Colored Belts and Breaking Up Neutrals
42 comments:
- Mrs.M in MIWednesday, September 19, 2012
I have pink, orange, lime green, and blue belts, but I most often wear the pink and orange ones. My clothes are mostly neutral, blue, and green so I find the pink and orange pop.ReplyDelete
I think I need some more Target belts too. Like you it is still super hot here, so I am wearing more "fall" colors in the hopes that I can entice fall to come this way!ReplyDelete
I have green and pink skinny belts. I have the same belt from Target as yours but it's more neutral (a mix of pale purple and taupe) and I like to wear it with bright tees, skirts or colored pants.ReplyDelete
I have a white one and a lime green one. I haven't worn the lime green one yet, but I'm hoping to get my hands on a pink one and a red one.ReplyDelete
That belt is addictive... I have cobalt, turquoise, fuchsia, citron, tan, cream, and grey... and they're awesome.ReplyDelete
I love it when you keep your looks simple with a little zing. Gooood lookin'.
I really love this outfit. I think I have a problem...I want to wear lace in every outfit. I just bought a lace shirt and I've worn it like three times in the past four days. hehe! Maybe I'll buy a new colored belt just to break up my outfits a little bit. I love the pop of green in your's!ReplyDelete

It goes against the grain for me, too, to not have a pop of color somewhere in my outfit. You inspire me with you simple yet chic outfits. Love!ReplyDelete
The Mrs. and The Momma
Kate, I think you should know it is indeed YOUR fault that I am getting addicted to these belts. I don't know whether to thank you or to groan at my new addiction haha. I tried to resist for a while, but you make them look so dang good.ReplyDelete
Very cute outfit! I tend to wear a lot of neutrals with bright pops of color in my accessories, but I tend toward the all-dark versions. I like the all-light neutrals you styled here!ReplyDelete
Steeeeep into my weeeeb.ReplyDelete
And I don't know if I should cackle or apologize profusely.
I love the little pop of green in this outfit, so cute! I too share your passion for belting...I might have to check out those from Target! Also, your lace top is sooo pretty, I love lace!ReplyDelete
LOVEE the pop of green. it really is the perfect way to break it up, you are totally right!ReplyDelete
Your lace shirt is so pretty. And I love the bit of green! I'll have to remember that trick.ReplyDelete
I agree, the outfit wouldn't be the same without the pop of color on the belt. Btw, thanks for the link to the video. I just bought my first pair of colored jeans(non-black, white or gray) and it's the same color as in the video.ReplyDelete

Great outfit! I have never tried colored belts because they've always seemed like a waste of money to me - why spent $15 on a plastic turquoise belt you can wear with a few things when you can get a decent brown leather belt for just a little more? But I think my wardrobe is boring because of this! Do you have any advice for budgeting your clothes money? When to get a basic and when to spring for a "pop" of something more unique? I'd love to have more statement pieces, but always feel like I need an update to something practical. I would love to hear any insight you have into balancing your wardrobe between basics and statement pieces.ReplyDelete
I totally agree with you, and I have the same issue. I'd balk at a $13 belt from Target... but H&M has them for $6 right now... and THAT I can do! :)ReplyDelete
- Crystal KnottWednesday, September 19, 2012
I'm not a huge belt person until recently, and I did add a few colored belts to my closet. A turquoises one and an orange one. This is definatly a good tip for adding a pop of color to neutrals.ReplyDelete
Jessie, I'll see if I can articulate the balance between the two in a future post. Great idea! To be honest, I think I'm still learning that because like you and Jenni have said, it's hard for me to spend $15 on a belt too. But since I already have a brown leather belt, it's not like a decision to buy a green one has to compete with that. What a green belt would compete with in my shopping budget is a brightly printed top! But as I learn to use belts more and more (not just for function but for changing up outfits) I'm starting to see that a colored belt actually gives me more outfit options than a new shirt! Kinda crazy for me to believe that still, cuz I always want new shirts haha. However, like Jessie said, it's a balance between basics and unique. If I have my basics covered, then a green belt multiplies options. But if I have too many crazy unique pieces, a green belt might do nothing for my wardrobe because it may not match with anything. I feel you ladies, though! This colored belt thing has been a slow revelation for me.ReplyDelete
Jessie, great thoughts! I responded to you and Jenni below.ReplyDelete
- Kacie EllisWednesday, September 19, 2012
I need to go see if my target has that belt! Love it!ReplyDelete
I love colored belts... I have so many that it's kind of a problem. And by problem I mean, it's awesome. :)ReplyDelete
xo, Yi-chia
Always Maylee
I love this. Your belt really is the star. You have fun textures and just a hint of color impact with your belt. lovely!ReplyDelete
Any time I can acquire any kind of bright color, I tend to jump on it. I think this means I need to run off to Target.ReplyDelete
Avon (Mark) has a set for $18 - Orange, Black and Snake PrintReplyDelete
I'm digging colored skinny belts also, You never know when they will come in handy
- HappinessatmidlifeWednesday, September 19, 2012
I am a big fan of belts (I don't even want to admit how many I own). I find that I always go to my pink or leopard printed belt.ReplyDelete
Pretty! I have a shirt similar to this! Will definitely be trying this!ReplyDelete
I reallllly want to get a yellow belt! I borrowed one from a friend and loved it! Right now I have light blue, light purple, light green, pink suede, gold, silver...Love my belts! :) I'd also love some of fall-ish colors since mine seem to be more spring-y. We'll see.ReplyDelete
This top is so pretty! I love wearing all neutrals too...I'd be perfectly happy with all black, white, cream, and gray!ReplyDelete
Great look, love how the green belt and lace work together. Sometimes the outfits that seem like they are simple look the best!ReplyDelete

