Objections to Danny Mann on Homosexuality
Danny's original comment included this:
"Christians are being persecuted and marginalized around the world, but this doesn't become a source of shame, but of genuine pride (Matthew 5:11-12). This is because we know that we are in the light (John 3:19-20) and our conscience does not condemn us. If it was simply a matter of society not accepting the gay lifestyle, LGBT people could merely laugh away the stigma. The fact that they can't suggests that there is a deeper issue."
Here is Justin's original email, which he re-posted on this blog (November 3, 2010 9:56 PM):
"Where are Christians being persecuted and marginalized? Name one place in the USA where this is happening. Name one place in the USA where Christians are being beaten and killed for being Christians. Name one place in the USA where Christians are killing themselves for being taunted and bullied. When you've done that we can move to one place in the rest of the world where Christians are being persecuted and marginalized outside of communistic or Muslim societies.
"You are being rather disingenuous - it is time that you stop.
Danny Mann's response (November 3, 2010 10:34 AM):
"I'm sorry that you feel that I'm being disingenuous about Christians experiencing marginalization and persecution – You challenged me to cite examples for the USA – and I believe that you genuinely feel this way.
"This is a difficult thing to quantify, so let me just give you some examples of what I see from my perspective. I see Christians, especially priests and pastors, consistently made to look foolish and contemptible by the media and the universities, while gays are portrayed as lovable, in-touch and aware. I see numerous cases of Christians loosing their jobs for simply expressing their Biblical beliefs about homosexuality, sometimes even when off-the-job. I see churches being vandalized and Christians intimidated – sometimes physically (especially in the wake of the passage of Proposition 8 in California). However, I've seen no examples of Christians bullying gays or vandalizing their institutions.
However, I must confess that what I see might also be badly skewed by my social location. I tend to read more Christian-oriented sources than gay-oriented. These talk about the injustices meted out against Christians and not gays. Meanwhile, I'd guess that you've read much more of the latter and therefore have a very different perspective.

"For another thing, we tend to get more upset when we hear about injustices perpetrated closer-to-home. I was very disturbed to hear about the Islamic killings of more than 50 at an Iraqi Catholic worship, but I have to remind myself that 100,000 Iraqi Muslims have also perished in this conflict. So I do want to remain open to your perspective at the same time.
"But I also hope that you have thought about the central point of my piece – that the gay lifestyle is self-destructive. We both agree (?) that statistically, gays suffer – both mentally and physically – significantly more than straights. Is this because of stigmatization or because the lifestyle conflicts with our created-in-the-image-of-God nature?
When I shared my reservations about the gay lifestyle with a friend's son, who is actively involved, he looked at me with perplexity. "I didn't think that anyone still held your ideas" was his response. He had submerged himself so completely in the gay sub-culture here in NYC, that he never encountered other views. Nevertheless, no longer exposed to stigmatization, he still seemed to be suffering from his lifestyle choices.
"But please know that the Christian faith stigmatizes all of us! We are all in the same boat; we are all sinners who need a Savior. We are all taken captive by our denials, self-justifications, rationalizations, and self-righteousness – so much so that we can barely see it. However, Jesus taught,
• 'If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." (John 8:31-32)'"
Here is Justin's reply (November 3, 2010 9:56 PM )ReplyDelete
"I've read your response three times and I will have to read it a fourth because after the third reading I am still left shaking my head.
"For the time being I will just say that pastors and priests looking foolish and contemptible cannot in any way compare to people being killed or committing suicide because their lives are made a misery by people who are emboldened by the statements that people like you make. I am ashamed both as a Christian and a human being ,that you would dare attempt to equate the two."
You're right – the ridicule of Christians isn't the same thing as the murder of gays, and, as a Christian, I never want to lack sensitivity to this fact. However, I also think you should acknowledge that the language of ridicule often becomes a prelude to violence as it did in Europe for the Jews. Today Christians are being martyred at alarming rates, and you seem to be aware of this fact. Therefore, you've challenged me specifically about the USA.
We all must be concerned for the welfare of GLBTs. This honors Christ and brings us back to the over-arching question, "Is there something self-destructive about the gay lifestyle? Does it destroy those who persist in it?" From a Biblical perspective – I'll appeal to the Bible since you self-identify as a Christian – sexual sins are particularly destructive:
• "Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own" (1 Cor. 6:18-19).
And it's not just the Bible which is saying this! We see that GLBTs are suffering disproportionately. While you might argue that it's exclusively a product of social stigmatization, there are just too many other indications that much of the problem is endemic to the lifestyle.
In view of this, isn't the loving and Christian obligation one of warning those embarking into this life?
"The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities - his eternal power and divine nature - have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.ReplyDelete
"For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.
"Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served created things rather than the Creator - who is forever praised. Amen.
"Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.
"Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolvent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them." Romans 1:18-32
It's always good to get responses, and I appreciate the strength of Florence's convictions on this matter. But we've all read these passages before. Proof-texting does relatively little to further the conversation because it's not the text that decides the matter -- but one's INTERPRETATION of the text. To think otherwise is arguably making an idol of the printed word -- and remember that St Paul didn't write in 20th-century English. In other words, Scripture is where the discussion begins, not where it ends. So I suggest we take this up under the thread "Scripture and Homosexuality."ReplyDelete
I would suggest a return to Danny Mann's first statement, "If it was simply a matter of society not accepting the gay lifestyle, LGBT people could merely laugh away the stigma. The fact that they can't suggests that there is a deeper issue."ReplyDelete
First off, the word "lifestyle" is inaccurate and dismissive. To use the term "lifestyle" to describe a homosexual person is to say that sexual activity DEFINES them. I would ask the heterosexual people reading this blog to ask themselves if who they choose to sleep with and what they choose to do with their sexual partners defines them? I'd be the first to say no.
Now SOME people might have a style of life that is all about pursuing and having sex, just as other people's lifestyles are all about pursuing and having wealth. There is the upwardly-mobile-social-networking lifestyle, which often consumes a person's schedule. I believe there is also a Christian lifestyle that attracted so many pagans to the early church because of the visible love and caring Christians showed to all people.
But sexual orientation is not a lifestyle choice like where to live, what to do. Sexual orientation, like gender identity, is a biological reality as sure and certain as the color of your eyes. This is the "deeper issue" that Danny Mann unwittingly pointed to when he asked why LGBT people can't just "shrug off the stigma."
You can't shrug off the rejection of who you are as an individual. Asking this is the same as the pre-civil rights thinking that asked black Americans to shrug off and accept white rejection of them over the color of their skin... something that was as integral and immutable as their orientation.
As I recall, white Christians also used the Bible to explain away their rejection of and refusal to accept their black brothers and sisters. Even to whitewash the institution of slavery itself.
People of faith can disagree on what the Bible says about homosexuality. It is a faithful reading of scripture to say that the Bible condemns it. It is ALSO a faithful reading to say that Jesus challenged and broke down the walls society uses to separate people into "good" and "bad."
It's hard enough to follow His commands for ourselves, but I don't see how we can act or speak faithfully while dismissing, ostracizing, and oppressing others. So many of Jesus' parables turned definitions of good and bad on their heads. Who are we to ignore that?
You wrote a number of things that would be fit for further discussion, but let me just address one of them:
"I don't see how we can act or speak faithfully while dismissing, ostracizing, and oppressing others. So many of Jesus' parables turned definitions of good and bad on their heads. Who are we to ignore that?"
I'd be glad to discuss Jesus' parables with you in this regard.
The last thing I'd want to do is to "oppress others." However, we might have an entirely different understanding of what it means to oppress. I don't think that it is a matter of oppression to reflect the fact that the Bible deems certain conduct as "sin." Besides, I think it is quite well established that same-sex behavior is self-destructive in many ways. Love would require us to warn and not be silent when we note that the gay male lives on the average of 20 years than the average.
I'm truly sorry if you find my views "dismissive." I think that we all have to learn that if we are going to live with one another, we have to remain in dialogue and not dismiss what the other says and feels.

