When investing in stocks, sometimes it pays to go against the herd.
Citi's Javier Guardo is out with his list of most contrarian calls. Earlier, we published his list of contrarian stocks to buy.
Now we present his contrarian stocks to sell. These are stocks Citi rates as sell, but Wall Street's consensus view is more favorable.
Note: Citi calculated its contrarian views relative to consensus by rankings its Sell-rated stocks against ascending mean consensus scores.
Ticker: BAX
Sector: Medical supplies and technology
Why: IVIG -- blood products used to treat immune deficiencies and acute infections -- comparisons are likely to get more difficult in Q4 2011 in a more competitive environment and with Octapharma back on the market. Wall Street forecasts are also too high for 2012.
Analyst: Matthew J. Dodds

Ticker: GIL
Sector: Apparel / footwear / textiles
Why: Higher product costs, pricing discounts and less than optimal production could hit profits harder than expected. But the company's capacity is expected to grow by 50% next year, while the industry is negative.

Abbott Laboratories will be hurt by competition from generic drugs and from a slowdown in Humira's growth
Ticker: ABT
Sector: Medical supplies and technology
Why: Growth of Abbott Labs' Humira, used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, is expected to slow, and generics are expected to hurt the company's lipids franchise over the next 2 years, showing that Wall Street forecasts may be too aggressive. Investor interest is also expected to fade.

Ticker: EHTH
Sector: Health care services
Why: eHealthInsurance's core business is under pressure, applications continue to miss expectations, and the company's commission rates are expected to fall in 2012. The company's recent entry into Medicare distribution offers room for growth in the near-term but individual health insurance commissions are expected to dive again in 2014, when the Dept. of Health and Human services online health exchange goes live no later than January 2014

Ticker: CLS
Sector: Electronics manufacturing services
Why: Electronics manufacturer Celestica draws a large portion of its revenue from Blackberry maker Research in Motion. Continued problems at RIM are expected to hit Celestica and keep them from meeting their target 10% - 15% 2011 revenue growth.
Analyst: Jim Suva

Ticker: BBY
Sector: Retailing - hardlines
Why: Citi analysts reiterate their sell rating for Best Buy because of pressure on its gross profits from commoditizing product channel / competitive pressures i.e. the interchangeability of products and services between companies. There are also long term concerns on its international prospects and a lack of short term catalysts to boost sales.
Analyst: Kate McShane

Ticker: ORA
Sector: Alternative / renewable energy - other
Why: Operational issues are expected to hinder Ormat Technologies' near-term outlook, while growth is expected to be limited because of lack of meaningful power capacity additions in the next couple of years.
Analyst: Timothy M. Arcuri
Source: Citi
Ticker: O
Sector: Real estate investment trust (REIT)
Why: "While O has a strong management team and attractive growth profile, our Sell is predicated on a rich valuation with an implied cap rate in the mid 6's, which is at a premium to private market cap rates."
Analyst: Michael Bilerman
Source: Citi
Ticker: CNSL
Sector: Telecommunications services - wireline
Why: Citi analysts recommend selling Consolidated Communications shares with a target price of $14 because core revenue and income face pressure from competition. Meanwhile, its dividend strategy remains at risk over time because of its leverage.
Analyst: Michael Rollins
Source: Citi
Ticker: YGE
Sector: Alternative / renewable energy - other
Why: "Given significant oversupply, YGE's assets are at significant risk of being written down. This would reduce book value to ~$1.00/share making the stock still trade at a big premium to book in a commodity market with very low ROE."
Analyst: Timothy M. Arcuri
Source: Citi
Corp Office Properties Trust earnings visibility is unclear and it faces changes in senior management
Ticker: OFC
Sector: Real estate investment trust (REIT)
Why: Corp Office's sell rating is based on low earnings visibility because of its government exposure, overfunded dividend, reinvestment risks associated with its asset sale program and changes in senior management. Earnings and dividend risk are potential negative catalysts that need to be resolved before the shares can bottom and then outperform.
Analyst: Michael Bilerman
Source: Citi
Ticker: BHE
Sector: Electronics manufacturing services
Why: Benchmark Electronics' revenue outlook is volatile, repeat releases of its high-end computing program have disappointed investors. Thailand's floods are also expected to affect the company's near term outlook as Thailand's facilities represent 17% of its manufacturing facilities and a large percent of its sales.

Do you ever think that eating healthfully and working out would be easy if it weren't for your spouse or kids? I hear different versions of the same problem all the time: My kids won't eat fruit or veggies; I have to keep cookies in the house for them. Or, my husband is a meat-and-potatoes guy, so I have to cook two separate meals, and I just don't have the time for it. Or, I have a young child and have no time to work out. But there are ways to have a family and be healthy! Check out these tips on how you can make your diet and exercise routine work with your busy life.
Still, he makes sure to be home before dinner, and he never misses a soccer game, a cheerleading performance, or a parent-teacher conference. When he walks in the door, he hugs his wife and kids on the way to the shower, wishing it was a vat of Tiger Balm, because he's in a horrible amount of pain.

Our games in the backyard aren't usually that formal. Often it's my husband and I dribbling the ball around, while the kids try to steal it. This is one of the skills my son is really struggling with in games, so it's helpful as well as fun. Getting the ball from mom or dad isn't the same as getting it away from a crowd of kids more or less his own size, but it helps.

Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock was delighted to see his players go up a gear after the break to take control of their FA Cup replay at Mansfield tonight.
The Bluebirds went in 1-1 after a thrilling first half but netted twice in six minutes to take a grip before adding a late goal to win 4-1.
"I wasn't too disappointed at half-time," he said.
"I thought our attitude was good and that was the main thing. We were just a little bit lethergic and, up front, we were waiting for things to happen rather than make it happen.
"We just said at half-time let's get on the front foot and be positive when we are in their half and I thought we were a lot better in the second half."
Although there was a two-division gap between the teams, Warnock said: "It's hard.
"We were playing a team that had only lost once in 20 games, no matter what division they're in. The way they play you're up against it every other minute.
"You have to compete and in the second half I thought we were super, competing and playing."
Cardiff can now look forward to the visit of Manchester City in round four with Warnock smiling: "You have to beat these teams if you want to win the cup!
"They are probably the best in the world at the moment, so it's great.
"We can't lose whatever the result.
"If I am totally honest, if the draw had been different, we'd have been knocked out.
"But I decided to put out what was almost a full team tonight and we've got our rewards haven't we?
"It's a great reward isn't it, but let's concentrate on the biggest match of the season – Sheffield Wednesday away!"
He added: "A big thank you to the fans tonight. That's the coldest I've ever known it watching a game."

