Shaping underwear or Shapewear for women is a woman's tight-fitting underwear intended to control and shape the figure. It is also known as the foundation garment which is an undergarment designed to temporarily alter the wearer's body shape, to achieve a more fashionable figure. The function of a foundation garment is not to enhance a bodily feature but to smooth or control the display of one.
Getting a flat stomach is hard, but many women feel constant pressure to have washboard abs. If you've ever sucked in your stomach, you know that posture and breathing can affect how big your stomach looks. Shapewear mimics the effect of sucking in your stomach by slightly flattening the area, but without the stress of constantly remembering to stay sucked in. Shapewear won't permanently flatten your stomach, but it does the same temporarily. It is a type of compression garment, which means that it works by pushing fat in and compressing your entire stomach area. This can temporarily shave a few inches off your stomach and waist. Shapewear won't work miracles, though. If you have a lot of fat on your stomach, your stomach may look smaller in shapewear, but it won't necessarily look flat. Even very tight shapewear will usually make you look no smaller than when you're sucking in your stomach.
For maximum benefit, shapewear should fit snugly against your body but should not dig into your skin or hurt. Choose breathable fabrics to prevent sweat from getting trapped against your skin. If you feel dizzy, notice that breathing is more difficult, find yourself excessively sweating or experience discomfort or tingling around or under the shapewear, stop wearing it immediately. Good shapewear should not hurt or interfere with your ability to do your usual daily tasks.
In recent years sales of shapewear have increased considerably. Women have worn foundation garments, such as corsets and brassieres, for a very long time. Some have been essential to the fashion trends of the time. Others have been born out of the need for women to feel more secure. Better known today as "shapewear," these garments include body briefs, bodysuits, control briefs, corsets, tummy reducer, slimmer etc .A shapewear may be worn for a specific outfit. Being an underwear, the shapewear should not be visible under the outerwear, unless the exposure is intended. A general purpose "all the way" shaper with clear straps that starts at the bust and ends at the knee or mid-calf is also available. Shapewear may come with a built in strapless bra for dresses and halters and are made in a range of different styles colours. Shop for different styles of branded shapewear at www.bodybasics.in and get a hour glass figure this festive season.

Attractions - Blackall
Ram Park
The Ram signifies the importance of the sheep industry for the region and gives its name to the complex that incorporates the living history of the Blackall district. A rail ambulance purchased in 1949 as part of the QATB (Queensland Ambulance Transport Brigade) is among many of the displays at Ram Park.
The Blackall Railway Station was moved to its present location after the passenger service was closed in 1992. In 2012 the Blackall Visitor Information centre was relocated to the railway station. Navena Homestead, the Yalleroi School and the Yalleroi Railway station are the other main buildings at Ram Park and house memorabilia relating to the two towns.
Labor Federation Memorial
Located in Short Street the Labor Federation Memorial commemorates the first meeting of the Australian Labor Federation which led to the first shearers' union in December 1886. This group later became the Australian Labor Party.
Pioneer Bore
In 1885 Blackall became the first town in Queensland to sink an artesian bore. The bore, aptly named Pioneer bore, was sunk to a depth of 800 m but was not the first to reach water. The bore along with a replica of the drilling rig, can be seen at the end of Clematis Street along with a mural painted by local artist Bob Wilson.
Fossilised Tree Stump
The fossilised tree stump located in Shamrock Street, which was found on a local property, is a conifer and related to the hoop pines of today. The wood has been preserved by silicification and is believed to be 1 to 225 million years old.
Masonic Lodge
The first Masonic Lodge was formed in Blackall in 1887 and a number of buildings were used until the current Lodge was built in 1908. In 1978 it was approved for listing with the National Trust for its architectural and structural interest.
Major Mitchell Memorial
The Major Mitchell Memorial, located in Shamrock Street, was unveiled 19th September 1946. Thomas Mitchell was the first European to explore the area in 1846, which then led to the area being opened up for settlement. The clock is dedicated to Major Mitchell, Graham Douglas and their aboriginal interrupter Youranigh.
Town Bore No.4
The town's artesian water is supplied from three bores. The water bursts to the surface at a scorching 58°C from the Great Artesian Basin and is pure drinking water. The water flows from the basin under its own pressure and bores are usually drilled to a depth of 800 m. The water temperature in Blackall ranges from is 58 – 63oC therefore a means of cooling water is more important than heating.
Blackall Cemetery
Many of the graves in the Blackall Cemetery date back to the late 1800s. In the Blackall cemetery is the grave site of legendary shearer Jack Howe and Roy Dunne. Roy Dunne set a record when he jumped his goat Nugget over 3' 6". A photo of Roy and Nugget is on Roy's headstone.
Bushman's Hotel
The Bushman's Hotel was built in 1891 with handmade bricks from the local brick factory near the Barcoo Hotel. The bricks were 'made from material from a nearby paddock and burned on the banks of the Barcoo'.
'The Don' mural
"The Don" was painted by local artist Bob Wilson and commemorates George Gill whose wagon "The Don" was one of the last teamster loads of wool to be transported to the rail head in 1924. The mural shows 28 horses carrying 103 bales of wool.
Mr & Mrs Behan's buggy display
Mr Behan made his first sulky when he was about 14 in Wagga and has his collection on display in his garden for visitors to look at. Their buggy display gives Blackall a special charm that wouldn't be seen anywhere else.
Wishing Well at McLean Place
Work on the Blackall Bushman Hotels water reservoir began in 1891 and was completed in 1893. In 2004 the water reservoir (now known as the Wishing Well) was cleaned out by local volunteers and 60 tonnes of rubbish including sewing machines, shoes and bottles were removed.
Muir's Garage
Muir's Garage is a symbol of a by-gone era. It was built supplementary to the blacksmith's shop in 1924 and was bought in 1931 by Mr John Muir and operated until its closure in 1993. The building is constructed of hard wood timber, bush posts, has an earthen floor and is completely surrounded by corrugated iron.
Blackall Library - Town Quilt and Regional Wood
Inside the Blackall Library marvel at the ingenuity behind the 'Town Quilt' made by the 60's & Better Group of Blackall and the counter made from timbers found in the Central West region.
Bird and Wild Life
While in Blackall take a stroll along the river and keep an eye out for the wide variety of birdlife that live in or visit the region at different times of the year. A list of sighted birds can be found at the information centre. The most recent new bird recorded was the Pacific Baza.
Idalia National Park
This 144 000 ha park, 113 km south west of Blackall, protects mulga woodlands, the headwaters of the Bulloo River and has a wide variety of wildlife and fauna including the bridled nailtail wallabies. Visit innovative stake stockyards built from the 1920's -30's and wander among the rusty iron and splintered bush timer relics. Camping is permitted at Monks Tank and activities include bird-watching, bush walking, scenic driving and watching wildlife. Camping is also available.