Where I don't think it's a settled matter as to whether or not homosexuality is biological, I don't really think too much hangs on this question. It might as well be biological, because it's that fundamental to a person's identity, at least at some key points in development. This is not the same as saying, as those who speak about the "Gay Lifestyle" tend to, that gays are one-dimensional, sex-crazed miscreants. For anyone's sexuality is basic to who that person is, and that genuine human love can be expressed in same-sex as well as heterosexual relationships.
How do I know this? Because I have been there, and I think almost all critics of "the gay lifestyle" have not. Yes, there are "ex-gays," but I'd be very surprised to find an ex-gay who ever actually had a real gay lover (and I don't mean one-night stand). If he had, then he wouldn't decry the gay lifestyle as empty and depressing.
Though romance is hardly the answer to all that ails us, any of us who have been in a loving relationship knows that love heals. And to deny someone the social support to experience that healing is to do them a kind of violence which all the proof-texting in the world cannot mend, and before which all the protestations over loving the sinner but hating the sin ring very hollow indeed.
I certainly wouldn't deny that there are very compelling forces that drive LGBTs to make their lifestyle choices. However, I have to question whether these choices are in their best long-range interests. There are certainly many evidences that, emotionally, physically and even spiritually – and this is the main consideration for me – these choices are detrimental.
In defense of your position, you often resort to anecdotal evidences: "any of us who have been in a loving relationship knows that love heals." I don't deny that these relationships can be very fulfilling in the short run, but I think that there are many costs involved, as the statistics point out, that might be escaping your attention.
Besides, if I'm weighing anecdotal evidence, I must also consider the experience of others – ex-gays, for example. You claim that "I'd be very surprised to find an ex-gay who ever actually had a real gay lover." Here's one testimony that you might consider: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/19/magazine/my-ex-gay-friend.html?emc=eta1. And there are many more.
So what is love? Is it a matter of enabling people to pursue self-destructive behaviors? As Christians, we are instructed to warn:
• James 5:18-20 My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back, remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save him from death and cover over a multitude of sins.
Please forgive me if I haven't treated you with the love that is required.
Your blog has been as silent as a morgue. I hope that everything is OK. Do you plan to resume?
- AnonymousDecember 19, 2014 at 12:16 PM
Your blog makes me think of a couple of things: it always bothers me that gay people equate their sexuality with their identity. Sexual orientation requires the presence of another person for you to be attracted to; therefore, it can't be your identity. Your identity is YOU; and you could go your whole life without having sex, and you'd still have an identity. For me, "gay pride" is also a stumbling block. You're supposed to be proud of something you've ACHIEVED; if, as most people now believe, gayness is innate, there is nothing to be proud of. And last, events like the "Gay Games" bewilder me. How is a gay athlete different from any other athlete? And indeed, if you're participating in an Olympic-type event worrying about whether you're gay or not, you shouldn't be in athletics because your mind is not on the sport. Just a few points to ponder...ReplyDelete
Anonymous, I think that you are making some sound observations. I think that some of the inconsistencies that you observe come the fact that today's gay identity is not the product of consistent thinking but rather considerations about the impact that this constructed portrait it will have on society and also about guilt and shame.ReplyDelete


