Now that school is officially out for summer & the days involve a lot more running around with my kids, it's important for me to be comfortable but still look pulled together. So I decided to give this "sporty" trend a try - it's a fun mix of preppy & polished, but still casual & practical for my lifestyle. I honestly never would have thought to wear sneakers with a pencil skirt - but thanks to the fun print on this one, it works as well with dressed-down basics as it does with ankle-strap heels & white blazer for evening. And this baseball cap is the perfect solution for those too-humid days when my naturally curly hair just won't relax. What are your thoughts on this sporty trend - have you tried it yet or will you be? Weigh in below in the comments!

I just love, love, love this look! I was actually trying on some sneakers today, and I just felt so awkward in them! I do love the sneaker look though, so I will not give up- I will find a pair of sneakers that are girly enough for me to wear! :)

Love this cute casual look. That skirt is perfect with the tee & denim jacket. And the cons and hat look great. I think I need to invest in some cute caps for the humid, bad hair days you speak of!

I'd kill for hair that stayed somewhat full in the heat! Mine is straight and thin and becomes even more limp when it's humid. I'm all about the ponytail in the summer!

So I have been reading fashion blogs for awhile now but I only read the content I never read the comments..... Until today. And now I see why! It is all other bloggers praising "How cute" your outfit is and linking to their own blog. How boring. Can you not critique an outfit or say you do not like parts of it without being labeled a hater? For me that baseball cap is the equivalent of "mom jeans" for that outfit. Major cute look with the exception of that hat, it makes you look dorky, sorry. There are other solutions for humid weather hair like braids or a topknot.

Hi Katharine,
Thank you for your honest feedback! I definitely want my readers to feel free to speak their mind and I completely understand that not everyone is going to love every outfit. I agree that the baseball cap trend may not be for everyone and that's okay. It was just fun for me to give it a try! Thanks for reading and for taking the time to comment :)

Oh my gosh, Kim....just too adorable. I'm loving this look for so many reasons. The jacquard skirt paired with the otherwise easy pieces, the denim jacket - always a go-to classic, the free spirited baseball cap and, the contrast of sweet arm candy and cute casual sneakers along with the pink and blue hues. So perfectly pulled together...great job as always!

Wow. That there are doctors out there who think like that scares me. Just the train of thought they lay out in their article is so Orson Welles! If it wasn't in the AMA website, I would have said that's just some hogwash conspiracy believers made up, but this is real. Which makes it... What are those people thinking? How can they ignore informed consent or even the very Oath they swore? I'm glad my doctor doesn't think like that, in fact he'd find that horrible.
This is not an opinion piece, so it doesn't mean that there are doctors out there who think like that. It's an ethic discussion in a ethics journal. This is a common type of exercise in ethics- a question is posed and then discussed based on the various ethical principles. It doesn't mean that anyone actually agrees with the question posed.
That doesn't make it right. Some things are so bad, they do not merit ethical discussion. This is one of them. Medical experiments or trials without consent do not merit discussion. It's highly unethical. And I shudder at the mere thought that some people find this subject discuss-able. I was lucky enough to be recruited without my consent as a 4 year old to a dental experiment in a communist country. As you can see, I am certainly not in favor of doing the same highly unethical thing to any other living human soul, and my stomach turns that someone would even consider discussing such atrocities.
For the record, what they are suggesting is not compulsory participation in vaccination trials.
Now hear me out. I am a non -vaxer so don't throw me under the bus. I just don't like the spread of misinformation. It takes away from our credibility. We need our credibility more than than they do.
What they are brainstorming would be similar to the donor registry. For instance when you apply for or renew your drivers license you would be asked if you want to be put in a database of people who would be interested in participating in vaccination trials. This what they mean by "mandated choice". You don't have to participate. You just have to answer whether or not you want participate or decline. JUST SAY NO!!!.

