Prof Dean W Billmeyer
Professor: Organ/Harpsichord
Award-winning organist Dean Billmeyer has appeared as a recitalist throughout the United States and Western Europe. His performances have included a number of world premieres and have received numerous broadcasts. Born in 1955 into a family of scientists, Billmeyer began his musical studies at the age of five. In 1973 he entered the Eastman School of Music on an academic scholarship to study with David Craighead. Following further studies in organ and harpsichord with Robert Anderson and Larry Palmer at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Billmeyer entered the class of Michael Radulescu at the Hochschule (today, the Universität) für Musik und Darstellende Kunst in Vienna as a Fulbright Scholar. Following his return to the USA in 1980, he completed his doctorate at the Eastman School in 1982. That year he was named to the University of Minnesota faculty, succeeding the renowned pedagogue Heinrich Fleischer, and has since become established as one of the most highly respected teachers in the Midwestern United States.
Billmeyer's performances have consistently been acclaimed by juries and critics in the United States and Europe for their technical prowess and interpretive insight. After being named winner of the First Dublin International Organ Festival Competition in 1980, he was praised by Irish National Radio for his "steely control" and "absolute musical and technical assurance and concentration. [Billmeyer] made an outstanding impression on us all." In reviewing his 1989 recital at Christ Church Cathedral (following his winning Second Prize in the 1988 Dublin Festival), the Irish Times wrote, "[Billmeyer] showed why he had been so highly regarded by the juries. This was consistently intelligent organ playing, particularly strong in its grasp of structure. Phrasing and articulation were unerringly maintained, whilst elegance of ornamentation in the chorale prelude was particularly affecting. Nor was there any lack of virtuosic skills to meet the greater demands of the Reger." And, in reviewing his 1995 recital at Southern Methodist University, the Dallas Morning News reported: "...Billmeyer can make an organ sing and shout in jubilation. The [Bach] chorale prelude's main theme hovered over the accompanying figuration like an ardent lover pouring out his heart in a serenade. And the [D Major] Prelude and Fugue, Bach's most extroverted, stirred the blood and set the pulse pounding."
Equally at home with avant-garde, aleatoric, and other contemporary music as with literature of the 17th century, Billmeyer worked closely with renowned American composer William Albright on Albright's 1983 oratorio A Song to David. Billmeyer premiered the work, is the featured soloist on the only commercial recording of the oratorio, and in 2003, performed the work in a concert at Trinity Church, Wall Street, in New York City, in a widely-broadcast concert commemorating the second anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attack at the World Trade Center. Billmeyer has appeared regularly over the last fifteen seasons with the Minnesota Orchestra and St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, and he performed with the former ensemble in 2004 on its European tour in concerts in Vienna and London. With this orchestra he has worked under notable conductors including Charles Dutoit, James Conlon, Helmut Rilling, Edo DeWaart, Bernard Labadie, Sir Neville Marriner, and Osmo Vänskä. Known as a skillful continuo accompanist, his credits as a harpsichordist moreover include performances of such major 20th century works as Elliott Carter's Sonata for Flute, Oboe, Cello, and Harpsichord. Known as a skillful accompanist, his credits include several recordings with the Dale Warland Singers, including a performance as harpsichord soloist in the 2003 recording of Dominick Argento's A Toccata of Galuppi's, which received a Grammy® nomination. His concert highlights in 2011 included a recital commemorating the bicentennial of the birth of French organ builder Aristide Cavaillé-Coll in Long-sur-Somme, France. In 2012 two concert tours of Germany and Austria included lectures given in Eisenach at the Anton Bruckner University for Music in Linz. In 2014 Billmeyer led master classes on works of Bach and other composers in Zethau under the auspices of the Gottfried Silbermann Society. His 2016 German tour will include performances on Silbermann organs at both the Cathedral and Petrikirche in Freiberg.
Billmeyer's desire to combine the deepest artistic expression in performance with substantial musicological and theoretical awareness is reflected in the balance between his studio and classroom teaching. At Minnesota he presents such core courses in the keyboard curriculum as Organ Literature and History, Continuo Realization, and Advanced Keyboard Skills. He also teaches tonal and modal counterpoint through the School of Music's Theory Division, and is has researched the cognitive fundamentals of memorization pedagogy for organists. A Fellow of the American Guild of Organists, Billmeyer was the winner of the AGO's S. Lewis Elmer Award, given for the highest scores in the nation on the Guild's Certification examinations, in two consecutive years. He has appeared as a performer and clinician at both regional and national conventions of the AGO, and is a past member of the Guild's national Committee on Professional Certification. He has recently annotated a volume of introductory organ works of Max Reger for publication by Wayne Leupold editions in 2016, and is presently researching the performance practice of J. S. Bach's organ works as documented by Karl Straube (1873-1950).

This dress was love at first sight. Contemporary and traditional, the drop waist elongated my torso and the elegant train added glamour to my walk down the aisle. The simple elegance of this dress allows for statement jewelry and accessories.
The compliments on wedding day were amazing, bringing truth to the old adage, "it's all about the dress!" I lost count of how many times I heard, "I love your dress!" and "you look beautiful!" But the best of all was seeing my flower girls look up in awe and flash beaming smiles when they saw me for the first time, my husband lean over at the alter and whisper, "you look beautiful" and hear the gasps in the lobby as we checked into the hotel for our first night as a married couple. This dress truly helped me make my wedding day the best day of my life and I wish another bride the same experience!
Originally, this dress was a size 10. Alterations have made it a size 2.
This dress was cleaned using a special chemical cleaning method. There are no stains, this dress looks exactly like the day I brought it home.