so cuuuteee :)ReplyDelete
I'm pretty sure you've worn this lace shirt on your blog before, but i just now noticed it because I was recently looking for a lace shirt and this is exactly what I picture it would look like. AND NOW I WANT IT. Did you buy it recently? Have you ever thought of selling it, preferably to a certain blogger friend (ME)???? Looks like the Express one you linked to is sold out, but the Madewell one looks promising... if only I was rich.ReplyDelete
Love this look! And you're right, just adding a belt can make a huge difference to an outfit.ReplyDelete
I can't wait until fall hits, we're still in the 80s as well. *sigh*
I got it over a year ago, and I've worn this so much that it's dying (and because I've kind of abused it.) I've seen similar ones at Forever 21 still. There are also a few very similar ones at Dorothy Perkins, but I don't know how much shipping will be since it's a UK brand.ReplyDelete

i just wanted to tell you that i really love your blog. it got me thinking about all the things in my closet that are just sitting there... i have mixed it up and discovered tons more outfits than i ever had. i also bought 3 pairs of colored jeans at old navy, (which are on sale right now for $19!) and it has massively improved my wardrobe. just wanted to say thanks! i don't feel like a momma who let herself go anymore. -savannahReplyDelete
I really like your wedges - and they are from Target? Awesome!ReplyDelete
This is awesome, Savannah! I especially love your last sentence. :)ReplyDelete

Audrey, I'm new to your blog and you have inspired me beyond measure! Just since I began reading I've purchased skinny jeans, belts, and metallic strappy shoes! (pretty impressive since I was coming from boot cut jeans, fitted tee's and flip flops) Thank you!!! And in response to Jessie and Jenni's comments (if I may)..have you considered shopping at thrift stores for belts? Just today I bought a bright pink skinny belt, a white braided belt, a turquoise with some sequins fabric belt, and a stretchy yellow fat belt! All for $1 each at a local church owned thrift store! And last week I bought a medium thick black braided belt at a yard sale for 50 cents. :)ReplyDelete

i like how your lace top is casual rather than being traditional form fit lace shirt. it goes very well with the shorts.ReplyDelete

I am a huge fan of this relaxed color pallet, especially since it still has color ! I am just as excited as you are for fall, I'm already wearing cardigans and thanking God my classrooms are always just cold enough :)ReplyDelete
I always love reading through your blog, because inspiration just comes to me at random when I am getting dressed, and I will remember something I read a few weeks ago or a picture I saw and integrate it into my wardrobe. It's so helpful ! I haven't even gone shopping in a month or so, because I just reinvent from what I have. I'm learning that no matter what facet of life, it is just so helpful when others share about what they have learned and it helps me relate to it and do things, like dressing awesome everyday. Seriously, I will come out of my room and my friends are like "Have you been reading that blog again, you look so cute!" haha Thanks Audrey
Haha this is awesome, Michelle! Thanks for sharing and taking the time to write. Super encouraging!ReplyDelete

THREE motorcyclists escaped without serious injuries in a head-on crash in Belmont.
It is thought two bikes were travelling in the opposite direction when when they crashed into each other at about 6.15pm on Sunday at the top of Rivington Moor near Sheephouse Lane.
Both bikes, one of which had a pillion passenger, are thought to have stayed upright in the incident and no-one was seriously hurt, but one of the riders injured his right foot and police are now trying to trace the other rider.
It is thought the rider's foot injured by the foot peg of the other bike, which continued towards Rivington.
PC Dean Hodgeson from said: "I am looking to speak to the driver of the motorcycle that carried on towards Rivington after the incident.
"I am also keen to speak to the driver of a silver Volkswagen vehicle, possibly a Touareg, who may have witnessed in incident.
"If this is you or you have any information, please get in contact with us."
The bike was a cruiser type vehicle with light coloured bodywork, and was being ridden by a rider and pillion passenger. Both were in dark clothes and wearing full face helmets.
Anyone with information can call police on 101 quoting reference number 1212 of 6 July 2014.

The St. Charles Parish School Board will consider revising its previously adopted redistricting plan when it meets tonight. The board adopted the plan, which must be reworked every 10 years based on the U.S. Census, in January.
But Kevin Belanger, chief executive officer of the South Central Planning and Development Commission, said there was a problem with the adopted plan because two precincts, one on the east bank and one on the west bank, were divided into three School Board districts. However, precincts are only allowed to be divided into two districts.
Belanger said it's a problem he expected to be fixed through Senate Bill 99 introduced during the past legislative session that allows local governing authorities to consolidate precincts. However attempts to get the change were unsuccessful.
"As part of that legislation we tried to add an amendment that allowed a parish and school board to join together so you can clean up voting precinct issues before submitting your plan," he said during School Board committee meetings on Monday.
Because the change was not made he said the School Board had three options: to adopt an amended plan, to file a lawsuit against the Louisiana secretary of state's office to get the law changed or to put off adopting a plan until after next year's legislative session to see if the law could be changed at that time.
Belanger also presented the board with three alternatives to revise its original plan if board members chose the first option.
"As a consultant to you, I would suggest picking one of the plans on each side (of the river)," he said. "The changes are very small compared to what we began with."
Board members agreed that revising the plan was the best solution and tonight will introduce an amended redistricting plan that makes small changes to the original plan. The changes would affect about 40 residents on the west bank who would be shifted into District 1.
On the east bank, District 5 would be changed to once again include Bar None Ranch subdivision, which was taken out of the district in the first adopted plan.
After introducing the amended plan, the board will have to conduct a public hearing on it, likely in June, before it can be considered for adoption.
Also on tonight's agenda is the adoption of a revised budget for the fiscal year that ends June 30. The revised budget shows an increase in revenues over the previous budget of nearly $4.7 million and a decrease in expenditures of about $556,000.
Board members will also consider for first reading an amendment to its policy for public participation at meetings. The change would delete a provision in the policy that allows a member of the public to informally address the board without providing prior notice at the discretion of the president at the end of the meeting.
The board meets at 6:30 p.m. at the School Board office, 13855 River Road, Luling.

