We. Made. It.
Indianpolis is home, and with this move, I decided I was taking full 100% authority on how our apartment looks and feels. Today I wanted to share our journey of apartments that we've had (terribly dark and dreary, terribly decorated, and terribly loud), as well as a couple bloggers / Instagrams / internet havens that have helped me with styling our current apartment. Someday, I'm going to do an apartment tour where I can show you exactly how everything ties together, but right now- we have a 10 month old dog, who's cage takes up the living room, and it's all types of not cute. The rest of the home though, is paradise. Our apartment wasn't always "paradise" though…
First, there was the "first apartment"
Our Lincoln apartment was a mess. From the bedroom "art" that was painted by us, to the hot mess of a gallery wall, to the cheapest furniture ever- it was a big old ball of yuck. I can't believe that I posted pictures of it on Facebook, thinking about how "proud" I was. Even though the inside of our apartment was a decor nightmare, the place itself was amazing. We were the youngest couple in this complex, and everyone was so nice. There was a gym, a pool, community area, and the staff was fantastic. If you're looking to EVER live on the south side of Lincoln, Nebraska, give Summit Falls a chance. Oh man, I loved these apartments.
Then, there was the "this is the best apartment ever"
I don't know why we loved this apartment so much when we moved in, but we were sure it was going to be the best apartment that we could ever sign a lease on. Holy guacamole, we were wrong. This apartment building was poorly made, poorly decorated, and filled with the terrible times in our apartment. We brought the black furniture with from Lincoln, and with the poor lighting it made for a terrible dreary apartment at all times. Also, Dylan and I were still in the battle of "hanging up everything" (like that hangry sign), and "let Jen decorate the apartment"… This place was not cute, not spacious and not a fun place to live. Side note, this place was called "Bricktowne Apartments- Ankeny", and if you read the Google reviews they are totally true. I used to write blogs about my neighbors and how loud they were. I knew the girl downstairs' boyfriend drama, and I'd know when we brought the "side dude" over. That place is a mess.
Then, there was the "let's not get time to decorate"
I don't have any decor pictures for this apartment, because to be completely honest- we were there for less than six months, and we didn't even have time to buy a rug. There were good and bad things to living at Jackson Crossing, and it's a place I'd definitely recommend if you're looking for Des Moines living. The fact that they had a gym, a dog park on property, a Starbucks downstairs and the fact that it was new was a huge plus for us. The only things that we didn't like, which we had no control over, and neither did the apartment- was the street it was located on. Indianola Ave is a pretty busy street going in and out of downtown Des Moines. Loud motorcycles, lots of traffic, and emergency vehicles were constantly on the road. Now, we were the closest building to the street, and on the street facing side, so it makes total sense. I talked to my neighbor across the hall and she said she never heard the road, so it's totally all in the location. Other than that, this place was clean, the whole "washer/dryer ROOM" was nice, because we had STORAGE FOR DAYS. I loved it here, I can't complain.
Now, there's "home"
There were three things that I focused on when moving in here. 1. I wanted it to be decorated by me. 2. I wanted it to feel clean. 3. I wanted it to feel like home. You'll see below, I utilized a lot of boho and crisp wood inspirations, but the reality was this: our home was dark wood cabinets, dark wood floors, and cream colored walls. Not my first choice, but it's what we got. I had to find a way to get my style, my inspirations, and Dylan's shit into one home. (Side note, we have a "pantry" in our unit, which is a closet with about 6 shelves. The top shelf has my christmas tree, and a cake stand. The other five? Dylan's "stuff". He's got so much stuff!!!) We have grey couches, so I had to play with dark wood and grey. I found that creams and blues are a great accent to this, threw some blue rugs in the kitchen, blue pillows on the couches (and white), cream blanket on the couch, and after a mental breakdown- I settled on a cream rug. We finally got a grey bed frame to match the dresser, and by having grey also in the bedroom, with a cream chair and carpet, it really ties in the couches and colors from the living room. We love it here. I'm currently testing out this $3.00 garland from Target to see if that mirror needs a wreath during Christmas season, what do you think?
and home, is thanks to these "inspirations"
Here are my Top 3 Inspirations that I channeled when making our home a "home".
CK Design Co. is a Des Moines based haven. Holy mother of pearl, how I never walked in here when I lived there, I'll never know. I stalk their Instagram daily, because let's be honest- being vintage, boho, cognac and green, and unique is totally in right now and I'm just waiting to find a piece that screams "Salisbury's" so I can jump on a purchase. By the way, even though they're location is Des Moines, they ship. You can own these things, but you better go fast because they sell so quickly. (Duh, look at her Insta, you'll see why!) Here's Courtney's website, she's the face (and the name) behind the shop!
Then, there's Sarah Belle. Which isn't really a surprise since I've been on that Youtube Train since like 2013 with home girl. She started a blog, which I'll link HERE, and her Instagram screams bohemian paradise. I mean, just check out this wall that her and her boyfriend DIY wallpapered. Are. You. Kidding. Me? Amazing. Dylan said no on Sunday when I politely asked to wallpaper our apartment… but like looooook at this.
Lastly is Nina and Cecelia. It's disgusting how obsessed I am with them. They are a little less boho and more clean crisp woods, whites, and a whole bunch of natural lighting. Just an overall gorgeous house. They also live in the Des Moines area, and I found them on accident. Then, I saw them at a 4th of July parade and was too afraid to say anything so I'm entirely lame. If one day, I have enough money to have a giant, gorgeous, well decorated house- it's got to be something like Nina's. (Cecelia's is being built, so both families are currently living in this one) Here's their blog: CLICK HERE

Isn't it gorgeous?! 😍😍 I'll have a blog post tomorrow of all the details! Can't wait to share with you all!!

The Ford Flex is not a joke, but going by what the Wall Street Journal has said, it might as well be. The new car, which goes on sale this year, is one of them there wagons, a type of car last seen on the Nickelodeon show Pete & Pete. Needless to say, no American male in 2008 wants to be seen driving a wagon, especially when the wagon's gas mileage isn't too hot. It gets 24 miles per gallon, which is sorta OK, sure, but if Ford expects working class dudes to drive the Flex, it definitely needs to bump that number up.
Apparently the Flex was conceived and designed before the current fuel price crisis hit, so Ford was caught unawares… with a horrible looking "cross-over."
The moral is, if Detroit still wants to produce 7+ seat cars, it has to take current fuel prices into account.

Lee Fried, Daily Kaizen, Real and Transparent
A year after the usual "happy talk" meeting, this organization's leadership had changed. In a recent meeting...Individuals and teams spent time in front of their peers showing their "dirty laundry" and discussing some of the bigger problems that we still don't know how to solve. Leaders were no longer pretending to have all the answers and often talked about the PDCA process and learning. There was a tension I could feel in the room that I think was healthy. A tension created from a culture that is in transition and opposing mental models at play. (Note from Karen: I've been dipping into Peter Senge's Fifth Discipline lately and this is what he describes as a "learning organization.")

