There are a few inappropriate words in this post.
To me, 'god damn' it is not a bad series of words, but to my wife's aunt (who watches our daughter and is a Southern Baptist) it is. So we cater to her and do our best not to say it in front of our lovely daughter who repeats everything she hears – like every toddler. The other day she stubbed her to and said god damn it that hurt. I smacked my forehead and said the first thing that came to mind:
You can't say those words sweetheart. They're adult words.
I got a sideways look and I took a minute to explain that mommy and daddy were adults and she was a kid. She kind of understood it, but it didn't stick. I over-explain and I am trying to work on that.
The first time she dropped the F-bomb we were eating dinner and she spilled ranch on her dress. Mommy and I stopped eating and tried hard, without success to not laugh. Through my stifled giggling I again told her:
No sweetheart, that's an adult word.
Again she was confused but I think it sunk in – for that brief moment. She still wanted to know what was the difference between and 'adult' and a 'kid' and I was trying to figure out what to tell her without over-explaining. It was more difficult than one might think.
Did I mention we were at Thanksgiving dinner with the whole family?
For the most part our princess does not have a potty mouth, but when she hears an inappropriate word slip from mommy or daddy's lips that is the first thing and the only thing to come out of her mouth for quite a while. We both understand that we need to watch our mouth and I believe I am a bit more successful as I was raised not to say certain words whereas my wife was raised in a 'heathen' home and those words were just as common as 'milk'.
I do no believe in indoctrinating your children into a religion when they have no choice and no ability to choose, but it has been shown that those with a religious upbringing of any kind are more polite individuals than those without. That only means we are going to strive to make us not number in the majority.
I know we are not the only ones who have issues with children and 'adult words', so it gives my some solace that there are hundred of thousands, if not millions of people out there grinding their teeth and hiding a giggle as there child says:
Fuck my damn finger got caught in the door. That shit really hurts.

It Cosmetics Waterproof 5-in-1 Micro-Fiber Creme Gel Stain is by far the best eyebrow product I have tried to date. I first saw this product on QVC and for those who know me, I'm a sucker for QVC. David in the Kitchen is always a winner! When you get to see and learn about a product on different models it spikes my interest because you can see real results "live" in front of you. Jamie Kern Lima, the creator of It Cosmetics, is constantly on QVC not only showcasing her product, but often modeling her items on herself. I watched a segment on QVC featuring the Creme Gel Stain in which one models showed how she used this product to fake the illusion of fuller brows. That model's brows that day blew me away and I instantly had to order this product.
With It Cosmetics Waterproof 5-in-1 Micro-Fiber Creme Gel Stain you can have the illusion of the brows you should have been born. The makeup is easy to apply, dries in seconds, and lasts until you wash your face with makeup remover.
This is Justine tried, tested, and approved.
QVC is still currently offering both the Creme Gel Stain and the accompanying brush for $27.36. Blonde, however, is only available on waitlist. Not sold that the QVC price is the way to go? The brush alone costs $24. Ya, I would buy the set from QVC if I were you.
If sparse brows are your problem I highly recommend It Cosmetics Waterproof 5-in-1 Micro-Fiber Creme Gel Stain. Otherwise, if you simply like to enhance what God already gave you It Cosmetics Brow Power Waterproof Perfector is an excellent product.

Read the text below.
Tomas Lopez, a 21-year-old lifeguard was fired on the spot after saving a man from drowning in Hallandale Beach, South Florida.
The man he saved was 1,500 meters outside of the protection zone of Jeff Ellis Management, the company that Lopez worked for. Lopez was fired for violating a company rule, which states that lifeguards are not allowed to go outside their assigned areas.
According to the company, the rule was made to avoid liability issues. The rule ensures that the company is not legally responsible for the lives of swimmers outside the protection zone. If someone outside the protection zone should need help, lifeguards should call the emergency number 911 and wait for medics to arrive.
Lopez said he knowingly violated the company rule, but he believes he did the right thing, and added that he would do it again if he had to. During the incident other lifeguards called 911 and watched over Lopez' area while Lopez went to help the man.
Jeff Ellis, the company president, admits that the management's decision to fire Lopez was unjustified. Lopez was offered his job back, but he declined the offer, saying he would like to focus on school and start his career.
Five lifeguards involved in the case were also offered their jobs back. Previously, two were fired for supporting Lopez' decision to save the man and three quit in protest to the firing of their co-worker.
The man Lopez saved was rushed to Ventura hospital, where he is now reportedly in good condition.
Viewpoint Discussion