What Does Every Country Differ From Each Other When It Comes to Giving Monetary Tips?
As we all know, United States of America is one of the most popular countries in the world to visit to and of course, it is not a surprise that most of the people visit their however, most of the time, it is surprising to the people who are visiting this country to witness how people give tips to the workers who serve them. In order to avoid yourself from being into trouble, it is very important for the people who are planning to visit another country to research and learn about the custom of tipping of the country in where they are going to. Questions like what is tipping and why is it necessary for every country might come into your mind at times and that is just normal. To make sure that people will be educated about the customary tipping of every country, this article was made.
When it comes to the country of United Kingdom, people give tips according to the standard tipping. Most of the time, if you are happy or satisfied with what the service crew showed you, then you will give him or her a tip. Usually, people who eat in the restaurant will give the tip directly to the one who served and accommodated them or will just leave them on the table where they ate. You must also know that if you are visiting this country and eat in a restaurant in a large group or with your friends, the restaurant may already added the service charge to your bill upon check out. There would not be a problem if the customer decides not to add the tip because basically, they have already paid for it. A restaurant is not the only place where people give tips in United Kingdom but also any place where they receive help from someone.
When it comes to giving tips, a lot of people would agree that the country of Italy has a very interesting custom with regards to this. Tipping is not a common culture in Italy besides from the fact that this country is very known for having service crews that wait for their customers patiently. Of course, it does not mean that they do not give tips at all, it is just that it is not their custom and they have the choice to give or not. People would say that it is weird however, they must know that this situation is normal to them and hey have a good reason for it.

Thanks hon. Thinking about you and sending the strength you need to continue on in your quest to get things changed. Thanks to Sammy for picking out these beauties in the goodie bag.

Sammy indeed sounds like quite a special boy :) and not in a disabled kind of way but in a kind and loving way. I hope that your reports do make a difference and that someone listens. We live in a rural area and have no insurance so no access to health care and very few doctors take the medicaid that is available to low income children. My daughter is lucky to have a very good family doctor who does take it that is not a far drive. I am thankful for that. She is also healthy though she has a birth defect that is right now dormant. I hope it remains that way for her.
Thank you as always for sharing

My hearts just shed tears when I read about the inadeqencies in this world today in a so-called civilized country. KUDOS to you for taking up the charge for your child & all the others in the same situation. The breakthroughs that you have made might not seem much to you, but know it is a large obstacle that you have overcome, beaurocracy. Continue to use this blog to reach out & continue to tell your darling son's story so that others can understand what it means to have catastrophic health care needs within a family. I fully understand it when the co-pays are way beyond the financial burden that you & your family can bear.
Health care is outrageous in prices here in the US. but I am thankful that so far my Blue Cross Health Benefits from work along with Medicare has covered it. For a 5-day monthly Oncology treatment for approx 7 hrs a day, it comes to approx $45,597 each mth, excluding Dr's visits, etc. I have had 8 mths of treatment.
What has happened to the promise that school-aged children are covered in health benefits & the schools are a part of that treatment factor? Continue to use your blog to enlighten the world that things are not equal between the haves & the haves not. My prayers along with my hope for your son will remain with me in my prayers. Leavin LUV!! XOXOXO

Hi joanne- Just sending you a Big thank you for the "bag" that Sammy chose- I have a sister who is "mentaly retarded" due to a lack of oxygen when she was born(also hospital neg)- she now has a "job" with a "help group" and feels like she is "the bee's knees"..lol, but it was a long struggle to eventually get there.. Sending you hugs and to Sammy too.
- Monday, 11 June, 2007
WOW! I am appalled at your story, not the story itself, but the sub standard care you recieve for your son. I am in Alberta and special needs children here get the best opportunities, schooling, work, play, education, health care, etc. I will hold your situation up in prayer.

It's sad to read about the problems and inconveniences you face on a daily basis regarding the problems of your child, and I hope there is more work done in Canada and where you live to improve the conditions of people with that kind of necessities. I guess it's true what you say that making the local and regional authorities aware of the problems you face and deal with, will be helpful. But even though I'm sure it's terribly painful going through some papers and the story of your child, one thing that would also help, is making the general public aware of the case as that will always put more pressure on authorities to do their best in certain issues.
The job you are doing with your child is, considering the circumstances, unbelievable and certainly hard and at times painful. So I hope and wish you the best to you and your family. :)
Thanks a million for the "Grab a bag" and best wishes. It's really nice to read you. :o)
- Monday, 11 June, 2007
I'm so touched by your writing.
I'm sorry but my language skills are not enough to express my feelings.
I wish you and your family the best for the future, I hope something changes for better.
Thanks for your freebie.

