Content is a quality and quantity game.
I would never suggest that you prioritize the number of articles you create at the expense of writing valuable, original posts. However, if you post infrequently, your content will grow stale and you'll lose prospective followers.
So, what's a busy person to do? The key is to implement time-saving systems so that you can build your brand and increase visibility without having to sacrifice hours you don't have.
For example, one of my favorite time-saving content tips is segmenting and bundling various pieces of the process. Here's what I mean:
Every aspect of creating and uploading an article takes time, but often, when you're "in the flow" of one part of the process, you can accomplish more in that vein and save time down the road. For example, when I'm selecting photos for an article, I never download just one. I'll download any picture that relate to topics I frequently write on (e.g., computers, typing, workspaces, businesspeople); and as a result, for the next several posts I write, I'll have pre-selected photos on hand.
Here are key aspects of the content creation process that you can bundle:
- Brainstorming Topics: Create a topic list for yourself, and whenever you have an idea to add, push yourself to come up with two or three more before you save and close out.
- Outlining: Don't stop once you've listed out the key points for your next post. Ask yourself if you can jot down notes for any others on your topic list.
- Selecting Photos: As I mentioned above, if you're setting aside time to look for photos for a post, download any you come across that you can foresee yourself using for future articles. Save them in a separate folder (or save the links in the same document), so that you can go right to it and find images that fit with your visual aesthetic.
- Uploading Posts: There's no rule that you have to upload articles one at a time. In fact, uploading several and scheduling them out ensures your posts will go live exactly when you want them to--without requiring you to set aside the additional time to log into your website or social media platform.
Many people list a lack of time as a key reason they feel unable to meet their content and branding goals. Look for shortcuts that'll help you take the ball to the goal so you can keep getting yourself out there.

Msm & Vitamin C - The Magic Of Synergy
MSM serves as an important source of bioavailable dietary sulfur, an element that plays a critical role in maintaining the integrity and elasticity of connective and other tissues. It is an important component of proteins found throughout the body, such as in hair, nails, skin and tendons.
Vitamin C is necessary for the formation of connective tissue, amino acid metabolism, and hormone synthesis, and serves as a key factor in the body's immune system. Molybdenum is a trace element that is needed by the body for sulfur metabolism, oxygen transport, and detoxification.
A few extra benefits of MSM:
- Relief of constipation
- Lessening of scar tissue
- Softer skin
- Stronger thicker hair, grows faster and stops split ends
- Fingernails grow twice as fast and are less brittle
- More energy
Have you ever taken an Aloe Vera Leaf broken it open and put it on a burn or blister? That's MSM you're using.
Have you seen people with red-welted skin who itch a lot or have leathery skin, which splits, cracks or bleeds? That's an MSM deficiency. Keloid Scars are a lack of MSM.
Ever seen a bird in a cage, which pulled all its feathers out? That's an MSM deficiency. Birds in the wild don't do that. Add MSM to their water and it will stop the problem.
Vitamin C when taken with MSM helps build strong and thick veins and arteries.
Emphysema occurs when you lose the flexibility in your lungs. MSM and Vitamin C provide the increased oxygen to the membranes faster and easier. Many times you will get immediate relief. These products appear to help repair the lungs giving back the flexibility. Many people have found that in as little as a week they were off their oxygen and were able to start walking outside, up to a half mile. Within three months many were back to work at desk jobs.
It has been found to take up to two years to get the old cells to die off and new cells to take their place. For this to happen you cannot hit and miss on taking the products. You must take it regularly. Remember again that not every product will work for every person, but It's worth the try.
Burns: People who have been seriously burned and have had skin grafted, have found great relief with the MSM, MSM Lotion & Vitamin C. It helps build new blood vessels, collagen and flesh under the grafted skin, new skin color as well as increasing mobility. In some cases you will no longer be able to feel the demarcation line. It's worth a try. Remember it takes time.
Diverticulitis is a Vitamin C & MSM deficiency. Take it, and it should correct the problem.
Carpel Tunnel Syndrome: In some cases MSM Lotion has gotten rid of Carpel Tunnel Syndrome in as little as (two) weeks time. Take all three products though.
Hang Overs: MSM and Vitamin C will kick a hang over in 20-30 minutes. MSM makes the cell so permeable that it kicks the alcohol out of the cell its killing, and drives oxygen back into the cell. I have seen it work on three different people. Works very well. They ask me not to use their names.
Women and their monthly cycle – MSM and Vitamin C helps alleviate the pain associated with a monthly cycle by helping the glands work properly. This in turn helps dramatically easing the pain of headaches, cramps, nausea and hot flashes. It's worth a try it might help.
Migraine Headaches: I have read that people who have suffered for years with migraine and chronic headaches have gotten real relief from MSM and Vitamin C even to the point of curing the migraine part. I suffered dearly for many years from them, even ending up in the hospital many times for the shots. I beat the problem with nutritional supplements before I knew about the above combination. I can now control my headaches with Advil.
Dog Lovers: You may not have to put your favorite pet to sleep because he has hip dysplasia, or any condition where that pet can hardly get around. Give him some MSM and Vitamin C. Give him or her a little time and you may find your favorite friend able to get around again and many times very well. Sprinkle MSM crystals on his food or water or shove a tablet down his throat.
Diabetes: This is so important I'm putting it in bold print.
You can beat Type 2 Diabetes and help yourself with Type 1. MSM and Vitamin C when taken will help regulate your blood sugar. I recently told a friend of mine Ron of my research about MSM and Vitamin C of which he put himself on for some problems he was having. Ron shared the information with another friend of ours Pat Campbell. Pat's Diabetes was getting out of control. He had bleeding behind one eye and his blood sugar was running between 150-250 while on his medication. Pat came by to talk to me and I shared some research with him. Pat advised me, that normal blood sugar is supposed to be around 120. He said when he awoke in the mornings his blood sugar was running between 180-200. The doctor had him taking four pills a day and Pat was told to take 1 shot each night before bedtime. Pat said he refused to take the shot and decided to try the above MSM and Vitamin C combination.
To his surprise within a week, when he awoke in the morning his blood sugar was running between 114-120 and during the day around 140. I also told Pat about several other nutritional supplements that I had read about that knock Diabetes in the butt. He has checked it out and put himself on a few more of them and has cut his Diabetes Medication by 50 percent in the past 6 weeks. I feel Pat's body will cure itself of the Diabetes if he keeps providing the nutritional support his body is starving for. Diabetes and most all diseases are a symptom of starvation. Provide your body with the proper nutritional support and your body, most of the time, will be able to heal its self.
I have also read that many diabetics who have been on the needle five or six years or more have been able to get their body to start regulating after about four months. I would say by watching Pat Campbell's progression that one should watch their blood sugar "very closely" if they decide as Pat has, to become responsible for their own health. Pat calls me daily, and some days two or three times a day telling me about his progress. I have never seen a guy so excited as him. He has now started telling others, with diabetes, his story. I'll let you know how he does. I believe he will beat it completely. Remember it takes more than just MSM and Vitamin C to win the battle.

