We have featured many, many shoes and bags from Valentino's Rockstud family already, but must embarrasingly admit that we have missed out on the most popular style yet, the 4 inch high heel t-strap version as seen below. Sorry, guys! So what could possibly be said about this shoe that hasn't been said before? It's THE SHOE by Valentino and you've probably seen it like a gazillion times in your Instagram feed, in fashion magazines and on the feet of your favorite celebrities and fashion bloggers. But despite the medial Valentino overexposure I am still just as much in love with the Rockstud heels as they day I first saw them! These heels ooze pure elegance and they're so versatile, too! Dress them up with a lacey LBD or down with some distressed denim, you will look flawless either way! If you can afford them, that is. $995 is not exactly pocket money.
Valentino Rockstud T-Strap High Heel Pumps, $995 || Nordstrom
Also available at Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, Barneys, Net-A-Porter, Intermix, Forward by Elyse Walker, Farfetch, Selfridges, Harrods, MyTheresa, Vestiaire Collective, The RealReal.
Style Bloggers Love Valentino
Various personal style bloggers such as Arielle Charnas (Something Navy), Negin Mirsalehi and Blair Eadie (Atlantic-Pacific) have been spotted wearing Valentino Rockstud T-Strap Pumps.
Nina Armando Kelsie Studded High Heel Pumps
Update (04/28/2019): Spotted yet another fabulous and super close Valentino Rockstud pump dupe today! It's the Kelsie by Nina Armando, it retails for AUD $249 and comes in either nude/black, red or off-white leather. Plus it's also available in the kitten heel version (Kelsie II). What do you think? Hot or not?

Mix No. 6 Liraven Studded T-Strap High Heel Pumps
Update (09/18/2018): OMG-OMG-OMG! I think I've just found my favorite Valentino Rockstud dupe for under $50! It's the Liraven pump by Mix No. 6, it looks a lot like the pricey real deal (with one extra strap), comes in black or nude faux patent leather and costs only $49.99. Steal deal alert! Be sure to grab your pair ASAP because I'm sure these designer dupe darlings will sell out quickly!

Also available at Amazon, DSW (CA).
Kaitlyn Pan Pointed Toe Studded Slingback High Heel Pumps
Update (09/18/2018): Favorites first! My personal fave Valentino Rockstud dupe comes from Kaitlyn Pan and I think you'll have a hard time finding better and more spot-on Valentino look-alikes than the ones they have to offer. I've been following Kaitlyn Pan's product catalog for several months now and they have hands down *the* best-looking designer dupes I've seen in a very long time. Sure, these $113.99 heels are not the cheapest Valentino dupes around, but look at the 165 customer reviews raving about their Valentino look for less heels (make sure to also check out the customer's own photos) and you'll know this money will be a smart investment as you'll get a good high-quality dupe that will last you for a while. And did I mention these Rockstud knockoffs come in 19 colors? I simply want them all!

Dune London Catelyn Studded T-Bar Pumps
Update (09/07/2018): How cute are these Valentino Rockstud inspired heels by Dune London? They cost
$125 (now on sale for $72) and come in either nude/black or nude/nude leather.

Siren Adora T-Strap Stud Pointy-Toe Pumps
Update (10/25/2017): Discovered another gorgeous and super spot-on Valentino Rockstud dupe from Australia! Check out these awesome studded look-alike pumps by Siren! So close to the real deal, right? Available in black, white, red and nude for $199.95 AUD. Absolutely love these!
Siren Adora T-Strap Stud Pointy-Toe Pumps, $199.95 AUD || Siren
Also available at Styletread, The Iconic.
Pink Inc Saint Studded T-Strap High Heel Pumps
Update (05/13/2017): Came across these fabulous and spot-on Valentino Rockstud dupes by Pink Inc today. They come in various colors and uppers, cost $199.95 AUD (approx. $150 USD) and also come in a low heel version. Love, love, love these!
Pink Inc Saint Studded T-Strap High Heel Pumps, $199.95 AUD || The Iconic
Also available at Myer (kitten heel version).
Jessica Simpson Dameera Studded T-Strap Pumps
Update (05/13/2017): Also discovered these Valentino inspired mid-heel pumps by Jessica Simpson which look like they could be a rebranded version of the BCBGeneration/Sole Society pumps. They cost $69.99 and come in the cutest colors! Total steal deal alert!
Jessica Simpson Dameera Studded T-Strap Pumps, $69.99 || DSW
Also available at Stein Mart.
Sole Society Tiia Studded T-Strap Heels
Update (12/05/2016): Just found out that Sole Society restocked the Tiia heel in both black and nude patent, so if you missed out on these fab Valentino Rockstud dupes the first time round, now's your second chance to snag these pretty pumps. You might recognize these studded t-strap heels by Sole Society because we have already featured them in the Valentino Rockstud Kitten Heels Real vs. Steal post a while back. That's because they look like a hybrid between the 4 inch Rockstud and the kitten heel version and could work as a look for less alternative for either of the Rockstuds. And at $69.95 they're quite affordable, too! Score!
Sole Society Tiia Studded T-Strap Heels, $69.95 || Sole Society
Also available at Nordstrom, QVC.
BCBGeneration Darron Studded Strappy Slingback Pumps
Update (12/05/2016): Darron by BCBGeneration is yet another fabulous Valentino Rockstud alternative which costs $69.95 and comes in various colors and uppers including a gorgeous leopard version. Get this one while it's still available!
BCBGeneration Darron Studded Strappy Slingback Pumps, $69.95 || DSW
Also available at eBay & Amazon.
Arturo Chiang Gracen Pointy Toe Studded Pumps
Another fabulous Valentino Rockstud alternative are these studded t-strap pumps by Arturo Chiang which come in various colors including black, nude, red, navy and gold. The heel on these is half an inch shorter than the real deal and they're not quite as spot-on as the Kaitlyn Pan version, but they do happen to be cheaper and are also made of genuine leather, so that's quite a steal deal if you ask me. A couple of sizes are already out of stock, so you better hurry if you find yourself fancying a pair.
Arturo Chiang Gracen Pointy Toe Studded Pumps, $59.99 || Dillard's
Royou Yiuoer Studded T-Strap Pointed-Toe High Heel Pumps
Here's another super spot-on Valentino Rockstud dupe for you! It's by a brand called Royou Yiuoer which obviously is a pretty bad word play on Roger Vivier and is most likely an Asian brand. The quality of these Valentino dupes looks pretty decent as does the price of $49.99 for genuine leather pumps, but it's a relatively new brand to me and the shoes have received only one customer review yet (which gives them 5 stars though), so that's why I'll recommend this one with reservation. Order at your own risk! You can choose between 13 beautiful colors and uppers!
Royou Yiuoer Studded T-Strap Pointed-Toe High Heel Pumps, $49.99 || Amazon
Loslandifen Studded T-Strap PU High Heel Pumps
If you're on a tight budget and need a cheap Valentino fix, these Rockstud look-alike PU heels by Loslandifen might do the trick for you. The quality of these is nothing to get all too excited about, but they look like the real deal, are less than $30 and come in a variety of beautiful colors.
Loslandifen Studded T-Strap PU High Heel Pumps, $28.60 || Amazon
Kensie Fizzia Studded T-Strap Heels
OK, last up are these loosely Valentino inspired t-strap suede heels by Kensie. If you like the design concept of the Rockstuds, but don't want an obvious Valentino dupe, these fall-ready heels might be a great alternative.
Kensie Fizzia Studded T-Strap Heels, $24.99 || Amazon

