Follow These Tips For Healthy, Radiant Skin
Your skin is your body's largest organ, so caring for it properly is essential to both your appearance and your health. Whether you want to create a skin care regimen or treat specific skin issues, following the tips and advice in this article can help you achieve a radiant, glowing complexion.
Your lip skin is very sensitive. Make sure to treat it with lip balms and Chapstick regularly. You will find that your lips stay moisturized and crack less. It also provides protection from the sun as well.
To keep your skin healthy, don't smoke. Smoking causes your skin to age and it can cause wrinkles on your face. When smoking it makes the blood vessels in the outer layers of skin more narrow. This decreases the blood flowing in your face and depletes the skin of oxygen and important nutrients, needed for healthy skin.
Some companies make oil absorbing sheets that are great when you don't have warm water and soap to wash your face. These can go with you on walks, workouts and any other time that you think you may need to wash your face on the spot. They fit into your pocket and can be thrown away after use.
You should exfoliate at least twice a week. Look for exfoliating lotion and scrub your skin gently for a few minutes. Exfoliating longer to clean up inside your pores and get a smoother skin.
Looking for more beautiful skin? Make sure you get plenty of sleep each night. When you sleep, your body repairs and heals the damage to your skin brought on by stress throughout the day. Not getting at least 7 hours of sleep can leave your skin looking uneven and pale. Getting a good night's sleep will have your skin looking radiant and healthy.
Your hands have some of the most sensitive skin on your body. During colder times of the year, it's very easy for them to dry out and crack so make sure you keep them moisturized. It's also a good idea to wear gloves to protect your skin when visit the next web site you go out in the cold. If you like to wear wool gloves, make sure you put a think cotton glove underneath it to keep the wool from irritating your skin.
If you have serious skin issues then you should consider a chemical skin treatment. In these treatments, special substances destroy the bonds between cells and remove keratinized layers. This will leave your skin looking smooth and healthy. However, this can cause reddening and allergic reactions in certain circumstances.
Remember that moisturizing your face does only half of the job. Try to drink plenty of water because it helps in keeping your skin hydrated and looking fresh as well. Your skin is one of the largest organs in your body and also requires the most care since it is the barrier between your insides and the outside world. Drinking water rids your body and skin of toxins, while also hydrating it; moisturizing after helps finish the job.
To gain more benefit to your skin from an exfoliating treatment, extend the time you exfoliate, not the force that you use. If you scrub your skin with extra force, you'll just end up causing more damage. A longer exfoliation time will clear more of the dead skin cells and dirt, without hurting your skin.
If you have serious skin issues then you should consider a chemical skin treatment. In these treatments, special substances destroy the bonds between cells and remove keratinized layers. This will leave your skin looking smooth and healthy. However, this can cause reddening and allergic reactions in certain circumstances.
To preserve your skin's luster, don't wear makeup to bed. Removing makeup stifles bacteria growth on your skin, and does away with problem causing oils. Your skin heals itself during the night as you sleep.
If you are a teenager who plays football, make sure that the helmet that you choose is not too tight on your chin. The tighter your strap is, the more it will rub against the surface of your skin and cause irritation, especially when you are sweating and under high levels of stress during the game.
If you are considering plastic surgery, such as a facelift, to get rid of wrinkles or drooping skin, look into microdermabrasion instead. Microdermabrasion carries much less risk than a surgical facelift, but for many women the results are very similar. Microdermabrasion also does not require the long healing times of surgical facelifts.
An important tip about skin care for your baby is the fact that harsh detergents may irritate your baby's skin. This is important to know so that you use mild detergents on baby clothes, blankets, your own clothes and any fabric that it has prolonged contact with your baby. This will at least cut down on the chances of developing a rash.
Change the type of moisturizer you use during the winter months. Look for an "ointment" moisturizer that contains oil; it will help your skin stay moisturized longer than other products. Make sure it contains an oil that will not clog your pores, like avocado oil. If you are having trouble finding something, check out night creams.
In order to keep your baby's skin healthy, be sure that you understand that birthmarks are common and may appear within weeks of its birth. This is important to know so that you can http://www.globecasing.com/artificial_sausage_casings/collagen_sausage_casing properly identify birthmarks form other potentially harmful skin markings. If you are unsure about a marking on your baby, contact a pediatrician.
Include healthy foods in your diet. What you eat can have a dramatic affect on your complexion, including producing acne. Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meats and any foods high in vitamin C will facilitate clear, young-looking, radiant skin. Fatty foods and carbohydrates are believed to have the opposite effect.
You learned in the introduction to this article that high-quality information about skin care can be quite difficult to find, but it can make a huge difference in the effectiveness of your skin care program. Use these suggestions on how you can have the healthiest skin possible, and you will see the difference.

