Murder, Theft, & Secret Codes: Eleven Unsolved Literary Mysteries
1. Who Really Wrote "The Night Before Christmas?" Clement Clarke Moore was the first to claim authorship of the classic poem. But the family of Henry Livingston Jr. begs to differ. Poetic forensics, a house fire, and a link to Washington Irving deepen the mystery. Stacy Conradt, writing for Mental Floss, takes on the mystery. … Continue reading »
Battle of the Book Titans, con't.
A few weeks ago, at the height of the Amazon-Hachette kerfuffle, we offered our perspective: namely, that there were no angels here, and that rabid defense of either party was a bit misguided. Traditional publishing (represented by Hachette) and Amazon have been incredibly beneficial for some. They've also made things quite difficult for others. The … Continue reading »

On Sunday The Conductor brought you a bunch of Mashups that rocked your weekend. One of those mashups was one done by DOSVEC.
I'm going to throw it out there and say that DOSVEC is my favourite mashup maker right now. It's hard to not get excited when a new DOSVEC mix comes across the news feed. Well he has done it again with the Feeling Good mashup.
This one features a ton of a capellas over a Flo Rida instrumental, but my favourite transition comes at the 2:50 point when DOSVEC breaks things down into Ellie Gouldings The Lights. Check out the stream below and download this one while you still can.

Lara bars are another one of my main go to bars. They are the cheapest bars out of the ones I use and the most readily available. The bars themselves are gluten-free, kosher, non GMO, and vegan. However, they do not claim on their labels to be vegan because some of the bars contain chocolate chips that are made in a facility that produces chocolate chips that contain milk products even though the ones they use in their bars do not. They cannot be sure that cross contamination has not occurred so they chose to not state vegan in their labels. Their claim to fame is that all of their bars are made from 2-9 ingredients each.
Each bar contains around 200 calories and is made mostly of various dried fruits and nuts. For example, their carrot cake bar, pictures above, is made of dates, almonds, walnuts, raisins, pineapple, unsweetened coconut, carrots, and extra virgin coconut oil. The bars are chewy and contain chunks of whole nuts and seeds, similarly to the raw revolution bars. These bars are simpler, with less ingredients than the raw revolution bars, but are as equally delicious.
There are 19 different flavors, however, I do not eat all of the flavors because some of them contain juice concentrates over the real fruits, and so I try to avoid those. Some of them also contain chocolate chips which contain sugar, which i generally try to avoid as well. All of that said, there are still 11 flavors available that do not have added sugar or juice concentrates in them. A few of my favorites are peanut butter and jelly, cherry pie, and pecan pie 🙂
You can buy them online or at various stores such as trader joes, whole foods, Dillons, and many others. Like I stated before, they are the easiest to get a hold of. Depending on what part of the country you are in, the bars generally run between $1 and $1.50 per bar or you can buy boxes of them online for around $25 for 16 bars. What do you think of Lara Bars?

Natural Beauty
People tend to look at photographs too quickly, superficially. They make assumptions of familiarity. I want to slow the viewer down to appreciate in more detail the beauty of the natural world. We see the world in pieces and put it together in our imaginations—a new reality. Each time we look, the fragments reconstitute themselves with subtle differences, a second look nuanced with small changes. In this series, the spacesbetween the image sections, like the leading in a stained glass window, become an integral part of the composition.I have printed these photographs with one of the oldest photographic materials—platinum—for its extravagantly long tonal range, depth, and permanence. The warm black, grey, and brown tones of the photographs further abstract the image, making it still easier to reconfigure the pieces and imagine the whole. My subject matter, as always, comes mostly from my own garden— I can wander out of my garage darkroom directly into my garden to sit among the roses, peonies, grasses, dogwood, rhododendrons, and iris while waiting for a fifteen minute platinum exposure— a meditation that is reassuring and inspiring.
Floating World
While rummaging through a used book store in Princeton, New Jersey, I discovered a volume of haiku and tanka translated by Kenneth Rexroth and Ikuko Atsumi in 1977. The poems were by Japanese women from the 7th through the 20th centuries and represent all the major styles during this period—from the Classical to Contemporary schools. I was immediately drawn to the poems, and as I read them—so allusive and rich in imagery—I knew that I wanted to make their photographic equivalents. The Floating World refers to the conception of a world as evanescent, impermanent, of fleeting beauty and divorced from the responsibilities of the mundane, everyday world. For the poets in this volume, that world centered on love—longing for love and the beloved, mourning lost love, pondering its mystery. The beauty of the natural world—its flowers, landscape, the moon, and the changing seasons—serves as the primary metaphor.
Original calligraphy by Richard Man.
Bella Figura
These painted images start out as black and white (gelatin silver) prints that I create in my darkroom. Deciding when and how to paint an image is intuitive for me–some images lend themselves to the transformations of oil paint and others don't. I use all kinds of oil paints, not just photo oils, to create images interpreting my memory and imagination more than reality. I use cotton swabs of varying sizes instead of brushes to apply paint and remove bits of it with an art eraser to create highlights and other effects.
There's a magic for me in applying the paints–moving them around on the image, layering them, deepening the shadows and opening the highlights. Though the images are editioned, each one is unique,and I try to make the images in an edition as similar to each other as possible.
Painting on photographs is an old tradition, and I like to think I put a modern spin on it.

