Back in the day, before kids, my husband, or even much responsibility at all… my alter ego was the Tooth Fairy. It started out as a joke with some friends, which then turned into a movie short we made with a photo slideshow. It was pretty classic, and to this day I haven't lived it down. It doesn't bother me, I embrace it because I am proud of it. I had a blast before I settled down to start my family… now I have a blast with my family. Or once a year my bloggie sisters.
Well going back over a year ago to the 2010 BlogHer conference, I became the Wine Fairy. I am not really sure how exactly it happened as the Saturday night of the conference really was busy, loud, tiring, and influenced by the drink tickets I had kept to myself to have a good time. It was the end of the conference, I was all business until the parties went into full effect.
I had received a generous offer from the Wine Sisterhood to host a wine tasting party in my room, which kind of tanked when most of the people who had RSVP'ed for the party decided not to come. It happens, it is a busy conference, and I didn't realize exactly how busy it would be because it was my first year attending.
With several bottles of wine, only two roommates, and tickets to some parties… I took one of the bottles in my purse and headed on my way.
But I still wanted to be able to share the different kinds and varieties of wine with the attendees of the conference. So as I went from party to party, and ball room to ball room I would stop and offer ladies some wine. If they were sitting enjoying some drinks at a table, walking with an empty glass… whatever…
Then I stumbled across the most fun table of the night, looking back I think there were 6 ladies sitting there, one of them being the hysterical Awesomely Luvvie who actually was a speaker at the conference! Mind you, to this day, I am still buddies with her and we frequently chat.
When we had such a good time downstairs, we all went back to my room and finished up the other bottles of wine I was waiting to distribute amongst the conference.
Thus they dubbed me The Wine Fairy!
A title I still wear to this day proudly! There is nothing wrong with having a little fun as an adult, especially when you have a little bit of time away from your children, even if it is for business. The Wine Fairy made me a couple amazing friends that I love dearly!
I want to thank The Wine Sisterhood again a year after the fact for the amazing wine they provided us that weekend!
The Wine Sisterhood provided the wine free of charge, but all opinions, and reviews are my 100% expressed honest opinion. I did not receive any compensation for this post.

What's the Difference?
Commercial soaps are manufactured in large factories (often located overseas) staffed with anonymous employees, using the most economical ingredients. Often they contain some or all synthetic detergents; most have the glycerin removed.
Handcrafted soaps, on the other hand, are manufactured locally in small batches with the personal oversight and care of the soapmaker. Handcrafted soapmakers use high-quality ingredients and are able to add specialty oils and additives to personalize their formulations.
The creative artistry of each handcrafted soapmaker results in soaps that are different and unique, offering consumers a wide selection of soaps that are not only natural, but functional and beautiful as well.
The Truth About Handcrafted Soap
Also known as "handmade soap" or "homemade soap," handcrafted soap is a blend of both science and art. By combining the scientific knowledge of the last 150 years with the artistic creativity of the soapmaker, each bar is safe, luxurious and unique. Handcrafted soap is soap in its true and most pure form.
Handcrafted soap can be made from scratch by the cold or hot process methods or by using a pre-made soap base. The Handcrafted Soap and Cosmetic Guild recognizes any soap made by these methods to be handcrafted so long as at least 50% of the process is done by hand.
True soaps are the result of a chemical reaction between vegetable or animal fats, water and lye. When combined, they transform into soap and glycerin with no lye remaining in the soap. This reaction is called "saponification," which literally means "the making of soap."
Handcrafted soapmakers generally pride themselves on the unique recipes they use to create their signature soaps.
Most handcrafted soapmakers use food-quality, natural ingredients, starting with a variety of vegetable oils such as olive, coconut, or palm, or they may use purified tallow or lard. To these might be added specialized oils, nut butters or seed extracts to bring the desired qualities to the finished bar. Fragrance oils or plant-based essential oils are added for scent.
For color or texture, soapmakers often use cosmetic-grade pigments or dyes, botanicals, herbs, spices or other natural ingredients. For those with sensitivities, many soapmakers also make "simple soap" with no additives or scent.
Besides all the wonderful ingredients that may be in handcrafted soap, perhaps the biggest advantage of handcrafted soap is in the soap makers themselves, each of whom invests her care and attention to detail into every batch and bar.
When you use a bar of handcrafted soap, you know it was made with the personal touch of a local soapmaker.
What About Glycerin?
Glycerin is a humectant, which means that it attracts and retains moisture on your skin. It is like a natural skin lotion in the soap. Glycerin is a natural by-product of the soap making process. Most commercial soap manufacturers remove the glycerin from the soap, process it and then sell it to other industries where it is used in pharmaceuticals, foods, cosmetics, and other products.
With handcrafted soaps, glycerin remains in the soap. The end result is mild, pure soap that gently cleanses your skin without being harsh, irritating or drying.

Allura Catamaran Excursion - [3 hours]
Experience a once in a lifetime opportunity to snorkel in the world famous waters of Grand Cayman's Stingray City. Spacious, comfortable and with shaded area if you wish, Allura is the ideal boat to sail the beautiful waters of the North Sound to the Stingray Sandbar. There you will be able to snorkel, feed and interact with dozens of Southern stingrays. The rays literally eat out of your hand. Your experienced crew will ensure the ultimate photo opportunity, before hoisting the sails for the return to the Yacht Club.
Snorkeling equipment, safety vest, professional instruction, supervision, food for rays, complimentary beverage and transport are included.
Special Notes:
Minimum age is 8 years old. Stingray Sandbar lies a few miles offshore.
Entry into the water is by steps into water 3 to 4 feet deep, conditions permitting.
Local legend has it that the stingrays began gathering in the area decades ago when fisherman would return from an excursion and go behind a reef into the sound and clean their fish in the calm water of the shallows and sand bar area. The fish guts were simply thrown overboard and the stingrays eventually congregated to feast on the discarded guts. Soon the stingrays began to associate the sound of a boat engine with a free meal. As this practice turned into a tradition, local divers realized that the stingrays could be fed by hand. In 1987, Skin Diver Magazine sent a reporter to do an article on this anomaly which fascinated the world.

