2nd Annual Miracle Fashion Show!
Friday night. Friday night made my heart soar. Amber J Photography partnered with Sixty State Place and Saratoga Sound DJ to host our second annual Miracle Fashion Show Fundraiser for The Capital Region Miracle League.
This organization provides an opportunity for people with disabilities to participate in athletics. We found them, we love them, we want to make them known.
I have so much to write about that it will take more than a few posts. However, I wanted to get something out right away because I am overwhelmed. I am proud and humbled, grateful and moved, impressed and exhausted (haha). It's a good exhausted though!
In a nutshell (if I may): I met Jaime 1.5 years ago now and I can see why her family just loves her so much. There is a tenderness about her and a precious heart inside that beautiful girl. I have learned so much from her and her family and it's a humbling experience to know them. I'll never be able to full explain it. But for now…
I wanted to give you all a few highlights and I promise to splurge with images soon, but for now: please share!
John Robinson opened our show. Please check out his amazing organization at www.ourability.com.
Our flower girl Brooke gives Burke (Jaime's father and founder of the league) a hug.
A group of our Epic Teen Models for this year!!
Dancers from the Redemptive Dance Institute took to the runway Friday night too!
Our beautiful, funny Amber J Senior Models that have signed with us this year! (Gowns from Bride and Gown in Albany!)
Members of the Bethlehem Boys' Swim team decked out in Men's Wearhouse Tuxes 🙂
The crazy back stage before the show!
I said stuff, but I don't remember what! 🙂
I'll provide full galleries soon, but so many thank yous and happy things to send your way, I can't wait!
Thank you to all who came out! If you would like to donate directly to the Miracle League please visit here.
Check back as we highlight our vendors, models, volunteers and more!

The United Kingdom Warehousing Association (UKWA) will be working in partnership with not-for-profit social enterprise, Evenbreak, to promote the value of diversity in the logistics sector and, highlighting the positive contribution that disabled employees can make to a business.
Evenbreak is a social enterprise formed to help inclusive employers attract more talented disabled people, help disabled jobseekers find work with employers who will value their skills and promote the business benefits of employing disabled people.
It aims to achieve these goals through a specialist job board – www.evenbreak.co.uk – that matches disabled job seekers with employers looking to build a diverse workforce.
"By advertising their vacancies on the Evenbreak job board, inclusive employers will attract disabled candidates that they may not find through any other recruitment channels, while disabled jobseekers can be confident that employers who have chosen to place their vacancies on this site are serious about looking beyond their disabilities to identify what skills they have to offer," comments Evenbreak Director, Jane Hatton.
She adds: "By promoting a positive image of disabled people in employment and the benefits of employing disabled people we also hope to balance out some of the current negative and inaccurate portrayals of disabled people in the media."

Juvenile justice facilities across the nation are in a dangerously advanced state of disarray, with violence an almost everyday occurrence and rehabilitation the exception rather than the rule, says U.S. News & World Report. Abuse of inmates by staff is routine. At the Charles H. Hickey Jr. School in Baltimore, staffers used force on juveniles 550 times between July 2002 and December 2003. At the Nevada Youth Training Center, staffers repeatedly punched boys in the chest, kicked their legs, and shoved them against walls. In Mississippi, suicidal girls at the Columbia Training School were stripped naked and placed in the "dark room," a locked, windowless isolation cell with no light and only a drain in the floor for a toilet; other kids were hogtied and pole-shackled and put on public display for hours. Girls were forced to eat their own vomit. Several states have had a disturbing spate of suicides among incarcerated kids.
"Almost every place is experiencing major problems," says criminologist Barry Krisberg, author of a recent report on the California Youth Authority. "There are cycles of abuse, reform, and abuse, and we are in a cycle of abuse." The U.S. Department of Justice is attacking abuses in juvenile facilities in an aggressive way. The feds have active investigations or are monitoring settled cases in juvenile justice systems in 13 states or territories, including California, Georgia, Michigan, Virginia, and New Jersey. More cases are on the horizon. "We have a full-court press on this," says R. Alexander Acosta, assistant attorney general for civil rights. Under a 1980 law, his attorneys have the power to investigate and sue to correct a pattern or practice of unlawful conditions at juvenile facilities. The flurry of suits began in the Clinton administration; John Ashcroft's Justice Department has more than kept up the pace, doubling the number of new investigations. "No one deserves to be treated this way," says Brad Schlozman of the Civil Rights Division.

