By Dr. Mercola
Most of us appreciate science in helping us understand the truth about health and disease. Unfortunately, much of the science we rely on today is colored and confounded by massive conflicts of interest.
Award winning associate professor Gayle Delong has an interesting perspective of this topic. While working in the Finance Department of the Baruch College in New York City, she has studied the influence of conflicts of interest as it pertains to vaccine safety and research.
"I have two daughters with autism," she admits. "When they were first diagnosed—my older daughter was diagnosed in 2000, and my younger in 2003—there was this idea kicking around that vaccines might have some kind of association with autism.
When I first heard this I thought, 'That's crazy. That couldn't possibly be the case.' It was only in 2005, when the book Evidence of Harm: Mercury in Vaccines and the Autism Epidemic: A Medical Controversy came out, that the association between vaccines and autism really made sense to me and my husband.
We were shocked by the idea that government regulators could allow vaccines that could have such devastating side effects. But it began to make sense after we read Evidence of Harm."
Regulatory Capture—When Industry Influences Regulatory Decisions
The original theory was that mercury (thimerosal) was the main source of the problem. That theory has now been expanded, and as revealed in my interview with Dr. Lucija Tomljenovic, vaccine adjuvants, such as aluminum, as well as viruses and other ingredients, may play a significant role.
Not to mention the fact we're now "carpet bombing" our children with vaccines, to use Delong's expression.
Common sense would suggest that if we're giving our children more than five dozen vaccinations (69 doses of 16 vaccines are recommended in the US) from day of birth to age 18, we're probably overvaccinating them.
Yet, authorities continue to insist that "more is better" when it comes to vaccines, without providing adequate scientific evidence to justify that assumption.
"So, I began to think of this in terms of an economist. I began looking at something called regulatory capture," Delong says. "It's the idea that the industry influences the decisions made by a regulator.
The whole pharmaceutical industry is influencing the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)... In this case... the FDA licensed vaccines. But they were also tasked with doing research on vaccines.
Here we have an agency that is approving vaccines, and then told to say, 'OK, we'll make sure these vaccines are safe.' Once they've approved some, and once they've licensed them, very rarely are they going to turn around and say, 'Oh, we made a mistake.'"
After the FDA approves a vaccine, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) decides whether it should go on the recommended schedule for American citizens. Until very recently this included mainly children, but now they're expanding that to adults as well.
In addition to adding vaccines deemed necessary to the vaccine schedule, the CDC is also supposed to provide information about vaccine safety. That too is a conflict of interest.
Regulators are mandated to screen the product for safety, but in this case, they're also promoting it. In addition to that, regulators keep moving through the revolving door between the regulatory agencies of the very industry they are regulating; a dangerous and reprehensible practice.
Examples of 'Revolving Door' Between Regulatory Agencies and Industry Abound
Dr. Julie Gerberding is a perfect illustration of this dangerous practice. She headed up the CDC from 2002 to 2009, after which she became the president of Merck's vaccine division, a position she still holds today.
The influence her former high-level ties to the CDC wields is enormous, considering the fact that Merck makes 14 of the 17 pediatric vaccines recommended by the CDC, and nine of the 10 recommended for adults.
Dr. Thomas Verstraeten is another example. He was a researcher at the CDC working on a study looking at the safety of thimerosal back in the early 2000s. Before the study was even published, he transferred from the CDC to GlaxoSmithKline.
"Do you think that report said there was an association between thimerosal and autism? Heads up. No, it didn't," Delong says.
This type of disastrous revolving door policy doesn't just exist at the national level; it's happening at the state level as well. In New Jersey, Dr. Eddy Bresnitz went from being the state vaccine policy maker to working in Merck's vaccine division.
This type of conflict of interest goes back over a century in the US and has been prevalent in all sorts of industries. For example:
"When railroads were first regulated, the industry tried to get their guys to become regulators. And then, of course, reward them after they have done a good job as regulator by giving them nice jobs."
The Agency Theory
Conflict of interest is a well-known factor within the field of economics. According to Delong, the major problem discussed in economics is something called the agency theory—a situation in which company owners hire the managers.
The owners of the company want the value of their company to grow as much as possible. The managers want their own wealth to be maximized. What you often end up with is a situation in which one hand keeps washing the other, while the consumers or customers are seen as little more than a means to a profitable end.
"If we think about in terms of US citizens, we are hiring the regulators essentially. We want our health to be maximized, whereas the people working at the CDC and the FDA want to maximize their own wealth, their own agendas. They see their friends going to work for the private industry after they've been regulators and earning many more dollars. The consequences are tragic."
There Are No Checks and Balances...
There should be checks and balances as far as product safety goes. If a product harms someone, that person can typically sue the producer. That doesn't exist with vaccines. You cannot sue a vaccine manufacturer if you or your child is injured. You have to submit a claim to a panel.
They call it "the vaccine court"—which was started in 1985 to protect the vaccine manufacturers from lawsuits—but it's not a court at all, as there's no discovery, no judge presiding, and no appeal process. There's also no publicity to share the damage awards with the public.
"It is just a panel of special masters, who hear a claim that the vaccine injured you or your child. They decide whether you deserve compensation. Often, they only pay out about 30 percent of the claims. It's not working in a way it should be working," Delong says.
"That is why I'm not sure we can work through the government to get proper vaccine safety. I think we're basically on our own. Parents have to do their own research. They need to gather the information from different sources. Yes, look at the information from the CDC.
Look at the information from Dr. Bob Sears' books. Go to the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) Website. Get the information from there because we can't trust the regulators."
Medical Journals Are Compromised by Conflicts of Interest Too
Delong has published one article1 on the conflicts of interest in vaccine safety research in the peer-reviewed journal Accountability in Research, and another on the association between autism prevalence and childhood vaccination uptake in the Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health,2 in which she presents evidence showing "a positive association between vaccine uptake and autism or speech delays. In states that had higher vaccine uptake for children up to the age of 2, six years later, when the children were 8, they tended to have a higher prevalence of autism or speech delays among the population."
Now, it's worth noting that medical journals also have problems with conflicts of interest. For starters, medical journals accept advertising revenue from pharmaceutical companies—a practice unheard of in economic and finance journals, according to Delong. Another tool used by drug companies that creates financial incentive for medical journals to cherry-pick the studies they publish is the reprinting of journal articles.
The drug company also regularly orders tens or even hundreds of thousands of reprints of journal articles supporting their drug, which their drug reps dole out to doctors as a stamp of approval. What people don't realize is those reprints are enormous revenue sources for the journals and heavily incentivize them to not bite the hand that is feeding them. It's just another form of kickback linked directly to the journals.
The journal knows that if they print a certain article, the reprints will add to their bottom line; whereas a more obscure or negative study will not be reprinted because there's no sales rep demand for them. We tend to think that if a study is published, it must be good, and if there are no published studies on something, it must not be based in solid science.
Understanding that there are powerful financial incentives steering medical journals to accept a study for publication may help you loosen that prejudice against unpublished science.
Why Mainstream Media Will Not Report Important Truths About Medicine
The mainstream media is not of much help either, as the drug industry spends billions of dollars in the US alone every year on advertising with them. The influence this creates is insidious, as discussed in my recent interview with award-winning investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson, author of "Stonewalled: My Fight for Truth Against the Forces of Obstruction, Intimidation, and Harassment in Obama's Washington".
She refers to it as "soft censorship"—that situation in which a media outlet's sponsors wield power at the corporate level over the types of stories and topics that are covered. It's important to realize that you simply will not get the truth from the media on certain topics for this reason. Attkisson actually quit her job because she got fed up with her inability to run important stories, simply because they ran afoul with corporate sponsors.
"I remembered telling my mother that HPV vaccine is killing girls," Delong says. "My mother was flabbergasted. She said, 'We don't read about it in the paper.' That's, of course, because pharmaceutical companies are still buying advertisements unlike many other types of industries.
If you read any of the magazines or the inserts in the Sunday paper, you're going to see advertisements from pharmaceutical companies, page after page after page.
They're not allowed to do that in other countries, but they get away with it in the US, because they manipulated the federal regulators to allow them to do that... And, there was a study showing that if an industry pays for advertising in a media, that media tends not to report negative news about the industry."
We Need a National Vaccine Safety Board
Delong believes we need to implement a National Vaccine Safety Board, similar to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). After there's an accident, the NTSB does an investigation to determine the cause of the accident, and then presents recommendations for avoiding a repeat in the future. Importantly, the NTSB is completely removed from the Department of Transportation.
Likewise, a National Vaccine Safety Board would have to be completely outside of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The sad tragedy is that such a rational "ideal world" recommendation will never be implemented due to the massive conflicts of interests discussed earlier...
Considering the many vaccines currently on the market, where did all the vaccine studies (typically revolving around efficacy, not safety) come from? The answer is, from the industry. The problem with that is that study after study shows industry-funded research is very prone to bias in favor of the product. And, there's no impartial objective review.
When the FDA approves a product, most consumers are under the illusion that the FDA has conducted its own independent evaluation to validate the research presented to them.
Nothing could be further from the truth. All they do is examine the studies submitted to them by the very companies who want to gain massive revenues from it.
Moreover, independent researchers who manage to publish negative findings often come under heavy fire, and many have even lost their careers publishing findings that run counter to the industry's PR machine. Take vaccine researcher Lucija Tomljenovic, who studies the neurotoxic effects of aluminum vaccine adjuvants for example.
Together with neurological disease researcher Christopher Shaw, Tomljenovic has published a number of papers3,4,5,6,7 showing aluminum-containing vaccines may be unsafe. One critic blasted them saying it was irresponsible to publish this type of research because it might erode the confidence in vaccines.
But how can one have confidence when the evidence shows that many vaccine ingredients, such as aluminum, have never actually been tested for safety? Efficacy is only one side of the equation. Granted, industry-funded efficacy studies are prone to bias, but even if efficacy was top-notch, what good is a vaccine that effectively prevents one disease if it can cause lifelong disability or chronic health problems?
Safety is the other side of the equation, and vaccines need safety studies to ascertain their safety not just in isolation, but also in combination with all the other vaccines on the schedule.
This has never been done. Moreover, Tomljenovic actually discovered FDA documents from 2002 admitting that routine toxicity studies with vaccine ingredients have not been conducted because it was assumed that these ingredients are safe—emphasis on the word "assumed." I don't know about you, but to me, an assumption does not equate to proof of safety, no matter how many times you repeat it.
Helpful Resources Before You Vaccinate
One helpful resource suggested by Delong is David Kirby's book, "Evidence of Harm: Mercury in Vaccines and the Autism Epidemic: A Medical Controversy."
She also suggests the following books for addressing the treatment of autism: Changing the Course of Autism: A Scientific Approach for Parents and Physicians by Bryan Jepson, and Dr. Kenneth Bock's Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders.
I also highly recommend Dr. Suzanne Humphries' book, Dissolving Illusions, which documents the historical framework for why vaccines have been an overhyped failure. It's an excellent resource for refuting the typical arguments and justifications used to push for vaccination.
On a final note, Delong says:
"I think, if I had to do it over again, before vaccinating my child I would go to the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC), definitely, and the Generation Rescue [website]. EpidemicAnswers.org is another good resource."

