Labor day has come and gone and as we say goodbye to summer, I'm looking back on my favorite swimwear trends of 2015.
This was definitely the year of maximum coverage. Girls everywhere were wearing more fabric than ever! Celebs embraced the less (skin) is more fad as well. I hope these looks will stick around.
Here's the top 3 trends I loved this summer!
Stars like Rihanna, Demi Lovato and Beyonce loved rockin' printed one pieces this year. My girl Soyela and I hit the beach for SUP Yoga (read more about this on A to B Style) in our Lychee versions. They are super sexy but offered just the right amount of coverage for our active day.
The retro look is Taylor Swifts signature style, but I also spotted Gigi Hadid and Katy Perry rocking this belly friendly trend. I gave it spin in this crisp white Nookie Beach bikini. Sheer panels and a halter neck add interesting details to this classic silhouette. I added a wrap from Swim by Chuck Handy and pink Woody's Barcelona shades for a pop of color.
I LOVE turqouise. These simple Meme London earrings and a matching Sterling Forever cuff are chic but pool appropriate. Easy to take off when you're ready for a dip in the pool!
Leave it to JLo to embrace this daring trend. Cutouts were all the rage with stars like Nina Dobrev and Kourtney Kardashian. This daring style gives the world a sneak peek at the goods so be ready for all eyes to be on you! I felt the love when I stopped by Alessandra Ambrosio's labor day pool party. I stepped out in this Mia Macrelle plunging one piece which also has a pretty floral/geometric print. It's slashed all the way up the sides. Think of it as built in gills, mermaid!
This suit is sneaky since the material is thick, it can be worn as a sexy body suit when paired with an asymmetrical maxi skirt like this one from Free People. Peach Steve Madden wedges keep it bright and cheery. Just the spirit for a daytime party in the sun! My gorgeous friend Kara Lusardi, who designed the banging dress she's wearing, is the perfect arm candy. We always have a blast!

Passing Thoughts: Europe 2013
I recently travelled thru a number of cities in Europe for the first time. Over the eight week trip, I used a travel journal to keep track of random thoughts, observations and inspiration. I then used the best ones to experiment with typography. These are the results.

Holiday on Ice
Romantic Romanza
At the 28th of December me went to see Holiday on Ice - Romanza with Berry and her two collegeaus. In the show were two Famous Dutch people who were first and second at the show 'Sterren dansen op het ijs' (Stars dancing on the ice), Sita and Geert Hoes.
It was really fun and we had great seats: in front of the icefloor, watching the settings behind! Me liked it very much... so me had to put my googly eyes in front of Berries mobile camera for a Cookie Report shot!

Meeting Sebastian Masuda, Creator of Kawaii
Side note—Chris is my college roommate and close friend. He introduced me to almost all of the Japanese things I talk about.
Sometime at the end of 2013, Chris made me watch PONPONPON. It changed my life forever. Well, it did introduce me to quirky j-pop sensation Kyary Pamyu Pamyu and the kawaii style of video's Art Director, Sebastian Masuda.
On March 25, 2015 Chris and I had the fantastic opportunity to meet Masuda in person.
Tweet an Emoji: Get Real Food
What do I order? It's a common problem a lot of Seamless users find themselves in. As coined by Rob Walker in his book Buying In as "the very good problem," there are just too many choices.
Luckily for the distraught Seamlesser, Fooji plans to fix that with a very simple concept: tweeting a food emoji.
Here's how it works.

5 Apps I Use Every Day
Apps are what make smartphones useful. From gaming to balancing your checkbook, apps they are definitely making our lives more convenient.
But I bet you don't even use more than half the apps on your phone. I can't tell you how many times I've downloaded something, used it for a week, and then forgot about it.
However, there are a handful of iOS apps that I use everyday. Here are five of them (all free to download):
Grace Helbig: From YouTube to TV
It's 7:53 pm on Monday, January 5, and #GraceHelbigProject is the second highest trending hashtag on Twitter. So what's happening? Oh, it happened! Grace Helbig is officially going to have her own TV show called The Grace Helbig Project on E!
Mikey Likes It!
So… today I was at work. My co-worker Suki was chowing down on this jumba-foobahshoobah. It smelled reeeel gooood, and me be hungrey at the time.
Then my co-worker John mentions to Suki "Why don't you give it to Mikey? See? He likes it!"
Apparently, it was a reference to a Life Cereal TV commercial. I had to look it up.
This was enlightening. Happy Friday!! 🙂
(Oh, and by the way, she gave me the foodz after she couldn't eat anymore of it due to its spicyness. WIN.)

Actress Mayrin Villanueva has reportedly landed a role in the 22nd James Bond film reports MI6.
Scouting for the next Bond Girl has targeted South America, with dozens of potential actresses and models whittled down to a handful for final screen testing last week. Daniel Craig was rumoured to be in attendance at Pinewood.
Local news coverage in Mexico cites Mayrin Villanueva's husband Jorge Poza, who tells media outlets that his wife has landed a role. She reportedly attended several casting sessions before "producers requested her presence for the film which is currently in pre-production".

