Michael Strahan's future on Good Morning America is being described as "uncertain" amid reports Strahan has allegedly been causing drama with his fellow anchors and his full-time GMA role hasn't been impressing viewers.
Amid the reports of a nasty feud between Michael and his co-anchors on Good Morning America which surfaced this week, sources are claiming producers of the show are reportedly unsure what to do with Strahan on the show amid claims he hasn't been a hit with viewers since joining the morning show full-time.
"It is impossible to miss the hundreds of comments on social media from viewers who say that he is not a match for the morning program," Celebrity Insider claimed of how Michael's role on GMA hasn't exactly been a hit with viewers in recent months, adding that "many GMA watchers were quick to point to the lack of chemistry between" Strahan and his fellow anchors.
Notably, a number of Good Morning America fans have expressed some displeasure over Strahan's full-time gig on GMA since he sensationally quit Live With Kelly And Michael last year, with some claiming on Twitter that he's "taken over" the morning show since landing the gig in 2016.
"Is it me or has Michael taken over all segments of GMA except weather?" Twitter user @DianeChavez771 tweeted out of Michael this week, claiming that they believed there was "WAY TO MUCH MICHAEL" on Good Morning America since he joined the ABC show full-time last year.
"Michael seems like a diva," another GMA watcher recently tweeted out of Strahan amid the latest reports.
Fans comments on Strahan came amid claims made by Celebrity Insider which stated that ABC supposedly "has no idea what to do with him" on Good Morning America while alleging that producers "are aware of the fact that he is uncomfortable on GMA" and think he is "better suited" to his former role on Live With Kelly and Michael.
However, it sounds like Michael Strahan is here to stay amid the latest drama reports as the outlet noted that Strahan "has a solid contract and they cannot let him go."
"They cannot ask him to go back [to Live With Kelly]," added the outlet, suggesting the former football star won't be leaving anytime soon.
But while some fans agreed with Celebrity Insider's report, others were quick to defend Michael amid the latest round of allegations.
"Just do you and leave Strahan alone!!! #HatersBackOff" GMA watcher @FmokFran wrote, while @lbebe hit back in reply to Good Morning America on Twitter, "Michael Strahan is the reason I started watching & glad I did, I discovered the rest of the cast also. I was fed up with @TODAYshow."
Strahan's latest drama comes amid reports Michael is supposedly also caught in a nasty feud with some of his Good Morning America co-stars, namely Lara Spencer, though ABC has denied the claims.
Michael's supposed feud with his co-stars was first reported by Page Six earlier this week as the site claimed that there is supposedly "not a lot of love" between Strahan and Spencer. Lara allegedly thinks Michael has been getting a lot of the segments she feels she should have hosted since he joined the anchor team full-time last year.
"They know how to put it on for the cameras," a source said of the reported feud, "but he's doing a lot of what Lara should be doing [on the show] and she's not happy."
The outlet also claimed that Michael has allegedly been upsetting some of his other Good Morning America co-anchors, as the site reported that Strahan is supposedly given special treatment by those behind-the-scenes.
"[Michael's] been given a lot of opportunity [and] flexibility when the others who have been working there longer don't get that kind of treatment," a source claimed earlier this week, adding that in comparison well-known anchors who have been regulars on GMA since before Strahan joined the cast full-time are "treated like dirt."
What do you think of the latest rumors claiming Michael Strahan supposedly hasn't been impressing his Good Morning America co-hosts or GMA viewers in recent weeks?

What Did You Do This Weekend?
Andy talks about his received gifts and some TV gems.
Friday night should have been all about the big Paris Hilton-is-going-to-jail-breaking-news. But at this point, does anybody care one way or another what happens to her? I loved Kathy Hilton accusing the judge of being a publicity whore. Rich. And zzzzz.
Saturday in NYC felt like walking around in a poppy field. I was in a total allergy haze all day. I sleepwalked my way through some galleries with Bruce and almost fell asleep on a lounge at Scoop waiting for him to purchase thongs.
Saturday night we had the time of our lives at the original 2nd Avenue Palm, which is fast becoming a Saturday Night classic venue. Midway through the meal, Liza announced that it was "Liza's Favorite Things" Night at the Palm! And that we were the lucky audience members who would all be gifted! We freaked out. Suddenly "YOU get a car! YOU get a car! EVERY BODY GETS A CAR!!!" rang through my head. I thought I was going to throw a chair. So Liza pulls out a big bag and out come the gifts! Turns out that Oprah Liza brought us each her current favorite thing (Pink Jasmine Body Creme from Fresh)! And I got some creme! And BRUCE got some creme! And TROY got some creme! And LYNN got some creme! And AMANDA got some creme! And EVERY BODY GOT SOME CREME! And YOU get the idea! And I soon got the idea to have "favorite things" dinners where everybody brings their current fave thing to dinner for everybody they're eating with. So if you're eating with 5 other people, then everybody brings 5 identical gifts and gets 5 gifts. (I think I'd bring lilac dark chocolate for everybody.) Nobody liked my idea though, and thought we should do it where it's one person's favorite thing night and so you leave with that person's gift. And then you have five more meals and get five more gifts, providing you can find five nights to schedule five meals sometime before you die. I guess that's how we are going to do it.
Yesterday I saw "Spider Man 8" and it was not only the highest opening film in history, it's the biggest piece of crap in history too! It sucks! It's 5 movies in one ... it makes no sense ... is boring ... spidey looks pudgy ... Kirsten Dunst is blah ... it has 4 endings ... and I freaking hated it. Stop the madness. It really stunk.
Last night was the big finale of "Amazing Race" and it was almost as blah as Spidey. Poor Charla and Mirna came in 3rd. The guy and the girl won. I forgot their names and everything else about them. I am so glad it was only an hour. I tried watching "Celebrity Fit Club" to see Maureen McCormack but I am not getting enough of her; all the screentime is going to Dustin Diamond. Then I switched to the SNL documentary. I loved seeing Marci Klein blabbing about the behind the scenes scoop. By the way, Molly Shannon is hosting a new episode this week and I can't wait. I wound up cracking open my dvr and watching an old "American Masters" about Aretha Franklin.Wow. I cannot overstate how much "Spider Man 8" sucked. I am trying to focus on Aretha and get the noise out of my head.