I understand exactly what you are going through. Although we're from rural ontario but the same situation applies. I think it's rural Canada as a whole. There just isn't the facilities and the lack of health care professionals is a black spot on Canada's health care system as a whole! We finally pulled my son out of school because of lack of proper care and untrained care providers. My son has spastic, quadraplegic CP a long with several other severe health problems. The care he has received and continues to receive since we moved from a large city to a small rural area is sub-standard at best! I'm cheering for ya' hon - takes a special person to fight for what should basic human rights in this great country we live in. Keep going - it takes a while but eventually they listen!!

What other say about our Introduction to Transformational Breath workshop
"Feel ALIVE Experienced energy in abdomen never felt before. Came in as an 83-year-old; leaving as an 18 yr old" Fatima Bakharia
"It's amazing that such a simple technique can have such a profound effect. I recommend transformational breath to everybody" Sophie Williams
"I felt like I was in a blanket of love and safety. I felt like a new woman when the workshop was over. Can I come again tomorrow?" Naomi Givan
"The most effective workshop I have ever attended- it made me feel calm and relaxed unlike anything I've experienced before" Rachel Menezes
"I felt very connected with myself and my baby (I'm 3 and half months pregnant) it was very emotional, amazing feeling." Miranda Dingle
"I wasn't expecting such a powerful physical reaction to breathing" Paul Davison
"Phenomenal, deep, visceral experience that left me feeling energised and joyous & connected to some deeper emotions" Gurinder Sandhu
What is Transformational Breath?
Transformational Breath® is an amazing technique that works on three levels. Firstly, it teaches you to use your breath to open your complete respiratory system. Physically this energises, clears toxins, and boosts the immune system. It reduces stress hormones; in fact, each session can clear 'something', leaving behind deep feelings of relaxation.
The emotional is the second level. Emotionally, Transformational Breath® provides an opportunity to access those deep unresolved issues and integrate them in a way that has an immediate benefit on your life. This tool works at the level of the subconscious.
The third level of Transformational Breath® is personal and partially dependent upon belief systems; for some, it's deeply spiritual, others fast track to deep meditative states.
Dr. Judith Kravitz developed Transformational Breath® over 30 years ago in the US. There are amazing stories of self-healing using Transformational Breath®; including a reduction in symptoms of a disease, such as cancer and back pain. Tens of thousands of people have benefited from this tool. The popularity of Transformational Breath® continues to soar globally, in response to a crisis in physical and mental health (as well as a lack of funding).
"Judith Kravitz is the most impressive teacher of breath work I have ever encountered in both the east and the west. Her techniques have the power to lead one to have a direct experience of liberation on many levels. You may call it a short cut to enlightenment "
Tulku Rimpoche Thubten, Tibetan Buddhist Lama
Are there any risks or contraindications?
Everybody can benefit from breathing better. We may need to make certain adjustments, e.g prop you up on some extra pillows. There will be an opportunity at registration for you to make us aware of any medical conditions. It's great for pregnant women too!
How should I plan for this event?
You will be lying down on mats with pillows and blankets during this session. Wear loose comfortable clothing. (Nothing too tight or restrictive round the waist). Please wear extra layers, even consider bringing a blanket as your temperature can vary during the session.
Please avoid caffeine, alcohol or cigarettes before you arrive. Avoid a wild night afterwards (unless you really have too), because you won't benefit from the full experience. You feel dehydrated afterwards so carry a refillable water bottle.
Please arrive from 1:45 for a 2pm start.
How old do I need to be?
Normally 18's only, please. If younger please contact the organisers who can advise further.

Acknowledging Winter's Danger Differing areas across the country experience differing exposures and severities to the winter months, but almost all experience the chill of winter at some point in the year. Beyond just being cold, the months of winter experienced across the nation often bring with them dangerous winter storms. The National Weather Service has come accustomed to calling these winter storms the Deceptive Killers. This ominous designation was so applied to winter storms on account of the sharp increases of deaths that occur following the passing of such a storm.
Secondary Hazards of Winter Storms Most of these deaths are not due to direct exposure to the storm but are rather tied indirectly to the deceptive killer by way of traffic accidents, and extreme cold combined with the frequent loss of power following a debilitating winter storm. By being aware of how to fully prepare ahead of time for the onslaught of a winter storm, those individuals who live in cold areas will be able to guard themselves and provide defenses from the lethal winter storms of this year. Firstly, a family or individual can begin to prepare themselves by equipping their home or apartment with an emergency kit. This emergency kit should be ready equipped with the supplies and material that the individual or family will need to survive any disaster, a winter storm included. Items in the home's emergency kit should include things such as extra blankets, batteries, flashlights, clothing, canned or dried food stuffs and a supply of fresh water. These and other items as deemed by the family will be useful in any emergency but will likewise come in handy during a winter storm. Specific items that a family or individual may want to include in their emergency kits for the event of a winter storm might be a supply or rock salt or sand to provide traction along the exterior of the home, snow shovels, additional warm clothing or blankets, space blankets that reflect body heat, and fuel for an indoor stove or a battery powered portable space heater.
Being Prepared for Winter's Danger Taking precautions during the winter storm will also become paramount. Driving is especially dangerous on icy roads and should be avoided wherever possible.
If a person does need to drive somewhere during or immediately following a winter storm they should use extreme caution while doing so and be sure that they have medical health insurance as well as car insurance. They should inform someone of their destination and route as well as confirm they have arrived at that location once they have done so. Having up to day medical health insurance will provide an individual with the security and care they may need due to an injury sustained during a winter storm. Maintaining an up to date medical health insurance plan is a critical part of being prepared for winter storms By being prepared beforehand for a winter storm, individuals and families in the United States can be in the best position possible to not only weather the storm but mitigate damages to their home.