JNN 06 Apr 2015 Beirut : Fighters from the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement have pounded a base run by the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) terrorist group in Syria's mountainous Qalamoun region along the border with neighboring Lebanon.
A Lebanese security source, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Beirut-based English-language newspaper The Daily Star that Hezbollah fighters lobbed three rockets at the base in Khachaat area of the region, which lies about 60 kilometers (40 miles) northeast of the Syrian capital city of Damascus, on Friday and destroyed it.
The source, however, did not provide any information about the number of the casualties and the type of damage that Hezbollah inflicted upon the terrorists.
The al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra Front (Jabhat al-Nusra) and the ISIL Takfiri terrorists overran the eastern Lebanese town of Arsal, situated 124 kilometers (77 miles) northeast of the capital, Beirut, last August, killing and capturing more than three dozen soldiers and security forces. They have executed at least three of the hostages.
ISIL Takfiri terrorists demand the release of a number of militants in Lebanese jails in exchange for the captive Lebanese soldiers and policemen.
Over the past months, Lebanon has been suffering from terrorist attacks by al-Qaeda-affiliated Terrorists as well as random rocket attacks, which are viewed as a spillover of the conflict in Syria.
Syria has been grappling with a deadly crisis since March 2011. The violence fueled by Takfiri groups has so far claimed the lives of over 215,000 people, according to reports.

White Boy Rick is the heroic vigilante film we didn't know we needed, audiences discovered at last night's New York City premiere hosted by Columbia Pictures and The Cinema Society. Set in 1980s Detroit, the film portrays the true story of Richard Wershe Jr., whose Robin Hood rise haphazardly makes him the FBI's youngest informant, at 14 years old.
It's an extraordinary story but not unfamiliar to some, even for the cast. Jonathan Majors, who played the kingpin of the Curry gang that embraced Rick as their own, elaborates. "To me it didn't seem like an unfamiliar story. It was, however, unfamiliar to put into the world. I mean here we are at the Paris Theater and Central Park is right there! . . . This is a story about a socioeconomic group that is completely marginalized and so that made me want to get involved, to advocate for people I recognize and that I know and in some cases I come from."
One of the most entrancing things to see in the film was the father-son duo played by Matthew McConaughey and breakout star Richie Merritt. "When I saw the screenplay and it had the father-and-son relationship, that's when I made a personal connection to it," director Yann Demange said. Despite the brutal (and at some moments hard to watch) crime sprees punctuating the film, there was a tenderness to McConaughey and Merritt's chemistry. Merritt, in a jet-black embroidered Saint Laurent top, talked about his first film experience. "It was amazing . . . I've never had this opportunity before and I just tried to do my best." Merritt talked about how much fun he had celebrating his 16th birthday on set with the cast and crew, rivaling any sweet 16 fantasy. "They got me three cakes and a lot of wings! I love wings!" Another gut-wrenching performance was made by British actress Bel Powley, who played Rick's sister. Her hair-raising scenes caused the audience to go from laughing at her wisecracks to gasping at the ravages of her addiction.
After the film, guests headed to The Skylark where they sipped on Wild Turkey Longbranch cocktails aptly named The Informant and Detroit Dream, gazing out at a Gotham-like fog 30 floors above Times Square. Crispy duck wontons, seared tuna bites, and mini mahi-mahi tacos were passed around the party where Ice-T and his wife Coco Austin weaved in and out of the crowd. McConaughey, whose affectionate parental onscreen performance is already getting Oscar buzz, held court in a windowed corner. How does he expect people to feel after watching this film? McConaughey had a sobering answer: "You know who's got a great answer to that? I'm going to steal it—young Richie Merritt, who plays White Boy Rick. What he got from this movie is that life is fragile. So your loved ones, think about the last time you talked to them. If something were to happen, they were gone or you were gone tomorrow—did you say enough, did you say the right thing, did you say goodbye the right way?"
White Boy Rick opens in theaters on Friday, September 14.

A painting event at Archer Vineyard! A special place that's a true inspiration for painting, and adding their great wine and wonderful people is the bonus.
About the location and their history:
In 1989 Don and Grace Archer planted a vineyard on the southern slope of Parrett Mountain. At that time the Oregon wine industry was still young, a little-known collection of wine enthusiasts making a go of it in the Willamette Valley.
In 2005 Saj and Pauline Jivanjee purchased the 8-acre property and brought with them a new vision. With the help of family and close friends, they converted the old Archer barn into a cutting-edge winery and tasting room and set up a business committed to enriching the local community.
Today Archer Vineyard handcrafts a small production of estate-grown Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. Guests gather around creative events that unlock the pleasures of wine—including music, art, and enjoyment of the natural environment.
Archer Vineyard Address: 32230 NE Old Parrett Mountain Rd, Newberg, OR 97132

Full-Time Woman, Part-Time Career: Launching a Flexible Business That Fits Your Life, Feeds Your Family, and Fuels Your Brain
As an independent woman who has considered on more than one occasion the seemingly pie-in-the-sky idea of starting my own business, I tore through Karen Steede Terry's Full Time Woman, Part Time Career with as much élan as I tear through anything chocolate. I hoped to uncover a treasure-trove of secrets that could set me on the path to a great new career beginning. I was not disappointed, but after reading, I am acutely aware of the energy and persistence necessary to start up a small business. So, although the book has not quite persuaded me fleet-footed toward self-employed stardom, it is most certainly a resource that any goal-oriented, dedicated woman can turn to for solid advice.
If any woman is capable of addressing the nuts and bolts of starting up and running a small-business whilst balancing family obligations, it is Terry. Her credentials boast her success in software instruction, as well as consultations to Fortune 500 companies and state agencies. But the real draw Terry offers is that any woman can be prosperous both professionally and personally if she is committed. Proof lies in the book's interspersed profiles of several women who have achieved their career goals through self-employment. These mini-biographies provide the reader both like-minded role models and practical business counsel. Jenny Harrison, a part time software and programming languages instructor, contributes valuable advice regarding individual endeavors into launching a business: "Don't work part time if you think it's going to be easy or that you're going to get rich. It's the flexibility you are gaining that's important."
It is this flexibility that Terry emphasizes throughout her book. The advantages a part time home business yields range from an increase in professional development opportunities, to writing off taxes for an office located in the home, to customized vacation time. The drawbacks of self-employment are to be seriously considered but fortunately, they are few, and Terry gives the reader a great deal of support with ideas for part time businesses – professional coaching, freelance writing, and public speaking among them – tips on how best to market oneself and maintain a professional image, and myriad resources to set the enthusiastic career woman on her way. To that end, the investment of time and energy put into starting one's own business is far outshined by the rewards of doing so. As Ms. Terry herself professes, "No guts, no glory!" No glory indeed.

