Confiture de Fraises from Smaker's. Mixed Fruit from St. Dellfour. Pacific Mountain Tayberry from Dicklinson's. Classic Strawberry Conserve from Bonne Bonne Bonne. All preserves we've purchased and enjoyed in the past. Well, now we have a new style of jam-related enjoyment...
About this Project
At Last... Vegas is a weird-preserve RPG supplement set in the nightmarish circumstances of waiting patiently for something that frankly is never likely to happen, but you might as well be sweet, sticky and fruit-packed while you're waiting for it. If you've ever found yourself digging your way through the preserve section of a local supermarket in a the dead of night, stark naked with no recollection of how you got there or what you're looking for, this will suit you down to the ground. This project will help fund jam related RPG shenanigans. I will also make some jam!
Pledge Levels
£2 - Jammy Dodger - A copy of the Adventures in Jam in PDF including all achieved stretch goals
£5 - Jam Tart - A small sample of the jam i make, plus everything in the Jammy Dodger pledge level (limited to 20)
£15 - Jammy Bagger - A limited edition At Last.... Vegas dicebag (limited to 5)
£20 -Name that Jam - You have the honour of naming the jam that is made and sent to backers
Show Me The Money
Right now I'm asking for £100 to pay for the essentials (and definitely no holidays on the continent). If we fund all backers will receive a small PDF of jam related adventures, locations and NPCs. Obviously, the first draft of the supplement has been written for months and a pile of playtesting completed. More content will be added if we exceed our funding goal via stretch goals. I will commission UK gaming folk to add content and maybe even pay for some jam related art
The PDF
The basic PDF before we hit any stretch goals will contain at least two scenarios, a couple of location based encounters, a new jam related monster and a couple of recipes for you to try out with your jam. The two scenarios in the basic PDF are in and are entitled
The Jam Jar Crack'd - Murder stalks the set of a jam commercial film shoot in an idylic English village. The members of the local Neighbourhood Watch turn detective in an attempt to uncover the culprit before the fruit turns and the killer gets away. A simple investigation adventure based on the Gumshoe system.
World War Red -In the late twentieth century, scientists working for a sweet drinks company discovered a series of complex carbohydrate chains that melded together to form a self-replicating enzyme. This discovery had the potential to revolutionise the artificial sugar market and further research in the form of Project Preserve was authorised. Moral and Ethical concerns, as usual, were put aside in the pursuit of the greater good. Those working on the project were given explicit orders to violate Directive 79/693/EEC, 24 July 1979 in their methods
It is not known precisely when the addition of genetically modified ingredients was authorised, or the level to which these changes were detailed, but on the 24th of July 2009, forty years from the directive that governed the production of Jams, Project Preserve became self-aware.
When the shift change for the lab arrived on the evening of the 24th, they found all the scientists in a state of Ketoacidosis, with all samples missing from the lab. From the fevered remembrances of their addled minds, it was pieced together that at some point between 07:00 and 09:30 (timings varied due to scientists memories being addled by sugar), a small sample of strawberry jam began to move within it's petri dish. Doing the scientific thing (standing and watching) rather than the sensible thing (burning it with fire), the scientists watched till the Jam reared up and surveyed its surroundings, then in the manner of a caged animal being shown the door for the first time, it pounced…
When they awoke, all the samples within the lab were gone, several of the containers used to house the samples were also gone, and from the feverish imaginations of the guards at the exit, stories of glass jars strung together in almost humanoid form and bound with thick strands of malevolent conserve emerged.
Project Preserve was shut down immediately, with all details of the project and samples burned down, it was presumed that without access to a source of sugar to keep going, the Jam would soon consume itself and be no longer a threat.
They had not considered that the one thing that Preserves have is a great sense of Self Preservation, soon reports emerged of attacks by waves of Jam, sometimes wearing suits made out of tins and glass, wielding lid firing cannons and smothering their victims in waves of sticky doom, and mankind came to realise that its long love affair with sugar would soon come to an end.
And so began World War Red… A standalone game with rules for playing included

How Do I Get Started as a Developer? --With a Four-Plex.
Updated june 2, 2016
NOTE: The Limit on Nonresidential space in a 1-4 unit home financed with a FHA 203(b) mortgage was increase from 25% to 49% in September of 2015.
A question that I am hearing a lot from prospective developer/builders is "How do I get started?". One way to get started is with a Four Plex that you will also live in.
Over the last 10 months I have been digging into the details of the FHA four plex loan program and the FHA 203K Rehab and mortgage program which is available for 1-4 units as vehicles to help people get started. I will be presenting this Dallas this week at CNU 23 in the session with Monte Anderson at 9am on Thursday morning How to Build & Finance Small-Scale Incremental Urbanism, but here is the short version:
Goal = A rookie developer builds a 4 plex with a partner and buys it with an FHA 30 year mortgage. They establish a modest but credible track record while working on a lean project at low risk.
Project costs for the sake of this exercise = $600,000.
- Conventional 75% Loan To Cost (LTC) construction loan guaranteed by an investor who puts up $150,000 in equity (and has second position on the land and building after the bank's typical lien position).
- The rookie developer runs the project and earns a fee,( included in the $600K project cost) to support themselves for 8-12 months while the project is under construction.
The Investor has a contract to sell the Four Plex to the rookie developer for $650,000 and the rookie developer has pre-qualified for an FHA insured 30 year mortgage (FHA 203-b) with the following underwriting requirements:
- Borrower has 2 years of employment with stable or rising income.
- 3.5% down payment (which can be gifted funds).
- Reserves of 3 months PITI.
- Credit Score minimum 580 (640 is more the real world score for local bank underwriting with the FHA insurance).
- PITI cannot exceed 30% of borrower's gross income which includes 75% of the gross rent on the other three residential units.
- One of the four-plex units must be occupied by the borrower as their primary residence for at least 12 months.
- A maximum of 49% of the building floor area can be non-residential use. Appraiser will verify the non-residential use complies with local zoning.
Assuming a year for construction and lease up, the Investor/Guarantor would see a 35% IRR on an investment in a hard asset with minimal construction and leasing risk. The 30 year FHA mortgage as the take out loan is really straight forward. The rookie developer and the investor get to know each other in a low risk deal that takes 8-12 months.
The developer goes through the entire project arc and end up owning a building with some decent equity which they helped create. The developer has demonstrated their ability to get a project financed, built and occupied. They can live cheap while pursuing their next project (rent free) in a live/work that showcases what they can do. PDF of the FHA Underwriting Manual:
The FHA 203K approach could be similar for an existing building. You can use the FHA 203-k purchase/rehab loan to purchase an existing small apartment building of 5-6 small units that could be converted to a 4 plex as part of the renovation. FHA 203-k loans are set up to include the cost of renovations. Small apartment buildings are tough to finance with conventional commercial loans and tend to get rented to death, requiring a lot of work when they go up for sale. Unfortunately the 203-k loan can take 6-8 months to get approved.
The intent with both of these approaches is a low risk entry into development and building with the rookie developer fully engaged and gaining experience in all aspects of a project in a compressed arc.