The Fluor Corporation, one of the world's biggest engineering and construction companies, has agreed to buy the St. Joe Minerals Corporation for $60 a share, totaling nearly $2.9 billion, the two companies announced yesterday. The terms call for payment in cash and stock.
This is sharply higher than the offer of $45 a share made March 11 by Joseph E. Seagram & Sons. St. Joe has been fighting the Seagram offer, valued at more than $2 billion in cash, as ''grossly inadequate.''
St. Joe is the nation's biggest lead producer, and it has major interests in coal, petroleum and gold. It is one of several giant mining companies being eagerly sought by oil companies and other major corporations seeking resources for the future.
The $60 Fluor offer is understood to have been made early yesterday by J. Robert Fluor, chairman of Fluor, and was accepted by John C. Duncan, chairman of St. Joe. Both then signed a preliminary merger agreement at Mr. Duncan's 250 Park Avenue office in New York. Advisers for Both Sides
Negotiations leading to the accord were conducted the night before in a midtown hotel in Manhattan. The participants included representatives of the First Boston Corporation and Smith Barney, Harris Upham & Company, as advisers to St. Joe, and Lehman Brothers Kuhn Loeb, as advisers to Fluor.Continue reading the main story
Funds to help finance the purchase, somewhere between $500 million and $1 billion, are being sought from the Morgan Guaranty Trust Company, insiders said. Fluor is believed to have about $600 million in cash, while St. Joe has $250 million in cash of its own. Fluor's stock has a market value of nearly $2.5 billion.
The agreement with Fluor is the third multibillion-dollar mining merger to be announced in March.On March 6 the Standard Oil Company of California offered $4 billion for the 80 percent it does not yet own in Amax Inc., the huge metals and mining company. Amax is opposing the bid. Six days later the Standard Oil Company (Ohio) agreed to pay $1.8 billion for the Kennecott Corporation, the nation's biggest copper producer.
Fluor's bid for St. Joe, if successful, would mean a windfall for St. Joe investors. Early in March, just before Seagram made its $45-a-share offer, St. Joe stock was trading at less than $28 a share. Trading Resumes Next Week
The Securities and Exchange Commission halted trading in St. Joe stock on March 25 for 10 days, freezing the price at $52.50 a share. When trading resumes next week, St. Joe shares are expected to rise sharply as a result of the Fluor deal, regardless of what Seagram does.
A Seagram spokesman said his company was ''evaluating'' the Fluor agreement and would have no further comment for the time being. Sources friendly to Seagram questioned whether Fluor had enough capital of its own to buy St. Joe. Fluor is said to have a net worth of some $500 million and would need $1.2 billion in cash to swing the deal. It would also have to issue approximately 30 million more shares of stock, a move that could have an impact on the market price of Fluor shares, which closed yesterday on the New York Stock Exchange at 50 5/8, up 1/8.
Fluor's operations are widespread. The company earned $131.9 million, or $2.73 a share, in its fiscal year ended last Oct. 31. This was up from the previous year's $98.7 million, or $2.01 a share. Revenues, meanwhile, increased to $4.8 billion from $3.5 billion.
Fluor, which is expected to play a central role in the development of synthetic fuels over the next few years, is understood to have been looking for some time for a mining company to acquire. Suggestion of Liquidation
Its interest in St. Joe is understood to have become particularly strong in the last week, soon after St. Joe announced that it was planning to sell CanDel Oil Ltd., its Canadian oil and gas subsidiary, to raise money to buy its own stock and thus prevent a takeover by Seagram. That announcement also disclosed that St. Joe was looking for a buyer for the entire company, and it said St. Joe might liquidate itself if all else failed.
Signaling the price it would accept, St. Joe's announcement said the company would buy back 2 million of its own shares for $60 a share and swap preferred stock for five million additional shares, along with plans to buy more stock if it could sell CanDel.
Last week, as a result of St. Joe's offer for its own stock, the Securities and Exchange Commission halted trading and Federal District Judge Milton Pollack sharply assailed the liquidation possibility. He ordered St. Joe to get court approval before going ahead with any sale.
St. Joe subsequently arranged to sell CanDel to Sulpetro of Canada Ltd., for $460 million, subject to Sulpetro's ability to finance the purchase and also subject to Judge Pollack's approval.
As announced jointly by Fluor and St. Joe yesterday, Fluor would buy 45 percent of St. Joe's 45.2 million shares at $60 a share, starting April 6, subject to court approval and completion of a definitive agreement between the companies. St. Joe stockholders who do not choose to receive cash could exchange each of their shares for 1.2 Fluor shares. In addition to Fluor's other shares, 2.3 million have been granted to executives as stock options.Continue reading the main story

Be the first to read my latest entries on the New WOBM Blog!!!
For those in love with gossip, there is nothing more valuable than celebrity rumors on everyone you could every think about. And that is what CelebrityGossip offers: latest rumors (news sometimes) about everyone every having their 5 minutes of fame: singers, actors, models, all the hot people are there. And I think they have chosen a great slogan to describe the essence of gossip: "Is it true?"
All entries have tabloid-like headlines and are taken from online magazines, newspapers and other such sources. Users can vote for each entry and also comment. Registration is free, but required.
Celebrity Gossip is divided in 4 different sections. The Hot section is meant to display the most interesting rumors published. I guess this should be decided based on votes. But from what I have seen, as they still lack incoming votes, the comments make the difference between hot and not.
The Latest section displays the most recent news first, as expected. But if you want to check a certain star, go to the Celebs section. You will find an alphabetized list of everyone and anyone. Most of those present there I have no idea about. Or, if you don't know how's become an interesting read these days, check the "Most Talked About Celebrities" top, displayed on the Hot section.
The visual part of the site, the Pictures section, displays photographs of every celebrity ever taken a snapshot of. Angelina Jolie is top of the game in this section, according to the "Most Viewed Pictures" top.
I am not a big fan of celebrity rumors, but I have to say CelebrityGossip seems perfectly designed for what it wants to promote. Catchy headlines, short entries, eye-catching photos, the girlish-glamorous header and background, the large amount of pink, the slogan and the starry logo, it's all been carefully planned. And I am quite sure they will earn lots of fans among those interested in knowing everything about famous people.

i wonder whether this worship of the cult of celebrity is an inate human instinct, or is it a factor of the uninhibited (pun intended) growth of a news-fodder hungry mediahe asked in a "chicken or egg" sort of way.
At 7/19/2007 10:27 AM, Alina said…
Well, you are right in one thing, it may see a chicken or egg question. But is it? Celebrity gossip (although being a celebrity might have meant slightly different things - the reach and glamorous beaus and belles of high society) existed long before the media, as we know it today. Right now, I think it is a little bit of both. The media would accomplish nothing if there weren't a genuine interest in some. On the other hand, the interest could never be kept at its current rates without the media. Gossip, same as sex, sells :)
At 7/20/2007 2:56 PM, Mig said…
To complete your comment: the celebrity Gossip is about sex. Sex and power (money). Sure it sells. Even when the "gossip" is about a diet, you have to understand the reasons behind that diet: without it the star is not sexy enough... LOL!
At 7/20/2007 5:32 PM, Alina said…
You are right. The sex layer is behind it all. But not only that. Is sex involving famous people. And that can help everyone out with their secret fantasies :)