In any conversation these days, I'm invariably asked whether customer loyalty is still a thing.
There's certainly been a lot of pointers to its death. Byron Sharp has famously argued that brand loyalty as an emotional commitment doesn't exist, and that marketers should shift their resources to reach new or occasional buyers. Traditional consumer brands have been losing market share in nearly every category. And studies have shown that while consumers are signed up on average to 29 loyalty programs, they're only active in 12.
Yet examples of loyalty also abound. Brand Keys have repeatedly demonstrated that loyalty + emotional engagement are leading indicators of consumer behavior towards a brand. A recent Facebook report found that loyalty is alive and well even among Millennials. And several brands have credited much of their growth over the last few years to the success of their loyalty programs.
Confused? There are a number of realities I learnt about customer loyalty from my experience with Tesco, Clubcard and Dunnhumby which help make sense of this:
1) Loyalty is driven through customer experience, not through advertising.
Much of the argument for the demise of loyalty treats the brand as something completely separate from the product or the experience, as an image created through marketing. But working in retail, I quickly learnt that the shopping experience defined the brand, not the advertising. And if a positive experience was repeatedly delivered over time, then customers developed an attachment.
In today's connected world, this is the reality for every brand. The traditional consumer brands built through mass advertising are not losing share to the next mass brand, but to a plethora of niche brands that have much more clearly defined experiences.
2) Both functional loyalty and emotional loyalty exist.
This was very clear among loyal Tesco shoppers: one group found the brand useful, regularly shopped there, but felt no emotional attachment, while a second group also found it useful, but in addition felt an attachment to the brand. The Facebook report reveals something similar, with people who regularly purchase a brand split fairly evenly between "Brand Loyalists" who feel an emotional connection to the brand and "Repeat Purchasers" who don't.
"Repeat Purchasers" are much more likely to switch if a better offer comes along. When a competitor store opened nearby, Tesco would lose some customers because the competitor was now a more convenient choice. But emotionally loyal customers generally stayed.
Today, with so many more choices in virtually every category, the amount of brand switching by functionally loyal customers is inevitably on the rise. But as Brand Keys show, loyalty + emotional engagement are still leading indicators of behavior towards a brand.
3) Loyal customers stay longer and spend more over time.
This has been challenged, but Clubcard certainly demonstrated that loyal customers stayed longer and spent more with Tesco over time. Perhaps the most dramatic example was the successful launch of Tesco Financial Services, where nearly all the initial customers turned out to be loyal Tesco customers.
However, brands can't just depend on this for growth. There is always some leakage of loyal customers every year, whether due to changing life circumstances or new competitive choices. They need to be continually reaching out to find and inspire new loyal customers. But crucially, brands should do this while also looking after the existing ones. It really isn't an either/or.
4) Loyalty programs can change behavior.
Byron argued that loyalty programs had practically no effect on growth. Yet Starbucks has credited much of their growth over the last few years to the success of their loyalty program, and Dominos and Panera have recently reported similar effects.
All these brands demonstrate what Tesco and Dunnhumby originally learnt. Loyalty programs become effective when they are part of wider program to make the customer experience better or easier, rather than simply deployed as a marketing mechanic. Tesco used the data from Clubcard both to personalize coupons and communication for each customer, and to improve the overall shopping experience. While Starbucks Rewards is tightly integrated with mobile payment and ordering.
Loyalty is certainly still a thing. But there's an fundamental reality underlying all this. In an age of unlimited choice and almost effortless sharing of experiences, customer loyalty is not something that can just be captured and put in a trophy cabinet. Rather, it has to be earned, each and every day...

The Meade LX200 is on a permanent pier in a backyard observatory, but it's alignment was off a bit over the long cold winter ... probably expansion/contraction of the pier, wedge, etc. So this morning, I got up at 2 a.m. and worked on alignment for a bit. Here, I did drift alignment on both axis and got the trendlines to flatline where they go. With any luck, I won't have to align again for another year. :) Read more about Pretty good polar alignmentLog in or register to post comments

J. Crew X Jesus Christ
J. Crew announced a new collab today between themselves and Jesus Chirst, known around the blogosphere as JC. Together they will be producing a tunic that will make you look good while being nailed to a cross or for sitting in a sweltering church over the summer. Recently risen, Jesus Christ released a few comments about the collab. "I think this will improve the image of both brands. Evangelists will flock from everywhere to pick up a tunic, which is great for J. Crew. Plus, consumerists will become more aware of the fact that I died for their sins, which is always a plus for me. Seriously, pants won't save your soul. I'd like to continue this relationship with J. Crew but we'll have to see how this tunic sells." J. Crew plans to do an exclusive online J. Crew X Jesus Christ look book. We were unable to contact Frank Muytjens (pronounced Muy-dooby-booby-gens) for comment on how successful he thought the collab would be but sources tell us that he was a doubting Thomas.
When Jesus was asked what trend he saw those three days he was dead, he responded, "Boot cut jeans, those are just bad. Peter wore those all the time. I can't believe I trusted my church with him." I concur.
Happy Easter. Enjoy the time with your family and your friends.

