I think everyone on this forum knows I love their boats. DEPENDING ON THE MODEL (with an emphasis there), they are the best of the production boats and are VERY popular in Texas. Beneteau/Jeauneau may have the market elsewhere in the states, but down here it is Catalinas.
I really do think that guy will make a mistake if he buys a boat with the intention of only using it when he has a babysitter. If he does not make it something that is family-friendly and family-fun, it will be for sale again in 12 months... y'all agree?? (Y'all is a Texas term, Giu. You should put that in your Portugese Dictionary).
Of course, my definition of fun is my kids around me, Marley blaring, and sunsets with my family anchored off somewhere. Others have different opinions, and I try and remember that. I think I am going to be one of those that takes the empty-nest pretty hard... so I try and enjoy it now while I can.

Beautiful little YBF Luminous Love Illuminating Creme I really don't need you because my stash already contains a rather obscene amount of highlighters I'm not using but how can I possibly resist you?
Beautiful little YBF Luminous Love Illuminating Creme I really don't need you because my stash already contains a rather obscene amount of highlighters I'm not using but how can I possibly resist you?
Most commonly asked question…
"What's your favorite BB Cream?"
It's tough to answer this because I tend to use a different one everyday since I have over 30 tubes in rotation ay any given time and I'm always testing new ones. That's possibly obscene and slightly crazy but I'm just like every other girl or guy out there, I'm seeking flawless skin and BB Creams provide it.
One thing I will say is I go back again and again to a few particularly formulas I love one of which is BRTC Jasmine Water BB Cream.
It tops my hit list.Read More...
Did you manage to get your hands on the Pixi Glow Collection? I finally got my tote that I wanted so badly from Target! It was on back order for ages.
What pieces did you get from the collection?
Anything in particularly you loved?
I think the palette and the Magic Tint Tink were my favs!
And of course Pixi Glow Fairy Dust, that's a no brainer right? Shimmer!
P.S. If you haven't indulged in the collection yet there's a 25% Off coupon after the jump for you!Read More...
You'll probably agree that Sleek Makeup Eau La La Liner is possibly one of the most exciting releases in the eye pencil world this Summer.
Available in 20 eye popping shades this is a collection you won't want to miss if you adore obscure and unique shades of eyeliner like red, bright orange, and yellow (just to name a few).
Scared of yellow and red eyeliner? No worries there's plenty of basic shades for the tamer eyeliner user as well!
Let's take a look!Read More...
NYX Matte Black Liner serves some purpose, not one I know of, but I know somewhere out there, a woman (or man) is wishing for a matte black eyeliner.
No seriously, matte liners have their place even though it is a slightly unique/obscure product. They look considerably more polished and elegant on eyes if you're going for that Dita look.
But they also have issues….Read More...

Check out Bread and Muffin Recipes for Carb Lovers
by The Duo Dishes at Foodie.com
We all have weaknesses, and one of mine is bread. I am not the only one who eagerly eyes full restaurant baskets kept warm under soft linens. And the smell of risen yeast in a bakery, whether it be salty or sweet, is enough to cause my heart to beat quickly with anticipation. There's something about the heartiness of bread–its filling and comforting nature–that also makes it enticing. Bread is more than just the outer layers of a sandwich or the foundation of a crostini. It is an accompaniment that pairs well with salads, soups, stews, and more. Slices or chunks of a loaf can transform into toasted crumbs sprinkled over eggs, French toast with bacon or bread pudding and whipped cream. Versatility is a key feature of an amazing ingredient. Here are a few sweet and savory bread recipes, as well as a few muffins throw in for fun.

