PEPPA was an innocent 7 month old Pure bred Husky out on a drive with her family when she was shot and killed - we WANT JUSTICE for Peppa!
Peppa and her family were out on a drive on Anzac Day - April 25th 2013.
At around 8am the family pulled over near a Pine Plantation on Hunter Road - Yallourn North, Victoria so that Peppa could go to the toilet.
Peppa went to the toilet and had come back to the car to have a drink and get her lead back on. Just as this was happening a car pulled up about 100 metres down the road over the crest of the hill, at which point, Peppa took off in the direction of the car.
Within 30 seconds, the Grant's heard a gunshot.Ms Grant said she then heard another two cars pull up and as Jason made his way down the hill in pursuit of Peppa, he saw a group of people return to the vehicles and drive off.Two passed Ms Grant who was still at the top of the hill.
"The people in one of the cars smiled and waved at me and at that point I thought 'they haven't done anything'.
"But Jason followed a trail of blood to the trees where Peppa lay deceased".
Using a car registration number Jason had taken down, Moe police tracked the owner of one of the vehicles, who admitted to shooting Peppa.
"He told us he believed the dog was a wild dog and he didn't see any identification marks," Sergeant Darren Eldridge said.Ms Grant rejected this, insisting Peppa was wearing a collar and ID tags, which Jason later removed when he found her dead.
Sgt Eldridge said the man involved "expressed a lot of remorse in relation to what has occurred" and police would not pursue the matter further.
"A tragic set of circumstances led to the misidentification of the dog," he said.
We demand that the person(s) responsible are investigated by the Moe Police over the death of Peppa and cruelty charges laid.

The Federal Reserve is not only keeping interest rates steady for the time being, but the Fed's projected interest rate movement schedule now shows lower rates than previously expected.
The Fed is keeping its benchmark lending rate at a range between 2.25% and 2.5%, and the average Fed board member now sees rates remaining further from 3.5%.
What does this mean for retirement investors?
Finding new income assets in which to reinvest interest income with a low risk of losing capital will now be harder. "Investors, for the rest of their lives, are unlikely to be reinvesting money into higher yielding short term rates or long rates," said Brian Levitt, senior investment strategist at Oppenheimer Funds. "You're going to have to source income from other places."
Levitt suggests looking at high yield bonds, which can often be correlated wit the stock market, the senior loan market, which is less risky, international non-U.S. dollar investments, among others. "Investors are going to have to be creative to find other ways to generate income within the risk parameters that they've set for themselves," Levitt said.
Related. There's a Historic Shift Going on at the Fed
Clearly, the Fed is not projecting high inflation, but risk-free treasuries still have pretty low yields, so finding higher yield elsewhere may be worth a look.
The really good news? "The Fed is now going to be on hold for the next couple of years, and I view that as a positive sign for risk assets, Levitt said. When spreads between yields of risk free assets and riskier assets increase, investors become more willing to take the risk of holding the higher yielding asset. Plus, lower rates put less pressure on borrowers' ability to repay debt.

Dominica : Calibishie
Dominica Banana Farm
1.74 acres of land, with pretty views to the sea, and a stream along one boundary.
The land shown opposite, is cultivated and presently used for growing bananas, but also has breadfruit and coconut trees.
The land is reasonably flat near the road, and then slopes down to a small stream, which flows along the lower boundary.
The best views to the sea, are from the front of the property overlooking the road.
The property is located approx. 600 yards from the popular village of Calibishie, along a newly paved concrete road, serving only a few farms.
Mains electricity, phone and internet, are approximately 600 yards from the land.
This is a good property for a large family home or small rural get-a-way, with more than sufficient space for a house, large garden and swimming pool.
For further information on this property click on the Contact Us buttons at the top or bottom of this page.
Alien Landholding LicenseUnder a revision of the law in April 2008, all foreign buyers are required to pay an Alien Landholding fee of 10% of the property value to the Dominica government. Foreigner's buying more than 1 acre of land for personal use, or more than 3 acres of land for business purposes, are also required to apply to the government for an Alien's Land Holding License, which can take several months to process.
Dominica Transfer FeesTransfer fees on real estate are payable by the purchaser and total 20.5% of the property value :-10% alien landholders fee4% stamp duty2.5% judicial fees1% assurance fund3% legal fees
The seller has to pay 2.5% stamp duty on the market value of the land being sold.
Planning PermissionAll new construction, changes to existing buildings, or changes of use, require planning permission. In most cases permission is granted within 8 weeks of making an application.
The entire buying process is relatively simple and often purchases of homes or small parcels of land not requiring the approval of an Alien Landholders License, can be completed in a matter of one to two weeks. Where an Alien Landholders License is required, the buying process can usually be completed in 4 to 6 months

