If you've owned a business for any length of time, you know the truth: the reality of running a business in the real world is much different from what you probably pictured. Yes, there are triumphant moments that remind you why you wanted to start a business in the first place, but there are moments where you end up mired in the day-to-day trivialities that get in the way of the really satisfying parts of the business.
It's for this reason that many business owners turn to employment law attorneys. Employment law attorneys specialize in taking those tedious and complicated tasks off your hands, letting you get back to what you love doing the most.
Attorneys can help employers with crafting employee handbooks and policies that help the company comply with regulations. They can give counsel and defend you if you are accused of discrimination or harassment. They can draft and negotiate employee contracts that will protect your interests. They can help you work through issues of workers' compensation and unemployment compensation. They can even make sure your employees' benefits and wages are taken care of according to the law. In fact, employment lawyers handle all of these compensation nuances:
- Pay for independent contractors.
- Paying salary for traveling employees.
- Dealing with past due unpaid overtime.
- Minimum wage compliance.
- Tracking timesheets and work done off the clock.
- Figuring lunches and work breaks.
At Kisner Law Firm, we have years of experience helping Pennsylvania business owners with everything they need to make their business a success, from defending accusations to giving guidance where needed. To find out more about how we can help you, visit our Employment Law page.

The devastation a narcissist can leave in their wake can be awful. As someone who has rebuilt their life after a toxic relationship with a narcissist I can say that life can be happy, meaningful and beautiful again, however unlikely that may seem when you first make the split.
Below are my top tips in order of priority for recovering from a toxic relationship with a narcissist, please do let me know if you have any tips of your own to add.
- Narcissists can work to isolate you from friends and family to gain more control over you. Take time to nurture relationships with friends and family to strengthen your support network and explain to them why you maybe haven't seen them much during your last relationship.
- Most narcissists lack boundaries and often they may expect to dictate how you spend your free time (which they usually say has to be with them). One of the first steps towards healing should therefore be to learn assertiveness so as to protect you from similar hurt in future. Please read 'How to free yourself and assert your rights' which looks at how to protect your own personal rights that you were born with. Please also read 'Assertiveness: A Journey Worth Taking' to discover how to create healthy boundaries in your future relationships.

text: On December 26th of 2004 I was sleeping on the beach of Unawatuna, Sri Lanka - in a lovely Guesthouse called The Strand - when the tsunami hit. I miraculously managed to survive the fury of the wave, after being trapped and almost drowned, but it was only thanks to the generosity and selflessness of the people of Sri Lanka that I managed to return safe home after an exhausting wait. Surviving this catastrophe of incalculable proportions, I feel like I have received an enormous gift but also a great responsibility. The tsunami, in fact, represents a great moment of meditation to reflect upon those events that go so much beyond our comprehension and understanding of the world; those we can't define as either positive or negative. They just ARE. Just like life itself: a constant cycle where after destruction can come new life.

I did little today on marketing my manuscripts. I did write a blog about my grandmother who would have been 112 years old today on my Proud of Every Wrinkle blog. It was 1268 words long.
I saved it in both my story ideas and articles folders. I can see ideas in that blog for both.
I guess I had her on my mind. My mother and I lived with my grandmother during a lot of my childhood.
I wrote a stanza for my stanza collection tonight.

