Irresistible Love
Non Stop Charm
I sit and go to type and you are in my face
I love you so much but you have to give me some space
I put you down after I kiss you over and over again and tell you how much I love you
Instantly you hop like the Easter Bunny back on my lap
I hold you close and remind you how much I care
But I want to do this and I can't if you are here
You walk across the key board and try to head butt the screen
Now you have gone to far I have to put you down
I drop you down and your legs bounce right back like a snow storm in my face
I feel your happiness but there has to be a limit
You are really clingy and you keep turning your body around
I have tried everything to calm you down
I have fed you and made sure you have fresh water
I cleaned out your litter box so you can go first class
Everything I have tried doesn't seem to last
I rub you under your chin
You begin to snuggle in
I rub your belly
You roll to one side like jelly
I scratch behind your ears
You purr like crazy
You stretch out on my arm
Using all your cat charm
You start kneeding me as if you are going to settle in for the night
I give up you just love me too much
I am convinced there is nothing I can do
To make her leave me alone so I can write and relax
Each time I try something different she loves it more and more than the last
After an hour tired of trying to figure her out
I give up and stopped typing again
This is one of those days where I get nothing done
I crumble like a coffee cake
If it is love you want then that is what you will get
I stopped everything else and gave her my full attention
Within a minute she jumped down and left me alone
I don't know what changed her mind
Unless she got board with me
I pampered her from head to toe
She knows
Getting constant love and living it up large
You wore me out now I am shutting down going to bed
While you curl on the floor next to me
As pretty as can be
I am exhausted can't you see
Time for bed
I'll race you into the bedroom instead
I love this! At least I know I'm not alone when I drop everything for my babies. Thanks
I don't own a cat, but I have a small dog and I know that feeling you love them with all your heart,but sometimes you just wanna scream.
You have a wonderful time with your cat! I miss mine. God bless!
A very nice poem you've written, I'm guessing it's your cat. Aren't they adorable, especially when you are busy at the computer :) Good luck next time.

Common Fiduciary Challenges – Part 1 In my capacity as a professional advisor who consults regularly with plan sponsors, there are some common challenges with plan administration that I frequently encounter when a new client is referred to me. In this article, I will attempt to outline some of the most common deficiencies and what a plan sponsor can do to address them in the most effective manner.
Not having a prudent process to select and monitor investment options
Plan sponsors have a responsibility to ensure that their employees have a competitive mix of investment options to choose from in a defined contribution plan. In order to make certain that plan sponsors are able to meet this requirement in an efficient manner, it is useful to have a written process outlining how investment options will be chosen and monitored. An excellent tool with which plan sponsors can use to detail this prudent process is an Investments Policy Statement (IPS).
An Investments Policy Statement details how the plan will select and monitor the investment options that are available for participants to choose from. The IPS will typically detail the criteria with which these investment options will be reviewed. A typical selection criterion may include:
- Performance relative to a manager's peer group over a certain period of time
- Performance relative to an appropriate index
- A fund's expense ratio relative to it's peer group
- Various methods of evaluating a funds risk adjusted returns such as Sharpe Ratio or Alpha
- The tenure of the manager or team of managers for the fund
- Style consistency - do the underlying holdings of the fund match the stated investment style of that portfolio?
There are many other criteria that are reasonable and could be used to evaluate a particular investment option. Some criteria that plan sponsors may want to consider included in their evaluation process can be found in another article on this blog - Selecting and Monitoring Mutual Funds. The key is to have a reasonable or prudent process and to follow that process.
Not following your stated process for evaluating investment options
Sometimes plan sponsors will have a reasonable, prudent process outlined for selecting and monitoring investment options. Many times, plan sponsors have even prepared detailed Investment Policy Statements when their retirement plan was established. However, if you're going to have a written process for evaluating managers, it's important that you follow the stated process and , are able to document that you've done so.
Plan fiduciaries must monitor their plans investment options on a regular and ongoing basis. This can be challenging for plan sponsors simply because of how busy the typical executive in a small or midsized company is. Regrettably, being busy does not eliminate the responsibility.
Not documenting that you have followed your stated process for evaluating money managers
As with many things in business, particularly from a regulatory standpoint, if it's not written down it didn't happen. As a plan sponsor, you may at some point be challenged about an investment decision that you made. If that time ever comes, being able to demonstrate in writing, that you have followed a prudent process may be critical.
Unfortunately many times, plans sponsors who have carefully monitored the performance of their plans investment options have no evidence that they have in fact done so. Retirement plan fiduciaries are therefore encouraged to maintain records confirming decisions that they made with respect to plan investment options. Records could include due diligence reports prepared for investment options in the plan or minutes from investment committee meetings.
The key is, being able to prove that you did what you said you were going to do from an investment monitoring standpoint? Are you able to prove that you followed your prudent process?
In part two of this series, we will continue to explore some common fiduciary challenges and how plan sponsors can most easily address them. A sample of an Investment Policy Statement, which we use in our practice, can be found at this link on our Resources page. We have also provided a link to a sample Due Diligence Report that has been designed to coordinate with our sample Investment Policy Statement.

I love music and really love guitars. Unfortunately, God didn't bless me with a singing voice, or even much in the way of rhythm. That hasn't stopped me from trying to play guitar for over 45 years. What God has given me is the ability to use my hands and tools to create some pretty nice guitars. I don't build these guitars for money, instead I build them for people whom I care deeply about. I want all of my guitars to be labors of love and the guitar that I have built for the Kellie Rynn Academy is especially close to my heart.
Mike and Kitzi Craig are neighbors who are very dear to us. Through that relationship, I knew their daughter Kathryn, and her husband Ashley, Kellie Rynn's parents. My wife and I celebrated with them when Kellie Rynn was born and then shared their pain, heartbreak and tears when their beautiful baby girl died in a tragic way. When they started to raise money for the Kellie Rynn Academy, the plan for Kellie Rynn's guitar began to form. I wanted to build this guitar to show our love for their family and to help them raise funds for Kellie Rynn Academy.
Building a guitar is an expensive proposition. The materials for this guitar cost well over $1,200.00. To help me with the cost, and to allow them to share in this gift to the Craig/Martin family, I asked neighbors if they would like to help with the cost. As I knew they would, they bought into the project in a big way and have been following the progress of the guitar over the last several months.
Edwin McCain is one of my favorite singer-songwriters. His hit songs include "I'll Be" and "I Could Not Ask for More". Edwin is known for helping out with charitable causes in Greenville, so I reached out to him to see if he would help out with this project. I originally had hoped that he would collaborate in the design, but instead he gave me this advice, "You are the builder, build the guitar that wants to be born." So that is just what I did. It was really cool when Edwin came over to play the first complete song on Kellie Rynn's guitar and lend his autograph to the cause. The songs that he played on Kellie Rynn's Guitar were the most beautiful music "I have ever made".
I took Edwin's advice. I selected some beautiful Goncalo Alves wood for the top and sides. This is a highly patterned wood with both light and dark shades that swirl together. This light and dark pattern gave birth to the theme of the guitar that "wanted to be born". The theme is "From darkness, light". I used black binding with cream accent continuing the theme. The guitar top is Sitka Spruce. The headstock veneer is book matched Hawaiian Koa that I brought home from Hawaii after searching through a stack of Koa in the attic of a lumber store on Kauai. To set all of this off, I installed Abalone purfling around the rim of the guitar and around the sound hole. I chose Abalone because, well, it is just really beautiful.
I am now having a blast getting many different musicians to play Kellie Rynn's guitar to help us promote the raffle.