A long time between posts, I will make up for it though.
I have been creating in the last couple of months experimenting with the latest thing foils and mixing and matching with different collections
Today I will share a couple of layouts created with Enchanted Tea Party these photos were taken a few years ago on a family get together for Easter. Because of the colour of the photos I found them hard to work with until now.
hopefully my cousins will be able to tell me what year this was and how many years have I been waiting to match these photos, they are perfect for Enchanted Tea Party
Have added a bit of foils using one of the Sea Breeze dies
Here we have added a Prima mold I purchased from Meg's Garden I have painted it then rubbed a bit of gold rub over the top love these mold a lot
stay tuned have a lot more to up load in days to come
thanks for visiting

The last time Amir Khan stepped into the ring was back in 2015 when he fought and put on an impressive showing against Mexican superstar Saul Alvarez. Khan suffered a brutal knockout and has been inactive since but has kept very busy with issues going on in his personal life that shouldn't have been made public and appearing on a reality TV series.
Last week Khan stated via social media that there was a big announcement coming soon. Since then rumors began to circulate via Boxing Kingdom and Boxing Planet that a bout with former three division world champion Adrien Broner who last fought in July was in the works.
The fight itself is very intriguing as Khan has shown that he can take his speed and accuracy with him up in weight as shown in the Alvarez fight. He has a reputation for being "chinny" but that may not be much of a problem as "The Problem" Broner has not carried his power well above 140 pounds. His speed and accuracy have carried over pretty decent which would make the fight between the two possibly close and entertaining, to say the least.

