I don't think I've ever had a moment where I didn't wish I was Judy Garland. Okay, that's a lie, but there are a plethora of qualities that I wish I could take from Judy. Her timeless beauty, abundance of talent and her wardrobe are all things that I want.
Arguably the first girl-next-door archetype, Judy Garland continues to inspire the world of fashion with her soft features and her charming and eclectic choices of wardrobe.
I challenge you to find someone who doesn't think about Judy's famous portrayal as the delicate Dorothy Gale in The Wizard of Oz when her name is mentioned. Her soft smile and delicate features captured the hearts of millions who cherished the innocence of this timeless movie and character. Once the thrill of the majestic visuals wore off on audiences, they were able to look at Judy's fashion and became enchanted with her style and image.
By this point, it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that I have a passionate love of anything with a gingham print. I think that this love can be traced back to Judy's portrayal in The Wizard of Oz. From the time I was a little girl, it has been my dream to own the baby blue and white gingham dress that Dorothy wore as she ventured into the depths of Oz. To me, this dress embodies a wholesome and girly look that I often crave, especially in the summer time. When I look at this dress, I associate it with summer because of the lightness and the whimsical embodiment of summer.
Although I love the length of my hair and the fact that it is naturally straight, when I see Judy's voluminous and bouncy curls that cascade down past her shoulders, I am green with envy. Her thick hair and the overall fullness of her curls have been replicated for a number of years and I am happy to admit that I have also tried copying this look. However, my hair doesn't hold those curls for long periods of time. This definitely breaks my heart, but I like to dream that this look will work for me one day!
There have been a few instances in my life where I have been told that I resemble Judy Garland in terms of looks. Even though I personally do not see the resemblances, I take this as a huge compliment. I have always thought of Judy to be one of the most timeless looking women of her generation and to even be compared to her in any way, shape or form is probably one of the best things that I can be told.
"I can live without money, but I cannot live without love." ~Judy Garland

You wore jeans and a button-up white shirt. It had once been your brother's. I wish I had known that night would be the beginning of a bad idea.
They weren't lying when they said you find what you're looking for in the person you never thought you would. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think that you would muster up all of the love I didn't know I had. I love and hate you for that.
Your love was not easy to achieve. When I think of us, I am still uncertain if I ever had it. Maybe I had disillusioned myself. Maybe I was in denial. Maybe I was afraid.
Whatever the reason, the conclusion remains the same: I wanted you. And I was a mess, but I wanted you. And I wish you wanted me to the same extent that I wanted you.
"Stay." I said one night in bed, just above a whisper, a simple request, meant only for you. You were getting ready to leave, like always.
We had been like this, many times, yet we were always too afraid to acknowledge that we could be something more. That we would always be something more. There wasn't a chance in hell that I was going to be the one to initiate things, but how long could I be a lover in the dark?
"Why?" I bit my swollen lips, still sore, and shrugged my worn shoulders.
"Because why?"
"Because isn't an answer. Tell me why you want me to stay." It's not meant to be a statement; it's a question. Because you love me, don't you, is what you want to say. You're just not strong enough. Nothing can train you to hear 'no.' My vision suspiciously became blurred.
"Because. Because, because, because, because. Stupid fucking word. There's always a reason with because. Don't eat too much candy because you will get fat. Don't leave the lights on in the bathroom because it wastes electricity. Don't throw your heart away because you're going to get it thrown right back at you, twice as hard, and you're going to miss it, and it's going to fall and hit the ground and break. God never said because. He just said, Thou shalt not kill. Take it or leave it, guys. Don't ask questions, I'm God."
"What's your point?" You knew how to goad me.
"Well, maybe I want to be God, okay? Maybe I want to say something I don't need a reason for. Maybe I want to eat candy and leave the bathroom light on and be in love! And if you don't like it, well that's too bad, it must suck to be you. And maybe I just want to say stay. Maybe there's no because. What does it matter? I could give you a hundred reasons and you still wouldn't."
My chin sunk into the pillows. Now that the words are gone, there's nothing left to hold it up.
You were holding me. When did that happened? How could I not have noticed? Something that feels like this…and that's when I realized this is why you don't notice breathing or your cells dividing or blinking or your heart beating. As a child I always wondered, this thing, it keeps me alive, how come I don't notice it?
But you do notice. When something goes wrong, you notice it. When apiece is stolen from the puzzle, the picture doesn't look right. But when it's slotted back into place…
When our lips collide, it tastes like iron and regret. I found myself curling into you, your arms wrapped tight around me, the steady thump of your heartbeat under my ear. I've lost track of how long it's been since either of us have said a word, but somehow that primary organ speaks for you.
"Give me a reason," You said. Asked. Pleaded. "Give me one reason."
I sighed softly, like a heavenly prayer, meant only for you.
"Because I'm tired of being scared that every time you're gone, you won't come back." The mouth is a puppet of the brain, but the eyes belong to the heart, to the soul. The heart can say please, can plead, without blushing. It's already red.
You didn't come back. A part of me wasn't even surprised.
I told you I loved you as you told me that you were leaving. That was always the theme of our relationship; loved and leaving.

It always seemed sad to me that whenever the name Sharon Tate is said, it is always in hushed reverent tones. Her name is usually followed by, "Oh that poor woman" or "how horrific was her murder." All of these sentiments are true. However, I think that only remembering Sharon Tate by her tragic murder in 1969 is an insult to her memory. It is best that we see the life in her death, not the death in her life.
When I hear her name, I don't think about the grotesque nature of her death. Instead, I think of the hypnotic presence she brought to the screen with her notable performances being The Fearless Vampire Killers and Valley of the Dolls. One of the qualities that has intrigued loyal followers of hers for years was the effortless beauty that she embodied, both inwardly and outwardly. Sharon was known for her natural beauty, which made her the subject of envy amongst celebrities like Elizabeth Taylor and Kim Novac. Sharon's effortless beauty and glowing personality made her a threat to other Hollywood bombshells.
When you break it down to just the bare facts, Sharon's style reflected her personality: simple and free-spirited. To contrast with the styles of celebrities like Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor, Sharon's style had a no-fuss approach. Sharon had been known to wear leather straps on her feet to look like sandals so that she could walk into restaurants and shops in Beverly Hills. She was a true free-spirited flower child, that's for sure!
I once had an ornate beaded elastic that was similar to the leather straps that Sharon would wrap around her feet. I wanted to see if I could get away with wearing these elastics like Sharon and once I was done, it looked like I was wearing a pair of delicate sandals. I went to a few stores and was anxiously waiting for someone to kick me out because I violated the "no shoes no service" policy. No one noticed. I'd like to think Sharon was acting as my little fashion guardian that day.
Similar to Marilyn Monroe, Sharon's personal style was one that reflected the elegance and importance of looking and feeling like a woman. Her clothes were not baggy and, much like myself, she was not into the Granny Coat fad that others during the 1960s were interested in. Instead, Sharon preferred her clothes be tailored to her body. She liked tailored clothes, even most of her Peasant Tops were tailored to her figure.
In reviewing her style, Sharon was very eclectic, very free-spirited, and a combination of sexy while embodying a child-like innocence. This added to her overall appeal because she was a beautiful juxtaposition of a Hollywood sex symbol and the girl next door.
Particularly known for her love of looking natural, she wore make-up seldomly. However, when she did wear make-up, Sharon was sure to have her make-up down simplistically rather than caked on.
Sharon created a deceivingly simplistic art of applying thick, black, false eyelashes for that desired dramatic affect. To contrast with her ash brown and mousy blonde hair, Sharon would apply brown eye shadow around her lips.
Something that I always found interesting about Sharon was that instead of applying heavy lipsticks or glosses to her lips, Sharon faithfully applied vaseline to her lips. That's right, vaseline! She was known to keep little jars in her car.
Sharon is proof that you don't have to cake on make-up or wear super extravagant outfits to be sexy or beautiful. Sometimes the biggest statement that one can do is just be loyal to the styles that truly reflect who you are.
"I'm just me. If I am sexy, it's just something I do naturally, like picking up a knife and fork to eat. I think people who try to be sexy are the most unsexy people in the world." ~ Sharon Tate