Both SDN and NFV have seen unprecedented hype in recent times and they do offer several benefits to justify it, however we see that actual commercial deployments at a mass scale are still lagging. Today, the industry faces several fundamental challenges that have to be overcome for successful adoption of SDN and NFV. Technology maturity, a clear industry direction and consensus on multiple open-source standardization initiatives, and proven business cases are some of the examples of technology-related challenges. However, given the paradigm shift that SDN and NFV bring, we really need more than just technology solutions to make them succeed in large implementations. Operators need to revamp their processes, skills, and people capabilities and even their business and operation models. The goal is to ensure that all parts of the service provider organization work in harmony in the new network cloud era.
To highlight the impact and transformation requirements in achieving true benefits of SDN/NFV, this article utilized McKinsey 7S framework, which is one of the best models to assess and monitor changes in organizational analysis and internal transformation.
The operators should develop a clear vision of why they need to deploy SDN and NFV. One option is to move faster and create a competitive advantage over direct competition by offering new services to have a positive impact on the top line of income statements. However, questions should be asked as to how to sustain the advantage, and the answers lie in building the right network cloud architecture, embracing new business models, and offering new service capabilities as well as reducing costs/overhead to enable sustainable value creation through simultaneous pursuit of differentiation and low cost. This is a key concept of Blue Ocean Strategy, which can carve the way for success against increasing competition from OTT players.
Shared Values
The core values evidenced in corporate culture, operating mindset, and general work ethic are at the heart of any organization. Transforming the culture of an organization is the most difficult task and needs clear planning and continued efforts starting from management. Telecom operators are used to competing with each other while maximizing the value for customer and themselves, but Internet over-the-top players have changed the paradigm by creating new value chains and business models. Operators have to both adopt and adapt to the changing market dynamics. Making the organization customer centric is one way that several operators have adapted. Another change in the mindset is moving from "fail proof" to the "fail fast and recover" approach.
Usually telecom operators structure themselves around functional areas like engineering, operations, IT, procurement, finance, HR, etc., while more technical divisions are sub-divided into technology area, for example it is common to see engineering divided into fixed access, mobile access, IP core, optical transport, fixed core, mobile core, etc. Network cloud has brought IT infrastructure to engineering (albeit with more stringent requirements), and all network functions will be hosted as VNFs (virtual network functions). There is a clear need to restructure operator organization by combining network and IT operations, collapsing long planning cycles by introducing DevOps (combined development and operations) teams, and assigning SMEs (subject matter experts) to service functions, as opposed to technology areas.
Systems & Processes
These are the daily activities and processes followed to get the job done. Traditionally, operators have followed very stringent and complex process frameworks to ensure high quality and conformance. The result is long lead time for service order resolution and new service development. However, with the rapidly changing market dynamics and customer behavior, operators need to adapt more agile management methodologies.
Similarly procurement models have to evolve from long RFP cycles of turn-key (hardware and software integrated) solutions to facilitating separate procurement models for software & hardware allowing best-of-breed software VNFs to be integrated on unified NFVI.
Skills & Staff
The telecom industry faced this challenge while moving from TDM to all-IP architecture; it will be a similar journey moving toward network cloud. This is perhaps the area requiring most of the investment. Each operator should conduct a skills-gap analysis to estimate training needs of existing staff or the necessity of hiring new people with emphasis on software skills. Training current employees has challenges that whether to train telecom and IP/data network specialists on cloud technologies or IT experts on telecom functional requirements. Moreover, the tendency to learn new technologies reduces after spending several years in the same job. There is another limitation of available training and certification programs for network cloud (SDN and NFV). And hiring new people is also not straightforward because it takes a lot of effort to understand telecom market dynamics and integrate with the company culture. The solution is perhaps a mix of both approaches with new blood coming in with app development, cloud, and API management capabilities. In order to have successful adoption of network cloud, skills and capabilities should be benchmarked, and improvements should be monitored and assessed against the goals.
Leadership commitment, endorsement, and participation can help to facilitate this transition. Leaders should also manage the balance between creating cooperative and competitive team behaviors, as both have their merits in certain environments. A strong leadership belief in the technology and its benefits could be the difference between success and failure of SDN and NFV initiatives.

Cromarty Trip
The Cromarty trip went ahead with 20 members braving the atrocious rain. Although the incessant rain meant that walking round the idyllic wee town was not possible everyone enjoyed the trip. The day started with the group being totally surprised by the bus driver. He was 21 but looked about 16 and it was his first day on the job! He handled the day very well though even when we decided to leave an hour earlier due to the weather.
First port of call at Cromarty was the Courthouse where the group split into two to look around and enjoy the exhibits. The picture shows one of the jail cells at the Courthouse. After lunch the group then visited Hugh Miller's Cottage.
Congratulations to Joan for organising the trip. It's clear members enjoy trips away and hopefully we'll do more.