On Sky
WEST Bromwich Albion take on Charlton Athletic in what promises to be a real Christmas cracker of a 'battle of the hot shots' in front of the Sky cameras.
The two teams currently occupy the top two spots in the official Football League index of shooting stats.
In their 21 Championship games to date, Albion have registered 175 shots on target and 124 off, while Charlton have had 153 on and 142 off. Both teams have also hit the woodwork 12 times.
Charlton also top the Form Guide index, with 12 points from their last six games, with the Baggies back in fifth place with 11 points.
Vital Quotes:
Manager Tony Mowbray has revealed that players returning from injury haven't been shy in pushing their claim for a starting place on Saturday.
He told the club's official website: 'Some of them are ready, some aren't. But they're all training exceptionally well and looking bright as buttons.'
West Bromwich Albion Team News:
West Bromwich Albion manager Tony Mowbray has some tough selection decisions to make ahead of Saturday`s 'battle of the hot shots` with promotion rivals Charlton Athletic.
Paul Robinson and Bostjan Cesar have both completed their one-match suspension and he has seven first-team regulars all returning to fitness after recovering from knee injuries.
Mowbray is unlikely to want to risk bringing them all back at once, especially with the hectic Christmas programme just around the corner.
However, he will doubtless be keen to throw leading scorers Kevin Miller and Ishmael Miller back into the mix as soon as possible. The pair have bagged 17 goals between them in League games so far this season and they have been sorely missed in recent games.
Phillips seems the most advanced in his recovery and Mowbray may decided to partner him with Roman Bednar, who has netted four times in four games playing the lone striker role in the 4-5-1 formation Mowbray has adopted in the absence of his main strike force.
The manager also has to take into account the claims of defenders Shelton Martis and Pedro Pele, who were oustanding in the 2-1 victory at Leicester City last Saturday, and that of Craig Beattie who scored a peach of a goal to settle the game in Albion`s favour after coming on as a 73rd minute substitute.
Player to watch: Luke Steele
Dean Kiely's broken toe gives the former Manchester United youngster the chance to claim the goalkeeper's jersey for himself.
Charlton Athletic Team News:
Charlton manager Alan Pardew has the kind of selection problem that Tony Mowbray had to contend with at Leicester last weekend.
He has defenders Jonathan Fortune and Danny Mills and midfielder Lloyd Sam out suspended to add to long-term injury victims Grant Basey and Ben Thatcher, both defenders.
Pardew is also sweating on the fitness of former England international Chris Powell, who sustained a head injury near the end of the 3-1 win over Ipswich Town last weekend. Concussion was diagnosed and it`s touch and go whether Powell will have fully recovered in time.
Almost certain to line-up in the centre of the Addicks is Sam Sodje, who followed his loan spell at The Hawthorns last term with a season`s loan move to The Valley.
Player to watch: Chris Iwelumo
The 30-year-old free-transfer signing from Colchester United is spearheading Charlton's promotion push with eight goals in 19 appearances.
Match Facts & Stats
Charlton hold a slight advantage in head-to-head meetings between the two clubs since they first met in an FA Cup tie way back in 1923, Charlton winning 1-0.
Albion have claimed 19 wins to Charlton's 21 with 15 matches drawn.
Ref Watch:
Mr P Taylor (Hertfordshire)
Mr Taylor has been a busy man with the yellow cards this season, showing 54 in 18 games, together with two red cards.
Next Fixture:
Stoke City v West Bromwich Albion
Britannia Stadium, Saturday December 22nd
Kick-off: 3pm

On March 17 we became the proud owners of a white 1995 Ford Clubwagon. This lovely vehicle has seating for 15 . . . count 'em . . . 15! It is easy to drive (except on today's snowy, slippery roads), the gas gauge and the windshield wipers actually work on all speeds, and it provides plenty of space for all of our kiddos including Abby. In fact, our 6 look pretty lonely rattling around in there.
On Saturday, March 19 -- which was unofficially the first day of Spring Break -- Scheri and I got to take Mr. Stevo over to the ER for a gash on the back of his head. The crazy thing is that no one really knows how he got it. I'd gone over to my Mom and Dad's and when I walked back in the house, Kevin was cooking, Scheri was washing dishes and Steven was huddled under a chair crying. Seconds later, Billy was running and hollering, "He's bleeding! He's bleeding!" Sure enough, he was but no one had heard or seen what happened. As best as we can guess he had fallen and caught his head on a sharp metal edge on the chair. Anyway, we washed it up, covered it up with a clean damp wash cloth, held it in place with a scarf and headed over to St. Luke's. They ended up just gluing the gash closed. I personally was glad there was no need for stitches or staples.
Saturday the 26th I got to send some funds via Money Gram for English tutoring for Abby.
And today school was back in session.

English tutoring sounds wonderful. :) I know we wouldn't be able to put it to use for Paula, but maybe for a few of the others. I hope their area offers that. :)ReplyDelete
We too have a 15 passenger. The big white machine will not be big enough once all of ours get home though. We will have 17 kids when everyone arrives home. :)
Amanda, I am so impressed with how interested the director is in Abby's transition. And since it's the same director . . . ?? Actually though, are all your kids in the same area or are they spread around?ReplyDelete

Darin Ingels, ND, FAAEM
Darin Ingels, ND, FAAEM
Dr. Ingels is a respected leader in natural medicine with numerous publications, international lectures and more than 26 years experience in the healthcare field. He received his Bachelor of Science degree in medical technology from Purdue University and his Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine from Bastyr University in Seattle, Washington. Dr. Ingels completed a residency program at the Bastyr Center for Natural Health. Prior to attending medical school, Dr. Ingels worked as a clinical microbiologist/immunologist at Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge, IL. He is a Fellow in good standing with the American Academy of Environmental Medicine.
Dr. Ingels is a licensed naturopathic physician in the State of Connecticut and a licensed Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine in the State of California, where he maintains practices in both states. He is also Board certified in Integrated Pediatrics by the American Association of Integrative Medicine. Dr. Ingels is a member of the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians, the American Association of Integrative Medicine, the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS), the American Academy of Environmental Medicine and many State associations. Dr. Ingels is currently a Board member of the American Academy of Environmental Medicine and former Board member of the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians.
Dr. Ingels has been published extensively and is the author of The Natural Pharmacist: Lowering Cholesterol (Prima, 1999) and Natural Treatments for High Cholesterol (Prima, 2000). He is a former medical journalist and contributing author to Healthnotes Newswire, a medical report of the latest journal articles on nutritional and botanical medicine. He has also written a chapter on allergy desensitization for autistic children in "Cutting Edge Therapies for Autism" (Skyhorse, 2014). He is the author of the upcoming book on Lyme disease, The Lyme Solution: A 5-Part Plan to Fight the Inflammatory Auto-Immune Response and Beat Lyme Disease (Avery, March 2018), which will cover an integrative, natural approach to the treatment and management of Lyme disease.
Dr. Ingels' practice focuses on environmental medicine with special emphasis on chronic immune dysfunction, including Lyme disease, autism, allergies, asthma, PANDAS, recurrent or persistent infections and other genetic or acquired immune problems. His practice is comprised of both children and adults. He uses diet, nutrients, herbs, homeopathy and immunotherapy to help his patients achieve better health.
Jaquel Patterson, ND, MBA
Jaquel Patterson, ND, MBA is a naturopathic physician with over 10 years of clinical experience and is the current President for the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians. Her practice focuses on autoimmune conditions and chronic immune dysfunction, bone and joint pain, Lyme disease, asthma and allergy, childhood disorders and anxiety/depression.
Dr. Patterson had a passion for alternative medicine at an early age. Being of mixed heritage, Black and Chinese, she observed the benefits of alternative healing practices at home.
Further inspiration for pursuing naturopathic medicine came from her adolescence when Dr. Patterson saw her mother struggle with lupus and rheumatoid arthritis and noticed the many unmet needs in the conventional treatments; this instilled in her, a desire and hope for a better way to provide care.
After completing her undergraduate degree at Cornell University and working a few years in the business field, she pursued and completed her doctoral degree at the University of Bridgeport, College of Naturopathic Medicine.
Since then, she has pursued a path of medicine with the core naturopathic tenets in mind "treat the whole person" and find the underlying cause of disease. Her approach is anything but traditional, aiming to meet people where they are at, creating a comfortable space and environment to get to the root cause of disease, and partnering and empowering others to, as she says, "get back to self".
Dr. Patterson additionally has extensive experience as a presenter both nationally and locally on integrative medicine and pain management, chronic disease conditions, autoimmune conditions and its application in clinical practice. She's had multiple appearances on Channel 12 news, Cablevision's Health Talk, Bottom Line on Your Health and Green Medics radio and written publications like Naturopathic Doctor News & Review (NDNR).
She is the co-chair for DMHAS Statewide Integrative Medicine Collaborative, is a Medical Advisor for ZyCal Bioceuticals Healthcare, served on the Provider Advisory Council for the State of Connecticut's Patient Centered Medical Home and Advisory Board for the State Innovation Model.
She has additional experience in the realm of community and public health as a healthcare executive, serves on non-profit boards and is a community ambassador for the Lupus Foundation of America.