Well, as you can tell by my lack of posting, I haven't had much time lately. We have been SOOO busy!! You'd think after Christmas things would slow down, but definitely not this year; not with Easter coming so quickly!!! Hope and I have just gotten over being sick. I had a sinus and ear infection and Hope had a sinus infection. I actually lost my voice, which was NO fun at all!! So, we've both been on antibiotics the past week trying to get well. We've also had lots of family in. A few weekends ago we enjoyed a visit with my sister and her husband. Then, the very next weekend Stephen's parents and Collin and Janelle came to visit and help celebrate Stephen's birthday (HAPPY BIRTHDAY HONEY BUNNY!). Yup, that's right, Stephen is the big 2-7 now too. But remember, I am TWO weeks older than him, so he must respect his elders. ;) We did lots of stuff and had lots of fun with them and wish we could see them more. (Also wish I had taken pictures, but our camera is on the fritz. I'm lucky I got the ones that I posted!!) Anyway, with all this plus getting ready for Easter at the church, it's been a whirlwind lately.
Hope is doing really well other than being sick. She is sitting up without any support now. She is also rolling EVERYWHERE. She is not crawling yet, but is ALMOST there-anytime now. I'm going to try to get a video of her trying so everyone can see. At her last dr appt, she weighed 18.8, which is good. She is starting to eat chunks of food (stage 3's), but Mommy is still nervous to give her cheerios or any "grown-up" food. The very best thing happened this morning. She was singing in her crib just waiting for us to come get her and when Stephen peered over her crib to pick her up, we heard a very purposeful "DADA!!" It was SOO cute!!! Now, I have to admit, I am a teensy bit jealous and have been trying ever so patiently to get her to say "MAMA," but to no avail. Oh well, I'm sure it will come. I'm just happy she said her first words! She also knows "kitty," but of course can't say it yet.
Well that's about all that we have to report. We hope all our loved-ones are doing well. Check in when you can!

In "A Letter to a Member of the National Assembly," written in 1772, Edmund Burke describes the colonial relationship between England and India as poised between courtship and rape: 1767, he declared, marked the year when the "administration discovered that the East India Company were guardians to a very handsome and rich lady in Hindostan. Accordingly, they set parliament in motion; and parliament . . . directly became a suitor, and took the lady into its tender, fond, grasping arms, pretending all the while that it meant nothing but what was fair and honourable; that no rape or violence was intended; that its sole aim was to rescue her and her fortune out of the pilfering hands of a set of rapacious stewards, who had let her estate run to waste, and had committed various depredations." 1 By 1787, Burke amplified his criticism of Warren Hastings, the Governor General of Bengal between 1774 and 1785, charging him not only with promoting the economic rape of India but also with the literal rape of Indian women. Moved by his inflammatory rhetoric, Burke's colleagues in the House of Commons initiated proceedings to remove Hastings from the seat he then occupied in the House of Lords.
During the trial, Burke enumerated his charges against Warren Hastings, proclaiming not only that he had countenanced the use of sexual violence as a strategy of control by his colonial subordinates but that he had also personally "undone women of the first rank" in India, noting especially his humiliation of the Princesses of Oude in 1772-1773. In one speech, Burke vividly catalogued the barbaric treatment that Indian women received at the hands of Hastings and his men:

Comment history
Survey shows Lawrence crime rate higher than average in several categories
I'm somewhat repeating what a few other people have said, but this isn't too hard to figure out:
1) A higher concentration of young people mean a higher concentration of particular types of crime, especially violent crime...
2) It is entirely possible that crime rates will be higher when you have a strong police force that is doing its job well. The crime rate of is actually the rate of crime reporting, not actual crime occurrence...if all you want is for your official crime rate to be low, tell the police to arrest less people and ignore a strong portion of crimes.
3) While the crime rate might work as a public justification of increasing the number of officers and amount of money spent on police, in my opinion having more cops is just as likely to raise the crime rate as lower it. Why? You will have more cops in more places to catch more people doing what they are already doing that would not have been caught (and hence not a statistic) otherwise. People really need to realize that crime statistics do not directly represent the actual amount of crime being committed.

Lawrence city commission approves late-night food cart in downtown
I wonder if Doug and the LJW realized how much positive free press they just gave Last Stop in the last two days. Now instead of it just being some cart that is suddenly on the street, there is enthusiasm for this as a sustained idea. Being a street food vendor lover, I find this fantastically awesome.
Good job "dead before it begins" LJW on promoting something you are transparent opposed to (or whatever initial bias phrasing you had on yesterday's article).
I also love how narrow-minded a few business owners are. Done properly, Mass street after midnight could become a robust venue for food, with a variety of affordable options developing over time that would both keep more people on Mass to eat after the bars and attract people to downtown who otherwise would not be going there. Sure, a hot dog and burger cart can't do this, but hopefully a few street vendors offering unique possibilities to the community (BBQ, thai, desserts) will emerge if this took on as an idea....that could attract an entirely new base of people who don't put drinking or music first.
If a late-night food culture was allow to flourish on Mass, traditional vendors would be in a position to gain customers, not lose them, provided what they offer is actually worth buying.

