I've read bits of The Tao of Poker before, but I liked what he revealed today about his writing life. (Monday, October 18, 2004)
"I'm missing out on a $100 buy in NL tournament at the Blue Parrot tonight hosted by Signor Ferrari. I can't miss the Yankees game, man. I'm willing to sacrifice poker and a shot at a $500 pay day for a Yankees-Red Sox game. Priorities. My online poker playing and blogging time had been cut down this past week. And they'll slow down to a moderate trickle when I go out of town for the week… heading up to Boston, Connecticut, and to Rhode Island. I recently upped my mimimum personal writing time from two hours a day to four. That's a daily discipline I've tried my best to hold myself to for almost two years. I used to have a "write five pages a day" rule but I like the two hours… er, four hour workouts better. I also added two hours of reading time… novels mostly… to my daily routine. It feels good that I cut down on the internet time and TV time and reading endless articles about the upcoming election and dare I say reading my favorite poker blogs and Alexa's blog (my favorite blog from a NYC escort). Alas, I lost 1/6 of my day in order to prepare for a major writing project I'm undertaking next month."
I'm assuming that his poker playing affords him the time to write. Unless he has some serious freelance projects on the side. I might have to introduce myself to this guy. And don't take that the wrong way. He's into the Hilton sisters.
What's the story behind that nasty picture? Nice attitude. Hey, back on track, Pauley says he's written four novels and two screenplays. And checking out his other sites, I'm wondering if I've just already surfed them, or if someone introduced me to him a while back because of his Truckin' zine.
My question is, do you count blogging time as writing time?

A senior U.S official Brett McGurk issued a statement on Thursday that the U.S armed forces and its international allies are fighting against the ISIS (Islamic State) and they have achieved a significant amount of targets in recent days, especially the liberation of Mosul. They are now planning for rehabilitation and reconstruction in the destructed areas after the termination of extremist groups in Iraq and Syria. The U.S special envoy to the coalition against the Islamic State militants, Brett McGurk said on Thursday that fighting will continue in some areas around the Syrian city of Raqqa and other IS active forces areas. He further added that the ISIS and Daesh organization are irretrievable and they are being defeated by strong U.S allies. The U.S armed forces and its partners from 72 anti-coalition countries are moving forward with perfect planning and coordination. McGurk and other senior U.S officials participated in 3-days coalition meetings said that the fight in Iraq and Syria will not be affected by the current diplomatic crisis.
Point to be noted that the current diplomatic crisis rose in the Arab region since early June 2017, when Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain cut their diplomatic and commercial relations with Qatar. Saudi Arabia and other 3 countries alleged Qatar for funding extremism. The authorities in these countries demanded from Qatar to downgrade its relations with Iran. Qatar has been considered the major opponent of Saudi Arabia in the Middle East. Qatar has rejected their demands and denied their allegations for supporting and financing terrorism in any way. It is important that all these Arab states including Qatar are members of international coalition against the Daesh organization and Islamic State group. McGurk further indicated that the split between Saudi Arabia and Qatar will not reflect any impact on professional military relationships in the anti-terrorism campaign against ISIS.

Distribution Roundup: Sheetz, Target and Babies R Us All Add NOSH Brands to Shelves
As the summer picks up, several natural, organic, sustainable and healthy brands have been picked up by major retailers to round out their sets and appeal to consumers seeking cleaner options.
Hak's Storms the Salad Dressing Set
After successfully launching a line of barbecue sauces and crockpot cooking sauces, Los Angeles based condiment company Hak's has turned its attention to salad dressing. With a unique pouch filled with six smaller packets, the new product tries to offer fast-moving, health-conscious consumers natural, single-serve options for their salads.
The line of dressings has recently launched nationwide with both Target and Ralph's, as well as direct to consumer on the brand's website. The line features eight varieties (balsamic, country italian, honey dijon, greek, miso, olive oil & lemon, sesame ginger and spicy thai) all of which come in at under 100 calories each.
Among Friends First Muffin Mix Signs Exclusive Agreement
Among Friends has launched a new addition to the company's line of hand-crafted, whole grain, gluten-free baking mixes — Francie's Make it Your Own Muffin Mix. The mix is the brand's first muffin mix and suggests the baker customize the final muffin with different additions like nuts, fruit or chocolate.
The muffin mix is launching as an exclusive in Target and will be sold in 1,500 stores. The pickup comes as Target continues to build out its natural food offerings from smaller producers.
No Bake Cookie Company Comes to Sheetz
No Bake, an Oregon-based cookie company, is expanding on the 2500 retailers nationwide that carry its line by adding 525 East Coast Sheetz convenience stores. The company, which produces a traditional, "no-bake" cookie made from
nut butters, oats and butter, offers a modern, clean-label version of a nostalgic favorite. Joining Sheetz's portfolio is especially unique for the brand as the company founder, Carol Healy, started selling the cookies from her own, family-owned convenience store.
The brand also recently was added to shelves at Costcos in the Northwest region in an exclusive, 24 oz. package.
Babies R Us Nurtures Sprout Organic Foods' Growth
In March, Sprout Organic Foods added 15 new products to its line of organic baby foods, including an innovative quinoa-based "puff" that is available in Apple Kale Quinoa, Mango Carrot Quinoa and Maple Cinnamon Quinoa. The line was accepted nationwide into Babies R Us. The retail pickup comes as the brand also is undertaking a packaging redesign to for easier flavor identification and to better highlight certain attributes, such as being non-GMO.

"Girls" is a sensational tribute to a generation of young women that never really fit into the Sex and City landscape and can't relate to women who meet rich business men at gallery openings. Instead, we relate to the beginners of adulthood. We are the waitress, the hostess,the barista, the one cleaning up vomit in a bar bathroom.. We are on the sidelines. Quietly dreaming of a world where our ambitions are a reality that we just haven't attained...yet. We are girls. Not really ready to call ourselves grown ups but fully aware that we are adults, just trying to make sense of it all and it's a mess. This little gem of a show captures the true nature of girls, with all our sexual awkwardness and questionable career decisions, it grabs our reality by the reigns and never lets go; Steering us headstrong into the future and maybe eventually into full fledged adulthood and I can't get off. I'm in for the entire ride. Girls is awesome.
Best show ever
Best show ever
No longer interesting.
I'm convinced that the only person that doesn't realize that Hannah (as well as Lena in real life) has become an annoying, unpleasant bore, spoiled by all the attention, is Hannah/Lena. The show is nothing more than a vehicle where she can show off her unhealthy, sloppy figure in ways that no longer have anything to do with the storyline, which I'm sure in her self-important way thinks she's making some kind of statement, and the only reason I still watch is for Adam Driver, Allison Williams, and Zosia Mamet. The unlikeable Jemimah and the other uninteresting people that Lena forces into the show to give her personal friends work has ruined what was (in season one) an interesting new show with interesting new people. This show has gone from fantastic to terrible in 2.5 seasons.

