Darien Fenton's bizarre attack against Sir Peter Leitch has made it to the NZ Herald this morning. Late last night Darien Fenton attempted a pre-emptive apology.
I posted on that three days ago. The Herald is just now catching up with the online outrage against such a shallow and nasty attack against a Kiwi icon.
A short while ago I had a call from Sir Peter Leitch, since I kicked this all off he thought he would have a chat with me. We had a 40 minute conversation through out which I was left with the impression that he is deeply hurt by the comments made by Darien Fenton.
"Mate, am I gutted by her attacks" he said "This week we should all be basking in the joy of the mighty Vodafone Warriors being in the grand final and supporting the All Blacks, and instead she found the time to attack me in a calculated and nasty way".
I asked Sir Peter about her apology and her offer to catch up for a beer. Sir Peter's response was rapid and stern, "Mate, I don't want to speak to her, ever."
"I?have?been hurt?immensely by her, last night I broke down and cried, I just feel stabbed in the back". Sir Peter then went on to outline all the things he has been doing recently for Christchurch and the huge effort and toll that has taken on him. " For her to attack me when I am trying my best for this country, well mate, I'm gutted."
"The worst part in all this is in trying to attack me she has instead attacked 37 hard working, working class franchisees, she is taking the bread from their mouths" he said. "I sold the business 3 and half years ago and she didn't even get that right"
"I though Labour was for the working class, after this I just don't know".
"But the thing that hurts the most is that I feel stabbed in the back. I gave free product and spent all day cooking at David Lange's funeral, another working class hero, and this is what I get?"
We then got to talking about the upcoming weekend, he was worried that his card for Jimmy Cowan celebrating his 50th test won't make it in time, and he needed to ring Graham Henry to wish him luck, the final thing he said before hanging up was "Go the mighty Vodafone Warriors." He is always on message.
Sir Peter Leitch is a kiwi icon. Darien Fenton's attack was despicable. He is terribly hurt by the attack. When I asked him some political questions he refused to answer them, he said "Mate, I don't want to get political, I've never been political, I just want what is best for this great little country."

What can I say about December; a month filled to the brim with events, gatherings and a whole lot of family time. I would like to say that this December was a winter wonderland where we locked ourselves indoors, lit candles and watched movies but to be quite frank December was a mild weathered month. I do love a good warm winter but there is always that part of me which longs for the cozy break filled with coffee, comfy blankets and books to get lost in.
This month my favourites are all about bettering and educating myself. If you haven't read my New Years post I describe how in 2016 I am focusing on me and being a better version of the woman that I am, to better myself through learning & loving.
Taking Care of My Skin
This month I have been devoted to keeping my skin clear and working towards having nicer skin as I age. I have never been one to wash my face at night or put too much thought into taking care of my skin. Lately I have noticed that taking a few minutes before to bed to apply products is actually quite soothing. I am hooked on the brand First Aid Beauty for all of my face product needs. I hope to see a great increase in my skin (not that it was bad before) but I would love to get rid of breakouts on my chin and red scarring from past breakouts.
Comment below if you would like to know more about the First Aid Beauty products and what my full thoughts are on them!
When In Doubt, Put on A Face Mask
This Christmas I have received a grand amount of face masks and I could not be happier! Putting on a face mask and relaxing before bed is one of the best feelings (plus who doesn't love to stare at their skin in the mirror as they remove a mask to investigate what just happened).
My Hobbies
If you have read any of my other blog posts lately you would know that I have grown a fondness for a few new hobbies! I cannot get enough of my calligraphy set, adult colouring book or doing pilates. I have always wanted to start new hobbies and become fluent with something that was at first foreign to me. If it's doing pilates in the AM or cuddling up with a tea and colouring in the PM I get the feeling of accomplishment.
Whiter Teeth Please
Ever since high school I have sought after pearly white teeth. I did a post back in November about using Whitestrips and if you actually do see a change after one use. Well clearly that did not do much because I am still looking for a whiter smile. I have been using the Walmart version of Whitestrips and have almost finished the 7-day treatment. Let's see if using a full treatment does anything for me!
I have always loved listening to audiobooks while getting ready for the day or driving into work but lately I have switched over to Podcasts. Back in 2015 I listened to the Podcast Serial and when I heard that they are starting a new season this month I could not been more thrilled. The Serial podcast is about true stories that develop over a few episodes and season and to be honest, if you haven't given it a chance, here is your sign to start!
Looking back at my favourites I realize that there is more to me then having super white teeth, glowing skin and strong body. I know that these things wont better me as a person but I also know that when I do these things for me and take the time to pamper myself overall I feel better. These things are just vanity and do not matter in the end but why not look good to make yourself feel great!
So here is the part where you come in;
What did you love this month & what do you want to hear more about?!

- Turkish Grand Prix
Petrov laments Schumacher collision
- Race:
- Turkish Grand Prix
- Championship:
- FIA Formula One World Championship
- Drivers:
- Vitaly Petrov
- Teams:
- Renault
Vitaly Petrov said that his collision with Michael Schumacher early in the race prevented him from scoring more points in the Turkish Grand Prix.
Petrov was running in ninth place and clearly quicker than the Mercedes when he tried to pass up the inside in to turn 12 on the second lap. Schumacher turned in to early though, and hit Petrov's right rear tyre, sending the Renault wide and costing him a place. Petrov said that setback was magnified as the race unfolded.
"It was an interesting race, and strategically it was challenging for all the teams," Petrov said. "I think what really affected my position today was the collision with Michael early in the race. He hit my car and then I was stuck behind some slower drivers after the first pit stop. If this had not happened, my race would have been much stronger and I could have pulled away."
Petrov still managed to recover to secure eighth place by passing Sebastien Buemi on the final lap of the race, and said that Renault should be happy with the consistency of the R33 and a double points finish.
"I was pleased to overtake Sebastien at the end, which took me back into eighth. We must be positive, we have both cars in the points and it's another ten points for the team."

