I'm reading Carrie Fisher's The Princess Diaries. When I heard she'd found old diaries from the time of A New Hope and revealed an affair with Harrison Ford in a book I was curious.
But I probably wouldn't have bought the book except I was at the Brisbane airport bookstore – returning from holiday to Mount Isa – the same week that she and her mother died. They were all the news.
The book was the last on the bookshelf. I grabbed it and kept it among my lengthy 'to read list'. Last night I finished Joe Hill's The Fireman.and realised The Princess Diarist was still in the pile.
I'm halfway through it where she publishes her old poetry, presumably about Mr Ford in the early days of their affair. And I just can't help compare his mannerisms to my own attitude.
"If you've got arrogance and indifference
You can make them pay
They're the most commercial product on the romantic market today."
And here's another one from Ms Fisher:
"I need to write. It keeps me focused for long enough to complete thoughts. To let each train of thought run to its conclusion and let a new one begin…I'm afraid that if I stop writing I'll stop thinking and start feeling. I can't concentrate when I'm feeling."
Often I feel I'm getting harder and colder on the outside, and more anxious and insecure on the inside. I tell myself it's not an issue until I can't control it, when the anxiety comes out with my interactions with those around me.
These feelings are a cycle. In foster care I was between those times, when I lost control and was punished by DOCS and the education system for it. And I wonder if the key issue, among many, was a restlessness. I lost my purpose.
I never quite told you why I left foster care and what happened after. But those who know me enough now must wonder how I came from the child care system to being in the position I'm now in.
It was a sense of purpose that transformed me. Then in the last days of foster care it was religion, it was a new faith.
And I have no purpose now. I lost it some time ago when I stopped writing.
I guess reading Fisher's diary makes me long for a purpose again, and that's in writing something meaningful to me. I write daily in my job, I churn out information in the peak of online journalism. I just don't write anything for me in the after hours.
There's no recording of the time I was in foster care. I did write journals but it was infrequent and they're lost. But I have something from when I started regularly recording, and even that's something personal I can share. Inspired by Carrie Fisher. Wow. A new hope for me? #Irony
But I'm going through my writing from nine years ago and it's bloody messed up. I'm embarrassed about my thought process then, but I'll let you read bits for yourself:

Total Chaos
Avoid All Sides
People Like You
First new release in a air few years for these Cali-punks still strictly adhering to their street level retro-gutteric that's so for many a right reason. Formed at the cusp of the nineties in the face of the then ascending commercialisation of the genre they spout bitter social and political invective over rudimentary blizzards of sharp-tongued trashcan punk rock right from an early-eighties pit. Straight to the point barrages levelling accusations that politicians areProfessional Liars may be easily shrugged off in our apathetic age in a frenzy ior 'really' like Slayer telling us that religions suck and anti-war anthems (Send The Boys Home) said to be simplistic and sloganeering rants like Fuck The C.H.P. quaintly 'rebellious' but for an authentic punk-pit ruck this admirable rather than essential record'll see you just about right, especially on Dancing On Your Grave, No Loyalty and Don't Care Anymore.

Leaks have already told us almost everything we need to know about the new Olympus PEN E-P5 – it's fast, fun, retro-style and packed with the latest Olympus technology, some of which even surpasses that of the OM-D E-M5, the camera company's flagship. As such, there were no surprises when Olympus announced its upcoming release in June early this morning. Perhaps the only thing that made us blink twice was the price – $1000 for the body alone. This may put some photographers off, especially since the E-M5 body is now available for less on Amazon. Olympus also confirmed that 'premium models' with a unique wooden grip will be available in limited quantities.
A welcome release for those with black versions of cameras in the Olympus MFT series are the black 17mm, 45mm, and 75mm prime lenses. If you're wondering why they didn't make a black 12mm, it's because it already exists as a 'premium' prime. The black 12mm costs more than the silver version, whereas these three new black primes have been marketed with the same price as their silver equivalents. Good move, Olympus!
The final announcement was a new VF-4 viewfinder, which will be available both separately and in the PEN E-P5 kit.

Did Bloomberg run against like a goat? Is that how he got elected? He has such little faith that the people who elected can make healthy choices.
I have no problem doing away with the free samples, I have on friend who told me they were "useless" anyways as the kind they gave her didn't work for her baby. And the cheapy looking crap from the formual companines. I have a strict rule about wearing company logos myself, advertising space ain't cheap, I'm not going to advertise for you for free.
But if I am educated and still choose to formula feed, don't treat me like an idoit. I've made my decsion for whatever my reasons are, now hand over the bottle.

