INTRODUCING the KPP 2019 model team!!
i ask them to model for me in ways that go well beyond the world's definition of model. we are more than an image to be viewed. we're going to work hard to see ourselves beyond that first glance and own what is unique about our own beauty.
AND i really hope that they will introduce me to you because i want to invite you to join me in the same mission of seeing beauty differently and seeing it in ourselves. you are all welcome to take this journey with us... beyond typical photoshopped senior portraits... beyond the pressure of 'pretty'... and into portraits that empower us, build our confidence, and show appreciation for all that we've been given.
so here we are with the class of 2019 rising soon to their senior year. 18 girls from 8 different schools around Portland including: Grant High School, Tualatin High School, Central Catholic High School, Saint Mary's Academy, Cleveland High School, Franklin High School, Clackamas High School, and Wilson High School.
The first of these introductory model headshot sessions began on our snow days in Portland... and I LOVE the way they turned out! During the next few weeks of shooting, the snow melted and spring was just beginning to rise.
If you're curious to know more about the kpp model team, this post + video sums it up well and you can read this post from last year for even more about working with me.
I'm so anxious to meet my new 2019 senior clients too! I love getting referrals from current or past clients because they're always such a great fit. Friends of friends are usually friends, right? If you're someone who's looking for your senior portrait photographer, I'd love to chat and see if I'm the one for you!
Oh, and if you book your session in April (one week left!), you get $50 off your session fee. Better calendar options AND a deal? WINNING!!

Folding glass systems for balconies and terraces
- a folding glass system allows more space for your area and offers a good look for the façade of your building
- gives you the opportunity to use your balcony as transparent or not
creates a safe environment for your children, no dust, condensation and cold
- a large variety of colors of the carrying aluminum rack as well as the glass
- the shape of the balcony doesn't matter, the glass system can be used anywhere
- large areas can be glazed as well, regardless of the size: hotels, caffes, restaurants, shops
- when the weather is nice you can open it fully and when its raining it turns into a shelter without ruining your view
- the protective brushes and the transparent silicon fillings provide soundproofing and insulation
- the materials used are completely harmless to your family
the glass is tempered, this type of glass is more hardened , six times tougher than regular glass. Tempered glass is usually used with frameless elements as it is in this case. Tempered glass is considered less risky because when it breaks, it cracks into very tiny pieces, preventing injury
- moving (sliding) of the wings happens steadily with average speed
- the wing can be "led" to the desired position so it can avoid collision with other wings and shortening the life of the wheels.
- the wings are slid along rails without applying any pressure across
when the system is closed every wing is back at its final form so the system can lock
- in case one of the wings has not been moved all the way it will not be able to close completely
- For fixing mistakes during construction, you should use the company that installed it
- cleaning of the glass should be "wet" carried with appropriate products. Acids and bases are not to be used. Dry rubbing leads to scratches of the surface and damages the cover
- not recommended for rooms glazed with glass units to warmer than 30C and with humidity more than 60%
- when the humidity is higher or when there are extreme cold temperatures outside a temporary condensation may appear on the inside of the glass
- elegant solution for restaurants, bars and hotels – parting smoker and non smoker areas
Now you don't have to change the interior and exterior. With our parting walls fully made of glass you will keep the style
- Our non profile system allows the parting wall to be opened so the whole room can be used
- an effective choice for balconies, terraces and porches = a way to increase the living space. They are the connection between the inside of the room and the beauty of nature

The highly anticipated movie sequels to the anime Higashi no Eden, or Eden of the East, have been reworked, with the result that the second movie of the pair, originally scheduled for January 9th, will now be delayed to March.
However, happily enough both movies have been extended in length.
Citing "production circumstances" as the reason for the changes, Production IG has lengthened the pair to 82 and 90 minutes, from 60 minutes each.
The first of the pair, "The King of Eden," opens on the 28th of November.
With the TV series ending on a cliffhanger, fans will surely want to know what happened to protagonist Akira Takizawa, a cunning marketing stroke if ever there were one…

Back in April, one of the larger car shows in the KC summer circuit took place. StreetCar Takeover, sponsored by Nitto, opened the season with hundreds of cars, and likely brought a thousand attendees to the Ameristar Casino parking lot. Every brand of tuner was represented, from the imports to the muscle cars, from bikes to jumping lowriders.
The show included a handful of local vendors, a DJ spinning an excellent playlist heavy on the 90's tunes, and even a dyno. I was only there for the tail end, but I caught a few pics for you guys.
The next show I'll be at is Import Alliance on 6/16 at the Speedway, and I'll be grabbing a ton more photos and doing a detailed writeup!

Udaipur City Palace is the largest palace in Rajasthan covering about 5 acres. It is really an amalgamation of a number of palaces built over four centuries by different members of the Royal Family as they added their own touches to the complex. It also deceives the eye into looking larger than it actually is as the structure is built over a natural hill, so some areas of the upper storey actually have no floors below them just the rock of the hill.
The Palace was started in the 1560s, by the Mewar Royal family and after the fall of their previous capital became the city and palace became the centre of their rule. The older sections include narrow corridors and steep staircases that lead to halls and courtyards. Typical of forts of the period the restricted passages help in the defensive properties of the building. The Palace is still used by the Royal Family as their residence but it now also includes the City Palace Museum and two hotels.
This is the main frontage of the palace from the internal courtyard of the Palace complex that can be reached from gates to the city to the right.
Entrance to the older sections of the palace are reached through the large arch way to the left. Other buildings of the complex are behind and to the right of where these pictures were taken.

OK, so a lot has been going on and most of it was actually positive. I KNOW. When does that ever happen. So that's my excuse for not being here because I was literally pulled out of my head, where I like to spend most of my time, and into real life. And it's nice, I've been busy with work stuffs, meeting other people stuffs, doing fun things stuffs, doing not so much fun things stuffs, you get the idea.
But tomorrow I'm flying to Barcelona. And we had another 'massive winter storm' hit New York today, so instead of excitement I spent most of my time obsessively checking on flight statuses. Not cool. It's looking better now, and I am still due to depart, so I'm remembering Christian childhood, and saying lots of prayers. I hope I still got them right. Barcelona is about to happen you guys, find me on Instagram as I hopefully will be making your life miserable with awesome updates. Or maybe a little brighter. It's all in the perspective, ya'll.
What else. I went to flee market in Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan the other weekend. And I'm pretty sure it's a re-occurring event so check it out if in the area. Because I surely did make my questionable purchase, which was a collection of these old, antique photos of random people. And I just had to have them in my life. Then we went wandering around DUMBO, Brooklyn and a natural idea popped into my head, which resulted in this photo.
And so now this is an art project, shall we call it that, of me taking my antique people to places. It's just the perfect amount of creepy. So stay tuned.
I went to a concert, but it was for an old Russian rock band so it won't make any sense for most of you. I did go with my sister, and she used to sing me these rock songs to put me to sleep, whenever our parents left her to babysit. And it brought back a lot of good memories. Also, my sister is kind of awesome. I guess the point here is do make an effort to reconnect with places, people, songs, blanket forts, whatever, I'm not judging.
Oh another thing, one of my oldest friends, like really truly I know him since high school kind of thing, began reading rap. And my initial reaction was 'ouch, man, how did life go so wrong?' But once I listened, it actually turned out good. Fairly good, I mean I'm not the expert, but it has rhyme and reason to it. So check him out 9immigrant, would ya? It is all in Russian, but since we have Putin spies everywhere you might as well start getting used to it.
And I leave you with that reassuring thought. Ta-Ta!

