Unveiled Beauty
Handwritten Stories from a Poetic Heart
A secret diary written from the hearts of women—an anthem of struggle and strength.
Unveiled Beauty is more than a poetry book. In her first published collection, Lisa Harris offers stunning photography alongside heartfelt poetry reflecting women's struggles, triumphs, and universal journeys. Harris, a former corporate retail executive with experience in apparel and beauty, has partnered with fashion and lifestyle photographers to release an original twist on a traditional poetry book.
The Art: Never before has a poetry book combined these three art forms—fashion, photography, and poetry. With a creative and unique approach, Unveiled Beauty pairs original poetry with original fashion photography to capture a whole portrait of a woman, both her inner and outer beauty. Captivating photography, custom fashion designs, and thought-provoking poetry will draw you in from beginning to end.
The Women: The women in the pages of Unveiled Beauty are not professional models. They are everyday women who represent universal beauty. Physically, they are a beautiful cross- section of women with different ethnic backgrounds, ages, shapes, and sizes. Unveiled Beauty hopes to connect with women of all ages at all stages in life with a focus on building confidence, self- discovery and healing.
The Poetry: Throughout Unveiled Beauty, each poem boldly covers a wide range of topics that attest to the power and spirit of each woman's story. Alongside love and heartache, Lisa discusses motherhood, sensitive social issues, and mental health, but more importantly, her words will leave readers feeling understood, empowered, and unified.

Lisa unveils the courage, the fears, the strength, the failures that is in each of us, and reminds us that this, this is beauty. Unveiled Beauty is a gift of her soul, from her soul, that is familiar to every woman in her grace, in her grief, in her hopes. This book unites us as warriors of the same tribe, the tribe of authenticity, vulnerability, and beauty."

A dental bridge is a fixed (non-removable) appliance and is an excellent way to replace missing teeth.
There are several types of bridges. You and your dentist will discuss the best options for your particular case. The "traditional bridge" is the most popular type and is usually made of porcelain fused to metal. This type of bridge consists to two crowns that go over two anchoring teeth (abutment teeth) and are attached to pontics (artificial teeth), filling the gap created by one or more missing teeth.
Dental bridges are highly durable and will last many years, however they may need replacement or need to be re-cemented due to normal wear.
Reasons for a fixed bridge:
What does getting a fixed bridge involve?
Getting a bridge usually requires two or more visits. While the teeth are numb, the two anchoring teeth are prepared by removing a portion of enamel to allow for a crown. Next, a highly accurate impression (mold) is made which will be sent to a dental laboratory where the bridge will be fabricated. In addition, a temporary bridge will be made and worn for several weeks until your next appointment.
At the second visit, you permanent bridge will be carefully checked, adjusted, and cemented to achieve a proper fit. Occasionally your dentist may only temporarily cement the bridge, allowing your teeth and tissue time to get used to the new bridge. The new bridge will be permanently cemented at a later time.
You will receive care instructions at the conclusion of the procedure. Proper brushing, flossing and regular dental visits will aid in the life of your new permanent bridge.
I have been seeing Dr. Porcu since I was a teenager. I am now 40 years old with a child of my own. He is always very thorough, explains all the options to me, from a simple filling, to an impression for a mouth guard, etc...He lets me know all of my options. He is very caring, and the work he has done has lasted all of these years without having to be replaced, etc... so the quality is good! I took my son there for his first visit at 3 years of age. Dr. Porcu put me in the chair with my son on my lap and examined him. Later, when my son needed a cavity filled at 6 years of age, Dr. Porcu, with his excellent chair-side manner, put my son at ease...so much so that my son never cried or even called out to me during his novacaine shot or the drilling, etc... I was so impressed! I have seen pictures of other dentists offices that cater to children, with all the games and decorations, etc... but I wonder why one would need all that from the moment that the Dentist himself puts the kids at ease...with his calm demeanor, and the way he speaks to them. I am truly very happy with Dr. Porcu, and his staff (the cleanings twice a year performed by his awesome hygienist) that I recommend him to all my friends and family.

Dear Dr. Porcu, Just a short thank you to your and your staff. During my tooth "emergency" you and your team made me feel so comfortable. While my anxiety level was so high, you and Lina quickly diagnosed my problem, promptly took care of the pain, kept me calm and acted respectfully and professionally but at the same time treated me like family!! The work that you perform Dr. Porcu is always top of the line and the care and concern of those who were in the office that day and the days for my follow-ups are exemplary. Thank you Dr. Porcu, Lina, Nicole and Margaret. Warm Regards.

I garnished the wall with that page I ripped from the latest Bergdorf catalog with the green Alex McQueen dress, and I put up Instax shots I took this afternoon because it was so goddamn beautiful out and I was in a mood to dawdle outside and snap pictures.
This wall looked like this 9 months ago. French boy with puppy is no longer around. I'm very patient with staring at nothing until I find something that catches my eye and deserves to go up on the wall. Once things go up, they rarely come down.
I bought cookies the other day and I cannot for the life of me find them. Bah humbug.

Get to know the fundamentals of the Vitamin Information Panel, and understand the parts and pieces, from serving size, complete energy and fat to p.c of Every day Values. Another program I did not identify was the On-Web site Sewage program in Environmental Health. Along with us he's additionally Medical Director of the Central Michigan District Well being Division (CMDHD) and District Well being Division #10 (DHD#10). That's the message behind a new sequence of videos created for the Clinton County Health Division by Carlin Media by way of a grant from the New York State Well being Foundation.
For more information about this system, meals security news and to view well being inspections in Pueblo, click on a tab above and like The Dish of Pueblo on Fb. Another complicating factor is that our health department is between two massive medical trading areas, each with its personal HIE.
Now referred to as AlertKC, residents will stay secure and in the know with weather warnings and neighborhood messages delivered on to their telephone. Some native well being departments have decided that the decision from voters and legislators is obvious: they do not worth public health companies.
Dr. Bernard Eichold, Well being Officer for Mobile County, estimated that less than $10,000 worth of injury was sustained within the incident that started about 4 a.m. March 4, 2015.

And for the primary time in more than two decades, the Cellular County Well being Division is launching something else that may serve as a visible reminder to the general public and staff that the 495-worker strong agency takes critically its mission to advertise, improve and shield the well being of those that live and work in our nook of coastal Alabama.

