In this little mock interview, hopefully you'll find all the answers to the questions people ask me most. I've tried to cover all the questions I've had by email since the site went up, so a big thanks to everyone who has been in touch. If you keep sending me your queries I'll add to the interview over time and credit you for your contribution.
Who was the first person's hair that you cut?
It was my Dad's and he seemed really quite pleased with the result; I was ecstatic about it - I couldn't leave it alone, and kept touching it and adjusting it in the car on the way home!
Have you ever made any big mistakes on a client's hair?
Once I cut off someone's comb over by mistake, it only ended up going half way across his bald head in a dead straight line. He never came back in, but I always thought that I did him kind of a favour!
Why did you go into hairdressing?
It was something I fell into. I remember discussing work options with my mum and we were in a salon at the time. She said "you don't like getting your hands dirty, you hate the cold, you like wearing nice clothes and you love women"...I have never looked back!
Why did you want to create your own hair products?
So I didn't need to use a bit of this and a bit of that - this way I could have one reliable brand that says what it does on the bottle! It's also means I can give and recommend the best products to my loyal customers. It's something that I am really proud of.
What are your ambitions?
The success I've had has enabled me to create my dreams and ideas in a far more rounded and complete way. I hope to continue with my successful career and keep working in the world of hair dressing for as long as possible. I know of many hairdressers whose work, talent and enthusiasm I inspire me and I hope I can inspire others like this through my training and events.
I've also got more ideas for innovative products which I'd love to see people using and creating great new styles with; keep your eye out - they'll be coming soon - and I'll be keeping my eye on your hair!
Which celebrities' hair do you cut?
I can't deny that I've done famous people's do's. Some of them I've worked with, others are just interested in the sort of thing that I do which is a great compliment (especially when you see them again, look at their style and think I did that)! I dislike name dropping though, I'm as committed to creating a good look for any client whether a-list, b-list or shopping-list. I care about what I do, not who I do. Let's just say I have been known to style a celeb or two, and leave it at that.
Where did you get that cross necklace?
A number of you were interested to know where I'd picked up the cross necklace that I was seen wearing in The Hairdresser.
I bought the necklace some time ago from Dolce & Gabbana and really loved it. But I won't be wearing it anymore as one of you offered to buy it off me, so congratulations to the lucky owner!
How do I get my hair cut by Lee Stafford?
Check out my Couture Appointments and I'll be snipping and styling your hair in no time!
What's your advice to young hairdressers?
My advice for someone starting in the industry is start with the best you possibly can. If you have to travel a long way, do it. If you are going to earn very little because of the cost of travel or digs, just do it. The training is essential whatever the cost. If you play tennis with Sampras every day, and you have the enthusiasm, energy and drive, the chances are looking hot; it's the same in our game.

Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas says he has been assured by chairman Daniel Levy that Gareth Bale will not be sold this summer.
The Welsh superstar is Real Madrid's top target, with the La Liga giants ready to fork out £100million for the midfielder.
But Villas-Boas is adamant Madrid are wasting their time in pursuit of his prize asset.
The Portuguese is quoted by Madrid-based paper Marca as saying: 'We have the pledge of the chairman that Bale is not going to leave the club.'

Bale's future at White Hart Lane has become the biggest transfer saga of the summer.
But Spurs are hopeful, that by making some high-profile signings themselves, they can go some way to matching Bale's ambition and persuade him to stay at White Hart Lane – despite their absence from the Champions League next term.
With new director of football Franco Baldini now in place, it is understood the north Londoners have made Barcelona's David Villa and Brazilians Paulinho and Bernard their top targets as Villas-Boas prepares a fresh onslaught on the Premier League's top four next season.

Jeffrey Feltman, the US assistant secretary of state and the most senior international visitor to arrive in Tripoli since the fall of Col Gaddafi, said Washington was concerned about the spread of both conventional and non-conventional weapons.
He said he had people working "quietly" with the National Transitional Council particularly on the hunt for surface-to-air missiles, of which more than 15,000 are said to be unaccounted for from Col Gaddafi's weapons dumps, and chemical weapon precursors.
"It's a potential risk not only to Libya but to the region," he said.
The rebel military official in charge of securing Tripoli International Airport told The Daily Telegraph yesterday his men were scouring an area of more than 30 kilometres for missing weapons.
The Libyan authorities and their western backers are nervous about allowing the airport to reopen to scheduled passenger flights until they can be sure there can be no threat from any SAMS still in the area. There is also the fear that they may be sold to terrorist groups who could use them to target civilian planes anywhere.
"The policy of Gaddafi was to scatter these missiles through civilian homes," the commander, Mukhtar al-Akdar, said. "We have great difficulty when we try to collect them as some of the local people are very pro-Gaddafi."
He said he had cleared "70-80 per cent" of the relevant area and found a number of SAMS already.
Col Gaddafi is thought to have fled down the airport road out of Tripoli as his troops were driven out of the city three days after his compound, Bab al-Azizia, fell into rebel hands.
Mr al-Akdar said a last-ditch assault on the airport at the time might have been cover for his exit.
Col Gaddafi and his chief spokesman, Moussa Ibrahim, both sent messages to the world from their hiding places on Wednesday.
"The leader is in good health, in high morale – of course he is in Libya," Mr Ibrahim said. "The fight is as far away from the end as the world can imagine. We are still very powerful, our army is still powerful, we have thousands upon thousands of volunteers."
Col Gaddafi sent a message through his last remaining regular media outlet, a Syrian-based television station, demanding protection for the people of Sirte, his birthplace, which is now under siege from rebel forces.
"If Sirte is isolated from the rest of the world in order for atrocities to be committed against it, then the world has a duty not to be absent and you have to take your international responsibility and intervene immediately to stop this crime," he said in a letter addressed to the United Nations Security Council.