1990 Mazda MX-5 Miata RoadsterReview
Fabulous Fun Canyon Car.great Fun With The Top Down.dependability Is Great — While 116 hp isn't alot, driver participation overcomes the lack of raw power...(you have to SHIFT it!) This is a driver's car so you have to play your part.This little thing corners as if it is on rails. Mine gets right at 33 mpg while going 80 mph on the freeway. But living in Sequoia/King's Canyon area of California, our local roads are what this car was designed for.
Pros: Great Fun to drive, Very thrifty on gas, Easy to work on.Parts are plentiful and cheap. Good looking little car. Roadsters are cool!!
Cons: zero

1990 Mazda MX-5 Miata RoadsterReview
Great Little Roadster, Short On Power To Be A True Sports Car. — The early Miatas truly embodied the "jinba ittai" design philosophy that the engineers had in mind. It melds horse and rider as one. It also has the styling of a Lotus Elan and the light tossability of an MGB with the reliability of a Civic. As the Miata progressed through the years it became less roadster and more sports car, and this first Miata wasn't much of a speed demon. It's a roadster at heart, and it performs that function admirably. 116 hp demands driver involvement to keep forward motion at an entertaining level. Fortunately the ultralight curb weight of around 2200 pounds helps get the most from the 1.6 liter inline four. Handling is very solid, weight balance is 50/50, and the brakes are perfectly sufficient with fade only in the most extreme situations. The joy to drive factor is about as high as it gets.
Pros: Great handling, involving driving experience, good reliability, great gas mileage.
Cons: Paint is thin and can be expected to need a repaint after about 10 to 12 years, power is merely adequate, early models ('90-'93) had very little chassis bracing and flex quite a bit.

1990 Mazda MX-5 Miata RoadsterReview
Awesome — That's a hell of a car. Although it's HP number is low, it feels quite fast because of the Close-ratio transmission. But when it comes to cornering, nothing beats it. Or almost nothing. The chassis is really stiff, in fact, the whole car is stiff despite the fact that it's a convertible. On this perticular car, the stock suspension was replaced by KYB AGX adjustable shock and Flyin' Miata spings. Some small frame reinforcement was added with a rear rollbar. The engine was replaced by a BP-4W from a totaled '99 Miata. The brakes are up-sized '97 stock brakes. The power steering was removed along with the A/C. Other than that, the car is bone stock and it feels like a race car! Awesome!
Pros: Feels Quick, stiff car, apex lover, small, convertible (Awesome in the summer :D), cute AND beautiful looking
Cons: Slow in reality, no space, not highway friendly (4000rpm @ 120kph)

The Most Fun Driving A Car I've Ever Had — My buddy (co-driver) and I effectively re-built this car by the time it was all said and done. He bought it for a steal and we went to work on it prepping it for CSP class in Autocross. What a blast! I won 2nd Place for CSP in the Atlanta Region two years in a row, '05 and '06.
Pros: Handled like it was on rails, VERY peppy
Cons: Can't really think of any

Karting For The Streets — 116bhp from a 1.6 + weighs nothing + grips like crazy + Mazda build quality = Best deal in the world In 174000 kilometers (appx 110000 miles), the only repair I had was a change of battery. I did chew a lot of tyres though ;-)
Pros: Fun fun fun fun
Cons: Ehhh ... none, honestly.

Two years of control stood as the talking point for Hahn on Monday, with the 2020 season standing as the unofficial planned time for White Sox prime contention. That period gives their high-end prospects plenty of time to develop.
Hahn's biggest decisions for this offseason fall upon first baseman Jose Abreu and right fielder Avisail Garcia, which he spoke about Monday. The team has to decide whether to extend the duo, its top run producers from this past season, to make them a firm part of its rebuild, or try to add to their young pool of talent by moving one or both. Both Abreu and Garcia have two more years of club control.
Abreu, who turns 31 right before Spring Training, has registered at least a .290 batting average, 25 home runs and 100 RBIs in each of his first four Major League seasons. Garcia, 26, made his first All-Star appearance in 2017 and registered career highs in doubles (27), home runs (18), RBIs (80), batting average (.330) and OPS (.885).
But for all the rightful attention the White Sox received last offseason, two players were moved in All-Star pitcher Chris Sale and outfielder Adam Eaton. More trades took place during the season, showing patience is essential during the White Sox rebuild.
"We had a bunch of guys who would end up getting moved over the course of last season who had the right deal come along last December or January, we might have jumped on it," Hahn said. "It didn't materialize.
"It's the same case with any player right now that is controlled for the next two years. We don't have to make that decision this offseason. See what the market is now, see more about the performance, see how some of the players in our system perform and conceivably revisit the market come next July, which is a different market as we saw last year."