The Daily Look Experience: Part 2
This is the second set of posts that I've done, personally evaluating and walking through many of the personal shopping subscriptions out there right now, so stay tuned for more.
Next up: Daily Look Elite Box. If you haven't read Part 1, check it out here; The Daily Look Experience: Part 1. If you haven't read The Stitch Fix Experience, Parts 1 and 2, check them out as well.
The Overall Experience
I am happy to say that my Daily Look Elite Box was a grand improvement over the Stitch Fix box I received. The clothes were higher quality, much more on-trend and my style, and really just a tad bit more than the Stitch Fix selections. They actually have their own label, which they don't make very obvious, especially when you order the Elite Box, but you can browse their own label here from their Shop page. It's a little irritating that they keep this somewhat hidden because, just like Stitch Fix's exclusive labels, you have no way to compare the prices.
The Website and Correspondence
Although I did like the clothes a lot more, the website left a bit to be desired. I encountered a few random errors, a caching issue that left me in logged in but not logged in never never land, and some 'nulls' displayed here and there. I also got about a million emails from them, and while I'm all about getting updated when my order status changes, they sent me multiple emails welcoming me to the services, then after my stylist chose my items and I'd reviewed the selections, they sent me a "we're in the process of finding you the perfect stylist" email which was weird. They sent me a whopping 12 emails (obviously all not pictured here) throughout the entire process, and I didn't do anything out of the ordinary, and that is just way too many.
The Unique Features
One of the biggest differences between the Stitch Fix and Daily Look is that Daily Look lets you swap out a few items before your box gets mailed. Once your stylist selects your initial items, you get an email to let you know you can review your selections. At that time, you can review what your stylist has picked out for you and say you don't like up to 3 items. I'm not sure if that number is always 3 or if it's a percentage of some sorts, but mine was 3. They let you enter a reason for removing the item as well. Once I did this, I didn't get to review the new selections though, so you just get one chance. While I think this is a great feature, it wasn't quite as thrilling to get my box of goodies because I already knew most of what goodies would be inside. I suppose that's personal preference though.
The Box
click on images to view larger
The box was nice quality with logo and hash tag printed on it. The clothes were very neatly folded in branded tissue paper and the packing slip, return bag, instructions and mailing label were all tucked in a nice white envelope. I'm assuming that since I had shoes in my box, the label didn't come pre-stuck on my return shipment bag and according to the instructions, I had the option of returning the items in the box or the bag (assuming that is for if I didn't keep the shoes since they came in a shoebox this time rather than a bag like Stitch Fix did). It arrived on time, I was notified that it shipped and arrived and they include tracking.
The Clothes
I'll go through the pieces I received one by one, but I just wanted to apologize first for the quality of the pics. I am no photographer. My computer doesn't seem to want to handle editing these photos, and my eyelids don't want to stay open, so they'll have to do. They were all fairly high quality and the fabrics were nice crepes and cottons. There was no super cheap, keep away from flames at all costs, type fabrics in this box like last time.
Daily Look Easy Days Woven Sleeveless Dress in Charcoal
This dress was very cute, very short, but very cute. I liked that it fit how it should on me because normally shift dresses are a bit too long on me and look funny. It was a very nice charcoal color, less blue than the pics look. I love the zipper detail in the back too. I just didn't think it was worth $74. I probably would've kept it for about $40, but they wanted almost double that, so I said no thanks.
Daily Look Front Tie Keyhole Blouse
There isn't much to say about this top. It was very cute, and I loved the tie detail on the front, but it's just the same top most of us have about 5 of already, so I sent it back.
Penelope Shift Tie-Waist Dress
This dress is a beauty. I say is and not was because <drumroll please> I kept it! It has a fabric tie at the waist and a wide sleeve opening. I first tried it on while barefoot and it swallowed me up a bit, but with the nude heels, it looked perfect! It's made by Lumiere, who I found online, but not the specific dress, so again, it's hard to know if it's overpriced by much. In order to see prices on their website at all, you need a wholesaler account, which I'm trying to get, but can't find my sales tax number at the moment so it'll have to wait. Anyway, look for this dress to pop up in future blog posts, if I ever get my shit together and lose the rest of this weight.
Femme Cropped Trousers
I'm not sure if these were on sale or something because typically at nicer stores, the .99 represents a sale price. Either way, these pants were adorable, but I just don't have the body for them. My mom and I both tried these on and they didn't fit either of us. That being said, we have completely opposite body types and we are both really short. I have a very wide waist and super narrow hips and she has very wide hips and a tiny little waist. Perhaps these would fit somebody with a more average body type? The material was super soft and I wanted to badly to keep them and try to shrink my waist to fit, but that will never happen, so I set them free. If it's meant to be, they'll find me someday.
Woven Lace Trim Peasant Blouse
This was nice, but very summery. It looked like a top you'd wear over a swimsuit when you're trying to hit the beach, but it's still too chilly out. I would rather save my money for the new fall stuff coming out.
Steve Madden Proto Pumps
These were your basic, nude pumps. They fit great, looked great, I just wanted something with a different texture. They were a kind of shiny leather, but not patent, so they looked a bit unintentionally rubbery. They were great to try things on with though! I recently bought these instead.
Joe's Jeans The Petite Provocateur
These fit like a dream, which is saying a lot for somebody as short and stocky as me. I have really really really really thick legs, both calves and thighs, but have narrow little hips, so finding skinny jeans that fit is a nightmare. These fit great, and I'm willing to pay for a great fit, I just am not feeling the skinny right now. I need to lose some more weight, so I don't want to spend this much and have my size change so they don't fit anymore. This is a lot to spend on a pair of jeans that I can probably get on sale somewhere else too since so many retailers carry Joe's Jeans. It is a great, high quality and on trend brand though, so I'm glad that they offer it. If I had hundreds of dollar to blow on whatever I wanted, I'd have kept them.
The Checkout
The checkout process was pretty typical. You log into your profile and from there you can rate, review and either keep or return any item you received in your box. I documented my checkout process so that I can type less and show more here. One thing to add though is that the jeans show up as about $16 more expensive here, so again - maybe it's just a wacky website thing. They really need to up their QA game or just get some better developers.
Would I use Daily Look Elite Box again? Sure, but like I've said before, pigs will fly before I let another person shop for me. Unless you're Tyra Banks or Time Gun, then we can all go shopping together and be BFFs for the rest of time. #iWish. The clothing designs were great, the fabrics were great quality and everything was new (seeming), clean and stylish. I loved the colors my stylist picked out for me and the fits were generally pretty good. One of my only complaints would be that I told my stylist that I already had too many silky sleeveless blouses and she sent me another one. Also, the cropped pants were super cute, but no where near fitting my inseam, which she had. Just because pants are cropped doesn't mean a shorter person can wear them because the cut is made to hit at or above the ankle, not be full length pants, which any stylist should know.
My biggest complaint is that in order to cancel the subscription, I had to call them. Then once I sat on hold for about 15 minutes, the (very nice) customer service representative tells me that she'll put a note in my account that I want to cancel, but I'll have to call back again once I get the email confirmation saying that they've received my returned items, and tell them I want to cancel. This was a few weeks ago and I still haven't received the email (maybe they used all of their email sending energy in the first half of this process), but after I just checked my account, it says they've received my request to cancel and it is currently processing. So I actually have no idea how or if my subscription is actually cancelled or not. It also says my next box is scheduled to ship in October, which is weird, because this box shipped in August, so did it just cancel for the month of September? Very confusing, and a bit disappointing because I loved the clothes so much. I also don't think they offer a one-off box, only a subscription. The subscriptions, however can be be scheduled monthly, every other month, or every 3 months.