Major Causes of Car Collisions by:Rainier Policarpio
The prevailing dangers on our roadways are in fact the most dreaded cause of carcollisions and accidents that lead to serious injuries and fatalities among the victims.
In fact, in Los Angeles alone, an alarming number of car collision cases have been reported during the last few years resulting to great damages to lives and properties. Thus, no one may declare that he is completely safe from accidents despite his abidance of the traffic rules and other precautionary measures.
Here are some of the major causes of car collisions and accidents:
Driver incompetence - a great number of drivers lack the proper training on road safety. Many of them even defy the traffic regulations such as tail gaiting, over speeding and many more road rules that tend to protect the motorists, including them, from harm.
DUI driving or intoxication - driving a car after drinking liquor excessively is very dangerous for it impair driving capabilities. Thus, the law strictly prohibits the too much intake of alcohol or other illegal substances especially when driving a car.
Distractions - motorists are expected to exercise extreme concentration in driving. However, so many distractions tend to divert their attentions and make their driving too risky. Examples are active discussions with the passengers; improper use of cell phones; loud car stereos and many others.
Heavy rains - weather is also a great factor in a safe road travel. The studies show that many car accidents happen during bad weather conditions - making the road surfaces slippery and affecting clear visibility.
Poor road design - the state has the obligation to make sure that our roadways are properly designed and safe for public use. However, there are times that this responsibility is not taken into account and not strictly administered.
As the government sets up road safety signs and equipment, it should always take into priority that these never, in any cases, would cause any unlikely incidents, which put the lives of many individuals at stake.
Vehicle defects - motorists and car owners should never fail to have an overall check up on the vehicle's mechanical and technical aspects. Doing these precautions surely lessens the chances of road catastrophes, which are primarily caused by vehicle defects.
Meanwhile, it has been an accepted idea that it is certainly not an assurance or a guarantee that you're being disciplined and extra careful can refrain you from experiencing and encountering road accidents and disasters.
Yet, the law prescribes that a person who has been injured due to somebody's neglect can afford to file a personal injury claim and demand for such fitting damages.

Man bringing down law from Sinai
This universal idea is best expressed through planets in
22nd degree of Pisces (21°- 22°)
Our spiritual understandings need to be expressed finally
in terms of behaviour and responses to others
Some of life's mysteries are self-revealing – as we stumble along we learn by trial and error. Yet some laws of life are to be revealed because they are counter-intuitive and need us to put aside the demands of the fearful ego. One obvious example is the Golden Rule – do as you'd be done by. The problem with Moses and the Ten Commandments is that such an imposed mandate is quickly warped by power-possessors from spiritual guidelines into enforced regulations. Life certainly has its laws – the law of gravity for example – but these are at another level of truth than the supposed laws of society, which are in fact politically motivated regulations such as the property laws.
A prophet carrying tablets of the new law is walking down the slope of mount Sinai
Some people take on the responsibility to make known to the world a spiritual code
To climb a mountain and receive a God-given directive that guides and instructs is – at least symbolically –something we are all capable of.
We probably all have such inner aspirations – mostly hidden of course. With such a divine mandate, a person takes on a higher burden of responsibility as their duty to make known to the world what they believe is a legitimate code by which to live. Certainly this appears to be the case when it is a generally accepted aspect of society that everyone has a right to their point of view about the meaning of life, which right is fiercely and emotionally defended. This is true whether or not they have the background or intellect to comprehend subtle questions of philosophy or morality.
For the improvement of mankind, ultimately we are given to self-sacrifice – to put aside the fulfilment of personal wants and needs in order to align our purposes with those that we perceive to serve God's will and the greatest common good.
What we enjoy or endure as our experience of life can be considered mundane or spiritual according to our perceptions. The point is to overcome any inclinations of the fearful ego to see itself as more important or less important, and simply see that life itself – in every detail – is potentially a mystical encounter.
The very existence of the concept of spirituality needs to be carefully considered. If nothing is spiritual, or if everything is spiritual, then we have no legitimate purpose for the concept of spirituality. Surely, 'is it spiritual or not?' is a matter of free will? And we are free to choose whether to go through life seeing it all as a spiritual experience.
Why does society create institutions for the welfare of people in need? Is this really the inevitable arising out of the survival instinct, to protect our tribe's genetic bloodline? Some would say it is more properly understood as an expression of the inherent kindness of humanity, a mandate which speaks of our innate spirituality.
Kindness is just one of the many ideals to which a person aspires, which we have collectively adopted as indications of goodness. The very fact of these ideals registers throughout eternity as the signature of humanity's spiritual condition. From time to time these ideals are described and defined by inspired individuals, whom we call prophets and whom we so often raise up as role models and custodians of morality.