'Process' is the path from the humble beginnings (possibly an idea or a thought) to a more finished end. If I had my way, art exhibitions would include not only a display of the 'finished' works but also much of the preparation work it took to get to there. I think this would not only enlighten people to the effort involved, but it would help them appreciate the steps required and stall the race-to-the-end which seems to be urgently demanded. There are well-trodden stages to finished artworks, and much joy to be had in lingering there. It's not ALL about the end.
I am currently working on a small painting of my son. I love sharing the whole process involved in producing artwork, so here is the initial drawing in stages, and the colour study which I did before starting the more careful final painting.
I don't absolutely always do a preliminary drawing - but I am always sorry if I haven't. The drawing study is a valuable way to investigate shapes and tones and placement of the elements to be painted, as well as the place to make decisions about the atmosphere we want to achieve in the final work . Spending time preparing to paint repays tenfold, or more!
The next stage is the colour study. I LOVE this part! In fact, my study has more detail in than is necessary, but I was enjoying it and indulged myself. Working straight to paint, I blocked in a face-shape, without worrying at all about a likeness. The point here is working out what colours, and paying attention to tonal balance too. In this painting, there is a lot of striped light on the forehead from lighting directly above. That is the challenge.
The photo above is to show you the scale - it isn't large. It took an evening to complete.
Now I'm ready to begin the final painting!

Written by Peter White – Creator and writer at Why Do Guys…?
As promised in my last post I'm going to cover many reasons why a guy can not, will not, or does not text you back.
This can help you to alleviate any stress you might experience when your phone goes quiet. Also it can help you decide when it's time to move on.
You'll also notice a few of them have to do with how you acted or act with regards to your phone.
Avoid those little mistakes, follow my two text routine, and I'm positive men will get back to you regardless of some of the reasons listed below.
In no particular order of course…
1. He's busy at work.
You may think this is obvious but unfortunately I've known a few women who will text him at work as a little game. If he is willing to put his work aside for one minute – he must be into you.
You must remember not every guy always carries his phone with him and not all of them have jobs which makes it possible to get back to you.
2. His phone service sucks.
If you're assuming your phone always works and every text you send is received you might assume yourself into over thinking why he's not getting back to you.
The truth is not only do a few texts get lost in the digital world, some get lost while several are sent. He could easily miss it or accidentally skip over it.
3. He has a wife or girlfriend who is close by.
Ouch!! Yes I know but just what if you didn't know he was seeing someone else. What if you didn't know he was even married.
Although this may not be the most common reason you must admit that it can and unfortunately does happen.
4. He's on a date.
Not too many "smart" men I suppose would dare answer another woman's text back while he's on a date.
If you know he's seeing other women or you send the text during a popular "date" time rest be assured he might have been on a date with another woman.
5. He's having sex with another woman…or man.
As above, think about when you're sending a text. I have actually been in this situation myself. My phone was close to the bed and I was smart enough to put it on vibrate but that didn't stop me from hearing the end table shake.
It was two messages from a "girlfriend" trying to get a hold of me at three in the morning while I was having sex with a woman.
6. You send him too many "forwards."
Don't we all have a friend like this? She's the one who constantly sends forwards. sometimes up to ten or fifteen a day.
Sure I understand it's just who she is and yes it can get annoying but what this leads to is…Me deleting many of her message without even looking at them.
She doesn't realize that if she wants to send me anything but a forward I might not even look at it because I delete so many of her messages in the first place.
7. You don't send him any real pictures of you.
This may be for the casual "online" dater. He's happily shared many "real" pictures of himself but you either refused or failed to send him anything but a real picture of yourself.
Send him too many or little pictures that are genuine and you'll hear the "texting" chirps from the digital crickets motioning he's not listening or reading them anymore.
8. He's not interested or attracted to you.
David says this…
If after going out on a date with a guy you have texted him twice without a return text, DELETE THAT NUMBER!
He Is Not Texting or Calling – When Is It Time To Delete His Number?
It happens and as David states sometimes there's no chemistry. Sometimes the attraction just isn't there.
There's a definite possibility he's just not into you. Don't take it personal because it's all just a part of the dating process and you and O both know, rarely ever does a person go though life without being rejected at least once.
9. He thinks texting you back too quickly goes against the "dating code."
Trust me this happens often.
Men get stuck on trying to follow whatever rule of dating they were taught. If I text her back too quickly…If I wait a perfect amount of time she'll think I'm hard to get.
Of course this is easily solved by giving him a chance to get back to you.
Other than that if he's not getting back to you immediately there's a more than high probability he's trying to follow the rules of not being needy.
You can always follow through quickly with a phone call.
If you do this – please stop it and you will notice guys getting back to you quicker.
We may not figure it out but if the pattern is consistent you'll notice certain guys are not texting you back – because they know it means a phone call.
Now whether he wants the call or not may not have much bearing on your case but the fact remains…if you follow a text or two with a phone call this could be why he isn't answering your messages.
10. He's driving somewhere.
Sometime the reason is simple. It's not safe. He doesn't check his phone every time it buzzes. Especially when he's driving.
Give it some time before you write him off because we all probably spend too much time on our cars.
11. His battery is dead/ phone sucks / or is always lost.
We all know men and women like this.
Their phone is always broken. They always lose it. The batteries are always dead.
Think about "who" you're texting and how responsible he is with certain things in his life.
You may cherish your phone more than him. You may carry extra batteries or have some charger hidden deep in your bag but most men I know will never have a charger hanging from their back pockets.
I also know men who constantly leave their phones and are in a perpetual state of getting back their contact list because they just don't pay attention to the details of their phone life.
12. He is showering or doing something in the bathroom.
Two facts about guys – the good and the gross… We shower. Some longer than others. Mine lasts about a half an hour. And we got to use the bathroom.
Remember it's easy to be away from our phones for a period of time and then go do something else. The next thing we know we haven't checked our phone in a couple of hours.
This could easily be the case.
At this point I think it's best to remember there are many possibilities which have little to do with you on why a guy doesn't instantly text you back.
Last but definitely not least…
13. He is masturbating.
Hey…truthfully I banged out some personal gratification at the strangest times but one more common time would be right before a shower.
And I'm known for taking forever!!!! In the shower and getting ready to go out.
Self-gratification, shower, getting ready, then perhaps going to work and suddenly a typical guy might not get back to you for ten hours. It all adds up.
This does not cover ALL the reasons why a guy will not text you back.
I have a huge list of 49 reasons why a guy will go silent on you, ignore you, or basically not text you back.
Some are his deal.
Some of them are caused by you.
I'd love to have you check them all out and more in my new book:
Why Men Go Silent, Ignore You, Refuse or Won't Share Their Feelings
The Silent Man will Help You Understand Men Like Never Before.
You'll never be left guessing or wondering why he isn't sharing with you, why he isn't opening up to you, why he disappears then comes back again only to leave once more, why he ignores you just when things are going great, and why he seems to randomly and suddenly stop contacting you.

