The Lesotho immigration authorities have introduced the new E-Visa system in an effort to increase access to potential visitors and to improve the visa processing time. Effective immediately, visa nationals will now be required to apply for their Entry Visas online at www.evisalesotho.com.
Upon approval, foreign nationals will receive the approval confirmation electronically, which they should print and present to the immigration officials on arrival in Lesotho. E-Visas will be endorsed in their passports on arrival with the dates of validity.
The E-Visa fees are USD 150 for single-entry and USD 250 for multiple-entry visas. The approval will now take between 24 to 72 hours, compared to the previous processing time of seven to 14 business days.
What This Means for Employers and Foreign Nationals
The new E-Visa system is expected to greatly improve and expedite the application and approval process for foreign nationals traveling to Lesotho.

And that's because I have failed big time in my blogging responsibilities lately when it comes to Jack. So here is a brief update. He is the smartest kid ever. He knows every word. Seriously. I can say anything and he will repeat it. He is getting pretty good with his alphabet and recognizes C, O, S, R, B, and T sometimes. His favorite is C and he points them out everywhere. He loves flags. We are grateful that the word flag is now sounding like flag instead of the F-bomb like it used to. He loves to read his stories and is getting good at doing it on his own. He has several pages of his favorite books memorized. He loves to dance and attempt to snap his fingers. It is pretty funny and cute. His favorite song to jam to is "I Gotta Feeling" by the Black Eyed Peas. He says Mommy, FINALLY. I mean really it isn't fair that it takes so long for them to learn it. He has graduated to one nap during the day and has taken to it nicely. He sleeps for about 1.5-2 hours every day. Praise! He loves going in the car and begs during the day to leave the house. He knows when I grab my purse that we are heading out and immediately heads up the stairs and says "car." He has 7 teeth currently–top 4, bottom 2 and one molar on top. I can feel a couple more molars coming in. I wonder where the other bottom teeth are? He is a good boy and we love him.
A little Cafe Rio love. He loves the rice and beans so much.
Jack emptied the towel drawer in the kitchen and then climbed inside. He was pretty proud of himself. But was letting out a few worried whimpers because he wasn't sure how to get out.
Story time any way that he can get it.
Now helping with the dishes sometimes involves getting really up close and personal with the dishwasher. He is entering the climbing phase of life.
And because our Jack is getting so big we decided to really test his "big boy" skills by giving him this opportunity…
…Big brother Jack is pretty excited for a baby to join us on or around September 14, 2010.

Dexter's Apartment is a location in Showtime's series DEXTER
It is Dexter Morgan's (now former) place of residence. Dexter considers it to be his only safe haven from the outside world and a place where he is free to reveal his true nature.
8240 Palm Terrace, #10B
Miami, FL 33142
Dexter's apartment building is set apart from others and near the waterfront. There is also a private pool. On the inside, it appears to be a normal, well-kept apartment, consisting of a living room, kitchen, study, bathroom, and bedroom. Despite this, it contains secret places. Dexter's blood slide box (where he stashes the trophies of his kills) is hidden within an air conditioner. In the bedroom closet, his kill tools are locked inside a trunk. Also, a getaway bag that contains emergency items (e.g. cash, passports) is sealed behind a wall.
The 2nd floor apartment (condo) is owned by Dexter and it's where he lives throughout the series, except during the fourth season. After he marries Rita Bennett, they buy a house in the suburbs and Dexter has some difficulty adjusting to family life. To have a quiet place and a spot where he can research his targets, Dexter secretly keeps his apartment. When Rita eventually finds out, she grows suspicious of why Dexter is keeping it. When he finally abandons his apartment, Debra takes it over. After Rita is killed by Arthur Mitchell, Dexter moves back to the apartment and Debra moves out.
Dexter doesn't always live alone in his apartment. After her ordeal with The Ice Truck Killer, Debra lives with him until he persuades her to move out. While she is in hiding, Dexter first lets Lumen Pierce stay in his empty house and then in his apartment. For several years, it serves as both Dexter and Harrison's home with Dexter even buying an adjoining apartment in order to have more space, privacy, and an additional entrance.
In the series finale, Dexter decides to fake his own death and leave Miami. It is unknown who are the new owners of the apartment. Sylvia Prado is the realtor.
- Sal Price dies in Dexter's apartment after he is poisoned by Hannah McKay. ("Chemistry")
- Cassie Jollenston is murdered by The Brain Surgeon in the next door apartment. ("Dress Code")
- Zach Hamilton is murdered by The Brain Surgeon, and his body is left in Dexter's apartment. ("Are We There Yet?")
These adversaries have all been inside Dexter's apartment.
- Brian Moser
- Lila West
- James Doakes
- Maria LaGuerta
- Miguel Prado
- Ramon Prado
- Arthur Mitchell
- Travis Marshall
- Stan Liddy

I'm trying to
recapture the feel
of my body as silk,
lily-white and glistening
by the pale twilight
of an early 3am.
I was once
a temptress
in gloss-pink lips.
I slide my fingers
past the velvet-white
of my belly button
and wonder where
that other woman,
who was once
myself, has gone.
I awakened myself
this morning with
a new desire
for an old thing,
made coffee in my panties,
fresh skin of my thighs
untouched but by
the gentle hug
of one another.
Today I woke up,
body buzzing,
more aware myself
than I could ever
recall this skin,
and wondered to myself:
What kind of woman
am I without
the ties that bind?