Why Google For Business Is So Important To Small Businesses in 2019
If there is one thing, and one thing only that you are going to do to promote your small business online, it had better be maximizing your Google My Business listing.
Whether it be looking up hours or seeing what's on the menu, the first place most potential customers turn to is Google.
- "When does Best Buy Open?"
- "What is Acme Drycleaners address?"
- "Asian food in Detroit"
Inevitably, it's all about your listing's visibility in the search results.
People use Google to find out information on local businesses all the time.
No doubt you've done a few of these kinds of information lookups too.
Google My Business "Knowledge Panel"
Simply put, this is the name for that box on the right side with the company information (on laptops and desktops). The knowlege panel is placed above the organic search results on mobile phones and tablets.
It is a card that gives your potential customers the most common information they want about your business, such as hours, location and phone number.
Essentially it provides the answers most users are looking for.
Additionally, when you provide accurate and concise information about your business to Google, the better your chances of showing up closer to the top of the results. If Google knows more about what you do and what you have to offer, the chances of your business showing up in related queries also goes up.
When your potential customers do a general location-based search such as "Italian restaurants in Southfield," for example, the knowlege panel appears as such:
Local SEO involves doing everything possible to have your business come up as close to the first spot as possible.
The number of people that click on the "more places" link is far less than those that view and click on the first three visible businesses.
If you were to click on one of the three top businesses in the list, it opens Google Maps and takes you directly to their knowledge panel.
There is a list of other restaurants on the left in this picture, and clicking on one of the others will bring up their knowledge panel.
Keeping The User's Attention Is Paramount!
Since they can easily click around to other business listings, it is very important to try and grab the user's attention and keep it.
The best way to do this is to make sure everything is 100% accurate.
I can't tell you how many times I've looked up a business and the Knowledge Card says they're open. You can probably relate to the frustration felt when I get to the store only to find they don't open for another hour!
Similarly, if the address and location shown are not 100% accurate, you can be sure that people using Google Maps or Waze will still have a hard time finding your business.
Also, for whatever reason, it seems like Google puts a lot of fax lines in their listings as the main phone number for restaurants.
The point is to double and triple check to make sure that your listing is faultless.
Holiday Hours
If you're a retail shop or another business that changes hours for the holidays, make sure to make the change in your listing!
It's so irritating to find out the shop is closed when the listing says it's open. You also might be missing some business if you don't list your later holiday shopping hours too. Customers may think your business is closed when it really isn't.
Simply put, these are the things that every business should be doing with their Google My Business listing at a minimum, but it's surprising how many small business owners don't even claim their business.
The Business Description
This is the second most important part of your Google My Business listing. Google allows for 750 characters (250 before the read more link) where you can describe your products, services, add value or communicate with your audience.
This is where SEO comes in.
This description should be optimized for best search results possible while making sense and encouraging the user to learn more about your business and stop in.
Google pays attention to these descriptions in the same way it pays attention to the content on your website.
The better it is from an SEO standpoint, the better your chances are of getting listed higher than your competition in the general local search box.
Images Sell Your Business Far Better
Even if you're not a restaurant, clean, professional photographs and graphics sell people on your business better than anything else. It also happens to be the first thing potential customers see.
"Businesses with photos receive 42% more requests for driving directions to their location from users on Google, and 35% more clicks through to their website than businesses that don't have photos."
Taking photos with your iPhone and uploading directly to Google just doesn't cut it if you want people to flock to your business.
If you got 42% more business because you hired a professional photographer for $1,000 would you complain?
Didn't think so.
You'd be surprised at how many business owners will try and cut corners and save costs in the wrong areas.
Taking blurry shots (or even ones that are just a tad out of focus) is enough to drive your potential customer away.
Lavishly professional photos instill confidence in the potential customer.
Don't be afraid to load up a lot of pictures either.
It's recommended to have at least five images for any business listing, but the businesses that do well often offer 10 to 30 images for users to browse through.
The reason is that the user will feel more and more confident that you have a good business when they're flipping through professional image after image and can see inside and outside your place of business, some of the people working there, product offerings and whatever else you choose to put up.
A word of caution, you don't want to post any image that doesn't help to sell the visit.
In otherwords, if you're a clothing shop, don't put up pictures of a 5K run you sponsored (put that stuff on your website in the blog). People aren't going to care. Show your products in all their glory. Proudly display your clean, private changing rooms. Sell the visit.
Keep a Close Eye On Reviews
Reviews are a large deciding factor for many buyers if they will engage with your business or not.
Local Consumer Reviews reports that:
- 86% of consumers read reviews for local businesses (including 95% of people aged 18-34)
- Consumers read an average of 10 online reviews before feeling able to trust a local business
- 40% of consumers only take into account reviews written within the past 2 weeks – up from 18% last year
- 57% of consumers will only use a business if it has 4 or more stars
- 80% of 18-34 year olds have written online reviews – compared to just 41% of consumers over 55
- 91% of 18-34 year old consumers trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations
- 89% of consumers read businesses' responses to reviews
Given these numbers, it is imperative that you monitor and respond to your reviews.
Reviews still do influence people's decisions. By nature, your potential customers will look for bad reviews first.
The worst thing you can do for your business as far as reviews are concerned is to not respond to negative reviews.
Other potential customers may feel like you don't care about your customers.
They may wonder if you solved the person's problem or just left them hang to dry. A well written response to both good and bad reviews makes all the difference for your potential customers. At the very least, your customers deserve to hear both sides of the story, don't they?
Use Google Posts To Promote
In your dashboard, you'll find an area where you can post updates to your Google Business knowlege panel.
This area is the most underused part of Google My Business.
These posts alone can sell the visit or get you a phone call. You just post as you would to your Facebook page. This is also an opportunity to bring people back to your website for more information.
Final Thoughts
I really encourage small businesses to really take their time with Google My Business.
Due to the sheer number of local searches performed everyday, it would be ridiculous not to put the effort in.
If you're not sure about how to update and optimize your Google My Business listing effectively, contact me through WebSpark Digital for some help on this.

Rainbow Moonstone + Pink Tourmaline Wire-Wrapped Earrings
This original design features a perfectly beautiful, magical combination of dreamy Rainbow Moonstone and stunningly juicy, lush Pink Tourmaline crystals. The Moonstone crystals are so vibrantly flashy! These one-of-a-kind earrings have been crafted using high quality silver plated (tarnish-resistant) wire and are hung on nickel free ear hooks. This crystal-tassel style is my new favorite!!
These beauties are super lightweight and comfy to wear, and they carry such intoxicatingly enchanting energies! Measuring 2.35" long. They light up and accentuate the face so beautifully!
--RAINBOW MOONSTONE activates the Crown Chakra and diffuses loving, healing light into and throughout the core of our being. It helps us to best embrace, appreciate, care for, and love ourselves from the inside out. It's a stone of the divine feminine and helps us to be more in tune with our purpose and innate magical abilities and gifts, and it encourages us to honor our passions, fulfill our goals, and bring life to our dreams! It also promotes love, peace, empathy, protection, compassion, and intuition.
--TOURMALINE is an incredibly beneficial talisman of inspiration, happiness, strength, confidence, emotional balance, and uplift. Pink Tourmaline in particular is great for emotional healing, comfort, and self-love. It's regarded as a shamanic stone. It is known to balance yin-yang energies and helps to reduce fear and other negative energies, such as anxiety, depression, shame, guilt, anger, etc. Tourmaline not only emotionally cleanses us, but physically as well; It helps to draw toxic metals out of our bodies while improving circulation and supporting the liver and kidneys.