It's seven in the morning on the beach in Santa Monica, California. The low sun glints off the waves and the clouds are still golden from the dawn. A few metres back from the water's edge, a handful of people sit cross-legged: members of a local Buddhist centre about to begin an hour-long silent meditation. Such spiritual practices may seem a world away from biomedical research, with its focus on molecular processes and repeatable results. Yet just up the coast, at the University of California, a team led by a Nobel Prize-winning biochemist is charging into territory where few mainstream scientists would dare to tread. They are engaged in serious studies hinting that meditation might – as Eastern traditions have long claimed – slow ageing and lengthen life.
Elizabeth Blackburn's work began in 1970 when she discovered a repeating DNA motif that acts as a protective cap. The caps, dubbed telomeres, were subsequently found on human chromosomes too. They shield the ends of our chromosomes each time our cells divide and the DNA is copied, but they wear down with each division. In the 1980s, working with graduate student Carol Greider at the University of California, Blackburn discovered an enzyme called telomerase that can protect and rebuild telomeres. Even so, our telomeres dwindle over time. And when they get too short, our cells start to malfunction and lose their ability to divide – a phenomenon that is now recognized as a key process in ageing. This work ultimately won Blackburn the 2009 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
This discovery led Blackburn to collect blood samples from 58 women for a small pilot study. To give the highest chance of a meaningful result, the women in the two groups – stressed mothers and controls – had to match as closely as possible, with similar ages, lifestyles and backgrounds. The results were crystal clear. The more stressed the mothers said they were, the shorter their telomeres and the lower their levels of telomerase. These results were the first indication that feeling stressed doesn't just damage our health – it literally ages us.
Blackburn's study led to further research analyzing how high stress can accelerate the aging process. Lab studies show that the stress hormone cortisol reduces the activity of telomerase, while oxidative stress and inflammation – the physiological fallout of psychological stress – appear to erode telomeres directly. This research further strengthens the argument that stress (high cortisol and low telomerase activity) prematurely ageing our bodies.
So what does this mean for us? How can we reduce our levels of cortisol and increase telomerase activity so that we can look and feel younger for longer? Follow these steps:
- Relax and Meditate: Take time out of your day (even if it's only 5 minutes) to close your eyes and relax. Take deep breaths and reflect on what you are grateful for.
- Exercise: Studies have shown that low intensity exercise like walking or jogging can reduce cortisol. High intensity exercise may increase cortisol (only temporarily), but will decrease overall cortisol levels in the long-term.
- Get adjusted by your chiropractor: Studies going back as far as 1998 have shown that chiropractic adjustments reduce cortisol levels and better equip your body to manage stress.

To file for divorce in California, you or your spouse must have lived in California for at least the past six months and one of you must have lived in the county where you want to file for at least the past three months. If you meet these requirements, you can file your paperwork and be divorced after six months from the date your spouse is served with the paperwork. California law does not require you to prove your spouse was at fault for the divorce, instead it allows divorce based on "irreconcilable differences" between you and your spouse.
A California divorce begins when you file a Petition for Dissolution with a California court. This form gives the court basic information about your marriage and tells the court you meet the basic requirements for divorce. Then, you must serve your spouse with a copy of this petition to ensure he has a chance to respond. Your spouse doesn't lose his rights to defend his interests because he is incarcerated.
Service on Inmate
To serve your spouse while he is in the custody of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, send the documents to the litigation coordinator at the facility where your spouse is housed. You must include a proof of service form and self-addressed stamped envelope. The litigation coordinator logs in your documents and gives them to your spouse's correctional counselor who gives them to your spouse.
Proof of Service
You must be able to prove to the court that your spouse was served with the papers. When the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation returns the proof of service you included, you must file that proof with the court so the court knows your spouse is aware of the divorce case. Your spouse may or may not file further documents with the court, but the court can still issue decisions about the divorce once it knows your spouse has received the required notice.

Wallets are a big business since the explosion of the minimalist wallet fad on Kickstarter a few years ago, but the competition is fierce and there's little room for any product that's not changing the game. Dango Products was aware of this fact when they designed the Dango Tactical Wallet.
This highly functional wallet features all of the things we prefer in a quality wallet — a 6061 aerospace grade aluminum construction wrapped in genuine leather, RFID-blocking capabilities, and enough room for 12 cards and some cash — along with a removable carbon stainless steel multi-tool with over 14 different functions.
The result is a seamless integration of various everyday carry items into one single, very attractive kit. – Buy It

Huskies Insider Blog
Know your enemy: A first look at the Oregon Ducks. Who will be their starting QB?
The Ducks predictably beat Washington State on Saturday in Autzen. The score looks worse than it was. Oregon was out of sync a little early and quarterback Darron Thomas, who was starting after missing the Colorado game with a knee injury looked rusty, throwing some interceptions. Chip Kelly even pulled Thomas and inserted back-up Bryan Bennett, who sparked the offense in the second half. Running back LaMichael James also started after dislocating his elbow a few weeks ago.
Click to the jump for some video highlights of the game and plenty of links ....
Chip Kelly talked to the media after the game and said he knew would start at quarterback at Washington, but said, "I don't have to answer that question." On Sunday night, he did also had his conference call with local media and wouldn't name a starting quarterback.
But if healthy, Thomas figures to be at the helm against UW in Husky Stadium at 7:30 p.m. Saturday. And the Ducks won't plan to use Bennett, unlike the rotations they employ at every other position.
"We don't do that at quarterback," Kelly said. "We're going to have one quarterback."Eugene Register Guard columnist George Schroeder writes that this isn't a budding quarterback controversy, it's Darron Thomas' job.
Let's nip this now: There is no quarterback controversy at Oregon.
"One hundred percent, it's Darron Thomas," Oregon offensive coordinator Mark Helfrich said, and it's too bad he had to tell us.Let's get to the links ...
Also from the Register Guard ... Rob Moseley's blog post has links to all their stuff from Saturday's game.
From the Oregonian ... Lindsay Schnell has a blog post with links to all of the coverage from the paper's plethora of writers. Columnist John Canzano writes that after watching last night's game, Stanford is vulnerable and the Ducks can beat them.
It's this: Stanford is not better than Oregon.
No way.
Not even playing at home, as they will on Nov. 12. Not even with Andrew Luck good enough to start an NFL game at quarterback today. Not with a defense that couldn't stop USC in so many ways until the Trojans fumbled the game away. Sure, if Oregon turns the ball over four times against Stanford, the Ducks lose. But if not, this doesn't feel like the "Super Bowl" matchup we've been promised.But I love the video of Chip Kelly talking about the quarterbacks with the media.

