Cathy models the 1942 Hollywood Dress!
Friends, it's no secret that Cathy and I have been somewhat on the "outs" of late, especially now that I've insisted she start wearing her glasses instead of bumping into streetlamps and saying "Pardon me."
Luckily, my identical cousin embraced my 1942 creation right away and even agreed to wear it with some slightly more shape-enhancing foundation garments. "Do it for the boys" I told her and, inspired by the period, she agreed.
So here's the results of our little photoshoot. I should mention that, perhaps more than usual, it deals with adult situations, so parental guidance is suggested. A few of you might want your kids around to explain what your parents can't.
As always, to see these photos full-size, please click on any image and then, in Picasa, choose "View All" in the upper left hand corner, and "Slideshow."
So, what do you think? Are the forties Cathy's decade? (The 1940's I mean, of course!)
Please leave any other messages you may have for Cathy below.

What a beautiful, beautiful dress, accessorised and modelled to perfection. I'm sure Cathy will resolve her romantic dilema with the style and elegance she brings to everything else.ReplyDelete
Oh Cathy, your prince will come soon, I'm sure! You look so beautiful and elegant in that darling outfit.ReplyDelete

I'd definitely give it a go with Brenda :-). Although I'm allergic to dogs.. Could she switch to poodles perhaps?ReplyDelete
Great dress! Possibly your best so far, for me. I have a couple quibbles with the accessories though. The point of a turban was to cover up hair completely , since shampoo was unknown for half a decade (not to mention the lice problem). So it should have not just been a headband. I was totally titillated the first time I read about that in Deirdre Baird's bio of Beauvoir.. And veils go with hats, not ever with turbans. Small hats are OK, fascinators for instance, but there needs to be structure for there to be a veil.
That said, I -adore- the polka dots with the dress. Too classy. Nice shoes too.
I can't wait to see the undies post though. Rubber was impossible to find during the 40s, not so much a problem since hardly anyone but black-market profiteers could spare any body fat to make them necessary.
Coming out of faithful lurkdom to say - fantastic photo shoot! Cathy's makeup is immaculate as always, too. I'd say, go for Brenda. Cathy can always elope with the dogs if Brenda turns out to be the Wrong Sort.ReplyDelete

No WONDER my head has been itchy all day!ReplyDelete
Cathy does look great in the 1940's dresses. She pulled off the 20's rather well too though. I love the turban on her!ReplyDelete
Tell Cathy to keep looking--don't ever settle.
why must she decide between the two?ReplyDelete
Cathy is a modern girl - can't she have both?
It looks like Sidney can satisfy her financial needs with a minimum of...errrr...physical contact (the parking episode be damned - he looks rather mature for Cathy to be worried about possible side effects), and Brenda can satisfy the primal urges that a woman gets from time to time...
Even Cathy's world need not be so black and white :)
Oh, this is Cathy's best look, and shoot, yet! She looks fantastic. And yes, though her version of the turban isn't particularly historically correct, who says Kathy has to be? I think it looks wonderful - she's a modern girl and can adapt any look any way she wants. I think it looks wonderful!ReplyDelete
The only thing I would add would be some pearls...Cathy really needs some pearls!
And I agree with Binkydoll - as a modern girl, she can have both...or more!
Great job, Peter - keep up the wonderful work!
Oh, and I really liked the "busy" glasses on Cathy...they suited her!
Loved it! Hmmmm Brenda did not feel like the perfect match for the lovely Miss Cathy. I think she needs to keep looking, the streets of NYC must be filled with possible prospects for an elegant dame like her.ReplyDelete
Cathy girl, I say keep looking. Maybe you can find yourself a good plumber so you don't have to be reading those nasty books! No girl should have to take care of her own plumbing!ReplyDelete
Oh, and you look hot in that dress!
Cathy! You look so beautiful! Always go with Love Darling, never settle for less!ReplyDelete
ps a little more skin in the next dress. Please ;)
Cathy's gotta get herself some of them newfangled contraceptives :-) Thank goodness it all worked out. Can you imagine how your sewing skills would need to morph??ReplyDelete
Lovely dress. And Cathy--hold out for Mister... or Ms. Right. (Whatever floats your boat.) That's what I'm doing. Though on my more pessimistic days, I figure that he's not coming, 'cause he's been run over by a mack truck!ReplyDelete
You made my morning.ReplyDelete
My favorite slide is 12. Great photography.
Cathy should skip the men and women and go straight for the pups.
I love the dress . . . and agree that Cathy should not settle . . . let the romantic intrigues continue. And the turban/veil combo looks very fetching, whether not it is historically accurate. BRAVO!ReplyDelete
Hi Cathy,ReplyDelete
Great dress and photo shoot. You look smashing!! I say always hold out for love...nothing else is worth it. Perhaps Peter should make you the same dress with a short sleeve in navy print.
Dear Cathy,ReplyDelete
lover's grief? If you want to forget Sidney there is only one recipe: 30 men in 30 days ;-) Although you might find that after ten of those days you already feel better ...
Dress is nice but I think a bit too bourgois for you - something is missing. Your small waist perhaps? Just a little bit more of skin? More colour? Anyway, you look great in it and you should be very, very grateful: Peter's done a great job as usual and I think it is time for you to do something for him. Knitting a scarf, perhaps? Or do I have to this for you?
Give it a go with Brenda! You should always give Lady Love a try!ReplyDelete
Dress is really very pretty. It doesn't scream "forties" to me, I think because the fabric is so light. I like it better that way. I also noticed the veil with the turban (?) and the shoes which don't even come close to the time period. It doesn't matter though, because the ensemble is very very nice. I think Cathy looks good in black--and in red lipstick!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 1, 2010 at 7:02 PM
Lovely story once again. Cathy truly is a remarkable woman - such poise.ReplyDelete
I simply had to comment and say... That last slide (the black and white of Cathy looking in the mirror) is STUNNING! Great photography, and a great look for Cathy. My favorite so far, I believe.ReplyDelete
- lorrwillAugust 1, 2010 at 10:54 PM
Okay, I thought the roaring 20's were Cathy's perfect era but I now must say it is the 40's. And her ease and panache prove it. Just lovely, enviably lovely.ReplyDelete
And such CUTE lil doggies!
So now to that question.
Rather than face the kind of shock and horror belle Catherine faced, what would I do, you ask?
(If I hadn't gotten fixed as soon as I was legally able and if I dated, which I don't.)
Oh thank you very much for the droopy draws shot there Petey! Is that a hint that you want Michael to break out the paddle?
Ohhh I love this outfit on Cathy! Well done Peter!ReplyDelete
I think Cathy should be good at fixing her own plumbing, then she doesn't NEED anyone and can enjoy her time with whoever takes her fancy.
BTW: Peters outfits for Cathy are not exactly SUPPOSED to be PERFECT are they? I see plenty of women that could do well to follow Cathy and Peter's style sense anyway.
- CatherineAugust 2, 2010 at 6:58 AM
I second everything the last lady said! And Peter, I am so impressed that you have been sewing for only a year! Inspired by you and your recent beginners' tips, I have yesterday opened up my brand new sewing machine and stitched some practice lines on some old bedding. Not very exciting, I know, but I am so happy to have started up again for the first time since school about 20-something years ago! Thank you!ReplyDelete
- Claire RamseyAugust 2, 2010 at 9:09 AM
Cathy looks lovely. You can't go wrong with black and white, so crisp and alluring on a summer day. I'd say a nice big black straw hat with a white bow or flower, and the illusion of black tulle to top it off!ReplyDelete
Cathy dear, here is my romantic advice. It is clear from the shots with the dogs that your heart is full of love and the YOU are loved too! Let yourself be loved. And let go of looking for heart throb(s). *They* will find *you* as long as you leave the house in your delightful fashions. Meanwhile, make sure that you are excellent company for yourself (and Peter of course). I know that your heart is on fire, your passion for life glows with your every step! Remember dear, let yourself be loved! No need to accept facsimiles!
Maybe Cathy could have a poll on what type of contraception she should use. On a more sincere note- I love the turban with veil. Cathy is a trendsetter, not a character in a historical drama.ReplyDelete
I love Cathy's photoshoot. I think Cathy should keep looking.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 2, 2010 at 3:05 PM
I have to say that this is one of my most favourite outfits that Cathy has modeled. She looks utterly divine!ReplyDelete
Cathy, doll, keep on looking!
Ooooh, the turban is fab! Delightful slideshow as usual. Brava!ReplyDelete
Loved the dress - it looks wonderful on Cathy! The turban was a really cool addition to the ensemble.ReplyDelete
When do you think the swim suit set will be ready? I'm looking forward to seeing it!
Loved the slide show...looking forward to seeing what's next!
Another tour de force! I'm going to send Cathy some condoms and a rice paddy hat.ReplyDelete
Also: Team Brenda!
Gertie, she was USING a rice paddy hat at the time -- it must have leaked! ;)ReplyDelete
By all means Cathy must NEVER settle. She must look for ways to keep herself busy, and enjoy life ... but never get involved with someone so she doesn't have to be "alone". It's possible to alone in a crowd and there are worse things than not having a partner.ReplyDelete

