I've really been loving Miss Selfridge's summer stock lately. I love being the ultimate girly girl when the sun shines so lace, florals and pastel colours are right up my street. I feel like all of these pieces can be dressed down for day time yet easily dress up for an evening out.
Also can you tell I'm loving the embellishment trend right now? I think their clothes are so reasonably priced considering the work that goes into the beading!
Annoyingly I popped in to buy the black playsuit last week after I decided I couldn't live without it any longer only to try it on and find out that it is definitely not made for tall people! Grr. So now I'm on a mission to find a similar one that will actually fit my long body. If anyone knows of any please do say!

Tehran - Blaming Israel's Mossad, Iran TV Airs Confessions in Murder of Scientists
Tehran - Iranian state television on Sunday broadcast purported confessions by more than a dozen suspects in connection with the killing of five nuclear scientists since 2010.
The broadcast showed some of the suspects re-enacting the assassinations in different districts of the capital Tehran. The 14 suspects shown on TV included eight men and six women.
The TV showed pictures from a military garrison it said was a training camp outside Tel Aviv in Israel. It said the suspects took courses there, including how to place magnetic bombs on cars - the method used in the killing of the scientists.
Iran says the attacks are part of a covert campaign by Israel and the West to sabotage its nuclear program, which the U.S. and its allies suspect is aimed at producing nuclear weapons. Iran denies that.
Iran's intelligence chief, Heidar Moslehi, had promised recently to provide detailed TV pictures about the case.
Iran has blamed Israel's Mossad as well as the CIA and Britain's MI6 for the assassinations, with support from some of Iran's neighbors. The U.S. and Britain and denied involvement in the slayings. Israel has not commented.
The TV said closed circuit cameras in a Tehran street recorded one of the operations, providing clues for Iran's intelligence agencies to identify and arrest the suspects.
One of the suspects, Behzad Abdoli, claimed that he received training in Israel, along with several others.
"I entered Turkey and then was taken to Cyprus by ship. From there, I entered Israel and (then) Tel Aviv ... They (Israelis) said that this group is being supported financially by the U.S. and Israel," he said.
Another suspect, Arash Kheradkish, said he received training in attaching magnetic bombs to moving cars.
"There was a motorcycle racing complex (in Tel Aviv) where we received training. We were told we needed to improve our skills so that we would be able to attach magnetized bombs to moving cars ... We were given time bombs that we had to push the start button when we attached it," he said. "At the end of the training course, members (of the group) were given money. They arranged our return (to Iran)."
The broadcast said Jamali Fashi and Arash Kheradkish got the highest grades during training in Tel Aviv and were chosen to lead the operations.
Maziar Ebrahimi, another suspect, said there were three groups involved in the bombings: Two on a motorbike, a car driving in front to slow the target car and a third support team waiting nearby to help if necessary.
"The assassination control room was in Tel Aviv, but it was receiving the orders from Washington and London," the TV report said.
The TV report did not say if the 14 suspects have already stood trial or when they would be tried.
In May, Iran hanged Majid Jamali Fashi, 24, who was sentenced to death for the 2010 killing of Tehran University physics professor Masoud Ali Mohammadi. Fashi, who said in televised confessions that he was recruited by Mossad, was convicted last August.
At least five Iranian nuclear scientists, including a manager at the Natanz enrichment facility, have been killed since 2010.
Officials say that campaign includes the abduction of Iranian scientists, the sale of faulty equipment and the planting of a destructive computer worm known as Stuxnet, which briefly brought Iran's uranium enrichment activity to a halt in 2010.
The broadcast said Iran reserves the right to pursue the case through legal channels at international bodies.

If they are broadcasting this hogwash, (i.e. "...The assassination control room was in Tel Aviv, but it was receiving the orders from Washington and London," ) Then it's the same as if they just announced to the world that everything they state is likely a fabrication.
Which means a) There WAS a Holocaust (sarcasm intended) and b) They ARE developing their nuclear capability for military use.
Iran lost every last ounce of believability they still might have had.
We should be grateful that they exposed themselves thus.

Three men are being sought by Minneapolis police after breaking into a home, demanding money, then raping a mother and her 14-year-old daughter.
Roynell Taylor, Reggie Bishop, and Deondre Bishop broke into the woman's home and demanded to know where she kept her money; claiming it would all be over if she'd just tell them.
When she didn't, they tied the two up and put pillow cases over their heads.
They then raped the 14-year-old girl before doing the same to her mother.
After a presumably long 20 minutes, the trio left. The distraught victims contacted authorities.
The home had been left in shambles and several valuables were missing.
The police have not been able to find any of the men as of yet.

Bring the Boys Back Home 1:46
(written by Roger Waters)
Bring the boys back home (2x)
Don't leave the children on their own, own, own
Bring the boys back home
Don't leave the children on their own, no, no
Teacher: Wrong! Do it again! (echoed)
Rock and Roll Manager: Time to go! (echoed)
Operator: It's a man answering, but he keeps hanging up. (echoed)
American Groupie: Are you feelin' okay? (echoed)
Is there anybody out there?
This song was newly recorded for the film, featuring the Pontardoulais Male Voice Choir, which Roger traveled to Wales to record, as well as additional brass and orchestral instrumentation. This is a somewhat longer and fuller version than the album cut, with an additional repetition of the lyrics. It was released as the B-side of the When the Tigers Broke Free single [see separate entry]. The soldiers and their families on the platform, upon hearing the regimental drums, break into heartfelt song, expressing their desire for peace and happy reunion of loved ones.
Interestingly enough, this film was released with impeccable timing: in a coincidence that could not possibly have been anticipated, Pink Floyd The Wall premiered at the Empire Theatre exactly 30 days after the end of the War in the Falklands. Suddenly, its statements on war, especially a song like this one, gained a new relevance and currency in the light of the bloody and pointless conflict which writer J. L. Borges ridiculed as "two bald men fighting over a comb."