A. Using the Internet Printing Protocol
The IPP listening service provides an IPP network protocol service that enables print client systems a means of interacting with a print service on the system that is running the listener. This listener implements server-side IPP protocol support, which includes a broad set of standard operations and attributes. The listener is implemented on Oracle Solaris as an Apache module and a series of shared libraries containing IPP operation and wire support. The IPP software stack is installed when the Oracle Solaris OS is installed on the system. The listening service is an SMF service that depends on the print service to run. As a result, IPP is automatically enabled on a print server when the first print queue has been added . It is also disabled when the last print queue has been removed. If you make configuration changes, you will need to restart the listener. For more information, see How to Restart the IPP Network Listening Service.
The IPP listening service implementation is embedded under the Apache Web Server. The web server receives IPP operations through HTTP POST requests. When an HTTP POST request is received it is passed on to the Apache IPP module (mod_ipp.so). Based on configuration, the Apache Web Service might provide an authentication service and it might also use encryption between client and server. The listening service runs as its own dedicated instance of Apache.
IPP support in the Oracle Solaris OS is split into server-side and client-side support. Both the server-side and client-side support share some common elements, as well as elements that are unique to the client or server operation. As a result, the IPP client and server components share a code base that implements these common elements. The Table A-1 describes the components that make up IPP support in the Oracle Solaris OS.
The Apache configuration for this web server instance runs as the lp print service user, which provides enough privileges to support all of the existing IPP operations, but limits access to print service specific resources. The listening service runs as its own web server instance, specifically configured to support IPP, which is intended to minimize potential security risks.
On the server-side, IPP configuration changes are made to the /etc/apache/httpd-standalone-ipp.conf file. On the client-side, IPP configuration changes are made to the /etc/printers.conf file.
Note - If you make any configuration changes, you need to restart the service to load the new configuration. For more information, see How to Restart the Print Scheduler.
The IPP listening service configuration file, /etc/apache/httpd-standalone-ipp.conf, is like any normal Apache 1.3 configuration file. The configuration files takes any Apache 1.3 configuration directives that you want to use.
The default configuration includes the following features:
Listening on port 631.
Loading of a minimal set of Apache modules.
Enabling all supported IPP operations at the /printers/ path, for example ipp://server/printers/, without requiring authentication.
The default operations that are enabled for/printers/ is limited to a set of operations that poses less of a security risk. However, all operations are enabled at the /admin/ path, for example ipp://server/admin/, with basic authentication required.
The mod_ipp Apache configuration options to choose from are:
ipp-conformance – Selects the level of protocol checking. The default is automatic, allowing maximum client interaction.
ipp-operation – Allows you to selectively enable or disable IPP operation support for one more IPP operations.
ipp-default-user – Selects the user name to use when contacting the local print service.
The default is lp user, which allows for more functional proxying.
ipp-default-service – Selects the default print service where print requests are directed.
The default is the lpsched daemon.
Conformance checking types are:
Automatic – Only check that the requested operation is supported by the protocol listener, which is the default.
1.0 – Check that the request conforms to IPP 1.0.
1.1 – Check that the request conforms to IPP 1.1.
The following syntax is used for the IPP operations keywords:
ipp-operation operation enable | disable
For more information about the IPP operation keywords that are used to configure the Apache Web Server, see IPP Operation Keywords.
Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Configuring RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Security Services.
The default configuration in the httpd-standalone-ipp.conf file provides a working IPP listening service for the LP scheduler. To customize your IPP service, use the following section in the httpd-standalone-ipp.conf file:
# mod_ipp specific configuration <IfModule mod_ipp.c> ... ... </IfModule>
Note - You must run the IPP module as lp to have the necessary privileges.
See Also
For more information about IPP settings, see the mod_ipp(4) man page.
Under PAPI support, the bsdaddr value (server,q) is converted to its equivalent printer-uri-supported value (lpd://server/printers/q), when the printer-uri-supported value is missing from the printers database. However, in some situations, such as when there is a mix of client systems and the queue is on an IPP capable server, you might need to manually configure this data.
Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Configuring RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Security Services.
For example:
/etc/printers.conf:queue: \ :bsdaddr=server,queue,Solaris: \ :printer-uri-supported=ipp\://server/printers/queue:

There's no question we're all overly dependent on our smartphones. If you use your smartphone on a daily basis (which you probably do) and you say that you aren't dependent on it, you are just flat out lying to yourself. Well just in case we wanted all the specifics on just how obsessed we are with these little devices, TIME in partnership with Qualcomm polled 5,000 worldwide to gather plenty of information on how we use our phones and how it connects to our lifestyles. Notably, 84 percent of respondents said they could not go a single day without a mobile device.
Here's some more interesting stats to take in. 61 percent of voters plan to get a new phone in less than two years, 65 percent would rather have their phone with them instead of their lunch if they were forced to choose between the two, 50 percent of Americans (and over 80 percent of 18-24 year olds) sleep with their mobile device next to their bed, 32 percent prefer communication text message, 30 percent feel anxious without their phone by their side, and 23 percent screen all their calls and reply via text or voicemail instead — side note: I'm one of those people; guilty as charged for being antisocial.
The poll also dove into some other lifestyles categories to see how our mobile devices affect us there. These include dating, parenting, politics, government and politics, business, and multitasking. To highlight some of the more interesting findings: 43 percent of voters have asked someone on a date via text message, 66 percent feel their mobile device has made them better parents, 40 percent in the U.S. says mobile tech has helped with the economical struggle, 26 percent feel guilty if they don't respond to a work-related message while off duty, and 58 percent worldwide use their mobile device while also using a laptop or desktop computer.
Wow. We are definitely consumed by mobile technology in this day an age. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below and head to TIME to see the full list of results.

In my opinion, capturing the attention of your audience in the first few seconds of a video is the most important goal of a video because that's essentially when they decide to watch the rest of your video or not.
That's why I try to use fast cuts or engaging shots in the first 10-15 seconds of a video. In this real estate video, we tried to incorporate the same idea in the beginning of the video. Keep in mind that it doesn't have to be anything fancy. As long as it's different and creative, people will notice and appreciate it.