After I asked in my last article the fundamental question whether you can make the Last Planner System® Even more efficient, I now go a little more into detail.
What is the cycle of production planning in the current projects based on the traditional sticky notes?
- All meet in the context of a collaborative meeting for the production planning of the first week.
- After the meeting, the project manager logs all the sticky notes, the contents, and the sequence in an Excel spreadsheet. As a reminder, he still photographs the wall with the notes in the meeting room.
- The week will be processed.
- Necessary discussions and information with the team members will be exchanged by e-mail or telephone.
- At the end of the week, everyone will meet again in the meeting room.
- The first week will be reworked and all activities discussed.
- The project leader makes notes in the Excel spreadsheet or on paper and later maintains the contents in the table.
- Back at his workplace, he summarizes the results and creates his charts.
- At the end of the week, everyone will meet again in the meeting room.
- The project manager presents the report of the first week and takes preventive measures.
In fact, everyone is already in the planning stage of the third week. The entire cycle of production planning, including the reprocessing of the first week, took two weeks.
What is the same procedure in the Digital Last Planner System®?
- All meet in the context of a collaborative meeting for the production planning of the first week. Logging is not necessary because everything is stored completely digitally.
- The week will be processed. Most of the communication can be disallowed because it is digital, transparent and just-in-time for all to be visible and editable. The phone is only used in absolute emergency.
- At the end of the week, everyone will meet again in the meeting room.
- All are already fully informed about the first week. The project manager takes preventive measures.
The next week can be discussed efficiently. The entire cycle of the first week's production planning took one week in the digital version.
What happens if there are one or more faults in the procedure or defects in the first week?
It doesn't matter whether you work with sticky notes or digital. If your team members do not participate actively, openly and transparently, the elimination of faults and shortcomings will always be a big challenge. But if everyone participates, you can get a result much quicker with the digital version. Each commitment is part of a process chain, which is summarized in a milestone. As part of a conference call, you can immediately discuss the situation with all parties involved and make changes in the process chain. Everyone can participate live in the graphic collaboration. If all team members agree to the possible changes to their commitment, the problem is resolved strategically.
Most of my readers will know how to work with the Last Planner System®. That's why I don't go for it.
The digital way of working involves several connected graphical user interfaces. Everyone can see with just a few clicks what the status of the project is. The milestone is not just a sticky note on the wall, but it summarizes the entire chain of commitments that are present in this planning section. In an emergency, complete task chains can be moved.
- All team members meet for a real or digital meeting. The chain of commitments is graphically developed and placed over the milestone in the calendar.
- Preview planning and Make Ready is performed.
- Everything is prepared and the commitments for the next week are agreed in the production planning. This can happen in real or digital.
- The production is visible for every just-in-time.
- The results will be reviewed.
- If a rework is required, a new commitment will be immediately worked out in the current chain of commitments under the milestone. All of them immediately see whether the appointments can still be held, whether the commitments must be renegotiated or whether the date of the milestone can be held. This can also be done digitally together.
- From the outset, quality management can accompany the entire project digitally. If there is a document case, the digital task can be copied and annotated immediately to the quality management digital. Improvements can also be made in the current project with quality monitoring.
- The complete chain of tasks of a milestone is processed and at the same time completely documented including quality and defect management.
Conclusion: The Digital Last Planner System® transfers the methodology and advantages of the Last Planner System® into the digital world and makes it even leaner than it already is. Your project managers are clearly relieved, and all team members save time and additional travel costs in the long term.

Cycas Hospitality acquired the Staybridge Suites Newcastle in October 2016. Cycas now manages 80% of the Staybridge Suites hotels in Europe underlining their positioning as the leading European experts in the extended-stay sector. Interest in the property was keen and evidences the strength of regional UK trading levels and the demand for branded extended-stay hotels.
Newcastle is a thriving metropolis and has invested over £250m transforming its cultural infrastructure. It is well positioned on the high-speed East Coast mainline so most of the UK's city hubs are just a short train ride away. New intercity trains are also due to run between Liverpool and Newcastle by December 2017. Its accessibility, skilled workforce and the presence of strong international companies make Newcastle a natural fit for the extended-stay hotel market.Download Hotel Information

5 Weekend Business Ideas
Want to start a business but don't have the ability to dedicate a full-time schedule to it? Not to worry, there are plenty of business opportunities out there that you can work on just on the weekends.
If you're interested in being a weekend entrepreneur, check out these five ideas you can start while you're still working at your day job, quoted from laruno.com.
1. Garage Sale
We can say, this is the most popular of weekend business, because it is easy to do. If you have a garage or a big yard, use it for sell your unused items but still worth to wear. Like your shirt, bag, shoes, accesories and other. Sell those things with cheap price, so people interested to buy.
2. Remote English Tutor
Teaching English as a second language can be a very lucrative side business, and it takes absolutely nothing to get started. If you're a native English speaker, there are countless people who are willing to pay up to Rp 50.000/hour.
3. Handmade Business
For handmade entrepreneurs, this is especially challenging because we love what we do so much, it's tempting to spend most of our time creating things, and not enough time marketing and selling them and planning for the future. Once you start selling the products you make, you are a business owner.
4. Entrust Service Business
Nowadays, this business become popular in social media. You can use this chance if you are at shopping malls. It is easy! You can take photos of any popular product, like bag, shoes, accesories or food, then upload it to your social media and let your friends or other people see and maybe they going to buy it through you. Commonly, price for this service is Rp 25.000,-/product. While the price for the product is same as at the store.
5. Food Truck
You can start your own food truck and just set up shop at weekend events or at high traffic areas in your area each weekend.
if you want to be successful, you need to find the best possible locations. You might choose places like fairs and local events when they come up. But you can also pick out some regular locations to set up shop during the week, so that people know where they can find you on a regular basis.
You can make it even easier for people to find you wherever you are if you set up a presence online and on social media. Update your Facebook page or Twitter account with where you'll be on each day so that your loyal fans can find you and buy food from you.

Color can be an awesome way to express yourself this season. Strategic color placement can bring out or accent some of your best features. Have you been sporting a trendy bob this season, but you're ready for a fresh look? Try adding just a few panels of color near the bang area to draw attention to eye shape or complexion.
Do you have a short cut, but want to make the sassy cut a bit more jazzy? Ask your hair care specialist to simply add a few brush strokes of color to the tips of your hair in the crown and work your desired tone toward the fringe area.
Happen to have dark skin and an urge to be bold? Trying a few splashes of pale blonde or a vibrant sun kiss copper will speak volumes. Do you wish to be different but not outspoken? Maybe a warm cinnamon or soft caramel is all that is needed to compliment your almond skin.
An entire head of color is quite a commitment, and sometimes less is more. Dare to be different and stand out this season!