This is something you should absolutely do, as a general exercise in understanding yourself as a storyteller.
But not necessarily in the middle of trying to actually tell or write any particular story — unless you're stuck, and you're looking at similar stories specifically to try to find structural and conceptual ideas to get your own story moving again, which is a different use of story analysis than is suggested in the advice. Both are equally valid.
In terms of understanding yourself as a storyteller and playing to your own strengths, this exercise will reveal that the things you like in the stories are a disparate collection of ideas: tonal elements, plot types, specific plot devices, character tropes, pacing, and so on.
You need to understand all of those elements, so allow yourself to consider them all. Write down each thing you like as soon as you think of it (you can organize them into types later), to capture your most honest, unfiltered perspective.
You'll discover that what you like won't necessarily be the same from story-to-story. You may like one story because of its pastoral setting and slow pace, and another because it's dark and action-packed.
Each story will "speak to you" in a different way. Studying and understanding the when, how, and why of each element you like, in context, will help you learn to deploy the different elements in your own stories.
You're not trying to rip-off other storytellers, you're trying to understand what you like about your favorite stories and synthesizing that into your own personal palette of storytelling tools.
The analysis will help you determine which of the things you like, and therefore want to include in your own stories, come naturally to you, and which you will have to work at. It'll help you understand what you need to do to write what you want to write, how you want to write it.
But there is also a deeper digging that you should be doing when performing this analysis: figuring out the core thematic elements that drew you to the story in the first place.
Doing this for several stories will enable you to discover what my friend Barri Evins calls your "Personal Thematic", a central concept that you will naturally gravitate towards in your own storytelling because it's what you already gravitate towards as a story consumer.
Here are some example core thematics and a filmmaker who shares that thematic:
- Love Conquers All - Nora Ephron
- The Little Guy Can Stand Up To The Powerful and Corrupt
- Frank Capra
- The Powerful and Corrupt Always Crush The Little Guy
- Alan Pakula
- Things Are Never What They Seem - M. Night Shyamalan
- Only The Strong Survive - John Carpenter
- Be True To Yourself No Matter What Society Thinks - Tim Burton
- Life's A Bitch And Then You Die - Alex Cox
Not every single one of those filmmakers' films is necessarily an embodiment of exactly and exclusively that thematic, but elements in all their films draw upon that core idea.
It's inevitable, because personal thematic equals worldview, an interpretation of what it means to live which comes from individual personality and style. And while one's worldview gets refined and expanded over time, it rarely completely changes, which means it always shows up somewhere.
Embracing your own personal thematic doesn't mean being formulaic or redundant: there are vast numbers of ways to embody any given idea into a specific story. Rather, it means knowing yourself so you can use your own personality and style to your advantage — to give yourself a voice.
Of course, your personal thematic does become a refuge when you're lost in or stuck on a story, and can lead to redundancies. But if you make yourself conscious of your thematic, you can also police yourself against this more effectively, because you know what to look for.
Studying what you like as a story consumer will help you better understand yourself as a storyteller, and that knowledge will allow you to become a better storyteller by focusing on your strengths and strengthening your weaknesses.

text: We won't blame you if you for wanting to shower immediately upon leaving Bowl Bar Packaging and Liquor. This Little Havana dive bar prides itself on its seedy feels (it boasts disposable plastic and Styrofoam cups because who needs glasses?), and despite there being little light inside, you can be pretty sure that unsavory business might go down after hours. But all this aside, Bowl Bar does have what you need for a fun, if questionably debaucherous, night out with your crew: cheap drinks, a booming jukebox, and wall-to-wall mirrors that let you watch it all go down.

By Aaron Humes: Belize's National Garifuna Council (NGC) demands that the Government of Honduras stop the massacre of Garifuna in Honduras and to stop the militarization that they are imposing on Garifuna communities.
This follows a December 28 attack in the village of Iriona along the coast in which two men were killed and others injured.
The military responded with violence, the NGC says, as part of what it calls a concerted plan to attack and dispossess Garifuna people under the guise of the "War on Drugs," even as drug lords are doing the same.
The Council states that much the same is being threatened to Garinagu in Belize, Guatemala and Nicaragua, which it says are united by the Caribbean coastline that runs through all the countries. Their conclusion is "touch one, touch all."

Although I did not choose to keep anything, this box was pretty good as far a variety and fitting my personal style! I cannot see myself ever paying more than $300 for a handbag, however.The shoes were all too big or too small, unfortunately- I am a size 5.5. I really liked the pumps though. In future boxes, I think I'd like to add jeans in petite sizes to my request of only handbags and shoes. Also, I don't really like backpack- style handbags. Thank you!

Exceptional box!!! The Alexis top and the red Tanya Taylor top were too big and billowy but were 100% my style! Wish they'd fit better! Maje shorts were tiny but soooo cool. White dress was stunning but the high-low affect was too dramatic and didn't look expensive enough for my taste. Thank you for a beautiful box!!!

Getting better for sure! I wear a ton of black and neutrals so you were good there. I like things with studs and interesting shapes like an exaggerated collar or cut out elbows or sharp shoulders. Think punk rock.... it's definitely getting better though so thank you! I know how hard it is to shop for an androgynous person- that's why I've hired you to help ha ha... thanks for your time and effort!

Getting closer! Nothing I was crazy about but definitely more my vibe than any previous box. Loved the Prada boots but they were a little too small - I'm an 8 regularly but Italian size runs small so probably more like 9, 10 in the future. The jeans were great but I don't need jeans right now. The Iro skirt was cute but a little too big. I definitely would like more Iro fun pieces like that though if you have. J Brand leather pants were not me but I do like J Brand regularly and I the last top I really liked except the material was too cheap. But it's definitely getting better! Excited for the next box. More designer stuff and Iro I think would be GREAT

Love the box! I wanted to keep the jumper but there is a button missing. If it can be repaired and resent in next months box, I'll prob keep it. I was a little too busty for the Theory shirt. I looooove the Parker dress, please send more, it's just not seasonal rn in Texas, it stop hot for black and long sleeves this time of year. Orange top, SO CUTE.

Liked everything. Dress was too small/short. I think it was just because it was the brand and leather. Loved the Tory top and wanted to keep- but it hurt my neck- bummer. I lovvvved the Frame leather leggings and normally wear that size, but they were huge. I think it was all brand sizing and not the stylist issue.

Absolutely loved the Current Elliot leggings and was gutted when they did not fit. They are too big. A size 2 might have worked. I have seen a similar pattern for Akris also. The Marni blouse - the color was perfect but the bow detail made me look like I had two bats on my breasts. It looked odd. The Sezanne bag was beautiful however the proportion was off. Its funny that you can't tell something until you try it. I am glad that I contacted you to get my items quickly due to my pending surgery tomorrow. Fingers crossed. I am sending you back the items that don't fit. But the ones that do. Oh my goodness, the Eileen Fisher duster cardigan is absolutely gorgeous. But the Trina Turk tank is just exquisite. Very out of my comfort zone, but it looks awesome on. Thanks a million Victoria.