Dub reggae stampedes into Breckenridge
summit daily news
Deep tones resonate, growing in intensity as the volume builds, like a thunderstorm on the horizon. Synthesizer and guitar step in, and a ghostly voice weaves a melody over the ripple of sound.
This is Tatanka, a genre-blending Front Range band that mixes chunky reggae beats with ethereal keyboard strokes to get crowds alternately swaying like wind-blown trees and bouncing to a jungle-inspired, thump-and-pulse rhythm.
"It's a really unique blend of a bunch of different backgrounds and styles coming together," said Nate Adams, lead guitarist. "(It's) definitely reggae-based; some people call it dubtronic – a bit of an electronic touch to the reggae, with dancehall and funk."
Tatanka grew out of the Denver music scene, with Ian Gastl on vocals and rhythm guitar, Mike Caine on drums and Andrew Maloney on bass, keys and synthesizer. Dillon local Adams joined up last summer after the band returned from a national tour, completing the quartet.
"I'd been playing in some side projects with some of the members before I joined, mostly with (Maloney)," Adams said. "I got introduced to the rest of the band, and it went really well from there."
Named after the Sioux word for bison, Tatanka transforms that earthy image into a sort of organic warmth, softening the edges of electronica and even throwing in the occasional sample from nature.
"We just released a brand new EP at the end of January called 'Cloudless Thunder,'" Adams said. "It's a Native American term. … 'Cloudless thunder' was a buffalo stampede in the distance. We like to say that you'll definitely hear us before you see us – a loud, thunderous noise, like a bison stampede."
Tatanka is in the middle of a four-show tour, playing with the Expendables in Boulder on Sunday and Aspen on Monday and then traveling to Breckenridge for a solo show at three20south Tuesday. The tour will close in Denver on Thursday with a double bill featuring Stick Figure, another nationally touring reggae band.
"We like to play mountain shows a lot; it's a really good crowd every time, a really receptive audience," Adams said. "Always a lot of energy and excitement."
Take Tatanka for a test drive on the band's MySpace page before Tuesday's free show in Breck.
"It's a fresh take on the classic reggae rhythms, something that no one else is playing right now in the music scene," Adams said. "Our goal is to have everyone in the room moving and dancing and having a good time."

The huge losses suffered by JP Morgan following its London office's disastrous investment strategy, could just as easily happen elsewhere, the chairman of the UK's largest retail bank has warned.
Sir Win Bischoff, chairman of Lloyds Banking Group, made his prediction following yesterday's shareholder meeting for the part taxpayer owned institution.
He said: "I'm a great fan of Jamie Dimon [JP Morgan chief executive]. But my concern is if it can happen to JP Morgan, which has such a good risk culture, it could happen to anyone."
He said no links had been found between Lloyds and JP Morgan's positions that led to a $2bn loss in six weeks.
Shareholders in LBG, which includes HBOS, Lloyds TSB and Scottish Widows, voted overwhelmingly in favour of the company's remuneration report.
The firm avoided the sort of investor revolt which has claimed the scalps of chief executives at Aviva, Trinity Mirror and AstraZeneca, thanks, in part, to boss Antonio Horta-Osorio waiving his bonus. Sir Win called the decision of Horta-Osorio to not take a bonus a "principled decision".
To cheers from the around 800-strong audience, one shareholder said: "There should be no bonuses until a return of the dividend."
Chairman Sir Win said: "We will resume payment of the dividend as soon as financially possible."
He added: "This is the preeminent issue for the board. We'd like to introduce it sooner rather than later."
There was no revision to the £3.6bn pot put aside to fund the PPI payouts to customers mis-sold insurance, but Horta-Osorio revealed half the amount – £1.8bn – has already been paid out.

Perhaps it's self-imposed, but I commonly sense that other people think of my yoga practice, or yoga practice in general, as very selfish. And to a point, it sort of is. It's certainly self-involved; I would even argue that yoga is the study of the self, it takes up large chunks of time, and typically your practice isn't really a group thing. Sure, you go to class and see your friends and fellow practitioners, but ultimately you're there to dig into you. And then hopefully, you can take that work out into the world. (That seems to be a message in every single one of my posts, huh?)
In one of my favorite books on yoga, Awake in the World, author Michael Stone puts it this way:
Yoga reawakens ones connection with the whole body and mind and in so doing restores pathways of communication at an inner level that then begin to spread out into the interpersonal world as well. When we are safe in our own bodies, we have a ground from which to step out into the world. (p. 155)
And I wonder, how else are you going to get to know yourself? To really begin to understand the inner workings of the mind, you have to go deep. You gotta really go inward and get really quiet and listen, listen, listen, and do that again and again and again. And then you might, just maybe, possibly catch the tiniest glimpse into your true nature. Your capital S Self, if you will.
Okay, that's all well and good, but take caution. You come to know yourself through svadhyaya or self-study, but hopefully we can use that self-awareness to be part of the greater whole. We get into trouble when we think of ourselves as separate from the rest of humanity.
Again, Michael Stone:
We are not in any way separate from anything else. Ocean cliffs get hammered by the wind, falling rain is eventually pulled back into cloud, and the ego is always traumatized by the flux of life. When we are stuck in the framework of a "me" and a "world out there" or a "me" in a body in a world, we alienate our "selves" from the world. Self apart from the world is a mere abstraction because we are not inherently separate from anything. (p.23)
Alright, so we've got a few things going on. Through the practice of yoga, we study ourselves and become aware of our habitual patterns of thought, our reactionary tendencies, and the intense hold of our ego on our own minds. Then, (probably many years later) once you are armed with your Self-knowledge, you can start to break down the barriers of the mind which see the self as separate from the rest of humanity. Everyone has the same (to borrow a term from sanskrit scholar Nicolai Bachman) inner light of awareness and ultimately we're all just trying to be happy. Or perhaps more importantly, we're trying to have santosha (contentment).
Which brings me to my point, the reason I'm writing this post.
Only you can make you happy. When we rely on other people (spouses, children, boyfriends, friends) to create our happiness, we run into trouble. It might work for a bit. We can certainly feel joy and love in the presence of others, but to rely on that feeling, to need the presence of another person to feel it sets us up for future pain. Because then when things change, as they inevitably will (the world and all its creatures are in a constant state of flux) suffering results.
When we can take refuge and root into ourselves, while we will evolve and change in time, we are present for that change. If you can be comfortable with all your quirks, if you can accept your humanity, if you can love you, you'll have the foundation for a life of contentment. Which is not to say that there won't be suffering, but when it occurs, you will be both your anchor and your guiding light to joy again.
Okay great! Let's do it, right? Well, how?
Like pretty much all the posts on this blog, it's easier said than done! If it was so easy to love ourselves, there wouldn't be nearly the heartache and pain and struggle that exists in the world. But I know it's possible! We have to practice acceptance. We have to be as kind to ourselves as we would to another being. We have to offer ourselves compassion for our failures and missteps. We have to acknowledge our shortcomings and try to be better. Put your lovin' kindness into you first. If you can be happy and content, you'll project that action out into the world.
What are some of your ideas? How do you practice self love?