Hollow, by Katie Paterson and Zeller & Moye
Artist Katie Paterson and architectural practice Zeller & Moye have created a public artwork in Bristol which marks the opening of a new building at the city's university.
The University of Bristol has opened a Life Sciences building near the Royal Fort Gardens, where the installation, entitled Hollow, is based.
The installation is a collection of different trees, incorporating more than 10,000 unique species from across the world.
The university says Hollow aims to "tell the history of the planet" through showing tree specimens "in microcosm".
Art production company Situations has helped to facilitate the project, and has created a digital platform called Treebank in association with BBC Four alongside it, which aims to encourage public participation in sharing ideas and memories on trees and the environment.

Authorities announced arson charges Friday as thousands of firefighters continued to battle multiple fires that were among nearly a dozen that burned more than 25,000 acres and destroyed dozens of structures in San Diego County, authorities said.
Four days after the 1,500-acre Bernardo Fire broke out southeast of Encinitas, firefighters had extinguished five separate fires despite being hampered by gusty winds, record-breaking heat and low relative humidity.
"Day 4 is a much better day than the preceding days we've seen, but the difficult days for San Diegans are not over," San Diego County Supervisor Dianne Jacob said at a 1:30 p.m. news conference.
Eleven fires have burned in the county, igniting 19,826 acres, she said.
One person was charged with arson in connection with a fire in Oceanside, authorities said at the news conference.
Alberto Serrato was seen adding brush to a fire in the San Luis River bed, according to the county District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis, who said he faced up to seven years in prison.
One person was found dead Thursday evening when firefighters checked on a hot spot in a transient camp in Carlsbad, where the Poinsettia Fire had destroyed eight single-family homes and an 18-unit apartment complex.
Multiple other residences and structures were damaged in Carlsbad, which saw $10 million to $15 million in damage, Jacob said.
The Poinsettia, Highway, Freeway and the River fires were 100 percent contained by Friday morning, according to Cal Fire. The five blazes had burned a total of 945 acres.
The largest of the active blazes, the Pulgas Fire, had charred 15,000 acres as of 9 p.m. and was 40 percent contained after starting on Camp Pendleton at 3:15 p.m. Thursday, the Marine Corps said on its website.
A new fire on base, the San Mateo Fire, was at 800 acres as of 9 p.m., sending black smoke into the air and prompting new evacuation orders, according to the base's Facebook page and its brush fire information site.
Evacuation orders remained in effect after about 1,000 were forced to flee Camps Las Pulgas, Margarita and Las Flores, and 32 Area, a Marine spokesman said. All nonessential personnel on the base were to be released as of noon due to the fires.
Jim Buchanan, a resident of Escondido, described his brush with the fast-moving Cocos Fire, which was burning south of San Marcos.
The fire "hit trees on the next ridge over, then that jumped and went to a brush pile in the middle of the green pasture there. It just exploded," Buchanan said. "It's real. … You just see this big orange ball coming at you. And I thought: My wife told me to be careful. It may be too late. I'm going to get out of here."
Although temperatures were expected to be in the 90s throughout much of the county, improved weather conditions may aid the firefight. A minor cooling trend was forecast to begin on Friday, with low clouds and fog moving inland from the coast throughout the weekend and bringing some drizzle to areas west of the mountains by Monday, according to the National Weather Service.
At the afternoon news conference, Cal Fire San Diego Deputy Chief Kelly Zombro said fire officials were worried that the Cocos Fire could push to the south, but said the wind was in firefighters' favor.
Evacuation orders remained in effect for most areas affected by the Cocos Fire.
I know everybody is very concerned about repopulating the areas that have been evacuated," said Sheriff Bill Gore. "There's a very specific protocol that we go through, especially when there's been structural damage like we had in San Marcos."
On Thursday evening, Escondido police announced the arrest of two teenagers on arson-related charges.
Isaiah Silva, 19, and an unidentified 17-year-old, both of Escondido, were taken into custody shortly after 7:25 p.m., according to the Escondido Police Department.
The pair were arrested after a witness reported seeing two people start a small brush fire and attempt to start another, the Police Department said in a news release. It was unclear if the suspects were involved in any of the larger fires in the area.
The city of San Diego issued a statement encouraging anyone with information regarding the fires to contact Crime Stoppers at 619-235-8477.
A multiagency arson task force — including the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department, Cal Fire, the San Diego Sheriff's Department, San Diego Police Department Oceanside Fire Department, ATF and FBI — was working to determine the cause of the fires in an ongoing investigation, according to the statement.
Dozens of homes and apartment buildings have burned since the fires began Tuesday.
Nearly 31 square miles of San Diego County had burned by Friday morning.
Pulgas Fire
This blaze exploded in size overnight after being reported late Thursday afternoon. By Friday evening, it was 15,000 acres and 40 percent contained, according to Cal Fire.
It was burning in rolling brush-covered hills off the 5 Freeway on Camp Pendleton near Las Pulgas Road (map), sending a towering cloud of smoke into the air. The area burning was in an empty "buffer zone" with few structures, Lt. Ryan Finnegan, a Marine spokesman for Camp Pendleton.
Along with the Tomahawk Fire, also burning on the Marine Corps base, the Pulgas Fire prompted evacuation orders and the release of nonessential base personnel. The Las Pulgas Gate into the base was closed.
No structures were damaged in the Pulgas Fire. One firefighter received injuries due to heat exhaustion, a base spokesman said.
Tomahawk Fire
The Tomahawk Fire was 6,500 acres and 65 percent contained on Friday.
It began Wednesday morning at the Naval Weapons Station in Fallbrook (map) and traveled into Camp Pendleton, according to Cal Fire.
Cocos Fire
Three homes were destroyed in the San Marcos area after the Cocos Fire broke out Wednesday afternoon (map).
By Friday morning, it had burned 3,018 acres and was 10 percent contained, according to Cal Fire.
Some 1,000 firefighters were working on the blaze, along with aerial support. Strong winds were fueling active burning Friday, according to Cal Fire.
Bernardo Fire
The first of the major fires that have plagued San Diego County this week, the Bernardo Fire broke out about 11 a.m. Tuesday southwest of the community of Rancho Bernardo (map).
The blaze was sparked during work on a construction site, a multiagency arson team announced.
After a trench was dug and then covered by a backhoe, the crew moved on to a new location and then noticed smoke and flames from the area where they had been working. Flames spread rapidly out of control, the San Diego City Metro Arson Strike Team announced Friday afternoon.
By Friday, the Bernardo Fire was 1,548 acres and 90 percent contained. Fifty structures remained threatened, according to Cal Fire.
About 210 fire personnel were working the fire Friday.

