I am so excited to share that On My Desk, the scrapbook collection I designed for Gossamer Blue, is now available for purchase! My team just got their kits in the mail last week. I asked them to snap a few images of their stash and this is what they sent in.

It's still a bit surreal to see everything in print!
I love this dreamcatcher that Carly made using the gold vellum and wood veneer pieces. Project details are posted on Carly's blog.
Look for more projects in the coming weeks featuring the kit from creative team members Kelly Schmidt, Jamaica Edgell, Carly Robertson, Caylee Grey and Amy Martin.
Happy weekending friends! It's going to be a low key one for us – watching the USC football game saturday night and going to a birthday party on Sunday. What are your plans for the weekend?
Caylee here. Sup.
I am not a scrap hoarder. But I hoarded this acrylic album from my fellow Paislee Press CT member, Jamaica. I was so intimidated by its awesomeness that I felt like nothing that I could put in would be worthy. I eventually realised that I did have something that matched the level of awesome. My husband. With pink being just as manly as any other colours nowadays, I took the opportunity to mix the "her" part of the His & Hers kit, and the very manly Hey There Handsome kit. As always, I kept things super simple.
Have a wonderful October.
Products: Hey There Handsome and His & Hers

Lots of new products in the shop this week so let's get right to it!

Hello there! It's Carly here today with a bit of a different share. This week I was tagged by Liz in a blog hop tour and some of the questions asked really got me thinking about my creative process. I can easily get stuck in a creative rut if I spend too much time online. Now don't get me wrong, I love Pinterest, Instagram and visiting blogs for inspiration, but you know what they say, "too much of a good thing can be just too much.":) For me those places can often make me feel overwhelmed and the next thing I know I've spent way too much time online and nothing real gets done.
It's great to gather creative inspiration from places like Pinterest, blogs or magazines, but when it comes down to actually creating something I need to unplug. After turning everything off I will write down my creative goals in a to do list format. To me nothing feels better than putting checkmarks to a task once completed. For example my checklist might look something like this: Print project life photos – checkmark; write out journal cards – checkmark; gather embellishments – checkmark; and so on. I love lists!
I will also be the first to admit that my creative process might not sound like the most creative and free spirited approach, but for me it works. I like to keep things very simple so that I don't become overwhelmed, or worse start to procrastinate and then nothing gets done. I'm a list girl and totally okay with it.
All that being said I truly believe that finding a creative process that works with your own unique style can really help you stay on top of your creative projects and be very productive. For example, I don't think I would have been able to stick with Project Life for as long as I have if I didn't have some system in place for getting the job done. My creative process has definitely evolved over the years, just like my creative style has, but the one thing that has remained the same is that I've always put processes in place that aid me in getting the job done.
Now how about you, do you have a creative process that you follow when creating anything from a scrapbooking layout or a project life page? If so, please share! I love to hear about other peoples approach to creating and of course, if you have any questions for me about my process please don't hesitate to ask them in the comments.
Have a great day!

Our Mission is to
End Discrimination Based on
Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity

Welcome, Visitors!
The Kansas Equality Coalition is a unified statewide group of fair-minded people who are determined to end discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. We seek to ensure the dignity, safety and legal equality of all Kansans.
Follow us on Facebook and Twitter
About Our Members
The Equality Coalition currently has chapters in KC Metro, Hutchinson, Northwest Kansas, Lawrence/Douglas County, Riley/Geary Counties, North Central Kansas, Southeast Kansas, Southwest Kansas, Topeka, Central Plains, and Wichita/Sedgwick County.
Our current membership stands at nearly 2000 Kansans from all walks of life.
Ballot Measures in Hutch, Salina Fail
In the spring of 2011, Kansas Equality Coalition members from around the state met to discuss how we could continue to take the issue of non-discrimination to our local communities. Mindful of the recent loss in Manhattan and the legislative efforts to undo our gains, it was understood by all present that the chances of victory were small. No one, however, looked at the unlikelihood of success as a reason not to try.
Members discussed the stalled progress in Lawrence, where local chapter members had for the previous several years been working with the Lawrence Human Relations Commission on obtaining a favorable ruling on adding gender identity to their local ordinance. In Wichita, there was a long-standing desire to restore that city's civil rights ordinance, which, in 1977, included sexual preference until repealed in 1978 as part of Anita Bryant's anti-gay crusade. In 1999, the Wichita City Council quietly repealed the rest of the ordinance.
There were several cities that were considered for making a renewed case for equality. Lawrence, already inclusive of sexual orientation protections, was clearly at the top of the list for positive change. In September of 2011, the chapter took their request to add gender identity directly to the city commission, where they won on a 4 to 1 vote.
In November, the Hutch chapter made a public request for inclusion to their city council, which referred it to their local human rights commission for a series of public hearings. In Salina, members followed the same path, working with city commission and human rights commissioners to bring their issue to a vote in mid May of 2012.
At every step of the way the opposition, lead by Robert Noland of the Wichita-based Kansas Family Policy Council, publicly opposed our efforts. They made the wild and offensive claims their playbook has been using for years that we were a danger to children, that men would rape children in bathrooms, that we are out to destroy the American family, and even that we are nothing more than HIV/AIDS carriers.
In the beginning, Noland's fear and smear tactics did not work. The City of Salina passed a fully-inclusive ordinance at the end of May, adding employment, housing, and public accommodations protections based on both sexual orientation and gender identity. In the City of Hutchinson, however, chapter leadership made a last-minute compromise which severely watered down their local ordinance: only sexual orientation was included, and that for firings and evictions only. Gender identity was dropped as the only means to convince the swing-vote on the city council, Bob Bush, to agree.
Immediately after passage, Noland began his drive to repeal both ordinances. Under Kansas state law, city residents may, with enough valid signatures, petition their local governments for passage or repeal of specific ordinances. Petitions were submitted to both cities in early August. By law, the cities had two choices: repeal the non-discrimination ordinances, or submit the repeal question to the voters.
In Salina, the city commission stood its ground: there would be no repeal, and instead, the question would be on the November ballot.
With the mid-August deadline quickly approaching, the Hutchinson chapter decided to present a petition of their own: fully include sexual orientation in the city's local non-discrimination ordinance for protections in housing, employment, and public accommodations. As with the original ordinance passed in June, however, the Hutchinson chapter's leadership chose to leave gender identity out of their new proposal. Both KEC's and Robert Noland's petitions were presented to the Hutchinson City Commission in early September. The hope among Hutchinson leadership was that both ballot measures would be sent to the voters, setting up a situation where one measure would repeal the existing ordinance, and where the other would enact a new ordinance with expanded protections, albeit excluding gender identity. Unfortunately, the swing-voter on the Hutchinson city council sided with the repeal proponents, voting to repeal the June ordinance and to send the KEC version to the voters.
With the actions of the two city councils, there were now two simultaneous campaigns in progress: In Hutchinson, the message was to vote yes to pass a mostly-inclusive ordinance, while in Salina, the message was to vote no against legalizing discrimination.
The messaging strategies of the two chapters was very different. In Hutchinson, newspaper and television ads attempted to challenge the misinformation being spread by Robert Noland's campaign, specifically highlighting the facts that the ordinance would not legalize gay marriage, and that transgenders aren't included. One example of a Hutchinson chapter TV ad can be seen at http://youtu.be/UdIpkT1Clqw. Their messaging strategy, developed by Catalyst Creative Services, a Hutchinson public relations firm, also focused on a yes vote being one for fairness. There was a heavy emphasis on social media and pictures of individuals holding placards with statements about why they were voting yes.
In Salina, the focus was on not legalizing discrimination remember, the ordinance banning LGBT discrimination had been in effect since late May, and repealing it would legalize a currently banned practice. One of Salina's TV ads can be seen at http://youtu.be/S4NxjQWZOcs. Developed largely in-house, the Salina campaign stayed largely on the message that non-discrimination and diversity are good for the local economy. Local businesses with inclusive policies were highlighted in mailers and newspaper inserts, and were discussed with voters by volunteers. A highlight of the Salina campaign was the a door-to-door canvass that, in two short months, tallied nearly 7000 door-knocks and over 2000 voter contacts.
Ultimately, both efforts were lost. The Salina ordinance was repealed on a 54% to 46% vote (9079 to 7686 in favor of repeal), and the Hutchinson ordinance failed to pass on a 58% to 41% vote (8110 to 5783 against passage).
Moving forward, we are exploring our legal options. We will also be conducting a full review of the project, from conception to proposals to campaigns. What worked? What failed? Did the Hutchinson chapter's decision to emphasize the exclusion of gender identity play a role in the greater margin of loss than in Salina?
This fight is not over. It has only just begun.

