For both clinicians and their clients there is tremendous value in understanding the psychophysiology of trauma and knowing what to do about its manifestations. This book illuminates that physiology, shining a bright light on the impact of trauma on the body and the phenomenon of somatic memory.
It is now thought that people who have been traumatized hold an implicit memory of traumatic events in their brains and bodies. That memory is often expressed in the symptomatology of posttraumatic stress disorder—nightmares, flashbacks, startle responses, and dissociative behaviors. In essence, the body of the traumatized individual refuses to be ignored.
While reducing the chasm between scientific theory and clinical practice and bridging the gap between talk therapy and body therapy, Rothschild presents principles and non-touch techniques for giving the body its due. With an eye to its relevance for clinicians, she consolidates current knowledge about the psychobiology of the stress response both in normally challenging situations and during extreme and prolonged trauma. This gives clinicians from all disciplines a foundation for speculating about the origins of their clients' symptoms and incorporating regard for the body into their practice. The somatic techniques are chosen with an eye to making trauma therapy safer while increasing mind-body integration.
Packed with engaging case studies, The Body Remembers integrates body and mind in the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder. It will appeal to clinicians, researchers, students, and general readers. -- from the publisher
Advance Acclaim'While mental health sciences continue to make important discoveries on the psychophysiology of psychological trauma, there are hardly any works that discuss the implications of those findings for the treatment of trauma survivors. In The Body Remembers, Babette Rothschild beautifully succeeds in bridging this gap. She not only provides a clear window on this very important subject, but also presents a highly practical integration of the psychophysiology of trauma and the ways in which clinicians may assist trauma survivors to resolve the effects of overwhelming experience on mind and body. She presents many fine, brief vignettes, and clearly demonstrates the extra value of treatment interventions at the sensorimotor level.' Onno van der Hart, Ph.D. Professor in the Department of Clinical Psychology Utrecht University, The Netherlands
'The new paradigm in traumatology is the incorporation of theories built upon recent findings in neurobiology. After reviewing these findings, Rothschild introduces a thorough approach to helping the traumatized. A tribute to van der Kolk's view of the 'body keeps the score,' this book is the first to combine with consistency theory, research, and practice in enabling the traumatized to have hope, recover their balance, and avoid medical maladies resulting from chronic traumatic stress.' -- Charles R. Figley, Ph.D. Director and Professor Florida State University Traumatology Institute
'This book fulfills its major goal - to build a bridge between the practice of traditional verbal trauma therapy and body-oriented therapies. It demonstrates how the body is a resource in the treatment of PTSD. This text does an admirable job of combining the theory of how the mind and body process, record, and remember traumatic events (presented in an easily understandable format) with practice strategies to help both body and mind. As Rothschild notes, PTSD is a 'disorder of memory gone awry' that must be treated phenomenologically in a boundaried, anchored, safe internal and external setting to unite implicit and explicit memories. This book is a 'must' for the professional's library!' -- Mary Beth Williams, Ph.D., LCSW, CTS Past President, Association for Traumatic Stress Specialists

Tiger 10/1 To End Wait For More Major Honours At The 2013 US Open
Irish bookmaker, Paddy Power, are offering a stand out 10/1 that he will emerge victorious on Sunday evening
After winning 14 majors in the space of 11 years, it is now a staggering five years since Tiger Woods last got his hands on one of golf's four most prestigious honours.
It was in fact the 2008 US Open that last provided the stage for Woods to edge closer to Jack Nicklaus' 18 major titles record and anybody back then would have predicted that Tiger would have long eclipsed that benchmark to become decorated player in the sport's history books by 2013.
However, problems away from the course; in his private life and through injury, saw Woods lose his way but he has shown that he is close to being back to his best so far this year. Four victories on the PGA Tour, together with a fourth place finish in the first major of the year, the US Masters, at Augusta in April, provide sufficient evidence to suggest that major number 15 may just be around the corner and the 2013 US Open could just be that event!
The second major of the year gets underway on Thursday 13th June at the Merion Golf Club, Pennsylvania, and Tiger is the clear favourite with all bookmakers bar one to end his five year major drought. Odds about Woods winning the US Open are generally around a 6/1 chance, however, Irish bookmaker, Paddy Power, are offering a stand out 10/1 that he will emerge victorious on Sunday evening.
The exclusive offer is available only to new customers registering with Paddy Power using the following promotional link where you will be able to bet a maximum of £20/€20 on the special and read the other terms and conditions. In addition to claiming the enhanced odds, anybody registering today will receive up to £250 in free bets.
If you don't think Tiger is going to win but still fancy a flutter on the action from across the Atlantic, visit http://www.betting-directory.com/golf/us-open.php for a full preview of this week's action.