By now, you've likely been exposed to Pokémon Go in one form or another – whether you've seen gaggles of kids (or adults) gathered around trying to catch a Pikachu, or if you yourself have felt the call to catch 'em all!
For the uninitiated, the game allows you to walk around in your local area, be that a city or somewhere more rural, and use your smartphone to find and catch Pokémon which can later be battled with others. The game is already a phenomenal success, with an estimated 10 million players worldwide, and as of writing it has yet to be released in the franchise's home country of Japan.
Why now? Pokémon games have been around for over 20 years. The answer is simple – the technology. Smartphones now have all the magic ingredients needed to make such a game possible; accurate low-power GPS hardware, excellent cameras, and powerful graphics.
The implications for such technology go far beyond video games. Augmented Reality (AR) has existed for a long time, but is only now becoming a mainstream method to market brands. Pokémon Go remains a good example. Imagine you run a restaurant, that wishes to publicise a lunchtime deal. How best to target potential punters? The ideal customer is:
The solution: utilise your presence in the in-game map to draw those engaged in the game to you – because the game is based on the real world. Many businesses are already finding out the benefits of leveraging AR as selling points. Here are a selection of articles highlighting those that are benefiting:
The marketing opportunities also extend to the game world itself. In the near future, Pokémon Go will feature sponsored locations for retailers, which means that people playing the game will be able to see and interact with your venue from within the game world – an obvious advantage to any business looking to market to particular demographics.
If you have marketing needs, come and talk to our dedicated and enthusiastic team – we promise we'll stop training our Pokémon during the meeting.

Did Notre Dame Impress You?
Notre Dame got its season high in points. It got a convincing -- well, sort of -- victory. It beat the oh so beatable foe (North Carolina).
Now, is that enough to make a big BCS impression? You tell us. Is beating up on hapless North Carolina -- despite a series of defensive lapses that doesn't bode well for the future -- enough to move the Irish into more secure BCS standing, especially when you compare it to the less-than-dominating performances of Michigan, Auburn and Florida?
That's for the poll voters and computer experts to decide. For now, consider that Notre Dame has won six straight games, which is six more than, say, West Virginia has won in a row. That, in the end, might make all the difference.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has joined thousands of Northern Territory locals and WWII veterans to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the bombing of Darwin.
Memorial services have been held across the NT on Sunday to mark the 75th anniversary of the attack on the Top End, which resulted in more than 200 people dying during air raids by Japanese bombers in 1942.

The attack came two months after the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
Turnbull said the bombers "rained down terror" on Darwin, realising Australia's worst fear.
"Our nation was under direct attack for the first time," he told the crowd that included US and Japanese dignitaries.
Opposition Leader Bill Shorten and Governor-General Sir Peter Cosgrove were also in attendance at the memorial service in the NT capital.

As of Sunday, nine shipwrecks around Darwin will be automatically protected under the commonwealth shipwrecks act, which protects wrecks in Australian waters older than 75 years.

ROME A police officer accidentally shot and killed a soccer fan Sunday while trying to break up a fight by a Tuscan highway between supporters of rival teams, authorities said. Enraged by the killing, hundreds of fans rioted in Rome, attacking a police station.
Fans stormed the yard of a police station near Rome's Olympic Stadium, hurled stones at passing police cars, and smashed windows at the nearby Italian Olympic Committee headquarters.
Hundreds of youths, many with their faces covered by scarves and ski masks, dragged metal barricades and trash bins to block off one end of a bridge spanning the Tiber near the station. The rioters smashed a window in the police station and set a police vehicle on fire inside the gate.
Sky TG24 TV showed images of flames from what it said was a bus set on fire near the barracks.
Rome's police headquarters said the barracks was under attack but did not give details. It said some arrests were made but did not give a number.
The ANSA news agency reported that at least 10 police suffered injuries near the Rome stadium, but police said there were only a few injuries and they were minor.
RAI state TV, reporting from the stadium, said one of its cameramen was injured as well as a cameraman for a private network.
In the Tuscan town of Arezzo, police chief Vincenzo Giacobbe said the fatal shooting of the fan was "a tragic error" that occurred when a police officer intervened in a scuffle between two groups of people.
"I express deep sorrow and sincere condolences to the family of the victim," Giacobbe said.
Gabriele Sandri, a 26-year-old DJ from Rome and a fan of the city's Lazio soccer team, had been traveling to the northern city of Milan for Lazio's game against rival Inter Milan. He was hit in the neck by a bullet while in a car at the rest area along the A1 Autostrada highway near the town of Arezzo, about 125 miles north of Rome.
Arezzo police, reading a statement, said officers in two patrol cars who were stopped on the opposite side of the highway turned on their sirens when they "heard yelling, screaming" and realized the occupants of three cars in the rest area were fighting.
When the clash continued, the police fired warning shots into the air. All three cars began to return to the highway, police said, adding that one of the occupants of the vehicles "took a shot." The car with Sandri in it drove a few miles to the next exit to seek medical help. An ambulance crew was unable to revive him, police said.
They described the officer who fired the shots as a veteran but didn't provide the officer's name and, adding that the case was under investigation, refused to answer questions.
Several Italian TV channels showed Sandri's brother, Cristiano Sandri, gesturing angrily and yelling "they killed my brother." A man described by Sky TG24 as the family's lawyer repeatedly said that the shooting amounted to "first-degree murder."
Clashes between rival fans at rest stops are common in Italy.
Sky quoted witnesses as saying the other two cars were vans carrying Juventus fans from Naples heading to a match in Parma.
The Italian soccer federation postponed the Inter-Lazio game, and security officials in Rome canceled a Sunday night match between Roma and Cagliari. Other games on Sunday started 10 minutes late, with players and referees wearing black armbands.
Premier Romano Prodi, who was attending Mass when he was informed of the death, called fan violence "very worrisome."
The killing also prompted clashes between fans and police in Bergamo, where AC Milan was playing Atalanta. The match was stopped after seven minutes when Atalanta fans tried to break through a barrier and storm onto the field.
Last season, a policeman was killed in riots following a game between Palermo and Catania in Sicily. Under new anti-violence measures this season, some fans have been barred from traveling to games.

