As I've spoken around the country I've had so many people come up to me and say, "Nate: I was I could do the things that you do" or "I wish I could be good at the things that you're good at."
And I know truly how they feel, because so many years of my life I felt the same way about other people that I saw doing great things. And the thing that was holding me back from my destiny…in large part…was fear.
So many people are captivated by fear; they don't know how to take courage.
And maybe that's you. I'm going to tell you today how to be courageous!
Number one… You're going to have to be willing to see your greatness!
We live in times where we're almost teaching false humility. I witness a lot of people who seem guilty to announce that they feel like they're good at something.
It's ok for you to know that you're good at something! You can accept your greatness without pride…without an improper ego…and both see and know the thing that you're actually good at!
The second thing that you've gotta do is that at some point you've got to step up and you've got to take an absolutely definitive action!
And how do you become fearless?
You only become fearless one way: and that is by going to battle with fear itself.
Hey There! Did you enjoy that? If You are looking for Affordable Coaching in an Inspiring Environment to Help You Play at Your Highest Level Ever this Year, You may want to consider joining LIFE TRIBE! CLICK HERE for all the details.

The lovely Hannah, who blogs over at A Day in the Life of a Northern Girl, nominated me for another Versatile Blogger Award! I met Hannah at Laura's blogger meet up in London last month, and we got on like a house on fire, so I'm really pleased she likes my blog – you should definitely check hers out if you like great informative posts and pretty things!
This is an award given to bloggers who inspire you, and you're supposed to nominate 15 people, but I feel like I'd rather give it to a few who I love rather than searching out tons for the sake of it. Then you have to find 7 facts about you – I really think at some point I'm going to run out of facts!
- I am currently in my final year at Oxford, studying Classics (mostly Latin literature and Roman history in the first century AD).
- I am excessively flexible – not hyperflexible, but nearly. Despite this, I still can't do yoga.
- I'm a big fan of Shakespeare, and am trying to get to see all of his plays on stage before I'm 30. This weekend, it's Richard II with David Tennant!
- My favourite scents are rose, honey, violet and spiced apple, in that order.
- My favourite form of procrastination is showering/bathing – if I can't do my essay, at least I can be clean!
- I have four library cards for different areas, not even counting my Oxford student card which lets me into all the academic libraries…
- Ummm…. I love Lush? That's not exactly news… But these facts are so hard!
Now for the nominations:
- Always Unpresentable
- Through the Looking Glass and Down the Rabbit Hole
- Delovely
- Topknots and Polka Dots

So. I missed like the first ten minutes of this movie cause I was late to the theatre (parent problems) but I DIDN'T miss how FUCKING SICK IT IS. Oh my god. If you follow this blog with any kind of regularity (and if you don't, fuck you lol jk) you know that I REALLY am obsessed with Batman/The Dark Knight, etc. Well, Bane and Commissioner Gordon are in this movie and Tom Hardy is everything in this movie he wasn't in Batman. Like his character is SO AWESOME AND GREAT.
Okay lemme back up- basically it's set during prohibition in this tiny southern town, I think in North Carolina, but that might just be wishful thinking (Ugh it's Virginia). So there are these brothers- 'the Bondurant boys' as everyone calls them and there's this local legend that they're immortal, which if you look at Tom Hardy in all his muscled stature is completely believable. The other brothers are Howard who is I think older than Tom Hardy (film name: Forrest) who is an angry alcoholic type- but not in a destructive way, in an endearing way- (if someone can be an alcoholic in an endearing way) then the youngest is Jack Bondurant (Shia LeBouef). He starts out the movie with a lot to live up to and very much in the shadow of his brothers but with the success of their bootlegging operation that he's sort of responsible for, he grows into this wannabe gangster type, buying expensive suits and cars (singular, car) and courting a preacher's daughter who is ALICE! From the new Alice in Wonderland. (And the daughter in the Kids Are Alright- the lesbian mom movie.)
But his best friend is this kid Cricket who had rickets (not making this up) when he was a kid and now his legs are sort of crippled. Am I allowed to say cripple? Idk. But he is. But he's also this genius and he figures out many of the innovations they use in their distillery and how to soup up car engines to make their cars go faster (he actually reminded me a lot of the mechanic in the Fast and the Furious who was a genius but then didn't do well in school because he had ADD. Oh, 2001).
Okay, the main bad guy is this enforcer from Chicago (big city boy) who is trying to put the squeeze on a lot of small outfit bootlegging operations. At first it seemed like he wanted a cut (which did NOT fly with Forrest) but then it seemed like he just wanted to shut them down. The dude who played him was Guy Pearce (Memento hello) and he was INCREDIBLE. Like, there's this one scene right after we first meet him and he's eating a biscuit (english biscuit not southern biscuit) with the sheriff and he has this laugh and all of a sudden you're like, OH you're evil. He was excellent. Excellent.
This whole movie was the perfect balance of momentum and drama fused with a careful stillness and attention to detail and this deliberate consideration. You have scenes where you're literally watching someone breathe and it's handled perfectly (Jessica Chastain, perfection) and then these bloodbath action scenes and there's this balance and it works.
There's also this wonderful handiling of the 'legend' I sort of missed that, I'm sure it was explained in the beginning, but there wasn't this cheap element of supernatural or special effects that seemed rushed/forced as is so often used in movies now (Wolverine origins I'm looking RIGHT at you) it was something people believed and talked about, but you never really knew if you believed it or not.
The 1920's shit hits the fan when Jack takes Mia Wasikowska, Bertha, his love, to a romantic jaunt to the still. The still or distillery (1920's slang! Their 'bae' if you will) was moved to the woods so the evil middle part that was Guy Pearce couldn't find it. Which is exactly why he followed Jack and Bertha (THAT'S HER NAME) into the woods. They apprehend them, but Howard was nearby, (thank god for his desire to drink alone in the woods in the middle of the day!) and he comes to help out. Everyone escapes/is let go except Cricket, who Evil Charlie pushes into this clearing of underbrush and MURDERS. He starts to suffocate him and you think he's just gonna rough him up but then he BREAKS HIS NECK WITH HIS HANDS AND HIS LIMP BODY FALLS TO THE FLOOR. It was a lot.
This is the straw that broke the camel's back for lil Shia, he gets guns and gets riled up and after a one day resting period, drives to go kill Charlie Rakes. They have a bloody standoff in which most everyone is shot, most notably Forrest, like seven times. Jack follows Charlie into a covered bridge and shoots him, then Howard knifes him in the back for good measure. I'm a big fan of the belief evil people should die in painful ways.
Before Howard and Forrest run out the house to follow Jack to this gun stand off that will inevitably occur, there is a wonderful scene with Maggie (Jessica Chastain) and Forrest where we find out that she drove him to the hospital the night his throat got slit (oh right, that happened) and he didn't walk the 20 miles himself like everyone thought. Even he is surprised, "I thought I walked." But then this sets off a chain of thought spark-plugs in his mind and begins a line of questioning to Maggie about that night: "You came back that night? Did they see you? What happened?" Which of course we know she got raped but she starts crying and then looks him in the eye and says, "Not a goddamned thing." Which the first time I watched this movie (because I am an idiot) I was like, "maybe nothing happened!" but this go-around it's clearer to me that this is her way of not letting it control/get to her.
Also, if you couldn't decipher, I wrote the first half(ish) of this review 2 years ago when this movie came out and I saw it in theaters, then the second half last night after I watched the DVD of it I got from the library. So not only differences in viewer perspective but subtle documentation of my growth as a writer and person!
The last scene of this movie is a picturesque "Where Are They Now" cap on everything- they are all having dinner together in a log cabin, and everyone got married. Not going to spoil the ending but it addresses the legend in a whimsical way. Overall I love this movie. It's great. Also I want to have sex with Tom Hardy.