My children visit the dentist every six months. They don't mind at all having their teeth examined. In fact, they all look forward to their check-ups: sitting in the huge dentist's chair, wearing the dark glasses, trying to chat with the dentist while his fingers are stuffed in their mouths. It is all rather interesting.
It was a totally different story when I was a young child. As soon as my mother had made the appointment I would start worrying, and by the time I actually arrived at the dentist's, my heart would be thumping violently and I'd feel clammy and sick. After a few unfortunate appointments with less than sympathetic dentists I decided, that when I had the choice, I would never ever again voluntarily open my mouth for an examination.
In this way I solved an enormous problem: I didn't have to worry about the pain or more significantly, the humiliating comments I might receive while in the dentist's chair. However, this way with dealing with my fear gave me a new problem: I began to worry about the state of my teeth. Was my front tooth a bit loose? Did that pain mean my tooth was decaying? Did my wisdom teeth ever appear? Was there a chance that I'd be lucky and not need them removed? Yes, my teeth were quite often the cause of anxiety. I certainly said a lot of prayers, asking for St Appolonia's intercession, in the hope my teeth would stay in good condition and never need the attention of a dentist.
One day while the children were having their usual check-ups, the dental assistant remarked, "We've never examined your teeth." Not meeting her eyes, and trying to talk without opening my mouth too far so she couldn't see much of my teeth, I muttered, "I don't have check-ups. I had some bad experiences with dentists as a child and I'm too frightened to sit in the chair."
The dental assistant was most sympathetic and assured me that this dentist was a real pussy cat and very, very gentle. Of course, he would understand my fears. I digested all this but still didn't make an appointment.
A few months later, I was forced to acknowledge that there was a rather uncomfortable feeling in my lower jaw. I cautiously opened my mouth in front of the mirror and leapt back with fear. Wow! All my teeth looked like they were decayed. Should I conquer my fear and make that appointment? I debated with myself for a couple more weeks. Then I decided to look at the situation logically. What was the worst that could happen? Maybe all my teeth would have to be removed. Would that kill me? Of course not. All my grandparents had survived quite happily without teeth of their own. And anyway, even if that course of action were needed, no one could yank out all my teeth without permission. I could simply walk out of the dental surgery if I wanted.
But what if I decided to follow the dentist's advice? What about the pain? I imagined the long, sharp needle burying its way into my tender gum and enormous steel pliers gripping and twisting and yanking. After gulping a few times, I resolutely pushed these images of horror far from my mind and decided that the dentist could inflict no pain greater than that of childbirth. And I had survived that eight times. That convinced me. Women are brave. We are strong and there is nothing we cannot endure. A simple dental examination should be a piece of cake.
So appointment made, I turned up on the correct day pleased that I was still resolved to go through with it. I'd warned the receptionist: "My teeth are in an awful state. They'll need lots of work but I'll only be able to have a little bit done at a time due to the expense."
"That's fine," she soothed as she ushered me through the surgery door.
I climbed up onto the huge chair, hid myself behind the dark glasses and clasped my shaking hands tightly together on my chest.
"I haven't been to the dentist for years. I've been too afraid. My childhood experience was horrific. You'll find lots wrong," I babbled all in one breath. There! I'd prepared the dentist for whatever horrors he'd find.
Mirrors and scrapers and fingers were stuffed into my mouth and I closed my eyes and tried to pretend I was elsewhere.
After a few minutes: "How long ago did you say your last examination was?"
Was the news bad? "Over 20 years." (nearer 25)
"Well, your teeth are looking pretty good. You've looked after them well." Pretty good? What about all that decay? It wasn't decay? Just old silver fillings?
"There's a couple of small cavities in your upper wisdom teeth that will need filling. I'll be very gentle. I'll take it slowly and explain every step of the procedure." I opened my eyes and saw the prepared needle heading towards my mouth. I thought about fainting but decided I wouldn't live that one down if my children ever got to hear about it. So instead I reminded myself that I was a brave woman. A few minutes passed before I realised that I was surviving. I was in a dentist chair having treatment and I was quite OK.
Twenty minutes later, my teeth were perfect and all they needed was a de-scale and polish. Just as I was about to hop off the chair I suddenly thought about that pain in my lower jaw, the one that had prompted my appointment in the first place. Should I mention it or count myself lucky and escape while I could? No, I had to ask. "Oh you have just been a bit too enthusiastic with the dental floss. You've irritated the gums between your teeth." I'd plucked up all that courage to come to the dentist because of a pain associated with a sore gum? But I didn't care. It was all over. I was on my way back out to reception.
The receptionist glanced at my anxiously as I approached her desk to pay my bill. "Are you OK?"
"Oh yes, fine," I grinned at her. "Dr A was a real pussy cat just as you said."
"When can you come for your next appointment?"
"I don't need to come back. Dr A did everything today. Just two tiny fillings."
I floated home feeling absolutely wonderful. "Only two tiny fillings," I announced to my children who'd been rather bemused by my fear of dentists. "Do you want to see my beautiful teeth?"
So I conquered a fear, a fear that had been bothering me for many, many years. I can look in the mirror without avoiding my open mouth. I can smile while talking to the dentist as he examines my children's teeth. Really there was nothing to worry about: my teeth were in reasonable shape, the dentist didn't accuse me of neglecting my teeth, he didn't make me feel helpless and frightened, and the pain was negligible. Dentistry and dentists have come a long way since my childhood.
Our own childhood experiences often influence what we want for our own children. I certainly didn't want mine to experience my fear of dentists. It seems I have been successful in that area. I have also been successful in another way. I have proved that it is never too late to conquer a fear.
Now I am going through the list of my other fears. What shall I tackle next? Driving alone through the centre of Sydney? Exposing my tuneless voice to the instruction of a singing teacher? Perhaps I should put on my swimmers, brave the water and take diving lessons? One thing is definite: we all have hidden resources. We are stronger than we think. We just need to make the first step.

Seriously, I have some of the sweetest friends! Thanks everyone who called me yesterday to see how the 'big' photography day went. It went really well, and the pictures have already been chosen for the magazine! However, I did have a camera malfunction and all of a sudden my camera decided that it didnt want to work - so I had to use the company one, good thing I brought it along and good thing it held the same battery as my camera cause it was dead! HAHA - But, it was all worth it...and I even found a pair or cute slacks to wear...SUCCESS!
However, last night was even better.
Casey and I went to the Temple with my parents, we hadnt done an actual endowment session in about 5 months. I love getting dressed in white, even though I had to rent a parachute dress cause mine currently doesnt fit, I still felt beautiful. Honestly, I dont think there is anything in the world that makes me feel as wonderful as the Celestial Room does standing there in white with my eternal companion. I love him so!
When we got home, I had a REAL letter in the mailbox, ya know - it wasnt a bill, a magazine or a postcard. A hand written letter.
It was from a missionary. I haven't got a letter from a missionary in a little over 3 1/2 years now. In fact, this month marks the 4th year Ive been home from my own mission.
A letter from a missionary is unmistakable. The 4 lines in the left hand corner with your name written oh so perfectly. It was from a sister missionary. A sister I tought on my own mission. She is now teaching the same message that changed her life 5 years ago. It was 3 pages long and I cried as I read it - she reminded me of the times we took her along to 'help' us teach that sacred message. TMI - I read it in the bathroom and the spirit couldnt have been stronger. I am so happy for her. Sometimes, I really miss being a missionary. I cant wait to be one again some day, and have the same companion for the entire time.
Then, I harldy get on facebook. But I did. I had a message...just from me. It was from Sister Chris informing me that she needed my phone number - because her sweet husband, was finally getting baptized. I served in Lubbock Texas. My mission covered all of west Texas from the border of Mexico, to the top of the pan-handle and then all of east New Mexico. We had TONS of areas...and three times I ended up in the city of Lubbock. I know why. And one of the reasones was for this family. A married mother of 3 and she was the only member in her family. They reminded me of my own little family. He wasnt ready when I was there. But we connected in a way that I cant describe. Here it is 4 years later - and he is getting baptized. I couldnt be more excited for his family.
So cheers to yesterday! For lifting my spirits, for filling my cup, for having my honey and my little 'fluttery' baby and two of the other most important people in my life in the celestial room with me. I couldn't have asked for a better day.

