Olympia & Homelessness
Our History
The People's House is the result of the research, planning, and coordination of the Low Barrier Shelter Task Force. This Task Force, facilitated by the Thurston County Homeless Coordinator, brought together the wisdom, experience and energy of Olympia's most dedicated service providers to come up with the best solutions to our city's lack of accessible shelter.
Our Mission
To advance the social inclusion and empowerment of the homeless through innovative practices of sheltering, mental health and emergency basic needs coordination.
Our Philosophy
The People's House is dedicated to providing emergency services and support to those in need, not as charity but as an act of social justice. Homelessness, domestic violence, substance abuse, mental illness, and chronic physical health problems have left many in our community vulnerable and unsafe. The stigma associated with homelessness and poverty pushes those most in need further away, and refuses these individuals their basic human rights and dignity. The work of the People's House is rooted in empowerment, social inclusion, and community education to end the unnecessary stigmatization of the most vulnerable.
People Experiencing Homelessness
Working Within the Community
The People's House recognizes the significant impacts that unmanaged homelessness has on local businesses, housed residents and governmental entities that are located in and around the
downtown core.
Providing Downtown Olympia with a safe, accommodating, and well-managed facility for homeless individuals will create relief for downtown businesses, public works, law enforcement and sidewalks so that these places may be used for their intended purposes.
Filling the Gaps in Homeless Services
This project will succeed in fulfilling multiple needs outlined by the Thurston County Homeless Coordinator's gaps analysis.
The People's House will host at least 40 beds
The shelter first model will increase shelter utilization and capacity and decrease the number of illegal encampments, street violence, and weather related deaths and illnesses within the homeless community.
A Vital Step Towards Housing
Providing maximum access to basic needs services will provide greater opportunity for people to connect with the social service network. By working collaboratively and cooperatively with other organizations that provide services and access to housing we can move people into housing more quickly and efficiently.
Expanded Mental Health Services
We will aid in the expansion of mental health services to the "most difficult to serve" through collaboration with Capitol Recovery Center and their Certified Peer Counselor Outreach Program.
24-Hour Shelter Placement / 72-Hour Client Intakes In coordination with Sidewalk Advocacy Center we will provide shelter placement within 24 hours, and client intakes within 72 hours. This is a critical step toward housing for qualified individuals and will target gaps identified in the Coordinated Entry Point section of the Gaps Analysis.
24-Hour Public Restrooms
We will host a 24-hour public restroom. This will alleviate pressure on downtown businesses.
24-Hour Hotline
Through a 24-hour hotline, community outreach, and a partnership with The Downtown Ambassador Program, we will provide business owners an alternative to calling 911 when issues arise. This will greatly decrease pressure on the Olympia Police Department in responding to nuisance calls.

How well is Windows Phone 8 performing? Well enough that Nokia, the leading manufacturer of Microsoft's mobile operating system, sold 8.8 million Lumia brand devices despite losing money once again. Though the overall Nokia group ended the third quarter with a profit of EU 118 million (US $162.47 million), the Devices division reported a net loss of EU 86 million ($118.41 million). Nokia would have had a better performance this quarter, which explains why the company chose to sell the Device division to Microsoft.
Microsoft still has reasons to be pleased with the company it plans to assume control of next year. Though 8.8 million Lumias sold is well off from the tens of millions Apple or Samsung might sell in a quarter, it's still a massive upgrade from the 2.9 million Lumias sold during the same quarter last year. Nokia has made progress in increasing sales thanks to lower-cost models like the Lumia 521 and pushing its products heavily in emerging markets, something that Microsoft told us is key to its strategy to improve Windows Phone's position.
Once the Nokia sale is complete, Microsoft will obtain Nokia's engineering and design talent, have access to a wealth of patents and technical knowhow, and be able to continue using the Lumia brand. The company will also have more cash to meet the challenges that Nokia was unable to conquer as it sought to return to profitability.

WHAT IS TUTU APP?: It was basically a Chinese app with Chinese language but foreign user found it tough so after sometimes developer makes another version in the English language. Tutu application is the most famous app in the hacking world because with the help of this app you can hack everything. It comes in light when a famous gaming application Pokémon go hacked by the tutu app. The tag line of this app is the best iOS and android helper.
Versions Of Tutu App | What Are the difference between Tutu App and Tutu Helper?
Tutu app has two versions.
- Tutu helper regular
- VIP or premium
Tutu app supported PC android and IOS devices. People said it is a magical app. Generally, tutu app is used as the alternative app for the smart phone but it provides hacked version of popular games. Tutu app offers some robust features by a very simple procedure. There are so many apps but really tutu app is reliable and amazing.
The app can be installed on any device either it is android or iOS. Tutu app is very creative as it can run on windows also so you can go on your laptop or PC through this incredible app.
The various features of tutu app:
There are so many amazing features in tutu app that is really reliable in all the aspects. The most notable thing is that it is always free for both the program either it is android or iOS. The tutu app is able to run on both Jailbroken and without Jailbroken device.
There are few simple steps to install the tutu app perfectly. The tutu app is really great for all the games as you can search any game through this app. The procedure is really simple and safe.
Is Tutu Helper Safe?
The app is really safe and secure but there is a doubt always occurs in everybody's mind that is it safe for the device. There are so may reviews ad survey to crosscheck the safety and security of this app. I'm giving you the best example of a genuine website from which tut app certified true in their survey.
The MyWot.com says that the app is not risky and can be used without any issue. The website mentioned that it is not scam or fraudulent. It is truly safe for adult and children too as it has simple features but powerful.
The tutu app is legal also because the data on this can be seen by data on the web only that's why it can't be the fraud app. There are other reviews and surveys but after it, all certifications and trusted reviews we can't sure hundred percent because there are so many cases that crowd can be wrong.
Expert saw a lot of reviews to judge this app. They have found a good review in the majority but they said after so much research that sometimes crowd can become wrong as many cases happened before. So, it you should have a short research even after so many positive reviews about this.

I've been what I consider a "hair product tester" for a long time. I've never stuck with one specific shampoo/conditioner for more than a bottle. I just really enjoy trying new things. But now, I'm a changed woman.
I've been using the same products over and over in my shower! I have been re-purchasing products which is SO unlike me. So I'm here today to tell you exactly what's in my shower.
I trade off between...
UNITE Blonda Shampoo-read my raving review HERE
Pureology Hydrate Shampoo
My hair is so fragile and processed that I NEVER use regular conditioner. I deep condition every time! I switch off between these 3.
UNITE Luxury Intense Mask
UNITE Moisturizing Repair Treatment
Pureology HydraCure Intense Moisture Hair Masque
One of the perks of being a licensed cosmetologist is this huge thing of Olaplex I keep in my shower. I use generously every shower and my hair is looking and feeling amazing. You can buy the No. 3 even if you are a not a licensed stylist but No. 2 is reserved for stylists only. The good news is the No. 3 is the exact same ingredient as the No. 2 just a smaller percentage of the active ingredient. I promise you will see a difference in your hair even with the No. 3. And if you want the benefits of the No.1 & 2 let me know and we'll do a full Olaplex treatment on you!
They recommend 1X a week, but unlike protein treatments you can't overuse Olaplex. So I use it every time I shower, I mean, I flat iron my hair every other day, so why wouldn't I rebuild those disulfide bonds every other day??
As you can see I'm obsessed with UNITE, Pureology and Olaplex. Though they air on the pricier side of salon products, they are so worth it! Julianne Hough, Nina Dobrev and Selena Gomez all use UNITE which was reason enough for me to try the line, they all have amazing hair. I don't know how I lived without Olaplex. And Pureology is like a spa treatment in a bottle.
If you're going to try any of these products, PLEASE please please please PLEASE buy from a reputable source. Amazon is not a reputable place to buy salon quality products. Amazon salon products are likely old, watered down, or fake. Please email me firstname.lastname@example.com and I will help you find out the best place for you to buy based on your area. Everyone deserves happy, healthy hair!

