Edward Manyonge, a 27 years old Artist from Kenya who now specializes on modern art, studied Graphic design at one of the prestigious local Art schools in Kenya from 2004 to 2006 at the Buru Buru Institute of Fine Arts in Nairobi, and is still practicing till date.
He started teaching Art Design and Technology at the Turkish Light Academy from 2007 to 2009, then went to Braeburn Garden Estate where he was teaching Design and Photography from 2010 October till end of 2011. From a brush he borrowed from a friend, Edward Manyonge of Print Alive Agencies has gone on to produce some of the greatest works of art to top local artists and groups including Sauti Sol, Stl, Dj Ck, Eve De'Souza, Dj Style, just to mention but a few.
Mark Mdoda found out what he has been up to ever since.
When and how did you first become interested in Art? How long have you been painting?
When I was growing up, I had a keen interest in drawing cartoons/comics, and my parents really supported me with all the resources that I needed which motivated me a lot. I have been painting since High School.
What are your painting influences?
My influence comes from beauty, fashion and good music.
Does anyone in your family paint?
Actually, no one in my family does, but they have a keen follow up on all the pieces that I produce.
What else do you do besides painting?
I am the creative director for Print Alive Agencies. I also do a lot of consultancy for safari to my foreign friends who often come down to Kenya for vacations, something that I really enjoy.
How do you manage all this?
With proper time management and hard work, everything is possible.
What is your plan for the Art you are doing now for 2012?
I am working on a project with a Real Estate developer to be furnishing the apartment with my art which I am so looking forward to.
What is it about the way your style of painting that makes it different to the other artists?
I have worked so hard to be different from other artists styles, which hasn't been easy but with my consistency, I have managed to keep and maintain the style hence it's easy to notice my painting with ought my signature.
What challenges have you faced so far?
Mostly it has been the market but with a lot of marketing the business is finally picking and doing well as now I am targeting the overseas market with the help of my friends around the world.

What the old philosophers called the association of ideas is a curious thing. My father died last Friday — on his and my mother's fifty-fifth wedding anniversary — and we buried him on Monday, in a windy hilltop cemetery in Hanceville, Alabama. The next day, as Barack Obama was taking (for the first of two times) the oath of his office as President of the United States, I was standing with my mother on that hilltop, in the sun and uncharacteristic cold, with the wind again snapping the hems of our coats. She picked a few flowers off the grave to take home, and then we, along with my wife and son, went to have lunch down the road at Top Hat Barbeque, which sits by itself on a beautiful wooded winding stretch of U. S. Highway 31. We ate and talked for a while, oblivious to the ceremonies in Washington, and then we went home.
So from now on, when people talk about that memorable Inauguration, no images of President Obama will appear before me. Instead, my mind will cast itself back to the open hillside, my lips chapping in the wind, my mother's huddled figure beside the grave, and the taste of meat cooked over a hickory fire.

I continue to be amazed by the humility of God in the storyline of Scripture. God persistently comes low to engage his creatures. His chosen vehicles of self-disclosure are always understandable and meaningful to humanity. Whether he is walking in the garden with Adam and Eve, wrestling with Jacob in human form, or having a conversation with Moses face to face, God's revelatory activity is marked by condescension.
This is not surprising as humility is fundamental to the life of the Triune community. It is the warp and woof, the lifeblood, indeed, the cardinal principal that orders the life of God. God the Father, Son, and Spirit are equally humble in their engagement with one another. Every exchange among the three persons is executed with a posture of humility. God's life is a dance of three persons striving to outdo one another in honor. When the Triune God engages the world we would expect to see the same thing, and we do.
The manner of revelatory activity in the Old Testament prepares the reader for a humble Christ. The larger canonical context leads us to read the incarnation as "normative" divine activity. In many ways, the incarnation is the logical next step in the Triune God's self-disclosure. Don't misunderstand me, the incarnation is astonishing and overwhelming. My point is that incarnation should not be considered "abnormal" activity for the humble Creator. It is consistent with who God is and how he has revealed himself throughout redemptive history.
The incarnation serves to reinforce and deepen our understanding of the humility of God. It serves as a link to all past revelation and yet is a clear and drastic move forward in God's self-disclosure. God the Son permanently takes to himself humanity. The life of God can never be the same! The more God shows us himself the more overwhelmed we become by the depth of his humility.
The humility of the incarnation prepares the way for the humility of the cross. N.T. Wright captures the trajectory of the thought we have been tracing as he talks about the cross. God does not show us something new about himself, He simply continues to show us who He is.
"God became on the cross what God always was. I may have it in me, in ability and desire, to climb Mount Everest; but until I actually go into training and do it it remains latent. You may have it in you to be a brilliant concert pianist; but until you get down to practice and performance, all that brilliance remains latent. God always was the God of love—generous, spontaneous, free and cheerful self-giving love; but until God, if we dare put it like this, gets down to practice and performance, that love at its deepest level remains latent. On the cross God performs the score composed before the foundation of the world. On the cross God at last scales the highest peaks. It isn't just that the cross reveals God's love in its most striking way. It reveals it because it enacts it. It becomes part of, indeed the most central part of, the personal history of God…And now, to all eternity, the cross remains at the heart of God, stands as the truest symbol of God, offers the most exact and precise exposition of God."

Here Martin first states no grand conspiracy theory but then goes on to describe in great detail his own dealings with the "club." While I agree with Martin that many who just can't understand what's happening have to put a label on it, like "conspiracy," I also see that all the manipulations add up and do get out of control. Goldman, while maybe not intentionally setting out to indebt the world, or JPM not setting out to be the world's largest holder of derivatives have, in fact done so. They now permeate the world with their debt and toxic derivatives. Conspiracy or accidental idiots, the end result is the same.
The bottom line from my perspective is who and when do reasonable men step in to place limits on their activities?

