I try to be aware in using animal products, as well in eating meat as in wearing leather items. It's an opinion you have to make up yourself and I don't know if it's a righteous product, but I love the texture of Stingray leather. I wouldn't want it as any accessory but as jewellery it gets all the attention it deserves.

Obesity is considered to be the most pressing health problem to face the human race today. But what exactly is obesity? It is a metabolic disease which is still not well understood and currently has no cure. The definition of obesity is ambiguous although it has traditionally been used to describe those who have a body mass index (BMI) of over 30 kg/m2. Obesity has also been used to describe men and women having a bodyfat of over 25% and 30%, respectively, and/or a waist circumference of over 40 inches and 35 inches, respectively.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the prevalence of obesity continues to grow as about one in every three American adults now has the disease. WHO has reported that at least 400 million adults in the world were obese in 2005 and that by 2015 at least 700 million adults in the world will be obese (WHO Media Centre, 2015). At least 300,000 deaths in the U.S. occur each year due to obesity-related causes (Mayo Clinic Staff, 2005).
Many causes or factors have been linked to the onset of obesity. Genetic predisposition, high-calorie diet, sedentary lifestyle behavior, excessive stress, and socioeconomic status have each played a role in increasing the likelihood of becoming obese. Increasing age is a risk factor for obesity due to a gradual lessoning of metabolic rate. More women than men then to become obese probably due to hormonal differences between the genders. Poor people are more prone to becoming obese because they eat processed, high-calorie, cheap food which contains more fat, sugar and salt than healthier, whole food. Protein hormones such as leptin, ghrelin and insulin have each been attributed to bodyfat storage. Research on mice (Enriori, et al., 2007, Cell Metabolism, 5(3), 181-194) has found that the resistance to leptin caused by obesity can cause the body to not respond to the appetite control center within the brain. The result is the body's inability to sense satiety or the feeling of fullness. Genes may determine the fat cell number and size within the body. The set-point theory takes the premise that we each have a certain bodyweight which is unique and governed by internal controls. Increased energy intake from the ready availability of fast food and cheap high-fat, processed food certainly increases the risk of obesity. Excessive alcohol and sugar consumption is a major problem in the U.S. and leads to a high-calorie intake. People who drink soda typically do not reduce their calories elsewhere because soda is not satiating. Adding one can of regular soda per day will cause a bodyweight gain of fifteen pounds per year (U.C. Berkeley Wellness Letter, 2007, Soft drinks, hard questions, 23(5), 2). Sedentary behavior encouraged by excessive television viewing leads to decreased energy expenditure. Stress increases the temptation to eat sugar-laden, high-fat foods.
There are many health consequences related to obesity. The list of maladies is extensive and includes stroke, heart disease, fatty liver disease, type-2 diabetes, osteoarthritis, certain cancers (i.e., breast, colon, prostate, endometrial, etc.), hypertension, dsylipidemia, gallstones, sleep apnea, lower back pain, and depression.
The prevention and treatment of obesity is primarily dependent on personal willpower, discipline and consistency. Here are ways to reduce your risk of becoming obese:

Embattled Grafton appoints positions, approves budget
GRAFTON — The city council recently approved the mayor's appointments of building and zoning positions, shoring up the post left suddenly vacant about two months ago due to an abrupt resignation.
The council unanimously approved the appointments of Chris Wiegand and Bill Hedger, both of Grafton, with Wiegand as Building and Zoning Commission administrator and Hedger as Deputy Building and Zoning Commission administrator. The part-time appointed positions came two weeks after Mayor Tom Thompson's first choice for appointment, Samuel Shaw, withdrew his application after the council voted to layover approval of his appointment during a contentious city council meeting, from which Shaw left after announcing his withdrawal.
"He was exceedingly qualified for the position," Thompson said.
Shaw works as a code inspector for the city of Alton and has 25 years experience in the field, as well as licenses from the International Code Council and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
However, Thompson said that Wiegand's qualifications do meet those needed for the position; Wiegand holds a bachelor's degree in construction engineering.
"The person in this position looks at buildings for demolition or plans for building houses, plus he has work experience in his background," Thompson said. "They also will look at any violation of city code or ordinances, as it relates to building code."
Grafton's former code inspector, Bruce Wickenhauser, resigned unexpectedly a couple months ago from the city's position as Building and Zoning Commission administrator.
Compensation for the Grafton positions are $25 an hour. Wiegand and Hedger are to receive a session of training in Marion, Ill., next week and on-site training in flood plain issues in the next couple weeks. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources' Floodplain Program Manager Paul Osman will administer the training about building in a flood plain and related issues.
"The first thing they'll have to do is inspect all the houses and businesses damaged by the recent flood," Thompson said. "They'll go through the entire town and get an assessment of how great the damage is. They'll learn about the requirements and elevation of houses in a flood plain."
Other recent city council business included approval of the budget ordinance and an approved motion to transfer $226,358 from the old city water fund, where the money accumulated after the sale of the regular water system a few years ago to Illinois American Water Co. The city has considered it a "savings account."
"It's really the savings account from when we got the money," Thompson said. "The first thing I did was pay off $1 million against indebtedness on the original debt we still had from hooking up to Illinois American Water. There should have been about $700,000 or $800,000 afterward in that savings account and a CD."
The city runs on a budget deficit of between $80,000 and $100,000. Thompson's goal to gain revenue for the city since he first took office in his first term about six years ago was to increase sales tax revenue, by which most cities rely on for their main source to operate versus property taxes. Property taxes also are divided among several taxing bodies. Thompson has said from his first mayoral campaign to the present he would prefer to have more sales tax than to have Grafton's property taxes increase.
Alderman Flo Rowling told Thompson to stop talking about the possibility of increased property taxes in lieu of more sales tax and hotel/motel tax at the last city council meeting last Tuesday night.
"Stop, you're scaring people," she said. "Are you finished? Just don't say it out loud."
She noted that her property tax went up by $400 this year. Thompson explained he always has said this.
"Hiding facts and reality is not what you do as a mayor," he said in response at the last meeting.
He said up to four potential buyers of city lots in Grafton Hills have decided not to purchase there. At the first monthly meeting July 14 Alderman Bobbie Amburg's motion to approve the Grafton Hills Incentive for lots sold by the city failed for lack of a second. Essentially, buyers during the incentive period the last three to four years, got a lot for free if they did indeed build a house on the lot. The lots came about as relocation property after the Great Flood of 1993.
"Those have been there since the middle '90s. I had a committee of community people who came up with that plan," Thompson said. "The plan was written about by the New York Times, the Seattle Times and on ABC national news. It was a benefit to the city in it got the property tax."
He cited a hypothetical scenario that if five houses were built in Grafton Hills with each property paying approximately $5,000 in taxes, in 10 years the city could gain $200,000.
"My whole thought was we need more people to move to Grafton, to share in the burden of city finances, so we can run this city," Thompson noted. "It's not just building houses, it's employing local tradespeople."

The Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education commissioned this paper to explore several questions about students who are English language learners (ELL) in Massachusetts: (1) For how many years is a typical ELL student in Massachusetts classified as limited English proficient (LEP)?; (2) How much variation is there in a the number of years it takes to exit a student from ELL services and LEP status, and does this suggest different policies and practices at the district level?; (3) How do formerly LEP students perform better if they exited LEP status relatively sooner than later; and (4) How predictive are MEPA scores in determining when ELL students transition out of LEP status? This paper reviews the data that bear on these questions to help identify successful approaches for transitioning ELL students out of LEP status and into the general education program.

Yesterday was CSA pick-up day. We received cantaloupe, 1 pound of tomatoes (I picked some small green striped ones), peaches, peppers (sweet and hot), okra (yuck), green beans, and a loaf of bread. And I did not use a single one of these items for dinner. What I did do was make a potato soup using the last of our potatoes. It seemed like a hands-off kind of meal, and after grilling chicken two nights in a row (once for fajitas and once for a pasta dish with a walnut sauce), that was what I needed. The recipe I started with is below. I'm not sure of its exact origin; my mom sent it to me last year and I meant to cook it a few weeks ago when we were overloaded with potatoes but hadn't gotten to it.
Vermont Cheddar Bisque
1.5 C peeled potatoes, cut into ½-in cubes 2 tsp Dijon mustard
2 C low-sodium chicken broth 1.5 C shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
1/4 C unsalted butter 1/4 tsp salt
1 C finely chopped onions Coarsely ground black pepper to taste
3 T all-purpose flour 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1.5 C 2% reduced-fat milk
1. Combine potatoes and broth in a large stockpot. Cover and bring to a simmer. Cook until potatoes are tender, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat.
2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add onions and cook stirring, until translucent, 6-to-8 minutes. Add flour and cook stirring 2 minute. Stir into potato mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until thickened.
3. Add milk and cook, stirring, about 8 minutes. Do not boil. Remove from heat and stir in mustard and about half the cheese. Stir until melted. Add remaining cheese. Season with salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper to taste.
I already knew there would be at least one substitution. I had a block of horseradish Cheddar cheese, not extra sharp. But, really, that was just the beginning.
First of all, I really hate peeling potatoes, a task that does not fall in the "low maintenance cooking" category. Since I skipped peeling, I decided to skip cutting, too, and just tossed 2 pounds of potatoes (all we had left) into 3 cups of chicken broth (all we had left) and let those babies cook.
Meanwhile, I melted the butter and sliced two small yellow onions and half of a red onion then cooked them in the butter. That's about what the recipe called for. I did not use any flour. I added some garlic near the end.
I'm not sure how long it took to cook the potatoes; I had the burner at about medium and did sit down to read a magazine so I definitely wasn't running around the whole time. I ended up cooking the potatoes for so long to make sure they were soft that even with the lid on the pot most of the chicken broth evaporated or was absorbed by the potatoes. I used a hand masher to mash the potatoes a bit and then added the onions to the potato pot. I then added 1.5 cups of milk, probably 3 teaspoons of Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper to the pot and pulled out the immersion blender.
The potato mixture was very thick, more like mashed potatoes than soup, so I added more milk. Then I mixed in the cheese, which I had grated in the food processor. It was probably around 1.5 cups.
There were little bits of peel still, but the soup was overall thick and creamy. I sprinkled a little extra cheese on top. I wrote a poem before about Frank Lloyd Wright that had a line about the nutrients in a potato skin. Maybe it's a poem about potatoes and not about FLW.
I have no idea what the nutritional value of this meal is, but it feels pretty healthy -- onions, potatoes, spices, 2% milk, and local cheddar cheese. Filling and not bad to make for a late summer day when the temperatures have finally started to get below Unbearably Hot.
[Pictures to follow]
This weekend will definitely involve cantaloupe plus the watermelon we still have. Now what to do with the pears...

