Valentine's Day has come and gone, but the love that we show to one another should be never-ending. Since "God is love" (1 John 4:8), those three beautiful words to a loved one ("I LOVE YOU"), should be repeated each day. One never hears that he(she) is loved too often.
Knowing one is loved and cherished helps to strengthen us against the world's challenges, and there are many! So even if you have given your loved one flowers , candy, jewelry, etc. during February 14th, every day is the time to declare your love again and again. And there is nothing wrong with bringing your love her(his) favorite flowers, cookies, candy (or anything else really special) any time you feel like it or whenever the intended recipient of that gift really needs it.
Life often comes on a little sour, so what is wrong with some sweetness to counteract it? Love is an antidote for hate, and its ramifications are eternal.

Tina and I visited the home of church members Miguel and Anna Nieves, a couple who live up in
the mountain town of Aguas Buenas. They invited all of the church to their home for a time of fellowship.
Before lunch, we got a tour of their 5 acre mountain property. I was impressed at the great variety of fruit trees and especially by the great size they were able to grow them.
There were some magnificent papaya trees; one had papayas weighing from 12 to 15 pounds.
We have tried to grow them a couple of times, but without success. In the home of Miguel and Anna, they are springing up all over the place and are producing amazing fruit.
It goes to show you, that planted in the right place, and cared for in the right manner, the ordinary can become extraordinary.
I hope our churches can provide just such a place for believers here in Puerto Rico.
I know our church has been blessed by this family. We are grateful for the spiritual fruit that they have produced in our church that has benefitted so many.

Margaret, at Splendid Little Stars, has a festive treasury this week called Christmas in turquoise, red, and lime green. She included my turquoise paper beads - they're sitting on the top right. Come by this site and help me give her thanks.
When I go into Margaret's shop, I'm usually looking at her scrunchies. They're something that I use and see myself buying. Did you know that she sells adult t-shirts as well as children's? I just realized that myself! There's not too much different in price, and that's a great deal!
As I was looking around this weekend to showcase a specific item, I noticed her adorable silk scarf. I usually only wear woolen scarves in the winter - the colors of her hand dying are just fabulous!

I just did a quick search of G00gl3 news and didn't find any mention of it, but we were warned this morning that another employee of the company I work for (and which I decline from naming because I don't want to turn up in G00gl3 searches--but I think you know which company I mean, if not and you really want to know, email me), and who reports to the same building as I but is in a different department, has been hospitalized with swine flu.
Well, the sanitation team, whoever they are, was in the building today, basically bathing every inside surface with the equivalent of hand sanitizer. Small containers of hand sanitizer have been re-ordered so that all employees can be supplied with one, and sanitary disposable towelette dispensers have been placed at several critical locations inside the building.
I suppose this will turn up in the news pretty soon, but I'm posting the news here so now you know.

