(Pravoslavie) - April 26, 2012 in Strasbourg, in the spring session of the PA Assembly of the Council of Europe conference "Surrogacy: violation of human rights."
Hegumen Philip (Riabykh)
The main point of discussion was the report, "Surrogate Motherhood: a human rights violation", prepared by the European Centre for Law and Justice. The document refers to the violation of women's rights arising from their commercial exploitation, but also due to the difficulty in determining parental rights, because in the process of conception, pregnancy and child-rearing may be involved in up to 6 people (two donor gametes, a surrogate mother, her husband, "legal" parents of the child).
In addition, the document stresses the problem of subsequent self-identification of a child born to a surrogate mother, and his mental health. The report also provides specific human rights violations related to surrogacy.
In discussing the report of the Representative of the Russian Orthodox Church at the Council of Europe in Strasbourg, Abbot Philip (Ryabykh) said that despite the existence of laws that permit "surrogate" motherhood in Russia and Ukraine, the Russian Church does not accept this method of reproduction, as discussed in the Fundamentals its social concepts in the section "Problems of bioethics."
Alternatively, Abbot Philip offered infertile couples turn to women wishing to have an abortion: having adopted children of such women, people not only can have long awaited a child, but also to save his life and will save his mother from the sin of infanticide.
European People's Party faction in the PACE invited the deputies of the inter-parliamentary organizations signed the declaration in which surrogacy is recognized human rights violation and humiliation of human dignity. The signing of this document is open to the summer session of PACE. Declaration has been signed by about a hundred people, the site representative of the Russian Church in Strasbourg .
The relevance of the conference is related to the preparation of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe recommendations on the rights and legal status of children and parental responsibility, which includes provisions to recognize the legitimacy of surrogate motherhood. In addition, currently before the European Court of Human Rights are two claims of French citizens to recognize their parental rights to children born to surrogate mothers in the United States.
The conference was organized by the European Centre for Law and Justice, in collaboration with several European NGOs, and with the support of the European People's Party faction in the PACE.
In the discussion of surrogate motherhood attended Abbot Philip (Ryabykh), a representative of the Russian Orthodox Church at the Council of Europe in Strasbourg, as well as the permanent observer of the Holy See to the Council of Europe, Monsignor Aldo Giordano, and a number of diplomats, MPs and public figures from various European countries.
The main speakers were the head of the European People's Party faction in the PACE Luca Volonte (Italy), a lawyer Jeanne Payot (France) and leader of the center of "Caring for Europe," David Fildsend (Belgium).
The conference provides information on the legal status of surrogacy in various European countries. In the vast majority of the Council of Europe, it is prohibited. Surrogacy is permitted in Armenia, Great Britain, Greece, Georgia, Russia and Ukraine. However, only in the UK surrogate mother after the birth is entitled to keep the child on the basis of the natural connection that arose during pregnancy and childbirth, in all other countries that allow surrogacy, the surrogate mother must give up their parental rights before the baby is born.

Smithson Goes To The Birds
(Mad Genius Remixes The Smithsonian)
in 2013, the smithsonian posted a flurry of odd samples, most of them bird calls, from their sound archive and challenged musicians around the globe to remix them. not content with a mere mash-up, mad genius picked up the torch and composed an entirely new song using only archive material. inspired by the golden age of museums, what we imagine to be the '20s and '30s, we assembled this jazzy little electronic ditty. art damaged sample pop you can jitterbug to. take that, dear smithy!
you'll soon be able to purchase "smithson goes to the birds" along with the rest of our remastered catalog on itunes.

People fascinate me. I wonder sometimes why people do what they do. Or treat others a certain way. So much of what we do is what we have been exposed to in our lives. How we treat the world, is a direct influence of our environment. The one we grew up in.
I am a native South African living in Los Angeles for 15 years now, and I still have moments of disbelief. Interactions with people can leave me with a huge question mark and a frown on my forehead. A moment of jaw hanging open, and just nothing to say. And thinking to myself "did that just happen?' "did he/she really just do that?"
I am brought up with a certain group of morals, manners, and 'things not to do' to others. How NOT to treat your fellow man or woman. And then I would find myself in certain situations where I just can't believe my ears, or eyes. Then of course I question my own set of values and wonder if I am the odd one out, or if my culture is just very different.
And I would start hearing questions spiraling in my head like "How can anyone act in such a way and not see how disrespectful that is?"
I would watch right after that interaction to see if there is any kind of remorse, or guilt, or uncomfortable behavior. And all I see is nothing. Nada. Just pure normality in their being. As if what they just did or said, had no ill implications or was totally fine. I think the fact that people can act in such a way, and act normal right after, unaware of how they acted, makes me question who I am. Am I the one missing something or not seeing clearly? I dunno….
Call me naive. Perhaps in this way I am. Or am I expecting too much of others?
My wish is to surround myself with people who understand being human, the way I do.
I am not in any judgement around this, more just slightly thrown off my track. It makes me want to study people more. I am a seeker of truth. I desire to see through all illusion, and see how people tick. And I know that my soul can't understand another soul. So I will most probably get to the end of my quest all hugely disappointed and with a lack of clarity or understanding.
What I can say though is that I am learning a lot about people, and interactions that goes beyond the usual work place. And I realize I do have a lot to learn. And then again. Perhaps I have less to learn, just need to extract myself out of certain circles, and areas, and drop myself into places that feel more like home. Is that possible?
It also makes me realize why I love spending my time doing things that don't involve human interaction. What do one do when one feel different? There are some beings that would GET very well what I am saying here. Others might judge. And those who judge, might be the ones vastly different than me. And those who get this, are perhaps the ones I am meant to spent some good quality time with.
You get me?

