>> Jay: You're still glowing from your honeymoon.
>> I am. Thanks.
>> Jay: The last time I saw you --
>> How long does that last?
>> Jay: Well, I've been doing it for 22 years, it's still going. My wife's still glowing, so it works.
>> Well, good. Yeah, good.
>> Jay: But you have to know what to do.
[ Laughter ] But see, you look happy. You look content.
>> Thanks, I am.
>> Jay: 'Cause you and charlie sheen were just engaged the last time you were here.
>> Yeah, we were engaged. We got married a month later.
>> Jay: Okay, so see, I haven't talked to you about this. I've heard all sorts of rumors about the wedding, like what's the surprise song? What was that about?
>> Well, charlie's a huge baseball fanatic.
>> Jay: Right.
>> So to surprise him, I hired six gospel singers, and at the end, when he says, "i pronounce you man and wife," us leaving, they broke out into, "take me out to the ball game." And they were wearing red robes and hats -- baseball hats made it was cheesey, but it was fun for to us break the ice and the seriousness.
>> Jay: Well, cool. That's really neat. Now tell me, did you dance for the crowd? Did you do that whole thing, the whole --?
>> We had for our first dance -- we were a little nervous about doing our first dance in front of everyone, and charlie was nervous, too. And --
>> Jay: Does he dance, charlie, normally?
>> No, and we wanted to take lessons to make it really special, and I told him that I know -- that I worked with debbie allen on "undercover brother." So I called her and asked her if she would help us with our first dance.
>> Jay: So you brought in a choreographer?
>> Yeah, she --
[ Laughter ] And we had this whole really pretty routine.
>> Jay: Now did you put the feet down so charlie would have to -- ?
>> He's got some latin in him, so he did really good.
>> Jay: He has some latin? Oh, that's right. Of course he's got some latin. But see, I've never seen -- I've seen him in action figures, but I've never seen him actually get down.
>> Right.
>> Jay: So how was -- ?
>> We didn't want to screw up on our wedding night.
>> Jay: Was it a slow dance or was it something -- ?
>> It was a slow dance. It was --
>> Jay: Little salsa thing?
>> No salsa. Well, that's the next lesson. I really want to salsa with him and take lessons doing that.
>> Jay: I would love to watch charlie take salsa lessons. That would be --
[ Laughter ]
>> Maybe we could videotape it for you.
>> Jay: We'll do a hidden camera.
>> Okay.
>> Jay: Now where did you go for the honeymoon? Where did that take you?
>> We went to angola, which is this beautiful island.
>> Jay: Okay, okay, okay. So you're out on one of these -- was it like a cabin thing, or were you in a hotel?
>> No, we were in a resort hotel. And the only problem, it was beautiful except our bathroom was so bright, we had these windows that are almost eight feet tall.
>> Jay: Right.
>> We had to wear sunglasses in our bathroom because the walls are white. I mean, it's so bright.
>> Jay: That's really hollywood, wearing sunglasses when you go to the bathroom. Yeah, yeah.
[ Light laughter ] It doesn't get more hollywood than that. "Hang on, I'm going to the bathroom."
>> I know. We thought, "this is ridiculous. We have to do something about this." So we went to the store and got aluminum foil and spent --
>> Jay: Wouldn't that make it brighter?
>> No, we covered the windows with masking tape, made it dark so that we could go in there.
>> Jay: What do the people think? "Oh, look, the white trash family is moving in."
[ Laughter ]
>> Exactly, we were "the beverly hillbillies." He said only one other person has done that, and that was michael J. Fox.
>> Jay: Oh.
>> The only other person. Yeah.
>> Jay: Well, didn't they ever think of putting lower wattage in the --
>> It's not even the light.
>> Jay: It's the natural light?
>> It's the sun, yeah.
>> Jay: Oh, I see. It's the natural light. Okay, all right. All right. So now you've covered up the bathroom. That's the first.
>> And we're doing masks. I convinced him --
>> Jay: I'm sorry?
>> Masks on our face --
>> Jay: Doing masks on your faces?
>> Like mud masks.
>> Jay: Oh, mud masks.
>> He's never done that before.
>> Jay: Oh, this is not some kinky s & m pretend we're somebody else.
[ Laughter ] Oh, I thought it was like this thing with a zipper on it. It's not that kind?
[ Laughter ]
>> No, I said honey --
>> Jay: I'm confused, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I thought it was something else.
>> We got to that later.
>> Jay: We'll get to that later. Okay. Wait, now wait. Now what's the mud mask? Now tell me what that is.
>> You know, tighten up the skin, clean your pores.
>> Jay: Well, hang on. I didn't know charlie's skin needed tightening. How old is he now, 60, 65, charlie?
>> He's 70. Doesn't he look great?
>> Jay: Now what do you -- I mean, do you take his -- do you put his head in the mud, or is it some special mud from -- from the guadalupe mountains or something?
>> I don't know. It's this mud lavender mask, and I convinced him to try it on our honeymoon, and he did.
>> Jay: I love this. Guys try a lot of things on their honeymoon, but I haven't heard that one.
[ Laughter ]
>> It was very romantic.
>> Jay: Is that what this photo we have -- ? Is this charlie? It that him?
>> Yeah.
[ Laughter ]
>> Jay: Oh, well, that looks --
>> No, you have to -- he's going to divorce me over this.
>> Jay: Oh, yeah.
>> That is our tin foil.
[ Laughter and applause ]
>> Jay: Yeah, that's lovely.
>> He's so going to kill me. He doesn't know we showed that shot.
>> Jay: And how long -- how long does this stay on, the mud mask?
>> It takes about ten minutes.
>> Jay: Ten minutes, and then the pores are clean.
>> Right, and the pores are clean and tightened, and then you take it off.
>> Jay: See, I would love to see charlie with the mud mask and the tin foil dancing. I would love to see that.
>> Well, we have yoga shots that I didn't bring. We were doing yoga.
>> Jay: I will pay anything for those.
[ Light laughter ] Now tell us about the movie. Tell us about the film.
>> The movie, it's a very gritty urban crime drama with john leguizamo. And he's a drug lord and is trying to get out of that and gets involved with peter sarsgaard and I, who play a couple. And we're --
>> Jay: And you're like the straight couple?
>> At first, yeah.
>> Jay: At first. Oh, okay. All right. Here, let's see. Here's the scene. Let's take a look. Oh, okay, this is when you're with john. Okay, let's take a look.
>> Come here a second.
>> What? So what do you want to talk about?
>> I want to talk about you. I've never seen this before. Wow.
>> Pretty ugly, huh?
>> No.
>> I got a little reckless.
>> Don't look ugly. A little reckless?
>> Yeah, well.
>> Do they hurt?
>> When you poke them like that.
>> Only when I poke them? So how are you?
>> I don't want to talk about it. And has jack called you?
>> Jack? No, he didn't call. He's in miami with his mom.
>> What do you mean he's in miami? I thought he said he was in L.A.
>> You know what? I don't want to talk about jack.
[ Cheers and applause ]
>> Jay: You never -- you never watch yourself when these clips are on?
>> No. I can't -- no.
>> Jay: Really?
>> No. That's why I try and engage in conversation with you.
>> Jay: Oh, that's why you're talking to me. Thanks.
>> No, I like chatting with you.
>> Jay: When you go to the premiere, do you watch yourself?
>> No.
>> Jay: Why? Why is that?
>> I just can'T. It's very daunting and intimidating sitting there.
>> Jay: Really?
>> With a theater full of the industry.
>> Jay: 'Cause most actresses, "oh, look at me."
>> I hate it. I can'T.
>> Jay: Oh, you can't?
>> No.
>> Jay: So you've never seen any film you've been in?
>> A few.
>> Jay: Okay. Well, that's interesting. We'll have to get into that one next time you're here. We'll bring out -- we'll bring dr. Phil.
[ Laughter ] We can talk about that. Charlie can come out with his mask.
Can talk about his skin. Look, I'm oprah now. That'd be cool. Well, listen, congratulations.
>> Thank you.
>> Jay: I'm real happy for you. You se like a happy couple, and I love charlie. Charlie's a great guy.

