I need help with my housekeeping!
Blog housekeeping, that is; to link to the blog a friendly, private online space just for Lupey Loops friends to meet, chat and share with each other.
Now there is such a space: a Lupey Loops Google+ 'Community': https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/114403140403082646908
My problem now is to somehow connect the Lupey Loops blog 'Members' with the new Google+ 'Community' and your help is needed, especially if you would like to participate.
Despite encouragement and demonstrations about the benefits of Google+, which I appreciate, I don't quite understand the intricacies of it. The terminology in particular is very confusing to me.
Joining Lupey Loops Friends
When I first started Lupey Loops, I added a Blogger widget to the right hand side of the page called "Google Friend Connect" for people to become 'Friend Connect Members' of the blog ('Join this site' button). 'Members' can find and make connections with other 'Members' who have Lupey Loops in common. In this way, I was hoping people with similar interests can get to know each other.
It is easy to click on a person's profile picture and find their blog or send a message through 'Google Friend Connect' while maintaining a good level of personal privacy - a very important factor for many of us in the blogosphere.
Then Google+ Came Along
Google+ offered a way to manage groups of contacts and share information, similar to Facebook but I was quite happy to keep my blogging activities separate from my personal IRL* activities.
I joined Google+ because other friends had joined and were singing its praises but, after numerous attempts, I found it hard to understand and follow. I did not like the layout which seemed to waste a lot of space on my screen so there was a lot of scrolling to be done (not kind to the body) in order to read all the posts.
Managing Profiles: Blogger vs. Google+
I decided to focus on the 'Blogger Community' (accessed from the blog and through the aforementioned "Friend Connect" widget).
It was all working well until Google+ decided it would integrate with Blogger. Since then, Google has encouraged people to connect their Blogger 'Profile' to a Google+ 'Profile'. The catch is this: one loses the Blogger 'Profile' altogether to have it overridden by the Google+ 'Profile'.
My blogosphere profile is different to my personal profile because they are tailored to different audiences for different purposes (just like a person's Linked In profile might be very different to their Facebook or Instagram profile) and I wanted to keep it that way.
So although I have a Google+ account, it is not connected (or integrated) with the Lupey Loops blog on Blogger at all.
Overcoming Problems
Since all the fuss began, I have noticed that the Google Friend Connect widget has not worked properly for me and I have a feeling that this was a part of the transition to Google+. I am not sure how to fix it.
One thing I am sure of is: if you would like to be a part of a Lupey Loops friendship group (Google+ 'Community') please let me know - either in a comment at the end of this post or a private email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Because this is a moderated 'Community', exclusive to Lupey Loops friends, access is by invitation only. To invite you, I need to know your Google+ profile name or your email address. I assume one needs to be a Google+ member to access it though.
I really don't know enough about Google+ etc. and am learning as I go so please be patient. If you have any helpful advice or expertise to share, I'd love to know!
Accessing the Lupey Loops Google+ Community
If you are a Google+ member, and you have been invited to join the Lupey Loops Google+ 'Community' you can find it through the menu on the left hand side of your Google+ profile page.
Scroll down and select 'Communities'. Lupey Loops should be listed there.
The Lupey Loops Google+ 'Community' is not a replacement for the blog. It is a place where we can discuss in real time all sorts of things, besides blog posts, and share pictures of our WIPs* etc.
While I am not as active in Google+ as in the blogosphere, it is a channel for those who do prefer Google+ to keep in touch with Lupey Loops. I will make an effort to post links to each new blog post as they are published.
Any other ideas? Let me know!
Hugs, Jodie xx
IRL = "In Real Life"; i.e. not online or in the 'virtual' world.

Title: The Treasure Of Kafur
Author: Aroon Raman
Publisher: Pan Macmillan
Language: English
No. Of pages: 400 pages
In 1312 A.D when Alauddin Khilji ruled the Delhi sultanate, his general Malik Kafur led the invasion of several Southern principalities. During these campaigns, it is said, he collected and hid 241 tonnes of gold, 20,000 horses and 612 elephants laden with looted treasure. He hid this treasure so that no one except him and his king knew its location.
The novel, written by Aroon Raman is set in 1580 A.D, fast-forwarding to when Akbar was the ruler of Hindustan. The story is about a boy, Dattatreya and his grandmother, Ambu, who have psychic powers. They live about 400 kos away from Agra in the village of Sillod and they know the secret location of Kafur's treasure.
Asaf Baig, the tyrannical King of Khandesh, discovers that they are privy to this secret and tries to force Ambu to reveal the location of the treasure. To save his grandmother, to change their kingdom's fate and to protect Hindustan from potential rule of cruel Baig, Datta is forced to make the journey from Sillod to Agra to deliver the truth to Akbar, while avoiding being captured by Baig's men.
My copy of 'The Treasure of Kafur' arrived on Thursday morning and by 8pm that day I was done, even though I had to go to work. I truly enjoyed the book. The story begins with a flashback and this combined with premonitions and artistically interesting ambiguity sprinkled throughout the book compelled me to go on. I needed to know! Having said that at certain points, I didn't understand things because too much information had been withheld from me by the author. Nonetheless, these points in the story were few and far apart.
The book is mostly fiction with a bit of fantasy and it honest truth, a couple of the 'fantasy' elements didn't appeal to me as much I hoped they would. Datta, did not impress me I had, had expected him to: him being the protagonist. His successes were more lucky than anything and I didn't care much about him as the 'hero'.
Despite, all this the book was surprisingly engaging and perhaps the best things about the book are that: one, the author does not treat this like a history lesson and two, that you don't even need to be interested in history to enjoy the book. On the other hand, it is sure to delight certain history lovers. The vocabulary used by Raman makes it easy to read for anyone who wishes to pick up this book.
Although jerky in the beginning, the story line flows fluently as it progresses. There are a lot of characters but they are never left in the background, helping us connect with them. The Treasure of Kafur is like a breath of fresh air in the increasing array of campus love stories. It is matures with the protagonist and the story telling is fast paced - written for the reader of today. There is love, angst, action, romance, friendship, loyalty, intrigue, adventure and fantasy. It includes everything one could want in a good book. I definitely recommend Aroon Raman's 'The Treasure of Kafur'.

