KC Council postpones vote on InterContinental CID request until Oct. 6
The Kansas City Council won't vote until Oct. 6 on the InterContinental Hotel's request for a community improvement district.
The measure was set for a vote Thursday, but supporters said it didn't yet have majority council support and there were still too many unanswered questions. Hotel representatives asked the council to postpone the measure for two weeks, and members agreed to that delay.
The CID request has raised eyebrows because the InterContinental Hotel is a luxury hotel located on the Country Club Plaza. Yet it needs a "blight" designation to create a CID that would allow it to impose a 1-cent sales tax on its property for 20 years. The hotel wants to use the sales tax revenues to pay for part of $16 million in upgrades to the parking garage, lobby, restaurant, other public areas and guest rooms.
Councilwoman Katheryn Shields, who supports the hotel request, said many people don't understand the issue. She said critics think that somehow this is a tax break or a tax incentive, when in fact it is a tax increase that the hotel wants to impose on its guests for major improvements to sustain the property for years into the future. The Missouri Community Improvement District statute requires a blight designation to use these types of tax dollars for private property improvements and blight remediation.
Some critics say they do understand the issue, but a blight finding should be used for underprivileged and long-neglected parts of the city, not the Plaza. They believe the hotel's private owners should use their own money — and increase room rates if necessary — to pay for these improvements. They also believe the InterContinental's request will set a precedent in which many other hotels will seek the same type of taxing authority.

The power we have as Moms is truly one of the most amazing gifts! And Brittney makes 'Mommy Life' look like a breeze. She showed up perfectly glowing and already showing us how beautiful breastfeeding our little babies can be. ❤
I get asked often why I choose to capture such moments like this… And the truth is. I wasn't able to capture these memories of motherhood with my children. Breastfeeding was still (and still is) a very touchy subject for people. So as a Mom who supports my fellow Breastfeeding Moms. I wanted to make sure those who know me, have the chance to document their story perfectly for themselves with Tashena Shaw Photography.
Brittney being a new Mom shared with me her struggles and how this is a moment in her journey she just had to capture. She understands the journey isn't easy for us all. But encourages Moms to do the best they can with what they have. Listening to her share her story, love, and journey in Motherhood was inspiring.
These images from her nursing session were so beautiful to capture. Everything from the warmth of the sunset, to the golden light that came off the water, all the way to seeing how her little beauty refused to stop feeding just because there was a camera pointing at her…. Every moment was a precious and stunning moment to witness. And the funny moment was when we were all done this little beauty shared her 'Milk Drunk' face with us. And as ANY Moms knows… The milk face is just the cutest!
Thank you Brittney for the chance to help share your journey with other Moms just like you! ❤

Our holistic strategy to wealth administration starts with understanding your needs, targets, and aims. I'm a Prulife uK holder already! And I discover it good up to now..as a result of some of my buddies have prulife insurance coverage and the suggestions to this point is nice..And Prulife is a reputable firm..To igotinked: I factor it's best to attend some seminars for you to be able to know extra about the firm as a result of Prulife is among the greatest company, They're just using Prulife Uk here within the philippines as a result of after they entered right here there's already a Prudential company which is a mutual fund additionally, however there title in UK is Prudential, even when I went to Hongkong final month It's Prudential is simply that here in the Philippines It is Prulife Uk.
A great recommendation from a trusted good friend or family member can go a great distance, however if you want to vet the reliability of your advisor (and also you do), it's best to begin with the NAPFA, the Nationwide Affiliation of Private Financial Advisors Other sites, like NerdWallet , GOBankingRates , or FutureAdvisor will aid you find planners and accredited advisors, too. However, NAPFA is probably essentially the most simple website, as a result of all advisors listed their database are certified, payment-solely, and every year they signal and renew a Fiduciary Oath.
Entry can be open, underneath the identical necessities, to students in possession of a level obtained under overseas instructional systems, as soon as the College verifies that the diploma is equivalent to an official Spanish bachelor's degree that offers entry to the Master program. Similar identical for federal staff, if the Individuals want them handled like waitresses they might insist on it, however you won't have a federal workforce.
At the end of the yr, add up all the separate figures from the front of your file folders and list the totals on a piece of paper. I truly do an Excel spreadsheet for mine, but you can do it on only a common sheet of paper. This paper is what you will work from while you both do your individual taxes or take the paper to your tax preparer. Make certain YOU make a copy of the paper for those who use a tax preparer. And all tax returns in addition to the accompanying information (receipt, invoices, and so forth.) are to be saved for six years in case IRS decides to audit you. Be sure you what you claim is deductible and you should have no problems.
This assumption assumes accounting measures transactions and occasions in money and solely transactions that may be monetized (acknowledged in a monetary unit equivalent to peso) recorded and presented in the financial statements. The tax analyst has the opportunity to maneuver to a senior accountant position with a number of years of expertise. Companies normally seek investment decisions from these senior accountants. Hence, earlier than transferring into this wealth administration subject, it's a must to develop in-depth fiscal information.

Software Development for Small Businesses is not a Thing of Dreams
Many small companies continue to work most of their processes as in the 80's and the main reason is because software development is an unattainable dream for many of them. However, we believe that it is an unexplored field and that it has all the potential for growth.
The first thing you should know is that small and medium-sized companies tend to focus on the commercial sector and services, because their size and characteristics can't be configured in the industrial sector that requires greater investment of resources. For example, large companies use various management programs in order to operate: from an ERP, through logistics software for the warehouse, a CRM for commercial management, resource management, security, human resources and many more. To make this simpler, they develop a single system that integrates all the functionalities or integrate one by one as they are required. In any case, the final result is a giant computer system that requires great maintenance, future adjustments and customization for your needs.
A medium or small company will never be able to cope with a system of these characteristics, such implantation costs will be unattainable. On the other hand, the vast majority don't need such systems. It is not the same to organize the operations of 5,000 employees with 300 projects and daily revenue of several millions to getting 4 employees on board in the same project.
The great advantage of working with small companies is that they allow us to be much more agile in development, from the identification of their requirements, review and approval times are shorter, the learning curve is faster and the satisfaction of clients is higher when they see results that allow them to be more efficient with their business processes.
Here are some things we do that make software development for small businesses something you can actually aim at:
- We develop custom software according to your unique goals and processes. If the objective is to standardize processes, a solution-oriented approach should be taken and a thorough QA process needs to take place since a solution that is too complex could cause problems for the organization instead of helping it move forward.·
- We involve those in charge of the processes, especially in traditional or familiar settings. Change can be received with reluctance from company members, making it necessary to work with all the participants to make them feel the project is their own. This helps guarantee the achievement of the objectives set.·
- We use agile methodologies, which allow the client to see small advances, provide feedback, improve and visualize early victories that embody the changes the software will bring for the company.
- We choose a reliable development language that does not require too many changes and / or future updates, companies appreciate it and will surely want to work on similar projects in the future.

