House panel ups ante for fusion.
For the Office of Fusion Energy Sciences (OFES), which funds primarily magnetic confinement fusion, the Committee recommended $295 million, an increase of $21 million over FY 2005 and $5.6 million more than the President requested. Furthermore, the Committee directed that cuts the President proposed to the domestic fusion effort in order to provide funding for construction of the International Themonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) be restored to the domestic program. The Committee issued a stern warning to the Executive Branch regarding such a policy saying, "As in previous years, the Committee directs the Department (of Energy) to fund the U. S. share of ITER through additional resources rather than through reductions to domestic fusion research or to other Office of Science programs. If the Department does not follow this guidance in its fiscal year 2007 budget submission, the Committee is prepared to eliminate all U.S. funding for the ITER project in the future."
For the inertial confinement fusion program, funded as part of the Department's National Nuclear Security Agency (NNSA), the Committee recommended $541 million, an increase of $6 million over FY 2005 and $81 million above the President's request. The Committee restored funds the Department planned to cut from the Naval Research Laboratory and University of Rochester laser programs and from efforts to develop high average power drivers which are essential for energy applications.
The complete text of the Committee's report is provided below:
Fusion Energy Sciences
The Committee recommendation for fusion energy sciences is $295,155,000, an increase of $5,605,000 over the budget request but with a significant redirection of funds as outlined below. The Committee is concerned that two-thirds of the proposed increase for the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) would be achieved by reducing domestic fusion research and operating time on domestic use facilities. Under the proposed fiscal year 2006 budget, operating time at the three major fusion research facilities (DIII-D, Alcator C-Mod, and NSTX) would be reduced from 48 weeks in fiscal year 2005 to a total of only 17 weeks in fiscal year 2006. If the United States expects to be a serious contributor to international fusion research in general and to ITER in particular, the Nation needs to maintain strong domestic research programs and user facilities to train the next generations of fusion scientists and engineers. The Department's proposal to increase support for ITER at the expense of domestic fusion research is unwise and unacceptable. Such an approach is not only short-sighted, but inconsistent with prior Congressional guidance. Therefore, the Committee directs the Department to utilize $29,900,000 of funding proposed for ITER and the additional $5,605,000 to restore U.S.-based fusion funding to fiscal year 2005 levels as follows: $7,300,000 for high performance materials for fusion; $14,305,000 to restore operation of the three major user facilities to fiscal year 2005 operating levels; $7,200,000 for intense heavy ion beams and fast ignition studies; $5,100,000 for compact stellarators and small-scale experiments; and $1,600,000 for theory. As in previous years, the Committee directs the Department to fund the U.S. share of ITER through additional resources rather than through reductions to domestic fusion research or to other Office of Science programs. If the Department does not follow this guidance in its fiscal year 2007 budget submission, the Committee is prepared to eliminate all U.S. funding for the ITER project in the future.
Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) Ignition and High Yield
The Committee recommends $541,418,000 for the inertial confinement fusion and high yield program, which maintains the program at the current year level and is an increase of $81,000,000 over the budget request.
The Committee supports the Department1s response to the Congressional concern expressed last year regarding the fiscal year 2005 budget request proposed schedule slip to the program goal of ignition demonstration in 2010 for the National Ignition Facility (NIF). The Committee continues to view ignition demonstration as the primary benchmark for success in the program. The Committee commends the Department's effort to projectize the ICF program consistent with DOE Order 413.3, and to manage the ignition, diagnostic, cryogenic and experimental programs as projects incorporating a work breakdown structure to track scope, cost, and schedule milestones, within a project management control system. The Committee directs the NNSA to report quarterly on the milestone cost and schedule variance within the respective experimental programs on progress toward the NIF 2000 rebase-lined program.
The Committee recommendation includes a total of $69,623,000 for Facility Operations and Target Production, of which $15,000,000 shall be available to accelerate target fabrication. The Committee believes that a target that meets all the NIF ignition criteria should be produced and characterized in a cryogenic environment. NNSA should provide the Committee with a detailed schedule by March 2006 to accomplish this requirement. Should fabrication of the new beryllium target prove too high risk to ensure meeting the NIF milestones, NNSA is required to provide the Committee with the alternative that will be pursued in order to keep to the 2010 ignition schedule. The Committee recommendation includes $25,000,000 to continue development of high average power lasers and supporting science and technology within the Inertial Fusion Technology program line; within that amount, the Committee includes $2,000,000 for the high density matter laser at the Ohio State University Technology Park. The Committee recommendation includes $15,000,000 for the Naval Research Laboratory, and $71,558,000 for the University of Rochester's Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE), an increase of $26,000,000 over the budget request. The LLE is the principal research and experimentation laser facility for NNSA Science-based Stockpile stewardship activities. The Committee increase includes an additional $4,000,000 for OMEGA operations to provide additional shots to support the ICF campaign goal of an ignition demonstration in 2010 and an additional $22,000,000 to accelerate the OMEGA Extended Performance capability project, a four beam super-high-intensity, high-energy laser facility to support the nation's stockpile stewardship program. The Committee notes that the University of Rochester is providing $21 million for the building to house the OMEGA EP.
The Committee recommendation provides $141,913,000 for construction of the National Ignition Facility (NIF), the same as the budget request.