Gift Box Feature – Wild Hill BotanicalsToday I am happy to share with you an interview with Wild Hill Botanicals, an organic skincare line based here on Vancouver Island. I always personally test all the products I use in my gift boxes and because of that I am now hooked on the Nootka Rose cleansing clay. I just love knowing that there are no harsh chemicals being used on my skin and it always feels great supporting another small business. Continue reading to find out how this Vancouver Island couple got into distilling herbs and wild crafting beauty products. 1. Please introduce yourself and tell us a little about your company Wild Hill Botanicals. We take pride in growing herbs on our little farm that backs onto East Sooke Park here on Vancouver Island. We infuse and distill the herbs that we grow and wild craft to formulate a traditional style of body care that focuses on simple, quality ingredients for skin. 2. How or why did you get into making beauty products? A few years ago we took a workshop with Portland Apothecary in Washington State, and there, amongst the oil extracts and herb vinegars, we encountered our first botanical distillation. After that we both knew what we wanted to do on our property, and we began building up the farm and studying natural skincare. From there we spent some time in San Fransisco with an ethnobotanist who is well known for her hydrosols and skincare formulations, and from this background the line developed into what it is today. Locally we are also very grateful to Dr. Ryan Drum of the Gulf Islands for... read more
Gift Box Feature – The Wild Kids ApparelThis week's blog interview is with Adriane Duckworth the creator of The Wild Kids Apparel. Based out of Hamilton Ontario, this talented woman creates the cutest stuffed toys which I just adore and use in my baby gift boxes. 1. Was creating hand-printed apparel and accessories something you had always dreamed of doing? Share with us how it all started for you. I always wanted to be an artist, to draw, to be creative. I didn't know that I wanted to do this specifically until I had my first son five years ago. The first characters were created for his bedroom wall, and I kept drawing more and more. Eventually, I knew I had to share my little creatures with the world in some way, and baby/kids clothing and accessories just made sense to me! 2. You have created so many fun characters. I am sure it's hard to pick, but do you have a favorite? Do your customers have a favorite? I do have some favourites! Bob the Grizzly Bear is near to my heart, I just love his little sad face, ha ha. I also love Pablo the Penguin, and Olwyne the Owl because that is my son's absolute favourite. 3. It is so hard to balance motherhood and run your own small business. What do you find most challenging? Being really present, in either my work or my family life, is a struggle. I always have work on my mind, and I always feel guilty about not spending every waking minute with my boys when I'm working. But I've learned that balance doesn't exist, and that's... read more
Gift Box Feature – L Rempel ArtIn creating my gift boxes over this last year, I have discovered some talented and dedicated Canadian makers. Over the next few months I will introduce to you the talented people behind these products! First I am starting with L Rempel Art. If you love watercolour art and textiles then you will love this company…. 1. Please introduce yourself and tell us a little background about your business. I am Lindsay from the "L" in L Rempel Art. I started painting in University and fell in love. Painting and sculpture became a way to "capture" my experiences and document my life. I am inspired by things I find beautiful. That usually means florals, landscapes and bright colours. After I graduated from the University of Calgary, I continued to paint. Mostly doing commissions and small shows. I have always loved home decor and the idea of celebrating our spaces with things we find beautiful or functional. Transitioning my paintings onto textiles seemed an easy way to bridge my love of decor and my love of art. L Rempel textiles was born out of the wish to create functional art that added to your space. 2. I currently carry your beautiful tea towels, but I have noticed you also print your art on other products. Can you tell us about your other products? I have been running my company for almost a year now. I started my textile line with tea towels to see if people were interested in my paintings as prints. It was received really well and so I began experimenting with other textiles that seemed to suit the... read more
Me, myself and II felt it was time to post a re-introduction for those of you who don't know much about me. I started TARA MCHUGH FLORA 7 years ago when I was pregnant with my second child. I had been a stay at home mom for years and was really needing a creative outlet. So I asked myself that age old question, what makes me really happy? The answer was, obviously flowers. So there I was glued to my computer trying to learn everything I could about flower arranging. I signed up for the only floral class I could find in Victoria and was seriously disappointed to come home with a triangle shaped arrangement in floral foam and a perfectly round bridal bouquet all in red roses! It was not what I had hoped for. So I was left to learn from Google and You Tube and good old fashioned trial and error. Back then there weren't oodles of workshops as there seems to be these days! However, a few years ago I was lucky enough to attend Floret Flower Farms very first workshop with New York florist Amy Merrick. At that workshop I experienced what it was like to design with a bounty of locally grown ingredients. I was exposed to the real movement that was happening among flower lovers. The movement to start caring about where your flowers come from. In the early days, not only was I learning everything to know about flowers, but I was also learning about running a business. Including everything that goes along with it, bookkeeping, marketing, and social media, all the while breastfeeding and catering to a three year old!... read more
Victoria Summer Wedding – Villa Marco Polo InnLast summer I was honoured to be the florist for a beautiful small wedding at the Villa Marco Polo Inn. As I often tell people, when the subject of wedding venues comes up, this venue is at the top of my list. I love the character and charm of this old home and it's gorgeous outdoor garden space. The entire inn can be booked for friends and family which is extremely convenient for out of town visitors. The bride and her bridesmaids can also get ready at the venue on the day of the wedding. What a nice place to sip champagne and relax while getting your hair and make up done. For this wedding the bride requested a purple color scheme and also wanted trailing ribbon, which I adore. The local dahlias stole the show as usual. This wedding weekend just happened to fall on one of the few August days we had rain here on Vancouver Island. But as you can see from the photos it didn't put a damper on a thing. I actually love how charming the umbrellas look in these photos by Jesse Holland Photo. The bridesmaids wore soft flowing purple gowns, and the flowers a mixture of dahlias, stocks, eucalyptus and lavender phlox complimented them beautifully. Renting tents turned out to be a wise idea to protect the guests and food from the drizzling rain. (photo: Spark and Whimsy) As both the bride and groom were big Harry Potter fans they had... read more
Copper Wedding InspirationThe following is my first wedding shoot here in Victoria where I personally hand picked all the talented vendors to help bring my vision to life. My inspiration was copper, as we have all seen hundreds of weddings with silver and gold and I was craving something different. Copper will work beautifully for any fall or winter wedding. But let's not underestimate it for spring, after all this shoot took place in the spring, hence all the beautiful ranunculus!! Enjoy. Photographer – Kelly Brown Flowers and art direction – Tara McHugh Flora Venue – Victoria Golf Club Models – Coultish Agency Stationary – Tuktu Paper Co. Cake – Ruth and Dean Bride's dress – Blush Bridal Boutique Groom's attire – Hughes Clothing Makeup – Melanie Baird Makeup Artistry Hair – Conscious Hair Rings – Emma Glover... read more
Summer Dahlia CenterpieceSummer is in full swing and that means my favorite summer flower, the dahlia, is back! I love local dahlias because they come in numerous shapes, sizes, and incredible colors. The cafe au lait dahlia in particular has been very well loved over the last few years in the wedding world. What's not to LOVE about this flower though! The sheer size of it is impressive, not to mention the beautiful color variations from blush to peach on one single flower, Arrangement recipe: cafe au lait and other pink dahlias, cosmos, sweet peas, ornamental oregano, zinnias, maple... read more
Succulent TerrariumIt has been years since I have made a terrarium and I forgot how much fun it can be! It is like landscaping in miniature. Succulents, moss, stones, interesting pieces of driftwood and twigs all make for beautiful terrarium ingredients. They are a more modern alternative to having a typical houseplant. It adds that touch of green to your space but in a more unexpected... read more
Wedding Trends for 2015Today's blog post is about wedding trends for 2015. I recently asked Women of Weddings member Anne Pollock of Party Mood to share some of her thoughts on this year's trends. Party Mood creates swoon worthy weddings and events with unique ideas, styling expertise, experienced planning, and coordination on the day of the wedding or event. They also offer a great source for interesting décor rentals which can be viewed on their site at www.partymood.com. What colors and combinations are we seeing more of this year? We are seeing 3 color palettes – sherbets, carnival, and burgundy reds Sherbet colors include soft pastels, blush, pale blue, pale yellow, light greens Bright "Carnival" Colors are reds, oranges, yellows, pinks, green, and marsala (burgundy) Marsala is Pantone's color of the year. It is a muted burgundy, classic, easy to mix with both the soft and the bright colors, plus neutrals. Can you tell us some new "experience" trends that brides and grooms can incorporate into their wedding day? This year we will see the further emergence of -Wedding Piñatas -Kissing Menu Cards: singing, dancing, storytelling, answering questions, demonstrating a kiss, marriage advice, or a sentimental toast. -"Ring for a Kiss" using a cowbell -"Donate To a Cause" for a kiss -Selfie stations -Temporary tattoos -Go Pros, selfie sticks, drones -Flatbed trailers as a food zone As for décor and accent metals what new exciting things can we expect to see more of in the next couple of years? Copper is the biggest trend coming in right now, followed by muted bronze. We'll continue to see rose gold as brides love this... read more

