For the month of October I am bringing you a behind the scenes look into my everyday life. This past Friday I had my full scan which included blood work, PET scan, a CT scan and a Breast MRI. These tests are performed every month with the PET scan performed every three months.
The anxiety that comes with going in for these scans can be overwhelming and down right shitty. Days leading up to my scans I become quiet, introverted and at times a down right bitch to anyone in my inner circle.
I have learened some helpful tricks to calm my mind and nerves which inlcude meditation, taking a few moments before the scans to go to a place of gratitude for a positive outcome, and sometimes a good cry in the car to just get out my emotions.
For those of you who have never experienced or have only heard of these scans I wanted to shed some light on what these scans are and why they are part of my protocol.
A positron emission tomography (PET) scan is an imaging test that allows your doctor to check for diseases in your body.
The scan uses a special dye containing radioactive tracers. These tracers are either swallowed, inhaled, or injected into a vein in your arm depending on what part of the body is being examined. Certain organs and tissues then absorb the tracer. (Mine is injected into my arm as you can see from the picture above)
When detected by a PET scanner, the tracers help your doctor to see how well your organs and tissues are working.
The tracer will collect in areas of higher chemical activity, which is helpful because certain tissues of the body, and certain diseases, have a higher level of chemical activity. These areas of disease will show up as bright spots on the PET scan.
The PET scan can measure blood flow, oxygen use, how your body uses sugar, and much more.
A PET scan is typically an outpatient procedure. This means you can go about your day after the test is finished.
You can get a CT scan on any part of your body. The procedure doesn't take very long, and it's painless.
They use a narrow X-ray beam that circles around one part of your body. This provides a series of images from many different angles. A computer uses this information to create a cross-sectional picture. Like one piece in a loaf of bread, this two-dimensional (2D) scan shows a "slice" of the inside of your body.
This process is repeated to produce a number of slices. The computer stacks these scans one on top of the other to create a three-dimensional (3D) image. This can give your doctor a better view of your organs, bones, or blood vessels. For example, a surgeon may use this type of scan to look at all sides of a tumor to prepare for an operation.
A breast MRI(magnetic resonance imaging) scan is an imaging test that uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create pictures of the breast and surrounding tissue. It does not use radiation (x-rays). A breast MRI may be done in combination with mammography or ultrasound. It is not a replacement for mammography

Hello fellow Bloggers, its wednesday again and I am still making dickies.It has become a test of character, almost a quest one might say. As you know, if you have been reading this blog. I have been developing a Dicky pattern in 4 weights of yarn; Bulky, Aran, Worsted and Dk. Alright maybe I didn't think my production order through as thoroughly as I should have. Did you know that as the yarn becomes finer that the same size project will take exponentially longer? Yup, workin on number 3 before I figured this bit of news out. Duh?
On to exhibit 2
This weeks effort is exhibit 3 and my WIP weds

~Gullible Girl~ Nikki isn't the brightest crayon in the box. Her favorite books have lots of pictures and usually end with -zine. Not to say she is slow, she just takes awhile to put things together. Even if her heart is in the right place.
~Las Vegas~ Nikki was born and raised there. Maybe you know her, seen a magic show or two, or dealt with her on a more personal level. Just remember, what happened in Vegas stays in Vegas.
~Prostitute~ Nikki has a large client list and also a larger waiting list. She might not be the most expensive girl in Prospect, but being more affordable means more customers to attend to.
~Stage Hand~ Nikki used to be a magician's assistant. Not that she believes in magic. Smoke and mirrors with a little bit of cleavage. Easy job.
1) I'm not here for TS. Sure Nikki is a prostitute, but the /RP/ I'm looking for, is the stigma of a woman trying to overcome her profession.
2) Let's be adults. If TS does happen, be an adult about it. Not looking for drama. Very quick way for me to ignore you in the future.
3) OOC Mask. I believe in it. Is Nikki mortal or something else? Who knows, discover IC if you really want, not via my wiki.

In The News
His Eminence Archbishop Demetrios awarded Ted Apostoleris the Gold Medal of St. Paul. The Gold Medal of St. Paul is the highest honor a layperson can receive in the Greek Orthodox faith. It is also very unusual that this award was made at the Chapel of St. Paul located in the Archdiocese facility in New York.
His Eminence elected to bestow this honor because of the services and contribution to the Greek Archdiocese of America where he has significantly reduced their cost for telecommunication and computer network services. His Eminence cited that the Archdiocese of America has been positioned to save $13,000 monthly in reduced costs and has saved the combined savings of over $600,000 for the Archdiocese of America since 1995.
He noted that Ted is rebuilding the infrastructure for telephone, computers networking, and Internet ministries as well as positioned the Archdiocese to be in the next generation of technology. He also cited that Ted has begun connecting the Archdiocese for these services to St. Basil's Academy, and to Hellenic College.
In the future, Ted will be assisting the Archdiocese in connecting all of the Diocesan locations with telephone/computers networking and video conferencing over one IP network throughout the United States to the Archdiocese of America.

Regarding this night, in a Hadith reported by Anas (R.A.) in Durrul Manthoor, Rasulullah (pbuh) is reported to have said: "Laylatul Qadr was granted to this Ummah (of mine) and not to any other Ummah before this."
As regards the reason for the granting of Laylatul Qadr, various views are held. According to some Ahãdith, one reason is given thus:
Rasulullah (pbuh) used to ponder over the longer lives of peoples of the past ages and when comparing them with much shorter lives of this Ummah, he became greatly saddened, because if his Ummah wished to compete with the people before them, then because of their shorter lives, it would be impossible for them to either emulate or surpass the previous Ummahs in the doing righteous deeds. Therefore, Allah in His Infinite Mercy granted them this night of great blessings. This means that, if any fortunate person of this Ummah during his life-time spends ten such nights in worship of his Maker, he would have gained the reward of (Ibãdah) worship for eight hundred and thirty three years and even more.
Another report states that Rasulullah (pbuh) once related to the Sahãbah the story of a very righteous man from among the Bani Isra'il, who spent one thousand months in Jihãd. On hearing this the Sahãbah enviously felt that they could not attain the same reward, whereupon Allah granted them this Night (of power).
There are other reports too, explaining the origin of the night of power. But no matter which of these are accepted, the important fact remains that Allah has granted us this night as a great favour and how fortunate are those who have never missed worship in this night.
It is reported from Ãyesha (R.A.): "I said ; O Rasulullah (pbuh), when I find myself in Laylatul Qadr, what shall I say?" Rasulullah (pbuh) replied; Say:
"O Allah, You are the One who grants pardon for sins, You love to forgive, thus forgive me."
On such occasions, our pious predecessors had three standard practices.
1. Zikr
2. Tilãwat (recitation) of the Qur'ãn
3. Nafl Salãh
[Malfoozãt Page 513. Ifãzãtul-Yaumiyah]
Muslims must ask for their various permissible needs and also remember the Muslim Ummah.
We request each reader to remember Islãmic Tarbiyah Academy too on this night.
Rasulullah (pbuh) said:
"Whosoever was deprived of this night was indeed deprived of good in totality. None is deprived of its blessings except a totally wretched souls." [Ibn Mãjah]

Hi again sommer2009!
In the history of this forum, the users have compiled a list of Tried and True recipes. The index is here:
and if you click on "Cake" there are a couple of good chocolate cake recipes. Many folks really like the SueB Moist Chocolate Cake-- I haven't tried it, but I'm confident that it is good. I would skip the espresso powder in the frosting for a kiddie party-- unless you are the aunt and will be sending the kids home right after the party.
For my 5-year-old's birthday, I made the Emergency Blender Cupcakes, which are from "The Weekend Baker" by Abigail Dodge. The cupcake recipe is also under the cake link. Hope that helps!
P.S. We had a lot of fun with the cupcakes-- I frosted them in simple pastel colors and the kids each got to decorate two cupcakes, one to eat and one to take home. I put out a big array of decorations (sprinkles, sugars, small candies) in custard cups. For most kids, it became an architectural challenge to see how much stuff they could fit on a cupcake. To send the cupcake home, I rigged up paper cup carriers for transport-- let me know if you would like the details.