text: news Bonding on two wheels 01 September 2015 , By Nicolette Mok Share Facebook Twitter Whatsapp Email Contrary to what non-cyclists might think, cycling does not always have to be an individual sport. Over the weekend, we spoke to a few participants of OCBC Cycle 2015, a mass cycling event, and got to know more about what makes cycling such an enjoyable social activity. Jonathan Photo: SportSG For recreational cyclist Jonathan Hooper, the OCBC Cycle Speedway Championships was the perfect avenue for him to amass competition experience and, of course, to meet new people. Noting the lack of competitive cycling events in Singapore, Jonathan said: "It's good that we've got something like this today. Such events are important because they get people outdoors; they get people communicating and meeting new friends. I've made a lot of new friends cycling!" "I'd say that what I enjoy most about cycling would be the social scene, running with your mates every day and stuff like that. It's pretty cool. It's another way of socialising; it brings people together, it allows us to compete in a fun way." Kathryn and team Photo: SportSG Avid triathlete Kathryn Marie Haesner joined the Championships "to get a bit of a break from triathlons, and to have fun with friends". Revealing that her team, Arrivo Primo Singapura, was fielding the only all-female line-up for the Speedway race, Kathryn also noted that the best part of the event was competing alongside her teammates. "What I enjoy most about cycling is the social side of it: Riding with teams, meeting new people, having a laugh, and exploring new places. I've made many new friends through the sport," she expressed. "I think cycling is a fabulous way to bring people together. You're keeping fit, and it's got the social aspect that makes it fun. You can talk when you ride most of the time, so that's cool!" Clement Photo: SportSG Meanwhile, less competitive cyclists opted for the amateur-friendly routes on Sunday's Sportive Ride and Straits Times Ride. Clement Cheang, who joined the long-distance ride with a team from the National University Hospital (NUH) Sports Centre, professed to have had a healthy and fun morning with his colleagues. "I decided to join this just as a way to keep fit. It wasn't very difficult getting people to join the team; the response was quite good! I think this event was useful for us to bond as a group of colleagues. We're from different departments, you see, so we don't get to see each other often at work. I'd do this again with them," he explained. Jia Shern, Kai Xiang, and Jodel Photo: SportSG Proving that sporty community activities were not just for the older crowd was a group of 17-year-olds: Lim Jia Shern, Yap Kai Xiang, and Jodel Chow. The three friends, who had met while in primary school, certainly chose a very meaningful reunion activity! "This is our first time at the OCBC Cycle, but we'll most probably be back again next year. The teamwork aspect of cycling is really important. It helps us to work together, and to understand each other better," remarked Jia Shern, who also added that they regularly encouraged each other to stay fit. Ken, Steve, Jess, Benedict, and Gen Photo: SportSG Likewise, another group of youths had also chosen to spend the early hours of their Sunday morning on their bicycles. Jess Tang, Benedict Chieng, Gen Han, Ken Ang, and Steve Leow - a group of close friends and former schoolmates - were grateful for the opportunity to spend quality time together. Sharing her experience riding alongside her friends, Jess said: "When people do things together and want to improve together, they tend to get closer. It's not like just meeting up to have dinner. When we cycled today, we communicated a lot with each other, such as telling each other to switch gears, to speed when going uphill, and things like that. You feel that you're building something quite meaningful together." "One thing I feel is important about participating in a group is that you have your friends to cheer you on, to motivate you to go up the steep inclines and all that. If you do it alone, you tend to just do it at your own pace. With a friend, or a group, you have each other to fall back on and to push each other… All the ups and downs! We'll definitely do this again," concurred Benedict.

"This is a story about a family and, as there is a ghost involved, you might call it a ghost story. But every family is a ghost story. The dead sit at our tables long after they have gone."Mitch Albom.
It's an interesting premise isn't it? Are families full of members that no longer walk the earth? Do people who are no here still touch our lives? I think, in one way or another, those that have gone before us do touch the ground we now walk on. Even if we are not conscious of it. Even if we wish it wasn't so. We are apart of the thread of humanity. Apart of those who went before us and apart of those who are still to come. I wouldn't say that people in my past define me, but I would say that it would be possible to find their fingerprints in my life, even in some small way. Even if it was just because I chose not to be like them, or make their same mistakes.
But what if someone's passing wasn't the end?
Mitch Albom plays the ultimate what if game in his novel For One More Day.
What if... you had one more day with the person you loved?
What if there was another chance to say the things that weren't said? Hmmm....
I lost my grandfather last November. I think I said everything I wanted to say. I think he knew I loved him. And as his eldest granddaughter, I knew he was fiercely proud of me. I knew he loved me. I knew he thought I was beautiful. He said so. Often. And in the absence of my father's words, he made all the difference. I certainly knew he loved me.
If I had one more day with him, I would ask him if he heard us talking the night he died. I would ask what it meant to him that we were there. And I would ask him what he was trying to say in those last deliberate mumbles.
But I have no regrets.
I am keenly aware that his story came before mine. I think he lived a good life. Not perfect. But who is? I don't think I understood all there was to understand about him. I didn't understand all the stories he told. But I know his favourites were those he told about my grandmother. That I can understand. She is a remarkable woman.
When I read Mitch's book, I cried. Not many books have that affect on me, but this one did. They weren't sad tears, just thoughtful ones. I was remembering my grandfather. And I was thinking of all the other people who are very much alive, the ones who sit at my dinner table and the ones who I call friends. I think of those I wish I knew better. I think of the things I want to ask them, but don't. For one reason or another. I think of those who ask me questions and the impact they have had, both the people and the questions, in my life.
I don't want to have any regrets. But I am sure I will probably have some in this life. I just hope it won't be something I didn't say when I had the chance to say it. We don't get one more day with those we love. There are no more days to get to know someone once they are gone. I know this; days have numbers. We don't see them clicking over. But they are. Everyday. I hope I remember that in all my relationships. Days are very precious. People-more so. Ask. Tell. Show. Speak. Live life with those who make it worth the living. I want to show up. And dare to be present. No regrets. No "What ifs..." Because once they are gone, and they will go, there is never one more day.
William, Bill, Popo...RIP
You know I loved you.
And so did many others...

Waxing, But Not Waning
The task in question was waxing - and the objects to be waxed were antique casegoods (that's designer lingo for wooden furniture!). Many new furniture pieces have finishes that do not require wax, and may even be damaged by wax, but most antiques can benefit from a nice, light coat of wax once a year - especially if they are used often (like the table in the photo which we use for most meals).
The wax I use is called 'Town Talk' and it's available at Restoration Hardware; it's nice because it has a subtle orange scent - like real oranges, not a fake air freshener-type scent. I've finished all the waxing jobs except one - a large chest we bought on eBay from England (yes, it was worth the cost of crating and shipping, but that's a story for another day!). The chest has not benefited from living with us - the English damp was what it was accustomed to and despite our best efforts at humidity regulation, some of the joints separate a bit in the winter which makes me really sad . . . so the least I can do is to give it a bit of spa treatment with an orange wax! So, I'm off to do just that.
And in case you thought this post was going to be about moon phases - here's a note for you - today the moon is a waning crescent and only 5% of it is visible. Check out this site for full details.

i can honestly say that i've never waxed anything but if i ever have to the orange wax sounds like the way to go! hugs!!ReplyDelete
I do love the scent of wax...and the way my table looks after I have done it. Yep...it's time to do our furniture...ReplyDelete
Jane (artfully graced)
Well, I for one want to see the final result on the table that came from England! I'm with Melita in that I've never waxed anything. I don't really have any gorgeous antique furniture to worry about. Just a few small pieces.ReplyDelete
I use an orange-scented wax as well. And you know, I never mind waxing my furniture - at least it leaves you with a sense of accomplishment! Any snow up in Hillsborough?ReplyDelete
Pam - I know what you mean about the sense of accomplishment, it's a nice short task with immediate results . . . not always the way with garden tasks! We have snow overnight, but it's all melted. It looks like you had more down south (or south-east).ReplyDelete
Thanks for stopping by!