Tri-County Electric People Fund
Tri-County Electric People Fund
We created the Tri-County People Fund in 1993; it's made possible by members who allow us to "round up" their monthly energy bills to the next dollar. Over $2,200,000 has been granted to families and organizations with special needs since January 1993.
Every penny donated by HomeWorks members and customers is put to good use in community projects. The administrative costs to run the People Fund are small, and are paid by HomeWorks Tri-County Electric as our contribution.
What happens when you participate in Operation Round Up? Let's say your monthly bill comes to $77.56. We'll round it up to the nearest dollar, in this case it would be $78.00. The extra 44 cents goes directly to the Tri-County People Fund. The average round-up for each meter is just 50 cents a month - about the cost of one daily paper or a cup of coffee.
Each month, your bill shows an amount listed for Operation Round Up, and your bill will include the extra few cents to show an even dollar amount. In January and February of the following year, your total annual contribution will be listed on your energy bill for tax purposes, since these are tax-deductible contributions.
Nearly 50% of all Tri-County Cooperative members and customers participate in Operation Round Up.
We'll keep you informed about projects chosen for funding through Country Lines magazine, your local newspapers, and this webpage.
Three Ways To Opt In (or opt out)
Thanks for your interest in helping us give back to the communities we serve! You can learn more about Operation Round Up here. There are three ways that you can let us know you would like to participate in the program or discontinue your support.

Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner hosted President Michael D Higgins at the government mansion as part of Mr Higgins' two-week South American tour.
The President began his Latin American trip in Chile, where he met President Sebastian Pinera.
He then travelled to Brazil to meet President Dilma Rousseff and her predecessor, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
Talks with the South American leaders have centred on boosting trade and tourism to Ireland.
In between meetings with heads of state, President Higgins visited members of the Irish diaspora to pay tribute to Irish immigrants.
He has also presented papers criticising unregulated trade.
As a demonstration of the two countries' historic ties, Mrs Kirchner gave Mr Higgins jerseys from local football clubs named in honour of Admiral Guillermo Brown, the first Irish-born, nationalised Argentine admiral in Argentina's navy.

'But I thought we were coming to the Highlands!' she replied indignantly.
Perhaps she thought that the Highlands, along with the laws of physics, should be suspended a little for the benefit of tourists!
But the question as to what constitutes the Highlands is not a straightforward one.
Many historians have drawn lines on a map of Scotland (often called Lalland lines), showing the Highlands on one side, the Lowlands on the other. The problem is that any such line must include as part of the English speaking Lowlands all of the coastal strip north of Aberdeen. This coastal strip ultimately arrives at Inverness, capital of the Highlands and so begs the question of where the dividing line should be drawn.
When James VI of Scotland became James I of England he remarked playfully to his English courtiers that he had a town in Scotland so large that people at one end could not understand those at the other since they had a different tongue. That town was Nairn, 16 miles east of Inverness. A Gaelic-speaking market town, Nairn had seen an influx of English-speaking fisherfolk who had spread round the coast from Aberdeen. So Nairn has traditionally been considered the dividing line. But of course it is not as simple as that.
Last week I gave a lecture on the Campbells of Cawdor, an influential Nairnshire family whose castle is between Nairn and Inverness. Whilst researching, I was amused to come on the following quotation from 1691 in a letter by Sir Hugh Campbell, 15th Thane of Cawdor - and, you would certainly think, a Highlander... "Just upon the back of this there came two or three parties of Hielanders, one of them carried away above an hundred head of cattle out of Aitnoch. The people were secure and without fear; in short they were surprised and the cattle were carried into Lochaber."
Lochaber. Now THAT's definitely the Highlands. Despite much of it being at sea level!

Look for the dog with Frisbee to appear soon!
January 30th, 2017
Still loving the canines and felines of "Kinda Pawsome" and "Feline Good" from The Project Bin! One of the best parts of these images is that they can be personalized for a specific recipient and cut out lickety-split with the dies that come with each set.. And the sentiments, The Project Bin's hallmark, are funny as heck!
After coloring the animals, I went back over the eyes and noses with a Glaze pen to give them some dimension and shine. I also added a ball to the dog on the tag to the right. Originally, it was going to be a Frisbee, but I couldn't find the right circle die, so a ball it was! If you look carefully, you can see where I slit the area under its muzzle and popped it up with some dimensional tape.
Look for the dog with Frisbee to appear soon!

