Oh la la today's shoot is gorgeous in every way. Fantastic photographer Rin Nelson and a team of very clever peeps put together this pretty shoot, for some seriously delicious looking wedding (or post wedding) inspiration. I will let Rin tell you all about it…
"At the time I was residing in the United Arab Emirates as a western expat and for my annual return trip to Australia, wanted to do something especially creative with my sister Olivia from Olive Farm Designs. As weather can sometimes be unpredictable in Perth, we wanted to create a shoot that was both romantic and stylish using D.I.Y setups in a cosy and dreamy indoor setting. The idea behind our shoot was designed around the question – what comes after the morning of the wedding? Our answer was: cuddles, passion, tenderness, and wedding cake for breakfast! 🙂
We envisioned a newlywed couple waking up to their first morning as husband and wife in a honeymoon like setting, with some props from their wedding the day before still around them…her shoes, her bouquet and a fancy top tier from their wedding cake. At the time of the shoot, we were fortunate to find a real-life couple – Penelope S. and Luke – who fit the scene perfectly, displaying genuine love, affection and intimacy between each other the whole time.
We wanted to also incorporate the Pantone colour of that year into our shoot too which was radiant orchid, as well as add touches of gold while keeping the rest neutral. This came in the form of the ombre cake handmade by Nafessa from Cupcake Cravers and the gorgeous bouquet designed by Desi of Arabella's Creations. Since I was coming from the UAE where I had been so far living the last 2 years, I wanted to also include some Middle Eastern influences in the shoot, such as Arabic-looking lanterns which we sourced from Maeline of Wedding Day Flair and a romantic desert-like tent made out of lace. Both the tent, and the hairpiece were hand crafted and designed by my sister Olivia."

text: kt met with Residential Treatment Center (RTC) therapist & our regular psychiatrist. I don't know what was said during this mtg but kt bolted. She slammed the door before the mtg was over & ran. She's been on the run for 3 hours now - downtown. While kt is saavy in some ways she's at great risk in the area right now. Staff is out searching & making phone calls & the police have been called. Need the board's prayers, good thoughts, bead rattling, whatever that will keep kt safe & get her back to treatment or home if necessary.

Cost reduction is always a prime concern within the aerospace and defense (A&D) industry, from contracting companies to manufacturers. For many organizations, the solution is more simplistic than one might imagine.
I recently found a blog post by Lora Cecere written in what must have been a very difficult time for her. Her mother had just passed away and in the midst of all the somber activity of making the necessary arrangements, Lora found time to help a reader of her blog with a very difficult problem – overcoming corporate IT policies that force business users into using a single vendor (Oracle in this case) for all business planning.

With no time to watch live TV, I have to PVR it and then watch what I taped in the late hours of the night. And I am a big fan of 3 shows:
Big Brother
Americas Next Top Model
and Ru Pauls Drag Race!
So you can imagine my excitement when I heard that the creative team behind Pure Pride was about to throw a party in Calgary that would top last year's during Calgary Pride. This year it would include 'All-Star' drag performer Chad Michaels, the world's number 1 Cher impersonator.
Now, I don't scream for a lot of things… Ice Cream, maybe… but Chad Micheals, definitely!
Whether you've never seen a drag performance in your life, or whether you've seen hundreds, this is one you can't miss!
A few months ago I had the surprise opportunity to be in NYC when Chad performed at Escuelita Nightclub
I knew I liked what I saw on the TV, but in person, she was servin up a hot tuna melt, and it was delicious!
The event in Calgary WILL sell out in the next couple of days so don't mess around, last year there was a line up of people outside Flames Central and they weren't getting in!
The cost is $35 and you can purchase them HERE or at a few vendors around the city.
BUT for ONE lucky reader…
A VIP ticket into the event AND a Meet & Greet with Chad Michaels!
(and yes, I'll be there too if you want to meet me.)
You have 2 ways to enter;
#1 Tweet the Following:
I need to see @ChadMichaels1 live at the @PurePride party! http://wp.me/p1mskh-1K8 Make it happen @immrfabulous!
#2 Comment Below:
Tell me, "What's your favorite Cher song?"
Mine's 'Turn Back Time'
Winner will be randomly chosen and contest will close Monday night.
I can't wait to see Miss. Micheals serving up fishy Cher real-ness!!
Mr. Fab pride


