Denim is by far the most worn textile on the planet. According to the anthropologists Daniel Miller and Sophie Woodward, in their book, Global Denim, "On any given day, nearly half the world's population is in jeans." It's almost impossible to tackle all the meanings of such a popular fabric. So allow me to focus on it's companion, it's piggy-backer, the oxpecker bird riding its zebra: the chambray shirt.
Chambray looks like denim, and is often marketed as denim, but it's not. Both fabrics have traditionally been dyed with indigo, but they differ in their weaves. Denim stitching is a twill weave, which runs at a diagonal, while chambray has a plain weave, which is vertical. Denim is thicker and tends to be for pants, chambray is breathable and tends to be used for shirts.
"For outdoor work in mild weather," The US Farmer's Bulletin of 1831 recommended, "choose a material such as chambray, which is durable, firm enough to prevent sunburn, yet lightweight enough to admit air and be fairly cool." Comfy, washable, and sturdy; chambray was the fabric of the working man. This became more or less official when an Iowa newspaper stated, in 1924: "If we may call professions and office positions white collar jobs, we may call the trades blue collar jobs." Thus the blue collar distinction was born.
The blue collars weren't just for farmers and factory workers—blue was also the color of the Navy. Before WWII, Navy-enlisted personnel were issued work clothes, in addition to the wool sailor suits they'd wear ashore. These work outfits consisted of a chambray shirtand denim pants, which flared out a bit, so they could be easily rolled all the way up to the thigh for deck-swabbing.
If you look at pictures ofpre-WWII sailors, I swear to you, they almost look like a bunch of tech guys you'd see having a lunchtime meeting at a coffee shop. They're in jeans and button up chambray shirts. The only real differences are the sailor hats perched on their heads, and the dated pant leg.
It's wild to think that this standard look, chambray on denim, was once a very specific outfit, for a specific branch of the armed forces. Imagine if you traveled to a not-too-distant future where everyone was commuting to their desk jobs dressed in complete "digital desert" Army fatigues.
In the back of our minds, we all kind of know this history. We know that a blue chambray shirt is supposed to be workwear. When you put on a chambray shirt, you roll up the sleeve to your elbows. You just do. Even if you bought the shirt for $80 at J.Crew.
Work clothes, like chambray, denim, beanies, and Blundstone boots, have cycled into high fashion. Decades-old workwear brands have come out with "work-inspired" clothing lines, like Carhartt's Work in Progress collection, described as "original workwear cuts reinterpreted and refitted for the demands of an active life in the urban environment." In 2015, Dickies put out a collection called Dickies Construct, which combined their traditional overalls witha "contemporary, fashion approach." It's laughably bougie, but I am not in the business of lampooning millennials. Hippies were also lusting after a sense of authenticity when they went to Army-Navy surplus stores and bought those wide, deck-swabbing sailor pants, and turned bell bottoms into a trend.
Throughout the 20th century, workwear denim brands like Lee's and Levi's have opted to ride waves of trends: they've become flared, skinny, saggy, dark, stiff, stretchy, pre-worn, pre-ripped, and acid washed and back again. Jeans have always changed to fit some idea of authenticity or rebellion.
The chambray shirt, however, has not. The collars may stiffen or loosen, or become slightly pointed, but the design of the chambray shirt, with its white stitching and rolled-up sleeves, remains almost identical to what you would have seen on farmer in the 1800s, a factory worker in the forties, or a sailor in the thirties. In an era where our farms, our wars, and our factory labor have all been rendered invisible, the chambray shirt has become a connective thread to a lost and nebulous past. It is an unopened time capsule we unknowingly carry on our backs.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu welcomed Singapore's Minister of Trade and Industry S. Iswaran at the 3rd Joint Implementation Steering Committee (JISC) meeting being held at the Taj Gateway Hotel here on Thursday.
The Andhra Pradesh Capital Region Development Authority (APCRDA) and Singapore-Amaravati Investments Holding Ltd (SAIH) signed a Concession and Development Agreement (CADA) to develop the start-up area in Amaravati.
"After substantial progress since November, this is the last step towards starting the grounding of the project", said Principal Secretary (Energy, Infrastructure and Investments) Ajay Jain.
The JISC meeting was followed by a one-on-one interaction where both leaders decided that direct flights between Singapore and Vijayawada would commence in a month's time and talked about the need for teamwork between the Consortium and the state government.
"The first flight from Singapore should land in Vijayawada on June 8th", said Chief Minister Naidu. Talking about the required assistance from the Consortium to bring in the convergence of activities in infrastructure, tourism, education and the service sector, he said, "Catalytic development should be our medium to bring in more investments and economic activities. Creating an ecosystem to encourage entrepreneurship is important for ensuring sustainability."
A World Cities Summit will be hosted in Singapore from 8 to 10 July, where the chief minister will be speaking at the Mayors Forum (8th July) and the Plenary Opening Session (9th July). The CRDA Commissioner will also participate on July 10 on the thematic track on governance. There will be a booth allotted to showcase the development and planning of Amaravati.
Finance Minister Yanamala Ramakrishnudu, MA& UD Minister P. Narayana, Special Chief Secretary (Finance) M. Ravichandra, Principal Secretary (E, I&I) Ajay Jain, Tourism Secretary Mukesh Kumar Meena, RTG CEO Ahmed Babu, APEDB CEO Jasthi Krishna Kishore, CRDA Commissioner Sreedhar Cherukrui and ADC Chairperson Lakshmi Parthasarathy represented the AP government in the JISC meeting.

Geek Trivia
The Best Selling DVD Of All Time Is?
Answer: Finding Nemo
The recipe for DVD sales success is definitely one part fish, one part animation, and a healthy dose of humor topped off with an emotional plot of loss and reunited family, if the box office records and DVD sales of 2003's computer animated success Finding Nemo are any indicator.
Between the film's release on DVD and 2006 alone, consumers snatched up a staggering 40 million copies of Finding Nemo. The intervening decade has done little to cool children's love of the film, as many parents can attest to, and it remains a strong seller in both DVD and Blu-ray formats.
Despite the release of other popular and briskly selling titles (Frozen sold 3.2 million DVDs and Blu-rays on its release day) the combination of other formats such as Blu-ray and digital downloads combined with overall decreasing DVD sales will likely ensure that Finding Nemo remains the best selling DVD of all time.

A River Watched Closely by Jon Boilard
A River Watched Closely by Jon Boilard
When seventeen-year-old Bobby Dubois's father is arrested, it looks like Bobby is headed into the system, too—that is, until Uncle Thaddeus rescues him. They take to the back woods, managing to stay one step ahead of the law. Thaddeus teaches bobby how to drink, fight, and fornicate—how to be a right Dubois.
But when hurricane rains ravage Franklin County and swell the Swift River, Thaddeus and Bobby are flushed from the hills and the dark Dubois legacy of violence catches up with them. Sown through with bristling language, this intense first novel was a finalist for the Northern California Book Award and established Jon Boilard as heir to James Elroy and Elmore Leonard.