Oh le sigh. Staycation is officially over and it was a great, great week. We were only off a little bit longer than a week, but it was very much needed time off and Hubs and I made pretty good use of our vaycay. We did tons of stuff around the house but also fit in lots of relaxation time too, and...drumroll please...booked a vacation for Maui this year! Wheeeeeeee!! We were both thinking of only doing staycations this year and saving our money for Europe in 2014, but we just figured you only live once, and why deprive yourself of the things you love? And we definitely love Maui. Can't wait to get back there and smell the plumeria in the air. Love.
Sunday: 30 mins treadmill
After hours and hours working around the house, Hubs and I were exhausted but we dutifully worked out in our home gym. Not gonna lie, I was this close to blowing it off.
Tuesday: rest
Wednesday: bootcamp a.m./PISE p.m.
Killer upper body workout today day! Jason was back from completing Ironman Texas in a kickass time and was still recovering (thankfully...hee hee!) so didn't take us around the lakes for a run, but we did hill repeats with exercises thrown in after each repeat. So the first upper body killer was two rounds of pushups, 25 each round. At evening class with Josh, he had us do four exercises (overhead farmer walk, T-pushups, thrusters and renegade rows) ten times each, ten sets...so quickly doing the math, that was 100 pushups so 150 pushups for the day, all from the toes and I tried as hard as I could to keep good form. I actually remember laying down outside of PISE, staring up at the sky and thinking eff me, I'm tired! My arms seriously felt like they were going to fall off...I basically went home, threw some dinner at my face, crawled to the couch, curled up in a ball and fell sound asleep.
Thursday: rest
Friday: PISE p.m.
Turkish getups! If anyone's never seen these before, here's a crazy video showing how it's done...
Note, I did this with a five pound weight and not a girl on my arm and it was kinda hard. Ha!
Saturday: 10K run
Being that we were on staycation, we eased things up a bit this week with our food but never went crazy nuts. A few more restaurant meals but we really tried to choose wisely...I'm all over healthy eating, but sometimes you have to enjoy life too! It's all about balance, right?
Thank god our oven is fixed...$600 later...gack! Some crazy circuit board thingie blew so we had to do it as I needs my oven. New recipes this week were a farro risotto from Clean Eating and a mediterranean chickpea lentil salad.

Holidays are always too short. But I've heard that the best remedy for post-holiday-itis is to book another one. Smart move. Maui will be fun!

Tonight: The Furthest Reaches of Rock Climbing
On October 14, 2010 By Noel Black
You don't have to be a rock climber or a mountaineer to appreciate the outer limits of human ability and endurance to which these athletes often push themselves. For the past five years Colorado College graduate Pete Mortimer ('97) has been helping to curate Reel Rock, a mini touring film festival that features most daring and innovative climbers and mountaineers from around the world. This year's festival includes films about a free climber who uses a base parachute instead of ropes to ascend some of the most spectacular climbs in the world by himself; a speed-climber and alpinist who climbs the Eiger in under 3 hours; and two young men from Boulder who complete the most technically difficult bouldering routes in the world.Continue Reading →

When Klunkers Were King
On July 27, 2010 By Noel Black
It's hard to imagine Colorado without mountain bikes. The knobby-tired bicycles are so ubiquitous now that it seems almost impossible that there was a time when trails were mostly for hiking. It may also be hard for you to believe that mountain bikes were once called "balloon-tired klunkers" and that the people who rode them wore t-shirts and jeans or shorts instead of spandex/"Tron suits".Continue Reading →

Barkers, sandwich boards and, now, the ubiquitous Coroplast arrows held by humans on street corners.

Some wear ear buds, dance, wave and wag the signs while others just stand there. […]Continue Reading →

If you've ever driven down Cascade Avenue between Uintah and Cache La Poudre on a sunny Spring day, you may have seen Colorado College students balancing on a narrow line strung between two trees.

Re: Fellers Family of Lewis Co. MO
In reply to:
Fellers Family of Lewis Co. MO
Larry Parks 11/01/09
I have reviewed your genforum posting of 11/1/2009.I may have information of use to you or I may only obscure the facts.On 12 Sep 1750, head of household Johannes Foeller (~1718-1774) arrived in Philadelphia aboard the "Priscilla."His family included at least two young sons, Andreas Foeller(~1749-1818) and Peter Foeller (~1747-1801).The evidence that Andreas and Peter were not born in America is the record of naturalization (as subjects of the Crown) in 1765.
Johannes Foeller(~1718-1774) settled his family near Allentown, PA.My line descends from Andreas Foeller(~1749-1818).In the 25 years I have worked Feller(s) history, I have been amazed that I have had almost no contact with researchers of the Peter Foeller(~1747-1818) line.I know of only one researcher of the Peter Foeller(~1747-1801) line and I have had no contact with her for several years.However, she has supplied me with a very copy of his very informative will.
Peter Foeller(~1747-1801) grew up in PA and married Catherine there.Most, if not all, of their seven childrenwere born in PA.At some point the family moved to VA, where Peter Foeller(~1747-1801) died in Franklin County.All seven children are believed to have completed their lives in VA, but only one in Bedford County.
One child Peter Feller(b~1784) married Mildred Mason in Bedford County, VA on 27 Aug 1814.He also died in Bedford County.Hence the time is right and the location is right for Peter & Mildred to have parented your John Fellers(1822-1890).
To tie these families together definitively, I suspect you will have to find records of the Lutheran/Reformed Church in Bedford County.Before 1850, the US census will likely be of no help.
You should look at the 1870 census for Knox County, MO.You will find additional children of John & Elizabeth (Betsy) Feller.If you will give me a mailing address, I will send my file and a copy of the will of Peter Foeller(~1747-1801)

sammy, the stray i'm "fostering," had developed a strange lump on her head. it looked like a bug bite initially, but kept getting bigger and bigger, until it was golf ball sized the other night. in a surprising move on god's part, as soon as i said the words, "i will definitely take her to the vet, that isn't a bug bite or a knock on the head," the cat proceeded to scratch the thing open and leak a delightful mixture of pus and blood everywhere.
now, i've had a pile of cats and dogs throughout my life, and while this is a disgusting thing to have occur, it's actually an okay thing--once the wound is reopened, it can drain. the problem was, sammy, normally a very sweet little thing, was very bothered by anything we used to try to help clean the wound. she continued to make the injury worse, so after a bit over 24 hours of this, i took her to the vet.
the veterinary saga began on the j train on the way home. i probably should've taken this odd occurence as a sign of more ridiculousness to come (usually it piles on). a teenage girl wandered in, straight up wearing a prom dress. at 1 pm. she also had mussed up make-up and hair going on, and looked a bit sleep deprived. i texted some friends inquiring if this was the worst walk of shame they'd ever heard of; richard said no. using more delicate terms than he did, the prom dress as a modern day equivalent to bloody sheets hanging out the matrimonial window seemed an exciting prospect.
i put this out of my mind and go to collect the poor cat. the first driver (what, did you think i was going to haul a caged, injured cat all the way to williamsburg on the train? and then walk to grand from the j? in 85 degree heat?) refused to take me because of the cat, because he was afraid of cats. even, i guess, caged ones. the second driver was very helpful: he opened the door for me, chatted a bit, and really went out of his way to get to the animal hospital quickly. At which point, he leaned over and gave me his telephone number in case i wanted to "hang out." if i call and his wife answers, i'm to hang up the phone immediately.
inside the vet's office, there is a tiny black fluffy dog which is pooping styrofoam. i will say no more about this other than i saw it do it. "styrofoam" is not a metaphor here.
sammy is now at the vet's office overnight. apparently the bump on her head was a bite that didn't heal properly, from before we took her in last week, and got worse (possibly because we introduced the concept of cat litter into her life shortly after she received the bite). as it turns out, this bite was most likely given to her by her boyfriend (in the words of the strangely antonio banderasesque vet). while he was impregnanting sammy. did you know that kitties can get abortions? i didn't, but now i do! thankfully, the vet decided to not charge me for some services, and give me breaks for others. suave method of flirtation or genuine sympathy for the dumb blonde who couldn't even tell her stupid stray foster cat was pregnant? you be the judge.
leaving the cat there overnight allowed me another chance to ride on the subway. sitting across from me was a person who i initially thought was male, wearing a t-shirt that said "i hate crooked cops." this sentiment was illustrated with a picture of a smurf.
all of this before 4pm! excitement never ends. i'll let ice cube express my opinion of today; he does so more eloquently and succinctly than i (obviously) can.