Health Care is Expensive: Man Billed $45 Million for Treatment
They say health care costs keep going up, but this is ridiculous. A New York City man went to a hospital to be treated for pneumonia and asthma and got a bill for nearly $45 million. Turns out it was a computer error, not the result of Obamacare. The Associated Press reports:

Kurt Angle's return to the WWE's squared circle never came to be in the recently concluded and questionably underwhelming Royal Rumble 2017. After speculations that the six-time world champion would be returning as a surprise entrant to the 30-man match, the Superstar was ultimately absent in the highly-anticipated PPV.
Despite his absence at the Royal Rumble match, however, ESPN reports that Angle has signed in with the WWE until Wrestlemania 33, where he would be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2017. Thus, while there is really no official word on whether Kurt Angle would be returning to the ring, that fact that the professional wrestler is with WWE once more has managed to get numerous fans excited.
Considering Angle's talents in the ring and his undeniable capability to entertain fans, it is unsurprising that millions of wrestling fans are practically clamoring to see the Olympic gold medalist return to fighting form in the WWE ring. With this in mind, here are three ways that the WWE could give Kurt Angle a pretty awesome comeback (we're looking at you, Vince McMahon).
Another Feud With Brock Lesnar
Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar's feuds in the past are among the most entertaining in WWE's history. Both wrestlers are very capable athletes and their styles serve as perfect foils to each other. Angle's technical wrestling and submission-based offense and Lesnar's ground-and-pound style have given fans a lot of entertaining matches over the years. One of the most notable aspects of their rivalry was Lesnar's tendency to tap out to Angle's submission hold, essentially breaking The Beast's impregnable persona repeatedly. This eventually culminated in some unforgettable matches, including their epic showdown in Summerslam 2003.
Brock Lesnar and Goldberg have been feuding for a while now, but with Goldberg and The Undertaker seemingly starting their own feud in the Royal Rumble, WWE could give Brock Lesnar another notable competitor for Wrestlemania 33. Angle's retirement from WWE does not mean that the wrestler is not fit to compete anymore, as the Olympic gold medalist still competes on the independent circuit. If another Angle vs. Lesnar feud could happen, WWE fans would surely be overjoyed.
Target the Undertaker at the Elimination Chamber PPV
The Undertaker is one of the WWE's most valuable assets, and the veteran wrestler is pretty much a part-timer now. Despite this, however, the Deadman still has a pretty big tendency to appear in WWE PPVs, and his appearance in the Royal Rumble 2017 seems to indicate that the Phenom would be quite active in the squared circle in the near future. With this in mind, there is a good chance that The Undertaker would make yet another appearance, or possibly even compete, in the upcoming Elimination Chamber PPV.
Kurt Angle and The Undertaker have had a number of pretty notable feuds over the years. Their rivalry in the ring was highlighted by the fact that The Undertaker is very effective as a face wrestler and Angle excels greatly at being a heel. If The Undertaker does make an appearance in the Elimination Chamber PPV, it would be a great time for WWE to reintroduce Kurt Angle into the ring.
Interfere In a Wrestlemania 33 WWE Championship Match
Wrestlemania is the WWE's golden goose. It is the PPV of PPVs, and it is watched by millions upon millions of wrestling fans worldwide. While the event would most likely be headlined by the title match between a reigning champion and the winner of the Royal Rumble, another title is always at stake due to the WWE's two-pronged championship system. Randy Orton, the winner of the 2017 Royal Rumble, would most likely go for John Cena's WWE Championship, which means that another match involving the WWE Universal Championship would be held in WM33.
The title match for the WWE Universal Championship would be a perfect way for Kurt Angle to make his presence known in the ring once more. The Superstar, after all, has managed to headline Wrestlemania a number of times in the past, so Angle is no stranger to the WWE's grandest stage of them all, according to Sportskeeda. Plus, the fact that Kurt Angle would be there for the Hall of Fame induction is yet another opportunity for the WWE to reintroduce the Olympic gold medalist to the ring once more.
Kurt Angle might be turning 50 in a couple of years, but the fact that the WWE Superstar still actively wrestles in the independent circuit until today proves that the six-time champion still has a lot left in the tank. With Angle pretty much the biggest free agent in the wrestling business, it would be pretty foolish for the WWE to pass its chance up to acquire the charismatic, talented wrestler for yet another epic run.

