I stumbled upon your blog recently and am really excited to try out some of your recipes. Thanks for sharing with us.

I would like to try out this Vanilla Sponge Cupcake recipe however I want to clarify one part about the Swiss Meringue Buttercream. You mention in the recipe to cook the egg white and sugar over 'low heat'; does this mean you literally cook it in a pot over the stove? I can't quite tell in the video, and all the other recipes I've come across use a double boiler.

I marveled at the wonderful recipes and the technical competence of this kitchen goddess guiding me from start to finish, and I though that KT must be a culinary genius.

When I first began being recognized as a photographer I was hesitant to ever let on that I had a previous occupation, even a successful one. As time has gone on however I've come to believe that authenticity and professionalism can coexist in the same sentence just fine.
So with that in mind: I used to be an interior designer. It's what my bachelors degree is in and I owned a busy pretty business for 11 years before switching to photography. The people that knew me then often ask, "why did you give up design? Do you just like photography better?" And the answer I've been giving for years now was that design was 20% design and relationships and 80% paperwork, while photography is 80% photography and relationships and 20% paperwork- so since I love art and relationships it was an easy decision. The thing is, that answer is true, it's 100% true in fact – but it's not the whole answer.
I hit upon the rest of the answer at an engagement shoot a few months back when a soon to be groom asked me why I did photography. I started talking about art and beauty and helping people see how beautifully God made them- it was like a light went on. When I was designing spaces I loved it because a person in a beautiful space is so much happier than a person in a disorganized ugly space; how much more that holds true for photography! A person who feels beautiful in their own skin is so much more confident and happy than someone who wears their skin heavily with the burden of insecurities. We all have insecurities, myself as much as the next one, but the longer I do this the more I find that there is beauty in each of us and as a photographer I get to take that cliché and make it a reality that lifts my clients confidence. What else would I possibly want to do with my life? (Other than raise babies to love God and loves others which I get to do at the same time, lucky me).
I recently went to a conference with a small group of women creatives. As the date for the retreat/conference grew closer all of these women kept talking about how excited they were to dive into relationships with each other and as much as I love me a good snuggling sleep over I just kept thinking "well I have my friends, and I have my people, can we just do business please? I don't need any heart wrenching, gut spilling sessions, I just need some networking and some great ideas on how to do business better." Ha! You will be not surprised to know that I didn't get my way.
I went into this retreat with only one or two people that I actually connected with or felt any resemblance to in the group and I am emerged from it with my jaw on the floor over how strong, courageous, broken, and beautiful all eight of those women are. Over three days we learned from each other, got some great ideas on business practices, and found beauty in each other's brokenness. What I would have thought was a group of women who could not be more dissimilar ended up being a gathering of people whose hearts were all so very alike that it was easy to see the grace in each other and to take what had been perceived as annoying habits and suddenly call them adorable quirks.
You see those freckles above? She's a busy, loving, tired mom; and a kind and funny friend; and I bet her husband counts those freckles with love. See that smudge of a tattoo below? It reminds her of the love between her and her mother, and even though it's not quite how she wanted it, it's perfect in who it says she is- a daughter that finds comfort and safely and peace in her family...
Oh what an incredible reminder of the joy I find in my job and in the ability to reveal to people their own loveliness and how they are perceived by the world around them. Hearts and souls are all so very similar; weighed down, dented, and sometimes a bit ripped: but so useful and beautiful and valuable- a five dollar bill found in the gutter will buy you the same amount of tacos as one fresh off the press- in fact it's way less obnoxious because it won't stick to the other bills in your pocket.
How incredibly grateful I am to have the opportunity to make an occupation out of showing people their intrinsic worth. And these photos? Well we did get around to doing some business and these head shots are proof that these lovely ladies are as gorgeous on the outside as they are on the inside.
Thanks to the amazing friends I found in these women creatives: Janae Hoffman (another interior designer and photographer- except she still does ID), Traci Patterson of Traci True Photography, Janelle Baty (MUA), Katherine Beth Evans of Katherine Beth Photography, Tracy Van Dam of Tracy VanDam Fotografie, Wendy of Chris and Wendy Weddings, and Larissa Lillis Annen of Daisy Portraits.

