"My mind is still boggled as to how many lip balms just don't actually do their job. Like, at all. Is it that hard? I guess. I've never tried to make one. Anyway, this stuff. This stuff! I am obsessed. It goes on so smoothly and sinks in so quickly and, man, it gives you some silky smackers. I turned our editor Liz onto it, and we both agreed we should probably just go in a whole shipload of it together. All hail the Australians—they really know how to moisturize." —Claire

Fiscal Policies Review August 27- Sept 3, 2018
Following the Governments' claim on August 24th that the President attempts to block the adoption of the first budget adjustment this year, by refusing to immediately convene the Supreme Council of Defense (CSAT), thus allegedly jeopardizing the complete and timely payment of pensions, allowances, salaries of public employees, as well as the provision of medical services and ensuring citizens' safety, the Presidency announced on August 24th that the Secretariat of the CSAT has already initiated the procedures for issuing a Council decision on the rectification of the state budget of the institutions with responsibilities in the field of national security for 2018. According to the same source, President decided to convene the CSAT on September 4th since the individual agreement of all Council members required by art. 6 par. (3) of the Law no. 415/2002 for issuing decisions has not been met. On the same date, President Klaus Iohannis declared that "the Government can pass any budget adjustment without CSAT's notice […] with the exception of the field of national security."

Fiscal Policies Review August 20 - 27, 2018
One month after PM Viorica Dăncilă announced the budget adjustment (August 2), and the Ministry for Public Finances put up for debate the Government Ordinance (August 6), the Gov't still has not pass it. Met with harsh criticism by the Presidential Administration (PA) over the sums allotted to the Presidency, the adjustment still awaits CSAT's notice. As announced on Friday, August 24, the Supreme Council of National Defense (CSAT) was summoned for September 4; the main point on the agenda, the budget adjustment.

Fiscal Policies Review August 13 - 20, 2018
The budgetary adjustment was postponed for the third week in a row. The adjustment was first presented by PM Viorica Dăncilă although FinMin Teodorovici initially announced that it would be adopted by the end of July. Last Saturday (August 18) Darius Vâlcov, advisor to the PM, announced the new delay. The Government Ordinance on the adjustment needs the notice of the Supreme Council for National Defense (CSAT) which has to approve the budget of the Presidential Administration, as well as the budgets of the Intelligence Services, budgets that were cut down by the Dăncilă Gov't. So far President Iohannis did not summon the CSAT. The PM alongside 1/3 of the Cabinet can summon the CSAT, however they need to agree with the President on the agenda.

Fiscal Policies Review, August 6 - 13, 2018
On August 6, the Ministry of Public Finances put up for debate the budget adjustment (general budget & social insurance budget). The official press release informs that the positive adjustment keeps under the deficit target (2.97%) with a GDP growth of 5.5%. In nominal terms, the GDP advanced to RON 945 billion from the initial estimation of RON 907.9 billion. As announced by PM Dăncilă in the sitting held on August 2 when the adjustment was first presented, additional funds go to local budgets (RON 1,125.9 million), Ministry of Health (RON 333.6 million), Ministry of Finances (RON 1,278.8 million), Ministry of Interior, National education, Transports, Agriculture, SGG, FNUASS, Social Insurance Budget. On August 6, the Central Bank decided to maintain the key interest rate at 2.5%. Two days later BNR Governor Mugur Isărescu presented the August report on inflation. The main message was against stimulating the demand, as it will lead to higher imports. The Governor also pointed out that the GDP growth is rather closer to the 4% tier than to the 5.5% announced by the Government. In the context of the budget adjustment and of the growing risk of exceeding the deficit, considering BNR's warnings on inflation, the Government put up for debate the new Pension Law. According to Minister of Labor Lia Olguța Vasilescu, the retirement age remains unchanged. The pension budget will also have to be increased by RON 15 billion by 2022, Minister Vasilescu also highlighted on Friday, August 10, as "pensions will be doubled."

Fiscal Policies Review July 30 - August 6, 2018
In an interview for DCNews, FinMin Teodorovici argued that the minimum wage should only be enforced to public administration and not to private companies. Two days later, Minister of Labor Lia Olguța Vasilescu contradicted Teodorovici, stressing that the minimum wage will not be eliminated. On the other hand Teodorovici's statement gained traction from the business environment, the Association of Romanian Businessmen calling for public debates on the issue of maintaining or eliminating the minimum wage. On Wednesday, August 1st, the Constitutional Court of Romania published the motivation behind the decision of unconstitutionality of the Draft Bill for the creation of the Development and Investment Sovereign Fund (FSDI). CCR's decision highlights that regardless of the legal nature of FSDI, its establishment must be enacted as an administrative measure, (Gov't's decision) and not through a law adopted in Parliament. On July 18, the Court ruled that the Fund must be established through Gov't Resolution. The National Council for SMEs (CNIPMMR) argued against the establishment of the Fund, deeming it illegal.

Probe into happy splash puddle clip
Probe into happy splash puddle clip
A motorist who was filmed drenching children at a bus stop by going through a puddle could face prosecution, police have said.
Kerry Callard's driving in Plymouth, Devon, came to the attention of officers after a 30-second movie clip was posted on YouTube.
A male voice is heard commenting on the clip saying: "Here we go, ready to drench the kids!" and later: "That was brilliant! Awesome!"
The footage from inside the car captures the drive down Weston Mill Hill and through the large puddle where the unfortunate youngsters are waiting.
Police said the 29-year-old had contacted them voluntarily about the incident last Thursday and the evidence was now being reviewed.
Although the extract has been removed from YouTube there are several other so-called "happy splashing" videos on the internet.
A spokesman for Devon and Cornwall Police said: "We had three complaints from members of the public and as a result a 29-year-old woman was interviewed. The file has gone to the CPS for consideration."
Callard has claimed the children asked to be splashed and would not have done it otherwise.
She said: "The fun factor is mostly gone from life these days but they were playing in puddles, like kids always have done. If the kids weren't saying 'Splash me, splash me', I certainly wouldn't have done it. I'm not a serial splasher."
But the force said the children's possible agreement to the stunt would make no difference to how the standard of driving was judged. A motorist from Somerset who soaked a workman by driving through a puddle was prosecuted in 2005. He was fined £150 and given three penalty points by magistrates in Yeovil after he admitted driving without due consideration.
Whose done it too

Life this week did not go according to my plans, but it ended up being a great week! I'd looked forward to going on our first backpacking trip of the year for weeks, but wet weather and our lack of gear for comfortably dealing with it foiled those plans. This turned out to be a good thing, since against our expectations, we hardly struggled at all carrying much heavier loads than usual for a day hike, and we were able to double our mileage for the day. Then, instead of a damp, cold, sleepless night in our tent, we drove home for an excellent dinner and a good night of sleep.
Sunday, we slept in, then Andy made a huge Irish-inspired breakfast of bangers, rashers, potatoes, onion, mushrooms, fried eggs, and sliced tomato. It was enough to satisfy even the hungriest hobbit! Then, after relaxing for a few hours to let the breakfast settle, we pulled on a packs again and went for a long walk on the Powerline Trail. We managed in all the work of a backpacking trip, with all the comforts of home in between.

