RED CARPET CHIC: Drew Barrymore, Angela Simmons and Olivia Palermo.Posted: August 19, 2010 Filed under: Angela Simmons, Drew Barrymore, Fashion, Olivia Palermo, Red Carpet Leave a comment
INTERVIEW: JEWELRY DESIGNER SUE TSAIPosted: March 9, 2010 Filed under: Accessories, Angela Simmons, Designers, Fashion, Inspiration, Interview, Jewelry, Sue Tsai, Vanessa Simmons 4 Comments
One doesn't expect too much from a young entrepreneur who has a pocket full of aspirations, determination and drive but jewelry designer Sue Tsai is about to give us a definite reality check. I'm always inspired by any woman who can sing every word of " Independent Woman" like it was a personal letter from them to Destiny's Child. I embrace everything in the name of talent and enthusiasm this is why its a pleasure to feature Jewelry Designer Sue Tsai on The Chic Report. Not only does MTV reality stars and footwear designers Vanessa and Angela Simmons love wearing her jewelry (check TEENVOGUE March 2010 issue "Style Blogger"pg 80), she's sponsors events (including Vanessa Simmons birthday party) and has been selected to participate in the Emmy gift bagging suite. Congrats! Tsai has combined her love for fashion and a handfull of tremendous talent to create an exceedingly fabulous line and will soon release an exclusive high end collection "Signature" by Sue Tsai. Her jewelry line offers pieces in a wide selection of flirty accessories everything from bands, bows, beads and crystals adds edge and exudes girlish elegance. As determined and talented as she is, Sue Tsai will undoubtedly continue flourishing in her spotlight not only as a designer but as inspiration for the up and coming young professionals. Read her interview with The Chic Report below…
These are the black bands in which first started Sue Tsai Designs and became widely popular. They come in almost every color and combination and people mix and match them to create a set of bangles. They are 14k gold filled with swarovski crystal, gold beads & charms, and have a rubber tubing over memory wire. They are flexible.
This is a set called Bamboo Vermeil Bangles.
These are large crystal beaded bracelets that tie together with an oversized bow that come in 3 different color combinations.
The world will soon find out 🙂
The Chic Report: What inspired you to start your own business?
Sue Tsai: From a young age I've always been exposed to art as both of my parents are designers. Designing is something that I want to do for the rest of my life and in order to do that I have to make money doing it. I love fashion and I've always made jewelry and clothes for myself. I took the next step and want to share that with everyone else. That's why I started my line.
The Chic Report: You've worked with designers/reality stars Vanessa and Angela
Simmons, are there any other celebrities that you would like to wear
your pieces?
Sue Tsai: I really love Rihanna and Keri Hilson's style. Look out for them to be wearing the pieces soon. But I dont want only celebrities to wear my pieces, its for everybody. I wish everyone could be my personal accessory barbie and I could just decorate them from head to arm in my stuff! haha
The Chic Reporter: Did you face any hurdles while building your brand and how were you able to overcome them?
Sue Tsai: As with accomplishing anything in life, there are going to be hurdles. I feel like you don't deserve your accomplishments unless you worked hard to get there and your perseverance has been tested. Honestly, most of my hurdles have been more mental than physical. All of the finance, labor, and time hurdles I've faced are nothing to me, they're just a part of the plan. As much as I hate to say it, the worst is dealing with haters; people who cant stand to see someone else on their way to success and constantly try to bring them down. But you know what, they're not really hurdles, more like stepping stones. Gotta step on them to climb to the top. Ha
The Chic Report: True…So tell us how do you perfect your craft as a designer? For instance, did you go to school for accessory design?
Sue Tsai: I actually went to school for marketing not design. A lot of my technical skills I've picked up from my parents. I believe that design and creativity is not something that can be taught, only technicalities. I decided to study marketing because I believed that was going to be the most applicable major for my business. I had no problems designing and making the jewelry, I just had to learn how to sell it.
The Chic Report: Just by reading your tweets I see that you travel alot, what does
your working day / week look like?
Sue Tsai: I'm usually away on the weekends for trade shows. In the past 3 months I've done shows in LA, New York, Miami, Atlanta, Baltimore, Sarasota, and Philadelphia. During the week I'm in the studio making new pieces or in the office shipping out orders. I think I spend more time in the air than on the ground though. You wouldn't believe my frequent flyer mileage.
The Chic Report: Without giving away too much, what other projects are you currently working on?
Sue Tsai: I just recently finished designing a jewelry line for a popular clothing line. I can't tell you which one until it comes out, so I guess you're going to have to wait and see. Rite now, I'm working on my new high end line. These pieces are all one of a kind and less commercial. I've always been making them for individual custom orders but I want to be able to sell them while keeping them exclusive. I'm really excited about this line, its called Signature by Sue Tsai and the only person who's seen the pieces are my mom haha. I'm having the launch event early May, so be on the look out.
The Chic Report: Where do you see your business Sue Tsai Designs in the next 5 years?
Sue Tsai: I'm going to take over the world. (evil laugh)
The Chic Report: Lol, So where can interested readers find out more about your business Sue Tsai Designs?
Sue Tsai: They can check out my website http://www.SueTsaiDesigns.com or read more about me at http://www.SueTsai.com. I tweet a lot so if they want to get to know me on a more personal basis they can follow me on twitter at @SueTsai (parental discretion advised ha)
Sue Tsai: Thank you so much, I appreciate it. Hope both of us can continue to work together on our journey to the top.
Trend Alert – Combat BootsPosted: January 26, 2010 Filed under: Amber Rose, Angela Simmons, Combat Boots, Miley, Rihanna, Shoes 1 Comment
In every sphere of life a girl needs a pair of boots (or booties) that is cute, comfortable and stylish to every extent. Comprehensively, to accomplish these desires, designers have drained their creative juices on a new casual "it-boot" for the typical girl on the run aiming for the punk/rock look. So if you happen to hear the footsteps of an army creeping up behind you stay calm, please donot panic as this will serve as eye candy to the fashionistas with a special place in their heart for vintage inspired footwear. Combat boots have been the "It-Boot" for months now…We've seen Rihanna, Keri and Angela Simmons spotting this trend as well as local highend retailers ;Urban Outfitters and Steve Madden. The best thing about wearing the lace up vinatge inspired combat is that a girls choice of clothing will be versatile, I mean everything from jeans to dresses and blazers to tshirts.
What do you think about this trend? Do you own a pair of combats? How long will this "it-boot" remain hot? I wanna hear your thoughts…. Comment below

