Patient comfort and care is a top priority for a sedation dentist. They recognize that dental anxiety or discomfort can be associated with some dentistry procedures. Fortunately, a variety of dental procedures using dental anesthetics are available to relieve both anxiety and discomfort. Talk with your dentist to find out which is right for you.
This is the most frequently used type of dental anesthetic for sedation dentistry procedures. Although often referred to as "Novocain," this once popular painkilling drug has actually been replaced by more effective anesthetics such as Lidocaine for a comfortable dental care treatment. It also works very well for temporary relief of a tooth ache.
However, the name has become so much a part of the American vocabulary, it's now used in generic terms. Prior to injecting the local anesthetic, the dentist often swabs a topical anesthetic over the injection site to prevent the patient from even feeling the needle.
Patients seeking comfortable dentistry can consult with their dentists to choose anti-anxiety agents either administered by mouth, inhalation or injection. Nitrous oxide, often referred to as laughing gas, helps to ease patient anxiety. The gas is inhaled by patients, inducing relaxation, so they can approach dental procedures with less stress.
This may be required for complex procedures or for dental patients with special needs. With the administration of general anesthesia, the patient is unconscious; with deep sedation dentistry or sleep dentistry, dental patients are deeply relaxed and not fully aware of their surroundings during their dental treatment.
Prior to treatment, your dentist will need to know a few things regarding your health history such as:
Some medicines may interfere with the efficiency of an anesthetic requiring an adjustment in your medication schedule. Your health history is very important information for the dentist. During the consultation, you can ask questions about any dental procedures that may be of concern during your dental procedure.
The drugs used as dental anesthetics are approved by the Food and Drug Administration and are safe. Anesthetic providers are professionals with a commitment to patient safety and comfort.
A dental anesthetic can be administered by a general dentist, a dental anesthesiologist or an M.D. Certification is required and is regulated on a state-by-state basis. Discuss sedation with your dentist at your next visit.

To it will also be had a API to the work with the Web Workers. Applications Web Offline: Another API for the work with applications will exist Web, that will be able to be developed so that they also work in the premises and without being connected a Internet. Geolocalizacin: The pages Web will be able to be located geographically by means of a API that allows the Geolocalizacin. New APIs for user interface: subjects so used as " drag & drop" (to drag & to drop) in the interfaces of user of the conventional programs, they will be incorporated to HTML 5 by means of a API. Aim of the presentation labels: all the labels that they have to do with the presentation of the document, that is to say, which they modify styles of the page, will be eliminated. The responsibility to define the aspect of a Web will run solely to CSS position.
As it is possible to be seen, several API will exist with which we will be able to work for the development of all type of complex applications, that will work online and offline. Perhaps it is understood better why HTML 5 is a so ambitious project and that it is having been as much time to be elaborated. With the arrival of HTML 5, many things they can and they are going to change in Internet. One of them will be the visualization of videos in the Web. Apple already marked its dangerous one position, when in the presentation of its new juguetito, iPAd, very same Steve Jobs showed without perturbing, the screen of the device where it sailed by an American newspaper, full of gray cuadraditos.
These blind points, were because the videos and animations in flash, propietary technology of Adobe, does not work nor will work in any device of Apple. Now Adobe tries to give back the play to him, supporting in the war of codecs of video to Google, Mozilla and Opera, with the creation of the open format WebM.

Having a way to promote your business through all weather and all seasons is vitally important for advertising and getting the word out about your business. Compared to conventional signage, vinyl is a great alternative that is more durable. There are factors that can influence the life of your vinyl even further, though. Here are a few things to consider in order to help your vinyl signage last even longer:
Type of Vinyl
The type of vinyl that you select to use for your display will greatly impact the lifespan of your sign. It is important to let us know what you intend to do with your sign so that we can help you select the right vinyl for your needs. If you are looking for a vinyl that will last for a medium range lifespan, then Calendared PVC might be the best choice for you. This type of vinyl usually lasts between 3-6 years, making it a great option for a variety of applications. For a slightly longer lifespan, a good choice might be the Cast PVC vinyl. This material will last about 25% longer than the Calendared PVC but will also cost slightly more. The estimated life spans for both of these PVC options are based on the use of normal, primary colors in your signage. Using metallics on your signage with Metalized Polyester will drastically cut down the durability of your vinyl. Using metallics may reduce the lifespan of your sign to 2 years. The same is true for using fluorescents, which can mean your sign could potentially last 2 or 3 years.
Where you place your vinyl sign can also greatly impact how long your sign will last. The longevity of your sign will vary greatly depending on how it is positioned, and how much sun exposure it receives in that position. When the sign is hung vertically, there is less direct sunlight that is hitting directly onto the printed portion of the sign. Having the vinyl at an angle, such as on the hood of a car or on an awning, means that more sunlight will be directly shining on the material. The additional sunlight can make the sign more susceptible to damage such as cracking and fading. In fact, some vinyl warranties are voided if your sign is placed at an 11-45 degree angle to the sun. When you're selecting material for your project, you'll want to consider how much direct sunlight it will be exposed to once it is placed in the desired position.
Unfortunately, weather is going to change how long your sign lasts and it is one factor that is completely out of your control. As previously mentioned, excessive sun exposure can really cut down the life expectancy of a vinyl sign. Wind, rain, and temperature extremes can also impact the condition of the material. Depending on your needs and the specific placement of your signage, we can help you find the right material to ensure the longest possible lifespan.
With a life expectancy of 5 years or more, a vinyl sign is a great way to promote your business for years to come. If you have specific questions about where your sign will be placed or the material to use for your sign, be sure to reach out to the experts at B&B Image Group. Located in Minneapolis, MN, our experts will help you design a new vinyl display that will give you years of advertising.

Planning well ahead we have looked at a villa that appears to back onto the 429 (Daniel Webster Western Beltway).
It's years since we stayed around that area, the villa listing does highlight some possible 'road noise'.
It looks quite close to the road, so obviously you would hear traffic from the pool area.
Anyone know the road well or how busy it gets? I seem to recall it was being built around the last time we were there, just the home itself is the nicest we have seen so far (jeez the prices have shot up!).
The one's we like at Windsor Palms, our preferred choice, are priced almost for us to buy the thing, not just stay there for a couple of weeks.