I Will Make It
I'm afraid I will end up in the same situation I was in ten years ago: single mom, struggling to pay the bills, heat shut off for non-payment, eating stupid donuts from the food bank. I wonder what I am going to do, in a very broad sense. Lots of questions. But then I am also proud of myself because I know I can do it. I will figure out how to fix the broken ceiling fan, and how to repair the drywall behind the washer. I will figure out how to do whatever needs to be done, just like I used to do before I met him. I'll take my kids camping in the summertime, just like we used to do, and I will go back with my children and climb that little mountain and hike up that waterfall and conquer every other summit placed before me.

Hi Lyn:
I just came across your blog a couple days ago and was overwhelmed by your courage and honesty. You will rise above these circumstances and come out even stronger. All the best to you!

I think it was Eleanor Roosevelt that said "A woman is like a tea bag. You never know how strong she is until she gets into hot water."
It is true but more than this YOU never know how strong you are until you have been tested. You can cope with this becaus you know you can. Self belief is everything and it can be the most powerful thing you have.

I think it's great that you continue to take care of YOU. My doctor once told me "the best way to take care of your kids is to take care of yourself!" HOW TRUE! It sounds like you have alot on your plate and I admire how you just keep on going! Keep it up!!

Hi Lyn,
I have to jump on the bandwagon here and say that you are an incredible woman with absolutely nothing to worry about. The hardest part about daunting situations is not finding the strength to get through them but managing the fear they can generate in your heart. And, I'm sure you've heard that there is nothing to fear but fear itself. I went through a tough time with my boyfriend (we live together) a few months ago. He actually moved out and I remember sitting on the steps in my house wondering how I would pay for it all. I closed my eyes and imagined the rooms filled with light and music and me dancing in the kitchen cooking as happy as can be. I knew in that moment that I would find a way to keep my house, I would find away to turn my home into a reflection of me, I would find a way to blanket every piece of darkness in my heart with light. I spent the next few days cleaning, packing his things, and dancing to music all the while. :) Dance Lyn - you're free.

Hi Lyn,
Pray to the Lord above, and keep saying (like The Little Train That Could), "I can do it, I can do it". One thing I've learned from my situation, which is so similar to yours, is that no matter whe crosses my path, I can and will survive it. Life never promises to be roses, but we are strong and can overcome the worst of the thorns.

You seem like you a strong woman that can handle anything that comes your way. You give me inspiration. I have been struggling all my life with my weight and I haven't done anything about it. I love reading your journal and I hope to find the strength to a healthy life. Have a great weekend.

Lyn, you are such a rock in this stormy sea that you are going through. You may not see it now but I am a firm believe that these things happen for a reason. I don't know what the future holds as far as the "love department" goes but I will say this. Your kids are so lucky to have a mom like you. When they grow up and find their own way in this world, they are going to know that they have a safe place to come home to and that, my dear lady, is you.
God bless you and I literally mean that, may He really bless you during this time.

Oh Lyn, I'm just now catching up on the events from this week. I'm so sorry that you have to go through this! You have a great attitude and I know you will get through this and overcome. We're all pulling for you. You're in my prayers.

I know you have fear, but every other sentence has something that hints at your strength and determination NOT to get stuck. So optimistic that I KNOW you will come out of this one tough individual - you already are and I think you're writing about it is brave - you have many friends here who care about you! I'll be sending good wishes your way.

good job on the weight loss, Lyn! Obviously, you are not turning to your old nemesis this time! Pat yourself on the back!
As for the rest....Try not to think of all the things that will come along.....in my experience, when you face something as daunting as your husband asking for a divorce, the only thing you can do is.....
Take ONE day at a time.
You only need the stregth and wisdom for today.
Lyn, I do not know where you stand as far as God is concerned, but truly, in all the dark paths we have had to walk in our lives, I can tell you from experience....the Father who loves you will not only walk with you, He will carry you when the path gets too rough.
Just ask.

Hi Lyn,
I'm glad you are sticking to your eating and exercising plan. Making your body healthier will give you the strength to deal with all the emotional demands. You are setting such a good example for your kids, too. Better days are coming!

Since we can't control what the future holds for us, lets have hope that we have learned enough so far from our journeys to know there is ALWAYS another option.
Keep smiling and know that NO ONE can take your strength away.......it is yours........OWN it ;)

Hi Lyn
Just wanted to let you know that the first 12 years of my life were with my father in my life - they were unhappy despite the bills always being paid and living in a beautiful home. Later when my Mum and I were on our own we gave up overseas holidays, I wore old clothes, things needed doing around the house - but they were the HAPPIEST years because Mum was strong and independent and we no longer lived by somebody elses rules. Don't worry about the little things - if the heating is off then have a pyjama party with a million blankets and pillows in the living room. Kids remember the fun stuff, not the struggles. xx

You are getting slammed left and right and you are prevailing. (Kids away for Christmas, husband sabotaging your healthy eating efforts, and husband dropping the d bomb.) Yes, you will make it. You already ARE making it. You help me be stronger. Thank you.