Reliance, ONGC Slump After India Defers Gas Tariff Increase
Reliance Industries Ltd. (RIL) and state-run Oil & Natural Gas Corp. (ONGC), India's biggest natural gas producers, plunged in Mumbai after India's cabinet deferred a move to increase natural gas prices by three months.
Reliance dropped 3.7 percent to 1,011.90 rupees, the biggest decline since Sept. 3, and ONGC fell 5.8 percent to 411.35 rupees, the steepest drop in 10 months. Oil India Ltd. (OINL) fell 2.8 percent and the benchmark S&P BSE Sensex (SENSEX) lost 1 percent. Canada's Niko Resources Ltd. (NKO), which owns a 10 percent stake in Reliance's biggest gas field, slumped 11 percent in Toronto yesterday.
The gas price issue requires "comprehensive consultations," Oil Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said yesterday in New Delhi. The previous administration had approved a formula for almost doubling prices from the current $4.2 per million British thermal units, which was postponed from its scheduled date of April 1 because of federal elections.
"The deferment will be a setback for explorers," said Dhaval Joshi, a Mumbai-based analyst at Emkay Global Financial Services Ltd., who has an accumulate rating for Reliance and a buy rating for ONGC. "The decision for a detailed review is justifiable as the government wants to take a holistic view after assessing the full impact on the economy."
Modi's Dilemma
India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi faces a dilemma as he tries to balance the demands of explorers to raise gas prices and boost exploration with the need to stem inflation. Higher gas prices would increase the expense of running power and fertilizer plants, raising infrastructure and food costs and accelerating inflation that's the second-highest in Asia.
Reliance and partner BP Plc (BP/) have been seeking higher prices of natural gas. India's offshore oil and gas industry is "at risk" in the absence of higher gas prices, BP's Chief Executive Officer Robert Dudley said in Moscow on June 17.
Output from Reliance's KG-D6 block has slid since 2010 as the reserves proved geologically difficult to recover, Reliance said April 18. Last month, the company served an arbitration notice to the government to raise prices.
Reliance has been selling gas from the block at the same price since it started production in April 2009. The government increased ONGC and Oil India's selling price to match Reliance's in May 2010.
Pricing Formula
A panel led by Chakravarthy Rangarajan, economic adviser to former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, had worked out a pricing formula that averaged gas prices in the U.S., the U.K. and import rates in Japan and India. This would have increased prices to more than $8 per million Btu.
In March, India's election panel directed the oil ministry to defer the increase till the end of federal elections. Modi and his Bharatiya Janata Party won the polls last month with the biggest victory margin in 30 years. He promised to boost growth and control inflation. Consumer prices in India accelerated by 8.28 percent in May, the highest in Asia after Pakistan, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Each dollar increase in gas prices will raise ONGC's annual revenue by 40 billion rupees, Chairman D.K. Sarraf said on March 25. For every $1 increase in gas prices and at a production rate of 15 million cubic meters a day, Reliance's earnings per share will gain 1.5 percent in the year that began April 1, Mumbai-based IIFL Holdings Ltd. has estimated.

The 10 commandments of cancer prevention

I would like to see your references for this claim of yours:
"don't worry about electromagnetic radiation from high-voltage power lines or radiofrequency radiation from microwaves and cell phones. They do not cause cancer."
You mention tobacco as a cancer risk factor but downplay the risk from microwave exposure from cellphones and other wireless equipment like wifi. Right now there is more scientific evidence showing links between cellphones and health problems than there ever was for tobacco. What is your rationale for your claims?
There is ample scientific evidence, peer-reviewed and published, that clearly demonstrates the genetically damaging properties of cellphone radiation. Take fx. the EU funded, international REFLEX study from 2003 that concluded that cellphone radiation can cause DNA damage at intensities far below the Federal guidelines. Read more here:
In 2000 the German ECOLOG institute was commissioned by T-Mobile to review the science and they concluded that cellphone radiation is cancer promoting. Not surprisingly, T-Mobile tried to hide that report from the public. Read about it here:
Also, it is now widely accepted that high-tension power lines are linked to childhood leukemia - there is even a genetic marker to help determine which children are most at risk. Read more here:
Your article reads like wireless-industry propaganda designed to divert public attention away from harmful wireless products.

1. Avoid tobacco in all its forms
2. Eat right
3. Exercise regularly
4. Stay lean
5. Limit alcohol consumption
6. Avoid unnecessary exposure to radiation
7. Avoid exposure to industrial and environmental toxins
8. Avoid infections that contribute to cancer
9. Consider taking low-dose aspirin
10. Get enough vitamin D
#8 Nov 6, 2013
Good list.
I would also add: getting enough sleep - at least 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep every day.
Managing stress and trying to keep it to a minimum if possible.
Avoiding GMO foods (genetically modified organisms). Unfortunately, thanks to Monsanto and President Obama appointing a VP of Monsanto as chairman to the FDA, we can expect that or most food will eventually be unwholesome and help to cause disease in our bodies. Go for organic as much as much as you can. This will help support organic farming, too. It's not always easy, but several stores in the valley do sell organic produce.