Guess where I will be tomorrow morning?
I love taking pictures. I love watching families together and I dream of our little baby and capturing the special moments in his life...However, I do it just for fun and to make a couple extra bucks here in there.
But, I was invited to have lunch with the executives of our company and Governor Levitt tomorrow. I have been asked to take pictures that will be published in Profiler magazine. I'm pretty excited about it. So please wish me luck.
I have not bought a new thing to wear in the past 5 months. I tried on a pair of my slacks last week. They were a little TOO tight on my bum for a professional appearance...I need to go shoppping TODAY!

Last week?
Last week? Well, the most exciting thing is that I can actually feel the little butterfly movements of our baby in my tummy…they are SO comforting! They help me realize that 1 – My baby is still doing good and 2 – That those feelings are actually our baby moving and not gas bubbles (I've been mistaking them for those for 2 weeks now!)
I mostly feel them sitting at my desk at work or late at night laying in bed with Casey watching a movie. I grab Casey's hand and put it where he is moving, but he still can't feel them…I can't wait till he can and he can't either.
My mom got us our crib and changing table…I am so excited.
My sister-n-law Stacy gave us her Pottery Barn rocking chair… I am so excited.
I just need to get it recovered or a new slip cover – anyone know someone who knows how to do this for a reasonable price? I would love their number!
On a downer note, finding cute boy bedding, is not an easy task. They all have fire trucks or animals or something 'gay' on them…my husband is a very manly man and anything somewhat fruity will not be allowed. I decided that I was going to make my own crib skirt and bumper…I've already been to all of the shops around town with no success in fabric choices, Ill find 1 fabric I like and the rest of the line is SUPER feminine…nice. Ill keep looking. But seriously, I think I need to be hired to design cute boy stuff!

Valentine surpise #1 - Boy or Girl?
Casey was positive the baby was a boy, I was pretty certain it was a girl, but kept going back and forth. How fun it would be to buy big bows and boots and leggings. But deep down inside after all the cutesiness pushed aside I thought it was boy.
However, at my 12 week appt, Baby V only had 8 fingers and little stub legs, so I really didn't care if Baby V decided on being a boy or a girl, I was the typical mother-to-be and wanted to make sure the baby had the rest of her/his fingers and that the little stub legs stuck out a little more than last time.
Casey and I anxiously sat in the room waiting for the Dr to come in…he walked in with the 'Doppler' and asked, "Did you just want to hear the heartbeat or did you want to do an ultrasound?" shocked, I answered "I am hoping you can tell me the sex of our baby today" – he started laughing and said "I knew that's what you'd say!"
We went to the 'high tech' machine and it was fascinating. Baby V was asleep with her/his hands stretched up above his head, SO CUTE! There they were, 10 little fingers! I must mention that Baby V was also being very shy…legs crossed and then tucked under and wouldn't wake up. Dr. Barton thought he saw a quick peek of an 'extra part' and then quickly said, "however, that may have been the umbilical cord" – That didn't do us any good! After about 15 minutes of nudging Baby V around we checked the heartbeat and called it good. We knew we had a healthy baby growing rapidly and that's all that mattered. Until…we got in the car….
We talked about it for a minute and then decided that there was NO WAY that we were going to wait another 4 weeks to know if Baby V was a boy or girl – so we took a pit stop at Fetal Fotos…they were booked, except for RIGHT THEN, so we didn't have time to call family to come join us or anything. I am pretty sad about that – I would have loved for my mom to be there with me. Anyway, in we went.
Baby V was still sleeping but this "OBGYN from Europe" promised me that I would walk out knowing what the sex was. He wanted to tell us first thing, but he was having trouble waking the baby up so he did some measuring first…but Ill come back to that.
The 'Dr.' started pushing the little ultrasound thingy up and down on my tummy, it made the baby look like she/he was on a raft in the ocean, still no budge. Then he took his finger and very aggressively started pushing up and down on my tummy, it kind of took me by surprise….but the funniest thing happened – Baby V pulled all her/his arms and legs really tightly in and leaned back like he was on a lounger, then with all the might baby had, started kicking both legs against where the tech was poking him…it was hilarious! I laugh every time I think about it.
And then there it was…
The tech didnt even have to say it out loud, both Casey and I knew EXACTLY what that was! Casey right then said "That's my boy!!!" He is very proud.
I love this picture because it is the EXACT same position he was in with my 12 week ultrasound with his hands up on his face.
Can you see his cute little foot?
Here we are measuring the baby. A 'typical' 16 week old baby measure between 4.5 and 5 inches...Baby V...was measuring 7 inches! And, I know I dont change my due date based solely alone on what 'Fetal Fotos' says – but this guy told us he is measuring at least a week bigger and put the estimated delivery date to July 17th – my birthday.
I love this one! -
So there you have it...we are having a little boy!!! I was a little shocked at first, even expecting a little boy. But once I was actually told thats what he was, I got a little scared. But after we got home and I started daydreaming about this little one - The excitment settled in and I am so excited to bring him home with us!