I used to be guilty of this. For years I would just eat my lunch at my desk and not think a thing of it. That was when I didn't have someone sitting right across for me. For years I had great desks. Well, over the past few months, since I moved to another part of the office, I now understand how annoying this can be.
The smells. The smacking. The gulping. The talking with their mouth full. It's disgusting. Actually, I should really separate the two. First of all, someone comes back with their lunch (either nuked in the microwave or a quick stop at good burger) and soon the smell is wafting over to my side. If I have not had lunch or, maybe, not going to have lunch, just that smell is horrible to deal with. Now, if I have had lunch or, worse, if what they are eating is nasty (such as egg salad), I don't want to smell that. Any sort of smell has no place at a desk where I am crunching numbers and trying to work. That's why we have a break room!
Secondly, eat with your mouth closed!!! I have this co-worker who sits across from me. They cannot eat lunch without smacking their lips, gulping their drink, occasionally burping (yeah..you heard right) and laughing when they have a load in their mouth.
Anyone else have this problem (those of you in offices)?
Let's get a moratorium on the "I'm just too busy to leave my desk for 15 minutes while I eat even though I am getting no work done anyway since I am eating but I still don't want to walk to the break room" kind of people.

This is a guest post courtesy of Paul Agelidis, the Founder and Owner at Revolucion, a cigar, tobacco and men's gift shop in beautiful Vancouver, BC.
Vancouver is a great international city for a travel destination with tons of experiences that are both diverse and memorable. If you are an outdoorsy type and want to swim, hike, kayak, ski, or bike, the proximity to both the ocean and mountains of British Columbia make it easy to find adventure.
But if you prefer experiencing the unique markets, restaurants, and neighborhoods of a large and multi-cultural city, Vancouver has plenty to offer too. If you look up things to see or do in Vancouver, odds are you'll see the same old tourist havens that everyone will flock to.
If you want a more unique experience, you should look up these five underrated experiences to have in Vancouver…
Bard on the Beach Festival
Every summer from June to September, there is a massive festival called Bard on the Beach featuring professionally performed Shakespeare plays. It is held in Vanier Park, a large city park along the waterfront that naturally includes a long stretch of beaches in large open tents and intimate theatre stages.
The classic Shakespeare plays performed with the backdrop of the beach and ocean makes for a fun and memorable experience, and you can pick from a few of his plays that are performed at any given time. You can see your favorites, or some of his lesser known plays that you've never seen before. You can also walk along the beach in Vanier Park or stop by the special workshops set up by the Bard of the Beach Theatre Society.
Norvan Falls
Grouse Mountain and the Capilano Suspension Bridge might get all the fame for great sights and outdoor adventures, but Norvan Falls is extremely underrated for its hiking and gorgeous views.
It has its own fantastic suspension bridge, scenic waterfall, and a low to medium-difficulty hiking trail that takes around 3 to 5 hours to finish. It's a 14 km round trip to complete, but the trails are very even with no big inclines or declines to worry about.
You can get snacks and cool refreshments at the little Lynn Canyon Café before you start the hike or after you finish. It is advisable to bring your own water and snacks for while you are hiking. And of course, bring your camera to capture the great scenery!
Vancouver Cigar Scene
It might be weird to think, but Vancouver has a thriving scene for cigar aficionados. There are over a dozen cigar shops and lounges that sell Cuban and non-Cuban cigars to browse, with an active community of people that will talk cigars and smoking. It is a bit surprising given the Province-wide ban on smoking indoors or out in public, but you can look up associations like the West Coast Cigar Club to get information on "smoke-easies" and events or socials where you can find a place to enjoy a cigar in good company.
Indian Arm Luncheon Cruise
Outside of the winter season, Harbour Cruise in Vancouver has a great alternative way of seeing the city and shoreline — a four hour cruise through Vancouver's harbours, inlets and mountain fjords that includes lunch.
It runs all of the weekend days and some weekdays, depending on the time of the year, from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm. You get beautiful views of the coast around Vancouver and a catered buffet lunch for just over $70 CAD — not a bad deal at all for what is basically a guided tour plus good quality meal.
English Bay Fireworks
In July and August, you can stop by the beaches of English Bay in the evening to catch the International Fireworks Competition that is held every year. It includes an event called the Celebration of Light that is held on three days that attracts a huge audience every year. It may be a bit crowded, but is well worth seeing. These are not your regular holiday fireworks, it is a spectacular visual display with accompanying music!

Sail First have just celebrated their 2nd birthday, and they took the time to thank all of their partners who have helped to make them a success, including Ship2Shore!
On their facebook page, they wrote:
"Today is a very special day for us! Exactly on 12/11 two years ago we started our way in contributing to sailing industry in Cyprus! Big thanks to all our partners and individual clients without who nothing would be possible!"
We strive to build lasting relationships with our customers, establishing the foundations where they know that they will only receive the highest level of customer service from us and the best quality printed and personalised garments in Cyprus. Here's an example of one of the orders completed for Sail First for a recent regatta at Limassol Marina.
If you would like more information about our prices and services, and how we can help you, be it for a personal or professional order, please don't hesitate to contact us.
On Sunday, the 21st of September 2014, the Famagusta Nautical Club (NOA) paid tribute to Navy Commander, Commodore Andreas Ioannides, who died during the tragic explosion at Mari. Ship2Shore Clothing had the honour of producing high-quality Polo Shirts, featuring the embroidered Ioannideia emblem and sponsor logos for the events participants and board members.
The Ioannideia race was organised in the memory of Commodore Andreas Ioannides. On the day of his heroic sacrifice, Andreas Ioannides was the Vice-President of the Famagusta Nautical Club. Ioannideia 2014 included off-shore sailing regattas, swimming, canoeing, kayaking, rowing and SUP races. The races started at 9:00 and 11:00 and marked the beginning of the off-shore sailing regatta. The yachts sailed off the coast of Limassol and ended up in front of the Nautical Club. The official ceremony took place at 18:00 and included a blessing, the laying of the wreath, speeches and an award ceremony. Limassol Marina was a partner on this initiative for the second consecutive year. Ship2Shore clothing were proud to be part sponsors of the 2nd Ioannideia event and supplied the branded Ioannideia Race polo shirts and caps for the first year and hope to continue this partnership for years to come.
The day went off without a hitch and all participants, board members and spectators looked respectable in their branded clothing. In total, Ship2Shore produced over 300 garments and 100 caps for the event, all in quick time. We used our top class embroidery machines and garment vinyl to achieve the high-quality results, shown in these photographs. The top image shows the event director giving the signal for the start of the canoe/kayak race from Limassol Marina with the event and sponsorship logos on the back of his polo shirt.
If you would be interested in using Shi2Shore clothing to produce your own branded garments for any event, big or small, please don't hesitate to contact us for a quote.

