It's an unrelenting month.
as cold and uncompromising
as the iron that fronts it
as brutal and as bruising
as the
hidden inside it
–bubblin' & boilin'
on the downlow
so…minus the HaHa
until one day–
(and quick, 'cause it's a short month)
–wham! right in the kisser.
For some it's a Valentine's kisser, and in that sense
quite enjoyable
–but not for long—
the February Blues get everybody
in the end, since it's an exit date.
(funny weird, not funny HaHa, but I think we covered that)
such an exacting month is subject to change
to Leap years
(though it ought to just leap itself)
and restructure itself without warning.
Roaring like a Lion
Battering like a Ram
Jamming horn and bloody claw
against the sudden cohesion
of March…

Pins and Needles, a new label out of Zurich, just released the newest stuff from Poussez. This EP, titled Vermouth, Sunshine and Codeine, obviously caught my eye because of it's name, but after I pressed play my ears were intrigued too. This is as the title suggests, chilled out house music fit for the sun, served with drinks. The originals are awesome, as are the remixes. Totally into this.

What Is The Star Social Firm Standard?
The Star Social Firm is the first quality standard to be developed in the social enterprise sector and has been . developed by Social Firms UK, especially for Social Firms (a type of social enterprise). The Star Social Firm confirms quality - of the businesses, their products and services and the workplace. The Star Social Firm quality standard is externally verified and moderated by the standards setting body, SFEDI who further ensure the integrity and reliability of the standard.
Why Social Firms UK Developed The Star Social Firm Quality Standard
Having established the Values-Based Checklist, based on the Social Firm sector's values of Enterprise, Empowerment and Employment, the staff and board of Social Firms UK decided in 2005 that establishing a quality standard should be the next step in building quality into the Social Firm sector.
The board and staff of Social Firms UK wanted to ensure that a quality standard could be introduced that would confirm a set of messages about Social Firms, their products and services and their supportive workplaces – the factors that make Social Firms unique.
For Social Firms and customers alike the Star Social Firm quality standard confirms they are:
- leading-edge, genuine Social Firms;
- sustainable, professional quality-driven businesses;
- businesses with a sound commercial focus;
- business where people and organisations can purchase with confidence;
- businesses that can help others achieve their own corporate social responsibility targets;
- businesses with high values and an ethical purpose.
For Social Firms achieving the quality standard :
- symbolises professionalism to internal and external stakeholders; and
- provides a valuable developmental process.
For the Social Firm sector as a whole Star Social Firms:
- provide inspiration to others interested in creating Social Firms;
- raise the profile of Social Firms as good businesses.
To achieve these benefits, there needs to be a rigorous standard designed to reward genuine Social Firms and reassure customers that these organisations do what they say 'on the tin'. Social Firms UK feels it is crucial to support its members in achieving high quality standards in order to promote their products and services with confidence.

TV producer Irina Păcurariu marks two decades from the Romanian Revolution of 1989 — and 20 of democracy — with the show "The Other Romania... 20 Years After", to be aired on Decembrie 15 at 11:00 PM on TVR1.
The segment will be further expanded in a subsequent edition, tentatively announced for January 13, 2010.
Also, you will recognize footage shot and edited by Camil Tulcan for the first and the second Cuculand episodes.
Update: "Our" segment is the one scheduled for January 13.
From the launch of Omagiu Magazine in 2005 (noted here) nothing cool happened in the Romanian printed magazine landscape.
Until this month, that is, when Decât o Revistă (loosely translates as Just a Magazine although it fails to convey the sense of irony) hit the streets after a masterfully conducted teasing campaign mainly via social media (follow @decatorevista on Twitter or befriend it on Facebook) but not only — see the viral video about Apropo TV's T-shirts.
What sets this magazine apart is its voluntarism.
What sets this magazine apart is its voluntarism: all content was created pro bono by a core team of five people — Cristian Lupșa, Raymond Bobar, Lavinia Gliga, Gabriel Dobre and Sebastian Ispas — together with over 40 contributors, including my Brandient colleagues Bogdan Dumitrache, Eugen Erhan, Iancu Barbărasă and Ciprian Bădălan, as well as high-profile photographers Cosmin Bumbuț, Alex Gâlmeanu, Andrei Pungovschi and radio star Răzvan Exarhu.
The editorial team's intentions with Decât o Revistă project were well documented by Cristian Lupșa on his blog: quality journalism, convincing visuals, sincerity, dialogue, accomplishing more with less, testing the market, having fun. All checked, I'd say.
Raymond Bobar (
Omagiu Magazine, Romanian Esquire, Romanian Men's Health) signs the magazine's art direction and his work is excellent. For a detailed look into the design process head to his blog.
I am happy to note that DoR's pièce de résistance is Lavinia Gliga's 10-page — outstandingly researched — article on diacritics wherein I'm quoted for my look into Romanian diacritic marks. Thank you, Lavinia.
Just perfect. Give me more.
Update: Yes, the project will continue. Godspeed.