Why do political societies matter? According to Sonia Huda, President of the Southampton University Politics Association
I think any politics society provides a great opportunity to have open dialogue and debate on just about anything. Whether they are on the economy, social issues or an international crisises, politics societies allow us on commune with others both like minded and different.
But what do the other Political Societies think?
Southampton University Conservative Society:
The Southampton University Conservative Association (SUCA) promotes the Conservative party at a student level. Aside from this we also aim to provide opportunities for Conservative students to meet up and discuss their views with likeminded individuals and promote political debate throughout the whole university. While the next General Election is almost five years away, it is vitally important that we do not rest on our laurels between now and then! One third of the Labour controlled City Council is up for re-election in the spring of 2016, so we have much work to do supporting our local candidates. It's important to have political societies mean our opinions are challenged and we learn more information which may change our opinion.
Johnathan Kirk, SUCA Treasurer
Southampton University Labour Society:
What makes you a student worth less than any other member of society? We in the Southampton University Labour Society don't know either, and yet you get paid less, you're interests are ignored as the £27,000 worth of debt proves. We campaign for student issues with the local Labour party, supporting local candidates in the upcoming council elections as well as the society leads the charge on issues such as Britain remaining in the EU. It has never been more important to have political societies as active as possible without them there is neither the same quality of debate, and even more worryingly students will be completely ignored as the last five years has proven.
James Edwards, Labour Society President
Southampton University Lib Dem Society:
The Liberal Democrat Society over the next five years will be focusing on specific campaigns such as a campaign to preserve the Human Rights act. We also try to keep the Conservatives to account for neglecting their environmental and moral responsibilities. The Liberal Democrats will be strongly opposing the direction in which this government is taking the country, while fighting for a fairer, more tolerant and more liberal Britain The society also works closely with Lib Dem candidates nearby and on pro-European campaigns. A vibrant political atmosphere at university, encouraged by the presence of political societies, ensures students don't become disenfranchised.
Julien Poulain, Lib Dem Society President
Southampton University Young Greens Society:
The University of Southampton Young Greens is a growing political movement, and offer a chance for students to get involved and give back to their local communities. In between now and the next general election the Young Greens will be campaigning on campus on emotive issues such as fair pay etc. We are already preparing for the next general election by getting a feel for residents' concerns.
It is crucial to have active political societies at Southampton otherwise students can become apathetic without a channel for their political concerns.
Rosie Pearce, Young Greens Co-Chair
Southampton University Marxist Society:
Soton Marxists is an affiliated member of the Marxist Student Federation as well as SUSU. We work with other Marxist societies around the UK to educate ourselves on Marxist ideas. Britain's students have been under a Tory government that has proven that capitalism offers no future with all their austerity measures they have imposed. Unlike other societies we function in a different way rather than building up to campaigning in a general election we organise weekly discussion meetings with a wide range of topics such as Ukraine, the EU crisis etc. The best way to protect our own future interests is by joining together and supporting and organising unions. With young people being hit the hardest now is the time for us to act, hence why political societies are so important.
Mert Cal, Soton Marxists Secretary

Hey Everyone!
Welcome to Day 6 Part 1 of Meg-A Readers 2014!
Today I've got my review for Meg Cabot's 8th book in The Princess Diaries series, Princess on the Brink.
From Goodreads:
At last, Mia is a junior. An upperclassperson. Free of her responsibilities as student body president. So why is it that everything is going so terribly wrong? What is she doing in Intro to Creative Writing? When she has made it through Algebra and Geometry, why must she be faced with Precalculus? And for the love of all that is Genovian, why has Lilly nominated her for school prez again? All this is nothing compared to the news Michael springs on her, however. On top of all the mathematical strife, her beloved boyfriend is leaving for Japan for a year. Precalc has nothing on preparing for the worst separation ever
Turns out there is one way she might convince Michael to stay. But will she? Or won't she? No matter what, Mia seems headed for disaster.
My Thoughts:
This is the first book in the series that didn't end on a happy note. In fact, it ended on one of the devastating notes of my book world life!! I can't believe Mia did that!!! I mean, yes I get it...Michael lied. And no I don't think he didn't technically lie, because being open about past relationships is an important part of a loving relationship! I don't care if Mia never asked, it should have come up sooner.
I'm just so sad every time I finish this book!! It bums me out! Plus we've got stupid a-hole, who I'm not going to name, swoop in as soon as he sees Mia isn't possibly together with Michael anymore...UGH!!!!!!
I'm sorry, if I'm spoiling this one for those of you who haven't read it. I did warn you up top!!
Anyway, I'm just so bummed right now, even though I know how this series will end, this one is just so sad!!!
Alright I'm going back to reading, I've still got to finish the last two in the series, to make it in time for the reviews to be up for Meg-A Readers 2014!!
Oh don't forget to enter the giveaway!!!

I have been covering stocks for the past few months looking for a break. I have been accused in the past of being a pit bear in the nasdaq.
I named my old site after my nickname nasdog. Anyway,I have had many questions regarding the nasdog. That is the genesis.
Two days ago I cited my continual thought of bearish the stocks.
Nasdaq 7684 was a olive line sell. This was a test of the bears souls.
nasdaq 100 hit 2026 olive line sell,this parabolic shooting star.
Always use stops here as I have said time and time again,these fast markets can rip your face off both ways.
We need to look at the huge moves here in short periods of time. The VIX, The S AND P, This is where the olive line algorithmic plays to the tune in many different timeframes.
The low in the dow yesterday may represent the low and is a olive line buy. USE STOPS
In these types of markets I recommend going home flat. That way we stick to rules daily and do not need to defend a looser in the morning.
Is this your trader profile. Some people like to cowboy it and be aggressive interday. The olive line can assist with this.
I am happy to set up chart lessons for the individual trader.
could we crash? 33% chance my gut
Then rally and make new highs end of year, not today?
I am looking for those types of moves with the volatility profile.
This is where The olive line can assist.
I have been talking friendly corn. The markets are uo 6-7 cents at present today. The report offers support.
The olive Line has been calling it. Use 3-5 cent stops we are looking at higher corn in my view. 3.695*** next.
The wheat,If we rally the chicago over 530 is a go with scenario
use stops.
cattle liquidation into dec-feb will represent a olive line buy. Call for specific levels. If we break into the levels it is the time to act.
There could be good pattern recognition in the cattle. Always we enter with stops.
Stocks have not closed higher since Trump Emerg text 6 days ago. Signal?
In closing I want to be very cautious about CHINA, It is my personal belief and observation they may be due a crash,mini crash. This weekend. They
have been struggling for some time. This will have effects on the markets in general in my view.
Let the OLIVE LINE assist you. pro or beginner. Too much to cover but game on, is game on.

American 'Medicine': A Woman Refused to Leave the Hospital So Cops Threw Her Out - She Died Soon After
By JOE REEDY
A woman who refused to leave a hospital when doctors discharged her died after she was forcibly removed by police, authorities said Tuesday.
Barbara Dawson, 57, collapsed Monday while being escorted in handcuffs from the Liberty Calhoun Hospital, where she went to seek treatment for breathing difficulties, said Blountstown Police Department chief Mark Mallory. Mallory said an officer had arrested Dawson for disorderly conduct and trespassing.
An autopsy on Dawson has been performed and the results should be released Wednesday, Mallory said. Florida Department of Law Enforcement officials have been called in to investigate, department spokesman Steve Arthur said. He declined to comment further.
Mallory said that the officer who arrested Dawson removed the handcuffs after she collapsed and escorted her back into the hospital.
"We were told by a doctor once she got back in the hospital that her vital signs were good and it was their decision to readmit her," he said. He said dashcam footage from the officer's car does not show the incident but does pick up the audio.
Hospital officials did not return telephone calls Tuesday night. Ruth Attaway, administrator and CEO of the hospital, was quoted by The Tallahassee Democrat as saying that staff did everything they could to save Dawson.