This is the ultimate fresh, green salsa. The addition of avocado gives it a wonderful creaminess!
I used this recipe as a base, but I made significant changes. I roasted the tomatillos after cutting them in half and putting them face down on a baking pan. I cooked them until the tops were brown and they were soft. I combined them with a ripe avocado, half a bunch of cilantro, salt, lime, and 1/4 of a white onion in the blender. I omitted garlic because I find garlic to overpower the other flavors, even though I usually love garlic. The resulting salsa is amazing!! - 19 Apr 2009 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
WOW! I followed this to a tee. It is much better than those good mexican resturants serve with their chips. It is a keeper. No changes needed. A+ - 07 Jun 2006 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Instead of using water, try sour cream. It makes it a little richer but also a little thicker. I left out the garlic too as a personal thing. Very good though. And I agree...It's meant to be consumed with chips! - 18 Jun 2008 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)

Anyone who turns their attention to an historic or period property will soon be confronted by this. It's a highly emotionally charged issue. How often, for instance, have you heard of someone who has lovingly invested millions bringing an old behemoth back to life, only to have a neighbour sneer at how they've wrecked it? Or, admired the mirror sheen on a piece of lacquered furniture to be told "the patina's been destroyed. They sanded and refinished it."
|English japanned cabinet at Mount Stewart, County Down, photo John Hammond,
similiar to the cabinet described above that was recently conserved
I have a japanned cabinet on stand in mind as I write this. It is eighteenth century, quite rare and very beautiful from a slight distance. Upon closer inspection the surface is heavily flaking, including the over painted chinoiserie designs, there are several poorly repaired breaks, the plain finished back is warped and starting to draw apart, affecting the stability of the piece, and the top of the chest is also beginning to separate causing the piece to look slightly bowed from the top. As if that weren't enough to worry about, several pieces of the unusual mother of pearl inlay have popped out due to expansion and contraction from the climate extremes the piece has been subjected to for the two hundred years of its life.
Do I conserve the piece, which means to stabilise and possibly clean whilst disturbing the existing finish and fabric as little as possible, using as many reversible materials as possible? Or do I restore it, which may involve the radical step of renewing the finish whilst probably retaining some of it at the back or underneath as a clue for future restorers, replace pieces at the back where necessary and replace bits of perished inlay, remove the top and try to level it through various methods, etc? What I will then have is a very beautiful object that will also be far more robust - but will its value be affected by it not being in original condition?

owner purchased the plantation. Restored and reupholstered it is fit for purpose as

Whatever the point of view, it is still an essential discussion. Conservator William Marshall, for many years manager of the restoration workshop at Hyde Park Antiques commented, "in my view the object of restoration is to bring back the beauty and function lost to time and damage without changing the piece. To make it look as though it was only dusted for 200 years." My personal opinion varies depending on the value of the item, the intended use and the owner/users point of view. An organisation like The National Trust spends a substantial amount of its budget each year on conservation, which means mostly boring delicate cleaning, and controlling climate, uv light exposure and pests.
The fate of the cabinet on stand mentioned above is that a decision was taken to conserve rather than restore it. This can be a more costly process and the final result may be disappointing aesthetically for anyone expecting the bling factor of a new or perfect eighteenth century example of japanned chest on stand. We were thrilled to show the fading of colour and mottled finish, the raised areas and losses as it highlights this particular cabinet's journey through time to the present. And the owners placed it in a dressing room where it would not be subject to heavy use or risk of excessive decay.
|An original Queen Anne walnut secretary
|The same piece, after restoration
by Guenther Wood Group
When these pieces were first made in England (a result of demand from the Orient outstripping supply), cabinetmakers John Stalker and George Parker published the "Treatise of Japanning and Varnishing" in1688. It described in detail with drawings how to create this labour intensive and highly fashionable finish with different varnishes and gums. It is even more laborious and expensive to stabilise an existing finish today - just doing the detective work of how exactly the finish was achieved can take many hours. Is it worth it? I believe the answer is yes, if you can afford it. The honest patina acquired over several hundred years cannot be replicated and in most cases adds to the value of a carefully maintained piece of furniture.
"Every antique, no matter how humble, has a very important story to tell about our cultural heritage."
Olaf Unsoeld, conservator
Next time we will examine the impact the restoration/conservation debate has had upon houses and the way we use them...

Accessorizing: Hat or bandeau; feathers, ribbons or scarf
Since my late 1790's gown is nearly finished (I only have the sleeves and hem to do), I've lately been dreaming about accessorizing. The only problem is, I mostly have to work with what I've got because I'm currently on a shoe string budget. I did manage to scrounge up recently some gorgeous ribbon, and antique clasps at a local vintage antique store. That will be my only purchase for this outfit this year (remember the fabric was bought last year ) ....so I will have to make do. I'm not too worried, because the gown itself is the show piece. A little splash of color here or there will make it pop.
I bought this shawl at last year's Jane Austen Festival. It's gorgeous, and I plan on using it again this year. The good news, other than that it's gorgeous and I love it, is that it matches the color of the ribbons I purchased (without even thinking about it). It doesn't surprise me that they match, because I'm almost always drawn toward jeweled, or peacock toned clothing and accessories....teal, jade green, peacock blue...love 'em.
The other item I have to work with is my late 1790's capote bonnet that I made last year. I will wear the bonnet during the day of the festival, but will probably come up with some sort of bandeau or ribbon to wrap around my hair (and maybe a feather or two?) for the ball. I don't want the capote to look exactly like it did then, so I will remove all of the brown ribbon that I hastily put on, and have a clean slate to work with. I've been browsing several fashion plates to get some inspiration for the trimmings.
Here's one (sorry it's not very clear...click to see a close-up view), second from the left. It's decorated with a simple wide ribbon and a sprig of flowers is attached to the top, right side.
I like the first one on the top, left in this plate. The simplicity of the white ribbon wrapped several times around and tied at the back, bottom edge really intrigues me.
While I don't like the enormous bouquet of flowers perched at the edge of the bonnet, I DO love the wide spread of fabric, draped almost scarf-like around the hat. I might be able to use a bit of my lawn fabric that's left over to achieve this look.
Finally, this one, I've been contemplating using a scarf to hold the hat onto my head, and this one (top left) would be the manner in which I would do it.
Here are my cast of characters (minus the bit of lawn I could use as a scarf-like material). I could use any, all, or none of these items for my hat and bandeau. The fun will be in deciding how to put it all together.
The silk scarf above is one that my sister-in-law brought back from India and gave to me a few years ago. I was thinking of using it as the bandeau for the ball, along with these feathers. It's long and rectangular, so I don't think it would work as a scarf for the hat.
And finally, if I use ribbons on my hat, I will probably use the wide ones above. I think I will save the thin, silk ones (bought from Burnley-and-Trowbridge ) to use as a belt around my gown.
I'm a little bit afraid that the vintage buckles I bought to use as a faux belt buckle might be too heavy to use on the silk ribbons, but surely I can rig up something and make it work, right!
I'm looking forward to playing around with my accessories, and of course, I'll be sure to share the results with all of you!