Loved the pieces, wished the dress had fit. Also, the red blouse is full of stains...it appears to be from putting on lotion and then pulling the blouse on. Hoping to be able to get it cleaned as I love this piece. OBSESSED with the jeans...wish I could locate them in other washes. The Vince sweater is SO cute, can see layering it in many different ways.

A few of the items were kind of iffy - the Diane dress was definitely not my style, and the other dress just didn't fit right. The sequin top was very cute but not a good shape for me. The skirt was gorgeous but didn't sit quite right on my hips. I ended up keeping the most basic item even though it totally wasn't what I was looking for, it's super cute and an easy thing to style and take anywhere.

A lot of things I wanted to like but didn't quite work. The Helmut lang top fit very oddly, the seam twisted around my arms and the sleeves were very tight. The pink top is unfortunately pretty much the color of my skin. The black cardigan was interesting but ultimately not practical with the rips in the back that I was afraid would catch on everything/let in the breeze. The Joie striped top was nice and I almost kept it but decided I would get just one sleeveless silk top and went with the purple one instead. Thanks for your help!

Everything was so cute and designers I love (except slingbacks which I hate). But too small. I didn't fit any of them. So let's switch the profile size from 8-10 to 10-12. And Theory's sizing is so insane, it would be great if you take different designers into account when choosing sizes. But the style was fantastic, I'm actually really sad that I can't keep any of it.

Jamie and Sean's wedding day at Early Mountain Vineyards will always stand out as a highlight of my wedding photography.
No details were spared for their guests to have an incredible time. Between the cigar bar... welcome beverage station... wedding programs... transportation for guests... armadillo groom's cake (for any fellow Steel Magnolias Fans)... a rockin band from Pittsburg... a dessert table for days... and the late night taco station... guests couldn't have been more pampered!!
But, what stood out above all else was the obvious love and admiration that Jamie and Sean have for one another... the tears that were mutually shed during their first look and during their vows. What made this wedding extra special for me to photograph is that Sean is the brother of my very close friend, Jessica.
These two are such a fun, loving, and cool couple (who own and operate Buckhead Saloon in Pittsburgh!). They traveled to Virginia to exchange vows as Sean was born and raised in Culpepper.
Take a peek at this incredible wedding and the fabulous vendors involved:

I moved out to the country and they do not provide trash-pick up as a part of the water bill. It costs $25 a month for that service. So I wanted to come up with more ways to reduce and reuse. I normally do anyway but now it is even more important. I can burn trash but the weather hasn't been all that great.
I also make paper beads from other papers I accumulate! I love it.
Source: I came up with these ideas while trying to keep from paying for trash pick-up service! It's working!

Ask a QuestionHere are the questions asked by community members. Read on to see the answers provided by the ThriftyFun community or ask a new question.
Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do with these objects? I've saved gobs of them. A description of the objects are as follows:
What do the keys sound like when they are clinked together? Could you use them as components in a wind chime?
The white styrofoam piece could hang down to "catch the wind" or be used as the top ring to hang the other items from.
Make a big checkerboard on any solid color fabric, painting in the alternating color with fabric paint or Sharpie colored pens so it'll be permanent. You could mark the squares, guided by a ruler, then let the kids paint them in so they get some quiet crafting time. You could let the kids mark or paint on the colors, or even have them glue the white styrofoam circle onto them for the other color, and you have a big set of checkers!
The first thing I saw was an angel. Glue the key to the back of the smaller plug like piece as a halo. With a permanent marker, draw eyes and mouth the opposite side of the plug (might have to sand and brush off surface if it is slick or the markers won't take). Gather the white ring in the middle to make the wings. Glue to back of the small plug allowing to hang down below the bottom edge. Attach plug with halo on the top edge center of the blue ring.
Depending on the ages of the kids, one of the most fun, entertaining and interesting things you could do, would be to simply lay out the pieces, and let the kids decide what to make with them! Kids are so creative, you'll have a blast watching what they can come up with!
You could even make a contest out of it. Precede as above, but tell the kids that it is a "Hot Summer Invention Contest" and give prizes. You can create several categories (maybe, coincidently equal to the number of kids there are?!?) such as "Most Useful Invention", "Most Creative Invention", "Prettiest Invention", "Silliest Invention", etc.
Just have fun with the kids, that's the most important thing!
Hi, wow great idea to make a game. Perhaps it could be something your Grandchildren and you do together. The pieces that you've shown could be board game pieces and you could play it outside with chalk squares so that each time they play it could be "new". Enjoy.

Education is the key to PPW!
We have several events yearly that offer incredible speakers on various topics to help the professional photographer.
The Spring Educational Conference is around April and provides the association's members an event to come together to enjoy old and new friends. Before this event our Annual Print Competition takes place. Hired judges are brought in to judge and critique our images with the 12 Elements of Merited Print as a guide.
We hold another event around October to give a stimulating break from the photographer's busy season of High School seniors and families, for example.
During the year, each PPW District holds meetings four times a year in the their area. To learn about these events besides here on our website, The Washington Photographer Journal comes out four times a year. Within the pages of the journal, you will also learn about the workings of PPW and informational articles about our industry.
Involvement improves your business. Here are a few ways to do this:

Pool Love? Books to read with a Gin and Tonic in hand./
Chances are if you are in on the eastern seaboard right now you are HOT. Damn hot. The summer heatwaves (and sadly, bushfires) have started early this year.
I wish I had a pool! I'm obsessed with pools. Obsessed. It started with a love of swimming, but as I got older I cannot go visit ANY garden without thinking: where would I put my pool?
One day, I'm gonna have the most amazing horizon lap-pool ever (when I live somewhere with no deciduous trees, not long winter and more water!). Ok, so maybe that's a never.
But in the meantime, I can dream. I will be sitting under a fan somewhere drinking a Gin and Tonic dreaming of these places. You can too.

