I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Paychex (Kent, WA) in September 2013.
I was contacted by a recruiter. Upon an interview for a sales position; despite my extensive experience (5 years beyond the minimum required), high performance in previous positions, with reputable companies, and extensive education, the interviewer took one look at me and my resume an asked, "How did you not know that Anthropology was not a career choice?" He continued to ask me if, "I worked in non-profit development because I came from poverty," and had a general condescending tone. He was completely unaware that Anthropology is the study of human culture. Therefore, giving me an additional awareness of human interaction, experience in research and more specifically market research which should have been seen as an amplification of my talents for a sales position, not a detriment. He was also unaware that non-profit development is quite literally asking for money without giving the donor anything in return. I've had to sell people on the idea of giving to benefit someone other than themselves. It was obvious that, as a manager, he had no idea how to interview someone and quite frankly I am surprised he is in charge of the hiring process. He does not recognize integrity or professionalism. I obviously did not get a job offer. However, I am now employed with one of the larger non-profits in the Seattle area and in 4 months I have already led a team to achieve over 100K in donation and memberships, as well as, bringing in about the same in group visits and rentals. I am a highly professional individual from the Chicago land area and have been employed with top companies in my field. I have never experienced such unprofessional behavior from a potential employer in my life, and that is saying a lot as a minority female. The interviewers' behavior border lined on racism and harassment.
Interview Questions
I applied online. I interviewed at Paychex (Omaha, NE).
Very unprofessional interview with local sales manager. When I was told first thing that they were looking for "diversity' in the workplace I knew there were issues. Worst interview of all time and the Omaha branch has a nutcase as a manager!
Interview Questions
I applied online. I interviewed at Paychex.
I saw an opening at a local office so I applied online and then I reached out and found out who the recruiter was. He was a young kid right out of college it seems, but very nice. Had the initial phone interview which was basic, more so just educating me on the position. I then scheduled in person interview with a sales manager. That went well I guess, since I was passed on to the next step which was an interview with 2 district sales managers. That I thought went well, but the recruiter emailed me a couple hours later saying they are looking at other candidates. The next step would have been a "personality test" and a ride day where you shadow a current sales rep. Paychex is very corporate in their process just like ADP, Cintas, etc. They are looking for a specific type of candidate and I'm not sure who exactly it is. I'm guessing I didn't tow the company line enough although I was complimenting Paychex throughout the interview. I come from a sales background so I know what they're looking for as sales managers; but no such luck. One of the district managers was a clean cut, young white guy who was nice but was wearing a bow tie and a sweater vest. I think that should give you an idea of the type of person who they might be looking for (can anyone say milquetoast?). Stay on top of your phone and email follow ups; good luck.

Might get a 05 Langster used pretty cheap. However, it's a 56cm and I'm 5 9'' 31 inseam, now I heard the geomerty is compact, so do these run small?
Might get a 05 Langster used pretty cheap. However, it's a 56cm and I'm 5 9'' 31 inseam, now I heard the geomerty is compact, so do these run small?
No, a 56 will likely be large for you. I am a bit taller than you and felt that my 56 was too big, especially the TT
Ride it and see.
i ride a 56 at 5'11 and it fits just right, you might want to look for a 54
Compact geometry just means you'll have more standover than a traditional-geometried bike. It doesn't (shouldn't) affect the sizing of the frame.

A 56 might feel a bit long for you, but it really depends on the geometry of YOUR body too. If you have a long torso in comparison to your legs, it might be just right.
Aw man, you're goin wangster on us? Naw but really those bikes are okay, we built up an 07 today, cheez-tastic man. It has skulls on the frame and fork, lame but its drilled for a back rack which is kinda rad. It's no track bike though, that's for sure.
I've ridden mine on the track several times. The geometry is not as appropriate for a velodrome as my Rock Lobster, but I didn't have any problems spankin people on it or having a blast on it.Originally Posted by katio
I'd bet 95% of the people who post on this forum who own "track bikes" as you call them, have never ridden them through a banked turn. Maybe you're one of them?
Plantdude, I don't even OWN a track bike but a road frame I picked up for 30 bucks and converted. I wish I had the duckets to buy atleast a Langster but still I am annoyed that Specialized "cheez-a-fied" a potentially badass bike with gothic writing and skulls AND charge so freaking much!

Recipient of the 2015 Houtermans Award:
Caroline L. Peacock
Caroline L. Peacock is an Associate Professor in the School of Earth and Environment at the University of Leeds, UK.
Caroline is originally from London, UK and holds a Bachelor of Science Honours and a PhD degree from the University of Bristol, UK. After graduating her PhD in 2005, Caroline did a short post-doc at the University of Bristol before becoming a lecturer in geochemistry in the School of Earth and Ocean Science at the University of Southampton, UK in 2006. In 2009 Caroline moved to the University of Leeds as a lecturer in biogeochemistry, and became an associate professor of biogeochemistry in 2013. Caroline's research focuses on the biogeochemistry of metals in terrestrial and marine environments, with particular focus on the molecular-level processes that govern the distribution of metals between soils, sediments and natural waters. These processes ultimately control the abundance of metals in both modern and ancient environments, and are therefore key to understanding metal cycling on both a local and global scale. Caroline uses a combination of laboratory experiments, advanced synchrotron-based spectroscopic techniques and geochemical modeling to achieve her research goals.
You can find additional information about Caroline and her research group on her website http://homepages.see.leeds.ac.uk/~earclpe/
Make a nomination for the Houtermans Award 2016 before 15 November 2015.

Usually its the plastic handle that breaks. Take the seat out and remove the base, two 10 mm bolts and the seat back with a flat bladed driver and check the cable is still attached.
The plastic handle is just pressed in.
So does that mean I can just pull out the handle? and see if it's still attached?
The cable appears still attached at the bottom, to the mechanism... but when you pull the handle at the top, nothing happens at the bottom....
How can I remove the seat back with a flat driver? I don't want to rip it, is it that flap part at the bottom? does that undo?... i was worried i'd break it.

