Look it up.
I'm pretty sure you'll see a screen shot of this blog.
At least, you would before today. Read this post, and we'll both be blog-us caught-up-ti-mus! :)
Long story short, summer fun has definitely begun around the buffalo herd.
From the first day out on the slip 'n slide....
...to a trip to an antique tractor show...
... to Daddy's school to see his band in concert...
... and even on a big city adventure. Can you guess where we are here?
Yep! We went to see our Rangers play!
We like our fun in all shapes and sizes. What fun do you have coming up?

DNA is subjected to many endogenous and exogenous damages. All organisms have developed a complex network of DNA repair mechanisms. A variety of different DNA repair pathways have been reported: direct reversal, base excision repair, nucleotide excision repair, mismatch repair, and recombination repair pathways. Recent studies of the fundamental mechanisms for DNA repair processes have revealed a complexity beyond that initially expected, with inter- and intrapathway complementation as well as functional interactions between proteins involved in repair pathways. In this paper we give a broad overview of the whole DNA repair system and focus on the molecular basis of the repair machineries, particularly in Thermus thermophilus HB8.

This post is a long time coming and I know it's very late but hey, maybe it'll be good to rekindle some of the fire from this competition in anticipation of upcoming Nationals.
TIDBRF was a weekend of huge ups and downs and the way things panned out was almost as if it were the plotline of a movie. So many emotions, it was definitely a dramatic weekend to remember.
*Spoiler alert* It was a successful weekend. 🙂 🙂 🙂

So many things happened and I hope I don't leave out anything important. It's very much a weekend I'd like to remember for a long time. I know this post is very late in coming out, but I started it long ago and just never finished it. I also had to post Milton and Pickering before TIDBRF, since, you know, things go in chronological order.
A little bit of history…NDRC Premier was established in I believe 2011 (at least that's what it says on my jersey), built by a few alumni from the New College university team. This year is in fact, Iron Dragons' 20th season, which is actually older than some of the current members on the team (such babies). Since these teams' conception, several things had never happened that happened at this year's TIDBRF. (That was a bit of a confusing sentence; forgive me).
First off! Iron Dragons had their most successful TIDBRF yet. Iron Dragons Gold and Purple each medalled in their respective university finals (with Gold winning theirs) and Gold also won bronze in their community final. Iron Dragons Blue made the grand A final for the third year straight, which, to my knowledge, has never been done before by a university team (it would be remiss of me not to mention the fact that New College was the first university team to make the grand A final ever). Unfortunately, we did not manage to improve over our placement from last year (5th) and got 5th again this year in the 500 m final, which is nonetheless an impressive feat for a university team in a deep field. Teams 3-5, however, were extremely close, being within less than a second of each other, so it was very tight. Hammerheads got 3rd (seems to be a good year for them) and PDBC got 4th.
Iron Dragons Open, I am pleased to say, reached the podium in both distances: 3rd in both the 200 m and the 500 m. They were in fact actually second in the heat on Saturday, so they did quite well that weekend. They improved over last year's performance, where they got 4th in the 500 m by a narrow margin to Hammerheads. For a group of testosterone-fueled teenagers and 20-somethings, not bad!
Finally…for the first time in 20 years, Iron Dragons won the TIDBRF University Cup!!! I can't emphasize enough how big of a thing that is. New College has been quite the dominant force in modern history, with their name plastered all over the trophy (with a small corner occupied by Waterloo from the one year they took it). Even last year, when Iron Dragons did quite well when racing off against New College, they still didn't manage to take the Cup. First time! I was a little nervous ahead of time because I knew I wouldn't be able to be on their boat (due to scheduling conflicts with NDRC's 200 m community final) and because New College had beaten Iron Dragons in the 200 m university final at Pickering a few weeks prior. I was also a little glad that I wasn't on the boat, though, because then I could convince myself it was out of my hands after they left the dock and "relax" a little. I couldn't even watch their race because it was right before ours. Several NDRC members watched the beginning of their race from the water since we were warming up at the time, but I didn't want to because I wanted to focus on our race and because I knew watching would make me anxious. I knew they could do it, though, and I think they all really wanted it, and it showed. I was so excited for them! As soon as I could get to an Iron Dragons paddler after my race was over (it was Lily whom I first saw, I believe), I frantically asked how they did in their race because I didn't know. And when she told me they did it, I think I just melted. Definitely one of the biggest accomplishments of the season and one of my proudest moments as a coach.
On NDRC's end, there was a whirlwind of emotions. We entered two mixed teams (Green and Yellow), a women's team, and an open team. NDRC Women were coming into this competition as the 2015 champions so we had a title to defend. There were unfortunately only two teams entered, us and PDBC, but both teams raced hard nonetheless. NDRC Women dominated each race and reclaimed their title while PDBC put up a good fight. Very proud of these strong ladies.
Unlike at Pickering, NDRC put in two uneven mixed boats. Both teams were looking to do well and they both made it to the community A final. NDRC Yellow got 5th in the 200 m final, while NDRC Green was less than a tenth of a second slower than Warriors, getting 2nd. Close. So close. Tensions were building up. There was so much anticipation for the 500 m final.
For NDRC Open…we had special races. Saturday did not start out strong, with us actually coming in last place in the heat. It was not a good race. Because of it, we were seeded into lane 2 for the finals, which was the shallowest and slowest of the lanes. On Sunday, we cleaned it up, though, and had a much better 200 m final despite the slow lane, though we still came in 2nd to the Warriors (at least it was better than 4th!). For the 500 m final, it was a great race. Felt good, fast start, strong throughout…and then I messed up. I didn't see the last buoy and called the finish too early and then called "let it ride" one buoy too soon. The paddlers got confused and a few people stopped paddling but to their credit, they realized the situation very quickly and immediately got back into it to finish the race. 0.35 s. That was the margin between us and the Hounds. I couldn't believe what a stupid mistake that was. We were so, so close. I was just supremely thankful that we were far enough ahead of the rest of the field that at least we still got second and I didn't cost us the silver too. Nobody yelled at me. Nobody got angry with me. People were only angry with themselves. Nobody said a harsh word to me at all. And that is where the spirit of the team shone best. I so very much appreciated the support that this team has shown me and each other. The ability of NDRC to persevere through the adversity and to help one another back up is beautiful. After the race and the initial disappointment, everybody just picked it right back up and was even more determined to kill the next race. And that is why I love this team.
And then the 500 m grand A premier mixed final. Oh my God. What a ride.
NDRC Premier has never won the TIDBRF grand final. We've come in second so many times. In fact, we've come in second so many times the announcer even commented on it. As the race went on, he made sure to note the fact that the Warriors have been the TIDBRF champions for the last two years. BUT NOT THIS YEAR.
I didn't look up during the race, so I didn't really know how we were doing, but Miriam, our drummer, was telling us "keep it here" and "you got this," which I took as a good sign. Both Marcella and I thought "don't change a thing if we got this!" Usually when we're behind we get told "gotta go" and so when we weren't told that, I had hope. I almost never hear cheering from the sidelines, probably because I tune it out (or there isn't cheering, who knows), but this race I remember very vividly hearing the cheers from the grand stands. In my head I was thinking that most people have a soft spot for the underdogs and genuinely hoped for NDRC's success, so I actually felt very encouraged by the cheering. When we crossed that finish line and Chris called us down, we all looked over and exploded.
Tears, smiles, hugs, relief. There's a video of the race somewhere on YouTube. I've watched it over at least ten times. It never gets old.
That was a good race.
NDRC Yellow (finishing in 6th) was cheering right there with us. Some of them even before finishing their own race (ahem, Gavin). That's team spirit. As Gavin says, we need each other to succeed. Anybody's success is everybody's success and we push each other to push ourselves. None of it would have been possible without each and every team member. NDRC Yellow and Green won that race together.
Writing this post has let me relive the experience of that weekend. I started this post as soon as the competition ended because I didn't want to forget the feeling. But finishing it just now has let me relive and remember it even better. I want to remember the feeling of accomplishment after we have worked so hard and I hope we channel that feeling and drive, turning them to fuel for this weekend. Both NDRC and Iron Dragons have grown so much and with so much potential, I can't wait to see what we can do at Nationals.