Grain Growers urged to tackle mice early
Grain Growers urged to tackle mice early

Grain growers in Victoria and South Australia are being urged to assess current mouse numbers on their properties to determine if mice are likely to pose a risk at sowing.
If mouse numbers are a concern, growers should consult with their bait suppliers as soon as possible to ensure they have access to sufficient quantities of bait in advance of sowing.
Growers and their advisers attending Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) Grains Research Updates in both States have been encouraged to be pro-active with mouse control strategies in 2018 in the wake of extensive crop damage last year and a carryover of base populations through summer.
Mild weather and a reasonable supply of food sources as a result of grain being left on the ground due to weather events and frost in 2017 have contributed to numbers being at higher than normal levels for this time of year.
Mouse monitoring experts engaged in GRDC research investments say potential therefore exists for economic damage at sowing this year in parts of SA and Victoria.
"If they think they are going to need bait, they should talk to their suppliers immediately," says Mr Henry. "If they leave it too late, supplies may not be available when they need to bait, as has occurred in previous years.
"Growers should be prepared to bait in the lead up to sowing, as well as being prepared to bait at sowing. And it is important that they monitor the effectiveness of baiting after each application."
Broadscale application of zinc phosphide bait is the only method available to growers to control mice in their paddocks.
Mr Henry says timely application of bait at the prescribed rate (one kilogram per hectare) is paramount for reducing the impact that mice have on crops at sowing.
"Strategic use of bait is more effective than frequent use of bait. Ideally, bait should be applied eight weeks ahead of sowing, before another single application at sowing."
Mr Henry also encourages growers to implement other mouse reduction strategies such as reducing the amount food sources available by spraying out summer weeds and volunteer cereals, and cleaning up grain on the ground by grazing sheep on stubbles (if feasible).
"Growers need to reduce alternative food sources to make baiting as effective as possible because bait aversion can be a real issue."
Mouse management strategies and advice are outlined in the GRDC GrowNotes™ Better Mouse Management Tips and Tactics fact sheet.
Mr Henry and his CSIRO colleague Peter Brown have delivered some sobering mouse reproduction facts to growers and advisers attending GRDC Grains Research Updates, including:
* Mice start breeding at six weeks of age
* Litters of up to 10 pups are born every 20 days
* Female mice become pregnant again immediately after giving birth
* A single pair can give rise to 500 offspring in a season.
The threshold for economic damage at sowing is 200 mice/hectare.
Mr Henry encourages growers and advisers to continue to report and map mouse presence, absence and level of activity using the MouseAlert website so others can see the scale and extent of localised mouse activity.
MouseAlert also provides access to fact sheets about mouse control and forecasts of the likelihood for future high levels of mouse activity in each grain-growing region.
Despite considerable past and present investment ($6.9 million) in mouse-related research, development and extension (RD&E), the GRDC recognises that mice continue to be a key constraint across the southern cropping region.
Studies have included searching for new tools and active ingredients, bait application strategies and ongoing monitoring and surveillance. Further investment in mouse-related RD&E is being undertaken to provide growers with new management tools and strategies for mouse management in the future.

Chilean Company Creates Water-Soluble Bag In Fight Against Plastic
Published on Jul 27 2018 2:00 PM in Packaging And Design tagged: Trending Posts / Chile / Sustainability / Paywall / Plastic pollution / Solubeg
Chilean company Solubag has introduced a new water-soluble plastic bag as part of the fight to reduce plastic pollution in oceans around the world.
A State Of Emergency
Plastic accumulating in the world's oceans has become a major policy issue for governments, with scientists warning of its effect on the food chain. Recently, the European Commission proposed banning single-use plastics such as cotton buds and plastic straws, putting the burden of cleaning up waste on manufacturers in an effort to reduce marine litter.

Shark NV352 Navigator Lift-Away Review
Small and maneuverable, but feels cheap and has a hard time cleaning carpets
Despite what you may have heard on a late night infomercial, the $170 Shark NV352 Navigator Lift-Away has subpar cleaning performance, especially on carpets, and feels cheaply built. Though it's more compact than many of its competitors, that doesn't excuse how poorly it picks up dirt and debris and how difficult it can be to wrangle around the house. We expected a lot more from a vacuum that costs this much.
Design & Usability
Though the NV352 Navigator Lift-Away has some thoughtful features, the dirt holder is especially clunky, and the pet brush kept falling apart.
The Shark NV352 Navigator Lift-Away is a compact upright vacuum with a removable handle that doubles as an extension wand. It's especially unique in that the top half of the vacuum can detach from the floor brush for portable cleaning. It weighs just under 14 pounds, too, easily gliding across bare floors and short carpets. It doesn't offer any manual carpet height adjustment, though, so it can get a little bogged down in high-pile rugs. Even after proper assembly, the handle still had some play where it was supposed to connect to the cleaner, giving the appearance of flimsiness. Adding to that appearance: a single, red, three-position rocker switch that controls whether the vacuum is on and whether the brushroll is powered. Even when it's powered on, the brushroll only activates automatically when the vacuum is lowered from the stored position.
The 24-foot power cord can be wrapped up on board the unit. The cord hook at the top of the handle is a nice touch that keeps things out of the way while cleaning. There's no elegance to the dirt holder, though, which snaps onto the vacuum body with two plastic hooks on either side. They require some effort to get unlatched, and constantly felt like they were in danger of snapping off. Once removed, the dirt holder can be opened at both the bottom and top. The NV352 Navigator Lift-Away has three filters—two pre-filters and one exhaust filter—offering allergen filtration. Shark claims they're "lifetime filters," requiring cleaning only every three months... we're not sure if that's a mark of optimism, or a prediction of sudden demise for the vacuum itself.
Features & Performance
Shark advertises the Navigator as "never losing suction." That may be true, but it never had much suction to begin with.
The Shark NV352 Navigator Lift-Away's overall cleaning performance was poor, despite the motorized brushroll and cyclonic suction. Debris pickup was awful, long carpet performance was abysmal, and we'd ignore the five-second rule if we dropped food on any bare floors in this Shark's charge. Short carpet wasn't much better, and hardwood floors ended up only passably clean, at best. As far as debris pickup on hardwood floors, this vacuum is too weak to lift anything very heavy, pushing most items around, rather than sucking them up.
A removable hose that allows for 80 inches of extended cleaning may be the Shark's greatest feature. When you're finished with the hose, it firmly snaps back into the cleaner body, doubling as the handle. The hose can also be used when the main vacuum unit is detached from the floor brush.
Altogether, the NV352 Navigator Lift-Away comes with four tools. You've got a nearly three-foot long crevice tool for hard-to-reach places, a regular crevice tool for getting between sofa cushions and the like, an upholstery brush for delicate surfaces, and a turbine-powered pet brush. The pet brush (which turned out to be the only one of these four tools that didn't work well) is designed to come apart for easy cleaning; what this translates to for consumers is that it repeatedly disassembles itself, driving you crazy. Even when properly working, it preferred to wrap pet hair around the brush rather than send it into the dirt chamber.
Shark Weak
Though the Shark NV352 Navigator Lift-Away makes a lot of promises, many of them on late-night television, it largely fails to deliver. The lightweight and maneuverable vacuum has a very ergonomically-friendly extension wand, but the whole setup gave the impression that it was poorly constructed from inexpensive materials. This was especially apparent when emptying the contents of the twice-latched dirt holder, or pushing it with a rickety handle. It barely lifted any dirt from long carpet, and performance on short carpets and bare floors lagged behind other models.
Though it's small, at $170 for a new Navigator Lift-Off, it's in the same price class as many better vacuums, and therefore such poor performance is unacceptable.

