We have an online RSVP page. I don't want to waste money on stamps people are just going to throw out. The options I'm considering are:
- Include a card instructing people to RSVP online or by phone
- Include paper RSVPs with no SASE
- Include paper RSVPs with an SASE for all guests
- Include a card for most guests, paper RSVPs for older guests who would expect it
With option 2, we will probably include stamps for the few people that we think would be offended if we don't (basically those that are 60+ and non-computer users).

How do you know when your investments are performing well? The question is more complicated than it sounds. It is also an important one, because making the right investment choices can mean the difference between achieving your financial goals and falling short.
Find the Right Benchmarks
The traditional way to measure investment performance is to compare results with an appropriately matched index. Assuming your portfolio and the index share similar characteristics, this method can provide you with valuable information about your investments' performance.
If your portfolio outperforms this index — particularly over the long term — you generally can feel confident in your investment selections. However, if your portfolio regularly underperforms the index, it is time to investigate. One common reason investments such as mutual funds lag their benchmark indexes is because of the expenses associated with managing these funds. So, before you assume you own a dud, compare your fund's expense ratio to the performance lag.
For a single investment, it is often easy to find a suitable benchmark. In fact, the prospectus of every mutual fund lists an official benchmark. However, when you are trying to evaluate an entire portfolio diversified across multiple asset classes, such as domestic stocks, domestic bonds and foreign securities, you may need a customized benchmark composed of several indexes. By combining several indexes, you are more likely to arrive at a useful frame of reference.
Remember Risk
Comparing your portfolio's performance to that of an index or combination of indexes provides valuable information. However, it misses a key variable that is critical to investment evaluation: risk.
Consider two portfolios that generate the same 10% gain during a 12-month period. The first achieves that performance with highly volatile securities, while the second does so with relatively conservative investments. Most investors would agree that the second portfolio is the better performer because it achieves the same results with less risk.
This concept is referred to as risk-adjusted return. It can be quantified using a variety of sophisticated statistical tools such as standard deviation and the Sharpe ratio. Your advisor can help you apply these tools to determine your portfolio's risk-adjusted return.
Focus on Goals
Another way to evaluate investment performance is to employ a goals-based perspective, meaning that you invest not to achieve a particular return but to realize personal objectives. In other words, you do not necessarily need your portfolio to return 8% every year for the next five years, but you do want to be able to afford college for your kids or health care costs in retirement.
With a goals-based approach, the process starts with a specific assessment of the amount of money you will need to achieve your objectives. Then, based on your current savings coupled with assumptions about such factors as future investment performance, savings rates and inflation, you can measure the progress you are making toward your goals. If you are ahead of your target, you may want to invest more conservatively to reflect your progress with the added bonus of lowering risk. And, if you are behind where you need to be, you can start saving more or invest more aggressively to generate a higher potential return (albeit with greater risk).
Goals-based investing is fairly complex because your objectives, life circumstances and savings ability are constantly changing. For this technique to be valuable, you will need to work closely with your advisor to keep your goals and financial assumptions current.
An Approach that Fits
There is no one right way to measure your portfolio's performance. Each of these methods can be worthwhile. Your financial advisor can help you view your investments in the right context and give you the tools you need to feel confident about the future.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.

Changing the face of Legal Education in Kenya!
Professor Ernest Ojukwu, giving a lecture to Lecturers of the Kenyatta University School of Law (KUSOL).
"Effective learning should impart a capacity in the minds of the students to seek out more information. This calls for outcome based learning as opposed to content based learning". Prof. Ernest Ojukwu.
Professor Ernest Ojukwu, a man who wears many hats in the legal academia, but amongst them, an expert in legal education, and who has assisted many legal institutions towards reforming legal education towards creating effective, capable and potent lawyers, has for the past two days (26th−27th May 2014) engaged with the lecturers of Kenyatta University School of law in the Clinical Legal Education Teacher Training Workshop.
The workshop focused on a variety of issues including, the art of teaching law, lawyering skills, teaching methods, assessment methods, how to prepare a lesson plan among others. Importantly, the Professor also shared his experience on a number of challenges that inevitably surround legal educators and institutions across Africa. He challenged the Lecturers present, to surmount the various challenges and emphasized that they should never be a hindrance to the achievement of effective learning by law students.

JACKSON COUNTY, IL (KFVS) - Authorities are still investigating after a deadly vehicle fire involving an employee of Southern Illinois University.
According to the Jackson County Sheriff's Office, they received the report of a burned vehicle found down an embankment off of Cedar Creed Road, about a half-mile west of Union Hill Road, in rural Makanda at about 11 a.m. on Tuesday, June 10.
They say the preliminary investigation showed that the driver of a 2012 Dodge minivan, going westbound on Cedar Creek Road, failed to make a right-hand turn. It left the road and hit a tree, then went down an embankment and caught fire.
Officers say the driver of the van was found in the driver's seat. According to the sheriff's office, the victim has been identified as Cory Lee Warren, 26, of Marion, Illinois.
Warren was an employee of the Southern Illinois University athletic department.
According to the university's website, the 2013 season was Cory Warren's second season serving as a Saluki graduate assistant in charge of the team's outside linebackers.
The vehicle was owned by the university.
The time of the crash has not been determined, however officers say it is believed have happened during the overnight hours between June 9 and June 10.
At the time when it was found, the fire had burned itself out.
The exact cause of death is pending a pathology report.
The Jackson County Coroner, Dr. Thomas Kupferer, scheduled an autopsy for Wednesday afternoon.
The Jackson County Sheriff's Office and the Jackson County Coroner's Office is conducting the ongoing investigation. The SIU Department of Public Safety is assisting.

