Mick and Mairead Philpott were today found guilty of killing six of their children in a house fire in Derby as part of a botched attempt to frame his former lover.
The couple were convicted of the manslaughter of their 'babies' after a seven-week trial where Mick Philpott repeatedly sobbed in the dock, collapsing when the prosecution accused him of planning the fire that ended in tragedy.
But the jury refused to accept his excuse that someone had started the fire through his letter box, instead believing he was the mastermind of a plot that went 'horribly wrong'.
A third defendant, Philpott's friend Paul Mosley, was also found guilty of six counts of manslaughter.

As the jury delivered its verdicts in respect of 56-year-old Philpott, he stood in the dock staring straight ahead with his hands clasped in front of him.
As the court returned guilty verdicts on his wife, he shook his head and she looked down at the floor and fought back tears while clutching a tissue in both her hands.
Mosley showed no emotion as he heard the guilty verdicts.
Before leaving the dock, as the judge rose for a short break after emotional outbursts in the packed public gallery, Philpott, wearing a grey suit, white shirt and pink tie, crossed himself and was heard to say: 'It's not over yet.'
People in the public gallery erupted in tears and shouts as the verdicts came in. Members of the public hugged one another as they sobbed.

A spectator in the public gallery shouted: 'You murdering b******. You heard me. I told you didn't I.'
'No f***** listened to me from day one.' She was escorted from the courtroom.
The judge, Mrs Justice Kate Thirwall, told the court she will sentence all three defendants at 10.30am tomorrow.
After the case, Mick Philpott's sister, Dawn, said 'justice had been served'.
In a statement read on the steps of Nottingham Crown Court by Detective Constable Maria Needs, Mick Philpott's sister Dawn Bestwick, said: 'My family and I have attended court each and every day and listened objectively to all the evidence in this trial to understand what happened to our six beautiful children on May 11, 2012.
'Our presence in court was to find out the truth. Following today's verdict, we the family of Michael Philpott, believe justice has been served.'
Scorched: The charred landing reveals just how fierce the fire was when it ripped through the house
Ravaged: The petrol-fuelled blaze broke out in the hallway of the home where Philpott lived with wife Mairead, 31, and their own six children - all of whom perished as they slept
Mairead Philpott's family, the Duffy family, also issued a statement.
It said: 'On 11 May 2012 Duwayne, Jade, John, Jack, Jesse and Jayden were taken away in the cruellest way imaginable by the very people who were supposed to love and protect them.
'We, Mairead's family, cannot describe the pain we feel. Today, justice has been served and we are happy with the verdict. We would like to thank everybody involved in this case.'
Derbyshire Chief Constable Steve Cotterill said: 'This has to be one of, if not the most upsetting cases any of us has ever investigated.
'This is a shocking case for everyone involved. Six young children lost their lives needlessly in a fire and all our efforts have been focused on getting justice for those children.'
Doomed: Firefighters said the children would not have been able to survive the intense heat and thick smoke
Spread rapidly: From the moment the fire was set in the hallway, the flames would have surged up the uPVC front door, melting the plastic, and quickly progressed up the staircase, firefighters said
Samantha Shallow, of the Crown Prosecution Service, said: 'Today's verdict shows that the children died as a result of the actions of Michael and Mairead Philpott and Paul Mosley when they set the fire.
'It was started as a result of a plan between the three of them to turn family court proceedings in Mr Philpott's favour. It was a plan that went disastrously and tragically wrong.
'This has been a challenging and harrowing case to prosecute.'
As the verdicts came through, shocking images were released for the first time showing the charred and gutted interior of the property.
Fire investigators said temperatures in the upstairs bedrooms of 18 Victory Road in Allenton, Derby, would have reached more than 500C (932F) during the blaze and that anyone in those rooms did not stand a chance of survival.

Thick, black smoke would have quickly filled each of the rooms from floor to ceiling, rendering Jade Philpott, 10, and her brothers Duwayne, 13, John, nine, Jack, eight, Jesse, six, and Jayden, five, unconscious in minutes.
From the moment the fire was set in the hallway in the early hours of May 11, the flames would have surged up the uPVC front door, melting the plastic, and quickly progressed up the staircase with the help of varnished wood panelling.
All the upstairs doors were open during the blaze, allowing the smoke to quickly flood the three bedrooms in which the youngsters slept.
Soon after the fire, Mick and Mairead Philpott made a tearful appeal on national television for information, but it was all a ruse to try to cover their tracks.
Evidence at the trial and an extraordinary dossier of secret recordings gathered by police publicly released today revealed they were heard asking 'if they were sticking to their story.'
In one recording, the father-of-17 tells his wife: 'It's my fault that half the family's gone. I should have seen it all coming, duck.'
And in another recording, he tells Mairead in a police van: 'My brief said that for the judge to do what he's doing, he's got to have some big balls because there's no evidence - they've got nothing.'
The blaze was part of a 'plan' Philpott had to frame his former mistress Lisa Willis, 29, who had left the family home three months earlier, the court heard.
She and her five children, four of whom were fathered by Philpott, had lived with the Philpotts and their six children for 10 years before they left in February last year.
The fire happened at around 3.45am on May 11, just hours before Philpott, who was father to a total of 17 children by five different women, and Miss Willis were due to appear at a pre-scheduled court hearing to discuss residency of their children.
The court date was postponed following the fire.
The Philpott family hit the national headlines because Mick Philpott
demanded a larger house for him to share with his wife Mairead, Lisa
Willis, and their children.
Philpott said his council house in
Allenton, Derby, was too cramped to accommodate his clan and he wanted
the city council to rehouse them.
'They always come up with the same excuses,' he told the Derby Telegraph.
'They're just not good enough. I love my country, but at the moment I
feel ashamed of it. I think the country is going down the pan.'
In the same year Mick Philpott
appeared on The Jeremy Kyle Show in which he revealed he was prepared to
divorce his wife, marry Miss Willis, then divorce her simply so that
she would not feel left out because she did not share the Philpott
family name.
Philpott appears in a documentary,
Ann Widdecombe Versus The Benefit Culture, in which the outspoken MP
spent a week living with the family. The programme led to him being
dubbed "Shameless Mick" for his benefit claims and refusal to get a job.
Lisa Willis moves out of the Philpott home in 18 Victory Road,

Philpott, with her.

During the trial, prosecutor Richard
Latham QC said Philpott 'just wanted a house full of kids and the
benefit money that brings' and tried to set up his former lover Lisa
Wills in a bid to win custody of their children.
Dave Coss, watch manager at Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service, was part of the team that investigated the fire.
Speaking at Derby Kingsway fire station, Mr Coss said the children 'didn't stand a chance'.
The petrol-fuelled blaze broke out in the hallway of the home where Philpott lived with wife Mairead, 31, and their own six children – all of whom perished as they slept.
Philpott had six children with Mairead, 31, and four with girlfriend Ms Willis, 29, as well as seven others from three previous relationships.