The Newest Alternative to Night Clubs…Best Buy?
One particularly quiet Monday night, I got drunk at Island's Restaurant (I know, I know…too classy for words) and meandered over to the Best Buy next door. Has anyone ever been to a Best Buy while under the influence? It is pretty much a club. It literally has every aspect of a nightclub and/or lounge:
1) DJ and Turntables in the corner (ie. The Asian guy testing out the "DJ Hero" video game)
2) Couches and Plasma TVs (ie. The Home Theater section, where men plant themselves pretending that they are going to buy a TV, but really just want to escape the hell that is their wife and kids).
3) Dudes in collared shirts wandering around asking, "How I'm doing" (ie. the people who work there who are forced to wear those disgusting blue shirts)
All Best Buy needs is a bar and I would gladly pay a $20 cover to get in…
Next time one of you gets drunk at a family restaurant…please make it a point to go to Best Buy, so I won't be the only weirdo who gets drunks in Strip Malls.

Marc Walton bagged a second half hat-trick as Bedlington Terriers secured an emphatic 6-0 League Cup win over division two side Alnwick Town at Welfare Park.
Keelan Nellis opened the scoring with a bullet header inside three minutes and Adam Harvey doubled the advantage four minutes before the break.
Nellis headed home again five minutes after the break before Marc Walton scored three in the final half hour to round off an impressive display.
The hosts could not have started proceedings any better as Marc Dummett found Keelan Nellis from a corner and the defender made no mistake after losing his marker.
Bedlington looked dangerous going forward and Liam Davison went close before Alnwick created an opening but Frazer Nairn produced a brilliant save with his legs to deny Brad McLelland.
Adam Harvey doubled the lead just before the break with a goal that was well deserved after a great opening half to the game.
The midfielder ran at the back four and his trike found the bottom corner, leaving the keeper flat-footed.
Five minutes in the second half Dummett and Nellis again linked up and it was the latter who headed home as the ball went in off the post.
Another fairly good opportunity came the Town's way when Luc Glasper almost parried Harvey's shot into his own net, but to his relief the ball went just wide.
Dummett, once again, was involved in another Bedlington goal as they managed to find their fourth just inside the hour mark.
The full back drilled a low cross into the box and Marc Walton rifled home Mason Stephenson's lay-off, rounding off a neat counter-attack.
Marc Walton bagged his second on 74 minutes when he followed up new boy Scott Jasper's shot, finding the back of the net after the keeper parried the ball into his path.
Substitute Sam Walton fired off the crossbar on 80 minutes, and Nairn kept his clean-sheet intact with another great save from Ross Gair following a swift Alnwick move.
Bedlington notched number six two minutes later as game was played end-to-end.
Jasper, who showed great potential from coming off the bench, beat the offside trap and a well placed pass was thumped into the top corner by Marc Walton to complete his hat-trick.
Alnwick's heads were down and the Terriers showed no sign of easing off.
Jasper drilled a low across the six-yard box after being found by Sam Walton, but Dummett could only get a toe to the cross, hitting wide on the stretch.
The striker did have one more chance before the end, as could Marc Walton, but a well-earned and emphatic performance was rounded off with the first clean sheet of the season.
Bedlington Terriers: Nairn, L McGlen, Dummett, Liam Davison, Pendlebury (Capewell 61), Nellis, Stephenson (Jasper 66), Anjos (S Walton 57), M Walton, McBride, Harvey.