Recently i read a book by Brandon Bays called The Journey. I forgot just about anything in the book when i read this one sentence near the end. It struck me like nothing before. It said: Never doubt the other person.
As far as i understand it now, it translates somewhere along the lines like this: as long as i feel any doubt, no matter how small, that i would have acted or thought any other way than the other person has done, then it is me who does not understand the other person completely. In other words, when i really understand the other person, there is no more difference in action or in thought between me and the other person.
This is the road from not-knowing to knowing. Krishnamurti uses unknowing, which is the road from knowing to not-knowing. The latter is what we use here on this forum and it is called dialogue. Essentially these are the same, but sometimes the one is on the surface and the other is down below, sometimes it is the other way round. This is also law of two, the law of apparently opposites.
While i type this i try to figure out if this makes any sense. Please don't say yes or no, find out yourself. Let us share our views.
Let the dialogue commence...
One can not change and remain the same person.

Living in New York City for the summer sometimes can feel like living in an oven. No circulation of air, just steady, hot, sometimes sticky and sometimes stinky air. The New York Botanical Garden is a welcome reprieve. Located in the Bronx section of NYC, it is a quick 20 minute trip from Grand Central. Once at the station all you need to do is cross the street and you are at the garden. Being this easy is important when traveling with a toddler. Since April I have been looking forward to this exhibit. Frida Kahlo makes me feel good and happy. Food for the soul.
A mock up of Frida and Diego's house, Casa Azul, in Coyocan Mexico.

Frida and Diego had a cactus fence outside their home. Their gardens were a clever combination of native Mexican flora.
The exhibit goes until November 1. For more info check out the Botanical Garden's website right here.

The most typical thing is the fundamental ring. Just enough to receive it to the consistency which you want, it's typically a couple tablespoons-worth. After you're happy with your technique, get prepared for the actual deal.

Concert Flamenco Guitar
Make: José Ruiz Pedregosa
Model: Concert Flamenco Guitar
Model Year: 2009
Top: German Spruce
Back & Sides: Spanish Cypress
Scale: 650mm
Nut: 52mm

José Ruiz Pedregosa (b. 1958) is the only disciple of the Spanish luthier Jerónimo Peña Fernández whose guitars are played by such great flamenco players as Monolo Sanlucar, Manolo Escobar, and Enrique Montoya. I have compared José Ruiz Pedregosa's flamenco guitars head to head with that of flamenco Gerundino Fernandez and found that I liked that ofJose Ruiz Pedregosa more. This is one of the most regal sounding flamenco guitars we have. It has all the qualities that flamenco players demand: volume, great rasp, quickness, low fast action, and authentic flamenco tone.

Day 1/
Good way to start the year, with a Sunday workout.
"The standard measurement of speed on an ergometer is generally known as the "split," or the amount of time in minutes and seconds required to travel 500 meters at the current pace — a split of 2:00 represents a speed of two minutes per 500 metres, or about 4.17 metres per second (15.0 km/h). The split does not necessarily correspond to how many strokes the rower takes (the "rating") since strokes can vary in power." Wikipedia. Workout:
Warm Up: Warm up stuff, then determine your fastest 500m split on the rower (this will probably take less than 10 pulls to find)
Round 1: Take about five pulls on the rower to get the split to within 5 seconds of the 500m split you established in the warm up. Row as long as you can until the split drops below the 5 second cushion (Example: Ben established a 1:21 500m split in the warmup, once rowing, the moment the 500 split dropped below 1:26 he was done rowing). The partner notes the amount of time spent rowing and that is the amount of time you have to rest until you do a max reps set of hang-clean thrusters (65/95), then immediately into max reps ring-rows, then max reps push ups. It is now partner number 2's turn.
Round 2: Row as long as you can until your split drops below 10 seconds slower than your established split. Rest the amount of time that you rowed, then max reps thrusters (65/95), max reps ring rows, max reps push ups.
Round 3: Row as long as you can until your split drops below 15 seconds slower than your established split. Rest the amount of time that you rowed, then max reps wall balls (14/20), max reps ring rows, max reps push ups.