TV's bold actress Deepshikha Nagpal who appeared in Baal Veer on SAB
TV as Bawander Pari is all set to make an entry in a popular show Madhubala - Ek Ishq Ek Junoon on Colors as Abhay Kapoor's (Gunjan Utreja) mother.
Deepshikha who is very much appreciated for her acting skills has an utmost desire to work with the legendary
actor Amitabh Bachchan. The actress who is active on the social networking sites tweeted that "@SrBachchan sir my wish I want to face camera with u once. And my wish is the universe command."
Well it will be dream come true for the actress who has acted in more than Bollywood films but will work with the super star for the very first time in her life.
When contacted Deepshikha to know more about her desire of working with Mr. Bachchan, she told us, "Which actress doesn't want to work with Mr. Amitabh Bachchan. He is a legendary star and I am a big fan of Mr. Bachchan. I have already done many films with almost all top actors, but I never got a chance to work with Amitabhji. I really want to work with him at least once. I follow him on social networking sites, I read all his post."
Post her role of a mother in Sony TV's Hongey Judaa Na Hum, this bold actress is once again set to play the role of a mother in Color's show Madhubala- Ek Ishq Ek Junoon. When asked Deepshikha about the same, she says, "I am playing Abhay Kapoor's mother and it's a character with a grey shade. I know I have mostly played negative roles in my career, may be because of my personality but let me tell you that, I am completely different person in real life. I enjoy doing roles of vamp as I am appreciated for those kinds of roles."
She further adds, "When Madhubala happened to me I was getting offer for films also, but I chose to be a part of Madhubala because it is a very nice show and I really like this show."
Well, as per the news which were making the rounds from quite some time now about many TV actors are being considered for the role of Abhay Kapoor, it was observed that even Deepshikha's husband Kishav Arora's name was being considered for Abhay Kapoor's role. So when asked Deepshikha if Kaishav Arora would have been roped in to play the character of Abhay Kapoor, would she still aceept this role? She simply says, "I would have rejected the role because I don't want to play his mother's role."
We wish Deepshikha all the very best for her film as well as her role in Madhubala - Ek Ishq Ek Junoon!

BOSTON — Like many veterans, former Boston Celtic guard Keyon Dooling is in wait-and-see mode with NBA training camps kicking off in about a month.
The uncertainty as to whether he will be signed by an NBA team has led the 13-year-veteran to give some thought to taking his game overseas this season ... possibly to China.
"I have to play this year," Dooling told CSNNE.com in a phone interview on Monday. "I've made that decision. This year for sure, I am playing."
Orlando had expressed interest in Dooling early in free agency, but at that time he said he wasn't ready to commit to the Magic.
"I thought the free agency would pick up and I would have a better opportunity to win," Dooling said. "A lot has changed from the first couple of days of free agency, until now."
There have been a handful of teams that remain interested in Dooling, a list that includes Memphis which is the team he joined shortly before the playoffs this past season and helped them advance to the Western Conference finals were they were swept by NBA Finals runner-up San Antonio.
And yes, Dooling said he and his representatives have expressed an open-minded approach about possibly playing in China this season as well.
"We've been planting some seeds, but at this point right now, I want to play in the league (NBA)," Dooling said. "You don't want to go the international route unless it's a quality offer and a quality situation."
However, that market which in some ways is similar to the NBA, is looking a lot closer at college players or young, up-and-coming talent that maybe isn't quite ready for the NBA.
As for veterans in China, there's a greater emphasis placed on adding former NBA superstars past their prime like Tracy McGrady and Allen Iverson, both of whom recently retired.
Dooling has been a solid role player throughout his career, the kind of veteran that NBA teams looking to strengthen their roster both on the floor and inside the locker room, have added without hesitation.
But the new Collective Bargaining Agreement has teams more focused on keeping their player salaries from escalating too high.
A team looking to sign Dooling to a one-year, veteran's minimum deal would pay him $1,399,507, with $515,214 of that salary paid by the league office because Dooling is a veteran with more than three years of service in the NBA.
The difference between those two figures, $884,293, is still more than a one-year, minimum contract for a rookie ($490,180) or a player with one year of experience ($788, 872) which is why teams may look to go in that direction rather than add an established, battle-tested veteran.
"Older players, veteran players, cost more at the end of the day," Dooling said. "But we have value; great value. You look at teams that win, win big, they have veterans both with their core group and on the bench.
Dooling added, "And even for teams with young talent, someone has to show them what hard work and work ethic are about. But if you got a team full of young players, how are they going to know what this league is about or what it takes to be successful?"
Prior to the start of the 2012-2013 season, Dooling abruptly announced his retirement which was why the Celtics waived him.
Soon after he retired, Dooling spent some time working for the Celtics in addition to Comcast SportsNet, before getting the itch to return to the floor.
The terms of his buyout with the Celtics would not allow him to rejoin the C's who at the time had a need at his position with Rajon Rondo and Leandro Barbosa both going down with season-ending torn ACL injuries.
Instead, Dooling signed with Memphis in April.
The 6-foot-3 guard appeared in seven regular season games with the Grizzlies, averaging 4.4 points in 11.7 minutes per game.
In the playoffs, he averaged 1.9 points while playing 8.1 minutes per game.
Dooling still looking to play in NBA this season

U.K. Stocks Drop Amid Chinese Growth Concern; BHP Falls
U.K. stocks tumbled by the most in two weeks as concern about slowing growth in China, the world's second-biggest economy, sparked a selloff in metal producers.
Rio Tinto Group and BHP Billiton Ltd. dropped more than 4 percent after executives from both companies warned of a slowdown in China and as copper inventories rose in Shanghai. Debenhams Plc paced advancing shares after the retailer reported a pickup in sales growth.
The FTSE 100 fell 1.2 percent to 5,891.41 at the London close, the biggest drop since March 6. The gauge yesterday slid from an eight-month high after Chinese house price data recorded the worst month in at least a year. The FTSE-All Share Index lost 1.2 percent today, while Ireland's ISEQ Index retreated 0.9 percent.
"The Chinese government is trying to manufacture a moderate slowdown," said Keith Bowman, an equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown Stockbrokers in London. "For the time being, investors will take that with a pinch of caution. News of rising fuel prices in China on the back of falling house prices may have damped investor sentiment."
China, the world's largest oil consumer after the U.S., yesterday increased gasoline and diesel prices for the second time in less than six weeks after crude last month gained the most in a year. Earlier this month the Chinese government cut its target for annual economic growth this year to 7.5 percent from a previous forecast of 8 percent.
Rio, BHP Billiton
Rio Tinto, the world's third-largest mining company, dropped 4.2 percent to 3,464.5 pence as a gauge of U.K. metal producers lost 3.6 percent to below its 200-day moving average.
"The rate of GDP growth in China is more immediately slowing," Rio's David Joyce, managing director of expansion projects, said at a conference in Perth, Australia. "We remain confident on the basis of the figures we have seen, of a soft landing, with solid growth for this year."
Larger rival BHP slid 4.1 percent to 1,965 pence after the company said China's steel production is slowing as the country shifts its focus away from large building projects to consumers.
Kazakhmys Plc fell 2.5 percent to 940.5 pence, Antofagasta Plc slid 3.6 percent to 1,201 pence and Vedanta Resources Plc retreated 4 percent to 1,361 pence.
Copper slid by the most in two weeks on the London Metal Exchange amid rising stockpiles in China.
Inventories at bonded warehouses in Shanghai climbed to 530,000 tons last week, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg News survey of traders and analysts. This compares with about 200,000 tons in the fourth quarter, said Qu Yi, an analyst at CRU International Ltd.
Glencore, Hochschild
Glencore International Plc slid 1.6 percent to 413.8 pence after the largest publicly traded commodity supplier agreed to buy Viterra Inc. for C$6.1 billion ($6.15 billion) to add grain assets in Canada and Australia.
Hochschild Mining Plc, a producer of precious metals in Peru and Argentina, tumbled 5.2 percent to 462.9 pence even as the company reported a 42 percent rise in full-year profit today.
The shares fell with the price of gold amid concern that demand will drop in India and China, the world's biggest buyers.
India's demand may plunge 35 percent this year after the government increased the gold-import tax, according to the Bombay Bullion Association.
Debenhams Store Sales
Elsewhere, Debenhams climbed 1.1 percent to 76.55 pence as the U.K.'s second-largest department-store company reported a 2.4 percent rise in sales at stores open at least a year in the eight weeks to March 3. Growth for the 26 weeks to that date was 0.3 percent.
Chief Executive Officer Michael Sharp said the retailer is "comfortable" with the outlook for the year.
Cable & Wireless Worldwide Plc jumped 8.9 percent to 38 pence after Dow Jones reported Tata Communications Ltd. is close to making a formal cash bid for the company.
Vodafone Group Plc, which may also make a formal offer for C&W Worldwide, rose 2.1 percent to 170.80 pence. The deadline for both companies to submit an official offer is March 29.
Separately, India's Supreme Court reaffirmed its earlier dismissal of a $2.2 billion tax claim on Vodafone after the government last month petitioned it to reconsider its decision.
Henderson Group Plc slid 0.9 percent to 126.5 pence. The shares earlier climbed to a six-month high after the Daily Mail reported it may be acquired by a financial-services company, without saying where it got the information.
The fund manager said on Feb. 29 that clients pulled 6.4 billion pounds of assets last year and warned of an "uncertain" outlook for 2012.