I understand the idea of being aggressive. Of going after the competition, particularly at a time when it's not crazy to call Apple vulnerable. I use that word "relative" to Tim Cook's comparatively smooth first year on the job and Steve Jobs's near flawless second tenure at the helm. Actions speak louder than words, especially when you operate from a position of weakness. If you're doing it right, others are going to start talking trash for you. Ultimately, you will have customers and stockholders defend you till the death like the current crop of loyal Apple fanboys. AIDA. ABC. Attention. Interest. Decision. Action. Always. Be. Closing. That's what Ballmer needs to be doing now, but not with the media and a public that stopped caring about Microsoft a long time ago. Shoppers -- from corporations and the enterprise -- are walking into the store. They're not doing it to get out of the rain. Close them! Focus on bringing Microsoft back to the level of respectability it enjoyed with Gates as leader. Take action by sacrificing Steve Sinofsky if you have to, getting on the phone, swallowing your pride, offering Scott Forstall whatever he wants to become CEO. then step into the background as vice chairman or something. That would take more of a shot at, start more of a war with and send a louder message to Apple than all of the babbling Ballmer has done over the last five years.

SEATTLE (CBS/AP) Taryn Fairbanks, a language arts teacher accused of having sex with a Seattle high school student, pleaded not guilty Wednesday to a charge of sexual misconduct with a minor.
King County prosecutors say Fairbanks had sex with a 17-year-old Garfield High School student on June 23 during a party at his home when his parents were out of town.
Spokesman Dan Donohoe says the 33-year-old faced the charge of first-degree sexual misconduct with a minor on July 13.
Fairbanks taught language arts at Garfield High School and advised the school newspaper. She was hired in 2006.
Police detectives investigating school rumors questioned Fairbanks July 6.
She said she had an alcohol relapse at the time of the party. She said she had dropped by the party to drop off supplies for a school newspaper retreat.
The Seattle Times also reports Fairbanks married a man last year who graduated from Kentlake High School in 2003 when she was a teacher there.
Police say there were no allegations of misconduct at the school in Kent.
Fairbanks has since resigned from her job at Garfield High School and moved to Las Vegas, according to The Seattle Times.
The newspaper reports Fairbanks and her husband are now getting divorced.
If convicted, she could face six-to-12 months in jail.

Billy Joel Shows Alec Baldwin How Different His Greatest Hits Could Have Sounded In New Interview
In a fantastically entertaining and revealing hour-long interview on WNYC's 'Here's the Thing,' a candid Billy Joel tells — and more importantly, shows — Alec Baldwin just how radically different some of his best-known songs could have sounded if not for the intervention of producer Phil Ramone.
The big-screen and '30 Rock' star turned podcaster spends much of the show taking the Piano Man chronologically through his career, talking about the personal and career changes that inspired and affected each of Joel's albums.
At about 42 minutes in, the impact producer Ramone had on hit records ranging from 1977's 'The Stranger' to 1986's 'The Bridge' is discussed. "When he was a kid, he was a child prodigy on the violin. He knew music… he had years and years in the trenches," Joel explains. "Paul Simon used him as an engineer, and I said, 'I wanna work with this guy, because he looks like he knows what he's doing, he knows how to get good sound.'"
Obviously, the combination clicked. "When he came in — boom! We knew we had a professional guy, it was like working with another great musician. He knows how to play the studio like we know how to play our instruments," Joel declares. "Everything changed, the band just rose to the occasion."
Sitting at the piano, he then goes on to explain exactly how Ramone re-worked some songs, playing and beat-boxing to demonstrate the alternate (and ultimately rejected) original rhythms. "When we did 'Just the Way You Are' originally, the drummer was playing it like a cha-cha. Phil told him, play a backwards samba — and it worked!"
It turns out the world has drummer Liberty DeVitto to thank for saving us from a reggae version of one of Joel's biggest hits. "I came up with the idea of playing 'Only the Good Die Young' as a reggae (and this performance, at 44:00 in, you absolutely must hear.) Liberty throws the sticks at me, (saying) 'The closest you've been to Jamaica is Queens, what are you doing? I'm not playing this!' So Phil came up with this shuffle against straight fours."
The entire podcast can be heard below. With all due respect to whatever plans you, your boss or your family had in mind for the next hour of your day, we highly suggest you listen to this instead. Then track down the time Joel brought his piano into the Howard Stern show for an equally entertaining, music-assisted interview.