My First Real Kiss
When I was 11, I went to Episcopalian summer camp, Camp Crucis. Up until this time, I was kind of a teapot kid – short and stout. And kind of a tomboy. I didn't think guys liked me like that. But that summer proved me wrong. (cue music)
My Granny was kind of a weight-obsessed bitch. The technical term, I now know is 'Anorexic chain smoker.' But back then, we just said 'bitch' and we weren't wrong. Well, I didn't say it. I was a good little girl. But if I were to go back in time and give that little girl a word for Granny, it'd be 'bitch.'
She was obsessed with my mother's and my physical imperfections. When I was 8, she suggested I make a girdle out of a tire's inner tube. That's what she did, she said. One summer day, she sat in our kitchen, staring at me and chain-smoking. Then she opened her mouth and said, "You know, when I was your age, I wanted to get myself in shape for boys. I made a girdle out of an inner tube. Then all the boys liked me. You should do that."
Um, again, I'm 8.
The kitchen walls were yellow paint and plywood. It was the 70's in Grand Prairie, Texas. And it was hot. We were sitting at the table with the red-checkered table cloth. A giant wooden spoon hung helpless on the wall. What am I supposed to say to that? I stared at her age spots as her bony hands delivered her cigarette to her mouth over and over. Her spiky shoulders and saggy boobs poked at her striped sweater. The papery skin on her face reached down toward the linoleum fake-tile floor.
This is the woman who's counseling me about my looks and suggesting that no man would have me.
God forbid I'd be an old maid by 9. She didn't know abut my affair with Andrew, which was the talk of all my stuffed animals. Or that I had recently experienced a playground wedding to Jimmy Lakey. To her, I was just some fat loser. And she wanted me to contort my form into rubber so I could get me some.
"Um, okay," I mumbled. But, I didn't make a tire girdle, or duct tape corset or any other Days of Yore hillbilly apparatus. But I did do what any people pleasing 10 year old would, I went on a diet. To appease Granny, and to make myself acceptable to mankind, when I was 10, I went on a crash diet. Hot on the heels of '9 to 5' success it was called the Dolly Parton diet. Also known as the Cabbage Soup diet, because you get to eat cabbage soup – all you want all day long. Yay? Otherwise, Day 1, you eat fruit, Day 2, vegetables, Day 3: fruit and vegetables. Ohmygod, it was horrible. Day 4 – bananas and milk. Day 5 – beef and tomatoes. I forget Days 6 and 7. I think I've blacked them out from self-hatred.
Anyway, the diet worked and I lost about 15 pounds. One and a half pounds lost for each tender year I'd been alive. Granny was thrilled. Finally, a thin granddaughter. Dreams do come true!
And that summer, at age 11, I went back to Camp Crucis. This year, there would be boys and girls there together, and I was nervous. Sure, I could score with my best friend's brother and guys at school, but these were camp guys. The Big Time. I didn't know if I would have any pull here. And honestly, it was tough week. There was a movie, but I got sick from too many Otter pops. There was a dance, I danced, but didn't end up with a boyfriend or anything. No guys said they loved me or tried to feel me up, so I didn't know if I was pretty.
Until the last day.
There was a camp counselor there, David. He was so, so cute. Brown hair, tan, lean. Handsome. There weren't many handsome people in Grand Prairie, so I was a little star struck, and excited to be exposed to such a thing. I'd say he looked like Armand Assante in 'Little Darlings,' --because he did—but I won't, because I don't want you to think I'm making it up, or transferring that movie to my life, which I'm not. But he really looked like that. He was beautiful. We had talked a little, crossed paths here and there during my week of swimming, singing, and crafts. But there was no real connection. He was a counselor, 17 at least, and way out of my league. We were worlds apart.
On the last day, I was emotional, bidding new friends good-bye until next year, packing my things and getting my bags to the bus. It was about 104 degrees, so mid-waiting, I headed into the cafeteria for some water. And that's when it happened.
I opened the door to the Mess Hall, stepped inside and stopped. There he was. That Armand-Assante-looking mother fucker. So cute and dreamy in his Green Camp Crucis Counselor shirt and cut-offs. Not just any cut-offs, but the cool kind you make yourself, with fringey rectangles at the bottom. They stopped at the perfect place on his sun-kissed legs, which were cute and tanned all the way down to his masculine sandals.
He waved and walked over to me. Can you fucking believe it? I froze, to make sure he wasn't communicating with someone behind me. He stood in front of me and told me it was nice to meet me. I agreed. I'm not sure if that made any sense.
We small-talked a bit, as I blushed and looked down, equally intrigued and terrified to look into his green eyes. Eventually, another counselor stuck her head in the door and announced it was last call to catch the bus. A few campers rushed out into the sunlight and David the Camp Counselor and I were alone.
I managed to look directly at him, just as he wrapped his arms around me, dipped me and kissed me in the most tender, strong, sexy, romantic, inappropriate fairy tale kiss that's ever been kissed. I closed my eyes. My heart pounded and my head spun, just like they say. And somehow I knew to lift one leg, just like in a black and white movie. I wanted to peek, but knew to keep my eyes closed. The most beautiful man in North Texas, maybe the world, was kissing me. He could have had his pick of any pre-teen campers, but he chose ME. I hoped it could last forever. I wished everyone I knew could see me. Sadly, it would be another few decades before we'd have cell phone cameras, or Facebook, or I would have snapped a quick shot and made it my profile pic, and hoped it wouldn't lead to any legal action being taken against David.
The kiss was fantastic. He was a man and really knew what he was doing. Not like those 8 and 10 year olds I'd been making out with. This guy had stubble.
The kiss concluded and he set me up right. We composed ourselves and hadn't noticed that during the kiss … another counselor had walked in. And seen everything. "Hey, so, what's going on?" he asked awkwardly.
Still heady from our 'The Moment' I blurted, "We're rehearsing… for a play," and David chimed in, "Yeah, for a play. We're rehearsing." Teamwork! I'd seen it in a movie or something and knew it was a clever thing to say. I was also letting David know that I was cool, cosmopolitan. I lived in Grand Prairie, sure. But I camped – summered if you will – in Grandbury, a good 40 minutes away. By bus. I wanted David to know that he'd kissed, not a child, but a self-possessed 11-year-old woman.
And, now I knew that I could attract a hot guy. I could be loved by a man. Boo-ya! Take that Granny! Oh, shit. It was only after the diet. That old bitch was right.
We smiled and parted ways. We'd had our moment unscathed. I hoped he'd bounce back into my life, like happens in Sandra Bullock movies, but I never saw him again. Hopefully, he's not still kissing 11-year-olds, but if he is, I hope he's thinking of me.

