Doing Uniforms The Right Way
What to Look for When Buying a Chef Apparel Chefs have a special kind of uniform that gives a feeling of contentment every time wearing it. You will be recognized apart from the other kitchen staffs. Some workplaces provide their own uniform while others do not. If you are buying a chef apparel, it is very important to make sure that it provides the professional appearance and comfort you want. Whatever your workplace is, your uniform should be in appropriate style. Before you rush in the market to buy your own chef apparel, below are the things you need to know. Learning about them allows you to pick the right chef uniform. 1. Begin with getting your own double-breasted chef coat. Chefs are often known because of the kind of coat they are wearing. You can opt for a gray, black or white, depending on your personal preference. Nowadays, tailored coat designs are very popular for both men and women chefs. You can choose a shorter or longer coat, as long as you feel comfortable with it.
The Beginner's Guide to Apparel
Since there are different coats available, you have to know the essential features you should be looking at. First, the material should be a breathable cotton for utmost comfort. When it comes to the buttons, it should be secure and stylish. Accessory loops and pockets should be placed in the most convenient location. To keep your arms and hands free, the coat should include fold back cuffs. The coat should also include mesh back panel, shoulder vents and fitted design making you feel comfortable.

2. Next, you should look for comfortable chef pants. Houndstooth is a very common pattern. Other popular options are onyx, gray and striped chef pants. The color of the pants should be darker hiding stains and other dirt. The fabric should be resistant to stain and breathable. It should also comes with pockets at the front and back area so you can store anything. 3. Chef aprons are used for protecting the chef coats. Choosing one with bigger coverage is ideal. Vinyl aprons are ideal to wear in a heavy duty and messy kitchen environment. You can also have a nylon apron over vinyl ones since it is perfect for everyday kitchen situations. It should have neck and back straps which are adjustable. 4. Chef hats will make a complete chef uniform. You should pick an eye-catching hat that no other staffs are wearing. The main function of the hat is to keep your hair while doing the process. Your hat should include a skull cap, crown ball cap and dramatic beret. Of course, it should have a classic appeal with a traditional puff. Now that you already have an idea what a complete chef uniform is comprised of, you can start your shopping experience now!

Girl (3) dies three days after car crash
A three-year-old girl has died following a car crash in Co Kildare.
The girl, who had been travelling in the car with her father, died following a three-day fight for life with serious injuries in hospital.
Her father, aged in his 40s, was driving the car and is still receiving treatment for his injuries at Tallaght Hospital following the crash.
The accident occurred when two cars collided head-on on the Brannockstown Road, just outside Kilcullen, last Thursday morning.
A Garda spokesman said the incident occurred shortly after 8am.
"The collision occurred when two cars collided at approximately 8.05am on the R413 Brannockstown to Kilcullen Road on Thursday," he said.
"The girl was taken by ambulance to Naas General Hospital and later transferred to Children's University Hospital, Temple Street, where she was pronounced dead earlier today," he added, speaking last night.
Investigating gardaí are appealing for witnesses to contact them at Naas Garda station on 045 884300, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666111, or at any Garda station.
Local Fine Gael councillor Billy Hillis told the Irish Independent he had heard about the accident but was unaware that someone had died.
"I had heard it was a very bad accident.
"I'm very sorry to hear that, it's just very sad for anything like that to happen," added Cllr Hillis.

Baby Animals
These prints by Sharon Montrose are the cutest. Wouldn't they be great as a series hanging up in a babies room? I'm not sure which one is my favorite - it's between the porcupine and the piglet.
It's snowing here in NYC and I have to say it's quite pretty so maybe I'll stop complaining about how much I want spring :)

tis the season
This season can be maddening...if I succumb to the external noise and stir of the season...which I admittedly have. The newest addition of the tiny elf to our family was the tipping point. I have rapidly grown to regret my decision to cave to some external pressure to allow her to make her way in to our family. I can't blame it all on little elfie but I feel that she is yet another huge distraction from what is really going on this season. Beings are working diligently on our behalf to light up the planet and we scurry about at an insane pace trying to perfect upon their efforts...or maybe it's just that I do...rather than tapping in to the beauty and magic of the season without getting lost in the swirl. I had the occasion today to reminisce about the tornadoes of this past summer. This season feels a bit like that kind of storm. There is a powerful stir happening and we can get sucked up into it and be tossed about at breakneck speed, we can hold steady yet be crashed into, or we can move into the eye of the stir where the peace and calm exist. One of my daughters shared her perspective on Christmas lights during our drive home this evening...that they are visual displays of people's belief in something higher than themselves be it Santa or Jesus. Such wisdom from her youthful lips that I found soothing for my soul to hear. The biggest unrest of the day (the latter of which was spent immersed in consumerism) was that I had lost my way as a responsible conscious mama...and failed to teach my offspring what this season is really about. Her words alone inform me that Wisdom is having Her way with my daughter in spite of myself. I am grateful that She is getting through in spite of me feeling a bit caught up in the swirl. Out of the mouths of babes come some of the most profound things. In God's most infinite wisdom, God must have been on to something when deciding to show up as a newborn.
the year of self-love
I dedicated 2018 to learning and mastering the art of loving myself. It was given as the second of the 10 commandments so it must be pretty important. I wrote this at the beginning of the year and just took a fresh look at it. The overwhelming feelings I am experiencing this Advent season reassure me that I am well on my way. That said, I would like to share my reflections a year ago to let you in on a bit of my journey. Perhaps you will find it useful in some way. That is my prayer anyhow.