A paralyzed man asked for my help this morning. He just crossed the road in his wheelchair and he was attempting to escalate the sidewalk curb—without a chance of succeeding. I did my best, but at one time, while climbing down the high curb, the frame touched the ground and the wheelchair got stuck.
Not without a sense of weird irony, all this was taking place on the sidewalk in front of Victoria Palace (the government building). The guards were watching.
The curbstones in front of the government building are brand new. A few days ago the old stone blocks were removed and the new ones placed in their place. Here's the catch: the old ones did have wheelchair ramps. The new ones don't.
Fuck that, why ramps? We're a healthy nation in perfect shape! Look on the streets: no infirm folks, no wheelchairs.
Because they cannot possibly afford to leave their homes.
I did not have the opportunity to share a disabled person's view on things—minor things, like high sidewalk curbs and lack of proper wheelchair access ramps turn into a living hell. Designed by incompetent morons and built by two-legged brutes, the streets are constructed against the handicapped.
A big hand of applause for the Mayor of Bucharest and for all those wonderful, decent people who run this city—thank you, guys!
Accomplished greatness comes prepackaged with either ginormous arrogance or serene humbleness and it rarely falls in between.
With a monumental filmography comprising almost fifty movies — and spanning over more than 5 decades — Victor Rebengiuc manages to remain a sweet, gentle giant.

In Bucharest the temperature dropped from 41°C a week ago to 15°C today. That's a 26°C variation in a week. Many countries do not have such a contrast between summer and winter, let alone in a few days.
And the 41°C is the official figure measured just outside the city — while on Bucharest boulevards temperatures in excess of 45 were noted. That would mark a more than 30°C decrease.
Come on folks, we can do better than this! Now close the fridges and switch on the heaters to try this again.

Oxford's stencil statement renders a scholarly tongue-in-cheek play on representation medium — art paint in spray-pait, 4 years in 4 minutes etc. Street-level postmodernism.
Bucharest street artist chooses to morph renaissance magnum opus into screwball comedy (Woody Woodpecker plays Mona Lisa or vice-versa) with a deeper layers of meaning: during communism (our childhood) among the few American1 cartoon shows allowed on Romanian Public Television2 were Woody Woodpecker episodes.
I see classroom pundit witticism vs. street retro-anarchy. What do you see?
1 Read "capitalist imperialism," as the communist propaganda machinery dubbed Western countries in general and America in special.
2 State-owned and then tightly controlled Romanian Public Television was the only television station in existence. Commercial TV station were unimaginable at the time.
I don't enjoy writing about politics, but as 2006 was drawing to an end, developments were building up.
A few remarkable specimens crawled out of the sewers lately but they're marginal compared to the one who has the power to rule them all. And it's not even his merit. It is media's.
Some journalists have little reason for sleeping well at night — during 2006 they proved crassly irresponsible in a self-distructive kind of way by promoting the extreme-right "militant of light," Mr. Becali, a growing force that once created by reckless media people is rapidly becoming a serious menace.
Consequently, he clocks in second now in the polls and experts predict his figures will continue to climb in 2007. Consider the following dystopian scenario: a heart attack or an accident disables President Basescu in near future. What then?
This XIth Francophonie Summit in Bucharest will paralyze the centre of the city and the hysteria already begun. Closed streets, police, helicopters, poker-faced guys with swollen armpits, unavailable parking spots, closed institutions.
Even dogs have to get passing permits in order to have access on the closed streets.
We're opening up towards Europe by closing down the city to its own citizens.
However, let's see the full half of glass in the story — I think this is a reasonable price to pay for all the refurbishing that's going on in Bucharest for the last few weeks. We now have a cleaner city that hopefully will educate the citizens that cleaner is better. Even the Victory Square and its surroundings turned into a more civilized place.

2016 was the first full year that I had my blog. It has brought me so much joy over the past year, but I'd be lying if I didn't also say that it brought me some stress. I had so many hopes for what my blog would become in 2016 and, just like a few other goals of mine *ahem weight loss*, I felt like I didn't quite get to where I wanted to be. I found myself thinking so much about what more I could/should have done, that I almost forgot about all the amazing things I did do.
With that being said, here are my top 5 posts from 2016, proof that maybe I did accomplish more with this little piece of the internet than I had originally thought.
- Lush Review: Ranking Of Bath Bombs - This was my most viewed post of 2016, and I gotta say, I really loved all of the hard work that had to go into my research. I mean...I had to take a lot of baths. I think 2017 calls for an updated ranking!
- Brazilian Blowout: Worth The Money? - Not many people have heard of or gotten Brazilian Blowouts, so I loved getting to share the whole process. For something that is quite expensive, I hope it helped steer some decisions!
- Travel Tuesday: Cancun - I love to travel and have been pretty lucky that I've gotten to go to quite a few places! This trip to Cancun was my first vacation since I had started working and I had the most amazing time. I love getting to look back at these pictures and remember just how beautiful it was!
- Review: My Makeup Brush Set - Look at me! I'm a real blogger who people want to send stuff to! This was such a fun thing to get in the mail as I'd never used oval brushes before. I know most people probably hadn't tried them either so it was awesome getting to share my opinions (good and bad) on them.
- CaseApp Phone Case & Giveaway - Going off of the above, this felt like my first real brand partnership where someone legit had reached out to me, offering to exchange a free product for an honest review. I remember reading the initial email and being SO happy. I have since collaborated with CaseApp a few more times so it also ended up being one of my best partnerships to date!
Hope you enjoyed this 2016 throwback from Imperfectly Rachel and that you got to check out any posts you may have missed the first time around!
Wishing you all an amazing 2017 :)