OREGON, Wisc. – Fresh off their season-best finish this past Friday afternoon at Michigan International Speedway, sophomore ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards driver Gus Dean (@GusDean) and his Win-Tron Racing team return to short track racing looking for a win in Friday night's Herr's Potato Chips 200 at Madison (Wisc.) International Speedway.
Riding the confidence aboard his No. 32 GREE Cooling Products | Baker Distributing Chevrolet and gelling with new crew chief Jamie Jones, the Bluffton, S.C. native hopes his return to Madison has a silver lining.
"After a tough start to the season, we're feeling pretty good right now," said Dean who sits sixth in the championship standings after eight races. "We've showcased over the last two races that we've had a fast-enough No. 32 GREE Cooling Products | Baker Distributing Chevrolet capable of winning and I hope we're able to continue that trend Friday night at Madison.
An accomplished short track racer from the south, Dean hopes he's able to better his performance from last year at the 0.5-mile paved oval where he finished ninth after starting seventh.
"Madison is one of those race tracks where we just missed it a little bit last year," said Dean. "Jamie and I have discussed what we need to do to be better with our car this weekend and I believe that we will be. It's 200 laps short-track style – so we just have to be around for the finish and earn another good result."
With every position putting crucial points on the board, Dean says he knows his Win-Tron Racing team is on the verge of winning. And with a little luck in Madison, the 23-year-old could tally his second career ARCA Racing Series victory.
"Right now, it's all about the wins," said Dean. "With our bad luck at the start of the season, we've been playing catchup. The last two weekends we were able to earn some strong finishes and reap the benefits of the points that come along with that. It's a tight field though right now. There's a lot of strong cars.
"We just need to find our own rhythm and continue to believe that we've turned the corner and look out the windshield and hope the rest of the dominoes will fall in place. A win is around the corner, I really believe that."
For the fourth short track race of the year, the Win-Tron Racing will roll out chassis number 717 which last saw competition at Toledo Speedway. Nearly a month ago, Dean's GREE Racing Chevrolet was headed towards the front when he was a collected in an accident battling for fifth.
The team has been diligently repairing the car and has it ready to return to battle.
"This is a really good car," sounded Dean. "I was just riding at Toledo when two cars got together, and I had nowhere to go. The car had some pretty good damage, but Jamie and Kevin wanted to get it fixed quickly because it was a fast race car. Excited to have this chassis back."
Win-Tron Racing car owner Kevin Cywinski says the team's fourth-place run at Michigan was a huge boost but says it's important for his Mooresville, N.C.-based team to show the speed and finesse on the short tracks as well.
"The vibe has been great around the shop this week," added Cywinski. "The guys are pumped up and Gus is focused as ever. He's working out and constantly communicating with Jamie with ideas about how to make us even better at the race track.
"Hopefully, we can go to Madison this weekend and keep putting ourselves near the front knowing that sooner than later, it's (hopefully) going to be our turn in Victory Lane."
In 35 career ARCA Racing Series starts, Dean captured his first career victory in his second ever start at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway after starting a career-best second in Apr. 2016. Overall, Dean has nine top-five and 20 top-10 finishes.
The Herr's Potato Chip 200 (200 laps | 100 miles) is the ninth of 20 races on the 2018 ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards schedule. Practice begins Fri., June 15 with an hour and forty-five-minute session planned from 1:15 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. General Tire pole qualifying is set for later in the day at 5:00 p.m. The race is set to take the green flag later in the day shortly after 8:00 p.m. The event will be broadcasted live on MAVTV, whileARCARacing.com will stream live timing and scoring throughout the week's activities. All times are local (CT).

Identity (2003)
On a dark, stormy night, ten very different people end up stuck at a motel in the middle of nowhere, trapped by the heavy rain and flooded roads. But when they start being murdered one by one, they have to figure out which of them is the killer. And is it just a coincidence they all ended up at the same place?
Identity plays out like a classic Agatha Christie-style whodunnit, but with a modern twist to the story. It certainly shares many elements with And Then There Were None (aka Ten Little Indians). It's even alluded to in the script, when someone mentions "that movie" where ten strangers are on an island. There are surprise revelations, unexpected connections, and a few red herrings chucked in for good measure. The aim is to keep the audience guessing, and I certainly changed my mind several times about who I thought was the murderer. When the big twist arrives in the third act, I didn't see it coming, though the clues were there all along.
The production design is impressive. Apparently most of the film was shot on a sound stage, though you wouldn't guess it. The photography makes interesting use of colour and the constantly pouring rain. The acting is great, with the performances adding credibility to the clues and the misdirection. All the characters have secrets and interesting back stories too.
There is surprisingly little violence actually shown. Mostly we see events just before and just after the attacks take place. However there is still enough tense atmosphere and unpleasantness to consider this a horror movie, even if it is more about the mystery than the gore.
I didn't expect this to stand up so well for a second viewing after already knowing the major twist. But I still enjoyed it, spotting all the clues I had missed the first time round. Identity is a clever and entertaining film, and it's a lot of fun trying to figure out the puzzle as the story unfolds.

Only in China could a stunning world-famous architectural monument be shamelessly imitated, only to be given the undignified title of "the coolest toilet".
That's exactly what happened in Chongqing, according to photos recently published by Tencent News.
Supposedly built in the style of fairytale castles of medieval Europe, we couldn't help but think the latrine's design may have taken cues from Antoni Gaudi's world-renowned Park Güell in Barcelona.
The real Park Güell is pictured above and below (in case the absence of noxious pollution didn't give it away).
The word gaudy has never seemed more appropriate, and is a term we often attach to the many blatant rip-offs of foreign icons which routinely appear across China. Just last month, the Great Pyramid of Chuzhou rose from the sands of Anhui to sit alongside a giant knock-off sphinx.
No doubt the great Spanish architect would be spinning in his grave had he any idea his masterpiece was the inspiration for a grandiose Chinese house of defecation.
But what the Chinese counterfeit version lacks in grace and ceremony, it makes up for in splendour, as the facility boasts the capacity to accommodate 2,000 patrons at once (imagine the smell). At the very least, is by no means as tasteless as this excrement-themed Shanxi restaurant and seems a lot more welcoming than this luxury toilet in Anhui built to look like the US Capitol Building.
In other amusing toilet-related news around China, a man was injured at an Anhui airport when the toilet he was using collapsed due to "erroneous posture" (apparently you're not meant to squat atop the toilet seat?) At least he was spared the misfortunate of the exploding toilet.