As mass timber increases in popularity, a plethora of new products are emerging. Mass timber products are wood based products that can withstand and hold large loads for long durations of time. These products have allowed for larger buildings, made mainly of wood, to be erected with multiple stories, due to their enhanced mechanical properties. One such new product is Mass Plywood Panels (MPP). MPP is a veneer-based engineered wood product, which is a massive, large scale, structural composite lumber based panel designed to be used in building applications as both vertical and horizontal element. MPP is an alternative to Cross Laminated Timber (CLT). This product is produced by using different veneer layups assorted into the most efficient orientations. Since it is a veneer based product, its properties can be optimized for intended end use. For any new product to be used in the industry with confidence a thorough investigation of its physical and mechanical properties are needed. MPP has undergone qualification according ANSI/APA PRG 320. This research looked at the potential use of different fasteners on MPP by going from small scale testing of single fasteners to a full scale testing of a wall to floor system.

Honeycomb wall panels Human inventions are inspired by nature and adapted to the requirements of nature. Aluminum honeycomb panels have been widely used in building exterior wall decoration because of their advantages of light weight, high strength and high rigidity.
The distribution of the core layer of the honeycomb wall is fixed in the whole plate surface, which is not easy to produce shear, which makes the plate more stable, more resistant to bending and compression, and its wind pressure greatly exceeds the aluminum-plastic plate and the aluminum veneer, and is not easily deformed.