Shared Space
Title: Shared space
Site: Southend-on-Sea, Shared Space/Victoria Gateway, Essex
Date: June 2014
This installation was created on a site where skateboarders gather in Southend. The local Council have decided that this space is to be titled a 'Shared space', the council have made several adaptions to the site and it is becoming more and more difficult for the skateboarders to share this space.
The 'skateboard' sculpture to the statue became a fixed addition, With it being replaced by the public if the ties eroded or fell off. Due to press and public interest the local Council stated that they were happy to keep the skateboard sculptural attachment on the existing statue. It eventually disintegrated and disappeared.

I left them at noon to go pick up Dan and head to the airport. I was sad. They didn't cry when I left, or seem nervous about the 15 hugs they had to endure before I made it to the door. I picked up Dan and we went out for lunch. I was still sad. Then we made it to the airport and had a drink and a few laughs. I was still a little sad. Then we got on the airplane and flew to Phoenix. We flew Southwest and got there late, so we sat a row apart...in the middle chair. I was sad (50% because of the girls, 50% because of the chair). Then we landed in Phoenix and headed to the hotel. I was over it.
We napped, and I primped, and then we went out on the town! We had dinner, and met some nice people to chat with, then we went to the John Legend and Sade concert!! It was awesome!
We learned a few things: 1) We're old. The concert was loud, the fools around us wouldn't sit down and quietly enjoy the show, we didn't get back to the hotel 'til after midnight!!! 2) Time away is good. The girls were fine, Dodie and Pop handled it as well as we knew they would, the days of being them being weaned from me is getting less sad, and I still really, kinda like Dan.

So it is back to school time and you know what that means for us homeschoolers, time to come out to play and learn! When school is back in session, companies offer homeschoolers discounts and educational events in order to drive business during slow periods. Homeschoolers love to take advantage of these opportunities to explore our amazing town and local businesses at affordable prices. Most importantly, we love that everything is less crowded! This allows us to ask more questions and the chance to learn hands on. But what does a week of homeschooling really look like?
A week of homeschooling looks different for everyone because each child is unique and has different needs. Many homeschoolers use a mix of styles, resources, and activities to complete their education goals. My son is now 6 years old and would typically be starting first grade this year. This is what a typical week of homeschool may look like for us.
Brendon and I love to sleep in on Mondays. We take the time to recover from the previous week and very rarely have activities planned for Monday mornings. When we do wake up, we may snuggle in bed together and slowly wake up together while reading small books to each other. After breakfast, we may play a favorite board game or build something with Legos. In the afternoon, we head to our friend's house for creative art activities or science experiments and some social time.
On Tuesday mornings, we often have a play date to attend like a St. Augustine Moms Blog Park Hop, a group tour of a local police station, or a zoo meet-up. Then we will go home and practice writing by making up our own stories. In the evening, we may have soccer or t-ball practice or Brendon may go spend the night with Grandma and Grandpa, where he will complete math problems to find clues to hidden toys and prizes.
We may have free play on Wednesdays, which normally consists of running back and forth across my living room pretending he is a soldier or a Star Wars character. Depending on the time of the year, Brendon and I may join our homeschool group for a park day or a beach day in the afternoons. At the end of the day, Brendan's dad may join us as we read some books together before bed.
We meet up with a group of friends Brendon's age on Thursday mornings. There is a new theme each week which may include creating a catapult, learning about bugs, or making slime. We may meet with our 4-H club in the afternoon to learn how to make a bat house, clean up the beach, or put together gift bags for the homeless people of St. Augustine. If we are lucky, we may catch a sign language class with Come Sign With Us in the evening.
Fridays are normally our field trip days. It may be a trip to the Alligator Farm, St. Augustine Aquarium, a scenic boat cruise, Fort Menendez, or the St. Augustine Lighthouse. We try to catch any event that has been organized by a local homeschool group or places that have a homeschool day discount. When dad gets home from work, we may all gather in the kitchen to make a family dinner. Brendon's favorite job is zesting the lemons.
Depending on the season, we may start our Saturday mornings with a soccer or t-ball game. Otherwise, Saturdays make the perfect day to go exploring St. Augustine as a family. We take advantage of local parades, festivals, free historical presentations or walking tours, or even family seining at Guana.
We try to make Sundays our family day. Whether we take a walk on the beach, go kayaking or fishing, or just spend the day at home playing board games or Legos together.
When it comes to my son's education, what we concentrate on the most is strengthening our family bond, reading as much as possible, and allowing Brendon to question everything and communicate his thoughts to us. As he grows, the way we educate him will grow and change as well.