Medical thriller blockbusters make millions for the movie industry: you might know "Contagion" or "Outbreak." But in the beginning, there was "Coma." All are based on books by Robin Cook.
"'Coma' made
people realize that the metaphor of being put to sleep is not really what's
going on," Cook told CBS News' Don Dahler. "In fact, when you read 'Coma' you realize you're being
poisoned to the point of death and then saved at the end of the
Cook is considered the father of the medical thriller. He's a doctor and a novelist, with most of his 33 books turning into hits. Cook's latest tale is called "Cell," and it went on sale this week.
Cook wrote "Coma," his first New York Times best seller, in 1977. He followed that book to Hollywood, but started writing in an unlikely place.
"You know where I started my writing career? In a submarine. I was underwater in a nuclear submarine," said Cook.
Cook served as a navy doctor for almost three years, and practiced medicine for 15 years. Yet, he's famous for his imagination, especially when his fiction becomes reality.
"Back when I wrote 'Outbreak' about Ebola, I mean, Ebola was a real virus. There had only been an outbreak in Congo when I wrote about it, but to me, it was so obvious that this was gonna happen all over," he told Dahler. "When the swine flu and the avian flu were both in the same location together in China, I started getting really worried, which is the reason that I wrote 'Contagion.'"
And if his prognosis is again correct, look no further than his newest book, "Cell," to meet the doctor of the future - a smartphone app called "iDoc." But the technology takes a dark turn.
In the book, the app serves as a customizable personal physician which supposedly can diagnose and treat better than a real-life doctor. The app's creator awakens one morning to find his fiance dead after participating in an iDoc beta test and then several of his patients also die after being part of the same test."Everybody thinks of their cell phone as their - it's the first thing they touch in the morning, the last thing they look at night. Well, there is a bad side," said Cook. "I woke up two summers ago in the middle of the night and I said, 'My gosh, I know what's gonna happen.'"
Cook invests his time and money into homes around the country. He's written most of his books in Florida, but when he's in search of some inspiration, he writes in a little alcove, in his ski house.
"If I have a plotting problem, I don't know why it is, but I go up to New Hampshire and it's really cold out and the fire's crackling and I sit on the couch and all of a sudden I seem to come up with the solution," he said. "So, it is a big luxury, but it's been a luxury that has made sense."

Constantine Valhoui has created the NYC Music Map. It is a Google Map with geographical pins placed on over 200 references to the NYC area. So what songs did he find for Williamsburg/Greenpoint?
CocoRosie – South 2nd
The Besnard Lakes – Bedford and Grand
Paris Streets – Bedford Avenue
Justice of the Unicorns – McCarren Pool
Fleshtones – Destination Greenpoint USA
Nellie McKay – Manhattan Avenue
All of the songs he's listed so far only seem to reference Williamsburg/Greenpoint in the titles of the songs. If we dig a little deeper there has to be a lot more. I can think of Say Hi's Pop Music Of The Future off the top of my head with the lyrics "She's got a loft space, takes the L train to Bedford. Runs with some cool kids that are actors but dress like nerds."
What other songs can you guys name? Leave them in the comments and I'll send Constantine a list to add to his map.

Doing Dubai on a Discount
Going out in Dubai doesn't really come cheap, especially if you plan on drinking fruity piña coladas all evening. People who work in Dubai are on tax-free salaries, so they can usually afford to splash the cash.
A pint of beer will set you back between 40 to 80 dirhams (£7.50 to £15), depending on where you are, while cocktails are a minimum of 60 dirhams (£11.50), although some places are much pricier. If you fancy securing a table at a club, you may need to empty your piggy bank, as you can expect to pay between 3,000 and 5,000 dirhams (£600 to £1000) depending on the night of the week and the club.
However, if you're prepared and you know where to go, you can do Dubai on a discount, and that starts by going out early for happy hours. If you're of the fairer sex you can save a lot, as there are plenty of ladies' nights on Tuesdays and Wednesdays where you can expect free entry and discounts on drinks.
Friday brunches are very popular in Dubai. The most popular ones feature all-you-can-drink champagne or sparkling wine, alongside a good spread of great breakfast items. If you're looking for one of the better priced brunches, decide between Maya Dubai or Tora Tora. Both are 500 dirhams (£96) with free flowing champagne. Pyramids Restaurant is only 235 dirhams (£45), which includes unlimited house wine, while you can have a cheap brunch without the booze.
All-you-can-drink barbecue nights, unlimited cheese and wine parties, and bottomless coffee cafés for the morning after are other good ways to save a bit of cash.
Some bars won't appreciate you sat there nursing one drink all night, but in others there's so much going on around you that you don't necessarily need to drink for entertainment. Head to the Bollywood Bar for belly dancing, Escoba for traditional Arabic music, Tchaikovsky for Russian cabaret and Cirque du Soir for jugglers, fire breathers and aerial artists.

How to Trellis a Beefsteak Tomato
"Beefsteak" tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum "Beefsteak") grow as indeterminate plants, which means they can reach heights of 6 feet or more during the summer growing season. These plants usually grow too tall for a standard tomato cage, but they still need support so they don't fall over once they are heavy with their large, baseball-sized fruit. A sturdy trellis provides a single support structure for an entire row of these flavorful slicing tomatoes.
Dig a 10- to 12-inch deep hole at each end of the tomato row with a post-hole digger. Place additional post down the center of the row, between the two end posts, if the end posts are more than 20 feet apart. Insert the 3-inch diameter, 6-foot tall posts into the hole, replace the dirt, and pack it in place firmly to anchor the posts.
Wrap the end of a 12-gauge wire around the top of one end post, about 6 feet above ground. Staple or nail the end of the wire to the post, and then stretch it tautly to the next post and anchor it in place. Attach a second wire between the posts 12 inches above the ground.
Tie a length of twine to the bottom wire and stretch it tautly to the top wire. Tie the other end to the top wire. Attach additional lengths of twine for each "Beefsteak" tomato plant, spacing the twine 36 inches apart along the length of the trellis.
Plant a "Beefsteak" tomato seedling at the base of each length of twine. Plant tomatoes deeper than they were growing in their nursery pots, so the bottommost leaf is just above the soil surface, to encourage healthy rooting. Water the tomatoes immediately after planting to moisten and settle the soil.
Pinch out the suckers that form where the tomato side branches connect to the main stem, removing them when the suckers are about 1/2-inch long. Remove suckers once weekly throughout the growing season so the "Beefsteak" develops no more than one or two main stems, which makes it easier to trellis successfully.
Wrap the main stem of the plant around the twine as the stem grows. Wrap it in the same direction each time, handling it gently so the stem doesn't break. Pinch back the top of the stem to the topmost set of leaves or side branch when it grows to the top of the trellis to slow upward growth.
Things Needed
- Post-hole digger
- 3-inch diameter, 8-foot tall posts
- 12-gauge wire
- Staple gun
- Garden twine
- Check for underground utilities before digging holes for the posts.
- If your "Beefsteak" tomato won't stay coiled around the twine, tie cloth plant ties around the stem and twine them loosely to hold it in place. Attach ties above a side branch and space them about 8 inches apart to anchor the plant securely.