'Upsetting and shocking case:' Assistant Chief Constable Steve Cotterill (centre) of Derbyshire Police issues a statement outside Nottingham Crown Court after the verdicts
The court heard that until three months before the blaze last May, 'highly controlling' Philpott shared his cramped three-bedroom semi-detached home with his wife, mistress and all 11 children he had with both women.
The court heard that in the days after the fire, Mosley visited the couple while they were being housed in a hotel by police.
The room had been bugged by police and Philpott watched as his wife performed a sex act on Mosley. Afterwards he praised his wife, acknowledging that she did not want to perform the act.
Mr Latham told the jury they 'may conclude' the sexual favour was carried out to keep Mosley 'onside'.
No hope: Thick, black smoke would have quickly filled each of the rooms from floor to ceiling, rendering the six children (clockwise from top left) - Duwayne, 13, Jade, 10, John, nine, Jessie, six, Jayden, five, and Jack, eight - unconscious in minutes

The court heard Philpott controlled all aspects of the family finances, with all benefit money paid towards the children's upkeep along with the two women's meagre part-time income paid straight into his account – the same arrangement he had instigated with both his first wife and another woman he then left her for.
Mr Latham said it was only after Miss Willis left and was rehoused by the local authority that she discovered she had been entitled to more than £1,000 a month in benefits to help look after the children.
As a harrowing 999 call made by the Philpotts from the garden of their Derby home was played to the court, Philpott shouted 'I can't listen to it' and attempted to leave the dock, but was subdued by security staff.
Towards the end of the call, his wife, who dabbed tears from her eyes in the dock, could be heard wailing uncontrollably in the background of the call.
The court heard that after tiring of Philpott's 'domineering' behaviour, Miss Willis decided to leave him.

Exactly three months before the
blaze, she walked out without warning, taking the children first to her
sister's home, then into a women's refuge before she was eventually
rehoused by the local authority.
The couple became involved in a bitter row over the residency of the children, with Philpott telling friends Miss Willis had made threats against his home and children, something he would 'use in court to get his children back'.
Mr Latham said Philpott was deeply troubled by her leaving, to the point that he had become depressed and even tried to take his own life.
He steadily became 'obsessed with getting Lisa and the kids back' and part of his distress was because of the simple fact that Miss Willis had left him.
The court heard how neighbours tried to rescue the children from the burning house but were beaten back by the smoke and flames.

When the bodies of the children were carried out of the house by police, Philpott ran forward and had to be restrained, Mr Latham said.
'It must have been quite clear the plan had gone horribly wrong.'
Philpott was heard telling people Miss Willis threatened to kill them or to set fire to the house.
'She was being set up as the culprit,' Mr Latham said.
Philpott told neighbours the children were in the back bedroom of the house.
'Is this where they were expected to be as part of the plan to rescue them?,' Mr Latham said.

told police he was playing snooker with Mosley before the fire broke
He said Mosley left before 2am and Michael and Mairead fell asleep watching a film, but they were woken by a smoke alarm and he discovered a large fire in the hall.
He called 999 and handed the phone to his wife before climbing a ladder in the back garden and smashing a hole in the back window. He said the black smoke beat him back.
Police reported his behaviour following the fire as 'unusual', the court heard.
One constable said Philpott showed 'no emotion' and acted as if at a social event.
At the hospital, onlookers described him as looking 'spotlessly clean' for someone who had been in a house fire, Mr Latham said.
Mick Philpott claimed during the trial that traces of petrol were found on him only because he had not bathed for three months.
Philpott made the admission on his second day of giving evidence at court and argued that it explained why traces of petrol were found on him after the fire.
The petrol had been there for several weeks from another incident, he insisted.
In the wake of the tragedy, one local, Bobby Sutherland, was inspired to set up a charity to help pay for the children's funerals, who he said Philpott loved desperately.
Fighting back tears as he stood in the street outside the fire-ravaged family home, Mr Sutherland said at the time: 'Yeah they can slag him off, but he loved his kids.
'Who doesn't make a mistake?
'Yeah you make mistakes but you don't deserve that. Nobody deserves that. You know what I mean?'
Weeks after the blaze the parents were charged, shocking the nation along with members of the community who had seen Philpott as a loving family man.
Local feeling turned to anger and upset - a disgruntled group even stood outside court ahead of the couple's first appearance and hurled abuse as prison vans drove them in.
But the community of Allenton pressed ahead with raising money to ensure the children were buried with dignity.
Hundreds of mourners attended the service at St Mary's Church in Derby six weeks after the blaze.