Coffee is not only a cozy drink for the cold winter mornings but is also a refreshing summer drink when you make it cold. Coffee goes very well with a lot of flavours, and here, I have tried to make two cold coffee drinks pairing with the season's best flavours, orange and caramel to beat the heat with coffee.
Coffee Cube Caramel Latte
Espresso – 2 shot + 150 ml water
Milk – 150 ml
Sugar Syrup – To taste
Caramel syrup – For flavouring
- Mix the espresso shots with water and let it cool.
- Pour the espresso into an ice cube tray and freeze it over night.
- Fill a tall serving glass with the espresso ice cubes.
- Pour the milk, sugar syrup and the caramel syrup into the ice cubes, give it a good stir and it's ready to serve.
Coffee Orange Shakers
Espresso – 2 shots (cold)
Fresh orange juice – 30 ml
Sugar syrup – 20ml
Ice cubes – 3-4
Fresh Orange Peel –For aroma
Cocktail Shaker
- Fresh orange juice, espresso, sugar syrup and ice cubes into the cocktail shaker and shake well.
Pour the drink into a tall glass and use the orange peel to infuse the aroma into the drink with the help of a blow torch as shown in the video.

Haitian Holiday
A short story by Samie Sands
My mind…I'm sure my mind used to work a little better than this. Very occasionally I'll get flashes of what's going on around me. These moments are always very brief and painful – not enough for me to make sense of the world.
My arms. They hurt. My legs ache. My entire body feels like it's been under a massively heavy weight for a very long time. Every time I'm aware, I'm doing something physically challenging – pushing, pulling, lifting. Too much for my small, frail body, but I can't stop. It's as if something is compelling me.
A face. A large face looms in front of me, sending an irrational jolt of fear through me – the first emotion I've felt in a very long time. Something inside of me is screaming 'it's him!' He looks sick – I don't know how I know that, I just do. He yells something at me, but my ears are buzzing, so I can't hear him. I just carry on lugging, pulling, tugging…
My eyes flicker open. I quickly realise that I'm lying on the ground. What happened? Why am I asleep? I push my body into a sitting position, even though it hurts like mad. The light is so bright; it takes my eyes a long time to adjust. I'm in a field that's full of plants – a place I don't recognise at all – but that's not the strangest thing about the scene I'm surveying. No, that's the fact that there are loads of other bodies, beginning to stir around me.
"Wha…?" I try to ask, but my throat is dry, my voice is hoarse as if I haven't used it for a very long time.
The others finally reach the same state of awareness as me, and they are all wearing the same utterly confused expression. What happened to us? None of this makes any sense.
I don't know how much time passes, but one by one, we all begin to move away from here. It holds really horrible memories – I know that much, even if I don't know what they are. I follow the crowd, noticing how we are all shuffling, shambling, as if we aren't human. As if we're monsters.
Eventually, after some time, we reach a tiny village. The first woman that sees the crowd descending on her screams and runs in the opposite direction. I finally hear the word "zombie" being yelled, and something about it sends recognition flooding through me. Zombie…why does that word strike a chord? Why do I feel like that's something to do with me?
Others rush from random directions to come and see us. I guess we must look a sight – dirty, lumbering, unaware. Some of them laugh, some of them look afraid. I wish I could communicate. I want to be able to speak to someone, to find out what's happened, what they know. They might be scared, but I am too!
"Deana!" A voice bursts through the rest, as a warm hand rests on my shoulder. My body wants to jump in shock, but I don't have enough movements inside of me to be able to do so. Instead I turn to face the kindly looking woman who's staring at me with tears in my eyes. "It's you. It's really you."
I wake up in a soft, warm bed. My skin feels clean, my mind feels fresher, but there's still something nagging at me. Something isn't quite right. Not yet. I can now feel a few sporadic memories from my past, from before whatever happened to me here – I recall getting picked on in the rain, somewhere in England, when I was about eight years old. I can picture the time I had my first kiss, when I was 17. I can remember getting on a plane…but nothing that explains what's going on now.
"How are you feeling?" The woman from the village enters the room I'm in, offering me a drink. I sup it down as if I haven't drunk anything for years.
I nod as a reply, before trying my voice once more. "Wha…?" It hurts a little less to use, but it's still very croaky.
"You must have lots of questions." She sighs, looking at her hands in her lap. "I don't know where to start."
I stare at her, begging her to begin anywhere. I just need something.
"You arrived here in Haiti three years ago." I hold my breath as she speaks. "You wanted to follow the work of Wade Davis – the man who exposed the witch doctors and their awful zombification tricks." I have to remind myself that she's talking about me – this all sounds like something that happened to someone else. "You came to stay with me for a while. You thought you'd found a sugar plantation where this awful practice was still taking place and you wanted to put a stop to it. I warned you to be careful, but you were so…ambitious. You wanted to succeed as a journalist so badly."
A journalist? Me? A vague memory pops up of a desk in a fancy office, but it's gone before I can get a solid grasp on it.
"You went missing not long after. They said you were dead – they even held a funeral for you, but I knew different. I knew he had you. You had mentioned Dr. Koane and your suspicions of him…"
I gasp at the mention of that name. That was him. That was the man I saw – the one that did this. Suddenly I recall going to see him on the pretence of needing some painkillers. I knew what he was up to and I wanted to prove it, I just needed evidence. I wanted a vial of the stuff he was giving to people. That appointment is when he must have started me on the tetrodotoxin drugs that rendered me a zombie. I can't believe it, he fooled me, outsmarted me. I spent three years working for the man I was trying to overthrow.
What made him stop?
His face – he was ill. He was dying, I realise. He couldn't give us the drugs anymore, that's why we returned to our normal state. I'm sure we will keep on becoming ourselves again for a very long time.
As I glance around the room, I accidentally catch a glimpse of my reflection in a small mirror and vomit instantly rushes through me and splatters on the ground below me. What the hell? I've gone from a petite, fairly attractive 23 year old, to someone who looks closer to 70. I've never been particularly vain, but this is something else! This is unbearable. I'm hideous!
I stare for a while, just thinking. My life is over. I thought I'd just gotten it back, but I was wrong. This man, this zombie drug, this trip to Haiti…it's ruined my life. I may be back in mind, but I'll never be able to be me again….

