Purchased by Me Affiliate links
This week in Makeup Wars, we are talking about the products that other bloggers have twisted our arms into buying. Think readers are the only people influenced by what other bloggers love? Hardly! One of the reasons I don't spend all day looking at beauty porn is because I'll buy everything. I've got an itchy shopping trigger finger and I don't need much of a reason to expand my collection.
Things I've purchased because other bloggers have "forced me to purchase" include:
MaskCara's Foundation System: I love that girl and I'll buy whatever she loves. Her foundation didn't work for me, but scores of you loved it!
Chanel Illusion d'Ombre Eyeshadows: These shadows are my beauty porn weakness. I love how they look, how they wear and I love looking at them (Which reminds me, where is my black Chanel shadow? I need to find that, stat!).
Algenist Complete Eye Renewal Balm: Several of my friends rave about this. I wish it did the same thing for me, but it was just average. I'm still looking for an eye cream that is a miracle worker. The best one I've found so far is Perricone, but I don't want to shell out the money, as I don't like how they work with bloggers. (How's that for holding a weird grudge?)

Thursday at 8:00 pm
The torso rising from the pit – sounds like several opera characters, right? Though it could just as easily be the conductor. From a podium tucked below the stage, the opera maestro must drive the orchestra as well as the chorus and singers while those performers contort themselves into every position not conducive to singing (combat, dying, crouching, kissing etc.). For all of the skill required of the opera conductor – some combination of musician, expert at non-verbal communication, and traffic cop – the other boss, the opera director, keeps the audience glued to the action on the stage; to the telling of the story. We're not supposed to be so aware of the conductor as he or she produces a cohesive musical statement – quite the opposite experience of the symphony orchestra.
The symphony concert places the conductor front and center. There are no sets, no costumes, no narratives; just pure music-making.
While Chicagoans have grown accustomed to Sir Andrew Davis, and that fair-haired head-toss poking out from the orchestra pit, we've rarely heard him conduct a symphony orchestra. Thursday's broadcast of The New York Philharmonic This Week will be just that. The concert features Sir Andrew Davis conducting works by Prokofiev and Franck, with soloist Marc-André Hamelin, along with the U.S. premiere of a piece by Julian Anderson (view program notes).

The thing that most traders of binary options want badly is that they have the best binary trading software that assist them in their trade. But the problem is that they don't know the qualities that describes the best software to choose. Some people tell them that the best one really is about how comfortable they are working with the software. There are also others that say it is based on the key features. But how about combining both? Not the most popular trading software may be the best fit for you. Just take a look at how you buy a particular brand, even though there are other brands out there that offer the same product and at a better price. This is because you feel comfortable with it. Added that with the qualities of the best software, you will be able to find the software that you are looking for.
The best binary trading software possesses the most fascinating assets to trade. But keep in mind that such a quality is only existent in the best. Usually, binary robots or software only invest with a single asset to trade. The best binary trading software is able to use multiple lucrative assets in order to get the best results. It should also be able to support multiple currencies and also able to make investments in commodities and indices. Talking about support on multiple currencies, it should also support multiple brokers, too. Although almost irrelevant to the subject at hand, one thing common among scam robots is they never give you an option to choose a broker you want. It should also be available on all countries that you go to. Wouldn't be an international presence be the best when you get to trade anywhere you want to? There are some software that can't be accessed in certain countries because of some regulation or law they have. The best ones are those that allow the software to gain access into binary options. It should be legal in countries like Israel, Singapore and Japan.
The software should also be free! There are no hidden costs to it. Many may not even believe this since it is a software that you are going to use for trading in binary options. You think about the software developers that developed the software, and they are just going to give it for free. However, this is only limited to certain software. There are those that require you to deposit money into your account, but this is only done so for the purpose of gaining access to binary options trading, not the software itself. You will be amazed that some of the best binary trading software are actually offered for free.
You can find out more about the best binary trading software qualities by visiting this site. Beginners can also use the trading software if they want, but at least they should learn the basics first so that they will get to understand why the software was making its decisions like that. It will be your tool, but not your replacement.

A minority of people with autism have one or more extraordinary intellectual talents, such as the rapid ability to calculate the day of the week for a given date, or to count large numbers of discrete objects almost instantaneously - they're often called 'autistic savants' or 'idiot savants'. Now Allan Snyder and colleagues have shown that by placing a pulsing magnet over a specific area of the brain, these kind of abilities can, to some extent, be induced in people who aren't autistic.

Special Interest Groups Discuss Their Aims For Upcoming Legislative Session
Published: Thursday, January 4, 2018 - 2:05pm
Updated: Thursday, January 4, 2018 - 2:48pm
Arizona's 2018 legislative session begins next week. The governor and lawmakers from both parties have their goals — many want additional funding for certain priorities, while others are looking to cut taxes. And a number of special interest groups and industries have their own aims.
As part of getting ready for the session, we're going to talk with people from some of those groups.
I'm joined by Dana Wolfe Naimark, the president and CEO of Children's Action Alliance. And for another perspective, I turn to Sandy Bahr, who has been a presence at the state capitol for a number of years. She is director of the Grand Canyon Chapter of the Sierra Club and is here to talk about environmental issues.

Departure day for the Velocity
After a hectic week of preparations it was time to provision the boats. The morning saw the delivery of the Gillespies Ginger Beer from Sam which, after a few years of rigorous testing, has proven to fight off the effects of sea sickness. Then a quick dash out to the Wursthaus Factory in Cambridge to collect the gourmet meats and a load of ice. Southern Cross and Win news kindly came down to the docks to do stories for the evening news as we loaded supplies into the cool boxes. Dave did a last minute oil change and fueled up the boat. Harbs and I collected the fresh food supplies from Marco at the Augusta Road Hill Street store and dropped the supplies for the Diamantina III out at Prince of Wales Bay.
We finally departed Hobart at 9.30 PM and are heading south where a 5 to 8 metre SW swell and light wind awaits us when we round Whale Head sometime early tomorrow morning. The Diamantina will depart from Prince of Wales Bay tomorrow at midday and the Breaksea will be leaving Dover Saturday afternoon.