text: Since I found this site I have been reading almost non-stop. It truly does seem like a wonderful place to land for a 'battle weary parent'. I tried to make a signature so hopefully it shows up. I really do feel like a zookeeper and don't know what I would do without husband. We were both divorced with kids when we met (me: 4 sons, him: 1 daughter) and our daughter is nine months old. The main 'difficult child' of the house is my 12yo son who has had a diagnosis of bi-polar for the past two years. husband has been incredibly supportive through everything that we have went through with him. At times he is violent and angry but at others he's a sweet, cooperative kid. He has had four hospitalizations, two in the last 6 months. Things have went downhill with him since the birth of our daughter. This past month we had to call 911 and have him transported to the ER because he was raging and he locked himself in the van before I could get the baby out of her car seat. husband had to break out one of the windows. She was not hurt and he none of his anger was directed at her but there is no describing how much that incident shook me. I blame myself because I was careless and should have had the keys on my person at all times and spare sets (in my purse in the van). He never went to that level before and he was discharged from the psychiatric hospital after two weeks. I tried to refuse taking him home until he was 100% stabilized but CPS threatned me with child abandonment and out of home placement for the rest of the kids. They said he was well enough to come home. He has been better and does feel ashamed, but we are all still on edge. They did agree to fund an in home therapist (which we had been fighting his caseworker for before this) twice a week and he also goes to a three hour long day program five days a week. husband has excepted a very good job out of state and we will be moving at the end of july. We have been in the same county all his life and am extremely anxious about having to start at square one. Has anyone had experience moving with a difficult child that is in need of these types of services? I am clueless to everything I should be doing to make the transition smooth. He likes the therapist that we're working with now and we are happy with the psychiatrist. Both are unfamiliar of other professionals within the state we are moving (colorado). The move is unavoidable. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for this being so long.

It's in the Mail
One of the keys to Impact's success is our distribution. Each issue is direct mailed quarterly via the U.S. Postal Service to over 57,705+ households and businesses in the Rapid City metro area. In fact, Impact is the only advertising vehicle in the area that provides 100% market penetration.
Ever wonder what kind of impact it would have on your business if you could get your message into every household and business in the Rapid City metro area? Think about it . . . your ad in every mailbox in the area. Now that's something to get excited about!
Because Impact is considered "Shared Mail," you get all the benefits that Solo Direct Mail advertising has to offer at a fraction of the cost.
In a recent postal customer survey, over 80% of consumers admit to reading or scanning the advertising mail they receive. Nearly 40% of consumers admit to trying a business for the first time based on a direct mail advertising solicitation, with 70% of consumers admitting that they had recently reestablished a business relationship because of direct mail advertising.
What is Shared Mail?
As the name suggests, Shared Mail is the combining of ads from multiple advertisers in a neatly bound, consumer–friendly magazine format that gives your product or service the professional, high profile look your business deserves. Combining your ad with other businesses in Impact Magazine allows you to "share" all of the expenses associated with a direct mail campaign, including printing, labeling and postage. At a fraction of the cost of a solo direct mail campaign, our clients reach more potential customers for less money.
If you've ever tried solo direct mail, you know that it's expensive. With Impact Magazine advertising you get the power of direct mail for a little as 1.1¢ per piece.

