All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, right?
I posted yesterday about Visual Supply Company's new preset pack, Film 03. I have to say, every time they release something new, it feels like my birthday. I love getting to play with their presets, find new favorites, and see what new range I have to run with. To be honest, I really don't like editing. If you know me, you know that. Most photographers don't! We like shooting, visualizing, planning, and then we like the end result. It's somewhere in the middle that becomes really hard to be excited about. But VSCO has really made editing feel like a little bit of Play with how unique and tight their presets are, and I totally love them for it.
I know you're like, what's so special about another film pack? Film 03 is really based on instant films (a little more about it here); it has presets based on both professional and consumer grade instant films, as well as a tool kit that has settings like Old Lens and clarity down, to give it that good old fashioned plastic lens feel. ;) I processed this shoot we did a couple months ago with the lovely Courtney (her blog here!) and fell in love with this look of imagining I did the entire shoot with instant film. I love that it is pushing my creative boundaries with my editing looks.
Have you gotten it and played around with it yet? Anyone have any favorites so far? ;)

Suddenly, a voice, which Faith knew was Apollyon's, cried out in an evil way," Oh, my friends, you shall not die, oh, no, if you only pay a very small price....."
"Mother, he's just outside the cave!" cried Faith, throwing her arms around Mother.
Joshua, suddenly interested, exclaimed "Oh, what price shall I pay?"
Apollyon answered slyly, "You can have riches, peace, food, and a beautiful home if you simply give me your smallest child, Virginia."
"Never will I hand her to you, Apollyon! Get out of my sight!" Father cried.
Apollyon laughed and said," I shall leave for now my dear friends, but you shall see me soon." Faith heard his wings flapping and his evil laugh as he flew away. Then she buried her head in Mother's lap.
Justice sat up from his blanket on the floor. "What is that noise?" He thought, standing up. "It sounds like a cry! Why, it's Virginia crying! But she sounds so far away." Justice ran to the entrance of the cave and yelled," Virginia, Virginia!" The cry was gone now. He looked where Virginia slept. She was gone.
Liberty peeked out of the cave and tried to choke back her sobs. Virginia was gone. Everyone in the cave knew Apollyon had her somewhere. Apollyons' footprints had been seen that morning and there was smoke from his breath also. Liberty would probably never see that sweet little face again. "Unless.......we searched and found her." thought Liberty, staring out of the cave,"Father and Mother wouldn't let us go out were Apollyon could get us. Oh, why did Virginia ever have to be taken?" Liberty cried, and then she turned and sat by the fire.
"Father and Mother won't like it, Joshua. Why don't we just wait 'till Father finds us some food and he can leave be himself? " Liberty asked, whispering, because she didn't want to wake her parents.
"Listen, Liberty, who knows when Father is going to find food? We need to find Virginia NOW, before Apollyon does something to her!" Joshua said.
"I don't like the thought of running away to find Virginia. It's disobeying our parents! Besides it's awful cold outside and we don't have food!
As you can see, I changed it up a little. Like the dragon's name and some other stuff.

Working Beyond the Rules/
Hello again! Today I'm sharing an oldie but goodie about the need for us to work beyond the rules. It's a short post, but an important reminder for many of us. Keep an eye out for new material post-vacation next week! Until then...
I don't know about you, but the transition to Autumn always feels so exciting and transformative to me.
In Oregon, the school year would always start around this time, and I remember feeling giddy about all of the new opportunities that another year would provide: new school supplies with which to express myself ("But what does the unicorn notebook really say about me?"), new seating charts, new pictures, the chance to learn and grow in new ways.
I feel that newness now as an adult, and I think this season challenges us to think beyond what happened last year, beyond the rules, beyond how things are typically done. We can choose to cling to the boundaries that are outlined for us or expand our view. David Whyte has such a beautiful -- and powerful -- quote about this subject:
In building a work life, people who follow rules, written or unwritten, too closely and in an unimaginative way are often suffocated by those same rules and die by them, quite often unnoticed and very often unmourned.
Most of us in the workplace are already good enough at following the rules; our challenge is to continuously make sure that the rules we follow serve us and our organizations.
It's imperative that we tap into our curious selves and ask questions like Do these personnel policies contribute to the culture we want?, Does someone actually need 5 years of experience to do this job?, or Do I need more autonomy in my career?
When we get curious, we can begin to get creative and reimagine what the rules should look like so that they are servants to our needs, not our masters.
We need people in organizations who refuse to suffocate and die by the rules. We need people who are curious and brave and innovative, and we are each all of these things - it's just a matter of allowing ourselves to be this way.
Having rules and boundaries is necessary and helpful a lot of the time; but in a world of increasing bureaucracy and complexity, we have to remember that there is also a time for chaos, mystery, and the creativity that comes from breaking down boundaries.
Autumn is the season in which living matter breaks down to make way for hibernation and new, vibrant life. What better time to break down our own boundaries and make way for change?