Veg out!
When was the last time you watched the evening news and heard a nutrition expert urging Americans to eat more meat to stave off illness? Um, never? In fact, lots of studies have found the reverse is true: A largely plant-filled diet is the route to a longer, healthier life. "Research shows that when red meat is replaced, even in part, by vegetable protein sources, risk for coronary heart disease, diabetes and colon cancer is lower," says Walter C. Willett, M.D., chairman of the department of nutrition at Harvard School of Public Health in Boston. Not only that, but vegetarians (those who eat dairy and sometimes eggs but no meat, poultry or fish) and vegans (those who eat no animal products, not even dairy) have a lower body-mass index than those who eat meat. Considering the pluses, it's not surprising that many of you are already on the veggie wagon: In a poll at Self.com, 45 percent of women said they either were vegetarian or vegan now or had been a vegetarian of some ilk in the past. Keep in mind, though, that adopting a vegetarian diet is no magic pill. You certainly can find nonmeat foods that will muck up your arteries or pack on pounds—potato chips and full-fat cheese, for example. (And it's entirely possible to be a meat lover and still be slim, heart-healthy and long-lived.) "A vegetarian diet won't cancel out other bad habits, such as not exercising," says Virginia Messina, R.D., of Port Townsend, Washington, coauthor of The Convenient Vegetarian (Macmillan). But if you make savvy selections, such as the ones recommended here, a better body can be in your near future. (As can a healthier planet.) Ready to bring out your inner herbivore? Dust off your salad spinner and start harvesting the benefits!
What happens to your health?
It's hard to find fault with a diet that's built mostly from the foods nutritionists incessantly tell us to eat more of: fruit, vegetables, whole grains and nuts. But eschewing meat doesn't magically erase the need to be vigilant about what you're putting in your body. Before you decide to go all-herbivore, all the time, be sure you understand the rewards…and the risks.
Vegetarian payoffs
Diseases diminish Reduce your intake of red meat and you will lower your level of cholesterol—and thus your risk for heart disease, Dr. Willett says. Also decreased are the risk for diabetes, colon cancer and, in young women, breast cancer.
Antioxidants abound The antiaging jewels of the nutrition world are found mainly in food from the earth. Antioxidants repair cell damage; hence, they may be partly responsible for the lowered risk for heart disease and cancer in vegetarians.
You might lose weight Not only are you cutting out pound-promoting animal fat, but you are also probably replacing high-calorie-dense food choices with low-calorie-dense ones, so your calorie total should be lower, Dr. Willett says.
You'll likely live longer A review of several studies published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that women vegetarians had a 24 percent lower death rate from heart attacks than nonvegetarian women do. Pretty compelling.
It can be cheaper This one's a mental health benefit. Pricey seafood varieties and cuts of meat will no longer beat up your budget. Buy frozen produce (just as healthy) when fresh is out of season and basics (rice, beans) in bulk. Bargains!
Vegetarian pitfalls____That tired, rundown feeling Anemia, which can leave you fatigued, is caused in part by lack of iron in the blood. Your body absorbs animal iron more easily than it does plant iron. Including vitamin C–rich foods in meals helps aid absorption.
A possible protein shortage The only complete vegetable protein is soy, says Tara Gidus, R.D., a spokeswoman in Orlando, Florida, for the American Dietetic Association. Vegetarians must work to get a variety of muscle-building amino acids.
You might gain weight Inexperienced vegetarians or those who dislike veggies (yep, they exist) may load up on dairy or starchy carbs such as bread and crackers because they're familiar, convenient and tasty. The result: extra pounds.
Superfluous soy If you look only to soy for protein, you may overdo it; there's some evidence doing that could up your risk for dementia and breast cancer, Dr. Willett says. The jury is still out on how much soy is too much; for now, keep to two servings a day.
Your bones could weaken Studies show that lacto-ovo vegetarians have bone density similar to meat eaters'. But dairy-ditching vegans could have a tough time getting enough calcium from leafy greens and nuts and may need a supplement.
Ethical eating 101
Choosing to minimize how much meat you eat can help keep the earth—and many of the nation's farm animals—healthier, too.
Cleaner planet Transporting cattle, farming grain for feed and cows' own emissions of methane and nitrous oxide (e.g., farts) are major greenhouse-gas producers. If every American had one meat-free day a week, it would have the same impact as taking 8 million cars off the road, according to the Environmental Defense Fund in New York City.
Comfier creatures Conventionally raised animals often are restricted to crowded cages and pens that don't allow the inhabitants to lie down. If you do eat meat, consider organic—the industry is held to higher animal-treatment standards.
The wrong reasons to go veggie
To "make up for" unhealthy habits in other areas of your life Living meat-free can't compensate for a pack-a-day habit or the fact that the last time you stepped into a gym, you were wearing tube socks.
Because you're scared of bird flu and mad cow The chance of getting either of these illnesses is minuscule. And remember, nonmeat foods like lettuce and peanut butter can harbor pathogens (salmonella, E. coli) as well if they're handled, prepared or cooked improperly.
To be trendy Veganism and vegetarianism are as susceptible to hype as any diet. (Skinny Bitch, anyone?) Don't be duped by vague or extreme claims such as "Dairy is unhealthy" and "Humans didn't evolve to eat meat." And just because the coolest girl in the office is vegan doesn't mean it's right for you. If you're thinking about cutting out any food group, consult your doctor to make sure you won't inadvertently set yourself up for a nutrient deficiency.

2014 Lent Journals - 40 Days with Jesus
So, we're really excited to announce our 2014 Lent Journals. They are 5x7 bound journals with 40 days of scripture prompts and room for you to reflect on what you've read. They're undated, without commentary, so that they can be used for Lent - or any time of year. There are 4 sections made up of ten days - Hope, Follow, Live, Bless - and those are intentionally created to walk people through the redemptive story of Jesus whether they've never set foot in a church or if they've been a Christian for decades.
We have put much prayer and consideration in these and we cannot wait to use them with you guys. Our hope is that you'd use them and be blessed by them and want to share them with others who'd be blessed by them as well!
If you want your reflective journal in time for Lent, you need to order it by February 26th - but we'll keep selling them since they can be used any time of year. We hope you enjoy and we can't wait to start getting these in your hands ASAP. Get yours today!

Over the years, we have found the perfect solution for enjoying meals outdoor activities has been freeze dried food. Now some of you may scrunch up your noses when you hear about freeze dried food, but I am here to reassure you a Mountain House freeze dried meal accompanied by a healthy serving of fresh fruit and veggies is our perfect solution to mountain top cooking. We have enjoyed Mountain House products for several years, so when they were eager to take part in our anniversary festivities, I was excited to share some of my favorite products with you.
Wraps. Inside the pouch is the filling and then you provide rice or tortillas to put the filling on or in. Although the pouch we had said it was one serving, we found it to be ample food for two hungry people. Full and satisfied, we were able to enjoy the diminishing light and a peaceful evening on the mountain top all to ourselves.
one 4.73 oz pouch of Breakfast Skillet
one 5.11 oz pouch of New Orleans Style Rice and Beans
one 5.64 oz pouch of Chicken Alfredo
Leave a comment on the blog or on Instagram by Monday, June 24th about what your camping food style is and whether or not you have ever tried Mountain House freeze dried meals before.

{Photographic How To: Head in the Clouds}
This afternoon I got home just before sunset, at 2pm. Next week we see the shortest day this winter. Then I get back to 5am images without waiting until 9/10am until the sun finally rises.
When moving Andy and I concluded that we'd need a flat with two bedrooms, for multiple reasons including excess of shoes, visitors, but most wonderfully he agreed that I need space for images in the morning. While thinking about it more and more I reckon it was all motivated by self preservation because 5am isn't a time he likes to encounter unless we're returning home from a night. Today as the sun set and I ran back and forth with the self timer, the clouds were coming in ready to lash out with winter rain. Out of a load of images including a levitation stitch that will be seen soon, I was drawn to the blank stare of smugness in this one. Again, lens correction was abused and I can't get enough of it at the moment.
Hope you've all had a wonderful weekend. Any questions give me a shout in the comments below or via the FB page, Flickr, Twitter, Formspring or messenger pigeon. Friday we had some wonderful humans around for drunkeness, pastry nibbles and gentle silliness, but otherwise it's been a very photo intense weekend chilling.