For as long as I can recall, self-love has been a hard one for me. I am not saying its easy for anyone...from the countless life stories I have been told...but it has been particularly challenging for me to do this. For all the times I have been told "I love you" by very convincing people, those words haven't reached down into the bottom of the pit that is most empty. I have felt an emptiness my whole life that no additions to the family could fulfill, no amount of friends could eliminate, no boyfriends could fix, no parental reassurances could soothe. I have climbed mountain tops (literally), sought out spiritual teachings and worked intensively for 13+ years with a teacher and that didn't fix it. Oh it helped a great deal and I had moments of "fulfillment" along the way but the hole never went away. I tried serving as a minister for 10 years...that helped increase my sense of worthiness but never completely fixed the problem and created a whole new set of issues to contend with. When I left the order and returned to my family and some friends of old, I found comfort but the pit remained unfulfilled. My resentment toward my husband grew for all that he could not satisfy...and towards myself for the love I have not been able to give in return when I feel I am drawing from crumbs inside. Most people would not know this about me. They would think I have it pretty together and that I have a pretty good grasp of what real love is. They would likely assume I feel pretty whole and complete as is. What they don't know is how skittish I have felt inside...how impulsive I am the moment I slow down enough to get nearer to that pit that beckons me in order to inform me of its presence. I have hated it with a vengeance. My teacher tried to push me there through countless spiritual practices. I have been challenged by other life mentors along the way to look at what I am running from. I think its the same thing most of us run from. I cannot be alone in this feeling. In fact, I think it serves a very useful purpose as painful as it is. This is the year that I devote to turning towards this feeling...towards this inner most vacuous place inside of myself...and the year that I do it with love, self motivation and self dedication. I am not doing it because a teacher is nudging (as happened when I was a student) or ordering (as happened when I was a priest) me to go there…nor because it makes me "good" in some way or better able to serve the needs of my fellow humans (although I would be delighted if this were the outcome). I am going there because it is clear to me by now that no one else can do this for me...no one else can fill this vacuous pit BUT me via my attention on it. I can beg for God's love to fill me up but if I am unwilling to love the very depths of my own being than how can God find a welcome space to dwell in because I have already declared it unworthy? My heart aches for the kind of attention that only I can give it. It longs for the kind of deep fulfilling love that only I can give. Trying to do good for the sake of earning someone else's love is hog wash and just plain doesn't work...even if that person is Jesus Christ. I know in my mind that there is nothing I could do to earn His love...he already died for me so that I could be filled to the brim. There is a problem with my willingness to accept it...or lack of. I have believed myself to be unworthy in some way...unworthy of the most perfect of all Loves. My mind knows that this is not true...and I have experienced the reality of this unconditional Love in moments of Divine Inspiration and in deep contemplation. I have felt ecstatic Love course through my being and felt this Love to be personally available to me...but I have repeatedly chosen to walk away from it. I have chosen to turn against Love and to stack evidence in favor of why I am not worthy. The reality I then live in is one of deprivation and lack. It is painful, lonely, desperate. I want to describe this in full for the average person that lives with this experience daily and neglects it...or busies themselves in hopes that it will go away. I want to detail out this journey in the event that I can successfully turn the tide on this one and live inside a whole new reality feeling my perpetual worthiness. I want to be able to look in the mirror and see a person who knows that she is worthy of love staring back at me. I want to feel my cup running over and I want to feel an organic freedom to give freely from this overflowing cup. I want to love from a place of wholeness and completeness. I want to see my partner as someone to share life with vs. someone who I need something from in order to feel whole. I want my daughters to have the freedom to be themselves and succeed or fail in whatever way is right for them so that they can ultimately learn the lessons they are here to learn and not have it mean something about my own goodness or badness...my own worthiness or unworthiness. Since we left the spiritual order to embark on a secular life once again in order to salvage our marriage and fully assume the responsibilities of parenting, I have found countless ways to busy myself from moving (on too many occasions to count), settling girls in new schools 3 times for each of them, myself in 3 new jobs and sought out new friendships and attempted to establish a sense of belonging in each new location. We are now settled...or at least settling in...enough so that I can bring renewed attention to myself. In deep meditation when the answers to my questions would determine which direction my life would go, I was told to step down from actively serving as a priest but to write my story. I was instructed to depend on Jesus in a way that I had not before. I have toyed with these internal commands ever since receiving them 5 years ago. I have attempted to put pen to paper but always had the approval of or gift to others in mind when doing so which felt like it tainted the process. Now I write for me...and for the three people I share this home with. I write in attempts to remain close to this process of learning the art of self-loving and to document a process that might somehow serve to benefit at least one other person at some point in the future. If one person's life is benefited by my living, then I will consider my life to have meant something. For now, that person is me. Hi Kelly...I have finally shown up to love you. What do you need from me? I am all ears.