I also picked up this magazine from the venue in which James Vincent McMorrow played; Article Magazine. I love the cover of the magazine, the photography and colours used and also the simple but effective typeface used. It also contained some interesting information based on art, music, photography, design and fashion. I hope to come across this magazine again!

According TMZ,
The woman wanted by cops for allegedly being an accessory to rape involving Mystikal says she can prove the alleged victim wasn't sexually assaulted by the rapper.
Tenichia Wafford is wanted because cops say she tried to strong-arm the alleged victim into dropping charges that Mystikal and another man raped her in October of last year in Louisiana.
Tenichia admits she called the woman, but only because they were friends, and that's when the alleged victim told her there was no rape. It's unclear if Tenichia is saying the alleged victim stated there was sexual contact with consent or no sexual contact at all. Tenichia says she recorded her conversation with the alleged victim.
Both Tenichia and Mystikal have turned themselves in and was booked for first degree rape.
Other sources reported this update of the Mystikal rape case:
A Harker Heights woman turned herself into a Louisiana jail Monday afternoon for her alleged role in a rape case involving the rapper Mystikal and Killeen rapper Avereweone Holman. Michael Tyler (Mystikal), 46, also turned himself in to Caddo Correctional Center Monday afternoon, according a Angie Willhite, Shreveport Police Department PIO.
The New Orleans rapper was allegedly involved in an October 2016 rape of a woman in Shreveport, Louisiana. Holman was arrested by the US Marshall's Task Force in Killeen for his alleged involvement in the case.
According to a press release, DNA evidence recovered during an initial investigation linked Tyler and Holman to the alleged rape. Warrants were issued for both Tyler and Holman charging both with one count of First Degree Rape with bonds set a $2 million each.
Wafford was an associate of Mystikal and Holman. She allegedly sought the victim out to convince her to drop the charge. A warrant was later issued for her arrest charging her to one count of Accessory After the Fact to First Degree Rape with a bond set at $200,000.
Mystikal plead guilty to sexual battery of an incident involving his hairstylist in 2003. He was sentenced to six years in prison and was released in 2010.

Between all of the entertaining and cooking that I do on a weekly basis, I have developed a few tips over the years that have really helped to maximize both the practicality and functionality of my kitchen. These are really easy tips/adjustments that can be made in a matter of minutes and will not only increase the organization level in your kitchen, but also enhance your kitchen's overall convenience factor. Whether you have a big dreamy kitchen or a cubby kitchen (like yours truly) today's post will help you achieve some serious "Kitchen Zen!"
Trash Bags in the Bottom of Trash Can
This is a tip that I learned from my mom and have implemented throughout my home because it is so genius! Keep a stack of fresh trash bags at the bottom of your garbage can. By doing this, you will be able to quickly and easily line your garbage can with a fresh bag when it's time to take out the trash. Storing your extra bags in the bottom of your garbage pail will not only alleviate storage space in your utility closet but it will also save you from having to fumble around for a fresh bag every time your trash can needs freshening.
Pen and Post-its in Kitchen
Pen and post-its are a party prep must have! The day before hosting a party I usually like to get as much of the food prep done as possible. For example, assembling a hot dip so that I am only left with minimal cooking/heating right before the party. I love using post-it notes to label the bake time and temperature on those party foods I have made ahead of time. By using post-it notes I can avoid having a million cookbooks out and clear countertops for plating/serving. Post-it notes are also great to use for assigning foods to serving dishes when prepping for a party, grocery shopping reminders and notes to your significant other and/or kids. An all around fab kitchen addition that I have found to be supremely helpful.
When most people think of using labels in their kitchen, it's typically to list the contents of a container. While that is certainly a great use for labels in the kitchen, I have found using these mini dot labels to be extremely helpful for keeping track of food expiration dates. I cannot even begin to tell you how I have struggled over the years with those perishable items that read "use within x days of opening." Who can remember all of those dates!?! Use these labels to mark your perishables with the date opened so you will never lose track again! In addition, I have also found these labels to be extremely helpful with tracking the age of my spices (because the expiration date isn't necessarily an accurate indication that the spices are at the end of their shelf life--- see this article).
Keeping Lighters in every room with candles or votives
Lighting a kitchen candle, birthday candles, tapers on my dining room table, etc... I have found it to be so convenient having a lighter stored in my kitchen drawer. Not necessarily one of those tools you would naturally think to include in your kitchen drawer, but one that I would definitely recommend adding.

Surfing Freight Trains
"How are you feeling after that?" I asked.
"My body is fine, I'm just super bummed," Keenan said. "I've been waiting for this day since December 24th, 2011, and I want to be out there with those guys."
I looked down at his brand new gun, a surfboard long enough and fast enough to catch and ride the biggest waves, its individual fiberglass strands splayed open… the ocean dealt its 9'8" lipstick-red body a clean chop. The whomp whomp whomp whomp of the Coast Guard chopper renewed my senses – big wave surfing was still going off at San Francisco's Ocean Beach.
OB, as it's known to locals, is one of those rare places on earth where one of Nature's greatest achievements – the ocean and its fury – slams directly into one of Man's greatest achievements – the city and its fury. A few times a year, some of the world's largest waves crash here, while city residents sip lattes and PBR on its shore.
I was following a group of friends whose mouths run when the words big wave are uttered. After we swam together in college, these guys picked up surfboards and I picked up skis, each of us seeking new means to satisfy our physical calling. I wasn't a regular member of their ocean crew, but I was a regular listener to their ocean stories. It was time to join them and save a small piece of what some called the best swell in 20 years.
I dubbed this crew the Amateur-Pros, a name that gathered little excitement, not even a single smile; they just continued waxing their boards. The A-Ps get one, maybe two chances a year to surf big waves. They can't afford the time to chase waves around the world because they're chasing careers. So, with little practice but plenty of intensity, they throw themselves down 20-30 foot waves the height of suburban homes, the type of waves that snap boards and necks with a startling indifference. These guys paddle with the pros who are surfing Mavericks for pay, but here it's the A-Ps who are paying – with broken boards and broken bodies. They exude an obsessive spirit and quietly acknowledge the risks, then dive into the 50-degree whitewater and push through the break.
"Holy shit, the waves are freight trains today," Sam said.
"What does that mean?" I asked.
"It means they're moving fast and will smash you like a freight train," he said.
"So once you guys paddle out, do you know what's happening to the other guys?" I asked.
"No, it's chaos," Sam said. "When you're on the outside of the break (the open ocean), you have no idea what's happening on the inside (the crashing whitewater). And when you're on the inside, you have no idea what's happening on the outside – you're taking 20-footers on the head, being held under water for up to a minute, and hoping for a opportunity to get back out. Sometimes that battle lasts half an hour."
"Jesus... so you didn't know Chris got out early and Keenan broke his board on the second wave?" I asked.
"No," he said. "I had no idea what happened to them 'til I came in."
Sam's words surprised me – despite being out there together, each surfer was very much alone. It seemed, in photographing from the safety of the bluff, I was the only one with a perspective on the individual stories developing in the water – the massive wave that knocked Chris out early, the ten-wave set Keenan endured to paddle back out, the bit of luck that contributed to Sam's epic session.
Even though each was alone and their pursuits looked different, they were each living a similar narrative, a narrative that will always exist for those who seek it, no matter how safe we insist our society becomes. Each of them was stubbornly existing at the slippery edge of their own existence – the spot reserved for the crazy ones. They were hoping to reach, if only for a second, the place where the perfection of Human output – a full exercising of the body and the mind – matches the perfection of Nature's output. The place where the purest connection to oneself and to the earth exist together.

Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich has a rather curious new addition built in to his latest oversized yacht. The 557-foot boat Eclipse, the price tag of which has almost doubled since original plans were drawn to almost $1.2 billion, set sail this week with a slew of show-off features, from two helipads, two swimming pools and six-foot movie screens in all guest cabins, to a mini-submarine and missile-proof windows to combat piracy.
It might not seem like somebody with such ostentatious tastes would crave privacy, but along with these expensive toys, Ambramovich has installed an anti-paparazzi shield. Lasers sweep the surroundings and when they detect a CCD, they fire a bolt of light right at the camera to obliterate any photograph. According to the Times, these dont run all the time, so friends and guests should still be able to grab snaps. Instead, they will be activated when guards spot the scourge of professional photography, paparazzi, loitering nearby.
We dig it, although the British courts might not be so pleased. UK photo magazine Amateur Photographer asked a London lawyer about the legalities of destroying photos from afar. Heres what he said: intermeddling with goods belonging to someone else, or altering their condition, is a trespass to goods and will entitle the photographer to claim compensation without having to prove loss.

News Archive
Seventh Grade Social Studies classes recently studied figures of the religious freedom movement in Colonial America. In these units, religious freedom upstanders such as Roger Williams, William Penn and Lady Moody of Brooklyn were studied. (Moody, the only woman given a charter of land in the Thirteen Colonies also held the first Quaker meeting in all of North America in her home.)
While studying these important historical figures and how they shaped the nation, news broke of a deadly mass shooting at a synagogue in Squirrel Hill, PA, where Jewish worshipers were targeted. Given the news, the Social Studies classes then incorporated lessons on the history of antisemitism from ancient times, through the Middle Ages, to more modern times.
Students spoke about how they could be allies to victims of persecution and encourage more tolerance in society. As a response, they wrote letters to members of the local Bay Ridge Jewish Center. The letters included heartfelt messages such as "We stand for our community, We stand for diversity, We stand with our neighbor..."
The notes will be delivered to the Bay Ridge Jewish Center by a student who is a member of the center.
Founded in 1998, Bay Ridge Prep is an independent, K-12 college preparatory school offering exceptional courses and intimate class sizes in a socially-mature and positive environment.

Arcade display to mark centenary
The team at Sanderson Arcade in Morpeth is marking the centenary of voting rights for women this month with a special display along the centre's Edwardian style gallery.
It has been dressed in the Suffragette colours of white, green and purple and images featuring some of the women involved in the struggle for voting rights are included.
Emmeline Pankhurst and Annie Kenney are among those to be featured, along with Emily Davison – who was buried in the churchyard of St Mary's in Morpeth. The display also shows newspaper articles and posters from that era and will be in place at the Arcade through to International Women's Day on March 8.
It comes in the same month as Amnesty International and the Morpeth Herald started their call for readers to nominate the incredible women who are making a real difference in their local area.
Three years ago, Sanderson Arcade named one of the buildings at the centre Davison House in memory of Emily Davison and a special display chronicling the campaign for voting rights can also be found there.
Assistant centre manager, Lottie Thompson, said: "We are very proud of Morpeth's role in the history of the Suffragette movement and delighted to be able to pay tribute to some of these amazing women with our special display.
"We hope our customers will enjoy it and also take time to see the display of memorabilia at Davison House."
The gallery display has been created with the help of Penni Blythe from Emily Inspires!
In addition, a Suffragette-themed tearoom and market is planned for March 10, 10am to 4pm, at Morpeth Town Hall.
• To nominate an amazing woman in your local area, please visit www.amnesty.org.uk/suffragettespiritAll women must have carried out work to help others in their local area within the last 10 years.
All of the successful nominees will be contacted to give their consent prior to being placed on the Suffragette Spirit Map of Britain.
This campaign has been funded by players of the People's Postcode Lottery.

The Media Cleanse - An observation of what silence is/
At birth, our brain has over one hundred trillion neural connections. Almost none of these connections are myelinated (coated in fat to speed signaling), so we're pretty much useless at defending ourselves, or even basic bodily functions. From birth to about three years of age, our environment and genetic coding not only reinforce (myelinate) connections we need on a daily basis, but unused connections are destroyed by our own brain simply because we don't use them. This process gradually slows until our teenage years, but the truth is that our brain is shaped by what we learn from the environment around us and the people in our lives. Put in simpler terms, we are born one person, and graduate into our twenties as a person shaped by the world around us. Change any one life event, or hundreds of small observations, and we could have been a vastly different individual.
Putting the nature vs nurture argument aside, this got me thinking about how the world around us continues to shape us even after age 25 when this process slows to a crawl. What has the world set us up to be? Does the world and what we choose to focus on continue to influence who we are as an individual? And how can we know what is really us, or what is a byproduct of these external influences?
Today, we are bombarded with noise and other people's opinions on an alarming frequency. One researcher analyzed the advertising practices of the media and estimated we are advertised to upwards of 5,000 times per day. So called experts on half formed platforms impart their knowledge to us constantly and often in contradiction to what we've heard just the day before. Even Facebook censors us from the opposing views we hold on to so dearly as part of our identity, stymieing or critical thinking muscles and further polarizing our opinions.
All of these reasons and more have lead me to start a purely observational experiment with N=1, me. For a period of seven days, I will create silence. No so called experts on podcasts telling me how to run my life, no movies or television portraying unrealistic relationships or conflicts, no video games providing a false sense of accomplishment, and no music to cover the beauty of my own thoughts. I've even chose to read only books that will stimulate thought through questions, rather than cherry picked science and stories that tell me to root for a fictional character rather than myself.
I have no idea whether my brain will prune away neurons shaped by the media, nor do I have any idea whether my brain will myelinate more of 'me.' At worst, it'll be a long meditation, and at best, I might come out a new person with new habits and appreciations for life. Regardless, I have been aching for an adventure and extreme experience, and the resistance I've heard via social media reinforces my resolve to accomplish the task.
Follow along via this blog, and my YouTube channel (search for Succeed With Omid) to see whether I lose my mind, or become a modern day Yoda.