Telephone & internet hacking and data theft are becoming major concerns for businesses across industries. Irrespective of size, if your business accepts credit cards as a mode of payment, it immediately exposes itself to the huge threat of data hacking, theft and breach. The hospitality industry is no different. With the travel industry growing rapidly, hotels and restaurants access and store customers credit card information and feedback forms as part of their accounts and CRM on a daily basis. It has become imperative to protect this guest information and data with uttermost privacy. In fact, according to a recent study, hotels and restaurants have accounted for the largest amount of credit card breaches. Thus, the hospitality sector has no choice but to comply with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) requirements to secure itself and protect against data thefts and loss.
PCI DSS standards maybe overwhelming for smaller hotels and restaurants, but with a robust hotel software or hotel ERP, hoteliers can secure their networks to run at optimal capacity.
What is PCI DSS?
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), are a set of requirements that any business using credit card as a payment mode must adhere to. These are a set of guidelines and IT requirements that can be implemented while configuring IT and payment processing environments.
PCI DSS was established by five of the world's major card networks: American Express, Visa, Discover, JCB and MasterCard.
PCI DSS standards are a set of international security requirements that govern all areas of sensitive guest payment card data processing such as:
- Magnetic card stripe
- Security codes and passwords on all property applications, includingWindows
- PIN that results when a transaction is authorized
- Physical security of printed reports
Requirements for a PCI DSS Certification
Hotels must meet specific requirements to earn a PCI DSS certification. These requirements include standards for:
- Network security – firewalls and password configuration
- Using secure PCI-certified system applications
- Restrictions on cardholder data access – both electronically and physically
Advantages of PCI DSS to the Hospitality Sector
Data theft could result in a hotel or restaurant being black listed, resulting in loss of thousands of dollars of revenue. PCI DSS benefits a hospitality property in terms of
- Better protection of sensitive company & guest data
- Reduced risk of data theft
- New revenue opportunities
- Optimized processes and systems
- Improved efficiency and brand value
PCI DSS also protects a hotel in terms of providing strong access control measures. It also regularly monitors and tests security of the network and maintains a vulnerability management program to deal with breach.
How to Stay PCI DSS Compliant
Here is a quick list of things to do so that your hotel property becomes PCI DSS compliant
- Install and maintain a firewall to protect cardholder data
- Develop and maintain secure systems and applications
- Restrict access to cardholder data by business need-to-know
- Assign a unique ID to each person with computer access
- Avoid using vendor-supplied default settings for system passwords and other security parameters
- Encrypt transmission of cardholder data across open and public networks
- Ensure your anti-virus software is always updated
- Track and monitor all access to network resources and cardholder data
- Regularly test security systems and processes
- Maintain a policy that addresses information security
The onus really is on you to become PCI DSS compliant and verify your compliance with each payment card brand if you are an independent hotel, restaurant or resort. If you are part of a franchise, reach out to your franchisor to see they have implemented a PCI compliance program for their franchisees or if they are offering any guidance.

