As everyone knows, this time of year in Colorado Springs the weather fluctuates almost daily. We go from hot sunny weather right into a snow storm. It is one of the reasons we all love living in Southern Colorado. With the winter sun, we can get on our bikes and take a ride and with the snow, we can hit the mountains for some skiing. However, even if we enjoy the climate and its various changes, our cars often pay the price
and that price often comes by way of RUST.
Rust as many experts say, really is car body cancer. It is the natural process of metals breaking down when the car is exposed to fluctuating air. One scratch on your vehicle that gets through the paint and exposes the metal underneath is all it takes to get rust started. And once it is started, it will not stop spreading usually very slowly to the eye.
The team of experts at Perkins body shop recommends coming into the shop immediately when you first see the initial signs of rust. Then, we are able to put together a plan of action to ensure that fist small marking of rust doesnt evolve into a situation where your vehicle is badly damaged getting in front of rust can save you thousands of dollars of repairs if managed early in the process.
Typical rust repairs involve cutting away not only the rusty part but a bit of the un-rusted metal around it so there is no trace of rust and welding a patch in its place. The patch is then shaped to match the surface, primed and painted. This can be hard for the non-expert to determine to be perfectly repaired. If spots are not treated properly you can expect them to get worse until, perhaps, the car is no longer practical to keep on the road Imagine your car becoming immobile due to rust? Get it looked at quickly so this doesnt happen.
There are many websites that provide do-it-yourself tips for fixing rust. However, perhaps, before you try to tackle a situation that often requires a team of specialists with decades of experience, such as our team, why not give Perkins Paint & Collision a call so we can provide you with a free estimate so you know all of your options. Here is the number to reach our team: 719-635-3213
Dont let rust take-down your very important investment your vehicle.

I realized a few weeks ago that I welcomed all the news coverage of the Swine Flu. I know this does not sound right, but it is true! Finally the economy and the economic meltdown were not the lead stories! I didn't have to see any Project Economy or Economic Crisis logos flash across the screen.
I have a great way to relieve your anxiety over your portfolio and pending economic doom.
Turn off the news! Stop talking to everyone about the bad economy. You are just bringing yourself and others down. When engaged in the bad economy conversation tell people your taking a break because being negative about it will not help you move forward.
CNBC had its best ratings in eight years during the first quarter of this year.* During the start of the downward spiral last fall CNBC also had record ratings.** The evening news programs of the big three networks are improved over the economic crisis. The better the ratings the more the negative coverage will continue.
While it is my great belief that the media needs to take an economy coverage vacation it will not happen because they are prospering during the crisis. Just like an impending snowstorm sends all of us in New England to mob the grocery store in search of bread and milk, money troubles send us to the aficionados of CNBC and Fox Business. The more you are worried the more you tune in. It is a beautiful thing, if you are in the business of selling commercials.
Be brave my friends, break the cycle and turn off the news! Negativity will not help you make the moves necessary for financial independence.

Voltaire version 2
This is Voltaire ver. 2. He'll be turning one month old tomorrow and he just lives next door. I would visit him and his mommy dog Carla whenever I find time because it's always heartwarming holding a puppy. I just hope he lives for years like his half-brother Douglas, my dog, who is among the first batch of Carla's offsprings. Voltaire ver. 2 is the fifth batch. He's only one, though. Unico hijo. The second, third, and fourth batch didn't get to live beyond one month. Either they got sick, they're too many to be taken care of (my neighbor's an informal settler), or ate something they're not supposed to eat. I still miss Voltaire, my dog Douglas' brother, who my neighbor gave away early this year. I heard he passed away already after eating something. I don't know, my gut tells me that is not the real reason knowing that my neighbor likes to tell white lies, something that I do not understand about her. My neighbor took her almost a month to think of a name. I suggested "Bernard" because the puppy looks like St. Bernard. That's when she said, "Voltaire na lang. Bubuhayin ko na lang ito. Isa lang naman sya." I got excited hearing that.
I'm still missing Voltaire. For no two dogs are alike. Just like humans. But life has to go on despite the sadness. And oh, here's the closeup shot of Voltaire ver. 2!
To beat the blues away, read. With a mug of water. Then later, do your long list of household duties. That's Douglas relaxing beside me.

