Absolutely Fabulous by D&A: Sport Street Couture
It's been almost an year since we discovered Lee Cooper and started the collaboration between our agency Fabulous PR&Events and this brand with a 100 years tradition in the world.
Since then our style started to change. From not wearing any sport item to wearing hoodies with skirts and statement jewelry to wearing jeans we did not enjoy so much few months ago and we continue to discover this casual-sport style which now is pretty popular among fashion bloggers&fashion icons all over the world.
This week we fell in love with this Lee Cooper extra large vest, the shirt and the grey hoodie and as we predict there are more items to fall in love with in the near future considering our new obsession.
You should have at least one hoodie in your wardrobe this season.
You can buy it from women/men collection, it doesn't matter, just buy it and make a statement! :)
Absolutely Fabulous by D&A: Hoodies, our new obsession
Obsession converted in collection
Sezonul acesta suntem profund indragostite de stilul sporty-chic si trebuie sa recunoastem ca in aceeasi masura am dezvoltat si o obsesie pentru piesele din colectiile destinate barbatilor, in mod special pentru hanorace. Totul a pornit dintr-o joaca, in timpul unei excursii la Paris unde ne-am indragostit iremediabil de un hanorac imprimat NYPD. Am revenit in tara si de atunci obsesia noastra s-a transpus intr-o colectie remarcabila de peste 10 piese achizitionate in nici doua luni de zile.
Cu putin curaj si creativitate, poti transforma orice piesa sport si casual-sport in street couture.
Povesteste-ne despre o colectie de item-uri pe care o detii sau despre minim 3 item-uri de acelasi fel din garderoba ta si poti castiga o pereche de cercei din argint si cristale Swarovski by Josephine Boutique.

Perfect Hairstyle
Cu certitudine putem afirma că imaginea noastră nu ar fi fost completă fără atenția pe care am acordat-o părului. Așa cum, orice ținută poate fi ruinată de o pereche de pantofi incorect aleși același lucru se poate spune și despre o coafură precară, o culoare ștearsă sau pur și simplu de un păr neîngrijit.
Atenția pe care am acordat-o părului ne-a ajutat să fim în permanență diferite chiar dacă lucrul acesta a însemnat constanță și un look corect. Suntem adeptele unui stil feminin în care părul lung, bogat reprezintă un mijloc de seducție în sine iar felul în care ni-l aranjăm ne poate asigura exact acel factor cameleonic de care avem nevoie. Adorăm culorile bogate și intense din gama Wellaton, ideală pentru a ne păstra nuanța sau a-i conferi acel luciu de lungă durată iar pentru un styling perfect pur și simplu ne-am îndrăgostit de gama Wellaflex Heat Creations.