Connection: Resonance Mates
D'Arc continues with her Resonance Mates series bringing the readers forward 16
years. The O'Hara's daughter, Callie, is now full grown and she meets one of
the Alvian aliens, Davin. Davin isn't like the other aliens who have taken over
the planet Earth. He feels emotions that the other aliens do not and because of
his differences he lives his life in danger from his own kind. Although he is
basically an outcast, he is in a very high ranking position. Leaving his work
base he travels to where the few humans still live in hopes of finding his true
mate or risk going mad.
he finds Callie, his Resonance Mate, she is too young for him, but just being
able to communicate with her until she gets older is all he needs to keep his
mind sane. Years go by and finally he has his chance to be with the mate he has
fallen in love with.
the mean time, human, Rick St. John, has been hiding out in the mountains with
his father until the aliens come and hold him captive. He is sent to be
experimented on with the rest of the humans that are captured. While being held
in the underground prisons, he becomes a leader working for better treatment
for the humans being held by the aliens.
Rick meets Callie and Davin, Davin realizes that Rick is also Callie's
Resonance mate. Can the three of them come to terms with what this means and at
the same time stay one step ahead of the enemies who want to kill Davin?
is a wonderfully originally written science fiction novel. I love Bianca's
imagination and where it takes her in this love story. While this book has
several well crafted erotic scenes, they're almost seem secondary to the story
at large about the new world that is being created in the story. It is a good
read with detailed characters and crafty story line.
man will Callie choose, the alien or the warrior? Or can she have both?
each Alvian, there is one perfect match—a Resonance Mate whose soul
blends in perfect harmony. Unlike the rest of his race, Davin has emotions and
suffers for it. Without a mate, he is doomed to go mad. Searching for answers
and understanding, he seeks out Callie O'Hara, a human woman with strong
empathic gifts. Could this fragile human be his Resonance Mate?
St. John is a tough-as-nails survivor of the Alvian occupation of Earth. He
doesn't believe in much, but when he sees Callie for the first time, he starts
to believe in love at first sight.
Governing Council is gunning for Davin, the upstart who dares to defy them. And
they'll kill anyone who gets in their way. Davin and Rick must come to terms
with their feelings for Callie in order to keep her safe, while she has to find
a way to save them both. . .with her love.

For those
who enjoy a good knight tale, which features dragons, as well as other
creatures, creepy kings, magical mysteries, heroic knights, and strong women,
Bianca D'Arc's Dragon Knights series is one of the best around. The series
tells the story about a group of knights fighting at their borders to keep an
evil empire from claiming their land.

-- and unites a family with her love.
Lucia, born a lady in a foreign land, now waits tables for her
keep. When she sees Sir Reynor wasting away, she storms the Castle Lair seeking
help for the dying dragon. What she finds is a dashing rogue, a mighty
dragoness, and a contrite knight who blames himself for his dragon partner's
Marcus is enchanted by the foreign beauty and intrigued by her
mission. Few women will go near dragons and fewer still can communicate with
them. Marcus recognizes Lucia for the treasure she is and knows she is meant

Prince Nico is a cunning master of stealth, but can he master a

When Nico wakes, he knows Ricki is the woman he's been searching
for and wastes no time busting them both out of the enemy palace. Thus starts

danger, and the discovery of an undeniable love and mutual respect.

But Riki's life has been traumatic and she cannot trust easily - especially not

free air for the first time in her tragic life?

Princess Auto's head office
Princess Auto has been a part of the Winnipeg business community since 1933. From their Winnipeg head office, Princess Auto operates 46 retail locations across Canada and has a bustling online division.
All of these locations generate a huge amount of data to capture, analyze and export. The Harvey Tallman Boardroom (Harvey Tallman bought the company in 1942) is the command-and-control centre for the company.
The Harvey Tallman Boardroom AV system has changed the way the management team works. The Epson ultra-short throw interactive projector enables the team to see the data in a collaborative way while mounted unobtrusively above the whiteboard system.
The whiteboard is part of the Integrated Interactive System. The whiteboard is designed as a superior quality projection screen that doubles as a whiteboard. The system includes the housing for the control panel and markers, a marker tray, the projector mount and a valance to maintain a nice clean look.
The touch screen controller is user-friendly allowing to switch sources to the projector as well as operate the audio conferencing unit.
A recessed cable cubby on the boardroom table provides participant's laptops instant access to the projector. The cable cubby inconspicuously allows for different types of inputs as well as supplies power to the devices.
The audio conferencing system enables management to comfortably talk to their retail locations and suppliers. Everyone seated around the boardroom table has their voice picked up by the ceiling microphones with the outside participants voices fed through the boardroom's ceiling speakers.

