and it takes no time to throw together. Here's how to make it.
Adapted from Chex
Recipe: Halloween Chex Mix©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 10 min | Yield: About 18 (1/2 cup) servings
- 4 cups of Rice Chex cereal
- 2 cups of bite-size pretzel twists, sticks, nibblers or balls
- 2 cups of salted peanuts, divided
- 1/2 cup of golden raisins
- 4 squares of white almond bark, coarsely chopped
- 1 cup plain M&Ms or Reese's Pieces
- 1 cup candy corn
- 1/4 cup mixed orange and black sprinkles
- 1 (6 ounce) package Crunch and Munch or Caramel Corn
Line a baking pan with aluminum foil or wax paper. Mix the cereal, pretzels, 1 cup of the peanuts and the raisins in an extra large bowl or pot; set aside. In a smaller bowl, microwave the almond bark according to package directions until melted and fluid. Pour over the cereal mixture and toss. Quickly add half each of the M&Ms or Reese's pieces, candy corn and sprinkles; toss. Add the remaining half of the M&Ms, candy corn and sprinkles. Add the crunch and munch and the rest of the peanuts; toss again.
Immediately spread out over the prepared baking sheet and let cool completely. Transfer to a large serving bowl or individual bags and tie with a decorative ribbon.

Welcome to Slice of Life Sunday –
a meme dedicated to preserving the accounts of events cut out of the lives of average people just like you from all over the word.
Wikipedia defines a slice of life story as "a category for a story that portrays a "cut-out" sequence of events in a character's life." It has also been defined as an "episode of actual experience represented realistically and with little alteration in a dramatic, fictional, or journalistic work." (cp. Answers.com).
Like having ice cream with your pie, there is more to this meme than meets the eye – it's a meme a` la mode! This meme has a larger goal in mind in addition to providing a venue for your desire to write. Please read About Me and this Meme to see how participating in Slice of Life Sunday could lead to further publishing of your writing. Then take a moment to read over the following options. Close your eyes and turn off your connections with the current world around you, and allow your thoughts to wander through the recesses of your memories. There you will find a life experience that you have been waiting to share or possibly need to revisit. Now write it. There is no need for fancy words, don't run and get the thesaurus, just write the truth… a slice of your life
Slice of Life choices for the week of November 30 are:
1. Winter Wonderland
2. The Big 4 – 0
3. Writer's Choice – I am now seeking stories for our Thirtysomething era. What memories do you have of "being a real adult" in the adult world of marriage, homemaking, raising children, expanding your career, or just surviving.
You have all week to write your Slice of Life story. Once you have posted your Slice of Life Sunday story on your blog, come back and leave a comment with the url to your post. My true desire is for each of us to harvest wisdom from both the joy of reliving the good memories in our lives and the strength gained from gleaning what we can from the not-so-good memories and then putting them away for good. If you see a previous prompt you would like to write about, please do so and let me know.
Wisdom is the daughter of experience. ~

Petraeus: CIA believed Benghazi was terrorism
Former CIA Director David Petraeus testified Friday that the CIA believes the Benghazi attacks were conducted by terrorists, not a spontaneous demonstration, according to lawmakers who provided accounts of the closed hearing before Congress.
Appearing on Capitol Hill for the first time since the scandal that ended his career at the intelligence agency, Petraeus tried to explain the discrepancy in Obama administration officials' initial public statements about the cause of the attacks.
Story Continued Below

"Now, he clearly believes that it did not arise out of a demonstration," said Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) "It was not spontaneous, and [there was] clear terrorist involvement."
Petraeus discussed early on his affair with Paula Broadwell, according to lawmakers. He said the controversy over what happened in Benghazi is a matter completely separate from the dalliance that caused him to resign. He also said he regretted the circumstances of his resignation, according to lawmakers.
"We made clear at the start that that would not be the focus of his questioning," said King. "I would say 10 seconds into it, that was off to the side."
( Also on POLITICO: No perfect choice to replace Petraeus)
King also said the original talking points put out by the CIA to explain the attack differed from the final version of the story.