Synthetic yeast could make beer cheaper and stronger

I wouldn't recommend anyone to drink beer with synthetic yeast in it. It's gotta be harmful to heath
Yeah, someone might come down with a synthetic yeast infection.
(Sorry, that joke was the yeast I could do...)
I've never thought of yeast as being one of your big ticket items. I often bake my own bread and I've never had any problems with the cost of the yeast. You learn something new everyday. btw, have any of you tried the new Miller 64 calorie beer? If so, was it good?
NC ~ Apparently the cost of it is the yeast of their problems.
"However, the scientists insist that they are able to design in fail-safes that will prevent anything from surviving in the wild...."
What could possibly go worng?
I'm thinking SyFy picture-of-the-week here.
Alcohol is basically yeast pee.
Oh, no! It's Yeastnado! The Andromeda Strain! Saccharomyces ohmygod!

I am now sitting in the press room -- just me and Ann Kornbluth. Everybody else ran downstairs to get the spin and do the gaggle, and I just heard Joe's voice in the stairwell -- sneaking away again. After that performance, I'm not surprised he doesn't want to talk to anyone. No Joe supporters here -- after a good showing for Ned outside the front door. Joe also snuck into the hotel -- Ned came into the front door with supporters cheering. UPDATE: Captured nicely by the lead story on NBC30 -- a debate sponsor.
Joe ran out of time -- the rules were such that each candidate had 17 minutes of discussion time, period, and then a closing statement. Joe was done at 1:49, but wouldn't stop talking -- as usual, I suppose the rules don't apply to him. Best line over at FDL -- Joe continuing to talk is the debate equivalent of parking in a handicapped spot.
Joe just came down the stairs with Spazeboy in hot pursuit. Let's hope Spaze nails him. We're doing our best here. UPDATE: Yes, Spazeboy got him -- after one of Joe's goons nearly slammed him against the wall --
Having watched it on closed circuit here in the press room, I think Alan helped himself the most. He was a little over the top, but if you're a Republican, I think Alan gave you a lot to think about. He shot from the hip, and did a great job nailing Joe on his false Republican credentials. Ned didn't take any chances -- there was no need to. Ned is what he is -- an honest, ethical guy who wants to help make a difference in the world. He's not going to change that between now and November 7 or November 7, 2010.
And Joe is Joe. Had trouble dodging and weaving with Alan on his right and Ned on his left -- literally, on the stage. Initially, we thought he got the good seat being in the middle, but no -- he had no where to look or hide. (see next post)

With US President Barack Obama set to jet into Jakarta in only a month's time, frantic preparations are being made to prepare a suitable "watering hole' for the beer loving "Barry".
As the most powerful man in the world, we might have expected the authorities to arrange for Barry to have his drinking sessions at a really classy bar. Shangri La's BATS comes to mind. Or perhaps the very sophisticated Buddha Bar in Cikini.
But no. Barry's having none of it, and as an avowed "man of the people" he has made clear his desire to drink with the "common man" (or woman obviously), and in far less salubrious surroundings.
Three different places in Jakarta were initially shortlisted: Blok M, Chinatown and the legendary Jalan Jaksa in central Jakarta.
But with Blok M rejected on fears that Obama might be mown down by an Al Quida hijacked Metromini bus leaving the nearby bus station and Chinatown given the thumbs down because of concerns that the US President might want to "loosen up" a bit at one of the nearby massage parlors, the decision pretty much made itself.
And so Jalan Jaksa it is.
But how are the preparations proceeding?
Well not too great really. Here's the bar as it currently stands:
Oops, sorry! Just kidding! That's the building in front of the Obama Bar and yes – it does look a bit like London after the Blitz, but, hey, this is Jalan Jaksa right?
So here's the real pic of Obama Bar:
Nope, it's not exactly in the greatest shape either but there's still time to get the place sorted.
But what sort of a bar will it be? Well, a closer look at the banner probably gives a pretty good indication I reckon:
Yep it's gonna be the sort of place where the likes of England football star John Terry and golfing legend Tiger Woods would feel very much at home. Barry should like it too and I can imagine there are quite a few young ladies simply quivering in their imitation Jakarta shoes at the prospect of rubbing shoulders with "our" Barry.
So what's it gonna be Barry? Bintang or Anker? Cheers!!!
Barry sinks another pint in a training session for his Jakarta visit
Obama Bar, Jalan Jaksa no. 49, Central Jakarta, Indonesia
NB: According to the Jakarta Globe, the Obama Bar is going to be styled as a sports bar: the interior will be decorated with pictures of soccer players, and patrons will be offered a variety of Indonesian, Western and African food.
Sounds great to me!!

Suzy's Four Months Old
Believe it or not it's been four months since my angel was born! She's getting so big (but I won't know exactly how much for a couple more weeks when she gets weighed in at her well check up) but I'm guess 12 or 13 lbs now! Doubling her birthweight! She has discovered her voice and loves to "talk". This is adorable all except during church classes ;) She puts everything in her mouth which means as soon as she's mobile the kids will have to keep their toys in their rooms because they have hundreds of little toys now days. She's starting to giggle, but right now it takes a lot of work to get her going, and she mostly only does it for her daddy... he's always been the playmate for each kid! She's a very easy baby... she loves spending time with her Gpa Gary ever night, she loves being talked to (especially by her big sister and brother), she has a huge grin (which I was hoping to capture in the photo but she thought it was too bright, so I was lucky just to get one with her eyes open), and she sleeps through the night which makes for a happy mother!

Pioneer Day
I'm so proud of my little ones! For Pioneer Day (actually celebrated on Saturday the 23rd in Toquerville) the kids woke up bright and earlier to get dressed in their "pioneer" clothes and made it to the parade line up at 7:30am. Our primary "float" won first place, it was awesome! Then the kids sang pioneer songs at the park program. I had to be at work but I'm grateful that my hubby got them to these events and took pictures for me. I love these type of traditions!