Marks showing up after wood stain is applied.
Hi, Sorry if this is a duplicate, I can't find my message posted anywhere so I'm going to try again. I have a wood door that has marks/stains on it that only became visible once an oil based stain was applied. I don't know what caused them, the wood had never been stained before. If necessary I will strip the wood and refinish, but don't want the marks to show again. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Fingerprints, splashes of anything oily (they look like some type of splash mark, even sweat or water on a freshly sanded surface can alter how the satin is then absorbed).
The only way to repair it is usually to re-sand and stain again.
the spots do NOT look like typical grain blotching, but that some liquid splashed on the bare wood.
It is one of the hardest things about finishing wood.
Once the final sanding is done you need to get the surface stained as quickly as you can to protect it from contamination.
When I have had interior woodwork that gets even a few drops of rain or dew I immediately wipe down the whole surface with a damp sponge, then wait for it to dry to a uniform surface again (preferably inside).

3. The JewelThe morning after the accident, before he had been released from hospital, Ryan had an unexpected visitor, Jake Matthews. To say that Ryan was suspicious about Jakes visit would be an understatement.
Err ... hi, said Jake nervously standing at the foot of the bed clutching his bag.
Ryan looked at Jake through narrowed eyes. What do you want, Jake? He head was still a little sore and he wasnt really in the mood to deal with whatever the older boy wanted. He expected Jake was here to try to intimidate him into keeping quiet over what had happened just prior to the accident.
I thought you might want this back, Jake replied reaching into his bag. He pulled out Ryans skateboard and handed it to him. You left it at the top of the cliffs. Ryan took the skateboard and grunted a thank you. An awkward silence hung between the two boys, neither knowing what to say.
So, Ryan said breaking the silence, howd yo
2. The AccidentIt had been nearly four years since his parents had been killed, murdered by his then 17-year-old brother Mark. Ryan had been left for dead, his throat cut and soaked in petrol as his older brother torched the family home. Luckily, he had escaped the fire, releasing himself from his bonds and climbing out of a bedroom window. A neighbour had found the ten-year-old, lying burned and near death from blood loss in the front garden. He had been rushed to hospital where he eventually recovered. The burns had healed but the cut to his throat had left a vicious looking scar. The mental damage however would take much longer to heal. When he tried to tell the police and the doctors that the third body they had found was not his brother, but that it was the body of his brothers accomplice murdered to make it look like Mark had died, no one believed him. Eventually he stopped trying and pretended to accept the official version of events. Deep down however, he never stopped belie

... br> On Friday we headed out early and drove the coastal highway to Rome. It was an easy drive and we stopped at the coastal town of Orbetello. It was set on a peninsula in between to lagoons. Using trip advisor we made our way to a restaurant for lunch that happened to be part of a very exclusive resort. It was set on a cliff side and a quick google search told me the hotel was very luxurious, and also about $700 EU per night. Unfortunately by the time we realized ...

The are rooms dedicated to Botticelli's work (Garth loved the Birth of Venus ...
Under the Tuscan Sun
... adventurous looking back it was actually quite scary and stressful - there were serious risks involved in walking around in the dark and at times we felt quite vulnerable. Given it was only 2.2km or a 5 minute car drive, the fact that it took us 80 minutes shows how far we had gone off track to avoid getting run over. I now also know that they have snakes in Italy, thankfully I didn't know that when I was ducking in the shrubs. A memorable birthday for sure:-)
Etruscans, Romans, and Wine in the Park
The breakfast at Hotel Sole was great. This was an Italian pastry and cake bonanza. They also had some small sandwiches of tomato and cheese and meat and cheese. We did not touch those. Homemade Italian cookies filled with jams and chocolate were also there. Carol focused on the homemade donuts stuffed with vanilla custard and nutella chocolate. They were quite good, but I really enjoyed the chocolate cake that was infused with Frangelico. Just heavenly and good enough ...
Florence the City of Churches
... to eat and visit the Duomo in all it's glory. It is unlike any other church with the beautiful designs all over it, and it dominates the Piazza. We then make our way over to the Ponte Vecchio Bridge. It really is something to behold. It is one of the oldest bridges in Italy which hasn't been destroyed by war. The colours are spectacular in the afternoon light and there are people everywhere! As we walk up towards it from the right hand side I can see a woman closing her ...