HAD we but World enough, and Time,
This coyness Lady were no crime.
We would sit down, and think which way
To walk, and pass our long Loves Day.
Thou by the Indian Ganges side 5 Should'st Rubies find: I by the Tide
Of Humber would complain. I would
Love you ten years before the Flood:
And you should if you please refuse
Till the Conversion of the Jews. 10 My vegetable Love should grow
Vaster than Empires, and more slow.
An hundred years should go to praise
Thine Eyes, and on thy Forehead Gaze.
Two hundred to adore each Breast: 15 But thirty thousand to the rest.
An Age at least to every part,
And the last Age should show your Heart.
For Lady you deserve this State;
Nor would I love at lower rate. 20
But at my back I alwaies hear
Times winged Charriot hurrying near:
And yonder all before us lye
Desarts of vast Eternity.
Thy Beauty shall no more be found; 25 Nor, in thy marble Vault, shall sound
My ecchoing Song: then Worms shall try
That long preserv'd Virginity:
And your quaint Honour turn to dust;
And into ashes all my Lust. 30 The Grave's a fine and private place,
But none I think do there embrace.
Now therefore, while the youthful hew
Sits on thy skin like morning lew,
And while thy willing Soul transpires 35 At every pore with instant Fires,

So, everything is looking good for the book launch at FantasyCon 2012 – except I won't be there.
It turns out that you have to be a member of Fantasy Con in order to attend. I didn't know.
Maybe I'm too naive. I really did think that, as it was my book being launched (amidst loads of others, of course) that I could just turn up and enjoy my 15 minutes of (extremely minor and limited) fame. After my publisher told me about the launch, I should have checked all the details on the Fantasy Con website. But I didn't. Then, yesterday, my wife suddenly asked if there was an entrance fee. I didn't know. My publisher hadn't mentioned it. He hadn't thought to mention it, and I hadn't thought to ask. So I emailed him yesterday evening and today when I got in from work I read his reply.
Oh well, life is full of irritations and disappointments and this is just one more.
So if you were planning to go along to say hello and maybe pick up a signed copy, I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed. Of course, if you have a membership you can still go along, and I would encourage you to do so. But I will only be there in spirit.

The team organizing the first ever global innovation event at the University of Nairobi meets at the Vice Chancellor's office earlier in the day.
Plans are now at an advanced stage for the University of Nairobi to hold for the first time an event that will bring together technology and entrepreneurship minds from both the private and public sectors, local or international in origin.
Themed "Innovate and Prosper", the "Nairobi Innovation Week" coordinated by a team chaired by Dr. Tonny Omwansa is set to begin in August 5, ending on a Friday of the same month this year.
And after meeting with the university's Vice Chancellor Prof. Peter Mbithi in his office earlier this morning, the organizing team comprising Prof. Lucy Irungu, Deputy Vice-Chancellor(Research, Production and Extension) got the approval to involve several schools of the entire university, which will incidentally be used for showcasing innovations by University of Nairobi innovators, innovators from other universities, entrepreneurs, Government institutions, incubation hubs, investors and invited guests from countries including Israel, USA and China.
The function originated and spearheaded by C4DLab would also confer a platform for presentations of academic papers, showcase of successful innovation case studies. Yet all is to culminate into discussion sessions touching closely on ways of making Kenya a top IT ecosystem in Africa.
Chairing the meeting, the Vice-Chancellor urged the planners to be the trailblazers in the technology and innovation sectors, given that the university is re-branding and transforming rapidly into a world-class institution also renowned for novel IT-based solutions. He eventually assured the organizing committee of full support.
Meanwhile, full details of the event will be posted on a website to go live next week, paving way for a call for academic papers on innovation, technology and entrepreneurship.

Neil is fully qualified in curtain walling repairs, and has been using this knowledge for several years.
Curtain Walling is very useful and widely used in commercial premises. It separates the exterior from the interior, but only supports its own weight and loads imposed on it. As the majority of curtain walls are not a structural element to the building, they can become damaged over time. This is where we can help.

* Structural Glazing *
* Full Maintenance Service *
* Colour Change Services *
* Adapt Smoke Vents (Automatic Opening Vents) *

* Facade Repairs *
* Method Statement *
* Risk Assessment *
* Health and Safety *
* New Rubber Seals and Gaskets *
With access to specialist equipment, NW Window Repairs can guarantee a complete refurbishment option to your commercial premises, including colour change respray to your curtain walling for any sized building, regardless of height.
New curtain walling can run in to hundreds of thousands of pounds to purchase from new. With a refurbishment option from NW Window Repairs, we can make this cost more desirable for you than replacement.
Within existing commercial buildings when they are being refurbished, all exits need to be up to Fire Regulation Standards.
NW Window Repairs can re-glaze your existing windows to meet these regulations where you have a Fire Escape route which pass them. We have taken projects that include the following:
* Redesigning Curtain Walling for Smoke Ventilation *
* Georgian Wired Glass *
* Ceramic Glass *
* Heat Resistant Mastic, Silicon and Plastics *
* Fire Escape Hinge Replacement and Upgrade *
With many of our commercial clients, they require their properties to match with their own specific brand. This is where NW Window Repairs can help!
Using the RAL Colour Code List, we can change the colour of your existing windows, doors and Shop Fronts, to match the colour of your commercial identity. With our unique "check before you buy" colour change demo, you can upload* a photograph of your premises to see what it would look like before we spray.
* Please note: There is a small charge for uploading your own photograph *
NW Window Repairs can offer a full refurbishment option for your Shop Front, and offer a complete repair service. We can replace the following:
* Overhead Door Closures *
* Door Pivots *

Turtlenecks are trending right now. TheStyleBlogger recently had a great spread on them and GQ featured a turtleneck montage from the runways in Europe.
I personally am not a fan of turtlenecks because I feel like I end up looking like this.
That's not to say it can't be done, and done well. Check out TheStyleBlogger's piece here.
|"America's Best Dressed Real Man"
The first thing to note is that this isn't a look you can pull off using a vintage piece. Designers are refurbishing the turtleneck to fit better in a multitude of fabrics like fine gauge, merino, and cashmere. If a turtleneck is your thing, update your wardrobe and donate all those old ones you wore shoveling your driveway. A turtleneck is a type of sweater, and should be worn and styled as such. If it looks like a piece of long underwear, get rid of it.
Uniqlo has a good selection of turtlenecks at reasonable prices. In fact, Uniqlo itself is a solid store for guys who want to upgrade their wardrobe but don't have the disposable income to splurge on truly high-end pieces. Uniqlo is like a trendier version of the Gap. Unfortunately they don't have a store nearby (unless you're in NYC), but you can order online. Check it out next time you're on a shopping spree.