Structured Settlements: Policy Limits
Fifth in a series of blog posts dedicated to helping clients decide when a structured settlement should be considered.
Today's Installment: Policy Limits
May 17, 2019 – People and businesses buy liability insurance to protect against personal or corporate financial loss when lawsuits are brought against them.
Resolving lawsuits can be problematic enough under the best of circumstances. But when accidents are severe enough and/or the liability limits too low to adequately compensate the plaintiff for their loss, the challenge is magnified.
Structured settlements can play a vital role in those situations where the accepted value of the case exceeds the policy limits.
Enhanced Value at No Additional Cost
For starters, structured settlements increase the overall value of a personal injury settlement at no additional cost by increasing the total payout on a tax-advantaged basis.
Structured settlement payments flow tax-free to the plaintiff if damages are on account of personal, physical injury or sickness and tax-deferred if the alleged injuries are non-physical in nature.
Lawsuits anticipating recovery for future wage loss, future medical care or future pain and suffering are ideal candidates for structured settlements. By tying the demand to the payout in future terms instead of its present value, payments made over time better address the plaintiff's concerns.
Insured Protection
Insurance which exists to compensate victims for covered losses can prove inadequate once the limits are exhausted. Absent a sufficient umbrella policy, an insured's personal or business assets often become exposed.
It's conceivable that a policy limits case can be structured in such a way that attorney fees, liens and the plaintiff's immediate cash needs are met up front, with the remainder paid out over time on a tax-advantaged basis.
Example: A $1,000,000 policy limits case might be structured with $500,000 paid up front while the other $500,000 is used to generate $1,000,000 over time. In this instance, the $1,000,000 limits case becomes a settlement worth $1,500,000 with added tax benefits.
As a practical matter, most litigants aren't eager to force the defendant to contribute personally to the settlement (though there are definitely notable exceptions) if only because of the additional layers of difficulty involved. The defendant may have to sell property or could even file for bankruptcy to avoid responsibility which increases the risk a plaintiff assumes when pursuing compensation exceeding policy limits.
For the insurer, protecting their policyholder is high on the list of duties owed when evaluating the claim value.
Caveat: Defendants need to respond to policy limits demands very carefully. In some states, a response to a policy limits demand which could be interpreted as a counteroffer can uncap the policy forcing the defense carrier to pay beyond its policy limit.
If the defense wishes to make a structured settlement available in response to an otherwise acceptable policy limits demand (i.e. say the demand is for the $100,000 policy limit when the obvious damage exceeds ten times that amount), it should be clearly indicated that the policy limit demand is accepted.
Good Faith
Sometimes the plaintiff files an uninsured or underinsured motorist claim against their own insurance company. In these situations when the policy limits are going to be paid, it's simply good business to make a structured settlement option available. It allows the plaintiff (who is also the carrier's insured) to take advantage of one of the best settlement options available.
Insurance carriers who make them available to their customers can receive "free PR" for their efforts when their policyholders are made aware of the many positive attributes structured settlement contain.
Satisfied clients talk. As do unhappy ones. Passing along an opportunity to gain something of greater value when they are under no legal obligation to do so speaks volumes about the company providing the insurance and the attorney representing the plaintiff.
More Money This Way
Structured settlements allow litigants to resolve their differences within insurance policy limits while providing enhanced value which exceeds those limits.
Plaintiffs whose immediate needs are too great may not be able to take advantage of this opportunity. But for those whose complaint includes future needs, a structured settlement is always going to be a smart choice.
No reason to deny someone such an excellent opportunity whenever a policy limit claim is being negotiated.

Freshly minted: Battle of the mint polishes
When it comes to spring nail colours, pastels rule. And when it comes to pastels, mint shades will forever be my fave to rock.
So this brings me to today's post. No matter how many pinks you have or purples or blues, you'll forever have a favourite. Whether it's the perfect shade, the perfect texture, the perfect brush or the longevity of the polish, there's one shade that sticks out (for pinks, it's OPI Mod About You). When it comes to mints, my forever favourite was Essie's Mint Candy Apple, an iconic cult-worthy mint shade that bears some resemblance to Tiffany blue (swoon). But then OPI introduced a heart-stopping mint shade in their Hawaii collection and that changed everything.
That's Hula-rious is hands-down my fave from the spring 2015 Hawaii collection and a gorgeous mint creme polish. This guys leans more towards the greener spectrum of the mint shades (whereas Essie's Mint Candy Apple is more blue), but it's certainly been a toss up in which mint to wear (#firstworldproblems).
Is this corner we have Essie's Mint Candy, an opaque Tiffany-blue mint which is so refreshing. It's like Listerine for your nails. It's clean, fresh, and perfect for any function (think baby shower, wedding shower, heck even a wedding). It's one of those shades that is so basic, but one that you can wear anywhere. The only downside is that I'm personally not a huge fan of Essie's brush and the longevity of their polishes aren't the greatest on my nails. This one though is a staple for any collection.
Overall, I do find OPI's formula and brush to be better than Essies. Their lacquers last longer on my nails and that ProWide brush does a better job of painting on the colour. Although both shades are technically classified as a mint, they are different. OPI's That's Hula-rious! is more of an Easter-egg mint green, making is more season appropriate, whereas I find Mint Candy Apple can be worn really any time of the year. To be honest, it would be really tough choosing a favourite between the two since they are on different spectrums of the mint wheel.
Essie's Mint Candy Apple is part of their regular line, whereas That's Hula-rious is limited edition… for now. I feel like a shade like this one though would be something they would keep on in their permanent collection.
Do you have a favourite mint polish?

Ladies Lounge: F is for Feminism
October 16, 2019 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm UTC+0
Bobbie Carlton
In 2019, women are still battling for rights, including equal pay and opportunities in business, amongst countless other gender-specific issues. Even in the most progressive of cities there are still barriers for women to overcome. Progress is not just created by policy change. Women are inspiring change through entrepreneurship, women's organizations, empowerment, and leadership within large companies. They are taking charge of their lives, in what they believe in, in pursuit of a more equal and progressive world.
Join us for a conversation on feminism – its roots, how it is evolving, where it is going, and how it continues to create a powerful impact on society.

Music and Arts Partners held a beautiful fundraising event at the McLean House in memory of founding board member Lynne Detrick. Thank you to all who attended, the students who performed and Pam Banning of One Hope Wine.
Story by Patrick Malee for the West Linn Tidings. Published Nov. 24, 2017.
There was a mixture of hope and sadness in the air at West Linn's historic McLean House Nov. 11, as the Music and Arts Partners (MAP) organization held a special event to honor founding board member Lynne Detrick and introduce the new Lynne Detrick Memorial Instrument Fund.
Detrick died of cancer in December 2016, and the new fund was set up to honor the work she did on behalf of MAP. The nonprofit organization, which was founded in 1997, has raised more than $1 million over the years to cover funding gaps in the West Linn-Wilsonville School District's art and music programs.
The Lynne Detrick fund — for which about $11,500 has been raised thus far — will focus specifically on purchasing, replacing and repairing musical instruments across the district.
"The instrument need in our district is high due to the growing number of students who participate in instrumental programs, and (the number of) instruments which are not rentable," said MAP board member Beverly Herbert. "The district cannot provide enough larger instruments, especially, to students in need, so the fund will help expand the inventory of instruments to meet the needs of students, and also covers repair costs."
The hope is to eventually raise a total of at least $100,000 and establish an endowment fund — something Herbert calls a "long-term goal."
"(When the fund is set up) we will be communicating with instrument teachers, who will apply as needed for instrument needs," Herbert said. "And then a committee will approve funding of each instrument on a case-by-case basis."
Orchestra groups from Rosemont Ridge and Meridian Creek middle schools performed at the McLean House event, which was attended by West Linn-Wilsonville School District Superintendent Kathy Ludwig and school board members Ginger Fitch and Dylan Hydes.
Detrick's son Douglas — a 2002 West Linn High School graduate — also performed original songs on the banjo to honor his family.
"The event was not just about raising money for the instrument fund — it was also about educating the community about what MAP does for West Linn-Wilsonville schools' music and arts," Herbert said. "We're trying to increase membership."
To learn more or donate to the fund, visit www.musicandartspartners.org/lynne-detrick-memorial-instrument-fund/. Until Dec. 1, you can also donate by ordering wine from the One Hope Foundation — the charitable arm of Mondavi Vineyards — at secure.viaonehope.com/parties/17863. A percentage of sales will go to the fund.