All you have to do in Alabama this week is pick up a major daily newspaper, (note the Publian throat-clearing on that page) or turn on the TV news, to hear how the Wonder of Ethics Reform has been ushered in by the new Republican monopoly on political power in Alabama. You would think no one ever testified under oath to Congress that Bob Riley pocketed millions in Choctaw casino money. Why, it probably all really went to those ethics-reform-killing Democrats who got voted out last month!
The Republican-Newhouse chorus of praise for restrictions on "lobbyist" expenditures depends, for its political effect, on the public's failure to understand how lobbying really works. The rather simplistic public view - strongly supported by the editorial slant of the largest news outlets - shows most votes in the Legislature being determined over the tenderloin filet with Béarnaise butter at Sinclair's or the chopped lobster over angel hair at SaZa's. I won't discount the impact this gustatory largess has on legislators (although both of the foregoing delicacies are within the per-meal limits of the new law), and its restriction will improve the moral atmosphere. But the real work of the lobbyist lies elsewhere.
The disproportionate influence of lobbyists in the Alabama Legislature stems from a number of factors. Perhaps the most underrated comes from their access to information not otherwise available to legislators. While legislators in many states have access to research staffs and personal staffs that are comparable to those in Congress, Alabama lags behind. The understaffed and underfunded Legislative Reference Service and Legislative Fiscal Office simply cannot provide anyone, including legislators, with much of the information needed to evaluate legislative proposals. Enter the lobbyist, or the interest group they represent. No one has performed this function as notably as the Alabama Education Association. No small part of the influence of Paul Hubbert and his employer comes from their mastery of the complicated budgetary and economic data necessary to balance a budget. In the coming GOP quadrennium, there will be new fights over how to deal with shortfalls in the education budget, but one thing will remain constant. If Governor Bentley's staff says the Education Trust Fund will be X dollars in the black next year, and Dr. Hubbert's staff says it will be Y dollars in the red, legislative leaders will be working from the latter presumption, even if they dare not admit it.
As much as lobbyists influence legislation by direct pressure, they earn their keep by simply tracking it, and counting the noses of supporters and opponents. Smaller groups, which don't have a full time executive or staff in Montgomery, count on retained lobbyists to notify them if a bill impacting their members has been introduced, and then let them know where it is in the legislative process. Even the larger groups on Goat Hill - the AEA's and the ALFA's - largely use their lobbying staffs to send blast faxes or emails to members from Boaz to Brewton, to tell them it's time to call their legislators about House Bill B. That sort of pressure, more than any martini, moves votes in the State House. Even, perhaps especially, in the case of big-ticket legislation, it's the heavy-hitting principal, not the lobbyist, who makes the trek for deal-closing face time with a swing voter. John Archibald of The Birmingham News figured this out, when he noted (in attacking GOP Senator Scott Beason's hypocrisy on "ethics reform"), that Beason didn't wear a wire to talk to some briefcase-toting lobbyist lackey. He (allegedly) wore it to talk to Milton McGregor.
Of course, if you really want to move votes in the legislative process, donate. Fund those re-election bids. And while the "ethics reform" session put a few speed bumps in the path of redirected money, it came far short of erecting any roadblocks. Even the slight additional disclosure required under the PAC-transfer ban is likely to be of limited effect. Remember again AEA's cannonade against Bradley Byrne during the GOP primary and runoff campaigns.
The so-called "ethics reforms" may give the GOP some talking points, and may leave those unfamiliar with the daily grind on Goat Hill with the idea that things are now fine, but they really will not make any material change in how the people's business is conducted at 11 South Union Street.
What we are left with is the inescapable conclusion that this session had nothing to do with ethics. It had everything to do with passing anti-AEA bills, banning teachers from running for the Legislature, and banning public entities from deducting AEA and ASEA political contributions from paychecks. (I am still waiting for the explanation of why it's more unethical for a Democratic teacher to vote on an education budget, than it is for a Republican insurance agent to vote on a bill impacting the insurance industry.) Those bills would have been at serious risk of a Bentley veto come January, as well as being maneuvered behind budgets in a regular session. The 52-49 final House vote passing the payroll deduction bill shows that there was insufficient support to pass the bill in a regular session, with a governor more sensitive to employee rights.
Of course, as this blaring headline from The Birmingham News shows, the GOP and its media apologists have not wasted the opportunity to trumpet the "historic" accomplishments of Ethical Bob and his newly-empowered GOP Legislature. With few exceptions, the news coverage has repeated the Republican lie that Democratic Legislatures had "refused" to reform ethics, when in fact, Democratic proposals stronger than those on offer last week were passed by Democratic Houses, and filibustered or blocked by GOP minority blocs in successive Democratic Senates.
Perhaps - and it is our task as Democrats to help them do so - what the Republicans have done is to overreach in their giddy victory dance, and wakened a sleeping giant. In the early 1970's, George Wallace, looking for some cash to spend as he chose, proposed a raid on the Education Trust Fund. Before this time, AEA had largely been a group of starving, underpaid professionals who gathered in Birmingham during spring break every year to get out of Scottsboro or Eufaula. Under the leadership of the recently-installed Dr. Hubbert, AEA rose with a unified voice, and hundreds of teachers jammed the halls of the Capitol, buttonholing every member of the Legislature. Not only was Wallace's raid dead on arrival, before running for re-election in 1974, Wallace was careful to pre-empt AEA opposition by giving teachers a $1,000.00 a year across-the-board raise. (This would be close to $4,500.00 in 2010 dollars.) In recent years, while AEA has wielded unsurpassed clout by virtue of its focused financial support and lobbying effort, it has faded somewhat as a voting bloc. Some teachers look at their currently-comfortable paychecks, confuse themselves with members of the Mittelbourgeoisie, and vote Republican in response. Others heed the call of business-shill "clergy," and vote Republican because Democrats aren't trying hard enough to execute women trying to obtain abortions. Where the Republican attack on public education will be launched - reduced tenure rights to intimidate teachers, or diversion of scarce dollars to lower-paying charter schools - is not certain. That it will be launched is certain. Sooner, rather than later, any person with the wit to attain the baccalaureate which is a vocational prerequisite for teachers will realize these Republicans mean to do their wallets harm. The impact of 50,000 truly-ticked-off, college-educated-articulate men and women, with starting salaries of $36,000.00 from which to contribute, and all summer off work, can never be underestimated.

Final Cut Express: Keyframing
Keyframing allows you to alter the appearance of the video by adding special effects, and Final Cut Express is one way in which you can use this type of software program. Final Cut Express allows you to cut the parts of the video while it is playing, using keyframes. Whether you want the frame to be bigger or smaller, to move from side to side or even skip across the page, then you can mange this in Final Cut Express using this method. If you have not used this program before, then you may be rather unsure of what to do in order to get these effects. You can learn some basic keyframing skills by following a few simple rules.
Materials Needed
- Final Cut Express
- Computer
- Video File
Step 1: Opening Your File
You will need to have a suitable video media filed saved to your Desktop. Make sure that it is in a convenient location, and you have named it in a way that allows you to clearly identify it without looking at the pictures. Open up Final Cut Express, and choose the edit function. You should then be able to pick your video file from among those offered, and have the timeline appear in the File Cut window.
Step 2: Fading Using Keyframes
Begin by a simple move, such as keyframing a fade. Enlarge the keyframe so that you can see all of the parts. Take your overlay line, which is one of the horizontal lines running through the center of the timeframe, and make it more opaque. Clip your pen tool to the overlay line, and then click upon it to place the first keyframe. Take the pen a little bit further down the line, and make a second keyframe in the same way. Return to the first keyframe, and use this to turn the opacity right down. As the video plays, the first keyframe will ask it to make the frames opaque, and the second one will turn the opacity back to the starting point.
Step 3: Scaling the Video
If you want to scale the video frame so that it moves up and down in size, then you will need to add some more keyframes. Go to the Canvas window of your Final Cut Express, and click upon the Image Wireframe. Place the clip onto the timepline, and use the handles at the side of the frame to move the picture inwards or outwards. This will affect the size. Click onto the keyframe button, and wait until the edge of the picture turns green. A green edge means that you have a saved keyframe. Take a second clip, and make sure that the video is enlarged again.
The Final Cut Express should automatically save this keyframe, so it should turn green without any prompting from you. Save these altered images in your file, and then play the movie to see how it looks.Popular P&S Cameras for High Quality Photos:

I had soooo much fun! Let me introduce you to the newlyweds:
Tuesday, October 12, 2010
Mr and Mrs Owl
The bride wore pearl-encrusted vintage ivory satin ... the groom resplendent in waistcoat and top hat.
I had soooo much fun! Let me introduce you to the newlyweds:
I don't know why, but yesterday morning when I awoke almost the first thing that came into my mind was a design for a bride and groom owl. I hadn't been thinking of weddings or owls and neither of those appeared in my dreams, so why that particular thought should just pop into my brain I am not sure! But "ours is not to question why" as they say, so later on after dinner I sat down to create the card I had imagined.
I had soooo much fun! Let me introduce you to the newlyweds:
Seriously, how adorable are these two?
The top hat and veil were both made using the "vest" part of the owl punch and I also used the scallop oval punch for the top part of the veil. The sentiment comes from the Word Play set. Wish I knew someone who was getting married - I'd love to see their faces when they received this!
Thanks for dropping by. Have a great day.