These photographs can be taken using a DSLR (if you own one), compact digital camera or your mobile phone. The finished (unedited) photographs must be uploaded to your school folders by the end of day on the 21st of August. Saved under Summer Assignment. (A day in the life e.g.)
A photographic story (Narrative photography or sometimes called documentary photography), involves carefully selecting images and scenes to create a story. Rather than focusing on one key moment of an event, narrative photography captures images and moments throughout an event, allowing the story to unfold.
Suggested Titles
A day in the life….. The Teenage angle…
Our Days…… My eyes…..
The view from in here…. My world……
Possible Ideas
- Don't take any images of anyone's face – keep your subjects and yourself anonymous.
- Take a photo every hour for a full day – wherever you are whatever you are doing i.e. brushing your teeth, bus stop, at shops, getting ready to go out…….
- Only take what is above and below you not straight ahead.
- Take images of what is directly below your feet, maybe including your feet. In bed, on the carpet, in park, with your friends in a group.
- Self portraits in mirrors, water, windows and reflective surfaces.
- Only take images of the people with you not yourself. (keep their identity hidden by taking them whilst they are facing away or just their hands
Hints and Tips
- Keep your flash off unless you are shooting at night or in very low light.
- Always look for a different angle, unusual and quirky angles can work well when telling a story.
- Work completely in colour.
Assessment Criteria
Your project will be assessed on the following:
Concept – Is your idea innovative, quirky and exciting. Does it clearly illustrate your day etc?
Quality – Are the compositions, focus and lighting appropriate for the images?
Accuracy – Do you have at least the minimum amount of images and is the submission on time?
The assignment is due on Thursday 21st August.
Failure to submit the assignment on time or incomplete will result in concern letters being sent home. So don't let yourself down!

Area food banks are hurting.
Budget deficits and inflation have pushed the plight of the needy to the background, say food bank operators, and the food banks are among the first to feel the pinch.
Area food banks are hurting.
Budget deficits and inflation have pushed the plight of the needy to the background, say food bank operators, and the food banks are among the first to feel the pinch.
The Rev. Bill Seaman, director of the Lehigh County Conference of Churches, which runs a soup kitchen seven days a week, says the conference is operating on a $10,000 to $15,000 budget deficit and the soup kitchen has a predicted deficit of $2,500 to $3,000 by year's end.
"We're feeding an average of 115 meals a day as compared with 105 last year," says Seaman.
Shirley Reis, director of the Allentown Area Ecumenical Food Bank, says donations and contributions are way behind last year's.
"The Boy Scout canned food drive was a blessing for us," Reis said. "But if contributions don't pick up in the weeks to come, we may have to start curtailing our program in January. That means there will be even more poor families going without adequate food."
The Lehigh Valley Food Bank, the parent organization that serves all the emergency pantries and food banks in the Valley, now serves 145 member agencies -- almost twice as many as two years ago.
Member agencies depend on the Lehigh Valley Food Bank for more food when their own resources are depleted, says its director, Mary Ann Sarson. Besides wholesaling food coming through government programs and private industry, Sarson appeals to manufacturers to donate their surplus or slow-moving items.
Sarson says, "We try to get a well-rounded variety for our agencies. My main problem is getting meat and cheese donors and some expensive personal hygiene items like shampoo and diapers."
Because food items are the first priority, Sarson doesn't actively seek the more expensive items but never turns them down when they are offered, she says.
Sarson invites prospective donors to call 691-5620 for the location of an emergency pantry in their neighborhood.
"With a membership of 145 pantries, there is sure to be one close by which can use donations."
The Ecumenical Food Bank, at the rear of St. John's Lutheran Church, 32 S. 5th St., served 8,585 families in 1989-90, an increase of 1,500 over the previous period.
"Last month we served more than 2,400 persons, and the numbers are increasing daily," said Reis.
The bank is open 9:30 a.m.-noon Monday through Friday. About 180 volunteers staff the bank every month. Some take referrals in the office while others pack bags of food in the pantry.
Support comes from the generosity of local churches, organizations, individuals and the Lehigh Valley Food Bank.
Donations are decreasing while those in need are increasing in number, says Reis.
"I am praying that donations will increase enough to carry the bank through this season of caring and sharing," she said.
Monetary donations and food items are needed, she adds. Both may be dropped off at the food bank between 9:30 a.m. and noon Mondays through Fridays.
Besides providing a three-day supply of food each month to all their clients, the Ecumenical Food Bank supplies food used in the Supercupboard program sponsored by the Conference of Churches.
Supercupboard is a self-enablement program that teaches mothers how to shop for and prepare nutritional, low-cost meals. Child care is provided and lunch is served throughout the program.
Also working closely with the Ecumenical Food Bank is the Pathways Program, which helps clients move toward self-sufficiency.
The Ecumenical Food Bank also provides soup and sandwiches daily for the Daybreak program at St. Paul's Lutheran Church, 38 S. 8th St.
The soup kitchen, now in its ninth year, is sponsored by the Conference of Churches.
"When the kitchen was started, most of us felt it was a joke reminiscent of the Depression days and certainly would not last," said Seaman. "How wrong we were. It has grown 7-8 percent each year since and we are feeding at least 3,500 meals more this year than last."
Volunteers serve a hot, nutritionally balanced meal at noon three days a week at St. James AME Zion Church, 410 Union St., Allentown, and four days at Casa Guadalupe, 141 Linden St., Allentown. The exception is Thanksgiving, when area churches take over, serving turkey dinners.
The conference has $50 gift certificates available to give for Christmas or any special occasion. With that amount, the conference can feed about 110 people. The sponsor is invited to join at the meal as an anonymous guest.