thrifty mama
$91..easily the cost of a sweater, a pair of designer jeans, an Athleta jacket or a pair of shoes bought new at a women's clothing store. At Goodwill $91 bought me 3 jackets, 2 sweaters, 2 scarves, 1 pair of jeans and a black knit stocking cap. It also purchased 4 Christmas presents, a stylish gift bag and 3 brand new rolls of holiday gift wrap. The icing on the cake was the $6 gala dress that needs just a few minor alterations. It is a secret pleasure of mine to roam the aisles of a thrift store to see what grabs my attention without draining my bank account. I have a quiet passion for re-purposing most anything to extend its life and the longevity of our landfills. This love took root in me early on in life sifting and sorting through the many stored goods in my grandma's musty basement. Pantry shelves were an eye sore or a treasure trove whichever way you chose to see it. It grew during frequent stops to neighborhood yard sales with my parents and the occasional weekend trips to flea markets with my dad where I watched him scurry about with contained delight. When we moved to Europe the open air markets were some of my most remembered outings watching him speak English slower and louder to overcome any language barrier while haggling for a better deal. During high school, thrift stores were the place to go for men's boxers and pajamas...not sure how those became popular but pretty much grosses me out now to think about it! In college, thrift stores were the cool place to shop thanks to the hipness of 'grunge'. Mainstream clothing manufacturers hadn't caught on yet to the fact that they could make bank off of faded, distressed and torn clothing products. As a new mom, thrift or consignment was the only way to go. How satisfying to walk out of a store with a bag full of clothing for the next growth cycle that I paid for with store credit. My husband tried to convince me that using up the credit didn't mean free but I wouldn't buy it. In Bellingham, WA, thrift store shopping was cool and conscious. Most kids wouldn't bat an eye if you revealed where you got your new digs. The first fall in our Shorewood school, my third grade daughter's brand new Star Wars back pack (with original tags to boot) was something to drool over until she naively announced to her new-found friends that she scored it at Goodwill. Their snubbed noses was her turning point. Thrift was no longer cool or acceptable; in fact, it pretty much grossed her out. Our limited clothes shopping budget and her disdain for most secondhand goods, has left her with a minimalist wardrobe by default. Tonight wise thrifty mama made an appearance. A swift Google search put us in touch with scores of her favorite female celebrities who are intentional about thrifting. While I normally frown at our collective tendency to put the "stars" on a pedestal and then gawk at them, I was grateful for a little reinforcement from the celestial realm. It was good medicine for me too as I found myself shamefully confessing where I bought this or that as if I somehow needed to make excuses for how I satisfy some of our family's needs and wants. When I was younger it was cool...then it became practical and at times a downright blessing. Most importantly, it has always been difficult for me to reconcile buying new when gently used means one less material item to burden our already overly stressed environment and gluttonous landfills. As my oldest nodded off to sleep she asked if she could at least "occasionally" buy something new. Her request affirmed that the stars aligned and wise thrifty mama got through...and now my not-so-little one is a little wiser too. *If you have thrifty stories you would like to share, please do!
embracing death
Following the last of the winter thaw, Wisconsin's spring of 2018 ignited with a bang. In just shy of a week, brown was overtaken by electric shades of green in all directions. Quiet was drowned out by a chorus of crickets, frogs, and wind that carried the scent of all things growing wildly. The gentle pitter patter or thunderous downpour was a sure indication that mowing would soon be a priority on the exponentially growing list of chores. Just one cycle of the seasons ago, spring meant a walk to the neighborhood coffee shop or farmer's market without a burdensome winter coat. Now coffee is conveniently and solely brewed 10 steps from bed and the market produce is 10 yards from the kitchen door. I'd like to say these conveniences mean life is slower and simpler now...but it's not really. In fact, rural farm life is busier and more complicated in many ways...even on our humble plot of land. It's demands are relentless so long as the sun keeps shining and the rain keeps falling...and harvest is nothing to joke about. As swiftly as spring arose, autumn descended along with the beckoning call to pick, dry, boil and can to ensure that not an ounce of the summer's energies were wasted. Farming on any scale is not for the faint of heart or hand. This is where slow comes in. Each day requires a mindful walk about the land to hear which elements are speaking the loudest. Rushing risks missing the call to be pruned so that more vital sunlight can find its way to vulnerable fruits struggling to hang on...or the call of the cabbage leaves being silently invaded by stealthy slugs. Simple comes in next. Routines need to be paired down. When too many steps are involved the most vital one risks being overlooked and imminent death might be the consequence of such forgetfulness. When too many activities are added to the schedule, essential rejuvenation time is missed out on which creates a painful domino effect and life becomes infinitely more difficult for the human residents of this shared land. As the vital life force withdraws deeper into Mother Earth, we breathe a sigh of relief. The push is coming to an end for a season and the return of brown and decay means our bodies can rest and the creative life force can be harnessed anew. For me, this is evidenced by words emerging more freely and abundantly. For Tim it means breads, pizzas and pastries are making their way into and out of the oven once again...and our home smells divine. For our girls it means a deeper dive into academics and extracurricular pursuits that align with their heart's budding interests. In what ways do you embrace the gift of death that autumn and winter bring? I dread the thought of disrupting our seasonal cycles in such a way that we one day find ourselves reminiscing about this gift of death with nostalgia.