Well, if this post doesn't cause me to be cut of of my parent's will, then nothing will.
Sounds interesting? Well read on.
This weekend, Michelle came down to London to visit me. This was her first visit here since November- it seems an age since she was here. Also in London this weekend were my parents. They came down Friday teatime and stayed over before heading out to Switzerland on Monday on the Eurostar as part of my mother's 70th birthday present.
First thing is my parents have talked about going to Switzerland, but I've not heard them mention coming back! Should I be worried that the Dignitas clinic is in Switzerland? I am rather concerned that I have not been able to forge wills for them leaving everything to me and cutting out my siblings yet. Guess I will have to get on with that this week just in case. All those fraud cases I defended in the past will have been worth it given the skills I have learned from them.
Anyway, back on with the story…
I met my parents at Kings Cross, took them to their hotel in Russell Square, then whilst they went for something to eat, I sat alone and unfed in Kings Cross waiting for Michelle's delayed train to arrive. Once Michelle and I had said our hello's we went to The Betjeman Arms pub in St Pancras Station where we were to meet my parents. An interesting night was spent there! The pub serves a decent pint of real ale at a reasonable price (well by London standards), but if you want a glass of wine, you need a mortgage! Three glasses of wine cost £21!!!!!!!! A very expensive night was had.
By the end of the night, my father (aged 72) had been invited to join a 30 something banker and his blonde girlfriend in heading to a nightclub. Michelle had "scored" with the licensee of the wine bar in St Pancras Station. It would have been less surprising if the licensee had been male rather a rather drunken Irish female. Still you learn a lot about people the more you get to know them. I'll certainly have to keep an eye on Michelle with the ladies in future. (Perhaps it was the closing down sale she was interested in Michelle?).
At around 11:30 we left the bar, with my parents walking to their hotel and Michelle and I heading back to my house. [I should say that I had invited my parents to stay at my house, but they would rather stay in a hotel. Do I take it personally? Of course I do – see Jacqui, I told you that you were the favourite child not me]
Michelle and I arrived home around and had already received a text from my mother to say they were back at their hotel. As Michelle and I were having a late night omelette (Hello Gwen!) we received several texts from my father in Franglais and this revealing text from my father "Bar is jumping mother in bed". Now, what is one to make of that? I know as people get older and children leave home parents get more freedom to do things, but I'd never have expected to find my parents were swingers!
On Saturday, my parents came over to my house for lunch – and yes, I cooked it, not Michelle! To those who doubt me, I can cook. Whilst my parents were here, I tackled my father about his text. He claimed to understand what he's sent and confirmed it was true!
After lunch, we headed into Central London, but not before watching the first 30 minutes of the Newcastle v Arsenal game on the internet. By the time we left home, Newcastle were 0-4 down at home and heading for a humiliation.
On the tube train into London, there was an advert for product endorsed by Gok Wan . My father proceeded to announce he was "as straight as Gok Wan". Now, in the space of 15 or so hours, I'd learned my mother was being jumped by a whole bar full of people and my father was of a similar sexual persuasion to the currently most high profile male on British TV. This really causes one to question the whole of their upbringing and values!!!!!!!
Seventy five minutes after leaving home, Tom called me to tell me that Newcastle were no longer losing 0-4 at home to Arsenal. I asked how many it was , 7 or 8? Tom told me it was now 4-4. "F*cking Hell" was probably not appropriate language to say to my son or to use in front of my parents, but it was probably the only words to use to describe what the papers are calling the greatest Premiership comeback. Newcastle getting a draw with a late equaliser, S*nderland losing to a last minute goal and Orient getting a last minute equaliser away at Bournemouth makes for a good day football wise and calls for a celebration.
On the way to the pub, my father chatting to Michelle, kept calling her Louise, the name of my ex-wife. Thanks- dad, I'll get the blame for that later. After a few drinks in The Chandos Pub (which is one of my favourite bars upstairs in the theatre lounge) we headed over to Brick Lane for a curry.
If there was an Asian version of John Cleese in Fawlty Towers, then this is who we had serving us. After bringing the bottle of wine to the table and taking it away 3 times before opening it (no explanation given), he proceeded to clear away the starters, but expected us to use the dirty cutlery for the main course. A passable curry- too much sauce and not enough meat – was served. No option was given for us to order a desert before we were handed the bill, which purported to include the voluntary service charge as a compulsory item. I'm not sure what the service charge was for, there was not much service. This was deducted from the bill by Michelle before she would let us pay it! Stroppy Michelle? How can you say such a thing?
We walked from Brick Lane over to Liverpool Street Station and had a drink in the pub in the station; Hamilton Hall. This is another one of my favourite drinking holes. inside the bar, my father proceeded to suggest Michelle should "check out the cracking backside on that girl". Now, perhaps the night before with the Irish lady was something more than Michelle had told me!!!!
As we were taking our drinks outside, some one shouted my name. Looking round I saw an acquaintance from the past. Not the sort of person I'd like my parents to know I previously associated with. Still it seems to be a weekend of truths, so perhaps my parents should know what I was like!!!!!!!
Next my father told Michelle and my mother that the man next to them "had a big one"!!!! This weekend is getting stranger and stranger. He went on to say he wondered if the man "would let him play with it". By this point, I'm onto the Registrar of births trying to find evidence that I am adopted and not related to my parents. I hope I am!
We left the bar and went to the Underground station at Liverpool St to put my parents on the tube to their hotel. Now, it is possible on a Saturday night to buy the following morning's newspapers at the Underground station. After buying the papers, my father said something last heard when the actress said it to the bishop "If I open it, can you shove it in". He then went on to ask Michelle if her "pants were wet yet".
We left them heading for their tube as we headed home. I had visions of getting a phone call from the sexual offences unit of the Metropolitan Police to say they had arrested my old man. fortunately we got home without such a call being received.
Sunday was a more leisurely day. We met my parents for lunch in Central London, which was not without incident. Michelle and I ordered garlic mushrooms as a starter. After a short wait, the manager came over and apologised saying the order was having to be recooked as the waiter had written it down wrong. As soon as she left, the waiter brought our food – perfectly correct and delicious. Just as we finished eating these, the manager brought two more identical starters and apologised for the delay and the error. The starters she brought were the same as the ones we had just eaten. Quite what the problem was, I have no idea.
After lunch we went to Hyde Park for a walk along the Serpentine Lake to the Princess Diana Memorial Fountain. Now you will recall she died in a car crash in 1997 and this prompted a mass hysteria of "grief" in this country. Monies were donated to a memorial fund for Diana's memory.
This ring of water was what was built as a memorial. The cost to build it was???? Believe it or not £3.6 million pounds. They could have got a couple of Polish builders to do it for £1000 and they would have done a better job. Twice in the first year after its completion it had to be closed and what was designed as a paddling pool/ ring was no longer accessible to the public:
Because Diana was a contemporary and accessible princess, the fountain's goal was to allow people access to the structure and to the water for quiet wading and contemplation. However, shortly after its opening and after three hospitalisations caused by people slipping in the water, the fountain was closed. It reopened in August 2004, surrounded by a new fence, and people were prevented from walking or running in the water by six wardens. Fortunately, now children- of all ages, can run and play and frolic through the stream of cool flowing water.
However, even though the fountain was only open for a part of the 2004 season, and the weather was not particularly wet, the grass adjacent to part of the fountain was almost obliterated, and it appeared that it would turn to a quagmire if heavy rain ever fell during the main visiting season. Therefore in December 2004, another alteration project was started. This involved work on the drainage, together with laying new hard surfaces on some of the most frequently walked areas of the site and the planting of a special hard wearing rye grass mix in others.
My parents, like everyone I know can't believe that so much money was spent on such an embarrassing memorial.
It has been suggested by some that DIANA stands for:
I couldn't possibly comment on that.
After walking back to Hyde Park Corner, Michelle and I bade farewell to my parents and we went to Kings Cross for Michelle to get her train home. 48 hours with me was enough for her apparently.
As for my parents, they still haven't confirmed they are both coming back from Switzerland. Mind you, at their age, they will probably forget why they were going to Switzerland!
Still, if they are not coming back, they won't have time to cut me out of their wills for this post before they go to Switzerland!

