Comments about Sheer Touch Lite Wiglet Hairpiece by Paula Young®:
I have thinning hair on top. I wanted something to look natural but with some volume. I was totally surprised to find that this wiglet feels weightless, secures completely, and looks natural. The color matches my grey perfectly. My grandson asked me what I did to grow hair so fast. I can wear this wiglet for everyday with no discomfort. I am so happy with it that I decided to order a wig. THANK YOU!

Don't judge
By Peggy
from Richmond, texas
This product works for me. The color was good, it is easy, it fills the gap. It is too curly, though, and separates from my hair after wearing. I would buy it again if I could get a straighter style or human hair.

Too small - too curly
By Kitties Mom
from Dewey, AZ
Product was returned for exchange with the Abby enhancer. Sheer touch lite was too small and too curly for my use. Photo does not depict product correctly. It would be helpful if there was a photo of the product by itself. When shown on the model you are not able to determine size or amount of curl in the enhancer.

Seeing Jesus Guzman makes me miss him even more. There. I said it. If that went over your head because you have blissfully forgotten about his existence/stint with the Giants, that's just fine. I just, you know, had to say it.
Anyway! I think we just out-Padre'd the Padres. Which is impressive. Although it doesn't exactly feel like that- it alternates between feeling like we were crushed and we crushed them-, the Giants split the series against San Diego and are 50-39 as of right now.
That's a "wow" moment for me. I have no idea how they've won 50 games. With Buster and Freddy going down, the first half shouldn't have gone this well. Resilance makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside and the Giants have serious quantities of it. Did you see Eli's mini-redemption moment? Not to mention Barry's super-redemption moment(s)? ::swoons:: (Has anyone else noticed how obsessed Showtime is with Zito? I mean, this whole trailer is him doing yoga. He does a mean warrior pose, but…?)
And Cleveland, Texas, Milwaukee and San Francisco are all leading their divisions (well, the Brewers are tied for first place). Those are my teams. I can't stand them BoSox or them Phillies, but you win some you lose some. I am liking how the season is shaping up.
But here's what I actually want to talk about: this video on www.csnbayarea.com a few days ago got me thinking about Giants doppelgangers. Not like the creepy "Twin Lincecum" lookalike or even the fact that Brandon Crawford looks a heck of a lot like Zac Efron. Like going back a few hundred- maybe a few thousand years. Check out what my time machine has discovered.
Tim Lincecum and Raphael
Brian Wilson and Random Assyrian Priest
What do you think? Am I onto something, a little more than CSN? I kind of think so. And by the way, you can see the most beautiful Assyrian art in the Near Eastern wing at the Met museum in New York. So worth it. Whether or not you see the beard resemblance.
Now if you'll excuse me, there are recycled earrings to be made and books about Ewan McGregor's motorcycle odysseys to be read. The Mets are in town which means there are sure to be some wild trade rumors. If I could possibly be any more stoked, I would be now.

BHA (salicylic acid) is a superstar ingredient for exfoliating skin and reducing inflammation. In order to make the Best Products list, a BHA product must:
As a general rule for all forms of breakouts (including blackheads), BHA is preferred over AHA because BHA is better at cutting through the oil inside the pore (Source: Cosmetic Dermatology, October 2001, pages 65-72). Penetrating the pore is necessary to exfoliate the pore lining. However, some people (including those allergic to aspirin) can't use BHA, so an AHA is the next option to consider. If that describes you, please refer to the list of Best Alpha Hydroxy Acid Products on this site.
An added benefit of salicylic acid for those struggling with acne is that it is naturally anti-inflammatory and also has a mid antibacterial action. Its anti-inflammatory action can be helpful for those struggling with the skin disorder rosacea. BHA is also best for those struggling with white bumps on the skin.
Like AHAs, BHA has anti-aging benefits. Ongoing use of a well formulated BHA exfoliant helps smooth skin texture, improve uneven skin tone, and stimulates collagen production for firmer skin.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

2012 BMW 528i
I would like to start this thread for those of us just getting into the new 2012 528i. Given the new engine and efficient dynamics features, we may all benefit from each other's experience and input. Personally I never imagined getting into a 4 cyl BMW because I love the inline 6, but after test driving the new 4 cyl turbo, and thinking about where the industry (and consumer needs) are going with regard to efficiency, I was very open to the new engine and am even excited about a "new" car in every sense of the word.
I pick up my car next week. Anyone have any experience in their 2012 yet and want to share your experience or offer tips?
I pick up my car next week. Anyone have any experience in their 2012 yet and want to share your experience or offer tips?
shipo Posts: 9,152The problem for many of us is that the 528i is no longer available with a manual transmission. I'd love to have a 528i 6-Speed manual (my previous BMW was a 530i 5-Speed), but if I want the stick I'm going to have to spring for a 535i; looks like I'm going to have to "settle" for a new F30 328i. Oh the sacrifice.
tenet1 Posts: 354Hi Shipo - I remember you from the e46 board many many years ago. Nice to see you are still around. You always had great information to share and stories to tell. I take it you are in the market for a new BMW. What are you trading from?
After 10 years with my e46 325i I must report that I am always going to drive a BMW. My e46 is the most reliable and fun car I ever had. Only reason I am moving to the 528 is because of the new car itch, and because it's probably time to move one. It will be sad to see the e46 go to another home. Hope all is well. -
shipo Posts: 9,152Hey Tenet1,
After the 530i my business parterner and I decided to launch a new niche business, and as part of that we opted to lose our nicer rides in favor of, ummm, errr, lesser mounts. In my case I went from the 2002 530i to a 3.8 liter 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan Sport which I drove until the clock was showing nearly 180,000 miles. Then, as money was still tight and as I needed a new car which could be relied upon to put in 100 miles or more per day, I switched into a 2.0 liter 2009 Mazda3 i TVE 5-Speed.
Now that our finances are finally starting to look up, my wife just traded our last Caravan (of three) in on a new 2012 GTI 6-Speed, and in another year or so I'll (hopefully) be in the market for a new BMW, once again via European Delivery.
Funny thing; had I known we'd start that new business I would probably have kept my 1999 328i for the duration instead of moving up to the 5er. How many miles do you have on your 325i? -
tenet1 Posts: 354Good to hear. I have put 105k over 10 years but likely to put on more every year moving forward. Wish you well in the new year.
Personally, I am excited about the 4 banger with all it's new efficiency. I'm going to stay the trend with BMW. I think they are on to something. I personally would like more mpg. -
tenet1 Posts: 354Ok, so I have been a long time BMW owner and have always put premium as suggested by BMW. However, I picked up my 2012 528i this week and the dealer told me that the new engines require 89 octane gas. However, upon closer reading of the label by the tank, I see it says that fuel with 89 minimum, and BMW recommends 91. I am confused. Should I fill it with 89 or 91? In the past they clearly specified 91 or higher.
What are your thoughts -
rckpt Posts: 3I've owned the 2012 BMW 2012 for 3 months and I am very disappointed with
the engine noise. I've pulled up to friends who, "nice car, is it a diesel?
BMW's response, "that's the way they sound". I've just moved from a Lexus to
the BMW and I am very surprised that it doesn't run like a clock. -