David Lapierre is reminded of the beautiful moments
Gilles Lapierre is a man of few words, but we felt that the tribute paid to him by the Inouk, on Friday night, he got right to the heart.
"My father doesn't express easily his feelings in public, but I can tell you for sure that it was a lot fun," explained David, his son, who had teamed up with his recruiter-in-chief of father, in 2014, when the Inouk have won the Cup Napa.
David Lapierre had not seen a match of Inouk since 2016, since he said yes to Gilles Bouchard, to become his assistant behind the bench of the Huskies of Rouyn-Noranda, an adventure that lasted for two years.
"I have lived beautiful moments in this arena, has taken the son Lapierre. I've managed good players, I have directed beautiful teams and I will never forget what we experienced in the spring of 2014 when we won the cup. The arena was crowded, it was amazing. And lift the cup with my father, it was indeed magical, as he himself said in The Voice of the East. "
Lapierre now works for the hockey program from the école secondaire De Mortagne in Boucherville, one of the most famous in Quebec. And there please.
"I was lucky to receive this offer and be able to continue to make hockey a full-time after my departure from Rouyn. We are not tons to do in hockey full-time in Quebec. "
Lapierre, who now lives in Saint-Hyacinthe, the country of his girlfriend, may have the chance to return to a higher level. But for the time being, he likes the stability that gives him his job in Boucherville. And he loves to work with young people in full development.
David Lapierre has confessed that he had had the chills when the banner in honor of his father was elevated to the heights of the centre sportif Léonard-Grondin.
"My father has done a lot for the Inouk, but he has done a lot for the sport in Granby for short. I am very grateful to the organization for the gesture that it comes to ask. "
Jovani, the other son of Gilles Lapierre, has also accompanied his father on the red carpet. Jovani, remembered, played at the junior level AA Waterloo, as well as with the Husky de Cowansville, in the junior AAA.