I live on the Wirral, or in the Wirral or in Wirral depending upon your sense of geography. It's a small peninsular in the North West of England about 10 miles by seven; the River Dee separates us from the Roman city of Chester and the hills of North Wales; the River Mersey from the city of Liverpool and motorways Northwards.
Out to the West, Liverpool Bay leads into the Irish Sea and across to Ireland herself. Theoretically, I am told, it's almost an island as two ship canals come to a point where you can step from one to the other but the transport links of motorways and trains seem to defy that particular definition.
|Across to the Welsh Hills
The Wirral is still mostly suburban or countryside, originally part of a hunting forest that was planted in the 12th Century. It has been home to Roman, Saxon, Viking and Norman settlers. Pre-Roman it was home to a Celtic tribe called the Cornovii and there is evidence of Christian Celts from the the 5th and 6th Century in the round celtic churchyards in some of the local villages. From around 1200AD, Benedictine houses provided hospitals, supported a leper colony and provided a cross river ferry to and from Liverpool.
Like most locals I have been guilty of taking all of this for granted. I love living where I live but had made limited connections between my own spirituality and that that surrounds me preferring to go further afield to find sacred space until this summer when the opportunity simply wasn't there.
Thank to the nature of the landscape - the name Wirral comes from 'Wirheal' meaning bog-myrtle and suggests that the area was unsuitable for faming or building - the later creation of the hunting forest (being good for nothing else) and the fact that the Wirral has been (and still is in part) controlled by a few wealthy landowners - much of the countryside is unspoilt and protected as nature reserves .
St Patrick's Well isn't my nearest space but the one I would probably have never visited if I hadn't made the commitment to 'look at the ground beneath my feet'.
Part of the nature reserve - known as the 'Wirral Way' - travels through Bromborough, about five miles from my home.
Bromborough is one of the possible sites of an epic battle in 937, the Battle of Brunanburh, This is the first battle where England came together as one country, to fight the combined forces of the Norsemen and the Scots, and historians consider it the birthplace of England; this area is known as Dibbinsdale being centred around the River Dibbin. It's a mixture of meadow, riverside wetland and retains some of the ancient woodland of the 12th Century forest.
A breath of water and woodland surrounded by busy rush hour traffic; industrial units and a shopping outlet; I have driven past hundreds of times always on my way to 'somewhere else'.
This summer I turned into the sandstone lined lane; came to a halt in the tree encircled car park and took a look at the reserve map with the philosophical comment 'you are here'.
And on one of the many woodland walks there was a label and a small detour over a wooden bridge to a spot marked 'St Patrick's Well'.
St Patrick is reputed to have blessed this well, a scarce source of fresh water at the time, before his mission to Ireland in 432. Tradition or otherwise - this little corner has kept the title ever since.
Water has always been a sacred place in pagan and celtic spirituality. It would make perfect sense as the celts moved from pagan to Christian belief to have their source of water blessed by a man who embodied the strengths of the Druids and the Christian faith. You would wonder why it wasn't more famous; why, indeed, it didn't have it's own pilgrimage trail.
On seeing the sign I was a little hesitant to go further; what if it was neglected; vandalised; graffittied? What if it was a dreadful disappointment? What if it wasn't even there?
But it was; the walk lead downhill into a sandstone gorge. I found myself following a path below the surface of the modern road - beside the path the runoff from the rain mingled with the cascades of a brook that widened into small river. An arrowed sign that seemed to lead nowhere and there it was - a small squared-off entrance with markers of ancient masonery held in the grip of the deep roots of a beech tree. The water clear and bright above the debris of nature's leavings - seed pods, twigs, leaves and crab apples.
A certain neglectful elegance; a stillness; a sense of presence that was both spiritual and remarkably mundane.
There was nowhere to sit apart from the floor and the weather wasn't kind - leaning against the rocky outcrop the sound of the traffic above faded into a quiet humm. Any sense of moving on disappeared; stillness descended.
As dogwalkers and bmx bikers passed by there was a sense of timelines crossing; boundaries being pulled down. Sixteen hundred years plus of people coming to the Well; a place of life, of faith, of hope. And here I am today seeking the same refreshment of life.
Even if Patrick hadn't been here although there was a plain-ness and a practicality that would have certainly suited his spirituality - this place, this water was valued; was important; was sacred in a discrete way; sacred enough to remain inviolate. Somewhat returned to Creation; but why not? Why not?
God in the Everyday; the Everywhere - in a walk through woodland or sitting in a ancient church. Holy men and women have come before us whether or not we know their names - we are all part of a greater realm - we just have to take the time to step out of the normal way of things now and again.
This visit came at the end of the summer but brought a good lesson - the history I told you about at the beginning is as rich and as varied as any country; any part of this country. Perhaps we should first know where we come from?
As Mary Oliver says:
"Instructions for living a life.
Pay attention.
Be astonished.
Tell about it."

Review: Feral by James DeMonaco and Brian Evenson
Summary from Goodreads.com
Publication Date April 4, 2017
From James DeMonaco, the writer/director of The Purge film franchise, comes the provocative and terrifying last stand of a lone outpost of women in the wake of a deadly pandemic.
Allie Hilts was still in high school when a fire at a top-secret research facility released an air-borne pathogen that quickly spread to every male on the planet, killing most. Allie witnessed every man she ever knew be consumed by fearsome symptoms: scorching fevers and internal bleeding, madness and uncontrollable violence. The world crumbled around her. No man was spared, and the few survivors were irrevocably changed. They became disturbingly strong, aggressive, and ferocious. Feral.
Three years later, Allie has joined a group of hardened survivors in an isolated, walled-in encampment. Outside the guarded walls the ferals roam free, and hunt. Allie has been noticing troubling patterns in the ferals' movements, and a disturbing number of new faces in the wild. Something catastrophic is brewing on the horizon, and time is running out. The ferals are coming, and there is no stopping them.
With Feral, writer/director James DeMonaco and acclaimed novelist Brian Evenson have created a challenging and entertaining novel of timely horror and exhilarating suspense."
Review: The premise of this was really interesting. The POV switched between characters and 1st and 3rd person and was sometimes confusing. Also, epilogue was the title of the first part and prologue was the title of the last bit, while that may be some clever twist possibly, it's not something that is easily seen and may confuse some readers. I felt if the POV switched between just Allie and Kim and stayed consistent, 1st or 3rd not both, it would have read better. Possibly putting the Dr.'s POV in letters would have made sense. Overall, loved the story and seeing as how it was written by someone who has done a movie before I would love to see this as a film, it kinda reads like one.