Wake up to the Deadly Risk: SMOKING IS THE BIGGEST HOUSE FIRE KILLER
in News
Smoking is the single biggest killer in accidental fires in the home, often because of careless behaviour such as smoking in bed or not taking care after drinking alcohol.
When smokers fall asleep with a lit cigarette in hand, their proximity to the resulting fire seriously lowers their chance of escaping in time.
HWFRS is reminding smokers to 'Put it Out, Right Out' whenever they light up, to install smoke alarms on every level of the home, and, to test the smoke alarms weekly. Without a working smoke alarm you are at least four times more likely to die in an accidental fire in the home.
These simple steps can help prevent a cigarette fire in the home:
- Never smoke in bed. Take care when you're tired – it's very easy to fall asleep while your cigarette is still burning and set furniture alight
- Never smoke when under the influence of drugs or alcohol. If your lit cigarette starts a fire you could be less able to escape.
- Put it out, right out! Make sure your cigarette is fully extinguished
- Fit a smoke alarm and test it weekly. A working smoke alarm can buy you valuable time to get out, stay out and call 999
- Never leave lit cigarettes, cigars or pipes unattended – they can easily overbalance as they burn down
- Use a proper, heavy ashtray that can't tip over easily and is made of a material that won't burn.
Station Commander Alan Haley from the Community Safety Department, HWFRS said: "Every six days, someone dies from a fire caused by cigarettes or smoking materials. Despite a fall in the overall number of fires caused by these products, it's still the biggest killer in accidental fires in the home across the country.
"Every smoker should wake up to the risks they take every time they light up, and drop the habit of smoking whilst in bed or under the influence of alcohol. The risk of falling asleep before you 'put it out, right out' is just too great.
He continued "Just two to three breaths of toxic smoke can render you unconscious, so invest in a working smoke alarm and test it monthly. It can give you the extra time you need to escape if the worst should happen".

Fantasy Trip
Today I happened upon this website for EAT. PRAY. MOVE. Yoga Holiday Retreats, and now I can't stop thinking or fantasizing about taking one! This one in particular!
All day I have had a smile on my face and a lightness to my step thinking about the idea of sun salutations, downward dogs, and cobras under the Moroccan Sky! I want to smell the deeply spiced air of Marrakesh while I meditate. I love the feeling of hope that comes with thinking of a potential trip. The first seed of a dream that gets planted.
Does anyone want to join me? If not I hope imagining it brings you as much joy as it has it has brought me today.

(The opinions expressed here are those of the author, a columnist for Reuters.)
By James Saft
(Reuters) – Many things about China stocks are funny, but probably not right now to investors in Hanergy Thin Film Power Group, Goldin Financial Holdings or Goldin Properties Holdings.
The three Hong Kong-listed shares, which had all increased in price several-fold in recent months, tumbled over the past two trading days in spectacular fashion. Solar company Hanergy's market value melted by $19 billion in scarcely more minutes on Wednesday, tumbling 47 percent on no news before the stock was suspended. Thursday brought similar tumbles in the linked Goldin companies, which fell more than 40 percent each, slashing their value by $23 billion. Goldin Financial is a short-term commercial lender but has wide-ranging property interests, while Goldin Properties is a developer.
The companies issued various protestations of health and puzzlement. But, other than their vertiginous rise, rather meager earnings and very thin analyst coverage, no definitive explanation for the falls emerged. Hong Kong's financial regulator in March cautioned investors about Goldin Financial, which has acted as an adviser to Hanergy, noting that its thinly traded shares were 98 percent held by just 20 investors.
A person familiar with the situation told Reuters that Hanergy Thin Film had been under investigation for several weeks by Hong Kong's Securities and Futures Commission for alleged market manipulation.
Other than standing well back, there is little an investor can do in these circumstances. The facts will, or will not, emerge on their own time-table, or rather not on one favorable to outside equity investors.
What we can do is look at some stylized facts about stock markets in Hong Kong and on the mainland, from which it is easy to draw some broad conclusions.
To put it simply, China is in a speculative mania that is being stoked, and sometimes tamped, by the government as a tool to other ends.
Because this is happening on earth, where the laws of physics still prevail, eggs and hearts will be broken. Because it is happening in China, how that plays out; who gets rich and who loses money, is really not so simple.
Debt-financed equity investment has exploded in China. Credit Suisse estimates that 6 to 9 percent of all China stock market capitalization is financed by debt. Margin debt in the United States is around 2.5 percent, according to Fitch Ratings. If you presume that many company owners have large holdings with no debt, not to mention state-owned companies, that figure may understate the impact of debt on valuations.
While much of the debt-financed speculation is hard to track, coming through trusts and other non-disclosed sources of funds, margin lending is easier to get a handle on. Fitch estimates that margin balances at China stock exchanges has nearly doubled since the end of 2014, standing now at more than $300 billion, or 3.1 percent of domestic market cap. State media reported in late April that margin credit was growing at 5 percent of outstanding credit daily.
Predictably stocks are surging, the regrettable examples above excepted. The CSI 300 Index of Shanghai and Shenzen stocks has more than doubled since late September. The Hang Seng is up nearly 18 percent year-to-date, fueled in part by flows from the mainland.
Margin lending is such good business that companies, notably China Galaxy Securities Co., are selling stock in Hong Kong to fund equity lending. China Galaxy said it would use most of the more than $3 billion it raised in April via a Hong Kong stock placement for margin and stock lending and securities financing.
Underlying the boom is the belief that the Chinese government wants stock markets to rise, in part to cushion a needed transition from an investment-led to a consumption-led economy, as well as to soften an ongoing growth slowdown.
Note that the morning after Shanghai market turnover hit a record on April 21, the People's Daily enthused that gains in the Shanghai Composite were "just the beginning of the bull market."
"The Chinese government, which in the past viewed the stock market as a casino for speculators, now is using it to boost the economy and enable reforms," Yardini Research said in a report on Thursday.
That may well be. If you think "Don't fight the Fed" is a prudent investment philosophy, then you certainly ought not to resist a Chinese government with comparatively far more influence over what happens in its financial markets.
Which is not to say that there won't be a bust in China stocks, not to mention more spectacular Goldin-style ledge leaps. China stocks are tough to bet against, but a hard way to make money and sleep well.