This is an excellent challenge from out Creative Trainer, Diana. These colors are really lovely together, but boy, it made me realize just how little navy stuff I have! Anyway, the prize for this challenge is the Lo-cal FITkit. I just love these little kits...I used lots of stuff from the last Lo-cal FITkit in this layout: Here it is:
My daughter and I went school shopping and went into one of those cheesy photobooths in the mall. My daughter was NOT pleased, but at least she faked a nice smile. There is actually a border of navy blue with white starts around this white, but I couldn't crop it so it looked straight, so I cropped it right out.
So, here are some close-ups and some things from last month's lo-cal FITkit:
All the chipboard hexagons game from the kit---I painted them grey and then misted them with white---so are the hearts---I painted them navy. The glittery button came in the kit as well.
The tag under the ribbon and the letters also came from the kit! And that was just the stuff that fit the challenge----there is SO MUCH MORE!!!
So hop on over to ScrapFIT and link up your project. And, even if you don't win a kit for this challenge, you can go check out Paper Issues for a FITkit or a Lo-Cal Kit---they are worth every penny!
Thanks for stopping by :)

The search for the Bourbon Street shooting gunmen turned into the pursuit of a killer Wednesday as a critically wounded victim died just hours after New Orleans police named a "person of interest" in a tragedy that has rekindled discussion of urban violence.
Brittany Thomas, a 21-year-old nursing student and graduate of Hammond High School, was the most severely injured of the five men and five women struck by gunfire Sunday on the city's most iconic street and tourist destination. Thomas died at 2:44 p.m. Wednesday at Interim LSU Hospital, where she was rushed after an Ochsner Medical Center nurse and three physicians visiting from the Midwest worked feverishly to restart her heart in the middle of the 700 block of Bourbon Street.
"That's devastating news," said Dr. Nicole Sinclair, one of the tourists who rushed to Thomas' aid. "I am happy her family had a few more days to spend with her, and hopefully were amenable to organ donation so her life wasn't lost in vain.
"What a waste of a young and beautiful life."
From the porch of an apartment outside Hammond, Thomas' second cousin Natarsha Devon said Wednesday that she and Thomas were very close, having practically grown up together in a big family. Devon said Thomas was clinging to life with the help of a respirator since shortly after being shot Sunday at 2:45 a.m., but that she was taken off life-support Wednesday afternoon.
At "2:26 p.m., they pulled the plug,'' Devon said. "I've never been so sad. I'm trying to remember the good things. We had so many good times together. But I already miss her so much"
Devon said Thomas recently turned 21 and was a nursing student at Camelot College in Baton Rouge. She said Thomas lived in Baton Rouge but often came back to visit her mother in Hammond on weekends.
Devon said Thomas attended church at St. Joseph Baptist Church in Ponchatoula and at Breakthrough Ministries in Hammond, and that she loved to sing and dance.
Devon said two other cousins were with Brittany when the shots rang out early Sunday on Bourbon Street. She said the three ran when the shots were fired. The other cousins were not hurt, she said.
"They said they ran. But when they looked back, Brittany wasn't with them,'' Devon said. "Then they saw she was on the ground."
"It just doesn't seem real," said Lakechia Martin, who said she was longtime friends with Brittany's mother. "I just think it's ridiculous. That girl didn't hurt anybody."
Chief investigator John Gagliano of the Orleans Parish Coroner's Office said the cause of death and location of the fatal wound would not be determined until an autopsy is performed Thursday.
"Our deepest thoughts and sympathies are with the family of Brittany Thomas," New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu said in a statement. "This type of tragedy strikes at the heart of who we are as a people and as a city.
"Now, more than ever, we need the community to come forward with information to bring the perpetrators to justice."
Investigative responsibility for the case now shifts to the NOPD's Homicide Division, and detectives there have a "person of interest" already in custody in Jefferson Parish.
Hours after 20-year-old Justin Odom was identified by NOPD as the man seen hurrying through the French Quarter on video surveillance images captured shortly after the shooting, Odom surrendered at the Gretna Police Department with his attorney present.
Police did not label the man as a suspect in the shootings, but Odom was interviewed by NOPD homicide detectives. After the interview, Odom was arrested on outstanding warrants for traffic and shoplifting violations, the NOPD said.
Police also said a known associate of Odom's named "Josh" or "Joe" was another "person of interest" they want to interview about the incident.
Court records show that Odom and a man named Roy Joseph Mayer III were arrested together following a January traffic stop in Jefferson Parish. They were indicted and pleaded guilty to possession of marijuana in that case.
The NOPD also released its initial incident report Wednesday, containing a surprisingly brief summation of such a mass-casualty event.
The report identified Darius McFarland as the first NOPD officer to arrive on scene, and credits him with summoning the first five EMS units after finding multiple gunshot victims. Only two witness interviews are mentioned, with one man describing that he heard eight to nine shots.
The report says Officer McFarland saw "multiple shell casings on the ground" and a bullet hole in the front left door of the Bourbon Heat nightclub at 711 Bourbon St. It concludes with the chilling line, "The officer observed blood throughout the 700 block of Bourbon."
Elsewhere, another shooting victim became the first to speak publicly about her ordeal.
Amy Matthews, a 21-year-old visiting from Australia, revealed to media outlets based in Perth that she had been shot in the face nearly 11,000 miles from home. Matthews told the newspaper The West Australian and partner television station Nine News that a bullet pierced her right cheek and exited near her top lip, causing extensive mouth and dental damage. She said she lost all but seven of her teeth to the gunshot wound.
"It shattered the top of my palate in four places and ripped my tongue in several places," said Matthews, who was discharged Tuesday from Interim LSU Hospital. "Because the bullet was so hot, it just ripped through my teeth and burnt a lot of my gums. They had to remove a lot of dead gum."
In her first TV interview, Matthews said she did not immediately know what to think in the chaotic scene.
"My mouth started filling with blood," she said. "I opened my mouth into my hand and there was just blood and teeth in my hand, and I knew there was something more than just a knock to the face."
Matthews said she was aided by two U.S. Marines until EMS units arrived.
She said she hopes to be cleared to fly to her home country this weekend. She said she wrote her thesis paper at the University of Western Australia on gun use in the United States in the wake of mass shootings in American schools.
"Because of last year, and all the little kids who were shot, I thought something would definitely be done," she told the newspaper. "But it just shows you how embedded the whole gun culture is in the U.S.
"This won't deter me from coming back. But it makes me angry that the government can't be strong enough to say, 'No, something needs to be done.'"

Psst… Yes little tomatoes I see you there, hanging down beyond your fence!
Welcome to our home sweet onions, I have a dinner date planned with you in mind.
Hello pretty berries! You are looking rather yummy today.
I'm talking to my garden. The days are long and dry and hot and this makes the garden talk back to us. We have more tomatoes than I expected, onions harvesting quicker than expected, more berries than expected and a few plants unexpectedly returning for another season. It may be a small garden, but it gives away its goodies in stages, making them last.
The sleepy quietness here at CelticMommy is coming to a close. I have much to share with you and a moving date coming up soon! Recipes, crafts, links and more all showing up ahead. 🙂

Remember when there was a big storm and my electric went out and I slept with the window open and a SLUG got in my bedroom?
I never could find the shiny 'slug trail' from the creepy thing's point of entry. As far as Bear and I could tell, the trail started on the carpet right next to the wall near our bedroom door.
Yesterday Bear was laying on the bed and he discovered a SLUG TRAIL ON OUR CEILING.
The errant slug had not entered our bedroom from the window furthest from our bed—it had entered the window ABOVE OUR BED—a foot from my head, no less—crawled (or whatever slugs do) all the way up the wall, across the ceiling (DIRECTLY ABOVE MY BED), down the other wall, and then across the carpet until we found him the next morning a foot or so from the bedroom door.
I don't know where he thought he was going, but he ended up flushed down the toilet.
Also, I had closed the window above our bed sometime around 1AM and discovered the slug around 7AM, so apparently, slugs really do crawl (or whatever) veeery slow.
Just thought I'd update y'all on that.