GOP governors and Obama at impasse over Medicaid
Sebelius says there is no end of tweaks that states can make to save money, from imposing modest copayments to reworking pharmacy benefits. She has been dispatching special teams of Medicaid bean counters to help states identify potential savings.
But her Republican predecessor, Mike Leavitt, says that's just a "charm offensive."
Q: What will Obama's new health care law do to state Medicaid costs?
A: It will raise them, since Medicaid is expected to cover about half of the more than 30 million people who would gain health insurance under the law starting in 2014.
Advocates for the poor say states still get a bargain. Washington will cover about 95 percent of the cost for those who would be newly entitled to Medicaid: childless adults with incomes just over the poverty line. States will save money elsewhere because those people won't turn up in emergency rooms without the means to pay. Over time, the federal share would drop to 90 percent.
Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, a Democrat, says the problem isn't Medicaid costs in isolation, but health care costs in general. Massachusetts pioneered the approach that Obama took to expand coverage, but now Patrick is trying to move a cost-control measure through the legislature.
Q: Republican governors say there's just too much federal micromanagement driving up costs. Are they wrong?
A: Even Obama seems to agree that they have a point.
Utah Gov. Gary Herbert says he had to go all the way to the president to get approval for an idea that would save about $6 million a year in his state.
Herbert said that state officials wanted to switch from paper letters to e-mail to communicate with beneficiaries for less money. If all states followed suit, it could save $600 million. But Medicaid bureaucrats in Washington raised obstacle after obstacle. Finally, they turned Utah down - via e-mail.
"We couldn't understand why we were getting a denial," said Herbert.
A frustrated Herbert pitched Obama directly when the governors met the president Monday at the White House.
Within a few hours, Utah got the go-ahead.

Yellowing Grout-New bathroom
[This message has been edited by AngeloS (edited January 12, 2004).]
I have a similar yellow gunk that accumulates on my cold-water pipe that runs across my basement bathroom ceiling when I take a shower. Condensation sits there and a little mold or mildew grows, I think. From my painted steel pipes, it wipes right off.
For you, you'll want to be able to turn to regular bleach to remove mold or mildew if that is what it is. But bleach seems to remove most sealers. Once your grout is sealed, far less mold or mildew will grow since the grout won't actually get wet and will dry as fast as your ceramic tile.
There is an invisible and permanent sealer for your grout that can be cleaned with bleach without hurting the seal. A clever search will find it. If you have trouble finding it, let me know.