Hello, While in drive the truck at traffic light waiting on the signal to turn sometimes acts like its in neutral and revs but will not go,then it finally goes followed by almost a thump,thump sound from rear wheels.no burning smells or leaks .I have put the truck in(gear) park then back to drive just to make sure its in gear.it also has 4x4 .almost feels like the rear gets locked up.I have had it now for 3 years always kept up on maintenance.Help
My car has 48880 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
Hi there. You are correct; this is weird - especially with less than 50,000 miles on your well maintained Nissan Titan. In most cases, this type of situation is caused by an obstruction of transmission fluid inside the hydraulic lines of the transmission. It can cause gears to become stuck until, like you indicated in your inquiry, you put in in park, then back into gear. Sometimes simply flushing the transmission fluid and changing the filter will solve this issue. However, it could be something entirely different with either linkage or the differential. It is probably best to first, call your dealership and verify that there are no recalls or service bulletins for your vehicle in regards to the issues you're describing (since it is still likely under powertrain warranty). If they can't help you, feel free to have one of our mobile mechanics come to your location and complete a car is hard to shift inspection. Perhaps they can replicate the symptoms and determine a course of action.
Our certified mechanics come to you ・Backed by 12-month, 12,000-mile guarantee・Fair and transparent pricing

Often, we are offering content, products and service for people with native languages other than English or own specific language. In this situation, there are things to consider when we want to build our own multi-lingual website. There are billions of people who don't speak English natively and it is important for us to serve their requirements. There are many subjects can be difficult understand, so it is important to present the information with native language. This will improve the overall comprehension. People will be better able to understand our topics and this is something that we want to achieve.
As an example, there are websites that are related to engineering or pharmaceutics. These topics may contain multiple phrases that can be difficult to comprehend. It is our job to make sure that people are able to understand them better. We may also need to provide product information and sales copy in proper languages. There are different languages that we can use to allow people understand our information better, such as Arabic, Chinese, French, Dutch, Persian and others. There are things to consider before we start our multi-lingual website. The best platform that we should use for our website is Unicode.
Unicode can be considered as a numeric presentation of specific characters, with the ability to show up to 65,535 characters. This should allow us to access many characters that are used by many languages. We also need the appropriate tools for creating webpages based on the Unicode format. There are many web development tools that include Unicode support. When choosing a web development tool, we should make sure that there are options to design something based on specific languages. There could be specific HTML tags that need to be inserted in the codes to ensure better accessibility.
When creating a multi-lingual website, it is also important to understand the nature of the language. Each language has specific sets of grammars. Middle Easter languages are read from right to left, so it is important to adapt the layout to allow people read the content properly. In Microsoft Windows, it should be easy to adapt the system to specific languages and keyboards. When using our website, users will use special input methods and this is something that we may need to consider. When users type in special characters in the registration forms and search fields, we should make sure that the website can handle that.
There are design and navigation considerations that we should focus on. Some languages may require us to apply some changes in the overall navigation and design of our website. As an example, the vertical menu bar can obstruct the flow of the content, if the text is read from right to left. This is something that we need to consider when designing the web page. The change from one language to another shouldn't cause significant alteration in navigation and image placement. This can be achieved only if content becomes the center of the website and design of the website is made flexible.

You look like you're 25!
She's not 25 anymore. She's 26 today. And as beautiful as she was the day our grandpa nearly rolled out of his chair laughing at her new hairdo. She may have been 14 or 15; I don't remember now, but she'd colored her hair or cut it and our dear sweet and unfiltered patriarch of the family thought this was the funniest thing since Barney Fife. You just had to be there.
I don't remember the day Kelli Don was born. I remember insisting her name be Kelli after Kelly Kapowski, from Saved by the Bell, and my parents were hip enough to give in to my 5 year old hopes and dreams. As you can imagine, my world was a bit turned upside down when Kelli came into the world kicking and screaming and I've a handful of memories where I was less than nurturing and gentle as a big sister (I'm now paying for my sins with two kids at home that take turns being mean to the other. I deserve this headache). I'm sorry, sissy.
I do a terrible job of calling my siblings. There's three of them. Really, it's quite despicable as the eldest child. I have excuses surely, but nobody has time for that. Kelli lives in San Diego and it always makes my day to hear her voice on the other end of the phone or to get a text from her. Sometimes we have nothing to talk about (in these instances we do our best impressions of Grandma, "weeeelllllll"), but I miss her when we haven't talked in too long.
I'm really proud of my little sister. She loves her home in San Diego and after serving in the US Marine Corps, she is working hard as a college student. She is a girl who does what she wants to do and I can't help but envy her. She has traveled to the most amazing places and I know she'll go anywhere she sets her mind to. I loved listening to her stories of when she worked for a General in Croatia or when she set out to travel Hungary, Poland, and more all by herself for several months. Seriously, she's amazing. She has the biggest heart of anyone I know, but has more ferocity than old John Wayne himself. She's smart. She's beautiful. She's strong. She's one of a kind.
Kelli is the lovely girl holding the American flag
Don't believe me? Check out these testimonials:
When Kelly was in 8th grade, she was voted in as a peer mediator. When we were all in the elevator, there was a sign that said" Do Not Jump in elevator". Guess who started jumping! I was horrified! Quiet little Kelly! Everyone started laughing! Stink pot! -Aunt Connie
Jessie and I would just like to say that we love her and miss her and are SO PROUD of everything she has accomplished! We were reminiscing about having sleep overs at grandmas on the "hippie pad", taking luke warm baths (because grandma didn't want to burn us) and waking up for homemade biscuits and gravy. Beans and cornbread for dinner and grandma having to tell us COUNTLESS times to be quiet and go to bed. Threatening to spank us but we knew she never would. Also going to the old barn with the chicken coop and playing around. And rides on the 3 wheeler :) -Emily and Jessie
Remember that time when threw your dad out of the pool? Haha. -Tyler
Me and Grandpa love you very much. We're very proud of you because you're so brave Andy go off to far off places. But, always be careful. -Grandma
Happy Birthday aunt Kelli. I love you- Evie
Kelli is so unique and always finds a way to make me laugh, even if I'm trying to be mad at her! -Rachael
Miss ya, Kelli Kelli!!!! Come home soon!! -Billy
I love her and I'm sure glad I went to see her in May. I had a great time. So proud of her. -Dad