women less confident. This can be caused by several factors, including the use of deodorant products that cause allergic rashes or shaving habits and plucking the armpit hairs that cause irritation and may cause skin discoloration.
Many ways can be done to overcome this problem, either by using care products or herbal ways as will be explained below.
- Lemon
- Cucumber
Grate the cucumber to create smooth, then add lemon juice to taste. Apply evenly on your armpits and let stand for 15 minutes. Next wash the armpits until they are clean.
This treatment is more effective to make the colors brighter back underarm skin. Perform routine and see significant changes in the skin of your armpit.

WE WERE TIPPED OFF| Officer takes stand in racketeering case
BALTIMORE (WBFF)-- Former Baltimore City Police Officers take the stand against other members of the disbanded Gun Trace Task Force.
Former officers Marcus Taylor and Daniel Hersl maintain their innocence in federal corruption charges against them.
Maurice Ward pleaded guilty to corruption charges last year.
Ward laid out the methods of the Gun Trace Task Force. As a member, Ward robbed suspected drug dealers and committed overtime fraud.
In federal court Tuesday, Ward said he couldn't remember when he began robbing people, but the overtime fraud began when he met Sergeant Wayne Jenkins, who also plead guilty to racketeering charges.
Prosecution wraps testimony with Ward by asking if anyone tipped GTTF off to investigations against them. Ward says a police officer, tipped off GTTF leader Wayne Jenkins. And an internal affairs officer tipped off defendant Taylor too.
Ward identified the officer that tipped off Jenkins with his last name only, it is the same last name of an officer who was with Jenkins when Jenkins devised a plan to plant drugs on two men, Umar Burley and Brent Mathews, who were wrongly imprisoned for planting drugs.
The officer that Ward said the tip came from was not charged in that case. He is working at the academy now. Ward also testified that defendant Taylor lied to a judge on a warrant.
Ward continues his testimony Thursday, admitting to lying on the witness stand in multiple criminal cases in which he testified.
Three other officers from the gun squad are also scheduled to testify.

There is a distinct difference between a movie star and a movie actor (the same could be said for any profession in Hollywood). Some movie actors are great, but don't get the publicity they deserve (Viggo Mortensen, Sally Hawkins, for example). Then there are those who are movie stars but not the best of actors (I won't name names here and get into an argument). Then there are those few who can be a movie star, and show acting chops like no other (Daniel Day-Lewis, Tom Hanks, Meryl Streep, Al Pacino, to name a few). One of my favorite actresses working today is Marion Cotillard, who definitely falls into the latter category.
Like many, I became a fan the first time I saw her in her (much deserved) Oscar winning role in La Vie en Rose. She then went on in other blockbusters such as Inception and The Dark Knight Rises, lesser known films like Rust and Bone, and even a brief (yet brilliant) cameo in Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues. Her most recent movie (which she was also nominated for an Oscar) has her star as Sandra. She is a loving wife and mother of two. She recently found out she may be laid off at work. A vote was taken: Do the workers want to keep her on the team, or let go of her for a bonus. The film starts off with the results in favor of the Bonus, but her boss has intimidated the workers to go for the bonus. Sandra is able to get a second voting to take place, and the rest of the movie is nothing more than her asking each of her co workers to reconsider keeping her on the job.
You may think the movie sounds boring, or too slow, and you would be half right. It is slow but not boring (at least at most times). The key factor is Cotillard. She plays Sandra as if she were a flower in a windy field, and her stem is just about broken. She can cry at a moments notice without any effort. The movie uses a lot of close-ups of character reactions (not just Sandra).We learn about her past behavior, and begin to love the relationship she has with her very caring husband Manu (Fabrizio Rongione). It is sublime acting all around in this film.
There also seems to be a theme of separation between Sandra and the co workers she visits. Look in the background, and you find something that seems to be splitting Sandra and her co workers as she wishes for them to reconsider.
Parents, I highly doubt your kids would find this interesting. Still, in case they do, there is nothing more than some swearing and thematic issues. Anyone middle school and older would be fine, and I would advise it to anyone who wants to know what great movie acting looks like.
Overall: Four Stars ****