Today marks National Siblings Day and, for me, it is merely a reminder of how lucky I truly am to have the two hooligans I call my sisters in my life. There is a special bond that only sisters will understand and even though I can try to explain what that is like, I know that I will never be able to verbalize just how lucky and blessed I feel to have these two crazy girls in my life.
Don't get me wrong, we're like every other trio of sisters: we fight, we steal each other's clothes, we nag one another and we are the furthest thing from being perfect. But what really makes us a special set of sisters is that at the end of the day, all we really want is to be with each other. No matter what. And I think that makes all the difference. No matter how many boys, friends or hobbies come and go in my life, my sisters are my true soul mates. And I don't understand how anyone else could possibly think otherwise.
I never knew what life was like as an only child, and that is a life I am glad I never knew. Melissa has been one of the only people I ever knew who was consistently always in my life. All of my earliest memories have always been centred around Melissa and I growing up and raising a little bit of hell everywhere we went. To this day, Melissa is still one of my most trusted partners-in-crime.
In the most recent years, I have seen Melissa evolve into a headstrong and independent woman, who has inspired all who have met her. Her travels in recent years are ones marked by inspiration, courage and a desire to explore not only the deepest corners of the earth, but also within herself. Every new adventure that she goes on, Melissa inspires me just a little bit more than before.
Melissa would always say that her earliest memory was running down the hallway of our parents' old apartment, but other than that, she doesn't recall a memory where she didn't have a sibling or two running behind her. And the truth is, I've been running behind her for twenty-one years. And as I've followed after her for the last twenty-one years, I'm not sure if she ever realized that the person I most wanted to be was her.
The baby of the family, Jenna is probably one of the few people I would take a bullet for. Her inward beauty is a reflection on the outside and I couldn't be more proud of the little lady that she has shaped herself out to be. Even though I'm the older sister and I am supposed to be teaching her about life and the world, I find that I am learning more from Jenna everyday not just about life, but about what it means to be a genuinely good person. And for that, I thank you Jenna.
I've always been super protective of Jenna and the reason for that is simple: Jenna is my person. She is the one person I can think of who instantly makes me happy and she is one of the few people in my life that I want to have around all the time. From our famous sleepovers to our shared love of Jaws, no one will ever measure up to the love I have for her. My goal everyday will be to protect her and make sure that she is okay.
We always joke and say that we're going to baby Jenna until she's a little old lady. And the truth is, I couldn't think of a better way to live my life than looking after her. No matter how old she gets, I will always think of Jenna as that little blob who has brought more happiness and joy to my life than she will ever know.
To anyone who has sisters, always remember how lucky you are to have such people in your life. There are so many people out there who would give anything to have what you have. No matter how many petty fights you have about stolen clothes or stupid boys, your sisters are there to love you through it all.
Your sisters are your constant companions, built-in best friends and your soul mates. Never take that for granted.

It's impossible to think of Marilyn Monroe and not associate her with the timeless fashion of the Old Hollywood Era. Her love of classic red lipstick, simple and eclectic patterns and infamous curves have turned Marilyn Monroe into one of the most iconic women in the world.
I was about fourteen years old when I decided that I wanted to model my wardrobe into something that Marilyn Monroe wore. A proud Old Soul, I loved that Marilyn's wardrobe was womanly rather than something that teeny-boppers would wear. Everything that Marilyn wore was a celebration to the body and curves of a woman, which made me feel empowered and strong whenever I wore an inspired piece of hers. Thankfully, that feeling hasn't gone away now that I am twenty-one.
I'd like to think that Marilyn and I have very similar tastes in fashion. I can be frequently seen in simple shades of black and white, two shades that Marilyn rocked way back in the day. As well, because of Ms. Monroe, I love prints such as polka dots, gingham and stripes. These kinds of prints embody the looks of Spring and Summer, the seasons when I feel that my closet is at its absolute prime.
While she celebrated her body by dressing like a lady, Marilyn never took herself seriously either. She had fun with wild prints and made sure that they matched the warm and liberating seasons of spring and summer. Marilyn's go-to prints were flowers, gingham and the ever-loved polka dots.
Something that I love about Marilyn is that she can go from one extreme to another. One second she's looking like a summer flower child, and the next she's using bold and simple stripes to display her much more demure and sophisticated nature. Never underestimate the power of a black and white striped turtleneck or sheath dress. Simplicity like this is one of the sexiest things in the world.
Marilyn Monroe's infamous statement, "Diamonds are a girl's best friend" proves to still be relevant today, as any kind of accessory – diamond or not – will really make or break your outfit. If you can find pieces that marry pearls and diamonds, you are on the right track to vintage fashion.
Cat eye sunglasses are a trend that Monroe began at the peak of her career and have been a fad that hasn't gone away. They come in a plethora of styles and colours and you can find them at a reasonable price at any local mall or thrift shop near you.
To complete the full Marilyn Monroe look, spray a dash of Chanel No.5, touch up your lipstick and you are ready to bring the fashion of the past into the future of tomorrow.
"I'm very definitely a woman, and I enjoy it" ~ Marilyn Monroe

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The foreclosure crisis and the demolition of thousands of properties in Cleveland appears to have an unintended, but positive consequence: the emergence of a farm movement in the city.
Cleveland City Council has begun to consider an ordinance that would allow urban farmers to set up stands to sell the fruits of their harvest in residential neighborhoods.
And council approved legislation Monday that permits the Cuyahoga County Board of Developmental Disabilities to create a garden on City Hall property at East Ninth Street and Lakeside Avenue.
Councilman Joe Cimperman said he hopes the urban food movement will help fill gaps in the "food desert" he said exists in many Cleveland neighborhoods. Cimperman believes better access to fruits and vegetables will contribute to healthier lifestyles for Clevelanders, whom he said have a lower life expectancy than residents in affluent suburbs.
"We are empowering Clevelanders to make use of their available land and resources to better their lives," Cimperman said.
The proposed legislation also changes zoning restrictions so that gardens can be created on vacant property, eases restrictions on fencing and allows urban gardeners to compost.
Cleveland has been a leader nationwide in the urban farming movement. Council approved legislation in February 2009 that allows residents to keep chickens, ducks, rabbits and beehives on their property.
Not all of Cimperman's colleagues support the idea of farm stands. Councilman Anthony Brancatelli said he supports the urban garden movement but would not vote for legislation that includes the farm stands. Brancatelli doesn't like the idea of having farm stands on vacant lots in residential districts.
Legislation approved Monday night permits the Cuyahoga County Board of Developmental Disabilities to create a 3,000-square-foot garden on City Hall property next year. Designed by landscape architect James McKnight, the garden will feature vegetables, fruits and herbs.
The disabilities board currently operates a 1-acre farm with the Ohio State University Extension Service on the site of the old Stanard Elementary School in the St. Clair-Superior neighborhood. The board hopes to eventually operate 10 urban farms in Cuyahoga County employing more than 50 adults with developmental disabilities.

