Daddy **** For A Visit.As I wake I am aware of two things. One I am use to one I am not. I wear diapers at night for bed wetting and the occasion poopy in the middle of the night. So waking up to a wet is normal for me. Rarely am I dry in the morning. But on this particular morning not am I only wet but a feel a firm hand on my wet diapered bottom. As I roll over to my side from my tummy. I open my eyes to see daddy patting my bottom. ~Good morning baby boi...is my toddler wet?~ I look up at him grinning. ~Yes dada baby is very wet.~ As I begin to rise he pushes me back down. ~Stay there sweety daddy needs to change your diaper~ So I lay back down. Daddy goes and gets the needed supplies to change my diaper then returns. When he returns he grabs my paci off the night stand and puts in my mouth. I begin to suck on it happily. Then daddy looks at the front of my diaper and how wet I am. ~My my...you are a pissy little boi aren't you?~ Looking a little bashful I just grin and nod my head. ~Yes dada...baby can't help going pee pee in his diapee~ He looks down at me smiling. ~Did my boi make poopies in his diapee wipee?~ Shaking my head...~No dada me no poopy yet~ He reaches down feeling the wetness of my pissy wet night diaper. Rubbing the front gently. He knows how much I like to be played with while I am wet. As he rubs my diapered pee pee I look up at him seeing a very nice bulge in his pants. With a look of pure excitement and a yearning need for that bulge. ~Daddy can I have your special bottle baby is very hungry?~ Daddy stops for a moment leaving me in my wet diaper and pulls out his very special very hard large bottle for me to have. Seeing how it is very full and ready to be sucked on for all of daddies special cream. I greedily take it in my mouth and begin to lovingly lick every inch. ~My my baby is hungry~ As I lick and suck and play with daddy...my pee pee starts to get very hard. I suck daddies special baba for several minutes and I get the first of his special cream...as daddy moans and hot *** feels my mouth. I look up at him smiling down at me contently. Daddy pulls his pants off the rest of the way so he is just standing there in his shirt and socks. ~Now lets get your wet diapee changed baby boi~ I contently lay back with a nice full tummy...very happy. At this point I am just expecting daddy to change my diaper like normal. And start my day. Well daddy has other plans.
He reaches down and starts to undo my diaper. Taking some baby wipes he cleans my diaper area and my very hard pee pee. Moaning a bit as he is cleaning me up. He grins at me. ~Now how can I re-diaper you when your baby pee pee is standing straight up like that?~ Daddy tells me to raise my bottom so he can put a fresh dry diaper under me. So I do as I am told and raise my naked little bottom up so daddy can do what he needs. As I come back to rest on the nice soft diaper daddy grabs some slickery stuff from the night stand. ~What is that for daddy?~ I ask. Watching as he pours a little on his still very hard **** and some on his finger. ~Since baby has not made poopies yet...daddy is going to have to give his boi a nice *** enema~ I think to myself how good this will be. I love to have daddy give me *** enemas. He begins by gently rubbing my bottom and slowly places his finger in my boi ***** and gets me ready for his very large **** to come. Daddy is very well endowed. 9 inches and about 2 1/2 inch thick. As he fingers my hole I moan with anticipation for what is next. Slowly dada leans in closer placing the head of his **** next to my eagerly awaiting boi *****...by this time am so close to ******* all over the place...and have not even touched my pee pee. I feel the head of his **** enter me and I lose it and squirt cummies all over daddy. He just laughs. ~Did baby make pee pees?~ Then he thrust hard into me the full length of his shaft penetrating me forcefully. I am in pure full on heat for his **** at this time. All I want is for him to **** me hard and fill me with his ***. Time and again he thrust deep in me then slows and then speeds up again. ten minutes goes by the twenty...then an hour. I feel his **** getting harder. And the time to get what I want is fast approaching. I grind my hips...matching his thrust...and the pleasure of his release sends me over again. As we both ***. I feel his *** feeling me up. He is still inside me as he gets soft. We lay there for few moments looking into each others eyes. Then I feel the warm rush. Grinning dada looks at me. ~This is why you needed a fresh diaper under you~ As daddy releases his bladder in to my very well worn *** filled boi ***** and it dribbles in to my waiting diaper under me. I sigh with contentment. ~Daddy have to go pee pee...giggles~ As the pee and *** leak from me daddy pulls out. Straddling me he places his bottom over my diaper. ~What you doing dada?~ Then I realize what he intends on doing. I hear the sound of a rather huge poopy coming out of daddy and being deposited in my waiting dada pee and *** filled diaper. ~I have been saving that just for you baby boi~ After daddy is done he fastens my diaper in place and pulls out a plastic pair of pants and places them over my diaper. Patting me on the bottom he tells me to go play while he takes a shower. As he heads for the shower I reach down feeling the extra large poopy mess in my diaper. Me likes....
I grab a shirt and go out to have a smoke. Sitting in the back yard in just a diaper and t-shirt. My tummy grumbles...Grinning to myself knowing what is next I feel the poopies coming. As I fill my diaper in the back...already being full of dada poopies...btw it is extremely hot having daddy fill my diaper....the best feeling...I begin to wet the front as the flow subsides I finish my smoke and head in side to write this.
At the moment I am down stairs in my very well used diaper writing this. Daddy is coming down the stairs in just a towel...with a yummy looking bulge...My hope is that it is time to feed the baby again. Write more soon.
Daddy stands in front of me and drops his towel revealing a most handsome hard ****...my mouth is watering...yes I want more of his yummy creaming *** in my tummy. Never can get enough. I take him in my mouth the entire length. As I suck him for all his yummy ***. I ask if a may play with my hard pee pee in my poopy wet diapee? He says yes yu may baby boi. So as I enjoy sucking his **** my hand goes into my wet diaper...finding me very hard and poopies all around my balls and pee pee I begin to play. I can feel he is ready to *** again so I start to finger daddies hole with one hand and play with my pee pee with the other. Just as he **** in my mouth I begin to *** in my diaper...I fall back exhausted and very content.
This is not a normal day for me. Most of the time Daddy D just changes me and some times we play. But today was a first. and hope not the last.
I hope you enjoy.
Please feel free to comment.
And enjoy reading in a wet poopy diaper...maybe even enjoy a nice cummie diapee.