text: wcw: at home with irene lee by Krystal Bick June 7, 2017 Through the years, I've acquired a small handful of close girlfriends who have seen me through what I like to call my many previous lives. And Irene Lee, is perhaps chief among them. I still remember when I first met Irene on my first day of work at this scrappy tech start up in San Mateo. I was fresh out of college, new to the Bay Area and still getting used to what it meant to have a big girl salary. Needless to say, I was feeling a bit wide-eyed about it all. And there was Irene — the cool, older sister I never had (even though I do have a rad and wickedly smart younger sister) — showing me the ropes, i.e. telling me where the good snacks were hidden in the office kitchen, pointing out which engineer would likely make my feature requests the fastest if I asked nicely and pointing out which neighborhoods to avoid at all costs when hunting for my first SF apartment (answer: the Tenderloin, although word on the street is that this area is trendy now?). Over the years, we moved from start up, to Google together, I went to her wedding in Hawaii (which you may recall here) and I worked pretty closely with her on a lot of our marketing photo shoots while she was pregnant with her first child, Sebastian. All the while, we'd be scheming about the day we could say goodbye to corporate life and jump into our respective creative endeavors. No matter how discouraged or busy we both got, I always loved that we shared this camaraderie — a commitment to pushing each other forward and to not be afraid of the leap. Well, as of earlier this year, Irene took that leap, officially launching her first designed and produced children's clothing line, Bash + Sass. As her friend, I'm incredibly proud. As a fellow entrepreneur, I'm inspired. Which is why I wanted to share her with you all today as today's Woman Crush. Hope you enjoy! We've known each other for years, haven't we? And in our previous lives both working very corporate jobs at Google, we daydreamed about the day we could pursue our creative passions. Where along the way did you cook up the concept for Bash + Sass? Yes, we go way back to 2010! It feels like it's been such a long journey to finally get here! All along the way, you've been an amazing inspiration and reminder to pursue my passions and see my dreams through. Thank you so much for always being such a huge supporter and encouraging me. I've always known that I wanted to start a line of my own, especially having worked in the fashion industry as a graphic designer and Creative Director prior to Google. It wasn't until I had my first child, Sebastian (aka Bash) that actually doing this seemed a reality. I've always been a fan of modern, clean and minimalist design. This holds true to how I dress myself but I had a hard time finding baby/kids apparel that reflected this style. I ended up buying overseas brands that fit this aesthetic and paying more for shipping than the actual pieces themselves. Ahhhh! There was definitely a hole in the market for this need. That's when it clicked and I thought, "What am I doing? Why not just make what I want for Bash myself? Surely there must be other parents out there who are looking for something similar." So! Tell us about Bash! The main man inspiration! How does he and little Isa (your newest addition) influence the line? Oh my Bash. This little nutbag is silly dancing and singing at the top of his tiny lungs one minute, then asking to snuggle and cupping my face the next. He is a ball of happy crazy most of the time but boy are the threenager-isms are starting to come out! Bash is a pop of fun — which is a concept I directly translated into my line. With neutral-colored fabrics, (the first collection is monochrome) I wanted to add a pop of fun and color in the mix. That's how the idea of creating new monsters for each collection was born. Kids clothing can be modern and minimalist but why not fun too, right? The first monster is named "Babu." Babu is a game that Bash made up when he could run but barely speak. He would shout "Babu! Babu!" then chase his dad around in circles until he fell over laughing or got too dizzy … whichever came first. 😉 With the recent birth of my daughter, Isa, my design-thinking for the next collection is evolving more. I will still create gender-neutral, modern and edgy basics but can see these ideas and details working for a simple dress or skirt now too. It's fun, inspiring and amazing having both a boy and a girl. Isa, who is now 7 months, is really starting to show more of her personality. She's usually quite calm (thank god) but definitely flicks on the sassy switch when she wants something or get hangry. I'm really excited to learn more about both of them as they grow and fold in their personalities into future clothing designs and monsters. You've worn many hats before taking on this role. Can you tell me a bit about how your previous jobs have prepared you for finally taking the plunge to start your own business? I've always worked in a startup environment. For better or for worse, it's taught me that wearing multiple hats is not only normal, it's critical. With a background in graphic design, my first stint in the fashion world was working for a luxury leather handbag and shoe company in New York. I handled all of their branding, marketing and graphic design needs. Sometimes we dipped into getting some SEO freelancer help when it came to pushing the website, but otherwise it was all us. We were a team of five that shared a small space on the 38th floor in the Garment District where everything was made from start to finish. It was a first-hand look at how things were actually produced and how the design process worked with actual products. After a few years, I moved to San Francisco and became the Art Director for eLuxury.com – LVMH's online destination for all of its brands at the time. These were the early days of eCommerce and many brands were just starting to understand online shopping and creating their digital presence. I created and managed each of their brand boutiques (ie. Fendi, Marc Jacobs, Dior), and led all of the designs for their marketing and merchandising campaigns. From there, I moved on to be the Creative Director for a start-up that blended fashion and tech. Boutiques.com was an online shopping site where you could shop via style, color, event, silhouette…you name it, nowadays these same sites use 3d visualization to showcase their products and give customers a better look at what they have to offer, potentially upping customer engagement and buying. It also served as an online community where you could shop via the style of an influencer or celebrity by simply going to their style "boutique." That was my foray into the tech world as I learned so much about how to create, design and build a service like this. I worked crazy hours with my team (engineers, developers, project managers) and got to cut my teeth on UX and UI design too. Google became interested in our service and we eventually were acquired. Once I officially became a Googler, I spent the next 5 years focused on teams in the eCommerce space – Google Play and Google Shopping Express. I was a Visual Design lead that helped define and launch both services. I managed a global team of designers that focused on marketing and merchandising campaigns, art-directed photoshoots and learned how critical data/metrics are to determining a company's success. From branding, marketing, merchandising to production, each of these roles has prepared me for a wide spectrum of skills that are instrumental to starting my own. I'm thankful to have had extensive experiences in each of these areas across multiple industries. However, starting a company of your own is completely different! When I was starting my business, one of my friends was telling me about using clickfunnels templates to get more customers purchasing from your business. Apparently, these funnels can be used to drive in more sales or even to get more people signed up to your email marketing system. This sounded helpful, however, I decided to try and see how much of the business I could grow myself first. She finds it helps her business a lot, it's definitely something I'll keep in mind. I absolutely love that a big part of the Bash + Sass brand ethos is rooted in sustainability. Can you tell me more about that and how it came to be a big part of your brand vision? I don't want kids making clothes for my kids. It's just that simple and one of the biggest reasons why I made sure to source local manufacturers (and fabrics) for my line. After doing a lot of research around production options and costs, it was shocking to learn about the conditions, pay and overall picture of many factories overseas. It is important for me as a new parent to buy ethically produced and sustainable clothing whenever possible. Making sure my own line supported this same philosophy was a no-brainer. Supporting local businesses is another reason why this means a lot. I'd much rather have personal relationships with my vendors and manufacturers than be a number. There's something