Special Reports
Ian, Chrissy get star treatment in New York
It's a good thing Chrissy Popadics and Ian Johnson are in great physical condition, because their Fiesta Bowl workout didn't end when the football game did Monday night.
Two days after Johnson scored the game-winning 2-point conversion for Boise State University and then proposed to Popadics on national television, the couple was touring New York City, shuttling from one television studio to another and sightseeing with Popadics' uncle as guide.
With a picture of the wedding proposal in USA Today, the couple were instant celebrities — even on the East Coast.
"We're outside of Boise and people are still recognizing who we are,'' said Johnson, who is used to being interviewed, but not with the interest he's seen since BSU won the Fiesta Bowl.
"People are like, 'Hey, aren't you the one who proposed?' ''said Johnson. "A few have also said, 'Hey, thanks for making it so tough on the rest of us guys who want to propose this year.'''
Both have pages on MySpace, the online meeting place, where well-wishers are posting congratulations.
Johnson and Popadics took a commercial flight from Phoenix to New York City late Tuesday night with Max Corbett, a spokesman for BSU, and began a tour of the television stations at the crack of dawn Wednesday. They appeared on "Good Morning America," did an interview with ABC radio, and then they were interviewed at the CNN studios. They had planned to appear on the "Today show," but scheduling didn't work out.
The Associated Press took a picture of them near Battery Park with the Statue of Liberty in the background, Corbett said Wednesday afternoon by phone from a Manhattan shopping mall. He and Johnson were waiting for Popadics to finish browsing in a Victoria's Secret store.
Johnson's winning score Monday night came on a trick play called the Statue of Liberty.
Boise State officials checked with the NCAA in advance to make sure that having the couple's trip financed by broadcasters was permissible under NCAA rules.
The trip was Johnson's first to New York City. Popadics, who grew up in Pompton Plains, N.J., said she enjoyed showing him around. Popadics' family joined the couple before the "Good Morning America" show.
Johnson wore a No. 41 BSU jersey for his TV appearances and said he gave Popadics some pointers on how to handle the attention.
"I tell her it's not a huge deal. Talk to people as if they're your friends and tell them what you want everybody to know,'' he said. "It's honestly not a big deal.''
Even Corbett, a media-relations veteran, was taken aback by all the cameras. Popadics, a cheerleader whose role with the team has been relatively low-key until now, said she was taking it in stride.
"It hasn't even hit me yet. I can't take it all in at the moment,'' she said. "I'm just so still trying to comprehend the fact that I'm engaged and in New York City.''
Having her hair and makeup done and appearing on television was "awesome," she said. "I felt like a celebrity."
Johnson's proposal Monday night came soon after the winning play. He got down on one knee to ask the question as television cameras rolled. The couple said Wednesday that they are waiting to talk to both families — who have met several times — before making final wedding plans. Popadics hopes to wed in July.
She doesn't want the wedding to happen too close to next fall's football season, and she doesn't want to wait until after.
"I don't want to be engaged more than eight months,'' she said. "It doesn't take as long as people think to plan a wedding.''Johnson said he hoped for a beach wedding in California. The couple met on the beach in Hawaii when the BSU team traveled there for a game.
Popadics, 21, and Johnson, 20, are both likely to graduate in a year and a half.
"If our parents support us being married being in school, we'll do it,'' said Johnson. "If they want us to wait, that will weigh in our decision on whether we'll wait.''
Popadics had heard hints that a marriage proposal was on the way, but she didn't expect it at the Fiesta Bowl, because she knew Johnson couldn't carry a ring with him on the field.
"I didn't even think about the fact that he could propose without a ring,'' she said Wednesday.
The diamond ring came later.
The couple — who have been dating for about 16 months — planned to fly today to Johnson's hometown of San Dimas, Calif., for the rest of BSU's winter break.
Which side of the country will the couple eventually choose? Johnson said it doesn't matter.
"We're the type of couple that it doesn't matter where we go, we just want to be together,'' he said. "Wherever life takes us, we are willing to try.''

Panorama NYC
Chanel Robinson
Found a photo I actually liked on Remezcla from Panorama so I decided to do an impromptu post to let you all know my outfit details. Found this dress from & Other Stories just a few days before the festival. It's normally $198 and I got it for 70% off. Such a steal! I was going back and forth between whether I wanted to wear something bold and crazy to Panorama or just keep it simple and New York chic. Wandered around Soho for a little after work one day and wasn't having any luck until I came across this dress. I was so excited because I'm always looking for an excuse to pair my rhinestone choker from H&M with my statement necklace from Simply Chic and this dress was perfect. Dressed it down with my white TopShop sneakers, leather H&M cross body bag, and then added some color with my pink cat eye MinkPink sunnies.

A highly respected New Zealand artist, Judy Darragh is known for her brightly coloured sculptural collections of found objects, recycled items, industrial materials and much more. Since the early 1990s, she has been identified with large ambitious works which alter public spaces to glorious effect.
Limbo is a collection of seven large metallic shapes accented with fluorescent paint. Hanging from the kauri canopy of our North Atrium, they scatter light like a chandelier or mirror ball, while the forms themselves resemble meteors or space matter.
Referencing Judy Darragh's interest in science-fiction and domestic life – and how the two interact – Limbo's metal foil construction suggests every-day kitchen tin foil, while its shapes represent the early days of space exploration. Through this work Judy Darragh shows us how what's familiar and commonplace can shift into the unknown, far-reaching zones of the universe.

Traditions of monasticism, eremitism and asceticism exist in many cultures and traditions. In examining whether Monasticism is relevant to a Modern world, this practice-based project proposes that, through reconsidering the definition of prayer, moments of error can reveal a sense of humanity, surprise and an unconscious intentionality of the mind (Pallasmaa, p. 50, 2009).