This is a follow-up to our previous breaking news that the Kansas Supreme Court has lifted its stay on marriages in Johnson County. The high points from their order:
- Johnson County may begin issuing marriage licenses to all previous applicants first thing tomorrow (Wednesday) morning.
- Johnson County Chief Judge Moriarty was acting within his authority to interpret state law, the state constitution, and the various rulings and orders from the Federal courts, when deciding whether to issue licenses to same-sex couples.
[ Posted: Tuesday Nov 18 2014, 6:36 pm | More Details...]
"The court orders that its October 10 temporary stay of Chief Judge Moriarty's Amended Administrative Order 14-11 be lifted immediately."
Those couples with applications pending in Johnson County may go pick up their marriage licenses as early as tomorrow.
The order is lengthy, and we are reviewing it now for its impact statewide. More to follow.
[ Posted: Tuesday Nov 18 2014, 5:10 pm | More Details...]
The Kansas Supreme Court is currently conducing private deliberations on the State v Moriarty case, where Attorney General Schmidt demanded in October that same-sex marriages be stopped.
There will be no hearing, and no oral arguments. We are hoping the court issues an order or ruling today, or at least within the next few days.
Some counties are issuing marriage licenses without waiting for the Kansas court to rule - they consider the US Supreme Court's denial of a stay of Judge Crabtree's ruling enough to proceed. Some counties are accepting applications pending a ruling from our state Supreme Court, while others are refusing to do anything, including accepting applications, unless given a specific order from a higher court.
[ Posted: Monday Nov 17 2014, 12:07 pm | More Details...]
Marriage has broken out across Kansas! Well, in some places. In others, we're going to have to keep up the fight until our rights are fully recognized.
Here's what we know, county by county, about marriage license applications and issuance. If you have solid information about any counties not on this list, or new information about those that are, please email me at email@example.com. As we get more information throughout the day and over the weekend, we'll post it on our Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/EqualityKansas
[ Posted: Friday Nov 14 2014, 9:44 am | More Details...]
Get ready for some bumps along the way to full marriage equality.
Unfortunately, Sam Brownback and Attorney General Derek Schmidt are digging in their heels and vowing to continue the fight against full equality for LGBT couples. Schmidt is trying to make the case the Federal court ruling applies only to Douglas and Sedgwick counties, the homes of the two couples who are part of the ACLU lawsuit.
Here's what we can expect today and in the near-term:
[ Posted: Thursday Nov 13 2014, 7:33 am | More Details...]
"The application for stay presented to Justice Sotomayor and by her referred to the Court is denied. The order heretofore entered by Justice Sotomayor is vacated."
[ Posted: Wednesday Nov 12 2014, 4:34 pm | More Details...]
Nothing may continue to happen. Something may happen. We don't know. We will put the word out the moment we learn something.
[ Posted: Wednesday Nov 12 2014, 6:44 am | More Details...]
The order is here: https://www.facebook.com/EqualityKansas/photos/a.219742414706143.67146.120348131312239/963745190305858/?l=dfcfe07c25
HOWEVER: She's giving the parties til 5pm Eastern (4pm Central) tomorrow to respond. Given that tomorrow is a legal holiday and courts across the state and nation will be closed, she's clearly in a hurry to resolve the Kansas question as quickly as possible. We could very well still have marriages on Wednesday.
[ Posted: Monday Nov 10 2014, 4:49 pm | More Details...]
HOWEVER: He has stayed his order until 5pm on November 11, pending appeal to the 10th Circuit by the Kansas Attorney General.
Short version: No marriages until November 12 at the earliest.
This is the victory we've been hoping for, but we still have another week, at least, to wait.
More news as it comes in.
[ Posted: Tuesday Nov 4 2014, 2:42 pm | More Details...]
The hearing before US District Judge Daniel Crabtree concluded just moments ago.
At the conclusion of the proceeding, he stated that he would be issuing a written order "very soon." My understanding of initial reports is that the order may come in a matter of just a few days.
According to our Equality Kansas State Chair, Sandra Meade, the judge extensively questioned the Assistant Attorney General arguing the state's side. Sandra says the judge seemed "incredulous" at times, asking the AG's office how their arguments got "from here to there."