For as long as I can remember, I've made things. My mother was a prolific knitter, sewer, card maker and cross-stitcher, and my childhood was filled with beads, glitter, Play-Doh, pipe cleaners and other assorted craft materials. I remember loving the sense of escape I got when I would make things. The feeling of achievement, of being 100% absorbed in something, and of escaping from the everyday was so wonderful and intoxicating.
After I left home and started working, I kept up my habit, trying out pretty much any type of craft – you name it, I've done it, from candle making to screen printing, lino cuts, pottery, jewelry, macrame, embroidery, glass painting and crochet. I've never met a craft I didn't like, and I never had a favourite, although I'd have an intense love affair with each one for a short time (often including making and selling items), until I got bored and tried something new.
My craft challenge has been to learn to let go of the need to make things look like they came out of a store, and embrace randomness and accident. I've always judged myself far more harshly than anyone else has, so if my crafts didn't look 'shop-worthy' I'd reject them and give myself a stern talking-to about my lack of skill. And then I'd stop doing that craft completely. Like a lot of people, I'm my own worst enemy at giving myself permission to just play, and not to think of craft as success or failure, or as a competitive sport.
Something else I've always loved is travel – coming from New Zealand, every other country is so very far away, and seemed so unreachable and exotic. I especially remember poring over Vogue and other fashion magazines, and loving all the glossy ads, especially when they were for stores on Fifth Avenue. To me, that was the epicentre of glamour, and I would think; wow, if I could walk down Fifth Avenue one day, I will know I've made a success of my life. I got that opportunity in 1987, when I won a radio competition to go to New York and watch the world premiere of Leonard Part 6 (truly the worst film ever made, starring Bill Cosby as a detective who could talk to animals). The prize included airport limousine pick-up thanks to Colombia Pictures, a walk down the red carpet, and meeting Bill Cosby at a star-studded premiere at the Hilton, which to my 18-year-old small-town self was truly mind-blowing. That week in December cemented my life-long love affair with the Big Apple, even though strolling down Fifth Avenue wasn't the life-changing experience I'd expected… (Are those women hookers? Did that guy just try and sell me drugs? Why is there trash on the ground?).
But still, the energy of the city spoke to me in a way I'll never forget. I felt so alive – like a better, cooler version of myself, and I wanted more. That trip actually set me on the path to being a graphic designer and wanting so much more from my life.
It would be another 27 years until I returned to New York for the inaugural 2014 Sweet Paul Makerie. In that time I'd worked at a top ad agency, started my own business, lost 100 pounds and moved to Australia. At the time I saw the Makerie advertised online I was having a mid-life crisis – not knowing what the next chapter of my life would look like and rapidly coming up on 50 with no partner, no children and no plans. I'm not a huge believer in astrology, but I've always thought it was pretty apt I'm a Pisces – I swim from one side of the bowl to the other and back again, getting distracted by whatever is in front of me and not planning for the future (I wish I was different, but I'm not, so I'm just going to own it!).
The Makerie had everything I loved. Craft (but the super-stylish kind that looks like you'd sell it in a design store). New York City. Glamour. Spontaneity. And most importantly, tax-deductibility. "It's work-related" my accountant said. "You're a designer, and you'll be designing things". I booked a ticket immediately, and started counting down the days. It's so hard to put the experience into words, because it was so magic. From walking into the beautifully decorated Hudson Yards venue to the final farewell and goodie bag, it was everything I was hoping for and more. Meeting both of the Pauls, Ali and Krissa, and making some great friends I will have in my life forever – it was more than worth the 30 hours of travelling time to get there.
How much did I love it? I came back again in 2015, and in 2016 (my great friend Jonas came that year from Australia as well, and loved it as much as I did). And after the 2016 Makerie I didn't go back to Australia, I moved to London to see if I could make a new life for myself there. It's been 10 months now, and it's going pretty well. I miss my craft stash, because I sold literally everything I owned except for two suitcases of clothes. Oh, and I also brought the cookie cutter I made in Patti's class, paper flowers from Elise's class, printed stationery from Lotta's class, the weaving from Janelle's class, stitched flower from Ann's class, embroidery from Adriana's class, paper cutting from Elsa's class and my silk scarf from Terrain's class. Plus all the beautiful memories I made, especially of the kindness, generosity and warmth of everyone who I crafted with.
I'm trying not to buy lots of new things to replace everything I sold, so I can live light and move easily, but I still get pangs of desire whenever I see beautiful wool, fabrics, beads and ribbons – once an addict, always an addict! I've joined the London Craft Club and get my thrills there, but it ain't New York. Unfortunately I can't come to this year's Makerie but I know I'll be back another time to recapture the magic and I can't wait.

Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter said in the issue's letter: 'We would have needed two issues to fully capture the breadth and strength of the British invasion. These are the people who invented the English language after all, and at no time does it come so alive as when they are speaking it. They certainly do better American accents than U.S. actors do British ones.'
Annie Leibovitz has photographed every Hollywood Issue cover, but three, since the first issue in 1995. The new issue will be available in digital editions and on national newsstands on February 5.

Blog: Do Things For Your Future Self
I have never one time regretted working out, getting a check mark on something I'm avoiding, or facing off with a relationship issue, even though several times I have not wanted to move off the comfort of the warm cozy feeling I created in my spot in life.
I do a decent job of taking care of other people. I want to be mindful of taking care of myself. I try to think of what I will be grateful for ahead of time & do it now to be better for myself down the road. I'm ALWAYS happy when I plant & water the right seeds for myself because whatever it is that we plant & water eventually bears fruit. I want to plant the right seed & work to help the right things grow!