As more and more people are writing emails to supplement traditional forms of business communication, an established etiquette is required to help insure that good manners are the rule, rather than the exception in cyberspace.
The simplest way of checking your email before you send it is to ask yourself, 'How would I feel if I received this message?' As with letter writing, writing email correspondence is subject to misinterpretation since there is no tone of voice or body language for the reader to take cues from. With email one hundred percent of the tone comes from the words you use and how you use them. Below are the ten most common mistakes that are made when writing emails, and their solutions:
- Thinking e-mail is good for everything.
Don't let convenience blind you, sensitive issues, confidential information, provocative subjects and areas of conflict are just a few of the messages that should be off-limits to email and dealt with via phone or face-to-face.
- Not writing e-mail from the reader's perspective.
Could your message be misinterpreted? Could an innocent tongue-in-cheek remark be misconstrued? Re-read all your e-mails and become sensitive to their 'tone' and how readers might interpret them.
- Forgetting about the importance of etiquette.
It's always a good idea, no matter how rushed you are, to create a positive impression by using an opening and closing (for example, Dear Mr. Smith or Regards, Joe Black), correcting sloppy grammar and spelling, using a clear and descriptive subject line, and not using jargon and abbreviations that might mystify the reader.
- CCing the world.
Often, people courtesy copy (cc) others as a means of cyber-gossip or to vent their frustrations. This leads not only to traffic jams in others' in-boxes, but in the worst case, defamation, and in the best case, hurt feelings. When writing e-mail, only cc those parties that are directly related to the situation or email message.
- Believing that an erased e-mail is gone forever.
Even if you delete an e-mail message from your in-box, it is retrievable from the company's system, the recipient's computer, or from the recipient's company's network. With technical know how, e-mails can even be retrieved from your computer's hard drive. Learn to think of e-mail documents as permanent.
- Viewing instant messages as less 'formal' than e-mail.
The nature of IM or chat is similar to a conversation where both parties are responding to one another in real time. Living up to their name, IMs happen in the moment and, unlike e-mail, they are reactive. The next thing you type depends on the message you receive. With their rapid-fire speed it's easy to forego discipline and make silly mistakes – such as making assumptions that have little or no facts behind them, promises that can't be fulfilled or disclosing private company information.
- Assuming people have time to read your entire message.
To be most effective, whenever possible, e-mail messages should contain all the most pertinent and important data in the first paragraph. Most of us have a short attention span when reading from a computer screen and if we think we know where the message is going, it's easy to save time and move onto the next message without having read the nugget of information buried in the last paragraph.
- Mismatching the sender's tone.
One of the toughest aspects of writing e-mail is developing a feeling of rapport – especially if you don't know the person with whom you are corresponding. Writers with a formal, no-nonsense style usually like a similar response. For others who take a more chatty and expressive approach to their emails, respond in kind.
- Lack of a clear request.
You know how frustrating it can be to read and reread an e-mail and not know what the sender really wants, 'Is it an FYI or do I need to do something?' Email senders take note; specific requests are essential in email. Make sure yours are clearly defined, have a timeframe attached to them and include any necessary background information. If your email isn't a request label it an FYI.
- Not re-reading before you hit 'send'.
As any contractor knows the rule is 'measure twice, cut once.' By reading your e-mail over before you send it you can catch and correct all sorts of mistakes before they get to the recipient and possibly create a bad impression or put you and/or your company in hot water.

The fast-approaching deadline for filing income taxes doesn`t trouble Ben Ginns.
Ginns has no fear of the season. In fact, he looks forward to its arrival.
``I happen to be one of those crazy people who enjoy doing taxes,`` said the retired tax director of a holding company.
Ginns directs 11 volunteers, mostly retired certified public accountants or IRS employees, who help taxpayers get their forms in the mail by April 15.
``We`re gearing up for the onslaught,`` said Dee Dee Cobb-Byrd, public affairs officer at the Internal Revenue Service`s new Fort Lauderdale District Office.
People who realize they need help are swarming to VITA (Volunteer Individual Tax Assistance) and TCE (Tax Counseling for the Elderly) sites throughout Broward County.
Volunteers who have passed an IRS exam assist with 1040, 1040A and 1040EZ forms.
Ginns has been on what he calls ``a mission of mercy`` for 14 years. He coordinates TCE centers at East Regional Library and Blessed Sacrament Church in Fort Lauderdale.
On a recent afternoon and in less than an hour, Ginns assisted a woman entitled to a $26 refund.
``It`s as good in her pocketbook as the IRS`,`` he said.
A couple from Wilton Manors who were having difficulty with their tax forms were also helped by Ginns.
``I came here last year, and it`s very helpful,`` said Edward Chmiele. ``Every year the IRS says they`re simplifying the form, but it`s always confusing.``
There are about 300 VITA and TCE sites in South Florida staffed by 2,000 volunteers. TCE is sponsored by the American Association of Retired Persons.

Motorola is looking to trump the iPhone 4 by raising the performance bar for high-end Android smartphones, according to a report.
Conceivably Tech, a technology blog, cited general comments about the future phone from Sanjay Jha, the CEO of Motorola's Mobile Devices Division, who was speaking at the Executives Club of Chicago Wednesday.
The report went on to say that another Motorola executive, "who asked to remain anonymous," said that the phone would include "everything that is technologically possible in a smartphone today" and will be based on Android, like the current Motorola Droid. Unlike the Droid, it will pack an Nvidia processor and integrate a gyroscope--like the iPhone 4.
The Nvidia chip will support full Flash 10.1 hardware acceleration, a feature the iPhone notoriously lacks.
In January, Nvidia announced its Tegra 250 processor which is a cutting-edge dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor running at speeds of up to 1.0 GHz--and one of the first dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processors. It is not clear if the future Motorola phone would use this chip or a future Nvidia Tegra processor.
What is clear is that future smartphones packing dual-core processors will be powerful devices. Along these lines, Jha talked about his vision for mobile devices, predicting that within two years many companies will give their employees smartphones instead of laptops, as smartphones take on many of the attributes of mobile computers, according to the report, which was also later blogged about by CNET's Bonnie Cha.