I've been looking everywhere recently for a good kabuki brush, but didn't want to shell out $50+. Finally I came across some promising reviews for this brush and decided to run out and buy it, and I'm glad I did. It is so soft, but dense enough to where it picks up a good amount of product and nicely packs it on, without being too much. I also, love using it to buff out my blush, for when I happen to apply too much or it's looking a little patchy. There's not much else to say other than you need to go and pick yourself up one of these babies! I mean, for $6, what is there really to lose?

I really like this brush! Great for applying your powder. I still wouldn't buy this again because there is more usefull brushes out there, but it's still great for such a low price. Very soft and applies your powder just fine. The only thing I didn't like was that it's so small to hold. But I've been using this over 2 years and have washed it several times, it hasn't lost its shape or anything. Would recommend!

I love this brush. Once I tried it, I never want to be without. Good quality and doesn't shed. What more could you ask for?

This brush works well, is soft and full. For the price, it's good. I don't know how long the fibers will stay the same quality, but my first impression was good.

This brush is amazing! So soft and luxurious feeling on the skin. Also, it doesn't shed.
I got mine for $3 on a 50% off sale, but would have paid much more for it. It feels like a high quality brush for very little money. Definitely a keeper.

For the price I say go for it. If you are looking for a kabuki brush its a nice and soft brush but I don't think it is dense enough.

PROS: If there is one brush you should buy from e.l.f.'s studio line, this is it! The brush is so soft and fluffy, and super affordable. One of the biggest benefits of having this brush is its multi-functionality - it can be used to set your makeup with a light powder, apply blush, or blend out blush/bronzer. Even though I've had this brush for quite some time now (at least a couple of years), the brush has maintained its shape, and none of the bristles have fallen out.
CONS: You have to be careful when applying blush with this brush because it does have a larger surface area than most blush brushes.
FINAL THOUGHT: If you can get your hands on one, go buy it! You won't regret it.

This is a wonderful brush for the price. Easily comparable to high end brushes you would find at Sephora! The bristles are amazingly soft and it has a strong sturdy feel to it. No fallout and blends makeup effortlessly.

Love this brush for powder foundation. It gives really good coverage more than I get with the studio powder brush.
I also have one in my purse for touch ups during the day. I can either dab it onto my skin for a touch up or swirl in my powder if I need more coverage or if I need to refresh my makeup to go somewhere after work.
Great face brush

Car: Dodge Aspen R/T
Year: 1976
What makes it special: It was the first year for the Dodge Aspen as a replacement for Dodge's Dart model. It was labeled as the family car of the future with available two, four door and station wagon versions, but the performance modeled R/T was available in a two-door coupe only.
What made it famous: In addition to a front spoiler, side window louvers, rear deck spoiler, body side stripes, blacked out grill, R/T badging and steel rally styled wheels, the performance R/T package featured a 318 cu in V8 standard or an optional 360 cu in V8 with either a 2- or 4-barrel carburetor.
Why I would want one: The 1976 Dodge Aspen R/T is amongst the forgotten muscle cars of the mid 1970's. The '76 model year looks the best because it is simplistic. Later models gained more fluff throughout the remaining years, taking away from its muscle car origins.
Fun fact: F-body cars ( including the Dodge Aspen), were withdrawn from production worldwide after 1980. The Aspen name was revived in 2007 for the Chrysler Aspen SUV.

long island compost organic mulch
I was just about to purchase mini bark nuggets today at the local garden center to top-dress my raised veggie beds when I came across a product I've never seen before.
It's made by Long Island Compost (link below) and it claims to be 100% organic shredded tree mulch for use in gardens. Its claim is that it enriches the soil.
The bags were heavier than normal mulch. I ended up pickup up eight bags so I can fill my 72 sq ft of beds as well as my assortment of GeoPots.
I haven't applied it yet and I'll wait until I get some feedback on this product. Does anyone use this product? It was price at $4.49 a bag which is not too bad at all.
I'll post pics later because I can't seem to find any even with Google Images.
Here is a link that might be useful: Long Island Compost
Long Island Compost makes a lot of products. Which one did you get?
I'm from the Island and they are sold all over the place. I've never bought the stuff but friends who have tend to like it.
Their 3cu ft bags of "grower's mix" are great. It would probably resemble the 511 very closely with some additional pine fines . I use it in large containers right out of the bag with some fertilizer added. I also use it as an amendment in my raised beds when it's time to dump the containers.