Reviews (4.4 out of 5 Grommets)
But I've also used them for calling in to conference calls at work. Good sound quality, anf work with my smaller-than-average head size.
Work in heavy rain - or sunny sweat. Love 'em!
My parents had been married for 76 years when my Father died in mid December of 2018. We had videos of him telling her he loved her, but she could not hear them. We bought this, and she can HEAR him. Her eyes lit up and then the tears began to flow! It was amazing!
WOW! Incredibly comfortable, great sound and he hardly notices they are there!
I bought for myself and oldest son tried them once and I haven't seen them since! He LOVES them!
Ordering another to see if it will work for my other son who lost hearing in his right ear after a brain surgery.
Exactly what it describes , cool headphones and my favorite color, Green. It works perfectly and stylish. Love it . Love it. Thank you Grommet.
I bought these because my cheap over the ear type ear buds quit working, and I prefer to listen to music when I run. These worked great. No issue with coming out of place, even with a lot of sweat on a hot day. It was great not to have the cord to deal with either. The also didn't interfere with my sunglasses. Great product!
Great head set for every thing
Both my husband and I have a pair
And when they work there great
They really work and great when exercising
Loved it so much I bought one for myself and my husband.
Wish it had longer charge to it than you can get
The AfterShokz Story
Tune In Without Tuning Out
Joggers can hear cars, animals, and other potential hazards, while office workers won't find themselves "tuned out" from important conversations. Because the Bluez 2 set is Bluetooth-enabled, there are no wires to worry about, either.
AfterShokz use "bone conduction technology." It was first developed by the military in the '80s, and SWAT teams continue to use it today. By sending audio signals through your cheekbones, the vibrations are carried to your audio canal. With normal headphones, sound goes straight to your ears, which can cause damage in the long run. AfterShokz bypass your ears entirely. The dual-microphone system even lets you talk, hands-free, on the phone.
With a high-tech look (a la Google glass), these headphones are worn on the back of your head. They are comfortably made with sweat-resistant materials. And since nothing sticks in your ear, they don't interfere with hearing devices, and you can share them with other people without feeling creeped out.
This innovative audio is safe for your ears. . . and the rest of you. Read More Read Less

Take your time and have fun styling with plants, here are a few tips to set you on your way.
Move plants around and give them a new spot so they don't look samey and static. Move them around and style up with a variety of hero objects, you might have a collection of pots, a favourite beach find or a treasure picked up on an adventure
Before you get cracking with the styling, first tidy up and clear your space. Remember beautiful styled images are about what's in front of the camera. You maybe very aware of the cluttered corner behind you, but so long as the view in the shot is clear, nobody else needs to be any the wiser. Tidying completed, gather together the pieces you have chosen to work with in one place.
To construct the narrative, choose plants of different heights, leaf shape and colour. Start to layer up the plants along with the hero object. The rich texture of green on green gives the hero a backdrop shine out from. Alternitively choose just one plant or a frond or leaf and display alone in a vintage ceramic vessel with a couple of shapely pieces. With space around, you will be able to observe the design and beauty of the plant and leaf construction.
Remember, be generous at all times. Try a variety of groupings, taking images as you go along a clear space where your hero sings in glorious isolation can have as much impact as a large curated collection.
Be brave, remember rules are there for breaking. Try a variety of groupings taking images as you go along. When you look back over them note how very slight changes to the styled arrangement can make a world of difference.

I've thought it might be nice to post one of these each week, it could be a film, tv programme, youtube video, anything really. This weeks 'One To Watch' goes to The Town, based on the book Prince of Thieves by Chuck Hogan.
"The Charlestown neighborhood of Boston is renowned for churning out a high number of armed robbers, generation after generation. These robbers never leave their Charlestown life on their own volition, the neighborhood where there is an unwritten code to protect that lifestyle. Such robbers include friends Doug MacRay, James Coughlin, Albert 'Gloansy' Magloan and Desmond Elden. Doug and James in particular treat each other like family, as the Coughlins have realistically been as such to Doug since Doug's mother ran off and Doug's father, Stephen MacRay, was sent to prison. James' single mother sister, the drugged out Krista Coughlin, and Doug have a casual sexual relationship. The foursome carry out a mostly successful bank robbery, but due to circumstances take the bank manager, Claire Keesey, hostage for a short period before releasing her physically unharmed. What happens when they find out that Claire lives in Charlestown..."
I watched this on the plane coming home and have since downloaded it and watched it again. Honestly this film is so good. Ben Affleck, Blake Lively and particularly Jeremy Renner are brilliant in it. There are a lot of action scenes but also enough for us girls to enjoy. I loved the ending, I thought it was perfect. Not only that, I adore the Boston accent! If you watch it or have already seen it, please let me know what you thought of it. I thought it was awesome!

