Ability Estimation Under Different Item Parameterization and Scoring Models
Description: A Monte Carlo simulation study investigated the effect of scoring format, item parameterization, threshold configuration, and prior ability distribution on the accuracy of ability estimation given various IRT models. Item response data on 30 items from 1,000 examinees was simulated using known item parameters and ability estimates. The item response data sets were submitted to seven dichotomous or polytomous IRT models with different item parameterization to estimate examinee ability. The accuracy of the ability estimation for a given IRT model was assessed by the recovery rate and the root mean square errors. The results indicated that polytomous models produced more accurate ability estimates than the dichotomous models, under all combinations of research conditions, as indicated by higher recovery rates and lower root mean square errors. For the item parameterization models, the one-parameter model out-performed the two-parameter and three-parameter models under all research conditions. Among the polytomous models, the partial credit model had more accurate ability estimation than the other three polytomous models. The nominal categories model performed better than the general partial credit model and the multiple-choice model with the multiple-choice model the least accurate. The results further indicated that certain prior ability distributions had an effect on the accuracy of ability estimation; however, no clear order of accuracy among the four prior distribution groups was identified due to an interaction between prior ability distribution and threshold configuration. The recovery rate was lower when the test items had categories with unequal threshold distances, were close at one end of the ability/difficulty continuum, and were administered to a sample of examinees whose population ability distribution was skewed to the same end of the ability continuum.

I'm a designer by trade, not an illustrator, but I do like to draw and even dabble in screenprinting. I've been wanting to explore doing digital prints for awhile now, so this class seemed perfect. For the assignment, I decided to do a feather. I have a rougher, simpler style than a lot of the artists in this class, as you'll see.
I started by sketching out some ideas:
I decided to work with the second one, because I thought it'd lend itself to being colorized the best. I'll probably revisit the 3rd and 4th ones, too. One of them will likely end up in my screenprinting shop.
But anyway! On to scanning and vectorizing and colorizing. The progression:
And here's the final one:
I ended up adding painterly strokes to the colored shapes because I wanted to give it just a touch of the feel of a watercolor. This one won't be made into a print I don't think, but as an exercise on a spare afternoon I'm quite pleased with how it turned out.
What do you think?


text: I'm going to let you in on my little secret...I love to scour the thrift stores to find "secret treasures!" I take my boys with me, and they love it. (Well, if I keep it under 1 hour, anyway) Here I will share my latest "scores" and what I make with them!

Poor Abujamaiden had to endure almost 2 hours of advance moaning. At first I thought the folk next door were just watching a movie but NO, they weren't. I could hear the TV and I could hear human beings both of them.
Just plain torture, and shock 'biko' I've never heard these things. I'm fortunate to have lived around discreet, private beings so I had to leave the room and forfeit my Sunday afternoon nap. I joined some freshmen girls to watch X-men in the common room. I wanted to call the room's land line (lucky them I didn't find the number), or knock on the door (we're allowed to knock to tell neighbours to shush-it).
I text boo to inform him about my afternoon and he either was too slow to understand or he didn't want us talking about some one's sex life. Parasitic I must say since they deprived me of my fundamental human right to sleep after church service.
I love my privacy too much now I have to look at this girl in class and in the dorm with only moaning sounds playing in my head.
I have to sleep early now due to lack of napping.
They are currently still making noise (5hours later) but only laughing with the TV on. I have to find out who the guy coming to my dorm to disrupt my sleep is. In fact, I'm gonna knock on the door and give it to them 9ja style.
***Update: They resumed moaning an hour after I finished typing this post. I got the room number and called. Imagine the guy picked after it rang 6 times. I could even hear the phone ringing. I interrupted the mugus and told them to "reduce the volume please." Just when I stepped outside to drink water, the guy came out from her room in his boxers (you can't co-habit after midnight in my dorm). And the fish head just looked like he was playing video games.
Have a blessed week everyone.