Liv Turns 7!
I can't believe my little girl is seven, but it is so. I asked her what she wanted for her birthday party theme and she chose her favorite thing to do... Dance! So that's what we did! We had the girls dress up in tutus so they came ready to get their groove on. We played Simon Says while we waited for everyone to arrive. Simon mostly told them to do dance related moves. Then Liv blew out her seven candles and we ate cake & ice cream... sugaring up the kiddos so they'd be ready to burn some energy on the dance floor! Then we danced, played musical, did the hokey pokey, and so on. I loved hearing the girls giggle and getting those shy ones to shake it a little! The girls got to dress like stars and do a photo shoot which I will then send back to them in a thank you card! Last was unwrapping presents. I love when the kids get excited to GIVE the presents, they are so sweet! It was a super awesome party! It especially makes me happy when Liv says, "It was the BEST party EVER!"

Independence Day
I know, I'm a week behind, but oh well! Here's what we did on independence day...
I'm a mean mom, I haven't taken my kids to see an areal firework show until now. I grew up going to firework shows and they
just got boring. May seem hard to believe but they did. So I didn't have much ambition to want to keep my kids up late and deal with grumpy attitudes the next day for fireworks on independence day or
pioneer day. BUT while we were in Salt Lake last time the West Fest was going on in West Valley. Well, you can see those fireworks from my dad's deck. Since Liv hadn't gone to sleep yet anyways I took her out
back so she could see what was making all the noise. Well, she was in Awe! It was in that moment that I realized that I had been depriving my kiddos of a great tradition. So I was set in taking them to a firework show this year & it was totally worth keeping them up late for! Lying next to Liv and listening to her "oo" and "ah" over all the "sparkles" was priceless! I love experiencing
joy through my kids, and rediscovering the magic in things! Plus, I have found a new challenge... getting a great shot of areal fireworks! I love taking pictures of fireworks but I wasn't very good at taking areal pictures (although the first firework shot I like cause it reminds me of dandelion fluff!) So now I'm challenged and fireworks have lost their boringness!

Sand Hollow Camping
Friday we decided to go camping at Sand Hollow as a last "Hurrah" before Taber and Koda headed to Colorado. I was very anxious about taking Suzy out in such a heat (104 average this weekend) but
it needed to be attempted. It was rough on her, but she held up pretty well. Then slept and slept when we got home. The older kids, Liv, Gary, & their cousin Koda, had a BLAST! The played in the water
nonstop! I helped Liv make a sand castle with much success! The boys enjoyed sword fighting... they'll sword fight with anything! Todd and I had a good time skiing, it's been a year since I've been able to ski
(pregnancy, you know...) and boy could I tell it'd been so long! I was a wuss and ended up sore. So here's to more trips to the lake, asap! Thanks Gary and Karlene for sharing your toys and creating fun

Hi again, fellow bloggers! Today I'm looking at gangs in the US, from an article in the book for our class. It says a lot about the criminal gangs from the 1960s and what has changed today, however I'm more into the historical development of gangs. For this you use the Wikipedia.
There have practically been gangs in the US since the immigration started. This is because of the ethnic and cultural differences, caused by having immigrants from more than one nation. Initially, there were Irish, English, Scottish and German gangs. They were fighting with each others to control districts in the cities, which can be seen in the film Gangs of New York (Great film, by the way). The development from here has mostly involved new immigrants making new gangs for people of their nationality. The gangs probably had much influence on politics, giving hard and soft money to politicians that supported them.
The gangs mostly remained like this until the 1920s - the roaring twenties. During this period selling alcohol was prohibited, which caused organized smuggling, illegal production and bars. These were owned by gangs, although the term "mafia" may be more appropriate now. The mafia largely consisted of Italian and Russian families. Even after the Prohibition was removed, the mafia didn't disappear.
Along with the Civil Rights Movement, African-American gangs developed. Civil rights and organized crime stood quite close, an example of this is the Black Panther Party, which promoted violence and crime along with rights for black people.
Not much has happened since that time; there is an increase in Asian and South-American gangs and there are a few larger gangs that spread across multiple states and/or are not limited to one culture. There is also a separate system of prison gangs, these are largely based on ethnicity. You can see lists of American gangs here.
An interesting thing, is the gang tattoo-aspect. Most gangs have their own tattoo and it was common to tattoo a teardrop for every person you had killed. The picture is related to this, especially Asian and Hispanic gangs are famous for their tattoos. I would really like to make an update on this, but I don't think I will have to opportunity to - I guess this should have been the topic for my senior project.

Interesting angle you chose for this assignment. I agree, it would have mad a very good senior project! Still, thank you for the insight into this part of gang related activity. Especially the facts about the tattoos was interesting for me!

Russian gangs are also infamous for their tattoos, apparently they tattoo their "criminal history" on their bodies during jail stints.
I have seen a book about the subject, not sure what it´s title was, though. David Cronenbergs film Eastern promises has a few russian criminal tattoos in it, great (and dark) film.

text: All the cases which are pending will progress to the next stage under the law. If you are asking from the perspective of guy then it augurs well for him that he has got protection from HC on being denied by the Sessions court. He should now represent his divorce case and contest the cases filed by his wife with all due diligence required from a litigant. The result may well be in his favour.

I loved the show Wonder Woman…I wanted to be Wonder Woman every Halloween till I was twelve. She was the coolest, she was a female action hero and she had the coolest house. I would watch her show every week and I knew the theme song off by heart. So when I found out that MAC cosmetics was launching a Wonder Woman inspired line of cosmetics, I had to take a look.
It is so cool…coloured mascara, beautiful lipgloss, bright, dynamic eyeshadow shades. There are three colours of mascara – purple, green and blue. I have bought the purple so far and I love it. It is bright, it coats your lashes really nicely, it makes your lashes look long and full and it brightens your eyes.
The box has Wonder Woman on it, and the tube has Wonder Woman written on it with the logo underneath, it's blue with a red top. I love coloured mascara, it makes life easy or sexy.
So the next time you're in MAC take a look at Wonder Woman, you'll love it.

An unheard power pop gem - until now! Fans of Paul Collins' Beat and The Plimsouls, this is for you as there are lots of similarities throughout! This little-known garage power pop band from New Haven, CT existed from 1980 to 1981. The songs and music presented here reflect the energy, spirit and overall sound of a lot of American bands at the time, and provide another entry into the long list of garage pop bands that existed during this period! It all began with vocalist/bassist Doug Riccio (a.k.a. "Doug Derek") (who's got a little Peter Case in him) and vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Michael Brochin, who reunited with two additional former band mates in drummer Rich D'Albis and guitarist Bob Cedro to form the initial lineup. Accurately self-described as "pop with a lot of balls", they were able to create more than 30 original songs together during that short, yet very productive period. All previously unreleased until now, ultra-catchy songs such as "Bobby's Gotta Get Back To Boston," (could've been a college radio hit in the day), "I Don't Really Like It Here" (both presented here in two versions), "I Need Your Love (Let Me Take You Into The Night)" and the anthemic "Airwaves" (a tale about a fictional band making it to the top of the charts with an unusually dark, ironic twist at the end) reflect the obvious Power Pop influences of Brochin and a darker, more mysterious side in Riccio that culminated in a songwriting duo that could be considered to be a somewhat unusual pairing of minds for the time. Kool Kat is pleased to present debut album that never was - finally released 27 years after the songs were originally recorded -CD Baby