He extended a weekend invitation to his wife and four daughters, the kind of invitation you might chuckle or cringe at as a young girl. I cannot recall if I did either. I think, like most of our family outings, I fondly looked forward to the hangout time we would have together. Whatever else was icing on the cake. All I knew about this peculiar invite was that it included our pop-up camper, clothing for mixed weather, plenty of food and snacks including our favorite black and red licorice and oodles of card games. We loaded up into our rather lengthy striped brown and tan van that had pull out bench seats. I can distinctly recall its musty vinyl smell and how I felt riding in it. I recall moving about freely unrestrained by cumbersome car seats and seat belts that are now the most basic requirement for good parenting. My eyes were wide as saucers as I took in the scene upon arriving at our weekend destination...a wooded lot full of downed trees and an abundance of open space to cartwheel and roam free in to our heart's content. I recall chilly autumn air with just a faint touch of warmth kissing my reddened cheeks. I recall the sound of the pull cord on the old chain saw and the revving motor that spewed out smoky clouds while in use. I recall the large open space in our van growing smaller by the second as we filled it with stacks of freshly cut wood. I recall waking up in the middle of the night to the anxious stirring of my parents as they wrestled with the small heater in attempts to get it to bring some much needed warmth into our freezing cold camper...and then again in the early morning to a mound of snow atop our camper and all around us. In my memory the whole scene lives on as fondly as one of Laura's fictional tales in Little House in the Big Woods...except we were the Little Camper in the Big Wood Lot. In my memory there was no arguing or fighting. Our ages were still pretty spread out so there was a comfortable buffer between us that seemed to eliminate any need for competition that might creep in later on in life. My mom might recall it differently...but that is the beauty of memory and story...I get to recall it and tell it as it lives on in me. This past Saturday I invited my husband to be my date at a fancy ball of sorts. It was a lovely occasion and might have stood out in my younger years as the preferred venue for a ball with the preferred attire. Last night and this evening when I learned that he would be chopping and stacking wood, I eagerly rearranged my schedule so that I could help. I am not sure if it was the familiar roar of the chainsaw, the methodical slicing through the dense wood, the sound the logs make as one gets stacked upon another, the campfire fueled by the brush and plethora of irregular woodcuts, our girls running around in the crisp autumn air with the waxing full moon in the backdrop or the feeling I had toward my spouse that in that moment that things were just right...but it all came back...that invitation to the Woodcutter's Ball decades ago. I thought to myself that if I had to choose, the Woodcutter's Ball is the one for me. It felt like it was yesterday and my heart swelled with an unexpected gratitude for that moment in time then...and this moment in time now. Thank you dad for all of the ways you included us in the experiences that were meaningful to you then so that they can give meaning, depth and a simple richness to our lives now. I love you to that waxin g moon and back.
an almost perfect night
Tonight was one of those nights that felt close to perfect...minus the parts that weren't so perfect. I'm going to focus on the near-perfect for now cuz I'd like our nights to feel this way more often and I have a quiet hunch that focusing on them will help toward that end. I think the weather shift was forcing some old shit out and opening the way for something new to come in. Dinner was yummy, peaceful and fun. We all seemed to have happy moments in our day to highlight...new treads on the truck, an audition that led to a favorable outcome, fantasies about a limo ride to the Dells paid for by the Brownies!, and an invitation to a gala. Red licorice chased dinner followed by dancing to everything from Bruce Springsteen to one of my all time favs, John Denver. Watching our youngest bust her fancy moves while slow dancing with our firstborn to "Rocky Mountain High" while reminiscing about her birth in a Colorado spring snowstorm and all the ups and downs we have experienced since...I felt my heart flutter as tears rolled down my face taking it all in...allowing myself to feel it all...especially the gratitude part for the triumphs over the tribulations. My heart was full and life felt pretty perfect in that moment. The remainder of eve following had its moments of turbulence with the usual resistance to bed time, testing technology boundaries, and an emotional meltdown when the boundary didn't melt. I pulled away from my usual engagement and gave room for reflection and contemplation. The outcome was better than expected and left us all seemingly wiser. Now I'm going to sign off from this nearly perfect night and go to bed. It's significantly later than a bedtime I cannot seem to keep. I will work on perfecting that another night. For now, goodnight!
contemplating social media
Sometimes I grow weary of my unwillingness to self discipline. Perusing social media makes me feel depressed and lose site of the blessings in my own life and objectifies others as something to be jealous of vs. seeing them as beings who have lived complex lives and overcome a myriad of challenges and obstacles to be where they are today. I want to stop but don't know how. I have fallen prey to something beyond my ability to comprehend right now. I'm filled with jealousy and envy and it's toxic to my very well-being. What is the best remedy? Remove the apps? How else will I communicate what is of value to me? Does it matter that I try to communicate such things anyway? I see others living in beautiful homes, adventuring in the coolest of places, along side of the most interesting companions with the world's smartest and most talented offspring, contributing the most valuable things to the world. It's nearly impossible to measure up. What would happen if I removed them? Who would know me? Who would care? I love to write but I hate the idea of putting things out there that spark the same internal processes that I find to be so toxic. Why do we keep going with this poisonous habit? For the shred of good it offers...the moments of intermittent connection, the nostalgic ties to the past which I might argue are more harmful than good by how these reminders make my poor heart feel. I frequently find it to be detrimental to my psychological and spiritual well-being yet find myself returning to it for the crumbs it gives me in exchange for my vital life force. Images are powerful. They have the power to communicate so much so quickly. It's equally as interesting to contemplate all that we choose to eliminate from a picture. Words force our minds to slow down, process, digest, own or release depending on their inherent value to us. What would happen if I stopped posting? Who would miss out? Who would gain? Me, my girls, my spouse? Those I would take the time to call or make the time to see instead? My introverted tendencies have found a way to engage when I might otherwise keep to myself. But does this engagement serve any purpose beyond giving me a false sense of connection? We...I...try to freeze a moment in time as if simply living it is somehow not enough. The joy of a moment is ours...and shared is ours multiplied...but somehow when it gets "posted" for the world at large something of it gets lost, cheapened for all that another might deduce of that slice of life we provided for them to make shit up about. It's the journey leading up to the moment that we truly hold near and dear and that we see in the images we personally snap and freeze in time. When someone else looks they can only see the exact moment in time from the vantage point we have opted to freeze...and make up the rest according to their own world view and whatever fits with their beliefs and patterns of thinking. It's really a crazy thing that we have grown to value a two dimensional screen and the things it communicates to us more than we value the present moment in time we are actually living in and experiencing...the beating of our heart, the pulsation of blood and vital life force coursing through our veins, life giving oxygen flowing into and out of our lungs, the simple raw feeling of being in our bodies living the lives we have been gifted to live.