At the May meeting we finalised the selection of books for the next four meetings, and not too much blood was shed. Here is the list of books:
22nd June A Fire Upon the Deep by Vernor Vinge
This is a classic hard Sci-Fi space opera. Planets destroyed by relativistic missiles, a galaxy destroying computer virus and telepathic dogs.
27th July Nightfall One and Two by Isaac Asimov
The Asimov anthology Nightfall and Other Stories, published in 1969, is one of the best ever collections of Asimov's short fiction. Sadly it's no longer available, but it was reprinted as two volumes, Nightfall One and Nightfall Two, and those two books are the reading for the July meeting. Don't be put off by having to read two books – it's really just one book split into two thin books in an attempt by the publisher to make more money. You'll find the Nightfall books in all the best second hand books stores, or I've provided links to used copies on Amazon.
24th August The Tales of Bauchelain and Korbal Broach by Steven Erikson
Erikson is best known for writing hugely long books in hugely long series, but don't be put off because this is a modest length book containing three novellas. The stories are funny, but it's exceedingly dark humour! Copies of the books will be provided courtesy of Kyle and the Pound Shop, so you have absolutely no reason not to read this book!
28th September Two Elric books, The Stealer of Souls and Stormbringer by Michael Moorcock
If you've never heard of Michael Moorcock's doomed anti-hero Elric shame be upon you! Now is your chance to make amends.
The only problem with the Elric books is finding them because they're all out of print and can be hard to find. Matters get even more confused because some of the books have been printed under different titles. The link I've provided is to a compendium of two of the books, The Stealer of Souls and Stormbringer, and these are the two we'll be reading for the meeting. I've provided a link to the two book compendium on Amazon, but you'll also find the individual books in second hand bookshops across the land. NB these are the versions reprinted by Del Ray fairly recently, and not the originals published in the seventies.
Like lots of authors, Moorcock started off writing short stories and these were later mangled together into books. The Stealer of Souls is a collection of five stories and Stormbringer is a collection of four novellas. Together the books collect a good selection of the early Elric stories.
Happy reading!

So what do you all think of Gunka no Baltzar?
I'm actually surprised, after that terrible first couple of chapters, it's gotten much better, especially with those end of volume "Knowledge Collections"
>Ch.21 never
Decent (like 6,5/10 or something) but I cannot believe that no one translates Ad Astra - Scipio to Hannibal.
Cavalry-chan is still Best-chan
Will he fuck the tomboy?
I'm still waiting for the Baltzar/Gisele Alain crossover
They basically take place in the same time period, right?
One takes place in France and the other in notPrussia
they're kinda in different universes
>Muh Rifles
>what I expected
Prussian Onizuka
>what I got
LoGH not IN SPACE
Great, i like it. Too bad the release is sparse. Its a monthly or something release i guess, cant be helped.
Your taste is wonderful and you are a great person.
The back-cover of volume 6, released a couple of weeks ago with Helmut
Has she grown her hair out recently?
What he says. Decent. I wouldn't waste money on volumes, but it's nice enough to read not to drop it.
I want the volumes purely for the cover art.
It's all great.
So, how did they react when they got to know she is a girl?
Probably my favorite MC in recent years.
Amazingly smooth without stepping too far and ending up as 2cool4u
But she is lewd.
Well, considering she allows her self to be in the company of Dancers (Honestly, of all people!) should make this no surprise
That's 13 year old girls for you.
Railroads were serious business back then. They could make or break a country.
19th Century is Best Century
Remember Prussia and Austro-Hungary and when Russia wasn't known about being commies but dirty serfs? Yeah, good times.
>Decent (like 6,5/10 or something)
Sounds about right.
I'd give it a 7
He's like an Alpha Yang Wenli without the semi-circle magic.
So his "rival" (the guy he almost joined a revolution with back in the day) is Reinhard? If only Kircheis were here.
I don't know about that, but I do know that in this story Yang is now on the Imperial side and unlike LOGH the man in charge of Prussia's military isn't complacent.
Kircheis is probably Yuri's big brother or some shit who died during the revolt saving One Eyed Reinhard.
Does this manga has glorious suicide charges of light cavalry?
It had a glorious suicide charge of infantry. Cavalry so far was useful but the only enemy they faced were insurgent townsfolk rabble.
Well, we've only just recently transitioned into an actual declared war, so while we haven't seen one yet, we might see one soon.
>Historically accurate weapons
I love this series
Why is his hair so fabulous?
>Quick Translations = never
Other than that, it's an awesome series.
I really like it.
>cavalry only useful against peasant rabble.
Sounds like cavalry alright.
Even though the main characters are still almost kids, the detachment they got to command is full of veterans. I'll be curious how they'll handle it when the whole academy will need to mobilize.
He's trying to get around to convincing the Cavalry that their place is AROUND the battlefield as the best recon troops in the game, not ON the battlefield where they'll simply be slaughtered by well trained forces.
But it's hard to change centuries of tradition
Being german i kind of like seeing something taken from our past that isn't nazi germany and used for an alternate history (yes i know it takes place in a quasi europe not a copy of the real europe) story.
So far i also really like the story. Baltzer comes of as a bit of a too competent character but that's kind of usual in these kind of manga.
Is that really Helmut or just the Empress of the "Austria" of that world... forget it's name.
Talking about her, maybe it's the art style but i sometimes forget Helmut is a woman.
Yeah that kind of sums it up. Though it hasn't reached LoGH level of character overload.
Except that the needle rifles look k98 rifles. But personaly i forgive that as long as they look fitting enough to the time period.
i found it great in the beginning, but i lost interest since then. haven't read the last few chapters.
that antagonist is just too retarded. i wish he never stepped into the piscture.
As World War I pretty much showed on the western front.
The chapter about the bicycle race looks like it was pretty much based on famous reports from the beginning of the war when cavalry units found themself quickly outflanked by infantry units that had taken charge ahead of the main force via bicycles (proper more modern ones). While more mobile in rougher terrain using roads had given the infantry a speed that had previously only been possible via trains (famously used in the american civil war) or forced marches.
Likewise scouts on bicycles quickly proved to be more usefull, thanks to rider not requiring long training.
Infact even the famous US cavalry had large employed tactics of quick dismounting to find cover in superior possitions rather than attacking enemies in open field because of the advance of breach loaded rifles and the usage or revolvers and semi-automatic weapons like the M1911.
>a bit of a too competent
I actually find it very refreshing.
Unlike other military characters, it isn't at all unrealistic for me to imagine Baltzer as a mustang officer because he has the skills to back it up. He's an officer with the skills of an officer.
And so far I can't say he's doing anything were he was unrealistically good.
I find the setting interesting because it so closely follows a real period but with a different universe, the the writer's hand aren't that tied.
Nevermind i accidently skipped that one >>102258073 it is Helmut.
Well at least now i know they survive the viking... i mean Holbeck attack.
>US cavalry had large employed tactics of quick dismounting to find cover in superior positions rather than attacking enemies in open field
The most famous example probably being John Buford's actions on the first day of the battle of Gettysburg where his cavalry's dismounted delaying action gave the Union forces time to reach the all important hills to the south east of the town.
So let me get this straight. "Republic" Erzeich or whatever is Austria? Weissen is Prussia, Holback is Denmark-Norway? What is Basseland in all this?
Baltzar is more or less a combination of Sharpe and Flashman (though closer to the Warhammer 40k homage Caiphas Cain).
Likely one of the smaller German states like Hanover, Bavaria, Wurrtemburg, Baden etc.
Ah ok. This is still being translated right?
The state of germany that is nowdays famous for the Oktoberfest.
Basicly back during the time of the holy roman empire they used to be one of the most powerfull states in germany. However during 17th century the northern state of preussia became a major power player thanks to their militarism and after the napoleonic wars they begann a campaign to unite the many german states under their rulership. In the meantime bavaria had fused with Austria.
Bismark was famously one of the driving forces behind the forced unification. Eventualy After a war with Denmark, Austria and France, Preussia became the defacto ruler of the german states uniting them for the first time in centuries.
So Baselands King being so close to uniting with the Erzreich empire is a homage to Bavaria uniting with Austria. Likewise Weißens attempt to unit all german states under one empire being a homage to Preussias actions (though we have yet to see Baltzars version of Bismark).
Even the newest conflict with Holbeck pays homage to the war against Denmark which led to Schleswing Holstein (Norther Trade Union in Baltzar) finaly being part of germany (there was a long complicated conflict over that country between germany and denmark).
Yes, the translation is still at the point where the war with Holbeck reaches the "formal Baseland divison" but the translation is still ongoing.
30 years war mango when
Oooh, nasty episode of history.
You would need a mangaka who has a liking for depressing stories to pull that one of, since it was pretty much a long episode of total war across an entire country.
Also Landsknecht uniforms are a bit difficult to draw in large numbers.
Just read that one up, holy shit what a clusterfuck.
Why didn't ubisoft put an assassin's creed game into that period?
This reminds me, the new chapter of Gate just came out. I fucking love military manga.
Same reason they didn't put one in China or Japan. They don't want to stray from their comfort zones.
I remember jokes about them refusing a german setting because they feared that players hearing a lot of german and german accents would quickly become confused, since these characters wouldn't automatically be villians or enemies.
I don't see Buford's name on that map
Well, your country produces two world wars, that comes with the territory
This is some Rose of Versailles territory. I really don't think the story will end well for Helmut.
Is Helmut even her real name?
>19th Century
>Happy Ending
It will end in one of two ways.
Either Death
Or first babies, followed by Death.
Buford rarely get's the credit he deserves
It's all part of making his own image so people remember him.
100 years war animu when
It's perfect..