The scent: Like many Cake Beauty's products, this hair powder has a sweet dessert smell.
Consistency: Loose powder
Application: I sprinkle some powder on the hands then rub the powder at the roots.
Packaging: The powder is in a cardboard container. Twist the top lid to pour out its content.
Thoughts / Results:
I find this hair powder works really well as I can rub it in my hair in the morning and still not get any greasy feeling by night. Even though I find it works well, its scent can get a little irritating for me. The scent is too sweet. I wish they made a fragrance-free hair powder.
Cost: $18 CAD @Sephora or Cake Beauty Online Shop
Product: Cake Satin Sugar Hair & Body Refreshing Powder - for darker hues
Rating: 4 / 5
- Works really well
- Colour is perfect and blendable with a brush
- The scent is too sweet for my liking

More than 700 participants from Ogden and surrounding areas gathered at the Dee Events Center early Saturday morning to compete in the first event of the annual Winter Race Circuit hosted by Get Out and Live and the GOAL Foundation.
The Winter Race Circuit is the first of five races in the series. The race brought a variety of runners from around Utah, including participant Manuel Cypers and his brother Bart. Cypers said this was their first time competing in the Winter Race Circuit, but both have participated in "over 100 full marathons." The Cypers brothers are currently training for the Ogden half marathon and Salt Lake half marathon.
Not only was the race a great chance for runners to build up their endurance for the coming races, it was also a great opportunity for volunteers to help out with the event. Weber student Emily Lescarbeau, a first time volunteer, said she will now "volunteer at all of Get Out and Live events."
The schedule for the upcoming races in the series is:
- 10K: Feb. 21
- 10 Miler: March 7
- Half Marathon: March 28
- 30K: April 25

I was in a mood last week. Like the kind of mood that only a little retail therapy could fix. Not in the mood to take off my clothes, and not in the mood to drop A LOT of cash, I headed straight to the beauty department at Neiman Marcus. I was considering splurging on the $70 Cle de Peau concealer that everyone seems to rave about, but when I asked my bestie (and editor-in-chief of NewBeauty magazine) for her opinion, she diverted me. The next logical stop was the Tom Ford counter, and that's where I fell in love (again).
I was perusing the lipsticks and glosses, and then I saw it standing next to—not with—the other eyeshadow palettes. The lovely saleswoman who was helping me (and obviously feeling my mood) swooped in and said, "Ah, yes… The Nude Dip Eyeshadow Quad. We can barely keep it in stock." And with that, I was sold. And suddenly feeling a lot better.
Most eyeshadow palettes are designed with colors that work well together. This is certainly true of the Nude Dip palette, but I was immediately drawn to these shades because I would wear each and every one of them solo. I'm not a big blender or contourer, and I prefer wearing a single shadow and dialing up the look with liner. Each of these subtly shimmery shades works day or night, and they can also we used wet for serious sparkle. It's only been a week and I've already used all of them, and I've even started mixing and matching them to create a new look each time.
Whoever said money can't buy happiness didn't use their money to buy this palette…

For those lucky enough to dress in womens casual clothes everyday, the challenges could be many, but a few larger ones are, how to build a core wardrobe of basics with enough variety to keep it from getting boring and how to match these varieties without looking like a slob.
Here are some tips to help women build their casual attire:
Buy your casual clothes the same way you would buy career clothes: always thinking about building your best womens casual attire wardrobe. For example, when choosing your casual wear for women, choose cohesive pieces and build them around basic styles. For casual clothing the best approach is three colors for the best mix-and-match wardrobe – khaki, denim, tan black, khaki, white etc.
And please don't forget about a great casual shoe because nothing kills a chics sporty casual attire like a pair of white running shoes. Stick with a pair of boots or sandals, etc. You probably won't get stopped by the "bad wardrobe police" with boots and they go with almost all casual clothing.
Use casual accessories and handbags — especially when it comes to casaul wear for women. No two worlds are more distant from one another than the classic look and womens casual attire. Please don't try to mix a gold and diamond watch with a sweatshirt unless you're Queen Latifah. Try to stay away from mixing styles.
Keep your casual clothes in good shape — don't be lazy if they need to be ironed then iron them, if they need to be cleaned then clean them, you get the point.
Stay far away from womens casual wear cliches – like baggy sweats. Baggy sweats is for lounging around the house only and if you are certain no one will see you out of your standard casual clothes. Remember today you might have a reputation to up hold. Instead, opt for some in style womens attire, a great track suit that comes with a strong fitted look in fun colors and rich fabrics like velour or terry.