Israel's 'Nasty' Habit of Bombing Nuke Programs Out Of Existence And Saving The World
In 1981 the tiny nation of Israel executed a military plan which was roundly criticized across the world (including the United States). It was only with the hindsight of history that we can now say that Menachem Begin's decision to bomb an Iraqi nuclear reactor may have saved the world from a Sadaam Hussein with nuclear weapons.
Eight years ago we were told that SOMETHING happened in the Syrian desert. Israel was silent and Syria told a tale which changed more often than the IRS changes it's tune about the tea party targeting scandal. First they said that the IAF dropped a fuel tank in the Syrian desert, then they bombed a strategic location, then they bombed a warehouse, then Syria said that there was NO Raid, blamed the US for the attacks, and they finally said the IDF bombed nothing important, just a construction site. It turned out to be a nuclear reactor.
To do justice to both stories, we will break them up into two posts. Today Iraq!
Just like Iran today, Iraq protested that its interest in nuclear energy was peaceful, at the time Iraq was a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), placing its reactors under International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards. Some experts remained unconvinced that the IAEA monitoring program was sufficient to guarantee that weapon research was not being conducted. They also claimed that an Osiris class reactor was not particularly useful to countries which have no established reactor programs, but that it was capable of producing plutonium.
Israel first pursued a diplomatic solution to the situation. The villain of the Temple Mount and Israel's foreign minister Moshe Dayan went to the United States for help. However, Israel failed to obtain assurances that the reactor program would be halted. In meetings with the Defense Secretary Casper Weinberger and Secretary of State Alexander Haig, there was agreement about the Israeli assessment regarding the Iraqi nuclear threat. American representatives even verified Israeli assessments that Iraq was working to reach nuclear capability and would exploit the ability to influence and destroy Israel. Despite the American consensus, the Americans refused to act, perhaps because they did not truly grasp the danger, or because they did not want to upset Iraq, then fighting America's enemy, Iran.
Yitzchak Shamir, negotiated with French presidents Valery Giscard-D'Estaing and his successor François Mitterand. The French proved intransigent, looking out for their own economic interests as Iraq was by far their top customer for military hardware. The payments to France came mostly in the form of oil. According to Shamir, French Minister for Foreign Affairs Claude Cheysson told him that there were only two major Arab powers: Iraq and the PLO. Despite Shamir's personal affinity toward the French, as they had sheltered him while he was a member of the pre-state uprising against the British occupation of Israel, he was extremely disappointed when he realized that France was unwilling to cooperate and prevent Saddam Hussein's Iraq from becoming a nuclear state, despite urgent and emotional pleas by the Israelis that Iraq was preparing a nuclear holocaust against Israel and the Jewish people. (source Yitzhak Shamir, "The Failure of Diplomacy," Israel's Strike Against the Iraqi Nuclear Reactor 7 June, 1981, Jerusalem: Menachem Begin Heritage Center: 2003, 13-14.)
Just like today with Iran there were political considerations, but this time the politics were in Israel:
According to Moshe Nissim, it was the need to contend with the danger of an atom bomb in the hands of a dangerous and irresponsible Arab ruler who would not hesitate to use it against Israel that convinced Begin of the urgency and necessity to destroy the Iraqi reactor. In addition, Begin knew the Likud had a chance of losing the upcoming elections. If Labor, led by Shimon Peres, came into power, Begin feared the plans to prevent Iraq from obtaining a nuclear arsenal would be shelved. Begin, however, was not about to let Israel's security be weakened due to election consideration (Moshe Nissim, "Leadership and Daring in the Destruction of the Israeli Reactor," Israel's Strike Against the Iraqi Nuclear Reactor 7 June, 1981, Jerusalem: Menachem Begin Heritage Center: 2003, 21)
As the IDF reported it:
4 pm, the evening before the Shavout holiday, 1981, orders were given to begin operations. At 5:35.a squadron of IAF F-16 fighter aircraft flew over Iraqi skies and dropped a number of bombs. The nuclear reactor was completely destroyed. Mission accomplished. One after another, the pilots shouted the code word "Alpha" into their radios, signaling their success. Zev Raz, Amus Yadlin, Chagi katz, Amir Nahumi, Yiftach Spector, Yisraeli Shapir, and Ilan Ramon- changed history, erasing the nuclear threat of the enemy.
Iraq established a nuclear program in the 60's and with the cooperation of the USSR built a nuclear reactor ten km's southeast of Baghdad. 16 years later, Iraq began to broaden their nuclear programs and were supported by France who provided them with a nuclear reactor. The reactor consisted of two buildings, the "Tamuz" 1- the first reactor that produced uranium, and the "Tamuz" 2. The Israeli government convened to discuss the growing nuclear threat in that region. Israel was doubtful about Iraq's claims that the nuclear program was for the benefit of its citizens. Their doubt increased when the IDF Intelligence Branch published intelligence reports that Iraq's operations posed a real threat to Israel's very existence- and Israel was forced to draw up plans to destroy the reactor.
On the 14th of May, Prime Minister Menachem Begin, authorized the bombing of the nuclear reactor. Ezer Wiezmen, the then Defense Minister, opposed the operation and resigned from the government two weeks later.
During a cabinet meeting the plan was formally authorized by Begin.
"A large clock is hanging over us, ticking. Iraq's intent to produce nuclear weapons poses a great danger to every man woman and child in the state of Israel", the prime minister remarked.
The plan was kept in complete secrecy. From the get-go it was understood that the most effective way to implement a successful mission would be one conducted by the Israeli Air Force. It was decided that the operations would be done by F-16 fighter aircrafts that the IAF had received the year before. An Israeli Air Force squadron of 8 F-16's heavily armed, as well as a number of F-15's providing air cover and fighter support would implement the mission. One of the primary focuses during the planning stage was which direction the planes would fly. (11,000 km each way), over hostile territory and with a limited supply of fuel dictated the flight path. The plan was set for the seventh of July, zero hour-30 minutes before sunset.
"We flew over the Tigris river, looking down we saw the nuclear reactor. Our target lay before us clear as day."The pilots that participated in the mission were selected for their impeccable flight records and were trained in secret and requested to implement the operations with no second thoughts. In the afternoon hours of the 6th of June, the plan was set in motion. All the members of F-16 squadron were called up for duty. On the morning of June 7th, 1981 8 F-16 fighter aircraft left Israeli airspace heading west towards the Tigris River, next to Baghdad. The flight to Iraq took upwards to an hour. Radio transmission was silenced. The Iraqis were caught completely off guard. The Iraqi radar system was incapable of picking up on the impending danger.
Major General Amus Yaldun, one of the eight combat pilots that participated in the mission and now head of the IDF Intelligence Branch, related, during an interview with IAF journalists, about the famous flight. "Each aircraft flew with three full tanks of gas, two air to air missiles and two bombs each weighing one ton. We flew in two groups of four. The first group was led by Colonel (res.) Zev Raz, the "First Jet" squadron leader, and the second group was lead by Brigadier General (res.)Amir Nehomi, commander of the "Northern Knights". I was number two in the first quadroon. We headed south of the Jordon River, passing over the Saudi desert. We reached the Tigris River in a short amount of time.
The blast of the first bombs echoed in the distance. One of them hit the center of the reactors roof. Once the bombs were releases, I felt the impact of the explosions shaking my plane. This was the end of the Iraqi nuclear reactor "Tamuz" 1." The Israeli planes made a roundabout turn west, heading home. "The direction home was facing the sun as to prevent the enemy from following us. We received report of the second squadron's attack on the reactor.
Files released by the British National Archives in 2011 show that Britain's ambassador to Washington, Sir Nicholas Henderson, was with US Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger as the news came of the bombing came in:
We felt great. A- Because of completing the mission and B- Because all of us, the whole squadron, had come home in peace."At the time, the attack was widely criticized. Israel responded that its actions were self-defensive and thus justifiable under Article 51 of the United Nations Charter. Critics rejected the idea of "pre-emptive self-defense". France, in particular (again no surprise), was outraged over the loss of a French national as a result of the attack, and since the raid diplomatic ties between France and Israel have remained strained. The United Nations Security Council passed Resolution 487, calling upon Israel "to place its nuclear facilities under IAEA safeguards", and stated that Iraq was "entitled to appropriate redress for the destruction it suffered". Israel has not complied with these requests. The United States supported the resolution condemning the Israeli action — not the country as other nations tried to do. Their course of action was to withhold a contingent of aircraft already promised to Israel.
"Weinberger says that he thinks Begin must have taken leave of his senses. He is much disturbed by the Israeli reaction and possible consequences," Sir Nicholas cabled London.Of course the UN General Assembly passed a resolution trashing Israel for saving herself.
Britain's ambassador in Baghdad, Sir Stephen Egerton, disclosed that the Iraqis had been just as surprised when the Israeli F15 fighters appeared in their skies.
"The diplomatic corps had a ringside view of the belated ack-ack and missile reactions to the raid when we were gathered for the Italian national day reception on the Bund [waterside]," he wrote.
Over twenty years later when the world began to face a terrorist threat as never before the world began to realize the service performed by Israel, the IAF and Menachem Begin.
Just imagine a world with Iraq or, God Forbid, a terrorist with their hands on a nuclear weapon. If it wasn't for Menachem Begin, a Prime Minister with guts to give the orders to protect Israel, knowing (but not caring) that a world would absolutely freak, and the heroes of the IDF who flawlessly performed their mission, this scary world have happened already.For those who are still questioning PM Netanyhu's reaction to Barack Obama's P5+1 deal, remember what happened thirty-four years ago, and understand that Israel will do anything it takes, no matter what the world thinks, to defend herself. And if they do, eventually the world will say thank you. But it really doesn't matter.
The White Paper meant that Great Britain was causing the death of hundreds of thousands of Jews who could have escaped the Holocaust, had they a place that would take them in. The US refused to take them onto American soil FDR believed there were already too many Jews in the U.S. and Churchill refused to take them on English soil.
Decommissioned in 1946, the ship the President Warfield was bought for $8,000 as scrap by the Western Trading Company (a front for the Haganah, which later became the Israel Defense Forces). Jewish-American Sam (the Banana Man) Zemurray was instrumental in obtaining the ship for the Haganah, which would explain its Honduran registration as Zemurray United Fruit Company, a company which pretty much owned Honduras). The President Warfield was refitted in Baltimore and sailed from that port for France on 25th February 1947 where it picked up over 4,500 Jewish refugees.
On 17th July 1947, the President Warfield was renamed "Exodus 1947" in a ceremony on the open sea, the Zionist blue-white flag with the Star of David was hoisted and "Hatikvah, (the Hope)" which eventually became the Israeli national anthem, was sung over and over.
As described by a refugee Noah Klieger, "we were determined not to surrender the ship to the British without a fight. It was an unequal battle, and eventually the Royal Navy boarding party, using truncheons and light firearms, succeeded in bringing the "Exodus" under its control. The clash had lasted several hours and resulted in three deaths –- Second Officer William (Bill) Bernstein, an American Aliyah Bet volunteer crew member, a 15-year-old refugee Zvi Jakubowitz, and one other. Some 150 were injured, including other American volunteer crew members."
After reaching Haifa, British soldiers transferred the "Exodus 1947" passengers, exhausted from the sea journey and the battle, to three freighters converted into caged prison ships. It was named "Operation Oasis."
The three caged prison ships, departed Haifa with the "Exodus" passengers. The refugees assumed that as illegal emigrants they would be interned in camps on the island of Cyprus. But the three prison ships were sailing towards the European mainland, back towards France. The conditions on board these ships were harsh. The refugees lay crammed together in the bare holds of the freighters.
The ships first landed at Toulon, France, where the passengers were ordered to disembark. When the French authorities refused to use force to remove the refugees from the ship, British authorities, fearing adverse public opinion, decided to wait until the passengers disembarked of their own accord. The British Foreign Secretary tried to scare them off the ship by threatening to send them back to Germany. But the passengers didn't budge. They forced the issue by declaring a hunger strike, so the British sent them to Hamburg, Germany where the British authorities compelled the passengers to disembark, and some were forcibly removed from the ship. The British then took the 4,500+ passengers many of whom were refugees from concentration camps and transferred to displaced persons camps in Germany.
Displaced persons in camps all over Europe protested vociferously and staged hunger strikes when they heard the news. Large protests erupted on both sides of the Atlantic. The ensuing public embarrassment for Britain played a significant role in the diplomatic swing of sympathy toward the Jews and the eventual recognition of a Jewish state in 1948.
The ship's ordeals were widely covered by international media, and caused the British government much public embarrassment. The former passengers were permitted to immigrate to Palestine in small groups, and most were present in Israel on May 15 1948 when the nation their plight helped to create, declared its independence.
A confidential report kept in the files of the child-tracing service and dated 31 October 1947 makes it clear that the phenomenon of anti-Semitism did also exist among the echelons of the British Mandate powers. Using sharp words, the report gives a disparaging assessment of the Jewish committee established in Pöppendorf stating that the reason for the children's being destined for Palestine were incomprehensible considering that not even one of the children had "Palestinian" parents.
The correspondence files bear witness to the fact that these children often times were completely on their own. Some of them had fled the Germans together with their parents leaving Poland for the Soviet Union. Having arrived in the SU, they had been deported by the Soviets to Siberia. And not seldom did it occur there that the children lost their parents, brothers and sisters and their whole family to a premature death caused by forced hard labour their dear ones were not able to cope with.It is said that the events of the Exodus voyage convinced the US government that the British mandate of Palestine was incapable of handling the Jewish refugees problem, and that a United Nations-brokered solution needs to be found. The US government then intensified its pressures on the British government to return its mandate to the UN, and the British in turn were more than willing to accept this.
Sixty-Eight years ago, the British appeased the Arabs, denied Jews entry into the Holy land and sent them back to the Germany from which they had just escaped. Today the US, Britain and its European allies are still appeasing radical Islamists, their terrorism, their call for the destruction of Jewish State, and the anti-Semitic hatred they teach their children.
The battle to save Israel and the Jews no longer takes place on a rickety old ship, the Jewish State now has a modern army for protection, sometimes the battle takes place in the White House or Congress, make no mistake about it...the Jewish people are just as precarious position today as they were 1939 or in 1947. The only read difference is that anti-Semitism is now back in favor.