If You Ever Wonder
The light of a lonely purple candle on my coffee table signals the start of the Advent season. For those who follow the liturgical rhythms of the Christian year, this season offers a holy invitation. It stands sober and resolute, calling us to consider what promises might find fulfillment around the next turn.
In many circles, the days of Advent get lost in the roaring cheer of Christmas. But the two seasons are distinct. And I think we should keep them that way, however difficult it may be. Where Christmas finds its center in glory and revelation, the days of Advent take their place under the canopy of a starry sky. These are the days where we ponder questions asked ages ago… where we slow the crushing obligations of December… and where we make some attempt — however feeble — to practice the lost art of waiting.
A few years ago, while pondering my own questions, I wrote a song about what it's like to wait and wonder during the Advent season. My wife, Jessica, took the simple melody, and made it into something much better. Our friend Scott added a beautiful lead guitar element that I'm pretty sure he composed in the car ride over to our house. The audio and lyrics are attached below.
My own spiritual practice has proven that I'm terribly unsuccessful at the kind of waiting I'm proposing. But I sit here in the dark with this solitary candle, shining for all it's worth until the others around the wreath join in. And for tonight, this one candle is enough — enough to fuel the wonder and expectation that keep me looking for what's around the next turn.
If You Ever Wonder
If you ever wonder why the darkest winter sky refuses to give way.
If you ever wonder when the daylight will dance in and cover over gray.
If you ever wonder how a silent night would sound apart from all the noise you know.
If you ever wonder who could whisper heaven's truth to creatures here below.
Every valley shall be filled. And all the crooked roads made straight.
We rejoice that Emmanuel shall come to wondering hearts that wait.
No one said waiting would be easy, searching stars for reasons to believe.
All you really want are answers, but maybe it's not really answers that you need.
'Cause hope has brought us here. And hope will conquer fear. And hope will be the story that we tell.
The future and the past shall be reconciled at last, when Love made flesh among us comes to dwell.
(Repeat chorus twice)

This comedian yelling at you could be best show coming to DM
Comedian Lewis Black will perform at Hoyt Sherman Place in Des Moines this fall.
The show announced Monday will be on September 23 at 8 p.m.
"Lewis' live performances provide a cathartic release of anger and disillusionment for his audience. Lewis yells so they don't have to. A passionate performer who is more pissed-off optimist than mean-spirited curmudgeon. Lewis is the rare comic who can cause an audience to laugh themselves into incontinence while making compelling points about the absurdity of our world," reads the announcement from Hoyt Sherman.
Tickets are $39.50 and $59.50 plus service charges. You can get them at Hoyt Sherman Place, by calling 800-745-3000 or online at ticketmaster.com. Tickets are available starting this Friday at 10 a.m.

Movie Review: Mindhorn
The Isle of Man, 80's detective drama that Richard Thorncroft (Julian Barrett) was once able to literally 'see the truth' through his bionic eye. 25 years on and Richard finds himself washed up, out of shape and living in a bedsit in London. He gets a phone call from the police department, serial killer is on the loose. The main suspect, an obsessed fan who thinks Mindhorn is real life, demands to speak solely to Mindhorn. Richard disgracefully (yet cunningly) sees this as a PR op. He legs it to the Island, hooks up with his ex-fling Patricia Deville (Essie Davis) only to find that she's now happily married, in mansion to Clive (Simon Barnaby), his old time stunt double. Devo for him! Not too sure if Clive is Dutch or South African to begin with but he's one of the funniest characters I've seen in a long time.
The film has those 70's 'Anchorman' vibes but on a much lower budget which makes it even funnier, it's kind of like a long sketch dragged out but there's nothing wrong with that. At times I had to double check what I was watching and then realised its ridiculousness. It's definitely full of giggles, Richards 'Mindhorn Suit' that he gets glued into by the suspect serial killer still gives me a good chuckle. It's worth a watch even for Steve Coogan's cameo with his ridiculously ripped bod.
There's no trailer for this yet but here's Simon Farnaby and Julian Barratt on the British Independent Film Awards. Mindhorn as a release date sometime in May.
Vibe: Good to watch with a few pals, funny and chill, easy on the eye.
Movie Review: Free Fire
Free Fire
Directed by Ben Wheatley, Free Fire happens over one night in one building- a warehouse in Boston Massachusetts in 1978 with ridiculous moustaches and oversized lapels. An IRA gang and a South African meet in the middle with some mediators to discuss a guns for cash deal. When two members of opposing gangs realise they have unfinished beef, shots start firing. The 12 way Tarantino style shoot out is riddled with quotable lines and a great cast, Cillian Murphy, Jack Raynor, Brie Larson and Sharlto Copley. With so many rounds being fired it's sometimes hard to ''Remember which side I'm on''. It's the longest, most ungraceful, misfortunate shoot outs I've ever seen but it has plenty of humour to keep you interested throughout.
Vibe: Tarantino-y style funny flick you could watch with some mates and crack out some quotes.
Movie Review: Snowpiercer
Snowpiercer is an apocalyptic action thriller by Korean director Boon Jong-Ho. When a climate change experiment goes wrong Earth is sent into its second ice-age. 18 years on the surviving population remain on a self-sufficient train with a cut throat class divide. Luxury and power to the front-poor unfortunates to the back.
The second revolution is sparked and the 'tail end' passengers try to make it to the 'sacred engine' at the 'head' of the train. Tilda Swinton as the voice of the elite (serious Maggie Thatcher vibes) and John Hurt (as a Gandalf type figure) are among some of its impressive cast. There are some pretty awesome fight scenes and cool sets designs going on. It's an absurdly violent blockbuster type film but it's full of surprises. Well worth a watch.
Vibe: Big shooty, fighty action Blockbuster. Lots of loud noises, needs high energy.
Movie Review: Gleason
Gleason is a documentary about retired NFL star of the New Orleans Saints and his diagnosis of ALS-Motor Neuron Disease. At the same time as his diagnosis he learns that his wife, Michel Varisco, is pregnant with their first child. With a life expectancy of 3-5 years, this prompts Steve to video life lessons and advice for his future son, along with updates of his condition. He's speech and mobility quickly begins to deteriorate. Battling with caring for a toddler and an ALS patient, Michel enlists the help of Blair Casey as an additional carer to form what they refer to as the 'Badass Unit'. Steve, Michel and Blair keep the humour alive even through some of the most heart wrenching and humiliating treatments.
This documentary leaves nothing out. Steve also tries to reconcile the relationship with his father who says his son was raised in a "pretty dysfunctional household". The father and son relationship element is apparent in all areas of the documentary. Between, Steve and his father Mike, with his son Rivers and in a tear jerking interview between Steve and Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder. It's very clear how Michel and Steve's relationship changes. They were so adventurous and happy but towards the end you can see how lonely they each are dealing with either side of the disease. It is incredibly difficult to see such an athletic hero reduced to such frustration and humiliation but it's also remarkably inspiring. He travels, checks of some of his Bucket List, leaves invaluable memories to his son and creates the 'Team Gleason Foundation' to help patients with ALS.
Vibe: Very heavy but surprisingly uplifting, you'll need a stiff drink afterwards.
Movie Review: The Salesman
The Salesman
Set in Iran, The Salesman begins with the two main characters Emad and Rana evacuating their apartment. They move to a 'shabbier' new apartment (personally I think it looks slick).Their new neighbours fill them in on the previous shady tenant describing her as "a woman with a lot of acquaintances" Ooh, shifty! The doorbell rings, Rana buzzes the door. An ex-client of the previous tenant strolls up and BAM! Rana is in hospital with a head injury.
It's unclear what exactly happened but this incident changes their whole relationship. The film is a heavy going watch but it's engaging all the way through. With the 'fly on the wall' camera style and the naturalness of all the actors, it's easy to see how The Salesman earned Director Asghar Farhadi his second Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
Vibe: Cultural, subtitled flick requiring a lot of concentration. Don't watch hungover.
Snapchat Interview With Yellow Machine PR
#MachineMeets with January Winters.
Model, blogger and now radio presenter, January tells us how she made it to the top of the Irish modelling scene. She also gives us some insights into some new and inspiring projects she's working on.
Check out January's blog www.gold-and-bold.com and listen to her on www.frq.fm
Loves of My Life
Irish Independent Life Magazine
The loves of my life: January Russell Winters, model and blogger
The model and blogger on why Twinkle is her favourite person and how the fact that her hands are bigger than most men's is a source of great pride.
The person
She's not really a person, but she might as well be. Twinkle, my dog, is hands down the best thing I've ever met. I don't think anything will love me as much as she does. If everyone had her enthusiasm when I walked in the door, I'd be a lucky girl
The memory
One time, at a festival, my friends and I dressed up as 'gold'. We danced around to Spandau Ballet (You are gold!). We filled our pockets to the brim with glitter and threw it around the campsite. It was magical! It was also the moment that sparked the beginning of my blog, Gold & Bold
The moment of the day
I live in Killiney, and walk to the Dart station every morning. Smelling the sea and looking over the bay makes me really happy. I'm so lucky to live where I do
The song
Love Me Tender by Elvis Presley. When I was about four or five years old, I remember my dad standing at the end of my bed, playing it on guitar. The lyrics really got to me, and I started welling up. I ran out of the room crying, and told him I'd got oranges in my eye. I wasn't even eating an orange!
The movie
The original Jungle Book is my favourite film. We watched it to death when we were younger, but it never gets old. I love how enchanting the score is, and the animation is especially delicious
The hero
My grandmother, Wendy. She's such a strong, independent, intelligent, sassy, loving woman. She's over 80 years old, and still travels the world. She most recently returned from Uzbekistan; her next stop is Panama!
The book
I really enjoyed Factotum by Charles Bukowski. It's about the random debauchery of an aspiring writer. I like his style and his grittiness. It does get quite grim, but there's a sense of humour throughout
The outfit
I can generally be found in trainers, jeans and a T-shirt, and one of my favourite jackets. My wardrobe is overflowing with jackets. It's beginning to be a problem
The accessory
Sunglasses. I can't leave the house without sunglasses. Rain or shine, rude or not, I barely take them off. I've got my eye on a new pair of Pradas; I'm still building my collection
The gadget
Although it's on it's last legs, my phone is obviously my favourite gadget. We have a love/hate relationship at the moment. I desperately need a new one, but I just can't seem to part with it. We've been through a lot together
The pet hate
I know it's weird, but my pet hate is any sort of annoying sound. Muffled music, chewing, tapping, murmurs of a TV through a wall, out-of-sync beats, out-of-tune singing . . . I could go on. I feel like I get a physical pain in my body from sounds I don't like
The friend
I cherish every single one of my friends. I'm always so grateful for the friends that I have. I couldn't pick a better bunch
The beauty product
Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream. I don't go anywhere without it. I'm fully addicted; I'd marinate myself in the stuff if I could
The holiday
It was more of a 'working' holiday, but the first season I spent in Milan was ridiculously fun. I was lucky enough to work and travel across a lot of Italy and parts of Switzerland. Every day was like a little adventure, meeting new people, seeing new things, tasting everything. I loved it
The piece of advice
Bad things happen, but good things always come from bad situations. Always be grateful. Live your life, and be gold!
The drink
A Pina Colada. I've yet to find a good one in Dublin, but if anyone knows of where to get one, please tell me. Extra points if they're served with cocktail umbrellas and any other sort of kitsch
The hotel
One of the nicest hotels I've stayed in recently is the Merchant Hotel in Belfast. I was there for a job with model and bestie Jenny Drea. I had a bedroom the size of my house, and the most decadent breakfast I've ever gorged on. We couldn't say no to the rooftop jacuzzi, either!
The bar
Pygmalion off South William Street is always my go-to spot to meet my mates. We normally sit outside, talk rubbish and drink cocktails. I like the atmosphere there. I can always convince friends passing by to stay for a drink
The hobby
Listening to music is one of the most enjoyable things that I do. I'm always thirsty for new music; I love discovering what other people listen to. Nothing makes me feel as good as when I hear a song that I love
The part of my body
My hands. I think they're nice, but I'm more proud of the fact that they're bigger than most men's!
The celebrity
I'm not great at stalking celebrities, but I'm obsessed with Conor McGregor. His charisma, ambition, humour and talent really inspire me (and he's a bit of a babe!)
The virtue
I'm definitely loyal, fun and I'm a good friend. I've never leaked a secret, and I'm always up for an adventure
The vice
I'm a bit of brat. My friends call me a stroppy teenager sometimes. I wish I was better at remembering names, but I blame my dad for that. I can be quite impatient, and that's something I really need to work on
The smell
A discontinued bottle of Alexander McQueen perfume. It doesn't have a name; it's impossible to get hold of. I have a bottle hidden away for special occasions
The taste
Anything with truffles. I don't get to eat them as often as I'd like, but maybe that's a good thing. It keeps them special