In Numbers 11, we find the Israelites stuck in the wilderness because of their disobedience. In Exodus 16, God had sent manna to deliver the Israelites out of their hunger. But now they were getting tired of it.
Numbers 11:4-6 (NKJV), "Now the mixed multitude who were among them yielded to intense craving; so the children of Israel also wept again and said: 'Who will give us meat to eat? 5 We remember the fish which we ate freely in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic; 6 but now our whole being is dried up; there is nothing at all except this manna before our eyes!'"
This was all said to Moses and not directly to God. The children of Israel treated Moses as a middle-man between them and God. He would plead with God on their behalf many times, God would give him the message and he would then tell the Israelites what God had told him. Think about how tiring that must have felt! Of the 2.5 (or so) million Israelites, think of how many complaints were brought to Moses daily!
In Numbers 11:11, Moses brings their nagging request back to God and asks:
"Why have You afflicted Your servant? And why have I not found favor in Your sight, that You have laid the burden of all these people on me? 12 Did I conceive all these people? Did I beget them, that You should say to me, 'Carry them in your bosom, as a guardian carries a nursing child,' to the land which You swore to their fathers?13 Where am I to get meat to give to all these people? For they weep all over me, saying, 'Give us meat, that we may eat.' 14 I am not able to bear all these people alone, because the burden is too heavy for me. 15 If You treat me like this, please kill me here and now—if I have found favor in Your sight—and do not let me see my wretchedness!"
Moses was pretty fed up with his flock. He was being totally honest and straightforward with God; not holding back anything. He was imploring to the very heart of God. As a father, Moses probably felt like he was also the father to 2.5 million kids who, when they didn't get what they wanted, they cried and wept all over him as if he could push some magic button and everything would be okay.
I could imagine Moses thinking, "When will these people ever get a clue? With God's help, they were miraculously brought out of Egypt and saw many wonders done by the hand of God. Yet here they still are grumbling and complaining; wishing they were still back in Egypt?! Under slavery?! When will this ever end?!"
Then in verse 16, God answered him. In summary, God told Moses to gather 70 elders who would be spread out among the people and hear their complaints. These men would lessen the burden so that Moses wouldn't have to bear it alone. Then God promised Moses that the children of Israel would be provided with meat for one month. So much meat, in fact, that it would become "loathsome" to them.
Think about it for a moment. God was pretty upset with his people. He even called them a "stiff necked people" in Exodus. Part of the name Israel means struggling with God. So the Israelites really lived up to that name didn't they? Regardless of their behavior, God never backed away from His promise to their founding father Abraham. Despite their un-thankfulness for delivering them out of hundreds of years of bondage, God remained faithful to them.
After Moses heard from God, he asked Him for specifics. In verse 22, He asked:
"Shall flocks and herds be slaughtered for them, to provide enough for them? Or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to provide enough for them?"
He probably imagined himself telling the Israelites that God would provide but they would want to know how exactly He would provide. What kind of meat would He send? When would it come? How much of it would there be? Would it be fish? Birds? Beasts? It was a legitimate question…one I've asked God on many occasions.
God could have told them that He was going to send them quail (as He did later in verse 31) but instead He answered Moses' question with one simple line in verse 23:
Think about that for a moment and apply that to your own life. How many times have we implored and asked God for certain things…even the smallest things…and the only answer we receive is what His reply was to Moses? In that one simple line, God was saying, "Do you doubt me? Are you uncertain of whether or not I can do this? Do you question that I won't give you exactly what you want? Has my arm been shortened? Now…do you have faith that I will do exactly what I said I would?"