New to this blog and amazed by the commonalities we share.
So remember life is not just one-day-at-a-time, life is in the now.
Breathing in deep and slow through your nose, then slow and pushing out the mouth cycles hormones, makes you feel relaxed, and is better than plugging up your mouth with food.
If you died today and were no longer on this planet, what do you think everyone else would do without you? Not in a sad, gruesome way, but as in an energy shift kind of way.
My views on food changed when I realized that corn syrup is in just about every processed food, including tomato sauces and meats. Watch the movie "King Korn" and you will understand the process of growing the tasteless corn and manufacturing the raw product into a super sweet syrup is one of the biggest wastes of energy in existence. All that work to hook people on their Doritos or crackers much like a drug... no thanks.
Clean, simple, basic unprocessed whole foods. Once you start, the old foods never taste the same, at least not in a nutritious way. Foods can be healing, soulful, and nurture the spirit as well as the body.
No, life is not easy. But it can make you strong. You may not know the path you are traveling on, but trust in the beautiful things. Trust yourself.

Is anyone really in control of their life? Even "normal" people often feel out of control, for various reasons.
I know I just keep plugging along with a flexible plan, hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst.
You're doing good!!
Please let me know if I can do anything............:)

Health in the hills of France in 1876
Health in the hills of France in 1876 was had by all who could walk and sing and have a fine old time in the woods at that point in the French life. That is why we like to say that the clarinet stand could help those who like to sing in the house or in the field since it can help you to hold it and make your life quite a thrill since you do not have to hold the stuff but can have it held there for you and this can make you play a lot more and have more fun too.

Kim Lamar Betts was indicted by a Fulton County, Georgia, Grand Jury for his alleged participation in a scheme involving the fraudulent sales of residential properties in
The charges allege that Betts purchased two residential properties in January and February of 2007 and received kickbacks from proceeds of each sale that were not disclosed to the mortgage lenders. Betts is also charged with misrepresenting that the properties being purchased would be primary residences, when purportedly he never lived at either and had no intention of doing so.
Betts was charged in Fulton County Superior Court with four counts of Residential Mortgage Fraud (O.C.G.A. § 16-8-102). Each count is a felony punishable by up to 10 years imprisonment and a fine of up to $100,000.00.
Assistant Attorney General Greg Lohmeier is prosecuting the case on behalf of the State of
Members of the public should keep in mind that indictments contain only allegations against the individual(s) against whom the indictment is sought. A defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty, and it will be the government's burden at trial to prove the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of the allegations contained in the indictment.

DeVry's Kathy Chabez requests new power of attorney
I don't understand what they need a power of attorney for. I asked for corrections to the draft complaint. I was going to mail it today, but will wait until tomorrow.
I find it quite offensive that they would wait until the LAST day to request the totally unnecessary power of attorney and this is nothing but a delay tactic.
We've already discussed my client's account in great detail and the correspondence is included with the exhibits.
The FTC complaint is about DeVry's credit reporting procedures — NOT my client.
He is one of many former DeVry students whose credit is maliciously destroyed by DeVry and I sure hope that a class action firm sues on behalf of ALL DeVry victims. As of today, the DeVry Experian reporting is unchanged. Looks like they're just wasting my time.
Here's our correspondence:
To: Credit Factors
Attn: Christine Baker
Re: [redacted]
This is in response to a complaint letter on behalf of [redacted]. Upon review, DeVry's legal counsel has noted that we are unable to respond to your letter as the student has not authorized us to do so.
The Limited Power of Attorney document that we have on record for [redacted] expired March 19th, 2009.
The following is DeVry's standard FERPA release form. The student would need to complete the form giving Credit Factors permission for us to release account information.
<<FERPA release.doc>>
The student can fax the signed form to 630.574.1963 or scan the signed form and email it to email@example.com.
Thank you.
Kathy Chabez
Service Center Solutions Manager
DeVry Inc.
My response:
Ms. Chabez,
I forwarded your email to my client. However, my FTC complaint is about the DeVry and Experian credit reporting PROCEDURES to report late payments after accounts became collections and NOT specific to my client.
I wrote on 4/28/09:
- Please submit any corrections within seven (7) days.
I had planned on mailing my complaint to the FTC today, please let my know by tomorrow whether it contains any incorrect statements or conclusions.

If you can overlook the limitations of the Molloy College Art Gallery, a hallway in an administrative building where paintings are occasionally hung, there is a terrific selection of works in "Words Become Pictures." It is a group show looking at the use of words in contemporary art, especially painting, sometimes to enhance the viewer's understanding and sometimes as purely abstract visual symbols.
It is an interesting idea, if not a terribly original one. From the early 20th-century paintings of Picasso and Braque through to contemporary creations by conceptual artists, written language has been a staple in art. But this show concentrates on a particular aspect — the marrying of language and imagery taken from popular culture. So while this show is about the use of language in contemporary art, it is also about appropriation.
Marcus Kenney appropriates canceled checks, newspaper print, glossy magazine images, antique wallpaper and other paper products to create lively, cartoonlike collage paintings of playground scenes. Together they provide a colorful meditation on our throwaway society, but also, perhaps, a commentary on the loss of childhood innocence in a world divided by sectarian conflicts. In one painting a little boy does battle in the schoolyard holding a sword and shield emblazoned with an image of Jesus holding a lamb.
Similarly, Nobu Fukui creates collage paintings with myriad materials, including beads, string, ink, oil paint and popular cultural imagery culled from old newspapers and magazines, including art magazines. In fact, some works are so densely layered that they are a bit like bubbling caldrons of imagery. It is part Pop Art, part potpourri, though the overall choice and arrangement of the materials always seems purposeful.
Language has greater prominence in artworks by Greg Edmondson, Richard Sigmund, Jim Torok and Tjorg Douglas Beer, a core group of artists who best embody the theme of the show. Distinctions between form and content blur in Mr. Edmondson's figure studies made of meandering spirals of text, the end result calling to mind Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man. Mr. Sigmund transforms letters and words into abstract shapes, while Mr. Beer likes to doodle on his canvases.
More conventionally, Mr. Torok combines words and images to create personal illustrations, reminiscent of comic books, that tell a story. Many of them are based on events in the artist's life, like his daily routine working in the studio or the experience of traveling by car back to his childhood home in Indiana. Here language and images work together on the page to enhance our understanding of a complex set of events.Continue reading the main story
Although this capsule survey only scratches the surface of contemporary artists using text, it points up the ways in which traditional distinctions between art forms have begun to shatter at the edges. Are Mr. Torok's works paintings or comic illustrations? How do we define Mr. Fukui's painterly collages? The appearance of words in art is more than just decorative experimentation. It can be a radical act.Continue reading the main story