Up to this point, life had been a continual battle of hopelessness, confusion, depression,shame, anxiety, you name it. Marriage was a constant exercise in fear. Although I still loved Min as a person, the effort of trying to be a straight husband was tearing me apart. I think she understood to a degree, and often called me asexual, simply because I had to turn off any sexuality in order to survive.
But it produced a very difficult dynamic, and a sense of continual disappointment in both of us.
Who else?(For Min)
Just when you thought,
I know you, but I don't - we don't.
I think I'm comfortable, but stretch me,
But you are here for more than that
My anchor
Patient lover
Who else would bleed for me like you?
Sacrifice so much...
See through me, love me, by my side
My poppy blown in the wind, but strong and tall –
Trampled by my thoughtless feet,
But nurtured to blossom bright again
by the tender handed Gardner
A bruised reed – unbroken
Your eyes open me, melt me, expose me, fill me
Who else could there be?
Who else could be there?
I kept a journal off and on over the years. I would start with lots of passion and determination to pour out my heart so that I could look back and thank God for the progress in my life, but it ended up a never ending exercise in depression.Simply flicking back to older entries sent me spiralling downhill, seeing that nothing ever changed. The same battles, the same pseudo victories, the same positive self-talk, the same disillusionment, the same defeat and depression –in never ending cycles. Someone said doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result was actually insanity! Well, I guess I was insane!
I'd look back over all the endless sermon notes, all meaningless christianese jargon that had absolutely no correlation to what was going on inside me.
My poor family had to bear the brunt of my depression, and I'm amazed at how well my son has survived through it all! He was dragged from pillar to post, through boring meetings, intense groups, music rehearsals and services. And he survived our endless arguments, and my angry outbursts of frustration. I must say that he has grown into an amazingly strong young man with a big heart.

The Outback of Australia
I know what you're thinking. This has been done a million times. Yep, and now it's a million and one. What can I say? I need the practice. Anyway, where was I? Ahh yes, the Australian Outback, home to such tourist attractions as the most dangerous snake in the world, the hottest place on the earth, and man-eating crocodiles. If that does not get you pumped for some fun in the Aussie sun, how about the Sydney Funnel Web Spider, capable of killing a person within 15 minutes of a bite.
Let's start with the infamous Inland Taipan. This snake is considered the most poisonous in the world. A fang full of its killer juice could do in 100 people, no problem. Lets put that into perspective, shall we? I'm from Arizona, a place that is no stranger to venomous snakes, however, the bane of the Inland Taipan is 50 times more toxic than that of most rattlesnakes. Ouch! Okay, no worries mate, we'll just watch where we step.
Who doesn't like a day in the sun? Warm temps, no rain. Sounds great. In 2003, according to MODIS, the hottest place on the earth was in Queensland, Australia with a temperature of 157 degrees! Are you kidding me? 157 degrees! That, my friend, is ridiculous unless, of course, you fancy trying to fry an egg on your forehead. No thanks!
No big deal, right, we'll just take a quick dip in the creek and cool down. Yeah, you might want to reconsider before stripping down to your skivvies and taking the plunge. Lurking just below the surface, thinking that you look very much like a big juicy strip from The Outback Steakhouse, may be a man-eating crocodile. Australian saltwater crocodiles kill 1.5 people a year. I guess the other .5 is that guy who only lost his lower half. Australian crocodiles are the largest reptile on the earth. The males can get as big as 21 feet long and weigh a ton. So it would be like being eaten by a Hummer. With teeth. Big, sharp teeth.
So, if your first name is "Johnny" and your last name ends in "ously" or your idea of a close shave involves one of those knives they sell on the Shopping Network, you know, the ones with the compass in the end, then the Australian Outback is just the place for you. As for me, this is one of the many places I have never visited, and that's just fine.

hahaha... me either!
I watched Survivor Australia several years ago and came to the same conclusion... same feelings about Survivor Africa - versions 1 & 2...
give me Survivor Hawaii... all you need is some cash and the willingness to shop, sunbathe and eat!

That sounds good to me!

Hey, good to hear from you. Australia is on my top five list of places I'd like to visit someday, but I think I'll steer clear of the Outback - snakes, spiders and crocs, no thank you. A rattlesnake is the only poisonous snake I've ever encountered and I hope to keep it that way. :)

Hi Dina, good to hear from you too!

Alright guys, I know I've been slacking on my blog lately. With 5 boys and a few scares of the swine flu, it's been a couple hectic months! Last year I used to do a monthly feature including some of my most favorite Etsy sellers and their products. I love selling on Etsy, but the most fun part is all the buying! I find it so fascinating how each item I have ever received from Etsy has been wonderful and you can really tell just how much detail and care that are put into each product.
This month I want to feature Ophelia over at opheliasapothecary. I recently purchased a Perfume and Fragrance Sampler "Try before you buy". I have never purchased handmade perfume before so I figured since the price was sooooo great I really couldn't pass it up! I ordered two and was able to choose the scents! I chose Ralph Lauren Romance & Apple Orchard.
I was so excited when it came in the mail. I opened the package and OMG..you would not believe the packaging! That in it's self I think was the most well done packaging I have received so far since buying on Etsy! The scents come in great sample size bottles with cute tags marked for scent. (she also threw in a x-tra scent) hehe, it's called Starry Night. Oh my, they all smell so so good! I'm normally very picky when it comes to scents. But these smell AWESOME!! I think my favorite (if I HAD to choose) would be the one she threw in for free...Starry Night! They also all came in an attractive silver tin to keep them all together and to top it all off she included a handwritten note thanking me for my purchase. This seller is a true class act and takes pride in each & every item that she sells. I'm definatly going back for more!
The Interview:
Tell us more about you name, location ect.
*I moved to kansas city about 10 years ago for my career, and ended up staying!
How did you first hear about Etsy?
*I think I heard about it when shopping one day. Someone asked me if I had and Etsy store....and I said 'no, but maybe i need one!'
What is the meaning behind your shop name?
*I totally fell in love with the name in high school when reading the play, Hamlet, in my english class. I decided back then, that if I had an alter ego, 'Ophelia' would be her name.
What inspires you?
*mainly greek mythology and Shakespeare. ...oh, and music. I can get lost in creating fragrances and blending oils. I get in this zone, and hours can pass before i realize how long i've been in my studio!
Aside from creating things, What do you do?
*play with my miniature doxies, watch old movies, and clean.....I'm alittle OCD! lol.
What advice would you give to artists who are new to Etsy?
*take beautiful pictures, set your standards early for your shop {even before your first sale}, and never~ever fall below your standards...set goals for yourself....you are the only one that can hold yourself accountable! Know what your niche is....brand yourself, and do it well. Two major Don'ts: don't go to the forums and complain about lack of sales....this time would be better well spent working on things you can control....photos, descriptions, branding, or building positive business partnerships. and the second don't....don't try to sell your product by putting down other sellers or competitors. sell on your product features and benefits...know your product and business well. Discrediting others and their practices makes you look bad.
How do you promote?
*I actually don't....I try to be helpful in the forums and I renew often. But, my number one, best advice for selling.....is to list something new every day. When I'm in the zone, and get something new listed regularly...sales seem to follow!
Ten years from now you would like to be?
*healthy, happy, and in love. I have some pretty major medical issues so ten years would be a gift in and of itself!
So get on over to Etsy and check out opheliasapothecary, you will not be disappointed!

