Rebecca Bernstein won the Frank Agostino Award for Design, Construction & Workmanship at Drexel University’s Westphal College of Media Arts & Design fashion show. The event took place June 2 at Urban Outfitters Corporate Headquarters located in the Philadelphia Navy Yard. Rebecca’s winning garment is part of her senior collection that combines elements of skiwear and science fiction. She utilized nylon fabrics, rib knits and stitching patterns to make her futuristic design functional to wear. Frank’s prize was only one of several that she received, which included the Evelyn Netsky Award for best in show. Congratulations, Rebecca.

Enhancing the Moroccan and Indian ambiance of The Jewel Ball, her gown was styled from an imported golden amber satin back crepe, featuring a draped V-neck bodice that evolved into an asymmetrical wrap skirt. The light amber gemstones and many Swarovski crystals were individually placed and sewn by Mr. Agostino and his staff.”

Main Line Times Article Profiles AGOSTINO

Main Line Times /

On the second floor of a Lancaster Avenue storefront, design assistant Rebecca Haun hand embroiders delicate flowers on the top of a silk chiffon gown. A few yards away a seasoned seamstress labors over the matching skirt. When they’re finished, the two will have spent upwards of 200 hours on the project: a custom-designed mother-of-the-groom ensemble.

This is fashion in the slow lane at Agostino in Bryn Mawr, home to the Main Line’s only real couturier.

In this fast-fashion, outsourced era, Frank Agostino is a throwback to a more intimate, almost genteel time. He and his nimble-fingered seamstresses have been creating one-of-a-kind clothing for some of the area’s most affluent, discriminating women for decades.

“Don’t come to me with a picture of a dress and tell me to make it,” says the affable designer who’s been known to turn down work if he doesn’t feel a “connection” with a client or if the client wants a copycat design. “That’s what dressmakers are for. That’s not what I am.”

A woman who dons an Agostino gets an unspoken guarantee: no one else at the society wedding, charity gala or debutante ball will be wearing what she’s wearing.

Aficionados gladly wait up to five months and pay anywhere from a few thousand to upwards of $10,000 for his handiwork.

“It’s well worth the money,” insists Andrea Morrissey, a Newtown Square client with closet full of custom Agostino sportswear and evening clothes. “If you want something different and original in beautiful fabrics, he’s the one. I tell Frank what I like and we design it together.”

Morrissey once shopped at Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus and boutiques of similar ilk but switched to Agostino for the personal service and custom fit. “I’ve become harder to fit as I’ve gotten older. With Frank, you don’t have to spend extra for alterations, so I end up paying about the same as I did at the high-end stores.”

Another plus is longevity, she says. “Everything is so gorgeous, you can wear it for years, like a Chanel suit.”

Agostino says he’s seen clients wear his designs for 30 years. “I often joke with them that after three wearings, the stitches are going to break.”

The Agostino aesthetic is simple: make women feel good about themselves – even women with less-than-perfect bodies. “My goal has always been to enhance a woman in beautiful, timeless clothes that are comfortable and practical. Everything we make is lined in silk so it feels good. And I spend a lot of time with my fit model to make sure the garments work for them, that they can reach a pocket or a zipper. If she can’t go to the bathroom in it, we make adjustments. Men would never wear something that’s uncomfortable. Why should women?”

Valerie Bonner, a Radnor aesthetician who moonlights as an Agostino fit and show model, hired the designer to make her wedding dress six years ago.

“I knew it would be elegant, sleek and sophisticated,” recalls Bonner. “Frank knows what women want and what will make them look beautiful. And unlike other couture designers who stop at size 10, he sews for women of every shape and size.”

Many in his stable of loyal clients, including Morrissey and Bonner, have become personal friends, a by-product of the intimacy of the custom-design process and Agostino’s easygoing charm.

Longtime client Mary Ann Oaks sought an Agostino original when she learned she had ordered the exact same Carolina Herrera gown to wear to her daughter’s wedding as the mother of the groom. Since then he’s dressed the prominent Gladwyne woman for every major life event. “Frank takes a personal interest in what you’re doing and where you’re going,” says Oaks. “He makes sure what you’re wearing is appropriate to the occasion. You end up becoming good friends because he’s such fun. ”

While so many designers rely on their design teams, Agostino is hands on.

He sketches every design, he handpicks every fabric, and he even knows how to sew – a skill he learned as a boy from his Aunt Rosie, a former Italian couture seamstress who lived across the street from his family in Brooklyn. “I would watch what she was doing – all the old couture techniques – and I just loved it.”

But he was slow to embrace fashion as a career. “Being a boy in Brooklyn growing up on the streets and playing stickball, you don’t make dresses. So it took me a while to get into it.”

An early love was theatre. He sang, danced, choreographed off-Broadway shows then settled into costume design. His first official job in fashion was a stint as a dress buyer for Macy’s in Kansas City. In 1974, a similar job at Gimbels brought him to Philadelphia. He and his wife, Grace Ann, bought a home on Forrest Road in Merion and never left.

Agostino made the switch from retail to design when he was hired to run the dress division at Gloria Vanderbilt, where he says he built the business from “nothing to 12 million in seven months.”

