Here was the Mariners' reputed organizational depth and roster flexibility in action and lifting them to their first winning road series of the season.
Ben Gamel delivered a tie-breaking single (VIDEO LINK) in the ninth inning Thursday afternoon that lifted the Mariners to a 2-1 victory over the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park.
The Mariners recalled Gamel a day earlier from Triple-A Tacoma after an injury forced right fielder Mitch Haniger to the disabled list.
Edwin Diaz closed out the victory with a scoreless ninth as the Mariners made it two in a row after absorbing a 19-9 pounding in Tuesday's series opener.
The game ended with super utilityman Taylor Motter — he merits that, right — sprinting over from first base, reaching over the tarp and into the stands (VIDEO LINK) to catch a foul pop amid the fans.
"I thought it was a foul ball," Diaz marveled. "Then everybody started looking. So I started looking. That catch was amazing."
Add, too, a web-gem catch by left fielder Guillermo Heredia (VIDEO LINK) in blunting a Detroit threat in the first inning along with an impactful return to the lineup by third baseman Kyle Seager, who drove in one run and scored the other.
"Today was an all-around good win," Motter said. "When you have a game like that, and you scratch across two and only give them one, it's a good day."
The Mariners outlasted Detroit ace Justin Verlander, who exited (VIDEO LINK) after allowing one unearned run in seven innings. He gave up five hits and two walks while striking out eight in a 119-pitch effort.
"Our guys," manager Scott Servais said, "really grinded at-bats out against Verlander, who was on top of his game today."
Tigers reliever Justin Wilson struck out the side in the eighth inning before Seager started the winning rally with a one-out double in the ninth against Tigers closer Francisco Rodriguez.
"We've got the reports and all of that stuff," Seager said, "but he's tough. He jumps at you. The changeup is so good. He attacks you in a lot of different ways. He's gotten me, I think, every other time I've faced him."
(That's Seager being modest. He was actually 1-for-4 against K-Rod with an RBI single, although two the outs were strikeouts.)
Gamel then used Seager's at-bat as a model.
"Kyle had a great at-bat right before me," Gamel said. "I was kind of watching how K-Rod was pitching him. I kind of knew what to look for, and I got my pitch."
That was the difference.
Diaz closed it out for his third save — with an assist from Motter on James McCann's foul pop with a runner on first base.
"The only thing that was in my head," Motter said, "is I knew the tarp was coming up soon. I either catch it or the tarp is going to take me out before I get there."
Mariners starter Hisashi Iwakuma pitched into the sixth inning before the Mariners went to the bullpen. He also gave up just one unearned run.
Marc Rzepczynski and Tony Zych produced 2 1/3 scoreless innings as a bridge to Diaz. Zych (1-0) got the victory. Rodriguez (1-2) was the loser. Diaz got his third save in four chances.
Iwakuma and Verlander matched zeroes through five innings before Nelson Cruz floated a one-out pop into short right field in the sixth inning.
Right fielder Jim Adduci initially caught the ball (VIDEO LINK) but dropped it when he collided with center fielder Tyler Collins.
It was initially scored a double but changed to an error on Collins.
All that mattered was the Cruz ended up on second. Seager followed by a serving a soft single (VIDEO LINK) into center that scored Cruz for the game's first run.
The lead didn't last.
Collins opened the Detroit sixth with a double past Gamel in right. After Nick Castellanos struck out, Victor Martinez just missed a homer on a fly to right.
Martinez then hit a grounder to second baseman Robinson Cano, positioned in short right field. Cano went into a slide (VIDEO LINK) for a backhand stab at the ball, which caromed off his glove and rolled several feet away.
Collins scored easily on the error.
It stayed 1-1 until the ninth.
PLAY(S) OF THE GAME: Take your pick.
Heredia helped bail out Iwakuma from a two-on, one-out jam in the first inning with a sliding catch on Martinez's foul pop after a long run.
Motter ended the game by tumbling over the tarp and reaching into the stands to catch McCann's foul pop.
PLUS: Seager went 2-for-4 in his first start since April 21. Asked about his sore right hip, he said: "It's good. No issue."…Gamel had two singles in his four at-bats…Rzepczynski retired both batters faced. He has allowed just one hit in 6 1/3 scoreless innings this season in nine appearances.
MINUS: Cano had a costly error that produced Detroit's only run. It was his first error of the season…Jarrod Dyson has seen Verlander more than anyone on the Mariners. It didn't help. He went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts…catcher Carlos Ruiz failed to get a glove on a hard-breaking pitch by Zych, and the ball hit him flush on his big right toe. Ruiz shook it off and finished the game.
STAT PACK: The Mariners limited the Tigers to one unearned run and eight hits over the last two games after giving up 19 runs and 24 hits in the series opener.
QUOTABLE: "We're going to keep playing those (young) guys," Servais said. "They do have ability. They're young, but the only way to get experience in this league is to play.
"We have to create opportunities for all of the guys. Heredia has stepped up. Gamel a nice day today. We'll get (Dan) Vogelbach back in there. These guys are going to contribute."
SHORT HOPS: Rain delayed the start of the game by 45 minutes…the Mariners have won three of their last four road games after a 1-9 start…Verlander has 10 straight quality starts against the Mariners but is just 4-3 in that stretch.