Lost Souls Locker
After a short cut scene, you'll face a slightly new enemy, the Drowned Sailor. You've faced enemies like him before, but this time he'll have a new attack. He will dive under ground and attack you straight on. Keep the dodge button ready. If he misses you, he'll leave himself defenseless for a short while. Defeat him and walk forward a bit. A snout will be on the side of a tombstone. Pepper it to reveal a keyhole. On the other side of the keyhole is a memory entitled, "Different Friends."
Next, you'll come to a small fork in the road. One path leads straight, and one path leads to the right. Take the right path and smash some objects for teeth. The path will end up intersecting with the first path. Continue on until you reach a few Ice Snarks. Take them out quickly with whatever you like. After the battle, a Drowned Sailor will appear and talk with you. He asks you to help him find his friends and put them at peace.
Walk down the only path there is until you reach three doors. The one on the right should be the only one that opens. Enter the door to be transported to a new location. Inside is another Drowned Sailor. If you can defeat him without taking any damage, you will earn a new achievement/trophy (use the Bomb, and when he stuns himself, attack a few times - repeat). Just use the Pepper Grinder and keep your distance. After the fight, follow the blue light over a few platforms until you reach a treasure chest. Smash it open to release the spirit.
You'll wind back up at the three doors. Enter the next open door and prepare for another battle. This time you face a drowned sailor and Drifting Ruin. Use the block button to block and rebound the ruin's attacks. The Pepper Grinder is another great weapon against these guys, but using the auto aim is horrible. You'll be better off with the precision aim button. You could also focus on the sailor alone. If you defeat the sailor, you defeat the ruins. Follow the soul to the treasure chest, once again. When you reach the second stone platform, use your Shrink Sense to locate the hidden floating platforms. Don't fall back or your health will drain in the darkness. The second stone platform has a pressure pad. Drop a Clockwork Bomb on it to stop the first two platforms from sinking. Don't forget to grab the bottle from the clam. Jump into the jets and onto a slide to reach the treasure chest.
Now for the last door. This Drowned Sailor will have a ton of Slithering Ruin with it. Focus entirely on the Drowned Sailor. Dodge his attack and take him out. Of course, it will be much harder to lock on with the Pepper Grinder when using the auto aim. If you haven't earned the achievement/trophy for killing 30 enemies with Clockwork Bombs, this is definitely the place to do it. You can also attempt to hit four Slithering Ruin with one Hobby Horse ground smash. Four enemies must be hit on the third swing of the combo. After killing the Drowned Sailor, follow the light across a few platforms. Be quick on the clams, or they will shut their jaws on you. The first stone platform has a pressure pad. Drop a bomb on the pad to bring up several water jets. Use your Shrink Sense on the second stone platform to find the invisible floating platforms. The third stone platform has both. Drop a clockwork bomb on the pressure pad, then use Shrink Sense to find your way across the invisible platforms. Jump forward one platform, then jump forward to a second platform to find a bottle in the distance.
Walk back to the grave yard and enter the opened gate. Before entering the door at the end, shrink yourself to reveal a keyhole on the left wall. The other end leads to a few invisible platforms. Walk up and across them to reach a memory on the top of a stone platform. It's entitled, "Wisdom of the Ages." Jump off the platform and continue down the main path.
The end of the main path has a mushroom to send you to the Carpenter and the Walrus. Before jumping on it, smash some white coral near a door on the right. Inside are a few teeth in treasure chests. Now jump on the mushroom.

Exciting new research has come out about the amazing benefits of having a doula. We have long known that having a trained doula present at birth leads to many beneficial outcomes, such as less use of pain medication, less use of Pitocin to induce or augment labor, greater number of spontaneous vaginal deliveries and fewer assisted deliveries and cesareans, better success with breastfeeding, and higher satisfaction with the birth experience. Previously, results have shown about a 30% reduction in cesarean rates with a doula present, but the newest research more than doubles these findings. This research is presented in American Journal of Managed Care in August 2014. Their study surveyed over 2400 women who noted whether they had received doula care, wanted doula care but did not receive it, and those who did not have and did not want/didn't know about doulas. Only 6% used a doula but their outcomes in reducing number of cesareans were substantially higher; in the other groups the rates of cesarean deliveries were consistent with the national average around 30%. They found that women who utilized a trained doula showed a reduction in medically-necessary cesareans by 60% (which includes such things as breech presentation, placenta problems, fetal distress, and maternal health conditions) and as much as 80% in non-medically necessary cesareans (which includes such reasons as a prior cesarean, long labor, being past the due date, provider's fear of a big baby or narrow pelvis, or mother's fear of labor/birth)! In their words, "Doula support was associated with a nearly 60% reduction in odds of cesarean delivery and 80% lower odds of nonindicated cesarean delivery, compared with not having doula support." Based on these findings, the writers acknowledge the great benefit of having a doula present for continuous labor support. Not only does it lead to better outcomes and higher satisfaction, but it is a worthwhile financial benefit. Cesarean births cost on average $10,000 more than vaginal births, so the cost of hiring a doula is well worth the investment. They suggest that insurance companies should recognize the potential cost-savings that is rendered from using a doula and should start covering doula services. See the full article here.
How exactly does a doula help lower your risk of needing a cesarean delivery? Stay tuned for Part II.