All You Need to Know for ANZAC Day 2018
ANZAC Day – dawn services, morning marches, lunchtime two-up and arvo footy.
The 25th of April, the national day to commemorate all Australian and New Zealand service men and women past and present, is just around the corner. It's the time to pay our respects as well as enjoy some cheeky Aussie pastimes. From the dawn services to the city march, two-up and afternoon footy, this is what you need to know about ANZAC Day if you're in Sydney or Bondi.
Dawn service
Rub the eyes, pin a sprig of rosemary to your lapel and start your day by paying respects at one of the many dawn services around town.
Sydney CBD – One of Sydney's most prestigious dawn services is held at Martin Place, which begins at 4.30am and is attended by thousands.
Bondi – If you're beachside, the North Bondi RSL is the place to be. Just metres from the sand, last year's ceremony attracted over 20,000 people.
ANZAC Day March
Join the sea of wavers, young and old, paying tribute to thousands of veterans and their descendants, as well as current service men and women as they proudly march through the city.
In 2018, for the first time in the ANZAC Day March's 102-year history, Australia's servicewomen will be leading the procession.
Start: 9am – Martin Place and Elizabeth Street
Finish: 12.30pm – ANZAC Memorial in Hyde Park
The ANZAC spirit is one of resilience, mateship and larrikinism. The latter being evident in how popular the usually illegal gambling game of two-up was with Australia's soldiers during World War I. The authorities turned a blind eye to it then, and for one day a year, they turn a blind eye to it now. And it's a good thing they do because Aussies still love the flippin' game.
Just about every pub in town plays two-up on ANZAC Day, but there are a few standout pubs that get the vibe just right.
Two-up in Sydney – The Australian Heritage Hotel, The Dolphin, Glenmore Hotel, The Woollahra Hotel, Courthouse Hotel, Royal Hotel, Watson's Bay Hotel, The Argyle.
Two-up in Bondi – Bondi Beach Public Bar, The Bucket List, Beach Road Hotel, North Bondi RSL.
Anzac Day Cup
If you want to really squeeze the most out of your ANZAC Day, the ANZAC Day Cup could be for you. The fiery rugby league match between the Sydney Roosters and the St George Illawarra Dragons was introduced in 2002 to honour the ANZACs and makes for a great escape from two-up if the piggy bank is getting thin.
When: 4.10pm at Allianz Stadium

What a Top Science Funder is Learning From Its Deep Dive Into a Risky Area/
In recent decades, new advances have signaled a lot of promise in the study of so-called quantum materials, which yield unusual phenomena like superconductivity, and could lead to exciting new discoveries in physics and applications like energy transmission.
But around 2007, a National Academy of Sciences panel found that there wasn't enough flexible funding in the U.S. research landscape, threatening to stunt progress in the unpredictable area of study.
That concern led the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation to make basic scientific research of quantum materials a funding priority, dedicating in 2013 an initial $90 million to build the field. Now, the foundation is renewing its support with the second phase of its EPiQS initiative, adding on another six years and $95 million in support.
Private science funders frequently cite a certain tolerance for risk as their key contribution to the ecosystem of research funding, either by offering larger, longer-term, or more flexible chunks of money than other sources commonly offer. But it's not always clear just how risky and innovative their approaches are, or whether they are paying off.
After all, how do you gauge if a program is successful, when its whole point is being comfortable with the unpredictable and long-term process of basic scientific research?
Before the Moore Foundation re-upped its EPiQS initiative, it conducted a couple of in-depth evaluations to tackle these questions. Both available on their website, they reveal some interesting insights into how private research funders embrace and mitigate their risk, and how they work to differentiate themselves from larger, public funding sources.
It's too early to answer the question of whether the initiative met its goal to "catalyze transformative change," a tough outcome to define that could take many years to emerge. But an external evaluation of the program by RTI International did note progress, including a steady growth in journal articles acknowledging the program (from 72 in 2015 to 247 in 2017). Individual research results also made a splash within the community, and new techniques and instruments are being developed. They found, overall, that the funding helped to gel a distinct field, and build the pool of up-and-coming talent working in it.
The evaluation also took stock of how the program is designed, and whether that's making a unique impact on the field.
One strategy in particular that evaluators looked at was one embraced by other major private funders—as HHMI defines it, funding "people, not projects." While most federal research grants are made based on a particular project, and secondarily on the applicant, in this case, Moore emphasized the potential of the investigator with the idea that they want to empower them to chase bold ideas and go where their work leads them.
The application process itself was very different from other funding programs, restricting proposal length and disallowing figures or references. Evaluators found that this yielded a unique pool of proposals from other existing funding channels.
Also, while the federal government distributes more funding overall than EPiQS, agencies give smaller amounts to a much larger number of awardees, and for a shorter grant periods. Moore also encouraged grantees to venture out of their comfort zones, into unfamiliar science where the outcome is uncertain but could be significant.
This is a strategy we see among private science funders that allows them to provide more leeway for researchers to take risks. But to hedge the risk they take in terms of subject matter and amounts of support, they also fund fewer actual scientists who must clear a high bar for entry.
Evaluators noted that expanding the pool of grantees could offer benefits, but cautioned that it would increase risk, and warned against decreasing individual grant size. One piece of criticism identified in the report was that, by funding a small number of investigators, the initiative could be seen as too exclusive.
Other findings from evaluators include:
The program placed a big emphasis on funding postdocs, which built up the pipeline of researchers studying quantum materials. Almost all former postdocs funded have found employment at research institutes.
EPiQS funding allowed individual grantees to leverage funds for greater support from other sources like federal agencies. However, while agencies have named quantum materials as a priority, there's been limited new money to back it.
The foundation should stick with supporting individual researchers rather than forming a research center. This provides more flexibility and reduces administrative burden.
A big benefit of EPiQS has been the collaborative aspect, with annual symposia and sponsorship of other conferences helping the field take shape and forging connections.
The analysis of Moore's initiative provides a unique look at a basic science funder carving out its role in a field and grappling with whether that role is the right one as the years pass.
One of the most interesting aspects here is that, as a private funder, it's working to strike a different chord than broader, larger federal funding sources. But it's also well aware of the importance of complementing and leveraging these funding sources that go well beyond its own limited scope.
This underscores just how important it is for private funders to see themselves as unique, but complementary players in a much larger ecosystem of research dollars.

That's right, only one class in December since it's a short month.
Here's what you need to know:
7:00-7:15 - Registration& Warmup
7:15-8:30 - Tranky Doo with Tory and Keito
If you're ready to level up your solo dancing, this class will get you into some more intermediate jazz moves so you'll be ready to conquer the Tranky Doo, a fun piece of choreography from the 40s still performed today.
It's on the tricky side, so some experience in choreography (ie. Shim Sham) is helpful, though not required. Since these classes will run a little longer in length, if we get through with time to spare, we'll tack on the Swing & Soul line dance in week 3 — all are welcome to join in for that one.
No drop-ins if you miss the first week, unless you have already learned this choreography and are refreshing.
$20 for 3 class series (20% series discount with valid student or military ID) $8 drop in
Remember: No street shoes on the dance floor! Bring a water bottle, as the only water source is the bathroom sink. It's likely to get a little warm once you get moving -- bring a change of shirt or towel if you think you'll need it!

