We are going to go back to the Sotah ceremony in Num 5.11-31 to pick up some additional information. We are going to take a look at how this ceremony may have played a role in the life of Miriam, the mother of Yeshua. We will be using as a source for this study of the Sotah of Miriam the Mishnah, tractate "Sotah" and the book by Alfred Edersheim called "The Temple: Its Ministry and Services" p. 361-365.
We know from Isa 7.14 that a "virgin" will give birth to a son, and it would be a "sign." So, what was the "sign" that Miriam was a virgin if this prophecy applied to Yeshua? We have touched on this concept earlier but we are going to get into more detail. First, we know that Yochanon Ha Matvil (John the Immerser) was conceived around the end of June (Luke 1.5-38), after Zachariah came home after serving his week in the Temple according to his division of Abiyah. We know when his division served because of the order of service given in 1 Chr 24.10.
Joseph's reaction to Miriam's "news" is seen in Mat 1.18-25. She informs him that she is pregnant. She conceived six months after Elisheva (Elizabeth) did with Yochanan, making it the month of Kislev when Yeshua was conceived, around Chanukah. Yochanon is born three months later, around Passover and Yeshua is born six months after that, around the festival of Sukkot. Now, the Sotah portion of Scripture was read in the synagogues (Num 5.11-31) between Sukkot and Chanukah. We are looking for the "sign" of Isa 7.14.
A young woman having a baby was not a "sign" for anyone to look at. It was very common. What is significant is Miriam went to the home of her cousin Elisheva. Zachariah was older and a respected priest, both were called righteous in Luke 1.6 in the sight of God. Miriam went to the house of a respected tzaddik immediately after the angelic visit and stayed three months, or until Passover (Luke 1.56-57).
We know there is a ceremony in the Torah that could prove whether a woman is a virgin or not, and that ceremony is called the Sotah, meaning "one who has strayed." We are going to take a look at the Sotah ceremony of Miriam, but there is no record of this in the Scriptures. We are presenting this as a way she could have shown everyone that she was a virgin according to Isa 7.14.
The Sotah ceremony was no longer practiced and done away with around 70 AD by Yochanon Ben Zakkai. This ceremony was associated with the Temple, and with the Temple destroyed, it could no longer be done. It will return with the next Temple. There are many other ceremonies associated with the Temple that cannot be done today, including the festivals, picking of lots, biblical leprosy, the Nazarite vow and much more. We know that the time in the wilderness was a supernatural environment, and so was the Temple.
There were two types of Sotah. First, there was the Sotah with no definite evidence. Second, there was the Sotah with some immoral behavior, and there is some evidence, like being pregnant. This is what Miriam was. She is called a "presumptive Sotah." Sotah 1.1 in the Mishnah says that the husband must warn her before two witnesses, and he may make her drink the bitter waters on the evidence of one witness or his own evidence that she has gone aside in secret with another.
Sotah 1.3 tells us how he must deal with her. He should bring her to the court in that place and they appoint for him two talmidim of the sages, lest he has a connection with her on the way. Did Miriam volunteer for this by going to Zachariah and Elisheva as two witnesses to her behavior up to the festival, and to her credibility? Zachariah is an elder kohen and respected, so she may have volunteered for the Sotah by going to their house in order to see she was a virgin. They certainly would have believed her story because the same angel came to them, and Elisheva conceived in her old age, a miracle at the other end of the age scale. This visit is no small thing and it means something.
The Mishnah tells us the husband would take the suspected wife to the court of his town. They would designate two learned men to accompany him to prove he does not cohabit with her on the way. Sotah 1.4 says they would bring her up to the "great court" and admonish her like they would a witness in a capital case. They would say, "My daughter, much sin is wrought by wine, much by light conduct, much by childishness, and much by evil neighbors; do you behave for the sake of his great name, written in holiness, that it be not blotted out through the water of bitterness?" And they would speak before her words which neither she nor the family of her father's house are worthy to hear. In other words, they try to instill the fear of God in her.
We are going to see that they will write the name of God (YHVH-Yehovah) on the parchment that was put into the waters of bitterness, and she will drank it. She will have the opportunity to say she is guilty. If she does, they write a bill of divorce (Get) and she is divorced. If she says she is innocent, they take her up to the Eastern Gate, which is opposite of the Nicanor Gate in the Court of the Women. This gate is called the "Gate of the Just" or pure. The ashes of the Parah Adamah (Red Heifer) are there and it was where they purify the Metzora (leper) and a woman after childbirth (Lev 12). So, let's move on to more of the ceremony.
The Torah says that the husband shall bring his wife to the priest, and shall bring as an offering for her one-tenth of an ephah of barley flour; he shall not pour oil on it, nor put frankincense on it, for it is a grain offering of jealousy, a grain offering of memorial, a reminder of iniquity. This is symbolic of bringing her deeds to God's remembrance. Then she is brought before the Lord at the Nicanor Gate of the Temple.
The priest takes water in an earthen-ware vessel and he shall take some of the dust that is on the floor of the Temple and put it into the water. The woman stands before the Lord and they let her hair down, and they place the grain offering of memorial into her hands. In the hand of the priest is the water of bitterness that brings a curse. The priest has her recite an oath and says to the woman, "If no man has lain with you and if you have not gone astray into uncleanness, being under the authority of your husband, be immune to this water of bitterness that brings a curse; and if you, however, have gone astray, being under the authority of your husband, and if you have defiled yourself, and a man other than your husband has had intercourse with you" then the priest shall have the woman swear with the oath of the curse, and the priest shall say to the woman, "The Lord shall make you a curse and an oath among your people by the Lord making your thigh waste away and your abdomen swell, and this water that brings a curse shall go into your stomach and make your abdomen swell and your thigh waste away." And the woman shall say, "Amen, Amen" (meaning "faithfully true" or "I agree").
The priest shall then write these curses on a scroll, and he shall wash then off into the water of bitterness (Num 5.19-22). The priest takes the grain offering of jealousy from the woman's hand and he shall wave the grain offering before the Lord and brings it to the altar; and the priest shall take a handful of the grain offering and he offers it up in smoke on the altar. Afterward, he shall make the woman drink the water.
When that is done, then it shall come about if she has defiled herself and she has been unfaithful to her husband, the water that brings a curse shall go into her and cause bitterness, and her abdomen would swell and her thigh waste away, and the woman will become a curse among her people. However, if the woman has not defiled herself and is clean, she will be free of any of these symptoms and she will conceive children.
It is possible that Miriam volunteered for this ceremony. It would have been a powerful sign to the priests and to the people because she had to appear before the Sanhedrin. They would have had a record about this in the Temple that anyone could have checked if they wanted to disprove Yeshua's messianic claims and to show he was a false prophet, and that his mother was not a virgin. But they couldn't produce that evidence because if Miriam went through this ceremony, nothing happened to her and she did conceive other children.
Joseph did not require this of her because the angel had already told him what was going on (Matt 1.19-25). She had talked to Zachariah and Elisheva and they knew Messiah was coming. The angel had visited Zachariah and was told the Messiah was coming, and their son Yochanon would be "Elijah" who would come before the coming of the Messiah. This ceremony would have happened in the Temple. We know that Zachariah was deaf and dumb until Yochanon was named at his circumcision (Luke 1.59-64).
Miriam did not need to convince Joseph because he knew she was a virgin and was told as much by an angel that he should not be afraid to take Miriam as his wife because that which has been conceived in her was by the Ruach Ha Kodesh. She would bear a son and they were to call him Yeshua, for shall save his people from their sins. This fulfilled the prophecy in Isa 7.14. Was the ceremony a sign to everyone that this was true? Yeshua claimed to be the Messiah, and you don't see the priests, scribes or any Temple officials contest the virginity of his mother. Could there have been a record in the Temple of her voluntary submission to the Sotah ceremony?
We will pick up with our next Torah portion in Part 8.