Minnie Mouse Makes A Fashionable ComebackPosted: January 13, 2010 Filed under: Angela Simmons, Chanel, June Ambrose, Rihanna, Solange 2 Comments
Solange Knowles is inspired by everything retro she has made it clear with her choice of music and also her personal style. Ofcourse the iconic Minnie will spark her interest. A few months ago Solo did an interview with blender magazine where she dressed up as minnie mouse. She pulled it off…
Designer Jeremy Scott is also channelling his inner minnie threw his mickey/minnie inspired ensemble worn by Rihanna on the set of her latest music video "Hard". She wore everything from her helmet, bullet bra and super super short cut-off shorts. We all know that Mariel Hann (Rihanna's Fashion Stylist) worked on this shoot a woman of great style so this is a definate co sign.
June Ambrose Stylist Extradinorie!
Chanel Iman graced the pages of Vogue recently with a Minnie Mouse inspired photoshoot. This is one of the best shoots I've seen featuring Chanel thus far.
Gaga joined the Minnie bandwagon when she paraded the streets with the minnie mouse bow as her hair style. We all know that Lady Gaga has no problem in taking risks a definate reminder of the legendary minnie.
Angela Simmons attended a Halloween party this past October with her Minnie-Chic naughty attire. She has everything down. Flattering dress? Check! Minnie's signature bow? Check! Bold Stockings?Check! and her pearls are too adorable.
Do you think that "Minnie-Chic" is the new black? Are you inspired by what you've seen? You to can achieve a similar look with the help of the set posted below….
Vanessa and Angela for Honey MagazinePosted: December 7, 2009 Filed under: Angela Simmons, Fashion, Honey Magazine, Relationships, Vanessa Simmons Leave a comment
A: Ok, the whole virginity thing came out because of the breakup I had previously. And on the show, of course, it came up that I was saving myself for marriage. Is it weird that people know that now? Yeah, kind of. Do I care that much? Not really, because it's not like it's a bad thing. No, it's not for everybody.
Everybody doesn't have to wait because that's not what they feel their destiny is. But this is what I have to do in order to get a relationship where it's all good. I just think that when the sex factor is taken out of the relationship, you really get to know a person. Sometimes people jump in headfirst and the person that you're with never got to know your emotional side. Is it easy? No. I mean, I'm meeting these guys and they've been doing whatever they've been doing and it's like, "Are you serious?" Yeah, I'm serious and if you like me enough then you're going to wait and you're going to respect me and hopefully you're not going to cheat because you, as a man, "need" it. I think it's a good thing. I'm showing a guy that I can wait and hold off and it's been a whole year and I haven't even done it. I think it's an eye opener to some guys.
A lot of little girls do need to know that at 15 and 14-years-old, they don't need to be doing that. It's crazy how right-now our society is. All these young girls having all these babies and it's so sad. I just think that children today are so different than when we were growing up. Honestly,I didn't kiss anybody till I was in like ninth grade. I got called a prude and I was like, "Geez, I didn't know it was that serious."
A: See that, Vanessa's laughing
V: No, I'm not laughing because mine was later.
A: Well see that, Vanessa's was later. I just thought it was, you know, normal. I thought it was normal but then you find out for some people it was first grade.
V: First grade? That doesn't count.
A: It does count! If you kissed somebody, you kissed them.
V: I mean first grade I would get excited and tell if somebody chased me.
A: At the end of the day, I don't think relationships can be 100 percent private. I can try to duck and hide and pretend I'm not dating someone but I'm a normal person and I'm doing things everyone does. If a relationship that I was in for two years doesn't work, then it ends. It's life. How many boyfriends do you really go through before you find your husband? Right now, I'm happy and fine in my relationship. I'm honest about it. I've been with him for like a year now and it's a long-distance relationship so it's really different. It's a lot of travelling and a lot of back-and-forth.

Life Data Labs, Inc.
Glossy prospects for Leo the itchy drum horse
When Leo retired from the Household Cavalry after a distinguished career as a drum horse, it seemed he could look forward to a life in clover at The Horse Trust's Home of Rest for Horses in Berkshire, UK. But the 17.2hh (178cm) piebald shire gelding had developed very dry skin. In fact, he scratched so much that he rubbed off nearly all his mane.
Staff at the home, which provides lifetime sanctuary for more than 100 retired horses, ponies and donkeys, treated 27 year old Leo, with anti-itching injections, but his coat was still very dull. Adding Farrier's Formula, a supplement designed to strengthen the hoof, improve the coat and ensure healthy connective tissue, to his feed soon put the gloss back on Leo.
"We're really delighted by Leo's progress," says Karen Zetsche, Life Data Labs' European Sales Representative. Life Data Labs, Inc. has been manufacturing Farrier's Formula since 1979. "The Horse Trust does so much to help horses, not just those at the Home of Rest. It's the largest provider of equine welfare and horse research grants in the UK, and so it's a privilege for us to be able to help a little in return."
Set among the rolling Chiltern Hills, The Horse Trust is the oldest horse charity in the world, originally established in 1886 to help the working horses of London. Today the trust is dedicated to the welfare of the horse worldwide, to scientific research, to the education of horse owners, riders and trainers and to the continuing care of the horses at its sanctuary.
The trust depends on donations to fund its work and also relies on volunteers to help out in its offices, particularly in the busy pre-Christmas period.
As a result of the credit crunch, the trust is more in need of donations than ever. Reduced income has forced a suspension of its grant programme, meaning that urgent research cannot be funded.
Information about donations and volunteering can be found on The Horse Trust's website: www.homeofrestforhorses.co.uk
Farrier's Formula was created 30 years ago by Dr Frank Gravlee, founder of Alabama-based Life Data Labs, to promote healthy dermal tissue in horses. He tested blood collected from hundreds of horses to determine which nutrients were lacking in horses with poor-quality hooves.
The supplement has been the number one recommended product by US farriers for 12 consecutive years.