You move out, leave the place in great shape, but after 14 days, you get a letter from the landlord saying she's keeping your security deposit. It's a major drag because you've just shelled out first and security and your new place, plus moving costs. Worse, you know the landlord is making up bogus reasons just to keep the cash. What can you do?
This recently happened to us. We were outraged by our landlords far-fetched, entirely imagined reasons for keeping our deposit and, worse, their nerve to claim we owed them several thousand dollars more. So we took our landlords to small claims court. And I'll tell you up front that we won.
Making the case
It was our first experience in Small Claims, and no suprise, we learned quite a bit about how to successfully present a case and defend against a counter claim. We won, so we did quite a few things right, but we also picked up a few tips a few tips for navigating the court system and putting the best case forward.
- Read the directions carefully. Then read them again. The court has so many specific procedures that failing to do one could postpone or derail the case.
- Print out all relevant emails and photos in triplicate: one copy for the judge, one copy for the person you're suing (the defendant) and one copy for you. If you win, you probably won't win these costs back so work on the cheap.
- Mediation is an option presented to everyone first thing on the morning of the court date. If you are willing to accept anything less than what you've asked for in your claim, mediation is the place to strike a bargain.
- If mediation doesn't work and you go before the judge, always be polite and courteous to the judge and other court officials. Use phrases like "Good morning, your honor", "Thank you, your honor" and "Yes, your honor." On our day in court we observed several very rude people and, no shock, they lost.
- Prepare talking points to present to the judge. Be clear and brief. Present your evidence and explain as simply as possible what happened, providing only important dates and details. For extra clarity, preparing a timeline is a great idea. She probably has a dozen cases after yours souse her time wisely.
- If the judge is asking you a lot of questions, you're probably in trouble. Either you haven't presented your case clearly enough or you are on shaky legal ground. If she asks the other side lots of questions, just be quiet and let them figure it out. Remember, whoever gets the most questions from the judge is probably going to lose.
Attorneys are not allowed in Small Claims, so you'll have to go it alone. However, that doesn't mean you can't consult with an attorney in advance for advice. You just can't bring him with you.
For more details about how to get your security deposit back, visit the judiciary's website.
If you've won or lost a case, please reply and post your comments, tips or advice.

US rejection of the Kyoto Protocol: The impact on compliance costs and CO2 emissions?
Manne, A.
Richels, R.
MetadataShow full item record
Despite the US rejection of the Kyoto Protocol, the meeting of the parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in July 2001 has increased the likelihood that the Protocol will be ratified. This raises a number of issues concerning mitigation costs, particularly for the buyers and sellers of emission permits. In this paper, we examine how the US decision is likely to affect compliance costs for other Annex B countries during the first commitment period. We also explore the implications for US emissions. Key findings include:

The FDA has issued Cheerios a warning for a drug marketing violation.
The Cheerios ad says that in six weeks, "Cheerios could help lower your cholesterol 4%." By making this type of claim, however, the FDA says Cheerios becomes a drug and thereby needs approval before advertising the results.
General Mills, who makes Cheerios, says they were approved as a drug several years ago; however, the FDA maintains that they were not.
I say stock up on your Cheerios stash while you can--with the FDA mad at them, you never know what could happen!

Maximum encroachments in water course poramboke
The government has not made much headway in removing encroachments from its lands, according to the Revenue Department policy note tabled in the Assembly on Monday by Minister K.A. Sengottaiyan.
As per the official statistics, less than 10 per cent of the total extent of encroachment has been removed so far. Of the 1.84 lakh acres identified as areas under encroachment as on April 1, 2011, the government could retrieve only 18,233 acres as on February 29, 2012.
While there were 6.58 lakh instances of encroachment, only 72,318 encroachers had been evicted. The maximum encroachments (nearly three lakh) covering 58,820 acres were identified in water course poramboke. Of these, 13,333 encroachments had been removed and 4,605 acres retrieved.
The Minister said that the removal of encroachments on government lands was the prime duty of the Revenue Department and a government order in 1987 and a Madras High Court judgement in 2000 had set the department a mandate to identify illegal encroachments on water courses and restore their original position after eviction. As regards encroachments on poramboke and other lands vested with village panchayats and local bodies, as per the directions of the Supreme Court, the government had to formulate an action plan to find out and evict all such encroachments for the betterment of society, the Minister said. As of February this year, the government had notified 2.08 lakh acres as surplus and assigned 1.90 lakh acres to the landless poor. As many as 66,429 Scheduled Cast families had been given 71,277 acres, the Minister said in his reply to the demands for grants for the Revenue Department.
Exceeding the target, the government had issued 1.20 lakh pattas in the past six months and distributed 21,852 community certificates to Scheduled Tribes alone in the past eight months.
The previous (Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam) regime had diverted about Rs.22 crore meant for the poor and deserving beneficiaries under various schemes in parts of Dindigul, Salem and Madurai districts to about 11,000 of its party workers, Mr. Sengottaiyan alleged. He promised proper implementation of welfare schemes.

If you caught my roundup post from Friday, you probably read that I was saying adios to civilization for the weekend to go camping in New York's Finger Lakes region. Well, this inexperienced camper made it out of the woods alive with only a few bug bites, scratches, and a pair of very sore feet.
If you weren't roughing it like I was, hopefully you caught the 14th Annual National Solar Tour, a massive "open house" event on Saturday where 5,000 solar-powered homes in 3,000 communities and cities across the US opened their doors to the general public. The American Solar Energy Society-hosted event was a big day for both generalized real estate looky-loos and for homeowners curious about investing in photovoltaic and solar thermal systems in their own homes.
Ed Begley Jr., celebrity environmentalist and co-star in one of my favorite early 1990s comedies, She Devil, had this to say about the event
Sustainable living is not only good for the planet, it's good for our wallets. The National Solar Tour offers families an opportunity to have meaningful conversations with friends and neighbors who are reaping the benefits of renewable energy and energy efficiency each and every day. It's a great way to get an up-close and personal perspective on how easy it can be to live the green life -- and how rewarding.
For those of you who made it to a local open house — there were an estimated 150,000 participants — did you tour any homes that changed your feelings about solar power? Or are you still on the fence?
And, of course, if you're in the Washington D.C. area this month, be sure to stop by the Solar Decathlon on the National Mall and root for you favorite collegiate, solar home-building team.