It almost become a tradition to get a makeup item as a Christmas gift for my professional makeup artist kit. Or probably it's just an excuse to buy something even though I don't really need it… And for me it's very important that only the best products and the items that I will get a lot of use out of it would make it to my kit.
I checked most of the holiday palettes from different makeup brands, but decided to stick with MAC. Since all MAC shadows I had before, were in the singe form (and I am addicted to palettes) I got 15 pan eye shadow palette and filled it with new colours. Most of the colours I chose are matte finish, will work perfectly for natural of bridal work. And couple of more unique colours, because experimenting is in my blood :)
That's the colours that made it to the palette:
I row in the palette:
- Brule (matte soft and pale creamy nude)
- Yogurt (matte cool tone pale pink)
- Wedge (matte slightly warm medium taupe - brown)
II row in the palette:
- All that glitters (shimmery warm tone champagne with a hint of pink)
- Soba (golden brown with gold shimmer)
- Cork (matte medium golden brown)
III row in the palette:
- Nylon (frosty very pale gold)
- Wood-winked (shimmery medium yellow toned bronze)
- Espresso (matte cool toned dark brown)
IV row in the palette:
- Bitter (matte lime green)
- Coppering (shimmery burned orange)
- Brown Down (matte warm medium/dark brown)
V row in the palette:
- Vex (shimmery cool tone pale beige with pink-green pearl)
- Haux (matte medium mauve brown)
- Sketch (matte burgundy shadow with a red shimmer)
What did you get for Christmas? :)
Yours truly,

We all see the photos on social media - our friends purchasing homes. Everyone is smiling, bottles of champagne are being held, keys proudly displayed. It looks like the American dream, right? Would it surprise you to learn that 51% of homeowners regretted something about their home purchase? If you are thinking about purchasing a home in the near future, here are some ways to claim a spot among the other happily content 49%.
How many beds and baths a home has is far from the only criteria to consider when looking for a home. There is a big difference between a 1,200 square foot 3/2 home versus a 3/2 that's 2,200 sq. ft. in the practical livability for your family. 33% of surveyed homeowners reported regretting not buying a bigger home. This doesn't mean that the home wasn't the correct size for the family initially. Starting a home-based business, the addition of a child or two, or an aging parent joining the home can overturn the best-laid plans. When our Team conducts a buyer consult, we always ask what the short- and long-term plans are for that specific home. Do you plan on staying in this home 1-5 years? 5 years plus? Or will this be your FOREVER home? Based on the answer to this question, we strive to design an aggressive home-buying plan. If you think that larger square footage may be necessary in the future, our best advice would be to purchase a home where there is room and/or land to expand accordingly.
Once you've decided on the size and plan for your new home, the next most important question to ask is "where do we want to live?" Do you want to live close to family, or as far away as possible to avoid the "casual" pop-ins? Is there a certain school district that's important for you and your family to remain in? What about proximity to work; what length commute are you comfortable committing to daily? The only thing you can't change about a home (in nearly all cases) is LOCATION. It's crucially important to drive the streets of a potential neighborhood, both at peak and off-hours, to determine the traffic and navigability. Also, walk around and speak to some people in the neighborhood about whether they enjoy living there as well or not. Asking questions like "how long have you lived here?" can provide great insight into a neighborhood's turn-over. And nothing will make a house feel like a home more than a "homey-neighborhood vibe".
Another important piece of the "Purchase Puzzle" is selecting a lender. Any professional Realtor will be quick to explain that not all lenders are created equal. Not by a long shot. Each lender and lending company will have different programs that may or may not suit your buying needs and the most important factors for you and your family. Is having the lowest interest rate to help keep your monthly payments as low as possible the most important? Or is paying less money out-of-pocket at closing to prepare for repairs and/or renovations a higher priority? A large portion of first-time homebuyers don't know or didn't know when purchasing their home, that you can and should shop lenders' rates and programs. Some lenders can provide programs that provide 100% financing, while others may offer Closing Cost contributions. The key is to do your research and contact as many lenders as necessary to find the appropriate fit for YOU.
Once you have selected a lender that best suits your particular needs, it's imperative to determine your pre-approval amount. The lender, unless told differently, will review your credit and debt-to-income ratio to come up with an amount they believe you can afford. However, another way to determine your pre-approval target amount is to speak with your lender about the monthly payment you feel comfortable committing to. Review your budget! Just because you can spend more, doesn't necessarily mean you need to! Even if you can qualify without difficulty for a $2,000 monthly payment, you may feel more comfortable in the $1,500 range. When you let your lender know that crucial info, he/she can back into that monthly payment amount and tell you a price-point to stay within to remain on target. Having a clear price-point in mind will allow you to move into the "search" stage of your house hunt confident that you won't be looking at homes outside of your comfort zone.
As always, it's even more clear that hiring a professional Realtor to help assist you with your home buying needs is the smartest and most efficient route to make owning your new home a reality!

At Leasing Business we know that leasing office equipment offers a great number of the benefits to your company. Financial experts agree that these are a few of the key reasons that your company should lease office equipment:
Guards against obsolescence
With the constant improvements in computer operating systems it is best to have the flexibility to easily update peripheral equipment like multi-functional printers. Leasing allows your company to automatically stay up-to-date with computer operating systems. Leasing also insures that your company will use the latest scanning and printing technologies to maximize your productivity.
Preserves working capital
By leasing you pay for office equipment the same way that you pay for electricity and payroll expenses. Pay for office equipment as you receive the benefits. Instead of paying for five years of use all at once, pay for the use of your business equipment one month at a time.
Lower overall costs
A common misconception is that your overall cost for leasing office equipment is higher than purchasing office equipment. In nearly all cases, your overall cost is lower when you compare leasing office equipment to purchasing office equipment.
The overall cost of acquiring office equipment is composed of the lease or purchase cost plus the maintenance cost. The maintenance cost for office equipment must increase each year to account for the rising cost of parts and labor due to the increased number of service calls on old equipment. Basically, the older office equipment gets; the more it costs to maintain the equipment. Any higher total acquisition costs of leasing is usually off-set by the higher maintenance costs of keeping old equipment.
Flexibility to change
The only constant in business is change. We have all heard this old saying, but it directly applies to your office equipment needs. As your needs change you can keep your company's equipment up to date.
Proactive expense management
Most companies that use a purchasing strategy for office equipment keep the equipment as long as the equipment can be kept in operation. When the equipment can no longer be kept functioning, the result is an unplanned cash outlay which frequently has no advanced warning. Leasing allows companies to replace equipment before it's useful life is over so there are no unplanned expenses or capital purchases.
Potential Tax advantages
For many companies, leasing provides tax advantages since operating lease payments can be deducted as business expenses.
Please consult your professional tax advisor to determine whether your company has better tax advantages from leasing than purchasing.