Around 50 years ago, wheat was a whole natural grain. That later changed when crops weren't sufficient to feed a fast growing population. In order to feed the masses, the wheat grain was altered/genetically modified to resist molds, fungus, bacteria, insects and viruses so as to produce a much larger crop yield. Unfortunately, this process acts as a pesticide and as far as human consumption, it is unhealthy. Over time, consuming commercial food products of which many contain GMO wheat, it can lead to diseases such as certain types of cancers.
#12 Mar 9, 2015
Do these people really think that people who have healthy lifestyles do not get cancer?
#13 Mar 9, 2015
Some people no matter how healthy will still get cancer. Nothing in this life is a sure thing, but following a healthy lifestyle can certainly help to lower your risk. There are people who unfortunately are predisposed to getting cancer and this is particularly true for those with families who carry an inherited gene for certain types of cancers. I had a close friend who died a few years ago from colon cancer. He was a sales executive for a major company and had to travel often. He always ate in restaurants, but mostly fast food. Hot dogs were one of his favorite foods. He smoked and drank liquor, too. An unhealthy lifestyle probably contributed to his cancer but he also lost his father and 2 brothers to colon cancer so it may have run in his family. All one can do is live as healthy as possible. We live in a polluted world. Our food and water is probably contaminated to some extent. Doctors don't do as much preventive procedures as they use to do years ago, all because of insurance costs. Be alert to any changes in your body, even if it doesn't seem that important. Tell your doctor and if he doesn't believe you or thinks it's nothing to worry about and you're still unsure, seek out another doctor. Better to be safe then sorry later. Also, avoid eating food and beverages that are in a can. The metal leaches into the food and over time, can lead to toxic overload. Your liver does all the filtering for toxins and it can only handle so much. If you have an auto-immune disorder or deficiency, you have to be certain to avoid anything that may help to weaken your immunity further. Not an easy task, but one of the things that can help is avoiding wheat and wheat products. Wheat is highly inflammatory in the body.

For cancer prevention, it is better to eat healthy and exercise regularly. It is true that the disease can affect anyone and we all know there is no treatment to fully cure the deadly disease. In such cases, one should focus on maintaining a good health and avoid eating the food which could worsen the problem.

I have had cancer 3 times and luckily caught in the early stages. I have never smoked( had lung cancer)' exercise and eat healthy. In discussions with my doctor she said that obviously I am predisposed to cancer. You can do everything right and still cancer.

Very nice article about the cancer prevention. This article is very important because the cancer disease is very dangerous and the people should know how to prevent this disease. Most of the people have died because they don't know the prevention and you are doing a very nice task awaring people through topix. Keep updating similar kind of post.
#17 Apr 20, 2015
Jinx, you said my thoughts exactly. There are people that can be doing everything right in terms of being healthy and they will still get cancer. I feel like cancer is really on the rise and it makes me sad to see so many people and families suffering because of it. I'm glad that there are some treatments out there and that a lot of people are going into remission if it's caught early enough. I just wish we could find a cure soon. http://www.gradoclinics.com/gallery/southwest...

There are many things that are carcinogenic, so the fact you didn't smoke means little...perhaps nana or g-paw smoked around you when you were a baby that started the process, or maybe you were exposed to some toxic fumes in your house as a child, like high concentrations of radon or carbon monoxide.
The point is, just because one gets cancer who doesn't smoke, does not mean that smoking is not the irritant that causes cancer to develop...further; if one is predisposed to cancer, something like smoking simply seals the deal!
To put this a little differently...not every child who doesn't wear a seatbelt will die, but certainly in most cases every child who is involved in an accident that is not buckled in, severely increases the potential for serious or even fatal injuries.
Its like Russian roulette.

Actually, you have better odds with Russian Roulette because you only have a 1 in 6 chance of killing yourself. Smokers have a 1 in 3 chance of killing themselves. Unlike smoking, playing Russian Roulette will probably not kill bystanders.