How-to: Disable Guest Login Ubuntu 11.10
'Guest' suddenly appeared with the LightDM login manager in 11.10 and I just want to take it out of the login list.
This is easy enough if you're using the default LightDM in Ubuntu 11.10. Edit the LightDM configuration file /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf, with root privilege:
sudo gedit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
In the section SeatDefaults and add the line 'allow-guest=false' in the manner of:
Save the document. It needs a restart, or you can use a terminal command:
sudo restart lightdm
Which will return to your login screen where the guest acount is disabled. This will also effectively kill everything in your current session, so save and close anything else that's running first.
If you're using GDM (which was the default in previous Ubuntu releases), it's a package removal, you have to uninstall gdm-guest-session. RC

Aaron Smith
b. 1964, Fremont, CA
Captivated by Victorian- and Edwardian-era representations of ideal masculinity, Aaron Smith explores ideas of strength and vulnerability in the male image. Through his use of vibrant colors, lively brushstrokes, and generously applied oil paint, Smith contradicts the stoic bravado embodied by men in portraits from 18th- and early 19th-century England. He also animates still life paintings and depictions of statues with a loose hand and otherworldly hues. The artist attended the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, where he is now Associate Chair. He was the first artist in residence at the J. Paul Getty Museum.

Sussex Walks // Red House Common
The A275 runs north from Lewes and runs up to Ashdown Forest. As you pass the turning to Barcombe you start to come into South Chailey, Chailey village follows and finally North Chailey. None of the Chaileys evoke much excitement on passing through but these three little clusters of homes hide their own Sussex secrets in the form of incredible walking land, a network of permissive footpaths and bridleways and an incredible amount of open common land - who knew? Chailey Common is in fact a nature reserve and boasts 450 acres of lowland heathland. I drive through on my way to shop at Townings but until recent months the paths looked boggy and treacherous. But by chance I picked up some leaflets on the commons and was flicking through them over breakfast one morning and ended up walking Jessie there in the evening. Red House common is the largest of the Chailey commons and from the road you would never believe that this common has such stunning views over the Sussex countryside. It's particularly stunning when there's a dramatic sunset or on a misty day.
I parked on Warrs Hill Lane and headed right taking in the sight of the colourful bracken and array of different trees littering the eyeline. You then come to the brow and the views come into sight - I was grateful of the bench to just sit and take it in! The Sussex countryside has a magnificent drama and the birds just danced around us while we quietly appreciated it. Due to the commons land status (escaping the 18th Century Enclosure Act) it has remained undeveloped and unimproved and instead the bracken has been cut back by commoners for many years - this only adds to the magic of it.
There's plenty to explore in the bracken and take in the fresh air before heading back up towards the windmill. The grounds of the windmill are incredible, well worth a peek over the fence! You then head back around the common, very likely passing a fair few horse riders and dog walkers on the way.
Red House Common would be perfect for a picnic and you get a real sense of cleansing the lungs here. Did you know that your lungs are one of your main detoxification organs?
The Chailey Commons society have an excellent body of information on their website about the commons and the dedicated Red House Common leaflet is available here.

How did you become involved in fashion design? Back in the day, when I was about to choose which college to go, I did not have anything in mind since I was busy dancing as a professional ballerina with a Sao Paulo-based ballet company, traveling all around South America, Cuba and Brazil for performances and training. But I knew I had to go to college, so last minute, researching I found out about Fashion college, read about it and it seemed something that could work. Since day one I absolutely loved everything about it, it was me, it completed my personality. I ended up leaving the ballet on my last year of college for an internship and start working on my career in the fashion industry.
What materials do you most like to work with? I use a lot of gabardine, in different weights, I love silk jacquards, organza, wools, chiffon, etc... I like to play around with fabrics that give structured forms without being heavy or bulky, thinking on the practical side of it considering the lifestyle we lead today, always running around, from work to dinner, traveling and we want to be able to pack good styles without worrying too much about wrinkling it or occupying too much space.
I normally mix different fabrics in a single style, I think it is too boring to make the entire piece of a single fabric, even if it is a tiny detail I believe it gives it a special touch.
How does your geographical location influence your aesthetic? I've lived in different places along my way, São Paulo, a bit in Chicago, London, Florianópolis and currently New York; most of the time in an urban and international environment. It definitely influences the way I design.
I believe like me, many people grow up like that and have these different cultures and references in their background. I think every outfit must be suitable for any of these locations of each women's journey, cosmopolitan and contemporary.
What's been your greatest professional achievement to date? I think the best is yet to come. I just launched my line in the U.S. last year (2016), it is growing step-by-step. I am very happy to say that women in different parts of the world are wearing my designs. I have clients in Japan, Germany, Brazil, here in the U.S. and the perspectives are to go further.
What's one thing people would never guess about you? People are surprised when I say I like to skateboard and snowboard, I have this side of my personality that is super feminine, but I also love to have fun in that cool way.

