Conversations with Mormon Historians: A Unique Book
By Alexander L. Baugh Professor of Church history and Doctrine, BYU It's obvious that historians write about history—the events that shaped it and the people who made it—but they rarely write about themselves. However, I discovered that historians are much more open when it comes to talking about themselves and their approach to history. So

Humans, Do Not Breed......
They Pro-Create!
Animals Breed!
Humans, are connected by the essence..
The breath that the God, I AM, used to bring us to life!
We emulate our Creator, birthing from love and passion, new re-generations of ourselves.
To equate the Gift of pro-creation with breeding, and to believe the words are interrelated or more still interchangeable is a mistake,worse still, an affront to our Creator and ourselves!
Be Prayerful! Be Mindful! Be Careful!

Kroger made a boo-boo on social media. Kroger posted a tweet with a photo. And, this photo quickly got some attention! Why a big company like Kroger couldn't just pay the small fee and purchase this stock photo is beyond me. I mean, I guess it's very possible that they went over their stock photo budget this month….?
Can you see the error?
See that front hamster? …with the Shutterstock watermark across it? NOT GOOD.
Let's say that somehow, Kroger didn't have the budget to buy this simple stock photo.
Guess what? While there are plenty of stock photo websites you can buy from, there are also TONS of free stock photo websites out there!
Here are a few to get you started:
- Stock Xchng
Flickr (double check usage restrictions!)
Getty Images (Need a good photo for your blog or social media channels? Getty Images just released 40 MILLION stock photos specifically for that purpose! Read more details on the specifics of embedding in this article.)
Unsplash (easily one of the most popular free photo sites)
Freely Photos (great for religious or holiday photos)
FoodiesFeed (in case you want some beautiful photos of food)
I couldn't do a "free photos" post without including my favorite: Death to Stock Photo! This a great subscription to have in your inbox each month – photos for commercial use, blogs, social media and mockups. These are INCREDIBLE high-quality, creative photos that you won't be able to find anywhere else. I hate to categorize them with the list above – but hey, sometimes you need a picture of hamsters weight-lifting and DSP might not have that in their monthly pack 🙂

It is more than a mere dish. To this gourmet tourist, it is the axis that holds good while everything else is in a swirl
Michael Snyder
08 Apr, 2012
It is more than a mere dish. To this gourmet tourist, it is the axis that holds good while everything else is in a swirl The lanes OF the Nizamuddin basti unspool around the dargah of Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya, dotted with stalls selling roses and copies of the Quran, travel agents advertising journeys to Mecca, and many, many butchers. Beef hangs red and white from their doorjambs, and dogs gnaw at discarded marrowbones. It is a declaration of difference from the wealthy, Hindu neighbourhoods adjacent, the Biblical lamb's blood on the lintel.
For several months in 2009, I came here almost daily, guided by my friend Kamaal Hassan, a lifelong basti resident. On Thursday nights, Kamaal would take me to the dargah to hear the devotional songs of qawwals, sung in this place for the last 700 years, and to Sufi meeting houses in dim rooms down anonymous alleys.
One night, he took me to try nihari.
The temperature had climbed quickly, heading fast toward the 440 intensity of Delhi spring. Heat and human bodies seemed consubstantial. People had become dense clots of humid shadow, bleeding at their edges into the lurid, yellow and green light cast by storefronts and stalls, and diffracted like halos by dust suspended in the turbid air.
Just where the basti's easternmost lane begins to merge with the broader roads of the upmarket Nizamuddin West colo
ny to the south, a crowd—distinct from the Thursday night rush at the dargah itself—had gathered around an unmarked threshold. Here, an old man tended a giant handi and sizzling tawa, turning fresh rotis with Sisyphean determination onto an always-diminishing pile.
Kamaal and I took the last open table—at the back, and far from the comparatively cool outdoors. The only ventilation came from a wall-mounted fan, buzzing incompetently in the corner, and probably circulating more dust than air. Soon, a metal dish of nihari clattered onto the tabletop, an unattractive brown sludge studded with marrow beneath a translucent layer of red grease that seemed, in my already overheated state, more like a warning than an enticement.
Kamaal's soft face twitched into a grin. "Nihari," he indicated the dish. He raised his eyebrows and nodded: "Makes you strong."
I tore a fold of thick, steaming tandoori roti and folded it between my index and middle fingers. The meat gave way as easily as half-melted ice cream, barely distinguishable from the thick gravy around it. Cumin and chillies and nutmeg and mace and God knows what other spices had become virtually indistinguishable one from another, forged into a single flavour of unparalleled depth and density. When I ran out of roti, I used the sides of my fingers to wipe my plate clean.
On the way out, I saw that the man had left his post and the top had been replaced on the handi. They had already sold out for the night.
Three years later, and 1,400 km south, I sat in the crowded dining room of Noor Mohammadi restaurant on Mohammed Ali Road, Mumbai. The kitchen here churns out 80 kg of nihari each day, and has been a neighbourhood institution since its opening in 1923.
Hidden in the shadow of the JJ flyover, Noor Mohammadi has two notable features apart from its food: a pair of goats tied out front (waiting, a Chor Bazaar merchant told me, for the ritual slaughter of Eid al-Adha), and an original MF Husain. The late artist, the story goes, was so impressed by a meal at Noor Mohammadi that he left an original sketch as a gift for the owner, one master's tribute to another. One art dealer reportedly offered Rs 5 lakh for it, but he was rebuffed. The drawing still hangs in its rightful place over the cash register.
Nihari here is the stuff of legend. Far from its native land, the dish's origins are shrouded, if not in mystery, then at least in some serious doubt. I asked my server, Ali, where the dish originated.
"Delhilucknow," he slurred the two names into one, conjuring a new city out of India's northern plains.
"And what about its history?"
Ali smiled and waggled his finger. "History not available," he said. The most anyone knew in Chor Bazaar was that the dish had originated under the Mughals, the last period of Muslim dominance in Indian history. And while Mughal heritage is both present and tangible in Delhi, in Mumbai—a city of post-Mughal emergence—that heritage is temporally, spatially and culturally distant.
So in the days following Holi, I returned to Nizamuddin, where Mughal archways are built into brick walls, and small Sufi tombs lie half-hidden under beds and chairs, quotidian objects rather than historic landmarks.
It was a Thursday night again, the night of the saint's 'Urs', when we returned to the Nizamuddin locality's last lane. My favourite grubby food hall had closed a year earlier, so Kamaal led me past a steaming handi up the front stairs of Monis Kada Hotel. "This place is famous for its nihari," Kamaal told me as we took our seats, again toward the back. "One night I had to wait half an hour just to sit down."
Owned by Nadeem Qureshi, a former butcher, Monis Kada opened in 1999 and almost immediately eclipsed all of Nizamuddin's other nihari-wallahs. "The four best restaurants in Nizamuddin are all owned by Qureshis," Kamaal told me, including, as it happens, my erstwhile nihari joint next door, owned by Nadeem's uncle.
Like many Muslim families in North India and Pakistan, the Qureshis have their own recipe for the dish, and the preparation served here at Monis Kada was substantially the same as the one served to me by Nadeem's uncle three years earlier—fragrant with garam masala, infused with black and green cardamom, and, like all good Delhi nihari, punishingly spicy.
On our way out, Kamaal and I stopped to speak with the heir apparent to the Qureshi food dynasty, Nadeem's son Sufian, who tended to the steady stream of customers from behind the counter. According to Sufian, the Qureshi recipe requires 32 different spices and cooks for nine hours. Usually, the 40 to 50 kg of nihari disappear within a fraction of that time. At beloved Old City vendors, like the elusive Kallu Nihari in the bylanes of Daryaganj, it sells even faster.
Like the Old City itself, nihari, Kamaal and Sufian agreed, originated some time during the reign of Shah Jahan.
In those days, the meat would cook through the night and be served early for breakfast. The name of the dish, in fact, originates in an Arabic and Urdu word for 'day': nahaar. Originally, Sufian claimed, "It was made for royalty, for Mughal kings."
Eventually, the royal iteration of the dish went the way of the dynasties that spawned it, adopted instead by poor labourers who ate the heavy meal in the early morning to sustain themselves through the hours of work ahead. Today, most people prefer to eat nihari for lunch or dinner rather than breakfast, but at the walled city's most traditional nihari stands, workers still gather at dawn, a tradition unchanged for centuries.
Standing by the steaming Qureshi handi, it is tempting to imagine the present-day Nawabs of Nizamuddin Cuisine as the descendents of those first royal cooks, their special blend of 32 spices identical to those used in the marble halls of Shah Jahan's imperial capital. And here in Nizamuddin, where the past is bricked haphazardly into the present, where memory (fanciful and porous and deeply true) trumps history, time really does collapse like this. In Old Delhi and Chor Bazaar, too, the past and present have stewed together for so long that they are indistinguishable.
In these proud neighbourhoods, kites and pigeons still dot the sky, family recipes are maintained across centuries, and old structures, both physical and social, survive despite the giddy growth of the cities that surround them. In guarding these living traditions, these neighbourhoods also guard their extraordinary power not merely to connect the present and past, but to make them seem simultaneous. History, as Ali said, is 'not available'—because it is here, right now, set in front of you on a silver plate.
It strikes me as fitting that one of the most popular variations on nihari is made with the nalli, bone marrow, our innermost part. Neighbourhoods like Old Delhi, Chor Bazaar and Nizamuddin are the marrow of their cities, no more 'real' than the sparkling residential enclaves around them, but closer to the fading past. And traditions like nihari, nurtured through generations, are nothing less than the marrow of these neighbourhoods.
When devotees enter the Nizamuddin Dargah, they often describe their feelings in terms of connection. They refer to the saint as a 'qutb', or axis, connecting them to the divine. My first experience eating nihari was of a kind. Rather than connecting me to divinity, that dish became my qutb for a place otherwise changing at a confounding rate.
Change, after all, is what cities and people work for. Poor labourers that we are, we need tradition to sustain us.