I am learning that to know where we're headed, we first have to know where we came from. This means, too, that we find out where we went wrong in the first place. No one has to be convinced that something went wrong somewhere in the bodies and beauty department. Stand in a grocery aisle and figure out how to beat those pesky inches, woo your disinterested man, and find more perfect clothes for perfect bodies. Something has gone wrong. So where?
It was at a tree. A food laden tree. Something good, beautiful, and delectable gone horribly wrong.
The beginning of beginnings, Genesis, where food was made and food was eaten and where all of our food issues began.
Strange, isn't it, that one of our principles struggles is still there? With food?
We starve from it, binge on it, measure it out, disgust ourselves with it, pride ourselves on it, obsess over recipes, and TIVO our favorite cooking shows. Rarely do we see food as the perfect provision and perfect protection that it was designed to be. Provided for our health; protection from death.
God created food: a perfect provision for His creation.
Then He clearly defined it as right or wrong: a perfect protection for his children. He set up His boundaries, endlessly good ones that felt good too, until they bumped up against the one 'don't' rule: don't eat of this tree.
And this is the tree she ate from. First the woman and then the man.
Ignoring the plenty and subversively skirting the mandate by a subtle legalism, "God says don't eat of it AND don't touch it," she fell the boundaries that God so lovingly placed on her and him and all of us.
Don't we do this too?
Don't we see the plenty and choose instead the smaller portion, the lesser good? We add to the boundaries given. Sinking deeply into diets or delectable feasts, feeling helpless against the siren call that is food.
God calls out: Where are you?
And we hide, behind exercise, behind enhancement, behind extra weight. We hide.
We hide because it is easier to hide than to be known. We've eaten off the tree of knowledge and now we think we know.
Yet still He seeks us. Pursues us. Finds us, shivering and scratching under the weight of man-made garments and expectations. I'm there. Are you too?
An all this because we added to what God said. He gave good boundaries and we made them smaller and tighter, thinking that more rules will keep us safer. God has said don't eat of the fruit, but we think that it's safer to just not touch it at all?
This is our great sin. This is our great fall. We add to what God has said and the boundaries become cages. We imagine He is a harsher God than He is.
We eat the fruit thinking it will make us like God and really all it does is make us into our own god. And we are powerless gods, always trying to find things to bulk us, beautify us, fix us.
All the while He is still giving perfect provision and perfect protection. The second time was in a much less beautiful environment. Dark, though midday, the place of the skull. A broken, bleeding, and bruised man. He is saying it is finished and we can hardly believe it is true.
So we are still adding to it. Principles. Practices. Helping God, we think, with clearer expectations on His people and on us. Don't eat it, we say, or touch it. Or surely you will die.
The truth is that we are finished. Perfect in Christ's eyes and through His provision. Nothing can be added or removed from you to make you more of who you're intended to be in God.
He looks on you and sees clean, pure, perfect righteousness and beauty.

Former KCTV-5 anchor Karen Fuller files age and gender discrimination lawsuit
A former news anchor for KCTV-5 in the Kansas City area is suing the station's owner for age and gender discrimination.
Karen Fuller filed suit Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Kansas City, Kan., against the Meredith Corporation, owner of the station based in Fairway.
Fuller alleges in the suit that the company has created an "age ceiling" for its female anchors but not for male anchors.
"Women age out in their mid- to late 40s," the lawsuit alleges. "The company does not enforce the same age-related job requirement for male prime time anchors."
A call to Meredith headquarters in Iowa seeking comment was not immediately returned Wednesday afternoon.
Fuller was was hired in 2003 to co-anchor for the station's prime time newscasts, according to her suit.
Throughout her employment, the suit says that she never received any type of verbal or written warning about her job performance, and was never told that her job was in jeopardy.
Her contract was "repeatedly" renewed. But in January 2015, with her contract up for renewal that April, she was terminated at the age of 47 "without prior warning, cause or legal justification," according to the suit.
"In the eyes of Meredith Corporation, women news anchors like Ms. Fuller, unlike their male counterparts, simply become too old to deliver the news," she alleges in the lawsuit.
Her last day at the station was Feb. 25, 2015. She asked station management to allow her a few seconds during the final broadcast at 10 p.m. to thank viewers.
But after the 6 p.m. newscast that night, Fuller was met by management and told she needed to leave the building, according to the suit.
"The company's strong-arm behavior assaulted her dignity, cast aspersion on Ms. Fuller's many years of hard work, professionalism, and loyalty to her job, and took away Ms. Fuller's ability to say goodbye to co-workers, friends and viewers," the suit alleges.
The suit seeks an unspecified amount in damages.
Earlier this year, a reporter with another Kansas City television station filed a discrimination lawsuit, which is pending.
Lisa Benson Cooper, who goes by Lisa Benson, filed suit against KSHB-41, alleging race discrimination.
In 2008, Kelly Eckerman, Peggy Breit and Maria Albisu-Twyman, who goes by Maria Antonia, filed suit against KMBC-9 in Kansas City also alleging gender and age discrimination. Court records show that the action was dismissed by mutual agreement in 2010.