Questions & Answers on Zirconia(Provided by THE DENTAL ADVISOR)
Q: Does zirconia ceramic degrade in strength intraorally in 5-10 years?
A: Yes, all-ceramic materials degrade in strength over time - some more than others. Zirconia ceramic has an initial flexural strength of over 1200 MPa, so even if it degrades 5-10% or more, it is still significantly stronger than other ceramics.
Q: Does it takes longer to remove a zirconia crown with a bur compared to a PFM crown?
A: Fine diamond burs can cut thru a zirconia crown just as fast as a PFM crown.
Q: Does shading or coloring zirconia ceramic reduce the strength as compared to the uncolored zircona?
A: Weakening of colored zirconia ceramic copings has not been observed.
Q: Is the fit of crowns and bridges based on zirconia copings as good as that of PFM crowns and bridges?
A: Yes, the marginal fit of crowns and bridges fabricated from zirconia copings can be as good or better than PFM crowns and bridges.
Q: Is the fit of a zirconia coping important since the zirconia ceramic is so strong?
A: The thicker the cement the weaker the all-ceramic restoration. Cements are not as rigid as zirconia ceramic, so a thicker cement layer will cause more flexural deformation of a ceramic core, increasing the potential for fracture.
Q: Does silane treatment improve the bond strength of a resin cement to a zirconia coping?
A: No, but the use of Rocatec/Cojet (3M ESPE) does. Silica particles are embedded into the surface of zirconia and then silanated. This treatment can increase the bond strength of a resin cement to a zirconia coping.
Q: Is it ok to grind on a zirconia coping without water spray?
A: Water spray is necessary when grinding on a zirconia ceramic coping. The white light or hot spot you see between a diamond and a zirconia ceramic has been measured at 1500 ºC. If the temperature of zirconia ceramic rises above 1000 ºC, a phase change can occur that will induce cracking and surface defects, lowering the strength of the coping.
Q: Is preparation design of a zirconia coping important since the zirconia ceramic is so strong?
A: Preparation design of the zirconia coping is very important. The thickness of unsupported porcelain should not exceed 2 mm. The zirconia coping should be as thick as needed to avoid unsupported porcelain.
Q: What is zirconia?
A: Zirconia is another name for zirconium dioxide (ZrO2), an oxide of the metal zirconium.
Q: Are there differences among zirconia ceramics?
A: Differences among zirconia ceramics can occur with the level of purity of zirconia; grain size, trace elements and stabilizing compounds; and consistency of formulation. Differences can exist in shrinkage from batch to batch because of differences in the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE).
Q: Zirconia substructures have high flexural strength, 900-1200 MPa, but what is the flexural strength of the zirconia/porcelain system?
A: Flexural strength is typically performed on a three-point bend specimen and is a function of relative thickness of the zirconia and overlaid ceramic, but it would not exceed the flexural strength of the zirconia.
Q: Some clinical studies have shown that there is a weakness in the overlay materials that causes fractures at the marginal ridge areas. How much strength do you really need with zirconia if the overlay materials have less strength that can result in fractures?
A: The fractures are most likely caused by insufficient support of the overlay porcelain in the marginal ridge area. Porcelain is much stronger in compression that in is in tension and shear. If the marginal ridge area isn't built out with sufficient zirconia, it will leave the porcelain in that area unsupported and vulnerable to tensile and shear forces. If the framework is designed in such a way as to provide support for porcelain at the marginal ridge, you won't see as many fractures. Another cause of fracture is internal stress caused by the heating and cooling of the zirconia and porcelain during firing.
Q: What is the best substructure design to provide sufficient support for the proximal overlay ceramics?
A: The overlay porcelain should not be thicker than 1.5 to 2 mm depending on the location and should be adequately supported by the zirconia coping.
Q: What type of porcelain is used for the overlay materials for zirconia copings?
A: There are a number of zirconia-optimized porcelain systems available. Most zirconia ceramics have a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of about 10. Make sure the overlay porcelain has a CTE close to 10. Do not use porcelain intended for PFM.
Q: Do the new feldspathic veneering porcelains for zirconia offer a different (better/worse) bond strength to zirconia substructures?
A: New veneering porcelains for zirconia are formulated to match the coefficient of thermal expansion of the zirconia and to bond to the zirconia coping. Some systems require an initial application of a wash layer.
Q: Are there any testing protocols that a dental laboratory can use to determine that his substructure has been processed to provide maximum strength and durability? If so, what are those protocols?
A: Flexural properties of sintered zirconia specimens can be measured but this test is destructive in nature. It is crucial that the dental laboratory work with a reputable milling center.
Q: What is the difference in strength between pressed-porcelain-to-zirconia versus traditional stacked or layered porcelain-to-zirconia?
A: Both techniques should produce adequate strength if the heating and cooling temperatures encountered during processing do not create adverse thermal gradients that cause residual stresses.
Q: Does the wiggle room of a milled restoration compromise the retention of a crown?
A: The better the fit, the better the retention. Highly retentive zirconia-based crowns can be cemented, whereas poorly fitting crowns should be bonded to tooth structure. Use a self-adhesive resin cement or bonded resin cement for cases with poor retention.
Q: Why use zirconia – is this clinician driven or manufacturer driven?
A: The use of zirconia copings is driven by improved esthetics, biocompatibility, and durability as compared to PFM.
Q: How strong is strong enough when it comes to zirconia?
A: It is important that zirconia-based restorations be stronger initially than PFM due to a small amount of potential deterioration of properties intraorally over time. A zirconia with a flexural strength of 800 MPa should be adequate.
Q: What are the long-term clinical results of using zirconia in the anterior or posterior?
A: THE DENTAL ADVISOR has been monitoring approximately 500 Lava (3M ESPE) restorations over a five-year period with no failures of the zirconia in copings or three- or four-unit bridges.
Q: Where do the fractures of the bonded zirconia restorations compared to the PFM restoration occur?
A: Failures of zirconia-based restorations typically involve chipping or delaminating of the overlaid porcelain. These failures can be minimized by proper design of the zirconia coping to properly support the overlaid ceramic.
Q: What is the connector size for multiple-unit zirconia fixed restorations?
A: A cross section of 9 mm2 is recommended.
Q: How does bonding affect a zirconia restoration?
A: Bonding of zirconia-based restorations can improve retention when additional strength is needed. Use self-adhesive resin cements or bonded resin cements.
Q: What type of bonding material should be used with zirconia-based restorations?
A: Self-adhesive resin cements and bonded resin cements bond well to both tooth structure and zirconia when increased retention is desired. Zirconia can be treated with special primers (Clearfil Ceramic Primer, Kuraray America; Metal-Zirconia Primer, Ivoclar Vivadent) to improve bonding of resin cements to the intaglio surface of the zirconia coping.
Q: How does blasting or grinding affect the zirconia?
A: Sand blasting improves the bond strength of resin cements to the intaglio surface of zirconia-based restorations as does grinding. However, excessive grinding can cause a crystalline transformation of zirconia that can compromise its strength. Water spray during grinding is recommended.
Q: What blasting or grinding procedures are recommended for zirconia?
A: Sandblast the intaglio surfaces with 50-micron aluminum oxide at no more than 30 psi. Grinding should be done with fine or extra-fine diamonds with only light pressure on the area being adjusted and only for a short period of time. Water spray is recommended.
Q: What is a typical fracture rate in zirconia restorations?
A: An typical rate of fracture of zirconia-based restorations is 1 to 2% per year of service.
Q: How many unsupported elements (pontics) can you put side by side in a bridge using zirconia?
A: Maximum span length is typically 88 mm.
Q: Do different zirconia products have different CTEs?
A: Yes, there are variations in coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) among zirconia products as well as among overlay porcelains. Compatible systems must be used.
Q: How strong is a zirconia-based restoration when the substructure has a flexural strength of 1,200 MPa and the surface ceramic has a flexural strength of 110 MPa?
A: Zirconia is stiff. Because it does not bend easily, it helps the weaker overlaid porcelain resist fracture.
Q: What's a closed zirconia milling system and what is the benefit of an open system?
A: Open and closed architectures refer to the way scanners/design stations communicate with the mills and printers. An 'open' system provides a standardized file type and structure that can be understood by other open systems and equipment. A 'closed'-architecture (proprietary) system will only work with equipment that uses the same proprietary file types and structure. Open- architecture systems may provide the ability to use a number of different scanners, mills and printers, perhaps the best one for the desired task. However, if there is a problem with a final output, it may be difficult to track down the source of the problem and obtain assistance in resolving it. With a closed-architecture system, you are relying on one manufacturer for each piece of hardware. They shouldn't have any issues helping the user identify problems. A closed-architecture manufacturer is probably more likely to have brand recognition in their favor and the abilityto provide marketing support. Recently, at least one closed-architecture manufacturer has opened up their system to work with selective other open-architecture products.
Q: With porcelain-fused-to-metal systems, ceramic bonds to the oxide layer on the metal. What does the zirconia veneering ceramic bond to?
A: Usually the overlaid porcelain bonds to a compatible porcelain wash material that is applied to the zirconia first.