DEBATE: Should hormonal therapy be used to treat epilepsy? YES! SEE also CON POSITION and COMMENTARY

Hormonal treatment for women with epilepsy can be a useful addition to antiepileptic drugs in the effort to decrease seizures. Although there is a paucity of hard evidence based studies concerning hormonal treatment in catamenial or non-catamenial epilepsy, experience and case reports have been published. Currently there is an ongoing double-blind, placebo controlled study of hormonal treatment for women. The hormone is progesterone and is often given as an injection every third month to cause amenorrhea (Medroxiprogesteron, Depo-Provera). The place of hormonal treatment for epilepsy would be as an addition to AEDs, not as a substitute. One area where hormonal therapy has a practical function is inducing amenorrhea in severely functionally handicapped women to avoid menstruation and also improve seizure control. For other women with refractory epilepsy hormonal control can improve seizure severity or reduce seizures and we await more specific information from the ongoing RCT.

Hi Everyone!
I'm going to take this blog in a new direction. So far I've mainly posted a monthly update of the books I've been reading. Instead I'm going to focus on highlighting the various books and series I've read and am reading in individual blog posts.
I pick my books based upon how I'm feeling and what I'm currently interested in. Hope you like them too!

An advert for the ABC Cinemas' Saturday morning Minors Matinees - this one dates back to October 1972. I remember going quite regularly to Saturday morning pictures at this time. Usually rather noisy affairs with kids being dropped off by parents, and often very rarely in time for the beginning of the screenings. So there'd more than often be a racket all the way through the ABC Minors song sing-along , the shorts, the trailers - and which continued well into the main feature as well!
According to the history books, these kinds of matinees had begun in the early 1920s, and the screenings for young folks continued into the early 1980s. But in reality the audiences had dwindled way before then, as had the amount of cinemas left who had bothered to put on kids matinees. So perhaps that's why the ABC decided to run this promotion?
Some of the special Children's Film Foundation titles which we'd be watching on a Saturday morning are still cherished today - such as 'The Boy Who Turned Yellow', which was made by cinema legends Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger in 1972.
Coincidentally, the film was released the very same year that all those readers of Sandie, Buster and Lion comics had cut out their vouchers and got a seat in their local ABC cinema for just 5 New Pence...
|I spotted this advert in SHOOT! magazine, published by IPC Magazines who were based in Farringdon Street, London EC4.

What it is about mini cherry pies that makes them so much tastier than the regular sized ones? Perhaps they are easier to eat. Or the tiny crust-to-cherry filling ratio is better. Maybe it's the cute factor.
For whatever reason, these mini pies were one of the most popular dishes at my sister's book-themed baby shower last month. I made them using my standby pie crust recipe (seen here and here) and a jar of wild cherry preserves homemade by my aunt in Carlisle, Iowa.
The process for making mini pies is pretty simple as long as you have some biscuit cutters and a mini muffin tin. Here's what I did:
- After rolling the pie crust to 1/4 inch thickness, I used a 2-5/8 inch biscuit cutter to cut the top and bottom crusts.
- Then I placed a bottom crust into each well of a mini-muffin tin, using my fingers to press the crust flat down into the tin.
- I put a 1/2 teaspoon of cherry preserves in each pie and brushed the edges of the bottom crusts with egg wash.
- I placed the top crusts on the filled pies, pinching the crust edges together with my fingers.
- Finally, I used the tip of a paring knife to cut four vent holes in the top of each finished pie before giving them a final brush with egg wash.
- I baked the pies for 35 minutes at 350, until the crust was golden brown.
A full recipe of double crust and 1 cup of cherry jam yielded 32 tiny pies.
This assembly method was effective, but next time I'd like to experiment to get a prettier finished product. Although the pies stayed sealed, I wasn't happy with the fluting effect I got with my bare fingers and the muffin tin, plus the tops of the pies were lumpier than I wanted.
None of the guests at the baby shower complained about the fluting, so I'm not sweating the cosmetics here too much. Still, I'm eager for the next time I have occasion to make these so that can figure out a better way to attach the top crust. Any advice, fellow pastry-obsessives?

Homeless not Worthless
Every day we pass them by. They dodge cars, look for food in the garbage, battle malnutrition and sickness in silence.
Perhaps you can say that their story is the same as any indigent on the street.
But for this set of indigents, there is no government agency dedicated to their welfare (to give them low-cost medical care or provide them with a halfway home) .
They don't vote, they can't speak and their "rights" are still not recognized by most members of society.
And yet their pain and suffering is as real as yours and mine.

How do you go to prom with the perfect gentleman? Take a Tebow cardboard cutout, of course.
Kingsley-Pierson High School senior Rachel Bird tried to get the real thing for her Iowa prom—tweeting at the new New York Jet, contacting his team, too. But no response and no dice. So she did what any normal teenage girl would do in her situation: She printed out a giant photo of him in a suit at Staples and pasted it on a piece of cardboard her mom found in a Dumpster.
Did she go into the gym for the dance with the Tebow arm candy? Yep. "It was awkward," Bird told the Sioux City Journal. "But people asked me to stop for photos during the grand march. He was a cheap date, and he didn't talk much."
Tebow'd-out Jets fans are probably wishing they could say the same thing.

Worked great for me, I was sending templated email from my catalyst app in a matter of minutes (using latest Catalyst stuff.)
Nice work!
I had to change something to get it to worok. I initially got an error in Catalyst::View::Email at around line 124:
if ( my $method = $self->sender->{method} ) {
I had to put the "sender" in curly brackets.
However, although this fixed the undefined reference error, I still can't get emails to be delivered. This may be due to an SMTP problem, since I'm not getting any errors from Catalyst.