There is an unusually cryptic reference at the end of the first book of the Stromata, written c. 193 CE, by Clement of Alexandria. No reasonable person could possibly guess that it would lead us back to the Samaritan origins of Christianity. It is simply an unusual statement - one of many in the writings of this Church Father. We read:
δεῖ δὴ τὴν διοικοῦσαν πρόνοιαν κυρίαν τε εἶναι καὶ ἀγαθήν. ἀμφοῖν γὰρ ἡ δύναμις οἰκονομεῖ σωτηρίαν, ἣ μὲν κολάσει σωφρονίζουσα ὡς κυρία, ἣ δὲ δι' εὐποιίας χρηστευομένη ὡς εὐεργέτις. ἔξεστι δὲ μὴ εἶναι ἀπειθείας υἱόν, ἀλλὰ μεταβαίνειν ἐκ τοῦ σκότους εἰς ζωὴν καὶ παραθέντα τῇ σοφίᾳ τὴν ἀκοὴν νόμιμον εἶναι θεοῦ δοῦλον μὲν τὰ πρῶτα, ἔπειτα δὲ πιστὸν γενέσθαι θεράποντα, φοβούμενον κύριον τὸν θεόν, εἰ δέ τις ἐπαναβαίη, τοῖς υἱοῖς ἐγκαταλέγεσθαι, ἐπὰν δὲ ἀγάπη καλύψῃ πλῆθος ἁμαρτιῶν, μακαρίας ἐλπίδος τελείωσιν αὐξηθέντα ἐν ἀγάπῃ ἐκδέχεσθαι τοῦτον ἐγκαταταγέντα τῇ ἐκλεκτῇ υἱοθεσίᾳ τῇ φίλῃ κεκλημένῃ τοῦ θεοῦ, ᾄδοντα ἤδη τὴν εὐχὴν καὶ λέγοντα· γενέσθω μοι κύριος εἰς θεόν.
It is essential, certainly, that the providence which manages all, be both supreme and good. For it is the power of both that dispenses salvation -- the one correcting by punishment, as supreme, the other showing kindness in the exercise of beneficence, as a benefactor. It is in your power not to be a son of disobedience, but to pass from darkness to life, and lending your ear to wisdom, to be the legal slave of God, in the first instance, and then to become a faithful servant, fearing the Lord God. And if one ascend higher, he is enrolled among the sons. But when "charity covers the multitude of sins," by the consummation of the blessed hope, then may we welcome him as one who has been enriched in love, and received into the elect adoption, which is called the beloved of God, while he chants the prayer, saying, "Let the Lord be my God." [Clement Stromata 1.27.173]
There are so many ideas contained in this short section of text, it is difficult to make out exactly what Clement is driving at. Nevertheless by the end of our analysis we will find ourselves facing the mount Gerizim, the holiest place on earth for Samaritans and many Jews at the turn of the Common Era.[1]
We should immediately recognize passage is rooted in the traditional Alexandrian Jewish conception of the godhead. We learn from Philo God made himself known to the world through two principal heavenly powers. The first ὁ κύριος, the Greek translation of the Hebrew יהוה, the power who is understood to dispense 'chastisements' (σωφρονίζουσα) upon humanity. The other is θεὸς, identified specifically as ὁ χρηστὸς θεὸς 'the kind God' in the writings of Philo, the power associated with 'beneficence' (εὐποιία).[2] The names appear in early Alexandrian writings but also at the Marcionite inscription discovered in Deir Ali, Syria, one of the oldest remains of Christian gathering house.[3]
Yet Clement has in mind the 'prayer' (εὐχὴν) of Jacob in Gen 28:21 LXX which scholars have puzzled over for centuries. After experiencing his vision of angels and the ladder from heaven, Jacob names the place 'Bethel' and proceeds to make a most unusual vow:
If God will be with me and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and clothing to put on, so that I come again to my father's house in peace, then the Lord shall be my God. and this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, shall be God's house; and of all that you give me, I will give the tenth to you.
The natural reading of the material would suggest that Clement is interested in the passage because of Jacob's vow to make Yahweh his god. Yet anyone making this assumption would be sorely mistaken. Clement's is certainly channeling Philo's exegesis of the material which - strangely - understands Jacob to have turned away from ὁ κύριος and vowed to devote himself to θεὸς.
The first reference to the passage in the writings of Philo appear in De Plantatione where after citing citing the appearance of the two divine names together in Gen 21:33 LXX - ἐπεκαλέσατο τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου θεὸς αἰώνιος - explains:
the appellations already mentioned reveal the powers existing in the living God; for one title is that of Lord, according to which he governs; and the other is God, according to which he is beneficent. For which reason also, in the account of the creation of the world, according to the most holy Moses, the name of God is always assumed by him: for it was fitting that the power according to which the Creator, when he was bringing his creatures into the world, arranged and adorned them, should be invoked also by that creation. Inasmuch, therefore, as he is a ruler, he has both powers, that, namely, of doing good, and that of doing harm; regulating his conduct on the principle of requiting him who has done anything. But inasmuch as he is a benefactor, he is inclined only to one of these two courses, namely, to do good. And it would be the greatest possible advantage to the soul no longer to feel any doubt about the power of the King for both purposes, but steadily to emancipate itself from the fear, which is suspended over it, on account of the vastness of his authority, and to kindle and keep alive a most firm hope of the acquisition and enjoyment of blessings arising from his being beneficent by deliberate intention. Now the expression, "everlasting God," is equivalent to, God who bestows gifts, not sometimes giving and sometimes not, but always and incessantly; it is equivalent to, God who does good uninterruptedly; to God who, without intermission, is connecting a flow of benefits, coming one after the other; God, who pours forth blessings upon blessings, who is made up of mercies connected and united; God, who never omits any single opportunity of doing good; God, who is also the Lord, so that he is able to injure.