3 Dynamite Direct Mail Marketers Tips
Using direct mail marketing? Here are three tips that can help you turn a simple campaign into a raving success:
#1: Start With Positioning
Positioning is the most important part of marketing. If you position your product or service as something which is completely new and different than anything else in its niche, you won't have to worry about your prospects going to Google to look for a cheaper alternative. A great example of positioning is the ant farm. This product started as an educational tool being used by teachers in classrooms. Then, the direct mail master Gerardo Joffe got a hold of it and repositioned it as toy.
Another great example is the pet rock. A rock was repositioned as something completely new and different, and it made a fortune for its creator. But it was just a rock. Another example is Blueblocker sunglasses, which were sold as a completely different solution even using the rather bold claim:
"They look like sunglasses."
Duh, they WERE sunglasses, but they made a fortune in sales because someone positioned them as more than just another pair of sunglasses. Create a positioning strategy for your product or service and who knows what kind of results you can get.
#2: Create a Strategy, Not Just a Mailing
The poorest direct mail marketing strategy is the single flyer approach. You send it out once and hope it gets enough phone calls to justify the money invested into sending it.
The most successful direct mail marketing campaigns are multi-step and follow a strategy from the first letter right down to the last one. For example, your first flyer/letter might introduce the offer. The second one will remind the non-buyers of the offer and of the expiration date, same with the third flyer. The final flyer can be sent as a final notice and capture all the buyers who didn't buy the first three times around.
Marketing research varies on how many impressions it will take for someone to become a customer, but all the research points to one fact: you need more than one contact. In some cases, you need several contacts. So don't just mail once. Create a strategy and test it by mailing the entire multi-step campaign once. Then refine it based on the responses. Then test it again. Keep doing this until you've created something that works every time you mail it.
#3: Refine Your Mailing List
If you're doing direct mail marketing right, you should be narrowing your list every time you mail. Look at the people who bought from you the first time and find the common denominators:
What's their general geographic location?
What's their age range?
What's their income level?
What's their sex?
Market research is best done after you've had some responses to your marketing campaigns. Many times, your target market is a bit different than you assumed, so stay open and examine your list of buyers. Once you've found your ideal customer, use the information to buy or to rent a more refined list in the future. Use the information to refine your positioning and your campaign strategy.
Remember that there's no failure in direct mail marketing, there's only feedback and refinement of your strategies. If you do these three things and keep fine tuning your strategy, a time will come when your direct mail campaign becomes a guaranteed means of getting new business.

U.S. to Appeal Health Ruling
Move Advances Constitutional Struggle Likely to Reach Supreme Court by 2012
The Justice Department said it would appeal a decision invalidating a core provision of the federal health-care overhaul, the next skirmish in a constitutional struggle likely to reach the Supreme Court before the 2012 presidential election.
On Monday, a federal district judge in Richmond, Va., ruled that Congress lacked authority to compel individuals to carry health coverage. If ultimately upheld, the decision would undercut a core...

America Needs a New Middle-East Playbook
I wonder if George W. Bush reflects on what he got the world into with Iraq. No sane person regrets the passage of Saddam, and the Kurds and Shiites are feasting on the Sunnis, as the Sunnis feasted on them throughout Saddam's time. But the United States has nothing to show for the thousands of dead and trillion dollars spent in the second Iraq War.

Last month I went to a presentation by an energy utility consultant, of sorts, and they were describing a very basic, free service they offer to help corporate and governmental clients track their utility usage. They take copies of the client's utility bills from the last 12 months and then plot the usage data on a single graph. They said that, often, this simple task can help highlight major inefficiencies and sources of waste that the client might not be aware of.
Sometimes it's as basic as expecting certain utilities to go up in the summer and down in the winter, and looking for exceptions to these common trends. Other times, it's just a matter of looking for big unexpected spikes that aren't linked to changes in productivity, etc. Listening to the presentation, I realized that I could do the same thing for my own utilities at home.
So, I started a spreadsheet to track our utilities. Every month when I get a new bill, I enter that month's data into the spreadsheet before I pay the bill. I've always assumed that I would notice a huge change in monthly usage just by paying the bill each month, but to be honest, my memory isn't that good, and even the more subtle changes can offer insight.
Here are my graphs for water, electricity and gas, from the three months that we've lived in Urbana so far:
It's a little early to draw any conclusions, but I'm excited to keep track and see if any surprises pop up. I'll keep you all posted of future developments.
It's worth noting that I couldn't have done this before we moved to Urbana, because we've lived in apartment buildings where the utility bills were divided equally between everyone in the building, instead of being linked to our individual usage. But for anyone who does get stats on their individual usage, this simple step doesn't take more than a minute each month and can be helpful to make sure your usage is what you think it is.

Notes from NBA TV's NBA Fan Night presented by Sprint – Tuesday, March 11, 2014: Houston Rockets (98) at Oklahoma City Thunder (106)Posted in Blogroll on March 12th, 2014 by Michael Tillery
Co-MVP's? Does Webber have a point?
I've written that no other player deserves MVP while LeBron is still playing at this level, but it's obvious Kevin Durant is making things interesting. I also wrote about the two before their Finals match up and it seems Durant is showing and proving that he — at least in the regular season — is nothing second fiddle. Read below and you'll see Chris Webber makes an interesting case for the two superstars to share the MVP award.
Voting is open for next week's game via NBA.com, the NBA Facebook page, NBA TV's Facebook page, Yahoo.com, NBA.com mobile web, mobile NBA Game Time App, the NBA Game Time from Sprint App and Twitter.
Fans can select between the following games:
Toronto Raptors vs. Atlanta Hawks
Milwaukee Bucks vs. Portland Trail Blazers
Washington Wizards vs. Sacramento Kings