Italians victorious on home snow in snowboard cross World Cup
Michela Moioli made it two World Cup wins in a row as the Italian reigned supreme on home snow to move up to third in the overall snowboard cross standings.
And it was a home double in Italy as Omar Visintin won the men's race to snag his first World Cup win of the season.
Moioli was outnumbered in the women's final as she lined up against three French riders, but emerged victorious to add to her win last time out in Montafon.
Nelly Moenne Loccoz took an early lead in Cervinia, but Moioli soon overtook her as Julia Pereira de Sousa Mabileau and Charlotte Bankes settled for third and fourth.
That result saw Moioli move up to third in the snowboard cross standings, on 3230 points, while leader Lindsey Jacobellis made the small final but did not start the race and therefore settled for eighth.
Her misfortune allowed France's Chloe Trespeuch to close the gap on her in the World Cup standings, with a fifth place putting her just 80 points behind the American.
The men's race saw Visintin stage a comeback victory as he came back from third at the penultimate time check to take the win.
France's Pierre Vaultier finished second, having led the race from the gate until Visintin overtook him in the closing stages, with Australia's Alex Pullin claiming bronze and Alex Deibold missed out on a medal.
Pullin still leads the World Cup standings, however, on 3026 points with Vaultier in second on 2520, Alessandro Haemmerle – who could only manage fifth in Cervinia – is third on 2120 with Adam Lambert and Visintin then just split by ten points in fourth and fifth, respectively.

The legal limit for the blood alcohol content of an individual while operating a motor vehicle in the state of South Carolina is .08 percent. This law applies to individuals who operate boats. Their blood alcohol content level must not exceed .08 percent if they are to legally operate their vessel.
Boating while impaired
Boating in South Carolina is governed by local ordinances as well as state law. The regulations concerning the operation of watercraft are in many ways similar to those concerning the operation of a car, as exemplified by the laws against boating while intoxicated. Law enforcement officials may pull over a boat if they suspect its operator is under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Board declines man's parole bid
Some readers from South Carolina may recall the deadly boating accident on Lake Murray that left two women dead. The man who was convicted of reckless homicide with respect to that incident recently saw his petition for early release from prison denied by a board. He is currently serving a 10-year sentence.

Akila Chungi Pottery
Blogs help people meet people- true story. This has happened to me several times over the last few months now and its a fantastic way to connect. They/people like the same things as me and some are so good with what they do- it's truly inspiring. So Akila Chungi walked into my blogger life one day and showed me around her work. One word- Amazing! Akila specializes in ceramics that are a visual treat and joy to use. I have seen each one of her products in detail and even bought a few – fell in love instantly."Influenced by the issues arising within myself and around me, my works in clay are quite a symbolic representation of the thoughts I desire to address. My work also converse of a vernal metamorphic mind that has devoted itself to a freshly discovered passion, with each creation bearing either a speck of a thought or a whole deluge of perception"- Akila Chungi

I'm off to SCERTS training
Tomorrow I am off to Milwaukee to learn more about the SCERTS program. SCERTS stands for Social Communication, Emotional Regulation, and Transactional Support. It is my understanding that this program is similar to RDI in theory and strategies, but without the strict protocol requirements. It is my hope that the SCERTS model will offer an alternative for families who are unable to afford a full RDI program at this time, but who still want to treat their child's core deficits of autism.
I will be posting more information here next week. Have a wonderful holiday!

Hi there. I have just joined your blog. I live in South Africa and have a 9yr old son with ASD. RDI is not available in South Africa. Although a handful of parents (including myself) are under the quidence of a consultant from the States. He is due to visit us again soon. As you can imagine the expense of bringing someone here is rather large to say the least!
With your permission could I please copy your posts to hand out to people interested in RDI. I know I am not a consultant and I am not sure if the Connection Centre would agree BUT there are so many people here who need help and even if I can help just one family by giving them some basic info.
Look forward to your reply! :)

May I ask your thoughts about SCERTS? My son has improved with RDI, but the protocol is difficult to follow, at least it is for me .....I'm a older single parent with two special needs kids and I work full-time, My son is now 15, and I'd love to find something perceived as simpler than RDI for my son's sitters and teachers.
Thanks in advance.