This factsheet explains when you can get early access to superannuation.
Can I access my superannuation benefits?
Your superannuation is generally preserved until you retire from the workforce. A person's preservation age ranges from 55 to 60, depending on their date of birth. (Visit the Australian Taxation Office website for more information on the preservation age). However, subject to the rules of your superannuation fund, early release of preserved superannuation benefits is permitted in some circumstances. These are discussed below.
How do I qualify to access my superannuation?
In order to qualify for early access to superannuation, the trustee of your superannuation fund must be satisfied that you meet one of the following tests.
Severe financial hardship
Requirements for demonstrating severe financial hardship vary between superannuation funds; you should apply directly to your fund for details.
Usually, to be eligible under this test your superannuation fund must be satisfied that:
if you are below your preservation age, you have received eligible Commonwealth income support payments for a continuous period of 26 weeks;
you are still receiving the payments on the date you obtain a letter from Centrelink or the Department of Veterans' Affairs stating this; and
you are unable to meet reasonable and immediate family living expenses.
If your superannuation fund is satisfied that you meet these criteria and agrees to release your superannuation early, you may obtain a one-off payment of between $1,000 and $10,000 in any one 12-month period. If you have less than $1,000 in superannuation, you may access the whole amount. Please note that there may be tax consequences if you seek to access your superannuation early.
To support your application, you can ask for a confirmation letter from any Centrelink office or you can contact Centrelink directly. The confirmation letter is only valid for 21 days. Alternatively, you can authorise your superannuation fund to check your eligibility using Centrelink's Customer Confirmation eService.
Early release of superannuation may have an impact on the benefits you or your partner receive from Centrelink. The fund trustee may charge you fees for the early release, and the money released may also be taxed.
Eligible income support payments
Not all social security or family support payments qualify as Commonwealth income support payments. The following benefits are excluded:
Family Tax Benefits;
Child Care Benefits;
Youth Allowance (full-time study);
Abstudy Benefits;
Austudy Benefits.
In general, other income support supplements, service pensions, social security pensions or social security benefits should qualify. Centrelink can tell you whether your payments comply.
Centrelink and the Department of Veterans' Affairs provide standard letters which verify to your superannuation fund that you have received the appropriate payments for the required time. Letters are no longer valid after 21 days from the date on them.
In receipt of payments on the date of letter
You must still be receiving the payments on the date of the letter from Centrelink or the Department of Veteran Affairs.
Unable to meet family living expenses
If you have received support payments for the required time, you must then show that you are 'unable to meet reasonable and immediate family living expenses'. Please note that early release can only be for unpaid expenses. If you used a loan or a credit card, or borrowed money from family or friends to pay the expense, it is considered paid, and the eligibility requirement for early access has not been met.
Ultimately, whether you can be regarded as being unable to meet your family living expenses is a decision for the trustee of your superannuation fund. Most superannuation funds have a form and statutory declaration that they will require you to fill in to show your financial circumstances.
In order to make this decision, your superannuation fund will probably request details of your family income, your assets and your expenses.
Aged over preservation age
An alternative entitlement to early access exists if you:
have reached preservation age (between 55 and 60, depending on when you were born) plus 39 weeks;
have been receiving eligible Commonwealth income support payments (as described above) for a cumulative period of 39 weeks since reaching that age; and
are unemployed or employed for less than 10 hours per week.
If you satisfy these tests there is no need for the trustee to enquire into your financial circumstances and there is no limit to the amount of superannuation that may be released.
Other circumstances
There are some other circumstances where you will be able to access your superannuation early. These include:
if you have certain medical expenses (including if you need modifications to your home or vehicle due to a severe disability);
the need to make mortgage repayments to prevent your mortgagee from selling your home;
if you or a dependant require palliative care; or
for the payment of funeral expenses of a dependant.
You will only be able to access your superannuation on these grounds if you could not afford to meet the expense without some or all of your superannuation.
Temporary or permanent disability may also be grounds for seeking access to superannuation in some circumstances.
You may also access your superannuation if your preserved benefit is less than $200 (if your employment has been terminated) and your superannuation account is no longer active.
Applications on these grounds must be made to the Commonwealth Department of Human Services. More information, including application forms, can be found on their website.
Please note that even if you obtain approval from the Department of Human Services, your superannuation fund will only release those benefits it is entitled to release under its own rules.
What if I don't know where my superannuation is?
The Australian Taxation Office keeps a Lost Members Register. This can be searched online via the Australian Taxation Office's website or by calling 13 28 61.
Need further assistance?
For more information on early release of superannuation benefits, please contact the Commonwealth the Department of Human Services on 1300 131 060.
Changes to the identification and consolidation of lost superannuation have been implemented as part of the Government's SuperStream reforms. These include the automatic consolidation of inactive accounts and a modified superannuation enrolment process to facilitate the identification of lost superannuation and the consolidation of superannuation funds.
For more information about tracking and consolidating your superannuation, visit the Australian Securities and Investments Commission Money Smart website.