Are you seeking clear vision in the Harrisburg or Lemoyne areas? Would you like to reduce or even eliminate your dependence on glasses or contact lenses? Let the experienced doctors at Schein Ernst Mishra Eye show your your vision correction options. Whether it be LASIK laser vision correction, or an alternative vision correction procedure, Schein Ernst Mishra Eye will work with you to determine what is best for your individual situation to give you clear vision!
Harrisburg LASIK Surgery
What are my my options for refractive surgery or LASIK?
There are many benefits to refractive surgery or LASIK eye surgery, some of which include fast visual recovery, limited if any discomfort, and a lowered risk of after surgery glare. Most people are very happy with the results of refractive surgery. It's no wonder that LASIK laser vision correction has quickly emerged as one of the true medical breakthroughs of modern history. LASIK, the most accepted form of laser vision correction, is the fastest-growing type of refractive surgery. It is very versatile and can treat both nearsightedness and farsightedness with or without astigmatism. Over 98% of people who have LASIK achieve somewhere between 20/20 and 20/40 vision without glasses or contact lenses.
In order to help determine the vision correction that would most suit your needs it is a great idea to familiarize yourself with the main refractive errors. Prior to any vision correction surgery our Harrisburg ophthalmologists will examine your eyes and determine what procedures would work best for you. Blurry vision may result from any number of conditions not necessarily related to refractive errors. The diagnosis of a refractive error is usually confirmed by an eye care professional.
Myopia (Nearsightedness)
Nearsighted individuals typically have problems seeing well at a distance and are forced to wear glasses or contact lenses. The nearsighted eye is usually longer than a normal eye, and its cornea may also be steeper. Therefore, when light passes through the cornea and lens, it is focused in front of the retina. This will make distant images appear blurred. There are several refractive surgery solutions available to correct nearly all levels of nearsightedness.
Hyperopia (Farsightedness)
Farsighted individuals typically develop problems reading up close before the age of 40. The farsighted eye is usually slightly shorter than a normal eye and may have a flatter cornea. Thus, the light of distant objects focuses behind the retina unless the natural lens can compensate fully. Near objects require even greater focusing power to be seen clearly and therefore, blur more easily. LASIK, Refractive Lens Exchange and Contact lenses are a few of the options available to correct farsightedness.
Asymmetric steepening of the cornea or natural lens causes light to be focused unevenly, which is the main optical problem in astigmatism. To individuals with uncorrected astigmatism, images may look blurry or shadowed. Astigmatism can accompany any form of refractive error and is very common. Astigmatism can be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, corneal relaxing incisions, laser vision correction, and special implant lenses.
Presbyopia is a condition that typically becomes noticeable for most people around age 45. In children and young adults, the lens inside the eye can easily focus on distant and near objects. With age, the lens loses its ability to focus adequately. Although presbyopia is not completely understood, it is thought that the lens and its supporting structures lose the ability to make the lens curvature greater during close vision effort. To compensate, affected individuals usually find that holding reading material further away makes the image clearer. Ultimately, aids such as reading glasses are typically needed by the mid-forties. Besides glasses, presbyopia can be dealt with in a number of ways. Options include: monovision and multifocal contact lenses, monovision laser vision correction, and new presbyopia correcting implant lenses.
What happens during LASIK eye surgery?
The process of LASIK surgery is accomplished in a few short steps. A local anesthetic is first applied to the eye(s). A thin flap is then carefully created on the surface of the cornea, using a highly precise instrument called a femtosecond IntraLase® laser. The flap is lifted, revealing the middle section of the cornea. A cool ultraviolet light beam, produced by our VISX S4™ excimer laser, is then applied, removing tiny portions of the cornea in an effort to reshape it and improve visual acuity. Each pulse of the laser removes approximately .25 microns of corneal tissue. By comparison, the diameter of a human hair is about 50 microns. Because the laser used in LASIK surgery removes corneal matter in such small increments, extreme precision is achieved in the process. Once the cornea is corrected, the flap is replaced and the procedure is complete.
Following LASIK surgery, patients usually experience a rapid recovery due to the fact that only a tiny portion of the eye is actually operated on. Most of our patients are able to drive themselves back to our facility the day following their surgery to meet with our Harrisburg LASIK surgeons for their follow-up appointment. Because of its efficiency and effectiveness, LASIK surgery is the most popular form of refractive surgery. It is estimated to account for 95 percent of the laser vision correction procedures that are performed today.
LASIK eye surgery Benefits
Some of the benefits of Laser Vision Correction are:
- Decreased dependency on glasses or contacts
- Ability to get up and GO!
- Convenience with travel
- No hassle with contact solutions
- Clear, natural vision
- Major lifestyle advantages with sports
- Improved appearance with NO glasses
One final benefit to LASIK eye surgery is the amount of money you can save! Over your lifetime, glasses and contacts can cost you a fortune. See how much you can save by using our LASIK Savings Calculator!
Determining Your LASIK candidacy
Before you can undergo LASIK eye surgery to correct your poor eyesight you must first have a pre-operative eye examination. This eye examination might be the most thorough eye health exam you have ever had. During this exam they will check your corneal thickness with topography equipment and perform several other tests. If you meet the criteria for LASIK surgery our Harrisburg and Lemoyne LASIK coordinators will discuss the cost of LASIK with you. We have affordable financing options that can enable this vision correction sooner than later.
If you want to schedule time with us in one of our convenient offices, please schedule a free consultation today!