Working with an Adoption Service Provider
Selecting an Adoption Service Provider
Finding an adoption service provider to assist you through the complexities of adopting abroad is the first critical step to complete an intercountry adoption. Finding a provider that you feel comfortable with, that shares your values, and that has a work style that suits you can make the process less burdensome.
Prospective adoptive parents pursuing an adoption from a Hague Convention country generally must work with an accredited or approved adoption service provider.
In addition, starting July 14, 2014, under the Universal Accreditation Act of 2012 ("UAA"), prospective adoptive parents pursuing an intercountry adoption, regardless of the child's country of origin, generally must work with an accredited or approved adoption service provider, unless, before July 13, 2013, the prospective adoptive parents:
- filed a Form I-600 petition or a Form I-600A application, or
- initiated the adoption with the foreign competent authority, as determined by the Department of State. (See information on Hague Transition Cases.)
Please see our FAQs: Guidance on Whether a Primary Provider is Required in Every Convention Case and on The Universal Accreditation Act of 2012.
Not every adoption service provider has an adoption program in every country of origin. Until July 14, 2014, where you plan to adopt will have an impact on whether an adoption service provider is accredited or approved. Intercountry adoptions are divided into two distinct processes under U.S. law "the Convention process" and "the orphan process".
Important: An unaccredited or unapproved provider or facilitator is prohibited from providing adoption services to prospective adoptive parents in connection with a intercountry adoption unless the service provider is supervised by an accredited or approved adoption service provider or is acting as an exempted provider. Section 404 of the Intercountry Adoption Act (IAA) imposes criminal penalties on adoption service providers who willfully and knowingly provide any of the six adoption services (enumerated below) in a Convention adoption case without being accredited, approved, supervised, or exempted. Agencies or persons that continue to provide adoption services without accreditation, supervision, or exemption, are subject to the civil and criminal penalties in the IAA. Civil penalties include fines up to $100,000 and criminal penalties include fines up to $250,000 or imprisonment up to 5 years or both.
As you consider specific adoption service providers, you can obtain information about the provider from public sources. Every adoption service provider must be licensed by a state authority. You can check with the state licensing authority to see if there is a history of complaints against the agency and, if so, whether any complaints remain unresolved. Your local Better Business Bureau is another source of information about the adoption service provider's reputation for conducting business ethically. The Better Business Bureau can also tell you if there are unresolved complaints against a specific adoption service provider. Checking sources like the state licensing authority and the Better Business Bureau is part of doing your "due diligence" before selecting a provider and will contribute to your peace of mind and confidence in the provider. If the adoption service provider is accredited to provide adoption services in Hague Adoption Convention countries, you may also wish to check the accrediting entity's public list of substantiated complaints and adverse actions applied to adoption service providers.
Some prospective adoptive parents find it helpful to talk to other families that adopted abroad about which adoption service provider they selected and why. Questions to keep in mind include:
- How well did the adoption service provider communicate with the family about their case?
- Was the provider helpful, knowledgeable, and willing to share information?
- Did the adoption service provider provide enough pre-adoption training and preparation so that the family knew what to expect and how to deal with the adoption proceeding abroad and with caring for the child after adoption?
Agency Operations
As you get closer to selecting an adoption service provider, the agency or professional should be willing to disclose specific information about its operations and procedures in writing. Under the accreditation regulations, in Convention cases and cases subject to the UAA, accredited and approved providers disclose in writing to the general public upon request and to prospective clients upon initial contact, the following:
- Adoption service policies and practices, including general eligibility criteria and fees;
- The supervised providers with whom the prospective client(s) can expect to work in the United States and in the child's country origin and the usual costs associated with their services; and
- A sample written adoption services contract substantially like the one that the prospective client(s) will be expected to sign should they proceed.
In addition, in Convention cases and cases subject to the UAA, accredited or approved adoption service providers disclose to client(s) and prospective client(s) that the following information is available upon request and make such information available when requested:
- The number of its adoption placements per year for the prior three calendar years, and the number and percentage of those placements that remain intact, were disrupted, or were dissolved at the time the information is provided;
- The number of parents who apply to adopt on a yearly basis, based on data for the prior three calendar years; and
- The number of children eligible for adoption and awaiting an adoptive placement referral via the agency or person.
You may also consider asking for a list of families who have adopted through the provider and who have agreed to act as references for the adoption service provider.
Adoption Services
We refer to the core elements of an intercountry adoption as the "adoption services." In every Convention case, there must be an accredited or approved primary provider to ensure that each of the six named adoption services is provided in accordance with the Convention, the Intercountry Adoption Act, the Universal Accreditation Act, and their implementing regulations. Your adoption service provider may be the primary provider in the case, or, if a supervised provider, your provider would act under the supervision of the primary provider in your case.
Beginning in July 14, 2014, every intercountry adoption case, including orphan cases, will need an accredited or approved primary provider to ensure the adoption services are delivered appropriately.
The six adoption services are:
- Identifying a child for adoption and arranging an adoption;
- Securing the necessary consent for termination of parental rights and to adoption;
- Performing a home study and reporting on prospective adoptive parents or a background study and report on a child;
- Making non-judicial determinations of a child's best interests and of the appropriateness of an adoptive placement;
- Monitoring a case after a child has been placed with prospective adoptive parents until final adoption; and
- Assuming custody of a child and providing childcare or any other social service, when necessary, because of a disruption pending alternative placement.
Fee Disclosure
Before providing any adoption service to prospective adoptive parent(s), the agency or person provides information about the total fees and estimated expenses and an explanation of the conditions under which such may be charged, waived, reduced or refunded, and how they must be paid. In addition, in Convention cases and cases subject to the UAA, accredited or approved providers itemize and disclose in writing the following information for each separate category of fees and estimated expenses that the prospective adoptive parent(s) will be charged:
- Home study
- The expected total fees and estimated expenses for home study preparation and approval;
- Whether the home study is prepared directly by adoption provider itself, or prepared by a supervised provider, exempted provider, or approved person and subsequently approved by the accredited provider;
- Adoption expenses in the United States
- The expected total fee and estimated expenses for all adoption services other than the home study that will be provided in the United States, including personnel costs, administrative, overhead, operational costs, training and education, communications and publications costs, and any other costs related to providing adoption services in the United States;
- Foreign country program expenses
- The expected total fees and estimated expenses for all adoption services that will be provided in the child's Convention country. This category includes costs for personnel, administrative overhead, training, education, legal services, and communications, and any other costs related to providing adoption services in the child's Convention country;
- Care of the child
- The expected total fees and estimated expenses charged to prospective adoptive parent(s) for the care of the child in the country of origin prior to adoption, including costs for food, clothing, shelter, and medical care; foster care services; orphanage care; and any other services provided directly to the child;
- Translation and document expenses
- The expected total fees and estimated expenses relating to costs for obtaining, translating, or copying records or documents required to complete the adoption, costs for the child's court documents, passport, adoption certificate, and other documents related to the adoption, and costs for notarizations and certifications;
- Whether the prospective adoptive parents will be expected to pay such costs directly or to third parties in the United States or in the child's Convention country, or through the agency or person;
- Contributions
- Any fixed contribution amount or percentage that the prospective adoptive parent(s) will be expected or required to make to child protection or child welfare service programs in the child's Convention country or in the United States, along with an explanation of the intended use of the contribution and the manner in which the transaction will be recorded and accounted for; and
- Post-placement and post-adoption reports
- The expected total fees and estimated expenses for any post-placement of post-adoption reports that the adoption service provider or parent(s) must prepare in light of any requirements of the expected country of origin.
- Third party fees
- The expected total fees and estimated expenses for services directly paid to a third party, which include, but are not limited to, fees to competent authorities for services rendered or Central Authority processing fees; and
- Travel and accommodation expenses
- The expected total fees and estimated expenses for any travel, transportation, and accommodation services arranged by the adoption service provider for the prospective adoptive parent(s).
The provider specifies in the adoption services contract when and how funds advanced to cover fees or expenses will be refunded if adoption services are not provided. Also, when the provider uses part of the fees to provide special services, such as cultural programs for adoptee(s), scholarships, or other services, it discloses this policy to the prospective adoptive parent(s) before providing any adoption services and gives the prospective adoptive parent(s) a general description of the programs supported by such funds.
Independent Adoptions
Some families seek to save adoption services costs by completing an "independent adoption" in which they attempt to complete all of the adoption services in the case by themselves or with the help of an unaccredited facilitator. Independent adoptions are not possible in Convention cases and will no longer be possible in "orphan" cases subject to the UAA beginning July 14, 2014. The accreditation regulations require the use of an accredited or approved primary provider in each Convention case and case subject to the UAA.
Also, keep in mind that some U.S. states and some countries prohibit independent adoptions.
If you are working with an accredited or approved adoption service provider and think your provider's conduct may violate Convention principles, or that the provider is not otherwise in substantial compliance with the accreditation standards, you may file the complaint through the Department of State's internet-based Hague Complaint Registry. Depending upon the type of complaint, the Council on Accreditation (COA) may require you to first submit the complaint in writing directly to your accredited adoption service provider for resolution.
The Hague Complaint Registry pertains directly to accredited and approved adoption service providers. Both the U.S. Department of State and the accrediting entity responsible for the ongoing monitoring and oversight of accredited/approved adoption service providers have access to complaints submitted to the Hague Complaint Registry.
If you are working with an adoption service provider that is not accredited or approved in a non-Convention case before July 14, 2014, or if your complaint is about something other than a violation of Convention principles or standards, you may also submit a complaint to our office at the email address email@example.com. In addition, we recommend contacting the state licensing authority of the state in which your adoption service provider is licensed and the local Better Business Bureau. Contact information for state licensing authorities is available from Child Welfare Information Gateway.
The U.S. Department of State encourages prospective adoptive parent(s) to report to the Department any adoption service provider that offers adoption in a Convention adoption – or beginning July 14, 2014 in any intercountry adoption case subject to the Universal Accreditation Act – without being accredited or approved, supervised or exempt. Please refer to the Hague Complaint Registry to report the misconduct.
Help Prevent Adoption Fraud
How to minimize the risk of experiencing an adoption scam: Use only reputable agencies, attorneys, and facilitators in your adoption case. As your case progresses and you ask questions of your provider, be wary if the answers to your questions appear to be contradictory, vague, or unrealistic. The Consular Section in the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in the country where you plan to adopt can provide information concerning local adoption processes. See Country Information.