Entrepreneur Skills
Top Five Entrepreneur Skills You Need To Be Successful In Business
Do you possess the necessary entrepreneur skills that you need to be successful with your own business? If you are contemplating find your way out of the corporate world, there are a few skills and qualities that you need including management capability, business skills and personal attributes. It is unlikely that you have every one but there are five basic entrepreneur skills that you must have before you even think about making it in the business world on your own.
One of the most important entrepreneur skills to have is an abundance of self-motivation since no one will be telling you what to do and how fast to do it. You are in charge of everything and only you create your plans and have the power to change them as you see necessary.
To be successful, you have to have a clear goal and be a self-starter. You need to have confidence in your ideas and in yourself and you have to be able to focus your attention on work, even though it may be tempting to turn on the television, head to the gym or go to the beach. Fighting distractions is one of the hardest things to overcome when you have your own business. You have to have the drive to make the success of your business an actual reality and not just a goal.
Marketing And Sales Skills
These are the more obvious entrepreneur skills that you probably know that you need and hopefully already have. If you have no customers, you have no business which makes marketing skills so incredibly valuable and necessary to have.
While you are planning your business, you should be also plotting the whole time of how to reach your target audience. You need to be able to understand the wants and needs of your customers.
Oral and written communication skills are helpful to have in this category as well since you need to create press releases and ads to get your business noticed.
Time Management Skills
If you cannot manage your day and your time, you have no right trying to go into business. You have to be able to multitask and have an idea in your mind every morning of what you need to accomplish for the day. There are a lot of daily tasks involved in a home-based business so you need to know how to prioritize them and manage your time wisely.
Financial Intelligence
Another one of the most important entrepreneur skills that you need to have to be successful is the ability to handle money. Chances are, if you are like most, you probably have limited start up capital and need to be able to really stretch that as far as you can. When you start your own business you must be extra aware of your spending habits and make the most of the supplies and equipment that you have.
You need to be able to really manage your cash flow so that you are not affected by the ups and down associated with being self-employed. Once your business is up and running and revenue begins flowing in, you may be tempted to start splurging but you need to refrain. Build yourself a suitable nest egg for emergencies and really ask yourself if you need something before you buy it.
Administration Skills
Most people starting their own business do not have the luxury of hiring a personal assistant in the budget to file papers and organize their space. Administration skills are just as important to begin successful as any of the other entrepreneur skills. You will need to file receipts, print invoices, manage receivables and collect payments. Therefore, general knowledge of bookkeeping procedures will certainly help your business run a little smoother, especially when tax time comes.

A Study of a Flood Control Levee Swamp Systemby Edmond D. H. Cheng, Univ of Hawaii at Manoa, Honolulu, United States,
Document Type: Proceeding Paper
Part of: Irrigation and Drainage
In an attempt to reconstruct the events of the more than 100-year 1987 New Year's Eve storm that occurred on Oahu, Hawaii, an analysis of a complicated overland flow phenomenon and hydraulic routing process, under dynamic tidal conditions, were applied to a levee swamp system. Since only very fragmentary rainfall and runoff data of the extreme event were available, the inflow hydrographs for the Kawainui Swamp were successfully simulated by means of the Nash-Muskingum routing of rainfall excess. The results of the study indicated that the levee system, which was designed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1956 and constructed in 1960, may be erroneously designed.

In this episode we are digging into new research that has lead to the development of the Learning Actions Model and here are our Big Three Takeaways:
- Much of what this community has come to believe about Adult Learning Theory is based on an assumption
- By demonstrating that this assumption is false – we have identified a critical new opportunity to mitigate the extraneous load of learning and optimize educational outcomes
- The new instructional design framework known as the learning actions model provides a roadmap for how to effectively leverage this new understanding in your educational planning
We tend to see learning as an entirely cognitive process – information appears in our sensory memory, if it intrigues us or confuses us it moves into working memory – which is quite limited – and then we struggle to create our own schema connecting new information to prior experience and knowledge so that we can create the networks that form the long term memory.
There's been decades of adult teaching theory that's been designed to explore how to make this cognitive process more effective. But what if it's not enough?
What if all the time and effort and research that's gone into understanding the cognitive parts of learning is overlooking a critical assumption that we are ALL making that undermines that process of teaching and learning? The assumption is… that our learners know how to learn.
Do they? Do Learners Know How to Learn?
Stated another way, what if after decades of research and millions of hours of instructional design efforts it turns out that the cognitive parts of learning are necessary but insufficient to ensure real learning and eventually real behavior change happens?
To address this question I developed a fairly simple and unassuming research project about 3 years ago – my goal was to better understand what the true "process of learning" really entailed. What I uncovered was what I've come to refer to as the Natural Learning Actions.
My research was designed around three questions:
- What are the actions that learners physically take as information begins to bubble from sensory to working memory?
- How and when are these various actions employed by learners in the process of learning?
- As learners explore the actions they take while learning, do they believe that these actions are taken effectively and efficiently?
In other words: What are the actions? How and when are they employed? And, do they work?
By interviewing over 300 clinician learners and guiding them through a semi-structured exploration of what actions they take while consuming new information, four actions emerged:
As learners consume your educational content they acknowledge to need for 1) taking notes, 2) setting reminders, 3) conducting searches and 4) reacting to external nudges that support and guide their attention.
But importantly, how learners leverage these actions is almost completely due to convenience and habit and not trial-and-error; meaning that these actions are often unevolved and therefore the educational planner must accept that without supporting these actions the impact of their interventions is likely to fail to meet their needs.
So what should we each take away from this work? First, is the recognition that simply being smart, does not make one a skilled learner. Each of us must commit to evolving the physical actions we take as we attempt to consume new information and transfer new lessons to positive behavior changes. And second – we can't assume that just because our learners are some of the smartest folks in the world; that they are adequately equipped to effectively or efficiently learn. It is our job, as educators to create the environment in which the learning actions can be optimized.

Liquid colours can be any colour medium that comes in liquid form. It can be alcohol inks, re-inkers, stains, liquid paints, sprays, etc.
For my card, I chose sprays.
I stamped and heat embossed my silhouette sprig and sentiment, and cut the panel out with a stitched rectangle die. I popped it up on fun foam for some dimension.
I'm sending it to a friend that I exchange New Year's cards with instead of Christmas cards.
You have until January 24th to link up your card at CAS Mix Up. Be sure to use stamping, liquid colours, and at least one other option from the list on CAS Mix Up. My options are heat embossing my two stamps and die cutting my panel.