L-word Update...I'm in LOVE with
Blogville is my love oh! I decided to do this post as a response to some of the comments I got from the last post on Love and its definition. I'm not eager for boo to say he loves me neither do I think I'm in love with him talk less of saying what other 'small-girls' have said to him. A blogger once commented saying that I was in love hence the motivation to post on the dilemma surrounding the L-word.
My response to most of the comments is in bold. Feel free to continue commenting.
Riri said...
aww,,the L word shall come when the time is right! and you're right people just say they love other people just to feel mature its all lust..lolxx
Yea, its lust I guess. Whenever the time is right
doll said...
any guy that says I luv u within 6 months of meeting me/ dating me is disqualified….d longer it takes 2 say it d surer I am, that u mean it wen u say it…so savor d anticipation of d moment
We've been dating for over a year. I'm not even ready for it. The right time, please,better not be now. I have a degree to complete.
soul child said...
don't worry he would say it...as long as he cares about u and is not messing up...saying i love u is not just an obligation ..ppl think because their in a relationship..they have to say it even if they dont mean it...the L word is losing its authenticity...
Like I said in my post, I was wondering why I wasn't rushing to say I loved him when his girlfriend (when he was 17-18 years) and she was like 16 told him she loved him and here I am. He's now over 21 and I'm not feeling love like his teenage ex.
aloted said...
Hmm...gosh this post just brought back some teenage "He loves me, he loves me not" memories! Ok first of all I don't blame him for not saying the L word immediately because that word has been debased in some many ways. At the same time I don't expect him to rub it in your face that "I wont be saying the L word any time soon so don't hold your breath". I want to believe he is not doing that. My definition of love can be found in 1cor 13. Love can reveal itself in different forms but the foundation from 1cor 13: 4-8 should be there.Actions surely speaks louder than words, so as long as his actions are showing he loves and respects u...don't sweat it...the words will come later. The L word should come without fear...There is no fear in love.Also did u say you were under 21...you are still very young so take your time in this love matter cuz u still have many many more years to love. Guard your heart. Make friends, face your studies and have hobbies and be close to God. I am glad both of you are keeping yourselves till you get married…that way if it does not work out all is not lost.Question for you- if he says I love u today (I also don't recommend u saying it first) would u be able to say I love u too back to him. Ok this comment is becoming very long…..God bless!
God Bless you madam Aloted. The post was more of a question. I stated how i felt about him, many of my friends would just say "you love him," but I won't admit it (I can't believe now is the time for love). I just wanted someone to tell me that my opinion was right that I could really care about someone, share the same beliefs as them, be their friend and NOT love them (except girlfriends and family).
I have a huge head on my body so school comes first, If i didn't care about him so much, I'd rather we weren't dating until I finished with school. He's mature and very responsible, and a great friend. Love can wait.
He wasn't really rubbing it in my face that was like 3yrs ago we weren't a serious couple. He was explaining that he won't throw the word at me or anyone because Love is what you feel for only one person. I was fresh outta secondary school then and I'm actually happy he told me that.
If he tells me he loves me, I wouldn't say it back 'now.'
Funms-the rebirth said...
Aloted has said everything........ I'm sure when hes ready, he'll say it.... don't stress about it... enjoy what u guys r sharing now
I'm enjoying what we have which is puppy love. Sha, I'm not anxious. Dude should just wait until I graduate/ get a life so I don't quit school now because Love is shacking me.
Teeee said...
I agree with you that love is a feeling but it also stands the test of time. Furthermore, love is natural -maybe you're relationship still has to grow. Are you sure he said it and you weren't listening?
Teeee, na wa oh! No he didn't say it. When we first took a break he said he thought he was in love with someone (fit the puzzle he meant me) but our relationship is still growing so I hope he didn't say it.
Beyond said...
I think love is more about the feeling n action rather than the word of the mouth. I will prefer a say say the L-word when he actually means it rather than saying it cos that's what he's expected or suppose to say...Have a great weekend.
At least if there's a teeny bit of love in me, I won't screw up by admitting or even saying it even if he's said it already. I also wrote that it was the actions that mattered not the words in the post (so you're right).
yankeenaijababe said...
Love is when he gives you the last sushi or meat on his plate. How about that. You know every guy loves food and if he is willing to give you the last...he he he. You have found a good thing. Did that help?Enjoy every moment spent with each other... the LOVE thing would just pop.
Unfortunately, I don't eat sushi (hehehe).
Original Mgbeke said...
Ah, me I no sabi wetin Love be o. I've never really experienced it.I think it will come in it's own time...no rush am.
Temite said... Me sef dont know what Love is o dear. I guess love is when you really look out for the person more than anyone else. We're in the same shoes. I'm not anxious to experience love. I have enough time.
I can totally relate. I'm experiencing the 'puppy' version.
Rita said...
Aloted took some words out of my fingers:-) Love is deep. It is one of the sweetest things to imagine and experience. It comes in different forms and it is in everyone (in different degrees) because we are of God who is Love.You can read more about love in some of these links: http://preparingforurking.blogspot.com/2008/09/reciprocity-iii.html http://erolyrics.blogspot.com/2008/07/love-for-season.html
Off to read....
Writefreak said...
Hmmm...i agree the L word has been over used and overrated, people claim to be in love all the time then they say they've fallen out of love...real love endures the test of time. Ok as a married person this is what i would say love is, a commitment, a knowing in your heart that this is the person i want to be with all my life and doing all you can to protect the relationship> Read 1Corinthains 13 and you will get a clear definition of love,the God kinda love, so long as you have those evident in your relationship, then you can confidently say you're in love..Love never fails and it overcomes all trials...yeah it does.
I'm glad you have agreed to keep yourself till marriage, I don't hear a lot of that these days, some of us did make that decision and we haven't regretted it one bit..please don't yield to pressure.
Ok, if you're under 21 as you say, i'd say just take things easy, meet other people (although i met my husband when i was 19 in uni, we were in school together and we dated from our year 3 for 6 and half years till we got married)...
Thanks Writefreak. I hope I can stick to my promise and that I won't regreat it, I shouldn't! Boo actually tried to explain love to me with those same verses. 6.5 years? and you waited that long? Niceeee! We've heard it from a married person oh!
Love you all.

Happy New Maiden
I still don't like the word 'maiden'...hehe. I'm getting used to it though.
I thesaurus-ed synonyms of 'virgin' and it came up and since my blog was just about the aspect of celibacy, love, guys and relationships, I stuck with the virgin theme hence Maiden!
Happy New Year everyone. I'm not a resolution maker but I've decided to work on my time management: there is a time to study, time to blog, time to watch tv, time to play and even more time to study (again).
My academics are definitely a priority this year 2009. I want spiritual growth in my relationship with God and want to have a better attitude towards/ relationship with other. I want my family to be closer. I adore my boo and want our relationship to be stronger and 'less distracting.' I need to manage my finances better, I want to travel more, exercise more, and explore more diverse subjects (contestants on Who wants to be a millionaire and Jeopardy didn't fall from the sky. Educate yourselves people).
I changed my template (wooohooo!) which deleted my blog list and counter (hisssss!) but its a New Year so what the heck? Embrace change. I'll re-do my blog listing.
Thank you all for reading my blog and supporting my decision of purity until marriage. I feel like I have a stronger support group on blogville than in 'reality' where folk don't talk about celibacy with pride. I will keep blogging and try and be more personal hopefully no one busts me with an 'I know you!' If anyone does, I'll....*&^%%$$##* ok, I'll just cry. So even if you think you know me, don't say.
My next post is on the L-word...LOVE!!
I think I need to love more and be less of a hater in 2009 (see, everyone is a hater in their own way trust me, I'm not a monster...hehe)
HAPPY NEW YEAR FULL OF GOD'S BLESSINGS!!! May we be blessed according to his will and live our lives to glorify him in every way possible.
Abuja Maiden.....ouch!

Most GP users are familiar with the SOP-to-POP integration with which you can easily create a PO from a Sales Order. However I'm guessing that most users don't know that a similar function exists with which you can easily create PO's for a large number of sales documents at one time.
This is how you do it:
Navigate to the Sales Inquiry Restrictions screen: Inquiry >> Sales >> Restrict Sales Documents.
Create a range to select all the sales documents you want to be considered when creating PO's. You can create a new one or use an existing inquiry.
Click on the "Inquiry" button.
This screen will pop up that shows all the sales documents selected.

Rappers in 2010 don't know what the 'F' to do. They are being let down by the first president they actually went to the voting polls for, and they are speechless. In fact, their silence is consent. Isn't it great to know that of all presidents, Obama is the one who finally shut these foul-mouthed-usually-criminals the hell up! Ha! Gotta love that!
Sometimes (OK – most of the time), I just can't help wishing that musicians would shut up about politics. Either they stand blindly behind a disaster like Obama (Paul McCartney, Jimmy Buffet, and way too many others) out of sheer determination that what they believe can never be wrong, or else they blather on about topics of which they have no understanding. The worst, of course, is when you are stuck in the audience and some rock star rambles on while you are forced to listen as a member of a captive audience. The latest "shut-up-and-sing-already" moment comes from controversial rapper/rude girl M.I.A.
If, according to Kanye West, "George Bush doesn't care about black people," then according to M.I.A., Barack Obama has forgotten black people even exist. But rather than actually criticize the disaster of a president, she stays away from accusing him of being a total failure. When Obama won the Nobel Prize, M.I.A. tweeted that he should give it back, like John Lennon did. But that's been the extent of her reality check on the president she had so much faith in once upon a time. By the way, she's not even American, so she should just get over it and focus on fixing the rest of the depressing world.
This on camera interview illustrates just what is meant when people say that the answers you get depend upon the questions you ask. Before I go off on what an indifferent, ill-informed political activist M.I.A. is, let me just say that the West-Coast Hip Hop expert (DJ Skee) who interviews her kind of takes the lead in the race to see who is slowest between the two.
For the record, the interview was held at Skee.TV. Their website claims that Skee.TV is "the premier lifestyle content platform and production company in the market." Content? Good one, DJ Skee. I wouldn't be surprised if CNN replaced Larry King with this genius.