- This means you must ask for it

Greetings dear ones. I am Kryon of magnetical service. My partner steps aside. Channeling is this way. It always uses the human being to speak. The human beings intellect, the knowledge, the culture and this is the vehicle that the messages are delivered through. It is honoring of humanity. It's honoring the god inside and it's not unusual. Channeling is very old. It has had many names. Even those who write down profound things that would later become scripture were channeling. And so look upon these things as normal. And now that this very process is in you as well.
Let us speak of something. I want you to examine for a moment the reality of this message What is the reality? Are you just attending a meeting? Listening to a man in a chair, or is there something else here? Is it possible that there is something personal? I want to tell you there is. You have free choice to discover it.
You just heard the story of Michael Thomas and the 7 angels. Did you recognize yourself in any of it? Is it possible you have been brought here for a reason? Perhaps for this moment. There are those listening who are not in this room. It's in your future when they listen, but it not in their future, it's in their now. In a way you are sharing with the future right now. I ask them the same question. Is it possible that they have been brought for a reason to these words, to this energy? A time when you would take the hand of god, just for a moment and forget your troubles just for a moment. And to sit in peace. I know you. I know you. Old soul.
The very idea of what a soul is, is not understood by you. Souls existed before humanity; way before humanity. The soul is the core essence of god in you. All of you carry it. The soul is who I know and the soul does not have a name like you have. It has an energy of light. I see your name in light. Do you know how many lifetimes you've had here? Some of you go back to the beginning. You will be here until the end. The end is very far away. You will be finished by then.
Many of you will have seeded yet another planet to do what yours is doing now. Some of you will incarnate on that planet as well. How old are you? The same soul will go there as well as was here. We watched this galaxy form, together. I know you.
There are some things we have not spoken of. We'll call them 'new'. We do this in the energy of love and we also do it with compassion. Compassion is the highest form of consciousness to a human. Compassion is greater than love. Love manifests compassion. Compassion is the maturity of love.
I would like to introduce you to four kinds of compassion. These kinds of compassion will comprise the new earth and they are different from what you think. We used the number 4, which is going to replace the number 3. Not just because it's the next number, but because it represents the new energy, balance, an alliance with Gaia, a return to the wisdom of the past. The 4 elements of compassion. These are not things that you should do. These are things that are going to happen. These happen with a higher consciousness. They are a natural evolution of what is next for humanity.
Let us pass over what is happening on the planet today. We discussed this in many channels. We told you about the darkness that is on the planet now. We told you to expect it that there would be a revelation of darkness in these times for 1 reason only; because the light is winning and when the light wins, the darkness, shall we say, is afraid and it will come forward in ways to frighten you. We're going to skip all that. Go to a planet that is done with this. A planet which has peace on earth. Let me tell you something. Peace on earth is not that difficult. When the dark energy starts to diminish and light starts to take its place, higher consciousness creates peace on earth.
You'll wake up one day and realize you haven't had a war in 100 years. Peace on earth. It's not that hard. It has to do with tolerance and understanding. That is intuitive for high consciousness. It's not magic. It happens by itself with spiritual maturity and evolution of consciousness thought.
I want to share 4 attributes of consciousness. The first compassion you would have on a scale of high to low. Humans love those kinds of scales. You want to know what's highest, what most important. So we'll give it to you.
The first compassion is for self. It has to be, it is the compassion of god in you. This is what changes who you are. Compassion for self is the one that people see as god in you. Have you heard before that it must start with you? You cannot spread yourself around and send compassion other places until there is compassion for self. It may seem to be an odd concept. Compassion is not ego. Compassion is the highest energy possible manifested by love. The masters who walked the planet this is the attribute they had that you liked. You saw it when they wept in front of you. They had compassion for what was inside them. The love of god. As consciousness becomes higher as you move to new levels of efficiency. All compassion will increase. Increased compassion even solves unsolvable issues.
Listen to this. Compassion for self causes healing inside. There is no greater energy for healing than compassion. You have compassion for your own body. You look at the cells within your own body and see them as god does, Did you know that consciousness has the power to cure disease, your own disease? Life spans can triple with a compassionate consciousness. That's why it has to start with self.
The next one is very different. It is time for humanity to begin to reclaim what they had. In the early days when those on the planet understood more, before humanity changed it through modern thought, there was a respect for the ancestors. How much do you think of your ancestors today? If you are indigenous listening to this, you can take a break cause you already know exactly what I'm going to say. The indigenous understand who the ancestors are. We have said repeatedly you are your own ancestors, so when you have compassion for the ancestors exactly who are you talking to? You are honoring your own lives. The ones who have been here before, who set the template of compassion and love. And carry the wisdom of the earth, they're you. In modern culture it is never even thought of. In your organized religion where you will find god and have beautiful spiritual attributes, you never talk about the ancestors. They're not even mentioned. It's about the master. It's about the prophets. It's about the saints, never about the ancestors. It is time to have compassion for the ancestors. Start including them in your meditations.
I want you to listen to the prayers of the indigenous, and the ceremonies of the indigenous, I don't want you to repeat them. I just want you to listen. What is the structure of importance? They honor the ancestors first. Humanity will start to recover this wisdom. It's gonna come naturally. It will step apart from what has been, that is difficult to imagine. It will be different from now. A higher consciousness will pull you back to the things that matter. So in order of importance, the second compassion is for the ancestors. Now think about it. It is very similar to the first one, which was compassion of self. This one is compassion for the ancestors many of whom used to be you. So really it is honoring yourselves again. Humanity will return to this. Why don't you be one who starts now? You start your meditation honoring self, honoring ancestors, and the next one, the honoring of humanity. The god in you greets the god in them. The masters who walked the planet were compassionate with other people. They cared about every single one who came into their energy. They loved human beings, compassionately. And when they saw other humans in trouble they cried. They didn't have to feel their pain but they had compassion for it. When humanity begins to be compassionate for one another, there can be no war. That's a higher consciousness. So the third one is compassion for humans, Now that's a test, is it not? Because you don't necessarily want to be compassionate to everybody? Let us be honest, dear human I know who you are, I know human nature. In an old energy it is difficult to love everyone. Those who are in an old energy are hard to love. You see no redemption in them. You don't see them getting any better. You may see them wallowing in drama. Hard to love. This is part of the first tests you have. It easy to have compassion for those who are compassionate. It is hard to see god in the bully, or the politician you don't agree with, or perhaps the one in prison for killing somebody. They have a soul as well. This time around in their lives, perhaps not all is well. Can you see god in them? Compassion?
The last one. Very important was also lost with modern civilization. Compassion for Gaia. There is a personality with Gaia, Pachamama, This is manna, The indigenous know of the energy of Gaia. They see it as a partner. In human consciousness, it is. You cannot separate the energy of Gaia from human consciousness. Gaia feeds you. Mother earth gives you oxygen. You live upon her surface. She is part of the consciousness of humanity. Right now gaia is fighting the darkness just like you are. We've set it before, The very outbreak of the disease ebola, has not happened before in this way has it? Not in the last 60 or 70 years has anything happened like this. The consciousness of Gaia has held it in place. And suddenly it's here again. Like the plagues of the past. Gaia is fighting the darkness like you are fighting the darkness. Low consciousness on the planet right now is fighting light. Gaia is in the fight with you. And you will win, you will win meanwhile how much fear is generated. How many of you will give up? The darkness hopes you all will. Compassion for Gaia is compassion for self.
It is a circle, dear one. Everything I have mentioned really turns on itself, does it not? For humans love others as you love yourself. Treat others as you would treat yourself. Does this sound familiar? This is the compassion instructions from the masters. It represents a new human being. A new kind of balance on the planet. It is time for you to be including the ancestors and Gaia. And not just other human beings. This is the new balance. A compassionate balance, moving toward the four. The four, the four represents a structure you have not had before, where the planet is included. Spiritual common sense and the revelation of truth. That's the future.
Now, we begin to close this message. What does this mean to you? Why am I telling you about a future you may not see? Because you will see it. I am planting seeds today. Dear ones it doesn't matter how old you are you listen to this. There will come a time again when you will pass again through the veil. You will be born again on this planet. And when you open your eyes, in that new energy, you will remember who you are. You will have a greater consciousness of light. You will carry the intuition not to make the same mistakes again. You will find yourself on the edge of exactly what I have described. The darkness, that battle will be over. And the next thing that you will be doing is helping humanity develop the 4 compassions. That's why I am talking about it. Cause you're going to experience it. How do I know these things? They are the potentials of humanity. Oh but more than that we've watched the process before. Some of you have been part of the process before. On other planets going through this energy shift I want you to remember this In this right now, this energy. In this I want you to remember that you are victorious. I want you to remember that the darkness is temporary. Do not despair. This is temporary. This is the test. We talked about it we told you it was coming as soon as you passed the marker of 20/12. And started the highest consciousness the earth has ever seen. That's what we want you to carry away from here. I know you. Leave differently than you came and so it is.