IDEO's Business Week Cover
10 Jun 2004|Darrel Rhea
OK, we admit it. We're envious of our friends at IDEO getting a cover story in Business Week. Kudos to IDEO. And kudos to Bruce Nussbaum for highlighting design in a way that millions of readers can relate to.
It gets people thnking and talking about design and that's gotta be good. It also gives companies like us (Cheskin) an opportunity to show our nuanced approach to research, consumer understanding, and ultimately, design.
What I liked most about the article was that it actually talked about the design process and the way innovation happens, not just the slick output of the process. Those of us who have spent our careers in design know that the clever, elegant, and aesthetically beautiful product represents the tip of an enormous iceberg of activities that are invisible to the lay public. Lurking under the sexy appearance is often years of hard work, thousands of man hours — work done by designers and design researchers whose output is less easy to photograph but is critical none the less.
I also liked how the article was acknowleding a company like IDEO for helping transform business. Cheskin has been doing this for years and it's why we've always been the odd duck out in research circles. The new generation of Designers today are designing businesses. Not just veneer applied to products, not just tinkering with the mechanics of services — We are successfully using the design process to redirect the business enterprise. And leveraging customer insight is the basis for how we are doing it.prev next

Prospect v Carew park abandoned after 35 mins,Carew had 2 sent off,ref was 'supposedly' threatened from what i heard,a few more bodies leaving Carew also,doesn't bode well for Albert and his troops,Ger Ned started up top for them today
Charleville giving a walkover this morning, farcical.
Prospect v Carew park abandoned after 35 mins,Carew had 2 sent off,ref was 'supposedly' threatened from what i heard,a few more bodies leaving Carew also,doesn't bode well for Albert and his troops,Ger Ned started up top for them today
Pike and boro winning games 7 and 8 and 9 nil teams pulling out matches being abandoned walk overs return ......glad I stayed in my local this season rather than watch dat rubbish enjoy lads
Good result for the View ,pike made most of the running but Fairgreen boys deserved their point.Thought Neville should have dealt the header that levelled the match.New lads did well for the View however if there is a better player than Pikes Mcgann around i,ve yet to see him.Another walkover in the league...disgraceful and obviously abandoned games a huge problem with once again a familar club involved,hopefully the punishment will be what is warrented and severe ,its always everyone elses fault is,n it?
Was there a reason given for the walkover or did they just not fancy getting battered again?
Think they didnt want the aul few bob thrown at pa o Callaghan
Walkovers above being described as farcical and disgraceful?? Christ above has it not dawned on people lads and clubs are fed up with the culture that has been created by the so called big 2 and for what bragging rights ......drop down the leagues lads leave them have it
Fairview have turned their policies around and it has worked out for the best, it would be great to see them push the top two, pitch looked awful.
Sure didnt the council ring certain clubs at the back end of last season sayin they wouldnt have to furfill all fixtures because their was nothing to play for ?? And now people are having a go at charleville , fair play to them and many more teams will be doing the same ......league is full of clowns who couldnt make it a higher level dropping to junior and beliveing they are top players and managers and idiot clubs are falling for their guff and throwing coin around .......limerick junior soccer is destroyed
Like who?
And Im sure you have seen other social media platforms over the last 24 hours TG people are fed up with whats goin on
I have of course but I reckon Charleville didnt want their holes handed to them again so they didnt show up. Only team that had gone and signed a Charleville player in the off season was Regional was it? They bottled it.
Praising clubs for giving walkovers is also a sad reflection of where junior soccer opinion is at ,even if it is only an opinion.There have always been dominent clubs,take the great Fairviews teams of the past for instance,they often hammered teams but i dont remember teams packing their bags and giving up and that team was stacked with players from everywhere.....people and clubs are blaming refs,the council,money,other clubs......clubs should get their own house in order and take some responsability and stop the constant moaning.What Charleville did was unacceptable,what happened in Cals park was also wrong and a disgrace.Ya of course the council etc need to step up but the bottom line is the clubs need to buck up.
It's not a free for all where language is concerned lads.
My last post Im withered with it like the majority..........pike boro yer fantastic blah blah
Ah lads whats with all the drama, very melodramatic.
There was a period in the late 80s and through the 90s when Fairview won 12 or 13 leagues in a 15 year period, did clubs say ah here Fairview ye can have it no they didnt, they got on with it. Anytime something goes wrong in a club these days its oh its Pikes fault or Its the LDMCs fault or thats them Boro ***** again. Maybe when clubs give walkovers or get a match abandoned(again) they should look at themselves and get their own house in order instead of blaming everyone else, a bit of personal responsibility wouldnt go a miss.
What he said.
What do fellas expect to happen? LDMC cant do anything because you cant prove anything.

Ra Diggs Faces Life Sentence After Drug Arrest
Waka Flocka associate and Murda Team rapper Ra Diggs has been arrested in New York City for participation in the what police refer to as the Gowanus Drug Trade. Authorities have targeted the trade, based around a neighborhood in downtown Brooklyn. for years. For more than two years, Ra Diggs, real name Ronald Herron, had been on their radar before his apprehension in Manhattan on October 5. If convicted, the rapper could face life in prison.
The New York Daily News is reporting that authorities had infiltrated the trade shortly after starting their investigation in 2008. Federal officers made hundreds of undercover buys within the Gowanus Houses, a housing project in the neighborhood, and they now claim that Diggs could be implicated in multiple open murder cases that arose as a result of the trade. None of those open murder cases have received charges, though. This arrest, which occurred outside Club Amnesia in Chelsea, is purely drug-related.
Ra Diggs was specifically targeted because of his outspoken public stances on drug dealing and violence. The rapper is a prolific Twitter and YouTube user and often gave authorities just what they needed to stay abreast of his day-to-day activities. He routinely used social media platforms to threaten to kill cops and posted pictures of himself with guns and bulletproof vests.
The timing couldn't be worse for Herron, either. He received the biggest look of his career thus far with a feature on Waka Flocka's 'Flockaveli' album that came out the same day as his arrest.

