The rumor mill was churning today, and begged me to take notice. I hate Kim Jong-un with a passion. What a douche. He is not a leader, but a dictator. That old rumor mill was spouting bits about Mr. Jong-un making his own personal hairstyle and cut the only style and cut available to male undergrads in North Korea. Imagine a country full of black haired Macklemores. I wasn't at all surprised, but on a search for more information, I found out this rumor was probably just that -- a rumor. Damn. I definitely wanted another reason to hate this guy. He's so hate-able already. Oh, and I finally got an opportunity to use my favorite photo of him above. Don't worry, though, because I'm pretty sure everyone still hates this guy. What a goober.
I am in the midst of making plans to visit New York City this spring after having stumbled across The High Line Park website earlier today. Few things catch my interest as much as this incredible idea for a park built on an abandoned rail line elevated to pass over city streets full of traffic below. What a brilliant solution to a tough problem.
As the city takes the shape of the needs of the current residents, there are bound to be problems that arise. Instead of investing good money into tearing down the elevated rail, it was thought that this could be the site of a public park in a locale where real estate is a commodity few can afford, and where green space is scarce.
Here is a history of the High Line as it is posted on their website:
1847 The City of New York authorizes street-level railroad tracks down Manhattan's West Side.
1851 – 1929 So many accidents occur between freight trains and street-level traffic that 10th Avenue becomes known as Death Avenue. For safety, men on horses, called the West Side Cowboys, ride in front of trains waving red flags.
1929 After years of public debate about the hazard, the City and State of New York and the New York Central Railroad agree on the West Side Improvement Project, which includes the High Line. The entire project is 13 miles long, eliminates 105 street-level railroad crossings, and adds 32 acres to Riverside Park. It costs over $150 million in 1930 dollars—more than $2 billion today.
1934 The High Line opens to trains. It runs from 34th Street to St. John's Park Terminal, at Spring Street. It is designed to go through the center of blocks, rather than over the avenue, to avoid creating the negative conditions associated with elevated subways. It connects directly to factories and warehouses, allowing trains to roll right inside buildings. Milk, meat, produce, and raw and manufactured goods come and go without causing street-level traffic.
1950s Growth of interstate trucking leads to a drop in rail traffic, nationally and on the High Line.
1960s The southernmost section of the High Line is demolished.
1980 The last train runs on the High Line pulling three carloads of frozen turkeys.
Mid-1980s A group of property owners lobbies for demolition of the entire structure. Members of this group own land under the High Line that was purchased at prices reflecting the High Line's easement. Peter Obletz, a Chelsea resident, activist, and railroad enthusiast, challenges demolition efforts in court and tries to re-establish rail service on the Line.
1999 Friends of the High Line is founded by Joshua David and Robert Hammond, residents of the High Line neighborhood, to advocate for the High Line's preservation and reuse as public open space.
2001 - 2002 The Design Trust for Public Space provides a fellowship for architect Casey Jones to conduct research and outreach for "Reclaiming the High Line," a planning study jointly produced by the Design Trust and Friends of the High Line, which lays out planning framework for the High Line's preservation and reuse.
March 2002 Friends of the High Line gains first City support—a City Council resolution advocating for the High Line's reuse.
October 2002 A study done by Friends of the High Line finds that the High Line project is economically rational: New tax revenues created by the public space will be greater than the costs of construction.
December 2002 The City files with the federal Surface Transportation Board for railbanking, making it City policy to preserve and reuse the High Line.
January – July 2003 An open ideas competition, "Designing the High Line," solicits proposals for the High Line's reuse. 720 teams from 36 countries enter. Hundreds of design entries are displayed at Grand Central Terminal. (View Competition Entries)
July 2003 Friends of the High Line and the City jointly testify before the Surface Transportation Board in support of High Line reuse.
March – September 2004 Mayor Bloomberg announces City funding for the High Line. Friends of the High Line and the City of New York conduct a process to select a design team for the High Line. The selected team is James Corner Field Operations, a landscape architecture firm, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, an architecture firm, and experts in horticulture, engineering, security, maintenance, public art, and other disciplines. (View the High Line Design)
September 2004 The State of New York, CSX Transportation, Inc. (the railroad company), and the City of New York jointly file with the Surface Transportation Board to railbank the High Line.
April 2005 An exhibition showcasing the preliminary design by James Corner Field Operations and Diller Scofidio + Renfro opens at the Museum of Modern Art.
June 2005 The Surface Transportation Board issues a Certificate of Interim Trail Use for the High Line, authorizing the City and railroad to conclude railbanking negotiations.
November 2005 The City takes ownership of the High Line from CSX Transportation, Inc., (which donates the structure), and the City and CSX sign a Trail Use Agreement. Taken together, these two actions effectively preserve the High Line south of 30th Street.
April 2006 Groundbreaking is celebrated on the High Line with the lifting of a rail track. The first phase of construction on Section 1 of the High Line begins. Construction begins on Section 1 (Gansevoort Street to 20th Street). Tracks, ballast, and debris are removed, and the tracks are mapped, tagged, and stored (some will be reinstalled in the park landscape). This is followed sandblasting of steel, repairs to concrete and drainage systems, and installation of pigeon deterrents underneath the Line. (View Construction Photos)
2008 Landscape Construction begins on Section 1, with construction and installation of pathways, access points, seating, lighting, and planting.
June 2008 Final designs are released for the High Line's transformation to a public park. (View the Final Designs)
June 9, 2009 Section 1 (Gansevoort Street to West 20th Street) opens to the public.
June 8, 2011 Section 2 (West 20th Street to West 30th Street) opens to the public.
April 25, 2012 The New York City Planning Commission votes unanimously to approve a zoning text amendment that secures the eastern portion of the High Line at the Rail Yards, including the 10th Avenue Spur, as public open space.
July 25, 2012 The High Line at the Rail Yards is saved. The City of New York acquires the title to the third and final section of the High Line from CSX Transportation, Inc., which donated the final portion of the structure to the City.
September 20, 2012 Groundbreaking is celebrated on the High Line at the Rail Yards. Construction proceeds in three phases, with the first phase projected to open in 2014.
Spring 2014 Nick's first visit to The High Line. (Hopefully Mike will join me--I haven't asked him yet!)
I really can't wait to visit. Spring can't come soon enough! The main images above and below this entry link to The High Line Organization website. All the information you need can be found there.
I'm not a huge fan of Glenn Beck, but I really appreciated this discussion about the Common Core. The Common Core will dictate what every student in the United States should know at the end of each grade from Kindergarten through 12th grade. In this YouTube segment, it is implied that Bill Gates (Microsoft), Yahoo, and Google are dumping millions of dollars into funding for the Common Core Initiative so that students will be educated in the ways of working for Microsoft, Yahoo, Google and the like.
Students, under the direction of teachers who have been taught everything they need to know to prepare students for work in technology related fields, will be funneled into huge corporations as employees that push power to the higher ranks. This will ensure that competition in the form of new upstarts will cease, and these already powerful corporations will become more powerful, and are guaranteed that power for years to come.
This scares the hell out of me. Topics like this have been written about by authors for centuries, and the books they produce have been labeled as dystopian fiction. This isn't fictional, this is real. Welcome to the United Corporations of America.