I decided that I'm not going to do the string quilt for the MQG Block Party. First of all, I need a lot of blocks. And I just remebered that I'm going to need it finished by the beginning of November. The Block Party won't be over by then so I'd be screwed for the charity event. So I'm going to work on the string blocks myself next week and do something more interesting for the Block Party....
I'm going to make L-O-V-E blocks/quilt inspired by the Rumspringa quilt on Lazy Gal Quilting's blog... using these fabrics I ordered from Pink Chalk...I ordered two of the Bits & Pieces Scrap Bags....solids, sorbet colors. I figured that going with the "you get what you get and don't throw a fit" method of fabric selection was quite modern. :-)
I have been sewing on my Dad's cabin quilt. I have a goal of finishing the top by Father's Day...it has only been in the works for about 6 months now....This is my first "real" day off from school--at least I didn't lay in bed all day!! Happy Sewing...

Those colors are fun! I was thinking of solids, but I who knows what I will end up with! I better figure it out soon, though!ReplyDelete
I love your new block party quilt idea. I haven't made any decisions yet on mine. So much planing. I'm not used to that! You're just going to be a sewing fool now that you are off school. Have fun.ReplyDelete
Oh, WOW! I went and looked at the quilt... AMAZING! Your quilt is going to look awesome! : )ReplyDelete
I've got a Bliss layercake collecting dust over here, and think that maybe I have finally decided for sure that I might use it. Possibly. : )

Having trained as a nurse at UWE and worked at Frenchay as a Staff Nurse from 2000-2004, Vicki McCool (88-95C) moved, in 2004, to Oss, Holland, her partner Marc's home town. She now works as a Critical Care Nurse at UMC Hospital in Nijmegen and has become a fluent speaker of Dutch (or 'hurdy-gurdy' as she's renamed it) to the extent that she frequently speaks Dutch automatically, making family phone calls confusing at times! On April 26th James Perry (93-00F) wrote with news that he would be getting married on the 29th April 2011 to Kate Naylor. We hope they had a wonderful wedding day, and look forward to further updates and photos of the happy day! Richard Screech (94 – 01B) writes with news of his recent wedding to Rhona Gibson on 26 March 2011 at St Mary's church in Dalmahoy, Scotland. Richard is a QC senior analyst with Actavist and keeps his cricketing skills honed playing for North Devon and Newton Tracey cricket clubs (Aha! Your name's now down in a little black book for next year's OWBA cricket match, Richard! –Ed). Rhona is a financial administrator with Parkwood Leisure and plays hockey for Taw Valley Ladies. Douglas and Rachel Mugambi (nee Williams 96-03F) wrote with news of the birth of their second son – George Owen – born on 19th Feb weighing 8lbs 9oz. Congratulations to Mum, Dad, and baby George! We look forward to further updates about you all. And congratulations also to Mary Screech (96 – 03B) who married Tony Napoli on 23 May 2011 in Florida! The couple was married on Sunset Beach by close friend Mia Molek. They met while Mary was working at The Heron Supported Living in Marathon, Florida. Tony is a chef at The Hurricaine in Marathon. He's also a musician and plays in several local bands. We recently received news of the death of RL Needham (left 1938C). If anyone has any reminiscences and/or photographs of Mr. Needham please contact us. Robert Maddock (1943-1947C) passed away on 3rd July in St Mary's Hospital on St Mary's, Isles of Scilly. Mr John Thorpe (1942-50C) passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family, in the Severn Hospice on 26th April after a long battle with cancer. An obituary for John is below.
John Thorpe (1942-50C) John was born on 20th January 1932 in Pinner, in north-west London. During the Second World War his family evacuated to Devon. It was as a boarder at WB that John discovered a love of sport, and in particular running. Having taken part in the school's runs, including the infamous Exmoor, John was hooked and running became an important part of his life. Upon leaving school, John joined the RAF, serving for 3 years in Bomber Command. The RAF soon recognised his talent for running, assigning him to the safe haven of the motor pool. When the Korean War broke out, John was told to remain behind at base as he was such an important member of a sports team that regularly beat the other forces teams! John returned to civilian life in 1953 and, deciding to use his RAF experience, went to work at the de Havilland Aircraft factory in Hatfield. He soon left the factory floor for what was to become his true calling, the insurance industry, where he became an expert in large company claims. His spare time was spent competing for St Albans City Athletic Club in cross-country, road races and on the track. He was soon making headlines in the local sports press. In June 1955, John was invited to compete, as a last minute substitute, at a special track event in Paddington – the attempt to break the unofficial world record for 1.5 miles. The great Gordon Pirie broke the world record by 5 seconds. John, described by the national press as, "an unknown insurance clerk from St Albans", also broke the world record and went on to Represent England and Great Britain several times. You can see the race at: www.britishpathe.com In 1959, the focus of John's life changed when he met and married Dilys Morgan, who he met at his local church group. Over the next 10 years the couple had 3 daughters. John enjoyed greatly being a 'hands-on father'. Life revolved around his young family, but John didn't give up his running. He remained dedicated to running, and went on to serve the St Albans running community in many ways, eventually becoming a middle distance coach for young athletes. He was also involved in the Insurance Athletics Association organising events, and serving as committee treasurer. After their daughters had grown up, John and Dilys moved to Albany House, Clun, having fallen in love with the house at first sight. Both John and Dilys soon became involved in the community. In 1999 John joined the Memorial Hall Committee, giving to it the time and enthusiasm he once applied to his running, and ended up the chairman for the last 4 years. If John couldn't be found at home, he was usually to be found at the hall, with Megan the dog at this side, opening up for people, putting out chairs, and generally looking after the place. John's family and friends will remember him as a quiet, industrious man, who could never stay still for long, whose consideration for others was overriding. He faced cancer with stoicism and remarkable patience. He passed away peacefully at Severn Hospice surrounded by family and friends.