So we are on day two of no carrots, and lo and behold, no nasty hiccup episodes (as to the 4-5 episodes that were occurring daily when we were giving her the carrots) and diapers have resumed their normal state (though they weren't super abnormal this time). Because of this, my husband and I are abandoning our orange friends (or anti-friend in this case). I still have a tiny shred of uncertainty that maybe she is just still adjusting to the carrots but I think it is simply because I really really REALLY wanted to break our food fail cycle and start passing something. :( But again, this is the second time we have tried carrots (Gerber first time, homemade was this time) and she was exhibiting virtually the same symptoms that she did leading up to her severe reactions to sweet potatoes and avocados. And 7 days of worsening symptoms is enough for me! Our goal is to have no more ER visits, at least until we are back in the states!!!!! B is taking a break from anything new until Sunday or Monday, when we are going to start zucchini. Hopefully, zucchini will be kinder. The lime colored zucchini cubes in my freezer really look so pretty. . . . I hope they are nice to eat as much as they are nice to look at!!!
And on the upside, we have been exploring Japan some more, since my parents have been here on a visit. We re-visited the Great Buddha (Daibutsu), which I hadn't visited since late in my pregnancy, and checked out some more sites in Kamakura. B discovered that gravel makes a lovely sound when you scuff your feet in it, so that was the most impressive part of her day! Enjoy the pictures and wish us zucchini luck!

Lindsey, one of my kindred spirits, made this sweet little sentiment. I am going to blow it up and put it in our house.
Married life is going "good, it's rreally good" (In Nacho accent). We haven't slowed one bit since the marriage but after this week things should calm a little...??? Maybe...??? We won't have school to worry about at least. Then we get a week away for our real honeymoon in Hawaii.
We've been acting like we are on a honeymoon the whole time though, and playing house is the best. I love cooking for Spencer. The other night I made some Grilled Steak with Onion-Blue Cheese Sauce. It was muy sabroso! I want some more right now. Here is the link to the recipe.
I added some goat cheese in there just because I love Goat Cheese. I think it's my favorite food. That's why I want some goats when we grow up.
I won't put pictures up until I get them back from our Photographer Megan Holdsworth. I don't want to spoil anything. But you can go look at our Bridal Shoot at this link.
Bye Bye

(Bloomberg) One-third of U.S. employers plan to move their workers health care coverage to a private exchange in the next few years, a survey found, following the lead of companies like Walgreen Co. seeking to reduce costs.
While 95% of employers said they would continue to offer health care in the next three to five years, 33% may use a private exchange to provide the benefit up from 5% currently, according to a survey released today by a unit of Aon Plc, a London-based insurance broker.
Traditionally, most large employers are self-insured, meaning they take on the financial risk of their employees health costs. Under a private exchange, workers are given a subsidy to pick from a limited number of health plans and the insurer takes on the risk.
Employers are telling us they are losing confidence in their traditional approaches, like vendor changes or employee cost-sharing, which only deliver incremental improvement, Jim Winkler, Aons chief innovation officer for health benefits, said in a telephone interview. Employers are saying, I need to do something different.
Health spending in the U.S. is expected to increase more than 6% this year and 6.2% annually from 2015-2022 as the Affordable Care Act takes full effect and millions of Americans gain insurance, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
Walgreen, Sears
Walgreen announced a shift last September to a private exchange run by Aon that serves 18 companies, including Sears Holding Corp. and Darden Restaurants Inc., and 600,000 employees. More than 20 insurers are participating in Aons exchange this year, Maurissa Kanter, a spokeswoman, said in an e-mail. Most employers have access to five carriers, which each have five plans, giving their workers 25 options to pick from.
We expect it to grow pretty significantly in the next few years, Winkler said. We have a lot of interest in it.
Employers may also be responding to workers who want more choice, said Paul Fronstin, director of health research at the Employee Benefit Research Institute.
Workers looking at the new public insurance marketplaces created under the health overhaul known as Obamacare may be asking their employers, Why cant we have more choice? Fronstin said by telephone. Previously, employers never really had that market place where employees could pick.
Ending coverage
Aon surveyed more than 1,230 U.S. employers with more than 10 million workers. They found that 5% of the companies surveyed may drop employee health-care coverage in the next three to five years, an increase from 1% now.
Under Obamacare, companies that dont offer coverage for their employees will be fined $2,000 per employee. Employers spend $6,000 per employee on average, so dropping coverage may seem like a good deal, but ultimately this is not a realistic option because of potential backlash from employees, said Fronstin.
Historically, employers have offered health benefits voluntarily to be competitive in the labor market, he said. With unemployment being much lower than it was four years ago, employers are more hesitant to put exiting on the table.
Still, some companies are ending coverage for part-time employees. The law doesnt require employers to provide health plans to part-time workers. About 38% of the companies surveyed by Aon said they would offer no benefits to part-time workers within the next three to five years.
Retiree benefits are also being reworked. International Business Machines Corp. said last year that it would send 110,000 retirees to Towers Watsons Extend Health, the largest private Medicare exchange.
The Aon survey found that two-thirds of employers who wanted to make changes in retiree benefits were looking to follow IBMs lead.
Only 25% of large employers offer subsidized retiree health benefits, Aon said, down from about 50% in 2004.