Inform bowler Saeed Ajmal attacks to move Pakistan into dominating position after day two of Test against South Africa.
Off-spinner Saeed Ajmal took all five wickets as Pakistan finished on top on the second day of the second Test against South Africa at Newlands on Friday.
South Africa were struggling at 139 for five at the close, still 199 runs behind Pakistan's first innings of 338. Ajmal took five for 41.
Three of Ajmal's wickets came after the use of the decision review system, including a controversial dismissal of star South African batsman Jacques Kallis.
South African captain Graeme Smith and Hashim Amla were both out leg before wicket after being given not out by umpire Steve Davis.
Kallis was given out caught at short leg and immediately called for a review, which showed that the ball had not touched his bat before looping off his pad to the fielder.
But he was then given out leg before on the advice of television umpire Billy Bowden, although replays showed the ball was only brushing the outside of his leg stump, in the area known as "umpire's call".
Kallis was clearly shocked and stood at the wicket seeking clarity before reluctantly returning to the pavilion.
It was not clear what the conversation between Davis and Bowden had been and on what basis Kallis was given out on what was a marginal call.
Amazing Ajmal
Controversy apart, it was a superb display of bowling by Ajmal, who bowled 25 overs unchanged into a stiff south-easterly wind, varying his flight and mixing off-spin with cleverly disguised top spinners and "doosras" which turned away from the right-handed batsmen.
It was a productive day for Ajmal, who helped fellow tailender Tanvir Ahmed put on 64 for the ninth wicket to take Pakistan comfortably past the 300 mark.
Their eventual total seemed unlikely when Vernon Philander took three wickets in his first three overs to reduce the tourists to 268 for eight.
Ajmal came on to bowl after 11 overs had been bowled in South Africa's innings and struck with his ninth delivery, Smith missed a sweep and Pakistan successfully sought a review.
Two overs later Ajmal had Alviro Petersen smartly caught at short leg by Azhar Ali, who dived to his right to hold a sharp chance.
At tea, Ajmal had taken two for 20.
Amla went back on his stumps and was also given out on review before Kallis was dismissed.
He was followed by Faf du Plessis, caught at slip off a "doosra" for South Africa's highest score of 28.
AB de Villiers and Dean Elgar survived until the close.
Morkel exit
Pakistan batted until lunch after resuming at 253 for five, although Philander's early strikes raised the home side's hopes of wrapping up the innings quickly.
Philander, who took five for 59, struck with his first ball of the day when Asad Shafiq was caught at first slip without adding to his overnight score of 111. Shafiq batted for 308 minutes and faced 230 balls.
Sarfraz Ahmed, the other overnight batsman, fell for 13 in Philander's next over when Petersen dived full length to his right to hold a good catch at third slip.
Umar Gul was leg before wicket without scoring as Philander completed his ninth five-wicket haul in Test matches.
But Tanvir and Ajmal went for their strokes, with Tanvir in particular hitting out aggressively as he made 44 off 59 balls with four fours, while Ajmal made 21 not out.
South Africa suffered a blow when fast bowler Morne Morkel left the field after bowling three balls of his 21st over with what was described as a tight left hamstring.
Tanvir fell shortly before lunch when he hit left-arm spinner Robin Peterson to Philander at deep mid-off, with last man Mohammad Irfan following in the next over when he was bowled by Peterson, going for a big hit.

Since the 1952 publication of Norman Vincent Peale's book The Power of Positive Thinking, there's been a market for promoting positive thinking in the self-help circuit. It does make sense, and science backs it up: when we focus on engaging with our positive thoughts, we are less stressed and improve our health. The more we engage with positive thinking, the more it leads to positive actions in our lives.
We are marketed positive thinking as a way to increase our overall happiness in life. The issue is that happiness gets conflated with satisfaction. What we are truly seeking is total satisfaction with our lives, whereas happiness becomes a byproduct from that satisfaction. We can achieve joy, and therefore, happiness when we begin to shift our mindset from mostly negative to mostly positive.
To begin this process, we must self-reflect and be open to rewiring our brain to be receptive to positive experiences and thoughts.
Positive Thinking = Healthy Mindset
So positive thinking, what is that anyway?
The theory is this: if we start to incorporate more positive thoughts in our daily lives, we engage in a healthier mindset. Once we have a healthier mindset, we engage in more positive behaviors.
Anecdotally: when I started viewing myself with a positive perspective, I found I was open to doing positive things for myself. I have a hard time accepting myself as a decent person, but once I stopped thinking of myself as a bad person, I was more willing to eat healthier. I started to make healthier decisions regarding exercise. I decreased my desire for self-destructive behaviors. The idea of making healthy decisions became palatable because I finally felt like I was worthy of the effort.
It all stemmed from the moment I chose to engage with positive thinking.
Healthy Mindset Leads to Healthy Actions
The science is there: when a person develops a positive mindset, they are more inclined to engage in healthy behavior. You are more prone to go to the doctor to treat an exacerbation of an ailment you might have ignored. You re-prioritize your thoughts, choosing not to get distracted by things out of your control. You may even decide to reconfigure who you spend your time with, opting to be with people who leave you feeling good about yourself, rather than those who are toxic.
To be clear, this isn't saying we take on a Pollyanna perspective and only view the good out there. We still acknowledge the negative and yet get caught in the negative thought cycle, but we spend less time in the negativity.
For those of us who spent a lot of time in the negativity, incorporating more positive thoughts is not a 180-degree turn, but a chance to be more centered in our thoughts. Be realistic, but also choose to be more positive in our realism.
Engaging with Positivity More
Find ways to think of yourself in a positive light. Celebrate your life as much as possible. Did you let someone in front of you in line today? How did that make you feel when you brightened their day, even for a moment? Engage in those good feelings you get when you do something positive.
Often we look to others to be our cheerleaders, our parents, friends, coworkers, and sometimes strangers. But the biggest cheerleader in our lives has to be ourselves. External validation is nice to have, but its the internal validation that's more important. If you let that person in front of you in line and they didn't acknowledge it, that's okay. You didn't do it for their validation or gratitude. You did it for yourself. If you feel good about doing it, who cares how others react?
Praise yourself for the moments you did something that makes you feel good. Don't look around for others to do it. Engage with your positive thinking and positive actions as often as possible.
It will be gradual, but you'll find that after some time, your actions will begin to reflect your positive thinking. Your feeling of self-satisfaction and its byproduct of happiness will increase as well.