The color of the word 'thug'
"Thug" is a loaded term in this nation.
I am not against the use of the word, but context is everything. Being called a "thug" should be a colorblind term.
It is not. the word is used to make perpetrators more menacing and to rationalize the deaths of too many young African American men.
So rarely is the term applied to whites behaving badly — and even more infrequently to a white victim of violence — that it's hard to escape the racial connotation behind the cable TV commentators and politicians who invoke it so readily.
It's no wonder so many African Americans suspect "thug" has become a politically correct but unmistakable racial slur.
Many have likened its use to the "n-word" including Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman and Baltimore Councilman Carl Stokes who explained this to CNN's Erin Burnett on a live broadcast. It has even been used by President Obama and Baltimore's Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake to describe the rioters.
The word is much older however, dating back to the 14th century in India from the Hindi word thuggee or tuggee meaning "deceiver" or "thief."
"Thuggee" was the name for a group of assassins that operated on India's main roads who killed and robbed travellers of their valuables. The British later used the term "thugs" broadly to refer to everyone involved in race riots to soccer fans.
In 1897, the word found its way into American culture first through Mark Twain in his book, "Following the Equator: A Journey Around the World."
Since then, it has grown in popularity and was co-opted by slain hip-hop legend Tupac Shakur in the 1990s, who defined a "thug" as someone who came from a oppressive background and little opportunity, but was still able to make a life for themselves and were proud. Shakur coined the phrase "thug life" as an acronym for "This Hate U Gave Lil' Infants F— Everybody."
For example, Mike Brown was labeled a thug after he was shot by a police officer in Ferguson, Mo. So was Tamir Rice, Eric Garner, Walter Scott, and Freddie Gray — to name four other African Americans who died at the hands of police. The term was employed liberally to describe the rioters in Baltimore this week. However, the white rioters after the University of Kentucky team lost the Final Four loss did not receive the same stigma.
The next time you call someone a "thug," make sure you're using it as an equal-opportunity pejorative.

Hiking in Painted Canyon, Mecca, CA
Canyons are one of our favorite places to hike (especially slot canyons) and we were thrilled when JF found out about this place, an hour from our campground. There is something exhilarating about scrambling over rocks, squeezing between rocks and even climbing up and down precarious ladders. The last time we were in a canyon was two years ago, in Utah. Our friends had never experienced a hike in a slot canyon before and it was so fun to share that wonderful moment with them. Children and adults alike exclaimed at each turn. Some parts required quite a bit of teamwork to get through!

Here we are, starting our fourth year of school! How crazy is that?! After dreaming of having our own space, our own dedicated school, that dream has come true! We started our first day of class today in the new school. It is looking so good! There are still some detail things that we will work on as we go, but today we had everything we needed and more to get started. I will be posting an actual in-depth tour of the school soon!
After welcoming the kids to the new school, we started the morning as we usually do - with prayer and studying of God's Word.
After Bible, Nicole started with the next level of English lessons. The plan is to have these kids having full conversations in English by the end of the school year!
|Senor Austin
After English comes math....
|Very interesting lessons!
And our traditional first-day-of-school pictures...
|"Boys! SMILE!"
|...and the teachers!

Equity markets shrugged off weak economic data and uncertainty in recent weeks and continued to extend their "relentless" gains fueled by the prospect of further stimulus, leaving them more vulnerable to shocks, the Bank of International Settlements (BIS) said on Monday.
The bank, which acts as a hub for the world's central banks, said markets are "under the spell of monetary easing" and warned that increasingly accommodative monetary easing has helped market participants to "tune out" signs of a global growth slowdown.
(Read More: BIS Lays Out 'Simple' Plan for How to Handle Bank Failures)
Indices were lifted to fresh highs off the back of further policy easing, despite a "spate of negative economic news," but such rapid gains have made equity markets increasingly vulnerable, the BIS said.
The BIS also said this "new phase" of monetary easing has helped create an environment that favors risk taking.
"This new phase of monetary policy accommodation in the major currency areas spilled over to financial markets around the world. With yields in core bond markets at record lows, investors turned to lower-rated European bonds, emerging market paper and corporate debt to obtain yield," the report said.

StampingStamping is a technique where you use pre-designed images, polish and a stamp to decorate your nails. A brand that is well known for offering stamping products is Konad but other brands like Essence and Herôme have also added stamping products to their assortment.
What do you need?- Stamp
- Scraper / Plastic Card
- Imageplates
- (Special) Polish
StampA stamp is needed to pick up the design from the imageplate. There are small stamps, larger stamps and double sided stamps. Most (starter) sets contain the smaller stamp and it is a good stamp to begin with. You can always buy a different stamp later when you're not feeling the smaller one.
Scraper / Plastic CardA scraper isn't necessary and, to me, not even worth buying. Most (starter) sets contain a metal scraper and this one can damage your plate, it scratches it. Polish floods in these scratches and that can make your design less neat. And not only that, it's also a pity to see pretty shiny plates with scratches. Instead of a metal scraper you can use an old plastic card or buy a plastic scraper.
ImageplatesImageplates are metal plates with designs pressed it in. Most plates have about six or seven designs on them but this variates. There are full nail designs and smaller images available and the theme of the plates can be anything from flowers to animals to tribals: Everyone has something for their liking when it comes to imageplates! If you're starting with stamping and don't want to buy a starters kit I'd start with two or three plates just to see if you like it. You can always expand your stash later!
(Special) PolishThe reason I put the word 'Special' between brackets is that you don't need special polish to stamp. In fact, there are a lot of regular polishes that work just as well! However, most regular polishes aren't that pigmented as the special polishes and therefor they dry a lot quicker. When you are a stamping beginner I think it's smart to buy one or two special polishes, just to get the feeling. Konad offers special polishes and they come in three sizes: 5ml, 10ml and 12ml.
Fauxnad?!Faux means fake, imageplates that aren't manufactured by Konad are often named Fauxnad. This doesn't mean the imageplates are of a lesser quality but there are some differences between Konad and Fauxnad plates: Fauxnad is larger and has bigger designs but no backing which means that the edges of the imageplates are sharp. Fauxnad plates can show some flaws such as a cut off edge but this doesn't affect the quality of the design. Keep in mind some people find it more difficult to use Fauxnads for stamping, if it doesn't work for you the first time it might work the next time.
Webshops that offer stamping productsOC Nail Art
Bundle Monster (via Amazon)
Chez Delaney
Boozyshop is working on her new webshop(!) - will be open again on September 1.
Pfew, this was part one. The next part will follow very soon! :-) I hope I helped some of you and let me know if you have questions or suggestions. Have a nice day!