Sephora Play! Smarts – Glitter Eyes for Real Life
Every once in while, Sephora Play! puts out a supplemental box that can be purchased outside of the Play! subscription. I've passed the last few, due to either duplicative or lackluster products. I did not pass on THIS one.
The "Glitter Eyes for Real Life" box was $20 and the real reason I added the box to my cart was the rose gold mermaid pouch! My daughter is crazy for sequined mermaid fabric – she has a bunch of the pillows and she fusses with them constantly. When I get tired of playing with it, it's hers.
Also in the "Glitter Eyes" box: Benefit Bad Girl Bang Volumizing Mascara (I just cracked it open today – this is my new go-to mascara); Grande Lash MD Lash Enhancing Serum (if I paint this on my upper lip every night, will it help me grow a John Waters mustache?); Sephora Collection Contour Eye Pencil 12HR wear Waterproof in "Black Lace"; stila Magnificent Metals Glitter & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow in "Kitten Karma" (I just started using the sample I already had and this stuff is the SHIT); Ole Henriksen Banana Bright Eye Creme; and Bite Beauty Prismatic Pearl Multistick in "Rose Pearl". The kit also came with a set of cards for each product with application tips and eye shadow looks. There's also a free webcast on July 15th. The box is still available – CLICK HERE.
OH! and I also added a $5 Sephora Watermelon after-sun mask to my cart – I have avoided sunburn so far this summer, but I still feel like my skin is taking a beating. My $25 purchase (and a promo code) granted me an extra sample – Benefit The POREfessional Pearl Primer (interested to try it). My other chosen samples were it Cosmetics Confidence in a Cleanser, IGK Hot Girls Hydrating Shampoo & Conditioner, and Sunday Riley C.E.O. Rapid Flash Brightening Serum.
If you're interested in finding out about the monthly box, join up now. Sephora Play is only $10/month. You can sign up at sephora.com/play.
Anyone who knows me even casually, knows that I have a thing for pink flamingos. They're in my yard, in my house, on my clothes. Those who REALLY know me, know how much I love Pink Flamingos, starring the one and only Divine. And thanks to Kat Von D, now I can have Pink Flamingos in my makeup!
I've been eagerly anticipating the release of the Kat Von D x Divine Collection since sneak peaks started appearing online last year. It was finally released on VD, but didn't hit Sephora's site until the 17th. Yup, I ordered the morning of the 17th and it arrived just a few days later…
I ordered the whole collection, which consisted of the I am Divine Palette ($38), with eight all-new eye shadows, inspired by Divine. I also picked up the Studded Kiss Creme Lipstick in "Divine" ($19), which is a creamy pinky nude. It's the new Studded Kiss formula, too – super creamy and soft on the lips.
Before I start talking about the palettes, I'll mention my samples. Yes, I finally received samples with a Sephora order! I placed my order via my PC instead of using the app and I hate to say it, but I think that might be the key. I got three foil packets: belif: The True Cream – Aqua Bomb (my jam); Korres Greek Yoghurt Foaming Cream Cleanser; and Josie Maran 100% Pure Argan Oil.
I also used a code to get a deluxe sample of of stila Magnificent Metals Glitter & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow in "kitten karma" (haven't had a chance to try it yet).
Just $875 to Sephora Rouge for 2019. If Kat keeps up with the releases like she did laast year, that won't be an issue.
Obviously, I couldn't wait to play with the palette.
The first time I try an eye shadow, I put it straight on my face, without any kind of primer. As you can see, there's a decent amount of pigmentation even without primer. The green ("Pink Flamingos" ironically) really needs a primer to pop, but the matte blue ("Waters") pops without it, as does the dark blue shimmer under my eyes ("Baltimore"). I'll be honest, I'll get more use out of the neutral colors in the palette, but I WILL use this palette.
The lipstick is very close to my natural skin tone. I tried it alone and was not wowed. I overlined my lips with "Lolita" Everlasting Lip Liner and it made all the difference in the world.
I am not at all disappointed in this palette and lippie – great job Kat!
December 2017 Birchbox – On the Dot, Off the Cuff
This month's Birchbox was a "Hail Mary" pass – I was all set to cancel my subscription until I saw the goodies in this month's fabulous box. I'd had weak boxes for the last several months and now that the point system has been overhauled…but lo and behold…an amazing box! They've earned a brief reprieve.
I was expecting the Davines MINU Illuminating Shampoo – For Color-Treated Hair – it was my sample choice this month. The box also came with foil packs of Davines MINU Illuminating Conditioner – For Color-Treated Hair and Davines MINU Hair Serum – For Color-Treated Hair. Bahhhhh….foil packs….no….
The goodies I wasn't expecting: Stila Cosmetics HUGE Extreme Lash Mascara (they messed up and I got TWO of these!); Lavanila The Healthy Fragrance Pure Vanilla Eau de Parfum (eh); LOC Liquid Shimmer Shadow in "Eclipse"; and Sunday Riley C.E.O. Rapid Flash Brightening Serum. Oh, and I almost forgot…an eyelash curler. A FUCKING eyelash curler. Does anyone even use those anymore?

October Birchbox – Behind the Scenes Beauty
…And I'm back to the curated box option this month.
Really, I wanted the Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate. Kiehl's is really good stuff! I'm also happy to try the Matrix Biolage R.A.W. Uplift Shampoo and Conditioner – matching deluxe samples of each! No foil packs!
Also in this month's "Behind the Scenes Beauty" box: [comfort zone] Hydramemory Cream Gel and Stila Cosmetics Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner (I feel like I have at least 6 of these).
Quite a good box this month…keep it up, Birchbox!

August Birchbox – Easy Does It
Yup, I had to get the curated box again. It's like I just can't handle surprises anymore…
I'm a big fan of the stila liquid lipsticks, so I mostly chose it just for the stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in "Aria". I thought it would be a dusty red, but it turned out to be more berry – I love it. Also in this month's box: Dr. Jart+ Water Fuse Ultimate Hydro Gel (I'm about to use up all my Water Drop, so woo!); Living proof. Restore Mask Treatment; pur-lisse Blue Lotus Seed Mud Mask (yasss); and amika Bombshell Blowout Spray (my 3rd or 4th one).
Box is somewhat mediocre, but enough to get me through. I heard that Wal-mart is in talks to buy Birchbox…if that happens – I don't know if I'll keep it. Hmmmm….