NZ Art Show Entry & Studio Installation
Based on the Oriental Bay Concrete Terraces in Wellington, New Zealand, CONCRETE TERRACES is an exploration of form, colour and painterly qualities. With technical challenges of verticality, while maintaining translucency, Shiloh engaged in new mediums, glazes and bleed codes to achieve a wall installation, where perspectives change based on the viewers angle of view. Individual terrace blocks disobey traditional rules of perspective, appearing slightly off-canter, unconventional, quaint and bizarre. As blocks overlap, translucency builds, constructing new colours and levels of opacity.
Shiloh reproduced this studio installation on a piece of acrylic, spanning 2m across and 1m high. The work was accepted and displayed at the NZ Art Show in Wellington, New Zealand in 2012.

original artwork by SHILOH DOBIE
Tell a story; truth or a lie. Explorations begin with a doodle on paper translated onto the wall with ballpoint pen. Imposing rules for production, each drawing was copied from the one directly preceding. Thirteen drawings in total weaved their way around a white Studio wall, each taking 4-5 hours and changing ever so slightly with each reproduction. At the end of the wall, the subsequent image was produced from memory as it weaved around the other side and back the way it came.
Investigating moments of variation within a mechanical reproduction process, Whispers is an immersive and overwhelming installation piece, evoking a sense of labour, time and human error. Tools and materials become animated, revealing an energy, vitality and a life of their own through self-imposed production restraints where, arguably, artist becomes as much tool for production as objects are.

Snoop Dogg Infiltrates the Dragon Ball Fanbase through Social
(On side project which made me geek — literally.)
Creating god-like engagement
The power of communication is fascinating, especially when it comes to making viral memes that resonate across multiple fanbases on social media platforms. Below, I'll document the journey I took in the development of the social media graphic which was re-tweeted by one of my legends Snoop Dogg!
The idea
While scrolling through Instagram one day, I came across a meme that referenced that a Dragonball Super (Japanese anime show) character named Beerus looked similar to Snoop Dogg. I was truly excited, since I probably have much of the Long Beach legend's music on my iPhone / I'm diehard in getting a potential Disney's Aladdin movie to cast Snoop Dogg as Jafar.
gods of different universes, united
Off the bat, the two are gods. Snoop Dogg is a legendary rap god, while Beerus is a God of Destruction in his universe. Even on quirky characteristics alone, Beerus has a diehard obsession with Earth's food while Snoop has a diehard obsession with... well, you already know. But where that reference began, another amazing highlight clicked... Their all-powerful friend / sidekick.
Both characters also are strong advocates of the god's passion, the euphoria of eating food and enjoying herbal delights. But then a suddenly massive idea clicked when I realized that these two side-kick characters shared one major thing in common — their names Wiz Khalifa and Whis the Angel.
Suddenly realizing that I went directly into Photoshop, crafting a photo combining these two characters into one social media graphic of a masterpiece. In a flow state, I developed copy that combined the best of both universes, stating that Lord Snoop (Lord Beerus) and Whis Khalifa (Wiz Khalifa) we're going to Hakai (Japanese for destroy) the rap game. The inclusion of Hakai was perfect, as it is one scene which was highly hyped up and repeated by fans on YouTube. (I admit, I replayed this scene multiple times.) The emoji was bonus points, as it looks like the hakai move Beerus uses.
As I went to upload to Instagram and Twitter, I thought why not get Snoop and Wiz Khalifa involved. Snoop already provides some of the most hilarious content on both platforms daily being a major influencer, similar to how DJ Khaled controls Snapchat with his daily life. Moments after uploading, I received a retweet and Instagram "re-gram" from @SnoopDogg, with my phone's notification going off the charts with retweets, comments and likes.
The engagement of people was the best part, as it was pretty amazing to watch people who love both Snoop and Dragonball come together to give their opinion on the meme.
Twitter post: 526 retweets / 945 likes / 25 comments.
Instagram post: 40.2k likes / over 700 comments.
The most fulfilling aspect was just combining two different worlds of fans into one, exciting the niche of those whole like both and potentially getting fans of either just Snoop or Dragonball Super to come together. Even more exciting was that I received a few e-mails asking me about design services. The bigger takeaway is the power of combining ideas and reaching out to get them spread. What more can be created to create mass appeal and reach like this one?

Thoughts On Nintendo Stopping NES Classic Edition
I was lucky enough that I got an NES Classic Edition on launch day…… actually, that is not true. As soon as these were announced last year, I was in. I checked Amazon every day and then in July, they appeared so I pre-ordered one right away. I knew that Nintendo would screw this up and I wanted to make sure that I pre-ordered in as far advance as possible. Nintendo could not have screwed the NES Classic Edition up anymore, but in all honesty, I am not surprised. I love Nintendo, grew up with an NES and had every console in between as well as the Switch, but they make just horrible anti-consumer decisions that make it hard to stay in love with them. Nintendo out of all the consoles has the worst fanboys, but there is no way anyone can justify the handling of the NES Classic Edition.
If I were a big time Nintendo shareholder I would be asking some serious questions right now. Pat The NES Punk did a great video about it and estimated that Nintendo could have made us much as a quarter of a billion in profit over a three year period with this, but instead of embracing the consumer demands they are just flat out ignoring it. Is there a game company that punishes or ignores their fans as much as Nintendo?
My feelings on this are that Nintendo has canned the NES Classic Edition because they want to sell you those same games on the Nintendo Switch for five bucks a pop and that is hard to justify when you have a whole bunch of them on a physical device for much less. Also, I would not be surprised if the hacking of it had something to do with it. I just find this one of the most bizarre decisions Nintendo could make! They are just throwing money away by not meeting the public demand. My only hope is that Nintendo is working on a SNES Classic Edition or even a new NES Classic Edition with a store where you can buy games or something like that, but to completely just throw this away is crazy!