I first found The Funky Junk Shop on Instagram. I found her via a friend & became addicted to waiting for pics of her next furniture makeover. I even went to a pop-up sale on her driveway & came home with a few goodies. Lucky for us, she opened an Etsy shop just in time to close out our series! So today I'm excited to share a local goodie that is expanding her reach around the globe.
I love the tassel necklaces and this green/yellow combo is my favorite. They come as a 2 necklace set. The second necklace in each set comes with a phrase or monogram. There are a few different phrases listed in the shop, but I've seen some others in her local store - I picked up one a few weeks back that says 'Be Still & Know'.
Since the necklaces are separate and the tassels can be moved around, there are so many possible ways to wear this - it would be a great complement to most any outfit.
Check out all the color choices you can choose from - these combinations make me happy!
I grabbed a few of her prints before I headed off to the Allume conference earlier this month to give to my friends & roommates as a sweet thank you for sharing the weekend with me.
It's important to me to make sure that you know that 100% (yes, ONE HUNDRED) of the proceeds from her Etsy shop sales go to support The Creative Cause fundraiser, which helps build sports courts & provide sports equipment for an orphanage in India. Her products are great, but so is her heart! I've seen shops that give some portions of proceeds to a cause, but this blows them all away.
Keep your eye out for other products to make their way into the shop - I adore her wood signs as well. You can follow her on Instagram @funkyjunkshop to see new releases and her beautiful work.
Now, local folks - if you haven't been to the White Brick House in Forest, VA. Run. Quick. There are a number of vendors that set up in this historic home, including The Funky Junk Shop.
These Anthropologiesque knobs were brought from India & are a super easy way to update any piece of furniture in a pinch.
Here's a little peek into her room in the shop as a tease. So run down to the shop as soon as you can and see for yourself the full expanse of goodies in her shop! I mean if that rug doesn't draw you I don't know what will.
I hope you check out the Etsy site for The Funky Junk Shop - she's adding new things to the shop weekly! Ok folks - only 2 shops to go ..... so happy you've stuck with me through the series!

Moon in Aquarius trine Mercury in Gemini (6 deg)
Moon in Aquarius square Venus in Taurus (11 deg)
Open and detached communication can unfold smoothly with the Moon/Mercury trine. Step back from the choices and you'll discover some new and interesting angles. Perhaps there are more choices than you realized. Excellent for communicating unconventional ideas or connecting with odd, inspirational people.
However, Moon/Venus suggests some discord between this detachment versus solid, predictable manifestations of what you want. The tension between materialism/possessiveness versus freedom can trigger insecurities and corresponding intensified desires.
So the head is on track, but the heart will experience some bumps. When in doubt, talk it out. If someone tells you they need more space, try not to react by tightening your grip. Take a deep breath and view the available options with clear eyes.

The One Thing that unites us
This October marked three years of candid conversations on my blog.
When I first started this website, I'll admit, I was nervous.
Talking about spirituality, personal growth and all things in between can make us very uncomfortable. So you can imagine my hesitation as I pressed 'publish' on my first ever blogpost.
Since then, one recurring truth has come to the surface: our search for real meaning in life is what unites us. And it is infinitely more important than the things that we are told divide us.
Since 2015, people of all faiths and no faith alike have found value, peace and clarity in this space. And I will continue to commit my time and energy into stimulating conversations that propel us closer to the answers we are looking for.
This really is just the beginning, so thank you for being early-adopters on an unforgettable journey. And now, for the main event…
The first of many, the 'Take What You Need' Book Launch
This three-year anniversary was doubly significant as I announced the release of my first book, Take What You Need (TWYN). As you probably know by now, TWYN is a collection of inspiring and challenging life-lessons, focusing on some of the things that matter to us most. This includes the integrity of our minds, self-care, relationships, purpose, the process of life and building resilience.
It's been amazing to see how many of you rallied together in support for the book, culminating in the London launch on November 10th. This couldn't have taken place without you.
I'm very excited to share some memories from the launch with you in this video. If you haven't yet got the book you can download a free sample below.
P.S. — for more candids from the launch, watch this!
Thank you to Simple Soulful Film who captured the atmosphere perfectly.

A Disney Cruise!
Navy Bishop
Baller since 2018
At the age of 2 1/2, Navy was diagnosed with stage 4 High Risk Neuroblastoma and has been in and out of active disease treatment for 3 1/2 years. Originally a tumor was found behind her left eye when Navy's family noticed it was deviating outwards, and since found tumors throughout her entire body. She has completed dozens of weeks of chemotherapy and immunotherapy, surgery, radiation, etc. She has completed various parts of treatment all over the west coast-- Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Salt Lake City and San Francisco.
In July of '18, a good result came back showing that the active cells are gone from her biopsy! Currently, Navy is doing hospital immunotherapy rounds every 5 weeks in Las Vegas, close to home! Navy has been through a lot, but has been an inspiration to many throughout this whole process. She has such energy and light about her!
Navy loves to play with friends and family, swim, dance, and be outdoors. She loves crafts, cooking, playing with dolls and visiting the beach in between oncology appointments when she travels to LA. She has recently started 1st grade, and loves going as often as she can. Her little sister, Riley, and her are wonderful friends as they play with each other and help care for each other.
Navy's family looks forward to a day when cancer will not be on her mind, but until then, she has continued to show all a resilient spirit and love for life!

When migraines attack, most people will immediately take migraine medication to relieve it. Yes indeed, drugs can relieve quickly, but when it is difficult for you to buy drugs due to migraines that make it difficult for you to move, you can contact online pharmacies such as "canadian pharmacy", so that you can quickly get medication and relieve your migraine.
One of the most important things to know is that migraine headaches have a causative factor. By avoiding the causal factors, then one step in prevention and alleviating the symptoms we have got and this will prevent further migraine attacks.
The main causes of a migraine are unknown but there are several factors that cause this headache, namely activity or routine work, stress, lack of sleep, emotional stress, irregular eating patterns, breathing smoke such as cigarette smoke or vehicle fumes and stinging light from computer radiation and light beam.
How to deal with migraines include:
- Consuming Banana
The banana fruit has a rich content of potassium and magnesium. This content can help to relieve migraines.
- Drinking Water
As is known, one of the causes of headaches is dehydration. So if you have a headache, drink water. Get used …