(In The Life Of The Church)
Attention Collection (by jamie)
David Dark recently introduced me to the phrase "attention collection." In essence, this phrase is self-descriptive: it refers to the body of ideas, media, etc., that have left a meaningful mark on oneself over the years. We intuitively dip into and share from our attention collection every time we excitedly tell a friend about something we've read or seen, and in sharing this, we share something of ourselves.
So I want to share a few recent additions to my attention collection:
1. Life's Too Short To Pretend You're Not Religious by David Dark
I started my year by finally turning my attention toward David Dark. I've known about his popular The Sacredness of Questioning Everything for many years, but never actually picked it up. I decided to start my reading year with that, and it was great. A few months later, Life's Too Short To Pretend You're Not Religious released, and I devoured it pretty quickly. It feels cheap to summarize, as it was a joy to read, but I will say that it articulates and expounds upon much of what ubc claims to believe about the relationship between faith and culture, and you should read it. We do, however, live in a time where publishers make trailers for books (what a time to be alive), and I think this one is decent:
2. May It Last (the Avett Brothers Documentary)
When this documentary released in theaters, Byron Griffin (who plays guitar at ubc) asked the ubc band if we wanted to go see it with him, and no one responded to his text. We were foolish. When I eventually sat down to watch it, I found that this documentary is excellent. Months later, I still I think about the scene where they are recording "No Hard Feelings" at least twice a week. I think you need to watch the whole documentary to feel the strength of this moment (and especially the scene directly after), but it's worth watching this clip anyway:
3. God of the Oppressed by James Cone
This book was challenging to read for so many reasons, not the least of which is its revealing of a host of blind spots in my own theological upbringing. Cone's vantage point is one to which I have literally no experiential access, and encountering his witness has reframed/is reframing my theological word. There's no one excerpt that I think captures the most important parts of this work (there are too many), but I return to this one often:
There is no place we can stand that will remove us from the limitations of history and thus enable us to tell the whole truth without the risk of ideological distortion. As long as we live and have our being in time and space, absolute truth is impossible. But this concession is not an affirmation of unrestricted relativity. We can and must say something about the world that is not reducible to our own subjectivity. That trans-subjective "something" is expressed in story, indeed is embodied in story.
Story is the history of individuals coming together in the struggle to shape life according to commonly held values. The Jewish story is found in the Hebrew Bible and the Rabbinic traditions. The early Christian story is told in the Old and New Testaments, with the emphasis on the latter as the fulfillment of the former. The white American story is found in the history of European settlements struggling against dark forests and savage people to found a new nation. The Black American story is recorded in the songs, tales, and narratives of African slaves and their descendants, as they attempted to survive with dignity in a land inimical to their existence. Every people has a story to tell, something to say to themselves, their children, and to the world about how they think and live, as they determine and affirm their reason for being. The story both expresses and participates in the miracle of moving from nothing to something, from nonbeing to being.
When people ask me, "How do you know that what you say is true?" my reply is: "Ultimately, I don't know and neither does anybody else." We are creatures of history, not divine beings. I cannot claim infinite knowledge. What I can do is to bear witness to my story, to tell it and live it, as the story grips my life and pulls me out of nothingness into being. However, I am not imprisoned within my story. Indeed, when I understand truth as story, I am more likely to be open to other people's truth stories. As I listen to other stories, I am invited to move out of the subjectivity of my own story into another realm of thinking and acting. The same is true for others when I tell my story.
It is only when stories are abstracted from a concrete situation and codified into Law or dogma that their life-blood is taken away and thus a people begins to think that its ways of thinking and living are the only real possibilities. When people can no longer listen to other people's stories, they become enclosed within their own social context, treating their distorted visions of reality as the whole truth. And then they feel that they must destroy other stories, which bear witness that life can be lived in another way. White people's decimation of red people and enslavement of black people in North America are examples of attempts to deprive people of their stories, in order to establish the white story as the only truth in history. That was why slaves were not permitted to communicate in their African languages and why red people were placed on reservations. White people were saying that black and red stories were lies and superstitions that have no place in a "civilized" country. From some perspectives, the white story of black enslavement may be a "valid" story, but from the perspective of the victims it is a tale of terror and bloodshed. From the biblical view it is an epic of rebellion, the usurpation of God's rule. In other words, it is ideology.
Story can serve as a check against ideological thinking, especially from the biblical perspective. If theologians wish to retain the dialectic of story as a crucial ingredient of the gospel message, then their language about that message must speak less of philosophical principles and more of concrete events in the lives of the people. We must assume that the biblical story has its own integrity and truth independent of our subjective states. We are not free to read just anything into the biblical story. Whatever may be someone's view about the Scripture from another faith standpoint, anyone who reads the Bible sympathetically can hardly overlook its central focal point: the proclamation that God in Christ has come to redeem humankind. From this assumption, we must move through human history, Christian and non-Christian, asking what is the relation of God's story in Christ to human stories, especially to our own. By assuming that the biblical story exists independently of our stories and that it lays a claim upon us in our contemporary existence, we are forced to move out of our subjectivity and to hear the Word that we do not possess. And if we accept the One to whom the Bible points, then we know that the validity of our stories in the world is dependent upon God's affirmation of us as God's own possession. God's story becomes our story through the faith made possible by the grace of God's presence with us. (93-95)
As a bonus, here's a video interview with Cone about his work in general that hits on some the important themes in the book:

Workplace safety body Comcare has been granted an appeal to the High Court of Australia to challenge a compensation claim brought by a woman who was injured whilst engaging in sexual intercourse during a business trip in 2007. Having been sent to Nowra to conduct budget reviews for her employer (a federal agency), the woman returned to her hotel room with a "male acquaintance" after dinner, where they had "vigorous sex". As reported in the Sydney Morning Herald, a light fitting above the bed fell onto the woman's face during intercourse, and she received a compensation payout from Comcare for 'facial and psychological injuries' sustained during the course of her employment. However in 2010, Comcare revoked her payout after the Administrative Appeals Tribunal found that sex was not an "ordinary incident of an overnight stay".
The woman took the matter to the Federal Court, and succeeded in April last year on the grounds that her safety during the entirety of the trip was the responsibility of her employer. News Limited reports that Comcare's appeal will see the High Court looking at the distinction between private and business-related activities on work trips, and asking the legal question: "when is someone in the course of employment". Judges had pointed out that if the injury had occurred when the woman was "playing a game of cards", she would have received compensation despite not having been encouraged to partake in the activity by her employer.
The woman's barrister Leo Gray told News Limited that "moral judgement" should be withheld, and the unusual circumstances through which the woman's injury was sustained did not require an amendment to the legal test of how breaks from 'work' are considered on a business trip. The Cairns Post reports that the solicitor representing Comcare stated that at the heart of the case is the "exercise of autonomy" by an individual. The case is set to come before the High Court in August this year.