MOHAWK — After seeing success and growth since starting the Chemo/Radiation Comfort Bag Drive two years ago, Heather Judd and Kara Milianta will spearhead efforts once again to sponsor chemo bags and to collect items to go inside them.
Judd said during a telephone interview Thursday there are plans for another "Painting With a Purpose" event, which turned out to be a big fundraiser for the group in 2016.
"Last year, we had so many people, we are changing locations to the Ilion Moose Club on Barringer Road," said Judd.
Judd said the event is scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 28, with two sessions: one at 2 p.m. and another at 6 p.m. Tickets are $40 a person or $65 for two people. There will also be a 50/50 raffle at the event.
"All the proceeds will go to stuffing and buying the bags," said Judd.
Food and soft drinks will be served during the event.
Judd first initiated the drive for chemo comfort bags in 2015 after Milianta was diagnosed with breast cancer and was looking for a way to help. Judd said the first year they had about 100 chemo bags distributed to local cancer patients. Last year, around 500 chemo bags were delivered to cancer centers throughout the Mohawk Valley, Syracuse and Albany areas.
"Without the businesses, the community and schools, and people coming to the events, it wouldn't be possible," said Judd.
While the drive goes on in January and February, Judd said it's gone beyond that.
"Honestly, it's become like a year round thing," she said, noting she will give out bags as they are needed.

Just found this…
"Ever notice how people texting at night have that eerie blue glow? Or wake up ready to write down the Next Great Idea, and get blinded by your computer screen? During the day, computer screens look good—they're designed to look like the sun. But, at 9PM, 10PM, or 3AM, you probably shouldn't be looking at the sun. f.lux fixes this: it makes the color of your computer's display adapt to the time of day, warm at night and like sunlight during the day."

The Stanford University Learning Locomotion Project.
Legged robots, unlike wheeled robots, have the potential to access nearly all of the earth's land mass, enabling robotic applications in areas where they are currently infeasible. However, the current control software for legged robots is quite limited, and does not let them realize this potential.
In the Learning Locomotion project, we seek to develop software that significantly advances the state of the art in robotic quadruped locomotion over rough terrain. To achieve this goal, we develop and apply novel control and machine learning algorithms."

We are having some trouble with spammers, and would like to be clearer about not only gaining V-points, but losing V-points. If you have questions please leave them in the comments below and we will try to answer them, or go to Vingle and get an answer for you. Thank you for your patience!
1. Do not like and clip cards without reading them.
If Vingle sees you liking and clipping cards too fast, your account will be frozen. If you continue this, your account will be blocked.
2. Do not put irrelevant cards into the Kpop community
If you are just posting a gif of GD, post it in the GD community, or the Big Bang community. Do not post it in Kpop, Taeyang, Daesung, TOP, and Seungri communities. If your card is reported and removed, you will lose points.
If you post a GD gif and it has a question or a topic to discuss attached to it, instead of just 'omg he looks good,' then it can belong in Kpop. Please keep individual photos and videos in the specific group communities.
Here's an example of a VIXX card that should only be in VIXX community >>here<<
Here's an example of a VIXX card that can also be in Kpop community >>here<<
3. Become an active member of the community
If other members only know you as 'that one user that clips and likes my cards' instead of 'that cool user that comments on my cards' you're not getting the full benefit of this community. We're here to have fun together and you can't have as much fun unles you join the party! Start talking and make some friends (we all like what you like so we're pretty much guaranteed friends!!)
4. Contact me or the rest of the support/moderation team
If you have questions PLEASE leave them in the comments below, or reach out to me via message or any of the other support team members!

If you're trying to add a little bit of extra security to your Android device, Google has an app to help you with that. Essentially, it's a 2-step authentication feature that will really help you keep your device secure. If you're already using this feature, it may now be a little bit easier to use due to an updated that was just released by Google through the Google Play store. It was rather difficult to use before, but Google seems to have cleaned some things up to hope resolve that nuisance.
The 2-step authentication adds a lot of extra security by requiring a user to have something, in this case their smartphone, to go along with what they already know, their password, when singing in to web sites or their Google account. The smartphone requirement comes as something that users have thanked Google for. It generates a code that should be used along with a password to access the account you're trying to get into. The update today adds the ability to turn on 2-step authentication without scanning a QR code or re-entering any sort of password on a device.
If you're not sure whether or not you want to start using the 2-step verification feature, let me tell you that it just adds an extra layer of security around your device in-case some tries to hack into it, it gets stolen, or even if you lose it. It's just there to help your phone stay secure and safe from "outsiders." That aside, if you're not sure whether you are using a 2-step verification or even want to turn it in, you can easily check the security options for your Google Account on your Android device. Google has also provided some very detailed video instructions on setting up your Google Account on your desktop computer to use the 2 step verification feature.
It's all very handy, I think. There are numerous people out there that would love to use this service to provide that extra inch of security. I haven't heard of this app, being overly used, but as Google continues to push out updates and help it move forward, I think that it could potentially be something that we might see as pre-installed on our handsets in the feature. I think, personally, that Google does a great job at providing security for your devices as it is, and with this extra measure, it can only get better from here on out.
Are you excited to see this new update come out from Google? It should make things a bit easier to use and maybe even encourage users who once were using it but stopped to come back and try it again. I've used it myself, but have never found that I needed the extra security on my device, so I had removed it days later. But for those that are looking for an extra layer of security will really like this specific feature.

Last week I reported on a new volume of Italo Calvino's Cosmicomics, purporting to collect 7 stories previously untranslated. I noted that although a UK edition is imminent, there was no mention of a U.S. edition anywhere.
I've gotten in touch with one Rachel Love, an editorial coordinator with Penguin Classics and Reference in the UK, and she has confirmed that there is currently no U.S. edition of this book forthcoming from Penguin. The Wylie Agency has the rights, meaning that there probably will be a U.S. edition eventually, although who knows.
I'm still trying to track down information as to what exactly these 7 stories are and why they haven't been collected in a previous edition of Cosmicomics. More information on that as it becomes available.

December in California
I taught last Saturday at California Center for Creative Renewal in Encinitas, Ca. Sketching and Watercolor: Journal Style. 22 students and a beautiful, clear day!
Some of the students work above.
Then, on Monday I taught Monoprinting using my fave Gelli Plates, at Visions Quilt Museum. (another gorgeous location for a workshop!)
Here's the begining stages of Jo's prints (above). It's all about layering
And Kay's (above)
And Lisa's (above)
Claire-Lise Matthey Anderegg worked with this wonderful stencil from Stencil Girl Products
And created her usual fabulous work!