Oil pipeline operators and maintenance workers monitor and conduct the day to day operations of oil pipelines and associated facilities.
Control Centre Operator, Equipment Operator, Gauger, Tank Farm Operator
In Canada, the federal government groups and organizes occupations based on a National Occupational Classification (NOC) system. This alis occupation may not reflect the entire NOC group it is part of. Data for the NOC group can apply across multiple occupations.
The NOC system is updated every 5 years to reflect changes in the labour market. Government forms and labour market data may group and refer to an occupation differently, depending on the system used. Here is how this occupation has been classified over time:
Interest in controlling process start-up, shut-down and troubleshooting; and in operating electronic or computerized control panels from a central control room; and in shutting down, isolating and preparing process units or production equipment for maintenance
Interest in analyzing information to develop operator procedures for normal operations, start-up and shut-down of units; and in participating in safety audits and programs, and in providing emergency response when required
Interest in speaking with team members and trainees to authorize or co-sign maintenance work orders; in ensuring adherence to safety and environmental regulations; may work in a team with shared supervisory responsibilities and participate in training other workers
The interest code helps you figure out if you'd like to work in a particular occupation.
It's based on the Canadian Work Preference Inventory (CWPI), which measures 5 occupational interests: Directive, Innovative, Methodical, Objective and Social.
Each set of 3 interest codes is listed in order of importance.
A code in capital letters means it's a strong fit for the occupation.
A code in all lowercase letters means the fit is weaker.
Oil pipeline operators and maintenance workers ensure that pipeline systems operate safely, efficiently and reliably. Pipeline systems transport oil and oil products via:
Workers' responsibilities vary from one company to another. In general, however, oil pipeline maintenance workers:
Although their overall duties are similar, different types of oil pipeline maintenance workers have different levels of responsibility.
In some companies, tank farm operators are employed at pumping stations, usually located near tank farms (large storage facilities for oil and oil products). From control rooms, they:
Tank farm operators report directly to station supervisors and are expected to assume supervisory responsibilities when station supervisors are absent.
In other companies, control centre operators monitor and control pipeline activities for large regions (for example, all of Alberta and British Columbia) from one centralized control centre. From control rooms, they:
Other pipeline workers, often called gaugers and utility workers, may work at pumping stations. In general, gaugers:
Under direct supervision, gaugers also may:
Utility workers work closely with gaugers and assist them with their work. As they gain experience, utility workers usually are given more responsibility and, after two or three years, may advance to gauger positions. In addition to their work with gaugers, utility workers are responsible for general maintenance, housekeeping in the pumping station (washing walls, cleaning floors) and general site safety.
Pipeline systems operate 24 hours a day, year round, so control centre operators may work 8 or 12 hour shifts. They usually work in an office. Other workers may work 8 hour day shifts.
Utility workers and gaugers work both indoors and outdoors in all types of weather conditions. They are required to lift items weighing up to 20 kilograms.
All pumping station personnel must be acquainted with safety procedures associated with handling oil and oil products.
Oil pipeline operators and maintenance workers need the following characteristics:
They should enjoy taking responsibility, adhering to prescribed work procedures and doing physically active work.
In an emergency, oil pipeline operators must be able to evaluate the situation and respond to it quickly and correctly. The safety of a number of people and the efficient operation of the oil pipeline system often depend on their good judgement. Control centre operators also need good colour vision to interpret colour computer graphics.
Oil pipeline operators and maintenance workers should enjoy controlling equipment, instruments and machinery, analyzing information to solve problems, and working with others.
Oil pipeline operators and maintenance workers usually require at least a high school education and a valid driver's license. Employers prefer to hire applicants who have related post-secondary education and training or experience in:
Larger employers generally provide in-house training programs for new employees and ongoing courses for experienced employees. Smaller companies may send employees to training providers for technical courses.
The following schools offer programs or courses that are related to this occupation but are not required to enter the field.
For a broad list of programs and courses that may be related to this occupation try searching using keywords.
There is currently no provincial legislation regulating this occupation in Alberta.
Specialized oil pipeline companies and some integrated oil and gas companies operate pipelines. Job applicants usually approach these companies directly for information about employment opportunities in pumping station operations.
Inexperienced individuals often start as summer help or utility workers and, with experience, advance to gauger positions. Gaugers may become tank farm operators and station supervisors. Additional courses and technical school programs often are required to move into electronics, control centre operations or mechanical maintenance positions.
Oil pipeline operators and maintenance workers are part of the larger 2011 National Occupational Classification 9232: Petroleum, gas and chemical process operators. In Alberta, 84% of people employed in this classification work in the following industries:
The employment outlook in this occupation will be influenced by a wide variety of factors including:
In Alberta, the J112: Petroleum, Gas and Chemical Process Operators occupational group is expected to have a below-average annual growth of 1% from 2016 to 2020. In addition to job openings created by employment turnover, 60 new positions are forecasted to be created within this occupational group each year.
In 2014, the Petroleum Labour Market Information (PetroLMI) Division of Enform (formerly the Petroleum Human Resources Council) indicated more than 20% of the workforce in the oil and gas industry is eligible for retirement, contributing to the labour demand required to support the industry.

They found no evidence of collusion, a noncrime, but the implication was Trump was treasonous. Of course they didn't. The whole thing was a set up to begin with, a fishing expedition made on the assumption that some crime would emerge, an "insurance policy" as the worthless Peter Strzok called it. I'm a little surprised the ethically challenged Mueller managed even this, as his track record in spite of the "rock solid" reputation is pretty weak, starting with Whitey Bulger and the anthrax investigation.
That all said, here's a blackpilled take: They didn't go further with this because they already won. No wall is being built, troops are still in Syria, they manipulated Trump into not having a rapprochement with Russia. Jared's their man on the inside.
So now that they have boxed him in, defanged him, distracted him, and defamed him for two years, there's no point in taking the heat of impeachment or indictment. They already won, the report is just the last act in the play, and also functions as a last ditch effort to restore the bruised reputation of our treasonous ruling class.

Psalm 118:10-19 (NKJV)
10 All nations surrounded me,
But in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
11 They surrounded me,
Yes, they surrounded me;
But in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
12 They surrounded me like bees;
They were quenched like a fire of thorns;
For in the name of the Lord I will [adestroy them.
13 You pushed me violently, that I might fall,
But the Lord helped me.
14 The Lord is my strength and song,
And He has become my salvation.
15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation
Is in the tents of the righteous;
The right hand of the Lord does valiantly.
16 The right hand of the Lord is exalted;
The right hand of the Lord does valiantly.
17 I shall not die, but live,
And declare the works of the Lord.
18 The Lord has chastened[b me severely,
But He has not given me over to death.
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness;
I will go through them,
And I will praise the Lord.
Matthew 21:7-16
7 They brought the donkey and the colt, laid their clothes on them, [aand set Him on them. 8 And a very great multitude spread their clothes on the road; others cut down branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 Then the multitudes who went before and those who followed cried out, saying:
"Hosanna to the Son of David!
'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!'
Hosanna in the highest!"
10 And when He had come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, "Who is this?"
11 So the multitudes said, "This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth of Galilee."
Jesus Cleanses the Temple
12 Then Jesus went into the temple [bof God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. 13 And He said to them, "It is written, 'My house shall be called a house of prayer,' but you have made it a 'den of thieves.' "
14 Then the blind and the lame came to Him in the temple, and He healed them. 15 But when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that He did, and the children crying out in the temple and saying, "Hosanna to the Son of David!" they were [cindignant 16 and said to Him, "Do You hear what these are saying?"
And Jesus said to them, "Yes. Have you never read,
'Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants
You have perfected praise'?"