With a revamped venue, a new food menu, and refreshing cocktails, Iris Yas Island has become a prime party spot for many who flock to Yas Marina for a chilled-out evening with friends. FACT went to check out this trendy restaurant/lounge to see if Iris lives up to its cool-crowd status…
When it comes to keeping it cool, Iris does swanky down to a tee. Located in the heart of Yas Island, this upscale lounge and restaurant, has become a favourite with the city's socialites, business people, party-goers and those who want an alternative destination to the centre of Abu Dhabi, and somewhere that serves good food and drinks with a great atmosphere. The venue has a real urban-city feel, with stylish interiors like custom-made, black-steel light fittings and varied seating including barstyle high chairs and tables, comfy, cushioned sofas, and a garden area with terrace-inspired furniture. Iris also has the advantage of being in an amazing location, overlooking Yas Marina and providing breathtaking views (we can only imagine the lively buzz and crowd this place gets during events like the F1!).
The venue's uber-trendy character is all down to Lebanese designer Suzy Nasr, who is the visionary behind all of Iris' interiors. As the creator of the original concept, located in Downtown Beirut, Lebanon, Suzy's idea behind the initial Iris concept was to create a tropical yet modern getaway, with an environment that exudes a sense of harmony and balance, simultaneously being trendy yet cosy with an edge. We arrived at Iris on a Friday evening when it was half-filled. There were large groups of friends enjoying drinks and a catch up, as well as smaller more intimate gatherings too. It's no secret that you'll instantly feel like you have to be part of a cool crowd to be here. We opted to sit inside, and though service was a little slow, we finally managed to place an order for drinks and some sharing plates off the food menu.
Out came the Australian wagyu mini burgers, rock shrimp tempura, seared sea scallops, oven-baked Mediterranean sea bass, lobster risotto, and char-grilled Australian tenderloin. Everything was presented nicely and made in perfect portions for sharing. Our standouts here were the wagyu mini burgers (the special chef's sauce was yummy), the sea bass drizzled in a beautiful lemon sauce, and the tenderloin, cooked to medium perfection. For dessert, we'd recommend the lush chocolate fondant – a classic choice that wins every time.
We loved the airy space of the lounge and the combination of vibrant hues, tranquil earthy tones and the occasional burst of unexpected colour that gave the place an uplifted feel. The use of special materials like thermo wood in the bar area is clever and impressive and the furniture has a great combination of wood and fabric. It is the inviting and relaxed mood at Iris that keeps loyal punters coming back. The food is simple but with a plentiful choice, and the dishes are satisfyingly tasty. We were left a tad disappointed by the inattentive service, especially as the place wasn't packed. That said, we'll definitely return to see if Iris Yas Island can tick all the boxes of a perfect dinner and drinks venue second-time around.
GO: Iris Yas Island is open Monday to Saturdays from 6pm to 3am. Visit www.irisabudhabi.com or call (0)5 5160 5636 for reservations and more information.

This book was recommended on a summer reading list that I had stumbled upon a month or so ago and I immediately put in a request at my local library. I don't normally read fiction but figured because I hadn't been reading much lately I might as well give it a try; glad I did.
Here's the book description from Amazon:
This months-long New York Times bestseller is "irresistible…seductive…with a high concept plot that keeps you riveted from the first page," (O, The Oprah Magazine).
After four harrowing years on the Western Front, Tom Sherbourne returns to Australia and takes a job as the lighthouse keeper on Janus Rock, nearly half a day's journey from the coast. To this isolated island, where the supply boat comes once a season, Tom brings a young, bold, and loving wife, Isabel. Years later, after two miscarriages and one stillbirth, the grieving Isabel hears a baby's cries on the wind. A boat has washed up onshore carrying a dead man and a living baby.
Tom, who keeps meticulous records and whose moral principles have withstood a horrific war, wants to report the man and infant immediately. But Isabel insists the baby is a "gift from God," and against Tom's judgment, they claim her as their own and name her Lucy. When she is two, Tom and Isabel return to the mainland and are reminded that there are other people in the world. Their choice has devastated one of them.
After reading this I was a little hesitant because not only am I not big on fiction, I'm not big on war and/or history. I know, I know, both of those things aren't fiction but they are also not my favorite. I still dove into the pages with great expectations, and I loved it. It took me about a month to read- not because of the content but because of my busy schedule. The book however, got so good with about 150 pages left, that I wrapped it up in two days. I just had to know how it would end.
M.L. Stedman's writing was wonderful and despite the sad story line, it was beautifully done. Reading the reviews after putting it down, many people seem to be disappointed with the ending but really, there was no other option; although you didn't want to think about it happening, you could predict it for chapters. Not going to lie, I was snuffly during the final chapter; I personally think it ended as best as it could have. I highly recommend this book to all my readers, especially if you are hitting the beach for holiday.