Blue Letter Bible offers several daily devotional readings in order to help you refocus on Christ and the Gospel of His peace and righteousness.
Recognizing the value of consistent reflection upon the Word of God in order to refocus one's mind and heart upon Christ and His Gospel of peace, we provide several reading plans designed to cover the entire Bible in a year.
sekt (hairesis): "Sect" (Latin, secta, from sequi, "to follow") is in the New Testament the translation of hairesis, from haireo, "to take," "to choose"; also translated "heresy," not heresy in the later ecclesiastical sense, but a school or party, a sect, without any bad meaning attached to it. The word is applied to schools of philosophy; to the Pharisees and Sadducees among the Jews who adhered to a common religious faith and worship; and to the Christians. It is translated "sect" (Ac 5:17, of the Sadducees; Ac 15:5, of the Pharisees; Ac 24:5, of the Nazarenes; Ac 26:5, of the Pharisees; Ac 28:22, of the Christians); also the Revised Version (British and American) Ac 24:14 (the King James Version and the English Revised Version margin "heresy"), "After the Way which they call a sect, so serve I the God of our fathers" (just as the Pharisees were "a sect"); it is translated "heresies" (1Co 11:19, margin "sects," the American Standard Revised Version "factions," margin "Greek: heresies' "; the English Revised Version reverses the American Standard Revised Version text and margin; Ga 5:20, the American Standard Revised Version "parties," margin "heresies"; the English Revised Version reverses text and margin; 2Pe 2:1, "damnable heresies," the Revised Version (British and American) "destructive heresies," margin "sects of perdition"); the "sect" in itself might be harmless; it was the teaching or principles which should be followed by those sects that would make them "destructive." Hairesis occurs in 1 Macc 8:30 ("They shall do it at their pleasure," i.e. "choice"); compare Septuagint Le 22:18,21.

In less than 36 hours the race for the Presidency of the United States should be over. I say 'should' just in case we see a repeat of 'hanging chads' and faulty voting machines like we did during the Bush vs. Gore race.
Election campaigns provide something of a pause for reflection on the state of nation. We evaluate the state of the economy, the responsiveness of the current administration to the needs of the citizens and we make choices based on past performance and future vision. In the case of America, there's been no shortage of finger pointing as to who is to blame for high unemployment, a sputtering economy, rising debt and a general decline in the nation. To date, neither contender for the Presidency has been willing to say, 'that was our fault or 'my fault' or even 'I was wrong about that...'. It would be refreshing, inspiring and perhaps even enough to ensure election, but don't hold your breath waiting for it to happen.
There's a familiar passage in 2 Chr. 7:14 that challenges me. The verse is God's response to Solomon's prayer in 2 Chr. 6 where Solomon humbly asks God to respond to the prayers of His people when the nation experiences hardship, adversity and judgement for its willful disobedience. God's response to Solomon's request is 'I have heard your prayers and when difficulty comes upon the nation, if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin and heal their land.' (NIV)
The conversation between God and Solomon fascinates me because it suggests that there is a connection between what happens to a nation and what the real remedy might be. Could it be that more than a stimulus or recovery plan, what the nation really needs is for the church to take it's place as priest and intercessor on behalf of the nation and begin to repent for our own sins and for those of the country?
Nations lose their moral compass and forsake their moral foundations when the church abdicates its role as priest and intercessor on behalf of the nation. I understand that we don't live in a theocracy and this is not a call for the church to 'take over' or dictate it's values to the rest of society. It is a call to humbly and intentionally recognize that we have a responsibility to those who govern over us and to those who live around us, to pray for God's blessing upon them.
Some will be hostile to our faith, others will be dismissive of our prayers. That does not negate their effectiveness. Paul wrote to the early church to pray for those who ruled over them so that they would live peaceable lives. It's worthwhile noting that the ruler of the day was Nero who was dipping Christians in tar and using them as torches to light Rome at night.
More than an endorsement from a church leader or an unspoken political relationship with a particular ideology, political leaders need a promise from us that we will take our place and intentionally and purposefully pray for them!

Haven't blogged for a while. Main reason being I've had such a lot to deal with over the last few weeks I've not been in a position to 'share' much of what's been going on as lots of it has been of a 'sensitive' nature. Suffice to say I have had to be a fairly strong cookie and have risen to the challenge! Go me, pat on the back blah blah blah.
Today, has been fairly unbelievable. Without going in to detail I have had some dealings with a school where a member of staff has lied to me about my child. Full on, bare faced, lied lied lied! I have evidence that is over and above proof that this woman has lied to me and the school are still going with what she has told them! I'm gobsmacked. Not a good look for me!
I have clearly been niave in my approach so far. I've thought that institutions such as schools which lets face it have a huge duty of care to our children would be the first to realise and apologise for a mistake being made on their part! Not so, they actually have presented me with a situation which means I will have to take this way over their heads!
I can be a fairly judgemental person I think....bordering on the whole 'no smoke without fire' thesis. I take it all back one can definately not judge a book by it's cover. Schools are failing, parents are failing and it's not rocket science as to why. My advice????? Always have faith in your child because no other fucker will. Listen to your child and Always always put them first,,,that is the only rule to parenting that works.
Any way I'm looking into emigrating to alaska....see you when the fog clears!!