"Wait right there. I'll go and get you the balls!"
Three is in the props room for TV biker drama Sons of Anarchy, a small room nestled somewhere in a labyrinthine Los Angeles warehouse. The room's piled high with all manner of fascinating paraphernalia, all befitting the outlaw lifestyle that the show's narrative explores: there are stacks of pretty convincing fake greenbacks, an arsenal of knives (some rubber, some retractable and some very real), boxes of bullets, and a startlingly realistic rubber skateboard (which Katey Segal memorably used in the show's first series to twat a love rival across the bridge of the nose).
But prop master Bryan Rodgers — an amiable bear of a man who could easily pass for a biker himself — wants to go and get the crown jewels. Literally. He returns with, yes, balls — specifically, the testicles that were severed from a rapist early in the show's second episode. As Three touches them gingerly and ticks "handling a prosthetic scrotum" off our bucket list, Rodgers explains how they were made — with some sort of gelatin, apparently — and warns us that three years later, they're now starting to disintegrate. Which, indeed, they are, rather disconcertingly so. While we discreetly wipe gelatin ball-flesh onto a tablecloth, Rodgers moves onto a discussion of the prop room's other pride and joy — the sizzled torso that's hanging from the wall.
"We had a character who betrayed the club," he explains, "and the idea was that they gave him the option to either use a knife or flame to remove the club tattoo on his back. He opted for flame, so what we did was take a body cast of the actor… and created this device here and took a blowtorch to it."
Like the balls, the cast is made out of gelatin: "When we hit it with flame, it would sizzle, burn and then melt like skin would. The skin just started to slowly ooze down after we super-heated it. I got some calls from other prop masters, saying it was the most horrific thing they'd ever seen on television."
He beams. "We break ground on this show. We always push that envelope a little bit more."
* * * * *
There's something strangely compelling about spending a day in a place where nothing is real.
Perhaps it's just a vestige of youthful idealism, but Three always kinda assumed that in the context of TV, "sets" generally referred to the places where game shows and sitcoms were shot, fairly simple affairs with live studio audiences and such. So it's mildly jolting to discover that apart from the scenes that absolutely require location shots — exteriors that can't be recreated, along with the sequences involving motorcycles and roads, basically — Sons of Anarchy is created entirely within the confines of this nondescript warehouse in North Hollywood. Everything is artificial, from the macro (like the huge compound where the titular motorcycle gang has its headquarters) to the micro (like, y'know, severed testicles).
Three is here at the warehouse today to take a look around, basically — in anticipation of the release of the show's second series on Australian TV, we've been invited here to tour the sets and, hopefully, see some of the action being filmed (they're about halfway through shooting the show's fourth season). The man showing us the ropes is one Anthony Medina, a veteran production designer who also worked on Sutter's previous project The Shield. Medina is an engaging and insightful host, and spends a good hour leading us patiently from set to set.
Curiously enough, he tells us, the decision to construct an entire world here in North Hollywood is as much an economic decision as it is an aesthetic one: "If we have to go to a real location and shoot that many times, and take the whole company out there, that gets very expensive. If I can build that set here, we can pull walls [for better camera angles], and have fake elevators, and shoot around the clock if we have to… it's a lot more inexpensive. Building some of this stuff [gestures at the faux-hospital we're standing in] can be expensive, but in the big picture, it's the much more inexpensive way to go."
It has to be said that the job he and his crew do is pretty amazing. You'd never guess it from the street — the place looks like every warehouse in this somewhat sketchy part of the San Fernando Valley, and the only hint that the place isn't being used to house imported furniture or Chinese smallgoods is the security guard on the front gate and the motorbikes in the staff parking spots. Once you're inside, though, you find yourself in something that's for all intents and purposes another world.
This sounds like a horrible Hollywood cliché, but it's honestly true — step into the warehouse and you enter the fictional world of Sons of Anarchy, a world that's arranged in a series of intersecting sets and dark, dusty corridors. The experience is mildly surreal — you find yourself walking out of a startlingly realistic hospital corridor into a sheriff's station that's straight out of Twin Peaks. A left turn takes you to the jail interview room that crops up periodically in the show — a place that also, amusingly, doubles as the actors' lunch room. And then there's the Sons of Anarchy clubhouse, instantly familiar to anyone who's watched the show.
Unfortunately, our fantasies of getting into the clubhouse, hanging out with the crew, and maybe playing a game of pool with Ron Perlman… well, they turn out to be overly optimistic. It turns out that the whole place is on tenterhooks today, perhaps because notoriously volatile show creator Kurt Sutter is a) here and b) apparently not at all happy about the amount of leaks that have been emerging from Sons of Anarchy HQ in recent weeks.