It started early. And what was taught was based around a shape. And from children to adults the shape remained the same. It was complex because what was within the shape, was then evolved.
Let me explain. First and most complex, the shape. A wheel, a circle with spokes to the center. The spokes to the center were numbered 5. 5 spokes to the center around the wheel. My partner go slow. I'm going to give these thing to you, You've never heard them before. And I'm going to give you visualizations that you will then enhance upon, using also the Akasha of the 2 who sit next to you. Yet how this looked, what happened and how it felt like. The teacher, the Lemurian teacher who was Pleiadian always would not be at the center. Would always walk around the circle when teaching. So there never was an exhaulted place. It started with the children. If you were a Lemurian and so many of you were, you got this as a child.
The circle had a name, but let me explain first, why 5? The name and the number go together. And it's not numerology. This is long before, way before numerology. The human beings saw the energies of the numbers and developed systems. This was raw. It was 5. 5 spokes to the center. The wheel had a name. Seeking Balance was the name of the wheel. And they called it a wheel, although it was then put before them on the ground for them to study. Circle on the ground. With 5 spokes from that which circled it to the center. Why 5?
Dear Ones, 5 is not that which you'd expect. Almost everything in nature is balanced with pairs. The push pull energy of the galaxy. The yin and the yang. The light and the dark. The laws of physics. The strong and the weak. Everything is paired up but not 5. Seeking Balance was the subject of this sacred wheel. And the spokes all had names and they would be explained to the children, to the adults; Why 5? And now we get into what the Pleiadians wanted humanity to understand and know from the beginning.
Magnetic fields. This won't take long, don't check out if you don't like science. The basics of magnetics at the very prime information; super simple. Physicists forgive me for this. Super simple. An atom which has too many electrons versus an atom that doesn't have enough, creates a plus and a minus pole as they try to connect with one another to balance themselves. This is a magnetic field. This is the bi-polarness of a magnet. The plus and the minus. We have told you since we started giving you physics that Magnetism is one of the only things in standard physics that begs to be changed. And that there are ways the relationship between these parts; these atoms with too many and these atoms with too few. If you can figure out how to manipulate the many to the few and the few to the many, you change the relationship to the parts; you manipulate the balance of physics and you can do anything.
This wheel is 5, for it begs for balance even within the shape of the teaching of the wheel. Five. It creates 6 spaces 5 spokes create 6 spaces. Even before the numerology the 6 was known. That's a balance number. The teacher, always one that was the Star Mother, beautiful, lovely to behold for it was always in benevolence and compassion. The children loved the Mothers.
About the spaces
Retrieved from Channel 6 RTL 17 Day 1
Now we're going to give you some information that we didn't give you before. It's not that important. It's just that we want you to visualize this for yourself, and perhaps even remember what the wheel might have looked like. The circle on the ground, in 2 dimensions. What it really might have looked like. Then slowly we are going to count the spaces. The wheel part, the circle part was thick, fat. It represented one third of the distance from the outer to the fulcrum, the middle, one third. The spokes, 5 of them represented one third to the middle. And the hub was the remaining third.
Now if you draw this you will see that the hub really was quite large. So anything that was put in the middle of it would have been quite small compared to the space in the hub. For those of you that took the time to draw a circle and put 5 spokes on it, the last channel I gave may have seemed puzzling. You see there is only 5 spaces between the spokes. Let's talk about the sixth space. Not before we remind you of the sacred geometry, but those of you that understand this will see. You're used to geometry being in straight lines. The 5 spaces if you color them in represent a very, very strange kind of triangle. You see the bottom of the triangle is curved. You have 5 triangles that are unusual because the bottom of them is not a straight line. The definition of any curve is an infinite number of straight lines. There is a message even within the spaces shape, 5 of them. Where is the 6th space? The answer is the hub. That's number 6. Now to a child learning it they'd never see that. They're not taught that. The women are taught that. When the gender teaching has split the girls began to study the spaces and they begin to be identified. That which is invisible, as I've said before, that which is difficult to understand. The reason the women get it is because they are going to need it to teach the sacredness they are going to hold of advancement of a relationship to the center hub.
Even the children are taught the center is god. The great Central Sun is God. And the great circle; that place around it, is life. It's their life. And from the beginning they see something. First of all it touches all the spokes and all the spokes touch the middle. They also see that there is not beginning or ending of life. Therefore no matter how long they study it they always see the same thing. It never ends. Eventually teaching of that even which is just the circumference, even that which is of life, is so sacred and it says this, no beginning, no end to the essence of you.
I want to talk again about yet again, the 6th space, the hub. The hub is beginning to show itself. Those spokes they go both ways. And again you have a teaching. There is no directionality on any of the spokes. You see there is no proprietariness, they all connect to the center and the center connects to the outside. Remove one and the system is weak. So the hub is not the end-all. The hub is not the power center it is simply the center.

This is another ceremony. Up until this time the education has been primarily physical. The teaching for the girls now intensifies as they learn about the invisible spaces of life between the spokes. They learn their direct connection to Source. The boys now learn their direct connection to Gaia. The girls become spiritual leaders and reveal their highly respected shamanism. The men look after the earth and protect their families. Everyone learns the truth of who they are as Divine Creators. There is no gender in the god realm.
When the 7 year olds enter the wheel with their mothers, they are excitedly suggesting what they think each spoke represents. They end up calling the center of the wheel the central sun. Soon it is nicknamed the Great Central Sun and the children adorn it with flowers, or fruit or at night it is decorated with a fire or flames of some kind. It's the center of all learning. It is the center of all truth.
One of the spokes was called Center Return. The children got it right away. They said, "Well, this is our Pleiadian Mother from the stars. There has to be a place where we go when we're finished here". You see the idea of the essence of a soul was right there with them. And they all said, "Yes. When we're done here we return to the center, the Great Central Sun; where all things emanate from, the center, the beautiful center". They were being introduced to reincarnation as ordinary and that there is no such thing as death. They memorized Center Return. All the spokes come and go from this, the center.
The second spoke was studied, Star Steering. The children were very excited about this too. They knew the Pleiadians came from the stars. And in order to get here they had to steer their way somehow. And they said this is going to be a spoke that eventually we're going to be taught how to steer among the stars. "We can do what the mothers have done. Yes, We get it, We get that, Star Steering".
Number 3 is Child life. What could that mean, Child Life? The children said, "This is name of the spoke given today, It'll change tomorrow when we're older. This is for us, we're children. It's the life that we have as a child. We're going to be taught how that works". Child Life. In reality this is the spoke of long life.
Number 4 Human God, They memorized these names. This was the first time they said, "There has to be a prophet, there has to be someone, something that is going to happen; a human becomes God. This is going to be for the future. We don't understand it yet".
The Mirror is the last spoke. Simple but not so simple! Can you see god reflected in another person. The Mirror, 5 spokes, odd names, memorized by the children. Then it started.
Slowly, methodically, simply and with elegance the Mothers would start teaching what the spokes really were. And the childlike ideas were enhanced slowly. Every session and every year got a little harder. The children got the idea only in the third year that the spokes worked both ways; center to the outside, outside to the center.
I, as an old soul, feel personally responsible for implementing a change in how our genders honor each other. Perhaps we can return to a new naturalness in our present day cultures. In these early days all the decisions that were important were women's business. Women were expected to connect with Source and bring forth viable options and did so. The men may have still been active in "politics" but they relied on the Source connection of the women for direction. As we continue, society in general will start to see the balance and wisdom that is missing today. They will see the beauty of each person shining forth and know that their speaking out should be honored, especially if they are female. This is a new level of incredible balance and wisdom coming to both men and women. The Star Mothers taught this way before it became the gender issue that it is today.
There are several reasons why now is the time to look at each gender differently. Humanity is changing and the time is ripe for it, literally the energy field of the planet is starting to create it. A second reason is that remembrance is needed and necessary for society. It's being done in other places, why not here? It is time we cleared the way to our Akasha and cleaned out whatever we have buried it under, from our prior lifetimes. And there is a literal shift of energy happening, of the masculine and feminine energy that is allowing society to see things in a way they've never been able to before.
Speaking out with compassion is becoming normal. I insist on normalcy. People are looking for ways to speak out the truth, that is bubbling up from inside them that makes total sense to them. Notice the silence that happens when people realize a truth. Imagine, the time when people will expect to see a woman stand up and be the leader of a group. We are starting to see this spiritual growth in places all over the planet. Society in general is starting to see the balance and wisdom that they never did before. Women will be honored. They're the soft one. The one who knows about life. The one who's given birth. The one who is connected first in a gentle way with the Creative Source. It makes total and complete sense.