so nice about being able to walk into the production factory, with baby Isa bobbing her head and strapped to my chest, to discuss samples with my team. Its that kind of connecting that makes a difference for me. I'm not just making clothes, I'm making something very personal and feel passionate about it. I want those involved to also be connected to me and the brand. How did you ultimately decide to jump into the children's clothing line market? Becoming a mama pushed me to make the jump. I had a really hard time finding modern, minimal and edgy styles for Bash. I wanted simple clothes that were comfy but not too cutesy or filled with trains and cars. I didn't know sourcing simple baby/toddler clothes would be such a challenge! After spending way too much money on postage for overseas brands that had a minimal aesthetic, I said F it and decided to try designing on my own. Now after having Isa, I'm excited to continue designing gender-neutral minimal styles that both my kids can influence and wear. Since starting this business, what have some of your biggest lessons been? Any pain points you had to push through? I'd definitely say some of the biggest lessons have been around production because this my first dive into the world of clothing. I don't have a background in pattern making or textiles so to be honest, it's like learning a whole new language. This definitely feels similar to when I had to learn how the development side of things worked in order to communicate my designs properly with engineers in the tech industry. I can't just sketch or photoshop what I want and have it magically appear because there are so many elements to consider (ie. stretch, fit, how the fabrics drape). I'm thankful to have found kind and patient professionals in these areas to guide me through this oh-so-educational round of designing and producing apparel. Learning how to shop for fabrics has been another one, too. I can still remember wanting to cry (and this was less than a year ago) when I stepped into a 10,000 sq ft. fabric warehouse and had NO CLUE where to even begin. It felt like I had to find a lost shoe at Disneyland, it was so overwhelming. I asked A LOT of questions and brought home a bag full of swatches before I made my final decisions. As a female entrepreneur, what advice would you want to give to women looking to ultimately start their own businesses? Surround yourself with positive people … especially women. The power of community and support is phenomenal. I thought about creating a line for years before I actually had the courage and confidence to do it. I am beyond lucky to have a strong circle of family, friends and entrepreneurial (many of them new!) ladies around me. I know I can lean on them, ask stupid questions, freak out and grab a glass of wine whenever necessary. I would also say research, research, research and educate yourself on how to start your own business. I took a course at a local women's entrepreneur center on how to start a small business. I was familiar with the design/marketing side of things, but financials and numbers scared the shit out of me (they still do but I have a better grasp now). I quickly learned there are so many resources out there specifically designed to help women in this space. I remember commuting together to work when you were pregnant with Baby Bash! Time has flown. What has motherhood taught you about running your own business? Motherhood is 24-7 and I know there's always something more I can do. This statement holds true about being an entrepreneur too. I think motherhood as a whole has taught me more about finding balance. I'm definitely no expert here and it's still a work in progress. Balancing both mama and biz life is the hardest part as it's a priority for me to still be present and energetic for my nuggets, especially while they are still so young. Motherhood has forced me to be more organized, efficient and plan ahead whenever possible. I've learned to let the little things go because I simply don't have the time or energy for it … and really, it's probably not worth it anyways. It's also taught me to take care of ME, because if I'm not OK, the rest of the family cookie crumbles. Pursuing this business IS for me, which feels amazing. I think a lot of moms (myself included) lose their identity once kids arrive. I definitely felt that way the first few months after my son was born. My whole world changed and I wasn't sure who I was (I'm sure the lack of sleep didn't help either) or how to re-define myself. It took me awhile to figure out how to address what I needed and to be able to do something about it. For me, I needed to do something creative of my own that I felt passionate about. Bash + Sass fulfills this to the Nth degree as my brand is an extension of myself, my style and directly influenced by my kids. It's beyond rewarding to work really hard at something so personal and also know that its teaching and setting an example for my kids to achieve their own goals as they grow older. I feel very lucky to have found a creative outlet that combines all of these things full circle. We've big fans of the hammer pants (ahem, do they come in my size?). Who are your design influences? For you girl, just maybe! Glad you heart the hammers too and don't care if it's not 1990 anymore. 😉 I wear an adult version all the time. They're super comfy, easy to wear and I even dress mine up with some heels every once in awhile (although I usually live in sneakers). I'm a big fan of minimalist designers (surprise, surprise) like Alexander Wang, Yohji Yamamoto, Rei Kawakubo and Helmut Lang. It's fun and inspiring to see how these designers mix in edgy features to everyday basics and push silhouettes to the limits. I love the subtle details that make their styles unique and sophisticated. I'm aiming to do a toned down version for toddler/kids clothing — create mini versions of simple basics with an edgy twist. What is the design process like for you? Walk me through from start to finish. I usually start with an idea that is inspired from something I saw while traveling or in my day to day. For example (this is going to sound so random), there's a cute kid space where I used to take Bash that has a micro NASA space station. They have a mini control center with knobs and buttons galore and a rack of super fresh astronaut suits for kids to dress up in (kinda awesome, right?). He always chose this one orange NASA jumpsuit that had tons of pockets, patches and a popped collar. I loved the shape and the structured popped collar and started thinking about how I could translate it into something more clean and less costume-y. Next thing you know, I'm going through all of the pics from that day and studying the shape and trying to re-sketch how I can make it work as part of my collection. This is how the Maverick romper came about. 🙂 I gather a lot of my influences from the adult fashion world of course, but also just as much from other design industries like architecture, furniture/product and interior design. I'm inspired by all things modern and clean but it's fun to find inspiration in unexpected places like a mini NASA space station! I definitely also make a conscious effort to see new places and travel (local and abroad) as often as possible. Traveling has always been a huge source of inspiration for me. As a whole, it's helped shape me as a person and most definitely impacts my design ideas and projects. I hope to continue exploring and traveling with my kids so they can learn and expand their view of the world. What is the biggest challenge of starting your own business with a young family? And the biggest reward? Hands down it's that "B" word again, balance. I'm jumping back into startup mode but this time around, I have two amazing nuggets to consider. I'm extremely motivated to push this business forward but am very mindful to be smart about it and do this at a manageable pace. It's so cliche but true to say that your kids are only young once. I want to savor these early years as much as possible and don't want to look back and feel regret because this is time I can't and won't ever get back. I put my phone down after Bash gets home from daycare and am focused on him and Isa until they close their eyes at night. I've carved out 1 weekday where I'm 1:1 with Isa too so we can spend quality time and connect. My weekends are all about the kids too so we try to plan family activities (when we're not hitting the birthday party circuit) that involve city adventures and fresh air. The rest of the time in between, I'm hustling, photoshop-ing, trying to keep up with social media and hitting my checklist of business to-do's to get the brand out there. It's not easy and I'm definitely not racking up miles in the sleep department, but I know it's part of the launch process and building my brand. The biggest reward is knowing that I'm teaching my kids to pursue their dreams by leading with example. Both my husband and I are entrepreneurs and I hope we show them by working hard and smart, they too can achieve their goals. You can see more of the Bash + Sass line here. Photos by Angie Silvy