Importing groups of 3D models into Maya can be complicated if you do not know how to ungroup sets of objects. When complex scenes and multiple meshes are packaged in one file they are often lumped into one large object. This is troublesome when you wish to alter different objects in one scene, as you end up selecting the entire scene instead of just one object. In Maya, objects can be ungrouped with a few short commands.
Hover your cursor over your grouped objects. Hold down the "Right Mouse Button" and select "Object Mode" from the pop up menu. Green lines will appear over the meshes, indicating you are now in "Object Mode."
Click on the "Edit" menu and scroll down. Locate the "Ungroup" option and click it. Most of your objects will now have a white outline, while one object will retain a green outline. Your objects are now ungrouped.
Separate your ungrouped objects with the "Move" tool. Select unwanted objects and hit "Delete" on your keyboard to remove them from the scene. If you wish to group objects back together, repeat Step 1 and click on the "Group" option instead of "Ungroup" in the Edit menu.
Save a copy of your grouped 3D scene just in case you make a mistake ungrouping your objects.

Cutting pollution is a moral responsibility
UPDATE, 5/12: The Arizona House of Reps today passed HB2017. Time for the Gov to get out her big red VETO stamp.
TUCSON -- Recently we've been breathing some pretty bad air.
In my daily view from the downtown area, the Rincon Mountains/Saguaro National Park and Santa Rita Mountains at times have been barely visible through the pollution haze, and you can smell the pollution in the air all over town.
The million-plus Tucson area has suffered many days recently of high ground-level ozone pollution, which is harmful to our health -- especially children and older folks -- and hurts our economy due to higher health care costs and lost productivity. Watch a time-lapse map of the formation of harmful air pollution in eastern Pima County on Monday, April 21.
As Tucson's air pollution continues to worsen, due in large part to urban sprawl, lack of good public transit, and dominant 'one person, one car' driving habits, Tim Bee and too many in the Legislature unethically fight even modest efforts to cut pollution. Dirty utility corporations such as APS and Unisource Energy's Tucson Electric Power have been busy shamefully lobbying against pollution limits.
We all need clean air. No one can breathe money. Governor Napolitano should hold firm and keep Arizona in the Western Climate Initiative by vetoing HB2017 if it passes the House.
When I'm in the State House, I will help build a majority to support public health and clean air, and fight against the greedy pollution lobbyists who threaten our future.
In the face of such corruption at the capitol in Phoenix, there is a solution. Please drive less, and walk or bike more to help our quality of life and health. With fuel at record prices, driving less will also help you save a lot of money, and reduce global warming and related harmful climate change.
As a daily cyclist, ecologist and father of a young child, I think about and try to minimize my air pollution, and so should you.
I love Tucson, but if you want clean air don't move here, and metro Phoenix is even worse.

Pima air pollution problem calls for no on HB2017
3 comments:
Actually, HB2017 has not had a final vote, so the Governor could not veto it even if she wanted to, thpugh I suspect that she will should it reach her desk. It will probably be heard some time next week.
- Fri Apr 25, 06:58:00 AM
Urban sprawl, huh? So if all your "illegal" immigrants leave because of enforcement of the 'employer sanction law', you will also benefit from less pollution, ergo better air. Interesting.....I hadn't thought of that benefit; the list continues to grow. Thank you Rep. Pierce and other good conservatives!

Tom is right, and I edited the post to make this more clear. I hope the House can find enough votes to defeat it.

For the past couple days the painters were here sanding and priming the walls in the Family Room, Stairway area, and Entryway to make the walls smoother. What a mess, but we put up plastic in the living room doorway and the kitchen doorway to cut down on the dust which was really bad last time they sanded the living room and dining room. The walls in these areas were painted a light 'gardenia' green. Almost white but with a light green tint. It was ok, but the walls were a bit uneven in places so we decided to paint the rooms Nippon 145 White in Spotless. We had used a cheaper non-washable paint Nippon paint in the living room and dining room and it just isn't performing as well as our Home office or Kitchen which are Spotless White. So we decided to use the better paint especially for the stairs walls which gets dirty faster. Here in Malaysia the Geckos create a dropping that gets on the walls and it needs to be washed off. No matter how hard you try to make your place gecko-free, they manage to get in anyway and there is always some of the brown hard droppings around the windows and floors. This sounds gross and it is, but after being here for awhile, it is just part of living in Malaysia that you have to deal with. Well, having washable paint on the walls does help cleaning it.
The photo above is while the painters are painting the sealer on the walls before the coats of paint.

Michael John Neill's genealogy website. Things that cross my path, general research suggestions, and whatever else ...with a little bit of attitude. I don't post "news" just to post it, never post a press release (edited or otherwise), don't feign excitement, and pretty much say what I think.

Is There a Two-Day Error?
The death certificate lists her as being 94 years, 9 months, and 18 days old--with a date of birth of 18 May 1848.
When her birth date and death date are entered into Wolfram Alpha, a two-day discrepancy seems to be apparent between the age on the death certificate and the age per Wolfram Alpha.
I'm about 95% certain I know why the discrepancy exists. I'm curious if readers do.

Thank you all for your comments on the last blog. However, is there a reason 'followers' have not increased from 20 people?? #thinking
I came across this article by Thomas J. Barrack Jr, the CEO of Colony Capital, and not one to generally gravitate toward or intentionally read anything financial, I was so entranced reading this article from the first sentence! He wrote on 'Harness Your Amygdala'…and yes, I had to Google that 'horrid'-sounding word! And thanks to Barrack, I have two distinct, and totally different blogs; the other is on fear (I now have 3 blogs on 'Fear' sitting in my drafts. Na wa oh. Fear fear fear!!!)
Let's go there….
Barrack asks, in the midst of the emotions being fed into our system, in the confusion (as I call it)going on in and around us, 'are you listening to the noise or to your gut?' It goes without saying, that we are indeed in the age of technology; the world has shrunk so drastically it is no longer so amazing how I can see someone's front door or flowerbed all the way in Australia, thanks to Google Earth! That we are bombarded by the noise called information, everywhere we turn...internet: social media, print media...all sorts, emanating, 24/7 is an understatement; you hardly have time to pause, assimilate, reflect before making a decision! It is all so exhausting and terrifying. How do you cope?
Gone are the days when we have to make a deliberate effort to go look for information, now it is with us, before our faces, we carry them in our hands, in fact, we are it! How do you get away from the 'heat' of it all? How do you exist outside the incredible maze of data upon data, all on the click of one tiny button, data that transports and transforms you from the place where you exists almost normally as 'you' into that place where most almost never return from. It takes discipline and a conscious effort to Just. Stop. How are you not swayed by the myriads of stuff fighting for first place in your brain? Into where do we reach to find the strength, the discipline to resist the lure, the attraction offered by incredible world of cyberspace?…by listening to your gut, because in the final analysis, all that surround you is just noise. Like I would say, Indian film trick!
How attached are you to the screaming noise? What is it you need to desperately decide on? Granted, information is very key to whatever project we are embarking on, however, how what bombards you affect your sense of judgement depends entirely on you. It is so easy to Google everything; as in everything including ailments and diseases, just researching (you know how the world has greatly 'improved' in the area of 'new' diseases! Illnesses we thought were meant for a certain age now strikes across all ages). People, so obsessed with wanting to know, and it being so easy to access; is it any wonder that illnesses actually take a turn for the worse because people panicked when they read about that person on the opposite side of the world who did or didn't do this or that early enough...throws your sense of objectivity out of whack, introducing fear. Gbam. Blood pressure shoots up...and complication sets in. Barrack was so right when he said 'we believe a butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can be the cause of a tsunami in Thailand!' So, granted, it is okay to gather info and data, God forbid that we be un-armed with the necessary 'tool' needed for whatever next steps we ought to take but there is something greater and bigger than the data you have amassed.
Me thinks it is important to be able to shut off and shut out the hullaballoo, the buzz, the attractive lure of the music of The Noise and retreat into place where your gut is the only voice you hear. For those of us who live in this great Naija; I always used to imagine that I could absolutely hear a small still voice while standing the middle of what was the (then) crazy, confused sea of humans and buses called Oshodi! …biko, what are you listening to? Noise? Gut? Ha, be free fa.
I look forward to having you readers complete this blog, there is so much that can said of this topic...I have only blogged from one tiny side...go for it.
Be (absolutely) free oh!
Part 2 of the post, inspired by Barrack coming up….next