Identity of woman killed in Sunday crash released
Martha Alicia Vazquez-Meza, 38, of Chowchilla, died Sunday morning when the 1993 Chevrolet Blazer she was riding in blew a tire, went out of control and overturned on Road 16 south of Avenue 17 in the Madera area, California Highway Patrol officers said.
Officer Ronnie Lopez, CHP public affairs officer for the Madera office, said an 11-year-old Chowchilla boy also died in the 9:30 a.m. accident. Lopez declined to identify the boy because he is a minor. They were both pronounced dead at the scene of the accident.
Vazquez-Meza and the boy were passengers in the Blazer driven by Javier L. Vasquez, 40, of Chowchilla. Vazquez was listed in critical condition Monday afternoon at Community Regional Medical Center in Fresno, a hospital spokeswoman said.
Javier M. Vazquez, 7, of Chowchilla, also a passenger in the vehicle, was listed in fair condition Monday at the Fresno hospital. Jesus Vazquez, 60, of Chowchilla, received minor injuries in the accident.

Word came down recently that André 3000 of Outkast will be playing the highly influential Jimi Hendrix in a biopic called All Is By My Side, which centers on the iconic guitarist's early years. With inspired and estimable casting like this, it made us think about the other memorable biopics that have been made in recent years focusing on everyone from the Doors and Ray Charles to Tina Turner and Ian Curtis. Keep reading for a rundown of the ten best music biopics.
Also see: Johnny Cash: The five most memorable portrayals of the man in black
10. Great Balls of Fire! Like Wyatt Earp and Dragonheart, Great Balls of Fire! is one of the few movies where Dennis Quaid didn't play a boring character you forgot about before you even walked out of the theater. As realistic as a PG-13 movie can get, this movie doesn't show the darker and unpleasant side of Jerry Lee Lewis's Lolita-like love story, but it recreates legendary events like burning a piano at a fun full-tilt speed -- similar to his music.
9. Notorious Unfortunately there is a severe shortage of hip-hop biopics in the music world (hint, hint moviemakers), but of the few, Notorious stands out, highlighting the life of Biggie Smalls (aka Christopher Wallace). The movie illustrates more of Biggie's struggle in every day life than the musical icon he became, giving the story a more human quality. With a virtually unknown cast, Notorious also notably reflects the people in Biggie's life with actors who give them an uncanny representation.
8. I'm Not There As far-out and experimental as Dylan himself, I'm Not There is a film about his life played by six actors, including Cate Blanchett. This movie isn't for the average movie watcher looking for a linear account of a musician. Instead, it is a jumble of scenes about the affect Dylan had on people he crossed paths with.
7. Walk the Line Before Joaquin Phoenix went off his rocker in I'm Still Here, he played the Johnny Cash like a man enraptured in a burning ring of fire in Walk the Line. This movie could have easily been called The Man in Black due to a large lump of the story taking place after a brief pluck of his childhood on a cotton farm. The large amount of detail and storytelling put into this film makes it memorable and enjoyable -- even for the uninitiated who have never listened to Cash's music.