This was the walk of Sunday 13th March,2016.
For a number of years I'd frequently seen posts on various forums and blogs of people that had completed the walk from Bassenthwaite over Ullock Pike and up to Skiddaw and regarded them with jealousy! The view of the startling Ullock Pike strutting out from amongst Wainwright's 'Skiddaw family' is without doubt one of the 'must-see', iconic views of the Lake District and I hoped to one day experience it for myself.
I was delighted then when Karl, my walking companion, texted me to say that he had decided on a walk for us…Skiddaw via Ullock Pike and returning via Bakestall. If one were to include the summits of Long Side and Carl Side that would make for four additional 'Wainwrights' with the added bonus of ascending Skiddaw via the 'hard way'.
Thus we arrived at our destination at just before ten o'clock on Sunday and were booted and geared up a little thereafter. I'd read a lot about this walk and had readied myself for a stern challenge. At first I was impressed…with my walking fitness, I didn't appear to be struggling. Then, we reached Watches where all that changed! Ullock Pike was trying its best not to be inconspicuous, it stood out like the proverbial 'sore thumb'. However this was but a shrinking violet compared to the sheer 'in your face' attitude proffered by the broad side of the looming hulk of Skiddaw – the undisputed king of the area. I'd ascended Skiddaw in 2013 via the 'easy, tourist' route. What I could see of the path which began at Carl Side and appeared to climb up at a thirty degree angle, looked anything but easy. First we had Ullock Pike to traverse, and in itself that was no mean feat. Ullock Pike can be likened to Clougha…save for the fact that one (the former) is almost a thousand feet higher than the other (the latter). Clougha has numerous, well, cloughs, areas of depressions, sudden rises, Ullock Pike has these in spates! Some might refer to these rises as false summits, I could probably summon up some more robust sounding adjectives. After no more than thirty minutes walking, my thighs were nicely warmed up thank you very much, some might even say burning!
I found it surprising to see many people on this side of the mountain (Skiddaw) with this being the side for the more adventure, thrill-seeking, walkers. All the same, whilst we would have seen exponentially more walkers on the tourist side, we did see and say 'hi' to perhaps twenty or more walkers during our climb to the summit of Ullock. When we arrived at the summit, the views of most of the peaks of the Lake District opened out to us. Grisedale Pike looked (to me anyway) as tempting as ever, Helvellyn appeared quite near and Bassenthwaite lake itself looked enormous. What was most pre-eminent in my mind was that fearful looking path up Skiddaw, oh my it looked steep! Karl and Sue must have seen the colour wash right out of my face and both did their best to reassure me that it was wider than it looked and would not be the Skiddaw equivalent of Striding Edge. That being said, it was a good deal narrower than any 'edge' upon which I've placed my feet! I was nervous and excited at the same time.
From Ullock Pike we first descended then walked along the level edge which is Long Side or at least Long Side Edge – I don't know if this is technically a mountain, fell or just a col on the route over to Carl Side. Nevertheless it made for a great stopping point at which we could consume our lunch, it was 12:02 after all. It makes sense to eat when there is significantly more of the walk yet to do – as opposed to some walks when we don't eat until the apex of the walk when, invariably, it's all downhill from there and the surplus energy gets put into reserve. The more that I walk, the more planning and preparation goes into that walk.
After lunch I pretty much charged across to the rounded summit of Carl Side as I wanted to start work on that unnerving track up mighty Skiddaw. We dropped down probably around fifty to one hundred feet in less than a quarter of a mile, this was great apart from the fact that it then meant that we would obviously have to climb up the same distance…and then some! I won't lie, the first few yards of the ever increasing slope were tough but this soon subsided and was replaced by an even tougher gradient. I noticed with some trepidation that the path was at least half as wide as I had believed owing to the majority of it being covered in a three inch layer of snow. 'Oh great', thought I, 'not only am I leaning into the mountain, but now I have to watch every footstep as well!' And watch I did as the gradient once again increased and I began to stumble every few yards even though I now had my eyes glued to my feet! On six occasions I fell forward and had to put my hand out to steady myself. A few people on the way down passed close by me – a mid-twenties woman with deep brown eyes, a very young lad with blonde hair and his 'meat-head' of a father who had seen fit to only wear a t-shirt on the top half of his body – no coat (ah I'm only jealous really, if there was an ounce of fat on him it was a lonely one!). The most unnerving moment was the encounter with a group of mountain bikers (I'm not aware of the collective noun, pack, herd, crash?), one of whom seemed intent on descending the monstrous slope via my route! Fortunately for us both, his friends were able to persuade him not to commit at one and the same time suicide and manslaughter – believe me, if he had come my way he would have been the first of his ilk orbiting the earth!