Welcome back to 25 Days of Stitchmas here at Stitching the Night Away where we're counting down the days to Christmas with awesome cross stitch projects. Every day from now to Christmas we'll take a look at two holiday stitching projects per day.
Renaissance Angel Stocking from The Vermillion Stitchery is simply beautiful. The model is stitched on 14 count Navy Aida with a project stitch count of 197 x 229.
Christmas angels are perhaps the most popular form of angels that are used in our celebrations. Angels are believed to be immortal, who live in Heaven, and act as intermediaries between God and Humankind.
Traditionally, pictures and poems on angels portray them having human bodies with wings sprouting from their backs.
'Wings' are said to symbolize Innocence, Virtue, Purity, Peace and Love, which place them above Humans though they are still under God.
It was the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament of Christianity, which first mentions that angels had a human body and angel wings and could fly. (Just a little bit of Angel history and trivia)
Our ornament selection today is also from The Vermillion Stitchery, this Angel Ornaments pattern leaflet has eight different angel ornament patterns to stitch.
These ornaments can be stitched on white plastic canvas or your favorite evenweave or aida fabric and finshed in just about any way you'd like for decoration. They use DMC threads, but don't be afraid to mix it up a little and add a little sparkle to things on your own.
Happy Stitchmas!

Recently, I've had a lot more to do. I don't mean in terms of homework or stress, but just having a lot more of a social life, friends to hang out with after school, parties to go to in the weekend and so on.
I really enjoy it. I love spontaneously running into town to buy subway after school and spending the rest of the day by the docks.
One thing I hate, is having to say no to stuff. This is for a bunch of reasons, but mostly because I have a severe case of FOMO - which I might do a separate post about, because I know a lot of people are like this. I find it really hard to turn down hanging out when I know my friends will be going, even if I wouldn't necessarily like to be there myself.
I've realised recently however, that I simply can't say yes to everything. I say yes when I can and I make sure to spend a lot of time with my friends, but sometimes I don't feel like it, and that's okay.
I've always been the type of person who needs me-time. I think we all do, to an extent, we need time to just watch netflix, bake a batch of muffins or just chill for a few hours or even days.
This is important. I used to see it as something I just did when I was bored, but I've come to realise that this is just as important for me personally to spend time with friends. I get grumpy if I haven't had a few hours to recharge over the past few days, and I get grumpy if I'm around the same people for more than a weekend.
None of this is their fault, it's just that everyone needs to recharge.
So this is your little reminder to please, please please take a bit of time for yourself whenever you need it. Sure, it might mean that you won't have time to finish the science homework, but you need to remember that your mental health and clarity is so much more important than homework or anything else.
Take time doing something you enjoy, and I swear you'll feel better. Goddamn, I sound like an advert, but I really mean it. Whether it's going on a run, baking, taking a bath (ugh I hate baths) or watching netflix, just do something for you today.
Let me know what YOU like to do during your 'me time'!

I love to just sit down and read a good book. I rarely get to read (for enjoyment) anymore and when I can find a second to do it everything just feels better in my life! Loved this post, it's a good reminder! XO -KimReplyDelete
Thank you! Reading is something I always vow to do more of, but I never get around to it!Delete
great post !!!ReplyDelete
love your blog !!
Thank you so much!Delete
I can completely relate to this post. I'm definitely an introvert which means that I get exhausted with going out to often haha. Having me time is definitely important and watching Netflix is deffo great for that xxxReplyDelete
Same! Netflix always helps, as does cuddling with my dog <3Delete
Awesome post. Since being able, even when I went to the library, I like to watch YouTube vids now. I don't know, but seeing favourite things, is fun and calms my mind down. If anything, it would to be read a book or do little fun doodle, a bit different to working drawings, if it makes sense, lolls. Take care, and thank you for spreading the message. Glad you can just do that. Everyone needs it in their life, even if they may not understand it now. Take care always.ReplyDeleteReplies
I agree with the youtube thing! Thank you so much <3Delete
I do exactely the same thing and i'm still trying to stop it but I'm definitely improving :) It's really difficult to accept that you can't and wont be there for everything in life and you can have perfectly nice experiences on your own and it's important to do some things on your own so you see who you are when you're not trying to mix into a group of people :)ReplyDelete
Definitely! This is such a great way of putting it, and I know I need to realise that I can't be there for everything.Delete

5 Ways to Tighten Skin Naturally
The skin is stretched and expected to contract every time you move. But, when it loses its elasticity, the skin becomes loose and cannot return to its original form. The ways to
tighten skin naturally
involve restoring the elasticity through nutrition, changing certain lifestyle habits, and increasing physical activity to ensure muscle firmness. Here are a few ways to
tighten skin naturally
Tone Your Muscles
Exercising regularly can help keep your body fit and the muscles toned. One of the reasons why the skin becomes loose is due to muscle wastage that results from lack of physical activity. As the skin is closely attached to the muscle, keeping your body physically active is important to help tighten it.
Increase Protein Intake
Protein is one of the most important nutrients required for your body. Your muscle and skin needs a continuous supply of protein for healing purposes and to replace the dead cells. Getting sufficient protein will also help retain the shape of your muscle structure and thus helping your skin stay in place.
Let Your Skin Sweat
Sweating can help your skin in many ways. It improves the elasticity of your skin by maintaining the pH value of your skin and keeping it moisturized. When the elasticity of your skin improves, your skin will look much younger.
Scrub Regularly
Another way to ensure improvement in your skin's elasticity is by regularly scrubbing it. It removes the dirt and oils accumulated in the pores, and also helps remove the dead skin cells.
Keep Yourself Moisturized
Dry skin is prone to aging prematurely and becoming either rigid or loose as it loses its elasticity. Drink at least three liters of water everyday and apply moisturizer to your skin after scrubbing it.
Having a regular healthy lifestyle that involves physical activity along with nutritious diet is the best way to avoid loosening of skin. If you can follow the above ways to
tighten skin naturally
, you will be able to prevent and even treat loosening of skin.

