As most of you know, I was recently visiting Australia a few weeks ago. While I was there, I met did a little bit of shopping.. (okay a lot) and mostly with local shops and designers. One in particular was Kerry from Harlow- which is a Melbourne based plus size brand. She has a unique street wear style that I really like, and my favorite piece has to be The Endless Love Cardicoat!

Now, I know in the states it's summer, and you can't wrap your brain around wearing a cardigan or pants for that matter, but they have other cute stuff that's warm weather appropriate.
Check them out!

.EveryBODY is Flawless.
When Gabi & Nadia first approached me with the idea of recreating Beyoncé's "flawless" video, I was filled with a mix of emotions. The song and the video is amazing of course (almost everything Bey does is!) so of course part of me was excited to be included in the project. Three very different plus size women recreating and reinterpreting such a positive, empowering piece.
But I was also hesitant. How would it be received? How would other people view it? I know even the original was slated by some for being too self congratulatory. Those people had missed the feminist undertones that made it such an anthem. She was putting a metaphoric middle finger up to the haters, the internet trolls, the bullies. Something I definitely identify with. But could I do any justice to the original? Did I have anything to add to it? I can't even dance!
So I drew on the strength and fearless spirit of not just Bey herself, but the two other fabulous women involved. We spent 12 hours shooting this video, unrehearsed, and I think it's obvious how much fun we had! So here we are. Three diverse plus size bloggers/models/feminists coming together with one common goal: To show that we are not competitors, and we are all doing on own thing in the SAME community and that everyone should be celebrated. This is OUR way of giving an 'eff you' to the critics that say we promote obesity, that we have no place in the fashion industry or that just because we are a certain size means we are fundamentally flawed.
No, FUCK THAT. We all have flaws, it's part of being human but we are so much more. And so we decided to come together and spread that message to you - and to everyone else. As women, we spend so much time ripping each other apart, when the reality is we are stronger together than we are divided. We all want the same thing: to be valued, appreciated, respected.

.Eff Your Beauty Standards merchandise is here!
As most of you know, I'm the founder of the #EffYourBeautyStandards movement which was created in 2013 on Instagram as my way of telling society to 'Eff off' and stop telling me what I "should wear", etc. I encouraged others to join in, post their photos and stories- Now, nearly 400,000 shares later from women (and a few men) around the world, it's taken on a life of it's own. It's changed my life in ways that I can't even accurately express. I am so excited to finally have merchandise to further help spread the word, that "Being fabulous isn't limited to the size you wear!"
My Shirts range from S-4x, and I love being able to include ALL sizes in my movement. The shirts will be presale only starting from April 30- May 7th, due to my busy traveling schedule. I plan to have them for sale permanently in the next couple months. Note, my shirts do run a bit big, and the 4x could fit a 5x thus why I chose this line of shirts. I would love to eventually find a manufacturer that would allow me to make bigger sizes to accommodate more people. In the mean time, this is a good start!
Part of all my sales from my Eff Your Beauty Standards merchandise will be donated to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. You may wonder, why did I choose them? Well, simple. My mother and myself are survivors of domestic violence and my mom was left paralyzed because of the attempt on her life. If it wasn't for the help of organizations like NCADV, I don't know what we would have done. I want to help other women and children in those situations the way we were helped.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout my career, and the new fans and friends- I couldn't have done any of this without your love!

.OOTD- I'm no saint.
Being fashionable and plus size is often a challenge, and you have to get creative with clothing, and most importantly, not to read the size on the labels. Not for self preservation, but because it doesn't matter what brand something is or size, if it looks like it will fit- try it!
With that said, I recently fell in love with All Saints, and after years of wishing I could wear their clothing (that isn't plus size AT ALL), I finally had a chance to when my friend gifted me some of their tops. To my surprise not only did it fit, it was was comfortable and in my opinion..I looked good! Plus I love a good a-symmetrical top.
Again, going with what I said about not reading labels previously, the vest is a large from the straight size of Forever 21 that I patched, studded and made it into my own rocker vest. I paired it with some leggings from Torrid and, last but not least, what rocker outfit is complete without leather boots?! My boots are from Simply Be and I'm in love! Casual rocker look for a gloomy and perfect LA day.