Death, Medicine, and Bioethics
Hunt, Geoffrey
Bibliographic Citation
Theoretical Medicine. 1994 Dec; 15(4): 431-447.
The assumptions of philosophy need scrutiny as much as the assumptions of medicine do. Scrutiny shows that the philosophical method of bioethics is compromised, for it shares certain fundamental assumptions with medicine itself. To show this requires an unorthodox style of philosophy -- a literary one. To show the compromised status of bioethics the paper discusses some seminal utilitarian discussions of the definition of death, of whether it is a bad thing and of when it ought to occur.

Time Remembered & A Fortunate Grandchild
- Letto da: Miss Read
- Durata: 4 ore e 24 min
- Versione integrale
- Data di pubblicazione: 07 01 2013
- Lingua: Inglese
- Editore: Audible Studios
Sintesi dell'editore
Those who have come to love Miss Read's delightfully humorous novels of country life will be enraptured by these two autobiographical volumes, affectionate and unashamedly nostalgic accounts of her childhood.
In A Fortunate Grandchild, Miss Read draws on her gentle and colourful memories of Grandma Read in Lewisham and Grandma Shafe in Walton-on-the-Naze, and their rambling, flock-wallpapered houses full of nooks and forbidden adult mysteries, which provided young Dora with a bedrock of security in the uncertain days of the Great War.
Time Remembered describes the three years - 1921 to 1924 - that Miss Read spent at the village school in Chelsfield, Kent - one of the happiest periods of her life.

Prager 20150415 – 3 Stacked
Wed, Apr 15, 2015 • Past Show
Prager H3: Hillary Clinton complains that the "deck is stacked" in favor of the top wage earners. How did top earners get there? Was it all luck? All social forces? Plus, Hillary makes as much $300K per speech. A janitor at the auditorium where she speaks might make $10 an hour. Is that fair?… You want to stack the deck in your favor? Get an education, get a job, get married… Our armed forces are now being trained on how to get consent before kissing a woman… "Police Brutality" protestors closed down the Brooklyn Bridge. Why is this allowed?

Administration orders and the register
Known as a 'mini-bankruptcy', an Administration Order empowers the court to take over administration of the defendant's debts, whilst an agreed regular amount is repaid.
Registration of Administration Orders
Registry Trust Ltd (RTL) is contracted to the Ministry of Justice to maintain the statutory public Register of Judgments, Orders and Fines for England & Wales, one section of which includes details of Administration Orders.
Any debtor, against whom at least one county court judgment is registered, can make application to the court for an Administration Order.
If granted, this provides protection from further action by creditors in respect of any debts listed under the Order.
Creditors not included in the Order cannot pursue their debts separately through the courts – if they try, these debts are automatically added to the Administration Order.
What's on the register
All courts are required to provide details of Administration Orders against individuals for inclusion in the public register, which is kept by Registry Trust Ltd (RTL) on behalf of the Ministry of Justice.
The information on the register includes:
- Court name and Order number
- Name and address of defendant
- Total amount payable
- Date of Order
- Date of Varied Order, Satisfaction or Revocation
When the register changes
The information on the register is updated when RTL are advised by the court.
Varying an administration order
This occurs when the amount of the debt agreed under the original Order has been changed by the addition of new creditors or when a composition order (debt reduced to % of £ owed) is made.
The courts must notify RTL and the Varied Order replaces the original one.
Satisfying an administration order
When an Administration Order has been paid in full, the Court must notify RTL so that the Register can be amended. The defendant can also apply to the court for a certificate of satisfaction, available for a court fee of £15 (cheque/postal order payable to HMCTS).
Any county court judgment(s) included in the Order can only be marked as satisfied if the judgment is paid in full and, if required, a separate fee must be paid for any certificate of satisfaction.
Revoking an administration order
If the defendant does not make the regular payment ordered by the court, the arrangement under the Administration Order may be withdrawn and the Order is then revoked.
This releases creditors from the restrictions imposed and enables them to take further legal action – either obtaining a judgment where one does not already exist or making a bankruptcy application.
The court must notify RTL of the revocation so that the Register can be amended.
Setting aside
When an Administration Order is set aside by the court, or repaid within one calendar month, RTL must be notified so that the item can be removed from the Register.
If full payment is made within one month, the defendant can also apply to the court for a Certificate of Cancellation, available for a court fee of £15 (cheque/postal order payable to HMCTS).
The cancellation/setting aside of an Administration Order does not affect any county court judgment(s) included in that Order.
Suspending an administration order
This occurs when the defendant is unable to continue payments for a period and where the reason for this is acceptable to the court. Registry Trust Ltd is not notified.
General information
Details of Administration Orders and any subsequent amendments are passed to the credit reference agencies for inclusion in their records, to be notified to lenders on receipt of a credit application, as an aid to responsible lending.
Public searches of the Administration Order section of the Register can be made for yourself or for others.
Corporate Administration Orders
Under the Insolvency Act 1986, an Administration Order may also be made against a limited company. Details of these administration Orders are notified to Companies House and are not held on this Register.