Review – Wet n Wild Megalast Liquid Catsuit Liquid Lipstick
It's been a minute since I've done a full on product review, but I had ALL Saturday to myself and I had myself a little swatch party…
I'd been considering trying out Wet n Wild's new Megalast Liquid Catsuit Liquid Lipsticks since they launched at the end of 2016. I've spent hundreds of dollars on liquid lipsticks in the past year or so – at $18-$20 each. Could a $4.99 product really match products that cost 3-4 times the price?
If you're too lazy to read any further, the short answer is YES. If you're NOT lazy, I'll continue.
I started slowly, buying "Give Me Mocha" at Walgreen's a few weeks ago. I was so impressed with the formula, that I started looking for a few more colors to test. It took a few trips to different Walgreen's and Targets, but I also snagged "Rebel Rose" and "Goth Topic", also snagging three more tubes to send to my lipstick buddy, Sally. They started their voyage to Scotland a week ago yesterday – I hope they get there soon!
Let's start with "Goth Topic". I'll admit it, I only bought it for the name. I spent so much time at Hot Topic in the 90s!
I don't wear dark lipsticks like this much anymore, but back in high school and college, this dark maroonish/brownish color was my jam. It's the 90s in one color.
I only had one color to compare it too – and it's not that hot a match. NYX Liquid Suede Creme Lipstick in "Club Hopper". The NYX lipsticks are only a bit more expensive at $6.99, so it's not much of a savings, but I found that "Goth Topic" – although thin – gave better coverage than "Club Hopper" and wore off my inner lips more slowly.
I'm suspecting that I'll rarely wear either of these, unless I want to really annoy my husband.
On to "Rebel Rose" – a dusty rose. I'll be honest, I thought that I had at least a handful of lipsticks that would match this one, but when I swatched them – they were all a little off. I wasn't able to find ANY exact matches, but I decided to show off the closest ones I found.
Jeffree Star Cosmetics "Gemini" is somewhat similar, but a bit more Terra Cotta leaning. I suspect that it is a closer match to Jeffree Star "Doll Parts", but I don't have that one yet. Soon.
Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in "Patina" is a bit closer, but leans more lavender. I really like the Stila Formula – it's not as drying as most others.
"Patina" lasts the longest of the three on me. It is also the most flattering, but "Rebel Rose" looks pretty amazing as well.
…and I saved the best for last. "Give Me Mocha" is similar to SO many of my lipsticks – at least a dozen, if not 20. I narrowed it down the the very closest of matches to share.
Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in "Lolita" is my absolute favorite matte liquid lipstick right now. It's not an exact match, but fairly close. I was hoping that Jeffree Star "Androgyny" (another favorite) would be a dupe, but it leans more mauve.
I found two from NYX that are very close: NYX Lip Lingerie in "Exotic" and NYX Intense Butter Gloss in "Chocolate Crepe". The Lip Lingerie has the matte staying power, but "Chocolate Crepe" is the closest color match….BUT, it's not a matte liquid lipstick. The Butter Gloss is a slimy gloss that gets all over the place.
If you want to be a babe on a budget, don't lose a minute's worth of sleep over saving a dime (or 150 dimes) by picking the Liquid Catsuit Liquid Lipstick. It lasts just as long as Jeffree or Kat Von D and the colors are decent. It doesn't smell weird and although thinner, a second coat fixes any thin coverage spots. I just wish they had more colors!
August Birchbox – Endless Summer
Seeing double? For some odd reason, I ended up with two identical Birchboxes this month…I guess I better check my credit card statement…
"Endless Summer"? Whoa…deja vu. I guess there's no way to know ahead of time that another subscription box will be using the same theme…
This month's curated Birchbox was an easy choice – I wanted that stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in "Patina" – that will be my lipstick tomorrow. Also in the box: Living Proof. No Frizz Nourishing Oil (it will go nicely with all the Living Proof. stuff I got in last month's box); Beauty Protector Protect & Detangle; Marcelle BB Cream Golden Glow; Acure Organics Coconut & Argan Oil Cleansing Towelettes; and Hum Nutirition Raw Beauty Green Superfood Powder (not sure what the fuck I'm gonna do with this…maybe sprinkle on yogurt?)

Beauty in Bloom
The last few Limited Edition boxes from Birchbox haven't been that exciting…but I was enticed by the "Beauty in Bloom" box. I can't pass up flowery products.
Inside this flower-filled box: Darphin Intral Toner; Davines Oi/Oil Absolute Beautifying Potion; Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist; Laura Geller Beauty Baked True Color Blush in "Maui" (so red – I can't wait to try it); Lollia Relax Shea Butter Handcreme (Lavender and Vanilla, but I can't smell anything through this blasted cold); Mally Eye-Amplifying Shadow Liner in "Stone" (taupe-ish); NEST Fragrances Grapefruit Classic Candle (even my husband said this smells "yummy"); NEST Fragrances Indigo Eau de Parfum (I'd been curious about NEST for a while – this one is very exotic smelling, almost like nag champa…but without the weedy undertones); Smith & Cult The Shining Lip Lacquer in "Hi-Speed Sonnet" (so glittery); stila Huge Extreme Lash Mascara; and an Umbra Prisma Tray (I'm not big on gold, but I really like the geometric styling of this jewelry tray). A GREAT deal!
Although the box was $64, I found a 20% code and used $10 in points, so the total was just $41.20.
Oh…in my free sample pack: Cynthia Rowley Beauty Eyeliner in "Silver" (my third one) and Cargo Swimmables Shadow Stick in "Dory" (like Finding Nemo!)