Could this historic national battlefield in Monroe be haunted by the prisoners who were brutally slaughtered there? Some think so. During the war of 1812, 80 American prisoners who were wounded were taken by the British to Fort Malden. There were no guards to protect them but they were told that transportation would arrive the next morning to take them elsewhere. Little did they know it would be too late. On January 23, 1813, a band of Native Americans came in and brutally killed all of the prisoners. It's been said that the River Raisin ran red with the victims blood that day. There's a lot more history behind this story if you look it up but this is the condensed version for now.
The area where the massacre took place is now a small park and it's been rumored that the place might be haunted due to the horrific event that happened so long ago. Many battlefields are known to be haunted. Gettysburg is the best example of haunted battlefields. People report seeing ghostly soldiers in action, hearing gunshots, horses, drum sounds, and much more at Gettysburg, so it wouldn't be too far fetched to believe the River Raisin area might have something similar going on.
Have you ghost hunted in this area or know of any paranormal tales told about the place? Have you had a strange experience in this location?

The dictionary definition of a recession is "a period of reduced economic activity" or "a business cycle contraction." Usually declared after two quarters of negative growth in GDP (Gross Domestic Product), recessions vary in severity and duration but not in their effects, which include declines in real personal income, employment, industrial production, and wholesale-retail sales.
What we face today is a crisis that has destroyed personal and business wealth by trillions of dollars globally, undermined the foundations of the global financial system, triggered sudden and massive layoffs throughout the economy, and prompted an unprecedented level of government intervention. We can only guess at the long-term consequences, but we have already seen fast and furious restructuring in the financial sector, which has been the largest purchaser of technology in recent years.
Justifying technology investments in this environment is challenging. Revenues are down in most sectors. Credit is tight to nonexistent. Decision-makers are dealing with unusual levels of uncertainty, making them risk-averse and prone to freezing expenditures. Meanwhile, IT departments are short-staffed and scrambling to manage their existing projects, let alone contemplating new ones.
But it's not Mission: Impossible, especially if you can save your customers money. If you can make a compelling business case that wins over all constituencies — including business users, IT departments , legal and procurement departments, division heads, and bean counters — there is no reason you can't make the sale. But how do you make that case?
A primary consideration for most business investment decisions, though rarely the only one, is ROI (return on investment). That is, how many dollars in cost savings or revenue gains can be expected for every dollar invested? Even in normal times, the rule of thumb for technology investment is that the return must be at least 10 times the investment. You must gain $10 for every $1 you invest.
This seems like a high hurdle until you consider risk, which is another major factor that your prospect is weighing. What is the probability that the promised return will be realized? How hard and precise are the vendor's numbers and what are their assumptions? Can we predict and contain the disruption in established processes, the retraining required, the wind-down of the old technology, the cost of IT resources required to test and implement the new solution, the opportunity cost of not having those IT resources available to other projects, the risk that the solution might not work in our specific environment, the vendor risk, and the risk of time and budget overruns — among others?
And speaking of time, the third major consideration is payback period. How long will it take to recoup the initial investment? The longer it takes, the less predictable the outcome and the riskier the investment.
Thus, in today's environment, your prospect is looking for infinite ROI at no risk with an immediate payback. (Even then, she'll need to check with legal and IT.)
Now you're in a position to frame the benefits you offer in terms of ROI, risk and payback. What might those benefits be? On the cost-reduction side, your technology might reduce costs because it:
Then there is the revenue side. You can't fight the shrinking economy, but you may still be able to help enhance revenues. Does your solution shorten the sales cycle? Do you have tools and training that will make salespeople more effective or more efficient? Can you enable a new sales channel, such as online sales? Marketing and sales departments are interested.
Boosting revenues and slashing costs are the fundamental benefits that businesses buy — but not the only things. For example, 39 percent of the respondents in a recent survey of 100 CIOs by Hitachi Data Systems found that that in the next three years, the CIOs' biggest concern would be managing complex IT environments with minimal resources. If you have a solution that helps CIOs harmonize new and legacy technologies or standardize systems or reduce maintenance burdens — with fewer IT resources — they will be listening. Even if your solution does not specifically do that, the easier it is to implement and the fewer IT resources required, the better the chance it has of being approved.
Although they're not for everyone, SaaS (Software as a Service) solutions can take a significant burden off internal IT departments, because they are hosted and maintained by vendors. Upfront investment costs are usually a fraction of what conventional software solutions cost, while per-user charges allow companies to keep costs down in slow times and ramp up when business bounces back. If the solution also helps manage critical functions such as sales, payroll, travel, communications, or regulatory compliance, then the business case is even better.
Whether they're SaaS or conventional solutions, a number of tools and technologies ease the burden on IT departments and should do well in recessionary times, including:
And if none of this works with your customers and prospects, you may have an opportunity to pitch the Infinite ROI Solution: helping them find other uses in their organizations for technology they've already bought from you. It may not bring you any new revenue, but by embedding your technology deeper in those organizations, you'll be well-positioned for the inevitable recovery.
Many businesses adopt VoIP to take advantage of the cost savings without spending enough time reviewing the features and benefits made available by different solutions. If this is true for your business, there's a good chance you could be getting more from your VoIP system in the form of even lower costs or improved employee productivity. You may even find that your current software offers features that you aren't taking advantage of! more
The wrong phone system could be haunting your business - and we're talking about problems more serious than ghosts and ghouls. From increased costs to issues with scaling, we've identified seven important ways that a less than ideal phone system could be holding you back. You'll be surprised at how much of a difference this can make to your bottom line too. more
An in-house fax server gives an IT department centralized management and monitoring over the entire enterprise's faxing. This can help your company track usage and better maintain records for auditing and record keeping. However, there are serious drawbacks that come with utilizing an in-house fax server solution and these range from security to cost-prohibitive pricing. more
As an IT manager, maintaining physical fax servers and infrastructure is not a high priority. However, fax capability remains a business need simply because chances are your industry is dependent on its security. What if there was a way to reduce the amount of time spent handling fax complaints and maintaining physical servers? And this way took into account security, cost savings, and freed up your IT resources. Would you be interested? more
As the end of 2017 nears, you may be feeling pressure to make sure you close the year out strong.If you've been sitting on the fence regarding VoIP, this may be the perfect time to switch. VoIP options had never been better or more full-featured than they are now, and it may be just the thing your business needs to see a productivity and profitability boost. more