blogging, depression, life, relationships, weight gain, writing
Hellloooooooo, anybody here?
I wouldn't be surprised or upset if I lost the few readers I have.
I apologize for not blogging. I kind of let my mind take over. I don't have any interesting updates…My absence was me standing in the shadows. I thought about blogging/writing. Between my own personal life, work, and the world itself I had material.
Somewhere between my last post and this one I fell into a dark hole. Like times before that fine grain of quicksand had me in a blink. I was doing good one moment. Enjoying my Summer then like a fine mist I felt my moods getting darker, my emotions flashed between flood of tears or fiery rage. I stopped caring about things. Going to work was all done on auto-pilot. If I wasn't sleeping I was eating. My plan to spend the summer working out amounted to less than 10 trips to the gym.
Gaining weight is always good for depression, right (insert eye roll)
I hung out with friends (waves to Mark, Rebekah, and Jessica), went on literally two dates. Great dates (still good friends with one guy) but I felt like I was simply doing what was expected. Summer is my favorite season. I looked forward to summer all winter. I had all these plans to get out and socialize and I made zero effort to do many of them. I blamed my inactivity on being busy at work.
I was busy alright…busy fighting my demons. Forcing my mind to focus on the fact that I had no reason to be depressed. I have a job, friends, family healthy. But depression has a way of taking those things and twisting them.
I have a job…yet it's a place where I am pulled in many directions. My responsibility doesn't match my paycheck. Feelings of being used and taken for granted washed over me.
I'm healthy…yet I'm fighting a disease (diabetes) that is a struggle. My weight gain was due to my insulin intake and my lack of physical activity.
Like many with depression I also suffer from social anxiety. You know that mental paranoia that when in social settings EVERYONE is mocking you, or you are fixated on making some faux pas. Some days the anxiety was worse than the depression. Imagine wanting to go to the gym, needing to but you don't because you think you will be judged for it.
I judged this bout of depression as mild because I wasn't waking up wishing I hadn't. I knew with time it would pass.
I needed to flood my mind with something other than what my mind felt it was missing. I began listening to the Jillian Michaels podcast. I started to listen hoping it would drown my social anxiety and motivate me. I wanted to get out and be in the season I loved.
It worked. I got out more, dated, saw my friends, family. More importantly I mentally I began to see things differently. I began to see that happiness is something I can formulate.
So I did.
Saw my responsibilities at work as a learning experience that would match my salary one day or not. I focused on being thankful for that.
Started working out at home (a little, lol)
By the end of summer I met the guy I am currently dating. I went on the date not thinking past it. I hibernate during the colder months. But we are a month and a half along so maybe I have a hibernation partner.
Of course being around someone that does what family and friends do (care about you, feed you, make you laugh) plus the desire to have sex with you can and does increase the happiness level. Lift you up an inch out of the quicksand.
One day while looking at files on my USB drive (I wanted to share my writing with New Guy) I found a story that I had no memory of starting. Not surprising, I start and never finish a lot of stories but this one was different. A couple, on their wedding day, discussing why they shouldn't get married, with an underlining plot of a soap opera (bride pregnant with another man's child).
Watching soap operas as a kid is where my creative mind grew. I was reminded of my first love…writing; my life line when quicksand would get me. Even though I didn't feel like putting pen to paper yet I listened to audio books. I finished two within a month. If I wasn't listening to audio books I was listening to podcast. I don't know that sound of other voices, other opinions, other people's endings connected with me.
Today I woke up and said "I'm going to write a blog post."
Well…how did I do?
Until next time,

Like any local celebrity, AC is a pillar of the community, doing good deeds, attending cultural galas, participating in parades and judging a pet fashion show at Macon's biggest bash of the year, the Cherry Blossom Festival. Most of all, AC takes every opportunity to raise awareness around the community to support his pet cause. Literally.
AC, which stands for Animal Control, is the most famous dog in Central Georgia—and the busiest.
His full name is AC Pup, and his "pet cause" is to help reduce the number of homeless and abused pets in Macon through educating the public, low-cost spay and neuter clinics, fighting dog fighting and other animal abuse, and encouraging residents to adopt homeless pets.
Along with his trusty sidekick and spokesperson, Macon Animal Control Officer Van VanDeWalker, AC visits with thousands of school children every year to help them understand that pets should be treated with respect and kindness. Part of being kind to pets is not to let them have unwanted babies that can wind up at the shelter.
AC educates the public about caring properly for their pets. His message to students is to make sure their pet has food and water, gets its shots and is not tied up outdoors all the time. Like AC Pup, all pets should be considered members of the family and treated well.
At school assemblies, AC shows children how to properly approach a dog, and also shows them how to properly receive kisses. AC delivers thousands and thousands of kisses to demonstrate the joy of loving a pet and being loved in return.
AC has never received formal training as a service or therapy dog, but seems to have learned from experience how to behave around children, adults and other animals.
"The thing is, he was spoiled rotten," VanDeWalker said. The shelter staff, he said, "let AC get away with murder." Although AC doesn't get spoiled at home, the loving treatment he's received since that cold day three years ago seems to have made him both approachable and sensitive to others.
"The neat thing about AC," VanDeWalker said, "is that he understands when a child is special needs. He is always very careful with children who have any type of challenge, even if that challenge isn't visible to you or me."
Central Georgia CARES is AC Pup's personal public relations firm, formed to handle fund-raising, schedule photo ops and public appearances, enlist volunteers and carry out the Snipper Committee's regular spay-neuter clinics.
AC has also visited city council and county commission meetings. CARES and AC Pup instituted a monthly Summit for the Animals to help bring diverse rescue groups, shelter staff, animal professionals and animal lovers together.
The summits are open to the public and allow the various groups and individuals to work on finding new ways to end the problem of homeless, abused and unwanted pets in Middle Georgia.
AC has three Facebook pages, his own website. and his own email address. Using those social networking tools, he has rallied the community to help find lost pets, networked to save pets in danger at Animal Control, and kept thousands of his fans informed on upcoming events and pet care issues. AC has his own weekly column in The Macon Telegraph, too.
When AC and CARES threw a party at the animal shelter to celebrate his third birthday recently, AC asked on his Facebook pages that guests bring food and treats for his Pound Pals instead of gifts just for him. The response was overwhelming, with guests donating hundreds of pounds of dog food, dog treats, cat litter and cat food along with other items needed at the shelter.
AC did manage to sneak over and swipe a dog treat out of one of the bags, but the rest was distributed to the shelter and local rescue groups that work so hard to save animals from the shelter.
He got a few presents from family and friends, plus some cake and ice cream, so all in all, he had a great time, according to VanDeWalker.
Watch the video with AC Pup and Van VanDeWalker to hear more about AC's incredible journey from a frozen puppy no one expected to survive to prominent community activist and icon for humane pet treatment and rescue.
Visit AC's friend page on Facebook, where he maintains an album of Lost and Found Pets. You can also visit AC's other individual Facebook page or his public figure Facebook page.