Subway and bus rides to work can be a frightening place if you loathe public transportation. Luckily, I don't. But I do find myself bored/needing a shield from wandering eyes and weirdos. So I turn to my iPhone readers… My favorite being Pocket, where you can read online articles offline… so it comes in handy when I need my fix of ThoughtCatalog and get some other reading done. The other day a guy was looking through my phone (Did I want to cry/shit my pants? Yes) and briefly scrolled through my saved articles on my Pocket app. Thank you, baby Jesus that he didn't decide to read in depth the titles of my articles, because he would have ran the other way… fast. So I present to you, the 7 most recently read articles on my Pocket.
What Kind of Single Person Are You?
Lets just say I sit somewhere in between the "Forever Alone" and the "Well Adjusted Single Person". Why, might you ask? (Or maybe you didn't ask because obviously you know me too well or can tell from my blog) Well, just read on…
Asian Expressions of Inadequacy
This dude knows my struggles as a non-stereotypical Asian. Ask me for help with your calculus/math homework one more time, and I swear to God I will flip a switch. I'm not good at math you motherfuckers. Just like the assholes in foreign countries (especially Europe) who think that just because I'm Asian I speak Chinese. One time I was walking through the Grand Bazaar in Turkey, and this Turkish merchant looks at me and goes, "Konnichiwa!" BITCH! First of all, I'm not fucking Japanese dude. Second of all, I don't speak Japanese. Third of all, I don't speak any Asian language. Lastly, I'm not from the motherland of Asia… I'm AMERICAN. Amurrrica bitches.
I Am Proud To Be A "Needy Girl"
Enough said. But I'm not proud… per se.
5 Reasons I've Probably Been Dumped
Maybe not the same reasons. But close enough.
Dear Beautiful Guys I Pass On The Street: I Love You
True story. It's a tough life when the streets of NYC are full of gorgeous, handsome men.
I'm An Asian Woman And I Refuse to Ever Date an Asian Man
I can empathize with this chick. Can't call that racist now, can you?
This just justifies my profanity. Apparently swearing is good for you, and makes you feel good. That's right motherfuckers.
You get the picture. Needless to say, what I read could possibly say a lot about me. Or does it? Maybe I'm not a needy, forever alone, single, hopeless asian racist who swears too much. Or maybe I am. You make the call.

As part of a trip to east Malaysia and Sarawak I took the opportunity to visit a friend who worked in an oil pumping business in Brunei during one day. Now when I am all pumped up about the oil it feels like a good idea to have a Brunei trivia.

Capturing fleeting moments
This story was featured in the February 2016 issue of Southwest Art magazine. Get the Southwest Art February 2016 print issue or digital download now–then subscribe to Southwest Art and never miss another story.
Californian Kim VanDerHoek recalls that one of her college professors once asked the class to write an essay answering the question, "Where do you see yourself in 10 years?" VanDerHoek says a vision came to mind immediately: "I saw myself sitting in front of an easel, painting," she says. "I've held onto that image for years."
VanDerHoek took a few detours before realizing her vision, though. After graduating from California College of the Arts in Oakland with a degree in illustration, she worked as a graphic designer for more than a decade before leaving to become a full-time mom. Although she didn't feel that her artistic talents had been well utilized at her former design job, she did feel a creative void without it. One Christmas her husband gave her an easel and suggested she paint again. Within a few months she was attending plein-air painting classes. "That's when I realized I had found my ideal job," VanDerHoek says.
Today the landscape painter is a regular participant in shows like Sonoma Plein Air and Plein Air Easton. Last year one of her works took home the Best of Show award at a Southern California Plein Air Painters Association event. In many ways VanDerHoek has returned to her roots and her childhood love of the outdoors. Growing up in Big Bear City, CA, she spent hours climbing trees, sledding down snow-covered hills, and hiking through the woods. Now she brings that passion to the canvas and is dedicated to capturing "unique and fleeting moments in time."
As a former graphic designer, VanDerHoek gravitates toward scenes with strong design elements, such as the scene she depicted in PADDLEBOARDS. "The way the colorful paddleboards were lined up against the color of the sand created a visual rhythm that inspired me," she says. "I like how one paddleboard on the left was out of step with the rest. The man with the oars provided a nice upright counterpoint to all the horizontal shapes of the paddleboards." —Bonnie Gangelhoff

SCRANTON -- The Armed Forces Day parade stepped off on Penn Avenue in Scranton Saturday morning.
Armed Forces Day celebrates the men and women who are currently serving our country.
The parade route went by the Gino Merli Veterans Center.
The procession included a number of bands, local veterans associations, and military groups.
For veterans who watched the parade, they said they are glad the city carries on this tradition.
"I think it's a great honor for Scranton and all of the veterans that live in the city of Scranton," said Stan Exeter of Scranton.
COLTS, the county bus system, offered free rides so people could get to the parade in Scranton.