"Glass" Ornament
This is Motif 24 from The Tatted Artistry of Teiko Fujito. I thought that, turned vertically like this, it resembles certain types of glass ornaments, like these. I tatted this in blessed size 80. The first round is Majestic color 850, and the third round is Lizbeth color 632. The second round is LadyShuttleMaker's "Undersea Garden". Alas, this was a limited edition colorway and is no longer available, although she does have a couple of other colorways that are very similar. Who says Christmas ornaments have to be in Christmas colors?
As I was blocking this one, I realized that if you turn it sideways it looks like an eye; you would tat the first round in black, the second in whatever color you want the iris to be, and the third in white.
I have just one more ornament I'm going to tat this afternoon, and then I need to get everything for the sale packaged and labelled. Fortunately, this task is already about half done. I should have it all in the mail to my mom by the middle of next week so that she'll have time to sort and price it all.
With each item, I am including one of these:
Spread the word any way you can, right?

That is a wonderful piece, Miranda! Beautiful!ReplyDelete
It's a good label.
Fox : )
I suspect you will inspire a few new tatters!ReplyDelete
I love the label, clear and concise!ReplyDelete
The ornament is really stunning. I've got to get that book!
The ornament (OR eye!) is great! And I really like your label - very professional and lovely description.ReplyDelete
...stunning and beautiful! Love the label!ReplyDelete
I can't believe how many things you've tatted for the sale! The difficult thing is the pricing. The label is excellent and possibly will bring some folks to your blog - and to tatting!ReplyDelete
I agree that Teiko Fujito's design looks like an ornament! An interesting design idea, adding small motifs to the ends of a circular 'doily'. It could be done in so many color combinations and would look great on a tree or in a window! It would also look neat with some beads or a big crystal hanging off it. And it DOES look like an eye!
Ornament or eye, both looks really lovely. A very pretty pattern.ReplyDelete
this is absolutely stunning, very pretty color choice, well done :XReplyDelete
Wow, it's so beautiful!!!It looks so delicate, and colours are wonderful!ReplyDelete
Stunning beautiful love the way you used it as an ornament or eye, which ever way you put it its still stunningReplyDelete
I agree we have to spread the word every way we can.

I love it. The vertical one looks like it should be on a necklace.ReplyDelete
Mobile, Al.
A wonderful way to spread the word with your tags! I love the eye/ornament! Best of luck with the sale and showing everyone your beautiful tatting.ReplyDelete
That is a great ornament and great colors! :)ReplyDelete
Great idea to add the info card. :)
I love the color and your choice actually does looks like an eye. By the way, I love your note.ReplyDelete

- In a key ballot initiative, Florida will restore voting rights to citizens convicted of certain felonies after they have served their sentences, including prison terms, parole and probationary periods, AP has projected.
Voting rights will not be restored to those convicted of murder or felony sexual offenses.
Approximately 1.5 million people are currently barred from voting in the state because of a past felony conviction — a figure representing about 10 percent of Florida's adult population.
Felons who have served their sentences in Florida have in recent years been forced to appeal to the governor and his Cabinet for the restoration of their voting rights.
While more than 150,000 Floridians had their voting rights restored during Democrat Charlie Crist's four years in office, Gov. Rick Scott's ascension to the office seven years ago put a halt to that. Since 2011, Scott has restored voting rights to just over 3,000 people.
Well this could really change things in Florida
I remember finding out how restricted voting was in America during the last election and being shocked by how backwards it all was. We set up polling stations in prisons in Canada, because it's already considered a right of every Canadian when they turn 18. This is a good step and it also starts a conversation with people from other countries in a positive way. Kind of like when a kid from a messed up family talks to people from normal families and goes holy shit this isn't okay this should change.
We beat people in prison and the experience of jail before even being formally charged is unpleasant. I can elaborate on that later if anyone wants. I'm surprised you let prisoners vote but also wondering why we don't. Oh yeah, you lose human rights here as well as constitutional rights. What was I thinking?