The following are the nominees for the 2014 Academy Awards (the ones I care about) announced by Cheryl Boone Isaacs, president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, on Thursday. For some strange reason, she was joined by "Hunger Games" actor Chris Hemsworth. Weird. I wonder who he had to screw to get that spot... Anyway, The Academy Awards will air live on ABC on March 2, starting at 7 p.m. ET. Share your picks in the comments.

U.S. to Recognize Utah Gay Marriages Despite State Stance
The Obama administration on Friday said that it will recognize as lawful the marriages of 1,300 same-sex couples in Utah, even though the state government is refusing to do so.
Wading into the fast-moving legal battle over same-sex marriage rights in one of America's most socially conservative states, the administration posted a video on the Justice Department's website. Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. said that the federal government will grant federal marriage benefits to the same-sex couples who had rushed to obtain marriage licenses after a federal judge last month unexpectedly struck down Utah's ban on same-sex marriage.
"I am confirming today that, for purposes of federal law, these marriages will be recognized as lawful and considered eligible for all relevant federal benefits on the same terms as other same-sex marriages," Mr. Holder said in the video. "These families should not be asked to endure uncertainty regarding their status as the litigation unfolds."
Click the article title for full coverage by the New York Times.
My feeling is one of cautious optimism. I think it's great that the U.S. government is going to step in and recognize these marriages, but I'm afraid how this will be viewed by those who advocate state sovereignty. That aside, I think our country is heading in the right direction in terms of recognizing the rights of homosexuals in general. When is Pennsylvania going to join the party?
Rev. Frank Schaefer was, under Methodist church law, sentenced to a thirty day suspension on Tuesday as the result of Monday's hearing which determined he broke his vows by officiating his son's marriage to another man. If, during those thirty days, Rev. Schaefer violates any church laws or breaks another vow, he will lose his credentials. More importantly, the church is calling on Rev. Schaefer to surrender his credentials if he decides he can't uphold all of the church's Book of Discipline.
Before the punishment ruling, Schaefer, who was convicted for officiating at his son's 2007 wedding ceremony in Massachusetts, told the jury Tuesday that he is unrepentant and refused to promise he wouldn't perform more gay unions.
Rather than beg for mercy Tuesday in the trial that has rekindled debate within the nation's largest mainline Protestant denomination over church policies on homosexuality and same-sex marriage, the pastor upped the stakes, telling jurors that he has been called by God to be an advocate for the rights of gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgendered people.
The church "needs to stop judging people based on their sexual orientation,'' he said. "We have to stop the hate speech. We have to stop treating them as second-class Christians.''
Schaefer donned a rainbow-colored stole on the witness stand and told jurors it symbolized his commitment to the cause.
"I will never be silent again,'' he said, as some of his supporters wept in the gallery. "This is what I have to do.''
> NBC Philadelphia's Coverage of the Story
Last night, I was watching documentaries on Netflix with my boyfriend Corey. One of them was called "Park Avenue: Money, Power, and the American Dream," which features clips of Ayn Rand speaking about her vision of Laissez Faire Capitalism. This brought me into research mode, wanting to find out a little more about the Ayn Rand Institute. I have loved Ayn Rand and "Atlas Shrugged" for years, but I never knew that ARI was a political powerhouse. On my quest, I came across an article George Saunders had written for the New Yorker called "I Was Ayn Rand's Lover."
I had known about Ayn Rand's affair with Nathaniel Branden from reading her many biographies, in particular "The Passion of Ayn Rand." It creeped me out quite a bit back then, but now to see that she prowled on more than one innocent young man left me with a sour taste. If you know Ayn Rand and her philosophy of Objectivism, you wouldn't be too surprised that Nathaniel Branden was a target on her radar. To hear Saunders recount his having essentially been "raped" by her was a little off-putting to say the least, but his developing jealousy over Ayn having set her eyes on a young Paul Ryan disturbed me. It wasn't his feelings of jealousy that disturbed me, rather her voracious appetite for bedding young men in late puberty is what was particularly disturbing.
So, we now know of three men in their late teens who were successfully pursued by Ayn Rand. There are probably plenty more, but my interest stops there. Seeing Paul Ryan run wild with Ayn's version of Laissez Faire Capitalism as it pertains to our present day economy was like being punched in the gut by Ayn Rand herself. All of her theories sound good as just that -- a theory, but when put into practice as Paul Ryan has done as a congressman, they are truly frightening. I don't know what plagues me more: the affairs with young boys, or being disillusioned by Paul Ryan's crazy plans for American prosperity.
To understand what I'm talking about, you'll have to do a little research. Most of it can be done by watching the "Park Avenue" documentary, reading "Atlas Shrugged," "The Passion of Ayn Rand" (also a film), and then reading George Saunder's New Yorker piece (which is very well-written, I might add). It amounts to a sick feeling in the pit of your stomach, I'll bet, because that's what I'm feeling right now. It can all be summed up in one word: UGH!
Watch the entire "Park Avenue" documentary:
Barbara Branden (Nathaniel Branden's wife) on The Passion of Ayn Rand:
I have been living in constant worry about what might happen if our economy collapses, which almost happened yesterday. Luckily, the government came to an agreement to put a stop to the shutdown, averting an economic crisis. The citizens of Venezuela, whose economy collapsed in the early 90's, were not so lucky, and were forced to find means to live where there were no means. In this TED Talk video, we find incredible ingenuity in the Venezuelan people, who took to an abandoned tower to build their homes. The "Tower of David" is a small city within a city, becoming home to hundreds of people, stores, taxis, and services like barber shops and electronics repair. It's rough around the edges, but it is so inspiring to see how these people adapted to the changing times, and utilized everything around them to make a "new normal." Here's one of my favorite TED Talks, "Ingenious Homes in Unexpected Places," given by Iwan Baan:
Award-Winning Journalist and Commentator Bill Moyers gets right to the heart of what the shutdown and debt ceiling threats are all about. He's right on, and it's very scary. Will the republicans really let us default? Is this the end of democracy? Should we all leave the country and emigrate to Canada? I'm seriously thinking about it, and thank God I'm a Democrat. Here's what Bill Moyers says in the "about" section of the video on YouTube, video to follow:
"This week's government shutdown has consequences for all of us, costing an estimated $300 million each day that the government is closed for business. Many Americans have voiced their frustrations with the fallout from the shutdown on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter using the hash tag #DearCongress. Here, Bill Moyers shares his own frustrations, admonishing the Republican Party for holding the country hostage via an irrational "ransom list" of demands — while sabotaging democracy in the process. "When the President refused to buckle to this extortion, they threw their tantrum," Bill says. "Like the die-hards of the racist South a century and a half ago, who would destroy the union before giving up their slaves, so would these people burn down the place, sink the ship." He goes on to tell us where the "reckless ambition" of the Republicans could lead us."
A poll released by Public Policy Polling reveals a hilarious list of all the unpleasant things that people like more than the current Congress. People were directly asked: "What do you have a higher opinion of: Congress or cockroaches?" And so it went, for 25 questions.
A total of 830 people were surveyed, and said they liked a number of detested creatures and institutions more than the U.S. Congress. In the end, the Washington Times writes, "Congress is less popular than carnies, root canals and colonoscopies, but more popular than the ebola virus, meth labs and gonorrhea."
According to Public Policy Polling, here is a list of things people now like more than Congress:
I, personally, like a lot of detestable things more than congress, but, being a gentleman, I won't say what they are. ;) Pass this along to your friends, family, and coworkers. It's all fun and games when polling like this takes place, but there is a definite impending doom if the government can't agree on a budget. Please search the net for local petitions, write to your state reps, mayors, and local officials and tell them that you want this to end. Let your voice be heard!
Listen, I understand the importance of the government shutdown and the roll-out of Obama Care, but that feeling of urgency is secondary to the most important things in my life. I have been blessed with the most amazing friends, family, therapist, and doctors a person could ever have. While I know it is imperative that we settle this impasse in government funding of the Affordable Care Act, I have a treatment team which includes my amazing therapist Nancy, who I can depend on to take good care of me despite the government being shuttered and all the problems surrounding enrollment in the Affordable Care Act.
My therapist would never let me go without care, neither would my doctors, friends, or family. I don't depend on the government to take care of me. I depend on my support system. I just feel so sorry for those Americans who have no one to depend on to take care of them should their health insurance or assistance be interrupted because of the government hullabaloo. I feel even sorrier for those people who have no one to advocate for them, ensuring they receive continued treatment--the best treatment for them--come hell or high water. It is so unfortunate that those people happen to be the most vulnerable: the homeless, the elderly, the mentally ill, the addicts, and the minorities.
Many would argue that they work long and hard to receive the health care that they have, but they are the ones who have it and never use it except for the routine check-up. My best advice for those in need of care, in any capacity, is to seek out community assistance and treatment. Most counties, and definitely those in Pennsylvania, have set aside funds to help members of their community in need of treatment and medical assistance. Community or county assistance is among the best resources in the country because they are invested in making sure that members of their immediate communities are well taken care of. Local constituents may also be of help, because they, just like the county, want to ensure that their communities aren't plagued by vagrants and crime. Safe, clean communities ensure these constituents will be re-elected time and time again.
Please, please e-mail me if you need help. I live in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and would be more than happy to help anyone local to me. Even if you aren't local, I'll help you as much as I can by doing research, making calls, or whatever else you may need. I want to help you just like I was helped when I was in need. I lay awake at night thinking of all the people in the world who die on the streets or alone in their homes because they have no one to care about them. I am here to tell you that I care. If you have a loved one that you'd like to help, but don't know where to begin, let me know. You have my word that I will do anything and everything I can to help. No matter who you are.
It's all over the web. The government has officially shut down as of midnight on Tuesday, just as Obama Care went into effect. The shutdown is costing tax payers up to $300 Million per day, just because appointed government officials couldn't muster the effort or intelligence it takes to do their jobs. It is a sad, sad day for America.
Speaking of Obama Care, open enrollment began last night at midnight, and the system it is using is so poorly designed that I couldn't seem to enroll to save my life. I enrolled once, and when I reached the end and pressed "submit," it gave me an error message and a link to try again from the beginning. When I tried again and pressed "submit," it said that my "first/last name combination, and username/password combination is not unique." No kidding! This had better be fixed soon or else there will be hell to pay as Americans trying to enroll are being refused left and right because of glitches in the site's infrastructure. You can try to enroll at www.healthcare.gov, but be warned: it probably won't work.