You, me and everybody out there want to look younger. So what if we age? We have all the rights to look younger, to use makeup techniques to look younger! When you were younger, you could have survived with little or no makeup. However, aging skin with wrinkles, age spots, dark circles and all the other signs of aging requires you to wear makeup to look younger. So, is it all right to do heavy makeup or should we go for subtle makeup that doesn't shows off too much but make us look younger? Let's have some makeup tips to look younger! These are the ultimate beauty tips for your aging skin.
Makeup Tips to Look Younger #1 : Chuck that Shimmery Shadow!
Eyes tell it all! Even your age. Remember eyes are the windows to our souls and also to let our age known! If you have still been using those shimmery eye shadows, its time to bid good bye to them. The shiny sparkles highlight the wrinkles around your eyes. On the other hand, matt shadows (silky matt will also do) blend well with aging skin and hide those fine lines well to make you look younger than your age. Try the universal colors like peach or a light tone of champagne to get a younger looking eyes. Apply these eye shadows from lashes to brows. However, if there is puffiness on your eyelids, use medium shades on the whole of the lid which will give an impression of natural crease. Taupe eye shadow will do good to make your eyes look younger in such case.
Makeup Tips to Look Younger #2 : Say Yes to Lip Gloss!
One of the very obvious effect of aging are drier and thinner lips to to lost plumpness. Lip glosses help make your lips look fuller. If you are habitual of wearing dark lip liner and matte lipstick, you might end up drawing attention towards the fine lines around your mouth. So when you wear a lip color, top it with a lip gloss to give your lips fuller and youthful shine.
Makeup Tips to Look Younger #3 : Go Easy with Foundation and Concealer!
You might find foundations and concealers to be the magic solutions for those uneven skin tones and dark patches and spots. However, a thick layer of these can make your wrinkles look more deeper adding years to your age. When you use foundation, first apply a moisturizer that will give a smooth appearance to these cosmetics. Avoid using your fingers to apply it. Instead use a sponge or a brush. These makeup tools will ensure that you do not get a thick coat of foundation. You can then dot concealer on the dark spots or patches that require extra coverage like under eyes and around nose.
Makeup Tips to Look Younger # 4 : Mix and Match Dark Colors and Neutrals!
Colors look good but colors all over your face might make you look older than you expect them to do! If you love those bright lipsticks and blushes, match them with neutral eye shadows. For example, if you wear rosy blush on your cheeks, go for nuetral eye make up or if you want a loud eye makeup, go neutral with lips and cheek makeup. However, pale tones of lipsticks can give you older look. So, you can use pink neutrals or berries in place of nude lip shades.
Makeup Tips to Look Younger # 5 : Say No to Liquid Eye Liners!
Eye pencils are what you need for your aging eyes because liquid liners make your eyes look hard. You can use waterproof liner pencil. Work your eye pencil around the top of the lash line between all the lashes. When you open your eyes, you should not be able to see a line. If you want to further soften the line, smudge it with an angled makeup brush after dipping it in dark shadow. Your fingers can also do if you don't have an angled makeup brush but be extra careful when using your fingers to smudge the liner. You can also apply a coat of mascara. If you have small eyes, don't line the inside of your eyes as it will make them appear smaller. Always fill in your eye brows because with age they lose density and may hinder your attempt to look younger with the right makeup techniques.
Makeup Application Tips- Super Beauty Tips on How to Look Younger!
Here are some super beauty tips to look younger- your guide for makeup application for aging face!
Start makeup application with Primer. A high-quality skin primer fills in your fine lines and smaller wrinkles making them less visible. Applying moisturizer even before primer can also help you look younger.
Don't apply thick foundation. Thick coat of foundation turn into deep cracks making your fine lines more visible. Apply moisturizer, then primer, and then a light liquid foundation tapping it in softly with a sponge. Don't rub it.
Enhance the shape of your eyes. If your eyelids tend to droop, you should apply makeup in such a way that draws attention away from the lids and toward your eyes. Apply eye-liner in a thin streak along the line where the lashes begin, top and bottom.
Apply soft shades of eye shadow. Always use soft shades of eye shadow and give a light touch when applying shadow.
Fill in your eyebrows. Brows give a frame to your face. However they grow thinner with age. So, use eyebrow pencil that complements your eyebrow hair color.
Avoid dark lipstick shades. Bleeding lip color will draw attention to wrinkles around your mouth as the cream (of lipstick) tends to stray into the fine lines around your lips. Apply moisturizer, then coat your lips with foundation and then wear lipstick. This will also help plump up your lips making you look younger.
Swap your powder cosmetics with creamier ones. Powders settle into fine lines and wrinkles whereas creamy cosmetic formulas plump up the skin making you look younger than your age.