Invite My Kid to Your Birthday Party ... Or Else
Momlogic's Julie: When a kid from my son's class came up to him and said "I'm going to Caleb's birthday party Friday," I wanted to cringe, scream, or punch somebody ... because my son hadn't been invited.
I don't know why mothers of second graders feel it's okay to invite a few people from class to a birthday party but not the entire class.
Don't they know that other kids will talk about the party, and make the ones who weren't invited feel excluded?
Don't they realize that this will get back to the parents, who will then feel ill will toward the parents who didn't deem their kids "worthy"?
I brought this up in a staff meeting, and a few moms said I needed to "toughen up." Life's not fair, they said, and your kid needs to get used to it.
Believe me ... I know life is not fair. But I don't know why my son has to learn that lesson in second grade. Isn't that a little young to adopt a "life sucks, then you die" philosophy?
The rule in my house is that my kids must invite the entire class or none of the class to their party, period. No, I don't exactly revel in the idea of that many kids invading my house, but when I think of the alternative ... some kid feeling like mine did on Friday, when he was told all about the party he wasn't invited to, I know it's worth the extra effort. In fact, I couldn't live myself if I excluded even one classmate from the guest list.
One mom I know said that maybe Caleb's mom couldn't afford to invite the entire class. Moms, if you can't afford to invite the whole class to the party, don't have the damn party! That's my opinion.
What do you think?
First of all, no one said one has to invite every child in the class. The problem is when you deliberately leave one or two children out. That is not acceptable when you know that those children will find out despite your covert efforts to prevent it. If it requires being covert, it is WRONG. Why anyone would want to be a part of such a scenario is beyond me. I only know they are the horrible people who make bullying a part of life for young kids, as they themselves are bullies. They don't have enough sense or humanity to teach kindness. You moms who say life isn't fair are absolutely not getting the point and are obviously among the moms who think it is okay to treat others poorly. Of course life isn't fair, but why do think it is necessary for 7 and 8 year-old children to find that out so early? Our children grow up fast and having them feel loved, safe and secure for as long as possible is not wrong. Unfortunately there are always those who care nothing for others, only for themselves. There are way too many of them!
well, my 8 year old was not invited to his "best friend's" birthday party, claiming he "forgot" him. I did not make a big deal about it when my son told me, but I could cry for him as he is clearly dissapointed. I understand that there are many reasons children are not invited, but in some instances, such as this one, it does seem cruel. It is not a matter of teaching children that life is not fair, but a matter of teaching them that we sometimes have the ability to make life a little more fair.
I absolutely agree with 'fanceefree'. In fact the same thing happened to my 7 year old. His best friend didn't have him on the invite list. These kids play together, eat lunch together and have play dates. Only the play dates are usually at my house, because there is more things to do. However, back to the topic - my child didn't look hurt at first until he said 'that's okay and he understands'. So what I told my child is that "I hope your best friend is so understanding as you are when he doesn't get an invite to your birthday since your parents will be taking you to Virginia Beach to see the ocean for the first time." I will tell all of you mom's that hurt for your kids broken heart - life has a funny way of coming back around and biting you right in the behind. And that's exactly what happens down the road of life. And I know that my son isn't going to miss having a birthday party, because he was the one that made the choice of going to the beach or having another party, himself. In fact I really like the birthday trip better than the stressed out worry stuff that comes with all these parties. I'm sick and tired of playing the politically correct game and/or the bag of excuses that comes with these parties. And I agree that 'life isn't fair' so there is no need to have an empty headed bubble head tell me different. However, those same parents that utter those words can't for one second tell me that they don't/wouldn't feel the same if their kid was just dumped on. So don't pan handle that stuff to all these other parents. They DO have the right to be upset, it's their child that is hurting. OMG, what an insensitive thing to say, 'life isn't fair'. No duh….
All you parents have the right to be upset if your child is hurting and crying their eyes out. I do have a hint (suggestion) for all of you. Forget the parties, stress and dirty looks - go for the birthday trip. Some where your child would like to go or something they would like to do that is within reason. And you all get to relax. We are talking about the next birthday trip - a fossil dig - How cool is that!
I love that idea about the birthday trip. It is less stressful to plan a vacation then a birthday party. I talked this over with my husband and he absolutely loves the idea. Our daughter is going to be 8 years old and is into wolves. I did some research and found out that there is a wolf reserve in Michigan on one of the islands. It's where people can go and study and watch these animals in their natural environment. How cool is that!!! It's safe for the people and these animals. So with parental approval, we talked to her about it and she LOVED IT. We gave her a choice to go see the wolves or have a regular birthday party. Guess what her choice was - HOWLLLLLING!!! Bye Bye birthday party this year and all the stress that comes with it. I spoke to my sister about it as well and she is on board. She is having a birthday party for her son and was up set when he came home crying because some kids are going around school telling other kids not to come to his party. When she spoke with the parents of these kids the response she received was shocking. Those parents told her that kids will be kids and if her son was liked by other kids in the class then he should still have a nice turn out. Can you believe that. So she tells me that my nephew is into NASCAR and next year they will be doing the 'birthday trip' and taking him to the track. Maybe these kids birthday parties aren't really for the kids any more, but more so for the adults and how popular their kids can be. Maybe it really has nothing to do about the popularity of the kids themselves, but the parents popularity instead. HOW SAD!
Well here we go and another year of not returning a birthday invite for my son. I guess it's the economy or invite every how many kids depends on the childs age - who knows any more. My son's birthday is in the middle of summer and when those invitations go out every kids shows up. However, when it's the other kids birthday - well my son never seems to make the cut. These other kids know my son and play at school with him and their parents seen to have no problem with dropping there kid over to my house for a play date with my son. SO WHAT GIVES!!! I volunteer down at my son's school and have some kids coming up and asking me if my son will have another birthday party this summer and can they come. I just want to say back to them 'well I don't know - my son never received an invite to your birthday party after you have been to his twice.' But I don't say anything - I just smile and say well I don't know if we will have one this year - we haven't talked about it yet. I really like the lady that wrote about the 'birthday trip'. I think that we will NOT have a birthday party with a lot of unappreciated children and their parents and just go on a trip of his choice and interest. I guess those parents will have to find something else to do with their kids during the summer instead of dropping them off at my house. My son loves fishing and has never seen the ocean, so my husband and I are taking him to Florida and do some deep sea fishing. OH YEAH!!!!
Do you remember the kids that gave you hard time in junior high? What do you think happened to them when they grew up? Became better and kind?
Nope. They became parents that enjoy the same things by teaching them to their kids and observing your misery.
And yes, it is too early for the 2nd grade to learn that 'life is not fair'. However I explained my kid back in the kindergarden that mean kids grow up and become mean parents and teach their kids the art of being mean.
It hurts if you are the only one, or one of two or three in the same class not invited. Have some compassion, and if you can "afford" to have all but one or two kids (usually at 7 or 8 they invite only the same gender) be a good sport and invite the last one or two. A couple more slices of cake means smaller pieces for the others. You can buy a cake mix at a discount store quite inexpensively. The kids don't need to go home with a favor that costs a lot. Get a craft book at the library and have them make something.
While you're there get a book with appropriate games/activites.
I am a grandma and former elementary teacher, and speak from experience and caring about the feelings of little people.
I am in total agreement with 'fanceefree' - 'revised the truth' - 'Loran' - 'Angry Mom' - 'just a mom' and 'Ohio Grandma'. The excuses that parents make about reciprocating invitations to birthday parties is not only pathetic, but lame. All the rules to keep their kids parties small, but they seem to have no problem sending their kid to as many parties for other children in the class or neighborhood. If you can not truly afford large parties then you better think about cutting down how many parties your kid goes to in a year. Or you might come off looking like a mooch. We were in the situation of poor finances and couldn't afford a large birthday party. So I told my kids that they should really think about who is inviting them and would they be upset if they didn't get an invitation back from them. I made my kids choose carefully about whose parties they responded to and for the most part they did a great job. They only picked the kids that they play with often and it all worked out for the best. The kids even had a good time. There were girls and boys at the party and not just an 'all girl party'. Which in my opinion is just another parent excuse of keeping it cheap. I also kept the cost down by doing a lot of the baking myself. And instead of pop we went with a mixture of frozen concentrated juices. WOW - the kids loved it. I think that for the most part it's the parents trying to out do each other with the 'wow' factor. If you don't have enough time to make crafts there is always the dollar store or catalog companies. I used the Oriental Trading Company and bought so much for so little. I even made up a bean bag tossing game. Just buy cheap discontinued fabric and a bag of dried beans and sew the squares yourself. For the rings we just used hula hoops. Don't leave kids out because you want to go cheap buy purchasing expensive decorations, cake from a bakery or shopping at expensive toy/sports stores before you do some checking around. After all - THESE PARTIES ARE FOR THE KIDS AND NOT PARENTS OUT DOING EACH OTHER.
It's heartbreaking. Get this one…my daughter has been friends with this set of twins for years. This year, they at school handing out invitations to a bunch of girls and not my daughter! She asks where her invite is and is told that she's not invited! The worst part is that she still wants to play with these two girls! Kids are cruel, but does the mother have a heart? She knows they're very close…play every day. There is no money issue. Makes me sick. I always make sure everyone is included.
Mums are Mums but also people. Some people are nice, some people are selfish sh*ts. It's a rule for people, it's a rule for Mums.
It happens to my 8 years old son just a few days ago when this boy invited almost the whole class except for a few including my son… I feel so bad when I see the hurt in my son's eyes. It's not about birthday party anymore, it's about why he doesn't like me….I used to invite my son's whole class to his birthday party, after this incident, I learned that you don't have to be nice to everyone. When someone hurt you like this, the way to get back is to not invite the same kid to my son's birthday party this year.
Daniele is completely correct - you should do WHATEVER you have to do to get the money!
It is simply bad manners to not invite everyone in your child's class when the children are very young, because the kids will talk. If you cannot afford to invite everyone — and really a party can be as expensive or as cheap as you want no matter how many you invite — have a family party. Blaming excluding others on the cost is unacceptable and sounds like a weak excuse. If the five extra cupcakes are going to send you into bankruptcy, you probably shouldn't be having kids anyway.
It's easy to say you can't invite all of the children. But if your child was one of the kids who heard all about the party 7 wasn't invited you may feel differently. Especially if your child is never or almost never invited. I definately say - invite the whole class - it's excruciationg to be either the child or the parent of the child who doesn't get invited. I know not everyone will do this - but if a few parents do invite all of the class - at least some kids who otherwise woulldn't have been invited get to go!
I am a Dad of a child with pdd-nos. He is in first grade. He is a good kid but has some social issues. It really makes me angry that he doesn't get invited to parties. We invite EVERY kid in class. It is rude and selfish of parents to not invite all children. It amazes me that parents can be so mean and heartless!