Title: The Young Elites
Author: Marie Lu
Genre: Fantasy | Young Adult
Series: The Young Elites #1
Publisher: G.P. Putnam's Sons Books for Young Readers
Publication Date: 7 October 2014
Paperback: 355 pages
Source: Purchased
Synopsis: I am tired of being used, hurt, and cast aside.
Adelina Amouteru is a survivor of the blood fever. A decade ago, the deadly illness swept through her nation. Most of the infected perished, while many of the children who survived were left with strange markings. Adelina's black hair turned silver, her lashes went pale, and now she has only a jagged scar where her left eye once was. Her cruel father believes she is a malfetto, an abomination, ruining their family's good name and standing in the way of their fortune. But some of the fever's survivors are rumored to possess more than just scars—they are believed to have mysterious and powerful gifts, and though their identities remain secret, they have come to be called the Young Elites.
Teren Santoro works for the king. As Leader of the Inquisition Axis, it is his job to seek out the Young Elites, to destroy them before they destroy the nation. He believes the Young Elites to be dangerous and vengeful, but it's Teren who may possess the darkest secret of all.
Enzo Valenciano is a member of the Dagger Society. This secret sect of Young Elites seeks out others like them before the Inquisition Axis can. But when the Daggers find Adelina, they discover someone with powers like they've never seen.
Adelina wants to believe Enzo is on her side, and that Teren is the true enemy. But the lives of these three will collide in unexpected ways, as each fights a very different and personal battle. But of one thing they are all certain: Adelina has abilities that shouldn't belong in this world. A vengeful blackness in her heart. And a desire to destroy all who dare to cross her.
It is my turn to use. My turn to hurt.
Rating: ♚½ -Damn near perfect
If I'd to describe this book in one word, that would be beyond awesome. Wait, that's two words. Whatever.
The Young Elites is not without its flaws, but the awesome characters and (almost) unpredictable plot made up for that. This book is different from most books in the YA community these days for the main character, Adelina Amouteru, is physically scarred; she's missing an eye. Also, she isn't a pure and good heroine. She's a VILLAIN. (Technically, she's the hero in this book, and the main villain is Teren)
I am Adelina Amouteru, the phantoms whispered to my father, speaking my most frightening thoughts in a chorus of voices, dripping with hatred. My hatred. I belong to no one. On this night, I swear to you that I will rise above everything you've ever taught me. I will become a force that this world has never known. I will come into such power that none will dare hurt me again.
But I LOVE her. To be honest, I'm kind of scared of her.
Though Adelina may not seem like a villain in the first few chapters, she became more villainous as the story progresses. Adelina isn't afraid to
hurt kill and actually enjoys killing.
My fury heightens. Everyone. They will cower at my feet, and I will make them bleed.
She's the kind of strong characters that YA stories seemed to be lacking. Sure, she did seem a bit weak in some parts, but her other personalities made up for that. What I like best about Adelina is her complexity. Like I said, she isn't a pure and good character, but a villain. She is twisted and filled with so much darkness. And we're supposed to hate villains with all our hearts. Yet, I can relate to her and sympathize her.
Her history is very interesting too. We've read about characters with horrible pasts, but Adelina's is quite different. Her past is not only horrible but dark and gritty.
So, yes, Adelina is definitely my favorite character in The Young Elites.
Of course, she fell in love with the lead male character, Enzo Valenciano. I feel that Enzo didn't have as much depth as Adelina, though he's one of the main characters. He's just… flat. At least he's realistic. It's the same with the secondary characters. Raffaele, though a little creepy, is flat. Violetta, Adelina's sister, has a little more depth, but still flat.
Teren Santoro, on the other hand, is complex. He's the main villain, apart from Adelina. He didn't have as much darkness as Adelina, but he's way more twisted than her. He's a nutcase who was so obsessed with the young Queen Giulietta that he would do anything (like, anything) for her.
Teren looked up into her eyes with desperation and desire. She was so pretty. Delicate, heart-shaped face framed with dark curls. Royal blood. Not a hint of a marking on her. Perfection. "I would pledge anything to you, Your Highness. My life. My sword. I am yours."
I hated Teren and wanted him to die, but for some reasons, I also didn't want him to.
Let's talk about relationships between the characters.
The romance is light, but there were some steamy and sexy scenes between Adelina and Enzo. Not sexually graphic scenes. I'm talking about scenes which have so much intensity that it might make you feel a little uncomfortable.
It's rare to find a platonic relationship between a female character and a male character in YA novels these days, especially when the male character is described as beautiful.That's something unique and refreshing to read about.
I absolutely love the relationship between Adelina and her sister. While Adelina loves Violetta and would protect her sister, to the point where she betrayed her newfound Dagger Society friends to Teren, a small part of Adelina was jealous of her. Because she receives care and attention from their father, while Adelina gets scorn and anger. The love-hate relationship between the sisters definitely intrigued me.
Another thing which I like about this book is the writing. Lu's writing is so easy to read. The narrative is addictive and natural. I could NOT put the book down. There were times when it was a bit rough, though. The ending took me off guard. I didn't expect someone to die. And that someone was Enzo. I didn't feel much connection to him, but when he died, my mouth fell open. Literally.
I skip to the last few pages of the book and read them,
hoping praying that Enzo somehow reincarnated or something. When he didn't, I almost didn't want to continue reading.
While I highly enjoy the characters and the story, I felt The Young Elites lacks in world building. The story is set in a world with a Renaissance Italy feel to it. There were some descriptions of the various places, but I didn't feel like I'm inside the fantasy world. Hopefully, there would be more world building in the next installment of the series.
Overall, The Young Elites is a dark and gritty story which centers around Adelina (It seemed like the stories always centers around the main characters, don't they?). The book has it flaws which I can't ignore, like the underdeveloped secondary characters and lack of world building. Still, I find this book highly entertaining and I cannot recommend it enough.
The cover for The Young Elites could have been so much better. The current one looked like a text slapped over a simple background image.