Talking about money makes most of us squirm even when we have time to prepare.
Think back for a moment. How did you feel the last time a friend or coworker asked how much you were making? Or maybe you're crafty and you sell cool earrings on Etsy. Do you feel weird telling your friends what they cost because you have this sinking feeling you should be giving your stuff away, not selling it.
Trust me I get it. Being direct about money isn't comfortable for most of us.
JenNash Shareable: "Get comfortable talking about your fees, rates, etc. and you'll be paid back in spades."
Last week I made it to a networking event outside of Manhattan, to support a friend who runs it. As a way of introducing themselves, every attendee stood up and took one minute to explain what they did, and what kind of clients or referrals were a "win" for them. Pretty cool idea I thought. Seemed like a great way to get a bunch of people in a room and quickly explain your business model.
After we'd gone around the room, Julie, a young stylist stood up and gave a 10 minute presentation on her company. She explained how she worked with clients and detailed how she could rework some outfits or do an overhaul on an entire wardrobe and take her clients on shopping trips. Julie gave us the full scoop before she wrapped up her presentation and sat down.Oddly enough… she never once mentioned what she charged.
So of course, I asked her what she charged.
Her eyes literally rolled back in her head for a second, as she braced herself for "that uncomfortable conversation." I couldn't help myself as I thought, "There's that face… the 'I hate talking about money' face!" And that's exactly what it was. But she took a deep breath and ran the room through the different pricing structures she offered. Her rates seemed reasonable to me, so I gotta wonder why the discomfort.
Do we think we should be working for free?
Are we embarrassed to charge a "reasonable" rate?
Do we think that whatever number we share will somehow alienate everyone within a 1000 mile radius?
Or do we think more people will like us if our rates are lower?
We can't work for free. Our pricing won't alienate people. And people won't like us more just because if we're more affordable.
If your work, goods or services are worth $500 people will happily pay $500 for them. They'll be delighted to pay $300 as well, but the lower price isn't likely to win you any friends or clients. If anything being perceived as overly affordable makes people wonder "What's wrong with that company? Why are they so cheap?" In my blog post "Best business advice I got after graduating from University" I talked about how it's better to always figure out what number will make you happy. If your client needs a lower price, trust me they'll make that happen. You don't need to assist them in undercutting yourself.
JenNash Shareable: "Argue for your limitations (financial or other) & they'll be yours! Start shooting for the moon & you'll always come home with stars."
Ready to see how bold you are when it comes to talking about money?
Ask a friend what they make and ask them how they got that salary. Was it what HR offered or did they go online and research the different salary ranges offered to that specific position?
Talk about it. Like two grown humans who aren't walking away from something that smells nasty-funky.
Want even more of a challenge?
- Tell a female family member you've realized women don't discuss money enough and ask her to tell you about her financial life. What percentage is she saving for retirement? How is she saving it? See if she'll break it all down, and maybe even tell you what she makes.
If we don't start getting comfortable talking about money when it's low stress (with friends and families) how can we expect to feel grounded and secure when we're negotiating a contract with HR or a new client?
You can do this, I'm 100% behind you and I'm curious to hear how it goes.
I hope you'll share your thoughts and experiences below.

Alex Katz
An exhibition featuring prints by North American artist Alex Katzwill be held at Luciana Brito Galeria from 27 April to 12 June. This will be his first solo show in Brazil, and for this reason, the aim is to offer a retrospective view of his work by means of his most significant prints, produced between 1968 and 2010.
One of the most influential contemporary artists working with the figure, Alex Katz dedicated himself to making portraits and landscapes even during the full sway of abstract expressionism, when it was widely believed that figurative art had nothing left to offer.
Having declared an admiration for Matisse's collages and for the work of Japanese printmaker Kitagawa Utamaro, the artist was readily able to transpose his particular manner of painting (assuming and evidencing the bidimensionality of the support) to printmaking in the 1960s, producing editions through the use of woodcut, silkscreen, lithography and aquatint. The recognized importance of his graphic work is the subject of a retrospective exhibition happening at the Albertina Museum (Vienna) between May 28 and September 19. A catalogue raisonné regarding his printed oeuvre will be published in 2011 by Hatje Cantz.
The themes pictured in his work are based mainly on the artist's house and environs in the state of Maine, his family and friends, and, especially, his wife Ada. His flat, colorful and stylized figures and landscapes display everyday, essentially North American characteristics, inflected by commercial art, film, and television. Despite this, Alex Katz's work has never fit into any trend nor involved the discussions proposed by pop art. According to Adam Weinberg, director of the Whitney Museum of American Art, "He quickly realized what he was about and was absolutely undaunted and single-minded in that pursuit."
Alex Katz's interest in dance, fashion and cinema is notable in his work – the portrayed figures sometimes appear repeatedly, suggesting a choreography or sequence. They wear clothes and accessories that often provide the titles to the works themselves (as is true of White Hat, Green Jacket,Ada with Sunglasses and Wedding Dress, artworks in the exhibition atLuciana Brito Galeria). And the unexpected framing of their faces is reminiscent of cinematographic and photographic close-ups.
Massimiliano Gioni,curator at the New Museum in New York, comments that Alex Katz's works are "silent, his characters distant and enigmatic as sphinxes, for Katz is not interested in illustration or in description. (...) Instead, his fascination with figures incorporates traces of both Abstract Expressionism and Modernist painting, while also absorbing the pressure of popular culture, with its uncontrollable urge to transform images into icons."
Born in 1927 in Brooklyn, Alex Katz is one of the most important artists of his generation. A graduate of the Cooper Union Art School in 1949, the artist received a scholarship to attend the Skowhegan School for Painting and Sculpture. He has lived and worked in New York since 1968, spending his summers in Lincolnville, Maine.
His work has been featured in more than 200 solo and 500 group shows. Alex Katz has had retrospective exhibitions at renowned venues such as the Whitney Museum of American Art (New York), Brooklyn Museum of Art (New York), Albertina Museum (Vienna), Carnegie Museum of Art (Pittsburgh), Brandhorst Museum (Munich), Institut Valencià d'Art Modern (Valencia) and Saatchi Gallery (London). His artworks are part of important public collections such as that of the Centre Georges Pompidou (Paris), the Tate Collection (London), Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia (Madrid), Daros Foundation (Zürich), Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York) and Museum of Modern Art (New York). Alex Katz has been conferred various awards, including the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship (1972) and the Lifetime Achievement Award of the Queens Museum of Art (1987). In 2007, he received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Academy Museum in New York.
The exhibition catalog includes poems by Vincent Katz, the son of the artist. Vincent Katz is a poet, translator and art critic, author of eleven books, including Rapid Departures, with poems created in Brazil. He received the National Award for Translation in 2005 by the American Literary Translators Association for his book of translations from Latin The Complete Elegies of Sextus Propertius. He was awarded a Rome Prize Fellowship in Literature at the American Academy in Rome for 2001 and 2002 and was a Guest of the Director for a one-month residency at the American Academy in Berlin. Vincent Katz curated an exhibition on Black Mountain College at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid. He is the publisher and editor of the poetry and arts journal VANITAS and of Libellum books. The author will be in São Paulo and presents poetry reading at Luciana Brito Galeria (by invitation only).