Anna Undercover: What Do You Mean-- "Taxes"?!
griping about it is okay, big taxes and payments stink.
It is when people act like they are being treated unfairly when they knew it was coming that bothers me. I'll gripe about school debt alot...what crosses the line is when people act likely they are treated unjustly for having to pay debt back (well, the nonsense of adding on an expensive useless middle man to the federal loan program in the Bush era wasn't exactly a choice of those attending school...so I might gripe a bit about unfair treatment =P).
While people make choices psychologically and not rationally and therefore shouldn't be completely judged for outcomes, consequences for actions do not equal getting screwed over by the government (or banks, or your boss, etc.)

Anna Undercover: What Do You Mean-- "Taxes"?!
I appreciate your interest and admiration. I also to hope to be more constructive with criticism instead of just being an indiscriminate hammer dropper.
Do realize I don't plan on becoming your free 'at any moment you want' writing editor. Or a scheduled one. No one gets that entitlement on my time.
I feel that somewhere there was a mis-communication where your level of expectation has become greater than the level of support I was offering. I'm interested in broader support and trying to communicate ways to think about the purpose and content of your writing. Intensive textual reviews won't be possible. If I pretended to be interested in doing such, this would only lead to eventual disappointment on your part when I was continually unavailable to you or didn't follow through with much of anything you directly asked. Intensive time commitments to writing must be given to the things I actually write.
Here is my schedule. When I feel like it and it is convenient for me, I'll consider helping you with your writing. I'm not just being snarky for kicks here. If I told you of any other arrangement, I would be lying.

Tea party supporters rally for lower taxes, smaller government
They are ideologues that don't actually care about the facts or have principles.
You could say the same about the masses of democrats that treated the Patriotic Act as the end of democracy and treated the war like the atrocity it is...and now conveniently look the other way when their guy keeps these going. I know I do.

Tea party supporters rally for lower taxes, smaller government
Taxes are lower under Obama than Reagan. As part of the stimulus, 25 different taxes cuts aimed at 95% of American families and individuals happened in 2010, to all but the uppermost classes. With the exception of the richest, individual taxes under Obama are lower than at any time under Bush.
I actually think this is a mistake given the deficit (how can you cut taxes so widely when America owes so much?), but if you are going to cut taxes like Obama did, at least cut them broadly to the middle and working classes so they can have a widespread and capillary economic impact.
I know empirical facts have no meaning to tea party folks, but I find it hilarious that they have such a protracted and angry reaction to mythology woven whole cloth out of their own fact-free dogma. Fantasy thinking idiots.

Anna Undercover: What Do You Mean-- "Taxes"?!
I want to clarify one thing too:
When I wrote:
"Do you realize that these aren't the only stereotypes? Far more damning stereotypes to me are the ones that argue that strippers are shallow, vacuous, self-absorbed, naïve idiotic self-important drama queens with no common sense who are out of touch with reality. Why do you reinforce these with your writings?"
I did not mention that this is not how you come across in real life. Yes you are self-important and have a spotty relationship with realism (as do I =P), but the other false stereotypical stripper traits I mentioned largely don't fit you. What I didn't articulate is that I get frustrated that your writings come off this way to a much stronger degree compared to your real fundamental character. While I'm very honest about some of the flaws I think you have (as I am very honest about my own multitude of flaws), it pains me that I see your some elements of your writing doing the exact opposite of what you say the purpose of your writing is.
If one of your goals is to counter stripper stereotypes, posts like this aren't doing that. Yes you will have a handful of minions who want to protect/admire you no matter what (in fact they might sadly do so more if you come off as a naive giddy little girl in need of help), but is that what you want?
Ok, in the future I'll stop posting on this and just try to talk with you...or better yet, work on my own projects =)

Trendy traveller: Rita Ora jets out of London in backwards cap and leather pants as it emerges she is 'dating Tommy Hilfiger's son'
Keeping up with Rita Ora is a sport in itself - last week the talented singer wowed crowds in Madrid, Spain and on Friday she took to the stage at London's Wireless Festival to perform her upcoming collaboration, Black Widow, with Iggy Azalea.
And somewhere in between all of her jet-setting, she's reportedly managed to find time to strike up a romance with Tommy Hilfiger's son, following her recent split from Calvin Harris.
The I Will Never Let You Down hitmaker is said to have been been getting close to rapper Ricky Hil, the 24-year-old son of the prolific American fashion designer.

Not sticking around for long! Rita was spotted jetting out of London's Heathrow Airport on Monday morning after her weekend of fun
Monochrome magic: The singer looked effortlessly stylish in a tailored blazer, leather trousers and a backwards cap as she made her way through the airport
LA bound: 'Bringing it back.... LA see you soon!,' Rita wrote on Twitter
Ricky is said to be spending more time in London to be with Rita, 23, and the budding couple were spotted holding hands over dinner at Nobu on Saturday night, before heading off for party time at the Drury Club.
But Rita is an in-demand woman and on Monday the star was spotted jetting out of the country at London's Heathrow airport. 'Bringing it back.... LA see you soon!,' R.I.P. singer wrote on Twitter.
Keeping it cool yet casual in a cartoon print backwards cap, a black and white structured blazer, oversized sunglasses and leather pants, Rita chatted on her phone as she walked through the busy airport.