Mosquito - Bug of the Month - May
It only makes sense that the introductory "Bug of the Month" for DoomedBugs.com is none other than the mosquito! About 2000 species of mosquitoes exist. Mosquitoes are found in all parts of the world. They have long, thin wings with small bordering scales around the veins of the wings, which allow them to fly better. Their bodies are narrow with long hairy antennae.
The male mosquitoes feed on nectar and water. However, female mosquitoes feed on warm-blooded mammals, especially humans! The females feed on mammals so they can absorb protein from our blood, which allows them to produce their eggs. The female mosquito has a very different mouth than the male; a female mosquito mouth is specially adapted to piercing skin and sucking blood. When a female mosquito bites, it takes blood from its victim and gives its victim some of its salivary fluid. This fluid causes swelling and irritation at the spot of the bite for victims. The female's salivary fluid is the cause of many mosquito-transmitted infectious diseases such as malaria, encephalitis, yellow fever, West Nile, and dengue.
When breeding, female mosquitoes lay their eggs only in water. She may lay over 1000 eggs during her short lifetime of about 3-4 weeks. Some mosquito species prefer the water to be running, while others prefer standing water. Breeding locations range from lakes and swamps to barrels and other unlikely places. All that is required for breeding, is a small amount of water. Mosquito larvae are called wrigglers because of their "wriggling" motions when they are growing in the water.
Mosquitoes prefer warm weather and accessible water sources to lay eggs. The most common mosquito species in the United State is a carrier of deadly encephalitis disease. Malaria transmitting mosquitoes are characterized by organs near the mouth that are as long as the sucking tubes on both the male and female. Another mosquito species, is the Asian Tiger mosquito: introduced into the United States in about 1985 through shipments of tire casings. The Asian Tiger is a voracious biter with a very strong constitution.
Armed with this background information on the mosquito, you should now have a better sense of what you are up against when combating this pesky bug!

SugarBear a.k.a. MonkeyMan or Cyborg now:
Migraines, Type 1, Hashimoto's hypothyroidism, vitiligo, and psoriasis.
Migraines, Type 1, GERD, vitiligo, gastropareisis, bilateral pars defect at L5. There is grade 1 anterolisthesis of L5 on S1 (basically a fracture in his spinal vertebrae that has "slipped", and dysautonomia/P.O.T.s (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome).
Vitiligo, psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, talus coalition, neck vertebrae lipping, double knee replacements, Type 2, diverticulosis, neuropathy. Permanent disability.
Endometriosis, shoulder surgery for rotator cuff, PVCs and PACs (preventricular contractions and preatrial contractions), and four slipped discs.
And I am the healthiest. Although right now one of my discs is not playing nice and I am on a short term leave of absence from work. Hopefully the shots I am having done on the 14th alleviates that issue for me for awhile. I have to function. I have to. I juggle all of the health needs. I do the research. I make the appointments. I keep our life going. The new issues going on with hubby and Drago are causing me concerns. Definitely drama. Drago has dizzy spells where he feels like he is going to pass out not related to his Type 1. He has consistent tachycardia that causes his chest to hurt, palpitations, shortness of breath. His nausea is severe making eating and dosing insulin correctly tricky. He has severe fatigue. He has brain fog that effects his learning. POTs is challenging. We are trying to find a doctor that will help him, that won't say just drink more fluids and have more salt. And hubby-foot pain and swelling from neuropathy. His joints, especially his shoulder, are constantly in severe pain. And me needing more help from all has been a burden. More drama. And woven through all of this mess is Type 1. Lows, highs, pump changes, Dex changes, dosages of insulin. It never rests and doesn't really let us rest either. We need rest. We need fun and outings and friends and life. We don't need drama, we don't want it. We don't go looking for it. But it seems to find us. The day before my shots my husband and I will celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. We've dealt with a lot in twenty years, because it is always something.

Why is socializing in Vancouver so hard?
I am asked this all the time, "Why is dating or even basic socializing so hard?"
Personally as someone who has a tendency to talk to anyone I can't understand it, but that does not mean that everyone talks back. Often I am met with strange looks or people who just ignore me. Why? It is not a marriage proposal or an invitation to sleep with me, it is just a conversation!
Why have Vancouver singles gotten so rigid and down right cold?
I have my theories, here are a few:
Fear of rejection
Social media has created anti social mentality when face to face
We have no game, through lack of face to face practice
We put unrealistic expectations on a conversation, it's just a conversation
Our expectations have gotten far too high
We have become very judgmental
We blame the other party instead of being responsible for taking the initiative
We have become reliant on Online dating and social media to connect, but how many of those people do you actually ever meet?
Online dating has created a throw away mentality
My best friend is an American man and let me tell you, he has game. A few years ago I asked him why American men were so much better at socializing. He told me that there was a plethora of available men in the states, so if they saw someone they were interested in they had to act fast or there would be 30 others there in a flash. I know American and European women always expect the man to take the lead, take charge, be the man! Let's be honest, the ones that don't make the effort don't score with the ladies. So Kudos to all the men that do! Actually never mind, they are already enjoying the benefits! 🙂
Vancouver men say "Vancouver women are unapproachable", that may be true of some women but not the majority. Honestly most Vancouver women want men to make that first move, hey the Americans are cleaning up, so it must work. Ladies please make sure that your welcome mat is out, your smile and eye contact can make or break a mans confidence and intention. So if no one is initiating contact you might want to look at what your demeanor is saying about you. You may not even be aware that you are coming across as standoffish.
"Where is a great place to meet someone?" Anywhere!
But here are a few ideas:
Coffee shops are perfect, just put down your cell phone and talk to the person beside you!
Activities, but make sure men and women actively participate!
The grocery lineup or any place you have to cue up and wait for awhile, what else do you have to do?
Home Depot, Rona, there are lots of men there ladies, you can always ask for help, men love to help!
The seawall, why do you think they got that cute dog?
Keep in mind you still have to attempt that connection, it is not enough to just show up.
"What is a good opening line?" my favorite….. Hello! How are you today? Seriously no need for come on lines and women can usually spot them a mile away.
Socializing is not brain surgery, we just need to take the initiative and remember just do it, with no expectations. Who knows you might be pleasantly surprised at the reaction. It all starts with a smile and a hello!
Now get out there and practice, practice, practice!If you are so shy and you can't do anything else start with a smile, I promise if you give enough away they will start to come back to you!!!!!!