Please recommend a landscape designer
Hello Everyone!
I'm new to garden web and long island. I'm looking for a landscape designer in long island to redo my front yard with sod and plantings and for my backyard, pavers, plantings with an outdoor kitchen. Please recommend your a landscaper.
Thanks in advance!
I'm not in your area, but I had good luck with a suggestion someone else on this forum gave me last year. Visit a few of your favorite garden centers (or any reputable garden centers or nurseries in your area), and you can ask if they have any business cards of landscape designers. I found that some centers hardly had any, but one in my area had dozens. You can narrow your choices by looking at the area(s) of specialty each person (or company) is advertising, and from there set up a few interviews and get a feel for who would be a good match for your style and your needs. I was able to find an excellent match and have been really happy with our experience. Good luck!
As a designer one thing you do want to look at their portfolio of pics from previous clients and ask for references. You can also goto Angie's List online and see if there are Designers there for your area. Start a with few you like for price comparisons also.
Why some gardeners come here from local professional designer's office?there haven't any other different opion.
Here,there are Tons different style pics and comments and experience and plant's database and professional designers and landscapers and native and exotic and Inspiration.it can inspire you and tease out of you what you are really looking to do.
Now,You really need to post some pics that show the context and situated and conditions and the property line and the perimeter
of the yard and You need one that shows the overall yard from the street(They are not too close up).
first upload photo to any photo-hosting site.Photobucket and Flickr are examples . While at that photo on the site,
look for a link to "share." Then look for a way of obtaining "html code" (don't select the thumbnail version.)
designoline6, if you carefully read the poster's request, they are looking for someone locally to both design AND plant. While one can sometimes get some decent ideas via an online forum, it is NOT at all the same as an in-person site evaluation and drafted and executed plan. Context and conditions are very difficult to assess accurately via just a few photos. And manual labor via the Internet just sucks!! :-)
Interestingly enuf, you seldom ever see any of the regular, professional participants in this forum providing anything more than a few words of wisdom or general advice.....why do you suppose that is?
gardengal148-I have carefully read the poster's request,just many people don't agree my opinion.
If I think "the Internet just sucks!!" I never stay here long time.
Context and conditions are very EASY to assess accurately via just a few photos and DATABASE and EXPERIENCE.You know,I have done it for many years.I have helped some people many times.except some non-cold tolerant plants, world are not so different.tired native,love exotic.
It is time to CHANGE.Trust our "design forum". it will be accepted by more people.
You can't possibly have read very carefully, else you would not have missed the part about planting and laying sod. Please explain to me how you can accomplish this online......a magical feat I have yet to see achieved digitally.
And if I may be so blunt, if the visual representation of your design suggestions so far is any indication, the need for an onsite, inperson assessment/evaluation of the setting and context before making suggestions is abundantly clear. How can you possibly determine from the one or two distant and somewhat blurry photos provided the sun/shade situation, soil condition, any drainage issues, prevailing wind direction, need for privacy screening or enhancement of views, etc., etc., etc. Or does your "EXPERIENCE" also make you landscape psychic??
Online landscape labor and psychic design skills......what next??
Sorry to all but sometimes my irritation at the utter nonsense this forum can generate just gets the best of me.......
Calm down."irritation" is not good.You could ignore any " nonsense".
"you seldom ever see any of the regular, professional participants in this forum "Right,I,never touch some people and comments.but it isn't "Interestingly"
If we show different opinions politely,I would continue.
I never promise and find anyone demand me accomplish"planting and laying sod" online.
Here only is a "ONLINE" design forum.I know that my designing and suggests sometime don't work.So I always contral myself,limit to show two sheet of white and black pics to post,goal is accept other opinion to improve my design.
But I believe and love this "online" design forum.I often see some suggests of drainage WORK.
The database of soil PH.and climate and sun light time answer is not landscape psychic,but
suggests+unskilled labors+DIYers=nice gardening.often HELP and WORK.
I met NY designer Rebecca Cole a few years back and thought she was wonderfully talented and would be great fun to work with on a project.
Here is her web address : http://www.rebeccacoledesign.com/gardens.php
As a side note, I think it is essential that the designer that you work with have a deep working knowledge of your local climate, horticultural and local code ordinances.
I think it is wonderful that people from around the world are engaged in offering design ideas but having in field local working experience is really quite essential when the project goes from concept to reality.
Design and build landscape is a great landscape design firm and they work all over Long Island.