Co-Founders of Prison Professors
Shon Hopwood, Justin Paperny and Michael Santos are co-founders of Prison Professors. Our team helps people prepare for best outcomes after they've been charged with a crime.
Shon Hopwood
Shon Hopwood's unusual legal journey began not at law school, but federal prison, where he learned to write briefs for other prisoners while serving a 12-year sentence for bank robberies. Two petitions for certiorari he prepared were later granted review by the United States Supreme Court, and he won cases for other prisoners in federal courts across the country. Since he became a licensed attorney, Shon's record of success has continued. In 2016 alone, he won three federal habeas appeals before the Fourth and Eighth Circuit Courts of Appeals.
Justin Paperny
Justin Paperny graduated from the University of Southern California in 1997. Then he built his career as a successful stockbroker. His practice at notable firms—that included Merrill Lynch, Bear Stearns, and UBS—specialized in representing professional athletes and hedge funds. Some bad decisions led Justin into problems with the criminal justice system, including a felony conviction for violating securities laws. A federal judge sentenced Justin to serve an 18-month prison term. In prison he grew determined to make amends, not through talk, but through daily, incremental action. Believing others could benefit from his experience, he began documenting his journey through a daily blog and through his book, Lessons From Prison.
Michael Santos
Michael Santos served 26 years in federal prisons of every security level. While incarcerated he earned a bachelor's degree from Mercer University and a master's degree from Hofstra University. Michael's commitment to success during his first decade prepared him to write several books (including Earning Freedom and Inside: Life Behind Bars in America) that university professors use to educate students about the prison system.
Prison Professors teaches lessons that empower people to live a life of relevance before, during, and after confinement.
Seth Ferranti
Seth Ferranti was 22 years old when he was convicted of participating in a first-time, nonviolent drug conspiracy. His judge sentenced him to serve a 25-year sentence in federal prison back in 1993. Seth's story provides us with a remarkable journey of success through prison. Seth's personal history reveals him as a true prison professor.
While facing a quarter century in prison, Seth began to prepare for success. He studied through college courses while at the Federal Correctional Institution, in Manchester, Kentucky. The prison was rated as a medium-security FCI. It also held high-security prisoners.
Ingrid Okun
Ingrid Lederhaas-Okun received her undergraduate degree from Georgetown University followed by graduate studies at Christie's Education in London and the Gemological Institute of America which led to a successful career in jewelry at a luxury goods firm in New York City. In 2013, upon being made redundant at her firm, Ingrid made a life altering mistake which led to a felony conviction and a prison sentence.
Gerard W. Bryant, Ph.D.
Dr. Bryant has worked as a psychologist for over 37 years in a wide variety of clinical settings, to include non-profit, government, higher education and private sectors. In these settings he has provided individual and group therapy, crisis intervention and psychological assessment services. He has an extensive background in forensic psychology and the supervision of psychological professionals working in forensic settings.
Jennifer Myers
Jennifer is an author, speaker, and an associate Prison Professor. She works with our team as a coach, and she works to end our country's problem with mass incarceration. Jennifer helps clients who want to qualify for alternatives to incarceration and the best possible experience in prison.
Jennifer grew up among the cornfields as a Midwestern farm girl. After graduating with a B.F.A in Dance and Choreography, she moved to Chicago where she toured as a performer and as a choreographer. Eventually, Jennifer became the artistic director of her own dance company.
Matthew Hagy
Matthew graduated from The College of New Jersey with a BA in Health and Physical Education, and a Master's in Educational Leadership. He also had 4 highly successful years of college football while at TCNJ. Matthew has been a high school Health and PE teacher for over 20 years. Matthew is a Certified Health Coach and successful business leader of his company Shaping Lives, LLC. He and his team have helped over 1,400 people lose thousands of pounds while providing them with the proper coaching, tools and knowledge to maintain a healthy body weight.
Joshua Boyer
My name is Joshua Boyer. On February 8, 2001, I was arrested by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) after becoming involved in a sting operation in Tampa, Florida. In July, I proceeded to a jury trial and was convicted of numerous drug and firearm violations. While my criminal history was limited, conviction on these counts exposed me to a significant sentence. Due to mandatory minimum penalties associated with federal conspiracy offenses and possessing a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime, I faced a minimum sentence of 20 years. Several months after the guilty verdict, the United States District Court imposed a 24-year term.
Lance Charen
Lance Charen served 10 months at the Federal Prison Camp in Cumberland, Maryland. He entered prison intent on making the most of the time ahead of him. He lost more than 100 lbs, and read more than 100 books while also developing multiple business plans and re-evaluating past choices, relationships with friends and family and identifying what was really important to him and his future.
Prior to his sentence he had built and run several successful businesses in the solid waste, recycling and manufacturing spaces. Along the way he was named "Entrepreneur of the Year" by the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce, served as President of a global trade association and was profiled in the Wall Street Journal, Philadelphia Inquirer and other media outlets. He attended Syracuse University where he received his BS in Economics.
Beth Neugass
Beth Neugass has been working in the field of criminal justice for over 30 years. From 1985 to 1991, Beth was a New Jersey state Probation Officer who conducted presentence investigations and wrote presentence reports on defendants awaiting sentencing. In 1991, Beth became a Federal Probation Officer with the United States Probation Office for the District of New Jersey, retiring as Senior Deputy Chief in October 2018, after over 27 years of service. In that capacity, Beth assisted the Chief in all personnel matters and in making operational and administrative decisions.
David M. Rosenfield
David M. Rosenfield, a member of Herrick's Litigation Department, concentrates his practice in white-collar criminal defense, corporate internal investigations, securities regulation and litigation, bank regulation, and food and drug industry investigations. David represents and defends individuals and corporations before federal agencies such as the U.S. Attorneys' Offices, the SEC, the FDIC, Department of Justice and the Department of Health and Human Services, including the FDA; state agencies such as the New York State Attorney General's Office and the New Jersey Division of Criminal Justice; and self-regulatory agencies, such as the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.

Many years I don't get the opportunity to travel through the unique and colorful world of our state during the month of October. This month I've done it twice in the last week and will a third time this weekend.
This time I'm near Pittsburgh at a regional meeting where our immediate past prioress, Sr. Christine, delivered fine presentations on religious life and the prophetic challenges therein---especially for our time and our culture. Here are two thought-provoking ideas: "Who we are and how we live this life is our witness." And, from Sandra Schneiders, IHM, "Religious profession is a promise to live by the coordinates of God's reign not the world's."
On an Erie note, two events are on our website this week: the new residence of our sisters at Sophia House and the annual dinner with our neighbors at Benetwood Apartments. Nice photos of the large groups who attended each.