Happy birthday to me!
Guess what? I'm 12 and a half years old!
Compared to my female human, I look like a puppy. She's got wrinkles around her eyes, and her jaws have started to sag - and she's only 42 human years old. Well, to be fair she's never had a chance - I'm the one all the chihuahuas, salukis and (oh dear) labradors find irresistible. I'm blonde and I've got long legs and a tiny waist, and I happen to own this city. Try to beat that!

bad mood barbara ?
i have been awaken many a night here lately screaming in pain from leg cramps, i am not a happy camper and i thought i would just tell you guys about it. poly neuropathy, diabetes, all stink ! if i really felt good i would probably die from surprise !
20 replies
I have different pains that wake me up several times a night, too. Just adds a challenge to the day in thinking of different ways to stay awake! Gotta have a sense of humor with this much fun in your life!
diabetes, bad mood, no sleep. pain of all sorts!!!
what's not to like??? lmao.lol,rotfl
The good thing is meeting all of you!! Together we can kick a mood in the waszoo!!
big ol hug
So sorry Barbara. I'm lucky to not have that problem (yet.) I hope you find some relief. You're in my thoughts and prayers friend. Take care and feel better! Hugs, Angie
i see that the rating has been changed from 100 % to 92 % lets see if we can bring it on down ! i wrote the d—- thing, it wasn't meant to help anyone , other than allow an outlet for me to complain and anybody else that needed to. i rate it a 0 % see i told you i was in a bad mood !
You're a hoot, Barb! Feel better.
yes, actually i do ! thank you lady di, you seem to know me purty well !
Your wit is a little like good old Maxine's, and I love her!
she and i are first cousin's !
For leg cramps, which to me are different from neuropathic pain, I would suggest taking a potassium supplement, even if your serum levels appear to be OK. When I've been active (such as doing a lot of walking or gardening), and I unconsciously flex my muscles in my sleep, I wake up with leg cramps. I've learned the hard way to pre-treat, especially when the potassium levels are getting at the bottom of the normal scale.
I hate them leg cramps too. toes curl uncontrolable in pain. I know where your comming from. best thing i find for relief to get back to sleep is warm compresses over cramp area. Just wet a towel in as hot as water you can get and put in a plastic bag. place it over area cramped area. this helps the best for me anyways. David
Waking up with severe leg cramps doesn't put me in a very good mood either. The pain is horrendous!!!
I had leg cramps for a couple years b4 I knew I had diabetes. The numbing in the feet is what finally got me to a Dr to find out I had diabetes. Sad thing is that I should have known since both my parents were diabetic…
Anyway, I feel your pain ;) (I know, bad pun) Here's to a good night sleep, with no cramps!
oh ! the blessings of true friends, those who have the pain and those who know the ones with the pain. only the brethren understand the disease !
I'm constantly hearing of folks who learned that they were diabetic through other issues, such as surgery, an injury or a situation such as you experienced. With all the statistics we read and hear, I can't even imagine how many that are out there who will die without ever knowing they had it. Unless they experience the signs and recognize them for what they are, or they're forced to have blood work for some other reason, they will go through life oblivious to it.
I've been so blessed not to have experienced that, but from the way people describe it, it must just be awful. I have several friends who deal with it here locally, and my heart breaks for them. Neuropathy is certainly one of the more awful parts of dealing with diabetes. My heart goes out to all of you who live with it day and night. I know you must all take meds for it, and I presume that helps - some. Apparently it doesn't totally relieve it. It's enough to make you "not a happy camper", I am sure.
Oh girl, I know what you mean. About the pain, and waking up without. My body would not know what to do!
My pain is different from yours, but I know about pain, and no sleep!
sleep ? is that the 15 min i had right before i woke up screaming ?