Exclusive travel deals, direct to your inbox.
According to the New York Times travel section, the months to book flights to Australia is April through August because the U.S. airlines offer the cheapest prices to fly.
In the ensuing months, the equinox will be slowly changing to welcome summer. Although it does not officially began until June, our summer is directly opposite to Australia. You have to remember that when we have our spring and summer, Australia has their winter, and when we have our winter, they have their summer.
So, what is an Australian winter like? Where are the best places to go for their winter?
April through September are the best winter months to travel when visiting the northern parts of Austrailia during the winter as the temperature is 8 degrees celcius or 46 degrees fahrenheit during the night, and 16 degrees celsius or 60 degrees fahrenheit during the day. Cold enough to keep the snow, and nice enough to not be too chilly.
Their summers are nice--80-to 86 degrees fahrenheit, but depending on where you go, such as the desert, you will encounter very hot weather, up to 100 degrees fahrenheit.
You can refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_of_Australia for more information about the weather in Australia.
Where to visit
The best places for a great ski season is in the mountains of New South Wales and Northeastern Victoria. Tasmania also gets a good amount of snow. Book your airline tickets for July through August as this is the peak of their winter. You will want to go to the Kosciuszko National Park in New South Wales for their ski resorts--Charlottes Pass, Thredbo, and Blue Cow. If you plan of visiting Victoria--Mt Bogong, Fall's Creek, Mt Hotham are the ski resorts there.
Sydney is also a great place to visit during the winter season. You can visit the Opera House, watch the whales as they travel north, walking tours, Yulefest in the Blue Mountains, and many other activities.
Cost of renting ski equipment
Don't bother bringing your skis. Not only would you have to pay an exhorbant fee for oversized baggage, you don't really want to chance getting them broken. You can bring goggles, ski clothes, helmet, and boots to cut down on cost. Current prices I have found are skis, boots, and poles for adults, for 7 days, will be approximately 105 AUS dollars. The current exchange for U.S. currency to the Australian dollar is not a big difference--1.03 to 1.00. That is an expensive rental.
If you book in April, you will get the best airline tickets through air-savings.com. If you plan on any tours while there, they can package it, and get you a really great discount to enjoy your vacation.

SKS Price
I found a deal online for an SKS, unfired and still in packing grease. It also comes with an oiler, ammo pouch, and stripper clips. It costs $170, and has a $40 shipping charge so $210 when all is said and done. Is this a reasonable price?
Got a link. :D
Buy it before it gets away,great price.
Since the guys on here are so gracious, I do happen to have a link
Simonov SKS-1945 Semi Auto Rifle 7.62x39mm
They also have a deal for $320 plus another $45 shipping for the same SKS, all the same stuff with it, and 1,000 rounds of 7.62x39mm ammo. It seems the site has a LOT of inventory available, so I should get the money before they run out, unless all of you make a run on them :eek:
Sounds like a good deal to me.
Check the location
That is a great deal, but you cannot import guns from Winnipeg, Manitoba without a ton of hassles, if at all. if you are in Canada,you may be Good to Go
Thats a excellent deal in this day and age.
Wow, down here its at least $400 for a beat up piece of crap sks that has been chopped up to be made "safe". I'd jump on that if I could....
If you live in the great white north that's great. Otherwise check out gunbroker. :cool:
sks price
Wow thats some great deals guys. I'm unfortunately living in the great northeast, but when it comes to purchasing an sks it's not so great. I paid $400 for my russian with a bad trigger, and i was happy. I say you can't go wrong for that $. And the other with 1000 rds. thats a great deal.