Schools from Michigan occupy a quarter of the 2014 Elite 8.
Both Michigan State and the University of Michigan have occupied the top 5 in College Basketball's myriad rankings at some point this year and are slightly more likely than the field to make it to Dallas for next weekend's Final Four.
I won't say it's great for the state—in the long run, kids playing for free for the major moneymaking entities attached to public research universities isn't going to get GM hiring again or pull back generations of expats who left for Texas, the Bakken or places where you aren't likely to find a dead body half-frozen into a pothole.
But, it's a boost during an especially dreary winter, and who doesn't like seeing home-state kids pound on southerners and effete coastal types?
Wait, even that narrative stands on shaky ground.
MSU and UM both lean heavily on out-of-state players to get the job done these days, with only two of five starters composing the teams' starting lineups hailing from the Great Lakes State.
Under Big East-import John Beilein, Michigan has drastically veered away from its in-state recruiting: just three Wolverines call the eponymous state home. Michigan State's Tom Izzo has kept the cupboard stocked with in-state players, but his main playing group consists heavily of Indiana and Ohio kids. Neither team's stars—Michigan's Nik Stauskas and MSU's Adreian Payne and Gary Harris—hail from Michigan, a drastic departure from just 16 years ago.
You're a national audience, so let's run down Michigan's Mr. Basketballs from 1997-2001: Shane Battier, Dane Fife, Jason Richardson, Marcus Taylor and Kelvin Torbert. It's not the most auspicious list, true enough, but you've got two decade-plus NBA vets in Battier and Richardson and names familiar to national college hoops fans in Fife and Taylor.
The last five years… well: Keith Appling, Dwaun Anderson, Matt Costello, Monte Morris and Deshaun Thrower. Appling and Costello both play for MSU; Appling starts and is considered a potentially NBA draftee with flaws. Anderson is playing for somewhere called Wagner, Morris is serviceable for Iowa State and Thrower—this year's Mr. Basketball, is headed to the august parquet at Stony Brook.
The fact is, the state which produced the Hall of Fame likes of Magic Johnson, George Gervin and Dave DeBusschere; the solid career likes of Steve Smith, Glen Rice, Chris Webber and Dan Majerle; the long-time vet likes of Kenyon Martin, Richardson and Morris Peterson, just doesn't have a very full cupboard any more.
Even the in-state little brother in this year's tournament—MAC Champion Western Michigan, bounced in the first round—features a roster less than half-loaded with Michigan-born talent.
It's not like in-state kids are flocking in droves for other top-flight universities. There are five Michiganders playing elsewhere in the Sweet 16—Kentucky's James Young is probably the only one who could crack a starting lineup at either of the Great Lakes state schools. It's a far cry from the year 1999-when five state schools—MSU, UM, Western, Eastern and the University of Detroit—made the tournament almost solely on the backs of in-state talent.
Exported, future-NBA Michigan guys were everywhere—Battier at Duke, Udonis Haslem at Florida and Ira Newble at Miami (Ohio).
Maybe the state is in an athletic downswing—these things can ebb and flow, and good athletes tend to push each other to greatness, as the core of Michigan's Fab-5 did as Detroit schoolboys and the heart of Michigan State's 2000 title team did as prep competitors in Flint.
Michigan's population has continued to grow at well below the national average, and certainly below the average of those states in the Sun Belt.
It's in a definite ebb right now—at one point talent was imported to complement rosters, now it's there to fill them out.

Ah, now, this is more like it.
I think we're all used to Reed using his body to break somebody's fault, but normally he's stretched out between, say, a couple of lampposts to provide him something to brace against. Here, he does his best Great A'tuin impersonation (go check out the concept of the Discworld for an explanation behind that reference), using his own limbs for bracing.
Not that's he's stretched them out at all, meaning that the area of his body that Ben is about to crash into is at most a foot off the ground. I hope Reed is very, very rigid...