Paleo Peppermint No Bake Brownies + 5 Tips for a Guilt Free Holiday Season
Paleo peppermint no bake brownies are the perfect way to enjoy the festive flavors of the season! Sweetened naturally with dates and flavored with my favorite essential oil, peppermint, these brownies make the perfect snack or sweet end to a meal! Paleo, gluten free, grain free, dairy free and no sugar added. Well, hello!
As I've been getting back into blogging and re-organizing and updating the blog, I realized I had SO many recipes on this space! And they are all insanely delicious and NEED to be shared again! While my information has shifted to more content and less recipes, I would still like to periodically share new recipes with you and also give these old recipes some love too! I made these this weekend to re-photograph them, and y'all..these ARE SO GOOD. How did I forget how delicious these are?! They taste like a soft thin mint...and considering that's my favorite Girl Scout cookie, I was in heaven eating these up!
P.S. Nothing wrong with eating the real deal thin mint, too.
Original post:
I am ALL about enjoying the holidays with food. Food is meant to be enjoyed, savored and eaten with loved ones. Over the next couple of months I fully intend to enjoy multiple pieces of pumpkin pie, red velvet cake and fried turkey (Yup, fried. #imfromthesouth).
This time of the year tends to be when people "ditch their diets" and "give up on eating healthy". You guys already know how I feel about dieting...so let's chat about my 5 tips for a guilt-free holiday season.
Tip #1: Don't feel guilty for eating. Period. No. Guilt.
I don't care if its a kale salad or the most indulgent food you could possibly eat. Enjoy it. Savor it. Taste every bite and let go of the feeling of guilt. It is not serving you and is most likely making you overeat as a result of the restriction you give yourself about feeling guilty for eating.
Tip #2: Don't skip meals.
Yea, yea, yea. I know EVERYONE does this. Especially on the day of the holiday leading up to the big meal. But this only encourages you to overeat. If you are extremely hungry when you go to eat Thanksgiving on Thursday, you are likely to eat past the point of fullness and eat foods you do not truly even enjoy. Which brings me to tip#3.
Tip #3: Only eat foods that you truly enjoy.
Most of the time we are eating foods during the holiday season just because it is there. Before your next holiday meal, party or gathering I encourage you to walk around and assess which foods are available. Which foods have you been waiting all year to try? Which foods could you easily pass on?
Personally I don't care much for stuffing, mashed potatoes, ham and rolls. But I LOVE turkey and all the gravy, sweet potato casserole, any green vegetable smothered in bacon (like my maple bacon Brussels Sprouts) and macaroni and cheese (my grandfather makes the best!)
Tip #4: Move your body.
In whatever way you enjoy. If you want to go to the gym, great! If not, that's fine too! Go for a walk! Do some yoga! Play a game with your family (do people actually do this? I am so bad at sports I cannot imagine that actually being fun- but if its your thing, do it!)
I always bring work out clothes with me when I travel, but I only work out if I'm in the mood. I am not going to go to bed early just so I can work out in the morning or miss out on sleep to work out. But, if there's a free moment where I can squeeze in some movement- I go for it! When traveling I love to continue walking my dog daily and doing yoga if the opportunity presents itself!
Tip #5: Enjoy yourself.
One day out of the year is not going to ruin your goals or your efforts to change your habits. Let go, truly embrace the holiday, spend time with loved ones and in the words of my favorite show (Parks and Rec, obviously), treat yo'self.
Paleo Peppermint No Bake Brownies

CARBONDALE — Southern Illinois University is looking for a few good women.
CARBONDALE — Southern Illinois University is looking for a few good women.
The Southern Illinoisan reported Monday that officials with the university's flagship Carbondale campus hope to boost enrollment by addressing a gender disparity there, noting that the university consistently had more male than female students. That held true in 2010, with 10,867 male students outnumbering the 9,170 female ones.
Chancellor Rita Cheng said she was "somewhat surprised" when she learned that the Carbondale university had fewer woman than men, given that that goes against the trend on many campuses. The U.S. Census Bureau reports that women ages 18 to 24 began surpassing men in higher education in the late 1980s and early '90s.
To close that gap in Carbondale, vice chancellor for enrollment management John Nicklow said SIU plans to target all-girl high schools for recruits, as well as boost recruitment of female students in science fields because women tend to get hired more in science-related job markets. Cheerleading and engineering camps also will get additional attention from SIU.
"We are also seeing more women in health care-related fields, business, social work and special education," said Cheng, who added that the push to recruit more female students falls in line with the goal to double the number of honors students at Southern Illinois over the next three years. "We need to build these programs and offer our scholarships to high-achieving women and men."
Nicklow said having Cheng — a female chancellor — at SIU doesn't hurt in efforts to recruit more women.
"It's hard to increase female enrollment when you don't have female role models," Cheng said. "In the same way young men need a role model, young women need a role model."

Vehicle Sign Writing – Our latest workWe love the smell of coffee!
This lovely van belongs to a company called Treviso Coffee, who chose us to complete their vehicle sign writing on their newest addition, a VW Caddy van.
Sticking to the company branding guidelines, our design team used the base coat colour of the vehicle to their advantage by focusing on making the company logo pop! The vinyl colours used on the van blend nicely with the theme of the company and their image, creating a professional feel.
The vinyl used is high quality graded with a warranty of 5-8 years. Standard 'signwriting vinyl' has a lifespan of 2 years and will degrade within months when exposed to the elements. Therefore it is important to select the correct vinyl carefully during the design stage. We offer free consultation here at Stripe Master with an experienced team willing to help with graphics, artwork and application.