Purple is my frienemy. For some reason I never liked the color, possibly because of my aversion to all things grape flavored. But on this hot, summery New York City day, it just felt right! I know I said I don't like to match, but some things just go so well together. Like coffee and milk. Bagels and cream cheese. Bloody mary and olives. I'm ready for brunch!

Floral Arrangement
Wearing floral pants is a bold move, even for me! But I have to say, it felt really fun and carefree to strut around town in these floor length trousers. I love experimenting with color and throwing things on that don't necessarily "match." Matching is almost like an unspoken rule - but Im ruling it out!

In the words of the wise Carrie Bradshaw (SJP, who by the way lives around the corner from me!), "these shoes pinch my feet, but I love them!" This outfit, courtesy of the thrift industry, includes your basic white blouse and skinny jeans. But add a splash of color and splurge (these shoes=NOT thrifted) and you've created the perfect marriage of boring and crazy! Whoever said "dont judge a person until you've walked a day in their shoes" must have been a very stylish lady. With really sore feet!

A Victorian Journal.
My craft room is a place for me to escape from everything and I'm sure I'm not the alone in this. As soon as I open the door to it and step one foot inside, everyone who is inevitably trailing behind me is banished to the other side of the door. My pug dog who snorts and chews her nails is given the 'ol' heave ho! My cat who insists on laying across all papers and projects in progress is ushered out to the hallway immediately and even my well intentioned hubby is relegated to very brief visits while I am inside.
As I create I listen to old radio programs on my computer. Currently I am listening to all the old Dragnet episodes. When my my mother calls she teases me and wants to know what kind of 36 year old listens to Dragnet! I reply with "Its my space and my rules!" With that said here is another project just completed during my last stint of "Me Time" in my craft room.
*Please pause music below before watching the video.

I have been getting nothing done these past few days because I am glued to my computer just looking at your blog and/or links you have put up here! I am loving it all! Yours is definitely my new favorite blog and I am having so much fun realizing there are other people out there who love vintage things as much as I do! I think I was born in the wrong decade (possibly century, lol!).ReplyDelete
Anyway, thank you so much for all the time you have spent to share your talent and knowledge. I LOVE this journal! It is fabulous! I was drooling as I watched this video. It is just so lovely and will make an amazing gift. The paper clips are fantastic. I can not wait to make some myself. But first I have to go see more of your posts! :-)

Edit: I forgot to mention this yesterday because I'm a bad blogger, but I did a guest post yesterday on Jewish Girl's blog about my heritage, so if you're interested, head on over and check it out!
Good evening! Hope everyone is having/had a good one. It's late for me, so I'll be headed for bed soon, but I wanted to post another of my past outfits.
I have a confession to make: there is no Anthro in this outfit. GASP. I know. But some days it really does happen. This skirt is old, and I have trouble styling it, but I thought I'd try pairing it with this tank I got from the JCrew warehouse. Here's the result:
(That day I also decided to take Tara's advice about using props in photos (mostly because I didn't feel like putting my Ipod down). She probably didn't mean "your Ipod" when she said to try using props, so I don't think it worked very well, but it is what it is!)
JCrew warehouse tank
Target cardi
LOFT skirt
Jessica Simpson tights
Softwalk shoes
Kohl's necklace
I'm really tired after my test, so I'm going to say goodnight! See you later!

The Women's Network for Unity was founded at the end of 2002 by over 160 male, transgender, lesbian and heterosexual female sex workers with its first election to recruit seven secretariat members to work on behalf of WNU. WNU has been registered with the Ministry of Interior since June 2004 (see Annex 1), aims to become a union with 5000 members. Over several terms, a nine member secretariat has been elected as a governance body and 33 team leaders have been elected to implement activities in 8 of 13 provinces and in Phnom Penh municipality. Currently, WNU found the hierarchy structure as having attached in Annex 1. WNU promotes the human rights and civil liberties of sex workers and calls for recognition their rights as workers to earn a livelihood free from exploitation and oppression. WNU also works to build networks capable of promoting dignity and justice for sex workers and of combating all forms of violence (including human trafficking), discrimination and HIV infection.
Sex Workers Have Full Human Rights in a Society Free of Violence and Freedom from Exploitation and Human Trafficking.
To strengthen sex workers network to advocate for the greater participation in program, policy and law development related to sex work that will give them greater access to social services, and freedom from violence and discrimination.

Craig: Whom do you admire? Everyone has their sources of inspiration, people they aspire to emulate, people whose words seem to call to them elsewhere. You've expressed interest in Jackie Chan, Leonardo da Vinci, and Peter Parker. So could you give some of your thoughts either on those individuals if you want, or if you'd prefer to touch on some completely different people?
Adam: That's hilarious. I won't touch on those three people. [00:16:00] I wrote that almost mockingly as a college entry essay. You really dug at me there, Craig.
Craig: We'll leave that as an exercise for the listener. Maybe I won't even link that.
Adam: See if you can find it. Good luck. People from whom I draw inspiration or who I look up to, that has to start with my parents. Anyone who knows me and knows my charisma that you referenced earlier and my character, which I try to constantly improve, will [00:16:30] best understand who I am if they were to meet my parents. My parents are amazing people, and they are the perfect contrast that helps make me the person that I am. My mother is best described as a fireball. If there is any gas in the room she will ignite it. I mean that seriously. She's a fearless woman. So much of my charisma comes from her. She was an actress and a model and a singer and author, and [00:17:00] you name it, she's probably done it. A small business owner. So she's always had that drive.
My father on the other hand, is one of the sweetest and kindest men or fellow I've ever known. He's just an incredible guy. He would dedicate all of himself to anything if he knew the cause was pure. So that fire and charisma balanced with a sense of principle is where I draw most of my inspiration from, from my parents.
Beyond that, I've [00:17:30] been lucky enough to have incredible influences in my life. I mentioned my martial arts instructor, Paul Miller. Many of the other instructors in that school also who are now currently my friends and my peers I've always looked up to. In the parkour community there are some really incredible people I've met who have either amazing discipline or an amazing lack of discipline that leads them to being very interesting people.
Craig: Now I want to know whose name you're going to drop for amazing lack of discipline.
Adam: Ozzi.
Craig: Okay, that's what I figured you were going to say.
Adam: [00:18:00] No, Ozzi Quintero is indeed a disciplined man, but he's a free spirit, and there's a lot to be said for that. So, for someone like me, that's an influence that was beneficial to see someone so free and so willing to break the rules to do what they believe is right is a cool influence.
I've just been very fortunate above all. I've had a great family, great friends, great coaches, great peers. So it's led to a great life for me, and that's because of those people.
Craig: Terrific. In the same similar vane, do [00:18:30] you have a favorite quote or a favorite inspirational mantra that you …
Adam: Oh, man. All the time, but they change all the time. I mentioned before how my motivation comes from constant change in freedom. So I'm not the kind of guy that would tattoo a phrase onto myself because-
Craig: I wasn't going to ask about tattoos, but okay.
Adam: Because two weeks later I look at the tattoo and go "Yeah, I don't know. That's not the most powerful thing I've ever read anymore." So, I don't know. I would say above all, [00:19:00] if I had to choose anything at all, I would probably stick with the principle that you should work hard and you should follow your values. All of the inspirational quotes and things that I find are usually creative variances on the general concept of "Be good to people, and do things for others, and follow the values that are close to your heart, and never stop chasing them."
Craig: Right. All branches from the same tree.
Adam: Precisely. So there's my trunk.