busiris Posts: 3,490You say BMW's response ...
The company, your dealer...?
If its your dealer, and your new BMW sounds like a diesel, I would definitely recommend trying another dealer.
All dealers, regardless of brand, are not equal.
No one would EVER confuse my 328i with a diesel, unless they perhaps had never heard a diesel before. -
james27 Posts: 433All of the reviews I've read say that is what it sounds like. Don't confuse this 4-cylinder engine with the older 6 on the x28 models, they are vastly different. With the windows up and driving down the road, my guess is that you can't hear it. It is the price of efficiency on this design. It wouldn't bother me...but, I'm not you; nor, would I really care what others thought.
It is the price of economy. -
busiris Posts: 3,490You know, I stand corrected.
I just received the latest Motor Trend issue today, and their quote on the new 4 cylinder was...
"... The new 2.0-liter twin-scroll I-4 sounds like a diesel", but they go on to say its only noisy at idle.
The article also quoted "Let's call that the sound of efficiency".
Personally, it's not how I would describe the sound, but I am now deferring to others' opinions...

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

US military chief laments lack of contact with Tehran
US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff regrets the lack of a "direct
communication link" with Iran and fears it could lead to dangerous
AFP , Wednesday 21 Sep 2011
US considers emergency hot line with Iran: official
Admiral Mike Mullen, the highest-ranking US officer, expressed his
concerns on Tuesday, a day after the Wall Street Journal reported that
the Pentagon was considering establishing a military hot line with
"We haven't had a connection with Iran since 1979. Even in the darkest
days of the Cold War, we had links to the Soviet Union," Mullen told the
Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
"We're not talking to Iran so we don't understand each other. If
something happens, it's virtually assured that we won't get it right,
that there will be miscalculations which would be extremely dangerous in
that part of the world."
The United States has grown increasingly concerned about Iran's alleged
regional ambitions in recent years as Tehran has pressed ahead with its
nuclear enrichment program, which Washington fears is aimed at creating
atomic weapons.
Iran insists its nuclear program is entirely peaceful, but its support
for armed groups like Hamas and Hezbollah and its leaders' harsh
rhetoric on Israel have raised concerns in the West that it could plunge
the region into turmoil.
The Wall Street Journal reported earlier this week that the United
States was especially worried about a fleet of speedboats that often
challenge US and allied warships in the Persian Gulf.
The high-performance Iranian vessels are likely controlled by the
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Tehran's elite military force, and
can be equipped with missiles.
In recent months, a British destroyer fired warning shots at one of
these boats as it appeared to be preparing to ram the larger ship, and
Iranian aircraft have also challenged US ships, the Journal said.
The United States has not had diplomatic relations with Iran since its
1979 revolution, during which Islamists seized the US embassy in Tehran
and held 52 diplomats hostage for more than a year.
Clinton sees power struggle in Iran, a**military dictatorshipa**
(AFP) a** 12 hours ago
WASHINGTON a** US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Wednesday that
Iran was "morphing into a military dictatorship" though a power struggle
within the regime means Iranians can influence the outcome.
Clinton said confusion about who is calling the shots in Tehran has also
complicated US efforts to communicate with the Iranian leadership.
"It's been a little confusing because we're not quite sure who makes
decisions anymore inside of Iran, which I think is an unfortunate sign
and kind of goes along with the ascendancy of greater military power,"
she told the BBC's Persian-language channel.
"I think Iran unfortunately is morphing into a military dictatorship."
She said Washington had tried many different approaches to communicating
with Iran, and was open to "front channel, back channel" communications.
"But I believe there's a power struggle going on inside the regime and
they can't sort out what they really are willing to do until they sort
out who is going to do what," Clinton added.
"And therefore I think there's an opportunity for people within the
country to try to influence how that debate turns out."

No. 2: John Wayne
Another actor who was indelibly typecast (though it's doubtful he really minded) was the Duke himself, John Wayne.
Whether a cowboy or a soldier, you could rely on Wayne being the All-American hero who would ride into town and save the day. Along the way, he'd find time to get the pretty woman, whoop up on the bad guy, down a whiskey, and drawl out some classic line.
Wayne shows that just because you're typecast, doesn't mean you can't act. While some might say his range was limited, for example he could conceivably play a hard-nosed baddie but probably not a sensitive intellectual, he still brought the quality, even earning an Oscar for "True Grit."
Once he'd been associated with several All-American hero successes, there was no way that the film studios were going to change their formula. After all, pilgrim, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
No. 1: Hugh Grant
Now, let's imagine that you need a foppishly attractive English actor for your film. In the words of Ghostbusters, who you gonna call? Well, it's just got to be Hugh Grant, with his mane of lovely hair and his permanently-flustered persona.
Grant's defining moment came in "Four Weddings and a Funeral" where he played the charming but faux-pas prone Charles, who embarks upon a flirtation with an assertive American beauty (played by Andie MacDowell).
Once having found a role that worked for him, Grant seems to have decided to seek out that role the rest of his career, or at least shoe-horn that personality into whatever movie is providing his paycheck for the time being.
He's gone on to perfect this role in films such as "Bridget Jones's Diary," "Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason," "Notting Hill" and "Sense and Sensibility," never once having to learn a new accent or change his hairstyle.
Nice work if you can get it but method actor, he is not!