February 23, 1997Books From The Times
By CHRISTINE SCHWARTZ HARTLEYSince May 1992, Lois Smith Brady has crashed -- her own word -- weddings for The New York Times. The results, accompanied by Edward Keating's photographs, have appeared regularly in Ms. Brady's column, Vows, in The Times on Sundays. Now she has collected some 80 favorites in VOWS: Weddings of the Nineties From The New York Times (Morrow, $23). Of weddings in the 90's Ms. Brady notes: ''Almost anything is possible and permissible these days. I've watched ceremonies in hayfields, deep forests, ski lodges and cathedrals; one in the middle of a city street; and another on a beach with barefoot bridesmaids.'' Fashions in weddings may come and go, but Ms. Brady reports a factor that has remained constant for decades: in ceremonies freelanced for the occasion by the marriagees, the poet most quoted is still Kahlil Gibran.

Yes, I did do it. Finished the Einstein coat/sweater for Sarah to take back to Philly with her. Turned out very nice if I do say so myself. Only thing not pleased with completely are the buttons and may have to find some others to replace them. It took 7 skeins of the Noro Kochoran yarn. I made it shorter than what the Sally Melville pattern in the Knit Stitch called for because I didn't really want a coat length, that is when I was planning on wearing it. Ahem! Definitely a fun sweater to knit, to keep one in progress for when you're traveling and need mindless knitting. Barbara at KnitXperience showed off her lovely Einstein coat, a full coat. Outstanding!
After knitting what seemed like non-stop on this sweater and a bunch of fingerless mitts for Christmas presents, i decided my hands needed a rest. That lasted about 6 hours max, until the hands and needles were going again. How about you? Did you get worn out knitting Christmas gifts or are you still going strong?

I liked the Goldeneye/Perfect Dark type style of a relatively open level with objectives to handle in any order. Playing on Unreal the challenge seemed decent enough; I felt in danger but died rarely, and was just stretched for ammo enough that I couldn't spam my most effective weapons but didn't get frustrated with how little I had. The architecture did a nice job with focusing on broad strokes over small details (to the point the couple of corridors and similar that did felt slightly ill-fitting in comparison). I did find a funny bug though as one of the windows in the research area is non-solid: http://imgur.com/uRQteEc (probably really dark as I need to set up my screenshot program properly) . A good level although I don't think it has enough "wow" in any area to go beyond that.

Synopsis: He was someone who belonged in my wildest fantasies instead of a rest stop in the middle of Nebraska.
A sexy, cocky, Australian named Chance was the last person I expected to run into on my cross-country drive.
When my car broke down, we made a deal. Next thing I knew, we were traveling together, spending sexually-tense nights in hotels and taking unplanned detours.
My ordinary road trip turned into the adventure of a lifetime. It was all fun and games until things got intense.
I wanted him, but Chance wouldn't make a move. I thought he wanted me too, but something was holding him back.
I wasn't supposed to fall for him, especially when I knew we'd be going our separate ways.
All good things must come to an end, right?
Except our ending was one I didn't see coming.
Author's note – Cocky Bastard is a full-length standalone novel. Due to strong language and sexual content, this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18.

This semester was the first time the Web Design, Development and Maintenance program switched to a Mac-only lab. Our old Windows PCs have been replaced with shiny new iMacs— quite an improvement in my humble opinion.
Our dedicated lab seems to have gotten bigger as those powerful, but huge PCs were taking up far too much room. This is a great sign for the semester. I'm hoping this upgrade will help our students produce some more amazing work quickly and more efficiently!