Manchester City beat Barcelona and Real Madrid in race to sign 15-year-old starlet Richard Dionkou
City agree deal for Real Mallorca defender ahead of clutch of top Spanish sides
MANCHESTER CITY have beaten Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona to the signing of 15-year-old starlet Richard Dionkou.
City were among a host of top clubs who have been tracking the schoolboy who is currently registered to Real Mallorca.
Real, Barca and Atletico Madrid were all hoping to attract the highly-rated right-back to their Academy systems with the view to fast-tracking him through the grades.
But it is City who have emerged triumphant after Dionkou expressed his desire to move to England to join Pep Guardiola's club.
Under FIFA guidelines no player is able to sign a contract until they reach the age of 16, so Dionkou will remain with Mallorca for the rest of this season.
But he will link up with the City academy over the summer, where he will begin his development playing in the club's successful under-18 side.
The full-back, who was originally born in Senegal, is seen as a genuine prospect to develop into a top class footballer in a few years.
His capture continues City's moves to bring in some of the most talented young players at a young age as they look to develop their own first team stars.
Last month they agreed a deal to sign Southen schoolboy Finley Burns for £175,000, and another £255,000 has been set aside to sign 15-year-old Valencia striker Nabil Touaizi when he turns 16.

Emerald Health Therapeutics Joint Venture Launches Cannabis-Free Endocannabinoid-Supporting Health Supplement in Canada
VANCOUVER, British Columbia,
The Endo product line includes Endo Brain, Endo Sleep, Endo Calm, Endo Bliss, Endo Inflame and Endo Omega, and are intended to foster overall health and wellness and potentially enhance the body's response to conditions such as stress, anxiety, restless sleep, inflammation and pain. These products feature PhytoCann® Complex, a proprietary formulation consisting of non-psychoactive, plant-based bioactive compounds that support the body's endocannabinoid system. All products are manufactured according to strict pharmaceutical quality standards.
"Many people who experience stress, inflammation, and trouble sleeping, among other conditions, may be seeking natural health alternatives to conventional medications. While many are intrigued with the anecdotal benefits of cannabis, often there is still reluctance to try cannabis-based products," said Dr. Gaetano Morello, Naturopathic Doctor, CEO of Emerald Health Naturals. "The Endo product line was developed by leading naturopathic doctors who previously launched new products into the natural health market, and we are pleased to now introduce Canadian consumers and retailers to this new nutritional supplement as an alternative to existing drugs, supplements, and cannabis."
"Apart from our strongly positioned presence in the cannabis space, the Endo product launch allows us to uniquely expand Emerald's business opportunities by accessing natural health product, pharmacy, and grocery stores, channels unavailable to cannabis products, with our non-cannabis supplements," said Dr. Avtar Dhillon, President and Executive Chairman of Emerald. "We see non-cannabis endocannabinoid-supporting products as the creation of a distinct and significant new natural health product category. Furthermore, our proprietary active ingredient, Phytocann® Complex, offers the potential to be incorporated into an array of supplements, foods, and beverages."
Eighty percent of Canadians consume natural health products each year1. Emerald aims to widely offer its Endo products in retail outlets and is targeting more than 1,000 natural health product stores, pharmacies and grocery stores in Canada by the end of 2019.
Emerald's joint venture partner, Emerald Health Bioceuticals ("EHB"), formulated and launched the award-winning Endo line in 2018. Several of the Endo products have since won industry awards, including Taste For Life's 2019 Essentials Supplement Award, which recognizes the most outstanding natural supplements in health and wellness in the United States. Over the last year, EHB has secured multiple distribution and sales channels for the Endo product line in the US, ranging from national grocery chains such as
In 2018, Emerald Health Therapeutics secured Canadian distribution rights for the Endo product line through Emerald Health Naturals, its 51:49 joint venture with EHB.
About the Endocannabinoid System
The endocannabinoid system ("ECS") is made up of a network of receptor sites (CB1 and CB2) on cell membranes, chemical activators ("cannabinoids") that fit into those sites like keys in locks, and enzymes that either synthesize those activators or break them down. ECS receptors have been found on almost every organ in the human body, with the highest concentration in the brain and central nervous system. The ECS, as part of the body's innate balancing mechanism, has been shown to play a role in regulating appetite, energy, metabolism, fertility, and immunity as well as sleep, mood, pain perception and memory.
About the Endo Product Line*
Emerald's proprietary PhytoCann® Complex is an herbal and botanical complex completely free of cannabis or its derivatives.
Endo Brain - Naturally supports mental acuity and cognition.
Endo Sleep – Naturally promotes restful and rejuvenating sleep.
Endo Calm - Naturally addresses your body's response to stress and anxiety.

|dynamic declarations of conditions
|Fri, 08 Oct 2004 15:29:21 GMT
So now we have (assuming gump works) a new condition in Ant <IsPingable> that is only there when Java1.5 is present. Which means that we cannot hard code it into the condition task, but instead rely on dynamic typing and loading. Which is fine, except that we still need to declare the new condition on startup, and we only typedef and taskdef the defaults.properties in /types and /tasks, dont we? So what do we do for everything else (a) have a new antlib we load on startup with extra bits. NB: does this fail if stuff is missing? I'd like to mark the condition as an optional load. (b) completely migrate over to antlib for all our declarations. (c) something else. Thoughts? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com