Managing the sugar in your diet is an important aspect of health and weight management.

Guide to Carb Cycling for Fat Loss
Carbohydrates are part of a balanced diet, but they can affect your weight and health negatively. When they are consumed, carbohydrates are converted into glucose which is released into the blood stream. Insulin is then released to remove the glucose, but some say the problem is that it is then stored as fat. That is why many say that insulin contributes to obesity. While that is not entirely true, trying to lose fat becomes difficult with high carbs intake. Continue reading
How Exercises Accelerate Weight Loss
If you want to lose some weight, you will have to start exercising and work on changing your diet. Exercises are of particular importance, and we are often urged to incorporate them into our daily routine. Neglecting exercises can be easy, but just like you will pay dearly if you forget a regular roof inspection or car maintenance, equally you will have to dig dipper when you fail to work out regularly. Why are exercises important when it comes to weight loss then? Continue reading

How to Determine Your Body's Daily Calorie Needs
You need calories to sustain your daily activities. Calories provide energy for your body to use throughout the day. Intake of calories play a central role in gaining, losing and maintaining weight. That is why nutrition experts recommended a particular daily calorie intake. The recommended daily intakes, however, varies depending on one's age, gender, weight, height, activity level and body mass. Knowing how to determine your daily calorie needs will help you design a nutrition and exercise plan to realize your health goals. Continue reading

This soda pop bottle is in the Cycle Celebration set. Isn't it cute?!? I put crystal effects on the "pop" which may be hard to see in the picture. The colors are Strawberry Slush and Coastal Cabana...two new in-colors. The die from the label is from Chalk Talk Framelits. The sketch is from Just Add Ink #175.

Target to complete ALL before Jan 1, 2010 cos I got a pretty long wish list... try really hard not to start another project before finishing ALL these...
Lanarte Kit ... Its my first Embelished Cross Stitch... and also my first project stitch using a tapestry frame. The kit comes with zweigart aida fabric with silk screen background... its really nice.
Everyone LOVE "Lickle Bear". The kit comes with a 16ct Aida Fabric and I completed it in Dec 2008 and gave it to my Hubby as a Christmas gift exchange present.
Now I am working on this design the second time using 11ct Aida. I wanted it to be bigger and plan to frame it for my girls room.
DIMEMSION GOLD - GEISHA... Beautiful design. Love it... the color is turning out really nice... so why cant i finish this le... This is my first 18ct Aida.
One of my recent project and my first target to complete from my WIP list. Only the clouds are missing... I even finish all the back-stitch.
"100 shou" ... 100 blessing for my grandma... turning 90 this Oct. Really need to complete it & frame it nicely ASAP.

2012 was REMEMBER -- and I did. I took more photos, wrote in my journal more, worked on Project Life until I really couldn't handle it and just needed to sleep, and really worked on documenting life, not just big events or occasions.
2013 is the year of ENJOY -- with all the big changes that will be happening in my life, I want to remember to enjoy it all. This time is fleeting, and while it can be overwhelming, I want to focus on taking it all in and really appreciating the small moments. Also, what could be better in labor than a mantra of "enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!", right? Right.
So yesterday I put together my title page of my OLW album (you will note that it is in 2012 style -- I decided just to use the prompts from 2012 which I already paid for but didn't really use rather than pony up cash for 2013 and have 2012 go to waste. I'll catch up in 2014, I'm sure. Hah.) Of course, there will not be a OLW 2013 album, as everything will just get put in one or two WRMK faux leather albums for 2013, because I am not really into having lots of different albums for different projects.
|Aqua : The color of 2013
I typed on the cards instead of writing by hand, just to try something different. I'm not loving it, but done is done and I'm for real not re-doing them. Experimentation is good. Next time: I'll write by hand. It just fits my style better.
Tomorrow holds assembling week one of PL, and a giant order of prints from Snapfish should be here Tuesday to get Baby Squid's Project Life Baby Book going. I'll keep busy this week. Plus I need to clean my scrap space. It's been moved to the FROG (that's South Carolinian for Finished Room Over Garage), has lost some surface area, and gets a little chaotic. Nothing 20 minutes can't solve, though.
Hope you all have nice crafty weekends!

And...here we go!
1. I was dying to cut my hair today.
2. Hurriedly, I flag a taxi and I left my book inside.
3. Why is it so humid then a few minutes, rain comes?
4. My husband who'll drive his sister to Supreme Court for roll signing was in my thoughts today.
5. One of my father's favorite sayings was you decided for it, so stick to your decision.
6. Irritable when it's hot --I know that feeling!
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to a salon date with my colleague, tomorrow my plans include going to Ann Arbor to reserve a slot for Joshua for Junior Casa and Sunday, I want to watch Iron Man 2!