I stopped on a number of occasions – I was jelly-legged and totally spent, including mentally, I hadn't been this trembly since…well since nearly falling in Holden's Brook during the Amble – before that it would have been since dropping (quite literally) down Great Gable in 2014! After a morning full of false summits I was expecting another…however, after chatting with the more sensible mountain bikers for a few minutes, I was rational enough to notice that one of Skiddaw's tops (for it has two) was really not that far away, perhaps a hundred feet in distance. A surge of energy flooded through me, this was aided by the sight of Sue and Karl whom I had not seen for a good ten minutes. Full steam (or what was left of it!) ahead and within a moment I had caught them up – well okay they weren't actually moving! Then, after a moment's pause, I charged ahead on route to the real top – the one adorned with the trig point and other pieces of 'hill-bling'. Although there is a drop and then an ascent, momentum carries walkers forward here from one 'top' to the other and in a few seconds I was tapping the trig point…and then being mobbed by a zealous group of women who wanted me to take a summit photo of their group, I obliged.
Excellent views from Skiddaw's summit are seldom witnessed, good yes, but there is normally too much mist or haze around to facilitate the taking of breathtaking scenery. Today's views could only really be described as fair-to-middling. Yes, we could see all of the Lake District fells, the Isle of Mann and Criffel in Scotland; both floated across their respective bodies of water beautifully and even the mighty Cross Fell and the Dun Fells put in an appearance ..but I would have expected to be able to see all of this and more – I know how greedy that sounds. I was not disappointed, I just wasn't ecstatic about the views. The sense of achievement having ascended such a steep path – after already taking in the strenuous climb of Ullock Pike, was euphoric, if somewhat exhausting to achieve. I had meant to do Skiddaw again and this was definitely the best way to return to the giant.
I think we stayed at the summit of Skiddaw for ten minutes or so, just about long enough to get a decent 'slurp' of water from my under-performing hydration bladder – I really must look into buying something for those of us who don't have lungs like an Olympic swimmer! I was a bit wary of the descent off Skiddaw – there was no way that I was going to descend via the route by which we had gone up – thank goodness. Karl had told me that we would be dropping down to Bakestall next but in all honesty he could have rifled off the names of any fells he wanted and unless they were really obvious (Helvellyn, Scafell, Grassmoor) I would have believed him, I just don't know much about this area.
Ordinarily, when I am at the top of a hill, any hill, I only want to descend all the way back to the car- no uphill bits whatsoever. This shows some hill walking inexperience and is a bit lazy, hills aren't made like that, and neither are valleys, where most hills are found. Fortunately enough for me, the drop off Skiddaw was monumental and a bit snowy in places, both of which led to an enjoyable drop, which seemed to go on and on. Karl did enjoy a slide down a few yards – which looked like fun, I only fell once. Before long we were traversing the top of Bakestall and found ourselves another spot to sit and eat (drink in my case) and admire the views across to Scotland over the Solway Firth. More locally a lake of which I'd never heard (Over Water) came into view and looked ever so cute being so near to Bassenthwaite – which is vast! Other fells that are on my to-do list came into view, Carrock Fell and the viewing platform of Great Calva had been getting larger and now were at their full viewing heights from this aspect.
In spite of the allure of the serenity, which could have kept us there all day, we chose to leave and drop some more…and what a drop. The descent from Bakestall to the Cumbria Way is pretty much like falling downhill. I couldn't really guess at the gradient, suffice to say, I'm glad we never went up this way as this would have crushed my spirits, each time I turned around to gaze at what we had dropped down it seemed relentless. It's true to say that certain patches of the downhill stretch were so we that they reminded me of doing the Anglezarke Amble. Ultimately our path down Bakestall led us on to the Cumbrian Way, we turned left and began the sometimes tarmac, sometimes grass track back to where we had parked. It was not all grass and tarmac for all to behold, the stunning Dash Falls were a sight for sore eyes (not that we had sore eyes) and Dead Craggs may have a terrible name but they are quite captivating. I practically welled with pride each time that I took in the whole view of the walk as we walked mile after mile along our tarmac / grass highway. If we had just done the whole of Long Side Edge, from Ullock Pike to Carl Side, this would still be a walk of which anyone could be proud. But we'd gone better than that, we'd done Skiddaw – the hardest way and that was a sensation of unrivalled pride onto which I will hold on for the rest of the year.
The walk's statistics don't make for particularly impressive reading, we ascended something like 2,800 feet over roughly nine and a quarter miles. We left the car at 10:02 and returned at around 16:20. I hope to make it back to Skiddaw again at some point, it won't be this year, it may very well not be for another three years, but this old friend will always be in my thoughts whenever they turn to the subject of mountains, for this is truly a mountain of note, without doubt the king of its area (sorry Blencathra!)