Name Necklace
12 August 2014 jewellery, name necklace
Do you remember that season on The Hills where Lauren Conrad decided every piece of her jewellery should have her name on it, the necklace, the ring, the bangle and then all of us decided that we needed to do the same thing?
Well from then on I have fallen head over heels for anything monogrammed and let's be honest anything LC related too (seriously are y'all as excited as I am to see the wedding, I think it will be a pinners dream).
So when I came across these beautiful necklaces the other day from 'Say What You C' I knew I had to post about them. They are a little more rough around the edges than the usual name necklaces and I love that, there is something quite industrial about them and I love when something so simple looking can become such a statement piece.
The designer Charlotte will stamp your name or any other word you like I suppose onto a metal bar and no two designs will be the same as they are all done by hand which I think is my favourite thing.
I have really fallen for these, I think they are so beautiful and I can hear the gold bar calling out my name, literally...!
The best thing is they are super affordable too. The long bar is £28 and the short bar is £24.
You can buy them HERE
Oh and take a look at the sites instagram page as there are so many pretty pictures of people wearing the necklaces and you will get a better idea of what they look like on, check it out HERE

Those are really pretty! I don't have any jewelry with my name on but every time I go to souvenir shops, I always look for the keychains or license plates just to see if they have my name- they never had it while I was growing up but apparently my name as become a bit more popular since then and now I see it everywhere! I remember when I was little, schools were always saying now to wear anything with your name on it because strangers would use it to their advantage so I guess I've kind of kept that mentality of being cautious about wearing my name haha...Still, I think jewelry like this is so pretty and I would definitely consider getting one, even if it just had my first initial. :)

When it comes to guys' clothes, there aren't too many great casual shirts and after a while using the same shirt over and over again gets old.
Tamo's Leisure Shirt does a great job of being casual but still managing to look "pulled together". There are three different recolourable channels: the shirt, the collar and the buttons. The shirt's for YA and AM.
Since the post was last updated on the 29th of September, I wouldn't assume it's compatible with Late Night but you never know.

Bruce Lee Quotes About StudentsQuotes about: Students
A good teacher can never be fixed in a routine... each moment requires a sensitive mind that is constantly changing and constantly adapting. A teacher must never impose this student to fit his favourite pattern; a good teacher functions as a pointer, exposing his student's vulnerability and causing him to explore both internally and finally integrating himself with his being. Martial art should not be passed out indiscriminately.
Too much horsing around with unrealistic stances and classic forms and rituals is just too artificial and mechanical, and doesn't really prepare the student for actual combat. A guy could get clobbered while getting into this classical mess. Classical methods like these, which I consider a form of paralysis, only solidify and constrain what was once fluid. Their practitioners are merely blindly rehearsing routines and stunts that will lead nowhere.

There is a relatively new service in town that makes simplifying life even simpler for seniors on the move.
'Move managers' reduce frustrations for elderly in household transition There is a relatively new service in town that makes simplifying life even simpler for seniors on the move. While it's called "Cape & Islands Senior Move Managers" and is intended to relieve the stressful trials and tribulations of moving or just simplifying life, owners Sheila Horan and Chris Meade, both of Centerville, say their service also comes in handy for working couples and executives who lack the time to handle the details of a move. The company promises "a personalized move plan detailing everything that needs to happen, where and when. We design a floor plan at the new home, downsize and manage the dispersal of household items to family members, friends, charities, and estate sales." They also assist with sorting and selecting the items being taken to a new residence, help select a moving company, coordinate with professionals, including painters, carpet cleaners and housecleaners "to freshen both current and new home" and arrange for trash removal, shredding and destroying sensitive documents, recycling, transfer utilities and Internet service and handle address changes. The partners "help people get started in their new home as well. We oversee and coordinate moving day activities, set up the new home to the client's specifications, unpack boxes, put away possessions, hang pictures and remove packing materials." "We usually get that part done in a day, although we say 48 hours just in case," Meade said. While the Cape & Islands service is just shy of a year old, this particular service industry has been around nationally for just over a decade, Meade said. It even has its own professional organization, the non-profit National Association of Senior Move Managers (NASMM), an association "dedicated to assisting older adults and families with the physical and emotional demands of downsizing, relocating or modifying their homes." Horan, who moved to and from various postings during a 29-year career with the FBI, and Meade, who encountered some personnel moving problems as a corporate human resources executive, have a combined 50 years of managerial experience. Both are relatively recent washashores, Horan relocating to the Cape just over four years ago, to be joined a few years later by Meade, her cousin. "Just before I relocated here," said Meade, "I went to a professional seminar in Connecticut and coincidentally met a woman who was a senior move manger. She talked about it and it appealed to me, since I like working with seniors." When she got to the Cape, Meade talked it over with Hogan, a first cousin. "I like working with seniors too," said Hogan," so I asked if she wanted a partner," and Meade replied, "Oh yes!" They set about doing the groundwork, networking with all sorts of professional service providers locally and nationally, acquiring bonding and insurance and reinforcing the methodology of efficiently handling utilities, Internet and postal changes. "We also work with families of seniors, their lawyers and advocates," Meade said, "to help make any transition – even if it's an 'age-in-place' change where downsizing is desired." While the cousins take over the work, they say the clients remain actively involved in every aspect, from choosing a mover to where to locate what items in a new residence or what items to give to what children or charity. "We may work with an offspring who lives in Ohio, for example, to help transition their parents into improved living conditions," Meade said. They noted an exodus of seniors from Florida in the last several years, "people who moved there and now want to come back to be nearer children or for other reasons," Horan added. The partners "acknowledge and respect the significant changes, stresses, frustrations and losses a client is experiencing and also facilitate communication among key people. In that vein, we're also connected to a large network of senior services providers." More information available is at www.capeandislandsseniormovemanagers.com.