Everything You Need to Know About Rock Springs this Summer
In the hot Florida summer, there's not a whole lot that could be better than tubing down crystal clear, cool, spring waters all day. If you are from Central Florida or taking a vacation in Orlando you can visit the nearby Kelly Rock Springs a short drive away in Apopka.
Before you go:
Call ahead and figure out the hours the spring is open and make sure the spring will be open the day you plan to go. You can rent tubes right outside the park, or you can buy one at wal-mart for $6 and bring it in with you, just make sure it's less than 6' in diameter. Bring a cooler with cold drinks and lunch to save some money versus buying lunch at the cafe there. Also be sure to have some cash on hand, admission is $6.
While you're there:
Bring a blanket or some towels and set up a spot to hang out by the water. There are trees and shade so you don't need to bring an umbrella or anything, but that's up to you if you want. Take your float to the spring entrance and jump into the water and relax as you float down the spring. The water is 72 degrees Fahrenheit all year round, so it will definitely feel pretty cold when you get in. Do yourself a favor and just jump all the way in and it won't be so bad!
What to bring:
Bug Spray
A blanket or towels
Lunch and snacks
Waterproof camera or phone case
Water shoes aren't necessary but you could definitely use them

You open the french doors to your balcony. The heavy, salty smell of the ocean pierces your senses. The sun's rays wrap their arms around you as you step foot on to the balcony. Just as you start to relax and enjoy paradise, the hair on the back of your neck starts to raise on end. Your highly trained senses kick into overdrive. You turn quickly, catching a glimpse of, what you thought, was a reflective light source. You leap backwards into your loft as the bullet whistles it's deadly sound past you.
Welcome to Hitman Holiday where not only are you the predator, but also the prey. From 2-10 players will not only be on the hunt for their target, but also be the hunted. It is your job as the player, to make the first kill as fast as possible, before your target deduces who is trying to kill them and reports you to the authorities!
Pixel Glory – Pets Expansion – Pay What You Want
Project By: Frank Alberts
In case you missed the first printing of Pixel Glory, Frank Alberts is giving you a chance to nullify your mistake and grab his deck building game, along with a new expansion for it called Pets.
Pixel Glory is a deck builder, but instead of purchasing cards like most deck builders, Pixel Glory uses an auction mechanic in the first phase of the game for players to create their decks with. Than the second phase of the game centers on the dungeon delving, monster fighting the game is known for.
I'm glad I backed this the first time around and have had a lot of fun with it. It plays pretty quick even with four players and I enjoy the balancing mechanic and strategy of doing damage to monsters, but not leaving them weak enough for other players to easily pick off and score the points. For $15+, acquiring this game is a no brainer.
That's it for this week! Be sure to leave a comment about what games you are most looking forward to from Kickstarter! Until next week, keep playin' to be playin'!

The Ume Group's Dream Dances began development in October. Through five months of training (butoh, gymnastics, yoga nidra, physical theatre), dream journaling and sketching, the ensemble- Kate Douglas, Fabio Motta, Mike McNulty, Byron Hagan and myself- led by director Jordan Rosin (assisted by Yokko and Christian Leadley) devised what has been one of the greatest sources of pride and growth in my career thusfar. Resisting the urge to be easily classified or marketed as 'all this' or 'all that,' we were led through a process that challenged our limits as performers, building new skills and developing new senses for intimate, authentic and resonant storytelling. I have nothing but gratitude for Jordan, the team and the wildly supportive and enthusiastic audiences that shared this journey with us. On to the next.

Huntsville drinking water is supplied by the Tennessee River and by groundwater from multiple wells like the Lincoln and Dallas Well Treatment Plant. All the groundwater these wells produce is from limestone aquifers, which means they contain an abundance of minerals — like calcium and magnesium — that make your water hard, causing a host of problems around your home.
Hard water is easy to recognize and is common in areas where the water supply is sourced from limestone aquifers. Some types of buildup from hard water can be boiled away while other types need harsh chemicals to be removed. Hard water is often the culprit behind:
Also known as white scale, limescale is caused by the mineral deposits present in hard water. Lime buildup attaches strongly to any hard surface, making it difficult to remove. It typically causes:
Because chlorine is used as a disinfecting agent during the water treatment process, Huntsville's tap water can often take on the taste and smell of chlorine. While safe to drink when maintained at appropriate levels, the poor taste and unpleasant smell that chlorine causes can make for an unsatisfactory end result.
No matter what your water problems are, your Huntsville Culligan Water Expert knows the right filtration solution. The best way to find out what's causing your water issues, and how to fix them, is with a free and simple Culligan water test.
To check if your toilet tank is leaking, put a few drops of food coloring in the tank, wait about 15 minutes, and look in the bowl. If the food coloring shows up there, the tank is leaking.
A faucet leaking one drop per second wastes 2,400 gallons per year.

Things that surprised and delighted me during the past two days: Waking up in the campground and seeing that an Airstream trailer had pulled in to the spot next to us. Coffee from the French press. Khalia's greeting at breakfast, and the purposeful joy of her embrace. How hard she worked not just to bring The Tiny Book Show to Corryville, but also to bring people to the event. And yet this seamlessness of the effort, and the clear, uncomplicated generosity of it. What I learned from her in the span of 4 hours. Todd and his long drive from Cleveland, and the tiny bookmarks he gave me, and the look of wonder and gratitude on his face. The quiet hum of a roomful of people making things. Travis and his easy willingness and problem-solving. The little trill in my belly when we crossed into Indiana. The concert at Ellenberger Park, and Kelly B. rushing up to greet us. Martine and Jamie and their ebullience. The clear, just-right summer evening. Thai chicken pizza and ice-cold Blue Moon. Talking into the darkness. Backyard chickens. Homegrown eggs the next morning. Holly's question, "How can I be of help to you?" Brent and his stories and his hard, hard work, and the tiny letterpress printer he showed us after the event at Tube Factory Artspace. The boys we gave our scooters to on the sidewalk. Burgers on an outside patio. The twinkle lights on the porch. That wink of moon, saying "You're here. You're really here."
Amy says:
Things that surprised and delighted me during the past two days: A hot shower in the cleanest campground bathroom I've ever seen. Lightning bugs high up in the treetops. Chicken and waffles. The incredible gift of Khalia's enthusiasm. Nandita's tiny book. The wild abandon of the three young children who were hungry for everything we had to offer. The quiet conversation between friends and strangers. The lengths that Todd went to to be a part of our day and his tiny joyful offerings. Cassandra's hug. An envelope adorned with a sprig of lavender. A letter from Renee. The quick tears that sprang to our eyes while reading it. The utter relief of a park concert and green green grass under our feet. A dancing duo. Delilah's nose in our hands. Kelly's pigtails and her hug. Martine and Jamie's voices after all these years of knowing each other through a screen, the way they instantly felt like family and their living room felt like home. Plein air paintings. The quick laughter that sprang to our lips. Australian yogurt. Holly and Matt's heroic efforts to put together a huge tiny event. Tiny snacks. Tiny stacks of dogs. Tiny boxes filled with 10000 whens. Just the right tiny bookmaking soundtrack. Tiny snippets of conversation that will surely lead to something big in the future. Ideas being exchanged. New connections and collaborations. Making. Making. Always making.