This also Jacob, the practiser of virtue, asked at the end of his most holy prayers. For he said, "And the Lord shall be to me as God." Which is equivalent to: He will no longer display towards me the despotic power of his absolute authority, but rather the beneficent influence of his universally propitious and saving power, utterly removing the fear with which he is regarded as a master, and filling the soul with affection and benevolence as felt towards a benefactor. What soul could ever conceive thus that the master and ruler of the universe, without changing anything of his own nature, but remaining in the condition in which he always was, is continually kind and uninterruptedly bounteous? owing to which he is, to those who are happy, the most perfect cause of unlimited and overflowing blessings. And to trust in a king who is not by reason of the magnitude of his authority elated so as to do injury to his subjects, but who, through his love to mankind, prefers that every one should enjoy happiness without fear, is the greatest possible bulwark of prosperity and security. [De Plantatione 88 - 93]
Here Philo refers to the vow in Gen 28:21 with the same terminology employed by Clement - εὐῶν - and the same idea of two powers in heaven appears. It is difficult to argue that Clement is appropriating his ideas from the Jewish Alexandrian master.
Yet isn't it heretical to suggest that Jacob outgrew 'the Lord' and embraced another being - God - instead?The very same idea is reinforced by another passage from Philo's De Somniis only now we see a tripartite division of humanity which lines up with Clement's grades of 'fear of God,' 'being enrolled among the sons' and 'elect adoption' (ἐκλεκτῇ υἱοθεσίᾳ) which is called beloved of God (τῇ φίλῃ κεκλημένῃ τοῦ θεοῦ). Philo intimates earlier that Jacob represents the individual who rises from the lowest ranks (fear) and proceeds to the two next steps to perfection embodied by Abraham and Isaac:
But do not fancy that it is an accidental thing here for him to be called in this place the God and Lord of Abraham, but only the God of Isaac; for this latter is the symbol of the knowledge which exists by nature, which hears itself, and teaches itself, and learns of itself; but Abraham is the symbol of that which is derived from the teaching of others; and the one again is an indigenous and native inhabitant of his country, but the other is only a settler and a foreigner; for having forsaken the language of those who indulge in sublime conversations about astronomy, a language imitating that of the Chaldaeans, foreign and barbarous, he was brought over to that which was suited to a rational being, namely, to the service of the great Cause of all things. Now this disposition stands in need of two powers to take care of it, the power that is of authority, and that of conferring benefits, in order that in accordance with the authority of the governor, it may obey the admonitions which it receives, and also that it may be greatly benefited by his beneficence. But the other disposition stands in need of the power of beneficence only; for it has not derived any improvement from the authority which admonishes it, inasmuch as it naturally claims virtue as its own, but by reason of the bounty which is showered upon it from above, it was good and perfect from the beginning; therefore God is the name of the beneficent power, and Lord is the title of the royal power. What then can any one call a more ancient and important good, than to be thought worthy to meet with unmixed and unalloyed beneficence? And what can be less valuable than to receive a mixture of authority and liberality? And it appears to me that it was because the practiser of virtue saw that he uttered that most admirable prayer that, "the Lord might be to him as God;" (Gen 28:21) for he desired no longer to stand in awe of him as a governor, but to honour and love him as a benefactor. Now is it not fitting that even blind men should become sharpsighted in their minds to these and similar things, being endowed with the power of sight by the most sacred oracles, so as to be able to contemplate the glories of nature, and not to be limited to the mere understanding of the words? But even if we voluntarily close the eye of our soul and take no care to understand such mysteries, or if we are unable to look up to them, the hierophant himself stands by and prompts us. And do not thou ever cease through weariness to anoint thy eyes until you have introduced those who are duly initiated to the secret light of the sacred scriptures, and have displayed to them the hidden things therein contained, and their reality, which is invisible to those who are uninitiated. It is becoming then for you to act thus; but as for ye, O souls, who have once tasted of divine love, as if you had even awakened from deep sleep, dissipate the mist that is before you; and hasten forward to that beautiful spectacle, putting aside slow and hesitating fear, in order to comprehend all the beautiful sounds and sights which the president of the games has prepared for your advantage. [De Somniis 1.161 - 165]
Abraham is a figure of knowledge gained by instruction (διδασκoμεvης). Abraham needs both powers, punishing and kindly powers, called Lord and God, whereas Isaac needs only the kind power that is called God (Somn 1:162). The previous interpretations of ladder and mediators are thus echoed. To a new understanding, to understanding divinity as God (κυριoς εις θεov) man is exhorted in Somn 1:163, and the text quoted the prayer of Jacob in Gen 28:21.