I was flipping through google news while waiting for a friend, and I came across the irresistible heading "'Sexting' is more common than you might think." The superfluous "might" did not apply to me, as I've always assumed this behavior is ubiquitous, but I read it anyway. It was the usual rigmarole about how shocking it might be that kids well into puberty are experimenting with sexual communication. One of the related articles brought up the statistic that "Those who have been the victim of digital abuse are more likely to be sexually active or to have engaged in 'risky' behavior, such as stealing, using illegal drugs, drinking alcohol or smoking."
The conflation of sex, drugs, alcohol, stealing, and sending dirty pictures, is of course the closing argument for denying puritans the right to publish, and just in general for keeping statistics out of the hands of people who exploit the general public's inability to distinguish between correlation and causation. The perfunctory "or" and the quotes around "risky" do not excuse the author's phrasing.
But after my standard gut reaction,1[1] I read a marginally better article that focussed on suicides supposedly motivated by having naked pictures of themselves forwarded to their friends and not-so-friends. The first, worse article, reported "12 percent of those who engaged in sexting activity have contemplated suicide." Considering psychiatryonline.org reports puts the general average of teens contemplating suicide at 19 percent, these kids are doing pretty well. I'm curious how these studies phrase their inquiries; technically, I'm contemplating suicide right now, and have many times in the past, without the vaguest inclination to actually do it. Also, two suicides resulting from some pandemic form of digital abuse or public humiliation sort of makes me want to get up and applaud what is obviously the safest risky behavior in town. These are outliers, like most sensationalized suicides.
Though these articles are bright shining examples of how to distort an issue without actually saying anything false, they put me in mind of the many emails we receive at work, sent by people who scream at us by not protecting the pictures of themselves they put online to attract mates. Since most people have Windows PCs, and most Windows PC keyboards have a "Print Screen" button, it's tempting to scream at these people for being idiots for using a service designed to let people post pictures for a global audience, for free, and then getting upset that somebody saw it and was able to do copy it because it's a piece of digital information and the immense ease of replicating digital information is a legacy issue that arose from the fact that THAT'S WHY WE INVENTED THE TECHNOLOGY IN THE FIRST PLACE you fucking idiot.
In my younger days, I didn't know the difference between "reply" and "reply all", and that resulted in me sending my social security number to 500 strangers, several people who didn't like me, and at least one person who liked me way too much. Older and wiser, I now know that this was a particularly bad example of the standard "reply all fail", and it is very important to check who is included in the send-to box of any email. The point is that people don't recognize how quickly and destructively their information can be made available to millions of people by accident, to say nothing of a motivated adversary.
This kind of technological ignorance, that is thankfully waning from the first world public, is not their primary problem. It's their inability to grasp that the heavily advertised "connectivity and sharing" is exactly the same thing as the much feared "vulnerability and exposure" that results from information being an increasingly communal commodity. This misunderstanding of how information works and travels is shamelessly hijacked by those trying to convince us that all sex is a form of abuse by writing articles about how blooming sexuality leads to humiliation and death. The irony is how the people writing these articles seem unaware that the libido is not going away, and the constant juxtaposition of abuse and death with sex is just laying the psychological groundwork for that really twisted porn that makes normal people not want to have sex. On second thought, maybe it's not ironic at all, but I'd still rather dispense with both snuff films and the Christian Right.
I have a huge advantage in this world, which was the advice my dad gave me when I was ten years old. It was "Don't do anything you don't want on the front page of the newspaper the next morning." I freely admit that I interpreted that advice to mean stay under the radar and dispense with shame, but regardless of the moral implications of my decisions, they led to the gut instincts that prevent me from publicly screwing myself in the modern world of front pages for everyone.
Regardless of your level of shame or what you're willing to admit to, don't make a digital copy of anything you don't want to go public, or at least don't send it to anyone, or at the very least, be prepared to deal with it when the person you sent it to sends it to your teacher, your spouse, and your mother. That's it. I'm prepared to deal with every recorded piece of information about me being made public. You should be too, and that's what you should be teaching your kids, not telling them, and certainly not believing, that "sexting" leads to drug use and suicide.
1 Namely, "deal."

Death by starvation is no picnic. Without a regular supply of food, your body literally starts to eat its muscles from the inside out. In fact, the most common trigger of death in a starving person is heart failure, because your heart–a muscle–becomes too eaten away and weak to continue beating.
But even in an extreme zombie survival situation, food isn't just about nutrition.
Ideally, what you eat should taste good and help to improve morale by combating the urge to fall into a death-spiral of despair. The best-fed person in the world still isn't immune to making a fatal mistake because the mind's not right. So of all the choices for zombie survival food out there, which are the best tasting?
Daniel Violette is President of Zombie Research Society's Riverside, California Chapter. Over the years he's conducted an informal taste test of portable food options, and to him there is one standout:
"Moutain House has some great stuff. The lasagna meal tastes better than hamburger helper, and I was raised on that. For my survival kit it's the clear choice. "
Based in Oregon, Mountain House produces freeze dried foods for long term storage, emergency preparedness and recreational activities like camping, hiking, backpacking, and hunting any undead ghouls wandering the countryside.
What are some other good choices for nutritious, portable, and great tasting zombie survival food?

Vienna Bronze Plaque, ca. 1910
It's a second-generation inheritance from my stepfather's mother, who came to this country and was employed as a domestic for some of the wealthy families in Duluth, Minnesota, during the 1920s. And this was given to her as a token of years of faithful work for them.
Well, it's something that's really quite unusual. As a matter of fact, I've never seen a relief like this. I have seen work by this factory. This was made in Austria. This is called a "Vienna bronze," and it was a studio that made bronzes starting in the late part of the 19th century, and it continued into the early 20th century. They were what we call cold-painted. Most bronzes have a patina that's put on them with various acids and chemicals and heats, and the patina is incorporated into the surface of the piece. This, on the other hand, is decorated with oil paints. And most of the work that was done by the Vienna bronze company were small figures-- dogs and cats-- but they also did a lot of Middle Eastern subjects. In the 19th century, the Middle East was very popular, especially among painters and sculptors. It was seen as a very romantic and exotic place. What's really extraordinary is the number of figures that are here. Wonderful details, brightly painted, in this great architectural setting where you get a real feeling for the depth. So even though the depth of this might only be an inch or so, it seems like it really goes back into space. This is really an extraordinary tour de force of the work of the Vienna bronze works. I would put an auction estimate between $6,000 and $8,000.
My goodness! You're kidding. Wow.
Yeah, very rare. Very desirable.
Well, that's impressive.
Appraisal Details
Executive producer Marsha Bemko shares her tips for getting the most out of ANTIQUES ROADSHOW.
Value can change: The value of an item is dependent upon many things, including the condition of the object itself, trends in the market for that kind of object, and the location where the item will be sold. These are just some of the reasons why the answer to the question "What's it worth?" is so often "It depends."
Note the date: Take note of the date the appraisal was recorded. This information appears in the upper left corner of the page, with the label "Appraised On." Values change over time according to market forces, so the current value of the item could be higher, lower, or the same as when our expert first appraised it.
Context is key: Listen carefully. Most of our experts will give appraisal values in context. For example, you'll often hear them say what an item is worth "at auction," or "retail," or "for insurance purposes" (replacement value). Retail prices are different from wholesale prices. Often an auctioneer will talk about what she knows best: the auction market. A shop owner will usually talk about what he knows best: the retail price he'd place on the object in his shop. And though there are no hard and fast rules, an object's auction price can often be half its retail value; yet for other objects, an auction price could be higher than retail. As a rule, however, retail and insurance/replacement values are about the same.
Verbal approximations: The values given by the experts on ANTIQUES ROADSHOW are considered "verbal approximations of value." Technically, an "appraisal" is a legal document, generally for insurance purposes, written by a qualified expert and paid for by the owner of the item. An appraisal usually involves an extensive amount of research to establish authenticity, provenance, composition, method of construction, and other important attributes of a particular object.
Opinion of value: As with all appraisals, the verbal approximations of value given at ROADSHOW events are our experts' opinions formed from their knowledge of antiques and collectibles, market trends, and other factors. Although our valuations are based on research and experience, opinions can, and sometimes do, vary among experts.
Appraiser affiliations: Finally, the affiliation of the appraiser may have changed since the appraisal was recorded. To see current contact information for an appraiser in the ROADSHOW Archive, click on the link below the appraiser's picture. Our Appraiser Index also contains a complete list of active ROADSHOW appraisers and their contact details and biographies.

