Charles Oddy suggests 5 tips for delivering a compelling pitch.
Spark Up is almost a month into its third cohort programme. It has been terrific to meet another vibrant crowd of entrepreneurs embarking the start-up journey with their eyes wide open.
Last week we held the second Pitch Perfect session and each business pitched for approx 3mins. The session was won by Kelly Muirhead @missladylox.
Kelly gave a compelling pitch about her business: Miss LadyLox. She explained what her product is, how she sourced suppliers, why there is a demand, and how her business is commercial. Despite some nerves, her pitching style was very natural and engaging. Most importantly she presented confidence that she understood her goal and why she is the right person to do it.
There could only be one winner but credit should also be given to Julie Simpson @laad_autism and Lizz Plumtree @LizzPlumtree who also gave very solid and engaging pitches.
This Friday we are having the third Pitch Perfect session in this cohort. We will be following a style used on the TV show The Voice. We will have three guest judges at SparkUp. The judges will be seated at the front with their backs to the pitching entrepreneur. Each judge will only turn their seats around during the pitch if that judge feels compelled by that pitch. As far as I am aware, the judges haven't heard any of these businesses pitch and so will be purely guided by the audio content within the pitch.
The judges are all entrepreneurial, business minded and from a variety of career backgrounds and disciplines. They are all active in supporting business growth in Liverpool and encouraging innovative ideas.
The audience is on your side at the start. The moment each pitch starts, the audience is wanting to get engaged. It is a bit like listening to a best man speech at a wedding, everyone in the audience is rooting for the best man to give a good speech.
Here are some tips:
Concept 1: Make it easy for the audience to understand your business early on. Don't be too verbose and give examples if that helps put your business into context.
Concept 2: If possible, use some relevant facts not assumptions. Facts are comforting in that they remove uncertainty and speculation. For example, an audience wants to know that there is market demand for your product/service. Use facts to convey this message.
Concept 3: Sell your knowledge and experience. It is a common theme in pitches for entrepreneurs to understate their experience. Use facts to convey the advantage provided by your experience/expertise. For example, if you have qualifications, experience, management, awards, grants, funding etc. then tell the audience. The audience wants to know that you are tenacious, ambitious and an achiever. Show that what you have achieved and how this will help the business.
Concept 4: Be yourself. Nerves are ok. Being shy is ok. Let the audience meet the real you, and hear about your plans and ambitions. Make it easy for them to visualize the journey you have ahead.
Concept 5: Network after the pitch. Whenever you pitch to a room full of people, be ready to network after. Don't talk to people you know well, go find someone you don't know and make a new network. Help them and help them to help you.
Best of Luck @charlesoddy

Thunderstorms dumped rain and hail on some parts of the Sacramento region Thursday, while other areas remained relatively dry.
Thunder was heard by late morning in downtown Sacramento as large drops of rain dampened city streets. A thunderstorm moving through the area shortly after 5 p.m. had boosted the 24-hour rainfall total to 0.18 inches for downtown, said Karl Swanberg, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.
A location about 2 miles southwest of Sleep Train Arena had recorded 0.26 inches for the 24-hour period as of 5 p.m., while Sacramento International Airport reported 0.10 inches.
In Placer County, 0.03 inches was recorded in Auburn. The Kyburz area in El Dorado County saw some of the heaviest rainfall, with 1.17 inches recorded for the 24-hour period, as well as hail up to about three-eighths of an inch in size, Swanberg said.
Unstable weather is expected to continue through the weekend, with a 60 percent chance of showers in the Sacramento area Friday and a 50 percent chance Saturday. Temperatures will be below normal for this time of year, with highs in the upper 60s to around 70 Friday and the upper 60s to low 70s on Saturday.
"We have this persistent area of low pressure hanging off the West Coast," Swanberg said.
The chance of showers, though decreasing, is expected to continue into Sunday.
The forecast calls for a return of sunny weather Monday, with temperatures steadily increasing into the upper 80s by Wednesday.

The Phoenix Suns still have the best record in the NBA against the basketball betting lines, but now they're starting to understand what life is like for the injury-plagued Los Angeles Lakers.
Jason's record on his early NBA picks for 2013-14, up to January 14 inclusive:
12-9 Totals
If you're a fan of the Los Angeles Lakers, I've got the standard good news and bad news for you, times two. First, the Lakers lost 120-118 to the Cleveland Cavaliers Tuesday night, but they did manage to cash in as 4-point home dogs on the NBA lines. Second, Pau Gasol (17.5 PER) was diagnosed with a strained left toe, but he played anyway on Tuesday and filled the stat sheet with 20 points and 12 rebounds in 36 very efficient minutes. Everyone loves a chop pot.
The Phoenix Suns can sympathize. They lost their third game in a row on Monday, falling 98-96 to the New York Knicks in overtime, but at least the Suns got paid as 4-point puppies at MSG. That result leaves Phoenix at 2-5 SU and 3-5 ATS since guard Eric Bledsoe (20.2 PER) sprained his knee on New Year's Eve. The Suns welcome the Lakers to The Snake Pit on Wednesday night at 9:00 p.m. ET; in what's becoming all too regular, the NBA odds for this matchup are pending as we go to press, presumably as we wait to see how Gasol's toe holds up.[/]{"component":"oddswidget", "eventId":252939, "sportsbooksIds":[43], "LineTypeId":2, "PeriodTypeId":1}[/]
Give Me Your Digits
The last time we checked in on the Lakers (14-24 SU, 19-18-1 ATS) one week ago, they were losing 113-95 to the Houston Rockets, barely missing out on a payday as 13.5-point road dogs. Then they got absolutely crushed by the L.A. Clippers (–10) in a 123-87 final that had about as much buzz as a cup of Sanka. The Lakers scored eight points in the third quarter. They gave up 43 points in the first quarter. And you thought Gasol's toe injury was painful.
The story with the Lakers hasn't changed much since last week, other than the fact that they're now on a five-game losing streak, falling to 1-11 SU and 4-8 ATS since Dec. 21. Point guard Kendall Marshall (15.4 PER) continues to impress, registering double-doubles in back-to-back games. Center Jordan Hill (20.6 PER) continues to come off the bench for Mike D'Antoni while Robert Sacre (14.1 PER) gets the starting assignment. And the Lakers continue to put themselves in a strong position to land one of those premium picks in the 2014 NBA Draft.
Don't Call My Name, Leandro
Back in the desert, the Suns are also sinking in the West at 21-16 SU, just two games ahead of the Denver Nuggets for eighth place. Losing Bledsoe was a tough break; this team has greatly outperformed expectations and still has the most profitable record in NBA betting at 25-11-1 ATS, but there isn't enough depth to cover the loss of arguably their best player. Bledsoe had a piece of the meniscus in his right knee removed – earlier reports said the whole thing was taken out – and isn't likely to return until after the All-Star break.
The Suns have patched the hole for now with a familiar face, former Sixth Man of the Year Leandro Barbosa, who was signed to a 10-day contact on Jan. 8. And Barbosa turned back the clock on Monday with 21 points off the bench against the Knicks. Unfortunately for Phoenix, the new starting 2-guard, Gerald Green (14.1 PER), was held to four points on 2-of-16 shooting. Send him back to Russia!
Actually, don't. Have you seen the news coming out of there? Besides, Green has had more good days than bad since joining the Suns in the Luis Scola trade. And unlike most of the guards on the Lakers, Green has all his limbs in working order. That's enough for me to recommend the Suns at whatever price the NBA lines happen to come up with.
NBA Pick: Take the Suns