Remembrance of Your First Embodiment?20:18:00
March 12th, 2018 Questions? Email us here
During the zenith of Earth's 26,000 year cycle, Gaia has had a magnetical shift firmly anchoring goodness into her crystalline grid. You and I are not-used-to-seeing-goodness-around-us, unless we, ourselves, have arranged for it to be there. We now are confronted with massive change. Perhaps we are growing new eyes to easily recognize our new surroundings. This may be an energetic exploration. You and I are, in effect, humanity experiencing spiritual unfoldment, consciously dragging the goodness of compassion into full view for ourselves and everyone to see and experience.
The origin of spiritual awareness and higher consciousness was delivered to the human experience on Earth by the Pleiadian Seven Sisters (our Star Mothers). They came to Earth in this grand experiment to establish a living Garden of Eden in Lemuria (now known as Hawaii) and began the consensual experiment for humanity to live as an awakened spiritual civilization. This opportunity was given in sacred trust to be nurtured and honored. The template was set in the remote Lemurian continent for the entire planet to one day exemplify spiritual consciousness.
Lemuria was chosen because it was an isolated mountain forming a small continent in the Pacific Ocean. It was volcanically active in those days as well as today, and back then was the tallest mountain on earth, reaching 33,000 feet. There was a tectonic bubble that pushed the mountain up. Lemuria was a perfect place for the Star Mothers to anchor their education in consciousness without interference from other cultures. The Seeking Balance Wheel was the structure they used.
The Star Mothers directed the human genetic code and activated it to create the shift from a merely physical human, with the survival systems of the physical body; to exemplify higher consciousness as a spiritually aware human. The genome was programed to be active or lie dormant for however long this might take. Human DNA was a friendly environment for this grand experiment and had been used on other planets with obvious success. After the genetic code was opened, changes and adjustments made, and the guidance system installed, humans now had a vehicle (merkaba) for the soul's evolution that hadn't been available before.
During the original genetic encoding, each of the Pleiadian Star Mothers energetically took up residence along the human spine, where they placed the seven activation points. An energetic recreation of each Star Center continues to be imbedded in the crystalline grid of the human energy field. These points are concentrated along the spine at glandular, nerve and bony centers as place holders for specific vibrations. Each energy center builds on the previous one as the magic and mystery of spiritual awareness and expanded consciousness unfolds. Along this framework of spiritual consciousness, from its root upwards, is carried connections from its origins in the dirt of the Earth, to grounding in the benevolence of Gaia, to anchoring in the One Divine Source. Humanity sprang upwards from the earth, toward the sky like the Tree of Life, encoded with the potential to live as spiritual human beings.
In the New Energy
The Lemurian/Pleiadian experiment in awakened spiritual consciousness has been quietly waiting in the memory of humanity for eons. It is carried in the old soul's Akashic Record, their internal crystalline grid and in their genetic code. Since the great shift of 12/21/2012, old souls have been resonating with the memories of past lives as realized beings, and searching to live as spiritually integrated humans once again. Now the key in the lock has turned and the miraculous journey of the human being with Divine Consciousness is ready to unfold!
The Lemurian Codes for Healing
The Lemurian Codes for Healing are the foundation of a system for reawakening the Original Encoded Star Activations given as a sacred gift to humanity by the Pleiadians so long ago. The Codes have been placed energetically in 11 cards, with images and words, and are programmed to connect the physical points on the body where the information of the Star Template is stored waiting to evoke an Akashic memory.
The information and images on the cards have been brought forth from the Akashic remembrance of Lemurian Priestess Mele'ha, Dr. Amber Wolf, and the visionary artist extraordinaire, Aurelian Pumayana Floret. From their own remembrances, these words and images appear together for the first time. The direction of Spirit brought together these two old souls, living in different cultures and countries, to be of service to humanity together. They have trusted the magic of synchronicity and Divine timing in this creation. It is their passion to assist in the reawakening of the Lemurian/Pleiadian consciousness of self-empowerment and the ability of spiritual humans to be self-balancing.
May you experience true alignment
and your sacred mission on Earth.

The Science of Synchronicity21:20:00
March 10th, 2018 Questions? Email us here
Birthing on earth means that not all of you will be able to fit in your tiny, baby body. Parts of you are going to have to stay behind where all this easiness is, to give you directions. Great. I'll always know what to do, won't I!
Some of us started to do this before we had built our galaxy and helped it form, and watched earth grow from its molten mass into its beauty. This took a long time as we envisioned and started out with two suns, which made it easier to develop photosynthesis to stabilize energy. We managed to destroy ourselves 4 or 5 times by various means during this process.
Plants and animals became part of earth's population thanks to photosynthesis. A variety of "humans" was developed and were encouraged to become one particular kind of human being that would accommodate the DNA the Star Mothers had ready to place in them to further this grand experiment. More information on this in the Lemurian Codes explanation.
So, you are finally ready to incarnate on earth. Parts of you are going to be on earth desiring to communicate with those missing parts of you that wouldn't fit down here and are left on the other side of the "veil". You are not allowed to fully see "the other side' because you are here to learn to choose goodness. In order to connect with those missing parts of you, you bring your chariot, your merkaba, which is directly connected to multidimensionality and is a safe place for your guides and angels. They are here to show you the way back home, and you must learn to ask. They are not bossy. Asking is necessary.
Your helpers are from the multidimensional God area and are happy to show you the way to consciousness. Consciousness has to be learned and experienced. It is not intuitive, unless you have developed your intuition. Earth is a conscious school.
Effectively use your guides by getting clear on what you are looking for. This is not really a goal. This is a direction you are going in for the highest good of yourself and your very large family; humanity. Your guides can contact the parts of the people on the other side of the veil. You have a lot of help because everyone that is on earth has parts of themselves that are in multidimensionality and can see the big picture and guide humanity toward benevolence.
There may be a lot of things that have to get rearranged to make this goodness happen but we are learning to trust the direction we are headed in, to show us the next people or next situation that can be experienced to make it happen. It may not always happen in the order or look like we think it should, as we are not used to change. We like to see where we are going (a goal) and not have it move or change. But change has to happen, light has to shine on all dark areas that have never seen the light of day, for goodness to happen.
This is like accessing a big soup pot of God energy where 7 billion parts of it are living in benevolence. If we pay attention to what the benevolence is saying to us and have patience while everything gets into position so that the highest good resounds with our desires we may obtain results that are more beneficial than our original request.
For example; we have a global financial system that has been around for thousands of years keeping humanity impoverished. There are rich guys, and the poor guys are left struggling for basic survival needs. Many people have been trying to rectify this situation by exposing its corruption, especially in the last few decades. Right now we have the Muslims, the Jews and the Christians at the negotiating table on this subject. Who would have thought these three could communicate with each other!
Another thing to be aware of is that on the other side of the veil there is no clock. Your concepts for life may require a lot of things and people to get lined up for them to actualize in this dimension. With all this extra energy involved you may create something way more beneficial than you originally thought. Synchronicity is a key.