December... its here, December 1st already in the past
I am vowing this year to not get caught up in all the craziness of the season, but to merrily go my way and sprinkle love and sparkles wherever I may go.
I am sending some handmade xmas cards this year though, writing them will be something I am going to enjoy and not rushing a few scribbles on the tube on my way in to work.
I love this handwritten giftwrap from anthropology, wrapped with a simple piece of string.... The beauty of a natural and minimal xmas time awaits
Enjoy the December days and let's not get too caught up in all the buzz and forget about the real reasons we are celebrating. Make the time to share with close friends and family and tell the ones you hold dear how much you love them and care

London: Emma Watson thinks she plays it too safe in the style stakes. Her petite, model proportions and English rose looks, not to mention her brand-enhancing power have secured her a place at the top of most fashion designer's must-dress list and scored her a handful of collaborations and campaigns to boot.
But in typically British self-deprecating style, Watson said that she thinks her style off the red carpet is dull and fears that she plays it too safe.
"My problem is that I am a little bit boring," a leading daily has quoted the actress as telling a magazine.
"I don't wear designer bags or big sunglasses. When I don't have to play Emma Watson in public, I'd rather not put myself 'out there'. I have to be more careful with my look in my everyday life," she added.

But what is this? A study has found that this is really shocking behaviour.
Beer, ice-cream, crisps, Indian takeaways, chips and anything in batter: normally, it's a particular food type that gets blamed for helping the British to pile on the pounds. But now a whole style of cooking and eating has come under fire for encouraging obesity in the UK.Oh no! Douse those coals immediately or at least follow the report's advice. Replace those sausages with a "tofu kebab or mixed green salad with harissa dressing" or at the very least "exercise portion control".
Research shows that Britons consume more than the recommended daily intake of calories in a single barbecue meal, with men often eating more than 3,500 calories and women more than 2,500.
So who carried out this research, which University or research establishment was involved? Er ... the study was "conducted by Boots and the Tony Ferguson Weightloss Programme" who just happen to have a new range of expensive diet products to sell to the guilt-ridden.
There was one consolation at the end of the piece,
However, the Boots research indicates that any advice on sensible alfresco eating habits is likely to be ignored: it found that although a third of those questioned (2,000 adults) were aware they eat more food than usual, 41% chose to forget how many calories they were consuming and ate as much as they wanted.Bravo for the 41%! Anyway, I always exercise portion control at my barbecues, the portions are vast.

Finding The Colour AgainPosted: November 16, 2015 Filed under: australia, blog, blogger, breast cancer, breast cancer blog, breast cancer blogger, Taxotears | Tags: alopecia, art, breast cancer, painting, self portrait, taxotears, Taxotere, watercolour 7 Comments
Life has been rolling along recently with loads of travel, with celebrations and lots of love. I was shortlisted for the Mamamia Writers Comp, which was some lovely validation for the writing of this blog. I also received an "Australian of The Year" nomination. Which despite making me laugh for weeks also left me secretly chuffed.
I seem to be relishing life at the moment.
As I approach the three year mark since I found my grade three lump in my left breast, the colour is FINALLY returning to my life, despite living with the ongoing side effects (hairloss, menopause, brittle painful bones, digestive issues, lung scarring, medication side effects, continued weight gain) from treatment for early breast cancer, I'm finally emerging from the sinkhole. This despite not even being finished with surgeries yet, as I'm still on a public waiting for reconstruction.
It's taken some woop arsed counselling sessions, some anti-depressants, and the immersion of myself in the things I used to love to do when I was a teenager. I bought a ukulele in Hawaii and I'm enjoying learning some basic chords and having a sing along. Painting has been such a feature of the last few months. Commissions are coming in thick and fast so I'm finally ready to set up a business.
Here's a grab of the stages of my latest painting.
I'm no longer thinking about if the cancer comes back. I'm no longer worried about death. I've reached the point of que sera sera … the future's not ours to see, and all that. So thanks Doris Day and thanks cancer for reconnecting me with my creative side which I lost for 26 years.