Billy Joel sang the national anthem before Game 3 of the World Series at Citi Field Friday night -- his third Series anthem in New York, at three different stadiums.
Joel, who grew up on Long Island, also sang the anthem before games at Shea Stadium in 1986 and Yankee Stadium in 2000. Those performances did not bode well for the Mets. They lost Game 2 to the Red Sox in 1986, 9-3. They lost Game 1 to the Yankees in 2000, 4-3, in 12 innings.

Krysten Ritter may have been busy bringing Jessica Jones to life, but the actress also found time to write her first novel.
Titled Bonfire, the debut novel is a psychological thriller that will focus on small-town corruption as environmental lawyer Abby Williams returns to her hometown after ten years to investigate Optimal Plastics, a local company, of dumping chemicals in local water. But in the process, Abby starts digging into the years-old disappearance of a former high school bully of hers, which in turn, leads her to an even darker secret about the town.
"As a huge fan of psychological suspense novels, I was so thrilled to take on the challenge of writing my first book," said Ritter in a statement. "This was an exciting opportunity for me to explore a character journey and really get inside the head of my protagonist, a process that has a lot in common with how I prepare to play a role."
The novel will be published by Crown Archetype, and is scheduled for release on Nov. 7.

Krysten On Not Playing 'Jessica Jones' Like A Superhero
"I never played her like a superhero," said Jessica Jones star Krysten Ritter about the troubled, complex Super Hero during the show's panel at Deadline's Contenders Emmys event this morning. "When I was building the character, I felt like if I threw a punch and somebody is going through a wall because of it that was because she was so strong inside. [Her powers] was just an extension of what she really is." She and series creator Melissa Rosenberg were on hand to discuss the critically acclaimed Netflix series, which was renewed for a second season back in January. "We were always approaching the powers as a matter-of-fact. Its simply who she is," Rosenberg told Deadline's Dominic Patten.
The series, which debuted in November, was a critical success particularly for the way it approached such difficult topics as gaslighting, rape, PTSD and the process by which the main character, Marvel's first female superheroic lead, deals with them. Even so, Rosenberg said she didn't Melissa Rosenberg, Krysten Ritter – Jessica Jonesnecessarily boil Jones down to being simply about womanhood. "It didn't feel I was approaching it has a female character… It was really about building a character, not being defined by her gender" but "informed by it."
Ritter said she particularly loved how Jones was "informed… by her past, how vulnerable she is, how strong, how powerful she is. Also she's very cool… there are so many layers for me to play as an actor." Ritter also cited the show's emphasis on character development instead of simple action. "There was so much quiet. Some of my favorite moments are when Jessica is alone at her house and how she relates to a whiskey bottle." Rosenberg, who has worked on multiple platforms from network television to features (the Twilight series and The O.C) gave credit to the Netflix format for those moments. "Its a different perimeter, you're really able to dig into the story you're telling a 13-hour movie esstentially. It opens up the storytelling and there's a lot of story."
NBC Orders Krysten Ritter Series "Mission Control"
Krysten Ritter, of Breaking Bad and Don't Trust the B—- in Apartment 23 fame, is officially returning to television. NBC picked up her comedy Mission Control, in which she'll star as a female engineer facing some old-fashioned sexism in the male-dominated 1960s space program. The show, produced by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay's Gary Sanchez Productions, is expected to have their signature Anchorman vibe.
Krysten Ritter to Star in NBC's Astronaut Comedy
Congrats Krysten!
She'll also be credited as a producer on the single-camera entry from exec producer Will Ferrell.
Krysten Ritter is ready to go to the moon for NBC.
The Don't Trust the B—- in Apartment 23 alum is near a deal to play the starring role in the network's period space comedy Mission Control, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
The workplace ensemble comedy, from executive producer Will Ferrell, is set in 1962 and in the tone of Anchorman. The single-camera comedy examines what happens when a strong woman butts heads with a macho astronaut in the race to land on the moon.
Ritter will star as Mary, the tough girl and head engineer who leads the Apollo team at Mission Control at the NASA Manned Space Center (in 1965). She's a woman in a man's world who is super-smart, brisk without being brusque and immensely capable without losing her feminine appeal. When Tom Stone is brought in to add balance to Mission Control, Mary sees it as a sexist attempt to undercut everything she has done.
avid Hornsby (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia) will pen the script and executive produce the Universal Television comedy alongside Gary Sanchez Productions' Adam McKay and Ferrell. Ritter will also be credited as a producer on the comedy. She joins a cast that also includes Malcolm Barrett and Jonathan Slavin.
Ritter's credits include Tim Burton's Big Eyes, Search Party, Listen Up Philip, Asthma and Rob Thomas' upcoming Veronica Mars feature film, reprising her role from the TV series. She's repped by WME, Sanders Armstrong Caserta Management and Bloom Hergott.
Krysten Ritter To Star In Jake Hoffman Directorial Debut 'Asthma'
EXCLUSIVE: Dustin Hoffman made his directorial debut last year with Quartet and now son Jake Hoffman is helming his first feature. Starring Krysten Ritter and Aussie newcomer Benedict Samuel, Hoffman's Asthma examines the consequences of the live fast, die young mentality in NYC's indie rock scene. Produced by Noah C. Haeussner and executive produced by Michael Raimondi, the Hoffman written film will begin production in the fall. Union Entertainment Group is producing and co-financing, and WME is handling domestic sales. Christine Lahti is also in the indie as is Albert Hammond Jr. of The Strokes playing himself. Benedict Samuel is with WME, Management 360 and United Management in Australia. Lahti is represented by ICM Partners and Management 360. Currently filming the Tim Burton-directed Big Eyes with Christoph Waltz and Amy Adams in film and in the NBC comedy pilot Assistance, former Don't Trust the B—- In Apt 23 star Ritter is repped by WME, The Group Entertainment and Sanders Armstrong Casert. Jake Hoffman is with WME and Generate.