TMI? You betch-ya. A girls only post (-:
My very best friend growing up (no, I am not referring to Casey thank you) and I have been spending a lot more time lately than we have in quite a while. Its nice to get 'reacquainted' and hear stories that the two of us may have missed out on in each other's lives the past few years and even reminiscing things we did together…Her name? Well, for now it is going to remain disclosed until I seek her approval.
Last night, we went to Chipotle for dinner. We told the hubbies that we were going out to do a little Valentine's Day shopping…Well at least that is what I told Casey. He knew exactly what that meant – VICTORIAS SECRET – as soon as I told him he said, "You better come back with something!!!". My friend, told her husband that we were going "V-Day shopping" his first response was, "What is that? Like Vagina shopping?" --- FREAKING hilarious!!! I giggle every time I replay that conversation in my head.
Now girls, I must tell you – that if you are planning on surprising your husbands with a little somethin somethin, you better go shopping now, things are starting to get picked over. Just a little FYI. You are welcome.
Anyway, we first hit up Dillards. She bought some cute new shoes to go with a new darling dress she received for her birthday, I was jealous. Everyone keeps telling me, that my feet are going to grow. So I am trying to resist.
Then we were off, you know – to that place that is SOOOO dang good at making anyone feel better about their bodies. Well at least I think so and no, I wasn't exaggerating. Minus the jumbo size half naked gorgeous models all over the walls that make you think – what if my legs looked like that? Oh wait, they're all air-brushed anyway, so I don't mind at all.
We picked out a few 'sexies' if you will – we couldn't help but laugh at a few of the panites that matched. I found this DARLING hot pink one off set with this orangey-pink color. It was different and I loved it. I tired that one on last. Now don't think I am a freak…I actually have a 'wish-list' to the beloved "VS" store, when I found one that was on that beloved list in pink I was all too excited. Of course I grabbed it. I tried this one on first. I couldn't help but notice, looking at myself in the full size mirror with the HOT PINK neon letters lining the top of it stating "STRIP" (PS – I totally want one of those in my closet). That my body, already doesn't look like it use to. My wish list item, remember, the first one I tried on – didn't look like it did 4 months ago, you see…it pulled right under my belly button and in return was too loose on the sides – it was one of those monokini (not sure how to spell that) style waist ones. The best thing about it looking different (and when I say different, I mean not nearly as sexy as it once did) – Is that I loved that it didn't. I totally checked myself out in the mirror.
I examined every inch in fact, if you want me to be honest. I first noticed my waist. I already knew I was getting bigger, I mean how can you not when your buttons on your skinny jeans are about to pop? I have these new found love handle type things that sit just to the left and right of my little 4 month baby bump. My thighs, they aren't toned anymore at all and I have even been riding the bike, and they have a perfect porcelain color (as in, not a smidgen of tan or even fake tanner at all). At the front of my armpits, I have a roll – on each one of them. You know what I am talking about right? You put on your bra, the one that gives you a little lift and all of a sudden, BAM a roll by your armpit, the part that connects with your boobage. My bum cheeks are bigger but actually look a little perky. My face cheeks are a little chubby and I have this weird uneven skin tone thing going on with them. And last but not least, my boobs are already a full cup size bigger. Why am I telling you EVERY ONE of my newly discovered 'flaws' as some of you may be thinking in your head…well, it's because I don't think they are flaws at all. I am PROUD of every new pound and roll that I have put on in the last 4 months. The most amazing little miracle is happening inside of me and I can't be more ecstatic about this baby joining mine and Casey's family. The scale is going to keep getting higher and I swear that I am going to weigh as much as my six foot husband does come July – but last night, I have come to terms that I am completely okay with that. I am okay that every inch that I have always been proud to call mine on my body is changing (meaning getting bigger) and I even am liking parts more that I didn't like 4 months ago.
I took off the first 'wish list' item and chose not to get that one. I didn't like how it sagged on my hips.
I tried a black lacy one on next. I got a large. It fit perfect everywhere but where my boobs were to be perfectly placed, were like a -A cup size that wouldn't fit anyone. They need to fix that.
Lastly, I tried on the DARLING one. And loved EVERYTHING about it. SOLD! It extenuated my baby bump and I felt completely and utterly beautiful in it. The only problem…the price tag read $78.
Casey came up behind me on Sunday as I was standing in front of the mirror getting ready, he carefully wrapped his arms around me and placed his hands tenderly on my stomach. He kissed my cheek and said, "I have been dreaming about you being pregnant since my mission". He too, loves that my body is changing and I love him even more for that.
So to all you mothers out there and soon to be mothers...many of you are much to harsh on your beautiful bodies and I think - you should be proud of what you "NOW" look like. Your husbands, probably dont even notice your flaws and in fact, he probably thinks they are sexy until you start bashing and complaining about it. So dont do it and be confident!!!

Review of Inventory Management Practices
This product is designed to offer Logihedron clients the ability to carry an optimum level of inventory investment based on the Consumption, Lead Times and Storeroom space.
It is primarily designed for the management of stores inventories. The analysis can also identify if there is need for the re-configuration of the storeroom to maximize efficiencies in the picking and put-away of inventory.
WHAT is involved in a Review of Inventory Management Practices?
- Logihedron would request a data extract from the clients ERP system
- Logihedron would insert data into their proprietary software for analysis