Can you guys believe it's March 1 already? It's crazy how fast this year is flying by already. It's time for another Fashion Bloomer of the Month! If you're just tuning into the blog, check out my first of this feature to get a sense on what this is all about!
This month, I am featuring someone that means the absolute world to me. She's been there with me every step of the way throughout my life and inspires me to no end with the trials and challenges she's faced thus far on her life journey. And so, without further a-do, meet Samantha: My sister, rock, and best friend.
I am so excited to finally feature my sister and you can definitely expect to see more of her (and her adorable pup, Cash) in future posts. Her pictures turned out absolutely stunning as she's definitely the most photogenic person in our family. 😉 Styling her and getting her out of her comfort zone with a boho look was such a new and unique way for us to bond. It was also fun rocking her favorite style of a cozy tunic and leggings with her (it's definitely my go-to look as well!). It was such a relaxed and comfortable photo shoot. She's a natural!
Check out more about her and her personal style journey below (with some cute dog pictures along the way!), and get some new style inspiration!
So, what brought you to Bloom Boutique Blog?
I'm lucky enough to be related to the founder! I'm so proud of my little sister for chasing after her dream! I've truly been impressed by her drive and creativity, and I can't wait to see where it takes her.
Tell me a little about yourself and what you do!
I'm a Palliative Care Nurse Practitioner at the Medical College of Wisconsin. I work with patients facing serious illness, and help to provide mental, physical, and emotional support to them and their families. It's both challenging and rewarding work, and I feel blessed to be able to make a difference in the lives of others when it's needed the most.
What do you love about fashion?
I love that it allows you to express who you are in a very upfront way. I've always loved the way you can see someone's personality shine through just by what they're wearing.
How would you describe your personal style?
I'd say my style is usually pretty laid back. I've always been a big fan of comfort and functionality. I enjoy stepping outside the box every now and then, but I think Leah can attest to the fact that I tend to gravitate toward a relaxed, "safe" style.
What's your go-to fashion piece?
I love long, flowy tunic style tops and dresses. Lately I've been loving the maxi dress in the Summertime, which was something I never thought I could pull off until I gave it a try a couple years ago!
Are there any styles that you don't feel you can "pull off"?
I tend to shy away from anything too "edgy" or Boho. But I've always been intrigued by those particular looks.
How did you feel after being styled and being photo'd in that outfit?
I felt great! It definitely allowed me to see just how easy it can be to put something together that's so different from what I'm used to.
Has this experienced changed the way you view your personal style?
It's definitely given me a fresh look at new ways I can revamp my style! ….And I'm excited that I can take advantage of having a personal stylist in the family! I'm thankful to Leah for the experience – it was a blast!
HUGE shout out to Sam for opening up and sharing her style story. You look amazing and these photos truly reflect your inner beauty as well as outward. It was also a blast shooting with your little pup. I love you! And can't wait to rope you into more of my style posts! 😉
Do you want to be Bloom Boutique Blog's next Fashion Bloomer of the Month? Shoot me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com or click on "Let's Talk" in my menu bar to get in touch with me for a style session! Have a great rest of your week.
♥ Leah

CHARLESTON, SC (WCSC) - Clouds have broken up Monday morning across the Lowcountry and that will allow for some sunshine after a mostly cloudy weekend with cooler fall temperatures.
The lows Monday morning were below average, near 60 degrees in many backyards, but with sunshine the temperatures should quickly begin to climb up to around the lower 70' by lunchtime.
The afternoon sky should be a nice mix of clouds and sun with a few coastal showers possible and highs back near the 80-degree mark. The big weather maker the next few days is an area of low pressure over the Atlantic that we call the "coastal trough." It will make more clouds, showers and storms Monday night and drift west towards the beaches.
Overnight, look for increasing rain chances with some heavy rain possible by Tuesday morning. Lows will only reach the upper 60's.
The trough will move inland and not move much over the next few days which will keep us in a mostly cloudy, warmer and wetter pattern through the latter half of this week.

UPS damaged my art work and never even returned my repeated call. I tried with my local store, called and emailed them many times. They responded and assured that someone from UPS will get back to me but UPS never got back to me.
The box was dented at the top and my 3D-work was squashed top down. They obviously stacked heavy boxes on top in spite of 'fragile' labels all over my box. I had packed the work in a very secure manner making sure it does not shift inside. I sent multiple images of the damaged box and the work but they didn't even have the decency to return my call or email.
I am never going to use UPS again to ship anything again.
Reviewer is in unhappy mood. indG stated that there is a room for improvement of bad handling of goods. Please immediately contact the author of this review to discuss damaged or defective of ups delivery service and associated monetary loss in the amount of $1000. UPS needs to offer any options to resolve the issue according to poster's claims.
Other people also mentioned ups delivery service in their reviews. You may find this information helpful for further shopping at UPS.

