Mayhem # 2308081
About MeI'm an actress/model/teacher/funny person from Los Angeles looking to build my portfolio, as well as professional photo shoots for companies, products, and brands. I have been modeling & acting since I was 10-years-old, doing a number of print ads. I currently have a 3-year contract with a male fragrance brand as their lead female model as well as spokesperson and working on Harley Davidson's winter '14 ad campaign.
I am tattooed and often gravitate towards vintage/pin-up, edgy, and rocker styles. I'd love to do glamour shoots and fashion/editorial
I've worked as a freelance make-up artist and am very skilled with different looks, so I'm confident I can always do my own makeup. I also, have a hairstylist I work with who's building her portfolio, if necessary for a shoot.
I have no problem with lingerie, sexuality, and some implied nudity but I will not do anything pornographic or nude at all....even "artistic."

Vintage Apron Patterns
Cute old style patterns of aprons!!
An apron is an outer protective garment that covers primarily the front of the body. It may be worn for hygienic reasons as well as in order to protect clothes from wear and tear. The apron is commonly part of the uniform of several work categories, including waitresses, nurses, and domestic workers. Many homemakers also wear them. It is also worn as a decorative garment by women. Aprons are also worn in many commercial establishments to protect workers clothes from damage, mainly bib aprons.
In addition to cloth, aprons can be made from a variety of materials. Rubber aprons are commonly used by persons working with dangerous chemicals, and lead aprons are commonly worn by persons such as X-ray technicians who work near radiation. Aprons, such as those used by carpenters, may have many pockets to hold tools. Waterproof household aprons, made of oilcloth or PVC are suitable for cooking and washing dishes.
The word apron is from the metanalysis of the term "a napron" as "an apron". The original spelling of napron has been lost.

Ultimate Gross Out Book for Kidstoddler-times
Sometimes the best way to relate to your kids is simply to get gross – and if it takes a bedtime story to do it, hey, at least they're learning.
And thank goodness for reprints because Candlewick has re-released the must-have book for getting down on their level. Warning, you may itch uncontrollably after reading this one.
What's Eating You was re-released over the summer – excuse us for missing it – but it's worth a look for families with kids ages 4 and up. A matter-of-fact (and often funny) look at the creepy crawlies that are a fact of this world, it's gross, but an intelligent way to look at bugs that might end up quelling some fears. Or at least making them the cool kid on the playground come recess time.
Going beyond the parasites that live on you and me to those that make a difference in the animal kingdom, Nicola Davies' book is a good pick for winter time, when the worst of the creepy crawlies are too cold to make you itch.

sch4ever5 Stars Out Of 5Wonderful Resource!December 4, 2015sch4everQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for Contemporary Comparative Side-by-Side Bible: NIV/NKJV/NLT/The Message, Bonded leather, burgundy.Initially, I was hesitant about so many versions in one Bible. I have now used it for Sunday School and Sunday morning worship and I LOVE IT!! All the verses are grouped together on the same page, so the comparison is easy to make. The various translations create a more detailed and clear picture of the events.
Stew5 Stars Out Of 5Side by side bibleOctober 1, 2015StewQuality: 0Value: 0Meets Expectations: 0This is a great study Bible. It helps understand bible passages because you can read them in different translations.
krcs320995 Stars Out Of 5I Love this Bible!December 5, 2014krcs32099Even though it's heavy, I love to carry this Bible with me to church and read all the versions of the passage for the service. Oftentimes it helps me to better understand what the passage is saying. I also use it in reading through the Bible in the different versions and when a passage is perplexing to me, I read what it says in the others. Much easier than pulling out 4 different Bibles. I enjoy it so much I got one to give a friend for a gift! The only way it would be better is if it had an index of some sort.

The very best! I was surprised at the durability of the bonded leather, which was my only concern, for such a large volume. I know it's big, but I love carrying it with me and digging deeper. I have an old parallel containing KJV/LB/NIV/RSV that I also consider a powerhouse of the "classic" versions. I love both and use both daily. Thanks for a great product! Would like to see this available in genuine leather and Smyth sewn for maximum durability, with some maps included.
yewneekOverland Park, KSAge: 55-65Gender: male4 Stars Out Of 5Great for making Scripture personal in meaningNovember 3, 2013yewneekOverland Park, KSAge: 55-65Gender: maleQuality: 4Value: 4Meets Expectations: 4Like many I use apps like MySword and You Version to always have scripture handy, but there are places where gadgets aren't allowed (like in prison ministry) and where an open book can be shared together in study and discipleship. It has been a wonderful blessing to me to have a scripture touch me or someone else in a more personal way when reading in a different translation. For instance 2 Timothy 3:16 NIV I use when I speak about the Bible, but the same scripture in NLT seems to make it more personal for me and many I work with.
Ask Christianbook
Q: Are the words of Christ in red lettering?
No, all of the versions in this Bible are in black-letter text.
Q: How large is this Bible and how small is the print? I love the idea of having the translations that I use the most, and my pastor has recently started reading from the Message Bible, but my fear is the size and print of this Bible. Will it be too cumbersome with having the four translations to carry to church and is the print so small, that I will need a magnifying glass to read it?
This Bible is 9.25" X 6.25" X 2.25" and is printed in 8 point text, which is the average print size for a Bible.
Q: Is the NIV version 2011 or 1984?
This Bible is the 2011 translation of the NIV.
Q: Which edition of the NLT is used? First (1996) or second (2004)?
The 2007 edition is used in this Bible.