Designing Vehicle GraphicsDesign guides and principles to help you get the best result
Our helpful and professional design team can produce the artwork for your vehicle graphics at no extra charge. Whether you choose to take advantage of their design skills and experience, or you prefer to design your own artwork, here are a few reminders that will make sure your vehicle graphics design is as effective as possible. Try to keep them in mind either when discussing ideas with our design team, or when producing your own vehicle graphics designs.Good Vehicle Graphics Have a Message
Choosing the right message for your design will be influenced by a number of factors, but the biggest one is probably budget. Large enterprises may afford to change their graphics regularly, so they can advertise a specific product or service for a short time and then change it to a different product. For them, the vehicle is like a rolling billboard.
Smaller businesses probably don't have that kind of budget. They [...]

Aftercare & MaintenanceYour comprehensive guide to caring for your vinyl graphics or wrap
Our team at Stripe Master Ltd prides itself on a quality service from start to finish and that is why we have put together a comprehensive aftercare and maintenance guide to ensure that the graphics on your vehicle are fully protected.Aftercare & Maintenance: The First 48 Hours
Once the vinyl has been applied to your vehicle the next couple of days' maintenance is as important as the application process itself.
The glue layer will still be settling down on the panels and it is vital at this stage that it is not disturbed. This means that jet washing your vehicle is not advised. If for any reason you need to clean your vehicle within this time frame, carefully run over the vinyl with a damp sponge, ensuring not to catch any edges or thin layers of vinyl.Aftercare & Maintenance: Regular Washing
We advise to wash the vinyl regularly using [...]
Chapter 8 ExplainedA brief guide to get you up to speed with Chapter 8
The Department for Transport issued a compliance guide entitled "Traffic Signs Manual". Chapter 8 is about protecting workers and vehicles that operate on public roads and high-speed roads.
You can download a copy of the "Traffic Signs Manual" at www.gov.ukDoes Chapter 8 affect me?
Chapter 8 requires that business owners equip all vehicles that stop frequently on high-speed roads (50mph+) with high visibility rear markings. It allows for other markings too, for example, to the sides of long vehicles used in temporary traffic management situations. However, the standard that the manual outlines is a minimum. We highly recommend that work vehicles on all types of highway, irrespective of the speed limit, meet the same standard.What Chapter 8 graphics kit do I need?
In order to comply, you will need to modify your vehicle with appropriate Chapter 8-compliant chevrons and fluorescent materials. Permitted markings include chevrons comprising alternate strips of [...]

An Alternative Way to Expand Medicaid?/
Yesterday, Indiana Governor Mike Pence announced his alternative plan to Medicaid expansion. A Harvard Medical School and City University of New York study released this month concluded that over 750 people in Indiana will die annually because they don't have access to Medicaid. This number is unacceptable to the 350,000 people in Indiana that would benefit from the expansion. Due to the non expansion, religious groups, healthcare providers, labor and business organizations were able to come up with 10,000 signatures, a sign that partisan politics shouldn't coincide with someone's healthcare. Gov. Pence has decided to use the federal government funding expand coverage to the most vulnerable in his state; however, unlike traditional Medicaid, those who will be using the program will have to "put more skin in the game" as Gov. Pence sees it.
Congressman Andre Carson was quoted in Professor Fran Quigley's article in the Indianapolis Star stating that "I have serious concerns that (the revised Healthy Indiana Plan) is an untested proposal that will still fail to provide critical health coverage to thousands of Hoosiers." The proposal still needs approval from the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
In a state like Massachusetts, who expanded benefits back in 2006, deaths from conditions that were curable were cut significantly. This might be the proponents best chance to extend coverage to those in need. Only time will tell if Healthy Indiana Plan 2.0 will work.

I'm a true Southern Cali beach bum, and can't get enough sun on my skin. In our more than 14 years of marriage, my husband Rob and i have lived all around SLC and San Diego, which is where I was was born and raised, and also where we had our two little rug rats—Penny (9) and Dexter (6). Exercise is one of my true passions. I get a huge rush sweating with friends during high fitness, which is why working here at Awaken is perfect for me. I absolutely, love working the desk interacting with clients and teachers alike. Strength training has become a passion of mine because of a genetic bone disease called XLH (ask me about it sometime). It's the reason I'm so tall :) And witnessing people work continuously on creating a healthier body and mind better inspires me every single day.
I love my family, I love life, and I love working here at Awaken.

Today we'll be setting the sleeves of the view B Uniform Tunic. Much like the previous armhole facing post you can use the sleeves in view A or view B with no adjustments, it's all up to your personal preference. With that let's get started!
To begin lay out both sleeves and fold the side seams together with the right sides facing. This way you can make sure that you have two opposite sleeves.
Sew the underarm seams using the standard ½" seam allowance and finish your seam allowance as desired. In this sample we serged ours together.
Press the seam allowance towards the back of the sleeve.
Using a large basting stitch, place two lines of stitching between the two armhole notches. Place one line 3/8″ from the cut edge and the second 5/8″ from the cut edges. Be sure to leave thread tails.
Place the sleeve right side out inside of the bodice which should be turned wrong side out. Align the underarm seams, notches, and the shoulder seam with the top shoulder notch on the sleeve. Gather the sleeve caps if needed to fit into the armhole. Pin in place.
Stitch around the armhole with your ½" seam allowance and finish your seam as desired. You can give a light press to the seam if you'd like (press the seam allowance towards the armhole) though you don't need to. On this sample I just gave the linen a bit of a finger press.
Repeat these steps for the other side of the garment.
To hem, fold the raw edge up ¼" and press, then ¼" again and press.
Stitch the folded fabric in place to hem the sleeves.
That's it for setting your sleeves! As I mentioned at the beginning of the post you can use either bodice with sleeves for the ultimate mix and match garment. Next up we'll finish the neckline of our tunics and you'll be wearing it in no time!

Roller garage doors are less made complex to operate than sectional garage doors. They likewise have smaller sized and also easier to deal with panels, which considerably lowers the danger of crashes.

I had a slight issue as well when I switched from refine, white products to whole grains, it has to be a gradual shift, which is something I too learned the hard way.
It sounds like you are feeding yourself well (especially for this all being grain free!) and still managing to integrate a lot of local yummies in there as well.
I hope you are starting to feel a little better.
Leftovers you say....