Who's at fault?: Beliefs about victim and perpetrator blame in cases of sexual assault.
With Nitzan Cohen and Maggie McQuire (current Ph.D. students in Counseling Psychology)
This study investigates people's beliefs about who is at fault in situations involving sexual assault. Specifically, we look at how people's beliefs vary as a function of characterological and situational variables and the interaction between the two. Characterological variables include gender, degree of religious observance, and political ideology. Situational variables include degree of fear and pre and post the #metoo movement.
Orienting to See the Invisible: Learn to Ignore the Irrelevant
With Jaclin Gerstal-Friedman (Doctoral candidate – Counseling Psychology program)
Poster presented at the bi-annual meeting of the International Society for Psychological Science. Amsterdam
The current study used a triad judgment task to assess whether blocking by comparison type could lead people to pay less attention to surface level (irrelevant) features and pay more attention to deep (structural) features of information. On each triad, participants were asked to evaluate which of two source scenarios went best with the target scenario. Three types of triads were constructed with materials related to the ability to perceive ethical issues within the practice of psychology. One type of triad contrasted a scenario that was similar to the target in terms of surface level features and a scenario that was similar in terms of deep features (SS/SD). A second triad type contrasted a scenario that was similar in terms of deep features with an unrelated scenario (SD/U). The third contrasted a scenario that was similar in terms of surface features with an unrelated scenario (SS/U). There were ten triads of each type. We found that for the SD/U triads, participants were reliably able to pick out the scenario that was similar in terms of deep features. However, with the SD/SS triads most participants reliably chose the scenario that was similar in terms of surface level features with the exception of one condition. Participants, who first were shown the ten SD/U triads, were significantly more likely to choose the scenario that was related by deep features on SD.SS triads.. The results provide evidence that people often have the ability to perceive the deep, but they are distracted by the surface-level features. The results also show that people can be oriented away from being distracted by the surface level features so that they can see the deep.
Teachers' Educational Beliefs About Students With Learning Disabilities
With Andrew Landers (PhD Candidate, School Psychology)
Teachers' educational beliefs, ranging from expectations of student performance to notions about instructional practice, and their connection to student outcomes and teacher behavior, have been well documented in research. The way in which teachers evaluate and categorize concepts and information in relation to their work with students with learning disabilities, however, does not share the same developed history in the current literature. Additionally, there is a lack of research exploring how the overall socioeconomic status of an educational environment relates to variations in teachers' educational beliefs. This study has four goals: to examine teachers' agreement on statements about students with learning disabilities, to assess how well teachers can predict the beliefs of other teachers, to examine the categorization of statements as facts or beliefs, and to assess how these variables vary in teachers across educational environments that differ by prominent socioeconomic status (SES).
A Trip Down Memory Lane: Attachment Related Differences in Memory for Relational Information
With Heather Yeghnazar (Doctoral candidate, Counseling Psychology)
Poster presented at the bi-annual meeting of the International Society for Psychological Science. Amsterdam.
This study investigates the role of constructive processes in memory for relational information as presented through prose. Attachment theory is applied as a schema for interpreting relational information, and its role on memory is assessed through use of a false recognition paradigm. Previous research suggests that individuals vary in their memory for information pertaining to relationships based on their level of attachment security or insecurity (Belsky et al., 1996; Edelstein, 2006; Feeney & Cassidy, 2003; Fraley & Brumbaugh, 2007; Fraley et al., 2000; Kirsh & Cassidy, 1997; Mikulincer & Arad, 1999; Miller & Noirot, 1999; van Emmichoven, van Ijzendoorn, De Ruiter, & Brosschot, 2003). Additionally, individual attachment security predicts unique variation in false recognition of attachment related words (Block, 2009). This study extends prior research by investigating individual differences in false recognition of attachment related themes within a narrative about relationships.
Domain Effects on Knowledge Organization Preferences
With Nina Proestler, (PhD, Educational Psychology)
Poster presented at the 24th annual convention of the Association for Psychological Science, Chicago, IL.
This study used a triad judgment task to investigate whether participants preferred taxonomic or thematic associations within the domain of the animal kingdom. Eleven different triad types were constructed where we contrasted varying degrees of taxonomic relatedness with thematic associations (thematically related animals – food – and thematic location. While the taxonomic choice was preferred when paired with thematic related animals, locations presented as thematically related terms seemed to be favored equally and even stronger than taxonomic related animals. Surprisingly, thematic related locations were preferred over thematically related animals.
The Effects of Ease of Processing on the Perception and Use of a Verbal Strategy
With Kenneth Woolley (PhD, Educational Psychology)
This research assesses how ease of processing of relevant knowledge would affect the efficacy, perception, and maintenance of a cognitive strategy. Participants were instructed to use of a componential strategy for solving verbal analogy problems and performance was assessed on both initial learning and maintenance trials. The familiarity of problem content was varied in a between-subjects fashion for both vocabulary and concept relationship accessibility. Results confirmed the effectiveness of the componential strategy training and the significant effect of the knowledge manipulations. Also, knowledge accessibility affected the way in which the strategy was perceived. Participants rated the strategy as more useful, easier to use, and less effortful when their initial strategy experience involved solving analogy problems based on familiar vocabulary and relationships. Also, participants who had experience with both the easy vocabulary and easy relationships were significantly more likely to maintain use of the strategy on the maintenance task. These results were contrasted with the position advocating for presenting desirable difficulties.
Beliefs About Addiction: The Role of Political Ideology
With Jaclin Gerstal-Friedman (PhD Candidate, Counseling Psychology
This research examines how Liberals and Conservatives differ in their perceptions of addiction. We will look at three models of addiction: (a) a disease model which conceptualizes addiction through a medical paradigm, (b) a sociological model, which looks at the macro causes of addiction, and (c) a moral or personal characteristic model which views a flaw in character as the source of addiction. Additionally, the study will investigate the actual and perceived consensus, and accuracy of consensus predictions, within political groups. Finally, the study will assess addiction paradigm preferences within political groups, as they relate to epistemological beliefs about the nature of science.
Guided Cognition Of Unsupervised Learning: A New Approach to Designing Homework
With William B., Whitten II and Sandra Whitten
Guided Cognition is an instructional design approach where homework tasks guide learners to engage in specific, observable cognitive events hypothesized to elicit cognitive processes that result in learning. Five experiments employed Guided Cognition design in authentic learning environments. Homework was enriched by inserting cognitive events common in supervised learning. Designing homework questions to include content-focused cognitive events significantly increased learning compared to traditional homework. Advantages of Guided Cognition study were not due to content, time-on-task, or teaching, and occurred across a range of abilities, subject matter, and retention intervals. These advantages likely result from effective cognitive processes triggered by the embedded cognitive events which create more elaborate, salient, durable, and accessible representations.
Beliefs about Vaccinations: Comparing a sample from a medical school to that from the general population
With Lauren Latella (PhD student in counseling psychology) and Robert McAuley (Oakland University)
In the current study, we surveyed students and faculty within a medical school (n = 58) and a sample from the general population in the US (n = 177) about beliefs related to vaccinations. Recently, a number of parents have chosen to stop vaccinating their children and as a consequence a number of diseases that were nearly eradicated such as whooping cough, measles, and diphtheria have returned.
Each participant was asked to evaluate statements about vaccinations (both pro and con) on a number of dimensions. Overall, we found that people in both samples agreed with pro more that con statements, but the medical sample tended to be more likely to categorize the pro statements as facts than the general population. In reference to categorizing statements into facts vs. beliefs, we observed that there was little consensus within each group as to which statement was which. We also looked at "illusion of uniqueness effect" (Stern, West, & Schmidt, 2014) that investigates whether people underestimate the percentage of people who would agree with them. We observed that while both samples exhibited this effect, the medical sample exhibited this more than the general population. The implications of the medical sample underestimating the general population level of agreement is discussed in reference to implications in terms of how doctors and patients communicate.
Does health consciousness influence the way individuals perceive illness?
With Lauren Latella (PhD student in Counseling Psychology)
In the current study, we assessed people's beliefs about illness causation as a function of health consciousness. Using Mechanical Turk and obtaining a national sample from the U.S. (n = 101), we asked people to evaluate different statements environmental/biological and spiritual/psychological causations of illnesses on a number of dimensions. With the increasing demand for universal health care in the US, clinicians and policymakers are seeking ways to understand how people's perception of illnesses relate to health related behaviors. This drive to greater the wellbeing of US citizens has created a push for preventative health measures, influencing citizens' the level of health consciousness. Overall, we observed that research that regardless of the level of health consciousness, participants agreed more with environmental/biological statements (vs. spiritual/psychological). Participants were also more likely to categorize environmental/biological (vs. spiritual/psychological) statements as "facts" and spiritual/psychological (vs. environmental/biological) statements as "beliefs." Importantly, we found that participants that exhibited a higher level of health consciousness (as measured by Hong's (2015) adaptation of Dutta-Bergman (2004, 2006, and 2007) scale) significantly overestimated the percentage of people who would agree with them on both types of illness statements, thereby exhibiting the "the truly false consensus bias" (Krueger & Clement, 1994), whereas the individuals classified as lower health consciousness did not. The implication of the higher health consciousness overestimation as it relates to health related decision making will be discussed.