As a result, the whole set has an aura of… not chaos, exactly, but organised franticness. Venturing in here feels like walking into an ant colony or something — we're greeted with at best indifference and at worst genuine suspicion by the crew members who swarm around us as we creep from set to set. It's fascinating just how many people are involved in the shooting process: there's a battalion of grips and key grips and best boys and gaffers and large men with esoteric toolbelts, all of whom freeze and stand in dead silence the instant that a fire alarm-like bell rings to indicate that a take is being shot — then resume whatever they were doing as soon as the bell rings again.
The closest we get to a direct look through the fourth wall is a scene involving Perlman and co-star Theo Rossi — we last about five seconds before being shooed by a boom mic-wielding crewman back to the small room where the director is watching the action on an intimidatingly complex console that seems to feature about eight monitors and a myriad of arcane controls. We do, however, have time to note that there appears to be a designated cigar-lighting dude on set, whose express purpose seems to be to relight Perlman's trademark Cohiba before every single take. Continuity's a bitch, eh?
"The challenge is not to let our TV show look like a lot TV shows," Medina whispers as we watch Perlman puffing away from a bewildering array of different angles. "That's a hard thing to understand if you're not working on TV shows the whole time, but for me, there's a lot of things I see in TV shows that's always the same. A lot of signage is always the same. I don't like the idea that you start a scene looking at a sign, say, and then tell that story. It's a very typical TV thing. That's my challenge: every time I look at a set, I ask myself how I can avoid those things. Because in the real world, things aren't like that. And we're supposed to be real."
* * * * *
From our limited experience of bikies (which amounts to a large bearded man once waving a very large shotgun at us for overtaking him on the Great Ocean Road), Three imagines that you'd want to dot your i's and cross your t's when displaying their world on film.
As we step out of the warehouse and head back to the auto repair shop that doubles as the gang's legitimate business front on film, and today as journalistic home base, Medina explains his research process: "When I started the show, I went with a couple of motorcycle clubs on my own, and went on a couple of runs with them. I wanted to spend a lot of time with them, just seeing who they are and how they react to certain things and how they feel, what the group is. And I just paid attention to a lot of little details."
The shop we're sitting in certainly feels entirely authentic — you half expect a grease-covered man to emerge from the office to ask you which car is yours, and then present you with a list of reasons why you're going to have to shell out $1000 for a roadworthy certificate. Perhaps the most striking thing is that despite the fact that the place feels old — there's stuff everywhere, dust and grease on the floor… It even smells like a mechanic's. The attention to detail is very, very impressive. "You really can only do that," agrees Medina, "from going into a lot of auto repair shops and just looking around."
Once the initial research is done, it's a process of getting to know the characters — ultimately, Medina says, it's the writers' vision of the characters' personalities that defines their environment, and for him, the production designer's job is to realize this environment. "It always starts with a script," he says. "[Kurt] gives me the storyline of who our people are, where they come from, how much money they make… Personal character stuff, you know? Like, 'This is his age, this is where he comes from, these are the neighbourhoods he grew up in, this is how much money he spends on alcohol…' Just to get a sense of who these people are."
We move back into the shop's office to discuss an interesting trend in recent years, whereby a series of prominent film actors have moved into regular roles on television — and, specifically, cable television (Sons of Anarchy airs on US cable channel FX). Indeed, Sons of Anarchy itself has well-respected character actor Perlman as its marquee name. Medina says that working in cable television also allows a similar level of freedom from a production design point of view. "On US network TV," he explains, "you can't swear, you can't show blood… This [Sons of Anarchy] would never work." Echoing Rodgers' sentiments, he says that the idea of pushing the creative envelope is important for both he and the show's creator: "Our background, our actors, our wardrobe, our make-up… It's all together. It has to be [because] if one's off, it bumps on the whole show."
And the ultimate test: has there been any feedback from actual genuine outlaw biker types?
"All the time," chuckles Medina. "All the time. I've made a lot of good friends in biker clubs."
And they like the show?
"Oh, yeah. When I can, I get them on the show, just to pepper in more realism. They've actually given me a lot of their own personal photographs from living in that life, they signed over release to me and Fox so that I can actually show them. So a lot of these things you see [waves around the office], they're all real."