WHAT AN AMAZING FORTNIGHT it has been! We have managed to survive a trip to Edinburgh in one weekend to visit the family and then celebrated Lily's christening the following weekend. To say it has been busy is an understatement but we have had plenty laughs and memories to last a lifetime.
Jamie's first holiday happened when he was a year old when we were well and truly past the stage of bottles and sterilisers. Lily's first trip has been a whole different experience altogether. This time there were bottles, sterilisers, milk, bouncer chairs, pushchairs and enough babygrows and change of clothing to sink a ship. The car was packed to the gunnels and that was before James and I had even packed a thing for ourselves!
I honestly can't remember what I did with my time before we had kids. I vaguely remember spending a couple of evenings before James and I were going away anywhere, choosing what clothes to take, selecting what make up and jewellery to bring that would go with my outfits and have plenty time to paint my nails and straighten my hair. Those days are long gone.
The Edinburgh weekend
A week before we were planning to leave, I wrote myself a list of all the things required. The problem was most of the items were things we used on a daily basis so couldn't be packed in advance, so as usual, the night before we left was a case of getting the kids to sleep so James and I could frantically get our stuff together and pack the car
What we thought was a half-hour job of loading up the car turned into a two-hour handling. Everything had to be fitted into the car like a jigsaw puzzle to leave space for the kids. How can two little people have so much stuff?! It had gone past 1.00am and I had no intention at that stage of sitting up half the night straightening my hair or painting my nails. The most effort I was going to make was to make sure I had matching underwear packed. At least then if I got run over or ended up in some horrific accident where they would have to cut the clothes off me – I wouldn't be embarrassed.
After we finally arrived and started to do the rounds of visits with the family, Jamie and Lily loved all the attention and were as good as gold. Jamie was so excited to be staying in the hotel. They had supplied a cot for Lily but had made up a single bed for Jamie. He was so exhausted with all the excitement of the day, that we thought it might be a good idea to try him out in the single bed and see how he would get on. Okay, it was midnight before he actually settled but he slept in the bed all night! Result!
The following morning, we arrived at Jamie and Lily's Great Grandma's house. She was so delighted to see how big Jamie had grown and spent ages cuddling and chatting to our new edition. It was lovely to have four generations of the family around the table. My Granny had bought Jamie a new scooter, so he spent the day flying up and down the hall, laughing and falling over. James and I spent the day chasing him down the hall, picking up all Granny's priceless ornaments she had lying everywhere! How we made it out of that house without a breakage, I'll never know. Jamie of course was totally oblivious to all this and was having a great time. Again, they were both so good, and Lily pretty much fell asleep once we arrived back at the hotel (pictured). Jamie was still late again but eventually fell asleep and stayed in his bed until the morning. Oh, this was going so well, I began to relax and wonder why I was getting so stressed at taking them on a trip?
Err, the following day happened, that's why.
The plan was to go and visit the kids' other Great Grandma in the morning and then a cousin of my Mum's in the afternoon. I should have known how the day was going to go from the off. Jamie was so grumpy over breakfast and even more whingey in the back of the car on the way. I figured once we got to Granma's house, he would be fine. Not so. Once we arrived at the house, Jamie was furious at being lifted out the car seat and being confronted again with yet more faces. James and I took it in turns for over an hour trying to bring him round but he was having none of it and the whinging turned into tears, which then set Lily off. He even nearly throttled Grandma's budgie! I decided to put Jamie into bed and see if he would settle. After 10 minutes, he was out like a light, snoring his head off. After two hours, it was time to wake Jamie up and go. My poor Grandma must have felt like a tornado had hit her house with all the roaring and crying. All this way for a visit and Jamie spent most of it sleeping!
The final visit was just the icing on the cake for Jamie and Lily. They lasted about half-an-hour before we had to leave– or I'm sure we would have been thrown out! They were both so exhausted and Jamie at this point was running on fumes, going around like a raving banshee and ignoring my pleas of 'Put that down!' and 'Sit down and behave!' Of course, I'm trying to notraise my voice while pretending I'm totally cool when really, I wanted to grab the little devil and roar my head off! We made our excuses and left but I then realised it wasn't fair on them and it was too much to expect them to be on their best behaviour all the time.
We spent the following day having a day-off from visiting and decided to hit Ocean Terminal shopping centre. We had only just arrived and Jamie needed changed. I found the parenting suite and started to get Jamie cleaned up when a woman turned on the hand dryer. Jamie went crazy and was genuinely so terrified that I ended up having to change his clothes as well! I got Jamie back into the pushchair and noticed Lily's face was getting very red – a face that tells me I'm not done with the nappy changing bag. Back in to change Lily.
After wondering if I was actually going to get out of the parenting suite, we eventually got to the shops and had a great day. Lily was able to snooze as and when she needed and Jamie was happy to be ferried about chilling in the pushchair. In hindsight, I should have had a day like this in the middle of our visits and maybe we wouldn't have had the meltdowns, but all-in-all we had a fantastic trip and it was lovely watching all the relatives spend time with the wee ones.
The Christening
We were only just home, when we had Lily's Christening in three day's time. Back to the organised chaos of sorting out washing and getting the house tidied up for my Mum and Dad staying and also my sister Katy who had been asked to be Lily's Godmother. All the best-laid plans go out of the window when you have a toddler and a 4-month-old in the mix. My main thing was to get the kids back into their routine and have them in good form for Lily's big day. Thankfully, I managed to get the house into a fit state the night before, with James' help of course! After Mum and Dad arrived, it was time to relax as nothing more could be done by that stage. The kids were in bed early. There was nothing else for it, other than have a wee glass of wine and enjoy the evening.
James collected the Christening cake and delivered it to the hotel in the morning, collected Katy at the bus station while the rest of us packed our bags for staying overnight, with all the outfits ready to go. When my sister arrived there was all the usual catching up, and then a race to see who could get into the shower first and take it in turns to get ready. I wanted to wait until the last second to dress Lily and Jamie. I just wanted one photo of both of them in their dress and suit before they either spilt juice or threw up – or worse!
We met our family and friends up at the Chapel. We were early. Albeit by three minutes, but with myself to dress, a husband who announces he needs a shirt ironed 15 minutes before leaving and the kids to sort, I think that's pretty good going. The Christening service was lovely and both Lily and Jamie did brilliant and happily sat through the whole thing without a sound. My Mum had armed herself with bags of Quavers and random items out of James' toolbox that she thought Jamie would enjoy playing with. I'll never forget the Priest's face when he turned around and saw Jamie sitting in his pushchair with a bag of crisps in one hand and a paintbrush in the other! Whatever works.After the usual bustle of photos and getting an opportunity to chat to everyone, Jamie went on with his Granny and Gramps to the hotel and we took Lily and my sister.
We arrived at the hotel to a private room with a champagne reception. The cake was beautifully placed with tealights on a stand when we walked in. Everything looked lovely and the meal we had just finished the day off. The room we were in was perfect as it was just for us so Jamie was free to run around all he wanted. Everyone had a great evening laughing, chatting and drinking. Lily was ruined with so many gorgeous gifts and cards. I was so glad we had decided to stay in the hotel. We could just take the kids straight to the room when they got tired and after, James and I were able to chill and have a wee dram to celebrate too.
All that is left to say is what a fantastic weekend with so many great memories. It was lovely to celebrate our daughter's special day with our nearest and dearest and we would like to thank everyone who came near and far and celebrated with us.
Cheers to Lily!