House Budget Chair Diane Black, a Member of Conference Committee on Reconciling House and Senate Tax Reform Bills
Representative Diane Black joined me this morning for the latest on the Conference Committee between House and Senate on the final tax reform bill:
HH: I'm joined now by Representative Diane Black, chairman of the House Budget Committee, a member of the tax reform conference committee whenever it sits. Representative Black, welcome, congratulations. You have two bills that you must put into one bill and do so quickly. How soon will that be done?
DB: Oh, I think we'll get it done tomorrow…not.
HH: Oh, come on. I thought I was going to jump up and down, because if that was the real world, if it was business, you guys would get it done tomorrow.
DB: Amen, amen. I know in our business, we move a lot quicker than they do here in Congress. But we are really delighted that we are where we are today. At least we got something out of the Senate. Look, I don't mean to pick on them. But my goodness, it just seems like they, it takes forever for them to get a decision made. So we at least are at this point where we can begin combining the two bills and taking the best pieces out of each one of them.
HH: Let me begin with the business interest deduction, Chairman Black. This matters a great deal to a lot of businesses that borrowed to expand over the last ten years. The House was better than the Senate, but neither are good enough. Is that top on your list for addressing with your Senate colleagues, getting the business interest deduction back to where it is robust and works for businesses?
DB: Yeah, we know that this is a concern, because we put our bill out there, of course, several weeks ago. And we've been listening to the various industries. I will say Kevin Brady and their staff there in their office have been taking a lot of calls, as have all of us with meetings, and listening to how what we've put out there is going to affect businesses. We all know that when businesses do well, that they have, there's an opportunity for the economy to grow. And we, look at what's happening in the markets just with the anticipation of the economic growth. So we want to be sure that we get there. Now you know, Hugh, that any time you adjust one thing, there's a dial on the other side that needs to be adjusted. So we always have to remember what our main point was when we started this out, to have something fairer, flatter and simpler. And there are going to be some changes that will need to be made, and we'll all work together to make sure that we don't harm businesses, but that we do lower those taxes in that focus that we wanted, right there in the middle income, give them the greatest tax relief.
HH: If I can put one bug in your ear, Chairman Black, it's that I would rather see a corporate tax rate of 21 or 22% than the elimination of the business interest deduction, because I think you will bankrupt a lot of hard-working businesses who borrowed to expand in reliance upon the ability to deduct their interest from the borrowing, and that therefore I'd rather see everyone pay a little bit more on the corporate side than to shut down some businesses that relied on that. But let me ask you about calendar, and very seriously, I do, I believe stuff happens. I remember Jim Jeffords switching parties. I remember the sad case of Senator Heinz dying in a plane crash. I just remember stuff. And therefore, I am not ambivalent about speed. I think you folks need to buckle down and get this done this week. What is the urgency level in the Congress?
DB: You are exactly right, and I think the faster that we can get this done, we really don't have that many things that are that terribly different. But they are different, and so there, as you know, and have been watching this in the Senate, in order for them to be able to get the votes, they've had to do some things that we don't like in the House. We like permanency, and they do some things over on their side that I don't believe give the businesses and the economy the kind of certainty that they need. So that may be one of the biggest things, is that we have more certainty in our bill than they do, but we're going to try to take the best out of each bill and come out of this as quickly as we can. It's good for the American people if we can get this done quickly.
HH: I've gotten a lot of emails from grad students. I mean, there are a legion of grad students out there who are concerned that they're suddenly going to be hit with a great deal of income that is phantom income. It's just tuition that they are not charged. What is going to be the compromise on the grad student elimination of their non-claiming of income, Chairman Black?
DB: Yeah, we're hearing a lot from people on that. Our office is really flooded when we put our form out there. And we are listening to what they have to say. I was at a couple of events in my district where the grad students showed up and actually, I asked them bring your information to me. Let's go over it. I want to put it on paper. I want to see. So that is one of the areas that we've heard a lot. Everybody is hearing a lot, and we are going to have to look at that to see what we can do to even that out.
HH: So you are sympathetic to their arguments though?
DB: We are. We are.
HH: All right. Let me ask you, Senator Inhofe offered an amendment based upon an idea I proposed, which was to allow a one-time deduction from people's retirement income of up to 25%, tax it at a flat rate of 10%, not the ordinary income plus a penalty. That would raise tens of billions of dollars, if not hundreds of billions of dollars, for the revenue side, and it would allow people to use their withdrawal to fund their mortgage reduction because of the HMI changes. Any chance of that making it in? Has the House even discussed that? It's an easy revenue source that makes everybody happy – home builders, realtors, retirees, people with mortgages. Has that been discussed, yet, in the House?
DB: It has not been discussed in the House, but we know that that was something that was discussed in the Senate. It may be on the table. I couldn't speak to that with certainty, but I think it is an idea worth looking at.
HH: I really, I think it just raises hundreds of billions of dollars, and everybody jumps up and down. Everyone I talked to with retirement assets would immediate take 25% of their retirement out, pay the 10% penalty, or the 10% tax to the federal government…
DB: Tax.
HH: …and then reduce their mortgage. Let me ask you, then, about the big difference – number of brackets and the death tax. What does Diane Black think about those two issues?
DB: Well, you'll remember when we went into this, we had the fairer, flatter, simpler motto that we all talked about. And so that was really what we were trying to do, was condensing these brackets. We, on our side, do believe that's still what we should be doing, is condensing them. Now we did widen the brackets as far as the income levels in each one of those brackets. And the bracket allowed those lower incomes to go to the next lowest bracket. So we like what we did. I do think this is one that we're probably going to push pretty hard to keep, because otherwise, you have a lot of cliffs. When you have these numbers, these seven different bracket and the closeness that they are, you have a lot of cliffs that people get on. So then they, you know, $15 dollars over what that last bracket was, you're put into the next bracket up for just a small amount of money. And we were trying to get rid of those cliffs. This brings those cliffs back.
HH: So I hope you prevail on that. On the death tax, I'm more with the Senate than with the Houses, because I fear concentration of wealth at too great a number. But I think there's a compromise there somewhere, isn't there?
DB: Well, I will tell you that it just seems so unfair, and this is a conservative idea that I believe in, and we have talked about for years, that when people pay taxes on those dollars, and they earn that money, that when someone dies, you shouldn't tax it again. You shouldn't take away what they have worked so hard. And that is sort of the American dream is you work hard and you pay taxes on it the first time. You shouldn't have to pay taxes on it again. So we like what we did in the House, and I think that is going to be one of the areas that we're going to try to stick with what we did in the House.
HH: Now one of your colleagues, and she is estimable, the former speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, now the minority leader, and I give her a lot of respect for hanging in there all these years. She was on Meet the Press with me this weekend. But she said yesterday, it's the end of the world, this tax bill. "This is Armageddon." What do you say to your old colleague when you see her using that kind of rhetoric?
DB: You know, it's so hard for me to have someone who is so respected and the leader of their party to use this kind of language. We can have a good debate. We can have differences. But really? To tell the American people this is Armageddon, I think it's irresponsible. I really do. You can talk about the differences. You can talk about where you think this might hurt a certain group of people of certain income levels, but to say that somehow it's Armageddon, that the country is going to just dissolve because of this? I just think that's irresponsible language.
HH: Will you seek her out and have a chat with her about this, because I know you two must have been friendly over the years. You're a senior Republican lawmaker and chairman of Budget, and a woman, and she's the highest-ranking woman ever to serve in the Congress. You two ought to be able to talk to each other.
DB: You know, I wish that I could say that we have that kind of relationship, and I did try some seven years ago when I first came to Congress to have that relationship with her. Unfortunately, I don't. However, I will tell you there are a number of women on the other side of the aisle that I have regular conversations with, and that we can have good dialogue without having some kind of Armageddon-type of language that goes out there. And I do have excellent conversations and relationships with my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, both male and female. And we have good conversations within our Ways and Means Committee. It's just a shame that that's what we've come to.
HH: 30 seconds left, Chairman Black. When will we see a final tax bill on the President's desk? What's the latest date by which it will get to the President's desk?
DB: Well, we have committed that we will get it there by Christmas, but I certainly hope we move a lot faster than that. Again, we have some differences, but I think we can get those differences ironed out. And if we have to spend day and night doing it, I think we should do it. Get it on the President's desk as soon as possible.
HH: Day and night, Chairman Black, and remember the 25% withdrawal of retirement assets at the 10% tax solves all your problems.
End of interview.