Win over San Diego could be good sign for Gonzaga baseball team
Fri., April 6, 2012
Mark Machtolf knows there are too many quality baseball teams in the West Coast Conference for his Gonzaga team to concern itself over three games this early in league play.
But if the opener of this weekend's series against No. 19 San Diego is any kind of indication of where the Bulldogs stand in the conference's pecking order, they're off to a good start.
Gonzaga took the first game of a three-game series Thursday in San Diego, winning 6-2 behind a complete-game outing from starting pitcher Tyler Olson.
The Toreros (23-8, 5-2 WCC) were picked to win the WCC in a preseason poll of the conference's coaches, with Gonzaga right behind and last season's champion, San Francisco, coming in third.
All of which means little right about now. But this weekend's series certainly means something to Gonzaga, even if it won't go particularly far in determining whether they can put last season's near-miss behind them in search of this year's WCC title.
"It can be," said Machtolf, asked if this weekend could serve as a barometer of where Gonzaga stands in relation to the WCC's other title contenders. "San Diego is picked to be right up there, no doubt, and they've been playing well, so it is a barometer a little bit. We're going to have to play well, but San Diego's right there with a number of other teams."
Perhaps most encouraging about Thursday's win was Gonzaga's ability to continue its offensive roll. The Bulldogs scored 30 runs in a three-game series against Pepperdine last weekend, then racked up 21 hits in a 9-3 win over Washington State on Tuesday.
Thursday, they dinged San Diego starter Calvin Drummond for four runs on eight hits in 6 1/3 innings, the biggest blow a two-out, two-RBI single by catcher Maxx Garrett after a long at-bat in the fourth inning that gave Gonzaga a 3-1 lead.
Senior outfielder Royce Bolinger also extended his hitting streak to 14 with a fifth-inning home run, his eighth of the season. That's already one better than the career-best seven he hit as a sophomore.
"We've got a few guys that aren't feeling real great so there's a lot of room for improvement (offensively)," Machtolf said. "It is encouraging to see that we've swung the bat much better."
The teams will play again this afternoon and Saturday, then travel to Seattle for games Monday and Tuesday against Washington, which will mark a span of six games in eight days. Gonzaga beat Washington State 9-3 on Tuesday thanks to 21 hits.
"It does have an impact," Machtolf said of going on the road after playing a midweek game. "The whole challenge is to get enough pitching to last through the midweek. That makes it difficult when you're playing for a championship during the weekend, but most teams have that same problem."
It wasn't a problem Thursday.
Around the area
Washington State continues its three-game nonconference series against Seattle University today after taking a 2-1 win from the Redhawks in the bottom of the ninth Thursday, freshmen infielder Ian Sagdal driving in the winning run with a sacrifice fly. The Cougars (14-12, 3-5 Pac-12) won't play another conference game until Utah comes to Bailey-Brayton Field for a three-game series beginning April 13. … WSU senior Derek Jones is one home run away from tying the school's career record. He's hit 39, seven this season, two last week when he was named Pac-12 Player of the Week for the third time in his career. He was batting .407 this season before Thursday's 1-for-3 performance at the plate. … Whitworth (14-10-1, 8-4) begins a three-game series against Lewis & Clark (3-12, 6-25) today. The Pirates are in fifth place in the Northwest Conference, though just two games back of first-place Pacific (Ore.). Tyler Pfeffer leads the Pirates with a .379 batting average, seven homers and 34 RBIs.

Catherine Ichniowski-Ritter discusses the source text of CUAdrama's upcoming dramatic presentation of The Annunciation in collaboration with CUA's Honoring Mary Festival.
The Wakefield Corpus Christi Cycle is a collection of plays that encompass the biblical stories of the creation, fall, and redemption of man. The surviving medieval text from Wakefield dates from about the late 1400's, or earlier, and was performed in the town of Wakefield in Yorkshire. There are similar texts from the towns of York and Chester, as well as a text called the N-Town cycle that historians theorize traveled among smaller English towns; "N" stands for "nomen," a medieval version of [insert town name here].
By the end of the sixteenth century, these plays were extraordinarily popular. They helped disseminate church teachings to a largely illiterate population; because they were composed from biblical and non-biblical texts they often helped fill gaps in the Bible's narrative; and they also served to celebrate the real presence of the body of Christ in the Eucharist at a time when the principle of transubstantiation was a relatively new addition to church doctrine. At times reverent and solemn, at others bawdy and celebratory, performances could last anywhere from 24-72 hours, featuring elaborate sets, paid actors (evidenced in the York house books), and financial, material, and human resources from every guild in town.
The Annunciation embodies the solemn/religious and festival/celebratory spirit of the medieval Corpus Christi pageant; Mary appears, reverent and pure, alongside Joseph, portrayed as an old man who speaks largely in innuendos, complaining about "kids these days." This combination of the divine and the human speaks to an inherent complexity in these ancient play texts that mirrors an equally complex perception of religion, divinity, and humanity in medieval Europe.

In advance of 2019's Grammy awards, airing this Sunday, February 10, Apple has shared three new Apple Music ads on its YouTube channel. Each minute-long ad is a music video wherein well known artists are represented in Memoji form. One video features Ariana Grande, another Khalid, and the final one Florida Georgia Line.
Last year Apple shared music videos featuring Animoji ahead of the Grammys, so this year's decision to use Memoji is a natural evolution following iOS 12's debut in September.
Although Animoji Karaoke hasn't caught on much in broader culture despite commercials like these, it's still fun seeing Apple highlight one of iOS' more whimsical features alongside its music service.

Sand Springs senior Daton Fix defeats #2 wrestler in nation 8-2/
By: Scott Emigh, Editor-in-Chief
Charles Page High School senior and three-time undefeated Oklahoma State Champion Daton Fix made his third performance at the Flowrestling "Who's Number One?" showcase dual at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania this Sunday.
The 132-pound senior attained the number one high school ranking in the nation earlier this summer after New Jersey State Champion Nick Suriano graduated. Fix had been ranked second to Suriano since losing 3-1 in 2014 at the event. That year the two wrestlers set the all-time record for longest recorded match in world history at the high school level, going more than 26 minutes into overtime.
By 2015, the Penn State commit had moved up to 132 pounds while Fix remained at 126 and earned the number one rank. That year he took on Illinois State Champion, FloNational Runner-Up No. 2 ranked Rudy Yates and defeated him 5-3. Not long after, Fix moved up to 132 and trailed Suriano till he graduated this past May.
This year Fix battled it out with Iowa State commit Austin Gomez, a two-time Illinois State Champion, Fargo National Champion, and two-style Pan-American Cadet Champion. This was the fourth matchup between the two wrestlers this year. Fix defeated Gomez with a 10-0 tech fall at the United World of Wrestling Junior Freestyle Nationals, then dealt him back-to-back tech falls at the UWW Junior Freestyle World Team trials. The folkstyle bout was a lot closer, but still went to Fix by clear 8-2 decision.
Fix was previously on a 68-straight winning streak before falling 2-1 to Mukhambet Kuatbek at the Spanish Grand Prix, a senior-level event in Madrid. He then dropped a 9-6 decision to Khasankhusein Badrudinov at the Junior World Championships in Macone, France before winning his next three matches to claim his second World Bronze Medal. His new winning streak is only up to 4-0 for now, but with the High School season right around the corner, you can expect the young stud to post some impressive numbers as he works toward being the only four-time State Champion in Sand Springs history.