Previously at the ICA - Films
2 Oct 2012
A rare opportunity to see Pedro Costa's hypnotic and fascinating portrait of French actress and singer Jeanne Balibar, which is also a meditation on the creative process. Ne Change Rien stands as a companion film to Costa's equally process-oriented portrait of Jean-Marie Straub and Daniele Huillet, Where Does Your Hidden Smile Lie.
"Both a startling and lucid lesson in filming musical performance and a cinephilic marvel... The sensual, velvety, high-contrast black-and-white images capture the exertions and exultations of music-making.... Costa s film was born under the virtual gaze of three artistic godfathers with original approaches to filming musical performances Godard, Chris Marker, and Jean-Marie Straub and, in the course of this bracing, fascinating feature, he conjures them all." --Richard Brody, The New Yorker
This film will be presented on 35mm. Presented in collaboration with Second Run.
Dir. Pedro Costa, Portugal 2009, 100 mins.

Every day, nearly 25 million students ride a big yellow bus to school. These iconic vehicles are so entrenched in American school culture that their likeness is the predominant symbol for education.
There's good reason for this. Since the yellow school bus came on the scene decades ago, almost nothing has changed about the vehicles or how school systems use them to transport students.
But do school transportation systems still meet the needs of current students, families, and schools? In "Miles to Go: Bringing School Transportation into the 21st Century," we analyze school transportation on a national scale through three lenses:
The image emerging from our work is grim. School districts struggle to provide efficient service in the face of escalating costs and increasingly complex education systems where more and more students attend schools outside their neighborhoods. Stagnant state funding streams force districts either to sacrifice service quality and forego system upgrades or divert funds from other purposes. Federal and state regulations concerning student safety and special student populations' educational rights are at odds with strategies to improve efficiency. All those competing priorities must be carefully balanced.
Factors such as a shortage of qualified bus drivers and fuel market volatility further complicate these matters. Also, districts have largely failed to adopt even basic technologies to improve data collection as well as operational and cost-efficiency, much less major overhauls, such as replacing diesel with alternative fuels.
To improve current school transportation systems, we recommend three types of innovations:
Beyond considering the current district-dominated approach to student transportation, we should also think about whether schools need to run transportation systems at all, particularly in communities with robust regional transportation planning infrastructure.

Takumi Atanasi ;; 3-2 ;; Shinigami ;; Male
Takumi turned to the voice as it asked him to select the next test of his alpha protocol; there were only two left to choose from; Arthur or Izuna. Going over the details of their powers, he decided to go with Izuna's and placed his hand on the holographic hand scanner; causing the energy of Izuna's mod soul powers to flow from this synthetic interface into his very being, making his irises once again glow a dark blue along with the mark at the base of his neck. He felt his mind expand as he gained Izuna's esper powers, although what effect it would have on Izuna himself would be something to be desired. The room then generated another wave of hollows and menos grande for Takumi to fight.
He walked into the center of the room, the holo hollows were drooling, looking as ugly as their real life versions. Takumi looked around, having the feeling of time and space spinning around him, a experience he would label from a human expression when experiencing drugs as being "high" or lucid. As the holo hollows came to engage Takumi, Takumi slammed his left palm into the ground with enough force to cause a loud boom that resonated through the room before the spiritualized steel plated floor started to tremble before, with his newly found esper powers, he tore the steel plating off the floor with his mind and formed it into a dome around him to protect him. Having the holo hollow banging on the makeshift barrier; Takumi decided to take the fight to them and collapsed the barrier, making sure to time it when they next attacked the barrier, they would fall down and Takumi would leap out and would focus the energy from his mind and condensing it around his fist before crashing it into the nearest hollow's face; its mask shattering before the mind shell Takumi had put around his fist caused the hollow's body to get pushed back against the wall by the invisible force of Takumi's mind, enhanced by the artificial powers of his alpha protocol and to Izuna's own power, that he was having a interesting experience of learning to use.
He released more of his spiritual pressure, raising his arms before raising large amounts of matter into the air of steel and earth. Then, he used his hands to direct the hollows into one area before clapping his hands and then, all the floating matter slammed into the hollows, compressing them into a ball of steel and dirt.
He let the ball of holographic flesh, steel and falling dirt fall to the ground, landing with a thud before returning to the display, where only Arthur's power was left in the test. Apparently, a holo menos was still alive, so Takumi selected Arthur and placed his hand on the scanner, giving up Izuna's esper powers for Arthur's reishi manipulation and construction ability; feeling the familiar surge of power; he formed the only thing the ability allowed for so far; a sword, made from condensed reishi, although with Arthur, there was stability in the steel frame that formed the reishi of the sword, but Takumi had the knowledge to control the reishi enough to form the sword without the stability as well as the kite shield.
He walked calmly over to the menos, which roared and fired a cero at Takumi, who leapt to the side, using the shield to displace the energy of the cero to reduce the overall impact it had to Takumi before Takumi slashed through the menos's mask, setting off the purification of the menos before returning to the door to the danger room, the alpha powers he had were leaving him, his eyes and mark returning to normal. Although when he was within leaving the room, Takumi felt something wrong; his body felt tired and he appeared that, due to using so many mod soul powers within a short space of time, Takumi had reached his limit.
"Alpha protocol test...completed, all enemies...eliminated..." Takumi explained to the computer before he fell to his knees and collapsed on the floor, having reached his limit.