A woman was at work when she received an urgent call from her baby sitter that her daughter was critically ill at home. Upon hearing that, she sprang onto her feet to drive home to see her daughter.
She dashed into the pharmacy store first to see drugs she could get for her. When she got to her car, she discovered she had locked her keys in the car.
This made her confused as she knew she would need at least thirty minutes to drive back home due to high traffic and unforeseen events. She called the baby sitter to know how far? she was told her daughter was getting worse.
She informed the sitter of her current predicament and the lady suggested she get a long pin to try and jab the door open. When she scouted around, she was able to find one but she knew not how to use it, as per amateur things. With that, She decided to pray to God to give her a helper.
All of a sudden, An old rusty car pulled up with an old dirty looking man noticed her and pulled over. In her mind she was like "God is this what you sent to help me"?
The man came over and asked what the matter was. She explained her keys were in the stuck in the and did not know how to get it out. She then showed him the pin she found and asked if he could use it.
The man collected it and in less than ten seconds... poop, the door was open.
Despite his appearance, she was over-excited and gave him and big hug and told him "Thank you so much...You are such a nice man".
The man intercepted and told her that:
"I am not a nice man... I just got out of prison today from car theft and it has been barely an hour i have been free".
She did not send.. She still hugged him again and said "Thank God for sending me a professional".

Dave The Rave meets the Prince of Darkness
RTE's Dave Fanning in conversation with former Labour Party spin doctor Peter Mandleson?
We kid you not. The bizarre meeting happened at a recent function for Dave's publishers, HarperCollins (who are gearing up to publish the DJ's memoir, The Thing Is, in late September) at London's Victoria and Albert Museum.
Dave told The Diary: "There were three type of people there: authors: agents and publishers. I was walking around with this green badge on me that said 'Author' when Peter Mandleson, also wearing an author badge, walked up and said 'So you're an author, then?', and began chatting to me. He was hilarious. Telling me about his advance "
More bizarre was that Dave (pictured here in a photo from 1979) made a great pal of another attendee: Pauline Prescott, the wife of former deputy prime minister John Prescott.

Compact Range
The compact radar range at the ESL is a state-of-the-art system which can measure the radar scattering characteristics of objects as large as eight feet long or as small as a straight pin, obtaining complex radar signatures versus polarization, frequency, and target look angle for both non-cooperative target recognition studies and RCS control studies.
Ohio State has contributed three primary innovations to range technology. The first and most important is the rolled edge on the reflector which allows measurement of eight-foot targets as compared to four-foot targets for the same reflector without the rolled edge.
The second innovation represents a collection of efforts to improve the sensitivity while lowering the noise of the chamber. A computer-controlled microwave pulsed transmitter and receiver was developed which has very low power (1/2 watt transmitted) yet is stable enough so that very high sensitivity can be achieved. A new techniqe for time-gating the received signal further improves the sensitivity, and has been shown to be such a successful technique that it is being commercially manufactured today by Scientific Atlanta and Lintek. New radar absorbing materials (RAM) were also developed to more efficiently dissipate unwanted energy before it can reflect off the walls of the chamber.
The third compact range innovation is a new target support structure which is extremely rigid yet virtually invisible to the radar. Consisting of a tilted tapered-wing shape, its internal target rotation apparatus can accurately locate heavy objects while appearing much less visible to the radar than the thin strings used in the past. The compact range and accompanying data processing capabilities are available for commercial and Department of Defense use. RCS and antenna measurements, relating to current or future research, can be performed for interested parties.