Full Time Report
A superb performance from Josh Drinkwater ensured Catalans Dragons continued their revival as they claimed a 32-12 Betfred Super League win over Widnes Vikings.
The former Leigh half-back kicked six goals and had a hand in three tries as the Dragons came from behind to secure a fifth win in a row.

In Francis Cummins' first game in interim charge following Denis Betts' sacking last week, Widnes were looking to halt a losing streak that ran back to March but they failed to cross over after the break following first-half tries from Jay Chapelhow and Rhys Hanbury.
Danny Craven added a conversion to the opening score as the visitors took an early six-point lead before Hanbury's effort made it 10-0 but Catalans hit back through Tony Gigot, and Brayden Wiliame levelled the scores following a Louis Anderson break as Drinkwater kicked them ahead.

Six minutes after half-time Patrick Ah Van added a penalty as Widnes levelled the scores at 12-12 but further tries from Remi Casty, Kenny Edwards and Fouad Yaha put the Dragons out of reach.
Widnes interim coach Francis Cummins said: "It was a tough day at the office, obviously I'm disappointed at the moment.
"We started the game well and put ourselves in a real good position and we had a couple of opportunities for another few tries and we could have been up by 20 points but it wasn't to be.

"I've got some young men in there who are learning their trade and I'm really proud of them, but you can't keep giving Catalans the ball and letting them roll back that quick."
Catalans head coach, Steve McNamara said: "I'm really pleased with the two points, I think the last few weeks, there have been some huge games for us in the overall context of our season and to go 10-nil down early and look a little bit lethargic, I thought our response from that was tremendous.

"I thought the real change for us today was our bench. (Julian) Bousquet, (Antoni) Maria, (Louis) Anderson and (Kenny) Edwards really changed the dynamics of the game for us."

There is a scene I always think of in the Bourne Supremacy when I am running. In the beginning of the movie, Matt Damon is running on the beach and then all of a sudden, he kicks it into high gear and turns into a sprinting machine. I started running recently and am doing my best to stick to it, but I know in my heart that I will always loathe distance running. I've always been a sprinter and will always be a sprinter. So in my head, I am Jason Bourne-ing my runs just in case I ever need to go fight bad guys and uncover conspiracies.
This week's drill is a one built to work both agility and speed. Adding this drill to your weekly practice can improve your footwork in multiple directions and then kick you into high gear in a forward action. Below are the steps to execute along with some tips!
Pro Tips
- Use your whole body to perform the drill: swing your arms and drive the actions with both your hips and legs.
- Look up! Train as if you were training for your sport, so don't be caught looking at your feet when you could be focusing your eyes on what is happening around you.
- Form over speed: do a run through once or twice at a slower pace to get the rhythm and form right. Speed in these drills won't benefit you if you are running through them like a wacky waving inflatable tube man. Once you've gotten a handle on technique, go for speed.
Weave N' Sprint
You will need 10 cones. Set the first 5 cones about a foot apart, then the other five 50 yards away in a straight line in the same manner. Start at one end and while facing forward the entire drill, weave quickly through the first 5 cones then sprint to the end of the last cone set. Turn around and repeat from the other side so that you end where you began. That is 1 rep. Repeat this drill 6 to 8 times total.
Got it? Good. Let's go Jason Bourne-ing.

Forget Orange, side hustle is the new black. Everybody has one or wants one and to be honest, who wouldn't?
Seriously. Not only does it give you another source of income, but it also allows you to be as creative as you might not get a chance to be in your everyday 9-5.
You're basically your own boss and have complete control of when you work and what you will create.
It's the epitome of #living but when you still have to work your day job, it can be difficult to balance the two, especially when you need to make your side hustle boom.
If any of these resonate with you, then worry no more. I have some secrets to making life a little easier when juggling your 9-5 and your 5-9.
Have you ever heard of planning before you plan? Because it's what you need to do to make sure you're successful.
Confusing, eh? Let me explain.
Most people will, at the most, write down the things they need to do, not factoring in their availability. When you're working your side hustle, you have to be aware of every little minute of free time.
How many hours do you have free?
Write out your schedule starting with the time you usually wake in the morning until your typical bedtime.
If you wake at 7:00 AM to workout, 7:45 AM to mediate, 8:00 AM to shower, and 9:00 AM to leave home, then write it down.
Write everything you do and review the list to see how you can rearrange and adjust it to work on your side gig.
Put a star next to the important, non-negotiable activities and work around those.
I have used both Todoist and Wunderlist to schedule my daily activities. These apps work wonders with keeping me organized.
Pair that with Sunrise Calendar or Google Calendars and you have your own personal assistant. Not really, but ya know, close enough.
For serious side hustlers, think about talking to your manager about working half days, getting off early, or shortening your work week.
If that's not possible, look into using some of your off time.
I can't tell you how much time this saves especially when you're preoccupied working at your day job. Not only will it save you time, but if used right, it will increase your income.
Email Marketing
One of the main reasons to build your list, is to create a connection and maintain contact with your subscribers.
Studies have shown that people need to hear from you at least 7 times before they buy anything from you. Email marketing makes this possible by automating the content you send out to your subscribers.
You can schedule things weeks or months in advance and even decide which group of people will receive certain information or offers.
This is great for a 9-5er because you can dedicate one day to creating content to send out for the entire month, which is time saving and keeps you in contact even when you're truly not available.
Your job will be selecting the best email marketing provider based on your needs for subscribers, deliverability, and pricing.
There are many different options for email marketing but some of the popular options are:
Social Media Management
Another lifesaver to help you juggle your 9-5 and side gig. It's all about taking things off your plate, to make it a lot easier for you.
Just as the email marketing, social media management does the exact same thing but through your particular social media channels.
Just as you would allocate time to creating content for your email marketing, you can also dedicate time to creating social media posts.
You can schedule posting times for Pinterest or schedule time and caption for an Instagram post.
This was a tough one for me because I'm used to operating in chaos (I've been conditioned.. .don't judge me) but I knew that organization was ABSOLUTELY needed. This will work wonders for you especially with the limited time you have available.
Look into having your business in a one-stop shop. Instead of having multiple applications and programs, it can all be housed for you in one spot.
It's totally worth it when thinking about what's important when it comes to investing in your business.
Check out:
These all-in-one business management applications can take payments, create forms, bookkeeping, calendars, email signatures, and contracts just to name some features. Find which option is best for you and implement it.
Lastly, but definitely not leastly.
What?! That doesn't work?
Building your team. Having someone on your team to help assist you will allow you to focus on other areas of the business and will bring in the money.
If you have a family member or friend who can assist with daily activities, that would also lessen your load. If you don't have that luxury or prefer not to go that route (I totally understand) then look into hiring a virtual assistant.
Look into:
You can set a budget per week or per hour and inform the assistant what you need help with. One thing that's big for me is responding to customers such as if they need help with making or editing a payment, then someone should be able to respond very quickly.
At times, I am unable to respond due to meetings or workshops, therefore hiring an assistant to assist with these type of activities, will not only take that task off my current workload but will also ensure that customers know that they are important.
Decide what you are comfortable with delegating and locate someone to assist you with the tasks.
Now that you are equipped with what you need to make your side-hustle run smoothly while you're at you day job, I want to hear from you.