挪西亞修道院啤酒|Birra Nursia
「挪西亞修道院啤酒|Birra Nursia」,由修道院「本篤會修道會|Benedictine Monastery of St. Benedict」所釀造。「挪西亞|Nursia」,就是現今的意大利中部的「諾爾恰|Norcia」,是西元480年時,古羅馬時期的聖人-「聖本篤|St. Benedict」的出生地,由他所建立的本篤會規範(Rule),對基督教教義發展極具影響力,也因此,本篤會常被稱為西方修道院體系的創始人,自10世紀始,修士們就在此守護奉獻著聖本篤出生地的修道院。
直到西元1810年,受到拿破崙的壓迫,教堂被迫轉移給其他教區,修道院也因此關閉,販售予私人家族。到了1998年,「聖本篤修會|OSB」的神父『Fr. Cassian』落腳羅馬,開始尋找並組織臨時的基地,以建立修道院的,在西元2000年,兩股似乎不可能的力量相遇了,渴求修道院回歸的「挪西亞」迎回了暌違200年,聖本篤的修士們-回到聖本篤的出生地。
Blonde (6% ABV, Style: Belgian Blond Ale) IBU: 25
Birra Nursia Bionda is a golden, luminous beer with a creamy, compact and persistent head. Its fresh aroma is enhanced by hints of coriander and lemon zest. With time, it matures to become an ethereal floral perfume. The palate is enlivened by the hop and malt notes. The cheerful carbonation and the gentle, dry finish nicely round off the body of this beer.
Recommended serving temperature: 7-9 degrees.
Food pairings: Starters and first courses with cheese and vegetables; spinach and ricotta tart (pasticcio ricotta e spinaci); artichoke tortellini atop taleggio fondue; oven-cooked white meats. Pizzas: Four seasons (quattro stagioni), white pizza with artichokes and cured ham (bianca con crema di carciofi e porchetta); white pizza with cooked ham, asiago cheese and asparagus (bianca con prosciutto cotto, asiago e asparagi).
Extra (10% ABV, Style: Belgian Dark Strong Ale) IBU: 14
Birra Nursia Extra has a beguiling dark brown hue with luminous
ruby reflections and a creamy, frothy head. Its aroma is characterized by notes of fresh yeast, dark berries and stone fruits, embellished with a touch of cocoa. It is a well-structured beer dominated by malty flavours with hints of caramel and liqueur, rounded off by a warm, dry and peppery finish.
Recommended serving temperature: 9-11 degrees.
Food pairings: Hard cheese selections; first courses with sauces such as bolognaise, sausage, speck and game; meat with red fruit jelly or dried fruit pies. Pizzas: white pizza with sausage , mushrooms and truffle cream (bianca con salsiccia, funghi e crema di tartufo); four seasons pizza with walnuts (quattro formagi e noci).
Birra Nursia is brewed by the monks of the Benedictine Monastery of St. Benedict in Norcia, Italy (Monastero di San Benedetto di Norcia). Saint Benedict is a Catholic saint who was born in the ancient pre-Roman town of Norcia in the year 480. His "Rule" became one of the most influential religious rules in Western Christendom. For this reason, Benedict is often called the founder of western monasticism. Monks have cared for the Basilica built over his birthplace since the 10th century.
In 1810, the Celestine Congregation of the Benedictine order was suppressed under Napoleon. The monastery was closed, the Basilica passed into the hands of the diocese, and the monastic buildings were sold off to private families. A fledgling community founded in 1998, in Rome, by Fr. Cassian Folsom, OSB, sought a monastery. The town of Norcia – absent of monks for nearly 200 years -longed for their return. In 2000, these two seemingly impossible forces met and God's providence brought the return of Benedictine life to the birthplace of St. Benedict.
Since ancient times, Monks have understood that to share their worldview and faith with the outside world, and indeed, avoid being isolated from it, they must use temporal means. In harmony with this philosophy, and taking inspiration from Belgian tradition, the Monastery of St. Benedict in Nursia decided to construct a brewery, to the purpose of sharing the joy of labouring with one's own hands together with the outside world: a joy which 'gladdens the heart' (ut laetificet cor), as the maxim of Birra Nursia declaims.
The brewery was officially inaugurated on August 15th, 2012 and in March of 2013, Birra Nursia was served to the Cardinals at the Papal conclave.The small brewery is located within the thousand-year old walls of the monastery, and every phase of the brewing process is followed by a tight-knit team of monks under the guidance of Father Francesco, Master Brewer, guaranteeing a beer both pleasing in taste and capable of satisfying the spirit. All the monks contribute to the work in the brewhouse. From receiving ingredients and raw materials, to assisting in the brewhouse and helping with bottling, to taste evaluations of the final product and sales, Birra Nursia is purely a monastic creation.
All revenue the monastery generates is used to support the work of prayer and evangelical witness at the 1500-year-old monastery in Norcia. Naturally, this includes offering warm hospitality to pilgrims and the poor, who are assured of being welcomed at the monks' door.
Every purchase of beer helps ensure that the centuries-old Latin chants will be sung daily in those ancient buildings, ever in need of repair, and that future monks and pilgrims will have a place to call home.

I'm sitting in the business center(the lobby actually) of the Polonia Palace Hotel in Warsaw, directly opposite a hugh Stalin-era monument that is now oh so appropriately two beautiful theatrical spaces, a multiplex movie theater and a cafe. And across the street from the former Stalin edifice are two(count'em two) shopping centers. What better statement about the overthrow of Communism? And the street we're staying on is called Jerozolimskie, or Jerusalem. Who says irony is dead?
And they must have planned today's parlimentary elections in Poland, just for the American political comedian who just arrived. Although all the returns haven't been tabulated(apparently there were some hanging chads in Lodz), the opposition party seems to have won, thanks to a disastrous performance by the present Prime Minister in a debate. It's nice to know that in Poland,unlike the US, voters actually pay attention to debates.
Here in Poland, the outgoing Prime Minister and President are twins. As incompetent as they turned out to be, at least for a brief time they actually ruled a country. The best American twins seem to do is go into rehab after being child stars.
Warsaw was 80% destroyed during WWII, and during a wonderful walk Ruth and I took today, it has been miraculously restored, especially in the Old Town which Eisenhower said was the most devasated area he'd ever seen when he toured it in 1945.
The buildings were rebuilt to the original pre-WW II designs, and they look like they have been around for hundreds of years in its timeless beauty, instead of the 55 or 60 years since it was rebuilt. Thank God, there is no Donald Trump or Bruce Ratner in Poland, or else they would have replaced the historic buildings with ugly 60 story high rises, and an arena or two.
After enjoying several delicious meals, including potato pancakes and pieroges, I called my parents in Brooklyn tonight(the reception was much clearer than when I call from my Panasonic cordless in Park Slope.) My father said, "Of course you loved the food, it's ours".
So Poland is really not foreign to me. Yes, the language is impossible to decipher(we just mastered "thank you"), but we feel very much at home. In a city where almost a million Jews were slaughtered by the Nazis, we are walking its streets, having enjoyable(despite the language barrier) conversations with the people, laughing, drinking fair trade coffee and eating good food.The emptiness of a city without the Jews who once were as integral a part of Warsaw as we are now in New York, is always with you. To forget, or never to have known about, the horror of their extermination is a sin. But we all must also take its lessons to heart. And Jews, like myself, must always treat all people with compassion and humanity. Because we know, better than most, how horrible the alternative is.
Well, as I prepare to leave the lobby, and hope that the internet charges aren't enforced, I close with a bit of hope. Twice during the last two days here, I heard Louie Armstrong's rendition of "A Wonderful World". After all that has happened here in the past, let's hope that the future of that wonderful world is a bright one here in Warsaw.