As an optometrist, you know the importance of seeing clearly and maintaining eye health. Website design, however, is probably not a skill that you developed while you were studying or working to build your business. There are website designers though who specialize in creating Custom Websites for Optometrist. Those companies that focus on Optometric Website Design understand your business and use their skills to create a website that fully supports your needs.
Custom Optometry Websites may not be on the forefront of your mind when you are studying and building your skills. But when you start planning your business, you will realize that you need to broadly market your services. One way to do that is with a website. There are a couple of ways that you can achieve that goal – the less expensive "build it yourself" website builder services that are frequently advertised or hire a professional web designer. While a template or website builder service may seem, on the surface, to be an easier, less expensive option, there are many factors that you may not be aware of that will impact your business and how you present it to potential clients. Sure, your nephew may be a computer whiz but does he truly know the ins and outs of web design and marketing? By taking shortcuts, it may actually take you longer and cost more money to get the web presence that you and your business needs. The easy options can be tempting but, realistically, it's more economical to invest the time and money to ensure that the resulting product meets your needs. This requires hiring a professional who specializes in Optometric Website Design.
Professional Websites are Designed For Your Business Needs
A professional website designer will spend the time to get to know you and your business goals. This allows them to tailor the website and its functions to your specific needs. Initially, they will introduce you to a wide variety of options and terms that you may not be familiar with. This takes time, but they are getting to know you and discovering the functions that are most important to your business. Ask a lot of questions and ask for clarification at any point when you don't understand a word or concept. As you begin this journey, it's also good to spend some time really looking at different websites and noting some of the functions that you would like to incorporate into your website. You may have some colleagues who have been through this experience before. A thoughtful approach may seem time-consuming in the beginning, but it will actually save you a lot of frustration down the road. This period of exploration will give you a better idea of how you want to present your company publicly. Website designers understand that their clients may not be familiar with many of the industry terms or standards and will work to explain these to new clients. They want clients to understand the what options they have and the costs associated with them. Perhaps you want to be able to send regular newsletters to stay in close contact with your current patients and potential clients. These are the things that a professional web developer will discuss with you to help create a website that will have the framework to grow as your business does.
Ability to Update the Website with Fresh Content
Search engines more frequently "crawl" websites that have fresh and every changing content. To have the ability to continually post new content to your site, the develop will install and train you on a content management system. These are quite easy to use and gives you greater control over the information that you share publicly. Template based websites don't have this capacity. In most cases, you are limited in what you can do initially and your ability to keep it fresh and relevant. A professionally designed website will allow you to share information in ways that you are comfortable with. As mentioned, many optometrists send weekly newsletters about upcoming events and promotions; other use a blog to communicate. Some do both. Discovering what feels most comfortable and suitable for your business can help you decide which outlets are best for you so that you can best highlight your services. Your web developer will be able to more fully discuss these options with you.
Search Engine Friendly Websites
Each search engine employs different parameters in their search function. Professional website designers spend a lot of time staying current with these parameters so that their clients' websites are found when anyone runs a search. Sure, some clients will come to you by word of mouth, but most likely, they will find your business by running an internet search for an eye care provider in their area. Websites built with a template or website builder tool won't be as search engine friendly. You also won't have the support of professional insight into changing industry standards. You may have a visually pretty website, but if it doesn't constantly reach new clients and offer a platform to share information with existing clients, why should you invest in one?
Browser Compatibility
People use many different web browsers to access their favorite sites. Business owners want the web presence that they publish to appear the same regardless of the browser that a client uses. This is not guaranteed with template websites. With those types of cookie-cutter sites, you may find that what looks great on one particular browser doesn't translate well in another. This lack of uniformity can detract from your business' credibility in the eyes of a consumer. Another aspect to consider is how your website will look on cellphones and tablets. The rise in the popularity of mobile technology is a benefit to business owners, but it also represents challenges. A professional web designer will ensure that no matter how potential clients find your business, they will have the same experiences and receive the same information. This specialized knowledge and attention to detail are what you get when you invest the time and money to build a professionally designed site. It is not what you will get if you take shortcuts with a template.
Going through the website design process doesn't have to be a difficult process. It does require thought and exploration. A professional website developer will work with you to develop the product your need. They will also work to stay within your budget while also highlighting the various website functions that you may find useful to promote your business. The time is well spent.

Mr. Burns' Casino is about to get demolished, however, a confusion over whether demolitions are supposed to involve implosions or explosions results in the casino being blasted into a huge dust cloud. The family goes to the car wash to get rid of the dust, and when Homer is there, he sees that Ned Flanders gets a senior discount. Homer thinks Ned is lying and tries to expose him at church, but Ned proves he really is sixty years old. People are impressed that Ned looks so young for his age and remark that he must take exceptional care of himself, but when Ned says that he follows the three "c"s of success—clean living, chewing thoroughly, and "a daily dose of vitamin Church!"—they start to pity him for having never, in their view, truly lived at all.
Ned reluctantly agrees with this and asks Homer to teach him the secret to his lust for life. This leads Homer to head towards Mr. Burns' Casino, but when Ned reminds Homer it is now defunct, Homer instead takes Ned on a gambling trip to Las Vegas. Homer is confident about going there, but Flanders is nervous. When they arrive, they see Captain Lance Murdock (from "Bart the Daredevil") doing one of his stunts, and Homer chooses to volunteer, and survives. They wander into a casino called "Nero's Palace" and begin to play roulette. Ned protests against games of chance because of Deuteronomy 7, but Homer ignores him and takes the reference as a lucky number. They win, but immediately lose all they won. They then go to the casino's bar, and Ned gives into temptation and gets drunk of wine spritzers. Homer and Ned wake up the next morning in their hotel room married to two cocktail waitresses: Homer's new wife is named Amber, and Ned's new wife is Ginger. Homer finally realizes he got in over his head. While Homer fantasizes about bigamy, Ned snaps Homer back to reality by saying they were drunk and thus not of sound judgement to have such quickie, plastic weddings; also they are already married.
Homer and Ned try to escape from the waitresses, going on a wild rampage through the casino, until they are confronted by casino security, Gunter and Ernst (also from "$pringfield"), Drederick Tatum, Boomhauer, and the Moody Blues. Homer and Ned attempt to escape in a car, but are beaten up in the process and are exiled from Las Vegas. Amber & Ginger angrily tell the two never to marry them again. Homer and Ned head back to their real wives in Springfield by hitchhiking, only to be attacked by two hungry vultures on their way back, being heard screaming as the credits roll.