Oh Nouveau Cheap, you are so dangerous to me…the moment she posted Sephora Favorites Summerstash on sale for $30 (regularly $45), I jumped all over it.
Even though this set came out a year or two ago, I neeeeeeeded it. Inside the sassy gold canvas bag: Buxom Divine Goddess Luminizer in "Venus" (the product I am least likely to use); Deborah Lippmann Nail Lacquer in "Mermaid's Dream" (yassss); Josie Maran Coconut Watercolor Cheek Gelee; Marc Jacobs Beauty Mini Lash Lifter in "Blacquer"; Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes Waterproof Pencil (my big sis called dibs); NARS Travel Size "Laguna" Bronzing Powder; Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Stained Gloss in "New Wave" (AND it came with a brush!); stila Cosmetics Magnificent Metals Foil Finish Eye Shadow in "Kitten" (YASSSS); and Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray.
I finally used some points to get some goodies – Buxom Objects of Obsession (500 pts), which includes Mini Vanity Lash Mascara in "Show-Off Black"; Mini Hold the Line Waterproof Eyeliner in "I'll Be Waiting"; Mini Full-On Lip Cream in "Kir Royale"; and Mini Full-On Lip Polish in "Sophia". I also got two 100 pt items – Pink Gel Coat Nail Strengthener & Brightener and Liquid Blendercleanser.
I also used a code to get two extra samples – NARS Audacious Mascara in "Black Moon" and First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream – in addition to the three regular samples, Marc Jacobs "Decadence" (smells like the inside of a rich old lady's purse); Dr. Dennis Gross ferulic + retinol wrinkle recovery peel and Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer.
I may have too much mascara now…
July Birchbox – Go Bold
Birchbox must have heard my whining – my box arrived first this month, even before Julep.
July's theme was "Go Bold" – which is odd, because this isn't an overly bold box. Maybe somebody else got some bolder stuff. Inside this month's box: clariSEA Rapid Detox Charcoal Exfoliant (I'm turning into a charcoal junkie); a 2.5 ox bottle of Davines MINU Shampoo, with bonus foil packs of MINU conditioner and MINU hair serum (I get so annoyed by mismatched sizes in my samples); Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin Liquid (to match the cream I got last month?); Jouer Luminizing Moisture Tint; and stila look at me liquid lipstick in "bella" (sample choice for the month). I take it back – that hot pink lipstick is pretty bold!

[Verse 1: Big Sant]
I say my name so much cause I'm full of myself
Ya girl in the whip tryin' to pull on my belt
Told her hold on, this here I ain't gonna prolong
You know how much I pay for (?) you better go home
And inhale my cologne, I call it new bills
Fresh off the press, Sant dressed to kill
And I ain't say me name, I tell the chick keep walkin'
Stone cold stunnin' on a hoe like Steve Austin
Often crawlin', (?) on swingers
The whip crossed over, I'm wreckin' hoes anchor
Off the top, wrote with it like I'm Kurt Angle
Took a big dime, all she could say is thank you

Sell it to a hoe for the low like a pimp should
Fresh with a (?) sucka tie, gators no crocs
Shrimp on play, pussy on pop
Black on black, 'lac back more feel
Wrist out the window, chrome lips on the wheels
Tell her pucker up, buckle up

In and out like a rap song, beatin' like a trap song
Leanin', rockin' like a monkey like a snap song
Yea, that long, show you where the boss be

This season on The Real Housewives of Potomac, one thing is clear… Gizelle Bryant and Monique Samuels do not get along. But Charrisse Jackson Jordan is not surprised by this at all.
Even before she introduced the two, Charrisse had a feeling the two would clash. "I knew it was going to be an issue when I was going to bring her into the circle, I warned Monique. I said, 'Gizelle's not gonna like you.' I told her that from the door," Charrisse recently told The Daily Dish. "As a grown woman, I found it to be very petty, very juvenile, but it is what it is. I love Monique. I think she's a great person. She can stand on her own. If you ask her a question, she's gonna answer it. Sometimes, she can be a little wordy, but we all are."
Jordan believes the feud has more to do with Gizelle. "You want the honest answer as to why Gizelle wouldn't like Monique? Because Monique has everything Gizelle wants — a lot," Charrisse explained. "She has a man. She has beautiful homes. She has a lot of money. She can do whatever she wants when she wants. That's the life that Gizelle wants."
"Monique, she stands there and she rolls with the punches, so I love it. And it's very entertaining for me just to watch it," she said. "And it's not anything to do with me. It's just them. It's good."
But that doesn't mean that Charrisse isn't going to find herself in a whole lotta drama this season.

Founded by Pope Julius II in the early 1500s, the Vatican Museums display classical and religious works of art collected by the Popes throughout the centuries. Combined with the Sistine Chapel, they're visited by around six million people a year, ranking among the most-visited art museums in the world. On your exclusive after-hours, guided visit, explore the Candelabra Gallery, the Map Gallery, the Tapestries, and the Sistine Chapel… without crowds. So you'll be able to take your time to contemplate the inspirational treasures before you – including the spectacular Biblical frescoes on the ceiling, which took Michelangelo four years to paint, standing on a scaffold... and changed the course of western art.
Day 5
The Eiffel Tower was built by Gustave Eiffel for the 1889 Exposition Universelle, which was to celebrate the 100th year anniversary of the French Revolution. Only intended to last 20 years, it has remarkably endured more than 125. Since its own centennial in the 1980s, the monument has regularly been renovated, restored and adapted for an ever-growing public. Over the decades, the Tower has seen remarkable achievements, extraordinary light shows, and prestigious visitors, and served as a stage for many events of international significance. A mythical and audacious site, it has always inspired artists and challenges. And you'll not only visit the Eiffel Tower, but enjoy lunch at the 58 Restaurant right inside this iconic Parisian landmark.

Splendidly situated on the curve of Piazza Repubblica, neoclassical Palazzo Naiadi combines historic grandeur, 21st-century comforts, warm personal service and an ideal location in the heart of Rome. Dating from 1887, Palazzo Naiadi (formerly Boscolo Exedra Roma) is suspended over the 4th-century Diocletian Baths complex, whose excavated foundations you can see through the ground floor. History is everywhere, but so is the fun of being alive in Rome. Sip a drink on the rooftop pool terrace and watch the sun set over the cupolas of Rome. Enjoy the view from your elegant, neoclassical-style room. Or linger over coffee or an aperitivo on the Champagnerie terrace. If the water nymphs in the fountain could speak, what stories they could tell...