Security fears have been raised over the Dalai Lama's visit to the UK as hundreds of people are expected at protests against the exiled spiritual leader.
The 79-year-old Tibetan is set to appear at the Glastonbury festival on Sunday before travelling to Aldershot in Hampshire, where he will open a Buddhist community centre.
But his visit will be marked by protests by the International Shugden Community (ISC), who claim the Dalai Lama is engaged in the persecution of Shugden Buddhists in Tibetan exile.
MP Tim Loughton, of the all-party parliamentary group on Tibet, said the Dalai Lama had been "afforded no police protection" and raised concerns that the spiritual leader's free speech was being "put at risk".
During a parliamentary debate on Tibet, the Tory MP said: "During recent visits to other countries people have tried to disrupt his peaceful meetings and conferences, so there is the threat that many of his meetings may have to be abandoned.
"What message will be sent to the Chinese people if the British Government do not afford him the protection that is normally afforded a dignitary of his stature?"
More than 500 ISC protesters are expected to turn out when the Dalai Lama visits Aldershot Football Club on Monday during his four-day visit to the UK.
A protest will also be staged at London's Kings Cross railway station on Saturday.
They claim media reports have shown religious intolerance and segregation practices, including signs above shops and medical facilities refusing service to people of the Shugden faith.
An alliance of 10 UK Buddhist Organisations have formally dissociated themselves from the protests, saying they are "very concerned about the protesters' aggressive, misleading and unethical behaviour".
An ISC spokeswoman said the Dalai Lama had escaped media scrutiny due to his "cult celebrity status".
She said: "This 'humble Buddhist monk', as he likes to call himself, makes vast sums of money out of Buddha's teachings, sports Gucci loafers and Rolex watches and stays in five-star hotels, whilst applying ruthless religious intolerance towards his own people who live in poverty, hardship and fear."
Sonam Lama, a Tibetan ISC member, said: "The Dalai Lama is used to being a religious dictator and ruling without dissent or dialogue. People in the West think that the Dalai Lama stands for peace and tolerance, but we Tibetans know better. He has no tolerance or compassion for anyone who disagrees with him."
The alliance of 10 UK Buddhist Organisations, including the Buddhist Society, said differences of opinion among followers of the religion "should be expressed in a peaceful, respectful, truthful and reasonable manner."
They said: "We are very concerned about the protesters' aggressive, misleading and unethical behaviour and the false image being presented to the public.
"The UK Buddhist Organisations signed up to this statement express their respect and support for His Holiness' stance on promoting wider religious harmony between the religious traditions and on promoting mutual respect and admiration between the Buddhist traditions."
They described the ISC as a "highly sectarian" group which had been staging aggressive protests during the Dalai Lama's visits to America, Australia and Europe.
Its aim "is to destroy the religious and moral authority of His Holiness the Dalai Lama", they said. "This also suits the Chinese Communist Party very well."
Mr Loughton said he had written to Home Secretary Theresa May to request police protection for the Dalai Lama.
He said: " Despite requests from his representatives, no security arrangements are in place.
"It's extraordinary given his status and the fact that every other country, with the exception of Latvia, have provided security."

Former Pakistan batsman Mohammad Yousuf will not be joining Leicestershire as an overseas player for this season.
Yousuf, who last played for Pakistan in 2010 and has even kept himself away from domestic cricket in Pakistan, has had a brief stint with another county Warwickshire last season.
Leicestershire today revealed they have been in talks with Yousuf for a number of weeks but were unable to reach an agreement, so the search for an overseas batsman continues.
Chief Executive Mike Siddall said: "We have been in talks for several weeks but unfortunately a problem arose this week which, between us, we could not solve. We are disappointed and are now looking at other options."
Earlier, Yousuf had said that he will only sign with Leicestershire if the county allows him time off for Ramazan.
"I have the contract with me and it just needs my signature to confirm everything," Yousuf said.
"However, I've asked them to give me a month off for Ramazan and I will only sign the contract if I'm allowed to take that break."