Serious Skills
Getting ready for a night out is usually the most enjoyable/stressfull part of the night. Anything that's going to take away that stress gets a high mark in my books.
With a big night ahead of me, I popped in to The Make Up Bar in Temple Bar with my good pals Thalia Heffernan and John Crowley.
90's tunes and wine for three as soon as we arrived. The girls were there to give us a warm welcome, crackin' jokes and singing TLC in no time.
With Metropolis on this weekend they're the perfect one stop shop for festival hair and make up. Check out their slick Instagram here!

Fashion Industry Awards
Kerry Fashion Week
Prep for the big night began about two years ago, at Electric Picnic, I came across my best find yet. I was browsing around the Oxfam tent when I found a beautiful raw silk wedding dress train for only two quid! Delighted with myself, I handed over the dollars and used it as if I was a cheeky Matador at the festival for the next few days. It was surprising how well it washed up!
My beautiful bestie and all round crafter, Aoife Challis agreed to make it into a skirt for me. Sorted! I wore it with a Topshop bodysuit that cost twelve euro and shoes left over from the last event. Jammy enough to have my hair and makeup done from a modelling job earlier on in the day, I was good to go!
The champagne reception at the Europe Hotel served us well. Chats and giggles on the night came from the lovely Trudy, Judy, Tino and Aaron to name just a few.
I didn't win anything but I felt fab!
Stay Gold,
Sweet Sexy Cool
Dresses.ie S16 Collection
During the week I popped in to Sam's Bar on Dawson Street. There were good tunes, a delicious breakfast and the catwalk launch of Dresses.ie S16 collection. It also happened to be my first time ever watching a fashion show from the sideline! I've never really understood the power of a good walk and the presence it has on the catwalk, especially in such close quarters. I was so impressed by all the girls and couldn't help but feel like a proud mom. Go Girls!
Here's some shots from the catwalk
My Favourites
There's quite a few things from the day that I had my eye on. I fell in love with this cute lace skater dress and with the slick blue bomber jacket below.
Can't wait to shop the looks!
Fashion Industry Awards Finalist
Kerry Fashion Week
Just before I received the nomination for the Fashion Industry Awards, it dawned on me that the only thing/achievement I've ever won was a Wagon Wheel from Mizzoni Pizza, and even the legitimacy of that is questionable. So you can imagine my excitement once I heard Gold&Bold made it to the finals in the 'Blog Of The Year' category! CHUFFED!!
Gold&Bold is still just a baby, but thank you to everyone who's been checking it out over the last few months and everyone who's shared and cared about it. A big thank you especially to my main slice, Jenny Drea who gave me the courage to get it going in the first place.
The black tie event takes place down in Kerry on the 4th of March, and I've already begun to pin down an outfit for it. It's gotta be Gold and it's gotta be Bold. Check back next week to see how it (hopefully) all came together!
Go For Gold!!!