Chatty to Ricky? The singer has been spending time with Tommy Hilfiger's son
Chic accessories: She might have been heading on a long-haul flight but that didn't stop her from finishing off her look with stylish sunglasses and layered necklaces
Hard to keep up with! Last week the star was in Spain before returning to London to perform her upcoming hit Black Widow with Aussie rapper Iggy Azalea at Wireless Festival
Hot Right Now: Rita Ora is reportedly dating Tommy Hilfiger's son, pictured on a night out together on Saturday, following her recent split from Calvin Harris
They've even started dressing the same! Ricky is said to have been spending time with Rita during his current stint in Europe
Meanwhile a source told the Daily Mirror of her blossoming romance: 'Ricky came over to Europe to hang with Rita a bit more this summer. They really hit it off when they met and really like each other, so Rita invited him over to join her. They want to see where things might take them - they're just having a lot of fun.'
While Rita appears smitten with her new beau, it seems pals of the singer are less enthusiastic as they are wary of Ricky's bad boy past - including an arrest for cannabis possession in 2010.
The insider added: 'He's a bit of a bad boy and a real world away from clean-cut Calvin. He openly boasts about smoking weed all the time on Twitter and has released mix-tapes called Support Your Local Drug Dealer. People are worried he might not be the best influence on Rita right now.'
Plenty to smile about: Rita had a cheeky grin on her face as she arrived at LAX Airport later in the day
Stepping out in style: The starlet looked effortlessly on-trend for her long, transatlantic flight as she wandered through the arrivals terminal
Ready for her close-up: In spite of her long flight, Rita still looked picture perfect as she arrived in the US
Feeling camera shy? The I Will Never Let You Down hitmaker is said to have been been getting close to rapper Ricky Hil, the 24-year-old son of the prolific American fashion designer
And the new pals have wasted no time in making their close friendship known on social media, with Ricky taking to his Instagram page last week to post an amorous snap of the twosome cuddled up together.
Rapper Ricky was born in Connecticut as Richard Hilfiger and describes himself on his music website as 'a young, tatted, white guy with a rebellious lifestyle'.
The aspiring musician has released 18 mix-tapes, with the most successful being his most recent offering, Support Your Local Drug Dealer (SYLDD).
Suited and booted: Ricky is the son of famed American designer, Tommy Hilfiger, pictured earlier this year in New York City
Meanwhile, Rita and Calvin called time on their year-long relationship last month, and it's since been claimed the Scottish DJ ended the couple's relationship because the singer made a secret trip to Los Angeles.
The music producer was reportedly left unimpressed when his then-girlfriend appeared vague about her whereabouts when the pair flew into the US for separate visits at the same time - and was left furious when he coincidentally used the same driver as the I Will Never Let You Down hitmaker.
Moving on: Ricky is said to be spending more time in London to be with Rita, 23, and the budding couple were spotted holding hands over dinner at Nobu on Saturday night, before heading off for party time at the Drury Club
Dressed to impress: The pop princess certainly pulled out all the sartorial stops for her rumoured new beau
A source told The Sun: 'It all ended when the driver suggested to Calvin that he had taken Rita to a hotel two days earlier instead of driving her to stay with him.'
The Acceptable in the 80s hitmaker was said to be suspicious that Rita had even hidden in her make-up artist's hotel room for the day to avoid being photographed in public, which would have alerted Calvin to her presence.
But Rita appeared to make her feelings known on Monday night, when she enjoyed an evening in with her pals - while sporting a rather offensive motif jumper.

New flame: Friends are said to be worried that Ricky 'might not be the best influence' on Rita
Smokin' hot: Ricky has posted numerous pictures of himself posing with suspicious-looking cigarettes on his Twitter page
Proudly showing off the lewd garment on her Instagram page, the 23-year-old singer seeemed to be having the time of her life as she larked around with her friends.
Alongside one shot, she wrote: 'Cooking for the family.'
Rita addressed her split from Calvin for the first time last week, insisting via her Twitter page she has 'moved on' from the Scottish DJ.
The singer took to the social networking site to make a series of posts about her relationship woes, telling her 3.66million followers that she had an 'incredible time' with the 30-year-old producer.
So over it! Rita Ora has now addressed her split from Calvin Harris for the first time, insisting she has 'moved on' from the Scottish DJ