Managing Map and Dataset Privacy
Map privacy settings enable you to control how viewers access your map. Dataset privacy settings allow you to protect each layer of data within a map. This is important if you are providing a link to share your map, or if you are embedding your map into a website or blog.
As described in the Downloading and Importing CARTO Maps Guide, map privacy settings from a hosted CARTO map no longer apply after downloading, and anyone with access to that .carto file will be able to see the shared data from the map. Be mindful about dataset privacy and map privacy when sharing .carto files.
Depending on your account plan, different privacy settings are available. By default, the following behavior is applied:
- For Free accounts, all maps and datasets are PUBLIC and cannot be changed.
- For Personal accounts, all maps are PUBLIC and cannot be changed. Datasets are PRIVATE by default, and dataset privacy settings can be changed at any time. If you want to want your map to remain private, do not publish it.
- For access to the most secure privacy options, Enterprise accounts allow your organization administrator to control the default privacy settings that are enabled.
Dataset Privacy
Dataset privacy is stored separately from map privacy. This enables you to protect each layer of data within a map. Ensure that your dataset reflects the privacy setting that you intend for your target audience, so that it is visible and accessible when you share your map.
For Personal and Enterprise accounts, you can protect your dataset and identify the privacy setting as Public, Only accessible with link, or Private.
The following dataset privacy options are available.
|Dataset Privacy Option
|Account Plan
|Available to anyone on the internet and viewable from your public profile page on CARTO.
|Free, Personal, Enterprise
|Only accessible with link
|Only people who have a URL to the map are able to view the data.
|Personal, Enterprise
|A private dataset that is only visible to you.
|Personal, Enterprise
Map Privacy (Enterprise Accounts Only)
If you have an Enterprise account, you can protect your map and identify the privacy settings as Public, Only accessible with link, Password protected, or Private. This enables organizations to determine how shared maps are accessed.
The following map privacy options are available.
|Map Privacy Option
|Account Plan
|Available to anyone on the internet and viewable from your public profile page on CARTO.
|Free, Personal, Enterprise
|Only accessible with link
|Only people who have a URL to the map are able to access it. This type of map is not viewable from your public profile.
|Indicates that map is password protected. When selecting this option, type a password and press Enter on your keyboard. This type of map is not viewable without the password and does not appear from your public profile.
|A private map that is only visible to you.
Your organization administrator controls which privacy settings are available for both datasets and maps. Enterprise accounts include additional privacy settings to share maps and data between colleagues in your organization.
Public Profile Page
Each CARTO account automatically includes a public profile page, which displays your username and lists your public maps and datasets. When you are logged into CARTO, the avatar menu enables you to access Your public profile.
Alternatively, replace your username in the following website address to access your public profile page at CARTO:
If you are using a private dataset for a public map, the dataset details are hidden from your public profile page. Viewers can only see that you are using a private dataset for the selected map. Be mindful of your map privacy and dataset privacy options when creating maps and datasets in CARTO, as all public maps and datasets appear on your public profile page.

Today we get to share not one but two gorgeous bundles with you! The Making Christmas Bright and Merry Christmas to All stamp sets and their coordinating punch and framelits.
We also had all the lovely accessories and papers to showcase and I was so glad we did! The All is Bright DSP is a mixture of traditional and neutral colours and the photographic papers are just amazing. I chose a shiny bauble page for the background of my first card and the bokeh effect papers for the background of the second.
Merry Christmas Card
The Merry Christmas Thinlits dies are nice and big, perfect for that standout greeting. As the greeting is big I like to let it sit front and centre and be the star. I paired it up with the matching stamped greeting from the Merry Christmas to All set and used the framelit to cut it out. I mimicked the bauble shape with my circle background and used the matching papers as a base so that the colour coordinated and wasn't too solid. The foil is the Champagne colour and looks so much more beautiful in real life.
Friends Card
The greeting on the second card is from the Making Christmas Bright set. I used Tranquil Tide alongside the beautiful golds and metallics on the DSP and then punched out Champagne Foil and Tranquil Tide Glimmer lightbulbs with the Christmas Bulb Builder Punch. I stamped the curly bulb background in Crumb Cake on Crumb Cake card stock and then mimicked it with some bakers twine and the punched shapes.
The paper beautifully adds a little bit of depth and the soft bokeh light makes it a grown up and neutral card to send at Christmas.
I always do a monthly prize draw for everyone who comments on my blog and follows me on social media during the previous month and another for one of my customers from the previous month.
The winner of the Swirls and Curls Textured Embossing Folder is Sara Nell Langland. Please contact me with your shipping address.

Oh, summer. Today is officially the first day of summer, although it feels like summer has been here for a while already. It has been really hot and humid in Houston over the past couple of weeks. I'm not a fan of this weather, but there are certainly a lot of things that I love about summer anyway. I love having longer days, spending time at our pool, going to the beach and going on vacations with our kiddo. We'll be heading to upstate New York next month and I am hoping it will be cooler there than it is here! This summer I am on the hunt to add some new items to my wardrobe – I desperately need some new shorts and I just picked up two new swimsuits as seen in my Instagram post here. To help myself (and you!) get inspired for the new season, I've pulled together some summer outfit inspiration using some of my favorite looks from my blog archives. Just click on each of the pictures if you want to read the original post. Enjoy!
This summer, why not try…
a breezy maxi dress with a topknot
mixing patterns for a fun look
a loose, drapey off the shoulder style
a bold summery dress (even better with a bold lip!)
lightweight fabrics in fun patterns
sleeveless layers to add interest without the warmth
a cute straw hat to help protect yourself from the sun