Rome, Italy...13 July, 2010
Anyone who has followed this little diary in past will know of our devotion to Ristorante Lagana here in Rome. This afternoon we made our return. With our friends Marco Caviglia and Valerio Barbantini we arrived at 44 Via dell' Orso around 1:30 this afternoon. As always our hosts, Mimmo and his wife Cinzia were on hand to welcome us with open arms. As soon as we sat down the dishes began arriving. I'll list only some of them, but it is impossible to put in writing how exquisite this food tasted; cantaloupe, prosciutto, mozzarella, focaccia, figs, fried calamari with zucchini, grilled aubergine, diced celery with cheese, sliced Roma tomatoes with red chili and olive oil, spaghetti with fried pancetta and parmesan, fettuccine in a peccorino, cream and black pepper sauce, cannolli stuffed with sweetened creamed ricotta cheese, fresh fruits, wine, beer, desert wine. It was a meal that we'd waited two years for and tasted better than we remembered from last time. Check Lagana out on the internet at www.ristorantelagana.it If you are ever in Rome, do not pass up the chance to have lunch or dinner at Lagana and tell them I sent you.
We were so full that everyone went back to the hotel and had a nap before the gig. It was a late car call today, 7 p.m., as we played in Rome and the venue, Auditorium Parco della Musica was only 10 minutes from the hotel. A great oval open air amphitheater, modern and very intimate. It seats about 3,000 and it was full of wonderful Romans. We loved playing tonight though it was a little tricky as it was hot and humid which makes for sticky guitar and bass necks. Still it was a grand gig.
A quick hop back to the hotel, drink at the bar and a relatively early night for me.
So long,

Have You Played… – Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light (XBLA Special)"Have You Played…" is a weekly segment on asking gamers if they have played the game in question. It's similar to "Do You Remember?", but it looks at current generation games, no matter what platform they are on (as long as they are also on the Xbox 360)! The segment basically asks you if you have played it, so it gets you involved. If you have not played the game, at the same time, Charlie will give his score on how badly this needs to be played and if it's for you. The segment is also for games good, or bad, so this segment will either tell you to play a game, or tell you to keep away.
Want to write your own "Have You Played…" to be published on 22 May? For details, click here.
8.5 out of 10Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light was developed by Crystal Dynamics and Nixxes Software and was released in 2010. As well as Xbox Live Arcade, this game was also developed for the Playstation Network and the PC.

Triton's Voice on Triton's voices
January 23, 2019
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Today's news programs highlight the tensions and conflicts that engulf the world, but rarely emphasize the things that bring humanity together. One pass time, which a few Tritonians have experience with, that celebrates the bonds and similarities people share is music.
Triton has had a history of students who make and produce their own music. Big Ders (Andrew Almeida), Big L (Lewis Lehereux), and Andrew Pesatoro, are a few of the more popular musicians once well known by students at Triton. These rappers and singers found refuge for their music in places such as Soundcloud and Youtube, frequently releasing songs and tracks for their peers pleasure. As time went on and these familiar faces graduated, the passion for making music still stayed strong within the student body, which shows through the raw amount of musicians that Triton has to offer.
Ava Ford, one of Triton's few female musicians, began songwriting when she was in seventh grade, but started taking things more seriously her sophomore year. Ford says she's always been able to sing but started honing her abilities because she enjoyed it so much.
"I just really enjoyed writing music." Ford stated.
Ford's musics is similar to many current female hip hop artists. Though none of it has been released, Ava's friends get VIP access and critique her music. It's been described as slower than other hip hop music, but still exciting.
"It's [Ford's music] wonderful and I want her to come out with her album soon." said Junior Sophia Agrella."
"I think she's really talented." said Junior Kaelyn Scalley.
The young singer has support from both her friends and family, but not completely. When Ford considers a future as a musician, she says her mother "puts it off". Ava's friends similarly get overwhelmed by her big ambitions.
"I kinda show them my music a lot and sometimes they're like, 'We get it you make music.'" says Ford.
When making music, Ava's first step is to find a beat. She'll look for R&B beats, taking her time while selecting. After that, she writes her lyrics and heads straight to her basement to produce. Ford uses only her phone as equipment for her music, recording and editing everything with it.
Comparing herself to other Triton Musicians, Ford says "I wouldn't say that I'm better than anyone, but I think I hold up pretty well."
Looking ahead to the future, the young musician is considering a music career. She will continue writing, saying her favorite part is, "Just kind of expressing myself through my songs."
Baby Bear, better known as Josiah Ciampa, starting rapping 8 years ago when he was only 8 himself. Starting as just something to pass time, Ciampa frequently listened to beats and thought of rhymes off the top of his head. As he became older, Baby Bear began writing his lyrics down and tried to perfect his rhythm and flow.
The more the young rapper rapped, the more he enjoyed it.
"Playing around with different flows and playing around with different words… you get to listen what you make and I like it." said Ciampa.
Baby Bear's music is party music. It's unpredictable rhythms and strong bass leads listeners to excitement and pumping adrenaline. Similar to the popular group Migos, Ciampas use of slang and pop culture references gets people even more interested.
"He's actually really good." Says Junior Andrew Maiuri "He spits bars."
As Ciampa continued to rap, he got better, and eventually made his journey to Soundcloud. Baby Bear, the rappers account on Soundcloud, is where Ciampa releases his music. Ciampa currently has 3 songs released on Soundcloud and in 2017, he released his most popular song, Sprite, which now has over 60,000 plays.
Josiah says that his friends and family support him and that his mom frequently listens to his music. He gives large credit to his friends for boosting his popularity on SoundCloud, as many students advertised his music on social media.
Sometimes Ciampa branches off and works with his friend Duncan Macdonald, a former Triton student who goes by the rapper name ZonaBoy. Ciampa wishes to work with other students but has doubts in their capabilities.
"I wanna make music with other artists, but like honestly when I look around me [At Triton] I don't really see anybody that's on par."
When making his music, Baby Bear records and edits everything on his laptop using the software audacity. Ciampa says he writes all of his lyrics and finds his beats off of popular producers on youtube. Ciampa's next song will be released soon on Soundcloud, which the rapper claims will be great.

We've studied the marketplace and made our rugs thicker than others we've seen out there, and 100% wool which makes them more durable than most others.
Manchester Center, VT (PRWEB) January 09, 2014
Chandler 4 Corners continues to expand its product line adding 100% wool flatweave rugs with custom color ways by designer Drew Anne Dunigan. The new line of rugs is on display at the AmericasMart Home Show in Atlanta, GA through January 14, 2014.
The core offerings at C4C have been—and remain—beautiful hand-hooked wool pillows, rugs, and accessories. This year, they will bring to market 143 new hooked wool products, all designed by Laura Megroz.
The AmericasMart Home Furnishings and Gift Show opened January 7. Chandler 4 Corners has a permanent showroom on the 9th floor of building 1 and it is always a hub for buyers looking for high quality products with a broad consumer appeal.
The flatweave rugs, according to company president Henry Chandler, carry on the C4C philosophy with designs that transport the consumer, at least momentarily, away from the everyday and into a place of memories and smiles. The flatweave rug designs are geometric color schemes, carefully arranged to be complementary and evocative. "Our new wool rugs are perfect for home, lakeside, a beach house, a cabin... with colorways geared perfectly to all different settings. Just their names alone can set the mood!" said Chandler. Names such as Garden Spring, Intercoastal, Boys Club, Raspberry Field, Mountain Stream, Summer Lodge, and River Run—are romantic and expressive.
"These flatweaves are an exciting venture for us," said Chandler, "We've studied the marketplace and made our rugs thicker than others we've seen out there, and 100% wool which makes them more durable than most others."
To see the full array of new products, visit the website or call to request the new 2014 catalog. Visitors to the Chandler 4 Corners booth at the Americasmart trade show, will have a chance to do both - see (and feel!) the new rugs, and pick up a 2014 catalog.
Chandler 4 Corners has been providing hand-hooked wool pillows, rugs and accent furniture to the upscale market since 1991. In 2013, they introduced knit pillows and in 2014 they have brought out a line of canvas pillows and new flatweave rugs. For more information, visit c4cwholesale.com.