An unsanctioned teachers group in the Philadelphia School District is pushing a Black Lives Matter curriculum on children but is facing skepticism and complaints for its efforts, a report says.
Reception is cool among some for the proposed liberal activist curriculum being pushed by a teachers group called the Caucus of Working Educators, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer.
The teachers group has plans to promulgate the Black Lives Matter scheme on kids from the very youngest to the oldest students in the district.
But some teachers are standing in opposition to the drive to indoctrinate kids in Black Lives Matter propaganda, among them Christopher Paslay, an English teacher at Swenson Arts and Technology High School.
Paslay was critical of the plan, saying Black Lives Matter, "challenges nuclear families, and our justice system. I don't think kids should be taught that Western society is perpetrating a war on black people."
The school district is also not standing behind the activists' plans. The new classes are not being sanctioned or mandated by district officials. They are also not being recognized by the Philly Federation of Teachers.
John McNesby, president of FOP Lodge 5 in Philadelphia, is also critical of teaching children from the perspective of the anti-police BLM movement.
"We don't agree with it. We think there's a lot better subjects that could be taught," McNesby said.
Still, organizers say that teaching about the "13 tenets of the Black Lives Matter movement" is an important goal.
"We have to validate our students' experiences," said Charlie McGeehan, an English and history teacher and member of the Caucus of Working Educators. "Many of my students have had negative experiences with police officers. To ignore that is to deny their reality in a way that doesn't make sense."
Teaching the tenets of BLM is fraught with pitfalls, though. Due to the fractious nature of the movement there are competing versions of the guidelines or principles of the movement. Some suggest there are seven principles, other groups count ten solutions, another group insists there are 12 guidelines, while still others claim to have as many as 13 guiding principles.
Regardless, H. Lee Whack Jr., a district spokesman, stressed that the liberal activist group's plans are not sanctioned by the Philadelphia Schools.
"However, the district encourages teachers to responsibly engage students around pertinent issues to develop critical thinking skills and a respect for the exchange of ideas," the paper reported. "The district regularly encourages schools to look to current-event topics for appropriate teaching content that is also aligned with grade-appropriate standards."

Acne and Skin Care
To get clear skin that is free from acne is not accomplished by scrubbing your face every day. You are only damaging your skin and making the acne worse. I wish that it was as simple to cure acne as just scrub a dub dubbing your face. If that were the case, we would all have wonderfully smooth and clear skin.
Top Acne Products
Picking and pinching the zits and blemishes is not the answer either. Again, you are making a bad situation worse. It is hard for most people to keep their hands away from those pesky and annoying pimples and blackheads.
If you use your fingers to pick at these acne problems you are going to create more unsightly blemishes and you can even develop some really severe skin infections. Take a deep breath and remove those wayward fingers from your face and let's look at some other ways to deal with the acne that is trying to become your BFF.
Holistic Acne Products
One of the best ways to deal with acne is to take a more holistic and healthy approach. Start with a healthy diet. Stay away from the greasy fried foods and the fast foods. Add more veggies and fresh fruits to your diet.
Also take a vitamin every day and make sure that it has antioxidant properties. You can ask your pharmacist to recommend one. In fact, there are some supplements now that are made to encourage healthy, clear skin and they are loaded with natural anti-oxidants. The anti-oxidants fight the bacteria and help your skin cells get rejuvenated.
Drink plenty of fresh water to help your body flush out impurities and waste products. Take a few minutes each day for some stress relief. You can try meditation, yoga, exercise or just try a little quiet time to find your inner balance.
Buy Exposed Skin Care Treatment
Use mild glycerin soaps that are hypoallergenic and non- perfumed to wash your face. These will be dermatologist approved and will not clog your pores. Avoid make-up and even after shaves and colognes on any acne areas so you do not unwittingly aggravate the situation.
Make an anti-acne rinse for your face. You can combine 1 tablespoon rosemary leaves, 1 tablespoon lemon thyme leaves and 1 teaspoon of celery seed in a piece of cheesecloth . Bring 2 cups of water to a boil and drop this little pouch into the water.
Allow it to steep for 1 hour. Remove the herbs. Pour the liquid into a jar with a screw top and use this to rinse your face at least 4-5 times a day. Notice the improvement after 1 week. Your skin will be clearer and healthier and this is a very safe and easy treatment.