North Korea Warns Against U.N. Action
Associated Press Writer
North Korea warned Tuesday that any actions taken against it when the U.N. Security Council meets to discuss the communist regime's nuclear ambitions would undermine attempts to resolve the crisis peacefully.
Meanwhile, the North's main ally, China, said the world body, which meets Wednesday, has no business discussing Pyongyang's suspected nuclear weapons program. On Monday, Chinese diplomats blocked efforts by some council members to draft a statement condemning North Korea.
"It is not appropriate for the United Nations Security Council to get involved in these issues," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao said. "No related parties should take actions that would further complicate this matter."
The council eventually could discuss imposing sanctions against North Korea if a political solution is not found. China and Russia have said they oppose sanctions.
North Korea has warned that it would regard international sanctions as a declaration of war.
South Korea's Foreign Minister Yoon Young-kwan urged North Korea on Tuesday to agree to multilateral talks to resolve the crisis.
"If North Korea joins the multilateral talks, it will be able to seek talks with the United States for a security guarantee and have opportunities to discuss economic aid," he told parliament.
South Korea distributed a confidential briefing paper on the nuclear standoff during Tuesday's meeting of the 10-nation Association of Southeast Asian Nations in Manila, Philippines. The paper, a copy of which was made available to The Associated Press, said the world must prepare for North Korea to try to escalate tensions.
North Korea's possession of nuclear weapons "will not be tolerated, but our government firmly believes that the nuclear issue must be resolved peacefully through dialogue," the paper said.
South Korea said it would pursue economic projects with the North to help ease tensions and the humanitarian suffering there.
Pyongyang insists on direct dialogue with the United States to negotiate a nonaggression treaty.
But Washington wants to settle the crisis through multilateral channels, saying North Korea's ambitions threaten not just American interests but also those of Russia, China, Japan and South Korea.
Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Losyukov told the ITAR-Tass news agency that the situation on the Korean peninsula was "extremely dangerous," and said he supports the U.S. call for multilateral talks to end the crisis.
North Korea's army Chief of the General Staff Kim Yong Chun said that if the Security Council tries to "stifle the DPRK, the U.S. will be held wholly responsible for the failure of all the efforts for dialogue and the extremely tense situation," the North's KCNA news agency reported. DPRK stands for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, North Korea's official name.
Also Tuesday, U.S. and South Korean officials began discussing plans for their military alliance that could include the redeployment of 37,000 American troops stationed in the South.
Last month, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said troops near the inter-Korean border could be shifted south, moved to other countries in the region, or brought home.

Good Meals to Eat Before a Swim Meet
Eating before a big meet is almost as important as the training plan: Swimmers need fuel to help their muscles work hard, but a too-hearty meal will weigh anyone down in the pool. The key is eating the right combination of carbohydrates and protein—and fueling up at the right time.
Nutrient Considerations
Although the old maxim that you should wait an hour post-meal before swimming isn't always accurate, it is important to eat according to the time of your race. Afternoon swim meets demand a heartier and protein-heavy breakfast, to keep you fueled for the meet, while early-morning competitions should be lighter and carb-centric, to provide that essential energy boost in the pool. In general, stick to a combination of carbohydrates and protein for reliable energy.
Oatmeal with Milk
Oatmeal — go instant if it's easier — made with low-fat milk provides the right mix of carbohydrates, protein and fat that will fuel your body at race time, especially for swimmers with an early-morning meet. That's because carbohydrates supply the glucose that muscles transform into energy. Keep in mind that complex carbohydrates, such as the whole grains in oatmeal, break down slowly throughout the day for a more constant source of energy. Simple carbs, such as honey and white sugar, burn away quickly.
Cheese, Nuts and Cold Cuts
Although protein is not quite as important as carbohydrates in terms of energy, it plays an important role pre-race. It keeps your blood sugar level, which helps maintain energy; staves off hunger; and keeps your mood even, which is important for dealing with pre-race jitters. A selection of cheeses, such as string cheese; cold cuts, such as turkey; and nuts, such as almonds, supply that protein without including too much fat.
Hummus and Pita
Eating a large meal right before you hit the starting block would not be good for the team. Instead, reach for a light but balanced snack, such as hummus and pita. Both chickpeas and whole grain pita bread supply a combination of complex carbohydrates and protein that give your body a steady energy boost — from the complex carbs — and long-lasting fuel from the protein.

Many of us know strength training is important, but for several, especially newbies, beginning a lifting program at a gym can be a scary feat. Even I have been intimated by weight rooms at times. But not to fret, I'm here to explain some of the top reasons why people avoid the weight room and how to look like a pro and more importantly, overcome your fears of the weights.
We set New Year's resolutions to get healthier, for those of you still holding strong to your fitness goals you have found a gym and gotten your bearings. Now it is time to take the next step and approach your workout like a pro and start getting the results you're looking for. Over the next week, you can look for one tip a day to help you get over gym-timidation.
Tip#6: Get yourself acquainted with gym-etiquette
People don't always have the best manners at the gym. For gym newbies, it might seem like there's some secret code of conduct when you first step foot in a gym, but gym etiquette rules are really just common sense. One of the easiest ways to feel more comfortable in the weight room is to brush up on your gym etiquette. The internet has so much information regarding this but below are a few of the basics:
- Re-rack your weights
- Wipe down the equipment after you are don't using it (most gyms will have sanitary wipes or paper sheets with sanitizer spray)
- Be mindful. Don't hog the equipment especially if someone is waiting to use it. Be sure to not take long "rest" breaks just sitting on your phone.
- Don't bug people or ask for help in the middle of their set
- Don't occupy a bench if you are not using it for your exercise
- If the gym is busy, don't use machines for something other than their purpose. For example, don't take a squat rack to do barbell bicep curls. Most gyms have a limited number of squat racks, and bicep curls can be performed with smaller barbells, dumbbells, or other machines.
If you have been going to a gym for a long time and find that you've done many of these things in the past, or if you're still doing them that's okay! We all learn, and we get better.
Try to make the gym a habit. If you regularly strength train, your workout will become a routine and you'll become more comfortable with the equipment and lifting in the gym. Who knows, if you work out consistently at the same time and days, you make even make a few new friends.