Thai Curry (Red/Green)
I love the red curries while my husband is partial to the green curry... my daughter loves them both and infact she gets so excited when she gets a whiff of the fragrant curry and comes to the kitchen asking "Are you making my favorite curry?" While eating dinner she keeps claiming that she wishes she could eat this everyday... She even tolerates the spiciness of the dish just cause she loves it so much. I try to mix in more rice and even some ghee to make it less spicy for her and my son.... I usually add the entire can of the curry paste but if it's too much (read spicy) then you can add according to taste and store the remaining in a bottle in the refrigerator and use the next time or add to noodle dishes such as this.
Tofu - 16 oz, drained and pressed down with paper towels for an hour.
Veggies of choice - about 4 to 5 cups raw ( I've used eggplant, beans, cauliflower, broccoli, zucchini, carrots, sugar snap peas, bell peppers)
Maesri brand Red Curry/Green curry paste - 1 small can (4 oz) or to taste
Coconut milk - 1 to 1.5 cups
Salt - to taste
Chilli powder - half tsp (optional)
Oil - 1 tbsp, divided
1) Cut the well drained tofu into small cubes. Heat a wide skillet on medium and spray some oil or add a tsp of oil and spread evenly, place tofu cubes in a single layer and sprinkle some salt and chilli powder. Alternatively, toss tofu cubes with salt and chilli powder before browning them in the skillet. Allow to cook until the sides are browned slightly. Keep aside.
2) In a big pan, heat the remaining oil and add the veggies, saute them for a few minutes with a tiny bit of salt. Next add the curry paste and a few tbsp of water and stir until it coats the veggies uniformly.
3) After about 5 minutes, add 2-3 cups of water (or as required to form a thin gravy) and half cup coconut milk, when the mixture begins to boil, reduce flame, cover and allow to simmer until veggies are tender crisp.
4) Finally add 1 cup of thick coconut milk and the pan fried tofu cubes and keep on a slow simmer for another 5 minutes or so. Taste for salt and adjust if needed.
5) Fragrant Thai curry is now ready to serve with rice.

I'm an American citizen who was born and raised in the Philippines. I didn't move to the United States until I was 16, so I grew up speaking Tagalog, singing karaoke, and eating lumpia. The Philippines is my native homeland; the USA is my home. That's why the cover of "Flippin' Out" features both flags. Even though I'm based in southern California, I still have strong family connections in Luzon Province, where I visit every year, and I still maintain a powerful connection to the music I heard as a child -- the kundiman and harana. And I still speak English with a Filipino accent!
It's a play on the word Filipino. Sometimes we Filipinos call ourselves "Flips" or "Flippers." Even though I've been singing traditional Filipino songs in concerts for years, this is the first time I've actually recorded any of them for an album. And I sing them in Tagalog, my native tongue. My previous recordings were all in English. I thought it was time to honor my heritage.
No. We have a "Filipino Suite" in the middle of the record, sandwiched between songs in English. On a couple of songs I sing in both languages.
Jazzipino is the new musical genre that results from melding traditional Filipino folk songs and instruments with American jazz and blues. I'm trying to bring a sense of soul and swing to some of the most beautiful melodies and lyrics in the world, the songs of the Philippines.
One of my most gratifying rewards as a performing artist has been the response from English-speakers. They seem to be deeply moved by the music of my homeland, and they tell me that even though they don't know what the words mean they still know what I'm trying to say. It's like listening to Brazilian bossa nova. Most of us don't speak Portuguese, but we still love that groovy sound.
Every sincere artist that has come before me. Even though I don't sound anything like them, fearless, committed singers who are willing to take risks, like Rhiannon, Mark Murphy, Kellye Gray, and Bobby McFerrin inspire me. I admire Kurt Elling and Tierney Sutton for their technical excellence, even though, again, I don't sing anything like them. Of course, the immortal masters, like Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Carmen McCrea, Shirley Horn, Nancy Wilson -- they've all influenced me, as they have any singer with working ears.
For the sake of easy description, people sometimes compare my voice to certain well-known artists. When I was much younger, singing in karaoke joints, I was an imitator, trying to sound like Whitney Houston or Toni Braxton. But these days I'm trying my best to sound like me.
Humbled. I hear some similarities in the lower range of my voice. But singing remotely like Sarah is something you spend your whole life failing to do successfully.
My mom says I sang in my crib before I talked. When I was 3 or 4, I "entertained" passengers on the bus going to Manila -- whether they liked it or not! My childhood home, in Subic-Zambales, was always filled with music: Ella Fitzgerald, Mario Lanza, and the traditional kundiman of the Philippines.
When my first record, "Searching for the Soul," came out, many of the jazz DJs who played it assumed that my voice was the product of a "mixed" marriage, that I had a Filipina mom and an African-American father. Let me set the record straight: I am one-hundred-percent Filipino, both my mom and dad. They're the ones who gave me the voice I have. My dad's really tall, and he has a pretty deep voice. My mom is more like an operatic soprano.
The legendary Linda Hopkins lives nearby me in Los Angeles, and we're on the same record label. She's the sweetest, kindest, most loving woman in the world. But when she gets ready to belt it out, she becomes a very naughty 84-year-old. Linda Hopkins taught me that even nice girls can sing "dirty" every now and then.
Not true! In fact, I have a master's degree in Physical Therapy, and before I jumped off the cliff into music, I worked full-time as a physical therapist in hospitals and clinics. I still have a passion for healing, and I still try to treat patients at least once a week. My dream is to be able to open a free clinic in my hometown in the Philippines.
I'm one of the founders of a nonprofit organization called JazzPhil-USA. We put on an annual Filipino-American Jazz Festival, and our goal is to promote Filipino and Filipino-American jazz artists to the "mainstream" community. I've tried to feature some of these talented Filipinos on "Flippin' Out." I'm also the longtime alto voice in the five-part vocal harmony ensemble CRESCENDO.
I play piano, and I hope to soon be accomplished enough that I could accompany myself on one or two tunes at my concerts. Eventually, I would like to sing my original compositions. I enjoy collaborating with talented songwriters, and I hope on future albums to do more of my originals. My current record features lyrics I wrote, including new Tagalog lyrics to "Be My Love," and the notorious reworking of "My Funny Valentine," which came out as "My Funny Brown Pinay."
Keep your ears wide open. Listen, observe, and consider all the art you encounter. Study the masters. Study what others are doing in the here and now. And then find out what it is you have to add to the conversation. Be yourself!
In the days of my ancestors, when a man fancied a woman, he would go to her house at night with a guitar and serenade her beneath her window, singing songs of romance and passion that sometimes bordered on desperation. If she liked what she heard, the windows would open and he would be invited in to meet the family -- and a couple was born. I love these classic harana songs. They're unashamedly sentimental, and gorgeous! By recording an album of harana, I'm hoping to revive this beautiful tradition of the Philippines, and to inspire women -- not just men -- to initiate the romantic connection.

Marisa Ordonia was a talented student in high school, but as a queer student of color, she found the environment often felt oppressive and considered dropping out.
Her parents and school administrators saw her tremendous potential and encouraged her to try Running Start, in which she was able to take college classes while still in high school. She ended up becoming the first person in her immediate family to get a bachelor's degree and the first person in her extended family to go to law school. Now, as the Leadership for Justice Fellow, she hopes to give second chances to incarcerated youth, most of whom don't have the opportunities she did.
Ordonia, who will graduate in May, was selected for the two-year fellowship to work with TeamChild on The ReConnect Project, which will work to help incarcerated youth returning to their communities through direct legal representation and policy work to break down legal and societal barriers to success.
Recognizing the difference adequate support systems can make, she has worked to support young people in various ways through volunteer work and past employment before and during law school. Her broad experience includes providing legal information to homeless youth through Street Youth Legal Advocates of Washington; mentoring middle school girls through the Girls Rock! Program at Passages Northwest (now part of the YMCA); and working with the Asian Pacific Islander Freedom School to develop curriculum and facilitate workshops for high school youth.
During her time in law school, she served as an extern for the Washington Appellate Project, King County Superior Court Judge Mary Yu, and the Northwest Justice Project and interned with the Unemployment Law Project. Ordonia has also been an active board member of the Incarcerated Mothers Advocacy Project (IMAP) since her first year in law school. Ordonia's work with incarcerated parents was particularly significant in envisioning The ReConnect Project, as IMAP works with people who face a variety of legal barriers and access to justice issues.
"My experiences have shown me that there is more to a person than his or her past actions, and I believe that every child can succeed if given the opportunity to do so," Ordonia said. "I do not want to minimize the fact that some of the youth I will be working with have committed very serious crimes, but as a society we are beginning to embrace the notion that people, especially kids, deserve second chances and should not suffer lifelong consequences of criminal convictions and long periods of incarceration."
Youth released from custody can face restrictions on where they can live, barriers to school enrollment, disruptions in medical care, or termination of public benefits. Even well-laid plans for housing, education, treatment, and other supports can easily unravel. In order to address all of these barriers, Ordonia will provide direct legal representation and work on policy changes - with input from youth.
"What really makes Marisa unique and indispensable is a powerful combination of strong attorney/client communication skills, demonstrated experience and excellence in traditional legal skills, and an ability to take lessons learned from direct legal advocacy to envision and implement systemic improvements," said Anne Lee, executive director of TeamChild
Seattle University School of Law is the only law school in the state to offer a post-graduate fellowship. This fellowship was made possible through a gift from social justice champions Jim Degel '80 and his wife, Jeanne Berwick.
Ordonia, who is a Scholar for Justice at the law school, is thrilled to receive the fellowship.
"It feels amazing," she said. "I came to law school because I wanted to do community empowerment work. I am excited to use the skills I have gained in law school to not only provide meaningful second chances through direct legal services, but also to develop youth leadership in pushing for policies that will help young people avoid juvenile justice contact in the first place."