6. What's Love Got to Do With It After walking away from this movie, you should be inspired to take on the world with as much fire as Tina Turner and as much blitzkrieg as road warriors in a Thunderdome. This movie takes you up from the shitty childhood of Turner to the peaks of a successful music career, and then back down to an abusive relationship that then left her free but penniless after twenty years. But she ultimately rises from the ashes with the comeback song "What's Love Got to Do With It."
5. 24 Hour Party People British comedian Steve Coogan was unknown in the U.S. when 24 Hour Party People was released in 2002. The film focuses on two decades of the Manchester music scene, starting with the birth of punk, and wraps it comically and tightly together in under two hours with a story that revolves around the evolving scene and Factory Records. (Nerd alert: Andy Serkis is also in this movie, but not as a J.R.R. Tolkien character.)
4. The Doors It's hard to believe that Iceman (aka Val Kilmer), who looked like a direct descendant of Jim Morrison with long brown hair (not short douchey blond hair), would be up to playing the pretentious stage rat, but in hindsight, who else could have pulled it off? This, along with other great casting and the unique directing style of Oliver Stone, lit the fire of the music of the Doors in the wonderfully strange days of the late '60s and early '70s.
3. Control Control centers around the short-lived life and times of Joy Division frontman Ian Curits, putting the eyes of the viewer at the doorstep of his drugged-down, depressing rollercoaster, in-between episodes of epilepsy-hindered shows. Even though Control was far from being the feel good movie of the year, Sam Riley was able to enter the character of Curtis like he was transmitting his dead soul from beyond the grave.
2. Sid & Nancy Even the brief appearance of Courtney Love in Sid & Nancy couldn't shoot down the raunchy, realistic love tangle of Sid Vicious, played by Gary Oldman, and the wild-child by his side, Nancy, portrayed by Chloe Webb. No shit, this movie is inevitably tragic, but it's also as rebellious, drug induced and chaotic as a Sex Pistols show.
1. Ray In his prime as a comedian, Jamie Foxx had a full repertoire of impeccable impersonations, including Ray Charles, whom he went on to play many years later with dramatic flair in Ray. Born to play this role, Foxx turned in a performance that essentially launched his acting career. Like a Daniel Day-Lewis film, Ray is one of those movies where it's hard to pay attention to anything else other than Jamie Foxx who transcends everything in the film.

Off White Cara & Blue Phoebe Trousers
It is hard to see in these photos, but the Cara slip has two front and two back pieces so the slip is bisected horizontally between the waist and hip.
(this is the closest that I could get to a line drawing - this is taken from the instructions)
There are four points (two front and two back) and a pocket that is in the front horizontal seam. I chose to have in-seam pockets in the side-seams and edged the neck, arm and hems with 1.5" raw edged bias binding folded in half.
I found the neckline to be a bit higher than the Jaqueline and the shoulders to be wider, giving more coverage. I liked that! This top is pretty wide as it flares out from the underarm. I think for future versions I may tame this a little.
It does, of course, work really well as a layer and can be seen above with my blue Phoebe trousers (another of the five items made this weekend) and my altered Phoebe jacket (which I have just noticed that I haven't posted about as yet) . . . . not to mention a TG inspired necklace made out of Lapis Lazuli chips.
Finally with this top, the finishing touch was to add a label out of some printed linen, with my label on top. This is the inside view, and I love it!
White Cara
With this version I chose to add some of the details from the Cara trousers - a pleated triangle insert and triangular patch pockets.
Another label - call me narcissistic, I don't mind!! The printed fabric is from some Ikea pillowcases. We buy the 'on sale' bedding and use it to cover the duvets that form the bedding for our greyhounds. The pillows don't get used, so they were perfect for the labels!
You can just about make out the triangle on front - there is a better pic with the blue top! Another great, basic slip that will work with lots of trousers and jackets.
Blue Cara
You can see the volume with this version - as much as I love it, I don't think that it looks so good without a jacket. In seam pockets again, I prefer them to the triangle ones on the white version.
And I ran out of binding. I thought about hunting around for some leftover blue fabric, finding the diagonal and cutting a strip . . . . and then I saw some pattern binding already cut . . . . so I used that! I don't think that it looks too shabby! You can see how I attach the binding - a three stitch zigzag. It has held up pretty well on other garments - so far!
Here is the back view and the patch that is on the right side of the fabric, with my label being on the wrong side.
Looks pretty good with a jacket (I am trying to get away from the scrubs look - not sure if I am succeeding!)
Here you can see the attached triangle. There is one centre front and one centre back. A little funky!
Blue Sorbetto
Nothing much to say about the blue Sorbetto. It is blue. And makes a nice alternative to longer slips.
I have quite a few so I mix them in with my Phoebe trousers and jackets!
Finally, I wanted to show the new necklace that I made using some cultured pearls and a key . . . .!
Phew, lot of photos - hope I didn't loose you part way through! Although we are in the middle of a gloriously hot summer, I think I may have to turn my thoughts to Autumn, How about you - are you still sewing Summer?

More than 15.5 million people visited the District last year, providing an important boost to the local economy. The number is a five-percent increase over the 2009 tourism numbers, according to a report in the Washington Business Journal.
While the crowds on the National Mall and the long lines at Metro stations can sometimes irk long-time Washingtonians, there's no denying the importance of tourism for city coffers.
More than half of the sales tax generated by the city comes out of the wallets of tourists. Data released by the D.C. government Tuesday shows that visitor spending increased more than 8 percent last year to $5.7 billion.
That will mean about $623 million in additional tax dollars for D.C., notes the WBJ article.
"I had that $5.7 billion statistic in mind every time I went to the [U.S. House] Rules Committee or the House floor to prevent a shutdown of the government," said D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton at a press conference.
In terms of jobs, statistics from last year show the travel and tourism industry supports more than 70,000 jobs, second only to the federal government.