"Frankenhooker": A gory horror-camp twist on the Frankenstein legend & the first film rated "S"
Frank Henenlotter's 1990 film Frankenhooker is the kind of movie — a gory horror-camp twist on Mary Shelley's Frankenstein legend — that might have aired on the USA Network's "Night Flight," if it had come out originally sometime back in the 80s. We thought we'd take a look back at the first film the MPAA ratings board ever rated "S."
The plot sounded promising enough:
James Lorinz plays Jeffrey Franken, a New Jersey Gas & Electric worker and medical school dropout, whose fiancée Elizabeth (Patty Mullen) is chopped to bits by the blades of a remote-controlled runaway lawnmower, so he decides to use his dubious medical knowledge to try to bring her back to life. Unfortunately, he was only able to save her head, so he goes to the red light district in the city and lures prostitutes into a hotel room with wads of cash and bags of drugs so he can get the needed spare parts for his girlfriend.
He reassembles his beloved Elizabeth using the body parts of New York City's finest prostitutes, and resurrects her during a heavy lightning storm. Unfortunately for Jeffrey, his dear Elizabeth's brain is scrambled and she runs amok on 42nd Street, turning tricks and bringing high-voltage death to her customers!
Okay, so… maybe not that promising.
Frankenhooker's initial release was delayed because of difficulty obtaining an R rating from the MPAA; the director — the creator of the Basket Case trilogy and 1988's Brain Damage — recalled that one representative of the MPAA ratings board actually said, in a phone call to the production company's secretary, "Congratulations, you're the first film rated S."
She asked, "S? For sex?" And they told her, "No, S for shit."
In 2014, Rob Hunter over at his blog Film School Rejects offered up a funny point-by-point assessment ("18 Things We Learned From the 'Frankenhooker' Commentary") provided by the co-writer/director, Frank Henenlotter, and lead actor, James Lorinz, for the Frankenhooker DVD, released in 2011:
1. "This was never meant to be a horror film," says Henenlotter. Apparently he received complaints that the film is so bloodless, but he dismisses the complainers because he set out to make a comedy. "I thought it was a war film," adds Lorinz.
2. The opening brain that Jeffrey (Lorinz) is experimenting on was based on the poster for the movie The Brain That Wouldn't Die. It doesn't appear in that film though, so Henenlotter recreated it here. He also still has the scalpel we see stabbing into it.
3. This was Henenlotter's first SAG film meaning he was using actors who were members of the guild, but he ran into some trouble as the girls the guild was sending were not inclined to do nudity. "Or, you didn't want them to do nudity," he adds. So he went to Billy's Topless Bar looking for girls instead, and a short while later he had several strippers signed on, each of them hired for specific degrees of nudity. SAG ended up making each of them members.
4. The hand seen in the opening credits belongs to Henenlotter. Meaning it's his hand as opposed to a hand he owns.
5. The film was made back to back with Basket Case 2, and both movies were shot at New York City's Pier 40. "At the time it was a depot for diesel trucks," Henenlotter says, and he was told by everyone that it wouldn't work because it was too noisy to record sound. The concrete cinder blocks actually kept things fairly quiet.
6. Louise Lasser had to use cue cards as a sickness prevented her from learning her lines. Her voice was also extremely gruff forcing them to ADR most of her lines. They also used stand-ins for some over-the-shoulder scenes including Jeffrey's most sincere and serious moment… that found him having to act across from the film's special effects artist, Gabe Bartalos. [Louise Lasser appears briefly as Jeffrey's mother]
7. Henenlotter used the fake title Frankenstein '90 in official communications (and on copies of the script) for the sole purpose of avoiding trouble related to people's reactions to the actual title. It helped when they went looking for props, locations and other necessities.
8. The film ran into trouble when it went before the MPAA ratings board, and Henenlotter recalls then head of the board Richard Heffner calling the production company and saying "Congratulations, you are the first film rated 'S' for shit." Producer James Glickenhaus fought back and brought the feud public. The MPAA ultimately gave the film an 'X' rating. Inexplicably. They refused it and released their film unrated instead. On the bright side, Heffner died last year.
9. They eventually cut an 'R' rated film to market in addition to the unrated, and one of the trims needed to secure the 'R' was to limit the exploding prostitutes to six from the uncut version's total of, wait for it, seven.
10. The scene where Jeffrey goes driving looking for ladies of the night to provide body parts was filmed in what is now Tribeca. It was a much different place then though, and they got the shots from the open door of a moving van. "These are real hookers," says Henenlotter (three times) to which Lorinz adds "And they're in SAG now."
11. The song playing on the radio during the impromptu dance party with the hookers and the drugs is called "Never Say No" which seemed fitting for all the hookers not saying no to the drugs.
12. They had numerous body parts on set as props and such, and while some were flexible and more functional others were stiff like mannequin limbs. Someone stole the flexible ones though forcing them to use the even further from realistic ones in the laboratory scenes.
13. Henenlotter gave out the fake breasts as parting gifts at the end of the film's production. He signed them first of course, and to this day my Ebay searches for one have come up empty.
14. The film cost $1.5 million making it Henenlotter's most expensive (at the time), but there were still budgetary issues. The producers told him they had used up all of the allotted funds for pyrotechnics during the exploding hookers scene to which he replied "How the fuck am I gonna film the lab scene?!" He ended up calling in a favor to do some "unlicensed pyrotechnics" for the shoot. Lorinz recalls the guy finishing the setup and telling him "Don't worry, it's maybe safe."
15. Once the Frankenhooker creation (Patty Mullen) is walking and talking every one of her lines is something that had been previously spoken by the prostitutes.
16. Her first encounter with a paying john features David Lipman who also had a small role in Glickenhaus' The Exterminator where he played a pervert. "He's also the Miracle Whip man," adds Lorinz, referring to a string of commercials Lipman did for the product. "Just the kind of spokesman you want to have for your dressing."
17. The purple nipple reveal during her initial strip down originally included purple pubic hair as well. "We kept dying [the body double's] pubic hair to get the right color purple," says Henenlotter, "but I took it out." As with the full frontal nudity he trimmed from the earlier hooker party scene he felt the graphic nature of it stepped all over the humor.
18. The final shot — "the surprise ending!" per Lorinz — required he spend five hours secured into the table and prosthetic body. He recalls having to pee into coffee cups.
Additional "Best in Commentary" parting shots:
Henenlotter: "This film was very difficult to make because of the war I had with the DP."
Lorinz: "I hope they cut that out, what I said." [referring to something they did indeed cut out involving actresses and porn]
Lorinz: "Louise Lasser was extolling on the love-making skills of Woody Allen to me."
Henenlotter: "If we ever did a sequel that's all I would do is blow up more hookers."