The Duke's Christmas Promise by Sandra Masters
Malice, regret or anger, but always love wound its way to his hungry heart.
The Duke of Abington, a hero of foreign wars, returns to England after an absence of twenty years. He finds the woman he once loved and lost has been hired by his nephew and heir to host a Christmas ball and ten-day estate visit in his honor. Not only did she break their engagement, but she also shattered his heart. Noelle Girard-Fenwick, in a family way, out of desperation and with no other choice, marries a childhood sweetheart to legitimize her baby. She harbors malice against the father of her child for abandoning her in a time of great need. When she and Abington meet many years later, Noelle shields her emotion from the attraction that ignites. A widow with a family, her primary goal is to move with her daughters to the Americas and reunite with her successful horse breeder son. A decades-old secret is divulged and explains the deception against the young Abington and Noelle. Can Noelle forgive the past and rekindle the flame and passion she once had for Abington? Can Abington find love again amidst the ashes of betrayal by those he trusted?
She had become an obsession–an itch that demanded to be scratched. Much as he tried not to think of her unless she was truly in his arms, for a moment his damn imagination roamed once again.
A kiss here.
A kiss there.
A gentle touch of the back of his knuckle down a high cheekbone.
A roving hand is caressing the cleft of her throat in tingling circles.
A pause as the fingers meandered to full breasts.
A tongue gliding over those same luscious mounds.
"Your Grace, I do believe your disguise is complete now. Do you require anything else of me?" his valet brushed lint that dared to adhere itself to his jacket.
Abington jerked alert. "No. I'll go down the back staircase and enter the ballroom from the veranda so no one will see me. I will reconnoiter and find my unwary lover. I'm in the mood for mischief. Wish me success, my man."
"I do. Do you care to wear a rose in your lapel should you desire to bestow it to the lady in question at some convenient time? You could lay it on her naked stomach, oui?"
Prince of Frost by Angelique Armae
When a bearish prince stirs from hibernation…He sets his eyes on a very beguiling prey….Only to realize true love never comes without a cost….
1807, Frost Lake Hall, Kingdom of Countavia
Based on the satirical clip in this morning's paper, Parliament was at it again with their rumors about Leopold, spreading lies in yet another ill-fated attempt to provoke the so-called Hibernating Bear Prince into making a public appearance so all the kingdom could gawk at him as if he were a carnival freak.
He wondered which MPs had the greatest connections with the gossip editors. Several peers came to mind, and he'd love to give each a dose of their own cruelty, though stooping to their level would only confirm their beastly allegations and he was no animal despite their beliefs.
Leopold narrowed his eyes and focused on the caricature depicting him. Today the beast was in full-color, a change up from the usual black and white news sheet design.
He brought the paper in closer for better inspection.
Was that drool dripping from the bear's mouth?
Good, God, but the artist really had gone too far this time. The animal version of himself was truly abominable today with its claws out, stomach extended, mouth gaping and hind paws stepping on shards of a broken honey pot.
What man walks barefoot on jagged pottery?
He may have issues with nervousness that in turn hampered his speech, but he was no fool. At least, not in the way the papers portrayed him.
He scrunched the clean handkerchief balled in his palm.
Seventeen years and not one MP had the courtesy to pay him a private visit and learn the truth.
Of course his father, the absolute monarch who retained the right to dissolve Countavia's Parliament and its Constitution, could have put an end to his son's private hell.
He hadn't.
A Merry Wicked Christmas by Gina Danna
Lady Marina Lockhart's dreams of her upcoming Season debut are squashed by her father's news of an arranged marriage. An unexpected invitation to attend a country Christmas house party with her cousin carries the improbable hope of meeting a gentleman who will save her. After a disastrous engagement, Phineas Carrollton, the Marquis of Huntington, buries himself in his country estate but begrudgingly agrees to host a Christmas festivity. A sudden snowstorm strands Phineas and Marina at a hidden cottage but her hopes of marriage vanish when he conceals their time together, shattering her heart, for she has fallen for the dashing Marquis. She returns to London for the wedding. Unable to deny that Marina has ignited his heart, Phineas rushes to London to stop the wedding will be only the beginning of his challenge.
When a bearish prince stirs from hibernation…He sets his eyes on a very beguiling prey….Only to realize true love never comes without a cost….
"Perhaps I'm Walter Smith," he said, his voice low, almost a whisper laced with a thread that seeped down her spine and lit little hellfires along the way.
"I don't believe you," she forced out.
He leaned back with a casual grace, like a feline all proud and assured. "I see. You are correct. I'm not Walter Smith, and yet, I am."
His masculine voice, deep and alluring, coiled down her spine. At the moment, the only thing she wanted him to do was kiss her, which was entirely outlandish, but the hunger was there. Well, at least on her part…
"I don't understand," she sputtered, trying desperately to get hold of herself.
He gave her a deeply resonate chuckle. "I write as a Walter Smith of sorts. No one would pick up a marquis's book, unless it held the meanings of life, how to cure the plague, or contained material too intimate for young eyes like yours." He smiled.
Somehow, she managed to swallow. "I see." She sounded like an idiot. "Well, let me note I found it…"
He plucked the list from the floor and tilted it in the firelight. "Ah, by no means will that do." He pulled a pen off the desk and scribbled on the page. "There, that should answer it."
She glanced at the list. His signature was bold and frank across it. Phineas Huntington, Marquis of Rockford. It wasn't right or proper but scrawled like a lover signing a document to be presented in court or such. It wasn't helping her gain control of her senses one bit.
"I need to go," she whispered, though her feet felt weighted to the floor.
"Yes, you do."
The words were soft, subtle and alluring. Her blood was on fire and she had no way to understand what was happening but the marquis, standing but a hairs-width away from her, leaned over and kissed her.