Attica Championships To Be Decided Saturday, August 25th
Sunday, 19 August 2007
By Brian Liskai
(Attica, OH)
The track championships at Attica Raceway Park will be decided on Kistler Engines Night, Saturday, August 25, with close points battles in every division.
In the World Auto Parts of Huron-Cleveland 410 Sprints, Monclova's Byron Reed is trying to win his third straight track title and his fourth overall Attica Championship. Not only would he share in the point fund, but he would also win a new Eagle Chassis courtesy of Kear's Speedshop and Attica Raceway Park. Reed, who has four wins in 2007 at "Ohio's Finest Racing" speedplant, holds an 88 point advantage over Lee Jacobs, with Mike Linder 139 points back. Paul Weaver and Caleb Griffith round out the top five in the standings.
In the 305 sprints, defending track champion Andy Shammo, who has four feature wins in 2007 at ARP, holds a slim 37 point lead over Bryan Sebetto who has 7 feature wins to his credit. Dustin Dinan is 112 points back, with Stuart Brubaker 114 points behind and Duane Zablocki 138 points back in fifth. The track champion will receive a new Revolution XXX Chassis thanks to Kear's Speedship and Revolution XXX Chassis.
The closest point battle is in the Fultz Fabrications & Speed Shop Attica Late Models where Gibsonburg's Ken Hahn holds a slip 11 point advantage over five-time track champion Larry Kingseed, while Ryan Missler is just 14 points back. Hahn, with three wins in 2007, is trying to win the point money and a new Rayburn chassis thanks to Wynn's Automotive/Service Drive Solutions and Rayburn Race Cars. Former champion Mike Marteney is fourth in the standings, 61 points back, with Ernie Haynes fifth, 65 points back.
Sandusky's Cory Ward, who has three feature wins at ARP in 2007, holds a slim 11-point advantage over defending track champion Art Ball who also has three victories. Bob Dible, who has two feature wins, is third in the standings just 28 points back, with Shawn Valenti, who also has a pair of wins, fourth, just 32 points behind. Steve Endicott is fifth in the points, 72 points back.
If rain forces the championship night racing to be canceled, the points races in the 410 and 305 sprints would be over, with the points in the late models and dirt trucks to be deciced on Sept. 1.
The vintage race cars will also be on display Saturday, Aug. 25.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

We need a lot more facts in this discussion. And again, "in my opinion"
and "I am certain" don't cut it without details to back them up.
1) What is the US doing in Guatemala right now? Distinguish between what
is definitely there and what is rumored to be there clandestinely.
Most projects are humanitarian run through Southern Command, known as
Joint Task Force Bravo. These projects include medical, dental,
infrastructure projects etc. Southern Command is in charge of Guatemala,
30 other countries and 10 territories.
Their mission statement is: Joint Task Force - Bravo's mission is to
support joint, combined, and interagency exercises and operations in
Central America to counter transnational organized crime, conduct
humanitarian assistance / disaster relief, and build partner capacity to
promote regional cooperation and security.
JTF-Bravo is composed of approximately 600 U.S. military members from the
Army, Air Force and Navy. The U.S. forces on base are divided into various
units, all of which support the JTF-Bravo commander. The units are the 1st
Battalion, 228th Aviation Regiment; the 612th Air Base Squadron; Joint
Security Forces; Army Forces and the Medical Element.
as part of JTF-Bravo
ARFOR (which is part of JTF-Bravo) conducts and supports humanitarian
assistance; personnel recovery; counter narcotics training; and combined,
joint and interagency operations and training such as airborne operations.
CARSI - Central American Regional Security Initiative - It is designed to
stop the flow of narcotics, arms, weapons, and bulk cash generated by
illicit drug sales, and to confront gangs and criminal organizations.
There are reportedly special operations troops in Guatemala training
Kailbiles -
It has been reported a DEA FAST team has operated in Guatemala as
trainers. A FAST team was also reportedly part of a shootout in Honduras,
so they are there for training but also are apparently able to "defend
themselves" with a loose rule of engagement.
The CIA has some people there at least at the Embassy, but I do not know
about their mandate at this point.
I think the difference between the facts and rumors of what the US is
doing in Guate are as follows.
in what quantity of personnel do US forces exist in country? Many
Guatemalans believe they have never really left - especially the CIA - and
they are there in pretty large numbers.
what they are they used for? Is a humanitarian force really just that, or
a psyops to get the population in favor of having US troops in country.
2) What are the current assets capable of doing? (training? intel
collection? actual operations?)
Training - The green berets and DEA are there for training at this point,
but if what is reported is true, they have had shoot outs with bad guys
they engaged.
Intel collection is probably not very difficult. The US has a strong
presence in Guatemala historically although they have not put as high a
priority on the area since 9/11. I would also count business
intelligence and security teams as US assets collecting information.
If they are running operations it is covert.
3) What could SOCOM potentially bring to the table? What assets (as in
military hardware and personnel) does General Fraser have at his
disposal to help Guatemala?
I can do a further breakdown of forces tomorrow from what I put above.
What Central American countries want is hardware a la the Merida
Initiative. What Obama wants to do is build institutions. An example
would be the police forces through training. OPM is rumored to want to
start a special school for police training.
at this point the funding for Guatemala for military and police training
are as follows. The numbers for 2012 are only what has been promised so

how the US can ramp up pressure on Guatemala. Then we can establish
guidance on what we need to look for that would indicate an increased US
involvement in the Guatemala.