Last night was the company's annual "prom" and Em-derella was there in all her finery: An Op-shop dress and beads her mother had given her.
Em-derella does not have a chariot, so her transport was a combination of shank's pony and metro train:
Decorated tables awaited bottoms:
The jazz was cool but Em-derella knew it was time to go home when the gangstas started to look real and a wee bit blurry!
All photos were taken with Canon PowerShot SD850 on manual setting. ISO varied between 80 and 1600. Flash was used just once on one shot of the tables.

I say people, people come on and check it now
You see the mic in my hand now watch me wreck it now
What is a party if the crew ain't there?
(What's your name, kid?) Call me Guru; that's my man Premier
Now many attempts have been made to hold us back,
Slander the name and withhold facts.
But I'm the type of brother with much more game
I got a sure aim and if I find you're to blame,
You can bet you'll be exterminated, taken out, done.
It doesn't matter how many they'll go as easy as just one.
Bust one round in the air for this here
'Cause this year suckers are going nowhere,
'Cause my street style and intelligence level
Makes me much more than just an angry rebel.
I'm Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal
MCs that ain't equipped get flipped in my circle.
I'm aiming on raining on the bitch ass chumps
Cuz their rhymes don't flow and their beats don't pump;
And niggaz better know I've paid my dues and shit.
I'm 'bout to blow the fuck up because I refuse to quit.
I'm out to get the props that are rightfullly mine,
Yeah me and the crew think its about that time.
But on the DL you know that Gangstarr will conquer.
That's why you stare and point, and others cling on to
My Nautica, asking for a hook-up;
Well sorry but my schedule is all booked up.
Nobody put me on; I made it up the hard way;
Look out for my people but the suckers should parlay.
'Cause it's business kid, this ain't no free for all
You have to wait your turn, you must await your call.
So now, now it is my duty to
Eliminate and subtract all of the booty crews,
And suckers should vacate, before I get irate
And I'll kick your can from here to Japan
With force you can't withstand
'Cause I'm the motherfucking man.
—Guru's verse, Gang Starr - "I'm the Man"When I heard yesterday morning that Guru had died, a sequence ran through my mind of classics rendered in that inimitable monotone. "Just to get a Rep" and "Words I Manifest" were my introduction to Gang Starr and the group's charismatic MC. I'm not one to dwell much on celebrity life milestones (though I do remark the excellent NY Times obit), not even in the tragic case of a quietus descended at young age. But it is certainly occasion to remember the music that kept me, my brothers, and my peers well entertained for a good while. As you can see from the above verse, Guru never pushed the bounds of complexity too far. His rap was mostly classic B-Boy swagger. But classic B-Boy swagger is what drew so many of us to Hip-Hop in the first place, the rump-of-cold-war kids born of the first generation able to take full advantage of the global village, finding our way as far-flung misfits. We didn't really know of any advantage to our polycultural dexterity, but we definitely understood the message of uncompromising personal expression, no matter how awful your personal ghetto. The braggadocio was the gateway to something that became richer and more abstract as we brought that polycultural dexterity to bear, and one of the last pushers of that pure, gateway drug hit was the Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal. "Dwyck" was the anthem around when I arrived in the US as my family immigrated. Daily Operation is probably my favorite album, with killer tracks such as "Take it Personal" and "Ex to the Next." I also enjoyed a lot of Guru's creative collabos in the Jazzmatazz series, and being a Soul junkie, I definitely dug the likes of "Keep your Worries" with Angie Stone and "Plenty" with Erykah Badu. Guru always surrounded himself with talent that complemented his skill and curiosity, and in a later verse to this Quotīdiē's track, for a cameo that straight flipped my wig (and those of many others), Guru introduced a young bridge from that B-Boy classic style to the emerging abstract/black-power style, Jeru the Damaja.
I'll tap your...jaw; you probably heard it before
step to the Bedlamite I'll prove my word is law
Drugstore worth more, dope rhyme vendor,
Not partial to beef, the chief ambassador
Niggaz get mad 'cause they can't score
Like a wild west flick they wish to shoot up my door
But I incite to riot, don't even try it
Bust up chumps so crab kids keep quiet
Like I said before, I tap jaws, snatch whores
Kill suckers in wars, vic a style you said was yours.
Money grip want to flip, but you're fish;
House the mic like your hooker and did tricks on the bitch
Dirty Rotten Scoundrel and my name is Jeru
Utilizing my tools in '92
MCs step up in mobs to defeat us
When we rock knots and got props like Norm Peterson;
Lot's of friends, lot's of fun, lots of beers
Got the skills, kreeno, so I always get cheers.
Troop on like a trooper, no tears for fears.
I'm a get mines 'cause the crew will get theirs.
Cut you up like Edward Scissorhands
you know the program I'm the motherfucking man.
—Jeru the Damaja's verse, Gang Starr - "I'm the Man"
By the way, when a friend confirmed for me that Jeru had thrown in a word of New Testament Greek ("κρίνω" or "krino"), I thought it helped confirm him as the motherfucking man, but if so, that became the case under the mentoring of Guru, and the same can be said of a fair number who now make up hip-hop royalty. Unfortunately, mad drama has started immediately in the wake of Guru's death. All the reports are dominated by an unseemly spat between different factions from the man's life. Despite that ugliness and indignity, no drama can take away the essence of Guru's legacy, which lives its part in my collection of three Gang Starr CDs and all four Jazzmataz joints. The hard monotone in which the Words Manifest.