This is the first of a two-part industry trends and perspectives series looking at how to learn from cloud outages (read part II here).
In case you missed it, there were some public cloud outages during the recent Christmas 2012-holiday season. One incident involved Microsoft Xbox (view the Microsoft Azure status dashboard here) users were impacted, and the other was another Amazon Web Services (AWS) incident. Microsoft and AWS are not alone, most if not all cloud services have had some type of incident and have gone on to improve from those outages. Google has had issues with different applications and services including some in December 2012 along with a Gmail incident that received covered back in 2011.
For those interested, here is a link to the AWS status dashboard and a link to the AWS December 24 2012 incident postmortem. In the case of the recent AWS incident which affected users such as Netflix, the incident (read the AWS postmortem and Netflix postmortem) was tied to a human error. This is not to say AWS has more outages or incidents vs. others including Microsoft, it just seems that we hear more about AWS when things happen compared to others. That could be due to AWS size and arguably market leading status, diversity of services and scale at which some of their clients are using them.
Btw, if you were not aware, Microsoft Azure is more than just about supporting SQLserver, Exchange, SharePoint or Office, it is also an IaaS layer for running virtual machines such as Hyper-V, as well as a storage target for storing data. You can use Microsoft Azure storage services as a target for backing up or archiving or as general storage, similar to using AWS S3 or Rackspace Cloud files or other services. Some backup and archiving AaaS and SaaS providers including Evault partner with Microsoft Azure as a storage repository target.
When reading some of the coverage of these recent cloud incidents, I am not sure if I am more amazed by some of the marketing cloud washing, or the cloud bashing and uniformed reporting or lack of research and insight. Then again, if someone repeats a myth often enough for others to hear and repeat, as it gets amplified, the myth may assume status of reality. After all, you may know the expression that if it is on the internet then it must be true?

Have AWS and public cloud services become a lightning rod for when things go wrong?
Here is some coverage of various cloud incidents:
- Huffington post coverage of February 2011 Google Gmail incident
- Microsoft Azure coverage by Allthingsd.com

The above are a small sampling of different stories, articles, columns, blogs, perspectives about cloud services outages or other incidents. Assuming the services are available, you can Google or Bing many others along with reading postmortems to gain insight into what happened, the cause, effect and how to prevent in the future.
Do these recent incidents show a trend of increased cloud outages? Alternatively, do they say that the cloud services are being used more and on a larger basis, thus the impacts become more known?
Perhaps it is a mix of the above, and like when a magnetic storage tape gets lost or stolen, it makes for good news or copy, something to write about. Granted there are fewer tapes actually lost than in the past, and far fewer vs. lost or stolen laptops and other devices with data on them. There are probably other reasons such as the lightning rod effect given how much industry hype around clouds that when something does happen, the cynics or foes come out in force, sometimes with FUD.
Similar to traditional hardware or software based product vendors, some service providers have even tried to convince me that they have never had an incident, lost or corrupted or compromised any data, yeah, right. Candidly, I put more credibility and confidence in a vendor or solution provider who tells me that they have had incidents and taken steps to prevent them from recurring. Granted those steps might be made public while others might be under NDA, at least they are learning and implementing improvements.
As part of gaining insights, here are some links to AWS, Google, Microsoft Azure and other service status dashboards where you can view current and past situations.

Disclosure: I am a customer of AWS for EC2, EBS, S3 and Glacier as well as a customer of Bluehost for hosting and Rackspace for backups. Other than Amazon being a seller of my books (and my blog via Kindle) along with running ads on my sites and being an Amazon Associates member (Google also has ads), none of those mentioned are or have been StorageIO clients.

Cultural, regulatory, environmental, political and economic (CREPE) conditions over the past decade are creating cross-industry solution spaces that require processes and technologies from both the Internet of Things (IoT), and Data Management and Analytics (DMA). These solution spaces are evolving into Sensor Analytics Ecosystems (SAE) that represent significant new opportunities for organizations of all types. Public Utilities throughout the world, providing electricity, natural gas and water, are pursuing SmartGrid initiatives that represent one of the more mature examples of SAE. We have s...

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons. In the IoT vision, every new "thing" - sensor, actuator, data source, data con...

The Internet of Things is tied together with a thin strand that is known as time. Coincidentally, at the core of nearly all data analytics is a timestamp. When working with time series data there are a few core principles that everyone should consider, especially across datasets where time is the common boundary. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Scott, Director of Enterprise Strategy & Architecture at MapR Technologies, discussed single-value, geo-spatial, and log time series data. By focusing on enterprise applications and the data center, he will use OpenTSDB as an example t...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets. According to a recent IDG Research Services Survey this rate of traffic will only grow. What's driving t...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade.