It's been a hectic few days in the bakery. It sounds so funny to call it a bakery, let's be serious....it's my kitchen! It IS still the hub of the business, so I'll make the kitchen feel good about itself and call it 'The Bakery'.
I so enjoyed writing the last post (if you haven't read it, simply go to the 'waxing poetic' post) that I feel as though my project update is just a bit superficial!
I'm gearing up for a tremendously busy 'pre-Valentine' week. In addition to fulfilling my regular orders, I've also agreed to help out our Newman Catholic Center on campus by baking the goods for their Valentine fundraiser. They're a great group of kids and are raising money for their spring break Habitat for Humanity trip. I'm thrilled to be able to help them out. I figure late night baking gives me an opportunity to watch all kinds of movies and DVRd shows! Let's just hope no one accidentally gets a True Blood cake or an Everybody Loves Raymond cookie bouquet!
Here are just a few of the projects from last week! Enjoy!
I love being part of first birthday parties! Corben turned 1 this week and had a baseball-themed birthday party. The large cake is a vanilla sheet cake covered with royal blue buttercream. The three-dimensional baseball and bat are both carved out of triple chocolate cake filled with chocolate buttercream. The texture on the bat and ball are created using the star tip which is what Corben's mom had requested. The smaller cake is Corben's very own baseball 'smash' cake to do with as he pleased!
A dear friend and one of the classiest ladies I know ordered up a brand new flavor for her son's birthday. He is a fan of coconut cream pie so the Zach Attack coconut cream cupcake was born! This is a vanilla cake filled with coconut cream, topped with vanilla buttercream and zested with sweetened coconut shavings.
Undoubtedly one of the sweetest Kindergarteners in Maryville turned six this week and wanted all things Star Wars! I gleefully delivered a Star Wars cookie bouquet to him at lunch time and a load of Zen Zebra cupcakes (not pictured) and a Star Wars cake to his home later that evening! The cake was a layer of vanilla cake filled with chocolate buttercream and topped with another layer of triple chocolate cake. The entire cake was frosted in buttercream with hand cut and painted fondant accents.
Last but not least, Da Sheeb. Where to begin with this extremely special cupcake. Sometimes, as a teacher, you have the opportunity to meet those kids with whom you just 'click'. I am lucky to have lots of those kiddos, but I have two from the graduating class of 2009 that are especially dear to me. They are my two 20 year old 'sons', Zach and Joe. These two young men mean as much to me as my own son and I think the world of both of them, which also includes giving them a swift kick in the fanny every now and then, and telling them exactly how I feel regarding most topics! When I started the business, both Joe and Zach were insistent that they have cupcakes named after them. My policy was, "you name it and tell me how to make it and I'll do it!" Zach, the significantly squeakier wheel of the two proclaimed his cupcake and named it Da Sheeb (his nickname is Sheeb). So, Da Sheeb has been born and is making its way to Sheeb's fraternity house as we speak! I must say, for a future veterinarian, he has excellent culinary taste! He chose a chocolate cupcake with cookie dough on the inside. I modified his request just a bit and made a chocolate butter cupcake filled with fresh chocolate chip cookie dough and baked to the peak of gooiness! It's topped with chocolate buttercream and a fresh-from-the-oven miniature chocolate chip cookie! Sheebie....good choice!
Good Eats,

I agree with Bombshell Beauty. I love this blog, too. I LOVED the baseball cake...how did you make the baseball so round??? I remember trying to make a 3-dimentional football cake many years ago. By the time I got done trying to make it look like a football it was about the size of a tennis ball...you really did not get your skills from your mother!!!!Many times I had ideas, but could never carry them out.ReplyDelete
Another brilliant job, Jill!! I am so proud!

Following Your Steps
It is always fascinating to me when the student becomes the teacher. I have never been able to swim to save my own hide. Watching you take swimming lessons the last few years was a constant reminder that one day you would be in the water and I would do well to learn if I am to be able to carry out my fatherly duties and keep you safe. I kept saying that I was going to take lessons to learn. Then something happened. I kept watching you practice. I kept reminding you of the things your teachers wanted you to remember. Then yesterday I decided to see how hard it was to do the "few things you have to remember" and guess what... I swam. For the first time in my life I actually swam across the pool without the need of a lifeguard coming to my rescue. It was fun taking turns doing laps with you. I am now thanks to you better prepared to be a father to you. It was awesome and I look forward to more experiences like that.

Daughters of President-Elect Barack Obama have become the new "It" factor for young girls across the nation in the fashion game. Parents of any young girl are racing to get anything slightly resembling fashions worn by the girls to many of the high society events. Gerson & Gerson, the makers of Sasha's black velvet dress on election night, informed the New York Post that they've sold hundreds since then. The once "crystal pleat social dress" is now labeled the "Sasha" after the 7-year-old fashion icon. She even gave Bloomingdale's a economic boost with her first day of school hoodie, which is now sold out. Even Kelly Ripa's daughter wants to dress like the fashionable duo as she stated earlier this week. Their style is very simple, yet very appreciated and I'm glad that they're getting such raves. Good Job Girls!!!