My good friend, Sensei Angel Lemus, has created a very interesting and useful website called One Minute Bunkai. The URL is oneminutebunkai.com. I hope that you will visit it and watch the bunkai videos -- no music, no verbal explanations... just the techniques shown in a very clear and easy to follow format. I really enjoyed them.
I am very lucky. Through our Hawaii Karate Kenkyukai training sessions, I have had the opportunity to see Lemus Sensei execute such bunkai. He reminds me of a jazz musician, just jamming! He seems to be able to effortlessly transition between techniques and applications -- something I am always working on myself. I have occasionally been on the receiving end of Lemus Sensei's applications, and I can say that they definitely work.
I always say, if you don't know what you are doing, then what are you doing? Bunkai is the meaning of what we do in Karate. One Minute Bunkai is an excellent idea, and I am grateful to Lemus Sensei (and his students) for sharing it with us.

Maybe it's time for Kanye West to tone down his bragging and all that egocentric commentary he's been lavishing upon us. It's just too soon for Kanye to boast of his cultural significance in music, fashion, and design, and compare himself to Steve Jobs, Michael Jordan, and Walt Disney. And whether he ends up with a company worth billions of dollars also remains to be seen. Could his self-praise be affecting sales of his new album Yeezus? According to Billboard, sales dropped 80% from the first week to the second, and the album went from 1st place to 3rd already.

It couldn't happen to a nicer guy. What a delusional goofus this dude and his fans are AND that includes you Anna Wintour and Loren Michaels. This cat has been so spoiled because he had one good CD. He can't sing and he can't write (Your awesome, I'm awesome we're awesome is an example of his brilliant, nay genius lyrics). Maybe he can produce but that's it. Dude yells about life styles and yet lives the same life style he is yelling about. God he is a creep.

Which name for the kid sounds better?
North West , or,
Diamond Grace West.
Look at the many many off-the-wall names that celebs give to their kids, too many to name here. That shows they are all nuts. I think the name Diamond is a little quirky, but not too far out there. This is just a little thing I thought up.

I forgot what an axx hat he is until I googled him and read. Some of the highlights are his storming out of an awards show when he didn't win to Gretchen Wilson and a few years later grabbing the mike from a 19 year old Taylor Swift. What a f#(king jerk! So glad that sign hit his swollen head hard! And got it on tape for all posterity!

Games, games, games
By the way, before I forget this: if anyone ever comes here (which I doubt), these games you must play. Absolutely. And they're not your run-of-the-mill FPS shooters or something either. Old games are back with a vengeance!
Doukutsu (Cave Story) - http://agtp.romhack.net/doukutsu.html
Japanese game, platform (don't forget the English language patch). Very sophisticated story, but not confusing. Much.
Bejeweled (1 or 2) - http://www.popcap.com/
The greatest Tetris variant of all time. v2 is even more fun.
Gish - http://www.chroniclogic.com/?gish.htm
A friend described this game to me and started like this: 'it's a platform game, but get this:.... you're a ball of tar.'
Mario Forever - http://www.buzg.prv.pl/
A one-man conversion of Super Mario World from the SuperNes... for the PC! Written from scratch, with all new levels and 8 worlds with increasing difficulty.


text: KIRKUS REVIEW The real question seems to be not whether animals can sense approaching earthquakes, but how. Still, that's only the first of several mysteries considered here. Why do elephants cluster around dead comrades--and do they sometimes bury their dead? Why do birds rub ants through their feathers, sunbathe on hot summer days, and, in the case of crows, "bathe" in fire? Could a chemical from hibernating animals put human patients or astronauts into the same state? How do migrating plovers know to head for Argentina? Why do groups of whales fatally strand themselves on beaches? How smart are dolphins? Curiosity-piquers all, with enough examples for lively reading, and enough facts and theories to launch further investigation.

Greg Bruckner wheeled the new off-green Honda Accord onto Highland Avenue in Manhattan Beach. Pink Floyd's song "Money" played over the radio--ironically, because Bruckner, a rookie on the Professional Golf Assn. tour, had just spent the better part of four hours talking about finances when he was supposed to discuss golf.
In professional golf, conceded the fair-haired, slightly balding Bruckner, it's difficult to talk about the game without money entering the conversation.
"The PGA is a business," he said. "It's kind of spooky. I haven't really grasped all of it yet."
Bruckner, 30, would have preferred to talk about surfing El Porto or the neighborhood gatherings at Ercole's Bar on Manhattan Avenue every Christmas Eve for the past 25 years. But dollars and sense always crept back into the conversation.
"Living in Manhattan Beach, people might think I grew up wealthy, but I did not," he said.
He is a working-class golfer, one of the few to grace the PGA tour. And because he was raised in Southern California with its reputation for casual appearances, he said he was singled out at PGA qualifying school by tour administrators. They told him the Levi's-and-T-shirt image he was accustomed to while playing in the Asian Tour is unacceptable. There will be fines for inappropriate attire at airports, in hotel lobbies and on golf courses.

Proof That Obamacare Sunk the Democrats - Even Though It Saved Their SoulsWilliam Galston | The New Republic | November 11, 2010
Most Democrats agree (I know I do) that the effort to make adequate and affordable health care accessible to all Americans was morally correct; they believe that the health reform bill enacted last spring was a major legislative accomplishment attained against huge obstacles; and they hope that the health care bill enacted last spring eventually will make coverage all but universal while reducing costs below what would otherwise have been their trendline. There is debate, however, about the near-term political impact of the health-reform effort—and two surveys released this week have brought the consequences into greater focus.
The bipartisan Democracy Corps/Resurgent Republic survey found, as have others, a large drop-off in support for Democratic candidates among Independents—13 points since 2008, and a startling 19 points since the previous midterm election in 2006. The survey also found some clues as to why this happened. By a margin of 60 to 34, Independents endorsed the proposition that "government is doing too many things better left to businesses and individuals," and rejected the claim that "government should do more to solve problems and help meet the needs of people." When asked whether they favored or opposed the president's health care plan, 51 percent of Independents registered their opposition while 39 percent indicated support. The difference in intensity between these two groups of Independents was startling: 43 percent were strongly opposed to the plan, versus only 18 percent who strongly favored it. (In the electorate as a whole, strong opponents constituted 44 percent of the total, strong proponents only 24 percent.) Looking forward, 53 percent of Independents favor repealing and replacing the law (and 43 percent strongly).