Bourjois Paris Ombre A Paupieres UK Colors
Yesterday I was telling you about an obscenely large package my mate Shaz sent me! Here's something that was inside!
Bourjois Paris Ombre A Paupieres in Jaune Pepite 21, Orange Pepite 23, and Ocre Pepite 24
GASP! How gorgeous are these!? They are so much more vibrant than the colors we have here in the US! We have NONE of these colors available to us here and I'm just loving every single one!
Shhh don't tell anyone I even tried the lighter and dark oranges for a blush (instead of a shadow) and they look great!
My eyes literally popped with the color when I tried these and they'll be wonderful in the Summer! As much as I love Bourjois Paris their shadows are sometimes light but these are mega pigmented!
I'm so properly chuffed I may just squeal in excitement!

Congress will spend a lot of time in 2011 looking for ways to reduce the budget deficit that is expected to reach $1.5 trillion this fiscal year. Much of the debate centers on whether to increase income (raise taxes) or reduce spending. The IRS is weighing in by trying to collect what is already owed. The so-called tax gap, which is the difference between taxes owed and those collected, was estimated to be $350 billion last year. Being able to shrink the tax gap would help narrow the budget deficit without raising taxes or cutting spending.
One area of major interest is undeclared assets of U.S. residents that are held overseas. The IRS scored a huge win in 2009 with Switzerland by forcing them to report information on accounts held by U.S. citizens. 14,700 citizens turned themselves in under a partial amnesty program. Now the IRS is turning its attention to accounts held in Asia. The Department of Justice sent letters to taxpayers with undisclosed accounts in India and Singapore advising them they were subjects of criminal investigations. The IRS is pressuring large financial institutions to provide this information. IRS Commissioner, Douglas Shulman, warned taxpayers in a recent speech "If you hold overseas assets, you must report and pay your taxes or we will be increasingly focused on finding you."
Mortgage foreclosure isn't the only problem in the housing market these days – over reporting mortgage interest is an area of concern for the IRS. Many taxpayers are reporting income that is insufficient to cover the mortgage payment required to support the interest deduction they are claiming. The inspector general estimates unpaid tax revenues of $1.4 billion due to incorrect or fraudulent mortgage interest deductions. The IRS plans a nationwide program to make greater use of mortgage data in audits this year.
The Internal Revenue Code Section 7623(a) was passed into law at the end of 2006 to help the IRS crack down on tax cheats. This section is also known as the Whistleblower rule. It provides for two types of awards, 1) 30% of the amount collected if the dispute exceeds $2 million in taxes, penalties and interest or the taxpayer's income is more than $200,000 and 2) 15% of the amount collected for amounts less than $2 million. If you decide to submit information and seek an award for doing so, use IRS Form 211. The same form is used for both award programs. The program is barely four years old but it has already attracted a lot of interest from potential informants looking to cash in on the awards.

So, no beating around the bush, I'm pretty mentally beat from this week. Between finishing up the last week of wedding prep, visiting various labs for bloodwork, moving to a new home, getting ahead of things for when I'm on my honeymoon, and staying on top of my daily responsibilities at SAPT, I'm definitely going to crash hard tonight when I finally get to sleep. Not to mention a lot of things have happened over the past month (my car rolling across a parking lot being one of them) in my life that can be summed up by this poster:
I'm kidding (kinda), given that I really do have a lot, and I mean a lot, to be thankful for. However, currently all I desire is a lollipop for my brain, so I thought that some of you may want a lollipop, too, as it's the end of the week.
This being said, this post is going to be completely random. It may not even have much to do with training, but hey, sometimes people want a healthy dose of entertainment, right? Let's get to it.
1. This is why we teach strict, dead-hang pullups performed with good form at SAPT....
...as opposed to kipping pullups, as shown in the video below. Keep your form locked in, kids:
2. Under Armour underwear is the greatest thing I've discovered since learning that the arrow next to the gas symbol tells you which side of the car the gas tank is on.
Anyway, last month I felt compelled to order the outrageously priced underwear from Under Armour, and let me tell you, it is FANTASTIC.
I mean, talk about feeling tranquil and luxurious, all day long. I'm tempted to make a quick change to our wedding registry and replace everything with under armour underwear...it's just that good. They really hit the nail on the head with that product line. Yes, they're expensive, but worth every penny.
3. I finally began training like I would train one of the athletes under our roof at SAPT.
What? What do I mean by this? Well, as counterintuitive as it may seem, even strength coaches struggle when it comes to their own programming. After all, the toughest person to program for is yourself (as I've written in the past, this is one reason why it's wise to have someone else write your program). As some of you know, I've had some pretty persistent shoulder pain, and over the last five weeks I FINALLY manned-up and trained using a similar approach that I would give one of our athletes should they be exhibiting similar symptoms.
Namely, I've taken out a LOT of the pressing volume and added in a LOT of horizontal pulling. For example, this is what my upper body session looked like this past Tuesday:
A1) Bent-Over DB Row, 5x8/side A2) Neutral-Grip DB Press, 3x6
B1) Seated Cable Row, Pronated Grip, 4x10 B2) Tempo Pushup, 3x10
C1) Cable Face Pull w/External Rotation, 2x12 C2) Anti-Rotation Press and Hold, 2x3x :10 per side
*Notice that the total "pulling" volume was 104 reps, compared to the "pressing" volume which was 48 total reps.
And what do you know? My shoulder is feeling WAY better, and I've added some much needed strength to my upper back. Funny, as things didn't get better until I stopped training like a doofus and did what I knew I should deep down all along.
4. No matter if you're a cat person or not, you have to admit this is the cutest thing you've seen all week: Yeah, I realize the some of the gents in the crowd may be screaming for me to have my man-card revoked, but I wanted to give something to the ladies in the crowd...what can I say.
5. This is what it looks like to not care, whatsoever, about what other people think of you.
This is pretty funny; thank you Ben Bruno for finding this. Maybe I'll add this exercise in for people as a warm-up before their isolation lifts:
That will do it for today. Hope this helped pass the time in your respective work place and have a great weekend!