There's no telling how many people storm chasers have killed – or will kill in the future – as a result of their videos of dangerous or reckless behavior.
So declared Chuck Doswell, one of the first storm chasers, during a national convention Saturday in Denver.
Doswell said storm chasers have inspired those who have little or no idea of what they're doing to grab a camera and try to photograph dangerous storms.
"Why would that happen? Why would people be so willing to risk their lives to obtain tornado video?" Doswell asked more than 400 people gathered for ChaserCon 2014. "We, all of us, bear some responsibility for that."
In the wake of the El Reno tornado, which killed four chasers and four others in Oklahoma on May 31, Doswell said it's a good time for storm chasers to take a hard look in the mirror.
"All of us, myself included, have done irresponsible things," said Doswell, who began storm chasing in the early 1970s. "There are no saints. I make no claim to be one."
The El Reno tornado killed veteran chasers Tim Samaras – who held the first ChaserCon in the basement of his house 16 years ago – his son Paul and chase partner Carl Young.
This year's conference attracted the largest gathering in its history. Roger Hill, who co-founded the event, credited the turnout to chasers who wanted to honor Samaras.
"Surely, the first chaser to be killed would be anyone other than Tim," Doswell said. "That's what we all thought.
"Tim was experienced," he added. "He was very safety conscious. Tim had a reason to be close to the tornado. His mission was to collect the data that no one prior to Tim had been successful in collecting."
That required Tim Samaras and his crew to take great risks, Doswell said, and those risks finally caught up with them.
In a presentation earlier in the day, weather researcher Jon Davies – who until a few years ago called Wichita home – showed how the El Reno tornado expanded dramatically, accelerated, took a hard left turn and even looped back around, catching and killing Samaras and his team.
The fourth chaser killed by the El Reno tornado, Richard Henderson, had little to no experience chasing storms, Doswell said.
He asked how many chasers at the conference had put themselves in the path of a tornado, were close enough to be hit by debris or had to race to avoid being hit by a tornado. Hands – sometimes dozens – were raised in each case.
For any of those who raised their hands, Doswell said, "all it would have taken is some unforeseen circumstance, and we'd be dead. No one is immune. Anything can go wrong."
Samaras wouldn't want his death to discourage people from chasing tornadoes, Doswell said, so he wasn't going to try to discourage it.
"If we want to honor Tim and his teammates, if we want to have the loss mean anything, we have to think seriously about why we need to be in close to large, dangerous tornadoes – and we better have a damn good reason," Doswell said.
"Just be responsible, that's all."
The El Reno tornado didn't teach chasers anything new, Doswell said.
"Rain-wrapped tornadoes are dangerous – gosh, what a revelation," he said. "Being close to a large, rain-wrapped tornado, it's hard to judge when it changes direction. Duh."
Many chasers tracking the El Reno tornado misjudged its size and speed, including Mike Bettes of the Weather Channel, whose three-vehicle team was hit by the tornado. A subvortice of the tornado hurled the chase vehicle Bettes and two members of his crew were in an estimated 125 yards, though they survived.
Bettes spoke about that experience in a presentation Saturday morning, admitting he and his team didn't realize how large and fast the tornado was. They were north of the eastbound tornado and tried to get south of it so they could get better video of the tornado – the widest ever recorded at 2.6 miles – but ended up driving right into it.
Bettes said he will continue chasing, but he'll take fewer risks.
"Nothing thrills me more than being able to show a live tornado on TV," he said.
But from now on, he said, "I'm not going to risk my safety or the safety of my crew to get that shot. I can always record it."
Bettes urged the chasers to act as if their families were along for the ride.
"If you had your kids in the back seat, would you do what you did?" he asked. "Most of us would probably say no."
Speakers at previous ChaserCons urged chasers to learn first aid and take first-responder classes so they could assist the injured after a tornado has struck a city or a farmstead. But Doswell went the opposite direction.
"Storm chasing is a hobby," he said. "Chasers aren't out there to save lives. So quit saying that crap. It's a lie, and you know it."
The people who save lives are the National Weather Service and emergency management agencies, he said. Chasers can help them by calling in information, but that's as much as they should do unless they can render first aid to a victim right where they are.
"You've got no business hanging around after a tornado has gone through a community," he said. "You are only in the way of people who know what they're doing."
Realizing that what he said may not be popular with his audience, Doswell closed his presentation – which he had called "holding up a mirror" the night before – by saying he was open for questions, comments and "death threats."
But there were none.
"I'm glad he said what he said," Wichita chaser Melissa Capps said.
Veteran chaser Eugene Thieszen, a Mennonite pastor from Cordell, Okla., also praised Doswell's candor.
"It's something we need to be reminded of every five or 10 years," Thieszen said.