Testimonials Page
"I recently took Jill's meditation class, and I highly recommend the experience. I've attended other meditation education, and nothing ever "stuck" for me. I found it too frustrating and/or uncomfortable. The Vedic method is easy and accessible to all. Even though I've only been meditating for a week, I've already begun seeing positive influences of the practice. I have more patience with my son (more adaptive energy) and my health has improved." -B.H., Photographer, Atlanta, GA

A few things I've learned/felt in the past 2 wks: 1. I always look forward to the next one because I feel SO good for the rest of the day... and I think others have noticed a change because of this. 2. This will sound corny, but I used to feel and notice every move/every step during the day. Up and down, sometimes laborious and painful. But now, I generally feel like I'm hovering through the day and don't feel the grind at all." -C.N., Pharmacist, Atlanta, GA
"Jill was the perfect meditation teacher for me with my skeptical nature. She struck just the right balance of scientific insights and a sense of an element of mystery or "unknowableness" at the base of meditation – and a sense of humor. The combination inspired skeptical me to trust the process. Jill's analogies and explanations of the role of thoughts in mediation were especially helpful. As a bonus, she has a lovely voice for singing during the short ceremony at the first session. I feel fortunate to have found Jill's website and now having taken the course, to be able to tap her wisdom as my teacher in years ahead." -S.L., Diplomat, Minneapolis, MN (and Nepal)
"Dr. Jill Wener did a phenomenal job of teaching me to how to meditate in an effortless manner. As a busy physician, meditation has significantly reduced my stress level, and allowed me to become more focused on prioritizing the aspects of my career that I enjoy the most. Meditation has definitely become one of the highlights of my day and has been a life-changing experience."
-M.H., Gastroenterologist, Atlanta, GA
"Learning, and now doing, Conscious Health (Vedic) Meditation has been a meaningful addition to my life so far. It is surprisingly simple and impactful. The time spent meditating is rejuvenating, and in my experience it is having a lasting affect on my thought process and approach in my day to day." D.A., Chicago, IL
"Vedic meditation has helped me get better sleep. Before I started, it was extremely rare for me to get a full night's sleep without taking a sleep aid. I'd fall asleep just fine, but then wake up at 2 or 3 in the morning and my brain would just start racing - replaying events from the past, thinking about what could have been done differently, or playing out things that were coming up, getting ready for them. I still wake up pretty frequently, but the "stare at the ceiling for 2 hours with my mind jumping all over the place" has greatly decreased. Vedic doesn't magically make major structural changes to your life. But based on my experience with sleep, it seems to make stressors easier to cope with." M.E., Software Sales, Minneapolis, MN
"Thank you again for teaching me. I'm excited to be on this journey and that I met you. You are so calm and loving."
L.P., Mortgage Broker, Minneapolis, MN
"I took Jill's course in Chicago in January 2017. Prior to that, I'd been a casual meditator--practicing regularly but with little discipline or structure. Conscious Health (Vedic) meditation was an ideal solution, and Jill does a flawless job of teaching it. She gives her students the help they need (during her four-day course and anytime they need it afterwards!) forming the right habits and strong technique. I'd recommend her course, and Vedic meditation, for anyone looking to manage stress and be more focused and productive in their professional and personal lives." -J.C., Marketing, Chicago, IL
"An amazing experience. Most surprising was how easy it was to do! Meditation used to feel forced and uncomfortable. Now I just start and my mind and body just take over, like it knows what to do. Incredibly grateful for Jill introducing and guiding me through this life changing meditation practice." -E.M., Nurse Practitioner, Chicago, IL
"I took Jill's class about 6 months ago, and my appreciation for her and the art of Vedic meditation has only increased as time has gone by. Jill is an inspiring teacher and incredibly passionate about what she does. She is patient, calm, open to any and all questions, and provides amazing followup after the class- touching base with her students multiple times after the course has ended to see how their practice is progressing and always willing to help in any way possible, including impromptu telephone troubleshooting sessions. In addition, once you complete her class, you are always able to meditate with her in another class for free to fine tune your skills- the relationship is that of a lifetime guru. In addition, I really do see the effects of my meditation practice in my day to day life. I'm much less anxious, and don't feel as tired/stressed out all the time. All in all, spending a few days with Jill taking her intro to Conscious Health (Vedic) Meditation course in Chicago was one of the best decisions I've ever made and I highly recommend her and the course." N.D., Physician, Chicago, IL
"Jill taught me to meditate over a year ago and since then I have been to 2 of her refresher courses which are free to existing students (woo hoo!). She is so passionate about meditation and her energy is contagious! She's an excellent teacher and has an easy-going style that makes learning fun. I meditate on the train to and from work and the results have been pretty dramatic. My anxiety and stress levels have decreased so much. I am more patient with my kids and don't get rattled by things going wrong like I used to. I was even told by my boss that I am "very even-keeled." Jill is always available for questions and sends nice emails periodically to check in on me." -A.N., User Experience Specialist, Chicago, IL
"Several weeks ago I attended one of Jill's Conscious Health Meditation classes in Atlanta. Since then I have practiced meditating at least once a day, more often twice. Though it's sometimes hard to carve out the time, once I sit down I'm so happy! It is slowly becoming more habitual and is simple to do and so refreshing, relaxing and re-setting, I look forward to the time set aside just for me. I can already feel myself reacting more calmly and with a little more distance to challenging or stressful situations. Jill is a skilled, inspiring teacher whose integrity and passion for Conscious Health (Vedic) Meditation is positively infectious. She is focused, attentive and non-judgmental, but also lots of fun. Now that I have learned the technique, Jill checks in periodically by email to see how the practice is going. She has encouraged me to contact her any time in the future for questions and to come to any Conscious Health Meditation class offered to refresh or reboot my practice." -L.L., Hospice Coordinator, Atlanta, GA
"Jill is an excellent teacher of Conscious Health Meditation. She is clear, relatable and accessible. Her knowledge of meditation, combined with her knowledge of science and all things medical provide a very comprehensive view of how Conscious Health Meditation works and why it is helpful. She teaches the skill of Conscious Health Meditation in a way that all can understand and is very thoughtful and open to questions and comments. She is also available at any time after completion of the class, and encourages questions as well as invites past students back for refresher classes for free when she is in the area. She checks in to see how the practice is going for each individual students and also has a Facebook group as a forum to share. I teach other types of meditation and absolutely recommend Jill and her class to anyone as in invitation to be present to life, to tap into calm and de-stressing!" -J.C., Meditation Teacher, Deerfield, IL
"Jill, Your passion for practical meditation was evident. The informal but thorough teaching approach worked well for me." -B.A., Business Executive, Chicago, IL

Getting ready for the Warbirds/
In about two weeks, Wings Over Wiscasset 2.0 will attract thousands of people to its two days of air shows featuring WW II Warbirds and the Texas Flying Legends, antique autos, a big band swing dance, tributes to veterans, and more.
In preparation, I went out to the Wiscasset Airport to remind myself of where I might position to get the best photos of the events.
Since I don't carry a lot of equipment when I shoot, I wasn't sure whether my 18-200mm lens could do the job. But then I reviewed my images from last year's show and noticed that I did most of my shots with my then-new 18-70mm.
Surprise, surprise! The 70mm was enough for me to get some detail as planes flew over. Going up to 200mm will be a big leap closer, just fine to catch planes in the air. I also found that shooting at 1/1250th of second is enough to stop propellers, and, like when shooting snow scenes, I should open up a stop or two to prevent the sky from overpowering the planes.