Cozy Decorating Ideas that make you comfort
Deck decorating ideas sometimes really take your mind. It is like two sides of coin. One, you want it to be decorative and beautiful with glamorous and catchy features. At the other side, it seems expensive. Well, actually you are able to decorate your deck as cheap as your dream. You can use everything you have at home to change it into an unusual but pretty deck ever. Everyone knows that deck is an important part of the house for relaxation. Therefore, although it is semi exterior part, it is almost everyday use.
Cozy deck decorating ideas
19 Picture Gallery: Cozy Decorating Ideas that make you comfort
If you imagine and dream a deck that can comfort you as well at the front of your house but with minimum budget, why don't you put sofas or rattan chairs on it? Decks and verandas are familiar with these kinds of features. Rattan chair with several cloths wrapped on it is really cozy for you to have any me-time.
Make it natural with brown
Use brown as a dominant color for your deck. It will be natural scheme ever. Brown dominates the deck but gives it space to blend with the space around. Plants and vegetation are the perfect friend for deck to bring the earth.

CheNesia Brown
- Major:
Criminal Justice
- Quote:
"If you don't like something, then change it. In order to change the system, you have to become part of the system."
CheNesia Brown, a junior criminal justice major at UALR, said growing up in a racially divided town sparked something in her that made her want to serve as a catalyst for positive change.
Brown remembers speaking with her mother about politics and the poignant answer she received when she asked her mother why the world seemed so unfair.
"She told me, 'well, if you don't like it, then change it. In order to change the system you have to become part of the system,'" Brown said.
Brown knew from about the fifth grade that she wanted to be a judge. In her mind, it was the one way she could ensure the delivery of justice to the people whose lives would be affected.
"I think everybody who comes to college wants to change the world, but I don't know if they feel as strongly as I do," she said.
"I feel very strongly about injustice. It hurts me to know there is injustice, and so I feel like I have to do something about it."
Brown enjoys her criminal justice courses and is especially fond of Dr. David Montague, whom she credits with helping her "think outside the box."
"A lot of people don't realize they are inside a box until someone forces them out of it," she concluded.

Re: Support firstname.lastname@example.com Sep 19, 2018 5:55 AM (in response to oonagh.m)
Hi Oonagh McQuarrie, I have further investigated on this and found that we have a fix for this in version 2016.3.10.6 if you are not currently in this version you would need to upgrade. Further more, can you tell us which specific tiles are being problematic? If you have custom tiles created by Social Edge, in deed you might need to contact them.
Re: Support Issuesoonagh.m Sep 19, 2018 8:53 AM (in response to email@example.com)
I'm currently on version 2016.3.10.4, but am scheduled to upgrade to 2018.2 on Saturday. I'm assuming the fix for this is included in that upgrade?
I'm seeing the issue in Mosaic tiles, which I know are Social Edge tiles, but we don't use static resources for anything else. I will see if this issue persists after my upgrade, and reach out to Social Edge for help with my static resources.
Re: Support firstname.lastname@example.com Sep 19, 2018 9:07 AM (in response to oonagh.m)
Thanks, please let me know if anything further arises.
Re: Support IssuesBecky Dozier Sep 19, 2018 9:28 AM (in response to oonagh.m)
Hi Oonagh McQuarrie - yes, that banner tile image fix is included in 2018.2, so you should be set.
Re: Support Issuesoonagh.m Sep 19, 2018 10:36 AM (in response to Becky Dozier)
Just to be sure, I'm not having a banner tile issue, it's the static resources linked in a custom tile that are disappearing. Will this still be resolved? Banner tiles don't use the static resources, those are usually uploaded files.
Re: Support Issuesmwestervelt Sep 20, 2018 11:32 AM (in response to oonagh.m)
Hi Oonagh,
I got a reply from support on a similar issue that 2016.3.10.8 will have a hotfix for this, and that in the meantime we should remove all spaces and special characters from image names. Maybe give that a try?
Re: Support Issuestmaurer Sep 20, 2018 12:37 PM (in response to mwestervelt)
If that is the case, then this is a regression bug. I've run into something very similar to this before. And if it is the same bug, that workaround may or may not actually work. Good luck!
Re: Support IssuesBecky Dozier Sep 20, 2018 12:40 PM (in response to oonagh.m)1 person found this helpful
Hi Oonagh McQuarrie and Melissa Westervelt
Just a quick update here. The fix we mentioned earlier is NOT for the static resources issue, but with an issue of images for hero and banner tiles. Our team is working on the issue with static resources as we speak, so it is good you both have support cases opened. Sorry I introduced confusion on this one.

Mark Adams, Vice President, Vauxhall/Opel Design, accepted Scottish Car of the Year (SCOTY) from Alasdair Suttie, President of the Association of Scottish Motoring Writers (ASMW). Astra won the family car category, the diesel Astra the Eco award and Viva was named best compact car. Corsa and Corsa VXR were runners-up in SCOTY's Supermini and Hot-Hatch categories.
Scotland is important to Vauxhall. It has been the biggest-selling manufacturer in the country for seven years, Corsa the best-seller for six so it's no coincidence to find Vauxhall sponsoring the national football team. Adams said, "We're extremely proud that the Astra is the 2015 Scottish Car of the Year, glad we've been able to repay its loyalty by delivering a car that will appeal in so many ways."
Left to right with the winning cars' quaichs: Mike Thomas, Assistant Plant Director Ellesmere Port, Nancy Thomas, Beth Katuszka Vauxhall Product Affairs, Melanie Adams, Mark Adams, Leon Caruso Vauxhall Retail Sales Director, Denis Chick Director Communications, Simon Hucknall Manager Product Communications, and Zoe Peacock Press Fleet Manager. Caruso said, "Winning SCOTY gives us a huge boost and our retailers in the region will be delighted with the success this will bring."
SCOTY is a highlight of the Dove Publishing calendar, strikingly last year with the ASMW's generous honour of the President's Trophy to the Editorial Director. This year's event, organised by Ally and Lorraine Ballingall, was another ringing success with industry bigwigs flocking to the Marriott Dalmahoy, Edinburgh for a party that went on until the wee sma' hours. Until, in fact, men arrived to dismantle the elaborate set into which the winning Astra drove at the height of the evening's ceremony. (Below: Caruso, Suttie and Dalmahoy)