I tried these Churros for the first time as a bit of an experimental dessert when having a 'Mexican' themed dinner party. I was a little apprehensive about making them since I'd never eaten a Churro before and didn't really know what I was aiming for! Also, it all needs to be made just before serving, so this meant a pressure whilst the guests waited for their sweets…
This recipe is based on a highly rated 'Allrecipe' one but with a few adjustments based on comments and recommendations made by reviewers. Since I made a few tweaks, I've decided it's best to post the recipe I went with. It makes 8 servings…
- 2 cups of water
- 2 tbs white sugar
- 2 tbs vegetable oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 cups plain flour
- Oil for frying
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
Method: (Taken directly from website)
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine water, 2 tablespoons sugar, salt and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Bring to a boil and remove from heat. Stir in flour until mixture forms a ball.
- Heat oil for frying in deep-fryer or deep skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Pipe strips of dough into hot oil using a pastry bag. Fry until golden; drain on paper towels.
- Combine 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon. Roll drained churros in cinnamon and sugar mixture.
I started off piping the batter through a star nozzle in a silicone piping bag. I read a tip that it's easier to pipe the churros onto a piece of cling film first as it is difficult to pipe them straight into the oil. This was a great tip as the dough was very stiff! So stiff in fact that the nozzle came out of my piping bag and I ended up with plain round ones.
I'd definitely recommend piping them with the star nozzle as the thin edges crispen up nicely and add an extra crunchy texture to the final product.
Caramel Chocolate Sauce
Churros are usually served with a chocolate dipping sauce, and I wanted to try a them with a thick caramel chocolate so played around with the recipe a little…
- 200g dark chocolate
- 100g brown sugar
- 100ml double cream
- large pinch of sea salt flakes
- In a medium pan make a caramel by heating the sugar until it turns into liquid and then a dark caramel colour
- Add the salt, cream and chocolate
- Reduce the heat and stir until all the chocolate has melted
- Pour into the serving bowls and allow to cool to room temperature
On cooling this chocolate dipping sauce will thicken a lot! If refrigerated it will harden and any leftovers can be used to make truffles. This chocolate sauce was a little bitter, adding more cream would lighten it up a little more.
I decided to make chocolate dipped strawberries too so dipped the strawberries into the chocolate sauce and put them in the fridge to harden. 😀

Flamethrowers, The
Rachel Kushner
Flamethrowers, The
A Novel A Novel
Release Date: 4/2/2013
From the bestselling author whose debut novel, Telex from Cuba, was nominated for a National Book Award and reviewed on the cover of The New York Times Book Review comes an extraordinarily ambitious new novel about a young artist and the worlds she encounters in New York and Rome in the mid-1970s—by turns underground, elite, dangerous.
The year is 1977 and Reno—so-called because of the place of her birth—has come to New York intent on turning her fascination with motorcycles and speed into art. Her arrival coincides with an explosion of activity in the art world—artists have colonized a deserted and industrial Soho, are squatting in the East Village, and blurring the line between life and art. Reno falls in with group of dreamers and raconteurs who submit her to a sentimental education of sorts. She begins an affair with an artist named Sandro Valera, the semi-estranged scion of an Italian tire and motorcycle empire. When they visit Sandro's family home in Italy, Reno falls in with members of the radical movement that overtook Italy in 1977. Betrayal sends her reeling into a clandestine undertow.
The Flamethrowers is a fearless novel, an intensely engaging exploration of the mystique of the feminine, the fake, the terrorist. In the center of it all is Kushner's brilliantly realized protagonist, a young woman on the verge.
"Kushner is rapidly emerging as a thrilling and prodigious novelist."—Jonathan Franzen, author of Freedom