Benton is a dynamic community that is well positioned for the future. As we develop the vision for Benton's future, we celebrate its past, and embrace the present. We understand that our decisions today will have a lasting impact on tomorrow and so each decision that impacts the community must be carefully considered. The Town Officials, staff, and various commissions, boards and committees are working diligently to provide residents and future generations an outstanding quality of life.
July 23rd, 2018
To address the integrity of the distribution system and protect the health of the end users, the Town of Benton will be conducting a free chlorine flush within its water distribution system. The flush will begin on Monday, July 23rd, 2018. This event is expected to last 45 days. The free chlorine flush is being performed as an added precautionary step to prevent and control biological activity within the City's distribution system.
Currently Benton uses chloramines for disinfection of the drinking water. Chloramines are created by combining chlorine and ammonia. During this free chlorine flush, the disinfection process will be changed from chloramines to free chlorine. Free chlorine is a stronger and faster-acting disinfectant. Benton will be using this disinfection. Customers may notice open fire hydrants throughout the city during this period and possibly overflowing the water storage tower. The fire hydrants will be opened to allow flushing of the system to help remove sediment from the pipes and distribute the change in disinfectant. Overflowing water storage facilities further aid in the flushing process.
Possible Noticeable Effects: It is important to understand that during this temporary change there may be some discoloration or cloudiness in the water and possibly a slight chlorine odor or taste. If this is experienced you may want to run the water through the tap until it clears. Minor pressure fluctuations and small air pockets may also occur. Fire hydrant flushing should remove a majority of the color and odor, but some may reach customer lines during the process.
Is the Water Safe to Drink? Yes, the water is safe to drink throughout this process. Any odor and color issues will be nuisance only, which will subside as the flushing is completed. Discoloration in laundry is possible during this time. Cleaning additives are readily available at local stores to help prevent or remove any discoloration that may occur. Customers who use tap water for kidney dialysis at home should consult their doctor to advise them if any changes are necessary in their residual disinfectant neutralization procedures. Customers utilizing the water for aquariums should monitor both free and combined chlorine residuals.
During normal business hours residents may call (318) 965-2900 with any questions concerning the free chlorine flush. The Town of Benton appreciates the patience and understanding of its residents as it works to further improve the quality of the water for all customers.

Retail industry is here to stay. According to reports of MarketLine, the global retail market is expected to record yearly growth of close to 5% through 2015 to exceed $13.2 trillion. To meet the expectations of this competitive market and to keep their organization on par or ahead of their competitors, it is important for retail team members to be trained on the latest mantra of retail and stores.
So, how can an organization do this? The immediate answer is eLearning. One benefit of eTraining is that it can be taken as and when required. A typical eLearning course for retail operations can have the following strategies:
Set interesting learning objectives
The first step is to set goals and learning objectives. Adults learn something only if they see a benefit for themselves in it and if it is going to solve their real-time problems. Keep the learning outcomes crisp, realistic, and achievable. For example, by the end of this course you will be able to:
- List the different types of stores
- Describe the objectives and functions of a store
Design interactive course
Now that you have set the learning objectives, it's time to design the course. Keep the course simple and innovative. Chunk the information as much as possible without changing the meaning of the content. Instead make way for the usage of numerous images and illustrations. Enhance the look and feel of the course by using rich graphics, interactivities and visual effects.
For example, the working of a stores department can be shown by taking learners through a dummy store by using media techniques. This gives them the true picture on how a store functions in real-life and they can implement those learning immediately on the job. Making use of avatars as stores guide will be helpful to a great extent!
Reinforce learning
From time to time in between the course, assess the knowledge acquired by the learners in the form of small quizzes or test your knowledge. It can consist of multiple choice or drag and drop type questions to measure the learning. Provide feedback for every answer which will in a way reinforce learning.
Another appropriate example for this can be a classroom based scenario using different characters where there can be discussions about the topic just covered. In this way learners will undergo highly interactive session, which will enable them to brush up what they have learnt. This will also avoid any kind of isolation amongst learners who are accustomed to traditional learning.
In this way training provided through eLearning in retail industry proves to be effective as it can be taken by anyone and anywhere. One need not wait for the retail trainer to be available. It saves the time of the staff and is profitable for the organization too!

TOKYO — Nine Japanese ISPs began blocking child porn websites today.
The Sydney Morning Herald reported that the crackdown is aimed at stamping out the illegal distribution and possession of sexually explicit images of children in the country that's viewed as a major global source of the material.
More that 100 websites are being targeted by The Internet Content Safety Association that was established in March.
The group of 21 member companies includes nine ISPs, among them NEC Biglobe, NTT Communications and KDDI that cover 50-70 percent of online Japanese households, according to the National Policy Agency.
A list of suspected Internet addresses subject to the block was obtained by the association by Japan's Internet Hotline Centre, a watchdog group that monitors illegal and harmful information on the web.
The report also said four major Internet search sites, including Google and Yahoo Japan, are ensuring that sites subject to blocking do not show up in their search results.
According to the National Police Agency, Japan's fight against child porn has ramped up considerably.
The agency reported that law enforcement took action in 1,342 child porn cases in 2010, up 43.5 percent from the previous year to reach a new record since such data was first compiled in 2000.

Srinagar: A shutdown was observed across the Kashmir Valley on Monday against the soaring number of braid-chopping incidents, which are showing no signs of relenting.
"Braid chopping started from Haryana, spread to other states. But in Kashmir some vested interests try to project it as handiwork of agencies. People should not follow rumors blindly. It could provide an opportunity to anti-social elements to give a political dimension to the bizarre buzz," he said.
While the shutdown was called by separatist leaders Syed Ali Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Yasin Malik, authorities imposed restrictions in Srinagar and other parts of the valley to thwart any protests. Shops, public transport and educational institutes remained closed in Srinagar and also in other major towns of the valley. Dozens of mysterious braid chopping incidents have been reported from different parts of the Valley during the last one month. The J&K Police had constituted a special investigation team (SIT) to probe the matter, but has so far it has not able to achieve any breakthrough. While locals accuse intelligence agencies for the incidents, the braid chopping is fast gaining political colour with separatists trying to create trouble over the issue. Even opposition political parties in Kashmir have lashed out at the government for its "failure" to arrest the accused.