You may already be aware that a Mediterranean-style diet can do more than lower cholesterol.
It prolongs life, reduces incidence of cancer (breast, colon, prostate, uterus), prevents type 2 diabetes, reduces rates of cardiovascular disease, and prevents dementia. Some recent studies suggest that it also helps with control of asthma and may prevent chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
One of the things I like about your program is that you try to eat local, seasonal fruits and veggies. This is an aspect of the traditional Mediterranean diet often overlooked.

greeen sheeep - pull up a chair!
jennifer - definitely feeling better after than initial fiber rush. As long as I eat lots of red potatoes, some corn, nut butter and keep the olive oil flowing, I tend to stay full without those extra carbs. The only thing I really miss is the occasional dessert. If this works in bringing my cholesterol down, I'll have to figure out how to work some ice cream back in :)
doc - I've been reading some medical journal articles about the mediterranean diet and it does seem to have many benefits. A dear friend of mine is Greek and I saw first hand how his mom cooked so at least I had some lessons on how to REALLY use olive oil :) They're certainly not shy about it! Do you eat local as well? Follow the Med diet?

I'd like a serving of the squash ribbons with pasta sauce, please. It sounds great. Thanks for the idea.

kale for sale - I got the idea from one of the entries at One Local Summer. That person used zucchini ribbons, but I figured you could probably make ribbons out of just about anything and use it as a pasta sub. Works great!
green bean - it was! And I came up with a new idea for my fried rice today. I put in some almond butter for flavoring and it was soooooo good! This no grain thing is making me creative :)

The following blog post was written by a high school student in Science Delivered's CAPTS program, Fatima Perez CAPTS stands for Communication and Presentation Through Science and is an after-school program where teens learn to teach a science lab to elementary school students. During this program they learn science content, communication skills, presentation skills, classroom management and more. At the conclusion of the program they teach in a 4th or 5th grade classroom. Fatima was a part of our pilot program in 2017 and served as a Teaching Assistant for our Spring 2018 program at Hoover High School in City Heights.
Science Delivered runs CAPTS under the umbrella of UCSD's Upward Bound Math & Science.
From Fatima:
I was introduced to Science Delivered through the coordinator at my school who works for Upward Bound Math & Science, a college preparation program, Marcus Thompson. Marcus explained to a few of his students about Science Delivered and its dedication to science education for younger students and how we could work with the non-profit. When I learned that Science Delivered did in-class lab presentations for elementary schoolers I was immediately interested. I didn't have much experience with younger children but being a nerd for all things science, I knew I would enjoy it.
I wasn't sure what I was expecting, but the amount of effort needed to be put into teaching surprised me. The easiest part of the experience was learning how to do the experiments in the labs, which in my case was Chemistry: What's Your Reaction? Pouring baking soda into a bottle with vinegar to produce a chemical reaction was fairly simple, but explaining the chemical reaction to elementary schoolers was challenging. I had to learn these big scientific concepts like endothermic and exothermic reactions and break them down into smaller, intelligible pieces for the students. There were many things to take into consideration like my body language, speaking speed, and being able to answer questions to make sure that the concepts stuck with kids.
It took a few months of preparing before the day to present finally came. We had a lab scheduled for a 5th grade class at America's Finest Charter School. The day before, I was a nervous wreck, worrying about forgetting vital information or that the students would be unimpressed and uninterested. Fortunately, I ended up having no reason to worry. I knew exactly what to say while presenting thanks to the hours spent practicing, and the students were fascinated by the experiments. They were even surprised to find out I was actually a high school student and some asked if we would return the next school year!
The following summer, I volunteered at the Fleet Science Center in Balboa Park as a camp counselor for their summer science camps. Even though the overall goal in those camps was the same as our labs (providing young students with enriching science experiments) working with the science camps was also very different. Each camp was a week long and each day we'd get new experiments. We'd have to learn to set the experiments, learn how do them ourselves, and how to explain them to the campers, in the time before they arrived.
The young age of the kids in my camp group really gave me better insight as to why the lab I taught was for 4-5th graders and not 1st graders. A very memorable moment for me was in the "Chemistry in the Kitchen" camp. The camp counselors were given an experiment that was very similar to the one I had done with CAPTS, using citric acid and baking soda to make an endothermic reaction. I tried and tried to explain the reaction to the campers, rephrasing my words, breaking the concept down even further, but the 6-year-olds simply were not grasping why the mixture was getting cold. Fortunately, they still saw the experiment as the coolest thing they had ever witnessed, and the goal of getting them to start thinking more scientifically was being achieved.
As the next school year began along with the second year of CAPTS, I became a Teaching Assistant in the program. New CAPTS Captains were recruited as the program expanded and I helped them using the experience that I had from the previous year. I helped in the preparation of their own labs by giving them advice on their presentation style and helped with understanding of the science behind the labs. I also occasionally helped with the organizing of the captains to make sure everyone knew what they needed to do for assignments or preparation.
These past two years in CAPTS have been full of work, but it has been more than worth it. It has been an incredible learning experience for myself, and I strongly believe, for the elementary students we presented to as well. Seeing the faces of students light up when they understand something that I myself taught them is incredible. This is especially true since I am teaching about a field that I am passionate about. The incredible insights and observations the students have during the labs makes me excited about helping spark their interest in a field filled with opportunity for them.

Look what I just spotted these are super cute and I just snagged one up to gift my Mom. These oven handle covers are price in between $4.49-$4.99 each and will make your oven or refrigerator adorable.
With your choice of grapes or apples these will make your kitchen so cozy.
My mom's kitchen is done in grapes and wine so as soon as I spotted this cover I knew it would match perfectly.
These covers have a Velcro strip on the back so she will be able to take it off and on easily and since its made of soft felt she can just pop it in her washer when it needs cleaned.
These covers could also work for refrigerator doors, dishwasher handles and any other longer handle you may have in your kitchen. These would be adorable to match on everything.
These great covers ship free, which is a huge score for me since my mom lives a bit over and hour away I just shipped it straight to her house.