Today has been the first Saturday where the boy & I haven't spent the day house hunting or doing anything house related. So we packed up a rucksack with water bottles and jumped on a train to explore London.
A few weeks back, the lovely Mel from http://www.mediamarmalade.com mentioned a book her boy had got for Xmas, filled with lots of hidden villages around London. Intrigued, I bought a copy & we opened on a random page & headed there. Today we went to Highgate village.
Highgate is on the Northern line so it's fairly easy to get to, just after Camden. The main Highstreet is a 10min walk up hill from the station but it's well worth it.
We explored the shops along the Highstreet, popping into the Bookstore for a quick browse, losing a bit of time in the vintage shops & drooling over the cakes in the tea shop.
It started to get very windy so we popped into The Angel Inn to have some lunch & a sit down - we both chose to have pork & chorizo burgers & chips - cheat day all round!
After lunch we went for another wander, heading down to the cometary in search of the grave Karl Marx, sadly we missed the closing time by 10 mins so peered in through the bars of the fence, as the sun was setting the light was gorgeous on the graves all covered in Ivy, I need to head back & visit during the day.
We walked back up to the Highstreet and headed to one if the tea rooms for a brew and a scone, it was well needed to warm up, however I could have eaten everything in there!
After that it was home time, walking through rows if Edwardian town houses felt like we had stepped back in time before returning to the train station and heading home.
It's nice spending time just exploring the area that we live in, normally we head just to the main 'tourist' areas but we will be heading out more - time to pick another location from the book!

Our Balcony
One of the main reasons we moved to this flat in Prahran in May was that it had a decent sized balcony with a great view all the way to Port Philip Bay. Our last apartment had no outside space or view, which, in my opinion, is essential when you live in country that is actually warm for a large part of the year.
As we moved in to this place at the beginning of winter we haven't had much of a chance to enjoy our balcony yet. Aside from a few herbs, my new bike, and our drying laundry, we didn't have anything out there. Nothing to sit on or make it inviting. So this week we made the trek to IKEA to get a few outdoor basics. I always dread trips to IKEA as they inevitably lead to some sort of dispute. An English guy I work with has moved back and forth between England and Australia with his Australian wife 7 times. They have now decided to settle in Australia, as "there are only so many times you can go to IKEA without getting a divorce". Totally agree. Also, no matter how well intentioned, there is no such thing as a 'quick trip' to IKEA. We actually did this one in about an hour and a half which is probably a record, and only that fast as we had a birthday dinner to get to. Plus, being on school holidays meant we could go during a weekday, which... what a difference an empty IKEA makes! It's almost pleasant to check out all the design spaces without thousands of other people also in search of cheap Swedish furniture. We actually got through so fast that Andy thought we must have skipped a section.
I have this idea in my head that our balcony is going to be this lovely little sanctuary, where I can peacefully read my book and have a coffee while gazing out to the sea. I've even started a Pinterest board with ideas for small balconies, which actually just makes me covet other people's homes. Pinterest is evil like that. Andy is more practical about the whole thing, probably because the balcony is not THAT big and also we are only renting this flat, so no point in putting too much effort into a place we will never own.
So we decided on just a small table and chairs for now, so that we could at least sit outside for a few meals or a glass of wine as the evenings start to get warmer. Best part about the table and chairs? They came already put together! No allen keys required! We also got a few plants and herbs which I will be adding to - I love growing fresh herbs, they are such a ripoff to buy in bunches in the supermarket.
I love our balcony! (And, I actually love IKEA. Here is a link to a post on the TED Blog with some hilarious parodies and homages to IKEA)

Testing... 1, 2, 3, 4... 5... 6...

The vest looks wonderful all over to me Marsha! First rate! If it were me, I'd still be standing at the cutting table, scissors in hand, sweating away with fear. Did you back the appliques so the edges wouldn't fray? If that's a trade secret, no answer necessary. I love what you are doing...I even like the matching color leaves with the fabric...they provide contrast with the brighter leaves and add depth. Can't wait to see what you do next! JeanneEvansReplyDeleteReplies
Jeanne, I fused the appliqué in place and then machine stitched the edges. Then I made sure to cover the stitching with beads. I see a tiny fray at the very edge, beneath the bead, but I don't think it is a problem. I will see when the cleaning happens. The edges could be turned, but that would take more time. :)Delete
You did an awesome job of it.....and all the points you made are so spot on; I am in the middle of beading a fabric bag myself right now and I have had to walk away from it several times out of sheer frustration.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you Naan! I thought I SHOULD start with a bag, but that never happened. Lol. I will look forward to seeing it!Delete
Nice Job! Love the colors and design. I do think you might be better off turning appliques under but your right it is more work. And I thought if you used tear away interfacing underneath as you bead it might give you a more solid work table. I cant wait to see it finished.ReplyDeleteReplies
Jennie, thanks. Obviously, some of the leaves, the elm shapes, could have been turned. The oak and maple leaves are so very complex that it is hard to imagine getting those edges to turn. I ripped some of these leaves three times before I was happy and I saw no fraying past my line of stitching. I will be very surprised if they ever do.Delete
Very nice job, Marsha! I love the colors you used. I have also been thinking about bead-embroidered clothing, but for dolls. I'm thinking... maybe one of those square tambour embroidery hoops could work? They come in all kinds of sizes.ReplyDelete
Can't wait to see what you do next!Replies
When I worked at the Guthrie, we sent things off to NYC to be bead embroidered and we just marked our patterns out on the fabric, but did not cut anything. My understanding was that the embroidery was done on a huge frame. I have to look up tambour hooks, and how that all works, but in my memory, that was like a chain stitch, and if one came off, the rest were in peril. I really like holding a needle, and I think that is how I want to do this thing. Thanks for reading and for your comment and suggestions!Delete