Saffron Semolina Dumplings with Herb Pistou
Photo by Michael Piazza / Styled by Catrine Kelty
Herb pistou is French-style pesto traditionally made with blanched fines herbs (parsley, chives, chervil and tarragon). It does not use basil, pine nuts or cheese as in the Italian version. I like to use this sauce as a way to show off a mixture of herbs at their peak. Use what you're growing and/or found at the market that looks really fresh and vibrant as the sauce should be bright green and full of herbal deliciousness. This mix I suggest here (parsley, tarragon, lovage and mint) is one of my go-tos, primarily because I like the way these particular herbs work together. The sauce is paired with simple semolina dumplings, easy to make by hand with no special equipment. Herb pistou with dumplings is a perfect first course or side dish—but the sauce on its own is a wonderful dressing for any short dried pasta or roasted vegetables.
Serves 6–8
Semolina Dumplings:
¾ cup boiling water
1 teaspoon saffron threads (optional)
2½ cups semolina flour
2 eggs
1½ teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
In a small bowl steep the saffron threads in the boiling water until cool. Strain to remove the threads. Beat the eggs with the olive oil, saffron water and salt. Combine with the semolina flour in a large mixing bowl. Work with your hands until a dough forms and knead really well for 10 minutes. Wrap in plastic wrap and allow to rest for at least 1 hour.
To form the dumplings, divide the dough into fourths and wrap 3 of them in plastic wrap. With your palms, work the dough into a sausage shape then lay it on the table long side toward you. Roll the dough into a long snake-like shape with your hands: Begin in the middle with your thumbs, applying just enough pressure to roll the dough back and forth while stretching the dough by moving your hands away from each other. This may take a little practice to find the right amount of pressure, but it isn't difficult. When the snake of dough is the width of a chickpea, use a knife to cut it into dumplings. Roll each cut dumpling into a chickpea-sized ball and toss onto a sheet dusted with semolina flour. Repeat with all the dough. Store in the fridge covered with plastic wrap for up to 4 days.
Herb Pistou:
1 cup parsley (stems included)
¾ cup tarragon (stems included)
½ cup lovage (stems included)
¼ cup mint (no stems, just picked leaves)
¼ cup olive oil
lemon juice, for serving
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 2 big handfuls of salt—it should be really salty, like seawater. Set up a bowl of ice water. Plunge the herbs into the boiling water for about 30 seconds to wilt. Quickly scoop the herbs out with a strainer and place in the ice bath. Remove to paper-towel-lined plate to drain.
Place the herbs and a teaspoon of salt in a food processor and process until they begin to break down. With the motor running, drizzle olive oil into the mixture just until it begins to form a thick spread, like pesto. Taste for seasoning and add more salt if needed. Store in a metal or glass container set in a bowl of ice or covered in the fridge until needed. This will last a few days, but it is best eaten the day it's made.
To finish the dish, bring a pot of water to a boil and season with salt. Have a saucepan, 1 tablespoon butter and about 8 tablespoons of the pistou ready. Boil the pasta for 3 or 4 minutes (longer if they've been stored a few days), then drain—reserve half a cup of the cooking liquid. Place the pasta, the cooking liquid and the butter in the saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the sauce until it thickens slightly and looks glossy, then turn off the heat and add pistou. Toss to combine, add salt if needed and a splash of lemon juice, and serve.
This recipe appeared in the Spring 2018 issue as part of a larger story on Spring Herbs.

Cacık: A Refreshing Summer Staple
Cacık, the first dish I'm going to share with you, is a summer favorite. It's incredibly easy to make, customizable, and a Turkish staple. Most of you will know its much more popular Greek counterpart – tzatziki. The dish originated in the Ottoman Empire, and so it spread around the region and evolved. Tzatziki and cacık are made with the same ingredients, but tzatziki is more of a sauce whereas cacık is a cold soup. In the summer, we like to serve cacık with most meals, in lieu of a salad. It goes well with just about anything – grilled meats, vegetables in any guise, börek, potato salads (not the American kind with mayonnaise, mind you! Cold, sliced potatoes with olive oil and cayenne pepper!), the list is endless.
The version I'm sharing with you today is the one I've modified over the years to fit the tastes of my family. Cacık will often have dill in it, but Olivia hates dill, so I leave it out. You can add dill if you like it, to taste. You can also play with proportions, depending on how much you want to make. Cacık lasts 2-3 days and, indeed, tastes better on the second day (as with any food made with olive oil!), but you don't want to end up with too much, especially if you are making it for one. I've suggested making it with one cucumber and one pot of yogurt, but you can easily halve that.
To make about six servings (though the size of the serving depends on how much you want to eat!), you'll need:
1 cucumber 1 pot of yogurt (generally 500-700g) 1 clove garlic (can be substituted for garlic powder, but of course, fresh is better!) salt to taste cayenne pepper to taste black pepper to taste olive oil
Begin by peeling the cucumber and discarding the peels. Then, shred the cucumber and place in a large bowl. Drizzle olive oil over the cucumber and add pressed garlic, salt, and peppers, to taste. We like our cacık to have more than just a kick of spice, but not everyone has the same spice tolerance! (Though – you can make someone learn to like spice. Olivia's Swiss boyfriend found my food to be spicy when he first met us, but he can keep up with us now.) Mix everything together.
Add yogurt to same bowl, and mix again.
Drizzle olive oil over the mixture and sprinkle some more cayenne pepper for display. Ideally let it rest in the refrigerator for at least an hour before your meal. It will be fine if you don't have the time to let it rest, but the more time it has for all the flavors to soak together, the better it will taste!