Caroline Stokes and Jhodi Ward, specialists in medical negligence and patients' rights at Irwin Mitchell, have successfully secured compensation on behalf of a man who received a misdiagnosis of epilepsy which drastically affected his life throughout childhood and into early adulthood.
Our client was diagnosed with epilepsy when he was four years old after suffering from dizzy spells and episodes similar to fainting. These were mostly triggered by pain. Following the diagnosis, he was put on medication straight away which increased in quantity and strength as he got older.
To confirm the condition, he was given two ECG's and a brain scan as well as six monthly check ups at the hospital. During this time, he still had the episodes.
After one particular episode, our client was told that he had very low blood pressure, he received a letter from a neurologist to come in to the hospital and investigate it further. The neurologist thought that our client may have been misdiagnosed with the condition and further tests proved that this was the case.
Low blood pressure was causing him to faint and have the dizzy spells, not epilepsy. This misdiagnosis severely affected our client for many years, he was unable to partake in sports or learn to drive.
Caroline Stokes and Jhodi Ward, experts in clinical negligence claims, investigated the case and agreed a settlement of £110,000 with the negligent Trust.

TV and Movie Technology
The technology we use every day was once portrayed on TV and in movies as science fiction long before it was ever available. In this slide show, eWEEK takes a look back at some classic movies and TV shows that can teach today's IT pros how to deal with today's technology and users. More than that, it got me thinking of all the things we take for granted that were once totally imaginary. How many examples of current technology from these (and other) movies and shows can you think of?

I am back!!
Its been a while...I have had a 3 week break from blogging to focus on redesigning the blog and preparing for another BIG change around her: My new Etsy Shop!
I have been very busy organising things, making things and designing things...
So I am so excited to reveal the fruits of my labour to you all today!
In this post I will talk you through the changes I have made here on the blog, and how to use the new features...
So welcome to the new look Nostalgiecat...I hope you like the new simple, white look blog design, I thought it would look a lot tidier this way...I have also created a New header banner, which I am not too sure about myself yet...what do you think?
Apart from the aesthetic changes I've made, I've also been working on making Nostalgiecat easier to navigate...I have...with much stress...created a subtle drop down menu under the header banner, so that you can easily find the post you are looking for:
HOME is the blog roll,
ABOUT is the page where you can learn a little bit about me and what Nostalgiecat is all about....this page also contains all my contact details.
Click on DIY TUTORIALS for a convenient gallery of all my projects, with clickable links to all my DIY tutorials.
The last category on my drop down menu is BLOG POSTS...Click on this to reveal 2 Sub categories:
KIDS CRAFTS will take you to a gallery of all my crafty tutorials suitable for children.
Click on INSPIRATION AND DECOR to reveal 4 more sub-sub categories:
HOME AND GARDEN will take you to a gallery of all my posts about home décor and gardening.

I AM INSPIRED BY...This is a new feature: I am planning on running a post series about people that inspire me: From artists to crafters, makers and designers...Not yet sure how regular these features will be, but I have some very exciting people in mind for these future posts...
You will also notice that when you hover the mouse over my pictures, a pin-it button pops up at the top left corner of the image...click on this to pin it to your pinterest boards...
I have also finally managed to add some social media BUTTONS in my sidebar....So now you are only a click away from my
Facebook page, where I post regular updates on what's happening here at Nostalgiecat.
You can also follow me on Instagram, where I put up pictures of work-in progress and inspiration + snapshots from our day-to day life...
There is also a button for my Pinterest boards, where you can see where I get a lot of my inspiration for my projects from, and
My HOMETALK profile, which is a great site full of useful information on anything to do with the home, from DIY and decorating via gardening to cleaning and home organisation.
There is also a button for e-mailing me...
I have become aware that a lot of people are not sure how to follow my blog...
So I have tried to make it easier by creating easily visible buttons for this near the top of my sidebar:
First there is the BLOGLOVIN button...this is great for people who follow lots of blogs as they will be notified of any new posts from their favourite blogs in one convenient e-mail...
You can also follow me by entering your e-mail address where it says FOLLOW BY EMAIL .
Or you can subscribe to my blog post by clicking SUBSCRIBE IN READER.

On the left-hand sidebar, all the way down at the bottom of the blog, you can find my BLOG ARCHIVE, which is a chronological list of all my blog posts arranged by date.
Also in my sidebar is my MINI ETSY SHOP... a little gallery of the things that I have for sale at my new Etsy shop: YESTERYEAR DECOR.

Glad to be back!

Talk about bad parenting........and stupidity.
jessawakawaii:no need to test my children. they definitely won't be inheriting any athletic ability from me. also, wth to parents who are so obsessive about sports.
eh - it's all because they "never made it" and now they have to live it through their children IMO.
I saw the article earlier and it is jaw droppingly stupid. The 2003 study isn't exen conclusive. I liked the doctor who said if you want to see if your kid will be fast line him up with the other kids in his class for a race and see if he wins.
I prefer the old fashioned method; my Dad and his brothers all played football (either O-line or D-line). My Mom was a sprinter; guess what, I played football and threw on the track team.
sugrfrejaz:um - you can't tell whether your own 2.5 year old kid is athletically inclined or not? really? I swear my little brother was lobbing balls across the room at 6 months.
Ditto this, my brother and I first showed athletic abilities around the 2-3 range. We play other sports before finding our callings in football. For me, 8 years of soccer and 6 years of basketball. For him it was soccer and roller hockey.
Big T (aka Mr.P):
I liked the doctor who said if you want to see if your kid will be fast line him up with the other kids in his class for a race and see if he wins.
seriously. Or maybe stare at your kid for you know, more than 30 seconds and see if he's a kicker or a runner or a thrower or whatever.
I think this pretty much sums up the real reason behind this:
?Parents will start to say, ?I know one mom who?s doing the test on her son, so maybe we should do the test too,? ? she said.
?Peer pressure and curiosity would send people over the edge. What if my son could be a pro football player and I don?t know it??
I also liked this part:
Mr. Reilly insisted that the test is one tool of many that can help children realize their athletic potential. It may even keep an overzealous father from pushing his son to be a quarterback if his genes indicate otherwise, Mr. Reilly said.
Uh yeah, so he can push his son to be something else instead. That's great
I could write a book on why I loathe hyper-competitive, helicopter parenting. I do a lot of reading up on it because I'm fascinated by the stupidity of it.
However, I will confess this: now that I have two children, I get the competitive fear that drives some parents. I think many of them need a serious reality check, but I experienced this first-hand when deciding whether to put my 2-year-old in "school" (it's really a glorified, structured play group). I gave it no thought until I noticed that the other moms in my freebie play group were signing their kids up. Suddenly I started losing sleep at night over whether I needed to get my child into one of these things. Then I realized what was happening and stepped back from the ledge.
I plan to do my best to maintain my sanity when it comes to future issues of this ilk, but the episode gave me some insight as to how easy it is to freak out when you convince yourself that somehow you are short-changing your child's future by not doing XYZ.
Parenting basically consists of one episode of guilt after another, so it's easy to talk yourself into believing that some crazy sh*t is what's best for your child.