Intense explosions have erupted along Syria's border with Turkey as fighting rages around the embattled city of Aleppo.
The blasts are coming from near the rebel-held town of Azaz, across the border from the Turkish town of Kilis. The area is a key route for refugees and rebels heading to fight in Aleppo, some 30 miles (50 kilometers) away.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says a rebel tank is shelling a military airport near Aleppo, among the first reported use of heavy weapons captured by the rebels.
The Observatory says seven people, mostly women and children, were killed when their village of Abiyeen outside Aleppo was shelled early Thursday morning.
Fighting over Aleppo, Syria's main commercial hub has lasted nearly two weeks.

The network provider has teamed up with digital agency Isobar to invite 100 developers to take part in a 36-hour challenge to design the most creative NFC app, as part of its Isobar Create London event, running on 24 and 25 March, in East London's 'Tech City'.
Developers will pitch their apps to a panel consisting of judges from O2, BlackBerry and Isobar, and the best ones will win funding and marketing support to launch their apps.
Funding will be provided by BlueVia, O2's global development platform.
Winners will also be able to promote their app idea at an NFC-enabled outdoor site in central London, provided by Clear Channel.
NFC enables smartphone users to make payments and exchange information with a touch of their device.
While NFC is not yet mainstream in the UK, the past year has brought some major announcements from brands looking to exploit it.
These include Orange and Barclaycard's tie-up launch the first mobile payments system in the UK, using NFC technology, and Nokia's NFC Hub which enables brands to use the technology in their ad campaigns.

The pursuit of another top rated defensive back class for Auburn continues for the 2012 class, with the Tigers' most recent offer going out to another Georgia stand out.
Carrollton (Ga.) three-star corner Jonathan Jones holds close to 15 offers now, with his most recent being an offer he was anxiously awaiting.
"I had camped at Auburn the week before and did well, and then they talked to my coach shortly after and offered," Jones said. "It's an offer I really wanted, and when it came I was excited. I felt like they really wanted me and I was someone they looked at hard.
"I could see myself playing there."
Auburn joined the likes of Stanford, Georgia Tech, and a host of other schools that Jones said are recruiting him equally hard.
The 5-foot-10, 170-pound prospect said Auburn defensive backs coaches Phillip Lolley and Tommy Thigpen are recruiting him to Auburn, and he appreciates their low key approach with him early on.
"They are really down to earth coaches," Jones said.
Jones attended Auburn's first summer mini camp on June 12th, and credited that performance as a deciding factor in landing an offer.
"I think I did really well and impressed the coaches enough for them to offer me," said Jones.
Prior to the camp, Jones had visited Auburn twice before, taking in a game and a spring practice. Jones said his comfort level with Auburn is high after a third visit this summer.
"I like the atmosphere, it's a great college experience, the campus is nice, and it seems like it would be a great place to be," Jones said.
Jones said he remains heavily interested in Auburn, and will likely place the Tigers in his top five when he does get things narrowed down. Jones' plan is to have a top five before his senior season starts, and make a decision during the season.
Jones joins Auburn commit Joshua Holsey and Geno Smith as top Auburn defensive back targets from the state of Georgia. Jones also said he recently talked to another Auburn commit, JaQuay Williams.
Jones said both Holsey and Williams are giving him advice and trying to help him make his decision.
"They are trying to help me along and help me make my decision and follow them to Auburn," Jones said.
Jones plans for the rest of the summer is to visit Tennessee and Mississippi State, and may visit Georgia Tech as well. Jones also plans to visit Auburn again in July.

Sony to host PS4 kenyote at Tokyo Game Show next month
Sony Computer Entertainment will reportedly host a PlayStation 4 keynote at the Tokyo Game Show next month on September 19.
According to Game Jouhou, the keynote is tentatively titled "The World PlayStation 4 Creates." It will be hosted by SCE president and group CEO Andrew House, Senior VP Masayasu Ito, and Sony Worldwide president Shuhei Yoshida.
Sony used last year's show to unveil the newer, smaller PlayStation 3, but this year the company will likely use the show to firm up final release plans for the PS4. Tokyo Game Show runs from September 19 through September 22, but prior to the event Sony will also be attending the European-based Gamescom this month where it's believed they will focus on the PlayStation 4's game lineup. Gamescom takes place in Cologne, Germany and will run from August 21 through August 25, though Sony's press briefing is scheduled for August 20.