Everyone knows the ill health effects of smoking, but people still do it. Just like everyone knows that sun exposure can cause cancer, yet millions are out getting suntans as we speak.
If you're a sissy that dislikes the odor of tobacco, that's your problem. Go lock yourself in a liberal cocoon at your house so nothing bad can happen to you, and leave the rest of us alone to have fun and live our lives as we see fit.

You cannot always prevent cancer. But individuals can do to limit their risk of getting cancer and to make cancer less deadly when it does develop. I found one article on 6 thing you can do to reduce your risk. Visit this Url: http://www.sierranevadacancer.com/news/6-thin...
#25 Sep 15, 2015
It's not that non-smokers are sissies, but it's highly likely that you're thoughtless and clueless to the harm that cigarette fumes can cause. It's a proven fact that 2nd hand smoke is unhealthy. It would be much easier and healthier for everyone, if smokers were forced to stop polluting the air with their toxic exhalations.

You getting a whiff of smoke from time to time is completely harmless.
How many people die every year from exposure to the sun? I don't see you demanding the government "forcing to stop" peoples exposure to sunlight. Or "forcing" people to stop making loud noises that cause hearing damage.

While I've always been a good writer, one of my weaknesses has been proofreading. My mind usually goes a million miles a minute, and finding the discipline to sit and go through a communication with a fine-tooth comb is difficult for me. Some people have the natural patience for it, and I envy them.
But I have learned some tricks to help me improve my proofreading sessions. So if you're like me and find it hard to focus and pay attention to the little minute details, hopefully these tips will help you, as well!
Create a Personal Checklist
Even if we consider ourselves good proofreaders, we all have those details that we overlook: date and/or name verification, spelling of certain words, use of certain phrases, etc. So instead of being slaves to our habits and faults, it's better to keep them in check with a list of things for which to look out when reading material. It's hard to admit we're not perfect, but it's a fact. So make sure you avoid those regular pitfalls as much as possible with a healthy list of grammatical, spelling, or style reminders.
Schedule It When You Know You Have Time
The worst time to proofread is when you don't have time. So make sure you carve out a part of your day when you can sit down and really focus on reviewing the material. Sometimes the circumstances are such that you have to proofread in a hurry, but if time is on your side, make sure you are able set aside time and give the appropriate attention to the task at hand.
Give Yourself A Buffer
Don't proof anything immediately after you write it. You're too close to it. You know what it should say and what you meant to say. So get out of that mindset. Take at least 15 minutes, get your mind on something else, then come back to your piece and review it with fresh eyes.
Print, Baby. PRINT!
I know I listed this as the fourth tip, but this is actually my number one guideline. The reason I listed it fourth is that some people are fine with proofreading via the computer screen. I'm not one of those people. There's something about the light emanating from the screen that makes me miss important details. When I print something, I catch a lot more mistakes and recognize better ways to write something a lot more often. You might be one of those lucky ones who can absorb anything through the computer monitor, but I would recommend not taking any chances and print a hard copy.
Read Aloud
As you write, you know what you want to say. You know it so well, you might not recognize when you've stated something incorrectly – even when re-reading it. That's why it always helps to repeat what you've written out loud. If any part of what you've written doesn't make sense or is grammatically incorrect, you'll know when you hear it.
Use the Spell/Grammar Check Tool
Microsoft put the Spelling/Grammar Check tool in their Word software for a reason. So use it. It doesn't always catch everything, but it's one more step that can help you catch a mistake. And in the end, what have you lost but a few minutes of your time?
Check for Multi-Applicable Changes
We've all been in the situation where we've written something that specifies a date and/or place, then that information changes. You might correct the first time the information appears, but forget about the other locations in the communication. This can be part of your checklist, but it deserves to be stressed by itself – make sure you've changed the dates, locations, etc. in all the places that information is listed.
We all have our little tricks that help us accomplish the task at hand. So what are some of your proofreading tips? There are many others besides the ones I've listed. Which ones have you found to be most valuable? Let us know in the Comment section below.
Join My Email List
If you go back and proofread that subheadline, you'll know that I want you to join my email list! And it's so easy, too. Just fill out the form at the right side of the screen, and enjoy a weekly email recap of my blog posts.