I got into LAX at 10am and was left to my own devices while my friends were at work. I decided to go to Downtown LA in the hopes that it was somewhat walkable. It was very walkable and I got to see a lot of cool stuff and ate some really delicious food while I was there.
To get from LAX to downtown, there's a superconvenient flyaway bus that costs $9 and drops off at Union Station; it stops at every terminal so just look for the bus sign when walking out. I was headed to the OC on Amtrak later in the evening so I conveniently left my luggage at the Amtrak luggage check for $4 per piece. It's for ticketed passagers only but you can buy a ticket for $8 so it's still a pretty good deal if you decide not to use the ticket.

I'm always looking for something new and better for Daze to eat. We went to PetSmart on Saturday and got a free sample of Nulo. Since it was grain-free I wanted to give it a try with Daze since she already has stomach issues.
The sample we got was the Adult: Lamb & Lentils. I love lamb so I thought for sure Daze would like it too. The nibbles were pretty small too.
I put a handful into her regular dog food. It's defiantly a good idea to start small when giving your dog new food and to mix it into the food they already have. I was so excited when I heard her start eating her food. When she was done eating she came over to me and burped right in my face. Thanks. I went to check her bowl only to find this.
She is pretty smart and picked out all the Nulo food. Apparently she doesn't like it. The search continues to find Daze some new dog food!
Buy 1, get 1 20% off online only at PetSmart.com! Offer valid 3/10 – 3/11/16.

The Pros and Cons to Intermittent Fasting
Intermittent fasting carries a unique set of pros and cons. Examine the upsides and downsides, so that you can make an informed decision as to whether or not fasting intermittently is the best approach for you.
Intermittent fasting provides many benefits and can help you realize your weight loss goals. However, remember that it's not magic. Just because you fast once or twice a week doesn't mean you can gorge on junk food to make up for the calories that you didn't eat while fasting.
Highlighting the pros of intermittent fasting
Intermittent fasting is a very beneficial practice, is easy to follow, and allows you the flexibility you need for when life happens. By getting to choose and flex your fasting days and selecting when you start your fasting periods, intermittent fasting really can work for you, and you never need to go to bed hungry. It doesn't have any complicated formulas, diet plans, pricey supplements, or special foods that you need to buy.
Intermittent fasting is simple and it's effective. Some of the other benefits to intermittent fasting include the following:
The ability and flexibility to set and change your fasting schedule as time goes on: You don't need to keep your fast on the same day each week. Really, it doesn't matter when you do it, so long as you do it. You can choose the best time or day to fast.
Some people prefer weekends, and others prefer weekdays. Just stop eating for 24 hours, one day a week. The day doesn't matter.
One full day of fasting is plenty. Fasting for 24 hours allows you to reap the full benefits of fasting. Just don't take the more-is-more approach and fast any longer than 24 hours.
The freedom from continuously planning your day around your next meal: When you first take a break from eating, you'll likely be astonished by the sheer amount of time that is free in a day. You don't have to plan or prepare meals, at least for one day out of the week. For many people, it's very liberating.
A reduction in weekly food costs: Not eating for a full day once a week means a lower weekly grocery bill.
An uncomplicated diet plan with no tricky formulas, equations, or costly meal plans: Intermittent fasting is so easy. You just don't eat for a day. That's it! No counting calories, carbs, or anything of that sort. You don't eat. Period.
Scientific studies have also proven time and again its efficacy in terms of weight loss, muscle gain, and insulin sensitivity.
Considering the cons of intermittent fasting
Unlike some of the other fasting systems, the intermittent fasting approach does require at least a full 24-hour fast, which can be difficult, especially if you've never tried fasting before. That's certainly not to say that you won't become accustomed to it. Just be aware that there will be challenges, such as staving off hunger and feeling low energy levels, particularly at first.
Don't be discouraged by the idea of fasting for 24 straight hours. You can reach many of the benefits of your fast prior to the 24-hour mark. Although you should always strive to complete the full fast when following the intermittent fasting protocol, if on a given day you just feel like you need to end your fast early at, say, 22 hours, that's okay, too.