Electric Fetus, Extreme Noise to host huge sales
If you've been waiting for a good time to buy 30 or 40 vinyl records, this June is your moment.
Two Twin Cities record shops — Electric Fetus and Extreme Noise — will be hosting parking lot sales this month, slashing prices on stocks of LPs, EPs, and god knows what else.
First up is the Fetus, whose 48th anniversary sale, which began Wednesday and continues until June 12, with everything in stock (aside from tickets, tobacco, gift cards, mix and burn CDs, and music already on sale) marked down by 20 percent. The highlight will be their annual garage sale on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., when the marquee Minneapolis music retailer will discount thousands of physical music vessels in the parking lot.
If you're into edgier material, punk/hardcore/metal specialists Extreme Noise will host its yearly punk rock flea market and record swap on June 25 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Lake Street record shop's sale will be less formal than the Fetus'. Instead of featuring inventory solely from the store, Extreme Noise is inviting local music lovers to bring their own junk to sell secondhand. Because of this, there's really no telling what might pop up. A table at the flea/swap is free, but you should email ahead to reserve your spot.
You've got two days to reinforce your record shelves. Good luck.

Its called "Balls Deep". Funny story this guy I used to mess with used to always warn me when he was about to go balls deep. He'd be like "yo i'm bout to go balls deep' and I'd look at him like "well thanks for the heads up" and then once he tried to stuff his balls in my ass but thats another post.

This morning the Swiss police has arrested a few people. Once again a few top people from Fifa.
This time it is supposed to be Juan Angle Napout, president of the South-American Football association (what we would call UEFA in Europe) and also Alfredo Hawit from Honduras who is the boss of the Middle American football association CONCACAF (what we would call Uefa in Europe)
The swiss police has arrested them on the suspicion of having taken bribes for millions of Euros. Their names haven't been officially announced when writing this but a correspondent of the New York Times in Europe has seen the arrests and given the names.
This isn't really a surprise when you look at it as the Swiss prosecutor Michael Lauber said in September that there was more to come. He then said this investigation will take more than 90 minutes (lovely choice of words) and he then also said that they weren't even close to the half time whistle.
A quick roundup of all the people that have been arrested or will have to go to court up to now shows that from the 22 people who were mostly responsible for giving the world cup to Russia and Qatar that most of them have since then been under investigation or has been banned even and will go to court in the next months.
We had
Mohamed Bin Hammam: From Qatar, was president of the Azian football association (= like Uefa in Europe) who had bribed people to bring the world cup to his country. He was thrown out at one stage, then TAS cleared him for not enough evidence but later new evidence cam above water and he was banned again.
Chuck Blazer: General secretary of CONCACAF and vice-president of the American Football Association. Chuck Blaze admitted in 2013 that together with other members of the executive committee of Fifa they were bribed to give the WC to South Africa. Blazer is one of the persons who has been telling a lot to the FBI about the inner corruption of Fifa.
Jack Warner: Businessman from Trinidad and Tobago and president of CONCACAF from 1990 till 2011. He was famous for asking millions of dollars to countries for his vote when a world cup had to be given to them. He was arrested for fraude and bribery by the Swiss police. He tells he has been the victim of a set up but he also got a rather dubious payment of 10.000.000 euro on his bank account from Fifa.
Watch Arsenal Live Streams With StreamFootball.tv
Julio Grondana: was the person who approved the payment of 10.000.000 to Jack Warner. But he died before the ethics committee could check him out.
Issa Hayatou: who is current president at interim of Fifa because of the suspension of Blatter. He is president of the African Football Association (CAF) since 1988. The Cameroon person has been surrounded by rumours of corruption since a long time. He also received money in the ISL-affaire. The marketing company that went bankrupt and in which a lot of people from FIFA received dubious payments. Hayatou has also been rumoured to have received a payment of 1.5M $ to vote in favour of Qatar.
Sepp Blatter : do I need to say anything? A dubious payment of 1.8M euro to Platini seems to be the thing they can finally get him for.
Michel Platini: receiving a payment for something he had done some 10 years earlier… yeah we all believe that immediately without any hesitation. That the payment was done around the period that some world cups had to be given away will have been just a coincidence of course.
Franz Beckenbauer: 'Der Kaiser' as his nickame goes seems to be wearing no cloths. It seems to be more and more certain that Germany did use some dirty money to hand out to whoever needed and wanted it to get the WC to Germany in 2006. Beckenbauer first denied anything but the investigation seems to dragging him down more and more.
Angel Maria Villar: another president at interim president this time from Uefa in the absence of Platini (see above). He was found guilty by the ethics committee from Fifa for organizing the deal with other members to vote for the WC in Qatar. He was fined but could keep his probably lucrative job….
Other people involved the 'voting deal' were Ricardo Teixeira (Brazilian FA) and Nicolas Leoz (former president of the South American football association).
Other members that are said to have received money from Bin Hamman according to the accusations :
Jacques Anouma (president of the Ivorian FA) who denies to have taken the envelop) as did Reynald Temarii (president Tahiti FA) But despite the denial he has been banned for 8 years by Fifa itself. The envelopes contained 1.5M $. Not bad for giving your vote away….
Amos Adamy from the Nigerian FA only wanted 800.000$ for his vote. He is suspended.
But it doesn't always need to be money. Marios Lefkaritis (Cyprus FA) sold lots of land to Qatar and made a big deal with Gazprom just before the world cups had to be give away. We also have Worawy Makudi (Thailand) who made some big deals with Gazprom and some big land deals with Qatar around the same period. All coincidental with the appointment of the world cup of course. Banned by Fifa for 90 days by the way.
Chung Mong-joon : The south Korean businesman who wanted to bring the world cup to South Korea by paying lots of money to … well to all and everyone I think. Fifa suspended him for 6 years.
There have been 3 other persons who have been investigated by Fifa itself but who were not punished. Michel D'Hooghe from Belgium who received a painting from the Russian FA. That was seen as a normal gift… Vitaly Mutko from Russia has not yet been accused of anything but he is the Russian minister of Sports and involved in the doping case in the Russian athletics world. Only a mild form of over declaring costs when staying in a hotel. So reasonably a small fish amongst others. And then we have Sens Erzik from Turkey who apart from brushing under the carpet some match fixing in Turkey has not been punished for anything.
There are 3 persons who have not been named in any scandal yet. Geoff Thompson (English FA), Junji Ogura (Japan FA) and Rafal Salguero (Guatamala FA). They seem to be the only honourable man who have been at Fifa.
This all based on what I could find on the internet and in newspapers in Belgium. So the list may not be completely up to date and I might even have missed a few things.
But what is clear when looking at this staggering long list is that it seems that at FIFA bribery was business as usual on a day to day basis. I think that not one of those people involved should ever be allowed to do anything in football any more.
The only way forward is to dismantle FIFA completely and best is to never ever start anything like that again. And with Fifa, they can take Uefa down with them. A fish rots from the head down as the expression goes. So let us clear up the mess completely and take away the heads of all the fishes involved.
Fick FUFA and EUFA! I said it from 2010 and since then it has gone from bad to worse.