Single mother Malika "Pumpkin" Tavares lost faith in fairytales after she fell for a toad. Now she believes she's not cut from the storybook, heroine cloth and searches for Mr. Good Enough amongst the sidekicks and supporting men of the town.
Love at first sight isn't a cliche for town royalty Armand "Manny" Charmayne. For generations the Charmaynes have spotted their soulmates by seeing a golden aura the first time they laid eyes on The One.
Pumpkin turned and stopped in her tracks. Not because of the near collision, but
because of the Adonis who stood before her. Tall and lean with dark, thick curls atop hishead. But it was his eyes that arrested Pumpkin. They took her back to her teen years,watching Donnie Simpson on Video Soul; or farther back to Smokey Robinson doo-wopping with The Miracles. They were a pale gray. And he smelled... edible. Like freshbaked, butter croissants sprinkled with earthy spices.
"Excuse me," he repeated, with a slight Southern drawl that was more refined than lazy. He prolonged his vowels just enough to let you know he was Southern, but theconsonants he pronounced perfectly. "Are you Heather?"
And of course, he was looking for someone else. "No, my name is Malika."
He looked at her and squinted. Then his eyes rolled past her up the steps of the
Department of Family And Child Services building. "Oh, sorry. I thought you could havebeen one of my volunteers." He stepped away, clearing her path to the entrance.
I thought you could have been one of my volunteers.
Pumpkin looked beyond him to see a voter registration table.
I thought you could have been one of my volunteers.
Part of her knew she should simply walk into the DFACS building to find her cousins andher son, because who knew? LaRon and LaTom could've let him go to the bathroom byhimself and just forgotten about him —again. But another part of Pumpkin smarted. He'dtaken one glance at her, paired it with her Eubonic-consonant-rich name, added it to hercurrent location, and come away with an incorrect assumption.
"You know, I could have been yours," she said.
He turned back. "Mine?"
"I mean, I have done something like this before."
"Something... with me?"
"No! I've never met you before."
He opened his mouth to speak, thought better of it, then started again. "What exactly are we talking about?"
This was not going the way she'd planned. But what exactly had she planned when she opened her mouth? Her filter malfunction needed to be repaired soon.
Pumpkin took a deep breath, clearly aware of his smokey eyes watching her with... was that wariness or amusement? Growing up in her family, she had trouble deciphering the two.
"I mean, I have been a volunteer. I've done a voter registration drive before."
Having cleared up that misjudgment, Pumpkin assumed the conversation was over. Only, he looked doubtful at her proclamation.
Pumpkin gave her internal filter a kick. In response it sputtered, "I organized it, actually."
Pumpkin gave it a mental shove to keep quiet. And then, "It was very successful, actually."
"Where did the drive you organized —successfully— take place?"
"Oh," she said. "At my school. My college —university, actually. Louisiana State University."
"I know LSU," he grinned.
Good. Grinning meant amused. He had a nice grin, Smokey Eyes. Straight white teeth. Plump lips that stretched wide. Maybe a little too wide. Almost big bad wolf wide.
"Well," she said. "There's a community college with the name Louisiana so..."
"You have a problem with community colleges?"
"No! I just... I just wanted to make sure you knew... which one I meant." Pumpkin wouldn't have thought it possible, but his grin stretched even wider.
"My opinion matters to you that much?"
Definitely a wolf.
Then, in confirmation, his eyes slipped from her face and did a quick assessment of her body: the B-cups she no longer bothered to pad, the stubborn muffin top she'd given up on a year ago, the wide hips that looked voluptuous on her cousins but pear-shaped on her.
"I don't even know you," Pumpkin said. And she had no intention of getting to know him.
Wolves blocked the paths of good girls whether in the forest or on the road of life.
Pumpkin had no intention of getting jammed up by a man, ever again.
"Yet, within sixty seconds of meeting me," he said, "you offered to be mine."
"No I... That was a misunderstanding, and you know it."
A chuckle escaped through that predatory grin. The sound rumbled through Pumpkin's body like a divining rod sensing danger.
"I'm sorry, Malika."
But then, with the sound of her name on his lips, the humming of the rod ceased. All previous warning signals muted and Pumpkin's feet took root in the concrete.
"It's been a long day," he smiled and a small sigh escaped his lips at the same time.
She'd read the term Cupid's Bow in romance novels, but the visual didn't do the term justice. The top of his upper lip, where you'd handle the bow was in the shape of a perfectly symmetrical M. Stretched in a smile, his full bottom lip made her wonder what it would be like to get caught in the crosshairs of his kiss.
"I couldn't resist having a little fun with you. I hope I haven't kept you."
Pumpkin took her eyes off his lips to gaze into his smokey eyes. A smile started to creep over her face, too. "No, you haven't kept me."
"You'd better hurry. I'm sure they're about to close soon."
"Yeah... wait. What?" Pumpkin followed his gaze to the DFACS entrance. Everything unmuted and red flashed behind her eyes. "I just told you, I went to college."
"Oh?" His gray eyes furrowed this time. "So, people with degrees don't fall on hard times?"
"Well... yes. They do. But I'm fine," she insisted, tapping her new shoes on the pavement for emphasis. "I have a job." A job that she hated, but it paid all her bills. No government checks came for her and Seth. No child support checks either.
"So, you're not here to volunteer to help. And you're not here seeking help. What? Are you here to gloat?"
He chuckled again, but Pumpkin was no longer amused.
"I've taken advantage of some social programs, like federal grants for the university I attended while on academic scholarship." Pumpkin conveniently neglected to mention that her childhood kitchen had been stocked from food stamp monies. "But I'm not gloating about my successes because I'm resentful that this society assumes that I can't succeed without its help."
He cocked his head, eyes intent on her. "So, you'd rather the rules be unfair and harder for you so that you can save face?"
Pumpkin blinked. "No, that's not what I mean."
What did she mean? How did she get into this conversation? All her life, Pumpkin typically kept her opinions to herself. It had been the safest way to navigate her adolescent and teenage years in a household where the family motto read: everyone for themselves.
"You know how they say if you give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day," she continued. "But if you teach a man to fish, he'll eat forever?"
Smokey Eyes nodded.
Pumpkin hesitated, realizing he was actually listening to every word she said, and waiting for her to say more.
Why not? Her internal filter had taken the day off. "I think the flaw with social programs is that the poor start to believe they can't do for themselves without it and the rich believe the poor can't act without their help. And it winds up being a vicious cycle with each side resenting the other."
Pumpkin glanced at the DFACS door remembering her son was still inside with two professional "cyclists." She turned back to Smokey Eyes.
He stared up at the clouds in concentration. She could see him turning her words over in his head. It gave her a thrill. She was used to men leering at her body, because, though her curves weren't artful like her cousins', they were round enough to grab attention.
Watching Smokey Eyes focus inward and contemplate her words was possibly the most intimate experience of her thirty years.
After a moment, his tongue peeked out, like an arrow, to pull taut his upper lip.
Pumpkin's own lips parted as a quiver went through her long dormant core. Any moment now, he would aim words at her.
Any moment now.
Turning his gray eyes back to her, he said, "I do see your point. But I also feel that with great wealth comes great responsibility. And if you've caught a lot of fish, you should share. It's good manners. It's how I was raised."
Pumpkin gave a woeful shake of her head at that. "I was raised by people who wouldn't fish; would take yours; and then demand you go get more."
"But not you."
It wasn't a question. There was something behind those smokey eyes. Not empathy. He was obviously moneyed, in his expensive shirt and tailored pants, where Pumpkin's teen closet had been sponsored by Goodwill, and her adult closet now sported Target.
"Me? No," she said holding his gaze.
"And you wouldn't ask for any food off my table? Even if I'm willing to share?"
It seemed like a trick question. On the one hand, Pumpkin harbored an image of him feeding her bits of food. On the other hand, "Is there something wrong with a woman who is self-sufficient?"

Scheana Shay was criticized when she expressed her feelings over the cost of Katie Maloney-Schwartz's bridal shower, but now she is explaining why she was really upset.
"It was tacky. I shouldn't have brought it up to Katie," she said during a recent interview with SiriusXM's Conversations with Maria Menounos. "We were in a conversation. It was just kind of like word vomit."
But Scheana says she still finds the cost of the event outrageous. "I'm sorry, a three-hour bridal shower should not cost three grand. That's insane to me. Like, that's just crazy. And to think we're going to split it three ways because we make more money out of the bridesmaids, that's also not fair. I didn't agree to that," Scheana said. "I could have also gotten us a beautiful house for free. We could have had it at a gorgeous patio in a restaurant for free. So it was frustrating to me."
Scheana also explained she was really upset because she was experiencing issues with her husband, Mike Shay. "I never meant to get Katie involved in that. It was very tacky. I agree with everyone who tweeted me about that. It was just I was at a breaking point with so many things this past summer, and a lot of things just came out wrong," she said. "He's running up my credit card bills and taking money out of our savings account and all of this. So I'm like, I can't afford to spend thousands of dollars on a bridal shower when my husband's already taking it from me."

Well, the campaign is officially OVER. In a matter of two [very] short months, we've raised $1,320 to fund our upcoming record Love And Fear. We didn't hit our target, but it's way more than I would have thought we would have raised. We've seen two interviews about the record and the campaign by two fantastic individuals I'm privileged to call friends. We've had people spreading the word. Most importantly, we've had Christ clearing the path ahead of us.
While we won't be able to do every little thing we wanted with what we raised, we're not gonna stop. It just might take a little something extra from us, and that's completely okay. We expected that going into it.
But what has been given already has been a huge financial burden lifted from what it would take to make the record.
I can't thank you enough for what you have done by sharing the campaign, donating, and praying for God's will. It has meant everything. The fact that a bunch of amazing people have my back on this makes me realize just how good I have it. The fact that God saw fit to make this happen is such an encouraging thing to have. Consider my gratitude checked.
While the IndieGoGo is closed, if for some reason you still feel like helping out, just shoot me a direct message and I can fill you in on what all it happening and open up the same perks we've made available over the past couple of months.
You guys have absolutely no idea what you mean to me. Thank you for believing in me and for your continued support.