Day 49/Week 49: 1 Corinthians 1-2 and 13 (Paul's Writings on Living, Loving Like Jesus)
What stood out to you?
What questions did the story raise?
What is your impression of God in this story?
Who are the characters?
1 Corinthians 1-2 and 13 (Paul's Writings on Living, Loving Like Jesus)
1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,
2 To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be his holy people, together with all those everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ—their Lord and ours:
3 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 I always thank my God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. 5 For in him you have been enriched in every way—with all kinds of speech and with all knowledge— 6 God thus confirming our testimony about Christ among you. 7 Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed. 8 He will also keep you firm to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
A Church Divided Over Leaders
10 I appeal to you, brothers and sisters,[a] in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought. 11 My brothers and sisters, some from Chloe's household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. 12 What I mean is this: One of you says, "I follow Paul"; another, "I follow Apollos"; another, "I follow Cephas[b]"; still another, "I follow Christ."
13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized in the name of Paul?14 I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius, 15 so no one can say that you were baptized in my name. 16 (Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I don't remember if I baptized anyone else.) 17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with wisdom and eloquence, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.
Christ Crucified Is God's Power and Wisdom
18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written:
"I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate."[c]
20 Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. 22 Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24 but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.
26 Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth.27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28 God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, 29 so that no one may boast before him. 30 It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.31 Therefore, as it is written: "Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord."[d]
2 And so it was with me, brothers and sisters. When I came to you, I did not come with eloquence or human wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God.[e] 2 For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3 I came to you in weakness with great fear and trembling. 4 My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power,5 so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God's power.
God's Wisdom Revealed by the Spirit
6 We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. 7 No, we declare God's wisdom, a mystery that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. 8 None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 However, as it is written:
"What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived"[f]— the things God has prepared for those who love him—
10 these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit.
The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. 11 For who knows a person's thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 What we have received is not the spirit of the world,but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us.13 This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words.[g] 14 The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit. 15 The person with the Spirit makes judgments about all things, but such a person is not subject to merely human judgments, 16 for,
"Who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?"[h]
But we have the mind of Christ.
13 If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[b] but do not have love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Do you eat your five fruits and vegetables a day? Do you take vitamins and suppliments?
Many of the things that prevent and reverse diease and chronic problems can be resolved with proper food, vitamins and suppliments. Navigating through the many diets and suppliments can be a challenge. In my nearly 20 years of being a health care provider I always recomend the best for my clients. I've found the best suppliment and vitamine combination in Life Long Vitality by Doterra. This complex can reduce or elliminate most of the suppliments that you alredy take, while also provide the daily full dose of fruits, vegitables, vitamins, minerals and omega oils. What makes this different is that the formula is based on essential oils. Beacause of this, the delivery of the nutrients can penetrate directly into each cell of the body and because its bassed on essential oils it has added theraputic effects that can treat a variety of ailments and disease. Can the vitamines you take now help your blood pressure, diabetes, stress, anxiety, digestive problems, insomnia and infertiliity? these suppliments can and more. Here are some of the clinical benifits.

February 16, 2012 from WPLN
In a fluorescent-lit exam room, Col. Rochelle Wasserman sticks ballpoint-size pins in the ears of Sgt. Rick Remalia.
Remalia broke his back, hip and pelvis during a rollover caused by a pair of rocket-propelled grenades in Afghanistan. He still walks with a cane and suffers from mild traumatic brain injury. Pain is an everyday occurrence, which is where the needles come in.
"I've had a lot of treatment, and this is the first treatment that I've had where I've been like, OK, wow, I've actually seen a really big difference," he says.
'Let's Give It A Shot'
Army doctors have been told by the top brass to rethink their "pill for every ill" approach to treating pain. For the 47,000 troops who've been wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan, some of the new options include less tried and true methods, like massage and chiropractic treatments. The military hopes to win over skeptics, many of them in uniform.
Wasserman is the top doctor for the Warrior Transition Battalion at Fort Campbell, Ky. To her own surprise, she's also now the unit's physician trained to do acupuncture.
"I actually had a demonstration of acupuncture on me, and I'm not a spring chicken," she says, "and it didn't make me 16 again, but it certainly did make me feel better than I had, so I figured, hey ... let's give it a shot with our soldiers here."
In recent years, military doctors have turned to acupuncture in special pain clinics and for troops in battle zones. Last year, the Army surgeon general began making the alternative treatments more widely available.
Remalia says his headaches have disappeared, and he's relying less on his cabinet full of pain medication. To Col. Kevin Galloway, that's mission accomplished. He's in charge of carrying out recommendations from the Army's Pain Management Task Force, which focused heavily on unconventional therapies.
"You can throw fairly cheap pharmaceuticals at the problem now and push the problem to someone else later if you're not really working on what the genesis of the pain is," he says.
Galloway says if soldiers get hooked on high-powered painkillers, the Department of Veterans Affairs may be dealing with the side effects for decades to come. Already, at least 40 percent of veterans entering the VA system are coping with pain.
'Quack-Ademic' Medicine
New academic studies from places like Duke University back up acupuncture as an alternative to medication.
But Harriet Hall, a former Air Force flight surgeon, shares the skepticism found in many corners of the medical community.
"We call that 'quack-ademic' medicine when it gets into medical schools," she says.
The way she reads the science, acupuncture does no more than a sugar pill. To offer a placebo, she says, is unethical.
"The military has led the way on trauma care and things like that, but the idea that putting needles in somebody's ear is going to substitute for things like morphine is just ridiculous," Hall says.
A Chance At Normalcy
As some top medical officers put it, though, there's nothing like pain to make someone open-minded. Staff Sgt. Jermaine Louis says he's tried it all.
"Physical therapy, occupational therapy, PTSD group, anger group, stress group ... everything," he says.
Louis is trying to overcome a traumatic brain injury that followed him home from Iraq five years ago. He's still dependent on medication, and the soon-to-retire infantryman says he's scared.
"[Scared] that I have to be on it for the rest of my life and [that] I will get accustomed just to taking them, and I don't want to be that way," Louis says. "I want to be normal like everybody else."
But if being normal depends on regular acupuncture treatments, the Defense Department has more convincing to do. TRICARE — the military's own health plan for service members and retirees — still doesn't cover acupuncture.

Anxiety and Acupuncture
Many people struggle with anxiety, a persistent feeling of dread, apprehension and impending disaster or tension and uneasiness, often experiencing a constant chatter in their heads. This makes it difficult to relax and to deal with stressful situations. This can also lead to insomniaand low energy. Anxiety can be a constant struggle, the brain never turns off and every reaction can trigger a fight or flight response. This has become more of a problem in the modern age with more work and less relaxation.
How can Acupuncture Help?
Acupuncture helps to relieve anxiety and stress by causing brainwaves to change to the relaxation and meditative wave frequency. Acupuncture also helps the brain to release Melatonin dopamine and other neuro-chemicals resulting in a feeling of relaxation and well being.
What to Expect
After the acupuncture needles are strategically placed painlessly into the skin, usually about 10-15 minutes later a sense of deep relaxation begins to take over. As you become more relaxed you may begin to daydream or fall asleep. During the treatment your sympathetic nervous system will start to rebalance. During anxiety, it is the sympathetic nervous system that reacts with a fight or flight response. By resetting this response your brain will not respond to situations with the same amount of apprehension or stress.
After and during the treatment you should feel immediate relaxation and a sense of calm peacefulness. This new calm feeling may last around three days to a week and gradually diminish. It is usually suggested to return weekly for a few sessions so that the effects last longer over time.