Press release
New Year ambitions to reduce healthcare associated infections
New ambitions have been set for the NHS which build on the progress made on infections last year, Health Minister Simon Burns announced today
MRSA **bloodstream infections under 100 for six months running**
New ambitions have been set for the NHS which build on the progress made on infections last year, Health Minister Simon Burns announced today.
If delivered, there would be a further 29% reduction in MRSA bloodstream infections and a further 18% reduction in Clostridium difficile infections by April 2013 - bringing annual numbers of MRSA bloodstream infections down to 880 and reducing Clostridium difficile infections from 19,754 to 16,100.
The latest monthly statistics show that, for the first time since mandatory surveillance began in 2001, MRSA bloodstream infections across the NHS have been sustained at under 100 reported cases per month for the last six months.
MRSA numbers are continuing to decrease, with 86 bloodstream infections reported across the NHS in November 2011. On average there is now less than one MRSA infection per primary care trust (PCT) each month.
35 NHS organisations had been free from MRSA bloodstream infections for 12 months in November 2011 according to Health Protection Agency (HPA) data. This is more than double the 14 organisations who achieved this in May 2010 and just 4 trusts were free from MRSA in September 2006.
Health Minister Simon Burns said:
"There has been great progress in reducing MRSA bloodstream and Clostridium difficile infections in some parts of the NHS, but we want everyone at the level of the best.
"This progress shows the impact that our drive for greater transparency and strict infection control measures can have to prevent avoidable infections and help provide a clean and safe environment for patients. But there is still more to do to before we have achieved our objective of zero tolerance for all avoidable healthcare associated infections and it is vital that we continue to reduce variation across the country.
"That is why we have set each Trust their own objective - to drive further improvements, particularly in the organisations with the highest rates of MRSA bloodstream and C. difficile infections."
This contributes to the Prime Minister's commitment last week to focus on improving quality in the health service and ensure that every patient is cared for with compassion and dignity in a clean environment.
Notes to editors
- The healthcare associated infection statistics between November 2010 and November 2011 can be found on the HPA website. The attached graph shows the improvement in the number of trusts with no MRSA cases for 12 months since September 2006.
The NHS Operating Framework 2012-13 (published 24 November 2011) prioritises the achievement of the MRSA and C. difficile objectives. The NHS is being asked to collectively reduce the numbers of infections in 2012-13 by a further 29% for MRSA bloodstream infections and 18% for C. difficile _infections. In addition an individual objective based on current performance has been set for each Trust. The _NHS Operating Framework and the Technical Guidance for the Operating Framework 2012-13 can be found on the Department of Health website.
The baseline period used to set the updated MRSA and C. difficile objectives is October 2010 to September 2011.
From June 2010, patients have been able to access weekly information on MRSA bloodstream and C. difficile infections on data.gov.uk. In addition, monthly MRSA, meticillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA), E. coli bloodstream infections and C. difficile infections data is published on the HPA website. Publishing this information allows patients to hold hospitals to account about the management of healthcare associated infections.
Last year, we built on our commitment to greater transparency of information by extending mandatory surveillance to include MSSA (from January 2011) and E. coli bloodstream infections (from June 2011).