"Something precious is lost if we rush headlong into the details of life without pausing for a moment to pay homage to the mystery of life and the gift of another day." ~~ Kent Nerburn
This time of the year can be the best of times and the worst of times, to turn a phrase. Winter, itself, is a great time for introspection, for nurturing our hearth, for focusing on family, and for learning. The seasons provide us a lovely opportunity for retreat.
But our world seems out of touch with the seasons. We turn off our senses and listen to the sales advertisements in the newspaper and on the internet and we start making lists of all the chores and shopping we need to do. We close ourselves off from seeking the light in the darkest of times and get strung out by the smell of cinnamon and pine that's pumped through stores and get fascinated be the twinkle of Christmas tree lights.
And this post isn't to say that we need to bring "Christ" back into Christmas. It's not to discourage gift giving or late nights that we spend gift wrapping and making cookies. It's not for or against any holiday that we celebrate at this time of the year. There's time for champagne, stockings, menorahs, and fireworks. But what about if we find some balance during this time of the year?
Does my best friend really need another sweater, another pair of earrings, or more gift cards to Itunes, amazon, etc? We don't ever get to spend time together outside of work so if I am being mindful of what's important, maybe I would offer to pay for lunch at a locally owned restaurant… thus spending time with my friend outside of the office, helping the local economy, and taking time to just be a companion. What would be better for our families and our team at work than for us to find something rejuvenating so that we can be there for others. 30 minutes can make a difference when we turn off work and problems and simply opening ourselves to being fully present at that meal.
This time of the year, we really miss the people who we love that have died. It's a great time of the year to give to charities in memory of those who have touched us. Sites such as www.seva.org or www.heifer.org are great places to make a difference in the world. Or find an organization in your area, like a local hospice or food pantry, where funding has most likely been slashed. Not only will you help others but you will pay forward all the generosity and love that your special person gave to you.
And what about people in your life that you've lost touch with? People who, throughout the year, go by the wayside when we're busy? Can you take an hour and bring groceries to an elderly relative? Can you watch your neighbor's kids so they can go to the doctor's when their flu shots haven't worked? Can you take an hour to read to your kids or a niece or nephew?
Can you give time and love, instead of a new watch or XBox?
Where else can we find balance? Maybe this year we don't go to every cookie exchange, every holiday cocktail party, or family production. Maybe this year, you take a little longer walk or walk outside instead of at the gym. What if you walk down by the river, without your Ipod? Can you just listen to the wind and the birds? How about learing to cook one vegetarian dish a month or a week, helping the environment and your body?
Mindfulness gives us the tools to remember that the middle way, the way of keeping the balance, the way of being healthier and well, just more sane. It gives us opportunities to see how we are living, what we are thinking, and where we are spending our time and our thoughts. Mindfulness helps us turn on, not tune out. Mindfulness brings us closer to stillness and peace and allows us to show mercy for our hearts and compassion for those around us.
What better gift could you give to those you love but more mindfulness in your life and in theirs?

DANVILLE, Ind. – A man died Wednesday afternoon after his vehicle struck a tractor head-on in Danville.
State Road 39 was shut down in the area for several hours as a result. According to the Hendricks County Sheriff's Office, the crash happened around 4:15 p.m. at State Road 39 near State Road 236.
The driver of a GMC pickup truck, later identified as Cecil L. Hillers, 75, Lebanon, was going southbound on State Road 39 and crossed the center line into the northbound lane. The truck struck the tractor head-on, and Hillers was pronounced dead at the scene.
A witness said the tractor driver slowed down and tried to avoid the collision but couldn't. The road was closed for several hours and was down to one lane until about 10:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Police were still investigating what may have caused Hillers to veer across the center line.

Checking Out The Chinese Influence In Mexicali… And More
Mexicali is the largest border town in Baja and before my visit there last month I had no idea about the cultural identity of the town, assuming of course mostly Mexican. However it was the Chinese that virtually founded this bustling city and today their influence is everywhere, not least of all the 350 Chinese restaurants to be found.
When it comes to food there is an abundance of choices aside from Chinese with Thai, Japanese and even Italian pushing for more of the dining dollar. There are of course taco stands and restaurants virtually on every street corner, and the quality I have been told is outstanding. American fast food giants have a foothold here as well and the Mexican breakfast is very popular with the locals.
We tried two breakfast places, Chavs and Chalet, and both were quite busy both days and were serving all of the traditional breakfast items where omelets, pancakes and breakfast burritos remain the mainstay. When it came to Chinese food, the City Oriental Buffet remains one of the most popular and quite frankly was very similar to a few I have tried in Los Angeles. We sampled an array of their best dishes such as the garlic shrimp and shredded beef, and as buffets go, it was a very good value.
However if you are into fine dining, then Sibarita is a must visit. Owned by a police officer out of El Centro and open for just a couple of years, this minimalist restaurant is small with only 50 seats, but easily could have been in Venice or West Hollywood, as local artist Pedro Romero is featured and his stunning art really gives the space an edgy atmosphere. Highlights of the five-course meal we enjoyed were a salmon ceviche w/crispy corn tortilla, a balsamic vinaigrette salad w/berries and blue cheese and short ribs in a dark beer sauce served with a green risotto.
If you want to check out a place where artists, bohemians, musicians and poets hang out in Mexicali, then the Slow Down Café is the place to go for a late night cocktail or coffee. This outside patio is a regular hangout for the aforementioned where they can sell their art, and where musicians perform on most nights. Music on offer seems to be New World or Euro Disco style, and don't forget to try the world famous Mexicali Rose cocktail.
Finally the guys at El Sume Bar served up some great British beers and were quite the Anglophiles. A great night was had by all, and El Sume will be one of my first stops on my return to Mexicali next winter for another fun weekend break.