Director of Strategic Initiatives and Communication
Sonja brings collaborative experience to the GSDC from previous executive positions held in private business and higher education. She has earned a Master's Degree in psychology and a Doctorate in education. Sonja's role at GSDC is to manage the strategic initiatives projects and oversee communication for the corporation.
According to Sonja, "I enjoy making decisions that will support the long-term success of the organization. I also enjoy wearing many hats, which goes with the territory in a fledgling enterprise. I especially like being where the action is and having the opportunity to meet and work with some of the finest leaders in the region."
Outside the GSDC office, Sonja can be found tending her flower gardens and training for the North Shore Inline Marathon, a mid-September race that extends 26.2 miles between Two Harbors and Duluth, Minn. Fueled by a competitive streak, Sonja's annual goal is to better her time from the previous year.
"When I'm not working I love spending time with my husband, Tim Worms, and our teenage daughter, Isabel," Sonja said. "This time usually amounts to supporting and cheering for Izzy at her many school and sporting events, including volleyball, basketball, track and band. At this stage in our lives, Tim and I spend quite a lot of time sitting on bleachers and filling water bottles – and loving every minute of it." As well as cheering on their daughter, Sonja and Tim own a wood manufacturing business in Paynesville, Minn. called Woodmax.
Sonja and her family proudly eat lutefisk every Christmas Eve in honor of their Swedish ancestry. Though Sonja is American-born, her father emigrated from Sweden at the age of 23 as did her maternal grandmother at the age of 17. "There is no escaping the lutefisk tradition in my family," she said.

Work Hard, Play Hard: The Benefits of Leisure and Recreation
Do you play as hard as you work? Or do you use every extra minute your life allows you in the pursuit of finishing one of your many to do lists? Many of us confuse the definition of "off-time" and never truly realize the benefits of leisure and recreation. A prevailing social assumption is that play and recreation detract from social productivity; however this is definitely the wrong attitude to have. Playing as hard as you work can actually have major benefits to your health and well being.
Benefits of Leisure and Recreation
Physical Health and Fitness – One of the most obvious benefits of leisure and recreation is the effect it has on your physical health. Indulging in off hours recreation like sports and other aerobic exercise has a wonderful effect and provides many benefits to your cardio vascular systems as well as a reduction in probability of spinal problems.
Mental Health and Well Being – Another nice benefit of leisure and recreation is that is helps you cope with your daily stresses. Relaxing your body and mind reduces tension, anxiety and leads to a better general attitude.
Family Time and Bonding – Utilize your free time and enjoy the benefits of leisure and recreation with your family. Used properly your off time can give you much needed time with your family doing fun, enjoyable activities that will help you bond and strengthen your relationships.
In addition to those listed above, if you are looking for more reasons to indulge in a little fun don't forget the economic development and environmental awareness benefits of leisure and recreation. The more you play, your body, soul and family relationships will benefit. You will feel better while contributing to the economy and learning about your environment, all good reasons to work hard, play hard and enjoy your day when you can!

More: All ExpertsPaediatrician Expert's Reply A.Paediatrician This is not rejection it is just a phase that your son is going through. Be patient and continue to behave just as you are doing with your son.You are showing him lots of love and that always pays off in the end. Your son will soon turn his attention more towards you. In the meantime take a few tips from his grandfather and see if there is something that he is doing that keeps your son amused and makes him so keen to be in his company.