There are times in our lives when we just are not happy in whatever situation we are in. Maybe we are unhappy in our jobs, or in our house, or in our geographical location, our marriages, or even in our churches. We are told to be thankful for everything, but sometimes we have a hard time finding what exactly it is we are to be thankful for. Sometimes we just are not content and we just do not know what to do. I am in a situation like that now, and so this message is just as much for me as for anyone else.
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 NKJV
It is the will of God that we rejoice and give thanks no matter what situation we are in, so if that is not the case, there is a problem. That problem is either a problem with our heart or it is a problem with the situation we are in. Note that in between rejoicing and thankfulness there is the call to prayer. I do not think this is a random order. Sometimes our failure to find joy and thankfulness is due to our failure to pray or our prayers are asking the wrong thing. I will get more into this a little later, but first I want to talk about the two options for our problems.
As I said, if we are unhappy the problem is either in our heart or in our circumstance. Sometimes this is an easy question. For example, if you are unhappy in your marriage then you know the problem is not the circumstance, but your heart. God hates divorce and our marriage is a picture of our relationship with Jesus Christ. God never desires for a marriage to end and so we can conclude that the problem has to be our heart as God would not want us to change our circumstance. On the other hand, if the circumstance is some sort of sinful endeavor or involvement, then our unhappiness stems from our circumstance. There is no situation where God would desire us to sin and so we can conclude that if we are unhappy in our sin (and we should be unhappy in our sin), that we must repent of our sin and change that circumstance.
Sometimes, though, the answer is not so cut and dry. Sometimes the circumstance leads to no clear conclusion as to whether it is your heart or the circumstance. For example, what if you are unhappy in your job. First of all, we should all be thankful that we have a job. The economy is rough right now. But even in those cases where we are thankful, sometimes we are entirely unhappy in what we are doing. So in situations like this, we must ask ourselves whether our heart or whether our circumstance needs to change. There is no easy answer.
Sometimes our present unhappiness is a matter of the heart. We are in whatever place God wants us to be in, but we are not finding any joy there. We wonder where the rejoicing is and we struggle to find what to be thankful for, and we look for a way to escape. Before we make that escape, we need to pray to make sure that is what we are really called to do. Sometimes there is a good amount of self popping up and instead of denying it, we elevate it. Sometimes the problem with rejoicing is because we have not fully submitted ourselves to the Lord. In those cases, we have our own desires for how things should be and instead of submitting to what God wants we live in want of those former desires. This is why the first step before any kind of submission to God or following Jesus is to deny ourselves. If we do not deny ourselves, we will never seek joy in following the Lord. Our own desires must be replaced by His desires for our lives. That is the only way we will be able to rejoice when He takes us places and has us do things we never would have though we would ever even want to do. This is how those who live in some of the worst poverty still have joy. This is how people who work hard jobs still have the joy of the Lord in their lives. This is how Paul was able to rejoice even while being imprisoned. They submitted their will to God and were sure that they were right where God had called them to be.
On the other hand, maybe there is no problem with our heart at all and our unhappiness and restlessness is a result of not being where God wants us to be. That is also a very real possibility. This is because if we are truly and completely submitted to the Lord, we will not be happy if we are where He has not called us to be. We will be restless, frustrated, and probably really feel like we belong elsewhere. Sometimes we get set in our routines and resist any kind of change and the only way for God to get our attention is to let that restlessness and frustration well up inside of us. What holds us back in these situations is fear of making the wrong decision with the thinking that if you remain, you have the safety of avoiding the unknown. It takes some faith to leave a job, a home, or any other kind of long-term circumstance, but it is a faith we must have. We think there is no safety net, but we forget that God is our safety net.
Sadly there are times when we are unhappy and we simply can not change our circumstances. Maybe we were born in a certain place or we only have a certain amount of money. If you are unhappy in a circumstance you can not change, then you have no choice but to ask God to either change your heart or your circumstance. But first you must ask God to help you realize and take comfort that it is entirely in His hands. It may not seem like it, but in many ways this is the best kind of circumstance because you can only rely on the Lord. You do not have to worry about making a wrong decision or taking a huge step in faith, you only need to take in faith that God knows your circumstance and has made it so for a reason. Whether it is a disease, injury, nation, home, job, or even prison, if you are in a circumstance that is beyond your control you need to take comfort that it is entirely in God's control. If God does not want you in that circumstance, He will make a way to change it. It may ultimately require some steps of faith, but in situations like this those steps are usually pretty clear.
So what do we do when we are unsure of what to do? What do we do when we do not know if our hearts or our circumstances need to change? The answer is prayer. As I said in the beginning, there is a real good reason why pray without ceasing is mentioned in between the call to always rejoice and the call to give thanks in everything. It is only by prayer that we can discern the course of action that the Lord wants us to take. Sometimes we are not even sure what to pray for. That is not a bad thing, in fact it is probably a good thing. So many times when we come to God in prayer, we come to Him with a bias. We think we want our circumstance to change and so our prayer is to change that circumstance. Sometimes we like where we are and so we ask God to take away the restlessness that we have. Sometimes we even know what course change we want the Lord to make. How many inside and outside the church do not like their jobs and so pray to win the lottery? If we are unsure then the best place to be is unsure. What I mean is that do not say we are unsure then have a plan we want God to follow. I know even in my own circumstance, I do not know with any surety exactly what the Lord wants. And so my prayer to God is to show me when and how to change or to give me the joy and gratitude to be where I am. My only goal is submission to what God wants in my life and the peace that comes from being in His will. Whatever that is and wherever that will or will not take me is not as important as being in God's will. That is where the peace is for a child of God.
And so when we find ourselves in a place where we are unhappy and it us unclear on what we should do, the answer is that we pray. If you do not know what to pray for then all the better because when we don't know the Holy Spirit makes intercession for us. How amazing is that? That is completely resting in the arms of God and allowing Him to choose not only our prayer but how to answer it. Perhaps we should all just admit we are unsure because it is only when we allow the Holy Spirit to make that intercession for us that we can truly be surrendered to the will of God. That should always be our goal because the one circumstance in life we can be sure we are supposed to be in is to be completely surrendered to Him. If you remain in that circumstance, all the rest of life's circumstances will work themselves out. That is the example of our Lord as He prayed in the garden preparing for the cross, and one we must make the guiding principle of our lives.
And He was withdrawn from them about a stone's throw, and He knelt down and prayed, saying, "Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done." Luke 22:41-42 NKJV

Who would've thought that a memoir from the eighteenth century would have caused so much trouble? Eight adventurers sail to Cocos Island on the converted tuna clipper, Sweet Fanny Adams, to dig for the fabulously rich Loot of Lima. They are backed by an amphibious aircraft, a Grumman Albatross, under the command of Van Dusen, a cashiered, ex-U.S. Navy pilot, with ulterior motives.
And the eight adventurers? What a collection! British nutcases, a timber cruiser, a prospector, a cook, the cook's wife, they are not necessarily what they appear to be either.

Rain, lilacs, and a good cup of coffee! This blond and ambitious writer enjoys the everyday journey of life in search for my life's purpose. As a writer, dreamer, and owner of a crazy tortoiseshell kitty, I'm all about the little things in life.
Hi all- my name is HEATHER BLYNN and welcome to my blog! I graduated college with a Bachelor of Science, major in Psychology. I also worked towards a small emphasis study in creative writing my senior year. (I know, two different studies). I was the girl with a psych major taking a grammar class "just for fun." During the cold, arctic-blast winter, I spent my time writing The Fourth Charm and sipping hot cocoa, daydreaming of a lilac-summer. I'm currently working on my second novel in the series, The Third Charm.
I'm a lover of life, coffee-sipper kind of girl who enjoys Pilates, John Keats poems, and writing inspirational pieces, savvy woman articles, as well as contemporary women's fiction novels. I also come with a deep passion for healthy living, veganism, organic foods, safe products, and a happy home. I love fresh air, and the outdoors. I'm crazy for hummingbirds, and hiking in Door County, Wisconsin with the love of my life.