"The original talking points were much more specific about Al Qaeda involvement," King said, later adding that Petraeus didn't know why the references to Al Qaeda were removed from the final version.
Rep. Jim Langevin (D-R.I.) said the confusion over terrorist attacks vs. demonstrations at Benghazi might be chalked up to the difference between classified and unclassified talking points.
"There may have been confusion with the unclassified talking points. … Perhaps there's greater clarity in the classified talking points," Langevin told reporters. "There were perhaps some subtleties that were used that may have been understood by some to mean one thing, where others may have had a different understanding of words — for example, 'extremist' versus 'terrorist.'"
Petraeus told lawmakers the CIA believed it to be a terrorist attack from the beginning, King said.
"I told him in my questions that I had a very different recollection of that," said King , the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee and a member of the Intelligence Committee. "The clear impression was given was that the overwhelming amount of evidence was that it rose out of a spontaneous demonstration and it was not a terrorist attack."
That account differed from that of Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-Md.), who said Petraeus "reinforced" the belief among CIA officials in the 24 hours after the attack that it was the result of the demonstration.
"He clarified that after more information came in, that it was not a protest," Ruppersberger told reporters.
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), another Intellligence Committee member who heard from Petraeus, backed up Ruppersberger's view of Petraeus's testimony.
"It was clear that initially that he thought that this was spontaneous, that extremist groups or indivduals may have capitalized on this situation to attack the temporary facility," Schiff said in a phone interview with POLITICO.

Why Patent Injunctions Are Even Worse For Open Source
from the yes,-hard-to-believe dept
The damage that software patents cause to innovation in the computer world is a constant theme here on Techdirt. But as a fascinating new paper by James Boyle explains, the threat to open source, particularly from patent injunctions, is even greater because of the special characteristics of that software development methodology:
If open source innovation has great social benefits in fostering competition and innovation, it also has particular vulnerabilities. First, precisely because open source development takes place in a network and allows both small and large players to participate by building on a common technology, it is particularly susceptible to attack and disruption. A proprietary monopolist fully internalizes both the costs and benefits of policing its technology and its intellectual property. Members of an open innovation network, however, do not. Individual members can be "picked off," forced to abandon promising lines of technological development, or to pay ruinous "stacked" royalties because the costs of litigation are too burdensome for any one member of the network to bear. It is in this context that the threat of injunctions is particularly worrisome. In fast-moving technology markets, the dead stop forced by an injunction can be enough to doom a product. An entire network of innovation could be shut down by an injunction obtained against a single small participant who lacks the resources necessary to challenge the patent or defend against the injunction.
Boyle explores these great points at length in his paper, which is well-worth reading. He also offers some suggestions for ways in which the threat of patent injunctions against open source can be reduced thanks to a ruling by the Supreme Court, eBay, Inc. v. MercExchange, L.L.C, and the four-part test it introduced:
Second, most of these markets are characterized by strongly cumulative innovation. A finished product may "read on" literally thousands of potential patents.
the Court held that permanent injunctions in patent law are governed by the same equitable four-part test as injunctions in other areas of law.
Boyle writes:
A plaintiff must demonstrate: (1) that it has suffered an irreparable injury; (2) that remedies available at law, such as monetary damages, are inadequate to compensate for that injury; (3) that, considering the balance of hardships between the plaintiff and defendant, a remedy in equity is warranted; and (4) that the public interest would not be disserved by a permanent injunction.
this Article argues the Supreme Court's test in eBay, properly understood, offers some constructive ways to respond to both the benefits of open source innovation and the threats posed to it by injunctions. In particular, the third and fourth factors -- the "balance of hardships" component and the "public interest" component -- are ideally suited to allow recognition of the unique vulnerabilities and the unique competitive and innovative value of open source production.
As open source becomes more widely deployed, so the potential damage that software patents can cause to it grows. Boyle's paper is a timely reminder that judges need to take into account the special nature of open source when considering whether to grant patent injunctions if society as a whole is to benefit, and not just the patent holders.