CHAMBER MUSIC lovers can look forward to next Saturday at the Chappaqua Library Theater, when the renamed and reorganized Chappaqua Chamber Orchestra performs a revival program.
"Friends of chamber music can mark a joyous event on their calendars," said Mary Rohde, publicity chairwoman of the group. "Both players and former subscribers have been eager for this community orchestra to resume its excellent concerts."
Robert Brown, a trustee of the ensemble and a cellist in the larger orchestra for 27 years, added: "We're coming back because of an unexpected but very welcome ground swell from the community. We hope that with an orchestra scaled back to chamber music dimensions, a pleasant hall to play in and an excellent young conductor in James Sadewhite, we can make fine music again and still hold our budget in line."
The move returns the ensemble to its roots as a chamber orchestra, which is how it presented its first concert in February 1959, and as a community group. (Almost everyone involved is a local resident.) The concertmaster, Mary Ann Meade, is from Mahopac; Mark Kusnir, principal of the second violins, is a Stony Pointer. The new maestro is an Irvington resident, and so on. Even the guest soloist at the opening concert, the prize-winning young Taiwanese pianist Hui-Mei Lin, now lives in Pleasantville.
As for this first program -- which begins at 8 P.M. -- it hews to the classically tried and true: Handel's "Entrance of the Queen of Sheba" and two works by Mozart -- the "Prague" Symphony and the Piano Concerto in B flat, K. 450. For reservations, call 273-1633 or 238-8138.Continue reading the main story
A good reason to return to Pleasantville next Sunday at 3 P.M. is that town's Chamber Music Society, which despite the poor economic climate for the arts, is maintaining its free-admissions policy while continuing to present top-notch ensembles.
The society can also congratulate itself on its talent-discovering, having arranged an appearance three years ago for the fledgling Eroica Trio. Since then, the ensemble has sprung to national prominence, making its New York debut in the eminent Chamber Series at the 92d Street Y, touring successfully from coast to coast and -- as winners of the 1991 Naumburg Competition, perhaps the most prestigious chamber music award in the country -- performing next month at Alice Tully Hall.
For its return to the Pleasantville Presbyterian Church, the Eroica Trio have chosen a fascinating program, with trios of Lalo (a rarity to begin with) and Brahms enclosing the first Westchester hearing of "Angel Chant," composed last year by Augusta Read Thomas. For more information, call 769-1827.
Downtown Music at Grace, the innovative series at Grace Episcopal Church in White Plains, has developed into one of the county's prime outlets for organ music -- both solo and in various instrumental and vocal combinations. The 1992 cycle gets under way Wednesday at 12:30 P.M. with a recital by Stephen Rapp, organist and choirmaster at Christ's Church in Rye. The all-Bach program includes a revision of a Vivaldi concerto, a Sarabande with Partita, two choral preludes and the G minor Prelude and Fugue. Details: 949-2874.
If jazz is more your beat, head across the Hudson to the Rockland Center for the Arts in West Nyack, where Saturday at 8 P.M. the vibraphone-guitar duo of Dave Samuel and Joe Beck will play original tunes along with such American classics as "Body and Soul" and several pieces from the jazz song book of Quincy Jones. For more information, call 358-0877.
The first major vocal concert of 1992 is coming up next Sunday at 3 P.M. in Ossining High School when the Choral Arts Society gathers to perform "King David." The music director, Timothy Vernon, has proclaimed this "the year of the dramatic choral work." Certainly the designation fits Arthur Honegger's brilliantly evocative setting of the biblical story.
The entrance of the Witch of Endor is probably the most riveting moment in the cantata, but the spoken narratives, some beautifully lyric solos and the rousing choral episodes make this one of the most exciting and accessible choral pieces composed in this century.
The actor Barrett Clark (a lifelong Ossining resident) will be the narrator. Linda Lehr portrays the Witch, and the other vocal soloists are Mary McGarvey, Kathleen Shimetz and Vincent Di Benedetto.
Incidentally, the Choral Arts Society welcomes new singers, so those who would like to participate in the May concert (a joint performance of Daniel Pinkham's "Garden Party" with Mr. Vernon's other county group, the Westchester Boys Choir) should call 723-2336.
January is usually a time when most choral ensembles seek to swell their ranks. Among local groups that have sent out membership calls are:
The Master Singers of Westchester, entering its 21st year with a spring program of Haydn and Bach; rehearsals begin tomorrow at 8 P.M. in Bedford's Fox Lane School; 277-5370.
The Taghkanic Chorale, continuing its 25th anniversary season with a March "Choral Masters" program of Mozart, Faure and Handel; first rehearsal: Tuesday 8 P.M. at the Yorktown Community Center; 621-1240.
The Westchester Choral Society, celebrating its golden anniversary in May with a performance of the Verdi Requiem; auditions are from 7 to 7:45 P.M. on the next three Wednesdays of the month at St. Bartholomew's Church in White Plains; 693-2453.
The Pleasantville Cantata Singers, looking ahead to a May program of Bach, Buxtehude and Faure; auditions are scheduled a week from tomorrow and the following Monday, Jan. 20, at the United Methodist Church of Pleasantville; 769-2314, evenings).
It is a bit of a drive, but the concerts of the Hudson Valley Philharmonic are also beckoning, with Bach (and Mozart) Friday at 8 P.M. at the Bardavon Opera House in Poughkeepsie and Saturday at 8 P.M. in the Ulster Performing Arts Center in Kingston. (For information, call 454-1222.)
The orchestra is, in effect, holding on-the-job auditions for the vacant post of music director, and the guest maestro for these concerts is Neal Gittleman, associate conductor of the Milwaukee Symphony. His program will include Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 2, Mozart's "Prague" Symphony and Dvorak's Seventh Symphony.Continue reading the main story

Throughout The Car Industry
The Amelia Island Concours D'Elegance, a Primer
Sound the horns. This year's Amelia Island Concours D'Elegance is the 16thannual show and is scheduled to run March 11-13. The event's host hotel, The Ritz-Carlton, was rated by readers of Conde Nast Traveler No. 5 for best resorts in North America and No. 31 for best beach hotels on planet earth from readers of Travel and Leisure Magazine. In addition to world-class amenities, staying at The Ritz also includes a hefty price tag. But considering the grandeur of the show, The Ritz Carlton is a perfect fit for such an over-the-top event. This year's lineup includes several historically significant vehicles and Indy 500 Winner Bobby Rahal as the 2011 Honoree.
The Concours d'Elegance is considered to be among the top tier of elite automotive events. Not to be confused with Pebble Beach, "The Amelia" draws almost 250 of the rarest and most appreciated vehicles from collections all around the globe. Some of the most impressive classics include the last Derby L8 (recently found in the Lake Mirror Classic in Lakeland, FL), the 1955 Biscayne concept vehicle, the Mormon Meteor Duesenberg, and the Pope's Official Mercedes-Benz Limousine. In addition to drawing unique vehicles, since 1996 the show's Foundation also has donated nearly $1.7 million to local charitable organizations.
Tickets are $45 per adult and $20 for students; however, there are several other, more expensive, ways to enjoy the full experience. Seminar topics range from the Women of Racing, Hot Rod Lifestyles, and the highly illegal, yet eyebrow raising, Cannonball Run. More expensive optional tickets include the Mercedes-Benz Gala Dinner, the VIP tent, and the Rolls-Royce Wine Makers Dinner. Perhaps most exciting, there will be a Porsche Driving Experience which includes a high-speed ride in the latest Porsche. Many of the additional feature tickets are already sold out, so act quickly or start considering investing in binoculars to watch other attendees enjoying a Porsche from afar.
The Amelia also delivers awards to special automobiles. Winners are selected for Best in Show, Best in Class, and many other specific categories labeled under the broad heading—Amelia Awards. If fine autos and swanky events don't appeal to you, you might enjoy the people watching aspect of the show. The Amelia draws many popular media stars and the bizarre characters commonly associated with classic cars, often found sporting a feathered Panama hat. Regardless of what draws your fancy, keep the camera ready.