Belated Valentine's Gift
J and I decided to forego random little gifts this year for Valentine's Day and instead to buy something we'd both enjoy for the living room. We decided to look for a chair, but haven't yet found the perfect one - so en route to the perfect chair, I found these! here (bought only 1 - these are pictured in the store, not my living room)
They were marked down, over 75% off - which put them into our price range... and way below what it would cost to make something so lovely.
Doesn't this just scream "libby would love this!"????
A friend walked into the living room and said, "did you have that made for this room?"
I feel the same.
happy, happy, joy, joy!

It's time to take off the jacket and go after the heel, John McCain.
McCain is now dredging and throwing dirt in ever-increasing clumps. It's no more "Mr. Nice Guy." McCain no longer gets the benefit of the doubt. McCain's life is up for grabs.
Let's begin here with the United States Navy.
John McCain is not very bright. He graduated 5th from the bottom of his class at the Naval Academy and would have been thrown out on his ass if his daddy had not been a Naval poohbah.
His reputation as a pilot stinks. He was more concerned about chasing women than serving his country even while in the Navy. Most young men in back in the 1960s would have considered a career as a Navy pilot to be a dream come true. McCain's naval aviation career is a nightmare:
1. In 1960, McCain slammed his AD-6 Skyraider into Corpus Chrisi Bay. He said the engine quit. An investigation showed no evidence of engine failure. The 23-year old screwball "wasn't paying attention and erred in using 'a power setting to low to maintain level flight in a turn.'"
2. Sometime around December 1961, McCain was "clowning" around in a Skyraider over Spain and flew into electrical wires, causing a blackout.
3. On Nov. 28, 1965, McCain claimed he heard an explosion in the engine of his T-2 trainer jet and lost power. He bailed and the plane crashed in the woods. Investigators could find no evidence of a power failure or explosion. But they said McCain had made several errors.
4. In 1967, off Vietnam, his plane was destroyed in an explosion on the deck of an aircraft carrier.
5. In October 1967, McCain was flying over North Vietnam - his 23rd bombing mission. A surface-to-air missile hit his A-4 attack jet at 3,000 feet above Hanoi. Aviators were told to stay at 4,000 feet! His plane crashed.
The Los Angeles Times, upon compiling a report detailing McCain's aviation mishaps concluded that the "examination of his record revealed a pilot who early in his career was cocky, occasionally cavalier and prone to testing limits."
Today, someone with McCain's record would be tossed out of the Navy.
After the Navy
McCain came home from Vietnam to toss out his wife, Carol, who had been maimed and disfigured in a car accident. He had several affairs, including one with a Brazilian woman, and one with his current wife, Cindy Helmsley, some 25 years his junior.
He divorced Carol so he could marry Cindy. Some reports indicate an overlap. He actually may not have been legally divorced when he married Cindy.
McCain went to work for Cindy's dad's Budweiser beer distributorship. Before long he was looking at a political career, backed with Helmsley's money.
The Keating Affair
This affair had nothing to do with sex. It had to do with money. Lots of it. McCain and other members of Congress tried to help out old Charles Keating who stole tons of taxpayer money in the Savings and Loan scandal. Their motivation derived from the fact that Keating had provided the senators with 1.3 million in campaign contributions. Keating had also put money into McCain's political races. So they "used their influence to get regulators to back off their investigations of Lincoln Savings and Loan, owned by Keating." Cindy McCain made out big time. The Ethics Committee determined that John used "bad judgment." You think?
Let's see: John got $133,000 in campaign contributions from Keating. He "and his family made nine trips aboard Keating's private jet to various vacation spots, including three to Keating's own retreat in the Bahamas."
Three of the others involved retired from Congress when their term was up.
McCain apologized and said he'd never do anything like that again. He lied. For years he's been the best friend a Washington lobbyist could ever have. Today his campaign is run by some of the biggest corporate lobbyists in the country, including his campaign manager, Rick Davis.
The U.S. Council for World Freedom
This is an extremist right-wing crackpot group with ties to rightwing death squads in Central America.
McCain served on the Council's board in 1984, but said he resigned that year because he became "uncomfortable" with the group's activities.
But John was lying again. His name appears on the group's letterhead up until 1986. "He also attended the group's 'Freedom Fighter of the Year' award ceremony on Oct. 3, 1985."
Someone should ask old John just what he did for this group. What exactly were his responsibilities? Why did he join such a group in the first place?
Talk about "palling" around with terrorists!
There's more coming in the future.