Operating With Draft Horses On A Tiny, Sustainable Farm
Imagine chairs that appear as good from the back as they do from the front, and sofas in shapes that will make you swoon.
My sofa is nonetheless comfy and we all like it so considerably. A excellent sofa is actually essential, i bear in mind i had a lousy sofa last time and I generally sit on floor. Now most of us sit on this leather sofa and we never feel hot even right after long time sitting on it.
The art nouveau lines, as sophisticated as they are, frequently point to much less-than-elegant building strategies. All these curvy bits have to be joined collectively and there is no way about some less-than-steady brief grain appendages. That getting said, the designer did the very best he could with what ends up getting a extremely good piece.
Entryway: Make your entryway welcoming and homey without sacrificing elegance. Chic chest of drawers, cabinets and sideboards not only assist fill the space, but provide wonderful storage for anything you own in want of a house. Wall shelves are also exceptional storage alternatives, with the added advantage of display—use shelving to both show and organize knickknacks. Maintain a coat rack subsequent to the door to best accommodate guests.
If you want to clean up before the massive estate sale and toss any things you think to be junk, go ahead, but make certain you are specific these objects in reality have no worth. That old piece of dusty pottery or seemingly ugly vintage lamp could be uncommon and in fact worth thousands of dollars.…

My small creative business is a graphic design and art direction business based out of Staunton, VA. I moved to Staunton from New York City about 6 weeks ago because I wanted to get out of the corporate economy and environment and be able to make work that was fulfilling and contributing to a community that I felt passionately about. Staunon has a really wonderful "Main Street Economy" and is very local food oriented, which is something I am extremely gung-ho for.
Within Staunton, my experience and my style really (really) set me apart. I've only been here for 6 weeks, but it seems like my name is spreading like wildfire through the small business circuit. While my style has similarities to other design studios, I am unique for Staunton and my focus on localism makes me different from many designers.
Strengths: Design, Art Direction, Business relationships
Weaknesses/Who I will hire: CPA
Long Term Goals: My design work, while my main means of supporting myself financially at this time, will ultimately become a part-time business in the coming years. I am currently gaining knowledge in farming, permaculture and self-sustainability and my goal is to be part time graphic designer, part time farmer in the coming years. Within my design business (and my self-sustainability practices), I aim to encourage localism and stimulate small town and farm economy. I do not want to work for big corporations that I have no respect for to financially sustain myself.
Brands/Businesses that I admire: Breanna Rose (designer), Amanda Jane Jones (designer/AD), Katie Stratton (painter), Leah Duncan (illustrator), J Crew, Madewell, Rifle Paper Co
Stream of Consciousness: Clean, Minimal, Strong, Direct, Organized, Deliberate, Thoughtful, Thorough, Efficient, Valuable, Productive, Streamlined, Reliable, Classic, Creative, Unisex, Decisive, Clean cut, Focused, Stylized, Young, Modern, Effective, Personal, Versatile
While doing my stream of consciousness, I ended up sort of intermixing words that described my work itself, as well as my working style. I think both of these elements are really essential to defining my business, as I am the sole employee and my work-related personality traits define the traits of my business just as much as my stylistic tendencies.
My customer is similar to me in many ways. We value cohesiveness, aesthetics and results. My target customers are small business owners interested in food, local economy, clean design and sustainable, classic product. They hang out my local Creative Community Fund, and at social events geared toward small business owners and entrepreneurs, typically held by other small business owners and entrepreneurs.
At this time, I feel like there are many, many small businesses in Staunton that desperately need good design, but convincing them of that is nearly impossible. I aim to target the younger, small business owners that are more aware of the importance of branding and having a cohesive, well thought out brand and work my way from there. I want to find my "break through" small business that I can do the kind of design that makes me happy and fulfilled, thus proving the significance of good design to other small business owners in the area. Staunton has a very tight-knit community and they place a lot of value on localism and small town economies.
I am already involved with the local creative community fund, which is a non-profit that helps small businesses and entrepreneurs in all stages of their development. Being on terms with them will provide endless referrels, but being actively involved will allow me to hand pick my clients and work with people that respect/appreciate my experience and my aesthetic.
As a designer, I have a logo and website and am pretty handy with a camera.
I am a sole propriator, registered business in the state of Virginia. I have not yet registered for the city and I have a home office and need to look into whether or not that's required. I work alone and do not foresee ever having employees (subcontractor's, yay!) but I do have an FEIN for tax/identity protection purposes.