How is it already June?! I've never felt like a year was flying by as much as 2018 has been so far. I can't believe it's been five full months since I moved...
While the goals I set for myself at the start of the year are still very much important to me, lately I've been admiring something that Kate over at Greatest Escapist does. Each month, she lists out some small goals and reviews how she did on her list from the previous month. She does this in place of any big resolutions but I kind of like the idea of identifying some things that are more "bite-sized" versions of my 2018 goals. Baby steps, and all that jazz. So I thought I'd give it a try!
Bite-Sized Goals for June
Find a budgeting option that I actually like. I tried to give YNAB a chance earlier this year, but it was way too complex for me and I promptly stopped using it. I need something convenient (aka has an app) but that basically just functions like a spreadsheet.
Practice my photography regularly. After weeks of eyeing eBay listings and obsessively comparing reviews, I finally bit the bullet on an Amazon Warehouse deal... and picked up a beautiful Fujifilm X100F. I fell out of the habit of taking photos as a hobby when my iPhone surpassed my ancient DSLR in quality, but I miss it.
Write at least one other blog post this month. I keep taking photos & making notes with the intention to write blog posts about them, but never get around to it...
Save eating out for actual occasions! I have been so busy lately that I've fallen into old habits and started ordering in when I'm too tired/lazy/haven't managed to get to the grocery store in two weeks. I've got some big plans to save money for, and want to kick this bad habit for good.
Read (or at least start) the next book on Modern Library's Top 100. I haven't read a book off this list since 2016. At this rate I will definitely be dead before finishing the list, so it's time to get back on the horse.
Work out or do something active at least 3x/week. I don't want to hold myself to actual workouts, but this is more to ensure that I keep it moving. The weather is FINALLY nice here and I want to enjoy it!
I will check back in at the beginning of next month with an update on how I did and some more bite-sized goals if I manage to stick with some of these!
One other small note that's not a goal, but kinda relevant - I actually just went through some older posts (dating back to 2015!) and realized that they were really... just fine. I maniacally hid them late last year when I "relaunched" this blog for the umpteenth time because I didn't think they were "good enough", but that's stupid. Since my motto this year is all about just doing my best vs. holding out for perfection, I've republished all of them and thus doubled the content on this blog. So that's something, I guess!

(Another) Year of Realizing Things
The great 21st century philosopher Kylie Jenner once said "I feel, like, this year is really about, just the year of realizing things" and the youngest Jenner was not wrong. As every year passes by I realize more and more who I am and where I am meant to go.
This was the year I realized the importance of creating strong foundations in order to build something great. This is only the beginning of a long journey. The only person I will have my entire life is myself, and I intend to continue making myself my first priority in order to be of use to those around me.
Unlike other years, I used this year to spend time alone, intentionally skipping events and choosing to do more low-key things. I realized that I didn't miss any of it. The people that will last (and are deserving of my effort) are people I can incorporate into my life seamlessly. This can look like buying groceries with my super busy friends so that we can see each other and catch up before we both have to head out on our separate ways to whatever else is on our to do list.
Most importantly, I learned the importance of doing what I love and playing to my strengths. There is enough room at the table for everybody to eat, there is really nothing stopping me from success. I acknowledge my privileges, like having parents that let me take a year off to build my own education and allowing me to skip grad school. I threw away my lifelong plan of pursuing a degree beyond a bachelors and I decided to go into a field that I was naturally drawn to. Not everyone is afforded that privilege and I am beyond humbled, grateful, and indebted to my parents for allowing me to be me.
The best relationship is the one I have with myself, so I hope to continue to express myself as boldly as possible. We're all meant to shine~ we can't be afraid of that <3

June 20 is World Refugee Day, highlighting the plight of millions of refugees around the world. Global Advance's partners on the front lines often find themselves in the midst of crisis areas, either by circumstance or by intent. Today got me thinking about some of these hot spots and the impact of loving vulnerable people for Jesus' sake.
Hundred's of thousands of people have been displaced by unchecked military aggression against minorities. Refugees have fled to Bangladesh to the west and Thailand to the east. Global Advance has partners on the ground meeting the physical and spiritual needs of refugees.
North Korea
North Koreans on work visas in nearby countries are constrained in brutal living and working conditions, watched over by North Korean military guards. In their own country North Koreans - and especially Christians - live like refugees under a broken economic system and tyrannical government. Bringing them food, Bibles, and the love of Christ, Global Advance's partners risk beatings and imprisonment for sharing their faith with compassion.
Syrians have come close to embodying the term "refugee" through years of intense media coverage of the millions fleeing the Syrian conflict. Reaching Muslims with the gospel and strengthening the faith of Syrian Christians, our partners have been working on the edge of, and even in the midst of, the war zone to bring hope to the hurting.
South Sudan
From it's establishment as an independent nation several years ago, South Sudan has wrestled with civil war and famine. Terrorized by years of guerrilla warfare tactics, people are afraid to go to their fields to farm. The recent harvest time brought the lowest crop ever for the young nation. With millions at risk of starvation, our partners are reaching the most marginalized with food, education, and the gospel.
Incredible tragedies persist in Yemen, North Africa, and South America as well. Continue to pray with us for opportunities to share the glorious gospel with those in need, and for the chance to extend care through the loving hands of local Christian leaders.