The concepts of solubility product and common ion effect play an important role in qualitative analysis for the separation of basic radicals (cations) into different groups.Weak acids and weak bases ionise in water slightly and an equilibrium is established in their solutions. For example, in the ionization of a weak base NH4OH as:
The ionization constant for the base,
If solid NH4Cl is added to the solution, the concentration of NH4+ ions increases. According to Le Chatelier's principle, the equilibrium shifts to the left. As a result, the concentration of OH- is considerably decreased and the weak base NH4OH becomes even weaker in the presence of its salt.
This is common ion effect and may be defined as the suppression of the degree of dissociation of a weak acid or a weak base by the addition of a strong electrolyte containing a common ion.
Qualitative analysis
The common ion effect is generally employed in qualitative analysis.The cations of group II (Hg2+, Pb2+, Bi3+, Cu2+, As3+, Sb3+, Sn2+) are precipitated as their sulphides (such as CuS, PbS) by passing H2S gas in the presence hydrochloric acid (Common H+ ions).
The cations of group III are precipitated as their hydroxides by NH4OH in the presence of NH4Cl.The cations of group V are precipitated as their carbonates by the addition (NH4)2CO3, in the presence of HCl.
Purification of sodium chloride
Sodium chloride obtained from sea-water or lakes is always impure. It can be purified on the basis of common ion effect as described below:The saturated solution of impure sodium chloride is prepared by dissolving in minimum quantity of water. HCl gas is then passed through this solution. The following equilibria are set up:
Due to the presence of common chloride ions, the dissociation of sodium chloride is suppressed. This is known as common ion effect. The dissociation of sodium chloride is decreased to such an extent that the ionic product of NaCl exceeds its solubility product and it is thrown down as a precipitate.
Salting out of soap
Soap is a sodium salt of higher fatty acids e.g. sodium stearate, sodium oleate etc. When soap is prepared it floats over spent lye (the residual aqueous solution containing unused alkali, glycerol etc.). A significant amount of soap remains dissolved in this solution. To recover this soap, sodium chloride is added to the boiling soap solution.The recovered soap separates out due to the common ion effect of Na+, in accordance with the reactions.
The increased concentration of Na+ in the solution due to the dissociation of NaCl, shifts the equilibrium towards left and thus soap is precipitated. The recovery of a dissolved salt by adding another salt to the solution is termed salting out.

Guest blogger Wendy Rosen, founder of the American Made Show, dispels artists' myths and misperceptions.
MYTH – The jury system is the best way to select artists.
The truth is that images alone can be misrepresented, or may not tell the whole story. Five images are not enough. My best exhibitors are those with experience in the marketplace and are good marketing partners. They are artists who have great displays as well as good work, and their work is cohesive and well merchandised.
This is why additional supporting information is necessary. Yes, we look at images, but we also look at the artist's whole business. Sometimes we have a conversation, giving feedback about why application isn't strong enough. Our goal is to help each applicant find success, even if it's down the road or for acceptance to another show.
MYTH – All booth locations are equal.
Some artists think that everyone entering a show automatically turns right. It's not necessarily true. Some artists believe that those upfront spots are the best thing. The truth is that you never let any show manager tell you that all show spaces are equal. They aren't.
All too often, a booth in the middle of the show is the best spot. A booth way in the back, near the ladies room is often the best spot, because of the amount of traffic. Show promoters now have the tools to provide you with a current up-to-the-moment floor plan if they want to. Just ask. You may be able to select your own booth when you are juried in.
MYTH – Show management will do all the marketing work; I don't have to do anything.
The truth is that if you are not a good partner, a great show can become a bad show. A bad show can become a great show if the participating artists become true partners and invite their own customers. No show promoter has the perfect list, and few attendees come on just one invitation. Most good customers or show visitors need to be invited 5-7 times before they decide to come. Call, mail, eblast… repeat.
MYTH – Complaints and suggestions won't do any good.
Whether you're upset about a neighbor selling inappropriate products, the hours of a show or location, etc., go ahead and let the management know. All show managers care about success, and success can't happen if they don't know how to create a better show next year, or next month.
It takes great relationships to create great shows. Provide constructive suggestions and improvements that will help the show draw more and better attendees. As a show manager, I want to hear what's wrong, so that I can do it better next year. And if you don't get what you need at the show, you won't come back.
MYTH – Show managers want other shows to fail.
As a show manager, I want you to succeed in every show you do, so that you can expand your business. Repeat exhibitors, and repeat buyers are the backbone of my shows, and supporting the artist's entire business is important. I can't be successful unless my artists are – at all of their shows.
Twenty years ago there were just a handful of wholesale shows. Today, artists are testing all kinds of new trade shows and wholesale opportunities… wholesaling art is growing and it's not concentrated into just one region or just in the field of art. Artists are finding success at all kinds of unusual shows and events. The demand for art in all sectors of the marketplace is growing at an amazing rate.
As the founder of The Arts Business Institute, I teach the business of art to hundreds of artists around the country each year. My biggest thrill is to help an artist solve a problem or find a path to a solution. It's why I make myself available on Facebook and by email. Helping new artists one at a time as they enter the marketplace and grow a successful business is my passion. And life doesn't get much better than that!