I was talking with my dad this afternoon about Obama Care, officially known as the Affordable Care Act, and in talking, we both realized we know little to nothing about how this HUGE reform is going to affect us. I was really curious so I began researching and came across this cute little cartoon that very simply explains how everything in the Act pertains to each person in American society: the employee, the retiree, the rich, the poor, and everyone in between. It's very straight forward, and very effective in explaining the Affordable Care Act so that anyone can understand it.
Here is the link to the official HealthCare.gov website, and you can go here to see how and when changes will take effect in your home state. I understand it's an issue that's in hot debate, but if we don't get ready for it, as they say in the video, we'll be left out in the cold. I hope this helps. Here's the video:
Toni Morrison's Work "The Bluest Eye" is Called Pornographic by Ohio Board of Education President Debe Terhar
"Toni Morrison's debut novel The Bluest Eye is a widely acknowledged masterpiece. Its literary reputation, however, has done little to placate wannabe censors who have tried to discredit and even ban the book from schools, citing depictions of incest and child molestation as "pornographic" and "totally inappropriate" for students.
Click here to send a petition letter to Debe Terhar and Mark Smith of The Ohio Board of Education, and the ACLU. This is the best and easiest way to let your voice be heard. Don't let great works of literature be banned from the classroom. These works are invaluable, and students are being robbed of the exposure to these works. Fight against it by sending your message to the people who matter.
UPDATE 09/27/13: Toni Morrison won! "The Bluest Eye" will stay on the curriculum! Read more here.
A Touching Display of Support for LGBT Community by Italian Government Officials when told "Gay People are Inappropriate"
Italian Government Officials took to a creative protest when they were faced with the sentiment that "gay people are inappropriate." They began holding up signs, kissing and hugging members of the same sex, and kept this up for a few minutes. Take a look at the video here, and read the article in Upworthy here.
Pope Francis Says Church is Obsessed with Gays, Abortion, and Birth Control and Wants to Make it a "Home for All"
Pope Francis, the coolest Pope ever in my opinion, blasted the Catholic Church by saying it is "obsessed with gays, abortion, and birth control." More sensible words were never spoken. He went on to say he refused to discuss these issues, and wants to focus on making the church a '"home for all' and not a 'small chapel' focused on doctrine, orthodoxy and a limited agenda of moral teachings." Read the full New York Times article here.
BuzzFeed published a few strings of tweets, and I have to warn you: they're shocking. People are outraged that an Indian-American woman, Nina Davuluri of New York, would be crowned Miss America, especially so close to 9/11.
I don't see what being Indian-American has to do with anything. She is a beautiful girl, she's intelligent, and she deserved to win. Now there are race wars being fought through 140 character tweets. White people are saying, "But, this is America!" And people of Indian descent are calling white people "inbreds."
It's shocking to me that a fight would go on like this over the ethnicity of the newly crowned Miss America. I thought we were passed that, but with a contender like Miss Kansas, Miss New York never had a chance in the minds of Americans. People are just mad Kansas lost.
This amazing new Chipotle Mexican Grill ad on YouTube depicts a scarecrow as a farmer who gets a glimpse into the world of corporate farming, genetically engineered foods, and inhumane treatment of farm animals for the purpose of maximizing profits in restaurant chains across the globe.
The short film is accompanied by a track of Fiona Apple singing "Pure Imagination", a cover of a song from the Willy Wonka movie soundtrack. Stunning. Visit their website for more information.
I find this video shocking. I would honestly think Syrian citizens would be afraid of a strike, but here they are begging for one against Assad. If the US can pinpoint Assad's location so as not to harm innocent people, I'm for it. This video swayed my opinion. I just don't want the US to become embroiled in the civil war there. What do you think?