By posing as a diamond cutter, she has infiltrated the company of the seven men once protected by her wizard father—Merlin. Now that she has found the stone, all that is left is to steal it. Except that Derek Arthur is the security expert hired by the seven Chevalier brothers to find the jewel thief. The desire that sparks between Sasha and Derek takes them both by surprise. In addition, Derek is about to learn some facts about his past that he never expected when he took this case.
This is an imaginative retelling of a mishmash of fairytales: "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves" meets "King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table" with a modern twist. Readers might be offended by the very frequent use of profanity, including a much-overused f-bomb. Aside from the copious profanity, and the vividly described sex scenes, the story is interesting in how the author blends old legends and modern-day believable characters in a twisting and fast-moving plot. The characters are distinctive and the HEA is organic. This is a fascinating fairy tale-type story, with a vivid voice!

In the contemporary contest between stable identity as it is rendered by such affirmative agencies as nationality, education, tradition, language and religion, on the one hand, and all sorts of marginal, alienated or, in Immanuel Wallerstein's phrase, anti-systemic forces on the other, there remains an incipient and unresolved tension. One side gathers more dominance and centrality, the other is pushed further from the center, toward either violence or new forms of authenticity like fundamentalist religion. In any event, the tension produces a frightening consolidation of patriotism, assertions of cultural superiority mechanisms of control, whose power and ineluctability reinforce what I have been describing as the logic of identity. 7
Note 1: Of course, such tensions were also present in North India. See, among others who have identified these issues for the North, Gyanendra Pandey, "Peasant Revolt and Indian Nationalism: The Peasant Movement in Awadh, 1919-1922," in Subaltern Studies I (New Delhi, 1982): 143-197; and Shahid Amin, "Gandhi As Mahatma: Gorakhpur District, Eastern UP, 1921-2," in Subaltern Studies III (New Delhi, 1984): 1-61.

I went to Santorini in Greece, for the wedding of my big brother.
He got married in a vineyard, on top of a mountain, overlooking a volcano it was pretty epic.
From the moment we arrived on the island I was fascinated by a small white wall, clinging half way up the side of the Messavouno mountain.
Early one morning after breakfast I decided to climb the mountain to find out what was behind the wall.
There was an awesome hiking trail leading up to the area loads of cool lizards about,
Erhard's Wall Lizard, hooded crows, swifts and even a falcon I have never seen before called Elenora's falcon.
When I finally reached the wall I felt like my heart was going to burst out of my chest. I couldn't believe what I found... The Spring of Zoodochos Pigi a tiny little church in a little walled courtyard with a tree and behind the church, a cave with the oldest natural spring on the island, perfect for cooling off. In the church you could light a candle for lost souls and there were lads of chintzy religious paintings of the saints, which I always love.
At the top of the mountain was the ancient city of Thera, amazing views and an amazing historical ruin.
It was definitely one of the best places I have ever visited and I would highly recommend it.

There has been so much "hype" all over the Internet concerning Nokia's updates on the "presumed dead" OS – Symbian. As of now, people currently have their fingers crossed, body itching and currently anxious as to when the Nokia Belle will arrive!
Well, this post looks deep into another major update coming on the Nokia platform called the Symbian Carla! (Did you notice the sequence? A = Anna, B = Belle, C = Carla, D = Donna 🙂 )
What you should Know about Symbian Carla!
After the release of Symbian Anna and Nokia Belle on the Nokia (Symbian) OS, there has been a lot of efforts by Nokia to keep improving the OS to make it the people's choice. Symbian Carla is said to be another major update coming on Nokia devices very soon. Apparently, Symbian Carla is presumed to bring support for Dolby surround sound, along with a new widget and better NFC connectivity. The new OS upgrade will also come with other enhancements, but specific info on other improvements that it might include have not emerged so far.
What Devices will actually have Carla?
There has been a lot of rumor that the Symbian Carla will not be supported by the 1st Generation Symbian^3 phones. We do NOT have complete details of the devices that would be enjoying the Carla update but a little research we made shows that it MAY be available for the FORE-runners of the Symbian^3 platform (N8, E7, C7, X7, C6-01, and the E6). Here happens to be images (of an error log report) by the Nokia engineers displaying test results of the Symbian Carla tested on two devices (the Nokia E7 and the Nokia E6).
Please click on the Images to make it bigger
Also, here's an Image by the SymbianLatino guys at a presentation displaying a set of phones which are proposed to be in the Symbian Carla family. Though it's too blurry, but I think I saw a C7 right there? 🙂
Now the BIG question I guess is … When? Count on us to keep you updated.
Read more from the guys at Symbian Developers
Huge thanks to the guys at SymbianLatino for some of the resources in this post!