We want to help you catch bad guys.
If the matter is in regards to non-consensual activity or to do with a minor, you do not need a subpoena/warrant/court order etc. Simply send a request from your law enforcement email to email@example.com and we will respond with what information we can provide. Please include the exact link to the ad in question.
The owner's personal philosophy in this matter is that people who traffic or prey on other people (let alone minors) should be shot, and we are happy to help law enforcement in any way we can in these cases.
Please include a link to the ad or ads in question. This will allow us to find the information and get back to you much, much faster. A link will look something like http://lexington.skipthegames.com/female-escorts/caucasian_w/petite-busty-25-yr-old-dayton/5172697171234. If you cannot enter long addresses like this in your form, you may instead include the ad ID. In the example link above, the ad ID would be 5172697171234 - that is, the numbers after the last slash, /.
If the only trace you have is a phone number, we will try to help you, but note that people change and erase their phone numbers. They also don't always put them in their user profiles, and they type it in a mix of words and numbers to make it harder to search for.
We try to respond to all law enforcement inquiries within 36 hours. If you don't hear from us within 72 hours, please please email again, as there may have been a human or anti-spam algorithm error.
We are frequently asked for a legal division and/or a physical address to send subpoenas to. These requests seem to be particular to American law enforcement protocols. We do not have a physical address nor any systems inside the United States, nor at this time is it our procedure to travel to the United States to testify in any court proceedings. However, we are more than happy, if it is necessary for your case, to sign a "Certificate of Authenticity of Business Records" for you.
IMPORTANT: You must email us from the same email that you have signed up to your account with. If you write to us from a different email, we will not know who you are.
If you make too many posts, our site thinks that you are a spammer and goes into the self-defense mode. If you are posting for different people, you may write an email to firstname.lastname@example.com with the subject "Request to Post for Multiple People". Please explain how many people you are posting for, your relationship to them, and the region you want to be posting to.
If you are just posting for yourself, please wait for 12 hours - the restriction will be lifted automatically.
Note: If you open up a duplicate account in an attempt to walk around the restriction, both accounts will be removed.
Please refer to our FAQ at http://skipthegames.com/articles/about-escorts/skipthegames-com-faq. To recap, you don't need us for this. Simply log into your account and update any of these by clicking on the "Your details" link on the main menu or going directly there, if you are logged in: https://skipthegames.com/account/your_details. On a mobile device, once you're there, you might need to swipe to the right in order to see all post management options.
Please refer to our FAQ at http://skipthegames.com/articles/about-escorts/skipthegames-com-faq. To recap, you don't need us for this. Simply log into your account and click on "Delete / View Ads" on the left hand menu or go directly there, if you are logged in: https://skipthegames.com/account/posted_ads and check boxes in the rightmost column. On a mobile device, once you're there, you might need to swipe to the right in order to see all post management options.
Our system or a staff member believe that you may be a spammer or you may have violated our terms of service.
Please understand that fighting against spam and scammers is a constant battle. As we deactivate huge numbers of bad accounts, occasionally we may deactivate a real person's account, too. We apologize for that.
To re-activate your account, you will need to verify your identity. Please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com, with subject "Verify Me" and attach a clear photo of yourself, showing your face so that we can match it to the photos in your ads, holding up a piece of paper with your email address handwritten on the paper and your hand holding the photo visible in the attached picture.
If you've waited more than 15 minutes and you still can't see the post, it is possible that our system has identified you as a likely spammer. You will need to verify your identify, please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com, with subject "Verify Me" and attach a clear photo of yourself, showing your face so that we can match it to the photos in your ad, holding up a piece of paper with your email address handwritten on the paper.
If someone is posting photos of you in an ad not created or authorized by you, that is against our terms of service. We need two things from you to delete those ads:
If this is your phone number on the ad that you did not post, you may have it taken down by verifying your number with us. You can do this by sending us a screenshot (in the case of digital billing or a prepaid phone) of your phone statement or the "Your account" section of your phone that shows your phone number, or a photo of your phone bill. Feel free to cross / blur out all personal identifying information other than your name.
If the pictures are yours, but the phone number isn't, we need to verify your image. Please send us a clear photo of yourself, showing your face, holding up a piece of paper, with your email address handwritten on it. The photo of you should look like the photos in the ad you wish to have taken down. (To clarify, no nudity is necessary, only a match to the face.)
We ask this because in many cases we have people trying to fraudulently take down other people's ads.
It would also greatly help us if you could provide us with a link to the ad(s) in question. If the number is located in the text of an ad, it may be very hard for us to locate without help as people type phone numbers in their ads in different formats.
Please send us a link such as, for example, http://lexington.skipthegames.com/female-escorts/caucasian_w/petite-busty-25-yr-old-dayton/5172697171234. If you are getting texts about an ad that is not yours, please try asking them where exactly they found it on our site.
Send this in an email to firstname.lastname@example.com
Please note: if you neither posted your information, nor agreed to having your information posted on our site, we want to remove your information from our site as much as you.
The best thing you can do in this case is contact your local law enforcement, and provide the link to the ad in question to them. Tell them that we respond to all law enforcement inquiries regarding this type of behavior and we do not require a court order to do so, and have them email firstname.lastname@example.com with the link to the ad.
This is the best way to stop this type of criminal activity. All we can do is take down an ad, which doesn't stop it. Our preference is to help law enforcement put this type of pond wretch in jail.
We are very sorry to hear about this, but we do not control who posts on our site. Unfortunately, for every case of robbery, there are cases of providers or jealous people trying to falsely take down other people's posts, and we have no way to differentiate between these two type of situations.
If the robbery was serious (armed or violent), we recommend going to your local law enforcement and we will cooperate with them in this case. Please provide them with a link to the ad in question and have them email email@example.com with the ad link and we will provide law enforcement with what information we can.
Please email firstname.lastname@example.com
We read all messages and do our best to respond within 24 hours.
Thank you for using Skipthegames.com