Writing on her Twitter page, she said: 'I don't usually address speculation but I've had an incredible time w Calvin,& i will treasure the memories.
'I've moved on from this topic so i hope people will respect that and do the same. Life can only be understood backwards but it must be lived forwards.(sic)'
Rita was said to have been left rather red-faced after learning that her relationship with Calvin Harris was over via Twitter.
The Scottish DJ took to the social networking site over the weekend to announce the couple's year-long romance was over, but it's been claimed the I Will Never Let You Down hitmaker was unaware her beau was going to release the statement.
A text is bad enough! Rita Ora is said to have been left rather red-faced after learning that her relationship with Calvin Harris was over via Twitter
A source told The Sun: 'Rita was left embarrassed when he tweeted that it was all over. She didn't think he was going to make the announcement, so she was shocked.'
After being spotted out and about in Hollywood with a series of women over the past few weeks, Calvin, 30, took to his Twitter page to address the rumour mill.
He wrote: 'To address speculation - myself and Rita ended our relationship some time ago. She is a beautiful, talented woman & I wish her all the best. (sic)'
Ouch! The Scottish DJ took to the social networking site over the weekend to announce the couple's year-long romance was over
No wonder she doesn't look impressed! It's been claimed the I Will Never Let You Down hitmaker was unaware her beau was going to release the statement
The couple - who collaborated on number one smash hit I Will Never Let You Down - first split in January for a couple of weeks.
Rita, 23, had also been seen partying and cosying up to other men in Instagram photographs and spent time been in Mexico with friends, including R&B singer Khalil Amir Sharieff, who was arrested in Miami with Justin Bieber earlier this year for drag racing.
The source said: 'It was Calvin's decision to end the relationship. They had been arguing for months and had grown apart. She was constantly posting snaps of her with other groups of friends and her trip to Mexico and photos of her with Khalil were the final straw.
In happier times: The couple - who collaborated on number one smash hit I Will Never Let You Down - first split in January for a couple of weeks
'Calvin likes more privacy than Rita and he hated the extra attention that came with being her boyfriend.'
Meanwhile, Justin Bieber is said to have been a factor in the couple's split, with TMZ reporting the Baby hitmaker's amorous behaviour in a recording studio a few months ago was the catalyst for the end of their romance.
A source told the website: 'Word got back to Calvin, Justin and Rita got touchy feely with each other while they were in the recording studio together over the last few months.
It's all over: The pair been dating for just over a year, and Rita declared that Calvin was the first person she had fallen in love with
'Calvin heard they were very affectionate - she would sit on his lap [and] he would rub her back.'
The couple were last seen together while at a taping of Watch What Happens Live in New York City at the end of April, but Rita has been publicly gushing about her man's talents after they collaborated for her latest number one.
Speaking on The Vodafone Big Top 40, she said: 'It was amazing. I always thought it was a bad idea to work with your partner. But I'm wrong! It was actually the most liberating, free, almost cleansing experience.
'I felt like I didn't have to be anybody but myself in that room. It was so refreshing to do that.'
A well-earned break: Rita, 23, has been spending time with friends in Mexico in the wake of the split
Rita - who previously dated Rob Kardashian - has previously addressed the difficulties associated with long-distance relationships, but admitted Calvin was her first love.
She told the Daily Mirror: 'You have to fly each other out, you just have to. Sometimes you fly for 20 hours, sometimes you only fly for five hours. It's an effort, but you make it work.
'I'm not a fan of long distance relationships. If you had a choice, you want that person with you. It makes me pretty sad. But you work with what you've got.'
Speaking to Elle magazine in February, she said: 'There are so many things. The fact that he got something out of me that I never thought I had. Yes, like falling in love. I just didn't think I had it.
'I'd never experienced it before. And I was just like in the wilderness, thinking, "Will it ever happen?"'
A representative for Rita Ora declined to comment when approached by MailOnline.
Single and ready to mingle: Calvin has been spotted out and about with a whole host of beautiful women since the split, including supermodel Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, who is dating actor Jason Statham

John Lee, a minister in Margaret Thatcher's government in the Eighties, is living proof that serious wealth can be made from tucking away money in a stocks and shares Isa each year.
Telegraph Money asked him to name the shares he held in his Isa today and to explain how he has reshaped his portfolio since August 2013, when a rule change allowed shares listed on London's junior Aim market to be held in Isas for the first time.
How Lord Lee has reshaped his Isa portfolio over the past couple of years Lord Lee's investment approach is simple: to buy established, profitable businesses that pay dividends.
At present he holds 20 shares in his Isa, eight of which belong to the Aim market.
"I think private investors should be able to support small businesses that need the capital to grow, while at the same time avoiding taxes on income, capital gains and inheritance if held for two years." Since the rule change, Lord Lee has reshaped his Isa portfolio to introduce Aim shares.
After becoming an Isa millionaire, Lord Lee no longer felt the need to make full use of his Isa allowance, saying he had put only a "Modest" amount of new capital into the savings schemes since reaching the landmark.
The shares he is buying in 2015 This Isa season Lord Lee said he had reinvested some of his profits into Quarto, the publisher, because the shares were cheap, currently trading on a price to earnings ratio of 10.
How to Make a Million – Slowly: My Guiding Principles from a Lifetime of Successful Investing by John Lee is priced at £14.39.

Inspired by a passion for design and an admiration for the power it has to turn ideas into objects Design Ideation is the result of more than two decades of exploration into the potential of Design Thinking and behavioral intelligence. Impressed by the influence that imagination and visualization can have on project outcomes, Paul DeVetter, our founder set out to package the creative and logical thinking that drives inspiration. The goal was to build a model that could be shared with anyone who is motivated to learn and get better at what they do. Stream Logic™ was born.
Intrigued by the science of human behavior and the importance of connections in our lives, it didn't take long to uncover some connections that would prove beneficial to the objectives of personal development and an intuitive existence. Paul linked truth, wisdom and the "Circle of Life" to the rhythm, language and harmony of the natural world around us just as the Greeks, Leonardo DaVinci, Albert Einstein and many other artists, philosophers and scientists in our history had done before. Understanding human behavior is at the heart of design thinking.
Values based cultures such as the Native American Indians recognized the power of the "Circle of Life" and built their entire existence around this connection to the natural world. They understood the importance of leadership and having the right kind of experiences. They practiced "Elder Logic" to reach a deep, intuitive understanding of the world around us.
The flow of design thinking has a connection to the natural progression of human behavior that drives intuition. This progression is predictable and makes teaching and learning more meaningful and longer lasting. These are the same behaviors that enable artists, athletes and musicians to be at their best. Playing "in a zone" is possible because the athlete is intuitive from dedicated practice. Playing "in a groove" is possible because the musician is intuitive from diligent preparation. Excellence comes from having the right kind of experiences.
Our design process and our education methodology are built around this Intuition Stream™ which features Imagination, Discovery, Visualization, Knowledge and Intuition. The seed if innovation is imagination, it begins to grow with discovery, starts to blossom with visualization, springs to life with knowledge and reaches a greater glory with intuition.