We believe that missions is not just something you support financially, but something to be experienced. There is something profoundly inspiring about giving your time and resources for serving other people. We go with the hope that we can make a difference in the lives of those we encounter, but every time, without fail, the greatest impact is seen in the life of the person who goes. So we invite you with us. Experience the transforming work of serving God. Below are our annual trips away from our home community. You can also check out our ministry partners page, or contact the church office, to see what service opportunities are available locally.
Opportunities to go
Every year a group from Trinity goes to Haiti through the organization Mission of Hope. Over the years we have sent dozens of people on this trip. This one is particularly special because Haiti is a place unlike anywhere else in America. You will encounter kind and gracious people who are living in the most extreme poverty in our hemisphere. We love Mission of Hope because they are doing an incredible work in this country within the cultural context of Haiti. Their work is focused on mind, body, and heart.
Mind - Mission of Hope runs several schools that are leading this country in graduation rates, and they are starting a trade school to further equip local people.
Body - They run wellness clinics and send medical missionaries in the rural areas where there is no access to medical help. On top of this, Mission of Hope feeds 90,000 Haitian people daily with the goal of one day using 100% Haitian grown food.
Heart - The primary concern of this ministry is the spiritual care of the people.
Mission teams have the opportunity to reach local people in many ways. We choose to plant trees when we go on a trip for several reasons. A fruit tree is a practical gift for people who are hungry. People are eager to have you in their home, they are open to learning about who you are. and the tree proves to be a great vehicle for sharing the gospel message. We have distributed hundreds of trees over the years, and with each we have shared the gospel, seeing dozens of people accept the Lord.
We invite you to consider joining us this year. This invitation comes with a warning. You will experience a cultural shock. It is likely that you will spend the entire week asking yourself "What am I looking at?" You will also find this experience strangely compelling. You will find joy in the simplicity, a level of compassion that you have not had before, and a changed perspective. Information for our next trip will be posted soon.

youth trip
Every year, the youth at Trinity go on a cross cultural mission trip. This is an opportunity to experience different regions of the country and world, learn about their needs and values, serve these communities and people, and grow in faith. The past few years we have gone to rural Arkansas, intercity Flint, the mountains of Vermont, and the impoverished nation of Haiti. In the past 4 years we have been to 13 states, Haiti, and we could see Canada from across Niagara Falls. We have visited the Baseball Hall of Fame, historic sites in Boston, we toured the Ben and Jerry's factory, gone to music festivals, drove by the Arch in St Louis, and swam in Beaver Lake.
In 2017, July 7-15, we are going to Clarksville, Georgia. On this trip we will have the chance to work with a largely Hispanic, rural, mountain community. We will be working to make the homes of local people a safe place to live and we could be working with a children's summer program.

If this sounds like the kind of trip you would like to go on, Pastor Josh is the person to talk to. He will be able to give you all the details you will need to know.

'Good teaching and learning'. That has been the Science Department's focus in the last 8 years. We have achieved this – reflected in our continued success of the last 7 years. CORE Grades have averaged 80% A*-C (24% above the national average). Additional Science Grades have also remained high. We are continuing to attain our goal of 'outstanding teaching and learning'.
- We are the largest department in the School as Science is a CORE subject (with effectively 3 subjects combined – Biology, Chemistry and Physics). We have a Head of Department (KS4 Responsibility) and a Second in Department (KS3 Responsibility). We have heads of Biology, Chemistry and Physics. We have six experienced teachers (5 full time, 1 part time). We all have vast experience (and success) at delivering the GCSE Curriculum with three Biologists, two Chemists and one Physics specialist.
- There are 4 large laboratories, which have Fume Cupboards and the standard equipment necessary for delivering Science to a GCSE Level, as a practical subject.
- Our new 6th Form block has 3 laboratories, dedicated to AS/A2 Level teaching of Chemistry and Physics.
- Pupils Study the 'Exploring Science' Framework - at KS3 (Years 7-9). This utilises Exploring Science although we have made our own SOW, adapting to our pupils and duration of teaching hours/week. We are looking to distribute CD-Roms for specific pupils within KS3, to help with revision.
- We study 'How Science Works' GCSE at KS4.
Staffing and Facilities
The department has eight teaching staff and three technicians.