That’s when he decided to strike out on his own. “I figured I had been in retail, I had been in manufacturing, I ran a design room, I designed a line … I figured if I did it for someone else, I could do it for myself.”

In the early ’80s, he started a design business in his home, then opened a small studio in Narberth.

By 1994, he had outgrown the space and moved to Rittenhouse Place in Ardmore where he had a retail shop, a modern art gallery – art is another passion – and workroom.

His last move – to Bryn Mawr in 2000 – will be his last, he says.

The first floor houses an elegant retail salon for his ready-to-wear and couture lines; the second floor is his workroom/design studio that employs five seamstresses and two assistants.

Agostino celebrated his 70th birthday last weekend but shows no interest in slowing down. Indeed his wife, Grace Ann, says the “possibility of his retiring is probably zero.”

He still shows new fall and spring collections each year in New York, still charms the ladies at charity events and trunk shows, and still advises area fashion students. (A career highlight came in late 2010 when Moore College of Art & Design mounted a special exhibit of 35 of his original designs.)

Ask Agostino to explain his staying power in the fickle world of fashion and he answers simply. “I do something that no one really does. I listen to the customer and make her what she wants: beautiful clothes that last.”

Completing the Cycle in a Yule Tree

By Carolyn Davis
Inquirer Reporter
Home & Design

Nothing like sitting down by the Christmas tree with a cup of hot apple cider this time of year and reading your – Christmas tree.

You can read your Christmas tree, sort of, when it’s made of newspapers, which is exactly what fashion designer Frank Agostino has used this year in his annual endeavor to create a different holiday tree for his Agostino clothing store in Bryn Mawr.

He and an employee spent four days cutting hundreds of sheets of newspapers, bunching and twisting the middle of each one, and inserting the “stem” into holes in a homemade tree stand.

The result is about 10 feet of shadows, highlights, and unexpected elegance. At night, when the store’s spotlight shines on it, he said, the tree looks snow-covered.

Observers are surprised and delighted, Agostino said, when they realize the tree’s material. “To see them walk by and smile. . . . That’s part of the joy of Christmas.”

After their last highly acclaimed 2014 album “Magic Forest”, female fronted Finnish Symphonic sextet Amberian Dawn return with “Innuendo”, their second studio album with gorgeous singer Päivi “Capri” Virkkunen. Presented in a catchier and more melodic way than previous efforts, Innuendo sounds like a deliberately fresh new start with some of strongest vocal performances in the band’s history. With production work from Mikko Karmilla (Amorphis, Apocalyptica) and Tuomas Seppälä’s apparent influences of the likes of Jean Michel Jarre to Vangels, Innuendo showcases the epic trademarks of an album that could easily place the band into the forefront of the Symphonic Metal genre! “Innuendo” is a term most famed by Queen and their album titled the same, but as time goes on, some might also come to think of Amberian Dawn alongside those British rock heroes.

Patent royalties cannot last beyond the expiration of the patent: SCOTUS

The Supreme Court decided Kimble v. Marvel Entertainment, LLC today.  The holding is simple:  The Court refused to change a rule they announced in the 1964 Brulotte case, holding that a patent holder cannot charge royalties for the use of his invention after its patent term has expired.

The patent at issue, 5,072,856, covers a toy that allows users to pretend to be "Spiderman" by enabling them to shoot pressurized foam string that looks like a web.  The inventor filed for a patent on May 25, 1990 and the patent issued 19 months later, on December 17, 1991.

In a sadly common sequence of events, the inventor met with the president of Marvel to try to sell or license his patent.  Marvel declined to buy or license the patent, but did start marketing their own toy -- the suspiciously similar "Web Blaster" that lets users shoot foam webs.  This eventually led to the inventor suing Marvel for patent infringement in 1997.

That litigation was settled by Marvel's purchase of the patent for around half a million dollars (presumably to cover past infringement) and a 3% royalty on Marvel's future sales of the Web Blaster.  There was no sunset date on the royalty stream.  The lower courts followed the 1964 rule and held that royalties expired when the patent expired.  The Supreme Court took the case to decide whether Brulotte should be overturned.

The Supreme Court today declined to overturn Brulotte.  The Court recognized that the rule might interfere with things that both the infringer and the patentee desire, like spreading payments out over time or allocating the risks and rewards associated with commercializing inventions.  However, the Court held, "parties can often find ways around Brulotte, enabling them to achieve the same ends."

This is where it gets interesting:  The Court provides an array of workarounds for inventors and licensees to avoid the very result that it imposed on Kimble in today's case:
 - The parties can "defer payments for pre-expiration use of a patent into the post-expiration period";
 - The parties can enter into a "licensing agreement [that] covers either multiple patents or additional non-patent rights.  Under Brulotte", the Court held, "royalties may run until the latest-running patent covered in the parties' agreement expires."
 - The parties may contract for "post-expiration royalties ... so long as tied to a non-patent right -- even when closely related to a patent....  That means, for example, that a license involving both a patent and a trade secret can set a 5% royalty during the patent period (as compensation for the two combined) and a 4% royalty afterward (as payment for the trade secret alone)." (Note that it is tough to reconcile patent law's command that the inventor teach the public how to make the invention with the idea that the inventor has withheld a related trade secret that could be licensed).
 - The Court also suggests that parties enter into business arrangements other than royalties, such as joint ventures, as a way of giving the inventor an interest that lasts beyond the patent expiration.