why I live green
I cannot see myself as separate from the natural world that surrounds me. It is not dependent on me as I am on it. I possess tremendous power to create and cultivate or dismantle and destroy by the choices I make. I fall prey to fatigue and laziness causing me to rationalize my decisions. My children and their own will bear the consequences of these rationalizations. This is a hard reality to face and inspires me to hold myself more accountable to living green and motivating and educating others to do the same.
an inside outside job
This moment I am in right now is sweet...sweet because I have set a boundary. Life has tossed me to and fro enough that I have finally had enough of certain things to the point of putting my foot down. It's an inside outside job. I have spent many a year falling prey to comparisons and finding myself coming up short. It's generally my own self assessment that determines another to be better than me...or another's experience of life to be somehow better than my own. It has been a painful, abusive, devaluing way of treating myself. In this sweet moment I feel acceptance and self-forgiveness for the pain this habit has caused me...and in doing so feel somewhat freed of its possessive hold on me. Simultaneously I feel done with allowing anyone outside of myself to do the same. I have lost my tolerance for it. I feel this new tender but firm "no" inside that time will serve to strengthen provided I persist in vigilance and firmness in my word. I pray for clarity of sight and assertion of voice. Thank you.
the way of your cross
Jesus, you gift each of us with a unique journey. My deepest sorrow and greatest joy result from traveling this journey with you. That is the way of the cross. It is the agony and the ecstasy. I spend many a moment contemplating and trying to be faithful to the course while simultaneously wishing desperately I had been gifted with someone else's travel plans. My current life is a result of hundreds of choices made while trying to be true to your call. My deepest inner conflict comes from the gnawing feeling that I somehow heard you wrong or went off track and did my own thing. I pray to be at peace with the choices I have made thus far and for a deep inner peace to accompany present and future choices.
I'm Kelly Isabelle.
Full-time workin' mama & spouse aspiring to live a slowly paced, sustainably minded, creatively expressed, clutter-free life shared with kindred folk.

Hi everyone! This is my first real writing post, so feel free to comment suggestions if you think it could be improved! I started this story a looong time ago, but found it the other day and thought it had potential… it's not close to being done yet, but this is a start!
Chapter 1
A young girl waits beside her village's well. It's crumbling badly, and moss creeps over its edges, fed by the stale water within. Every morning, the girl is sent to fetch a bucketful from the well, and bring it home without spilling a drop.
She doesn't know why her foster parents take this job so seriously, because fresher water came from the sky daily. Everything from the well tastes froggy, and slips off the tongue. It leaves a nasty flavor behind, reminding you of your poverty.
Look at you, the well-water sneers. Can't even afford good water.
The rotting wooden bucket doesn't improve matters. But money must be saved for more important things. Coins are to be spent on cheap silverware, and oil for lamps. Not things you can make yourself.
Wastefulness is an unspoken sin.
This is something the girl (and every other child in her village, and part of Ireland) was taught early on. The first rule adults speak of, in this weak place, is not the Golden Rule, but conservation. That, and the punishment you will swiftly receive if failure to comply occurs.
Here, conservation is everything.
"Save that bread. Enough crumbs make a meal."
"That's perfectly good fabric; those scraps could make half a dress."
"Goodness gracious, what in heavens are you doing? Don't ever wipe the coal from your boots again, now I'll have to pick it from the rug. We could rekindle the fire with that."
And so on.
It doesn't make for a pleasant lifestyle.
But, these people, it's all they know.
The girl's name is Kerenza, and she's lived with Mrs. Lynch and her deaf husband, Mr. Lynch, for almost seven years. When she was five (mere months away from turning six), her father left for America and never returned, and her mother suddenly took ill and passed, leaving their only child behind.
There were no next of kin.
If Kerenza had been older, and her eyes sharper, when she died, she might have noticed the swelling of her mother's midsection, and the oddly delicate was she carried herself.
I believe she would have been a lovely older sister.
But. Things were as they were. And with no one else to turn to, the government (who had far greater worries than a familyless child) sent Kerenza to then-newly wed Ciara and Liam. The beauty of marriage still lingered, and such joy had opened their hearts to anything.
For though they coddled and looked after the young girl, a certain bitterness was always there. And who could blame them? They'd barely been aware of the girl's existence prior to her arrival in their home, and the couple's history with Kerenza's parents wasn't entirely clean.
Eventually, the initial happiness of a child in Ciara and Liam's house faded, then went completely. As Kerenza grew older, she required less care, but more of everything else: more living space, more food, and, worst of all, an education.
There weren't any schools for miles around, and the tired couple (who now bickered regularly and scolded Kerenza to rid themselves of the anger that plagued them) certainly didn't have time for homeschooling silliness. Such a thing was unheard of.
What strong, unbroken young Kerenza needed was hard work. Lots of it.
For little girls and little boys require breaking in. Like plow horses; discipline is key.
Breakfast and supper for a tiring day's labor. One potato slice for a cow milked. And so on. How else would Ciara and Liam manage? They barely had enough to feed themselves, and now a rapidly-growing child desperately needed the shirt off their backs, among other things they couldn't possibly give.
Nourishment was only one.
But true and unbent affection trumped all. A warm bed and cozy fireside were only daydreams, not hankered after nearly as much as parental adoration.
Children need to be loved, in order to properly flourish.
Which is why Kerenza turned out the way she did.
She hides it well, but Kerenza is desperately angry at the entire world.
"Do this; do that." That is all she hears, day after day. Not a word of thanks at the end of it, mind. She and Ciara Lynch are similar in this way, not that she will ever admit it.