Weight loss Acupuncture and Chinese Herbology
The struggle to loose weight is a long and difficult battle and everyone in this fight could use some extra help. Many people have changed their diets and started exercise routines but the results just haven't been enough or have come too slow. For an extra boost try Acupuncture and Chinese Herbology.
How does Acupuncture help weight loss?
Acupuncture helps by reducing appetite, curbing cravings, increasing metabolism, improving digestion, regulating hormones that cause obesity and fat production, and by allowing the body to absorb nutrients from food more efficiently.
Research has shown that acupuncture significantly helps in weight loss. A 2003 study shows that people who received acupuncture lost three times more weight than the control group.
Another study shows that 95% of people receiving acupuncture experienced appetite reduction which leads to weight loss.
Acupuncture has been shown to decrease ghrelin, a hormone that controls hunger and decreased leptin, the hormone that regulates fat storage and metabolism.
There are many reasons why people become overweight - hormone imbalances, slowed metabolism, overeating, poor nutrition and lack of exercise are some of the most common. Acupuncture provides a method to treat all of these problems simultaneously with no side effects. Acupuncture also helps with emotions and calms the mind and spirit.
Weight loss and Chinese Herbology
Chinese Herbal formulas are a safe and effective way to achieve significant weight loss with no side effects. The herbal formulas used help in digestion, boosting metabolism, improve elimination and by enhancing the body's ability to transform food into energy more efficiently.
The main herbal formula used is a blend of seven Chinese herbs. These herbs aid in the digestion of meat, fat, alcohol, rice, vinegar, and starch. They also reduce cholesterol and curb food cravings and reduce appetite. In my clinical experience most people loose 2 pounds per week.

Acupuncture for infertility
In my practice I have treated many people for infertility.Most people who seek out acupuncture for infertility are women but I have also treated men and couples. Acupuncture is also very effective on the day of embryo transfer during IVF. In this posting I will focus on Acupuncture for women experiencing infertility.
Acupuncture works in many ways, with infertility there are afew strategic things that acupuncture helps with.
The first is hormone balance. Acupuncture is believed to send signals to the brain, with infertility acupuncture sends a message to the brain and resets the hormone levels to their normal and natural state. Among these hormones are luteinizing hormone (LH) and its partner, follicle stimulating hormone(FSH).
The second area of focus is Ovulation. I have observed that many women are unaware of their exact ovulation time. Being unaware of the ovulation time may cause a couple to miss the window of opportunity for fertilization. I have also seen that many women do not ovulate or may only ovulate on one side. This can reduce your success rate by 50%. Acupuncture promotes circulation of energy and blood and can help unblock the fallopian tubes so ovulation is viable.
The third area of focus is relaxation. The pressure and worry of infertility can be very stressful to both partners. Acupuncture provides a moment of relaxation to help reduce the stress and pressure. This is emotionally beneficial to both partners and allows nature to take its course but stress is also physically detrimental. Stress hormones can inhibit other hormones that are necessary for optimal fertility and stress can obstruct the flow of Qi/energy and blood altering the menstrual cycle and ovulation.
Acupuncture is a safe and relatively inexpensive option to those looking for help with infertility. In my practice I have had great results and find that there is success after 4 to 6 normal menstrual cycles. Results vary depending on age, menstrual history and physical problems.
Here is some research from NIH on studies of acupuncture and infertility.

In the Five Element Chinese system, spring is a time to nourish the liver and gallbladder organs. These organs do many helpful things for our health including filtering toxins from the external environment and our food, as well as assisting in the breaking down of fats in the body. In general, winter is a time when the liver and gallbladder get overloaded, especially in our culture that emphasizes extra socializing, large meals and decreased exercise during the dark winter months. To restore balance after winter and begin your spring cleanse, these Yin poses channel liver chi through the inner legs and gallbladder chi through the outer leg meridians.

Acupuncture is a natural, safe, inexpensive and relaxing treatment for many common problems that occur with pregnancy. Most pharmaceuticals are contraindicated during pregnancy and many expecting mothers wish to use natural ways to deal with issues that arise during this time.
For thousands of years Acupuncture and herbology have been used to promote a happy, healthy and comfortable pregnancy.
Special acupuncture points can insure a healthy mom duringthe different stages of gestation and at the same time prevent toxins from flowing from the mother to the fetus. This is an ancient traditional acupuncture prescription known as "the beautiful baby points," and are believed to help calm anxiety and stress and tonify the blood of the mother while increasing the immunity of the fetus.
Acupuncture can also be used during pregnancy to treat pre-existing conditions of the mother these include emotional issues, stress,fatigue, headaches, migraines, pain and many other conditions.
The Journal of the American Medical Association reports that Moxabustion corrects Breech Presentation by stimulating fetal movement. Moxabustion is a traditional Chinese Medical technique that uses the dry herb mugwort which is burned over acupoints. The heat generated from the burning herb stimulates the point and increases fetal movement.
Prenatal Conditions Treated With Acupuncture
For induction of labor, Acupuncture is a natural and safe option for expecting mothers who seek a natural child birth and wish to avoid toxic medication that can be passed along to the baby. Acupuncture causes the release of the bodie's own hormones oxytocin and prostaglandins that cause uterine contractions and dilation of the cervix.
Acupuncture during labor and delivery can help relaxation and relieve pain while shortening overall labortime. During labor special Acupuncture points are used that release prostaglandinsand oxytocin which increase dilation of the cervix and uterine contractions shortening time spent in labor. This can significantly reduce pain.
General treatment plan for pregnancy
During the first trimester Acupuncture is used to stabilize the fetus to prevent miscarriage and to treat morning sickness and fatigue.
Acupuncture during the second trimester focuses on relieving discomfort and pain. Treatments also focus on promoting relaxation and relieving stress while treating any complications or preexisting conditions.
During the final trimester Acupuncture prepares the body for birth by boosting immunity and relieving stress. At this time treatment for breach presentation and induction of labor can be done.