Weekly Challenge # 21
Greetings from Live-Love-Craft again everyone! We're coming to year end soon now so we still have a few Challenges for 2009:p!
This time around, Evonne and I have selected the theme Black & White as our weekly challenge. I don't have any particular inspiration that I based on when I made my card - I just carved out some flower patterns from a patterned paper I printed quite a long time ago...added some clear stamped leaves and little flowers on it, some glitter, and lastly the wording sentiment to complete it. I like the end result - simple and nice:p. As for Evonne, the card was inspired by the dog that kept on coming in to her house compound recently. It's a black & white dog and she and her housemate Vic, have named him Doggie..haha! I especially love the lace ribbon she used...can you see the dog paw printed on it? What a cute card and what a cute inspiration! Hehehe!
So, till the next Weekly Challenge, take care and God bless:p!

London: For those agonising over whether they have contracted sexually transmitted infections (STI), help is at hand -- actually, just a mobile phone away.
University of London scientists are developing a self-testing device that will instantly diagnose a host of common infections such as chlamydia.
Users need to pass urine on the device as in a pregnancy test which will then be plugged into a mobile phone or computer.
Software will analyse the sample, make a diagnosis and recommend a course of action, reports the Daily Mail.
The 5.7 million pounds project, called eSTI², electronic self-testing instruments for STIs, will use nanotechnology.
Project leader Tariq Sadiq from the University of London said that potentially eSTI2 systems could automatically make an appointment with the appropriate physician or surgeon or sexual health clinic.
"Mobile phones have changed the way we live and communicate, and our team of experts firmly believes that they open up a unique avenue for new ways to diagnose and control STIs," Sadiq said.
"Currently, if you want to know if you have an infection, your sample is usually sent to a laboratory and the results come back in a few days.
"This kind of system could also speed up the process of communicating infection trends in the population to public health doctors, allowing for quicker responses to outbreak of an STI," he said.

"Before he opens the door, he hands me back the tiramisu and then reaches up and frames my face with his hands, gently running his thumbs across the skin below both of my eyes. I think my mouth might be hanging open because I have no idea what the hell he's doing. 'Black shit,' he says, by way of explanation, and I realize that my eye makeup must be running. Then he opens the door for me without another word" (126).
We know they're going to blossom into something more than whatever they are now. At this point, a relationship doesn't seem plausible unless one of them just goes for it. Reading this the first time, I thought maybe this was going to be the scene. Even though it wasn't, it was hilarious to read. I wonder what Josh was thinking when he did this, because it was gutsy! The credit he gives her dark side, she could have bit his finger off. She's got to admit though, she liked it.

December 31st is upon us and with it comes an evening of binge drinking, bad decisions, and then the declaration of resolutions to never again make those bad decisions. Some of us will go to a bar or club. Some will attend a party at a friend's residence. Some will sit alone on their couch while they weep and drink themselves into oblivion. Still, some others will spend the evening with their families, pretending that playing Monopoly: Star Wars Edition with the younger cousins is "seriously super fun" and truthlessly declaring that "really Mom, there's no where I'd rather be than with my family on New Years." We know you're a liar, and so does Jesus. Who wouldn't want to kiss someone at midnight rather than hug their crazy Aunt Janie and then listen for thirty minutes while she tells you how she's not going to eat Little Debbies this year because they give her gas? We love you crazy Aunt Janie, but you're overweight and I don't like to think about the gaseous products of your digestive processes. I'd rather be kissing a babe. Or a girl that was "kind of cute." Or – to reference Kent's sexist article about rating women's attractiveness – maybe even a "3" if the lights were real dim and I had a few glasses of bubbly in my belly. Sound desperate? Maybe. Let's just say this recession has effected a lot of economies.