Everyone enjoys a nice cup of joe every now and then, some more than others. However, with such a variety of different types and brewing methods out there, it is safe to say that not all coffee is created equal. Read the following article and learn how you can find the best coffee for your enjoyment.
If you are a heavy coffee drinker make lunch you last cup. Drinking caffeine in the afternoon and evening can seriously effect your ability to sleep soundly. As long as you don't load your coffee up with too many calories it is just fine to have several cups during the morning hours.
Keep your coffee stored in containers that do not allow air to enter. If your beans get exposed to a lot of air, they'll go stale and result in poor-tasting coffee. Avoid bags that can not be resealed after you open them. Their only purpose is for letting air escape when they cool after roasting.
Do you plan on wowing guests with freshly brewed coffee? You should make an attempt in decorating your homemade lattes. With a little bit of practice, you will be able to produce pretty patterns and designs to give your coffee that special touch. Use milk with melted chocolate and keep practicing when you make your coffee.
Only buy organic coffee. Coffee is among the more absorbent crops in existence, and it gets its flavor primarily from the soil that it was grown in. Coffee that is grown organically has a nice natural taste.
If you want the best iced coffee that you have ever had, you need to brew the coffee cold. If you do try to make hot coffee cold, you can end up with a pretty awful brew. If you start your brewing right before bedtime, you will have delicious iced coffee for your morning commute.
Do not freeze all of your coffee in one large container. This is a good way for your coffee to become spoiled easily. Every time you thaw out coffee, it will have some moisture in it. Refreezing it constantly will kill the quality. Use small storage bags to freeze it in batches.
Make sure you are patient whenever you are creating lattes. The best lattes are those that are created with due care. Be careful when pouring the milk, and use extreme caution when creating the design. Don't just rush into it, and if you need some ideas on designs, check out Flickr.
Did you know that drinking a cup of coffee will improve your exercise? Studies have shown that the caffeine in coffee will give you a great boost when consumed prior to your exercise routine. This little lift may be just what you need to get through your exercise and preform the way you want.
As you now know, there are a vast number of different types of coffee available to you. When you use the information given in the article above, you will allow yourself to discover and enjoy the type of coffee that suits you best. Just remember what you've read and enjoy!

In this new age of social media and extensive web interaction, it's likely that most, if not all, employees find the time to have some sort of interaction with their media pages while at work. Either through their own personal devices or company assigned. Determining when it is acceptable for employees to be connected to social media in the workplace, and when it is not, requires a careful balancing act.
Employers do not pay employees to chat with friends on social media. Some go to the extent of blocking such sites, for the sake of productivity. Others fully embrace the concept, as an avenue for employees to avoid been burned out from a full day's work. Regardless of the strategy your organization seek to employ, consistency and communication is key.
Managers, Human Resource professionals, and other organizational leaders should take the time to understand the culture within their organizations and communicate their expectations regarding appropriate employee conduct to align with the same. Workplace policies should be expressed as clearly and unambiguously as possible, consistently and fairly by the employer.
Ideally, such instructions can be incorporated into an employee handbook or they may be communicated to employees as stand- alone policies and standards. As part of written orientation materials; email communications; or posting in areas frequented by employees; as a rule, each employee should acknowledge receipt of the policies by signing a copy of the notice.
Effective social media policies should be adapted to your company's specific work environment and culture. For companies who want to embrace technology, appeal to millennials, and promote a flexible work environment such policies may be more lenient. For a manufacturing plant, however, it may not be wise to accommodate such leniency in their production line with regards for safety and efficiency concerns.

After photographing 27 weddings in 2016, we noticed there we came up with a few photography tips and tricks to enhance everyone's wedding day experience. Whether you are the bride and groom or a guest at the wedding, here are 3 tips to experience the ultimate wonderful wedding day.
1. Minimizing the appearance of cell phones in your wedding photos.
Ok, it could be easily said that we're a bit biased, but here's the thing - you are paying for high quality wedding photography so you can have crisp, clean photos of your day and let your guests enjoy the celebration. When guests pull out their cell phones to take a snap of the bride walking down the aisle, your photos quickly change from your loved ones experiencing a ceremony to a group of people with faces half or fully covered by phones. What's worse is when trying to get the best angle, they block the hired photographer from capturing the moment. Weddings are something to be celebrated, and with our life of social media and sharing our happiest moments as they're happening, we understand the draw to pull out the phone and take a quick photo. This is why we at The People Picture Company share sneak peeks of your day on our social media pages (Facebook & Instagram) either that night or the very next day. So turn the cells on vibrate and put them away. Watch the bride walk, take a look at the groom's face the first time he sees her, and enjoy the celebration.
And because we love silly videos - here's a great parody video of the importance of unplugged weddings by SLF Weddings.
2. Little things to do to make the most out of your prep photos.
Getting coffee in the morning? Have the barista write "bride" or "groom" on your cup! This makes for great details shots of your morning, plus everyone will know what cup to fetch when you ask.
While getting your hair and makeup done, don't forget to smile! Share the happiness and butterflies you're feeling with the world. It translates amazingly on camera and everyone will be able to feel the joy radiating off you.
Bring wooden hangers for the bridal gown and bridesmaids dresses. You don't need to spend the $20-50 on a custom hanger with your new name, although that's a nice touch if you choose to do so. But a simple wooden hanger from any dollar store is a small detail that makes the photos of the dresses 10x better.
If you ordered special robes for your bridesmaids and the bride or ties and pocket squares for the groomsmen and groom, be sure to steam out the wrinkles before the big day. This goes for anything that comes in a plastic bag - take it out and check to see if there are folding creases. If there are, give them a good steam (or iron, but check the heat setting so it doesn't burn) and hang them up so they'll be wrinkle free!
3. Things to try before the wedding.
Tying a bow or neck tie. There are many step-by-step tutorials online including videos and diagrams. Take some time with a computer, mirror, and a bow or neck tie, and practice. If you still can't get the hang of it, see if your dad, uncle, grandfather, or one of your groomsmen or ushers can master it. This will create a wonderful moment for your photographer to capture.