The term 'KFC cure' has been coined by the KFB team as a way of expressing one's need to visit the colonel for recovery or curing purposes, an example here:
Oh god, I drank so many lagers last night...I need the cure right now!The curing properties of secret recipe chicken are even recognised up at KFC HQ, with many of the team freely admitting that the test kitchens are often packed with hungry staff members the morning after a big night out.
So, the question I ask myself - is the KFC cure fact, or merely a fictional antidote that we have created to psychologically make ourselves feel better? And how do the curing properties of KFC compare to rival fast food merchants and other typical hang over countermeasures?
Join me again soon in the second part, where I will outline my experimental procedure and discover the truth about the KFC cure.

As of today, it's been a month since Jon and I got married. I can't really say since we said, "I do...." since well, we didn't actually say it. I'm sure by now, everyone knows that something goes wrong at every wedding. We were fortunate, thanks to the very diligent planning of our wedding coordinator (my mom wrote an ode to her here) and lots of hardworking individuals, there were approximately two things that didn't go according to plan. I can't really say they went wrong because I don't consider it that way. I think it's pretty funny, and it didn't stress me out or take away from our wedding celebration in any way.
First, hot sauce got added to the queso. We had a burrito bar for dinner. In the process of making queso (which sounds cooler than Velveeta and Rotel), two bottles of hot sauce got added to the mix. Ooops! I heard it was a little on the spicy side, but still delish.
Yum! Burritos!
Second, we didn't actually say, "I do...." That part got forgotten...probably in the excitement of adding the poem Jon wrote for me to the ceremony. Yes, Jon had our Pastor read the poem he wrote for me a few months back during the ceremony. It was a total surprise - a totally GREAT surprise!
We're still officially married - even without saying, "I do!"
So, what have I learned from being married for a month? A lot. Most important thing? I like my husband, a ton. Like, I really really really like him. He makes me laugh, smile, and enjoy life! I love my husband, and I love learning new things about him and having him by my side. Marriage is definitely an adventure...and an adjustment. Learning to live with another person has been interesting, but we like each other which totally helps! During premarital counseling, we were told that we should really like each other. Not just love, but really really like. I couldn't agree with this bit of advice more. It has been so important for Jon and I to like each other and to just enjoy spending time together. I can think all those little quirks that might otherwise get on my nerves are just plain cute because I really like him. I can make a lunch (and enjoy it) every day and remember to put in a treat because I like Jon. Jon can remember to lock the door (I might have a slight case of door locking neurosis) because he likes me. And in taking time to do those little things for each other, we know that we are loved as well.

Carlo Ancelotti has reportedly already decided that he wants to sign Javier Hernandez from Manchester United permanently.
Spanish sources have claimed that Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has already decided to exercise an option in Javier Hernandez's loan agreement from Manchester United, to make the deal permanent.
Chicharito's status at Real Madrid is no greater than had he stayed at United, but the former Chelsea boss is thought to have been impressed with what he's seen from the Mexican so far.
"The Mexico international linked up with the Spanish giants on a season-long loan as United put the final touches on a deal for Monaco's Radamel Falcao at the start of September, and has impressed with three goals in just four league outings," reports the Express.
"Real are understood to have an option allowing them to purchase Hernandez on a long-term deal at the end of the season, and Spanish outlets claim that Carlo Ancelotti has already decided to make the 26-year-old's stay permanent."
It appears to have been a savvy move on the part of Los Blancos to have the original clause inserted into the deal to give them that option.
Hernandez has proven to be well suited to the style that Ancelotti likes to use in relation to his Real Madrid attack; plenty of pace and drive in wide areas on the counter attack.
The Mexican benefits greatly from the work and quality of Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and the talent in Real Madrid's midfield from the likes of Luka Modric, James Rodriguez and Toni Kroos among others.
Whether the reports over Real Madrid's desire to make this deal permanent are accurate, we won't be able to tell until the end of the season but it makes sense all round.
He's happy, Real Madrid are happy and if United get a good price, Ed Woodward will be happy.