When you first met your boyfriend, you thought, "he/this can't be real." And then you found his website, and you were like "OK, he/this DEFINITELY ISN'T real, but he/this is still MINE." And ever since then you've been dating him (marriage is for wimps and fags, he is constantly reminding you) and definitely sleeping in the same bed with him. You guys share almost everything except for affection, common courtesy, basic decency, respect, and tanning secrets. No matter how many times you ask, he will not give up his precious tanning secrets!
Your boyfriend's TV commercial (TV COMMERCIAL!) after the jump.
The thing is, it's the law of the jungle. If you look at any type of animal–and humans ARE animals after all–you'll see that the dominating alpha males of the species have bought a mail-order course in how to be alpha males. One of the defining characteristics of an alpha male, actually, is his need for instruction on how to be selfish and overbearing, and his love of cassette-based systems.
Oh, and I'm not trying to make you jealous or uncomfortable, but I am DEFINITELY following your boyfriend on Twitter. (Thanks for the tip, Emma.)


text: guys >> maybe then we should create something like a plugin (or extension) for openstreetmaps, so we can append many kinds of meta-data (such as radar positions, gsm coverage, whatsoever) to existing maps... kinda points of interest (?) :) is there software out there that takes incomplete/overlapping/conflicting signal strength samples and makes a best-guess effort at locating the source? it should work for cell, wifi, whatever. the estimate would have to be pretty fuzzy if the samples are very incomplete. eg, samples taken in following a straight path would give you two candidate solutions for the location. in any case, it seems the best place to run software like this is on a server that has collected data from as many sources as it can get. -- Brad

Tendai Rupapa Senior Court Reporter
A senior employee with the Zimbabwe Catholic Bishop's Conference (ZCBC) allegedly connived with two other workmates and swindled their employer of more than US$500 000 which was meant for the vulnerable and needy communities. Cornelius Hamadziripi (49) was employed as the national director in CARITAS Zimbabwe national office and his duties included overseeing the smooth running of the department.
CARITAS is a department maintained by Catholic churches worldwide and its mandate is to provide humanitarian aid to vulnerable and needy communities using donor funds.
Hamadziripi yesterday appeared in court before magistrate Mr Tendai Mahwe charged with fraud and was remanded to August 15 on US$200 bail with the State's consent.
As part of his bail conditions, Hamadziripi was ordered to surrender his passport, to report once a week to the police and not to interfere with investigations and witnesses.
His accomplices Dadirai Nyamashuka and Wonder Mufunda are still at large.
Prosecutor Miss Sharon Mashavira alleged that sometime in 2009, Hamadziripi, Nyamashuka and Mufunda awarded themselves advance salaries.
Pursuant to their plan, it is alleged that during the period between January 5, 2009 and February 7 this year, they paid themselves a total of US$132 562 in advance salaries.
They did not pay back the money as per the company's policy and instead they wrote off the debt.
During the same period, the trio withdrew a total of US$156 013 from the company's Stanbic Bank account purportedly to boost the petty cash account, but instead they converted it to their own use, the court heard.
Again sometime last year, the trio received US$30 400 from an overseas donor meant to assist victims of politically-motivated violence.
According to the State, there were no claims warranting the release of the funds and their employer directed them to transfer the whole amount back to the donor, but Hamadziripi only remitted US$4 999 and failed to account for the balance.
ZCBC engaged auditors and it was revealed that the trio manipulated the whole system on movement of funds from donors to the beneficiaries.
They allegedly created fictitious claims, resulting in the complainant being prejudiced of US$562 869.

Who is the fairest of them all?
Well, certainley not me, i can be not nice sometimes.
I always do a fair amount of self reflection, and a lot of it actually comes from my daily interaction with people i meet, and on this site also.
So, when i have a problem with someone, my inital reaction is to defend myself, cos that is what we do.
But then i go away and think about my actions, and if they were justified or not.
My ego will say my actions were justified, my inner voice will say something different.
We re-act, what we have been taught to do, when we just act, we pretend, when we are real, we are coming from a place of honesty.
Honesty, can sometimes be hurtful sometimes needed, sometimes crucial, when it comes to us, never wanted.
We never really want to face ourselves, our actions or flaws, our misdeeds, we mostly put it onto other people, as not to face it, or own up to it, cos if we did, then we would have to deal with it, this is something iam currently dealing with myself, its not easy.
One day, when i look in the mirror, and ask this question, it wont just laugh at me and go:
hahaha, what?
I dont think so!!!
One day, it will reply,
Kelly-Ann, your fine just the way you are!
I think this is something we are all striving for in one way or another.
To be able to face ourselves head on, and be happy with all we do, and what we see in our reflection.
Any thoughts?
Views: 421
pretty much the same as you do ... lol ....
yes. . . . they do.
dear Kelly-Ann...nice post :)
We, women are extraordinary reactive beings ;) sometimes i "hate" it lol, but as you said...if we are facing our reflection with love, then it is just like a blessing...we can learn so much about ourselves through our reactions.
Reactive (feminine) or proactive (masculine) are holy universal principles, ...I dont actually fight my reactions, i try to understand them and keep them balanced. Yes, they do come from ego, but they also help to process the ego, if we do it consciously.
Much love!
This is really good. LIsten to your inner voice and not your ego. How wonderful is that to share this as we are a mirror. Be the best you can be. Each day is a new day to be even better. You attract others of the same energy. Think of this, and will always be your best as that is what you will get in return.
be yourself and love that mirror that shows you as you are!
Its a unique mirror there isnt one like it, lol
Kelly Ann,
No it is not easy. Some are on different roads, trying to reach the same place. The path we take is not as important. The journey is the real goal. From it, we learn so much. Contimue your journey and blessings to you.
Kelly, you have such a gift... keep utilizing it :) :) :)
Wonderful post. Be who you are and all will be right. I have faith in you, I have faith in me. I have faith we will all find our way when the time is right for each of us.
Kelly Ann - you may not always be nice but you always think through things with clear logic, unlike some of the other so called lightworkers who live in fairytale land. And you are HONEST. I guess that's why the truth hurts sometimes because some people on ACC are simply not honest with themselves so they hide behind an illusion. I really admire that about you!!