Meet Our TeamGet to know the staff and leaders
Senior Pastor
Bio: Danny and Susan started life and ministry together in 1981. They have three grown children and two grandchildren. When they met, Danny was the pastor of Open Door Baptist Church in Tuscaloosa, Alabama where he served for twelve and a half years. Danny moved the family to Lynchburg, Virginia and directed the pastoral training program at Liberty University as the Dean of the Seminary while Susan taught in the Family and Consumer Sciences Department until 2005. At that time, Danny and Susan headed south to Chattanooga, Tennessee where he served as the President of Tennessee Temple University and pastor of Highland Park Baptist Church. Now, they begin a new adventure in Birmingham, Alabama, at the Church at Chelsea-Westover. This burden and dream for a church plant along the growing 280 corridor was sparked by David and Christie Wilson, Servpro owners and former church members at Open Door Baptist Church. The core group is growing together in love and fellowship, praying for God's plan to be accomplished through His people in the Chelsea-Westover area. The Shelby County Baptist Association, Alabama Baptists and the North American Mission Board are jointly supporting this new church plant!
Family: Susan (Wife), Eric (Son), Mary (daughter), Stephanie (daughter)
Student/ Outreach Pastor
Rick was saved in April of 1988 at the age of seven. He was baptized at the age of 8 at Fairwinds Baptist Church by Pastor E.L. Britton. He later graduated high school from Fairwinds Christian School. Rick graduated from Tennessee Temple University in 2005.
On September 3, 2005, Rick married his best friend Heather . Rick and Heather served in lay ministry at the Middletown Baptist Church under Pastor Ed Lasko. Next, Rick was called as Youth Pastor to Calvary Baptist Church under the leadership of Pastor John Reynolds. Together Rick and Heather served in ministry at Calvary Baptist Church in Connersville, IN for 10 years and saw a great move of God in the lives of students. In 2015, they joined us here at The Church at Chelsea-Westover in a new capacity as Assistant Pastor. Rick and Heather consider it a privilege to be under the leadership of Drs. Danny and Susan Lovett.
They have a passion for connecting with people, loving the lost to Jesus, cooking (Heather), eating (Rick), drinking coffee, and playing board games! They have 3 wonderful children; Callie Reese born February 2007, Wyatt Richard born October 2008, and Weston James born February 2013.
Worship Pastor
Bio: Benji was saved at a young age and has kept Christ 1st in everything. He has been involved in Worship Ministries, Administrative, & Media in several churches through the years. God has brought him through several things in life as reminder to keep Christ as the head of his life. Benji has been apart of several worship studio recordings and loves recording on his own. He has written several Praise & Worship songs and currently uses them during live Worship.
Family: Sarah (Wife), Sammie (12/05), Mahlon (02/09), & Makenzie Rae (08/14)!
David served as the Church Administrator for the Church at Chelsea-Westover. He and his wife Christie were instrumental in using what God had blessed them with to start the Church at Chelsea-Westover at their Servpro Regional Training Center in Westover, Alabama. David came to believe a very long time that he is a follower of Christ (Christian) who happened to own his own business. Thus he was a "Christian" businessman. God has given the Wilson's a tremendous platform in Servpro to proclaim His gospel. He has been able to broaden that opportunity by serving the Lord in the Church Administrator capacity at the Church at Chelsea-Westover.
David counted it a privilege and honor to serve the Lord and his people in this capacity.
Children's Director
Sonya serves as the Children's Director at The Church at Chelsea-Westover. She and her family have been blessed to be a part of CCW since the beginning. Sonya gave her life to Christ at age 9 and continues to share with others the life changing power of the gospel. She considers it an honor to serve on this staff and is consistently in awe of God's provision for the Children's Ministry here at CCW.
Family: Kerry Sr. (Spouse), Kerry Jr. 6/1999, Kai (8/2004
AWANA Director
Bio: I was raised in a very loving Christian home and saved at the age of 5. I am very thankful for my Godly parents that raised me to be who I am today. As a teenager I felt God calling me to serve him, but I wasn't sure how or where he wanted me to go. I just knew I wanted to be in God's will. After I graduated high school I went to the University of Montevallo to get my degree in Early Childhood/Elementary Education. After I obtained my degree and married Jason, I never felt satisfied when I talked about teaching. When a position came open at our church for a Preschool and Children's Director, I finally knew what God had in store for me! For the next 10 years I served at North Shelby Baptist Church where I learned a great deal about my abilities in leading children to know God's love. After my 10 ten years of ministry at this church, I felt God leading me to pursue a new place to serve. I am so thankful that my whole family and I can serve here at CCW together. We can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for us. The Lord definitely has His hand on this church!

Church Council
Sylvester gave his life to Christ at very young age while attending the Wilson Chapel A.M.E in Grove Hill, AL. He is a retired Army Veteran that served in the U.S. Army for 25 years. While in the Army, he served on the Deacon Board in The Church of God in Christ in West Germany and Raleigh, N.C. Sylvester's last assignment was in Birmingham, AL where he attended the Worship Center and served on the prayer and evangelism ministries. During his tenure at the Worship Center, Sylvester was lead by God to attend Southeastern Bible College where he received a B.A. in Ministry Leadership. In early 2013, Sylvester had an inspiring conversation with Pastor Danny Lovett and was impressed with his vision for the church. Shortly after, Sylvester joined the church and began serving on the ministry team.
Church Council
Born into a Christian family. Both grandfathers were pastors. Grew up in Japan as a missionary kid. Got "saved" many times growing up. But it never became real. Was not a Christian when I came to Birmingham. Did not want to come to Alabama in fact but was desperate for a job. I came to help build a church. That was the last place I wanted to be. While working on the job with the pastor, he presented the gospel in such a way that it made sense. I got saved in November of 1976 and have been growing ever since.

Arrival, 2016 - ★★★★½
I've realised that I definitely prefer my sci-fi films to leave a good portion of the explanation to my imagination. Arrival delivered on that, and I loved it. The visuals, the look of the aliens and their method of communication, the non-linear aspect of the plot and the music were all perfectly suited to the story. I liked the message too, though at the moment I have less confidence that we - as a species - would be able to pull together internationally to collaborate in the way that is shown here. I hope I'm wrong.
All the leads were great in this, but Amy Adams particularly gave a very strong performance. This is one of those films that I'm tempted to watch again, just to pick up the subtleties.

Cats, Cars, and Canadian Pizza
By this point, it was time for lunch. Derek had found a "Canadian" pizza place that he wanted to try out, so we took a rather long taxi ride from Wheel House Cafe to District 3. Canadian Pizza is supposedly the "best pizza in Ho Chi Minh City." It's not. At all. But we did enjoy the hockey jerseys on the walls (and sombreros?), but it was also a place that I doubt we will ever visit again.
We had a lovely day out and about as a family and enjoyed discovering new parts of this amazing city. The best part of it all? Both boys took a nap in the cab on the way back to The Vista.