How to Cope with Being Alone on New Years Eve: A GuideDecember 29, 2008
How to Cope with Being "Just Friends": A GuideDecember 2, 2008
This guide is going to be gender specific, but not because I'm sexist. That's Kent, the other TTM founder/writer/bachelor extraordinaire. This guide is going to be gender specific because I am a dude, have always been a dude, and will always be a dude (barring some sort of horrifying punishment from God). I'm going to ASSume that this guide will be applicable to chicks too, but I'm sure that girl that put Kent in his place on that other article (Jen, you're my hero!) will be able to tell me if I'm wrong or not. Here goes.
We've all been there before. There's a girl. Let's call her Michelle. That's a hot name, but not like crazy, inaccessible hot. Michelle's not just any girl. She's smart, sweet, funny – gosh is she funny! – and caring. She's an angel. When she came into your life, it's like the sun was shining for the first time. And she's a babe too, oh yes she is. She's more beautiful than any woman you've ever seen, even in the movies or those Victoria's Secret catalogs you stole from your sister. The two of you are inseparable. You hang out all the time, laughing, falling into piles of leaves, staring up at the stars as you talk about dreams of the future, and misreading each others signals and intentions. It's just magical. You're best friends, but you know that's not all there is to it. Destiny put you two together when she sat next to you in math class/bumped into you at youth group/spilled a searing hot coffee on you at Starbucks, causing a piercing girl-scream to erupt from your mouth followed by an impressive repertoire of vulgarities. It was like something out of the movies; how could it end up as anything other than life-long love and the production of numerous fat, happy babies? You're just biding your time until she looks longingly into your eyes and whispers "I want to know what love is. I want you to show me." Oh man, how sweet that will be when it inevitably happens! But until then, how do you bide your time? (more…)
How to Cope with Being Obnoxiously in Love: A GuideNovember 18, 2008
Isn't love amazing? It really is. Nothing else like it. Not even drugs. It's a rare and beautiful thing when you finally meet that special someone. Who knows where cupid struck you both with his arrow? Maybe you had a class together. Maybe you met through a friend. Maybe you met on Myspace. Whatever the medium upon which your personal Romeo and Juliet began (except without the mutual suicide!), I'm sure you've experienced just how hard it is to keep that fireball of romance to yourself. Luckily for you, we here at The Talking Mirror are in the self-help business and have come up with a guide just for you and your boo bear.*
Step One: Always Maintain Physical Contact
No matter what happens, never forget this step. Your love will explode into a dust of broken promises and insecurities you never knew you could have. Wherever you are, whatever you're doing, whoever you're with; none of it matters. The rule always applies. You must always be touching each other. It doesn't have to be normal or even practical. It just has to be. Common examples:
The "arm around the waist even while walking, running, swimming, or sitting." This is a pretty common choice amongst the love-stricken. Keep your arm around your lover's waist no matter how inconvenient it may get, even as you try to run up the escalator or go through airport security. If you don't, they will disappear instantly. Guaranteed. (more…)
How to Cope with Public Flatulence: A GuideNovember 11, 2008
I was going to write a guide for coping with being hot, but I just couldn't make it funny. So I went ahead with Plan B, which is always fart jokes. We here at The Talking Mirror try to shy away from potty humor. It's too easy and immature, and everyone knows the only humor we write is highly intellectual and of the utmost maturity. We look at jokes like that and we say, "that's just too small." (That's what she said! But, I mean, to you… Not to me. Booyah! – Kent) However, the other day someone requested that I write a guide to coping with public flatulence and I felt the deep, sincere need not to leave this person out in the darkness to wallow in the stinky humiliation of their public gasiness. Everyone has been there in some way, shape, or form. You're in public or just around a group of people and… Uh oh, you just ripped loud, boisterous ass. If it hasn't happened to you, it very well may happen to you in the future. I'm here to walk you through that process, not as a veteran – I'm not some kind of Loser McFartypants! – but as a wise sage that understands the weight of this hypothetical challenge.
Here's the situation. You're sitting in a restaurant, surrounded by friends, strangers, and multiple potential mates. You're looking good, feeling good, acting good – you are good. Rocking and rolling, the cards are falling your way. But then, suddenly and without warning, you release an audible digestive fiesta. Everyone stops. What do you do? (more…)
How to Cope with Being a Douche Bag- A Response to "How to Cope with Being a Crazy Girlfriend"November 3, 2008
This little piece of bitter vitriol was provided by Gretchen Hoffman. In addition to providing some man-bashing that the ladies out there can resonate with, she also keeps our site "genderly balanced" by editing many of our articles in order to satisfy the terms of Kent's sexual harassment suit. Thanks Gretchen.
All girls have a touch of crazy. Absolutely. No girl who is honest with herself will ever deny that. As for males… I might argue that their adverse characteristic is a touch of douche bag. Maybe you have taken this to a new, more awesome level. Maybe you sometimes wonder about the black murkiness of your soul, but who honestly has time to ask WWJD? You are what you are, so here is a coping guide for your special brand of douche-baggery.
Step 1- Shower her with attention so it hurts more when you pull it back a few weeks later
This is the sort of man-fatalle routine. Maybe it took a while to get her to go out with you, but now she does so she's obviously into you. Take advantage. Tell her she's the best girl you've ever met and you are overwhelmed with how cool she is. Compliment her from headband to high heels. Make sure she knows that you've never felt like this before. Then, slowly stop the steady flow of compliments. Honestly, who can keep up with that? Call with less frequency, and those text messages you've been sending telling her you hope she has a good day? Unnecessary. You've already got her, right? Even if she seems hurt, don't say anything- you don't want to have that conversation. Yikes. If she brings it up, turn the tables and say tell her she's too demanding and you just can't handle that kind of pressure. (more…)

This was announced by Odesa governor Mikheil Saakashvili in his interview to Censor.NET.
"Amendments to legal framework shall be done immediately," he said. "We have to implement the system of customs processing by the example of the European model implemented in Georgia as soon as possible. This is, to simplify all customs procedures, to introduce electronic document workflow, to fight corruption at the customs by changing the top management and holding contests for positions."
The governor stressed that human resources management at the customs was a keystone for sector reforming.
"We will do all we can in order to earn confidence of the society. It will be difficult at first, but the result will come if many good people join together to build a new Ukraine, to make this country prosperous and modern for their children. Certainly, we want to change HR management radically," Saakashvili said.
The governor said the State Fiscal Service head Roman Nasirov told him that contest for positions with the SFS in the Odesa region would be held according to modern standards, with participation of the community, and under State Administration control. The process has been launched, Saakashvili said.
All governor's steps of the experiment implementation of the reforms in the Odesa region have been agreed upon with the president and the prime minister.
"We don't have time for warming up. I really expect that all branches of power support us. We need to implement the customs office experiments within two months," Saakashvili said. He added that Prime Minister Yatseniuk promised to allocate 50% of all excess proceeds from the Odesa regional customs for road construction in the Odesa region," the governor concluded.

Massive thank you to Kevin Higgins for this fantastic review and to Kernan Andrews and team at the Galway Advertiser, where it was published on Thursday, Jun 23, 2016
'IT IS fashionable for reviewers, of the perpetually disappointed variety, to lodge Basil Fawlty style complaints against a poet's first published collection.
The poet in question, we are typically told, has the occasional nice turn of phrase, but does not have anything to write about because s/he has little of experience of life, a subject on which the disappointed reviewer is unfortunately something of an expert.
There are over indulged newbie poets who, as of yet, amount to not much more than a stunning haircut and professionally taken publicity photo. Generally, though, such complaints tend to be grapes of the vinegary variety. It will be interesting to see what reaction Michael J Whelan's debut book of poems, Peacekeeper, published by Doire Press, gets from said literary gatekeepers.
Whelan may be a new poet but, having joined the Irish Defence Forces in 1990 and served as a peacekeeper in Lebanon and Kosovo, he is not exactly young. He has had life experiences from which most poetry reviewers would run screaming. Crucially these experiences are the often bloody meat of this quite exceptional debut. Whelan is no dabbler, but a war poet in the tradition of Wilfred Owen, Robert Graves, Siegfried Sassoon, and Keith Douglas.
The poems here are products of direct experience – part one covering his time in South Lebanon, part two his stint with the Peace-Enforcement mission in Kosovo. There are some breathtaking lines, as in 'The Rain Has Come': "The rain has come/to wash away the footprints of the killers." The poem finishes with the image of "a rusting bullet casing/exposed like a white bone on the deepening red mud."
The blood which has reddened the mud is, as is hardly ever the case in poems these days, more real than metaphorical. From the first poem 'Blue Helmets', Whelan approaches his subject in the unromantic way soldier poets nearly always do: "We were issued our blue helmets/and flak-jackets there, mine were/in really bad shape, like they had been/through the wars."
His tribute to his fellow Irish soldiers who died on service in Lebanon – "where the cedar grows forever/and remembers everything" – is a poem of stunning beauty. A number of his poems bring home the way that, even when the war is over, and the papers of record around the world trumpet the advent of peace, it is often not really over at all. One poem opens: "The war is long over but it is not ended." Another, 'Inshalla', tells us "The war is over in the South, again."
Whelan is a poet of experience rather than innocence. Many have experiences. Very few have the talent he does for finding exactly the words to force the reader to imagine him/herself struggling across those bloodstained landscapes in Whelan's own war-weary boots.'
Michael Whelan will read at the Over The Edge Writers' Gathering at The Kitchen, Galway City Museum, on Thursday June 30 at 8pm. The other readers are Niamh Boyce, Paul Duffy, Susan Millar DuMars, and William Wall. Admission is free.