The Archbishops of
We were greeted warmly and we felt we were amongst friends. We shared a little about the structure of the
We emphasised the importance we placed on our covenantal relationship and talked about the many areas where our two Churches are working together productively. However we did acknowledge that in many areas of the country individuals and groups are frustrated at the lack of progress being made and the barriers they encounter to greater joint working.
We concluded by reminding Synod members of the powerful words of the Methodist Covenant Service Prayer and suggested that Methodists approach the Anglican-Methodist Covenant in the spirituality of this prayer. We echoed what previous Conferences have agreed, that we are prepared to be changed and even cease having a separate existence as a Church if it will serve the needs of the Kingdom. But our parting challenge was that both our Churches needed to approach the Covenant in this spirit.
A full copy of our address can be downloaded from this site, although what that will not contain is the reference we made to the President sharing his blue gloves with the Archbishops of Canterbury and Westminster at the Wave Climate Change rally in December, in order that they were both properly dressed for the cameras. A true sign of partnership working.
Our hope is our visit to the General Synod will act as a catalyst to renewed joint work together, and give greater impetus to those working to find resolutions to the big questions that still face us.

Reader Poll: Your Pick for Jacksonville's Next Mayor?
Sometime next year, Jacksonville voters will head to the polls to pick our city's next mayor. A trio of major candidates have already launched their campaigns, and several other high profile figures have announced that they will enter the race in early April.
The last time the Jacksonville Observer conducted a reader poll on the mayor's race was June of 2009. In that poll we opened it up to everyone who was even remotely thought to be considering the race. That meant including people like State Representative Mike Weinstein, former Ambassador John Rood, former Jaguar Tony Boselli, Supervisor of Elections Jerry Holland and others. The results of that VERY early and VERY unscientific survey can be seen here.
Today we're trying it again, but this time the only names on the ballot are major candidates who have already launched or are about to launch their campaigns. Space for write-in choices is available, but we are mainly focusing on the candidates already off and running.
Polling will continue until next Tuesday at noon, when we'll close this topic and tally up the results. Check back next Wednesday for a full recap, including write-in votes.
FAIR WARNING: We can track IP addresses with this survey and if we detect any attempts to manipulate the results by voting multiple times or using bots, we reserve the right to delete the fradulent votes.

Moran will win this one!She is very sharp and will have the funds to get her message out.I would love to see a debate with her and Mike Hogan.I will record that event! KNOCK OUT EARLY ROUND
Mike Hogan is the clear choice. A fiscal conservative, wiht strong moral beliefs and his character is
strong without question.

Ghosts are the shadowy forces behind some of the publishing world's greatest sensations. Reading the literary pages lately, you could be forgiven for thinking that this spectral army is on the rise.
Recently there's been an outcry over internet identity Zoella's recent ghost-written chick lit novel – a novel that was expected to be so popular that it had to be launched from a secret location.
The untimely death of Rebecca Farnworth, the long acknowledged ghost for glamour model Katie Price's novels, as well has her best-selling autobiography Being Jordan, has drawn attention to the role of ghosts.
One of my undergraduate students has been chasing rumours on social media about a future Bryce Courtney ghost (only a rumour). Then last week one of my stellar postgraduate students announced an impending deal to write for one of the biggest names in American publishing.
This will allow her to transition from a relatively frugal life, marked by bits of writing royalties backed up by occasional academic teaching contracts, to money that comes in reliably every week, in a stream approaching an actual wage, underpinned by a massive publicity machine and guaranteed translation into a range of languages.
But unlike many other ghosted contracts, she will also get to have her name on the cover.
This is what is changing. It's not that there are more ghosts in the publishing machine, but that some of the ghosts are gaining – and even demanding – recognition.
The ghosts appear
Until recently, any conversation about ghostwriting would have quickly wandered into the murky and more disreputable parts of commercial literary production, such as hoaxes and forgeries or, in academic circles, the spectre of contract plagiarism.
Over the course of the last decade, this has changed. Everybody knows Tom Clancy doesn't write all of his own novels. Neither does Wilbur Smith or James Pattison. Most people would realise that Learning to Fly wasn't written by Victoria Beckham, but by Pepsy Denning. It was Tom Watts who wrote David Beckham's My Side. Other ghosts with books regularly in the international top-ten include Andrew Crofts and Mark McCrum.
The list goes on. RL Stine didn't write all the Goosebumps books. Carol Keene, the alleged author of the Nancy Drew series, never existed. She was conjured by a team of ghosts. VC Andrews – author of Flowers in the Attic – published more books after her death than were published in the author's lifetime – thanks to Andrew Neiderman, who is better known in his own right as the author of The Devil's Advocate.
Who names their ghosts?
What is intriguing about ghosted books is the varying level of acknowledgement given to the writer. Some ghosts get to have their name on the cover, albeit in a smaller font.
Others can only be found tucked away on the acknowledgements page, where they are thanked along with the babysitter, favourite aunt or grandmother. Still others remain anonymous and are contractually forbidden to acknowledge their participation in the work.
The work done by the ghost also differs in every situation. They may write up interviews, and shape them into a non-fiction story. They may weave a given set of fictional characters and concepts together with the magic of their words. In some instances, they actually pitch the characters, the concepts and the story and then write it up as well.
In this case, the name writer operates a bit like a brand – a guarantee of readability – that is applied to the cover.
So should we be upset that some of our favourite authors don't actually exist? Are ghosts to be considered on par with – or even lower than – publicists weaving together a book-length press release? Or do they simply tell the stories of our culture that would otherwise remain untold?
Outside the literary realm, ghosting has long been a respectable and even admired institution in the world of politics. Let's face it, James Monroe didn't write the Monroe Doctrine – that was John Quincy Adams. Alex Haley wrote the autobiography of Malcolm X.
Anything comprehensible that Ronald Reagan ever said was penned by Peggy Noonan, including the speech on the Challenger disaster – in literary terms, one of the great dramatic speeches of the late 20th century.
In Australia, Don Watson and Graham Freudenberg ought to be thanked for anything that is remotely literary in political rhetoric.
But ghosting is still perceived to be a problem when it comes to the world of books. In the case of Zoella's ghosted novel, rumours attributing the authorship of Girl Online to YA novelist Siobhan Curham grew into an astonishing tirade of abuse on social media. Readers felt cheated.
They weren't just after a good read – even though the book was a work of popular fiction. Rather, the presence of the ghost seemed to violate a cultural requirement that a book has a single "author" whose life experience provides a unitary source of meaning for the text that is authentic and sincere.
Zoella has since declared on social media that she will be writing her next book by herself.
Interestingly enough, the same sense of outrage didn't apply in the case of Katie Price. But then Price was open about her literary arrangements, announcing in an interview that although she comes up with the concepts and characters, she is "not a writer", and the work that Farnworth does is "just amazing". They worked as a team, she confessed, albeit a somewhat unequal one.
Sharing the load
Modernism – and western culture generally since the late 18th century – taught us that books were written in solitary creative frenzies. It valued art over craft, idea over execution, and the concept over the idea of making.
Modern authors – whether literary or popular – were always singular, and heroic. The entity that in literary theory is called the "Author Function" guaranteed the authenticity of a work and dictated its horizon of meaning.
In our own age of "networked" or "collective intelligence" readers are perhaps more open to the idea that a book can be the product of many minds and hands.
Transparency seems to be a large part of the answer to any of the ethical dilemmas this entails. Indeed, if there's a spectral presence in the celebrity publishing machine, it's not the writer but the illusion of celebrity.