About Piaggio MP3
Piaggio MP3 is the finest offering from the Italian maker
Piaggio MP3 first appeared in market 2006 as a tilting three-wheeled scooter produced and marketed by an Italian manufacturer, Piaggio. Many versions have come to the forefront ever since the first model appeared in the market and have done tremendously well as 125 cc, 250 cc, 400 cc and 500 cc variants of the original. Philippines is a busy country. A busy country in the sense that its roads are always heavily populated and the best option to commute boils down to two or three-wheelers that offer light-speed response accompanied by solid reliability.
Features of Piaggio MP3
There are quite a few models under this brand that are worthy of discussion as they have all withstood the test of time and emerged victorious in the highly competitive automobile market in the Philippines.
This newly released model that offers near to prototype like exterior visuals along with outstanding performance that overshadows most of its competitors. The vehicle retains the dimensions of its 400 cc counterparts and introduces features like LED headlights, lower grille, 493 cc 5-valve SOHC twin-spark engine that now runs quieter. It can attain maximum horsepower of 40.1 at 7200 RPM along with 34 lb-ft of torque energy at 5250 RPM. This engine is paired to a CVT transmission to bring out the best it has to offer. This three-wheeler is the perfect example of how far automobile engineering that progressed over the years.
This 400 cc three-wheeler comes with a Multi-Valve Super Engine aided by electronic injection and liquid cooling that can produce a maximum of 34 HP and 37 lb-ft of torque at 7500 RPM and 5000 RPM respectively. It has a fuel tank capacity of 12 liters and can reach up to 148 km/h of maximum speed.
Reasons for popularity in the Philippines
Piaggio MP3 series is popular all around the world, especially in the European countries where light-weight scooters are a rage. In the Philippines, there is very high demand for two wheelers but not so much when it comes to three-wheelers such as these. Niche' audience that the MP3 series enjoy can be mostly attributed to its stellar power to performance ratio that can leave any similarly priced motorbike in the dust. If you are a fan of speed and excessive amounts of style, then this MP3 series of three-wheelers is just what you need.

BEVERLY HILLS — The 19th annual Night of 100 Stars viewing party is the place to be on Sunday, February 22, at the iconic Beverly Hills Hotel. The awards night gala, produced by super-agent and renowned poker player Norby Walters, is a black tie affair that includes a red carpet and a formal sit-down dinner where attendees can enjoy the Oscars.
Walters's publicist Edward Lozzi, of Lozzi P.R., gave an update of the event to Canyon News and said that about 150-200 Academy members including leading actors and icons will walk down the red carpet, which is saturated with media outlets from local to international broadcasters. In fact, the media coverage is so large that the Beverly Hills Hotel had to supply a ballroom for the media alone. Everyone flocks to get a glimpse of the stars attending the second biggest red carpet aside from the Oscars!
An update of the celebrity attendees include Robert Loggia, James Cromwell, Hector Elizondo, Tony Shaloub, Dennis Hazewort, Steve Collins, Stefanie Powers, Mimi Rogers, Rob Schneider, Lou Diamond Phillips, Jennifer Tilly, Rosie Perez, Bo Derek, Eric Roberts, Lolita Davidovich, John Corbett, Camryn Manheim, Laura Dern, John Schneider, Dennis Haysbert, Sasha Cohen, Gerald McRainey and actress Jenna Jameson who is now retired from the adult entertainment industry. The special guests to appear amid the various stars are pilot Chelsey B. Kellenberger and his wife who were invited for a very special Oscar weekend! Kellenberger is a real-world hero whose fast actions saved many during the Hudson River crash.
So what is it like to attend an Oscar viewing party like the prestigious Night of 100 Stars? According to Lozzi, there are two parties going on at the same time: the cocktail party for those who would like to mingle at the bar and talk, and the sit-down dinner for those who purchased the $1000 ticket. Each table is equipped with its own screen.
"When a commercial breaks, all hell breaks loose! People take a restroom break, smoke breaks, and some even steal a kiss under the stars—it all happens…Then when the commercials are over everyone sits back down for some serious watching," Lozzi said.
One fact remains certain, with a name like Night of 100 Stars, how can you go wrong?

Being an introvert
Throughout my life I have found social gatherings exhausting. At school and university, I sought solitude during the breaks, when other people sought social interactions. To get through the day I needed to spend time alone. This is now true when I'm at conferences.
This preference made my three experiences of working in an office difficult (each job lasted less than a year), and had a strong influence on my decision to work from home. I feel very fortunate that I have a profession where working from home is the norm.
My preferred form of socializing is in groups of up to 4-5 people, preferably somewhere quiet where we can talk. I have largely avoided going to parties since about 7th grade. My discomfort in crowds has meant that I have been to very few rock concerts or demonstrations. The desire to see my favourite bands play live or to support good causes is usually outweighed by my knowledge of how the crowd would make me feel.
Looking back, I now realize that much of what I found difficult when I moved to Israel at the age of 9 was not acclimatization problems or a culture clash, but just another expression of the introversion. I tried to fit in with my peers, but often social gatherings or parties ended with me in tears, for reasons that I couldn't explain. I was something of an outcast and a loner throughout school and university, but I now realize that this was just as true before I came to Israel. I used to think I didn't fit in because I was different, being half-English and half-Israeli, so I couldn't belong fully to either culture. In fact, it was something more primal in my nature, and would probably have been expressed no matter what circumstances I encountered.
Being introverted is not the same as being shy. I have worked hard over the past years to overcome my shyness, so that I no longer expect to be rejected or ignored by other people, and also so I don't care so much what others think of me. This has been a very important step for me. However, I don't know if or how the introversion can be changed. When I try to go outside my comfort zone, I inevitably end up feeling uncomfortable! Perhaps introversion is an innate tendency, while shyness was something I learned and had to unlearn.
I think extreme introversion like mine is a problem, because I believe human beings are social animals, and we find meaning in life through our interactions with other humans. Everything that people do that makes their lives meaningful has some relation to other people. This includes family interactions like raising children, caring for ageing parents, and of course intimacy with a partner. Our work is done to be of some benefit to other people, and our creative lives are intended to have some influence on an audience. Our ideals and values reflect what we consider to be the best way for human beings to live.
In this respect, I am fortunate to have a close relationship with my husband and family, and my work and my creative writing give meaning to my life and benefit other people without forcing me to spend hours in the company of others each day.
Western society seems to be biased towards extroversion. There is an expectation that people "should" be social, and loners are often treated with suspicion and/or pity. I imagine that many people are introverts without being aware of this, not understanding why social situations are so difficult for them, perhaps accepting the judgment of others or even feeling guilty for not wanting to socialize. I hope this can change. Awareness of the differences between introverts and extraverts should be raised, and society needs to find ways to value and nurture both types of people and allow them to live fulfilling lives.