Love FRUIT? Rock veggies? Well we've got good news for you because most of your favourite foods are also GOOD FRIENDS to your SKIN. How so? Because they contain the essential VITAMINS and NUTRIENTS to feed your skin with GOODNESS, and eating well is as important to your complexion as using skin care products. ANTIOXIDANT-RICH foods like green leafy VEG (easy to remember) and dark FRUIT (ditto) are the best - so you should be eating plenty of kurly cale, broccoli, raspberries and BLACKBERRIES, or blending these together to make delicious SMOOTHIES. Here are our two of our favourite RECIPES - get the blender out and start getting smooth ..
2 cups frozen mango chunks
1/2 cup hemp milk (try Good Hemp from Ocado)
1/2 cup water
1 scoop protein powder (this is optional: we use MyProtein Hemp Protein - it enhances a smoothie's protein power).
This smoothie can be as thick as a pudding if you add the protein powder, or as runny as a conventional smoothie - so easy to drink for breakfast - if you just add water. Blend mangos, milk, water, and protein powder together in a blender until completely smooth. Sprinkle shredded coconut on top if you like. Serves 2.
Beauty benefits: High protein, low sugar, gluten-free, fiber, chlorophyll.
Handful of ice
1 banana
1 cup frozen blueberries
1 cup unsweetened hemp milk

More than two years after the death of Libyan strongman Muammar Qaddafi, current government officials are trying to reclaim the assets of the former dictator and his inner circle.
According to The Wall Street Journal, former Qaddafi aide Ali Dabaiba and his family have a stake in the high-end British real estate agency Chesterton Humberts, which was purchased in early 2011 during the Arab Spring.
Now, the paper reports, the Libyan government is investigating Dabaiba on suspicion of embezzlement and abuse of office.
Dabaiba, 68, ran a powerful Libyan government agency and was part of an inner circle called "Companions of the Leader," the Journal reported.
Libyan investigators have been pursuing holdings of people linked to the Qaddafi regime, and the Dabaiba ties to Chesterton Humberts is a rare example of a mainstream firm connected to assets of a post-dictatorship regime.
"The State of Libya believes that the estate agency Chesterton Humberts is part-owned by Ali Ibrahim Dabaiba or his brother or sons," said a document sent to a U.K. law-enforcement agency by investigators working for the Libyan government, the Journal reported.

Happy Birthday to the VLC!
In honor of his birthday, I decided we were going to do ride #5. He was not sure how that was a birthday present, but I promised him lots of cookies afterward - if he was good. I told you guys he was a snot about his girth yesterday. Well, today I warily passed my hand under his stomach to get his cinch, watching for hooves all the time and he decided to do something new. He defiantly threw his head - and whacked it right into the post he was tied to.
Um, not so smart, big boy. He was VERY surprised. Apparently it does not feel so good when you whack your head into a wood post about ten inches in diameter. He was so surprised that he stood without incident for the rest of the saddling. I love it when they train themselves!
That was the only bad thing he did all night. He was absolutely perfect under saddle. We worked on doing nice round circles, and we trotted all the way around the arena once! He gave the goat that was tied outside to graze a look and a sidestep, but that was all. Not one whinny at the mustangs outside. Not one moment of misbehavior. Oh, and we worked on halting and he was so much better than yesterday. He totally seems to get it now that the second you stop and stand, I drop the reins and pet you.
Have I mentioned how much I love this horse today? He is a lifer. I would not sell him for a million zillion dollars. :-)
Oh and before I rode him, I went out and rode one of Save A Forgotten Equine's OTTB rescue mares, Little Miss. This mare is a doll! She was an animal control seizure but now is normal weight (actually she is overweight, LOL). If anybody would be interested in a small (15.1) bay TB mare with a very good brain, let me know. She is sound (hooves still being rehabbed, but legs clean and feels totally sound u/s), light sided but not stupid, has a wonderful "ho" on her, and needs someone to love her forever. She is a thin skinned princess who is bothered by the bugs, so she needs someone who will baby her a bit with a fly sheet. She is in the Seattle area and SAFE only does Seattle to Portland area adoptions so that someone can check on them and ensure they are truly safe forever. I had her pic on the other blog already but I'll post another cute one here today.
Hope everybody has a great weekend full of wonderfully uneventful rides!

Hahaha, you can't even tell he's a horse in that baby picture. He has no head!
Happy Birthday, VLC!!!!
My mare used to try very hard to bite the person girthing her up (or mounting). She was bad enough that I would saddle her with a riding crop clutched firmly in my left hand. One time she tried to bite, I flicked my wrist so the crop waved, she snatched her head back and, much like VLC, whacked her head on the post. She cut her mouth a little bit, but NEVER turned around to try to bite again. (It still wasn't a very good idea to stand right in front of her if she was being girthed or mounted, but it was safe to stand next to her.)

VLC's Mama is a looker -- poster child for a breeding quality mare. Love the big motor, the low knees and hocks, and the balance on her. No wonder VLC is such a handsome boy.
Happy Birthday to the VLC -- my little TB-type "spotless" Ap PMU filly has her first birthday Monday.

I can also vouch for the value of inanimate objects as "trainers" -- I had an Ap gelding who, despite being fine when I handled his feet, was obnoxious for the farrier. He managed to knock all the tools down a hill one day, and was just a PIA to shoe.
One day, in mid-fit, he leapt forward straight into a post. He whacked his head hard enough to give himself a nosebleed, which was worrisome, but from that moment forward, was the best behaved horse on the farm for the farrier.
Just as a clue to this horse's personality -- when I put an electric "get back' wire on the barn lot fence, one horse got zapped once and was convinced, another saw the first one get zapped and wouldn't get near it, but he very systematically went all the way around the barn lot "testing" every single section of fence, looking for a loophole....

Too funny. It's a good thing you didn't have any 'dead zones'!
On our place, I'd been bringing the pony out at feeding time - tying him to a tree, feeding the boys & the mare, and then feeding the pony in the yard and turning him out afterwards.
But, I figured out that (since he doesn't really realize that the boys are eating in the top pasture) I can tie him in the lower section (around a corner and behind trees) - feed the boys and then bring down his & the mares (she's in a separate field) feed. The only problem was he would try to reach under the fence to get her feed. The first time he tried this, I'd had the fence unplugged, for ease of feeding, and so he did not get shocked. :(
Now I know to leave the fence plugged in. ;) It upsets the mare something terrible to have this boy try to steal her dinner.... but not enough so that she doesn't push her feed pan right up to the fence as she's eating. The only problem now has been that I've gotten shocked twice - yesterday on my butt, when I was leaning over cleaning out the mares water trough.

Happy Birthday VLC!
I'm glad you had a good birthday ride.
I rode yesterday. I was really not looking forward to it. It was just before feeding time, there were horses going out riding in the fields beyond the arena and Jade always gets freaked out by anything moving out there. But I decided I HAD to get up so I did. Eventually she was getting jumpy enough I decided to get off, but we got a good 15 minutes in, including some better than normal trotting, so I was somewhat pleased.