The Note's Must-Reads are a round-up of today's political headlines and stories from ABC News and the top U.S. newspapers. Posted Monday through Friday right here at www.abcnews.com
Compiled by ABC News' Jayce Henderson, Jordan Mazza and Janine Elliot
RUSSIA/UKRAINE ABC News' Adam Teicholz: " Samantha Power: Putin's Actions Suggest He Wants Eastern Ukraine " In a wide-ranging, exclusive interview with George Stephanopoulos this morning on "This Week," U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power had harsh words for Russian President Vladimir Putin in the wake of pro-Russian soldiers' recent takeovers of government buildings in several eastern Ukrainian cities. Asked by Stephanopoulos if the U.S. believes that Putin "wants" Eastern Ukraine, Power responded, "I think the actions that he is undertaking certainly give credence to that idea. But I will say in the conversations that we have, of course, they keep insisting, 'No, that's not what we want, that's not what we want.' But everything they're doing suggests the opposite." LINK
Wall Street Journal's James Marson: " Ukraine Orders Troops East as Pro-Russian Forces Extend Grip" Pro-Russian activists and militants extended their grip across eastern Ukraine, prompting the government to mobilize the military as it struggled to prevent a replay of Russia's takeover of Crimea. The U.S. and its Western allies said some of the well-equipped gunmen who participated in seizing police stations and other buildings in several cities and towns over the weekend appeared to be Russian special forces in unmarked uniforms. Such troops moved into Crimea shortly before the region voted to secede from Ukraine and was annexed by Moscow last month. LINK
USA Today's David Jackson: " Obama Aide: Russia may be involved in Ukraine violence" A top aide to President Obama says there are signs of Russia involvement in new violence in eastern Ukraine. Samantha Power, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, told ABC's This Week that gun battles between Ukraine troops and Russian protesters resemble events that preceded Russia's annexation of Crimea. "It's professional, it's coordinated - there's nothing grass roots-seeming about it," Power said. "So certainly it bears the tell-tale signs of Moscow's involvement." LINK
IRAN ABC News' Freda Kahen-Kashi: " Sen. Rand Paul weighs containment of Iran Nuclear threat" Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., told ABC News' Jonathan Karl he believes "all options should be on the table" to prevent a nuclear Iran, but the U.S. should not immediately accept the idea of war when the threat of a nuclear Iran could be contained as it has been with other nuclear powers. "I've repeatedly voted for sanctions against Iran. And I think all options should be on the table to prevent them from having nuclear weapons," Paul said on "This Week" Sunday. But he said those who oppose the idea of containment - or living with an Iran with nuclear weapons - ignore that such an outcome has been necessary in the past. LINK
Wall Street Journal's Jay Solomon: " Iran's Leaders Still Touting Nuclear Progress" A senior cleric delivering a nationally televised sermon urged a crowd that included former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the head of Iran's nuclear energy organization to observe sexual piety, aid the poor and support Iran's development of nuclear power. "This technology is progressing our nation," Ayatollah Imami Kashani said at weekly Friday prayers at the University of Tehran. "Our enemies are against such progress." The sermon, like other speeches and television appearances by senior leaders recently, offered few signs the government is conditioning Iranians for any major limitations on nuclear work. LINK
KANSAS SHOOTING The Hill's Kyle Balluck: " Obama: Kansas shootings 'horrific'" President Obama late Sunday offered condolences to families who lost loved ones in shootings in suburban Kansas City.Three people died at a Jewish community center and an assisted living facility, according to multiple reports. "This afternoon we heard reports of a horrific shooting in Overland Park, Kansas," Obama said in a statement. "Michelle and I offer our thoughts and prayers to the families and friends who lost a loved one and everyone affected by this tragedy." LINK
HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES SECRETARY KATHLEEN SEBELIUS The Washington Times' Tom Howell Jr.: " HHS nominee Burwell faces tight scrutiny" Lawmakers dug in Sunday for a proxy war over the new health care law, now that President Obama has selected a well-known manager to replace Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and lead his signature program into a new era. Mr. Obama says his budget chief, Sylvia Mathews Burwell, is a "proven manager" who will lead HHS with distinction and build on whatever momentum the White House gained by signing up 7.5 million Americans in private health coverage from October to March. LINK
The New York Daily News' Adam Edelman: " Former HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius says she was 'flat-out wrong' to think Obamacare site was ready to go in October" Former Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, who stepped down last week following the clunky rollout of Obamacare, said Sunday she was "flat-out wrong" to think that the government health care site was ready for launch last October. "The launch of the website was terribly flawed, terribly difficult," Sebelius said on NBC's "Meet the Press." "Could we have used more time and testing? You bet." LINK
The Los Angeles Times' David Savage: " Sebelius praises Obamacare, concedes rollout was botched" Outgoing Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said Sunday that the health insurance exchanges that are now up and running across the country have given uninsured Americans a true choice of insurance plans with price comparisons. "People have competitive choices and real information for the first time ever in this insurance market," Sebelius said in an interview on NBC's "Meet The Press." LINK
BOSTON BOMBING MARATHON ANNIVERSARY ABC News' Benjamin Bell: " Gov. Deval Patrick: 'Very Thorough' Planning to Protect Boston Marathon" "I think we are very well prepared and people should come out and enjoy themselves," Patrick said this morning on "This Week." "I think we have struck an appropriate balance between having more law enforcement presence, but also assuring that it continues to be a family outing and a civic ritual," he told ABC's George Stephanopoulos. "The planning has been very, very thorough. The teams are well coordinated. … We had a sort of table-top exercise, a practice session, a full day, a couple of weeks ago with there were 450 people in the room from every state, federal and local agency and municipal leadership, as well, for each of the cities and towns along the route," he continued. LINK
Rep VANCE McALLISTER The New York Times' Trip Gabriel: " Amid Charges of Hypocrisy, Louisiana Lawmaker Faces Calls to Step Down " As she handed out garbage bags on Saturday as part of an anti-litter drive, Patsy Edmondson drew a parallel to Louisiana's history of tawdry politics. "If we grow up in litter, we accept it," she said. LINK
DEMOCRATS The Washington Post's Wesley Lowery: "Democrats settle on fairness issues hoping to avoid a repeat of 2010 midterm disaster" On the defensive about their prospects in the midterm elections this fall, congressional Democrats have spent all of April savaging the Republican budget proposal, decrying the Koch brothers and championing a series of bills meant to ingratiate themselves to struggling middle-class voters. In promoting legislation that would extend unemployment benefits, increase the minimum wage and promote equal pay for women, the Democrats have declared themselves the party that will ensure a "fair shot" for all. LINK
OTHER Politico's Edward-Isaac Dovere: " How the Obama peace process went 'poof'" Over chicken wings back at the hotel after the official dinner the king of the Netherlands hosted at the start of their trip to Europe last month, President Barack Obama, Secretary of State John Kerry and national security adviser Susan Rice tried to figure out how to save the peace process. They met again that Friday en route to Riyadh on Air Force One, looking for an answer. LINK