|Micaela's district with the hermana leaders
¡Hola! ¿Qué tal? ¡Espero que hayan tenido una buena semana!
[Hello! How are you? I hope you had a good week!]
Bueno, this week was a LOT better! Woohoo!
Bueno. So, investigators.
Mayra y Sebastian. They weren´t there for our appointment! And they´re only at home one day a week. We´re gonna try and contact them this week.
Noelia wasn´t home either. We went to San Marcos early so that we could talk to her, and then she wasn´t there. And we can only go to San Marcos once a week...
Now you´re probably wondering why I said this week was "a LOT better." Well, I´ll tell you. :)
On Tuesday we had exchanges with the hermana leaders. They´re great! They helped us to find some new investigators and to help us with our attitudes. I went on exchanges with Hermana Woolley. We were at one point searching for a former investigator and found her grandmother. We talked with her and she said that we could come back another day. We said we´d love to and as we were leaving Hermana Woolley asked her if she knew anyone close by that we could teach. She told us that there was a family around the corner so we went. There lived a family PF (family where not all of them are members)! We talked to the mom (member) and she told us about her daughter that likes to go to church. Turns out that I know her daughter but I didn´t know that she wasn´t a member. Two days later I went with Hermana Jaramillo to teach the daughter. Her name is Ludmila and she´s 10 years old. She already know so much! We put a baptismal date with her and she accepted! She´s going to be baptized on November 7!
|Gaston, Ludmila and Micaela
My companion also found a family in the exchange that I am excited to meet and teach!
I was also able to talk to the hermana leaders about what was going on in the area and how I was feeling. They helped me to realize that the blessings always come. But when we are desperate they come a little quicker. Just like Joseph Smith when he was desperate for an answer, he went to a grove and prayed. I remember when I too was desperate for an answer. And indeed my answer came. We also talked about one´s attitude. One of the hermanas told me that she was studying about how we can best show God that we are grateful for all that He has given us. She said that the best answer she found was to be happy. So being grateful makes one happy and being happy helps one to be grateful. And by so doing, God is happy.
Really. Our attitude changed completely and we were blessed with miracles!
I testify that the Lord answers prayers. That when we are desperate enough to humble ourselves before Him, He will answer our prayers more greatly than we could imagine. I testify of the importance of gratitude and your attitude. Most importantly, the attitude of gratitude. I know that when we are grateful, the Lord is pleased and He blesses us even more abundantly.
I hope you all have a fantastic week! I love you all so much! Don´t forget that the Lord is on your side and that he always hears your prayers!!!
Love from,
Hermana Micaela Wilson

I can't remember if I whined yet or not. If I have, sorry. Here goes again 🙂
I've been congested for oh, I dunno, six weeks? I blame it on the smoggy icky air in the valley, why not? Isn't the root of all angst Yakima? Okay. Not really. I love my lil' town, yes I do. But the air is crappy and thus… It couldn't possibly be the dog we brought home five weeks ago. I've done the math. 🙂
So a few days ago I woke up and OMG it was like NOTHING but NOTHING was gonna let me breathe. I was using the Vicks vapor nose gadget, sudafed, mucinex, theraflu, claritin, ocean…you name it, if it claimed any sort of sinus relief I was popping it. Sadly, I think all that I acquired was a bit of a head cold hangover. Ergh. So I head off to the doctor to be set straight.
And boy did they set me straight. New allergy medicine (Singulair – okay – I officially love IT! Amazing stuff…like they need me promoting their stuff – I'm like a spam comment…yikes!) and an antibiotic. HOLYFREAKINPOTATOES. $434. Okay, that's like almost a new computer…almost an LCD TV (drool)…almost…almost FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS.
If ever there was a time to move to Canada….
Tomorrow we are having a sale to celebrate Lil' Miss Eva's 40th birthday! I'll have a new kit or two and we'll have some freebies as well 🙂

Ann Beattie`s latest collection of 15 charming short stories, Where You`ll Find Me, offers a series of brief glimpses into the emotional lives of people whose past haunts them in ways they cannot fathom. While these mood pieces could be criticized for being insubstantial, their evanescence is a key element in Beattie`s aesthetic.
Beattie`s literary debut was Chilly Scenes of Winter, a popular and remarkably well-crafted novel. It was followed by Falling in Place and, most recently, the satirical Love Always. In addition, Beattie has published three other volumes of stories, Distortions, Secrets and Surprises and The Burning House. While she has published her stories widely, Beattie became known during the `70s as a New Yorker writer -- an identification that indicates the strengths and weaknesses of her writing.
Beattie`s strength lies in her style. Using simple language, she can evoke not only the visual details of a scene, but its emotional nuance. In ``Where Can I See You Again,`` Martha walks through an airport:
``Outside the baggage area, a woman in a red nylon ESPN jacket, jeans and patent-leather spike heels threw open her jacket and pulled a young Marine inside. She began kissing him passionately. The Marine carried a duffel bag. He was wearing earphones.``
And her ear for conversation is acute. In ``Coney Island,`` Chester and Drew have a drunken conversation that has all the loops, omissions, repetitions, and free associations that characterize real, as opposed to literary, speech.
Beattie`s weakness is the monotony of her themes and the small group featured as characters. Virtually all her characters are white, mid-30s, educated and occupy some rung -- albeit sometimes a broken one -- of the career ladder. In short, her characters are the same ones who subscribe to The New Yorker.
And inevitably, these characters suffer some sense of loss or emptiness owing to a problem in their love life. Either they can`t connect with their current lover, or if they have a good current relationship, a previous romantic situation come back to haunt them in a small, ineffable way.