The underlying BMWP principle of using families of macro-invertebrates as biological indicators remains. The method has been designed to respond to the presence of organic pollution but can also be used for other water quality parameters.

With the end of Ben Bernanke's term looming overhead, the question of who will take over at the Federal Reserve remains. One likely candidate is Janet Yellen.
"She's not a 180 from Ben Bernanke. I think they are kindred spirits," said Ernie Patrikis, former general counsel of the New York Federal Reserve. "The lady is eminently qualified."
Yellen's stance is dovish, having openly stated that the Fed shouldn't rush to cut quantitative easing too soon. "When the time comes for a change, will the people on the Federal Open Market Committee have the courage to make the change?" said Patrikis, currently a partner at White & Case. "I don't know that a hawk would have any more courage than a dove. You can talk a good game, but you've got to do it." Patrikis added that he doesn't see Yellen as "weak-kneed."
Yellen's selection would be groundbreaking, considering that there has not been a female president or a female Wall Street CEO before. "It's always nice to break another glass ceiling," Patrikis said, "but to me, it's a nonevent." He said, "The question is: Is she the right person at the right time? I couldn't say no to that."

When I took a cupping course in early May, I was totally expecting to come home looking like Polkaroo with those dark, bruise-like perfect circles that cupping is known for. To my surprise, I found out that cupping doesn't always leave marks. Of course in my case, the one that did was in the middle of my forehead but I didn't even care because it got rid of my headache in two minutes and the mark disappeared in a few days. Jeannine of the Vankleek Hill Massage Clinic says sometimes the marks can show up even a day later on some people. Dark marks tend to occur in areas where there is stagnation or muscle soreness.
Soft silicone cups (there are different types of cups but Jeannine and I both use silicone) are pushed to create a vacuum. The skin gets sucked into the cups, lifting and separating the superficial layers of skin and muscle. Since massage is typically pushing down, cupping provides a nice change. It feels amazing – that's what drew me to the course. The cups can be applied with a quick 'set and release' pattern, left on for several minutes, or my favourite, gliding. Gliding is ideal for those who don't want to risk the marking. Much like a massage, cupping is great for relieving muscle tension and it's associated pain.
If you are ok for massage, you are usually fine for cupping, although anyone with heart problems should not be cupped. In Vankleek Hill, both Amell Massage Therapy and the Vankleek Hill Massage Clinic provide cupping. Ask about adding it to your next massage.

You need cozy bedroom ideas to stay comfortable in your bedroom. Your bedroom will not be cozy without any efforts from you. Wrong efforts can make your bedroom become uncomfortable. You can feel that your bedroom is a hell if you make wrong decisions to create your cozy bedroom. Advice from experts is necessary to help you to create a cozy bedroom and you can follow your neighbor design besides of combining any available options you have to create a cozy bedroom. However, the final decision is in your hand and no one can force you to implement a design because it is your bedroom and forcing others is illegal
There are several designs of cozy bedroom ideas you can use to design your bedroom such as: keep your bedroom simple, use textiles with pattern and vintage designs including vintage wallpapers, mix some floral patterns in your bedroom designs, make trials on pattern, add some curtains that can make you feel cozy, use a throw of texture, use some rugs, bring the images from outside your bedroom into the theme of your bedroom, use a ceiling that is beamed, and put some floral things inside your bedroom. Of course, by keeping simple you will not need to feel dizzy because your stuff is at every place that can make you fall or make you unable to sleep because of a full bedroom. Some other designs are necessary to make your room perfect.
You have to be able to pay the things to enable you to have cozy bedroom ideas and application. No matter good the design is, if you cannot afford to pay the things that you need to bring to create a cozy bedroom, the design will be useless. If you cannot afford the fee, just try to create minimum things to make you able to feel a minimum comfort. At least you still can sleep although you only get minimum comfort. The most important thing is you still can sleep. Another important thing is if your bedroom is small, you have to reconsider choosing the best to put in your bedroom among the things to put above.