The Solution
We have the tools available to defeat the most common neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), and we can do it in our lifetime. Unlike many other global health problems we face today, the solution is relatively simple.
"This innovative approach must serve as a model for solving other global development challenges and will help millions of people build self-sufficiency and overcome the need for aid."
— Bill Gates in the London Declaration Press Release
Treatment through Mass Drug Administration
The Global Network for Neglected Tropical Diseases supports an integrated treatment approach, sometimes known as a rapid-impact package, in which people are treated for soil-transmitted helminths and four other NTDs through a combination of up to four drugs. This approach is inexpensive, cost effective and safe. It can be easily implemented and helps streamline NTD control efforts.
Administration of the medicines is done through mass drug administration (MDA) that reaches entire at-risk communities in order to treat, control and eliminate these diseases. Because people at risk of NTD infection do not need to be diagnosed by a health care worker, teachers or community volunteers can carry out the MDA themselves. MDA can also be carried out in rural areas without health clinics or hospitals. MDA need to be conducted annually until an area is free of the disease. Armed with four drugs donated by pharmaceutical companies, major treatment efforts can control or eliminate the most common NTDs over time.
Pharmaceutical Industry Partnerships
The high level of commitment received from many international partners is a major strength in the fight against NTDs. In recent decades, the pharmaceutical industry has achieved an impressive track record of partnering with non-governmental organizations on large-scale treatment campaigns for diseases of poverty, pledging to donate $16.7 billion in drugs through 2020. More than $11.1 billion worth of donated medicines have already been distributed through USAID's NTD Program alone.
The pill donations represent the largest drug donations in history, and pharmaceutical companies have continued to increase their commitments.
This long-term commitment to NTD control and elimination by the pharmaceutical industry has reduced programmatic costs so that pills can be distributed annually for less than 50 cents per person, a best buy in public health.
Community Involvement
Around the world, public-private partners work with local governments, schools, healthcare systems and organizations to deliver medicines to those suffering from NTDs. Some of the most effective delivery solutions come through community-led efforts, particularly community health workers.
Sustainability is critical in the ongoing fight against NTDs, so endemic countries must be invested in their NTD programs.
A Better Future for Burundi
See how volunteers, health care workers, NGO partners and the government of Myanmar came together to treat more than one million children for NTDs.

Firefighters remained on the scene after the fire had been put out due to the large amount of smoke coming from under the vehicles and tyres.
Horses that were in the field next to the fire were led to safety.

Howtoincreasetwittersfollowers.org buy twitter As musicians continue to react to the debut of Caitlyn Jenner, some have been more accepting of the transition than others. buy 1000 twitter retweets Lady Gaga, Sam Smith & More React to Caitlyn Jenner's 'Vanity Fair' Cover For some reason, Drake Bell decided to share his less-than-enthused take on the day's big news, tweeting "Sorry....still calling you Bruce." He deleted the tweet shortly thereafter, which we have screen-grabbed below. Shortly after deleting the above tweet, Bell sent a follow-up to assure people he wasn't insulting Caitlyn Jenner. Bell did, however, continue to refer to Caitlyn as "he" while speaking of Jenner in the present tense.I'm not dissing him! I just don't want to forget his legacy! He is the greatest athlete of all time! Chill out! In just a few hours, Caitlyn Jenner has received plenty of support from fans and celebrities alike after making her big reveal in Vanity Fair. In fact, she already gained more than one million followers on Twitter. Yes, that's faster than President Barack Obama's previous record.(With the release of her cover on June 1, Caitlyn has chosen to publicly identify as a woman and E! News will refer to her using female pronouns. In stories published prior to this date, Caitlyn was referred to as Bruce and male pronouns were used.)Unfortunately, a few people including Drake Bell are not being supportive on social media."Sorry…still calling you Bruce," the former Nickelodeon star tweeted Monday afternoon before deleting the transphobic remark 40 minutes later. He later added, "That's bravery."Followers, however, were quick to sound off and try their best to educate the actor and singer on his transphobic words. Oh yah, and some people weren't nice in the process.
While Drake continues his vacation at the "North Shore," many fans are eagerly waiting for some type of an apology. He attempted to clarify his remarks by writing, buy active twitter retweets "I'm not dissing him! I just don't want to forget his legacy! He is the greatest athlete of all time! Chill out!"In the meantime, Caitlyn is focusing on all the positive that comes with being her true self. In fact, girls' nights are definitely on the agenda "where everybody is treating you the same way." "You can talk about outfits," she told Vanity Fair. "You can talk about hair and makeup, anything you want. It becomes not a big deal." Nobody messes with Caitlyn Jenner, 65, and gets away with it! Yep, we're talking about you, Drake Bell, 28. The former Drake & Josh star insensitively expressed his thoughts on Bruce's debut as a woman on the cover of Vanity Fair's July 2015 issue. You won't believe what Mr. Bell said in his June 1 social media post. Obvi, the legions of Caitlyn furious supporters shut him down on the spot. Read on to see Drake's mean tweet for Caitlyn — and how the KUWTK star's fans stuck up for her!So, here it is: "Sorry…still calling you Bruce," Drake wrote to his 3.21 million followers. Abominably, Drake thought it was appropriate to post this on the same day Bruce showed the world his "true self" — Caitlyn. No wonder Drake ended up pressing the delete button on this cringe-worthy upload! Enraged fans really let him have it. Scrolling though his newsfeed must have inspired Drake to try and take back his tone-deaf comment. "I'm not dissing him!" he claimed hours after his initial tweet. "I just don't want to forget his legacy! He is the greatest athlete of all time! Chill out!" Hmm, still kinda hard not to throw the 28-year-old just a little bit of side-eye, right?
We are officially declaring Drake Bell the biggest celebrity bully of all time. The 27-year-old Drake & Josh star has become obsessed with bashing 19-year-old Justin Bieber and his younger fans on Twitter.buy twitter retweets without following The feud has been going on since 2012 and just when the world thought Drake was done posting unprovoked insults toward Justin, he strikes again!

Do you think Drake needs to keep his opinions to himself? Sound off in the comments below! In 2012, Drake's Twitter account was hacked and rude messages directed toward Katy Perry were posted.I in no way meant to hurt or demean those going through a similar journey," Bell wrote. "Although my comments were made in innocence, I deeply regret the negative effect they've had on so many.The comment quickly generated backlash from many of his followers, and Bell attempted to clarify his original comments, writing: "That's bravery!