That depends...are we talking AFTER publishing an awesome post...or AFTER publishing over 150 comments. I think the pictures speak for themselves:
· In +/- 20 words, who does Alex remind you of?
Those pictures and captions are a hoot. Can't wait to read his reaction! (Especially the post-comment one.)
These stories are cracking me up.
OMG this cracked me up! And yes, I can totally picture you ninja kicking the air! xD
Love those pink pants!
A hamster! That's got to be the best use of Cosbolt yet. :D
You're right, great minds DO think alike. Van Halen baby!!!
The pic of that weirdo with the Vodka cracked me up.
I love cats and to me that gift didn't sound too great. I enjoyed your post and that flash fiction has to be the craziest one I've written so far. Great how you inserted yourself instead of Alex as the star. Oh and with your documentary pick I have to wonder if someone's having a man crush over our famous blogger. Hmmm Tammy?
The real question remains, can Alex jump up in a half herky like that while holding his guitar?
Too many things I'm laughing at here, I'm not sure what to mention first...
I'll stick with: LOL! Tammy, you're hilarious.
Best one I've read so far!
Tina @ Life is Good
Cute kittens and a hamster named Cosbolt - great! Well done.
Bravo Tammy! Original all the way...
Oh, Tammy. You do make me laugh!
Love it!!! The before & after pics are hilarious! :)
That is hilarious! No one else has named their hamster Cosbolt. You might've started a trend.
Jason Statham - nice, I accept that.
And I try to keep the after publishing look at all times...
Tammy, thank you SO much! This is really awesome.
Cat Lady Starter Kit! What a terrific idea. Tammy, I like your thinking!
Fun-nee! I really enjoyed your story...and the Wayne's World vignette!
Alex in spandex? Bwahahahahaha. Okay, maybe he could still do the Eddie Van Halen kick splits. Maybe. He does rock after all. :)
Okay, I'm picturing the hamster in the wheel. And I LOVE the crazy cat lady starter kit- can I get one too! I think I'm already on the way :)
Excellent post! Loved the before and after contrast. And please, if we can't have a picture of Alex, at least give us one of Fire Marshall Hamster!
All of you guys crack me up!!
lol, I'm laughing so hard. You're a hoot! Love the cats :)
My hamsters never saved my life. Cosbolt is quite the hero! I love the "ninja kick yo' face!" Very funny. :)
This is really hilarious :D
"YouTube awesome" kicks ..lol
The pic of after commenting would definitely be me after visiting 150 blogs.
I love those pictures, and your flash fiction was great! Also love the crazy cat lady starter kit, hilarious!
There's an award for you on my blog :)
LOL! This is great!
Bwahaha. This had to the most hilarious entry.
Tammy, you're awesomely twisted and I just LOVE it!!
The guy on the left . . . *wheeze* *wheeze* I may be married but I'm not dead.
Thanks for the great post on your blog, it really
gives me an insight on this topic.

Should You Sell Your Structured Settlement?
If you have received a structured settlement through a personal injury claim, you may be tempted to sell your annuity to a company in exchange for a lump sum. This is a very big decision that should not be taken lightly. Here is a list of some pros and cons of selling a structured settlement for you to decide what is best for your situation.
Pro: You Need Cash Now
If you are in a dire situation such as extreme debt, cashing in your structured settlement might be the best option for you. However, keep in mind that you will no longer have this monthly income, so you may find it harder to make ends meet each month depending on how much you receive. Bottomline, if you really need a chunk of cash, and you do not have anywhere else to get it, selling your structured settlement is not a bad idea. Remember that there are many competing companies that want to buy your structured settlement, so do not accept the first offer thrown at you. Make sure to shop around and accept the highest bid.
Pro: To Make a Profit
Some people believe that instead of putting monthly payments of a structured settlement into a savings account or spending it on unnecessary things, it would be better and smarter to invest it. For this reason, many people decide to cash in their structured settlements for a lump sum to invest. If you have a knack for investing or a trusted money manager, you may make more money in the long run if you sell your structured settlement to put towards investments. Keep in mind that there is also a way to invest or save for retirement with monthly payments (such as a Roth IRA).
Con: Income Taxes
One of the biggest reasons financial advisors advise their clients to keep receiving monthly payments instead of selling for a lump sum has to do with taxes. Structured settlement payments are generally not income-taxable. However, if you decide to cash your structured settlement in to receive a lump sum, it will be heavily taxed, and you will receive much less than if you wouldn't have sold out.
Con: Money Management
If you are a self proclaimed money spender versus a money saver, selling your structured settlement is probably not a good idea. If you have a big hunk of cash sitting in your bank account, you will be much more likely to splurge on a new sports car you do not need, if you catch my drift. It can be very tempting to spend when you see a bunch of zeros on your bank statement, and for this reason, selling your structured settlement should be avoided unless it is completely necessary.
Con: Time
If you plan on selling your structured settlement to pay for a necessary expense, make sure to plan ahead. The process of selling your structured settlement can be very lengthy–it can take 6 to 8 months to finally see the cash in the bank. You will want to have enough time to shop around to find the best possible offer.
Con: Structured Settlement Companies
Though not all structured settlement buying companies are bad, you must remember that they are a business that needs to make a profit. These companies have to make money too, so there is no way that you will receive as much through selling than if you would have continued to receive monthly payments. Keep this in mind.