They just opened and are doing 40% off! That's awesome! My friend and I went in today to get pedis and it was soo relaxing! Titi did an amazingggg job on my pedi and massaged my legs/feet for so long! Lilian did an amazing job on my friends pedi, my friend also got an amazing pedi. We both enjoyed our experience here along with some really good green tea (my fav) and we will definitely be back! :)
I finally found my nail place! This is a brand new salon, which means everything is clean and pretty, and works properly! I have been to so many old worn out nail salons - ugh. They are super sanitary, which is a must! The staff are all very sweet and welcoming.( Not rude and pushy, like some places). Best of all, my pedi was amazing! She did an immaculate job.
I went about a month ago for a pedicure and it still looks good.But what sets this place apart from others is their service and care for the customer. Paul makes sure you are well taken care of and the girl who did my nails definitely delivered great service too. I felt my business was appreciated and I will definitely go back and have referred friends as well.
Very relaxing atmosphere and very comfortable. Paul was very pleasant and made me very comfortable during my stay. I would definitely go back and would recommend it to others.

Rapper 50 Cent has been ordered to hand over $16 million to bosses at Sleek Audio over a failed deal to launch his own headphone line.
The In Da Club hitmaker, real name Curtis Jackson, partnered with company executives in 2011 for his own Sleek by 50 line, but the collection never materialised and he filed suit the following year (12) over allegations they did not refund him his initial investment after the project fell through.
He then went on to launch an earphones line with rival firm SMS Audio, but the announcement did not sit well with Sleek chiefs, who went on to accuse the rapper of stealing the designs of the over-the-ear products they had been developing together for his SMS line.
The two parties entered arbitration talks, and now it's been revealed that a judge at the District Court in Miami, Florida has affirmed an award in Sleek Audio's favor, demanding 50 Cent pay them $11.7 million in damages, in addition to almost $4.5 million in legal fees.

In a news briefing on Tuesday, National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster said that a Washington Post piece claiming that President Donald Trump had revealed classified information to a Russian contingent visiting the White House "is false" and called the president's conversation with the officials "wholly appropriate."
The Post article, published Monday, claimed that Trump "revealed highly classified information to the Russian foreign minister and ambassador in a White House meeting last week, according to current and former U.S. officials, who said Trump's disclosures jeopardized a critical source of intelligence on the Islamic State."
On Monday, McMaster issued a strongly worded statement denying the story.
Advertisement - story continues below
"There's nothing that the president takes more seriously than the security of the American people," McMaster's statement said, according to Fox News. "The story that came out tonight as reported is false.
"The president and the foreign minister reviewed a range of common threats to our two countries including threats to civil aviation. At no time, at no time were intelligence sources or methods discussed. And the President did not discuss any military operations that were not already publicly known.