City Hall still cash strapped
City Hall will soon roll out a detailed plan to remove the garbage piling up in the city and they will be looking to work with corporate Guyana to do so.
Public Relations Officer Royston King said that the situation is troubling but he was appealing to citizens to play their part in the disposal of waste.
He said that City Hall is always short of cash.
Acting Head of the city's Solid Waste Management Bissoondial Parbhudin said that the city is being handicapped with several non-functioning trucks and staff on industrial action over salaries.
The council is also prosecuting persons for littering and so far 14 persons were charged and placed before the courts.
In the meantime private garbage collectors are still removing garbage from around the city.

Category: Plastic Surgeon
Dr. Jennifer Walden, A Success Story
Dr. Jennifer Walden, MD, PLLC, a cosmetic surgeon based in Austin, TX. told an interviewer that one of her biggest goals is to help women, really help where they need it. She feels surgery gives women a better quality of life. When they feel good about themselves they are confident about their appearance.
Besides running a successful practice, Dr. Walden is also a mother of twin boys. As a mother herself, she has empathy for her patients, having gone through similar experiences, not just having sympathy. Dr. Walden receives a large demand for the repair of women's bodies after they give birth – large or sagging abdominal muscles and deflated breasts from breastfeeding. She restores their bodies and often their spirits. Instagram Photos.
Dr. Walden feels her practice is unique for several reasons. Over ninety percent of her patients are women. She runs an all-female practice, which is unique in itself. From Dr. Walden, the owner/medical director, a top rated female insurgeon in the operating room, the med spa staff complete with relaxing massage techniques, to the office and reception staff – all are women. Women feel free to openly discuss their wants and needs, whether it's a tummy tuck, facial or neck tightening, or breast augmentation in a non-intimidating environment. The patients can view the 3-D post-surgery results before hand to see if they are pleased with their choice.
Dr. Jennifer Walden is listed on SuperDoctors, and she has made many written and in-person presentations. She was the invited lecturer in Mumbai, India, where she performed a live operation. Some of Dr. Walden's lectures and papers have been made with other Doctors, speaking about topics such as Facial Reconstruction in the Pediatric Trauma Patient or Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping in Nonmelanoma Skin Cancers.
Dr. Walden And The Medical Field Brings Innovation
The healthcare and medical industry is a very important industry. For one thing, people often need help when it comes to making sure that their health is in good condition. At the same time, there are other aspects of health that the industry deals with. Among the types of procedures that are accepted in the healthcare industry is the cosmetic procedures. One of the common procedures is cosmetic surgery. This is one of the types of procedures that are gaining popularity because of the advancements being made in the technology as well as the techniques. People are becoming more comfortable with the procedure.
The advancements in technology and the improvements to techniques are being made with the help of people that are very passionate about the procedure. Among the people that are very passionate and effective in the surgical field is Dr. Jennifer Walden. She is someone who has done more than just study the field. She is someone who has taken the time to look at many different methods to bring improvements to the surgical procedures. She has also introduced some new procedures and even reintroduced other procedures in the field. This has gained her a lot of respect in the industry.
Dr. Jennifer Walden has also appeared on shows and has also written parts of the new textbook that people are now studying from. One of the reasons she has been so effective in bringing innovative changes in the surgical industry is that she has been very passionate about helping people feel better. One thing that she wants is for people to be comfortable with the procedure. She also is hoping to make sure that people have a quick recovery time from the procedure so that they will be able to continue on with their lives and enjoy the effects of the new procedure.
Great Skill and Compassion Make Dr. Jennifer Walden Top US Plastic Surgeon
Some cosmetic plastic surgeons are blessed with a keen aesthetic eye and great skill for transforming the faces and bodies of their patients but lack in compassion and warmth.
Texas' Dr. Jennifer Walden has been gifted in all three areas, because she truly cares for each patient and respects the reasons they have chosen to undergo a cosmetic procedure. Maybe she gathers this understanding from her parents, who were both prominent in their medical fields.
Whatever it is, patients love Dr. Jennifer Walden, especially her major female base. When women are choosing plastic surgery, they're not intimidated by a female surgeon, she says. Instead, they feel comfortable to expose their body and discuss their reasons for procedures like a tummy tuck, nose job, breast lift or vaginal rejuvenation. Patients trust Dr. Jennifer Walden and are thrilled she moved back to the great Lone Star State.
Jennifer Walden grew up in Austin and graduated from Anderson High School, taking her intellect and grace to the University of Texas at Austin. She received her bachelor's degree in biology and then picked her medical doctorate. She graduated with distinction as salutatorian from the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston.
Jennifer Walden completed her residency training and then moved from Texas to New York City to study aesthetic plastic surgery. Once again, the beautiful Texan was recognized for her brilliance and selected for a fellowship at Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital. During her Manhattan stay, Dr. Jennifer Walden became an associate of the globally-famous aesthetic plastic surgeon, Dr. Sherrell Aston, and she remained there for the next eight years.
Dr. Jennifer Walden enjoyed her time in NYC, but got homesick for Austin as she prepared for single motherhood, her choice. Today, she's the proud mom of fraternal twins Rex and Houston and happy she can raise her boys in her hometown near her friends and family.
Manhattan's loss is certainly Texas' gain, because Dr. Jennifer Walden's rising star has gained huge momentum. She's considered one of the top aesthetic plastic surgeons in the United States. Plus, she's a really nice gal.

Cedar Falls - Hocking Hills State Park
GPS Tracking: 39.417215,-82.525359
Cedar Falls is one of the six major areas of Hocking Hills State Park. Old Man's Cave, Ash Cave, Rock House, Conkle's Hollow, Cedar Falls and Cantwell Cliffs. Each of the regions has a distinct character all its own. All have unique and wonderfully relaxing Ohio cabins nearby.
Each of the park areas offer a unique experience for those who walk their paths. From hemlock-lined trails, to huge rock formation, waterfalls to rock bridges, guests to the park are sure to treasure their explorations for years to come. Rich in forested areas and natural wonders, there are over 25 miles of hiking trails in the Hocking Hills State Park system.
At Cedar Falls, a waterfall that is picture-perfect and craggy, beautiful cliffs bring folks back from year to year. There are a couple bridges and hemlocks line the trail.
One of the more popular trails is Cedar Falls. Visitors to the trail have said it is like stepping into an enchanted forest. Huge hemlocks, well-worn paths and rugged cliffs line much of the trail. At one time, a grist mill was located at the top of the falls where a newly constructed bridge now stands. If you look closely at the stream from the bridge, you can see the remnants of the old mill.Huge snapping turtles live deep in the pool beneath the waterfall. Watch just below the cliff edge, you may see them basking in the early morning sun.
Length: The trail is about a 1/2 mile and takes about 40 minutes to hike.