Nick Cannon doesn't have an issue with R. Kelly, despite reports that the R&B crooner is housing women in a brainwashed state and against their will.
"If we're going to judge R. Kelly, we gotta judge Roman Polanski," Cannon told E!'s "Daily Pop" Monday Tuesday, Aug. 1, of the Oscar-winning director who pleaded guilty raping a 13-year-old girl in 1977. Polanski was sentenced to 42 days in jail for the case and fled the U.S. before then.
Kelly allegedly controls women in his Chicago and Atlanta homes — from how they dress, when they sleep and how they behave during taped sexual encounters with him. It is the newest sexual misconduct accusation against the "Bump N' Grind" singer, who pleaded not guilty to 14 counts of child porn in 2008. He also had an annulled marriage to his mentee, the late singer Aaliyah, when she was 15.
"I don't know what that man does at night," Cannon said of Kelly. "I've been in the studio with that man, that man is a genius. I've been onstage with him, I ain't been in his bedroom. I don't know if it's a cult, I don't know if it's fire and lights, brimstone. I don't know. And I really don't care. That's none of my business what R. Kelly does with his situation."
Kelly has denied the accusations and a woman who lives in his Atlanta home refuted reports she is being held captive and in a brainwashed state.

Sitka Gear, the industry leader in performance hunting gear, has reintroduced the Timberline Jacket and Pant. Newly developed bombproof textiles, taped WINDSTOPPER® fabrics, and an uncompromising level performance, earns the new Timberline Series a spot in every mountain hunter's arsenal.
The Timberline Jacket's performance fit features a boby-mapped Micro Grid Fleece insulation to keep your core warm, and the reinforced shoulders and sleeves will hold their own in the rugged terrain. This mid- to late-season jacket is Sitka's most versatile in the big game lineup. The Timberline Jacket is available in GORETM OPTIFADETM Concealment Open Country, sizes medium to 2XL and has an MSRP of $349.
By reinforcing the seat, knees and hem on the Timberline Pant, Sitka was able to make it a more durable and pliable, meaning it can stand up to the rigors of any alpine hunt. This highly-technical 4-way stretch nylon pant is far more water repellent and quicker drying than before, translating to less weight when packing it away. The Timberline Pant is available in GORETM OPTIFADETM Concealment Open Country, Lead and Moss, and it has an MSRP of $229. The Timberline Pant is available in the following waist sizes:
Camo: Even sizes from 30-44 inches, odd sizes from 31-37 inches
Camo Tall: Even sizes from 32-38 inches, odd sizes from 33-37 inches
Solid: 30-44 inches
Solid Tall: 32-38 inches

A few times a month I check in on my blog stats and look at the search terms people use to arrive at my site. Aside from curvy Pentecostal girl (join me in laughter), most people land here by searching for modest skirts, dresses, and…modest workout clothes. Sometimes I feel a little silly writing about modest workout clothes because I'm not sure how many ways I can say I-wear-jersey-knit-skirts-and-leggings, but in the words of Harry Cohn, "Give the public what they want."
I think most people who don't wear shorts, pants, and leggings as pants (UGH) know they'll have to wear skirts to workout, so I don't think I'm givin' ya'll brand new information here. Most ladies I've talked to on Instagram and Facebook admit the hardest part about modest workout clothes is—finding modest workout clothes!
For the most part, tops are easy to find. You can virtually wear any sweatshirt, hoodie, or top. I suggest Athleta, and I've had good luck Old Navy's activewear tops (this top and this tank). As far as modest workout skirts go, simply searching for exercise skirts will give you a variety of mini skirts to choose from, but not too many skirts that fall past the knees. I've used my Kosher Casual skirt and my HydroChic skirt for running, walking, hiking, and a variety of other exercises. I don't know how many times I've said this, but when these Old Navy skirts go on sale, I stock up (currently: $10 and an extra 30% with code SWEETDEAL).
From the image above: Old Navy skirt, Arcteryx A2B Tank , The North Face hoodie, Nike Free 5.0 running shoes, VANS backpack
Get more modest workout clothes below:
I'm currently going to a morning bootcamp, and I've been looking for a less restrictive skirt. I do like my straight pencil skirts because I don't have to worry about them falling as I lift my legs for leg lifts; I've been looking at this Prana skirt, and I might have to give it a test.
Prana Skirt (multiple colors), Zella leggings, New Balance long sleeve, Reebok training watch, Wild Pair duffle bag, ASICS trail running shoes, Reebok performance gloves (similar styles here)
Pictured above: Kale sweatshirt (multiple colors), Herschel backpack, New Balance 574s (I have these in the tide pool color!), FitBit Charge, Daily Look skirt
Do you have any more suggestions? Add them in the comments. If you sell modest workout skirts and gear, use the contact button to find out how to share your products my readers.
Missed the first blog posts about modest workout clothes? Read here and here.
I have 2 athletic skorts from Dressing for His Glory (http://www.dressingforhisglory.com/) I've had them for about 4 years and wear them 4-5 times a week for running and cycling. They have held up really well. They aren't cheap, but since they've lasted so long, they're definitely worth it.
Hey Chandra! I love seeing as many posts as possible about modest workout gear, it never gets old for me. Personally I wear Jersey skirts and leggings. I'd be interested in seeing some interviews with ladies that workout while dressed modestly and accompanying photos. I would also like to see a post about school aged young ladies that participate in sports while dressing modestly. Its encouraging to know that we can be active and have fun while still being modest.

3 pass trekking
We used the Nepal Wilderness Trekking company for a 19 day "3 Pass Trek" in the Everest region, in October 2012. Himal Ghale, the owner, was highly knowledgeable about the Everest Region having worked there as a Guide in the past. Himal organised a tailor-made itinerary for us, based on our interests, abilities and time commitments. This included the "3 Passes" route, Everest Base Camp and Kala Pattar, and the addition of a summit of Island Peak. Himal was very responsive in answering our initial questions (remotely), meet with us in Kathmandu, and dealt with some challenges that arose from unforeseen weather conditions.
We were also extremely happy with our assigned Porter/Guide – named "BB". BB provided first class support to us throughout the trek and lived up to his reputation as a strong and highly experienced Porter/Guide. Amazingly, BB had competed over the past 8 years in the Tensing/ Hillary Everest Marathon!!He knew the region extremely well, including the many route variations and options we could take for different terrain/altitude, and chose excellent guest houses for us to stay at. BB was well known, respected and welcomed by guest house proprietors along the way. He was also a very kind and caring gentleman – we will always remember BB with great fondness, respect and gratitude for a wonderful trekking experience.
We wish Himal well over the future years and would recommend the Nepal Wilderness Trekking company to other trekkers for the Everest region.