my son is also two years old ,& his Doctor says its totally normal for tots at this age to not wanna eat much and drink more
my son was also not eating much
my little brother hardly ate anything when he was a toddler. The doctor told my mom that toddler's stomachs can only hold like a half of a banana worth of food at a time. She gave home tiny, balanced meals like 1-2 bites each of fruit, crackers, and cheese. She put it in a plastic cup he could carry around and she would just remind him to take a bite every once and a while. This went on all day and she would just fill up his cup at meal times or if he said he was hungry.
He was always skinny but grew up healthy. He ate normal meals with us eventually and now he has the appetite of typical 20 something guy
He was always skinny but grew up healthy. He ate normal meals with us eventually and now he has the appetite of typical 20 something guy
My girls doctor said that as long as they eat a tablespoon per year old they are that they will be fine and healthy. My oldest did the same thing, my youngest loves food and always has.

Why Men Don't Ask For Directions (4 of 10) by Roger Thomas
This content is part of a series.Why Men Don't Ask For Directions (4 of 10)
Basic Prayer
Roger Thomas
James 4:1-10
January 28, 2001
It is one of those men are from mars; women are from venus issues. Men will drive around forever rather than ask for directions. Women are much quicker to ask for help.
It was so bad with one of the couples in a church I formerly served that they ended up on the Oprah show. Seriously! Kyle and Bev were a funny couple. You would have loved to listen to them talk. They were in their early thirties at the time. They had two young boys. Kevin was a coach and teacher who possessed all the typical male qualities of independence. They both loved to talk. However, it happened—somebody who knew them phoned the Oprah show in nearby Chicago with the suggestion that they might be good participants on a show on marriage issues. Once the producers met the couple, they agreed. So they put a camera man in the back seat and the sent the couple out onto the streets of Chicago with instructions to find a certain destination. They filmed the couple for quite awhile as they became lost in the city streets, Barb wanting to ask for direction and Kevin wanting to find his own way. Finally, Kevin stopped and asked for directions. Barb was quick to point out that when he did stop it was to ask the prettiest girl on the sidewalk for instructions. Oprah and her audience had a hoot talking to them about the experience.
Why are men this way? I want to insist that this is not just a male issue. It's a human condition. It is just more obvious in men when it comes to driving and directions. There might be many explanations. Stubbornness. Self-will. Independence. Pride. Over confidence. Maybe all of the above at some point. On the other hand, studies do show that men have a better sense of direction that women. We just don't get lost as . . . From the look on my wife's face, I think I had best leave this line of reasoning alone!

Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise began 2015 with an industry recognition award for the company's initiatives to help customers update data centers and improve their communications infrastructure through the incorporation of new technology. The recognition was made in January 2015 at the Data Center Market Awards in Spain.
Based on innovative projects and technologies in the data center field, the award was judged and given by the staff at Spanish publishing group BPS. Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise customer, University of Extremadura, demonstrated how technology delivers business outcome benefits to a customer which helped earn the award. The University, which spans four campuses required a network infrastructure that could support approximate 20,000 students, staff and other professionals.
The implementation of this solution improves the educational, administrative and management activities of all the university staff by creating a secure data storage environment across campuses separated by 100 km. With this, the University gives students, teachers, administration and services staff better access to the storage of data they work with, and to specific applications used by each group. IT department also has full visibility and control of the data center virtual machines, and is able to separate and balance the traffic between the users and the data center via SPB (shortest path bridging) technology.
The products used to implement the updated network include the OmniSwitch™ family for data centers (Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 10K and Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6900) and the virtual machine and network management system provided by Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista™ 2500.