A convicted murderer wrote in his clemency application that he wanted freedom in order to achieve "closure to a bad decision I made at age 20 for the victim's family as well as my family. To put this behind us and move on." The word closure would never get clemency from me, but I'm more concerned with the use of bad decision. Not plugging the parking meter is a bad decision. Clubbing an 84-year-old man to death while robbing his grocery store needs stronger language.
Bad decision reminds me of "The Euphemism Hall of Fame" by Mark Peters, published in Funny Times. The Hall includes badly sourced, used by errant journalists to describe their articles. It means "false," but it suggests that the sources are at fault, not the reporter who put the falsehoods in print. He just made a bad decision. Controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) is there too. "The Flight Safety Foundation writes that 'CFIT occurs when an airworthy aircraft under the control of the flight crew is flown unintentionally into terrain, obstacles or water, usually with no prior awareness by the crew.' According to my secret decoder ring, that's a plane crash." And subterranean strengths. "Name expert Maryanna Korwitts says people named Natalie have subterranean strengths — this might be the faintest, most backhanded praise of my lifetime. Roughly translated, 'Your daughter has subterranean strengths' means 'This kid has good points that are so hard to find, you need an oil drill the size of a dinosaur.' "
How excellent are they?
Two hundred and forty Arkansans will lose their jobs because a plant in Blytheville is being closed, its functions moved to China. A newspaper article quoted a management representative: "Peterson said Tuesday that employees will receive excellent benefits, including early retirement packages, severance and outplacement services."
Excellent benefits are like minor surgery — they're what the other fellow has. Our own unemployment benefits are nowhere near what we need and deserve, our surgery is the most major on record.

Risk Assessment Procedures and Related Activities
The auditor shall perform risk assessment procedures to provide a basis for the identification and assessment of risks of material misstatement at the financial statement and assertion levels. Risk assessment procedures by themselves, however, do not provide sufficient appropriate audit evidence on which to base the audit opinion.
Risk Assessment Methods
1. The risk assessment procedures shall include the following:
- Inquiries of management, and of others within the entity who in the auditor's judgment may have information that is likely to assist in identifying risks of material misstatement due to fraud or error.
- Analytical procedures.
- Observation and inspection.
2. The auditor shall consider whether information obtained from the auditor's client acceptance or continuance process is relevant to identifying risks of material misstatement.
3. If the engagement partner has performed other engagements for the entity, the engagement partner shall consider whether information obtained is relevant to identifying risks of material misstatement.
- Where the auditor intends to use information obtained from the auditor's previous experience with the entity and from audit procedures performed in previous audits, the auditor shall determine whether changes have occurred since the previous audit that may affect its relevance to the current audit.
- The engagement partner and other key engagement team members shall discuss the susceptibility of the entity's financial statements to material misstatement, and the application of the applicable financial reporting framework to the entity's facts and circumstances. The engagement partner shall determine which matters are to be communicated to engagement team members not involved in the discussion.
The Required Understanding of the Entity and Its Environment, Including the Entity's Internal Control:
The Entity and Its Environment
The auditor shall obtain an understanding of the following:
a. Relevant industry, regulatory, and other external factors including the applicable financial reporting framework.
b. The nature of the entity, including:
- its operations;
- its ownership and governance structures;
- the types of investments that the entity is making and plans to make, including investments in special-purpose entities; and
- the way that the entity is structured and how it is financed,
to enable the auditor to understand the classes of transactions, account balances, and disclosures to be expected in the financial statements.
- The entity's selection and application of accounting policies, including the reasons for changes thereto. The auditor shall evaluate whether the entity's accounting policies are appropriate for its business and consistent with the applicable financial reporting framework and accounting policies used in the relevant industry.
- The entity's objectives and strategies, and those related business risks that may
result in risks of material misstatement.
- The measurement and review of the entity's financial performance.
The Entity's Internal Control
The auditor shall obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit. Although most controls relevant to the audit are likely to relate to financial reporting, not all controls that relate to financial reporting are relevant to the audit. It is a matter of the auditor's professional judgment whether a control, individually or in combination with others, is relevant to the audit.
Nature and Extent of the Understanding of Relevant Controls
When obtaining an understanding of controls that are relevant to the audit, the auditor shall evaluate the design of those controls and determine whether they have been implemented, by performing procedures in addition to inquiry of the entity's personnel.
Components of Internal Control
Control environment
The auditor shall obtain an understanding of the control environment. As part of obtaining this understanding, the auditor shall evaluate whether:
- Management, with the oversight of those charged with governance, has created and maintained a culture of honesty and ethical behavior; and
- The strengths in the control environment elements collectively provide an appropriate foundation for the other components of internal control, and whether those other components are not undermined by deficiencies in the control environment.
The entity's risk assessment process
The auditor shall obtain an understanding of whether the entity has a process for:
- Identifying business risks relevant to financial reporting objectives;
- Estimating the significance of the risks;
- Assessing the likelihood of their occurrence; and
- Deciding about actions to address those risks.
If the entity has established such a process (referred to hereafter as the "entity's risk assessment process"), the auditor shall obtain an understanding of it, and the results thereof. If the auditor identifies risks of material misstatement that management failed to identify, the auditor shall evaluate whether there was an underlying risk of a kind that the auditor expects would have been identified by the entity's risk assessment process. If there is such a risk, the auditor shall obtain an understanding of why that process failed to identify it, and evaluate whether the process is appropriate to its circumstances or determine if there is a significant deficiency in internal control with regard to the entity's risk assessment process.
If the entity has not established such a process or has an ad hoc process, the auditor shall discuss with management whether business risks relevant to financial reporting objectives have been identified and how they have been addressed. The auditor shall evaluate whether the absence of a documented risk assessment process is appropriate in the circumstances, or determine whether it represents a significant deficiency in internal control.