YMCA's Fundraising Drive Exceeds $40 Million Goal By $800K
In a down economy, it's always reassuring to hear of successful fundraising efforts, and the Greater Seattle YMCA has some great news – their recent $40 million capital campaign has not only hit its goal, but has exceeded it by over $800,000.
Here's more info from their press release:
The YMCA's historic $40 million capital campaign has successfully concluded with a total of $40.86 million in contributions. This includes prestigious challenge grants of $950,000 from The Kresge Foundation for facility construction and $1.25 million from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to grow the YMCA's endowment for camp scholarships. The campaign's success is a remarkable achievement in the current economic environment.
The campaign has enabled:
- Construction of three new YMCA facilities in some of the fastest-growing parts of King County
- Remodeling and expansion of the Central District's Meredith Mathews East Madison YMCA
- Enhancements to the YMCA's two overnight camps, Camp Orkila and Camp Colman
- Financial aid for 1,300 low-income youth annually to take part in overnight camping and outdoor environmental education programs
According to volunteer Campaign Chair Matt Griffin, "The impact of our investment in three new YMCAs, improvements to existing facilities, and an increased endowment will strengthen our entire community for generations to come.â€
Already the three new YMCA facilities – Dale Turner Family YMCA in Shoreline, Matt Griffin YMCA in SeaTac, and Coal Creek Family YMCA in Newcastle – have attracted more than 18,000 new members, many of whom have not previously had access to the range of classes, programs and services the YMCA provides. These include youth enrichment and leadership programs, health and well-being activities, on-site child care, aquatics, gymnasiums, community kitchens, nutrition programs and public meeting spaces. In addition, the new facilities are creating programs specifically geared to the ethnic communities in their neighborhoods and hiring staff who speak the languages of those communities.
Approximately 150 volunteers and 900 contributors took part in the capital campaign. YMCA President and CEO Robert B. Gilbertson, Jr. credits them with its success. "Our YMCA volunteer leaders and the hundreds of individuals and organizations they engaged as contributors are deeply committed to helping youth and families lead healthy, successful lives and building strong communities. That's what this campaign was intended to do and the results have exceeded our expectations.â€
About the YMCA of Greater Seattle:
The YMCA of Greater Seattle is a charitable, non-profit organization serving King and south Snohomish counties since 1876. Reaching more than 160,000 people annually through 12 branches, two overnight camps and more than 200 program sites, the YMCA provides a wide range of programs and services in child care, youth development, education, foster care, family support, wellness and outdoor experiences.

I have a lovely template that I bought from the good folks at Solostream called "Sublime" for Wordpress and it has cool features that I like including a slider and navigation bars. I have learned the hard way how to keep my blog template intact.
This is my Don't Rules To Keep Your Blog from a Meltdown:
1) DON'T have two widgets/gadgets of the same type active!
2) DON'T add widgets/gadgets all at once. Add one at a time, and then check to see how it affects your blog home page.
3) DON'T add widgets/gadgets without first checking on them. Go to forums or google search them. Check ratings on them.
4) DON'T cut and paste into your blog from Microsoft Word. If you don't want to retype, put the text first into Writer from Microsoft.
5) DON'T cut and paste HTML code willy nilly. For example, I needed to add the code to Google Analytics to every post to track my traffic. I put it at the top of the post and had a weird space. I wanted to add to the bottom of the post plus add my message about how to purchase items from my blog AND add ad rotate. I tried to do this with one big cut and paste. Bad idea!
As my blog melts down and I figure out the cause, I will continue to add to this list. How about you? Any advice for preventing Blog Meltdowns?

I don't think that I'm such an off-the-cuff type person. I'm not so crazy and daring.
But yesterday; yesterday was one of the those days that happen once in a blue moon for me. I'm gunna try and make it the norm.
Wait for it, wait for it....
We jumped of this wharf. In our clothes.
Well not quite. Believe me, we really were going to, but it was low tide and the water was only up to our waist. So instead we swum far out towards those mountains. But still. In our clothes.
The whole time I couldn't help wondering why we don't do this more often. And I don't just mean going swimming despite the fact that its highly overcast, we have no towel, no bikini, and lots of people are watching us. But everything and anything. Grab the freakin bull by its horns.
Because its fun. Its liberating. And its God.

It has been up for nearly 2 weeks and finishes in a few days time so I went to have a look yesterday.
We are allowed to exhibit any piece of work so I chose a pendant I made which is one of my favourites.
These are pretty grim photos as I didn't have my camera with me but by next week it will be over so I took a couple of snaps to share with you on my phone.
It's lovely to see everything set up
My card today is certainly not a wintry snow scene but something very appropriate for this Sunday, which is Father's day. It's one I made for Dotty's Teahouse and it went down very well.
I used a Mo Manning digi which I coloured with Promarkers and highlighted with Prismacolor pencil.
The stamped sentiment is by LOTV.
DP2 anything goes #264
ABC J for just how you like it
Try it on Tuesday all about him

Thanks as always for your kind visits and sweet comments you take the time to leave. I am still sorting out my fun Peppa Pig visit photos and hope to be back to share them on Friday...such a fun day out.
Back soon,
Bye for now,

Uppercase Magazine
I remember when I was in my 20's I wanted to open a wine, magazine and cake shop, because they were the things I loved the best. And then my love of things expanded and my knowledge of some things exceeded others, and so now I do know more about wool than wine or cake, but creative MAGAZINES I still fervently covet and collect, and I can spot a gem anywhere in the world even from the edge of the globe. Uppercase, "A Magazine For the Creative and Curious", I have in store , and they have written up a feature on Gather on their blog.

and the results are in...
okay so I was really wishing hard to be recommended at Japan Airlines but as my faith unfolded I will not have my OJT recommendation letter presented to the nihon people but to the malays yeah you read it right I was recommended at Malaysia Airlines in their Makati Office at Ayala Ave. After letting it sink in I steadfastly researched the basic infos about the said airline well If i'm going to spend 300 hours of my time as a trainee there I might as well get to know the company... and I was really impressed when I read some of it I never had the slightest idea that MH is the 6th placer on the top airlines of the world and is also one of the privileged airlines to get a five star status from skytrax and because of that I learned to appreciate this company that was recommended by my professors to be my training ground before I face the real world. I just hope that I will enjoy my OJT there if ever they accept me.

Just a quick little post today, just to say hello!
I'm sorry that I have been sort of Absent! I have been so busy here this week, and haven't gotten a chance to go check out peoples posts, or do any of the challenges.
I HATE IT, and I feel very lost without doing it!
I have a craft fair to be ready for on Saturday, and now that time is running out, I'm scrambling to get things finished up. I will hopefully have a post later on for my weekly Digital Stamp Oasis card, luckily I have the image colored, but now to figure out how I want to use it. =)
So it's off to work for me, and hopefully this evening I will be back with my post.
Hope you are all having a wonderful week.