(Image of this playsuit via Free People–though I altered it ever so slightly. Don't worry, it's the most expensive thing on this list! I love it and had to add, it but everything else is in my usual price range.)
*Laughs loudly at own joke.*
If you tell me my puns aren't funny, I'm going to bury my head in the sand and not listen to you. I'll also bury my toes in the sand while we're at the beach for the 4th of July… and maybe dig a little cup-hole-der…for my rosy tumbler of rose', of course!
And if you tell me I can't bring booze onto a public beach, I'll publicly call you out for being a *beeeetch.*
Okay okay, I'll get to the point! Sorry for the cheesiness overload, but I couldn't help myself– I'd already served the wine! 😉
In honor of the upcoming holiday, I've rounded up some finds more cute and American than a golden retriever puppy and a pro baseball player sitting next to a white picket fence listening to country music and eating apple pie together.
As usual I got carried away with my widget building and there are a bunch of equally cute picks when you use the arrows to scroll right!
I'm pretty sure this dress is the most popular Forever 21 piece of 2016– and for good reason. I've seen it on numerous girls (both real life acquaintances and other bloggers) and it looks amazing on everyone! I love that it could literally be worn for both Cinco de Mayo and the Fourth of July… and pretty much all the time in general.
Ah, summer whites, you make me feel so fresh and carefree! Like clouds and summer brides and crests of waves and the blinding smiles of young actors in light beer commercials. 😉
I've had my eye on the chambray and crochet lace romper for a couple weeks now… It's only a matter of time until I buy it!
The darker chambray playsuit with the flounce top isn't something I'd pay $100 on my current budget but I had to include it because it's so cute yet inexplicably somewhat badass. I love how the stylist paired it with the tube socks and sneaks– I'd totally wear that exact outfit for the Fourth of July.
This is maybe a little embarrassing but I don't even know which name brand started the scalloped bikini trend. I just know everyone's knocking it off– and I'm fine with that! I love this cute budget friendly white one. And I'm swooning over every one of those delicate sheer white cover-ups in the widget. They'd be perfect for a honeymoon, too!
Also how bout those floats? I'm pretty sure having the gold swan guarantees you an extra 103 likes on your trendy pool day instagram. 😉
I've never been particular about body sunscreen; I always just kinda grabbed whatever at CVS and called it a day.
Until I tried THE ONE.
A couple weeks ago, we discovered a random bottle of the 30 SPF version in Stephen's old backpack while camping. Stephen put some on and immediately said, "Hey babe this is a cool sunscreen. It doesn't feel oily."
Stephen doesn't tend to notice skincare-related things (besides being supportive when I catch him up on my acne regimen) so naturally I was intrigued as to what was different about this sunscreen.
YOU GUYS. It's the best!!!
After trying the 30 that weekend, I immediately purchased the aforementioned 100+ as well. It has a slippery, satiny feel that reminds me more of a primer more than a sunscreen. So nice! I'm not exaggerating when I say I don't think I'll buy any other sunscreen ever again, although I'd like to try the spray version too.
Speaking of primer, has anyone tried the Lumi primer? I've heard multiple Youtubers rave about it; Jaclyn Hill especially seems to love it! I feel like if you have already-decent skin you could mix a dab of that with some face sunscreen and have a perfect beach day glow.
Speaking of sun protection, everyone needs a cute floppy hat… or five! If you ask me, this summer's *must have* sunhat has a bit of an LOL price tag (I mean, it's pretty but I can think of SO many things I'd rather have for $485!). Luckily the ones I've linked are a LOT easier on the wallet. Some are even slightly reminiscent of those pricey Eugenia Kim beauts!
Grab your beach bag (I like this very pretty, very on-sale one) and you're good to go!!
I hope everyone has a safe, sandy, superb Fourth of July!!
And I don't mean to insult your intelligence or sound preachy but please don't drink and drive. I know it can be tempting to tell yourself you're going to have "one drink" and drive to that daytime pool party or barbecue but it's been my experience that on holidays "one" can quite easily turn to "seven."
Uber exists for a reason. <3
Cheers to this beautiful country! I can't wait to celebrate!
Xx, Maya

He might have only finished second, but the first up performance of Christen Me at today's Ashburton trials gained a big tick from the team behind the New Zealand Trotting Cup bound pacer.
But the chances of seeing him in a surprise appearance at Rangiora on Sunday are growing slimmer by the hour.
Trainer Cran Dalgety has the Victoria Cup winner up and running early on in proceedings with a view to giving him a slight let up after a month or so in order to have him peaking perfectly on November 11. And judging by his performance against four other fellow Cup aspirants today (August 12th), Dalgety is already on the right track.
Carrying a bit of condition, Dexter Dunn had Christen Me settled last in the field and never angled him into the clear until 250 metres off the finishing line.
When asked he grabbed the bit and really hooked into his work making up plenty of ground to run second behind Jimmy Johnstone, who enjoyed a trail, in a slick last 800 metres which bettered 55 seconds.
"Really pleasing effort first up,'' Dunn said after the heat.
"He's still got the high speed, when I asked him to run he really jumped through the bridle.
"It's a perfect start for us.''
Dalgety had intended on running in a graded preferential barrier draw on Sunday at Rangiora – but the race looks unlikely to get off the ground with only seven horses accepting for the race – some of which held double nominations.
It leaves Dalgety in a slight predicament, but the master trainer wasn't harbouring too many concerns.
"It probably just means we will have to look at another trial.
"The idea behind having him going now was so that we could give him a freshen up before things get real serious, so we certainly won't be pushing him.''
Jimmy Johnstone looked in good nick with his victory – sprinting up the passing lane in good fashion.
Those in behind; Locharburn, Four Starzzz Flash and Pass Them By were all doing good work at the line as well.
Meanwhile Dalgety threw a curve ball into the mix for the up-coming Breeders Crown Series with a decision to chuck forgotten pacer, Bit Of A Legend, who will also be a nomination for the Cup when they are realesed tomorrow (Wednesday afternoon), on a plane to Australia tomorrow.
He will potentially join stable mate, Katy Perry at the series, provided he comes through his assignment on Sunday with flying colours.
"It's a bit of a risk, but you don't get anywhere by sitting back and wondering,'' Dalgety said.
"We are pretty happy with him, all his work has been done away from the public.
"I think he will compete well over there.''
Bit Of A Legend will fly out of Auckland tomorrow.