A tepid recovery
Despite not being anywhere near robust, the rate at which the economy of The Bahamas has grown over the past two years isn't bad, per se, it simply isn't good enough.
The Department of Statistics recently revealed that the country's gross domestic product grew by 1.6 percent in 2018.
It's a figure that falls short of the 2.5 percent the International Monetary Fund (IMF) initially projected, and the 2.2 percent the government projected last November.
Upon learning this, most Bahamians shrugged a collective, "So what?"
Following the release of the underperforming GDP figures, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Peter Turnquest released a glowing statement about how positive a development this was after years of essentially flat economic growth.
And, of course, how we all had the current administration to thank for the good news of the "turnaround" and how "our policy mix is effectively placing us on a path of sustained growth".
It was clear political spin, divorced from the reality of our situation.
The economy of The Bahamas is indeed growing.
However, it is not nearly growing fast enough.
And it is those who drive consumption and growth – the poor and the working middle class small- to medium-sized business owner – who are being impacted the worst.
What Turnquest may never admit, but the correlation between the rate of inflation and the rise in last year's value-added tax (VAT) rate anecdotally shows, is that the government of The Bahamas has likely caused economic growth to slow due to the dampening effects of the tax hike from 7.5 percent to 12 percent.
Maybe it makes Turnquest sleep better at night to say things are looking up and then take a victory lap that neither he nor this administration has earned.
And perhaps whoever gave him the bad advice to raise regressive consumption taxes when the economy was still in a fragile state feels comfortable looking at one number in isolation as confirmation of their foresight.
But for the majority of Bahamians who are feeling stretched to the limit and worried their quality of life is rapidly diminishing, this latest "good news" of economic growth means very little in real terms.
Investment fund management firm CFAL summed up the key issues at play in our economy in its Quarter 1, 2019 Local Economic Update.
"While the government may be basking in the modest improvements in economic growth, a bigger dilemma is the inability of this growth to translate into a lower unemployment rate and declining debt levels," CFAL said.
"If the economy is expanding in areas that do not hire Bahamians or affect Bahamians directly, it is unlikely that the unemployment rate will decrease significantly below the structural norms and long-term sustainable growth will continue to be out of reach."
The fact is that the economy is not meeting the demands of our growing population.
The fact is that it makes no difference how much your economy grows if unemployment is not falling and people cannot comfortably pay their mortgages and spend and save comfortably.
Has the economy added jobs since the Free National Movement (FNM) came to power?
But the FNM had little to do with this success.
The FNM's May 2017 victory came on the heels of the opening of Baha Mar in April of that year.
This, as has been well documented, had almost nothing to do with them.
The Christie administration, in a massive gamble, successfully navigated the sale of Baha Mar to Hong Kong powerhouse Chow Tai Fook.
It was one of the few things that administration did that actually worked out.
But like petulant children, Prime Minister Dr. Hubert Minnis and Tourism Minister Dionisio D'Aguilar derided the hotel at every turn when it first opened.
Absent any alternative ideas to actually provide beneficial employment, however, they quickly changed their tune and started singing Baha Mar's praises.
The resort has hired 5,000 people in two years, fulfilling all its promises to the Bahamian people and more.
It has been one of the chief contributors to the economy's expansion.
Baha Mar's success has been incredible.
But even in light of that, what we see happening in real terms should raise red flags for economic watchdogs.
If a $3 billion development that hired 5,000 people could not drive the unemployment rate into single digits, it should help many understand just how troubled our economy is.
Squeezing a dry lime
The Bahamas has an antiquated tax and public service model.
The government of The Bahamas never collected a dollar it could not manage to waste on frivolity.
On top of this, The Bahamian economy is subject to shocks and the fortunes of the United States.
Hurricanes, for example, close ports, drying up tourist dollars that fuel the economy; as well as imports whose taxes the government recklessly has built its funding model on.
Storms also cost tens of millions of dollars to remedy, with the compound costs often totaling hundreds of millions of dollars.
The government is unlikely to be able to control the weather for the foreseeable future.
Yet, the feasibility of the government changing the current tax model seems just as out of reach if you listen to successive administrations.
Most average people didn't care about taxes until the introduction of VAT in January 2015.
Before that, they would lament a little when they brought in goods at the border from shopping trips, etc.
But most Bahamians didn't feel the customs and excise taxes, or at least didn't think too much about them, because they were already built into the cost of items when you went to the register.
VAT changed the game for Bahamians.
Firstly, they blanched at being asked to pay more taxes without specifically seeing where the other tax dollars went.
Then, as they saw the cost of goods go up and they had to pay taxes on services for the first time, rage set in.
Despite the rage, as far as the government was concerned, the VAT implementation was a roaring success.
Far more was collected than was projected.
But people on the ground didn't feel the success.
Unemployment remained above double digits.
GDP growth was anemic.
It is unclear why Turnquest and those in the Ministry of Finance felt that the economy had room to collect even more VAT from a population that was just adjusting to a 7.5 percent increase.
Instead of increasing VAT to "pay off" bills the Progressive Liberal Party "ran up", the last budget exercise was a unique opportunity to talk broader tax and economic reform.
It was an opportunity that was missed.
The government has not collected the VAT it projected it would, though VAT collection has indeed gone up with the rate increase.
The government has so far not collected the customs revenue it projected it would.
The government has so far not collected the real property tax it projected it would.
The government has not collected the gaming tax it projected it would.
The government has also not collected as much in business license fees as it projected it would.
That may change when Turnquest presents the 2019/2020 budget communication before the end of this month, but it likely won't.
Turnquest himself has admitted that revenue collection would likely come in around $200 million under the projection for fiscal year 2018/2019.
Turnquest may have to come to realize what many economists said when the VAT increase was announced – the money just isn't there.
Turnquest is looking for money from the poor and middle class working families.
They don't have it.
The increase in costs of electricity and everyday goods has led people to spend more for less.
It has led the poor and middle class to make harder choices as basic amenities and services have increased due to inflation.
The government of The Bahamas has picked all the limes off the tree of the poor and the working middle class and squeezed them dry.
Meanwhile, the tree of the merchant class flourishes, fat off the capital gains and dividends and corporate profits no administration sees fit to touch.
The rich play a pivotal role in the economy, but they are able to transfer increases in electricity costs and tax hikes to consumers.
Yes, a bad business environment is hurting their prospects as well.
But they will ultimately hurt proportionally less than those who fall below them on the socio-economic ladder.
Greater wealth distribution
This government's policies have taken their toll on the sector that drives much of the job creation in the country.
While it should have been unleashing the power of the small business and medium-sized business, it added pressure.
As mentioned, there was 1.6 percent real GDP growth in the Bahamian economy in 2018.
By comparison, the U.S. economy grew by 2.9 percent in 2018.
The U.S. economic boom has led to record tourist numbers in The Bahamas.
But that hasn't translated to commensurate job growth in The Bahamas.
The number of employed people has grown to a record number.
However, the number of people entering the labor force has steadily kept up.
There are over 25,000 unemployed people in the country, according to the November 2018 labor force survey.
However, the government appears to have no plan to tackle this.
The Small Business Development Center (SBDC), a worthwhile creation of this administration, did a deep dive last year into the metrics of the micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSME) sector of the Bahamian economy.
The data reveals that MSMEs "represent 98 percent of all registered companies and account for 20 percent of all turnover in the country, meaning 80 percent of the turnover in the country is produced by two percent of companies", The Guardian's Chester Robards reported last September.
An MSME was defined as having under $5 million in turnover annually and fewer than 50 employees.
"The data provided by the SBDC also reveals that MSMEs account for 47 percent of total employees, while large companies account for 53 percent. She contended that the disparity between the number of employees in MSMEs and their annual turnover as compared to large businesses, means there appears to be a 'strain' somewhere in the sector," Robards reported.
While the SDBC is a great idea, it isn't widespread enough to do enough rapidly enough.
SBDC Executive Director Davinia Blair said the goal of the SBDC is "greater wealth distribution among Bahamians".
This should be the goal of the entire Minnis administration every day of the year.
Wealth in The Bahamas is far too concentrated.
Without sounding too much like a godless socialist, it needs to be more evenly held.
The poor are left with nothing; the middle class, the bare minimum.
Middle class families in The Bahamas should be in a position through their jobs to have robust savings and dynamic options to invest them.
Middle class families can drive economic growth and pick up much of the slack that keeps the unemployment rate steadily high.
If middle class families could invest their savings into opening businesses in an environment where businesses were actually easy to open, and not maddeningly complicated in a tangled bureaucracy, they could hire staff to sustain these businesses.
This could represent hundreds of new businesses and thousands of new hires in a dynamic environment.
That environment could be fostered by the government-controlled power provider lowering energy costs dramatically so that it would not be prohibitively expensive to operate them.
That environment could pick up steam by targeting the rich to pay a more proportionate share of tax revenue and dramatically lowering border taxes and consumption taxes.
Lowering tariffs and making goods more affordable would increase traffic in MSMEs.
Healthy businesses like these could employ many who leave high school and help them to fend for themselves and not eat into their parents' earnings as they likely approach retirement.
If you take pressure off the poor, despite the gift that keeps on giving of duty-free corned beef, they, too, can save and move into the middle class.
By owning businesses, increasing savings, paying off homes and positioning themselves to transfer wealth to the next generation, many in the middle class will thrive and economic expansion will ensue.
The government should seek to create an environment where ingenuity can find a foothold in an economy that naturally wants to grow.
Growth projections and data mean nothing to voters who see no tangible improvement in their lives.
If this government cannot measurably improve the lives of the majority of the people of The Bahamas in terms of how able they are to take care of themselves and their families, then it is of no meaningful use to anyone and we would all be better off with a different one.

Several individuals are not very educated when it arrives to fishing. Others have skilled talents and have even received awards. In spite of your ability degree, you can usually learn new strategies and methods. Everyone out there could stand to increase their fishing method. The following suggestions can assist you become a better fisherman.
If you are fishing in a stream or river, cast your line upstream and let the present to take your lure into the fishing hole. This results in a far more natural visual appeal, increasing your opportunity of a fish hitting on it. Be cautious of how significantly slack line you leave in the h2o will not leave an extreme sum.
Make confident you are making use of the sharpest hooks, as they will permit you to catch the most amount of fish. If your hook is uninteresting, a fish will appear for the bait, but not be caught with the hook. Sharpen your hook prior to the working day you intend to fish so you will not have to mess with it on the large working day.
When you are deep sea fishing, watch for signs of fish nearby. Maintain an eye out for driftwood or other floating products. Often you may find match fish that are large in these regions. Also seem for seagulls who are consuming tiny fish, as this typically implies that bigger fish are situated underneath the water's surface.
Pay interest to the climate when you are fishing, specifically the wind. For the duration of windy conditions, fish are inclined to follow alongside with the present. They usually end up grouped together on one particular particular side of a lake. When casting, toss into the wind. A sturdy wing will trigger the fish to stay at the base, so casting into the wind with a brief line will not assist in any case.
Fishing is all about catching fish. So find out all that you can in buy to grow to be productive when it comes to fishing. On your up coming fishing excursion, use the tips you have learned right here, and you could ultimately catch the one particular that received absent.