More Places Like Tender Greens, Mrs. Winston's?
- yamyampang May 5, 2008 05:55 PM
Hi folks, I recently re-located to LA from the Bay Area. I'm seven months pregnant and looking for good, well-sourced food (preferably organic vegetables, grass-fed meats, etc.) to feed me and my baby. I live on the Westside, near Culver City and would like to find more lunch and dinner places that have the same pricing/vibe/food options as places like Tender Greens and Mrs. Winston's. Have I already found the hidden gems of the area, or are there other great places I should hit? Thanks in advance for suggestions...
There's a new place in Beverly Hills opening later this month called Greenleaf Gourmet Chopshop that sounds like what you're looking for. It's at 9671 Wilshire Blvd.
The Point has a similar vibe and do-it-yourself salads.
Akasha near Tender Greens is all-natural but more of a full-service restaurant, not a salad place.
I don't think vegan and raw food are that great for pregnant women, but I've heard Leaf Cuisine is good.
I doubt that very many of these places will have grass fed beef though, it's pretty unusual to find in L.A. restaurants.
re: NAspy
Great, thanks for the suggestions! Here's a link to more info about The Point, based on a quick search. http://www.laweekly.com/eat+drink/fir...
Might be helpful for others like me who have never heard of it but want to try it ASAP.
Also, it's not particularly healthy, but if I were pregnant, I bet I'd be all over Meltdown, and their food is good quality. I did a little further searching for grass fed beef (other than the hot dogs at Let's Be Frank) and could not turn up even one restaurant anywhere in L.A. that had it. Does anyone know of any at all?
re: Chowpatty
I just ate at a little sandwich stand today in north part of Manhattan Beach called Porto surf cafe. They serve philly cheese steak sandwiches made with grass fed beef. They also have free range chicken sandwiches and salads. Nice homemade potato chips too.
In addition to the other suggestions, there's also BASIC BITES on Beverly Drive in Beverly Hills.
Congradulations yamyampang! I recently had a baby too & really enjoyed Urth Caffe's 'urth caffe salad' AND they deliver! (for a fee) I was on bedrest & if it wasn't for them I don't think I would have gotten anything healthy.
re: a_and_w
Thanks for the continued suggestions! It's nice to feel like I have more choices now.
I hadn't heard of Let's Be Frank and that's pretty close by, so I'll have to stop by there for sure. I looked on their website and I guess they sell to a place called Food on Pico that, it turns out, serves organic egg breakfasts and sandwiches with grassfed/free-range meats, so that's yet another place.
Salades Du Provence is a bit out of my geographical area, but the menu looks great so I'll plan on trying it when I happen to be in the neighborhood.
Looking forward to trying Basic Bites, Lemon Moon, and Urth Caffe! (Have to find out if the cheeses at Meltdown are pasteurized before I can drag my pregnant self over there...)
re: yamyampang
Also M Cafe de Chaya is now open in downtown next to Pacifico's if youre over in the Helms area I'd recommend that over before The Point.
I'd also throw in a recommendation for Metro Diner on Washington Place for healthy diner-type food.
re: Discokill
Yum. I went to M Cafe de Chaya yesterday and had a great sandwich. The club sandwich with tempeh bacon and the side of kale with spicy peanut sauce. The two items didn't really go together that well, but both were delicious separately. I'll definitely go back. Thanks!

Allianz Insurance Review
Insurance Review: Allianz Insurance Reviewed by Insurance Fort
Rating: 5/5 on
Insurance Company Description: Allianz is an Australia owned insurance company that operates throughout Australia as well as New Zealand. There are more than 3300 staffs serving over 2 million policyholders. Allianz is a leady private workers compensation insurer that is hoping to reduce emission by 20% by 2012.
Covers: Home insurance, content insurance, motor insurance, boat insurance, travel insurance, life insurance, CTP
Pros: Allianz has been highly complimented for offering cheap and affordable insurance to their customers. Vehicles are, in most cases, valued right on the upper-limit of the valuation range despite it had traveled higher than the average kilometers.
Staffs in their customer support line as well as in branches are known to be nice, caring and passionate about serving. It is possible to receive a comparative quote and sign up for a policy on the same day.
Overall: Allianz is a famous and well-trusted insurance brand that has been serving Australians for years. Because of such exposure, it is impossible to satisfy every customer. If you are wanting a company that is less more warm and no as busy, then maybe Allianz is not the right insurer for you.
Getting the right insurance company with the right price that suits you can be hard. This is why before you sign up for anything from Allianz that you have read the Terms and Conditions clearly, including the small fine prints and policies. If there are anything that you dont understand make you have call the customer support line for help or contact a private insurance adviser of your choice.
Insurance Fort believes that Allianz Insurance is a company worth purchasing insurance from.