When the European Union was founded by the signing of the Maastricht Treaty in 1993 we were very happy. That kind of made us outcasts in the opting-out UK, particulary as we also advocated for UK membership of the Euro and Schengen.
At that time there was no public email or websites to browse. The Internet as we know it is younger than the EU, and it hasn't even been a quarter of a century.
The Internet's growth has been similar to the growth of railways two centuries before, with the accompanying monopolist zillionaires taking over newspapers of record, founding banks, and spawning their own congressmen and women.
However, one-percenters of yore such as Rhodes or Harriman built railways. Which required them to deal with land-owners along with local and regional authorities across continents. Naturally bringing them into close, back-handing contact with a nation's elites. Contacts the dotcom billionaires of today do not make as a natural consequence of their siloed off-shored online businesses.
But we're not interested in the offspring of today's dotcom billionaires causing nuclear war under President Chelsea Clinton in thirty years time. We're wondering where the EU's dotcoms are. Or to be more precise why doteu fails to even qualify as a brand, let alone a household name.
The dotcoms of the USA are well known. China has QQ, baidu, and ali baba. Russia has Yandex, vKontakte, and mail.ru. Websites used by hundreds of millions.
What has the EU produced? A tax-free offshoring centre for America's dotcoms and that's about it.
It's failed. Maastricht was a nice idea but the EU became distracted by the collapse of the USSR, dazzled by expansion, spooked by 9/11, and largely missed out on the opportunity of the century.
Tweet us your favourite EU dotcoms and prove us wrong

Many people going through divorce mistakenly believe that once Decree Absolute (the final decree dissolving the marriage) is granted by the Court that all financial ties automatically come to an end and therefore neither of them may make a financial claim against the other in future. This is not correct and they may be unpleasantly surprised some time after the divorce has been finalised to find that their former spouse intends to make a claim against them in Court for a financial order e.g. a lump sum payment or a transfer of property.
In fact there is no time limit for an ex-spouse to make a financial claim against their former husband/ wife, as has recently been discovered by Mr Wyatt in the case of Wyatt and Vince heard in the Supreme Court in March 2015. Mr Wyatt and his ex-wife divorced in 1993, however she has made a financial claim against Mr Wyatt some 22 years later. Mr Wyatt experienced significant success in business after the divorce. The Supreme Court has allowed Mrs Vince's application to go ahead and ordered that he pay for her legal fees. The case is to be heard in the High Court. It remains to be seen how the case will be dealt with in the High Court but the case does highlight the importance of obtaining a clean break.
If you do not have any assets at the time of divorce you may decide that you do not need to have a clean break order. However if e.g. you subsequently make a lot of money in a business venture or you are lucky enough to win the lottery your ex-spouse may decide to make a claim against you. So not having a clean break could have serious financial consequences for you at a later date.
If you both agree during the divorce proceedings, or even after they have concluded, that your matter is suitable for a clean break; you can apply to the Court to make that agreement binding. A consent order may be filed with the Court dismissing any future claims in life and in death (preventing an application being made against your estate in the event of your death).
For further advice in relation to a clean break and the cost of preparing a clean break consent order please contact our family team on 0115 9888 777.

Golf as an Extra-Curricular Activity
Students who are passionate about sports and wish to continue practicing it when attending university courses might require some guidance and information regarding how to combine golfing with university studies. This website offers some ideas that are worth taking note of when trying to combine academic activities with the wonderful sport of golf and much more.
Clearly one of the noblest sports out there, golf holds a special place in most men's hearts, especially if they were taught about it by their fathers. Featuring an intense battle and constant pressure over one's mind, it's easy to see how golf can be such an appealing sport to practice. Students who have applied to university studies, be it Bachelor or Master programmes, will have difficulties if they wish to keep practicing their favorite sport.
However, there are a few tips that they can keep track of in order to ensure that they will always be able to practice golf and feel relaxed thanks to it. One of the most important steps that students need to take in order to make sure that they will be able to continue practicing golf at their preferred university is to check if the university's sports programme includes golf, or, and this is the obvious choice most times, checking if the city where the university is located holds a golf club or golf course. If not nearby, than at least in the immediate vicinity of neighbouring villages or cities.
Becoming properly informed about the available golf courses nearby a selected university is of great important for students who wish to play golf during their study cycle at that specific university and doing so beforehand, even before registering to that particular university will give prospecting students the edge when it comes to golf information in that particular area.