Vivienne and Knox Jolie-Pitt -- Brad and Angelina's Twins?
Here's another unconfirmed report!
This time, the Nice-Matin newspaper quoted Angelina Jolie's gynaecologist, saying that the actress has given birth to healthy twins, a girl and a boy, via caesarian section in a French Riviera maternity clinic.
The twins, Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline, were born shortly before 8:00 pm (1800 GMT) on Saturday, the paper said quoting gynaecologist Michel Sussmann.
One of these publications has got to get it right someday, right?
If the news is true, the hospital said the news will appear soon on its website at Lenval.org.

The Basic Principles of the Outlawz Tupac That You Can Benefit From Starting Right Away
Tupac wasn't prepared to forgive. We can only imagine what Tupac's following phase might have been. Tupac asked concerned buddies. 2Pac had planned he would do many more volumes with distinctive groups each moment. In addition, it features 2PAC so that's another reason this song is simply fantastic. Despite the fact that 2Pac won't be featured on the undertaking, Hutton insists other major name performers will contribute songs along with acts which were closely connected with the late Hip Hop legend.
Who didn't purchase the soundtrack. This album is a choice illustration of what I am speaking about. It proves that they don't need 2Pac, you just need to keep the faith in these guys. It's going to be a big tribute album. The very first song is her way to inform her own story in her very own special way.
The Tried and True Method for the Outlawz Tupac in Step by Step Detail
Outlawz are an incredible group. Surely the Outlawz have fans, but it isn't sufficient to pay the debts and bills they've incurred. Kastro in the song talks about how the world is, things which are happening these days, which are very accurate.
Key Pieces of the Outlawz Tupac

Look Who was at Bitsy Grant Today
April 21, 2016

Freddy Goldenberg sent us this great picture of John Isner on a platform tennis court at the Bitsy Grant Tennis Center in Atlanta. She included these thoughts: "Look who was checking out the paddle courts at Bitsy Grant today! Would love to try to return one of his paddle serves, or better yet, try to get a lob over his head!"

library loan, originally uploaded by veggy.
One of my favorite places in the library. Thousands of books.. and you can take them out for free! I have hundreds of books in storage and at home that I LOVE and can't seem to let go of even though i haven't touched them in a decade or less. I am trying to let go of 'things & stuff' that anchor me in one place. The library facilitates my need to read, and learn without the baggage. There really should be a Love your Library Day.

I guess it's really hard for me today because it's been 10 days. I know that God is in control of this whole thing, I know that if we are supposed to be at Immanuel's it will happen, and I know that I really feel like it's the fit we need. Having said all that I don't know so many other things any more that I just have built into myself this idea that noting is going to really happen, nothing is really going to come of this that I'll just be told thanks but no thanks. I am sure God knows what he's doing and if thats the answer then that's the answer. Sure I'll be bummed about it, and yes I'll probably question if I ever really hear from God, but I really do want to keep in mind that whatever is going to be in our life is in God's hands, not that I have no responsibility, I do but you know it's times like this that really do make me wonder what it is about me that and my family that makes churches say, oh your nice, oh we loved your teaching, oh we are praying that God will lead you to the ministry that is perfect for you… why isn't yours? Thats the question that I have, at what point does a church realize that they could benefit from hiring me?
I guess i'm trying to be in that place where I can say my heart will truly say Lord Blessed be your name, the problem is it's hard to say blessed be the name of the Lord when I want to see more tangible blessings.
Well we will continue to wait and pray and hope.

On Thursday, February 26, 2015 the European Court of Justice (ECJ) in Luxembourg has published a decision of principle that will deprive France from levying social charges on real estate income (rental or capital gains) of persons who are members of foreign social security schemes.
This decision could give rise to a wave of reimbursement requests coming from thousands of non-resident taxpayers and who have unduly paid the French social charges.
The ECJ applies its solution for employment income to income from assets
In 2000, the ECJ had already decided that levying CSG and CRDS on employment income and substitute income of workers living in France but subject to the social security legislation of another member state was «incompatible not only with the interdiction of accumulation of applicable social security legislations, granted by article 13, section 1 of Council Regulation No. 1408/1971, but also with the rights of free movement and freedom of establishment laid down in the Treaty».
France has respected this decision. A question remained however regarding social charges on income from assets. The Luxembourg Court has now answered this question in favour of the taxpayer.
The decision is based on the case of a Dutch citizen, Mr de Ruyter, member of the Dutch social security scheme. It will satisfy the non-residents currently member of the social security scheme of their employment country. Mr de Ruyter had challenged before the French administrative court the fact that France levied different social charges (CSG/ CRDS and others) on his income from assets.
The legal grounds of the decision
The French Conseil d'Etat filed a request for a preliminary ruling with the ECJ. In its ruling the ECJ stated that by virtue of the principle that the legislation of a single Member State applies in matters of social security, it is not allowed to levy social charges from a person in a country other than the country to whose social security scheme the persons belongs.
According to the ECJ the purpose is to «avoid the complications which may ensue from the simultaneous application of a number of national legislative systems» and to «eliminate the unequal treatment which (…) would be the consequence of a partial or total overlapping of the applicable legislation»
In application of these principles to the present case and after having stated that Mr de Ruyter is subject to the subject to the social security scheme the Netherlands, the Court rules that Mr de Ruyter cannot be made subject by France "to legal provisions imposing levies which have a direct and sufficiently relevant link with the legislation governing the branches of social security listed in Article 4 of Council Regulation No 1408/71."
It is effectively difficult to accept that those who are not subject to the French social security scheme should by their income finance via CSG and CRDS and other social charges the different compulsory French social security schemes and their deficits.
Persons concerned by the decision
The ECJ's decision applies to any person residing in another EU Member State than France (or in Switzerland) being subject to the social security scheme of such country but owing real estate in France, for income earned from such real estate (rental income or capital gains in case of a sale). The European Commission has launched an infringement proceeding against France because of the extension of CSG and CRDS to real estate income earned by non-residents (proceeding No. 2013/4168 for rental inscome and 2014/4140 for real estate capital gains).
How to obtain reimbursement of social security charges?
The taxpayer should preferably contact a legal counsel in order to prepare a complete file before making the reimbursement request to the French Tax authorities. According to article L 190 of the Act on tax proceedings, any claim «for the reimbursement of unduly paid taxes, based on the non-conformity of the rule applied in relation to higher ranked law, established by a court decision (…) will be prescribed two years after the receipt of the tax notice or the collection of the tax, depending on the case, or otherwise after the payment of the relevant tax. In other words, for income received in 2012, subject to a tax notice in 2013, the taxpayer has to act within two years of the receipt of such notice. For real-estate capital gains the 2-year period starts to run with the payment of the tax.