[ARTICLE] Will A K-Pop Girl Group Take Over The U.S. Soon (Or Ever)?
What will it take for a group like 2NE1 or Girls' Generation to break big in the States?
In the past five years, South Korea has looked to its girl groups to be the ones to break into America's pop scene. Barring PSY's unexpected breakthrough with "Gangnam Style" — which many fans still don't deem a "K-pop" breakthrough — a Korean group still hasn't penetrated the scene in a meaningful way, despite fan bases that rival (and at times proven to be stronger than) One Direction, Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga. Will a K-pop girl group ever become a U.S. phenomenon? Continue reading
[CAP] 2NE1's "I AM THE BEST" In At #1 On Billboard's World Digital Songs Chart (February 5, 2015)
Source: Billboard
2NE1's 'Crush' Is First K-Pop Entry on Year-End World Albums Chart
The girl group ends a year of accolades by breaking one more record.
After breaking multiple chart records earlier this year, 2NE1 cap off 2014 with one more boundary-pushing victory.
The girl group's Crush album ranks at No. 11 on Billboard's year-end World Albums chart. It's the first time a K-pop act has notched an entry on the annual ranking that was first introduced in 1995.
2NE1's 'I AM THE BEST' Tops World Digital Songs Chart After Big Sales Week
Earning the best sales week for any of their songs, the K-pop girl group is first non-PSY act to top the Billboard chart.
2NE1 has earned the first No. 1 on Billboard's World Digital Songs after a big sales week for their K-pop hit "I Am the Best."
The booming dance-rap track is currently being used in Microsoft's brilliant Surface Pro 3 ad and appears to be connecting with its U.S. audience. "I Am the Best" sold 6,000 copies last week, according to Nielsen SoundScan, marking the best sales week ever for any 2NE1 song.
The World Digital Songs chart has existed since Jan. 2010 and "I Am the Best" is the only non-PSY K-pop song to hit No. 1 on the chart.
2NE1 fans have been ecstatic over the reaction to the K-pop track, originally released in June 2011, on YouTube and radio too. The song's official music video broke 100 million views over the weekend, making the quartet the second K-pop girl group to hit that mark after Girls' Generation, who has done so three times before. As well, the zippy single appears to have earned a few spins on the playlist for Boston radio station 103.3 AMP.
To date, "I Am the Best" has not registered on any of Billboard's streaming songs charts, but check back on Thursday to see if it does. As well, the song currently has no plays in the week ending Oct. 5 on any of the more than 1,500 stations Nielsen BDS monitors.
In March, 2NE1's Crush album set the new record for highest-charting and best first-week sales for a K-pop album in America with 5,000 copies sold. The feat followed high-profile appearances on will.i.am's #willpower album, released in April 2013, and performing "I Am the Best" on The Bachelor in January 2014.

WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) -- Thousands of Internet radio stations and channels across America will band together this fall to offer one major national advertiser an advertising schedule across virtually the entire medium, according to Kurt Hanson, publisher of RAIN: Radio and Internet Newsletter."
Hanson developed the Gigabuy project for almost two months. He said Webcasters will propose to tell a national advertiser a commercial every two hours for eight weeks. "The purpose of Gigabuy is to highlight the fact that advertisers can now reach a unique new type of radio listening audience - one that's almost 100 percent upscale, at work, and currently online," Hanson said. He has also created almost a dozen niche Web radio stations accessible from his site. He said Webcasters plan to make presentations to advertisers during the next several weeks and to offer the Gigabuy campaign in the fourth quarter.
New Amazon.com strategy creates static
Nike Inc. NKE, +0.09% and Callaway Golf ELY, +0.20% are reportedly trying to stop retailers from selling their products on the new sporting goods section of Amazon.com AMZN, +0.57%. The manufacturers are worried the online retailer's emphasis on discounts, "might cheapen their brands," the Wall Street Journal reported. Golfsmith, a chain of golf superstores, is an affiliate of Amazon's new sports retailing effort, and has been told by Titleist FO, -6.67% , Callaway ELY, +0.20% and Ping they do not want their gear sold through the site, the newspaper said. "Our concern is for the brand. We don't want to see ... a Callaway Great Big Bertha II next to something on sale for $100," said Sam Sheagren, director of world-wide sales for Callaway
Calcanis tries to interest Webloggers
The founder of the Silicon Alley Reporter is back with a new idea. Jason Calcanis is preparing to launch a one-stop site for business-to-business media which will partner with journalists who want to publish online newsletters. His new company, Weblogs Inc. will provide the technology and billing services, and split revenues with the writers. "One of the after effects of the dot.com boom and bust is that many talented journalists want to be freelancers," Calcanis wrote on the WeblogsInc.com site. "After the bust everyone realized that no company is loyal to them and that they can make a better living on their own as a freelancer while having a better lifestyle." Word Calcanis was developing a new venture was originally reported by Rafat Ali's PaidContent.org.
Net video ready for primetime
Research from In-Stat/MDR projects video streaming subscription services will generate $4.5 billion dollars in fees in 2007. That's more than four times the size of the market this year, according to the research company. "Lots of people are hooking up (to the Internet) at high-speed," said Gerry Kaufhold, principal analyst, "All of these people are cruising at high speed and will be getting used to having high-quality streaming video content coming to their homes via the Internet." In-Stat/MDR predicted four categories of subscription services will succeed: sports related programming; movie and TV-related sites such as movie and TV program downloads; general interest sites from major portal providers which partner with sports and movie and TV sites for traffic, and video communications services offering such things as video telephone calls.
MSN to restrict chat to subscribers
Microsoft MSFT, -0.82% has decided to eliminate most of its Internet chat services, citing a concern to make the online conversations safer for children. After Oct. 14, chats in the United States will require users to subscribe to at least one paid MSN service. The company says that will make it easier for Microsoft to track abusers. However, Rob Heim, an analyst with the Directions on Microsoft research firm, said the move also makes sense financially. "Fundamentally, I believe this is a move to make MSN more profitable." He said MSN will be able to eliminate the infrastructure which supports chat in most of Europe and Latin America," and make more money on what it leaves in place" in the U.S., Japan, Brazil, and Canada, the Associated Press reported.
New media report due from Edison Research, Arbitron