'Edge of Tomorrow' Is Basically 'Groundhog Day' Without the Charm
Uncategorized June 6, 2014 Matthew Gault 0
About halfway through Edge of Tomorrow, our hero—played by Tom Cruise—is enjoying a drink in a bar. Fellow patrons argue over the alien invasion currently wrecking the planet. "It doesn't matter," Cruise interrupts.
He might as well be talking to himself. Cruise is trapped in the nightmare of his own pointless career.
Director Doug Liman's Edge of Tomorrow is an adaptation of a young-adult novel from Japan with the far superior title All You Need Is Kill. Cruise is Cage, a media relations expert for the military—yes, you read that right—who gets assigned to the front lines during the invasion from space.
Cage lands on the beach and immediately dies—then wakes up! It's the day before the battle. He's doomed to fight and die on some kind of time loop forever. It's Groundhog Day—except somehow tedious despite all the aliens and explosions.
Why do the aliens want the planet? Why is Cage reliving the same day over and over again? How does he put a stop to it?
"It doesn't matter."
Look, Edge of Tomorrow is not good. The characters are flat, the action is sterile and the plot's an unsatisfying mess—like all the Philip K. Dick you read in college pulped in a blender. If you must see it, take a cue from Cruise's Cage. Sit back, ride it out. Catch a nap if you can. Tomorrow you won't remember anything.
Emily Blunt plays Rita. She's a battle-hardened soldier, the only one to ever beat the aliens in battle—because she's in a time loop of her own. It's up to Rita to harden the cowardly Cage into a true warrior.
The movie's first half is a lot of fun. Cage gets splashed by alien blood and his face melts. Rita shoots Cage in the head after he breaks his leg during training. Armored vehicles run over him. He explodes, Rita rolls her eyes. Aliens eat Cage's face. It's sweet.
Then the plot kicks in.
Characters deliver convoluted monologues about time travel and fate. There's a profoundly lame romantic subplot. Bill Paxton makes people eat playing cards. There's a ton of exposition. "No," I thought. "Don't do this. Don't try to explain anything. You're ruining it!"
But the movie rolled on. Inexorably, like the downward trajectory of Cruise's career.
Edge of Tomorrow misses a great opportunity. The loop of death wears on Cage. There's one scene where he's drunk before battle. He's about to fight and die on a French beach for, like, the thousandth time. He rejects a helmet. He requests more ammunition. "There's something wrong with your suit," a soldier quips.
"There's a dead man in it," Cage says, finishing a familiar joke. This could have been a fantastic movie about the effects of prolonged combat on a soldier's psyche. It could have been a stark reminder of the human cost of war.
But Edge of Tomorrow chickens out. Cage shakes off the PTSD and gets back to work.
This is a movie more about video games than war. Players can die over and over in games. Cage does the same. He's learning the battlefield the same way a gamer learns the minutia of a level, dying a hundred times in the process.
Cruise's character is a heavy-handed metaphor. Cage is in a mortal trap. He will keep dying until he takes responsibility for his destiny.
But I kept thinking about Cruise drinking alone in that bar. Telling the drunks—and the audience—that it doesn't matter. Tom Cruise is destined to be in safe, teenager-friendly science fiction movies every summer until Xenu calls him home.

David Pierce had a strong first season at the helm of the UT program and will look to build upon that in year two. Texas was hit hard by the MLB Draft over the summer, but Pierce recruited a nice mix of incoming freshmen and junior college transfers that will provide strong reinforcements.
Texas does not have a large group of incoming freshman as only 10 players committed, but two – Tristen Lutz and Landon Leach – were drafted and signed to MLB teams. Of the eight that made their way to Texas, three will most likely have a greater immediate impact in 2018. The other five all have great qualities and project to make a mark in their time at Texas.
Bryce Elder, Kamron Fields, and Nico O'Donnell are the three that are most likely to make significant contributions in their freshmen campaigns. All three pitch from the right side, but Fields also plays a stellar outfield and can fly on the basepaths. Fields played football in addition to baseball in high school, earning many Division-I offers to play quarterback, but decided to come to UT for baseball to show off his elite athleticism. Fields is an all-around talent on the baseball diamond and expect him to make an impact as a freshman with occasional starts in the outfield, relief work and potentially many late game substitutions as a pinch runner or defensive replacement.
Bryce Elder and Nico O'Donnell were both key late additions as pitchers who blossomed in their senior years in high school. Expect both to at least pitch out of the bullpen as freshmen as well as compete for jobs in the starting rotation. O'Donnell is a tall and skinny kid at 6-foot-3, 180 lbs. out of San Antonio with bundles of potential, while Elder is a big kid at 6-foot-1, 230 lbs. out of Decatur, and made headlines in the UIL playoffs after throwing consecutive no-hitters. Both pitchers hit the low 90s with their fastball.
Coach Pierce went out and brought in a great group of JUCO transfers to supplement the current loss and fill gaps of the players that graduated and left early. Pierce brought in eight JUCOs headlined by Duke Ellis, D.J. Petrinsky, Donny Diaz, Masen Hibbeler, and Matteo Bocchi.
Duke Ellis is an incoming sophomore and a toolsy outfielder out of Panola College who turned down an offer from the Padres to come to Texas after being drafted in the 20th round of this year's draft. Ellis has elite speed, a great bat, and plays good defense in center field. Look to see him in the starting lineup on opening day and beyond. Petrinsky is a junior catcher out of Hill College who comes to UT with a reputation of a bat-first catcher with a strong arm. He should split time with Michael McCann behind the plate with Michael Cantu transferring out of the program.
Diaz comes to Texas from San Jacinto College as a junior right-handed pitcher where he dominated last season and was drafted by the Red Sox, but chose to come to UT instead. Diaz is expected to have an impact role as a late inning reliever, sharing duties with Chase Shugart and Beau Ridgeway to finish games. Diaz could also push Ridgeway for the closer role and I would not be surprised if Pierce tries him as a starter with his dominant repertoire.
Hibbeler is out of Odessa College and can play all over the field. He is primarily a shortstop and could take David Hamilton's spot if he is unable to improve at the plate. Otherwise, Hibbeler will spend time either in the outfield corners or at second or third base. Regardless of where he plays, he will be expected to hit well, get on base, and run fast. Bocchi is an Italian and also attended Odessa College before coming to UT.
Bocchi is a junior right-handed pitcher that the Texas coaches are very high on and he could compete for a rotation spot, but will at least pitch out of the bullpen.
Returning Players
While Texas lost several key players from their lineup and on the mound, there is still a strong core of returning players that will occupy most of the important lineup holes and lead the rotation and bullpen. Big 12, All-Freshman Team members David Hamilton and Austin Todd will be back and looking to improve as sophomores. I expect Hamilton to retain his spot at shortstop and Todd will most likely be the starter in center or left field.
Kody Clemens will begin the season with a completely healthy arm and will be able to play the field or continue as the designated hitter where he was limited to last year after Tommy John Surgery after his freshman campaign. Clemens could compete to play at either third or second base.
Ryan Reynolds returns after a so-so freshman season but could be the odd man out with all of the JUCO transfers after starting most of last season at third. Joe Baker returns from injury after missing most of his junior season. He qualified for a medical redshirt and will look to take over at second base full-time after Brett Boswell's departure to professional baseball.
As mentioned above, Michael McCann returns at catcher after a breakout season and should remain the starter at his position or platoon with Petrinsky. Trace Bucey and Tate Shaw will also return and both will look to claim a starting spot in a crowded outfield. Shaw burst onto the scene when injuries forced him into action last year before cooling down as the season went on, and Bucey was a highly touted recruit coming out of high school and will look to make a name for himself after limited playing time last season.
Zach Zubia will commence his redshirt freshman campaign this upcoming season after sitting out last year due to transfer rules. Zubia had an outstanding summer winning MVP of the Northwoods League and looks to most likely take over at first and hold a spot in the middle of the lineup following Kacy Clemens' graduation.
On the pitching side of things, the rotation has some question marks with the departures of Morgan Cooper, Kyle Johnston, and Nick Kennedy but will return ace Nolan Kingham who will look to improve upon his stellar sophomore campaign. Blair Henley will also return as a sophomore after pitching well as a true freshman. Look for Henley to slide in as the Saturday starter and take a big leap after an impressive summer.
Josh Sawyer is the only other player on the roster to record a start for UT when he started 11 times in 2015. I do not expect him to pitch in that role this season coming off a season that he missed entirely due to injury. Beau O'Hara or Chase Shugart could potentially be stretched out to start, but I believe they will most likely stay in the bullpen and one of the incoming freshmen or JUCO pitchers will have to pick up the slack in the rotation. The good news is the bullpen should be strong with the return of Ridgeway and Shugart. Parker Joe Robinson could also see an increased role this coming season after posting a 1.93 ERA across 9.1 innings last season. Jake McKenzie also returns after a solid junior season.
Texas will look to improve upon last season when they came one win away from advancing to the Super Regionals. David Pierce lost a lot of impact bats and arms from last year's squad but will look to replace them with talented incoming players. My prediction as that the offense will be as good if not better than last year's and the team will also have a deeper bullpen. The question mark comes with the starting rotation; an area that is usually a strength for the Longhorns will have some questions on the backend that will need to resolve quickly in order to have another strong season.
Projected starting lineup
C: Michael McCann
1st: Zach Zubia