The Ultimate Towel Test – Separating Fact From Fiction
According to a recent Doctor Oz poll, there is not a lot of consensus on how long you should use a towel before washing it. Some (16 percent) say they wash their towels daily, while most people say they do so less often, with 33 percent washing their towels two or three times per week, 40 percent once a week, and 11 percent only every two weeks or less frequently. Dr. Oz teamed up with NSF International's Applied Research Center to find out how germy your towels are and how often to replace them with clean towels. Read more

Hand painted porcelain expresses the emotional connection between the artist and subject. This lovely set of 5 hand painted cups & saucers shows the artist's passion and understanding of beautiful floral arrangements and presentation. Executed in a small home-studio environment, dated 1912, by A. (Alice) Basedow. I have other lovely pieces executed by this artist in my store. They are painted on stamped KPM white-ware blanks, circa 1904-1927.
Each cup & saucer set represents a different floral motif which forms a wide border around each piece. The saucers are enhanced with a gold band, while the cups have gold handles and rim. The five floral motifs consist of Wild Roses in vivid pink with deep golden centers and white stamens; White Daisies with deep golden centers; Pansies in variegated shades of soft yellow and purple, Wild Violets in shaded purple with white stamens and Forget-Me-Not in striking shades of deep to lighter blue. All of the different floral are nestled in foliage of shaded greens, browns and blue-green. The saucers measure 5 3/4" across with four both signed and dated, the fifth is neither. The cups measure 3" across the top and 2 1/8" in height, none are signed or dated, but are definitely from the same set and artist. I have a sixth cup with Morning Glory Blossoms, no saucer, which I will also include with the set. There are no cracks, chips or repairs; near mint.

Mr Reasonable wrote:I like to eat meat, and I like women, so that symbol is alright with me.
Okay, that's your reasonable standard. But my reasonable standard [here and now] is that any particular individual's reasonable standard is rooted existentially in the life that he or she lives.
In other words, other individuals profess reasonable standards that revolve around not eating meat; and there are other men who profess to liking men sexually, romantically. Rather than women.
So, is there a reasonable standard -- the reasonable standard -- that philosophers are able to ascribe to all rational and virtuous human beings?
Or, instead, are value judgments of this sort embedded and embodied more in "existential contraptions"?
Is your "I" here in sync with the man that you really are [or were always meant to be] or is it more the result of a particular sequence of experiences in a particular life out in a particular world that merely predisposed you to think and to feel and to behave as you do now?

Recent car accident
Five days ago I sustained back injury after being involved in a car accident. I was stopped in traffic on the highway and the car behind me slammed into the back end of my vehicle. I was told by the other driver, that she hit me at 50-60kph.
I have since been experiencing a burning aching feeling in my upper-mid back and an ache in my lower lumbar. Pain seems much worse on the right side. I've also noticed other symptoms like calf twitching (right side only), extreme fatigue, urinary frequency, a foggy-like mental status, cracking in various bones in my back, neck and shoulders with movement; grinding is felt in my hips when laying flat on my back and lifting both legs and lowering them to the flat position.
I cannot walk too far without feeling completely pooped out, and I cannot sit for too long without too much pressure felt in my lumbar.
I do get some relief from the lumbar pain when laying flat with my knees bent up. I do not get any relief from the burning ache felt in my mid back. Neck feels strained with movement to the right/left.
In addition, the day I had the accident I received 40 botox injections around my head/neck for chronic migraines, which continue to be a daily issue since my accident. I had a physical exam the following day and the physician told me I had strained my neck, thoracic, and lumbar back. Based on the above symptoms should I be asking for further tests? Should I be concerned that the botox I received is masking pain that should be felt from a classic whiplash injury?
These are all difficult questions to answer, Andrea.
A good motor repair specialist will be able to give you an idea of just how fast the other motorist was traveling from the damage to your car. I'd get it in writing, perhaps from two or three different specialist repair shops. She may have been traveling at twice that speed. Don't sign any documents off until you've seen your attorney.
The fact of the matter is that accidents like this sometimes leave their mark on you for the rest of your life. I'm not being negative, but let's face the honest facts. This could end up costing you a fortune in health care costs. The insurance companies of course will always play it down.
Keep a diary, and update it every day.
Incidentally a double leg raise is a plain bad exercise; don't do it. And migraines often come from the jaw joint; any clicking, popping or tenderness just in front of the ear?
If you had immediate severe pain, and suspect a fracture, xrays right now are important.
More likely, your physician is right and you've had quite severe sprained ligaments, and strained muscles.
If you start having pain radiating down a limb, or towards your breastbone along a rib, then I'd see a chiropractor right away.
Otherwise, be kind to yourself for a week; do some gentle exercises, take some walks, and avoid housework. Sit less if it's painful.
And then make an honest evaluation; have you been injured, are you getting better, and do you need treatment?
Don't sign anything off for at least six months; you will be pressured to sign sooner.
Good luck, I feel for you when you are minding your own business and are injured because someone was stupid.
I hope this contributes.