Posted by: Purple | 2009/12/23 Its not really rejection - he doesn' t have enough knowledge to do something willfull like that.If you carry on spending tmie with him like you do, you will form a special bond as time goes on and have a good relationship.Grandparents are special to children - they have more patience than parents, they stress less about the little things - because they' ve seen it all before and they do different things with children and aren' t involved in the " eat your vegetables, wash that mud off" squabbles parents have to be.Keep on doing what you are doing and as with any relationship, it grows with time. It' s also not rejection when your son turns 4 and starts yelling that he hates you every time you tell him he can' t do something. It' s normal, just respond that you love him - and move on.

My thoughts on MGTOW
I only recently heard about MGTOW (men going their own way). At first, I was led to believe that it's about men wanting to stay single for various reasons (because of financial reasons, because they're not interested in sex etc). Instead, what I found in most of these videos is men bitching about gold diggers. So far so good, but then they enter into all this sophistry about history, gender, and culture. And while they do so, they betray their ignorance and vitriol. Needless to say, the sexism and double-standards are obvious. Guess a lot of people want to "Make women great again", when men controlled women's vaginas. They think that the biology of women is somehow incompatible with societal tranquility. Ironically, these people seek to bring back the patriarchal system, while at present, the patriarchal marriage and alimony laws are the things that are fucking them in the ass so badly. Just look at Dave Foley. His account shows clearly the inequity of these laws.

Gift Ideas for Friends
Everybody has a special group of people they enjoy hanging around with and having fun. We often weave special bonds of friendship with these people over the years. We share their sorrows and joys and they share ours. It is therefore normal to want to give presents to our friends on occasions that are special to them. Like all gift-giving, your choice should be tailored to the the person who will be receiving the gift and to the occasion for which the gift will be given.
Because they are friends, our gifts can be funny or unusual but in any case they have to be special. Here are some nice gift ideas for friends.

So I had this problem where people give me speeches on how I should NOT have a type or prefrence when it comes to dating
Im mainly attracted to white guys. I like the blond (or brown) hair, blue eyed look. I'm attracted to that most of the time. It's not that I refuse to date anyone else. If I met a guy who I'm attracted to with a great personality I would go out with them. I just like lighter features on guys, especially with eye color
Also if a guy is my type, but has a bad personality I would never go out with him...
People (mainly guys) have called me names for this. It's starting to bother me.
1) is it so bad to have a type?
2) why do people care if you have a type?
I just think we can't help who you are attracted to
Most Helpful Guy
No you don't really sound shallow. Your just looking for an attraction what's I think most people do on both sides guys and girls. You just know what you want attraction wise and personality wise it seems, however since you have in narrowed down you'll just have to wait until what your looking for walks into your life. Me personally, I think personality is the most important but I also look for someone I'm attracted to, but I'm attracted to a lot of types of girls but they need to have the personality I'm looking for which is what I seem to be more picky with.00|00|0
Sorry for my spelling mistakes, I typed fast and didn't read it over, hopefully you made sense out of that!

It was good enough. Don't get down! :) mistakes are perfection, and perfection is a mistake
If I was going for perfection when it comes to spelling and grammar, I've already lost before I started! I just don't like reading something I wrote and realizing it doesn't make sense because I somehow put a word in there that doesn't belong and I DO IT AL THE TIME! Ok, I'm done, I'm not getting down, I'm smiling see :)

A Melbourne mother who helped her nephew rape her 12-year-old daughter by holding her legs may be out of jail in less than a year. The woman, who cannot be named to protect the identity of the victim, was sentenced in the Victorian County Court on Friday to a maximum of four years jail, with a minimum of two years. The mother and nephew were in an incestuous sexual relationship when the offending started in 2011, the court heard. READ MORE HERE

Running a startup has become a very popular idea these days. In the last decade, the term 'entrepreneurship' has become one the "cool" fads for people to talk about and it has most definitely sold a lot of lies. Being a startup founder and entrepreneur is tough, whether you're in the Silicon Valley or in some small town out of Arkansas.
Success in business and specifically in the competitive tech startup marketplace is a mental battle. With so many things going against you, you have to stay positive and maintain and attitude that will allow you to charge forward at all costs. Here are 5 mindsets that all startup founders must embrace:
1. It's a marathon, not a sprint
Winning in business is not about the short term. Year 1 results do no matter, nor do years 2 or 3. What's important is that the company is growing and making progress each and every day. Successful startup founders go in with the mindset that amazing things are not going to happen quickly. It takes work, it takes patience and most of all it takes persistence.
If Steve Jobs and Bill Gates had been in the game for just a quick sprint, think about how different our world would be. How about Thomas Edison? Would our world still lack electricity if he had only planned on trying 3-4 times, instead of 10,000 times? Something to think about as you build a business and are hustling everyday.
2. I can't do it by myself
A big problem that many solo entrepreneurs have including myself, is that they feel they can do everything them self. Why would they bother paying someone or spending the time looking for partners if they can quickly and easily do it themselves?
The reason is because 1) You don't have time to do everything yourself if you expect to build a big business. Eventually, you have to leverage other people's time and 2) You're not good at very many things.
What I mean by that second item, is that you probably only have a select few strengths, and it takes more than that to run a business. There are a lot of moving pieces to a startup and the sooner you can find experts and competent people to handle certain aspects of the company, the less mistakes will be made and the more things will grow.
Start thinking of how you can leverage other people's time to create more revenue and growth.
3. Things change, and adjusting is necessary
Just because you started your company to solve one problem or serve a particular customer, does not mean it will always be that way. In today's world, things are changing so rapidly that you have constantly be in audit mode. You have to look at the market and see what's happening on a consistent basis and then adjust accordingly.
For instance, one of my first projects was helping businesses market themselves on Twitter. While this is still a need in the online marketing world, things have changed and it has forced me to adapt into other platforms, such as Facebook and Instagram marketing. Now I help businesses with multiple forms of online marketing and it has allowed me to take on bigger clients than I was able to before.
4. The customer is always right
This is one we've all heard before, right? Well, as billionaire Dallas Maverick's owner Mark Cuban says, "When you get a customer, they own you!"
How about that for a statement from a billionaire?! This is someone who has all the power in the world and he's talking about being owned by your customers. If that doesn't tell you to get your customer service up to speed, I don't know what will.
5. I have only failed when I stop trying
There are going to be a lot of set backs on your journey as an entrepreneur. Heck, I've only been on the journey for a couple years and I feel like I've hit every roadblock along the way. But I also know that each time I hit a set back, I had to ask myself, "Is this the end, or is this just a transition?" So far, I've hit quite a few transitions but have not dared to say the Q word yet (Quit).
As long as you keep pumping forward you have not failed yet. Take these tips and get started on building your own startup or lifestyle business!