The End of the World!
Today we are going to talk about the end-times. Does that sound strange to you? Does talking about the end of the world make you feel uncomfortable? Are you afraid that we might be some kind of a cult?
The truth is that we all believe in the end of the world. Think in terms of movies and television shows. One of the most popular genres is that of the post-apocalyptic world. But it goes beyond entertainment.
Long before I knew what the Bible said about the end, I feared the end of the world. Growing up during the cold war, I feared a nuclear war between the United States and the Soviet Union. Although that fear has subsided, there still are fears. Perhaps the end will be due to a plague developed by those working in the area of bio-chemical warfare. Perhaps the end will because of poor use of our resources and not enough control over pollution. Perhaps our planet will be hit by a meteor or a comet, as such things fly through our solar system on a regular basis.
No scientist would ever suggest that life as we know it will go on forever. Even if we could stop the aging process and cure every disease, eventually our sun will explode. The end will come one way or another.
Are you depressed yet?
I share all this to say that talking about the end of the world is not strange. It will happen. And into this conversation, the Bible has much to say. This may be a difficult topic, because like the creation-evolution debate, many people have strong opinions. Some of the things that we believe are true have very little biblical evidence.
Danger of Focusing on the End
One of the reasons that people are uncomfortable talking about the end is that such ideas have been abused. Some people, usually religious of some kind, have misled people, either because they themselves were confused or they purposely try to deceive people. This latter purpose has been the strategy of some televangelists, but I think they are a minority.
Growing up in church, the end-times were never spoken of. I had no idea that there was anything in the Bible about Jesus returning. If I thought about it at all, I thought they were the beliefs of some fringe group.
After a period of my life as an atheist, I ended up believing in God but had not embraced any particular religion. I was working for some born again Christians who had a vibrant and detailed idea of what the end would be like. They believe that Jesus was returning, perhaps in a matter of days, if not hours, and that I needed to become a Christian right away. There was something called a rapture coming and if I missed that, my only chance would be to become a Christian and be executed by the antichrist. But no pressure.
One of the dangers of focusing on the end-times is the temptation to try and predict dates and other details. There are many people today who read the news and believe it is obvious that the end was near. I have done some research and have discovered that almost every generation has had the same confidence.
Just since the beginning of this millennium, we have had many predictions of the end. Authors have sold books on the topic, people have given up their jobs, lives have been turned upside down. Each time the day and hour passes and the prediction is proved false. The damage done is that it makes people believe that the end will never come and in some cases, that the Christian faith is just as fake.
One of the dangers that I see is the compilation of detailed descriptions of the end-times. These include timelines, spelling out when each event will take place and how long it will take. Although they will list Bible passages, the actual description of the events is never found like that in the Bible.
What the Bible Teaches
I think that the best thing to do is focus on the big picture of what the Bible clearly teaches. You can pick and choose from obscure verses to make whatever you want. However, there are certain themes that appear over and over. we need to stick with them.
First, we need to be clear that Jesus will return. This is not some isolated verse hidden some where. It is found numerous times throughout the Gospels and Paul's letters, as well as Revelation. Jesus repeatedly spoke of his return. When will this happen? Some of his followers asked Jesus that very question and he told them that he did not know. Even the angels don't know. Only God the Father knows.
The return of Jesus is what Paul is describing in 1 Thessalonians. Paul also describes something else happening at the same time. When Jesus returns, his followers will be resurrected. This includes those that are dead and those that are living at the time. The living will be transformed to receive upgraded bodies built for eternity.
This passage in 1 Thessalonians is where people get the idea of the rapture. I don't like the image of the rapture. The way people use the rapture is that the world is going to hell and Jesus makes an appearance to rescue his people from this evil world.
The resurrection has another meaning. What will happen is that we will meet Jesus, be transformed and return with him, having been made the way were always meant to be. The imagery Paul uses is of the return of a beloved king. The city sends out people to greet him and together they return to the city for him to once again take up his throne.
Many Christians believe that the afterlife is about being freed from physical bodies and becoming spirits floating in heaven. That is only partial truth. Yes, our spirits go to heaven at death. But that is a waiting room until the resurrection. Our ultimate goal is to receive resurrection bodies and to live on earth. The Bible even speaks of the planet being remade, even resurrected. Revelation tells us that God will descend out of heaven and dwell on earth with his people. That is the big picture and I think we are better off with these clear teachings than we are with speculation.
What This Means
Some people are interested in talking about the end-times just for its own sake. Theology is interesting and is worth discussing. But what does this mean for everyone else?
One of the consistent themes is that of being ready. Since we do not know when Jesus is returning, we should life with a ready and faithful attitude. We can't just live the way we want. I'm not suggesting we live in fear. But we should ask if Jesus would be pleased finding us doing what we are doing when he returns.
This is the flip side of that idea. We need to plan for the long term. Live as if Jesus is coming back today and plan as if he is not coming back for another century. We need to plan for our families, including retirement. But even more important we need to plan for effective ministry for the long term. The people who built this church could have chosen not to because Jesus could have returned in their life time. But because they did build this building, we have the resources for effective ministry.
The final aspect of this is that the return of Jesus gives us hope. There is so much evil, hate and violence in our world. Our increased technology has not made our world more peaceful, it is has just made it more efficient to humiliate and harm one another. It can be depressing.
The return of Jesus is a promise. It is a promise that God will not leave things the way they are. Jesus will come back and reveal to the world who we are, through the resurrection. He will also deal with the evil in the world. This is what we call Judgment Day. We have the benefit of being able to flip to the last page and find out how the story ends. This gives us hope.
There is so much that I don't know. I don't know when Jesus is returning. I don't know who or what the antichrist is. I don't know what it will look like when Jesus returns. I don't know what the resurrection will look like for those whose bodies have turned to dust.
But there is some that I do know. Jesus Christ will return. I know that his return will accompanied by the resurrection. Whether we are alive or dead at the time, we will be raised. Our bodies will be transformed and we will live forever. Finally, I know there is a reason to hope. Jesus won the victory on the cross and the empty tomb and that victory will be ours when he returns.

Earlier this year I was selected along with 16 other artisans by a nearby community for an Art Challenge. We were all given guitars to create on and with.
I am a ginormous Beatles fan. Always have been. My favoritest all time Bealtes song is "Here Comes the Sun". If you're familar with the song you will know that the introduction to the song is a guitar solo. The music score along the side of the guitar is that music.
The facemask was formed in my kiln. It was a single layer of cathedral glass draped over a ceramic mold. I also fused the moon in the kiln using two layers of the same glass. The round dots for the music notes were a single layer of black glass fired in the kiln to create cabachons.
I used "Mac" glue to adhere the various types of glass to the guitar. Mac glue was recommended to me ages ago by HSG here on Craftster. If you're thinking about doing a mosaic, I would also highly recommend the use of that glue. It's the BEST. Hands down.
As any glass artisan knows...photographing glass is a real pain in the a...! So what you won't see on my photographs is the fact that behind the face mask is a mirror. So you if you look face on to the mask you'll see yourself. Kind of creepy cool and totally unexpected.
The blue background glass starts out at the bottom a very light blue and as it progresses up the guitar it becomes more cobalt to a dark midnight blue at the top.
So. There ya go. I don't even want to think about how many hours I have into this thing. It was a lot. A LOT! But I'm very proud of how it turned out. I hope you like it too!
Thanks for looking!

Verity La was established in 2010 as a writer-run initiative. We publish some of the best writers in the country, alongside many new and exciting voices. All those involved volunteer their time because they're committed to Verity La's core mission: maximising a diversity of literary voices in Australia and helping readers connect with brave new writers.
We're proud to still be going strong and thrilled about the quality of work we publish. However, a core issue for us is lack of payment for our writers. Exposure is important, but so is adequate financial payment — if we want literature to flourish, writers need to receive an income from their labour.
So, we're looking for supporters. Not subscribers (all of our content will remain free online) — but supporters.
We publish up to 100 poems, stories, reviews and artworks each year. We're aiming to pay $50 for each contribution, which means we need to raise $5000 annually. (The editorial team will continue to operate on a voluntary basis, but if there is money remaining after paying our writers, we will be buying each of our hard-working editors a bottle of something delicious for Christmas.) We aim to start paying contributors at the start of publication in 2017.
Our supporters' names, unless they wish to remain anonymous, will be published on our website (http://verityla.com/). Our campaign and supporters' names will also be publicised on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/Verity-La-372468352804373/) and on Twitter @VerityLa.
We hope that by supporting Verity La you will feel closer to the journal and its creative community. We believe that by helping us you will be making a significant contribution to the strength and diversity of Australian literature.