It has been over a year since my 2nd grade son has been invited to ANY birthday party of classmates or other friends. His birthday parties range from 8-10 kids. The invites don't seem to be reciprocated. He is starting to notice. What can I possibly do? This breaks my heart.
simple solution if you cannot " afford" to invite every child in your kids class to his/ her birthday party is to hold the party every other year!!!!!!!! I think it is insane to exclude young children. I do think though that by the time a child reaches the 4th or 5th grade it should be the time for them to learn how to deal with a little rejection…..
I totally blame the mindless parents on this issue. When my child was in first and second grade the birthday parties (of who gets an invitation and who doesn't) were used as a tool by kids to try and control or hurt the feelings of other kids. Check this situation out - 'My child gets an invitation to attend a fellow classmates birthday party. Part of the treat given out to all the kids was a T-shirt that said, "I was invited to (b-day kids name) birthday party!" The next day at school the kids that went to that party were to wear that shirt. I told my child that you will not wear that shirt to school, because it is not right nor is it nice to brag to the kids that didn't get an invitation to the party. Can you believe that? I thought the parent went a little to far. There were a lot of moms angry at the fact that their children saw the shirt and realized that they didn't get an invite. So those moms had to deal with a crying kid. We now use the shirt to check the oil in our cars.
Here is something else that we noticed, was the ridiculous "all girl parties". Yet, I see those same girls getting upset when they don't get invited or reciprocated back to a boys birthday party. We sent the girls a strong message one year. My son invited every boy from 3 second grade classes to a 'stag' winter party. There was sledding, ice skating, fort building, snowball fights and plenty of popcorn and hot chocolate to go around. And then we had a bond fire. It was the talk in the school for a couple of weeks. I even had girls asking me 'Why weren't they invited?' I just simply told them that my son had the right to have his all boy party just like 'you girls' and your all girl party. You can see the light bulb going on in their heads. My point is, shouldn't the parents have explain this to their little princesses that excluding the boys from your b-day party could and would get you uninvited to theirs? Or how about this old saying, "What comes around goes around?!"
Some of us can't afford 20 to 30 children at a party.
Sorry your son missed out, they'll be plenty of other parties he'll get invited to I'm sure.
I doubt my kids will be friends with the whole class anyway, 5 friends and that's it. Plus they have cousins as well.