Happy Fall, teacher friends! Are you a fan of clip cards?? I sure am, and my students are too! Combine them with adorable fall clipart and it's the perfect mix for some Fall Counting Clip Cards!
*Pair this with our Fall Centers and Activities for Pre-K and Kinder!
Fall Counting Clip Cards
These cards focus on counting and number identification for numbers 1-10.
They're sure to be a great addition to your morning tubs or math centers.
If you don't know what clip cards are, no worries! I'm here to share how they work, give you an alternative way to use them, as well as provide a few ideas to help you support your students.
- Fall Counting Clip Cards (at end of post)
- Clothespins
The very first thing you'll need to do is print these 10 cards and, of course, laminate them for durability. Once you have them ready to go, set them out with clothespins.
The objective of using these clip cards is for students to practice counting a group of objects.
They'll need to demonstrate 1:1 correspondence and an understanding that the last number said is the number of objects there are.
Additionally, by using these clip cards, your students will be demonstrating their ability to identify numbers 1-10.
Related Resource: Kindergarten Clip Cards Bundle
How to Play
For this activity, students will select a card and count the fall-themed pictures shown the card.
Then, they'll find that number on the card and clip the clothespin to that number.
This is a fantastic way to tie in fine motor practice with math.
An Alternative Idea:
I'm not ashamed to admit that there have been times when I have misplaced (cough, cough, lost) my clothespins. If you find yourself without any clothespins on hand, this alternative idea is the solution you need!
Replace the clothespins with dry erase markers. Rather than clipping a clothespin to the corresponding number on the card, students use a dry erase marker to circle the number.
Support Your Students:
For students who need support with number identification: Have a number line on hand. After students count the pictures on the card, they count down the number line until they get to the number they said.
For students who need support with 1:1 correspondence: Give them a tool to help them mark or cover up the pictures they've counted.
One idea would be to have them make a small mark on each picture as they count it. This will help them correlate touching/counting a picture with a number. It will also help prevent them from recounting the same picture more than once.
I hope that you and your students love these Fall Counting Clip Cards!
You can grab them for FREE by clicking the large, yellow download button below.

AceShowbiz - Celebrities gathered at Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Wednesday, July 10 to attend the 27th Annual Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly Awards, which are celebrating outstanding professional and amateur athletes in a wide variety of sports. But before winners were announced during the ceremony, these stars showed off their best fashion on the red carpet.
Among those who stole attention during the red carpet portion were Ciara and Gabrielle Union. The "Level Up" singer, who accompanied husband Russell Wilson at the event, turned heads in a regal black gown that had modern cutouts on its front and back, a deep V-neck cut and a major slit that ran up her thigh. She complemented the daring look with matching heels and had her long raven waves parted down the middle.
Gabrielle, on the other hand, arrived at the event with husband Dwyane Wade. The "America's Got Talent" judge looked stunning in a structural patterned mini dress that has puffy shoulders. Meanwhile, the former NBA star rocked a white suit.
Another star who caught people's attention on the red carpet was former UCLA gymnast Katelyn Ohashi, who made sure that her first appearance at the annual award-giving show was a memorable one. Katelyn, who made waves on the Internet in January when footage of her perfect 10-scoring floor routine went viral, once again dazzled people by posing while in an epic handstand.
In a video that was shared on espnW's official Twitter account, Katelyn was seen taking a few steps before turning upside down. Her heels dangled above her head as she smiled for the camera. For the event, she wore a cap-sleeve sheer lace jumpsuit with high-waisted white shorts and a matching tub top layered underneath. She teamed her look with silver bracelets and hoop earrings.
Take a look at what other celebrities wore at the event below.
Ciara and Russell Wilson, who recently celebrated their third wedding anniversary, were twinning in black.
Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade looked as loved up as ever on the red carpet.
Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Camille Kostek showed off plenty of leg in a plunging, high-slit dress when she arrived with Rob Gronkowski.
Before serving his hosting duty at this year's event, Tracy Morgan posed on the red carpet with wife Megan Wollover.
Elle Fanning looked stunning in a floor-length asymmetrical silver gown.
Tori Kelly, who performed "In Times Like These" at the event, made her presence felt on the red carpet with her sheer red mini dress.
Linda Cardellini looked sweet in a romantic black dress and strappy gold heels.
Losing her leg didn't stop Kirstie Ennis from showing off her glam in a gold dress.
Lindsey Vonn showed off her muscular thigh in a skimpy silver-embellished gown and strappy stilettos.
Usher kept things cool in a matching houndstooth outfit.
Odell Beckham Jr. got rid of his trademark blonde hair and was rocking a shorter, darker hairstyle when he hit the red carpet.
Instead of the classic black-and-white suit, Zachary Levi opted for a lavender blazer and matching pants.

If you love both these sweets, try them together. They're easy:
1) Start with your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe.
2) Fill each muffin tin with about a tablespoon of dough.
3) Bake for about half the recipe time and remove from the oven.
4) Push a Rolo candy into the center so the tops are even and finish the baking.
These taste unbelievably gooey and good when warm. Once they've cooled, just microwave for about 10 seconds to warm up the caramel again. Get out a spoon because it's the only way to eat these treats!
And don't be afraid to mix it up. Instead of chocolate chips, try them with butterscotch chips then the Rolo.

Forty-six year old Reverend Ernst Toller is the pastor at the historic First Reformed Church in upstate New York.

First Reformed is celebrating its two hundred fiftieth anniversary this year, for which a major event is planned, modest in size only at First Reformed itself although the dignitaries like the governor and mayor will be at attendance there, while the event will be simulcast at Abundant Life. Most of the speech-making will be done by local industrialist Ed Balq, a major benefactor of Abundant Life and who is the major donor for the necessary upgrades at First Reformed to be able to hold the event there, and for the event itself, while Toller's participation will ...