As the face ages and the number of static wrinkles grows, gentle procedures using hyaluronic acid or similar fillers can help regain your youthful freshness. The advantage here is that no operations are necessary and there is no scarring.
Hyaluronic acid
is a natural component of the skin's layers. As the skin's biological ageing process progresses, its concentration of hyaluronic acid also declines, thus diminishing the skin's capacity to store water. Cosmetic medicine has therefore been using synthetic hyaluronic acid for some time now to counteract the formation of wrinkles. It is injected under the skin and 'pads out' the appearance of wrinkles.
Which treatments with hyaluronic acid are available?
We offer a variety of treatments. Regardless of whether you wish to have small or deep wrinkles treated, typically nasolabial wrinkles, marionette lines, drooping mouth corners or many other types, or if you wish to rejuvenate your face by plumping up sunken cheeks, we will be glad to advise you on your specific needs. We will offer you the best method for you.
Congenital or age-related thinning or asymmetry of the lips can also be corrected and youthfulness restored using hyaluronic acid.

Teacher Spent 70 Hours Turning Classroom Into Hogwarts For His Students.
It takes a special type of person to become a teacher. A teacher is the person that helps mold children's minds. They inspire and encourage kids to find out their dreams, and reach for the stars to achieve them. Sometimes children get a teacher that feels so passionate about what they do, that they go above and beyond the call of duty. It's important to make learning fun, and exciting. Getting children to actually want to learn is sometimes half the battle. This teacher is one of those teachers that his students will remember for the rest of their lives. He encourages learning in the most magical of ways!
Welcome to the wonderful world of Mr. Kyle Hubler's classroom.
Kyle Hubler is a seventh and eighth grade teacher at Evergreen Middle School, in Hillsboro, Oregon. Before school started this year, he found out he was moving classrooms and had an absolutely magical idea!
He decided to bring his favorite theme to life.
Hubler had used some Harry Potter elements in his room last year, and the kids loved it! So, he decided to make it way bigger with his new classroom.
Kyle Hubler / Facebook
Hubler is a mega fan of the wonderful Harry Potter series.
He loves it so much because of the impact it had on him when he was a child. "Being a kid can be tough sometimes ― there were times when I felt weird and that I didn't belong to any circle of friends, and reading the books was a way to escape that and feel like I did belong," explained Hubler.
Kyle Hubler / Facebook
He carried the lessons learned through Harry Potter with him throughout his life.
"As I grew up, I became more skilled in socializing and developed stronger connections with friends, but the lessons in the books about acceptance, loyalty, and integrity stayed with me and inform a lot of the philosophy I have in my approach to teaching and how I interact with my students," Hubler said.
Kyle Hubler / Facebook
Hubler wanted to share his love and lessons learned with his students.
He spent an incredible 70 hours turning his classroom into a Harry Potter book! He brought some of his own Potter merchandise from home, but he knew he had to do more.

text: Alberta unions urge action on gas station safety following worker deathSay death could have been avoided via pay-at-the-pump legislation06/16/2015|safety-reporter.com|Last Updated: 06/17/2015 Following the senseless death of Maryam Rashidi, a gas station attendant in Calgary, the leaders of many of Alberta's largest unions are calling on Rachel Notley's NDP government to move quickly to introduce a "pay-before-you-pump" law.The Alberta Federation of Labour's Executive Committee, the presidents of dozens of private and public-sector unions voted unanimously in support of a motion calling on the Notley government to implement a four-part workplace safety plan for gas stations, similar to the laws in place in BC and other provinces."Almost every province in Canada enacted pay-before-you-pump legislation after a similar tragedy in British Columbia a decade ago, but Alberta's Tory premiers didn't have the guts to stand up to industry lobbyists," AFL president Gil McGowan said. "With a new government, we're hopeful that there will finally be a willingness on the part of our elected representatives to enact a pay-at-the-pump law in Alberta and other measures designed to ensure the safety of gas station attendants."RELATED ARTICLESSmelter workers in Kitimat begin health and safety petitionOntario moves ahead on PTSD legislation for first respondersTeamsters call for investigation at Humber River HospitalThe AFL's recommendation to the Alberta government include:Introduce a "pay-before-you-pump" law that would require customers to pre-pay or pay at the pump before they can pump gas.Introduce regulations making it mandatory for gas station employers to provide their employees with training on how to deal with robberies and gas-and-dash situations. Training must make it clear that money lost from gas-and-dash robberies will not be deducted from an employee's paycheque.To ensure worker safety introduce regulations that require gas stations to have more than one person on night shift duty or have one worker in a locked area behind bulletproof glass.Launch an investigation to determine whether Centex made it clear Ms. Rashidi that money lost from gas-and-dash robberies would not be deducted from her paycheque. It is advised that the company and local manager are prosecuted under Occupation Health and Safety Code and the Criminal Code, if foul play was involved."The province should mandate safety training for gas station attendants - so they know they won't face any penalty for money lost due to robberies," said McGowan."If the bureaucrats are too busy to present this issue to the Minister, we'll do it for them," added McGowan. "And we'll do it today. This is something that should have and could have been dealt with a decade ago. This tragedy took the life of a talented young woman and left her family without a mother and a wife. We're not prepared to wait any longer. We're certainly not going to wait for another tragedy. The time for action is now," said McGowan in response to media reports that government bureaucrats are too busy to put the issue of a pay-before-you-pump law before the new government.

Maybe I'm blind, but I don't see much of anything worth posting at Albertsons this week (Wednesday-Tuesday).
They are running a "Save $10 On Your Next Shopping Trip" when you purchase $20 in selected items. I ran checks on all the items and can't find any coupon match-ups. I will say that the sale price on some of these items are not that bad after factoring in the $10 catalina you receive at the end. You should also be able to roll the catalina and do the deal again. Check out the weekly ad for more details.
Please comment if you find any good deals at Albertsons this week.

Andrew Marcus is yet another blogger I had the pleasure of meeting Thursday at the Ward Churchill protest at DePaul University.
Here in the Chicago area, there are rumblings of a blogger get-together....more on that if it happens.
In my first post this morning, I wrote about the woman I called "Lefty Gal." Well, you can see her in action, using the "F" word--get the kids out of the room--as she confronts a nice gentleman (he was nice to me) wearing a Rush Limbaugh.com "Club G'itmo" shirt.
Rush, send royalties to Andrew's blog, The Mental Ward (Churchill).
And here is that video, Resist or Die.
And you can listen to that chant, too, "The world can't wait, drive out the Bush Regime."
Once again, I'm not clear on how the counterprotesters connect the Ward Churchill protest to President Bush's policies.