Lisbon: President Barack Obama and NATO`s 27 other leaders open a two-day summit Friday on keeping the Cold War alliance relevant — but the meeting is being overshadowed by the escalating war in Afghanistan, where the alliance is struggling to contain Taliban militants.
NATO officials say they expect unanimous support from the allies for Obama`s plans for a new, expanded missile defense system in Europe that would be based on an existing shield meant to defend military units from attack. The US already has a missile defense system based mainly in North America, and it is planning one for its European allies.
But Obama will face tough questions from US allies on his exit strategy in Afghanistan. He will also meet with leaders of the European Union on Saturday to defend his preference for stimulus spending at a time when many European nations are enacting economic austerity measures.
The leaders are expected on Saturday to endorse a plan by Gen. David Petraeus, the top US and NATO commander in Afghanistan, to start handing over responsibility for security in some areas of Afghanistan to government forces in 2011. The plan is to end the alliance`s combat role by 2014 if conditions on the ground allow, but to retain significant forces in the country after that to train and advise the Afghan army and police.
The alliance`s target is in line with Afghan President Hamid Karzai`s goal of having his forces take the main responsibility for security by 2014, Obama said in an interview published Friday in El Pais, Spain`s leading newspaper.
Obama also told the paper he expected the allies will pledge additional trainers for Afghan security forces.
"This effort is going to take time and our commitment to Afghanistan and the Afghan people is for the long-term," Obama said. "We cannot turn our backs on the Afghan people."
US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton defended the high cost that European nations are paying for their participation in the war in Afghanistan, and urged them to stay the course despite dire economic difficulties for many countries that have translated into wage cuts, lost jobs and massive government budget reductions.
"Though we are very supportive of the difficult decisions that will have to be made concerning the economy, just as back home President Obama is making difficult decisions concerning our own economy, we believe that the mission we are pursuing in Afghanistan must continue," Clinton told reporters.
The alliance has 140,000 troops in Afghanistan, two-thirds of them Americans. The government`s security forces are being built up to just over 300,000 members. Their Taliban opponents are estimated to number up to 30,000 men.
On other issues, NATO`s newly expanded anti-missile shield would cost euro200 million ($273 million) over the next 10 years, said NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, who also wants Russia to cooperate in the project. Despite claims by protesters that debt-plagued Europe can`t afford it amid austerity cuts, alliance officials insisted the project is worth it.
"We think it`s a good thing to have a missile defense system which is NATO-based," Britain`s Defense Secretary Liam Fox told BBC Radio 4`s Today program. "That provides us with communal protection over the years ahead, it`s cost-effective for us, and there are some 30 countries now which either have or are developing ballistic missiles that this will give us protection from."
NATO`s leaders will not explicitly identify any potential enemy, although in the past officials have publicly singled out Iran and its ballistic missile program. But alliance member Turkey, which maintains close ties with Tehran, has refused to let NATO name Iran as a threat.
"We cannot accept that any specific country (including) our neighbor Iran to be shown as a target," Turkish President Abdullah Gul said. "It is absolutely out of the question."
Founded in 1949 to counter the threat of a Soviet invasion, the 28-member alliance is in the midst of a mid-life crisis as it searches for relevance almost 20 years after the collapse of its communist rival.
Other elements of NATO`s new mission statement expected to be adopted Friday include new roles such as cyber-warfare and missions outside NATO`s traditional area in Europe, such as anti-piracy patrols off the Somali coastline.
NATO`s previous strategic concept focused mainly on its peacekeeping role in places like Bosnia and Kosovo. It was adopted in 1999, soon after the end of the Cold War and before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks in the United States forced the alliance to take on missions such as counterinsurgency warfare in Afghanistan.
The new document will warn European governments not to slash defense spending at a time of economic crisis, because of the growing discrepancy in military capabilities between the United States and Europe`s NATO members. Most European nations are not even meeting the minimal requirement of devoting 2 percent of their GDP to defense.
America`s latest defense budget of over $710 billion dwarfs the combined annual military expenditures of its European allies, which total about $280 billion.
Allied commanders have highlighted successes this year against Taliban insurgents in Helmand and Kandahar provinces, to emphasize that transition is ready.
But allied casualties have also reached record levels of some 650 dead this year, and the Taliban have spread out into parts of Afghanistan where they were not active before.
Failure in Afghanistan could leave alliance members questioning whether NATO`s nation-building goals in the embattled country have been worth the cost, and whether they will support similar missions in the future, a RAND Corporation study said Friday.