Female NY Post Columnist Says Cosby Didn't Rape They Were High-Pressure Seductions
In the column she writes for the NY Post Andrea Peyser usually covers scandals involving famous people. And she usually does not mince words when talking about the "guilty" party. The Washington Post once called Peyser an "object of fascination among some media observers in New York, who count her unforgiving, exuberantly spiteful columns as a guilty pleasure."
But strangely in the case of Bill Cosby who has admitted giving women Quaaludes so he can have sex with them, Peyser believes he's guilty of something but is not sure its rape.
She starts her Friday column with:
Bill Cosby is a lousy husband and a possible sex addict. But is he a rapist? I have my doubts.No Andrea that isn't female heresy its HUMAN heresy!
Is Cosby, 78, so diabolically creepy that he secretly slipped Quaaludes into the mouths of his alleged victims, as even President Obama suggests? Perhaps.
But I'm starting to think that Cosby's "crimes'' were not rapes, but high-pressure seductions. This may be female heresy.
Still, I wonder if some, if not most (or maybe all?), of the dozens of women who claim Cosby attempted or completed sexual assaults against them, dating back as far as the 1960s, swallowed drugs willingly before the encounters.Perhaps It's because I have a daughter or perhaps its just because I am just a human, but I actually agree with Obama on this one. If someone plies someone else with drugs just to get them in bed and then has sex with them it's rape. Even if the woman took the drugs willingly. After all even if she is "with it" enough to make a decision to sleep with the guy, she still isn't of full mind. Cosby would know what he wants...the Woman (and in some cases Girl) doesn't know and can't make an informed decision.
It may not matter. Most of Cosby's illicit activities would be considered sex crimes, according to today's feminist-written definition of rape. Off with his head, and other body parts!That's true society looked at rape differently. But in those days they also believed that the NY Rangers would never win another Stanley Cup after 1940, and that smoking tobacco was good for you.
But not long ago, society looked at rape differently. If a woman, and this was mainly about women, knowingly took drugs or drank alcohol before engaging in sex, and then for whatever reason — shame, guilt or seeing Prince Charming turn into a frog by the light of day — that lady regretted her tacit agreement to engage in sexual activity, she would just have to live with her stupid decision.
Obama implied that Cosby gave drugs to women without the recipients' knowledge, which has not been proven. Cosby has never been charged with a crime and denies any wrongdoing.
(...) Asked in the deposition if he ever drugged women without their knowledge, Cosby's lawyer objected to the question. He never answered.
"Camille still doesn't believe that Bill provided drugs and had sex with women without their consent,'' a Cosby family employee told Brown. "She's well aware of the cheating, but she doesn't believe that her husband's a rapist.'' Camille Cosby attended a crisis meeting last week with her husband's advisers, and demanded that his lawyers and public-relations specialists "get back out in front of this,'' Brown reported.
|Andrea Pe
"Everyone took Quaaludes in the '70s. He didn't shove pills down anyone's throat,'' Sandy Kane, a former stripper and comedienne who earns tips from tourists who take her picture in Times Square as the Naked Cowgirl, told me. Kane said she had a consensual quickie with Cos in Los Angeles in the 1970s or early '80s when she was on a Quaalude, and eagerly swallowed another half-pill he gave her.I experimented with Quaaludes also, it just made me fall asleep. I have been straight while others took the drug and there was no way someone could make an important decision such as whether or not to have sex with someone even when taking the drug voluntarily.
The fact that Ms Kane believes she took the drug and thinks she made an informed decision to sleep with Cosby may be an indication of her lack of judgement in other areas. Ms Kane also shows up in Manhattan, wearing nothing but a bikini bottom, cowboy hat and boots, with red-white-and-blue pasties in the shape of marijuana leaves on her nipples, while playing guitar to entertain the tourists. I am no doctor but I believe she has worse problems than taking drugs and sleeping with Bill Cosby.
|Sandy Kane
But despite the fact that he was my comedy idol, and certainly despite the fact that Andrea Peyser believes they more like high-pressured seductions, Bill Cosby raped those women. I don't care if they took the Rorer 714s willingly or he slipped them a mickey. He took advantage of those women. And to call it anything other than rape is just insensitive and uninformed.
Ms. Peyser has a daughter. I wonder what she would say if (God forbid) some guy got her high on drugs or booze and then took advantage of her daughter's lack of sobriety and had sex with her without her consent. Would she really wave it off with a "well my daughter should have stayed sober"? Or like most parents would she be looking to strangle the SOB with her bare hands? Allow me to suggest she would take the second option.