Review: 'Saint Laurent' is compelling yet maddening, too
There's a wonderful scene in "Saint Laurent," the sumptuous, exciting and also maddening new film by Bertrand Bonello, in which we watch the famous designer casually display his brilliance.
A wealthy, middle-aged customer comes to Yves Saint Laurent's studio, and the designer only has a few moments for her. She tries on one of his crisp pantsuits — as fashionistas know, YSL would change the landscape of women's fashion with this look — and she just isn't sure. Isn't this way too masculine, she asks?
No, YSL (an excellent Gaspard Ulliel) tells her with imposing certainty, despite his introverted nature: she will be alluring. He instructs her to relax, put her hands in the trouser pockets, stroll around a bit. He makes her let her hair down from its bun. And amazingly, the woman (Valerie Bruni Tedeschi) does indeed transform before our eyes, into a confident and beautiful creature. No pyrotechnics here, just a perfectly modulated scene displaying the simple nature of YSL's talent — and that of every great designer — which is to make the customer feel great.
Would that the entire 151-minute film were as effective as this scene. It's clear from the beginning that "Saint Laurent" — the second recent feature film about the designer — isn't a typical biopic; Bonello feels no need to follow the straight chronological trajectory that often fatally weighs down other films. That's a good thing — except, it must be said, this film jumps around so much in time that we simply lose track of where we are.
Also frustrating is Bonello's assumption that his audience is familiar with the central figures in the designer's life; that's not likely true outside of France, and more explanation would have been welcome.
The acting, though, is excellent, particularly Ulliel's work as the Algerian-born designer who cut his teeth working for Christian Dior (the film doesn't cover this early part of his life) and came to transform the way modern women dressed.
The film, set mainly in the late '60s and the '70s, touches on Saint Laurent's relationships with some of his muses, like Loulou de la Falaise (Lea Seydoux) and model Betty Catroux (Aymeline Valade), and on his amorous relationships: with longtime lover and business partner Pierre Berge (Jeremie Renier), and with partyboy-model Jacques de Bauscher (a compellingly sexy Louis Garrel). There's a startling orgy scene, and an even more startling scene involving YSL's beloved bulldog Moujik, who suffers a terrible fate during a drug-hazed night. (Saint Laurent is almost never shown without a drink and a cigarette in his hands, and often imbibing various pills, some of which induce hallucinations like serpents in his bed.)
There are also tamer scenes of life in the YSL studio, with its hard-working seamstresses and exacting deputies demanding precise adherence to the master's instructions. Saint Laurent was not the easiest man to work for; when one seamstress comes to him weeping, saying she needs money for an abortion, he comforts her and gives her a wad of cash — then asks a deputy to fire her.
The most exciting part of the film is the designer's famous show of sumptuous Moroccan-inspired gowns, bursting with wild color and verve. It's thrilling to watch the collection brought together — sketches made, luxury fabrics cut and shaped — and then displayed, in a high-stakes runway show.
Bonello splits the screen into as many as seven parts here — echoing the Mondrian paintings Saint Laurent loved — showing models at different angles, silky fabrics swishing, the rapt audience, and YSL himself, standing in the wings, with nothing left to do but watch. At this moment, "Saint Laurent" hints at the essence of what makes a designer great: a quality that's impossible to explain, but incredibly exciting to behold.
"Saint Laurent," a Sony Pictures Classics release, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America "for graphic nudity/strong sexual situations, substance abuse throughout and some language." Running time: 151 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.
Definition of R: Restricted. Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian.

I am in a similar situation. I am 28, with 4+ years in DotNet technologies. I am planning to move to Sweden and my preference is to search in Stockholm or Gothemburg.
I am Spanish and live in Abu Dhabi. My Swedish is still very weak. I plan to relocate in mid December. Does anyone think it is worth visiting Sweden some days in October to help with the job search, or it would not do any big difference considering I wouldn't start until 2 months later?

I must say it will be very hard for you to find a job remotely.
Unless you have exceptional skills, or skills they despately need, then your chance is very small. This applies everywhere. And it's more true in Sweden with Swedish .
But when you actually in Sweden, the tide is about to change. I've got much more invites since I moved here. The key is you presence.