Makeup mistress Bobbi Brown opens her first flagship store in Australasia this weekend.
"It's hard work," says Bobbi Brown explaining that living and looking the way she wants at age 55 isn't always easy. For someone who became a multi-millionaire from selling lipsticks, it is refreshing to hear her candour. "I work really hard on my eating, my exercise, my hair colour, everything."
So there's no quick fix, even in Bobbi-land. Despite having penned seven books about making the most of makeup and turning herself into a virtual lifestyle guru, this petite powerhouse who has built herself into a global brand isn't trying to wave the magic wand. She does have a little mantra that goes "looking pretty makes a woman pretty powerful", but her real-ness isn't caked on.
There's something about her message and her natural-looking "you but better" cosmetics that have struck a chord with women worldwide.
But on a bad day she reluctantly drags herself out of bed like the rest of us and even if she doesn't like what she sees in the mirror first thing, she gets on with it.
"I go for a run, I have a juice, I drink water, I try to hydrate myself, you know, it's attitude change."
Though she doesn't have the recognition factor here that regular television appearances on the Today show give her in America, the commercial response is enough for Auckland to next week become the latest city in line for a Bobbi Brown flagship store. It is the first in Australasia.
The closest Brown has come to New Zealand is having had a Kiwi penpal when she was growing up in Chicago. "I don't know why I remember, but his name was Charles Bradford. In third grade we had to write letters all year. He sent me a Christmas present, he sent me a bottle of Jurgens [body] lotion, I guess he thought it was very American. That's all I know about New Zealand, but to this day I still remember Charles Bradford."
There's no gushing promise to visit (China calls first). "It's [New Zealand] on the list, I haven't been to Australia either," Brown tells me during a rapid-response interview in her company's industrial chic headquarters in downtown Manhattan. The airy open-plan Soho loft space is punctuated by distressed metal filing cabinets and populated by perky little PR girls. Her adjoining office has a softer touch with grey carpet and personal mementos grouped neatly across her desk and on shelves against an exposed brick wall.
It's New York Fashion Week, she's just announced Katie Holmes will be the brand's first celebrity face and she's tired.
At work backstage at the shows in preceding days, I'd watched Brown the makeup artist in action, but she also came across as Brown the soccer mom she is and the den mother she has become. Models seek her advice and she willingly gives it. "What do I do about dark circles," asks one? "Drink lots of water," says Brown, then, with a ring of beauty media in earshot, she adds "use my corrector and concealer".
She sets an impossibly leggy young Jamaican model, a first-timer to fashion week, at ease and then asks an angular porcelain-skinned Chinese model for her card. All the while she is working out how to match their makeup by custom blending colours in a palette. "The aim is to get all the models with the same lip colour even if we use different colours to get it."
She's warm and capable and dressed for comfort in a uniform of black separates made of silk and cotton. One day it's a sensible knee-length black skirt, another belted boy-leg jeans. She makes a colourful stand in turquoise Vans, but even on the day she dons canvas platform wedges, the towering company makes it hard to believe she reaches her declared height of 5ft. Her dark hair is drawn back in a swinging ponytail, her nails are unvarnished and her makeup minimal. She asks for opinions and jokes with staff while she scrutinises their work, asking for a tweak here and there.
One-on-one she's equally engaging and engaged, but unlike in her books where she has developed a touch of folksy new-age affirmation, in person she's no-nonsense direct.
She's one smart on-message cookie and therefore it is almost a relief when well into our amicable, but controlled, interview she lets down her guard, just a little. The first time it's a deserved touche when I ask a pro-forma question hoping to get a fresh answer in her own words. With time ticking on, she obliges, but observes that "everyone knows the story" of how she wanted to drop out of college but her mother insisted she find something she was passionate about studying and so began her career because "playing around with makeup" was what she most wanted to do.
The second time there is an off-message flicker is when we are talking about ageing and whether she feels any pressure to look a certain way. In the past she has talked about battling with her self-image as an awkward teenager and coming to terms as a young mother with being surrounded by stick-thin models. Now the challenge is about ageing. She admits to sometimes struggling with it, especially with a life half-lived in the public eye.