Recipes from The Inglenook Cookbook
by The Sisters of the Brethren Church (1906)
For the yeast take 1 handful of good rivels, 1 tablespoonful of sugar, 1 tablespoonful of salt, 1 handful of flour, stir in about' 1 pint of lukewarm water. Leave it a day or so in a cool place; then in the evening before you want to bake, take 3 medium-sized potatoes, pare and boil till soft; take out the potatoes, put a small handful of hops in the potato water. Let the hops boil a short time; mash the potatoes, add 1 big spoonful of flour, salt, and sugar; strain the hops and pour the boiling water over the flour and potatoes; then put in water until the whole is lukewarm (it will take about a quart of water), then pour it in your yeast can, stir well together. Let it set over night. In the morning take out about 1 pint of potato beer for the next baking: take the rest of the beer, strain, stir in flour till it stirs nicely; let it stand .till it is light, then put in flour, knead it stiff; let it rise, then put it in pans; let rise till light, then bake in a moderate oven about 1 hour.

21st Century Transportation for Arizona
Arizona is experiencing a shift in how people travel. For almost a decade, Arizonans have been driving fewer miles per person, and we increasingly look to public transportation to get around.
Bikes, Trains and Less Driving
Research conducted by the Arizona PIRG Education Fund found that between 2006 and 2013, Arizona saw an 11.8 percent decline in annual vehicle miles traveled per capita; Arizonans drive fewer miles per person than we did in 1996; and despite increasing population, fewer Arizonans are living with cars. Driving miles per person are down especially sharply among Millennials – the generation that will increasingly dominate transportation trends and is already leading the trend toward greater ridership on public transit.
When it comes to public transportation, transit agencies across our state are experiencing record ridership. In the Phoenix metro area, the light rail opened in late 2008 and is already experiencing ridership numbers that weren't projected to be reached until the year 2020. Between 2007 and 2013, boardings on Valley Metro jumped from 58 million to more than 74 million. In July 2014, the Tucson Streetcar opened and 10 months later its 1 millionth passenger was celebrated. The Northern Arizona Intergovernmental Public Transportation Authority has seen ridership grow from under 200,000 in 2001 to more than 1.8 million in 2013. And in Yuma, ridership on Yuma County Area Transit has doubled since 2005.
With transportation dollars becoming scarcer, Arizona needs to shift its transportation priorities toward the maintenance and repair of our existing infrastructure and the expansion of public transportation choices.
To that end, the Arizona PIRG Education Fund is urging state and local officials to conduct the following:
> Get better data. Transportation agencies should compile and make available to the public more comprehensive, comparable and timely data to allow for better informed analysis of the causes and magnitude of changes in driving trends. Officials at all levels should eliminate inconsistencies in the reporting of transportation data, increase the frequency of surveys that shed light on changes in transportation preferences and behaviors, and use emerging new sources of information made possible by new technologies in order to gain a better grasp of how driving trends are changing and why.
> Revisit transportation plans. Many existing transportation plans continue to reflect outdated assumptions that the number of miles driven will continue to rise steadily over time. Officials at all levels should revisit transportation plans to ensure that they reflect recent declines in driving and new understandings of the future demand for travel.
> Reallocate resources. With driving stagnating and demand for public transit, bicycling and pedestrian infrastructure increasing, officials should reallocate resources toward system repair and programs that expand the range of transportation options available to Arizonans.
> Remove barriers to non-driving transportation options. In many areas, planning and zoning laws and transportation funding rules limit public officials' ability to expand access to transportation choices. Officials at all levels should remove these barriers and ensure access to funding for non-driving forms of transportation.
> Use innovative travel tools and services. New technologies and techniques provide transportation officials with new tools to address transportation challenges. Transportation agencies should encourage the use of carsharing, bikesharing and ridesharing and provide real-time travel information for public transit via smartphone.

Important Reasons to Have a Water Purifier for Your Home
If you think that you are safe by using tap water directly in your home without further treatments then you could have gone astray and need to learn something important concerning water purification. When the water is treated the local water suppliers to reduce the contaminants, there are times when they can still enter into the water by accidents or by improper disposal of certain materials. So that you can be assured of protection from these contaminants, there is a need for you to consider having further water treatments in your home. This will help you to remove these hazardous impurities that might have entered the water. There are a lot of reasons why you should have water purification in your home. You can have water decontamination in your home by buying a water filter. Discussed below are some of the reasons why you need a water filter in your home to purify your household water.
You will avoid water contaminants
You know that your tap water can contain a lot of substances. Most of these substances are toxic. Most of them will also cause cancer disease. If you do not want to take the risk, then consider having a water purification system that will help you to remove all of these substances allowing you to enjoy the pure water and lowering the risk of getting cancer that is associated with exposure to these toxic materials. Check
filter systems
Most self-claimed water bottling companies have emerged selling their bottled water at a lesser price. These cheap waters are not safe while getting the premium brands can be too expensive to buy on a regular basis. Again it can sound awkward to buy water whenever you want to cook or wash your baby, it is too expensive. If you want a cost-effective and a long-term solution, then consider it important having a water filter in your home to purify your water whenever you have the need of using it. Get

It is better than boiling
Boiling water is important but there are contaminants that will not be fully removed. If you didn't know, tap water normally contains some metals that can be dangerous to your most delicate body parts like the stomach, kidney, and liver. These metals will not go away after boiling the water. Having the water purifier in your home will assure you that all the contaminants will be removed completely hence you will be able to get fresh and pure water. Visit