My friend Janet
You have to stop right now and think of someone who has had a huge impact on your life, but you didn't realize how big until later. With that person in mind you can fully understand this post.
Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control, all the fruits just well up out of Janet. She is clearly God's servant. I had almost forgotten just how well she displays these attributes until this weekend when I got to see her again.
Phil (her husband)and Janet were the college group leaders when Michael started taking me to church. Very shortly after that is when I became a Christian. There are so many things they tried to teach me back then that I wouldn't listen to. Things about living debt free, evolution, submission and love for your spouse, inerrancy of the Scriptures, the list goes on and on. (Michael wasn't nearly as ignorant as I was!) Now looking back I can see just how their influence has shaped much of my thinking today. All those truth seeds they planted during our time together have produced fruit in my life.
I am a huge proponent of love being a verb, not just something you feel, but something you do. Love is sacrificial service. Phil and Janet gave up sleeping in every Sunday morning to teach our college group, even when only 2 or 3 people showed up for the class. They made us dinner almost every Sunday night, took us camping, skiing, jet-skiing, played games with us until the wee hours of the morning. When Michael and I broke up Janet was the first person I called. As we were remembering this, she wanted to know if I knew what she said to me, and I can't remember, but she was there for me, that is what was important.
So thanks to Phil and Janet for such wonderful memories and more importantly for such wonderful examples to follow.
Maybe someday I will do a post all about Phil, well, I could do several posts about Phil...all good of course!

She sounds like such a special lady. She definitely has impacted your life, because I can see many of those traits in you, too, Christian.

Here's where I go to shop11:47:00
I often get questions on where I shop, which is less of a statement about my styling calibre than it is an offhand observation that I hardly wear the same outfit twice.
Well. I technically do, just not in the same permutations each time. Money and closet capacity just don't permit otherwise! These days I shop purposefully and take clothes to the checkout only if they have an effective cost-per-wear, which means I don't buy it unless I see myself matching it with everything else in my wardrobe. I've doubled down on dresses because they can mostly only be worn in one standard way. This Topshop embroidered top and skirt were procured at the eleventh hour the week preceding Chinese New Year earlier this year, out of desperation to avoid the traditional. And I've worn it so many different ways ever since.
Which brings me to my list. This is where I go when the urge hits me (as it does ever so often) to put something new in my wardrobe. We'll start with the obvious.
Topshop (obviously)
I love Topshop so much. I don't even know where to start. They once did a plaid shirt with a frilled bib and collar. Then they did a camel hued corduroy midi skirt. Who even does that? Topshop. The end.
I shop at the Reformation with much restraint due to the fact that they have price tags that make my heart disintegrate into dust, but their dresses and co-ords are so good they're part of Taylor Swift's squad. As in, she's photographed in them so often it puts her other bossom buddies to shame. The Ref prides themselves on ethical sourcing and eco-friendly production methods, but more importantly, you know you're going to look good in anything they shove in your face. Have you seen the way the fabric is cut? Or the thigh high slits that make your pins look miles long? I love those sassy, provocative overtones that aren't usually associated with mass produced fashion. I'll have one of everything.
Shop Reformation here
Shop Reformation here
This one is in no way pocket friendly by conventional standards but I have a weakness for their minimal and very elegant design aesthetic. It reminds me of Phoebe Philo, which maybe is a signpost for overstepping copyright liberties, but the slick lines and luxe fabrics get me every time. I bought a pair of white pants and the TL;DR version of this love story is that they sit so agreeably alongside the undulations of my hips and legs that I'm always more than happy to undertake the burden of having to keep them spotless throughout the entire day.
Shop COLLATE here
Shop COLLATE here
This is a tried-tested-true option through and through, but if we're being real here, Zara churns up the best skirts in the game. We're talking numerous iterations of the most beautiful brocade A-line, intricately embroidered, delicately pleated midi or coyly slitted maxi skirts. Sometimes they don't fit properly and even the smallest size needs to be held in place with a large rubber banded knot—which, is strange because I swear God once allotted me a generous serve of hips 24 years ago—but in general I'd say if you have to succumb to the guilty pleasure that is fast fashion, Zara is the least of all necessary evils.
This is like going into a vintage store - Storets' clothes are either really great, or uninspiring enough to pass up at first glance. But that's why people thrift shop, right? It's all about the off chance that you might spot something unexpectedly brilliant. Which I have. I once bought a black sweater with exaggerated cascading ruffles for sleeves, and a white off-shoulder top with an inbuilt choker, things I never thought were even a thing. You need a penchant for quirk to be able to appreciate Storets, but you'll find some insanely good wardrobe fillers here.