"That's the one thing I'm working on," she tells me after a brief pause, noticeable mainly because her other answers have been so quick and assured. "I'm either tougher on my appearance because I have photographs so much, so I either like it or I don't, and I'm working very hard on not taking it too serious."
The pressure, she says, is self-inflicted. "I don't feel pressure by the industry, I feel more pressure that I put on myself."
Do you feel you have to look a particular way? - "I don't have to, I want to," she fires back.
What do you want to look like? - "My best, I wanna look my best. There's times when I'm really really happy, my hair looks great and there's other times when I just don't feel my best."
What to you is your best? - "Usually when I just feel rested and good. More of a balance."
We'd talked earlier about what Brown reworded to "life-work balance". She reckons she has it in spades and with her close family, financial security and a job she has structured to suit herself it sure sounds like it. "I'm pretty clear about what I choose to do and not do and when I do it."
She spends Tuesdays and Thursdays in back-to-back meetings in Soho and uses the hour or more chauffeured car's journey from her home in the historic leafy town of Montclair, New Jersey, to catch up on emails or write in the backseat. Three days a week she works remotely, sometimes from home, but mostly from a nearby studio space. This means she has always been able to be a hands-on mother to her three sons. Duke, 14, is still at school, the older two are at college. Dakota, 20, is studying kinesiology - "he's on the golf team and want to be a coach to a pro-golfer" - and Dylan, 22, is majoring in economics and public policy.
The house remains very much a boys' zone, with the business allowing Brown to help two nephews through school. Before they came to stay she hosted exchange students.
Her attorney-turned-property developer husband Steven Plofker is very much the sounding board. "I don't do anything without his opinion. I really depend on him for solidity. When I'm kind of going like this," she says flapping her hands, "he brings me back down."
The couple got together some cash back in 1991 to launch her then ground-breaking range of 10 brown-based lipsticks. These took off and four years later they accepted a substantial undisclosed sum for the business from the Estee Lauder group which allowed her to remain its driving force. "I don't really need a title, my name is on the packet."
She describes her official job description of chief creative officer thus: "I see myself as an entrepreneur, entrepreneurs are creative, I think they're marketing, they're PR and they're also with the business.
"For me everything is about 'I think this will really sell' and "oh, that one bronzer does $2 million dollars a year why don't we just make another one, another colour'. Things like that. It's common sense."
To get the goodies she thinks will sell by the truckload involves staying hands-on with product development and promotion. That's where fashion week comes in. She has been doing it for 25 years, but says as well as keeping her hand in as an artist, it's a chance to experiment with formulas and talk to the press.
"It's really great to show the brand is of the moment and is on the frontline. We usually take what we are doing for fashion week and we make it a trend and then we teach women in store how to naturally put it on."
The brand's newest lipstick came out of a show for designer Rachel Roy last February. "We took a regular lipstick and I mixed it with some lip balm and then blotted it and that became our creamy matte lipstick."
The only hitch in the steady growth of the Bobbi Brown empire came in its early days under Lauder when it departed from promoting its "wearable" cosmetics in favour of more colourful ones. To better ensure the brand ethos thrived within a wider corporate structure a decision was made to move out of the main office and set up shop in Soho.
"We were in the GM building which is where all the other brands were and it was not our best time. We were not doing as well as we are doing now because it was a mixed message to who we were.
"You couldn't be on certain floors unless you had a suit and tie on, so I couldn't even have my employees wear jeans. Here it's much more creative, it's open, with a little more of an editorial feel."
It has been 10 years since the shift to Soho and Brown says the partnership with Lauder is a great fit, the parent company has not changed its mind about giving her autonomy "because it's always worked".
For the future she intends to keep up the balancing act of working hard, staying healthy and being with family. The 50s may be a bit of hard slog at times, but Brown is reconciling herself to all that brings and says staying fighting fit and looking good is a lifelong journey. "It's make it or break it."
"Every once in a while it gets thrown off, like this week [fashion week], other times are what I call recharging and you know my battery runs out and I get to spend the week with my family at the beach ... I'm about due for one."