Micah and I got the most thoughtful package from my dad this weekend - a set of four handcrafted seed trays, with this note:
"Liz and Micah - These are some seed starting trays for your next 'crop.' They are made from decay-resistant 'Brimley cedar,' so you don't need any liners. Enjoy! - Dad/Kevin"
The cedar smells so good, especially after sitting in the sun for a few hours. Like the sauna in the big cabin. Now I know why people line closets with this stuff.
I decided to start dwarf impatiens seeds in them - a flower I always associate with my mom, and summer. Plus, with all the Englewood Gardens craziness happening over the last few weeks, I've completely neglected to think about flowers for the front porch. (Plus plus, I just found out that the impatiens' nickname is "Busy Lizzy." That can't be a coincidence.)
I love that he flattened and inverted a gin carton to create a perfectly-sized, mail-system-appropriate box. That's some design-thinking right there. And now I'm thinking about gin-and-tonics. At 8:30am.
Thanks, Dad!

Facials Help Maintain Skin Health
A professional facial is an opportunity to work with a skin care specialist who will analyze your skin, hear your concerns and show you how to properly care for your skin based on your personal needs and skin condition. Getting a professional facial is very important to the health of your skin.
The benefits include:
- Stimulates blood flow
- Softens skin
- Removes dead skin
- Gives the skin a rejuvenated glow
- Encourages new skin growth
- Restores skin complexion
- Can help treat acne
- Can relieve stress
- Hydrates the skin
- Cleanses the skin of toxins
- Cures dry skin
- Maintains healthy skin look
Some facial treatments offer a deep-cleanse of the skin, while others provide moisture to skin cells. Some facials can specifically treat acne.
The Benefits Of Facials
Cleansing: Facials will deep cleanse your skin. Removing toxins from pollution and our diet is essential for healthy skin. Facials can reduce an overabundance of sebum, which is a natural substance that moisturizes and lubricates our skin. Overproduction of sebum causes skin problems, including blackheads and acne.
Cleansing facials open the pores of the skin, remove dead skin and toxins from the face, and clean the surface of the skin through exfoliation that tightens and firms the skin. Steam treatments raise the temperature of the skin and soften the hardened oil in the pore, making it easier for extraction and deep cleansing.
Exfoliation: Exfoliation stimulates regeneration of skin cells, while removing dead, dry skin. Exfoliation also can break down stubborn marks on the skin. Exfoliation also allows the active ingredients in skin care products to absorb deeper within the skin for maximum benefit.
Increased Circulation: A facial massage helps increase microcirculation to bring new nutrients to skin cells. This gives your skin a healthy glow and pumps skin cells full of with vital nutrients and water, which reduces the appearance of wrinkled and dry skin. Nutrition, circulation and hydration are essential for youthful, healthy skin. A facial can help smooth fine lines, while promoting collagen production, which is essential to anti-aging and healthy skin.
Facials are incredibly relaxing and stress reducing and should be performed every 4-6 weeks. Facial treatments can help slow the aging process of our skin, while contributing to our overall health.
Facials are not the only solution to better skin. While highly beneficial, facials can't overcome a poor diet and a lack of exercise. Healthy skin is just part of our overall health.
To find out more about the importance of facials and natural skin care products, please contact Skin Care Plus. We use and recommend the best natural and organic skin care products available. We also offer other skin care treatments that can help with anti-aging and overall skin health, including the best facial in the greater Chicago area, including Batavia, Geneva, and St. Charles.