Ever see those backyard party pics in your favorite magazines and wonder how you can throw such a perfect assembly of coiffed snacks and beverages? I have the perfect solution. Here is my coveted collection of tips and secrets that will get you there in a snap.
We have a great little yard and impromptu get-togethers seem to be a regular occurrence. After work, after a game, Friday night cards and Sunday afternoon chit chat with the neighbors happens often and is almost always last minute. I used to find myself running out to a corner gourmet shop for cheese and some accompaniments that always cost me a fortune but then I decided to pre-stock my pantry with a couple of go-to items that would make last minute entertaining easy and awesome. What a great concept!
Here's my first secret – I start by perusing the gourmet section at my local HomeSense. Yup, I'm a foodie and am still surprised at the amount of impressive products I can find there. It's always jammed with an assortment of unique, high end items perfect to stock up on and perfect to use in a pinch. The bonus is always the price, a fraction of what I would normally pay at a local gourmet outlet. I needed a couple of staples, perfect to build on with whatever I might have in the fridge at the time. Here's some tips to choose your basics, those items you always want to have on hand:
1. Choose some staple starches. crackers, chips, crisps, anything you can use like a cracker or a flatbread that can be stored. Pick something with a twist; here I chose polenta crisps and corn shortbread.
2. Choose some spreads. Jams, chutneys, pestos, tapenades, etc go a long way. They pair well with your crackers and can be combined with cheeses, fruits and vegetables to create unique bites.
3. Try to choose items that touch different taste buds. Sweet, something salty, and something spicy are a great base for your spreads. These can be combined together or with other items to create multiple combos which is what you are aiming for in your spread.
4. Aim for different textures. Crunchy, soft, spreadable, breakable. These all contribute to making your combos interesting.
5. Grab some interesting beverage flavors to jazz things up. I always have a couple of interesting sparkled waters on hand. These can be mixed with alcohol or just some fruit. I had some blueberries on hand and mixed in some wild thyme flowers for an added twist.
Here I opted for an artichoke pesto, sweet nutty popcorn, an olive tapenade and a spicy sour giardineria to make up my mix. Now you can throw in some items you may have on hand. Cheese, fruit, nuts or breads all work well. You can also throw in a salad or some crunchy vegetables to round things out. The options are limitless but this combo will give you a good basis.
Next you need to be prepared for an easy, impressive presentation. It is shocking how awesome things look when they are out of the package and presented in an array of matching plates or serving pieces. Here are a couple of my killer tips:
1. Think about colour and symmetry. White plates. I have been using a series of white plates for almost everything as of late, they are easy to find and always look good. I have a series of small white snack sized ones. They save on waste as people generally keep their plate instead of opting for a series of napkins and paper pieces that always end up getting left around. And they look good. I bought these little square guys at HomeSense last year and use them for apps, snacks and desserts. Plus they stack and store easily and I can fit a ton of them in the dishwasher. I think I paid about 30 dollars for 16. A steal!
2. Colour – it always looks great to incorporate a splash of colour. Here I found these amazing trays from Colin and Justin at HomeSense and they are a perfect and inexpensive way to add a contemporary feel and splash of colour to whatever I am serving. Flowers, napkins, and accessories will do the trick too, but these trays are a perfect addition to my ready-to-go outdoor entertaining tool kit.
3. Find your space – I have this outdoor furniture piece that coincidentally I also found at HomeSense last year ( I really can't resist a good bargain). This is a small piece that lives in my yard that can hold flowers or lanterns but also acts as a sideboard for a buffet or in this case, snacks and beverages. My trays and plates are pre-picked so they perfectly fit here. You can use a portion of your patio table or a series of side tables too, just have press designated space so you can pre-prepare your set up.
4. Design your space – now that I know I am using my sideboard, I have a set-up prepared that allows for drinks, food and utensils. I've got everything covered.
Thats it! Now your ready for a party that looks good at the drop of a hat. You could use this as a blueprint for drinks and snacks or an appetizer station. Add a main course on the BBQ and some wine and you have a full outdoor dinner party. Awesome!
Shared on Setting For Four
Okay. I attempted something like this over the weekend. It did not look as cool. You gals are amazing.
Also, I am a first time visitor to your blog and am BLOWN away!
What a fabulous display! Thanks for the tips – I will put them to good use if we ever get a warm day of sunshine this summer! Enjoy.

Changing lives with solar microgrids
Haiti is the poorest the country in the western hemisphere. Only 25 per cent of the 10.3 million people in the country have access to electricity. One nonprofit organization is testing a solution that could not only change the lives of the unelectrified in Haiti, but could be a model of how to bring electricity to the 1.2 billion people in the world still living in the dark.
EarthSpark International has built a 93 kW solar-powered microgrid in the small town of Les Anglais (pop. 3,000 in the "downtown" area), which currently supplies clean reliable power to approximately 2,000 people.
Why a Microgrid?
Haiti has more than 30 existing municipal microgrids, but most of them don't work. And even when they do function, they run on diesel and operate just a few hours a day, a few days a week. So EarthSpark's goal was to provide people with 24-hour clean affordable electricity.
EarthSpark began working in Haiti providing people with small solar home systems and solar lanterns, products that are life-changing tools for people without access to grid electricity. But the organization soon realized that those aren't the solutions to which everyone aspires. "To truly unlock economic opportunity, people need access to higher levels of electricity than what a solar home system can provide," Allison Archambault, president of EarthSpark International, told RMI.
"With the right conditions minigrids can provide energy services in a low-cost sweet spot between small levels of energy consumption that can be effectively served by small stand-alone solar systems and traditional grid extension," according to Eric Wanless, a principal in RMI's international practice leading the Sustainable Energy for Economic Development initiative. EarthSpark isn't the only group focusing on microgrids.