Shortly after her arrival at the Banks household, Mary Poppins chided Jane and Michael for making a "pie crust promise — easily made, easily broken."
I feel the same way about New Year's resolutions. They're flaky, a delectable characteristic in pastry, but a crumbled mess in business.
Life is better with pie. Business is better without resolutions.
Your business — your career — benefit from decisions and the thoughtful planning and goal-setting required to see them through.
Today, I will be eating pie — a vegetarian version of a French Canadian meat pie my mom made every year — and pondering KOTAW's future in 2015 and beyond.
I will ask myself a lot of questions. These are not new questions — I ask them often and my answers are usually pretty much the same at the beginning of any month or the end of any year. But I learn something different every time I raise these questions, and they prompt me to correct mistakes, change my strategy or push harder on neglected goals.
The questions inspire me to take specific action, not make vague promises. My internal Q & A challenges me and, in the hope of challenging you to a happier, more prosperous year, here are three of my favorites:
1. What do you want to be known for?
If people read your blog, talk about you in social media or engage your services, what do you want them to remember about you?
Do you want to be remembered as the how-to-guy or the list-making gal? Do you cherish the role of instructor or organizer? If so, tutorial-style blogs and checklist-style Hangouts on Air are for you.
But, if you're how to-ing and list-making just because you read an infographic that cited the statistical popularity of these tactics, stop!
Trends come and go — rapidly in digital marketing — and following the crowd serves a purpose only if you want to head in the same direction.
But maybe you'd rather do something that would get the crowd to follow you. It's hard to be best at something everyone else is already doing.
Consider excelling at something no one can do better than you.
2. Are the sacrifices you're making worthwhile?
Almost every successful career — and certainly every growing business — demands giving up some of the things you love and doing at least a few things you hate.
But how many trade-offs are you making every day and do they really help you reach your long-term goals?
Are you working until midnight because you're having too much fun to stop, because you're on a deadline project for an important client or because you're afraid that your business will wither and die while you dine with friends or take your kids to the park?
If your work excites you and you know it's helping you achieve a specific goal, the hours fly by and you sometimes need to be reminded to eat, drink and sleep. For as long as you have the passion and stamina, the extra hours make sense.
But, if you're tired, stressed and depressed and still putting in 18-hour days, listen to your body and brain. When the joy ends, so does productivity.
Go out and find some joy. Work can — and should — wait until you do.
3. Where's the magic?
"We make branding magic" is part of the KOTAW tagline, not just because I think it's catchy, but because I believe there's something mysterious and wondrous about branding and about all creative endeavors.
And I believe — insist — that every endeavor includes a creative element.
If I could easily define genius branding or great writing, I'd find them boring. And I have a very low threshold for boredom.
I try to sprinkle a bit of magic dust on everything I do, including routine emails, monthly status reports and household chores.
And, if I can't, I speed my way through them. Or forget about them. My brain filters out things I don't find interesting.
Fifteen years ago, I was hired to write a book about how to pass the CPA exam. I knew nothing about accounting but, to prepare for the project, I studied for and took the test — and passed it on the first try. Two weeks after I finished writing the book, I'd forgotten at least half of what I'd studied. The magic — the challenge of achieving a difficult intellectual feat — had died.
If you've got magic in your business life, hold onto it — it's your most precious asset. If you don't — if you've never had it or it's slipped away — go find it.
Include a dose of Mary Poppins in your 2015 business marketing strategy. Get the job done, but include an element of fun.
And, for good measure, add a spoonful of sugar, too.
When I need magic, I find it by telling stories. I told a dozen stories in December, and each is a source of inspiration as I begin the new year. I will be rereading them today and, since magic is meant to be shared, I've included the stories below.
Have a happy, magical New Year!!
♥, Katherine
12 Days of KOTAW: All Wrapped Up!
On the first day of KOTAW, Katherine gives to you…
"You don't have to be a skilled storyteller to captivate an audience with a story you care about. Passion sells better than the glitziest marketing campaign. Become a champion of your brand, and your enthusiasm will drive sales."
On the Second day of KOTAW, Katherine gives to you…
Put Your Stories To The Sniff Test
"If you're writing and publishing content just for the sake of achieving some arbitrary quota for quantity, stop. Bad content will soon go the way of bad links — it will harm you and your company. Write fewer, better stories. Aim for a single, perfect butter tart, not a platter of stale cookies."
On the third day of KOTAW, Katherine gives to you…
Break Free From Your Personal Branding Corset
"Here's my loosely-wrapped gift to you: You must bother with personal branding — it is no longer optional — but there are personal branding strategies to fit anyone's style."
On the fourth day of KOTAW, Katherine gives to you…
Rebekah Radice: Christmas (or Lou Grant) in July
"Do whatever it takes — for as long as it takes — to find your own success in social media. The only connections that count are the ones that matter to you. Don't give up on social media. Put my theory to the test and you'll discover, You're gonna make it after all."
On the fifth day of KOTAW, Katherine gives to you…
Are You Putting Your Brand Reputation To Sleep?
"Your brand is a promise. And your brand reputation depends on how well you keep that pledge. Don't put your promises to sleep: it will kill your brand."
On the sixth day of KOTAW, Katherine gives to you…
To Make Your Logo (and Business) Shine, Reach for the Star
"Every big company started out small. Every great company started out poor. But the biggest and best shone because of their stars. You will never find the best talent, the best people unless you reach out to them. Don't wait for stars to fall from the sky."
On the seventh day of KOTAW, Katherine gives to you…
Repurposed Content: Heartfelt Gift or a Fruitcake Idea?
"If the blog you wrote honestly serves a new purpose as a slide share, video or list, go for it. But, if you're just slicing and dicing content to make it spread farther, don't!"
On the eighth day of KOTAW, Katherine gives to you…
Want Your Brand to Grow? Let it Snow!
"When you are defining or building your brand, a good strategist will tell you to focus on such things as your audience, your target market and your goals. A great brand strategist will do all this and teach you how to imbue your brand with the indefinable but essential ingredient to marketing success: magic."
On the ninth day of KOTAW, Katherine gives to you…
Jingle Your Way to Personal Branding Success
"Your personal brand is more — far more — than your list of accomplishments. Clients may be impressed by your flawless credentials, but they will remember your name — and hire you — because of your imperfections. Go ahead. Get silly. It will be seriously good for your personal brand."
On the tenth day of KOTAW, Katherine gives to you…
California Dreamin' on a KOTAW Winter's Day
"Whatever you learned about social media last winter — or last month — may be as useless as a car battery that sits in sub-zero temperatures overnight. The website that was cutting edge two years ago may now look as appealing as curbside slush."
On the eleventh day of KOTAW, Katherine gives to you…
Reindeer Games, Your Brand and the Pit Bull Challenge
"This is my New Year's challenge to you: Imagine that you or your company were a Pit Bull. What would you do to redeem your brand? What will you do to build or bolster your brand in 2014 before a competitor, an unhappy client or a calamitous event tears it down?"
On the twelfth day of KOTAW, Katherine gives to you…
Ornamental Advice for Solid Business Success
"Success is like my ornament collection. You must seek it, grow it and protect it. Reach out to the highest branches to get what you want, but be willing to wait for what's really important."