The Court then quotes a SpiderMan comic book (seriously, they do) as part of their justification for not overturning Brulotte:  The power to overturn established precedent should be used sparingly, because, as the comic book says, "In this world, with great power there must also come -- great responsibility".

Implicit in today's case is the risk that if a patent gets invalidated, the Courts will hold that the royalty stream must cease.  That is, patents can expire on their own (which is the case the Court was looking at) or they can be declared invalid before the expiration date.  With regard to the latter, much has changed since Brulotte was decided 50 years ago:

- The internet and search engines have made finding prior art to invalidate a patent far easier.  No longer must one hire a team of experts to comb through dusty library shelves.  Google is even developing a tool that they hope will find invalidating prior art automatically.
- The America Invents Act has unleashed powerful new method to invalidate patents via an administrative tribunal, tribunals which have been so aggressive in invalidating patents that the former Chief Judge of the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals has called patent "death squads".
- Patents that impact financial services are subject to a special second review as a "covered business method" under the America Invents Act.
- Infringers have become far more aggressive in using ex-parte reviews and inter-party reviews to attack patent validity.
- The numerous recent Supreme Court cases changing the standards for what is patentable has caused infringers to question -- and challenge -- the validity of many patents that they would simply have licensed a decade ago.
 - Medimmune, Inc. v. Genentech, Inc. was decided, holding that a licensee of a patent can challenge the patent's validity without breaching the license agreement.

While it is easy to adjust to the rule upheld in Kimble today with regard to patent expiration (just follow one of the Supreme Court's "workarounds"), application of the Brulotte/Kimble rule to the risk of patent invalidation is much more complex.

As a practical matter, small companies and independent inventors usually have a disproportionate amount of their net value tied up in a few patent assets.  In a world where the Supreme Court and Congress are shifting the patent landscape with surprisingly aggressive and frequent acts, the question of who bears the risk of patent invalidity, where the patent is the independent inventor's largest single asset, is a critical one.  Typically, patent purchase price is negotiated with the risk of invalidity in mind.  That is, the inventor will sell for less (in many cases, far less) than the true value of the patent because even a 10% chance of invalidity represents a 10% chance of the inventor's largest asset becoming valueless.  If a middle class independent inventor is holding a patent worth $10 million, and the inventor's lawyer estimates the chance of having the patent invalidated in a lawsuit at 10%, it would be tough for the inventor to turn down an offer for $1 million.  $1 million in the pocket is, for many independent inventors, far preferable to a 90% chance of winning $10 million in five years (and a 10% chance of getting nothing).

Since independent inventors and small companies often sell patents at a steep discount to shift the risk to the purchaser, it is critical that the purchase and sale agreement for the patent not leave the inventor holding the risk.  This is precisely where Kimble case meets modern patent law's steeply increased risk of patent invalidity.

Patent purchase and sale agreements can be structured in a way that protects the inventor against this kind of risk.  The easiest approach is to sell the patent for a fixed amount of money with no future royalties.  This may not work well where the purchaser cannot afford to pay that amount in a lump sum, or where the purchaser is not sure that the invention will be commercially viable (so wants the inventor to share the risk of commercialization).

In that kind of case, one might assess a purchase price for the patent that reflects the actual value of the patent (for example, $10 million), require some amount to be paid up front (say, $1 million), and then tie the payout of the remaining $9 million to product sales (i.e. 3% of the gross sales are paid annually until the remaining $9 million is fully repaid).  This decouples the patent license fee (which is fully paid up front) from the stream of payments (which now takes the form of repayment of the original lump sum licensing fee).

There are plenty of other ways to deal with the Brulotte/Kimble rule, but the one way that doesn't work is to ignore it.  There is no substitute for good legal advice, and a lawyer well versed in the various risks that inventors and patents now face should be able to structure the deal in a way that avoids Stephen Kimble's very unpleasant surprise.

This Can Only Be Jungian

Synchronicity is the experience of two or more events that are apparently causally unrelated occurring together in a meaningful manner. To count as synchronicity, the events should be unlikely to occur together by chance. The phenomenon of synchronicity was first described by Carl Gustav Jung in the 1920s. (Wikipedia)

Ever felt that something like a reading material is actually beyond your control and under the guidance of an unseen hand?  Or maybe it's just twitter ...

I was going through my usual daily dose of inspiration when I chanced upon a post in The Atlantic, about Abraham Lincoln and his battle with depression.  There were plenty of  things that immediately suggested to me that it was worth a read - that I knew little about the great man with the huge seated statue and that despite the early stories I've read back then about how cheerful he was with children and regular folks, he clearly was battling depression.  Read on and have a better understanding of just how great he is.

Again, moving on I saw a reference to this new site created by a young Russian geek called, I write like .  What it does is analyze your writing style and compare it with a list of authors in its database and figure a match for you.  Deciding to try, I copy and pasted a few paragraphs taken from my blog posts and voila.

[Gulp]. It says I write like William Gibson.  (Vague idea of him except for Necromancer which I haven't really read at all.)