So the Pearson Twitter "spying" hoo-hah now has a Texas angle
If your kid stripped nekkid in a public park and a cop came over and told him to put something on, would you complain that the cop was "spying" on your kid or accuse her of voyeurism? Me, either.
So explain the burgeoning "controvery" about the fact that Pearson is monitoring social media looking for evidence that students are posting specific information about test questions. I blogged a bit about it when the kerfuffle hit the states that use the PARCC Common Core exam. Folks on the political left and right agree that Pearson is "spying" when it does pretty much the same kind of search you can do on your smartphone to see if kids are Tweeting test specifics.
Walter Stroup, math ed professor at the University of Texas at Austin, weighed in on my blog post with a couple of questions. I will paraphrase: What is Pearson looking for? And what are the intellectual property violations involved by specific information on test questions being Tweeted.
From what Pearson is saying (and I've not seen any refutation) the only thing it's looking for is release of test specifics. Whether or not there's a copyright issue, there's a more practical interest at stake here: States pay Pearson to create a certain number of questions. Tests are held private for a defined number of years, then released. Questions revealed before the agreed-upon release date must be replaced. If it becomes OK for students to Tweet out questions, the state will be paying more to the test company to create more questions.
Plus, questions revealed in one state (for PARCC) before the test is given in another state breach test security.
Anyway, there is now a Texas-specific angle to the story. A group called the Texas Parents' Educational Rights Network has sent a letter to the TEA asking whether Pearson is doing similar monitoring regarding STAAR. I'm not familiar with the group and can't find an "about" online. The first posting on the group's website was April 2, 2014.
The letter to TEA is signed by "R. Scott Placek, Chairman." There's a lawyer in Round Rock with that name. I've emailed him to see if he's the guy and, if so, what he can tell me about the group. If I get word back. I'll post it.
Here's the letter:
March 18, 2015
Dear Commissioner Williams:
Recent news items from New Jersey and Maryland have confirmed that Pearson Education engages in active monitoring of social media accounts of students who take Pearson created standardized assessments. Pearson Education proudly asserts the importance of its review of the social media posts of minors in the name of test security and protection of intellectual property rights. At the same time, however, it appears to have prevailed upon its software vendor to remove any reference to their work together from the vendor's website. This dissonance between its public stance and private actions is concerning. It is unclear to what extent Pearson engages in social media monitoring of children in Texas. However, from its public statements in regard to New Jersey and Maryland, there seems to be little doubt that Pearson does or intends to monitor Texas students online social media postings.
In that regard, the Texas Parents' Educational Rights Network respectfully requests that the Commissioner or his designee answer the following questions for Texas parents:
(1) To what extent does Pearson Education monitor the social media postings of Texas students? Is social media monitoring a part of the Pearson contract? If so, how much do Texas taxpayers pay Pearson to review the internet postings of Texas students?
(2) What restrictions are placed on Pearson Education's use of data derived from social media monitoring of Texas students, both as to data that may trigger further action in the name of test security, but also data that does not raise any alerts, but is nonetheless captured and reviewed by Pearson? In what document may those restrictions, if any, be found?
(3) What notice, if any, is provided to Texas parents and students that their social media postings may be monitored by Pearson or the TEA? In what documents may any such notices be found?
(4) What safeguards does Pearson Education have in place to assure that its staff that reviews social media postings of minors does not misuse this information for private and/or improper purposes? There is no doubt that contact via social media is a primary grooming tool for child predators. How does Pearson screen its employees to assure that those employees permitted to review the social media posting of children are not risks to child safety? Does Pearson's monitoring software separate content from identity, such that no one person can obtain information that might enable this information to be used privately for threatening or grooming purposes? What written policies does Pearson have in place regarding private usage of this information by its employees and how are those policies enforced?
It is a sad truth of our modern age that technology has enabled child predators to approach and groom victims in relative anonymity. It is a further truth that predators gravitate to work which enables them contact with potential victims. Any business which engages in the monitoring of social media of minors must be aware of these risks and proactively address them. Texas parents deserve to know what steps Pearson has taken to assure the safety of Texas students whose internet activity is being actively monitored.
With the first STAAR administrations of 2015 forthcoming, your timely response to this inquiry would be appreciated.
R. Scott Placek
Texas Parents' Educational Rights Network
Nothing the matter with asking questions. I do it all the time. But several of these leave me puzzled. Grooming by "child predators?" Through searches through the all-too-public Twitterverse for mentions of Pearson-created exams? I'll admit I don't get it.
TEA is preparing a reply. I'll post it when I get it.

A heartwarming event triggered a win-win situation for five year-old Miles Scott and the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which earlier this week orchestrated a super hero-sized 'wish' that turned San Francisco into Gotham City and Scott into "Batkid."
Cruising the city in his Batmobile (a Lamborghini), Scott captured the hearts of millions following along on social media—even prompting a Vine video from President Obama.
Miles recently finished chemotherapy treatment for leukemia, and his wish to be a crime-fighting superhero for a day is one for the books in how to pull-off a successful social media event with a little planning, a little savvy and a little moxie.
And while Scott's wish was perhaps unique, his is just one of thousands that the foundation grants every year. So why did this particular stunt grow to such viral proportions?Continue reading...

The Muscles from Brussels has gotten plenty a movie workout with his martial-arts legerdemain. But seldom has Jean-Claude Van Damme had so many people see one of his physical feats of flexibility and strength so quickly as in the new ad for Volvo Truck's steering technology. At least 27 million people and rising have seen Volvo's new online-only ad in less than a week.
In the spot, Van Damme straddles the space between two Volvo trucks moving side by side and backward only by resting his feet on a side mirror of each truck. The stunt is meant to demonstrate the equilibrium and precision and reliability of the brand's new dynamic-steering system, as Van Damme "stands," all spread out, for what seems like interminable seconds in the video.
Yes, Van Damme ultimately was secured from a grisly accident by thin safety wires that aren't visible in the video. Van Damme's feet aren't lashed to the mirrors, video director Andreas Nilsson told the Wall Street Journal, "but we had him rigged so that if he would fall off he wouldn't die obviously. We didn't want to be responsible for killing the Muscles from Brussels."Continue reading...

How prepared Texas State Senator Wendy Davis was when she began her now historic filibuster of an abortion bill on the floor of the Texas legislature is unclear. She was certainly unprepared enough to haven't secured a deal with Mizuno, the athletic brand of footwear she made iconic.
"Mizuno was surprised by the sudden spotlight focused on our flagship running shoe," the company told brandchannel in an email. And even though the brand said "there are no metrics that suggest a spike in sales" it was encouraged that its "Wave Rider fans seem to be excited to see such attention on their favorite running shoe."
On her way to making a name for herself politically, Democratic Texas Senator Davis appears to have unintentionally made quite a name for the Mizuno running shoe brand.Continue reading...