Vessel Speed Reduction Program (VSR)
The Vessel Speed Reduction Program is a voluntary strategy to reduce air pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions from cargo and cruise ships by reducing speeds in the vicinity of San Diego Bay. Studies show that reducing vessel speeds decreases air emissions which ultimately lead to better air quality.
The Port asks cargo vessel operators entering or leaving San Diego Bay to observe a 12-knot speed limit. For cruise ships, a 15-knot limit is requested. The Vessel Speed Reduction zone extends 20 nautical miles seaward from Point Loma.
Clean Air Program Overview
Air pollution from goods movement sources, such as ships, trucks, and trains, have recently come under heightened regulatory scrutiny by air agencies in California, especially the California Air Resources Board (ARB). There is no regulatory requirement for the San Diego Unified Port District (Port) to adopt a clean air plan, program, or strategy. Despite this, but consistent with its environmental program, in October 2006 the Board of Port Commissioners directed staff to develop a program to address air pollution from local port-related sources. The resulting Clean Air Program (the Program, or CAP) is a comprehensive program that provides a framework for the Port's commitment to reducing air pollution at the three Port operated marine terminals: the Cruise Ship Terminal, Tenth Avenue Marine Terminal and National City Marine Terminal.
The CAP is being voluntarily developed by the Port and is designed to build on current and proposed control and goods movement strategies, customized for local port operations. It is a strategic program to identify local port-related emission sources and methods to control them beyond current regulatory programs, either through early implementation or greater penetration of control strategies.
The first step in the CAP process was to identify specific sources of air pollutants from Port operations.
A Clean Air Program Draft Report was completed and presented to the Board of Port Commissioners on Tuesday, February 12, 2008. This document describes the goals of the Clean Air Program, the local and regional context in which the Clean Air Program is being developed, and the current regulatory environment. The Draft Report discusses the 2006 Emissions Inventory and its implications on the development of the Clean Air Program. Selected control measures, including the process by which these measures were evaluated and the framework for the continuation of this Program into 2008, also are presented.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Clean Air Program?
The Clean Air Program is a comprehensive program that provides a framework for the Port's commitment to reducing air emissions at the Cruise Ship Terminal, Tenth Avenue Marine Terminal and National City Marine Terminal. The 2007 Clean Air Program Report will identify control measures that can be implemented in the near-term and measures that are part of a long-term strategy to reduce air emissions, building upon regulatory and voluntary efforts.
What is the goal of the Clean Air Program?
The goal of the Clean Air Program is to voluntarily reduce air emissions from current Port operations in advance of regulatory action through the identification and evaluation of feasible and effective control measures for each category of Port operations.
What are control measures?
Control measures are structural and operational ways to reduce air emissions. For example, changing the type of fuel used by ocean going vessels is a control measure. Another example would be reducing the speed at which ocean going vessels travel, thus reducing air emissions.
When will the Clean Air Program be completed?
The Board of Port Commissioners is expected to review a draft program in December 2007 and provide direction to Port staff in early 2008. The Clean Air Program will continue to be refined as it moves into the implementation phase in 2008. The Clean Air Program also will be adapted to address air emissions from future changes in Port operations.
What is the Air Emissions Inventory?
In 2007, the Port commissioned an Air Emissions Inventory to identify the sources of air pollutants coming from Port operations. The Port decided voluntarily to conduct the inventory so it could have a baseline of data on which the Clean Air Program could be based. By identifying sources of air pollution, the inventory will help ensure the control measures in the Clean Air Program are effective in reducing air emissions from the areas of greatest concern.
How is the Clean Air Program being developed?
The Port hired a nationally known consultant, ENVIRON, that has worked with ports in Los Angeles, Long Beach, and Oakland on their clean air programs and has conducted port-related work at other ports across the U.S., including the Ports of San Francisco, New York/New Jersey, Houston-Galveston and Hawaii. A stakeholder work group has been formed to provide input into the program, and a draft program will be presented to the Board of Port Commissioners for approval.
Do other ports have clean air programs?
Yes, many ports have developed or are in the process of developing clean air plans, programs, and strategies. The Port and its consultants are familiar with other plans and can benefit from what has been done elsewhere. However, the Port of San Diego is different from other ports in size, type of cargo, and type of operations, and these differences need to be reflected in the Port of San Diego Clean Air Program.
How is the public being involved in the development of the Clean Air Program?
The stakeholder work group represents businesses, residents, labor unions, cities, regulators, environmental groups and other interested parties. Work group meetings are also open to any member of the general public who wishes to provide input. In addition, the public is invited to speak directly to the Board of Port Commissioners when it considers the draft program. Once the program is approved, an ongoing public involvement program will be developed to enable interested stakeholders to provide input as the program is implemented.
Will the Clean Air Program be integrated with the Maritime Business Plan?
The Clean Air Program will identify a clean air strategy that will be applied to all future changes to Port operations, including any that come about as part of the Maritime Business Plan. However, it should be noted that the Port's Maritime Business Plan is a marketing strategy that will guide how the Port could increase its cargo businesses. Actual increases or changes to the Port's maritime cargo business are highly dependent on market conditions and other factors. Once the Port decides to make a specific change in operations, such as increasing a certain kind of cargo or changing the configuration of a marine terminal, the Port will conduct the appropriate environmental review, including air emission control strategies identified in the Clean Air Program.
Will the Clean Air Program undergo an environmental review process?
The Clean Air Program sets forth measures that may be subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), either independently or as part of development projects.

Type: Fortified, Muscat
Origin: Rutherglen, Victoria
Approx Cost: $20 (500 ml)
Finally stop on the Morris fortified train and we're left standing at muscat station. I quite like muscats so I was looking forward to this.
Reddy-gold amber. Nice flavours of orange, marmalade and raisin. Nice finish, but it's a little hollow.
Really good for an entry level muscat, but lacking anything exceptional to take it up. Still, I know I'd get it again when on the lookout for a cheap muscat.

"Going Local" has its drawbacks when it comes to your precious metal purchasing power since you may have to pay a local sales tax. This tax can generally be avoided if you buy gold and silver through a national online retailer like Provident Metals; however, some investors and coin collectors prefer to keep their money within their local community.

Inver Grove Heights, MN
Hi! My artwork is photography of all things nature - especially wildlife, flowers, and landscapes. Many of the flora and animal images are from my own gardens and local areas near Minneapolis St. Paul, Minnesota, also knows as the Twin Cities. Other photographs are from photo trips/vacations taken with my husband of 35+ years. My final art images are what I like to call "documentary art" - that is, I capture the most interesting and very best subjects from wherever I am and then enhance them - sometimes a little, sometimes a lot - to make my own kind of "real life" art. Most are outdoors and include swans, eagles, herons, songbirds, parks, scenic views, lakes, rivers, waterfalls, and more - even some architecture and other non-nature subjects.
You will find amazing and beautiful contemporary, classic, scenic, and close-up (macro) fine art. appropriate for for corporations, hotels, doctor and clinic waiting rooms, reception areas, hallways, business conference rooms and offices, interior designers, interior decorators, model homes, Realtor (selling your home) staging, architects, and of course - private collectors. Many of the images are perfect for special occasion note cards such as Mother's or Father's Day, Halloween, Valentine's Day, Christmas, Birthday - actually any occasion!