Hello! Do you remember my previous review about My Burger Lab?
I didn't realise I have not been revisiting this shop since half a year ago, until recently my friends brought up this topic of redeeming daily deals from Samsung's latest mobile app, called Samsung Galaxy Life. Since My Burger Lab is one of the participating outlets, we were up for a dinner there.
After being a Samsung user for 2 years, this is the first time I heard Samsung created an app to reward loyal users like me! :) Being a proud owner of Samsung Galaxy S4, I downloaded the FREE app, Samsung Galaxy Life from Google Play Store and started searching for great deals!
How Galaxy Life Brings Me Amazing Experiences...
It immediately recognizes my name as I signed in, and introduced me with 7 key pillars of LIFE- Entertain, Live, Learn, Play, Connect, Work and Surprise. If you're looking for daily deals with discount coupons, app recommendations and other exclusive privileges, GALAXY Life has everything you need!
In midst of exploring the app, I found some interesting calorie counter and free recipe apps under the "Live" pillar. One that got us all excited was the daily deal from My Burger Lab. Make sure you click "Redeem" only when you're there because the voucher is only valid for 60 minutes.
While queueing, we were thinking if we would be lucky enough to get
a Buy 1 FREE 1 burger deal or enjoy a free upgrade for fries and soda there/
I was surprised that the redemption was so simple and quick. I just flashed the voucher on my phone upon ordering, and was then entitled for a lucky dip in the "Galaxy Lucky Box". Yay for getting myself a 20% discount voucher for any burger there.
Don't worry about the long queue, you can collect your burger in just a matter of minutes!
....Waiting for the collection of burger while fiddling with the app to check out other deals it offers.
Beautiful Mess 5.0 - Beef burger layered with fried portabella mushroom,
sunny side up egg, mozarella cheese and honey mustard
sunny side up egg, mozarella cheese and honey mustard
The Hulk (with extra patty) - Beef burger layered with fried avocado,

Finally my vegetarian burger arrived! :) I can save a few bucks from the Galaxy Life voucher redemption.
Vivien's Husband - Vegetarian burger with pineapple ring,
thick cheesy layer and spiced mango mayo

Now I know being a loyal Samsung user is a smart choice as Samsung appreciates our support and continuously rewards us with great stuff. I kinda get hooked on the app now, and am looking forward for more deals in the Galaxy Life app, so that I can explore places around me and save more!
Let Samsung Galaxy Life be your life companion wherever you go :)

Chapter 28 Summary
Chapter 28 opens with a brief glimpse back at the NUMA headquarters, where Rudi Gunn learns of the disappearance of the Sea Rover, which is no longer transmitting a GPS signal. Meanwhile, on the Sea Rover, and trapped in the hold, the crew frantically fights for their lives as water fills the hold. They try to use braces to open the heavy overhead doors, but those do not work. At the last possible moment, someone discovers the escape hatch that Dirk Pitt unlocked in the previous chapter. Some of them escape, run to a crane, and use the train to lift the overhead doors, saving everyone. Unable to alert anyone to their situation because the communication system was destroyed, the scientists board their lifeboats and evacuate the ship moments before it sinks beneath the waves.

"The Craft Beer Cookbook" from The Beeroness. I turned from page to page, with my mouth watering, as I looked at beautiful pictures and read delicious sounding recipes. Then I faced a predicament. What to make first?
She had tempting appetizers, delicious soups and stews, vegetarian entrees, sandwiches and desserts. Where to start oh where to start? But I finally decided on a sandwich. But not just any sandwich, a chorizo stout sloppy joe to be exact. A grown up version of the sandwich we all enjoyed as kids. Not only was it oh. so. good. but another fun part about the memories of eating sloppy joes was the mess that was made while eating them. It was actually okay to have juice dripping all over your hands, elbows and a big red mess on your mouth.
When I read the title, Chorizo Stout Sloppy Joes, I thought about the sloppy joes I ate as a kids and how this would be a delicious grown up twist on a classic favorite. So with that in mind, and knowing how much Spencer would enjoy them, the sloppy joes won. They were the first recipe I made from my new cookbook.
Chorizo Stout Sloppy Joes
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 Red bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 Medium white onion, finely diced
4 Cloves garlic, finely minced
1 Pound ground turkey
1 (12oz) package chorizo
1 Cup stout beer
1/2 Cup tomato paste
1/4 Tsp cumin 1/2 Tsp black pepper
8 Kaiser rolls
8 Slices cheese; cheddar, swiss or pepper jack
Place a skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once the olive oil is warm, add the bell pepper and onions and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the turkey and chorizo and cook until browned and almost cooked through. Drain off most of the fat.
Add the beer, tomato paste, cumin and black pepper and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer, and cook until the meat is cooked through entirely.
Meanwhile, toast the buns.
Once the meat is cooked through, scoop on the bottom halves of buns, top with cheese and then place the top half of the bun on the sandwich. Serve immediately with fries, beans or your favorite side item.
*I used ground turkey because ground pork was not available in my supermarket. If you can find ground pork then substitute it for the turkey.

The other day, I was talking to the nice peeps from Surrealist Love Scene and we were talking about the our preferences when it comes to scents. I immediately said that I like sweet smelling frangrances. I used to be in love with Paris Hilton's Heiress until most shops stopped selling them. I also really like Marc Jacob's Daisy, but I only use that for special atas occasions. I'm not really someone who would rather splurge on clothes than fragrances because I believe that a perfume doesn't need to be branded/expensive to smell good.
Check out my latest buy.
PINK With A Splash Victoria Secret Body Mist
Bought this from Changi Airport at $13 PER BOTTLE. Pretty good deal, I must say!
What kind of fragrances do you enjoy? Anyway, anybody knows where I can get Victoria Secret perfumes at a good price? Share with me in the comment box below!