Cutting My LossesPosted: November 26, 2014 Filed under: breast cancer, chemotherapy, FEC -D, Hair loss, Taxotears | Tags: Minoxidil, Rogaine, spironolactone 9 Comments
It's a very strange feeling to be over 16 months out from chemotherapy and yet be back to square one with the hair where it all began to fall out in April 2013 from FEC – D chemotherapy. Punk Chick and JRF helped me treat the hair loss as a celebration of sorts, a path to wellness. "Piece of cake!" I said, since it wasn't going to be permanent.
In retrospect, what a genius idea it was to document that process for the SHITTY TITTIE CHEMO CUT CHALLENGE. None of us had any inkling that so much of my hair would be killed off permanently by my life saving chemotherapy.
Just yesterday, I had the pleasure of lunch with the radiant, rainbow coloured, hairdresser Punk Chick and my dear sisterlike friend Kenny. They agreed my head could do with a shave as there wasn't a lot of other options holding out for me in haircut land. So this had to be. A clean slate. Starting afresh, moving on, and all that.
As it stands, this must be about Shitty Tittie Chemo Cut Fourteen, and hopefully one day very soon, I won't think of this as a chemo cut anymore but just as "my cut". The association between this and chemo is very strong. But so was the constant reminder of cancer from looking like I had the hair of the Three Stooges.
(Yes, all of them together) And many people still thought I was still having active treatment anyway.
I'll continue ingesting Minoxidil and Spironolactone through the summer and then I think I'll just forget about it. The hair specialist says the hair I have is likely to fall out once the meds stop. But I have so much to be thankful for and it's time to direct my energies to more important things. You know, like things that actually matter.
So for now I'll run with the slogan , "the family that shaves together stays together". Or something like it.
This is us. This is me.Posted: November 23, 2014 Filed under: breast cancer, FEC -D, Hair loss, Shittytittie Chemo Cuts Reveal Challenge, Taxotears | Tags: Canon, Canon shine, National Photographic Portrait Prize, NPPP 9 Comments
Twenty three months ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Around the same time, 650kms away from me lived a woman roughly my age, married and raising two young children, who was also just diagnosed with breast cancer. We met in an online community for young women with cancer, a group that has connected me with women that will be lifelong friends.
Marina is one of them.
We had the same chemotherapy regimen and she would read my blog to see what laid ahead for her because I was a week further along. Despite going through exactly what I was going through, incredibly, when I struggled to get out of bed, Marina posted to me little gift packages with the sweetest cards. When I started to burn from radiation, we texted photos of our chests to each other and she shared what she had learnt from treatment. When my hair never grew back, she sent me her beautiful silk hair scarves (pictured) that she wasn't using anymore. Later on, she brought me her wig when she visited me in my hometown.
Despite us both having aggressive, nodal positive breast cancer, we are positive for still being here, and now inextricably linked by our shared experience and friendship. Marina is such a brave woman and she has taught me a lot about myself.
Earlier in the year, Marina jumped on an extraordinary opportunity to tell her story through Canon's "Shine a Light" promotion. Several months after we had completed our treatment, the Australian journalist Lisa Wilkinson chose Marina as her subject to photograph as a symbol of what matters to her. Shining a light on breast cancer was what mattered to her, and she wanted to capture an image of an incredibly strong survivor.
In the video below, Marina articulates the message that people see her as she is now. She doesn't want to shy away from how breast cancer and a double mastectomy has physically transformed her. Here, Marina is coming out of the other side of her breast cancer. As if to say, "this is me, I'm happy with who I am, take it or leave it". Bravery in spades!
A month ago, I had the pleasure of flying to Marina's city. She wanted to enter an image of me in the National Photographic Portrait Prize (2015) in Canberra because she finds my story compelling.
This year the competition received the biggest number of entries in its history. Sadly, Marina's images didn't make the top two percent of thousands of submissions and although disappointed she didn't make the cut, we wait with anticipation to see the final images selected when it is exhibited next year.
What is clear though, is Marina's passion for photography and her incredible talent for it will go far. Marina turned to photography earlier this year as a positive focus in her life after the horrors of last year, and she has achieved so much in such a short time.
What was of interest in my story to Marina, was the cruel irony in me creating the Shitty Tittie Chemo Cut Challenge which can be viewed here, virtually celebrating the loss of my hair to chemotherapy with such positivity.
And yet here I am fifteen months later, overweight and menopausal, wearing my wedding ring on my necklace because It doesn't fit my lymphedema swelling in my hand from surgery. I am still without eyebrows, and if you zoom in you can see the facial hair I have from the hair drugs I take. Let us not forget that ghastly hair!
But it's not about the hair to me. It's about the other things that it represents; the loss of health, youth, fertility, breast sensation, beauty, intimacy, womanliness, femininity. I think Marina has captured the essence of all of that so well. It can be seen in the tension in my eyes and forehead, in the anger with the wig. She HAS really nailed it. My story.
So, this is me. Take it or leave it.
TAKE WHAT YOU WANT AND PAY FOR IT: Shitty Tittie Chemo Cuts #1
KEEP YOUR HAIR ON: Shitty Tittie Chemo Cuts #3
When I look at Marina's images I get choked up in the same way Marina did when Lisa Wilkinson showed her her images for the first time. There is grief and loss captured here, but there is also acceptance of self.
I can't thank Marina enough for asking me to be involved in this project.
Thank you also to our gorgeous friend Candy for her assistance with the titles and words. I would never have reached that 100 word limit on my own!
Chemoversary EditionPosted: July 20, 2014 Filed under: breast cancer, chemotherapy, FEC -D, Hair loss, Shittytittie Chemo Cuts Reveal Challenge, Taxotears 6 Comments
This week saw the passing of three hundred and sixty five days since I completed my Fec-D chemotherapy regimen.
Yes. It's my "Chemoversary"!
And tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999.
No, no, no, I won't be doing that! Instead, I will, on this splendid Sunday evening, present to you a bathroom selfie titled "Shitty Tittie Chemo Cut Thirteen – The Chemoversary Edition."
With around 3-6% percent of women who have the drug Taxotere (Docetaxol) going on to have poor hair regrowth post chemo, and with doctors stumped about what the mechanism is that leads to thinning and baldness in some patients, I'm guessing this makes me pretty spesh and unique.
But there is more to life than having long, thick hair.
For example, wiping hairs out of your face on windy days is such a pain. So is getting a long hair in your mouth while you are eating. That stuff one can do without. Who needs to waste time purchasing hair accessories? Who really wants the risk of getting their hair caught in power tools? That is dangerous! Or braiding or platting hair. Pffft! Or tying it back with scrunchies. So 1980's anyway. Those things are all so, so overrated! And quite frankly, pony tails belong on ponies. There I said it!
There is also much, much more to life than supporting the hair dressers of the good land in which you live. (Sorry Punk Chick – It was my dream to visit you every couple of months for a new do to make up for my abmissal hair dressing tally from the 1970's to 2013). But in 369 days, and after a bit of fuzz trimming, this is where we are at. I ain't going to be helping you pay your bills any time soon!
Thank you to all the people who felt sorry for me. It truly helps to know you hold some sort of nostalgia for my hair loss too. Thank you also to the people who finally conceded defeat and stopped telling me it was early days and would grow back normally with more time.
To get a little nostalgic for my lost hair you can see what it started out like prior to chemo and finished up as in the video here…
Huge thanks to my girlfriends Candy, Marina and Angie who sent me or offered to send me their wigs from across Australia. An incredibly real version of Lady Diana and Ab Fab Patsy arrived at my front door via Australia Post. I'll share some pics of these at some stage. I have embraced these wigs a few times in my own house with the blinds pulled down. I even ventured out in public in the company of trusting girlfriends, when late one night we went out for dinner in town on one of the coldest and quietest nights of the week. At this stage, they still feel a little like wearing a dead marsupial on my head. But I might persist. Might being the operative word.
For anyone who ever finds themselves in this situation of hair not returning properly post chemotherapy, there are women world-wide who will share their stories and offer support and advice. Click here to be taken to the resource "Ahead of Our Time" from a group called the Taxotears. Permanant hair loss can be one of the hardest psychological issues to deal with post cancer treatment.
Thankfully, I'm getting to the stage where I'm starting not to care so much. But it has taken many months to get here and I'm not shedding Taxotears anymore.