Unsatisfied, I am now more interested in challenging the algorithm and off I went to copy-paste a new set of writings.  Result? It now says I write like Cory Doctorow!  FIne. So like most sites that supposedly claim insight, this might just be your usual hocus pocus .  Deciding to give it a go one more time with a new set of paragraphs, the result came back the same. Doctorow.  Hmmm.

Whatever that meant.

Seeding the mind.

I work the early hours starting at 4 am and this schedule allows me to still perform school bus driver duties for Zaki past lunchtime.  Usually, I have a two-hour interval between bringing her to school and picking her up.  Yesterday, I got a break since wifey volunteered to do the pick-up.

This means I have time to watch Inception which proved quite difficult to follow.  It didn't help that I was quite sleepy, too which made it more 'dream-like' for me.

Here it comes.

Quited dazed coming out of the theater, I noticed that it was raining hard outside so I really can't walk back home yet.  Honestly, I felt lucky with the situation as I get to visit Booksale by myself without pestering kid.  This thrift bookshop selling second-hand books is bit like paradise for someone like me who has but few pesos to spare.  Only challenge is that the titles depend more on chance, than anything else.  By chance means spending hours rummaging through shelves and even, on the floor.

And what did I find.  Little Brother - Cory Doctorow and Abraham Lincoln: An illustrated History.

Coming home, told wifey I saw Inception and told her the movie made minced meat of my brain so either I need to watch it again or read a bit more about it.  Ask Wikipedia, perhaps.  Scrolling down, I came upon this:

"Empire magazine rated it five stars in the August 2010 issue and wrote, "it feels like Stanley Kubrick adapting the work of the great sci-fi author William Gibson"

Like a dream, it means nothing, really.

Findings - Discovering the Virtues of a Wandering Mind

In the past, daydreaming was often considered a failure of mental discipline, or worse. Freud labeled it infantile and neurotic. Psychology textbooks warned it could lead to psychosis. Neuroscientists complained that the rogue bursts of activity on brain scans kept interfering with their studies of more important mental functions.

But now that researchers have been analyzing those stray thoughts, they’ve found daydreaming to be remarkably common — and often quite useful. A wandering mind can protect you from immediate perils and keep you on course toward long-term goals. Sometimes daydreaming is counterproductive, but sometimes it fosters creativity and helps you solve problems.

Consider, for instance, these three words: eye, gown, basket. Can you think of another word that relates to all three? If not, don’t worry for now. By the time we get back to discussing the scientific significance of this puzzle, the answer might occur to you through the “incubation effect” as your mind wanders from the text of this article — and, yes, your mind is probably going to wander, no matter how brilliant the rest of this column is.

Mind wandering, as psychologists define it, is a subcategory of daydreaming, which is the broad term for all stray thoughts and fantasies, including those moments you deliberately set aside to imagine yourself winning the lottery or accepting the Nobel. But when you’re trying to accomplish one thing and lapse into “task-unrelated thoughts,” that’s mind wandering.

And I thought it was just really difficult for people to focus ....

    Anyone here tried DCC++? https://github.com/DccPlusPlus/BaseStation/wiki/What-is-DCC--Plus-Plus

    It's a homebrew DCC system built from Arduino boards, and uses open-source software. Over the summer I learned about while reading MRH forums, and built my own system. It interfaces with JMRI for generating a DCC signal, but also works with Rocrail and some other systems. There are a variety of resources available online, so with $20 of Arduino boards, a few electronic components, surplus power supply, old laptop, $1.99 Goodwill Wireless router, retired cellphone, and some open-source software, I built a system:

    I've not tried it myself, but I ran across it while researching DCC. It looks great for tech savvy folks on a budget. Arduino appears to be great for robot builders too, as the micro controller boards simplify designing and controlling motor functions.

    Where there's a will, there's a way.

    True, I'm on a budget, but you don't even have to be that Tech Savvy. I barely get by, but I was able to get it to work. So my old DCC setup, the Roco Lokmaus, had 2 digit addressing, 4 functions, no readback, no programming on the main. DCC++ has 4 digit addressing, 28 functions, readback, program track/program on main, wireless with WiThrottle, etc. Only drawback is I really liked the Lokmaus and its big knob:

    As an update, I've built a throttle for for my system, following Dave Bodnar's design (foamcore mockup):

    And I used an Arduino Nano and shield, and put everything in a smaller box (former cable TV box):

    I also tried JMRI Raspberry Pi as an access point:

    I can bring to my friend's layouts, and use a smartphone as a throttle, rather than having to buy my own throttle.

    You're "tech savvy" as far as I'm concerned...

sunday funday

What a wonderful weekend!
I love love love this time of year and now that the turkey has been consumed I can now be surrounded by the wonderment and sparkle that is the "official" Christmas season!
I know many of you spent the long weekend lugging out your Christmas gear and cheer and getting into the Holiday spirit right?
Or not.
If you're like me, maybe you had every intention of doing so but then were distracted by the James Bond marathon.
Or just lazy and got stuck on the couch watching movies.
But that's okay, it just means I will do a little bit each day and get more and more inspired by a late evening trip to Target and the fabulous circular from Michael's!
And I can't wait to get it crackin this weekend with Sweet Pea to help and 'supervise' the tree assembly and ornament placement.
The kid's got an eye for style I tell ya!
But lets talk about today.
Today was one of those days when I looked at Babe and thought, 'Wow. He's amazing. How did I get so lucky?'
You see my dad is a bit of a pack rat
(understatement of the year people - the man has now filled three rooms of 'stuff' since my brother and I moved out approximately 10+ years ago and is single handedly keeping Costco in business)
Well he finally bought a new TV for the downstairs area and my loving fiance decided he would help him get his ish together.
So we made the trek down to the O.C where we proceeded to pack up 18 years of VHS tapes, phone cords and other miscellaneous crap into boxes.
Then my strapping man and Dad dragged the archaic entertainment center outside to either be sold on Craig's list or picked up by someone who could 'give it a good home'.
It was amazing.
I have never even seen the back wall in the den at my dad's.
My dad also has this wicked collection of Lladro figurines that used to sit on top of said entertainment center.
Talk about dusty!
Whew! No one has wiped those down in many a year.
So we took them all down and placed them lovingly on the table where Sweet Pea became fascinated by them.
She then decided they were too dusty to 'play with in her mind' (her words not mine)
and began to clean them off.
Y'all my baby cleaned 18 figurine with all the love and care of a mother wiping her baby's bottom ( ok probably not the best metaphor)
Those puppies were sparkling!
Fortunately the pack rat also had a fancy lil cabinet in the dining room meant to house such lovely things so when I made a food run
(thank you Volcano Burger!)
they began to arrange them on the shelves.
Voila! Beauty in a cabinet.
And then my poor somewhat OCD afflicted child proceeded to 'fix' them so that the rows were neat and they were properly sorted.
she is so my kid.
All in all it was a great day spent helping someone who really needed the motivation to just get started and now my dad has more space for the new TV, a better organized Lladro collection and we got the joy of spending some much needed QT. was your weekend?

  1. My dad has a "knack" for keeping things that should probably be kicked to the curb, too. In fact, we just told my mom we'd help her purge some stuff while dad's away this week. I bet your dad really appreciated all of your help! And, I've got to say, having a child who seems to be attracted to all things messy, I could definitely see the advantage to one who likes things neat and tidy. Go sweet pea!! =)

  2. wow, you are an amazing daughter too! I have this issue with my grandma.. needless to say... We clean out a room or two a few times a year... and it always creeps back in... But, you are such a honey for helping him and I know that he appreciated all the QT spent! :)

    amber v.

  3. thanks ladies!
    we had so much fun going through all that old stuff and even found "the good silver" that I will inherit one day!

  4. why no know how the ocd folk love a good before and after contrast and comparison analysis to bask in the improvement, it purges the soul! lol!

Labor of Love - Reality Check

Summer is officially over and we are back to school.
I am finding more time on my hands during the day with a growing baby (no longer an newborn or fussing infant) but full on moving, grooving, cooing and teething baby.
Every day it seems I am inundated with emails about jobs in the cosmetic industry.
Some are local and sound like they would be right up my alley.
Where were these jobs when I was still working full time and actually looking?
And I am tempted.
Tempted to throw my hat in the ring and see if I am any one's perfect candidate.
I think of all the things we could do with the extra income.
The things I could buy.
The fun outfits I could wear that wouldn't be spit up on shortly after donning them.
Interesting and intellectual conversations I would have about makeup, product displays and marketing strategies.
I think about really utilizing my degree.
And then, I think of all that I would miss and those that would be affected should I get back into the grind.
Who would do the afternoon carpool?
Then I see another posting that is so close and would work so great........and then my baby bear does something new.
He scoots forward, he gets a new tooth, he laughs uncontrollably.
And I think of all that I would miss if I were to get back in the rat race.
I listened to the First Lady (who I have a major crush on) speak at the DNC and saw her eyes glisten as she spoke about her children and her husband.
She talked about her role and that her main priority, her real job is : Mom-in-Chief.
She said:
"Success is not just about the money you make. It's about the difference you make in people's lives"
That hit me right where I live.
It doesn't matter which way your politics lean - as a mother, that just rocked me to the core.
Especially a SAHM who is in the thick of the new baby + older child juggling act.
I am not drawn to these job postings because I really want to go back to work.
Yes, it's nice to have something outside of the home that's just me.
But if I'm honest, it's more about the added income it would bring.
That's really it.
Spending time with our famdamily over the weekend and watching the kids play and crawl all over each other, the men laugh and joke and the women discuss life as mothers and where we are in our different journey's it hit me hard.

I love being a mom.
Shaping these two people is the single most important thing I do.
I also love being a makeup artist, blogging and writing.
It makes me just as happy as anything.
But right now it's not really helping pay the bills which vexes me a bit but I know that too will change.
Part of that is me not really marketing myself as much as I should/could/need to.
I am enjoying being home each day with my little man and spending my mornings in the kitchen dancing to music while making baby food.
I love picking up Sweet Pea from school and even driving a carpool with the neighbors.
It shocks me that this is even my joy, but it is.
Sure the school moms aren't discussing the ins and outs of NYFW, the newest makeup trends for fall or what's hot this week and sometimes I feel like I stand out from them but I know, that this is where I am supposed to be right now.
Sometimes I have delusions of working on a set (movie, TV show, magazine shoot etc.) for hours at a time or going back to an office job discussing products at great length and then the reality of all that I would miss hits me like a tether ball to the face.
"I don't want to close my eyes, I don't want to fall asleep cuz I'd miss you baby, and I don't want to miss a thing" - Aerosmith

And I don't.
So I will rejoice right here. Right where I'm supposed to be.

Sure,I'll market myself a bit more for working from home and making women feel beautiful (my absolute favorite thing) but I will savor these moments of being home with my children and not a slave to the almighty dollar.

  1. Yes, yes, and yes. I to went through all these emotions when i had Wyatt... And a bit after having Frankie because i used to be so involved with my moms group (and you know about how that whole debacle went down). I guess, I still have a place in my soul that God created in me so that i would have the desire to serve him with my gifts and talents... But right now i need to wait. Cultivate my talents, learn, and pray about how i will serve him when it's time.

    This devotional that i read the other day really speaks to this linking and idea...

    Love you. Ber

TeamGB or not TeamGB? That is the question

The row over proposals to field men's and women's football teams representing Great Britain at the 2012 Olympic Games is rumbling on.

British Olympics Association chief Simon Clegg insists teams representing comprised of players from Scotland, England and Wales and Northern Ireland will compete when the Olympics arrive to London in 2012.

But the Scottish (SFA), Welsh (FAW) and Northern Ireland Football Associations have all opposed the idea, because, despite assurances to the contrary from Fifa, they believe any involvement with a British team could jeopardise their current status with the games governing bodies.

The UK entered a football team into the Olympic Games from 1908 until 1972, and Fifa President Sepp Blatter has said: “For us there is no problem, I don't know why they are concerned.”

But current Irish Football Association president Raymond Kennedy insisted: "We would not want to compromise our national identity in this way."

Those sentiments were echoed by a Football Association of Wales spokesman who said:"Nothing has changed from our point of view – our secretary David Collins has been very clear, and said two years ago that he FAW will not undertake anything that would jeopardise its position as a separate nation within Fifa and Uefa, because it wants to continue playing football internationally as Wales."

While Scottish FA Chief executive Gordon Smith went as far as to say his association would prevent players from playing for a British team in the Games.

"All the players who are registered under the association or are Scottish international players would be prohibited from playing," he said.
And even former Scotland manager Craig Brown admits he harbours grave concerns about the wisdom of fielding a British team in 2012.

"It might be OK in a one-off situation, but would it be a one-off situation? I suspect this would be the thin edge of the wedge”, Brown said.
"If we (Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales) were to agree and join with England would we find that the World Cup and the European Championship would suddenly want a Great Britain team as well.

"Gordon Smith is right, I think. Russia, for example, has been split into 15 different countries now – 10 of them now play under Uefa juristiction, and five compete in Asia.

"Because of that, Fifa would like to combine some countries and make the whole situation more manageable.

"Although Blatter says this would be a one-off, it would be ideal for him. Would he say 'This has been very successful, we are now going to play as Great Britain from now'.

"We are proud of our nation and being Scottish. There is no way Scotland would like to sacrifice their national football team, and I am sure the English, Welsh and Irish feel the same.

"We could compete as Scotland and it would be great if we were all able to try to qualify to compete in the Olympics - but I don't think there is any chance of it being agreed in a Scottish context. It is not paranoia, it is logic."

And former Fifa vice-president David Will, who retired last May, has also urged Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to oppose the BOA’s “Team GB” plan.

Will said: "We should not take the chance of joining a British team, because there's nothing to stop an association saying 'the four British associations have played together at an Olympics, so they can do at a World Cup as well'."

"I'm sure Sepp Blatter means what he says but why should the associations take that chance?

"The World Cup is the biggest sporting event in the world and not the Olympics, despite what they say - it is more important to be in the World Cup as independent associations than in the Olympics as one.”

In an FSF poll conducted on the issue last year, 53% of fans voted against the idea of football teams representing Great Britain competing in the Olympic games.

NMB Bank Limited

Website NMB
Location Nepal
Key figures Impact story

NMB Bank’s mission is to be the best in growth, profit, customer care and socially responsible banking by way of:

  • Leveraging and integrating the existing strengths of the institution;
  • Reaching out to and serving a wide range of customers within and outside the country;
  • Developing a culture of ‘Giving Extra Care to Customers’;
  • Being innovative in designing and delivering services;
  • Adopting prudent investment practices to build a sound asset base;
  • Developing internal and external efficiencies through prudent use of technology;
  • Building operational efficiency through smarter processes and controls;
  • Providing exciting and challenging career prospects for employees;
  • Placing a high priority on stakeholders’ interests and statutory compliance;
  • Acting responsibly for making contributions to society.

Over the last two decades, NMB Bank has been successful in creating several milestones in the banking industry. Incorporated as Nepal Merchant Banking & Finance Limited in 1995, the bank had established itself as one of the most successful finance companies in the country.  Testament to its performance, Nepal Merchant Banking & Finance Limited was upgraded to a Commercial Bank in 2008 as NMB Bank Limited. It was the first time in the history of Nepali Financial Market that a ‘C’ class finance company had been upgraded to an ‘A’ class commercial bank. This was the first step in the bank’s vision to establish itself as one of the leading financial institutions in the country.

The bank has been forward looking in terms of adapting to the changes in the financial sector both locally and internationally. Over the years NMB has aligned its business structure for the financial inclusion of the deprived sectors through alliances with international agencies. The bank has opened a representative office in Malaysia to promote bilateral trade between the two countries. NMB Bank also has plans to open representative offices in other countries to promote trade and banking transactions.

The bank made history by merging with four financial institutions in 2015. The merger with Clean Energy Development Bank, Bhrikutee Development Bank, Pathibara Bikas Bank and Prudential Finance attracted media attention because it was the first time that five financial institutions joined to become a single entity, commencing fully-fledged operations the very next day.  The bank’s footprint will more than double to reach a wider distribution of the unbanked population; creating increased financial inclusion. The alliance with FMO is in line with the bank’s strategy to strengthen its portfolio in the energy sector, which holds immense potential for the growth of Nepal’s economy.

NMB Bank is on track to achieving the NRB specified capital base of NPR. 8 Billion within the stipulated time. The bank has already submitted its detailed plan of achieving this target to Nepal Rastra Bank. With a plan in place, and strong capital base, NMB Bank aims to establish itself as one of the top five commercial banks in the Nepalese financial market within a short period of time.

NMB Bank merged with four financial intuitions in 2015 (Clean Energy Development Bank, Bhrikutee Development Bank, Pathibara Bikas Bank and Prudential Finance). The merger strategically incorporates regional representation of the two biggest regional development banks, which strengthens NMB Bank’s retail base as well as increasing its footprint at a Pan- Nepal level. This unprecedented strategic move gives NMB Bank balanced distribution of the network across the country.

Management Board

The Board of Directors includes:

  • Pawan Kumar Golyan
  • Rajendra Kafle (Representative of Employee Provident Fund)
  • Manoj Kumar Goyal
  • Nico Pijl (Representative of FMO, The Netherlands)
  • Romani Prasad Pathak
  • Harischandra Subedi
  • Kamlesh Kumar Agrawal
  • Hari Babu Neupane
  • Jeevan Man Joshi

Market Focus, Products and Services

NMB Bank has been focused on providing tailor-made solutions to meet customers’ requirements, from individual savings to business financing.

The bank’s diverse portfolio of customers, ranging from corporate houses, mid-market firms to small and medium enterprises and micro finance customers, are provided with a range of financing options from working capital by way of overdraft/short term loans, to trade finance products structured to meet customers’ needs and their risk profile, either as part of a consortium or as a sole-banker.

It has been a perogative of NMB Bank to provide financing that creates change in the lives of people in the deprived sector. The bank’s micro finance unit has entered into agreements with several Micro Finance Institutions (MFIs), national and international non – profit organsations, for ‘access to finance programs’ in rural and semi-urban regions of the country. Remittance services assist in managing the influx of funds generated by foreign employment, which is a major contributor to the economy.

Retail financing deposit and loan products have been designed to address the requirement of the bank’s retail customers who are a prime focus for NMB Bank. Besides Home and Auto Loan, products like Professional Loan, Medical Emergency Loan, DEMAT, Consumer Durable Loan, dollar/debit/credit cards and mobile and internet banking (including insurance facilities of both life and non- life), have enabled customers to benefit from the bank’s services.

The country’s immense potential in hydro power holds the key to economic growth and the bank has been consistently providing financing to large and small scale hydro projects and has launched NMB Bank Solar Karja; financing for the installation of solar power equipment in residences and offices.  NMB Bank is among a limited number of banks enlisted by Alternative Energy Promotion Center (AEPC) to support the financial needs of individuals and organisations under its Urban Solar Program.

With ‘customer delight’ at the core of its values, the bank will continue to direct its efforts and resources to constantly develop products and services that meet these needs.

By following these tips and with the help of a reliable New York SEO company, you can achieve your business goals.

Analyze Your Brand

Knowing yourself is the first step. What’s your mission and purpose? Why are you doing what you are doing and why are you selling what you are selling? If everything is about making money, then you need to spend more time building your brand.

Your brand will deliver the message you want your customers to hear and see. You will gain credibility when it happens.

Update Your Website

You are way behind your competitors if you have not updated your site for three years or more. Your target audience and the products you are selling do matter. You must update your site to keep up with the changing times.

These days, your pages must load fast to keep your audience engaged. Your pages must be easy to read on any device. Only then will your credibility improve.

Keep Tabs on Your Social Media Accounts

Spend a few minutes every day to address the concerns you receive. Prioritize replying to complaints and answering questions. But, you must never forget to thank those who give favorable comments. Find time to chat with your fans or followers as well.

Comptoir Central Electrique Bar

One of the best places to go in Nice, especially after working all day or to meet up with friends is the Comptoir Central Electrique Bar.

Even on your own, it’s a cool spot to people watch and take in all the local activities in what has to be one of the most popular locations in the city, the gay district on rue Bonaparte, otherwise known as ‘le petit Marais’ lovingly named after the Marais gay district in Paris.

Seemingly without even trying, people have gravitated to the Comptoir Central Electrique from day one as it appears to have turned into a favorite place for many to gather in Nice.