Mike Murray shares ten excellent tips for the drummer on your worship team. Here's a great example:
Keep a very sharp eye on the worship leader during rehearsal and also during the set – during rehearsal as he walks the band through each song, and during the set in case he wants to repeat a section or, in many cases, when he feels the need to vamp or "soak" in a particular moment. It's easy for a drummer to zone out at rehearsal while the leader is working the background vocalists, but don't let it happen to you. Stay dialed in. At a moment, he may be ready to pick it back up from the 2nd chorus leading into the bridge. You need to stay on the ready to arm the metronome – or "click" – and count everyone back in. I once heard a well-known touring/recording worship drummer say, "The drummer drives the bus, but the worship leader owns the bus." Make sure you lead the way with confidence, but remember the leader is in charge.
Some great advice for your favorite percussionist. Check out the whole list here.

In the Doc(k)
Published: 21st September 2014 06:01 AM | Last Updated: 21st September 2014 06:01 AM | A+A A-
Gone are the days where patients idolise doctors and hang on to every single word they say. Cases of patients suing doctors for medical negligence is rising at an alarming rate across the country. In 2009 the Supreme Court directed the Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS) in Hyderabad to pay `1 crore to a young engineer who became a paraplegic after a surgery went wrong. The medical team, without his consent, tried to remove a benign tumour in his chest resulting in damage connected to the spine, leaving the patient paralysed below the waist.
Similarly, in 2013, SC directed Advanced Medicare and Research Institute (AMRI) Hospital in Kolkata to pay `11.4 crore compensation to Dr Kunal Sinha for medical negligence, which led to his wife's death.
This has set off a trend in medical malpractice suits against doctors in the country. Today, one in ten general physicians and one in five surgeons have some problem or issue with patients about their treatment.
Since doctors have a limited knowledge about legal procedures and are eager to settle issues out of court, it leaves them susceptible to paying inadequately high amount of money as compensation. "Unfortunately, doctors are not taught about legal proceedings while studying MBBS.
Since most doctors spend half their lives in establishing medical practice, they are unaware about the legal aspects. Also, they neither have the time nor the patience to deal with cases," says Shailesh Ahluwalia, co-founder of Legal MD, which helps doctors deal with cases of medical negligence.
"Patients can even sue doctors over writing a wrong prescription. If this goes on, doctors will find it impossible to practise. These days, patients do not trust a single doctor's opinion. They usually take a second opinion where the other doctor might give a slightly different diagnosis. This results in suspicion," he says. As a result, doctors who are supposed to be focusing on treatment will instead be distracted by medico-legal cases.
The patients, on their part, feel that it is perfectly justified since they are completely entitled to protest against any misdiagnosis or surgical errors. Either way, doctor-patient trust takes a beating.
"When patients pay money from their own pocket for a treatment, they expect 100 per cent results. However, patients must understand that in medicine, the outcome can never be 100 per cent positive. Things can go wrong even under the most normal circumstances," explains Dr M Subrahmanyam, a top anesthesiologist in the city.
Explaining that suing doctors is not always the solution, he said, "If I treat 1000 patients, one of them may have an issue. While walking on the road, there is a chance that one in every thousand people might get injured. Who will they sue then? Just because they know that there is a person responsible for this, they decide to sue."
Dr Subrahmanyam also called for more trust among patients and doctors. "The main problem today is the lack of trust by patients on doctors. Patients are under the impression that doctors are always trying to rip them off. Even if they seek a second or a third opinion, other doctors will try different methods to achieve the same result. By consulting different doctors for the same issue, they are wasting time and money and all this time, their health will continue to deteriorate," he adds.
So while patients continue to find fault with doctors' diagnosis and doctors insist that they can't guarantee best result, it is perhaps in the best interest of everybody if there more trust is established between both parties.

Sea Lion Center
The Sealion Center on pier 39 is a small exhibit that is a part of the bay area aquarium.
The Center reached out to us looking for a way to bring in more people and encouraging them to stay longer. we observed the center for two weeks and came to the conclusion that adults often read most of the content around the center but children were finished playing after about five minutes so this is what we provided for them.
Lilly and leo
A full activity coloring book that would educate children about the sea lions. Featuring Lilly and Leo Two cartoon Sea lions created specifically for the sea lion center, the coloring book is intended to be taken home with donation information and opening times on the back for the parents.
A new layout optimizing their limited space.
Options for a movable interactive wall that would serve as a centerpiece of the exhibit.

I Messed Up
So, because I had a content planner, I thought I had to fill it. No page could be blank.
I still stand by content planners. It is a great way to keep track of content that I want to write, and when it makes the most sense for it to come out. And there is some stuff I'm actually excited about writing that's about to come out.
But then I also filled in the blanks with stuff that I didn't actually want to write. And feeling like I had to write something I didn't want to write was making me feel burned out.
And it hasn't even been two months. I messed up hardcore.
I'm absolutely fine with the fact there won't be daily content anymore, because there's plenty here for someone who just discovers the blog. And I'm still going to write. Fuller House, the Christmas episode of The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, and the 29th anniversary of The Simpsons are all coming out this week.
Plus, I've been watching a lot of Christmas movies that I might want to dissect. Okay, not a lot, per se. I've seen Elf and It's a Wonderful Life twice and both Home Alones four times. I have newfound feelings about the sequel. And I just bought A Christmas Story. Every year it comes on TV, I try to do a challenge to see how many times I can see it in 24 hours. I might attempt it early this year, though, since people have banned me from their TVs during the holidays.
I'm also playing around with Gutenberg so I can update my opinions on WordPress. So, there is still going to be content, and I'm going to be excited about the content.
It just won't be everyday.