Nashville Write + Show
Happy Monday everybody! I hope you're having a fantastic day. This past week I had a write with my friend Britney Monroe (@britneymonroe) and a show at Belcourt Taps in Nashville!
Before going to Britney's, I stopped for lunch at a cute restaurant in Hillsboro called McDoogle's. I got a salad with grilled chicken and it was sooo good.
Then it was off to Britney's for the write.
I showed up at Britney's house with my guitar, notepad, phone and my laptop. The first thing I do before I start any write is pull out my phone and check my "hook book" page in my notes app. A hook is basically a title or the main line in the song. The hook is the backbone for the song. I also already have a melody in my head (I always have one going constantly) and I usually try to record that in my voice memos. Most of the time when a writer is writing with you, you'll get the question "Are you a lyrical or melody writer?" Personally me... I always have the melody before the lyrics. Melodies always help me set the tone of the song.
Usually the writer and I will just talk about life for the first 20 minutes of the write. How they are doing, what's been going on in their life, etc;
Typically my writes with Britany always start off by talking about... you guessed it... relationships. (whoop!) Boyfriends, ex boyfriends, guys that we would like to be our boyfriends, (lol) and so on.
So recently Britney had broken up with this guy that was not very clear about the breakup. He lied to Britney about where he was at and who he was with... and (you get where this is going.) Obiviuosly that was a really stupid move on the guy's part. Eventually, they broke up but the guy still had one thing of her's....... her car key. AND HE KEPT IT. He then would not respond to her texts or anything about the key. This went on for weeks. The car key was a fob too (which is an ELECTRIC car key) and they are extremely expensive to replace. Britney (and also me) were P. Oed.
So of course... what are we going to do about the situation? WRITE A FREAKING SONG ABOUT YOU, BOY, WHO STEALS CAR KEYS.
He got what he deserved.
Eventually Britney was able to get in touch with his roommate and she finally got the key back from him, but it was so silly how he kept it!
We actually wound up writing half of the song that day and are in the process of finishing it. The song is titled "GAME OVER." It is such a cute, funny song and every line is personal and raw about this boy who was NOT making good decisions in the relationship.
I am hoping to put the song on Sound Cloud soon so you guys can go and take a listen!
I learned 3 things in that write that day:
1.) always just make a clean break in the relationship (because things can get messy.)
2.) Britany Monroe is one of the best singers in Nashville, HANDS DOWN.
3.) Don't steal car keys from people.
I also had a show at Belcourt Taps with Rachel Dixon and Kiera Stella! (@racheldixonmusic) (@kiera.stella)
We had so much fun and Belcourt is one of my favorite places to play in Nash.
It was such a fun week! Next Monday I'll be featuring a blog post about my favorite watch company, Jord Watches. I've teamed up with the company so ya'll can win some goodies and see what the product is all about!! Be looking out for it!
Thanks for reading, see you next Monday<3

Probability courses in SMA
(last modified 18.01.2016)
Contact person: Professor Robert Dalang
Bachelor (3rd semester):
- Probabilités
Bachelor (5th and 6th semesters):
- Processus stochastiques appliqués
- Martingales et applications
- Probability Theory
- Théorie du calcul stochastique
- Martingales in Financial Mathematics
- Contrôle stochastique
- Lattice models
- Random graphs
- Statistical mechanics and Gibbs measures
Description :
All students take the 3rd semester course "Probabilités" during the 3rd semester.
Among the optional courses, the course "Probability theory" is a core course, which can be taken already in the 5th semester. This is a prerequisite for studying advanced probability.
The courses "Processus stochastiques appliquées" and "Martingales et Applications" build on the 3rd semester course "Probabilités" and introduce important concepts related to the evolution of random phenomena over time. The first course emphasizes Markov chains and is particularly useful for students interested in statistics and Monte-Carlo methods. The second one studies discrete-time martingales and Brownian motion. Both courses prepare for further study of stochastic processes at the Master level, such as "Lattice Models", "Théorie du calcul stochastique" and "Martingales in Financial Mathematics".
The course "Théorie du calcul stochastique" is a first rigorous introduction to stochastic calculus for mathematics students. It has "Probability theory" as a prerequisite, though this course can be taken concurrently. It is a prerequisite for "Martingales in Financial Mathematics" and "Contrôle stochastique".
"Martingales in Financial Mathematics" applies martingale methods and stochastic calculus in the context of mathematical finance. It has "Théorie du calcul stochastique" as a prerequisite. This course aims at introducing mathematics students to the main mathematical ideas that are used in modern financial mathematics. Students who would like to develop a significant background in financial mathematics should also consider taking statistics courses such as "Time Series" or "Quantitative Risk Management", as well as courses in Financial Engineering, such as "Fixed income analysis", "Financial econometrics" or "Advanced derivatives".
The next three courses are taught from time to time:
"Contrôle stochastique" is a first course in stochastic optimization and stochastic control in discrete and continuous time. It has "Théorie du calcul stochastique" as a prerequisite.
"Lattice models" studies important discrete-time random processes, such as random walks and percolation.
"Random graphs" studies properties of large graphs that are constructed using random mechanisms.
Some other Math courses related to probability:
All the courses in statistics are related to probability.
The course "Numerical integration of stochastic differential equations" studies numerical methods for approximating stochastic processes. It has "Probabilités" and Numerical Analysis as prerequisites.
The course "Computational finance" presents numerical methods used in financial applications. Some background in stochastic processes and stochastic calculus are prerequisites.
The course "Probabilistic method" explores the use of randomness in discrete mathematics. It has "Probabilités" as a prerequisite.

Picking up where our last blog left off, Kendall Jenner's alleged stalker, Shavaughn McKenzie, has been in jail since his August arrest after he followed Kendall Jenner to her personal residence without her consent. Based on Thursday's ruling, Kendall Jenner, and some of her celebrity friends, now have a serious reason to be worried.
Mr. McKenzie was found guilty of trespass, and served jail time for his offense. On Thursday, Mr. McKenzie's legal team achieved another milestone in their case, by getting Mr. McKenzie out of any more jail time. With the help of McKenzie's mother, Mr. McKenzie's legal team compelled the Superior Court Judge to lodge that Mr. McKenzie's jail time was served, and as such the Judge granted Kendall Jenner a Five (5) year restraining order against him. The reason why the Judge allowed Mr. McKenzie to be released from jail simply revolved around a commonly used defense in criminal matters, insanity.
Mr. McKenzie's mother pleaded to the Superior Court Judge that "she would promise to fly Shavaughn back home to Virginia in order to seek psychiatric treatment." The defense of insanity in California courts indicates that an individual cannot be found guilty of a crime IF they were "insane" when the crime was committed. Under insanity defense law, the individual is considered "legally insane" if the individual 1) Did not understand the nature of your criminal act, OR 2) Did not understand that what you were doing was morally wrong. Below is a quick explanation on each element.
Understand Nature of Act
Simply put, if the Defendant can prove to the state that they did not understand what they were doing, or the nature of their conduct, by reason of mental deficiency, they will be considered insane under California law.
Did Not Understand Act Was Morally Wrong
Again, if the Defendant can show, by the preponderance of the evidence, that due to their metal inefficiencies they did not see or hold their conduct as "morally wrong" per a reasonable person standard in society, they will be found not guilty by reason of insanity under California law.
Furthermore, this defense can be pled at any junction of litigation, including the arraignment hearing. Insanity defenses will require the Defendant to prove the validity of their defense, including that the defense "more likely than not that the individual was legally insane when the actual crime was committed." If successful, the Defendant will not be guilty by reason of Insanity, and the individual will be permitted to stay in a mental facility instead of jail or prison.
Here, since Mr. McKenzie already served jail time for his trespassing offense, his mother's plead to the Judge was successful, as the purpose of the defense is to ensure the Defendant obtains proper medical attention in order to be fully intergraded into society. Sadly, for Kendall Jenner, and potentially other individuals to face this situation, the real deterring factor of this type of behavior occurring again likely is imprisonment.