Drug overdose deaths reach record in Mississippi
Mississippi drug overdose deaths have reached a record high — boosted in part by heroin, sometimes laced with the even more dangerous fentanyl.
"Mississippi is emerging on the brink of a super pandemic," said state Bureau of Narcotics Director John Dowdy.
In 2016, Mississippi saw at least 211 deaths from drug overdoses — the highest in state history.
Dowdy derived that number from death certificates. He suspects the real number is much higher as evidenced by drug tests, which would increase the deaths to 220 (with oxycodone detected in 45 deaths and fentanyl detected in 33 deaths).
But not every coroner uses the state Crime Lab, Dowdy said. The state Department of Health puts the number of drug poisoning deaths, excluding homicides and suicides, at 274.
Marshall Fisher said heroin had almost vanished from the landscape when he moved in 2003 to Mississippi to head the Drug Enforcement Administration office.
Fisher said the only heroin cases he saw then were when authorities busted cars heading for other places, such as Chicago and Atlanta.
In 2011, he began to witness a wave of overdoses involving opioids — a family of the often addictive painkillers derived from the morphine molecule, including morphine, fentanyl, oxycodone, hydrocodone and their illicit cousin, heroin.
Mississippi is one of a handful of states where there are more opioid prescriptions than there are people.
In fact, the state prescribes so many opioid painkillers that each man, woman and child could swallow a pill a day for 67 days without running out.
More Americans die each year of drug overdoses than died during the entire Vietnam War.
"It's like two jumbo jets going down every week," said Fisher, who now heads the state Department of Public Safety. "Would we accept that from the airline industry?"
Middle- or upper-class, Caucasian, private school, fraternity kids.
Kostas Matheos, who owns Bridge to Recovery in Ridgeland, says this is the profile of heroin addicts lately and they start out taking "a couple of pills"
To help stop what he calls a "scourge," Gov. Phil Bryant has formed the Opioid and Heroin Study Task Force. Congress has approved $3.58 million to the state Department of Mental Health to aid in that fight.
Dowdy said many of those addicted to opioids are switching to heroin as a cheaper alternative, pointing out that seizures testing positive for heroin at the state Crime Lab were 67 in 2012 and are expected to top 400 this year, if the current trend continues.
"A prescription opioid costs $65 to $85 a pill on the street," he said, "but a package of heroin may run only $10."
One of the governor's task force members, family practice physician Dr. Randy Easterling of Vicksburg, said he hardly saw a heroin addict years ago. Now he sees two or three a day.
But he believes there is an even more dangerous threat these days than heroin and that is fentanyl, which is 50 times stronger than the illicit drug. The prescription drug, sold in timed-release skin patches, is available only to cancer patients suffering from breakthrough pain.
Addicts abuse the patches by melting them, he said. "It's a long-lasting opioid, so the effect on the body is erratic."
Mexican cartels are now lacing heroin with fentanyl, in part because the painkiller is cheaper to produce than heroin, he said.
"The fentanyl is being made in China. You don't know what you're getting," he said. "Then it's being mixed with heroin that you don't know where it's from. People are dying."
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that deaths from fentanyl have increased 75 percent over the past year. One of them was the music legend Prince.
Mirroring the nation
In Mississippi, Dowdy is working to keep heroin and fentanyl off the streets. "The $50 million question is, what are we going to do when we're like an Ohio?" he asked.
Ohio leads the nation with thousands of opioid overdose deaths a year. One coroner's office became so backed up with corpses it had to call up a local funeral home to hold the extra bodies.
Nationally, heroin deaths have surpassed gun homicides for the first time, according to the CDC.
In Mississippi, the number of people treated for heroin addiction has more than tripled over the past three years, going from 99 to 306, according to the state Department of Mental Health.
"We are mirroring the national trend," Dowdy said.
In four years, heroin-related overdose deaths in Mississippi have skyrocketed from one in 2011 to 35 in 2015.
To combat overdoses, Mississippi lawmakers approved a bill that provided legal immunity to first responders who administer naloxone or similar drugs to reverse an overdose's effects.
But the bill included no funding to provide responders with the drug, which retails for about $125 for two doses.
Finding help
Southaven native Branden Cooper, 24, was addicted to heroin for years before finding recovery.
At age 8, a relative got him drunk, and a year later introduced him to marijuana. On his 11th birthday, that relative laid out lines of cocaine for his birthday.
He and his 12-year-old sister, Jessica, began using opioids and other drugs.
A few years later, he rode with his sister to buy 14 Xanax bars. He said the dealer had run out of most of them, but offered "something that's just as good, and it's a lot stronger."
Mississippi is one of a handful of states where there are more opioid prescriptions than there are people.
That drug turned out to be heroin. "It was the first time for us to shoot heroin together," Cooper said. "My sister and I fell in love with it the moment it entered our system."
In that moment, he said, "it was like everything ceased — the pain, all the troubles we didn't want to talk about, everything. We finally felt that moment of peace."
From that time on, they pursued that promise of peace, but found none, bouncing in and out of hospitals, rehab centers and jails.
In 2015, he finally found sobriety, but his sister continued to struggle. On Dec. 1, just after returning to Mississippi following a stint in a Texas rehab, she overdosed on heroin.
Cooper thinks often about his sister as he works with recovering addicts at Turning Point recovery center in Southaven. He serves as alumni coordinator for Addiction Campuses.
For him, it is a way to try and save those like his sister, caught in the spiral of addiction.
"I tell those in the program to do the next right thing because there are more people who love you than you know," he said. "That was what I didn't know."
Offering help
Jackson native Kostas Matheos started in the recovery field in 1999 in Santa Fe, where heroin was so out of control it was sold out of a white trailer with a drive-through window. Even fourth-graders were shooting up.
In 2006, she returned to her hometown and started the Bridge to Recovery in Ridgeland.
Now the same heroin she encountered at the start of her career is overwhelming clients.
"I've come back home to Mississippi, and now this is most of what I treat," she said. "It all starts with Mom's Lortabs or Dad's Percocets in the cabinet."
Many heroin addicts these days fit the same profile — "middle- or upper-class, Caucasian, private school, fraternity kids," she said. "Initially, they take a couple of pills."
They become hooked, she said, and when they are unable to get pills and feel "dope sick, that's when they find heroin."
In most overdoses she said she has seen lately, "the heroin has been laced with fentanyl."
All this is coming at the time that governments are cutting funding for drug treatment, recovery and mental health, she said, adding the lone center in Jackson, where addicts could get off drugs, New Vision, closed recently.
"Here we are the capital of our state, and there's nowhere for a person to be detoxed," she said.
The other day, she started counting all the funerals she has attended of those who died at the hands of addiction, she said. "I thought, 'Oh, my God, I've been to more funerals over the past two years than the other 16 years combined.'"
New laws needed
Dowdy would like to see Mississippi adopt a law similar to a federal statute, which allows a life sentence for drug dealers when their drugs kill users.
Easterling, who serves on the state Board of Medical Licensure, would like for the oversight boards for doctors, dentists and nurse practitioners to unite on tougher standards for opioid prescriptions.
After Kentucky began requiring health care providers to check the prescription-monitoring program before prescribing opioids, the state saw significant drops in both opioid prescriptions and overdose deaths.
Fisher would like to see Mississippi physicians required to check as well.
"We must educate our citizens that all pain doesn't need to be managed by opioids," he said. "Tylenol and Advil work fine in many instances, according to physicians I talk with."
There must be a shift in thinking, he said. "Insurance companies and Medicaid should consider treating people suffering from the disease of addiction as if it is any other disease."
2017 Opioid and Heroin Drug Summit announced
Multiple government agencies and non-profit organizations have joined forces to hold the 2017 Opioid and Heroin Drug Summit from July 11-13 at Broadmoor Baptist Church in Madison. Invited to attend are parents, educators, policy makers, opinion leaders, stakeholders, journalists, physicians, pharmacists, counselors, law enforcement officers and members of the clergy.
The summit will be three days of education from peoplewho are leading the fight to combat the opioid and heroin epidemic. Among them are Sam Quinones, author of the book "Dreamland: The True Tale of America's Opiate Epidemic;" Dr. Marv Seppala, Chief Medical Officer of the Hazledon Betty Ford Foundation; and Dr. Keith Berge of the Mayo Clinic.
The drug summit also will feature a family forum on the nights of July 11-12 and will include former Major League Baseball player Darryl Strawberry among others.