I love it when something I read causes me to pause and then go back to read it again so it sticks. This morning it was this:
Great achievements are so often the product of a series of small things regularly done well over an extended period of time. Or, as the late Christian pastor Eugene Peterson liked to say, it's a "long obedience in the same direction."
I plan to memorize that.

Back to School Donation Drive.
Yes you heard right, Santa is gearing up over the summer to help 150+ children from Cornerstone Community Outreach Program get ready for the next school year.
Our Santa Program supports the Cornerstone Community Outreach which offers shelter and services to homeless and low-income families and individuals through a variety of programs on the North-side of Chicago.
I'm sure you know how hard that first day of a new school year is, but imagine if you had to be the homeless child showing up without school supplies or a clean uniform. We're just trying to make a difference one child at a time.
You can help us in many ways to make it just a little easier on these children that attend 6 different schools in Chicago. Please take time to go through your own children's cloths and shoes and anything that doesn't fit them please pack up and ship to us or drop off at one of our Drop Off Locations. Clothes, shoes, Tshirts, gently used or new socks and underwear will be greatly appreciated.
When you're out shopping for your own children buy an extra something to donate.
And of course the most important help with a back to school donation drive is CASH DONATIONS! As a non-profit, we can shop tax free and certain locations give us an additional discount (so your money goes a little farther).
TO MAKE A DONATION: You can make a PayPal donation of any monetary amount, send a check or send a Target gift card. We'll use the donations to purchase backpacks, school supplies and school uniforms. Our Santa Shoppers know how to stretch a dollar.
This year we are also continuing our shoe fundraising drive for the children. Imagine how exciting going to pick out a brand new pair of shoes to wear your first day of school. The social workers will take the children on a shopping spree to Target and Payless Shoes to pick out their very own pair of shoes. Of course the more money we raise, the more children that will have new shoes.
Check out our program.

Last weekend I was honoured enough to be present to witness the wedding of two wonderful friends and feel a bit guilty for wearing a dress that is eligible for a "tight ass Tuesday" post however it's what I do so I'm sure they understand that my budget dress is no way a reflection of how I feel about them!
I picked my dress based on both their personalities – cheerful, happy, positive and young. As the wedding was in a garden by the sea I have accessoried with flat sandals and a combination of wood and leather jewellery for a more casual look.
Did I mention the handsome Groom happened to be my ex boyfriend, a slightly unconventional friendship! A few conversations I've had around the place lately have prompted me to write about my thoughts on ex's and friendship, and I'm not talking weird post-relationship friends where jealousy and constant texting are still rampant, I'm talking true friendship.
Firstly, there needs to be a good period of distance for a real friendship to form… It's very difficult (almost impossible?) to transition straight from a relationship to friendship without some time apart to evaluate your frame of mind, for me this took about a year! Another important factor is also to ask yourself why you are remaining friends. Is it out of guilt (if you broke it off)? Is it out of comfort and security? These are not good reasons to remain friends as they are borne of feelings which remain from a relationship.
Boundaries – To allow yourself and your ex to move on these are so important, you cannot place the same expectations on each other that you once had. You must remember that as friends you no longer have partner privileges which means you cannot use the same pet names, cannot expect instant call/text backs, cannot expect them to be your knight/lady in shining armour when things go wrong. A friend of mine started dating a guy who would always get calls from his ex when she needed emotional support or help with something and he would always drop everything and go to her aid. The last straw for my friend was when he got a call at 3am from the ex saying she had diarrhoea and he promptly rushed to her house in the early hours of the morning to be by her side. Needless to say my friend was not there when he returned home…
Friendship is not your saviour, if you had issues around communication, differing opinions or simply they annoyed the shit out of you these issues will ALL still be there! As friends these things may bother you less but friendship is not a silver bullet to all your problems, if you can't get past these issues then it sounds like there is no point in maintaining a friendship.
Moving on is the final and most definitive step and will likely trigger many painful emotions that you had previously thought you'd already dealt with. Many of the ex-couples I know who truly thought they were friends could not get past this last hurdle. This step is difficult and my only suggestion is that you have to be incredibly respectful to your or your ex's new relationship – making sure the new partner is comfortable with your ex's presence, ensuring they get see your interaction with your ex, and again knowing the boundaries. It's at this stage that you will realise if the friendship will work with everyone moving on and being mates (new partners included) or the friendship will slowly dwindle out on it's own.
The Groom and I have been lucky enough to survive the process and he even turned to my husband for diamond ring advice when he made his decision to propose. I have also gained a beautiful new friend in the process and last weekend I cryed… I never cry at weddings yet I bawled tears (and snot) of joy at how happy they would be together for the rest of their lives.

Timing your Strength and Cardio workouts throughout the week.
I've had tons of clients ask me about how they should be timing their workouts.
Can I work out twice in the same day?
Should I do cardio or strength first?
What about working out on back to back days?
Generally it will depend on what you're looking to do. You can work out twice in a day and on back to back strength training days. But you have to be careful to not over exert yourself, especially if you're not used to exercising consistently.