Spirit of 77 - a Funky 1970's Tabletop Role-Playing Game
Don't forget to check us out at our website, Twitter and Facebook page for updates and information on where you can get Spirit of 77 once it's available!
Video Part II
Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll... The best parts of a bad decade.
Spirit of 77 is an over-the-top, pedal-to-the-metal, nitro-burning, action adventure role playing game about an alternate history 1977. Richard Nixon has made a deal with aliens, and is still in the White House; renegade rock gods from another galaxy have shared with us the power of Glam; kung-fu bad-asses wander the city streets righting wrongs, and everyone is trying to stick it to The Man.
Spirit of 77 is about recreating all the classic action and adventure TV shows, movies, and comic books of the 1970's. It draws inspiration from movies like Shaft, Smokey and the Bandit, The Warriors, Barbarella, Rocky, and Enter the Dragon; TV shows like The Dukes of Hazzard, The Six Million Dollar Man, The Rockford Files, and Charlie's Angels; and music like James Brown, KISS, David Bowie, Jerry Reed, and Isaac Hayes.
Powered by the Apocalypse
Spirit of 77 uses the Apocalypse World engine created by D. Vincent Baker, like a classic hot-rod we've made a number of modifications to amp up the horsepower. The basic mechanics consist of rolling two six sided dice adding a modifier and then narrating the success or failure.
Easy to pick up for novice role players, and with plenty of options for the experienced, the rules of Spirit of 77 are geared towards encouraging over-the-top, pedal-to-the-metal action. You know the type: leaping cars, swinging from rooftops, blowing up tanker trucks, and punching bigfoot right in his hairy face.
Story, Role, and Buzz
Characters in Spirit of 77 are made up of three basic components: Story, Role, and Buzz.
- Your Story describes where you're from. It's the source of your abilities. Stories can include things like being a War Vet, a Former Badge, or having a touch of the Glam.
- Your Role describes what you do. It covers how you interact with the world around you. Roles include things like hard hitting Tough Guys, funky Rockers, and fast driving Good Old Boys.
- Your Buzz describes your motivation. It's why you're out fighting the good fight. Buzz includes things like seeking Vengeance, looking for Love, or just being out for the Thrills
This system lets you describe nearly every classic character from 70's cinema and TV, such as:
- Billy Jack is a Tough Guy and Former Vet, looking for Peace of Mind.
- Foxy Brown is a Vigilante who's One Bad Mother, looking for Payback.
- The Baseball Furies are Boppers with Glam, looking for Respect.
- Jim Rockford is a Sleuth who's an Ex-Con, looking for Cold, Hard Cash.
- The Bandit is a Good Old Boy with Humble Beginnings, looking for Fame and Glory.

What kind of Kickstarter project would this be without funky stretch goals?
We've got a ton of goals planned, and we're also open to suggestions! Post them in the comments section.
Double Features will consist of a package containing two pre-made adventures along with a couple of new roles or stories to go with them.
The first double feature will tentatively consist of Women's Prison of the Apes and Disco Ambulance, but that is subject to change.
Extra Double Feature PDFs will be available as an Add-on for $5.
We will be producing custom Spirit of 77 custom "Casino like" dice (translucent red) with our logo on one side. Use them for playing Spirit of 77, craps, or add a little funk to your family game night.
One pair of dice will be added to each One Bad Mother(and higher) Pledge. Extra dice will be available as an add-on for $7 per pair.
Our second Double feature adventure package will tentatively include Beast: Bound and Down and Jukebox Villains.
Extra Double Feature PDFs will be available as an Add-on for $5.
Our next stretch goal is a big one, and it's going to allow us to absolutely fill the books with awesome high quality artwork.
Everyone will receive a full set of reference cards as a PDF, One Bad Mother and higher pledge levels will receive a printed set of cards.
At $40,000 we will be expanding our art budget to really fill both books with excellent high quality art. This will allow us to commission a new full color cover for the expansion (instead of reusing existing art) and create more black and white interior art for both books.
People have asked for it and we're going to deliver. Conversion documents for Fate, and Savage Worlds. These documents will be provided at a date after the launch of the game, and will be available to the public for no cost.
Most of our items will be drop-shipped directly from the printer. Drop shipping allows us to offer the most affordable shipping options to as many backers as possible. The only draw back to drop shipping is that not everything will arrive simultaneously.
Digital items will be delivered via Drive Through RPG.
Post Kickstarter fullfilment will be processed via Backerkit.
Bob and Dave are two knuckleheads in Southern California with a lifelong affliction of writing stuff and arguing about role-playing games. They've written stuff for White Wolf, Marvel Super Heroes and The Mittani.com and have contributed to Blizzard Entertainment products. In his spare time, Dave makes beer. But Bob won't drink it because he doesn't trust him whatsoever.
Risks and challenges
Experience - This is our first Kickstarter project, and we'll be honest, it's pretty ambitious. Fortunately, between us, we've got a lot of experience delivering professional projects, and we've got a lot of friends who have experience with successful Kickstarters who've offered their help and advice. We've left ourselves reasonable margins of error in our budget, and have planned out every detail possible.
Completion - The writing for the core book is finished and ready to go to our editor. The expansion book is currently being written. Additional stretch goals will require additional writing. We're confident that we'll be able to complete all of these by our shipping date.
Shipping - Shipping prices have skyrocketed in the last few years. While we have a good idea as to how much it'll cost in the near future, there's always a chance that things will change drastically. To account for any unforeseen price changes, we have intentionally over-estimated our shipping costs.
Communication - We realize that post-funding communication to our backers is very important. We will be committing to providing bi-monthly updates both here on Kickstarter and through our social media presence (Facebook, Twitter).
Events Outside Our Control - Monkeyfun is a two-man operation. If one of us gets hit by a bus, the other will be able to carry on and complete the project (after seeking street vengeance against the bus). If both of us get hit by a bus, things might be in trouble, and this is why we only ever meet in secret locations at unannounced times under heavy guard. Usually away from buses.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

Professional & reliable supplier. Peter is very helpful during the purchasing of the stone which makes us confident of what were buying. Our backyard just looks stunning now! Highly recommended!
We have been co-operating with Aushen over 5 years and it's just wonderful to have such a supplier. The products & services they do are incredible & they always keep us informed on each stage and helped us plan in advance. When we have some special requirements on some irregularly shaped paving, they helped with local stonemason. Excellent job done!
Lucky we popped in Aushen before we put deposit to another supplier! We didn't know there are many bluestone on the market & they are all different. Aushen is the only supplier we visit who can guarantee the bluestone won't curl. Thanks Peter for the time & patience in helping us the getting right product. My kids just love to play on the bluestone area now.