Key Stage 4 - GCSE
In Years 10 and 11 Double Science we use the AQA Science – Oxford.
'Science A' (Year 10) Science = a combination of Biology/ Chemistry/ Physics plus Coursework (each aspect worth 25% of the 'Science A' GCSE).
'Additional Science' (Year 11) Science = a combination of Additional Biology/ Chemistry/ Physics plus Coursework (each aspect worth 25% of the 'Additional Science' GCSE).
With Further Additional (Triple) Science we use the AQA Science – Longman. This course is taken in Year 10 as an 'option'.
- Year 10 and Year 11 have setting to ability (5 classes each)
- In Year 10 we have 9 lessons per 2 weeks ( x3 Biology x3 Chemistry and x3 Physics with separate teachers, according to their specialism).
- In Year 11 we have 9 lessons per week ( x3 Biology x3 Chemistry and x3 Physics with separate teachers, according to their specialism).
We have Mock examinations in December and Examinations in May/June, with at least two pieces of assessed coursework/year. Thus, tracking of progress can be made with an accurate prediction of the GCSE (facilitating intervention).
Topics Covered - Combined Science
- Biology: Cell structure; transport in cells; cellular and organ systems; infection and response; homeostasis; ecology
- Chemistry: Atomic structure: periodic table; structure and bonding; chemical analysis; Earth's atmosphere
- Physics: Energy and forces; energy; particle model of matter; forces; waves - properties and EM spectrum
All topics have required practicals and end of unit tests.

- Science permeates through ALL aspects of our society, from the recycling bins that our Department funded to the understanding of 'reproduction' – with social, moral and ethical Issues. It would be impossible to list specific relevance as it is an 'over-reaching' subject
- We have a KS3 Year 7 Science Club.
Biology: The possibilities range from medicine to agriculture, forensics to zoology. Almost any degree will accept A-level biology.
Chemistry: All manufacturing industries, pharmaceuticals, food processing, cosmetics and metal works. Chemistry is essential for medicine, dentistry, chemical engineering and a whole host of health and environmental courses.
Physics: is essential for any engineering course or degree and is highly sought after for other scientific or technical careers. Physics is an advantageous subject for courses ranging from medicine to careers involving business and finance.