Ellen, that is an appy for you!
And thanks for the nice comments about Sindy - I like her too! I know I've mentioned before, but she is looking for a new home so if anybody reading this is interested let me know at firstname.lastname@example.com and I'll put you in touch. She is a sweet mare, sound in all ways, a full sister to an AQHA Versatility Horse of the Year, and in foal with a full sibling to the VLC. I really want to see this mare go to an excellent home.

Just wanted to say that my instructor - who is very good with horses, excellent rider, no parelli crap - started her BEAUTIFUL, great conformation [thoroughbred-sport horse cross] filly about a year ago. "Farrah" is a tall, dark bay and looks great to ride. My instructor rides her wtc and is doing jumps around 2'. She has already taken Farrah to two shows, both of which she did very well in.
Sorry, kind of random. Just wanted to say that.

LOL, I'm a big fan of those accidental "self training" moments too!
I was physically involved in one (my own stupidity, thank you) that turned out beautifully. Just started backing my pony mare, was standing on mounting block in arena with mare in halter, leaning on her back. Mare stepped forward and away, just one step, but mounting block tipped over backwards and I wound up flat as spilt milk on the arena floor with the wind knocked out of me. Mare never even hit the end of the lead rope, and came to stand over me, clearly concerned that she had KILLED me, as I wasn't moving. From that day forward, she stood like a rock for mounting: 'cuz if you don't, your person lays down on the floor and acts DEAD, doncha know!
ROFL...not one of my brighter moments (and I'll admit to no helmet, too), but in the end was a wonderful result.

re: yesterday's last posts on dropping the stirrups dismount. Always a good practice, to which I don't always adhere, but invariably do with shades of green.
I think that 'inadvertent training' successes probably led to some of the rougher techniques in practice when someone noticed how well a strong impression works. Here's to luck, cheers.
Day 6 had a good session yesterday. more of same but longeing with the saddle on now. Still haven't trimmed his feet but holding him in the shoeing position up front and stretching out his backs. Today for sure. Toyed with the idea of grabbing my Tipperary and climbing on today but have come down on the side of thoroughness (and discretion). Headed out there now which will give enough time for a good long pony down the trail after schooling.

I got Green Mare to canter a few strides in the pasture. That's big news here.
She's a rescue and was re-started at the age of 11 last year. I haven't been able to be consistent with her, riding and time wise, until recently, and I consider her still green.
She's so prissy and sensitive that she thinks having the *saddle pad* laid on her is an irritation. We've gotten to the point where her cinchyness is much less a Big Deal, and she consistently stands still while mounting. We're working on improving her steering and establishing that she can bend in a nice arc on a circle, rather than doing a trapezoidy circle.
Since we've been doing these most basic of things, I've held it to walk-trot stuff. Lots of transitions. Also, she's coming back from pasture condition, so I thinking loping/balancing with me is a challenge for her.
Three days ago, I asked her for a canter, and though it was most unpretty and brief, I got one. I immediately hopped down and gave her a carrot. The next two tries were easier to get the canter, but still ugly. Kept it to just a few strides. Yesterday, a similar story.
It's a small success, but success nonetheless. She's so light sided that she occasionally mis-reads a leg cue for direction as a cue for more speed. We'll get it worked out. She's also growing mentally calmer when we ride, and that's a good thing.

So I actually thought I was having a good ride, PITA(Jax) was trotting nicely with no bucking fussing and I'm like woo hoo!! Too soon, we still had to do the canter thing. Did you know dropping your leg back for a lead cue really means buck then canter? We've done it U/S with no issue, so I know he knows what it means. He was not happey once he figured out I was actually still on him! Oh well, he gave up and we got a very nice canter both directions. So I decided to reward him by trotting two small, but new to him jumps. He did great over the first one, approached the second at an angle and still no look no hesitation just popped right over. So we ended on that good note. I'm really starting to think the heat here(NC) is making him cranky right now. Can't really blame him, I'm not enjoying it much either.

Things didn't go as planned in earlier post today. Pony mare (Molly) took it ill to be called into work at an unaccustomed hour. I think she's hanging out with a bad crowd and they're having a bad influence on her. Actually she was the instigator, everyone else trotted right up to me and she said come on gang let's blow this joint. And they were gone like Brando. (It's a hard thing for a parent to accept: that their child is the bad one) I said to heck with it we all have our days. Watched the Derby instead. Finally got down to the corral with Merlin and her, at her convenience. More of same, saddled right off and put some weight on him. Let him drag a lead rope around the corral and graze with Molly for awhile after the lesson. It was: "spook or graze? hmm.." graze won. Drank a beer and watched him figure it out, and called it good. No time to pony out on the trail. Didn't trim his feet. Tomorrow for sure.

Worked with midlife career change broodmare today -- first order of business is to restore ground manners and attention span.
I found a saddle that fits her Morgan self, always a challenge, but she needs more work in the caveson before bitting her.
We worked on bending, on work on a relatively short longe line to gain control of her feet, and on getting neck unstuck from shoulders and lengthening the stride behind. All successful.
She's a pretty thing and I'm looking forward to riding her.

Sagebrusheq: I'm glad I'm not the only person who lets young (or new-to-clue) stock drag a lead rope around some while grazing.
You have no idea how many people have told me that a horse will kill itself in panic if it steps on the lead rope.
Thing is, a horse that is let to step on the lead rope *once* blows up big. A horse that is let to step on the lead rope fifty times or so, that horse doesn't blow up. He just moves the offending foot so that the lead rope is not being stepped on anymore.

I wrote this for a WMF update letter a few months ago:
His eyes bear the weight of a lifetime: a lifetime of neglect and of abuse and of a million unmet longings to be noticed. My eyes are fixed on his bony, 11-year-old body as he bounds toward me, his crooked smile bringing the slightest relief to those tired eyes. He holds out his hand, long and skinny, in greeting, and we rehearse the handshake he's taught me so many times—the one I can't ever seem to get right. At least today he laughs at me.
It is late May, and the children are restless. The climbing temperatures and promises of summer vacation make homework time impossible, and so we go outside to play. Alex*, the one whose eyes call out to me, grabs a tennis ball and tosses it in the air. We play catch for a few minutes until we see another group of kids forming a circle for volleyball. I ask him if he wants to play with the others, and he nods, but in a strangely reluctant way. We hit the ball around for a minute until it is sent in Alex's direction for the first time. He looks up, sees it coming and then hesitates—long enough for the ball to nail him right in the face. The other kids, like the normal kids they are, immediately start laughing and throwing arrows with their words right into his chest. He turns and runs. I follow. I call his name, and he momentarily looks over his shoulder, tears streaming out of those sad eyes. I pause, and he dashes behind the school building, fleeing from all of the things that hurt inside of him: the words of the other children, yes, but also all of those years of neglect. Those years of never knowing that he is loved.
In a few minutes Alex reappears on the other side of the school and takes a seat on the steps. His eyes are dry and sagging and stuck to the asphalt. I try in vain to start a conversation with him, realizing quickly that he needs space. There are several pieces of chalk on the steps, and he takes one, slowly rubbing it between those long fingers.
And I remember that he loves to draw. I remember the way, just a few days ago, he excitedly showed me the notebook where he keeps all his sketches: his dreams and feelings and hopes for what could be. I remember the way he gave me one of those drawings, the way he wanted me to have something created just by him. And now he grasps the chalk more firmly and leans that bony frame of his toward the ground. I am silent.
He begins slowly, a line here and there as his feelings begin to take shape. I am not sure what he is drawing at first, and when I finally ask, his first words since being hit with the ball, formed quite matter-of-factly, are "a home."
I am struck by the simplicity of his longing and suddenly find myself in Alex's pain. Isn't that what we all hope for? A home. A place of security, of love, of stability. A place where we know we won't be abandoned, where we know that we are accepted as we are. Home is a place where we can completely miss a volleyball pass and then turn cartwheels because it doesn't matter.
Since that day in May I have grown closer to Alex. Sometimes we play and enjoy each other and are free. Other times we are angry and violent and completely out of control. These wounds are not easily healed. But I continue to choose to be present to him, to see him as he is and to pray. And maybe he can see me as I am, too. I realize that we are on this journey toward home together, two people whose dignity got a little bruised along the way. And as we slowly learn to make our bruises visible to each other, whether they're from the smack of a playground ball or the hell of abandonment, we find ourselves in this playtime communion becoming more and more human.
*Alex's name has been changed for his protection.