"If Utterly Devoted is Regina Scott at her best, The Irredeemable Miss Renfield is Regina Scott at her worst."
Now, I'd like to think that a writer grows with each book, so, theoretically, The Unflappable Miss Fairchild should be my worst book, as it was my first. Of course, I tweaked it before its recent reissue. But, based on that review, Irredeemable sounded, well, irredeemable.
I was determined that that would not be the case. I made myself look at what readers had said. Most people liked the hero, Leslie Petersborough, now Marquis of Hastings on the death of his father. I will admit Leslie was one of my favorites as well. No, most concerns seemed to center around my heroine, Cleopatra Renfield, and her wild plan to stop her stepsisters from interfering in her life by misbehaving.
You see, Cleo's parents died when she was a youth, and her much older stepsisters packed her off to boarding school to learn to behave like a lady. Now, they are determined to marry her off. And Cleo is determined to stop them.
In the original version, Cleo thought that causing a scandal would stop all suitors from pursuing her. She seemed oblivious to the serious consequences that could arise for a young lady behaving in a shocking manner in Regency England. One reviewer called her "woefully naïve."
No more. I firmed up Cleo's backstory, showed why a young lady like her might be driven to such extremes. I didn't shy away from the consequences, but I showed why the alternative, marriage to someone she despises, might be worse in Cleo's eyes. I hope readers will see Cleo as spirited, brave, tremendously loyal to those she loves, and not so very naïve this time.
The Irredeemable Miss Renfield is now available for sale at fine retailers near you. I hope you find her thoroughly redeemed.

The bullying of academics follows a pattern of horrendous, Orwellian elimination rituals, often hidden from the public. Despite the anti-bullying policies (often token), bullying is rife across campuses, and the victims (targets) often pay a heavy price. "Nothing strengthens authority as much as silence." Leonardo da Vinci - "All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men [or good women] do nothing." Edmund Burke

Study confirms role of perpetrator incompetence in workplace bullying
Bullies present themselves as omnipotent and powerful to dissuade confrontation and to keep from being revealed as something different. Targets intuitively sense that bullying is compensatory behavior, attempts to cover wrongdoing with bluster and bravado. It's like the Wizard of Oz in the palace who is exposed by Toto, the dog, when he pulled back the curtain showing the small man pretending to be bigger than he was. It's nearly impossible to call a bully insecure or cursed with a sense of self-inadequacy because of the power they often enjoy in the workplace. However, the intuition of bullied targets and witnessing co-workers is spot on. Bullies can be small people.
Now there is some science to back the common-sense notion.
In a 4-study research paper to be published in the November issue of the journal Psychological Science, by Nathaniel Fast (University of Southern California) and Serena Chen (University of California, Berkeley) linked aggression at work to perceived inadequacy of people in power (bosses). [Fast, N.J. & Chen, S. (2009) When the boss feels inadequate: Power, incompetence and aggression. Psychological Science, Nov. 2009] Three of the studies tested working adults and are most relevant to the workplace.
In the first study, 90 working people completed assessments of their formal authority and power at work, the degree to which they feared being negatively evaluated by others (the inadequacy measure), and their level of aggressiveness as traditionally measured (willingness to hit others, ease with which arguments are entered). The aggression survey is a reliable predictor of physical violence, verbal abuse and the tendency to get into fights. For people with organizational power, believing themselves to be incompetent led them to be more aggressive than competent people. This was not true for people without power.
In the second study with working adults, some people were guided to think about their power or competence beforehand. Aggression translated into how loud (decibel levels from 0 to 130) they would be willing to blast a horn at another person who made mistakes over 10 trials. For people who already had organizational power, being primed to think even more about that power made them more aggressive if they also felt incompetent.
The third study of adults asked participants to rate their organizational power and their aggressiveness as in the first study. People were then sorted into low- and high-power groups based the demand their jobs required. Low power tasks typically involved doing simple work, completing tasks, High power tasks involved influencing others -- supervising, closing sales. Then, the experimenters manipulated the perceived level of competence for people within each power group. Those subjected to their own incompetence were instructed to write about an experience where they failed to meet a task demand. Competence was primed by having those people recall a time when they successfully completed work projects.
This study also added another manipulated factor. Half of the people in each group were asked to select the most important value to them from a list (social life, relationships, business, etc.). They then wrote a paragraph justifying the value's personal importance. This was done to bolster a sense of self-worth, a self-affirmation. People in the no affirmation group selected their least favorite value and wrote about how the value could be important to others.
In all three studies, incompetence increased aggression for high-power, but not for powerless, working adults. Aggression decreased when powerful people were reminded of their competence. When incompetence was primed (the person was reminded of failures) for low-power people, aggression decreased. The affirmation factor created some ego defensiveness and it seems to be the explanatory factor for why power and incompetence mix the way they do to lead to more aggression.
Thus, the results point to the dangerous combination of incompetence in the hands of people with power. The authors, Fast and Chen, highlight that their work demonstrates that power holders have an increased vulnerability to perceiving potential psychological threats. Rather than feeling safe in their positions of power with the ability to disproportionately affect the outcomes of other people on a routine basis, the feelings of incompetence escalate the perception of threat in the eyes of people with actual power and authority. In turn, this leads to ego defensiveness (a self-protective mental device) that leads to aggression.
There was some limited exposure of participants to flattery, but the manipulations were weak and artificial compared to real-world kissing-up, ingratiation, that bullies receive at work. So, research on flattery's effect on aggression by a boss is yet to be advanced.
It would be an innovative to extrapolate link between perceived threat and aggression to the organizational level. Executive sponsors feel threatened when their bullying toadies are accused of wrongdoing. They react defensively. With guidance from legal counsel and HR, the entire organization responds defensively attacking the bullied accuser who dared to reveal internal weaknesses. But that is a study for another day. As they say, in the academe, further study is warranted.

Incompetence and power - what a cocktail... my path on the grievance process is met with ever more unbelievable attempts to intimidate me... described by the chair of the grievance committee as 'minor changes to the grievance process'
... such rich data - says the researcher in me..