Lili St. Cyr - How the Beauty of a Nude Pinup Goddess Brought Vegas to Its Knees
1950s stripper and nude pinup girl Lili St. Cyr captured the eyes of some of the hottest photographers of her time, but her ambition took her off the pages of magazines and onto the stage in an upstart city called Las Vegas where her vision of over the top, larger than life shows and oozing sexuality captivated crowds and helped create an entire industry.

Lili's burlesque and modeling career gets off to a humble, but sexy start
With her blonde hair, long legs, sexy body and incredible good looks, Lili St. Cyr was born to be a star. Born July 3, 1918 in Minneapolis, Minnesota (USA) Lili's early life was pretty typical. As the burlesque and stripping scene started growing in the 1950s, she decided to give it a try and see if she had what it took. Her first official job was dancing in a chorus line at Hollywood, California (USA).
The crowds loved her incredible body and flawless breasts so Lili, with the help of a few others, struck out on her own to do a show. At 5 feet 9 inches (1.75 m) tall, Lili stood tall among the other dancers, but it was her show-stopping 36-24-36 (91-61-91 cm) frame that called all eyes to her when she took the stage. The shows weren't very good at first, but this goddess of Burlesque had charm and charisma in spades. It didn't hurt that her body was flawless, and her perfect, perky tits could nearly hypnotize you as they bounced and jiggled.
Within two years, Lili St. Cyr had discovered her first trademark move. At the end of the show, a guy would come out on stage with a fishing rod. It was attached to Lili's G-string. He would pull on the pole, and her panties would fly off, sailing through the air and landing in the rafters causing the lights to dim. It brought the house down and would become known as "The Flying G". It would be a staple of her act for years to come.
Early in her dancing career Lili St. Cyr was approached by a number of photographers who wanted to shoot her for a variety of men's magazines. Her first shoots varied from her wearing sexy lingerie or skimpy bathing suits to her wearing nothing but a smile as she posed in some very tasteful nude positions. Lili was never one to go full frontal, but she wasn't shy about showing off her fabulous boobs or the incredible, mouth-watering curves of her body. This vintage pornstar knew you didn't have to show your pussy to turn people on. She could make guys melt in her hands with a wink of the eye, a turn of the hip, and a flash of a tit!

Lili's burlesque show ignites Las Vegas and sparks a sexual revolution
It had been roughly 20 years since Las Vegas had legalized gambling, and the city was growing by leaps and bounds. Desperate for entertainment acts that might draw people to Las Vegas, casinos started expanding the type of entertainment they offered. Lili St. Cyr was one of the first burlesque dancers to be offered her own show.
Lili's shows fit the glitz and glam of Las Vegas perfectly. They were over the top with larger than life costumes, big dance numbers and plenty of nudity. She would take a bubble bath on stage, letting the crowd soak in her nude body as she sang and scrubbed away.
By the way, you'll fall in love with these super sexy pornstars:

» Bobbie Reynolds - Blonde Spiderpool Girl with Big Tits and a Megawatt Smile
» Bonnie Logan - Epitome of the Wild Busty Pin-up Beauty of Vaudeville and Burlesque Shows
» Candy Barr - Prostitute, Highest Paid Nude Stripper and America's First Pornstar
This retro striptease dancer was one of the first to do the reverse strip where she came out naked and slowly put on clothes as the act went on. She knew bigger was better, and delivered shows that were entertaining, fun and so sexy they could bring you to your knees and have you worshiping and her alter. Lili's act was so intoxicating Marilyn Monroe attended several of her shows so she could study her moves. Later Ms. Monroe would mimic those moves in various movie roles.
Lili St. Cyr was so popular in Las Vegas she was recruited by famed photographer Irving Klaw to be in his movie "brightest stars in Burlesque. Lily and legend Bettie Page headlined the movie that showed these sexy ladies shaking their breasts, grinding their hips and stripping off their clothes as only they could.
With Lili leading the way, more and more casinos started offering burlesque and strip shows. To this day, they are a mainstay of Las Vegas entertainment.

Lili St. Cyr makes movies and becomes a nude icon
With her success as a Las Vegas showgirl driving her, Lili was more in demand as a model than ever before. She graced the cover of "Glamorous Models" magazine and shocked the world when she appeared nearly nude on the cover of "People". There was a naked revolution sweeping the nation and Lili St. Cyr was one of its faces.
In 1947, Lili was arrested at the celebrity.

Anderson joins 500 club but Windies recovery keeps Test decider in balance
James Anderson claimed his 500th Test wicket but West Indies recovered from a rocky start to their second innings to lead England by 22 runs in a finely poised third Test.
Having started day two 46-4 in response to the Windies' first-innings total of 123, England largely continued to struggle with the bat.
But a half-century from Ben Stokes (60) and Stuart Broad's 45-ball 38 helped England reach 194 all out, a lead of 71 despite Kemar Roach getting on the Lord's honours board after taking 5-72.
Anderson (2-17) needed just 18 balls to join Glenn McGrath and Courtney Walsh as the three seamers in the 500 club, demolishing the middle stump of Kraigg Brathwaite (4).
Kyle Hope (1) was trapped lbw by Broad to leave the tourists on 21-2 but Kieran Powell (45), who eventually became Anderson's 501st victim, and Shai Hope (35 not out) repaired the damage to take them to the close on 93-3, still very much in contention to claim a first Test series win since 2014 and a first in England since 1988.
Here it is! 500th Test wicket for @Jimmy9!!! #Jimmy500-- England Cricket (@englandcricket) September 8, 2017

Dawid Malan's indifferent start to his Test career continued when he was caught behind for 20 off Roach before rain forced an early lunch.
Stokes was then dropped on 23 by Kyle Hope and he and Jonny Bairstow made the Winides pay with an impressive stand of 56.
Bairstow went leg before for 21, with Stokes following him in strange fashion as Shannon Gabriel (1-64) skittled him twice in three balls, the first ruled a no-ball that the seamer responded to by clattering one into middle stump.
Roach's five-for came as Moeen Ali (3) was caught in the gully and Toby Roland-Jones (13) also went cheaply before a series of lusty blows from Broad pushed England towards 200.
Broad bottom-edged Jason Holder (4-54) to Shane Dowrich to end the innings, but the momentum in the match was quickly back with England as Anderson reached his milestone.
Anderson received a standing ovation after deceiving Brathwaite with an in-swinger and Broad soon got in on the act as Kyle Hope failed again after going for a duck in the first innings.
Powell was dropped on two by Stokes off Broad and, though Anderson eventually bowled him, he and England will have been frustrated not to have made further inroads as the Windies continue to threaten what would be a humiliating defeat for England.