Well, I'll admit my secret..I am hooked on this ABC family show. I am about one season behind, and recommend this show to anyone who likes cheesy teen drama's mixed with a little mystery and a little that absolutely cannot happen.
Spill ladies, do you watch? What other shows are you almost too embarrassed to admit you like but then can talk for hours about it??

The 2010 World Cup is over but it doesn't mean that the soccer frenzy is gone – Play With Love is back with a special scene of Soccer & World of Cups. Yes, it's cold and snowy outside the house where the players hold their little meeting of four today but it surely won't stop them from playing some foosball. The game is perfect for two couples – there won't be any long pauses between the actions and it means that the whole thing is going to be just sizzling hot, even in spite of the weather outside. The ones who will make an attempt to recreate the usual atmosphere of the Cup are Nico and Tommy, both accompanied by their gorgeous girlfriends. Their sexy ladies are so different from each other, by the way. Nico's sweetheart Giggy is a delicate dark-haired shortie and Tommy's girlfriend Kitty is a tall supermodel-like blond beauty with a body that surely does deserve being called perfect. She even seems to be taller than the guys – how will they manage to get it on with her? Time to get this question answered. The whistle blows, the players are on the field – the game of lust and pure passion is starting!

and welcome to my blog. Today, I'd like to share a tag with you.
I used Color Burst for background then cut it with the MFT PCD TRAD Tags dies set. I used the trees and deer from the Sizzix Winter Deer Die. The little ground snow sections were cut using my deckle scissors. I adhered them on the tag then added some glitter glue and irresistible texture spray as snow. Lastly I stamped the sentiment from the Penny Black Season's gifts stamps set.
Hope you like it.
Thanks so much for stopping by & have a nice day!
Hugs & Love
Proud to enter my card into the following challenges:

Waiting for the Fed – What Traders Should Be WatchingToni Turner Follow |
The erratic behavior of the markets in recent weeks has added to the growing uncertainty for traders and investors. Have stocks bottomed from the correction or will there be another leg lower as the Federal Reserve is expected to make its latest announcement? In our latest interview with Toni Turner of TrendStar Trading Group, we discuss how traders may want to approach the market over the next week.
EQ: Since bouncing off the lows of the recent correction, the S&P 500 has managed to stay above the 1900 level on a closing basis. What areas of support and resistance are you watching?
Turner: For resistance, I'm watching 1990 and for support I'm watching 1867 on the S&P 500. This isn't my favorite price pattern and it currently doesn't make me bullish. I'm waiting for it to prove itself. If it wants to stay to in the bull market that it has enjoyed, we need to see it rise above 1990, or to be safe, close above 2000 and stay there. Right now I'm watchful and very cautious.
EQ: Next week is a big week for the Fed and its rate hike timeline. Does this have any influence on how you're approaching the market the next several days?
Turner: Yes, it does. I'm staying very conservative. I am executing some short-term trades but I intend to have a good portion of cash raised by the end of this week or the start of next week—and I'm well on my way to that already. I may lose some opportunity, but as I've said before, I've found that missed opportunity is much easier to make up than lost money. I don't think anyone knows what the Fed is going to do. They themselves may not even know at this moment in time. As you know, the market really dislikes uncertainty, and right now, the chart of the S&P 500 as well as many other indices are broadcasting uncertainty. So for me and my students, it's a good time to be conservative and, as they say, keep our powder dry for when the opportunities are better.
EQ: Oil prices are still way off on the year but it does seem like it has stabilized since late August. Can it hold this level?
Turner: I would like for it to hold this level, but I'm not sure that it's going to do so. Oil prices typically spike in August, but my concern is that, seasonally speaking, oil prices usually soften in the fourth quarter and then start rising again in January. Of course, we've had this selloff in oil over the last year, and now with the Iran nuclear deal finding support, we know that Iran's oil will be coming back on the market shortly. With that, combined with seasonality and the global slowdown evidently happening, I suspect that oil could retrace here at least one more time before it finds its actual bottom.
EQ: What sector or industry group are you watching now?
Turner: I'm not necessarily buying anything, but I've been watching the iShares U.S. Home Construction ETF (ITB). If it I have admired how it's managed to hold up through the volatility that we've experienced in the last three weeks and may be interested in it if it can hold above $27. I am also keeping an eye on the iShares U.S. Aerospace & Defense ETF (ITA), more specifically, I'm watching Rockwell Collins (COL) and looking for a pullback in Raytheon (RTN). . Again, do not plan to acquire new long positions until after the Fed's decision.
Also, the iShares U.S. Real Estate ETF (IYR) and the Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLU) have both sold off dramatically this year and in particularly in the last three weeks. So if we do not get a rate hike, I will be all over these two after the Fed announcement like white on rice!

LONDON (Reuters) - Banks must report a minimum set of data on their derivatives trades from the end of next year to help regulators monitor financial stability and spot abuses, a draft plan from market supervisors and central bankers said on Wednesday.
Regulators want a full picture of the $600 trillion off-exchange derivatives market at all times by requiring banks to provide transaction details to repositories.
Supervisors were alarmed during the financial crisis when they were not able to quickly see who was exposed to U.S. bank Lehman Brothers when it collapsed in September 2008, which hampered their policy response.
The Group of 20 leading economies (G20) called in 2009 for derivatives to be centrally cleared and transactions reported to repositories by the end of 2012.
Several repositories have already been set up for different types of derivatives, such as the Trade Information Warehouse for credit default swaps and the Equity Derivatives Reporting Repository, both run by U.S. DTCC.
The Committee on Payment and Settlement Systems (CPSS) of central bankers and the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) want lenders to report trades according to global minimum requirements from the end of 2012.
Current formats are based on voluntary agreements with banks and regulators want a consistent set of information.
"The proposed requirements and data formats will apply to both market participants reporting to trade repositories and to trade repositories reporting to the public and to regulators," the CPSS-IOSCO report said.
"The report also finds that certain information currently not supported by TRs would be helpful in assessing systemic risk and financial stability," it added.
The extra details regulators want include:
— current exposure, netting and collateralization details on bilateral portfolios of off-exchange transactions;
— current market values of individual open OTC derivatives transactions;
— information on collateral assets that are applied to OTC derivatives portfolios, including the valuation and disposition of these assets.
Frederic Hervo, a CPSS member from the Banque de France, said that so far there is no deadline for reporting this "value added" information above the planned minimum requirements.
CPSS-IOSCO also wants a global system for tagging each trade to identify the counterparties from the end of 2012.
"What would be consistent is to have an international legal entity identifiers in place when the minimum reporting requirements are enforcable," Hervo said.
Regulators also want progress on a global system for classifying OTC derivatives contracts by the end of next year, Hervo added.
Banks face higher data collection costs and Hervo said they have an opportunity in the public consultation to air their views on costs and benefits of what's being proposed.