Express post is a beautiful thing. Critical documents can be sent around the world in record time, kidneys can be delivered to patients in need and, most importantly, cloth can be sent from Scotland to New York over a weekend so trousers can be made.
Having seen Nino on Friday morning to discuss the commission of these trousers (that article is here) the cloth was delivered from Edinburgh over the weekend and the trousers were made over the following 48 hours, ready for the first fitting.
Checked patterns on trousers are notoriously difficult to cut and make up, at least for tailors who care about details. Anyone who has made bespoke checked trousers can attest to this. It requires not only the alignment of the vertical lines, like you would with a pinstripe, but also the horizontal, significantly increasing the difficulty of cutting and making. Although it requires a care when sewing the cut cloth together, it all starts and flows from the cutting itself. If the cutter gets that right, the rest of the process becomes much more manageable.
All in all, Nino and his tailors have put a good deal of care into matching the checks, with all horizontal and almost every vertical line being matched perfectly.
The fit, overall, is good for a first fitting with a new client. Nino intentionally left some room in the waist and some extra length at the hem to allow them to be taken in and up respectively once we had a point of reference from the fitting. We'll take the waist in by a couple of centimetres and the hem up by 1/1.5cm. The waist sits high (where I wanted it), above the hips with the pleats creating extra room allowing the cloth to clear my thighs comfortably and fall cleanly to the shoes.
The fit is good through the legs, although it's been an eye-opener to see how such a bold check accentuates my seat, something I'll be more mindful of when choosing cloth in future. A good idea for someone with a fairly flat seat to give the illusion of shape, but in hindsight, it's a bad idea for my shape.
You'll also notice something out of sync on the left pocket. The pocket bag was accidentally snagged in a stitch when sewing the side seam, which was only noticed when putting my hand in the pocket, so that will be released, the pocket bag will fall and the line around the pocket will be cleaned up as a result. Nino will also have my small fish symbol sewn in to the rear right pocket.
With those three simple changes made, the trousers should be complete. We didn't have time for another fitting before I left New York, so Nino will send the trousers to me once they're finished. I wouldn't be surprised if they may need a final adjustment (possibly in the waist) once they arrive, but that's easily taken care of by a good tailor back at home and we'd probably only be talking in millimetres anyway.

I have two flex zone schedules that have (currently) 3 cycles each. They are scheduled to start at about the same time. Today their watering days synced up. The first schedule ran to completion with its two 30 minute rest cycles. Then the second schedule ran, again with rest cycles. It would be nice if the second schedule could run during the rest cycles of the first schedule.
Currently, if you have both zones in the same flex schedule, it will run each zone during rest cycles.
But I assume that since the two zones have different soil types putting them in the same schedule would be a bad idea. Is that correct?
Zones work independently in a flex schedule. It really is just a container for a start time and allowed watering days.
Thanks, I missed that. I will make the two zones one FLEX schedule.

The final roster for next season could be taking place within the next week.
Johnny Juzang is expected to commit to Kentucky tonight. Hes a 66 guard from California with a silky jump shot that should replace Jemarl Baker.
On Wednesday, Jaden McDaniels is expected to commit and Kentucky just got a pick from Evan Daniels. McDaniels is 611 and can play as a point forward and is being compared to Kevin Durant. Major get if he commits.

I have tried multiple times to sit down and pen something, but when I do, I'm unpleased with the words I've written. I try forming different narratives and yet, nothing seems worth posting. What I can say is that my mind is always working on what to say, both for the purposes of my blog and my internal voice yielding advice. I can't seemingly escape my own self-conscious thoughts long enough to enjoy more of the "little things" in life.
When not consumed by these ongoing thoughts throughout the day, I am constantly seeing images in my dreams which landlock me to the past. I have not found an escape yet. Sometimes, it's crippling. I can look at myself and think, "another day and you're okay," but I wonder how long I have to go through these motions of being just okay until I feel inpenetrable again. I long to feel like my former, happy, bubbly self once more that doesn't feel nauseated over half of my day. I want to dream about happy things again instead of seeing images of fights and frustration all night long.
I woke up around four o'clock yesterday morning from a terrible dream. While I don't remember the exact imagery, I know that in it, I felt mistreated, frustrated, impotent (not in the sexual sense, mind you) and above all else, angry. Sometimes, I wake up and am truly infuriated with what I've just seen because it is so similar to what I have seen and/or experienced in the past. I used to love going to bed at night. I was just starting to get on a normal routine of going to sleep early so I could wake up early. Now, I can't even really enjoy my time in bed for fear of these haunting depictions.
This must be my new normal. This must be what I have to experience to get back to feeling like myself. Some people must really take some time before they're back to their old selves. I read somewhere that if you were in a relationship x amount of years, the time it takes to get over it is typically half. Well, I wasn't in a "relationship" in that sense, but my feelings for N manifested for well over a year. If this process is going to take six months for me to get over, I am going to go insane. It's been a little over a month since things went south (correction, east… he's going to the east and I'm going to the west). With each passing day, there grows more and more distance between us and the situation to allow my heart to heal.
Man, being in love sucks, y'all! You can never predict how things are going to turn out, that's for sure. When you're in the position of actualization that what you thought you had or would have is not even close to what you will have, I mean, damn. But at the end of the day, this is something most have to endure to come back on top or find new purpose. Just yesterday in speaking with a friend, I realized what I should do in order to help me creatively get through this (outside of my blog). It will take some time and require me saving up my money, but in the end, I know it's what I need to do.
While my focus here lately has been all of the stages of grief associated with what I consider to be loss, I am seeing that the weight of the world isn't solely on my shoulders. You find one person out of 7.4 billion that is the only person you see, you neglect the other 7.39 (go with me here; I know the math is off) that are around you and perhaps, always have been. There is so much more to this world than these feelings of loss, and I should know. This is, hands-down, the hardest thing I have ever experienced. I have never felt so alone, so depressed, so ready to shut my eyes and never open them again.
Yet, as one of my best friend's posted on his Instagram page the other day, "I didn't come this far to only come this far." I didn't. If I were going die of heartbreak, I would have done so a month ago. Everyone tells me, "time heals all." I also believe that in that saying, you must take control and decide to make a conscious effort to better yourself and your surroundings. That way, you're healing yourself.
I don't know what to expect in the future. I don't know how different I will be because of this. What I will share is what my friend yesterday told me: In school, your goal is to make A's. Sometimes, however, you get an F that completely brings you down. Don't let one F consume you so that you don't see all the A's around you.
I love that anaology. It's relatable, it makes sense and it helps take my focus off this situation and pair it with others in the past. I don't remember all of the C's, D's and F's I've made in my life. I don't remember the faces of all those who had words for me as I passed by. Hell, I've put 20 years between the loss of my mother and the man I have become and I am still carrying on. I am realizing these dreams and these thoughts, while haunting, aren't completely dibilitating. I am meeting new people, laughing and smiling again, and I'm determined to get back to feeling whole again. Part of me is still broken and fragile, but I'm getting there.
As they say, time heals all. Let's see if they're right.