Will and Jada Smith 'don't believe in punishment'
Will Smith was raised by a strict military father who expected him to be seen and never heard. So is it really a surprise that he now doesn't believe in punishing his own two children? Probably not.
"We generally don't believe in punishment," Will has told The Sun of his and Jada's approach to raising their kids, Jaden, 14, and Willow, 12,.
"From the time Jaden was five or six we would sit him down, and all he has to do is be able to explain why what he did was the right thing for his life."
"The rule in our house is you can do anything that you want and we don't pull the parent card until danger is involved. So we are not going to let you do something that injures yourself or will have long-term repercussions."
Will further explains that their 'no discipline' strategy is about encouraging Jaden and Willow to think for themselves, and to critique their own actions.
"I think it's a much more difficult question to ask someone – 'Why was that right?' – than to try to show them why it was wrong. Nobody wants to be wrong, all parts of yourself fight like crazy to not be wrong. So I'll say to Jaden, 'Why was that the right thing to do for your life?' and if he can explain why kicking his sister in the chest was the right thing to do, we can see to it that he understands that it wasn't so smart."
The radical approach to discipline is quite at odds with Will's upbringing and it appears the star has rebelled against his own parents' parenting style. "I was brought up with, 'You don't even talk to your parents about what your opinion is, you are not allowed to have an opinion. When you pay some bills, you can have an opinion.'"
I am a bit uneasy with this one. While I think it's wonderful to encourage kids to self evaluate, I also believe kids need boundaries. Kidspot's own parenting expert, Dr Justin Coulson, says research suggests children are more likely to thrive with boundaries and limits set by parents – who are also willing to work with their kids within these.
"Oh dear – so you stole a car? Why did you think that was the right thing to do?" … doesn't really work, does it? I think I'd rather assert some real discipline to ensure my kids KNOW what's right and wrong. No guessing with me!

"We want to significantly increase our investment here over the long term," he said, explaining that his fund is "substantially" underweight relative to GDP, but not necessarily relative to available market cap.

Hillcrest To Earn 75% Of Western Canadian Petroleum Assets 2017-02-23T15:48:05-05:00https://www.thetrustedinsight.com/investment-news/hillcrest-to-earn-75-of-western-canadian-petroleum-assets-20170223796/ Hillcrest Petroleum Ltd (CVE:HRH) has signed a letter agreement with a Canadian oil and gas company, whereby the company will earn up to a 75% working interest and become the operator of record in two petroleum assets located in Western Canada, it said on Tuesday. The company will provide expertise and financing to restore production in excess of 400 barrels of oil per day. The company expects that production from the fields will be restored during the second quarter of this year. Further production increases are expected through additional field development activity in the third and fourth quarters of 2017. The primary terms of the Letter Agreement are: The Seller owns a 100%Working Interest in the Fields. The Company will earn up to 75% of the Seller's Working Interest in the Fields by contributing expertise and funding to restore the Fields' production to previous levels from existing wells. Hillcrest's working Interest will decrease after its initial investment is recovered from production revenue. Hillcrest will become Operator of the Fields. The parties expect to complete binding definitive agreements by early March. This transaction is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval. "The project will provide cash flow and has the ability to grow through further development in and around the Fields. The assets being acquired had been producing in excess of 400 barrels of oil per day and were shut in when low commodity prices drove operating profit to unsustainable levels," said Don Currie, Hillcrest Petroleum CEO. "Current commodity prices allow Hillcrest to profitably re-activate existing wells with modest initial expenditure. In addition to turning production back on, the Fields have further development potential which we intend to aggressively exploit in the second half of 2017. While we continue to review US-based opportunities, our management team has a long history of creating value in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin, and we believe this is an opportune time to re-enter this world class jurisdiction." To further strengthen the Company's balance sheet and be consistent with the decision by the Company to concentrate on onshore oil and gas development and production, on February 3, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary Hillcrest GOM Inc. ("HGOM") was voluntarily placed into a Chapter 7 liquidation in the US Court for the Southern District of Texas. HGOM is the owner of a small number of non-operated oil and gas leases in the shallow waters of the Gulf of Mexico. After extensive consultation with financial and legal advisors, the Company recognized that business conditions in the Gulf of Mexico, most particularly for relatively small companies with non-operated interests, have become unsustainable. This voluntary liquidation will allow the Company to more effectively allocate resources to capture and develop attractive, low cost onshore assets and is expected to reduce the Company's consolidated current and non-current liabilities by approximately C$14.3mln. The Company has granted an aggregate of 4,500,000 incentive stock options to certain directors, officers, employees and consultants for the purchase of common shares exercisable at a price of C$0.07 per share until February 21, 2022. All of the options granted vest immediately.