Subject: DISCUSSION - US Involvement in Central America
General Fraser, the commanding officer for SOCOM, has been in Guatemala
the past two days to discuss the development of counter narcotics
operation in the country. He met today with Otto Perez Molina, Alvaro
Colom, and the Minister of Defense among others.
Although it is not rare to see Fraser in Central America, it is
important to note the reasons for the visit, and the timing. I would
assume the visit was planned in advance, but I believe that Otto Perez
Molina was relatively assured of victory in this month's presidential
elections, and the fact that General Fraser met with him before Colom is
Otto Perez Molina is the US choice for president of Guatemala, as well
as the choice of the traditional elite in Guatemala who are now, for the
first time in years, feeling threatened by a force potentially more
powerful than themselves. Years ago it was the guerrillas, now it is
primarily the Mexican cartels, Guatemalan OC, and Colombian OC.
In my opinion, it is a certainty that the United States will increase
counter narcotics operations on Central America. It is more politically
feasible, and the US has a long and storied history of involvement
there. Honduras is already in the process of militarizing the conflict,
and Guatemala will also do the same.
OPM has made that clear, and it is now only a question of how much money
the US is willing to spend, and if they are willing to put more boots on
the ground beyond one FAST unit (officially that is, I am certain they
have more people on the ground right now than that). I believe the
decision has been made to focus interdiction efforts on CA for not only
political considerations, but also logistical ones.
It is a natural choke point for the flow, and therefore geographically
easier to monitor and control. It also has limited transportation
methods and routes inside the country, and the US already controls the
Caribbean. The western coast of Guatemala is not very viable for major
boat shipments of drugs because of the natural geography and features.
Therefore, as of right now, efforts could be focused on overland routes.
The US already runs humanitarian operations in Guatemala, which are
meant to psychologically condition the Guatemalan populace to the
presence of American troops, just as the Cubans do the same with a
constant flow of doctors and medical equipment to the region.
It is believed by many in Guatemala that the election of OPM was
assured, and when Sandra Torres was not allowed to run, it was proof of
concept that OPM had the power to block her, and this is because he had
the backing of something bigger and more powerful than the cartels - the
US government. It could be argued that the Guatemalan judicial process
worked, but no one believe it.
It is unclear of OPM's connections to cartels, but if he has support of
the traditional elite (who are criminals in their own right) and the
USG, it is at least theoretically possible he could remain untainted by
cartel money, which would give him room to maneuver.
It is another conversation all together how much the local governments
will be able to do to stop the drug flows, which is another reason OPM
will use the military, especially Kaibil units, to be the tip of the
This dynamic will create a devolution, and Guatemala will collapse into
a cycle of violence that rivals or surpasses the worst locations in

Find out how it has for three local women.
What if the power to change your life could be found within the four corners of a yoga mat? Could your life go from one of transition, sadness or even disease to one of good health and happiness? Three area women think so.
Obviously we can't accurately forecast what the future will hold, but we can have control over our present. Here's a striking example: Newly married and enjoying a dream job in the corporate world, Johanna Capecci felt she had it all. Sadly, four trips to the ER later, her driven life would forever change.
Riddled with abdominal pain so bad she could hardly speak, Ms. Capecci was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease, an autoimmune inflammatory bowel disease in which the lining of the intestine becomes inflamed, causing intense pain, malnutrition and other life-complicating conditions.
She was able to tame flare-ups with medication, but her body became resistant to the immunosuppressant drugs. And although her pain was gone, her flare-ups came back in the form of a swollen ankle.
Soon after Ms. Capecci discovered she had Crohn's Disease, her father was diagnosed with brain cancer and her mother began dealing with heart problems. Ms. Capecci's flare-ups increased as a result of the stress. "I had everything I ever wanted, but I just couldn't take it anymore," she explains. She joined a Crohn's Disease support group where yoga was recommended to build physical strength without being too stressful on the body. It became a way for Ms. Capecci to work out and feel in control. No matter what's going on with her life, she takes 15 minutes a day to do yoga. "Life can wait," she says. Flare-ups still continue, but yoga takes her away from the pain and toward a positive sense of self. "I just close my eyes and let my body roll."
But life sometimes throws you more than one curveball, and finding a way to cope may take a small army. Silvita Diaz Brown from Puebla, Mexico, now lives in Chicago and teaches yoga and dance throughout the city. However, things weren't always so sunny.
At age 5, Ms. Brown's mother committed suicide and her father was initially accused of her death. While he fought for his innocence and freedom, Ms. Brown and her brother lived with their grandmother in minimal surroundings. At school she was bullied and often felt criticized. "This negative environment led to me putting up emotional blocks, being insecure and very anxious, and then becoming anorexic," she says.
Ms. Brown was able to recover with support from family, but she also sought spiritual guidance and was introduced to yoga. "Yoga is a way of living," she affirms. "Yoga is home. It's a physical, mental and spiritual state of being. You're able to think before you act. It's a process of mindfulness and being able to see the truth instead of unrealities I've created in my head."
Another Chicagoan, former professional figure skater Allison English, was led to yoga after she took a nasty fall on the ice, which left her with nerve pain and a numb leg, coupled with bulging discs and two herniated discs in her back. Although her doctor strongly recommended surgery, she declined. While Ms. English plummeted into anxiousness and depression, she was also diagnosed with Celiac Disease, a condition that damages the lining of the small intestine and prevents it from absorbing nutrients.
Her mother gave her two yoga DVDs and she found doing yoga helped her walk with less pain. And after taking a class at the local park district, she found yoga gave her full feeling in her nerve-damaged leg. "It was in that moment I realized yoga was something special – that it did something more than stretch you out," Ms. English says. Yoga became a profound way of dealing with everything. "I was never able to go back to skating. Stopping was really hard for me. I felt lost for many years, but yoga was a way of helping to find my way back to a self that didn't rely on something external to be defined," she reflects.
After training with Ana Forrest of Forrest Yoga, Ms. English walked away a yoga instructor and started to pass that energy on to others. One of her first students told her how she thought of committing suicide nearly every day. But because she had Ms. English's yoga class, she had a reason to live. "We get one go-around at this life – to appreciate every moment of it and stop holding back," she says. "That's really been the most profound change for me. And in that I've found the most delight, joy and happiness ever."