It was a great play to take my 4 year old son to. As all the actors are pretty young...7-10 mostly it seemed...he was able to really relate and had a great time. You can tell the kids worked hard and they put on an awesome production. I look forward to returning to the theater for more shows in the future!

I don't want to go out of my way to see mainly a children's theater school performance. If my kids were in it, it's different, and I guess it was well done for a group of mainly non-professionals, but this was painful.

Amy Donaldson: Can new coach Guy Thibault heal old wounds on U.S. Short Track Speedskating Team?
Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret News
KEARNS — Normally a coach is stressed about strategy, worried about teaching technique and focused — almost exclusively — on finding ways to win.
Guy Thibault will not have it that easy.
The former Canadian Olympian and longtime coach and consultant takes over the U.S. short track speedskating head coaching duties at a time when the team doesn't even trust each other — let alone a guy they only know on paper. He inherits a team that is literally splintered into three factions — one of which practices at a separate facility from the other two.
There is no camaraderie, no unity. In essence, there is no team.
But Thibault believes he can change that, even as he acknowledges the reality of the situation.
"I don't expect us to be a team by this season," he said as he watched the skaters compete in this weekend's U.S. Championships. "But hopefully by next year. We have a lot to build on right now."
The controversy had been brewing for years, but it exploded in late August when 19 current and former athletes, including Olympians, filed complaints and grievances with U.S. Speedskating, accusing then-head coach Jae Su Chun and two of his assistants of physical, verbal and emotional abuse.
The allegations ranged from angry insults to physical altercations, and in one case, a police report was filed in which a skater alleged Chun hurt his back after he reported a back injury to the coach.
Chun denied the allegations, but U.S. Speedskating officials put him on administrative leave and then hired a New York law firm to investigate the claims. Shortly after Chun was suspended, seven other athletes, including bronze medalist Lana Gehring, issued a statement of support for the coach and his assistants.
The investigation began just a week before the short track team raced to qualify for a spot on the fall World Cup team, and as athletes battled for places on that squad, another former Olympian offered a bombshell that would cost Chun his job.
Simon Cho said he'd bent the blade of a Canadian skater during the world championships because Chun badgered and bullied him to do so. Chun adamantly denied it, but admitted that both he and his assistant found out afterward and failed to report it to authorities.
The coaches resigned and were banned from coaching (although they can and do still coach U.S. athletes privately) until February 2014. Cho is still being investigated for tampering and didn't make the World Cup team, nor did he participate in the U.S. Championships.
Through it all, the athletes held to their convictions — whether it was in support of Chun or against him. The fissures became cavernous.
Many athletes saw the problems as more insidious than an abusive coach. They saw U.S. Speedskating as an organization that didn't listen to the athletes they were supposed to be developing and supporting.
It was clear that it would take more than a change of coaches to heal the wounds of this team.
Needless to say, the fall World Cup was difficult for athletes who struggled to compete against the world's best skaters and to navigate the minefield that had become their team.
Gehring struggled so much that she skipped the season's fourth World Cup and reunited with Chun, who was coaching in Washington, D.C. She said her time with him helped her find her confidence, her focus and her drive.
He now coaches Gehring and Jessica Smith, as well as four other U.S. athletes as Salt Lake International. They train at Steiner Ice Rink in downtown Salt Lake City.

About Johanna Maheshvari Mosca
Johanna Maheshvari Mosca, PhD
I am 67 years young, a retired NYC high school English teacher, with a PHD from NYU in Writing Research & Theory and 2 NYC high school principal's licenses. I've been leading Sedona Spirit Yoga & Hiking Retreats for 18 years, recently featured #1 in Sunset Magazine's 'Ten Inspirational Retreats.' I am author of two books about living the principles of yoga, e.g. compassion, truthfulness, cleanliness, contentment. The Lodge is decorated with Egyptian art, Hindu gods and goddesses, and landscaped with a medicine wheel and furnished relaxation areas. I rented the premises to retreat leader, Roy Holman, for 11 guests, a reference you may contact, who is renting again October 2012. I keep the Lodge immaculately clean with all new mattresses, luxury bedding and very good energy. I prepare the rooms to accommodate renters and inform you of area restaurants, hiking trails and attractions. I ask the nature of the group and address any special needs renters might have to make your stay rewarding.