Breech presentation is when the baby's head fails to descend into the pelvis. Usually by 36 weeks the baby begins to turn in preparation for delivery, three to four percent of baby's remain feet down and do not turn There are several methods used to induce the right position and Acupuncture andMoxabustion are a safe, effective, fast and comfortable choice for the expecting mother and soon to be born baby.
Acupuncture and Moxabustion stimulate a special point located next to the nail of the small toe. This point is believed to release hormones that signal the fetus to move to the proper head down position.
Acupuncture and Moxabustion have a 75% success rate and it usually takes one to four treatments. In my practice the results have been immediate. After applying the needles the expecting mothers felt the baby move and a slight pulling pressure in the pelvis. Sonograms 24 hours after the treatment revealed that the baby's had all moved to the correct position for birth.
Here you will find a link to research on the efficacy of Acupuncture and Moxabustion for Breech Presentation.

Updated Sunday at 4:25 p.m. --
California Governor Jerry Brown acted on more than 100 of the bills remaining on his desk this weekend.
The governor signed a measure that requires landlords to inform tenants about how to watch out for bed bugs. Another approved measure requires the state Denti-Cal program to simplify what dentists have complained is needlessly complex paperwork to enroll in the program.
The governor vetoed five bills on Sunday that he called an end run around the budget process. Among other things, they would have added a diaper benefit for welfare recipients with young children and increased payments to blind and disabled seniors.
Brown also rejected having the state pay the local emergency costs from the San Bernardino shooting, which he said would set a bad precedent, despite the tragedy.
The governor still has more than 300 bills remaining on his desk, and the rest of the week to act on them.
Original post -- Gov. Jerry Brown has signed a bill allowing for CPR training to become a high school graduation requirement and a bill that allows good Samaritans to break into unattended hot cars to rescue animals.
Meanwhile, he rejected a bill that would have made changes to California's school accountability system.
The CPR in Schools legislation would require schools to teach students hands-on CPR and how to use an automated external defibrillator. The law will go into effect during the 2018-2019 school year.
The legislation on CPR education and the right to rescue animals in a hot vehicle were among the nearly 50 bills Brown signed on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Brown vetoed a dozen other bills including AB 2548, which would have made changes to CA's school accountability system. Education reformers lobbied heavily for the bill's passage.
In his veto message, Brown said the bill would impose new requirements for the accountability system that's already been developed by the state's department of education.

Previous Challenge Entry (Level 4 – Masters)
Topic: Police (10/12/06)
TITLE: BUSTED! | Previous Challenge Entry
By Lynda Lee Schab
Carl glanced around nervously, searching for familiar faces; there were none, which wasn't surprising since it was the middle of the night. He let out a sigh of relief, feeling his gut press against his tightening waist band. Carl thought back to his days in the academy when his abs were rock-hard and his biceps bulged around his shirt sleeves. Now, twenty years later, he was completely out of shape. Besides that, the lines around his eyes revealed his weariness and his gray hair evidence of the stress he dealt with every day.
It wasn't easy being a cop.
That's why he had come. He was tired. Tired of being the good guy. Tired of doing the right thing all the time. Just once, he wanted to break the rules.
Carl tried to push the guilt away. That past Sunday his pastor had spoken about doing the right thing, especially when no one was watching. And here he was, sneaking around like the criminals he put away every day.
Well, he was there now. He'd deal with the guilt later. His main concern at the moment was not getting caught. If he got busted...Carl shuddered at the thought. He didn't want to think about it.
Carl slowly and nonchalantly walked up to the Snitch, who slid the pictures across the table and gave a knowing smile. Carl noted something brown between his teeth.
"Pete," Carl said with a nod.
"Hey, Carl."
Carl was usually the one asking the questions but today the Snitch would do the interrogating.
"Tall or short?" Pete asked, keeping his voice low.
"Definitely tall."
"Black or white?"
"Okay," said Pete. "That takes care of the basics. Look 'em over and let me know which one. I'll take care of it for you." Pete sauntered away.
Carl rested his head in his hands. Did he really want to do this? If he gave Pete the OK, there would be no turning back. His eyes rested on one particular photo. That was the one. The one that had invaded his thoughts for the past two weeks. If Carl didn't do it, he might go crazy! Breaking the rules would be worth preserving his sanity.
Carl motioned to Pete, who returned to the table. Beads of sweat formed above Carl's lip as he pointed to the one. Pete nodded.
"Ya sure?" Pete asked.
This was his chance to back out. His last chance to do the right thing.
"I'm sure." Carl slid the cash across the table and Pete scooped it up.
Ten minutes later, Carl leaned back in his chair. He felt guilty but satisfied with his decision.
Suddenly, Pete called out to him from across the room. "The Rose is blooming!"
Carl looked up and twisted his head toward the door. His wife, Rose! Carl turned and glared at Pete. Some snitch he was! He was supposed to keep an eye out for her car. Now it was too late. She was walking in the door and Carl was busted!
Rose furrowed her brow and marched over to where Carl was sitting.
"Carl Arthur Davis! What on earth are you doing here?"
"I – I just stopped to say hi to Pete, Hon." Carl attempted a smile.
"Good try." Rose reached out her finger and ran it across Carl's chin. "And I suppose you're going to tell me this is spit on your chin and not whipped cream, am I right?"
"Well…I…uh…" Carl knew he should have used that napkin!
Rose sighed. "Geesh, Carl, it hasn't even been three weeks since you started that diet and you're off sneaking out in the middle of the night. You aint gonna lose weight by eating chocolate donuts and drinking grande white chocolate lattes, ya know. It's called resisting temptation. Didn't ya hear the preacher on Sunday?"
Carl looked at Pete, who shrugged his shoulders. "Sorry, Carl."
"You're fired!" Carl said between clenched teeth to his Snitch as Rose pulled him toward the door.
His wife didn't understand. He resisting donut shops was like she resisting the mall. It just wasn't realistic!
Nope, it sure wasn't easy being a cop.