High Matching Funds Keep Some Small Businesses Away
TRP management is eager to see more small and medium businesses apply to the program, but the high matching funds have proven an entry barrier. Venture capitalists have plenty of bucks, but are traditionally wary of Department of Defense-related projects.
In the TRP's rarefied inner sanctum, interest in private venture capital is growing. But nearly everyone agrees the pitfalls are as plentiful as the opportunities.
The ideal scenario, from the TRP's perspective, is to get venture capitalists teamed with small and medium-sized companies early on, before a proposal is made. So far that hasn't happened.
"We've learned that in general [venture capitalists] approach life very differently than we do... our objectives are not always parallel," TRP director Lee Buchanan said in a recent interview.
For one, venture capitalists want quick money and a clear exit route. TRP projects are by nature research-intensive and far from commercialization. Nor are they guaranteed money-makers, since the dual-use mandate of the TRP favors technology over profits.
"The objective of this program is not to make money," Buchanan said. "[TRP] companies need to be healthy enough to supply the DoD."
These differences aside, a few hearty venture types say there is hope for synergy. Jon Kutler of Quarterdeck Investment Partners Inc. is making a splash in the press with a proposal to pool DoD and venture capital money in a private corporation. That would leverage DoD funds and tap the company-picking prowess of experienced venture capitalists.
"That's what you're ultimately looking for," said Mike Daniels of SAIC, who is working closely with the TRP on the issue. "[But] do we have the legal and regulatory ability to allow new models to work?"
The answer is not clear so far. The TRP appears to have the authority to design such a plan without congressional approval, but privacy could be a problem.
All TRP proposals are closely guarded as proprietary, and opening the process up to venture capitalists poses intellectual property risks.
"Everything new we've thought of has a problem associated with it," said Buchanan.
On Capitol Hill, ideas abound. Rep. Pat Schroeder, D-Colo., is "very supportive" of getting venture capitalists involved early in the TRP process and recently added language to the 1995 defense authorization bill to encourage it.
It directs the TRP to consider proposals from small businesses "without regard to the ability of the small business concern to immediately meet its share of the anticipated partnership costs."
If the company wins a grant, it would have up to 90 days to secure the matching funds--ideally from venture capitalists.
The bill has been marked up and awaits a floor vote in the House. Senate defense authorization staffers say the new TRP language has merit at first glance.
The small business issue was also addressed by Congress last year when it amended TRP bylaws to allow Small Business Innovative Research awards to be counted as matching funds by TRP proposers.
Federal encouragement of high-tech venture capitalism is also part of the National Competitiveness Act of 1994, known before its contentious Senate passage as S-4. Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., secured a provision for a new $100 million pilot program to provide loan guarantees to specially selected "civilian technology investment companies." These companies, in turn, would provide venture capital and loans specifically to high tech start-ups. Hill staffers say the prognosis for the provision is "guarded."
Rep. George Hochbrueckner, D-N.Y., has gone one step further by offering language for $50 million in direct working capital loan guarantees to defense companies in the fiscal 1995 defense authorization bill.
The provision, written specifically to help TRP companies move into commercialization, has gone unfunded in past years.
Hill enthusiasm aside, the problems of matching venture capitalists with federal programs remain. "It's going to be harder than it sounds," said Jon Kutler.
"You're really looking at uncharted territory here," said SAIC's Daniels, "But there's interest."