Because we made you wait all the way until Thursday for a steal of the week, we figured we better double-up. So, here are the two best shows of the week for those who only order from the dollar menu.
Lions, Record Hop, Tah-Dahs Double Wide (3510 Commerce St.). 9 p.m. Friday, Oct. 12. $8
OK, so eight bucks may not sound like a steal, but everyone who pays it gets a free copy of the Lions' new CD, No Generation. Rrrrawk (that was s'posed to be a lion roar—sorry, couldn't' help myself). The title cut sounds a little like Jane's Addiction, if those guys weren't such poseurs. In other words, it's totally fun, cool, unaffected riff-heavy rock, but not sludgy, and full of subtle hooks and an intelligence you don't often find in this particular genre. It sucks that this band is from Austin, because I'd love for Dallas to be able to claim the members as native sons.

Support Our Journalism
Bonus: Lions will be preceded by the excellent locals Record Hop and the Tah Dahs. So if you think about it, it's only $2.66 per band, which, given the quality of the bill, is a definite steal.
Timbaland The Palladium (1135 S. Lamar St.). 9 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 13. Free (if you RSVP at ScionEvents.com)
If you're too much of a cheapskate to shell out any ducats for a show, it doesn't come much better than this. Saturday, Timbaland, the man behind some of the most inventive production in hip-hop and pop of the last 10 years (sorry, Dre -- you're up there too) will perform free. What, you say, there's gotta be a catch! Yes, yes there is. You have to log on to the Scion promo Web site and RSVP, which also involves being subjected to a momentary Scion pitch. But, to quote one of Timbaland's best collaborators, Missy Elliott, "if it's worth it, let me work it." It's worth it, so work it ya'll. (Plus, a couple of DC-9's finest will be at the show.) -- Jonanna Widner


text: Christian Benda uses a small chamber orchestra. Strings alone, with a minimum of vibrato, play the framing Ricercars. The first group of canons add in flute, oboe and bassoon; in the second group, the stringed instruments predominate. A harpsichord joins in the first, and the cor anglais and bassoon dolorously share the last (common) solution of the four offered alternative proposals for solving Bach's so-called 'puzzle canon'. The recording is excellent, clear yet with a pleasing bloom, and the result, if a little didactic at times, is undoubtedly fresh.

This post was originally published on July 3, 2017 and updated on September 21, 2020.
Malaysian red palm oil is a rich natural source of alpha- and beta-carotene. These carotenoids are potent antioxidants which help strengthen the body's immune system, and may help reduce the risk of cancer and heart disease. In fact, a study recently demonstrated the inverse relationship between dietary intake of select carotenoids and vitamin C and the risk of lung cancer.
ExcelVite, the leading producer of palm-oil based supplements, released this press release about the study.
A new study reveals protective effects of selected carotenoids and vitamin C against lung cancer risks and growth of different type of carcinoma cells.
In this study, data from a case-control study of lung cancer in Montreal Canada was used to examine the roles of dietary beta-carotene, alpha-carotene, beta-cryptoxanthin, lutein/zeaxanthin, lycopene and vitamin C in lung cancer risks. Dietary information was generated from interviews among 1,105 lung cancer cases and 1,449 population control with subjects' age 35 to 75-year-old. The consumption frequency of 49 fruits and vegetables for 2 years prior to diagnosis or interviews was collected. The estimation of lung cancer risks and dietary intakes of carotenoids and vitamin C, after adjusting for confounding factors was assessed by odd ratios and 95% confidence intervals using logistic and polytomous regression models.
The results show that when compared to low intake of beta-carotene, alpha-carotene, beta-cryptoxanthin, lycopene and vitamin C, subjects with highest intake of aforementioned carotenoids and vitamin C demonstrated reduced risk of lung cancer. High consumption of carotenoids (i.e. beta-carotene, alpha-carotene, beta-cryptoxanthin and lycopene) and vitamin C show statistical lower risk of lung cancer in male heavy smokers and female heavy smokers respectively. Additionally, high intakes of selected carotenoids and vitamin C were shown to associate with decreased development of different carcinoma cells. Carotenoids such as beta-carotene, alpha-carotene, beta-cryptoxanthin, lycopene and vitamin C were linked with decreased progression of squamous cell carcinoma. Alpha-carotene and beta-carotene reduced adenocarcinoma cells development while beta-cryptoxanthin and lycopene show inverse correlation with small cells carcinoma growth.
"Beta-carotene was once thought to be the most potent carotenoid when it was first discovered. However and unfortunately, large human clinical such as the CARET1 and ATBC2 studies showed that supplementation with beta-carotene alone could increase the risk of lung cancer, especially among smokers. These unexpected results caused turmoil in the research and market of beta-carotene as well as the dietary supplement industry. A number of reasons were put forth to explain the results and one of the most compelling reason was that the beta-carotene used in these studies was of synthetic origin and consisted of one single isoform only (100 percent trans form), which is different from the natural mixed carotenes (in both cis- and trans- forms) in carrot, palm fruits and other fruits and vegetables."
"In this current study, it is worthwhile to note that high consumption of dietary natural carotenoids and vitamin C from fruits and vegetables, with a multitude of carotenoid isoforms do not correlate to lung cancer risk. Hence it is believed that dietary supplement of natural mixed-carotenes may help to lower the risk of lung cancer and progression of carcinoma cells, as these carotenoids work synergistically to confer optimum protection and benefits," says CheeYen Lau, ExcelVite nutritionis.
"The bottom line is to take natural carotenoids derived from fruits and vegetable (as found in nature) which are "natural and wholesome" antioxidant and carotenoids. ExcelVite's EVTene is a natural mixed-carotene complex, concentrated from the fruit of oil palm. It contains mainly alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, and an appreciable amount of other carotenoids such as gamma-carotene and lycopene. Another interesting attribute is that the composition of carotenoids in EVTene is similar to that of carrots, thereby providing a bouquet of carotenoids as nature intended," added Lau.