Women's wine according to Jancis Robinson
The most famous Master of Wine Jancis Robinson asks <<Do women and men have a different relationship with wine? >> and her answers leave you speachless
Read for you by Donatella Cinelli Colombini.
You might be thinking about a woman's magazine? No, the article appeared in the "Financial Times" the newspaper for bankers, the finance that matters and great entrepreneurs! And it is a milestone. I invite everyone to read it, especially the boys. <<when a man chooses a bottle to serve at home he asks himself – is it expensive enough for my boss/client/friend? A woman instead asks herself – will we enjoy drinking it together?>> It's so true. It is a truth that is before everyone's eyes, women are pragmatic. But it is the next part that really surprises <<women have superior tasting abilities to men, performing more precisely and consistently in experiments>> literally women are more capable than men in tasting, they are more careful/accurate and more experimenters.Then she talks about the Digital Wine Communication Conference, the one Gian Piero Staffa talked about a few weeks ago, he was sitting right beside her. The data speak for themselves: 58% of USA regular consumers are women, 7 bottles out of 10 bought in English supermarkets are bought by women. Even the diffusion of grape varieties in the world is affected by the "womanisation" of the market and consequently the increase in Chardonnay and Pinot grigio. What really brings the house down is the news that women are much more successful in the hardest of exams: those for the qualification as Masters of Wine. There is more … all eight winners of the competition for best wine educators (56.000
students from all over the world) are women. Even at the Davis University in California half of the graduates in viticulture and oenology are women. So a growth for women from production to consumption. Jancis Robinson comments <<I don't expect everyone to agree>>. However she binds to the increasing involvement of women the evolution of consumptions towards fresher wines, with colours, alcohol and wood that are less intense and above all the abandonment of gigantism – a bit male – that dominated the end of the twentieth century. Here is the conclusion <<the wine world feels less competitive and more co-operative – more stereotypically feminine, perhaps.>> The wine world feels less competitive and more supporting of a more feminine stereotype. Maybe. Let's hope she right about this as well.

I have been reading lots of blogs at the moment but there are two in particular that I have started reading. The one I lost 2 days reading the entire blog from start to finish and the other I am still doing so. It dawned on me why I have enjoyed reading them so much.
The first "There's a lionheart and a little prince in our bathtub" is from the mom's perspective on having a lionheart (a boy with special needs) and now throwing a new baby into the mix. I love her honestly and humour in it all. I worked at a special needs summer camp and a special needs school in Joeys for 3 years. I really have a spot spot for those kids and I miss it dearly. Can not wait until I get qualified and I can get back into it. I found the littlest of achievements to be so rewarding.
A flashback of a special moment: I was in the store room when a little boy (lets call him John) came in. He has autism and mild CP.
Me: "John you are not allowed in the store room. Can I help you with something?"
John: "Yes Bomwym."
Me: "Whats do you need help with?"
A this point he came up to me and gave me a huge hug and Said : "I love Bomwym."
The second blog I have been stalking is Diaries of a white mother raising a black baby. A white husband and wife adopted a little black baby girl. I must say this woman is wet yourself funny, she talks about her husband relieving the dog, to velcro sticking to her little girl's hair. But she also talks about the serious side of cross cultural adoption. I have always wanted to adopt a little black baby girl, not because I want a token black baby or anything of the sort but because we live in a majority black populated country and there are so many kids needing good homes. My future little girl will have the middle name Thabisile, the meaning is happiness or has brought joy, so apt, I have always found it to be such a beautiful name.
Now to find my next stalkee.

"Justified" returns for a fourth season with a mysterious cold case
"Justified" returns Tuesday for a fourth season with more crime, mystery and a little romance.
For the season premiere episode, titled "Hole in the Wall," Timothy Olyphant is back in the shoes of U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens. The last time we saw him, he was facing off against nasty politics and hidden fortunes, as well as tackling a mysterious criminal ringleader named Limehouse, and a gangster named Quarles.
Raylan will start to explore a cold case 30-plus years in the making, which will shed light on a riddle that echoes back to his childhood and the bad dealings of his criminal father, Arlo, played by Raymond J. Barry.
The season premiere goes back in time to unveil a piece of valuable information.
"Arlo's confronted with that and does something in the first episode that we hope is shocking," Graham Yost, executive producer, told Entertainment Weekly. "And that's part of what sets the whole mystery in motion."
Also this season, "Boyd Crowder (Walton Goggins) finds his grip on Harlan loosening due to a Pentecostal preacher with a penchant for theatrics and a knack for manipulation to rival his own," according to the "Justified" site.
Olyphant, who also serves as executive producer on the show, recently spoke about what to expect.
"We're doing our best to try to keep the story both familiar and unexpected," he said in an interview, reports Star Pulse. "When we sit down to concoct these things, we're looking for the unexpected, and hopefully we've got that this year."
"Justified" airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m. ET on FX.