Untitled (Cotton threads, nails, wood)
Geometric work lends itself well to graphics as they are the simpliest of forms you can use to create complex forms. I like using geometry to design letters because it implies unlimited combinations. I think it's interesting in relationship with words and the whole notion of language. I cannot think of a single piece of art that exists without geometric or mathematical considerations. Geometry is like the skeleton underneath the skin of art.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 24 — As Putrajaya prepares to table Budget 2018 this Friday with a theme of "Shaping the Future", many Malaysians who are feeling the pinch are hoping for measures and aid that will help ease their burdens.
Employees in both the private and public sectors felt the pressures of rising costs keenly, with the Malaysian Trades Union Congress (MTUC) focusing particularly on seeking the government's aid for the B40 and M40, respectively low- and middle-income groups, which it said were facing an "unhealthy income disparity" when compared to the country's top-earners.
The MTUC, in its October 2 wishlist to the government, urged for the current minimum wage of RM1,000 (peninsular Malaysia) and RM920 (Sabah, Sarawak) for the private sector to be almost doubled to RM1,800.
It also proposed a RM5 billion revolving fund, to be provided the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) through the Malaysian Building Society Berhad (MBSB), for personal loans of up to RM10,000 for B40 and M40 employees at zero interest and 2 per cent interest, as well as a RM20 billion revolving fund by the government for zero-interest housing loans for the same groups.
In its July 20 wishlist to the government, the Congress of Unions of Employees in the Public and Civil Services (Cuepacs) noted that the civil servants it represents are the backbone of the administration and catalysts of the private sector's success, but said it found some to be still living below the poverty line.
While expressing gratitude for the government's special financial assistance over the past four years, Cuepacs said civil servants had not received a bonus during the same period and would want one and a half months' of bonus.
Warning of a "homeless generation" of Malaysians who cannot afford to own homes, the National House Buyers Association (HBA) mooted four mechanisms to avert such a crisis, including curbing property speculation through higher stamp duty rates and higher real property gains tax on buyers and sellers who own more than two properties.
HBA said the government should increase the supply of affordable homes by incentivising private developers with fast-track project approvals, cheaper land conversion or alienation costs, partial tax exemption on profits from such projects.
It also mooted a nationwide rent-to-own scheme for the B40 and M40 group to help them overcome the usual 10 per cent deposit hurdle; it also urged the government to intervene by imposing price controls on affordable housing as it knew the actual land costs developers had to bear.
The Real Estate and Housing Developers Association (Rehda) proposed measures to make it easier for first-time buyers of affordable homes, including full stamp duty exemption on higher-value affordable properties instead of the RM300,000 limit announced in the last Budget, as well as exemption from higher conveyancing legal fee rates —— newly introduced this March —— for such properties.
Rehda's detailed 10-point list also suggested waiving the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on affordable housing construction materials, and allowing first-time homebuyers earning below RM10,000 to have the housing loan interest during the construction period to be included in their affordable housing unit's price.
Besides asking for lower business costs, Rehda also said the minimum RM1 million price limit announced in Budget 2014 for foreign buyers of residential properties should be replaced with a three-tier pricing system according to how urbanised a state is.
MTUC argued that the government should provide free education for students from B40 and M40 families to raise their living standards, instead of the current provision of full federal study loan under the National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) to students from low-income families which receive the annual BR1M cash aid.
"In short, we are asking for free education from pre-school till they graduate from university. Children of B40 and M40 be given free education be it public or private universities and current students who are in receipt of PTPTN shall stop repaying immediately," MTUC secretary-general J. Solomon told Malay Mail Online.
MTUC also said the government should introduce laws for employers to provide mandatory financial education training for employees annually for free, and to have students taught how to manage their finances as part of the school syllabus.
A member of youth movement UndiMsia mooted free tertiary education and an automatic conversion of PTPTN to a zero interest or lower interest scheme; as well as for tax rebates on PTPTN repayments.
Aside from seeking RM20 million for National Youth Day celebrations nationwide, the Malaysian Youth Council's (MYC) proposals mostly revolved around training youths, including a RM10 million one-off grant for seminars on being debt-free and finance management and entrepreneurship.
MYC also sought a RM15 million allocation for youth organisations to help plan follow-up programmes after the National Transformation 2050 (TN50) proposals are submitted to the prime minister.
Growing healthcare costs prompted the Federation of Malaysian Consumers Associations (Fomca) to suggest price controls of private hospitals, and for better public healthcare with more infrastructure and more specialist doctors to cut down on patients' waiting time.
The MTUC said the Employment Act 1955 should be amended to introduce one month's paid leave to new fathers, also asking that female employees be given 90 days of paid maternity leave for up to five children instead of the minimum 60 days under the same law.
Malaysian Public Transport Users Association (4PAM) president Ajit Johl repeated his suggestion from last year for the formation of a Public Transport Tariff Review and Tribunal Committee, which he said should include all public transport stakeholders such as the users, operators, regulators and report to the relevant ministries.
"Tariff reviews must be done against pre-agreed KPIs (key performance indicators) and be transparent," he said, adding that it could even manage proposed tariff reviews for air transport.
"This same committee can also act like an ombudsman to help users air grievances against operators, specifically the express bus industry," he said.
This year also saw the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam) insisting that the government show commitment to human rights in Budget 2018, such as by ensuring sufficient funds to assist refugees and asylum seekers.
Suhakam said the government should also ensure the disabled community's needs are sufficiently considered and to ensure significant funds to help the indigenous community realise their land rights.
Fomca mooted a comprehensive social safety net with possible features such as a food stamp programme, cash aid for child care, food aid in school for students and subsidised public transport.
An UndiMsia member also proposed a higher budget for the welfare department with a focus on children welfare and social service workers.

A repeated exert for strengthening postponement is doing a developpe, sullen the leg 2 inches, and increasing it up. Lowering, and raising it up. Basically, for as masses modern times as you can bracket it. Then, reposeful the muscles lock, stock and barrel in the past doing the adjacent situation.
The presupposition is that your arrangement is good, and you are not arduous too overmuch. You can do this fraudulent down, (on your rearward for devant and on your tenderloin for a la seconde) to isolate the leg muscles, and after on two legs up, which is harder.
The insistent flexing of the skeletal muscle muscles ( as in the above, not to reference every tendu and degage you do!) can check out of those muscles put on and cut with antagonism - so you requirement to stretch the striated muscle muscles - a lunge, in parallel, pulling up the abs and preference into it meekly and often, will long out the skeletal muscle. A deeper stretch is the runner's lunge: one leg long losing you, knee joint on the floor, palms on the floor on either loin of your frontmost leg; you stay pulled up as you long the striated muscle. If you turn out-of-the-way distant from the spinal column leg, you'll cognisance a stretch on the TFL (Tensor Fascia Lata) which goes insightful into the players of the hip muscles.Post ads:

Here's a bop elbow grease which will boost up all those muscles. Stand in ballet position in the alcove where you can clutch one barre on the partition in first of you, and location the ballet position leg trailing you on the barre losing you. Let the leg have a break for a instant and keep an eye on your arrangement.
Is the leg protracted out away from you going away you fundamental quantity in the back, as opposing to you having bunched up back muscles at and preceding the waist? Do you be aware of your stock muscles retaining the leg as superior as it can go? You can tryout this by lifting the leg off the barre short holding the subsidise effort or transfer forward at all. Just an inch, lonesome the leg moves.Post ads:

Hold the leg there, hunch the rear of the leg (hamstrings) and butt (hip extensors) retaining it. Put the leg fluff and gather it up 10 times, vindicatory an in. Gradually donkey work up to 20 contemporary world.
Here's an time lag of that games. Get set similar to preceding. Do a demi plie, allowing your wager on to move readdress as needed, but staying erect in your high posterior. Lift the leg basically off the barre and move up from the plie, holding the leg in post. Do this as copious modern times as you can.
Always unbend and long everything again after such a energetic physical exertion. Tension leads to poor musculus tone=loss of muscles.
For abdominals, fabricated downcast near maybe a petite rolled towel underneath your neck, super-slow motion haul ups are hugely efficient. If you tell three tangible seconds for the early linear unit of movement, and drag up progressively to compute to ten; then, 3 echt seconds for your prototypical inch vertebrae down, and deed down on the tenth tell - don't relax! Repeat two times more than earlier you pause spinal column. That's all! Only cardinal present time. You'll discern those muscles really in work. Breathe for the duration of - put one appendage down your collar if you surface a lot of strain (most do) and let the other foot get out toward your knees. You sole do this once or twice a week.
Here's a terrific stretch to fence all that employment - several phone up it a bow - it's a hindooism exercise. Lying on your stomach, range rearmost and snatch your ankles - consequently heave up your feet and safekeeping toward the ceiling and your unit will bring in a bow outline. This will long those abs (including the skeletal muscle) and likewise stretch intersecting your pectus and the body part country. Don't press-gang to the component of throbbing - rightful delight in a attractive long. You can stretch your stern the other way by decoration complete a outsize physio bubble and a short time ago quiet.
The preceding routines are exceedingly exact. If you do lecture day after day I would solitary do these all, doubly a week on top of everything other. If you do people two or three modern times a week, I would do them on those years (2 of them) because you are warmed up sufficient. But not two life in a row.

Hoot: Platinum Series
Hoot (2006) likely won't be the most disturbing film you'll see this year, but the overly relaxed comedy about a trio of teens who protect an endangered owl by any means necessary does have a really unfortunate "ends-justify-the-means" message. The movie preaches, in its own dopey way, violence first and dialogue second. Roy (Logan Lerman) transfers to a Florida middle school. For reasons explained far, far away from the script, he becomes obsessed with a barefoot kid named "Mullet Fingers" (Cody Linley). Soon, Roy is hanging out with Mullet and Mullet's stepsister (Brie Larson) as they engage in cute little acts of eco-terror to keep a pancake house from being erected over the nest-holes of endangered burrowing owls. We're asked to root for these idiots as they pull up surveyor stakes, put a crocodile in an outhouse, spray-paint a patrol car, release cottonmouth snakes to scare off guard dogs, present false information during a hospital visit, flee the five-oh, vandalize bulldozers, and assault the pancake-house CEO (Clark Gregg) a man so cartoonishly nasty, he makes these schmucks look like the good guys. And then, like three-fourths of the way through the film, it finally occurs to the kids to dig up an environmental report and call an on-site press conference which the entire town gleefully attends. Which is maybe something the kids should have tried before unleashing the poisonous snakes, don'cha think? The film's producers would no doubt retort, "Relax. It's a kids' movie." After all, one of those producers is the very relaxed Jimmy Buffett he of the laid-back songs about white-bread, middle-aged pirates with surprising bar tabs. Unfortunately, the lazy Buffett ethos infects Hoot to a clinical degree. Screenwriter-director Wil Shriner, adapting Carl Hiaasen's young-adult novel, puts the film in a sun-struck logical coma. We never really find out why characters do what they do. There are errant subplots that go nowhere. The movie has an episodic TV quality so pronounced that you might expect commercial breaks. And, worst of all, no one really learns anything. The film's final scene finds Roy and Mullet looking at a sign announcing a condo construction site. Their eyes gleam wickedly. It's meant to be funny if we presume they aren't figuring out where to plant pipe bombs.
New Line's "Platinum Series" DVD release of Hoot features a solid anamorphic transfer (1.85:1) with Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby 2.0 Surround audio. Supplements include a commentary track with director Wil Shriner and novelist Carl Hiaasen, six deleted scenes with optional commentary and a "play all" feature, a blooper reel (3 min.), the featurettes "Hoot's Hands-On Habitat Projects" (5 min.), "Backyard Habitat" (7 min.), "Meet the Kids in the Cast" (9 min.), "Animals in Action" (6 min.), "Visit an Animal Rescue Center" (8 min.), "Meet the Creator of Hoot" (5 min.), "Jimmy Buffett: Filmmaker in Paradise" (8 min.), "Director on the Set" (4 min.), and the theatrical trailer. Keep-case.

I seem to have a major embroidery fetish lately that is perhaps obvious from my posts about Jillian Tamaki and Takashi Iwasaki. In particular, I am mesmerized by embroidered and tactile typography which may have been sparked when I fell in love with the extraordinary talent of Maricor Maricar (read my post about their work here). I had some server issues when attempting to post this feature yesterday which only underlines that in an almost alarmingly digital dependant world, craftsmanship like the examples above feels even more special and vital to the world of design. Hoping you find some handmade type this weekend and it colours you happy!

Two years ago, Early Sounds Recordings co-founder Pellegrino S. Snichelotto dished up a debut mini-album that brilliantly joined the dots between Daniele Baldelli style Afro-cosmic grooves and jazz-funk. This is his first outing since and explores similarly sunny and meandering sonic territory, beginning with the languid guitar solos, jaunty electric piano riffs and Tullio de Piscopo style percussion of "Astri & Riflessi". Smoother and deeper dancefloor jazz-funk flavours are provided by "Zodyaco", "Libra Position" is a dub-driven affair rich in spacey synth solos and heavy bass, and "Genti Del Mediterraneo" is a riotous dancefloor workout rich in crunchy Clavinets, elastic slap bass and wild electric piano solos. It is, then, every bit as essential as its fine predecessor.

It's not Just Cause 3, but if you're looking for total chaos, Avalanche Studio's Renegade Ops will do the trick.
Published by Sega, the game makes its public debut in this short teaser trailer that packs in more explosions and mayhem than most games can muster up from start to finish. The top-down vehicular shooter is slated to be a downloadable title for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC some time this year.
Speaking with Eurogamer, Avalanche's Andreas Thorsén said the game is influenced by classics like Jackal, Cannon Fodder, and Jungle Strike. He added that it's "all about driving or flying around blowing stuff up while playing with your friends," adding that it's a "dream project."
Okay, I'm sold. Who else is in?

I literally had to take an orange stick and stir the polish vigorously, shaking it intermittently during the process to free all the glitter from the bottom of the bottle. The moment I set the bottle down the glitter began to fall toward the bottom of the bottle again so I had to give the bottle a good shake every couple nails. There is not nearly enough suspending agent in this polish.