I am so mad over absolutely the dumbest thing, and I cannot stop being mad.
At work, we have usernames for our computer system. The username is a personal 3-character code that's slapped on the end of your department's 3-character code. Those 6 characters are the signature identifying every mark you make.
Over my weekend, the manager of my department's usernames went in and reassigned all of the personal codes without warning. I'm sure someone knew he was making the change. I didn't make the cut. Instead, I walked in on Thursday and went from being BLY to 1KT.
This is quite seriously the reason I have only slept two hours tonight, and woke up bawling.
The truth is, I feel violated by having this silly 3-character ID changed. For over a year, that has been the signature that identified the records I created and manipulated–records that are now part of training materials that are company-wide. Country-wide. Now, if someone else in my department is ever branded BLY, that person can take credit for a year of my life.
It's vain. It shouldn't matter, but it really, really does. I feel like I finally published my novels only to wake up and find my publisher put someone else's name on the byline.
Funny. The post I'd intended for today was about how I cope with my mental crap with humor–other people's humor, obviously, as I haven't been able to find a way to laugh about my crap in a way that isn't completely hollow and pathetic.
I love to laugh. I love when people make me laugh, and it's so, so easy to do. In a lot of ways, it offsets how much I cry, which is far more than the average sentient monkey.
Yesterday turned out great. After all the nuttiness of the morning, I made it to work and jumped into a hectic 13-hour work day that ended with a goodbye happy hour for a coworker. Lots of laughs, so many laughs as people unwound. A few coworkers found out I'm a rookie beer snob, which only one or two knew before last night. Shots were ordered for the bosses, who tried to pawn them off until they came to rest, untouched, at the other end of the table.
Today, I saw the only friend I've seen in three weeks. We wandered home decor stores and imagined homes filled with our own furniture, our own tastes, our own families. We laughed over last decade's clothes at a second-hand boutique. We scarfed down huge breakfasts at a chain diner.
I listened to a sketch comedy program on the radio that had me chuckling as insomnia kept me awake 4 hours past my bedtime. SImple, clean humor; the kind you might find in an Erma Bombeck book, or told in a church service to engage the worshipers.
And then I woke up two hours into my much-needed sleep, suddenly fretting over a username that won't matter if I switch industries five years from now.
So much for humor. You know, I've been dealing with this for 9 years. When it was a self-diagnosed issue, I knew how to handle it (other than the deep end I visited a few months ago). Now that I'm on meds and in therapy, I'm actually having a harder time wrapping my mind around how unpredictable my moods are. Maybe I'm just more aware of how easily I'm swept into the undertow.
Tomorrow's coping mechanism is more likely to be: water, 10 am meds, water, 10:01 am sleeping pill, water, read, 11 am sleep. I don't know about Monday yet.

My intention when this post started writing itself in my head was to share my favorite Channing quotes from his third year. Some of them were humdingers. Take for example our trip to FL in March during which Channing expressed his concern for WM's well being.
We walked into our hotel room. Channing took one look at the single king-size bed in the room, looked at me and asked, 'Where's Daddy going to sleep?'
On the same trip, he took to giving fair warning. His delivery was like no other. 'Mom, I love you, but I'm going to be naughty now.'
Kids, as I'm sure you know, say the darndest things. However, a picture still says a thousand words. So, here's another 13,000 words, give or take a few to round out this post.
This is how the year began. Into the green chair he went for the traditional picture, a place we'd been so many times before to mark the passing of time. He was more pliable than not, agreeing to the pictures, to what I asked him to wear and smiling a genuine smile.
December and the magic of the holiday season was exponentially more magical. Channing, being old enough to 'get it' was in awe of everything Christmas. Everything. Right down to the last shimmering light.
Swimming lessons, started in September, continued into January and right through those coldest, snowiest months. The heat and humidity of the local pool was a welcome reprieve from what Mother Nature provided us.
Come February, we came to the realization that winter citrus was often best enjoyed as a toy rather than a food, or more often as a toy first and then food. Orange goggles, an age appropriate alternative to beer goggles.
March allowed for a winter escape complete with the crunch of snow, something that eluded us at home. Channing still talks of this weekend, how we arrived to thigh-deep snow in the middle of the night. It was to him 'the best adventure in the whole wide world.'
Even in need of a spruce up, this kid's cute. Very cute. I'm not completely biased either. Those brown eyes melt this mama time and time again. He knows it too.
Gertens beckoned in May. We took both grandmas with us to shop for plants to spruce up the porch. These purple petunias passed the 'do they hide me well enough to make monster faces and to jump out and rawr people' test with flying colors.
June = bubble machine. Channing's obsession.
The heat of July often kept us (me being VERY pregnant at this point) indoors and gave perfect reason for Chef Channing to don his hat and to lend a hand in the kitchen i.e. eat sugar out of the canister by the spoonful.
August passed in a blur of muddy red boots, shovels and dirt as the quest for toads and worms seemed unending. He'd still be out there right now if we'd have left him to his own devices.
September brought new life into our household, something readily and totally embraced by big brother Channing. The boys practiced their wrestling moves on the first day Max was home from the hospital. It hasn't stopped. I wouldn't have it any other way.
See...this is one proud big brother. I was trying to take a one month picture of Max. Channing kept creeping in. I'll remind him of this in another three years when he absolutely refuses to let me take his picture. Let's be realistic. That day is coming.
We've come full circle. This time, I was not allowed to pick out the clothes. I couldn't even hint at what I'd have grabbed from the dresser drawers. He was little Mr. Independent. I'm beyond excited to see what this year brings. Beyond excited. Each year, I think 'this is my favorite age' then the next comes along and I like it even better.
Happy birthday, Walter Channing Flynn. You are SO loved.