i had the pleasure of throwing my dearest friend a mama shower (this is her fourth...so i made it a mama shower rather than a baby shower...she deserves it.) this past saturday! it was so much fun to throw a party. i loved putting in all the little details and trying to create a shower that just basically showered her! enjoy the pics!
here were the invites i sent out with a little note of blessing to get her some housekeeping money and/or prego massage and any other "big" items to bless her with. also i sent out a note card for everyone to bring with a special note or verse on it for her.
ok so i had envisioned a tissue pom pom ceiling on my back patio out to the grass and it totally came out. it was so much fun to see all those pom poms!
here's the table. it turned out so pretty. so i really envisioned some white roses, rannucluas, and peonies for the table center pieces, but unfortunately there were none to be found on friday. but luckily a friend of mine had just had a party and made tissue paper flowers just like my tissue paper pom poms out of white tissue so i was able to use them for the center pieces and they looked fabulous!
so for the favors i made these flower pins to try and replicate the pom pom theme i was going for. they turned out pretty good and i was so stoked to be able to use them as napkin rings for the table! and the little dress off to the left is a paper origami dress a friend made for everyone too of verses from proverbs 31. the place mats we made out of plain gray scrapbook paper and martha stewart's fancy paper punches. they turned out so great! although probably our most time consuming project.
so this is an old window frame that i stapled twine on the back of and hung the notes and verses to the mama from everyone.
the menu::sundried tomato pesto bowtie pasta with pine nuts and kalamata olives, spinach salad with pomegrante seeds, dried cranberries, sliced raw almonds and goat cheese with a homemade balsamic vinegarette, veggie and hummus plate, fruit plate and honey goat cheese plate with crackers and basil lemonade. yum!
the dessert table. ok so a friend made this cake...it was absolutely gorgeous and seriously the best cake you possibly have ever eaten. it was to die for. i made a pom pom banner for it to match the invites that i had made for the shower. turned out quite cute i thought. and i also made some coconut cupcakes which were quite yummy too.
there's all the lovely ladies. the mama is in black right in the middle. although she is ready for baby to come she doesn't even look prego in this picture! love you precious friend!
and on a sidenote, just in case you are a regular on my blog...as you can see, i haven't posted in quite awhile...well i am on a blogging break. once baby no three turned four months i had to give up all computer time. then i hired some help so i could get some work done (my part time job:pinkpenny album design) and those hours are precious working time and not extra for me to even post. so just so you know this is probably the last post for another long while.

Bow your heads in a sign of gratitude and respect. This is Dusty's last pictorial, as she was at 90HHH, one of the greatest of all megaboob stars. Last March she made the decision to have her massive implants removed and end her successful striptease career. No longer will we see fabuloso Dusty on stage, pulling guys' heads to her huge tits. In high school, Dusty earned a cosmetology license. She worked in a salon on a cruise ship and specialized in hairstyling. It was a problematic journey to Brazil that led Dusty to the world of exotic dancing and ultraboob stardom. Some of the details are available in Dusty's interview in the April '95 issue, along with one of her classic photo sets (as an English-styled riding lady). Dusty's "mainstream media" exposure began with several guest apearances on Howard Stern's original (and best) TV show, broadcast on WOR-New Jersey. She quickly became a SCORE star and was a popular guest on Boob Cruise 2, 3 and 4. On the Boob Cruises, she indulged in…

Syrian government aircraft have dropped so-called barrel bombs on rebel positions in Aleppo for the eighth day, killing dozens of people. Elsewhere, further airstrikes and a suicide blast have caused more deaths.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said at least 42 people were killed in Sunday's attacks in Aleppo. Observatory director Rami Abdurrahman said the death toll could rise because 17 of the wounded were in critical condition.
"They hit a convoy of cars on a road in Hanano, many cars were destroyed. There were civilians there," Abdurrahman added.
"The medics say they are removing people in parts; they aren't sure how many there are," said Hassoun Abu Faisal, an activist with the Aleppo Media Center. He said the bombs hit vehicles lining a main road, destroyed a two-story building and left a crater in a market place.
The aerial bombardment of rebel areas in the northern city of Aleppo began on December 15. More than 200 people have been killed in the strikes and many residential buildings have been destroyed. The city's hospitals have been hard pressed to cope with casualties.
The barrel bombs dropped from helicopters are barrels filled with explosives and fuel that cause widespread damage on impact.
Syrian officials have not commented on the air raids.
Attack on school
In central Syria, a suicide bomber exploded a device near a primary school in the predominantly Shiite town of Umm al-Amed in Homs province. At least 12 people, half of them children, were killed according to the Observatory.
Syrian state media said eight people were killed and 34 were wounded in the attack, most of them children.
Border airstrike
There were also reports on Sunday that Syrian military aircraft bombed Bab al-Hawa, a border crossing to Turkey. According to Turkish media reports and local activists, the bombs hit the Syrian side of the crossing. Casualty numbers were not immediately clear. It is also not known why the area was targeted.

We ran the Value Add Sports calculations on all returning athletes in the state and emailed sports writers and other experts in the state to help rank the 25 state players to watch on a list we will update here.
Maty Mauk takes his chances, but with Evan Boehm clearing out defenders and the option of getting the ball to Russell Hansbrough the Tigers can certainly challenge in the SEC East.

- Maty Mauk, Missouri Tigers, Foot, QB
- Evan Boehm, Missouri Tigers, Foot, OLine

High school basketball stars include:
As you can see from this footage, St. Louis has produced another great basketball player in Jayson Tatum, who has the spin move, cross over and spot up long-range shot to be a star as he finishes at Chaminade High School.
K.J. Robinson, 6-0, Sr., (point guard), Blue Springs South High School (Blue Springs, Mo.) – Class 6 all-state, getting several Division I looks and offers (not committed yet). Helped team win first state championship in biggest class with Kevin Puryear (now at Missouri).

Two top-notch volleyball players will be back in the high school ranks:
Lexi (Alexis) Hart, 6-0, Sr., OH/MB, Truman High School (Independence, Mo.) – Evelyn Gates Award winner as the top volleyball player in the KC metro area (against some really tough competition and Division I athletes; first junior to ever win that award); Class 4 all-state first team; recruited by most of the top volleyball programs in the nation and verbally committed to Minnesota. Junior VB stats: 424 kills, .356 hitting percentage, 35 aces, 87.9 percent serving, 28 blocks (23 solo), 98 digs.

Also a starter and Examiner All-Area performer and starter on the Truman basketball squad, which won the district championship.
Alicia Starr, 6-0, sr., OH/S, Blue Springs High School (Blue Springs) – Also a big Division I recruit (verbally committed to South Carolina). All-state as a sophomore and junior.