This glittering diamond fringe tiara was given by King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra of Great Britain to their eldest daughter as a wedding gift in 1889. Worn by her as a tiara and as a necklace, it was also worn by her daughter and granddaughter-in-law, before being auctioned in 1959. Click HERE for the post on Princess Alexandra, Duchess of Fife, and HERE for the post on the Fife Tiara.
This stunning fringe tiara, "of alternating and graduating rays, varying from nearly two inches long in the centre to half an inch at the extreme ends", was given by the Prince and Princess of Wales (later Edward VII and Queen Alexandra) to their eldest daughter, Princess Louise when she married the Duke of Fife in 1889.
Princess Louise, Duchess of Fife wore the Fringe tiara for an official portrait, but otherwise wasn't pictured wearing it as a tiara. However, she often wore the fringe as a necklace with her diamond tiara.
In 1920,Princess Louise loaned the Fife Fringe Tiara to her eldest daughter, Princess Alexandra, 2nd Duchess of Fife, who wore it in an official portrait with her husband, Prince Arthur of Connaught, upon their appointment as Governor General and Viceregal Consort of South Africa. It was also worn in a hand-coloured picture and at the pre-wedding ball of her niece by marriage, Princess Ingrid of Sweden in 1935. (It is also thought the Duchess might have worn her mother-in-law, the Duchess of Connaught's, Fringe which will be the basis for a future post, for the portrait.)
In 1956, the Fife Fringe Tiara was worn by Caroline Dewar when she married Lord Carnegie, nephew and heir of Princess Alexandra, Duchess of Fife. However, when they succeeded to the title in 1959, the Fringe Tiara was auctioned at Sotheby's for £4,200, probably to pay for death duties. It hasn't been seen since.