This 7" was the roots from which the Sonic Youth tree has flourished. And from that mighty tree many leaves have sprung, fallen, were raked up, and placed in refuse bins where they decompose. If you're listening to what's in the bin, go back to the roots and wise up. Guitar gods smiled when Rudolph Grey & Von Lmo united for this classic.

Finally serving dinner and booze, this recently opened Kendall Sq bar-fe (from the dudes behind The Achilles Project) rocks a wood-burning oven, and slings a creative, daily-changing lineup including pulled BBQ beef short rib sammies, pork & duck country terrine crostini, and even a wild Rhode Island striped bass gyro. Drinking's covered by a wide selection of Scotches & bourbons (Pappy Van Winkle Rye 20y, Death's Door White), and 12 rotating taps pouring the likes of Cottrell Old Yankee Ale, Smuttynose Star Island, and Thomas Hooker Munich Lager, made by a guy whose name was definitely teased as a kid. "Thomas" is just too formal!
These Onion Rings Are Stuffed With Cheeseburgers
Area Four keeps its seats filled with its famously crispy, wood-fired crust. Beginning with a starter that's more than 10 years old, the dough is fermented for 30 hours or more, then topped with hand-pulled mozzarella. That is, if you want mozzarella: Area Four's signature mozzarella tops most of its pies, but there are a couple other options -- including its ridiculously tasty clams & bacon pizza -- that opt out of mozzarella for a finish of nutty pecorino. Though it's known for dinner, Area Four serves traditional morning fare like breakfast sandwiches and pastries, plus a stellar breakfast pizza with cheddar cheese, potato, eggs, and bacon.

Somerville - Two Golden Restoration Rules to Honor A City of Homes
The majority of Somerville's houses were built prior to 1940. Most of these homes have some form of architectural interest, not necessarily in the manner of grand Victorian styles and elaborate detail, but in craftsmanship that is no longer used in most of today's developments and in materials and labor which would cost significantly to replace. They are homes that were lived in by working-class and wealthy families alike, just like today.
These houses represent Somerville's charm and character. They help to define Somerville today, and they are an important part of our future. They will last longer, with proper care, than most new homes, as will their original material compared to newer products. The next time you walk through your neighborhood take a closer look at your surroundings. You might find a restored home, sensitive rehab, or perhaps the remnant of an old house: a unique column, old windows and glass, period doors, or decorative balusters.
Maybe your house has been modified and you would like to bring it back to its original style. Perhaps you have restored your property or are right in the middle of repairs. Whatever your situation, the following two golden restoration rules are solid principles to guide you.
Two Golden Restoration Rules (excerpt from The Old-House Journal Guide to Restoration)
The confusion in nomenclature about preservation gives a lot of well-meaning old-house owners needless guilt feelings. If you feel that you are restoring your house, then you should use restoration procedures. But lets say you read an article about restoration written by a preservation professional who has a museum house in mind. You begin to feel inadequate and guilty because you aren't using paint microanalysis and the documentary research that the author advocates.
Most people fixing up an old house probably aren't working with a museum-grade structure. Most old-house owners are doing something between a sensitive rehabilitation and an interpretive restoration rather than an historic restoration that most professionals talk about. While some of the procedures involved in historic restoration can be helpful to the average old-house owner, they can give you the guilts unless you observe our two golden rules:
- Thou shalt not destroy good old work
- To thine own style be true
Basically this means that as you approach the task of fixing up your old house, be sensitive to the details in the house. Every time you destroy or fix something, you change the character of the building. If we think of a building as a collection of individual details, then changing the character of one, changes the character of them all. It is better to repair rather than replace original elements and materials whenever possible. And when replacement is necessary, the replacement should resemble the original as closely as possible in terms of proportion, texture, and material. Beware the contractor who wants to rip out lots of old unsalvageable detail. Many materials a contractor might deem unusable are in fact recyclable with a little creative restoration work.
How do you determine if the old work is 'good'? In general, it is good if 1) it is fabricated from good quality materials; 2) the workmanship is good; and 3) the design typifies a particular style or works in harmony with the rest of the structure. You may find newer additions to the house good, too. It is best to leave additions if they pass the test for good work and they don�t interfere with the operation of the structure as you intend to use it.
The second golden rule 'To thine own style be true' will save you from needless professional preservation (i.e., you don't need to over-historicize). Your house represents a specific architectural style (or a combination of styles). Be proud of it and don't try to make it into something it isn't. Learn everything you can about that style, then let your rehabilitation or restoration bring out the character and flavor of that style.
A few years back, many people made the mistake of trying to antique their old homes. Victorian houses were never meant to look colonial with fake shutters, pedimented doorways, and the like. Similarly, trying to Victorianize a turn-of-the-20th century house can produce disastrous stylistic results.
Every house had an original design concept. This is true whether it was designed by a famous architect or constructed by an anonymous carpenter-builder. Your work should enhance and clarify this original design concept. Or, at the very least, it should not detract from it.
To sum up the golden rules, your attitude about the rehabilitation or restoration will mean the difference between a remuddled job (house rehab or renovation gone awry) and a sensitive treatment. When you have sensitivity, everything else falls into place. Sensitivity implies an attitude of respect toward the good work of others and an attitude of frustration with the obvious examples of ugly work on a building that detracts from the beauty of the streetscape.