Update | 5:01 p.m.
The White House and the Congressional Budget Office today released dueling estimates of the long-term federal budget outlook. The bottom line: Both offices' estimates got worse, but the White House numbers still appear a little bit rosier than those of the nonpartisan budget office.
The White House revised its projections to show a 10-year cumulative deficit of $9 trillion — up from $7.1 trillion, the estimate the White House's Office of Management and Budget had released in May.
These numbers are based on the president's desired policy proposals, rather than current law. They found the deficit over the next decade even worse than previously expected primarily because the administration had been much too optimistic about the state of the economy before. Now officials expect lower tax revenues as Americans' incomes shrink. Government spending will also be higher than previously expected because Americans will need more in government services like Medicaid, unemployment benefits and food stamps.
The Congressional Budget Office also revised its projections to show a bigger deficit over the next 10 years than previously expected, at least if you try to make an apples-to-apples comparison.
By law, the Congressional Budget Office has to make its budget projections based on current law. For this reason the headline numbers used by the office assume that laws currently on the books will continue — such as the imminent expiration of the Bush tax cuts — even though the assumptions are unlikely to be borne out by reality. Based on current-law assumptions, the deficit looks a little less scary, at $7.1 trillion over the next 10 years.
But if you try to factor in some of the policy changes that are expected, you'll get a different picture. Len Burman, at the Maxwell School at Syracuse, estimates that the Congressional Budget Office model shows a 10-year deficit of $9 trillion to $10 trillion under the president's budget.
He produced this number by looking at tables 1-7 and S-2 of the administration's report. This table estimates what would happen if several proposals that President Obama has supported, and that would have a major impact on the government's bottom line, were enacted (e.g., extending most of the Bush-era tax cuts in some form and indexing the A.M.T. for inflation).
The numbers from the Congressional Budget office for the budget including these alternative proposals, which mimic the president's budget, are higher than those the office had previously (and more officially) produced for the president's budget. Why? For a few reasons, but primarily (1) some recent policy changes, like supplemental appropriations to finance the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and (2) the deterioration of the economy. The office has "raised its forecast of the unemployment rate significantly for the next few years," for example.
Even with all these tweaks and changes, Mr. Burman says not to put too much stock in any one budget estimate.
"Projections going forward 10 years are notoriously difficult to make," he says. "The one thing we can infer from both estimates is that the budget situation is really, really bad over the next 10 years, and will probably get worse unless we do something to control health care costs."

The mission of our company is to build products and services to help system administrators reach 100% uptime for their networks. We all know that it becomes harder and harder to reach 100% the closer you come to your goal, it's like trying to reach the speed of light.
One of the limitations that system administrators can't do much about is the reliability (or failure rate) of the electrical power grids they have to rely on. In a data center it is pretty easy to get around this problem by installing uninterruptible power supplies (ups): using a generator you can run a data center off-the-grid for days.
But what about the on-site networks that you serve with that data-center, the people in the offices and factory buildings. Your ups won't help. When the power grid fails, your computer-using colleagues will twiddle their thumbs until power is coming back again.

From toothache to the weight loss, to treating the scurvy, to easing up the stomach ailments, to rejuvenating your mind, to tapering down the cold and cough and to combating with the dengue fever, the guava is like a one-stop-shop for solving your health problems and maintaining your physical and mental well-being.
So, supple your body, hair and skin with the supplemental nutrients of the guava which you can only get by eating, drinking or even applying it. Hence, consume the guava in which form you love to, the choice is yours!!!

A POLICE constable who made history by becoming the 8,000th officer in Greater Manchester Police has admitted making a false insurance claim and has resigned from the force.
Former model and air stewardess Laura Nagulapalli was photographed alongside chief constable Michael Todd at a ceremony to mark the new intake of officers that took force numbers to record levels.
Her appointment in January last year marked the end of a much-publicised campaign to recruit 900 extra officers in Greater Manchester, called Project 8,000.
But Nagulapalli, a mother of one who was based in the Wigan division, was arrested by officers in Lancashire six months later in July, 2004.
At Preston Crown Court yesterday, the 38-year-old from Heath Charnock, near Chorley, pleaded guilty to two insurance deception charges. It is understood she claimed money from a mortgage insurance company saying she was unemployed when she was not.
The offences occurred before Nagulapalli joined Greater Manchester Police.
Nicholas Courtney, prosecuting, said the first charge concerned obtaining a money transfer worth £1,372.71 by deception between February, 2003 and June, 2003 by falsely claiming that she was in receipt of benefit from September, 2002 until June, 2003.
The second was an attempt between February, 2003 and June, 2003 to obtain £1,372.71 from insurance company Payment Shield Insurance with intent to permanently deprive the company by deception, by claiming she was in receipt of benefit from October, 2002, until August, 2003.
Mr Courtney said she resigned from the police on June 30.
Malaysia-born Nagulapalli was named as the 8,000th officer while a probationer at the force training school in Sedgley Park, Prestwich.
She had previously lived in Australia, Mauritius, the Middle East and the Far East and had worked as a model and a sales manager for an internet company.
She moved to England at the age of five and came to Manchester as an 18-year-old before moving overseas. Emma Eden, defending, said Nagulapalli was a woman of previous good character and this was a "first time" offence.
Judge Edward Slinger adjourned the case until September for reports. He told her: "You have pleaded guilty to serious matters. All sentencing options remain open, including the possibility of an immediate custodial sentence."