Super Sour Diesel Avis
"I was strain hunting and saw this at a local club, so I decided to pick up an 8th. Tight dense nuggets covered in a myriad of hazy white crystals. Beautiful orange hairs sprout from everywhere. The aroma initially hits you with a gentle sweetness and then your nose is flooded with an electrifying sour lemony overtone, sending a wave of chills up and down your spine. The smell alone acts as an aphrodisiac. Upon v..."
"I only smoked occasionally, throughout the years. Never put thought into; Super Sour Diesel changed all that. Instantly I found a comfort, that for years I sought out in pills and whiskey and sadly never found. My anxiety, stress, depression and alcoholism disappear within moments of inhalation. Never has my soul felt so at peace; it truly has changed my life. No more need to run for the Xanax or whiskey to calm my n..."
"What a beautiful strain! It's potent, the lift and drop are gentle, and the peak is strong, steady, not overbearing. It's one of the longest-lasting highs I've encountered among the strains I've tried and reviewed. Sometimes I'll do a second burn on the same bowl (I vape the first time on a lower heat setting, and then vape hotter the second time), and the second burn is almost as potent as the first. 1/8g or less is..."
"Great for wake and bake. Highly recommended when playing video games lmfao"
"Super Sour Diesel: I was really excited to try this strain since I loved Sour Diesel so much. This did not disappoint! I am still figuring out how to best "use" my new Arizer Extreme Q vaporizer. I tried this in that first, but don't think it vaped well as I had a very slight buzz, but nothing earth shattering. So, I loaded up my glass pipe and smoked a bowl.... WOW! Just as great as I was hoping it would be. T..."
"this is a great strain to blaze. really strong, really dank. really, really dank. this is a great strain for people who can really hold their shit when they are totally baked. if not this is not for you"
"smoked a dub joint by myself. the first rip hit me near instantly, and halfway through i was in my own little world. i became focused on this streetlight that was flickering and couldnt tear my eyes from it for about 10 minutes. then i finished the rest of the joint and started playing battlefield 3. it made me extremely focused like i was actually in the game. after an intense 2 hours of feeling like one of the expe..."
"☄🙉 Super Silver Haze and Sour Diesel's love child? Yes please. I had high expectations and ended up higher than expected. Amazing all around. It took away the pain of existence and brought forth a creative and social spark. Very pungent, with a nice diesel aroma. I recommend this one for the more experienced toker looking for that subtle psychedelic experience that marijuana has to offer. Super Silver Haze and a de..."

When you serve a drink called the Porch Crawler, you can't expect your friends to see you as refined and sophisticated. But if you pick the right friends, you can expect them to thank you.
The Porch Crawler is definitely a down home kind of drink, and that's the beauty of it. Sometimes you just want something that's simple, easy-going and fun.
This one's all about beer and lemon, with an extra kick from vodka. It's ideal for parties. The ingredients are scaled to make a whole pitcher rather than a drink at a time, anyway.
It's equally good for a long-awaited get-together or a sudden inspiration between friends, followed by a trip to the grocery store for any ingredients not already on hand.
I find this is one of those cocktails that actually benefits from a decent quality beer. You don't need to pick something foreign or artisan. Just any good brand that you enjoy drinking on its own.
If you enjoy this drink, you should check out Beer Margaritas, which are a little more complicated but so delicious.
And if you'd like something in a berry flavor, try the Raspberry Beer, which blends beer with raspberry rum.
Porch Crawler Drink Recipe
- 12 pack of beer
- 1 liter vodka
- 1 package Kool-Aid Lemonade
Pour all ingredients into anything that will hold them. Mix them with a spoon to get the powdered lemonade dissolved. Chill and serve. Optionally garnish with lemon if you're feeling fancy.

Hooray for YOU
While walking on your path of learning self care, you begin to feel safe enough to ask for the things your heart desires and what your soul already knows is true for you. The love, the vision, the trust, the sacrifices, the adventure, the intuitive and psychic hits you receive. All of it. You begin to value your self because you have tasted what you are beyond the limitations of your mind. You know the beauty of that sunset and the ocean and deserts and that moon- lives inside you and you learn to honor it, set it free. You relearn how to pray. You practice asking for what you want because you know that you will help others open and heal once you get it. As Clarissa Pinkola Estes teaches, this asking, "what do I want?" is what keeps you in your W I L D I S H P O W E R!
Something shifts and you become willing to put in the work it takes to get there. Self care is a knowing of who and what you truly are on the most subtle and expansive level, and also how to take care of the body and heart and mind that that B I G B E A U T I F U L energy moves through. Self care is that voice inside that you listen to or ignore. It's all a part of it. And it's all learning process. H O O R A Y for self care and hooray for all the ideas you have of it that don't seem to always work. Hooray for you fumbling figuring out what you need and stuttering and being humbled as you ask for what you want. Hooray for you feeling scared and terrified to get it! Hooray for our teachers and the ones who have paved the way and Hooray for the distance to look at the embarrassing and dreadful things we do sometimes and laugh.
Hooray for L A U G H I N G and for self care as a path of feminine freedom. Hooray for your hearts wishes and desires and hooray for your beautiful, messy LIFE! It's what's happening, and it's up to you to get the guidance and support you need from the world to let that wild soul energy speak and create. One step and breath at a time! Xo #awakenedfeminine #soulbeauty #wildishpower #femininefreedom#selfcarelikewhattt #selflove #lovehardlivetrue #livingmeditation #iloveyou

1. A bunch of us went bowling last Friday night (hey that was after my H54F post, that still counts!) for Meredith's birthday. We tried Mission Bowling Club, which was more like a bar with a 6-lane bowling alley in it than anything else, which obviously made the night that much better. Which which which. And they had great cocktails - I have a recent obsession with the Moscow Mule that they easily fulfilled TO MY DELIGHT! I think this is like the time in college when I would only go to diners and eat french dip sandwiches. I'll get over it eventually.
2. I had to work all last weekend (which, let me tell you, was great in terms of getting to know the rest of the team and forging bonds and all of that, but I've already seen my paycheck and the gov took most of that OT money. I was not expecting this, and now I am sad.) and one of the best parts was learning how to use the espresso machine in the kitchen. Now I can steam milk without burning my arm off! (A previous concern of mine.)
3. Here's some milk I steamed. YUM. You're welcome for this visual.
4. This week we took some of the Google bikes over to another campus for lunch. I'd forgotten how fun it is to just hop on a bike and go, feel the wind in your hairrrrr, see the pedestrians go past in a blur as you beat them to the destination with your amazing speed! Maybe that last bit didn't happen. At any rate, it made me wish I felt more comfortable biking in the city. Note: I do not.
5. I'm not sure if this counts but I'm excited about it, so here we are: I bought these wedges this week! And wore them! Ta da!
How was your week?
ps - Notice anything different about the blog today? What do you think? Pats self on back.

Mumbai/Bhubaneswar: After five persons linked to a Bhubaneswar-based prominent businessman were charred to death in a massive fire this morning, another inferno broke out at Odisha Bhawan in Mumbai on Thursday evening.
According to reports, the fire broke out at room no -203 on the second floor of Odisha Bhawan, located at Swami Pranabananda Marg in Navi Mumbai.
Prima facie, short circuit is believed to be the reason behind the blaze but the exact cause of the fire is yet to be known.
Notably, no loss of life was reported.
Built over 2,761 sq metres, Odisha Bhawan, is a G+4 (ground plus four storey) structure, having 24 air-conditioners fitted to the entire building, double bedroom rooms, three dormitories of six beds each, four suites, apart from an air-conditioned multi-purpose hall, a library, four shops and other facilities.
Odia people particularly those suffering from health problems, prefer to stay in the guest house while undergoing treatment in Mumbai.