On February 22, 2012 (20 weeks 1 day), my husband and I received the news that our perfect pregnancy was not going to be as perfect as we once thought. Through a period of weeks, we have learned our beautiful baby girl has been diagnosed with an extremely rare and extremely severe chromosomal abnormality that affects 1:5,000 babies, Trisomy 13. Although we are saddened by this news, we continue to believe and trust God's will. The life of our Little Sephora is out of our hands. Her "upper story" has already been written and planned out for her. It is my job as her mother, to make her "lower story" a story to remember, and to fill her life and the lives that surround us with the happiness that she has brought us…until God decides her time to enter into Heaven has come. Through our experience thus far, we've seen through many family, friends, and even complete strangers, how our precious angel is changing lives. We continue to enjoy her movements, hiccups, my changing and ever growing belly every single day that we are blessed to carry her. Who ever would have thought I'd have to opportunity to nurture an angel to fly off to Heaven and share her Earthly experience to her newest friends when she gets there?
On May 18, 2012, at 32 weeks 3 days, I was admitted to the hospital and diagnosed with severe preeclampsia and HELLP Syndrome. Because of my condition, I had to have an emergency c-section. Sephora Angeline was born at 10:25pm weighing 3 pounds 9 ounces and was 16 inches long. She passed away in my arms 4 1/2 hours later. Her story will continue.
Thank you for following our Angel's Journey. Your love, encouragement, and support mean more to us than you will ever comprehend.

The apartment was very clean and well equipped and the owners were very helpful with advice on activities. They live in the building so are on hand if required. There are lots of activities around the area including walking, cycling, archery, mountain lifts and paragliding. Some are free with the Summercard included with the accommodation. I had a very busy week doing lots of activities but there is plenty of opportunity to take it easy at the many mountain huts. Goulash soup, hot chocolate and Schnaps are recommended :-)

Match Report: Wexford FC 1 - 2 Cobh Ramblers
Wexford FC will be disappointed not to have taken more from a game in which they were the better team for large chunks, but after an exciting game, most of the post-match discussion will revolve around referee Andrew Mullally.
Cobh started the brighter of the two teams, and came racing out of the starting blocks. Within the first 10 minutes Corey Chambers in the Wexford goal was called in to action tipping Charlie Fleming's header around the post from a Cobh corner kick. Then in the 12th minute, Mr. Mullally made his first big decision of the night, pointing to the spot to award Cobh a penalty. A cross came in from Charlie Fleming on the Cobh right, and it was brilliantly met by a diving header from Matthew Whelan, and an equally fantastic save from Corey Chambers diving to his right. But as everyone picked themselves up to carry on with the game, Craig McCabe was adjudged to have pushed Whelan to the floor, and was booked for the 'foul'. As is often the way, justice prevailed as Chambers dived low to his left to deny McCarthy, and pushed the ball around the post and out for a corner.
With 22 minutes on the clock, Wexford took the lead, scoring their first goal in 5 games, through Adam Hanlon. Wexford earned a throw-in deep in to Cobh territory on the left hand side. Reverting to a tactic used by previous Wexford teams, the throw was taken long by defender Craig McCabe. A Cobh head was the first to the ball, but the clearance only came as far as Hanlon on the edge of the box, and his right footed shot flew past Paul Hunt and in to the bottom corner of the goal.
Hanlon is really starting to become Wexford's go-to player, and was a constant threat to Cobh all evening. His tireless running and putting pressure on defenders would have left manager Damian Locke pleased.
Around the half hour mark, Cobh managed to level the tie. After a corner came in from the left, the ball was cleared as far as Cian Coleman approximately 20 yards out, to the left of goal. His shot back in was tame, but as it came through the crowd of players James McSweeney stuck out his foot and managed to deflect the ball past the helpless Chambers and in to the goal.
2 minutes after the equaliser however, Cobh should have been facing a Wexford penalty. Hanlon was played through on goal, and just as he was getting in to a shooting position, the Cobh hero from moments earlier, McSweeney, slid across when the ball was gone and completely took Hanlon out of the game. To the astonishment of everybody inside Ferrycarrig Park, referee Mullally blew his whistle and pointed away from the Cobh goal. Just to add insult to injury, he then showed Hanlon a yellow card for simulation.
The second half continued in the same vein as the first with lots of open play from both teams. Within 4 minutes, Wexford had another chance to score when Craig Hayes beat 'keeper Hunt to the ball only to see his attempt cleared off of the line by the alert Charlie Fleming, and then 2 minutes after this Eoin Porter had the ball in the net but he had unfairly gotten the better of his marker with a push.
With Wexford applying lots of pressure going forward, they turned off at the back after 75 minutes. An inswinging corner from the Cobh right was headed home by Matthew Whelan at the back post. It was one of the few times that Cobh had put any kind of play together in the Wexford half, but they were ruthless when the chance presented itself.