Kerenza's demure expression melted off her face, as if the bucket has washed some repulsive well-water down her skin and scrubbed away false layers of contentment, like the chalky makeup Mrs. Lynch wears on "special occasions." The only occasion special enough for Ciara to do up her hair and wear decent stockings will be Kerenza's funeral, she knows.

A family-owned business started in 1926, Crown has been making batteries in Fremont, Ohio for more than 90 years. Recently, we were recognized by ABC 13 for our growth,
A family-owned business started in 1926, Crown has been making batteries in Fremont, Ohio for more than 90 years. Recently, we were recognized by ABC 13 for our growth,
There are a few times in life when we pause to reflect - birthdays and anniversaries, milestones like graduations, the end of major projects, and at the start of a new year. This really isn't any different given that Crown Battery Corporation celebrated 90 years of business this year. The difference may be in the fact the Crown Battery seems to just be hitting our stride. Join us as we take a brief look at what we have accomplished.
Laws of Physics tell us that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Think of bouncing a rubber ball. But this truth continues into other areas of our lives and businesses as well. Implement poor manufacturing practices or use inferior supplies and product quality will reflect that in higher fail rates and ultimately customer dissatisfaction. Fortunately, this can work in your favor as well. When product development is perfectly matched with company values, positive growth is inevitable. Read on to see how Crown is aligning for their future - and yours.
Investing in solar and wind power to harvest natural energy is just beginning of a renewable energy strategy. Getting your investment to pay off is that critical step two that starts with the right renewable energy storage systems. Next month Crown Battery will feature several RE storage options at the SPI show in Las Vegas, but here's a sneak peak of what you can expect.

PPE Personal Protective Equipment
Buy PPE Equipment from Essential Safety Wear
Essential Safety Wear is a PPE supplier and safety clothing and equipment specialist in the UK, who have been providing protective equipment for over 10 years.
Here at Essential Safety Wear, we stock and supply a wide range of HSE compliant P.P.E equipment, clothing and workwear designed to protect you whilst in the workplace or in a hazardous environment.
What Is PPE Personal Protective Equipment?
The expression personal protective equipment, often referred to as PPE, alludes to a considerable collection of items designed to protect employees from workplace dangers.
PPE clothing is used in situations in cases where all risks haven't been designed out of process. Before PPE is selected and work begins, a risk assessment should always be performed.
Personal Protective Equipment is described in the Regulations as 'all equipment (including clothing affording protection against the weather) which is intended to be worn or held by a person at work and which protects him against one or more risks to his health or safety', such as eye protection, gloves, safety helmets, high-visibility clothing, safety footwear and safety harnesses.
We're sure you'll find the right PPE equipment for your team – take a look at our products below.
What Types of PPE Workwear Do You Stock?
From vented safety hats to safety eye screens, from ear protectors to dust masks, whatever your PPE equipment requirement maybe, we can help. It's important for health and safety reasons to remain compliant, some workplaces will require PPE equipment/supplies before being allowed to enter/work. We offer competitively priced workwear with fast UK mainland delivery.
Importance of PPE Personal Protective Equipment
Part of making the workplace safe involves kitting out employees with procedures, instructions, training and regulations to nurture safe and responsible working. PPE promotes a safe working environment, so it's always going to be a vital part of running a thriving and trustworthy business.
Some possible hazards include injuries to:
- The lungs, e.g. from breathing in contaminated air
- The head and feet, e.g. from falling materials
- The eyes, e.g. from flying particles or splashes of corrosive liquids
- The skin, e.g. from contact with corrosive materials
- The body, e.g. from extremes of heat or cold
- PPE is needed in these cases to reduce the risk.
Personal Protecting Equipment should only be utilised as a last resort once other controls and systems have been set up.
Who is Responsible for PPE Workwear?
The employer is responsible for ensuring employees have and wear the right PPE; it's against the rules to request money from an employee for their PPE.
That said, employees must also be responsible for their own safety and wear the appropriate PPE in line with the guidelines they're given. Employees must make sure it's given back to the correct place and they shouldn't carry out upkeep to apparatus unless they've been properly trained and are permitted to do so.
Should an employee decline to wear any PPE, they're putting themselves at risk, not to mention breaking rules, as they're legally obliged to wear the PPE to stay safe.
If you're in doubt about anything regarding PPE, e.g. what you should be wearing, your responsibilities or refusal to wear, you can get in touch with us and we'll be happy to provide you with any advice that we can. Give us a call on 01462 675200 and we'll assist you with any questions you have, whether it's about PPE or anything else health and safety related.

Worth the money!
My family has had a running prank war on holidays as long as I can remember. Needless to say, these really won it this time! We put them in Christmas cards and everyone from kids to adults just loved them. The quality is great so I expect these will be circulating around the family for a while. A wholesome little prank no one can stay mad at.
Thanks so much for your awesome review of our wind up flying butterfly. We love helping put a smile on people's faces!
Butterfly Flyers card pop in's reactions
I purchased these online after seeing the great pricing I could purchase in bulk. The materials alone would have cost me more to make a DIY version. I've used these with co-workers bdays, and to colleagues, or clients who are not responding to my emails or phone calls and I've gotten a Huge response! Either they laugh and think it's cool or they are scared out of their wits and want to **** me. Either way, the reaction is fun and out of the box. They really do look like they fly. Be sure to wind them 30 times or they take flight as well. Re-usable as many co-workers pranked other in the office with the same butterfly. I would like to order custom created propellers for work branding.
Thanks for the awesome review and for using them for "Out of the Box" type of stuff!