Tips To Master The Customer Service On Mobile
People rushing out towards mobile websites, Google ranking them up, users going gaga, meanwhile, all the effort you have put to get a killer mobile design and usability will be going in vain just because you do not optimize your customer service content and tools. According to a recent study, 63 percent of US adults use mobile for internet surfing several times a month, with a huge population, i-e., and 90% reporting a bad website experience.
Here are some tips to ensure your customers can access all the contact information and get the much-needed information effortlessly on the mobile.
1. Make sure your web content and media is optimized for mobile
What's new in that? Everybody knows that, right? However, did you know many of the companies do not get the mobile-friendly design for service content pages? No matter how much tests you conduct to see if your website looks good across popular devices and is properly formatted if the web content is not optimized for mobile then it is of no use.
2. Links should be noticeable
Website users are being smarter; they know they need to skim the menu for trigger words in order to get what they want. Yet, there is no standard convention for the customer service. You can label the live chat links as Customer Care, Customer Support, Live Chat, or even place it somewhere near "Contact Us."
On the desktop sites, the links to customer service are usually placed on the top right or bottom right section of the website. While using the mobile version of a website, placing the service links in global menus will make them less obvious.
One of the main problem with mobile websites is that links to live chat or customer service are mixed up with other content like "shop by brand" "email sign up," "gift cards," and even "Follow us" on the social media.
3. Make web links prone to tap
As claimed by the Baymard Institute, the best recommendation is to let a minimum "hit area" of 7 by 7 pixels near any click-friendly elements in your mobile design for ensuring no unpleasant surprises.
4. Support mobile live chat
Though 42 percent of customers have used live chat via mobile, much to the surprise, most mobile commerce websites are not offering live chat.
Allow your customers to discover the hours of live chat availability, including time zone. (Use GeoIP to provide the right help version with the correct time zone of user).
5. Track mobile service queries
To get a better understanding of your omnichannel customer service performance, it is recommended to identify mobile users that ask for your help. One advantage of tracking mobile inquiries is recognizing usability issues according to the mobile site, besides properly attributing the mobile website to sales that turn into offline.
6. Offer eye-catching help options in checkout
Make customer service options discover-able in navigation menus. Provoke a notch by forestalling when and where your mobile website's visitors may need specific service, and use a call-to-action, judiciously. Many live chat software provides a seamless live chat integration on responsive websites.
The most important thing here is that you need to ensure that your customer service content helps the mobile customer, in all possible ways when s/he visits your website. In addition, try to keep your content intuitive just where and when your customer needs it.

Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the LORD he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.
—Deuteronomy 4:39
To say that God is sovereign is to say that He is supreme over all things, that there is no one above Him, that He is absolute Lord over creation. It is to say that His Lordship over creation means that there is nothing out of His control, nothing that God hasn't foreseen and planned….
God's sovereignty logically implies His absolute freedom to do all that He wills to do. God's sovereignty does not mean that He can do anything, but it means He can do anything that He wills to do. The sovereignty of God and the will of God are bound up together. The sovereignty of God does not mean that God can lie, for God does not will to lie. God is truth and therefore God cannot lie, for He wills not to lie. God cannot break a promise, because to break a promise would be to violate His nature, and God does not will to violate His nature.
Therefore it is silly to say that God can do anything. But it is scriptural to say that God can do anything He wills to do. God is absolutely free—no one can compel Him, no one can hinder Him, no one can stop Him. God has freedom to do as He pleases—always, everywhere and forever. AOGII144-145
God in heaven above and on the earth beneath, I willingly give You my life; take it and sovereignly do whatever You will to do with it. Amen [1]
39–40 Based on all the marvelous things the Lord has done for them already, God's children are exhorted to acknowledge his utter uniqueness and obey his commands with the result that this generation and all future generations will experience God's abundant blessings. Moses challenges his fellow Israelites to "take to heart" or internalize the fact that Yahweh is the universal sovereign ("in heaven above and on the earth below") and the only sovereign ("there is no other"). In the light of that theological reality, they should gladly obey his commands. Moses affirms that Israel's genuine obedience to God's commands will occasion long tenure in the land (and continued enjoyment of covenantal blessings).
As seen in 4:1 (see comments there), Moses is not simply holding before Israel the hope of long tenure in the Promised Land as a bribe or incentive. Granted, Israel's obedience or disobedience to God's covenantal expectations did affect whether they would remain in the Land of Promise. Nevertheless, Yahweh intended that Canaan would serve as a platform for his people to demonstrate his greatness to the surrounding world. God offered them the opportunity to live lives that exalt his greatness before the world around them for the undetermined future.[2]
4:37–39 Juxtaposed with God's universal sovereignty is his love of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (see notes on 1:8; 4:31). loved. A key, and unique, theme of Deuteronomy is the love of God for the patriarchs (here and 10:15), or for his people in general (5:10; 7:9, 12–13; 23:5), and Israel's reciprocal love for God (6:5; 7:9; 10:12; 11:1, 13, 22; 13:3; 19:9; 30:6, 16, 20). as it is this day. See note on 2:30. know … and lay it to your heart. Deuteronomy is constantly concerned with the state of Israel's heart (see 6:4–5; 7:17; 8:2, 17; 9:4; 10:16).[3]
4:39–40. In light of such electing grace and such unique revelation the Israelites were to acknowledge that the Lord is God alone (cf. v. 35) and to keep His decrees and commands. Only in doing these two things would the Israelites find prosperity and long life in the land (cf. 5:33; 6:2). The words so that it may go well with you occur eight times in this book, undoubtedly to emphasize this motive for obedience (4:40; 5:16; 6:3, 18; 12:25, 28; 19:13; 22:7). The idea that righteousness lengthens life and sin shortens it is common in the Old Testament (Prov. 3:1–2, 16; 10:27).[4]
4:39 God in heaven … there is no other: Since no other God was Creator, Lord of history, Teacher, and the Lover of His people, Israel had to respond to God alone. This is a major theme of Deuteronomy and of the prophets. The incomparability of Yahweh is also the heart of the basic creed of Israel, the "Shema" (6:4).[5]