Chill outBell also tweeted, "That's bravery" and "Good thing social media has no effect on real life." Then, when he continued to be criticized he said, "I'm not dissing him!

(Literary Essentials: Short Fiction Masterpieces)
To the modern reader, the stories that make up the mythology and folklore of ancient cultures are largely supernatural. Whether the storytellers originally responsible for composing, adding to, and passing on these stories necessarily thought in terms of "natural" and "supernatural" is debatable, yet the existence of such classical works as Metamorphoses (c. 8 c.e.; English translation, 1867) by Ovid suggests that such a distinction eventually became clear. Ovid's stories in verse are based upon Latin mythology and deal with transformations—metamorphoses—of humans into plants and animals, a theme destined to become common in what came to be recognized as supernatural literature.
Much later collections in the same general vein include Alf layla wa-layla (fifteenth century; The Arabian Nights' Entertainments, 1706-1708). Drawn from much earlier sources in Persia and Arabia, this mammoth collection has been the inspiration for innumerable other works and was translated in its most complete English version (1885-1886) by explorer Sir Richard Francis Burton. Rivaling The Arabian Nights' Entertainments in scope and surpassing them in influence in the Western world are the tales that make up the cycle about the (perhaps) legendary King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table.
The stories, characters, and themes preserved in these and many other collections have proven to be a treasure trove for later writers, although science and rationalism have frequently consigned them to a kind of literary underground. Yet the emotions they deal with—from fear of death on one hand to religious ecstasy on the other—have continued to animate writers and readers alike. In mid-eighteenth century England such emotions would erupt in a most memorable way.

Arya winced as the screen pinged for the third time that day. Even though the system had been decommissioned, everything still worked. She just wasn't being paid to keep track of them anymore, or— heaven forbid— to actually do something about it.
She got herself a bowl of ice cream, flopped on the couch, then scanned the signals coming from Earth. There were a couple of recently released shows she'd been looking forward to, and she clicked them into the queue.
A double ping drew her attention to the small screen laying innocently on a couch cushion next to her. "Ni ta ma de. Tianxia suoyoude ren. Dou gaisi," she muttered under her breath.
Two? That makes five today. What the gorram hell are they doing? Using the beanstalk for target practice?
She forgot about her half eaten ice cream and walked over to the window. As a highly valued employee of Reus Corp, she had a spacious apartment in the rotating section of the null gee station. Her apartment was on the Earth side, where the planet and the space elevator, affectionately known as the beanstalk, were always in view.
She could barely make out the shimmer of the net that surrounded the beanstalk just above and below the station. Keeping flotsam and jetsam from hitting the beanstalk was a never-ending task. Although the ribbon was incredibly strong, it was vulnerable. Sure, the cleaning and maintenance bots would take care of any problems, but they had been down-sized as well.
She scanned the job list for her current position, the one she been reassigned to when collision avoidance had been deemed a luxury. Restructuring was one thing—the Reus Corp was very good at making money—but the list of tasks she saw was less and less a list of plans and was gradually becoming a list of excuses and a covering of tracks.
When Captain Jack was in charge, things would never have been allowed to deteriorate this way.
Arya turned her back to the window. She loved her apartment. She'd dreamed of living in space since she was a little girl.
But it was time to go. Reus corp might pay her to live her dream, but it was no longer a job she loved.
I wonder if Captain Jack is hiring?
This story was written for the Write On Edge prompt about collision. Since the International Space Elevator Consortium is having their big conference in Seattle this weekend, I decided it was about time to post my space elevator story Jack's Beanstalk. It's 3,000 words, and this little short is a prequel to it.

Cosmogenic He-3 data from surface sediments above old buried ice in Beacon Valley, AntarcticaEntry ID: 0338244
Abstract: The cosmogenic He-3 data set created during this project provides three major constraints:
*The cosmogenic 3He survey from Mullins Glaciers allows us to calculate for the first time paleo-flow rates of a glacier on the million year time scale. A simple calculation yields a paleo-flow rate of < a few mm y-1 over the last 4 My. This result is in striking agreement with the modern flow rates based ... on InSar data reported by Rignot et al (Rignot et al., 2002), indicating that Mullins Glacier flow velocity remained relatively constant over millions of years. The finding that a rather sensitive local rock glacier remained dynamically stable over millions of years can only be explained by very consistent climate conditions and the near absence of significant climate changes.
*The depth profile experiment of surface sediment overlying the old buried ice in Beacon Valley indicates (i) that there have been probably some geomorphic processes active in the upper layer of the sublimation tills reworking the simple deeper=older stratigraphy; (ii) the cobble survey from the polygon center shows high degree of variety in sublimation age and disintegration and weathering characteristics of individual boulders, that is not mirrored by different morphologic appearances of the surfaces (all look old).
* The cosmogenic He-3 chronology from Kennar Glacier is one of the best glacial chronologies ranging from 10,000 to 3,000,000 yr to date, yielding a pulse of small amplitude glaciations 17 ky 180 ky 218 ky 325 ky 595 ky 950 ky - ? 1560 ky 2900 ky.

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In The Sin-Eater's Confession, written by Ilsa J. Bick and published by Carolrhoda Lab™, an imprint of Lerner Publishing Group, young adult readers are introduced to Ben, a good kid whose single moments of inattention and cowardice turn his life upside down and places the guilt of a whole community on his shoulders.
Ben is a normal 17-year-old balancing school with volunteer work and applying for college. For reasons he can never quite articulate, he befriends Jimmy Egan, a boy two years younger. There's much more to Jimmy than meets the eye as Ben discovers when Jimmy wins a national photography competition—and Ben's in one of the winning pictures. The portrait leads people to draw some conclusions about Ben and Jimmy, and rumors fly.
Then Jimmy is murdered in what everyone is sure was a hate crime—and not only does Ben do nothing to stop it, he tells no one what he saw. Ben wrestles with his conscience and tries to stay one step ahead of the FBI, but how long can he withhold the truth?
The Sin-Eater's Confession gives a brutal look at what it means to be gay and a teenager in America.