What is this earth doing here anyways? Could it be that it is a garden for growing consciousness? Maybe a group of us decided to form a Consciousness School? Could it be that we are creating a place for beings to learn to love each other? Maybe we can investigate our success in actualizing this possibility.
We have succeeded in anchoring enough consciousness that the magnetical energy of the planet has been able to shift in the last century, altering consciousness on earth and our jobs. Basically we have the same job, but we get to step back and review and adjust our operational plans. A lot of the things we have been furiously working for, are here now and we can start easily incorporating them for functional results. The grey area is no more. There is only light and absence of light (dark). You are either alive or pretending to be alive.
Do you remember in school when we had to memorize all the dates and where weaker countries had something that stronger countries wanted so they just fought their way in and took it? We were taught that this was life on earth; divide and conquer; don't you dare forget it! This aggression is normal human behavior, don't you know? We were forced to live in it and incessantly told it was natural.
As citizens of earth, we have repeated hundreds of lives here with the express purpose of anchoring consciousness into the earth. We have succeeded with stage one. Gaia has become very conscious and values our interaction with her as we do ours with her.
Every time we have been born, we came into a warring planet. Every one of our cells knows this. We went through the whole good guy, bad guy thing even becoming warriors, killing for consciousness. We tried out the whole shebang. I'm not attempting to say we are good or bad. I am just saying we put a tremendous effort into doing our job and getting it done however we could. We had fighting with each other so habitualized into our DNA, it overflowed into our cells each time we were born. We may not like it when it surfaces but we've been burying it under positive thoughts to get it out of sight. Many of us do not even know it is still there and think those muffled rumblings we have are a normal feeling of life. In every lifetime we have been either suffering or doing our best to avoid suffering. Whichever we choose only anchors suffering deeper into our DNA and related body parts. Can we live differently?
There are a few basics we can do to help ourselves. Our experiences from every lifetime are stored and now accessible. We used to have to die to get them saved (in our Akasha reservoir). Our Innate used to promote short lives so we could keep collecting this wisdom. Then we were reborn and had to start life all over again as a child without conscious access to this previously-learned wisdom. How frustrating! Since the physics of consciousness has done its magnetical upgrade, we can all teach ourselves to access this info directly, avoiding this dying process.
There is a lot more to this story but let's start by dropping all karma and unfinished business from any lifetime right now. When you absolutely must know what's going on inside your body you can muscle test yourself, find somebody to do it for you or find a medical intuitive. We can take charge of our body by becoming friends with our Cells, our DNA and our Innate Wisdom and asking them questions. No longer should we be ignoring them. Just before your cells divide there is a split second when they ask how to do it? same or different? They are excited to know what you want. We can develop innovative questions to access our internal.
Ask yourself. Who made "suffering"? "Dear Innate, Do I really need to suffer? Is it a god/source creation?" Not too likely, right? Well if man made it and god didn't, why do I need it? Suffering comes from the dark era we have finally battled our way through with Light, thereby exposing it. Oh, there might be some dark era body habits still hanging around looking for something to do but why not allow them to lose their job!
Every day I say aloud to my Cells, my DNA, and my Innate wisdom; "I no longer accept what I have been doing ... suffering! Dear Any Energy That is Around Me Right Now, I am proclaiming that from this point on, suffering is replaced with joy. Suffering is man-made not god-made! Goodbye to all dark habit patterns that came along with it."
I am teaching all parts of myself spiritual common sense as I live in freedom from suffering. My blessings go to all of us who are experiencing the new changes.

- I use NHLE as a strong guiding light. Christian Roatis has the current conversation calculator here.
- My list list rewards offense heavily, and the most gifted offensive players will be at the top. Players with a range of skills usually do well, but there is a fine line between a two-way player and a checking future. The list does not give high numbers to players who have a lot of their value tied up in the defensive side of the game. Goalies are graded (almost exclusively) by save percentage, although success over more than one season has terrific value.
- I view Bob McKenzie's list as the draft Bible, but my list does not factor in any scouts input beyond the obvious. (My list is complete before his final one).
- Corey Pronman's views have a major impact on my list. He's been finding value in the draft for years and his list is unique. Despite my admiration for his work, our lists are not similar. Makes sense, since he's scouting and evaluating these players, I'm using math and what gets sent my way. Corey's mid-season list is here.
- Craig Button's list has high value for me, I like the fact he has the courage of his convictions.
- I pay attention to Red Line Report.
- Simon Boisvert is a wonderful resource. He's on the Lowdown often, I'm going to have him on this week.
- I also view McKeen's, Steve Kournianos, Grant McCagg, Tom Hunter, The Black Book, Scott Wheeler, Brock Otten, Adam Sherren, ISS.
- I do not copy any rankings (this should be fairly obvious if you look at other rankings).
- Mark Edwards Black Book is a brilliant reference. His release last year has been very useful for this year's draft. Highly recommended.
- It is very rare for me to rank a defenseman No. 1 overall. Last time? Victor Hedman, 2009. Things could change this year.
- My list is not designed to compete with, or copy any of the sources mentioned above. Organizations like Red Line, ISS, McKeens, Future Considerations and others employ actual scouts who observe, evaluate and project. None of their work is contained here.
- This list uses math, previous draft trends (the CHL delivers enormous talent to the NHL), various pieces of anecdotal information volunteered by scouts and observers along the way, and an educated guess based on watching these things unfold since 1971.
- (1) LD Rasmus Dahlin, Frolunda (SHL). The franchise defenseman. No negatives.
- (2) R Andrei Svechnikov, Barrie Colts (OHL). Complete talent, fleet winger (shoots left).
- (3) L Filip Zadina, Halifax Mooseheads (QMJHL). Size, shooter, speed, skill.
- (4) LC Jacob Olofsson, Timra (Allsvenskan). Speedy center with skill, he's an emerging player.
- (5) LD Ty Smith, Spokane Chiefs (WHL). Nice range of skills and impressive offense.
- (6) RD Adam Boqvist, Brynas (SuperElite). Undersized puck moving defender who is very creative.
- (12) R Oliver Wahlstrom, U.S. N. D. P. (USHL). Pure scorer with good size. Plus shot.
- (8) L Brady Tkachuk, Boston University (NCAA). Rugged power winger with two-way skills.
- (10) LD Quinn Hughes, Michigan (NCAA). Fast as lightning defender, smooth as silk.
- (9) RD Ryan Merkley, Guelph Storm (OHL). Ridiculous offensive package.
- (7) RC Akil Thomas, Niagara Ice Dogs (OHL). Undersized center with all of the tools.
- (11) L Joel Farabee, U.S. N. D. P. (USHL). Speedy winger with legit skill, he's a little undersized.
- (13) LC Filip Hallander, Timra (Allsvenskan). Big, fast forward is an excellent puck transporter.
- (18) LC Joe Veleno, Saint-John Sea Dogs (QMJHL). Good size and speed, creative center.
- (19) RD Noah Dobson, Acadie-Bathurst Titan (QMJHL). Two-way defenseman.
- (21) RD Evan Bouchard, London Knights (OHL). Big numbers, lacks first-step quickness.
- (16) LC Barrett Hayton, SSM Greyhounds (OHL). Shooter owns a heavy shot and uses it liberally.
- (20) LC Jesperi Kotkaniemi, Assat (Sm-Liiga). Smart, very skilled and he's 6.02, 190.
- (15) LC Ryan McLeod, Mississauga Steelheads (OHL). Late '99 has size, speed and skill.
- (14) RD Jett Woo, Moose Jaw Warriors (WHL). A fine two-way prospect and a rare righty.
- (23) RD Calen Addison, Lethbridge Hurricanes (WHL). Creative player, very fast.