14 minutes into Bones s5 and I'm already annoyed with the B/B push push push push push push.
What happened to the plot, people? What happened to Angela having a life of her own? What happened to Parker and omg. Actual characters that stay in CHARACTER?
I know, I know. I watch this for the same reason I follow Hart Hanson on Twitter, apparently. To get completely pissed off at something I have no control over.
It's a sickness. I admit it.

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection held a meeting about possible locations for a proposed Union monument at Olustee Battlefield Historic State Park, which is located between Lake City and Jacksonville.
The state received a proposal in February from the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War to erect a monument to honor Union officers and soldiers. However, the proposal drew outrage from some. Click here to read the whole story.
What is the latest on this story? Has a decision been made? Will the monument be installed as planned? This event is due to be held next month and I am trying to plan whether or not to attend. My great-great-grandfather fought in the Battle of Olustee and I would like to honor his contribution. Thanks.

A study performed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on behalf of the Buenos Aires Province Secretariat of Environmental Policy (SPA) found that the uranium concentration in 10 of 51 samples taken exceeds 20 micrograms per liter, which is the limit established by the Province. The average concentration in those wells was 26 micrograms, reaching almost 35 micrograms per liter in one case. (Clarín Nov. 12, 2005)

The Argentinian nuclear regulatory authority (ARN ) maintains that (a) the uranium detected was natural rather than enriched uranium, (b) the concentrations found are within the range of values naturally found in the area, (c) the Argentinian standard of 100 µg U/L is appropriate for radiation protection - ignoring the fact that the WHO provisional guideline of 15 µg/L was established for the chemical toxicity of uranium.

After reiterated complaints, the Buenos Aires Province Secretariat of Environmental Policy is planning to investigate if "genetic mutations" exist in residents living near the Centro Atómico Ezeiza. (Diario Uno de Mendoza June 26, 2006)
The Nuclear Regulatory Authority (ARN), through its director Raúl Racana, maintained that the waters of the Buenos Aires agglomeration neighbouring the Nuclear center of Ezeiza, are not contaminated. He assured that there "exists total security for the population" of Ezeiza and the environs.
The position of the ARN was set out to Clarín as a result of a special report published Sunday 19 of July, where it was revealed that the investigation on the possible contamination of the Puelche aquifer with uranium takes up to 9 years of delay. According to a report ordered by the judge of the cause, the aquifers would have received uranium residues of the Nuclear center, becoming a serious risk for approximately one million inhabitants of Ezeiza, Esteban Echeverría and La Matanza.

"Government, through Necsa, shall investigate the viability of developing its own uranium enrichment capabilities and will simultaneously actively seek to acquire established uranium enrichment technologies to ensure security of supply."
"Government, through Necsa shall design a strategy to develop nuclear fuel fabrication capabilities and will in the intervening period actively seek to obtain established fuel fabrication technologies to ensure security of supply."
South Africa is expected to begin enriching uranium by 2017, Nuclear Energy Corporation of South Africa CEO Rob Adam said on June 25, 2007. "It could even be in five years, but definitely in ten years' time," he said. South Africa, which dismantled its nuclear weapons programme during the 1990s, indicated in 2006 that it was considering enriching uranium for peaceful purposes. However, Department of Minerals and Energy director-general Sandile Nogxina stressed that any uranium enrichment taking place in the country would be under government control. A private company could have equity in an enriching initiative, but not a controlling stake, he said. (Mining Weekly June 25, 2007)

The South Australian government has called the nation's first ever royal commission [Commission of Enquiry] on nuclear fuel, raising the prospect of generating nuclear power in Australia and enriching uranium for export.
Calling for a "mature" debate about the uses of uranium and nuclear energy, South Australian Premier Jay Weatherill announced on Sunday (Jan. 8) that the high-level probe would look at "mining, enrichment, energy and storage phases" of the nuclear fuel cycle.

Evening all! You may have noticed a few changes round here in the past couple of days. That's right, I've changed my layout…again! I was really happy with where everything was and the overall layout itself, but I had grown tired of the banner and a few other bits. I think it's nice to have a refresh as it spurs you on to blogging more as you feel more proud of what you've created. It's taken a couple of days and lots of shouting at the screen (html, I hate you) but it's almost there.
I wanted to get a quick post up tonight showing you what I wore today. Outfit pictures were an absolute fail – I did plan on doing a proper shoot out and about like I usually do, but it was bucketing it down and I could barely stand up in the wind. Not a good look! Eventually it calmed down later in the day but no one was free to take pics elsewhere so my back garden with the trusty tripod had to do! I wore a gorgeous new jumper from White Stuff that has the most adorable mustard Peter Pan collar. How very twee!
Jumper – White Stuff*
Jeans – Joni @ Topshop
Jacket – Vintage via Oxfam Originals
Boots – She Likes*
Hat – Primark
Rings – Primark, Portugal, Vintage Fair, Miss Selfridge
Hair Extensions – Dirty Looks*
I styled the jumper with my favourite skinny jeans (that have definitely seen better days. I think it might be time to repurchase!), a pair of chunky boots and my favourite vintage jacket. Normally I would probably wear it with a cute skater skirt for a pretty, fairly smart look, but hey! It's Saturday! I wanted quite a casual look for a relaxed day. I'm sure you'll be seeing it dressed up a little in another blog post soon as it's just too pretty! I thought it was about time I pulled out the extensions again as I'd not worn them for a while, and I love them even more now than I did before (if that's possible). I love the way they look worn with a bobble hat and all the hair pulled to the front. Oh how I wish my hair could be this thick then I would grow it long again! I can only dream…
How would you style my White Stuff jumper? Hope you're all having wonderful weekends!