"Two other senior officials who were present, including the secretary of state, remember the meeting the same way and have said so," he added. "Their on-the-record accounts should outweigh anonymous sources. And I was in the room, it didn't happen."
On Tuesday, McMaster again attacked the WaPo piece in a briefing Fox News described as "tense."
Advertisement - story continues below
"I stand by my statement that I made yesterday … the premise of that article is false," McMaster said. "That conversation was wholly appropriate."
Even though the media seems to have coalesced around this story, the White House seems pretty adamant.
Is it another case of "very fake news?" Stay tuned.

HAL DUNCAN'S GUIDE TO FANTASTIC CITIESWelcome to the BlogPosted by Read Raw Ltd Sun, May 22, 2011 13:27:35
Hal Duncan's "A to Z of the Fantastic City", is coming out from Small Beer Press publishers of the mighty "Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet", among other things.
Cities that get a look in include Byzantium, Further, Interzone, Metropolis, R'yleh, Sodom, and Xanadu, and many more, and apart from Hal's contribution, there are illustrations by polymath, Eric Schaller (I mean that because he's a scientist, fiction writer and illustrator), and there's also an introduction by noted expert Henry V. Duncan - could he be related to Al? We'll see.
Looks a lot of fun and only costs $10, or $25 for the special edition.
Hal Duncan is the author or "Vellum" and "Ink" and "Escape from Hell" and the poetry collection "Sonnets for Orpheus" and you can find out more about him at the place where he rambles on.
Very essential, as Frank Zappa once said to someone who came up on stage and recited a poem about Broadmoor.

Insulin pen or insulin pump which is better?
Depends on you: Taking Insulin by injection or by pump are both good options. There are very many well-controlled people with diabetes who do each. The primary question is which of the two ways of delivering Insulin will work best for you. People like using Insulin pumps because it simplifies the math associated with accurate testing and because it offers more flexibility in hour by hour and day by day dosing. People like injections because they are simpler and do not require being tethered to a device all the time. ...Read more
Which are some pros and cons of an insulin pump?
Lifestyle: Hi. Pumps are purely a lifestyle decision. All the cost & technology of a pump can't do anything for your control you can't do just as well with Lantus (insulin glargine) & Novolog/Humalog/Apidra. You have to test your BG just as much. To me, a CGM is far more beneficial for control, and if it comes to one to the other (pump vs. CGM), I say CGM hands down. The only CGM worth having is Dexcom. The Medtronic CGM sucks ...Read more
How often does an insulin pump need to be removed?
Usually every 3 days: If you are referring to the plastic catheter tube that delivers Insulin from the pump, and is inserted under the skin --- then this Insulin pump site should be changed in most patients every 3 days.

The Insulin pump is good for type 1 diabetics who are motivated to fine tune their gluc. ...Read more
How do I know if an insulin pump is the right choice for me?
It depends: Just like most other aspects of diabetes management there is no "right" answer to this question. If you need additional flexibility in your Insulin dosing and don't mind being tethered to a device 24 hours a day seven days a week and your insurance will pay for it then a pump may be a good option. If you are well-controlled on Insulin injections and have issues with any of the above there may not be a reason to change. Ask your endocrinologist. ...Read more

What advice do you have for someone about to start an insulin pump?
You'll love it!: First of all, work closely with your pump trainer, ask lots of questions. Next, be sure to check your blood sugars frequently, as you won't have long-acting Insulin working if your pump or infusion site is not properly delivering insulin. Be sure you have a vial of Insulin and syringe with you in case you need to give a shot of Insulin the "old way". You will enjoy your new life as a "pumper". ...Read more
What are the common reasons given for not using an insulin pump and cgm?

Some reasons it may not be right might include increased cost, complexity, not wanting to be dependent on a machine, very active lifestyle, self-consciousness, or not wanting to test as often as expected with a pump or cgm.