You may recognize the name Opera Software from its regular tussles with
A breakthrough may come soon. Earlier this week, Opera announced it was building a customized version of its popular Opera Mini browser for a leading North American mobile operator. Executives won't name the operator, but it's likely to be either
Carrier deals are a boon for Opera because the firm earns money several ways, collecting fees for the license of its technology, as well as development, support and other kinds of maintenance work. They also quickly boost its number of users. Under the new U.S. agreement, the operator will ship phones with Opera Mini pre-installed. Opera already has profited from similar agreements, like the Samsung Instinct S30. Sprint released the phone, complete with a version of Opera Mini, in mid-April. By the end of May, the S30 was one of the top 10 devices sending traffic to Opera's servers, says von Tetzchner.
Opera also makes a more powerful, full-fledged mobile browser called Opera Mobile. Its most recent version, 9.7, runs on Windows Mobile smart phones. Opera focused on Windows Mobile at the request of several major handset manufacturers, including Samsung and HTC, says von Tetzchner. Though still in its early stages, 9.7 should come to market soon, he adds.
In recent weeks, the company's boldest move has been the release of its Unite technology, which lets users share files with friends and family, directly from their computers, through their browsers. Say you're on the road, but want to listen to music or view photos that are stored on your home PC. Unite lets you access those files without an intermediary or complicated networking. Though currently limited to desktops, Opera wants to extend Unite to all types of gadgets, ranging from cellphones to TVs, portable media players and even car dashboards. Von Tetzchner declined to specify when phone compatibility would be ready, but said it's in the works.
Unite features some interesting widgets, such as one called Fridge that lets users jot messages on virtual Post-It notes and affix them to a kind of communal refrigerator. Opera is recruiting developers to create more widgets and may even help them build app stores to sell their wares to consumers, says von Tetzchner.
He is pleased with the swirl of activity, noting that Opera's 700 employees are juggling more than 100 different projects at any given time. Is he worried about Mozilla's progress on its mobile browser, Fennec? "Firefox has been working on a mobile browser for five years," von Tetzchner says dismissively.
What about the fact that Webkit-based browsers--the type found in leading smart phones from
And hasn't Apple's Safari, thanks to the iPhone's popularity, surpassed Opera's longtime lead in mobile browsers? Von Tetzchner says Opera Mini remains the world's most popular mobile browser with 25 million users, compared with 21 million Safari users on the iPhone.
Throw in the masses of iPod touch owners, though, and the number of mobile Safari users rises to 40 million. Von Tetzchner counters that Opera still has more users because a number of non-phone gadgets, like
Ultimately, the question hinges on the way one measures mobile browser usage. IPhone owners suck up more bandwidth because they favor data-intensive activities like watching video. Mini users, in contrast, mostly surf the Web, accessing an average of 370 Web pages a month. From that perspective, no other browser is more actively used by its community, says von Tetzchner.
At times, he embraces Opera's underdog status, saying the pressure forces them to be more innovative. "

Gloucester Synchro
captures club title at provincial tier championships
By Fred Sherwin
Orléans Online
of Gloucester Synchro's Tier 6 Open team pose for a picture with the championship
trophy after winning the gold medal at the Ontario Tier Championships on
Sunday. Fred Sherwin/Photo
The Gloucester
Synchro Club capitalized on several strong team and individual performances
on the weekend to capture their first Ontario Tier synchronized swimming
aggregate championship since 2003.
Gold medal showings
by the club's Tier 2, Tier 3 and Tier 6 teams, along with a trio of gold
and silver medals in the solo championship and figure events, combined to
give Gloucester Synchro the overall club championship.
The Tier 2 squad
kick-started the charge to the aggregate title on Sunday with a second place
performance in the championship round.
The team consists
of Leena Barisa, Sophie Chartrand, Chloe Cook, Margaux McCunn, Amy Parker,
Melanie Robichaud, Mikhaela Shattler and Rachel Walthert, along with co-coaches
Genna McBain and Sarah Simoneau.
Gloucester Syncrho's
Tier 3 squad followed up on their teammates' success with the club's first
gold medal of the day in an incredibly deep field of 20 teams, and they
did so after having to completely change their program following the departure
of a team member in March.
"One of
the girls had to leave after regionals for personal reasons so we had to
change every single pattern and adjust the highlights," said Tier 3
co-coach Caroline Demers.
"The girls
have been incredibly resilient. They're very determined and very motivated.
They never gave up and they never complained. They just wanted to know what
they could do better," added Demers' coaching partner Meghan Weber.
The Tier 3 team
consists of Kristina Anagnosti, Kaitlyn Hoey, Alexa Schryer, Brenna Winter,
Allison Courtney, Mariel Kaine and Amy Wilcox.
Following the
Tier 3 gold medal swim, the Tier 4 team of Emily Atwood, Gabrielle Brosseau,
Madeline Kein, Melissa Marchand, Sophia Brandt, Casey Gervais, Leanne Lovsin
and Adrianna Sorgo placed third among 12 other teams to pick up a bronze
medal and set the stage for the club's two Tier 6 squads who swam in the
final event of the meet.
Both Tier 6 teams
were using the provincial championships as tune-up for the Canadian Espoir
Championships which will take place in Toronto in two weeks.
On the face of
their gold medal swim on Sunday, the Tier 6 Open team is perfectly primed
for the national championships, although their coach Tara Hawkins says there
is still room for improvement.
"(The girls)
had a really good swim. The energy level was great. The performance was
great, but our synchronicity was a little bit off," said Hawkins following
the swim.
This is the first
year that Luba Chabursky, Marlene Haines, Genevieve Dunn, Emma Hutton, Megan
Smallwood, Emma Yoxon, Sara Ogilvie, Katie Walker-Byron and Emilie Young
have swum together as a team. Some of the girls have been with Gloucester
Synchro for several years, while a couple of the girls come from other clubs.
While the group
will be in tough at the Espoir Championships, Hawkins says they have an
outside shot at a medal.
"It's going
to be a tough competition. There are going to be 24 other teams there, but
if we have a really good swim we'll have a good chance of doing well,"
says Hawkins.
Two members of
the Tier 6 Open team picked up medals in the solo part of the competition
earlier in the weekend, starting with Megan Smallwood who won a gold medal
in the Tier 6 figures event on Friday.
Smallwood has
been with Gloucester Synchro for the past eight years. This is the first
year that she has competed in figures.
"I was pretty
consistent all the way through, so I sort of knew I was going to do well,"
said Smallwood, 17, who didn't know how well she had done until the final
marks were announced. "It was very exciting."
Smallwood's teammate
Luba Charbursky, who's also 17, bounced back from a third place performance
in the figures portion of the solo event on Saturday to score the top mark
in the free routine which was good enough to earn her the silver medal.
Like Smallwood, it was her first time competing in a solo event at provincials.
"I felt
pretty good. I just told myself to push hard and don't stop 'till the end,"
said Charbusky.
Although the
Open team managed to capture gold in the Tier 6 event, it was the Tier 6
15-and under team made up of Perrin Bryson, Stephanie Madeira, Celeste Chevrier,
Marie-Eve Sabourin, Jilian Wakarchuk, Amelie Proulx, Madeline Walker-Byron
and Pamela Schroeder, that put the Gloucester Synchro club over the top
in the chase for the aggregate title with a silver medal performance in
their championship routine.
In other results,
Emma Yoxon and Emma Hutton won individual gold medals in the Tier 7 solo
and figures events; Sophie Chartrand came second in the Tier 2 13-and-over
figures standings; and Leanne Lovsin and Melissa Marchand won a silver medal
in the Tier 4 duet event.
Last, but not
least, the Tier 1 team made up of Luella Antonin, Rhianon Davies, Alyx Denison,
Sarah Healy, Kendra Hoey, Katie Horner and Kiera Hughes hasd their best
swim of the season in finishing fifth.