A few days I wrote to you about the Start-Stop-Continue exercise. Its purpose is to help you discover and practice the attitudes and behaviors that are going to be most helpful to your marriage.
Cetelia and I have gone through Round 1 of this exercise for our marriage, and it led to some excitement about what we plan to do this year, as well as a foot-in-the-mouth moment by me. I'll tell you about that verbal miscue next week.
Have you done the Start-Stop-Continue exercise yet? If not, what are you waiting for?
It's simple to do, and can help make your marriage better. After all, why sabotage your love, intimacy, sex, and friendship when you don't have to?!?
Note: Even if your mate doesn't do the exercise with you, you can still do it to establish your attitudes and behaviors for your marriage.
If you've not started, read this post to see how it works.
If you have started, reply and let me know one or two things you and your mate have added to your list in the three categories. I plan to share some of Cetelia's and mine, and would like to showcase yours, also.
Have a great weekend, and I'll be back next week with a very special announcement!

You've created a dynamic business that offers unique experiences. Now you need a marketing plan that is equally innovative. Professionally filmed footage can showcase all that your business has to offer potential customers. This video will become the centrepiece of your marketing plan.
Outdoor adventure is a booming industry that brings in both local and tourist customers. Whether your business is rock climbing, white water rafting or zip lining, showcasing the awesome adventures offered through your company needs to be a priority.
The beauty of the outdoors is free and getting the professionals in to take video of this backdrop is a must. After all, you're trying to sell an outdoor adventure. You can give potential customers a taste of what they'll be getting and a visual sell is often an easier one. Take advantage of all that video marketing can do for your business.
As a customer, you may have never experienced zip lining or rafting. Having professionally shot video of what that might look like can help to dispel fear and even excite potential customers.
You have the elements of excitement within your business offerings, you have the outstanding natural backdrop and now, with professional video production, you can share it all with the world. Video can complement all of your social media outlets.
A great production company will provide professional quality video. If you are running any outdoor adventure company, it's important to include video to both your website and online media outlets such as YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. It's also worth noting that amateur video will not do. Anyone can strap on a GoPro and hit the trails, water or slopes, but it takes a professional to really showcase the experience. While a professionally made video can do wonders for your business, a poorly made one can do more harm than good.
While creating video for your business, there is more to consider than simple video production. When you hire the professionals, they will start with a plan that will fit into your marketing vision and your budget. They will consider if a script or actors are needed. All of this will be decided in the planning process. There will be pre-production, production and post-production that will include editing. They will help you to decide what story you want to tell with your video and provide all the effects needed including sound and lighting. It's a one-stop shop when you hire the professionals.
Including video in the marketing of your outdoor adventure business is an important element to your plan. Getting it right the first time is key. Professional quality video production is well worth the investment and can put your business on the map.

I have not been blogging a lot.
but I have an excuse, my weekend was crazy busy!
so friday was spent cheering my sister up (thats a long story that I'm not even going to go into)
then I woke up and it was saturday!
and saturday was also THE KENTUCKY DERBY!
and I dont know if you know this, but my family originated in Kentucky, actually I am related to the great Sir Issac Shelby who was the first and fifth Governor of Kentucky...so I'm awesome hahha
anywho I was excited
and if you didnt know, when watching the Kentucky Derby you must wear a sassy hat, and outfit in my case
so this is what I wore
Hat from Catherine's Closet
Leotard from American Apparel
Peter Max skirt from Retro City in SF
Alexander McQueen scarf from Ebay
Pink glasses from GoodWill
and my favorite flesh colored clogs
blt salad
derby pie is basically the yummiest thing ever, its like a giant cookie that is also a pie
if anyone wants the recipe let me know!
mint julips for my parents and sweet tea for me!
I voted on "derbykitten"
the odds were 34-1
she lost.
ANYWHO then the second part of my day consisted of driving out to waimanalo with three bad bitches to go to a really amazing girls 16th birthday party!
This is Keili she's been on my blog before
she's super cute and really fun
I call her "dailybear"
here are some pictures from the party,
it was really fun
Keili's grandma made the cakes, they were delish
we talked, and froliced in the rain
and the night ended with more light night rendezvouss and me returning with a new flannel and no pants on....
it was a fun night
onto Sunday, so today is mothers day
which started bright and early with an eggs benedict at Longhis
which was good
but the waitress was kind of a tool and told me to share ketchup with my sister
that pissed me off
anywho these are my parents

I love my momma sooo much
she is my best friend
she is so stylish and so fun
and we never fight and she is seriously the sweetest person to ever walk the earth.
Not to mention she is so totally gorgeous

I love you so much.
and despite the fact that I spent the rest of my day taking a 5-hour-long tiger nap,
I love you.
Please keep it sassy and tell your mothers to do the same!

Too Long Silent...
Can't believe it's been almost a full month since my last full blog post. I've been working lots and trying to come up with a sensational blog topic....thus I haven't written at all. Maybe I should settle for something ....more often than nothing at all?
Things here at the studio are humming - I'm busy with lots of panels, valances, duvet covers, roman shades, sheers and more on the way....This week I'm working on 2 story linen panels that will be mounted on medallions and roman shades that will be operated by remote controls. Fun and unique job. I hope to post pics once they are installed. Here's a post of the fabric for both - client has opted for a neutral pallet so they can change out the accessories.
The following pictures are few of the projects completed during the past month.

In order to read these words, you first need to perceive light energy with your eyes. As the light reaches your eye, your photoreceptor cells (rods and cones), bipolar cells, and ganglion cells become stimulated in a chain of electrical signals.
Okay, but at this point it is intelligible.
Your eyes also each have a split-screen running from top to bottom, so the information received on the left side of each eye perceives the left half of the world and the right side perceives the right half.
What is astounding is that the nerves from each eye's left side combine to convey a left-view of the world to the brain, and the nerves from each eye's right side combine to convey a right-view.
The image is also flipped up-side-down on your retina and right-way-up again when it reaches your visual cortex all the way at the back of your brain! It is at this point - once your visual cortex deciphers all this information - that you can begin to "see".