Interesting challenges of the day
1. Mr S is a 76 year old man with neck pain of some 9 months duration. Luckily, most of the discomfort is upper cervical which is only rarely arthritic; his lower cervical spine is a degenerative mess that I've left alone. After seven treatments his pain and stiffness is 50 percent better, and he's happy in the circumstances. He can sleep through the night now and that makes a huge difference.
2. Mr P is 32 year old man with very severe lower back pain radiating to the big toe which is 30 percent numb. He had an episode three weeks ago, took anti inflammatories and was soon better as is typical of the medial disc herniation. But before it healed, after a trivia it came roaring back, much worse. The characteristic crossed sign was evident; sitting in a chair, straightening the right leg provoked severe left back pain and tingling in the leg. He's doing well.
3. Severe lower back pain is scary; just ask Mrs P. Just watching her get out of the car I she was in trouble; she had a slipped disc at L4 making her lean towards the opposite side; luckily she had no pain in the leg. Despite family pressure that this was far too severe for a chiropractor, she persevered. Within five days she was standing upright, and after two weeks almost painfree.
Despite a hectic job, she wisely took my advice and stayed home for what I call exercising bed rest.
4. Mr S has had lower back, groin and back of thigh and calf pain for fourth months.
He has a pincer deformity in the hip causing the stabs in the groin, and a degenerative facet causing the sciatica. Both are responding well to chiropractic and he's well pleased; sixty five percent better after three treatments.
5. Mr T is a wise man; he's taken a warning TIA seriously and has lost 15 pounds, and has at least as much again to lose. A change to a low starch diet and half hour daily walk has made the difference; but the walking is making his foot and back miserable. The expensive orthotic is hopeless; luckily his hips and back are fine, but he needs a simple heel lift.
6. I too have had serious lower back issues, luckily fixed by my own chiropractor; so I too have to do my exercises, take care when lifting supers full of honey, gardening and using the chainsaw. Regaining the function of your spine is just as important as the pain.
7. My own granddaughter, only 7 is hypermobile giving her pelvic, knee and ankle issues. Xrays show a mildly dysplastic hip. Years ago we would have called it growing pains. She too regularly needs chiropractic care and luckily responds well. Increased range of motion is more difficult than too stiff in my opinion. Our care is for kids too.
8. This 65 year old lady is a serious gardener; every day she is bending, lifting and digging for 2 to 3 hours a day. It regularly catches her in the sacroiliac joint, so she has a treatment once a month that sorts it out. She does her lower back exercises faithfully.
9. This 88 year old lady is an inspiration; every day she is busy in the community. With a nasty scoliosis she manages very well with a chiropractic adjustment every six weeks and exercises faithfully done.
10. Mr X is a 71 year old retired man who wants to continue with maintenance care every six to eight weeks; he had suffered from two years of lower back pain when he first came a year ago. He has no discomfort now after 8 chiropractic treatments, but is aware that danger lurks.
11. Mrs C has been having severe headaches, and taking a lot of analgesics. It's a non complicated upper cervical facet syndrome, and she's doing well.
12. Mr D is a 38 old year man with chronic shoulder pain after a rotator cuff tear playing cricket. It responded well to treatment, but he knows he must do his exercises every day; for two years he couldn't sleep on that shoulder.
13. Mr D, a 71 year old man, has a severe ache in the shoulder and midback since working above his head. Trapped nerve tests are negative but he has advanced degenerative joints of Luschka; after just two treatments he is 50 percent better. Can we reach 90?
And so the day goes; chiropractors shouldn't be treating the elderly most medical sites state but that's so much bunkum.
Have a problem that's not getting better? Looking for a different slant on your pain? Want to pose a question?

Greetings, Dr B.
You helped me quite some time back with a soothing and professional response which turned out to be exactly correct. I now consult a local chiropractor. You write a superb newsletter, too.
Your own unresolved problem. Pose a question
Knowing that up to 70% of the time the correct diagnosis is made with no examination, no special tests, no xrays, but just from the history, there's a fair chance I can add some insight to your unresolved problem. But at least 30% of the time, I may be quite wrong! Give plenty of detail if you want a sensible reply.
You visited this chiropractic help site no doubt because you have a problem that is not resolving and want to know more about what chiropractors do.
The quickest and most interesting way is to read one of my ebooks of anecdotes. Described by a reader as gems, both funny and healthful, from the life and work of a chiropractor, you'll love them. Priced right at $2.99, though Kindle fiddles the price without telling me.

Reverend Jane Burnette officiates weddings in the Triad (Greensboro, High Point, Winston-Salem) area of North Carolina
What a wonderful day you're anticipating! You've met the person you want to spend the rest of your life with and you're happily planning your marriage and your future.
Your Wedding Ceremony is the first instant of your life together as husband and wife and one of the most memorable days of your life. You and your beloved are the only ones that know what sentiments thrill your hearts and empower you. It is those sentiments that she wants to express to you as you stand hand in hand and heart to heart before her on your wedding day. As your wedding officiant, Jane furnishes you with resources to create your own wedding ceremony that is a reflection of your love and commitment to each other. Your wedding ceremony will be so much more meaningful to you if you're hearing the words of your heart being spoken rather than phrases that have no emotional meaning to you. Jane encourages you to set your own tone by including text, people and rituals that are meaningful to you.
Interfaith Ceremonies.............You may come from two different faiths and want traditions from both faiths represented in your wedding ceremony. You may not want a lot of religious ritual but want a spiritual tone. Or, you may want a secular ceremony without reference to any religion.
Remarriage Ceremonies...............Perhaps this is not your first marriage and maybe there are children you would like to include in your wedding ceremony.
There are infinite possibilities as to how your ceremony could go and you are only limited by your tastes and your desires, but it will be much more meaningful to you if your ceremony is a reflection of your love and commitment to each other.
Review from a happy couple:
"Thank you also for your wonderful service. You played such an
important part in our wedding celebration and everyone has
said you did an excellent job. Thank you! Thank you!"

Severely eroded and deforested, Ethiopia's land is increasingly turning to desert, due to the country's high population growth, unsustainable land use, and lack of land ownership. Featuring footage from my trip to Ethiopia last year, this video looks at the efforts of two projects to combat these devastating trends by meeting the country's complex challenges with integrated solutions.
Ethiopia's population is estimated at 85 million. Since 1900, the country has grown by nearly 74 million people, and the United Nations predicts this rapid growth will continue, reaching nearly 120 million people by 2025.
"Family planning is very crucial" to sustainable development, said Gebrehiwot Hailu of the Relief Society of Tigray (REST), located in the northern region of Tigray. "If the family has more children he can't feed them properly, he can't send the children to school, because there is a food gap in the household." REST uses a watershed planning model jointly developed by the community, health workers, and government agencies.
Realizing there is no silver bullet to development, projects like REST integrate population, health, and environment (PHE) programs to engage these challenges from all angles.
The Ethio Wetlands and Natural Resource Association (EWNRA), located in Ethiopia's Wichi watershed, uses a combination of techniques to restore the watershed, create alternative livelihoods, strengthen health systems, and improve reproductive health.
"Through this integrated watershed intervention, the wetland is regaining its natural situation," Shewaye Deribe of EWNRA told me. "The communities with their own bylaws, with their own watershed committee, with their own organization are protecting these remaining forest patches."

How do I enter multiple authors?
Author names should be separated by a semi-colon, like so: Brian W. Kernighan; Dennis M. Ritchie. Don't include the word "and" or anything similar, even if you have 20 authors. If you have the auto-format option checked, then the last name will automatically be shown first for each author.
Other properties which allow multiple values, like "genre" and "keywords", are entered in the same way, with a semi-colon (;) separating each value.