Happy Monday, Friends! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
I'm excited to get back to my Monthly Monday Series this Monday to kick off June. Can we take a moment to to talk about the fact that it's already June?? That means I'm officially 30! I wasn't able to get all of my birthday blog posts up before my birthday so look for those later this month. It's been awhile since I've done one of these Monthly Monday posts so this one is jam packed with things I've been loving lately. Something I'm particularly excited about in this post is that not everything I've included is just "things." There are people, and podcasts, and TV shows that I'm also loving making this post a little bit of this and a little bit of that.
One: Alyssa Rosenheck
- First off, Alyssa's photography is amazing! She's an Architectural Photographer and Stylist that I basically have a girl crush on. I also love her blog, The New Southern! What really drew me to her was when I first watched her InstaStories was how much she radiates calm, peacefulness, love, and light. You can't help but be drawn to her after watching an InstaStories or two. Her mantra is "love +light" and I love that!
Two: Birkenstocks
- I made fun or my friend for buying these because I actually think they are not the cutest sandal around town. My oh my have the tables turned though and she'll never let me forget it. I bought my own pair of Birkenstocks and I basically live in them now. They are sooooo comfortable and I've never worn such a supportive shoe let alone sandal. Guess the joke is on me now!
Three: Murchinson-Hume Turkish Towels
- I love turkish towel but these ones from Murchison Hume are on a whole new level. You could actually use these as a throw blanket (which I've been doing). I can't get over the quality and thickness of them.
Four: Yes Way Rosé
- I mean…..I had to buy this when I saw it at Target because #yeswayrosé and what can I say, I'm #basic. It's now one of my favorite bottles of wine because it's so light and crisp. Perfect for summer!
Five: Nathan Turner's I Love California
- I love Nathan Turner's interiors so when I saw he was coming out with a book I knew I had to have it. Especially when the book is all about California living.
- Let's just say the only thing that actually works from this salt lamp is the placebo effect. I bought it because I read it could help allergies and asthma but I don't actually think it does anything. Honestly, it's just a pretty home decor piece that I do think makes me feel a little calmer when it's on because of the pretty glow.
Seven: Anthropologie Palm Leaf Dish
- I love a good inexpensive Anthropologie home decor find like this palm dish. You can see how I styled mine in this post here.
Eight: Old Navy Light Weight Scarf
- Old Navy always has such great printed scarfs for such a great price point. I've been wearing this one on repeat the last few weeks and am thinking of purchasing a few more fun prints.
Nine: Southern Charm
- If you know me you know that I'm obsessed with all The Real Housewives series. I seriously love them all but my favorite Bravo series is actually Southern Charm. I've always been obsessed with all things southern, I've always loved reality TV, and I'm currently obsessed with all things Charleston, making Southern Charm the perfect show. Also, Cameran Eubanks is another girl crush of mine because she is freaking hilarious and so real, not to mention gorgeous!
Ten: Pennington Blue Ceramic Nantucket Pot
- You all know about my urban garden at this point and these french blue pots are the newest addition. They are the most perfect shade of blue (IMO) and I now have them outside and around the inside of the apartment with house plants.
Eleven: Opal House Rattan Tray
- It's amazing that I didn't break the bank when this new collection launched because there are so many great pieces I love. I knew this tray was the one thing I "had" to have. I've been making little changes to our bedroom and this tray is one of them now sitting pretty on the dresser.
Twelve: "Make Your Bed"
- I feel like I've talked about this speech before because I think it's so good. When I saw it came out in a book I wanted to snag myself a copy. I read the whole thing in less than an hour (it's a super easy read). If you haven't watched the speech, you can see it here. I will tell you that my life instantly feels more pulled together the second I finish making my bed. If the bed isn't made I'm usually a hot mess express that day.
Thirteen: Elsie Green
- I recently stumbled upon this shop via Instagram (isn't that how everyone finds anything and everything these days?!) and found they have an actual store front not too far from where I live. Let me tell you, it is what vintage french dreams are made of. There are so many beautiful vintage french finds at the store along with newer finds like organic cotton blankets that I can't get enough of. Besides having some of the best finds, it's styled to perfection and bursting with eye candy around every corner. If you aren't local, don't worry, you can shop online too! This bowl is one of my favorite finds, it's over 100+ years old.
Fourteen: L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara
- I am a mascara junkie…I'm always buying and trying every brand out there. It never fails though, I always come back to my L'Oreal Double Extend Mascara, it's better than all the designer brands out there and only $10. I actually think L'Oreal is one of the best drugstore makeup brands, anyone else agree? Their new telescopic mascara is so good and makes your lashes reach a whole new level. If there was a waterproof version of this it would be my #1 but because I always have runny eyes with my allergies I need something that doesn't smear as easy as this one.
Fifteen: Megan Ann McFarland Style and Design
- Another Instagram find and Charleston obession of mine. I loveeeeeeee Megan's design style. Everything is blush, blue, and filled with rattan. Basically whenever we buy a home, it's going to look like Megan designed it because I can't get enough of her designs. She also has the most darling home in Downtown Charleston that I love down to the darling pink door and palm leaf knocker.
Sixteen: Custom Cocktail Napkins
- I love just about everything in Emily McCarthy's shop! I was getting tired of constantly using paper towels as napkins at dinner but don't want the hassle of washing cloth napkins every night. These personalized napkins were the perfect solution and are cute enough to cute out as kitchen table decor.
Seventeen: The Ordinary Retinoid
- If you haven't tried this brand yet, then you should! It's high-quality products at drugstore prices. My friend recommended the retinoid serum and I can't say enough good things about. It's under $10, doesn't irritate my skin, and has smoothed it so much while also helping to prevent breakouts.
Eighteen: Emily Ley Large Notepad
- I'm a sucker for any and every notepad or notebook! I bought this one when I purchased my Simplfied planner and I love it. The size is perfect for my large handwriting and the design is just the cutest and matches my planner perfectly
Nineteen: Dynasty
- There are two television networks that I watch religiously, Bravo (duh!) and The CW. I've loved CW since it was the WB back in the day when the big shows were Dawson's Creek and 7th Heaven. I still binge watch Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill, and Hart of Dixie (no shame here). I recently just watched their new show, Dynasty. It's a remake of the original but with the perfect CW touch. I can't get enough of it!
Twenty: Opal House Door Mat
- Let's face it, I love everything in the Opal House collection! This doormat matches my patio decor perfectly and was such a great price point. I actually needed a doormat for our back door to help keep dirt and water out of the apartment from my garden.
Twenty One: KJP Bracelet
- I'm obsessed with Kiel James Patrick and his family, they are seriously the cutest! I also love their clothing brand. When I saw their jewelry in person at a darling little shop in Charleston I knew I had to have this bracelet. I wear it almost everyday and the quality is great.
Twenty Two: California Print
- I think this print is so cute and would love to hang it in the entry way above our key hangers. I loveeee the way Megan McFarland has hers matted in pink and would love to do the same.
Twenty Three: Marvis Tooth Paste
- Let's just call this one like it is…Marvis is a bougie a** toothpaste. HOWEVER, the taste is the best tasting toothpaste I've ever tried and both Ryan and I are addicted to it. I was in line at Anthropologie and saw this cute tube and thought I'd give it try since we were out of toothpaste and now I don't think I'll ever look back.
Twenty Four: Get Real Podcast
- This has become one of my favorite podcasts to listen to! Caroline has the best personality and the cutest accent. Her podcast features episodes with some of my absolute favorite country stars and influencers so I'm not surprised I love it as much as I do.
There ya have it, folks! The things I've been loving the last two months that I hope you all love too! Here's to having a wonderful and productive week! I'm on vacation this week to celebrate my 30th birthday and then my besties bachelorette party so be sure to follow along in real-time over on Instagram!

Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio Nero Edizione packs have gone dark
During the 2018 New York International Auto Show, Alfa Romeo brought in the special edition models of the Giulia and the Stelvio. The Nero Edizione packages will now give the sedan and SUV a dark makeover to make them look a bit more stylish. Only the models with the 2.0 liter turbocharged models with 280 horsepower (209 kilowatts) will exclusively be getting the said upgrades.
Both Nero Edizione models will come now be getting a Dark Miron (as Alfa Romeo calls it) finished grille surround. The same colour can be found on the mirror caps and exterior badges too. Shadowy trim surrounds the headlight bezels, while gloss black pieces surround the windows. Moreover, Alfa gave the wheel caps a new monotone badge, while the brake calipers come in black, red, or yellow. Later, there will be a set of dark exhaust tips that will join the package, but they will not be available when the package is first launched.
The special edition Giulia and Stelvio Nero Edizione get a number of individual upgrades as well. The Stelvio gets a Dark Miron applique on the roof rails and the rear fascia. Also, the SUV now sits on a set of 20-inch aluminum wheels in Dark Miron. The Giulia, on the other hand, has its own set of 19 inch wheels that are finished in the Dark Miron colour.Read the entire article Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio Nero Edizione packs have gone dark
Is the $80K starting price of 2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio reasonable?
The 2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrofoglio is known as the world's fastest SUV after proving itself lethal around the Nurburgring with a lap time of 7:51.7. Under its hood is a V6 engine that produces as much as 505 horsepower (376 kilowatts). And for a car this powerful to be in your garage, be ready to shell out a huge amount of money too - as the Stelvio Quadrofoglio has a starting price of $79,995 MSRP, excluding the $1,595 destination fee. This adds up to a total of $81,590.
With that price tag, we could definitely say that the Stelvio Quadrofoglio is not cheap. With that price, it actually is $38,000 more expensive than the regular Stelvio, which only comes out to be $41,995. But that is also because the standard Stelvio only carries a 2.0 liter engine that can carry out 280 horsepower (208 kilowatts). However, when looking at the prices of its closest rivals, we can say that it is competitively priced.
For instance, the 2018 Porsche Macan Turbo with Performance Package has a starting price of $87,495, but is also a bit less powerful by 65 horsepower (48 kilowatts) when comparing it with the Stelvio.Read the entire article Is the $80K starting price of 2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio reasonable?
Can the Lamborghini Urus beat Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio's Nurburgring SUV record?
Many automakers seem to always have the Nurburgring in the back of their heads when they build new cars. And a lot of them seem to be obsessed about making an attempt to break the record. Now, Lamborghini has decided to join the rest of these guys. It is not the first time for them to take their cars to the Green Hell. In fact, the Huracan Performante once took home the record around the Ring, before the Porsche 911 GT2 RS took over with a total of 6 minutes 47.3 seconds time.
Next spring, the Italian automaker plans to head back to the Green Hell, but with a different model this time - the Lamborghini Urus -- as it attempts to be the fastest SUV to lap the Nurburgring. At the time of this writing, it is the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio that holds the record time with 7 minutes and 51.7 seconds.
However, if you could remember, some people doubted its performance saying that the video had been edited to make it look like it finished that soon. Whether it is legitimate or not, that is still the same time the Urus has to beat to become the record holder.Read the entire article Can the Lamborghini Urus beat Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio's Nurburgring SUV record?
New Maserati SUV based on Alfa Romeo Stelvio set to arrive in 2020
Maserati's current focus is on developing a new model that is far from what people have been anticipating - the new GranTurismo and the production version of the Alfieri.
This is because today's trend is leaning towards SUVs more than sedans and other types of vehicles, and parent company Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is aware of that. This is why Sergio Marchionne announced that a Maserati SUV will be available in the market by 2020.
The still unnamed SUV will be positioned just below the Ghibli-based Levante, and it will be riding on the same Giorgio rear-wheel drive / all-wheel drive platform like that of the Alfa Romeo Stelvio, but with a major difference. Marchionne also mentioned that the new Maserati SUV might be receiving a unique powertrain, but he did not give any more details after. We are also aware that the company will soon be electrifying all their models, starting in 2019. Therefore, it is likely that the Maserati SUV will also be offered with a hybrid setup.Read the entire article New Maserati SUV based on Alfa Romeo Stelvio set to arrive in 2020
Just a few days ago, the guys behind Alfa Romeo were celebrating after getting a hold of the crown for being the fastest production SUV to lap the Nurburgring, after the Stelvio beat the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S' record.
Like many records set before it, there are those who question its veracity. In this case, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio took on the Green Hell, and finished in exactly 7 minutes 51.7 seconds. But we have been hearing things that there were a couple of issues in the video's editing.
The website Bridge to Gantry, was the first one to throw doubt into the record. They pointed out a number of editing issues that could prove it to be fake. This video contains the full 7 minutes 51.7 seconds run of the Alfa Romeo Stelvio. If you watch the video closely, the car appears to pass through the same location several times throughout the video. One particular example is the fact that the car passes the 2 kilometer sign twice right in the start of the video.Read the entire article Did Alfa Romeo cheat on the Stelvio's Nurburgring run?
The Porsche 911 GT2 RS has won its spot as the record holder for the Nurburgring when it comes to road-legal production cars. However, the Stuttgart based company has just lost the SUV crown to Alfa Romeo's Stelvio Quadrifoglio. It was Fabio Francia who drove the SUV around the Green Hell, and luckily, he did well on the challenging corners of the track. In case you don't know, Francia had taken the Giulia Quadrifoglio to the 'Ring, and is responsible for its record breaking lap time of 7 minutes 32 seconds.
Though the Stelvio's record is far from the Giulia's, and cannot match that of its more agile sedan sibling, its 7 minutes 51.7 seconds record is still quite impressive. Especially considering the fact that former record holders like the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S took another 8 seconds to go around the 'Ring. Furthermore, when Alfa Romeo introduced the Stelvio Quadrifoglio at last year's Los Angeles Auto Show, they said that the model would need 7:59 seconds to lap the Nurburgring. Surprisingly, the production version is even quicker than they expected.
The 2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio, the brand's first ever SUV, is 2.0 inches longer and 8.9 inches taller than the Giulia, with 2.5 inches more ground clearance. Under the hood is the same 2.0 liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine, borrowed from the Giulia. It has 280 horsepower and 306 pound-feet of torque. As for performance, the company claims that it can do the 60 mile per hour sprint in 5.4 seconds, before continuing to a top speed of 144 miles per hour. These numbers are quite impressive compared to other 2.0 liter powered SUVs. The engine will be paired with an eight-speed automatic that gives power to the all wheel drive.Read the entire article Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio steals SUV record away from Porsche Cayenne Turbo S at Nurburgring
Those who know of Jeremy Clarkson would say that it's difficult to persuade him once he has formed his opinions. In fact, that may be an understatement for many. Another thing that we know about him is that he is not a big fan of SUVs, or that genre in general, as he thinks that it is a waste of money. However, the general public doesn't seem to agree with him, and still go for SUVs. To add to that, more and more people are shifting to SUVs more than anything else.
Clarkson expressed this as he wrote on his latest article on Sunday Times: "I loathe all the current crop of so-called SUVs, except those I dislike intensely". He finds it "idiotic" driving around a car that is slower, pricier, and consumes more fuel than a saloon or an estate. This guy has so much angst.
But recently, Alfa Romeo invited the guy to head over to Tuscany to test drive the new Stelvio. Naturally, Clarkson already had a negative outlook on this, as it was an SUV made by Alfa Romeo, and even compared it to Armani deciding to make carrier bags. A weird metaphor but we get it.Read the entire article SUV-hating Jeremy Clarkson ends up liking the Alfa Romeo Stelvio
Alfa Romeo Stelvio is the Italian-American automaker's current bid to extract a five-figure amount out of the check books of consumers who like to cruise around in style with Giorgio-backed grace, and those who are highly interested to know how much it costs to acquire such vehicle then you are in luck. FCA North America recently revealed the price tag for both Stelvio and Stelvio Ti, and automaker competitors might just be worried now.
The Italian-American automaker is finally taking part in the crossover buzz in the United States by unveiling the Stelvio this summer. The top of the tier Quadrifoglio will sit beside the Stelvio at a later time, but the standard trim will sell for about $42,990 (plus $995 destination) when arriving at selected dealers. Its mid-range counterpart, the Stelvio Ti will bear a price tag of around $44,990. The standard Stelvio and Ti's powertrain is a 2.0 L turbocharged 4 cylinder that produces around 280hp (209 kW) and 306 lb-ft (415 Newton-meters) of torque.
The output will be delivered via an 8-speed automatic gearbox to the front and rear wheels. The automotive company claimed that the new crossover can go up to 60 miles per hour (97 km per hour) in just 5.4 seconds and can clinch a top speed of about 144 mph (232 kph). But don't be fooled, as the low-range Stelvio have some nifty features including Alfa DNA drive mode selector, leather interior, backup camera, rear parking sensors, bi-xenon headlamps with LE daytime running light, LED tail lamps, passive entry care of Keyless Go, power liftgate, power hatch, and a Formula One inspired flat bottom steering wheel with dedicated push button start to top it all.Read the entire article 2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio is set to arrive this summer, price starts at $42,990
There are a lot of reasons to be excited for the 2017 New York Auto Show this week. The reasons range from Jeep's most powerful SUV, to Dodge's SRT Demon, and many others.
After Alfa Romeo introduced the range-topping Stelvio Quadrifoglio at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the company decided it would release the standard version of the crossover at the upcoming New York Auto Show.
The company promises that even the base model will offer excellent performance. With only an eight-speed automatic gearbox, the all wheel drive has the ability to send 60 percent of the torque to the front wheels when extra traction is needed. Both the Stelvio and Stelvio Ti will have a 2.0 liter turbocharged four-cylinder that can yield 280 horsepower (209 kilowatts) and 306 pound-feet (415 Newton-metres) of torque. In just 5.4 seconds, both vehicles can speed up to 60 miles per hour (97 kilometres per hour), and have a top speed of 144 miles per hour (232 kilometres per hour). The range topping model, on the other hand, has a 505 horsepower 2.9 liter twin turbo V6 engine and can hit 60 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds, with a top speed of 177 mph.Read the entire article 2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio base model will make its debut in New York
If you are wondering why this Alfa Romeo SUV being shown at the 2017 Chicago Auto Show looks so familiar, wonder no more. Well, it is because it is identical to the Alfa Romeo Stelvio SUV that was unveiled by the Italian carmaker at the 2016 Los Angeles Auto Show.
When we say these models are identical, we mean that they are the same. While Alfa Romeo showed both the base and higher-end versions of the Stelvio in LA, the one shown in Chicago is only the performance variant. Simply put, the version being shown at 2017 Chicago Auto Show sits at the top of the range of the Stelvio SUV model. Welcome, the dynamics-focused Stelvio QV or Stelvio Quadrifoglio.
As far as the looks of the Alfa Romeo Stelvio is concerned, it might be easier to describe this SUV as the taller and more practical version of the Alfa Romeo Giulia sedan. This shouldn't surprise us since the Stelvio SUV has essentially adopted the design language found in the Giulia sedan. The Stelvio also features flowing headlights, muscular wings and a large triangular grille – as found on the Giulia sedan.Read the entire article Alfa Romeo displays 510 hp Stelvio Quadrifoglio SUV at 2017 Chicago Auto Show
The new Stelvio from Alfa Romeo was recently presented to the public during the 2016 Los Angeles Auto Show. And with that, X-Tomi Design quickly came out with its very own rendering, albeit a little controversial, and dubbing it as the Stelvio Spider.
From the name, it is safe to assume that the roof of the Stelvio was removed and it presents itself as a possible challenger to the Range Rover Evoque Convertible. While FCA has no plans on actually making such a version, it would certainly be interesting to see how Range Rover would react if the project is realized.
When it was first unveiled during the LA show, people were excited as this marked the first time Alfa Romeo released a SUV. Powering this model is the same engine inside the Giulia Quadrifoglio which is the twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter V6 engine. Total output is at 505 hp with peak torque of 443 lb-ft. With this, the Stelvio attains a maximum speed of 177 mph with acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in 3.90 seconds.Read the entire article Alfa Romeo Stelvio Spider rendered, we can't say we hate it!
Not a few have been expecting Alfa Romeo to offer a sports utility vehicle. In fact, it has been over a decade since people started hoping that Alfa Romeo would develop and produce an SUV, when the Italian carmaker unveiled the Kamal SUV concept in 2003. Now, the long wait is over as Alfa Romeo is unveiling its own SUV at the 2016 Los Angeles Auto Show – the new 2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio.
While it took Alfa Romeo a lot of effort to build the new Stelvio SUV, it is far easier to describe it as a more practical yet taller version of the Alfa Romeo Giulia sedan. A quick look at both Alfa Romeo vehicles would make onlookers conclude that the Stelvio appears similar to the Giulia sedan. This means that the Stelvio SUV has adopted the design language found in the Giulia sedan.
But the similarities do not end there. For instance, the interior of the new Stelvio is comparable to the cabin of the Giulia, with a couple of tweaks though. Stelvio also features a flat-bottomed steering wheel with paddle shifters, climate controls, an infotainment system compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as well as Alfa Romeo's signature selector knob and second rotary dial in the center console. In addition, the new Alfa Romeo Stelvio SUV is underpinned by the same platform that underpins the Giulia sedan – the new Giorgio vehicle architecture developed by parent FCA.Read the entire article Alfa Romeo is taking the wraps off new Stelvio SUV at 2016 LA Auto Show