July 19, 2019
Maybe cheese and wine get better with age, but people? Not so much. The human face and body tend to sag, wrinkle, and discolor as the years go on—no matter how good the bone structure.
So why is everyone on social media so excited about a new smartphone app that allows users to upload selfies and see their future faces, replete with jowls and graying hair?
Celebrities such as Drake, LeBron James, and the Jonas Brothers all have used the instant aging app, much to fans' delight.
In fact, according to a report by The Washington Post, FaceApp has altered photos for more than 80 million users since its 2017 release; and allows smartphone users to change a facial photo's age, gender, or hairstyle—often with convincing results. The app uses artificial-intelligence software to automatically alter the photos in seconds, much like similar features offered by Instagram and Snapchat.
But there is one major catch, we are just finding out: On July 17, the Democratic National Committee warned presidential campaigns against using the viral face-transforming FaceApp, citing the software's Russian developers. It urged campaign staff to "delete the app immediately."
"This novelty is not without risk: FaceApp was developed by Russians," DNC Security Chief Bob Lord wrote in the alert to campaigns, which was first reported by CNN. "It's not clear at this point what the privacy risks are, but what is clear is that the benefits of avoiding the app outweigh the risks.
Founder and CEO Yaroslav Goncharov told The Washington Post that FaceApp's research-and-development team is based in Russia but that no user data is transferred into the country, and "most images" are deleted from company servers within 48 hours.
However, the app's terms of service say users grant the company a "perpetual, irrevocable . . . [and] worldwide" license to use a user's photos, name or likeness in practically any way it sees fit, the Post points out.
If a user deletes content from the app, FaceApp can still store and use it, the terms say. FaceApp also says it can't guarantee that users' data or information is secure and that the company can share user information with other companies and third-party advertisers, which aren't disclosed in the privacy terms.
Goncharov said that users who want to remove their data from FaceApp can make the request through the app by clicking "Settings," then "Support," then "Report a bug" with "privacy" in the subject line. "Our support team is currently overloaded, but these requests have our priority," a company statement read.
FaceApp's terms of service say it can share information with a government agency if a subpoena, court order or search warrant is issued and the company has "a good faith belief that the law requires" it to do so. This information can also be shared with any country that FaceApp maintains facilities in, including Russia.
According to the Post, people who use the app also "consent to the processing, transfer and storage of information about you in and to the United States and other countries, where you may not have the same rights and protections as you do under local law."
Kate O'Neill, a tech consultant, told the news outlet that FaceApp's privacy terms are still murky, despite the company's clarification. "People should be savvy about when apps and memes and games are encouraging everyone to engage in the same way," she said. "It puts the data in a vulnerable state that becomes something that can train facial recognition and other kinds of systems that may not be intended the way people are using it."

Switching to commercial solar lighting is a great way to increase your business's energy savings. However, designing and setting up the lights can be a challenging process. It's vital that the solar lighting project is carefully planned so that designers and engineers can connect the lights in a neat and orderly fashion to ensure maximum efficiency.
Here are some tips for designing a solar lighting project to make the job easier:
Before you start installing any commercial solar lighting, you must know the light level requirements of your city. The light level (a.k.a. illuminance) is the amount of light that's measured in a plane surface or the total flux incident on a surface per unit area. You'll also want to learn the local building codes and requirements to ensure that you get the proper light level for your project.
If you need help figuring out the light level requirement of your area, you can hire an accredited technician to assist you.
Once you know the light level requirements for your project, the next step is to determine the area of illumination. Each lighting fixture emits its own pattern so knowing the type of illumination your property requires will help lighting designers and engineers understand the light level qualifications of the area.
Typically, standard light operations last from dusk till dawn. However, as lighting technologies and techniques improve, it's possible for lighting systems to feature dimming or split-time operation. To ensure that your solar lighting can operate in either standard or advanced operations, you have to make sure it's sized properly to operate the required operation profile.
Remember to regularly talk to the engineer or lighting professional who's helping you out with this project. The expert will know what wattage fixture is required to correspond with the type of solar lighting you have. They also know the appropriate design patterns to ensure that the lights aren't oversized and won't waste energy.
Once all the requirements are met and understood, you can begin designing and installing and the commercial solar lights. For help with your project, don't hesitate to contact Luma Dynamics online or give us a call at 844-202-7414 for help. Our company is your dependable lighting expert in Jacksonville, Miami, and Tampa, Florida. We have experience working with all kinds of solar panels, so we can easily install the solar lighting in any part of your commercial property. Plus, you can count on us to provide high-quality backup batteries for superior storage capacity and to prepare for potential power outages.