I'm back again before the weekend begins with another card for the current CRUNCH challenge over at CASology! I just couldn't resist! This is such a fun cue word! I had some lovely craft time this morning with DD and we had a ton of fun!
I used Lawn Fawn's adorable Donut Worry set along with the coordinating Donut Worry Lawn Cut die to create this appetizing clean & simple design! Who doesn't like a donut with colorful sprinkles?!
The main panel is die cut with My Favorite Things' Wonky Stitched Rectangle Die-Namics. I stamped and die cut the trio of donuts first and then colored each one with Copic markers. I added colorful sprinkles to one of them using different colors of Stickles. The fun sentiment is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Both the main panel and trio of donuts are popped up with foam dots for dimension.

How Does a Cosmetic Identification Program Function?
Man has developed to become the most brilliant being on the earth. The systems and programs designed by him are complicated.
However, they can achieve a endeavor that needs many people hands, single handedly. It is natural for you to come across extremely innovative models that can carry out delicate projects easily in day to day life.
One such product that helps people initiatives is the facial recognition method. It is the best means present to confirm identification and secure a principle from criminals. It is a very designed method and features by checking the unique and lasting facial features of the individual. High reliability in identification confirmation is confirmed by its companies. Its working can be as given below:
*The facial recognition method is set up at any entry way of the principle. The terminal device and the digicam are set up at the entry way. Data source can be kept in the same PC or in the middle hosting server.
*The approved people are required to register themselves into the method present day. It is considered that there are 80 nodal information on the deal with. Few of these nodal information are read by the method. E.g. the range between the two face, nasal area and face, time the mouth, etc. They are unique for every individual and continue to be the same throughout their life.
*This geometric framework of the deal with is saved in the database as deal with layouts. The framework of the deal with, with regards to nodal information, involves information and is saved in the database as deal with layouts of the individual by the facial recognition product.
*Whenever the individual seems to be before the digicam, next time let's start, he will be acknowledged by the method. His current facial features are read with regards to nodal information. These facial information are counted with all the deal with layouts saved in the database. If the individual is signed up, the facial framework is sure to go with with one of the layouts saved.
*When the deal with framework is found corresponding with one of the layouts saved, the deal with is considered determined. Details that are saved corresponding to the design sensations on the screen and the identification of the individual making the purchase is founded.
This is how a common facial recognition product works. No two people have the same facial framework, not even similar twin babies. Hence, it is very challenging for the method to problem on its own. Since the method tests the unique and lasting nodal information of the deal with, it is very challenging to deceive the method either. Its use is improving consistently and is predicted to develop further in the long run.

text: I have a question about those shipper release packages that pop up with the message about leave w/o signature. I think they have PP in the middle of the tracking number. Anyways I thought that these packages were not insured and we wouldn't pay any claims on them if the customer ended up not getting it? Our center has started getting alot of DDFU's for these type of packages and it seems weird that if we aren't going to pay a claim, and charged them a lower price to deliver the package with the assumption the driver would only go by once, UPS would then have us go by the address several times trying to get the follow up signed.

¡Hola and welcome!
I'm María José. That's Spanish for Mary Jo.
I'm a Chilean living in the Washington, D.C. area, a communications professional (MA in Public Relations and Public Communications from the University of Westminster, UK) actor and mamá of three — 4 year old and 8 month old girls and an 8 year old boy. I live my life in English and Spanish and I am raising my children bilingual and bicultural. Don't let their blonde hair and blue eyes fool you ¡ellos hablan español!
This site focuses on motherhood, family, personal style and beauty — with humor. All women, no matter their size, budget or time constraints should look and feel their best, always!
I make funny videos which I'm pretty sure my kids will hate me for in a few years as well as going on local TV speaking on any of the given topics from this blog. Oh and every once in a while, someone will ask me to be a speaker at a conference.
Lastly, I have my own media business and I manage social media channels for various clients. You never know, I could be on the other side of that tweet!
Every post and video on this site whether sponsored or otherwise is 100% produced, created and approved by me. Here you get the real deal and in the process you might learn some Spanish too.
A few reminders now that I have you here:
- I ADORE what I do. This is creativity at is freest. This is my business, my job and my livelihood.
- DO NOT ask me to work for free or for exposure. Those do not pay our rent or fill the car with gas. I wouldn't dare ask you to do PR for me for without pay.
- I have a love-hate relationship with food and the kitchen. I do not do any food/recipe content. I've tried and I just can't.
- I have over 10 years of PR, writing and content creating experience and it's with the same professionalism that I approach my brand and this blog.
¡Gracias! for taking the time to read this and I look forward to hearing from you.

Mechanisms of Asymmetric Cell Division during Female Meiosis
Meiosis is a process by which animals, plants and fungi reduce chromosome number four-fold to produce haploid gametes. In females of both plants and animals, only one of four sets of chromosomes segregated during meiosis is inherited by a gamete. In animals, this asymmetric inheritance is mediated by asymmetric meiotic spindle positioning and highly asymmetric cell divisions that yield a large haploid egg. We are interested in the mechanisms that mediate these asymmetric divisions and utilize C. elegans because both meiotic divisions can be filmed in utero using fluorescent protein fusions and time-lapse imaging. We use a combination of classical genetics, RNAi and biochemistry to elucidate the roles of proteins that regulate microtubule-based motility, microtubule organization and microtubule dynamics in meiotic cell division.

1/4 tsp. Ground black pepper
1/4 tsp. Salt
Juice of 1 to 2 lemons
If broiling, place the eggplant face down on a baking pan. Preheat the broiler and, when ready, roast the eggplant beneath the heat until the skin crackles when touched and the flesh is tender. (Alternatively, grill the eggplant over an open fire for 7 to 10 minutes on each side, until the skin chars and the flesh is tender), let cool slightly.
Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl combine the remaining ingredients. Set aside until the eggplants are ready. When the eggplants have cooled, peel off the black skin. Coarsely chop the flesh and add to Tahini mixture. Place the mixture in a blender or food processor fitted with a steel blade and process until smooth. (For a chunky consistency, mash the mixture by hand). Serve warm or chilled as vegetable dip, sandwich spread or with Pita bread.
Serve 4 to 6.
Olive Tahini Sauce