Few gardening jobs leave you with the same satisfaction as a beautifully cut, perfectly striped lawn. If it's something you've always wanted to try, but you're not sure how it works, then you're in the right place! Here at the Green Reaper we're the experts in all things lawn related, so follow our guide to create the perfect piece of garden artwork.
Getting Your Equipment Ready
First things first - equipment. Whether you're striping a compact back garden or a larger field, you'll need a good quality mower. Sharp blades and a clean cut will mean your edges are neater, enhancing the overall effect, and it'll mean you get the job done faster too. Hover mowers are harder to use for striping, as it can be more difficult to keep them in a perfectly straight line, but with a little effort most lawn mowers will work. Creating the striped effect is all about the direction in which the grass leans - to the eye, the lawn will be a slightly different colour depending on whether the blades are pointing towards or away from you. As a result, you will need to use a roller after cutting, as this enhances the effect by making the blades lean further. Without a roller, you can usually create a faint stripe with many mowers, but it won't look as good as with one. If you're serious about striping, then rather than using a separate roller, opt for a rear roller lawn mower, or a tow-behind attachment for your ride-on. Choosing a cylinder mower rather than a rotary will also help to ensure that you get a really consistent lean direction.
On the subject of grass direction, when setting up your mower, be aware that cutting the grass too short will lessen the amount it can bend, reducing the effect. Generally you'll get the most dramatic effects above 3 inches in height.
Keep a Steady Hand
Once you've got your mower and roller ready, then the actual process is fairly simple. Follow one of the patterns below, mowing in nice, straight lines, and lifting the cutting deck when you reach the end of a row. It's often easiest to make your first pass line up against something you know to be perfectly straight such as a fence or wall. This way you can continually follow a straight line - it can be harder to stay on the straight and narrow than you'd think. It can help to look towards the other side of the lawn as you walk (or ride) rather than just in front of you.
If you have a separate roller, then you simply use this to go over the lines you've already made with the mower.
Pattern 1: The Classic Stripe
The most common pattern you'll find gracing the very best kept lawns is of course the classic stripe effect, which will look great in most people's' gardens. It's also fairly straightforward - if you can keep your mower in a straight line, then you can get this one looking great! The first thing to do is mow around the perimeter against the very edge of the grass. This way you'll be giving yourself a channel to walk around in. Then, get started by moving up and down or across in opposite directions. Take care when turning round at the end to avoid churning up the grass, but don't worry about going over into the channel you created, because the final step is to go over this channel again, creating a nice clean edge to the stripes.
Pattern 2: The Checkerboard
The checkerboard is for those who want to go one step further in demonstrating the quality of their lawn. With additional passes, you'll create a grid of squares with several different shades of green. This pattern requires you to be a little more accurate, as the eye will spot uneven squares quickly, but with a little practice you'll be getting it right in no time at all. Once you've created stripes in one direction, as with the classic stripe, do exactly the same but in the other direction. Again, once you've finished, go round the perimeter again to tidy up the edges.
Pattern 3: Diagonal Stripes & Checks
Diagonal striping is essentially the same as the classic stripe, but you're moving across at about 45 degrees from the perimeter rather than parallel or at 90 degrees. There are no special techniques to this one, but it can be harder to get a perfect diagonal going as you won't necessarily have anything to line up against. Take some time getting the very first stripe right, and the rest should follow suit.
You can also follow the same strategy as with the checkerboard to create diagonally oriented squares as seen in the pattern below.
Pattern 4: Obstacles
If you've got a tree, a planter or another obstacle in your lawn then you may be wondering how you incorporate it into your pattern. It's actually much easier than you'd think. As you reach the obstacle, mow up against and around it. Then on the next stripe when you're coming back the other way, mow as you normally would, but as you reach the pre-cut area where you went round the obstacle, carry on straight through it. This will create the illusion that the stripe has gone straight through the obstacle. You might need to go round the object more than once (as shown below) depending on the size and orientation, but as long as you carry on with straight stripes once you're past it, you'll achieve the desired effect.Take a look at the patterns to see how it's done.
Getting the Professional Look
Practice makes perfect when it comes to lawn striping, but if you want to get the very best look, then keeping your grass in healthy condition is essential. Making sure it's well fertilised, dethatched and aerated will go a long way to making your lawn look like it's being looked after by a pro. Fortunately, you can find out more about the importance of fertilising, dethatching and aerating right here in our Gardening Tips section.
Once you've mastered the patterns above, you may wish to move on to more complex designs such as diamonds and bullseyes. These require a steady hand and careful planning, but will be the envy of the neighbourhood!