Mount Martin Regional Botanic Park -there are many stands of the spectacular Albany Banksia. There are various walks around the botanic park where numerous varieties of wildflowers can be found including common donkey orchid, little kangaroo paw and late flowering pink bunny orchid.
Mt Martin Botanical Park provides a beautiful coastal setting for recreation and enjoyment of natural beauty. High vista points in the landscape offer outstanding views of Breaksea and Michaelmas islands, Albany's harbours and Torndirrup Peninsula.
The diverse landforms and soils found within this protected area support an exceptional botanical richness. The largest known stand of Albany's floral symbol 'Banksia', exists within the park which unfortunately is threatened by dieback.
A complex patchwork of forest, woodlands, wetlands, sedges, granite shrub lands and coastal heath covers the landscape.
This is a beautiful hike especially in Spring when the wildflowers are blooming. If you like hiking, love wildflowers take your camera, pack a picnic and enjoy. The end of the hike is on the white sand of the Emu Point channel.

By Kate Borders | Director of Mobilization & Holistic Care
I nurse my four month old daughter and she gets into a comfortable state somewhere between awake and asleep while she contentedly eats. After awhile I pick her up to burp her. With her head on my shoulder she realizes that she is no longer comfortably eating and lets out a quiet cry of protest. I pat her back and gently tell her, "don't worry, there's more". She quickly quiets down, burps and then settles in to finish eating.
Each time I say, "don't worry, there's more" I find myself overwhelmed with gratefulness that I can say that to her, humbled by and thankful for God's provision. Recognizing all provision is from God's hand, at the moment I'm able to say, "don't worry, there's more" because I have enough to eat and drink so my body is producing the nourishment that she needs. Lord willing, as she gets older I'll be able to say that because my husband and I will work hard to provide for her.
For over 10 years now my heart has been breaking for children who don't have enough food to eat. But now as a new parent I find myself thinking of parents who struggle to provide for their children. My heart breaks for the moms and dads who desperately want to care and provide for their children yet poverty, drought, sickness and other challenges prevent them from being able to.
I have to admit I don't understand why. I trust God's goodness and His sovereignty, but don't understand why I find myself in a position to be able to provide warmth, shelter, protection, and food for my baby girl, while so many parents would give anything to be able to do the same and aren't able.
As I wrestle with these questions that don't have answers I find myself yet again thankful to be part of the ministry of World Orphans as we work through local churches around the world to strengthen communities, so families can be supported and encouraged, so parents are able to work and provide for their children.
One very specific way we go about this is through our Home-Based Care Programs. The objective is to assist the church in their desire to provide much needed spiritual, emotional, physical and mental care for households in their community with orphaned, abandoned, or vulnerable children who are being cared for by single mothers, extended relatives, neighbors, friends, or church members.
The program is designed to ensure that the children receive: spiritual care - through discipleship during home visitations and participation in a weekly children's program at the church; emotional care – by providing ongoing counseling, group activities, and home visitations; physical care – in the form of food, access to clean drinking water, and access to medical care; and mental care – by ensuring access and support of education.
As I feed my daughter and lay her down to sleep, faces of dear brothers and sisters I have met through World Orphans partnerships flash through my mind. My heart aches knowing there are grieving parents putting their children to be hungry. At the same time I am very humbled by how hard parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, community members and church bodies are working to care and provide for those children.
As we seek to care for children, whether it be children under our roof or children around the world, may we never lose sight of the greatest need we all have, for our relationship with God to be restored. Praise God that He has met that need, through the Gospel of Christ. As we meet physical needs, may we never cease to point one another to the Gospel.
Currently World Orphans has Home-Based Care programs in Haiti and Ethiopia. Click HERE to read more about Home-Based Care and click HERE to start a campaign to raise money to support orphan care ministry around the world.
A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling. God sets the lonely in families, he leads out the prisoners with singing... - Psalm 68:5-6