I love your artwork !ReplyDelete
Even if you are a bit of a weirdo
Yo dude, I am currently writing a short fictional novel that I would love you to do some illustration on. I would pay of course. Send me your email and I'll send the details of it if you like... it's actually being produced as a play in December by a theatre company that have picked it up so could be scope for other stuff too. If you are interested at all could you send me your email address, I'll send some stuff through to you...ReplyDelete

Grenada announced last week Wednesday that it intends to revive a program that will essentially allow investors from across the globe to buy citizenship on the sparsely-populated Caribbean island known for its beaches and spice-scented forests.
The strategy is part of a growing trend in the Caribbean to drum up much-needed revenue on tiny islands struggling with massive public debt.
The nearby islands of Dominica and St. Kitts & Nevis allow investors to secure local citizenship in return for a healthy contribution or real estate investment. Cash-strapped Antigua & Barbuda is planning on launching its own program this year.
The Grenada "government will soon introduce a citizenship-by-investment program. Such programs have existed for a long time in many developed and developing countries," said Governor General Carlyle Glean during his ceremonial speech at the Wednesday opening of Parliament.
"Investor visa" or citizenship programs are offered by many nations, including the U.S. and Britain. But the Caribbean countries offer a very fast path to citizenship at a very low cost and the whole process, including background checks, can take as little as 90 days in St. Kitts. Plus, there's no need to ever live on the islands, or even visit.
Grenada's program will require approval by the legislature, which is controlled by the ruling New National Party of newly re-elected Prime Minister Keith Mitchell.
GG Glean said the government is "committed to bring appropriate legislation to Parliament for this program within its first year in office." In the meantime, officials will review other nations' citizenship-by-investment programs and decide the best way forward.
Dr. Mitchell, whose party won all of the island's 15 constituencies after trouncing the former ruling party in February elections, had previously hinted that he planned to revive a citizenship-for-cash program that was suspended after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks due to fears that local passports could mistakenly be sold to terrorists.
For about three years before it was suspended in October 2001, Grenada sold passports to investors for roughly $40,000. But Grenadian authorities quickly said the practice was too risky after the deadly attacks in the U.S. At that time, Grenada had also been placed on an international blacklist of countries considered uncooperative in fighting money laundering. It was removed from the blacklist in 2002.
Bernard Wiltshire, a former Dominica attorney general who is a prominent critic of the Caribbean's economic citizenship programs, said he was disappointed in Grenada's decision and believed Caribbean leaders who opt to sell citizenship had run out of decent ideas.
"The present crop of Caribbean leaders is among the most unimaginative group of leaders in the world," Wiltshire said Wednesday. "What they are doing with these citizenship programs at the moment is going to prepare the ground for great problems later on with our larger, powerful neighbors. And this is apart from the fact they are endangering, in my view, the long-term security and safety of the Caribbean islands."
Various critics say the revenue-boosting programs have security risks. While there are no known cases of terrorists using the islands' programs, experts say that's a possibility with many visa arrangements anywhere.
James Smith, an economist who is researching immigration issues for the nonprofit RAND Corporation, said the Caribbean programs may eventually undermine the integrity of national passports if there are significant problems.

The private equity firm Oak Hill Capital has sold part of its position in TelecityGroup, one of the leading data center and colocation service providers in Europe. Oak Hill sold 12 million shares at 500 pence last Thursday.
Oak Hill acquired its stake in Telecity in 2005, when it teamed with 3i to take the company private. After acquiring Globix Holdings and Redbus, the company went public again in October 2007 as TelecityGroup. The share price of TCY has climbed from 280 pence at its IPO to about 520 today.
Oak Hill Capital has invested in a number of companies in the data center sector, including Savvis, The Telecity Group and Cincinnati Bell. In its most recent deal in the sector, Oak Hill acquired managed hosting provider ViaWest. Robert M. Bass is the lead investor in the private equity firm, which manages more than $8 billion of committed capital.

On a feature film, it's important to understand how aspect ratio is going to affect your story, creatively and logistically. Your framing comes down to how the story wants to be told.
Fathers & Daughters
The old era of doing things is gone. You no longer need to set up a crane for an overhead shot – just pop the MōVI on a stick. Don't get stuck in the past, embrace the present, and think about the future.
Freefly has been instrumental in flipping the whole paradigm on how I shoot movies. It's not about the trick shots, it's more about figuring out how we can use this incredible device that Freefly has created, the MoVI, to shift the paradigm of how we make movies and how it change the dynamics within the movie making industry. Welcome to the future.
I wanted to nail the look of Fathers and Daughters in-camera. To do that I turned to Tiffen filtration. The 1989 is Katie's perspective from when she was 10 years old. This look had to be warm, inviting, colorful, with flares and glowing highlights. The Tiffen Antique #2 gave us this yellow, slightly aged quality to it all. The highlights were perfectly bloomed with the Glimmer Glass #1. These filters were magical and got us right where we want to be, all in-camera.
All of these rules of engagement mean being obsessed with the subtleties. In a 2 hour (plus) feature film, you're not going to see it. Rather, you're going to feel it. That's what the emotion is all about. You want to feel it in some way and not be taken out of the film because of camera work.
In this specific scene, which I shared during our last "Shane's Inner Circle" Movie Matinee, I break down a long sequence between Jake and a young Katie. We walk from Jake's desk in his home office and we capture Katie wanting attention from him as he is writing. We then track back on the Freefly MōVI M15 to keep one solid motion as we go into Katie's bedroom and find her hiding under her bed. I walk through the lighting setup and what it took to accomplish this shot. Take a look:
The past two years have been truly amazing as we continue to grow Shane's Inner Circle. Our vision becomes clearer every day, as filmmakers from all over the world have…
This was the kind of day that you look at and say, "Oh, my God, how are you going to make this as a cinematographer?"

With the halfway point of the 2015 year already here, we thought it would be a great time to go back and look at some of the favorite Hurlblog posts of the year.
Here's a look at the Hurlblog top 10 most popular blog posts of 2014.
Many of you ask, why MōVI? It comes down to the team behind the product, the support, the innovation, the forward thinking, the ability to future proof a product. Freefly Systems delivered.

I spoke at "Adobe Tips and Flicks" in 2012 about "out of the box" filmmaking with the Canon 5D MkII on Act of Valor.

Because if there is one thing my Self Stitched September needs, it's blue booty shorts!
After changing my mind several times about including some work out wear of the self stitched variety I discovered that I actually needed a new pair of track pants. I pulled out my mountain of fleecy interlock and had a sweats sewing day! I made pants, because I need them for house work days, and walking the dog, and generally being comfortable. I also made running shorts, because they're cute, and silly, and I think my trainer will get a giggle out of them.
I do love a bit of instant gratification! Both are from this Simplicity pattern, again borrowed from my mum. I love multi size patterns, so much easier to draft up a couple of sizes!

Let Congress Vote on Iraq War III• http://original.antiwar.com
But a team of Marines and Special Forces that helicoptered in has reported back that, with a corridor off the mountain opened up by U.S. air strikes, the humanitarian crisis is over. The few thousand who remain can be airdropped food and water. The rest can be brought out.
The emergency over, President Obama should think long and hard about launching a new air war in Iraq or Syria. For Iraq War III holds the promise of becoming another Middle East debacle, and perhaps the worst yet.
America would be entering this war utterly divided. We are not even agreed on who the enemies are. Hillary Clinton thinks we should be tougher on Iran and that Obama blundered by not aiding the Syrian rebels when they first rose up to overthrow President Bashar Assad.
Veteran diplomats Ryan Crocker, William Luers and Thomas Pickering argue that Assad is not the real enemy. The Islamic State is, and we should consider a ceasefire between the Free Syrian Army and Assad.