Throughout the rest of the NBA season, WFNY will do a column every other week or so featuring some of the best talents in college basketball. It's not that the Cleveland Cavaliers are tanking (at least not yet), but at this point, it's clear that they will have one of the top picks in the 2019 NBA Draft unless something drastic changes. Throughout each Tank Watch, we will focus on either a specific draft prospect or multiple prospects if they so happen to be on the same college team.
His rival on Tobacco Road will get much of the attention and deservedly so, but North Carolina freshman Nassir Little's talent shouldn't go unnoticed, even if he is the fourth-fiddle among the freshmen in the area.
Averaging just 12.9 points and 5.3 rebounds per game may not be eye-opening necessarily, but it's his potential that forces many to think of all the things he can possibly do at the next level. The 6-foot-6, 220-pound forward has already shown off some of the things that he is best at, including being an aggressive scorer. He's shooting 55.4 percent from the field.
One of his biggest problems right now is that Roy Williams is playing just 20 minutes per game right now. While only playing half the game, the freshman is making the most of his opportunities. I would assume as the season goes on, he will see an increased role and receive more playing time, which will only give him more opportunities to improve on both ends of the floor. He's too good to not get more opportunities going forward.
Also, with an increased role, he will grow more comfortable offensively. Right now, while he's a good passer and can find open teammates, Little seems a little hesitant in the half court offense. Whether it's creating off the dribble, trying to cut down on turnovers, improving even more as a passer, or something else, the forward still has plenty of room to grow.
He's not only solid offensively, but with a 7-foot-1 wingspan and 8-foot-9 standing reach, the two-way forward is versatile defensively as well. He can explode quickly off the ground, allowing him to grab rebounds and block shots, all while being a force in the middle as well. He loves big-time assignments defensively and his quick feet along him to stay with quicker players and his size allows him to stay. If nothing else, his instincts and quickness make up for anything else.
Little's biggest problem seems to be his three-point shooting or lack thereof. Shooting 2.4 shots from beyond the arc per game this season, the freshman is making them at just a 29.4 percent clip. He must improve on that going forward, especially if he wants to jump any of the Duke freshman trio in the draft.
With that said, while he's not much of a three-point shooter, Little realizes a mismatch when he sees one. If a smaller player starts guarding him, the true freshman will immediately go down into the post and take advantage of the short
Whether it's his motor, potential, size, versatility, or the fact that he is a two-way player, Little is getting plenty of attention. He would get more if it weren't for the Duke trio, but then again, many players across college basketball are getting less attention than they deserve because of Zion Williamson, RJ Barrett, and Cam Reddish. The Blue Devils deserve it, but as a Cavs fan, it's important to take notice of other players as well.

Bright Skies
What a beautiful end to November! We had experienced three solid days of fog and I was beginning to despair of ever seeing the sun again. Then Sunday dawned: the mist had lifted and the sky was clear blue. Even better, I was off to archery!
It was wonderful to be outdoors. I was even too warm in my carefully put on layers as I sat, putting my bow together, bathed in sunshine.
It is exactly a year since I completed the beginners course and decided to become a member of the archery club. I'm so glad I did. It's such a friendly place and provides a wonderful setting to spend some time outside.
It was quite odd to see the new members setting up on the field, having just completed the course themselves, and thinking that that was me a year ago. I'm not sure I've improved greatly in that time, but that wasn't ever the main aim. Others certainly have improved, and I'm sure the new people will too. But I'm mainly enjoying mixing with new people, learning something new, and not dwelling on what I used to do.
I'm very pleased to say that I've been able to go to archery for three weeks on the trot – I think it's January since I last managed that! That is definitely the up-side to having had a quieter life recently.
However, I've been quite disappointed with my form week on week – instead of improving, I've got steadily worse! Experienced members have been really supportive, though. I think it's a known 'thing' that people put pressure on themselves and so get worse (apparently!). They also reassure me that the important thing is to enjoy coming. That it so true … though I'm going to try a heavier bow next time just to see if that helps!
I have started to notice that I'm less wowed by the feeling of happy fresh air tiredness that I get from archery or tandeming or gardening. Don't get me wrong, I really, really appreciate it, but it doesn't take me by surprise as much as it did initially, when it stirred a memory from some time before. Now, it is something that I experience relatively frequently and it feels more of a continuation of the outdoor part of my life, which had had a blip in it for a while.