The Society recently held some focus groups with members to ask them their views on Corporate Social Responsibility. Members understood the term, but preferred to talk about it as treating members fairly and looking after their interests, supporting the local community, being a good local employer and supporting the local economy. We had a number of stimulating and thought provoking discussions and all of these will contribute to how the Society will approach its vision to be the most socially responsible building society in the UK.
Another very clear statement was that any such 'socially responsible' commitment must come from the top. For a number of years the Society has offered employees the opportunity of 4 hours paid leave per month to volunteer with a local group or charity. In 2014 the Society increased its number of volunteer hours by 64% to 616 hours in a year. This provides great additional work experience for our employees and additional skills and support to local groups and charities.
Myself and my colleagues on the Executive volunteer, although all in different ways! I am a Group Scout Leader and have used my volunteering hours with Home Start East, IHAG, Emmaus, Suffolk FIND and Raising the Bar (Suffolk County Council Education) activities. Our Chief Executive has supported everything from local charities such as Fresh Start New Beginnings through to leading a successful City Deal bid to bring millions to Ipswich to support post 16 vocational education and jobs.
In February we decided as an Executive to do our volunteering as a team and offer ourselves to the third sector as a consultative group. At these sessions we would share our expertise around fundraising, marketing, business strategy and finances. We started to spread the word using social media and the local press and as a result a number of local organisations came forward for support. It was a difficult decision selecting who to work with, and in the end we agreed on two and decided to support REACH and The Mix.
Last month we completed our first session with REACH, a charity that supports families and individuals in the Haverhill area who are suffering a short term crisis as well as aiming to relieve the effects of poverty in the longer term.
We visited REACH at their office location in Haverhill and met with Henry Wilson, their head of community projects. We spent time with him discussing his longer term strategy and business plan for the charity and offered suggestions about how this could be made clearer and more concise. At the end of the session we produced a template that outlined the key strategic points for the next 3 – 5 years; a document to steer Henry's future business planning.
At the session we also found out more about the services REACH provides, including debt counselling and money management, food precision, furniture and household provision, housing and benefits advice, client aid and advice on affordable housing.
It was a great session, leaving Henry with some practical as well as strategic suggestions for the future direction of the charity as well as reminding us of the invaluable work such charities do in supporting vulnerable groups in our community. You can read more about the session with REACH here.

Our last day in Switzerland was jammed packed, because we were waiting for the perfect day (clear and sunny) to go to the Schilthorn viewing point. We woke up so early to go see the best view of the alps from the Schilthorn summit. Which included taking a cable car straight up the mountain side, which is not for the faint at heart. The summit has a panoramic view of the Jungfrau, Mönch, & Eiger peaks of the Alps. While up there we got to experience at buffet breakfast at Piz Gloria, one of the world's highest revolving restaurants. It was crazy because your view was constantly changing, because we were constantly moving! It was such a fun experience. Did I mention that a James Bond Museum was there because on of the Bond movies was filmed there? Such a fun experience! Here are some of my favorite pics below!
After we made it back down the mountain, we ended up making a last minute decision that was our favorite part of the trip. (it may or may not have involved flying over the swiss alps) Cannot wait to tell you about that in the next post!