Governor signs bills to curb opioid abuse in Louisiana
Obtaining prescriptions for highly addictive opioid drugs in Louisiana will soon be more difficult under bills signed into law Monday by Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards, who is hoping to turn the state into a leader in battling the nationwide opioid epidemic.
Edwards signed three bills that had breezed through the Legislature during the recently concluded regular session. All three had been part of the Democratic governor's agenda.
"There's hope for anyone at risk of falling into addiction as well as those who are already struggling," said Edwards, whose state has the nation's sixth-highest opioid prescription rate. "We hear you and we're acting."
The measures include one that will require physicians to consult a statewide prescription monitoring system before prescribing opioid drugs to patients, some of whom may be "doctor-shopping." The monitoring program already exists, but doctors had not previously been mandated to use it.
"Doctors need to think before they wield the pen," said Dr. Karen DeSalvo, the former acting U.S. Assistant Secretary for Health, who supported the proposals.
Another bill, sponsored by New Orleans Rep. Helena Moreno will limit first-time prescriptions for acute pain to seven days, down from 30. The law does not apply to chronic conditions.
Edwards also signed a bill sponsored by Rep. Walt Leger of New Orleans to establish a task force that will study how to prevent opioid abuse.
Federal data shows there were 861 fatal drug overdoses in Louisiana in 2015, a 12.4 percent increase from the previous year.
Moreno's and Leger's bills go into effect Aug. 1. The prescription monitoring bill, sponsored by St. Martin Parish Sen. Fred Mills will take effect Jan. 1.

On a personal note, I'm grateful all my Japanese friends have now been accounted for and are safe. I paced a lot waiting to hear news and was incredibly happy once I knew for sure that each of you were okay. Whew. I love ya'll and I know you are happy to be alive, but also looking at an immense clean-up effort, plus a containment effort for those power plants, as so many in Japan struggle with food shortages, power outs, lack of sufficient water, and other hardships.
I cannot speak for all, but I'd like to think we all speak as one when I say that we will help you through this in whatever way we can. That's what friends do.
Blessings and healing light and love,

Wonder Woman is a big hit on- and off-screen
I saw the movie "Wonder Woman" last week and was impressed.
I'm glad to see the super heroine is getting much the same exposure as male comic-book heroes have gotten when their tales were made into blockbuster movies. About time, I say.
I didn't have to look far to find Wonder Woman merchandise Tuesday when I was out working on this column. I know it's a fad that will fade away, but it's nice to know female fans have a choice, because guys have plenty in Iron Man, Spider-Man and company.
What I found was goods for females of all ages and sizes:
At Gordman's in Fairview Heights, I found a $12.99 13-by-19-inch fiberboard poster-size plaque of Wonder Woman. It's a replica of the 2007 DC comic book cover No. 13 "From the Flames."
Macy's at St. Clair Square in Fairview Heights has junior-size, sleeveless gray tanks that show Diana Prince in a black suit at 4:59 p.m., then next to her, the transformed super heroine in WW attire at 5 p.m. On sale now for $14.99.
World Market in Shiloh had cool kids' glasses with WW's trademark gold headband and wavy black (but plastic here) hair. Cost: $8.99. The retailers also has bendable small figurines for $6.99.
Target in Shiloh carries two-piece tank and boxer shorts sets in XS to XL (in misses lingerie) for $19.99. WW's face is on the tank top, while the bottoms are red with stars.
Also around town:
If you're a fan of Chip and Joanna Gaines of "Fixer Upper" fame on HGTV, their new line of furniture, textiles and accessories sold in retail outlets may be of interest to you. Magnolia Home is the name to look for. I found some of the collection a couple weeks ago at Pier 1 Imports and Bed, Bath & Beyond, which are two of the many mortar-and-brick retailers the Gaineses are selling their merchandise to. An online check shows Value City Furniture carries the furniture line and you'll find a few pieces at Nordstrom at the Galleria in St. Louis. You'll have to decide whether the prices are in line with your budget; I thought everything was a bit expensive.
Old Time Pottery in Fairview Heights has 30 percent off all its outdoor cushions for chairs, chaises, benches and more, with sale prices starting at $3.49 up to $34.99 through the end of the month. This retailer always has the largest selection in the area at the best prices, vying only with At Home in O'Fallon.
Macy's will hold a grand opening celebration of its new Backstage outlet store June 17 inside the St. Clair Square location. I'll get a sneak peek next week and let you know June 16 what you'll find there.

Everyone has their lists for what they want to accomplish in the new year and I figured if I didn't do one I'm not a "real" blogger. Ahahaha
So here's mine.
- Be a better wife.
- Be more active in my community; whether that is getting involved in community service, politics, or something else I find worthwhile.
- Continue working out on a regular basis.
- Be a better listener.
- Be a better mother.
- Do well in school and get ready to transfer to Berkley.
- Be a better friend.

Hour of Code/
Despite the bad press of Hawaii's public schools, I am continually impressed by my children's school, Momilani Elementary. Principal Doreen Higa and technology resource teacher, Shane Asselstine, recently put on a Hour of Code event with the assistance of the Hui O' Momilani PTSO. Hour of Code is a global movement to introduce people to computer science. It takes place each year during Computer Science Education Week(https://csedweek.org/). Over 200 hundred parents and students gathered after hours at Momilani Elementary School to participate in this computer coding event. The attendees did coding exercises that the children do in class. Many of the parents were curious to see what their kids were doing and came away with a much better appreciation of coding.
Mr. Asselstine is a globally renown leader in utilizing games like Minecraft to teach computing in the classroom. He has presented in conferences around the world and has contributed to books on the topic. In addition to teaching technology to third through sixth grades students, Shane spreads his knowledge to teachers through workshops and training classes.

Tag: deglaze
I recently read an article about edamame and all of its amazing health benefits. If you don't know much about edamame, it is a green soybean that is a great source of protein, contains all 8 essential amino acids and has no cholesterol of trans-fats. It is high in fiber and iron as well. I've like edamame for a while now, but this just makes eating it even better! It is a great addition to many meals and is definitely one to try if you haven't yet. This dish is simple- marinated shrimp and rice with edamame. When sautéing the shrimp, deglazing the pan adds a ton of flavor that regular sautéing wouldn't.

I've seen a lot of posts on Pinterest about Essential Oils. They have recommendations for different scents like sleep, relaxation, energy, etc. as well as recommendations for just good old smell good combinations.