Returns: partnership returns: introduction
There is no partnership liability in SA, but there is a partnership return to allow partnership matters to be dealt with centrally. Individual partners are required to include their share of any partnership profits in their own returns. The share of profits they enter in their own returns must correspond with the allocations shown in the partnership return. The comparison is carried out automatically except for accounting periods or trades not captured.
Although partners are individually responsible for the tax due on their share of partnership profits all matters relating to the calculation of those profits, and to the allocation of profits between partners, is dealt with through the partnership return.
Note: The maximum number of partner records that can be linked to a partnership within SA is 999.
Whilst the principal use of the partnership return is for compliance purposes, the return is submitted to the office with processing responsibility for capture of the return information. Returns are captured in full.
The return must
- Be electronically filed, or be on the HMRC paper form, or be a computer generated version which is identical to the official HMRC form.
- Be signed by the correct person, including a person acting in any capacity
- Include all supplementary pages indicated on the return as being necessary. Note: A spreadsheet, table or list providing details which should be on separate supplementary pages (multiple trades or accounting periods) is not acceptable
Limited Liability Partnerships
A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) provides the organisational flexibility of a partnership with the benefit of limited liability for its members. LLPs would normally be taxed as companies because in commercial law they are bodies corporate. However, special tax rules ensure that, in general
- LLPs are treated as partnerships rather than as corporate bodies
- The income and gains of LLPs are normally taxed on their members as if they were partners in an ordinary partnership
A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) will be set up in SA with a partnership record unless
- The LLP is not carrying on a commercial business, for example clubs and societies
- The LLP is in liquidation. Note: An ITSA return will be required for the period up to the date of liquidation, a Company Tax return will be required for the post liquidation period
It is therefore important that you notify the CT section in any of the above circumstances, so that a CT file and COTAX record can be set up.
For further information, see the COTAX Manual at business area 'Case Records', section 'Setting Up Case Records', subject 'Limited Liability Partnerships'.
Return receipt
On receipt of the return the date of receipt must be stamped on the return and recorded (logged) on the partnership record using function LOG RETURN. Where bar code reading equipment is available this should be used to log returns as it is quick and accurate.
A return should be logged in the office in which it is received, provided that office has the LOG RETURN function available on Local Data Capture (LDC). The return must then be sent as soon as possible to the current office with processing responsibility.
Following the initial review of the return, clerical checks are required before capture to
- Identify any changes to the partnership details and update the records accordingly
- Consider whether any action is required immediately, for example, to deal with correspondence received with the return
- Identify unsatisfactory returns
Unsatisfactory returns received before the filing date which are sent back on or after 10 October (or within 21 days before any other filing date), should be unlogged whilst the return is sent back to the nominated partner or agent who submitted it regarding omissions.
Where an agent is acting, a letter should also be issued to the other party notifying them of the action taken. If, in a case where an agent is acting, it is not possible to tell who submitted the return, it should be sent back to the nominated partner, see subject 'Maintain Taxpayer Record: Nominated Partner' (SAM101290), as it is their ultimate responsibility to ensure that a satisfactory return is submitted.
If the information is not supplied within 21 days, automatic penalties will apply.
|Unsatisfactory returns received on 1 November should not be treated in the same way as those received in the period 10 to 31 October. This is to correspond with the fact that since October 2011, a return received on that date is considered to be late and will attract a penalty
|Where the return has been received prior to the filing date but is being returned as unsatisfactory within 21 days before the filing date, a period of 21 days is given to allow a satisfactory return to be submitted. A period longer than 21 days should be allowed in certain exceptional circumstances, for example overseas addresses or UK geographical areas where there are known longer postal times
Return capture
|It is important that you capture all relevant entries on the return as fully as possible and do not omit figures from return boxes simply because the system will allow you to do so. This is because, even where a box does not affect the calculation of the liability, the information is used for statistical, compliance and other purposes. Also, what you capture on the system needs to provide as complete a picture as possible for other staff to view.
|Where a return has not been identified as an 'Away' return at the pre-capture stage, the return should be fully captured in the office of receipt. After full capture (including repairs), the return should be redirected to the responsible office and an SA Note made to record the action taken. On receipt in the responsible office, the return should be passed directly for 2nd day actions that may be required before being allocated a batch number and stored.
The partnership return is captured in full. The information is captured under Process Now and any enquiries dealt with under Check Later.
As details are entered the computer makes checks, identifies errors and gives warnings where unlikely situations arise. Some clerical reviews are necessary, for example, to deal with correspondence received with the return and to repair obvious errors or mistakes on the return.
Where it is found that a partnership return needs a repair it is important that corresponding changes are also made to the individual partners' returns. Where a partnership return is repaired a notification of the repair must be sent to the partnership and to each individual partner's office with processing responsibility, so that a revision notice detailing the repair(s) can be issued to the partner. It is therefore recommended that partnership returns and any associated partners' returns which come in together are kept together.
It is possible to store a return if only partially captured in LDC where further information is required. However, it is important to clear these cases as quickly as possible as they are only held in LDC for a short period of time before they are deleted. The weekly paper report, 'LDC Returns to be deleted list', gives a minimum 7 day warning of all partially captured returns which will be deleted from the LDC server if they are not fully captured.
A paper report of returns held on LDC can also be obtained for management purposes by using the LDC Administrator function REQUEST LDC LIST. Other paper reports are produced to help manage returns in LDC.
Following full capture of the return
Information is passed to the main computer for
- Processing of the return information (SAM122225), and
- Updating of the partnership record
Clerical checks will be required to
- Ensure that all partnership income has been accounted for by the partners
|Some partnerships may submit more than one set of Standard Accounts Information. Where this occurs, in general, only the SAI for the business with the largest turnover, or where there is a single business, the latest period will be captured
|Partnerships with an annual turnover of less than £15,000 will not have to complete the SAI. They need only complete the three line accounts information on the return
|Partnerships with a turnover of £15 million or more and CT partnerships are not required to complete SAI. Instead they must submit full accounts and computations. In these cases only the receipt of the return will be logged and the relevant return details captured. For more information see subject 'Partnerships: Turnover £15 million or more' (SAM122220)
Filing online
Partnership returns can also be submitted over the Internet. The maximum number of partner statements that can be filed online for a single partnership tax return is 999. Partnership returns will go straight to the mainframe system with no clerical involvement. They will be subject to the same computer checks (validation) as returns captured in Local Data Capture (LDC) and will not be accepted unless they pass all validation.