I was not impressed with the quality of candidates we were obtaining through what were major organisations in London and decided that Nolan Partners were worth trying. The level of attention we got as clients, and we are hard to please, was astounding. The quality of candidates with whom we were presented for our recently vacant Brand and Marketing Director position gave us a happy problem – they were all superb! The successful candidate has just attended our senior management conference and delighted our team of 70 key employees. He is proving to be a great cultural fit. We are currently using Nolan Partners on more assignments and are very pleased with progress-to-date. We are very much enjoying working with them".

Meg & Ray's Sunny BBQ Wedding at Smokey Glen Farm in Maryland
- December 11, 2014
- No Comments
[Images: Aimee Custis Photography]
SO many darling details from this real Maryland wedding from Aimee Custis Photography at Smokey Glen Farm. The couple took the farm theme to heart with so many handmade details that really came together beautifully! Meg shared SO many details on their wedding day (that are all below) but I always love when the couple makes it a point to create a wedding that is a reflection of them. It's always so apparent too (and they always seem to be the MOST fun weddings as well!). Meg & Ray depended on family & friends alike to create this beautiful BBQ farm wedding and if nothing else, the summery weather will hopefully bring you some warmth on this chilly December day :)
From the bride:
It was important to both Ray and I that our wedding be a reflection of us, and most of all, we wanted the day to be super fun for all involved. Early on, Ray instituted the wedding planning motto "More fun, less formal!" Though there were plenty of traditional elements to our wedding, we did not want a cookie-cutter wedding ceremony & reception. And like the average bride & groom, we had to be extremely mindful of our budget when making decisions. What helped us out a lot was imagining the party we were throwing wasn't a wedding. How would we go about spending our money to maximize fun? That helped us focus more on what we really wanted, and less on conventions.
We decided to DIY the wedding as much as possible, without driving ourselves crazy. We tried to keep it relatively simple, and enlisted the help of family and friends. My mom created the cloth banners to hang from the rafters and is turning them into a wedding quilt for us now. We created handstamped silverware pakcets using baker's twine and kraft paper pouches. The bridesmaids and I also got together and created the centerpieces using dried flowers. My dad designed and built a wooden stand strung with twine for us to clip the seating cards onto. Ray got his Pinterest on and made wedding day madlibs for the guests, in lieu of a guest book (we are considering binding those into a keepsake book). My aunt Mary hand-painted pebbles as wedding favors for the guests – which was a nice family touch because Mary always handpaints gorgeous ornaments for the family every Christmas. Ray's mom handpainted the table numbers, and also made an unforgettable pie-topper caricature of us out of clay. I have to admit, I was a little nervous about this one. She has made clay caricatures of a lot of family members, so we asked her to do a bride and groom one of us, maintaining veto power from the start. We laughed and laughed when we saw it, and the guests loved it. It will surely be a family treasure, even if Ray looks a little like Woody Allen and I a bit like Frida Kahlo! The whole event was a labor of love.

BELLEFONTE, Pa. (AP) - Prosecutors say as many as half a dozen of Jerry Sandusky's molestation victims will be heard at his sentencing hearing.
Lead prosecutor Joe McGettigan said Monday that the victims would speak at the hearing.
Sandusky also is expected to speak and to assert his innocence.
Defense attorney Karl Rominger says the sentencing proceeding may be over in less than two hours.
Sandusky plans to appeal his conviction on charges he abused 10 boys over 15 years, including attacks inside Penn State athletics facilities.