What a lovely blogpost!And it brought tears to my eyes because although I am not shy or an introvert I had the experience of changing my home, moving from Turkey to Greece at an early age, and most of the time I felt I didn't belong!I sometimes feel like that even now after so many years as I have so many more and different hobbies than the people around me have. Even my extreme pen palling (I had 100 pen pals when I was a kid) was considered out of this world!Oh well!AriadnefromGreece!

I'm curious how you overcame your shyness. As an introvert, that's something I struggle with. I actually don't know if I would be called "shy" or not!
Thanks for writing this,

I know how you feel! I've always been introverted and shy and at times I was really overwhelmed. I always felt like a misfit because I wasn't that social. I've been working on myself as well, at least in the shyness department. I think introversion (and extroversion) is a natural tendency that depends on your brain structure.
A few weeks ago I read a book called "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking" by Susan Cain. It's fascinating and helps you embrace your introversion. (I even wrote a blog post on it - http://yaeltranslation.com/2013/07/12/book-review-quiet )

President Russell M. Nelson
President Nelson's family. Photo from Insights From a Prophet's Life: Russell M. Nelson.
President Russell M. Nelson had an intensely busy life as a surgeon whose expertise was in demand around the world. He also served in demanding leadership roles in the Church—stake president, general auxiliary president, and regional representative, to name a few. And yet somehow his large family did not feel deprived of his attention. In fact, they felt they were his first priority. Much of the credit goes to Dantzel.
President M. Russell Ballard, who was five years behind Russell Nelson through high school and college, later reflected: "How he was able to do everything he did with the heavy schedule he carried in his surgical and medical practice is a miracle. He is a miracle man when it comes to getting things done" (Church News/KSL Interview, January 9, 2018).
Years later, when she was a mother, fifth daughter Sylvia would explain: "I think my father's secret was that when he's at work, he's 100 percent at work. When he's home, he's 100 percent at home. When he's at church, he's 100 percent there. I think that's how he balanced things. I don't know—he seemed to do it effortlessly" (Church News/KSL Interview, January 10, 2018).
President Nelson taught his nine daughters and his son to ski and also water-ski, balancing them between his legs on those first runs down the mountain or on the lake. He read to them when they were young, and he taught them to ride bicycles and drive a car. During the more than 20 years there were only daughters in the family, he showed his girls how to mow the lawn and shovel snow from the sidewalks. . . .
It was a team effort. For twenty years, Dantzel sang with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, which meant she was gone from home every Sunday morning. "Daddy would take over and try to curl our hair and get everybody dressed," said Sylvia. "He's very prompt, though. He is never, ever late. He'd be out in the car waiting for us to go to church. If we weren't there when he had to go, we'd have to walk. We only needed to learn that lesson one time. He kept the home fires burning when Mother was gone. That's the kind of relationship they had. It was very sweet and very giving to each other.

Welcome to our crypto sermon, on this fine spring day. All are welcome.
If you're joining us for the first time, we're thankful you could join us. Please greet your neighbors as you find a seat.
May has started off strong for most cryptocurrencies, but we are paying closer attention to blockchain projects which are launching product; not just marketing and reiterating their white papers.
Before we begin another sermon, we must tell you, what we state within these (internet) walls is for entertainment purposes only. We never offer financial advice of any kind. The cryptocurrency gospel we'll share is from our own eyes, and we are not financial advisors. Do your own due diligence and research before your next steps.
Buffet and Munger Believe Not, in Cryptocurrency
This past Saturday, the annual Berkshire Hathaway meeting took place in Omaha, Nebraska (our western neighbors).
There has not been a moment yet where Buffet and Munger have expressed positive thoughts toward cryptocurrency, and it sounds as if they're even more bearish than before.
Buffet stated that Bitcoin, "is probably rat poison squared."
Munger, while answering a question from the audience, stated "it's like somebody else is trading turds, and you decide you can't be left out."
We won't argue that Buffet and Munger are successful in their own right, but we want to leave you with 2 facts to ponder.
The first is the fact that Munger wanted regulators to let up on Wells Fargo, after they committed fraud. As one example of their fraud, Wells Fargo employees were ordering credit cards for their customers, without their consent.
The second fact is that Buffet has not invested in tech companies because he "doesn't understand their business models." He missed investing in Google and Amazon in their earlier days. He admitted his mistakes.
Will he admit his mistakes in the blockchain space? We see a similar story unfolding…
Beware the Tweets
With Twitter granting open conversation between thought leaders and the masses, there are more opportunities for scammers to prey upon the naive.
One of those areas are cryptocurrency giveaways. Take a moment to go to Twitter and find recent Tweets from an influencer, thought leader, or a larger blockchain project account.
Now look at the replies around their Tweets. Notice anything interesting?
Scammers are replicating the account photos, sneaking in similar characters into their account name, and offering "giveaways" for anyone who sends a portion of crypto to the listed address.
Example: @Vertcoin is an authentic account, but a @Vertc0in account, with the exact profile image, will instantly be replying to all of @Vertcoin's Tweets, offering a giveaway.
While we have witnessed Twitter crack down on scammer accounts, the problem seems to be out of hand at the moment.
The easiest way to avoid the scams is to realize there are no giveaways; especially on Twitter.
Is Ethereum a Security?
One year ago, ETH was right at $80. At the time of this sermon, we see it sitting close to $800—still the second largest cryptocurrency in circulation.
You may not know Ethereum has been around since 2014, and now regulators are deciding on whether or not the tokens should be classified as a security.
If ETH is considered a security, cryptocurrency exchanges would likely need to comply almost immediately with the SEC on the token. This would slow short-term progress, but it's hard to say if it would benefit the cryptocurrency space long term.
Changes in regulation would affect ICOs, as most utilize the ERC20 token built using the Ethereum blockchain, and it could mean population control in ventures such as Crypto Kitties.
Please, don't hurt the kitties.

On Thursday a four-page memo detailing extensive FISA court abuse was made available to the entire House of Representatives Thursday.
The contents of the memo are so explosive, says Journalist Sara Carter, that it could lead to the removal of senior officials in the FBI and the Department of Justice and the end of Robert Mueller's special counsel investigation.
Everyone now wants to get their hands on the memo that will prove Obama, the DOJ, the FBI, and the Clinton campaign colluded to sabotage presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Wikileaks is now offering $1 million for access to the FISA abuse memo.

Pamela Carter Student at This School - Grad Year 2012
First, I attend The Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC), Catonsville. My experiences have been favorable the past 20 years. All core classes such as Science, Math, English was great. The professors were experts in the subject matter. Not only experts, but they used repetative techniques to reinforce the information. This is my second time at matriculating at CCBC. The faculty have been extremely supportive and have encouraged me along with other students to establish a Student Association for the Health Informatics and Information Technology Program. I have gained knowledge, as well as leadership skills this time around.
Sherri Garrett Student at This School - Grad Year 2013
This is a great school for working adults. Very convenient hours and many choices. So many evening classes are offered and the teachers are very knowledgable and accomodating to their students. Love the school.