Study: Nail polish threatens health, hours after applying
Natural nail polish alternatives can help manicurists, clients avoid allergies, cancer, and hormone disruption
Duke University researchers find nail polish chemical toxins disrupt hormone production, other effects; natural nail polish alternatives available
Nail polish can seriously affect the health of women and girls, researchers at Duke University and the Environmental Working Group found.
The three-year-old study, published in 2015 in Environment International, found that many of the most popular American nail polish brands are actually extremely harmful. The study involved 24 women and experts evaluated the effects of the chemical toxins in their bodies. The source of these chemicals was nail polish.
All of the participants were found to have signs of triphenyl phosphate in the body only 10 hours after applying nail polish.
The study has serious ramifications in 2018 in the urban core because nail shops in the inner city per capita are denser than anywhere else in the country, often next door and across the street in proximity.
Some brands fail to list toxins
The same researchers, in a follow-up study, evaluated 10 different nail polishes for triphenyl phosphate and found it in 8 of them.
What's more, two of these 8 did not even list the presence of the chemical on the label. Therefore, 20 percent of the most popular nail polishes purchased have a harmful chemical not listed on the label.
Triphenyl phosphate (or TPHP) is a dangerous chemical that disrupts the human endocrine system, which controls hormones. According to the lead researcher of the study, Dr. Heather Stapleton, "There is growing evidence suggesting that TPHP may affect hormone regulation, metabolism, reproduction, and development."
Hence, this is extremely alarming for young girls who use nail polish on a daily basis and the healthy hormonal development is vital for their growth. TPHP is a known:
- Neurotoxin (causes developmental effects)
- Reproductive toxin
- Skin irritant and allergen
- Endocrine toxin
Nail polish contains other harmful ingredients as well, such as:
- Formaldehyde — A popular carcinogen which dissolves in water and air. It leads to asthma, scratchy throat, and difficulty breathing. Individuals suffering from some chronic diseases are especially prone to poisoning from formaldehyde.
- Dibutyl phthalate — Poses similar risks as TPHP; disrupts the hormonal balance and contains reproductive system toxins.
- Toluene — Impedes the development in children and irritates skin.
Non-toxic nail polish alternatives
Yet, there are some natural nail polish alternatives to prevent these effects and help manicurists and their clients avoid allergies, cancer, and hormone disruption.
- Acquarella offers more than 50 polish colors, which are all water-based, meaning the polishes are easily removable with standard rubbing alcohol. The products also do not contain any of the harmful ingredients like formaldehyde, toluene, dibutyl phthalate, mercury, or wheat products.
- Peacekeeper Cause-Metics offers bright nail polishes, which do not contain toxins and are infused with argan oil, which moisturizes nails.
- SpaRitual is a completely vegan brand that produces toxin-free nail polishes.
- Honeybee Gardens offers nail polishes in various colors, which are water-based, and free of carcinogens and harmful chemicals.

Review: Entwined by Heather Dixon
Entwined's fairy tale tone immediately pulls the reader into an enchanted world and brilliantly imaginative story. The world-building in this novel is phenomenal, creating original kingdoms and secret forests of silver and starlight. Heather Dixon weaves the formalities of yore -- dancing and curtsies and solemn vows -- into her magical world with ease, adding a unique flavor to the tale. The high fantasy feel was unexpected but welcome, a wonderful escape from reality.
The highlight of the novel is unquestionably the twelve princesses. Their relationship is heart-warming and adorable, reminding me of puppies playfully tumbling over one another. Their bond is unbreakable, and their sisterly love is palpable. The eldest sisters radiate life -- especially Azalea, the heroine. Though she is literally a fairy tale princess, she feels like a real girl with real problems, and she faces them head-on.
The driving force of the story is the girls' troubled relationship with their father, the King. The family has their difficulties -- and big ones, at that -- but they evolve believably as a unit. It is refreshing to see a parent-child relationship develop and grow, rather than stagnate or be pushed aside. Though many YA novels feature absent (literally or emotionally) parents, the King was a significant presence and complex character, with a charm and charisma all his own.
Speaking of charm and charisma -- one cannot forget Lord Bradford. Bradford is quite possibly the most huggable hero ever written. The poor fellow is always slightly rumpled -- hair mussed, clothes askew. He fits perfectly in this quaint fairy tale fantasy. The romance that develops between him and the Princess Royale is endearing -- worthy of a "happily ever after." There's no love-at-first-sight, and the way Dixon sets up their relationship is cleverly plotted to avoid some dangerous waters that could undermine their love.
This novel is cute and quirky, full of the absurd yet spirited situations one might expect in a fairy tale. A few plot elements were predictable, but it in no way lessened the joy of reading this novel. Entwined will sweep readers off their feet, straight into a world of fairy princesses and haunted castles, where everything may not be quite what it seems.
Disclosure: I received an advance review copy of this novel from the publisher. This did not influence my review in any way.
This novel hits shelves today! Click here to purchase Entwined by Heather Dixon.

July 20, 2009- Last week, we had the privilege of welcoming our shareholders to the ConnectEDU Annual Shareholders Meeting. Held at the Starr Center in Boston, the annual summit program included a 12 month summary of ConnectEDU's progressive development and an overview of what is next on the Company's accelerated growth plan.
The highlight of the evening was hearing from two of our key partners in the ConnectEDU National Network™ – Jeff Brenzel, Dean of Undergraduate Admissions at Yale University, and Chris Anderson, Executive Director at the Massachusetts High Technology Council. Hearing first hand from partners who share our mission and passion to empower students to manage their education and launch their career was energizing to say the least!