Sprite's Keeper is going to BlogHer this weekend, and has given us all a vacation from The Spin Cycle this week. This has thrown me in a tizzy – my bloggy OCD demands that I have a Spin Cycle on Wednesday, dammit!! (And it's pretty much a given I'm so not going to be able to abide by the rules of a Wordless Wednesday post. Ahem.) So I thought I'd give you an idea of one of the things I do on Sundays.
Basically, bake bread (which is why I'm upset about my oven slowly going on the fritz – sometimes it heats right up, and sometimes it takes fooooooorrrrrreeeeeevveeerrr).
Interwebs, say hello to last Sunday's loaf of cheddar bread.
Except I won't be baking bread this weekend, because Sunday I'll be driving from Hocking Hills State Park to French Lick, Indiana <insert juvenile Beavis and Butthead impression here>. You see, we've decided to forgo our once-every-other-year Christmas vacation (the only real time we can get off from work) for the incredibly exciting activity of remodeling our bathrooms.
I know – don't we just live on the edge??
Anyhoo, so we decided I'd go with Beloved on his business trip to Indiana next week, and since we were going to be driving anyway, we'd take Friday of this week off and go rent a cabin down in Hocking Hills for a nice, long weekend. This cabin is really a small home in a secluded, wooded area, with a hot tub and no cell phone reception. Woo-hoo!
Hmmm. Some people have taken Jen's Spin Cycle "vacation" literally and posted anyway.
Well, me too. Me too.
Have a lovely Wednesday, y'all.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is so excited about the start of the 2013 season with Sunday's season opener against the Giants that he can't sleep.
"Can't sleep, popped up at 4:30 this morning," Jones said on his radio show on KRLD-FM Tuesday morning. "It's just an exciting time to think that we've got the team on the field that we do. This is a big game, we open it up nationally at AT&T Stadium. [It's] almost more than I can handle."
Jones admittedly feels the pressure of the team's past disappointments, especially the past two 8-8 seasons when the Cowboys missed the playoffs with losses in the final game.
But Jones said his excitement is rooted in his belief that the Cowboys will make a playoff run and finally live up to expectations because of the host of changes the team made in the off season.
"I feel pressure because of the fact that we haven't met our expectations," Jones said. "These last two years have been arguably … the most disappointing years in my career with the Cowboys. So, we needed to make some changes, and we did and have. Now, will they work? Will they be effective and productive? That's what's there. But we've given ourselves a real chance to maximize what [Tony] Romo brings to the table, to maximize our talent.
"I do feel pressure. But we do that to ourselves. We basically shove it all out there. We put it all on the line every time we throw. And I think that's the only way to go. Consequently, we have big swings. We have big disappointment when we don't get there. But that doesn't do anything unless you do something about those disappointments. I think we've done that."

Erie 11, Binghamton 4
The Erie SeaWolves tagged Rafael Montero for ten runs on ten hits and handed the Binghamton Mets an 11-4 loss on Wednesday night at NYSEG Stadium. Francisco Pena collected three hits and drove in two runs in the losing effort.
The B-Mets were in control for the first three innings. Binghamton grabbed the lead in the second against Erie starter Victor Larez. Blake Forsythe led off the inning with a double to left and came home when Pena smoked an RBI double down the left field line.
After cruising through the first three innings, Montero hit a major speed bump in the fourth. The SeaWolves plated five runs on five hits and took advantage of a fielding error to take a commanding four-run lead. Tyler Collins supplied an RBI double to tie the game, James McCann added a run-scoring single and Marcus Lemon capped the rally with a two-run triple.
Tyler Collins added to the lead with a solo home run in the fifth and the SeaWolves blew the game open with four more scores in the seventh. Ramon Cabrera delivered the crushing blow with a three-run single.
Binghamton scratched back with two runs against Larez in the seventh, his final inning. Pena started the inning with a double and scored on Joe Bonfe's groundout. Alonzo Harris launched an 0-1 pitch over the left field wall for his third homer of the season.
The SeaWolves plated their final run of the game against reliever Adam Kolarek in the eighth. Pena capped his three-hit day with an RBI single in the bottom half of the inning against Erie reliever Tyler Clark.
Montero (3-2) suffered his second straight loss. The righty allowed a career-high ten runs (seven earned) and ten hits while striking out five. Larez (4-0) racked up his fourth straight win, allowing three runs on seven hits over a season-best seven innings.
The B-Mets (14-12) conclude their four-game series and week-long homestand Thursday night at 6:35 PM. RHP Logan Verrett (4-0, 1.95) takes the mound against LHP Kyle Lobstein (2-2, 3.56).

Death is inside you at all times. It's part of you, not separate, but a simultaneous event. It is the vibration of "not life." Like the dark side of the moon, it's always there, you just can't see it.
The longer you live in your body, the easier it is to see death. At first, the newness of the body is overwhelming, and because your mind operates in a linear state, dominated by the senses and the three states of waking, dream and deep sleep, you can't see death within you. But as you become familiar with your body as you wear through the fabric of your life, your awareness will change, and your death will make itself more evident to you.
Like a wind, death matches the circadian rhythms of the planet, moving through your body and striking you once a day. When you are still and totally present, and your mind moves into its universal state where it begins to operate according to the spontaneous truth, you will be able to see death within you and witness the event of being struck by its rolling force. When death strikes your body at just the right point, it will kill the body. The event we technically characterize as death is the separation of the mind and the soul from the body. How you manifest the illusion of your death matches your karma—by illness, by accident, by decay.

We're looking at taking our teenage daughter on a European trip of her top must-see destinations. We'd like to take about 3 weeks, maybe a little more, in late June or early July 2010 and are hoping to go to the following places in the following order: Barcelona, Paris, Venice, Florence, and Rome. We are plannning on traveling by train once we get there, taking night trains between Barcelona and Paris and between Paris and Venice.
So, we know where we want to go...but what's a reasonable timeframe and a good amount of time to spend in each location? I've never been to any of these places and so I don't know how much there is to see or what kind of time schedule is reasonable. I'd appreciate any advice I can get -- we want to make this trip really memorable for our daughter. Thanks!

Students with a degree in psychology can find career opportunities working in schools, corporations, or in the social services sector. Many psychology grads work in the field of mental health, under the supervision of a clinical psychologist or psychiatrist. Psycho-analysis is based on changing problematic behaviors, feelings, and thoughts by discovering their unconscious meanings and motivations. By comparison, Jungian therapy focuses on the collective unconscious, dream archetypes, and symbolic representation. In dysfunctional families, children must learn to cope with unbearable situations, and often develop classical psychological symptoms. Therapists in turn will attempt to identify destructive behavior and emotions, and select suitable therapy.
In brief therapy as outlined by Milton Erickson, the therapist treats clinical and subjective conditions faster by precise observation, and direct intervention. Rather than a prolonged analysis of historical causes, the primary approach of brief therapy is to help the client become more versatile in the present, prompting successful clients to undergo spontaneous changes. Behavioral Therapy, on the other hand, addresses both normal and abnormal behaviors. Desensitizing is classical conditioning in action, where a therapist might help a client with a phobia through repeated exposure to the causal agent. Operant conditioning is more direct, relying on rewards and punishments to shape behavior.