Small claim courts are intended as a simple way for individuals and small businesses to resolve local disputes quickly and inexpensively when low dollar amounts are involved. However, things get more complicated when the person or entity you want to sue lives in another state. In certain cases, you can sue out-of-state defendants in your home state. Failing that, you may have no choice but to file a case in a state where the other party lives or works. Only you can decide if your case is worth that effort.
Suing Out-of-State Defendants
Small claims courts relax procedural rules so that litigants can get in and out with minimal expense and time. However, the due process protections of the Constitution still require that the party sued, called the defendant, must have some contact with the state in order to be sued there.
Some states permit you to sue a party who lives out-of-state in your local small claims court if you seek damages for an automobile accident the defendant had in your state. Others permit such a suit if the out-of-state defendant owns land in your state that is the basis of your complaint. It is also possible to sue an individual if you manage to serve him while he is in the state.
If no exceptions apply, you will have to sue an out-of-state defendant in the small claims court in her home state.
Get Informed About Small Claims Rules
If you decide to proceed, start with gathering information. Not every state has small claims courts, and not every state with small claims courts permits nonresidents to sue residents. Carefully investigate the rules of the state you plan to sue in. If it doesn't have a small claims court -- called justice courts or magistrate courts in some states -- you are out of luck.
If the state does have small claims courts, visit the website of the court nearest to where the defendant lives. Determine whether state rules permit a nonresident to bring suit in small claims court. Many do, like Connecticut.
If so, find out whether a procedure exists for filing a small claims action through the Internet or by mail. Determine whether that state permits you to be represented by an attorney in small claims court. Many don't, but some, like Iowa, do.

Calculate Costs
With this information in hand, calculate the costs involved in pursuing the action in another state. The minimal small claims court fees might be augmented tenfold by the cost of travel to the state for hearings, local attorney fees, the cost of investigation and the time and inconvenience involved. According to legal experts at Nolo Press, the distance involved in out-of-state small claims lawsuits tend to make them expensive and unwieldy.
Only you can make the determination as to whether, in your circumstances, it is worth the expense. If you live a few miles from the state border, the case is different than if you are a Californian who wants to sue someone from Maine. Factor in the amount you might win and your chances of winning. Consider whether the defendant might file a counterclaim against you.
Follow Court Procedure
If you decide to file in another state, learn and follow the small claims rules. Some states require you attempt informal resolution before you sue. This means writing a letter to the defendant explaining your case and asking for compensation. Fill out the complaint form by providing the information about the defendant and your case. Arrange for the defendant to be served with the complaint, and book your tickets for the trial date.
If you are suing in a different state, open settlement negotiations early. A settlement for less than you feel entitled to may be worthwhile if it allows you to get compensation and avoid travel fees.

While watching some of our returning shows on Hulu (Mainly "Gotham" and that Sunday night Fox block) we kept seeing ads for "Scream Queens". My wife wanted to start watching it because of Niecy Nash and I thought it looked okay so I said let's give it a shot. On Hulu, technically, the first two episodes only count as one, so on Hulu I'm only five episodes in but per iMDB there have been six episodes thus far, about halfway through the first season, so I've decided to type some words about it rather than do an episode-by-episode review (no time for that, sorry) or a summary at the end of the first season.
The easiest way to describe "Scream Queens" is that it is either brilliant or stupid but the fact that I keep watching it tends to make me think it's more of the first. During the most recent episode, for example, the girls are seen dancing- because that's how you end a slumber party- as the Red Devil Killer looks on outside the window. As much as that makes me think it's cheesy, I kind of want to see a number of these girls picked off one by one, week after week, and let's face it, isn't that what a horror movie is about anyway?
The best way to describe the plot of "Scream Queens" is that it's a bunch of girls being slowly killed off and they are all in the same sorority, though something once happened there many years ago where a baby was born, the mother died and no one knows quite what happened to the baby and so this is what is unfolding as part of the mystery. Really, through all of the comedy, drama and action this show is overall a mystery waiting to be solved. But it's not as simple as a killer waiting to be revealed-- it's about why the killer is killing and what happened with that baby all those years ago.
Though I never take the show too seriously because then you think back and remember they had a character once named "Deaf Taylor Swift", but she was buried in the dirt up to her neck and met her death by being run over by a lawnmower, which might seem gruesome but was really kind of cool. While some of the pledges in this house are outcasts, the main girls make me think of "Mean Girls" and, I mean, really, who hasn't ever thought about "Scream" and "Mean Girls" crossing over together?
My only concern with this show is what they will do after the first season. As main cast members are decreasing in number, I would assume that the killer and the purpose behind the killings would be revealed by the end of this first season. Regardless of who it is revealed to be (Predatory Lez "knew it") and how they explain this whole thing, I'm just wondering what that means for a second season or if there were ever even plans for one. The one thing I do know is that I will continue to watch "Scream Queens" until it the end of the first season because, you know, closure, but if the show is somehow able to pull off a season two that might be the greatest mystery solved overall. (Keep in mind, at the end of "Orange is the New Black" Season One people said there was no way they could make a second season. Hopefully "Scream Queens" will end in a way which leaves us open for a second season because it's one of my favorite guilty pleasures right now)

Confession: I finished this dress about two months ago. I took the photos about a month ago. Oops.
I'm wearing it today, and that's what reminded me to finally put this up.
The dress is another "Staple Scout"– a mashup of the April Rhodes Staple Dress and the Grainline Studio Scout Tee. I won't say too much about it, because construction-wise it's exactly the same as my first Staple Scout, so you can read up about it here if you'd like more information. I love my two Staple Scouts– they make a perfect go-to summer work dress. Super comfortable with their shirred waistlines, and made of cool, comfortable cotton lawn, pull one on and I'm ready to go. I really should make more, because I have to keep reminding myself not to wear them TOO often! On my own time, I definitely prefer dresses which let me feel the sun on my shoulders and upper chest. However, my job as an elementary school English teacher in Korea requires me to cover all that up– and these dresses are a good way to do it.
The only difference between this and the last one is the fabric. It's called Mochi Floral Lawn in teal, by Cotton and Steel. I bought mine from fabric.com, it's temporarily out of stock but they're due to get more in. I definitely recommend it. Compared to the Kaufman lawn I used for the last dress, it's not quite as soft, and it's smoother. It seems to wrinkle a bit more. But these differences are very slight, the fabric really does seem to wash and wear well. If this is the standard quality for Cotton and Steel lawn, I'm definitely going to be keeping an eye out for more in a different print!
I'm cheap with my fabric, and always want to use as little as possible of it so that I might be able to squeeze another project out of the leftovers. I recently made pj shorts from the leftovers of my other Staple Scout, so I'm expecting to do the same with the leftovers from this one, as both were 3 yard cuts. For that reason, I used a fat quarter of quilting cotton for the pockets– a kind of pale sea green (the colors are a bit off in the pic below, and I'm terrible with color names anyways, maybe that's not the right thing to call it) which I had lying around. I think it goes really well with the colors in the dress.
The pictures were taken by my friend Anna, who was visiting me from Canada, as we walked around the Naksan Art Village in Seoul. I had another friend come visit me literally two days after she left, so all up I had visitors staying with me for about a month– had a really great time, but didn't leave any time for sewing! Now I'm visitor-less for the next three weeks or so and trying to get myself in gear to get some sewing done in this window of opportunity, because after that I'll be busy for a month with two visitors and a trip to California!

A new version of the software for calculation of hertzian contact stress is available.
The software calculates hertzian contact stress and the subsurface stressen of the general contact of two elliptical bodies according to the hertzian theorie. Conditions are therefore small deformations in regard to the radii of curvature and pure elastic deformations. For example the contact pressure in contacts of rolling elements with races of a rolling bearing can be calculated. It has to be considered in this case that the radius of curvature for concave geometry has to be entered as negative number.
An example report of the calculation is available and you find the download of the software here. The software is available in english and german language. In addition there is an online version.