A search operation got under way today in a forest in France for the body of one of Northern Ireland's Disappeared.
Seamus Ruddy, a teacher from Newry, Co Down, was abducted from Paris, murdered and secretly buried by republican paramilitary group the INLA in 1985.
His body, thought to have been buried in a forest in northern France, has never been found.
A fresh search for his remains began today in a forest at Pont-de-l'Arche outside Rouen, the commission set up to locate victims' remains has confirmed.
The Disappeared are those who were abducted, murdered and secretly buried by republicans during Northern Ireland's Troubles.
Searches have been carried out by the Independent Commission for the Location of Victims' Remains (ICLVR), which was set up to recover the bodies of those murdered and secretly buried, mainly by the IRA, in the 1970s and 1980s.
There have been three previous searches in the forest area for Mr Ruddy, the most recent by the ICLVR in 2008.
A team of searchers from the ICLVR travelled from Ireland to France over the weekend to prepare for the search.
Geoff Knupfer, the former police officer leading the hunt, said he was satisfied the information received by the ICLVR about the location of Mr Ruddy's remains is "as accurate as it can be given the passage of time".
Barry Cummins: Ruddy body search follows new information after failed searches
Mr Knupfer also headed the team that found Disappeared victims Brendan Megraw in 2014 and Kevin McKee and Seamus Wright in 2015.
"I am convinced that there is a genuine desire on the part of those supplying the information to get this resolved by finding where Seamus is buried," said Mr Knupfer.
He added: "As in other cases fresh information that refines what we already know is crucial. Everyone we have found to date has been in the area where we were told that they were.
"It is always a question of narrowing that down to a precise location. I really hope that we can do this again and find him."
Mr Ruddy's sister Anne Morgan said: "Seamus disappeared almost exactly 32 years ago on 9 May 1985.
She said: "All we can do is what we have been doing over these long years since which is to pray that one day he'll be found. Hopefully that day will come as a result of this search.
"All we want is to bring Seamus home to Monk's Hill to be buried with our mother and father."
Despite extensive and painstaking searches, the bodies of four out of 16 people listed by the commission set up to locate victims' remains have never been found.
In addition to Seamus Ruddy, the remains of Columba McVeigh, Joe Lynskey and British Army Captain Robert Nairac have yet to be recovered.
Speaking to RTÉ's News at One, Mr Knupfer said he hoped a new documentary on Captain Nairic to be aired on RTÉ Prime Time tonight (RTÉ One 9.35pm) will encourage people to come forward.
He urged anyone with information about his abduction from a pub in Armagh 40 years ago, to come forward saying he was "absolutely certain" someone knew where his body was buried.
The commission has asked anyone with information to contact them in complete confidence on 00800 555 85500, by writing to ICLVR, PO Box 10827, Dublin 2, or via iclvr.ie.

I try not to make clients cry. I'm serious. Most of the time people come to work with me so burdened by their heavy load of shame and their money-baggage, that I'm generally flitting about, keeping things light, gently waving away cobwebs so we can see clearly the landscape of their business. This generally works great. As a client wrote recently, "Ariane's the quiet, yet necessary truth. Her calm demeanor gently nudges you to where you need to be."
The calm gentleness is deliberate. Most of the time people come to me already having shed tears,
feeling frustrated, isolated, but finally, done with feeling bad, ready to feel better.
So yeah, no more tears. That's my policy.
Except here's the deal. This money work is DEEP.
'Cause yeah, we're cleaning up your books, we're improving your pricing, we're getting you actually PAID and a profit set by. AND, fundamentally, we're tackling that money story that you brought from your personal life into your business. THAT.
That shit is DEEP.
There's a point, after the initial flitting and cajoling and wand-waving, when things Get Real, you
know. That point when there's no more convenient mist hiding the numbers from our ken, when we can finally face them. When we join hands and prepare to take a long look. This is generally the point where new clients start dodging my emails. Where they start serially re-scheduling. Because it suddenly feels a little LOT less fun. I given them the heads-up ahead of time, because I know it's coming: you know, you'll want to avoid me. I totally get it. It's not personal. It's
just a normal part of the process.
Because this stuff is hard. We start out on this one level – sometimes it's remediation, sometimes it's forensic – and then the inquiry keeps going. We start out innocently enough wanting to understand What Does This Balance Sheet Thing in my Business Mean Anyway? Am I really making any money after all this Hustle? and land in, oh crap, do we think we actually deserve things? Do we think we actually get to have money?
Here's what can happen when we do the hard work, when we're willing to go that deep.
A CEO is born.
Sometimes, if I'm lucky, I get to see a CEO be born, someone for whom that light bulb has just sparked on, who suddenly sees, Hang on, I CAN do this. This shit that scared me, that I hid from, it's actually a source of strength. I. Got. This.
And sometimes that birth is accompanied by tears. Like I said, this work is deep.
Recently a newish client with whom I'd only been working for two months, hit that point. She'd been struggling for so long, that lo, struggle seemed like her lot. [And you know how I feel about that.] But then, through her own concerted effort: money in the bank, for the first time. Enough to pay bills. Enough to pay down debt. Enough to choose. Enough. And wow, that enough was so new, so different, that yes, tears. Tears and then: her standing tall in CEO shoes.
That moment: I live for that.
That may be the whole point of everything I do, to help facilitate that passage, from fear to power, from shame to confidence. Seriously, best thing ever.
All I want for you is for you to fully step into those CEO shoes, stomp around, make your mark.
Here's to tackling whatever is holding you back. Here's to getting born.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) -- It's a workout that pushes athletes to the limit. CrossFit is sweeping the nation with its high intensity programming and interval training.
A Tallahassee athlete is headed to the sport's biggest stage for the very first time. The athletes at Red Hills CrossFit strive for greatness, but there's one whose journey began long before the stop clock started.
Four years ago, Jenna Larson walked into Red Hills CrossFit with a plan.
"I told the head coach, 'I want to go to the games,'" Larson said.
But the coaches weren't always convinced.
"I laughed at her. I was like, 'Yeah, OK, you'll make it to the games someday," said Co-Owner of Red Hills CrossFit, Travis Perkins. "For me, it's nothing but pride and feeling lucky to be part of the journey she's been on,"
Now, at 38 years-old, Larson's dream has become a reality. She's one of hundreds of thousands of athletes who competed for a top spot in the masters division at the CrossFit Games.
"From that point, that's kind of been my goal, just pushing forward and training to be a better version of myself," Larson said.
But it hasn't always been easy. During the CrossFit Open last spring, Jenna got sick.
"Diagnosed with shingles the first week and then severe respiratory infection after that," Larson said.
Larson was worried her illnesses would set her back.
"I literally struggled through every week and just knew with my faith, I wasn't going to give up," Larson said.
But, she still came out on top.
"The work that she did, that she puts in, speaks volumes to her, anybody around her, and her kids," Perkins said.
Larson said her biggest motivation is her two sons.
"They're going to see me struggle, they're going to see me fail, but they will never see me give up," Larson said.
Jenna's teammates said she inspires them, pushing everyone to their limits and never letting them quit.
"She's shown me as a woman that it's OK to continue to dream," Jenna's friend and teammate, Tonya Windham said.
Larson is proving that with a little legwork, nothing can weigh you down.
Jenna is one of two Tallahassee athletes heading to the Games, which kick off August 3 in Madison, Wisconsin.