Tokyo Two centuries after the dawn of the industrial age, the world today takes its first concerted step to roll back the emission of "greenhouse gases" believed linked to climate change with the enactment of the Kyoto global warming pact.
The agreement, negotiated in Japan's ancient capital of Kyoto in 1997 and ratified by 140 nations, calls on 35 industrialized countries to rein in the release of carbon dioxide and five other gases from the burning of oil and coal and other processes.
Its impact, however, will be limited by the absence of the United States, the world's leader in greenhouse gas emissions.
Proponents say the stakes are high: The gases are believed to trap heat in the atmosphere, contributing to rising global temperatures that are melting glaciers, raising ocean levels and threatening dramatic and potentially damaging climate change in the future.
Implementation of the agreement was delayed by a struggle to meet the requirement that countries accounting for 55 percent of the world's emissions ratify it. That goal was reached last year -- nearly seven years after the pact had been negotiated -- with Russia's approval.
The Clinton administration signed the protocol in 1997, but the U.S. Senate refused to ratify it, citing potential damage to the U.S. economy and insisting that it also cover countries with fast-growing economies such as China and India.
The White House has contended that complying with the treaty could cost millions of jobs, many of them to places like India and China, both signers of Kyoto but exempted from any limits on greenhouse gases.
Japan had an elaborate celebration planned for the enactment of the agreement today at the convention hall where it was negotiated in December 1997.
A series of speeches and a panel discussion was planned with environmental officials, experts and activists, as well as 2004 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Wangari Maathai of Kenya. The festivities were featuring messages from U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan and environmental officials around the world.

This week, I'm excited to be sharing a brand new product with you! Some of you may or may not know, but Silhouette will be introducing stencil material really, really soon! That's right, I said Stencil Material! Are you as excited about this as I am? I know you are going to love it too! What's not to love, right?
Before we get too technical here, let's start off with something fun. . . picking shapes from the Silhouette Online Store. I love searching for just the perfect shape for a project! For this project, I mostly picked Valentine's Day related shapes. If you are doing a similar project, you can pick anything you want. If you want to know which shapes I used, please check out my reference list at the bottom of this post. For the first example, I will be using the 3″ x 4″ Valentine Life Cards. Are you ready?
First, open a new document. Select a 12″ x 12″ document with no cutting mat (we will be cutting this design out of the new Stencil Material). Go to the Silhouette Online Store and select your graphic. I'll be using the 3″ x 4″ Valentine Life Cards. Once you've opened the graphic, you'll want to ungroup the image by right clicking on the image and selecting ungroup. Then delete the items that you won't be working with. I actually left the little "Feb 14" image too. You may have to ungroup more than once to delete everything you don't want.
Now, all you should have left is the word "Love". My bags are a 4″ x 6″ so I created a box that was 4″ x 5." Then I placed the word "Love" on top of that box. Select both the heart and the "LVE" and resize to fit inside the box. I just made mine a little larger. In hindsight, I would have made my box the full 4″ x 6″ to give me a little more protection when stenciling. I'm a messy crafter and tend to get a little wild with my paint. Had I made my box a little larger, it would have protected more of the bag. This image was intended for printing, so we have one more step to get this image ready for cutting. Open the Trace window and uncheck "High Pass Filter." Then increase the threshold to around 80% and select "Trace." Now your image is ready to cut. In order to maximize your Stencil Material, I would create a few more designs, which is what I did. I selected 2 Love Fish, one of the hearts from the 4 Hearts set, and the 'I Love Mustache' phrase.
To cut your stencil, send your images to the Silhouette machine. Set your rollers to 13″, load the stencil material into the Silhouette machine using "Load Media" select Stencil as your media and follow the cutting settings.
Place the stencil on your muslin bag. Make sure you put a piece of cardboard inside your bag so the stencil doesn't bleed through. Just use a small amount of paint. I dipped the brush into the paint and then blotted it on a paper plate before I applied it to the bag. That removed a lot of the excess paint!

It's time, y'all. Time to learn about the realities of nursing, burn-out, and depression. Because err'body should know that the Soctopus is depressed. The last few weeks have been rough. Very rough. Work has been particularly ugly, and the personal life is not much better. Mr. Soctopus is traveling for work about 75-80% of the time, so the Soctopus is on her own. A lot. Combine those two factors, and you have one depressed cephalopod.
Problem the 1st: work. You see, the Soctopus works for a small hospital. A small hospital that was purchased by a larger hospital, which has now taken over. What does this mean for the Soctopus? It means things are changing at work, including sicker patients and higher patient loads. New policies. All of this is surmountable, but in the short term means a lot more work. However, all of these factors combined this past week to make a confluence of utter and complete fuckery at work. A shit-storm of epic proportions. We had several rapid responses called on patients, with the week capped by a code blue that was not successful. The Soctopus worked almost 60 hours this week. Please do that math. It's not pretty.
Problem the 2nd: Mr. Soctopus and his travelin' man ways. You see, Mr. Soctopus travels for work. In the last year, that travel has morphed into traveling greater than 70% of the time. So the little missus is left alone. Often. This means that when work is hard on the Soctopus, and things go badly, the Soctopus comes home to an empty house. No one to talk to. No one to vent to. No one to give the Soctopus a hug. So the Soctopus has been slowly getting sadder and angrier over the past few months. Because the Soctopus is, for all intents and purposes, single. Work is hard. Coming home to an empty house is harder. Bottling it all inside is harder still. The Soctupus sometimes feels like a shaken soda bottle with the cap on. No one knows when it's going to blow, they just know that it will, and it won't be pretty.
So what do you do when there just isn't a "safe" place in your life? Who do you talk to when your partner isn't available, and you don't want to burden your friends? How do you cope with feeling alone, angry, and so, so sad? The Soctopus just doesn't know anymore.