Hello, world! This blog began on September 28, 2007, and so far nobody has come looking for me
with tar and feathers. On my honor, I will do my best not to bore you. All comments are welcome
as long as your discourse is civil and your language is not blue.
Happy reading, and come back often!
And whether my cup is half full or half empty, fill my cup, Lord.

Bits and snippets from the one and only...
...Flannery O'Connor:
"Anything that comes out of the South is going to be called grotesque by the northern reader, unless it is grotesque, in which case it is going to be called realistic."
"Everywhere I go I'm asked if I think the university stifles writers. My opinion is that they don't stifle enough of them. There's many a best-seller that could have been prevented by a good teacher."
"The novelist with Christian concerns will find in modern life distortions which are repugnant to him, and his problem will be to make these appear as distortions to an audience which is used to seeing them as natural; and he may well be forced to take ever more violent means to get his vision across to this hostile audience. When you can assume that your audience holds the same beliefs you do, you can relax a little and use more normal means of talking to it; when you have to assume that it does not, then you have to make your vision apparent by shock -- to the hard of hearing you shout, and for the almost-blind you draw large and startling figures."
"You would probably do just as well to get that plot business out of your head and start simply with a character or anything that you can make come alive...Wouldn't it be better for you to discover a meaning in what you write rather than to impose one? Nothing you write will lack meaning because the meaning is in you."
"When the Protestant hears what he supposes to be the voice of the Lord, he follows it regardless of whether it runs counter to his church's teachings. The Catholic believes any voice he may hear comes from the Devil unless it is in accordance with the teachings of the Church."
"To a lot of Protestants I know, monks and nuns are fanatics, none greater. And to a lot of the monks and nuns I know, my Protestant prophets are fanatics. For my part, I think the only difference between them is that if you are a Catholic and have this intensity of belief you join a convent and are heard from no more; whereas if you are a Protestant and have it, there is no convent for you to join and you go about in the world, getting into all sorts of trouble and drawing the wrath of people who don't believe anything much at all down on your head."
"St. Cyril of Jerusalem said to the catechumens, 'The dragon sits by the side of the road, watching those who pass. Beware lest he devour you. We go to the Father of Souls, but it is necessary to pass by the dragon.' No matter what form the dragon may take, it is of this mysterious passage past him, or into his jaws, that stories of any depth will always be concerned to tell, and this being the case, it requires considerable courage at any time, in any country, not to turn away from the storyteller."
"One of the tendencies of our age is to use the suffering of children to discredit the goodness of God, and once you have discredited His goodness, you are done with Him. The Aylmers whom Hawthorne saw as a menace have multiplied. Busy cutting down human imperfection, they are making headway also on the raw material of the good. Ivan Karamazov cannot believe, as long as one child is in torment; Camus' hero cannot accept the divinity of Christ, because of the massacre of the innocents. In this popular pity, we mark our gain in sensibility and our loss in vision. If other ages felt less, they saw more, even though they saw with the blind, prophetical, unsentimental eye of acceptance, which is to say faith. In the absence of this faith now, we govern by tenderness. It is a tenderness which, long since cut off from the person of Christ, is wrapped in theory. When tenderness is detached from the source of tenderness, its logical outcome is terror. It ends in forced-labor camps and in the fumes of the gas chamber."
"You will have found Christ when you are concerned with other people's sufferings and not your own."
All of Flannery O'Connor's fiction, none of which is quoted above, can be found in her two volumes of short stories (A Good Man Is Hard To Find and Everything That Rises Must Converge, plus The Complete Stories, a combination of the first two plus several stories she wrote and submitted in lieu of a master's thesis while attending the prestigious Iowa Writers' Workshop) and her two novels (Wise Blood and The Violent Bear It Away).
All of the bits and snippets quoted in this post are taken from two other sources, Mystery and Manners: Occasional Prose by Flannery O'Connor and The Habit of Being: Letters of Flannery O'Connor by Flannery O'Connor (Sally Fitzgerald, editor), which, if your local library does not carry, shame on them.
Flannery O'Connor died of lupus at the age of 39. Had she lived, she would have turned 84 last month.