Are you interested in owning part of a business? If the answer is yes, the stock market is a good place to invest. Before you put all your money into the stock market, learn as much as you can about how to invest wisely. Below is some of the information that you will need.
Prior to committing to any brokerage firm, or placing an investment with a trader, make sure you how much they will be charging you in fees. Not just the initial entry fees, but any applicable charges that may ensue, including those applied when you exit the arrangement, as well. Fees can quickly add up, reducing your profits significantly.
Voting Rights
If you are the owner of any common stocks, exercise your shareholder voting rights. Depending upon a particular company's charter, you might be entitled to voting rights when electing proposals or directors in major changes like mergers. You will have a chance to vote either by proxy via mail or at the annual shareholder meeting.
Maintain diversity in your investment choices. Just like the saying, it is wise to not have all of your eggs inside of one, single basket. If you decided to put all of your money into one specific investment and the company fails, then you have just lost your entire investment and your loss is total.
It is usually a waste of your effort to try timing the markets. History has shown the best results happen when you invest equal amounts of money in the stock market over a greater period of time. Figure out how much you can afford to invest on a regular basis. Then, begin investing on a regular basis and stick to it.
If you're a beginning investor, realize success isn't immediate. It might take some time before a certain company's stock begins to show some success, and quite a few people think they won't make any money, so they give up too soon. Patience is key to using the market.
Stick to areas that you know best and stay inside it. If you are going to invest without help or using a online broker, you should only go with what you know. Although you may be able to predict the future of any company, you won't always understand companies that make oil rigs. Professional advice is necessary in some cases.
Stock Market
Did this article motivate or scare you away from the stock market? If so, then be prepared to take your initial steps in investing in the stock market. Keep these tips in mind to give you confidence that you can find success and good fortune as you venture into the stock market.

Foreign jihadists swell rebel ranks in Syria
Al-Akhbar Management
Published Thursday, July 26, 2012
In restive northwest Syria, the insurgency has found an unlikely new partner in the struggle against the regime of President Bashar al-Assad: foreign Islamists who are arriving in large numbers.
But rather than adopt the revolt's calls for democracy and the fall of a dictatorial regime, such jihadists have taken a sectarian stance, promoting hatred against the minority Alawi sect, which they consider as "apostates."
At the Bab al-Hawa border crossing with Turkey, seized by Islamist militants last week, dozens of men claimed to have traveled from several Arab and Muslim countries.
Some said they were from Algeria, others claimed to be from Morocco, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Libya, and Tunisia. A few say they are from even farther away, including insurgent hotbeds such as Chechnya and Somalia.
From the start of the 16-month uprising – which has grown into an armed insurgency backed by Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey – the Syrian regime has claimed rebels were hosting al-Qaeda fighters, and that the revolt was a foreign conspiracy.
It is unclear just how many foreign jihadist fighters have entered the country.
What is clear is that Syria's rebels do not want to admit that the jihadist phenomenon exists.
In the central province of Hama, a rebel who identifies himself as Abu Ammar says he commands a 1,200-strong battalion.
"We will never let al-Qaeda take root here – we'll kill them if they try," he says. "The revolution belongs to the Syrians."
But eyewitness accounts suggest those fighters are coming whether he likes it or not, some of them likely to have been spurred by militant websites urging Islamists to join the uprising.
One website, the World Jihad Network, features a call published by the Iraqi Banner of Right and Jihad in June 2012 to "volunteer for jihad in Syria."
Another carries a statement by Abu Bakr al-Husseini, identified as emir of the Islamic State of Iraq, an umbrella organization for al-Qaeda and proxy groups.
"I do not forget to pay tribute to our brothers in the blessed, beloved Syria," says Husseini, adding that "the Islamic state" does not recognize "artificial boundaries or frontiers."
The Lebanese militant group Fatah al-Islam – which is linked to al-Qaeda – claimed responsibility in June for an attack on a military vehicle in the northern Aleppo countryside near the city of Aazaz.
"Thirty Alawi troops were killed in the Aleppo countryside," a statement from the group dated June 18 read, describing members of the Alawi sect as "Shia heretics."
In late April, Fatah al-Islam's leader Abdel Ghani Jawhar – one of Lebanon's most wanted men – was killed in Syria.
Jawhar was wanted by Lebanese authorities for the 2007 killing of 14 Lebanese soldiers in the northern port city of Tripoli.
Some believe that more jihadists will join the uprising as the fighting becomes more violent.
On one Internet forum, a statement by the radical Ansar al-Sham group said "the world needs to know that... Syria has started to attract young Arab men... who are ready to enter Syrian territory and join the revolutionaries and the fighters."
The statement adds that "no one has the right to blame the Syrians for the fact that Syria has become a theater for international jihad."
The Ansar al-Sham statement also threatens attacks outside Syria.
"They have the right to target international interests the world over, belonging to whoever directly or indirectly supports the ruling gang in Syria."
"Hundreds of Libyan heroes" are also fighting against the "Nusayris" – a derogatory term used to describe Alawis – claims another internet forum, Honein.
The forum shows a photograph of men wearing military clothing, and another of two protesters holding up a poster with a logo that reads "the Revolutionaries of (Libya's) Tripoli Brigade."
Alawis are not the only target of radical jihadists. A report in Germany's Der Spiegel on Wednesday highlighted the suffering of Christians, as foreign Salafis and Islamists take charge of the revolt, and turn what was initially a call for democracy, into a fundamentalist drive of hate against Syria's minorities.
The article notes the cleansing of Christians in the restive village of Qusayr, citing Syrian Christian refugees in Lebanon who explained how Salafis drove them out of their homes, and killed their men.

Facing Age Bias? Don't Let It Hold You Back
School is like the Play-Doh factory of career reinvention; you go in one way, and come out as something completely different. There's no guarantee that you'll succeed in your new form, but at least you've got the credentials.
And I thought there was also another benefit: Starting from scratch with a brand new degree puts you on equal footing with younger job candidates, who are also starting from scratch with a brand new degree. In other words, no age issues.
So, a few months ago, when I ran across a graduate program that offered digital media courses and the possibility of a full fellowship (covering tuition, and a stipend), I was definitely interested. Then I talked to someone familiar with the program, and she told me that the company tended to give the fellowships to "younger" students.
More:Job Retraining Programs That Won't Break The Bank
It was stunning to hear someone say that out loud, but beyond that, it made no sense. What difference does it make if I'm a 25-year-old starting out or a 50-year-old starting over? And isn't this ageism -- and against the law?
I don't know whether this fellowship would be covered under standard employment law, but in typical employment situations, it's illegal to make age-based assumptions and decisions when hiring people over 40. That's the law. But what is happening in the real world?
I posed that question to Carl Van Horn, the director of the John J. Heldrich Center for Workforce Development at Rutgers University, and the author of a new book called Working Scared (Or Not at All). When it comes to age issues, "employers are pursuing their best interest," says Van Horn. Primarily, they don't want to spend money to train older workers who may leave before they see a return on their investment.
More:8 Certifications In High DemandOver the past 15 years, Van Horn and his researchers have interviewed 5,000 older workers and 1,000 employers. As he explains it, large corporations, in particular, worry that older workers will either retire, or jump ship sooner than younger ones would. (Carl Van Horn was a guest on AOL Jobs' Lunchtime Live program Friday. Watch the highlights.)
"The perception is that when you hire someone who has earned a lot more and has more experience, they're going to make a leap toward greener pastures," says Van Horn.
Really? When I was a young worker, the only way to get big pay increases was to change jobs, which I did numerous times. Now, I have my children's college tuitions to pay, and retirement to save for. I'm looking at least 15 more years of work, and I'd rather do it in one place. How many 30-year-olds would say that?
I have no idea if the company with the fellowships really has a preference for younger workers, and I probably won't have the chance to find out. Right now, I have to pursue my best interest, which is making a living. And of course, if age did keep me from getting in, I would never know it for sure.
What about you? How has your age worked against you in the labor market -- or applying to degree programs?