"Doesn't everyone want to be pulled around by hunky reindeer?" asks 90210's Jessica Lowndes. The actress is taking a breather from the day's task: singing a sultry version of "Santa Baby" while being hauled around on an ice rink by strapping men-deer and a school of merry elves.
Filming the scene hasn't been easy. "I'm from Vancouver, and I don't know how to skate," Lowndes says. "It's embarrassing."
But this is what Adrianna wants, so in Monday's 90210 fall finale, Lowndes' character will celebrate her rapid rise up the pop charts the way any Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star-in-training would. She buys a mansion and a little dog, dresses up as Mrs. Claus (if Mrs. Claus wore fishnet stockings) and throws herself an over-the-top bash.
Coming Out, Slowly: 90210's Trevor Donovan and Kyle Riabko talk Teddy's tortured journey
But Ade's Christmas cheer won't last long. Big parties mean big blow-ups, and her power trip will reach its peak when she's visited by the Ghost of Pop Stars Past — that is, her fed-up manager Victor finally exposes her for stealing the late Javier's music.
"Just when she thinks everything's going amazing, she realizes that Victor has now turned on her and she's devastated," Lowndes says.
At the same time, Adrianna's neglect of Navid (Michael Steger) will take its toll when Navid's dad unexpectedly flees the country. With Adrianna preoccupied, Silver (Jessica Stroup) is the one who does the consoling.
90210's Shenae Grimes on selling eggs, silencing Jasper, and Scream 4
"There will be lots of kisses for Christmas in this episode," Stroup teases.
"Silver's there for me when Adrianna should be," Steger says. And the truth is Navid's fallen out of love with Adrianna more than he's fallen in love with Silver. "Ade's turned into someone else. It's just too much for Navid to handle so he's totally disconnecting from the relationship."
As for Silver, Stroup isn't saying whether or not she and Navid will become a true twosome in the new year, but she's all for it if they do. "I want some Steger for Silver ... There's a lot of good stuff coming. Maybe even a little bit of the physical."
On-set report: 90210's West Bev boys work it a la Chippendales
That certainly sounds like the end for Adrianna and Navid, a couple who since Season 1 has survived her drug problem, pregnancy, cheating with Teddy, and second drug problem. Steger says Ade will, in fact, begin to realize what's at stake but only after it's too late.
"She doesn't yet realize that she's lost a few things in the fire and it's going to be hard for her to reclaim the dignity she once had," Steger says. "She's lost a lot of friends, her boyfriend and she could lose a lot more."
In spite of everything, Lowndes, who's recording an album of her own, says Adrianna isn't just going to give up on her dream.
"She still has a good heart," the actress says. "But, obviously, she's always had a very addictive personality. She's always wanted this kind of success, and she'll stop at nothing to get it."
90210's fall finale airs Monday at 8/7c on the CW.

Dictionary Project, Volume X: Netherlands, Belgium and Luxemburg
The Dictionary Project is a post-a-day exploration of The Century Dictionary and Cylopedia, a twelve-volume set printed in New York in 1901. The Project runs from October 1, 2014 to September 30, 2015, and matches volume numbers to calendar months. Volume X is The Atlas, and today is Day 13.
If it's
Tuesday Monday, this must be Belgium. (Darn; should have timed that better to hit the joke!) I have been to one-third of the countries named on this map, and that one-third is Belgium! We were only there for about four days, but the friend we stayed with in Ghent shuttled us all over place in those four days, and we saw plenty of Beer and Battlefields. (Belgium is to beer as France is to wine, you understand. And it's a bit of a Mecca for beer lovers like my Beloved.) It's a great place. If you haven't been, go.
I haven't been to the Netherlands yet, but it's definitely on the to-see list. Borders have shifted a little since this map was drawn in 1897. The Prussians have part of the Netherlands, and it looks like Belgium and Holland haven't settled things finally yet; the Treaty of Mastricht was signed in 1843, but this map doesn't reflect the complexity of some of the maddest borders in the world.
Don't know what I mean? Have a look at the modern state of this section of the border between the Netherlands and Belgium. Don't forget the little bits of Belgium that lie within the Netherlands, at Baarle-Hertog/Baarle-Nassau. This border separates sides of street, portions of a village, and in one instance, a restaurant. Ah, division along religious lines. Well, crazy borders are better than bombing each other.

X25-M G2 solid state drive? Good news, storage junkies -- today you can. After Intel saw its next-gen SSD launch party hit a snag with an off-the-wall quirk that could cause data corruption for those who altered or disabled a drive password within the system BIOS, the company has finally come forward with a firmware update that solves the dilemma, along with world hunger, "the economy" and an undisclosed amount of other universal pains. Hit the read link for instructions on how to update your drive, but don't blame us if every precious memory you've ever collected goes down in flames during the process. Just kidding.

Former President Chandrika Kumaratunga had sold her luxury bungalow at Horagolla. The house, built over a decade ago, near the old Sangabodhi Vidyalaya, on a plot of land given by Mrs. Sirimavo Bandaranaike, had been acquired by a strong SLFP supporter. Informed sources identified the buyer as the proprietor of well-known eatery on the other side of Horagolla along the Colombo-Kandy road.

The Organization
The Passions daytime soap opera on NBC premiered on July 5th, 1999 and has been running ever since. The show was created by James E. Reilly.
The Challenge
Passion's wardrobe department is responsible for over 11,000 pieces of clothing. It was essential to be able to track the day to day movements of these items. Though not a retail business, the wardrobe department sometimes operates like one, with lots of new clothing coming in, and plenty of clothing getting sold. As fashion dictates, things can only be worn so many times.
With the large volume and monetary value of this inventory, the wardrobe department needed to keep inventory organized to prevent loss.
The Solution
By using both IntelliTrack Fixed Assets and IntelliTrack Check In-Out, the wardrobe department tracks the massive amount of clothing they have at their disposal.
They can tell the exact location of a particular piece of clothing at any time, whether it be onstage, at the cleaners, or in storage.
By using customizable fields, they are able to assign certain pieces of clothing to particular actors or actresses. Now, when the accounting department does an audit and gives the wardrobe people a list of items it wants located, the IntelliTrack system knows the location of every item.
The Results
With the help of IntelliTrack software, the Wardrobe department at Passions no longer has to worry about the location of their substantial inventory. They can instantaneously find the piece of wardrobe they need by using the software. NBC's Tom Rotolo said, "Accounting audits are a breeze. We're given a list of items to find in our inventory, and the system knows where they are!"

August Land Use Committee meeting cancelled
See you September 26th for an update on the California College of Art Oakland Campus re-use proposal.
Wednesday, August 22, 2018
It's August, when people take vacations, and not much tends to happen. With that in mind, the August 22nd land use committee has been cancelled.
The next regular meeting will be Wed., September 26th, when we'll hear an update on plans for the reuse of the California College of Art's Oakland campus.