Having Fabulous Natural Nails IS Possible!
One of the key things I always tell my clients is, to come to the studio with their hands 'ready to be photographed'. Almost always your hands will make an appearance at some point during the session, so it's important they look just as fantastic as the rest of you!
But as someone who has historically never been able to grow or have long beautiful lady nails, I've always been mystified on how other women do it!
But, then, when visiting a day spa, I noticed the receptionist had lovely nails - when I asked about them, she told me they were tips… Tips?! Well… I wanted long nails at least once in my life, so I was inspired to give it a try. And they were great! For a while….
But, before long, the 3 hour bi-weekly trips to the salon were becoming quite a chore (and expensive); not to mention, you can only keep it up for so long before your natural nails begin to suffer. When the tips started popping off and there was a thin, almost non-existent nail living underneath it, I knew I had to stop…. What to do???
Well, by chance I happened to sit next to a lovely woman on a flight out to California who had amazing natural nails. I asked her her secret and she told me three things: regularly filing, taking vitamins, and wearing dish gloves. Hmmmm…..
I was inspired by her tips, but I knew for someone like me who's nails just aren't that strong. no matter what, I decided to dig a little deeper and come up with my own 'formula' for success.
And I found it!! I now have the most beautiful *natural* nails I've ever had.
How you ask?? It does take a little work, persistence and diligence, but if you follow my tips, it's possible for you too!
1. Wear dish gloves! The woman on the plane was correct! When your nails get wet, they get soft and very easy to damage. Not to mention, despite any softeners or lotions they might add, dish soap is detrimental to the skin on your hands too - remember it's the neck and the hands that give away a woman's age, so you want to do your best to keep it all looking as healthy (and youthful) as possible.
2. File regularly. It may seem like a chore to have to file your nails often (every other day or so), but believe me, it makes a big difference. Filing keeps the edges smooth, so they don't tear or rip as easily. Besides, the longer your nails grow, the more 'out in the world' they are, which means they'll get dented and you want to keep them looking sharp and refined.
a. I use a crystal nail file (offered by Sephora). Its very delicate grain is great for precise shaping.
b. Do it when you're on the phone or watching TV. It takes maybe a minute or two at most.
c. Practice, practice, practice. If you're like me your motor skills are much more refined in one hand over the other, so trying to file with your weak hand may seem impossible, but with time and frequency it does get easier.
3. Push your cuticles. Dry, peeling, creeping or 'ripped' cuticles will make any manicure look terrible, so this too is a must do activity. I find it's easiest right after a shower or a bath when your skin is nice and soft and very easy to manipulate. My personal favorite is to use an angled orange stick to gently push back and rub with to remove any dead skin.
a. I do not recommend cutting your own cuticles!!! If you think that it's necessary, you should leave this up to a manicurist - there is nothing more painful if you do it wrong (not to mention it makes you vulnerable to infection, which never looks pretty).
4. Don't clip! This may seem counter intuitive, but for your hands, you should only shape with a nail file - if you need to remove an amount of length, get a nail file board that has different surfaces (very rough to fine) so that you can use the rough side to cut down and the fine side to shape up.
5. Clean underneath. Now, this doesn't influence the length or strength any, but it does keep your hands looking neat and proper at all times. When your nails get longer you'll notice a lot more stuff gets stuck underneath (lotions, lip balms, finger foods, etc.). So, it's a must to be diligent - the orange stick works great for this too.
6. Apply and Repeat. Having beautiful nails is an ongoing effort. Unfortunately, its not a one and done phenomenon. I usually do a new manicure once a week or if my schedule is uber busy, then two weeks tops! But, if you follow my tips, they'll still look great if you're not able to keep a regular schedule.
I wish it were possible to just maintain your nails and produce magical results, but the truth is, you need a little help from the following friends if you want to truly have lovely, lady nails.
1. Nail Hardener. My favorite is by Alemana. This stuff is amazing!! It doesn't smell the best, but you can literally feel your nails harden up as it starts to dry. It goes great under a top coat, or looks lovely on its own. It doesn't chip, lasts long and if you're a lazy nail painter (i.e you wait a couple weeks in between manicures) this is the stuff for you!
a. It only takes one coat to do the trick. Doing more than one can actually be a little painful.
2. Nail Strengthener. My favorite is by Barielle. This stuff is magical. Apparently it was originally formulated to use on thoroughbred race horses to keep their hooves looking show quality. When I first started using it, my poor nails were recovering from being under tips and shellac - which means they were peeling and paper thin. I did it twice a day (as recommended) until my nails started looking thicker and feeling stronger. Now I do it every other day as maintenance, but believe me, I can scratch hard surfaces, peel stickers, open coke cans, peel oranges….
3. Nail Growth. For me, my problem has always been having thin and flaking nails, whenever they'd get to a decent length, they'd start to tear or chip away. So frustrating! So, the clear solution at the time, was just to keep them short. I started using Duri Rejuvacote Nail Growth. Since using it there's a noticable difference in my nails; they are now stronger than they've ever been, and it's easy to use and dries quickly.
4. Vitamins* Beautiful nails come from the inside too. There are two specific vitamins I take to support growth and strength.
a. Biotin - this promotes "healthy hair, skin and nails" so it's 3x win all around. The dosage is up to you - I use 5,000 mcg, which is like 1,667% of your daily value, but they have many different options, so choose one that works best for your needs.
b. Prenatal pills - I specifically use the ones made by GNC with added Iron. I started using these on the recommendation of a wonderful Makeup Artist I used to work with. And this sounds crazy, but within hours of taking both this and the Biotin my nails literally felt stronger. They now grow faster, it's true, because when I slack off on the vitamins my nails become noticeably more flexible, and when I start up again they go back to being rock solid.
5. Nail Glue. This is a must have! Because, as your nails get longer, no matter how much maintenance and care you give, you will experience a rip, a tear or even a break from time to time. There's nothing sadder than working months to have great nails only to have one break. I love using Kiss Salon Results Precision Nail Glue as soon as a problem shows up. Its slender tip makes it easy to apply and it dries pretty quickly. I always put a healthy drop on the top (and underneath) and then once it's dry, file it down to smooth the surface. Once you have a break in your nail you may have to keep applying glue as it grows out, but it keeps your hands looking great.
No nails look completely finished w/o a lovely top coat. I won't lie and say that I'm an amazing nail painter, 'cause I'm not. Even with practice, if I used colored polish, my right hand looks like I had a kindergartener helped me out…. I've come up with a 'work around' that allows you to have lady-like hands, w/o having to pay someone to do it. The secret?? Sheer, pale shades and gold or silver glitters.
1. Using a sheer, pale shade like Dior's Ivoire 108 or Essie's 518 Princess Pink or K400 Pure Pearlfection will give you delicate, finished-looking nails and if you spill over to your cuticles (which I definitely do), it's barely noticeable. Score!!
2. Or, if you're feeling fun, using glitters as a top coat is also a great way to go, too. They make your nails look 'wet' and give the illusion of length (and again if you make a mess, it's easy enough to hide). My personal favorites are Essie LuxeEffects Set in Stones (large silver flakes), As Gold as it Gets (tiny tiny gold flakes) or Encrusted Treasures, Hors d'Oeuvres, which is actually opaque gold and silver glitter, which is fun for special occasions, like New Year's or your birthday. But, do be warned, the downside of glitter polish is that takes a some effort to remove.
The Workflow:
1. Start with clean, dry nails (I use a non-acetone remover and a cotton ball to get rid of the prior manicure).
2. If you need to push your cuticles, do it after a shower, or you can soak your fingertips in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes too.
3. File and shape your nails - I prefer an oval, pointed tip; that to me just looks very lady-like, but you may prefer square tips or 'squoval' which is a combo of the two.
a. If you have to glue (or re-apply glue) to a nail, this is the time to do it. Just be sure to file or buff it down, a four sided buffer works great.
4. Apply your base coat of Alemana nail hardener. If you want to keep it simple, you can stop here.
5. Apply your top coat (sheer or glitter).
6. At night before bed, use a small amount of Barielle. Now that my nails are longer, I put it both on the topside and the underside of the tip for added impact.
7. File every few days to keep the shape and the edges smooth.
8. Take vitamins* daily (follow the instructions on the bottle).
9. Repeat after a week or two.
For the Fellas:
I don't want you to feel left out, because having nice hands and nails is also very important for you too!
You probably won't need any of the above mentioned products, but the 5 things you need to remember are:
1. Clean! At the bare minimum, keep under your nails clean and white and wear gloves if you're going to be doing any manual, dirty labor.
2. Clip! Keep your nails trim and even length, nothing looks stranger than when a man has uneven or unkept nails.
3. File! Yes, you have to file! Clipping will keep them short, but filing will keep them neat.
4. Buff! This you do not have to do, but it's highly recommended. Get a four sided buffer and take a few minutes to pass the rough side and then the smooth side over your nails to keep them looking maintained and sharp.
5. Lotion! Dry rough hands never look (or feel, ahem) good.
6. Repeat!
7. Advanced: Soak your nails in warm soapy water for 3-5 mins, and use an