Homophobia and transphobia can be defined as prejudice or discrimination against those identifying as gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered. Such behaviour is attributed directly to social intolerance towards those who are, or are perceived, not to be heterosexual.
The police use the following definition when recording a homophobic incident:
"Any incident which is perceived to be homophobic by the victim or any other person."
This refers to any incident which appears to be related to an individual's actual or perceived sexuality.
Prejudice and homophobic attitudes are still prevalent in the United Kingdom. Homophobic and transphobic crimes are largely unreported to the police.
If an incident has happened to you, or you have witnessed it happening to someone else, report it.
On the first Wednesday of every month between 6.30pm and 7.30pm and first Thursday of the month between 7.30pm and 8.30pm there will be an officer at Derbyshire LGBT+, 7 Bramble Street, Derby, DE1 1HU so you are able to report a hate crimes in person.
A number of officers have had additional training which includes awareness of gender identity, sexual orientation and issues surrounding hate crime which is targeted at the LGBT+ communities.
PC Luke Scribbins, who works as part of the Derwent Safer Neighbourhood Team, and who co-ordinated the training in partnership with Derbyshire LGBT+, said: "This additional training has been vital for officers to understand the issues facing this section of the community which we police.
Some members of this community are not confident to come forward and report issues to the police, largely because of historical issues and a perception that we will not be interested or take them seriously.
We hope to break down any barriers. We understand that it may be difficult for some people to attend a police station or talk about some issues even in a family home setting, so by holding surgeries at the LGBT+ base we hope that people may be more encouraged to come and speak to us if they are facing problems."
For more information or to make contact with PC Scribbins call 101, or send him a message online by visiting the Contact Us section of our website here. You can also visit our main Hate Crime page to find out information on how to report a hate crime..
Reporting homophobic crime means you help the police to build up patterns of crime and apprehend offenders. Any information you can give us will help us build up our knowledge.
What you know may provide us with the last piece of the jigsaw puzzle.
A name, address or a description of someone who commits a hate crime will enable us to target criminals and stop the abuse.
Left unreported people who carry out these crimes are likely to commit similar offences again and could be harming others. Your report may prevent it from happening to someone else.
We take homophobic/transphobic incidents seriously. If someone you know is a victim, or if you are a witness, then please report it.
No incident is trivial.
We understand that people experiencing homophobia may be reluctant to report a crime or incident because of concern over perceived police attitudes, the fear of retribution by offenders, or concern about their own sexuality becoming known.
All reports of homophobic/transphobic incidents will be treated in the strictest confidence.
Most of the following organisations operate across Derbyshire. There are some exceptions, but these are accompanied by an explanation.
Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender specialist support and advocacy services county wide. They offer a confidential space, hate crime surgery and act as a third party reporting centre. They also have a youth forum and run a Transgender support group called "Transcend".

"I need a helper," the scientist went on, with the air of talking to himself. "A white assistant who neither loves nor fears me. Unani Assu is good enough in his way, but I need a helper who has had technical training." Suddenly he wheeled on Hale and asked sharply, "How are your nerves, young man?"

Hale started, but managed to answer calmly. "Excellent. My war record isn't half bad, and that was surely backed with good nerves."

This morning has been nothing but an epic battle with my internet connection. . . a battle that I seem to be destined to lose. In fact, since I've started writing this post, (you know. . . 30 seconds ago) my internet has already dropped on me again.
Of course, since my internet connection is provided by my employer, I can't contact the ISP directly. . . and, you know, my employer, for whatever reason, is not too concerned about getting me up and running quickly.
I'm not exactly complaining. I mean, in the world of 4g, I still have access to the plethora of time wasting material that we call the 'net. But, well, yeah. . . I feel somewhat in limbo, getting extremely excited everytime my connection appears for the 30 seconds it does, trying to get logged back into everything so I can sort that one next e-mail before the connection drops again.. .
Anyways, you'd think that since I'm basically stuck in front of my computer waiting for my internet to return that I would have plenty to put out here. . . I don't. In fact, I'm finding myself even more busy that usual as I attempt to fill the void that is my internet-free life. . . and, you know, hastily getting little bits of work done while I'm online.
So, although I won't actually be able to publish this for a while, since I'll still have to upload a photo (during online time) and whatever else. . . I'm logging off for now. Gonna hopefully get some writing done today as well.
Speaking of which. . . The Rise of The Fat Mogul has now officially surpassed THE LEGEND OF BUDDY HERO in word count, and still has a ways to go before the epic conclusion is actually concluded. 70,000 words and counting. It's exciting. I'm excited. I'm ready to be done with this first draft and get back to focusing on getting THE AGORA FILES on some shelves.
Alright, yeah, I'm out.
Have fun!

The countdown has officially begun! With time flying as fast as it can, July 2014 is just a few steps away marking the 27th of July next year as the centennial.
With only a year left before the centennial, the countdown started in Cebu and Canada. It was one glorious weekend as the countdown started with Lingap-Pamamahayag (Kabayan ko, Kapatid ko) held in SRP last July 26.
The event gathered a big crowd which estimated to 350, 000 people. During the activity, free medical and dental services were provided and most of all, the greatest thing we can offer to our countrymen are the words of God.
On the next day, INCLife and INCinema were held at Cebu International Convention Center. There was a photo exhibit in which it depicted the history of the church through the years. An inspirational play was also staged.
Aside from the exhibit and the play, there were also different activities for the brethren and guests.
And on the 28th, INConcert took place.
The 3-day event not only strengthen the bond of the brethren but also gave inspiration to move forward and be steadfast in their faith. Truly, all the blessings and where the church is now, is the work of the powerful hands of our Lord God.
To God be the glory!