What every best Ranges has:
- Reliable cooktop performance.
- A variety of burner sizes.
- Consistent oven temperatures.
Best electric range
Freestanding electric ranges are commonplace in home kitchens. They are generally the most affordable type of kitchen range and testing shows the latest models do an excellent job of cooking all types of dishes. While the sky is the limit on pricing and features, you don't have to break the bank to get a reliable, sleek-looking range, some of the best-performing models are also among the most affordable.
If you want a top-performing range that won't break the bank, the GE JB750SJSS (Est. $950) looks to be the top choice. It's not been reviewed by Consumer Reports, but CNET has given it a thorough test and comes away very impressed. "Sneaky good performance from an unassuming oven," Ashlee Clark Thompson says. Users agree; we found a couple of hundred user reviews at sites like Best Buy, Home Depot and Lowe's, and everywhere you look, user satisfaction is similar at around 4.5 stars.
Cooking performance is where a range needs to shine, and the GE JB750SJSS doesn't disappoint. Professionals and users say the smoothtop cooktop heats up fast and does an excellent job in all areas, from maintaining a steady simmer to quickly bringing ingredients to a rolling boil. CNET gives the special credit for its performance in cooking a test chicken using the oven's convection roast setting -- saying it compares favorably with what's seen in ovens costing more than five times as much. "The skin was golden brown and crispy, and the meat was as juicy as could be," Clark says. Broiling performance was a little on the slow side, CNET reports, but at 16 minutes to broil six hamburgers, "this oven was still faster than some more expensive ranges we've tested."
The GE JB750SJSS features five cooktop elements, including a dual-power 6-inch/9-inch one that can deliver up to 3,100 watts of power and a 12-inch/9-inch one that can deliver 3,000 watts. The other elements include two 6-inch burners that deliver up to 1,200 watts and a 6-inch center warming element that delivers 80 watts. The 5.3-cubic-foot oven offers modes for convection as well as conventional cooking -- and the convection setting is reported as excellent by those who bought it specifically for that feature, backing up CNETs findings. It's a little smaller than you'll find on some competing ranges, but still should be sufficient to handle the needs of a typical family
At this price you won't find too many extra features, but a steam clean feature draws some kudos. The JB750SJSS has a stainless steel finish, but you can also find the same stove in a variety of other colors, including white as the GE JB750DJWW (Est. $950), black as the GE JB750DJBB (Est. $950), slate as the GE JB750EJES (Est. $950), black slate as the GE JB750FJDS (Est. $1,100) and black stainless as the GE JB750BJTS (Est. $1,100).
The reason the GE JB750SJSS was chosen by us as our Best Reviewed pick is because it's a good performing range that is also very affordable. However, if you're looking for an upgrade, and have a bigger budget, we found a few very well-reviewed higher-end models also have upgraded features. However, keep in mind that prices on ranges will vary quite a bit -- retailers often offer significant markdowns when they put the appliances on sale, so, if you have your eye on one, it may pay to keep an eye on the price. We use the price that the range was at when we reviewed it, that price may not be the one you see.
The top pick at Consumer Reports in the single-oven electric range category is the Kenmore Elite 95052 (Est. $900), which earns Excellent scores for both low and high cooktop temperatures, baking, and self-cleaning; Very Good for broiling and oven capacity. But what keeps the Kenmore 95052 out of our top spot is that user feedback is neither as robust, nor as positive. We spotted fewer than 125 reviews across all three of this range's color options and, while they aren't terrible, they're not quite up to the high ratings that the GE JB750SJSS gets.
Still, most say they love the look of this white, smoothtop range, which doesn't show smudges at much as black cooktops do, and that it's a top performer in all tasks. A few of the lower ratings we saw are from those who are displeased that it comes with a warming drawer instead of a storage drawer, but even more say they love being able to keep their food warm while they finish prepping the rest of the meal or while waiting for family members to show up. A few also complain that the smoothtop is tough to keep clean, but that's a common complaint with this type of electric range.
This range also comes in stainless steel as the Kenmore 95053 (Est. $1,000) and black as the Kenmore 95059 (Est. $1,000); both of those colors have a black cooktop.
If you want a pro-style range at a price that's a little lower than many professional-grade ovens, look no further than the Frigidaire Professional FPEH3077RF (Est. $2,070). It's an Editors' Choice and Product of the Year winner at Reviewed, with an overall score of a perfect 10 out of 10, and is named the top electric range after testing at Good Housekeeping. The FPEH3077RF has the look of a slide-in but will fit into the space of a freestanding model. "It's a handsome range, covered in a flat expanse of smudge-proof stainless steel and topped with a black electric rangetop," says Reviewed's Kori Perten. "Handles are shiny and set into pro-style brackets—a look that stands on its own without mimicking pricier models."
But the Frigidaire FPEH3077RF's beauty is more than skin deep. "The oven and stovetop heat evenly, so you can bake perfectly browned cakes and steadily simmer a Bolognese without scorching," the editors at Good Housekeeping say. The stovetop has four cooking elements plus a keep warm element. The cooking elements range up to 12 inches and 3,000 watts, and two can be bridged to accommodate long cookware, such as a griddle. The 6.1-cubic foot oven has a convection cooking mode. Other features include a built-in temperature probe and a storage drawer. Owners appreciate the versatility that all of those features give the FPEH3077RF, with many saying it's particularly handy if you frequently cook for a lot of people. Among the feedback we spotted was a 4.5 star rating at Lowe's, based on more than 425 reviews (including some posted at the manufacturer's web site).
But while the overall tenor of the feedback is positive, we did see some dissenting voices. CNET, for example, is less impressed, finding "too many minor annoyances for an appliance at this price," including some convoluted controls and excessive smoke when broiling hamburgers, thought that last complaint isn't widely echoed in user comments. Negative user comments about the Frigidaire FPEH3077RF don't follow any real pattern, although one appears over and over: the timer is too quiet and sounds only briefly. Quite a few owners say they've had to purchase a separate timer or use their phone. In spite of that, most love the range, and say it works wonderfully. And, of course, all agree that it's very attractive.
While the Frigidaire Professional FPEH3077RF gives you the look of a built-in, it lacks the full seamlessness of a true slide-in, which has a slightly wider stovetop that sits on top of a kitchen counter. This styling makes kitchen clean up easier because it eliminates the gap between the stovetop and counter that typically winds up being a trap for crumbs and spills.
If your kitchen is designed to accommodate a slide-in electric range, the 5.8-cubic-foot Samsung NE58F9500SS (Est. $1,560) is worth a look. It costs more than a freestanding single oven range like the GE JB750SJSS, but is relatively inexpensive compared to many slide-in models. It's the top-rated single-oven slide-in electric smoothtop range at Consumer Reports, where it earns a Recommended nod, and is an Editors' Choice selection at Reviewed, where James Aitchison says the extra features and ease of use "more than justifies its hefty price tag."
This Samsung range is loaded with features, including a convection oven with a broiler, food temperature probe and LED display. There are five burners, including a warming burner, and a storage drawer. This slide-in range has been available for a few years now, enough time for it to build a good number of reviews to show that owners like it just as well as the experts do. In the hundreds of comments we evaluated at sites such as Best Buy and Home Depot, the vast majority say they are very happy with this range, adding that it's easy to clean and use and that they love the way it looks in their kitchen. More importantly, they praise its great performance in all aspects of cooking. The only real complaint we saw was that the black cooktop shows every smudge -- a not uncommon complaint about all black smoothtop cooktops.
If you want the ultimate in flexibility out of your range, without breaking the bank, we highly recommend taking a look at the Samsung NE59J7850WS (Est. $1,560). It gets excellent feedback from owners and experts, including Recommended status at Consumer Reports, with Excellent or Very Good scores in every measure of cooking performance. It's also an Editors' Choice selection and Best of the Year winner at Reviewed, where Kori Perten largely applauds both performance and value.
This oven uses Samsung's Flex Duo system; unlike traditional double oven ranges, it gives the cook the option of using a single 5.9 cubic foot cavity oven, or splitting that space with a removable ceramic divider to create dual, independent ovens with capacities of 2.7 cubic feet for the upper cavity and 3 cubic feet for the lower one. To aid in flexibility, the oven features a split door system that lets you open the door for just the top cavity, or for the entire oven.
However, this flexibility comes with some limitations. For example, the top oven lacks a standard bake setting, Reviewed notes, meaning you need to bake with fan convection if using the top oven; true convection cooking is available in the lower oven, or the entire oven if you remove the divider. Also, while you can bake in the lower oven while broiling in the upper one, "the lower oven can't be set below 400°F—or 325°F if you're broiling on Low."
All of that means that there's a little bit of a learning curve in mastering how to use this double oven to maximum advantage, and Perten says that spending some time with the owner's manual is a must. However, that learning curve doesn't seem to hinder owner enjoyment too much. User feedback is quite good, including a 4.6 star rating at Best Buy based on over 600 reviews.
Of course, there's more to this oven than the convertible oven cavity. The five burner stove top includes two bridgeable 1,800 watt burners (which can be used independently or together to handle large pans and casseroles), a 6-inch/9-inch/12-inch tri-element burner with a maximum output of 3,000 watts, a 6-inch 1,200 watt burner, and a low-output center element warm zone. "The NE59J7850WS's main appeal may be its flexible oven space, but if not for the unique oven design, we'd be inclined to name its electric rangetop the star of the show," Perten says. CNET, which also gives this oven largely positive feedback, notes some unique oven modes including bread proof, dehydrate and slow cook. There's also a warming drawer -- something not often found in double oven models -- that can also be used to store the divider when not in use.
If you would be more interested in a traditional double oven range, last year's top pick in this category, the LG LDE4415ST (Est. $1,620) remains available and still worth considering. It gets excellent feedback from owners and experts, including Recommended status at Consumer Reports, with Excellent scores for cooktop performance and oven capacity; Very Good for broiling, baking and self-cleaning. It also earns raves at Good Housekeeping, earning an overall 4-star rating, with editors saying, "When it comes to flexibility and convenience, it doesn't get much better than the feature-rich LG 7.3 cu. ft. Electric Double Oven Range."
However, some other experts aren't quite as impressed. CNET's Ashlee Clark Thompson complains that the range's specialized cooking modes over-promise and under-deliver, but adds that "Once you strip away the bells and whistles, the LG LDE4415ST is a solid range that covers basic cooking well. Opt for this model if you prioritize the flexibility that double-oven cooking brings or find yourself needing to cook chicken in a hurry (hey, it happens)." Reviewed also gives it only so-so feedback. Jessica Teich says that it's "a fairly expensive double oven range with a great cooktop and two lackluster ovens."
Owners break the tie among experts, however, and break it in favor of the oven. For example, it earns a solid 4.5 stars at Home Depot, with most saying that the LG LDE4415ST is a beautiful range inside and out, heats quickly and performs excellently in all cooking tasks. They really appreciate the double oven, although most use the top oven, which is a bit smaller at 3 cubic feet than the 4.3 cubic feet lower oven, but they like having the flexibility when they have bigger crowds or are baking or cooking for an occasion. Even the editors at Good Housekeeping are impressed with this oven's suitability for families, saying you can cook chicken nuggets for the kids in one oven, while broiling salmon or baking in the other.
The LG LDE4415ST has more features than just a double oven, though. The stovetop has four burner elements, two low power and two variable power ones; the latter ones can accommodate pot sizes of up to 12-inches and offer power output as high as 3,200 watts. There's no warming drawer (nor a storage one because of the dual oven configuration) but there is a 7-inch warming element that serves the same purpose. The upper, larger oven has a convection feature, but the lower oven is a conventional one. The oven has a number of specialized modes, and many, like the Speed Roast setting, work well, while others, such as a Pizza mode, were a disappointment in CNET's testing -- Thompson suggests following the directions on the pizza box instead.
The LG LDE4415ST is also compatible with LGs SmartOven Android app, which lets you change oven settings using a smartphone or tablet; however, you have to have your phone right next to the range to connect, and its usefulness is very limited. This version is stainless steel, but it's also available in black stainless steel as the LG LDE4415BD (Est. $1,710).
It's pricier, but if you want a slide in double oven, feedback indicates that the Samsung NE58F9710WS (Est. $2,000) is a top choice. Though it lacks the split door found in the Samsung NE59J7850WS (profiled above), it feature's the same Flex Duo design, which means you can use it as a single oven, or insert a divider to make it a double oven.
The Flex Duo system in this Samsung oven has the same pluses -- and minuses -- discussed when we covered the NE59J7850WS. It offers cooks the option of using a single 5.8 cubic-foot oven or splitting that into two independent ovens of 2.4 cubic feet (top) and 3.3 cubic feet (bottom). However, there are also some limitations on how each cavity can be used when the oven is split, so you'll need to overcome a small learning curve to get the most out of the oven.
Doesn't matter, though; most experts and most users give the Samsung NE58F9710WS top grades anyway. It's the top-rated smoothtop double oven at Consumer Reports, and earns Recommended status there. It's also an Editors' Choice at Reviewed and earns a 4 star rating at CNET, one of the better grades awarded any oven by that site. It's been on the market for a few years now, more than enough time to build up a track record among users, including a 4.6 star rating at Best Buy based on more than 180 reviews.
The Samsung NE58F9710WS draws praise across the board for its design and overall good looks. "While the Flex Duo System is undoubtedly the star of the show, the NE58F9710WS also features a slick "transitional" design that blends hefty controls with an innovative control panel," Reviewed says. "The overall look will match any kitchen, and the slide-in format gives the appearance of being part of the original cabinetry design."
But performance is what's most important, and the NE58F9500SS doesn't disappoint. Expert and user reviewers give it high marks in basically all of the cooking tests it was tasked with, both on the cooktop (which sports the same compliment of burners found on the NE59J7850WS) and in the oven itself. Although, as noted, it's been around for a few years, or maybe because it's been around for a few years, the NE58F9500SS looks to be a great choice if you want a really versatile, slide in double oven upgrade.