BARCELONA, Spain -- Barcelona star Lionel Messi is expected to be sidelined for the remainder of 2013 after picking up his third leg injury of the season.
The Argentina forward hurt his left leg Sunday in Barcelona's 4-1 victory at Real Betis and medical exams on Monday showed he needs a recovery period of six to eight weeks. That would rule Messi out until about Christmas, when the Spanish league takes its annual winter break.
Barcelona will be without the four-time Ballon d'Or winner for up to eight games, including its last two Champions League group games against Ajax and Celtic, four Spanish League matches and the two legs of the Copa del Rey's round of 32.
Messi, who has scored 14 goals in 16 games, has been plagued by nagging muscle problems since the end of last season.
The 26-year-old star missed several weeks last month because of a right thigh problem after first hurting his left thigh in August. He was sidelined at the end of last season with a hamstring pull.
Also, Barcelona says midfielder Cesc Fabregas will need one week to recover from a right knee injury, forcing him to miss Spain's upcoming friendlies against Guinea and South Africa. Barcelona teammate Marc Bartra was called up to replace Fabregas for the friendlies to be played on Friday and Nov. 19.

Matt Adams gets robbed by fan
Fan interference is as much a human part of the game as missed calls by umpires before the latest replay rules came into effect -- just ask St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Matt Adams.
With runners on first and second in the bottom of the third inning, the Cincinnati Reds' Chris Heisey popped a ball down the first base line in foul territory. Adams leaned over the tarp and into the stands...Read more »

My 17 year old daughter and I will be in Toronto end of June beginning of July for Irish Step Dancing competition at the Westin Harbor Castle. What type of i.d. do we need entering Canada from US? From Pearson airport-what is the most reliable, safest transportation to Westin hotel? In the city, what is the best way, other than walking, getting around attractions closeby hotel?
Irish Step Dancing Nationals in Toronto...how to get around city

The Westin should have a shuttle going from the airport to their hotel (it is a nice hotel in Toronto, right on the water). Call them and they can tell you about any direct bus. If you take a taxi, pick a limo (dark coloured cars). When you exit from the arrivals area just look for signs for fixed rate limos (which should be around $30-40 Cnd one way).
If you are flying in try to bring your passport, if none then a birth certificate and picture id should be okay. You can also call your airline to see what they recommend (some require to see id before you go to customs, at least in Canada).
Grab the subway for getting around Toronto. Also get the ferry to the island, right beside the Westin. The CN Tower are within walking distance from the Westin. The Westin is at the bottom of Bay Street, so you can hop on the bus heading north (away from the lake) to get into the heart of downtown.
Report Abuse
Glad to see you will be in TO this summer.
If they do not have a shuttle from the airport then take a cab. It should be around $50.00CAD. Look at the website WWW.Toronto.com and you will see a variety of information about the city.
There is lots to do and Toronto is a very safe place to walk in and being at harbour castle the Downtown is right there. They have an underground trolly that will lead you to the Subway where you will have full access to the city. The subway is CLEAN and safe.
SHOP SHOP SHOP... the exchange rate for you is great....
Anything else please email me.

You can take the Airporter bus to the Westin, it will drop you off directly at your hotel and pick you up at your hotel going home. If I remember correctly it should take about an hour.

Found the website for the bus

Thank you so much for all the info....I feel a little bit more at ease with the ground transportation. Sounds like taxis will work well. That is what Westin recommended as well. We are getting excited about visiting TO next week. How is the weather now...very, very hot?

Toronto weather;
Yesterday, 90 and humid and sunny.
Today, 72 and raining
Tomorrow, who knows, but betweent he two above.
About transportation. Taxis are good for short distances. TTC is excellent for longer distances, when the destination is on the subway route.