2011 Person of the Year
May 03, 2011 11:04AM
● By Style
Photos by Dante Fontana
Philanthropists, activists, heroes, survivors and downright good people – these are the folks in our community who we unknowingly cross paths with daily, but this month Style raises them to their deserved pedestals and shares their award-winning stories.
Allow us to introduce to you the nominees and winner of the 2011 "Person of the Year" award as voted by you, the readers. So, without further ado, the winner is…
Don Pritchard, Pastor
ABOUT THE WINNER, DON: At 19, Don Pritchard was already a heroin addict. He might have gone on to waste the rest of his life had he not decided one day that he was meant for something better.
He never shot heroin again, but his ongoing struggle with drugs cost him everything, including a marriage and his son. At age 25, he found himself in California with a duffel bag, 10 dollars and nothing else.
That was 1978. Over the next 11 years, Don would find God, become a pastor, remarry, have three children and go on to co-found the Solid Rock Faith Center (SRFC) in Diamond Springs. For the next two decades, and counting, SRFC would be a positive influence in the lives of untold numbers of people – leading people to Christ and putting a special focus on reaching the youth. "Our young people are worth any investment," says Don. "There's great potential in all of them, all they need is a little encouragement and to know that someone believes in them and their future."
He uses his own story as a case in point. In his words, if God can take a kid with 10 dollars and a duffel bag and make him the pastor of a church, imagine what more he can do if all our kids were encouraged to reach their fullest potential. "It's amazing how many kids tell me they didn't think anyone believed in them," Don says. "Any one of them could be the one who finds an answer to one of the world's biggest problems."
SRFC's mission for youth culminated in the building of Lord's Gym of El Dorado County in Diamond Springs in 2006, fulfilling a seven-year dream. For just five dollars a month, any teen in the county can join and use its facilities, participate in a variety of sports programs, and get unlimited mentoring and tutoring support. The whole purpose is to provide a safe, alcohol- and drug-free place where kids can gather and find encouragement.
"When I look at what God did with me and think of how he can turn a 25-year-old man with nothing into a pastor of a church with so much passion for young people, it's both humbling and exciting," Don says. "If we can keep just one kid from sticking a needle in his arm or winding up on the wrong end of a gun, all of this will have been worth it."
For more information about Solid Rock Faith Center, visit solidrockfaithcenter.com or to learn how to get involved with local youth or more Lord's Gym of El Dorado County information visit lordsgymedc.com.
Machelle Rae
ABOUT MACHELLE: It's really not about Machelle. True, she's been through more in the past 16 months than most people experience in 10 years. A wife, mother and county employee, her world began to turn upside in December 2009.
Her son was diagnosed with a chronic illness while in college. He moved home and got better, but the dominoes were already falling. Over the next several months, Machelle would experience a series of family crises involving her mother, father and mother-in-law, who ultimately died in her arms.
When it seemed the worst had passed, Machelle's husband Bob was in a horrible accident. He was in the hospital for six weeks, and Machelle practically lived by his side. They spent their 23rd anniversary together in his room. Then, there were six weeks of rehab. Bob came home a few weeks ago, but still needs constant care.
It would be easy to devote an entire award ceremony to Machelle's perseverance and sacrifice, and how her faith, compassion, love and commitment to her family could be an inspiration to any of us. But the real story here isn't about one person's ability to endure. It's about the community around her that made it possible.
"It's not me who deserves this award, it's the people who rallied around me and lifted me up emotionally and physically – who made it possible to cope and to survive," she says.
That support was mind-blowing, from her friend Janet who stepped in and "directed traffic," to the people who brought meals, mowed lawns, and did the grocery shopping. As the bills mounted and Rae returned to work, the lesson she learned was not that the human spirit can gut through anything, but that it has an amazing capacity for grace, if we would just learn to accept it.
"As people offered help at first, I was either too proud or too private; I couldn't be more of a burden," she says. "But I came to realize that within all of us there's a very real need to help others in their darkest times. My desire to believe I could manage was getting in the way of that, and blocking me from the amazing blessings this community had to offer. If I'm to be given an award for anything, I hope it would be for realizing that, and for wanting to pass that truth along to anyone who'll listen."
Randy Robinson, DVM
ABOUT RANDY: Randy Robinson says there are two kinds of pet owners. There are those who want the animal to do something for them, and those who want to do something for the animal. "My philosophy is you should get a pet because you want to make a difference in their lives," says Randy, himself a veterinarian and owner of the Missouri Flat Pet Clinic. "Everything you give them they give back to you twofold."
Providing that voice to the voiceless goes well beyond the four walls of his home or his clinic. He's very active in several animal rescue organizations, including Best Friends, the largest no-kill animal shelter in the world. One of Best Friends' founders, Gregory Castle, is in fact one of Randy's personal heroes.
Closer to home, Randy is involved with Chako, a pit-bull advocacy group in Sacramento, Bad Rap in Oakland, and People for Animal Welfare (PAWED) in El Dorado County, which just built a "beautiful" brand new spay and neuter clinic near Randy's office. One Sunday a month, you'll find him at the PAWED clinic donating his time and just "spaying and neutering away."
"There's just so much senseless death happening every day in animal shelters," Randy says. "By encouraging people to adopt a pet, and by helping prevent unwanted pets by spaying and neutering, I'm hoping to curb [senseless death]."
That might explain why Robinson currently has eight dogs at home and several cats. As a true animal lover, giving a voice to those who can't tell you where it hurts has always been a passion. As a result, his extraordinary compassion and service to the animals and people of El Dorado County has been widely noticed. If there's an animal in need, it's usually Robinson who gets the call.
"I once got a call about an elderly pit bull that was scheduled to be euthanized in 90 minutes unless I came and got him," Robinson says. "I don't get those calls often, but when I do, well, what choice is there?" Rarely does Robinson take an animal in with the intent to become its new owner; usually the objective is simply to provide foster care until a good home can be found. "Unfortunately, I'm really bad at foster care," he says. "I have a bad habit of falling in love with these animals."
Pat Barron
ABOUT PAT: When Pat Barron's sister Kacie was murdered in 2006, a victim of domestic violence, it would have been easy for his life to take a very dark turn.
Instead, through easier paths, Pat found a way to turn tragedy into triumph. "Crying and whining wasn't doing nothing for nobody," Pat says. "I was just inclined to act."
Act he did. Three months after Kacie's death, Pat started "Kacie's Ride for Hope" – a motorcycle rally and ride to raise money to help bring an end to domestic violence. That first year, more than a hundred riders participated and raised $4,500. A healthy start, and word spread fast. In the event's fourth year it raised $20,000, and all together, it has raised more than $50,000.
The money goes to the Center for Violence-free Relationships (The Center) in Placerville, where it helps cover costs for counseling, legal advocacy and other services. "My sister got help there and I know a lot of other people get the help they need at the Center," Pat says. "I guess there's part of me that wishes she'd gotten more help. If places like this get the resources they need, maybe no one else will end up like my sister did."
It's not just about money; the event's real mission is to open the public's eyes to the reality of domestic violence and make it stop. Pat says, "We need to teach our sons to learn how to communicate, and how to rely on something other than power and control."
Before the ride starts, Barron gets on the PA and, in his own unique style, takes advantage of a captive biker audience to "throw a little education at 'em." "I tell MY family's story, because Kacie and I grew up in a home affected by domestic violence," Barron says. "Then I tell everyone, especially the men, that it's time to stand up, change our behaviors, and teach our boys that knocking someone around is not the way to settle an argument. We need to teach our sons to learn how to communicate, and how to rely on something other than power and control."
"Pat has provided education into the biker community at a level no one has ever been able to accomplish in the history of our county, if not our state," says Matt Huckabay, The Center's executive director. "He really gets young men's attention and is one of the most credible witnesses to changing behavior and what real masculinity means.

Another duty free exclusive, this time Spanish oak and sherry casks combine with hogsheads and peat!Tasting note: The deep glossy topaz / new copper coin colour is a pleasure to behold. Nosing finds a superb integration of maritime peat, raisin cake, pepper and cinnamon with flashes of molasses. Medium bodied, the peat and sherry arrive in perfect harmony. There's brine, light fruit cake and a touch of orange zest while the finish is fresh, breezy and finely tuned. Sherry and peat don't always work. This one combines the two with aplomb. If only it was higher ABV! 40% Alc./Vol. Other reviews... Wow!! This is some nose: the peat is as hefty and cinderish as I have come across from a Bowmore in an age... a silky mouthfeel is first enriched by muscovado sugars and molasses and then a gradual but unrelenting build up in peat. Very gratifying indeed...a very happy marriage between some full on peat and decent sherry butts makes for the intense peat promised on the label. 40% Alc./Vol.

Sonnet 104: To Me, Fair Friend, You Never Can Be Old - Poem by William Shakespeare
To me, fair friend, you never can be old,
For as you were when first your eye I ey'd,
Such seems your beauty still. Three winters cold,
Have from the forests shook three summers' pride,
Three beauteous springs to yellow autumn turn'd,
In process of the seasons have I seen,
Three April perfumes in three hot Junes burn'd,
Since first I saw you fresh, which yet are green.
Ah! yet doth beauty like a dial-hand,
Steal from his figure, and no pace perceiv'd;
So your sweet hue, which methinks still doth stand,
Hath motion, and mine eye may be deceiv'd:
For fear of which, hear this thou age unbred:
Ere you were born was beauty's summer dead.