The Third Trimester Changes are Physical and Emotional
The third trimester changes in mom are both physical and emotional. While the expectant mother may be excited that she will soon be meeting her baby, she may also begin experiencing new symptoms of pregnancy. While a growing abdomen and increased weight gain are a few of the most common changes in the third trimester, there are other symptoms the mother-to-be may experience.
Physical Changes
Women usually gain about 25 to 35 pounds by the end of their pregnancy. Some women not only experience a growing abdomen, but they also gain weight in other parts of their body, such as the breasts, face or legs. Weight gain is not only caused by the growing baby; it also includes amniotic fluid, increased blood volume and extra fat stores in the expectant mom's body. As the mother's body retains fluids, she may also experience swelling in the hands or feet. The mom-to-be may notice stretch marks on her stomach or legs, as well. Some of the most surprising third trimester changes are hair growth and changes in skin color. The mom-to-be may notice hair and discolored patches of skin on her face. She may also notice a dark line forming on her stomach; this is normal and usually disappears a few months after delivery. The mother-to-be may also notice that her breast begin leaking. This is colostrum, which is a premilk substance that is rich in antibodies for a newborn baby.
Some women will be startled when they first experience contractions in the third trimester; however, they are usually caused by Braxton Hicks contractions. Women may feel a tightening sensation that spreads across the abdomen. Some women do feel pain during the contraction; however, the pain should not become intense or increase in strength. The contractions will usually stop if a woman changes positions, rests or walks around.
Emotional Changes
As the delivery date draws near, many women go through emotional changes. They may feel scared, excited and overwhelmed all at once. Hormonal fluctuations and anxiety over the birth can cause the mother-to-be to experience many emotions. Many women find it helpful to attend birthing classes; seek support from their spouse, friends or family; discuss the birth with their doctor or midwife; and create a birth plan during this time.
Discomforts in the Third Trimester
As the mom-to-be's abdomen grows and increased pressure is put on certain parts of her body, she may experience a few different discomforts. The mom-to-be may experience backaches or sciatic nerve pain (sharp pains that run from the lower back down the leg). She may also experience frequent urination from pressure on the bladder. She may have heartburn and shortness of breath from the placenta pushing on the stomach and lungs. Some women also notice an increase in vaginal discharge, which may be uncomfortable, but is usually normal. The mom-to-be may also experience hemorrhoids during the later stages of pregnancy.

Above It All never wants individuals or families to feel as though they cannot afford or access the life-saving treatment that they need for addiction.
Lake Arrowhead, Calif. (PRWEB) September 06, 2016
Above It All Treatment Center supports increased focus on the need for effective treatment for substance use and mental health disorders. Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008, health insurances providers were required to cover these services. However, over the years, some providers have implemented processes that make it more difficult for clients to afford treatment because of barriers through their insurance and low reimbursement. Above It All Treatment Center continues to fight for parity and proper reimbursement and urges clients and other treatment providers to make their voices heard as well.
According to the recent article published in The Daily Courier, on August 13, over the past few months, one of the largest health insurance providers in California and Arizona, Health Net, began taking steps toward stopping reimbursement payments to addiction treatment providers. Clients who were told that their treatment was covered have found themselves faced with thousands of dollars in outstanding fees for service due to claims that were not paid by their insurance health providers. These clients were unable to admit to any treatment centers because all centers knew HealthNet would not pay. In March, Centene bought HealthNet for $6.3 billion, and since have started paying some claims. However, they are paying significantly less than what was originally billed. Despite efforts to peacefully resolve these issues, mutually agreeable terms were not reached and multiple treatment centers have filed lawsuits against Health Net for unpaid claims. (BC630332, Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles) (CV2016-009984 Superior Court of the State of Arizona, County of Maricopa).
While the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008 (MHPAEA) prohibits discrimination for mental health and addiction treatment and requires comparable standards as those applied to medical/surgical care, Above It All Treatment Center believes there are still disparities. For instance, under some insurance plans, people seeking addiction treatment must attain pre-authorization, show proof of payment, show that outpatient or previous treatment was unsuccessful before being approved for residential care, or submit a written treatment plan detailing services. Some insurance plans put limits on geographic location for care and require that centers have specific licensure. These same requirements are not typically in place for people seeking general medical/surgical services.
"It places an unfair burden on individuals struggling to receive the treatment they need for recovery from substance use disorders and/or mental health disorders," said Hillary Ortiz, Treatment Specialist at Above It All Treatment Center.
Ortiz continued, "Many people have a general expectation that if you have insurance and you are sick, that you should be able to get the treatment you need. Many people who call for rehab treatment are shocked that their plan does not cover nearly as much as it should or as they were led to believe. When I have to relay that kind of news to people [that their insurance won't cover drug rehab or alcohol abuse treatment], it's heartbreaking and defeating. They are left feeling like, 'Now what? How can I possibly get the help I need?'"
Above It All never wants individuals or families to feel as though they cannot afford or access the life-saving treatment that they need for addiction. That is why Above It All continues to bring awareness to the public regarding the battle over parity, reimbursement, affordability and coverage for rehab. Above It All advocates for action on the part of policy holders and treatment professionals alike and supports the Addiction Treatment Advocacy Coalition's (ATAC)'s recent petition for improved access to benefits for addiction treatment and proper reimbursement for rehab services. Signing this petition supports the ATAC's mission of providing legal and political advocacy, education and consumer protection for those seeking addiction treatment.
Substance use and mental health disorders should be treated with the same seriousness and attention as other health conditions, and Above It All will continue to fight for parity while providing clients with the exceptional care and support they have come to expect from the Center.
Above It All Treatment Center is a fully accredited addiction treatment center located in Lake Arrowhead, California. Above It All is licensed and certified by the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS), accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), and a member of the National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers (NAATP). The facility offers evidence-based models of treatment and follows the 12-step methodology. In addition, clients engage in holistic activities to strengthen mind, body and spirit, as they are equipped with the strategies and resources necessary for recovery. Above It All is nestled high in the San Bernardino Mountains providing a beautiful and serene environment.