Magento Hosting Companies in the U.K.
If you are looking for a Magento hosting company based out of the U.K., then you are in luck. There are several web hosting providers based out of, or have an office located in, the U.K. In fact, many web hosting companies have the ability to integrate Magento and other content management systems into their hosting platforms. Some of the most reputable Magento hosting providers have been detailed below for your convenience.
As one of the world's most reputable hosting companies, 1&1 has been serving its hosting members since the late 1980's. Magento hosting is just one of their many hosting solutions and 1&1 has made integrating Magento remarkably easy. This will help you get your website setup and your products listed for purchase. Better yet, 1&1 offers a free SSL certificate, which is essential for an ecommerce website when collecting sensitive information, like credit card information. While 1&1 is based out of Germany, they have a large office in the U.K., making it easy for local users to contact them.
Another fast and reliable web hosting company based out of the U.K. is 123-Reg. This hosting company has quickly grown into one of the largest hosting companies in the United Kingdom. 123-Reg's Magento integration is easy, just like 1&1, which can make launching your Magento ecommerce site remarkably simple. With 123-Reg's managed server hosting, you can get a free SSL certificate and keep your user's information safe and secure.
Other Magento Hosting Options
While 1&1 and 123-Reg are sound options, some website owners might prefer a smaller hosting company. Luckily, in the U.K. there are a plethora of Magento hosting providers for you to choose from, although many are small and therefore do not have the same reputation as the bigger brands mentioned above. If you do choose to host your website with a different hosting company, be sure to do your research to ensure they are right for you.
1&1 is the trusted domain and web hosting company of StatCounter. With quality web hosting solutions set at an affordable price, 1&1 surely has the service that is right for your website. If you still aren't sold on 1&1's services, most of their hosting plans come with a free domain and many additional features to help improve your site.
Benefits of Magento Hosting
If you are looking to launch an ecommerce store in the United Kingdom, then Magento is a sound option to do so. In fact, Magento is one of the most trusted ecommerce platforms in the world and can present a variety of benefits to website owners.
For example, seeing as mobile traffic is immensely important as smartphones continue to grow in popularity and usage, you will want to ensure your website is mobile-friendly. Magento allows mobile-friendly configuration, and you can even make shopping carts viewable on mobile devices.
Magento also has a sound content management system to help you publish onsite content. Better yet, Magento comes with a visual editor, which makes building pages and customizing new sales offers easier than ever. Along these same lines, Magento makes it easy for you to optimize your website for search engines. With a sound SEO strategy, you can use Magento to help your products rank in search results.
One of the best aspects of Magento is the ability to integrate third-party software. Programs like PayPal, MailChimp, and others can improve the user experience on your website and encourage shoppers to peruse your online store longer than they typically would. Some of these third party programs can help with your marketing efforts and will help to drive new users to your online store.
Arguably the best part of choosing Magento for your online store is the fact that it is an open source platform, meaning that developers have the ability to build new features and share it with other Magento users. Seeing as Magento is one of the world's largest and most popular ecommerce platforms, you will gain access to an extensive library of custom made tools and extensions.

Pakistan says it's ready for Abu Dhabi tri-series
Lahore, May 4 (UNI) Even though senior BCCI official IS Bindra claimed that the proposed tri-series in Abu Dhabi might be shelved with Pakistan not game for the tournament, PCB has contradicted him, announcing that the Men in Green were available for the September event.
Mr Bindra a Former BCCI President, told reporters in Abu Dhabi that Pakistan had expressed its inability to play in the tournament in September.
''Pakistan have said they will be arriving late from their England tour and then with the Ramadan it will be difficult for them to play in the proposed tournament,'' he said.
However, PCB Director, Cricket Operations, Saleem Altaf told journalists here that Pakistan was available for the proposed triangular series, also featuring India and Australia.
''Pakistan will return from England by September 12 while it will have to play the first match of this year's Champions Trophy on October 17. So there is enough time to play in Abu Dhabi,'' he said.
Meanwhile, he also informed that Shoaib Akhtar would resume bowling from next week in the presence of trainer Grant Compton after the latter's return from the EurAsia series in Abu Dhabi.
Shoaib has been plagued by knee and ankle injuries and has been doing light training after a surgery in Australia.
Altaf also revealed that Shoaib Malik, who recently had a minor operation on his elbow in South Africa, would be asked to join the training camp starting here from May 25 for the forthcoming tour of England.
Zaheer Abbas maybe the team manager when Pakistan tours England, Altaf said.
He also revealed that Pakistan will host the 2008 Champions Trophy in September-October and not in February-March as announced earlier by PCB Chairman Shaharyar Khan.
''We cannot organise the Champions Trophy in Feb-March because Australia's tour to Pakistan is scheduled then. Besides, the Champions Trophy has always been organised in September-October as most of the teams, including England, have off-season during the period,'' he said.

During the four centuries when printed paper was the only means by which texts could be carried across time and distance, everyone engaged in politics, education, religion, and literature believed that reading helped to shape the minds, opinions, attitudes, and ultimately the actions, of readers. In this 2004 book, William St Clair investigates how the national culture can be understood through a quantitative study of the books that were actually read. Centred on the Romantic period in the English-speaking world, but ranging across the whole print era, it reaches startling conclusions about the forces that determined how ideas were carried, through print, into wider society. St Clair provides an in-depth investigation of information, made available here for the first time, on prices, print runs, intellectual property, and readerships gathered from over fifty publishing and printing archives. He offers a picture of the past very different from those presented by traditional approaches. Indispensable to students of English literature, book history, and the history of ideas, the study's conclusions and explanatory models are highly relevant to the issues we face in the age of the internet.
• The first study of actual reading using quantification and economic analysis • Sheds new light on aspects of reading and its effect on the nation • An indispensable resource for scholars working on literature, reading, and the history of the book