The Magical Place
The Lambert Puppet Theatre
''WOAH! I'VE BEEN WORKING IN A PUPPET THEATRE!!'' Was the line I lead with meeting everyone and anyone in the run up to my trip to Milan.
It was The Lambert Puppet Theatre, one of the coolest, most magical-est places I've ever been. I was beyond delighted when Jason Lambert agreed to have me down for a few days work, days before the opening of their Christmas show 'Aladdin'.
Earlier this year the theatre was struck by an arson attack just months before 'Aladdin' was due premiere. Re-painting puppets, spray painting sharks and gluing spooky spiders are just some of the tasks I had to enjoy.
At any given moment anything bizzare could happen in and around the theatre. Sound testing the cackling laughs of 'The Baddie', blarring through the hallways to puppeteers calling out for the whereabouts of 'The Emperors' hands. Things that no one could predict.
There's no end to the amount of randomness that could happen in a short days work there. Everywhere you look there's something incredible to see, boxes of big hairy spiders, tiny hands drying on a rack, a giant Octopus in a bag?! Anything!
See the magic for yourself, Aladdin opened on the 14th November and runs until the 31st of January!
Back In Town
Models in Milan
It always nice to travel, and I'm grateful to Milan for wanting me back for another season of castings, jobs and good times in the fashion capital.
There's a great sense of community between models in Milan. This community comes from all different parts of the industry. Stepping back into my agency (Nologo) and being greeted with a wealth of hugs, endless cheek kisses and introductions really makes you feel at home.
My home in Milan for the next few months is 'Fashion Flats', an apartment block for models which I'm glad to be staying in. Models from every nationality and different agencies and ages are all thrown together in a series of apartments surrounded by a courtyard. It's not all bitchy-ness and $ass. Surprisingly, most of the girls get along together quite well. Most models spend the year travelling to different cities for work, so it's important to make friends in the short time that they have.
These bonds are strengthened by the many PR's that organise entertainment for the girls. From lunches in 'Jazz Cafe' everyday, weekend trips around Italy, dinner and drinks in exclusive clubs or a simple movie and a pizza.
Milan is a city set up for Models, Girls can fly in, make friends easily, book jobs and enjoy themselves. But In a tough industry full of self doubt and rejection, making these links with people is survival. I'm a firm believer of making the most of every situation and making it a good one. So stick on some Spandau, or whatever you're into and get involved and feel good.
Stay Gold,
Ready For Winter
With almost 225 days of rain a year in Ireland its not surprising that Ciaran Jackson and Daniel Cummins started Ember&Earth to shield some of that rain away. Ember&Earth cracked the code to stylish rain gear by combining fashion and functionality that works. Super comfy, cotton lined wind and rain proof, this jacket makes me happy. The only difficulty with them is picking a colour.
Ready for Winter! POW POW!!

Tips for Charity Shop Stalking
Is it worth it? Let me work it!
We've all been that someone coveting something in the window of a charity shop. If you've read the blog post on Charity Shop Pursuits you'll know its a serious game. Here's a few tips of how to get that gem.
- Sale date.
Firstly, find out when it goes on sale. Charity shops usually leave their windows on display for up to two weeks. Inquire within and save the date.
- Is it the genuine article?
Ask a member of staff if you can have a closer inspection. Some shops aren't too happy to let you have a proper look. If they do let you, take the opportunity to have a good look at the item and maybe take some pictures on the sly. Check the seams, crests, tags, and compare to similar items online. Nothing worse than waking up early to que for a fake!
- Wake up early!!
Wake up earlier than you think, even if it's incredibly embarrassing and desperate. Evaluate how that extra hour in bed is going to feel versus the feeling of that bag on your shoulder, that watch on your wrist or that scarf around your neck. Prepare to que outside the shop a couple of hours early.
- Eye on the prize.
If you don't wake up early enough and someone happens to be there first, ask them if you're both queuing for the same thing. If they are, you have two choices; admit defeat, leave and take back that extra hour in bed. Or, hang on to the bitter end, telepathically tell her that she needs to pee, and hope that some other gems lie inside the store.
- Laying it down.
If you're first in the que, hooray! You're en route to getting what you want. Before you lay the money down, double check if its the same item, if you're still in love with it and if you're happy to part with the money. Then, prepare a hefty Facebook status and brag about you're latest achievement!
- Plan B.
If you don't make it inside the shop first, try cheekily offering the one who did a few quid over the asking price. It's worth a shot. Also, have a good look around the shopand at other items in the window. People behind you in the que might be there for something entirely different and you could be passing up on a gem!
Happy Hunting!

Beneficial nematodes occur naturally in the dirt, being used for controlling pest insects within the dirt, as well as whichever grubs or larvae could be existing. These nematodes hunt for greater than 200 varieties of the soil's pest insects which are located thriving underground.
But as dangerous as they are to pest insects, beneficial nematodes don't present a menace to other insect species like earth worms, ladybugs, and beneficial insects that are invaluable to plants and trees. Beneficial nematodes one of the best insects for natural pest control and are an exceptionally successful organic control method for insect pests, eradicating them even before maturity. A beneficial nematode, a minute worm, lives underneath the soil. This sort of worm normally is white colored or transparent, devoid of the sectors that earthworms have. Under the terrain, there are more than 20,000 various types of nematodes. They are also known as parasites that affect many types of plants, as well as animals.

How to Bend Tube and Pipe
The Voice: Hey, Kevin. What are you playing with?
Kevin Caron: One of my welding video subscribers posed the question: What's the difference between metal pipe and tubing?" It's a good question and it's pretty easy to show you using some samples I have here in the studio.
Can you see the wall thickness? Notice the difference between the two of them?
The Voice: Yes.
Kevin Caron: Pipe is thicker than tubing. You can use pipe in a hydraulic bender. Tubing, on the other hand, you would use in a mandrel bender or another pipe bending tool such as a conduit bender, like when you're running electrical wires.
The Voice: What's a mandrel bender?
Kevin Caron: A mandrel bender is a big piece of hydraulic equipment, and it's got a plug that goes down inside the tubing. You would put that plug down in and as you start to bend it in the machine, that plug is what keeps the pipe from collapsing because you're trying to shrink it on the inside of the bend and stretch it on the outside of the bend and keep the top and the bottom the same while trying to bend it around the corner.
That mandrel goes inside to help keep the pipe, or the tubing, the same diameter. Without it you would end up with the kink; that's why they put the mandrel down inside.
Here is another bending tool: the conduit bender. You can pick up one of these tools at Home Depot or Lowe's, if you want to do electrical work on your house. Electrical conduit is the tubing that you would run the wires through. You would you would put this flat on the ground, then pull on the handle at the same time, and that thing would just bend right over.
It's got a little level in it so you can go from horizontal to vertical and it shows you when you get a 90-degree bend. There are different sizes for the various sizes of conduit or tubing.
This pipe bender is a mechanical or a hand version rather than a hydraulic version.
The Voice: Can you bend metal tubing in the hydraulic bender?
Kevin Caron: You can, but the problem with doing it in the hydraulic bender is that it requires the right size die, or shoe, as it's called, to fit the tubing.
This one is a little loose inside, so when I try to bend it in the hydraulic bender, it's going to deform; it's going to flatten out a little and kink as I bend it around the corner. You've got to have the right bending machine for what you're doing - you can't just put it over your knee and give it a crank.
Some guys fill the tubing with sand and water. They seal one end, hold it up, fill it, wet it, cap it, and then that keeps it from kinking. But you really have to pack it down tight inside. It's quicker just to have the right tool to do the job of bending metal pipe and tubing.
I hope that answers your question.