Day 12
My Little Mermaids on the road
Since the beginning of our trip, we had (unintentionally) avoided the big cities, and we even haven't felt like we missed something! 🙂 The change of scenery is total! But today it was time for our family to return to civilization. And we knew the girls were really looking forward to today… We would finally "meet" the little mermaid! THE REAL ONE! Excitement was at its peak.
After awakening anew in paradise (see picture on awakening), we left for Copenhagen. We crossed the famous bridge that connects Sweden with Denmark. The Øresundsbron is a bridge, a border, a highway, a railroad, and even a tunnel on the Danish side. It marks the boundary between the Baltic Sea and Kattegat. And if you've ever heard of this bridge it's probably thanks to the "Broen" series (The Bridge).
The Little Mermaid
Copenhagen is a very modern city (there is a lot of new construction and architectural feats) with a perfectly protected heritage. We crossed the city for the first time by rolling up to the park next to the site of the little mermaid.
I had warned the girls that, like the Mona Lisa, people are sometimes disappointed to see the little mermaid in reality, because they imagine it bigger than it is. In fact, it is simply real size.
Arriving at the site, the girls kept asking:"How much further to the little mermaid?" and when we finally answered "Here we are", they found themselves looking around for some time before finding it… Yet the gathering of tourists around left no doubt as to the direction we needed to look.
There she is standing on her rock, her soul in pain, her eyes lost, her back to the sea. Yes, because in fact in the original story she is abandoned by the prince who goes on to marry another princess, thinking she is the one who saved him from a shipwreck. With her love for the Prince never to be repaid, her choices were to murder the Prince or die herself – returning to the sea and dissipating into foam. As dawn (and the end of the spell) arrived, the Little Mermaid, beside herself over the decision to kill her love or die herself, chose the latter, jumping into the sea to die… We are far from history according to Disney, but she has a touch of romanticism and an incredibly deep melancholy. That is the beauty of this young girl, and it's what makes her so fascinating.
City tour:
Our visit was followed by a short walk into Copenhagen, first through the royal quarter, where we met the royal guards (perhaps not as stoic as the English royal guards). Then we headed to the "postcard" district of "Indre By" for a boat trip.
This tour-by-boat allowed us to get a quick feel for our surroundings. Copenhagen is a city that has found the perfect balance between the old and new – guarding those precious pieces of history while maintaining the flair of a modern Danish city.The now unused docks have been converted into accommodations with direct access to the sea.The warehouses have become hotels, lodgings, and offices. A whole area of the old port is entirely dedicated to street food. The old and the very modern cohabitate in perfect harmony. There is a feeling of freedom and lightness in this town, while maintaining a Danish allure.
A singular neighborhood:
With the boat we crossed the district of Christianshavn, which is beyond the inlet that crosses the city, in front of the center. It is at the same time one of the oldest and most modern districts of Copenhagen. This district was once a kind of no-man's land.
The island has always had a special status as a freelancer in Copenhagen. It was the fortified stronghold, in front of the post, which protected the city from its aggressors and the bad weather. When maritime and naval activities became more scarce, the neighborhood turned in to the poorest in Copenhagen between the 19th and 20th centuries. A community of hippies settled in some abandoned military buildings in the 70's, establishing a kind of autonomous mini nation, self-proclaimed, within Copenhagen.
Even today, its 850 residents struggle to preserve their autonomy, and although the Danish authorities regularly seek to drive them away, the community has survived and even has a unique right in the territory of exploitation and trade of Cannabis. The birth of this district has given rise to an awakening in the city of Copenhagen which has in turn led to a revitalization of Christianshavn, which is now a chic and trendy district, epicenter of contemporary Copenhagen culture.
Copenhagen also has a singular peculiarity, at least in my eyes. From this city emerges an esoteric atmosphere. In all the streets there are magic symbols. Viking mythology is still alive and well. Trolls are seen alternately on churches, basilicas hung on buildings, phoenix as ramps for access. In short, I Loved Copenhagen. it was really a good idea to keep this city for the end. We will probably go back to visit the city more thoroughly.
The day ended at Stevns Camping in Strøby. A very family camping, with a freely accessible mini farm for the children – A pure happiness … Until Josephine came back to the camper van crying. She wanted to feed the goats and had gathered a large handful of nettle in her hand … Nothing serious but a hugely emotional for her. Fortunately, it is nothing a bit of Duct Tape can't solve! 😀 Place the hands 20 min in water, stick the tape on, and hop! The thorns magically disappear. And now, go to sleep my little mermaid.
Day 13
Back to 21st century
Today, we took the ferry back to Germany. The end of the holiday is approaching … We had planned since the beginning to stop in Hamburg on our way back. So we set our sights on getting into the city today.
From Strøby, we went as far as Gedser. The closer we got to Germany, the more the rain began to fall again. We left the rain at the Danish border on the way and we found it at the German border on the way back.
The crossing to Rostock was very short (less than 2 hours) just enough time to embark, eat in the boat and return to the camping car to land. Then we drove to Hamburg.
Long-lost friend:
It was really great to see my friend after 17 years!
We had left our home town at the same time, to live our lives. Our paths have been rather different, and yet, today, our lives are very similar. We are both expatriates, coupled with 2 children – they have a boy and a girl, but they are about the same age as our children. She works in internet communication like me, and her husband is a man as reserved as mine.
Hamburg was still in turmoil after the G20, which resulted in riots close to home. They were never directly affected, but we could see the effects of this difficult episode. A lot of graffiti in the streets, areas ransacked by protesters, closed by barriers.
That did not stop us from spending a delightful evening together… We talked a lot and the children played together all evening. They enjoyed it so much that when it was time to separate, it was very difficult … Josephine and my friend's son fell in a deep friendship and it was heart-rending to see them say "goodbye".
We got back into the Camping van, which had been parked on the street, and decided not to open the roof (where the girl's bed is) for more security. So we slept (restlessly) together. The girls are starting to get big, so 4 of us in a small bed was not easy. But we made it work! 🙂