On May 3, Your Call Football debuted its play calling app for the first time in a live game. Two teams named Power and Grit, composed of former players from heavyweight programs like Alabama, Notre Dame, and USC, squared off against each other at Historic Dodgertown, a multi-sport facility in Vero Beach, Florida. And every play was called by fans.
As the game kicked off, Your Call Football President Julie Meringer was nervous. The system had been rigorously tested with virtual fans, but this was a real game.
"Are you kidding me," exclaimed Meringer when asked about that first true test. "The whistle blows, the head referee starts the game and you just sit there with a pit in your stomach staring at your phone."
Your Call Football uses a zero-latency app for everything, users will see a countdown clock when the tech is working correctly. "It felt like an eternity for me to see that on my phone, when in fact, it wasn't an eternity," Meringer said.
When George Colony founded YCF, he wanted it to achieve five major goals: have no hitches in the technology, stream with very little latency, secure great players, produce a professional product, and, of course, be fun.
"I would say that if you asked me a year ago, 'how's this all going to work out?' I would've said, 'hey, the chances of all those five happening are probably fifty percent,'" Colony said. "So I'm pretty blown away that we've been able to play those odds so well and it worked."
Over a three-game series in May, fans called roughly 295,000 plays and picked up $50,000 in prizes. Two YCF players were signed to NFL rosters as a result of the exposure they got from YCF—Grit defensive tackle Ashaad Mabry to the Panthers and Power tight end Wes Saxton to the Lions. Five more players were invited to NFL minicamps, and seven more were signed to the CFL.
7 points for the fans who picked this run play in the 2nd quarter of last Thursday's game. Great call! #YourCallFootball #CallThePlays pic.twitter.com/UMEHjfDAlS
— Your Call Football (@YourCallFB) May 9, 2018
There were still some issues with the product, though. The YouTube stream of the games didn't run smoothly, but Merigner believes that is easily fixable.
Coaches Merril Hoge and Mike Sherman were frustrated, too, though that had nothing to do with the technology. "Mike was pissed at his players, there were a lot of dropped balls," Meringer said. "They were unfazed by the technology. If anything, what was cool was the players were more fazed by it in a positive way. They were out on social media afterwards telling the fans 'call the plays so I can catch them!'"

Next on the plan for Your Call Football is evaluating a second series in the fall and continuing with two series on an annual basis. Perhaps the general theme and technology could even be used for something like the Pro Bowl. "I think yes, people are asking us questions," Meringer said. "So I'll leave it at that."

Reality – My fears are not reality. Social media and photos in dreamy lighting are not reality. The drama I make up in my head isn't reality. Reality is now. Reality is getting up and living life - physically putting my hands into the Earth's soil, savoring every sip of my latte, listening deeply to someone who is speaking to me. I want to live more in reality, more in the now.
Giving and receiving – Every hour of the day I close off in one way or another. I close my heart to others because I'm busy or I'm scared or I have something I don't want to reveal. I've been meditating on openness, on choosing to open myself to giving what I didn't think I could give and receiving with grace whatever comes to me. I want to let life flow through me more and more without clinging to some things and pushing away others.
Abundance, sufficiency, scarcity – I've been challenged by a class I'm taking in Conscious Social Change to consider what these words mean to me and how I approach the resources at my disposal. When do I feel a sense of abundance? Where does my sense of scarcity come from? Is this based in reality? To me, abundance is tied to the ability to dream.
Healing – I'm finding that healing is so multi-faceted - it is not just on one level, but on so many. Wounds in one area affect all areas. To truly heal, we must face our bodies, our fears, our identities, our emotions, our beliefs, our habits. To heal, we must not ignore the wounds and pain, but approach them with tenderness and curiosity.
Peace – Peace is a word always on my mind. It's a word around which I plan to revolve my life. It started with the world and now it's become about me. I see the world in myself and I see my inner conflicts played out in the world. How can I attempt to make peace out there when I have so much work to do in here?

I was delighted to see a three-page article (News Focus) in TESS (17 May) on the results of the recent Scottish Survey of Literacy and Numeracy and the importance that reading for pleasure can play in improving literacy standards.
However, I was disappointed to see that the role school librarians can play in developing a culture of reading in schools was omitted.
School Librarians are experts on reading for pleasure and the important role they can play must be highlighted at every opportunity.
School librarians are capable of putting the right book into the right child's hand at the right time. By working with departments across their schools and with outside agencies such as the Scottish Book Trust, school librarians can help to transform those children who are disengaged from books and reading.

Turns out I love bean sprouts, I just don't like Chinese mung bean sprouts (also known as nga choi or silver sprouts) where mung beans are tightly packed together & sprouted in darkness, which is how they get their crunchy texture. Bean sprouts grown on a sunny windowsill are sweeter & more tender, only take a couple of days & are an absolute doddle to make!
Bean sprouts are whole beans, nuts or seeds that have been soaked, drained & rinsed until they germinate (sprouted barley grains is an essential part of beer making. The grains are soaked & sprouted to activate the enzymes that will turn the starches into fermentable sugars & kiln dried. Then they get made into beer. Delicious beer.). They are rich in easily digestible vitamins, minerals & protein and are a great addition to salads, sandwiches, stews, stir-fries, bakes, breads... almost anything really!
There are a few different ways of growing beansprouts. If you're a big fan of eating them, it might be worth getting yourself a 3 tiered sprouter like the one pictured above (a Being Fare 3 shelf sprouter. I have this out on my windowsill all the time!). You can buy sprouting jars, but they are really easy to make yourself. All you need is a large, wide-necked clear glass jar (an old pickle jar will do), an elastic band & a square of muslin large enough to comfortably cover the top of the jar.
So now you need something to sprout. There are lots of different seeds & beans that sprout really well, and in future posts I'll go into more detail about them.
You'll also need to bear in mind what quantity of sprouts you'll have. Too many seeds & they will be too tightly packed in the jar, it wont drain properly, and then there will be mould. dreadful, awful mould. So here's a guideline for what will fit comfortably in your jar or sprouter:
Seeds: 2-3tbs (30-45ml)
Beans: 1/4-1/2 cup (I use a little Chinese teacup to measure out my seeds.)
Before you go bedways one evening, measure out your seeds/pulses into your jar or sprouter. Check for broken seeds or bits of grit, give them a quick rinse to wash off any dust & put them & then cover with water (plenty of water, they will swell to double their size overnight).
Next morning drain off the water (it's full of nutrients, so I use it to water my plants. You could use it for making your breakfast smoothies too though). Rinse the seeds thoroughly & drain, and really make sure that the seeds are properly drained. You can even tilt your jar over a bowl or by the sink & leave it for a few minutes to make sure it's all drained. Poorly drained seeds means the dreaded mould (though that doesn't happen often, and its mostly when dealing with small seeds). Place on a sunny windowsill & leave. In the evening, give it another rinsing & draining.
After a few days, you'll have sprouts! Different seeds & pulses take differing amounts of time to sprout (a good source of sprouting information can be found here). But seeds like alfalfa will take a couple of days (they're ready to eat when the sprouts are around 1" long), beans will take a day or two longer. Generally speaking, if you start sprouting on a sunday, you'll be eating them by midweek. Yum!