The JonnyPops Story
It all started when…
When Erik Brust was in high school, he took a trip to visit his older cousin Jonathan, who was beginning his first year at university.
The pair – enthusiastic about real food that tastes great – swapped ideas on how to create a healthful, yet delightful "better-for-you" treat. Growing up in a family with nut and other food allergies taught them early on to read food labels carefully. Even proficient label skimmers know it's a challenge to find healthy + delicious treats the entire family can enjoy.
Back then, the only frozen treats on the market were artificially flavored ice pops (sugar + water) or decadent, heavy bars with a long list of ingredients that were difficult to pronounce. There was nothing in between!
The cousins' idea to create a delicious and wholesome frozen treat came to fruition – no pun intended – when Erik began school a few years later at St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota. Unable to rid himself of the mouthwatering business idea he and his cousin had dreamed up, he approached four classmates – Connor, Andrew, Jamie and Kilian – to help him make his dream a reality.
They were all in!
Humble Beginnings
Armed with a blender, assorted kitchen utensils and Erik's vision of a "better-for-you" frozen fruit bar, the boys made their way to the basement kitchen of their dorm.
The guys spent many hours cutting and peeling fruits, blending and measuring ingredients, and freezing small batches in ice trays prepped with popsicle sticks. There were many weekends spent wheeling carts of frozen treats to local farmers' markets and – especially during finals week – distributing them around campus.
It's safe to say they failed their way forward. Thankfully, there were always lots of willing taste testers. Amid the tremendous encouragement and feedback they received from friends and family, they perfected an amazing and wonderful formula.
Real fruit. Heavy cream. Cane sugar. Purified water. And a pinch of salt. Just simple, wholesome ingredients with no fillers and absolutely nothing artificial.
In 2011, a business was born with three terrific flavors: Strawberries & Cream, Raspberries Blueberries & Cream, and Pineapple Coconut & Cream.
In Memory of Jonathon
They named their frozen bars "JonnyPops," after Erik's cousin and his original co- conspirator and visionary, Jonathan.
Jonathan's accidental death in college was a catalyst for carrying the cousins' shared dream forward. His passing, the result of a tragic drug overdose, filled the family with grief – but also fueled a desire to spark change.
In honor of the company's namesake, JonnyPops partners with nonprofit organizations that support addiction recovery by donating a portion of our annual proceeds to their work. In addition, each JonnyPops stick is printed with a good deed because we believe sharing kindness, through actions big and small, promotes heathy interactions, and helps us achieve our mission of making the world a better place, one pop at a time.
#MadeinMN, Growing Nationwide
In 2014, cofounders, Erik Brust and Connor Wray, finished college and took their JonnyPops positions full-time. With Erik and Connor as CEO and CFO, respectively, they made the move to St. Louis Park, Minnesota, along with a team of 10 employees.
One year later, we partnered with local communities to create Smart Snack-approved pops, which reach millions of students nationally. To honor our pledge of making the world a better place, one pop at a time, we implemented kindness and anti-bullying campaigns in schools. These campaigns encourage kids across the country to share acts of kindness inside and outside of the classroom.
Simple, Wholesome + Delicious Ingredients
Eventually, our three original flavors became six, and in March 2018, the delicious fruity flavors were joined by five rich, yet simply delightful flavors.
Similar to the fruits, our Delights flavors are made from wholesome ingredients – nothing artificial – with less than 200 calories per pop!
We've worked hard to achieve the right balance of real ingredients, flavor and creaminess. Our pops, like a frozen "smoothie-on-a-stick," are consistently creamy and packed with flavor in a way that only simple, natural ingredients can deliver. We're happy to say they're completely peanut, tree nut, and gluten free, as well as kosher certified.
We continue to grow at our headquarters in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, where we now produce eleven flavors, six days a week – with a growing group of more than 50 enthusiastic, pop-loving employees.
Pop-Ping Up in Stores Near You
Looking back seven years ago to the dorm room of a small southern Minnesota university, we never imagined we would be where we are today.
In 2018, our cofounders, Erik and Connor, were named to Forbes "30 Under 30" list of young entrepreneurs – as the youngest winners in the "Food and Drink" category – in a competition that receives over 15,000 nominations for just 600 spots.
We've gone from selling our pops in small town farmers' markets to beaming brightly from shelves of the largest retailers in the nation.
Today, you can find us in schools and retail locations across the country.
A Better Pop, For a Better World
At JonnyPops, we believe that sharing kindness helps us achieve our mission of making the world a better place, one pop at a time.
We hope that our pops encourage you to pay it forward in your communities –through random acts of kindness or by sharing the deliciousness of JonnyPops with family + friends!
Our brand has remained the same since the beginning –like we say on the back of every package, "Making delicious frozen pops is our passion, helping us achieve our mission of making the world a better place, one pop at a time."
From the big successes to the smaller wins, we couldn't have done it without a team that continues to push JonnyPops to the next level. What's more, we couldn't have done it without the kindness and support from fans just like you!
We can't make a difference without YOU and we hope our pops encourage you to pay it forward in your communities - through random acts of kindness and by sharing the undeniable yumminess of JonnyPops with family + friends!
Enjoy + share JonnyPops and help us in making the world a better place, one pop at time!

Staff Writer - CheersandGears.com
June 30, 2012
From the "Wait, What?!" department comes a report from Inside Line that says the next generation GT-R hasn't been approved.
A source reveals that Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn hasn't given the green light to begin work on the next GT-R. More worryingly, the source says that Ghosn might not give it go ahead at all.
A possible reason as to why Ghosn might not give the green light is in this tidbit from the report,
"Ghosn approved the original GT-R only after being assured that it would make money for the company even at low volumes. Since its introduction, GT-R sales in the United States have added up to just 5,914 units and they have slowed recently to just 583 this year."
Most likely the GT-R isn't making enough profit to meet expectations. Part of that could come from the price increase that has happen since the GT-R was launched in 2008.
2008: $69,850 (Base); $71,900 (Premium)
2009: $76,840 (Base); $79,090 (Premium)
2010: $80,790 (Base); $83,040 (Premium)
2011: $84,060 (Premium)
2012: $90,950 (Premium)
2013: $96,820 (Premium)
*2011 saw the base GT-R dropped*
Yes, Nissan has been improving the GT-R every year or so (2013 model sees a increase of 15 for both HP and torque; 545 HP and 463 lb-ft of torque. 0-60 time of 2.7 seconds.), but in the crowded field of sports cars, having numbers like those isn't enough.
A couple other items to take into consideration: in 2009 Ghosn was a champion of the GT-R project. Now, he is the champion of the Leaf EV, something that is way on the other side of the spectrum. Also, chief engineer of the GT-R Kazutoshi Mizuno, recently retired.
Previously, rumors had the next generation GT-R to appear sometime in 2014. Horsepower was expected to be around 600 HP and possibly use a hybrid powertrain. Now, the GT-R is up in the air.

By Victor Antonio
When working with families I remind them to take certain steps to reduce their expenses or taxes. They always respond, "I know. I know." and then proceed to give me some excuse as to why they haven't done it. I remind them of the old saying, "To know and not do is the same as not knowing." So here are 5 things you can do to reduce your taxable income and keep more of your hard earned money in your pocket.
1. Retirement Savings = Lower Taxable Income
During the year, one of the best ways to reduce your taxable income is to fund a retirement account or increase your contribution to one. By putting money into a traditional IRA and 401(k) plan, you reduce the amount of money you'll get taxed on. Also, I highly recommended that you max out your contributions, to a 401(k) for example, to the employer's matching limit if you can afford it.
2. Deduct Your Job-Hunting Costs
If last year you were looking for a job in the same line of work or field, you can deduct those job-hunting expenses on your taxes. And yes, qualifying expenses can be written off even if you didn't get hired for a particular position. These expenses can include, but are not limited to: transportation (mileage, airfare) and fees (tolls, fares, parking) to and from the interview, lodging if you had to stay overnight, food, printing costs for resumes and business cards, postage, online job-hunting services, and so on. Make sure you track down all the expenses you incurred because they can add up to a substantial amount. Note: If you're job-hunting for the first time these expenses do not qualify for a tax write-off.
3. Deduct You Moving Costs
Sometimes finding a new job will require you to move to a new city or town. If you land a new job that's at least 50 miles farther from your home than your previous job was, you can deduct those moving expenses as long as your new employer isn't reimbursing you for them.
4. Home Office Write-Off
If you are self-employed or use a part of your home for a home office, you may be able to deduct expenses such as: mortgage interest, utilities, insurance, Internet and/or phone services. There are two ways to estimate the amount you can write-off. First, if for example you have a 3 bedroom home and you use one room strictly as an office, you may be able to deduct a one third (one of three rooms) of those qualifying expenses. Or, you can take a $5 deduction per square foot of your home office, up to 300 square feet, for a maximum $1,500 deduction.
5. Reduce Taxable Income for the Self-Employed
If you're self-employed, have no employees and need a way to reduce your taxable income, Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) plans are a type of tax-deferred retirement savings plan for the self-employed and small business owners. With a SEP, a business can make tax-free contributions to an individual retirement account using tax-deductible dollars. Self-employed persons can contribute up to 20% of their net self-employment earnings towards their own account but are limited to a maximum dollar amount of $52,000 per plan participant for year 2014. Here's the best part; the plan can be adopted as late as the due date of the tax return for the tax year in question which means you can decide to contribute at the last minute before submitting your taxes.
Lastly, I've given you a few ideas to reduce your taxes and keep more of your money. I strongly recommend you get together with your tax advisor to discuss and confirm the above options, as tax policies change constantly, and also to explore what other write-offs or tax reduction tactics might be available to you. The more you know, the more money you can keep.

I purposely saved this gorgeous romper for last. When I slipped it on, I was seriously like, "Wait a minute, I look totally different than the girl in the original photo now, lol…" I was literally seeing my curves appear pop out of nowhere, lmao. I sat in that mirror and stared. I am laughing now because, I screamed out loud, "Yaaaaaaaas Tobi, YAAAAAAAAAASSS !" I was thinking that this romper was going to officially be my birthday suit… and I just knew I would be the baddest woman walking out that night. You couldn't tell me anything, lol.
Again, I totally fell in love when I saw this romper in it's wrapping. BUT… this new romper that's being featured on the site now is absolutely gorgeous because of it's ombre tone. Unlike my romper, this one has a choker style neckline. Totally cute.
I decided when it came to necklaces, it had to be the bib style. Anytime you wear a deep neck line or if you've got that push up bra ladies, wearing a bib necklace does wonders for the cleavage. I promise you. I've tried this trick on many old clients and they couldn't believe it, lol. If you would love to reach out to her on IG, search @atarracreations. When choosing from an array of necklaces, I could not make up my mind on which the choose… everything was so beautiful.

Students, staff call STEP's second year a success
It's a simple concept—invite high school- and college-age students who need summer jobs to introduce them to careers in health care and to Carle. That's what the Summer Temporary Employment Program (STEP) did for the second year this summer, and it was a success for Carle and STEP employees.
Sixteen STEP workers took positions as medical assistants, healthcare technicians, patient transporters, lab assistants, food service workers, environmental services workers and office clerical staff. While they are only in their STEP jobs for eight to 12 weeks, that short time can make a big difference to a department and even change a young person's life.
STEP assistants Matthew Wong, who worked in the lab, and Madison White, who worked in Orthopedics, took advantage of the program to gain traction in their budding careers.
"I was able to work and see first-hand a crucial part of health care," Wong said. "I am actually going to pharmacy school next year, and I'm glad to have a stronger background and foundation of health care going into my first year."
White also sees herself pursuing a career in health care, but as a nurse.
Her summer job as a medical assistant was a perfect fit, she said, because she was able to participate in hands-on health care right away. She was such a good fit, she was hired on to continue to work in the department after her STEP assignment ended.
"Being able to jump right in was great because the program only lasts for the summer, though in my case it became a full-time position," she said. "So, the training and experience I got this summer are really helping in the new job."
STEP helps departments deal with summer vacation schedule changes and builds relationships with potential employees.
Both of the STEP employees also got to see why Carle is a special place to work.
"It was great to be able to interact and hear the testimonies of the Carle employees and how passionate they are to be in health care," Wong said.
"One of the big differences in working at Carle is the sense I get that my supervisors care about how I'm doing and care about my input," White added.

text: This is a 35 year old male from Dutchess County, Upstate, NY, who is 5'11 and 167 pounds, who had been enduring Gynecomastia, a condition that is caused by the formation of glandular tissue beneath the male breast that results in the breast becoming enlarged. It was a condition that caused much discomfort for the patient and he became very self-conscious about the appearance of his chest. He sought the expertise of Dr. Mordcai Blau, board certified plastic surgeon and a diplomat of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, after viewing the success of the before and after photos offered on the website. He became further impressed to discover that over 50% of Dr. Blau's practice is devoted to the correction of the Gynecomastia condition and that he has even developed his own surgical correction of the condition called the "Natural Blend Technique." The patient underwent male breast reduction surgery along with a small amount of liposuction. The incision was less than an inch in diameter an inconspicuous, not noticeable even without a shirt. The patient is very satisfied with the results and has recommended several others to Dr. Blau.

People Power: Wetland communities help reduce the tragic effects of natural hazards
08 Nov 2018
Ninety percent of all natural hazards are water-related and take a tragic human toll[1]. Since 1900, more than 11 million people have died as a consequence of drought alone[2]. By 2050, loss of wetlands, rising populations in flood-susceptible areas, climate change, rising sea levels, and deforestation are set to increase the number of people vulnerable to floods to 2 billion.[3]
Healthy wetlands, which include such iconic sites as the Everglades, Pantanal, Sundarbans and Okavango Delta, not only provide most of our freshwater, they also function as 'natural infrastructure' defending us from the often catastrophic effects of floods, droughts, storm surges and other natural hazards.
Harnessing traditional knowledge, cultural practices and innovations can contribute significantly to disaster risk reduction. For example, in Indonesia, Dayak communities in Borneo have used peatland swamp forests for generations for native tree crops and fisheries in traditional fish ponds called Beje. Peatlands and other carbon-rich wetlands hold twice the amount of carbon contained in all of the world's forests. The Dayak communities' sustainable use of peatlands helps maintain the wetland, reduces the likelihood of flooding and fires, and keeps carbon locked in the ground.
If these peatlands were to be drained and converted, such benefits would be lost and these huge natural carbon stores would become greenhouse gas sources. In support of these communities, Wetlands International, a partner of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, has established a fund for community-based peatland restoration initiatives called the Indonesian Peatlands Partnership Fund (IPPF)[4].
Another example of a community-based approach to disaster risk reduction is found in Senegal. To restore the Saloum Delta Ramsar Site, local communities and organizations have worked together to re-plant mangroves. The restoration of the Saloum Delta not only helps control natural hazards such as flooding, it also protects the area against coastal erosion and provides freshwater to local communities and their livestock through-out the year. This community-based mangrove restoration project, supported by the Livelihoods Carbon Fund with the NGO Océanium, is the largest in the world, with 100 million mangrove trees planted in an area covering 10,000 hectares. It won the Ramsar Award for Innovation in 2015[5].
In the Philippines in Pangasinan, several villages have adopted an early warning system for floods that combines indigenous and scientific knowledge. The villages use scientific monitoring of river flows to predict flooding, and then launch flood warnings by striking a traditional bamboo musical instrument called the 'kanungkong'. During heavy flooding in 2007, this innovative hybrid system allowed the community to prepare and respond with sufficient time.[6]
Another example of the value of traditional environmental knowledge as an early warning system is the tsunami legend of the Moken (also known as 'sea gypsies'), which speaks of a 'wave that eats people' and identifies its signs, such as receding sea levels and the sudden quiet of insects. The Moken, who live in the Andaman Sea, were able to read the signs of the 2004 Asian Tsunami thanks to this knowledge and save themselves and several tourists who happened to be in the area. At the time, this story was broadcast on international news channels.[7]
As climate change worsens, water-related hazards such as floods, droughts and storm surges are set to increase in both frequency and intensity[8]. These hazards disproportionally affect poor populations, and the international community should and is endeavoring to put in place effective measures to combat climate change and its effects.
In the long run, reducing the tragic toll of water-related hazards, which constitute 90% of all natural hazards, requires an integrated approach – one which addresses not only wetland conservation and restoration, but also the implementation of effective climate change solutions and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. The traditional knowledge, cultural practices, and innovations of local communities and indigenous peoples constitute a valuable 'living repertoire' of solutions. This 'living repertoire' can play a powerful role in successful strategies to prevent, reduce and cope with natural hazards.

After being the first "Zero-Emission", from the 1st of April 2016 Hotel Milano Scala is the first ALLERGY FREE Hotel in Milan!
Our Hotel keeps its focus on Sensitive Guests, in this occasion with the particular aim of helping people with respiratory allergies who require more sensitivity and care during their stay.
An entire rooms floor has been set according to the guidelines developed by ALLERGY FREE HOTELS, the first project recognized by the major quality labels and medical certifications in Europe that created a natural prophylaxis and ecological system able to eliminate all microorganisms and allergens present inside a hotel room.
Thanks to this action, we are now able to offer Sensitive Customer - and people travelling with them - a better sleep and a more comfortable stay by eliminating allergies problems.
According to our green philosophy, ALLERGY FREE HOTELS is an eco-friendly project as it only uses natural substances - trivalent oxygen (O3) and water (steam) - excluding in this way any chemical substance that could be dangerous for the environment and potentially harmful for humans.
This new challenge is another step towards our Sensitive guests, among the other already performed by our Hotel Milano Scala in the past years: Green & Glocal eco-friendly cuisine, Gluten and Lactose-free Breakfast for people with food intolerances; soft mobility promotion with our 100% electric courtesy car , up to our roof vegetable garden with zero-food miles products.

I saw a story on Facebook this week from the Irish Times, one of Ireland's major papers, entitled We Owe Sinead O'Connor an Apology. And I thought, what? I had not heard that name in years. But I remember very distinctly what she did in 1992 on a live broadcast of Saturday Night Live. She tore up a picture of Pope John Paul II. And I was watching. Like any other good Catholic boy, I was outraged. This was John Paul, the Polish Pope, the anti-communist Pope, the man people rank with Ronald Reagan for ending the Cold War. He was beloved by Catholics and millions outside the faith for his strength and courage. He restored prestige to a Papacy that had been tarnished by its mixed record during the Second World War. The last thing I wanted to see on Saturday Night Live was some counter-cultural nonsense that our Pope was the enemy. I tuned out whatever message she was sending with her music, and happily joined the popular outrage at her actions.
But many decades later, it turns out the message I refused to hear when it was given was that children were being abused by the Catholic Church. I built an immediate mental barrier to this new information. And sadly, that is the normal human response. Some psychologists refer to it as the "invisible wall" effect that has us running into the same facts again and again, but never willing to accept them. It is the wall we build between reality, and what we want reality to be. And unfortunately, this invisible wall is particularly high and pernicious in the context of child sexual exploitation.
In modern times, the sexual exploitation of children is perhaps the only crime for which society has no tolerance. The mere mention of it frequently brings out a medieval mindset in people who will exclaim "castrate them all" or "kill them all" even in polite company. And yet it happens, and by some measures, is happening more frequently now than before. And so, the invisible wall goes up. Rather than accept that piece of unnerving information, we filter it away and pretend it does not really exist. Why? Because accepting the information would require us to take action and make fundamental change. Since humanity prefers not to do that, we turn a blind eye instead. Would prostitution really be an institution if men did not build an invisible wall filtering out evidence that it is frequently child rape? Would police departments still arrest child victims of trafficking, instead of perpetrators and pimps, if there was not an invisible wall concerning child sexual trafficking? Would parents ignore signs of sexual abuse from people they trust, if not for the invisible barrier that keeps them from recognizing a horrible truth?
The Catholic Church is not the "true enemy" as Sinead O'Connor declared. ECPAT was founded with the help of Catholic orders that today do amazing work in the field of human trafficking and on a host of other issues affecting children. But the Church does have a very high invisible wall in dealing with clergy that have committed horrible crimes. As nearly everyone is now aware, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court released a report identifying over 1,000 children who had been abused in the State of Pennsylvania by over 300 clergy over a period of 70 years. The report notes the efforts of Bishops to cover up the cases in a familiar pattern of transferring priests to other parishes and pressuring families to say nothing. Tragically it is a tale we have been forced to read again and again, in Boston, Ireland, Canada, Australia and Chile. And equally tragically, you can watch the invisible walls to this information being built. The President of the Catholic League Bill Donohue, remarked "Most of the alleged victims were not raped: they were groped or otherwise abused, but not penetrated, which is what the word 'rape' means." Meanwhile, in a deposition, Syracuse, New York Bishop Robert Cunningham suggested that since the "Age of Reason" — meaning the ability to tell right from wrong — in Catholic doctrine is age 7, boys who experienced sexual abuse may have some culpability for it. The responses are as predictable as they are disappointing.
Fortunately, today, Pope Francis issued a letter to Catholics around the world, that struck a different tone. He said:
"With shame and repentance, we acknowledge as an ecclesial community that we were not where we should have been, that we did not act in a timely manner, realizing the magnitude and the gravity of the damage done to so many lives. We showed no care for the little ones; we abandoned them."
It is an important first step in bringing down the invisible wall that has kept the Catholic Church from making the sort of fundamental change necessary to move past this era once and for all. As has occurred in other jurisdictions, we believe that the statute of limitations should be waived for these cases in Pennsylvania. We also think that the Catholic Church, like other institutions that have adults working in close contact with children, must adopt more rigorous screening standards for clergy and seminarians.
However, an important lesson for all of us is to attend to the invisible walls that we throw up that make it easier to ignore difficult realities. When Sinead O'Connor criticized my Pope, I did not want to hear it. But way back in 1992, she was right. Children were being abused under Catholic care. She was correct to call attention to it. She was correct to protest. And so, I have to accept that like all people I have my blind spots. But that does not excuse us from identifying them and removing them. None of us should turn a blind eye when the lives of children hang in the balance.

Two Acoustic Blues Guitar Techniques
You can use two simple acoustic blues techniques to give your blues guitar playing more variety. Alternating the texture creates an unexpected, less homogeneous sound. And combining open strings with fretted ones creates some unusual results by enabling some notes to ring while others move melodically.
Alternation refers to the practice of playing the melody and bass parts one at a time, in an alternating fashion, instead of at the same time. Rather than having the thumb constantly play bass notes while the fingers simultaneously play melody notes, you can sometimes play just melody notes or just bass notes. This technique not only adds variety to the music's texture, but it also enables you to play some cooler-sounding, more difficult, trickier licks that may otherwise be impossible.
This example shows a phrase that begins with only the melody (which you play in double-stops, a common acoustic blues technique) and ends with only bass (playing a boogie groove). You can see how the bass part — instead of playing merely quarter notes on the low roots — becomes more elaborate if you don't need to worry about melody notes.
An effective and fancy little trick is to play an actual bass lick (that is, a bass melody instead of just a boogie figure) in an alternation scheme. The following example begins like the preceding example. That's the melody's turn in the alternation scheme. Then, in bar 2, the bass part takes its turn, so you can go to town with an exciting bass lick. Typically, these bass licks use notes of the E pentatonic minor (or E blues) scale with some major thirds (on the fourth fret of the 6th string) and major sixths (on the fourth fret of the 5th string) thrown in.
Open-string/fretted-string combinations
Another important acoustic-blues guitar technique is alternating between an open string and a fretted note (on an adjacent string) that's the same pitch or a nearby pitch. You usually play this technique on the treble strings, but you can play it in the bass part as well.
In this example, you play the first high E on the 2nd string (a fretted note); next, you play the E on the 1st string (an open note) and then you play it back on the 2nd string again. The open E then recurs after you play some nearby notes on the 2nd string. Then the same idea occurs with the Bs on the fretted 3rd and open 2nd strings. Measure 2 (with the bass part playing alone) illustrates the same idea in a bass-part setting. On beats 3 and 4, the open D on the 4th string alternates with the 5th-string D and nearby notes.

Tom Ford Lip Color ★★★★
Price: $65.00AUD
About: creamy lipstick packaged in an metallic ivory case with gold edging.
Review: Tom Ford just loves the perfect lip - and I truly agree that it completes a look, so it is only fitting that Mr. Ford released his lovely Lip Color line in 2011 and brought it to Australia's shores. 18 shades of perfection were created personally by Tom for women of all ages. Lip Color are essential must-have shades such as Pink Dusk, a dusky pink tone that looks so pretty it should be illegal(!!) and True Coral, a hot pink-coral tone which is such a statement shade that even MAC's Global Creative Director Terry Barber commented on my lips! I was stoked! The formula is soft and creamy thanks to ingredients Soja Seed Extract, Brazilian Murumuru Butter and Chamomilla Flower Oil. The lipstick godet looks super expensive and its metallic case stands out from many other competitors on the market. While Lip Color is by no means a long-wearing formula it feels lovely on lips and looks great when worn.
Purchased: No.

Micah Andrews
23 year old Micah Andrews comes to us from Denver Colorado. Micah is a stripper at BoyzTown, a local Gay club in Denver. He's bisexual and he and his girlfriend just had a baby together. When Micah is in a relationship with a guy, he prefers to bottom, but has topped. Micah is here to show off for you, as well as make some extra money. He leans back in the chair, unbuttons his shirt. With his jeans undone, he reaches in and begins fluffing his goods. Losing his blue jeans, Micah bends over the arm of the chair and strokes and tugs his package, while massaging and fingering his hole. He stands up, taking hold of his cock and strokes fast and firmly as he watches a porno on the laptop. Leaning back in the chair again, he strokes and squeezes his balls, while finger fucking his hole again. As Micah nears his peak, he speeds up his handjob, bringing things to a close, letting loose with a squirting load across his abs.

Report: Modernize the Budget Process to Control Entitlement Spending
Yet another article deemed not good enough. Comments are appreciated
Congress needs to thoroughly review the budgetary process in order to face exploding costs in entitlement programs states a new report from the Mercatus Center. The process is presently ruled by the Budget Act of 1974, which can easily control discretionary spending by cutting it if it goes over a determined cap. But entitlements such as Medicare are part of mandatory spending, and according to Senior Fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center James A.Capretta, these spendings virtually know no limit. Such lack of restrain could create emergency situations.
"The fiscal leeway is very slim at the moment," he said in an interview. "Suppose there were a major international crisis that required emergency Defense spending of $150 billion. Such a shock in spending would likely decrease investors' confidence in the U.S. economy and increase both the cost of borrowing and taxes."
Capretta believes that such a crisis would be one of the only ways Congress would have to come up with a serious solution to the present fiscal problems. "The Budget Act wasn't created to face steep increase in entitlement programs. In fact, there is no incentive for Congress to act, which is exactly what it does: let the programs spend the projected amounts, no matter how rapidly they might be growing."
And Capretta thinks that the recent "Medicare Fix" is a good example of this do-nothing attitude. "It's going to increase spending for a program whose cost is already rising rapidly. It also opens the door for federal bureaucracy to micromanage the quality of care, which will make future problems even worse."
The senior fellow proposes a few solutions to help solving the current budget problems. "First Congress needs to abolish the pay-as-you-go scheme. It's a huge incentive to increase revenues in order to finance entitlement programs."
"And second, instead of handling periodic shutdowns, Congress would need to move towards continuing resolutions", he adds. "With CRs, the affected department would continue to operate but at a lower level than the originally appropriated amount. This would go one for 30 to 60 days, after which time there would be a new decrease. This would therefore put more pressure on Congress to act quickly."
He does believe that politicians recognize the need to reform the Budget Act, but "there seems to be no will to act at the moment," he concludes.

A proposed restaurant in the Back Bay of Boston that remains unopened after 12 years may finally be seeing its days numbered, as a state rep is looking to take away the spot's liquor license.
According to Universal Hub, restaurateur Joe Cimino recently requested that he be able to receive six to nine more months to open Saratoga restaurant on Fairfield Street, but state Rep. Marty Walz feels that it is time to give the license to someone else, as Cimino has had six years to open the place--and the previous owner also had six years of holding the license without opening a restaurant.
Universal Hub mentions that Boston has a limited number of liquor licenses, and complicating this case further is the fact that the licensing board also grants the wishes of the Back Bay Neighborhood Association in having an informal limit on the number of licenses in the Back Bay.
The board will decide tomorrow whether to revoke the license for Saratoga restaurant.
The address in question is 41 Fairfield Street, Boston, MA, 02116.
For more information on this story, please go to the Universal Hub link below.
State rep demands revocation of liquor license for Back Bay restaurant that's sat unopened for more than a decade
Thanks to MC Slim JB for bringing this to our attention.

Syrian rebels are struggling to advance in an Aleppo offensive which has seen fierce combat with few gains.
In a move which looks to further complicate the civil war, rebels also threatened to take on local Kurdish militants.
Aleppo is pivitol to the course of the conflict which has taken at least 30,000 lives. Meanwhile the United Nations Human Rights Council has condemned gross violations by President Bashar al Assad's forces.
"Assad continues to cling to power and his campaign of brutality has sparked a deepening humanitarian crisis. We cannot afford to be silent," said Eileen Chamberlain, U.S Ambassador to the UN's Human Rights Council.
However, the Syrian Ambassador Faysal Khabbaz Hamoui rejected a UN draft resolution, insisting it:
"Doesn't reflect the reality on the ground and is based on accusations which are in many cases purely fictitious."
He then referred to the main accusations surrounding the Houla massacre as one such example, insisting the government condemns any bloodshed.

|December 16, 1993
(aged 64)
Guilford, Connecticut, U.S.
|Years active
|Gwendolyn Mumma Landes (1966–1993) (his death) (2 children)
Moses Gunn (October 2, 1929 – December 16, 1993)[1] was an American actor of African descent. An Obie Award-winning stage player, he co-founded the Negro Ensemble Company in the 1960s. His 1962 Off-Broadway debut was in Jean Genet's The Blacks, and his Broadway debut was in A Hand is on the Gate, an evening of African-American poetry. He was nominated for a 1976 Tony Award as Best Actor (Play) for The Poison Tree and played Othello on Broadway in 1970.
Born in St. Louis, Missouri, the son of Mary and George Gunn, he was the oldest of five children. After his mother died, his family separated. Moses left home and rode the railroad at just 12 years old. He returned to St. Louis and attended school while living at the home of Jewel Richie, his English teacher. He graduated from Tennessee State University after serving in the United States Army, then went to graduate school at Kansas University, gaining a master's degree. He taught briefly at Grambling College before attempting an acting career in NYC. He married Gwendolyn Mumma Landes in 1966, becoming stepfather to her daughter Kirsten Sarah Landes. They had a son, Justin Moses, in 1970 who became a musician and composer in the Copenhagen-based band, "The Reverend Shine Snake Oil Co."
An authoritative black character actor of film and TV, Gunn also enjoyed a successful career on stage. He made his New York City stage debut in the original off-Broadway production of Jean Genet's The Blacks (1962). He performed many Shakespearean roles in Joseph Papp's Shakespeare in the Park, winning an Obie Award for his portrayal of Aaron in Titus Andronicus. He won a second Obie for his work in the NEC produced First Breeze of Summer, which moved to Broadway. His acclaimed performance as Othello at the Stratford, Connecticut Shakespeare Festival moved to Broadway in 1970. Other Broadway plays in which Gunn performed are: A Hand is on the Gate, Twelfth Night, I Have a Dream, and The Poison Tree. He was nominated for a Tony Award nomination for Best Actor for the The Poison Tree.
He may be best remembered in film for his portrayal of mobster Ellsworth Raymond "Bumpy" Jonas in the first two Shaft movies, Booker T. Washington in the 1981 movie Ragtime, a performance which won him an NAACP Image Award, and as Cairon, the Childlike Empress' imperial physician, in the 1984 film The NeverEnding Story. He was nominated for an Emmy Award in 1977 for his role in the TV mini-series Roots. He also co-starred with Avery Brooks on the TV series A Man Called Hawk. Gunn appeared in six episodes as atheist shop owner Carl Dixon on Good Times, as boxer-turned-farmer Joe Kagan on Little House on the Prairie, and as "Moses Gage" in Father Murphy. In 1989, Gunn appeared in two episodes of The Cosby Show as two different characters. His final acting role was as murder suspect Risley Tucker in "Three Men and Adena", an episode of Homicide: Life on the Street.[citation needed]
He died from complications of asthma in Guilford, Connecticut on December 16, 1993. He was survived by his wife Gwendolyn, a son, Justin, of Guilford; a daughter, Kirsten Landes Mudd of Philadelphia, as well as a brother and three sisters.[2]