"Life is a balance of holding on and letting go." - Rumi
I have a plaque of this quote hanging on the wall in my craft room - I have always intended to make an art journal page using that quote, and today I finally did. Honestly, it's kind of appropriate for me on this page. I used to be very picky about how my stamped letters appeared on my cards, ATCs and other artwork. But as you can see here, they are not even close to perfect! I'm going to take you through the crafty steps I took on how I created this art journal page.
STEP ONE - smudging
The first thing I did was rub several colors of distress inks across the page. I used evergreen bough, shabby shutters, dried marigold, squeezed lemonade, and ripe persimmon. I could never re-create the same background - that's what makes it ART, right?
STEP TWO- spraying
After I smeared and smudged the inks onto the page I sprayed the page with water. I did give it quite a good dousing. The page curled up almost all the way, but when it dried it flattened back out. This muted the background colors a great deal and gave the page a more blended look.
STEP THREE - background stamping
I actually did this part while the page was still a little bit wet. I stamped the stylish numbers and the loops with text in ripe persimmon on the bottom as well as the balance sheet (get it?) in dried marigold. And on the top I used the geometric drawing, loops with text and scratch marks with the evergreen bough. Since the paper was still wet I was able to blend the stamps in a little bit - I used my finger and rubbed the numbers, geometric drawing, and scratches just so they would show up a little bit fainter.
STEP FOUR - letting go
I used StazON ink to stamp the quote. I stamped the quote onto the page (I temporarily lost the "l" so I had to go back once it was all done and put them in.)
STEP FIVE - stamp, paint, and glue
I wanted to include an image with the quote, and right nowI have quite a few butterfly stamps flying around as teacher appreciation gifts, and the swallowtail just seemed to be calling my name. I again used STAZON to stamp the butterfly, cut it out, and used some watercolor paints. Then I glued the butterfly right to the page. Thanks for flying by, I do hope you've enjoyed this quick tutorial - I think I might just use this quote again on another page.

Sometimes parents take high school sports just a little too seriously. It's one thing when they yell at the referee for making a bad call but it's a whole different story when a parent ends up threatening to rape and kill the coach's family members.
This absurd incident occurred last week at Lisle High School in Illinois; John J. Kasik was a father that took his daughter's volleyball game to a whole new level. After his daughter was benched during a regional match and the team lost, Kasik went on a not-so-typical rampage.
He began by following athletic director Dan Dillard home and started shouting about the game. Dillard said they could discuss the matter at school the following day.
Instead of doing what he was told, Kasik left numerous voicemails throughout the night, threatening to rape the coach's wife and daughter and then kill him. That punishment sounds quite ludicrous to me.
When Kasik showed up at the school the next day, the conversation went hostile and Kasik turned physical, attempting to block Dillard from leaving the office.
Now Kasik has been charged with felony telephone harassment, battery and disorderly conduct due to his actions. He could serve up to 3 years in prison if convicted as a felony rather than a misdemeanor.
I find this quite a shame when parents take their kids' sports too far. They're in high school; let them have some fun and don't ruin the rest their season because of your stupid actions
As if his daughter wasn't upset enough, Kasik probably made his daughter 100 times more embarrassed by threatening to rape and kill people.

Pinerolo Cathedral
Diocesi di Pinerolo ( sec. X; XV; XIX )
Vicolo Parrocchiale 11, 10064 Pinerolo (TO), Italia (Torino), Italia
The cathedral is dedicated to Saint Donatus, Bishop of Arezzo, mentioned at the end of the 10th century in the diploma issued by Otto III transferring the rights and properties of Pinerolo, including the church of San Donato, to the Bishop of Turin. On 14 March 1044, Marquis Henry of Montferrat and Countess Adelaide donated three manses also located in Pinerolo, to the church of San Donato. Bishop Cunibert of Turin issued a bull (1064) empowering the abbot of the newly-founded monastery of San Verano with spiritual authority for the churches of San Maurizio and San Donato.
At the beginning of the 15th century the original building, probably in Lombard Romanesque, was remodelled in Gothic style, probably at the behest of the powerful guild of wool merchants. In 1371 a portico set against the church façade was documented as being used for drawing up public deeds.
In 1748, with the institution of the Diocese of Pinerolo, the building became the cathedral. From 1766 to 1778 impressive renovations were undertaken to give the church a Baroque style, commissioned by the first bishop, Monsignor D'Orlié de St-Innocent. The marble high altar, dated 1781 and designed by Gerolamo Buniva, has Savoy heraldry to indicate the important contribution of Victor Amadeus III of Sardinia.
The building was fully restored during the 19th century by Melchiorre Pulciano, applying criteria of the time, which provided for very extensive restorations and redecoration. Restorations began in 1885 and lasted for over two decades, under the supervision of Pinerolo engineer Stefano Cambiano, who wanted to recover the building's original Gothic structure. Three chapels and a side entrance were built into the outer walls on the north side, while the chapels on the south side date from 1904.The new façade (the previous frontage had detached from the body of the church following the 1808 earthquake) was started in 1886 and completed in 1887, with a high gable and terracotta decorations inspired by those of the medieval buildings in the town.
The pictorial decoration of the interior, depicting Old and New Testaments stories, and images of saints on each column, were commissioned during the episcopate of Monsignor Chiesa from the painters Giuseppe Rollini and Alessandro Vacca, who worked from 1887 to 1892; there are also paintings by Enrico Reffo and Edoardo Calosso.
Of particular importance, on the first column of the right aisle, is a fragment of a 15th-century fresco depicting the Blessed Peter of Luxembourg. In 2001 work was undertaken to refurbish the chancel, with altar, ambo and cathedra in Asiago pink marble, by Mario Rudelli. Building began on the belfry in 1420, but was never finished.
A positive organ from Collegno Castle was recently installed in the right aisle and loaned for cathedral use by the Guidoboni Cavalchini family. The instrument, dating from the first half of the 18th century, is by an anonymous maker although there are suggestions that it is by Giuseppe Calandra).
Refurbishment of Pinerolo Cathedral chancel began while Monsignor Santo Quadri was bishop. Initially a temporary modification was made to the altar, turned to face the congregation, and to the ambo-lectern, using some of the wooden parts of the downscaled cathedra from the time of Bishop Rossi. This intervention eliminated the marble balustrade and the baldachin over the high altar.
The decision that led to the current arrangement of the chancel area dates back to 1999, at the behest of Bishop Piergiorgio Debernardi. The study of the chancel was entrusted to the architect Antonio Vincenti of Milan, and the three sculpted elements – altar, ambo and cathedra – were designed by Mario Rudelli. The aforementioned works, in Asiago pink marble, in iconographic catechesis symbolize the "Sacrifices of Abel, Abraham, Melchisedech" (altar); "Christ, the Good Shepherd" and the "Mission of the Apostles" (cathedra); "the Angel of the Resurrection" (ambo).