Nordhavn 78
Nordhavn adds to its Fleet: 76' Eliana and new 78-footer
Nordhavn's 78-footer: An Ocean-going Entertainer
P.A.E. announces plans for 78-foot yacht
Following up their two latest innovative designs, the N56 Motorsailer and the N75 Expedition Yachtfisher, Pacific Asian Enterprises, Inc., has once again stretched the boundaries of their trawler line with the introduction of the Nordhavn 78, a long-range, contemporary-styled yacht.
The N78 will serve to fulfill the needs of the class of boater who wants the proven ocean-crossing capabilities of a Nordhavn combined with the sleek lines comprised by typical European-style yachts. "This design will appeal to a whole faction of clientele who tend not to prefer the traditional expedition-type look of a Nordhavn," says PAE's vice president, Jim Leishman. "The N78 will evoke a contemporary European feel without losing the dynamic of being a Nordhavn."
Key to the design is the emphasis chief designer Jeff Leishman has placed on outdoor living, starting with the flybridge. The N78's flybridge will feature a Jacuzzi, wetbar, barbecue and a large open deck area perfect for entertaining. Meanwhile, the foredeck – a typical lounging hotspot on most European boats – has been designated the ideal outdoor "chilling space." The cockpit of the N78 has been opened up, too, further enhancing entertaining possibilities.
Another draw of the new 78 is that it better segregates the crew from the owners and their guests. Like the entire Nordhavn product range (with the exception of the N120), the N78 was intended to be operated without a captain. However, Leishman has designed engine room access in the transom so that employed crew can enter the area without impacting company on board.
The new N78 will come equipped with twin engines, have ocean-crossing capabilities with a range of 3,000+ miles and superior fuel efficiency. The interior will feature an updated, modern design aesthetic that includes sumptuous owners' accommodations and two superb guest rooms all with ensuite heads; crew quarters and off-watch quarters.
Although the lines of the N78 will have a European flair, Nordhavn feels the yacht will appeal to international and American markets alike. "The beauty of this design is that it's a Nordhavn, so you've got comfort and confidence while underway, but the benefits will be realized when you're not passagemaking," notes Nordhavn Europe's Philip Roach. "The added elements will really allow you to enjoy your time on board once you've arrived."

Judy Murray OBE and former Welsh National Coach Ellinore Lightbody on stage at Cardiff Met's School of Sport and Health Sciences
Judy Murray OBE recently spoke about her coaching knowledge, expertise and philosophy to students from Cardiff Met's School of Sport and Health Sciences.
Judy was joined on stage by former Welsh National Coach Ellinore Lightbody where they both answered a range of questions from students from across the sporting spectrum at Cardiff Met.
The former British Fed cup team captain also spoke about her sons, Andy and Jamie, both of whom are former world number ones in men's singles and doubles respectively.
Both Judy and Ellinore spoke about their personal coaching philosophies – both believing in the power of play and teaching tennis through fun games.
Judy spoke about her time as Scottish national coach when she invested time in having fun and socialising with the young players – a time when they felt they were more likely to open up to her.
When asked about her ideal supercoach, Judy spoke about Frank Dick, the former British Athletics Federation's Director of Coaching who she says had the biggest influence on her and who taught her that coaches don't have to be experts in all areas.
Judy also spoke about Sir Alex Ferguson who helped her understand the importance of developing mental skills: "Alex Ferguson has been in our corner since 2005 and has been an incredible source of advice and inspiration. He is just so emotionally intelligent – he just gets people."
When asked about the low number of women working as tennis coaches, Judy said: "We're working with the Lawn Tennis Association to create a better career pathway for women. In order for us to bring in more girls to the game, we need more women at entry level."

Open enrollment brings extra revenue for Willis ISD
The Willis independent School District has gained roughly $150,000 in revenue this school year thanks to open enrollment transfer students.
In May, the WISD Board of Trustees approved opening enrollment to non-district students for the 2011-12 school year. It is the only Montgomery County school district to currently offer open enrollment.
"The idea was to maximum our capacity without exceeding capacity," WISD Superintendent Bret Jimerson said.
That meant filling empty seats in classrooms without increasing staff.
Between the 2010-11 and 2011-12 school years, the district gained 28 out-of-district students, according to district documents. Of the 236 enrolled for the 2011-12 school year, 137 are employee children while 99 are non-employee children. The majority of out-of-district students come from Conroe (157), Huntsville (28) and New Waverly (18). While 58 out-of-district students did not return for the 2011-12 school year, 86 students were first-time transfers to WISD for 2011-12, according to district documents.
"It's still kind of early," Jimerson said about low open enrollment numbers. "I didn't expect the first year to be a rush. We're in a county with a lot of great schools.
"It's not a lot, but it's a start."
The district considered interested students' disciplinary history, attendance record and academic record, Jimerson said. No student was turned away. Transportation is not be provided to out-of-district students.
Open enrollment was one way WISD sought to fill the gap after up to $6.6 million in state funding cuts. WISD earns roughly $5,400 a year per student, Jimerson said.
In a move to reduce its financial obligation to the state, Montgomery ISD trustees approved a plan in February 2009 to allow open enrollment for the 2009-10 school year. In doing so, the district would decrease its bill to the state as a property-rich, or "Robin Hood," The Courier previously reported.
"Enrollment was open for a specified amount of time," Gibson said.
Since the 2009-10 school year, the district has had limited open enrollment, meaning only current out-of-district students could re-enroll. No new out-of-district students were allowed to transfer to MISD, Gibson said.
In the last six years, the district's payment to the state has been as high as $2 million, MISD Gibson said. In the last three years, it's been closer to $100,000.
MISD currently has 109 students enrolled through the district's limited open enrollment transfer program, according to information The Courier received through an Open Records Request. The majority of those students live in Conroe (41), Montgomery (39) and Plantersville (13). The district does not identify students as employee children of non employee children.
For the 2010-11 school year, Montgomery ISD had 109 students enrolled through the district's limited open enrollment transfer program, according to information The Courier received through an Open Records Request. The majority of limited open enrollment students in 2010-11 came from Montgomery (55), Conroe (47) and Plantersville (14).
MISD also opened enrollment in 2002, Gibson said.
Splendora ISD closed its open enrollment program in 1997, according to an e-mail from district Spokeswoman Deitra Inkster. SISD, like many districts, allows children of district employees to attend school in the district.