Beat the crap out of your gadgets much? Then you might want to take a look at Panasonic's just announced Toughbook H1 Field. Yes, it's another touchscreen computer, a tablet to be exact, but what really makes this thing 3.4lb machine attractive, aside from its 'speak and spell' form factor (kidding), is the military spec rating of MIL-STD-810 and IP65. Under the hood is a 1.86Ghz Intel Atom Z540 processor, a 64GB SSD, WiFi b/g, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, Global 3G connectivity, a 2 megapixel camera, RFID reader, 2GB of RAM and sunlight viewable 10.4-inch XGA touchscreen.

Q: If I am unable to make the sessions for a week, can I still participate in the challenge?
A: Yes! We know sometimes people can't make sessions, this is why you get your home exercise programs. When you can't make the sessions – you can do these instead. You can continue to follow the nutritional advice and recipes when you can't come as well so you're not really missing out

Acumen Partners with Planning Planet
Jul 13, 2012
Acumen, a leader in project management software, has announced a new partnership with Planning Planet, a forum-based project management community website. As part of this partnership, Acumen will help to provide insight into project analytics to the Planning Planet community through informative events, the Acumen Fuse® group and forum, and services such as the new Schedule Index™ Calculator.
Schedule Index Calculator on Planning Planet
The Schedule Index™ Calculator is a free web utility for project benchmarking and quality analysis embedded directly into the Planning Planet website. Planning Planet visitors can upload their schedule and immediately learn their quality score, rank in the global project community, and percent likelihood of success.
The calculator uses the Fuse Schedule Index™, a compilation of proven schedule checks to analyze and score Primavera and Microsoft Project schedules. Then, by accessing the global database of Acumen Cloud, the Schedule Index score is compared to thousands of similar projects.
The entire analysis and comparison takes only seconds, and the results are delivered in straightforward numbers. Once users have seen where they stand in the rankings, a high-level project report available directly from the tool allows them to see exactly what is driving their score.
A Strong Partnership
PlanningPlanet.com is designed to facilitate open discussion and dedicated to helping project professionals network online. They feel their partnership with Acumen is an extension of that mission.
"We're excited to have a partner and a sponsor that wants to help the project professionals that visit our site and not just reach them," said Theo D'Orgee, marketing executive at Planning Planet. "Giving the Planning Planet community access to the latest and greatest technology designed for their success is just the beginning of our partnership."
The introduction of Schedule Index Calculator to Planning Planet offers true insight into the quality of a schedule compared with its peers. Acumen Cloud's database already hosts thousands of projects, and with the advent of Schedule Index Calculator, this number will continue to climb, making Acumen Cloud more robust and accurate with each analysis.
"The next step for Acumen is broadening the use of project analytics," said Acumen CEO, Dr. Dan Patterson. "The Schedule Index Calculator will provide valuable information that can help project professionals execute better projects, which in turn betters the industry."
The Schedule Index Calculator is currently live on Planning Planet. The code is available to embed on any website here.