Hi friends! How about a little fashion talk on this Friday? It's always good to switch things up, right?
When Fabio and I were in Paris a couple of weeks ago, I couldn't stop noticing all the fashionable women. Before we left, a friend of mine told me to look closely at what Parisian women were wearing, since those styles will likely become trendy here in the US in about a year. This advice really stood out to me, and I paid close attention to everything!
One thing I noticed about the women in Paris was that their outfits were always so simple: skinny jeans, sneakers or boots, a structured blazer or leather jacket, a statement scarf, and a bag. That's it! And yet somehow they all radiated this sense of being so put together from head to toe, which is something I'd like to get better at. I think I already have a lot of basic pieces in my wardrobe, but what I'm missing is the accessories to pull it all together!
When it comes to fashion, I certainly like to look nice and follow the trends, but I'm also pretty easy going and very frugal. This means that while I can enjoy a nice ensemble, I'm not always as good at recreating it myself. Now that we're back from our trip and it's a new season, I have a new desire to get with the times and update a few pieces in my collection!
Let's take a look at what I have in mind.
Black Booties
I think every girl needs a good pair of black booties! I currently have a beige pair of booties that I love and wore all the time last year, but somehow I made it through all of last fall and winter without a black pair. There were about a million times when I wished I had them, but for some reason I never pulled the trigger. This year I vowed not to do that to myself again, so I'm going to start of the season with a new pair of black booties.
Here are some of the ones I like:
- Piace Boutique – $42.99 (sold out in my size, unfortunately)
- Lucky Brand – $139 (I love these!! Too bad they're so expensive…maybe for my birthday?)
- Nordstrom BP Trolley – $99
- Nordstrom BP Trott – $119
- Francesca's – $58 (I don't actually like these all that much, but they're much more affordable)
- Old Navy – $39 (Ok, I really don't like these at all but they're so cheap!)
Which ones do you guys like? Also, if you have any recommendations for nice but still affordable booties I'd love to hear about them in the comments section below! I'm thinking of maybe checking out the ones at Target too?
Fashionable sneakers were a huge trend in Paris! I feel like they're pretty big here in the states too, but they were everywhere in Europe. I saw a lot of women wearing white converse sneakers and I've been wanting a pair for a while, so I finally broke down and bought a pair! I bought these ones for just $47.99, and am so excited to wear them with skinny jeans this fall.
Now I just have to hope I don't get them too dirty, or can at least figure out a good way to clean them! :-/
You may not believe this, but I also saw a TON of women wearing these old school ADIDAS sneakers. I had a pair of these back in 7th grade!
The first time I saw a woman in France wearing ADIDAS sneakers with the traditional three stripes (like the really old school kind – not even the newer ones pictured above), I thought it must just be a random shoe choice, but throughout our trip I kept seeing them over and over! These shoes are back! I thought about jumping on the trend early and buying a pair now, but I just couldn't justify it yet. I can't wait to see if this trend comes back to the US!
Also before I move on, I just have to give a shout out to these sneaker-esque slip-ons that I bought from H&M earlier this spring for just $24.
I love that these are cheap, comfortable enough to walk in all day, and still pretty stylish. I definitely recommend these!
As I mentioned above, a ton of women in Paris wore statement scarves. While I already have a ton of basic scarves, seeing all of these women made me wish I had a few more bold, statement scarves that can really pull a simple outfit together.
After browsing around on Pinterest (follow me!) for a little while, I found a few that I liked!
[Source: Pinterest]
I wound up buying this extra large "blanket" scarf from Etsy for just $17!
I can't wait for it to arrive so I can wear it all fall. 🙂 Now I just have to figure out how to wear it the right way…
By the way, that Etsy store had a ton of other cute stuff, and I even added it to my list of favorite stores so I can keep an eye on their products. Check it out!
Here are some other plaid scarf/poncho items that I like for fall:
- She-in – $14.50
- Nordstrom – $55
And last but not least, I treated myself to this cute puffer vest from J. Crew when I saw they were having a sale and free shipping the other day. It was originally $128 and I got it for about $60! Sweet!
And now my bank account hates me, but at least I feel a little more prepared to step up my fashion game this fall. We will see how it goes!
Question of the day: What are some fall fashion items you can't live without? Feel free to leave links in the comments below!
9 Responses to "Fall Fashion Accessories"
go for the Lucky ones! worth the investment. i started buying more expensive/higher quality shoes because they simply last longer. ones that are made with cheap materials scuff really easily or just plain wear out. especially with all that walking in DC! happy shopping 🙂
I have the BP Trolley booties and love them! I love love love booties and have already broken them out for the season 🙂
Love all of these items! I was just saying that once I get a paycheck (eeekk!) I want to upgrade my wardrobe more. I feel as if my grad school wardrobe is just not going to cut it much longer.
I feel the exact same way about the black booties. Why don't I have a pair? I have suede ones that I didn't wear for a year, then last Fall/Winter I wore the heck out of them and got compliments. I was just worried my legs would look stalky, but they seemed to work out! That vest is the best, so freakin' cute! Love your new staples, even if you didn't buy them yet. xoxo, ganeeban
For washing your white converse – just unlace them and toss them in the washing machine with some towels (just so they dont clunk around too much)! Works every time for me 🙂 You can toss the laces in too, just knot them together so they don't get tangled.
I always spray all my new shoes/boots/flats with a waterproofing spray. It goes on clear and doesnt change the shoe color. Not only does it keep your shoes dry in the snow/rain/slush it also keeps them cleaner and its easier to spot clean dirt off. This is the one I use:
[…] Fall Fashion Accessories – Love her style (especially the scarf!) and made me realize I'm in dire need of a wardrobe update. […]