Each Sunday evening we will review our favorite and least favorite events of the previous week, and share our perspective on how the team is doing. Please enjoy responsibly.
Cheers! (Something good that happened)
Jonathan Lucroy is a Two-Time All-Star: For a while there Ryan Braun was a perennial All-Star before PEDs took the bloom of his rose. Now he can't even get in on the Final Vote. Thankfully, the Brewers have a legitimate, not-just-a-pity-pick-since-every-team-gets-one all-star in Jonathan Lucroy. This is only Lucroy's second All-Star Game, and as you might recall his first one was a doozy. In 2014, he was 2-for-2 and drove in two of the NL's there runs with a pair of run-scoring doubles.
Lucroy will have a 1.000 all-star batting average going into this year's game. Not too shabby.
Buzzkill (Something forgettable that happened)
Aaron Hill's Tenure as a Brewer is Already Over: There are plenty of fans of rebuilding teams who are anxious to deal just about every player by the trade deadline. If you tune into local sports talk radio, there is no shortage of folks calling in and talking about how they can't wait to get rid of Ryan Braun, Jonathan Lucroy, and any other player not currently in a coma. Personally, I'm always a little sad to see anyone go, even if it's the right thing for the team and the player. Call me sentimental.
Even though Hill was only in Milwaukee a few months, I get the impression he earned a lot of respect for being a versatile defender with a veteran's poise. He got off to a rough start, hitting only .169 at the end of April. When he was traded to the Red Sox last week, Hill's average was .283, which says a lot about his moxie. He only played 78 games as a Brewer, which didn't give him a lot of time to distinguish himself, but he did have one stand-out performance – May 7 in Cincinnati when he hit three homers, including a grand slam.
Hill will never make the Wall of Honor, but at least we'll have that one game to remember him by. And if we don't remember that, we'll probably remember the fact that Hill looks about 15 years older than he actually is. Seriously, he turned 34 in spring and he looks almost 50.
Here's to You (Standout player(s) or play(s) of the week)
Jonathan Villar Delivers First Walk-Off Win of 2016: Not having a walk-off win until July isn't something most fans notice, just like most of us don't know off-hand how many extra-inning games the Brewers have played. Then you'll be watching a game when the Brewers are down by a run in the ninth and Brian Anderson will remark, "the Brewers have not had a walk-off yet the year." It's a perfectly relevant fact to point out, but the lack of walk-offs isn't the kind of thing that inspires a sense of loss. It's possible a team might not have a walk-off all year, but I doubt there would be any kind of sabermetric impact if that were the case.
Still, walk-offs are pretty sweet, especially when they come against the goddamn Cardinals. And even if a replay review delays the celebration.
Back on the Wagon (Thoughts on the week ahead)
Lucroy puts his 1.000 All-Star Game batting average on the line Tuesday, assuming he gets an at-bat. Then the Brewers open the second half of the year in Cincinnati. Without Reds-killer Hill in the lineup, can any Brewer have a multi-homer game? The 2016 home stretch begins next week…

Why hello there darlings!
I'm back from my busy little weekend and I can now safely say that our Saturday night town tree-lighting shindig went off like a hit. Our band brought down the house with Christmas tune after Christmas tune and what a festive little evening it turned out to be. Laced with Christmas cookies, Santa Claus coming in on a firetruck (gotta love it), and of course the community Christmas tree being all lit up in it's glory, how could I not be immersed in and completely soak up all this holiday spirit? Unfortunately we weren't able to record any of our tunes but you might just see some photos in the near future and we will be playing again on the night before Christmas Eve, so stay tuned :)
Anyhow, a warm front came through our town this week, so bare legs it is for now. Though it's warm and toasty out, I'm kind of in the mood for mulled cider. Anyone else out there with me? Once the holidays arrive I really do crave cinnamon spiced everything.

The business of investing is much about making good choices at the right time. The online gambling stock investor has an easy time choosing which companies in which to put their money by reading the tons of financial analysis available on the sector. These reports bring the financial picture of these companies into clear focus allowing for speculation that reaps positive results.
A recent article in Forbes online has pinpointed the benefits of owning part of three companies that offer online betting services in the U.K. The three firms that were examined, William Hill, Paddy Power and 32Red were seen as excellent investment opportunities for various reasons. It was pointed out that even though there will be some serious rethinking going on by players in the gambling sector in the United Kingdom once the new rules on taxes and regulations come into effect there are still good investment opportunities to be had.
William Hill has a strategy to boost its online gambling initiatives and trim the overhead when it comes to land based operations. The solid management style has not gone unnoticed by investors who see long term growth headed to rewarding bottom lines although the new tax rules will impact the firm for a short time.
Paddy Power doesn't present an outstanding picture of rapid growth but rather similar to the William Hill story it has lasting power. The writer of the article Royston Wild concludes that, "the firm's aggressive, multi-channel approach, not to mention further expansion into overseas markets, looks set to deliver exceptional long-term growth."
32Red has ramped up its advertizing budget with the result being a larger number of active consumers. It's alliance with Kambi Sports Solutions will let 32Red capitalize on the sports betting services in time for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. The company's earnings are expected to grow significantly with its ability to offer mobile and cross selling of sports and casino products.

'I'll Be There' (IBT) is a movement of unconditional love founded on the belief that every act of kindness, no matter how large or small, leaves a lasting and powerful imprint on both the giver and the receiver. Each journey begins with an individual performing an act of kindness, posting it on social media, and tagging three people to do the same. This simple initial act begins to dispel the sense of hopelessness that often surrounds each of us and has the potential to catalyze a wave of compassion that ripples through communities around the world
IBT is grounded in the belief that everyday civilians can truly change the world. Many of us walk through life witnessing people experiencing hardships, and yet so often we do not know how to respond. The problems seem too vast, too overwhelming to make any real difference. We are constantly bombarded with headlines that make us afraid and motivate us to insulate ourselves from others. But there is another way.
Right now, as you read this, there is a growing movement of humans walking the streets performing simple acts of kindness. They are buying a cups of coffee for someone experiencing homelessness, donating cans of food, or leaving a little extra on a waiter's tip. Project participants are going into nursing homes and chatting with lonely senior citizens and bringing balloons to sick children in the hospital. All around us, there are countless opportunities to touch the lives of others and inspire hope — if we choose to do so.