3rd Apr 2013 - New Zealand 3
West Coast - Punakaiki and Tauranga Bay
Woke up to the predicted wet and windy day - lots of rain but this is the West Coast. headed out armed with umbrellas and rain jackets. Changed the itinerary slightly and headed south of Westport rather than north. The hope being that the rain would blow over for our walks tomorrow. I shant go on about the rain but just to say it stayed steady and consistent until mid afternoon.
Headed out south with the first goal being to drive to Punakaiki - Pancake Rocks. Several photo stops along the way and great for M to see a different type of NZ beauty - still stunning in the rain and wind - somewhat otherworldly at time. Surely one of the loveliest drives along coastal New Zealand. Stopped off at Charleston beach along the way - will come back here one day for a few days - fantastic swimming beach and just lovely and a camping ground - think this is the one that my mother's good friend's son owns or still owns.
Had lunch at The Punakaiki Tavern and very good it was too. Lovely setting inside - the most beautiful handmade rimu tables and chairs - I want them. Then a very short drive to Pancake Rocks.
The Pancake Rocks are limestone formations which have been millions of the year in the making - fragments of dead marine creature which then layer into the mud and clay and then raised by the action of earthquakes to form the coastal cliffs of today. The sea, wind and rain have then taken over to make what can be seen today. It is a lovely walk for up to 60 minutes depending on how much you stop and take photos - its free. Through native bush to start with - the kind I dream of and miss so much - then into the spectacular views of sky and sea and cliffs and magical rock formations. Everyone the same but different - so many photos and lots to look at. There is a right time to visit - high tide I think - to see the blowholes work their wonders. We were there either slightly too early or late as although we saw the blowholes in action they weren't as spectacular as I remember when I was a child.
Decided to forgo other walks in the area and headed back north to the Seal colony at Tauranga Bay. We were very fortunate that the clouds parted and a bit of sun and no rain whilst here. A 10-15 minute walk to the main lookout to see kekeno - NZ pointy nosed fur seals. They were basking in the autumn sun and having a wonderful time. Quite different scenery and behind us the rolling countryside of the West Coast so green compared with the dramatic greys and blues of the cliffs and ocean. Walked further along the path until we had enough and turned back. you can keep going and do what is called the Cape Foulwind walkway - one day... Back to the car with M fascinated by the wekas (birds) that are everywhere - so curious.
Headed back to Westport with a tikitour along the way via Carters Beach. Decided to save a bit of money and go to the supermarket rather than out for dinner - 2 lamb chops, potato salad and lettuce/tomatoes cost the same as going out cheaply. I nearly died at the cost of the medium pottle of potato salad - $9. However by this time I wasn't going to change my mind as M and I were at that tired delicate stage - in a supermarket on holiday neither of us knowing what we wanted to eat - get what you want, no get what you want and so on.
Bit of telly and then an early night hoping for the clear skies to continue for our big day tomorrow.

We wouldn't quite go so far as to say that zoning systems have become "all the rage" in the St. Louis area. But it wouldn't really be wrong to say so, either. Zoning has become a big part of many of our patron's energy-efficient lifestyles as of late. But why is zoning becoming so popular? If you're unfamiliar with the benefits, you might be wondering just that.
The specialists at Jerry Kelly have a lot of experience in handling, installing and maintaining zoning systems. We've been bringing our consumers the absolute best in service, skill and products for years, and we would love to add you to our list of satisfied patrons!
Considering zoning in St. Louis County for your home or business? Contact our team at Jerry Kelly today online!
What is zoning?
Zoning basically boils down to greater control for your HVAC system. Traditional systems essentially run at all hours, and at full power to meet the needs of your entire home as a whole. Unfortunately, this "uniform comfort" approach is overall fairly wasteful. Why? Because to maintain an even temperature throughout your whole home, most heating and cooling systems actually have to work much, much harder than is necessary. This translates to very poor efficiency, costing you tons of money in excessive comfort costs.
With zoning, your system isn't limited to a single thermostat that controls the temperature of your space as a whole. Zoning takes advantage of multiple thermostats (or digital thermostat functions) installed throughout the home. This means you can control the temperature of rooms individually, heating or cooling space as needed.
In short, zoning represents much greater control of your environment. If you need cooling only upstairs; you've got it. Want to heat just your bedroom at night? Easily done with zoning!
The benefits of zoning
Better control actually translates to a slew of excellent benefits as well, including:
Is zoning the best choice for my home?
Almost indisputably yes. Each home and homeowner has unique needs, but almost everyone will benefit from zoning. When it comes down to it zoning in St. Louis will save you money, save you stress, and increase your home comfort levels.
Our experts can bring you all of the perks of zoning today! Contact Jerry Kelly to learn more about how to get a zoning system for your home, or with any questions you may have about the system.
We Are a Service Company First
We take pride in giving our Customers the Very Best!

Canadian Government Dishes Out $34M of Your Money in 2011 to George Soros Globalist Funded CIGI
Canadian Government Dishes Out $34M of Your Money in 2011 to George Soros Globalist Funded CIGI
After some digging on the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) website I found that these globalist freaks have created the 'Council of Councils' with the mission "to find common ground on shared threats, build support for innovative ideas, and inject remedies into the public debate and policymaking processes of member countries." The founding membership of the Council of Councils includes leading institutions from nineteen (19) countries, roughly tracking the composition of the Group of Twenty (G20). Representing Canada's official role as a "Founding Council of Councils Member Organization" is the Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) based in Waterloo, Ontario.
CIGI Headquarters:
57 Erb St. West, Waterloo, ON, Canada N2L 6C2
The Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) is an independent, non-partisan think tank on international governance. Led by experienced practitioners and distinguished academics, CIGI supports research, forms networks, advances policy debate and generates ideas for multilateral governance improvements. Conducting an active agenda of research, events and publications, CIGI's interdisciplinary work includes collaboration with policy, business and academic communities around the world.
Key Players:
George Soros – Gave $25 Million for a partnership between CIGI and INET
Jim Balsillie – Former co-CEO of Research in Motion, current Chairman of CIGI
Thomas Bernes – Former IMF, World Bank, OECD, Government of Canada shill boy
The Government of Canada
The Government of Ontario
The City of Waterloo
Power Corporation
The Rockefeller Foundation
Environment Canada
Industry Canada
CIGI receives annual funding from eleven (11) Canadian Government bodies. In fact, you'll notice that in 2011, CIGI received over $33.8 million in government grants as shown on their latest annual report. Under their list of expenses you will see $26,886,516 in 'Sponsorship Donations' CIGI paid out in 2011 to other organizations and companies. So, lets be clear that CIGI takes in nearly $34 Million in Canadian Government Grants for 2011 and then shares the wealth with its friends to the tune of nearly $27 Million; that is your money folks.
Considering that we as tax payers forked the bill for the $34M doesn't this seem to be a MAJOR CONFLICT OF INTEREST considering the nature of people involved, CIGIs goals, and the public/private financial relationship which extends internationally?
You'll also see over $203 million in total fund balances for 2011 which means CIGI has nearly a quarter billion in assets to shit all over Canadians with and promote global governance, geo-engineering, Agenga 21 and many other corrupted United Nations programs.
Core Programs: (Global Economy, Global Security, Environment and Energy, Global Development)
Lets take a closer look at their focus on 'Environment and Energy':
1) Geoengineering Our Climate – http://www.cigionline.org/activity/geoengineering-our-climate
2) Implementing Agenda 21 through Local Agenda 21s – http://www.cigionline.org/CRP/Agenda21
3) Sustainable Economics – http://www.cigionline.org/activity/sustainable-economics
4) United Nations Global Sustainability Panel – http://www.cigionline.org/activity/united-nations-global-sustainability-panel
If this doesn't point to direct collusion between our government and genocidal globalists through financial redistribution and funding for programs that destroy Canadian sovereignty and individual liberty than I don't know how the hell else to show people that this shit exists.