Environmental Services Facility leads the way with green strategies
|The CMUD consolidates the operations of four separate laboratories and several Environmental Management divisions for Charlotte/Mecklenburg, N.C. All photos: Tom Kessler
The Environmental Services Facility for Charlotte Mecklenburg (N.C.) Utilities (CMUD) consolidates the operations of four separate laboratories and several Environmental Management divisions. This new building includes public meeting areas for community outreach and interagency training sessions. The Laboratory Services Division tests water quality for drinking water and wastewater, while the Environmental Management Division oversees the operations of CMUD's wastewater treatment plants. The facility was designed to meet state-of-the-art laboratory criteria but also to demonstrate CMUD's commitment to environmental stewardship.
The project began modestly in 2001 as an interior renovation of a laboratory space that was housed within the existing main office building. After a series of early programming meetings between CMUD, Gantt Huberman Architects, Charlotte, and its laboratory consultant, Steven Rosenstein Associates (now merged into the New York firm Perkins Eastman), the project evolved into a new facility. The client concluded that renovating the existing building would not fully address CMUD's current and future needs.
CMUD's primary requirement was to consolidate into one facility the Environmental Management and Laboratory Services Divisions that were located in various locations across the Charlotte Mecklenburg metropolitan area. The consolidation would eliminate expenditures associated with operating and maintaining multiple facilities. In addition, there were ongoing maintenance expenses associated with building deficiencies in the outdated laboratories.
Design strategies
The building is located in a densely wooded area that is on the southern edge of the Irwin Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant. The building occupies the site's highest elevation to take advantage of views of the woods. The "L" shaped building has three distinct parts. The primary part, the main entrance and central spine, connects the other sections and organizes the plan; it is sheathed in white corrugated metal. The second part, the environmental management areas and community rooms, is sheathed in red brick. The third part, the laboratories and service area, is sheathed in split-faced concrete masonry. (See this month's digital edition for a floorplan: http://www.rdmag.com/General/Laboratory-Design-News-Archive/)
Because the site slopes gently south to north, and minimum site disturbance was an important sustainable design goal, the mechanical and electrical rooms were tucked under the main floor, reducing the building's footprint.
A colorful custom-designed glass canopy suspended under a steel structure covers the main entrance. The glass was designed by Seattle artist Pam B. Bayette, and depicts tiny creatures found in water and wastewater. The central spine begins at the glass canopy, continues through the building, and terminates at the outdoor staff patio. The spine is punctuated by small impromptu seating and informal conference areas with views to the wooded areas beyond. The spine features a linoleum floor pattern that is rich with colorful serpentine forms and swirls symbolizing running water and sunlight.
Daylighting into all habitable areas is provided with north-facing roof monitors, horizontal exterior sunshades, and interior lightshelves. The offices and laboratories are bright and pleasant and offer views to the woods beyond.
Laboratory organizational ideas
Meetings were held with the Laboratory Service staff from all four existing laboratories and Gantt Huberman to establish goals and objectives. During those meetings, it became clear that operating separate facilities was producing fragmented activities and some redundant analysis. In addition, the existing laboratories were overcrowded, and functions were not zoned properly.
The new laboratory layouts consolidated redundant analysis and added space to correct deficiencies as well as to accommodate future growth. The laboratories were zoned so that seating and office areas could be accessed without having to walk through active laboratory analysis areas. Fume hoods were located in areas where there was minimal circulation. In addition to providing efficient and environmentally controlled laboratory analysis areas, dedicated support areas were provided, including equipment rooms, cold rooms and a field support and loading dock area for sample receiving that maintains chain of custody protocols.
Finally, the facility was designed so that there was sufficient flexibility to support current test procedures as well as future needs.
Sustainability tactics
The building integrates sustainable practices as a fundamental part of its design. It has received LEED Gold certification from the USGBC, and was the first building constructed by the city to receive LEED certification. In pursuing this sustainable goal, CMUD has demonstrated its commitment to environmental stewardship and leadership in sustainability.
Choosing sustainable strategies for lab buildings requires more finesse than most building types. The integrity and functionality of the labs cannot be compromised at any cost. This leaves the design team with fewer fiable options from the sustainable design palette. The selected strategies must be carefully implemented during the design and construction to ensure the desired results.
Since CMUD provides fresh drinking water for the surrounding communities, the conservation of water resources was a high priority. Water-use reduction was accomplished through the implementation of several strategies, including an ozone water treatment system for the cooling towers that reduced the need for fresh water in the HVAC system. Low-flow plumbing fixtures were also specified, and the landscaping was selected to require no irrigation system.
Another strategy utilized was the proper integration of daylighting into the lab spaces. The recent trend toward more open labs lends itself better to daylit spaces, but the natural light has to be controlled to avoid glare and heat gain that can affect lab functions. During design, the lab spaces were virtually and physically modeled with a daylighting laboratory (the Energy Performance Laboratory Center for Architectural Technology, at the Univ. of North Carolina-Charlotte) so that the exterior shading devices and interior light shelves could be designed for maximum effect within the labs. These passive strategies were combined with integrated lighting controls to provide proper light levels as well as helping to save energy.
Maintaining good indoor air quality can be especially challenging in labs. The high demands for fresh outside air combined with exacting thermal comfort requirements can create high demands on the mechanical systems. To maintain good air quality and "right size" an efficient HVAC system, the facility's design included VAV fume hoods, carbon dioxide sensors, and low-VOC materials and finishes.
Other sustainable materials incorporated include linoleum made from rapidly renewable flaxseed oil, concrete with a higher volume of reclaimed fly ash, carpet with recycled content, and FSC-certified wood doors and laboratory casework.
The site and parking around the building were also carefully planned to retain as many existing trees as possible, to provide a wooded buffer and minimize construction grading. Rain water is managed on-site through the use of rain gardens planted with native plants to help reduce the water volume and remove pollutants before leaving the site. As an added bonus, the naturally maintained landscape surrounding the building provides calming and scenic views for the occupants.
Mechanical design
The air distribution system serving this facility was divided into two sub-systems reflecting the nature of the space and usage of the facility. The Environment Management block was provided with a mechanical system served from a variable volume 100% outdoor air unit and a variable volume 100% recirculating air handling unit. An indoor air quality (IAQ) terminal box for each thermal zone introduced the quantity of outdoor air required to satisfy the CO2 sensor for that zone. The Laboratory Services block was provided with a variable volume – terminal heating air distribution system served from a 100% outdoor air handling unit. Each laboratory module was then controlled by way of temperature, space pressurization and fume hood flow controls. The highest need requirement accordingly modulated the supply air delivered to the zone.
All laboratory exhaust was removed from the laboratory modules by way of a manifolded laboratory fume hood exhaust system ducted to N+1 redundant tri-flow exhaust fans on the roof.
The mechanical design provided not only a high standard of comfort and associated energy savings but also an overall low noise level (both inside and outside of the building).
Mechanical systems that need to accommodate very high percentages of outdoor air building requirements also need to respond to very low system thermal demands to very high thermal demands. Project load analysis led to the use of both modular boilers and modular chillers to accommodate these wide ranges of operation as well as to provide N+1 equipment standby capacity.
Since the building's opening in 2008, the Laboratory Service and Environmental Management operations have improved significantly. Additionally, CMUD has been recognized in the community for its continued commitment to environmental stewardship for building the first LEED Gold certified building for the city of Charlotte.
Barbara Lane, AIA, and Alan Hunter, AIA, LEED AP, are associate and project architect, respectively, with Gantt Huberman Architects. The Charlotte, N.C.-based firm offers architecture, planning and interior design services (www.gantthuberman.com), with a strong commitment to sustainable design. Other firms involved in this project included McCracken & Lopez, Charlotte (mechanical engineer); Browning Engineers Inc., Charlotte (structural engineer); Stewart Engineering Inc., Charlotte (civil engineer); Engineering Economics Inc., Raleigh, N.C. (commissioning authority); and Beam Construction Co., Cherryville, N.C. (contractor).