A fierce battle over whether to preserve or demolish a 19th-century Minneapolis house that has fallen into disrepair ended Friday with a City Council vote allowing the demolition to proceed.
The house, located on 24th Street and Colfax Avenue in the Wedge neighborhood, was built more than 120 years ago by master builder T.P. Healy. Following several fires, the inside has been converted into a rooming house with 16 units.
Developer Michael Lander wants to build a 45-unit apartment building on the site.
Friday's action comes almost exactly a year after the City Council voted that the building did meet the definition of a historic resource. After that, owner Michael Crow submitted an application to demolish a historic resource in 2014, which was what the council acted on Friday.
City staff recommended allowing demolition after studying the house and finding that extensive alterations made preservation exceedingly difficult. It has been dubbed the "Orth house" because it was inhabited by the son of a prominent brewer.
"This is not about the city ordering a demolition," said Council Member Elizabeth Glidden. "This is about what are the rights of a property owner who has said this is what he wishes to do with his property."
But the notion of demolishing such an old house has stirred neighborhood and preservation activists.
Nicole Curtis, host of HGTV's "Rehab Addict" and a resident of the area, has drawn further attention to the project through social media. Her followers have flooded council members with messages this week.
Curtis brought a cameraman to City Hall Friday and began yelling loudly in a hallway — while wearing a wireless microphone — after the council's 11-2 vote approving demolition. "That's not green," she shouted at Lander as he walked toward an exit.
Curtis and others have highlighted the amount of waste that will be generated by demolishing the building. She noted that a council member is seeking to ban Styrofoam containers.
"Styrofoam containers are 4.4. grams of waste," she said. "It takes 36 million Styrofoam containers to equal the waste that the council has just voted for them to put into the ground with the Orth project."
Curtis has offered $400,000 to purchase the property. A document submitted to the city shows Crow is asking $600,000 for it, however.
T.P. Healy designed about 140 houses in the Minneapolis area, many of which are still standing. A grouping of Healy houses just off the northbound 31st Street off-ramp of Interstate 35W is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Council Member Blong Yang, who voted against demolition, said he was disappointed with the personal attacks against Council Member Lisa Bender, who represents the area. He added that the vote cannot be reduced to being "pro-density" or "pro-preservation."
But, he said, an offer was made that would save the house. "There was an offer," Yang said. "The offer wasn't as great as the other offer [from Lander], but it was a pretty reasonable offer under the circumstances."
Council Member Cam Gordon, who voted that the property was a historic resource in 2013, said there has been extensive time to nominate the property so it could be studied for potential historic designation. But that nomination never occurred.
"We need to be able to have a more forward-thinking view of how we manage what we think might be historic resources, and figure those things out before we get stuck in the middle of a big fight over it," he said. "Legally, if it's not a historic resource, I just feel obligated that we have to allow it to go forward."

Insulin and weight gain
I am on humalog and levimere along with oral meds I have been gaining weight since being on humalog and now even more once levimere was added. Anyone else experiencing weight gain using these meds?
18 replies
Since being switched from oral insulin to injectable type of Humalog (22 units + sliding scale, + carb count) and Lantus (100 units), I've gained 50 pounds in the last six years. Some folks will gain the pounds from using it and there's just not much one can do except portion control, carb control, and excercise. This didn't help me at all. My doc put me on Victoza and I've used this for a year. It is suppose to help one's sugar get lower and it did this very well, but the side effect of losing weight by most who take it didn't happen for me. In a year I gained 5 pounds! I'm right now the heaviest I've ever been at 275. Insulin is a hormone.
You are not alone! I am sick of these doctors. I feel like I am fighting this battle all on my own. In 8 years I am on my 3rd endrocrynologist. They tell you to lose weight and I am not .heavy. Can I afford to lose some weight yes, but why put people on meds that cause weight gain, when you need to lose it. I could neverm under stand this.
Adding insulin often means adding weight unfortunately. Doing as much as you can to control glucose with diet and exercise can help reduce the amount of insulin you're taking and that can result in weight loss.
Fast cells are also insulin resistant which makes it more complex. Cutting calories means weight loss. Weight loss means less insulin often.
Manapau wat insulins r u on ? I was diagnosed with type one sept 8 th I'm on him along and lantus..
Carbs that is so sad. But if I don't find a way to loose weight well I'm dying peace by peace. Thank you for your help
Yes hi I'm new here but think I found a great group of people and the info I need. Yes. Insulin makes you gain weight. I've been on it for years now and when I started taking the shots I noticed weight gain. I used to loose weight So easily but now also with age because the older you get the harder it is to loose weight but working out building muscle and eating right does help to loose the weight and get you bg numbers down
I have found.
I am on Humalog and Levemir and the weight gain has been awful! I weighed 139 when I was diagnosed as a LADA diabetic on 3/13/13. That is when they put me on Levemir and Humalog. I now weigh 159 and feel terrible about myself. I'd love some suggestions for weight loss too. :/
So what type of medical attention have you gotten since diagnosed ? Have you seen an endocrinologist that is associated to a diabetes clinic?
The reasons I bring this up is because you can work with a dietition that communicates with the doctor to come up with the optimum dosage for you.
I really don't like to see these comments when people say "a side effect of insulin is weight gain" because that does not have to be true.
I am on Metformin 2000 mg/day and Glipizide 15 mg/day and cannot stop the weight gain. Every time I bring it up to the Dr, I am ignored. I guess I am going to have to go into the forceful mode and say we are going to have to try to cut and do away with the metformin…I take the met and am starving in 30 minutes.
Look into Victoza, I was on a low (2.5) dose of Glipizide and switched to a low dose of Victoza because one of the side effects is WEIGHT LOSS!! It can be taken alone or in addition to what you take, with or without food anytime of day. They are not allowed to prescribe for weight loss, but I get the impression they would if allowed. New drug. Please read about it, I'm taking my first subcutaneus (sp?) shot at 7:00 tonight to sleep thru any nausea. I weigh 238 quitting smoking didn't help my weight any. We are all in the same boat, Good luck to all of us. Note: check into this, but I believe it's only for type 2.
Never took those but I have taken different insulins . Doctor told me one side effect of insulin was weight gain … One thing insulin does besides allowing glucose in your blood into cells , is changing unused calories into fat as storage for future use …