text: The Set Design of Family Ties\u000AIn honor of the 30th anniversary of the hit \u002780s television show, we look back at the classic sitcom\u0027s decade-defining set designs\u000AThe Keatons\u0027 iconic living room, featuring a Victorian camelback sofa, Tiffany-style lamp, and elaborate swag curtains, was a familiar sight for 176 episodes. Modeled after the childhood home of executive producer Gary David Goldberg, the exterior of the middle-class residence was never seen. (Though the show was set in Columbus, Ohio, the series was filmed on a soundstage at Paramount Studios in Hollywood.) A baby-faced Tom Hanks (center) appears here in a cameo alongside regular cast members (from left to right) Tina Yothers, Michael J. Fox, Justine Bateman, Meredith Baxter, and Michael Gross.\u000AVeteran set decorator Freddie J. Rymond, who created the series\u0027s folksy interiors, reflected, \u0022Most sitcoms evolved around the living room in those days, and they all pretty much had the same furnishings.\u0022 Here, the majority of the dining room\u0027s set decor came from the now defunct Paramount prop department; the Windsor chairs and table and the harvest-gold wall color (also used in the living room) provide a glimpse into the decorative styles of the \u002780s.\u000ARymond received numerous requests from viewers regarding the kitchen set\u0027s appliances; of particular interest was the Wolf commercial-style range, an item that was gaining popularity in the consumer-driven \u002780s. Executive producer Gary David Goldberg, who was very specific about the set\u0027s decor, had a Wolf range in his home in Los Angeles. Here, Michael J. Fox as fan favorite Alex P. Keaton talks with younger brother Andy (Brian Bonsall).\u000AThe kitchen was the epicenter of the Keaton family\u0027s activity and one of the multicamera sitcom\u0027s three primary sets. Due to limited space, Rymond explains, \u0022We used swing walls for the sets and it was not uncommon to have another set on the back wall.\u0022 The muted floral wallpaper, copper pots, wall calendars, bulletin boards, and the rack lined with coffee cups reflect the classic all-American kitchen of the day.\u000AAt its best, set decor defines and supports a character—here, hanging above the bed of Alex P. Keaton is a poster of conservative icon William F. Buckley, Jr., rather than, say, Farrah Fawcett, who was probably the more popular poster subject of the time. The bedside WKS lamp comes from the local public television station where father Steven Keaton works.\u000ARymond used what he called a \u0022conglomeration\u0022 of accessories to decorate youngest daughter and resident tomboy Jennifer\u0027s (Tina Yothers) bedroom. A pop-cultural mélange consisting of a Cleveland Browns pennant, a white iron–and-brass bed, and a world-globe throw pillow round out the set. (You can almost smell the hairspray.)\u000AOne of the sets added to the fourth season was the garage apartment of character—and \u002780s heartthrob—Nick Moore (Scott Valentine). Complete with a motorcycle, a dartboard, and bicycle handlebars as wall art, Rymond\u0027s design here was clearly influenced by that of another popular sitcom set in the Midwest—Happy Days.\u000AMom and dad Elyse and Steven\u0027s (Meredith Baxter and Michael Gross, respectively) master bedroom was reminiscent of so many interiors of the \u002780s—shelves filled with clutter and white porcelain figurines, tchotchkes and knickknacks from a lifetime of family vacations, and, in what might have been a wry homage to The Godfather, a mounted pony\u0027s head.