- First Round—No. 5 overall
- Second Round—No. 36 overall
- Third Round—No. 67 overall
- Fourth Round—No. 98 overall (Oilers acquired goaltender Al Montoya from the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for a conditional fourth-round pick in 2018. If Montoya plays less than seven regular season games for the Oilers the draft pick becomes a fifth rounder)
- Fifth Round—No. 129 overall
- Sixth Round—No. 160 overall
- Seventh Round—No. 191 overall
For my Mock Draft, I'm using Bob McKenzie's list as my guideline. Meaning: A player chosen below would still be on the board when the Oilers turn arrived.
- First Round—No. 5 overall—LD Ty Smith, Spokane Chiefs (WHL). Steve Kournianos: Instinctive two-way force from the blue line with exceptional hockey sense and a strong desire to join the attack and create chances. Smith's mobility and vision seem to throw opponents into a state of confusion — his ability to transition quickly from defense to offense is excellent. He's an effortless skater with strong balance and agility, and he can pivot with the best of them. You'll rarely see Smith get caught chasing his man or losing positioning, as he makes timely reads and anticipates exactly where the puck will end up. Source
- Second Round—No. 36 overall—LC Linus Nyman, Kingston Frontenacs (OHL). Peter Harling: Nyman (pronounced Newman) is a speedy offensive winger. His explosive acceleration is arguably his best asset and he is a shifty player that hard to hit or check the puck off his stick because of his quick hands and feet. His offensive skills are above average for the OHL and he makes plays and has an excellent sense of timing to jump on loose pucks and rebounds for second chance goals. Nyman lacks size and strength and while he plays hard defensively and physically, he often is ineffective or loses puck battels, not due to lack of compete but because he is just out gunned physically. Source
- Third Round—No. 67 overall—R Aidan Dudas, Owen Sound Attack (OHL). Tremendous skill, undersized, average speed. He ranks No. 24 in estimated 5×5 points-per-60 in the OHL according to prospect-stats.com. He might be available here, Oilers would be wise to draft these insane skill kids early and often.
- Fourth Round—No. 98 overall (Oilers acquired goaltender Al Montoya from the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for a conditional fourth-round pick in 2018. If Montoya plays less than seven regular season games for the Oilers the draft pick becomes a fifth rounder)
- Fifth Round—No. 129 overall—LC Matthew Struthers, North Bay Battalion (OHL). This is a big power forward who has spiked since a mid-season trade. Brock Otten wrote about him here (No.35).
- Sixth Round—No. 160 overall—LC Jake Wise, USNDTP (USHL). I don't know where he's ranked to be honest, but his numbers are good and Steve Kournianos said nice things about him.
- Seventh Round—No. 191 overall—G Mitchell Gibson, Lone Star Brahmas (NAHL). I admit to at least partially choosing him because of the name of his team, but the young man has a nice resume.
A fun show this morning, beginning at 10, TSN1260. Scheduled to appear:
- Darcy McLeod, Because Oilers. Talbot, PK, cap.

Hello, sweet friends! It's Friday, which means the weekend, so HOLLA about that. I hope you had a magical week. We had a wonderful Valentine's Day because my parents and Adam worked in secret to give me the BIGGEST surprise. If you didn't know, we lost our precious siamese cat Felix suddenly three weeks ago due to an unknown heart condition and it absolutely devastated us. Because my parent's and A love me more than I deserve, they worked tirelessly the last three weeks to pull off surprising me with a 12-week-old kitten named Isabel, Izzy for short. Our hearts are beginning to heal from losing Felix, and she's been such a blessing. BUT BACK TO BUSINESS: today is an exciting day! We have been living in our new home for almost two months now, which means it is HIGH time for a room tour. I am MOST excited about this room because it is the space I spend the most time in. Can you guess it….that's right….MY MAKEUP ROOM (/Adam's office but shhhhhh it's mostly my makeup room). Woo-Hoo!!
I was so lucky to be able to partner with Wayfair for part of this home tour. They so graciously supplied this BEAUTIFUL vanity. I wanted something that I would be able to store all my makeup in. Because. I have a LOT. SO. They sent me this vanity and it has a ton of drawer and counter space. I have a dedicated drawer for everything: my eyeshadow palettes (they get the biggest drawer), eyeliners and mascaras, foundations and concealers, lipsticks (they take up a lot more than a drawer though), and bronzer/contour/highlighters/blush. HOLLA AT WAYFAIR FOR YOUR VANITY NEEDS.
Side note: the little basket thing that is next to my vanity is from IKEA and it is super awesome. I am keeping some jewelry, my makeup brushes and my hair tools like curling irons, flat irons and blowdryer. It is kind of a catch-all!
Thank you, Wayfair! This loveseat is also an item sponsored by Wayfair. We love love love it. We actually love it so much, that we turned around and bought the matching couch for our living room. This is super comfortable, the color is super neutral, which means no matter how we change up the room it's in, it will always match. The blanket and the grey loopy pillow is also from Wayfair. We can attest to the fact that this blanket is hands down the SOFTEST blanket that we have ever had. Izzy also loves it. So. Cat-approved.
The other pillow, the snowball pillow as we have affectionately named it, is not only my favorite pillow I've ever had, but it is also the most unique. That pretty thing came to us from Pier One as a sponsored product. We have bunch of other beautiful items from them as well, but they will have to wait until our kitchen tour. 😉
We love this thing but it took us about 12 times of trying to put it together before we actually got it right. Who can guess where this one is from? That's right…IKEA. But in all seriousness, we love this thing. Most of our home has dark wood, so it goes really nicely with the lighter furniture in the room. It's sturdy, well-made and holds all our many books. 10/10 would recommend.
Well, there you have it! My Home Tour: Makeup Room. I love this room. We had so much fun decorating it and I know for a fact that we will continue with wall decor as well. The light is here is so bright and perfect for reading, doing makeup or just playing with Izzy.
What was your favorite part of the room? What is YOUR favorite room in your house? Let me know in the comments below!!
Have you looked in your closet lately? When was the last time you actually —…17 February 2017
It's FRIDAY. WOO HOO! Another week, come and gone. How can it already…17 February 2017
My favorite part is definitely the white desk. I love all white furniture! It is just so fresh and clean.
Thanks girl! We LOVE minimalist designs and white!
Your makeup room looks amazing! I've turned our office into a makeup/craft room too.
p.s. Wayfair is awesome 🙂
We love Wayfair!!!!
This room is absolutely beautiful! I want one in my house!!
Obsessed with your makeup room! We're house hunting right now and I'm going to turn one room into my office/getting ready room haha.
xoxo, Jenny
I can't wait to see it!
Cats are the absolute best!! I've had mine for seven years now, and he's still the lovable, playful kitty when he was just a baby. I love your makeup room–and that tarte clay foundation! I've used it for the longest!
It's so awesome, right???
OMG your photos are so sweet in this! I love your little kitty!
Allison from http://www.mercuteify.com
This is so beautiful and I love your cute little kitten! Wayfair has some really great stuff. I love the vanity, and the loveseat, so simple and chic.
I really like Wayfair! I have become such a fan!
I'm so sorry that you lost your cat friend. Izzy is completely adorable!! Great job on the makeup room! So bright and airy!
Thank you so much!!! 😀
I love the simplicity, elegance, and chic touch that your makeup room has. <3
Thank you so much!!!
Your room is so cute- I love your furniture choices! Izzy is super cute, congrats on the new addition and happy FRIDAY!!
Your room and kitty is so freaking cute 🙂
Hey! I love that white tier basket on the desk and the couch! However the brightness of the room is dreamy. My new favorite is the dining room. I revamped it and it has become a new hangout for me.
I love that!! I love white, bright and open. 🙂
Hi there
I'm in the middle of writing ideas down for my Glam room. I will go on Wayfair for sure. Right now I have nothing and cant afford. But I have been collecting mini items for now
You will totally get there and it will be SO satisfying when it's all done!
What a fun and organized makeup room / office! I love how you styled the metal cart.
I fell in love with the vanity, I need one like this for my beauty room. I also like the color scheme you have. Great post.
Thanks so much Gaby!!!
I love the loveseat it and pillows! I also love your cat photo bombing your pictures!
LOL she thinks she is the center of the universe!
Hey Taylor,
I just wanted to send my condolences about your beloved that passed away. I'm a HUGE animal lover and that tugs at my heart. Your new gal, Izzy, she's so cute and tiny. Your parents and husband are very thoughtful people to do that for you.
I love your make up room. It's really quite nice and bright, and feminine but not over the top. 🙂
Have a great weekend Taylor.
Thank you SO much Lindsay. That means so much to me. Pets truly are a huge part of the family and when they pass away so suddenly it leaves a huge and irreplaceable hole in our lives. Izzy is a huge blessing and we love her so much. Thanks so much for your kind words about our new makeup room! I LOVE it. You have a great week, too!!!
This room looks GORGEOUS! I love the pillows on the loveseat – I don't have nearly enough pillows in my house. When I get my home office done I'm hoping to be able to have a little makeup station set up as well. My house is pretty tiny so I do my makeup in the bathroom right now but I hate it lol! In my old place I had my own vanity and I REALLY miss it.
I love love love the space having a real vanity gives!
I have been dying for a makeup vanity for months! Lucky you scoring one from Wayfair. I never thought about them as a source. Clicking over right now!
Yes!!! Totally tell me which one you love!
It's so stinking cute girlfriend!! Isabel seems to be loving it. And naturally, we have the same perfume. 😉
LOL. The same kind of cat, same perfume, same life…… 😉
First off let me just say your kitten is the cutest thing ever! I love your makeup room. I have been looking for new furniture for my room, and I think I will look at some of the stores you mentioned.
Thank you!! We think she is, too 😉 Yes — check them out!
This is so so nice and classy. Define minimalism. My hubby and I are planning to have a home when we're back to the Philippines, and planning to have a room like this is cool. Great job! 😀
Love how clean and fresh! That love seat is AWESOME! I personally have a weakness for decorating shelves. A nicely decorated shelf just…AHH…makes me so happy. 😀
Your makeup room is gorgeous! I mean, it's just perfect! Good for you. The kitty is a nice touch. I have one of my own that isn't camera shy either 🙂
Beth || http://www.TheStyleBouquet.com
This is so beautiful! I love all of the neutrals and pale whites! I also think that jewelry holder is so lovely.
I love your makeup room! That vanity is perfect for a makeup station, and I love that loveseat. It has a very classic style that will go with anything. I hope to have my own makeup room or corner one day.
this makeup room looks amazing! i wish I had space for one in my apartment!
This is serious beauty room goals.! I love all of the white furniture and neutral colors. Super calming. Also, your kitten is ADORABLE
Thank you SO much!!!
Such a lovely bright room! Perfect for doing your makeup in! The dresser is gorgeous, Where I lived before we didnt have space for a dresser but as soon as we moved into our new bigger home I got one and it's so nice to have space for everything!
Lianne | Makes, Bakes and Decor
I love seeing how other people store their makeup, there is something so fascinating about it. I love that vanity and it's perfect with all of the drawers for each separate section!
I love your makeup room; it's so pretty!
Belle | One Awesome Momma
Such a beautiful space! I'm pretty sure I'd never be willing to come out!