'… magnificent, original and compelling study … stretches far wider than its title suggests. He has a mass of new and fascinating things to say about the centuries that followed the invention of printing and also about the Victorian age which succeeded the Romantic period … The Reading Nation is clearly written and is throughout enjoyable to read.' Ian Gilmour, London Review of Books
'Over the next half century many scholars will rely on this book, argue with it, and produce further evidence to support or challenge conclusions. I am prepared to say without qualification, however, that The Reading Nation in the Romantic Period is one of the most important scholarly books I have ever read.' Rob Hume, Philological Quarterly
'… a rich, ambitious, and invariably stimulating study of publishing practices in the English-speaking world that reaches back to the sixteenth century and forward to current debates about the globalization of intellectual property' Heather Jackson, The Times Literary Supplement
'it is absolutely indispensable. … It is strongly recommended reading for everyone interested in English literary history. There is nothing like it. We shall not be able to do without it. It defines a new standard in research into the history of reading.' Anglistik
' … shows how one can revise many of the old unexamined truisms concerning romanticism by scrupulous quantitative analysis, without necessarily forfeiting an evaluative and critical stance … Even more important is the dire story which the book tells, and the warning which it delivers to our own era, about the social and historical consequences of monopolizing knowledge.' Nigel Leask, History Workshop Journal
'… this dazzling, compulsively readable, intellectually challenging tour de force … St Clair brilliantly explores and explains the impact of economics, legal history, popular culture, societal structure, and bibliographic evidence, creating a seminal work, one that is truly indispensable to Romantic period scholars of every discipline. … This is a work of rigorous scholarship, imagination, supportable conclusions, and disciplined speculation. It is not to be missed.' Jack Gumpert Wasserman, The Byron Journal
'St Clair's voluminous book is important in the inter-related fields of publishing history, history of the book, and history of reading on two grounds - its methodology and its detailed data. St Clair's commentaries are informative, and his deductions will likely be regarded as bases for further studies.' Mid West Book Review
'The biggest idea the Tories ever had was to stop the people reading. Byron did more than anyone else to expose that crime and William St Clair has presented the whole story in an original guise.' Michael Foot, Tribune
'Mr St Clair's The Reading Nation in the Romantic Period is the most important and useful book I've ever read on the history of the English book trade. It covers a much greater time period than the title implies.' Terry Belanger, University Professor, Macarthur Fellow, University of Virginia
'St Clair's first few chapters are so well written and lucid that readers will be very quickly propelled into the subject, ready for the always pertinent supporting detail in chapters that range from Shakespeare to Frankenstein.' The Times Higher Education Supplement
'William St Clair's The Reading Nation in the Romantic Period (CUP) is a masterly investigation … St Clair pieces together a picture that is both startling and disturbing. St Clair's narrative is fascinating, illuminating and provocative with a liberal dash of humour, and at every stage his arguments are supported with an abundance of data gleaned from an astonishing array of sources … this book is a rare find, challenging and profoundly important and at the same time intriguing and eminently readable. I cannot recommend it highly enough.' The Edinburgh Academy Chronicle
'The footnotes in St Clair's narrative constantly refer the reader to his own appendices, a sign that the author has ploughed new and compelling scholarly furrows and has derived his interesting and equally compelling conclusions from a massive piece of genuinely new archival research. … undoubtedly worth every penny.' Rare Books Newsletter
'To anyone interested in intellectual property, or competition law, this scholarly, but eminently readable, work is highly commended. … it is invaluable as a well researched and readable discussion of the practical working such property rights in the publishing trade. It would not be surprising were this outstanding work to be found as 'lecture de chevet' for officials of the competition authorities in DG IV in Brussels or elsewhere.' Ronald David Mackay, Legal Information Management
'William St Clair's monumental new book is the most important contribution yet of the expanding field of book history to the study of Romantic literature … he has provided a firmer empirical foundation for speculation about the mentalities of Romantic readers than anything available before, and the implications of his stunningly original research will be pondered for years to come.' BARS Bulletin
' … an extraordinarily ambitious and impressive attempt to reformulate our knowledge of literary production and reception in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. With nearly 300 Circle pages devoted to thirteen appendices and bibliography, The Reading Nation is one of the most useful volumes ever published on Romantic literature.' Wordsworth Circle

I've seen some really gorgeous women lately with incredible bodies, but then I look at their hands and see how aged and neglected they are skin wise. There are times when I see women's hands and it's pretty disturbing. Not only does it age you immediately, it is not a pretty sight to behold. If you are meticulous about the care of your face and neck and hopefully you are! Then, please don't stop there, remember to care for your precious hands.
Regardless of age, it's a good idea to use a hand lotion or creme with at least an spf 15 on them every time you go outside. Keep one in your purse. I've seen 40 year olds with 60+ year old looking hands and it's because they have brown spots and wrinkles! Not glamorous! The skin on your hands is actually pretty delicate and thin, so be sure to keep them moisturized with a good rich hand creme before you go to sleep at night. What does it matter to spend $40 on a beautiful manicure and then never take care of the skin on your hands?
If you have brown spots already, don't worry it's not too late for you either. But start using spf right away!!There are many good ligtening lotions that can reduce the appearance of the sun's damage.
Remember, the hands often show us the first signs of aging!
Boots No7 Spf 15 Protect and Perfect Hand Creme
out skin tone in just 2 weeks. In 4 weeks, age spots start to fade.
One of my all-time favorite brands is Eucerin.
My mother used this on us from a very
young age and I have no complaints about my skin.
Eucerin Everyday Protection Body Lotion UVA+UVB spf 15
This antioxident enriched lotion is my favorite body lotion with spf for daily usage.
I recommend this for whole body application.
Available at most drugstores and at drugstore.com
$10 or less
Palmer's Cocoa Butter w/vitamin E SPF 8
Now this isn't a spf 15 like I would prefer,
but I wanted to include this hand creme as a
great moisturizer on the cheap at only $4.99!
And with an spf 8, you are still getting some protection.
Available at most drugstores and drugstore.com
Aveno Continuous Protection Lotion spf 85
Now this is a lot of coverage! Aveno caters to
people with sensitive skin issues and this small bottle would fit easily in a purse.
Available at Target and most drugstores

Oathkeepers = soldiers who pretty much openly claim they're willing to give up on the oaths of service they took and make sure that a white guy is put in the White House.
"Owing more money than they'll earn in a lifetime." Hey, military guy. Question for you. You're worried about overspending NOW? You've been part of one of the biggest money sinks the nation has.
"Outrageous taxes." They're lower now than under Reagan, especially if you're already wealthy.
I am impressed that he ALMOST gets where the true threat to (presumably) his "wealth" is when he mentions bankers and the wealthy. But yeah, it's the gub'ment's fault.
"We wonder why they hate and distrust us." Says the skinhead in the skull mask.

Oathkeepers = white trash who joined the military so they could kill people, but spent their time stateside and/or got kicked out because they couldn't be trusted anywhere near combat, so now they have Murder Blueballs and spend their lives time praying that the US will collapse into anarchy so they can live out their Rambo fantasies and shoot a bunch of people.

Is this how proto-supervillans scout for mindless cannon fodder assistants?