Advent Calendar & Stocking Stuffers for toddlers
I love Christmas and even though Eva is not old enough to grasp the concept yet, I'm already starting to love this time a year even more. There's just something special about Christmas and children. One of the many things that I really enjoyed about Christmas when I a little girl, was my advendt calendars. I would get one with chocolate, one in cardboard for the TV advent calendar show and one which my mom would make me with small presents that made the countdown for Christmas Eve a bit more tolerable. And oh how I always looked forward to tearing open those sparkling presents that would be hanging in the kitchen just waiting to be opened. I was almost incapable of waiting, but somehow managed year after year. It didn't really matter so much what was in the presents – it was the opening, the waiting, the thoughtfulness and the anticipation that made it so special.
I want to give Eva the same kind of Christmas wonder and excitement that i got from the advent calendar my mom made me. That's why I've decided to make her one every year starting this december.
The criteria for the advent calendar
I set up a few criterias for Evas first advent calendar.
- Minium waste. That meant recycling whatever possible or, if made from new, something that could be recycled later.
- Easy to make. I would not be able to finish the calendar this year if it was not easy to make, so this was an important criteria.
- No junk, but still inexpensive. Both me and Ben agreed that the calendar should not be too expensive, but still not be filled with sugar or fragile, chemical filled toys.
- Not too confusing. Eva's still to young to grasp the idea of a advent calendar, so too many presents out at once might be more of a recipe for a daily December melt down than a fun and joyful experience.
A super easy advendt calendar idea for toddlers
For her first advent calendar (we skipped it last year because all she wanted back then was breastmilk and there was no way I was going to try to wrap that) I was very fortunate to find a huge amount of Lego Duplos at a yard sale this summer. The cost was incredible low for the amount I got. Instead of just giving it to her, Ben and I decided to save it for Christmas. It was a mix of basic bricks, people, animals and vehicles and some baseplates and could easily be divided into 24 smaller presents, so that's exactly what I did. I however couldn't help myself and ended up builind different things with the bricks, but that's what Lego's do to you. They make you want to be creative.
Instead of having 24 presents out at once, we decided on giving her a stocking that we would put the the Lego creations into or a few of the people/animals. At first we thought of letting her find the daily present find in the morning, but quickly decided that it would be better in the afternoon, either after her nap or after we've all gotten home from work and kindergarden. That way we would not initiate play time at the busiest time of the day for us.
Instead of a more traditional advent calendar I ended up bying her a stocking that we'll be able to use for many years. I always had a advent calendar with numbered present hanging out and we might make her one when she is old enough to get the concept, but we might also stick with the stocking. We've told her that the house elf brings her the presents each day, and that story is a bit more plausible if all the presents aren't out to begin with,
We might also buy her a complete lego set when she's older (if she's still into lego) and add more and more bits each day until the model is completed on the day of Christmas. The instructions I think we would give her on the first day, so she knew what she was building. For now, she could care less about instructions, so we haven't bothered with itthis Christmas. Instead she got to tear my wonderful Lego creations apart, which she seems more than content with.
And that that's pretty much it. A super simple, not too confusing, recycled and inexpensive advent calender for a toddler. If you're more into the more traditional American way of filling a stocking during December and not opening it until the day of Christmas, I think this idea of Legos a stocking stuffers would also work wonders. I mean, which kid wouldn't be thrilled to get a stocking full of Legos?
We're about half way with this Advent calendar and it's a bigger success than I'd dared hope for. Eva knows exactly where to look when we ask her if she's checked whether the elf has brought her something and she gets so excited whenever she sees that it did! Hopefully it won't be too confusing for her when there's no more elf presents, but I think she'll accept it when we take the stocking down.
No affiliation with Lego.

Divine Carrot Velvet
I've talked in the past about the advantages of giving one's dishes appropriately flattering names. With that in mind, I present Divine Carrot Velvet Soup!
I was inspired, perhaps oddly, by this post (and the ingredients on hand in my kitchen). I started, approximately, with this recipe, but then went my own way:
6 T butter
1 large onion (or two small ones)
3 cloves of garlic
As much ginger as you can find (~1/4 cup)
~7 big carrots
1 potato
4 cups water
4 T McKay's chicken seasoning
1 can coconut milk
Splash of Plain Silk
Melt the butter and sautee the onion (chopped), garlic (smashed), and ginger (grated) at low heat for a long time. I talked on the phone while preparing first the onion and then the garlic, which slowed me considerably, and then was just generally slow at peeling and grating the ginger. That ended up being perfect--the onion was nice and soft, I didn't brown the garlic, and the ginger was still snappy.
Throw in the water and seasoning and crank the heat to high. Start peeling the carrots, chopping them into thin little rounds, and adding them to the pot. Peel the potato, cube it rather finely, and throw it in, too. Continue to cook at high heat until most of the water is gone and the carrots are falling-apart tender--about 20-25 minutes. Add the coconut milk, and blend with Awesome Immersion Blender. Thin with soy milk to desired taste and thickness.
The soup is warmly spicy, pleasantly filling, and, seriously, velvety. I've never made anything quite like it. It's fluffier and lighter than my pumpkin curry soup, and not as gritty as potato. With a pan of hot cornbread, it's also the perfect antidote to biking home from school in a snowstorm.

Right, I gave up.
Big changes are coming. I'm hung in the time-zone gap, half the Earth apart, rooting for my partner starting his new job. In not so long, I'm supposed to close the gap. Take the flight. Take the chance.
It was a series of realizations. Realizing I could perhaps do it, that there would be plenty of options there for someone like me. Then realizing I actually want to do it and was weary of the idea of staying. Realizing I want a (new) life. Realizing I don't want the two-body problem for much longer.
Realizing that if we are all so smart scientists in academia, then for Christ's sake, being the best educated most intelligent skilled gifted talented folk, why shouldn't we use it to our benefit. Doesn't it all mean we should be able to make the life what we want it to be, get the (or at least a) job anywhere we want, at the level we want, and nurture our lives with it, rather than be those academia entrapped miserable folk, who go wherever their lady commands, never free to choose the place, the time, never able to choose for life. Sacrificing hours for our passion, in the least rewarding fashion a career has ever seen.
It might be rationalizing. But it was also further realization. Realization that after next few years of post-doccing I would be entering the industry world at exactly the same position I would right now. Realizing that the PI position dream might never come true, anywhere. Realizing that where I am right now I'd have even fewer options than in the livid, booming, biotech-rich area I want to move to.
Now I'm also realizing I really like my job. I'll miss how everything finally fit here, the freedom of doing what I want, having sufficient resources, supportive boss and good colleagues. I can only hope the future will bring some nice places and people about too.
But I've always been drawn to change. And to challenge. Maybe my new job search is so compelling simply because it is a challenge. Something I haven't tested myself in quite yet.
Wherever it takes me, it's science anyways. I hope.

Lately we have been joking around that anytime after the 4th of July signals an almost immediate countdown to fall. It feels that as I've gotten older, this window of time between 4th of July and Fall has grown shorter and shorter. In high school it's the ever impending date of "back of school" (September), in college it's when I'd move back to Chicago for the year (August), then at camp it seemed that that the 4th is the "beginning" of the camping season, but then everything after that is a blur and then suddenly I'm finding myself washing clothes, transferring summer goods to storage and taking out books, dishes, sweaters…college stuff. School stuff. Meaning, that August/September deadline is just around the corner. Even now, though there is nothing to blur the lines between back to school and Fall except the weather – any cool day after the 4th seems to be Fall whispering "I'm coming soon. Don't forget".
Today in conversation with someone, the word "Fall" hadn't hung in the air less than 2 seconds and I immediately felt myself longing for it. For orange and red. For crunchy leaves. For pumpkins. For sweaters and leather boots and scarves. For change. For the "next".
Fall can be time when it seems everything starts to die…but really it's when growing underneath starts. Begins.