OJ Simpson eligible for parole this year
O.J. Simpson could get out of prison later this year if a parole hearing goes his way.
The hearing will likely take place in July, according to a spokesman for the Nevada Board of Parole Commissioners.
Depending on the outcome, Simpson could be released as soon as October 1.
The former NFL star was famously acquitted in 1995 in the slayings of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman.
Simpson, 69, has been serving a nine-to-33-year sentence for his role in a 2007 armed robbery in a Las Vegas hotel room. He and two armed associates confronted two men and took pieces of Simpson's memorabilia from them.
Simpson said at his sentencing, he was trying to reclaim personal items that had been stolen from him and he was unaware his associates were carrying guns.
At least four of seven commissioners will have to vote in Simpson's favor for him to be released.

Faxes are a critical part of business today, but they should not be invasive. Here are some ideas to remember.
Fax machines are not in our offices to excuse us from sending letters or making phone calls. Fax machines are best used when time is of the essence.
Fax machines should not be used for sending advertisements or solicitations. People become annoyed—rightfully so—by unwelcome transmissions.
If you need to get a message to several people, don't depend on the receiving party to make copies for you. Send a separate fax to each person who needs it. If your message is urgent, mark it "urgent" and call ahead to ask the receiver to be on the lookout. A reminder to receivers: if the fax is marked urgent, deliver it to its intended party as quickly as possible. A reminder to senders: be courteous; don't mark it as urgent if it's not.
It is proper etiquette for the sender to make sure the fax is received. If you send a fax and don't get a response within the time you think it should take, call the other person and make sure it was received.
It's a nice idea to send the orginal copy of your message as a backup, although most courts have found faxed documents to be legal and binding.
If you don't have a plain-paper fax and your office gets long faxes, you can tightly roll the fax the opposite way and secure it with a rubber band or paper clip to straighten it out. That way, when you or someone else opens it, the pages lie flat and can be easily read. If you really want to go the extra mile, unroll the fax after an hour or so, cut the pages, and put them in sequence so you or the intended receiver gets a stack of papers instead of a roll.
When sending a fax, remember that pencil marks and light inks do not transmit well. Neither do small fonts. Increase your font size to at least 12 points. Many graphics also will not reproduce well, and they take longer to send and receive.
Cover sheets waste transmission time and paper. There are transmittal notices that stick right on your document (if you're using a hard copy), or you can design your own. If you fax directly from your computer, you can design a simple heading and begin your document a few lines under it.
Leave your fax machine on when you close your office for the evening. Overseas transmissions come in the middle of the night and on weekends. Check your paper supply each night, too.

I'm 56, hope to retire by mid sixties. Medicare would then kick in but what about coverage for HIV meds? I don't understand the whole "part D" thing. I know I have to have supplemental insurance for the what Medicare doesn't pay but what about the drugs?
Response from Ms. Franzoi
Currently, Medicare Part D would provide coverage for HIV medications. However, one would have to reveiw the plans in his zip code to determine which plan would offer the best coverage. With someone who has high cost medications, Medicare Part D will pay up to a certain point and then the retiree must pay 100% of the cost up to a certain out-of-pocket limit and then Part D would kick back in. Since you are only 56, you need to receognize that what Medicare covers today and how the program works could change by the time you are eligible.

Lessons Of The Butterfly
We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty – Maya Angelou
I like to think that we can learn a lot of lessons from nature about this active process as we examine the movements that a caterpillar undergoes during its transition into a butterfly.
These tiny, fluttering creatures are really teachers in disguise. Here are five bits of life wisdom, inspired by the beautiful butterfly.
… Growing pains, times of ravenous hunger, times of vulnerability, moments of miraculous expansion.
Herein lies the deepest symbolic lesson of the butterfly. She asks us to accept the changes in our lives as casually as she does. The butterfly unquestioningly embraces the chances of her environment and her body.
This unwavering acceptance of her metamorphosis is also symbolic of faith. Here the butterfly beckons us to keep our faith as we undergo transitions in our lives. She understands that our toiling, fretting and anger are useless against the turning tides of nature – she asks us to recognize the same.