Mr. Lawrence Johnson, President
Steelworkers, AFL-CIO
Local 07-466-L
1083 E 38th Street
Marion, IN 46953 Case Number: ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
LM Number: 043591
Dear Mr. Johnson:
This office has recently completed an audit of Steelworkers, AFL-CIO Local 07-466-L under the Compliance Audit Program (CAP) to determine your organization's compliance with the provisions of the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959 (LMRDA). As discussed during the exit interview with you, Financial Secretary Zac Cook, and Vice President David Weaver on September 27, 2010, the following problems were disclosed during the CAP. The matters listed below are not an exhaustive list of all possible problem areas since the audit conducted was limited in scope.
Recordkeeping Violations
Title II of the LMRDA establishes certain reporting and recordkeeping requirements. Section 206 requires, among other things, that labor organizations maintain adequate records for at least five years by which each receipt and disbursement of funds, as well as all account balances, can be verified, explained, and clarified. As a general rule, labor organizations must maintain all records used or received in the course of union business.
For disbursements, this includes not only original bills, invoices, receipts, vouchers, and applicable resolutions, but also documentation showing the nature of the union business requiring the disbursement, the goods or services received, and the identity of the recipient(s) of the goods or services. In most instances, this documentation requirement can be satisfied with a sufficiently descriptive expense receipt or invoice. If an expense receipt is not sufficiently descriptive, a union officer or employee should write a note on it providing the additional information. For money it receives, the labor organization must keep at least one record showing the date, amount, purpose, and source of that money. The labor organization must also retain bank records for all accounts.
The audit of Local 07-466-L's 2009 records revealed the following recordkeeping violations:
1. General and Credit Card Expenses
Local 07-466-L did not retain adequate documentation for disbursements such as $90.00 paid to an individual for a filing cabinet and $152.00 to a hotel for hall rent. As another example, the May 2009 and July 2009 statements for the local's office supply store credit card account were not on file. Because these two statements were missing, the transactions and itemized purchase details yielding the "Previous Balance" amounts of $129.54 and $256.06 on the June 2009 and August 2009 statements, respectively, could not be identified. Furthermore, credit card slips and itemized receipts for purchases made during the periods covered by the missing statements were not on file.
As noted above, labor organizations must retain original receipts, bills, and vouchers for all disbursements. The president and treasurer (or corresponding principal officers) of your union, who are required to sign your union's LM report, are responsible for properly maintaining union records.
2. Meal Expenses
Local 07-466-L records of meal expenses usually included a very brief handwritten explanation of the union business conducted but generally did not include the names and titles of the persons incurring the restaurant charges. For example, the supporting documentation for check |||||||||||||, paid to a restaurant in the amount of $55.19, consisted of a receipt that showed that four guests were at the meal and a statement for the local's account with the restaurant, on which the note "Board Meeting Proposal" had been written.
Union records of meal expenses must include written explanations of the union business conducted and the full names and titles of all persons who incurred the restaurant charges. Also, the records retained must identify the names of the restaurants where the officers or employees incurred meal expenses.
3. Reimbursed Auto Expenses
You and Recording Secretary Quentin Sanders each received reimbursement for business use of your personal vehicles for travel to a Steelworkers International Union conference in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in December 2009. Each of you received two checks, the first for $406.05 (checks 28369 and 28370) and the second for $204.05 (checks 28375 and 28376). The Salary, Lost Time and Expenses Vouchers for the first checks showed that $204.05 of their total amounts covered mileage to the conference. For the second checks, however, a search of the files revealed neither Salary, Lost Time and Expenses Vouchers nor any other supporting documentation giving any information about the disbursements other than to describe them as being for "Travel." Ultimately, the expense paid by the second check was determined to be mileage for the return trip back to Marion, Indiana, since the first check had included only one-way mileage.
The union must maintain records which identify the dates of travel, locations traveled to and from, and number of miles driven. The record must also show the business purpose of each use of a personal vehicle for business travel by an officer or employee who was reimbursed for mileage expenses.
4. Information Not Recorded in Meeting Minutes
During the audit, you, Mr. Cook, Mr. Weaver, and Treasurer Douglas Stepler advised that the specific dollar amounts of any travel-related expenses are brought to the general membership and approved before travel occurs. Moreover, the United Steelworkers By-Laws for Local Unions, dated July 2006, at Article V, Section 5(c), states, in part:
All money paid out by the Local Union from its treasury must be approved by the members at a Local Union meeting. Under no circumstances shall Officers or members pay bills without authorization by a Local Union meeting…
However, none of the 2009 meeting minutes provided to OLMS showed the general membership's approval of disbursements related to your and Mr. Sanders' travel to the Steelworkers International Union conference in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in December 2009. The only possible mention of the trip was the fragmented note of "Dec 9-13th Pittbrg" in minutes dated October 20, 2009.
As I pointed out at the exit interview, a second set of minutes provided to OLMS may have also contained a reference to the December 2009 trip. These minutes were dated "October 20, 2008" and included a single sentence about a December trip: "The union agreed to send Loni Johnson and Quentin Sanders Pittsburg for Civil Rights Conference to be held on Dec 9-13-200X." The digit indicated by the 'X' was hard to read but was either an eight or a nine. Although more explicit than the note made in the 2009 minutes, even this reference did not state the specific amount of disbursements authorized for the trip. Also problematic was that comparison of this set of minutes to the 2009 minutes – the topics, their order and the discussions about them – strongly indicated that the 2008 minutes were actually an incorrectly-dated duplicate of the 2009 minutes. This possibility was further supported by the fact that in 2008, October 20 was the third Monday of the month, as opposed to the third Tuesday, when the regular monthly membership meetings are normally held.
5. Lack of Salary Authorization
Local 07-466-L did not maintain records to verify that the salaries it reports in Item 24 (All Officers and Disbursements to Officers) of the Form LM-3 are the authorized amounts and therefore are correctly reported. The union must keep a record, such as meeting minutes, to show the current salaries authorized by the entity or individual in the union with the authority to establish salaries.
Based on your assurance that Local 07-466-L will retain adequate documentation in the future, OLMS will take no further enforcement action at this time regarding the above violations.
Reporting Violations
A violation of LMRDA Section 201(b), which requires labor organizations to file annual financial reports accurately disclosing their financial condition and operations, occurred in that Local 07-466-L did not file its Labor Organization Annual Report Form LM-3 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 by the statutory deadline of March 31, 2010.
On the day of the exit interview, I returned the financial records and provided you with blank forms and instructions. You and the other officers at the exit interview promised to complete the report and mail it to me by the end of this week, October 1, 2010.
Based on your assurance that Local 07-466-L will file the delinquent report very shortly, OLMS will take no further enforcement action at this time regarding the above violation.
Other Issues
Four pieces of information that must be maintained to adequately support the payment of lost wage claims are: the date of each instance of lost wages, the number of hours lost on each date, the applicable rate of pay, and a description of the union business conducted. Local 07-466-L's records of lost wage claims were generally found to contain this required minimum information.
Nonetheless, because of the complexity of the contract provisions regarding overtime earnings, and, hence, the impact of lost time on such earnings, slight modifications in the presentation of this information would enhance the usefulness of the records. First, consider requiring lost time claimants to identify not only the date on which overtime pay was lost but also, when applicable, the date before that when the original lost time was incurred, which caused the loss of overtime pay for subsequent hours worked. Second, separating the elements of the pay rate(s) in effect for any particular lost time claim should help clarify why a particular dollar amount is claimed. The elements would consist of the base hourly rate and the multiplier – 1 for basic straight time, 1.5 for the "time and a half" of overtime, and 0.5 for when a loss of hours due to union business earlier in the week causes fewer hours later in the week, such as on the sixth day, to be paid at the time and a half rate. For all claims, whether or not involving overtime, fuller descriptions of the union business conducted or its purpose would help ensure confidence in the validity of the claim when later reviewed. And, it is highly recommended that submission of the related time card(s) be an enforced prerequisite for the payment of lost time wages.
During the exit interview, I provided a sample of an expense voucher Local 07-466-L may use to facilitate its compliance with the recordkeeping requirements for payment of lost wages and other expenses.
I want to extend my personal appreciation to Steelworkers, AFL-CIO Local 07-466-L for the cooperation and courtesy extended during this compliance audit. I strongly recommend that you make sure this letter and the compliance assistance materials provided to you are passed on to future officers. If we can provide any additional assistance, please do not hesitate to call.