On Monday afternoon, as the announcement of Exxon CEO Rex Tillerson's nomination as secretary of State loomed, representatives of leading climate change advocacy groups held a telebriefing called #ExxonKnew.
The speakers included Kathy Mulvey, the climate accountability campaign manager at the Union of Concerned Scientists; Annie Leonard, the executive director of Greenpeace; and Bill McKibben, the author and co-founder of 350.0rg, an NGO focused on addressing climate change issues.
"Coupled with the nomination of Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt for EPA administration, there's a real concern that President-elect Trump is creating a government of, by, and for the oil and gas industry," Mulvey said in her statement, adding, "The analogy of the nomination of Rex Tillerson for secretary of state would be akin to nominating a tobacco CEO as surgeon general."
Leonard expressed similar sentiments on behalf of Greenpeace.
"In nominating Rex Tillerson as potential secretary of State, Trump may have found the only person in the country with more conflicts of interest than himself," she said. "Greenpeace has enormous concerns about this, about what this means for our climate and about what this means for our country. Running the government is really an honor, it's not a business opportunity."
Overall, as McKibben put it, progressive activists can expect environmentalists and human rights activists to join forces against Tillerson's confirmation.
"I think it's safe to say that the environmental community is going to be joining with people in the human rights community and others in heavily mobilized opposition to this nomination and all that it represents going forward," McKibben said.
In 2009, Tillerson had said that the carbon tax was "the most efficient means of reflecting the cost of carbon in all economic decisions — from investments made by companies to fuel their requirements to the product choices made by consumers." Asked whether progressives would be willing to support Tillerson if he hypothetically backed a pro-environment policy like the carbon tax, McKibben was incredulous from the start.
"I think there's literally no chance that he will follow through on that in any way," he predicted.
Mulvey then went into a little more detail.
"What the robust carbon cap or tax should really put the economy on a trajectory toward science-based cuts in emissions that are really needed to limit some of the worst impacts of climate change," she said. "We'd be looking at those considerations as well as a good policy design that would address potential equity implications of the price on carbon."

What Do You Do About Cat Fleas?
If you've got cat fleas, you need to look into a flea control method to safeguard your pet. Cats are often susceptible to fleas, and they can easily get them from wandering around outside, other animals, or from trips to the vet. This page will give you some useful tips and information about flea control specifically with regards to cats.
Fleas are often more easily avoidable in cats than with other animals - mainly because an easy method is simply to make sure that your cat is an indoor cat. Generally, you shouldn't ever let cats outside anyway - they don't need to go out, and they will live much longer if kept indoors. The average life span for an indoor cat is 14 years, as opposed to three years for a cat that goes outside. Cars, diseases, accidents, and other animals are all good reasons to keep your cat inside even aside from the cat flea problem.
Cats actually do have fleas specific to them (Ctenocephalides felis), and these small, black fleas like to target cats specifically. You can usually tell if your cat has fleas easily - if you run a comb through its hair, and you get little pieces of small, black dirt, then it probably has cat fleas. This dirt is actually flea excrement, and you will need to adopt a flea control program.
Most of the other suggested methods work for cats as well - vacuum and use flea control products on any area where your cat sleeps or hangs out, because there will be flea eggs and adult fleas there. Steam clean the carpets, which will kill most of the eggs. If you must let your cat outdoors, you might get a professional to clean the yard, or you can apply products to the area that you think will be within the cat's territory.
You also need to make sure that your flea control product is approved for cats. Don't EVER just go grab a dog flea control method and use it on a cat - they're different animals, and it can cause serious health problems sometimes if you do. Run anything with chemicals by your vet - usually all it takes is a quick phone call, and you can get recommended cat flea control products to get rid of cat fleas. There are a couple of big brands to look at - Frontline, Advantage, Revolution, and Program.

text: Pivotal Moments in your Career- Liz Johnson Pivotal Moments in your Career- Liz Johnson A poignant subject as we enter a period in which many athletes involved in Summer sports will find themselves vying for Olympic or Paralympic selection… Trials season- very often an occasion that an athlete will identify as a career defining moment for the simple reason that if team selection is achieved it is seen as a success and if selection is missed then this is seen as a failure but, nothing is that simple. I've come to understand this through my career as an athlete which has spanned 20 years and has been packed full of highs and lows, peaks and troughs, taken me on a journey of self discovery and educated me in a way far beyond the capabilities of any textbook that I've read or academic course that I've taken. The realities of being an athlete are that we take comfort from the structure that our regimes dictate and we thrive on being the dictators of our own destiny yet those moments that often have the biggest impact on our careers are seldom within our control. Pivotal career moments can develop from both positive or negative experiences and it is important to remind ourselves that we are not defined by a single moment in time. We cannot control every situation that is going to arise within our career –or lifetime for that matter – but we can always control our response. I like to use the mantra that "obstacles create opportunities" and have found that it serves as a reminder that there is always a way to succeed even if life throws you a curve ball which makes your original or preferred plan of action unviable. There are certain occurrences within everyday life that will pose the biggest challenges in the life of an athlete; demands of education, loss of a loved one, changes in relationship status, financial stresses, relocation. If we add these to the factors that massively impact the athlete lifestyle such as injury and illness, victory, defeat, missed selection, realisation of a long term goal, work/life/training balance then it becomes evident that there are so many factors that could potentially present situations that require career impacting decisions. There is no right or wrong choice in any of these cases, all that is important is what is the correct decision for you. I've been very fortunate (or unfortunate depending on how you look at it) to experience all of the above situations and it would be very difficult for me to pinpoint only one as a pivotal moment in my career as each experience had a significant impact on how my career progressed and fitted into my path like a piece of a jigsaw puzzle. I have always tried to use the disappointments of a missed selection and a missed podium from my early teenage years, at the beginning of my international career, to fuel my ambitions and desires to succeed which I think has served me well during the later stages of my career. The most significant season in my career was one in which I graduated from University, broke a World record, got injured and then achieved my swimming dream of winning a Paralympic Gold medal just 10 days after losing a parent to cancer. I could never have predicted everything that was going to happen that season but it made me a stronger, more resilient person and I gained more insight and perspective than ever before. I survived. There have been seasons where preparations have been perfect but the results have not. That's life. You can only judge yourself on the execution of things that you can control, trust your instincts and believe in yourself. Whenever your faced with a difficult decision, always think back to the young child you were when you fell in love with your sport and decided you wanted to participate. Do it for them.