The Jerusalem Post reports: Shas MK Ya' acov Margi stepped into a diplomatic mine-field this week when he met with the head of the Russian-established government in Crimea, breaking with Israel's policy of maintaining strict neutrality in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
Margi, chairman of the Knesset Education Committee, met with Crimean Prime Minister Sergei Aksyonov (pictured), in talks that were trumpeted in the local press as a sign of cracks in the international isolation of the peninsula.
Only Nicaragua and Abkhazia have officially recognized Crimea as part of Russia, which annexed it in 2014. Meeting with government officials there is barred by Ukrainian law.
According to a Tass report, Aksyonov put out a statement that the meeting was likely to help Israeli citizens and governmental bodies "form an objective opinion about contemporary processes and events in Crimea."

Man, I feel like a haircut!
So I finally got my hair cut today. I'd be putting it off for as long as possible due to the lack of funds situation but I could hold off no longer. Instead of going to my regular hairdresser I had to go for a slightly cheaper option. Still not cheap as chips but not the usual £100+ I spend getting it cut and dyed. I had home dyed it (see previous post) so it was just a shaping up and trim I wanted. I still want to grow my hair really long, it's a decent length now but I want it uber long. It's amazing how getting your hair done can make you feel so much better. I swear I walk taller once I'm out the door. To look at it it's not all that different, as you can see, it sure does feel it though. It's lighter and no more dry ends! Plus there are a good few more layers in it giving it some shape. Bottom line, I'm happy with it. I guess I was a bit scared to go somewhere new. I love my hairdresser and don't like going elsewhere. When I was a teenagers one of my very first trips to the hairdresser was a disaster. My cousin was a hairdresser so she used to cut it for me so I wasn't used to having to go into a salon. I was young and a little timid of all the shiny mirrors and styled people. I took a photo of a cut I loved. It's hard to describe but was cut to the chin at the front and shorter at the back. Kinda graduated bob kinda not. Any way, long story short I came out with hair cut to ABOVE my eyebrows. Now I have a round face so this short crop was horrific. I felt like a man with it. As soon as I got out of the doors I burst out carrying (I was 16). I was too young and too intimidated to scream my head off at the person who attacked my hair. So now when I find a stylist I love I stick with them. However the new guy today was friendly and did exactly what I asked. Result!
So want hair nightmares have you gone through?

I have been enjoying your mods/content for years. Thank you, Pieter.
Have you tried out the Beta 4.1 WIP edition? Lots of fixes and improvements there now.
Also, I'm currently playing on Windows 10, does this fix the sea graphics a little? It's pretty dark blue on mod 13 cause of the intel issue I suppose.
The colour of the sea can be changed through code if you like. It is even possible to make it green. In Build 14, for example, it turns light Caribbean Blue when you approach shores.
If you use the Intel Fix on Build 14, there is some code in place to tweak the sea colour to look as good as we could get it with that fix. Still not brilliant, but you're probably not going to get better. Best is of course to not require that fix.
Man I can't find the stock PotC. Can you put it in a link?
Without SwiftShader installed the game crashes going to battle mode (or just leaving the overhead sailing mode). But the problem with SwiftShader is that it's using software emulation as it's documentation states which causes performance to lag. The music stutters and the frame rate is noticeably poor. I have a laptop with an nVidia graphics card with Intel graphics onboard. I've tried setting the nVidia control panel to run it with the high performance video card but that doesn't help and I've read the old PotC game ignores that anyway. Besides without SwiftShader installed as I mentioned it crashes going into battle. What am I to do, nothing? I'll admit I'm still running the b14_beta3_installer. I'll update to beta 4.1 but I'm doubtful it will impact this issue. Any advice please?
PS. I'm using SwiftShader_V2.0_Demo.1 which is an installer. I tried using the x64 (for windows 10) SwiftShader v3.0 but it's only a d3d9.dll file and the game crashes at the same old place (entering battle mode) with that installed.
Found the solution. It was installing the Intel Fix (not! Swift Shader).
Ay matey that happened to me! It's the INTEL CURSE!
This MOD makes my life livable! Arrg! The Long Range Patrol Frigate is my favorite ship I can reach up to 20 knots with wind in my favor. Captain Gibbs as a companion is just awesome. You may find him in Grand Turks Tavern. He has the Legendary compass that will guide you to the Isla De Muerte.
Correction Gibbs is in Las Tortuga's Tavern (Dark Frigate)
Can't install it says 'place b14_beta14_final.tar I've follow the instruction.
Check if you indeed have 'b14_beta14_final.tar' in the same folder as the Installer EXE. If you have it somewhere else, it won't be able to find it.