A wise woman, to be of such a tender age (relatively speaking). One would expect thoughts/words like that from an 84 year old, not one under 40.ReplyDelete
Fascinating. I echo Pat's thoughts, too.....Flannery sounds like someone much older.ReplyDelete
I'll be mulling over #4 and #7. The last two quotes seem to me to contradict each other in a way.
I loved the quotations, but I haven't read anything by the author.ReplyDelete
i am now a lurkerReplyDelete
Thank you RWP, I much enjotyed being reminded of her sometime acerbic view. I have always thought some of her quotes priceless and her work hard to read.ReplyDelete
Way to young for such a talent to leave...
Wow, that's some powerful, thought provoking stuff. Thanks.ReplyDelete
i am upset with the mormon church because i can't be married to it like some nuns and priests of the catholic church are married to their church and as such can devote 110 % of their time like john stockten used to say he gave to the utah jazz, 110%....so you are right. i go on a rampage for my church and sound like tinkling brass because i don't have their backing from their prophets...i have never been a bishop for my church, or on the high counsel, or spoke authoritatively for them as a whole and it has disappointed me...i do know some doctrine but just enough to make me dangerous, and i am sure my wife would be disappointed in what i have just said to you, if she knew...i hope you keep this comment because it did come from my heart which at times i wear on my shirt sheeve and doesn't loren christie write a wonderful blog?????ReplyDelete
I apologize for my delay in replying to your comments. Yard work called, and I was obliged to answer.ReplyDelete
Pat in Arkansas - I discovered Flannery when I was 34 and thought I was pretty wise myself. Now that I am exactly double that age, I agree with you.
Jeannelle - I thought the same thing at first, that the last two quotations seemed to contradict each other. The difference, I suppose, is whether a person is more interested in alleviating others' suffering or accusing God of cruelty.
Snowbrush - Welcome to my blog! I recommend starting with the short stories.
Putz (#1) - Based on your second, lengthier comment, you are definitely not a lurker!
Reamus - I don't think her work is hard to read as much as it is hard to swallow for some people.
Or if it is hard, perhaps only in the sense of being disturbed by it.
Rosezilla - Try reading her fiction! Also my next post....
Putz (#2) - I didn't say any of those things, Flannery O'Connor did, but either she struck a nerve or you said, "I resemble that remark!" and, yes, I do enjoy reading Loren Christie's blog. I discovered her in the comments section of your own blog, which I hope is just on hiatus and not defunct. I do appreciate your sharing your heartfelt comments with me.
Note to Rosezilla: Oops. I have added another post today. The one I pointed you to is scheduled to appear tomorrow, Tuesday, April 28. A thousand pardons for any confusion I caused you.ReplyDelete
I have never heard of her but the quotes... many of them I can relate to Church and God is not supposed to be a business or a job. Its supposed to be a calling.ReplyDelete
I also feel, that if people adhered to the basic 10 Commandments, we would not have so many problems in this world. There would not be divorce or violence or abuse or hunger.People would have a clearer sense between right and wrong and therefore psychological suffering would diminish. Society replaced God with social welfare, which has no soul because its a business. People become cold because they know there is a corporation doing their work for them. When it doesn't or can't, those in need have no where to go.