Learn here about the symptoms, key factors, effects and treatment of a Binge Eating Disorder.
Just about everyone finds that they overeat from time to time. Take the Thanksgiving Day meal or the Christmas festivities. If you happen to have a late study session or are cramming for exams, you may down a whole bag of chips..
However, when this becomes an uncontrollable and regular habit, then you have to accept the fact that you may be suffering from binge eating disorder. Binge eaters go to food when they have to cope with stress or other negative emotions. However, their compulsive eating habits just makes these people feel worse. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Binge eating disorder is treatable. It takes some professional help and probably a support group, but you can learn to break the cycle and stop binge eating.
A binge eater consumes a huge amount of different foods while having the feeling of being powerless to stop and out of control. A binge episode will usually last about two hours but there are some people who binge all day long on and off.
You will find that binge eaters will eat even though they are not hungry and they will continue to eat long after they have reached the full level. Binge eaters may go on a gorging rampage eating food as fast as possible and hardly even registering what they have eaten.
Ask the experts and they will say that different things come into play with binge eaters – a person's genes, experience and emotions. If you seek out certain studies, you will find that biological abnormalities are a contributing factor toward binge eating.
For instance, the hypothalamus, which is part of the brain that controls appetite, may be sending incorrect messages about fullness and hunger. Researchers have also found that there is a genetic mutation that seems to cause binging. It also appears that low levels of serotonin, a chemical in the brain, may also play a role in compulsive eating.
Binge eating and depression are strongly linked. It appears that up to half of all binge eater have been or are depressed. Loneliness, low self-esteem and body dissatisfaction all play a part in binge eating..
Effects of bingeing
When a person binges, this leads to various emotional, physical and social problems. People that suffer from binge eating report more health issues, insomnia, stress and suicidal thoughts than people without this disorder.
Some other common side effects are anxiety, depression and substance abuse. When a person binges, this also interferes with a person's career and relationships.
However, the most prominent effect of bingeing is weight gain. Then one is filled with feeling of low self-esteem. Obesity will also cause a host of other medical conditions such as osteoarthritis, Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, gallbladder disease, heart disease and high cholesterol just to name a few.
The higher your body mass index is, the greater is your risk for health problems.
It can be quite difficult to overcome food addiction and binge eating. A healthy relationship with food must be developed. Aim should be that the food is meeting your nutritional needs and will not be meeting your emotional needs.
Psychotherapy can be a good tool in order to get a handle on your binge eating. However, it involves not only a financial commitment but a commitment of time as well.
An important component in your road to wellness is to monitor you food intake. You must also identify triggers and try to develop alternative reactions to them.
Exercise is an important element toward a binge eater's wellness. Exercise is also a very good avenue for relieving anxiety and stress.
A binge eater must come to accept his or her body. Many of these people do not get down to a BMI of 25 or less. They are going to have to accept their shape and regain their self-confidence. This can be done through psychotherapy.
Unfortunately, there are no magic pills to help with binge eating disorder. However, there are some medications that may decrease the desire to eat.
There are many materials available that can help break the binge eating cycle. Other people do well with a group therapy kind of setting. Many people find that a 12-step program works for them.
Eating disorders are dangerous to both the psyche and the body and it is of utmost importance that you catch it before damage to the body occurs.

Whilst a good PR person is gold, if you don't have the budget to pay for these services, don't think you can't generate some of your own PR.
I got an email from a gal on our Networx database asking about the Zero Budget Marketing CD we have and we got into a bit of an email chat about how to market her business, Sassi Sam. She's passionate about her products, but on a tight budget.
She'd sent out a media release - but I stressed the importance of following up, even if it's one journo at a time. She took on the challenge - and a few calls later, got this piece in a Sydney paper over the weekend! A result in a week - and it didn't cost her a cent.
So if you've got a great product or service or story, don't be afraid to get on the phone and pitch a story idea to an editor or journo. If you're onto a good thing, I guarantee you'll see some results if you show the initiative.
ps. And if you need a great handbag hanger, you now know where to get one!