Life is a journey… and it's happening now. It's always happening now. There is only NOW.
The past is over. The future is yet to be — at present, nothing but a dream, a vision.
Again, that phrase… there is only now.
I sit here pondering how it is I get so caught up in what was and what will be — all the while missing out on what is.
As I sit here on the patio, enjoying my lunch at a favorite restaurant, I begin to watch and listen to the children laughing and playing as their parents are deeply engrossed in conversation.
I see life happening all around me — people enjoying themselves — completely oblivious to the food they are eating, the waiters coming and going, the cars driving by, the birds singing and flitting about…
It's fascinating, as I realize I am becoming more and more in tune with the present moment. As I notice the array of expressions and cacophony of conversation I begin to be aware of the various tastes and textures of my food, a hint of coolness in the air – on an otherwise blisteringly warm day, and the surrounding beauty of the many trees in their array of shapes, sizes, and colors.
When I sat down I was much like everyone else, completely oblivious to the moment. But now I have slowed to the pace of life, even if only for a few moments, and it's glorious.
I now realize how much I'm enjoying my meal. Each bite is a pleasure of tastes and sensations. I feel something welling up within me that at first I find hard to describe — so I sit with it, just enjoying it as I revel in the feeling — and then it hits me… I'm in tune with life — connected to the fabric of the universe — loving the moment that is.
This is brilliant. I feel so alive, so happy. My body is tingling with excitement. About what I'm not sure, but who cares. I go with it, deciding to see if I can continue this way of being for the rest of the day.
Later I come to realize how free and energized I felt throughout the day as I went about my various activities — activities that I'm typically less than enthusiastic about performing. Yet today I find that I've been highly productive and extremely happy, enjoying the moment, regardless of what I was doing.
This isn't the first time I've had such an experience, yet I know there is a lesson that I'm meant to learn. Ah yes, make living in the moment, being totally present to what is a conscious and regular practice – not just a now and again occurrence of chance.
Looking back on previous such experiences I'm reminded of the immense peace, joy, and productivity that has always come with these episodes of greater connection and awareness. No matter what I was doing I found great pleasure, even in the midst of typically undesirable tasks. When I was totally present to the moment I'd flow through them with ease.
This is life. The moment that is. Connect with it. Enjoy it. Be one with it.
When you do you'll experience more peace, happiness, and pleasure than you ever dreamed possible, even when tackling those less than desirable tasks you'd otherwise put off or groan about as you forced yourself to deal with them .
If you have trouble being in the moment then follow this simple formula:
- Stop what you are doing
- Focus entirely on your breathing, taking deep cleansing breaths, until you feel calm and centered
- Take a few minutes and go for a walk, or minimally spend time in a peaceful and serene place of natural beauty, tuning in to your surroundings by
- ⁃ Moving more slowly
- ⁃ Taking in the beauty of the trees, flowers, children playing…
- ⁃ Feeling the breeze on your skin
- ⁃ Noticing the colors and textures, sights and sounds
- ⁃ Hearing the birds singing
- ⁃ Noticing your neighbor's landscaping
- ⁃ Feeling your body moving — happy to be out of it's usual routine
- ⁃ Skipping like a child, noticing how good and freeing it feels (don't worry about what others might think — just put a smile on your face and keep moving — better yet, invite them to join you)
This is being in the moment.
Now take this feeling and awareness into the rest of your day, whether you're cooking, doing the laundry, driving in traffic, putting together a report for your boss, etc.
My experience with being in the present moment is that you have a much better, more enjoyable, and infinitely more productive day than you do on average. Why? I can't say for sure, but here are my thoughts:
- You shut off the inner critic who's constantly berating you for not doing or being something
- You feel more pleasure in the task so it moves along much more quickly
- You quit worrying about what was or what may be…
All of this give you more energy and allows you to experience more happiness.
Remember, when we are constantly focused on the past or future we are most often expending a lot of unnecessary physic energy fretting about what was or what will likely never come to pass.
Give yourself the gift of living in the moment. Allow yourself to experience the genuine happiness that comes along for the ride when you connect to the world around you.
This practice is especially useful to perform when you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, down, or otherwise unsettled. During these times, do whatever it takes to be in the moment — moment, by moment, by moment — for In the present moment their is nothing you cannot handle.
You'll find that when you spend a little time in the present moment, free from the overwhelming distractions your mind was focused on, that things will readily sort themselves out. You'll feel immensely better, and Ideas and solutions will begin to flow with ease.
Remember, life is a journey and it happens in the now. So spend more time in the present moment to begin experiencing perpetual happiness.
To your eternal happiness.
Love and hugs, Michelle