After leaving Rothenburg, Germany (see the amazing medieval cuteness here.) We headed south through the German countryside to Switzerland, which honestly ended up being one of our favorites spots of the entire trip. If you are considering a trip to Switzerland, just do it!! It is absolutely incredible. I planned the entire trip based off of recommendations from a few friends and family, but mostly through the Rick Steves Switzerland guidebook!! (If you don't know who Rick Steves is, read more about him here!! He is worth knowing about if you are traveling around Europe!! )
So unlike the rest of the trip where we moved from city to city, we decided to settle down in the charming village of Murren in the Berner Oberland Region overlooking the Lauterbrunnen Valley. If you are familiar with Switzerland, then we were really close to Interlaken. We stayed at Hotel Alpina for 4 nights and 5 days!! Would highly recommend that hotel! The views were absolutely incredible of the Swiss Alps. We arrived later Thursday night with just enough time to check in and grab dinner!!
Rothenburg ob der Tauber, the quaintest, cutest, storybook town in the heart of Germany. I squealed multiple times throughout our time here just from all the cuteness. If it looks a little familiar, this town helped inspire the creators of the Disney movie Pinocchio! It also happened to not get bombed flat in WWII which helped preserve the medieval cuteness. There is a wall lining the entire city that we got to walk on, and the doors are big enough so a horse drawn carriage could fit through!! It was seriously just so charming.
Our first day in Germany after we traveled to Kierspe (see more on Kierspe here.) We arrived in Cochem late that night after driving through lots of winding mountain backroads. One of the main reason's I picked the Mosel River Valley over the roaring Rhine River Valley was that it was closest to the Burg Eltz Castle that we wanted to visit, (to see all of its medieval glory click here. :) And also because it was less touristy and quieter. It casually has its own small castle on the top of the hill. Cochem is known for its wineries and because of that most of the wine is local! Its half-timbered traditional German architecture was incredibly quaint and beautiful and completely stole my heart! We woke up the next morning from our lovely hotel, Pension Gunter to head to the Burg Eltz Castle. After we returned we walked around Cochem and had a dinner & gelato date. Here are some of my favorites from our day in Cochem :)
To say all of my medieval castle finding dreams came true once we visited the Burg Eltz would be an understatement. Burg Eltz, an over 850-year-old intact castle just outside of Cochem, Germany, was like stepping into a medieval movie, but in real life. Somehow since 1157 AD, this castle has remained untouched by wars and stayed within the same family for over 800 years!! CRAZINESS! Surrounded by forests that feel enchanted, and far away from any major city or roads, it is the real deal. I only wish I could show you pictures of the inside (photography wasn't allowed on the tour.) so you could see the grandeur and how crazy it was that everything was still intact. Chase and I hiked down the hill to see this glorious view of the Burg Eltz peeking through the trees. I definitely squealed multiple times just wondering how this place even existed still! Here are a few of my favorites.
Hey guys! I can't wait to share all the fun memories from our trip to Europe a few weeks ago. We started off our European road trip through 3 different countries (well really, 4 countries, if you count Liechtenstein) by flying into Cologne, Germany and renting a car to travel to a tiny farm town named Kierspe. Going to the town that shares our last name has been on Chase's bucket list forever and it was SO FUN to knock that off!! We had to travel on the autobahn to get there which was an experience all in itself, but once we made it to Kierspe we quickly realized that there wasn't a whole lot here other than the Kierspe family crest and some cool road signs that said Kierspe! Haha but it sure was fun to walk around and explore the small downtown area, meet some locals and watch them laugh at us as they attempt to decipher our terrible German.
Hey you! If you are reading this then you are most likely coming to Tampa for the National Championship Game (or here already in which case Welcome :)) where Clemson University and some other team that will not be named are playing :) Let me just say we are so excited about that! YAYYYYY!!! When Clemson beat Ohio State last week we were ecstatic! Then we were even more excited when we realized that all our Clemson Tiger family will be heading to Tampa where we have lived for the past 2 and a half years !! Chase and I are hosting our parents, brother, grandmother, in-laws, and two other couple friends in our small rental home, which will be a little cray cray but also an absolute blast!! I know that this upcoming weekend will be jammed packed, and I would love to show each of you around individually, but think of this post as a "virtual tour" of things you should check out and restaurant recommendations just because I want you to get the most out of your experience in Tampa, and I know I always appreciate a good recommendation! :) Without further adieu, here are some of Chase and my favorite things to do in Tampa:
San Gimignano Day 5
Before going on our trip I asked a lot of people advice on where to go while in Italy. I had so many people tell me to check out San Gimignano as a day trip from Florence. So after doing some research we thought it might be a really fun trip to see a little bit of the Italian wine country (which we unfortunately couldn't fit into this trip but gives us an amazing excuse to come back) and it definitely didn't disappoint .
Once we arrived in Florence we quickly realized that we were not in small quaint town anymore, but in fact in a huge city with lots of cars and people. One of my first memories of Florence was walking up to the Duomo (the main cathothic church of Florence) and just being in awe of how massive and beautiful it is. The Duomo is located right in the heart of the city and can be seen from any street corner. That night before dinner we did a Rick Steves audio tour of Florence, grabbed dinner, and had some amazing gelato afterwards while seeing the Duomo lit up at night.

CHP is Recipient of the 2010 ENERGY STAR Award for Excellence in Energy-Efficient Affordable Housing
ENERGY STAR Awards are given to a variety of organizations to recognize their contribution to the construction of energy-efficient homes that benefit the environment, while providing homeowners with significant savings on utility bills and homes that are safer and more comfortable. Award winners are selected from more than 17,000 organizations that participate in
the ENERGY STAR program.
As a non-profit community development corporation, CHP designs, builds, and sells affordable, single and multifamily homes that are energy efficient and environmentally sustainable. In 2009 alone, CHP weatherized 833 multifamily housing units, developed an additional 180 units of affordable rental housing that were built to EarthCraft standards; and developed, designed, built, and sold 11 single family homes for EarthCraft or ENERGY STAR qualification. As part of CHP's minimum green design and building standards, all new and refurbished homes have ENERGY STAR appliances, windows, lighting fixtures, and heating systems. The organization also installs
insulation that exceeds building code requirements; seals its buildings' envelopes and duct systems; and provides homebuyers and renters with a green operations manual that explains how to take care of the energy efficiency features of their homes, how to save money on energy costs, and provides general education on how to reduce their own carbon footprint by living more
efficiently and thoughtfully on the planet.
"CHP's commitment to energy efficiency is three-fold: We work to reduce our carbon footprint and improve our environmental stewardship of the earth's natural resources; improve the financial sustainability of our company's real estate assets and to improve the cost-efficiency of the units to improve our residents' financial fitness and sustainability; and to improve the comfort and safety of all of our homes," said CHP's President and CEO Janaka Casper.
"Energy-efficient homes are an important step toward our nation's energy independence," said Gina McCarthy, EPA Assistant Administrator for Air and Radiation. "Partners like CHP are helping bring the benefits of ENERGY STAR homes to more than one million Americans. Residents of ENERGY STAR qualified homes enjoy increased comfort, lower energy bills and reduced maintenance costs."