Giving the Gift of Wine via Facebook
You can't respond to a Facebook friend request with a wine request ... yet. But you can now legally buy and send wine to your Facebook friends who are 21 or older and live in a state where direct-to-consumer wine shipping is permitted.
Facebook Gifts debuted this past Tuesday, offering the social network's 1 billion users the chance to buy real-life gifts—options range from Williams-Sonoma gourmet snacks, to Sky Mall-type gadgets, to wine—for their Facebook friends. Facebook Gifts debuts just one month after Amazon introduced its own long-anticipated wine sales portal. Facebook's wine sales are being facilitated through ShipCompliant, which claims more than 2,000 winery clients throughout the United States. Both Facebook wine giver and receiver must be age 21 or older and, as with all wine shipments, the delivery must be signed for by an adult with a valid ID.
The number of ShipCompliant wine brands available through Facebook Gifts is growing, with nearly a dozen available at press time, including Amuse Bouche, Blackbird, Captûre, Domaine Chandon and Robert Mondavi Winery. Current selections range in price from $14 to $90, with an additional charge of $15 to $20 for processing, handling and shipping. (The Amazon Wine portal charges a $10 shipping fee; while Amazon's selection of wines is much broader, their availability is highly limited from state to state.)
Facebook's foray into social e-commerce began in May, at the same time the company went public, with the estimated $80 million acquisition of Karma Science, a small (16-employee) company that operated a gift-giving application which mined Facebook data about consumers to make recommendations of gifts that people in a user's circle might like. Karma, which also worked with ShipCompliant for its wine sales, took gift orders and informed the recipient, who then decided where to have the gift shipped, or to forego the gift and have its price donated to charity. Karma is Facebook's second-largest acquisition after photo application Instagram.
Facebook's wine sales will now operate the same way Karma's did. "Every winery that's participating on Facebook has an account with ShipCompliant, and it's that account that facilitates the acceptance of that order by the winery," said Jeff Carroll, ShipCompliant's vice president of strategy and compliance. "We check for all the various state laws and regulations, and then the winery, through our tools, can direct the fulfillment of that order."
Domaine Chandon, one of the first wines to be offered by Facebook, had been available through Karma earlier this year before Facebook purchased the company. "[Karma] came to me and asked me if [a social media wine portal] was something that we'd be interested in," said Matt Wood, estate director at Domaine Chandon. "I'm pretty keen to move into different spaces and am open to trying different channels and avenues, so I said 'yeah, absolutely.'"
"We were only live for a relatively short period of time before Facebook purchased [Karma] and then they obviously shut things down and did all the work to be able to relaunch it as Facebook Gifts," Wood said. "They're really focused on what they're doing and they've got the resources to make it work, so [the transition has] been seamless for us."
A small percentage of each wine purchase will go to Facebook, but that amount has not been disclosed. Wood did say, however, that the arrangement "makes sense financially for us."

When a teenage dancer was diagnosed with retinal dystrophy, a disease which left him almost completely blind, it seemed like he'd have to give up his passion.
Until, that is, 13-year-old Ben Yonattan and his family discovered that he could use Google Glass to expand his vision.
The disease had restricted his field of view to the size of a straw opening, but Glass' tiny screen combined with its camera could give him a much larger range.
Tonnatan set up a GoFundMe page to buy the $1,500 device, but didn't make enough to afford real frames, which cost extra.
Instead, he attached the electronic device to his existing pair of glasses using a rubber band.
These diagrams show the range of Yonattan's vision with Glass versus without it:
After WWMT News Channel 3 first aired the story last week, Yonattan started receiving support from people all over the world. He and his mom were overwhelmed by the amount of love and kindness they recieved after the show aired, but they felt even more stunned when they first heard from Google.
Noticing how he had been using a rubber band, Google reached out to his family and offered to send him a free pair of frames. A few days later, the company called back and said that they had noticed some "wear and tear" on his Glass and wanted to send him a completely new set.
"It's an upgrade too," Yonattan told WWMT. "So it will probably be a lot nicer and easier to use."
Yonattan says he loves the reaction he's gotten from people, and wants his story to show that it's possible to overcome huge challenges. Yonattan's biggest dream is that dance choreographers from the show "So You Think You Can Dance" will hear his story and get in touch.
Regardless, he's going to keep pursuing his passion.
"Inside me there's something saying, 'Keep dancing. Keep dancing. Don't stop. You love it,'" Yonattan says.
Of course, giving away a free pair of Glass is nothing to a billion-dollar company like Google. Supporting specialized use-cases for Glass also makes sense for Google because the product has recently been panned by developers, many of whom have given up on making apps for commercial use because of a lack of customers and device limitations. There's plenty of reasons to be cynical about the future of Glass, but it's hard not to be moved by Yonattan's individual story.
"The goal of the Glass Explorer program is to get it into the hands of all sorts of people, from firemen to musicians, from chefs to parents, to see how they use it," Google told the Michigan news station, "It's still early days, but the potential for wearables and Glass in particular is great and we're always excited to see how different people put the device to use."

Authorities arrested the youngest member of the Opposition in Zimbabwe in the night and putting him through a harrowing experience, while President Mugabe rubbed elbows with world dignitaries at Pope John Paul II's funeral:
The arrest of Nelson Chamisa, the 26-year-old MP for the Harare constituency of Kuwadzana, only became known when he managed to send out text messages on his mobile phone to friends in the domestic media.
The messages suggested police and agents from the Central Intelligence Organisation, CIO, were torturing him.

"I am in trouble," Chamisa wrote in one.

Chamisa was arrested on the afternoon of April 7 after being informed at a police roadblock that he was wanted in connection with a spate of anti-government demonstrations in central Harare on April 4.
Chamisa's lawyer, Alex Muchadehama, said his client handed himself in and was initially detained in a central Harare police station before being transferred and held overnight in police cells at Matapi, in the Mbare township on the outskirts of the city. Muchadehama said the police intended to charge Chamisa with inciting public violence.

An appearance in the courts is likely on April 11.
"They are determined to torture him," said Muchadehama. "I don't see him being taken to court today or even at the weekend… [The] Matapi cells are very filthy and the transfer is a way of humiliating him.
"Why they are detaining him I just don't understand… he surrendered himself and he won't run away."
Chamisa has been Jailed Before
The police cells at Matapi are renowned for being the filthiest in a country where prison conditions generally are grim.

Muchadehama said there were no signs of obvious physical injury when he met Chamisa briefly – but the MP looked dishevelled and disoriented, suggesting that some form or torture or intense interrogation had taken place.
The police are alleging that Chamisa organised young demonstrators who ran through the city centre stoning shop windows. During the alleged demonstration, the MDC youths apparently distributed pamphlets which said "Reject Fraud" and urged people not to accept the results of the parliamentary election.
Reports coming in from around the country suggest Chamisa's arrest is part of a broader wave of post-election violence organised by the government against its political opponents.
Chamisa and 18 other youths were released on bail on Saturday:

A Zimbabwean court has released 18 youths arrested after mass protests in the capital urging Zimbabweans to reject the outcome of elections won by President Robert Mugabe's party, their lawyer said on Saturday.
"The youths were charged with contravening the Public Order and Security Act," lawyer Alec Muchadehama told AFP.
Lawyers representing Member of Parliament-elect for Kuwadzana, Nelson Chamisa, have claimed that their client was tortured while in police custody.

Hi! I'm back! yay!!! Today I am finishing this week off with one more take on the Altenew A Year in Review Challenge, by playing along with August 2016 Challenge...
I was so happy with the way this turned out ( ok minus the one crooked "you" up there in the sentiments, but after having everything else sitting perfectly on this card I couldn't bare to scrap it! Besides, I know someone will still love getting this in the mail! ). To create this card I started by stamping and embossing the Beautiful Day floral images onto vellum. I then colored on the back sides with various markers and trimmed them out. I then layered them onto some grey cardstock and added some more floral images around it with a tone on tone look. I then added the strip of silver washi tape along the top of the panel before stamping my sentiment. To complete the look I added some clear sequins topped with one clear bead each.
I am entering this into the Simon Says Stamp: Anything Goes Challenge
And like I said, I love this card flaws and all!
Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy New Year!

Oh my goodness Lisa its GORGEOUS! (I know what you mean about the one "flaw". I am the same way but I would just use a matching pink marker and make a hand-drawn line under it and no one would know that you didn't do it on purpose!) Love it and would LOVE to see a video of the process! Great job!