Not your typical hammock
I'm sure that you've missed the Dharma Chameleon desperately, but please, [insert excuses here] kept me away from writing about my yogic journey, only. Rest assured that I've been out there more than ever…gittin' 'er dun.
Let it be known that I will fill all of my free time with yoga, and schedule days (not already filled with the drudgery of a regular job) around yoga. Monday, February 15th was President's day and a wonderful day to not go to work. ("What day isn't?"..you might ask) I painstakingly planned my day around two things: yoga and, secondarily, shopping for trimmings. Don't ask…but the latter led me to believe that it was best to schedule my yoga outings in or around the garment district (7th ave, from 35th ish to 41st ish). This is how (and the yoga pass book) I found Om Factory.
OM Factory is a very nice and open studio located on the 17th floor of what used to be a factory building. (Think Triangle Shirtwaist Disaster) So, unfortunately, OM Factory is not an allusion to the fact that you are producing OMs. Although, while at OM Factory you probably will OM in many or all of their extensive stylistic offerings. I have to say that I wasn't sure what to expect when I went to the AntiGravity Yoga class there but sure enough we did do some OM work. Not too much though, especially when compared with the work that was to be done throughout the class.
The thing about work in this class, however, is it doesn't FEEL that much like work. (until after, when your abs go on strike) Because, well, you get to swing. Literally, the entire class is conducted in relation to a fabric swing/hammock. At the beginning of the class you fill the hammock with your body in a baddha konasana, and at the end the hammock expands to accommodate your entire corpse pose. I can only imagine what this looks like to an audience. Probably pretty hilarious. Also, possibly like a bunch of cocoons or oddly spaced testicles.
I imagine that due to the novelty of such a practice that most of the practitioners are some shade of novice and that there are not really any "advanced" classes or postures. It seemed to me that the class explores a lot of basic hatha poses adapted so that you are not doing them on the floor, but rather suspended over it. Plank pose is done with your arm holding your torso up, but your feet in the hammock. Oh, and then, "chaturanga" is a long and painful series of push ups done in the same position. The gold of this type of yoga, however, is clearly the inversion and back bending portion. The hammock acts as a spotter. It doesn't even care if you're sweaty and gross (but the next class just may care) and it provides the support so that you can be properly aligned in positions where people are probably usually all out of whack. In addition to helping align your posture, it's pretty clutch in aligning your spinal column and decompressing it. I could have just taken this verbatim from the AntiGravity site, but this was actually my experience. As you lean back and catch your feet up in the fabric you can feel each of your discs pop away from one another. It's not as cheesy as a chiropractor. Scout's honor.
At OM factory, I was obviously predominately intrigued by getting to hang from the ceiling while doing yoga but they seem to have it together up there. In addition to cocoon yoga, they offer classes in Forrest Yoga, AcroYoga (partner yoga), Mama Yoga, Restorative, Meditation and Yoga Fight Club. I'm pretty curious about Forrest Yoga, but seriously, Yoga Fight Club? That is more contradictory than the Bikram Yoga Asana Competition. I really hope it is a yogi's take on a Jersey Shore style dance battle.
Just call me Mookie. MWow. The Conclusion.

Born and raised in the Midwest, I ventured to sunny California to pursue my bachelor's degree in Communication Studies and a minor in Spanish at the University of San Diego. In the fall of 2014, I traveled abroad to 16 countries and 18 cities on a life-changing program called Semester At Sea. The travel bug never quite left my soul and I decided to become an au pair in a small village in northern Spain where I immersed myself in an incredible family-oriented culture with amazing food and beautiful beaches.
I settled down in Boston in the summer of 2016, although my wanderlust still remains deep within me. Prior to 451 Agency, I supported the public relations and social media efforts for a variety of real estate clients at McDermott Ventures. I also assisted in community outreach at Waterville Consulting, which paved my way to a deeper knowledge and appreciation of the people and places in Boston. Throughout college I spent my time interning at a variety of media-oriented companies such as NBC Montana and Star 94.1 in San Diego. Through these experiences, I gained a passion for understanding how media outlets play such a pivotal role in everyday life.
I am beyond excited to represent 451 Agency as an Account Executive of Hospitality PR. The culinary world has always been of interest to me, especially after learning about and trying new food in so many different places around the world. I can't imagine a better way of exploring this industry than expressing clients' passion for this line of work. (Hopefully I will find my new favorite Mexican restaurant in the city, because I'm missing the tacos in San Diego on a daily basis!!)
Outside of the office you can find me running through the city, attempting to be a yogi, laughing through the entire Friends' series with a bowl of ice cream in hand, and singing loudly at every country concert that comes to town!