Weathering the Books
It is a good thing Agatha Christie was so prolific; summer is for detective stories. Every year, at just about the same time, the air ... Read More
By Jason Gray •
The singer/songwriter in me, who is more inclined to sing of poignancy than out and out joy, felt a little nervous about putting such a straight-up pop song on the record. But the fact my kids consider it their favorite of all the songs their dad has recorded gives me some much needed perspective 🙂 I'm also grateful to have had such a life-affirming song to add to the mix of songs about fear and shame. I think it brings a buoyancy to the album and the record as a whole would feel very different without it.
Check out the song diary Doug McKelvey filmed for the song–and watch through to the end for the payoff:
Good To Be Alive
(Jason Gray / Jason Ingram / Brandon Heath)
Hold on
Is this really the life I am living?
Cause I don't feel like I deserve it
Every day that I wake and every breath that I take you've given
Right here, right now
While the sun is shining down
I wanna live like there's no tomorrow
Love like I'm on borrowed time
It's good to be alive
Hold on
If the life that we've been given
Is made beautiful in the living
And the joy that I get brings joy to the heart of the giver
Then right here, right now
This is the song I'm singing out
I wanna live like there's no tomorrow
Love like I'm on borrowed time
It's good to be alive
I won't take it for granted
I won't waste another second
All I want is to give you
A life well lived to say, "thank you"
Hmmmm, everybody must be at lunch. Over half an hour since this song was posted and no comments, yet. Okay, I'll go ahead and do that. I really like the video you posted with this song. Thank you for giving us a glimpse into your life, both the good stuff and the not so good stuff. With all the blessings God gives to each of us, why shouldn't we go all out as we live our lives. Too often we get bogged down in the negative or the things we don't have. Thank you for the reminder.
J-Gray, I like the song, and it was great in the video to see more of your life outside of camp! Hoping to be at your concert in Ottumwa in October.
Love it!
D'oh! I bought a CD, hope it pays for a part of that speeding ticket. 🙂 I know what you mean about hitting the gas when you get passionate about something. I'll be driving 2 hours to see you (and Aaron and Downhere) next month, hope I don't get a ticket because of my excitement.
Great song! I'm off to the Rabbit Room to purchase the album. Hope that helps with the ticket!
If I weren't saving my allotment of exclamation marks and capital letters for "Nothing Is Wasted" I'd probably say more emphatically (at least online) how well-executed and well-written I think this record is. And for my part, I tend to be ambivalent at best about "straight-up pop" songs as well, but I think this song sounds great, like it was very well put-together. So thanks and congratulations to you, Jason, and everybody else who was responsible for that.
Ha! Yes, I was at lunch, just got back – am grateful to be hearing from everybody. Thanks for listening and sharing your thoughts.
I love it!! Makes me smile. Thanks!
Deep deep down, we all love pop songs, right?
Second radio single. I'm calling it now. (or requesting it =))
And the winner is… Jen Rose! You're right, it is indeed the next single 🙂 Hopefully after we persuade WPOZ to play Remind Me Who I Am, first (will last week's KLOVE add help I hope? 😉
Love the video! Love the song! I have the CD for almost a week and this one I can imagine us playing on J103! 🙂 I definitely think it is radio worthy! I wasn't surprised to see co-writers are Jason Ingram and Brandon Heath…has their "feel"…if that makes sense.
Love this, Jason! Especially since I live down the road from Nowhere, somewhere north of A Place Called Hope 😉 (Owatonna)
Me and the kiddos listened to this song on the way home from swim today and so I googled it when we got home to share with friends on FB. I was pleased that we found this snippet into a day in the life of you : ) Thank You for sharing, we love your music!
Is this really a pop song? I guess maybe it is but that's not how I hear it. I lived the first half of my life seeking death and contemplating suicide. Praise God, He healed me and I am now walking free and am so incredibly thankful to be alive. For me this song speaks to this new place I'm in and expresses where I'm at today – heartfelt thanks, hope and at-long-last… joy. :) Thank you.
Love the song!! Have rhuematoid arthritis and it has come out of remission to the "severe" stage – this song really reminds me of the life God intends us to live. Thanks!!

In Focus
The first week of daylight-saving time combined with the NCAA basketball final to send viewing levels for access and early-fringe syndicated shows plummeting during the week ended April 10, according to the Nielsen national barter rankings used by advertisers.
HUT (households using television) levels dropped 2.829 million homes from the previous week, a 7% decline that is typical when the clocks spring ahead. Traditionally, those viewers return when the clocks fall back.
The college hoops tourney championship game on April 4 also proved to be a ratings drag, especially for afternoon and early-evening shows.
Among the top off-net sitcoms, both Everyone Loves Raymond and Friends hit season lows. Raymond was down 13% from the prior week to a 5.9 rating, according to Nielsen Media Research, but jumped 18% from the year-ago week, thanks to its access run this season on TBS. Friends (4.9) dipped 6% week-to-week and 9% year-to-year. Seinfeld was down 2% compared with the prior week and year, landing at a 5.5.
Game and magazine shows also suffered, as did daytime shows, but the decline was not as dramatic for them.
Daytime queen Oprah Winfrey took the biggest hit, with her show in reruns two of the days, and coming off the previous week's highly rated double whammy of Lisa Marie Presley appearing alone one day and with her mom, Priscilla, the following day. Oprah dropped 12% to a 6.4. Nevertheless, it was up by double digits year-to-year.

PROJECT: 2018 Unseen
When I'm not working on commissions or personal projects, I like to get out and take photographs, well, just for the sake of it. However, these images don't necessarily 'sit' anywhere (not quite right for Instagram/Facebook and don't really suit my portfolio) so I never share them. So I have decided to do an 'Unseen' portfolio, where I can share some of my favourite images.
Updated Monthly.