Gloomy scale insects reproduce more when the trees they live on are under the stress of heat and drought, according to new study led by University of Florida/IFAS entomology assistant professor Adam Dale.
Adam's new research is important as residents and urban landscapers decide when and where to plant red maples. The shade tree native, widely distributed in North America from Florida to Canada, helps cool urban areas.
Adam conducted the study in Raleigh, North Carolina, when he was a doctoral student at North Carolina State University. He wanted to know how the gloomy scale, an insect widely distributed in the eastern and southeastern U.S., would respond to hot, dry weather—conditions typical for urban trees. Researchers studied urban red maples at various temperatures around the city. Then they irrigated half the trees twice a week during the summers of 2014 and 2015.
At the end of 2015, they collected gloomy scales from each tree, measured their body size, dissected them and counted the number of eggs the insects produced. They then looked at the relationship between the temperature in the tree's canopy and whether the tree was irrigated. Scientists wanted to see if either factor had an effect on the insects' body size or egg production.
The hotter and drier the trees were, the more eggs the gloomy scales produced.
"This insect is drastically more abundant on urban than rural trees throughout the southeastern U.S.," Adam said. "It reduces the health of these trees along with the services they provide to people and the environment."
In many ways, this native pest acts like an invasive insect when it is in urban landscapes, he said.
The scale's favorite host tree is red maple, also "the most common urban landscape tree in the eastern U.S.," Adam said. "Since the gloomy scale benefits from warming and drought—two features common to urban landscapes—and urban landscapes are rapidly expanding, there is a potential for this pest to proliferate and cause even more problems in the future."
Urban foresters and landscape architects can use the study's findings by selecting more appropriate trees to be planted where heat and drought stress may likely be.
"Sites that are surrounded by more impervious surfaces—roads, parking lots, buildings and more—and thus warmer and drier, are not the most suitable sites for these trees," Adam said. "If they are in such sites, irrigating during the warmest months to reduce drought stress can help manage these pests."

text: During my wanderings looking for painting subjects I keep my eyes open for cows in a stream. Lately I haven't seen anything that inspired me to paint so yesterday I took some old photos I had of cows in pastures and made up a composition and created my own steam. I named it after a stream near my old home town of Galena, Illinois because my uncle years ago had a cottage there. We used to have family picnics that always included swiming or wading. Usually it was necessary to share the stream with cows.

Do you know what Kipuu.cn is?
Kipuu.cn is a malicious infection that uses the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) script to its own advantage. This infection manifests as a browser hijacker that corrupts the homepage. The bad news is that disabling this hijacker appears to be impossible because it is capable of reinstalling itself using the WMI tool. Because of that, most users have problems removing Kipuu.cn from their browsers. Luckily, it is possible to get rid of this infection with the right tools and the right approach. Our research team has thoroughly inspected this malicious threat, and you can learn all about the findings by reading this report. Note that a comments section below can be used to add any questions that we will try to answer to clear things up and help you eliminate the infection successfully.
According to our research, Kipuu.cn is a copy of such infamous infections as yeabests.cc and moosjs.cn. It is unknown if these infections were created by the same people, but we have found out that Kipuu.cn creators either come from or are located in China. Also, they are responsible for a potentially unwanted program known by the name "YeaPlayer," which proves that this party is not developing reliable software. Surely, you cannot trust a company that does not have a good reputation. Based on the recent data, users who live in India, Indonesia, Egypt, Brazil, and Saudi Arabia are most likely to become victims of the suspicious hijacker. So, how is it spread? Our research team informs that a malicious clandestine Trojan is the most probable culprit. A Trojan might slither in and stay hidden for months and even years, and it can silently download other infections without your notice. Of course, that means that other threats might be active as well, and, if they are, you need to find and delete them ASAP.Kipuu.cn screenshot
Scroll down for full removal instructions
When Kipuu.cn is executed, it modifies the homepage. Although it does not have a search tool like most other hijackers, it displays advertisements, and interacting with them could be dangerous. The banner ads shown might look harmless, but do not underestimate them. Even if they appear to promote great offers, what lies underneath could be completely unexpected. You should also be careful about the easy-access links that are represented via the home page of Kipuu.cn. Some of these links, such as facebook.com, netflix.com, walmart.com, or ebay.com, might be harmless, but we cannot ensure that all links represented via the hijacker's interface will be. Overall, we do not recommend interacting with this WMI hijacker, and it is important that you remove it as soon as possible.
There is no denying that Kipuu.cn is a serious threat, and you have to have real skills and experience to be able to remove it manually because you are dealing with the Windows Management Instrumentation script. If you do not know how to delete Kipuu.cn infection script from WMI, you should consider using an alternative removal method, which is to install anti-malware software capable of erasing malware automatically. Considering that a clandestine Trojan is likely to be present as well, we strongly advise employing a trusted anti-malware tool without further hesitation. This tool will reliably eliminate all active threats, as well as enable protection ensuring that your operating system does not get infected with malware in the future. Should you stick with manual removal, do not forget about Windows protection.
Remove Kipuu.cn
- Launch Windows Explorer by tapping Win+E keys.
- Enter C:\Windows\System32\ into the address bar at the top.
- Enter wbemtest into the search box on the top-right corner to find it.
- Right-click the executable called wbemtest.exe and select Run as Administrator.
- In the WMI Tester window click Connect…
- Place the cursor in the Namespace box and enter root\subscription.
- Click Connect again, and a new window will show up.
- Check Enable All Privileges and click Enum Instances.
- In the Class Info dialog box enter ActiveScriptEventConsumer and click OK.
- In the Query Results menu look for an instance called ASEC.
- Select it and click Delete and then exit all menus.
- Right-click the shortcut of the infected browser (you will have to repeat this with all shortcuts).
- Select Properties, click the Shortcut tab, and move to Target.
- Erase the hijacker's appendage and click OK (the normal Target should show only the location of the main browser's .exe, such as "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe").
- Do not forget to scan your PC to see if other threats are active, such as clandestine Trojans.
In non-techie terms:
If your web browser was corrupted by Kipuu.cn, other threats might be active as well. Inspect your operating system with a reliable malware scanner to see if other dangerous infections are active because they could be even more aggressive than the hijacker itself. Of course, you cannot underestimate the hijacker, and removing it is crucial. Unfortunately, this WMI hijacker is capable of employing WMI script to stop you from eliminating it, and you have to use a very unique method to eliminate this infection. Needless to say, you do not have to delete Kipuu.cn manually. In fact, we believe it would be much better and safer if you employed automated malware detection and removal software, especially if other threats are active on your PC. If you are struggling to erase the infection from your operating system, use the comments section below to communicate with us. We will try to help you at our best ability.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A federal judge questioned Tuesday why a white Ivy League student found with thousands of images of child pornography during a computer hacking probe was not charged with that crime — and was spared the decade-long sentence looming over a black convicted child pornographer at the same hearing.
University of Pennsylvania senior Ryan Goldstein, 22, of Ambler, will spend three months in prison and five years on federal probation for a hacking scheme that caused a Penn engineering server to crash in 2006.
Goldstein pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor and worked long hours helping the FBI investigate a worldwide hacking enterprise, lawyers on both sides agreed.
But even as he was cooperating, Goldstein twice engaged in unspecified mischief with FBI computers, causing investigators to fall short of their ultimate goal, U.S. District Judge Michael Baylson said.
"It was very detrimental to the investigation," said Baylson, who heard details of the misconduct behind closed doors at the start of Tuesday's sentencing hearing. "It's very disturbing."