The underground world of Music Posters at UQAM Centre de Design
Presenting the exhibit Non conforme – The Underground Universe of Elzo Durt and Sébastien Lépine until September 23rd – You'll definitely want to stop by the infamous UQAM Centre de Design to discover the unbelievable music world of these two emerging graphic artists.
Elzo Durt and Sébastien Lépine are both part of a contemporary movement of poster artisans who usually print their own works on silkscreen, in limited editions, and offer them for sale at music festivals and events dedicated to underground graphics. Some of these excellent, rare posters quickly become expensive collector's items – But even more interesting is the impressive selection of posters featured from which you will most certainly recognize a band or two.
Presenting artworks that were used by musicians such as Jack White, The National, Sigur Ros and Beach House to name a few – This exhibits quickly become a satisfying game of references.
Conceived by curator and professor emeritus Marc H. Choko, the exhibition introduces the public to the work of two poster designers who studied graphic design before embarking on a practice inspired by their love of music. The works of both these artists, with similar backgrounds, break the constraints of archetypical conformity taught in schools. Addressing an informed public, their posters flaut the criteria of perfect readability, opting instead for a rich abundance of imagery and underground graphic references.
"Their posters express a universe unto itself, reflecting urban nocturnal culture – its concerts, its more or less legal substances – with a rebellious aesthetic peculiar to the counterculture," says Marc H. Choko.
Originally from Brussels, Elzo Durt studied there at the École de Recherche Graphique. His posters comprise borrowings, collages and (often incongruous) juxtapositions, in a multicoloured palette, infused with psychedelic and punk influences. Highly recognizable, they have been featured in numerous exhibitions in Europe and the United States. Durt also creates album and magazine covers and develops visuals for skateboard, snowboard and clothing brands.
Sébastien Lépine
Sébastien Lépine studied graphic design at UQAM (BA Graphic Design 2001). His style, mixing photographic elements, frames, traces of colour, transparencies and overlays, is marked by continual experimentation and a quest for depth. His experiments play with the superimposition of colours, the decomposition of the image and the multiplication of planes.
Marc Choko – Curator
Marc H. Choko is a professor emeritus at the UQAM School of Design, where he has taught since 1977. He is also an author, lecturer and curator. He is a lover of posters, which he has collected since the mid-1960s. Since the early 1980s, he has been organizing exhibitions, including several as curator, and publishing a number of books.

Hey. I have an Express SR and the starter motor is acting up. I use the kick starter so its not critical but I'd like to have the starter motor working because why not :D This bike is in amazing shape and I'd like to have everything running in stock shape. Any advice based on the sound its making in the video of it here? How to fix or should I just try to find a replacement? Battery is at 77CCA/12.68 Volts
Express SR starter motor
Re: Express SR starter motor
have you been in the transmission, might be teeth. pup the kicker and the cover off and you can take a look, it's probably obvious then. Might be a new motor, maybe not. I had the electric starter on mine but it'd never start it. turned over but wouldn't get going except kickstart.
Re: Express SR starter motor
I think someone had a thread on repairing the urban express starter which is the same thing. New battery didn't do it for ya? What's the latest on the Tomos?
Re: Express SR starter motor
Nope I took the moped to Batteries Plus and they tested it and told me the battery if healthy. Tomos APPEARS to be fixed but is in storage for another month till the weather improves
Re: Express SR starter motor
What happens when you press the starter button?

Watch the video? It shows what happens.
Re: Express SR starter motor
good news on the Tomos. Too bad 2nd joke couldn't come through.
Here's maybe a helpful link
I would start by pulling the starter and inspecting it. Take off the stator cover and that will give you access. (edited)

I can't get the video to play. I'll keep trying.
Re: Express SR starter motor
Okay. I got it to play. Make sure all connections (battery, relay, starter wires) are clean and tight. An easy thing to do would be to jump it with a car battery. If it wouldn't start then, I'd pull the starter and 1- check the brushes 2-clean the inside 3-lube the bearings/bushings 4-bench test 5-install and re-test. At this point, if it wasn't diagnosed, I'd start inspecting gears and such.
Re: Express SR starter motor
check for voltage drop at the starter when you are cranking it.
it doesn't sound like anything is wrong with the starter, I'd agree with Mike about jumping it with a larger cranking capacity battery as a test. The batteries on these are barely enough to get em spinning, and condition depends on what test the shop did.
i bet it has voltage, but wouldn't pass a load test.
plus if you are doing this all right now, it is probably super cold which isn't helping.
try riding it around for a bit, under motor is warm, then shutting it off and immediately try to start it up again using the starter.
Want to post in this forum? We'd love to have you join the discussion, but first:
