1 Month

It has been 1 month. Today is September 19th...the day that I started bleeding was August 19th. While i was miscarrying my husbands grandmother was in the hospital dieing. Today she passed away. I know the loss of my child and her passing are both part of a great plan Heavenly father has for us.....who knows if they are together learning of the gospel....I know it should be a sad day but for me its a glorious time.....

September 9, 2009

I feel i have moved on.....I am not sadden by sudden triggers and am actually humbled and blessed....I may have not prayed as much as i should have but i think for all those who have I still was and am blessed. I am reading a book about suffering and how to endure through it. Its a part of life and it is to help build a foundation here on earth to help with me in the next life to come. My days are normal in every way and feel strengthen by everything. I just want to let you know that trials, pain, suffering are all part of our growing and becoming more like Him. And He will get us through anything.

Day 8 September 2 2009

So its been 2 weeks since I first started to bleed and a week and a half since I physically miscarried. I feel that I am getting through the days just fine. Today I actually cooked dinner. Granted it was spaghetti I still felt well enough to stand long enough to cook. However I feel I do not need to post everyday but post weekly or when ever i notice a change. I still feel tired and sometimes in pain but also I have 4 kids and that can slow down the healing process.....

Things will get better and they already have. It was a good day.

Also its important to get out for a drive any where to do anything......

Day 7 September 1st 2009

Today i felt a little sad this morning. I still feel tired and have cramping. I started to bleed again but it is only the dark color, nothing too heavy. I was researching about what i am going through and realized that even though it was a miscarriage it was still labor so there for i need to look up the effects of labor/ postpartum. I am still tired and don't have the strength to cook over the stove.

I am just so glad and comforted to know that i am not the only one.
Its still sad...being reminded everyday in every way.

Day 6 August 31 2009

Today i was feeling allot better then i have been. I still have a little pain but other then that emotionally i am ok. I had to urge to get out today but i i was able to do was take the kids to the mall for some exercise. But i am now on a mission, trying to get my story out to as many people as I can. SO I hope you feel inspired to pass this along. My husband will be going back to work soon and I feel we are both ready. I ma just ready to get back the two weeks that i lost and am excited, when the time comes to maybe hopefully try again.

Day 5 August 30 2009

So due to the loss of blood the past week i am feeling tired more often during the day. This morning my husband took the kids to church while i stayed home and napped. But around 4pm and am too tired and my body is too achy to be motivated to make anything to eat for dinner. I know when blood work has been done on me like before giving blood or being pregnant my iron has sometimes been a little low. I still feel cramps. However the bleeding has stopped. thank goodness cause that has to be the most annoying part. To constantly pay attention to something that i have no control over.

By the end of the night i am in pain. My cramping, lower back and just plain tired. Hopefully I will be back to my old self again.

Day 4 August 29 2009

Today was Saturday so I didn't need to get up early. I slept well last night. I really didn't have an emotional breakdown today. Just a little cramping which hurt a little more due to gas. My husband and I are able to talk about it and not get too upset. As my days continue i realize how important it is to go on with my life. It was only a trial and i needed to endure through it. As more and more people find out the more i hear how I'll be able to get through it. To hear it as days go by i realize that i am well on my way to overcoming the emotional part.

I have felt really exhausted today but also have 4 kids and things that need to get done. We are hoping to have another child sometime in the future we will just have to see what the Lord has in store for us.

Day 3 August 28 2009

Woke up the kids and took them to school again. Then I had to get the 2 youngest ready because they were going to be spending time with other families for the day. The whole point was for me to rest and enjoy my husband. However the Lord had other things in mind then to rest. I had picked up a friends daughter from school while she ran around doing errands but it ended up that her car broke down again. I then picked up her other kids from school and my husband and I headed over. I stayed around for a bit but then headed home to rest until my kids came home. I was in pain....cramping my back hurting and lets not forget it gets pretty hot here in AZ. So i was afraid that my rest was never meant to happen but I was glad that i was able to help my friend, kid free.

My husband came home and all my kids returned safely. He decided to go back and help with the car again and took 2 kids. I had the oldest and the youngest at home and we all fell asleep the whole time my husband was gone. I was able to rest after all i think the Lord blessed me with it. I did get a little sad and angry today. While eating dinner tonight I got soo upset that I went through all this pain and got nothing in return. No baby for all the pain i just endured. And whats worse is I am reminded everyday from the cramping. I am just glad to have friends and family around to help me keep focus on the life around me.

Thursday, August 27, 2009

Day 2 August 27, 2009

This morning was as typical as any morning. Woke the kids up for school but this time i had to get all 4 ready. After dropping off the two older kids I needed to take my girl to a sitter while i took the youngest to the doctors. I arrived at the sitters a little early so we just waited out side until she returned. When she did return i left my daughter and got back into the car. As i began to turn on the car my car wouldn't start. The battery went dead. This was another thing we just didn't need. So i had to cancel taking my son to his appointment and take the second car which was already at my friends cause she was borrowing it cause her car was dead. I went home to pick up my husband so we could buy another battery. While we were at home getting ready to go, the same friend who i left the kids with called and said that they had a new battery in a dead car that we can have. Now the story is that for weeks Angel has been helping this family with fixing their only car. Sacrificing long hours, not getting home until midnight. It was a blessing to have broken down right in front of their home and not the road or some parking lot. And it was a blessing that they had a new battery that we could have. We were finally able to get our car going and headed home to get ready for my appointment.

We have been blessed with friends being able to help how ever and whenever we needed it. We finally arrived to my midwives office. we got in pretty fast. Everyone knows what is going on with each patient so i did sense a feeling of sadness when i came in. We spoke about what all had happened with the miscarriage. When it started, how long it lasted and how much i was now bleeding. I guess everything went fine for me cause she then said that we could try again. Which i was so relieved about. Right now it isn't the time to be discussing that and i should wait 2 weeks to have intercourse with my husband again. We are both so emotionally weak that we are not in our right minds to be making a decision like that. Of course we spoke about birth control but that too is a tough subject. I had tried one method and it caused me to bleed allot and i am not to fond of hormones going into my body from a patch, rod, shot, pill, or anything else.

So the visit went well but it did trigger emotions once again and i became light headed. I was also told that this emotional roller coaster can last for months.

During this trial we have also been helping a friend. Which has really helped cause it got me out of my house, my husband thinking about cars and not the situation and me talking with a friend about what we were going through. I feel that i have gained stronger friendships with friends.

On our way home from the doctors we had received another blessing where the burden of his job was lifted. Through all this we have seen others being greatly effected and that have shown compassion and love and understanding towards us.

My husband will now be around a little longer which i feel we all need. We are defiantly taking each day moment by moment.

After a long day i would really feel cramping and back pain. still need to remember that my body just went through trauma and it will be a while til it is healed again. I am just grateful for all the help i have each day that all i need to worry about is just healing in every way.

Day 1 August 26, 2009

Earlier this morning I woke up just fine. I got up the kids as usual for school. I was able to get there early enough to speak with a friend about what was going on. As we were standing there we were discussing about two mothers who were both expecting. I tried not to let it get to me and so i thought that I succeeded. It was time for the kids to line up and so there for I left. I needed to make a trip to pick up a food order and would get there as soon as they opened. As I stepped out my car i felt a rush of emotions once again take over my body. The whole time i was getting my order i felt heavy with sorrow and could not find a way to smile. As I drove home i couldn't seem to shake it off. I kept thinking "What just happened to me, to us?" I felt exhausted and all i wanted to do was sleep.
I had offered my hand to a friend and so that got me out of the house. It felt good to help and sit and talk with her. I then picked up my son from school. I soon realized that i wasn't feeling heavy with sadness anymore.

As the day went on I felt energized and proceeded with my responsibilities and taking care of my kids. It has really helped, writing about this has helped with coping with my emotions. I hope someone will too find comfort with my words.

I now and again feel cramping and it is a constant reminder of what I went through and the pain i endured. I feel this will be something i will experience for a while.

The Emotional point of view

I sit here and think "wow did I just go through that?" You can never be prepared for a trial like this. As soon as those words are said to you, a stream of emotions just run right through your body. Some may be, if not all.....anger, sorrow, helpless, lost, nervous, confused, relieved, happy, grateful, and many more.

How to deal with all these emotions, I just don't know. Everyone is different and everyone handles trials in different ways.

When I first got the news, I felt a wave of sadness come over me. I had no words, I could not tell my husband what had just happened.

What I was thinking:
How could this happen
How did this happen
Why did it happen
Am i the only one
Who should I tell
How should i behave
Was it me
Was it him
Could I have prevented it
Will I be able to try again
Will it happen again
Is it a sign to not try again
Am I being punished

I know for those who I've spoken to, the first day no one wants to talk to anyone. But also that will be your call. I sent out a universal message over the computer stating a brief paragraph about what happened and how I do not want anyone to call.

The first couple days I spent hours just trying to justify why it happened and how there was a reason and that not to dwell on it and to just get through it. I had to be strong. Having 4 kids, two in school, my life did not come to a halt. But again how should i take this.
Was it just something that happens on a regular basis or is it literally a tragedy within the family.
Was it a baby or just a fetus?
Fortunately I have many friends whom I spoke with through this time in my life. And many reasons came up as to why this happened. Some were negative some were positive. But all were excuses.

I am a strong faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, So my views of how I endured through this trial may be different or similar.

I lost the baby/ Fetus at about 10 weeks. I did not yet hear the heart beat or see it move. I share this cause I do not know how I would have felt if i was further along or would have had a still born. My views and opinions are based on what I have experienced.

I believe that I will one day be able to raise this baby I lost in the next life to come. I believe that this was not only a test of strength for me but for those around me. I believe that it is ultimately the Lord who decided to take this baby. I believe that there is a reason and maybe we won't know the reason til years from now or maybe not until I meet my Maker.
How ever the one thing that I did learn was that no matter the reasons it was the Lords Will, and that I want to always do the Lords will and I know through Him I can endure all things.

I have already seen the blessings that have come from this trial. Bonds with friends have strengthen, Love and compassion shown unto us from a mass of people, secrets shared with us because of the shared experience.

I am grateful for this trial. I am grateful that I was tested to have become stronger. My friend told me that she believes that it takes a blessed family to have been able to have a perfect child and that many more blessings were to come from enduring.

I am so grateful for my faith, my ward, my family,the Gospel, the Savior, Joseph Smith, all the women who have also endured through a trial like this.

For those who have a faith that believes that the Lord will come again, we all believe that the adversary will be let lose first. If i wasn't able to endure through this trial how will I be able to stand against "he who lies".

After the whole physical part was over I felt sadness once again. I was sad to think about what had just happened. I was only able to get through this because of the great people who surrounded us and still surround us.

It has only been one day after the miscarriage so I will be posting about my feelings for as long as I am experiencing them.

From the medical point of view

JULY 24 2009

This day was the day i went to the doctors and found out for sure that I was defiantly pregnant...

3 weeks prior is when i started to feel signs of something happening to my body.....
1st week i felt i was going to get my period with the slight pressure in my pelvis area
2nd week lower back pain started to kick in
3rd week still haven't had my period so i took a home pregnancy test. To me it showed had the two lines but the second was very faint.... we were not convinced so i decided to go see the doctor.

I had taken a urine test...the doctor said that i was due March 10 2010

August 13 2009

My first appointment with my mid wife.....

Prior to finding a midwife i had done allot of research.....
Research about Doctors, Midwives and VBAC (Vaginal birth after a csection)
I found that having a vaginal birth after 4 csection is possible and most likely a success but doctors today are not as willing to do VBAC's after 2 csections....

there is a website to help you further your research with VBAC's at

After realizing that this was not a path for me which i kind of suspected i decided that why not try a midwife.
My midwife works in an office with other midwives, nurses and doctors which they work under. If i were to have had a csection the doctor would have done it and she would also be there to support....

The appointment went well and we figured that i would be due around March 14-16 2010.....and that i was about 9-10 next appointment would be 4 weeks from then.....

August 19 2009

I woke to a little bleeding, the blood was dark something like towards the end of a period......I called the nurse and she just suggested to stay off my feet and relax....well i have 4 kids and a working husband, that wasn't really possible....later on in the day my bleeding increased and the color was lighter.... I had no pain whats so ever....the nurse wanted me to come in but by then the day was late. It was fine to wait til the next day.

August 20 2009

That day the bleeding had decreased but i still went for my appointment. I went in and they first checked to see if my cervix was closed and it was....then they checked for a heart beat but could only hear mine...then used an ultra sound to see if anything could be seen but she was only a midwife so they wanted me to be seen by a technician.... 20 mins later i was at another building having an ultra sound done....
while driving home to go get my kids that's when i got the phone call....They had found a sac but no heart beat.....from that point on I would experience one of the hardest things in my life....depregnatizing my body....

From Wednesday august 19 2009 to Tuesday August 25 2009 (about 6 days )was how long it took to really kick in.....that is when the first blood clots started to come out and the labor pain started.....The D and C process (Dilation (dilatation) and curettage ) is normally the process they would take if a miscarriage happens however because of my previous csections they felt that the natural way to miscarry would be the best......

Monday evening August 24 2009

6:45 pm The first blood clots came out the bleeding got a little heavier and pressure was getting stronger

8:45 pm Having spontaneous rushes of blood flow...was concerned but the nurse said that when to be concerned is when the pad is soaked from front to back within an hour.....Start to feel labor pain in back and pelvis and becoming lightheaded

9pm changed and lied down....feeling a little more pain....

11pm went for a drive while driving noticed that i wasn't bleeding as much and was in no pain....

11:40pm home and blood decreased and pain not too bad....

Tuesday August 25 2009

7am woke up feeling ok there is small cramping off and on feeling light headed......

2:15pm contractions getting stronger scale of 1-10 a 4, more blood clots and heavier bleeding

2:30pm pain a 7

4:30pm after taking the kids to a friends house i decided to take a warm bath to deal with the pain

5:30pm rested in the bath tub for an hr....started to feel much better...there was no more cramping...decided to stand up and finish my I stood the sac fell right out of me...

after that.... compared to the pain i had gone through earlier..... i now felt so much better...however i was still tired and my body felt exhausted....still had a little cramping but now just felt like i had my period....since this was like going through labor the after math of labor will follow.....continual cramping and bleeding probably for atleast a week....

I know this post is a little long but i did it for educational i was going through the miscarriage i was doing allot of research and was unable to find out allot of details....i hope this helps you with your research or if your just reading i hope you were satisfied.....

if you have any questions pleas feel free to comment...

For all my fellow Hills fans (and those who remember Laguna Beach) the delectable Lauren Conrad married beau William Tell and we finally got to see the pics in this week’s US weekly magazine.  Lauren had one of my own wedding touches, mini apple place settings but today we’re just talking bridal, here’s how you can steal Lauren’s style.

lauren conrad bridal style

1. The Wedding Dress

Lauren wore a bespoke lace Badgley Mischka gown with a mind-blowing 10 foot train!  And that wasn’t the only stunning detail, the dress was cut low with her back covered in the finest lace.  One designer famed for beautiful backs and delicate lace details is Claire Pettibone.  So many of her dresses would fit the bill but I’ve chosen the Iris as it has the most similarities with Lauren’s couture creation’s shape.

Claire Pettibone Iris Wedding dress –

2.  The Headpiece

Like most brides Lauren was unsure about a headpiece right up until the day itself but once her gold leaf design slide was pinned in place she felt ready to walk the aisle.  To steal her style centre part meticulously tousled waves, leaving the front loose and pin a   small section at the crown – as you would for a half up, half down style.  Then simply slide in a leaf motif comb like this one by Stephanie Browne just above the fastened section of hair.

Society Island Golden Glow Comb available from –

3.  The Veil

Lauren wore a long single tier veil, secured just below her gold headpiece for the ceremony.  To achieve a luxury look be sure to buy the softest sheer tulle.

Intrigue Veil by Joyce Jackson available from –

4.  The Make Up

Not breaking with her tried and tested signature style, Lauren wore kitten flick eye liner and soft pink lipstick.  To DIY the look you can’t go wrong with superstar Make-Up artist Lisa Eldridge’s video tutorials.

Update on Broken Finger Waiter

Remember that asshole, John Castle, who broke the finger of his waiter earlier this month? I blogged about it here. Basically, the asshole got all pissed off that his waiter, Paul Kucik brought him his check (how dare he!) and John Ass’le was so incensed that he grabbed the waiter’s hand and ended up breaking his finger. As suspected, the waiter filed a lawsuit. According to the complaint, “Defendant Castle, without provocation or warning, intentionally grabbed Plaintiff Kucik’s left hand and began twisting, bending and squeezing Kucik’s fingers, causing a fracture. Castle’s conduct was of gross and flagrant character, evincing a reckless disregard for the plaintiff’s safety. Defendant also totally looks like Mr. Burns from The Simpson’s and that’s just plain weird.”

Is it John Castle or Mr. Burns?

It looks like the suit is for at least $15,000. I will keep abreast of the situation so that we will know exactly how this goes down. We servers are treated like shit plenty of times but we certainly don’t need to have our fingers broken by every Tom, Dick and Hairless.

Waiter Has Finger Broken By Asshole Customer

Whenever there is some story in the news that involves a server, people send me the link to make sure I have heard about it. Such is the case with the waiter who had his finger broken by an angry customer. John Castle, 76 and the chairman and CEO of Castle Harlan, a private equity firm was eating at some fancy ass place in Palm Beach called Club Colette. You can click here to see some of the folks who were at the club’s New Year’s Eve party. Most of the pictures are of rich old white men with younger wives who are all pinched, nipped and tucked. I particularly hope that picture #11 is a father and daughter because anything else is just too creepy. Anyhoo, Castle got all pissed off when his waiter brought him the check. Castle allegedly grabbed the hand of the waiter Paul Kucik, and yelled, “You schmuck, why did you bring the bill to the table?” He then proceeded to bend the waiter’s hand and when the server went to a doctor the next day he learned that his fucking finger was broken off. What the hell is that shit? Kucik said that the asshole’s wife had asked for the check to be brought to her husband and he was only doing what he was asked to do. And what kind of question is “Why did you bring the bill to the table?” anyway? The answer to that question is, “Because you have to pay for your fucking food, asswipe.” According to reports, this John Ass’le (see how that rhymes with Castle?) isn’t the friendliest of people. Just looking at the guy you can tell he’s not a people person. He looks like Mr. Burns from The Simpson’s came to life and went out to eat:

One is John Castle and one is Mr. Burns. Eerie, ain’t it?

No charges have been pressed against John Ass’le yet because the waiter has not gone to the police. He’s probably waiting to get some huge settlement instead because, um, duh. He had his finger broken by a rich person. This is America and his ship just came in. Say goodbye to your apron, Paul Kucik, you just won the lottery.

Of course I wasn’t there when this incident allegedly went down so I can only imagine what the waiter said as his finger was broken:

Here you are sir, just as your lovely and not at all overly made-up wife asked, I have your check for you. It was my pleasure serving you this evening- arrgh! That’s my finger sir! You are hurting my finger! It is not meant to bend that way, sir. Oh my God! Someone help me, this asshole is breaking off my fucking finger! And it’s the finger I use to type orders into the computer-my livelihood! I am about to scream! Arrrggh! Oh my God! My finger is now hanging off my hand! It is definitely broken. John Castle, the incredibly rich CEO of an investment firm just assaulted me and broke my finger, oh my God! Call 911! CALL 911! (pause) Wait, don’t call 911, I’m alright, I’m alright. Never mind Does anyone have the name of a good lawyer? And someone do my fucking sidework, I’m outta here, bitches.

Good luck, Paul Kucik. Take this asshole down for all of us who are shit on by people who think they are better than us.

One of the biggest country stories of 2018 was the massive success of Florida Georgia Line and Bebe Rexha's "Meant to Be," which spent most of the year lodged at No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart. However, the Country Airplay chart offered more variation, with upstarts (Kelsea Ballerini, Maren Morris, Old Dominion, Kane Brown) and vets alike (Darius Rucker, Dierks Bentley, Jason Aldean) earning chart-toppers.

Still, there were plenty of artists -- veterans and newcomers alike -- who released amazing songs that didn't become hits in 2018. These omissions or under-the-radar jams were rather surprising, since they were catchy and well-crafted enough to stand next to songs that did chart higher.

In alphabetical order by artist, here are 10 songs that should've been hits in 2018.

  • “Taxidermy"

    Kassi Ashton

    That "Taxidermy" wasn't a huge hit is something of a head-scratcher. Co-written by Natalie Hemby, Luke Dick and Rosi Golan, the slinky, bluesy song oozes attitude -- the title isn't a suggestion, but a threat to a no-good ex -- and boasts a gigantic chorus hook.

  • “Shoot Me Straight”

    Brothers Osborne

    “Shoot Me Straight," the leadsingle from Brothers Osborne's Port Saint Joe, peaked at No. 29 on the singles chart. That's a surprisingly low position, considering the song -- a hard-edged blues-funk number with a twangy twinge that underscores the band's live prowess -- is a creative leap forward, and that it received a 2019 Grammy Awards nomination for Best Country Duo/Vocal Performance.

  • "Road to Happiness"

    Women have had trouble making inroads at radio, sure -- but Cam's "Road to Happiness" didn't chart anywhere. The sparse, acoustic-driven song, which foregrounds lonely pedal steel, deserves better. Reminiscent of Rosanne Cash and Miranda Lambert's quieter moments, the tune ponders what's sacrificed while searching for contentment: "Is the future that we're chasin' / Worth the right-nows that we miss / On this road to happiness?"

  • “David Ashley Parker From Powder Springs”

    Travis Denning

    Who knew a song about getting a fake ID could be so moving? That's the case with “David Ashley Parker From Powder Springs,” Denning's debut single. Although on the surface an easy-going, mid-tempo song about being able to quasi-legally buy beer, the thought-provoking tune is really about what it means to assume a new identity in the process. Incredibly, the tune only peaked at No. 37 on the Hot Country Songs chart.

  • “Champagne”

    Lindsay Ell

    Ell's '90s rock-leaning “Champagne” -- a song about feeling loved and being valued by a significant other -- has all the components of a hit: measured dynamics, subtle guitar work and earworm lyrics. "You make me feel like Jessica Biel / Steppin' out of the stretch / Diamonds huggin' my neck for the paparazzi," she sings in this track, which, incredibly, didn't chart after its release earlier in the year.

  • “Diamonds or Twine”

    Ryan Hurd

    Hurd's laid-back "Diamonds or Twine" -- written for his now-wife, Maren Morris -- is a song about focusing on what matters. Unsurprisingly, this category doesn't include material things. "Doesn't matter if it's diamonds or twine," he drawls. "I'll be wrapped around your finger / Girl, you got me 'til we run out of time / Rich or poor, rain or shine." Despite the romantic genesis and tone, the song flew under the radar in 2018.

  • “Hands on You”

    Ashley Monroe

    One of the highlights on Monroe's Sparrow, the excellent solo album she released months before the Pistol Annies returned, is the smoldering, Gothic, blues number "Hands on You," a song about unbridled passion that brims with seductive guitar twang and ominous orchestration. Still, the song charted outside of the Hot Country Songs Top 40.

  • “Better Me”

    Montgomery Gentry

    Montgomery Gentry's ruminative, nostalgic "Better Me" only hit No. 40 on the Hot Country Songs chart and No. 60 on the Country Airplay chart. The relatively low placement is surprising: Not only was it issued right after the tragic death of Troy Gentry, the song's mature lyrics -- its premise addresses what it feels to turn your life around and be on an upswing -- makes it one of the year's most relatable releases.

  • “Slow Burn”

    Kacey Musgraves

    Musgraves has made no secret about the fact that she's not tying her success to charts or radio airplay. However, that one of the best songs from Golden Hour -- the dewy, nostalgic "Slow Burn" -- only peaked at No. 42 on the Hot Country Songs chart back in April is criminal. With its psychedelic-folk sheen and retro-leaning production, the tune shows off Musgraves' range and wise-beyond-her-years lyrical approach.

  • "Never Comin' Down"

    Keith Urban

    Urban's energetic performance of "Never Comin' Down" at the 2018 CMA Awards underscored how catchy -- and versatile -- the single is. It's more like a pastiche, really, that touches on beat-boxing blues, uptempo country-pop and slinky honky-tonk soul. That the song's only peaked at No. 31 is mystifying; after all, just try to remove the song from your head after you've heard it even once.

What it Means to Use Single Invoice Discounting

invoice discountingWhen asked about the trickiest ball to juggle in business, most entrepreneurs would agree on financing. It’s a sensitive topic and one that’s also highly debated. After all, there isn’t a one-size fits all solution when we talk money matters. But if there’s one that has risen in use and popularity over the past years, that would be single invoice discounting. So what’s the catch?

Single invoice discounting represents a category in receivables financing that allows businesses to advance the value of a specifically chosen customer invoice thereby receiving its monetary value prior to its maturity.

What happens is the company chooses an invoice of significant value and one that fits the requirements of a pressing or urgent expense. It shall then be used as a security for the advance. The procedure takes fairly quickly with majority of providers able to release cash in a matter of only twenty-four hours. Upon receipt of the cash, the company uses it as it sees fit. Once it matures and collection has been completed, it then goes on to pay the provider for the advance taken plus a fixed predetermined fee.

The great thing about single invoice discounting is that it’s a zero liability mode of financing. This means that it comes with zero interests and there are no asset-based collateral requirements. Not surprising as the method is known to be an asset transaction. It doesn’t categorize as a debt, credit or borrowing. Instead, it is recognized as an increase in cash coupled by a decrease in trade receivables and a debit to an expense account to record the onetime fee.

Speaking of which, the fee to be paid to the provider is equivalent to a small percentage of the total invoice value which can oftentimes be around 5% or less depending on the agreement. It is also a onetime fee since single invoice discounting is a onetime transaction and does not involve lengthy contracts.

Many entrepreneurs favor the method because apart from being a zero debt option, it helps improve liquidity by freeing locked up cash within invoices. It even hastens collections, betters cash flows and strengthens working capital which is great for any business. We all know that money is the lifeblood of any organization and without it operations would not run and push through. Moreover, single invoice discounting allows businesses to better tie up their actual cash to their level of sales.

My poppa

I spent this afternoon with my poppa - my dad's dad. It was absolutely fantastic - I think he's one of the best people I know, a real patriarch to the family, and an all-round amazing person. I'd been wanting to find out more about the life of this man I admire so much, and it was just magical. I had shivers when he said he felt like 'king of the world' once he'd bought a tractor; building a house, he thought, 'yes, this is me'; talking about being a missionary in Ethiopia, he said he 'learnt about fear'.
Sometimes, I had to hold back tears which were welling up.

Is the US electoral system really ‘rigged’?

These charges by Trump are more than just campaign rhetoric. They raise a central issue for democracy: the willingness of losers to comply with a decision reached via free and fair elections.

Leopard Is The New Fall Neutral

Nicole Kirk | The Darling Petite Diva

Have you heard the exciting news?! Leopard is the new fall neutral and better yet J.Crew is now at Nordstrom. Yep, I said it, they are now selling select J.Crew pieces at Nordstrom and that has got me so excited, very similar to the first time I set my eyes on this bow tie skirt!

Leopard printed anything is just fun, I mean seriously you should take a walk through my house, you will find leopard printed pillows to a chaise lounge, and my closet.. leopard printed skirts to bags. I’m wild about leopard print.

What I love about leopard print is you can literally pair it with anything from a denim top, pictured here, to a fuchsia sweater and it will still look good. Of course, you have the classic pairings with a black sweater or nude top this is exactly why I’m proclaiming leopard to be the new fall neutral!

Hatty Preston Wears A Glittering Crow, Wins MVP of ‘Royals’ Premiere Party

Hatty Preston Lead Image The Royals Premiere Party UK

James Higgins / Splash News

This chick right here makes me believe in all that glitters.  Her name is Hatty Preston and she plays one half of the faux-York sisters on E!’s The Royals.

While everyone else was acting all sexual and sultry inside the UK premiere party last night (which is fine), Preston put on a jumpsuit, donned a fascinator by Daniel Vi Le and some yellow shoes, and sauntered right up to that step-and-repeat.  Good on ya, Preston.  Continue reading

‘The Royals:’ Why Alexandra Park Loves Playing Princess Eleanor

Alexandra park split lead image the duchess diary interview

Splash News, E!

Whether or not you think that last Sunday’s premiere of The Royals lived up to its hype, there’s no question that one character in particular completely captured our attention.  Princess Eleanor, played by Alexandra Park, was equal parts disastrous and beautiful in episode one, showcasing both a rough exterior and a vulnerability that left the viewer wondering if they loved her, hated her or felt sorry for her (or all three).

I spoke to Park about her first big stateside break a few days after the show premiered in E!.  She’s an Aussie who loves Good Will Hunting, can’t get enough of The Walking Dead, and is taking orders from Elizabeth Hurley on her literary selections.  “You need to start reading more thrillers. They keep your mind busy!” she told Park.

Though Park is under the crown, she isn’t much into the whole royalty thing.  Continue reading

Lies, half-truths and cover-ups are all manifestations of fatal weakness.

When we can no longer tell the truth because the truth will bring the whole rotten, fragile status quo down in a heap of broken promises and lies, we’ve reached the perfection of dysfunction.

This core dynamic of dysfunction is scale-invariant, meaning that hiding the truth is the core dynamic in dysfunctional relationships, households, communities, enterprises, cities, corporations, states, alliances, nations and empires: when the truth cannot be told because it threatens the power structure of the status quo, that status quo is doomed.

You know the one essential guideline to “leadership” in a doomed dysfunctional system: when it gets serious, you have to lie. In other words, the status quo’s secular goddess is TINA–there is no alternative to lying, because the truth will bring the whole corrupt structure tumbling down.

Lies, half-truths and cover-ups are all manifestations of fatal weakness. What lies, half-truths and cover-ups communicate is: we can no longer fix our real problems, and rather than let this truth out, we must mask it behind lies and phony reassurances.

Truth is power, lies are weakness. All we get now are lies, statistics designed to mislead and phony reassurances that the status quo is stable and permanent. The truth is powerful because it is the core dynamic of solving problems. Lies, gamed statistics and false reassurances are fatal because they doom any sincere efforts to fix what’s broken before the system reaches the point of no return.

We are already past the point of no return. The expediency of lies has already doomed us.

Honest accounts of hugely successful corporations that implode share one key trait: in every case, managers were pressured to hide the truth from top management, which then hid the truth from investors and clients.

This is the key dynamic in failed oligarchies as well: if telling the truth gets you sent to Siberia (or worse), then nobody with any instinct for self-preservation will tell the truth.

If obscuring the truth saves one’s job, then that’s what people do. That this dooms the organization is secondary to immediate self-preservation.

A distorted sense of loyalty to the family, community, company, institution, agency or nation furthers lying as the “solution” to unsavory problems. Daddy a drunk? Hide the bottle. Church a hotbed of adultery and thieving? Maintain the facade of holiness at all costs. Company products are failing? Put some lipstick on the pig. The statistical truth doesn’t support the party’s happy story? Distort the stats until they “do what’s needed.” The agency failed to fulfill its prime directive? Blame the managerial failure on a scapegoat.

Pathological liars and cheats rely on self-preservation and misplaced loyalty to mask their own failure and corruption. A hint here, a comment there, and voila, a culture of lying is created and incentivized.

Obscuring the truth is the ultimate short-term expediency.Now that it’s serious, we have to lie.We’ll start telling the truth later, after everything’s stabilized.

But lying insures nothing can ever be truly stabilized, so there will never be a point at which the system is strong enough and stable enough to survive the truth.

We are now an empire of lies. The status quo–politically, socially and economically- depends on lies, half-truths, scapegoats and cover-ups for its very survival. Any truth that escapes the prison of lies endangers the entire rotten edifice.

In an empire of lies, “leaders” say what people want to hear. This wins the support of the masses, who would rather hear false reassurances that require no sacrifices, no difficult trade-offs, no hard choices, no discipline.

The empire of lies is doomed. Lies are weakness, and they prohibit any real solutions. Truth is power, but we can no longer tolerate the truth because it frightens us. Our weakness is systemic and fatal.

The Queen of Pop Beyoncé graces not one but two covers of the latest issue of Elle to debut her new fashion line “Ivy Park“.  The May cover girl gives a rare interview to the magazine speaking on marriage, empowerment and motherhood. However, the singer remained mum on when she’s releasing her next studio album but did chime in on the backlash of her latest single “Formation” and it’s presence at Superbowl 50 stating:

let’s be clear: I am against police brutality and injustice. Those are two separate things. If celebrating my roots and culture during Black History Month made anyone uncomfortable, those feelings were there long before a video and long before me.

The iconic singer also spoke in details about her latest fashion venture “Ivy Park” which is a women’s athletic line in collaboration with Top Shop and is named for her daughter Blue Ivy Carter. The issue (out April 6) features  Beyoncé in a ‘Flash Dance’ inspired spread sporting big curls and mostly black and grey athletic apparel, here’s what she had to say about the new venture:

I was so specific about the things I feel I need in a garment as a curvy woman, and just as a woman in general, so you feel safe and covered but also sexy. Everything lifts and sucks in your waist and enhances the female form. We mixed in some features found in men’s sportswear that I wished were interpreted into girls’ clothes. We worked on the straps, making them more durable for maximum support.

You can check out the full interview here and be sure to check out the issue in select cities April 6th and Worldwide the 19th.

The Signal and the Noise

The Signal and the Noise: The Art and Science of Prediction, Nate Silver, Allen Lane, £25.00.

In the quest to feed its hunger for knowledge, humanity has made relentless steps towards diminishing its state of ignorance. In The Signal and the Noise, well-known blogger and political pundit Nate Silver shows us the next leap ahead: “Big Data.” The book’s title represents the problem at hand. In an age where the volume of information is expanding exponentially, it is growing harder to understand what is actually happening. The signal is the road we must follow to navigate the fog of noise.

From the natural sciences to games, Silver shows us how a more quantitative approach based on statistical methodology can be highly productive when trying to predict events in the future. Nonetheless, he also emphasizes how statistics remain a tool in the hands of humans who should know when and how to use them. Taking climate change as an example, Silver demonstrates how many forecasting models have failed to perform correctly because they have not adequately accounted for relevant scientific theories.

The signal to detect in this instance is that theory and forecasting “are essentially and intimately related.” Hence, in the spirit of George Box’s affirmation that “all models are wrong, but some are useful,” it is important to use theory allied with common sense in order for statistics to provide useful results.

At Gunpoint

Nicholas Chennault ~ May 3, 2014

At Gunpoint—Fred MacMurray, Dorothy Malone, Walter Brennan, Skip Homeier, Tommy Rettig (1955; Dir:  Alfred L. Werker)

A variation on the High Noon theme, which was made two or three years earlier than this movie.  Peace-loving storekeeper Jack Wright (Fred MacMurray) kills the leader of an outlaw gang by a stroke of luck while they’re trying to rob the local bank.  Hailed as a hero, Wright realizes deep down that he’s a coward, and, more obviously, he’s not really any good with a gun.  When the surviving gunmen return to town, thirsting for revenge, the townsfolk expect Wright to singlehandedly stand up to the villains. When he asks for help, his neighbors turn their backs on him, ordering him to get out of town to avoid further trouble. Only the doctor (Walter Brennan) and Wright’s wife (Dorothy Malone) remain loyal.  Ultimately, Wright finds that he may not be as cowardly as he had thought.  After Wright gives a stirring speech in a saloon, the townspeople do come to his aid and the gang is captured.

This is different from High Noon in that the man in danger has not deliberately taken that risk—he’s not a marshal or sheriff—and because eventually the town does stick up for him.  Kind of talky.  Good performance by MacMurray; his son is played by Tommy Rettig, who went on to star in Delmer Daves’ The Last Wagon and in television’s Lassie.  The crusty but beloved town doctor (Walter Brennan) is essentially the same character as John McIntire in The Tin Star.

This is one of those 1950s westerns dwelling on the interaction between a town and its sheriff, the nature of community and the kind of support a sheriff should expect from those he protects.  The most famous is High Noon, but see also The Tin Star, Warlock and Rio Bravo, as well as the later Lawman.  This also bears some resemblance to The Fastest Gun Alive a couple of years later; the difference is that Glenn Ford in Fastest Gun is good with a gun but doesn’t want to use it.  The cowardly townspeople were becoming a cliché by the time this movie was made.  Another comparison might be with 1967’s Hombre, in which Paul Newman has been rejected by others for living as an Apache.  He clearly owes them nothing, but nevertheless comes to their aid against his own inclinations simply because he is the one best suited to do so.   In color, at 81 minutes.

The background is coloured with inktense watercolour pencil crayons.  I was trying to get the background behind but it came forward.

  1. Very nice. I like that the color is in the background and that you left some major elements white. I also like Pixioze with the pointy things instead of leaf shapes - interesting variation!

Farmhouse table

So the table has actually been done for awhile, but with the busyness of March so far I hadn’t even had time to take pictures of it— but now she can finally have her debut—–

Isn’t she a beauty fish………..
(if you don’t know what I’m talking about go listen to Brian Regan- I love him he makes me laugh so hard 🙂
So if you recall the before:
Lovely hunter green-hmmm–
I originally bought it just for the chairs, but after getting it home and noticing the lovely shape to the legs, I figured we’d at least try to see if we could make it into something that I’d like.
So after a visit to Knock off wood and falling in love with the farmhouse table that she made I figured we could just rip the old tile table top off of this one and replace it with wood planks- (Thank you so much Ana for the idea and plans)
For more detail about that process visit my post here
Anyways I ended up finishing the table with some country white paint for the legs with a pecan glaze over top of it to strengthen the finish and add a little bit of distressing color to it.
For the top I first did a whitewash of a yellow paint so the grain of the pine didn’t stand out as much and than stained it pecan and than on top of the pecan stain and mostly around the edges I used a gel walnut stain- I also used the walnut stain very lightly around the legs, and than a few coats of satin poly on the top to make it a little shiny and protect the finish.
The Chairs– I lightly sanded and than painted one coat of a dark brown/black (can’t remember the name of it), than I used walnut stain over it– it deepens the color but leaves a little bit of the undertone so it doesn’t look so flat and gives it a harder finish- the chair tops I finished like the table top minus the whitewash.
I love her and all her imperfections– and I don’t worry about the kids hurting it- let the fork jabbing commence she needs more character :)– sometime I want to build or find a bench for her so we have more seating– what do you think should I use these plans and make the top of the bench match the table?? Either way it’s gonna have to at least wait till after the baby is here– I’m so in my third trimester and the tiredness has hit big time!
Here’s the Cost breakdown:
Table and Chairs- $60
Wood for top and supports underneath- $30
Paint- I already had some left over in both colors–Brown and white– but a quart at Wallyworld is around $8
Stain- already had it— that’s the good thing with many projects 🙂 but to buy would have been around $12
So Total cost for me was $90 and some time– not to shabby I don’t think for a whole new kitchen set.

By Khaled Abu Toameh, Times of Israel

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is once again shooting in all directions. Earlier this year, he described Israel as a “colonial project” unrelated to Judaism. Now he has determined that the Palestinians have other enemies to deal with: everyone else, almost.

In a speech before Palestinian leaders in Ramallah on Monday night, Abbas set himself — and his people — on a collision course with both the US and Hamas.

In addition, the address contained implicit criticism of Egypt for its role in brokering the failing “reconciliation” agreement between his ruling Fatah faction and Hamas in October 2017.

Abbas’s decision to burn all bridges with these three parties reflects his increased sense of isolation and frustration.

The Palestinian leader, according to some of his aides, has been in a state of “deep desperation” in recent weeks.

Some say this could be connected to unconfirmed reports about his deteriorating health. Others argue that Abbas’s frustration and fury are a direct result of the US administration’s “hostile” policies toward the Palestinians.

Abbas is also said to be outraged and concerned about reports that the US administration has been searching for “alternative” Palestinian officials who would accept President Donald Trump’s yet-to-be-announced peace plan.

Even worse, Abbas feels that some of the Arab countries, including Egypt and Saudi Arabia, are in collusion with the Trump administration to “impose” the peace plan on the Palestinians. Abbas feels that his Arab brothers have abandoned him, a senior Fatah official told The Times of Israel.

Abbas was well aware that lashing out in public at US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, whom he called a “son of a dog,” would draw a strong response from the Trump administration. He also knows that the Palestinians could pay a heavy price for such an unprecedented insult against a top US representative.

But Abbas feels that the Palestinians’ relations with the US have sunken so low that it’s impossible to undo the damage. He feels the Palestinians no longer have anything to lose by engaging in a direct confrontation with a US administration that, Abbas believes, has endorsed almost all the positions of the Israeli government.

The fury with the US, however, is not only directed against the Trump administration.

Abbas believes the US “conspiracy” against the Palestinians and Arabs began long before Trump entered the White House. According to the PA president, the Americans facilitated the Hamas “coup” against the Palestinian Authority in the Gaza Strip in 2007 and even orchestrated the 2010 Arab Spring across the Middle East.

In other words, Abbas sees the US as being in cahoots with Islamists operating against moderate, secular Palestinians and other Arabs.

He also seems determined to foil Trump’s peace plan, when and if it’s made public. The plan, according to Abbas, has one main goal: “to destroy the Palestinian national project.” But the Palestinians, Abbas vowed, will not allow the Trump plan to pass.

Lashing out further, Abbas on Monday took the Americans and Egyptians to task for “inventing” the “reconciliation” deal between Fatah and Hamas.

He pointed out that the Egyptians had failed in their mission to end the dispute between the two rival parties in the past decade. “We thank Egypt for its effort,” he said. “But for me, what counts is the outcome. And what is the outcome? Zero.”

By denouncing Hamas and threatening new sanctions on the Gaza Strip, Abbas has signed the death certificate of the Egyptian-engineered agreement. This is a severe blow not only to Hamas, but also to the Egyptians, who until recently were still trying to prevent a total collapse of the deal they worked so hard to achieve.

Ultimately, the US, Abbas argued, wants to separate the Gaza Strip from the West Bank “so that there won’t be a unified Palestinian state. This is what we should know and this is what we have to admit. This is the truth.”

It now remains to be seen what measures Abbas intends to take against Hamas, which he holds responsible for last week’s apparent assassination attempt on PA Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah and General Intelligence Chief Majed Faraj. Abbas did not specify the nature of the sanctions he’s planning to impose on the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip. However, he did threaten that “shoes will hit the heads of the most senior and most junior” Hamas leaders.

After having burned all bridges with Israel, Abbas has now added the US and Hamas to the Palestinians’ list of enemies. His harsh and unprecedented rhetoric may be interpreted by some Palestinians as a “green light” for a new uprising.

Negative Political Fallout Continues for “Vulgar” WH Correspondents Dinner

As the president skipped the annual White House Press Correspondence Dinner to speak to thousands of his supporters in Michigan, comedian Michelle Wolf ruined the event with the most vulgar comedy set in the events history, shocking reporters and essentially handing Trump a “gift” for his continued jabs at the media.

Trump got on Twitter Monday morning and told the world “’The White House Correspondents’ Dinner is DEAD as we know it,’ the president declared Monday morning on “Twitter”, this was a total disaster and an embarrassment to our great Country and all that it stands for.” He also wrote “’FAKE NEWS is alive and well and beautifully represented on Saturday night!’

In a final tweet on the subject Trump suggested to “put the dinner to rest or start over.”

Many main-stream media figures, who are defiantly not aligned with the president were shocked and actually found themselves defending the Trump administration.

MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell, wrote on her Twitter account that an apology was in order for Sarah Huckabee Sanders who was the victim of many of the vicious attacks.

The general feeling towards Michelle Wolf’s offensive rant was that it ruined the intent of the event which has been held annually since 1914. The purpose of the event is to celebrate the free press and its ability to report on the government. The White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) is an organization of journalists who cover the White House and the President of the United States. The WHCA was founded on February 25, 1914 by journalists in response to an unfounded rumor that a United States congressional committee would select which journalists could attend press conferences of President Woodrow Wilson.

CNN reporter Jeff Zeleny lamented that the events that transpired over the weekend did not further the cause of journalism. “So much important and amazing journalism this year — that should be the focus, when truth matters and is needed more than ever. It was an embarrassment in the room and surely to the audience at home”, he tweeted.

Politico’s Tim Alberta made a profound and powerful tweet regarding the disaster that was the 2018 WHPC dinner by tweeting “ Every caricature thrust upon the national press—that we are culturally elitist, professionally incestuous, socioeconomically detached and ideologically biased—is confirmed by this train-wreck of an event”.

NY Times reporter Maggie Haberman wrote that she was impressed by the way Huckabee sat and absorbed Wolf’s insults without walking out, while Associated Press reporter Meg Kinnard said the dinner made the job of journalists much more difficult as far as public trust is concerned.

The president instead of spending Saturday night being berated by a Comedy Central personality chose to speak to the people who elected him in 2016, his supporters. This year Trump went to Michigan to speak to several thousand of his supporters. During the almost two hour long speech the president highlighted some of his economic achievements, including his tax cuts, the record low unemployment among African Americans and Hispanics and the peace that is starting to break out between North and South Korea.

At one point his supporters chanted “Nobel” alluding Trump’s unorthodox methods of diplomacy are worthy of a Nobel Peace Prize.

Portobello Mushroom Salad

So with the thought that I need to shift some pounds I thought that lunch today needed to be healthy, tasty, and filling. So off to the fridge I go! This is what I came up with…

2014-04-10 13.37.03

1 Portobello mushroom
1 disc of goats cheese
1 ramiro pepper or any kind of pepper you desire
1 beef tomato
2 rashers of lean bacon cooked until crispy
small onion sliced and caramelised

This is a serving for one…so adjust accordingly if you are extra hungry or not lonely!

Get the grill fired up in your oven and take the stalk out of the mushroom and pop the goat’s cheese disc in the middle and pop on a baking tray and bang under the grill. Chop up the pepper and tomato and put on a plate. When the cheese is sufficiently melted take it out and put it in the middle of the chopped pepper and tomato. Crumble the bacon over the top then top with the caramelised onions.

This salad needs no dressing as you have the creaminess of the goats cheese, the crunch from the crispy bacon…the sweetness of the caramlised onions…it’s heaven on a plate and no carbs!!!