Cameron Diaz sipping champagne in the Caribbean sun, Angelina and Brad running barefoot on the beach, and Leonardo DiCaprio crunching on crab claws and diving into the colorful depths of the coral reef – super yachts and celebrities seem to go together in almost perfect fashion. Maybe it's because the high seas are the perfect escape from prying eyes, because the glitzy coastline is an endless array of starry eyed parties and perfect bliss, or because relaxing in a bubbling Jacuzzi with a bottle of vintage champagne is the only way to spend those gentle hours between movie shoots. For those who love to rub shoulders with the rich and famous, MY Starfire can charter you across the sunlit woven blue and into those divine destinations where the party never stops. If you fancy frolicking in the waves with rock gods and movie stars, then the following spots are simply perfect for finding that Oscar studded crowd.
The French Riviera is world famous for its glittering beaches, its five star restaurants, and its gleaming array of luxury yachts lined up in the most expensive marinas. From the bright lights of the casinos to the annual film festival, this designer spot always proves itself to be a major draw for some of the biggest names in the industry. Super yacht days in Cannes are all about soaking up the cocktails and chintz at the coolest hangouts, riding Jet Ski's around the glorious coastline, and nibbling your way through an endless array of rich Provençal foods. Dine besides Madonna at the Felix in the Croisette, shimmy beside Jay Z at the achingly cool Baoli nightclub, sip something special with Jude Law at the Mouton Cadet wine bar, and work on your tan next to Ryan Gosling at the infamous Nikki Beach.
When winter creeps in with icy fingers there is nowhere that calls to super yachts quite like the Caribbean. MY Starfire can take you gliding into paradise for long and lingering days spent indulging in onboard spa bliss, fresh seafood suppers, designer shopping, and snorkeling in the shallows. When you want some high class company you will be spoilt for choice with the array of A list names that flock to the fabulous shores of St Barts. Laugh along with Bruce Willis as you dine on caviar and champagne cocktails at the Carl Gustaf Hotel, watch Beyonce strut her stuff at the ultra-hip Nikki Beach Club, wave at the Victoria Secret models who fly to the island every year for their calendar shoot, and if you are lucky enough to be there when the clock strikes midnight head to the legendary Roman Abramovich New Year party.
The ultimate super yacht party destination, this Spanish island is the place to be if you want to dance until dawn, witness killer sunsets, and hang around with the socialites of the century. Spend MY Starfire days being pampered to perfection, waterskiing out in the deep blue waters, and sipping the finest cocktails from the comfort of the aft deck watching those magnificent sunsets bloom. Those who want to mingle with the superstars of the moment will find most of them shining along the marina, hailed as one of the favorite millionaire ports in the seven seas. You can catch Paris Hilton careening around the coast on her Jet Ski, you can relax on the sands with Orlando Bloom, and you can kick back with Lindsey Lohan and pals in the pretty and wild Cipriani restaurant. When the moon rises this is your chance to go and throw down shapes with Jade Jagger and P Diddy at the Privilege Club.
Super yachts, white sands, and effortless blue bliss – there's something about the easy breezy beauty of Barbados that simply keeps on calling. For those in the know this is where pop star Rhianna came from, it's also where you can drink your weight in rum cocktails, dive from the swim platform of MY Starfire into the turquoise arms of the big blue, and stay up late counting stars in the sky and falling in love with the good life once more. If you want to indulge in a first class spa experience at the same time as striking up a conversation with Kylie Minogue and Gwyneth Paltrow then the famously quaint Sandy Lane should be calling. Golf lovers can also tee off alongside Tiger Woods who married at this resort in 2004. Aside from Sandy Lane you can also bump into the likes of Robert Plant, the Beckhams, and Hugh Grant sunning and splashing on these dreamy shores.

Bestech Australia presents the Anglestar electronic protractor system from Sherborne Sensors. These precision inclinometers are ready to use, standalone systems for angle measurements. The system incorporates the AccuStar Electronic Inclinometer, a digital display, and a four foot cable (Cable lengths up to 200 feet are available). AccuStar Electronic Inclinometers are compact and rugged angle measurement devicee and are ideal where space is critical and environmental conditions are serious design concerns.
Features of the precision inclinometers include:
- At the heart of the inclinometers is a capacitance based sensor with no moving parts. When rotated about the sensing axis, the inclinometer provides an exceedingly linear variation in capacitance, which is electronically converted into angular data
- The sensor and low power CMOS electronics of the precision inclinometers are encased in a rugged plastic housing for those harsh conditions
- The angle measurement system operates on a 9 volt battery and needs no external power
- There are three systems to choose from, ±20 degrees with a 0.01 degree resolution or ±45° and ±90° with 0.1 degree resolution
- Platform levelling
- Antenna positioning
- Mining equipment
- Machine tooling
- Can also be used for measurements of rock shifts
- Earth movement
- Vibration measurements

20 ¶ And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
2 And he laid hold on the dragon, the serpent of old, which is the Devil and Satan and bound him a thousand years
3 and cast him into the bottomless pit and shut him up and set a seal upon it, that he should deceive the Gentiles no more, until the thousand years should be fulfilled; and after it is necessary that he be loosed a little while.
4 And I saw thrones, and those who sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them; and I saw the souls of those that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus and for the word of God and who had not worshipped the beast neither its image neither had received its mark upon their foreheads or in their hands; and they shall live and reign with Christ the thousand years.
5 But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy is he that has part in the first resurrection; on such the second death has no authority, but they shall be priests of God and of the Christ and shall reign with him a thousand years.
7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison
8 and shall go out to deceive the Gentiles which are upon the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle; the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth and compassed the camp of the saints about and the beloved city; and fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them.
10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and they shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
11 ¶ And I saw a great white throne and him that was seated upon it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and their place was not found.
12 And I saw the dead, great and small, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened; which is the book of life; and the dead were judged by those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and Hades delivered up the dead which were in them; and the judgment of each one was according to their works.
14 And Hades and death were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Student Awards & Recognitions
Pictured: Kimberly Whitaker
Public and Community Health would like to honor Kimberly Whitaker with the "Outstanding Student in Public and Community Health" award. She was also named "Major of the Year" by SHAPE.
Pictured: Dr. Miranda Terry (left) presents Matthew Allen (right) the October 2016 Department of Applied Health Sciences Outstanding Student in Philanthropy award.
Matthew Allen was recognized as the Outstanding Student in Philanthropy by the Department of Applied Health Sciences in October 2016. He is heavily involved in campus. He was co-founder of and serves as Vice President of Student Health Educators Association (SHEA), serves as the Student Coordinator of the Health and Wellness Peer Education program, serves as a Residential College Adviser at Hester, and assists the Women's Center and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Offices on campus with their programming.
In addition to these campus activities, he also organized a Pet Drive (think food drive but for pet supplies) for the Humane Society of Calloway County during the Fall 2015 semester and volunteers for several community agencies, for example, he assisted with the balloon pop game at "National Day of Play" Celebration on October 1st.
According to his advisor and SHEA faculty advisor, Dr. Miranda Terry, "Matt goes above and beyond the regular workload of a college student. He likes to do community health programming, which has made him think about pursing a graduate degree in Student Affairs. He does all of this while maintaining a very high (almost 4.0) GPA while he pursues an undergraduate degree in Public and Community Health and a minor in Psychology."

a). you have absolutely no interest in this website. Trust me.

Urned Love
I finished off each urn with a clear coat, floral foam, moss and a pear.
They sit in my kitchen window sill, above my sink, which is really white and not the sickly pink that the picture shows. I always seem to do a post on my windows on cloudy days, so the picture turns out a little off in color.