It is quite possibly the last thing you will ever need to buy online.
For those who want to avoid the unpleasant trip to the funeral home, Internet funeral services offer a range of burial options online, from pet caskets to mausoleums.
Though perhaps a little impersonal, sites such as www.urnsand caskets.com and www.casket andurn.com (yes there is a difference) may help you with that one purchase that will last for all eternity.
Besides, at least one site (www.richardlamb.com) offers "live help" in the form of an online chat.
One of the biggest online funeral services, Webcaskets boasts hundreds of caskets at www.web caskets.com.
Its collection, which starts at $50 for a cardboard cremation casket and runs to $11,000 for a solid walnut casket with velvet interior, includes a range of burial options.

Good evening friend's! Today I had a better day than yesterday. The wasp sting is annoying but I can live with it and it was nice just spending time with the family!
Here is my dad with our dog and my aunties dog – the one on the chair… she had to go home today but it was nice having her.
I spent the afternoon having some bonding time with our dog – Sir Brinks.
While we were out on our walk I took this opportunity to capture this moment of a para-glider mid flight…
That's all for today friend's, have a good night! ~*

The mission of the Eel River Initiative is to design and implement a holistic strategy to restore the ecological integrity of the Eel River basin within the context of human endeavors and to provide ecological research opportunities for Manchester
University Environmental Studies students.
Benefit: The Eel River is a major tributary of the Wabash River in Northern Indiana. The Eel is a 5th order stream which has a watershed with land use nearly 80% row crop agriculture. In spite of this agriculturally dominated landscape, the Eel supports indicators of biological hope. There are bald eagles that nest along the river, nearly 60 species of fishes, over 20 species of freshwater mussels (including one federally endangered species and a recent reintroduction of an additional federally endangered mussel species), and river otters widely distributed throughout the basin. Highly regarded by anglers, the Eel also supports a strong sport fishery consisting of smallmouth bass and various panfish. In fact, the Eel River was featured on one of the early televised fishing shows in the 1960s called the "Flying Fisherman" by Gadabout Gaddis. The episode featured the Eel River as an outstanding smallmouth bass fishery. Since this time the smallmouth fishery has shown inconsistent year-classes and has been the focus of much of our research.
As a result of a basin-wide initiative led by the Environmental Studies Program at Manchester University, a broad support base of conservation partners and local residents have become sincerely involved and aware of the Eel River as a natural resource treasure. We have removed two low-head dams with assistances from NFHP funding and a third dam is scheduled for removal in fall 2016 with NFHP funding as well. These are the first three dams in Indiana to be removed using NFHP funds. On the political front, these removals resulted in a larger state-wide interest and effort to remove dams from Indiana streams. In the fall of 2015, the first dam removal symposium was held in Indiana, where the Eel River dam removals and NFHP were highlighted. Ecologically, the Eel River is now safer for humans and our research has shown a significantly positive response in stream habitat and fish community structure after the dams were removed. Our research illustrated an amazing immediate positive response in stream habitat scores and fish indices once the dams were removed. This response was a fantastic opportunity for students to witness and to scientifically document. For the first time since the early 1800s the Eel flows freely and anglers enjoy new and better places to go fishing, and paddlers are experiencing a smoother float due to reduced portages.
An additional NFHP project, located in the Eel at river mile 30, is old Stockdale grist mill and dam, which have been restored to operational condition. There is no option for removal of the dam, but a partnership was established with the Stockdale Mill Foundation to explore a fish passageway alternative. Through our relationship with the NFHP a plan was funded in cooperation with the Stockdale Mill Foundation to build a prototype modular fish passageway around the mill dam. The project includes research to describe the efficiency of this new design and the project has generated a great deal of public interest. Plans also include an informational kiosk, a viewing window in the fish ladder, and an improved parking lot to encourage use and promote awareness of both the river and history at this site. This project has wide application across the Midwest United States.
Awareness of the Eel River ecosystem as a significant natural resource in our communities (particularly with farmers) has grown significantly. The NFHP has led to countless positive relationships with agricultural producers through water quality funding and on-the-ground conservation. This work has spurred additional partnerships with state and federal agencies and private nonprofit organizations like the Indiana Corn Marketing Council and Indiana Soybean Alliance (see list below).
The NFHP work in the Eel Basin has complimented other conservation work with the following partners:
Conservation Partners:
Manchester University(Environmental Studies Programs),
Agricultural producers,
Natural Resources Conservation Service,
Indiana Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts,