March 1st
The alarm clock goes off at 4:30 a.m.
You wanna know my first thought; is this what early morning looks like?
Arielle pulls in at 5 a.m. We pick up Rachelle by 5:30. Everything's going smoothly. We're right on time. Ten hours didn't seem so bad when we were two hours in, but ten hours is hell when there's only two hours left. Especially when there's stop and go traffic.
So we decide to pull into the closest hotel with the best rating. It's in the downtown Athens area, close to where we plan on spending our stay, but it's shady looking, rundown and not in that artsy vintage type of way.
The three of us walk in to pay ($62 a night; not bad, right?) and then we're on our way to our room. Except that there's no elevator, and each of us has a 50lb bag on us. But it's only on the second floor and we're not pansies, so we lug our stuff up and make it to our room in one piece, all the while hoping the room doesn't smell funny. And it doesn't, thank God. But it's gross. And there's no lock on the door.The bathroom is barely big enough to sit in and the shower is non-existant. But there's a large flat-screen TV so HALLELUJAH. Just kidding. We booked it outta there faster than you can say bless your heart.
The lady gave us a refund without question, in fact looking relieved that we were leaving. That solidified our decision.
Until we drove down the road and stopped at a much nicer looking Holiday Inn, and the front desk receptionist proceeded to tell us that there were no rooms available at any hotel in Athens. "There's a school convention," she told us. Of course.
Finally, after honing my skills of persuasion, we managed to snag a room at a decent Days Inn.
The smell of a hundred wildflower fields hit us like a brick wall upon walking into our room.
"They're trying to hide something," Arielle said.
Hungry and desperate to walk around, we got back in the car and went downtown to find some food. But it was only 38 degrees outside, and these Florida girls were not prepared.
It gave us an excuse to walk into any open building, which led us to find some pretty cool places.
We ate at the best mexican restaurant ever. (How is it that Georgians do Mexican better than we do?)
Had classic lemon drop shots at the Georgia Bar. Played pool at the Boar's Head Lounge.
Made up fake names and fake occupations at Whiskey Bent.
It was a successful night in downtown Athens.
Back at the hotel, the smell of flowers is gone, replaced by a totally different kind of plant smell- marijuana. I swear we were getting second-hand high from our neighbors.
And to make matters worse, they decided to let us know how much they loved each other.
Nothing a little bit of banging on the wall on our part didn't fix.
The next day consisted of walking from the hotel back to downtown, finding some really cool shops and really nice people, and the best fried chicken and collard greens in the south.
We were back on the road by 3 p.m. and headed to Knoxville.
Despite the cold, Athens melted our hearts.

Paul & DerekReleased | 16 627 views
Wow, this was unexpected!
I kind of figured that Derek was a "top only" kind of guy. Derek comes across as very serious and somewhat aggressive. He's a big guy with big muscles and I just assumed that he wasn't going to be that flexible.
So, imagine my surprise when Derek not only asked if he could get fucked, but he was actually excited about it!
"My girlfriend uses dildos on me all the time," he said. "It feels good. I'm ready to try the real thing."
So appearances can be deceiving! Derek is actually a really sweet guy and the only aggressiveness I've seen from him was here... he's actually a very enthusiastic bottom!
Paul is also a really sweet guy. He's taller and a bit younger than Derek, but I just knew he would appreciate tapping a huge, muscular ass for his first time!
I loved the interaction between these two. They were talking and laughing like old friends.
Paul got the lotion out and gave Derek a nice muscle massage.
"Wow, I needed that," Derek said with a big smile.
Then Paul got his dick sucked. This was a little big challenging because Derek has braces. Paul wasn't that concerned, but Derek was a little cautious at first.
Now, Paul likes it a bit rough, so he told Derek exactly what he wanted.
"Pull harder," he told Derek, who was tugging on his balls. "Grip my balls. Pull them down."
The best part, though, was when Paul finally got to fuck Derek's ass. Paul really slammed him. And Derek really loved it!

Subyek: (Marketing) 10 surefire ways to alienate your clients
11th July 2011, 14:35
1: Be perpetually late
That's right. I know support engineers who are constantly late for their appointments. But what can you do? You're working one appointment and it's taking longer than you thought. When that first appointment looks like it's going to eat into the time of the next appointment, the only professional thing to do is to call the next appointment and let them know that something has detained you. This way, you can reschedule their appointment if necessary, giving them top priority. That last bit is crucial, as the lost time/work must be made up to them somehow, and making sure they get priority is the best way to do this.
2: Badmouth other clients
What exactly do you think goes through the minds of your clients when they hear you badmouthing other clients? They think one simple thing: "I wonder what they say about me?" And they would certainly be justified in wondering that. So ask yourself a question: What purpose does speaking poorly of other clients serve? I'm guessing the answer to the question will be "None." Your best bet is to avoid speaking of your clients to other clients. Besides, if you don't have anything good to say…
3: Send in late or incorrect bills
Billing is one of the more uncomfortable aspects of business to some people. But it is an inevitability. If you want to pay your bills, your invoices must be sent and paid. But sending out late or incorrect invoices will only frustrate and anger your clients. Create a billing policy and stick to it. Make sure billing is sent within 24 to 48 hours and no later. And always, always double-check your invoices. Incorrect work will delay the payment process, so bill correctly the first time.
4: Make excuses for not fixing a problem
We all occasionally come up against something we simply can't fix. No one is 100% capable 100% of the time. And when you're confounded, don't make up excuses. Your best bet is to do one of two things: Inform the client you are going to need more time to research the particular problem or bring in another engineer to take a look. There's no shame in knowing your limitations, and your clients will appreciate your being up front and honest instead of wasting billable hours trying to fix something you have no idea how to fix.
5: Sell unnecessary hardware and software
A new client we brought into the company had six Windows servers running, each running a different purpose. Had this client been a large company, I would understand the need for such hardware. But this was a beauty salon, and it would have been fine with just a single SBS box. When they found out they were sold far more hardware than necessary, they were furious. And you can bet they spread the word that their previous support company isn't trustworthy and should be avoided at all costs. Don't do this. Don't oversell hardware because you have a client with deep pockets. Sell the client what they need, not what will pay for your second mortgage.
6: Fail to make (or keep) backups
My primary job is monitoring and fixing backups form more than 60 clients. I have to make sure those backups run smoothly every day or else things could get seriously ugly. What happens when a client loses a server and the backup is out of date? Whose fault is that? Who's going to get blamed and lose income and clients? It certainly isn't the client. If you are supposed to be backing up your clients servers, make sure those backups succeed every time they run.
7: Lose client data
Along the same line as backups is client data. That data is precious cargo to the client. If you lose it, the client may not be able to do business. If you have important data in your hands (be it on an external drive or sitting on one of your in-house servers), make sure that data is secure and backed up. Do not ever lose client data… for any reason.
8: Be rude to client employees
Employees talk. If you're rude to a client's employees, they will march right up the food chain to make sure what you said is passed on to those who make the hiring/firing decisions. And you will be let go for it. Companies tend to be very protective of their employees when it comes to outside influences. When you have any contact with employees of a client, treat them with the same respect you show the person who hired you for the job.
9: Hit on client employees
In the same vein as above, do not hit on employees of a client. I don't care if you're staring into the liquid eyes of a supermodel look-alike, keep the social interaction out of the equation or you might well find yourself on the business end of a pink slip — or worse. In fact, I would take this one step further by saying don't fraternize with the employees of clients, even outside the business place. Should that relationship go south, so too will your relationship with the client.
10: Give out client information
I shouldn't have to say this, but I have witnessed it firsthand. If you have information about a client (be it personal, professional, legal, or illegal) do not, I repeat, do not give that information to anyone else. In some cases, there is an implied confidentiality shared between you and your client. In other cases, there is an explicit confidentiality shared (complete with your signature on it) between you and your client. Violating this confidentiality could not only cause you to lose much needed business, it could also land you in court. Don't do it. Don't think about doing it. Don't even pretend to think about doing it.
Jn 3:16 For God so loved the world, as to give his only begotten Son; that whosoever believeth in him, may not perish, but may have life everlasting.