Different from what?
Lots of people use 35mm in MF toy cameras (check those hipster "lomo" sites); I figured it was because perhaps they did not have money for or access to 120 film. This makes sense for kids playing around with a Holga or a Diana which you can buy for $12.
But it appears the OP uses 35mm in his Bronica fairly regularly, too. I just don't understand why. Wouldn't it be a lot easier, and have a better final product, to just use 120?
She was...in fact I shot her again just last year when she was 66 I believe. And the shot I linked of her was shot around the same time Judy Dater did the one of her and Imogen Cunningham together. Same area too.
Do Americans in the digital/instagram age now have a fetish for film, which film photographs themselves are not sufficient to satisfy unless it's patently obvious that they were shot with "OMG REAL FILM"? Serious question.
If no one ever put 35mm in their medium format camera, the world would never have known images like the one posted in the OP. Would the world be better off they didn't exist? Is it up to you to say?
I shoot digital to make money, I shoot film to have fun.
And as a 49 year old kid, I still love using my Holga 120s too.
And just so ya know, I don't really care if the picture is perfect or not when shooting film. Film is imperfect by nature, that's one of the things that make it great.
I've tried the Tetenal C-41 kit just once and got a lot of grain. I shoot so little color that it's often just easier to take it to a pro lab several blocks away to have them process and scan. I do have a slew of Portra and Fuji 400H in the freezer, so maybe I'll do some autumn foliage and buy another kit.
I'd definitely recommend playing around with it some more. The first few rolls I did were less than stellar, also, though I'm still not exactly sure why. After a color spree the past few weeks, I'm really happy with the results I've been getting.
This is a scan from Portra 160, 15 second exposure:
And a crop:
They are almost always landscape shots. No sense in wasting film that's going to get cropped down anyway. And the sprocket holes aren't always there - they are sometimes cropped out as well.
I don't know about the instagrammers (I never left film entirely), but for me its the superior dynamic range, exposure latitude and size of the film that sets it apart from digital.
Those are a lot finer grained than what I was getting with my first couple of iterations. Maybe you're right though, I should give it another shot.
Now that daylight savings is done, I can start printing again. I have to lug my Beseler 23C XL Dual Dichro upstairs to the bathroom to make prints. It's a real pain in the backside.
What you need to do is sell your place and buy something with an extra bathroom that you can subvert permanently.
Priorities man, priorities.
Yeah, Tony, that would be a bitch to deal with off and on. I converted a storage room at the west end of the studio into a DR. I don't have running water in it yet, but that will come.
It's hard for me to continue to edit my day to day stuff, because I want to get in there and print. What a kewl feeling to dodge and burn, and see that image come up on the paper in the soup..
I've only printed (1) 8x10 so far, the rest are 5x7's, because I wanted to get a good work flow and process grooved first before moving to larger prints.
As you get into more refined, complicated printing techniques, you will find that, to a point at least, larger prints will be easier to make. This is especially true when it comes to selective dodging and burning of smaller details. I printed some 8x10 for the first time in forever for a friend of mine and was continually frustrated by the lack of room, where as an 11x14 seems just right. Also, as the head is further away, your exposure times are longer. If doing split grade printing (especially if combined with a dodge or burn move) it's easier to divide up the longer time into sub exposures during which time you will be completing a secondary task.
For example, if your base exposure is 40s but you want to lighten the faces on two people by one stop, then you would have to dodge each of their faces for 20s. So you set your timer for 20 instead of 40 and do each move independently. The 20s exposure allows you to to move your dodge tool around enough, long enough, that you don't leave any tell tale traces of the move (unless of course someone is familiar with darkroom printing). On the other hand, if your base exposure is 10s, you now have to split that up into two 5s intervals. This can also be done well if you have a bit of practice under your belt.
But what if you don't want to lighten the faces by a whole stop. What if you want them a half stop brighter? Or a quarter stop? Well, now you're dealing in increments of 2.5s or less. I don't care who you are, that becomes difficult. A 1.25 second dodge is VERY difficult to do well.
I'm loving the hell out of my RBs. I like a 180mm for portraits n that 50 is just so sweet.. focusing from 4" to infinity.. yum! Beautiful razor sharp images.. count the hairs on a fly's ass!
I see you are all setled in Phill.. soon they'll have to crow bar you out of the darkroom?
Nice work!
Damn that's NICE!!
Very expressive, loved it.
This is beautiful. It needs nothing else.

Everyone gets a little jealous.
[Gerard's POV]
I peeked into Mikey's room, he was asleep on his bed, his limbs sprawled out over his sheets. He was a really horrible sleeper. I tip-toed my way in, my eyes darting about the ridiculously clean room. He had all his clothes put away, his desk items set up in an organised fashion and everything else fixed to perfection. The complete opposite of my room. I smiled at the thought.
Mikey looked so calm and peaceful as he slept, nothing like what he is while conscious.
I hopped on his bed, smiling down at him mischievously. I brought my face close to his, pressing my lips right against his ear before screaming, "Mikey!!!"
"Huh? Wha--" he pitched up, looking crazy with his hair in all sorts of angles.
I doubled over with laughter.
"What the fuck, Gerard?" he shouted, looking royally pissed. I laughed even harder, "You are such a dick, you know that?"
"Oh, I've been told. Believe me," my laughter soon subsided as Mikey rested his head back on his pillow and turned his back to me.
I sat quietly, staring at his bare back.
"So, where's Frank?" I asked, trying to sound as casual as possible.
Usually, when Frank spent the night, he wouldn't leave til the afternoon on the following day. It was only 10:20 am, now.
Mikey sighed, "He said something about having to go see some girl at his house or something,"
Girl? What girl? Does he have girlfriend? I thought to myself.
"I don't fucking know Gerard, just leave me alone," Mikey replied, sounding tired and angry.
I didn't even realize I'd asked that out loud.
"Oh, alright," was all I could say.
I felt something hot rise from the pit of my stomach and burn the back of my throat.
I was jealous.
And I don't even know why. I need to get a grip on myself. I'm letting this whole I-really-like-Frank-but-I'll-never-ever-admit-to-it thing get to my head. This has to stop.
I raised myself off of Mikey's bed and left his room.
I'm okay. I am not jealous. I am not upset.
I am perfectly fine.
I'm okay with this. I'm just going to go to my room and relax... maybe even listen to some music, because I am perfectly and totally fine.
Oh, who the fuck am I kidding. I freaking pissed.
Shwell.... it's been quite a long time. Sorry for the wait and sorry for this crappy chapter. I just have to get this part over with before I can get to the real drama =)
I hope you guys don't hate me.
From now on, I vow to update every Wednesday and Saturday.

Easy and flavorful dish that would be suitable for entertaining.
Sautéed Chicken with Olive Tapenade

You obviously have to like olives to like this dish, but even my "black-olives-only-please" husband LOVED this recipe and requested it make frequent occurrences. For the Castelvetrano I used another Sicilian olive, Nocellara, because I simply could not find the other. Served with sauteed brussels sprouts and a side salad with herb marinated mozzarella cheese and roasted red bell peppers.