Man, 3 children perish in mobile home fire; wife escapes
Dec. 20, 2017
STOCKHOLM, N.Y. (AP) — An early morning fire tore through a family's mobile home on Tuesday, killing a man and his three children, authorities said. The children's mother escaped but forlornly asked a friend, "What am I going to do without my children?"
Troopers responded around 3 a.m. to a report of a fire at a mobile home with an attachment in Stockholm, a rural town near the Canadian border. They said when they arrived on the scene they learned four people had been trapped inside the home and died.
The mother jumped out of a bedroom window, but the three children were found in a back bedroom. The father was found by the front door, county coroner June Wood said.
"It appeared that he was trying to get to the children and collapsed," Wood said.
Police have identified the victims as William Bugbee, 55; his daughters, Allazza Bugbee, 5, and Alicia Bugbee, 6; and his stepdaughter, Shaylee Baxter, 14.
"It's very hard," Wood said. "Three children."
Bugbee's wife, Carrie Bugbee, 36, is the mother of all three children and was taken to a hospital for evaluation. Her friend Annette Peacock said she spoke with her at the hospital.
"She just looked at me and said, 'Nettie, what am I going to do without my children? My children are my life,'" Peacock told WWNY in Watertown. "Everything was just taken from her."
The cause of the fire was under investigation.
This story has been corrected to show the father's age is 55, not 56, and the mother's name is Carrie, not Carrier.