Lunch - The Alford Arms (again)
Labels: our favorite places to eat
As some of you know I have a friend visiting with me for two weeks. Her name is Nancy and she is a dear friend and we are so happy to have her with us. We went out for lunch at one of our favorite places yesterday. The Alford Arms is one of our favorite places to go. The food was delicious as it usually is and we even split a dessert which was out of this world. My friend and I had Parma ham and fontina fre range chicken supreme on boulangere potatoes with broad bean pistou.
Boulangere potatoes are potatoes sliced very thinly with onions sliced the same way, then you just layer them up in a greased dish. Pour over hot stock and bake for 1 hour in a hot oven. The are really good. We were not disappointed. My husband had Smoked haddock on wilted spinach with sarratt watercress hollandaise. It was equally wonderful as I had a little "sample" just to make sure.
Nancy and I then split a dessert of rich chocolate and walnut tart with malted milk ice cream. At the time I wished we had gotten two it was that good.
This place never, ever disappoints. We go here for all special occasions. They don't advertise as they don't have to their food speaks for itself. The staff are very friendly and helpful. If you want to find the Alford Arms a google search will do it. They have multiple locations.

Keynote Lectures
Wir freuen uns Ihnen folgende internationale Keynote Lextures anbieten zu können:
Keynote Lecture 1 (Dienstag, 13:15 – 13:55 Uhr, Gebäude 3, 2. OG, Aula)
"Making Healthcare Processes Work: Clinical-guidelines based Decision-Support Systems"
Mor Peleg, Haifa (Israel)
Moderation: Prof. Dr. Richard Lenz (Erlangen)
Healthcare organizations are facing the challenge of delivering high-quality affordable services to their patients. To help support this challenge, medical Informatics research offers formalisms for developing clinical guideline-based decision-support systems (DSSs). On the other hand, business process management (BPM) offers IT support for healthcare processes using workflow technology. By integrating aspects from these two approaches, there is hope for achieving better healthcare process support.
I will start by reviewing trends in Medical Informatics research on clinical-guideline based DSSs that utilize BPM. Several groups who have been developing clinical guideline formalisms have seen the value that BPM methods and tools could bring when they are integrated with guideline formalisms. I will present the work that I have done on the GLIF guideline modeling language, highlighting the way in which it uses standards to specify the medical concepts that clinical actions and decision refer to, the patient information model, and the decision criteria that refer to concepts and data, and at the same time, supports flexible processes. I will then review the work that I have done on mapping the GLIF and EON clinical guideline-modeling formalisms into a workflow model. Using methods and tools developed by the BPM community, I verified that clinical guidelines encoded in GLIF and EON encoded guideline satisfy soundness and liveness properties. People from the medical informatics community have often argued that the BPM formalisms are not appropriate for supporting healthcare processes because they do not offer enough flexibility. Together with the group of van der Aalst, we compared various guideline formalisms in terms of their support of flexible workflow patterns and contrasted the guideline modeling representations with declarative representations in terms of flexibility. Others have extended this work by using formal methods based on Petri Net semantics to prove satisfaction of workflow patterns by the PROforma guideline formalism.
I will then continue to review trends in BPM research on supporting healthcare processes. These works address healthcare processes, including action management more than decision-support. They include healthcare process design for flexibility, verification and testing of healthcare process models (these two topics overlap with issues reviewed in the first half of the talk), utilizing clinical semantics for IT support, and process mining & learning. I will focus on the topic of process learning and present work that my group has done on mining healthcare process instance data to learn what the best path should be in order to achieve desired outcomes for patients with different contextual characteristics.
Many of the works reviewed in my talk were presented in PROhealth workshops.
Keynote Lecture 2 (Dienstag, 16:00 – 16:50 Uhr, Gebäude 3, 2. OG, Aula)
"Nationale Mortalitätsregister"
Ulrich Mueller (Institut für Medizinische Soziologie und Sozialmedizin, Philipps-Universität Marburg)
The German Council for Social and Economic Data (RatSWD) has installed a working group for the preparation of a National Death Index / National Mortality Database. A National Death Index covers all deaths in a country registering vital data, basic biographical information and a detailed documentation of the cause(s) of death for each case. Many other countries do have such National Death Indices, some already for decades. A National Death Index is an indispensible infrastructure for social, public health and medical research. Registration of vital events plus cause-of-death documentation is the oldest and most extensive public health surveillance system. International compatibility of such databases opens many options for morbidity and mortality risk identification, but requires more common features than proper use of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD).
General data quality and procedural standards recommendations should at least cover these areas: (1) Speed (In the US National Death Index data records are available only 18-24 months later), (2) Completeness (in smaller European countries, a substantial proportion of the population spends some years abroad, thus, there should be an exchange of mortality data between countries of birth); (3) Record linkage capacity; (4) Multi-causality features in the cause-of-death documentation;(5) Convertibility between coding systems; (5) Efficient, Information preserving privacy protection features; (6) Data quality documentation; (7) High bioethics standards.
Specific recommendations will have to consider the federal system of government in Germany with three layers of government (federal, state, municipal) both in legislation and administration, with universal, but very decentralized registration of every birth and death and all residents and moves, and a completely separated processing of death certificates.
The recommendations of the working group will be presented and discussed by a small panel of experts, comprising Karl-Heinz Jöckel (Essen), Sabine Luttmann (Bremen), Ulrich Mueller (Marburg), Mechthild Vennemann (Münster).

Keynote Lecture 3 (Mittwoch, 13:15 – 13:55 Uhr, Gebäude 3, 2. OG, Aula)
"EMR Systems and Secondary Use for the Retrieval of Similar Case Reports"
Katsuhiko Takabayashi, Chiba University (Japan)
Moderation: Prof. Dr. Alfred Winter (Leipzig)
Electronic medical record (EMR) systems have been implemented in more than 39 percent of major Japanese hospitals, and a large number of discharge summaries are now stored electronically. By utilizing these discharge summaries, we performed morphological analysis and text mining with TF*IDF method in three hospitals and compared the vectors of the same DPC (Diagnosis and Procedure Complex; Japanese version of DRG) code between the hospitals. Even though there are different styles of discharge summaries in these hospitals, we obtained proper extracts from the summaries of the same DPC codes, or in other words, the computer could make a proper diagnosis of the DPC codes out of more than 80 percent of the cases in every hospital. Furthermore, the integrated summary data of these hospitals also showed favorable results, suggesting that a huge combined database of many hospitals can be utilized for text mining. This fact may also allow us to retrieve the similar complicated or unsolved cases or reclassify the disease entity by text mining. Especially, to retrieve similar case reports is one of the important activities for clinicians when they encounter an unknown case to make a diagnosis or to treat patients. The Japanese Society of Internal Medicine (JSIM) holds more than 30 clinical meetings yearly in seven districts throughout Japan in which a lot of rare case reports have been presented. We have built a database of more than 15,000 case reports from these meetings as well as extractions of case reports from MEDLINE and conducted morphological analysis and text mining. Now we provide to Japanese physicians to search for similar cases through the internet by using TF*IDF method from the JSIM homepage. They can search for similar cases not only by keywords, but from the patients abstracts. We will apply this system for the database in other Japanese medical associations for the medical services. In addition to that we are planning to integrate the discharge summaries of 42 National University Hospitals which have more than one million discharge summaries per year and start the same kind of retrieval service which we hope will contribute to medical progress.

The Fabulous Five!
A Family Finding Story
Download Printable Version (PDF - 405 KB)
Five siblings—three girls and two boys—came into care due to their mother's drug abuse. After they had been in care for 2 years, the Foster & Adoptive Care Coalition's Extreme Recruitment® program received their case. At that time, the five siblings were living in three different foster homes. The goal of the recruiter, Edna, was to find them a home together. When Edna received the case file, only eight family members were known to the case management team. One father of the siblings was incarcerated, and another had voluntarily terminated his parental rights. Edna quickly realized that if she wanted to keep the siblings together, she should focus her efforts on the maternal side of their family. Edna searched the case file, court records, and social media for as many relatives as possible. She interviewed family members as she identified them. The children's maternal grandfather had a criminal history so Edna knew that the siblings could not be placed with him, but she still took the time to meet with him and encouraged him to participate in the family-finding process. The grandfather was more than happy to help. He recommended his sister as a placement option, but, unfortunately, her health concerns prevented her from being a good fit. Edna also spoke with the siblings' maternal grandmother. Their grandmother struggled with addiction for much of her life and knew she couldn't take the children, but it meant a lot to her to be able to participate in finding a family member who could help. She suggested that Edna contact her other granddaughters, cousins Patricia and Azella.
When Edna contacted Patricia and Azella, each woman knew she had to help. Azella lives in Kentucky, whereas the children were in Missouri, but was still determined to open her home to the siblings. So Edna and Missouri's Children's Division worked diligently to complete the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children, which was approved in a matter of months. Azella was able to adopt three of the siblings. Her cousin, Patricia, who lives in St. Louis, adopted the other two siblings. The five siblings are in constant contact with each other and see each other frequently. The entire family is grateful that the team worked with them to keep the siblings connected!