Fabrizio Frosini (4/2/2016 10:19:00 AM)
in ITALIAN:
Per me, mio caro, non sarai mai vecchio: come quando il tuo viso io mirai prima, bello mi sembri. Hanno tre freddi inverni scosso dai boschi a tre estati il vanto, tre belle primavere in gialli autunni mutarsi ho visto nel volger dell'anno, tre profumi d'aprile arsi in tre giugni, da quando vidi te verde come ora.
Ah, come un indice di meridiana, trascorre impercettibile beltà: sempre immota a me sembra la tua forma, ma è mobile, e può l'occhio ingannare. Future età, prima che foste nate, era già morta di beltà l'estate. (Report)Reply
Fabrizio Frosini (2/29/2016 6:05:00 AM)
The theme of Sonnet 104, the ravages of Time, is one common throughout all of the sonnets.
The poet uses his fond memories of first meeting his lover as inspiration to write the poem. It is clear from Sonnet 104, and the other sonnets as a whole, that the passion he feels for his male lover (the Earl of Southampton? the true identity of Shakespeare's lover is still unknown) , is the most intense experience of the poet's life. Nothing is important but his lover; his lover is eternal, both in beauty and spirit.

This sonnet is thought by many to be one of the so called 'dating' sonnets. If we could determine the date when youth and poet first met, so the argument runs, we could then decide when this sonnet was written. This may be so, but it has been pointed out that the three year period mentioned in lines 3-7 is probably only notional, a conventional time span for love to build and fructify. (Report)Reply
Fabrizio Frosini (1/14/2016 3:41:00 PM)
''To me, fair friend, you never can be old, ''
Perhaps this line responds to the suggestions in the previous sonnets that the mirror is beginning to show lines and wrinkles in the beloved's face. Or perhaps it is intended as a reassuring declaration by the poet, that for him nothing will change, despite the transience of the world all around him. It may have sprung from private conversations, and from comments made by the young man. In substance it foreshadows the famous declaration of faith of Sonnet 116
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments

The following perspective change can help to transform conflicts into positive learning experiences. These two different approaches can relate to conflicts between any two or more individuals in a family, so although I'm mostly focusing on parent-child conflicts, know that you can apply these concepts to conflicts in all relationships like teachers in the classroom, couples having marital conflicts, misunderstandings with friends or work colleagues.
When using some of the connection and empathy based communication skills shared below; differences and conflicts can become an opportunity to:
- deepen their understanding and trust of each other,
- practice sharing their feelings in a non-blaming way,
- practice active listening skills,
- practice mutual problem solving,
- and develop their practice of loving, compassionate nonviolent relating.
In the peaceful parenting approach, the parent aims to relate to the feelings and unmet needs of both their child and themselves and aims to creatively find a solution that meets as many of the needs as possible.
First it's important to understand that misbehaviour is seen to be symptomatic of the child or the parent-child relationship being currently out of balance. There are needs to be identified and met in the trust that when a child's needs are met, their behaviour tends to be much more balanced.
Typical conflicts in the family are often sparked when a parent expresses a limit like "no you can't have a biscuit right now" or a request "can you please pick up your toys?" Either the child reacts to the limit or the request, or the child doesn't respond positively and then the parent reacts. Another typical cause of conflict relates to opposing wants and needs. The parent wants their child to come and eat or put on their p.j.'s but the child wants to continue with their play. The parent wants their child to go to bed, but their child wants another two stories. These kind of challenges are normal and happen in most families on most days.
In the old traditional model when conflict arises in the family; the objective is to figure out who is to blame and allot a punishment, often referred to as a "consequence" as the remedy for the wrongdoing or to otherwise coerce the child: When a conflict of wishes, wants, needs or opinions arises between parent and child, the parent's urge is to blame, the child's urge is to defend themselves, which results in the child blaming the parent or themselves and a power struggle ensuing. It's as if the name of the game is to figure out who is right and who is wrong, which does nothing to foster true cooperation.

There's an underlying belief that because the child has done or said something wrong or didn't do what they were supposed to do, then;
- The child has to earn the adult's trust again, "I'll believe that you're sorry when I see you fix it"
- The message is given in one way or another that the child who did "wrong" will only change, care or learn if they are told, in one way or another, how wrong they were.
- To make the child learn to behave more appropriately, there must be a consequence assigned by the adult as this is the only way the child will learn or care about the consequences of their actions (which feels very insulting and disempowering for the child) and if not, the child is "lucky this time".
The parent decides on an appropriate punishment (perhaps silence or withdrawal of something that's valued, perhaps made to do extra chores),
- The child is given the message that the punishment is the consequence of their actions or lack of action (refusal to do what they're told) and they chose for this to happen by chosing to break a rule or not comply.
- The child is given the message that a consequence/punishment is being set because this is what 'needs' to happen in loving relationships, this is all part of the responsibility of a loving parent, this is what "love" looks like and this is how we learn to be a better person. The child is conditioned to not only expect painful consequences in response to their mistakes or refusal to be obedient but conditioned to translate painful experiences in relationships to be a reflection of their wrongdoing.
- Children become scared of their parent's disapproval. To avoid blame and rejection, they avoid taking responsibility and became very skilled at blaming others. Taking responsibility feels unsafe.
- In this culture, children will go to great lengths to hide their mistakes, to blame others, to attack as the best means of defence and to avoid taking on responsibility (like chores) that may result in making mistakes.
In the new model of relating to the feelings and unmet needs
When a conflict of wishes, wants, needs or opinions arise between parent and child, it is recognized that the parent or the child or both have feelings which need attention;
- We need to talk to better understand each other, we need to take turns listening to each other, misunderstandings need to be uncovered and resolved.
- We trust our child's inherent goodness, we trust that through honest, authentic, but sensitive, sharing of how each person feels, difficulties can be resolved. Even infants need and deserve to feel truly heard.
- Each person thus gains a greater feeling of being understood and respected as well as gaining a greater understanding of why the conflict arose and greater empathy for the other.
- We trust that both the parent and the child want to reach the place of repairing and solving the problem, but may need to feel heard and the child feel cared for first.
- The parent recognizes that when there's an upset, connection must precede and accompany correction.
- The child learns through the natural consequence of seeing how their parent feels about what has happened "I felt very scared when I saw you climb up there, I was worried that you might hurt yourself"
- The parent's ability to still show care, concern, love and support of their feelings in this challenging situation assures the child that they are still a good and lovable person even when conflict happens.
- Because the child trusts that their parent's concern and guidance is coming from a place of care and because their feelings have been taken into consideration, the child can hear and consider their parent's perspective and truly learn from the situation.
- In this family culture, children feel free to share and seek support from their parents when they make mistakes. They don't have a need to hide their mistakes, to blame others or to attack family members because they are secure in the knowledge that all challenges will be worked through with consideration and care for everyone's feelings and everyone's unique perspective. Children are more willing to take on responsibilities like chores with the trust that they will be guided rather than criticized.
In summary: Children learn to react and treat others during conflicts in the same ways that their parent has reacted and treated them during conflicts at home. Your children will respond to conflicts in themselves (oh dear I got it wrong), with you, with siblings and with their friends in the same ways that they've seen modelled in their primary relationships.
In the peaceful parenting model, they learn that challenges are learning opportunities rather than evidence of there being something wrong with them. They learn to listen and acknowledge other people's feelings and perspectives through receiving the same. They learn to express their feelings in non-attacking ways and they learn how to problem solve to find solutions that meet as many needs as possible. They learn that resolving conflicts involves understanding each other and empathizing with each other and they learn lots of vocabulary for emotions and needs and great conflict resolution skills that will serve them well all through life.