Nearly 30 million Americans, mostly female, suffer with hypothyroidism and nearly half of those go undiagnosed. Shockingly, 90% of adult hypothyroid cases is due to Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, an autoimmune condition in which cells of the thyroid are slowly destroyed by a misguided attack from the body's own immune system. During the early phases of Hashimoto's Thyroiditis destruction of thyroid cells causes the release of excessive amounts of T4 leading to a sort of transient hyperthyroidism. Eventually, too few cells remain to produce adequate T4 leading to the common hypothyroidism.
Prominent causes for this autoimmune hypothyroid condition are the increased exposure to toxic metals and toxic chemicals in our environment leading to altered immune function, chronic systemic infections and altered human gut flora. Ah yes, the Gut Flora!! A healthy intestinal lining allows only beneficial nutrients into the body for optimal use and acts as a barrier system to keep unhealthy toxic substances (bacteria & yeasts + their wastes, undigested proteins, fats) from passing through. Amazingly, 70% of our total immune system resides in the human gut or G.I. tract. This "Gut" immune system is known as "gut associated lymphoid tissue" or "GALT". When health flourishes, over one hundred trillion beneficial bacteria reside in our gut lining and the GALT works like a charm protecting us and keeping us vital!!
Consequently, a poor diet combined with environmental toxins, medications and antibiotics, the health of the gut bacteria gets severely compromised leading to intestinal wall damage, inflammation and permeability (Leaky Gut). With Leaky Gut, unwanted molecules enter the bloodstream activating food allergy responses. This in turn elevates the immune system to worrisome levels leading to "auto-immune" states like Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. Gluten has now been shown to be a primary factor in the development of Hashimoto's disease. A gluten free diet is paramount for all Hashimoto's cases or Destruction of the thyroid gland will occur!!
The human gut actually assists in the conversion of T4 into active T3 thyroid hormone!! Dysbiosis or poorly balanced gut bacteria reduces conversion of active T3 thyroid hormone and as T3 levels reduce, cortisol (adrenal stress hormone) increases conversion of T4 into reverse T3!! This is very bad – and it all emanates from the GUT!!
Addressing the underlying gut imbalance is the critical first step in treating hypothyroidism!! This goes contrary to most medical approaches in which a drug regime is the "cure". Clean up the gut first by removing all gluten, sugar, animal/saturated fats and simple carbohydrates and adding elevated amounts of high quality fibers and phytonutrient rich vegetable sources. Antimicrobial herbs that will remove unwanted intestinal microbes such as Berberines, Turmeric, Ginger, Caprylic Acid, Oregon Grape Seed, Oregano Oil and Olive Leaf extracts combined with potent, viable probiotics plus the Ayurvedic herbs Coleus Forskohlii to increase thyroid gland hormone production and fat metabolism as well as Guggulsterones (Guggul) to help the body with conversion rates of T4 into active T3.
So, as one can see from this anatomical disconnect, most everything is connected physiologically. The Gut, the Thyroid and the Immune System intimately relate. This delicate balance must be accounted for in all dis-ease manifestations as the more we learn about functional medicine, the more we realize that our interconnectedness influences profoundly how well we function, infirm and ultimately, fully heal!

Hi, you graciously retouched a photo of my sister, Peggy Marie Podboy, several months ago and did a beautiful job. I was sad to see that it's gone and the old original is back up on her memorial page. Do you know what happened?

RE: Uncle Joe
I also look like Ferddinand. My children look like me, so it goes on. I never met him. He was dead before I was Born. My Grandfather Lou Meyer and his wife Emma seem to of estranged themselves from their brothers and sisters. So doing the family research and then finding distant cousins fills in the gap. I knew nothing about my fathers family when I started. I was shocked to find a large part of the Meyer group all together in Norman and in Missouri all living close buy each other.
My uncle Frank did quite a bit of research. He was retired from the Air Force and flew around the World doing research.

RE: Uncle Joe
Yes, I believe he is related to me. My uncle Frank Meyer was always talking about the Newman family. He suddenly died and I really didnt become interested in this until after he died.
I remember being confused about Otto Meyer in the family group sheet. Do you know who his father is?
I live on Maui in Hawaii. I have 5 children, 4 boys and 1 girl with 12 grandchildren.
My father William Andrew Meyer left when I was about 8 years old and I had very little contact with the Meyer family from then on until I was grown. Doing family research has been very interesting to see the closeness of some of the Meyer family.
Thank you for contacting me.
Where is Otto Meyer buried? I would like to look at his memorial.

When a celebrity performs, they like their backstage space set up a certain way, but some celebrities go cray cray with their demands. Check out some of the crazier ones I found:
Lady Gaga: Peanut butter with flax seed that contain no more than 4g of sugar, and a mannequin with pink puffy pubic hair.
Mariah Carey: 20 white kittens and 100 doves.
Jordin Sparks: A small jar of kosher dill pickle spears.
Madonna: A 200-person entourage that includes 30 bodyguards, personal chefs, a yoga instructor, an acupuncturist and an on-site dry cleaner.
Beyonce: Juicy baked chicken, HEAVILY seasoned with fresh garlic, season salt, black pepper, and Cayenne pepper.
Katy Perry: Chauffeurs are not allowed to start a conversation with Perry and are not to stare at the backseat through the rearview mirror.
Nicki Minaj: Buckets of spicy fried chicken – no thighs, lot of wings – a large cheese platter.
Kanye West: Any chauffeur who drives him must wear 100% cotton clothes, "no man-made fibers."
Christina Aguilera: Small bottle of "Flintstones" Vitamins with Extra Vitamin C.
and last but certainly not least…
Marilyn Manson: A bald, toothless hooker.

The Ritz-Carlton Highlands at Lake Tahoe is taking a little vacation before summer vacation.
Officials for the luxury hotel that opened in December say they are shutting down from April 19 to May 10 to get ready for the summer season.
Ritz-Carlton spokesman Steven Holt says the temporary closure has nothing to do with the permanent closure of the Ritz-Carlton at Lake Las Vegas planned in May. He says many luxury ski resorts in the West shut down briefly in the spring.


text: This caught my eye because a similar thing happened at a family diner near my uni. And well anyone who's read my posts on the issue of racism in the US knows how common it is for coloured people to be escorted out of elitist establishments. Its surprising that this would happen post Obama, but then again, I guess its not. Comments?

Hemingway, 50 years later
Almost half a century after Ernest Hemingway's death, a book takes a scholarly look at his fiction, and others make him a fictional character.
Art Matters: Hemingway, Craft, and the Creation of the Modern Short Story (Louisiana State University Press) by Robert Paul Lamb looks at Hemingway's literary forebears and charts the evolution of his unique style.
One True Sentence (Minotaur) by Craig McDonald is the fourth mystery featuring writer-amateur detective Hector Lassiter and a cast of real characters — in this case, denizens of Paris in the 1920s, including Gertrude Stein, Man Ray and Hemingway, who helps Hector investigate the murders of literary magazine editors.
The Paris Wife (Ballantine) by Paula McLain is a fictional version of the courtship, marriage and breakup of Hemingway and his first wife, Hadley Richardson, who narrates the story, set in the City of Light in the early 1920s.
Colette Bancroft, Times book editor