- Area Info: Mijas Pueblo
Breathtaking Vistas
Official figures show that 12 million tourists currently visit the Costa del Sol every year. Clearly, each area on the Coast is keen to play host to as many of these visitors as possible – but some are better equipped than others. One of them is Mijas Pueblo, which has a highly tangible tourist presence all year round.
Mijas laidback beauty, sublime climate and magnificent views create an atmosphere that is best accompanied by a glass of chilled wine
At first glance, this might paint Mijas as a caricature of the classic whitewashed pueblo, but the town has much more to offer than a picture-postcard setting, breathtaking vistas and shops selling tourist trinkets and ornaments.
In an architectural and cultural sense, Mijas strikes just the right balance between tourist destination and residential functionality. Located just inland from Fuengirola, the town is highly accessible and amazingly picturesque, proving particularly popular with older tourists and homebuyers.
It is not hard to understand why: the town's laidback beauty, sublime climate and magnificent views create an atmosphere that is best accompanied by a glass of chilled wine, a dusky horizon and the relaxing orchestral sounds of local wildlife, calling time on another day in paradise.
Other-Worldly Silence
During the winding climb to Mijas from Fuengirola, you experience many changes in just six kilometres. Most noticeably, the hustle and bustle of the coast fades to a distant hum, while the roadside gives way to rockier outcrops as you ascend the side of one of the Costa del Sol's numerous peaks.
Entering Mijas, the blinding whiteness of the alabaster-pale buildings is a striking sight, especially when the searing sun is at its highest. Cafés, bars, restaurants and gift shops compete for your attention, yet it is the authentic beauty of the religious shrine, perched on its own rocky pedestal, that first draws the eye.
Gorgeous views of the coastline can be enjoyed from pretty much every vantage point in town, with the other-worldly silence of the mountainside providing an effective sound barrier.
Mijas's location makes it a favoured weekend retreat for many locals from the coast, while the short drive to the airport means it is an appealing destination for expats seeking a peaceful and convenient area to purchase their dream home in the sun.
Day-Time Pursuits and Evening Pleasures
The cultural wealth of Mijas is evident from the moment you first set foot outside and into the ephemeral sunlight. Ignoring the views – which is difficult – Mijas's beauty lies in its quaintness. Its compact size and hilly location posed challenges for architects many centuries ago, but the result is spectacular.
Tiny square houses cling to the landscape like fluff on a sweater, creating a backdrop of scattered, whitewashed walls and red-tiled roofs that looks great on a postcard.
Around the central square there are cafés with excellent "menú del día" offerings that, while ostensibly aimed at tourists, are great value and attract locals, expats and visitors alike. The old bullring is one of the most captivating in Andalucía, while equally diverting is the Mijas Wine Museum, with its daily tastings and the chance to learn all about Mijas's small but growing wine industry.
Enriching Cultural Experiences
Once suitably imbibed, a trip to the Casa Museo is an enriching experience, where you can discover the town's Roman roots, agricultural past and recent boom as one of southern Europe's iconic tourist destinations. The town's commercial centre has boutiques, jewellery stores and restaurants, in addition to banks, grocery stores and pharmacies.
Handily for expats, the town hall has its own "Foreigners Department", where non-Spanish speakers can request assistance and advice in their own languages. Once the paperwork has been filled in, the children packed off to school, the local doctor met and the food shopping completed, Mijas's stunning gardens will beckon you, serenaded by birdsong while enjoying the welcome sunshine and pervading sense of peace.
For evening pleasures, Mijas hosts a diverse array of festivals and events during the year, showcasing music, drama, art, handicrafts and gastronomy.
The sparkling runway of lights that forms the backbone of the Costa del Sol twinkles spectacularly below, enticing walkers out on to Mijas's pristine streets for a night-time stroll; while the inviting cosiness of the many bars and cafés dotting the town proves irresistible, transforming its daytime tranquillity into a more social ambience in the evening.
The absence of nightclubs is explained by the town's proximity to Fuengirola, ensuring the weekend diaspora of younger folk leave Mijas free to be enjoyed by those seeking a more sedate and leisurely evening – where the wine flows as freely as the contented smiles.

Can you help us bring TAWAI to a NORTH AMERICAN audience?
TAWAI is independently financed and has been independently distributed in the UK, which means that the producers are putting all of the profits they earn back into the release in order for the film to reach as many people as possible.

There are many ways to help; you can support us with a small donation which will help the film secure more cinema showings, you can arrange a screening with our distribution partners to show TAWAI in your local community, or you can tell your friends and family, re-tweet our twitter posts and share our facebook posts can all be done for free. We appreciate anyway you choose to help us, even if it's just through positive thought.

I was in New Seasons the other day buying some halibut and as I was walking through the produce sections I saw the cutest thing — garlic tops.
"Oh!" I thought to myself, "need to buy! Cuuute!"
Then I got home and realized I had no idea what to do with them. I did a little online searching and found this page — Mary Jane's Farm about garlic scapes, which I think are slightly younger versions of my tops but I figured it was close enough.
I made the pesto, using half . . . → Read More: They Are so Cute — Now What Do I Do with Them?

Back to Bad Old Soviet Habits
By Vladimir Socor. Mr. Socor is a senior analyst for the Jamestown Foundation, publishers of the daily Monitor.
Three ongoing initiatives in Moscow indicate an intent to exploit Russia's antiterrorism cooperation with the West, for goals that have nothing to do with antiterrorism. These initiatives embrace what official Moscow still terms -- and eyes -- as the "post-Soviet space" in Eurasia.

This past January, as I watched Hillary Rodham Clinton step down from her post at the U.S. State Department, I felt proud -- proud of my connection to her as an alumna of a women's college, and honored to serve as the president of a women's college with a commitment to social justice. And now, as we celebrate Women's History Month, I am mindful of what a strong role model she is. Her commitment to advancing women and to fighting for social justice around the world resonates deeply with students at Mills College, inspiring and now motivating them to continue her efforts.
Much has been written about Mrs. Clinton's legacy as Secretary of State and about the many ways in which she distinguished herself from her predecessors. By anyone's estimation, her approach was unique and unprecedented -- even when compared to the styles of the accomplished women who came before her. Her achievements were numerous, but at Mills we found some to be particularly meaningful.
Secretary Clinton made gender equity and social justice a centerpiece of her tenure. She didn't shy away from this focus because she is a woman. Instead, she had the courage to embrace it, relying on her female perspective to inform her work. In what became known as the "Hillary Doctrine," she pushed for recognition of women's rights as a worldwide humanitarian cause, identifying the connection between the advancement of women's equality and global stability. As Clinton so eloquently put it, "I believe that the rights of women and girls is the unfinished business of the 21st century. We see women and girls across the world who are oppressed and violated and demeaned and degraded and denied so much of what they are entitled to as our fellow human beings." You don't have to look very hard to know how much truth there is in that statement.
Among her many efforts to advance gender equity, Secretary Clinton launched a major initiative to expand women's leadership in public service throughout the world. This initiative, called the Women in Public Service Project, brings women's colleges -- including Mills -- across the U.S. to work together to increase the percentage of women leaders worldwide from a woefully low 10 percent to at least 50 percent by the year 2050.
And shortly before she left office she saw another goal realized. On January 30, President Obama issued a directive that strengthens the government's work to promote gender equality worldwide. The directive, signed by the president with Secretary Clinton in attendance, will expand coordination on global efforts such as reducing gender-based violence and expanding equal access to education and economic opportunities.
Clinton resolved to elevate global health as a means to earn goodwill by enhancing and saving lives in the developing world. To that end she helped create the Global Health Initiative, housed within the State Department, which is coordinating an interagency team to reduce a wide range of specific health threats including malaria, tuberculosis, and maternal and child mortality. Certainly, these efforts were not new to Secretary Clinton. As her husband, former President Bill Clinton, pointed out, "Hillary was a walking NGO" when he first met her more than 40 years ago.
Secretary Clinton's global leadership in advancing gender equality and social justice has inspired so many of us at Mills, where the vision of a more equitable society permeates campus life. It is a fundamental part of our culture, and, indeed, the reason that many students choose to come here. Infused throughout Mills' curricula and programs is the effort to nurture leaders who will serve as agents for social change.
Our students take it upon themselves to go outside their classrooms to find answers to social problems in their communities and beyond. From serving as peer-health educators, to volunteering as student teachers in high-need urban school districts, to becoming social entrepreneurs, it's gratifying to see our students follow in Clinton's footsteps.
Eighteen years after her powerful speech in Beijing declaring that women's rights are human rights, Hillary Clinton is still fighting to advance women's rights. I have no doubt that she will not rest on her laurels, and neither should we. As long as Malala Yousafzai, a young Pakistani girl, is shot simply for advocating for her right to receive a basic education, and as long as a single Afghani mother, Fawzia Koofi, faces assassination attempts as she runs for president of her country, we still have work to do. Secretary Clinton has helped to educate and mobilize policy makers and other influencers here in the U.S. and around the globe. She has given us the motivation to help carry out her mission to put women and girls at the forefront of the new world order. We are pleased to hear newly appointed Secretary of State John Kerry promise to continue his predecessor's work. We will do everything in our power to help him keep his promise by educating the next generation of thoughtful, powerful women prepared to effect positive change locally, regionally, and globally.