Savings Guide
The Australian environment in 2013
Year in, year out we seem to have the same discussions and make the same action plans, and yet things always seem to be getting slightly worse. People are, to be fair, more aware today than ever before of the dangers, and more and more people around Australia are trying to do their part to save energy by the use of standby power switches (such as the EcoSwitch) and other techniques to turn it off at the wall. But saving energy is only half the battle – we must also take steps to protect our environmental treasures.
It's shocking, but here we are in 2013 and Australia is still facing significant environmental challenges, and the most depressing part of that is the steadfast resistance to preservation of our natural resources, such as the iconic Great Barrier Reef, is still being actively promoted.
The dying reef
Despite an endless discussion of the threats to the Great Barrier Reef, since 1960 the Reef has lost 50% of its coral. In other words, half of this amazing natural wonder, one of the global symbols of Australia, has died off through a combination of development, oil tanker traffic, and environmental change. The Great Barrier Reef is on the verge of being declared 'in danger' by UNESCO this year. Considering how important the Reef is to both the tourism industry as well as simple national pride, it's shocking at how bad the situation is. Loss of the Reef would not only be a national embarrassment, it would be a tragic loss to the entire world.
The Council of Australian Governments
What's most amazing about this situation is that the Business Council of Australia is still fighting to reduce the effectiveness of federal oversight of projects that might be environmentally damaging. The BCA cloaks its suggestions in the spirit of State's rights, asking not that the oversight be removed, but rather that it more appropriately belongs with the State governments rather than the Federal government. Of course, what's unspoken here is that the State governments have a much bigger stake in the revenues that shipping, oil drilling, and other environmentally-damaging activities generate, and would almost certainly be less vigilant in their supervision of these projects.
That the BCA is still putting profits over the long-term environmental health of Australia is worrying. If a symbol as powerful and obvious as the Great Barrier Reef doesn't convince people that there is a problem in need of solving, then what hope do we have of saving our future? Ordinary citizens do their part with power saving products and other strategies to become more energy efficient, but their impact is blunted and perhaps reversed if these huge interests don't also do their part.
Hope for the future
All is not doom and gloom, however. There have been some encouraging signs. The Federal government deferred a decision on the devolution of these powers on hold, and the hope is that this year they will make that a permanent decision, ending fears that the BCA will have their way.
We've made some progress, too, on the climate-change front, which goes hand-in-hand with the careful management of environmentally-damaging projects. The hope is that this year will also see the establishment of a $10 billion Clean Energy Finance Corporation, which will have a direct impact on the health of the Reef as well as many other climate-related areas. We're also hoping to see a carbon tax firmly introduced, to both raise revenues for climate-related endeavours and discourage corporations from engaging in environmentally-damaging acts in the first place.
The potential for 2013
2013 has the potential to be a watershed year for Australia in terms of the environment and climate change. While fixing the environmental problems facing the world as a whole will require massive effort and cooperation from all nations, that's no reason to shrug and say nothing we do makes a difference. Millions of Australians already do their part to save power, which has a direct impact on the world at large. Now we need government to continue what it's been doing and do more – and get the corporations to do their part as well, either by compulsion or a sense of moral duty.
Either way, this is the Year of the Australian Environment – for good or for bad.

Started working here on January 2, 2008.

The number of things I've gotten to learn over the years here is amazing! This is not a job where I've been bored or stagnant. I am constantly encouraged to learn more, achieve more and be better.

Curious, dedicated, honest.
What is your favorite thing about Colorado?
The weather! I love that we have four distinct seasons, each with its own beauty.

Visiting all of the National Parks in the US. There are 60; I've been to 12.

I love to read, and read 2-5 books every month. I've been in the same book club for over 16 years.
Stay tuned for more employee spotlights!

a couple of weeks ago my friend mindy and i ran in a women's obstacle 5k run. mindy found a deal on living social and it sounded fun, so we decided to go for it. it was held at the boulder reservoir, so we headed up together and our families met up with us at the finish line. i was a little disappointed that mindy and i weren't dressed more "appropriately" as divas for the race. we didn't wear a tutu or have funky socks or blinged out tank tops, but we still had fun. although, both of us were actually disappointed in the obstacles. they were kinda lame and not quite as challenging as we were hoping or expecting. but it did add a little something extra to a 5k. maybe we should try out the tough mudder if we're really looking for challenging obstacles, eh?!