CHIANG RAI, THAILAND — Infection control at its best. Everything being done to isolate them. An incredible rescue and heart-warming story for all. Well done Thailand Public Health Ministry.
When will we see this in Australian hospital? Where? Hospitals do not isolate patients with deadly infections such as C.difficile, MRSA, VRE, MSSA…. you name it, they are mixed with other patients unaware the patient next to them recovering from surgery can be exposed to golden staph from the next patient. The number of patients who are discharged and never know they have acquired these deadly infections until they end up back in hospital and wonder how.

- The Albury conferences were a series of private religious discussions among a small group of British Protestants between 1826 and 1830. They helped develop ideas that contributed to the pre-millenial and Pentecostal movements.In December 1826, Presbyterian minister Edward Irving (1792-1834), the pastor of the Scottish congregation in London, opened his home at Albury Park, a village in rural Surrey, to a group of some 20 individuals for an extended discussion of Christian eschatology. Included in the select coterie were Rev. Lewis Way, one of the founders of the London Society for the Promotion of Christianity. Among the Jews, Joseph Frey, one of its missionaries, Rev. Hugh McNeile, an Anglican who had written a book on prophecy, and banker Henry Drummond (1786-1860), not to be confused with his later contemporary of the same name who lectured on science and religion.These conferences were held annually until 1830, by which time Irving had published a number of books, including several on prophetic issues: For Judgment to Come (1823) and Babylon and Infidelity Foredoomed (1826). His multivolume collection of Sermons, Lectures and Occasional Discourses appeared in 1828, and a new Exposition of the Book of Revelation three years later. As his colleagues read his books and heard of the strange occurrences associated with him, he was rejected by the London Presbytery in 1830. His ideas were condemned by the ministers in Scotland in 1831.Apart from his controversial new ideas on eschatology, a form of what would later be termed PREMILLENNIALISM, by 1828 Irving had become convinced that the gifts of the spirit so evident in the biblical church had fallen away due to lack of faith and were ready to be reborn. In 1830, he learned of an outbreak of spiritual manifestations in a remote part of Scotland. Soon those attending Irving's church in London reported similar events, extraordinary "manifestations of the spirit" including speaking in tongues, prophecies, healings, and even raising of the dead.Irving, Drummond, and other supporters planned a new church that would follow what they saw in the Bible as the apostolic model. The fivefold ministry described in Ephesians (4: 11-14) suggested to them that apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers should be ongoing officers in the church. These ministers were to help dispense the gifts of the Holy Spirit to church members. The return of the gifts of the spirit anticipated the return of Christ. A crucial feature of the new church would be the calling of 12 new apostles. The Catholic Apostolic Church was officially founded in 1832. The next year, the Presbytery of Annan of the Church of Scotland deposed Irving from the ministry; he died the following year.The Albury conferences and Irving's brief ministry were later seen as important steps in the emergence of premillennialism as a significant view among conservative Protestants. The spiritual manifestations at Irving's church were seen as precursors to Pentecostalism. The Catholic Apostolic Church left no provisions for replacing the original apostles; without apostolic leadership it dwindled into nonexistence in the 20th century. But before the church lost all of its apostles, some of the German members founded the New Apostolic Church. That church calls new apostles as old ones die, and has also radically increased their number as the church itself has grown. The New Apostolic Church is now a global community with more than 8 million members in some 190 countries.Further reading:■ Arnold A.

News in Brief
'Core Knowledge' Reading Set for 11 Schools in N.Y.C.
Eleven New York City schools will use a new reading program this school year developed by the Core Knowledge Foundation that includes explicit skills instruction as well as texts to build students' background knowledge.
The high-needs schools in the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens will use Core Knowledge Reading in grades K-2 as part of a three-year pilot project. Students' progress will be measured against control groups from similar schools that use other programs. The Core Knowledge curriculum is based on the work of E.D. Hirsch Jr., a professor emeritus at the University of Virginia, who argues that children must be exposed to the content and context needed for "cultural literacy" if they are to become proficient readers.
The reading program is also being piloted in seven other districts around the country. In New York, the $2.4 million early-literacy project will be subsidized by private donors through the Fund for Public Schools.