Please note that the meal was complimentary. However, the opinions expressed in my blog are 100% my own!
I recently got invited to El Anzuelo Fino (The Fresh Fishhook) in Woodhaven, Queens. This place opened in 1998, after the owners, Maria and Amilcar Torres, who opened a restaurant with the same name in Lima, Peru in 1982, decided to relocate to the US. It is a small place, with definitely a neighborhood feel. A family business for sure: Amilcar was inspired by his mother to become a Chef and Boris, his son, followed the same path after falling in love with this industry at the age of 12, while working with his parents. Later on, after being trained by Peruvian Chefs, Boris attended the French Culinary Institute and worked in NYC restaurants including Red Rooster, Boulud Sud, Nuela, La Mar, and Raymi before taking over the management of El Anzuelo Fino.
The decor there is really simple, if it is not for the stone wall with fishes in the bottom, swimming freely, probably knowing that they would not be served as ceviche. Because I learnt from my friend Chef Vanessa Greeley, who is from Peru, that ceviche is definitely, with lomo salteado, a specialty of the country.
For our first immersion into Peruvian cuisine, our host was Maria Torres herself. She explained to us the story behind the restaurant, as well as the passion her family has for this business.
Before I talk about the food that was presented to us, let's talk about the beverages. First is wine: they do not have a wide selection there, but if you are curious about Peruvian wines, you should be satisfied.
They also have cocktails, like the Pisco Sour that Maria prepared for me.
It was made with Pisco and just 2 drops of Angostura for the sour taste.
This is definitely not something you would drink like milk...
If you prefer non-alcoholic beverages, they have shakes, as well as the chicha:
Chicha is a drink made with purple corn that is boiled for 2 hours and then prepared with fruit like apple and pineapple.
It is quite sweet and thick, with a taste that I cannot really compare to anything. It was our first encounter with purple corn, that I never tried before and that we would retrieve in our dessert.
With our drinks came cancha, that is dried corn that is fried.
Then, we started our discovery of Peru. The first dish was a ceviche made with pollock fish (ceviche de corvina).
It was served with sweet potatoes, French corn and onions.
I liked it: it was fresh and refreshing with a nice lemon hint.
The second dish was the veal hearts or anticuchos con papa cocida y choclo:
I love veal heart, so I was glad they served us this dish where the meat was accompanied with French corn and some potato. I admit that I mainly focused on the meat that was perfectly cooked and had a nice char from the grill.
Next was the pulpo al olivo or grilled octopus topped with a creamy black olive sauce.
This was just an ok dish for me as there was unfortunately too much sauce and I ended up removing it from the octopus that was very good and tender.
Then came the lomo salteado, a dish prepared with some top sirloin that is diced and cooked with onions, tomatoes and French fries. I liked it: original in a way with the fries mixed in, the meat and sauce were tasty.
The last dish was the corvina a la macho.
It is a fish filet (it depends on arrival, this time we got flounder) that is cooked in a secret sauce and covered with some seafood (octopus, calamari and shrimp). If you like seafood, it is a nice dish: all the elements were perfectly cooked, the calamari and octopus were not tough, and the sauce, that cooked for 3 hours, was delicious.
We then finished with dessert and got the mazamorra morada or purple corn pudding:
Just the rice pudding part was delicious and creamy, but with the purple corn pudding, it was fantastic! The left part of the pudding was prepared, besides with corn, with pineapple, vanilla, lemon and anise. It is definitely a good alternative to a simple, but delicious, rice pudding.
The lunch at El Anzuelo Fino was quite good and a nice discovery of Peruvian food, with dishes that were interesting to try. Know that they have a sister restaurant in Jackson Heights, opened in 2008.
Enjoy (I did)!

Caravan in London
January 1, 2015 by Ally
As illustrated in our Bitches City Guide to East London, I recently ate and imbibed myself through London and loved every minute of it. My boyfriend Andrew and I headed across the pond to visit our friend Mark who lives in the quaint Islington neighborhood, known for a large concentration of expats and young families.
Exmouth Market, an open-air strip of darling restaurants and boutiques, is a few blocks from his flat and is his go-to spot for a quality bite and pints at the local. Naturally, we headed here for a great brunch before a fun-filled day exploring the Colombia Road flower market, London Fields brewery, and walking through Shoreditch.
We brunched at Caravan, a low-key, Australian-owned coffee roastery and café. The basement is coverted into a working coffee roastery and the establishment prides itself on daily small batch, single origin roasts. I was immediately attracted to the open windows, great typography, and trendy flat white sipping crowd.
We had about thirty minutes to kill with the requisite weekend wait so we hunkered up at the bar to try some of the acclaimed beverages. We all ordered coffee, which was served with a slow drip and filter. It took awhile to brew, but the somewhat complex process was worth the wait.
We were admittedly a little banged up from a long night out in Dalston and required as many beverages as possible to get back on our feet. Mark and I each had a fresh pressed carrot and ginger juice, which was refreshing with a faint zip of ginger.
The boys also went the Bloody route and requested their cocktails to be served extra spicy. Similarly to the juice, the Bloody mix was clearly homemade and tasty. They appreciated that the bartender was heavy on the pepper and strong on the vodka pour. I ordered a bellini with fresh pear puree and bubbles. The pear puree added a touch of sweetness, but it wasn't over the top.
The brunch menu is inspired by travels all over the work and incorporates seasonal ingredients with global flavors. There were plenty of menu items that we were familiar with such as avocado toast and French toast, but we had to slyly Google unfamiliar terms like "streaky bacon" and "black pudding."
Andrew came to brunch with an appetite and an urge to try local favorites so he selected the Caravan fry, which consisted of eggs any style, streaky bacon, slow roasted tomatoes, and thyme roasted portobello mushrooms. A fry is basically a full English breakfast with the works and this entree spared no expenses. The crisp bread, juicy bacon, and perfectly poached eggs were the highlights of this main course.
I have a weird propensity towards ordering fishy food during brunch so it was to no one's surprise when I selected the house cured salmon and scrambled eggs on grain toast. This dish was simple yet well executed with quality, local ingredients and outstanding fish. The salmon added some much needed protein that kept me full well into the afternoon.
Mark was intrigued by Caravan's unique take on French toast. Its version is created with cornbread as a base and piled high with bacon, rocket or arugula as we call it stateside, and avocado. I stole some bites and deemed this my favorite entree. The savory French toast was both salty and sweet with a rich creaminess from the avocado. Plus, everything is better with avocado.
I appreciated that the main dishes spoke for themselves and didn't require sides or excessive garnishes, as we're accustomed to in America. We departed with full stomachs and plenty of energy to fuel our day, but we weren't weighed down by gluttonous portion sizes. Brunch at Caravan was the perfect way to get a feel for Mark's Islington borough and a great start to our weekend in London.
The Bitches say: A. A trendy vibe and solid food, although a tad pretentious about the coffee. This is a great low key option in the neighborhood to feel like a local.