A few months ago, after I posted something about infertility on Facebook, a friend came to me because she wanted to know how to support family members who had just found out that they would not be able to conceive children. The fact that she reached out to me to ask this question shows how naturally strong her instincts were on this, but we talked for quite some time, and ever since then, I have been meaning to write a post about this.
The holidays can be a very tough time of year for people grieving the loss of their fertility. A year ago, the front page of our local news magazine looked like this:
It's hard to go anywhere at this time of year and not be overwhelmed by images of happy families preparing for the holidays, and Facebook is loaded with posts about children. And then there are the family gatherings where if there isn't a new baby to coo over, there are other children who take centre stage (as they should – I don't want to take that away from any children, and I, too, love to coo over babies).
I tell people to skip Christmas their first year of grieving and go to Mexico, but most of us struggle to be that selfish at this time of year, so we suck it up and do the best we can (but if anyone wants to send us to Mexico…) This doesn't mean that we can't enjoy the holidays, it just means that it is perfectly valid for us to lower our expectations of how much we will enjoy the holidays. It is very likely there will be some tough moments mixed in with all the fun and celebration. Christmas time is almost as hard as Mother's Day for us infertiles.
So, all that being said, this seems like a good time to talk about how to support someone going through this. Of course, my experience is not universal, and everyone responds differently to this journey, but there are a few things that seem true for many of us.
A couple of years ago, I touched on things not to say in this post, and I'm pleased to say that I enjoyed lots of chocolate and wine in response (it was not my goal, but it was a nice benefit).
Let's start with how to respond to the news. Because we've moved to a new town and have started making new friends here, I have found that there is this weird kind of uncertainty zone where the topic of us not being able to have kids hasn't come up, but I know it will, and I'm not sure how they will respond. When it finally does come out, the best response is a simple: "I'm sorry." Express sympathy as you would if the person has just told you a loved one has died.
In fact, this is a good rule to always follow – if you wouldn't say it to someone who has lost a loved one or who has been diagnosed with a serious illness, then don't say it to someone experiencing the grief of infertility. Someone recently responded to our situation with the phrase, "well, everything happens for a reason", and although I know that person truly meant well and is a kind loving person, this is a comforting phrase for the person saying it, not the person hearing it. I do not believe that my infertility happened for a reason. I believe it is an absolutely shitty situation that I have to live with, and trying to make me feel better about it sounds like you are trying to minimize my grief.
If you are open to letting that person talk about their grief, that is wonderful. You can follow your sympathy with an open-ended question like, "how are you handling that?" Avoid giving advice or telling stories about other people you know who struggled and ultimately succeeded or who are super happy with their decision to adopt. This is the time to listen and get to know this person's experience. It's an amazing opportunity to get to know the person better and to show you care, just by listening.
The next step is to understand that people going through this journey may need to avoid certain trigger situations. Last year, I had to say no to a family gathering because I just didn't have the energy to deal with more than two kids at a time. I have sent my regrets to children's birthday parties and baby showers, not because I don't want to be there showing love for my friends and their beautiful kids, but because I don't want to be the one holding back tears in the corner. It is important to extend invitations so that the person doesn't feel excluded, just be open to understanding if they need to decline.
Don't be surprised if a couple coming to terms with infertility suddenly feels a need to make some major life changes. When the infertility journey becomes final, and the couple is no longer trying to conceive by any means, a kind of identity crisis settles in. Most of us spent much of our adult lives setting up so that we could welcome children. We bought a house that we could expand in, with a room that we pictured as a nursery. We borrowed a friend's car seat when we were test driving new cars so we could pick a good family vehicle. When it became clear that that room was never going to be a nursery, walking by it every day just reminded us of our loss. We still struggle with the car situation, and if someone wants to trade their fun car for a family vehicle… let's talk.
Many couples choose to move. I have even heard of couples selling their houses and going traveling for months or years. When we find we are permanently excluded from the parents' club, there is a desire to find a way to at least try and enjoy the "freedom" that comes from being childfree. This does not mean that the couple is OK with their inability to conceive. It means they are trying their best to move on. Believe me, the grief travels with them. Some people will want to share about this grief more than others, and that is OK, too.
Part of this move may be about searching for a community of people where we don't feel like outsiders. Do you know how hard it is to find people to hang out with when all your friends and peers have children and you don't? A couple of weeks ago, I was excited to go to a party with new people, and somehow, I hadn't put together that since it was starting at 5 p.m., and the people were in our age bracket, that there would be as many children as adults there. I felt a bit blindsided, and it was no one's fault. They had no way of knowing that this could be a difficult situation for me, and really, I was grateful for the invitation.
You may think you know what your loved ones need to do to move on in this situation. You may think that if they would just adopt, they would be able to give that love to a child in need, and it would be wonderful for everyone. You might even be right, but it is not your place to say. Adoption is not a substitute for fertility. Adoption is a wonderful option for every person who has the ability and space in their life to love a child in need, and it is not reserved for the infertile. So, before you ask the question, "Why don't you adopt?" make sure you can answer that question yourself (and even then, really, just don't ask it).
Your friend or family member may choose to pursue adoption, and that is wonderful. The pain of their infertility will not suddenly disappear. We will always feel the loss of the experience of conceiving a child and giving birth to that unique combination of our genes. We will never get to bond with a child in utero and experience every aspect of the miracle of pregnancy. We will never get to see whether our kids get John's blue eyes or my curly hair.
Many couples will choose to live childfree rather than pursue adoption because they have considered deeply what adoption would mean for them and they recognize that it is not what they want to do. This is a perfectly valid choice and a difficult one to make and share. There is the fear of judgment from people who do not understand that adoption is not like going to the kennel and rescuing an animal instead of going directly to a breeder. Pursuing adoption means putting your life through a scrutiny that no other parents have to endure. Anyone can get fertility treatments without having to explain their parenting philosophy, take training, or have their house examined, and the decisions you have to make when applying to adopt can be absolutely heartbreaking.
One of the trickier situations to deal with is over how to tell your infertile loved one your own wonderful news of pregnancy. How we like to receive this news varies widely from person to person, with some preferring a more personal phone call, and some preferring an email so they have time to prepare a response. Intent is the key – if you tell us with compassion in mind, we will feel it. We will be happy for you, so please do not try to diminish your own happiness because then we will feel guilty on top of sad.
The feeling of being an outsider is a huge aspect of this journey, so making an extra effort to spend time with your grieving loved one is perhaps the most important thing you can do. Plan activities both with and without your children and be willing to do something different in order to support your friend or family member. We are so often expected to be the flexible ones because we don't have children's schedules to fit our activities around, that if you can make an effort to join us, it will be a great gift.
Finally, recognize that this experience may change your loved one in ways you can't predict or understand. Be willing to get to know this new person without judgment. Grief is extremely powerful, and studies show that depression rates in women dealing with infertility are similar to depression rates in women after a cancer diagnosis – here is an article that discusses this. Since I have never had cancer, I cannot comment on how that would affect me, and I certainly don't want to compare my situation to someone who is dealing with cancer. All I can tell you is that the grief of infertility hit me much harder than I ever would have expected. When we first started trying to conceive, we genuinely thought we would be OK if it didn't happen, that we could just adopt. I had no idea how much coming to terms with the loss of my ability to reproduce would have me questioning my identity and what I should do with my life. I have long considered myself to be an optimistic positive person, able to find the humour in any situation, but the grief brought on by infertility took me to a darker place than I ever thought I could go.
One of the best things a support person can do is recognize the pain of this situation and encourage the person to get help. Support groups are an amazing place to meet people who truly understand the experience, and although it can be hard to find a counsellor who specializes in this type of grief, they are out there. Antidepressants can be extremely helpful, but many people are afraid to pursue this route out of fear of the stigma of mental illness. Sometimes, all a person in this situation needs is someone to say it's OK to need some help and a gentle push in that direction.
We are extremely fortunate and grateful for the support we have received from family and friends, and I share this post in hopes of helping other people get this kind of care. With that support (and some medication), I ammuch better equipped to deal with the holidays this year. I know that it will not be easy, and I know I will meet people who do not understand, but having the support of people who do and people who try makes all the difference.
Thank-you for caring.

Posts TaggedBeats
DSP Manager is a fantastic application which can be used to achieve vibrating bass even with your stock headphones.
DSP Manager is like the HTC Beats sound enhancer, but taken to a whole new level. Sadly, this awesome application is not available in the Google Play store and you will need to put in a little bit more effort in order to get it working for your phone. Why? Because it's part of CyanogenMod and will not work on stock ROMs by default.
However, in this article, I'll show you how you can install the app on vanilla Android and HTC Sense, which should help you get it running on your own device regardless of which ROM you're running – as long as you have root access.
Today, Dean Sherwin gave his opinion about HTC's recent announcement that they would team up with Dr. Dre's Beats Electronics to add its sound capabilities to their phones.
Brendan has strong opinions on this topic, but I suspect these are not shared by all of our readers. It's important to clarify the question, though: yes, many people use their smartphone as their only portable MP3 player, so it makes sense to improve the sound capabilities (much like how phone cameras get better and better which each iteration). But is that the only reason for HTC's new arrangement?
I don't personally draw an immediate connection between HTC and Dr. Dre; "quietly brilliant" and "**** tha Police" don't quite gel. This is largely where the calls of "sellout" come from: HTC partnering with someone they wouldn't usually be associated with, to generate publicity and reach a larger audience. If they had simply announced that they were working on improving their audio technology because they thought that mobile users would appreciate it, they would not have received as much attention.
But perhaps I'm being unfair. Maybe HTC did decide that audio was their next important area to tackle, realised they'd be better off partnering with an existing technology company than trying to develop something from scratch, and found that Beats was both high quality and willing to do business. What do you think? Vote in the poll, and leave your opinions in the comments.
The word 'sellout' is thrown around a lot lately. It seems just about every time a writer, YouTuber, blogger or artist tries to make some cash from their creations they're accused of going corporate, selling their soul to the devil, and becoming too 'mainstream' for the hipsters. I hate these labels not because they bear down on the sorry soul who tried to validate their work with currency, but because they're normally applied by those who'd kill to have skill so they too could 'sell out'.
You can imagine the Tom & Jerry style fiasco that kicked off inside me when I applied the same label to my favourite phone manufacturer, HTC.