Researchers on the study say parents need to let go of their worry that teaching kids about sex will increase the possibility of their children becoming promiscuous (it won't) and start stepping up to the plate. They should always address the genitals by the correct names (so no "peepees" or "weewees," folks) from birth, and begin talking with their children about sex and sexuality when the kids are as young as two years old—especially if the conversation turns that way naturally.
The deputy CEO of Family Planning Victoria, Elsie L'Huillier, says she's excited about the book.
"We would say that old idea of sitting down and having a talk is absolutely not the way to do it," L'Huillier said. "There should be a whole process where the issue of sexuality comes up as a natural conversation. It's not a highly stressful 'Let's sit down and talk'."

Hello to all, I have had this question asked of me more than 100 times in the past year and I have helped many of you along the way. But for those who do not know me let me introduce myself. My name is Jim Howe jr. I am 29 years old and a second generation Drag racer. I have won countless local and Big money bracket races, I am also a multitime national event winner in IHRA Top Dragster. I build a limited number of engines for other people every year. I have had a life time of help from the man I consider to be the sharpest out there my father Jim Howe sr. For with out him I would have started at the bottom and may never have gotten started. I have built several of these engines and have a developed a combination that not only works well but lives to tell about it, this can be achieved by a number of different componets and I will touch on that as I go along. The small block of choice for this combo is the 400 small block chevy I have also done this with the 351 windsor and a stroker kit to make it 396 ci. So we will use the chevy this time. A 509 cast block is my favorite do to the strength in the main webbing. A set of TRW piston #L2477, a set of H-beam eagle rods and the l-19 bolt upgrade, and a 4340 crank I have also used the stock cranks. As for cylider heads you have a choice of a few. I will outline performance at the end with choice of cylider heads. Now for camshaft, I have had great luck with the Lunati hydr roller cams, I have my own grind but will give you one that will get you in the nines. You will need a camshaft that is 248-254@50 on a 112 centerline and up to .600 lift. The intake and to be used is the Super victor or victor jr. And a out of the box 750 double pumper holley or larger up to the 950 HP. You are probably saying I am not be specific but I am telling you the least and the biggest all will yield you the result you are after. So lets talk about the car: A 3100 lb street car, 3.73 gear, 12.50x 28 ET street. A powerglide trans with 1.76 ratio and a convertor that will flash 3500 rpm. you need a good convertor this combo will drive right through a cheap one Now for performance: Fast burn GM heads with flame notch removed and milled to 51 ccs. ET 9.50s to .60s with a 175 hp plate. 041, 461 or the like GM IRON head. Milled to .58 ccs ET 9.60s to 9.90s. This is the first tech article I have ever written so please critique me and I will try to do my best to get my point accross. I like you am learning all the time. I can say I have a street car with similar componets with some port work on the Fast Burn heads that has ran 5.80s at 120 mph in the 1/8 mile on a 8.5 slick with a 200 hp plate, and is driven everyday weather permitting. This is a good solid foundation for a lethal street car. HAPPY WRENCHING. Jim

NIST unveils new cybersecurity workforce framework
The National Institute of Standards and Technology released a draft NICE Cybersecurity Workforce Framework to help U.S. employers better identify, maintain, recruit and develop cybersecurity talent.
The goal is to help organizations build a well-educated staff, which will, in turn, protect data and systems. Officials said the framework is much like a 'workforce dictionary,' designed to both define security terminology and share data.
The framework was developed by the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) over the course of a few years and is based on a collaboration between academics, industry and government agencies. Two major contributors were the U.S. Departments of Defense and Homeland Security.
"When identifying their cybersecurity staff, many organizations overlook cybersecurity tasks being performed by lawyers, auditors and procurement officers," said Bill Newhouse, NICE deputy director, in a statement. "NCWF can help an organization identify cybersecurity tasks within a work role that are vital to its mission and then examine if its current staff can perform those tasks and, if not, hire staff who can."
[Also: Security tips for a 'cyber workforce']
NCWF defines over 50 work roles, such as 'cyber legal advisor' and 'vulnerability analyst,' through sets of related knowledge, skills, abilities and tasks. Further, it organizes the workforce into a structure of seven high-level categories that group work and employees with common functions.
These categories contain over 30 specialty areas like incident response and legal advice and advocacy.
The framework is focused on employers, cybersecurity staff, educators, workforce trainers and IT providers, students and those considering a career in the security field. As part of the Federal Cybersecurity Workforce Assessment Act of 2015, the government will soon use the NCWF to identify its cybersecurity workforce.
Further, NCWF terminology has been incorporated into two online resources for the cybersecurity field: CyberSeek, which graphically displays U.S. cybersecurity job demand and availability; and Career Pathway, which helps students and job seekers develop career plans.
Both tools were announced on Tuesday at the NICE conference and Expo in Kansas City, Missouri.

Retail Futures: Browns Fashion heads to Berlin
Nov 13, 2019 | By Alice Gividen
Aug 18, 2016
By WGSN Insider
Summer in New York is packed full of music festivals, but they are often overwhelming affairs where half-way through, you are wondering around lost trying to work out just where your mates are. Happily, this summer we're seeing the rise of festivals that are offering something a little more intimate and boutique, and the crew behind Full Moon Music Festival fit right in with that trend.
The festival, which kicks off this weekend on Governors Island, is a music experience aimed at celebrating the style and swagger of New Yorkers. Wondering what this means in practice? It means that the fashion and the music go hand in hand. Having grown from a one-day festival held in pop-up spaces around the city, this year the creative team behind the festival MATTE Projects, have run with the ethos of the festival (installations, global explorers, illustrators, creators, fashion designers etc) and taken it to new heights. This year's festival features live music from established rappers like PushaT and indie favourites like SBTRKT and Lola Wolf, as well as 3D projections, immersive experiences and installations.
Better yet, for fashion fans, the festival was inspired by the recent trend for tour merchandise and has launched its own clothing merch to celebrate. Embroidered Full Moon t-shirts have been created in partnership with American Two Shot, the retail/art/coffee shop space in New York's Soho shopping district. Consumers can grab the t-shirts exclusively at the Full Moon merch shack and at the American Two Shot store.
Talking about the collaboration, the American Two shot design team said:
"We just wanted to make some merch that felt more unique than a plain screen printed shirt but was still simple and cool. The shirts were chain stitched by hand in BK on these beautiful old machines, so each one really is special. Kind of an old school name tag vibe happening with the script and placement on the shirts so it's like everyone who gets one is part of the team or something ❤"