Retirement or an autobiography any time soon is not on the cards. "I don't think so, it would not be that interesting. I'm very normal, simple. I think people should do that when they're in their 70s."
She says she is grateful for what she has and when I ask what she gets from what she does, she replies: "I'm part of helping [women] feel as good as they can feel and that's a great feeling."
* Bobbi Brown's new flagship store opens at Britomart on Saturday.

The "participation" that Erhard talks about is participation in relationships and participation in work that serves a vision or a context larger than your own personal survival. Your health and wellness are by-products of a life that is focused and ripe with meaning, full of generous engagement with others in the creation of a world that works for everybody.
This insight is not new. Wise women and men throughout the ages have demonstrated an elegant unconcern for their own problems (physical or circumstantial) combined with a diligent commitment to the wellbeing of others. Such an orientation results in an observable radiance, a tangible strength of character and profound wisdom, as well as a remarkable ability for compassion even in the direst situations. Think of Mother Teresa. Think of the current Dalai Lama. Think of someone whom you admire.
- Werner Erhard
People in Western industrialized nations have a great luxury of time and money to devote to personal health. But it may be beneficial to ask whether these populations are truly healthier and happier than other cultures as a result. Are we really well in body, mind, and spirit?
Obsession with health can be every bit as wasteful of your human potential as ignorance and carelessness can be. Focusing primarily on self-health may be endlessly fascinating, but it can also be tremendously isolating, exorbitantly expensive, and outrageously time consuming. Ultimately, overconcern for personal health keeps people imprisoned in a tiny cell, limiting the vast possibilities of creative expression and loving relationships that await them. The equation is really basic: in serving others, we serve ourselves. Or put another way: Creating a bigger vision and living in support of it, we put our personal concerns in perspective, and we are subsumed and fulfilled by a greater need, a greater possibility, a greater love.
Reaching Out
"People helping people" is a tried and true strategy for moving out of and beyond personal pain and suffering. You are not alone with whatever diseased condition you may be struggling with, even though it may often feel that way. People are typically ashamed of their weaknesses and vulnerability and fearful of more pain, all of which feeds their loneliness and isolation. Yet when someone opens a door by showing friendship or offering a hand of assistance, especially if they have walked the same path of pain or disease, that help can be tremendously beneficial, drawing you out of your closed world and inviting you into the larger world with others who share a common vulnerability.
Service to others in need can be a powerful remedy for your own pain or sense of alienation. There is relief in putting your own drama aside, for however long, in order to touch, with understanding, the life of another.

Can you spot the Code violations?
Find the Answer
Gregory Enos, E.I.T., an electrical designer at Fanning/Howey Associates, Inc. in Michigan City, Ind., identified the following violations from the May photo. "Conductors need to be spliced with splicing devices identified for the use; electrical tape doesn't cut it [110.14(B)].Lampholders need to be suitable for a wet location (110.3), and where lampholders have terminals of a type that puncture the insulation and make contact with the conductors, they shall be attached only to conductors of the stranded type (225.24). Conductors used for festoon lighting shall be rubber-covered or thermoplastic (225.4)."
Brett Davis, a second-year apprentice with Local 380 in Collegeville, Pa., also identified problems that violated the requirements of 225.4 (Conductor Covering) and 225.24 (Outdoor Lampholders). "The lamps should possibly have been caged for protection," he wrote.

Just less than a half hour into his speech in opposition to Obamacare on the Senate floor, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) compared his fight to defund it to the fight against Nazi Germany in the 1940s.
Cruz said that acceptance of Obamacare implementation is like 1930s appeasement of Nazi Germany.
He also compared his fight to standing up to the British during the Revolutionary War, and standing up to the Soviet Union during the space race.
"So, we get to Obamacare," Cruz said. "What do all those voices say? Can't be stopped. You can't win. Cannot defund it.
"By any measure, Obamacare is a far less intimidating foe than those that I have discussed, with the possible exception of the moon. The moon might be as intimidating as Obamacare."