I was craving lemon poppyseed muffins. I am not sure why, but it happened. And so my desire to bake a new thing began as it always does - by searching online for a basic muffin I could re-invent. To my shock and dismay, I couldn't find a lemon poppyseed muffin that was both gluten-free and dairy-free. I found gluten-free versions but they contained things like butter cream or milk. I found dairy-free and vegan muffins but they often had all purpose flour.
Isn't a lemon poppyseed muffin the first thing people strive to bake the day they decide it's time to cut the potentially inflammatory action of gluten and processed dairy? No? Okay, fair enough. Well maybe it should be.
Since I couldn't find a base to work from, I pulled out my own book, The UnDiet Cookbook. The book is completely gluten and dairy-free and given that the recipes are well tested, I often end up using them as a base in which to dive off in a new direction. There are two excellent muffin recipes in the book - the Banana Berry Oatmazing Muffin and the Coconut Apple Muffin Lovin'.
The next step for me to is to switch and swap some of the dry ingredients and some of the wet ones based on what I want to add or remove to make it all new again.
There are two popular ways to flavour things lemony, in addition to using real lemon juice and zest.
- Lemon extract: ensure it is the cold pressed lemon oil + alcohol and nothing else. No natural flavours, colourings etc. Just the good stuff.
- Lemon essential oil: ensure beyond a shadow of a doubt that your oils are truly pure before you inhale or ingest!
I don't have a lot of extracts around my kitchen aside from vanilla, but I do have an abundance of essential oils, and so that was what I used in both the muffin base and the frosting. I will only use oils from Living Libations (more on that here).
The process of creating the recipe was pretty quick and easy, but I still wasn't confident it was going to work. For me, baking is one part chemistry (which I never studied) and 8 parts magic. What I do have on my side is that I never actually learned how to bake with ingredients like sugar, milk or all purpose flour. Over the years of experimenting and creating I have come to know the different types of gluten-free flours that work for different things.
One of my newfound super fave flours to bake with is chickpea flour. It's fairly neutral tasting, is rather light and offers a little outside crunch on things like muffins that is just so good.
Once these lemon poppyseed muffins came out of the oven and it was clear that I had a raging success on my hands, there was only one thing to do: come up with a seriously incredible frosting.
Frosting takes a muffin into cupcake territory!
You can quote me on that!
And that is just what I did. I used one of my favourite frosting ingredients - coconut butter (different from coconut oil!), some more lemon essential oil and a little maple syrup and water. Perfection!
I am now thinking that with this newfound awesome muffin base and frosting recipe, you can pretty much create any type of muffin/cupcake you desire! Vanilla? Use vanilla extract or vanilla essential oil. Almond? Almond extract with some chopped almonds on top. Coffee cake? Well, you know where I'm going with this.
For now though, I think this gluten-free and dairy-free vegan lemon poppyseed muffin has stolen my heart.
We had to freeze most of them - they were going very quickly in our house. Enjoy!
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time:
Yield: 12 muffins
- Dry Ingredients
- ¾ cup all purpose gluten-free flour (Bob's Redmill)
- ½ cup brown rice flour
- ½ cup chickpea flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp sea salt
- !Wet Ingredients
- ⅓ cup apple sauce
- ⅔ cup maple syrup or honey
- ⅓ cup water
- ¼ cup coconut oil
- 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice (about 1 lemon's worth)
- 10 drops lemon essential oilor 2 tsp lemon extract
- Add Ins
- 1 serving chia paste or 1 egg
- 1 Tbsp lemon zest
- 1 Tbsp poppyseeds
- Preheat oven to 350F and line your muffin tin with unbleached liners.
- Mix dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl.
- In a separate mixing bowl, food processor or blender, combine all wet ingredients.The lemon oil may foam up a little with the coconut oil. It's okay!
- Once thoroughly mixed, add the wet ingredients into the dry and stir in the chia paste/egg, lemon zest and poppyseeds. Mix with a spatula until well mixed. It will bubble a little.
- Dollop your mix into the muffin tray and place in the middle of the oven. Bake for 25-30 mins. The top will brown slightly and a tooth pick will come out clean.
- Allow to cool before adding the optional frosting.
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time:
Yield: ½ cup
- ⅓ cup coconut butter
- ¼ cup water
- 1-2 Tbsp maple syrup (taste to determine your preferred sweetness level)
- 7 drops lemon essential oil or 1-2 tsp lemon extract (again, taste for preference)
- In your food processor or small container of your high speed blender, process all ingredients together until smooth and creamy. Note that the mix will harden slightly once it cools.
- Once muffins are cool, using a small spatula or butter knife, dollop and smear frosting onto each muffin.

Day 11 – Boston (News)
The boys began their day with an early start and sang at the assembly of a local school. Meanwhile, the gents slept in and rocked on up about 11.30…well, most of us…It took about 80mins to get to the WGBH Studios and after a quick sound check we were 'on air'. It was a really interesting experience and in between pieces Dr Darlington, Josh, 'I want to be a Policeman', Hirst and Tom Bennett were interviewed by the radio host Cathy Fuller.
We headed up to the Trinity Church, Copley Square, to have an early dinner in the undercroft before rehearsing in the choir stalls. It was a challenging building to sing in due to the distance between the stalls. However, the packed Evensong congregation actually improved the acoustic. The service music was:
Introit – Christe Jesu, pastor bone (Taverner)
Responses – Clucas
Psalm 84
Canticles – Chichester Service (Walton)
Anthems – Salvator mundi (Tallis), Justorum animae (Stanford)
We were joined by several boy choirs from Boston for the Stanford. Afterwards we hopped back on the bus to the Green's house in Marblehead for some delicious shepherd's pie and refreshments, which went down a treat. No one is really looking forward to the eleven hour bus journey tomorrow but I'm going home to my hosts to watch Man Utd vs Chelsea!

Video Tutorial: Essie Winter Nail Art
Happy Thanksgiving All!
Here's a little winter nail art design i created on a whim when i recieved the new Essie Gel Couture Holiday Shades for 2017.
These nails turned out to be a perfect blend of sparkle with a simple winter snowflake design. A fairly simple look to achieve too!
Here's what i used:
I always use Proclaim – Super Bond Hair Bond Glue—to mask off my skin when i use a sponge for stamping gradients. It's a great #beautyhack for liquid nail masking fluid for 1/2 the price. You can this latex hair bond glue at any Sally Beauty Supply store.
It comes in white or black. It makes clean up a breeze and a lot less expensive then buying a "nail masking fluid" by a nail polish brand. Plus it lasts longer.
Clear Base Coat – Probelle Nail Maintanence
- 1 coat of Gold Gilding (Essie Gel Couture)
- Sponge gradient with Gold Guilding & Born Pretty Store Holographic Powder at the tip
- #M59 Snowflake Stamp Plate (my plate is an older model… newer plates with snowflakes are now available)
- Clear Jelly Stamper – Born Pretty Store
- amethyst noir (Essie Gel Couture)
- Non-reactive clear top coat – Sophi Top Coat (Piggy Paint)
Take a look at my video tutorial below.