I'm not entirely unsympathetic to what I read about the oathkeepers. They seem to oppose the patriot act and the national defense authorization act. They have taken an oath not to round up American citizens and put them in relocation acts. I support this.
But what fascinates me is the idea that a raging egomaniac who dresses up like a superhro and makes "patriotic" speeches with (with stirring musical accompaniment that he provides himself) couldn't possibly be a child molester, because he's such a patriot.. I read where a female freedom fighter on the internet judged him innocent on the basis of his "body language" in his videos. I don't think she was kidding, That would be a ridiculous statement, even about a man who wasn't dressed up as a superhero.
Anyway, in April, Mr. Ghost Rider was convicted of raping his seven year old daughter, who apparently is in on the conspiracy. Of course, the real villain is his bitch of an ex-wife. As one "patriot" observed, "looks like she needs to have a date with Mr. Twelve Gauge".

Gonna split hairs on something because it's occasionally important. There is an NDAA every year; the NDAA is what funds the military, and it pretty much has to pass. What's different is, at the end of last year, the Republicans added the "indefinite detainment" clause that too many folks think is the entire substance of the NDAA. This put a lot of genuinely decent politicians in a bind, whether to pass the NDAA because 99% was vital or to reject it because 1% was intolerable.
So if you're wondering why a vast majority in Congress voted for the NDAA, just understand the bind they were in. And once again it comes down to the Republicans dicking with things.

Dr. Ostergren Named New V.P. Of Academics
Dr. Warren Ostergren
Vice President of Academic Affairs
Dr. Ostergren is a professor and chair of the Mechanical Engineering Department at Tech. He was selected after a national search created a pool of 25 applicants and four finalists.
"In the end, Dr. Warren Ostergren was selected for this position because he presented the best mix of appropriate education, skills and experience," Dr. Lopez said. "Specifically, he has proved to have a unique talent for dealing with difficult problems and constraints and how to manage growth in a constrained fiscal environment."
Dr. Ostergren will officially take over the position effective July 1, 2014.
The four finalists each spent a day on campus, meeting with the Council of Chairs, interviewing with Dr. Lopez and hosting a public forum. The university also allowed interested people to submit anonymous comments about any of the finalists.
Overwhelmingly, the comments for each of the candidates were positive; Lopez said Ostergren had the most widespread support – from faculty, staff, students and the research divisions.
Those comments helped gauge the depth and breadth of support on campus, Lopez said. However, two other factors weighed the most.
"First, the reviewing committee had very positive commentary about Dr. Ostergren," he said. "Second, during the interview with me, he came across as the most knowledgeable about New Mexico Tech – because he works here – and how to deal with conflicting interests. He demonstrated a level of maturity and temperament – attributes that are difficult to quantify, but important to consider in selecting an individual who has the best potential to succeed in this position."
Ostergren earned his bachelor's in mechanical engineering from the
He worked for GE from 1968 to 1999, first in
In 2001 and 2002, Ostergren worked as Vice President of Engineering at WASTECH in Portsmouth, N.H. and took his first academic job, serving as adjunct professor at York County Technical College in Wells, Maine.
Ostergren joined the New Mexico Tech faculty as an adjunct professor in 2003 and became an associate professor in 2004. He has been the department chair since 2009 and also serves as an adjunct in the Management Department.
He is the P.I. or co-P.I. on four research grants. He has served as thesis advisor or committee member for 44 New Mexico Tech students in mechanical engineering and management. In 2007, he won the Distinguished Teaching Award, which is presented at commencement.

Multi Credit Card Reader Concept Makes Splitting the Bill a Cinch
Splitting lunch with a group of friends is always a headache. It's a painful process of recalling old, dusty math skills and trying to meticulously calculate each person's share of the bill. And then beginning over and recalculating when you realize you totally forgot to add the tax and tip into the equation. And if you're with a group of really anal people, hairs need to be split over whose entree was more expensive, who ate the most shrimp from the appetizer and who drank a beer as opposed to water. The scenario brings uncomfortable spine chills.
Then, after all that tedious work, you realize that everyone only has a credit card and the establishment won't split the bill up like that. So one person gets stuck with a $200 bill and a handful of "promises" to get paid back. Chances are good that poor sucker won't ever see his money again. Unfortunately, the restaurant bill simply wasn't designed as a shared burden.
Here's a concept that anyone who's endured a situation similar to the one described can truly appreciate--the Piece of Cake by Jung You Chul, Her Miran, Lee Chang Ho, Lee Kiho and Shin Youngmi. It's a simple multi-card reader that allows each diner to pick out exactly what he ate on the bill and then pay for it with his own credit card. One bill, multiple cards, no annoying math and negotiations.
While the multi-card "cake" aspect is nice, all you'd really need is a touchscreen interface and single card reader so that you could pick out the items and pay your share. Either way, something like this would provide a very pain-free means of splitting the dinner bill--up until you realize you forgot to add the tip in and nobody has any cash. At least you'll almost make it out the door.

Wow...way to overcomplicate things when all you have to do is utter two words to the server when they take your order...
"separate checks"...
Why is that so hard?
by Chris Weiss
Waiters/restaurants won't always offer separate checks and it's got to be a bit of an annoyance. In some cases, it's a little embarrassing for two grown adults to ask to have separate checks. And even if you do, what if you share an appetizer or two? This system would definitely serve a function, how much it's really needed is another story.

God of Wisdom
For example, one time many years ago, we were supposed to go to my brother's house, who lives about 10 hrs. away. Looking at the weather map the night before, it said that a big winter freeze was going to go through the area we were to be traveling through. I am usually a very cautions person, but I really wanted to go to my brothers, so somewhere inside of me, I decided to ride on the truth that "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
Well, to make a long story short, they closed the interstate, and my husband decided to take the back roads, which, when we saw sunlight the next morning, we realized we had been driving on a road with 45 degree embankments on both sides, and that there had been no other cars in sight. To think what could have happened was scary.
I learned my lesson. Don't ignore the wisdom that is right before you, and don't add Scripture to it to justify what you do. I am reminded of when satan tempted Jesus, and told Him that if he would just jump off the temple, the angels would catch Him, using a Scripture too!!! Not a good thing to do!!! So many times, when we want to do something, we block our ears to God, and go about our "merry" way, like I did.
I'm thankful that we have a merciful God who teaches us safe lessons sometimes, instead of "zaps" us from the get-go. In fact, He gives us many chances to "turn" to Him and His wisdom before peril comes upon us. He doesn't want to hurt us, but if we insist on our own way forever, consequences will happen, and sometimes they are irreparable. We do reap what we sow, and God is not mocked, if we continue to ignore Him, and the Wisdom He gives to spare us troubles of all kinds.
I have a little plaque in my bedroom that says, "Be quiet and hear the still small voice of God." His words are whispers of love wanting to save and protect us. LISTEN.