Midtown condos, restaurant space to rise after 8-year wait
It all started with a conversation between pals Julie Young and Linda Clifford as they were driving to brunch in Napa nine years ago.
Young was telling Clifford she wanted to build a modest, mixed-use project in midtown Sacramento – a home for her family above a retail operation. Clifford was intrigued. As Young recalled it, Clifford said, "Build another floor and I'm in. Let's do it together."
Now, eight years after buying their parcel at 1813 Capitol Ave., the partners have broken ground on what will be a five-unit condo complex with four residences above a first-floor restaurant space.
What took so long? Young, who has a wry sense of humor, responded: "I don't know if you heard, but we had this thing called a recession."
Funding from First Northern Bank came through at the end of last year. Construction plans were updated. Now, work is underway on the building's foundation and an elevator pit.
These will be upscale living quarters, two- and three-bedroom units with top-of-the-line fixtures, in the heart of the city's hot Handle District, right next to The Press bistro and a few doors down from Zocalo.
Clifford and Young – both execs in the construction industry – are each taking one of the residential units. In addition, an investor is in escrow to buy the ground-floor space and is in talks with two "established restaurateurs" about leasing it, Young says.
The commercial space is set to be completed by August and the residential units – which range from 1,400 to 1,900 square feet and will likely be priced between $800,000 and $1 million – should be ready for occupancy next February.
For Young, the progress is vindication.
"There was plenty of eye-rolling," she said of reaction from friends and associates to the nearly decadelong effort. "Anytime you talk about something for eight years, you can get to the point where you are the only one believing in it."
The parking shuffle
Also just getting under construction in midtown: a four-level garage at 28th and S streets. But this is more than just a garage. It's the first big step toward construction of the new site for the Sacramento Natural Foods Co-op.
When the garage is completed in August, it will replace the parking lot at the corner of 28th and R streets that's now being used by employees of the county Department of Human Assistance. That will allow work to begin on the new 26,000-square-foot co-op building.
The store's projected opening date, twice delayed, is now next April, said co-op general manager Paul Cultrera. He's looking forward to having a larger store, with more space for produce, meats, deli services and, especially, parking.
Is Cultrera worried about competition from Whole Foods, which has announced plans for a 40,000-square-foot store on the north side of L Street between 20th and 21st streets?
"Worried? No," he said. "Concerned? Yes, you have to be."
But, he added, Whole Foods' decision to go into midtown is "a sign they must think there's a hell of a market here."
One big enough for both natural foods companies to thrive.
Lifetime partners
Lucy Eidam Crocker got some notable recognition last week: a lifetime achievement award from the Sacramento Public Relations Association, plus a sweet intro at the awards banquet from her husband and business partner Scot Crocker.
Scot talked about their long friendship that eventually became a "merger" – of their PR businesses and otherwise.
Lucy, co-owner of Crocker & Crocker, was gushing later about Scot's speech. "He said he loved me. I've never had anybody introduce me ... that way," she said.
Now that she's received this "lifetime" award at the youthful age of 50, she's got one question: "Can I retire now?"

Are organisations today losing their moral fibre?
Posted by: Reena Jamnadas
The resignation of a top executive at the world's most powerful investment bank, Goldman Sachs, hit headlines across every mainstream newspaper last week. Greg Smith said he quit the Wall Street giant due to a collapse of its "moral fibre". He described how leadership used to be about ideas, setting an example and doing the right thing. But now, all that is left of the culture is a rigorous focus on money-making, even if adverse to the best interests of their clients and customers.
The pressure is exacerbated by this issue for the government to focus on how to tighten regulations and ensure the investment banking industries of the City and Wall Street are focused appropriately on their customers and treating them fairly.
However, is the real issue here about the urgent need for good leadership?
Business researchers, Naumann and Bennett, described leaders as being 'climate engineers'; what they convey through their personality, values, beliefs, preferences, and behaviours leaves an imprint on the character of those they lead. Events such as those seen at Goldman Sachs speak not only of the need for effective leadership, but more so, the need for effective and wise leadership where leaders are guided by doing what is right.
At Capp, we have interviewed dozens of top executive leaders from blue-chip companies such as Microsoft, Sony, and O2 that were nominated as being "wise" in their organisations. Here are some of the characteristics that these wise leaders demonstrated:
Characteristics of Wise Leaders in Blue-Chip Companies
- Guided by a strong ethical code: No matter how tough the decision, wise leaders are always guided by 'doing the right thing' and moreover, they have the integrity and courage to do so. They are by no means evangelical about their ethics, but a strong moral fibre guides their outlook on their vision, strategy and approach which earns them respect in the eyes of their followers.
- Optimise positive outcomes: Despite their complex environments and pressures, wise leaders ensure that they make decisions that optimise outcomes for themselves, their stakeholders, and external circumstances. If these three are not in alignment, they are likely to think twice before committing to any action in order to avoid catastrophe.
- Strong judgement: Wise leaders have an acute sense of judgement. They combine tacit knowledge with experience and insight to make strategic judgements and act accordingly.
- Leave a legacy: Creating a powerful, long-lasting and positive impact is greatly important to wise leaders, no matter how small the task. Wise leaders create a legacy for their organisations through their vision and decisions that they make, relationships with internal and external stakeholders, and the way that they solve complex problems.
- Act with purpose: Wise leaders have a deep sense of purpose that underlies everything that they do. For wise leaders, this purpose is related to contributing towards the greater good such as enabling their customers/clients to have a greater quality of life, or realising the best of people across their organisation.
- Humility: Wise leaders are not ego-centric, but neither are they meek or mild. Often their characters are robust and consistent, but wise leaders always see their contributions as part of a bigger picture. They are always willing to learn from others, accept and learn from their mistakes, and give others credit where credit is due.
- High self-awareness: A strong awareness of their strengths and weaknesses enables these wise leaders to lead where they need to, and work alongside others to compensate for their weaknesses. Wise leaders are acutely aware of the implications of their behaviour on others, their organisation, and their external environments which enables them to take multiple perspectives.
- Comfortable with managing uncertainty : Especially in today's climate of financial pressure, global competition, governmental initiatives, and an evolving economic and ethical climate, wise leaders recognise and effectively manage uncertainty and ambiguity. They are centred in their approach and recognise the need to remain focused no matter what the challenge.
How can we cultivate wise leadership?
As leaders, how can we develop these characteristics in ourselves? A good starting place would be to ask yourself the following questions:
1. How would you describe your values and ethics? Take time out yourself and with your team to answer this question. Ask yourself how these values and ethics can be embedded in the ways that you work together and with your customers/clients.
2. What do you pay attention to when making complex decisions? Pay attention to the holistic picture and consider the consequences of decisions on yourself, your stakeholders and external circumstances. Use your networks to develop relationships with other people that can offer you multiple perspectives.
3. What do you want to be known for? Ask others for feedback on the legacy that you have left so far in your organisation. Are things heading in the right direction? Consider your purpose and assess what opportunities you have to create a powerful legacy through your vision, strategy, relationships with others, and contributions to your organisation.
4. What are your strengths and weaknesses? Don't underestimate the power of your strengths. Explore what strengths you can use to help you achieve your goals through your role. Do you have people around you that could help compensate for your weaknesses? To help use your self-awareness, draw a network map and consider how your actions could impact positively or negatively on others.
5. How do you feel about uncertainty? Reflect on which strengths have helped you to remain centred in uncertain or ambiguous situations in the past, and what decisions you can make in the here and now that will help safeguard your future.
So, developing these characteristics of wise leaders may not be peculiar to just what Goldman Sachs need, but what every organisation is calling out for in today's complex and challenging environments.