Part two of the report.
Air Raid Shelter
Located just inside the line of trees on the other side of the circuit path with leads from the Bomb Store up to the various building remnants close to Tech Site 1.
Is this evidence of PILLBOX: S0014406
Certainly no other evidence of a PB was in the area and though it would indicate the possibility of reinforcement as witnessed at another PB site where it was destroyed, there was nothing clearly within this mass of concrete and steel to fully identify it. I couldn't find a base, pit or anything else to clarify.
Air Raid Shelter.
Located up from Tech Site 1 - double entranced but only accessible through one entrance due to debris built up in the entrances.
This site took three visits all in all mainly due to the changeable weather and low light levels. I revisited it the next day and headed in from the field to the rear of the woods and headed towards the Bomb Store.
Just inside the woods was evidence of circuit road and kerbs.

Just found out that I have been selected as a leader mentor for the Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative Generation EARTH Workshop to be held in Siem Reap, Cambodia in April. This program is funded by a grant from the Embassy of the United States in Phnom Penh, Cambodia and administered by Cultural Vistas and Paññāsāstra University of Cambodia, Siem Reap Campus. This workshop will connect 72 young leaders from the 10 ASEAN member nations to work with leader mentors from the United States and ASEAN countries focusing on the development of action plans to address environmental challenges facing Southeast Asia and the world. As a leader mentor, I will have the opportunity to assist in providing virtual activities for program participants prior to the workshop, deliver a workshop session on youth engagement and partnerships in environmental advocacy, as well as serve as a mentor for a small team of young leaders representing the ASEAN member countries.
Look for more entries on this blog as the project develops. Thrilled to be traveling again to Southeast Asia, working with young leaders on environmental advocacy, and planning on bringing my experiences back to my students in Kearney, Nebraska!