The college years offer an opportunity for new experiences, personal freedom, and identity development; however, this period is also noted for the emergence of risky health behaviors that place college students at risk for health problems. Affiliation with on-campus organizations such as fraternities or sororities may increase a students' risk given the rituals and socially endorsed behaviors associated with Greek organizations. In this study, we examined alcohol and drug use, smoking, sexual behavior, eating, physical activity, and sleeping in 1,595 college students (n = 265 Greek members, n = 1,330 non-Greek members). Results show Greek members engaged in more risky health behaviors (e.g., alcohol use, cigarette smoking, sexual partners, and sex under the influence of alcohol or drugs) than non-Greek members. Greek and non-Greek members did not differ in condom use, unprotected sex, eating, and physical activity behaviors. Implications for prevention and intervention strategies among Greek members are discussed.

I understand that nobody wants to take the blame for anything. I get that. I do. But there comes a time socially when we have to accept that most of the world is just pointing fingers in an attempt to avoid addressing how to fix whatever the problem may be. Who wants to be culpable for the state of the world? Gods leave their worshipers in a lurch when the shit hits the fan. Deities don't want to be accountable, so why should men and women? Governments bark, cry, and tattletale like children on a global playground. You won't find any responsibility taken there.
That leaves our world in a predicament, huh?
Never fear. I'll take the blame for everything. Sexism, Racism, War, Greed, Anger, Lust … Ebola, Cancer, Crack, Fracking, Religion, Climate Change, Poverty, and more. You name it. If you can point a finger and argue over who should shoulder the weight go ahead and Blame Nick. We even started a hashtag #BlameNick so you can easily let the world know on social media who is to blame for all the shit that's going wrong from the economy to the Kardashians.
Because the world will remember us however it sees fit. Cowards are awarded praise and statues while the real heroes watch their own blood leak into the soil of ignominy and anonymity.
The catch? Why would I be willing to go down as the man who was responsible for such catastrophes and atrocities?
Easy. The second you #BlameNick there are no more excuses. You have your scapegoat. Your culprit and monster, so the world can stop bitching, whining, and crying and begin to do something about it.

The legend of Cynder, Chapter 8Chapter 8SethThe temple buzzed with excitement, mainly from Volteer who didn't allow anyone else time to speak. Spyro however, was not participating in the introductions until Fern spoke directly to him.'Purple dragon, it is an honour to meet the dragon who killed Malafor!''It is an honour to meet you as well. My name is Spyro.''Hey! What about me! I helped too you know!' interrupted Sparx.'Oh, I'm sorry
Sparx was it?''You know my name!'With that Sparx flew off to gloat about his new found fame.'Not really,' whispered Fern when Sparx was out of earshot, 'my sister overheard Ekosell and Cynder talking about him.'Spyro laughed.'I suppose it was you I was giving Cynder's message to?'Spyro cheered up in an instant.'She asked me to tell you that she has found a quicker way to find Hydros, and she'll be back soon.'Before Spyro had the chance to respond, Atmos said, 'forgive me Fern for overhearing your discussion, but how is Cynder getting there?''Ha-ha, don't be

Terrence Howard's love for acting came naturally, through summers spent with his grandmother, New York stage actress Minnie Gentry. He later began his acting career on the The Cosby Show after being discovered on a New York City street by a casting director. Soon he followed with several notable TV appearances on shows such as Living Single, NYPD Blue, and Soul Food. He became well-known for his lead role in the UPN TV series Sparks.
Howard broke onto the big screen with his riveting performance in Mr. Holland's Opus. Howard's most memorable performances to date are of scene-stealing characters such as Cowboy in the Hughes brother's film Dead Presidents and as Quentin in Malcolm D. Lee's independent film The Best Man. The latter earned him a NAACP Image Award, Independent Spirit Award nomination, and a Chicago Film Critics Award nomination.
A self-taught musician, Howard plays both the piano and the guitar. You can see Terrence display his musical talents opposite Jamie Foxx in the film Ray. A promising songwriter, Howard's lyrics are soon to be acquired by some of today's biggest artists.
In addition to his musical talents, Howard also has a strong interest in science.… Expand