Following this year's annual summit, remarks were made to me that this was our best shareholder meeting to date. I couldn't agree more! Both the involvement of our partners as well as our staff, brought a synergy to the group that was very apparent. After reflecting over the weekend, I am excited that our shareholders shared in the same passion that I see everyday - both from our partners and from our staff – and realize that all involved are committed to one goal – empowering students to manage their education and launch their career.

|A view of a 2002 Gibson Les Paul 50th Anniversary Model, Signed by Les Paul on display during Guernsey's Celebrity Guitar Auction preview at Bohemian National Hall on February 24, 2016 in New York City. (Photo: Cindy Ord/Getty Images/AFP)
The mythical company - in Nashville, Tennessee since 1894 - on Monday (Feb 19) brought in a new financial director, Benson Woo, to try to rescue the ailing group.
Gibson Brands, which also sells audio systems for both professionals and the general public, is working with an investment bank to set up a debt refinancing plan, the company said in a statement.
The group has a US$375 million debt payment due in early August, the Nashville Post reported.
"While the musical instrument and pro audio segments have been profitable and growing, they are still below the level of success we saw several years ago," CEO Henry Juszkiewicz said in the statement.
He said the company, as part of a broad review of its business strategy, was continuing to streamline its Philips brand consumer audio business while eliminating some underperforming products.
He said Gibson expects this strategy will lead "to the best financial results the company has seen in its history within the next year," with full repayment of company debt "within several years."
Gibson bought Philips, a Dutch entertainment brand, in 2014 for US$135 million.
Gibson produces one of the most prestigious guitar models in the world, the Les Paul.
Among the stars who have played Gibson instruments are the bluesman B.B. King, the Rolling Stone Keith Richards and Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin.
In 2016, a Gibson Dove - a flattop, steel-string acoustic guitar that Presley's father had given him in 1969 - sold at auction for the healthy sum of US$334,000.
A year earlier, one of Lennon's favorite guitars - he used it to compose songs like "All My Loving" and "She Loves You" - brought in an even more impressive US$2.4 million.

WILSON, US, 2017. Starring Woody Harrelson, Laura Dern, Judy Greer, Isabella Amara, Cheryl Hines, Margo Martindale, David Warshawsky. Directed by Craig Johnson. 94 minutes. Rated MA (strong coarse language).
The best thing about this comedy drama is the performance by Woody Harrelson as Wilson. He is very much an oddball character in an oddball comedy. In some ways, with all his flaws and foibles, He is something of the 20th century-21st-century Everyman.
As might be expected, we first see him waking up, living alone except for his pet dog, middle-aged, the touch of the scruffy, with no explanation of whether he works or not, or what is his source of income. He doesn't seem to worry about this at all. Perhaps, neither should we.
While Wilson has something of a good heart, he is also very direct in the way that he thinks, feels and, definitely, expresses himself to others. No filters! He has no friends to speak of, pleads with one not to move to St Louis from Minnesota, visits another to rekindle friendship only to find that this man is the embodiment of negativity and bitterness. Wilson will chat to people – as we see him imposing on an IT businessman, trying to sleep or to listen to his Walkman, in a train. And chatting with an IT-addicted woman would like to go on a date, in the diner.
Then we learn more about Wilson, his memories of his mother, his going to see his dying father who passes away without saying a word, something Wilson needs. Then we learn that his wife, Pippi, left him 17 years earlier, problems with drugs, pregnant and saying she would have an abortion.
Which means then that Wilson has been living like this for 17 years. A lonely and isolated life, despite himself.
But the IT lady googles his wife and finds links to her sister with Wilson then tracking her down as a waitress in a restaurant, trying to get her life back in order, something of a waif -like middle-aged woman (Laura Dern) who reveals that she did not have an abortion, had sent him the documents, had received no reply and had the girl adopted.
Having found Pippi, Wilson and is determined to find his daughter, Claire, readily getting information, tracking her down with Pippi, coming to her aid when she is bullied at school, not holding back in revealing who he is and who Pippi is, sharing some happy events with Claire, even taking her to see Pippi's sister – and ill-fated venture which ends with Pippi and Holly fighting each other and charges of abduction for Wilson.
Wilson even glides through his prison sentence, despite some bashings, gradually ingratiating himself with everyone so that when he emerges from prison, and goes to see his neighbour Shelley (Judy Greer) who has minded his dog, there is some hope – though some disappointments in Pippi and some surprises with Claire…
Perhaps it does one some good sharing the life, hopes and disappointments of somebody so different in an oddball way.

Happy Monday and Welcome to April!
In a reverse twist on the Robin Hood story, a young medieval maiden stands up for the rights of the mistreated, stealing from the rich to give to the poor. All the while, she fights against her cruel uncle who has taken over the land that is rightfully hers. Forced to live in the woods and hide with the poor people she's grown to love, she works to save and protect them, but she never anticipates falling in love with the wealthy knight who represents all she's come to despise.
My Review: Isn't the cover beautiful? I so enjoyed this book. It is book two in this series. I was so glad to see a returning character from book one "An Uncertain Choice." Collin will capture your heart as he tries to help the cloaked bandit (read it to find out who this person is, nope not going to tell you). You'll smile at the bantering, hold your breath in the edge of your seat scenes and you'll keep turning the page to see what happens next. It is a fun read yet at the same time a reminder that God never leaves even when it looks like He has forgotten us.
If you haven't read the Prequel: "The Vow" or Book 1: "An Uncertain Choice then I highly recommend them. This book can be read as a stand alone but you'll enjoy reading the previous two.