Shopping is my cardio!
Graphic tees = all the rage
Think of any saying, and it is probably available on a t-shirt, tank top or crop top. The bolder, the better. Shopping is my Cardio; Go F%$k your #selfie; I woke up like this; Drop out; I was born in the wrong generation; - to name a few of the choices in store now.
This growing trend is super prevalent during the summer months, with tank tops being the #1 seller. I expect this trend will stay strong into the fall months with short sleeve and long sleeve T-shirts heading the way.
T-shirts have come a long way. They are super soft and cozy. I almost want to use the word, "plush" to describe them. Available in a variety of styles from asymetrical hems, to boat necks, to plunging backs. Made of lightweight rayon with spandex makes them wrinkle free and comfortable to wear. Available in an assortment of colors, but the bolder the print, the better. Keep your eyes on the beaches this summer for sayings ranging from philosophical to down-right rude!
Coachella Coachella!
What began as a chill, relaxed musical atmosphere has slowly morphed into one of the biggest fashion events of the year, prompting trendy, style-conscious ladies to plan their Coachella wardrobe well ahead of time. The festival is now known to set the stage for what to wear and which trends to follow for the rest of the summer season.
The fashion rules at Coachella are as follows:
- Experimental.
- Celebrities and nobodies equally outrageous.
- Floral prints, tie dye, fringe, flower crowns, crop tops and bindis/other facial jewels, cut off shorts, band tees.
- Over the top: full on costumes, a performer wearing a sheer mesh bodysuit with nothing but pasties underneath.
- "Hippie" & "Boho chic".
- Lots of head gear.. flowers/flower crowns, jeweled headbands, floppy hats, fedoras, feathers and full-on Native American inspired head dresses.
- Bright printed maxi dresses, maxi skirts and palazzo pants are examples of the flowy, hippie-esque styles.
If you missed Coachella 2014, there is always 2015 to look forward to.

Coming up daisies
I recently spent a week immersed in the fashion scene while attending the largest fashion trade show in the world. It's called Magic Market Week and is held in Las Vegas twice per year. Celebrities make an appearance here when they launch a fashion line. (We were fortunate enough to see Fergie close up). The show is huge, so you really need to be at the right place at the right time. The show is open to retailers only and closed to the public. It draws more than 80,000 people to Vegas during MAGIC week. After Vegas, I made a two day stop in Los Angeles to shop the Fashion District.
If I had to choose one trend that stuck out in my mind the most this Spring, it would be the daisy trend. Daisy print tops, shorts, rompers, dresses and pants. Accessories such as daisy headbands, daisy statement necklaces, daisy earrings, and all things daisy. There is something very serene about a bunch of daisies. Reminding me of a picnic in a park, this is a sweet feminine look that can be worn by any woman. Add a daisy accessory or go all out in a daisy print dress.
The 1960's Flower Child look is trending big time this Spring/Summer, and that is how the daisies come into play. Round frame sunglasses, crop tops, fringe tops, high waisted skirts and shorts, flowy printed pants, crochet bags and kimonos.
All three Frakas locations are overflowing with daisies and other amazing Spring fashions. Stop by and let one of our stylists help you find your inner 60's girl.

An unfashionable disaster
It is with mixed emotions I write this column today, as I am departing from the Philippines after joining my son in disaster relief volunteer work.
Working six days per week tearing apart damaged homes, sawing through rebar with a dull saw, sledge hammering through cement columns, eating rationed food, I depart with tears in my eyes.
I was humbled to be a part of a team that has only one thing on the agenda.........helping those in need. I lived at a camp with 63 other people from countries all over the world. I was doing work that is pretty much polar opposite to the Fashion Industry. For once, nobody asked me what I did for a living; that oh so common ice breaker of the Western World. I was just the lady from Canada, and "Mom" to the team leader (and a few others who adopted me as "mom").
Day 1 on the job site was quite intimidating, as we arrived at a large house which was now in a pile on the ground - a crew of six with a wheel barrow and a few hand tools. I was overwhelmed and didn't know where to begin. Finger nails cut off, and work gloves on, I dug in after being told we should expect to be finished at this job site by the end of the day. (Including sorting the debris into "good wood", "bad wood" and a pile for tin. Leaving the space empty and ready for rebuilding one day).
The home owner is there to tell us he was born in this house 65 years ago. I find his cell phone, her eye glasses and other personal effects in the rubble. There is a fine line to be drawn here! A fun-loving, youthful group of volunteers will keep the laughing and joking to a minimum as they complete the task, out of respect for the home owners. No high fives about completing the work until we are out of sight.
Day 4 presented me with a young teen boy who was watching us work. He was quite chatty, and happy to see us. He told us he lost his mother, father and sister. What does one say?! A hug is the best solution at such a helpless time.
At the end of a tiring work day we all climb onto the Jeepney for the ride back to camp. So much gratitude is felt as we drive along. Children running after us screaming "Haaaaaay", locals waving, signs erected stating "Thank You".
Philippines disaster relief
Each day bringing emotion to the volunteers, and then when it's time to go home, it seems that all the experiences from each day come to the surface. I can not put this feeling into words, I can only encourage you to apply to be a volunteer in a needy country. I completely understand why my son can't leave and "NEEDS" to be in the Philippines until the project is wrapped up. I will be cutting off my fingernails and donning unfashionable work clothes again. Soon!
Much love to all the volunteers at All Hands Project Bohol, and to the beautiful , gracious people of The Philippines.