Here at Untouchable, you'll find pretty decent writing, heartfelt reviews, tried-and-true outfits, Op-Eds (mostly griping about the fashion industry), essays ("Hell is other people" is pretty much my motto), and whatever else finds its way here. Thanks for coming by, and please keep hands and feet inside until the ride stops.
All in OP-ED
If fashion and celebrity culture in the early aughts were seen through vaseline-covered lenses and heavily Photoshopped, painstakingly perfect pictures, now, amateur mirror selfies are more likely sources of influence and inspiration. An era of oversharing is in full-swing, and consumers are more accustomed to images shot on an iPhone than overly-glossy photography.
Reed Krakoff's collection for Kohl's officially "launched" in late April, just over a year after the designer announced what is slated to be a temporary closing and restructuring of his eponymous line. I say "launched" because while Reed Collection is still in its infancy, the designs themselves are several seasons old. The bags don't just reference the designer's highly-coveted pieces, they are exact replicas.
Just as each label has a designer, or a team of designers, they should have at least one person whose sole role is painting a vivid picture of the brand - its history, its outlook, and its future. Brands would do well to employ a staff scribe, separate from the team of quippy copywriters who design sales-oriented marketing copy.
Thanks to "vanity sizing," the now-common practice of labeling clothing with a smaller numerical or alphabetical size than it actually represents, the act of shopping for clothes can feel like a cross between a game of chance and psychological warfare.
There are few things more grating than when models talk about how they regularly indulge in burgers and pizza. Except when they talk about how hard they have been rallying to bring a different look to the industry. (When they are a size 4, blonde, blue-eyed, thin, and white.)
Since the news broke about Scott and Kourtney's split (thanks to his alleged indiscretions with stylist Chloe Bartoli, among other things), Instagram users have taken it upon themselves to leave disparaging comments on Bartoli's posts, calling her a "whore", a "homewrecker", "ugly", and claiming she knowingly broke up a family.
The opening-up of boundaries by blogs and insta-fashion is on its way out like last season's It-Bag. The No Trespassing signs are about to go back up, rendering fashion once again Private Property.
Boston and its neighboring suburbs are made up of an incredibly diverse population. With new residents seeking style, the city's fashion and retail landscapes have shifted to accomodate them, and changes are evident in both street-style and brick-and-mortar developments alike.
Fashion and lifestyle bloggers have become a major force in the industry. With strong business ethics rooted in genuine passion, curiosity, and a little tech know-how, they've proven that they are here to stay.
While most of us bloggers are on the daily 9-5 grind, Chiara Ferragni, the 27-year-old Italian fashion and lifestyle blogger behind TheBlondeSalad.com, has been criss-crossing the globe, turning her blog into an international brand.
Click bait is a reality of modern media geared towards young people - particularly young women. But a bait-and-switch - or the promise of an article the facts of which are not yet confirmed - is pretty low.
The organisers of New York Fashion Week aim to clean up an event that "has been swarmed with fashion bloggers, street-style photographers and fashion fans." But bloggers — fashion's resident outsiders — have a lot to bring to the table.
Fashion advertisers have long played on our desire to keep up with the Joneses with compelling images designed to make us shell out piles of money. But lately, crowd-sourced imagery is changing the way people shop. How are brands and retailers adapting?

By the end of the day, we covered just about every combination we could think of. Great memories and smiles. A few paws and whiskers made their way into the photos as well.

Chainsaw Carvings By Duncan Kitson
I am a self-taught Chainsaw Sculptor born, raised and still residing in North Wales on the north west coast of Anglesey. After spending my early working years felling trees in Newborough Forest, I discovered that it was far more rewarding to carve trees instead of cut them down. Inspired by my natural environment, the beauty of the coastal landscape, it's wildlife and the ever changing sea and western sky, my work is mostly calm, peaceful and tactile, unlike the raging storm of the chainsaw that created it! The unique and original qualities of my work lie in the design, engineering, symmetry and movement of my sculptures. I have extensive knowledge of trees, their history, age, condition, durability and suitability for all types of projects. I can carve fallen trees or living trees into bespoke pieces of art for schools, public areas or private commissions. With over 35 years of experience, I have represented Wales and Great Britain in many international wood and snow sculpture symposiums and competitions. My work can be seen throughout the UK, Europe, Canada and the USA. If you have a project you are presently considering or would like to discuss any potential future project, ideas or thoughts, looking for a bespoke gift or something for the garden, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Hayden Panettiere, is that really you?
The "Nashville" star debuted new blunt bangs and straighter and blonder locks while making an appearance on the "Late Show with David Letterman" on Wednesday in New York City.
Along with the hot new hair, the 24-year-old cutie showed off an updated daring style which featured a stained-glass print Alexander McQueen mini, bold red lips and matching ankle boots. Juliette Barnes, she is definitely not!
Missing in action on the petite actress was the so-called "engagement ring" which has been spotted on the former "Heroes" star recently. So what's the deal? Is Hayden still dating Ukrainian boxer Wladimir Klitschko or is their cute love affair over?
We don't have the answers but we're sure Hayden's significant other would love her new 'do, just as we do.
Just like any typical woman, the french fry lover took to Twitter to show off her edgier hair and wondered whether it was a good idea to go blunt.
The actress tweeted:
"My friend said to go look at myself in the mirror...guess ill hafta trust her opinion..."
Trust us, Hayden. You look gorgeous!
Are bangs the way to go?

I am embarking on a new adventure with starting my own blog. I have been so fascinated with my older daughter's blog (Adventures of a Southern Newlywed) and all the fun she has had with it and most recently with my younger daughter's blog (Sweet, Sassy and Always Classy), that I decided that it was time to get in on the action and start my own blog! With help from my youngest daughter, here we go!
I love spending time on the computer reading other people's blogs and I want to get in on the fun too. I am a bit challenged when it comes to using the computer, so I'm sure I will need some help along the way. But it will be exciting learning how to operate in the blog world and making new blogger friends.
I am excited to start off the year 2009 with my own blog. I am not liking my new life as an empty nester and what better way to fill up my free time than with my new blog. I love to cook, so I plan to have recipes for you to try that I have enjoyed making in my own home. I especially love to bake and I am known for my desserts. I take and share desserts with all my Bible study groups each week. My friends call my dessert making my ministry to others.
I love quilting, so I will look forward to sharing pictures of some of the quilts I have made. I have also tried my hand at about every kind of craft under the sun, so I am always looking for new and fun things to make for gifts and for my home.
I feel as if 2009 is going to be an awesome year! It has already gotten off to a good start for me.
I look forward to getting to know each and every one of you and sharing ideas with each other.
Have a wonderful day.