The Strong As A Mother (SAAM) mini series, is the best of the full SAAM 12 Week program compressed into 6 in-person classes with video access and weekly email support through the whole summer.
We meet for the first 5 sessions May-June, have a break through July to work on your own with weekly home practice recordings, video classes, and weekly email support, then reconvene in August to check in and wrap things up.
Each class will be 75min instead of an hour, so that we can get a full hour of movement in PLUS 15 minutes of a more detailed workshop format to cover a lot of the educational pieces we can't always get to in detail in a typical hour long class (deeper exploration of anatomy, more hands on discussion of TA and DR, PF release work, more detailed assessments, alignment points, baby carrying, foot health, etc).
It's a full summer of moving, learning, and deep transformation with a lot of support and less class commitment at a lower cost.
$250 without a roller or $290 with.
6 class mini series includes:
- 6 75min in-person classes. (1hr movement, 15min for deeper exploration and talk based on the theme of class). 5 classes May- June, a break through July to practice on your own, and a final class mid August to wrap it up.

Wine, a family history
Joseph CASTAN
A family history
In 1907, Joseph Castan was a wine producer in the small Languedoc village of Lansargues. Throughout his life as a winemaker, he received numerous awards and medals attesting to the quality of the wines he produced. Wine was his passion and he put all his energy into producing it.
A century later, in 2007, his great grandson Vianney Castan, who shares the same passion for wine, founded his own wine trading company, Joseph Castan Fine Wine. Within just a few years, Joseph Castan Fine Wine had earned a reputation on the international market as an expert in wines from the South of France.
The love of wine is a shared passion
Vins de Pays, Vins de France, Appellations d'Origine: we ensure that the Joseph Castan signature is a guarantee of excellence and quality for all of our wines. We therefore have partnerships with over 30 domaines and châteaux from the South of France, each with their own unique style and identity.
This is a great opportunity for us to introduce, or re-introduce, our clients to high quality yet little known or rare wines as well as lesser known varietals such as a 100% Carignan. It has also enabled us to promote the wines, domaines, appellations and people dear to us and introduce them to new consumers.
We are passionate about our terroir and the wines it produces and therefore work exclusively with partners who share our passion and beliefs. Our wines are produced with respect for tradition yet with a mindset that is open to innovation, modernity and the use of the best techniques which allow us to produce such exceptional wines.
Wines to be enjoyed by all
We also want to share our passion with you. Our goal is to meet consumer demands for high quality yet easy-to- drink wines that can be enjoyed in their youth – wines for pleasure! Our wines are very accessible and can be enjoyed by wine novices and experts alike.
We therefore offer a range of wines to suit all tastes and occasions, from simple yet pleasant everyday wines, to superb little finds for a memorable drinking experience, and even prestigious, fine wines for special occasions.

Keeping Track of Children's Health Coverage and the ACA
Here at Texas Well and Healthy we are always striving to produce easy-to-understand materials about health care reform. Our partner KidsWell knows a thing or two about providing informative and clear resources on the Affordable Care Act—their brightly colored and highly visual website does a great job of sharing resources on children's health coverage and the ACA. Their website includes state-by-state summaries of health care reform implementation and campaigns impacting children's health and relevant weekly highlights from all fifty states. Visuals are often key in comprehending large amounts of data. KidsWell's National Spotlights feature provides interactive maps showcasing developments in health policy reform that are particularly relevant to advocates with an interest in child health. KidsWell also has a powerful health care reform search tool that will help you find all the latest health care reform information. You can search by keywords, state, topic, issuing agency and other criteria. Their database is updated each week so you know you're getting accurate, recent data.
Additionally, KidsWell coordinates over 30 children's advocacy organizations (including us) who are working to increase health insurance coverage for our nation's children and families. By helping advocacy organizations work together, and by using this website as a health reform information hub, KidsWell is building a lasting legacy of healthy children.
Texas Well and Healthy is proud to be a featured partner of the KidsWell Campaign this week. You can see where we are highlighted on their website's homepage. Take a moment to visit the site and check out their resources. You won't regret it!