Thanks to reader Brandi for reminding me why I luv Southwest Airlines. Southwest has the most friendly change policies out there and you can rebook a flight at current rates for no charge- up until 10 minutes after departure. You can book and rebook to your heart's content when either your plans or the prices change.
Case in point- my flights to Orlando for FT4RL 4. I originally booked flights from DCA-MCO nonstop for 17,221 Rapid Rewards points round trip. Today I check and my flights were down to 9952 points: a whopping 7599 difference! Five minutes later I had the new rates and enough rapid rewards points in my account for a flight this summer.
To rebook, you can just log into your Southwest account, select "change flights", and you can "change" back to the exact flight you were on at the new rates. It works for cash reservations, too!
Have you benefited from any Southwest luv recently? Share your successes in the comments.

|<< Yesterday
This Day in Baseball History
31 Fact(s) Found
|At the Baker Bowl, Honus Wagner becomes the second player in the history of the game to collect 3000 hits when he doubles off Philadelphia's Erskine Mayer. Cap Anson is the only other major leaguer to amass as many hits.
|Dodger standout pitcher Rube Marquard breaks his leg running the bases, ending his season with a record of 3-3. The hard-throwing southpaw will finish his 18-year Hall of Fame career in 1925, after compiling a 201-177 record, along with an ERA of 3.08.
|Brothers and teammates Lloyd and Paul Waner each hit a home run in the same game in the Pirates' 9-6 loss to the Robins at Ebbets Field. The homers mark the second of three times Big Poison and Little Poison will accomplish the feat.
|In the eighth inning of the Senators' 8-1 victory over the Red Sox, Boston hurler Lefty Grove becomes the first pitcher in major league history to yield six doubles in one frame. The future Hall of Famer, ailing from a sore arm, gives up five consecutive two-baggers during Washington's barrage.
|At Forbes Field, umpires Tom Dunn and George Magerkurth, respectively, eject Giants manager Mel Ott from each end of a doubleheader. The usually mild-mannered skipper's protests are to little avail when his team drops both games to the Pirates, 2-1 and 5-1.
|En route to becoming the first team to draw two million fans at home, the Yankees reach the one million mark at the earliest date in major league history. The Bronx Bombers, the first team to attract one million patrons when 1,289,422 go through the Polo Grounds turnstiles in 1920, will average 29,422 fans this season, 14,000 more a game than for any previous season at Yankee Stadium.
|In eighteen innings, the Phillies beat the Pirates at Shibe Park, 4-3. The intrastate rivals both have sixteen hits in sixty-eight at bats and commit three errors, along with twenty-one assists.
|Ryne Duren, en route to fanning 11 Red Sox batters, breaks an American League mark when he records seven consecutive strikeouts in the Angels' 5-1 victory over Boston. In the second game of a twilight-night double-header at Fenway Park, the bespectacled fireballing right-hander whiffs Frank Malzone to end the first inning, and then proceeds to strike out the side in the second and third frame, sending Pete Runnels, Jim Pagliaroni, Don Buddin, Mike Fornieles, Chuck Schilling, and Gary Geiger back to the bench with their bats.
|In the first major league game ever played on a Sunday night, the Colt .45's extend the Giants' losing streak to seven games, blanking the visiting team, 3-0. Due to the extreme heat during the days of the Texas summer months, baseball grants permission for games to be played in the evening at Colt Stadium.
|Trailing 4-3 in the bottom of the seventh at Metropolitan Stadium, the Twins erupt for the first five-home run inning in American League history. Rich Rollins, Zoilo Versalles, Tony Oliva, Don Mincher, and Harmon Killebrew all go deep to give the Twins a 9-4 victory over the A's.
|Unlike its decision in April to delay the start of the season after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in Memphis, Major League Baseball lets individual teams decide if they will postpone games when Robert F. Kennedy is killed two months later by an assassin's bullet. When Houston decides to continue playing their scheduled home contests, Rusty Staub and Bob Aspromonte, both who will be traded at the end of the season, protest by benching themselves in today's 3-1 loss to Pittsburgh at the Astrodome.
|Rightfielder Rusty Staub becomes the pivot man in a very unusual double play during a 4-2 Mets victory against the Dodgers at Shea Stadium. Racing in from the outfield, 'Le Grand Orange' gets a throw near second base from first baseman John Milner and tags Davey Lopes, who was picked-off from first, and then throws home to nail Tom Paciorek trying to score from second during the P-1B-SS-1B-2B-1B-2B-RF-C rundown.
|The Mets retire Gil Hodges' number 14 in tribute to their late manager, who died of a heart attack just prior to the start of the season. In addition to leading his underdog club to a World Championship in 1969, the quiet leader also hit the first home run in franchise history, a 1962 solo shot at Busch Stadium off St. Louis right-hander Larry Jackson.
|With the score tied 3-3 and the bases loaded in the 12th inning, Garry Hancock decides to drop Pete O'Brien's long foul flyball to prevent the out from becoming a game-ending sacrifice fly. Wayne Tolleson tags up and scores the winning run for Texas when the umpires rule the left fielder had caught the ball.
|Don Sutton (298) throws a two-hit shutout, beating Tom Seaver (306) and the White Sox 3-0. The starters have the highest combined win total (604) for opposing pitchers since 1926, when Washington's Walter Johnson (406) faced Chicago's right-hander Red Faber (197) in a Griffith Stadium contest.
|The first printing of the sheet music to Take Me Out to the Ball Game sells at an auction in New York City with a bid of $2,750. The signatures of Jack Norworth, who wrote the lyrics, and Albert Von Tilzer, who set the words to music, appear on their creative work.
|Mets outfielder Darryl Strawberry hits his 200th career home run in a ten-inning, 4-3, loss to the Pirates. The six-foot, six-inch slugger will finish his 18-year major league career with 335 round-trippers.
|Eddie Murray ties Mickey Mantle's major league mark, hitting a homer from both sides of the plate for the tenth time in his career. The switch-hitting first baseman's second home run of the game, batting left-handed against Eric Show, proves to be the eventual winning run in the Dodgers' 5-4 victory over San Diego in the 11th inning at Jack Murphy Stadium.
|Oakland signs first-round pick Ben Grieve, giving the recent Arlington HS (TX) graduate a $1.2 million bonus. The 18 year-old's incentive to sign with the A's is more money than his father, Tom, also a first-round selection, earned during his dozen seasons in the majors with the Senators, Rangers, Mets, and the Cardinals.
|In the third inning of the Angels' 10-8 win over the Diamondbacks, Anaheim's Cecil Fielder and Arizona's Yamil Benitez both hit a grand slam in the Bank One Ballpark contest. It is the first time both teams hit bases-full home runs in the same inning since 1992, when Cubs infielder Ryne Sandberg and Pirates slugger Jeff King also accomplished the feat, playing at Three Rivers Stadium.
After being ejected in the 12th inning by plate umpire Randy Marsh for arguing a catcher's interference call, Bobby Valentine returns to the dugout with a fake mustache and glasses. The National League will suspend the Mets' manager for two games and fine him for using the disguise.
|At Jamsil Stadium in Seoul, Yang Jun-hyuk of the Samsung Lions becomes the first player in the 26-year history of the Korean baseball league to collect 2,000 hits. The 14-year veteran singled on a 2-1 pitch in the ninth inning, much to the delight of the 23,000 Doosan Bears fans watching the visiting outfielder reach the unprecedented milestone.
|Ken Griffey, Jr. becomes the sixth player in major league history to hit 600 career home runs. With a runner on third, Junior goes deep in the first inning on a 3-1 pitch thrown by Marlins' moundsman Mark Hendrickson in the Reds' 9-4 victory at Dolphin Stadium.
|For the first time in franchise history, the Rays hit three consecutive home runs when Evan Longoria, Willy Aybar, and Dioner Navarro all connect off Angels' southpaw Joe Saunders in the second inning of Tampa Bay's 13-4 rout in Anaheim. The feat will not occur again for the team until James Loney, Wil Myers, and Sam Fuld homer back-to-back-to-back at Tropicana Field in 2013.
|Twenty-one teams miss an opportunity to draft 17 year-old high school standout Mike Trout, who in three years will become an impact player in the American League during his rookie season. The 'Millville Meteor', selected in the first round of the Amateur Draft (25th overall) by the Angels, is most notably passed over by the Nationals and the Diamondbacks, teams that would both pick twice before Los Angeles made its first selection.
|The Diamondbacks beat Atlanta, 2-1, thanks to a bizarre two-run inside-the-park homer hit by Gerrado Parra in the eighth inning of the Chase Field contest. The decisive runs score when Nate McLouth and Jason Heyward violently collide after sprinting into the gap in left-center field trying to make the play.
|In the midst of a nine-game losing streak, the A's fire manager Bob Geren and replace him with Bob Melvin, who will serve as interim manager for the rest of the season. During his four-plus seasons at the helm, the 47 year-old former Oakland skipper compiled a 361-412 record with the team.
|Indian third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall drives in nine runs, tying a franchise record first established in 1991 by Chris James. The Cleveland infielder collects five hits, including three home runs, in the team's 17-7 rout of Texas at Globe Life Park in Arlington.
In front of a dwindling crowd, made up of mostly remaining Giants fans, Chris Heston strikes out the side in the ninth inning to finish the season's first no-hitter, a 5-0 Giants' victory over the Mets at Citi Field. The no-no thrown by the 27 year-old rookie right-hander, making just his 13th career start, is the 17th in franchise history and marks the fourth straight season the feat has been accomplished by a San Francisco hurler, with Matt Cain (2012) and Tim Lincecum (2013 and 2014) throwing complete games without yielding a hit during the past three years.
|In a span of seven pitches off Padres right-hander Craig Stammen, the Nationals become the ninth team in baseball history to hit four consecutive home runs in one inning en route to a 5-2 victory at Petco Park. Howie Kendrick, Trea Turner, Adam Eaton, and Anthony Rendon provide the eighth-inning back-to-back-to-back-to-back homers for Washington, who also accomplished the feat in 2017.