About 150 years ago, my Lakota Sioux ancestors were driven off their ancient traditional midwestern plains homeland, and deep into Oklahoma and Texas. Where they married into a family that was of English ancestry. The Depression-era dust-bowl sent the family packing to a small ranching community in southern California, where I was born in 1960.The way the English side of my family looked down on and mistreated the Native side, put me through levels of hell that no child should have to deal with. Until I left and moved in with my grandma, whose Lakota name translates as "Pretty Reed in the Swamp." She took me under wing and taught me about her culture's old ways. I learned from her everything I would need to survive as an adult; one lesson I learned well from her was to be grateful to Mother Earth for giving me both sexual desires and a body that would make men want to take care of those desires. I even started using Reed as my last name in her honor (not my real last name) and have used it through three marriages.In my senior year of high school, I boldly convinced the hottest guy in my class, Tom J., to take me to Senior Prom; all the prettier girls had been too shy to ask him. I figured the worst he could do was say no, and no harm done. When he said yes, I booked us a motel room for prom night and told him I was determined to wake up the next morning with my pussy full of his come. I got what I wanted, and more: I got knocked-up on prom night! At 19, in 1979, I gave birth to my beautiful eldest daughter. The busybodies in our small town pressured him to marry me, which neither of us wanted, and at 21, I gave birth to my only son. Our shotgun marriage never really worked for either Tom or me, and after our divorce, I was left to work and support two children as a single mom. I also went off to college and got my bachelor's degree in Education, so I could get better-paying jobs to support myself and my two children.I still wanted and needed love and affection and yes sex too, and eventually I met and married my second husband, Mr. F. We had two daughters together. He clearly loved the two children we had together, much more than the two I had with Tom. My teaching jobs weren't that great, so I went back to school and earned my Masters in Education. Mr. F was not at all supportive of my bettering myself this way.The only teaching job I could get with my new M.A. degree turned out to be at a junior college in far-off Missouri. Having not been supportive about my two eldest children nor my Masters degree, it really wasn't much of a surprise that he wouldn't move to Missouri with me. I was 37, a very sexual woman, far from home, lonely and almost constantly horny. When I had a chance to have an affair with a very hot 22-year-old student of mine, I didn't really contemplate it much, I just had him fuck me everywhere we could be alone together on campus. The Dean eventually found out, and fired me. I had been fired basically for cheating on my husband, and when he found out, he divorced me, took my two youngest children, and I went almost bankrupt paying child support to him. He spent years teaching my two youngest what a horrible lying cheating woman their mother was, and only in their late 20s did they stop hating me and begin to barely tolerate my existence.I moved far away from him and my two youngest, and started over with my two oldest in a new town. Frank N., the manager of the supermarket I shopped at, was hot as hell, and we began sleeping together and eventually got married. Frank is my husband #3 and we are still married, but several years into our marriage he developed crazy hateful obsessions about a few people, and he turned very mean in general. So I sleep in a separate bedroom from him. We stay married only for financial reasons.I still love sex, so I have taken several lovers over the years. The third of these, Eric, I fell in love with in 2008 and still love him, but with both of us married, we couldn't make it work, and after just 18 months, we had to end it. Some of my stories and photos here are about me and Eric.Eric encouraged me to get my Ph.D., which I did even though Frank was against it. Eric helped me study (on those rare occasions when his tongue wasn't in my pussy,). My employer paid for my degree, but with the stipulation that I had to get my doctorate in environmental science, not in Education as with my B.A. and M.A.I had another affair a few months after Eric and I split up, but that didn't last very long. Neither did the next affair after that.I met my current boyfriend Dave in the audience of a rock concert in 2012. He is my personal STUD, and a lot of my stories and pics here are about Dave and me. I drop by his house on the way to work or at lunch time, every day that I can, for a 69 or a cock ride or a doggie.In 2013, I developed an INSTANT attraction to my first (and so far only) woman, named Justine. We make sweet love together every chance we get, usually about 3 days a week. Some of my photos and stories here are about Justine and me.In 2014, Justine met her current boyfriend, a hot Italian stud named Vince, who packs 10 spectacular inches into his tight jeans (my Dave has a magnificent 8 inches). Every couple of months, Dave, Vince, Justine, and I get together. Justine and I lie down side by side and watch each other's enjoyment as Dave fucks me hard while Vince fucks Justine just as hard. Our foursomes always end the same way: our men watch as Justine and I have a 69 followed by intense grinding of clit on clit.My husband Frank does NOT know about any of my affairs.Should I ever find a financially painless way out of my empty marriage to Frank, Justine and I would like very much to marry each other. And of course we want tot continue to have Dave service me and Vince service her, for those (frequent) occasions when we get cock-hungry.My most recent pics and stories reflect this current situation with Dave, Justine, Vince, me, and Frank.So despite being financially trapped in a loveless, sexless, joyless marriage, my current sex situation is the best it has ever been in my life.
Bernie Sanders seems to have the most intelligent things to say so far. His age hurts his chances, though.
I had a boyfriend in 2008 who used to make me giggle during sex. My giggles would get him extra hard. So while I didn't fake giggle, I did look for opportunities that would make me giggle and thus arouse him. He said that a woman so thoroughly enjoying making love with him that it caused her to giggle joyously. was very sexy. And I agree with the comments of others, my giggles would be mixed in with moans, s, sighs, sporadic breathing, and happy little contented purrs.
For me it's that moment when he throbs powerfully in my mouth as he stiffens into full and complete hardness. That feels so good to me, plus I know there's no turning back and I am going to eventually feels and taste his explosion. And, I have to admit, there's that sense of pride, that I caused him to react like that.
12 men and one woman
How is it that you know his size? She told me and I have seen it, just i don't touch it (yet) until she (hopefully) some day tells me I can.
I am sure that there is a guy out there are you describe and I will keep searching! We are all searching. Good luck sweetie.
My girlfriend's boyfriend has 10 inches. I drool at the thought of getting to enjoy him like she does. But I love her and respect her too much to make a move on her Mister Tree Trunk. Nope, can't be too big for me! :) 4 children have exited, if it's big enough for them to exit, it sure is big enough for any guy to enter ;)

North by Northwest. Eva Marie Saint was originally supposed to say to Cary Grant: "I never make love on an empty stomach!" But the line got censored and overdubbed although you can see her mouthing those words. I feel the same way, need the energy to keep the sex going!!! LOL

Those here on this site who know me, already know the basics of my story. I have been married three times, divorced twice, and for financial reasons I'm now trapped in a loveless, joyless, sexless third marriage. Frank doesn't hit me or anything, there's just really no marriage anymore. But I still really, really enjoy sex…just not with Frank any more. Over the past eight years since...

As those here at Lush who know me already know, I'm twice divorced. And things haven't been good at all with my third husband these past 8 or 9 years.

I think I was in my late 20s or early 30s when I first got the idea in my head that I wanted to make love on a deserted stretch of beach with nobody else around.

Some Disturbing Trends In Gun ViolenceTuesday, January 28, 2014
To the Editor:
Assault Weapons: The Eyes Of The BeholdersFriday, January 17, 2014
To the Editor:
The National Shooting Sports Foundation is receiving attention this week as their flagship convention The Shot Show takes place this week in Las Vegas. I was one of a number of local residents participating in the Newtown Action Alliance's press conference and demonstration on Monday, calling for the firearms industry to take a more responsible role and join others working to prevent gun violence.
Foley Courts Gun Owners Without Promising Sandy Hook RepealWednesday, January 15, 2014
MIDDLETOWN – Republican gubernatorial contender Tom Foley told the state's largest gun group Tuesday night that he would block further gun-control legislation if elected, but he has no plans to seek repeal of the sweeping changes to the state's gun laws approved last year in the wake of the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Demonstrators Protest NSSF's Firearms Trade ShowMonday, January 13, 2014
Several dozen demonstrators who favor strengthened gun control conducted a news conference on Monday morning, January 13, across the street from the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) on Mile Hill Road to endorse tighter gun controls, a cause energized by the December 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook School, in which 20 first-graders and six school staff members were killed.
Security Precautions At The High SchoolFriday, January 3, 2014
To the Editor:
The Newtown High School has installed new protocols regarding students and visitors entering the building. Although some of these new procedures might be unnecessarily over cautious (drop boxes in vestibule for items to be delivered to students and adults surrendering car keys to security), hopefully these new steps will deter someone with bad intentions from committing violence in the school.
Where Shooting Is a Family SportTuesday, December 31, 2013
To the Editor:
Dr Adrienne Bentman of the state's Sandy Hook Advisory Commission complains that State's Attorney Sedensky's final report released November 25 "is like someone threw up the pieces of a puzzle and then said here's a few pieces of the sky and a few pieces of the grass."
What Has NSSF Done To Support The Newtown Community?Monday, November 25, 2013

Guns Don't Kill People... But Then They Save People?Friday, October 25, 2013
To the Editor
Impressed By The Junior NAAMonday, October 14, 2013
To the Editor:
Recently, my husband and I travelled to Washington, DC with the Newtown Action Alliance, accompanied by a sizable group of high school students associated with the Junior NAA. These students, many of whom are AP students, gave up two days out of their busy fall schedules to meet with members of Congress and advocate for background checks to help reduce gun violence in our country.
Pick Any Other Day For AdvocacyMonday, October 14, 2013
To the Editor:
I firmly believe in our Second Amendment rights. I also come from a family of gun-owners and believe that, in certain circumstances, guns can absolutely save lives. However, the recent news of multiple organizations hosting "Guns Save Lives Day" on December 14th, of all days possible, is extremely worrisome. It seems like no fluke that they would happen to choose this particular day (of the 365 they could have chosen from).

I am setting up a system that runs on Azure but needs to access an on-premises SQL Server. I've built it out as detailed in this article. This calls for me opening port 1433 to the world which looks like a serious security problem. Is there any way to open that port and still have it secure (I know that I can have complex user ids and passwords and everything, but is there a better way to secure SQL Server)
The connection between your on-premises DB and Windows Azure Connect will be secure by default via the IPSEC protocol
"Windows Azure Connect uses industry-standard end-to-end IPSEC protocol to establish secure connections between on-premise machines and roles in the cloud. Unlike a traditional Virtual Private Network (VPN), which establishes secure connectivity at gateway level, Windows Azure Connect offers more granular control by establishing secure connections at a machine and role level."
Your DB won't be publicly available, only VM's on the Azure Connect will be able to see it...
Your traditional firewall and on-premises security policies and procedures will still hide your DB in your Enterprise Environment, all you are doing is giving Windows Azure VM (Roles) the ability to see it.
I saw the comment discussion on @user728584's answer about opening port 1433. Port 1433 has nothing to do with Azure Connect, which is essentially a VPN tunnel between on-prem boxes and a collection of Windows Azure role instances. Azure Connect requires an agent to be installed on any on-prem server you're adding to the Connect Group and doesn't require an inbound port to be opened. In your case, you'd add the agent to your SQL Server box, which would then be part of the connect group and accessible directly from your Windows Azure Role instances (for the roles you add to the group). The Connect Agent then establishes the tunnel.
The Connect Agent has a special key baked in, generated for you, making it unique. But even if someone somehow obtained the installer for your specific Connect Agent, it wouldn't help at all, as you still need to add that node to the Connect Group. So, this is a secure setup.

EMF/Query FAQ
Revision as of 10:31, 25 July 2007 by Cdamus.ca.ibm.com (Talk | contribs)
Does EMF Query 1.1 work with J2SE 1.4?
Mostly, yes. The core EMF Query framework works with EMF 2.2 or higher and J2SE 1.4.
However, the OCL extensions in the org.eclipse.emf.query.ocl plug-in require OCL 1.1 and EMF 2.3. Consequently, using OCL with EMF Query requires J2SE 5.0 or greater.

In Bob Ross's defense, not saying anything about his art, he lived in Alaska for a long time and observed a lot of nature. He also enjoyed getting out into nature. He at least had a notion of what nature looked like.
In defense of both Ross and Alexander, even Rembrandt used wet on wet on occasion. Their big contribution was getting people thinking about creativity and expression. As Ross was big on saying, it's your world, make it what you want. Isn't showing OUR OWN world a big part of our photography?
I agree about folks using tricks to make their work look the same, though. It bothers me that many of the local "pro" photographers copy each other and there is no real variety or expression. It's to the point that people are selling Photoshop actions to make your photos look like they were taken by them, not you.

Cute is the WORD! And speaking of cute…. if you have been reading my blog, you know that I love me some Dancing with the Stars and specifically, Mr. Derek Hough. So talented is that young man….and since I am a dance mom who has watched hours and hours of dance over the past 10 years, I can appreciate his clever choreography and musical abilities. I think what makes watching dance so exciting is the ability that a choreographer has to take you on a journey and surprise you in the process. The subtle moves to the nuances in the music is hard to choreo, and I think that is what has contributed to his success.
My favourite choreography of all time – Derek and Nicole – the 50's Paso Doble. Love the costumes and clever movement. It all came together in this dance…
For this upcoming DWTS season Derek has been paired with the super-cute-beauty Bethany Mota, YouTUBE Star. My girls love, and I mean LOVE Bethany, and have been watching her channel For-ever! This girl is 18 years old and has over 7 MILLION Youtube subscribers! I also have sort of kept up with her videos (I thought I might learn something?!), which are super cute, and very well edited, although the content is nothing too exciting (for me anyway!). When we went shopping recently for some Back to School stuff, my younger daughter was determined to find a school lunch container that Bethany mentioned, and all three girls (my cousin's daughter too) couldn't wait to get to Aeropostale to shop Bethany's new BTS Collection. Isabella even wanted her new bedroom decorated in Bethany-Mota-style (I didn't realize this kid had a room decor product line too!). I found it sooooooo interesting how influenced my kids were by her and her channel – which makes it is sort of obvious why DWTS brought her on as a 'celebrity' for the season…..they are looking to engage a younger viewing audience.
OK so on that note, in the vain of CUTE, here are my 5 Cute Friday Finds that I know you are dying to know!
1. Rubber Maid Lunch Blox – pretty self-explanatory! However my daughter saw Bethany Mota promoting it and wanted it (this is her vid back from 2012). We went to Target and they still had it….
2. Keep Collective – Stella & Dot's sister company, Keep Collective, has just launched in the USA! Even though I am fully stocked with all kinds of jewelry, I couldn't help myself – I had to buy some pieces for myself and then to give as gifts for some of my team members. The charms slide on both the leather bracelets and dog tags and you can swap them out and mix them up for different looks. I am in LOVE! My friend and fellow dance mom Denise, is a Keep designer….feel free to contact her if you are interested in purchasing some great leather bracelets and charms.
3. Grace and Lace – Of course I have posted about Grace & Lace a number of times, but this new Lace Cardi for Fall is super cute! They have introduced 2 new colors {chosen by fans} of the now famous Flip Cardi (you can wear it backwards and forwards). The new colours are Spice and Olive (and the original Grey). Perfect tones for this fall – and loving it over a long sleeve shirt too.
4. Bethany Mota for Aeropostale – Okay, so I admit it….I am loving this Youtuber's collection! It really is very cute and there are a number of things that can be worn mom and daughter too (honestly!). Some of my favouritea include this very on-trend Cardigan, Floral Long-sleeve Romper (not too revealing) and an Owl Scarf. These are all things that both Isabella AND I would wear (no, this is not designed for the 35+ age group, but the price point is right and if you can rock it, why not?!)
5. Fluevog Unite Moon Booties – It's that time again, it's Fall shopping and back to school and time to soon break out the cool clothes! I have been needing a pair of new booties and these ones are right up my alley. and one things about fluevogs is that they are made to last forever. The Unite Moon is a boot built on a unique, U-shaped, 3.5″ heel of Fluevogian past with uppers designed from a new, innovative combination of Italian and Portuguese leathers. These two elements of design merge into a timeless, elegant boot that will turn the tides on any outfit for the better!
So many cute Friday Finds….I am loving my Keep pieces layered with my SD looks too!
And I am stoked to watch DWTS with my girls coming up this Monday September 16th! Who knows if this Bethany Mota girl can really even dance. I was actually cracking up as I started writing and watched one go Bethany's newest Youtube videos (see below) this morning and took a screen shot her cutie dress with Doc Martin boots – I was wearing the same outfit in NYC, circa 1994! Haha!
And Derek, *sigh*. I read an interview with him recently where he mentioned that he sees colours when he first hears music – which is Synesthesia! – and I have it too (Blogged about it HERE!)….maybe we are kindred spirits?! #Im15yearsolderbutIcandream
Happy Friday friends!

Understanding Tech clusters and tracking the UK Tech sector's outlook for employment and growth
A joint report released by KPMG and Markit shows for the first time the impact of the UK technology sector on macroeconomic performance.
We are seeing an increasing use of consumer technology in our daily lives – slowly the UK tech sector is beginning to get the profile and attention it needs. It is against this backdrop of growing recognition that we have commissioned this report, the first of what we see as an ongoing series.
Tech Monitor UK features for the first time the Tech Sector Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI), a new method for tracking job creation and economic growth at UK technology companies. The report provides an in-depth geographical snapshot of the UK tech sector employment patterns for the first time
The first instalment reveals a number of key findings; perhaps unsurprisingly, the ten local authorities with the highest amount of tech workers are all in South East England. They are all close to either the M4, M3 or M25 motorways.
Importantly, the report finds that the tech sector has generated jobs over the last four years and has consistently outpaced other UK private sectors in creating jobs since the global financial crisis.

"Hidden treasure!"
Our innkeeper,Bob made the best scrambled eggs my son ever had! He catered to my dietary needs as well. Breakfast was like a fun surprise every morning. Each day was better than the day before! We also enjoyed Bob's knowledge of the area and found the hidden away restaurants because of him. The double room on the second floor worked well for our needs and privacy. The inn is only 1 block to town but we found a bike shop, again out of town, because of Bob's help. He treats you like family and you have use of most of the house. This place is a hidden treasure! Air conditioning was available but the nights were so pleasant we didn't need it most of the time. I would definitely go back and recommend the inn to others who like bed and breakfast places.

I've always stayed in 'brand name' hotels, this was remarkably refreshing - it was everything you would expect from a bed and breakfast.

"Too expensive for the room."
The location was perfect and breakfast was great. I just felt it was over priced for the condition of the house.

"Fantastic Little Inn"
I loved Bob! He is an older gentleman that has a wealth of knowledge about the area. He loves to chat over breakfast and actually cares about his guests. He sees them more like family members that are visiting than a customer. He wants to make sure you enjoy your stay, and WE DID! The location was perfect, the B&B was very clean and comfortable, and you can't beat having someone like Bob to talk to. I highly recommend this place.

"Simple B&B - Convenient location"
Nice clean B&B but not worth the price. We have stayed at Inns in Kennebunk before and got a lot more for less money. If looking for a simple B&B that is close to town, this could be the place but shop around. Room was a nice size, simple and clean. Bathroom was a little tired and needs updating but the breakfast was very good. We were looking for a place to stay on very short notice and this worked out fine.

"Older Inn with Local Flavor"
Went up for the night to Kennebunk/Kennebunkport with my girlfriend to visit family and friends. You absolutely cannot beat the location right off Ocean Ave. It is a quaint place with only a few rooms. Bob the inn keeper couldn't have been nicer. Three course breakfast with a fruit cup to start, pancakes, and then bacon and eggs cooked however you'd like. The Seavey Suite where we stayed had two beds in adjoining rooms, so if you are traveling with children, it is a great spot (no door in between however). Everything that you would expect from a Bed and Breakfast.

"great location, bare bones accommodations"
Very pleasant innkeeper. Nice old house- 1840s. Perfect location. Right in town. Stayed in the Knowles Jr. Suite. Was very unimpressed with the layout--despite having the top floor to ourselves, the bedroom and bathroom were on separate sides of an exposed staircase. Only the bedroom locked. Had to get fully dressed to cross the hall to use the bathroom. Bathroom had been renovated in the 1970s or '80s and needs updating. Room was not especially clean--saw dust bunnies under furniture and in corners. Felt sand in bed. Breakfast was unimpressive--very strict menu (bacon appeared on our plates without being asked if we eat it along with 1 slice of heavily buttered white toast and 2 eggs cooked in lots of butter), little variation in the 2 days we were there (fruit cup, pancakes(day 1) french toast(day 2), eggs/ bacon/ slice of toast, and low quality (pancakes tasted like they came from a box mix, artificial syrup). The other couple who stayed in the house were chastised for coming late to breakfast. Also, not sure if this is "normal", but housekeeping was an additional charge and needed to be requested. The experience made the B&B feel a little too much like a hostel.

"Charming, if a bit expensive"
The house was quite charming, and our room was comfortable. The B&B lacks many of the conveniences of a regular hotel, but in all it was a nice experience.

"Solid B&B, Great Location!"
My wife and I came to Kennebunkport for a quick jaunt up from the city. This place has a great old house vibe to it and is very comfortable. Breakfast in the morning was friendly, and we got good advice from the proprietors as far as places to eat and things to do. Very low key, comfortable, and literally across the street from the shops and restaurants in the heart of the town. Can't beat the location!

"Warm hospitality, great location"
Loved our stay in Kennebunkport's oldest bed and breakfast - a true find. Our kind, well-organized, and friendly host had everything ready when we checked in. A good sized suite provided us with ample space. The bed was comfortable and the accommodations were clean. The proximity to downtown, the amazing full breakfast served on china, and the lovely antique-filled house were the cherries on our sundae of a long weekend spent at the end of the summer in Maine. We will definitely be back!

"Not clean"
The room was not cleaned when we arrived. There was thick carpet of dust below the bureau and bed. In addition, they did not clean the room or make the bed daily. This was not priced as a youth hostel. They had the nerve to leave a note if you want the room cleaned daily, they would do so for an additional fee- with a tip envelope. For what? I have stayed all over the world and never encountered this. The waste bin was not taken out every day. In the heat of the summer I found this super gross. The sheets were pilled cheap poly. I knew that the space would be dated based on previous reviews- however, I expected the space to be cleaned. The breakfast was not good. The fruit was not fresh. Not real maple syrup.
Genuine Expedia guest review
This is AN AMAZING location, so close to the very center of this lovely town. Bob (owner) is the most INCREDABLE host. My boyfriend and I went to Main to pick up our daughter from sleep away camp and got very lucky finding this B&B. Our experience could not have been better, with the incredable location and the history of this B&B since it is the oldest in town. Everything is so cozy and clean. Bob made us feel like part of his family and he makes THE BEST BREAKFAST. The neighboors from across and next to this B&B were also very warm and sweet to us. We felt in love with EVERYTHING and we are definitely going back to visit Bob. HIGHLY RECOMMENDE IT TO EVERYONE, you will not feel like another customer, you will feel like you are part of his family.

"Very nice place"
This is a classic bed and breakfast in Kennebunkport with three total guest rooms. It has been in the same family for many decades. The room was clean and comfortable and the location is right in the heart of town. Bob the owner lives in the house and cooks up a great bacon and egg breakfast every morning and was really helpful in finding restaurants and other local activities. There is parking, wifi and cable tv too. Cool place, I'd definitely go back.

"Most charming place"
10/08/15 Michael U
Rooms are old, but spacious and nicely furnished. There is not really much to do at night, but there are a couple of nice bars and restaurants in walking distance. The highlight of Chetwynd House is the breakfast (all guests sit at one table), with special eggs prepared by the owner himself!
"Loved It!"
07/29/15 adragonne Mexico City, Mexico
I found this charming B&B through TripAdvisor and had a very pleasant experience. there are some negatives but it is a place worthy of a stay. The house is very old and interesting. The owner was there waiting for my arrival. I booked the Seavey Suite which I think is the largest room on the premise but all Kennebunkport was pretty much booked. The room had 2 rooms and a private bath. It was very well appointed in tune with the ambiance at the B&B, clean and bed was comfortable (I only slept on one bed). There is no housekeeping unless you ask (and pay) for it, however, there were enough clean towels and even a hair dryer, I advise you bring soap and shampoo. Breakfast is strictly at 9AM. It is basic but I found it was more a social event than a gourmet meal. It was nice to get to know the other guests and chat a little. Location is unbeatable, other friends staying at very fancy hotels, had a rough time moving around without a car while I was very much at a walking distance to key places. Wi Fi is included and you're pretty much by yourself as there are no employees and the owner leaves after breakfast. On the negative side, it was too expensive. I understand it was one of the few rooms available that weekend but compared to the luxury hotels I visited during my stay, it was a pretty steep tab. I also found myself being bitten by god-knows-what, during nights, although I slept very well. A very quiet street. I would go back there if the price is right compared to the very nice hotels around Kennebunkport. Loved the experience!
"good location, pleasant innkeeper, bare bones"
05/28/14 _Hayley_600 New York, New York, United States
Host was very pleasant and hospitable. Unbeatable location. Cute, old house. The room had a very awkward set-up, with the bedroom and bathroom on either side of a stair case that is open to the house. Knowles, Jr. "suite" not good for tall people--my 6'1 husband kept bumping his head. Very bare bones, and lack of attention to detail, i.e. no bed skirt, so box spring was exposed. Dirty chairs were covered with fabric swatches. Daily housekeeping was optional and cost an additional fee. Breakfast was mediocre, no choices, you get what you get and you feel compelled to eat it because you are being watched. Everything was cooked in butter/ grease. Maybe this is just because it's Maine, but there were many bugs, mostly spiders, inside the bedroom and bathroom. Would not return despite the great location.

We stayed one night- it was clean, comfortable, and in a great location. Breakfast was great, and the owner is really sweet. Not exactly glamorous, but a pretty house with so older charm. I would stay here again.
"Quintessential New England B&B"
06/09/13 SteveABQ Albuquerque, New Mexico
My wife and I recently spent three nights at Chetwynd House and had a delightful stay. This place was the first B&B in Kennebunkport (opened in the 1970's) and has had the same owner-family all that time. We have stayed here in past years, but it has been 12 years since the last time. It continues to be a quintessential New England B&B experience! Kennebunkport is a great little town to visit and staying at this B&B reminded us of staying at our favorite aunt's house, but with our own private bathroom! The house was originally built in the 1840's and it has been very well restored and maintained. The house is decorated with antiques and old style furnishings to give you a homey feeling, yet the bathrooms are convenient with modern fixtures and good water pressure. Breakfast is a highlight of the stay—it is always cooked hot and fresh, varies from day to day, and is served on china in the dining room at a common table to allow for wonderful conversation among the guests. The house is only steps away from the center of town with its shopping and restaurants (and my wife would also mention it is next door to Carla's, her favorite women's dress shop). It has parking on the property so you don't have to find a parking spot in town during the busy summer. The B&B was originally opened by Susan, a retired school teacher, and is now run by her son, Bob, a retired military man and hospitality executive. Bob has continued to make this one of our all time favorite B&Bs.
"very good location"
08/25/12 TrevorBNE Brisbane
We tayed or a full week. Location was perect to enable a nice walk to several resturants. Room was clean and tidy, but simple. Probably nothing seriously changes since the late 70's Breakfast had a slight variation each day (you could have your eaggs done a different way). Bob is nice and runs the place with millitary percision.
"Excellent Host"
11/04/11 Maihoon Laurel, Maryland
A friend and I wanted to visit Maine for a girls getaway. We stumbled across this quaint Bed and Breakfast. It was very cozy and the breakfast was awesome, pancakes the first morning and French toast the next with eggs, bacon and fruit. The host, Bob, was cute as ever and very sweet. The rooms and bathroom were decent and clean. The location is perfect, Kennebunkport is an awesome location. It was just enough for what we needed, a nice break from "city" life.
"Perfect Location to Stroll to Everything!"
08/29/11 Catherine W Burlington, Vermont
We booked the Chetwynd House for a last minute, mid-week get away to Kennebunkport and we were very happy with our stay. Bob Knowles, the proprietor, greeted us when we arrived, he was very organized and check-in was a breeze. We stayed in the Knowles room which occupies the entire 3rd floor of the inn. It included a large bed, lots of room, a fridge, AC and a private bathroom. We only turned the AC on once during our stay, the rest of the time having the windows open and letting the breeze blow through was perfect, even during a hot week in August. As an older home, there were a few squeaks and creeks, but nothing that disrupted our stay. The location was amazing, especially for the cost of the room. We pulled the car in when we arrived and didn't even think about getting into it again until we left town. The Inn is on a side street right in the heart of Kennebunkport so it's quiet, yet in less than 5 minutes you're at all of the restaurants and shops. There were some beaches not too far, probably about a mile away. We also went on some nice jogs along the coast and through stunning neighborhoods. Jogging down to Walker Point (the Bush Compound) was my favorite and took about 30 minutes round trip. Bob was very knowledgeable, filling us in on his favorite places for Lobster prepared lots of different ways. He was a wonderful host, great at being available when we had questions and knowing when to give the guests privacy. I would definitely recommend the Chetwynd House to others looking to be right in town on their stay in Kennebunkport.
"What a great experience! We'll be back soon!"
07/06/11 mplum Boston, Massachusetts
If you want a cookie cutter experience, this is not the place for you. Chetwynd House is a unique experience. The rooms are laden with antiques, and the location is convenient to shops and the river. Did I mention that there is parking? Definitely a rarity in this town. Not the most modern, but a great deal with an even better breakfast!
"would not return to the property - room & bath were not very clean."
10/11/09 imendele Boston
3rd. floor room is billed as having a "private bathroom". In reality you a have to cross the hallway to reach the bathroom, in full view of the guests occupying the 2nd. floor. Neither bedroom nor the bathroom were very clean. The pillows smelled musty and there was dirt visible under the bed. Well prepared breakfast is served at 9:00am, but no coffee is available until then. Guests are directed to one of the downtown coffee shops and a request to have the coffee earlier was declined. The location is very convenient to nearby shops and restaurants. Innkeeper (Bob) is very friendly and did provide recommendations to nearby attractions.

Rated 3.4 out of 5 by 8 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Texas12 Wonderful color The length of this long cardigan is perfect and so is the berry color. It can be dressed up or worn with jeans and it is not too heavy. I have not washed it yet and hope it will not shrink. I am glad it went on sale. November 9, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by Starrynight Caution I thought this would be a great buy because I was limiting what I was taking overseas, it did fold up nicely in suitcase and would complement eveRything I was taking BUT I wore it one time and the material pulled too quickly. I won't be able to wear it again. Very disappointing November 4, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Cintia Compliments Galore! What a beautiful sweater that received many compliments from my co-workers. I love the bell sleeves. I think the sizing runs a bit (not too much) small. I should have ordered the next size up. September 17, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by Buyer2306 Picture is way different from the product THe sweater had 3/4 length sleeves and was much shorter than the picture showed it. I returned it. September 6, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Smood Lovely sweater for warm weather But if you are "hippy" like me, maybe get a size larger than you normally would, to avoid the ribs stretching oddly. But the aquarelle colors are great - go with blues of several shades, spring green, yellow... Packs nicely and travels well. April 14, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by charliemom sleeve color doesn't match Nice weight, fit, color. Too bad the sleeves don't match each other. Sending back for refund. September 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by ferrybelle Useful addition with limitations I am constantly travelling so putting together clothes that keep up my moral and yet are light, versatile,easy to care for and come out of the suitcase looking fresh is essential. Travelsmith has been my resource and for the most part I have had success with my purchases. Rolled this top up at the last minute and shoved it into my day bag. It came out looking great. Like the other reviewer said it looked wonderful over a black top and pants and I also had success with a white top and black pants when I added a coordinating scarf. It added a finished look. It was compfortable and airy in a hot climate. It is an open concept as displayed on the model on the website. The tapered ribs are flattering. It did not look good with my other tops. Because of its limitations I find it pricey. I did not experience any pulls or snags when I wore it. I have not laundered it as yet. With that said I am happy with the purchase. September 10, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by pak37 Lighter than I thought This sweater fits well and is true to size, but in many ways it was much lighter than I thought: Lighter in color and lighter in weight. It's actually a very light grey over all; very little to no black (FYI), and while it may provide some warmth, it would provide very little comfort in a cold airplane (for example). It also seems so loosely knit that it could easily be snagged (though I have not worn it on a trip so I can't say that for sure). It looks smart with black shell and pants. Not easily matched with much else, at least not in my closet. September 1, 2014

The New York Times explores life in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, where drugs and homelessness are pervasive. The area is just a short walk from the site of the Games' opening ceremonies and has been a challenge for local officials as they prepare to host the international event.
"By bidding for the Olympics, Vancouver invited the world to visit. Now city officials are trying to redirect the international news media spotlight from this blighted neighborhood in the shadows of the picturesque North Shore Mountains."

Right after I made Floral Friday a thing, I realised it probably would have been more accurate to have called it, 'Tan Boots with Black Tights and a Floral Dress on a Friday'.
Ah well. Maybe I'll throw in some floral pants one week and totally surprise you all!
'Beekeeper' dress by my lovely friend Bec Williams of Naughty Shorts. I added the lace because, umm, gigantor...;)

EDIT: I don't know how to get the video thing to work... so click on the picture and it will take you to the video.
This was taken probably two years ago, but I just found it and I thought I'd get some input on it. Not really the best video to critique, so take what you can from it.
This is me and Ducky, a welsh cob gelding. He is super cute and was a super hard ride. His trot is ridiculously bouncy for such a little guy, but it had no rhythm. He was supposed to be a teach-to-canter pony, but most riders could never get him to transition, much less smoothly. His canter was flat, flat, flat. It dragged, and that last leg could never keep up. I wish I could have jumped him, but they said I could only do the trot poles since I was "schooling" not in a lesson. I think we look pretty good...
The goofy bump in the next video was supposed to be a flying lead change. He loves them, but the goofy boy changed twice and ended up on the same lead, lol.
This was back in the day when I REALLY perched. Thanks in advance!