His book Tenured Radicals describes how professional academics are for the most part untouchable. Prof. Daphne Patai argued from within the academy in 1994 that professing feminism on campus was about indoctrination rather than scholarship. Prof. John M. Ellis pointed out in 1997 that literature was being lost as social agendas started corrupting the proper teaching of the humanities. While it is a stretch for some to think of Catholic nuns as agents of destruction, corruption, or politically correct jargon about class, sex, and race, many religious sisters too are tenured radicals, not in universities but in modern convents.
One picks up Spiritual Leadership for Challenging Times, a collection of addresses delivered between 1977 and 2012 by past Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) leaders, with a certain amount of trepidation. Annmarie Sanders, I.H.M., states in the preface that after the Vaticans doctrinal assessment of her group, one hundred thousand Catholics and persons of other faiths expressed through letters, emails, petitions, and phone calls, as well as through prayer vigils around the country, a profound resonance with the LCWRs vision, mission, and works, and declared their hunger for a strong spiritual leadership that is keenly attuned to the signs of the times and willing to adapt to new knowledge and insights. The books introduction describes the sisters as evolving their leadership into a process of inclusion, contemplation, and decision. Vision and mission driven, this leadership encourages the art of listening, sharing, disagreeing, searching, praying, navigating the tension between consensus and prophecy, and finding common ground. While the terminology is often vague, the content of the speeches comes across loud and clear.
The addresses are presented as a courageous testimony to the sisters open-ended struggle. Nadine Foley, O.P., gives us insight into the adaptation of religious life to the modern world. In her 1989 address she acknowledges confusions about the tension between consecration and mission. The mission is easy: It is to work in soup kitchens, daycare centers, dispensaries, prison ministries; to work with prostitutes, with the destitute, victims of earthquakes, floods, and epidemics all of which make the sisters practitioners of the Gospel. She does not illustrate where the tension registers, but we infer that the sisters have compromised prayer, penance, Mass, the sacraments, and life in community for the sake of outreach. St. John Paul II long ago declared that there are indeed essentials to religious life that are not to be compromised: Religious are not merely clerical or lay persons dedicated to good works. Misunderstandings about and an overemphasis on mission continue despite historical evidence that limitations on mobility outside of community life protect against the spread of error and make it possible for sisters to live their consecration as a close union with the Bridegroom, Christ.
Doris Gottemoeller, R.S.M., throws a dramatic spotlight on one long-standing error about what Vatican II meant for sisters. In her 1994 address she claims that the Councils dogmatic constitution on the Church, Lumen Gentium, delegitimizes sisters and the religious life per se, subsuming religious into the laity. This is a plea for victim status, a cry that the religious state fared badly at the Council. Lumen Gentium (no. 31) defines all the faithful except those in holy orders and those in the religious state as laymen. The sisters reason in an irrational fashion that because that sentence positively groups priests and religious together against the lay faithful, and because the laity had previously been defined as non-clerical, and because priests are clerical, religious become stateless and absorbed into the lay state by default as non-clerical. Sr. Gottemoeller asks the anguished question: Are we laity or not?
The sisters seem convinced that the Councils universal call to holiness was part of the same covert war against the religious state as such. The universal call allegedly ended the supremacy or superiority of choosing the religious state. If everyone is called to holiness, and even in the lay state one can achieve it, the sisters argue, the religious state has been robbed of its objective reason to exist. Such equivocation allows for playing down the Councils decree on the renewal of religious life, Perfectae Caritatis, which clarified that the three evangelical counsels of poverty, chastity, and obedience are uniquely ordered to achieving perfection in the religious state. At the same time, the sisters are aware that theyve been criticized for naturalizing religious life so that its no different from philanthropy with Catholic flourishes.
Theresa Kane, R.S.M., told her LCWR audience in 1980 of their mandate to take the Church into the world, to address social, economic, and political injustice. She misreads Gaudium et Spes (no. 29), which states that forms of social or cultural discrimination in basic personal rights on the grounds of sex, race, color, social conditions, language or religion, must be curbed and eradicated as incompatible with Gods design, as an invitation to dismantle sacramental theology and Tradition, to fight the injustice of a priesthood reserved to men. She asks the sisters to unite as a pressure group in order to urge the institutional church to undertake a serious, critical examination of its mode of acting toward women, and to confront and eradicate the systemic evils of sexism, clericalism and paternalism. She states, For two thousand years women have been systematically excluded from the church as institution. Women are victims of the churchs structure. She has nothing to say about the female saints and martyrs or the millions of women who have lived within the bounds of Church teaching, which also imposes constraints on men.
Sr. Kane alludes to those among us, both sisters and laywomen, who can no longer enter into the sacramental life of the church because of the sin of sexism. Imagine the folly of starving oneself of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament alienation from the sacraments necessary for salvation just to make a point! Pope Francis pointed out in his apostolic exhortation Evangelii Gaudium (no. 104) that the priesthood is not about power or oppression because priests administer Christ. Sr. Kanes speech helps us to find the Marxist component in feminist resistance to a Church born of the sisters imaginations.
The sisters come across as fairly opposed to the middle classes. No longer seeing merit in administering to the backbone of Catholic life in the U.S., they locate the Gospel injunction only among those who are materially poor. Rather than administering to the spiritually poor all of us they resent established institutions. Sisters are called to de-institutionalize themselves, to become missionaries once again. This call to real work with the real Jesus aims to recapture the spirit of the early American settlers who built up schools and hospitals from scratch. When the bishops asked the sisters to administer in Latin America, their enthusiastic response shone against a background of growing dissatisfaction with traditional U.S. apostolates in education and nursing.
LCWR speeches make copious references to martyrs in El Salvador, Nicaragua, Guatemala, and Mexico. Their political analysis is strong on accusing American foreign policy of collusion with Latin American dictatorships. Nowhere do the sisters recognize that turbulence in the region was inflamed by Marxist ideology, which benefitted from the tacit support of liberation theologians. Nowhere in the speeches is it recognized that Latin America fell as a Catholic territory in these years, despite the success of some Christian communities and the martyrdom of so many priests and religious, not least Archbishop Oscar Romero.
Pentecostal sects are the fastest-growing force in civil and political life in the region, partly a result of Catholic resistance to Romes instructions against liberation theology. Leftist priests and sisters weakened the Catholic body by sowing dissent among the vulnerable, furnishing them with resentment of the West, capitalism, and authority. The poor went outside the Church for spiritual sustenance because dissent breeds either militancy, passivity, or prevarication, and none of these is life-giving.
The annual LCWR conference occurs each August. This year, we await further reaction to the Vatican rebuke, as well as the acceptance speech by Sr. Elizabeth Johnson, C.S.J. a theologian whom the U.S. bishops have criticized for serious doctrinal errors for her Outstanding Leadership Award. While stating, in reference to the notification from Rome, that criticism clarifies and humbles, Janet Mock, C.S.J., says the LCWR is a microcosm of women in the church. Really? Does their heterodoxy serve people, the Church, or her mission to save souls? Or does it cause implosion? Many orders represented by the LCWR are dying for lack of vocations.
Mother Assumpta Long, O.P., foundress of the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist, in Ann Arbor, Michigan, on the other hand, attracts droves of young women who take up veils and long habits and are committed to traditional apostolates like teaching and nursing. Meanwhile, Sr. Joan Chittister, O.S.B., proudly announced on CNN in 2012 that highly educated, modern sisters no longer do such antiquated things. Tenured radicals, indeed!

I feel I am in a bind. It's been this way a while and I am ready to do something different. On the one hand I feel that I can't share my gifts with you because you won't get them. On the other hand I feel like you aren't worthy of what I have to offer. Basically, I am feeling greedy and unwilling to share that I am learning to work with you in you pain and joy – light and darkness.
I must overcome my terror at feeling even the smallest tinge of criticism. Yet, I have a habit of not asking for help. I don't share myself with you and I remain safe (sort of) and alone. But, I feel that I need to share my desire to contribute. That I have worked to develop a collection of healing tools – Light Expression Essences with a group of other dedicated people who know they have issues to clean up and keep working week in and week out. And… they work really well, aren't stagnant and keep me moving forward to despite the inner challenges I just described.
The fears I feel sound kind of like this, "if I let you take care of me then who will be taking care of you and the others." My perceptions of grandiosity are such that I sense if I don't give myself to you than something horrible, dreadful, and irreversible will take place. All from letting go of care giving so that I can receive. The truth that nobody can give all the time is seen as having little importance in my mind. Not to mention the budding realization that maybe if I let someone help me, this will benefit them too!
My intention for 2016 is to share with the world my gifts. This will allow me to experience how they are received and then make adjustments. Frankly, I am so tired of feeling like whatever I am doing needs to be better, deeper, more helpful than the next modality, method, or approach. I do want to make a contribution. I do want to be recognized. I do want to get your feedback. Ultimately, I am willing to feel my immaturity and grow through it into the unknown to offer more of myself.
Here is a vision board I made on New Year's Day with my mother. I am now making a commitment to trust again and again in the ability that the world as individuals and a community can offer ourself honesty, care, and leaps in new directions in 2016. I am excited to share this journey with you all!

This is a Fashionista Event. I was given a promotional item to review by 9thandElm.com to share my opinions about the website. All opinions are my own.
9thandElm.com was founded by Clay and Elly Bethune in the spring of 2013 with a mission to bring its members fabulous fashion from the best handmade and independent designers. We realize it is extremely difficult to sort through and discover handmade fashion geared towards the "fashionista". Search no longer. Exclusive deals handpicked by our buyers will be delivered daily to our users' inboxes. This site is a multiple designer site.
As a Fashionista blogger, I received a $70 credit to spend at 9thandElm.com. So far, I have purchased three items with my credit. I still have about $6 remaining and am just waiting for that next "gotta-have -it" piece to appear! New vendors are featured every day and I always look forward to seeing all the cool new items! 9thandElm.com features jewelry, clothing, handbags, and accessories. Many of their items are handmade and/or unique. If you are looking for something unusual, look no further than 9thandElm.com!
Because many of the items at 9thandElm.com are handmade, quantities are limited. If you see something you really want, don't wait! Buy it right away! On the other hand, I have seen successful vendors return for another run. One of the vendors that I loved and missed out on was featured again and I was able to get a wonderful bracelet (details below). So, if you do miss something you really wanted, keep on the lookout for it. It just might reappear!