Why Southern Mid-Coast Maine?
Once you visit our beautiful area- Southern Midcoast Maine and Merrymeeting Bay, you won't want to leave. This beautiful coastal region has white sandy beaches, unspoiled off shore islands, golf courses, shopping, excellent schools, and lots of scenic vistas.
It's a great place to live, work, and retire. It's also a great place to buy a home, and here are some reasons why:
1. The Bath-Brunswick area has a stable employment base, low crime rate, and is within a short commute to Maine largest city, Portland.
2. Brunswick Maine and the Southern Mid-Coast of Maine is very "cosmopolitan" because of Bowdoin College, Bath Iron Works and two hospitals, Mid-Coast Regional and Parkview, all of which bring new people from all over the nation into our community.
3. It's hard to find a better place to live where you can enjoy the beautiful rocky coast of Maine and still be within an easy drive to the mountains and the Maine wilderness with its excellent fresh water fishing, hunting, hiking and camping.

Maine is a Home Buyer's Market
There's usually a good amount of real estate inventory available in all categories. The current Maine Real Estate market is best described as a home buyers market. A home buyer's market is what you get when there's more supply than demand.
When there are more people looking to sell Maine houses than there are people looking to buy Maine houses, sellers may have to accept a lower price than they want to sell their Maine home. They may also offer other incentives. This is the ideal situation for buyers, because they can get a great deal.
Predicting the Maine Real Estate Market
Buyer's markets don't last forever. It's hard to predict what the market will do with any accuracy, though, and things change slowly. You might end up waiting months or years for things to change. And when circumstances do change, they may not change in your favor. This is an important factor to consider when you're deciding when to buy or sell real estate.

Casio G-shock
Casio G shock watches
The first G-Shock watch was produced in April 1983 by the Japanese watch brand Casio. The in house designer behind the concept was Kikuo Ibe and the very first model that they produced was known as the DW-5000C-1A.
The concept behind the Casio G-Shock range was to produce a digital watch that was very hard wearing and resistant to strong vibrations and hard knocks, they were initially marketed to sportsmen and those who favored outdoor pursuits such as mountaineering and winter sports, the vast majority of the first watches produced all featured stopwatches, lights, and water resistance to ensure they met the demands of modern day athletes. The durability of G-Shock is rated so highly that both British and American Special Forces use the watches when in the field.
By the 1990's G-Shock started to become highly popular within the fashion watch sector with many department stores and independent fashion stores stocking the product. Casio worked to this demand and began to release many models per year and collaborating with other companies and famous people to increase their ever growing collection and by 1998 they were releasing over 200 different models per year.
In 2002 G-Shock introduced the Baby-G collection of watches which were designed to appeal predominantly to the female market. The watches kept the design principles of durability and resistance of the mainline collection but with a much more feminine design.
Casio G-Shock watches online store
Today the G-Shock range is split into 5 main ranges, the Classic series, the Giez series, the Limited Series, the Master of G series, and the MTG series.
Today, you can find a large variety of Casio G shock watches with all the features and styles you might expect from a leader in the industry. A few of the most popular styles of Casio watches for men includes the G-Shock Blue Dual Function, the G-Shock Radio Controlled Solar, the 10-year Lithium Battery, the Extended Battery Life, the ProTrek Wave Ceptor, the Speed-Measuring, and the Illuminator Combination.

pulling watch duty at USTDC. During normal duty hours, the Master at Arms sat behind the "glass cage" in the lobby, which was referred to as the quarterdeck. We Air Force people had no idea what a quarterdeck actually was but at least we knew what they were talking about. To the left is my very poor sketch of how I remember the area. You're looking down from just above the main entrance and that would be the chief's cage directly ahead with the stairs to the second floor just to the right of it. The J-1s office was to the left. I don't remember there being an office on the right side, across from the J-1.
BMC Gagne spent his days there on the quarterdeck during most of my tour and he departed not long before I did in 1974. I don't recall whether he was reassigned elsewhere or retired.
During evenings, weekends and whenever the chief had to be somewhere else, the quarterdeck was staffed by other available enlisted people, I think in grades E-4 through E-6. Certain shops were exempt from the duty, but I believe that all of us in J-1 were scheduled for it.
The reason I'm writing about this again is that I just remembered one of the duties of the watch that I'd long forgotten about. I may not have the times right, but I believe that somewhere around 8:00 PM (2000 hours; eight bells), we came out of the cage, took a right down the hall to where it hooked to the left and continued on to the other front entrance door. We locked that door and then pulled down a steel overhead door. At about 10:00 PM (2200 hours; four bells) we did the same thing back at the main entrance. At some specified time the next morning, we raised the steel doors and unlocked the entrance doors for the new day.
Okay, so maybe none of this is of any interest to anybody but me, but I can still hear the clatter of those doors echoing up and down the deserted hallways of TDC late at night so I guess it's still part of the history of the place.

Please find below a selection of feedback we have received from our events:
|"I just wanted to drop you a line to say a huge thank you for all your hard work, not just on the day, but in the run up to the event. Ashley, you were always very helpful during the year of planning. The day was a huge hit. I can honestly say that I was absolutely thrilled with everything. I thought the service was immaculate. Our VIPs felt very special. The food was superb. They have never had a choice of menu before so that was quite a novelty and the food at previous events, at least in the last five years, has been dreadful. I knew that anything would be better than what we had had previously, but what we were served on the day truly surpassed that. It was better food than I had at my 5 star hotel wedding. Every one of my guests that had dietary requirements have mentioned how great their food was too. I have to say that they were all talking about the slates under their pudding...very Masterchef!!"
Julie White, Ladies Circle
|"My husband and I would like to say a special big Thank You for all the hard work you and your staff put in to make our Ruby Wedding party a success. We had a great night and lots of super memories. Our guests made many comments on how good the evening was and what a great buffet we had. They also commented on what a great venue it was. Only complaint we had was it wasn't long enough! It just flew in. I guess that's what happens when you are enjoying yourselves! We have lots of great memories to last us the next 40 years!!!! Please pass on our thanks to all the staff involved."
Helen and Tam Noon
|"I just wanted to say a big thank you to you and your staff for making our day such a success. Everything went smoothly and the food was fabulous. Your staff really surpassed themselves in making the day such a success and you should rightly be very proud of them. All the families couldn't speak highly enough of the venue and all of them told me it was a great day."
Elizabeth Maitland, Meningitis Trust
|"We had an absolutely fabulous time. I'm not sure that the animals in the zoo enjoyed the same experience when some of the guests started to sing in the early hours accompanied by the pipes, as the apes were seen with their eyes closed and hands over their ears. All members of your staff were outstanding and made sure that we had such a good time, which can't have been easy given the many strange aspects of a military dinner. For once the weather also helped and it was lovely standing on the lawn, glass in hand looking out over Edinburgh. So the menu, staff and location were all superb. Very many thanks again."