Hoy comparto con vosotros la mirada de un buen amigo mío sobre la Diada de Sant Jordi. George Semler nos relata éste día tan especial para los catalantes de una forma que no podría ser más real y humana que cómo lo sentimos los que lo vivimos cada año.
Feliç diada!
La Diada de Sant Jordi: Barcelona's Lovers' Day
by: George Semler
Barcelona's best day? Easy. April 23---St. George's Day, La Diada de Sant Jordi, Barcelona's Valentine's day---a day when kissometer readings go off the charts, a day so sweet and playful, so goofy and romantic, that six million Catalans go giddy from dawn to dusk.
Patron saint of Catalonia, international knight-errant St. George allegedly
slew a dragon about to devour a beautiful princess south of Barcelona. From the dragon's blood sprouted a rosebush, from which the hero plucked the prettiest blossom for the princess. Hence, the traditional Rose Festival celebrated in Barcelona since the Middle Ages to honor chivalry and romantic love, a day for men and mice alike to give their true loves roses. In 1923, the lovers' fest merged with International Book Day to mark the anniversary of the all-but-simultaneous April 23, 1616 deaths of Miguel de Cervantes and William Shakespeare.
More than 4 million roses and half a million books are sold in Catalonia on Sant Jordi's Day, men giving their inamoratas roses and the ladies giving books in return. Bookstalls run the length of the Rambla, and although it's an official workday, nearly all of Barcelona manages to play hooky and wander. In the city, St. George is everywhere, beginning on the facade of the Catalonian seat of government, the Generalitat. Art Nouveau master Eusebi Arnau sculpted Sant Jordi skewering the unlucky dragon on the facade of the Casa Amatller as well as on the corner of Els Quatre Gats café, while Gaudí dedicated an entire house, Casa Batlló, to the Sant Jordi theme with the cross of the saint implanted in the scaly roof and the bones of the dragon's victims framing the windows of the main facade.
A Roman soldier martyrized for his Christian beliefs in the 4th century, St. George is one of the most venerated of all saints, patron of England, Greece, and Romania, among other places. Associated with springtime and fertility, Sant Jordi roses include a spike of wheat and a little red and yellow senyera, the Catalonian flag. And the books? There's the Shakespeare and Cervantes anniversary, and Barcelona is the publishing capital of the Spanish-speaking world. Language and love have, in any case, always been closely associated, to the point that contemporary evolutionary psychologists identify the cerebral cortex as both the erotic and linguistic center of the human brain...and don't affairs of the heart inevitably lead to exchanges of letters, books, poetry?
By midnight, the Rambla, once a watercourse, is again awash with flower water and covered with rose clippings and tiny red-and-yellow--striped ribbons with diminutive letters spelling "Sant Jordi"---"Diada de la Rosa" (Day of the Rose)---"t'estimo" (I love you).

Staff from the Missouri River Bird Observatory (MRBO) spent Super Bowl Sunday at Powell Gardens' Conservatory banding birds that were captured in special mist nets outside by the feeders. The birds banded received special colored leg bands so that individual birds at the feeders can be differentiated. Visitors who now come visit our "Feather Your Nest" conservatory display can not only relax in the beautiful spaces and watch the birds outside but help keep record of sightings of our color-banded birds. This way we can track individual birds visiting the feeders now and well into the future.
Visitors to the gardens on Sunday were treated to a first hand experience with wild birds. Dana Ripper, Director of the Missouri River Bird Observatory holds a Black-capped Chickadee and allows a young visitor to touch the soft plumage.
Here the Tufted Titmouse gets his band on his leg. The bands weigh virtually nothing and research has shown that the birds with bands tend to be more successful as they are favored by others of the species!
Now it's time to measure the Tufted Titmouse's wing. Various measurements, weight, and health were noted on each bird before it was quickly released. This is obviously our black-banded Tufted Titmouse!
We caught and banded 5 American Goldfinches, the males are still more yellow than the females in winter but nothing like their bright yellow plumage of summer.
I am interested to observe our banded birds at the feeders this winter and wonder if we'll see any of them nest or spend the summer in the garden. We caught one bird that was banded here by Craig Hensley last winter -- but put a color band on it too so we can track it with binoculars now.
We will have Dana and Ethan from the Missouri River Bird Observatory back at the gardens for some continued banding of the Powell Gardens' birds in the future so keep watch of these events if you want to see a wild bird up close and personal.