You Can't Manage Mother Nature, But Supply Can Lower the Cost of Oil
This past year legislature in several states, including Maryland, rushed to place severe limits on the recreational and commercial harvest of blue crabs. If you listened to the environmental left, the blue crab was heading for extinction. This year's harvest appears to be abundant, to say the least. Leftist enviro's want the federal government to destroy dams providing cheap hydroelectric power to industry in our Pacific and Mountain states in order to protect salmon and other species.
With the price of gas over $4.00 per gallon and diesel over $5.00 in some parts of the country these same people refuse to accept the fact that opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and the outer continental shelf to oil exploration and drilling could have an immense effect on the price of oil. They claim that it will be a "drop in the bucket" and won't affect prices.
While it is true that it would take several years to get rigs online, new supply will affect price. It's as true today as it was in 1776 when Adam Smith published The Wealth of Nations or the thousands of years prior when people knew that the market worked, they just didn't have a book explaining how.
When will the left learn a few basic concepts? Markets work. They always have and they always will. Despite innumerable unsuccessful attempts, we can't manage God's creation.

BBC News)
More than two thirds of thefts are 'never solved'
Daniel Wainwright & Paul Bradshaw
BBC News
- 18 July 2017
- From the sect
More than two thirds of police investigations into thefts and burglaries have been closed with no suspect ever being identified.
The BBC analysed some 18 million crimes over a five-year period across 43 police forces in England and Wales.
Charity Victim Support said victims should be able to review police decisions not to investigate crimes.
Police say they follow up all evidence but had "limited resources" and had to prioritise.
BBC England's data unit compiled the figures between 2012 and 2016 from the official police data website, which goes into greater detail than the published crime statistics. The investigation focussed on crime cases that were closed because no suspect had been identified.
It found:
- Some 75% of all bicycle thefts and more than two thirds of burglaries, vehicle crime and other types of theft saw their investigations closed with no suspect identified.
- It was the same for about two thirds of criminal damage and arson and more than 60% of robberies.
- Drug crimes, sexual offences and violent crimes had a lower rate.
One force has resubmitted its data after analysis showed it had some of the highest rates of unsolved crimes. Surrey Police stressed its figures were in line with the national average.
Victim Support spokeswoman Rachel Almeida said: "It is imperative the police explore every avenue when investigating a crime.
"It is also vital that decisions made by the police about investigations, and the reasoning behind their decisions, are clearly and fully communicated with victims so they do not feel they have been left in the dark."

Here we go again. The threats have begun. If they don't get their way, they will shutdown the government.
For the umpteenth time, I am over it.
First, this is personal for me. I am the spouse of a government employee. My husband is an Air Traffic Controller which means that he is an essential employee. If the government shuts down, he still has to work ... without pay ... until the deal is done and things are running again. He does get paid eventually. It is oh so lovely to receive a paycheck so extremely large from the back pay that it throws you into a tax bracket that you can only dream about.
Second, the reasons for this are appalling.
28 Republican men threaten government shutdown over Planned Parenthood
"We must act to fully defund Planned Parenthood," the letter says. "Please know tha twe cannot and will not support any funding resolution - an appropriations bill, an omnibus package, a continuing resolution, or otherwise - that contains any funding for Planned Parenthood, including mandatory funding streams."
Ted Cruz is beating the drum on the senate side
"Cruz said his escalating crusade against Planned Parenthood was inspired by a recent series of undercover videos showing the family planning provider engaged in the donation of fetal tissue for medical research after abortions. He said the videos "show the face of evil," because they feature doctors discussing reimbursement costs for fetal tissue donations at lunch over salad and wine ...
But Republicans have been talking about defunding Planned Parenthood since long before the videos were released. Cruz told pastors their congregations could make an "enormous difference" by calling their members of Congress and holding them to their campaign promises.
"We have a moment where we can stand together and act, and all we need is for our elected leaders to actually do what they said they would do," Cruz said. "They campaigned promising to defend the right to life. Now is the moment where we distinguish word from action."
It is all escalating again because of these heavily edited videos supposedly catching Planned Parenthood selling fetal tissue to research centers for profit. The congress investigation found no evidence of this.
"Over the last month, we have carefully reviewed the facts at hand and the materials provided to us as a result of the majority's inquiry," said Energy and Commerce Committee Ranking Member Frank Pallone Jr. (D-N.J.) and Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee Ranking Member Diana DeGette (D-Co.) in a statement.
"Despite the incendiary rhetoric, we have looked strictly at the facts. We are continuing to do our due diligence, but we have found these claims to be unsubstantiated," the statement read.
Despite the fact that fetal tissue donation is legal and the clinic is allowed to negotiate terms of handling and transport cost and
despite the fact that no federal funding can be used by Planned Parenthood to pay for abortions and
despite the fact that Planned Parenthood provides many health services to low income women and provides birth control which would prevent abortions and isn't that a good thing,
the complete defundng of Planned Parenthood is being demanded.
they will shut down the government. again.
Which brings me to my third "oh hell no"
This constant threat of do this or else? Let's be clear. It's bullying. It's abuse. The threat sounds so distant from personal lives but it affects real people. Defunding Planned Parenthood not only affect real people but affects poor women the most.
We receive this threat over and over and over. Even when it doesn't happen, we, the people, absorb the mental and emotional impact. It's abuse. Stop it. Stop playing games with lives. Stop holding the American people hostage. If another country or foreign group held Americans hostage, it would be considered a violent and terrorist act.
Stop the threats. Stop the abuse. Stop the terror.