Young Cruisers On Carnival Cruise Line This Summer Read An Astonishing 213 Million Dr. Seuss Words As Part Of Dr. Seuss's Word Challenge Aboard All 26 Ships
Part of Dr. Seuss Enterprises and Random House Children's Books first-ever Dr. Seuss's Word Challenge, Carnival's Fleetwide Program Highlighted by Read-A-Louds by Sports Stars in New Orleans, LA and Long Beach, CA
MIAMI (August 1, 2018) – As part of Dr. Seuss Enterprises and Random House Children's Books Dr. Seuss's Word Challenge to promote literacy, kids sailing aboard Carnival Cruise Line this summer read an astonishing 213 million Dr. Seuss words through fun, educational activities across the line's 26-ship fleet, helping to surpass the goal of 100 million Dr. Seuss words read during the campaign.
Events were highlighted by book readings to local children by New Orleans Saints tight end Ben Watson aboard Carnival Triumph in New Orleans and Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Kike Hernandez in Long Beach. Donning Dr. Seuss' signature striped hat, Watson and Hernandez gave spirited readings of the new Dr. Seuss classic "What Pet Should I Get?" while extolling the benefits of reading to hundreds of kids from local summer camps and social service organizations.
Young cruisers sailing on Carnival ships in June and July were also encouraged to read as many Dr. Seuss words as possible during summertime book reading sessions on board and then log their words and monitor their progress using a word tracker on Seussville.com. Children at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee – one of Carnival's favorite charitable partners – also participated and were treated to a special reading of "Oh, The Places You'll Go!" by hospital survivors.
All those who registered and entered their Dr. Seuss word count at Seussville.com before July 31 were also eligible to win a free Carnival cruise.
Dr. Seuss's Word Challenge is part of Seuss at Sea, Carnival's exclusive partnership with Dr. Seuss Enterprises that showcases the wonderful words and world of the famous children's author through family-oriented entertainment, youth activities and dining experiences. Dr. Seuss Enterprises and Random House Children's Books launched the first-ever Dr. Seuss's Word Challenge on May 29. Readers responded so quickly to the campaign and original goal of reading 20 million Dr. Seuss words that the goal was increased and expanded it to an incredible 100 million word goal.
"Carnival Cruise Line is the leader in family cruising carrying more than 800,000 kids a year and we're very proud to be the Official Seagoing Partner of Dr. Seuss's Word Challenge which serves to reinforce the importance of reading – even on vacation – in a fun and creative way," said Caroline Lombardi, director of youth programming for Carnival Cruise Line.
Added Susan Brandt, president of Dr. Seuss Enterprises, "Our Dr. Seuss's Word Challenge was one of our most successful literacy promotion programs ever and hats off to the kids of Carnival Cruise Line for doing their part and helping us surpass our goal by reading an amazing 213 million words at sea."
Launched in 2014, Seuss at Sea has become one of the most popular children's program in the travel industry and includes such fun activities as The Green Eggs and Ham Breakfast with The Cat in the Hat and Friends and the Seuss-a-Palooza Parade and Story Time, as well as character interactions, Dr. Seuss toys and games, and popular movies shown on board.
Dr. Seuss Bookville, a vibrant and colorful family reading venue, is also featured on select ships, including the new Carnival Horizon which debuted this year and also offers the first-ever Dr. Seuss water park at sea.

It is no secret that I am a fan of Stitch Fix, an online personalized styling service. It is fun and easy to receive a box full of high-quality clothes and accessories in the mail, try on everything in front of my own mirror, and send back what I don't want.
If you're curious about how Stitch Fix works, here you go:
Style Profile
The first thing you will do when you sign up for Stitch Fix is fill out the Style Profile.
Doing this will help your personal stylist understand your size, style, shape, budget, and lifestyle.
Schedule Your Fix
Select a day in the near future for your Fix to be delivered.
Before your Fix is styled, make sure to leave a note for your stylist. This is where you have the opportunity to share any specific items you are looking for. Are you going on a trip? Do you need new fashion for the season? Are you looking for date night attire? Whatever it is, let them know so you get your best Fix possible.
When your personal stylist selects items for you box, you will be charged a $20 styling fee. That $20 will be applied as a credit toward anything you keep from your shipment.
Receive Your Fix & Try On
One of the best things about Stitch Fix is that you get to try on everything in the comfort of your own home.
Make sure to try on each piece your stylist sends — you might be surprised what will look and feel great on you.
I also encourage you to create new outfits by pairing items you already own with what's in your Fix.
You have three days to decide what you want to keep.
Checkout by logging into your account online or on the Stitch Fix app to give your stylist feedback on each item in your shipment and pay for the items you want to keep. Providing a detailed response for each item is important because it helps your stylist better understand you and your style.
The $20 styling fee will be applied as credit toward any items you purchase. If you buy all five items, you'll get 25-percent off the entire purchase
Mail Back What You Don't Keep
Place the items you don't want into the prepaid mailer and drop it into any USPS mailbox.
There, it's that easy.
If you are ready to try Stitch Fix for yourself, feel free to use this affiliate link.
Disclosure: The opinions expressed here are my own. I receive compensation when you sign up for Stitch Fix using my affiliate link.