Corvias Residents get new cardboard recycling drop-off
Corvias residents can now support DFMWR events and activities thanks to new cardboard recycling pilot program. The drop-off point, in the Dogwood Housing community, is possible by the collaboration of Corvias Military Living, Red River Waste Solutions, Net Zero Waste 2020 and the JRTC & Fort Polk Recycling Center. All residents are encouraged to recycle extra cardboard at the 24-hour location on Hall Court.
Residents can recycle cardboard that does not fit their blue curbside recycling bins at the new drop-off point. PCS moves and excess stored cardboard are ideal for the drop-off site. The Garrison Commander requested the program to better serve Housing residents. The partnership offers a solution for collection of extra cardboard that supports quality of life programs and activities for Soldiers and family members at JRTC & Fort Polk.
Collected cardboard is brought to the JRTC & Fort Polk Recycling Center. The profits from the sale of recyclable material at the recycling center is returned to the installation. The profits maintain equipment and personnel requirements, fund pollution prevention projects and support DFMWR activities. Recycling funded Freedom Fest fireworks, the 2014 Brantley Gilbert concert and the Annual Catfish Derby. Fort Polk's Garrison Commander hopes to see more cardboard collection sites in each of the Housing neighborhoods with the completion of a successful pilot. Residents are asked to recycle their extra cardboard at this new collection site to support Fort Polk's Net Zero Waste 2020 initiative.
Utility moratorium and Live Army Green
We would like to take this opportunity to clear up any misconception concerning the end of the utility moratorium. Due to the duct and insulation upgrades for all homes that needed it, it was decided by Corvias and Garrison that the moratorium would no longer be needed. These upgrades will help increase the comfort level for residents in these homes by keeping cool air in and providing better circulation in the home.
As you may know, BAH includes components of rent and utilities. However, according to the Live Army Green initiative, if a home's utility usage is above a monthly established baseline the resident will be responsible for the difference. If usage is below the monthly baseline, the resident would receive a rebate.
You will not have to pay the entire utility bill out of pocket, only the difference between your actual usage and the monthly baseline. The baseline is a real-time average based on current weather conditions. By using the current month's average usage as the baseline, weather is automatically accounted for. During a hot summer, the baseline will move up accordingly, as everyone will be using more utilities to cool their home.
How is this calculated?
- Baseline Calculation – The baseline is recalculated monthly by taking like homes, removing vacant homes, faulty data and the top and bottom homes, and then averaging the consumption.
- Buffer – Any resident consuming an amount that is above the baseline by 10% or less will not be billed. Any resident consuming an amount that is more than 10% above the baseline will be billed for the difference between the baseline (average) and their actual consumption.
- Trigger Point – All bills and credits will be subject to a minimum $25 Trigger Point. If the amount owed or the amount of the rebate for conservation is less than $25, that amount will accrue to the next month. Once any amount is $25 or greater, a bill will be generated or a rebate check will be issued.
Approximately 80% of all households enrolled in the Live Army Green program either have no monthly bill or receive a rebate check each month.
If you have any additional questions about these changes, please click here or contact your Corvias Community Center.
NEW! Make your payments online 24/7
We are excited to announce big changes are happening with payment options for residents at Corvias Military Living. You now have online and mobile rent payment options. This will save you time in your day and allow you to pay your rent 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from the comfort of your own home. If you are already set up with an allotment of your BAH going towards your home each month, this will not apply to you. However, it may apply in the event you need to pay a prorated amount for rent upon move-in or when you move-out and wish to pay an outstanding balance. Click here for a summary of your options.
$550,000 in scholarships awarded to military children by Corvias Foundation
Corvias Foundation, a private, charitable foundation and the charitable arm of Corvias Group, has been committed to supporting military families in the pursuit of higher education since 2006. This year, Corvias Foundation has awarded 11 college scholarships of up to $50,000 to outstanding high school students, marking the 10th class of scholarship recipients.

Residents complete Army housing survey for a chance to win $1500
Corvias Military Living is asking all residents to complete the 2015 Headquarters Department of the Army (HQDA) Residential Communities Initiative (RCI) Resident Survey. The survey gives on-post residents an opportunity to provide feedback to the Army, RCI and Corvias Military Living on how their housing needs are being met.
All residents who complete the survey will be entered into a drawing to win one of two iPads and one grand prize of $1,500! Staff Sgt. Thomas Siqueiros was the first winner of an iPad Air in a drawing Corvias held last week. The prize drawing for the second iPad Air will be held on June 8 and the drawing for the $1,500 grand prize will also be held that week.
The electronic survey was emailed to all residents on May 7. Residents who did not receive the survey should email firstname.lastname@example.com for a link to complete the survey. Residents must complete and submit the online survey by June 7.
The survey takes less than 20 minutes to complete and asks questions on topics such as residents' evaluation of their present home, community amenities, resident activities, the community maintenance team and property management team, among others.
All survey answers are strictly confidential and residents are urged to offer honest responses. Personal data is not tabulated and the survey does not identify the resident in any way.
The feedback provides the Army and Corvias with vital information to evaluate the current state of the partnership and guide future improvements to the housing facilities and residential services.