Dates.. come from the Tamara tree, or more commonly known as a Date Palm. I love them. But all these years I avoided them because they look like cockroaches. Fun facts about dates: They provide calcium, zinc, iron, copper, magnesium, and other minerals. This fruit is rich is dietary fiber that prevents LDL cholesterol absorption in the gut. They are a moderate source for vitamins A, K and B. They are full of potassium. They contain antioxidants that are known to be anti-infection, anti-inflammatory, and anti-hemorrhagic. Who knew so much goodness could be packed in an ugly little fruit.
Day 8. Holy energy batman. For the first time in forever, (did you sing it too?) I had so much energy this morning I did a home workout. I was a flabby, uncoordinated mess but I finished! My motivation, to get my core and legs strong enough to mountain bike with my son. I so badly wish we didn't lose muscle when we take a little too much time off. I guess it wouldn't be hard work, and worth some respect if we did. In the midst of huffing and puffing and watching the women who seem to have bodies of steal, I was so intimidated. But I had this thought; could this be why I have failed over and over again? because I never felt good enough? I never felt I would get to that level of working out. What is does working out really look like for an average person? Do most people flail and wobble like a drunk panda bear?
I wish a workout video had a true beginner, a person who has been working out a few months and then a pro. Wouldn't that be a good video?To have the person shaking and falling over and taking pauses in the back to remind you how far you have come? And I am not talking about those ones with the low impact chair using people, with their half pound pink dumbbells. I want to see a person in the background eyes rolling and curse words flying, falling over from muscle failure. I want to see the pro pep talk that person! And then I have to remind myself, most people who are figures in the fitness world do this for a living. They live, breathe, and eat barbells and squats. So a round of applause for me!!! The first work out of the new year.. the first workout in like a year. I didn't die.
I bought a package of Tofu a few days ago. EVERYONE in the house made a comment. "Tofu?" TOFU!! "Ewwwwww Tofu." I have had tofu a few times at a Mongolian Grill. I felt like it took on the taste of anything you cooked it with so I figured it would be good to have on hand just in case. Well tonight's the night. I am hungry and I want something different. Heb picks out this recipe: Tofu and veggies in peanut sauce. It was sooooo good I am already wanting to make it again. My two youngest who were home ate it all up! Tofu is on the grocery list.
My misconception about "animal protein replacements" is they taste like the real thing. I think with the art of food photography I looked at a picture of Vegan mac and cheese and in my head tasted creamy Velveeta mac and cheese. WRONG! Vegan "cheesy" sauce is not cheese so why expect it to taste like cheese? Well its cheesy like I guess. Same with portabelles being used in place of hamburger. They don't taste like beef, but have a beefy taste. So I am learning to drop all expectations when I try these "replacements" because they taste better when you do. The cheesy queso I made does not taste like what comes in the jar, but more excitingly it hits the right spot on the taste-buds for queso, leaving me HAPPY because it has more health benefits.
Day 9. Feels like I am beginning to get in a groove. Last week I made Chili using a bean and lentil mix I got at Costco. EVERYONE keeps asking me to make more. So today after soaking the beans overnight, I started a big big batch. I am sure there won't be left overs.
The topic of vegetarian and vegan keep getting brought up. The idea for those in my family who want to continue to eat meat is to limit the animal protein intake. I hear most from people who don't embrace a fruit and veggie lifestyle is, they like their meat way too much. I am ok with that. But what I realize more and more about myself is how much meat I forced myself to eat. I have never been very keen on most meat, with the exception of ham and bacon and sushi fish. Not a big fan of pork roast or pork chops, even though I would eat them. I really don't like steak (except on a Philly sandwich). I wish I could understand why people love it so much. I would pick a chicken nugget over a hamburger most days. And I found myself eating spaghetti or lasagna with meat sauce, and most the meat would be left over on the plate. In fact my favorite meats tend to be watered down with additives so I am not really sure how much of it was exactly meat.
In my course of gaining and losing weight I have done low carb diets several times. I liked that I really didn't have to measure or keep track of food, I just had to stay away from Carbs. Recently I attempted this type of diet once again, but I found myself eating nothing more than ham and cheese. LOTS of Cheese. Very little veggies. I was left unsatisfied and I slept a lot. After two weeks I dropped it because I couldn't stand the idea of eating any more meat. While I understand the benefit from not eating meat on a environmental, and animal cruelty level, I am honestly doing this with completely different motives.
Day 10 and I am sick. I am glad I ordered Barlean's chocolate greens. I have been using these for several years. In fact I started using them the first time I went whole food eating. I like the chocolate one best because my youngest thought it was chocolate milk and had no issues drinking them. I personally find them to be really sweet with Stevia, but when you are in a pickle for a whole food packed drink this one takes the cake. My favorite way to drink them is to blend in scoop with a banana and frozen berries, it cuts the sweetness and adds more nutrients And just like that BAM my husband had the kids fed this morning.

I was emailed an invitation by Mothercare to complete a survey last week. "This simple survey will only take about 10 minutes to complete" it said. I thought it might be interesting so I clicked on the link and set to work.
It started off easily enough, but three pages/questions in I noticed that the progress bar was barely shifting after each question and I began to wonder what I had let myself in for. The third question asked me to tick which of about a dozen baby and child web sites I visit 'regularly' and then which I'd bought from; not so hard, though I've no idea whether 'regularly' means weekly, monthly or what.
Then came the first of several essentially impossible questions; 'And which website have you bought MOST from in the past 12 months?'. How the **** am I supposed to know? I have a baby. Do they think that I have the time to create a spreadsheet with all my purchases coded by merchant and product category so that I can run a report to identify where I'm spending the most? A few more easy questions, and then: "Roughly how much do you spend on kids and baby products each month both online and in total?' Few people – when faced with a question like this – could do more than make a wild guess. At this point the progress bar was scarcely more than a quarter of the way to 100% and if I weren't professionally involved with ecommerce then I would have bailed out. Three or four questions later and my patience had run out, with the progress bar still stubbornly below the halfway mark. I just couldn't face trying to remember what the Mothercare site was like, and so wasn't in a position to score it on 8 different factors.
I can't believe that this survey will yield any useful results. It is not credible to imagine that a significant percentage of customers will make it all the way through to the end. Those that do make it will surely represent a skewed sample, and most will have guessed many of the responses.
Don't get me wrong. I love Mothercare and I dread to think how much money they make from the Meath Baker household. But I don't love them enough to get brain ache trying to answer questions for 10 minutes, not least when I don't know the answers.
Why spend precious management time on a survey that will be reliable as a Met Office weather forecast? One of the beauties of online retail is that pretty much everything can be measured, and therefore tested. If you want to improve your website, don't waste money on a survey; get some multi-variate testing software and test, test, test.

The US has just lost a major trade battle with Mexico and it revolved around tuna. Tuesday, the World Trade Organisation ruled that Mexico is allowed to impose $163m (127m) a year in sanctions against the US on trade in tuna, ending a years long dispute. Clash, which dates back to 2008, centred on the US insisting that any Mexican tuna sold in the US must have a 'dolphin safe' guarantee, meaning that no dolphins were killed by fishermen catching the tuna..