My Very Own French Connection — i really like this car, but what i really could ask more of this car is that to me luxurious on the inside and a little bit more smooth when it comes to engine... For every thing else regarding this car, nothing could be mentioned and if you are really into hardcore performance, everybody should check for the Renault 19 F16 i.e.
Pros: Looks really good if always maintained
Cons: opposite to positives plus expensive spare parts

Crazy!!! — This car is an unbelievable car. It is really cheap, old, ugly and has a 1.6 liter petrol engine which produces 90bhp. Why I call this car crazy? First, with its small amount of horsepower, it has a low weight, and with its help the car accelerates from zero to 60mph around 9 secs. It has a stop distance of 54 meters from 100km/h to 0. And it has NO HANDLİNG!! You enter a corner, release the gas, and rotate, but it keeps going forwards if you have a little speed. I love it because when you crash into the electric lights with 80km/h or hit the pavements sideways, nothing happens to the car except minor things like a broken headlight glass or a damaged rim. It is really, really solid. We crashed this car accidentally into a 2002 Mercedes-Benz S500L with a speed of 60km/h, andthe Mercedes was gone. Our rnault only needed a change of the bonnet, a new front bumper, a new ront gril and a couple of headlights and that was all. The damage of the Mercedes was unbelievable.
Pros: Extremely solid, cheap, incredible acceleration due to its horsepower.
Cons: Ugly, no brakes, no handling, no airbags, no air condition, no ABS, no nothing.

Growing up in the province, it was a norm to spend lazy afternoons at the farm; lounging in a hammock under the tree or simply killing time chatting with beloved friends. Nowadays, you will rarely find farms in the Sta. Rosa – Binan area. Everything has been commercialized, all you would see is a never-ending stretch of shops and commercial buildings.
It's a refreshing change of landscape when a friend invited us to their newly-opened wake park. They were generous enough to let us laze around the park for the whole day for free! The park is surrounded by trees, giving the place a cool and breezy ambiance. They also have a mini-zoo with chickens, ducks, birds & horses. Kids will surely enjoy the scenery and the experience.
They offer wakeskating lessons and you may use their boards if you don't have one. The water is only waist-deep. I have not tried wakeskating but will definitely join in the fun when we come back. From what I've seen, it would take maybe 4 to 5 attempts before you can stand on the board and run the course – at least halfway! There are a lot of friendly tambays (idlers) in the park who are always ready to cheer on and build your confidence.
The park is still work in progress. You'd still need to fetch some water for flushing the toilet and taking a bath. Lightings have yet to be installed as well as grills for barbecuing. I can't wait to see the end result of this project. Surely people will come in droves once the park is fully accessible to the public.

John Dewar & Sons, a member of the Bacardi family of spirits, produces several blends of high-quality Scotch whisky at seven distilleries located throughout Scotland. In Aberfeldy, Macduff, Aultmore, Craigellachie, and Nairn, as well as at aging, blending, and packaging facilities in Glasgow and Poniel, the Dewar's team produces a line of spirits deeply entwined with the history of the Scottish Highlands. Recently, Dewar's refurbished its Aberfeldy Distillery to highlight its rich heritage.
Taking great care to preserve most of the building's original architecture, Dewar's Aberfeldy Distillery heritage center pays homage to more than 160 years of whisky production. The center also boasts an archive wall, displaying vintage signs and advertising materials that offer a glimpse into the brand development of one of the world's top producers of Scotch whisky.
The heritage center's design incorporates dramatic focal points inspired by the distillery itself. To travel from the heritage center to the distillery's hosting area, visitors pass through a stave tunnel lined with oak casks, and in one room, an artisan light fixture sparkles with hand-blown glass droplets designed to resemble drops of whisky. Visitor attractions at Dewar's Aberfeldy Distillery also include an on-site café, as well as a dramming bar complete with a fireplace and hand-crafted furniture that creates a cozy yet elegant ambience.
Where It All Began
Each year, thousands of guests tour the Aberfeldy Distillery to learn about the Dewar's family and their world-renowned Scotch whiskies. In many ways, Aberfeldy serves as the spiritual home of the company, as it lies just three miles from the childhood home of John Dewar & Son's eponymous patriarch.
Born in 1805 to a crofting family, John Dewar was the seventh of nine siblings. He grew up on a farm near Aberfeldy, Scotland in the village of Dull, where he completed an apprenticeship as a joiner. At 23, John moved to the Scottish city of Perth to work at a wine and spirits company owned by his uncle, Alex MacDonald. Nine years of hard work earned him a partnership in the newly renamed MacDonald & Dewar, and he remained with the firm until 1846.
Following the dissolution of the partnership, Dewar launched his own wine and spirit venture. At the time, Cognac and Irish whiskeys were most popular drinks, but John Dewar strived to make Scotch the preferred beverage of the Scots. He soon began purchasing stocks from other companies to blend into a product with a unique, mellow flavor. An industry pioneer, John Dewar was one of the first spirits producers to package his product in glass bottles instead of pottery.
Building a Family Business
John's wife, Jane Gow, became pregnant shortly after marrying John Dewar in 1845, and the couple went on to have 10 children. Their second-oldest son, John Alexander Dewar, joined his father's business in 1871 and rose to the position of partner in 1879. One year later, his father passed away.
John Alexander honored his father's memory by taking charge of the young family business, which would have been valued at over 2 million GBP in today's currency. His 17-year-old brother Tommy joined him at the helm in 1881, becoming a partner himself in 1885. Often considered the more sensible of the two brothers, John Alexander was a skilled blender who served as the mastermind behind company's business operations.
But while John's steady hand would help grow the brand into a globally prominent spirits producer, Tommy's creative genius also played significant role in spurring the company to widespread success. Tommy Dewar was well-known for developing brilliant marketing strategies that engaged people around the world with the Dewar's brand. One effective strategy involved Tommy requesting Dewar's whisky at local clubs—establishments that he knew did not yet serve his brand—and then sending one of his salesmen to the bar a few days later.
The Dewar brothers initially leased the Tullymet Distillery to produce their whisky. However, as proprietors of a rapidly expanding firm, they soon decided that it was time to build their own production facility. In 1898, John Dewar & Sons took on the title of both blender and distiller with the completion of its Aberfeldy Distillery.
Honoring a Sustainable History
Sustainable development has always been an important part of the company culture at John Dewar & Sons, and the Aberfeldy Distillery reflects this value. The on-site café offers guests a selection of hot and cold dishes, including fresh soups and baked goods, made each day from local ingredients. By sourcing locally, the café can ensure the quality of its products while removing the environmental impact posed by shipping goods.
The Aberfeldy Distillery also follows an extensive recycling program and uses fuel-efficient transportation throughout its grounds. Even its tour buses are capable of carrying bicycles, thus allowing visitors to take in the sites while minimizing their carbon footprints.
Over the past few years, Dewar's has reached a number of sustainability milestones across all of its malt distilleries. The company has achieved a 34 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions since 2006, cut water use by 46 percent since 2009, and since 2010, it has cut its volume of landfill waste by 30 percent.
These efforts fall in line with Good Spirited: Building a Sustainable Future, Bacardi's global sustainability initiative. Launched in 2006, the environmental strategy spans Bacardi's entire portfolio of more than 200 companies, and seeks to meet specific sustainability goals in the areas of product sourcing, packaging, and operational efficiency.