Hello my faithful readers of 5. It's blog time. (a.k.a. I'm sick and bored out of my tree, and possibly picking for a fight...one that I will have no energy to actually fight back, thus rendering this post useless. But I digress.)
This has been an interesting election to say the least. The Alberta PC Party has been the
Then some weird things started to happen.
- Cowboys and rig pigs started getting pissed off at their PC party for moving to the center, so every single slight from royalty taxes to land rights started to become a bone of contention. In response, they voted Allison Redford, who kinda looks like she belongs to the Liberal Party (through a screwy system in which the 3rd place candidate became the leader.)
- Middle class white collar liberals started fracturing because of lack of leadership, vision, and fatigue at constantly sailing on the Titanic. So some left and formed The Alberta Party, which is what you get when you merge a Liberal and a Conservative...I think? So how did the Liberals respond? They elected to their leadership someone who used to be a PC Conservative party member, who quite frankly is a odd-ball who has great one liners, but shaky policy promises.
- The NDP carried on as always, appealing to the hippies, students, and eco-warriors, continuing to be led by a blue-collar worker (who doesn't have the support of actual blue-collar workers) who has led the party down in seats after every election.
- Remember those pissed-off cowboys and rig pigs? Well they got attracted to a shiny new party, the Wildrose Alliance Party of Alberta. They elect someone who is a self-professed Libertarian to lead the socially conservative group, one that make's the PC's look like New Democrats. In the process, they nominated a pastor who hates gays, a man who thinks he's pretty fly for a white guy, and a member who likes to rub elbows with the KKK.
You have a party that has ruled, unchallenged, for so long that they have ignored and pissed-off their base, and sometimes reek of corruption. You have a shiny new party with good fiscal policies, but scary-as-shit candidates running on scary-as-shit social issues. You have a party that has been destroyed by a scary-as-shit conservative pretending to be a liberal. You have a party that has no hope in hell of winning in this province because of good social policy but crazy-bad fiscal policy. And you have another shiny new party made up of mostly former liberals pretending to be Red Tory's.
What this election has come down to is change.What kind of change do we want?
I will say a few personal thoughts:
- Change for the sake of change isn't a great reason to change. I don't think the PC government had operated as badly as some claim, but I don't think they've governed as well as they should have. If they do get elected back into power, let's hope they remember how close they came to losing it all, and get back to being a government, not a monarchy. *Note: I like monarchy's, but only the royal kind...not the political kind*
- On that same note, as scary as some of the candidates are, I don't think the WRA is as bad as some make them out to be. They do have some good policies. Every time Danielle Smith speaks, I am scared less and less, and more sure that nut-jobs will be tempered. For that matter, as scary as some of the new parties candidates are, we are also the same province that let a government sit in power for 41 years with members who thought the same thing (Ted Morton, Doug Elniski, Tony Abbott etc...). So why the outrage now? If Alberta was ok with nutters for 41 years without speaking out, I suspect they will be ok with nutters for 41 more years....
- Don't discount the other parties. They have good policies, and who ever wins the election amongst the two leading conservatives party, it would behoove that leader to sit down with these other parties and cherry-pick the best they have to offer. It makes sense.
Despite the craziness, I think everyone should vote. But instead of voting strategically, vote for who you truly believe in, and let the election be a true reflection of Alberta's views. It may surprise people in ways they didn't suspect and lead to a better balance of power amongst all parties.
Also, one final note: I know we are tempted in social media to use it like a bully field, tweeting punches left and right. I know we can get upset about issues, people, viewpoints. But remember that we are all human. No one person is one-dimensional. Allan Hunsperger is also a caring family man, father, husband, grandfather who does mission work in third world countries, and served his community in good faith for many years, and maybe in the fullness of time will come to see the error of his thinking by meeting people of the LGBQT community.
People vote for parties for many different reasons. A vote for the PC's does not necessarily mean a vote for pay nothing committees. A vote for the WRA does not necessarily mean a vote for bigotry. A vote for the NDP does not necessarily mean a vote for stricter environment regulations.
We all have our views. We all have our issues that are important to us. And we vote accordingly. If the vote doesn't turn out your way, people aren't stupid. They are informed on the issues important to them, which don't necessarily mean the issues important to you.

"The High and The Mighty"
Aren't they beautiful.....that Tamara Mellon is creating "hit" after "hit!" The lucite heel and Rhinestone ankle cuff are certainly stunning accents. Better still, is the neutral color which allows for wear with a variety of looks. The Christian Dior is another standout neutral. Fringe, stitching and the onyx colored stones are a perfect mix, making them funky and fabulous! It's apparent that Versace enjoyed a great deal of success with their patterned and print shoes from last season. I like the idea of a bold shoe, not only to wear with solids, but to mix with a patterned or print dress or top.

Now You See Me - May 31, 2013
After killing zombies, knocking up Ellen Page and creating Facebook, Jesse Eisenberg is at it again, this time as a master magician. The biggest trick he is pulling off here is keeping Woody Harrelson's career alive. Let's not get distracted though.
Jesse stars as Michael Atlas (from Cloud Atlas fame) along with Isla Fischer, Woody Harrelson and James Franco's little brother, making up a super cool group of bank robbers. They are not all bad, when they rob the banks they give the money to the audiences for their live shows. Someone who should take note is Nicholas Cage. You should be paying us to sit through your crap movies Nic. "Do you want some of my jellys?" Stupid. GhostRider would never say that. Now back to this movie. Super Fantastic!! They are a bunch of modern day Robin Hoods.
Things start to go wrong when Mark Ruffalo is put on the case. As the pressure increases it will test the boundaries of the groups loyalty, friendship and blah blah blah we've seen it all before.
The only way this movie is actually going be any good is if somehow all the pieces come together in an Ocean's 11 type manner and the bad guys get off scott free, leaving Mark Ruffalo confused, frustrated and alone. It has to be clever though, working together in a way that isn't perfectly obvious. If the only people that think your movie plot was slick saw the movie right after their GED night classes, your movie sucks.
The other way this movie could be great is if after Jesse Eisenberg handcuffs Mark Ruffalo, Mark turns into the Hulk and beats the hell out of him.
I give this movie a 50% chance of being good.
Wait, whats that? Jesse Eisenberg wasn't in Juno? I'll have to look into that.