Learn more about the Roof's history and find out the facts…
The Roof of Africa had its humble beginnings in 1967 when Bob Phillips, a Roads Engineer working in Lesotho, approached the Sports Car Club in Johannesburg and asked them if they would like to run a race over the worst road in the world that he had just finished building. The Roof of Africa was born!
The Roof of Africa quickly gained in popularity and it had become sponsored by The Star newspaper further promoting what was fast becoming a legend. In 1969 motorcycles starting competing against the cars and the event was soon split into two categories.
The event continued to grow through the 70's 80's and 90's and the legend continued to grow. Up until 1982 the event ran right across Lesotho with overnight stops in either Matatiele or Sani Pass. From 1982 the event has been contained within the borders of Lesotho. The Roof of Africa was also attracting overseas interest and regular participation from overseas competitors
By the year 2000 Off Road car racing had become a highly specialised sport with big Manufacturer involvement. Single vehicles were now costing multi million Maloti and the Roof became "too tough" for them and the controlling federation decided to drop cars from the calendar. Some forecast doom but this was in fact a second birth for the Roof of Africa with record motorcycle entries being received. The event is now so popular that a Qualifying event for the Bronze Category has to be held.
Worldwide, Hard Enduro or Extreme Enduro has become increasingly popular and the Roof became known as the mother of hard enduro.
- The Roof has been run every year since 1967, except 1998 due to the riots in Lesotho.
- 2017 will see the 50th staging of this event.
- The Roof is a non political event that has enjoyed great relationships with all the ruling parties and Military over the years.

- The Roof is at the forefront of technology.
- The Roof attracts nearly 400 competitors.
- The Roof is contested by the top competitors in the world as well as all the top competitors from the sub-continent.
- The Roof is now considered as a "bucket list event" in the same way that people do the Comrades Marathon, Two Oceans, Cape Epic etc.
- The Roof has an enviable safety record. Medical Support is of the highest available standards and world class hospital facilities are close by.
- The event is attended by many Lesotho dignitaries.
- The prize fund equivalent or better than the other Extreme events worldwide.
- The Roof is a highly visible sport reaching not only the town, but a lot of people in rural areas as well.