What is about a new year, and wanting to revamp all aspects of your life? I sat down in December and decided I wanted to change a few things up, from maybe experimenting with hair colours (we'll leave that for the time being though) to a few home improvements. I wanted to focus on my blogging room, aka the box room in our house. I had let it get a bit cluttered over the past year, and I was finding myself sitting down on the sofa most days to blog and edit. I decided that this wasn't the most productive way to work and it seemed silly when I had an actual room upstairs for working from.
This meant, I needed to have a little change around. First things first, I had a huge clear out, we're talking bin bags full of old out of date make up and old primark bangles that I had lying around. Then I swapped round the furniture, as well as being a more productive work space, I wanted to make my room a better space to film in. So I moved my huge and soon I discovered, rather heavy Malm dresser to the other side of the room, this freed up space on the other side leaving plenty of space for my lights and tripod. I also left a little area where I could leave my tripod and lights up, you see it usually takes me a good twenty minutes, to set everything up so this will make things a bit speedier when it comes to filming.
Once I'd moved everything around and things were looking a bit clearer, it was time for the fun part, the accessories. I'd never really made the most of my desk before so after browsing Pinterest for hours for inspiration, I settled on a white, gold and pink theme. Very Kate Spade. Or so I hoped anyway. I bought a gold round plate from H&M home, and then a gold vase to hold some pink artificial flowers in, where I can't remember are from, I'd say Ikea at a guess. I have my lamp that I bought in a Next sale about four years ago, I will replace this at some point for a more gold lamp, but I didn't see it as a necessity right now.
Next my favourite parts, I wanted a print of an inspirational quote, and decided what would be more fitting than a 'What Would Blair Waldorf Do?' print? I got this from Wishb0ne Prints from Etsy and it arrived within a couple of days. I then popped it in this white frame from The Range that I had. Then I wanted to add some more inspiration so had some Polaroid's printed. I will be doing a separate post on these cause they excite me that damn much. But for now I'll say they're from Huggle Up.
Of course what blogging room inspired by Pinterest & Tumblr wouldn't be complete without fairy lights? I have two sets from The Range and Ikea which I strategically placed around my print and photos. I also have a wire heart notice board which is from Sass & Belle, which holds concert tickets, photos, and wristbands, I guess more of a memory board.
My windowsill just holds candles and more flowers, oh and a Harry Styles cut out. Totally normal. I also have all my stationary where I jot down lists and what not. My pink Blair Waldorf notebook is from Chroma Stationary and my diary is from Marks & Spencer. I then have my Acer tablet which I use for browsing Twitter and Tumblr.
My Malm dresser, then has all my make up in and hair care, but on top I have my jewellery housed in a Victoria's Secret bag, yes I know I am such a girl, with some books and you guessed it more fake flowers.
I feel a lot happier with my blogging room now, I feel it's a more calm and productive space, I feel there's less clutter, and I'm really happy with how it all worked out. I didn't even spend too much on the little revamp, probably about £25 max? Which I don't think is too bad at all. I am excited to now have a proper space to film and write blogs and hopefully this means I'll be creating better content for you all 🙂 so tell me what's your favourite way to revamp a room and where do you like to buy home ware stuff from? I love finding new places to buy interiors from!

How Gustavo Kuerten found the heart of a champ
As he launches his autobiography 'Guga' at Roland Garros, former Brazilian tennis ace reveals how he struggled to find a balance between being a 'nice guy' and a champion
Paris: A smile from Gustavo Kuerten is enough to brighten up a cold, cloudy day in Paris. He did a lot of that en route winning three titles (1997, 2000, 2001) at the French Open. But there was a time that the curly-haired Brazilian had to struggle to find a balance between being the 'nice guy' and still be a champion.
Former Brazilian tennis ace Gustavo Kuerten. Pic/Getty Images
"My mother, she's a social assistant. From the beginning, it was normal (for me) to help other people. Then suddenly I have to play and I have to beat another person. It was very hard for me at the beginning to watch someone, my friend, going out of the court crying," said the 38-year-old Kuerten, who launched his book 'Guga' at Roland Garros on Saturday.
"And then I lose the match and then he was laughing; I was crying. I said, 'No, that's not fun, too.' So how I have to improve and what I have to learn to be efficient as a tennis player and to become a champion?"
Paris mastered
The affable Kuerten though found a way to break into the Grand Slam champions' circle in 1997, when he beat three former champions Sergei Bruguera, Thomas Muster and Yevgeny Kafelnikov to emerge the surprise winner in Paris. "Against Muster, I was losing 0-3 in the fifth set," recalled Kuerten, who hasn't been able to pick up a tennis racquet for a few years because of his hip injury. "I was complaining a lot. I couldn't run anymore. Muster was killing me. I was thinking, 'No, I'm done, I'm done.' And people start to cheer me on for the first time. 'Allez (come on), Guga; Allez, Guga.' And things changed. I still get very emotional when I think about this because I connect it to another level that I didn't know existed."
Mum's the word
Kuerten, who is now actively involved in his foundation and tennis school, though said that the book had given him another chance to reconnect with his past, with his days growing up in the southern Brazilian town of Florianopolis. His father died of a heart attack when he was eight, and his mother was forced to bring up three boys on her own. One of his bothers was differently abled, and passed away in 2007. "My brother stopped playing tennis (when he was) 15 or 16 years old to let me try, because we did not have money for both of us," he recalled. "So, he stepped out for me to have a better chance. (At) Another stage, we had to sell the car and the piano. My mother had some jewellery. She was able to sell our house to give us our chance.
"I had this amazing power inside — the Guga that arrived from a kid and was watching this brave mother raising three sons without a husband. And seeing my handicapped brother, of being with no legs and but happy of just being able to hand a spoon or a fork, you know, simple things."
A smile was enough to get them through the troubles. Even now, when he is the most famous sportsman outside of football in Brazil, Guga hasn't forgotten how that one little thing somehow makes the world a better place.