Things are happening.
First – who doesn't love Miss Fisher of Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries? I mean, seriously, the clothes, the locations, the music…sigh…
Check this out:
There is a Miss Fisher costume exhibition going on RIGHT NOW and I've got tickets to see it!! I am meeting up with the lovely Trish from Quiet Vintage Sewing to see the exhibit, check out a fabric store or two and explore Sydney and its surrounds.
To that end, I REALLY want to get a handle on this 20's thing. I made a stab at the Gatsby sewalong last year and failed miserably. The biggest hurdle to overcome is my view of my own body – I'm not tall, I'm not willowy, I look nothing like Miss Fisher or any of the drawings we typically see from the 20's. I AM smart enough to know I AM typical, women were shaped like me back then! To get over my own silly self I'm going to jump right into the era and invite you all along : )
You see, on Vicki's blog she's got these links on the right side. And I was bored one day so I started reading them ALL, and I stumbled onto 20's gold. Kathleen from Midvale Cottage Post has posted some of the cutest, seemingly simple yet elegant 20's "patterns" by Ruth Wyeth Spears. One page patterns/directions, most likely from a magazine, they epitomize the look of the 20's.
I'm going to start from the underwear out to re-create some (hopefully) fabulous looks. I found a pattern on Reconstructing History that I'm excited about:
I am SO fortunate to be able to pick my grandmother's brain (my mother's mother) about what was worn! We have some photos of a trip my great grandparents took to Niagra Falls in the late 20's that I'll be able to share along with some funny and new-to-me stories of life back then. She was born in 1919, is turning 95 this September and remembers EVERYTHING! The only thing that she doesn't quite understand is my fascination with that era. Ah well…
I have a photo of my dad's mother that I want to completely re-create. I look just like her and inherited the boob gene from her so it should work out well : )
In keeping with my vow to buy as little as possible this year <cough*hoarder*cough> I'm going to try to make everything on my list from stuff I have in my stock. Unless of course I find something SO FANTASTIC in Australia that I MUST have it, but I've done a cursory inventory and I should be able to do this.
Here's a sample of the goodies I want to make:
I think this is one of my top favorites! This is the ENTIRE pattern but if you read it its pretty clear. Ruth is assuming that you (or we) have a basic shift pattern. I'm going to draft one, and show you how, using a pattern we can all find online for free. Free is good : )
I love the simplicity of this, and have a piece of printed chiffon that might do it justice. I'm also guessing each of these creations can be done in an afternoon : ) I'm going to use 'mostly' standard sewing techniques available back then, but I'm not above using a rolled hem foot or even the rolled hem serger stitch to save my sanity. My grandmothers would approve.
Oh! I just LOVE the idea of this! Will it look like this when I'm done? Who knows… But I've got a box of tablecloths made from Indian inspired fabrics (and Marion Boyce uses lots of Indian fabrics on "Miss Fisher") that are just waiting to be something fun.
I'm not a big point fan, mainly because making them is a pain, but I can't pass this up. Time to hone those skills!
And if you have fabulous dresses you need cover-ups:
That piece of bright pink velvet my girlfriend gave me years ago is PERFECT for this, wait until you see what I pair it up with!
I'm not sure if I've got 4 yards of velvet but I certainly have yards and yards of other things.
I like the IDEA of this, now I'm going to see how close the reality is!
More squares…again, how will it look on a real person (me)?
We had a version of this in the 60's. I'm hoping the right hair and make-up makes me think 20's and not caftan : )
I love this sporty stripy outfit!
I would wear this to work today, in a snap.
And the perfect accessory for this? Hats!
Hats, hats…for career girls…
Felt. Just felt. No buckram. MUST TRY.
RIBBON. Just ribbon. Again, MUST try!
Again, felt. Scraps in stock, can't wait.
This one uses a buckram frame, and I have buckram and a mold so I'll show you how utterly easy this is : )
What about some fun accessories?
The drawing is cute but how functional is it? Let's find out.
A handy belt to dress up a plain frock. Again, box of tablecloths just waiting to be something new.
So you see, there is PLENTY of inspiration out there that takes just a little ingenuity. This is my starting point, the project may change as I go. I'm using my Grandma Bertha's book, "The Art of Dressmaking" by Butterick as my go-to source for period details. (Sarai on Coletterie wrote about it here.) I don't have much from her so this is precious to ME. She was a seamstress, tailor and all around character. I think she would heartily approve of this project.
You all are invited to sew along with me!
I'm turning the top photo into a button for pasting onto your blogs : ) Several bloggers out there have recently cut their hair into 20's style bobs so I hope they come play. I'm kicking this off June 3, the day AFTER I get home from Australia, and considering the number of projects I'm looking at means I'll probably be posting over a 6 week period. I'll do step-by-step pictorial tutorials so you can compare the written instructions to the photos and hopefully all will be de-mystified.
If nothing else, I'll have some really fabulous frocks to choose from for the Gatsby picnic at Dunsmuir house this September : )

An vintage dealer with a few years of experience in selling from booths in vintage malls, and who has labored behind the counter for 12 years in an indoor flea market, offers invaluable ideas and recommendation. Utilities produce public services such as electrical energy or sewage treatment, usually underneath a government. Liked the footwear. I reside in denims and the little extra stretch makes them more snug.

I know it's May now, and so all the bright colours should be coming out but I just can't resist putting together a mono outfit. I love black, I love white and so what's better than combining the two together? I just think it creates such a sharp chic look, and who can argue with that!
On a little side note, I just want to say thank you to everyone who voted for me in the 'Pastel Me Pretty' competition on Stylefruits.com – I won the beautiful Marc Jacobs purse featured in this post & I couldn't love it more! So thank you & thanks to the Stylefruits team for inviting me to enter! MWAH x