Mobility and Wireless
An increasingly mobile workforce demands enterprise class mobility solutions: fast, cloud managed wireless, secure connections, and support for BYOD. Find out how we deliver best-in-class performance to our customers.
Cloud managed wireless is really cool. Increasingly, we're seeing organisations having to get serious about their wireless. Why? Because:
Help is at hand, The latest generation of cloud based wireless networks, implemented by Project Vision using technology from Meraki will allow you to deploy an enterprise class, compliant secure wireless network for your organisation without breaking the bank.
We've got lots of expertise with wireless, with big organisations and small, and we will help you get to where you need to be.
Year after year, network security is reported by analysts as the number one fear of IT managers. OK, so we're all scared. Now what? Well, some things are true:
So what to do? Well we're here to help. Our approach is to help you develop a layered, structured response to your security challenges. We start by working with you to understand where you are right now, and then we work with you to develop a plan that covers the three key areas:
Out of this comes a security plan that is right for your organisation and your budget. We will then help you implement this using the right tools and components, and then we will help you monitor your defences to make sure that they are working.
We are also able to provide security testing and audit, including internal and external penetration testing.
Remember when building networks was easy? 1998 – HP or IBM servers, Dell or Compaq desktops, Cisco network, Windows everywhere. It was almost a template, and at that time, you looked at the massive market dominance of a Microsoft or a Cisco and wondered if they might ever be challenged again. It was no wonder that the world's most valuable companies list often featured half a dozen of the big IT players at the time.
After an era of Wintel dominance, the last five years have seen a sea change. In short, the Wintel world now accounts for 35% of personal computing, down from 96% a decade ago.
Where's the uptake? You already know. Apple and Android, driven by the smartphone and tablet boom. If ever there was a clear signal that BYOD is a tsunami and not a fad, this is it.
What's the implication for network managers?
Project Vision has extensive expertise in helping organisations implement networks to support BYOD.
We're moving or need to refurbish our building
Part of our network is old and may need a refresh or upgrade
We're unhappy with our current network support provider
We want to launch a new service. How can technology enable us?
We've inherited legacy network technology and need support
Our business needs to save money. Help us identify opportunities.

Better off NOW than in 1973?
Wouldn't one think that a half-black, half-white President of the United States would by a racial CONCILIATORY MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN?
One would think so, but that was never the plan. Racial tension is the "squirrel!" shout-out by our mainstream, lap-dog media to distract from the usurpation of liberty in our country.
Do you realize that if this country is under martial law, that Presidential elections can be suspended? This is a concern than Ben Carson has had for weeks(1).
"[B]ecause you have to recognize we have a rapidly increasing national debt, a very unstable financial foundation, and you have all of these things going on, like the ISIS crisis, that could very rapidly change things that are going on in our nation. And unless we begin to deal with these things in a comprehensive way and a logical way, there's no telling what could happen in just a matter of a couple of years, and particularly in a situation where we have a Senate and a Senate leader who has over 300 bills sitting on his desk, [who] will not bring them to the floor for a vote." (1)
Like I have said on this site bajillion times. Love of G-d and country are important, amount of melanin…not so much. Another point: Do we not kid around, have fun and laugh with our siblings? Of course we do! So, we are acting like siblings when we can have fun together and not be as thin-skinned as pre-pubescent girls about everything.
One time my boss and I were having a conversation about funny stereotypes blacks have about whites, and one is that whites, by and large are huge cat-owners in comparison to blacks. I think this is hilarious! However I get a kick out of the terms "Irish twins", "Irish pennant" and my fav…"Irish handcuffs"; a drink in each hand ha ha!
Let's "grow-up" and act FORTY ONE years younger…
Of the iconic picture featured:
In late July 1973, Joseph Crachiola was wandering the streets of Mount Clemens, Mich., a suburb of Detroit, with his camera. As a staff photographer for the Macomb Daily, he was expected to keep an eye out for good feature images — "those little slices of life that can stand on their own."
The slice of life he caught that day was a picture of five young friends in a rain-washed alley in downtown Mount Clemens. And what distinguishes it are its subjects: three black children, two white ones, giggling in each others' arms.
"It was just one of those evenings," Crachiola remembers. "I saw these kids — they were just playing around. And I started shooting some pictures of them. At some point, they saw me and they all turned and looked at me and struck that pose that you see in the picture. It was totally spontaneous. I had nothing to do with the way they arranged themselves."
Crachiola, who now lives in New Orleans, posted the vintage photo on his Facebook page.
"For me, it still stands as one of my most meaningful pictures," he wrote in his post. "It makes me wonder… At what point do we begin to mistrust one another? When do we begin to judge one another based on gender or race? I have always wondered what happened to these children. I wonder if they are still friends."