Vme Upfront 2011-2012
Original content, brand entitlements and viewer engagement headline event
May 19, 2011, 05:17 ET
NEW YORK, May 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Today at Vme's experiential upfront event, the 2011-2012 programming line-up was introduced to a packed house. At the Samsung Experience in New York's Time Warner Center, Vme underscored its commitment to serve the diversity of today's Hispanic market, introducing a slate of original programming in all genres and a deep pipeline of exclusive world-class programs that speaks to the hearts and minds of today's diverse Hispanic market.
As the fourth largest Spanish network in the U.S. reaching more than 10 million Hispanic Homes, Vme reaches bicultural and bilingual Latinos as well as those who are Spanish-dominant. In a recent viewer engagement study conducted by Nielsen, Spanish TV viewers placed Vme ahead of the three largest Spanish networks for "higher quality programming," as "more in-line with their lifestyle" and for "offering a positive portrayal of the Latino community." Viewers in the study also ranked Vme at the top for offering "unique programming that they can't find elsewhere" and saying that "Vme programming is more engaging."
Ten Brand Entitlements
With its extensive original programming line-up, Vme is offering ten brand entitlements where brands can organically integrate into the set, become part of the program and share in the name of the show. With programs in every genre, Vme is creating a forum in which brands can showcase their attributes and connect with Hispanic consumers of all ages and demographics through relevant content.
"In today's landscape, brands are looking for content and properties that they can own and Vme has answered this demand with more entitlement opportunities than any other Spanish-language network," said Patty Marrero, SVP and director of sales. "With production studios in Miami, Vme also has the capability of doing branded integrations, customized vignettes, prommercials and hosted pitches all of which provide numerous branding options and value to our marketing partners."
2011-2012 programming highlights
Exclusive Dramas and Specials
Vme presents the Spanish-language exclusive of Los Kennedy, an eight-part docudrama, originally created by The History Channel, chronicling the Kennedy family's key triumphs and tragedies from the 1930s to 1968. The special covers all the historical moments such as the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Bay of Pigs Invasion but it also spends time covering the behind the scenes relationships that made this family so powerful. With an all-star cast including Greg Kinnear, Katie Holmes, Barry Pepper and Tom Wilkinson, Los Kennedy covers several generations of the infamous Kennedy dynasty.
With a production budget of more than $1 million per episode, Piratas is Vme's newest high-caliber drama. Set in the eighteenth century and recorded almost entirely in natural settings in Spain, Piratas charts a course for adventure and misadventure as an unabashed and philandering member of the nobility is enrolled by force in a mission to infiltrate the pirate crew of the legendary Captain Bocanegra. Filled with beautiful ships, sword duels, dungeons, executions, rescues, battles and the race for treasures, Piratas has all the ingredients of a great pirate drama.
Targeting Bicultural and bilingual Hispanics
With Hispanics over-indexing in the use of video games of all kinds, especially bilingual, bicultural young Hispanic males, Vme has developed, in partnership with 40 Principales, another market first – a weekly interactive show for gamers. Premiering later this year, GAME40 will look at the hottest new releases in the video game market in a fast-paced interactive fashion.
For a new twist on extreme sports, Vme presents Red Bull's Cliptomaniacs the most original, unique extreme sports show ever. Hosted by professional adrenaline junkies who don't just present extreme sports -- they live them. Each week Cliptomaniacs will present a different hair-raising stunt from locations around the globe.
E3, a new original production coming July 18, will deliver the latest entertainment news with an all-access pass to today's entertainment headliners. Not your typical gossip show, E3 show covers the world of entertainment from all angles to keep viewers plugged into pop culture and Hollywood headliners. Hosted by Roser Cabanas, E3 will be the foremost authority for real entertainment news in Spanish.
Vme is extending its Nota Musical franchise, with five music specials premiering in July and August, profiling superstars Shakira, Alejandro Fernandez, Miguel Bose.
Original Programming in All Genres
Vme will be adding the new original program Sazon para el Mundo to its daily cooking block, Vme Cocina. Sazon para el Mundo features Vme's popular host, Chef Hamlet Garcia taking the best of international cuisine and giving it a Latin flavor.
Returning this fall, Vme presents a complete line-up of its extensive original top-quality programming in all genres including: TuBeBe, Spanish TV's only show dedicated to parenting, Planeta Feroz, Vme's exclusive award-winning nature programming franchise, Mi Mascota, for the pets in our lives, Estelares Vme, presenting the world's most intelligent, relevant and thought-provoking primetime dramas and comprehensive current affairs and sports programs with Vme Noticias, Vme Deportes, and Jorge Gestoso Investiga.
Popular Primetime Dramas Return
Every night, Vme distinguishes itself with its scripted dramas and big budget productions. Each of Vme's primetime dramas have consistently been among the network's top rated shows every week since Vme started with Nielsen. The top shows include:
Africa de mi Corazon a family-friendly drama traces the adventures of a regular family that has chosen to devote their life to living with and protecting wildlife in Africa; Cuentame Como Paso, Spain's smash hit that is akin to The Wonder Years, this drama for the whole family, follows the small and large moments a middle class family living through the turbulent 60's and 70's; Comisario Rex, one of the most popular programs worldwide is a clever twist on primetime police drama with a brilliant K-9 as the protagonist.
Following Vme's tradition of launching new series throughout the year, the network just began airing Alerta Cobra in April 2011 and will continue this program for another season. In the spirit of The Fast and the Furious, Alerta Cobra, Europe's top cop show, features the most extraordinary and mind-boggling stunt work of any television program ever.
Another one of Vme's most popular primetime dramas returns for another season, Aguila Roja it's lush, romantic, swashbuckling good vs. evil story captivates audiences everywhere. And, later this year, it will become a major motion picture.
Spanish home for World's top Children's Programming
Vme remains the only Hispanic network that dedicates more than four hours a day, six days a week to preschool programming. With the largest slate of preschool programming already on air, Vme will now be the exclusive Spanish-language home for Barney™, Bob the Builder™, Angelina Ballerina™ and Thomas & Friends™.
About Vme
Vme has made the promise to be Contigo to Hispanic families delivering drama, music, sports, news, current affairs, Latin cinema, food, lifestyle, nature and educational preschool content. The 24-hour Spanish network, partnered with public television stations, is currently available in more than 10 million Hispanic homes. Vme is the first venture of the media production and distribution company, Vme Media Inc. To find out more please visit www.VmeTV.com