Below, find short descriptions about the level of access to places of interest on Bali. For more detailed information with photos, please contact us.
On our tours, our team is ready to assist you in any way to overcome possible barriers.
Access at PURA ULUWATU
The Uluwatu temple sits on a cliff over the Indian Ocean. A path leads along the coastline to the left and right of the temple, offering fantastic views over the cliff and the temple. Just recently the path has been equipped with several ramps, although some of them are rather steep.
The temple itself is only accessible by stairs. The stairs on a side-entrance have low and deep steps, making it easier to climb than the main entrance.
Access at TANAH LOT
Tanah Lot and Batu Bolong temples are located on rocks in the ocean. At the opposite coast, a relative even path offers great views.
If you want to go down to the rock of Tanah Lot, this can be done via the south entrance with only few steps. Depending on the tides, it is possible to get onto the base of the rock, which however is uneven and can be slippery.
The temple itself is closed expect for praying.
Access at PURA TAMAN AYUN
The front part of the park is easy to visit with even paths and ramps, leading up to the gate of the main court. When you want to surround this main court, there are a some few steps to overcome.
Access at PURA GOA LAWAH
There are two entrances, but both have some short stairs. Inside the temple court it is easy to stroll around, there are no more steps.
Access at VILLAGE TENGANAN
The village is easy to enter on newly build ramps. Paths and slopes inside are partly very bumpy, but distances are only short. It is possible to enter at least two houses via ramps.
Access at TAMAN UJUNG
We can enter the park through a side-gate to avoid stairs. Exploring the wide park is easy on even paths.
Some buildings within the park can only be entered by stairs.
Access at PURA LEMPUYANG LUHUR
The complex consists of 6 individual temples high up into the mountain, alongside 1700 steps.
We only visit the first temple, amazing Penataran Agung. With permission from the traditional village chief we use a side street that leads up to the top of this first temple. From there it is only a short flight of stairs into the court and worth the fantastic view!
Access at TIRTA EMPUL
Most parts of the complex are easy accessible and by means of a side entrance it is possible to get to the inner part of the temple.
There are stairs to get into the central pool area, but the activities at the holy springs can also be watched from outside.
Access at PURA BESAKIH
Stairs are an important part of the temple's philosophy, they lead the spiritual person upwards and closer to the sacred Mount Agung.
Visitors with difficulty to climb stairs can be assisted by our team.
Alternatively, enjoy the spectacular view of the temple from ground-level, which is easy to reach.
With a special permission we can also go by car to the upper area of the temple -and there to the Pura Gelap, the Dark Tempel- and enjoy the great view from above!
Access at KINTAMANI
Kintamani is a small town on the ancient rim of the Batur volcano. Enjoy the fantastic view on lake and volcano from the terrace of an easy accessible restaurant.
Access at
BRAHMAVIHARA ARAMA BUDHA BANJAR – the Buddhist Monastery
The terraced complex has numerous stairs. For wheelchair users and guests with difficulty to climb stairs, we have permission to use a back entrance and go by car to mid-level. A slope leads up to the top level.
Access at PURA ULUN DANU BERATAN
The park area up to the lake's shore is easy to explore with even paths and integrated ramps.
Access at SANGEH MONKEY FOREST
The park authorities have put some thought into the issue of accessibility. Most paths are even and equipped with slopes or ramps, making a round trip in the forest relatively easy.
Access at JATILUWIH
There are many small cafes along the panorama road, to sit and enjoy the view.
Some trekking paths leading down into the valley can be used with wheelchairs for some distance, before they turn into grassy paths between rice fields.

Here's where the warp cords are secured to the loom in preparation for the weaving process.
Unwrap the cord assembly from the tube mold and lay it out on the table. It should look something like this.
Your ends might be longer than the example, if so simply trim them off to the same approxomate length roughly 1 1/2" or so.
On the loop end the both loops are placed over one of the pegs.
On the button end a spare length of cord is used to tension the assembly by looping around the button and one of the pegs. Secure with a square knot.
You can also use a couple of stout rubber bands instead of the knotted cord. This holds tension on the warp.
Note that the tapestry needle remains in place holding the warp strands secure near the button. If you accidentally dislodge it go back and set up the length on the mold.
Practice is required to get the spacing and tension correct. Yes, it's a bit more involved...

LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT: CHLOÉ'S ONLY FALL 2016 RUNWAY BAGCategories:Other Brands
There are a few standard approaches to runway bags that we usually see brands take. First (and least helpfully), there are brands that don't include bags in their shows, even though they make them. They're no fun. On the other end of the continuum, you have brands that arm every single model with a bag, and sometimes more than one--they're our favorites, for obvious reasons. Most brands, including Chloé, find one of a couple available spots in the middle.
For Fall 2016, Chloé chose to showcase only one bag on its runway, and it's a totally new design that nonetheless feels extremely Chloé. The brand has churned out a stream of very well-received saddle bags over the past few seasons, but they've all been pretty structured and a bit petite; for fall, the brand chose to go a larger, slightly slouchier route but stick with the saddle bag format that has worked so well with its French-boho aesthetic.
I like the bag, and I suspect that it will be a crowd-pleaser for functional reasons when it hits stores, but I don't quite love it. The Drew, Faye and Hudson have all captured my attention because they're so sharp and have impeccable details, while this bag is just...a nice bag. But hey, sometimes a nice bag is all you want. Let us know if it tickles your fancy in the comments.

Weekend Outfit: Vampy-Casual with the Chloé Drew BagCategories:Other Brands
We're never not looking forward to the weekend, and November makes it all the more fun--who can't get on board with cozy sweaters, broken-in jeans and maybe, just maybe, a little bit of ridiculous faux fur? This weekend, that's what we hope to be wearing, and if you're on the same page, we went ahead and put together our ideal outfit. Because this is PurseBlog, though, we centered it around one of our favorite bags out there right now: the totally adorable Chloé Drew.
Slide 1 / 8
The Drew has been among the cool girl go-toes for a while now, and the modern take on the traditional saddle bag shape shouldn't be fading any time soon. This mini version is perfect for a weekend.
Slide 2 / 8
I'm not a pile-on person when it comes to jewelry, but I do like a nice little metallic accent.
Slide 3 / 8
Fisherman sweaters are super trendy, but they almost exclusively come in shades of cream and ivory. If you, like me, don't have the kind of complexion to make that work, this wine-colored version is a gorgeous alternative.
Slide 4 / 8
I have so many friends who swear by Loeffler Randall boots, so even if you don't want to take my word for it, take theirs: the brand turns out new wardrobe staples every year. These have enough height to give you a noticeable lift, but the blocky heel makes them a wear-all-day option.
Slide 5 / 8
Cruella is a little darker than a traditional bright red, but the depth of shade helps make it one of the most universally flattering bold lipcolors I've ever come across. It's great by itself or with a similar lipstick layered over it for super-long wear.
Slide 6 / 8
These jeans are already perfectly worn in for you; all you have to do is add them to your closet.
Slide 7 / 8
If you're skeptical about this much leopard faux fur, that's totally fair, but I have this coat and I'm here to tell you that it is wonderful. It's extremely soft, and the pile of the fur is low enough that it doesn't make you look like a giant puffball. I feel very powerful and get spontaneous compliments from strangers whenever I wear it. (It also comes in plus sizes, FYI!)
Slide 8 / 8
Of course, no outfit would be complete without a pair of super cool sunnies.