Dread Going To Work? How To Deal With The Feeling
You dread going to work. Every morning is the same – you have to drag yourself out of bed. It's not that the body is weak, it's that the mind is not willing. Most of us know that. Many people have felt that way at least at one point in their careers.
Related: #1 Reason You Hate Work (And How You Can Fix It)
Is there a way of overcoming the dread of going to work everyday? I am not sure if I have the absolute solution, but these are some of the strategies I have personally tried in my years of experience:
1. Don't Dwell
Do not let the "dread going to work" syndrome become your dominant thought. Yes, I know it is easier said than done. But you have to start somewhere, and that somewhere is your thought. The more you think about how much you dread work, the deeper it will dwell into your thought. Stop thinking about it. Take that thought out and focus your thought on something else.
2. Locate The Source Of Your Dread
Find out the source of your dread. Otherwise, you will not be able to tackle it. Do not complain if you do not know what you are complaining about.
Why do you dread going to work? Is it because of your colleagues, your boss, your routine work, your pay, or the traffic? Write all the reasons down and see if you can tackle them. I am sure resignation has crossed your mind. But before you do that, let's see if there is a way of solving it. We cannot expect life to be perfect and work to be perfect for that matter.
3. Seek Not Perfection
Life is not perfect. Why should work be? Accept that things being imperfect are how things work. If you expect perfect colleagues, perfect bosses, perfect resources, or perfect processes, then you are in for a shock. There can never be a perfect system, perfect factory, and perfect office wherever you work.
Because, trust me, no matter how high your pay is, it can always be higher; no matter how good your colleagues are, they can always be better; and no matter how understanding your boss is, he can always be better. Seek not perfection if you do not want to dread going to work. Seek adaptation – adaptation from yourself. What can you do to make the work environment better?
4. Think Of Work As A Pedagogue
Ever think that the process of work can also teach us something about life? Think of work as a pedagogue. It teaches us that we do not always have things our way, and that life can sometimes mean having to do things we do not like or even enjoy. But it's only temporary, and we have a choice of doing something about it.
Use this experience of dreading work as your teacher. What does it teach you? Ask and answer, and you will immediately see this experience in a different light.
There is something you can do about the feeling of "dread going to work." Do not fear it. Sit down calmly and have an action plan to tackle it. When you start working on a plan to diffuse it, you will feel better – even if the plan does not work.

text: Actually, no, let them roll. If you have an opportunity to peek in the February Blue Ridge Leader newspaper, the article in the real estate section might look familiar! I'm proud to announce that I've accepted their offer to write a monthly real estate column for them as they revamp their content in the new year. While the first story was an excerpt from a post here and a post on LoCo Market Stats, upcoming articles may or may not be content from the blog. So if you'd like to read my ramblings in a more traditional format, you can get ink on your fingers and still keep up with my musings. 🙂

Specialist in BIM Management/h1>
BIM, also called Building Information Modelling, obtains an ever more prominent role in non-residential building. BIM is a digital model of an existing and/or planned construction, made up of objects that are associated with information. Any construction partner can deliver and process its information in a BIM model. This reduces failure costs in the construction industry with an average of 5% to 13%. The information does not only rest with persons, but is permanently linked to the building.
As a modern steel construction company, BIM is a matter of course for us. All projects are worked out three-dimensionally by our own BIM specialists. Not only the steel parts, but if required, the complete building structure (roof and wall cladding, installations etc.). We thus acquire a complete 3D model with all the relevant information that is required for the realisation of a high-quality project. Static, detail, and energy load calculations are performed based on the 3D model.
The BIM model contains:
- geometry
- profile properties
- temporary facilities in order to guarantee structural safety during the construction phase
- connection types
- materials
All drawings and parts lists are automatically generated from the model. In addition, the entries for the CNC machines are delivered digitally, what a guaranteed quick production time. In addition, it contains model phases that seamlessly connect to the integral project planning. In addition to the traditional construction process, chain partners are increasingly being chosen for building. We have experience in this and like to work with it.
Benefits of BIM Management
- Reduction of failure fees
- Better cooperation
- Reduced construction time
- Reduction in building costs
- Transparency of information

We observed that palladium supported on HZSM-5 catalyzed hydrogenation and deoxygenation reactions that converted phenolic compounds into aromatic hydrocarbons and cycloalkanes.