OK, I know! You are probably thinking, "Stop talking already and show us the cool stuff you selected!"
First, I selected a Navy Blue Infinity Scarf. It arrived very quickly and was wrapped nicely in brown tissue paper that was stamped by the vendor. What a lovely special touch! Infinity scarves are all the rage these days. But, I don't normally wear a scarf of any kind. That's why this scarf appealed to me. I wanted to try something that was unusual for me.
One of the things I love about my infinity scarf is that it is versatile. With a little imagination, you can wear an infinity scarf in many different ways. One way is featured in the photo below from artlab of a black infinity scarf "secured" with a gold belt. (Also shown below is the linen text scarf in neutral from artlab.) An infinity scarf can be worn long (just place the long loop around the neck and you're done) or short (place it around the neck, twist it about halfway down, and then place around the neck again). I like wearing it "short" because it covers my chest. I dress modestly. I don't want to worry that I "can't" bend over in what I'm wearing, yet so many fashions these days are very immodest. The infinity scarf allows me to wear something low-cut yet retain my modesty because the scarf covers me well. Another idea for wearing the scarf is to use it as a necklace. Grab it by both ends and twist it tightly, then use a bracelet or short necklace to close the end loops of the scarf. You now have a "chunky necklace"!
For some more infinity scarf inspiration, check out my Infinity Scarf Inspiration Pinterest Board!
Second, I selected a custom necklace from BPJ with my name, Cara. I can't ever find anything with my name already on it, so the only way for me to get a personalized item is to order it custom. That's why this necklace appealed to me. I could get a custom necklace at an affordable price! Although it was also available in "gold" and "rose gold," I ordered it in sterling silver. I received it about a week after I ordered it. It arrived in a beautiful pink gift box. Once again, I thought that the presentation was a lovely touch. I have been very pleased with my necklace. It is pretty and the quality met my expectations. The only thing I wish I had done differently is to order it in a slightly longer chain size. I ordered an 18" chain, but wish I had ordered the 20". Both of the photos below are of custom jewelry from BPJ. "Carrie" is shown in silver and the monogram is shown in rose gold.
Third, I ordered the "Believe and Wings" Arm Party Bracelet from Trend Alert. This was the vendor that sold out and then reappeared. The day my order arrived, I was dressed up for a special event. The bracelet matched my outfit, so I immediately put it on my arm. I love it so much! Seriously! I worried that it would seem a little "too busy" for me, but I put it on and thought it was so cool! I chose one that represents my faith – it has an infinity charm and a "believe" charm. Both of the photos below are of Arm Party Bracelets from Trend Alert. The black one is "Tree of Life" and the blue one is "Elephant Love."
I want to show you a variety of additional items that have caught my eye over the last few weeks. Some of them were perfect for me. Others caught my eye because they were unique and, even though I might not wear them, I know they are perfect for someone else! In a few cases, you will notice pieces that match. Please note that they are sold separately, but I wanted to show you that you can create a matching set. The first photo is not an item that I ordered, but I just had to show it to you because it is personalized with "my" name! 😉
Without further delay, I am excited to share this wonderful 9thandElm.com giveaway with you! 9thandElm.com has graciously offered $400 in giveaway value for readers in the US and Canada. One winner will receive a $200 gift certificate and two winners will each receive a $100 gift certificate. Will you be a winner?

Speaking at the Brookings Institution, an important Washington think tank, Barack Obama called for a jolt of federal spending in the region of $150 billion+ to goose the economy into a more vigorous recovery and to help bring down unemployment that has broached the 10% line. This speech was the third time in a week Obama has focused on jobs in a high-visibility event. Why? The calendar is the key: the congressional midterm election takes place in November 2010 and candidates are already jockeying for position (and who is to blame) on an issue like the level of unemployment. Calling on classic Keynesian economic doctrine, Obama said that the country has to "spend our way out of this recession", even as he stressed he was - really, truly, cross my heart - mindful of the need to deal with rising federal deficits. Action on such proposals are dependent on congressional approval under the US system. It was the third time in a week the president had presided over a high-profile event on jobs, responding to rising pleas in Congress that he spend more time discussing unemployment as midterm election season draws near. For details on this discussion and the stimulus package, read the AP
Some firing squads are all issued with blank cartridges with the exception of one person. This helps alleviate personal responsibility for the execution squad.

Auburn coach Gus Malzahn: "It's always different" playing in Arkansas
Auburn will play a second consecutive road game Saturday against Arkansas, but this one has a unique feeling for Auburn coach Gus Malzahn.
"It's always different," Malzahn said on his radio show Monday night. "That's where I grew up."
Malzahn spent the majority of his youth in Arkansas and even spent two years as a walk-on receiver with the Razorbacks from 1984-1985. The coach made a name for himself coaching high school football in Arkansas for 15 seasons before taking his first college job in 2005.
Malzahn will lead the Tigers into his former home state to play a team coming off a bye week and losers of four of their last five games. Similar to Auburn, third-year Arkansas coach Bret Bielema has put an emphasis on having a physical team.
"We like to play physical football too, "Malzahn said. "We played each other the last two years, it's been a physical game and we expect another one."
Malzahn is focused on how the Tigers can beat Arkansas, but the coach still has strong ties to the place he grew up.
"My family is there and a lot of my best friends are there, but you got a job to do," Malzahn said.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (PRWEB) February 10, 2016
When Aborinth, a rare malicious being, trades places with her prey and becomes hunted by an unknown deadly creature, she takes refuge in a tiny village she and her companion uncover from a blanket of deceptive magic. What they stumble upon inside this tiny village will change their lives and those of the villagers forever.
In what one reviewer refers to as "a complex moving tapestry of characters and settings," the story unfolds in author Sharron Andrades's new novel, "Aborinth: Tears of Ascension: The Beginning of the End" (published by Balboa Press).
Andrades began writing Aborinth's story and didn't realize at the time that the book's premise was the effect of bullying. "My book gives an in-depth first-hand experience as to the effects of bullying, even though set in a fantasy realm filled with mystery, adventure, action and sorcery. My book is real life glammed up with illusions of fantastic grandeur tied with a red ribbon of whimsical glitter known as fantasy," she says.
Excerpts from "Aborinth: Tears of Ascension":
And even though she is different from us, and has wings, maybe it is us who are different from her. I'm different. Are they going to kill me too?
When you die, the world will grieve for its loss. But when I die, who will grieve for me? Who will miss me? Who will cry for me, if I don't cry for myself?
"Aborinth: Tears of Ascension"