Mediterrenean diet, science claims to be good for you. It was not cause of the olive oil:
Trans- fats are dangerous because there not common in nature. The cis conformation of an unsaturated fat is the normal condition (see picture).
The lipids (fats) in your membrane concists of saturated and CIS unsaturated fats, there is no meant use for trans- fats.When their highly build into your membranes they change the permeability of them. So the cells don´t funktion the way they should.
- coronary heart disease because trans fats rises the BAD LDL cholesterol
- alzheimer´s disease
- cancer
- diabetes
- obesity
- liver disfunktion
- and others
Trans fats are everywhere where:
a) unsaturated fats (liquid at room temperature) are chemicaly hydrogened into unsaturated fats (trans fats are the byprodukts of this reaction). --> keep away hydrogened fats
b) when plant oils are heated (espacially where plant oils are kept on high temperature for a log time) they´re formes. Trans fats decreases by the temperature and time of the heated PLANT oil. Best example deep fried stuff like fries. EVERY SINGLE DEEP FRIED PRODUKT as well as baked goods (they use plant oils a lot becaus it´s cheap) contains trans fats. --> keep away of deep fried (!) things and at least decrease industrialiezed baked goods
not exactly. Your right saturated fats are much more stable than unsaturated fats.
Saturated fats; solid at room temperature: coconut oil, all animal oils, palmoil,etc
Unsaturated fats;oils; liquid at room temperature: olive oil, grape seed oil, conola oil, etc
(now´s the big but...) BUT most saturated fats aren´t good for your health either espacially when their from animal.
It´s not optimum to cook with oil but there´s one phrase we have in germany "there´s one death you gotta die" it means you can´t possibly do everything right, So do the best you can.
So my attemp do do as healthy as possible with this matter are these steps:
1. throw away EVRY oil except olive oil and coconut oil. There the best mong all.
2. use as little oil as possible by spraying your pans with oil
3. use oil sparingly, try out new ways of cooking like frying in liquids (water, broth, wine,...), simply steam your vegetable or use your oven.
4. use whole fats like avocados, olives and most importantly: nuts and nut purees(without added, salt, sugar or oil) as a source of healthy fats, there whole and delicous ;). BUT most nuts contain a lot of omega 6 fats. Therefore you have to keep the balance by adding flaxseed or chia seeds to your diet. BUT DON`T HEAT THEM. (exception is an vegan egg where you use those as a component, but the healthy fats get "lost" that way). You should one to three serving omega 6 rich nuts (all nuts and seeds with the exception of flaxseeds and chia seeds) and one serving of omega 3 rich seeds (flax, chia) daily. One serving equals 1 tablespoon.
This last information is the most important of all, some plant based dietition lack these information or they don´t emphasize on it so much. But it is really important to have a daily omega 3 source, because it´s vital for our bodies.
I hope it was an informative post

Valentine's Day Makeup/
Happy Valentine's Day to all! I know that a lot of people see today as being ~super tacky~. Which is so understandable. I'm totally against the traditional "guy gives his girlfriend flowers and chocolates and a diamond necklace bc it's the 14th day of the 2nd month" Valentine's Day. Blegh. Not my style, and not my boyfriend's either. I look at today as more of an opportunity to take a step back from the craziness of your day-to-day life and remember to show some love & appreciation to those in your life who deserve it! My boyfriend and I didn't do our usual for Valentine's Day this year - which is dinner or a movie - because my boyfriend has midterms tomorrow. Instead, we did a card exchange and a very small prezzie exchange (he got me a little stuffed dog and I surprised him with 8 strategically placed funny Valentine's cards throughout the house). It's a chill night for us!
Buuuuut, I will always take any excuse to do a rosy eye look and Valentine's Day is the perfect opportunity for that! So I thought I'd share my look today with you guys. :)
- Too Faced Natural Love Palette - Honey Butter as a base, Makeup & Chill in the crease, Honeymoon on the lid
- Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation
- Maybelline Super Stay Better Skin Concealer + Corrector

How did you guys celebrate Valentine's Day?

From Utica, NY welcome Utica Club to Portland, ME!
"Uncle Charlie" is a refreshing, canned pale lager just in time for spring!
From Wikipedia:
Utica Club
Utica Club is a 5.0% abv pale lager and has 137 calories per 12 US fl oz (355 mL) serving (1,620 kJ/L); introduced in 1933 at the West End Brewing Company (today the Matt Brewing Company). It was the first beer officially sold after Prohibition.It is a minor brand in comparison to the brewery's primary line of Saranac beers. Some affectionately refer to Utica Club as "Uncle Charlie." Accordingly, Utica Club Light (UCL) has been referred to as "Uncle Charlie Lewis."
"Schultz and Dooley"
Utica Club's most famous campaign icons were a pair of talking beer steins, "Schultz and Dooley", who appeared in several popular television commercials that ran from 1959 to 1964. DDB (Doyle Dane Bernbach) copywriter David Reider created the characters and comedian Jonathan Winters supplied the voices of Schultz, Dooley, and the other beer steins that appeared in the commercials. Many Utica Club commercials depicted two characters ending the argument abruptly on ordering a Utica Club beer, leading to the jingle "It's tough to argue over an Utica Club, 'cause they put too much love into it!" Both steins were different from each other, being one was German and the other Irish. The German Shultz had a mustache and a bright chrome pickelhaube, while the Irish Dooley had red hair and a shamrock. The original steins have special markings below the handles and on the bottom to identify them from others.These original steins can go for as much as $1200.00 in today's market.The F.X. Matt Brewery released over fifty different characters since the 1990's to 2012. Now they make different characters for a different range of people to enjoy.

Aamir Khan recently visited Amitabh Bachchan on his way to Mehboob Studios where he was shooting. As Amitabh said, Aamir had dropped in to meet Big B to say just Hi. According to media reports, the two had some bad vibes few months back when Aamir Khan had a negative comment regarding Amitabh Bachchan starrer Black which is based on a deaf, blind and mute girl. In response, Amitabh also criticized Aamir's Oscar nominated movie Laagan questioning how a physically disabled person could have been shot as a Cricketer in the movie.
After those verbal conflicts, many things have been changed. Aamir Khan's recent hit Taare Zameen Par is based on a child suffering from dyslexia, one kind of psychological disease.
Sify.com reported:
When asked how their meeting went, the Big B laughed and said: "Oh, grow up. It was just a normal thing that we all do when colleagues are shooting together. He has been over to our house, Jalsa, several times. He came home recently to pay his condolences when my mother passed away and again for the chautha. He also came to invite us to see his film Taare Zameen Par."
Actually, both Aamir Khan and Amitabh Bachchan have reputation for their well-mannered behavior. So, the verbal conflict between these tow star personalities came as a little surprise to the fans of Bollywood. Now, it seems all the conflicts have been over and the two actors have turned into good friends. No doubt, Bollywood fans will also be happy with the news.