News & Events
Help me find...
January 7, 2018
[Carmelite Convent Chapel, Kaneohe]
When I visit the parishes of our diocese, I am always impressed by the faith and devotion of our parishioners. Our parishes offer schools to educate our youth, religious education programs, youth ministry, outreach to the homebound, programs to feed the hungry, and many other wonderful services. I was thinking of the recent pre-Christmas Misas de Gallo, those early morning (4:30 or 5:00 a.m.!) Masses on the nine days before Christmas that perhaps a third or half of our parishes celebrate now. I would be willing to bet that throughout our state 10,000 people participated daily in such Masses. That is a cause for rejoicing. So many of our people are such an inspiration in their faith and devotion to the Lord Jesus!
Yet in those parish visits I also note that the wonderful things we do are generally for those who come to us. Seldom do we venture out of the confines of the parish to shine the light of Christ in the dark places that cover the earth. We seldom let our light shine beyond those who already believe what we believe so that they, too, can come to know the light of the world. So today's feast of the Epiphany – the showing forth of the Lord – is a good occasion to reflect on the mission the Lord has given us to be the stars that guide the "gentiles" of our world – those who do not know the Lord Jesus except as an historical character. But like the Magi, those wise men from the East, we must venture out, leave the comfort of the familiar, and go to others so that they can know and love the Savior of the world.
While the Magi probably travelled many hundreds of miles over "field and fountain, moor and mountain," (as the song says) we may not have to travel any farther than the kitchen table, where our family members gather who either have really never known the love of Jesus or who have put him to one side in their lives. We may not have to go any farther than the lunchroom at work where we can give witness to Jesus to our coworkers, engaging them in conversation about our faith and the light that it brings to our lives. Even though the distances we have to travel may be very short, the journey can be as formidable as crossing a desert or climbing a mountain. If Jesus is to have his epiphany, his being shown to those who do not yet know him, then we must commit to make that journey beyond the safety of those we know already share our faith.
This story also calls us to be realistic, however. It would be foolish to set out on a journey without preparing for it, and one of the things we note is that the journey may take us to those who are hostile to Jesus and his message, just as Herod was. Herod, of course, viewed the "newborn king of the Jews" as competition, and he would tolerate no competition to his kingship. In these days, we live in a culture characterized by what I call "egotheism," in which each individual thinks that he or she is the ultimate arbiter of the truth, deciding for oneself when life begins and when it should end, one's gender, or one's own definition of truth. This self-anointing is, of course, contrary to the Gospel, which recognizes we are creatures who live in the truth that we did not create, but who do so with splendor and light, because we bask in the love of God. We must be prepared for the suspicion and even rejection that can come when we inadvertently threaten the kingship of another by inviting them to bow down before the true King of all. The Magi presented gifts of gold and frankincense, indicating homage to a king. Yet they also took myrrh, the oil used to anoint the dead, because they knew that paying homage to the real king would throw other kings and queens into fits of jealousy.
Yet if we feel a joy in knowing Jesus, we will feel an even greater joy in making the journey out of ourselves to share his light and love with others who do not yet know him or whose love for him has grown cold. He did not come as God-with-us to be hidden away, but to be a light to all nations. And he has called each of us who already have come to adore him to be the stars that guide others to offer all they have and all they are in homage to the Savior of the world.

Ranking right up there with executing a shoot is putting together a vision in my creative mind that includes a solid theme, a great subject or subject matter, time of day, location and intangibles. When all those elements come together to solidify the concept it's like getting a shot of adrenaline! Executing that vision is, of course fun too but also challenging to have that final product live up to what your mind can put together! It's all idealistic until the moment of truth arrives..
I had seen somewhere in an ad, the use of a vehicle behind someone that I vaguely remembered and thought it would translate nicely into a Ballerina Series shoot. I had the thought that the story to the viewer might be freedom or an association of being free. That, coupled with the pose would hopefully bring it to light.
Speaking of light, I find it difficult after so many years of doing this to imagine a shoot that doesn't have isolated lighting of some kind; that being light that highlights my subject and thus brings more impact to the story.
I had been to this locale a few times in the past and luckily I have a very good visual recall. I had hoped to find a place that I could incorporate a beautiful western sky at sunset, water, a safe and clean road and some form of urban life. This place nailed it on the head! I used two lights on the subject after setting my ambient exposure in manual mode, remembering to boost iso as it got darker to keep my shutter speeds to a reasonable 1/100 sec. (I shoot manual mode most of the time). I used a soft box to diffuse my light and a weaker fill light. *Tip: Artificial light takes less power and intensity as you boost your iso.
Next my dancer, Morgan and I worked on poses that fit the scenario, and also her style. We were both very happy with the end result. I didn't hurt that we got a killer sky either 🙂

If I had to pick a time of year that I miss being in India, it would most certainly be during this festival of lights called Diwali. Sure, I would like to celebrate all festivals with my family, but during Diwali, it is not just the family I miss. I miss walking out on my street and watching rows of diyas (oil lamps) adorn the thresholds of all houses; I miss the community celebrations and the fireworks (no the 4th of July does not invoke the same feeling in me); I miss eating homemade sweets that I did not have to make 😛 . But most of all, I just miss Diwali as I remember it from my childhood – a normal Diwali (as I have come to think of it).
In US, most Indian festivals that fall on weekdays, are celebrated on weekends; by visiting temples, or organizing a get-together to celebrate the occasion with friends. The actual day of the festival is business as usual, as it is not a holiday, and it is pretty hard to get time from the daily grind to do anything special.
It has been almost 6 years here, and we have watched Diwalis come and go, with 2 predominant thoughts in our minds –
It's just not the same here; I miss the normal Diwali celebrations.
I wish we were home…
But the thing is – we ARE home. This is our home; the life we chose. For our son who is born here- this is his country, his life, his normal. Now it is up to us, how we shape that normal, and our failure to do so will have far reaching consequences -D will grow up without having any fond memories of Diwali, and what a travesty that would be!
So, in an effort to create a beautiful normal for him when it comes to Diwali – we have decided to make it special – take off from work on Diwali day and spend it with family; visit the temple on the same day; light oil lamps in the house; put up a string of electronic lights; draw a rangoli with colored sand, and gorge on Indian sweets. Small steps, I know, but this is only the beginning of a tradition that we hope to create for our family in our little corner of the world, and keep a slice of India alive in America.
Wishing you all a very Happy Diwali. May the divine light of Diwali shine in your life all through the year and fill your life with happiness and prosperity.