The Building Bridges program is a unique collaboration founded by SVA and the Zurich University of the Arts, and financed largely by the European Union. Its purpose is to bring American film and performing arts students together with their European counterparts to prepare them for the global world in which they will work.
Program participants have met twice this year: at SVA in New York and at the Zurich University of the Arts. In June, the final meeting of 2013 will take place at New York University's Villa La Pietra in Florence, Italy. Throughout the year, students work in online groups.
Building Bridges makes a remarkable experience possible by incorporating serious international work and study into a very intense professional and academic degree program.
"Building Bridges is an extraordinary gift. As an artist, I now have relationships with collaborators around the world; as an individual, I now have friendships whose foundations are built by these collaborations." –Kat Knight, SVA '13

"Santa is scary 'cause he goes down the chimney."
He doesn't mind mummy getting him gifts but as far as Santa goes, he's staying well clear.
I always buy a few gifts for the children but don't often buy myself Christmas presents however what I do buy for myself at the beginning of every new year, either calender year or school year, is a new diary. I like to think that as each new year approaches I will have lots of fun and interesting meetings or outings to add to it, the truth is many of the pages are filled merely with birthdays, doodles or the odd note about a school I have to attend. My daughter on the other hand has a much busier social life which, for my sanity, I need to start documenting.
My newest diary happens to be one where I can document both my week's plans and the children's weekly plans side by side which gives me the comfort of making sure I don't book a lunch date when I have to rush off and pick up the teen from Beauty and The Beast practice.
|Left hand side for my week, right hand side for everyone else's week
This diary comes courtesy of Mum's Office, which has a range of "beautiful stationary designed for mothers managing and organising family life." The Mum's Diary 2015 I received is of really good quality, it has different sections for important information such as pocket money record, personal information and contacts as well as a section to note your overview for the year. The diary comes in a range of colours and is a nice size to be able to write a brief note for the day yet is still small enough to fit in your handbag.
If you are looking to be more organised for your family life then these diaries are certainly worth a look at.
Better still, if you're not a scrooge like me, you may want to buy one as a gift for one of your mummy friends or family.
I received a complimentary Mum's diary 2015 for the purpose of this review.

stringformat filter allows trailing non-format characters but not leading characters

This filter seems to provide an, intentionally simplified, implementation of python's format strings. I'm not sure what the intent was with this simplification, however it is inconsistent. Due to the requirement that the preceding '%' be left out, one cannot put leading constant characters into the format string (which may be intended). However, one _can_ put trailing constant characters into the format string and it will still work. For instance:
{# fails #} {{ generic_key_type|stringformat:"course/%s.html" }} {# works #} {{ generic_key_type|stringformat:"s/course/index.html" }}
The first way will not work, however the second way will work, which is inconsistent. Either the filter should ensure that no trailing constant characters are used or it should allow both ways. If the intent is to simplify it in some way, then it should consistently not allow either trailing or leading characters. In this case, the name is very misleading as the filter is not equivalent to python's format strings, and I would argue that it should be renamed after the subset of functionality that it is intended to provide.
With its current name, I would argue that it should allow both trailing and leading characters, and the following is an implementation that allows this, and attempts to remain backwards compatible.
def stringformat(value, arg): """ Formats the variable according to the argument, a string formatting specifier. This specifier uses Python string formating syntax with the exception that the leading "%" may be dropped. See http://docs.python.org/lib/typesseq-strings.html for documentation of Python string formatting """ try: return ("%" + str(arg)) % value except (ValueError, TypeError): try: return str(arg) % value except (ValueError, TypeError): return ""

This filter is really more for alternate types of formatting (eg

I'm re-opening this report, as the resolution is not appropriate given the answer that was posted. I respectfully disagree with this being a "wontfix". If this filter
... is really more for alternate types of formatting (eg |stringfilter:".2f") than string concatenation.
Then there is a bug ... Because it does allow for string concatenation. Hence there is a bug to be fixed. Mark it as low priority if you'd like, but it's still a bug. More importantly, I agree with the original poster that if this is the intent, then the filter is mis-named and mis-documented. It needs attention.
The proposed method is no more "magic" than the original implementation, and it _will_ handle the case that you brought up:

Going back to wontfix for the reasons Chris gave originally; the fact that you can, in some situations, accidentally use something in a way that's undocumented and unsupported does not mean we should be fixing bugs for that use.
comment:7 Changed 13 years ago by
but you should fix it so that it can't be used in ways that are undocumented and unsupported. I still find the naming ambiguous and frankly think that a filter should does what it name says, not what the documentation says that it currently does, especially if both have a big overlap as it is now.
So... if
stringformat can't be fixed so that it allows all possible uses (and adding documentation for those, as proposed here), then it probably should be changed in a way that raises an appropriate exception with a meaningful error message, or not?

Tuesday morning the students explored thought-provoking questions about Antigone, such as "What happens when religious duty is opposed to civil law?" and "How should our faith and filial obligations inform our responsibilities as citizens?" Then after lunch they tackled some of the pre-Socratic philosophers, who wondered about the principles of nature. Many students were surprised to find that ancient philosophers were talking about atoms over 20 centuries before the atomic theory was formally developed.
The rest of the day was free for the usual sports games on the athletic field, relaxing at the ponds, and continuing great conversations — returning to some of the lingering questions and debates from class. It is not unusual to see students who began a conversation in the classroom still sitting in the Commons or the residence halls discussing literature or philosophy a few hours later. This is what TACers live for: contemplating the highest things among friends!
Study hall was followed by a well-attended rosary in the Chapel, the quiet and evening twilight complementing the prayerful atmosphere. At about 9:30 p.m., students headed back to their residence halls for the much anticipated parties where they gathered to enjoy food, games, entertainment and fellowship with each other … experiencing residential life much as it is during the year.

Happy National Margarita Day
Anyone who knows me knows I have an unnatural, uncontrollable love for a margarita! Well I'm in heaven today as it is National Margarita Day!
The Wikipedia definition of a margarita is: A Mexican cocktail consisting of tequila mixed with Cointreau or similar orange-flavored liqueur and lime or lemon juice, often served with salt on the glass rim. The drink is served shaken with ice, on the rocks, blended with ice (frozen margarita) or without ice (straight up).
My definition of a margarita is: Pure, divine, heavenly goodness!
I like the original lime flavor and prefer to have it frozen. And if you add in a little lime sherbet when making them, it adds a special creamy twist to this already fantastic concoction.
Celebrate today by making the margarita I love at home. Created by my wife, Mrs. Monk herself!
2 cans of Bacardi lime margarita mixer
1 cup of lime sherbet
2/3 bottle of Corona
2 cups of ice
1 cup (or more) of tequila!