Regaling the return of the tiara—and why not? If it was good enough for Queen Victoria… this emerald and diamond set was designed for Victoria by Prince Albert, the love of her life. It's rarely on display, but Kensington Palace is pulling out all the stops for the relaunched 'Victoria Revealed' exhibition, in advance of the monarch's 200th birthday in 2019. #JoieDeViv @visitbritaingcc #kensingtonpalace @historicroyalpalaces . . . @zoomermag #travel #london #victoriarevealed #jewels #diamonds #emeralds #style #fashion #jewelry #tiaras #queenvictoria #royalstyle

Blog submitted by Dane Levy Attorney of www.Dentalmal.com, a provider of legal services for those injured by dental malpractice in California
Dental malpractice includes a wide range of dental procedures that cause injury to patients. This is often due to dentists performing treatments without the training needed to safely handle such procedures. It is vital that patients visit a dentist who comes recommended, works in a clean hospital or private practice and clearly displays his or her qualifications in plain sight.
Most often dental malpractice will occur when a dentist performs a complex, expensive procedure that can only be performed by dental specialist. However, in most states, dentists under law are permitted to perform complex dental procedures based on their training.
It is important that patients understand that general dentists may not have the training and experience to perform advanced procedures like root canal overfill, extraction of molar teeth etc., followed by the sedation needed for the procedures.
If you or someone you know has been faced with a dental injury that is believed to be a form of dental malpractice, it is advisable to consult an experienced dental malpractice lawyer. Your lawyer will be able to evaluate your facts and build a malpractice case.
Some of the common areas of malpractice include the following;
Wrongful death
Hospitalization resulting from dental treatment
Anesthesia injuries or death
Jaw fractures
Numb lip
Wisdom/third molar teeth extraction injuries
Nerve injuries – Face, lip, tongue
Extracting the wrong tooth
Requesting unnecessary treatments
Injuries due to drilling mishaps

Why the jump? Theories abound that the studio was attempting to capitalize on the press surrounding the show's literal twentieth birthday (it was a midseason replacement), and the big anniversary special that aired a week or so back. So, if everyone's talking about the Simpsons turning 20, the best possible sales would be generated by a set with a big "20" on the front of it, I guess?
You can go crazy trying to read the tea leaves with TV people (as anyone following the late night battles can tell you); suffice it to say, whatever the reason, seasons 13 through 19 will presumably be revisited. (We hope?) The twentieth season did mark an important turning point for the show: midway through, with the episode "Take My Life, Please," the series finally made its long-awaited changeover to HD broadcasting, which is presumably why the season 20 set marks the series' Blu-ray debut.
But enough about the marketing logistics; how is the show this year? Surprisingly robust. There are few things in this world that stay funny for 20 years (ask Jay Leno), and while the notion that The Simpsons passed its golden age a good decade ago persists, just about every episode here delivers the expected giggles and guffaws. "In The Name of the Grandfather" is vintage silliness, an episode that manages to begin with Homer and Grandpa Abe at a three-legged race and proceed, with perfect Simpsons logic, to have the father and son running a pub in Ireland. "How the Test Was Won" plays beautifully off the always-fertile comic soil of Lisa's insecurities about her own braininess. "The Burns and the Bees" visits Mr. Burns at a billionaire's retreat (and takes a quick but well-aimed shot at their boss, Rupert Murdoch); as someone whose hometown invested in an ill-advised and unnecessary arena, I particularly liked Burns' line at his new sports arena's opening game ("Welcome to the American Dream: a billionaire using public funds to construct a private playground for the rich and powerful!"). "Waverly Hills 9-0-2-1-D'oh" features Ellen Page in a clever send-up of Hannah Montana, while "Mypods and Broomsticks" features not only some trenchant and funny social commentary (via Bart's friendship with a Muslim kid), but a terrific B-plot giving the business to all of us Mac users. The season's highlight, though, is "No Loan Again, Naturally," an expectedly irreverent take on the housing crisis, in which we find out that Homer has taken out a high-interest home loan every year to fund his elaborate Marti Gras parties.
Sure, not every episode is a winner. I've never been a particularly big "Treehouse of Horror" fan, and "Lost Verizon" is a rare show where they can't seem to come up with anything clever to do with their celebrity guest voices. "Eeny Teeny Maya Moe" goes past silly and into the realm of stupid, while "Four Great Women and a Manicure" never seems to have gotten much farther than the good idea stage.
But those episodes are aberrations. For the most part, even as it approaches drinking age, The Simpsons remains a potent mix of goofy storytelling, uproarious non-sequiturs ("Flowers!" Homer snorts. "The painted whores of the plant world"), surprisingly biting social satire, and good old-fashioned family comedy. The jokes are inventive and the writing is strong, and they continue to find ingenious ways to exploit the richest supporting cast on TV. Say what you will, but this show is still one of the greats.
But here's the rub. In contrast to previous Simpsons sets, which offered an embarrassment of bonus feature riches, we get exactly one extra: "The 20th Anniversary Special Sneak Peek by Morgan Spurlock." No commentaries, no deleted scenes, no animation showcases, no featurettes, no nothing—just a commercial for a special that aired on January 10… two days before the set's release. What exactly is the response they're hoping for to this "sneak peek"? "Hey, I sure will watch that! When's it on?... What? Two days ago? D'oh!"
The lack of bonus features contributes a rather thrown-together feel to The Simpsons: The Complete Twentieth Season, and that's a shame; the talent behind the show have always treated fans right when it came time to plunk down the dollars for these sets, but this one feels like a rush job that will probably get a second pass down the line. It's still worth having, of course, but be prepared to grumble about it in a couple of years.
"The Simpsons: The Complete Twentieth Season" was released on DVD and Blu-ray on Tuesday, January 12th.

My Take on Roop Mantra Ayurvedic Cold Cream:
The outer packaging is a carton box which has roop mantra logo on it with ingredients list and other details. The actual product comes in a big tub form which has screw cap and a safety lid in it to protect the cream. The product is creamy white in color and has nice flower like scent in it, very similar to ponds cold cream (which I have used a lot 😉) It has a thick creamy texture which spreads and blends very well. It is very creamy so little bit of the product goes a long way, which means that this 100 gm of tub will definitely going to last long. Roop Mantra Ayurvedic Cold Cream is the only solution for winter dryness problem, providing a proper nourishment to skin with the goodness of Coconut Oil, Kesar, bee wax, shea butter, glycerin, vitamin E. This cold cream is specially designed to treat cracking & flaking of skin and bring back that amazing soft skin. This cream is really a bliss for dry skin people but for oily and combination skin beauties might feel a bit greasy after few hours, for that I would suggest you to use very little amount which your skin will absorb and avoid oiliness. Although it is an ayurvedic cream but still it contains parabens and alcohol which is not that good for skin. I like this product because it keeps my skin hydrated throughout the day without giving any breakouts. I would really recommend this cream to everyone, go get it! 😊
- Very moisturizing
- Little product goes a long way
- Does not breakout
- Lasts whole day
- Reduces flaky/dry patches
- Contains paraben

The Rose in the West represents what the Lotus does in the East. A symbol of love, but especially of a love that is pure. Because of the rose's beauty, scent and shape, it is the ultimate floral symbol. Of all the flower tattoo designs, the rose is still the most popular and the most requested. Interestingly, the rose is nearly as popular with men as it is with women.
Early Christians associated the rose with their Roman enemies, hence it became a mark of scorn, but eventually it came to symbolize the survival of persecution. Later yet, won over by its fabulous beauty, Christians adopted the rose as a symbol of the miraculous. At least a dozen saints have their names linked with roses, like Saint Therese of Lisieux, also known as Saint Therese of the Roses. The Virgin Mary herself is called «The Mystical Rose». The first «rosary» is said to have consisted of roses, then, later, rose-carved beads.