EDWIN VALENCIA,PLAINTIFF,v.JOHN DOE NO. 1, ET AL.,DEFENDANTS.
FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS RECOMMENDING DISMISSING ACTION FOR FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THE COURT'S ORDER REGARDING CONSENT OR REQUEST FOR REASSIGNMENT (Doc. 5) OBJECTIONS DUE IN 15 DAYS
I. Procedural History
Plaintiff Edwin Valencia ("Plaintiff") is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Doc. 1. On January 5, 2012, the Court issued an Order Re Consent or Request for Reassignment, requiring Plaintiff to complete and return the form within thirty (30) days, indicating either consent to the jurisdiction of the U.S. Magistrate Judge, or requesting that the case be reassigned to a U.S. District Judge. Doc. 3. Again on June 1, 2012, the Court issued an Order Re Consent or Request for Reassignment, requiring Plaintiff to complete and return the form within thirty (30) days. Doc. 5. The thirty (30)-day period has expired, and petitioner has not returned the form, or otherwise responded to the court's order.
II. Failure to Comply with Court Order
Local Rule 110 provides that "failure of counsel or of a party to comply with these Local Rules or with any order of the Court may be grounds for the imposition by the Court of any and all sanctions . . . within the inherent power of the Court." District courts have the inherent power to control their dockets and "in the exercise of that power, they may impose sanctions including, where appropriate . . . dismissal of a case." Thompson v. Housing Auth., 782 F.2d 829, 831 (9th Cir. 1986). A court may dismiss an action, with prejudice, based on a party's failure to prosecute an action, failure to obey a court order, or failure to comply with local rules. See, e.g. Ghazali v. Moran, 46 F.3d 52, 53-54 (9th Cir. 1995) (dismissal for noncompliance with local rule); Ferdik v. Bonzelet, 963 F.2d 1258, 1260-61 (9th Cir. 1992) (dismissal for failure to comply with an order requiring amendment of complaint); Carey v. King, 856 F.2d 1439, 1440-41 (9th Cir. 1988) (dismissal for failure to comply with local rule requiring pro se plaintiffs to keep court apprised of address); Malone v. U.S. Postal Service, 833 F.2d 128, 130 (9th Cir. 1987) (dismissal for failure to comply with court order); Henderson v. Duncan, 779 F.2d 1421, 1424 (9th Cir. 1986) (dismissal for failure to lack of prosecution and failure to comply with local rules).
In determining whether to dismiss this action for failure to comply with the directives set forth in its order, "the Court must weigh the following factors: (1) the public's interest in expeditious resolution of litigation; (2) the court's need to manage its docket; (3) the risk of prejudice to defendants/respondents; (4) the availability of less drastic alternatives; and (5) the public policy favoring disposition of cases on their merits." Pagtalunan v. Galaza, 291 F.3d 639, 642 (9th Cir. 2002) (citing Ferdik v. Bonzelet, 963 F.2d 1258, 1260-61 (9th Cir. 1992)).
'The public's interest in expeditious resolution of litigation always favors dismissal.' Pagtalunan v. Galaza, 291 F.3d 639, 642 (quoting Yourish v. California Amplifier, 191 F.3d 983, 990 (9th Cir. 1999)). Plaintiff is obligated to comply with the Local Rules and was informed via court order regarding the requirement to consent or request for reassignment. Doc. 3; Doc. 5. The Court cannot effectively manage its docket if a party ceases to obey the orders of the court and litigate the case. Thus, both the first and second factors weigh in favor of dismissal.
Turning to the risk of prejudice, "pendency of a lawsuit is not sufficiently prejudicial in and of itself to warrant dismissal." Id. (citing Yourish at 991). However, "delay inherently increases the risk that witnesses' memories will fade and evidence will become stale," id., and it is Plaintiff's failure to comply with the Local Rules and the Court's order that is causing delay. Therefore, the third factor weight in favor of dismissal.
As for the availability of lesser sanctions, at this stage in the proceedings there is little available to the Court which would constitute a satisfactory lesser sanction while protecting the Court from further unnecessary expenditure of its scare resources and the statutory requirement that Plaintiff pays the filing fee to proceed with the complaint. Finally, because public policy favors disposition on the merits, this factor usually weighs against dismissal. Id. at 643. However, "this factor lends little support to a party whose responsibility it is to move a case toward disposition on the merits but whose conduct impedes progress in that direction," In re Phenylpropanolamine (PPA) Products Liability Litigation, 460 F.3d 1217, 1228 (9th Cir. 2006) (internal quotations and citations omitted), as is the case here.
In summary, Plaintiff has failed to comply with the Court order to complete and return the form "Re Consent or Request for Reassignment." Thirty days has passed since the Court ordered Plaintiff to respond and Plaintiff has not responded, despite being notified of the requirement via the Court's order specifically directing him to respond. Doc. 3; Doc. 5.
III. Conclusion and Recommendation
Since Plaintiff has failed to respond to the Court's orders filed on January 5, 2012, and June 1, 2012, the Court HEREBY RECOMMENDS: that Plaintiff's action be DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE for failure to obey court orders.
These Findings and Recommendations will be submitted to the United States District Judge assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of Title 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within fifteen (15) days after being served with these Findings and Recommendations, parties may file written objections with the court. The document should be captioned "Objections to Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendations." Parties are advised that failure to file objections within the specified time may waive the right to appeal the District Court's order. Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir.1991).

text: If I had to describe Venexiana's new collection with just three words, I'd pick sparkle, glitter and rock 'n' roll. The entire collection is a fusion of rock 'n' roll and 1930s Hollywood glam. Standout pieces included metallic, almost futuristic gowns. The high points of the collection's modern edgy glamor are slim silhouettes with accents on bias cutting and exquisite fabrics. Here are my favorite shots:

I am saddened by the idea that you have to leave. And the time is now. There are so many things I wish to do for you, with you. But the topmost wish I have in mind is that I wish you could stay longer. And by longer I mean forever. You're 51-day vacation here in the Philippines seems not enough. Obviously, it isn't enough. And I am even more grateful for having spent the twenty-six days with me. Everyday we dine together, we travel, we play any sort of stuff, we party, we visit friends and relatives. Everyday, the testimony of our love has grown much deeper, much more meaningful. Thanks to you. You are one true man I wish to spend my life for the rest of time. You are my one true love. My man.
I know I shouldn't be saying goodbye because you will be coming back soon.. after 270 days. I know the counting will start all over again. Another 270 days or in the case last year, it was 280 days. But it's just fine. I have fully understood our situation and I will support you in all your endeavors the same way you support me. I will wait for you and please take care. I love you, Hun.