Violence Prevention Project
The Violence Prevention Project has two main focuses:- The first goal is to educate members of the UCO community to make choices that lead to healthy relationships. In addition to providing educational outreaches, the program will work with the entire campus community to create an environment at UCO that will not tolerate violent crimes.
- The second goal of the program is to establish and maintain a cohesive response system so that, when these crimes occur, survivors can easily and confidentially receive assistance and perpetrators will be held accountable.

My friends have repeatedly asked me, "What is your style?".
Each time this allegedly "friendly" question comes up about my style, I go blank...totally blank...and then I feel like I'm metaphorically being pushed into a small corner with no room to move or breath...claustrophobia sets in and my mind begins to whirl (I may even lose consciousness for a bit when this question of my style comes up).
"My style?", I think to myself and way too often say out loud, "Well...uhhhmmm...I like pretty things. You know? What do you mean my style? My style...hmmm....it's a stylish style. Kind of. You know uhhm it is just uh like those things I like...you know you've seen what I like. Right? I like white but I like pops of color too. I like things with straight lines? I like things with curvy lines? I like some modern things...oh I mean furniture not things...right? I like traditional things...oops furniture. You know? Just cute things. You know. You know????"
The response to my panicked style rambling from these friends is usually the same, "No, actually, I don't know". Grrrrr......
When I'm feeling a bit more calm "my style" definition doesn't come out much better. Here's the calm and supposedly collected explanation of my style: "It is a new mix of several different styles. I call it a "timeless modern blend" - classic yet fun and fresh at the same time." This definition is usually met with a look of utter confusion, someone changing the subject or with total awkward silence.
Okay...got it...I'll hone my description at some point but until then I'll just post these style boards. These are all images that I've posted over the years and some photos I've taken...when put all together they all encapsulate everything I love - my COCOCOZY STYLE!
Is it starting to make sense now? Your answer can be "no" btw...that will force me to go back to the drawing board on the written/verbal description of what I like...! :-)
Anyhooo...hope you enjoy these images...hope it helps with a little bit of a visual definition of COCOCOZY STYLE.
See anything you like...or how about you try to define my style? Tell me what your style is too!
P.S. I swear, the DESIGNER ROOM RECREATE is coming...tomorrow...I promise. It is. I just got sidetracked with this "what is your style" thing because a friend asked me at least 4 times just last night...!
12 comments:
Well from looking at all the style boards, I would say you like "Traditional with a Modern Clean Line Slant". All of the elements in all of the pictures are "Clean Lined Traditional". Maybe that's the best way to describe your style. Anyway, I love it. Love the pops of color too. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteAll your images are so yummy! Its like design candy. Impeccable style. Very fresh. I love whites and other neutrals(graphite, dove grey, taupe, mocha), but also greens, yellows, and blues...anything that looks fresh, clean, and coastal. My style is a mix of things including modern, vintage, ethnic, travel, music, and nature-inspired, and industrial. I thought it was funny to see your post because I actually just posted something very similar about going through the whole "what is my style?" process. Your boards are beautiful- I even see a little party-girl in there with the mardi gras beads! I think it's very clear what your style is and that is: fabulous. You can breathe a sigh of relief! :) I bet you like milk-glass and Fire King Jadite. Am I right?
ReplyDeleteYour blog post today made me LOL... for REAL! It sounds like the creative brain (including mine!) of most interior designers... here's one thought.... but here's another.... oh, and a bee flew by.... and I need to brush the dog... but wait, about that room we were talking about... what was I saying again?! HA! I completely understand what you mean about not being able to totally verbalize your style. We designers think "outside the box", so it's hard to put us in one! Your blog is FAB, by the way!
ReplyDeleteI loved this post!! You have an amazing design aesthetic!! Contemporary with some old world lines in furniture with pops of color!!You need some straight lined contemp.pieces but also a touch of the old with fresh color added!! It got me to thinking about a couple of post I did in Jan. You might like to read them.First read this one and take the test
Next read this one:
Let me know what you think???Love your boards! Especially the color groupings! :)
{Just out of curiousity what did you use to create the boards? I use Pages in Mac to do my concept boards (either landscape or vertical) but they are not as wide as the color boards you featured...just wondering how you did the "panarama" landscape boards. Would love to know!}
Thanks so much!!!

Nice dispatch and this fill someone in on helped me alot in my college assignement. Thanks you on your information.
ReplyDelete Your photos are gorgeous. The description that come to mind is Modern European Eclectic. If I had multiple houses for my multiple personality styles, I would love to have a house in this style in a warm climate like Miami. Since I can only afford one house until I hit the big jackpot (positive thoughts), my style is French European, a la John Saladino, with a little Rachel Ashwell thrown in. I've struggled trying to pin that down too, because a lot of the photos I choose are different from the treasues I bring home.
ReplyDeleteLove the style boards. Completely understand "timeless modern blend" AND how difficult it is to explain this type of style...here's my go at it: modern + traditional = MODitional (a blend of modern clean lines with a twist of timeless traditional pieces). Still needs work!
You should open a shop with a mix of all these "things"!!!

Wine Trail Spring Event
April 24th, 2013Winter at Quiet Walker Lodge
January 1st, 2013During the months of December and January we have enjoyed the beauty of the winter landscape. There is something to be said about the peacefulness of a winter day snuggled up in a blanket around the fireplace. During this time, I have caught up on some of my basket weaving. I finished my autumn corn project and I am currently working on a pine needle basket with a natural base.
This year, I had the opportunity to attend a Gourd Convention and learn how to weave gourds. So now besides my basket weaving and gardening, I am learning new techniques in gourd art.
In the Fall, we planted eleven new maple trees on the property. These trees line the small trail we are developing. It is a slow process, but it is nice to see the new trees in the meadow.