Addiction Counselor
John Genereux, LIMHP, LADC, LPC
Licensed Independent Mental Health Practictioner, Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor
In 68005 - Nearby to Bennington.
I am a licensed alcohol and drug counselor in the state of Nebraska. I also have experience working with other addictions to include gambling, sex, porn, food, and shopping. I believe that addictive behaviors are just poor coping skills for other issues going on in one's life. However if not treated people can become addicted and require more intense treatment. I am also able to complete Substance Abuse or Chemical Dependency Evaluations. I offer education and level one out patient treatment. I have a long history working with the court system as well.
Addiction Counselor
Jennifer Francke, LIMHP, LPC, LADC
Licensed Professional Counselor
In 68144 - Nearby to Bennington.
If you are struggling with substance abuse or addiction you are certainly not alone! Whether you are court-ordered to complete a treatment program or you are seeking it all on your own, I can help. I offer substance abuse evaluations, level 1 outpatient treatment and substance abuse counseling from a compassionate, nonjudgmental and trauma-informed perspective. Please contact me for more information about my substance abuse and addiction services.
Addiction Counselor
Brian Hofsommer, LIMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist
Everyone is addicted to something because everyone experiences pain and has to find a way to soothe that pain. However, sometimes the solution to our pain becomes more painful than the pain itself. That is when the spiral of addiction begins and the need for outside help begins. The journey to sobriety is not just about self-control. It is about challenging the pain in your life and healing that pain so that your drug of choice is no longer needed. Once that happens, we will put in place the necessary support to keep the chains of addiction from enslaving you again.
Addiction Counselor
Scott Panning, MA, PLMHP
Provisionally Licensed Mental Health Professional
In 68116 - Nearby to Bennington.
Addiction finds a foothold in our lives most easily when we are trying to avoid dealing with something difficult. It could be an avoidance of dealing with stress from work, an avoidance of processing a tragedy in our lives, or an avoidance of intimacy in relationships. In counseling, we can expect to talk about specific ways to deal with addiction, such as avoiding triggers, having a back-up plan, etc., and we can also expect to discuss what the role of this addiction is in your life, and what it is helping you to avoid. It is only through dealing with those difficult situations in life in a direct, healthy way that addiction can be replaced with something real.
Addiction Counselor
Dena Crosby, MS, LIMHP, LPC
Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner
We can easily become mastered by many things. when this mastery becomes habitual, repetitious and difficult if not impossible to control...regardless of the consequences...then we may have an addiction problem. Addiction treatment may be difficult but it can be very successful and rewarding. Through individual work, education and support you can be free of what has you bound.
Addiction Counselor
Joan Elizabeth Fink-Arney, M.S., LMHP, LPC, NCC, CST
Licensed Mental Health Practitioner
Many people experience difficulty controlling their sexual impulses or compulsions, to a point that enjoyable and normal healthy behaviors become excessive, recurring, out of control, intense and distressing. Often these behaviors may interfere with their relationships, their careers or other parts of their lives and are often associated with anxiety, embarrassment, and shame. Compulsive sexual behavior can affect both men and women, and people of any sexual orientation. This behavior is marked by sexual impulses and/or compulsions that feel overwhelming and out of control, and often leads individuals to engage in risky and dangerous activities. Common indicators that compulsive sexual behavior is a problem in your life: Do you feel guilty or ashamed...(view profile to read more)
Addiction Counselor
Steve Brownrigg, NCC, LADC, LMHP
Licensed Alcohol & Drug Counselor, Licensed Mental Health Practitioner
Steve Brownrigg has developed his unique and truly "evidence based" approach to the treatment of Addictions and Substance Use Disorders. It involves guided, deep assessment of what clients have been trying to gain through the use of substances, and then devising replacement strategies that work better in their lives. Steve also encourages and facilitates 12-Step involvement to enhance the learning process. Treatment also involves learning new coping skills, creating new behaviors and adding supportive relationships in their lives. If necessary, Trauma Resolution is a frequent last phase of therapy. Unresolved Trauma is a frequent cause of repeated failure to maintain quality recovery.

First of all your not a hybrid your a destro lock. Second of all i dont know if mirari looked at your build but i noticed some big mistakes.
1. You go for improved corruption=big mistake becouse curse of agony now is way much better then corruption and now works with the glyps of agony. As a destro lock you need to keep your dots up as much as posibile for molten core to proc as often as it can and the best dot for it is curse of agony+the glyps you get a dot that stays much more on the target then corruption so in affliction you shood go for improved curse of agony not corruption.
2. In demo tree you got improved imp and in destro you got 2 points in demonic power wich is good but you left Empowerd imp untuched wich is one of the moust important talents in destro becouse when your imp crits you crit so that is a big minus in your build. if you dont want to go with Empowerd imp then improved imp and demonic power is a waste of point so you got 5 ussles talent points.
3. Shadowfury and Shadowburn are ussles in raiding. Yes sometimes shadowfury is good when you want to aoe but rain of fire is way much better so another 2 points that are yousless in your build.
PS: I dont know about this guy you shood think your talent build not just copy paste it. You need to do a lot of changes in your talent trees to get max dps. i dont know about your gameplay and i think you desirve a chance becouse we are low on warlocks. But you shood wait for an officer decision. GL and think about the sugestion that i gave you.

Look,about the age conflict here's what i think:
1)I don't agree with darky's statement, the game is for everyone to play. However it's our decision if we accept to play with him or not.
2)Solymir said something really interesting on vent some days ago : look for people in arena teams with 1.9K+ rating,even if they are kids,it means he is
thinking right
,he is smart.A good PvP-er will always be a good PvE-er even tho it doesn't work the other way around. That being said,i TOTALLY have to agree with him and personally i'd take a smart kid anytime of the day over a guy who can't move in "lava waves" after 100 attempts.
3)It's true that many under 18,are either emo,either not serios,either just plain immature when it comes to logic. But that's not always the case.
About Immolate,it's Mirari's decision BUT never judge people cos of age.
Subject: Re: Re application Warlock Hybrid
Fri Jan 23, 2009 1:22 pm
I may look as a cold hearted bastard for judging ppl after their age. Im sure there are a lot of kids with skills and the brains to handle this game at 110%. The part that most fail at is comunity skills, turning into drama queens and so on. Maybe its only me that had this problem in the past. Im only talking from my own personal point of view.