Godaddy is the world's prominent Domain Registration and Web Hosting Company serving some thousands of customers.
After taking a year off, Scottsdale grounded GoDaddy Inc. publicized Thursday it will make its 12th Super Bowl commercial for the February game.
Initially, the 30-second advertisement will concentrate on a new, yet-to-be-released product, as an alternative of the GoDaddy brand. The advertisement will look in the first half of the Super Bowl.
The commercial Godaddy Web Hosting will launch a longer-term movement, and endure to use humor to uphold a new product.
GoDaddy (NYSE: GDDY) is not enlightening the commercial's narrative for its 20th anniversary, though a declaration said the "movement plays to the ethnic and commercial influence of the Internet by way of iconic images and hilarity."
GoDaddy will also recover its "see more online" digital marketing move to drive audiences to the GoDaddy website through the Super Bowl program, said GoDaddy Chief Marketing Colonel Barb Rechterman.
"Driving spectators to the website with a digital leeway is a method we have been using for several years, but the mode we involve viewers with the 2017 digital extension won't look something like what you have grasped from us in the past," Rechterman told in a declaration. "This is more than an easy brand play. This year, we are going to take spectators on an amusing ride that engrosses them around our newest product."
The 2016 Super Bowl was the first time ever since 2005 the domain name registration company decided not to promote in the big game.
In the month of February 2015, the business had received violence from animal rights campaigners for its Super Bowl commercial, which was substituted with a quick do-over to mollify the crowds.
GoDaddy (NYSE: GDDY) has crooked to humor for its adverts since CEO Blake Irving had taken over from creator Bob Parsons in 2013. GDDY had used to be identified for its risqué ads with scantily-clad females.
The Super Bowl commercial will be taken in initial January by Bullish Inc., the New York-based brand agency GDDY is currently working with.
"There is no other business in the world that has both the technical prowess and voracious client focus as GoDaddy," Bullish Managing Partner Brent Vartan said in a declaration. "We are exceptionally happy to help the brand appearance at the Super Bowl … and the numerous product stories to trail … in a diverse manner in GoDaddy's mission to help individuals pursue fruitful, self-governing ventures."

Mordane is the septa at Winterfell and tutor to the daughters of House Stark. She accompanies the household to King's Landing to continue the girls's studies. She is killed by House Lannister men-at-arms following the arrest of Lord Eddard Stark for treason.
Mordane is a septa, a woman taking holy vows of devotion and chastity, of the Faith of the Seven. She serves at the sept in Winterfell. Her secondary duties involve tutoring Sansa and Arya Stark in needlework, embroidery, singing and other ladylike duties.
Septa Mordane tutors Arya and Sansa in needlework. She compliments Sansa on the skill of her work, but doesn't remark on Arya's grudging efforts. Mordane accompanies Arya and Sansa to King's Landing and dines with them. She is present at the meal when Arya threatens to kill Joffrey Baratheon for his actions on the Kingsroad and reports this to her father. When Sansa is disdainful of the doll which Eddard Stark gives her and asks to be excused, it is to Septa Mordane that he says, "War was easier than daughters". Mordane shows Sansa the throne room as part of Sansa's tutoring on the history of the Seven Kingdoms. Sansa is concerned over what will happen if she has no sons, only daughters, a concern that Mordane dismisses as highly unlikely.
Mordane accompanies Arya and Sansa to the Hand's tournament and is present when Littlefinger explains the background of his nickname to Arya. Mordane chaperones Sansa when Joffrey meets her to apologize for his behavior on the Kingsroad.
She appears to not be as approving of Joffrey as she once was, but Sansa doesn't notice. Sansa is being rude to Septa Mordane (likely due to Cersei's example being a bad influence).
After the failed attempt by Sansa's father to remove Joffrey from the Iron Throne following King Robert's death, Mordane hears combat in the courtyard at the Red Keep. Fearing the worst she orders Sansa to run to her room and bar the door to anyone she does not know. After Sansa leaves, Mordane is confronted by several Lannister soldiers.
After the North rises in rebellion, Joffrey takes Sansa to the Traitors' Walk and forces her to gaze at her father's head on a spike. He also reveals that he needlessly had Mordane beheaded, and her head placed on a spike next to her father's.
Septa Mordane served as a tutor to the girls at Winterfell and traveled with them to Kings Landing when Ned Stark was named Hand of the King. After Ned was accused of treason, Lannister soldiers killed Septa Mordane while she was trying to protect Sansa Stark.