Teaching Philosophy
"I have a threefold approach to teaching — technical, aesthetic and theoretical. Each of these facets is important to arrive at the gestalt of a comprehensive understanding of how to use video to communicate. I feel it is important to show students examples and then quickly put the tools of production into their hands, allowing them to learn while they do. This process not only is necessary to get students excited about the possibilities of the medium, it is necessary to teach them how to use video to realize their own unique vision."
"I work in video because I feel it is perhaps the most democratizing media force in the world at this time, perhaps in the whole of human history. The cost of the tools required to produce and distribute motion media products are at an all time low, making video production the populist voice for any individual who desires to have one. Today, people grumble a great deal about 'the media,' as though it is our adversary. Don't hate the media, become the media."

UPDATE: Thanks to reader Peaisms for the tip that this product is now available on Amazon HERE as an add-on for 4.49!
UPDATE #2: This product is now available on the Walmart site HERE for $2.98. It has also been spotted in-store at Walmart. (Thanks to readers @lleogurl, @m20owen, and rainey_stewart for the great tips!)
If you're a fan of Maybelline products that are available in other countries, then I think you're going to be excited about this news!
Thanks so much to longtime reader Delmy (@TellMeDelmy on Twitter) for this one. Yesterday Maybelline posted a sneak peek of the upcoming Baby Lips Glow lip balm on their Snapchat, and Delmy kindly shared some screenshots with us! Take a look:

The new Maybelline Baby Lips Glow lip balm is coming soon to a drugstore near you! As you can see in the pics above, this balm comes in one shade called My Pink. It adjusts to your lips' pH for a customized color.
Sound familiar? Then you're probably thinking of the Baby Lips Pink Glow collection that's been available in other countries for a few years now. We're FINALLY getting our own version here in the US! In other countries, this lip balm comes in two shades: Pink Blast and Baby Pink. I'm GUESSING that the one shade that will be available here in the US (My Pink) will be closer to Pink Blast (see swatches HERE).
I can't tell you how many times I have almost ordered these from various Asian beauty e-tailers, and now I'm glad I waited. How about you? Do you already own the Baby Lips Pink Glow lip balms from other countries? Are you excited to see we're getting one of these here in the US soon?
Thanks again, Delmy, for the hot tip and great pics!

Cosatu says new repo rate will make people spend more on debts
Raymond Pani
18 March 2016
In a statement issued, Cosatu says it is shocked and totally condemns the decision by the Reserve Bank monetary committee to increase the repo rate by 25%.
Cosatu's National Spokesperson Sizwe Pamla said "this is the most unhelpful, unwarranted and destructive interest rate hike by the South African Reserve Bank, considering the fact that we need to find ways to grow the economy, this is going to sabotage those efforts.
The whole concept of increasing the repo rate means people are going to pay more and those who are working are going to spend a huge chunk of their salaries paying their bonds and loans. This will leave them with less money to spend and this economy needs people to spend."

(Opinerlog Editorial Published by Rochester "Democrat & Chronicle" 02-10-15)
None other than the New York Times reported that Speaker Boehner did inform the White House of the invitation to Prime Minister Netanyahu before the invitation was accepted. For whatever nefarious reason, the White House remained silent until after Netanyahu accepted the invitation. In short, folks, there was no "breach in protocol" and the White House knew it.
So, what induced this White House chicanery? Embarrass and undermine Netanyahu and impugn Speaker Boehner. Nothing more high-minded than that.
One must properly question if this White House is capable of dignity, integrity, sound judgement and grace.
With each lie, "phony" scandal, act of lawlessness and rank adolescence, this White House disgraces both the Office of the President and the American people. If unchecked, two more years of this sophomoric and unprincipled administration may be more than America and the World can bear.

- You'll need a soft washcloth, your oil blend, and hot, running water.
- Pour a generous puddle of oil into the palm of your hand. Roughly, the size of a quarter, but more is acceptable. Rub your hands together to warm the oil and smooth over your face.
- Begin massaging the oil into your face. This will remove makeup, dirt, and other impurities, so there is no need to use a makeup remover or wash your face prior to the massage. I've found that this removes even my stubborn waterproof mascara and concealor.
- Using slow, firm motions across the skin, massage the oil deeply into your pores. Take your time and focus on your problem areas. You want the oil to work into your pores so that blackheads and the like can be dissolved and steamed away.
- As you're massaging, let your mind drift off to something calming and breathe deeply. Take this time to relax and release some of the stress that your body is harboring. Sit down, breathe deeply, and take your time. Give the oil enough time to work on dissolving the impurities in your pores and give yourself enough time to unwind. Picture what your face would look like if it were completely clear and free from blemishes. Focus on that image and know that it is attainable. Trust that it is attainable. Accept that it is attainable. You can have clear skin, free of blemishes and you will have clear skin, free of blemishes. Focus on perfect skin and breathe deeply.
- Once you're satisfied that your pores are saturated and you're feeling calm, pick up your washcloth and soak it in clean, steamy water. We want the water to be warm enough to open your pores and remove the oil. Cool water will not open your pores, nor will it remove the oil efficiently. We're not scalding our skin, we're steaming to coax our pores to release the oil carrying the impurities. We're essentially steaming our skin as an esthetician would, but without the luxury of a steam machine.
- Hold the washcloth to cover your face. Allow it to stay until it cools. You will feel your pores releasing the impurities. Wipe the oil gently away and rinse the washcloth well in hot, running water. Hold the washcloth to your face again, allowing it to cool. Wipe gently, rinse well, and repeat two or three more times. Avoid any temptation to scrub, as you'll find it's completely unnecessary and your skin will be soft, smooth, and free of flakes without the additional manual exfoliation and irritation that will result. Impurities, dead skin cells, and bacteria will be gently swept away.
- Have no fear of the oil, as the steamy washcloth will remove it. The Castor Oil, though it is an oil, will help with the removal of the other oils, as well. It is our main cleansing oil and is easily removed with warm water.
- If your skin feels tight, take a tiny drop of your oil blend. I use Grapeseed oil as my moisturizer, because it is a natural astringent and is the lightest of all the oils. Trust me, it does not make your skin feel oily. Rub it between your clean, damp palms and pat it onto your damp skin. Gently massage any oil residue into your skin so there is no film of oil left sitting on the surface. Your skin should now glow!
- Word of the wise..do not reuse the same wash cloth if you have not washed it. Wash cloths harbor bacteria which is a major culprit of the little nasty critters we hate..yikes!
where to buy: Any health food store, Whole Foods, EarthFare, Vitamin Shoppe, Nutrition World
Happy Health