SPAR International expands into Azerbaijan
SPAR International has opened its first store in Azerbaijan.
The new 1,800 square metre shop in the capital city of Baku has been established with local partner Araz which already services more than 37,000 daily customers and operates neighbourhood stores, convenience stores and supermarkets.
Araz, which became a SPAR partner in April this year, was founded in 2010 and is part of retail and wholesale business Veyseloglu.
SPAR's growth in the Caucasus follows confirmation of plans by Khimji Ramdas, the brand's partner in Oman, to open 21 new stores in the Sultanate by the end of 2017.
Speaking at the official opening of the Baku store, general director of SPAR Azerbaijan Vusal Sharifov said: "Food retailing continues to be one of the most dynamic sectors of Azerbaijan's economy and Araz has strong plans for growth, with the aim of opening more than eight new SPAR stores with a total sales area of 12 000 square metres by the end of 2017.
"The introduction of the SPAR brand into the local market brings global best practice to retailing in Azerbaijan and delivers a new and unique offering to local consumers based on the SPAR principles of freshness, quality, choice and customer service."
David Moore, SPAR international business development director added: "Building strong partnerships, sharing international best practice and adhering to SPAR's core principles has resulted in continued and growing interest from independent retail partners across the globe – particularly in developing economies.
"Our partners in Azerbaijan and Oman, have ambitious plans for growth in both of their markets and we look forward to working with them to grow their presence further into the future."
Other new countries entered by SPAR in 2015 include Cameroon, Malawi and Indonesia.
SPAR International has 12,300 stores worldwide and global retail sales of €31.9 billion in 2014

Jackson's Pirate Chest
Good Morning All - Yesterday, a little boy aged 4 came into my store and told me he had a Pirate Badge! I asked him if he had a Treasure Chest, he shook his head and said no. I then asked him if
he would like me to make him a Treasure Chest to put all his treasures in and he said Yes Please.
So last night, I took home an empty cigar box from the shop and set too to make his treasure chest.
This is how it turned out - I hope he likes it!

I don't normally find reading papers on quantum gravity to be "entertaining". However, this is actually is, simply because the authors have to be rather concise due to limited space. Written by Sabine Hossenfelder Lee Smolin of the Perimeter Institute, it actually provides quite an overview of the phenomenological aspect of the search for the effects of quantum gravity. It focuses entirely on what we had measured and can possibly measure in the next decade or so. Reading this, one notices a lot of "negative result" experiments, especially on the search for possible violations of Special Relativity at those extreme scales.
Like I said, a very entertaining reading. :)

Kaftan Moment.
i'm going to let you guys in on a little (not well kept) secret of mine. i have a thing for vintage--dresses, furs, tees, even an occasional gown--and i mostly shop at one place in san francisco: held over. it's a staple on the iconic haight street and you can find real authentic pieces from the 60's, 70's, and 80's. no designer labels, unless they are truly vintage. this harley davidson tee was a bit pricey for a shirt, but I'm so glad i gave in. happy shopping! xx

TMG Logging is showing fallowing errors:……………….
- Denied Connection MCCNPWINTMG1 8/15/2011 11:09:37 PM
- Log type: Firewall service
- Status: A packet was dropped because Forefront TMG determined that the source IP address is spoofed.
- Rule: None – see Result Code
- Source: Internal (172.26.4.22:55507)
- Destination: Local Host (172.26.7.104:3389)
- Protocol: RDP (Terminal Services)
- Additional information
- Number of bytes sent: 0 Number of bytes received: 0
- Processing time: 0ms Original Client IP: 172.26.4.22
The network is reaching out to TMG internal interface is not recognized by the TMG server, thus TMG thinks the IP address is spoofed and drop the connection.
You need to tell TMG the Network or the IP Address itself does belong to Internal Network, so
Add static route to destination , for example
If we want to add static route for IP address 172.26.5.10 , and tell TMG what DGW to use to reach out this IP we would be using fallowing command from elevated command window ( CMD run as an administrator)
|route add 172.26.5.10 mask 255.255.255.255 172.26.7.97 -p
Open MFTMG , click networking, Under Networks
Internal , internal Properties , click add range and add the IP address range.
Once you have completed this Click on monitoring, configuration and click to make sure TMG servers have been synched.
*** Before making any changes as good practice take backup of your TMG as the backup takes couple, minutes and you can go back if there are any unexpected issues, otherwise like me you will sit in the middle of the night and have to re-build everything (-: , un-necessary headache IMO***
**** Also as another good practice make the changes on the ARRAY MANAGER, if you are running TMG array***

Generally, after school on Monday afternoons we have a scheduled play-date. Another mum from school and I alternate taking turns looking after the boys, both of who are an only child in the family. It gives them some time to pretend for an afternoon that they have a sibling and for us, some time out (on alternate Monday's of course).
So screaming round to their house I went straight after the 2-hours-later-than-scheduled-finish-time at work. Then straight home to find that the husband had arrived home from work before me (that's a first) and already had dinner sorted (I didn't even care that it was just a frozen pizza in the convection oven). Phew.
After dinner, it's a quick shower, the usual reading of the assigned readers for that evening, brushing of the teeth, some monkey shenanigans, then 1/2 hour of "I don't wanna go to bed" before finally convincing him to go to bed.
Tonight when I took my boy-child to bed I offered to read him a bedtime story. As we flicked through the vast selection of accumulated books in his bookcase, we came across his Wiggles photo album filled with photos of him when he was an ankle biter. He chose this over a storybook. And I'm so glad that he did.
As we flipped through the pages filled with colourful memories, my heart filled with nostalgia. This little face that I know but somehow looked like a very distant memory. When was he ever that little? Look at those pudgy cheeks! I want another baby. No I don't. Eew, nappies. Awh, warm unconditional cuddles. I remember that cute outfit. I wish it still fit him.
All kinds of emotions came flooding in. I think he felt it too. He asked me where the photo of mum looking angry was. Just when I was about to say "what are you talking about, there's no such photo" he found the photo. He was right. I looked angry in this one photo. Why was I angry? Wait. I'm still angry. Some of the time I don't realise that I'm angry. But I am. My husband has recently been telling me that I need to loosen up. Relax. Not take things so seriously.
I get upset when he tells me that. Why? Because I don't know how to "relax". Because I wish I were carefree, loose and fun. Those words seem to have disappeared from my vocabulary. Sometimes I am more serious-mummy, preoccupied-mummy, cleaner-mummy, got-63-things-on-my-to-do-list-mummy and that leaves little time for fun and carefree mummy.
Being the pedantic person that I am (blame that one on the astrological sign of Virgo), I find it hard to just let things go which in turn means that I'm really hard on myself when I don't completely have things under control. And let's be real. Unless you have a nanny, cleaner and a clone, how can things ever be picture-perfect in all aspects of life? It's all good to give others advice, but I just find it hard to accept or take my own.
As almost six years have gone by since I became a mum, I'm still struggling to come to terms with losing control of what seems like my entire life. Trying to have a career, be a mum, an entertainer, cleaner, cook, a loving wife, friend, daughter and a home-maker whilst still trying to be me somewhere in between. It's a lot of shoes to fill and I'm not sure I can nor should I want to fill all of them perfectly.
Should I feel bad that I can't achieve everything I want? Definitely not. But do I? Absolutely.
Maybe one day I will read this and finally take my own advice. But for now, I will continue wishing that time would just stand still long enough for me to catch up.