For the most part, pumping is very safe, but be prepared for emergencies! ...Read more
What are the risks and benefits of insulin pump?
See below: Risk: pump malfunction, insertion site infection. Benefits: you always have Insulin with you (no "surprise" meals with no Insulin cause you didn't plan ahead), can take Insulin for snacks without another injection, can decrease Insulin during/after exercise to avoid lows, you can have Insulin delivered more slowly for a meal that takes longer to digest (dual wave bolus), more. ...Read more
Is an insulin pump inconvenient or uncomfortable?
Not usually: Pumps do take a little getting used to, and some trial and error to learn what works best for sleeping, sex, using the restroom, etc. The nurses and educators who help with the training do a terrific job to help each individual figure out what length tubing works best for them, and how to overcome any problems that arise. ...Read more
I hate needles. Would an insulin pump be easier for me than injections?
Yes: You still have to insert the pump once every 3 days (for most pump) so you will still have to "inject/poke" yourself once every 3 days but that's better than injecting 3-4x daily. On the pump, you will still have to check blood sugar like before, if not more. ...Read more

Is an insulin pump safe for a 19yr. Old guy?
Can be: Insulin pumps are excellent for getting tight glucose control, and they are most often used for type 1 diabetes, aka juvenile diabetes.

BEIJING (AP) — Japanese stocks tumbled while Chinese markets gained Monday after Donald Trump took office as U.S. president and promised "American first" policies, adding to concerns about the threat of protectionism.
KEEPING SCORE: The Shanghai Composite Index rose 0.9 percent to 9,412.54 and Hong Kong's Hang Seng added 0.7 percent to 23,051.68. Tokyo's Nikkei 225 fell 1.1 percent to 18,924.87 and Sydney's S&P-ASX 200 lost 0.6 percent to 5,623.20. Seoul's Kospi added 0.1 percent to 2,067.59 and Taiwan and Singapore also gained. Jakarta and New Zealand fell.
TRUMP ON TRADE: Trump has rattled businesspeople in Japan, China and other major U.S. trading partners who worry about his promises to restrict commerce and shift jobs back to the United States. Trump's inauguration speech repeated those themes but gave no additional details. A Chinese state-run newspaper, the Global Times, said Saturday "dramatic changes" lay ahead for the global economic order.
ANALYST'S TAKE: "Trump's inauguration speech really offered nothing new for investors to latch on, besides harping on old themes of economic 'carnage' that will be stopped," said Mizuho Bank in a report. "His implication that previous U.S. policies did not put America first sounds misguided, and thus any reversal of policy could well prove to be more negative than not," it said. "The next 100 days would likely keep markets tense on any announcements as his policy platform is likely to see a large discontinuity from previous U.S. policy bias."
WALL STREET: Major stock indexes pulled back slightly as Trump delivered his first remarks as president on Friday but recovered to end higher, snapping a five-day losing streak for the Dow Jones industrial average. A crop of encouraging company earnings news helped lift the market. The Dow rose 94.85 points, or 0.5 percent, to 19,827.25. The Standard & Poor's 500 index gained 7.62 points, or 0.3 percent, to 2,271.31. The Nasdaq composite index added 15.25 points, or 0.3 percent, to 5,555.33. Despite Friday's gains, the three major stock indexes ended the week lower.
ENERGY: Benchmark U.S. crude gained 9 cents to $53.31 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. On Friday, the contract jumped $1.10 to close at $53.22. Brent crude, used to price international oils, advanced 12 cents to $55.61 in London. It soared $1.33 the previous session to close at $55.49.
CURRENCY: The dollar declined to 113.62 yen from Friday's 114.53. The euro gained to $1.0743 from $1.0702.