I feel like this may be the most New Englandy......yeah...it's a word now......flavor I have ever created. When I say the name it's always with the accent of the Pepperidge Farm man.
SIDE NOTE: I also like to use the accent when I say, "Storm's a brewin'......." after surveying a threatening sky.
DOUBLE SIDENOTE: I like to wear my hand crafted pheasant hunter sweater whilst doing THAT. Found this baby at a Goodwill if you can believe it.
Truth be told I'm 90 years old on the inside. Ask any of my friends. I'm sleeping while you party and I party while you sleep. And by party I mean play Mario Kart (where I obviously stay in the left lane with my blinker on the whole time....) and make gallons and gallons of ice cream. But everyone knows that old people know what's truly delicious. That's why there's a jar of Werther's Originals in my kitchen.
Things To Harvest:
- 2 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- vanilla bean, halved and scraped
- a medium to large sized bowl with 4 egg yolks, beaten
- one small sugar pumpkin
- a reality check....do you think we are really going to cut, cook, and puree a pumpkin when there are perfectly good cans of pumpkin in the world?! NAH. Trust me. Do it once. You will never bother again. Bonus.....it tastes EXACTLY THE SAME.....whoa sorry.....seems there's some residual Thanksgiving 2001 pie resentment there.....moving on....
- a can of pumpkin - sigh of relief, included
- 1/2-3/4 cup of pure maple syrup - the better quality the syrup, the less you will need. If you were not personally offended by the price of your syrup, I would lean towards 3/4 cup. If you had to take out a small personal loan to ensure the best tasting waffles, then by all means, use the 1/2 cup.
- 3/4 cup of whiskey AND 1/4 cup of Hot Damn or cinnamon schnapps - cooked down to 2/3 of a cup total and then chilled until cold. Yum takes work, people.
- frozen pie crust, baked off and broken into pieces, about 1/2 cup
- cool whip - why not? you've already baked a pie crust for this
The first rule of Custard Club is you do not talk about Custard Club....but the second, third, and fourth are:
- GET IT TOGETHER......no seriously. Making a custard is a bit involved and if you have everything near you, life will be way less complicated. Before you start, Get a big bowl. Put ice in it. Get another bowl and put it in the ice bowl. Like it's taking a little icy bath. Awww. Cute.
- ALSO....Get a fine mesh strainer and put it over the empty bowl. This will catch any mistakes that may happen when you introduce the eggs into the hot cream. It'll also catch any vanilla bean shrapnel we might not want in our smooth and creamy ice cream. (It's also a FANTASTIC mask in an impromptu kitchen fencing match. Tested and approved.)
- A WHISK and A LADLE....will also be used. You should probably grab a SPATULA for good measure. You know what? Grab two! Let's get real Food Network with it, shall we?
As always you can do the custard the day before but make sure you do it at least 6 hours before it goes into the machine.
- Put your maple syrup, milk, vanilla bean and cream all in a pot and slowly start to bring it up to where it's steaming. Not boiling. The whole time you are whisking. Whisk, whisk, whisk. Add in pumpkin puree. This will be thicker than the last time. But hey....so am I.
- Once the creamy is all steamy (trademark pending).......ladle some into your egg bowl and whisk THAT as you do it. We are warming up the eggs with a little cream before throwing them in the pot. Otherwise we're going to get Pumpkin Scrambled Egg ice cream. Something surely more trick than treat. Now pour that mixture back into the pot and whisk, whisk, whisk it into the cream. Keep it from boiling.
- It's going to be too thick already to test it with the normal spatula test, So just make sure it's nice and steamy before you pull it off. You can also skip the mesh strainer part of this. It's so thick it won't all make it through the strainer. Not even with swishing it all around with a spoon works...then it's just a big old mess.........I fail so you can learn.
- You now have 6 hours to play Mario Kart. If you can't master Rainbow Road by then......you're probably me. I can not stay on that race track to save my LIFE. (I should just go back to Resident Evil 4. Poor Ashley just can't stay UNkidnapped....which is also a newly self-declared word.) As we all know the colder the custard gets, the thicker and richer it gets.
- Mix that icy cold whiskey/cinnamon schnapps into your maple pumpkin custard thouroughly and start your engines! Turn that magic machine on and pour in your concoction. Set a timer for 9 minutes. Watch this video 3 times.
- Thank me for your new favorite song about Halloween and for your new found respect for 1986 video transitions.
- Scrape out the mixture into an airtight freezable container. Place plastic wrap on top of the ice cream's surface. It's really just a great trick for any sauce or cream. Keeps the air out. In this case, it stops freezer burn. Put the lid on and stick in the freezer for at least 4 hours to set up.
Unless it never makes it past the semi frozen state or your mouth.
- Tell your husband that batch "didn't work out". Pretend you didn't eat your weight in whiskey maple pie ice cream.
- Make big elliptical "plans" for the morning. (Key word: "plans')
Makes enough for 3-4 people, technically.
Makes enough for 2 people, realistically.
Makes enough for me, more than likely.

To the ones who don't know… It's not that you're slow, but you let this guy take a piece of your soul and fill it up with his intentions and plant it right there… into your ovaries for 9 months of conception. Are you feeling lost? Lonely? Do you sometimes feel as if you gave your goods to a dog like a piece of bologna? And you ask yourself.. how could that sweet loving bliss turn into something like this?
When the world and everything in it walked away from you, the sky turned blue. You accumulated your tears in a bucket as the neighbors watched the rain wash their window looking at the sky of blue thunder, while you're trying to knock out the sounds of your emotions like we do when the Jehovah's Witness arrives… who did you tell when you felt deprived?
Sometimes I wish I could of just scooped up your pile of tears and told you listen to your spirit when you got weak, and just use it as purification for your face, because what breaks you can only make you. Sometimes I wish I could have replaced your hands with mine and sketched that outfit you said you couldn't make come to life and paint those pictures of who really loves you. Sometimes wish I could of caught you three months before you turned 16, because if I did… on August 26th the doctors wouldn't have to hear you scream.
I know right now your soul is aching when it plays the piano in the dark. You collab with those creatures whom we are afraid of when they come out in the dark. But you make a BEAUTIFUL melody. If you were to play Beethoven in the dark, those graceful hands would touch the souls of those who were antiemetic. Your like a lantern in dark uniting those lost souls, locking hands and singing: "This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine, let it shine, let it shine, I'm gonna let it shine…"
With the 2 inches of body fat you used to pinch and label gut has how turned into 37 weeks of a mother and baby in development. You need to now find happiness within the man upstairs as your walking through the judgments of people from different points of view and laughing with those who aren't true.
In 3 weeks, your baby is going to be here. But 205 days ago when that test came positive you were about to say no. As a mother, you gotta be the hawk for your family and it's needs. I'm not saying all men are perfect, but when things not goin' right you need to have your soul in place and use the skin from the Holy Bible as protection and mix those pages of wisdom with the cerebral fluid in your brain and store it like you would for your baby's umbilical cord. B/c you may never know when your gonna need it.
Maintaining that systolic 120 and the dialostic 80. Trying to have less complications for her and her baby. Because the clock is ticking, there's no script… this is reality. There's only 84 600 seconds in a day, which gives her 24 hours and no room to play. She's not living like she's dying… wailing out that controversial motto: YOLO. Thank God, it wasn't YOYO (you on your own) when the pressure was on her and the seed has grown. With God's grace, she made it without being alone. Don't think this poem is to condone Teenage pregnancies its to keep those juvenile souls from roaming alone without guidance from our Father in Heaven.