I won a blog award! I am so excited! YIPPEE!
A BIG thank you to Jennifer from Pieces to Treasure for nominating my blog for this award. I feel so honored! I must say, I really enjoy your blog, too. I love being considered a "versatile blogger." From crafts, to garage sale finds, to random thoughts on life - I like to write about it all. I thought this was called randomly unfocused - but "versatile" sure sounds more pleasant!
This honor includes the following...
1. Thank the blogger who nominated me
2. Include a link to his or her site in the post
3. Include the above award image in your post
4. Give 7 random facts about yourself
5. Nominate 5 other bloggers for the award
6. When nominating include a link to the site
7. Let other bloggers know they have been nominated
Alright. Here are my random facts...
1. I am married to my high school sweetheart, Bill. I love him more every day, and we have so much fun together. We live in a comfy home with my Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier. His name is Jake, and he brings us constant smiles and genuine joy.
2. I am a high school English teacher and am also involved with various activities in the school, like Marching Band, Speech Team, and Group Interpretation Play. During the school year, I'm usually incredibly stressed and busy. I don't have as much time for crafts, either, which is unfortunate. I'm currently working on my second graduate degree and can't wait until I'm finished!
3. Going to garage sales is a real joy for me. It is one hobby that I can say fills me with a sense of purpose and pride. I love to turn random strangers' "junk" into my own type of treasure . View more thoughts on this here - where I reflect on what the "junk life" means to me. Obviously, you can tell by this blog that I love to be creative and make pretty things.
4. I love all things DISNEY. Walt Disney World is my favorite place ever. There is something so wonderful and magical about Disney; it definitely holds a special place in my heart. I have so many fond memories of going to Disney World with my grandparents. One of my life's dreams is to visit Disney every year (this dream is still pending). I also love Disney movies and collecting Disney memorabilia. Minnie Mouse is my favorite.
5. Country music is also a big part of my life. It speaks to me. Ever since I was a little girl, I have been listening to country music, and it has continued to inspire me and shape who I am as a person. I guess you can say I have a Southern soul.
6. I love to read and write. There is something wonderful about being able to express my thoughts freely and precisely through writing. I'd like to do more of it, though. My favorite author is definitely Jen Lancaster. We have a lot in common, and she writes memoirs that really crack me up. She's a hoot.
7. I truly enjoy life's simple pleasures. I love lemonade stands, dogs of all shapes, sizes, and breeds, daisies, talking with senior citizens, farmer's markets, ice cream, roller coasters, sidewalk chalk, sno-cones, flip flops, and driving with the windows down on a sunny day. I also love all things vintage - especially old books, cameras, keys, clocks, and advertising. Oh, and I truly believe that a nice, quiet nap can cure almost anything.
I am happy to nominate the following blogs for their spunk and versatility:
Geneva at My Heart's Song
Brittany at Crafty Mischief
Michelle at Faith, Trust, and Pixie Dust
Awdrey at Sweet Art
Clydia at Three Mango Seeds
These blogs definitely show personality and fun, all while providing creative ideas accompanied by vivid, beautiful photos. They're a joy to visit and I think you'll love them, too!
This was fun. Yay for blog love!
Take Time for Lemonade,

Don't Forget About Me
After becoming the first player in NFL history to lead his team in receiving yards and catches as an undrafted free agent rookie last year, Doug Baldwin has been off to a slow start in his sophomore year for the Seahawks.
There have been a few reasons behind that. Sidney Rice is healthy and producing, same can be said for Zach Miller.
Golden Tate is finally showing off what we all were expecting when he got drafted in 2010.
Baldwin has also missed one game this year due to injury and chipped a tooth while attempting a diving catch on the second to last play of the week one lose to Arizona.
So Seahawk fans, don't forget about Dougie and fantasy owners don't sleep on him because this is what he's capable of!
The Personnel
The Seahawks were in their '11' formation with one Tight End and one Running Back. Zach Miller was lined up off of Right Tackle Breno Giacomini and Marshawn Lynch was in the backfield.
Eventual receiver of the Russell Wilson pass Doug Baldwin was lined up in his usual slot position on the right side. He was flanked by Ben Obomanu and Golden Tate was lined up on the left in his usual split end spot.
The Play
At the snap, Marshawn Lynch wades through the line and breaks into the flat and actually gets a look from Wilson as pressure mounds, before Wilson scrambles outside the pocket.
Golden Tate and Ben Obomanu both run streak routes and draw man coverage. Zach Miller runs a post into the middle of the endzone.
Doug Baldwin's route is a difficult one to judge. It looked to be a streak, but as he got jammed he fell down and it became more of a seam route towards the middle rather than a straight path to the endzone.
Baldwin getting shoved down mistimed the play and Wilson has to step out of the pocket to avoid the rush which gives Doug Baldwin time to catch up to where he should be.
Wilson steps up to throw and delivers an absolute dime!
The Catch
As mentioned, Baldwin falls which mistimed the route poorly, but as the ball is delivered he does an excellent job of regaining body position and jumps into the air to catch it with his entire body and keeps control while falling to the ground.
He then celebrates with Blitz, the mascot. Badass.
Watch it and all other 'Hawk highlights, here!
It's a short week in Seattle, as the Seahawks return to primetime and Thursday Night Football against the hated San Francisco 49ers.
Stay tuned to NWSB for pregame and postgame coverage, as well as all your other Seahawks needs!

So, Janet Jackson is coming back to San Antonio, y'all. But should we hold our breath?
This whole situation feels vaguely familiar to the Morrissey fiasco we dealt with recently: A show is announced, we all get hyped up, then the artist cancels and promises they'll be back. Then, said artist announces another show, we get excited again, and eventually that excitement is met with yet another cancellation.
We've watched this happen for almost two years with Janet (Miss Jackson if you're nasty) when she announced in July of 2015 that she'd be heading to Alamo City on her Unbreakable world tour, which was followed by two postponements.
Yesterday, The Velvet Rope superstar had a few major announcements for fans: that she recently had a baby, separated from her husband Wissam Al Mana, and the tour is back on, only now, under a different name. On Sept. 13, Jackson is scheduled to perform at The AT&T Center for the newly renamed State of The World Tour, which she says is "not about politics, it's about people, the world relationships, and just love."
Look, we all know Janet Jackson is legendary and who hasn't danced to "Rhythm Nation" or "Go Deep"? But listen San Antonio, given Jackson's track record, let's not get our hopes up too high.
Tickets held for previous Unbreakable tour events that are now re-scheduled will be honored at the new dates. Tickets for September 13 show at the AT&T Center go on sale Friday, May 5.