So. It was April, and I was stuck in my head. I only had one thing I wanted to talk about, but I didn't know how to talk about it. And the more I didn't write, the more I couldn't write. But then I remembered something that happened right after we moved to Exile.
Of course, it doesn't start there (do ANY of my stories start where I start?) It starts with my wedding. Well, my wedding shower, actually. My maid of honor threw me an incredible shower, managing to avoid any of the obnoxious pin the train on the wedding dress/wrap the bride in toilet paper games. I know there were a couple of activities, but I only remember one: each attendee (excluding yours truly) was given two sheets of paper and two envelopes. The paper was blank; the envelopes were all addressed: "To the Happy Couple: On the morning of their wedding/When they have their first fight about money/As they celebrate their first anniversary/When they buy their first house" etc. The guests all wrote advice that fit the occasion specified on the envelope, and then my maid of honor gathered up the envelopes and presented them to me. I'd never seen that done at a shower before, nor even heard of it, but I loved the idea (still do. Fair warning if you ever have me throw you a shower.)
I kept the envelopes in one of my hatboxes (what. Doesn't everybody have hatboxes for storing keepsakes and, well, hats?) For the first 2-3 years, we regularly had occasions for which someone had written a piece of advice, and I couldn't wait to get them out to read what my Aunt Chris had said about fighting about money ("There will always be money problems, but if you don't handle them together, there won't always be a marriage.") or my Aunt Mackie had said about my wedding day ("Eat breakfast. You think you'll eat later, but you won't. And don't get drunk at your own reception; that's tacky.")
After about 3 years, though, we stopped hitting "envelope benchmarks." We weren't ready for kids yet, we weren't buying a house yet. And so it went for a couple of years, and I forgot about the envelopes.
And we moved, then moved again, and again. And then Goat #1 came along unexpectedly, and I was crazy and tired and crazy tired, and we moved AGAIN, and some mornings I couldn't remember which was the Soft Soap and which was the toothpaste, let alone where my hatboxes might be, or why I might care about finding them.
And one day, Goat Daddy said, "Hey, this isn't so bad. We're kind of good at this parenting thing." And I said, "Should we think about having another baby?" and POOF. (It so. did. happen just like that.) Goat #2 was on her way.
And we moved again. To UberExile (I know I said I would never speak ill of Iowa again, but honestly, that was the loneliest 15 months and 9 days of my life.) (Oh, like you wouldn't have counted.) Half the time, I was pregnant, and tired, and insane (see: pregnant), with a toddler who wouldn't go to bed, and a husband who worked 16 hour days and nights on the plant floor; the other half, I was postpartum, and tired, with a toddler who wouldn't go to bed, and a husband who worked 16 hour days and nights on the plant floor, AND A NEWBORN. I couldn't have told you what a hatbox even was, let alone remembered that I owned any.
And then we moved to Exile (3 years, 5 months, 28 days ago) (what. I like counting.) And we bought our first house. Which immediately began to fall apart. Before we'd been in the house for a whole week, we discovered a major plumbing problem: when we ran water for the washing machine, it did not drain. It backed up into the downstairs bathtub. The first estimate we got was $4000 to fix it. The second came from someone a co-worker of Goat Daddy's recommended, and was lower, but not by much. Being "we just closed on our house" poor, we got to do something we never dreamed we'd do after just one week in our first house: take out a home improvement loan. Of course, it being so close to the holidays, we had to wait until after Christmas for the plumber to have time to do the job. So we spent our first Christmas taking showers while standing in a large Rubbermaid container to catch the water, and then throwing them out the back door. Ditto doing dishes by hand. We still refer to this as "the Pioneer Christmas."
So it's Christmas, and I'm in a new town, with no friends, and Goat Daddy is of course working insane hours, and I'm second-guessing the whole home ownership thing, and we're a one-car family at this point, so I'm home all day with both goats, and I am only able to get out of bed every morning by reminding myself that at least it's not Iowa, right? I missed my mother violently. I wanted more than anything to stop failing so miserably at playing grownup, and just talk to her and have her tell me I could do this, and that I wasn't doing as badly as I thought.
One morning right after the New Year, we had a horrible morning. Whiny baby, whiny toddler, whiny Goat Mama. I finally put both of them down for a nap so I could go cry and wonder how I was ever going to save enough money to pay for their future "I had the worst mother ever" therapy. I sat on my bed, feeling sorry for myself and missing my Mom, and thinking of all the boxes I should be unpacking instead of wallowing. And I remembered.
It took me almost 3 hours of combing through moving boxes to find my hatbox with the envelopes. I destroyed the envelopes getting them open and skimmed each sheet of paper for only a second before I tossed it to the floor; I knew the handwriting I was looking for. I finally found it in the envelope I hadn't dared to hope it would be: "To the Happy Couple when they have their first baby."
There was only one line on the page. At first I was disappointed, wanting and needing more than that. And then I read it, and realized that unlike myself, Mom had a talent for succinctness; it said plenty in just one line:
Maybe now you know how much I love you.
Maybe now you know how much I miss her.