Tropical Storm Hermine likely to make Gulf Coast landfall Thursday
Say hello to Hermine. After days of threatening to intensify, a tropical depression in the Gulf of Mexico blossomed into a tropical storm Wednesday afternoon.
With sustained winds reaching 45 mph and moving about 7 mph Wednesday evening, National Hurricane Center forecasters said the storm will likely near northwest Florida Thursday. Tropical storm force winds could reach the coast by afternoon. The wet messy storm could also push dangerous storm surges inland if it arrives at high tide.
Hermine, which faced little resistance from wind shear and slowed to a standstill earlier in the day over warm waters, could still strengthen to a hurricane by the time it makes landfall. But National Hurricane Center forecasters warn that where it arrives is not as worrisome as wider impacts.
"We try to warn people that with these weaker systems, don't focus on the track because hazards can extend many miles from where the center makes landfall," said senior hurricane specialist Stacy Stewart.
Forecasters expanded surge warnings Wednesday evening, with water in parts of the Panhandle at risk of reaching up to five feet. Areas near Tarpon Springs could see water rise up to four feet and Tampa Bay could see up to two feet of surge.
At 5 p.m., the storm was still located about 325 miles south, southwest of Apalachicola. A tropical storm warning and hurricane watch stretched from just north of Tampa to the Panhandle.
Tropical storm force winds extend about 105 miles from Hermine's center, largely on the south side of the storm.
Central Florida could get five to ten inches predicted for by Friday with isolated areas receiving up to 15 inches. Forecasters also warned that Hermine could whip up tornadoes in Central Florida late Wednesday night and in north Florida and southeast Georgia on Thursday.
In Miami, National Weather Service meteorologists maintained a flood watch for South Florida. Scattered thunderstorms are expected this afternoon as the storm continues stirring up moist tropical air, possibly producing wind gusts of up to 50 mph. Beaches could also get dangerous rip currents.
Water managers across the state are already bracing for more water on the heels of a record wet winter. The South Florida Water Management District announced Tuesday it had begun moving water out of the Kissimmee basin. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is also keeping close watch on Lake Okeechobee, but so far is not moving any more polluted lake water into coastal estuaries still recovering from the winter flushing.
Gov. Rick Scott also issued a state of emergency for 42 counties during a Wednesday morning briefing at Florida's Emergency Operations Center in Tallahassee. Metro areas covered by the declaration include Tallahassee, Tampa Bay, Orlando, Gainesville, Jacksonville and the Space Coast. South Florida is "in the clear," one state official said.
Forecasters had also been keeping an eye on a second pesky depression off the Carolina coast that Wednesday evening they called "challenging." The storm had earlier looked like it might gain strength but now appears to be losing steam and could fizzle over the next few days as it moves off the coast.
If Hermine does crank up to a hurricane before landfall, it would end a decade-long lucky streak for the state. The last hurricane to strike, Wilma, hit in late October 2005. While better formed and much stronger than Hermine, Wilma likewise pushed across the Gulf of Mexico, landing just south of Marco Island before plowing across the state for more than four hours and emerging near Jupiter.

NCAA Tournament
Missouri, a No. 11 seed, to play Cincinnati on Thursday in D.C.
COLUMBIA | On a day filled with equal parts of speculation over the specifics of Missouri's inpending selection to the NCAA Tournament and what effect — if any — Arkansas' ouster of John Pelfrey as its coach might have on MU's Mike Anderson – one thing is now known.
Missouri, 23-10, is going to start its NCAA Tournament run as a No. 11 seed against No. 6 seed Cincinnati, 25-8, in Washington, D.C., on Thursday in the NCAA West Regional. The game will tip about 8:50 p.m. and will be aired on TNT. Should Missouri win that game, the Tigers would play the winner of the UConn-Bucknell game, on Saturday.
Prior to that announcement late Sunday afternoon, Missouri athletic director Mike Alden declined to discuss plans for a contract extension that has allegedly been in the discussion stage for some time for Anderson.
Asked if MU's fans — who each of the last two post-seasons have seen Anderson consider job interest from Georgia and Oregon before staying at Missouri — did not deserve a more definitive answer than that, Alden said:
"I probably would not respond to that," Alden said.
That response came in the face of renewed speculation regarding who Arkansas would seek to replace Pelphrey. One ESPN analyst identified Anderson as the top target on Sunday. Another ESPN analyst said Anderson was not at the top of the Arkansas list.
Anderson recently told The Columbia Daily Tribune: "I plan on being at Missouri for a long time, retire here."
Alden said he would take Anderson at that word.
"Mike's always been straight-forward and forthcoming and committed to everything that we're trying to do at Mizzou. That's who he is as a person."
Anderson is scheduled to address the media shortly in Columbia regards the NCAA Tournament.

Shipyard: Chantiers de l'Atlantique Enlarges Shipyard by 30%
Chantiers de l'Atlantique and the public works company Charier on November 26, 2018 opened the extension of the pre-assembly area which allows a significant increase in the production capacity of the shipyard.
With the work started in July 2017, the yard floor area is now expanded by 17,000sqm, meaning a 30% gain. By lengthening the rail of the 1,400-tonne gantry crane - which is assembling the hull of the large vessels - by 135 m the completed project allows six more mega-blocks to be assembled and outfitted.
"This investment worth €16 million ($18 mln) allows us to move to a simultaneous construction capacity of 22 blocks, compared to 16 previously and thus meet the increase in the current and future industrial load of the yard, " said Laurent Castaing, General Manager of Chantiers de l'Atlantique.

Expect the Unexpected
If you have wondered why there was no activity in the last few weeks on dustlayer.com regardless of the frequent updates done before: I lost my regular job when I returned from the United States early June.
Yes, life is hard sometimes and since it came a bit by surprise I had to quickly focus on exploring options what to do next.
The good news is that a plan has been laid out and I look forward to start a new venture soon. This demands some extra weeks away from C64 coding but don't worry - I will be back as soon as things have gone back to normal working hours.
So that's it - short and crisp.

Earlier this week, Infor posted KB 1948513 on Infor Xtreme. Essentially, Windows 10 Build 1709 (Fall Creators Update) is causing issues for VISUAL versions before VISUAL 9.0.
Infor states that "Versions of VISUAL prior to 9.0.0 were not developed on a Windows10 certified platform, therefore although Windows10 may work with earlier versions of VISUAL, it cannot be guaranteed. If you are successfully running prior versions of VISUAL on uncertified versions of Windows and a problem occurs due to Windows or patches of, the proper course of action is to roll back the Windows changes, or upgrade to VISUAL 9.0.0 or higher."
Infor recommends turning off auto-updates for Windows 10.
At this point in time, if you have updated to Windows Build 1709 (Fall Creators Update), you may want to roll back to an update prior to 1709. BizTech is looking further into the details to find a workaround.