Product details
Fiberglass Pipe Wrapping Tissue
Fiberglass pipe wrapping tissue is used as excellent substrate for anti-corrosion wrapping on steel pipelines buried underground. It is characterized as high tensile strength, good flexibility, uniform thickness, solvent resistant, moisture resistant and flame retardant. It is well compatible with impregnating bitumen and coal tar enamel. The pipelines wrapped with fiberglass wrapping tissue can obviously improve capabilities against leakage and aggressive media in the environment. Moreover the cost for maintenance can be minimized significantly, thus it is an excellent substrate for oil and gas pipes.

text: We're supposed to have a snowy weekend in store for us, at least Sunday and Monday. I expressed my concerns about my two silkies to DH last night, since it's supposed to get down to 23 Saturday night. DH reminded me that we have already had 20 degree nights this winter and the silkies did just fine. I was just checking the weather and Tuesday night the low is supposed to be 9 degrees! Now I'm worried about the silkies all over again. They are in a draft free coop with 19 other birds, including 8 meaties that put off alot of heat. There is at least 6 inches of pine shavings and hay on the floor of the coop; the floor being the only part of the coop that isn't insulated. The other birds, sans the meaties, roost up very high. The silkies, not being able to roost that high, sleep on top of my broodys crate, so about 36 inches off the floor. I tried putting a bunch of hay on top of the crate for the silkies to snuggle up in, but the one silkie refused to sleep there after I put the hay down and all the other birds thought it was great fun to kick all the hay off in the morning. My motherly instincts are screaming at me to bring the silkies in the house Tuesday night, but I don't think spending the night in a warm house only to go back outside in the cold the next day would be good for them either. Are my silkies going to be okay? They are just so little! We're not even going to talk about how much I'm going to fret when there's snow on the ground and the silkies insist on being out with the other birds.

Here are some tips to help you in your thrifting adventures. Feel free to share your own!
- Many thrift shops usually have colored tag sales every day. This means that each day all price tags of a specific color will be on sale. It is usually half off. This usually is the deciding factor if I am going to buy an item or not. For example, if all blue tickets are on sale and I see a cute top that has a red ticket I will put it back on the rack in favor of another top that is a blue ticket. Exceptions can be made if you simply must have that particular gem.
- Wash your hands afterwards. Yes your hands can get quite dusty after sifting through tons of old items. Please wash your hands very well.
- Fill up your cart/basket and sort everything out later. That is my strategy when thrifting on a budget. I usually fill up my cart/basket with all of the items that caught my fancy. When I am done making my rounds I sift through all of the collected items and take out the ones that my conscience can talk me out of buying.
- If you go to the Salvation Army kindly ask about "Family Day." Family Day is one day out of the week when nearly all tickets are on sale regardless of their color. At my favorite Salvation Army spot Family Day is every Wednesday. I try to only go on Wednesdays because I am only spending half of what I would have spent if I went on a regular day.
- Be friendly with the cashiers. If you are nice enough you can negotiate the prices of some really fine gems. At this one Salvation Army I frequented there was this one cashier who always gave me everything half off no matter the day of the week. She even gave me items free at times. Was it right? It sure felt right!
- Check the crotch of any shorts/pants that you are purchasing. I learned the hard way with this one. I once bought a pair of jeans. They were really cute. I took them home and then examined them. The crotch was DISGUSTING to say the least. Closely examine whatever you buy and if it looks too dirty/used…don't buy it.
- Don't bring a competition. While it's always fun to go thrifting with a partner there are times when you may go and your partner may find a gem that you would kill to have found. This is when companion thrifting can get ugly. If you do bring a companion, either make sure you have different styles/sizes or are not like me and will get upset if your companion finds cuter gems than you.
- Check the internet. When traveling check online to find addresses of local thrift shops. When you are at the thrift shop ask the cashier if she/he can recommend any other good thrift shops in the area.
- If you can't see yourself using it or wearing it in the near future then don't buy it. Of course that's how I got stock with my "collectibles." You will save a ton of money and space in your home if you actually stop and think about what you're buying.
- Don't buy underwear from thrift shops. I don't need to explain this one any further.
- I wouldn't buy eating utensils from thrift shops.
- Plates are fine to buy.
- Don't purchase rusted pots/pans from thrift shops.
- Got any of your own to share? Feel free to comment!