The objective of the solitaire is to put all cards in four foundations above the screen in the ascending order. You are to put the cards in four foundations in suit from Ace to King. For this you can use a deck on the left and seven card lines. Three cards, which are drawn from the deck at a time, can be put either on four foundations or on seven opened cards in the seven lines. Black cards there should be followed by red ones and vice verse in the descending order by their rank. If any of the seven lines becomes free it can be taken only by King. To send all available cards to the foundations you can press autofinish. Play the most popular card game!

I've seen so many projects lately for these cute little pumpkins. I want to keep them around for as long as possible this season, so I didn't want to cut them up. But I wanted to add a little something to them to help decorate our apartment for the fall. It only took about ten minutes total and you only need a few things to do it!
paintbrush, any kind of clear-drying glue, fine glitter, pumpkins, and it helps to have something to catch the glitter in
Just pain some glue evenly onto the stem, cover with glitter, then shake off the extra.
There you go! A super quick, super cute way to decorate your pumpkins and keep them a long time, too.

The 2013 softball season has started, Amelia is in 3rd grade and it's the first year they have gotten pants. I always wondered why the boys got pants and the girls got shorts. I guess they figure girls do not slide? But at this age and younger no one slides. They got the pants and shorts, I'm sure the shorts will get worn more because it will get too hot very soon.
She picked a new number this year. She had been #3 the past few years. I think she picked it becuase that's my favorite number, I was always #3 when I played soccer. When they were picking the numbers this year she asked Pops if it was ok that she changed her number. She thought I would be hurt that she did not want #3 anymore. It's so sweet of her to think of me, but I want her to do her own thing...
Go #5!!!!!
This year they start kid pitching to each other and they get 3 outs. No more swings until you hit it. It's neat to watch the kids pitch but it sure does make for a slow moving game. Good thing it's timed and cut off at an hour and a half... otherwise they might be playing a nine inning game for three days!

After watching Kodomo no Jikan and (some romance H-ovas), I wonder if someone can rewrite a little bit of IS plot like how if Ichika was the world champion and works in IS academy as a teacher (so a little bit older than the cast) and the harem are his students. xD
It's also possible for Houki and Rin to still remain his osana najimis if the age gap is not too wide and if you want to include Chifuyu as a possessive imouto (wow, role reversal) is good. At least...(hopefully) you won't get a dense protagonist if he is older and more mature than the cast.
Actually, I might get somewhere with this!

Yeah but I only intended to have 2 weirdoes with them so... Better not?
*runs around screaming*
- UK, France and China are confirmed to have personal IS reps.
- Russia and US both have reps; Russia having hired a Japanese girl (light novel) and the US being the student with the personal IS in Class 1-3 mentioned in the 2nd/3rd episode of the anime. It is highly likely they would become part of Ichika's harem.
That means all of the permanent members of the UNSC have been represented in the Ichika Harem.
Following that pattern, that leaves just 4 other countries with nukes: Israel, India, Pakistan, and North Korea. I've already argued that the author conveniently replaced India and Pakistan with Germany and Japan (now part of the Ichika Harem), and it can be argued that Phantom Task represents the Kim Dynasty (which is waiting to be added into the harem per light novel).
Therefore, I decided to represent Israel with my own country (which shares so many parallels with Israel it ain't funny), Singapore. To break the pattern so far, I made Karon an imouto-type character who has a non-sexual relationship with Ichika, his "little sister not related by blood". This is part of the character building done under my main fic, [IS: Shooting Star].
The hilarious other parallel is that there are enough girls (current and potential) for Ichika to star in Amagami SS; again I parodied that with my romance-centric side story, [Infinite Stratos: SS].
You should notice that both titles [IS: Shooting Star] and [Infinite Stratos: SS] are plays on each other.
~~~New Intelligence Data Updated~~~
Well... Shit. The Alaska Treaty dictates that any technology developed for IS must be shared with the rest of the world. It was a thinly disguised method of ensuring that Japan could not pull another White Knight on them, but at the same time it screws with what the other nations can do with the technology. The Treaty allows entities to keep their technology secret until the first field test, and allows all research and testing to be done on neutral territory, which is the ISA, without having to reveal such details. Mass-production still requires a complete audit of the technology however.
All that bull renders all our parading of super prototypes null and void, not to mention blows a big hole in my Yggdrastratos core energy collection system being a guarded recipe.
There's the other problem that the Merlion even in her current state is still too powerful for the arena, considering how quickly Laura went down. However, the VT system showed that IS can remodel themselves, which gives me the avenue to better conceal the Shooting Star IS when they are flying their covert missions.
I'll be reworking Karon's profile this weekend to take into account the newly discovered restrictions as well as her new looks. For the current Merlion will become the covert face of the unit. I'd have to redo the Yggdra system and desociate them from IS as well, so this 3.5G schtick would just mean late 3rd Gen IS model rather than some lolscience power supply that uses a person's brain and willpower as energy.

As a rule of thumb, he's basically a genre savvy Kamina, who succeeds most of the time and pumps the melodrama into everything he sees, including affairs as mundane as going to the bathroom. To him, there is apparently some value of character or plot development in everything.
Now, from a more objective standpoint, Ray's true talent can said to be that whatever he sets his mind to, he accomplishes not because of luck alone, but through extensive preparation and information gathering. When you already get to the burning bridge, it's too late for plans that's why you have to plan ahead, so when the crisis hits, all you have to do punch it with all your strength and press forward. Yeah?
Do I expect him to die? Hell yes, but not before making it to the Final Five and passing on his will to someone else, and only then going out in a blaze of glory against ridiculous odds. Cue Badass Creed:
"Molōn labe!" ~ "Come and take them!" attributed to King Leonidas I of Sparta, for obvious reasons.
Would I be surprised he survives? Very.

With the simple name of "Kamina" in my mind, I had the utmost intention to kill him in a fiery death of agonizingly ridiculous baddassery.
But not before taking out at least 3 A-AIS in one swipe.
I'll take your description to heart. Anyone else?

It says that the ISA is the only one place where entities can flaunt their technology w/o global disclosure- so all those super prototypes can still be there- only when their tech is passed on to general use does it need to be disclosed.

Would you want to include my own Stoic half psycho boy Hikari Alex?
He might be fitting as he's in a dark organization that likes to put its nose everywhere something fishy happens...
You might need to put some references to Lyn though, as the reason why he can drive that IS of his is largely linked to her.
Aliens ftw!
Chapter 3 is STILL in the works, although around 75% complete. World Of Tanks has been making me busy again...

I'd throw my OCs in, but as I said earlier, Shooting Star would only be ready for aliens at the end of Infinite Stratos, after they've gotten all their plots done and mid season upgrades broken into.
That's about... 3 years from canon present.
They can be used now anyway, Sherry, Marina, Hokusui, Three and Karon, just that they won't be as awesomesauce as later.
Quick patch to Karon's profile, now that I found an image fitting of her. And yes, the Orimura Imouto is strong with this one.

At least we know that the timeline before the release of IS has already deviated as a result, with the tech level of the world already higher than ours by a certain amount. That's should ease off some fire on me.
~~~New Intelligence Data Updated~~~
Karon has been completely overhauled.
Most of the character building bits are the same, with a bit more info about Kha-nyan's catty habits. Her photo has changed to fit the Orimura little sister role better. (I also discovered that the profile already specifies her having short hair, but somehow I shopped a pic with long hair. Oops. ) As the short hair resulted from a particularly nasty fight later in the story, so any fanart drawn with her with long hair is still accurate.
As promised earlier, I reworked the sneaky mass production technology so as not to clash with the Alaska Treaty (and included a jibe at the water issue. )
The IS design on the other hand has been completely redone, and the result is a simple suit can fits Karon's bill better. It allows me to have both the beamspam cake and eat the kungfu cake.
Btw, if you notice any "Imouto Imouto" (I used Find and Replace function) please let me know.
So that means Termie you're going to need to reevaluate the I-Type Vandam Imouto.