The show starts at 8 p.m., and tickets are $15, available at www.schubas.com.
Olson, www.markolsonmusic.com, will perform material from a forthcoming album, as well as songs from his illustrious career. I had the chance to talk to him about the upcoming show.
Q - Great to talk to you. How has the tour been going? What do you like about performing in a duo as opposed to being in a full band?
The duo is a type of invention that floats not on water but solid air! When you play in a musical duo, everything you do can be answered and supported by the other person.
Ingunn can really groove and float and our tempos and dynamics are perfect together.
Q - I watched a video for the song "The blue always say," a duet between the two of you. Your voices blend well together.
We have been singing together for about seven years and we get better and better. It takes a lot of time to do seamless harmony and also just the basics of unison, tempo, call and response, holding patterns, twirls, upticks etc..
Harmony singing is a deal lots of people do and I enjoy singing with Ingunn.
Q - You also produced your wife's second album. When did you discover you were good musical partners?
When we met we seven years ago we did a gig together within the first month. It went really well and we had friends there and at first it was just guitar and djembe and sometimes a violin player but we have expanded our instruments, songs and sound and decided the duo is the best for creative work and tour expansion.
Q - Ingunn plays a number of instruments, including the Qanun. Has she taught you how to play the instrument? How has she influenced your approach to making music?
We were making demos in Los Angeles for the album "Many Colored Kite" and an Armenian public television channel came on the air. Here is the time we saw women playing the Qanun.
We then had immigration/ visa problems in the U.S. that lasted 29 months. Therefore we had to be out of the U.S. and eventually Europe if we wanted to be together! It was not a pleasant experience!
And the reasons for this are still hidden behind the walls of the U.S. consulate in Norway that would not return her Norwegian passport willingly! My stepfather is a decorated U.S. war hero POW from WWII who wrote letters and got involved.
He led the charge. After 29 months and a six-week study course in Armenia with the Paros Foundation, we returned to the U.S.
Ingunn can play the Qanon now. I can play the drum now. We write meaningful songs together.
Q - How has being in such places as South Africa and Armenia inspired you in writing new songs? What should people expect from the new album?
I write songs about struggles, beauty, spiritual quests, hope, laughter and family. They are alive in the songs!
I hope you will find something meaningful in them.
Q - On this tour, you will be drawing from your entire musical career, including The Jayhawks. Are there any favorite songs that you still love performing on stage? What makes a song special for you?
The most wonderful new/old...happy/sad musical discovery is that the first Jayhawk album sounds incredible with just Djembes! We are performing "People in This Place" and "King of Kings" with just Djembes a la drum circle in the desert and people go insane!! It's the best!
Q - The music world has changed a lot since you first started in the business. Do you think it is harder or easier to be a musician these days? What advice would you give to a new musician?
A good friend as your manager is a start. Also develop new outlooks on lyrics.
This is the forgotten element but the most lasting.

Browser Game Pick: Graviton (Sam Gynn)
August 23, 2010 7:00 AM | Tim W.
Graviton is an avoidance game that Sam Gynn created for the 18th Ludum Dare competition. You move your cursor with the mouse, and points are scored by getting the enemies that chase after you to collide with each other.
A multiplier bonus is awarded for getting circles of the same colour to collide, although you won't be concentrating too much on it when the screen is filled with enemies of all sizes and colours. There's also no way to turn off the annoying music at the moment, and though the developer had spent an entire day playtesting Graviton, the game still has a tendency to crash both my IE and Firefox browser windows when the score goes past 2000 points.

It's time to speak out about the unspeakable
Published online in 'The Punch', http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/Its-time-to-speak-out-about-the-unspeakable/
8th March 2012
During the early 1900s, at a time of increasing unrest over economic, social and political inequality for women, International Women's Day was born. Now etched in our calendars, March 8th has even become an official holiday in some countries.
The day celebrates both the achievements and the vital contribution women make in society. It's also a recognition of the role feminism has played in exposing sexual violence and seeking solutions to combat this problem. A problem that is yet to be abated.
The release late last month of the UN Secretary-general's report on sexual violence during conflict, named military forces, militia and other armed groups as serious offenders in a large number of countries. Sexual violence was noted to have hampered peace building in places such as Timor Leste, Sierra Leone and Bosnia and featured in civil unrest in Egypt and Syria.
While sexual violence flourishes in regions which are at war or experiencing civil unrest, it is not restricted to such zones. In fact, sexual assault is a pervasive social practice which knows no religious, cultural, demographic or economic bounds.
While sexual assault can profoundly affect victims of all ages, child sexual assault is often the most damaging. Extensive research has established the impacts of child sexual assault on the brain not just in childhood but right through the life cycle.
In Australia, an estimated one in three girls, and one in six boys will be sexually assaulted in some way prior to the age of 18. While more typically perpetrated by men, women can and do offend. Sexual violence has long been used as a tool of power and control, instilling and exacerbating fear, helplessness and humiliation in vulnerable populations.
Children are inherently vulnerable. Child sexual assault is a primary act of betrayal by someone in a position of trust, often the very person charged with the child's care. It violates the child's basic human rights.
In situations of conflict and post conflict these crimes can be encapsulated in terms of civil and political rights, transgressed in the public domain. However in Australia, the vast majority of cases of child sexual assault are perpetrated in the private domain, in the home and family.
In the 1970s and 80s, feminist waves first highlighted the often gendered crimes of sexual violence. For the first time, sexual abuse was publicly named, personal stories were told and power imbalance and control were identified as key factors in the perpetration of sexual violence.
While we have evidenced some changes in our societal approach to sexually violent crimes, in Australia we have a long way to go in combating the collective denial, stigma and taboo which would still rather not speak about the apparently unspeakable.
In recent years, the Australian media has begun to report on child sexual assault more frequently. But often they are sensationalised, with the focus shone on the facts of single cases, ignoring more substantive educative messages.
It is time to speak openly and candidly about the factors which foster child sexual assault, and how to mitigate them. More survivors and the organisations which represent them are starting to speak out but they need to be heard by a society which is ready to listen. Only then can survivors start to overcome the soul-destroying shame imposed on them by both their original victimisation and their re-victimisation by communities and systems which minimise, negate and/or dismiss their experiences.
As human beings we share a common humanity. Inherent in our humanity is an accompanying vulnerability. War and civil unrest create vulnerable populations where, fuelled by the oppression of women within those populations, the human rights abuses of violence and sexual violence can and do abound.
Within Australia we have our own history of human rights violations. Cultural dislocation and entrenched disadvantage have presided over an epidemic of violence and sexual violence within Indigenous communities, with substantiated rates of child abuse and neglect being eight times those of non-Indigenous communities.
Yet child sexual assault in Australia is widespread and not confined to Indigenous communities. We, in Australia, who live in the "lucky country", a country at peace, must address the factors which enable child sexual assault to continue unabated.
This International Women's Day let's celebrate the contribution women have made in their various roles as mother, daughter, mentor, colleague, boss or friend. And let's do what we can to protect the most vulnerable amongst us – our children – from child sexual assault.
Child protection programs which educate families on how to keep children safe are to be commended. However, not all children can defend themselves against sexual abusers, or feel safe enough to disclose and ask for help. All Australians need to be alert to the possibility of abuse and its signs in child victims.
The average paedophile has between 50 and 150 victims. If there is any suspicion that a child is being abused, it is important to come forward and notify the appropriate authorities. Should the suspicion not be substantiated, the consequences of being wrong are far less damaging than those of failing to report a case in which a child is actually being abused.
Not reporting not only leaves that child at risk of ongoing abuse, but puts other children at risk. Once reported the onus is on the authorities to investigate but we can all play a part. This International Women's Day and every day from now on, let's do what we can to keep our children safe from sexual predators.