I get the impression that your family feels guilty that they are "more over it" than you.

Leonardo Dicaprio is smitten by hot blonde beauty Roxy Horner
Love is in the air. Again?
Hunky Hollywood actor Leonardo Dicaprio was spotted recently at the Men's French open final between Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic.
The 41 year old oscar winner sported a pulled down flat cap and and large sunshades and seemed to be keeping a low profile as he watched the two world's best tennis players battle it out.
There has been strong rumors about Dicaprio's love interest in Joey Essex's former girlfriend Roxy Horner.
But some believe it might be love this time for the notoriously single ladies man Dicaprio.
Some of his former lovers include Top Model Gisele Bundchen and Blake Lively and even sultry singer Rihanna has been linked to the Hollywood ladies man.
But it seems Dicaprio is really serious about blonde beauty Roxy Horner.
He flew to Europe admist a tight schedule to see her and took her to the Chiltern Firehouse and the Tape nightclub on Tuesday.
Strangely this is not the first time the award winning actor has come over to see Horner, actually he has done so frequently since February this year after he won the BAFTA for his unparalleled performance in the Revenant.
Shortly after that Dicaprio won his first oscar for the Revenant
With Wimbledon around the corner he might just have another excuse to come over and see her.
But as Dicaprio focused on the Men's French open final, he seemed calm and collected.
While speculation went wild about whether or not Leo has finally found love in model Roxy Horner.

Start the conversation
Stock market today, September 2, 2014: U.S. markets closed on Friday in the black. The S&P 500 sustained its gains last week, finishing the day above the vaunted 2,000 level. With U.S. markets closed on Monday in observance of Labor Day, investors will look forward to a heavy week of economic data, including the all-important August jobs report.
On the global front, geopolitical problems continue to evolve in Ukraine as Russian troops entered through the eastern border last week. New reports have placed Kazakhstan on high alert of future Russian pressure, heightening tensions between the Kremlin and the West. On Monday, investors placed a greater emphasis on actions of the European Central Bank (ECB) and whether Mario Draghi and his cohorts will begin an unprecedented stimulus program to stave off threats of regional deflation. Asian stocks dipped while the Euro fell to a near 12-month low.
Here's what you should know to make your Tuesday profitable:
- The IPO of the Year: The Wall Street Journal reports that the initial public offering process of the Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NYSE: BABA) could launch as soon as next week. The newspaper reports that public trading on the New York Stock Exchange could begin by Sept. 18 or 19. The Chinese e-commerce company is likely to carry a market cap as high as $130 billion. Shares of Yahoo! Inc. (Nasdaq: YHOO), which owns a 24% share in the company, are up 0.8% this morning as the IPO approaches.
- NFC Growth: Reuters reports that tech giant Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) will be partnering with several major credit-card processors to enable the iPhone as a primary source of payment for users. It has been a long path for near-field communications, but the iPhone 6 is gearing up to be an important tool for retail purchases and banking. The report indicates that Apple will partner with American Express Co. (NYSE: AXP), MasterCard Inc. (NYSE: MA), and Visa Inc. (NYSE: V).
- The Electric Boom: Shares of electric car manufacturer Telsa Motors Inc. (Nasdaq: TSLA) hit a new intraday high last week on news the company has forged an agreement to build 400 charging stations in China. The company is working with China United Network to build the stations in 120 Chinese cities at the outlets of China Telecom. The news is a boost for the market, where concerns over a lack of charging stations has affected the company's sales forecasts in the nation.