Our state-of-the-art sensor slim bins for kitchen come is a wide range of sizes, and all of them are equipped with our innovative sensors which use infra-red technology to detect and respond to movement. When the sensor detects your hand or the proximity of whatever you want to put in the bin, the lid of the bin opens automatically. In three seconds, unless you choose to manually override the sensor using the open/close button, the lid closes tightly, keeping the waste securely inside. This advanced technology makes an everyday activity, in this case using the bin, easier and more hygienic.
The hygiene benefits of the sensor bin are made even stronger with the development of our innovative bag retaining ring. This is a ring that fits securely inside the bin to hold the bin liner in place and keep it there until you want to change it – at which point you will find the bag easier and quicker to change than your average bin. The bag retaining ring also means that you don't have all those untidy ends of the bin liner bunching up or sticking out of the bin. The result is a bin that works better in terms of efficiency and hygiene, and looks better at the same time. Looks are important, and our range is designed with modern, stylish lines and a quality finish so that it fits into any home or workplace. The stainless steel used is premium grade, the best quality, and is finished with a brushed look that gives a soft, high-end look.
A 42 litre slim kitchen bin is the ideal size for many applications. If you are looking for a bin for your home or workplace, the sensor feature and bag retaining ring give you the hygiene, efficiency and ease of use that will serve you so well in any context. There are a range of other sizes in the sensor bin range, but the 42 Litre is a particularly versatile option; large enough to cope with a fair amount of waste yet compact enough to fit into the average room.
If you are looking for a slim kitchen bin for a high pressured environment where it is essential that waste is managed well, such as a health or medical context (doctor's surgery, hospital, dental surgery, veterinarian practice or cosmetology salon) then the sensor bin is an ideal choice. It is however, equally suitable for settings where it is to be used by those less able. Sensor technology has been revolutionising the lives of the less abled since the first sensor operated products came on the market. Similarly, sensor bins are easier and more hygienic (not to mention fun!) for children to operate safely.

Hello everyone.

Hope you enjoy.

Russel Tarr's Classtools site is one of my go-to websites. I'm a big fan of the countdown timer and random name picker tools, and have used them on many occasions. The Fakebook and Twitter generator tools are also great.
Just added to the site is the Breaking News Generator. This allows teachers and children to create an image that looks like something from a 24 hour news channel. It's great fun and has a lot of potential.
The images that you create can be downloaded, or shared via a generated URL. You could also screen capture them straight into your IWB software.
This would be great for providing a summary of a story, or historic event. Pupils could create a one line summary of their findings in a science investigation, alongside a photograph of it taking place. Teachers could use it as a lesson or discussion starter or even use it as a way of displaying learning intentions.
You can try it out for yourself at www.classtools.net/breakingnews
There's loads of other tools there too, so go to www.classtools.net and take a look!

Splash n dash – great success

Thank you very much to Chris Lawn for organising and all the volunteers and competitors for making our Splash n Dash on Saturday evening such a wonderful event.

Special thank you to the London Otters for bringing so many keen rowers and great to see ex-junior Harry. Alex took some great photos (to follow).


text: This week while researching for more information that I could use for my research subject I found The Journal of Management Accounting Research very helpful. Its main focus is to spread accounting knowledge. To me this journal is the best place to ask question and find answers. With the top people in the field submitting ideas it should be in unlimited place of knowledge. This writings made me more aware of the overall work that goes into being in accounting, especially large businesses. It helped me to understand there are accountants that are not only doing accounting work. They are submitting ideas and throes to help the field. With them submitting new ideas the journal has top people in the field helping develops any ideas that are submitted.

Let's play a little game.
Where were you two years ago? Where were you living? Who was your closest friend? Did you have a job? What was your favorite class in school?
Now, ask yourself this: what was your favorite music? If your life during that time was a soundtrack, what were the songs that gave meaning to your day-to-day life?
Now imagine you're back in the present feeling a little nostalgic and want to relive the past. You put on that old soundtrack, and a moment later your suitemate bursts into the room and starts laughing. "What are you listening to!?", he says. "Their songs were always garbage." You think about laughing and pretending like you just don't care but you do care and after a moment's thought, you're ready for a fight.
"What do you mean it's 'garbage'? Who says that anyway? At least I don't listen to…"
And the fight begins. He's stupid. You're too sensitive. He's arrogant. You always need to be right.
Who wins? Maybe it doesn't matter. It's just music. Everyone is entitled an opinion.
So the fight might end and in this situation it didn't really matter that you didn't agree because it wasn't a life or death conversation.
Now consider a rather strange passage of scripture:
What? What's up with the food restrictions? Why do they "not know something yet they ought to know"?
The Corinthian Christians weren't fighting about music genres. However, they were forcibly stating their opinions. In fact, almost all the conversations around their faith began with, "In my opinion," or "The way I see it is…" and a lot of, "You don't know what I know." It caused fights. Name-calling.
But the gospel is not about what you know but about who loves you--namely Jesus. Jesus who voluntarily surrendered his rights in order to show you the profound depth of his love. Jesus, who wasn't interested in our personal insight, but whether we were willing to consider his moral authority in our lives.
Opinions about life and meaning may shift with cultural tides but, for the Christian, God's authority must be a constant not because he forces his way into our lives and begins making demands, but because his wisdom gives us opportunities: to live a better lives among others, to honor Him, and experience the gift of his joy.
As a new semester is starting, keep in mind God wants to sing through your life.
Consider His song.

Sweets for my sweet
I've been in the country this weekend, far from modern inventions like television and the internet. To prepare for this deprivation I spent a long time in the Moffat Toffee Shop, probably the best sweet shop in the entire world. Moffat is only a small town but the toffee shop is huge and has more pick 'n' mix than you could possibly imagine, plus metres of mixed boilings and posh chocolates up the back.
I always end up buying something I've got no intention of eating, like Candy Pebbles, just because they look so nice. It's very handy for the M74 if anyone is whizzing up and down there over the holidays.

Via The Baz File
President Obama's decision to hold a Twitter Town Hall was an about-face for the commander-in-chief who only months ago in private conversations with aides would scoff at the 140-character social media format for its lack of depth and sophistication, according to sources with knowledge of those conversations.
In particular, Obama would get miffed at the news media for picking up the Twitter comments made by ex-GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. "He complained that 'They hang on her every word and report it without even questioning her directly,'" one informed source said this morning, quoting the President.