It is true that one of China's many long-term tools in fighting a protracted trade war with the United Sates is the fact that China owns $1.18 trillion worth of US public debt – more than any other single foreign power. China retains a medium-term strategy of gradually selling of US debt while more importantly in the longer term, China will de-facto de-peg the Yuan from the US Dollar, thus allowing the Chinese currency to float on the open market. As a result of this, in the very long term, the Yuan's value will likely skyrocket thus improving Chinese purchasing power, but with the added detriment of making Chinese exports more expensive in Dollar-for-Dollar terms. However, even this later apparent disadvantage is something that can be easily managed.
After the 1985 Plaza Accords, the value of the Japanese Yen continued to rise against the US Dollar, Japan resorted to a trade strategy of selling goods at a Dollar-for-Dollar loss, while making up individual losses on a strategy which prioritised high volume sales over the value of individual transactions. Even when the Yuan floats, there is little danger of the Japan scenario, which nevertheless resulted in Japan's economy remaining strong however stagnant. Unlike Japan which continues to maintain strict controls on both the inflow of goods and capital into the country, China is opening up its domestic markets as China seeks to become the next United States rather than the next Japan in terms of geo-economic dominance.
Crucially however, the Chinese market socialist system retains restrictions on unregulated capital outflow and domestic business strategies which will prevent the duel phenomena of a domestic money drain as well as that of limited resources for re-investing in domestic infrastructure, social programmes and industrial/technological innovation. Thus, as sure as China seeks to avoid the pitfalls of Japans strong but stale and closed marketplace, China also has a mechanism to avoid the pitfalls of a more open market. Because of this, China has found the perfect balance between the two strongest economies of the late 20th century in order to fashion a new moderately prosperous society fit for the 21st century.
The aforementioned long term strategy of China's monetary policy will likely not be effected by Donald Trump's tariff war in terms of the general timetable that Chinese policy makers have drafted long before Trump even declared his candidacy. Because of this, China is not going to strike back at the US through dumping US bonds, let alone through changing its monetary model. The reason for this is that in addition to counter-tariffs on US imports which will take a bite out of US exporters at a time when the rest of the world is seeing their goods and capital welcomed in the Chinese market, China has another far more direct short term strategy to bring Washington back to the table.
While Donald Trump has frequently complained about the dependence of US businesses and consumers on Chinese imports, what he has neglected to account for are the billions of Dollars in Chinese investment which annually pour into the United States. China continues to invest in the US property market, while countless major development initiatives of the last decade in America's biggest cities have been financed entirely from China.
While this remains the case, the numbers tell a different side of the story. In 2017 Chinese investments in the US totalled $29.7. The year prior, when Barack Obama was still President, Chinese investments totalled $46.5. Thus far in 2018, Chinese investments in the US have only been $1.8 and it is not likely that they will exponentially increase through the remainder of the year to come anywhere near 2017 levels.
Therefore, as the US becomes more protectionist in its trade dealing with Beijing, Chinese investors are failing to invest in the US market. This divestment trend not only predates the modest rally in the value of the US Dollar that has been witnessed in recent months, but it is directly linked to China's overall "soft" yet meaningful retaliation strategy against a protectionist US. Furthermore, it should be noted that rather than a traditional divestment (meaning withdrawal) of capital from US markets, China is merely softly divesting by omission – in this case by specifically omitting to invest its traditionally very large sums of capital on US soil. The current phenomenon could therefore be viewed as a benign divestment but one whose impact is no less apparent than an active withdrawal of assets.
Since most major deals that Chinese private sector investors do abroad must be first sanctioned by the Chinese authorities, Beijing is de-facto dis-incentivising its home grown billionaires from investing in the US market. The result will be that domestic American investors will see a devaluation in their own assets due to a decreased demand stemming from Chinese divestment by omission. Furthermore, the jobs and wealth generated from Chinese investment will also not be so easily replaced as some in the US might think. China is the major player in terms of international investment and only a select handful of nations can compete with the kinds of capital that China was erstwhile willing to invest in the large US market.
This is not to say that China will crash the US economy, but it does mean that those in Donald Trump's own field of property development will suffer from a lack of demand resulting from Chinese divestment by omission. It would behove the US Treasury Department to understand that one's overall trading relationship with a foreign power is not only measured by the amount of goods flowing in and out but by the overall added value that a bilateral trading partnership brings to the country.
While Americans are buying finished industrial goods from China, Chinese investors are buying hotels, skyscrapers, shopping centres and concert venues in the United States. As such they are paying the applicable taxes regarding these transactions into the US Treasury, while generating local wealth for the Americans employed in the building, operation and servicing of these Chinese owned facilities – including the famous Chinese Theatre in Hollywood which in a clear reflection of changing global realities, is now owned by the Chinese company TCL which poured millions into upgrading the cinema's technological capabilities after purchasing the previously neglected venue.
While Trump continues to view America's relationship with China in terms of a zero-sum game, in reality he is throwing away a win-win relationship that had potential to grow as China is now welcoming foreign investors from around the world into China's vast domestic market. But because of tariffs, US investors and exporters in China are now losing out, all the while the American market has lost a great deal of Chinese capital inflow due to Washington's current drive towards protectionism.
As China reserves its right to execute more elaborate strategies of monetary policy alteration as a means of changing the dynamic between the two countries, in the short term, China is resorting to something far simpler. If Trump doesn't want Americans to buy Chinese televisions and smart-phones, Chinese investors won't pump money into reviving America's ageing big cities.
Since Trump is fond of saying that China and others have "screwed" the US, when it comes to eliciting strong reactions from a Chinese government and private sector who never wanted a trade war to begin with, one might be surprised at just who is actually "screwing" whom.

Rumors about Kylie Jenner's pregnancy seem neverending. They continue to flow, and the latest hint is Kylie's absence from an important event. Check out more details on what happened.
Kylie's BFF Jordyn Woods came to the WWD Beauty Inc. Awards to accept the Beauty Newsmaker Award on Kylie's behalf.
'It was a privilege to accept the award for NewsMaker of The Year in honor of @kyliecosmetics this morning amongst so many brilliant people at @wwd Beauty Inc Awards?' Jordyn posted on her Instagram.
It was a privilege to accept the award for NewsMaker of The Year in honor of @kyliecosmetics this morning amongst so many brilliant people at @wwd Beauty Inc Awards? Every award winner well deserved it and I will continue to be inspired. @kyliejenner only 20 years old and have already built such a respectable name in beauty! I couldn't be a more proud best friend but not only that a fan. Your work ethic and dedication to your brand is motivational. This is only the very beginning! Congratulations to all. Everyone left feeling like a winner. Also quick little shoutout to @rebecca_alaniz for helping me get this outfit together so last minute ✨
Ky's absence could very well be interpreted in lots of ways, and, of course, one of them is the fact that she continues to hide and she doesn't want to show her baby bump in public at least not yet.
WWD legitimized her brand with their reporting on Kylie's almost one billion dollar business a few months ago.
Every time the Kardashian-Jenner sisters receive all kinds of industry honors they are usually excited to show up and get them.
Just think about when Kim Kardashians was honored for her tech entrepreneurship from Forbes magazine.
Other rumors are surrounding Kylie these days, unfortunately, such as the one that says Travis Scott dumped her, according to a source who spoke about this situation with Radar Online.
It looks like Kylie's baby daddy is not keeping his promises at all when it comes to his fatherly duties.
The insider claimed that she is having a meltdown at the moment because Travis does not seem to care at all about her and her pregnancy. This seems to be making her 'completely manic.'
'Travis is everywhere but with Kylie right now. She followed him on tour while he was in Boston, London, and even Las Vegas. But she just can't do it anymore. And instead of giving up his fame to be there for her and the baby on the way, he is doing more shows than he ever did and he also left for Chicago two days ago after she begged him to remain in L.A. with her,' said Radar Online's source. We have to wait some more to be able to make something of all that's been going on with Kylie these days.

Bakery Fresh Italian Sprinkle Cookies
When the holidays come around, we all start thinking about cookies! Cookie swaps, trays, and even parties all centered around holiday themed cookies. I love making the cookies of my youth, cookies I have been eating and making since I was little with my mother.
One of our favorite customs was to recreate our favorite Italian American bakery classics at home. We conquered lace cookies, tri-colors and our favorite sugar cookie, the Italian Sprinkle Cookie. Every bakery has a version and most are heavily doused in sprinkles. We elevated them by adding some olive oil and lemon zest and only sprinkling the outside. So, you taste the lemon but still get some sprinkles in very bite!
You probably have most of the ingredients already sitting in your pantry so ready, set, bake!!
Italian Sprinkle Cookies
¾ cup unsalted butter
1 egg
¾ cup confectioners sugar
¼ cup white sugar
zest of one lemon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
2 cups AP flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon coarse salt
1 cup rainbow sprinkles
Combine butter, egg, both sugars, lemon zest, vanilla extract and olive oil in the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the paddle attachment, cream until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda and salt.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the other ingredients in the stand mixer. Mixing until just combine.
Wrap the (very soft) dough onto a large piece of plastic wrap and allow to chill in the fridge for one hour.
Heat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a tablespoon, form small balls of the dough and then press to create a circular shape with thick sides.
Roll the cookie sides into the sprinkles to create a border.
Place the cookies on the baking sheet, about one inch apart.
Bake for 10 minutes, until the bottoms are golden brown.
Cool on a wire rack.
Buon Appetito!