Rutledge, Pennsy...
I saw this sweet black linen at the local fabric shoppe in our town in China and knew I had to make something out of it! I have a divine little trench pattern and thought it would be perfect for this stiffish black linen. I changed my mind as soon as the idea for this one shouldered lipstick red button backed LBD idea came to me. I made a pattern out of an old 80's computer print sheet first (which my husband couldn't stand because of the absurd colors and shapes on it!), but I worked on this dress over about a day and a half and was so excited by it that I'm not sure I remembered to eat or drink… I Love the way it turned out. I took these pictures to show my family but intended to take more artistic looking ones upon return to the states. I didn't count on being busy until my baby bump makes this dress look… well, a bit more maternity! (Ironically the front dart makes for a very easy maternity shift dress!) Perhaps once I get my figure back I'll take nicer pictures but now, from a place far far away from my Chinese living room, these pictures look PERFECT. Seeing that piece of home, that room so familiar brings me so much joy and homesickness at the same time!
Black stiff Linen, Red lipstick colored shiny round buttons… (I bought enough that I made two into earrings to wear with it at my brother in law's rehearsal dinner!)

I recently made this dress (my first Burda dress!) from October 2009 pattern #119. The pattern is very similar to a sleeveless version of October 2012 pattern #108. I made the pattern using a wool blend. To add a little more shape to my figure and also offset the heavy wool fabric, I created an extra partial pleat over the existing pleats from the bust upwards and the waist downwards. I also lined the whole dress to make the wool more wearable.
(The funny skeleton pin is because I am going to a Day of the Dead Festival.)

I'm working on TeXmaker for the first time and I don't understand how to leave a blanket line inside a centered enviroment. If I write
1 Hello,\\
3 world!
Also in the .dvi file there is a blank line between Hello and world. But the code
1 \begin{center}
2 Hello,\\
4 world!
5 \end{center}
just ignores the third line and gives in output:
centered, of course. How can I put a blank line between the two words? I know I can simply close the center tag when I need a blank line, but having another alternative would be great :)

Synopsis: It's the summer of 1984 – Margaret Thatcher is in power and the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) is on strike. At the Gay Pride March in London, a group of gay and lesbian activists decides to raise money to support the families of the striking miners, and later sets off in a mini bus headed for a mining village in deepest Wales to make their donation in person. And so begins the extraordinary story of two seemingly alien communities who form a surprising and ultimately triumphant partnership. [Synopsis courtesy of Director's Fortnight]

It's fall, and for many people, it's the most frightful time of the year.
It is the season when foul-smelling, hairy creatures invade homes, looking for food and warmth. They live in your attic and crawlspace and only come out at night. They eat almost anything, and even gnaw through walls. They move so fast they appear as a blur. They can jump many times their own height, and can scale walls and other vertical surfaces with lightning speed.
The presence of autumn arriving is an easy one to spot with brown, yellow and red leaves covering residential lawns, and once green trees becoming increasingly bare.
While the fallen foliage may be a festive sight, lawn care professionals recommend homeowners remove the leaves for the betterment of their lawns.
Shane Meeks, manager of lawn care at Bardstown Enterprises and son of owner, Anthony Meeks, said lawn preparations in the falls can keep your yard looking good in the spring.
Fall has arrived, and with it the 2013 edition of the ColorFall program promoting travel to peak foliage viewing areas and exciting autumn events around Kentucky. ColorFall is designed to aid public enjoyment and media coverage of autumn in the Bluegrass State.
Coordinated by the Kentucky Department of Travel and Tourism and the Kentucky Department of Parks, ColorFall is now in its 28th year. ColorFall features a website, www. kentuckytourism.com/
How about this weather?
I am anticipating a very good orchid season coming up because our temperatures have been so mild, especially with night time temperatures dipping into the 50s already. These cool nights are a piece of the puzzle in order to get some plants to bloom indoors in the winter.
There are some perennials that I can't live without because of their fabulous late summer and fall performance. Plant them in your garden now because you will overlook them at garden centers come spring.
My mixed perennial beds look the best this time of the year (barring any unpleasant summer drought). The black-eyed Susan's, Russian sage, and various species of Aster, Salvia and Nepeta are prolific, but they are only mediocre anchor plants compared to some of the other species that come on this time of year.
The other evening I was sitting outside under a tree babysitting our hens. We have only been letting them out in the evening under supervision until we can get a handle on some fox problems. (We are working on it!)
As I sat and read, a sense of calm came over me and I was surprised to realize that it was triggered by a little flock of nasty starlings. Starlings start to flock up this time of year and I guess there was just some sort of Pavlovian response that said, "Yes, fall is just around the corner. The starlings say so."
This past weekend, we tackled some vegetable garden clean up. The hail storm a few weeks back destroyed most of what was left; subsequent wind and rain finished off the battered remains.
Summertime is the time when crabgrass rears its ugly head and begins to creep through our fescue lawns, sneak into our cultivated beds and, when we're not looking, reseeds itself to ensure the continuation of the species. Does it sound daunting? Well, I wouldn't look at it that way entirely; let's just say it is a challenge to keep it under control.