Bag Ban Update, Environmental Approvals,
Economic Impact Study of Bag Bans
by Pete Grande, CEO of Command Packaging
As many of you know, I have devoted a great amount of energy and time to ensure that legislators are aware of alternative solutions to simply banning products they don't like, such as plastic bags. Waste and litter issues are very important, however, the status quo is not an acceptable solution. While we take the position that bag bans create unintended consequences that do more harm than good, we understand the need to offer our customers an environmental, yet cost-effective alternative that meets both the legislated requirements and business needs. The following highlights some of our activities and information to help you and your customers make the best environmental choice.
We make it a priority to ensure alternatives to a Chinese reusable bag mandate are heard in every bag ban debate across the country.
As a result, all bag ordinances include language allowing thicker reusable plastic bags as an acceptable reusable bag alternative. Command Packaging is currently the only manufacturer with the certification by a California State approved third party testing laboratory that validates our reusable bags meet the reusable bag requirements.
Statement of approval for Command's bags from San Francisco's Department of the Environment:
''Command Packaging has provided us third party documentation certifying that their Ameritote and Super Wave reusable bags meet San Francisco's reusable bag specifications. Based on this information, we would consider these bags compliant with the ordinance.'' ~ City of San Francisco Department of the Environment
Majority of the communities across the U.S. accept the minimum 2.25 mil thick gauge as a reusable bag alternative. There are only a handful of communities that require 3.0 mil to 4 mil gauges. Specifics can be found in our Bag Ban Update link now available on our website at (or give us a call, we can help): http://www.commandpackaging.com/bag_ban.asp
Latest study on the ''Economic Affects of Plastic Bag Bans in Los Angeles County'' is also available on Command's website under Environmental Reports.Click here to download the report directly
''Made in the USA'' is important to promote and support
LA County and many other communities are requiring the manufacturer's name and country of origin be printed on the bags to help differentiate the made in the USA bags (Command's bags are ALL made in the USA).
Additionally, with the downturn in the economy and growing concern regarding imports, made in the USA products are preferred by consumers. The Ralph Lauren controversy for choosing to supply the U.S. Olympic uniforms made in China is one recent example of American consumers' frustration with the lack of support for U.S. manufacturers. Click here to read the article (www.washingtonpost.com).
Bloomberg's Business Week once reported so eloquently, ''Made in USA still means something...U.S. is still the world's leading manufacturer and in most of the world, Made in the USA is still synonymous with quality and high value.''
Command Packaging's Mission Statement:
We are committed to being a socially and environmentally responsible provider
of premium and cost-effective products.
Give us a call, we can help you choose the best environmental solution for your area: 800.996.BAGS (2247)

I Can Travel On My Own . . .
Our SMART Travel Program (STP) increases independent, individual mobility to decrease barriers people with disabilities often encounter accessing work and community. We use smart phones to teach individuals we serve to safely ride public mass transit, teaching individuals with to navigate travel using picture, word and audio prompts and GPS landmarks (a mapped route).
Adults participating in the pilot SMART Travel Program receive Independent Living services from ARCA and have a need to travel to and from work, medical appointments, grocery stores and recreational sites. They choose destinations they want to learn.
ARCA developed this innovative transportation project under Federal Transit Administration's New Freedom Funding and collaborates with the Mid-Region Council of Governments and the City of Albuquerque.

dandelion bomobob
When I was a young girl I would make a wish and then blow on a dandelion puff and watch the seeds catch a breeze and take my desires into the future.
The snow keeps falling, and all day I've stood before my office window, and then the picture window of my home, sending wishes out into the icy air.
May they all come true. May every one circle back for me.
And may all your mid-winter wishes come true.
artist bio: An exhibited, award-winning photographer, I've been passionate about photography for just about as long as I can remember, right from that very first 1960s Kodak Brownie around my wrist at Upper Canada Village. A great deal of my adult life has been spent travelling the world for extended periods, always with cameras in tow. My photographic interests run the gamut from the joy of carnivals to nature to ephemera to street life. Although somewhat reluctantly entrenched in the digital age, I still shoot mostly film, and principally with old cameras that I salvage and repair. My present collection of old clunkers numbers about 60!

FU, H., GE, B., XIN, Y., WU, R., FERNANDEZ, C., HUANG, J. and PENG, Q. 2017. Achieving high strength and ductility in magnesium alloys via densely hierarchical double contraction nanotwins. Nano letters [online], 17(10), pages 6117-6124. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.nanolett.7b02641
Light-weight magnesium alloys with high strength are especially desirable for the applications in transportation, aerospace, electronic components, and implants owing to their high stiffness, abundant raw materials, and environmental friendliness. Unfortunately, conventional strengthening methods mainly involve the formation of internal defects, in which particles and grain boundaries prohibit dislocation motion as well as compromise ductility invariably. Herein, we report a novel strategy for simultaneously achieving high specific yield strength (∼160 kN m kg–1) and good elongation (∼23.6%) in a duplex magnesium alloy containing 8 wt % lithium at room temperature, based on the introduction of densely hierarchical {101̅1}–{101̅1} double contraction nanotwins (DCTWs) and full-coherent hexagonal close-packed (hcp) particles in twin boundaries by ultrahigh pressure technique. These hierarchical nanoscaled DCTWs with stable interface characteristics not only bestow a large fraction of twin interface but also form interlaced continuous grids, hindering possible dislocation motions. Meanwhile, orderly aggregated particles offer supplemental pinning effect for overcoming latent softening roles of twin interface movement and detwinning process. The processes lead to a concomitant but unusual situation where double contraction twinning strengthens rather than weakens magnesium alloys. Those cutting-edge results provide underlying insights toward designing alternative and more innovative hcp-type structural materials with superior mechanical properties.