Marshmallows for hot drinks
While the standard marshmallows are cooked to be large and sturdy on their own, the ones for hot drinks should be creamy and melting easily. Try my recipe, although similar to the basic one, to enjoy beautiful and tasty hot drinks marshmallows! :-)
Oh my, that is one of my most favorite recipes — who doesn't love these spongy, almost weightless little cubes of sweetness?! With my super simple recipe you will (quite literally) whip up some of them in no time!
Sushi-like rolls
Can you imagine, there was the time I didn't want to eat sushi, because of the raw fish?! Well, that's true, shame on me. Lots of shame. On me. Agreed...
Knowing that, I decided to make a recipe for sushi-like rolls, that look and taste close to sushi, but... are not raw! Nothing in this recipe is raw, and that also means that you can keep them safe longer at the room temperature, place in your bento, take for a picnic or just offer them as a healthy snack for people didn't discover yet the ingenuity of Japanese cuisine! ;-)
German Zimtsterne (cinnamon almond cookies)
I always wanted to make these, and finally got the guts — oh boy, I wasn't really prepared for the amount of nitty-gritty with making these. I started with original German recipe that called for 500g of almonds, but that ended up being 2 full baking sheets and lots of sneaky snacking between steps ;-) But the result is good, and these cookies are worth the effort.
Orange cheese-tart
I didn't plan to make this cake at all, what I did plan was apple tart with apricot jelly... Well, sometimes I just change my mind, especially while experimenting in the kitchen :-) The result is interesting, refreshing and citrusy! :-) If you don't like the strong orange aroma, you can replace them with any soft and sweet fruit: peaches, pears, and apricots should do fine!

How To Play Roulette
Roulette online Feels not inferior roulette, which is in a land based casino gambling halls: the same euphoria of victory, the same bitter taste of losing, fear of losing a bet, etc. Roulette online casino rarely is it called, there it is known under the but under roulette understand the game where two players take turns firing the gun is not fully charged himself in the head. So if you can not find roulette games in the lists, do not rush to get upset!
Very common progressive types, strongly swaying dispersion. This means that the risk of "merge" a large amount increases dramatically. But this growth is not entirely justified because the benefits, though very likely, but negligible. Lambert system, Donald-Nathan son, Austere and, of course, Martingale mean rate increase after a loss. They who are progressive and from them should stay away.
They are efficient, do not be in any game roulette table limits on the maximum rate (and hence the number of doublings). Besides bankroll player must be infinite, and it is physically impossible. Imagine that you have lost 5-6 times in a row and the next doubling rests on the maximum bet. What to do? In fact, this is a very dangerous situation from which there is no decent way. The most sensible thing - to stop such a risk and play differently.
If using some strategies and systems, it was not progressive. Look for those in which the variance is not shaken, and vice versa - is compressed, the game becomes less risky. Typically, in such cases the gain is minimal, but yet another novice player and do not need.
Play roulette online casino and download casino roulette rare and little better. So you reduce the distance, and thus improve the chances of a considerable profit. And the best thing to put on an equal chance or dozen / column.
Even desirable to know when to leave the table. Determine for yourself the amount won or lost that, you should immediately stop playing. Believe me, it saves a lot of money. Do not be greedy and do not fall into the excitement - then all will be well.

text: Mariam Melikadze July 1, 2010 Tax & Spending The horror unleashed Mariam Melikadze July 1, 2010 Tax & Spending 5393 the-horror-unleashed The Guardian piece on unemployment has received much attention (ahem… causing much panic) over the last day. The article describes a "hidden cost" of over one million lost jobs as a result of the cuts and brings into question Osborne's claims about the transparency of his briefing. Although I'm far from convinced by the forecast quoted in the article, especially as the exact source and methodology of the study are unknown (how exactly did they come up with these numbers?), let us assume them to be accurate for the time being. Then here's a thought: The source clearly states that despite the 1.3 million jobs lost in the public sector, the private sector will create an additional 2.5 million, therefore we actually end up with a net increase in employment. While the Guardian never questions the figures on the lost jobs, the second piece of data is brushed away. Note that both numbers are from the same source, thus if one is treated as accurate, I believe the second one, at the very least, should be addressed more fully. The article argues that there is "not a hope in hell's chance" the private sector can generate so much growth, yet doesn't mention any substantial evidence proving this point. Furthermore, the Guardian writes "… the private sector will be affected both through the loss of government contracts and from the knock-on impact of lower public spending". What they forget are the additional benefits to businesses included in the new budget: in conjunction with the spending cuts, we will also see decreases in corporate tax rates that will most definitely boost employment. Historical cases support this claim. For example, the Ireland corporate tax cut in the 80's improved the economic environment and increased income (from 30% below the EU average to 40% above the average today). Benefits to businesses attract investment, increase employment and boost per capita income. For some reason the Guardian fails to note the beneficial effects of the emergency budget that will make up for the lost jobs – were they to occur.

Susan Luc and Betsy Tabatcher have a confession: They are reformed shop-aholics.
The two became friends in 2006 while working at Ann Taylor Loft in Hudson. Though two decades apart in age -- Luc is in her 50s, Tabatcher in her 30s -- they shared a similar aesthetic. Which they discovered because they both usually wanted to buy the same exact clothing in the store (using their employee discount, of course).
Eventually, though, both women realized they were buying too many clothes, at too many stores. They found themselves in a paradox lots of women can relate to: feeling guilty about owning an abundance but still panicking about not having the right thing to wear on certain occasions. Then perpetuating the cycle by running out and buying something else they might never wear again.
So, Luc, who lives in Hudson, and Tabatcher, who lives in Akron, helped each other streamline their own closets and re-work their wardrobes. They were so good at it that they decided to launch a business doing the same thing for others.
Now, as Luc, a 15-year fashion-retail veteran says, their philosophy is this: "The more you know, the less you need."
What: A Hudson-based service (the consultants work across Northeast Ohio) that provides image analysis, wardrobe planning and personal shopping.