Singh wears a turban that, when unwound, stretches some 2,115 feet, which is the same length as 13 Olympic swimming pools. For comparison, the average turban worn by men who follow Sikhism measures about 16 to 23 feet of fabric. Singh figured he could do better. As of now, he stands to break the world record for largest turban. The turban is multicolored and decorated with silver ornaments and weighs about 100 pounds. That's 100 pounds of fabric resting on the 60-year-old's head all day every day.

During a particularly painful time in her life, Sarah Zacharias Davis learned how delightful–and wounding–women can be in friendship. She saw how some friendships end badly, others die slow deaths, and how a chance acquaintance can become that enduring friend you need.
The Friends We Keep is Sarah's thoughtful account of her own story and the stories of other women about navigating friendship. Her revealing discoveries tackle the questions every woman asks:
• Why do we long so for women friends?
• Do we need friends like we need air or food or water?
• What causes cattiness, competition, and co-dependency in too many friendships?
• Why do some friendships last forever and others only a season?
• How do I foster friendship?
• When is it time to let a friend go, and how do I do so?
With heartfelt, intelligent writing, Sarah explores these questions and more with personal stories, cultural references and history, faith, and grace. In the process, she delivers wisdom for navigating the challenges, mysteries, and delights of friendship: why we need friendships with other women, what it means to be safe in relationship, and how to embrace what a friend has to offer, whether meager or generous.
Sarah Zacharias Davis is the vice president of marketing and development for Ravi Zacharias Ministries, having joined the ministry after working in strategic marketing for CNN. The daughter of best-selling writer of Ravi Zacharias, Davis is the author of the critically-acclaimed Confessions from an Honest Wife and Transparent. She lives in Atlanta, Georgia.

Thanks Mr. Greenspan; we'll do pizza.
Despite economic hard times, landmark East Village pizzaria Two Boots is embarking on a major expansion to put its spicy menu into the hands of pizza eaters across America.
Pizza's also got a built-in hedge – good times or bad.
"Pizza is recession-proof," said Andrew Moger, President and COO of Two Boots.
"If you look for ways to make money in bad times, pizza is one of them, so this weak economy is fairly good news for us.
"Pies also flourish in good times, because people are so busy making money in a rebound, they'll grab only a quick bite – a pizza."
Two Boots was founded 16 years ago by independent filmmakers Phil Hartman and Doris Kornish to help underwrite their Bohemian East Village lifestyle.
In the process, they also plowed back millions into expanding their beloved recipes into five more pizza shops around town, earning raves along the way from food critics and scene-makers alike.
Last week, they opened in Rockefeller Center to sell their Cajun-Italian fare to the throngs in the busy, remodeled underground food courts. Millions of tourists in Rockefeller Center also may carry the message back home about the Cajun-Italian pizza, Moger said.
Two Boots plans to open seven more shops in Manhattan by 2002 – using its own cash flow from operations – and then roll out nationally when the market for IPOs improves so it can tap outside investors.
Its style is basically thin crusts laced with spices, a Cajun-style Italian sauce with toppings ranging from barbecued crayfish to the New Orleans hard sausage andouille (replacing pepperoni).
But will it sell across America?
"It's going to work very well in high-profile, sophisticated areas," said Moger. That includes college towns, urban areas and concentrations of educated work forces such as pharmaceutical and technology towns.
Hollywood is its biggest out-of-town target.
"We'll leverage our founders' involvement in independent film to get a special spin in Hollywood," he said.
Moger believes independent film enjoys a status of "having the only true artistic cachet in a place like Hollywood that dominated by a box-office mentalities."
"Besides, L.A. has terrible pizza.They have no historic roots in the way New York or Chicago or St. Louis do."
Two Boots at its original location – Avenue A and East 2nd Street – also runs an art film movie theater, Two Boots Pioneer Theater, next door to the pizza parlor, a video store of classic flicks adjacent to that and a 70-seat full-service Cajun-Italian restaurant across the street from them.
It's doubtful they'll try to mix video and pizza takeouts nationwide.
"Our draw is pizza, which is the best in New York, " said Moger. "Our brand is basically a lifestyle that the East Village is known for.
Two Boots will also venture into brand extensions, including music and fashion.