I'm out of town for a few days, and likely posting light, but I had to put in a short "happy birthday" to actor Bruce Davison!
Davison, who has a distinguished air about him that screams, "upper echelon", is often pegged for roles as academics, doctors or politicians — both good and bad. He played the evil, mutie-hating Senator Kelly in X-Men, and the do-good philanthropist on the remake of Knight Rider. He did an excellent, though brief, job as the unstable Dr. Silberman on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and has guest-starred on shows as diverse as Seinfeld, Battlestar Galactica, and Lost. I've always been particularly fond of his role as the increasingly deranged Dr. Stegman on the surprisingly good Stephen King miniseries Kingdom Hospital.
One performance of his, however, has been burned into my brain from long before I knew who he was. One of his earlier roles was in the made-for-TV movie The Wave (1981), in which he plays high-school teacher Ben Ross, who is apparently turning his students into a new wave of Nazi idealogues.
Best wishes to Davison on his birthday for a long and successful career!

So while kicking the noun to defecate out of somebody's noun donkey doesn't sound nearly as bad and doesn't have the same ring to it, it will confuse most seven year olds, and that confusion might be worth it if you don't want to have to cover those younger ears when ever you want to talk about You-Know-Who. But before you go out and start talking about defecate, donkeys, and female dogs maybe you should just go wash your mouth out with 72 bars of soap.
Speaking of things that young kids do with a dictionary my favorite prank was to tell people that they needed to go look up "handsome", "polite", or "clean" in the dictionary because they would find their picture next to the listing. To properly prepare for this gag you do need to put your best seven year old art skills to the test to create a proper likeness of your prank target that would look like the popular presidential portraits and remember to label if your artistry isn't up to par. I found that post-it notes work well for this prank because you can attach them to the page and the adhesive won't tear the page or leave smudges when they need to be removed. Granted, I didn't put the post-its next to those specific words and nobody actually would look up those words I did tell them to look up, but it is the though that counts.

For chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) sufferers, being out of breath is about much more than fitness. But with wearable ventilation technology, COPD sufferers get a much better chance at successful and ongoing breathing.
Word hit the American College of Chest Physicians' annual meeting, CHEST 2015, about the use of wearable ventilation technology improving patient outcomes. The results of a study involving these tools were presented in a session titled "Health Care Utilization and Respiratory Health Status in Patients with Chronic Respiratory Insufficiency Following Addition of a Portable Non-Invasive Ventilator to the Treatment Regimen." It took 16 oxygen-dependent patients regarded as stable, but with anywhere from moderate to severe COPD using a Non-Invasive Open Ventilation (NIOV) system from Irvine, California's Breathe Technologies.
The study discovered that by wearing an NIOV, COPD patients could reduce a variety of unpleasant inputs, like time spent in doctor's offices, in the emergency room, or in the admission process at a hospital. Those with COPD could also better manage the conditions alone, and that meant cost savings.
The study found that while office visit costs went up slightly, about nine percent—likely due to the fitting and maintenance of the NIOV—there were major cost savings afoot. Emergency room visit costs fell 68 percent, and that represented the lowest decline. Hospital days fell 83 percent, while hospital intensive care days fell 88 percent. Mechanical ventilation costs were almost eliminated, falling a staggering 96 percent.
It's not hard to spot the trend here; with all those inputs falling, so too do costs incurred by the system. If upfront service costs fall, then so will health insurance costs and other costs found at the hospital level. While there's a small uptick in doctor's office costs, that's comparatively minor against the huge savings found in the rest of the system. It's really a refinement of a concept running for some time now; the more that patients can manage issues unaided, the less dependent said patients are on the system. With the system less burdened, the system can run at lower expenses and save everyone cash. Whether it's home-based monitoring with wearable devices or just getting more exercise, the less contact with the system, the more savings are realized.
It's not as black-and-white as "Breathe NIOV systems will save us all money on our insurance," but the idea is a good one to start with. A dollar here and a dollar there can add up to real savings, and the healthcare system in the United States—and beyond—could certainly benefit from savings. Wearable healthcare devices like ventilation systems could be just the thing to get there.

Giants' Nate Solder Jersey says there is 'tremendous' pressure to fix OL
Nate Solder has a long way to go until his new team catches up to the Patriot Way.
I stepped into a solidified system, Solder added. People have been a part of that program for a long time and they kind of just taught me the way. And when I came here, it's new coaches, a Bruce Bowen Jersey lot of different players from all over the place…so really just trying to kind of find our identity, and trying to define what that is rather than just be set in stone of what it was.