Bleisure Travel 2017: How Business Travelers Are Using The Latest Travel Trend
One of my go-to airplane small-talk questions—"How was your trip"—has recently made me feel a serious amount of travel FOMO. Over the past year or so, I've heard more exciting stories of leisure, adventure, and relaxation while on the road than ever.
One recent seat partner was coming home from four days in my home of New York City—two of which were spent wandering Central Park and seeing Andrew Lloyd Webber classics on Broadway. Another acquaintance mentioned that they had devoted half of their recent stay in Salt Lake City to summiting Mount Olympus. Mixing business with pleasure was practically unthinkable in the early days of my career. Today, it's almost expected.
Bleisure is booming. The hotel industry is taking note of this change and is providing more activities and tours for visiting employees looking for a story to take home. Luth Research discovered that today, leisure days tend to outnumber business days on the average business trip—and in a time when more and more of us are traveling for work, that realization is staggering.
Bleisure Is Changing In 2017
Even in the time I have been making the frequent flyer circuit, business travel has become less of a nuisance and more of a lifestyle—especially for young employees just starting their careers. More people are traveling for business than ever before, and we're bridging on a majority of those travelers engaging in bleisure trips along the way.
According to a recent survey of Booking.com members, "49% of business travelers already extend their business trips to further enjoy the destination." And a recent survey of Founder's Card members showed that 81% of entrepreneurs participate in bleisure trips.
Part of this career travel lifestyle includes bringing family members, significant others, and friends along for the ride. This trend may involve more planning as far as tickets and hotel reservations are concerned, which is why it helps to have a travel agent or a personal reservationist on call to handle the extra details for you and your employees.
Some companies are even paying for their employees to take bleisure days. Bleisure perks (including additional airfare, meals, and nights after the business trip concludes) are becoming a more standard part of travel position negotiations.
It's amazing to me that the economics of this works for companies—but you may have the option of trading these bleisure perks for other kinds of compensation while still impressing new employees. In fact, the same Booking.com survey found that "30% of travelers would even accept a lower paid job if it meant they could travel more for work." This is a massive change that I wouldn't have expected twenty years ago.
How To Make The Most Of Your Next Bleisure Trip
Now that execs are allowing more time for fun on the road, we're discovering some potential drawbacks to this awesome travel strategy. This kind of trip calls for more self-control, but also means you need to be able to relax when appropriate. Workaholics (self included) may struggle with this entire concept. Here are some "dos and don'ts" that will help make your bleisure experience a good one.
- DO schedule two extra days.
According to the Bleisure Report, most business travelers on a bleisure trip tack on two extra days in order to have fun and explore their new surroundings. This is plenty of time to stop by the Louvre, experience local sushi, or do some shopping. Plus, it'll give your body even more time to adjust to a new sleep schedule.
- DON'T save your work for last.
I know it's tough, but do your best to schedule your working hours at the beginning of a bleisure trip. Can you imagine playing it up in Vegas all weekend, only to have to present at an all-important client meeting on Monday? The immediate shift to stress can create a "major vacation buzzkill" that you'll definitely want to avoid. Plus, the vacation days afterward can serve as a valuable reward to yourself for a traveling job well done.
- DO bring someone along.
When you travel two weeks out of every month, it's easy to lose track of the relationships that mean the most to you. A particularly fun way to bring back the spark is to invite your significant other or family member on a bleisure trip with you! This is a great way to make memories together while involving your loved ones in your everyday life.
- DON'T wing it.
Start a bleisure trip with a plan for how you might like to spend your time. Peruse local guidebooks or ask friends what activities they recommend in the location. Make a list of ideas you'd like to try—and don't limit yourself to just touristy things, either! Include options that are off the beaten path (like a local wine tasting) so you'll have even better stories to tell when you return home.
- DO take bleisure trips more often.
While it's nearly impossible for CEOs or other execs to completely unplug and take a vacation more than once a year (if that), adding a couple of days here and there can work wonders in terms of preventing burnout. I probably schedule anywhere between four and seven bleisure trips per year, and I always look forward to these excursions the most.
Make A Plan For Bleisure
Now, I make a point of including a bleisure trip anytime I'm starting to feel down on the traveling life. It's easy to get tired, run-down, and jet lagged from constant corporate travel—but adding a little wiggle room for fun can really help keep your mind and body in a positive state.
Plus, it's much easier to schedule more complicated business trips when you have the help of a team of professionals. My membership with JetLux Hotels not only gives me discounted stays; I also get the peace of mind knowing I can relax in a new city with all the details already taken care of. Let your JetLux reservationist book the stay for you, and you'll be all set to enjoy a trip evenly balanced between business and pleasure. Interested in learning more? Reach out to us today to make bleisure travel a staple in your yearly corporate schedule.

Please note that Mommsen uses the AUC chronology (Ab Urbe Condita), i.e. from the founding of the City of Rome. You can use this reference table to have the B.C. dates
From: The History of Rome, by Theodor Mommsen
Translated with the sanction of the author by William Purdie Dickson
Page 84
Italy and the Italians
Lastly, with this military administrative union of the whole peoples dwelling to the south of the Apennines, as far as the Iapygian promontory and the straits of Rhegium, was connected the rise of a new name common to them all--that of "the men of the toga" (-togati-), which was their oldest designation in Roman state law, or that of the "Italians," which was the appellation originally in use among the Greeks and thence became universally current.
The various nations inhabiting those lands were probably first led to feel and own their unity, partly through their common contrast to the Greeks, partly and mainly through their common resistance to the Celts; for, although an Italian community may now and then have made common cause with the Celts against Rome and employed the opportunity to recover independence, yet in the long run sound national feeling necessarily prevailed.
As the "Gallic field" down to a late period stood contrasted in law with the Italian, so the "men of the toga" were thus named in contrast to the Celtic "men of the hose" (-braccati-); and it is probable that the repelling of the Celtic invasions played an important diplomatic part as a reason or pretext for centralizing the military resources of Italy in the hands of the Romans.
Inasmuch as the Romans on the one hand took the lead in the great national struggle and on the other hand compelled the Etruscans, Latins, Sabellians, Apulians, and Greeks (within the bounds to be immediately described) alike to fight under their standards, that unity, which hitherto had been undefined and latent rather than expressed, obtained firm consolidation and recognition in state law; and the name -Italia-, which originally and even in the Greek authors of the fifth century--in Aristotle for instance--pertained only to the modern Calabria, was transferred to the whole land of these wearers of the toga.

Winter in Michigan tends to feel endless.
It's not so much the cold, the snow, or the darkness that falls early. It's the lack of sunlight. The grey.
Thinking back to this late September afternoon feels like suddenly remembering a dream. A lush garden tucked away and nestled beside an aged, ivy-covered hall; golden light and crisp air bringing relief from late summer heat evoke an almost forgotten reality. There are a million things to love about this sweet couple, but one of my favorites is Ashley's vision. (Don't even get me started on how gorgeous their June wedding is going to be. So excited!) Her inclination toward a place where nature flourished, a place with history and character instantly reminded me of this little West Michigan haven. Such beautiful things happen when you're willing to do a bit of traveling for your session, friends! And when you look back on your photographs, even more beautiful things happen: memories you didn't know you had rise to the surface ready again to be savored, perhaps in a time when you need them most. Enjoy, & be inspired! <3

A sufficient condition for the stability of conservative gyroscopic systems with negative definite stiffness is presented. The conditions for stability are stated in terms of the definiteness of certain combinations of the coefficient matrices of the equations of motion. These conditions yield design constraints in terms of the physical parameters of the system. An example is given to illustrate the correctness of the result, as well as to provide a comparison with the results of other researchers.