Local and Seasonal: Eggplant and Lentil Salad | KCET
Local and Seasonal: Eggplant and Lentil Salad
For a long while, I thought that I didn't even like eggplant. I changed my mind when I tasted eggplant pizza at Casa Bianca Pizza Pie, the legendary Eagle Rock establishment. There, atop melted cheese and sweet tomato sauce, were thin, crisp slices of breaded eggplant. From that first bite, I was hooked. It was a revelation to me that eggplant could have a crunchy exterior and velvety interior.
In the past I've ended up with slimy eggplant, mushy eggplant, and eggplant cooked to an unpalatable grey color. One time, I cooked a single eggplant in a hot skillet, adding spoonfuls of olive oil every few minutes as the pan dried up until I had added nearly an entire bottle of oil. Eggplant really is as absorptive as a sponge! However, if you sprinkle raw eggplant slices with salt, which draws out moisture, they will absorb much less oil. I've sampled a remarkable range of colors and sizes: midnight blue, dinner plate-sized Globe eggplants, slender Japanese eggplants in varying shades of iridescent purple, and charming, petite lavender-and-white-striped Italian eggplants. The flavors of these varieties were only subtly diverse, and I have yet to encounter a bitter one. The best were the freshest, shiny with taut skin and a still-green stem, which had not been in cold storage for too long. In fact, the sun-loving tropical plant, native to India, prefers to never be below 50ºF and is thus best kept outside the refrigerator.
There are countless ways to cook an eggplant. Most of the classic dishes require an oven or grill to be lit for nearly an hour. I knew the crunchy coating that I craved would take some time at the stove, but I hoped it wouldn't be nearly that long. And since we are in the sweltering depths of summer, I yearned for an accompanying salad that didn't demand too much fuss. A cool lentil salad with mint and radishes perfectly fit the bill.
Eggplant with Lentil Salad and Tahini Yogurt
With a nod to falafel, this eggplant dish combines crisp breaded eggplant, lentil salad, crunchy radishes, and creamy tahini yogurt in a warm, toasted pita.
Serves 4
1 small eggplant (about ½ pound)
¾ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 large eggs
¼ cup buttermilk
1 ¼ cups panko bread crumbs
¼ cup olive or vegetable oil
¾ cup Greek-style yogurt
2 tablespoons tahini
3 green onions, white and green parts thinly sliced
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
½ teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons high-quality extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup French green lentils
¼ cup fresh mint leaves, sliced
1 bunch radishes, thinly sliced
Pita bread, for serving
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Slice the eggplant into ¼-inch-thick rounds, and place them in a single layer on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt, then set aside for at least 15 minutes. Flip the eggplant rounds, sprinkle the other side with salt, and set aside for another 15 minutes. Blot any droplets that appear on the surface.
Set three shallow bowls side by side. In the first bowl, combine flour, red pepper flakes, and ¼ teaspoon salt. In the second bowl, whisk eggs, buttermilk, and ¼ cup cold water. In the third bowl, scatter the bread crumbs. Dredge each eggplant round in the flour mixture, then dip it in the egg mixture, and finally toss it in the bread crumbs.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Swirl in 2 tablespoons olive oil, tilting and lifting the skillet so that the oil covers the entire surface. (Add a bit more, if needed.) Working in batches, add breaded eggplant rounds to the skillet in a single layer. They should sizzle immediately. If they don't, wait another minute or two for the pan and oil to heat up before adding more eggplant. Cook for 3 minutes or until golden brown, flip, then cook for another 2 minutes. Transfer cooked eggplant to a large plate. Wipe skillet with a paper towel to remove any burned crumbs, then add more oil and cook remaining eggplant.
In a small bowl, stir together yogurt, tahini, a pinch of salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Chill tahini yogurt until needed.
In another small bowl, whisk together sliced green onions, lemon juice, lemon zest, red wine vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil, ¾ teaspoon salt, and several grinds of black pepper.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Rinse the lentils, then drop them into the boiling water and cook until just tender, about 20 minutes. Drain, then transfer lentils to a large bowl. Pour dressing over warm lentils and stir to combine well. Add sliced mint and radishes.
Serve eggplant alongside lentil salad with a dollop of tahini yogurt and lots of warm, toasted pita bread.
(Note: The lentil salad will keep, covered in the refrigerator, for several days. It makes a fantastic lunch on the following day. The breaded eggplant, however, is best on the day it is made.)

2008 Lincoln Mark LT Tire Pressure TPMS Reset Procedure
2008 Lincoln Mark LT Tire Pressure TPMS Reset Procedure – Mark LT is a full-size four-door luxury pickup produced by Lincoln since 2006. In the United States, the car was sold until 2008, while in Mexico the marketing continued despite a temporary break in 2009. The sale of Mark LT started in January 2005 for the model year 2006. The model succeeded the very unlucky Lincoln Blackwood, which was only marketed in 2002 and was only available with rear traction.
The Mark LT, on the other hand, is equipped with a rear-wheel drive as well as an optional all-wheel drive. The car, which is assembled in Dearborn (Michigan) and in Cuautitlán (Mexico), is built on the Ford P2 platform. The Mark LT is based on the Ford F-150 and was equipped with a V6 engine of 5.4 l displacement. In 2011, this engine was replaced by a 5-liter V8 engine. In both cases, the propulsion unit is mounted in front.
2008 Lincoln Mark LT Tire Pressure TPMS Reset Procedure:
If you receive a low-tire-pressure monitoring system (TPMS) warning light while driving and you want to clear or turning off the warning light on your 2007 2008 Lincoln Mark LT, follow these instructions:
- Make sure the vehicle is at a complete stop
- Turn the engine switch off
- Adjust the tire inflation pressure recommended on the tire placard located on the door panel.
- Driving for a few miles (kilometers), calibration will complete after 2 minutes of cumulative driving at 20 mph (32 km/h).
If you replaced a wheel, tire, TPMS sensor etc. and are now getting a warning light on your car, then the sensor needs to be reset. For that you need to purchase the correct TPMS reset tool and follow these instructions:
- Stop the vehicle in a safe place and turn the engine switch off and engage the parking brake.
- Press and release the brake pedal.
- Turn the ignition from OFF to ON position three (3) times ending in the on position without starting the engine.
- If your car has a Smart key button, press once to turn on, then press again to put the vehicle into ACC mode, then press again to turn the vehicle off. Repeat 2 more times, ending in ACC mode.
- Press the brake pedal again for 2 seconds, then release.
- Turn the ignition to OFF position (DO NOT remove the key)
- Turn the ignition from OFF to ON position three (3) times ending in the on position without starting the engine.
- If the reset mode has been entered successfully, the horn will sound once.
- Starting from the driver's side front tire, place the relearn tool against the tire sidewall, near the valve stem. Then press the button to activate the TPMS sensor.
- Repeat the procedure on the right-front tire, the right rear tire, and the last one left rear tire.
- A horn chirp confirms that the sensor identification code has been matched to this tire and wheel position.
- After hearing the confirming horn chirp for the left rear tire, training is completed and a message is shown in the information display.Turn ignition to OFF position. Adjust all tires to pressure listed on tire placard.
For more details, please watch the following video:
This procedure should be work on the latest generation of Lincoln Mark LT (2007 2008) models. Hopefully, the article of How To Reset Lincoln Navigator TPMS Tire Light Sensors useful for you. Good Luck!