The Importance of Your Statement of Purpose for Business Management
If you are hoping to get into any business management program you will know by now that places are very limited and competition is very high. So if you are going to win a place your personal application really does have to make you stand out from the other applicants. Many of the other applicants are going to have grades and qualifications that are going to be very similar to your own so your only way to stand out is through your business management personal statement or statement of purpose. This needs to be written in a way that will get you noticed and must be completely free of any errors in your writing if you want to have a successful application. The following section will provide you with some easy to follow tips to help you craft that attention grabbing SoP for business management.
Stuck halfway with your SoP? Use help of professional writing service to make it perfect.
Easy Guide to Writing Your Business Management Application SoP
If you have looked at any sample statement of purpose for business management online you will already know that the expected standard of writing is very high indeed. Do not expect that you will be able to write your statement of purpose in one sitting and get it as you want it. You need to sit down and make copious notes as to what you feel the committee will be wanting to hear about before you start writing and you will have to revise and rewrite your statement several times before you will finally end up with something that you will be happy with. The following guidelines will help you with your writing.
Read more about business management.
What Should You Cover in Your SoP for Your Management Application?
- Show why it is that you have an interest in business management.
- Show what steps you have already taken to pursue your interests; both educationally and in your everyday life.
- Demonstrate using clear examples that you have the skills expected for their program.
- Show where you expect your studies to take you and what you see your career looking like in the future.
- Research the program and show clear reasons why you want to attend their specific program.
How Your SoP Should Be Written:
- Always open with a hook; like a newspaper article your opening line has to generate interest and make the reader want to read on. Typically use a relevant anecdote but avoid quotations as they want to hear about you in your own words. Check out some sample statement of purpoese for business management to have an idea of how it supposed to look.
- Your writing needs to flow much like a story so that you pull the reader along through what you have written and maintain their interest throughout. It should not read like a list of facts about you.
- Avoid the use of clichés such as "Ever since I was young." They want to hear your own words not a run of tired phrases that are repeated across so many statements.
- Never use slang or acronyms. Also do not try to make yourself seem more intelligent by using words that no one would ever use from your thesaurus.
- Ensure that what you write is relevant and written in a concise manner.
- Avoid all forms of humor as it is just not appropriate.
- Remain personal as this is about you. Do not ever plagiarize what anyone else has written.
- Ensure that you very carefully proofread what you have written to eliminate any errors. If possible ask friends and family to read and critique your statment of purpose business management.
You might also want to read about sop management writing process.
We Can Write Your SoP
Your statement of purpose business management is not something that can be written by just anyone. Our service offers writing through postgraduate degree holders who have many years of experience in writing SoPs for business management. All of our statements are carefully proofread and also checked for plagiarism prior to delivery to you on time.

If minimal, all-black OOTDs are your thing, we've partnered with Old Navy to show you how to mix it up while still keeping it totally chic.
We'll be the first to admit that black on black (on black) is our favorite foolproof combo — it's quick and easy, chic, and totally effortless. But every once in awhile, it's nice to change it up and throw on some color — even if it's just a neutral. With Spring fast approaching, now is the perfect time to give your wardrobe a little refresher. Incorporating cool chambray, white denim, and updated tees, these two alternative looks will take you straight from coffee to cocktails.

May you be among those who have happy returns. The Bitcoin word is often said wrong, often by prejudiced mind, actions often invite anger, the whole body is often done by insult. On behalf of day traders, I apoligizze. Thousands of dollars in bitcoins utter emotional and physical happiness, if ever these eyes are staring at one, it takes your right hand, this product never has another thought. As a servant of Chris Dunn who knows a lot about futures, I want to master bitcoin investing, even though it is not face to face, hopefully this virtual space already represents everything.

Step number one: Stop eating crap
Step number two: Take a break from the boozin' Although I am a pleasure to be around when I'm on the sauce...I've begun to turn off of it. I'm at a juncture where I would normally jump headfirst into a vat of liquid comfort - use it as a distraction from things I'd rather not think about, but I don't feel that urge right now, so I think it's a good time to give the ol' liver a rest. Better for the pocketbook too, since I'm about to be a brokeass student.
Step number three: Work it out
(Can we just pause and appreciate that sweet photoshop work? Thanks.) Time to start taking advantage of the gym membership I haven't used in over 2 months, non? Oui. Sweat it all out, yo. I want my pipes back, so I can make lame "2 tickets to the gun show" jokes again. Those were the days...
Meanwhile...in other news...
My favourite client/second mom is the best woman on the planet. She came in this morning and sensed that I was not in a good way, so we had a nice talk, she said that I looked pretty when I was teary eyed (awe) and asked if she could grab me something to eat. I told her I didn't feel much like eating and was on a strict coffee and cigarettes diet at the moment, so she said she'd bring me a coffee later on. An hour and a half later she walks in with a small coffee-maker, a HUGE tub of coffee, a box of filters, a bag of sugar, some coffee-mate (because we don't have a fridge for milk), and a box of arrowroot cookies (which she proclaimed to be low-cal)! What a lady. I adore her.
Now I am wired (WIRED) on my third cup of coffee because all I've eaten today is about 8 arrowroots. WOOOOOOOOT! mmmcoffeecoffeecoffeeeee.

To all of you who read his article and commented, here is a response from "Mr Z, Jr.", my stepson who wrote the blog post below this one on Germany and how immigrants are, quite literally, destroying it with impunity. I think it's so important because it's probably America's future; political correctness from leftwingers will only be realized for what it is, even by the lefties, when we've come to the point we can't do repairs. I so wish more and more people could read what he'd written because we don't hear the truth from our media.
Please, nobody ever blame me for detesting the Left. Sorry, I don't much like to detest anything, but I do, this bunch:
From Mr. Z, Jr.:
Thanks everyone for appreciating my article. This whole thing is one of the very movements that happen in Europe first and then come to America. Personally I don't see any chance for things to turn better again. There are too many demanding foreigners in the EU, it's beyond the point of no return already, at least without civil war. Germans won't fight, 60 plus years of indoctrination is making its way. As long as the flat TV is running and there is some food on the table, everyone will mind his own business. The civil war will probably be started by the invaders: there will be a time where even Germany won't have money anymore to feed these occupants. No money, no food, no help through the state means trouble. I understand why some Germans work as little as possible just to pay their bills. At the end of the month the state will have taken away about 80 percent of the income (taxes in all variations) to spread it out around the world but not for its own native people. Infrastructure is rotting away though the state is getting taxes in record amounts.
Another reason why this socialism thing is working so well is the reduction of the education quality (sarcasm). The lesser the people know the better they can be manipulated. There has been already a big discrepancy between my dad's school education and mine, both graduating from school with "Abitur" ***. Nowadays there are many tutoring classes for new students at the university to make them fit enough to attend. There are many teachers leaving university to start their profession who can't write a complete sentence without mistakes. Germany used to be the land of the thinkers – not anymore. Lots of well educated people leave the country and the goat herders move in as replacement. That's a very good deal. (sarcasm)
Gute Nacht, Deutschland, der letzte macht das Licht aus.
Which I believe means "Goodnight, Germany, last one out, turn out the light." So sad.
***By the way, I'd just emailed Baysider the other night that I've always thought my husband's German schooling was probably the very last REALLY GOOD schooling anybody got in any country's public schools…all the way through. Interesting that Mr. Z, Jr. mentioned this; we had not discussed it before I read this and he doesn't know I'm making a whole blog from his comment.
I just saw THIS ARTICLE that says German immigration by 'asylum seekers' has gone up 45% since the year before…..because of the problems in Syria, Lebanon, etc. I'm thinking it would be better for another muslim country to take them in. Oh, wait…all muslim countries are a MESS. How 'odd' (sarc.)