State & Local Tax Controversy
The current economy left states with unprecedented budget deficits and the prospect of significant future budget shortfalls. Faced with this prospect, states are required to aggressively pursue tax reviews and audits to attempt to bridge these budget gaps. This environment of increased audit activity and expensive assessments will place a burden on every taxpayer to defend its tax positions and reduce its taxes.
Resolving tax audits favorably may be difficult for taxpayers in an environment when tax authorities become very creative in computing assessments.
Because tax auditors and agency administrators are on the lookout for ways to generate revenue, they resort to very aggressive tactics to enforce the tax laws. Anyone may find him/herself in the cross hairs of an aggressive state taxing agency's auditors who are using more sophisticated methods of identifying potential taxpayers and imposing their respective laws.
Our experienced state and local tax (SALT) professionals—many of whom are former state government employees—work with state and local taxing agencies across many jurisdictions. We have developed relationships with auditors and key administrators to help you navigate, negotiate, and resolve audit and appeal issues. Our SALT team is experienced in the states' audit techniques and can help manage an audit, negotiate with the auditors, or strategize with tax personnel to significantly reduce any tax exposure. We also work to minimize any potential liability by identifying opportunities for offsets of credits, overpayments and refunds.
Andersen Tax offers flexible pricing arrangements, in select circumstances, such as contingency pricing for our services. Our goal is to ensure that we not only meet your expectations, but also surpass them both in client service and convenience.
Andersen Tax takes a strategic approach in looking at your business to find opportunities and provide value in the following areas:
Audit Defense and Administrative Appeal
- Audit Defense Services: Our highly qualified team keeps abreast of trends and can work with the auditor and supervisory staff to help resolve the audit at the lowest possible level of administration.
- Administrative Hearings and Appeals: Andersen Tax has experienced professionals who handle all steps in the process of resolving your audit issues. We view ourselves as part of your team. We will scale our involvement accordingly based on whether you are actively involved or prefer that we manage the entire process. Our SALT professionals bring our experience and relationships with key personnel at state tax departments to your company.
- Regulatory Projects: Key issues and topics are addressed before state revenue departments to keep you up to date with the most important topics for your business when state revenue agencies act.
- Negotiated Settlements: The option to settle difficult matters often involves approaching the right people with the best alternative approach and persuasion. Our team can develop that approach with the relevant key state personnel to get you the best potential resolution without the time and expense of litigation or appeal.
Voluntary Disclosure Agreements and Strategic Refund Claims
- Voluntary Disclosure Agreements to States: Many states will limit the look-back period, negotiate resolution and waive penalties for taxpayers who voluntarily come forward to pay back taxes. Andersen Tax can also approach the state and local taxing authorities on an anonymous basis to assist you with identifying potential outcomes prior to your disclosure.
- Strategic and Protective Refund Claims: Our SALT team keeps abreast of key tax issues being appealed and litigated in your state to identify opportunities for you to file strategic claims on issues being addressed or resolved that may favorably impact your business. In addition, we can assist you in filing protective claims on important matters, navigating through the courts for you in order to protect potential refunds for prior years before the statute of limitations might otherwise expire.

RabbiDrew.info as a re-direct to it.
This week was my first in posting content to it, with a post each of the past four days (Monday-Thursday) and I am looking forward to continuing to post content to it as it pertains to my professional self.
For a while, I've been wanting to post about activities etc. I've been doing or about work, etc., but not wanting to post it on this personal blog, since that is not my intention with this particular blog. This bifurcation of broadcasting of mine is exactly as I have done with Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

NOVALESS by Nicholas Manning (I wanted to have this after seeing a sample viz a chap put out by Achiote Press. These are not just lovely "machine songs" but very smart poems)

budget, clothing, clothing haul, color, fall fashion, fall winter 2012, fashion, Forever 21, h&M, haul, misswwfashion, peter an collar, Vero Moda
So I went shopping recently, a few times actually in order to get items to complete my existing wardrobe with this falls hottest trends. The thing is … I have big plans for next year and I'm actually on a saving money mode. But that wont stop this fashionista on following this seasons trends and especially not from shopping. SO I decided to stay on budget and get some essentials to work with what I already have.
I decided to get a few of seasons biggest statement pieces by keeping it simple and versatile so that I can create many different outfits by reusing the same items.
Here a few of the items I got a at very affordable price. So I decided to share them with you … and hopefully you will get a few of them because they look great on and are very very affordable.
Trend #1: Red and beet Red clothing items
I got this dress at forever 21 and it costed only 14.50$+tx (in Can $) it is called the Scoop Back Bodycon Dress and you can get it at their online shop that is linked here.
Wear it with a thin or large belt around the waist. Looks great alone for a night out or with leggings for colder weather and daytime outfits. You can also wear a cardigan over for the office.
Trend #2: colored pants and forest green.
I got these pants at H&M for 14.95$+tx (in Cad $) you can get the trousers at an H&M store near you (I've put a link for your information).
Wear them as a great color accent with white, beige and leather. Looks great and balances out any outfit with a shirt that has prints (since printed clothing is still very in this season).
I also got this Sevilla LS Blouse for 25$+tx (in Can $) from Vero Moda at Winners in the same dark forest green color. Knits come back each fall and winter and are so easy and comfortable to dress.
Wear it with any casual outfit. Looks great with jeans and White pants. I love to add a nice scarf and accessories to dress it up a little. I Couldnt find a link online where to buy but you can loock it up here only in an diffrent color.
Trend # 3: Prints and whites.
I got these tribal printed white trousers at H&M for 14.95$+tx (in Can $) you can find them in a local H&M store.
I love these pants, they add an extra kick to a simple black or white sweater every time. Add some Gold accents and nice accessories and Voila!!
Trend # 5: Pastel
This is an unusual trend color for fall but I love it!! I got two sweaters From H&M in pastel mint green.
I got a silky studded blouse for under 30$ and the knitted top worn by Lana del Ray in the fall collection for H&M for 19.95$+tx (in Cnd $).
I love to wear these items with white pants and light jeans. The blouse is great for the office and has that great it collar.
Trend #6 peter pan collars.
Well I cheated for this particular trend by getting this pretty peter pan collar inspired necklace. You can wear it with any sweater and add that peter pan collar anytime to your outfit.
I got it at H&M for around 19$ (in Cnd $)
Trend # 7 Gold accessories
Gold accents complete any outfit this fall especially if you wear them around the neck.
So I got this Gold necklace from H&M for under 15$ since I already own plenty gold accents, but I love it since it has some white enamel accents and you can also wear it as a bracelate.
Sorry I could find a link to a direct source for each item, but you know where to get them if interested.
Hope this helped you out for shopping inspiration on a budget. The only thing left to do for me is to have fun and pair everything now with what I already own!!
Have a fashionable fall and winter and thanx for stopping by!!

Trump's Indiana Win Sends Elizabeth Warren Into TOTAL PANIC MODE (TWEETS)
Now that Donald Trump won Indiana and has pretty much clinched the Republican nomination, the left's favorite fake Native American senator is having a total meltdown.
Twitchy rounded up some of her funniest tweets:
.@realDonaldTrump is now the leader of the @GOP. It's real – he is one step away from the White House.
— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma) May 4, 2016
Here's what else is real: @realDonaldTrump has built his campaign on racism, sexism, and xenophobia.
— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma) May 4, 2016
.@realDonaldTrump incites supporters to violence, praises Putin, and is "cool with being called an authoritarian."
— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma) May 4, 2016
That's a total lie, of course. The people causing violence at Trump rallies are radical leftists who probably just love Elizabeth Warren.
Then there was this historically inaccurate gem…
@elizabethforma @realDonaldTrump @allahpundit I wonder who Robert Byrd would have supported.