Homeschooling Comes of Age in College Admission - Part 2
- Friday, January 27, 2006
Homeschool families have more options at their disposal than in previous decades, and many include elements such as courses at local colleges, small group instruction through homeschool co-ops, and internships in their curriculum. Homeschoolers are also learning to use SAT II subject tests, letters of recommendation from supplemental instructors, and online resources to their advantage, all of which give admission personnel confidence that homeschooled students can succeed in a variety of academic environments. As Kalamazoo's Carroll puts it, "We see greater involvement beyond the home instruction, and this is a departure from ten years ago."
Ellen Goulding, Associate Director of Admission at Colorado College in Colorado Springs, clarifies, "Certain areas of study can be very hard to assess--especially science, math, and foreign languages. When a student says he's had chemistry, what does that mean? Does it include lab experiences? What topics were covered? Sometimes homeschooling families get concerned that colleges put significant weight on standardized test scores and college courses, but it is essential that we be able to put a student's education in a more national context. When combined with a detailed description of what they studied at home, it helps us judge how well prepared a student is. When we can tell that preparation is there, we are very interested in those students--not specifically because they are homeschooled students, but because they are great students."
The message is clear: opportunities abound for homeschoolers who can demonstrate their academic accomplishments and present their unique qualifications. As homeschoolers become more confident in presenting the benefits of their education, colleges are listening.
Aaron Basko is Director of Admission Services at Franklin and Marshall College, where he serves as the homeschooling liaison. Aaron has taught seminars for homeschool groups on college and career planning and is currently a contributing writer for Campus Life Magazine. He lives in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, with his wife and family.

How'd You Get That Scar? Chefs' Tales From the Kitchen Wars
Oct 11th 2010 8:44PM One day I happened to mention to a chef that I had owned two different food establishments. He immediately grabbed my hands and turned them over back and forth, looking at my fingers, wrists and forearms. I asked him what he was doing and he said that he can always tell the "faker bakers" from the REAL food people by the appearance of their hands. Given the scars, burns and cuts all over my paws he was able to tell I was the real deal. That day I became enormously proud of my beaten up digits instead of embarrassed by all the battle marks.

Everton produced a clinical away performance to beat Scunthorpe 5-1 and book their place in the FA Cup fourth round.
An early Louis Saha strike set them on their way, with Jermaine Beckford doubling the lead and Seamus Coleman making it safe after Michael Collins had pulled one back for the Iron just after half time.
There was even time for Marouane Fellaini and Leighton Baines to put gloss on the win with two left-foot efforts - and the scoreline didn't flatter the visitors.
The compact nature of the struggling Championship's ground and Everton's inconsistent form had meant that this tie had been identified as the scene of a potential giant-killing.
But the Blues started in the same bright fashion that they had three days earlier against Tottenham and took the lead in similar circumstances.
With just four minutes on the clock Saha picked the ball up after a neat period of passing and slotted home, this time with his left foot, from the edge of the box.
His strike partner Beckford was playing very much on the shoulder of the last defender and made a couple of bursts through, seeing one effort blocked by David Mirfin and the other brilliantly saved by Joe Murhpy.
Inbetween those efforts, on the 20 minute mark, Beckford had combined delightfully with Fellaini to tee-up the big Belgian for a shot which didn't do justice to the build-up.
Leon Osman, captain for the day, had a shot deflected wide just after that and it seemed likely that Everton would extend their lead, with Scunthorpe only able to offer a couple of long range efforts from Michael O'Connor by way of reply.
They duly did just that in the 33rd minute when Osman's perfectly flighted cross was deftly headed into the corner of the goal by Beckford.
Scunthorpe had clearly been given an ear-bashing by boss Ian Baraclough at the break and seconds after the restart Collins raced on to a long ball and dispatched an excellent volley into the corner of Tim Howard's goal.
The Iron were predictably buoyed by the goal and enjoyed their best spell of the game before Coleman's 58th minute strike re-established Everton's stranglehold on the contest.
The Irishman nodded in Beckford's perfect cross to score his second headed goal in as many games.
Soon Victor Anichebe was introduced in place of Saha and the Nigerian sent a low daisy-cutter well wide with his first significant contribution.
The fourth goal came on 73 minutes when Fellaini found himself in space on the edge of the box and fired a left-foot shot past Murphy.
It was the midfielder's last action as he was promptly replaced by Jack Rodwell after a commanding midfield performance.
Magaye Gueye also saw late action and he set up the fifth for Baines whose superb strike seven minutes from time was arguably the best of the lot.

Just days after announcing its acquisition of Datacap, IBM is buying marketing software giant Unica for about $480 million, reports TechCrunch.
The company said Unica's software will help companies analyze and predict customer preferences and develop more targeted marketing campaigns. The deal makes sense for Big Blue, according to Xconomy, since it has already picked up AT&T's Sterling Commerce and Coremetrics in this sector. Those assets are to be bundled into Unica's offerings.
Meanwhile, IBM isn't just buying, it's also selling off a few things. It's exiting a joint venture with Germany's Infineon Technologies by selling off a joint venture, Altis Semiconductor, in France, according to TMCnet.com.