Don't you love this cute little menu? It's a free printable that I found on pinterest. I've been doing really good for the past few months with planning menus and cutting our grocery budget. I've also been using my crockpot almost exclusively and I love it. Seriously. Love it. I buy those nice slow cooker bags that make clean up a snap for Mr.McHunky, because we have the "I cook it, you clean it" rule at our house.
I grocery shop on Friday's so I will be doing my weekly menu posts on Thursday's for the following week. The menu above covers Monday January 16 thru Sunday January 22. I will post the menu and then each of the recipes, including the total cost of each.
Baked Ziti
|box ziti noodles ($0.85 on sale)
|lb sliced sausage ($2.29)
|jar spaghetti sauce ($1.68 on sale w/ coupon)
|can sliced mushrooms ($0.49)
|carton ricotta cheese ($1.38)
|cups shredded mozzarella cheese ($2.32)
|cup shredded parmesan cheese ($1.98)
Mix ziti noodles and spaghetti sauce in bottom of crockpot. Add about ¼ cup water to jar, shake and pour over ziti noodles. Add sausage, mushrooms, ricotta and 1 cup of mozzarella cheese. Stir together until mixed well. Top with remaining mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese. Cook on low for 6 hours.
I've made this dish before and it makes enough for our family of 6 to eat dinner one night, Mr.McHunky to eat leftovers the next day plus still enough for Leftover Wednesday's dinner. That's about $0.85 per serving.
BBQ Sandwiches
3 frozen boneless chicken breasts ($2.99)
1 bottle BBQ sauce ($1.19 on sale w/ coupon)
1/4 cup brown sugar (in pantry)
3 T worcestershire sauce (in pantry)
Hamburger buns or sandwich rolls ($1.06)
Dump frozen chicken breasts, BBQ sauce, brown sugar and worcestershire sauce into crockpot and cook on low for 5 hours. Shred chicken and return to crockpot, cooking additional hour. Serve on hamburger buns or sandwich rolls.
I use the bags of frozen boneless chicken breasts and I get 2 dinners out of a $5.98 bag. This dinner makes enough for dinner for the 6 of us plus Mr.McHunky takes it for lunch the next day. I serve this with tater tots and a veggie. The cost for just the BBQ sandwiches is about $0.75 per serving.
Enchiladas– recipe adapted from HERE
|lb ground beef ($5.89)
|can kidney beans, drained and rinsed ($0.68)
|can black beans, drained and rinsed ($0.68)
|can diced tomatoes with garlic ($0.98)
|cup water
|t chili powder (in pantry)
|t cumin (in pantry)
|t salt (in pantry)
|t pepper (in pantry)
|cup shredded sharp cheddar ($1.16)
|cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese ($1.16)
|flour tortillas ($0.99)
I've made this dish before as well. It makes a ton so if you have a smaller family you might want to half this recipe. I use 2lbs on ground beef. We get a full dinner for all 6 of us, plus lunch for Mr.McHunky on Friday and lunches for the family on Saturday. That's about $0.89 per serving.
Swiss Chicken
|frozen chicken breasts ($2.99)
|slices swiss cheese ($1.09)
|can cream of mushroom soup ($0.60)
|cup milk
|cups stuffing mix ($1.68)
|cup margarine, melted
This dish normally makes enough for dinner for the 6 of us plus a lunch for Mr.McHunky. That's about $0.91 per serving.
Chili & Cornbread
2 lbs ground beef, cooked ($5.89)
1 can pinto beans, drained and rinsed ($0.68)
1 pkt chili seasoning ($0.69)
1 can diced tomatoes with garlic ($0.98)
1 can tomato sauce ($0.46)
1/4 cup ketchup
1 T sugar
2 boxes Jiffy corn muffin mix ($0.50)
Mix all ingredients in crockpot and cook on high for 3 hours. Serve with cornbread.
We love chili. We are also chili minimalists, we don't like a lot of extras in our chili. I've experimented for years to find the perfect chili recipe with the right brand of products. I use the generic Wal*mart pinto beans, tomato sauce and mild chili seasoning and I use Hunt's Fire Roasted diced tomatoes with garlic. The flavors are great. Mr.McHunky adds hot sauce to his and we all top it with cheese. It makes a ton- we get dinner for the 6 of us, plus 2 lunches and another night of leftovers for 4 of us. That makes it about $0.77 per serving including the cornbread.
Hawaiian Ham Sammies– recipe credit
1 pkg of 12 Hawaiian sweet rolls ($2.24)
1 onion, minced (on hand)
1 stick of butter (on hand)
3 T dijon mustard (on hand)
2 t worcestershire sauce (on hand)
3 t poppy seeds (on hand)
1/2 lb shaved ham ($1.99)
8 slices swiss cheese ($1.09)
Melt butter in small skillet and add onions. Add mustard, worcestershire sauce and poppy seeds into onion and butter. Let simmer for several minutes. Slice rolls as a group lengthwise and place bottoms in a foil lined 13×9 pan. Spread 3/4 of onion mixture on rolls in pan and top with ham and cheese slices. Replace roll tops. Spread remaining onion mixture over top. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes on 350.
I haven't made these before but I thought they would go perfectly with NFL playoff Sunday. I don't imagine we'll have many leftovers since the recipe only calls for 12 rolls. I'm guessing it will end up costing about $0.89 per serving.

Publishers Sue Google To Stop Scanning
Thursday, October 20, 2005
Five major publishers sued Google Inc. yesterday, alleging that the search engine's plans to scan millions of library books so they can be viewed on the Internet is a blatant violation of copyright law.
In a lawsuit filed in federal court in Manhattan, the publishers asked a federal judge to block Google from resuming its scanning of books on Nov. 1. Google had stopped digitizing books while it sought a compromise with publishers.
"If they are allowed to unilaterally change the copyright law and copy anything unless somebody tells you 'no,' it will be impossible for people in the intellectual property community to operate," said Patricia Schroeder, president of the American Association of Publishers. "They keep talking about doing this because it is going to be good for the world. That has never been a principle in law. They 'do no evil' except they are stealing people's property."
In a statement yesterday, Google defended its approach, saying the scanning of millions of library books from the collections of Harvard University, Stanford University, the University of Michigan, the New York Public Library and Oxford University is legal. The search engine said its program will make library books more widely available to readers online.
"This short-sighted attempt to block Google Print works counter to the interests of not just the world's readers, but also the world's authors and publishers," the company said. "Creating an easy to use index of books is fair use under copyright law and supports the purpose of copyright: to increase the awareness and sales of books directly benefiting copyright holders."
Google has said it will resume scanning library books Nov. 1 unless publishers contact the company and specify which books they want excluded. In contrast, a similar effort launched by search competitor Yahoo Inc. automatically excludes volumes protected by copyright, unless publishers and authors grant permission for their use.
"Yahoo is doing it correctly," Schroeder said.
Yesterday's lawsuit by the five publishers -- Simon & Schuster Inc., McGraw-Hill Cos., John Wiley & Sons Inc., Penguin Group (USA) Inc. and Pearson Education Inc. -- follows a class-action lawsuit against Google last month by the Authors Guild, which has 8,000 members. That lawsuit also alleged that Google's library project violated copyright laws.
As an alternative to Google's approach, the publishers proposed that the search engine identify books under copyright using their unique ISBN numbers and then seek permission to scan them from publishers and authors. Google rejected the approach as too cumbersome, Schroeder said.
In return for allowing the company to scan their collections, the library systems would receive a free digitized version of their books from Google, which announced the library initiative in December 2004. Google has said that to protect authors and publishers and stimulate sales, it would show only "snippets" from books under copyright.

Corporate Photography - Chuck Close at The Corcoran
I've photographed a number of well knows artists since I've started shooting for The Corcoran Gallery. Chuck Close recently spoke about his life and work, and was one of the artists that was the easiest for me to relate. When most artists talk about their early careers they may hint at struggles or lean years, but never really delve into specific challenges they faced. Mr. Close spoke candidly about the challenges he faced both in life and art that helped to form him as the artist he is. One of the large reasons he was speaking so candidly is that he was being interviewed by his friend and biographer, Christopher Finch. Mr. Finch knows Chuck's history and was able to develop the conversation to reveal the history of Mr. Close's life and work, the same way he would in a printed book.