Qmail Engineered Trouble Shooting
When the load on the machine is high start by checking the concurrency of the smtp server
tail -F /var/log/smtp/current
The smtp service generates the highest load, so check how high your currency rate is and if it is maxing out. Also check for any error or warning messages.
If you find an error message it might indicate something like the mysql server is down or the p0f daemon is not running. Check that those services are running. You might want to restart the services and check for errors in their logs.
Also run the top command
Check the load levels. Normally a machine will be under 4. You should get an idea of your normal load levels. Check your qmailmrtg graphs for monthly and yearly load levels.
Watch the process as they run and see if any are chewing up the machine. Usually clamd, dspam or mysql will run all the time. Also check the number of processes running. Most servers have less than 1,000 anything more is kind of crazy.
Run the ps command to see what programs are running.
ps ax | more
The more command at the end will let you see a page at a time. Press the space bar for the next page.
On some machines, I've seen it was worth while shutting down all the processes and starting them back up. This can help if any program in the system gets hung up for any reason and is blocking the rest of the programs. This is similar to the windows idea of rebooting the whole machine. In linux we know the operating system is stable, so we can restart services instead of rebooting the machine.
It is also worth checking the disk space
df -h
That will display the disk space for each disk parition including the percent of space available. Look out when you go above 80%. Some machines hit 100% on the /var or /home partition. That normally shows up in people complaining about email. In that case be sure to clean out any old logs in /var/log and /var/log/httpd. You can use the du command like
du -sh /var/log/*
To get a nice readable list of directorys with their sizes. Look for any big directories where you can clean out space.
If the /home/vpopmail hosted partition is 100% full you'll need to start removing email and backing it up first if need be. One trick is to remove accounts that have not been accessed for a 6 months or a year.
vdeloldusers -eV -a365
will give you a list of all accounts older than 1 year (365 days).
If you want to actually remove those accounts run
vdeloldusers -eV -a365 -D
Without the -D option no actual accounts will be deleted.
Also check the /var/log/qmail/current log
tail -F /var/log/qmail/current
Look for any warning messages. Some domains may have a catchall to an account that does not exist. Clear those out. With the check user feature it is best for domains to use the bounce-no-mailbox option in the .qmail-default file like
| /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail bounce-no-mailbox
That is the most optimum setting. Using a catach to a users account will just get them collecting lots of spam since many spammers try different user names at each domain such as the well known dictionary attack. With the bounce-no-mailbox the smtp server validates that an actual account (or forward, alias or mailing list) exists before accepting the email.
If the machine does accept the email the catchall account is probably full and needs to be cleaned out. Or the account doesn't exist anymore because they got so much spam the user just deleted the account but the catch was not set back to bounce-no-mailbox. You'll need to fix those up too.
Also check for over quota accounts. Try to clean those if you can. If you see alot of over quota messages be sure to have the quota checking option turned on for the smtp server.

Today was a trend day higher for the U.S. stock index futures after several days of very low volatility. After an initial push lower this morning the market found direction and ground higher with little opportunity to buy a pullback. Then at 10:51AM CT a large buy stop was triggered in the Nasdaq 100 futures and it ignited the rest of the market. This is what it looked like before the stop was triggered.
There was little opportunity for shorts to get out because the pullbacks were so shallow. These two screenshots of the volume imbalance footprint chart show very clearly the bias in the market and how sellers were absorbed (shown in image above).
This chart shows how ALL the volume was at the ask (offer) price until the order was finally filled to completion. It is typical for the market to be very skittish and volatile for the next few minutes after a large stop order gets triggered.

A former teacher at a Colne secondary school was awarded an MBE in the New Year's Honour's List.
Anne Conlon, of Wilpshire, taught at Fishermore RC High School from 1979 up to her retirement in 2005 when she was assistant headteacher.
The award came as a total – but lovely – surpriseAnne Conlon
A graduate of Liverpool University, in 1980, Anne also served as head of English in her 26 years and was awarded the MBE alongside her friend and fellow teacher Peter Rose for their services to musical education and conservation in the UK and abroad.
Peter, a graduate of the Royal Manchester College of Music (now the RNCM), where he studied piano with Gordon Green, was appointed head of expressive arts at St Augustine's RC High School in Billington in 1980, and his massed choirs of more than 200 children aged 11-16 soon became renowned for their wonderful performances.
Always a keen singer and instrumentalist, as well as a talented writer and poet, Anne was very happy to accept Peter's request in 1980 to write the lyrics for their first musical collaboration The Conversion Job.
Together they went on to produce some outstanding music highlighting the impact of humanity on the environment.
During a professional partnership which has lasted for more than 30 years, the pair have produced award winning musicals which have been performed across the globe thanks to commissions from the World Wildlife Fund, as well as numerous productions for television.
In June 2014, Peter and Anne returned to St Augustine's and performed with more than 250 former choir members and musicians as well as the present choir to celebrate the school's 50th anniversary.
The performance included songs from the environmental musicals, Yanomamo, African Jigsaw, Ocean World, Arabica, Song of Creation and One Sun One World linked by specially written narrations.
The Just One World concert formed part of a fund-raising effort which raised more than £25,000 for the school's CAFOD appeal.
Peter and Anne said: "We would like to thank all of those who have offered congratulations and expressed such great pleasure at our being awarded MBEs in the New Year's Honours List.
"The award came as a total – but lovely – surprise. We do have to say that the award's citation 'for services to music education and conservation, in the UK and abroad' surely has to embrace every one of those who has been involved in our environmental choral works, whether as performer, colleague, parent, helper – and not least, close friend and family.
"In our Fair Trade musical, Arabica, we sang: '...Are you sailing on an empty sea? Do you journey on your own?'
Well, Anne and I have certainly not journeyed on our own since The Conversion Job, our very first collaboration way back in 1980.
"For over 25 years, we enjoyed the company of generations of young performers from St Augustine's RC High School in Billington, who through their amazing premiere performances in some of the country's most prestigious halls introduced our music to a nationwide audience.
"They never failed to attract standing ovations, and through their phenomenal TV, radio and CD recordings, they inspired hundreds of thousands of children throughout the world to sing out proudly the message of conservation, reminding audiences on every continent of our responsibility to care for the earth and all its inhabitants.
"So we gladly accept this award on behalf of each and every one of them."
School Business Manager at Fishermore, Edwina Yates, said: "I would like to express my delight for Anne on behalf of the school.
"This is a huge honour for her services to music and also to Catholic education, the basis of which she started from."

Orange Price for Fiction (winner)
The Song of Achilles Greece in the age of Heroes. Patroclus, an awkward young prince, has been exiled to Phthia to live in the shadow of King Peleus and his strong, beautiful son, Achilles. By all rights their paths should never cross, but Achilles takes the shamed prince as his friend, and as they grow into young men skilled in the arts of war and medicine, their bond blossoms into something far deeper — despite the displeasure of Achilles's mother Thetis, a cruel sea goddess. But then word comes that Helen of Sparta has been kidnapped. Torn between love and fear for his friend, Patroclus journeys with Achilles to Troy, little knowing that the years that follow will test everything they hold dear.