Raised in Chattanooga, for 18 years Chris Newby was a high ranking member of one of the most violent gangs in Chattanooga and America, the Vice Lords. Working with him is Reginald Peck, a former member of the Bloods. They have created a weekly mentor program through Fathers to the Fatherless for what Orchard Knob, Tyner, and Brainerd call their most high risk students. They have 20 students at each of the schools- half boys and half girls. Meeting for 1 hour during the school day every week for the whole school year they are running programs on conflict resolution, negotiation skills, self confidence, positive collaboration and communication.
Sounds pretty amazing, right? What do they need? Books. We will be purchasing 4 books for each student. These aren't just any books, these are relevant and highly sought after books (we know because one of our trustees is a librarian). On the docket to read is The Skin I'm In, Tears of a Tiger, Monster, and Bronx Masquerade. The goal? To create a love for reading that comes from books chosen just for them.

There's a new song on Christian Radio called "Jesus Saves" by Jeremy Camp. I was listening to it the other day and I thought to myself, you know, this rings true, especially for people who are broken and want to be saved, but the thing is, these people who know they need a Savior already know Jesus--they don't need to be told that He saves.
The challenge we have, then, is telling people who do not know Jesus this key fact: We are fallen; we are broken; we need a Savior.
I know plenty of people who go through life not really living as Christians, and they will tell you they are perfectly happy in their self-centered world. Why would they need God?
Jesus Saves, yes. But let's go a little deeper than that.
Why do you need a Savior?