natural skin for spring
a springtime skincare refresh
featuring my current clean green favs
Springtime seems like the best time to really rethink what we're doing to our skin. Winter left mine feeling dry and depleted, and once spring finally showed up it was like letting out a giant sigh of relief. It gives me a whole new rush of energy to really listen to my skin, and give it what it needs. My biggest resolution this year was to finally clear out any and all skincare products that aren't organic, as I still had a few lingering in the wings after I switched over to a Juice Beauty regimen during a serious bout of break outs (their blemish clearing solutions kit kept me from having a full on break-down last year). Even though I was about 80% of the way there in my skincare routine, I still felt susceptible to being sucked in by dewy make-up ads and product claims, when in reality, I knew I could 100% achieve that with organic skincare and organic makeup.
If you're feeling hesitant to take the leap into green beauty- I totally get it. It's why it took me the better part of a year to fully commit, as I found myself doing it product by product. When one would run out, I looked for a green alternative that sounded interesting or similar. The fact that accessibility for green beauty has made leaps and bounds also makes the process a whole lot easier. I've been seeing organic options at Target, and pharmacies for a while now, and almost everything in my current regimen is available at Whole Foods.
My skin is really dry by default, meaning winter always does a number on it. My current products, especially ACURE's Brightening Facial Serum has my skin feeling hydrated and glowier than ever. My daily routine has always been simple, but now I find myself grabbing for makeup less and less often. I don't know if it can much simpler than that! Sailor by Captain Blankenship is a newer discovery of mine, this line is specific to Target and has some really amazing smelling products. The Sea Mist Refreshing Toner pictured is my favorite toner ever. If you really love Thayer's Witch Hazel (which I do), this might be worth a try. It's great when used as a toner but I also use it as a little midday pick-me-up for dull skin.
Apart from switching up my routine, the big change I made that likely impacted my skin the most recently, is I had my nexplanon implant removed. I loved it at first, but the side effects proved to be intense. I gave it a full year, but the minuses began to outweigh the pluses, and once I saw my skin clear up significantly, I knew that it was the right move. I'm definitely still prone to hormonal break-outs on my chin and jawline, but far less than before.
After my skin initially improved from the blemish regimen last summer into fall, and a birth-control switch, I started to feel comfortable and excited to try out some more new-to-me products. Juice Beauty is definitely still my ride or die for everyday cleansing, especially after trying their new Brightening Solutions Kit. I listed the rest of what I'm loving lately below, particularly my new Rose Quartz Facial Roller, which promotes youth + healing, but also just feels amazing on your skin. Talk about self-care! It feels sooooo amazing, you'll be hooked after the first use.
*Side Note: I'm collaborating with Captain Blankenship on a full post, featuring a full round up of their products! Also, organic makeup is coming atcha soon !

Fashion: Body Heat in beautiful lingerie
When was the last time you went out and treated yourself to a beautiful lingerie set? If the answer is last week, then I salute you.
But did you get fitted again, too?
Our bodies change constantly; tissue softens or gets toned, we go up, we go down, and most of the time we expect our bras to keep up in doing a good job.
Let me remind you that bras, like trainers, apparently are of little support after six months' wear. Think of that the next time you jog in an old sports bra.
I spoke to Roslyn Ellis, group buyer for lingerie, swimwear and hosiery at Brown Thomas, who explained to me that she now buys a whopping 78 different sizes in bras (from 28AA to 40JJ).
"When I hear someone saying, 'The first thing I do when I get home is take off my bra' - I know they are not wearing the right size or the right shape," Roslyn says. "You should actually forget what bra you are wearing. I am standing here now and I have to think what am I wearing . . . it's Simone Perele. That is what a good fit should feel like - it is about comfort."
Another miracle of the correctly sized bra, apart from comfort, is that it can take stones off your appearance.
At this time of year, our lingerie sensibilities favour the rich berry and jewel tones of winter, luxurious gold and mysterious black. In Brown Thomas, ranges from Maison Lejaby Elixir, Calvin Klein and Heidi Klum Intimates, to L'Agent by Agent Provocateur, Myla, and Stella McCartney Lingerie, are deeply sumptuous in colour and shape. Briefs are back, as are suspender belts, while the bralet (a bra without wire or padding) is growing in favour.
"Some girls are wearing them to sleep in, to get that bit of support," Roslyn explains.
After bras, control wear is uppermost in women's minds. Control wear is no longer a case of an all-over squishing of our body - thus losing our luscious shape - to get a smooth finish. Rather, it is about selecting garments, or hosiery, with control in the areas you want it.
"It is about embracing your own natural body shape," Roslyn explains. "It is about deliberate control in areas where you want it."
The trend I am most excited about in the Brown Thomas lingerie department is their rediscovery of boudoir dressing.
Think playful, feather-trimmed, silk babydolls and wraps by the evocative Gilda & Pearl; modernist, silk-satin pyjamas by Olivia von Halle, and Yolke; or the most demure of nightgowns in the finest white voile (which I have been told can be even more erotic to a lover than silk and lace) co-designed by actress Robin Wright and Karen Fowler under the label Pour les Femmes, which generates work and support for women in developing regions around the world.
Yet another good reason to buy good lingerie - as if we need one.
All lingerie and accessories are available from Brown Thomas, 88-95 Grafton St, D2, tel: (01) 605-6666, and online, see brownthomas.com

There's nothing like curling up on the couch with a snack in hand and watching your favorite shows or movies on Netflix. With 4,010 movies it can be kind of hard finding that one perfect movie to watch especially when you don't know where to begin looking. To make things a little easier, here are the top 10 best movies on Netflix to help get you started.
The first movie on the list is called Wind River. This movie is about a U.S. Wildlife Tracker, played by Jeremy Renner, and a FBI agent, played by Elizabeth Olsen, that come together to solve a mystery surrounding a dead body found in the middle of nowhere. The thriller is set in the Wyoming territory during the winter.
The second best movie on the list is Founder. This film tells the story of how the McDonalds restaurant franchise we know and love today was born. Ray Kroc was a struggling salesman, played by Michael Keaton, until he met the two McDonald brothers. Dick McDonald, played by Nick Offerman, and Mac McDonald, played by John Carroll Lynch, were already running their own hamburger restaurant in southern California when they met Kroc. Kroc saw great potential in the work the brothers were doing and managed to turn it into a national franchise.
The third movie is called Don't Think Twice. This fun and heartbreaking film, featuring Keegan Michael-Key, Mike Birbiglia, and Gillian Jacobs, tells the story of a group of actors in New York who struggle to continue after one of their members leaves to do a Saturday Night Live-type of sketch show.
The fourth movie on this list is from Norway and is a disaster film called The Wave. The film finds a small Norwegian coastal town at the mercy of a 250 foot tsunami racing towards it, unbeknownst to the residents. A geologist, played by Kristoffer Joner, only has 10 minutes to warn and evacuate the town before the tsunami strikes.
The fifth movie on this list is called Boyhood and follows the life of a young and his family from the age of 6 to 18 years old.
The sixth movie, Locke, takes place in a car belonging to Ivan Locke, who is played by Tom Hardy, as he races to be present for the birth of his child who is the result of an affair with a colleague.
The seventh movie, The Lobster, follows a single man, played by Colin Farrell, who must find a life partner before 45 days are up. The reason? So he won't be turned in to an animal of his choosing.
The eighth movie on the list is full of both adventure and mystery. National Treasure follows a famous historian and code breaker named Ben Gates, played by Nicholas Cage, as he searches for a treasure. By finding a clue on a colonial ship and a map found on the back of the Declaration of Independence, Gates must use these clues to find the hidden treasure.
The ninth movie takes place in a time where quiz shows dominated on television. The movie is called Quiz Show and is based on a true story. The movie follows a former contestant named Herbert Stempel, played by John Turturro, as he sues the quiz show for cheating.
The last movie on this list of top 10 movies on Netflix is The Godfather. Based on Mario Puzo's novel, the movie follows Don Vito Corleone's son, played by Al Pacino, when he decides to join the mafia.Share:
