This whole YouTube thing has taken up so much of my time that blogging hasn't been on my radar. That doesn't mean I don't have a plethora of photos and outfit documentation to share. As I was editing this, I actually realized that this was taken a year ago. Last year. This boggles me especially because, 1. whoa that went by really fast 2. I still wear the same things. Both are semi-alarming. The past couple years I've stopped caring about wearing these cool elaborate outfits and have settled into easy, expensive-ass pieces that ain't no one-trick pony.

This isn't news but I'm going to pretend like it is. It's my second LA apartment. The one-bedroom (originally sold to me as a 2 bedroom, but it ain't) that will be my resident until I can afford to buy a home. It's that good. Located in the lovely Larchmont neighborhood, I couldn't ask for more from Los Angeles. There's lots of natural light and greenery. It's just really, really good vibes. And after 2 years, I feel like I've finally made it mine.
Furniture details after the photos...
I have 3 closets in my apartment, and no way to organize it. Still working on it. Also, my bed. That Malm. I didn't put it together right the first time so the bed squeaked every time you turned, and after a point, I took the bed apart. Now I feel like I sleep in a litter box.
West Elm night stands. Vintage lamps. P.F. Candle Co. West Elm furry pillows. Vintage jewelry cases
Pretty basic. Has a good that goes to a side yard.
I don't know how my beauty products look pink and purple in the medicine cabinet, but I'm not mad at it.
I spend all my time here. The light literally spills in from morning till sunset.

Sometime in December, I shot with Nylon Japan for a little photo in their LA style section. I have yet to nab my own issue, but for now, I'll screenshot your Snapchats. Wearing my most favorite jeans I've had since college. And some Adidas sweater.
Thank you to Billy at the 501 Huntington Beach store for convincing me to buy these. I think about that gem of a store every day and wish it was still open.

Enjoying the last bit of sunshine and random 90 weather outburst before heading to NYFW. I HATE NYFW IN THE WINTER, BUT I'M DOING IT BECAUSE MY BEST FRIENDS AND I GOT A PENTHOUSE IN TIME SQUARE. I'm not being paid (nor was I asked) to blog about this, but I wrote about my last trip to February NYFW on Simon.com. It's pretty amusing and took me half a day to write. You need to read it so I feel better about spending the time to write it since all they wanted was a wish list of things I like. My story is better.
Paying homage to my daily outfit. I guess I'm excited to experiment with kooky outfits outside of my Levi's + sneakers + blank top uniform.

The past couple years, I've thrown out lots of iffy, chemically products for more natural ones. Ones that I can understand where the ingredients come from. Better if it's just one ingredient. I definitely feel a shift in the industry making is way easier to discover natural products that leaves you feeling less guilty about what you're putting on your skin. My regimen isn't completely holistic, but here are things I've swapped out for the better!
I also got to sit with Amy Pham from The Platform to talk more about it. But I had to take it to my blog because I can never articulate anything properly in front of a crew of people. Blaming it on stage fright and getting the giggles. So here it is broken down from left to right.
First of my many favorites from this line. Talk about feeling completely guiltless using products. This brand uses no synthetics at all!!! So amazing and the quality feels exactly what is advertised: pure.
Dr. Bronner's Castile soap
The jack of all trades for your home. There's a list of 18 uses for it that extends into kitchen usage! I have yet to experiment with it as toothpaste... probably pass on that. But it's great for cleaning your tiles and your body!
Shea Moisture shampoo
Actually forgot to bring this on set, but I love this shampoo! It's not clarifying, but I like it because it doesn't strip your hair of moisture making just-shampooed hair look like Day 2 hair. That's what we all want right? I also have to mention that my hair is naturally very coarse and wavy - this helps with the frizziness and actually relaxes a lot of my curls.
Tea Tree Oil
Another household staple. Tea tree oil kills bacteria. Best used on acne or infections. I've found many uses for this. One of which is TMI; another is to help heal my cartilage piercing.
W3ll People loose powder
Let's get into makeup, shall we? This is another great brand, and W3ll developed most of their product around the power of aloe. I want makeup that works double-times and there are a lot of goodie ingredients that are actually good for the skin. Guilt free x2.
RMS living luminizer
I've raved, blogged, vlogged, lusted, recommended this all year. Because of RMS, I started looking more into natural makeup. Something about how synthetic-free, raw, unprocessed, unrefined makeup sits on the skin makes me never want to look back. I use this highlighter in the corner of my eyes, cheekbones, nose bridge, anywhere that I feel lacks life. It brings out the most natural dew, and it doesn't look like makeup. It's insane.
100 Percent Pure Lipstick (in Poppy)
Another 'ahah!' moment when I tried 100 Percent Pure's make up line. Well, I've only used their lipstick but am excited to explore more. It was the same moment of like, "oh, this is how makeup is supposed to sit on your face". The swatches are gorgeous and all fruit dyed.
Alba Botanics deodorant
I could probably find a more natural deodorant on the market (recommendations??!). I've seen people rub lemons in their pits as deodorant but I'm not quite on that level yet. Till then, I'm going to continue using this as it's been doing the job. Tried the salt stick, didn't like it. It's pretty important to get a natural deodorant as the nature of the product is to sit on your skin ALL day and work along side your pores.
Honest hand sanitizer spray
Kudos to Jessica Alba for this company. It's great and I do trust everything that comes from their doors. Albeit just a little thing from their line, I've grown fond of this hand sanitizing spray - even if my boyfriend hates the smell of it and won't let me spray within a closed proximity of him.
Witch hazel
I've been using witch hazel for a while now as a toner. It helps with inflammation and broken skin (aka when I break out). It's also a good skin setter thing after cleansing before putting on moisturizer.
100 Percent Pure hand balm
This sits in my car next to my hand sanitizing spray. It's good. People like it and ask to borrow it a lot.
Rose hip oil
I read an interview which Miranda Kerr personally stated that she used this during the pregnancy to prevent stretch marks. One, I will pick up any skin care tips Kerr recommends. Two, I learned this is a great oil with tons of fatty acids that helps with scarring and stretch marks. Sold.
Karma Natural nail polish remover
Once on set, someone gave me natural, organic nail polish remover wipes and then I wondered why I didn't have this all my life. No more acetone that dries your skin and emits fumes and chemicals. This remover in particular works damn well and leaves your nails feeling really healthy. Every time I use it, I am convinced my nails look better naked.
January 7, 2016
It's been a while since I spontaneously took photos and threw them on this blog right away. New year goal? Start posting right away? The best part of having creative friends is 1. they're all open-minded 2. their front doors are also always open 3. they're down to make pretty things at a drop of a hat. Last night, I literally walked into the front door of my friend Valerie's apartment and felt inspired right then and there to take photos even though I've been to her home countless of times. Well, I was inspired. By Debbie's new Acne necklace. A brass throwback to my early tweens.

HAPPY NEW YEAR. Music played the biggest role in my 2015 developments. Many nights of dancing, crying, drinking, laughing, driving. Many more mornings of dancing, crying, drinking, laughing, driving. The past year has been a lot of exploring and foundation laying - in all aspects of my life - creativeness, possessions, friends, love, family, myself. I loved last year but am so ready to start a new one. Till then I will archive my nostalgia through the playlist you see below paired with photos of me in the canyons.
Shot by Alex Kim Kenealy.
Also, if this playlist doesn't satiate your ears, a lovely viewer made a playlist of all the songs I used for Vlogmas. Don't know what Vlogmas is? Where have you been?! Watch the last 31 days of my 2015 here.

Apple approves official Google Voice application for iPhoneThe official Google Voice application was finally accepted into the App Store by Apple on Tuesday, bringing to the iPhone an application that was previously rejected and resulted in an inquiry from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission.
The Google Voice App is a free download available in the App Store, and works for any users of the Google Voice telephony service. Features of the application advertised by Google include:
- Cheap rates for international calls
- Free text messaging to U.S. numbers
- Voicemail transcription
- Display your Google Voice number as caller ID when making calls
The software also offers a number of features that can only be accomplished with a native iPhone application. Previously, Google had offered a mobile Voice service through a website.
The native app will alert users when they receive a new voicemail or text message with push notifications. In addition, most calls will be placed via Direct Access Numbers, making them connect just as quickly as regular phone calls.
Google Voice for iPhone requires iOS 3.1 or later and a valid Google Voice account to use the App. It is currently available in the U.S. only.
Reports that Apple would change its stance on the Google Voice application first surfaced in September, after Apple revised and published its own App Store Review Guidelines. Applications that accessed the Google Voice service were pulled in 2009, after Google submitted its own official application.
Apple refused to accept the official Google Voice app into the App Store, which prompted an investigation from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission. Apple told the FCC that it was reviewing the software, but contended it did not outright reject it.

Former BYU tight end Dennis Pitta activated by Ravens, cleared to play Sunday
Patrick Semansky, ASSOCIATED PRESS
Just a little more than four months after fracturing and dislocating his hip during practice, former BYU tight end Dennis Pitta will be back in game action Sunday.
The Baltimore Ravens announced Saturday that they had activated Pitta from the injured-reserve designated to return list, clearing the way for him to play in the Ravens' game against Minnesota.
According to the Baltimore Sun, Pitta participated in practice all week, which included catching a diving touchdown pass while landing on his surgically repaired right hip.
While Pitta is cleared to play, it's expected he will have a limited role against the Vikings as he continues to get used to game speed following the surgery.
"Ultimately, it's up to me and how I feel," Pitta told the Sun Friday. "It's a rare injury in sports, so the doctors are relying on me to see how I feel and how my body responds and all that."
Pitta, who had 61 catches for 669 yards and seven touchdowns last season, could provide an offensive spark for the Ravens (6-6) need as they fight to defend their Super Bowl title. Baltimore is currently in the thick of the AFC Wild Card race.
Baltimore has had a minimal impact from the tight end position in 2013. Veteran Dallas Clark and Ed Dickson have combined for 47 receptions for 554 yards and three scores.
Pitta was second on the team in receptions last season.
Minnesota coach Leslie Frazier is aware of the impact Pitta can have on a game.
"He's one of those move tight ends who can be a matchup nightmare for a defense trying to cover him with a linebacker or even some safeties," the coach said in a conference call this week. "He's a very good route runner, and he's got good hands as well. It seems like Joe (Flacco) really likes to get the football to him, so he presents some problems."

About this design:
I love all the differec Christmans wreaths that come out for the season. So, I thought I would try to make my own using a large number of green beads and leaves. I also added some lights to give it the finishing touch.
Components:This piece is composed mostly of lucite flowers and beads, with the added touch of sparkle with Swarovski crystal and Czech glass. I also used silver plated findings and a lobster clasp.
Read the comments (or add your own)
Oh! I ADORE this. So light and beautiful–feels magical.
This is fabulous!
Yes, I see Christmas wreaths. But I also can see this piece in spring time with a crisp white blouse and a red skirt and strapy sandels.
Very cool!! I love the feel–like you are wrapped in delicate leaves!! I would wear it all year!
Ever so very pretty – - love the movement in the necklace !
This is so pretty! It me it looks retro! Nice job!!
Beautiful, I agree with Maria, it definitely has a retro look

The Miami Heat managed to win their 12th game in a row despite not having one of their key role players. Shane Battier sat out the game while nursing a hamstring issue. He is listed as day-to-day and will be evaluated throughout the weeks.
According to an Associated Press report, this is the second time Battier is dealing with hamstring tightness. He missed games in January for a similar issue. Battier also missed time earlier in the year because of knee swelling.
Despite not having Battier on the court, the Heat managed to take care of the Sacramento Kings 141-129 in overtime. The win moves the Heat to 41-14 on the season. They have a six game lead on the second-place team in the Eastern Conference, the Indiana Pacers. Only the San Antonio Spurs have a better record than the Heat.
Battier is a 13-year NBA veteran. In his career, he has averaged 9.0 points and 4.4 rebound per game. So far this season, he is averaging 6.4 points and 2.2 rebounds per game.

Comments about 'Why the Wii U could make a major comeback in 2014'

While I'm not a fan of Nintendo's focus on gimmicks and shovelware,
and as much as I strongly dislike most of their first party properties, I do
have a small measure of sympathy and support. The Playstation and XBox were
fun, but they're a little more limiting in scope, especially with the
ever-increasing focus on online play, accounts, and anti-piracy paranoia.
I can't say I'll ever be much for typical "family" staples like Mario Party, Mario Kart, or anything involving Miis, but despite being a hardcore pro-Sony anti-Nintendo guy since the original Playstation, I find myself now with a 3DS and no Vita. As I get married and ready to settle down, I admit that a Wii U seems a lot more likely than its competitors on my chest of drawers. What I wouldn't do for the likes of Pokémon Stadium again...

We got a WiiU just before Christmas. Me and my 3 daughters love it. The
platforming games like the New Super Mario Brothers and Rayman are awesome
single and multiplayer fun. When the kids go to sleep I can play Assassins
Creed on the game pad while my wife watches the Bachelor. We recently got Sonic
All Star racing and can't wait for Mario Kart 8. Plus it still plays our
old Wii games.
The graphics on it are quite good, and coming from the Wii its pretty shocking how big of a difference high def makes. My friend with a 360 was pretty impressed at the level of detail in some of the games which he alraeady owns such as Call of Duty Ghosts.

We got a wii u. We love it. My 6 year old is used to touch screens from phones and tablets, so using it on the wii u is really natural to her. Plus I can play grown up games like assassins creed and call of duty when the kids are asleep, and on the game pad while my wife is watch figure skating.

Here's the question you clicked on:
Find x.
Try by rationalization process...
Multiply and divide both the sides by: \[\sqrt{x+4}-\sqrt{x -3}\]
You mean multiply by \[(\sqrt{x+4} - \sqrt{x-3})/(\sqrt{x+4} - \sqrt{x-3})\]
check @georgeblue22 once.. its very simple
i mean check @georgeblue22 reply once
No no don't do this...
I don't understand @georgeblue22's reply.
just do what @georgeblue22 said.. I was thinking it as an expression but it is an equation.. I forgot to see there 1 on right hand side...
\[\Huge{\color{gold}{\star \star}{\color{orange}{\text{Rationlise}}}}\]
best hint
Oh yes, he brought the denominator to the other side.
yes @pratu043
See, multiply both the sides by : \(\sqrt{x+4}+\sqrt{x -3}\)..
That will help to get of the square root on the left side.
Understood @pratu043 ??? :)
You will left with only one square root term.... after solving..
Left side will be: |dw:1342256668499:dw|
No you are doing wrong..
What's the mistake?
Did you try squaring on both the sides ?
See show me what you get after multiply the term I said above... Do it slowly...
Which term?
So 7 = sqrt(x + 4) + sqrt(x - 3).
\[\frac{(\sqrt{x+4} - \sqrt{x-3})}{(\sqrt{x+4} + \sqrt{x-3})} \times (\sqrt{x+4} + \sqrt{x-3}) = 1 \times (\sqrt{x+4} + \sqrt{x-3})\] Now solve this..
You will be left with: \[\sqrt{x+4}- \sqrt{x-3} = \sqrt{x+4} + \sqrt{x-3}\] Now look it properly what is the term that is getting cancelling on both the sides???
sqrt(x + 4).
Yes then cancel it and tell me what you are left with now..
Can you bring them on one side now??
Yes add them...
Yes... Have faith you are in a right direction.. Now squaring both the sides what will you get??
sqaure both sides @pratu043
And then put the brackets = 0 and find x from here..
Yes.. You are right...
yes @pratu043 u got it ;) deserve a medal ;)
yw ;)
See @pratu043 if we are given with: \[\large (x-1)(y-2) = 0\] then you can do directly this: \[(x - 1) =0 \quad and \quad (y - 2) = 0\] Getting???
So at the end we are left with: \[4(x-3) = 0\] As \(4 \ne 0\) So, You can put directly: \[(x-3) = 0\] \[x = 3\]
Oh I see .... I never knew that.
But this is possible in case we have 0 in right hand side.. Be careful...

Southeast Missouri State University student sentenced for assault
A judge ruled Monday that a Southeast Missouri State University student connected to a December 2009 beating will not serve time in jail.
Circuit Court Judge Benjamin F. Lewis ordered Antonio Garritano, 20, who pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault charges Feb. 28, complete two years of supervised probation. With his ruling, Lewis suspended the imposition of a prison sentence.
Garritano, originally charged with felony burglary, admitted going with four other students Dec. 13, 2009, to a home on Dunklin Street, where Blake Carlton, a fellow student, was assaulted. Prosecutors reduced the charge in exchange for Garritano's guilty plea.
In addition to recommending probation, Cape Girardeau County assistant prosecuting attorney Angel Woodruff requested Garritano pay restitution -- any medical expenses not covered by insurance. She couldn't give Lewis an amount.
Garritano's attorney, Stephen Wilson, said the remaining medical bills total $115 and that the victim has told his client he didn't want Garritano to pay the restitution.
Lewis also ordered Garritano to complete an aggravated offender program and 40 hours of community service. Completion of the programs and the community service could possibly trigger an early release from probation, Lewis said.
He said Garritano's actions weren't uncommon, considering his situation -- an unsupervised college student seeking to "settle a score" with other students.
"The essence of your mistake is participating and going along with these other guys," Lewis said. "If you make that kind of mistake again, you're going to pay the consequences."
After the December incident, Garritano served 60 days in the Cape Girardeau County Jail on a probation violation. His original conviction was for distributing prescription medication.

Harley-Davidson, Associated Press
DETROIT — Ignition switch problems that have plagued General Motors and Chrysler have now turned up in the motorcycle business.
Harley-Davidson is recalling more than 3,300 FXDL Dyna Low Rider bikes because engine vibration can turn the switches from "on" to "accessory."
The recall covers motorcycles from the 2014 ½ model year. If the motorcycles have been modified to rev higher than 5,600 RPMs, an engine mount bracket can vibrate excessively, causing the problem.
If the switch goes to "accessory," the engine can shut off while being driven and potentially cause a crash. The company said there have been no crashes or injuries reported from the problem.
Dealers will replace the bracket assembly and ignition switch knob for free. Harley began notifying owners in late July.
Harley said in documents posted Friday by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that the motorcycles are limited at the factory to 5,600 RPMs, but Harley offers performance calibrations that let the engine rev higher than the limit. If the bikes hit 5,800 RPMs, the top engine mount bracket can vibrate too much and cause the ignition switches to malfunction.
The company said it began looking into the problem after its service department discovered that an ignition switch slipped out of the "on" position in testing. The company found four warranty claims and complaints about the problem, all in bikes with non-Harley exhaust systems.
The Milwaukee company's recall comes after General Motors recalled 17.3 million vehicles to fix problems with ignition switches that can cause engine stalling. Chrysler has recalled another 1.7 million for the same problem. So far this year the auto industry has recalled more than 40 million vehicles, passing the old full-year record of 30.8 million set in 2004.
Federal safety regulators in June began a broad investigation of ignition-switch and air-bag problems across the auto industry. That investigation is still open, although the agency wouldn't say if more automakers could be affected.
The investigation and recalls come after GM bungled an ignition-switch recall of older small cars. GM acknowledged that it knew of the ignition problem for more than a decade but failed to recall the cars until earlier this year, when it recalled 2.6 million small cars such as the Chevrolet Cobalt. Subsequent safety reviews caused GM to recall millions more vehicles for faulty switches.

By Angela Poffenberger Did you know a person is considered legally blind when the best corrected visual acuity is 20/200 or the visual field is 20 degrees or less, meaning that he or she can only see the "E" on the eye chart? Seventy percent of people who are blind lack employment, but the National Industries for the Blind (NIB) has a vision to change that statistic. Look at the pad of paper you're using to take notes. Look at the pen you're using. Do they say SKILCRAFT? If so, then they were manufactured by NIB. Employees who are blind have manufactured or assembled those supplies for decades—and that's not […]

Announcing Maker Party Newcastle 2014
I'm delighted to announce that we've confirmed the date for this year's Maker Party Newcastle! Building on the success of previous ones held at the Centre for Life, this year we'll be at Campus North, home of the Ignite100 startup accelerator on Saturday 13th September. Many thanks to Lyndsey Britton and Lauren Summers for their help in making this happen.
Sign up here: http://bit.ly/makerpartyncl14
Maker Parties are for everyone, but given Ignite100's links with Code Club, we've decided to make it relevant to the new English primary school computing curriculum. Children of all ages will be welcome, but if you're a teacher – or aged between 7 and 11 – it will be particularly relevant!
We're looking for mentors to help out with this event. The most important qualities are enthusiasm and a willingness to be a co-learner. Some rudimentary HTML and CSS skills would be a bonus. Extra points for JavaScript!
If you're based in the North East of England, please do share this widely with your networks. 🙂

The fabric of a life
is woven from the mundane,
shot through with strands of joy
and streaks of pain.
On a familiar day,
if you just keep looking,
you may watch the ordinary
weave itself into a strand of bliss.
When I was a child there were ponies.
waiting in line or trotting out on the sand.
I knew all their names.
Capino, Girlie, Shandy, Fred,
Danny Boy, Calypso, Sherry, Ben.
All sizes, all shapes, all tempers.
Round bellied shetlands,
long legged thoroughbreds,
chestnuts, blacks, skewbalds and bays.
All special.
All mine.
I learned about girths, bits, bridles and reins.
I groomed, picked and polished.
I was taught to rise to the trot,
discovered the easy rhythm of a steady canter,
and the heady fear of a full out gallop.
I was shown how to stop.
Sit deep in the saddle,
grip with your knees
and resist with your hands.
No lessons, no pay,
just experience soaked up
by a longing to know.
Every morning I rode out
with the wind in my hair
and my thoughts flying.
No hard hat. No worries.
Ten shillings eagerly exchanged
for an hours worth of freedom.
The beach rushed by
under the feet of my horse,
and the sea roared its approval.
The cliffs changed shape
while the town shrank behind us-
This was new territory,
outside my limits.
For the rest of the day
I walked proudly up and down
leading small children
as far as the beach hotel.
Plod and turn,
plod and halt,
and sometimes- just sometimes-
I was allowed to jump up
and lead a faster, older child,
from a horses back.
That was a badge of honour
that the local kids didn't like.
"Gerroff my horse."
Yeah right.
"Joan said."
For two weeks or more
my world smelled of horse.
It was a time of soft noses,
hard hooves and flickering eyes.
A time when anything seemed possible-
I was young and in love.
Robert Holman's play, German Skerries, an award winning play from 1979, is a subtle, realistic look at Britain through the eyes of three characters on a hillside overlooking both the sea and the industrial heart of Middlesborough in the North East of England. There is plenty going on offstage, as a middle aged teacher and a young couple talk, think, watch birds, boats and industrial unrest through binoculars and a small telescope but not a lot of action on stage. They talk, flirt, argue, and work through their own thoughts and concerns while we watch. It is a portrait of the times seen through a the microscope of a small group of people. We are shown the impact of the wider world on their lives through gentle dialogue and delicate interaction- all very English- rather than high drama. In fact the only time that something dramatic does happen to a fourth character on stage it is perhaps the least convincing scene in the play when set against the gentle realism of the rest.
The actors have to be very good to make writing of this kind work. There is no chance for them to grandstand or rely on events to bolster a performance. The only way to make it work is to show real, vulnerable people on stage- to be convincing as a character from the inside- and the cast of this first major revival from Up in Arms and the Orange Tree Theatre Richmond do exactly that. Howard Evans is a very recognisable type, one which I have met often, a likable, well meaning, ageing teacher and Katie Moore and George Evans are a convincing young couple, bickering sometimes but very much in love. There is a lot of warmth to enjoy.
The set is realistic and beautifully made, a small shed, a path and a patch of hillside, and it sat very comfortably in the round at the Stephen Joseph- a perfect backdrop for a tiny slice of life.
I enjoyed my afternoon very much, but theatre is a strange, organic business and on the afternoon I saw German Skerries from the back seats of a small audience it didn't quite seem to take off. The round at Scarborough is a strange, unforgiving space and there is a sweet spot which makes things work, a kind of chemistry between what is happening on stage and the audience who are clearly visible. When this comes alive in the hands of a company who really know the space it is magic and when it doesn't it is sometimes nobody's fault.
You don't know me.
You may see me,
look me up and down,
say the odd word
to criticise, condescend or praise,
but you don't know me.
You never have
and you never will.
Do not make assumptions
about my thoughts and feelings-
I am not you.
My feelings are not yours to appropriate.
You do not know my story.
Life is long and complicated
and truth is hard to find-
don't make things up.
You are wasting your time
on a jigsaw puzzle
with pieces missing
and you don't even have
the lid of the box.
Here's a clue-
the edges are not as straight as you think
and it isn't a basket of kittens.
The wind is ripping up the beach,
shattering the surface into
a million shards of wild sand
and sending them flying,
changing the landscape
one grain at a time.
This is a day of flickering water,
salt breath and sharp air,
when sunlight creeps along the bay
from one end to the other
escaping the racing clouds,
playing catch with the afternoon.
Superheroes, meercats,
home made tattoos.
Queueing, pushing,
coming on through.
Full bellies, smart answers,
raised hands and shouts.
You do that again
and you'll be getting a clout.
Speedboats, pirates,
Yo ho ho!
That house looks scary-
mum, can we go?
A rolling gait,
chilly knees,
he wants to get some clothes on
or else he'll freeze.
Tiny princesses
fresh off the beach
stretch out for candy floss
just out of reach.
A woman sits silently,
ill at ease,
sending sparkling bubbles
into a sea breeze.
Easter bunnies
are serving in Greggs,
ice creams made from rainbows
and chocolate eggs.
I told you already-
pack it in!
Mam, what are you DOING?
Get it put in the bin.
Children bounce in the sky
on an elastic string,
mam is worried-
she can't do a thing.
Watch that dog our Nathan-
he's after them chips,
the dogs eyes are darting-
he's licking his lips.
A man with a display stand
in dark glasses and hat
wants to tell the crowds
about God and all that.
What does the bible REALLY teach?
A world on the brink.
He'll give you a free copy.
See what you think.

"Try try but don't cry" - Dachshunds are my favourite breed alongside Labradors. Dachshunds are adorable with their short legs and long body, the way they walk and jump. This obstacle seemed almost impossible for this little puppy, but at last it did climb it. This puppy is from my uncles "Joshberg Kennels" -- by AbhijeetAJ, via Flickr

Shanghai Disney Protects CHP Plant with Rotork
Rotork valve actuators are supporting environmental protection technologies at the combined cooling, heating and power plant (CCHP) constructed to serve the new Disney Resort in Shanghai, China.
A project for the Shanghai International Tourism and Resorts Zone, the CCHP is a grid-tied, gas-fired power plant, which co-generates cooling and heating via engine waste heat and produces compressed air by self-generated electricity. The plant will supply hot water and chilled water for space heating and cooling, domestic hot water and all the compressed air needs for the Shanghai Disney Resort's daily operation.
The project will become operational in time for the resort's opening scheduled for the end of 2015.
Rotork IQ and ROMpak electric actuators are providing a key control element for the automated operation of butterfly valves, gate valves, control valves and blower fans in the power plant, biological aerated filters and pipelines. Efficient IQ non-intrusive technologies, including integral data loggers, enable the operator to monitor and analye the condition of critical and safety-related valves, while compact ROMpak actuators deliver operation of small valves.

Jacob Myrtue hates losing.
The Schaller-Crestland senior and his teammates found out about losing the hard way last season, finishing in last place in the Northwest Conference with a 2-14 record and a dismal overall record of 5-22.
Myrtue has made sure the summer of 2003 will be much more satisfying for everyone involved with Wildcat baseball, as he is one of the leaders on a Schaller-Crestland squad that has already doubled its winning total from last season and is tied for the lead in the Northwest Conference.
Myrtue is leading the team in virtually every offensive category this season and is one of the ballclub's best pitchers, and Schaller-Crestland co-coach Jeremy Langner said Myrtue's effort this year has been key to the newfound success of the Wildcats.
"His leadership and his hard work to make himself a better player hasn't just helped himself but it has helped the entire team," Langner said. "He's been a major sparkplug for us."
The fear of losing has been the fuel that has helped the Schaller-Crestland sparkplug shift into overdrive this season, and Myrtue said the motivation to win has been on the hearts and minds of all of the Wildcat players this year, including himself.
"I think our whole attitude has changed from last year," Myrtue said. "Everyone worked hard in the offseason and came in with a lot more determination this season, and I think that's really been the main thing in why we're winning more this year."
Myrtue has used his bat to display his determination on the field this campaign, as he is pacing the team at the plate with a red-hot batting average of .455. His 30 hits this season include seven doubles and one home run, and he has collected 21 runs batted in, with many of those hits coming in critical late-inning situations. Myrtue has also helped his team out on the basepaths, swiping five bases this year to put himself in scoring position for his teammates.
Myrtue said his patience at the plate against opposing pitchers has helped him move his batting average from around .300 last year to the .450 neighborhood now.
"I guess I'm just seeing the ball better this year," Myrtue said. "I'm trying to wait for pitches I can hit instead of trying to hit every pitch in sight, and that's helped me a lot."
Myrtue has also been a leader for the Wildcats on the mound, as he has a 4-0 record this season, with all four of those victories coming against Northwest Conference foes. A two-to-one strikeout-to-walk ratio (29-to-14) has helped Myrtue record a 2.70 earned run average in 31 innings of work, a dramatic improvement from last season, when his win total on the mound equalled zero.
"You'd never think it seeing him throw this year, but he had never won a baseball game as a pitcher before this year," Langner said. "It's great to see, because he's throwing strikes and maintaining great control, and that is what it takes to be successful on the mound."
"I'm not overpowering, so I have to be able to hit spots, and that's what I worked on a lot during the offseason," Myrtue said. "I think I can throw a little harder now, but it's really important for me to have control and put the ball in the right spots."
An All-Conference selection as a second baseman last year, Myrtue now patrols the shortstop and third base positions when he is not pitching, and is part of a veteran infield that has come up with a number of sparkling defensive plays this season.
Those webgems have helped the Wildcats pick up wins with regularity, and Myrtue said he is thoroughly enjoying the view from atop the conference.
"It's definitely better than being last," Myrtue said. "Anything is better than being last."

Cloud Expo® New York Early Bird Savings here!
Although PaaS is new, it's rapidly gaining momentum, with growth projected at 48 percent annually by Technavio, the research firm, and topping $6 billion in value by 2016. If PaaS is treated as a strategic opportunity to align agendas across IT and across the business, it may well prove to be a ʺonce in a generationʺ opportunity to clarify, improve, and strengthen everything developers do.
As with any new technology or approach to doing business, PaaS will appeal to different groups for different reasons. The clear business value is that PaaS is added at the application layer. For ISVs, PaaS can help extend the availability of a traditional software product or enable organizations to add new capabilities to their existing IT spectrum. It's also helpful to anyone wishing to achieve productivity gains, speed time to results, or reduce their costs. But like any technological shift, PaaS adoption requires changes in how people work and demands collaboration if it is to be as successful as possible.
In her session at 14th Cloud Expo, Karen Tegan Padir, CTO at Progress Software, will give a comprehensive overview of PaaS and explain the top five things that developers need to know about this new way to support and deliver applications by leveraging cloud technology. She will distill PaaS and its benefits, citing real-world use cases and sharing tips for deployment:
- Speed. PaaS gets ideas to market quicker, opening new, cloud-based delivery options for existing applications. Because of the power it provides, it is clearly the ʺnext big thingʺ for the developer community.
- Simplicity. Productivity PaaS offerings are often a model-driven approach to development and deployment that invoke high level programming languages, or even template-based software to help users, including those with little or no coding background, to create functioning business applications. Deployment is greatly simplified through PaaS because developers don't have to think about architecting, managing, or scaling the virtual machines that support the application.
- It's about the app. With PaaS, there's no need to worry about the assembly of the stack. Developers bring the application, and the PaaS provider takes care of everything else, including: Internet connectivity, power, hardware, operating systems, databases, web servers, application servers, monitoring, backup, restore, failover and scaling.
- A cloud on-ramp. By reducing the complexity of deploying software across multiple cloud computing instances - PaaS will help organizations jumpstart their hybrid cloud strategies. For companies aiming to modernize or use existing code, PaaS obviates the need to think about middleware and infrastructure and makes use of wizards and templates to update applications and even deliver new features quickly.
- Data integration is key. Increasingly organizations will need to move data between different applications running on different instances of cloud computing. By choosing a PaaS provider with real-time data integration tools, companies can develop applications quickly, deploy them anywhere, and easily integrate with real-time data from multiple sources for faster business reaction, analysis and problem solving.