Outfit Of The Day: Gina's Pleated Dress
Dress: Forever21 (similar style here)
Shoes: Zara (here)
Bag and Cuff: TJMAXX
Gina's look was so cute and so on trend right now, it had to be be shared! I love her color blocked strappy heels from Zara! She put a black top under the dress as not to show too much and she swept all her curls over to one side. She is also the mother of a toddler proving it takes little to look great!
If you have an outfit you would like to share on the blog email us pictures of your outfit and the places you bought it! 🙂
Hair Care Products and Routine
Everybody has there own special potion…
To make their hair more manageable, shine from here to there, and to maximize volume. Here is what I happen to be loving (and using) right now…
- Shampoo and Condition with color safe shampoo. I really do love this Pantene Color Preserve, the conditioner leaves my hair very manageable and it comes at a great price!
- Heat Protector. ALWAYS use any kind of heat product if you are going to blow-dry, curl, or straighten! It a must. I Like this Got2B Guardian Angel one because its a spray so I feel like it doesn't weigh my hair down and it has a gloss finish.
- Frizz Cream. I use it if i decide I don't want to take heat to my hair and let it dry naturally without looking like lion in a couple hours or if i want a smoother style like soft looking curls or straight hair. This LivingProof one is great, I only need a small amount for my long locks!
- Volume Spray. Every girl wants big hair these days and not only the ones who live in texas! 😉 I spray a lifting spray like the Redken one right at the roots on the crown of my head.
- Finishing Spray. Always finish with a great flexable hold hairspray that holds your style all day long like thes Loreal Elnett one.
- Deep Conditioner. I didn't put a picture but I also like to mention I use a deep conditioner once a week(no more than 2/3 times though!) to keep my hair strong. And I switch up the brands I use often.

What to wear: Sheer blouses
A Good friend once asked me..
"Hey Rita, I really want to buy a sheer blouse but I have no idea how to style it? How would you where it?" Well of course my mind went WILD with ideas because 1: I LOVE sheer blouses and 2: There is really an infinite way to wear them. So i put on my thinking cap and came up with some ideas for her on how to wear them. So here is what I came up with.
For this look you can really do anything your little heart desires. One I chose to go with a cute colored lace bandeau and flow over jean shorts. The other I thought would be cute over a white bandeau tucked into a cute skirt like this tangerine one (which is the color of the season).
Sleeveless top, $14
FAIR true striped skirt,$77
Forever 21, $5.50
H&M flat shoes, $13
Forever 21 chain necklace, $4.80
This outfit is so simple and yet so fun and definitely something I've worn before! I would describe this as all black everything with a pop of color. Black bandeau under the blouse, your cutest black skinny jeans, and an awesome cocktail ring! Take your favorite colored heels and you have an effortless look.
Wallis twill jeans, $52
ALDO high heel sandals, $80
House of Harlow 1960 black cocktail ring, $80
Forever 21 ring, $4.80
Charlotte Russe – Double Triangle Chevron Ring, $6
This outfit is by far my favorite! This time under the sheer shirt i decided to go with a nude bra because i really want the shirt to stand out on it's own without any background interference. It's a classic look because of the high waisted skirt and button down but also trendy with the collar and peplum accents.
everyone love$ WAKA
So Mildred and i had the pleasure of seeing Waka Flocka Flame at Jimmy Kimmels outdoor concert series yesterday, and lets just say it was a crazy good time. If you live in the southern California area Jimmy Kimmels outdoor concerts are a great way to spend your day. They are free and sometimes you get to catch artists that you really love. In this case we got to see Waka and he DID NOT disappoint. Now we got there at around 5:30 to wait in line and didnt enter till around 6:45. We then had to wait for Jimmy to go through all his guests before the musical guest ( slightly boring since there were no tv screens for us to watch the show while we waited)
He performed about 5 songs and went far beyond other artists by actually interacting with the crowd by joining his fans in the pit. All songs were performed with high energy and he even gave autographs/took pictures with fans during and after the show. All in all i give Waka an A+, besides me almost getting swallowed whole by the mosh pit, i had a great time.I highly recommend you catch an outdoor concert before the summer ends.
Watch Waka from mine and Mildreds point of view…..
…..and in tv land
Under 50$: Favorite Dresses

Schoolboy Q baby…
West coast fans where you at? Schoolboy Q, another one of my favorite rappers out right now. His single "hands on the wheel" off his mix tape "Habbits & Contradictions" featuring the one and only ASAP ROCKY is now making its way to the radio. This west coast rapper has already done collaborations with some of the top artist out their right now. He has worked with ASAP, Kendrick, AB Soul, Jay Rock and Tyga! His recent independent album hit #100 in the US Billboards top 200 last year 2011 while his present album hit #111 this year in the same category. If you havent heard him yet IM SHOCKED! So what are you waiting for? Check him out and keep a look out..

NBA Goes
Big Stars Come Out for L.A.Hoops
Oh Lordy, here we go again.
If the Lakers or the Knicks are in the NBA finals, us poor saps in the viewing audience are subjected to endless shots of celebrities in the crowd. Oh, look! There's Ray Liotta! Hey, it's Cameron Diaz! Oh WOW! Is that Tony Danza?!
I'm so dazzled, and so impressed by their caliber of fans.
When I lived in Indianapolis and followed the Pacers, we, as a city, were shocked and humbled by the presence of so many luminaries. They put our fans to shame--we'd have nobodies like Larry Bird or Peyton Manning sitting in our crowd, and they're just other sports guys. Who cares?
I can only hope the networks continue to show crowd shots so I can see people like Paula Abdul and Spike Lee. And a game isn't complete without a shot of Mr. Nicholson on the sidelines at his courtside seat. I don't want to see the stupid game, are you kidding? Show me the stars and tell me about their show on Fox or their upcoming movie!
Only losers care about the team, the players, and the game. Only a bunch of dumb hicks would want to see the plays and the replays. But then what do we know? We're just Hoosiers!