When I started my journey to promote Israel in all 50 States, in my mind, I figured it meant having a speaking engagement in each State I visit.
As time passed and things weren't going exactly as I planned, I started accepting the fact that the universe had different plans for me, and that maybe the short encounters and one on one conversations with individuals I had along the way, are much more impactful than speaking to a room full of people.
In Charleston South Carolina, I couchsurfed at Amy Yvonne Hassinger. A beautiful soul that devotes her life to helping others. From voluntary work with her church, to tutoring troubled kids in school, and even teaching kids from the projects how to swim for free (she owns a swimming school).
I was fascinated with Amy's life and when she invited me to go with her to service on Sunday, i happily accept the invitation.
It was the first time I visited a service in a church and it was a spiritual experience no doubt… As a Jew, I was happy to see the pastor reading parts from the old testament and seeing the star of David on the screens (and on people's necklaces) time and time again.
After a wonderful few days with Amy, I continued my journey.
We haven't spoke since, but today, I see a notification saying Amy mentioned me in a post. This post below.
I have no idea whether my encounter with Amy had anything to do with this post or not. But for me, this feels like a closure, this feels like I did what I had to do in South Carolina

Spray Tan Tips
Before your Spray Tan Session
The most important thing before getting a spray tan is to exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate. Exfoliating before a spray tan will greatly improve the quality of your tan and will ensure that the spray tanning solution applies evenly.
Pay particular attention to the dry areas of your body like your elbows and knees as well as the ankles and your feet.
If your feet and toes are extra dry you can apply a little moisturizer to these areas just before your spray tan and this will stop a lot of the spray tan solution sticking to all the dry skin and making them look much darker.
Exfoliating will also make your tan last longer and fade more evenly as it removes any excess dead skin cells and leaves you with soft, fresh skin.
Exfoliating gloves and loofahs are the best to use for this purpose.
Extra spray tan tip: Shaving is best done between 8 and 24 hours prior to your spray tan and waxing must be done at least 24 hours prior.
To your Spray Tan Session
Do not wear any moisturiser or deodorant, make-up or perfume to your spray tanning session and wear your Kaf.Tanned Tanning & Fashion Apparel! Comfortable and effortless, this will ensure that your tan remains as flawless as possible until you shower.
The first hour is the most crucial because this is when most of the tan develops so our garments are the perfect solution for you.
Whilst your tan is developing avoid any activity that would cause sweating as this could result in lines and uneven tanning.
After Spray Tan Care and Maintenance
When you are ready to shower, wash with a mild moisturising shower gel, preferably SLS free. Normal soaps can often be a little harsh and strip the skin and in doing so remove your tan a lot quicker.Always pat your skin dry, do not rub the skin.
The most important thing after a spray tan is to hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. This will greatly improve the life and the look of your spray tan. Tanning extenders can also help extend the life of your tan and these are often sold where you go to get your spray tan from.
Extra spray tan tip: Swimming in chlorinated pools may contribute to your spray tan fading quicker than normal.
Do you have a spray tan booked soon? Be ready for it and get your tanning apparel online here!

In The Cut: 911 Porsche Modified by Singer posted at: 26/11/14 @ 05:11 | « back to main
This week on In the Cut, (my segment on The Eclectic Cafe with Bonnie Grice on NPR Station 88.3 wppb), I spoke about the 911 Porsche re-imagined by Singer. The 911 Porsche has been my favorite car since I was about 5 years old. Through my lens, it is the most beautiful car in the world. It has such a definable aesthetic that has stood the test of time, and there is something to be said for longevity.
Singer Vehicle Design has taken the Porsche 911 to an entirely different level. It is nothing short of a work of art. Taking vintage models ,(air cooled era 1963-98), and completely overhauling every aspect of the car with modern, custom, state of the art technology. At the same time, it still looks like a vintage porsche. It is retro modern. If you have about a half of a million dollars, you can own one. If not you can just appreciate an automobile that is as close to perfection as you will probably ever find.
A video below and some really nice pictures of the 911 Porsche re-imagined by Singer.

I. Love. Christmas. Not the way normal people do, like way more. My favorite movie ever made is Home Alone, which I beg to watch throughout the year and quote constantly. I decorate the house like it's a Christmas amusement park. I mean, see for yourself:
Every year, our tree is named after a beloved celebrity or character. This year, say hello to Treesa Simpson!
I have so much Christmas music on my iPod that people make fun of me. I get excited all year for Christmas, and even when it's over I still love listening to holiday music! So, my December quilt mixtape is full of the wonderful Christmas music I've been listening to all month while sewing holiday gifts. The greatest Christmas music gift this year truly was Sia's new holiday album, which I adore to the North Pole and back. But this mix starts off with the king of my Christmas music loving heart - Sufjan Stevens. Make some cocoa, bundle under a blanket, and listen to some Christmas and New Year's songs while relaxing because all your holiday crafting is done for the year!
Note: Please ignore the sexual predator monster at the beginning of the video above. Once you get past him, you'll get to one of my very favorite Christmas songs!
BONUS! Here's a new song from Sufjan Stevens. It's not a Christmas or New Year's song, but it's still wonderful and winter-ey.