Spring is coming and this time of year our minds turn inevitably to swimsuits, sleeveless sundresses and bare skin – when we're not thinking about babies, that is. Body conscious times like this can create additional stress for those of us who are trying to conceive. Many of us have given up exercise during our fertility journey, the fertility medications and emotional ups and downs that accompany treatment may have helped us gain a few pounds and our body image may be less-than-fabulous. The good news is that a fit, toned body is not out of the question when we're trying to conceive. We just need to be smart about it.
At Pulling Down the Moon we use a sort of decision tree to help women find an exercise regimen that's right for them:
1. How close are you to your ideal bodyweight?
Body weight can play a major role in our fertility. According to the American Society for Reproductive Medicine about 12% of infertility is related to weight – 6% of cases due to underweight, where a woman's body is too lean for proper hormone function, and 6% due to overweight, where excesses of estrogen-producing adipose tissue (fat) disrupts hormonal balance. For women who are close to their optimal weight, an exercise program should serve to reduce stress, develop/maintain strength and keep the heart healthy. Women who need to lose weight should set goals to increase daily activity levels significantly through a program of low impact cardiovascular exercise, strength training and stress reduction activities such as yoga. If you're not sure about your ideal weight, a consultation with one of our nutritionists is a great place to start.
2. What role has exercise played in your life up to this point?
Some women have a less-than-healthy relationship with physical exercise. Some may hate it and struggle to fit it in to their day. Chronic under-exercise can make it hard to maintain a healthy body weight or may contribute to sluggishness and depression. On the flip side, there are those of us who train hard every day, use exercise to maintain an "ideal" body weight or feel anxious when exercise is limited. Chronic over-exercise can raise levels of the stress hormone cortisol as well as negatively affect the function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis (the hormonal system that governs reproductive function). Your relationship with exercise will dictate whether you need to slow down or speed up.
Once we know the answers to the questions above, we can begin to make recommendations. In general, a fertility-friendly exercise program should include cardiovascular exercise that is low-impact and low to medium intensity, which means keeping our heart rate under 60% of max. Exercise modalities like strength-training are also fabulous when you're trying to conceive. Strength training increases lean muscle mass and helps us keep our bodies strong and shapely (although we need to be careful here – a body fat percentage of at least 22% is generally accepted as necessary for a regular menstrual cycle). In addition to looking good, lean mass means increases metabolism and builds stronger bones. Yoga is another must-try for those who are trying to conceive. The yoga asanas increase strength, improve our flexibility and help to balance our hormones. Yoga has been proven to reduce levels of the stress hormone cortisol and in yoga physiology its believed that specific yoga postures can be used to increase the flow of blood and life energy (prana) to reproductive organs.
So get out and exercise this spring, but exercise wisely. For some of us, this will mean increasing our exercise levels, and for others it will mean slowing down – and some of us will find that what we're doing is just right. Remember, this is not the time to try and get ripped, drop your body fat percentage to "Hollywood" standards or train for a marathon. A fertility-friendly exercise program will leave you feeling nourished and relaxed.

Nelson Mandela
2017 Mattie J.T. Stepanek Peacemaker Award Honoree
Nelson Mandela was a South African anti-apartheid revolutionary, politician and philanthropist. He served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999, as the country's first black head of state and first to be elected in a fully representative democratic election. Mandela's government focused on dismantling the legacy of apartheid and fostering racial reconciliation. Ideologically an African nationalist and socialist, he served as President of the African National Congress (ANC) party from 1991 to 1997.
Mandela became involved in African nationalist politics while working as a lawyer in Johannesburg, where he joined the ANC in 1943, and cofounded its Youth League in 1944 with Walter Sisulu, Anton Lembede and others. When the white-only government established apartheid, Mandela and the ANC committed themselves to its overthrow. Mandela went onto join the South African Communist Party (SACP), through which he co-founded the militant Umkhonto we Sizwe and led a campaign against the government. In 1962, Mandela was arrested for conspiring to overthrow the state and sentenced to life imprisonment. He served 27 years in prison until 1990 when President F. W. de Klerk released him. Mandela and de Klerk negotiated an end to apartheid and organized the 1994 multiracial general election. Mandela led the ANC to victory and became President.
Mandela emphasized reconciliation between racial groups, created the Truth and Reconciliation Commission to investigate past human rights abuses, and introduced measures to encourage land reform, combat poverty and expand healthcare services. Internationally, Mandela acted as mediator in the Pan Am Flight 103 bombing trial and served as Secretary-General of the Non-Aligned Movement. He became an elder statesman, focusing on combating poverty and HIV/AIDS through the charitable Nelson Mandela Foundation.
As an icon of democracy and social justice, Mandela received more than 250 honors including the Nobel Peace Prize. He is held in deep respect within South Africa, commonly described as the "Father of the Nation".

It is a 3-free non-toxic nail polish. Priti NYC has a huge variety of colors; you can check it on their website here. Some of the colors though are not quite well depicted on the pictures. At least 2 of 5 that I ordered look a little different, but they are still gorgeous.
Although the concept of the eco-friendly nail polish is similar to Scotch Naturals (You can find review and swatches here and here), the implementation is the opposite. Priti nail polish feel, smell and are applied in the same way as usual nail polish we all got used to. The formula is a little thinner than that of other brands, so 3 coats are needed to reach opacity.
I will start with 2 of my favorites: Bachelor's Buttons and Lace Aloe.
Bachelor's Buttons is a dark blue crème nail polish, described as "classic blue collar" on Priti website. Although on the picture it had visible purple undertones, it has no purple when applied on the nails.
Lace aloe is a gorgeous green with some small silver glitter in it. It's quite a strange one. In the day light it is a dark green and looks a lot like aloe. But in the bright artificial light it become bright green with a hint of duochrome.

Any vehicle accident has numerous potential causes, from human error to road conditions to mechanical defect. We've heard a great deal in the last few years about faulty GM ignition switches and Toyota accelerator pedals that caused several car accidents and more than a dozen deaths. Those accidents were originally blamed on driver error, but a thorough investigation uncovered the mechanical defects that were truly responsible. It is also possible for a defect in a motorcycle to cause an accident or for a failure of the rider's protective equipment to make injuries worse than they had to be. When a bike, a helmet or an armored jacket fails to perform at an acceptable standard, the rider has grounds for a products liability lawsuit.
The Wall Street Journal recently reported that Milwaukee-based Harley-Davidson has issued recalls affecting 210,000 bikes in 2014 and 312,000 by October of 2015. Problems cited included a faulty cylinder that could prevent the clutch from disengaging, a defective fuel-pump seal, and a clasp that could allow saddlebags to fly off the back of the bike, which may have contributed to 35 accidents and six minor injuries.
Common problems with motorcycle design and manufacture include:
Problems can also arise with protective equipment. To be effective, helmets must meet the design and safety specifications set forth by the U.S. Department of Transportation. Helmets that do not offer sufficient protection expose the rider to the danger of catastrophic brain injury. Faulty chin straps may allow the helmet to fly off, leaving the head unguarded. Companies can also face products liability if they label helmets DOT-approved when they do not meet National Highway Traffic Safety Administration standards.