Wabash, Miami, Kosciusko, Whitley, Fulton, and Cass County Soil and Water Conservation Districts,
Indiana Department of Natural Resources,
Indiana Department of Environmental Management,
Indiana Soybean Alliance,
Indiana Corn Marketing Council,
United States Fish and Wildlife Service,
Waterborne Inc.,
Environmental Defense Fund,
and the Cargill Foundation.
These partners have added significantly to the broad-base of conservation support in the basin. As an example, the Manchester University Environmental Studies Program has partnered with the Natural Resources Conservation Service Mississippi River Basin Initiative (MRBI). This partnership promotes cost-share of soil and water conservation practices that reduce export of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment from agricultural fields and improves soil health. This mission is directed to help improve local stream ecological integrity, contribute toward a 45% reduction in nutrients
to the Gulf of Mexico, build positive conservation partnerships with local producers, provide soil and water conservation opportunities that improve soil health and maintains economically viable production of food and fiber, and finally provide research and experiential learning opportunities for Manchester
University Environmental Studies students.
This effort in the Eel River basin of north-central Indiana has resulted in expenditures of nearly $5 million in the middle Eel River region since the first round of MRBI in 2010. In 2015-16 over $300,000 of cost-share has been obligated in Miami, Wabash, and Kosciusko Counties. Practices included:
1. No-till, Nutrient Management, pest management, cover crops.
2. Animal waste pit closure with cover crops.
3. Cover crops.
4. No-till, Nutrient Management, pest management, cover crops, hay seedings, water lines, water tanks, well.
1. Four contracts APPROVED for $212,055
2. Three applications PRE-APPROVED (waiting on more funding) for $49,588
3. Eight applications PENDING or ELIGIBLE requesting in excess of $40,000
*The below data was analyzed in the NFHP economic calculation separately.
Based on the Gentner Consulting Group, Inc. Economic model for the *National Fish Habitat Partnership Program, the economic impact of these dollars in the region includes:
Expenditure: $301,643.00
Jobs Created: 6
Total Sales: $569,745
Value added: $297,092
Income: $241,034.00
Conservation partnerships have connected agricultural producers, natural resource agencies like USFWS/NFHP, and Manchester University students who have worked together to examine and describe water quality in area streams and ecological research. Over 40 students have participated in water quality monitoring programs and research since 2010. Students have had the opportunity to learn about the business of agriculture, natural resource programs like NFHP, stream ecology, and fisheries science. As a result of this cooperative and positive approach local producers have allowed water quality stations on their farms and have asked for data from these stations. The agricultural producers are concerned about water quality and want to know what levels of nutrients and sediment end up in the streams. This dialogue is critically important as the conservation movement continues forward and more producers adopt better farming practices. Through funding from NFHP, this dialogue has expanded to include the USFWS.
The challenge for conservation programs is to provide supporting data that illustrates positive changes such as a decrease in nutrient and sediment export due to upland conservation practices. For watershed scale research in agricultural watersheds it will require continuous ecological monitoring to illuminate
patterns and trends over an extended time period. The monitoring program used by Manchester University scientists and students is comprehensive and examines time integrated water quality data along with biological data to provide historic ecological benchmarks. The loss of nutrients from the agricultural landscape is significant, measuring in tons per year in the Eel River, but soil loss continues to be orders of magnitude a much larger nonpoint source pollutant. There is tremendous natural variability in watershed science that becomes the rationale for long-term data sets. Goals will be reached through strategic conservation initiatives and strengthened relationships with agricultural producers. The documentation of future changes is critical through good science. Success of the Manchester University Environmental Studies initiatives is not always found in data that illustrates a downward trend in nutrient or sediment export or fish community improvement, but rather in the positive conservation partnerships and newly established lines of communication with agricultural producers. The success is found in the lives of the over 40 students who have participated in water quality monitoring and stream ecological research, or in the hundreds of local community people who have learned about the Eel River ecosystem. Values and attitudes of farmers toward soil health, nutrient management, and water quality is changing as a result of our work - and this is critical. Farmers visit the Manchester University water quality laboratory, they ask to see data, and they ask for streams to be tested. Agricultural landscape level changes will require programs with vision and continuity and a firm understanding of temporal and spatial natural science processes. Our success is a testament to a community of people who recognize that it is clearly possible to have an economically viable landscape and a clean and healthy river ecosystem.