Wine Trail Event
October 28th, 2012The 17th Iowa Wine Trail event is coming up November 3 and 4 from 10 am – 6 pm each day. The fall theme this year is "Around the World with Iowa Wines." Each winery has chosen to pair their wines with food from another country. The Winneshiek Wildberry Winery near Decorah will pair their wines with Italian Cuisine. Eagles Landing Winery in Marquette will be pairing their wines with Cajun cooking. Daly Creek Winery in downtown Anamosa will serve Japanese dishes that complement their wines. Brick Arch Winery in West Branch will use a "melting pot" of recipes including barbeque, pork tenderloin and cranberries, and pineapple upside down cake to pair with their wines. The Engelbrecht Family Winery near Fredericksburg will pair their wines with German dishes including Reuben sandwiches, hot potato salad and German cheese cake. At Tabor Home Vineyards and Winery near Baldwin, they have chosen Greek cuisine and will pair their wines with a mezes – small dishes made with cheese or grilled meats, and baklava. If you are planning to participate in the event, consider staying at Quiet Walker Lodge to make your experience complete. Tickets for the event are on sale at www.iowawinetrail.com or by calling (563) 557-3727.

Gourd Art
October 6th, 2012I learned how to use alcohol ink to produce a marbling effect on the gourd. The grass is a pygmy palm grass from Tucson, Arizona. The beads are Ox bone beads. It took me about three hours from start to finish. I think the fun part was working with the alcohol ink. I plan to make more gourds using this ink and see what kind of designs and marbling effects I can produce.
The second piece I created this weekend was a gourd with natural embellishments. I used a devil's claw for my centerpiece. I plan to grow this annual to get more devil claws for more projects. The claw can even be used for earrings! The devil claw is also from Arizona and the seeds are inside the top part. On this gourd, I sewed a beautiful red bean that is toxic to animals. So I need to keep this basket high up to stop the cats from eating it and getting high! For this gourd, I used a beautiful red palm grass. I liked the texture and the little nubbles on the grass. Next time I am going to also marble the gourd (possibly in greens).
The next project was learning how to faux a gourd. The gourd was spray-painted black. The first step was to take a glue/sand mixture and put it on the gourd to produce a rough texture. After that was dry, the paint went on and then the seal. I did not like the way this one turned out and plan to experiment more with this technique.
In April, the Wisconsin Gourd Festival will be held in Madison. I hope to make Spirit dolls out of gourds and learn how to burn designs in them. I think I can really get into gourd art and incorporate some of my basket weaving skills for the rims. This is cool!

Morrison Brothers Tree Farm
September 22nd, 2012Today I went to the tree farm with Jeff Stecklin of Stecklins Tree Service to choose the trees I want to plant along our trail. I chose some beautiful maples that provide color in the Fall. The Autumn Blaze Maple is known for its brillant red-orange fall color. It grows pretty fast and was the 1997 Iowa Tree of the Year. The Deborah Norway Maple is another fast growing maple. It has more upright branches but provides a brillant red leave in spring that turns to a dark bronze-green in the summer. I like the Emerald Luster Norway for its round canopy and pretty color. The Red Sunset Maple is a dense rounded form tree that has orange-red foilage in the Fall.
In the meadow I am planting a Bloodgood London Planttree that has a beautiful cream, olive and brown exfoliating bark. This will be a focal point tree with a picnic table and benches under it for guests to sit and have picnics. The lkast trees oin my list to plant this Fall arte the Northern Red Oak trees. This is the fastest growing Oak around and it won the 1999 Iowa Tree of the Year. What I like about this tree is that the leaves hang on the tree into winter.
So in the next several weeks the trees will be planted along the trail. Each will have their own water holding bag and hopefully next year they will look beautiful!

Classic Car Show
July 15th, 2012On Sunday, my husband and daughter went with me to the Classic Car Show held at the botantical gardens. The variety of classic cars was very impressive and it was obvious these owners loved their cars! My husband fell in love with the cherry red corvette. A car he would have trouble getting into and out of at his age. But it is nice to dream!

Heritage Farms
June 20th, 2012Today I traveled to Decorah, Iowa to check out the Heritage Farm seed saving exchange. This place has one of the largest collections of open-pollinated heirloom varieties for home gardeners like myself. It is an 890 acre farm with beautiful gardens and orchards.There are several different gardens to stroll through. The preservation gardens is where seeds are regenerated and grown to provide a refeshed seed supply. These gardens are designed to prevent cross-pollination and mantain genetic purity. The trial gardens are used to plant a sample of the seeds they receive from a grower to determine germination rate and genetic purity. These gardens serve as a system of checks and balances. Several other gardens like Diane's Garden and the Seed Saving Garden are also open for public strolls. My favorite garden is the exchange garden. Each year, hundreds of SSE members share their seeds with others by listing them in the yearbook.
Besides the gardens, the farm also has a historic apple orchard and heritage breeds of livestock. The historic apple orchard features 550 different varieties of apples. The farm is one of two major breeding sites for Ancient White Park Cattle in the US. This breed is known for its well-marbles meat, efficient grazing and easy calving. Also, Gloucestershire Old Spots Pigs are used in the orchards to clean up windfalls and this reduces pests.
Of course one can not visit the farm without picking up some seeds. I am excited about the Heritage Farm Poppy and I look forward to having this beautiful poppy growing in my garden. I also picked up a package of historic pansies mix. Unfortunately the original pansies introduced in the 1800s by the Vilmorin Company of Paris no longer exist, but seedman Kees Sahin of the Netherlands kept a collection of 13000 violas in the Netherlands. This mix was assembled by him and closely resembles the original "Bambini Mixture" from Vilmorin. I also picked up a sweet pea perinnial called Everlasting which I plan to have growing on the fence in my songbird garden. For vegetables I picked up the Chioggia beet seeds. This is a pre-1840 Italian heirloom beet introduced in the US before 1865. It has alternating red and white concentric rings that resemble little bull's-eyes.
Tonight I will be planting herbs and peppers of every variety you can think of as they were giving away their leftover plants. What a great day at the farm!