The family finally sat around the table, ready to devour the feast before us. But first, the moment of truth: sharing what we're most thankful for. This is one of the few times you really want to go first. What if your "thanks" is taken before your turn arrives? Do you have a 2nd, 3rd, 4th… choice? This year, I was the "lucky" last one. Read more below.
As we went around the table giving thanks, the usual ones came up, along with a few new ones. My daughter's husband was with us for the first time (as her husband) and my son had invited his girlfriend as well. We were thankful for the fresh, happy faces to share our day with and for the fact that although a big storm had crossed the entire country, wreaking havoc for thousands of travelers, somehow we had all flown to Oklahoma with no problems! That's pretty impressive, considering that we came in from California, Georgia, North Carolina and New York. That was a big blessing for which we were extremely grateful!
I was the last one to participate in the circle of thanks, and luckily for me, I had a gratitude that was personal and not in danger of being "stolen." I was grateful for all of the changes that have occurred in my life this year and even the last few years. There have been difficult times, but the truth is, difficulty is sometimes the only way to effect change. And if we don't change, we are actually left behind, wondering where everyone else went. We were created to grow, mature, and yes, CHANGE! I'm so thankful that I am no longer the person I was when I was 18, 21 or even 40. I'm grateful that my marriage has changed and that my family and children have too. I look forward to the future changes that I presently must leave in God's hands.
I'm reading the daily devotional, Look Unto Me, by Charles Sturgeon, and I feel like this quote more beautifully portrays my feelings:
Winter in the soul can be an uncomfortable season… [Do} not complain, for losses, crosses, weariness, sickness, poverty, and a thousand other difficulties are sent by the Lord and come to us through His wise purpose. Remember, frost also kills deadly insects, stemming agonizing diseases. It softens the hardness of the soil as well and sweetens our soul. Oh, that such good results would always follow our winters of affliction!… May we treasure our Lord who is the constant source of warmth and comfort in every time of trouble… may we wrap ourselves in the warm garments of His promises.
So, I'm grateful for the trials that have brought about good changes in my life. I'm also grateful to see my parents healthy again after a season of affliction. My heart grows warm at the sight of my happy adult children.
On a lighter note, I thank God that both of our kids, along with their significant others have a love of cooking and eating healthy, wholesome food! This year, I asked each couple to make a few dishes in order to help Nana not work so hard. The added bonus was that everyone had a great time, as you can tell from the photos below.

Once upon a time, I was a carb-monster. I was 100% invested in the pasta-for-energy camp and probably ate it 4 days a week. I still get a little drooly when I see a ginormous plate of creamy pasta and sauce. However, we all know now that too many carbs can be bad too, and that carb energy? short lived and liable to make you bonk afterwards. So the pasta-monster has had to be tamed a little in favour of lean protein and lots of veggies.
Despite all of this, there are some nights when the only thing that will satisfy is a big bowl of tortellini, and I have a million and one recipes for things to add to it. Today's recipe is based on one from the Our Best Bites Cookbook. This cookbook is probably the most-used recipe book in my kitchen. I discovered their blog a couple of years ago, and couldn't resist the book when it came out. Anyway, back to the recipe. I have a tendency, when I'm feeling too lazy to hit the grocery store, to grab everything I can find in the cupboard and fridge, then search for recipes that might suit what I've got. The other night, it was canned tomatoes, canned artichokes and ground turkey. The recipe I used as a base was the Tomato Artichoke Tortellini from the book. It's supposed to be vegetarian, but I couldn't let a good package of ground turkey go back in the freezer.
Put some water on to boil for your pasta - I like tortellini for this, but you could use anything.
Start by browning the meat in a large pan. When it's lost all its pink, add 3 or 4 cloves of garlic, minced and stir until it smells all garlicky and delicious.
Add in a can of marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped (my artichokes were not marinated, just canned in brine, so I added some oregano and basil and salt and pepper too). Also, add in a can of diced tomatoes, and a couple of tablespoons of tomato paste. Stir the whole lot until it's heated through, and add salt and pepper to taste.
Mix the sauce together with the pasta, and grate some parmesan cheese over the top. Serve!
I love a good one pot meal, and this kind of pasta really does the trick when you need a fast, hearty meal. Notice that almost everything was canned, and hence, very accessible to the boonies cook!
Meaty Tomato-Artichoke Pasta
(based on recipe from Our Best Bites)
1 lb ground meat (turkey or other)
3-4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 can marinated artichoke hearts, chopped
1 15 oz. can diced tomatoes
3 tablespoons tomato paste
salt and pepper (and oregano and basil if your artichokes aren't marinated) to taste
Parmesan cheese
1 package frozen tortellini

BIG card
It's my Mum's birthday next month and I decided to make her a big card using one of these 8 ins x 8 ins blank cards. I bought them ages ago but have never got around to using one till now! As I used the Tim Holtz bird cage and flourishes dies, they are big enough to use on such a large 'canvas'. The blue parts were created using Paper-Soft which gives a lovely soft chalky finish.

Inchy catch - up!
Mainly because of my holiday I haven't been able to join in the latest InchybyInch challenges - on the theme of WORDS. But I have now caught up and here are my inchies for the first six words: touch, dainty, wave, separation, devotion and the past.

Birthday Card
Hi everyone - I know it's been a while since I posted anything, but I've been on holiday!! I went to the USA - started off in Atlanta, then travelled to Nashville, Memphis and New Orleans. We had fantastic weather, lots of sun and the temperatures varied from a 'cool' 75 to a hot 90 F. We got to hear lots of music too, as well as visiting all the famous places and studios where Elvis lived and worked... no I'm not a huge fan of Elvis, but obviously these were all included. I was surprised to find that Graceland is actually not that big, it always looks enormous in photos. The one disappointing factor about the holiday is that I did not find one rubber stamp shop while I was there! I usually come home with an extra suitcase full. Anyway, I am back now and must catch up with all the birthday and Christmas cards, and challenges too! I've just made this card for a friend's birthday at the end of the month - the tree stamp is by Crafty Individuals and the circular 'time to celebrate' is a Craft Stamper freebie from a couple of months ago.