Games for our 2016 spring season have begun! District Lacrosse League teams (5th – 8th Grade) are already on their 3rd week of games! For those who have never watched lacrosse, there are a few big differences between the boys and girls games. One of these differences is the draw, or faceoff, which happens at the start of each game and after every goal.
Draws/faceoffs are extremely important in lacrosse since you can't score if you don't have possession of the ball! College lacrosse statistics have shown that teams with higher faceoff percentages generally have higher winning percentages. Winning faceoffs aren't the only factor in winning games, but it always helps to have possession of the ball. So get out there and practice those faceoffs!
In girl's lacrosse, the draw starts with opposing players facing each other in the center of the field. The two centers hold their sticks out with the back of the stick pockets touching each other. The referee then places the ball between the two sticks and each player applies a little pressure so that the ball stays trapped between the sticks. When the signal is given to start, each player pulls her stick upwards and backwards to release the ball into the air. The ball is now live, and each team fights for possession to start the game.
In boy's lacrosse, the faceoff starts with two players laying their sticks down horizontally on each side of the midfield line. The ball will be placed between the head of each stick, and the butt-end of the sticks should be pointing down the midfield line. Once the whistle is blown, each player will fight for the ball by trying to gain possession.
Check out our kids in action every week! DC Stars games take place every Sunday, while District Lacrosse League games take place every Monday (girls) and Thursday (boys). Visit our website for more information at winnerslacrosse.org/leagues

Impress all your guests with this perfect oven-roasted rack of pork recipe. Perfect for the holiday season and entertaining. It's easy to make and using top quality pork makes all the difference in flavor.
This post was created in partnership with Snake River Farms. However, that thoughts and opinions expressed within are my own.
It's easy to get caught up in the holidays with ideas on what to cook your friends and family while hosting. But it's not as complicated as it looks. So, let's break down a classic oven-roasted rack of pork and get back to hanging out with the guests.
I love whipping up roasts for big nights. One, they look impressive. And two, with a little know-how, they aren't that complicated at all. Once everything is in the oven. it gives me the time to hang out and enjoy my company.
For this oven roasted rack of pork, I used a Kurobuta Rack of Pork from Snake River Farms, also known as the prime rib of pork. Snake River Farms is an online retailer for high-end specialty meat such as heritage pork, American Wagyu, USDA Prime, and dry-aged beef.
What is Kurobuta Pork?
Kurobuta Pork is a Japanese standard for prime pork. To put it simply, Kurobuta is to pork what wagyu is to beef. Kurobuta pork comes from heritage Berkshire pork. It is known for its intense flavor, a richer color, and tender bite. The high-fat content is what produces a beautiful marbling and tenderness in the meat, much like we look for in a juicy rib-eye steak.
Because Kurobuta is rarer than other standard pork breeds, it is not the same pork we often see at our local markets. Currently, you would need a specialty butcher or a trusted online retailer of prime meat to source Kurobuta pork.
I was sent two beautiful racks of Kurobuta pork from the folks at Snake River Farms to try in my kitchen. It arrived to my meat lab all the way in the far reaches of Maine in an eco-friendly package with water dissolvable styrofoam and dry ice. Each rack of pork was still frozen in their airtight seal. This product did ship during the winter months, which I am sure plays a roll in the level of defrosting, but the packaging was very well thought out to keep the meat cold for shipping.
How to order a rack of pork
Ordering a rack of pork can be confusing. How much will you need to feed your guests? And since you will most likely need to special order the pork, knowing just how much you need is important.
The basic rule of thumb for ordering a rack is 1 pound per person, including the weight of the bone. This leaves about 1/2 to 3/4 pound per guest. I generally go with one bone per guest, with an extra rib for those who will come back for seconds.
I don't often see full racks of pork at my local market and have special ordered each time. Find a local butcher and make sure you are giving yourself ample time ahead of your dinner party to order your rack of pork. Online meat companies like Snake River Farms, that specialize in heritage breed pork, make ordering simple. By the rack. Each rack is 10 to 12 ribs.
How to Cook a Rack of Pork
When it comes to cooking large cuts, low and slow is where it is at. Rack of Pork is ideal for roasting in the oven or smoking, for a steady even heat to guarentee a perfect 145-degree internal temp when slicing. A rack of pork is often not as thick as a prime rib or whole turkey, cutting the cook time down a bit.
A good sear at the start, or browning under the broiler, can help form a perfect crust that we all love. In the method below, I sear the rack first, in a hot skillet, before placing in the oven.
Also, a meat thermometer is essential for any large cut, especially a rack of pork. Overcooked pork can be dry and tough, but we don't want it undercooked in the center either. With large cuts, a simple finger poke isn't a sure way to test if the meat is one. Using a wireless meat thermometer for cooking is your best bet to a perfectly cooked rack.

Fall Off The Bone BBQ Ribs
The warmer weekends are coming and there are certain foods that will absolutely make you want to get out your barbecue apron and start grilling! Ribs is one of those meals that comes to mind for me for many reasons. Although it is debatable to some chefs out there, the slow cooker is the ultimate way to make fall of the bone ribs. There is nothing quite so delicious when the meat it tender and literally falls off as you bite. The sauce has to be thick and tangy and the more ribs the better! I am not even an avid meat eater but when these slow cooker ribs are on the table, I cannot resist seconds and thirds and sometimes even fourths!
There are not a lot of food focused websites that produce both the quality and the quantity of recipes as Six Sisters Stuff. Maybe it is because there are six of them! Whatever the case, this rib recipe combines some of my favorite ingredients including barbecue sauce and brown sugar! What I love about this recipe is that they use store bought barbecue sauce! Yes, there are delicious recipes that you can make your own, but sometimes life is just so busy that you just want things to be simple. To be fair though, there are varieties of barbecue sauce from the store that are much better than others. Avoid MSG, avoid corn syrup and avoid dyes, colors and flavors.
For the entire list of ingredients and instructions visit the link below to the 'Six Sisters' website. We cannot say enough about how much we love this recipe and this website! Bon appetit!
Oh and don't forget, if you are planning to make this meal, try a little side bowl of warm lemon water for all your guests and plenty of napkins!