You need two pieces of ID to enter Canada from the US. I live near the border (Windsor/Detroit) and often they don't ask for any idea, sometimes just for a license, but technically you need two and I have been asked for two. I bring my driver's license and voter id card. You could also bring birth certificate, I can't remember what the other acceptable id forms are...
Report Abuse
that should be ID, not idea
Report Abuse
To enter Canada if you are a US citizen you need to have proof of citizenship - meaning a passport, or birth certificate or voter registration card (not recommended as immigration/customs officers are suspicious of these. A drivers license is technically not acceptable as it doesn't prove anything. If you are not a US citizen then passport. If you are a resident alien of the US then you know to have your green card with you also. These are the regulations.
As a former customs inspector, I can also tell you the reality. If you "sound" American and "look" American your drivers license will be fine. If you have an accent other than American you may be asked to provide more.
Report Abuse
What is Customs like? Just a quick check of i.d. and then you are on your way?
Report Abuse
No, not nearly that simple. Main steps:
1. Fill out form provided by flight attendant on plane.
2. Present form to Immigration Officer, who will ask a few questions, scribble a code number on the form and return it to you.
3. Hand form to Customs Officer at exit to baggage claim area, who will look at code and either wave you through or take you aside for search. Unless you have said something in step 2 to make the Immigration Officer suspicious, this latter possibility is very unlikely.

Thank you for the very detailed explanation of the customs check. Now we will know what to expect. I vaguely remember similar procedures when we went to Ireland last year. Thanks again. Really looking forward to going to Canada.

Phillies Phever has once again gripped the Philadelphia area, as young and old
fans alike scramble for Phillies gear, signed merchandise, and memorabilia in
the hopes of a repeat perfect season. But how do you know that signed baseball

sure that their memorabilia is real. "There is a lot of fake autographed merchandise on the

authentication turn out to be fake." Here are some tips Taylor suggests when looking to buy

Demonstrating the Smart Grid

opening or closing certain switches, or interrupting service to large customers who have agreed to such measures in advance. But in this case, the processes would be automated and include other options, such as cutting back on residential central air conditioning via programmable thermostats.
In the future, the smart-grid city could include additional demand-response measures that go beyond operational benefits to address environmental or other societal values. For example, pool pumps or other non-essential residential appliances could be identified in advance and shut down temporarily to reduce peak loads.
"The point is, you have to prove all these concepts before you can present the idea of a truly intuitive smart grid system to regulators," Carlson says. "As an industry we haven't really demonstrated the benefit of combining all these technologies. Until we do, there will be skepticism. That's the real value of this project."

What? JULY was the last time that I posted on my blog?!
How can that be?
Do you ever feel that time is passing so quickly that you blink and months have swept by?
My days are filled with cutting petals and making roses. Our business continues to grow and sometimes I feel like I see the women at the fabric and craft store more than my own family LOL We were just contacted by a boutique in New York that is interested in carrying are headbands and accessories!
We have a "hired"our first employee thank you Momala! She saved me hours of work by cutting stacks of satin into circles. Momala, do you mind if your salary is diet pop on demand and an occasional lunch? Mr. tickled pink has requested that I at least keep a pathway so he can wade his way through stacks of lace, rhinestones and pearls! The only time he really complained is when he almost had a small mishap the other day. He had come to sit next to me on the couch to show me something on his phone, how was I suppose to know that my scissors had slipped between the cushions! I told him to count his blessings since they were blade side down! Some how he didn't see the humor in that.
My house has been slightly neglected but it does look pretty covered in assorted roses and mountains of glitter LOL!
When my great Nieces were home for a visit I had them model for us. It usually cost me a handful of candy or part of a chocolate bar. One day when I was getting ready to leave, Mia the three year old, said "Aunt Michele, Bring some more of those headbands tomorrow I will wear them for you if you give me candy!Which was quickly followed by "wait let's make it gum...yes, if you bring gum I will wear your headbands and let you take my picture!" Haaaaaa How could I possibly pass up that offer? The next day I came armed with sugarless gum and got beautiful pictures of the little Angels!
I'm sharing the pictures that make them look so Angelic, what you don't see is the chasing, pleading and mountains of wet wipes to remove the chocolate that goes with our photo shoots!