After five years of working at an orthopedic surgeon's office, Christopher Heberly felt inhibited by the constraints of traditional medicine. That's when he began studying Thai massage. Christopher was deeply moved by the acupressure, energy healing, and yoga techniques he gleaned and journeyed to Thailand to further his education with Thai master Pichest Boonthumme. Now Christopher is freshly back from overseas and employs these healing techniques each day in the comfort of his own Nashville-based studio.
The relaxation technicians at Urban Oasis pamper life vessels with citrusy body treatments, age-battling facials, sleekifying waxes, shoe-enhancing pedicures, and more. Face owners can rejuvenate dull visages with a brightening peel that does a thorough sweep of skin corpses with lactic acid, as hyaluronic acid sings a soothing, hydrating lullaby ($60). During the Healing Touch manicure, scraggly digits take a dip in an exfoliating bath before an extremity expert treats hands to a citrus-infused cream, hot towels, and a stress-busting massage ($38). After a cuticle trimming and nail shaping, keratin squares get carefully coated in OPI or Essie polish. Shaggy foreheads can pair an artfully arched brow-shaping ($25) with a brow tint ($25), and hirsute lower halves can benefit from a stomach ($15) and half-leg wax ($45). Four massages retire muscle tension and bodily tension to a trophy case at a local high school ($80+).
Dharma Massage & Bodywork provides traditional massages designed to help the healing process and temple bodywork to aid with chronic aches, post-accident trauma, or simple relaxation. In the comfort of a private room, clients can ask for light to medium strokes to soothe everyday stress or more-focused deep-tissue kneads to ease aches. Dharma also specializes in bodywork for expectant mothers, birthing partners, and toddlers prone to tricycle knee.
Lilac Healing Center is staffed by a diverse group of trained therapists who improve their clients' physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Founded by licensed massage therapist Kathryn McDaniel, Lilac Healing Center slowly grew out of a series of other businesses—what began simply in 2002 as a place where people went to get a massage became a destination for all kinds of healing services. Today, the staffers not only perform bodywork and therapeutic yodeling, but they also provide acupuncture, energy work, and custom vitamin programs. In addition, the center hosts a multitude of both private and group yoga, Pilates, and meditation classes.

Do you agree with the phrase "beauty is on the inside?" Why or why not?
Yes, in more ways than one. First, the human body was created to be a fine-tuned machine. The muscles lengthen and shorten to provide movement. Everything knows what it is supposed to do. Second, I believe that you need to be joyful and grateful for the blessings in your life, as well as the struggles that have brought you to where you are now. A beautiful heart is the difference between being joyful and grateful, or miserable and bitter.
Do you use any products or brands you're particularly proud of? What makes them uniquely effective?
Biotone massage gel. I have used it for Swedish and therapeutic work and it hasn't let me down yet. It provides the glide I like for Swedish yet isn't too slick for the more precise therapeutic work. As I usually tend to have clients like a mix of both, it has worked out very nicely.
What's the most common beauty mistake you see people make? What would you recommend they do instead?
Having the "The World Revolves Around Me" attitude. I don't care how beautiful you are, that is ugly. It causes you to do things that are rude, and makes you obnoxious because you feel everyone around you needs to know when you are unhappy--which is usually most of the time.
Gordon Robison's small-town upbringing in Tennessee, along with his passion for preparing young women for Teen and Miss USA pageants, led him to create Gordon & Co. Salon, a spa that features high-end treatments in an inclusive, down-home atmosphere. In addition to treating scalps with Pravana coloring products and Aquage styling balms, Gordon's affable staffers perform body treatments and massages. Scrubs incorporate coffee or honey and almond scents, and spray tans leave skin looking sun-kissed without the painful radioactive lip marks. The massage therapists draw from a number of therapeutic modalities, targeting knotted muscles with gentle kneading or improving sluggish circulation and lymphatic flow with energy work.