I mean come on, who wouldn't be interested in this side business idea? Getting paid to take care of a cute pup sounds like a dream. The prevalence of unattended pets is another side effect of busy life, creating job business ideas and opportunities for people with time, patience, and affection to spare. Just check out DogVacay and Rover to see what I mean. Would the payout be worth it if you try? One person in New York earns $3,300 a month just pet-sitting for busy animal lovers as his side business idea.
Do you see eye to eye on the big picture? Arguments about the details are a given, and are important for getting things right. But not seeing eye to eye on the big picture, the real purpose of your business, can cause a split that may be irreparable. Be sure your team cares about the and buys into the purpose as much as you do.
Start part time and build this business carefully! Only buy items you are confident that you can sell relatively quickly for a good mark-up, and avoid getting stuck with slow moving inventory. To really succeed, develop deep expertise in a specialty and build a loyal customer base.
Consider every detail you will need to start your small business, from insurance and product supplies to marketing and property costs. Total each item and add at least 10% to the total to accommodate for surprises.
One-on-one sports coaching is the obvious play here. But you could set up sports clinics or sports camps. You could build up a business based on your expertise in a particular sport or you could offer more general fitness training for athletes of many sports. Often sports coaches get started with a part time job coaching a school sports team, which then leads to private coaching work.
Successfully starting a small business requires answering as many questions as possible before you open your doors rather than tackling problems after you've already launched. Researching the marketplace, writing a business plan and securing adequate capital are the basic steps to take when you start any small business.
Do I need workers' compensation insurance? Oregon requires almost all employers to carry workers' compensation insurance on their employees. If you employ workers in Oregon you probably need coverage. The Small Business Ombudsman also provides information and assistance to small businesses regarding workers' compensation insurance.

Your county or city will require a business license. The form takes minutes to fill out. Use your EIN instead of your Social Security number to identify your business (for privacy reasons if nothing else).
Women For Hire, the leading women's and diversity career recruitment specialist, offers comprehensive products and services exclusively for top employers in every field that support and enhance your company's commitment to diversity.
It's not very engaging, or mentally stimulating, but online surveys do pay out (a little), believe it or not. Just don't expect to make bank with this side business idea—I recommend combining it with another source of side income from this list of my best business ideas, and turning to surveys in your downtime when you need a little extra income.
With nearly 100,000 different custom extensions both free and paid available in Google Chrome's marketplace, there's a huge opportunity for creating a useful extension for people to use while browsing the web as a low effort business idea. One of my favorite Chrome extensions, Yet Another Mail Merge, which enables you to send bulk customized emails from within Gmail, gives you 50 free credits to send emails and gives you the chance to upgrade to a paid account to unlock more sending—a great upsell for the people who are getting value from the extension. Even free Chrome extensions like SVRF Tabs by SVRF, which replaces your new tab with stunning VR and 360º images, have the potential to bring in new users and eventually drive revenue for the startup's core business. Another fun example from a friend of mine, Kathleen Garvin, is Hide images with NOPE, a Chrome extension that hides images on the web pages you're browsing—to help eliminate distractions and keep you from seeing images (like those of certain politicians) that you may want to hide. This side business idea is particularly great because it also allows you to showcase your development skills—which can be put to work as an adjacent side business idea on a freelance basis alongside the Chrome extensions you launch.
While all companies are believed to be legit, they have only been soft checked, meaning that I did a quick search to see if there were any negative reviews or ratings. As is always the case, you need to do your due diligence (research the opportunity extensively) before enrolling in any business opportunity or applying for any job.
If you do the gardening or greenhouse ideas, you could also branch out to farmers' markets where you could sell the produce from your gardening efforts as well. People love supporting local growers and the quality of product at a farmers' market is much higher than supermarket fare.
Employed techies planning to earn some extra side income can leverage their software and hardware skills by offering home-based computer repair services as a business idea that engages their passion. If this rings a bell, you can start with a modest one-man tech team before envisioning a scaled-up operation as massive as Geek Squad. Remember, you can provide home service locally as a starting point to this business idea, as well as offer remote support through online messaging and video calling services before making your way into a retail setting.
If you think that starting a gym in a tiny town is a bad idea, think again. Just as the physical body comes in many different shapes and sizes, so do gyms and exercise studios. Though fitness businesses are great small town business opportunities, they are especially lucrative for locations where the weather is colder more months out of the year than not. It's also worth mentioning that the boutique fitness trend is red-hot at the moment and shows no signs of dying down. The appeal of massive gyms with rows and rows of weights and cardio equipment is losing popularity. Meaning, there is no better time than now to capitalize on the boutique fitness trend.

Those who have lost loved ones or need to move and sell many of their possessions often need help setting up estate sales. If you have some knowledge about antiques and selling used items, you may be able to offer your services in this capacity.
T-shirts, hats, phone cases, hoodies, skirts, tote bags, and more become canvases for your creativity. You can think up witty slogans for developers or references that resonate with cat owners—if there's passion and pride within a community, there's a potential t-shirt business you can start.

Selling and installing key control systems for hotels and other commercial businesses has a lot going for it. You are selling the latest technology, there is a strong service component, and your target market is businesses that can afford to spend a lot of money for this valuable service. For example, with a key control system a company can limit the hours that some employees may access their facility and if they let go an employee they can just de-activate their card, rather than having to call a locksmith to redo every lock.
My cousin worked for a jet ski rental firm in Sarasota Florida. Was that a fun job! Problem was that now and then when people panic on a jet ski, they will run it right into another boat! So, try to avoid renting jet skis in a busy boat anchorage and make sure your customers are confident operators before you set them loose!
Luckily, there are tons of ways to start businesses and make money with a side hustle while still leading a well-rounded, meaningful life. If you play your cards right, you'll be able to quit your day job and grow your side business idea into an empowering self-employed career.
Resource Recommendation: There is so much more to be said about small-business marketing than what we've mentioned here. To learn more about the points we discussed and many other topics, head over to our definitive guide!
Most companies that hire for search engine evaluation have multiple projects available to work on, so the exact work you do might vary. However, search engine evaluation in the traditional sense involves analyzing queries that regular people like you and me might type into Google or Bing search and then determining the best possible results to match up to that query so that users have the best experience possible using a search engine.
This is basically an employment temp service, but you may be "leasing out" employees for longer stints of time. The advantage to the customer is that they don't have to get involved in sourcing, screening and qualifying candidates, and importantly, they are not responsible for employment taxes, withholding and reporting. To succeed at this business, you need a strong ability to sell your services and place employees. This can be a "messy" business with employees coming and going, tax filing requirements, and customers to please. However, the upside is unlimited, some employee leasing firms have grown into mammoth enterprises!
Make sure your strategy is measurable. You need to have a method in place for measuring the tangible results of your marketing efforts. We're not just talking about the number of clicks, views or likes you're getting — if your strategy isn't generating sales, it's all for nothing.
If you know a thing or two about paid internet marketing and are comfortable with Google, a great way to make some extra income as a side business idea is to sign a freelance contract to manage a company's Google Ad Campaigns, and gradually start bringing on more clients as your consulting business grows. Just be sure to brush up on all the right business slang and industry jargon that's pervasive in the online marketing world before you launch unprepared into this side business idea.
If keeping your home organized comes naturally and you enjoy helping other people, consider becoming a professional organizer as a side business idea. As the need for baby boomers to start downsizing grows, you can use your organizing and decluttering skills to start making an industry standard $50-125 an hour with very little startup costs and some free expert advice from Jen Kilbourne. Believe it or not, pro organizers don't just work with hoarders. More and more people are hiring professional organizers in order stop wasting time and money due to the stress of everyday disorganization. What's even better, is that you can take this on as a side business idea during the nights and weekends when your clients will be at home.
You could run this as a seasonal camp during the summer. But I find it's tougher to make lots of money at seasonal businesses, so instead I would first consider offering a creative arts day camp after school or on weekends. I suggest doing surveys to find out what age groups of kids and what specific art activities have the most appeal.
Competition isn't just about the goods or services themselves. It is also about your social and environmental credibility. Consumers are increasingly conscious of the need to show that your business is concerned with labor conditions and isn't damaging the environment. Certification endorsements from reputable organizations, such as labels and stars, can reassure customers that your product or service is more aligned with their values than one lacking the certification.