Chip and pin cards will be vulnerable to fraud: expert
Chip and pin payment technology may be compromised by hackers within a year, a US cyber security expert and former White House chief told a Belfast conference.
Theresa Payton warned institutions needed to be thinking about future ways of protecting card transactions after managing to break through security in a test laboratory.
As America continues to roll out chip and pin, people needed to be ready for card not present fraud to go "through the roof".
She said: "We found in the ethical hacker labs we have been able to spoof chip and pin at the sales terminals.
"If we can do it in the lab, it is usually within a year that the bad guys can do it on a commoditised, scalable rate - so be ready and be thinking about what is after chip and pin.
"You have got about 12 months."
Mrs Payton was the first woman to serve as US President George W Bush's White House chief information officer and oversaw IT operations in an environment where everything including a chicken fillet had its own barcode.
She is currently chief executive officer of fraud consulting firm Fortalice Solutions LLC and addressed a meeting of the World Credit Union annual conference in Belfast.
The cyber crime expert said international co-operation on tackling online financial fraud had improved, but was not good enough.
Although there is near 100% international co-operation on tackling child pornography, on finances it is a lot harder.
She added: "It is frustrating because we are funding terrorism every single time they get away with it."
She said people ignored the security of the payments system at their peril, adding: "We need to do better at actually locking people up and shutting them down.
"It is getting better but it still has so far to go. I am angry every time one dollar ends up in a bad guy's pocket."
Mrs Payton also told the conference that Edward Snowden's revelations started an important conversation on collecting data for security while protecting individual liberties.
She said computer analyst Mr Snowden broke the law after he publicised surveillance by US intelligence agencies.
"We all know if you think someone is listening to you democracy dies that day."

Title: Oz the Great and Powerful
Directer: Sam Raimi
Writing Credits: Mitchell Kapner (screenplay), David Lindsay- Abaire (screenplay), and L. Frank Baum ("Oz" works)
Length: 130 mins
Release Date: March 8, 2013
Genres: Adventure, Family, and Fantasy
Main Stars: James Franco, Rachel Weisz, Michelle Williams, and Mila Kunis
~IMDB Summary~
Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz. At first he thinks he's hit the jackpot-fame and fortune are his for the taking. That all changes, however, when he meets three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz), and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone's been expecting. Reluctantly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it is too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuity-and even a bit of wizardry-Oscar transforms himself not only into the great and powerful Wizard of Oz but into a better man as well.
~My Review~
Now, in this review I can't make a comparison between the original and the remake, since I never saw the original. Honestly, I never even knew this was a remake.
It's kind of hard to write this without giving spoilers, but I will do my best. I don't really know the story behind Oscar and how he got to "The Land of Oz". I wasn't really sure what to expect from watching the previews, but I'm happy to say I was pleasantly surprised. Mila Kunis played her role perfectly, even though I never would've pictured her for it, and I was happy to see Rachel Weisz too since I haven't seen her in anything in a while. It's a nice prequel to The Wizard of Oz, with the right mix of humor, action, and adventure, but not enough that it overwhelms the child-oriented theme. This movie is great for all ages, and of course great for family. I love how they didn't try to overdo the drama and make everything more serious and grown-up. Keep it kid-friendly, like it's supposed to be.
I give this four stars. I was not paid to do this review. All of my reviews are purely honest and of my own opinion.
If you like this review, stay tuned for other reviews of books, more movies, video games, and anything else I decide to do in the future!