Feds Continue To Renew Contracts With Private Prisons
The U.S. Department of Justice said in August the federal government would look to begin to "phasing out" its use of private prisons, but three months later, private prison companies continue to win new contracts.
CoreCivic, the new name for the private prison company formerly known as Corrections Corporation of America, announced on Nov. 17 it had renewed its contract with the Federal Bureau of Prisons to operate the McRae Correctional Facility in McRae, Georgia, according to The Tennessean.
"We appreciate BOP's continued trust and partnership with CoreCivic through the extension of our contract at the McRae Correctional Facility," said Damon T. Hininger, CoreCivic's president and chief executive officer. "I am proud of the high-quality service provided by hundreds of CoreCivic's corrections professionals at McRae, and we look forward to continuing to provide the BOP with flexible, cost-effective capacity solutions to address their needs as they evolve."
Two weeks earlier, on Sep. 30, private prison contractor GEO Group announced it was renewing its contract with the Federal Bureau of Prisons to operate the D. Ray James Correctional Facility in Folkston, Georgia, according to Business Wire.
"We are very appreciative of the continued confidence placed in our company by the Federal Bureau of Prisons with this important contract renewal," said George C. Zoley, GEO Group's chairman and CEO.
In a Department of Justice memo on Aug. 18, Deputy Attorney General Sally Q. Yates wrote: "Today, I sent a memo to the Acting Director of the Bureau of Prisons directing that, as each private prison contract reaches the end of its term, the bureau should either decline to renew that contract or substantially reduce its scope in a manner consistent with law and the overall decline of the bureau's inmate population."
She added: "This is the first step in the process of reducing -- and ultimately ending -- our use of privately operated prisons."
But Azadeh Shahshahani, a legal and advocacy director of Project South, an anti-racism group based in Atlanta, doesn't see how the renewal of private prison contracts indicate that's what's happening.
"This track record doesn't show at least any short-term determination to abide by the mandate established in [the DOJ] memo," Shahshahani told Quartz.