The thought of Josh's first fight in the arena shook me out of my reverie. I was sleeping alongside Jacob now in his bed at night. I'd become a kept man. Jacob brought me little gifts like books and a laptop to pass the endless hours I was locked in his room. He was addicted to my touch and lapped up any chance to let me worship his body; and the comfort of keeping him happy made our sex like a drug to me. I quickly began craving it, knowing deep down my safety depended on it.
Josh's first fight was scheduled only a week into our captivity but life for me was already routine. I only got to see Josh one additional time in that first week, and I suspect it was more for his sake than mine. Even so, it was a relief to see him and I passed on what little I knew about the layout and people of the place.
Having missed the other bouts lined up after Ronan's loss, I dreaded having to sit through multiple fights before seeing Josh when the day finally arrived, but being the new kid in the arena he was scheduled first, just as Perseus had been for his first fight.
"Josh!" I called out, extending a hand as though I could reach him. I saw him mouth my name back, but it was impossible to hear him over the noise. Dressed in the same skin tight shorts that I was wearing, his body glistened in the light. I couldn't tell from this distance if he was oiled up or sweating, but his good looks and physique were certainly pleasing the crowd.
The hidden announcer boomed across the speakers: "And his opponent, from the House of Main and going for his fifth straight win, put your hands together for The MAN…TRAAA!"
With his grandstanding over, Mantra stepped up to Josh and shook his hand. They exchanged a few words and I wished I could lip read. The sight of the handshake gave me hope that it would be a fair fight though. The clean cut look of Mantra strengthened that view.
Josh and Mantra backed away a few steps and prepared to fight. They circled, waiting for the other to make the first move. Mantra launched with a kicked that Josh easily deflected but Mantra expected the response and spun with his other foot, landing it in Josh's ribs.
Josh stumbled, clutching his side and Mantra dove in behind him wrapping an arm around Josh's throat and hauling him into a half nelson. Josh fell into Mantra. His pinned arm reached behind him, clasping the back of Mantra's head. He hauled forward, falling to a knee and flipping Mantra over his shoulder.
The crowd cheered as Mantra hit the ground and Josh pinned him with a knee on his face. With one arm trapped under Josh, Mantra struck out with his other, but Josh grabbed it, clasping the wrist and bending the fingers back.
On the ground, Mantra cried out with pain. He lifted his mid section off the ground and tried twisted out of the hold, but Josh held firm. I could see Mantra going red in the face. He kicked up, back flipping completely, his legs striking Josh in the head, knocking him off as Mantra ended the flip on his feet. He leapt on Josh, bowling him over backwards and landing in a sitting position on Josh's chest, pinning his arms beneath his knees.
Josh kicked out and bought a knee up into his opponent's back but Mantra steadied himself with a hand on the ground and closed his palm over Josh's mouth and nose. Even from this distance, I could see the whites of Josh's eyes as they widened with surprise. Mantra was suffocating him!
"Josh!" I cried out again and turned to look frantically at Jacob. He was sitting back in his chair, watching me, unmoved by Josh's predicament below. I turned back to the fight in time to see Josh bring his knee into Mantra's back again and this time power up with his arms as Mantra steadied himself with his free arm. It wasn't much of a movement, but it allowed Josh to free one hand, shooting it up passed his head.
Mantra immediately grabbed at it, forgetting the suffocation for a moment to pin Josh's arm above his head. Mantra leaned forward, keeping Josh's arm stretched out tight, giving it no power to push back, but his other arm freed itself from under Mantra's leg and grabbed at Mantra's elbow.
Mantra twisted his arm and suddenly had hold of Josh's other arm, forcing that down over his head too. Josh was pinned again. Before he could kick up, Mantra spun off him, landing back on top in a sitting position facing the opposite direction. Suddenly Josh's arms were locked above him, pressing into the side of his head as Mantra sat over his face. Josh's torso was exposed to Mantra's fists now as he pummelled Josh's gut with a series of blows that winded him.
Mantra placed the flat of his hand on Josh's chest and landed a sharp blow into one of his pecs. Josh convulsed and Mantra repeated the blow before swapping hands to torture Josh's other pec.
The crowd was lapping it up but cheered even louder when Josh suddenly kicked up, wrapping his legs around Mantra's head and pulling him over. Mantra somersaulted off and Josh quickly adjusted his leg lock back around Mantra's head. Mantra scrabbled for freedom but Josh reached over, grabbing both of Mantra's hands and hauling them back.
He squeezed his legs tight and pulled on Mantra's arms, stretching the muscled man to the limits. Mantra's arms bulged as he pulled against the stretch, ripping both arms free from Josh's sweaty grip and almost hauling Josh over with the effort to hold on.
Still caught in the leg log, Mantra clasped Josh's thighs and rocked sideways until he flipped both of them over. Suddenly Mantra was up on his knees and rising. Josh had no other choice but release the leg lock as his feet were lifted higher into the air. Mantra wasn't so quick to release his hold though, tightening his grip around Josh's ankles and lifting them high above his head.
Hanging upside down, Josh was once more on the receiving end of The Mantra.

Eating at McDonald's has its perks: from its delicious dollar menu to its all day breakfast, they've always been on the cutting edge of fast food. However, McDonald's fries remain a staple for the fast food chain. Prefectly crisp and salted, the fries are nothing short of delicious. At some McDonald's locations, you can top your fries with guacamole, truffle oil or chocolate sauce, but McDonald's latest move is a game-changer: all you can eat french fries.
At a new location opening in St. Joseph, MO, you'll be able to get just that. In addition to the plethora of fries, the chain will bring customizable desserts to its newest location.
While it seems like a test case scenario, if the all you can eat fries do well at the new location, our dreams of having unlimited fries might become a reality.