I was asked to upload links to places I have found good bakery bits and oblivious to thinking this myself earlier here are some you can use, these are the ones I found to have been very useful, cheap in price and good quality.
For you tube rose making tips:
(This is using a 22d nozzle)
(Two tone icing effect)
(Using a 2d nozzle)
(This one is good for tips and styles)
To be honest I've seen lots and its about what your style of decorating is, type in what you want and most likely there will be a tutorial on it!
I googled a lot of bakery products and found amazon to have good products and fairly priced, I especially loved this which had LOTS of cutters for cheap. They also came with a range of cake tools.
Sugar craft products have also proven to be very good for cupcakes and cake making.
I also brought these:
For texture mats and alphabet cutters I went to purple cupcakes . This company is great because it is UK based and has a large range of products and is very good quality.
Lastly the best place for a lot of stuff is…eBay ! I have searched lots of stuff on eBay and you can practically find anything and everything bakery from here. I have ordered a range of cupcake toppers for very cheap as well as funky cupcake cases, wilton nozzles and ribbons. Again you can narrow exactly what your looking for in the search engine and check out the best prices.
If you do decide to buy online be sure to check for the best prices and quality too.
Alternatively tesco's and sainsburys have a wide range if cupcake decorating stuff and I regularly purchase from here too for my pearly balls, chocolate stars and daisy wafers. In fact I even brought some large size nozzles which came with a piping bag for cheap. (And yep in case you haven't worked it out I luuurve my bargains!)
Good luck with your baking quests and keep me updated on your finds, be sure to let me know of any other places you find that have baking bargains and your cakey ideas! X
P.S apologies if the links are not uploaded very well, have typed this up on my phone!

a new way
Author: Dr Strange Posted under:
If you're like most of us these days, you're probably looking over your household budget and trying to find ways to cut back on your expenses. In the process you're trying to decide which purchases are optional and which are mandatory. And which mandatory purchases can be made affordable by shopping around. Most people view eyeglasses as being in the mandatory category, but don't think they can save any significant amount of money by shopping around. Which is where they are wrong, because Zenni Optical makes and ships eyeglasses to individual purchases at surprisingly low prices. While the glasses you find at the shopping mall have been part of an extended process in which manufacturers license brand names and ship them to distributors who then sell them to individual chains, which resell them to you, Zenni Optical manufacturers its own eyeglasses, under its own brand and sells them directly to you. This shortened process results in eyeglasses that start at 8 dollars. And while you might not think that incredible prices like these for eyeglasses can be real, as more and more people are discovering, they indeed are real. And what's more, Zenni Optical's eyeglasses have the same features and feature options on both the lens and frames as the high end glasses you would usually buy at the mall. For a fraction of the price. Just see the following Examiner article for a more in depth look at Zenni Optical and discover a new way to balance your budget.