And they know their fashion: They immerse in books (Tim Gunn's is a new favorite), lots of magazines, Web sites, blogs (they love
and newspaper articles, creating their own notebooks of information and inspiration.
Their timing is good, too. True, image consulting has been around for a long time; wardrobe advisers in Northeast Ohio have come and gone.
One thing has changed, though: Lots of TV shows, the best-known being "What Not To Wear," have shown women how professionals can help them vastly improve their appearance. We've seen how experts who have not only a knack for fashion but a good eye for proportion, fit and flattery can change your looks -- and your life.
Luc and Tabatcher -- think fun girlfriends, not scary fashion arbiters -- do that at quite a reasonable price. After an initial free consultation (though it might be by phone if you live a long way from Hudson), they then go to a client's house and rework their wardrobe for $65 an hour. The client decides how many hours she wants to invest.
As Tabatcher notes, "We're there to help you dress, though, not clean out your closet."
They help clients pull out the pieces they love, make sure they fit well or tell clients how they might be altered if the clothes are in good condition. If they are, and they flatter clients in size and color, and look current, they'll be set aside.
The two will create a personal booklet for each client, with a list of what each one has (plus the few things she might need to buy) and -- here's the great part -- create wardrobe combinations for clients to refer back to.
As Tabatcher says, "We try to help clients figure out their signature look or pieces, and help them decide what few accessories or pieces they might be missing."
The result is an exponential number of combinations of outfits, built on the kind of lifestyle you lead (i.e., more professional, more casual, etc.)
One thing they do emphasize: helping women look put together, even in casual clothes. Don't show that you've given up on life by running around in baggy sweatshirts and tennies, they say. Trade them for just as comfortable well-fitting capris or other casual pants, perhaps, with cute flats or sandals.
If you need these two to help you shop, they'll do so for $25 an hour. If not, you can just shop like you always do, but with a difference: using a targeted approach by just buying the pieces they've helped you decide on. No more indiscriminately picking up tops, pants, etc. and ending up with the mismatched mish-mash of the past.
As Luc says, "We're there to take the stress out of your life."
And make you look great, even on casual days.

Hannah Lowe was born in Ilford to an English mother and Jamaican-Chinese father. She began writing poems aged 29, after her father, a professional gambler, died of cancer and her mother had a stroke.
She cites Gerard Manley Hopkins, Anne Sexton and Mark Doty as influences. "I had been suppressing a lot of grief over a sustained period of time and poetry…opened a door on that pain. I found that I could revisit the past in my poems, and contain it, or alter it even."
Chick, her first collection, stems from an Arvon course in 2010 in which the Scottish poet John Glenday suggested she write about her father.

'Vol 2 – Mercy Flight' EP Review.
I have heard of these guys out and about on the live circuit and seem to remember catching them live a couple of years ago so, when I was asked to do a review of their current E.P. I was interested to hear how it would sound. So….here goes.
Track one, 'Kneel before you die'. This track instantly gets you moving with its rolling rhythmic feel and huge riffs. These are reminiscent of the ever popular stoner movement. The calling of the jungle drum intro makes you want to get in the pit straight away, with vocals that make me think of Morrisey, giving it a very English and punky vibe.
Track two, 'The Obsession', is the slow burner of the E.P. and makes me think of Alice In Chains (which is a good thing). This is a definite 'less is more' song which relies more on the vocal melody than the music and when the vocalist introduces some screaming into the mix, it makes the track even more powerful.
Track three, 'Mercy Flight', has the most energy to it and is a strong way to end the E.P. With it's (Machine Head) Supercharger sounding intro, and rolling tom orientated drum beat, the song has a really catchy chorus with vocal harmonies which is a great dynamic to have as a band. If this doesn't get you out of your seat then you must be one lazy bastard.
For me, this sounds like a band who wear their influences on their sleeves but without sounding like rip-off merchants, hints of 90's Nu-Metal, Grunge and even Stoner Rock seep through these three tracks without one particular genre taking the lead. The production is clear and punchy giving the tracks a really solid sound. You could argue that the vocals are a little higher in the mix than necessary which is a shame as, for me, they are not the strongest element of the band, not terrible, just doesn't float my boat. You can tell that 'The Riff' is important to these West Midland bruisers and that gets a big thumbs up in my book straight from the get go.

Lessons learned about children from war zones and refugee camps
What do children really need? The answers may be found in war zones and refugee camps, a psychiatrist and relief worker suggests.
(Reuters Health) - What do children really need? The answers may be found in war zones and refugee camps, a psychiatrist and relief worker suggests.
Although being shelled or living in a squalid refugee camp may seem like worst-case scenarios for children, they're not. But they do highlight what's actually most devastating, according to an article published in the Archives of Disease in Childhood.
More than anything, children need to be with people who love them, writes Lynne Jones, a child psychiatrist, relief worker, writer, fellow with the FXB Center for Health and Human Rights at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and author of "Outside the Asylum: A Memoir of War, Disaster and Humanitarian Psychiatry."
For Jones, the writing of the current article took on an extra sense of urgency as the United States began separating immigrant children from their parents.
"This article is based on talks I've given highlighting one of the worst things that can happen to a child: separation from those they love," Jones told Reuters Health. "What made it particularly relevant was I was writing it at the time of the separation crisis. I think there are a lot of lessons that are pertinent to those children who are trying to escape extreme violence in Central America and find themselves separated from the people they love and trust."
In her article, Jones tells the stories of children who have taught her lessons about what is most important to them. "Paradoxically I discovered in my Bosnian research that children who were separated from those they loved for prolonged periods, even though they were living in relative comfort, had more severe psychological consequences than those who had lived with parents they loved and trusted in relative danger and discomfort under siege," she said.
Jones recalls meeting with children after the Kosovo conflict. Many did not want to talk to her about what happened, but "when offered the opportunity to testify to the War Crimes Tribunal, all the children wanted to be interviewed," she writes.
Sometimes it's just a matter of waiting for children to talk.
"One belief that is very common is the idea that you must get children to talk about their experiences in order to aid their recovery," Jones said. "Some will want to talk, but some won't. It should be up to the child. That is why I have a rule: don't force talking but be able to listen to whatever they want to talk about."
Jones has collected children's stories for people to learn from (https://migrantchildstorytelling.org).
"If you do listen to them, they will tell you what they need," Jones said. "And if you do listen, pay attention and do something about it. There are children across the world in desperate situations."
Jones also learned that what works for one child may not work for another. "Every child is different," she said.
Another nugget: there was often a difference in the way boys and girls responded to the hardships faced in refugee camps.
That's also seen in American children, said Kimberly Blair, director of the Matilda Theiss Early Childhood Behavioral Health Center at the Western Psychiatric Institute of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. "They're equally as hurt," said Blair, who wasn't involved with the article. "But we often see this manifested a little differently."
Blair isn't sure that waiting for kids to talk is always the best route. "We want to talk," she said. "But we are sensitive to when kids are ready. Part of the work is getting them there."
Often the approach isn't direct. "We do everything through play with the kids," Blair said. "If they don't want to talk about it directly, then we will watch them at play and see if we can pick up on some cues."
Jones is right about the importance of connection with loved ones, Blair said, adding that many times she sees children who have been removed from their parents.
"When a kid gets separated they're not just suffering from the trauma of the experience (that led to the separation)," Blair said. "Despite the fact that they might be safer somewhere else, that connection with the parents is so important. So, the separation is traumatic. Our parents are where we get our security from. Those are the people who provide us with a feeling of safety."