I am trying to play my way through all however many freecell games there are. I am stuck on number 13. Well it's #13 on my palm pilot. But I don't know if that would correlate to other programs. Will have to check before the shareware license runs out. I only started 2 days ago. And I'm not expecting to finish for a very long time… at least October 😀 . Luckily I have a freeware version on my palm as well. It's just not as aesthetically pleasing as the shareware one.
I had quite a nice day at work today. Mainly because my boss was doing a job that I normally do on Wednesdays. This was good because a) it is extremely boring and b) as he is not used to doing it, this kept him out of my way for most of the day and c) now I don't have to come in early tomorrow to do it. Hurrah!

Hey loves,
It's Sunday again! Time for some fashion and pleated styling.
We are closer to Monday. Another week to be grateful for wellness, to live the simple life and a much more meaningful one. 💕
Pleated skirt has been a fashion staple for a long time now. It's no news that it's back in, with other trends like bell sleeves and embroidery. Although, with a few twist and turns on how it looks and how it's rocked these days. One thing is sure. It Bangs!!
(Peng. As twitter streets would say. Lol!)
I've had this skirt for a long while now and I still can remember why I snagged it in the first place.
The color: if you didn't know I love this shade of green (leaf green) it is absolutely flattering on my skin tone. So, it's an absolute Yes, Yes! For me. Be it shoes, purse, earrings. I will love it in this shade of green.
The size of the pleats: I know, I know the trendy pleats now, are the metallic large sized ones but, I don't care, don't care, don't care. I love this one 😜.
The slit: I particularly love that I can tilt the slit to whatever direction I want. I'm talking back, front, side… you name it.
Now you know why this skirt has a place in my closet. I decided to go the colorful route when styling this. It just gave me retro fever and I couldn't help but be smitten with every print and colors I threw on.
Now, I agree that there's something about my natural hair that makes me sassy 💁🏽! (I need an Afro emoji already 😫). I styled my hair in a semi pineapple and added these cute earrings. The shades and top added the right amount of bad and boujee. To round it up I threw in these cute sneakers that doubles as my workout shoes. Talk about functional.
I can think of more than five ways to style this skirt. Whether it be with a cami and blazer or crisp white shirt with a funky flat or with a cardigan and tall heels. Truth is that you'll slay either ways. You also wanna keep up with my blog as I'll definitely be styling this skirt in the nearest future.
Oh, if you missed my post on how I got rid of my acne. Here!
Wishing you my lovely reader an awesome week ahead. Be kind to yourself and others. 🌸

Simply Beautiful Hair Accesories Become Functional
I established Chloe Reese in 2001 after my baby girl, Chloe Reese, was born. I wanted high quality, unique hair accessories that were both functional (meaning they would fit for more than one week) and beautiful (more than just a basic bow). When I was unable to find any, I began making my own. Compliments and inquiries from friends followed and after non-stop requests, she decided it was time to make the big jump and begin selling her products. Her designs were initially sold in fine baby retailers, on E-bay, at home parties, and eventually online.
2001 seems like a long time ago and since then, hair accessory companies have become all the rage with companies popping up everywhere. We continue to commit ourselves to create stand out products that are the most durable, comfortable, and timelessly stylish accessories out there. We are so grateful for your loyal support and hope that you feel our accessories are the best you can find.
A little about my self--My husband Dan and I have been married for 16 years. We have five SPUNKY children: Chloe, Cade, Chance, and Cysie (pronounced Ki-see), and Crew. I am a fierce competitor. I adore vacuum marks. I am LDS. I use perfume every day. I laugh out loud while reading. I return phone calls. I graduated from BYU. I love to create.

Happy New Year, and welcome to 2014! My winter vacation has just begun, but the rest of the world is probably settling back into a more normal routine with perhaps some lighter and more refreshing eats. I can't wait to browse the aisles and find old and new products to jump start the new year.

If you have Sleep Apnea, your throat becomes blocked during sleep. Your breathing is completely or nearly completely obstructed for short periods of time. To eliminate the obstruction, you must briefly wake up. The cycle repeats many times throughout the night.
Symptoms of Sleep Apnea
Sleep Apnea also makes you or your child more likely to develop certain other health problems such as high blood pressure, heart problems and stroke.
- Snoring
- Gasping or snorting in your sleep
- Waking up tired after a full night's sleep
- Waking up with a headache
- Feeling very sleepy during the day
- Having problems with memory or concentration
- Fall asleep easily without meaning to
- Being cranky or short-tempered
Evaluation of Sleep Apnea
Your doctor will conduct a physical exam and probably ask you or your child to participate in a sleep study.
In a sleep study, your breathing, heart rate, oxygen level and other functions are measured and recorded. The findings help determine which treatment will best help you or your child.
Treatment of Sleep Apnea
Sleep Apnea can lead to serious health problems. Treatment can help prevent those problems.
Your doctor can discuss with you the various treatment options for snoring and Sleep Apnea. Treatment can help you or your child breath freely again so you get a good night's sleep. Some available treatments that can reduce or eliminate Sleep Apnea include:
- Mouthpieces
- Air pressure treatment
- Surgical procedures
Changing some habits may also help to stop snoring and prevent mild Sleep Apnea. Sleeping on the side, losing weight, avoiding alcohol, the use of certain medications and unblocking the nose may all help.
Work with your doctor to get the most out of your treatment plan. It can also help you and your family get quiet, restful sleep. This will let you or your child wake up feeling alert, refreshed and ready to face the day.

The year started out like a pretty standard new year. I had my 1st prenatal check up (which was an absolute clusterfuck because the idiot who made my appointment somehow mistook "prenatal" for "annual exam" and they had to squeeze in my viability ultrasound between several other appointments...but I digress). Everything there was fine, baby is right where we thought it was (and yes, I call baby "it". Lay off me.) and has a heartbeat and all that good stuff.
3 days later was a hard day for my family. Bug, my oldest, had been peeing constantly and even wetting his bed for the 1st time in 3 years. I was immediately concerned, and I had a pretty good idea as to what it was. Daddy took him to see his doctor Friday and my suspicions were confirmed; Bug has diabetes. I was good, I was hanging in there, I was cool as a cucumber. And then Bug wanted to talk to me. He needed his Mama. As soon as he came on the phone I lost it. He was so scared and so sad, and all he could muster to say was that he couldn't eat anymore sugar. Trying to tell a 4-year-old over the phone that everything is going to be ok is not an easy feat. I left work and joined them for the remaining doctors appointments that day. The last week has been a whirlwind, with blood-sugar testing and insulin injections and doctor's appointments. My 4-year-old has proven to be much more stable than his mother, because he is handling this better than anyone could have expected. I, on the other hand, cry like a baby anytime anyone asks me how we're doing.
We're doing ok, as ok as I can expect us to be doing. Someday we will be fine and someday after that we will be great. But today? Today we are just ok. I could really use a