Sources say that the makers of Baahubali 2 will lodge a complaint with cyber crime officials to find out the source behind the leakage. Those who have seen the leaked version are in awe of the production design and raved about it on Twitter.
Directed by SS Rajamouli, Baahubali 2 has Prabhas, Rana Dagubatti, Anushka Shetty and Tamannaah in key characters.

That's because hidden walls and ceilings can conceal water damage, including peeling or discolored paint, rotting wooden accents, or a white, chalky substance on the wall, which indicates water intrusion. Another common use is a shared driveway, such as when one homeowner has to pass through another homeowner's property to reach their home.

When you miss someone's birthday, it's inevitable that their feelings will be somewhat hurt. However, if you handle this situation carefully, you should be able to smooth it over. Begin by apologizing sincerely, without trying to excuse your behavior. If the birthday boy or girl is angry, accept this reaction without becoming defensive. A great gift may also go a long way toward reassuring the birthday boy or girl that you truly care.
The first step toward amending your birthday mistake is to wish your friend or relative happy birthday as soon as possible. If your friend or relative lives nearby, drop by his home with a birthday card and a small token, such as a bottle of wine or potted plant. In the card, express your regret at missing his birthday, and ask whether he would be willing to get together with you soon for a belated celebration. If he is at home, you can make a date in person; if he is out, leave your card and gift for him to discover later. If your friend or relative doesn't live close by, call as soon as possible to apologize, and send him a card by Express Mail.
Thanks to modern courier services, you can send flowers to virtually any location in the country, no matter how far away it is from yours. Why not use one of these services to send a beautiful bouquet of apology to your friend or relative? You can even use the language of flowers to further convey your regret. Both tulips and hyacinths signify a plea for forgiveness, while bluebells symbolize humility and hydrangeas represent thankfulness for your friend's understanding nature.
Since you probably missed your friend or relative's birthday celebration, why not take her out to celebrate again? Ask your friend or relative whether she would allow you to treat her to lunch, or if the two of you could get together for drinks or dinner. Depending upon her preferences, you could also treat her to a day at the spa or take in a movie together. Such an occasion also provides an opportunity to present her with a gift. By making the time to celebrate her birthday, you can show your friend or relative that she is important to you.
Personalized Gifts
A personalized gift demonstrates thoughtfulness, which will illustrate to your friend or relative that hisneeds and desires matter to you. Is there a special item that you know he would love? Consider purchasing it for him, even if it costs more than you would normally spend. You could also try giving him an item monogrammed with his initials, such as a tie, a set of handkerchiefs, a sheet set, a towel set, a pair of slippers or a set of cufflinks.
Gift Baskets
When all else fails, try sending your friend a lavish gift basket. You can purchase a ready-made gift basket or assemble one on your own. Try filling your gift basket with delicious wines and cordials, artisan cheeses, fine chocolates, elaborate candles, luxurious bath and body products, delectable candies and other treats. Your friend or relative will find it difficult to stay mad at you after you have bestowed such sumptuous delights upon her.

Brigitte Bardot is threatening to sue the French government unless it cracks down on illegal hunting, the actress' animal rights foundation said today.
"If there is no government reaction within the month, we will try to take France to the European court for noncompliance of European hunting laws," said Christophe Marie of the Brigitte Bardot Foundation.
In a fiery open letter, the former sex symbol denounced French Interior Minister Daniel Vaillant as "spineless" for turning a blind eye to hunters killing protected species during the off-season.
"How can you tolerate such a mess ... illegal and ignoble massacres carried out right under your nose," Bardot wrote. She criticised Vaillant for letting hunters rise "above the law."
Bardot wrote the letter after the discovery of a hundred dead egrets, ibises and crested herons in the Loire-Atlantique region of western France. The birds - all members of protected species - had been shot.
The Interior Ministry confirmed that Vaillant had received Bardot's letter, but had no comment.