Bethenny Frankel got married, had a baby and documented it on her own Bravo reality show. But the Housewife isn't forgetting about her roots: she's going to be re-joining The Real Housewives of New York City next season, according to one of her costars.
"Bethenny will come on a little bit. We need a Bethenny moment," Ramona Singer tells PEOPLE about the show's upcoming fourth season, adding that the other women – Alex McCord, Kelly Bensimon, Jill Zarin, Sonja Morgan and Countess LuAnn de Lesseps – "have been renewed."
In June, Frankel said she didn't see herself returning as a Housewife unless there were a few key changes. De Lesseps at the time also said she was unsure about her future with the hit Bravo show.
But now it looks like the seven women won't be alone.
"One or two new castmates" will be joining the crew, says Singer – but that doesn't necessarily mean there will be more drama.
"I think we're going to have some good energy," she said on Sunday while sitting front row at the Rebecca Taylor show during New York Fashion Week. "And I'm not going to let any bad energy come into the show."
Bravo, meanwhile, wouldn't comment on any casting discussions.
"No decisions have been made for the fourth season," a Bravo rep says.

Bengaluru: Toxic lake froth propels citizens to rise against civic authorities
| Updated: Dec 19, 2016 13:15 IST
Bengaluru (Karnataka)[India], Dec. 19(ANI): Residents of areas around Bengaluru's Varthur and Bellandur lakes have complained of foul smell and pollution emanating from these frothing water bodies post-Cyclone Vardah. A local group has written to the civic authorities, saying the matter requires immediate attention, especially as the city is expecting a dry summer. "There is nothing new but now pollution has increased as the lake smells bad, which is going to be harmful and something should be done," a resident said. "The lake stinks and causes diseases. Civic authorities are yet to take any action, but a few students are seen trying to clean the lakes sometimes," a local resident told ANI here. The toxic froth is caused by allowing untreated sewage water to flow into the lakes. It has spilled over onto roads and into drains around the lakes in the last two days. This has also led to poor visibility on roads, and motorists risk skidding while riding. The Bangalore Water Supply and Sewage Board had sent a tanker to sprinkle water and bring down the froth's intensity. A local group, 'Whitefield Rising', has written to the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) and the Karnataka Lake Conservation and Development Authority (KLCDA) to take cognizance of the issue. "This matter needs more attention, especially since we are looking at a dry summer," a member of Whitefield Rising said. "Wasting a resource as precious as water and dealing with health and safety issues alongside is not good." The lake must also be desilted and cleared of weeds like hyacinth to allow sun light to penetrate. The BBMP and BWSSB efforts to check frothing by spraying chemicals have failed. Municipal authorities need to install a sewerage treatment plant at Varthur Lake. The water body is supposed to be desilted every year, but the last time this was done was in 1970.(ANI)

In recent years, the ultrasonic elliptical vibration cutting (UEVC) technique has been found to be an efficient method for the ultraprecision machining of hard and brittle materials. During the machining at a given nominal depth of cut (DOC), the UEVC technique, because of its inherent mechanism, effectively reduces the thickness of cut (TOC) of the workpiece material through overlapping vibration cycles. For the ductile machining of hard and brittle materials, this TOC plays a critical role. However, the relationships between the nominal DOC, the TOC, and the relevant machining parameters have not yet been studied. In this study, the role playing machining parameters for the TOC are firstly investigated and then theoretical relations are developed for predicting the maximum TOC (TOCm) with respect to the relevant machining parameters. It is found that four machining parameters, namely, workpiece cutting speed, tool vibration frequency, and tangential and thrust directional vibration amplitudes, influence the TOCm. If the speed ratio (ratio of the workpiece cutting speed to the maximum tool vibration speed in the tangential direction) is within a critical value 0.12837, then a reduced TOCm can be obtained. It is also realized that if the TOCm can be kept lower than the critical DOC (DOCcr), then ductile finishing of brittle materials can be achieved. The above phenomenon has been substantiated by experimental findings while machining a hard and brittle material, sintered tungsten carbide. The findings suggest that the same concept can be applied for the ductile cutting of other hard and brittle materials.
Illustration of the UEVC principle

Romney Defends Small Businesses in Key Swing State
Portsmouth, NH - Striking a populist tone, Mitt Romney attacked President Obama's record on job creation, saying his administration has made it more difficult for small businesses in this country, and promised things would change under a Romney administration.
"Small business has really felt like it's been under attack over the past several years," Romney told a crowd of local fisherman and residents on a pier in Portsmouth, the state's largest coastal city. "If I become president of the United States, I am going to be a pro small business president and fight for the rights of small business people"
Acknowledging the recession contributed to a drop in small business startups, Romney placed a large portion of blame on President Obama's policies, including an increase in regulations put in place by Washington. "Regulators are just multiplying like proverbial rabbits and making it harder and harder for enterprises to grow and to understand what their future might be," Romney said.
In a response statement, Obama campaign spokesperson Lis Smith said Romney was "distorting" the President's record. "While initiating an overhaul of the regulatory system that cuts red tape and will save businesses $10 billion over the next five years, President Obama has also approved fewer new regulations than President George W. Bush did during the same time period in his term."
Romney was joined by New Hampshire Senator Kelly Ayotte, a potential Vice Presidential pick who has campaigned consistently with Romney since endorsing him in November of last year. But top Romney advisor and former New Hampshire Governor John Sununu threw water on speculation that this was a test-run for a Romney-Ayotte ticket, saying the Senator has already appeared "30 times" with Romney.
"It's nothing different than the sense that he's in a battleground state with a very important elected Senator from the battleground state," Sununu said. "When you go to the battleground states, you get as much of the powerhouses from the Party as you can on the stage."
This is Romney's second appearance in the Granite State in the last week, underscoring its importance for him during the general election - a strategy echoed by one of his senior campaign advisors during a forum hosted by Washington Post on Saturday.
President Obama carried New Hampshire by nearly 10 points in 2008, but the Romney campaign believes this state, along with Ohio, North Carolina, Virginia, and Nevada are in play come November.
New Hampshire has a large independent streak, having one of the highest number of undeclared voters of any state in the country. The campaign is banking on name recognition - Romney was the Governor of neighboring Massachusetts and owns a vacation home here - and a struggling economy to bring this group back into the fold.
However, if anything can be learned from 2008, this strategy will be tough to pull off. The state hasn't gone for a Republican candidate since President Bush in 2000. And Senator John McCain was a well-known figure in New Hampshire, having beaten President Bush in the 2000 primary and re-launching his presidential campaign after winning here in 2008 primary, but still lost the state by nearly double digits in November.