Galena Balloon Races
June 17th, 2012On Saturday, I drove to the Galena Territories to witness the Galena Balloon Races. I had never been to a balloon race so I was very excited to see how the balloons rose in the air and the multitude of colors and designs on these geometric objects. I was not disappointed. The day was beautiful and I had a lovely, shaded knoll to sit on as I watched these giants ascend into the air. I have posted a complete album of the balloons on the Quiet Walker Lodge Facebook page. It was a great event for a great cause!

Healthy Food
June 10th, 2012Here at Quiet Walker Lodge we are always concerned about healthy food. A friend of mine shared with me the EWG's 2011 Shopper's guide to pesticides in produce. I was shocked to find that apples have the highest amount of pesticide contamination of all the fruits and vegetables. The dirty dozen with the most pesticides include celery at number two followed by strawberries, peaches, spinach, nectarines, grapes, sweet bell peppers, potatoes, blueberries, lettuce and kale.

Luna Moth
May 26th, 2012
"Iowa Lodging at Quiet Walker Lodge Bed and Breakfast, a Country Inn and Dubuque area bed and breakfast located near Dubuque, Iowa" />This beautiful Luna moth was attached to a wooden post on the deck. Last summer my husband saw one with a 4 inch wing span. The Luna moth is one of the largest moths in North America. The pale green wings have either pink or yellow margins on them. The Northern moths and the Southern individuals born in the summer have the yellow margins.
The adult Luna moths are very strong fliers. When they first exit the cocoon it takes them up to two hours to get their wings. They have to pump bodily fluids to their wings and wait about 2 hours before they are able to fly. Like a typical silk moth, the adult Luna moth has no mouth and does not feed. They only live for about 1 week in the adult form and during this time their sole purpose is to find a mate. Mating will take place after midnight and the eggs will be laid the following evening. The eggs will hatch in about a week and the caterpillars will go through about five in-stars before they create their cocoon and start the whole cycle over.

B.C. government to spend $11 million to bring Bollywood awards to Vancouver
Premier Christy Clark confirmed at a Vancouver press conference on Tuesday (January 22) that the inaugural 2013 Times of India Film Awards will be held in Metro Vancouver from April 4 to 6.
"The Times of India Film Awards will be seen by hundreds of millions of people in one of the world's fastest-growing economies and Vancouver will be centre stage," Premier Clark stated. "This is one piece of our government's outreach efforts in India, opening up new opportunities for trade and investment that will create jobs here at home. This is a tremendous economic opportunity for British Columbia to reach new markets—one that we will take advantage of."
The province will spend $9.5 million to match funds from the Times of India Group for the new event. An additional $1.5 million will fund various B.C. activities, including the BC-India Global Business Forum.
The provincial government claims the event is estimated to generate $13 million to $18 million in spending in B.C. from tourism and event production.
The awards ceremony, to be held at BC Place with a potential live audience of 30,000, will be broadcast globally. According to the news release, the ceremony will include performances by Bollywood's biggest stars, including Shah Rukh Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif, and more.
The celebrations will include a music event at Pacific Coliseum and Bollywood film screenings across the province. Online voting for popular awards by audience begins February 1 and tickets for the awards begin on February 15.
The Vancouver press conference included Pat Bell, Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training and Minister Responsible for Labour; Iain Black, Vancouver Board of Trade president and CEO; Times of India Group board of directors A.P. Parigi; actress Chitrangada Singh; and choreographer Shiamak Davar.
Another press conference for the awards will be held in Mumbai, India, on January 29.
The announcement of the awards being launched in B.C. arrives on the heels of the provincial government's failed bid to bring the International Indian Film Academy Awards to Vancouver.
The IIFA confirmed in a press release on January 21 that it will not be holding this year's awards in Vancouver. The IIFA awards, which are held in a different city around the world each year, made its first appearance in North America in 2011 when Ontario spent $12 million to bring the IIFA to Toronto. The IIFA Awards has previously been held in cities such as Amsterdam, Singapore, Bangkok, London, Dubai, and Johannesburg.
However, the TOIFA event announcement also arrives amid concerns about the exclusion of the local film industry from the provincial government's Jobs Plan. The industry responded to the news earlier this month by launching the Save B.C. Film campaign.
A town hall industry forum will be held tonight (January 22) at North Shore Studios to discuss the future of the local motion picture industry.
Yep, that's the free-enterprise "we know how to manage dollars" party.
Truly sick, stupid and hyper-political.
I truly hope someone proves me wrong on this.
No, they will go to Ontario where the rupee goes further - their accountants will insist upon it.
Thanks, Ms. Clark for sticking it to BC's film community so that a few airlines and tour operators can get fat.
- one of BC's 25,000 film craftsmen & women
P.S. We'll see you at the polls May 14!
Buh BYE!
"these awards are going to be amazing and put vancouver on the map"
funniest stuff I have read in days, nice work
they are already selling toifa vancouver packages with the discover British columbia, Canada campaign....the stars that are going to perform will attract $1500 a ticket crowd to vancouver no matter what the award name. If people could fly from London, Miami and Houston to see Shahrukh Khan in toronto during IIFA, then Vancouver is an easy sell....but some regressive mindsets will never change given the history of BC politics they will find something or someone to pick on.
This government is organized crime in office.
Save BC Films!

Vicky Boyd, Staff WriterAs a writer, I had to chuckle recently when I read about the government's Plain Writing Act signed into law by President Obama in 2010.
The act is designed to make written government communications, including rules and regulations, easier to understand. In other words, it would require agencies to translate governmentalese into common English.
But I guess it's do as I say, not as I do.
For a piece of legislation that's supposed to simplify governmental writings, the act itself is hard to understand in places.
Here's just one paragraph.
"The budgetary effects of this act, for the purpose of complying with the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010, shall be determined by reference to the latest statement titled 'Budgetary Effects of PAYGO Legislation' for this act, submitted for printing in the Congressional Record by the chairman of the House Budget Committee, provided that such statement has been submitted prior to the vote on passage."
Under the Plain Writing Act, the director of each agency — such as those within the U.S. Department of Agriculture — had 10 months to begin implementing it.
The act also requires each agency to publish on its website how it is complying, so I went to www.usda.gov to check things out.
The Center for Plain Language, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit, graded all of the agencies in July 2012 about how well they were doing, and the USDA received an A.
The USDA also published its latest compliance report, an 80-page document, in April to show how it had made its communication easier to understand.
One of the major directives from Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack was "eliminating unnecessary jargon, acronyms and abbreviations" — this coming from an agency where alphabet soup used to prevail.
I haven't compared written communications from before the act, but it seems like the USDA still likes the alphabet.
Here's just one sentence from the report, and I see three different acronyms.
"AMS' Transportation and Marketing program (TM) Grain Transportation Report (GTR) is a weekly online report that covers developments affecting the transport of grain, both in the domestic and international marketplace."
As I read through the report, I found myself continually looking back and forth to decipher acronyms, such as FNS (Food and Nutrition Service), CNPP (Center for Nutrition Policy and Programs), FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) and GIPSA (Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyard Administration).