Been reading Anna Karenina for the past couple of days. I have read many good prose writers but Tolstoy is of a different order. Extraordinary ! Nothing escapes his gaze. Every minute detail is absorbed and presented as if it is a slow moving real picture. The writing bursts with attention to detail and yet nowhere did I feel bored or suffocated due to the abundance of detail (till now) nor has my attention sagged. Some books, if they have to be understood, enjoyed, internalized and respected ought to be read after a particular age.. Happy to have reached that age.
Terrific job by translators Richard Peavar and Larissa Volokhonsky.
Two of the numerous examples that I have encountered and quite liked:
" Vronsky followed the conductor to the carriage and at the door to the compartment stopped to allow a lady to leave. With the habitual flair of a worldly man, Vronsky determined from one glance at this lady's appearance that she belonged to high society. He excused himself and was about to enter the carriage, but felt a need to glance at her once more – not because she was very beautiful, not because of the elegance and modest grace that could be seen in her whole figure, but because there was something especially gentle and tender in the expression of her sweet–looking face as she stepped past him. As he looked back, she also turned her head. Her shining grey eyes, which seemed dark because of their thick lashes, rested amiably and attentively on his face, as if she recognized him, and at once wandered over the approaching crowd as though looking for someone. In that brief glance Vronsky had time to notice the restrained animation that played over her face and fluttered between her shining eyes and the barely noticeable smile that curved her red lips. It was as if a surplus of something so overflowed her being that it expressed itself beyond her will, now in the brightness of her glance, now in her smile. She deliberately extinguished the light in her eyes, but it shone against her will in a barely noticeable smile"
Internal, external, movement, flow everything is captured as if it is a slow moving picture
"When Anna came in, Dolly was sitting in the small drawing room with a plump, tow– headed boy who already resembled his father, listening as he recited a French lesson. The boy was reading, his hand twisting and trying to tear off the barely attached button of his jacket. His mother took his hand away several times, but the plump little hand would take hold of the button again. His mother tore the button off and put it in her pocket"
Hope to write a full piece after I am done with it…

Ok. If I had to guess, it'd be financial services or investment firm, insurance or real estate, because these guys sound like the ones I've been working with! I left out the public accounting guys from whom I learned ALL the colorful language, since you are studying accounting now (I think, anyway).
And from my vantage point of vast male co-worker experience, the answer to the title's question is
NO. But it's fun to watch them try :)

I know what you're thinking, a sequin pencil skirt is crazy, and you're right, it is! But it's also a super fun way to add a little zest into your wardrobe. Often, it's these pieces that are going to be a interesting conversation starter. I tried this colorful sequin pencil skirt on at Anthropologie while working on a blog post last month and I just knew it was coming home with me.

A Sequin Pencil Skirt Might not Be Practical but It Sure is Magical
I have to say that not everything in my closet is practical. It's one of the reasons why I don't follow the capsule wardrobe method. But I do prescribe to the method that you should love what's in your closet. What you love is different for everyone. What I love happens to be unique pieces, along with classic pieces, mixed and matched right alongside one another cohesively. (It's also one of the reasons I know I'm doing what I love. I can mix/match like a boss!)
That's the point of something like a sequin pencil skirt, or a tulle skirt, or any piece that makes you feel like you've just scored a room or seat upgrade when traveling! Sometimes, it's okay to opt for a piece that isn't practical but rather, magical. I can tell you that when you go with your gut that comes with it's own sense of satisfaction. It's like putting on your favorite pair of jeans, only these jeans are sprinkled with sequins.
So just a secret between you and me, it's okay to be minimal and it's okay to be a maximist. It's purely about allowing yourself the freedom to read your inner voice that tells you, 'you rock'. And that, my friends, whether it be a oversized black sweater or a sequin pencil skirt, is truly beautiful. How do I pair something that has so much character? I downsize the rest of my outfit. That means, I wear simple jewelry, a simple top, and a classic (buy maybe colorful) shoe! Viola!

In the world of sports, other than sportsmen and women who do incredible things in their respective areas and in turn, emerge fan favourites, a crop of non-sporting celebrities who also enjoy a relatively large following and are equally celebrated in their respective sectors are sports reporters and anchors. One of such sports celebrity is Amanda Balionis, a CBS sports anchor who has covered many professional golf tournaments of both men and women, football and lacrosse.
Beyond covering and making reports of any sporting activity, Amanda has an interesting life which you will soon learn about below.
Amanda Balionis Bio, Age
The American sports reporter was born to Anthony Balionis and Dana Balionis in the 1980s. While some reports have it that she was born in 1987, others stated 1986 or 1985. Nevertheless, they all agreed she was born on August 6, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. By the age of 10, the little girl relocated to Lancaster, Pennsylvania as her parents changed their abode.
Born into a sporting family, particularly one that fancied golf a lot, she was naturally inclined to the sport and as well, participated in other sports. During her high school days in Manheim Township High School where she studied from the year 2000 through 2004, Amanda Balionis played volleyball with her school's team and proved herself to be an indispensable member of the team.
Following her high school graduation, she enrolled at Hofstra University where she subsequently graduated in 2008 with a Broadcast Journalism degree. As someone who already knew she would make a living talking about sports, Amanda was active with WRHU radio station, in addition to writing for The Chronicle student newspaper and the Association for Women in Communications.
From the foregoing, Amanda Balionis actually started pursuing her career before her graduation. She interned for New York Jets, CBS 2, the New York Islanders and ABC News NOW while still in college. As she graduated, the Pittsburgh-born sports enthusiast secured a job as a reporter for Lancaster Newspaper. She did this job for one year including hosting a weekly online segment before beginning a higher phase of her career on TV.
AB began her television career as a sideline reporter who covered Rutgers Women's soccer & basketball competitions of high school teams for Verizon Sports. In no distant time, Amanda started covering "High School Game of the Week" and then came her coverage of football and volleyball games for MSG Varsity.
She attained another career milestone in March 2011 when she became an anchor and reporter for PGA Tour, Amanda worked in this position for 5 years, hosting PGA TOUR Today and other shows. The sports television personality became a host and presenter for Callaway Golf in 2016, and in the following year, she became a member of the CBS Sports Golf Team. She has since then been the host of many other CBS sports shows and possibly more to come.
Married, Partner, Boyfriend
Being someone who has been regular on our television screens for a long time, covering one sporting tournament or the other, questions like whether or not Amanda Balionis is married or has a boyfriend are sure to come. We have equally got an answer to it and will serve it to you as raw as it is.
Amanda Balionis, for the much we have researched about her and closely observed her, to see if there is any inkling of a man in her life, has not conformed to popular assumption. The lady has no known man in her life. However, she has at various times hinted on her relationship status via her social media pages about "being taken" and having an affair in the past.
Pending when she makes a definitive revelation about who her significant other is, it will be a truism that Amanda Balionis is not married, has no known boyfriend or partner.
See Also: Doris Burke Bio, Husband, Daughter And Family Life Of The Sports Analyst
Body Measurements
Amanda Balionis is no doubt a beautiful woman, she can pass for a model any day and on any occasion because of how uniquely beautiful she is.
The sports reporter stands at a height of 5 feet 5 inches with a supporting body mass of 125 pounds or 57 kg. Her significant body measurements as a woman are given as; bust of 37 inches or 94cm, hips of 25 inches or 64cm and a waist of 36 inches or 91cm.
She has a pair of charming blue eyes which complement her black-brown hair colour.

Guy Martin relaxes at Ramsey during an enforced break in the racing. The Senior TT was red-flagged after an incident on Bray Hill shortly after the start.
By the time the red flags went out the leaders were already in Ramsey and as we can see Guy, Cameron Donald and others took the opportunity to catch up on a bit of rest after a hectic and demanding fortnight.
After a short delay the travelling marshals brought all the riders back from around the course and the race was restarted later in the day.