The U.S. Energy Department's natural gas advisory subcommittee urged regulators to require drillers to release more information about the impact of hydraulic fracturing, which is essential to tapping the nation's plentiful shale gas reserves.The panel said in an interim report that it "shares the prevailing view that the risk of fracturing fluid leakage into drinking water sources through fractures made in deep shale reservoirs is remote."
"Nevertheless the subcommittee believes there is no economic or technical reason to prevent public disclosure of all chemicals in fracturing fluids, with an exception for genuinely proprietary information," the report said.Some neighbors of drilling sites have claimed that fracking polluted their drinking water, and environmental groups and public health advocates have urged the government to require disclosure of chemicals used by drillers. But companies have insisted that they be allowed to safeguard that information because it is proprietary.
Critics and even some members of the industry have charged that companies have used intellectual property issues as an excuse to withhold information about fracking.
Tasked by the Obama administration with identifying steps to improve the safety of shale gas drilling, the seven-member panel outlined a series of recommendations for increasing transparency and strengthening oversight of the practice.
Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, involves injecting a mix of water, sand and chemicals into rock formations at a high pressures to release oil and gas.
Innovations in the technique have led to an explosion of shale gas development, but the expansion has also prompted public backlash. Environmental groups and some landowners believe that the practice has fouled drinking supplies, making livestock and children sick and tap water flammable.ACCELERATE DISCLOSURE
In response to public concerns, some companies have begun releasing more details about the composition of fracking fluids, but the panel said "progress needs to be accelerated."The panel's report called for the creation of a national database to compile information about shale gas wells.
The industry should also establish an organization to improve operating techniques, the report said.
"The specific thing that we believe industry can do and are on the path of doing is to more consistently and with a greater commitment push for best practices and measuring and disclosing the results of what they're doing in the field," John Deutch, the panel's chairman, told Reuters in a phone interview.
The release of more data will not only help to reassure the public, but will help regulators develop new rules and better address potential environmental hazards, Deutch said.
The report also calls for overhaul of the management of the millions of gallons of water used in the process and an update to rules to fully protect surface and ground water.
States and local governments should create systems to measure water quality prior to shale gas production, to better evaluate the impact, the report said.
Concerns over fracking have led to calls for more federal regulation, which is currently mostly exempt from oversight by the Environmental Protection Agency under the Safe Drinking Water Act.
While this matter was outside the scope of the panel, Deutch said "it is a subject that deserves examination."
"My own experience would say that for private lands, the differences around the country in terms of both geology and practice mean that states are really the place to begin," said Deutch, an MIT professor and former under secretary for energy in the Carter administration.More...

Women in Science Competition
Submitted by Amy Tom, MHS Science Department Head
On Saturday Dec 9, 2017, three of Milton High School's best and brightest female students traveled to Bedford, MA to enter into "the Women in Science Competition". Juniors Sarah Hancock, Karisa Lasoff, and Claire Mandel competed against 44 other teams from 23 different school districts.
This was Milton's second appearance at the competition, and the ladies had a strong showing in the competition. The competition required a vast science knowledge in multiple fields like biology, genetics, physics, chemistry, astronomy, weather, coding and problem solving as there were two design build problems presented to the students. Milton High hopes to send more teams in the years to come to this fantastic competition.

2017 DELF Exam: Another Successful Year
Submitted by Dr. Martine Fisher, Director of World Languages
For the fifth year in a row, all the High School French students who took the DELF exam successfully passed it. The DELF Exam (Diplôme d'Études en Langue Française) is an official qualification awarded by the French Ministry of Education certifying specific levels of fluency in French. This certification, which is officially recognized by the European Consortium for Foreign Languages and 180 countries around the world, constitutes the equivalent of the American TOEFL. It is used for school records, as well as college and job applications. Scores are valid for life.
Congratulations to Madame Pons, our DELF teacher, and the following French VI students:Taylor Burns, Molly Kibble, Brigitte Dugas, Allegra Giddings, Daniel deBenedictis, Lily Phelan, Sarah Power, Elizabeth Sbarra, Jessica Ayer, Omolade Gbolade, Lulu Mackenzie, Sarah Gardiner, Louis Fitzgerald, Paige Purcell, Madison Jrolf, Liam Donelan, Shane Savage, Bailey Cook, Morgan Chandler, William Macmillan, Gregory Hebard, Andrew Steele, Julia Biagiotti, Nailah Dore-Tyrell, Edwin Duprevil, Aidan Duggan, Anthony Hancock, Claire O'Neill, Max Plageman, Morgan Smith, Sydney Nguyen, Joanna Needham, Ben Corson, Christina Tougias, Liezel Werner
The DELF is designed to assess the communicative skills of a candidate in a real situation using authentic documents, and evaluate her or his linguistic know-how (writing a letter, asking for information, exchanging opinions). The exam assesses the four language skills (listening comprehension, reading comprehension, speaking skills and writing) and has several levels (Junior B1 or B2 for our students). The oral test is administered by trained instructors from the French Cultural Center of Boston and our DELF certified teachers.
At the B1 level, the user becomes independent. He/she can maintain interaction: he/she can understand and maintain a discussion and give his/her opinion. He/she is capable of dealing with situations likely to arise in daily life. A B2 user has a degree of independence that allows him/her to construct arguments to defend his/her opinion, explain his/her viewpoint and negotiate. At this level, the candidate has a degree of fluency and spontaneity in regular interactions and is capable of correcting his/her own mistakes.