O'Riley live and on disc
I wanted to post this earlier, but accidently published the raw press release. I finally got time to go back to it, with an extra tag:
January 17 pianist and Allderdice grad Christopher O'Riley helped the Spokane Symphony in one of those last-minute substitutions for which classical music is infamous. The originally scheduled pianist, Gabriela Montero got the call to Washington to "perform" (as we now know) at the Presidential Inauguration. That was all fine and good, and the orchestra hired pianist Orli Shaham to replace her. But, as luck would have it, Shaham got the flu and had to cancel a few days prior to the concert.
That's where O'Riley came in.
He had about a week's notice, more than some artists get in these situations, but -- really -- not much time to learn Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 2 even if you have performed it before. The Spokesman-Review in Seattle wrote positively about his performance, including:
Some of O'Riley's most impressive moments came in the solo cadenza to the first movement, with its harmonic adventurousness. Also striking were the tender dialoge passages between soloist and orchestra near the close of the Adagio. O'Riley and the orchestra seemed to have great fun with gypsy-tinged high spirits of the finale. So did their audience.
Impressive stuff.
The extra bit I was referring to about O'Riley's bigger gig these days than soloing: his hosting of the National Public Radio and PBS program "From the Top." WGBH Boston Video just announced it will release the second season of "From the Top" on DVD March 17.

Johanna over at Comics Worth Reading has dropped some digital love on Love and Capes:
I've been remiss in not talking about Love and Capes more often, since it's my favorite superhero book. Although it's not really a superhero book, not in traditional style — instead, it's a romantic comedy that happens to feature a superhero, and its pacing shows a strong comic strip influence, with frequent punchlines. It's cute and funny and touching and well worth reading.
She links to all sorts of LNC related coolness, and I want to return the favor. Click here to be spirited away to her site.