Inverlochy Place
Currently, there are limited sites around Wellington where emerging street artists can practise without asking for permission. Inverlochy Place (144 Abel Smith Street) became one of those sites when Rod Baxter, a youth worker with an interest in street art asked permission of his then landlord in 2013 if artists were able to paint on the brick wall on the west side of the street.
See Vividwgtn's Inverlochy Pinterest Board for some of the past works.
In 2015 Vividwgtn organisers Bruce Mahalski & Nic Lane who have been involved with neighbouring Inverlochy Art School saw future townhouse developments at 146 Abel Smith Street would see the removal of part of the wall and so set about extending wall space to the east side as well.
Vivid also recognised the disadvantage female artists have in advancing their practice with the traditional mode of development happening in the darkness of the night when they are more physically vulnerable.
In the 2016 Festival, we created a brief mostly focused around the artists' self-expression but also responding to the sites location to the original Wellington Girls College (1883) and their identity as women. Artists included: Taupuruariki (Ariki) Brightwell, Regan Billie Jones, Larissa McMillan
Additional History of the Street:
"The Avenue" facing North from Abel Smith Street, c.1890s
Previously known as 'The Avenue' the street is believed to be a pedestrian link from Aro Valley to the CBD since 1875. To retain private ownership at the time it previously required a gate that was shut at least one day of the year.
Inverlochy House was built circa 1878 by Thomas Kennedy Macdonald, a Scottish accountant/auctioneer and later local Politician, for more detailed history see Inverlochy Art School History
The original Wellington Girls College (1883) occupied 146 Abel Smith street site (building behind current garages).
In 1936 and 'The Avenue' became Inverlochy Place and is believed around this time Inverlochy was divided into nine flats.
In 1979, William Development Holdings announced plans to knock down Inverlochy House and build a seven storey hotel with a car park on the site. The building's inhabitants were issued with eviction notices but together with other local residents they began a fight to save the historic building. The Terrace End Residents Association was formed to fight the demolition and street fairs and rallying perused.
The right to demolish the building were originally passed by the council, but following questions of Michael Fowler's ability to count voting hands, votes were recounted after a dinner break with assumed lobbying with the decision was revoked.
Attempts were made to gift the street to the city in the 1990s but as it didn't meet council standards the gift was never accepted. Currently the street has private ownership shared by 5 landowners.Tags: Inverlochy Place

Bridal dress shopping can be the ultimate girl time or a stressful experience. Even if you are a seasoned shopping aficionado, shopping for a wedding dress is a completely different experience. Fortunately, your bridal appointment will be successful if you remember these shopping tips.
DO: Your research
Build your confidence before shopping by gathering basic knowledge of wedding dresses. Do some simple research on dress styles and silhouettes, designers whose aesthetic matches yours and the colors you like best (yes, there are actually many shades of white). If you can communicate with your sales rep in her language, your appointment will be more successful.
DO: Start shopping early
Some brides will not start shopping until they have lost 10 more pounds. This is a mistake! The process can be stressful, and the added pressure of a tight deadline adds unnecessary drama. Try to begin shopping 9-12 months before your wedding. Pro Tip: If you are worried about a swing in weight, find a corset style gown.
DO: Bring a strapless bra and pair of heels
If you want to see exactly how the dress will look, have these items handy. Some dresses will look completely differently with a good foundation or when they are lifted just an inch or two with a pair of heels.
DO: Try on different styles
You have always dreamed of a ballgown, but may be pleasantly surprised at how elegant you feel in a mermaid or A-line. Trust your bridal consultants and try on anything they suggest. Your dream dress may be homely on the hanger but gorgeous on you.
DON'T: Get hung up on a size
It is just a number. Wedding dresses do not run the same as your typical clothing sizes. Don't let a tiny number in the tag stand between you and your dream dress. Remember your dress will probably require some alterations. It's about the fit, never about the number.
DON'T: Bring your entourage
Bring your trusted advisors–your friends and family that are encouraging yet honest. Do not bring a huge entourage because you do not want to hurt feelings. In this case, the appointment usually leads to confusion and conflicting opinions. It will be hard to focus on your true feelings on each dress.
DON'T: Try on a dress you can't afford
It is worth repeating. Do not try on a dress that is outside of your budget, even if it is just to get a feel for a style or size. A $2,000 dress will never be able to compete with a $7,000 dress. Don't set yourself up for failure. Stick to your price range. Pro Tip: If you are working with a low budget, go for a more simple gown and glam it up with a quality beaded sash or accessory.
DON'T: Forget about accessories and alterations
Invest some time in choosing just the right accessories to complement your ensemble and of course, don't forget to budget for them. Some brides put so much time and energy finding just the right dress and the rest of the details are just an afterthought. You may want a veil, flower crown or hair piece, jewelry, and a pretty sash or belt. Don't forget about your shoes! You will definitely need cute and comfy shoes!
Your best experience will happen at the best bridal shop. Ask for suggestion to find a shop that offers a great selection in your price range, and helpful bridal consultants.