Ky. plans to put state inmates back in private prisons
In 2013, Kentucky ended its use of several private prisons because of allegations of inmate abuse and mistreatment, and other problems
By John Cheves
Lexington Herald-Leader
LEE COUNTY, Ky. — Gov. Matt Bevin's administration is preparing to place state inmates in a private prison in Lee County four years after former Gov. Steve Beshear decided to end Kentucky's use of for-profit lockup.
On Tuesday, the state awarded a contract to the Louisville law firm of Wyatt Tarrant and Combs to "assist in drafting and finalizing a complex contract for operation of a private prison in Lee County, to accommodate prisoners in state custody due to serious overcrowding problems at existing state correctional facilities."
Afterward, the law firm will help draw up contracts for private prison use at closed prisons elsewhere in Kentucky, according to the contract. The contract, not to exceed $30,000, runs from May 8 through June 30, 2018.
One Eastern Kentucky lawmaker said she opposes a return to private prisons.
For-profit companies traditionally spend less than the government does on correctional officers; inmate food and health care; and educational, vocational and addiction treatment programs for inmates, said state Sen. Robin Webb, D-Grayson, who sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee.
"At some point we have to decide if we're really in the business of corrections of if we're just warehousing people," Webb said. "There are good reasons why we quit using these places, why the federal government quit using these places. State prisoners are a responsibility that should be overseen by the state, not handed off to someone else."
Although lawyers have been hired, nothing about the prisons has been finalized, said Mike Wynn, spokesman for the Kentucky Justice and Public Safety Cabinet, which oversees the state Department of Corrections.
"Corrections is still reviewing their options with regard to private prisons, but no final decisions have been made yet," Wynn said. "The (law) firm is helping us determine the best contract vehicle – and the best policy safeguards to prevent issues of the past — should we pursue an option on private prisons."
In 2013, Kentucky ended its use of several prisons owned and operated by Nashville-based Corrections Corp. of America because of allegations of inmate abuse and mistreatment, and other problems.
CCA's Lee Adjustment Center in Beattyville, which has a capacity of 816 beds, was one of those prisons. Inmates rioted at the prison in 2004, and the state levied a $10,000 fine against CCA, saying the company failed to adequately respond to the riot.
The company also owns the Otter Creek Correctional Center in Wheelwright and the Marion Adjustment Center in St. Mary.
CCA last year changed its name to CoreCivic. Over the past two years, the company's political action committee has given at least $7,000 to the Republican Party of Kentucky and at least $4,500 to the Kentucky Democratic Party.
"We're always interested in discussing ways CoreCivic can provide solutions to the challenges governments face," company spokesman Jonathan Burns said Thursday. "We stand ready to work with the state of Kentucky to address the unique needs of its correctional population."
Despite attempts by the General Assembly to reduce Kentucky's explosive prison growth, in part by steering nonviolent drug addicts toward treatment rather than incarceration, 10 of the state's 12 prisons are overcrowded, as are many local jails that hold state inmates either awaiting trial or serving time for lesser felonies. On average, local jails are at 120 percent of their maximum capacity, according to a legislative research report issued in November.
Kentucky's state prisons held 12,084 inmates this week, with 11,414 more held at local jails and 438 living in halfway houses, according to the Kentucky Department of Corrections.

Artists are usually eager to attach their names to their work. But when the art in question is also considered vandalism, signing the same name that appears on your birth certificate could land you on the wrong side of the law. As such, discretion is key for the two artists currently exhibiting their work at The Arsenal.
The compelling new show features "vandal" artists Hank Miller and Steven Bay (not their real names), both of whom have made a name for themselves—just not their real names—producing railcar art and documenting the vagabond subculture surrounding it. The show features a huge variety of work, especially for such a small space: old newspaper clippings on boxcar art, drawings, paintings, sketches and photographs—all focused on the underworld of trains, stations and yards, along with the "hobos" who live and create therein.
"Hank Miller" is an artist/railroad historian perhaps best known by his moniker: a simple, curvy steamroller signed Ed Haskey. Monikers are simple line drawings made in pastel or crayon that serve as personal brands for boxcar artists.
Miller, now middle-aged, has spent considerable time living in the underground train culture, as well as working for a railroad company. He has a deep appreciation of trains, switching yards, and the lifestyle, including the language and symbology, of those who ride the rails.
As for his more "conventional art," that is, not the work he inscribes on boxcars and buildings, Miller draws the people he used to see in those railyards—mostly hardened, bearded men wearing secondhand clothes, trapped in the barren world of switching yards and stations.
Whereas Miller's best work is typically seen on the sides of trains, Steven Bay presents a collection of photographs and drawings that illustrate the transient, rail-riding lifestyle.
Much of his work came about because, as Bay puts it, "I like adventure." And it shows. His work captures the outliers of America's vast transit culture: runaways, rail workers and vagrants—all with a natural serenity; lonely and tranquil landscapes; mystical portraits and, in a change of pace, thrilling action on the periphery of trains or train yards. His casual drawings take inspiration from abstract expressionism and cubism. "I like to draw characters more than humans," he says.
"Vandal" art may seem like a hidden, evanescent world, perhaps even more so than conventional graffiti. But monikers are, in fact, surprisingly influential and enduring.
Marking who you are, where you've been, with what's on your mind—and then leaving it for others to find—is an even older tradition, perhaps as old as humanity itself. And that shared desire is what makes the Arsenal show so resonant. As Miller puts it, it's "spreading news, venting … anything I wanted to say."

Over the past few weeks, we've seen the long partnership between Tiger Woods and "Stevie" Williams end in a messy breakup.
This happens fairly frequently in sports.
Two athletes form a successful bond over several years, and it all comes crashing down in a blaze of bitter, immature glory.
We went back through the last ten years and found ten of the messiest sports splits.
Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal (2003)
It's the ultimate example of two superstars failing to coexist.
The tension heated up before the 2003-04 season.
"Bryant was now venting in front of teammates, vowing to leave at the end of the season when he'd be a free agent, that is, to get away from O'Neal," the LA Times' Mark Heisler wrote in his book on the feud.
Eventually, LA traded Shaq to Miami, breaking up the tandem.

Lleyton Hewitt and Kim Clijsters (2004)
A literal breakup!
Hewitt and Clijsters were engaged in 2003 before the Belgian women's tennis star called it off.
One of Hewitt's friends told the San Diego Tribune:
He's angry, embarrassed, devastated, distraught – all that stuff. He's been kicked in the guts and he has been kicked in the guts internationally and embarrassingly.
Source: San Diego Tribune
Terrell Owens and Donovan McNabb (2005)
T.O.'s promising 2004 season devolved into chaos going into 2005.
Owens started the breakup by saying he "wasn't the guy who got tired in the Super Bowl," in reference to McNabb's performance in Super Bowl XXXIX.
McNabb responded coldly, saying, "He has no desire to talk to me. I have no desire to talk to him."
The Eagles suspended Owens for being a "destructive and continuing threat" to the team, and eventually traded him to Dallas.

Frank McCourt and Jamie McCourt (2009)
The children always bear the brunt of divorces, and that was the case with the Dodgers when owners Frank and Jamie McCourt divorced in 2009.
The two are currently locked in an on-going legal battle that is bleeding the baseball team dry.
In the end, they'll probably lose the franchise all together.
Source: Fox Sports
Isiah Thomas and Magic Johnson
The friendship between the two Hall of Famers came to an end in 2009 when Magic claimed that Isiah questioned his sexuality in 1991.
Thomas said he was "blindsided" by the news.
"I wish he would have had the courage to say this stuff to me face to face, as opposed to writing it in some damn book to sell and he can make money off it," he said.
Source: Sports Illustrated
Brad Childress and Brett Favre (2009)
Childress tried to remove Favre from a game against Carolina in 2009. But after a "heated discussion," Favre stayed in the game.
It's never a good sign when a quarterback has more power than a coach. Childress was fired a year later.
Source: NBC Sports
Lane Kiffin and the entire state of Tennessee (2010)
When Lane Kiffin left the University of Tennessee for USC after just 14 months on the job, Knoxville went nuts.
Groups of angry students and fans began surrounding the football complex after the news leaked that Kiffin had taken the USC job. Eventually, it evolved into a mob-like scene, with police moving in and barricading Johnny Majors Drive in front of the football complex.

LeBron James and Dan Gilbert (2010)
When LeBron spurned Cleveland with The Decision, Cavs owner Dan Gilbert responded with an absurd, Comic Sans-fonted screed.
"This shocking act of disloyalty from our home grown 'chosen one' sends the exact opposite lesson of what we would want our children to learn. And 'who' we would want them to grow-up to become," he wrote.
Source: ESPN
Carson Palmer and Mike Brown (2011)
Palmer pleaded with the Cincinnati Bengals to trade, but owner Mike Brown was having none of it.
"If he is going to walk away from his commitment, we aren't going to reward him for doing it," Brown said last month.
Brown's refusal effectively forced Palmer into retirement.

Tiger Woods and Steve Williams (2011)
After Woods fired Williams in July, the caddie went off on his old boss.
"I'm a very big stickler for loyalty and I stuck with Tiger through his difficult period when a lot of people thought I should have left his side," he said.
After winning the Bridgestone on the bag of Adam Scott, Williams called the tournament "the best week of my career."