The city is cutting down trees. What can I do?
First discover the reason the trees are scheduled for removal. For trees in the city of Los Angeles, the L.A. Urban Forestry Division posts information regarding removals at http://bsspermits.lacity.org/treepostings/. At this site you can track the time and location of public hearings for residents to voice their opinions about tree removal.
At TreePeople, we feel strongly about planting the right tree in the right place. However, sometimes the wrong tree species has been planted in the wrong location. These "inappropriate" trees can be very expensive and difficult for cities to maintain. It is important to understand that sometimes removal of a tree is necessary.
Maintenance of a street tree can also be an issue. It can be possible to save a tree by agreeing to take care of it yourself. For example, if a tree has a treatable disease or needs pruning you could pay for a professional to perform the necessary care.
Contact the City
In the city of Los Angeles please call the Urban Forestry Division at (213) 473-3231 for information about street tree removal. Other cities have a comparable agency associated with their department of public works. Your local city council representative or their associated field deputies are also useful people to contact when researching street tree removal. It is their job to assist you in communicating with the city.

Despite both Stewart Downing and Jordan Henderson failing to score for almost 50 league games between them, they're both in the starting line-up one again. Both players were anonymous against Man United last weekend, but it seems that under-performing players are guaranteed starts irrespective of their contribution to the team.
Full Team: Reina; Johnson, Carragher, Skrtel, Enrique, Downing, Henderson, Adam, Gerrard, Suarez, Carroll.
Subs: Doni, Maxi, Coates, Kelly, Kuyt, Shelvey, Spearing.
* Craig Bellamy and Daniel Agger are not even in the squad, which means they've either been rested, or they've picked up injuries.
* It's likely that Henderson will be doing his usual ineffective job on the right again. It's not his fault he's played out of position though.
* No holding midfielder + Carra in defence = Liverpool playing deep.
Probable formation:
----------------- Reina
Johnson -------- Carra -- Skrtel ---- Enrique
Henderson ----- Adam ---- Gerrard ----- Downing
-------------- Suarez --- Carroll
This team is more than good enough to smash Brighton, and hopefully that's exactly what will happen.

I've seen a few complaints about the price point at around $80 for the new edition of Descent. I've been looking at the limited information we have so far, and I have to say I think we'll actually be getting a lot of bang for our buck. Let me explain:
1) Only 8 characters? Normally, the people in my gaming group latch onto one character anyway. In AH, I've got a guy who always plays as "Ashcan" Pete despite the fact that I have all the expansions and nearly 50 characters to choose from. Yes, having a ton of characters gives you more options, but it doesn't mean they'll all get played. I personally enjoy randomly choosing a character and going from there, but to each their own.
2) Less tiles? Yes, there are (technically) less tiles. 48 map pieces as opposed to the 61 in First Edition. However, according to the info page, they are double sided. So (again, technically), you're actually getting 96 map pieces. You just can't use them all at once. Of course, how often do you use all of your Descent 1E map pieces at the same time? Plus, the artwork on the 2E pieces are awesome! Just look at them. Right there, you can see where the extra bucks are going to. Keep in mind, price of a game is more than the number of figures and pieces. It's also the quality.
3) Streamlined rules? Now, I'll be honest, I still haven't played Descent. Friends of mine who have it never want to play it due to the fact that it takes a while to set up. The fact that there are streamlined rules means that there's a higher probability of play. Of course, this time I'll be the one picking up the game, so I'll be sure to host as many as possible. I'm also intrigued with the campaign play right out of the core set. Both Road to Legend and Sea of Blood captured my imagination, so it bugged me even more that I never got to play. It seems that FFG has really taken the time to address some concerns from 1E. Again, this is another thing that your money goes to when you're buying a game. It doesn't seem that the campaign mode will include a map board like either RtL or SoB, but I'm sure that'll be down the line sometime.
4) 2E is cheaper than 1E. So, again, for those complaining about the price point, keep in mind the 2E core set is still about $20 cheaper than 1E's. Despite fewer heroes and monsters, it seems like there's more PLAY involved. You get campaign, streamlined rules, excellent artwork, and I'm sure there will be expansions adding to that down the line. PLUS, if you have 1E you can just get the conversion set for like $25. That means (for all of that are still irked about less monsters and heroes in 2E) you can end up with a massive amount of figures for 2E.
Honestly, I just don't see the downside. Their taking something great and making it better.

And you thought the fireworks were over. Wrong. So very wrong. Because in New Orleans, we aren't just American. We also are a colonial city, founded by the French and governed by the French and Spanish along the way. That means—another chance for a party, on Bastille Day, July 14! Yes, that's right, but since it falls on the weekend, we get a few days of fêtes! All in honor of the French ideals of libertê, egalitê, and fraternitê. Which are, after all, ideals we cherish in New Orleans.
The Alliance Française of New Orleans puts on dinner for Bastille Day at Restaurant Galvez in the French Market to start on Friday, July 13, at 8:00 PM. Today is the last day to order tickets for that gala dinner, but if you don't make it to the dinner, you can check out the fireworks over the grand Mississippi River in Dutch Alley. There'll be a band, of course. Fireworks start at 9PM. Watch for sparklers in—red, white and blue, of course!