Southern Culture Artisan Foods is an all-natural breakfast company, founded when owner Erica Barrett realized that there were no high quality pancake and waffle mixes on the grocery store shelf. Inspired by her goal to reinvent breakfast, Erica left the grocery store an entrepreneur and began figuring out where to focus her energy first.
One of Erica's first strategies for growth? Exhibiting at trade shows. In this exclusive interview, we spoke with Erica about how attending trade shows helped fuel the growth of her product, why bootstrapping was the best fit for Southern Culture Foods and how appearing on Shark Tank boosted her brand.
When Erica was just starting out, the first trade show she attended was a home and gift show called America's Mart in her hometown of Atlanta.
"I didn't know anything about trade shows, I just knew that if I really wanted to get out there I needed to put my money where my mouth is," Erica explained. "I spent about $4,000 at that show and we made close to $80,000 before leaving the show in three days."
That experience not only launched the Southern Culture Artisan Foods brand, but quickly catapulted the business to the next level. Their successful showing at America's Mart kickstarted their customer base and lead Erica to continue exhibiting at trade shows to capitalize on their success. Today, Erica attends and exhibits at about eight trade shows per year. Through trade shows, she was able to secure purchase orders with QVC, Target and other major retailers that they now do business regularly with.
"I would say that in this day and age, companies shouldn't be going door to door to market their business. They should really be participating in these trade shows to be taken seriously because that's where the buyers go," Erica continues.
Although there can be a high up-front cost associated with attending trade shows, including the exhibitor fee, booth rentals and giveaway items, Erica finds the expense to be extremely worthwhile – even when she was bootstrapping her company.
"The first two years we were really, really bootstrapped. It was just self-funding," says Erica. "If you're spending that much money to go to a trade show, you shouldn't let anybody pass your booth. That [person walking by] could be your next big buyer."
To meet their 2015 sales projections of $1.5 million, the two biggest challenges for Erica are the need for mass production mixers and warehouse space. Because Erica did not have a large infusion of capital, if the company needed to purchase a forklift or other new equipment, they would need to wait to receive their profits from a large purchase order before they were able to buy the equipment. In fact, the majority of the money spent has been on equipment. Most recently, they have invested money in building out their production kitchen and making improvements to their space.
"If we had more warehouse space, we could spread out orders. Most of the time we run out of space," Erica explains.
Due to those challenges, it's no surprise that 90% of the money that Erica has invested into the business has been to fund the large volume of purchase orders secured at trade shows.
In 2014, Erica appeared on ABC's Shark Tank to promote Southern Culture Artisan Foods. While the experience was invaluable in terms of positive press, the sharks weren't able to come up with appealing deal terms.
"We got two offers on the show and we took a deal with Barbara Corcoran on the show, but we didn't close a deal after," Erica shares. "Barbara wanted 35% equity for $100,000 and we really needed more money to grow our business."
Because Erica was in a position where she was not dependent on taking a deal with poor terms, she made the decision to turn down the sharks in favor of looking elsewhere for growth capital.
"I'm totally fine if we don't get a lump sum of funding because we're now at a place where we've been in business for three years and our business is growing. "If we have to bootstrap to keep things going, sometimes it works out because we're still gaining customers and building a rock solid business," says Erica.
However, the experience on Shark Tank was still extremely beneficial. The positive press after the show aired (and every time the episode is re-run) helped increase sales and brand awareness for Southern Culture.
"The show was great for marketing and PR. I have people that stop me every single day and say 'I saw you on that show,'" says Erica. "We did a great number of online sales after the show. I really think it helped from an advertising and marketing standpoint, which is what the purpose of the show is for."
The appearance also helped them market the product without needing to spend a large amount of money.
"The bigger you get, you do need to put money into marketing where your customer lives and shops. I would say one of the biggest challenges is finding the most creative ways to market without spending money," says Erica.

Mistress Lea likes young girls, she likes them so much that she gives this one a devilish punishment. Lea tied her girl, rubbed her pussy and did her ways with this young slut. See how much pleasure and pain she gives and how the chick bends and flexes? Those ropes are keeping her in one place and the fun just began

"The Voice" mega-star Blake Shelton and bro-country act Florida Georgia Line will headline the three-day Mountain Home Music Festival in summer 2015.
The event July 31-Aug. 2 is being sponsored by Bi-Mart, which also supports the large-scale Willamette Country Music Festival in Eugene, Ore., and the new Cape Blanco Country Music Festival in Sixes, Ore. Featuring more than 20 acts, it has all the makings of the Boise area's largest-attended country event of the year. Organizers are hoping for 20,000 fans or more. A third headliner will be announced, and I expect it to be significant: Miranda Lambert? Kenny Chesney? Brad Paisley?
The Mountain Home News is all over this puppy, indicating that the festival will take place "on the flats just northeast of the Highway 20 turnoff to Pine/Featherville, known as the Faulkner property, where a stage and campsite for visitors will be built for the show."
Camping will be available, as well as vendors and a KidZone.
Tickets go on sale at 9 a.m. Thursday. Details below.
Enjoy some country-rap, Idaho.

Work the Stash Wednesday Fashion Inspired Card
Today I am entering the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge me Monday #100 with a card inspired by fashion. As part of this week's challenge, I had to use purple, turquoise and green. I was inspired by a lace dress I saw in this Sunday's paper with flowers on top of the lace.
So, I started with Paper Lace and cut two of the same pieces. I hid the center of the flowers on one of the cuts and then hand cut out the flowers and added embellishments in the center. I once again layered Dew Drops by The Robin's Nest on top of glitter! There is a layer of glittered vellum between the lace layer and the turquoise layer. One of my goals was to use paper in my scrap stash.
Along with Paper Lace, I used the CTMH Art Philosophy and matching stamp set for my label and sentiment. Under the label I added a bit of fringe yarn.