We are at it again! This is part of the ongoing saga of a small (poorly insulated) house in Alaska and my never ending love of changing things. It is only slightly quilting related because I *may* be moving my quilting stuff to another part of the house soon (as in: out of the living room, bedroom and garage :)
We started with a "sort out" of stuff that's been untouched since dinosaurs roamed Alaska, and have moved on to insulating. Have I ever mentioned how much I hate fiberglass insulation? I love the foamboard insulation (as you might have seen in my Cheap Sewing & Quilting Table Tutorial) but oh how I hate fiberglass! I start itching the minute I even *think* about fiberglass!
I've insulated before, helping friends, then insulated my two cabins that I bought (and sold) here in Seward, and slowly we've been insulating Tom's old house. See me covered head to toe when I was doing one of the cabins? LOL! A (former) friend had promised to come help me and never showed, so I did it all myself, from ceiling to walls, and vapor barrier too. The folks at the local home improvement store know me by name! I propped my little camera up on a stump and put the self timer on to take this pic - I was so proud of myself for getting that job done!
Have you gotten the spring cleaning bug?

Spring Cleaning!

I know the feeling of owning a home with no insulation, ours here in Washington is like living on a glacier in the winter. Have you checked into the new denim insulation? It is comparitive in price to fiberglass without the itch. I have tried spring cleaning here and there!

I would love to start spring cleaning--but it is hard with rain and 3 to 4 ft of snow banks yet in the yard. The only thing is maybe this rain will melt down the snowbanks.
- April 6, 2009 at 10:28 AM
Spring cleaning...... what is that??? I do plan to do some of that but my plans usually go astray after a few hours.
I retired 13 years ago and said I was going to clean my closet -- guess what -- it still needs a little cleaning.
I love reading your blog. One reason is my maiden name is McManus from South Carolina. I don't see very many folks with this last name on the quilting circuit.
We have visited Alaska and I loved it (only in the summer, though).

April 14th - It has snowed twice in the past 4 days and it snowed today. I am so tired of the snow!! The poor daffodils are buried now!
Hi Mary! The McManus name is from an ex-husband :) Have you ever read the books of Patrick McManus - absolutely hilarious.
I am glad you have seen Alaska in the summer because I am *convinced* that we have entered an ice age. I now have no hope of seeing summer ever again!!
Where is that phone number for Alaska Airlines????

I'm in your situation right now. I think the best thing is make your goal to lose at least a pound a week, don't think about how many pounds you still have to lose. That's the discourage path, the best thing we can do it just concentrate on working out, eat healthy, drink tons of water. Tomorrow I'm going to the gym and I'm thinking how much fun I can have and not how many pounds I can lose, because the more you look at the scale, the more discourage you become…Let's keep in touch if you want..Here's my email email@example.com
Remember this WE CAN DO IT!! DON'T GIVE UP!!!! :)
I know it's hard to be patient, but do it slowly! Find lifestyle changes that work for you and that you can stick to! I made little tweaks to my life and, most importantly, focused on my happiness and the weight slowly melted away. I've lost 60 pounds total and have been able to keep it off for 6 years! Focus on eating good things, like veggies, which will fill the space that you want to stuff with bad things :) Also, do as much walking as you possibly can. I just read an article in the Wall Street Journal that said studies were finding that walking and being active everyday worked better than the "3 times a week" routine. It keeps your metabolism going at a steady pace without wearing you out.
Lastly, stop focusing on the number! As they say, time flies when you're having fun and I think the pounds naturally come off when you're enjoying life, so focus on getting rid of the feeling that your value is connected to your weight, because It most certainly is not :)posted over 6 years ago
Taking daily walks (40minutes at least) will not only help you to lost weight but also keep the metabolism burning after you reach the goal,because its very easy to gain those pounds again and in a very fast amount of time.for me gym never worked i cant follow crazy aerobics teachers so that was my solution(i had lost much more than 45lbs )and of course dont eat a lot of sugar or unhealthy food.only a bit because if you private from all at first you will be craving for them and can be tempted anytimeposted over 6 years ago
I am not in that category. But I can give you a simple advice. Firstly, you have to realise that one puts on weight because of too much eating or less exercise or both. But mostly it is because your intake of food is too much. So ask the question: Am I hungry? If the answer is NO. then don't eat. Also, soon after dinner, brush your teeth, Then you don't feel like eating. But what ever you do, keep motivated and focused.posted over 6 years ago

We ALL love the sun, but nothing is harder on your skin than constant sun exposure. Sooner or later, your skin is going to show the signs of sun damage, whether you're an actual sun worshipper or just a lover of the outdoors.
If you are unhappy with the appearance of sun-damaged skin, Aesthetic Allure℠ can help. Using a combination of lasers and skin treatments, we can make your skin not only look better but be healthier as well.
Treating sun damage:
Reverse the sight of damaged skin. This is a quick and comfortable laser procedure with little to no downtime, used for improving the overall appearance of your skin.
Three-step combination sessions will rejuvenate your skin and expose a new glow.
1. Laser spot removal
2. Chemical peel
3. Microdermabrasion
What Causes Sun Damage/ Age spots?
Sun damage is caused by frequent exposure to damaging ultraviolet (UV) rays. UV is an undetectable form of radiation emitted by the sun. There are two types of UV rays, UVA and UVB. UVA rays penetrate deep into the skin and are the major source of early aging and skin cancer. UVB rays primarily access the surface of the skin and are the key source of sunburns.
Age spots are flat brown-black spots that usually occur in sun-exposed areas on the body. Age spots are sometimes called brown spots or liver spots. They are completely unrelated to the liver or liver function. The increased pigmentation of age spots is brought on by aging, exposure to sun or to other forms of ultraviolet lights.
What Increases the Sun's Damaging Effects?
We are all vulnerable to the harmful effects of the sun. However, some people may be more at risk than others. People that have sustained burns are definitely in one of the top groups of individuals that are at a higher risk. Below you will see a list of what else can put you in a high-risk bracket.
- Where you live: If you live closer to the equator, the sun is directly overhead and the UV rays are stronger. Anyone who lives in the mountain regions should be cautious as well. Studies there is a roughly 8% to 10% increase in UV intensity for every 1,000 feet of increased altitude.
- How do you live: Do you enjoy outdoor activities? Remember, sun damage accumulates over time the more you are exposed, the more damaged your skin becomes. Apply sun protection every time you venture out.
- Your Medications: Certain medications, such as antibiotics, cause heightened sensitivity to the sun. Ask your doctor if any of your medications can cause photosensitivity.
- Genetics: Are you fair-skinned with light hair (red or blonde) and freckles? If so, you are at a higher risk of succumbing to sun damage. If you have a family history of skin cancer, take extra measures and use daily sun protection.