The grey colored hair was because of my limited shopping ability. I wanted to turn it black from the start, but I failed to do successfully...
You could always shade the original color black? Sorry...

Yeah I could do that without problems.. but it pains me to change my pictures. Call it "artist's pride".
Actually I wanted to write "car accident" but I thought I stay a little Sci-Fi...
I'm not 100% sure but I think Terminator was making a KimiNozo reference.

Ok.. I've decided that I'd change Sophia's unit so that it's more unique and not an amalgation of Haruka's and Sarah's units...
Also, Alex's newest Harem entry is coming up soon, should post em when I wake up (plus complete exlpanation about the plasma stuff and how it works. Should also get a sneak shot of the OD-EXIS-02 Samael.)

My 3 year old begged and begged to have her room painted orange. So we fell for it when she would ask in her cute little voice and look at us with those beautiful brown eyes. And you know what? I just love the color we chose. I am grateful that you can't really tell that it is a shower curtain I used for her window treatment.

Garden Update
A facebook friend asked me to print some pictures of my garden, so I will oblige. This is a picture of my corn that I took from the road. In the background is my barn, where I have my workshop and the upper part serves as storage and believe me my daughters have stored their stuff in there for years. I might have to charge storage fees to supplement old-age funds, but we all know that won't happen. I had a weather vane on top of the barn but the big birds attacked it and destroyed it. I may replace it in time!
Also in the background is my daughters trailer and my Purple-Martin birdhouses. My corn did come up spotty but what did come up looks fairly decent in my opinion. I suppose I could say "in retrospect, I should have been a poet or a farmer." This is the best corn I've had in years. We are having a heat spell, but corn does well in this kind of weather. When the rest of us are crying around for water and air-conditioning, corn goes on and on. My cucumbers, tomatoes, and tators have done well also. I have no complaints and I'm satisfied with whatever I get out of my humble garden. We've lived in our house for 34 years and part of my contract with my wife is that I take care of the yard. In fact, here is a picture with a view of my yard and garden in the distance. I enjoy planting, growing and seeing if I can improve my yard every year. When I get abit older, maybe I can watch my grandchildren do all the work I do now and I can sit under a shade tree and tell lies to some innocent visitor!

Rockalily Style - Should I dress glam every day?/
Today I had a personal conflict......which oddly I also ended up talking to someone on twitter about too. A lovely tweeter mentioned that they didn't know how I had the energy and drive to look good every day. Now, I definitely don't agree that I look 'good' every day, but yes, I do make effort each and every day.
I believe that when I've put a basic level of effort into my appearance, I leave the house feeling better. I have more confidence, and perhaps more of a spring in my step. I'm ready to take on the world, with a smile.
However today, I'm wearing one of my 'lazy' outfits. The skirt is a tad big, but its soft and comfy, and easy. I wear bandanas to make casual outfits look more 'put together'.
Yes, I felt fine today, but just fine. Here arrives my conflict. Part of me thinks I shouldn't have casual or easy days.
It takes the same amount of time to get dressed in something kick arse, as it does to put on jeans and a t-shirt.
So, do I get ultra strict with myself and lose the 'casual' and 'blah' clothes from my wardrobe....do I lose this outfit because it just feels fine, not amazing?
Do I become someone who wears amazing dresses each and every day?
How do your outfits make you feel?

Manchester United are tracking Juventus midfielder Claudio Marchisio, according to the Metro. The Italian international has made 35 starts in all competitions this season, scoring eight goals and creating five others. It is believed Sir Alex Ferguson will bid up to £20m for the 27-year-old.
Marchisio will boost the Old Trafford club's central midfield options, with the cupboard rather bare in that section of the park. Veterans Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs, as excellent as they are, cannot last a full season without rotation and Darren Fletcher continues to struggle with his bowel condition. Brazilian midfielder Anderson has struggled to establish himself in the side and will likely move on in the summer; he has a £6m price tag on his services.
As a result, the Italian is likely to be offered a five-year contract worth £120,000 per week, an agreement the Bianconieri may find difficult to top and the player hard to ignore. Nevertheless, United do have their work cut out. Marchisio is contracted to Juventus till 2016 and the Serie A champions are well on their way to regaining their place among the elite of European football, with a big-money swoop for Real Madrid trio Angel di Maria, Gonzalo Higuain and Karim Benzema, according to talkSPORT.
Ferguson recently admitted he was not considering a large-scale revamp of his playing squad and was only planning for two additions. Nevertheless, the Scot does have considerable transfer funds at his disposal and with rivals Chelsea, Manchester City and even Arsenal reportedly planning an expensive summer, the Premier League champions may be pushed into spending themselves.
Chris Smalling on Season
Meanwhile, United centre-back Chris Smalling has admitted frustration at the lack of game time. The 23-year-old has made only 15 league appearances in an injury-riddled season.
"It's a bit of frustration because I didn't really get going until November and I had a few little niggling injuries, so I've not been out on the field as much as I would have liked. But the team success has been very good and I've been able to contribute something to that. Ultimately it's about the team and the club," he told the club's Web site.