We read and talk so much about how women feel about their bodies. What about men??
We know they obsess over our bodies. But have you heard them obsess about theirs? Ted Spiker breaks the code of silence and takes you where no woman has gone before.
Dressed only in my underwear, I'm eight years old and sitting on the pediatrician's exam table, waiting for my checkup. My mother points to the two mounds of fatty flesh between my chest and belly. She asks the doctor, "Could they be tumors?"
"No," he says, "it's just fat."
Since that day, my fat has absorbed more darts than the back wall of a bar. Read More>>>

@OfficialPSL-PSL REFEREES MUST STOP DOING KAIZER CHIEFS FAVOURS?
If you can take a look with a referees that were suspended last season most of them were officiating Kaizer Chiefs games, that tells you a lot about favoritism by our referees, Question is for how long are they going to do this? why must other teams suffer because of bad habit by referees? Against Orlando Pirates Lorenzo Godinho fouled Morrison inside the box everyone could see that its a clear penalty but again Victor Gomez is too allergic to charge a penalty against his Favorite team Kaizer Chiefs.
Against Mamelodi Sundowns there were two clear penalties again Lorenzo Godinho was involved together with Willard Katsande and you could tell based on his body language willard Katsande that he is guilty but again Kaizer Chiefs is a big team so they must get the special treatment but its not fair to other teams.

You know what I am a super fan of? High impact with simplistic construction. I am always drawn to things that appear to be overly complicated to assemble but in reality, there really isn't much to them, especially if I'm feeling a need to jumpstart my creative magic.
At the same time, I love things that just beckon to be touched, held, and felt. That would explain why this simple project called to me the moment I laid eyes on sari ribbon.
I'm sure this iconic shape is a dead giveaway as to what was used as a substrate. Upcycling is so on-trend right now, as is drinking fine whiskey. With its lovely "panels" and unique shape, it's the perfect window for showcasing some of the coolest 100 year old paper in my arsenal as well a Relic from the "Regalis" set. Of course, what is a gypsy bottle without charms and danglies?
I like to say I'm an indiscriminate crafter. I like to spread the artsy love by mixing shapes, patterns, and sizes.
Have I told you all how much I just love Verday paint? I'm sure I have but in case you missed it, I love Verday paint! Seriously, as clumsy as I can be, this paint is virtually foolproof and it highlights the sweet details of my resin craft blank like a dream.
And look! More charming danglies!
Did you happen to notice the Dresden trim that accents the tops of these bottles? I'm telling you, it's the bee's knees when it comes to "that little something" your work in progress is jonesin' for.
Because I'm a lover of mixing, I needed a different type of Relic to add for the last bottle, the one I affectionately call, "Li'l Stubby". He's a short little guy but he packs a punch with that vivid pink paint and lace fabric overlay.
If there is one thing I have learned to do, it is to save all jewelry! This shiny floral is an old brooch I bought years ago and stopped wearing.
See what I mean? Don't you just want to dig through all of the cool jars and bottles you may have stashed away? A few pieces of scrap jewelry, some bits and baubles, scrap fabric or sari ribbon, and your favorite Relics & Artifacts® pieces will leave you needing to bust out the mojo and hot glue gun.
Supply List:
Relics & Artifacts® "Regalis"
Relics & Artifacts® "Mythos"
Relics & Artifacts® "Chandelier Pendants III"
Dresden Trim "Gold Connected Fleur"

I'm sitting here watching Hillary Clinton concede her run for the President. As a liberal I'm devastated for America's future. Not because I really wanted Hillary, because honestly I've never trusted her and I supported Bernie Sanders. But this is what happens. This is what happens when Democrats behave as they normally behave…like spineless weasels. They fall in line. Buckle under the pressure. You can't win anything against a man like Donald Trump unless you are willing to fight.
Donald for all his faults, and there are plenty in my mind, didn't say what the ruling body of America wanted him to say. Hillary did. And the whole of the nation is sick and tired of scumbag politicians. To the degree that many were willing to blow the whole thing up. Normally I would be fine with that, the only thing that I worry is for people that don't look like me.
I don't want to see in America's future our country plummet to even lower depths than we already have. I don't want to see my country turn into the thing that many already know it to be. And honestly seeing this man become my new President scares me. It does, I'm trying very hard to hope, but when I think of friends that don't look like me and what they must be feeling right now, it really fucks me up.
On a side note. To all those American pop stars and celebrities that have talked about leaving for Canada or some other place…there is the door. Seriously fuck you too. When you lose, you dust yourself off and go to work the next day. Although I'm getting ready to head back overseas, I think, this time will be even more difficult. How do you leave a home that seems like the whole country is on fire?
I got family that voted for Trump, friends that voted for Trump, all sorts of people voted for this man. My hope is that they didn't vote because they hated the fact a black man was President, but it's hard to see any other reason. When I hear them talk, I hear the anger, I hear the fear, and I hear the want for things to go back to some other time. This makes me fear everything even more.
I honestly think that what we just saw was white people, stand up, and say we are sick of these people that we don't know or relate to, growing and building power and notoriety. I do think that it was a race move. And that is what worries me about America's future. How do you stand beside your home when you genuinely feel that your home is about to be plunged into the dark ages? How do you keep your patriotism when people you care about are in fear of their futures?
I have friends, particularly ones overseas and in liberal hipster bastions all over the the United States and the world that are furious with the results of today. They are terrified of what might happen. They talk about how much they hate America today and how angry they are with people voting for Trump. I understand, completely, but in the end this happened because when we needed someone who had passion and trust of the people, we allowed the establishment to pick who they thought we should have. We buckled under the pressure and didn't make our voices heard.
We want to blame others, we want to point our fingers about America's future. On all sides we are doing this, but in truth we have gotten what we deserve. We have been teetering on insanity for a while now, and I think we got what was coming to us. We don't focus on education, we don't care for our moral center, and we cling to old ways that keep us back, and now we must live with it. Hopefully the rest of the world can live with it too.
To those not from the United States. Those that are watching from afar and astonished at the results. Those that are looking on at our elections and feel the urge to judge us for this HUGE blunder, feel free. But in the end it won't change anything. Because those that generally point the finger, do so so that they don't have to see their own people for who they truly are.
America is the wild west. It always has been and no matter how advanced technologically we become, it always will be. It's a country with conflicting values. One with a questionable future. Vicious and cutthroat and uncompromising. But it's the anxiety and chaos of this, that gives us the power we have. Why we lead in spite of our transgressions. It takes a big ego to be able to push past all those things and still attempt to lead.
In the end it is the fault of my people, and me, and everyone else that is an American citizen. That lies with us.

Coming soon...
Next September we will be conducting our field activities in Mocajuba, located in the lower Tocantins River, Pará State, Brazil. We will use Dtags (acoustic tags) to learn about the biology and ecology of botos (river dolphins) of this region, these animals are under intense anthropogenic pressure. We hope that our results will help to build better conservation strategies for this species, which is a symbol of the Amazon. We will be sharing some of our work in Mocajuba on this blog, like photos, videos and the progress of our activities. Stay tuned.
We will be leading the first effort of tagging the Araguaian boto to learn about their biology and conservation needs