There are many dishes which I consider to be "comforting" such as pasta, bread, chocolate and pastry. There are also many dishes which I consider to be "refreshing" such as salad, smoothies, exotic fruit and pastry. Yes, pastry features on both my comforting and refreshing list. Why, because nothing is more comforting than the combination of butter and flour to make a crisp pastry and nothing is more refreshing than a crisp pastry with a light filling. I've made so many quiches, tarts and pies, far too many to count and this love affair with the tart, as previously shared on the blog, stemmed from a quiche being one of the first dishes I made as a child.
This Leek and Gruyere tart is by far the best tart I've made. Why? Well, previously I made pastry using margarine but decided it's time to upgrade to non salted butter, this combined with the method of making the pastry, made the pastry easy to handle, mould and roll out. I also adored the filling, using primarily the white part of the leek (although I could not resist slicing a few of the green parts), which quickly sweetened upon frying. The starring show of this tart was the Swiss Gruyere cheese, creamy, slightly sweet and salty and one the more luxurious cheeses to bake with, made this dish moreish, addictive and luscious. I would highly recommend making this dish, perfect for the Spring months served with homemade sweet potato wedges and a leafy salad. A tart that you and your family will truly enjoy.

Recipe for Leek and Gruyere Tart.
Serves 6
1 quantity rich shortcrust pastry
Makes enough to line a 24cm flan ring tin
250g plain flour
pinch of salt
140g chilled butter
2 egg yolks
3-4 tbsp chilled water
Method for the pastry
1) Sift the flour and salt into a medium bowl.
2) Cut the butter into small pieces and add to the flour. Using 2 cutlery knives and working in a scissor action, cut the butter into the flour, keeping the 2 knives in contact. Using knives rather than fingers help to keep the butter and flour cool.
3) Once the butter has been broken down to a small pea-sized pieces, use your fingertips to gently rub the little pieces of flour and butter together.
4) Give the bowl an occasional shake to lift larger lumps of butter to the surface. The mixture should become a uniform fine, pale crumb with now visible lumps of butter. If the mixture begins to turn yellow, the butter is softening too quickly and you need to put the bowl in the fridge for 5-10 minutes to chill the butter.
5) Mix the egg yolks and water together in a small bowl with a fork until evenly combined. Add 2-2 1/2 tbsp of the yolk mixture to the crumb and, using a cutlery knife, distribute the liquid as quickly as possible (this will create flakes of pastry)
6) Pull some of the flakes to the side and feel them; if they very dry, add a little more of the liquid to any dry areas of crumb and use the knife again. Don't be tempted to add too much liquid as it can make the pastry tough.
7) Use the flat of the knife to bring a few flakes and dry crumb together, to create larger lumps. Continue like this until there are no dry crumbs in the bottom bowl.
8) Pull the pastry together with your hands, shaping it into a flat disc, about 10cm in diameter and 1.5cm thick. Do this as quickly as possible, without overworking the pastry.
9) Wrap the pastry in cling film and chill for 20-30 minutes before rolling out. This will relax it and prevent to much shrinkage, as well as firm up the batter.
For the Tart filling
2 small leeks, white part only
30g butter
100g Gruyere cheese
3 eggs
250ml double cream
salt and pepper
1) Roll out the chilled pastry on a lightly floured surface to a 3mm thickness and use to line a 24cm loose-based flan set on a baking sheet. Cover with cling film and chill in the fridge until firm to touch.
2) Meanwhile, slice the leeks length ways in half with the root still intact, then thinly slice into half-rings and discard the root end. Wash well in cold water to remove any grit, then drain well.
3) Melt the butter in a small saucepan, add the leeks, cover with a damp cartouche and lid and sweat over a low heat until soft and slightly translucent. Drain the leeks or remove the lid and cartouche and allow the liquid to evaporate.
4) Blind bake the pastry for 15-20 minutes, then remove the cartouch and beans and bake for a further 5 minutes, or until the pastry looks dry and feels sandy to the touch. Remove from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 150C/Gas mark 2.
5) Put the eggs and cream into a small bowl and mix with a fork. Pass this mixture through a sieve into a clean medium bowl. Grate the cheese.
6) Add the sweated leeks and 85g of the grated cheese to the egg and cream mixture. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
7) Using a slotted spoon spoon the leeks and cheese into the pastry; they should half-fill the case. Pour the egg and cream mixture over the filling, making sure the case is full as possible. Sprinkle over the remaining cheese.
8) Carefully transfer to a shelf in the lower third of the oven and bake the tart for 40-50 minutes until the custard is pale yellow colour and just a little soft in the centre.
9) Allow to cool slightly on the baking wheel, then removed the side of the tin, if using, and slide the tart onto a wire rack, or lift the flan ring after transferring.
Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.