Pay it all off at once, or do it one payment at a time. That was the choice given to the Los Alamos Board of Education this week in reference to a miscalculation made by New Mexico's Public Education Department.
Earlier this year, the PED inadvertently paid LAPS $218,000 more than it should have for its at-risk student program. At first, the PED said districts that it overpaid could keep the money, but after some lengthy consultations with its legal experts, the district is going to have to pay the money back.
"I'm looking for direction as to how we do that," Superintendent of Schools Dr. Gene Schmidt said to the board. "One possibility that Dr. Honnell brought up was to pay it all back at once, and we could do that."
Schmidt said the other option would be to pay it out in $18,000-a-month payments over the next year.
"It's really about the value of the money," Schmidt said. "What is that $200,000 worth, subtracting $18,000 a month over the next 11 months? If that represents a cost savings of under $80, we might as well just pay it off....the board has to decide what the value of the money is."
After much discussion, the board decided to pay it off in monthly installments, just because they weren't sure if that was the only funding mistake PED has made. They also didn't want to set a precedent.
According to LAPS' Chief Financial Officer John Wolfe, the PED did not care how the district did it, which played a big factor in the board's decision. Board Chair Jim Hall asked Wolfe if it would cost the district anything either way, and Wolfe responded that it wouldn't.
Los Alamos Federation of School Employees President Ellen Mills wondered what other financial mistakes PED made that LAPS may have to account for.
"I wonder what other mistakes might come across the table in the next 12 months," she told the board. "Holding back a little bit might be a good strategy."
She also said if the board decided to pay it all back at once, the PED may make that a requirement. "Down the road, there may not be other options because they may feel that 'oh well, everybody can just pay it back all at once' and that may not be true," she said.

To celebrate the draw, I gathered up some favorite project ideas using round beads. Whether you string or stitch, there's nothing better than druks, pearls, and rounds to give a design the perfect amount of pop.
This two-layer bangle bracelet from the learning center at Panda Hall has a unique base of laddered tubes, embellished with round bead nets and picots.
The perfect project for cat eye glass – cat eye earrings! This adorable project from Instructables is perfect for fiber optic glass, but would also be great with druks and glass pearls.
The Lovely Lichen bracelet project from Artbeads.com is a great way to showcase a handful of your favorite rounds. This one would look particularly gorgeous with crackle glass.

Happy Saturday my lovelies.
So it's raining today.
I've already pulled out all of my indoor tricks for Wells and it's only 8:56am.
Thank goodness I hear the music for Minnie Bow-tique starting up.
That might buy me another 15 minutes to finish my coffee!
All of you pre-kids ladies better enjoy a lazy rainy morning in while you still can!
Here's a little board I put together for another client you may remember from last fall.
They wanted preppy and classic in Spring colors and sweet little M just wanted to wear a pink dress.
A girl after my own heart!
{I only have one spot left now for photoshoots at the monuments so email me if you want to book it before it's gone}

There must be a scientific law for the process, but somehow I manage to pull together daily outfits that defy the illogical way they're stored.
This outfit was put together from pieces stored in four rooms, hanging from door handles, curtain rails and kitchen shelves.
Cue: Mad woman in tights and blouse races out of bedroom to snatch up a skirt from the "office", bursts in on Number Two Son to raid his closet for a cape, casts eye over ironing board for recent favourite trinkets on display, then scrabbles around under a bed for shoe boxes.
The fur collar gives a bit of extra warmth - bargain from Dandelion Vintage for a buck.
Close-up of this lovely soft fabric - I really like the flat mandarin collar and bound buttons.
So back to the wardrobe problem.
I think it's simply the accumulation a vintage collection with triffid-like tendencies.
One day it will grow to suffocate everyone who enters the house and my collection will be banished to the garage, where I will erect a camp bed and spend long hours talking to my clothes.
First sign of madness? Talking to shoes and vintage evening gowns.
Well, pop me in a strait-jacket coz I'm already there.
I talk to my tops.
I have deep and meaningful chats with the wee lovelies I'm currently coveting as they hang about my bedroom or clutter the floor.
Suits and dresses have their place - barely. They're surrounded by storage boxes belonging to all and sundry.
Coats, jackets and capes have a loving home - shame the home is called my son's bedroom closet.
Clearly I need to address this problem of clothing storage.
At least I do have some sort of storage order in the chaos: tops and blouses - bedroom closet; skirts, dresses and suits - dodgy portable racks in the "office"; coats, jackets and capes - son's room.
It just means I have to race from one room to the next to put an outfit together.
I'll bet this baby doesn't get into a tizz over dressing.
Sigh ... oh for a dressing room of one's own.
How do you organise your wardrobe chaos?

This is one of our favorite ultrasonic diffusers here at Providence. Simply add about 1/4 cup of water and your essential oils of choice for about 6 hours of continuous operation. This diffuser is strong enough for a large room, or use the intermittent operation feature for smaller rooms. Cleanup is very easy and there are no moving parts to break.