This project is a collaboration with my friend and colleague Imogen Lamport, a global image and style expert and a successful blogger. Independently, we both had been approached by women who wanted to work with us and do our programs, but felt they couldn't commit to it until they had lost weight or reached an ideal weight. They were deferring investing in themselves until they lost weight, always putting themselves last and downplaying how important the way we look and feel are to our ongoing emotional health and the role those things play in succeeding with any endeavor.
We started to think: wouldn't it be great if we could help these women while they are on their weight loss journey? What if these courageous women could look and feel great right now, while they are losing weight – and not have to put off looking and feeling their best until that goal weight had been reached?
But we knew it was even more important than that. Looking and feeling good is nice – but we knew it was more central, more imperative, than being simply 'nice'. We knew that the deferring of looking and feeling better was actually hindering the success of these terrific women on their weight loss journey. We knew that looking and feeling great was a "necessary to have", not merely a "nice to have" on a weight loss journey.
Click on the image to watch Jill and Imogen talk about Svelte in Style: How to Look and Feel Great While Losing Weight.
It was a year from the time we started to explore this concept until the book was launched in July 2013. During that time, we wrote the book, had it professionally edited, and created a website just for women on a weight loss journey, or those about to start on one, to help them look and feel great while losing weight.
Svelte in Style is an instantly downloadable e-book that is intended to provide something extra to women as they travel the path of losing weight. It is about looking and feeling great and the enormous difference both those things can make to a woman's emotional state and her success in losing weight.
Svelte in Style:
- Is full of exercises and activities to encourage action in the areas of looking and feeling great while losing weight.
- Is not a weight loss book.
- Contains two main sections: How to Feel Great written by me, Jill Chivers, and How to Look Great written by Imogen Lamport. There are images and illustrations to bring the concepts alive.
- Is a How To guide – it is intended to be not only read, but used as a workbook where you take action and do the exercises suggested.
- Contains two bonus sections – How to Eat Healthily by guest contributor Annette Sym and How to Exercise Healthily by guest contributor Amanda Cox.
Svelte in Style's core focus is on the fact that you are valuable the way you are right now. You are worth money, time and effort right now…not when you get thin. You can look and feel great the size and shape you are!

Youth Strength Training Benefits Part 2
Prevent Injuries
In any most sports, the body is in constant state of displacing and transferring forces. This is especially true in contact sports. These forces places extremes amount of stress on the body, especially the joints, ligaments and tendons. Proper strength training acts to prepare the body for these stresses, why teaching to body to properly absorb and transfer internal and external forces, which will limit injuries and promotes athletic longevity.
Maximizes Performance
Every aspect of athletic performance can be dedicated by overall strength. The stronger the athlete, the faster, more powerful, more coordinated and stable that athlete can become. Strength serves as the basis, thus the lack of strength can serve as a limitation for athletic performance. An athlete that is consistent in her time in the weight room, will see consistent improvement in her performance.
Promotes discipline
Proper strength training requires a huge amount of maturity, fortitude and discipline. At VAC, our strength training plans are well established and requires our athletes to actively track the amount of load and volume they're working with, as well as any modification that are made. This helps each athlete to understand that if performance is measured and tracked, it can be better improved and substantiated.
Its Rewarding
Because strength trainng requires a substantial investment of time and energy, it is a great tool for establishing the value of hard work. Hitting new personal records in any measure of performance (broad jump, 20m Sprint, 1RM Bench Press etc) is incredibly rewarding for all athletes, because it is an absolutely and objective indication that they are improving. With that, comes renewed confidence as well as self affirmation and value.
Healthy Living
Regardless of the duration of one's athletic career, the time spent in training is often a high in an athlete's life, and will help to establish habits of physical fitness and activity that will last a life time. With obesity rate increasing in North America, it is important to teach our children the value and importance of exercise, proper nutrition and making healthy life style choices. Strength training is a part of that education process. As mentioned earlier, it promotes discipline as well as rewards. It is a great means to reinforce a healthy and activity life style.

The Benefits of Travelling Alone (+ some snapshots from Dublin)
Most of the time, solo traveling is looked at as something kind of weird and kind of awkward (I mean, asking random strangers to take photos of you can definitely turn awkward). When I booked both, my trip to Paris and the one to Dublin, the majority of those whom I talked to started a rant about how dangerous it is or expressed admiration towards a so called 'bravery/independence'. All I knew was my plan to see as much of this world as possible, the fact that flights from Manchester are fairly cheap and that my friends either didn't have the money or the time to embark with me on those international adventures. I had no idea that it would turn out to be so beneficial for me as a person.
Here's what I like most about travelling alone:
You do everything on your own terms
You don't have to agree with anybody about anything. You can stay in the cheapest hostels or in the extremely expensive 5 star resorts, you can go to a village no one has ever heard of or visit one of the well-known cultural capitals, you can spend the whole trip locked in your hotel room or you can visit 7 museums in one day. You can do everything according to your own budget, time, mood and preferences in general…and that can spare you a lot of drama.
It's a great confidence booster
Surviving a whole different country/city by yourself can definitely be a challenge, especially if you're experiencing a new culture or a language you can't understand a word of. Even though it can become nerve wrecking (e.g. me crying in the centre of Paris at night because I just couldn't find a damn hotel), having to solve all the issues you might come across gives you a certain sense of independence and confidence in your ability to adapt and deal with unexpected situations.
You're more likely to meet really cool people
Yes, being by yourself might make you an easy target for a lot of unpleasant stuff, but it will also make you a lot more open to socializing with people you would have never said hi to if you were with your best friend. I will openly admit that socializing is not my forte and in spite of that, some of my dearest memories include people I've only met once and that's only because I happened to be by myself, trying to figure out how the means of public transport work…
You learn more about yourself
We often don't realize how the majority of our actions are influenced by the people we surround ourselves with and the expectations we know they have from us. From this perspective, going by yourself to a place where no one knows you or expects anything from you can feel liberating. It might make you rethink some of your decisions and attitudes and it might even be the perfect starting point for some changes in your life…or it can only be the perfect occasion for you to get drunk, forget all of your problems and pass out on a random street without worrying about what anyone else might think of you (it's all a matter of perspective, you know...).
Anyway, if you happen to be reluctant about booking a solo trip at the moment you are reading this blog post, take it as a sign to just go for it. It's the 21st century and as long as you plan on going to a democratic country you should be fine. I mean, look at me: I'm a 1,67m, 50kg blonde and after 2 city breaks by myself, I'm alive and well. Just go for it.