What a cute idea. I've been looking for something for my kitchen window as well, but haven't found anything yet.

I had checked in on ya earlier today and you hadn't posted anything new yet. I need my "Joy" fix since I've got nothing creative going on and you always do. I thought to myself, "I'll bet she's working on the urns". :)
And there they are!
I like that quote about the pants, I'll have to remember that.
They turned out really nice and have a nice sheen now. What are they made of? I can see changing them out for different seasons too. They'd look cute with little gift boxes all wrapped up sitting on berry wreaths for the holiday season, pumpkins for fall, eggs at Easter etc.
Have a great weekend!

Dry laundry detergents are widely used as cleaning agents to dry clean several household products such as clothes and apparels. These are a mixture of chemical compounds which can effectively remove oil, grease, dirt, soil, stains, etc. from fabrics. In addition to cleaning, dry laundry detergents aid in bleaching, softening, and conditioning of fabrics. These detergents are typically formulated using surfactants, builders, alkalis, enzymes, fabric softeners, brighteners, oxygen bleaches, and fragrances. Surfactants are the active ingredients that impart cleaning properties to laundry detergents. Surfactants used in detergents are categorized into cationic, anionic, and non-ionic. These can include fatty acids, fatty alcohols, alkyl sulfates, alkyl sulfonates, alkylbenzene sulfonates, alcohol ethoxylates, etc. They are obtained from several sources such as petrochemicals, vegetable oils, and animal fats. Builders improve the performance of surfactants, while enzymes increase the speed of the cleaning process.

Dry laundry detergents include washing powders, washing bars, and washing tablets. The surfactant molecules present in dry laundry detergents form micelle with the oil and grease of clothes in presence of water. The hydrophilic group of surfactants is attracted to polar water molecules, whereas the hydrophobic group of surfactants attract the non-polar oil and dirt particles. Thus, detergents suspend oil, soil, and other particles present in water and allow them to be removed from the surface of fabric.
The global dry laundry detergents market is projected to experience moderate growth in the next few years. Asia Pacific dominated the dry laundry detergents market in 2014. Rising awareness about hygiene maintenance in developing countries such as China, India, Thailand, and South Korea has led to considerable increase in demand for these detergents. The dry laundry detergents market in Asia Pacific is estimated to expand at a rapid growth rate during the forecast period. North America also held a significant share of the global dry laundry detergents market in 2014, followed by Europe. However, increasing consumer preference for liquid detergents in developed countries can translate into a sluggish growth rate in the dry laundry detergents market in the next few years. Latin America and Middle East & Africa are expected to be the potential markets for dry laundry detergents in the near future. Developing countries such as Brazil and Saudi Arabia are anticipated to emerge as prospective markets for dry laundry detergents during the forecast period. The dry laundry detergents market in Latin America and Middle East & Africa is expected to exhibit a fast-paced CAGR during the forecast period.
Rise in per capita income in developing countries such as India, China, and Brazil is likely to propel the dry laundry detergents market in the next few years. Increase in consumer awareness and rapid urbanization in these developing countries are projected to boost the textiles and apparels market. This, in turn, is anticipated to drive demand for dry laundry detergents in the homecare sector. Furthermore, growth of the hospitality industry in Asia Pacific has led to substantial rise in demand for dry laundry detergents from hotels and restaurants. However, increasing usage of liquid detergents is anticipated to hamper the growth of the dry laundry detergents market during the forecast period. Use of ingredients extracted from bio-based and renewable sources is expected to lead to lucrative opportunities in the market.
Key manufacturers of dry laundry detergents include Carroll Company, Church & Dwight Co. Inc., Henkel AG & Company KGaA, Johnson & Johnson, Kao Corporation, Procter & Gamble, Reckitt Benckiser Group plc, The Colgate-Palmolive Company, and Unilever.

Apparently I need to get blogging some more according to my sister. So here is an update of things I have wanted to put up, but have not had the time.
This is Ayla's friend, Taylor, that I watch every other Friday. They were born only two days appart from each other. It has been really good to have someone over for Ayla to learn to share and be nice too. It looks like they are fighting in the picture, but Ayla is just laughing at Taylor. Anyway, they have become quite the friends. They even look for each other in sacrament. It is pretty cute.
We had some pretty bad wind last Monday night. I had told Jord that he should not park under the basketball hoop because the pole wasn't looking very good. Well he didn't really listen to me. Luckily for him i woke up Tuesday morning to find that the basketball hoop hand been blown over, but it didn't fall completely. I took the picture after I told him to move the car of course. I ended up getting him a new one for an early father's day gift. Hopefully we can get it up this week.
We went camping for Memorial Day weekend. It wasn't too bad. It rained the first couple of days off and on. Sunday was awesome. Ayla's three favorite things were the seesaw, grandpa putting her up in the tree, and Hemi's kennel. She was such a little monkey. She didn't even want to come down out of the tree. Then when Conner saw Ayla in the kennel he thought it would be fun if they were both in there with Hemi locked in. I can't believe they all fit in there, but they had fun. At least the kids did. I can't really speak for Hemi. Jordan and Jimmy spent way too much time trying to recreate a Little House on the Prarie seen with the dogs. Hey, whatever makes them happy. We did the usual, like playing games and just hanging out. We even celebrated Jordan and Ayla's birthdays. Jordan's just happened to land right on Memorial Day this year. We sang happy birthday and then ate some cake. Overall it was a much needed relaxing weekend. Although, I have to admit the whole time I was just thinking about the five hours of work I had sitting at home waiting for me. At least I could just relax knowing there was no way I could do it while camping. I just can't wait until the next camping trip. I have some more pics from the trip that I will have to email to you all.