You missed the point. Its not that bear damage on beta is too low or that it can't be adjusted.
There are two big problems right now.
Pally/DK/Warrior - Hit one button for big damage and gives a dmg reduction.
Bears - Hit on button for 60% of all your resources that does dmg OR hit one button that uses 60% of your resources that gives a dmg reduction. Those things are not remotely the same.
Pally's and DK's also have the luxury (can't believe I am saying that) of having two resource systems, so if they are out of one, they can at least fire something off with the other. Bears right now on beta hit SD, wait for there non rage buttons to light up, wait to get back to 60 rage, hit SD, wait if nothing is off CD (everything is, but Maul I believe and we can't use maul because we don't have the rage for SD).
Blizz killed this exact playstyle for ret paladins because it was whack a mole and boring and then moved it to bears. Splitting bears from cats was supposed to give us more tools and more intriguing play style. Right now, we autoattack until a button lights up and press it. They have a lot of work to do.

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My children have done well at this school. We've NEVER had a problem with this school in any way. The teachers have been great. Their music program is superb, and we've really enjoyed it. The bands and choirs win competitions everywhere they go. I far prefer this school to the one my children had to go to in California. Thumbs up.
Wonderful attention on advanced curriculum, with opportunity to take 40+ college credits by graduation. Great AP course offerings, concurrent enrollment, etc.
I'm a second generation graduate and my eldest child is currently enrolled, and no not for lack of moving. The school does a fantastic job of keeping children in line and violence out of the school. Currently its over crowded but they are expanding by adding a second Senior High.
I go To This School And I Absolutly Hate It. I'm A Junior And i Am Seriously Considering Dropping Out.
I am a 2007 graduate of vallivue high school. I came from a low end family and worked through my entire high school career. So I'm not some well off rich guy that skated through life. There were times when I seriously considered dropping out but the faculty there wouldn't have it. I received tons of support from many of the teachers and staff which led to my becoming a highschool graduate. Vallivue may not have the highest test scores but it is not due to teachers. There are a lot of kids that either cant afford to go to school and support their family or just plain don't care. The music programs are absolutely the best in the state! The band and. Choirs regularly compete in national competitions. Unfortunately there simply is not enough grant money to subsidize the cost of these trips. That is why the arts programs hold numerous fund raising activities yearly. All in all, there is no better public school in Idaho. Bar none! I would simcerely recommend Vallivue as THE choice for secondary education and look forward to the day that my children can enjoy the vallivue experience as much as my wife and I did!
Vallivue is thriving academically under new leadership. Take a look at the growth in ISAT scores over the past two years. Parents are able to see grades and attendance in real time through the new system, but not all teachers are great about keeping it updated. Not perfect, but moving forward.
We have felt that the academic programs at Vallivue rank higher than the ones where our son went to school in CA. The music programs seem better too, although we are concerned about the choir students having to fundraise for music.
I'm a 2003 graduate of Vallivue and I really liked the school and the teachers and the administration. I had come from California public schools and was pleasantly surprised by the differnece bnetween the two. I recommend Vallivue as a good place to be educated!

Best Chinese food ever. I highly recomend the Thai Basil Chicken.
Today my husband and I stopped in and tried the calamari-my goodness it was amazing!!! I can't wait to get back and have some more. As usual-we also received great customer service and both our meals were delicious as well. Thank you for continuing to provide wonderful cuisine right here in Port Orchard.
My two friends and I had an amazing lunch in your restaurant last Friday. I have eaten there a few times and have liked everything I've eaten! When my friend Diane, (a bit of a cuisine critic) came to Port Orchard to see my house remodel progress, she wanted something great for lunch and suggested we may need to go to Gig Harbor. I told her "no need, we have a nice place with fantastic food right here". We ordered a variety and shared. She was impressed by the colors and aromas. So, my foodie friend blogged about her experience while we were there. I hope you like the images we staged and took of our entrees, and what my friend wrote about your really great establishment. Congratulations on the move, I think it's a better vibe and I'll bring people in again and again! Feel free to share my friend's blog! It is making it's way around facebook already. http://eatingaroundthesouthsound.blogspot.com/2011/02/simons-strip-mall-on-outside-delicious.html?spref=fb

the Actual Walls of Rose Red
Rose Red, the grand and spooky palace used in Stephen King's masterpiece, is real. Actually, the house is real, unlike the gothic structure in the cheesy remake of The Haunting which was completely computer generated. Rose Red is real, but outside of King's world it's known as Thornewood Castle, located in Lakewood, Washington, just south of Tacoma. The Rimbauer family is fictional, as are the tragedies that befell them within Thornewood.
Chester A. Thorne, founder of the Port of Tacoma, is the true original owner, and similar to John Rimbauer built the house back in 1911. Also similar is that this home was the romantic Chester's idea of a grand gift to his wife and love, Anna.
This gift is currently standing at the shore of American Lake on four acres of prime lakeside land. Built in three years, 1908-1911, the castle cost approximately one million dollars, which changed for today's inflation would equal around 30 million.
The architect of Thornewood was Kirtland Kelsey Cutter who is responsible for the Rainier Club, plus other wonders in Seattle, California, and even Idaho. Cutter was a renowned architect with expanding businesses in the Spokane area around the years of 1890 - 1915. He practiced with two architectural firms, partnering with Karl Malmgren and John C. Poetz. A tribute to his ability, Thornewood was built to last with concrete and steel, as well as a foundation three feet thick. Within the castle resides a famous English sunken garden created by Central Park designer Frederick Law Olmsted.
There are no public reports of ghosts within Thornewood, however the Thorne's were not free of controversy. Chester A. Thorne's son died when in the country of Egypt, whether through murder or sickness is not disposed. As well, somebody committed suicide within a gun closet off of a downstairs bathroom.