Ruben Bolton and his daughter Corrie took this year's cardboard boat challenge to a whole new level.
The duo built a boat entirely of cardboard: No duct tape; no glue; no paint.
Prior to the races at Float Your Boat on Saturday, Bolton admitted he was not sure the boat, titled "Nothing but Cardboard," would make it across Bass Pro Shops Lake. Not only did it float, it beat the competition in speed.
Nearly 50 cardboard creations set sail for The Food Bank this past weekend, raising money to help feed neighbors in need. The People's Choice Award brought in more than $8,000, while the total raised during the event is still being calculated.
For Bolton, the challenge was spiritual. The cardboard represented the purity of his beliefs. While extras such as glue and caulk may make a boat seem more equipped for the water, Bolton said he wanted to put his faith solely in the foundation.
Others participating in the sixth annual cardboard boat regatta say boat building was an exercise in teamwork.
"Definitely a lot of team building," said Lisa Matthiesen with the Centralia High School SMART program. Sixth graders in the afterschool program constructed their boat, learning math, science and engineering along the way. "It was a good learning experience."
Edward Jones of Columbia participated in Float Your Boat for the first time this year.
"We heard about it several years ago," said Laura Loomis, captain of her team's boat. "We decided to do it and jumped in with both feet."
While Edward Jones' "Rub a Dub Duckie" boat—complete with balloons and a trail of tiny ducklings—did not win its heat, it did take the "Best Use of a Theme" prize.
Environmental Dynamics International retained its People's Choice Award title, raising more than $2,000 for The Food Bank.
"Every year, this is our jam," said Sherri Redmon. "We have bake sales, fundraisers and get employees involved all across the company. They look forward to this."
EDI also had fun with its boat theme, recreating Lego Batman using cardboard costumes.
Redmon stressed that the fun is secondary to the mission of The Food Bank.
"We float their boat," she said. "They float our spirits."

An extremely rare and unique lamb with two distinct fleeces has been born in Cheshire.
The two fleeces come from its grandmothers Swaledale heritage and its grandfathers, which is Bluefaced Leicester.
Matt Bagley, sheep flock manager at Reaseheath College, said: " The lamb is the first of its type I have seen in my 25 years of working with sheep".
Mr Bagley added: "Natures wonderful, you never know what you will be gifted with next. This one lamb illustrates to all visitors and students the workings of genetics and provides a fantastic opportunity for everyone to see how unique life can be."
The flock at Reaseheath College is one of several commercial farming enterprises based on the college campus. It is used both to provide income and to give agricultural students hands-on experience of managing a top class and viable sheep unit.
The College is set amongst 330 hectares of farms, parklands, lake, woodland and sports facilities, including a golf course.
Six hectares of land are leased to Crewe Alexandra Football Club.

When should I Combine Whole and Term Life Insurance?
Whole life insurance covers you from the moment of the inception of the policy until the moment you die or cancel. This means that the earlier you can lock in a rate, the lower your payments on your whole life insurance policy are. This is great news for those of you who are in your twenties or thirties and just starting to think about things like insurance. Good for you for thinking about these things early!
Term life insurance is a policy that will expire after the term is ended. Terms can be anywhere from a year to thirty years, and these policies tend to be cheaper then whole life, making it easier to get a lot more coverage, but only for a limited time. At the end of the term, you have the choice to buy a new policy, likely at a higher rate, however you are not obligated once the original policy expires.
So what are they good for?
Term life insurance is great for periods of your life where you might need more coverage. This could be times when your children are small and require more money and effort to care for, times when .you are dealing with loan expenses like car loans or mortgages, or even times when you feel like you want to add a little extra coverage to your family's life insurance umbrella.
Whole life insurance is great to have for your entire life. If you are elderly, you will find it harder and harder to get insured, and term life insurance for the elderly means gambling that you will die before your policy runs out - no one wants to have to do that! Whole life should be bought as young as possible to lock in the low rates and cover your throughout your entire life. Term life insurance can be added on top of that when you are in special circumstances that require additional coverage.
Why do I need more coverage from term life?
Your whole life insurance policy is going to be more expensive, and the preference for most people is to keep the policy at a cost that will cover your final expenses and not a lot else. Term life insurance, then, would be a larger policy designed to cover you for the life of your loan or for the time that your children are at home. When your loans are paid off, your mortgage is gone, and your kids are out of the house and on their own, your insurance needs become much less. You no longer need the expensive policy that would have paid off your mortgage to allow your spouse and children to keep your family home once the mortgage is paid off, for example, and so the policy is allowed to end.
The best way to get the fullest and most useful coverage is to cover yourself under whole life insurance, and then fill in the gaps during the busy years of your life with term life insurance. This will keep your family safe and protected should the worst happen to you, and will ease your mind in the years to come.