The recent, cartoonish prospective print ads by Ford's agency in India—depicting Silvio Berlusconi and Paris Hilton as heartless kidnappers—turned out to be mere child's play in the modern universe of tin-eared automotive marketing. Hyundai has just set the bar at a new low with an online ad in Europe for its iX35 fuel-cell car, which depicts a suicide attempt in the car—which eventually fails because of the vehicles clean emissions.
The spot by Innocean, Hyundai's agency of record because it is owned by Hyundai, shows a man sitting in the driver's seat of a Hyundai in his garage, having made all the necessary preparations for offing himself by breathing in carbon monoxide. But, despite the foreboding music, it doesn't work. The commercial shows a tube—run into the passenger compartment from the exhaust pipe—emitting what looks like smoke but turns out to be vapor, as the car runs on "100-percent water emissions," a tagline informs the viewer. The guy is out of luck.
Hyundai today pulled the ad (which was posted last week) from YouTube, but it has gone wildly viral and enraged the brand's fans and non-fans the world over. "Hyundai understands the video has caused offense," Hyundai Europe said in a statement (update: scroll down for additional statements). "We apologize unreservedly. The video has been taken down and will not be used in any of our advertising or marketing."Continue reading...

Only four percent of women worldwide consider themselves beautiful according to Dove, whose latest installment of its famed Real Beauty campaign presents a social experiment to dispell negative personal perceptions.
The tagline of the campaign, "You are more beautiful than you think," demonstrates the disparity between a woman's self-image and a stranger's perception, playing on the common saying , "You are your own worst critic."
Created by Ogilvy Brazil, FBI-trained artist Gil Zamora, an forensic expert who has sketched more than 3,000 eye witness reports, first drew portraits of seven women of different ages and backgrounds according to their own description, followed by sketches of those same women according to strangers who had just met them on the same day.
In the "Dove Real Beauty Sketches" video (watch below) produced for the campaign, the participants say things like, "My mom told me I had a big jaw," "I kind of have a fat, rounder face," and "I'd say I have a pretty big forehead."Continue reading...

The Dark Underbelly of Leadership Part 3: Self-Awareness and Leadership
in Culture
As the Dark Underbelly of Leadership series continues, it wouldn't be complete without a program on Self-Awareness.
According to Chris Lowney, former Jesuit and bestselling author of "Heroic Leadership," leaders thrive by understanding who they are and what they value, by becoming aware of unhealthy blind spots or weaknesses that can derail them, and by cultivating the habit of continuous self-reflection and learning.
Easier said than done. So, the question becomes, "How am I showing up?" and how does it impact my reputation, my success, and those who choose to follow or co-create with me?
We are a culture obsessed with celebrity so the idea of a leader who puts the success of the organization and those with whom s/he works ahead of him or herself, well, it just doesn't get much press.
Hosts Linda Lombardo and Joss Rowlands take a deep dive into self-awareness from the perspective of leadership and share the "extra" dimension that only self-awareness can bring to a leader and ultimately, her or his success.

Sexy Leadership with Ruth Sinkeler
in Entrepreneur
Ruth Sinkeler CPCC, ACC, Human Developer, Expert in Sexy Leadership & UBUNTU Leadership, Happy MKB, Executive/ Business Coach,Speaker, and Author shares her insight on making Leadership sexy again.
What does leadership have to do with sex?
What makes you sexy and attractive as a leader? This is the BIG question waiting to be answered.
Leadership has everything to do with being your most authentic self and living according to your values first. When you live your life from your core values and you act from them.
Leading from authenticity creates trust. And trust is one of the biggest things anyone who calls him or herself a leader needs. To create trust with people you want to follow you is one of the biggest challenges of any leader. There is nothing to lead if no one trusts you.
Is being a leader exclusively for an elite group? No it is not. There are many examples of people from all parts of society, genders and races, who stepped into their authenticity, lived according to their core values, created trust and have followers.
Another thing leaders have in common is that they truly live by their passion. Whether it is a passion for garbage cleaning or for politics. It does not matter. Anyone who has a great passion and inspires others to do the same or achieve their dreams has leader qualities
A true leader is aware of his or her impact on people and takes responsibility for his or her actions. It might happen that even if acted from authenticity, core values and passion the impact on others is not that positive. Taking responsibility is of big importance in that case. Leaders don't just create an impact and walk away. They stay and find ways to turn things around, the positive way. After all, it was all about creating trust, right?
What does this have to do with sex? Maybe not much, but this sexy way of Leadership sure sounds hot.