One Response to Are organisations today losing their moral fibre?
Yes, they are loosing their moral obligations, and it is all because of greed. THe objective of a business is to serve its customers. This objective has been put on the back shelve if it exists at all. The order of business was Customers, Employees and then the business would take care of itself. Now businesses are more concerned about keeping their stockholders.
Customers have become expendable along with employees. If we could only get the public to stop supporting those companies that hurt the American public. Lower prices creates demand, creats more jobs, creats more employees, creats more profits, creats a much better healthier productive environment.
Companies should return to, and practice, the basic Virtues. Codes of ethics, Pride Dignity Respect, work as a team, not just capitalize on strengths but find and strengthen weaknesses and not just get rid of them. Getting rid of weaknesses only makes the company weaker and not stronger. And usually this is due to poor leadership within the company. Companies have too many Bosses and not enough Leaders. Bosses are useless and worthless. They only get in the way of growth and progress of the team. Managements need to practice Leadership and not just make their resume look good or paper their walls with diploma. What sense is learning anything if you cannot apply what you have learned? Let's get back to basice and share the blame, then we can share the fruits of our labors together.

Remove rust from your swimming pool by shocking the water and vacuuming the precipitated rust. The required supplies are a water testing kit, shock treatment packets, chelating chemicals and a pool vacuum. Although the time required varies with the size of the pool and the amount of rust it contains, most treatments take about a day.
- Test the water
Use the water testing kit to verify that iron is the source of the problem. Test the pool's chlorine level as well.
- Shock the pool
Add shock chemicals to the pool. The appropriate amount depends on the size of the pool, its chlorine level and the recommendations of the pool manufacturer.
- Inspect and vacuum the pool
Inspect the pool several hours after shocking. When the floor is covered in rust particles, vacuum it.
- Retest the water
Retest the water and shock the pool again if necessary. Repeat the cycle of testing, shocking and vacuuming until the water is clear and the pool floor is clean.
- Add chelating agents
Prevent rusty water with regular doses of chelating agents. These chemicals bind microscopic iron and copper particles into bundles easily removed by your pool's filtering system. Regular filter cleaning maximizes the benefits of chelating agents and keeps your pool water rust-free.

Humidity for Houseplants – How To Increase Humidity for Your Houseplants
When bring new plants into your home it's important to consider the humidity. Plants grow in greenhouses are going to be use to a much different environment than your home. This is especially true in the winter when running a furnace or similar can really dry out the air. Learning the proper humidity for your indoor plants can greatly increase their lifespan and motivate them to thrive.
One of the worst times for low humidity is during winter months when the air is dryer. As mentioned above, a furnace is also large culprit as it pushes our warm, dry air that is no ideal for a plant. A good first step is to make sure that your plant is not directly in the path of any heating vents.
Humidity for Houseplants
Many plants are different, but in general houseplants like humidity levels between 40 and 60 percent. Some require more, and other less, so take some time to learn about your specific plants needs.
Most of us don't have the means to measure the exact humidity, so look out for the following symptoms:
- Browning leaves
- Wilting plant
- Flowers shrivel before fully opening
You might recognize some of these as symptoms of other problems (under/over watering, lighting, etc.) so take care to rule out other issues before jumping to humidity being the problem.
How To Increase The Humidity
Raising the humidity of your plants is not a difficult task, and there a couple of popular ways that most gardeners go about doing so.
An easy, but temporary way of raising the humidity is misting plants. Spraying your plants with a little bit of water is an excellent way to keep them moist and the relative humidity up. In fact, some plants actually thrive when misted frequently. Generally though, giving your plants a quick mist in the morning is ample.
Placing your plants into small groups can also help keep their humidity levels up. By having several plants close together they will naturally help nearby plants through transpiration. This works for plants with moderate humidity needs.
Another popular way to increase the humidity is with a pebble tray. A pebble tray is exactly as it sounds; a small tray of pebbles. The pebbles prevent the roots from getting waterlogged, and allow the water to naturally evaporate. As the water evaporates, it saturates the air around the plant and increase the humidity.
A Humidifier
A standard room humidifier is also a good choice if you're not concerned with keeping the humid change local to the plant. This will effect the whole room, and is great for long term use especially in the winter.
Topical Plants
If you're looking to grow tropical plant or other high humidity plants you'll need to take specialized measures. For plants looking for humidity over 70 percent, it's generally quite difficult to keep a room at proper humidity levels for them.
In cases such as this it may be better to investigate growing a small terrarium. A terrarium works perfect for high humidity plants as it aggressively traps in moisture and provides a perfect climate for plants in that category.
Don't Over Humidify
Took much of a good thing can be bad. Took much humidity can also damage you plants. It also can encourage mold to grow on or around your plants, which no one wants!
If you're plant is a room that is naturally humid like a bathroom or kitchen, then you're likely not to need to do anything additional.
Now you're armed with the knowledge of how to handle humidity with your plants you'll be able to grow beautiful plants year round. Remember, humidity issues are most likely to arise in the winter months, so take care to pay special attention to your plants when the temperature drops!