Being in the perfect location, just a hop, skip and a jump down the street from Gossip Bar and practically on the lap of Malabar Station Cruising Bar next door…almost perhaps way to convenient being next to that place, especially after a couple of glasses of rosé wine, one could get into all kinds of trouble just by hanging out at CCE during the evening.
The Comptoir Central Electrique Bar has a décor that is on trend with a touch of the original rough edges showcased to help state the history of the space. It’s a welcoming, comfortable environment that doesn’t fall into the wannabe hipster category.

Hot off the menu is simple, economical yet appetizing food served for lunch and dinner, it’s a great place to choose for a meeting within the restaurant area or if you want to grab a bite with friends before heading out for the night.

Friends and I will even go just to catch up with one another and chat up the staff, who are sweet as hell, casually chic, know their stuff and are always cool, calm and collected.

And one of the best tips for this place is to always try and get a seat on the terrace. You’ll meet more people and never know who you will see walking by that might join you for a drink.

If you are visiting Nice and looking for a place to go, the Comptoir Central Electrique Bar is a must on your list!

    Tuner Pro software

    I have used Tuner Pro software for many years, and have always found it to be easy to use, along with many advanced features.

    V5 (Version 5) is the current version an has a lot of user customizability to it.

    Used mainy for GM and Ford, there are definitions for other manufacturers as well.

    Re: Tuner Pro software

    Is there some way to 'plug' into a internet motor to see what the changes made to the eprom would do? Is that even possible.

    I actually, I guess, is there a theroretical computer engine that can be programed for number of cylinders, fuel induction style, altitude, etc, etc,?

    That way if you really make some dramatic changes and the motor blows at say 3200 rpm you wouldn't really blow the motor, just have to examine your log and adjust the inputs

    Re: Tuner Pro software

    I don't know of one. I do have a test bench made of a TBI intake manifold and a drill for distributor and a vacuum pump for MAP.

    Then I bought a JimStim Simulater that does most of that and I can run an ECM.

    I think you starting this backwards. You are supposed to record data, then use the data for improvements in fuel lets say. Then record data to see if you worked out that spot.

    If you had a Wide Band O2 sensor hooked up while tuning then you would know not to go to lean (MELT) and use your knock sensor to look for to much timing (DETONATION kinda like a broken melt)

    Re: Tuner Pro software

    mudbuggy, what you're describing is on the absolute edge of being impossible.

    you would need to accurately simulate an engine and all of the possible flaws it has, without knowing all of the possible flaws of an engine.

    and even if you could create this theoretical engine, it would be foolish to base adjustments off of it, since EVERY motor is different.

Can Bigfoot Read Minds?

Someone was asking me about Bigfoot and mind control. Here's how I see it  -

I don't take exceptional descriptions of an obviously biological entity with scent, hair, and footprints and give it exceptional explanations. I work within the realms of science and what we know about other inhabitants of our realm.

What we know is that people frequently report either being disoriented, dazed walking, unable to walk, nauseous, uneasy, and more. If Bigfoot is such a highly secretive being, who will do anything to not encounter you - then if he had the ability to produce infrasound and that infrasound unsettled your pineal gland in your brain, it would be able to produce uneasy effects like these to nudge you away. Very passive and effective technique. This is very much an explanation grounded in this world.

We "hairless ones" have psychic capabilities, but if it was critical to know if someone had entered our territory, wouldn't we want to develop these capabilities better to avoid the "others" who enter? One of the most supporting bits of evidence of psychic sensitivity, I believe, is that Sasquatch are so very good at remaining hidden until we leave their land. Upon occasion they are caught off guard and I believe that has more to do with our own thought processes. If we are daydreaming, relaxed, and not terribly active in our thought process, we are likely to be able to run across them unsuspecting. As a psychic, I can tell you, the more a person thinks, the easier they are to read. There is an energy in a fast computing brain that is easy to tap into and sense, especially if that person's mind is on me. Sasquatch is likely to have an overactive sensitivity to people focusing their intent upon them.

Another feature of psychic minds is the ability to receive. There is a difference between reading minds and mind control - a HUGE difference. A psychic does not will you to do anything. A psychic can receive information and intent from you, memories and emotions. One habituator claimed that they could give a Sasquatch on the property a message to meet up somewhere at a certain time and bring something and that Tall One would do just that. That was a reportedly special mind connection that occurs when a psychic deems someone an important link. The people that I love, if they're thinking of me or want to contact me, I know it right away. I have relegated the "frequency" of their intent to be a signal I wish to be honed in on. Whether or not Sasquatch has mesmerizing abilities to put you into a trance state and make you dance like a chicken, I don't know, but we certainly don't see evidence of exceptionally insane behavior in the woodlands (other than the ones who report they've killed a Bigfoot and pseudo-documentary film crews).

If you're worried they can take over your mind, just still that thought. They are not taking over our minds and impressing their will upon us. Their mind capabilities wouldn't necessarily spread to controlling our thinking processes. Bigfoot spends a lot of time imitating animal sounds. They are not psychically coordinating, but they are using what is in the woods to throw others off. They may be tricky, but they are not psychically manipulative or they would rule the entire planet.

How many people go into the woods riding ATVs, drinking beer and hunting and riling up Bigfoot's breeding ground and home? Does he come out and beat the crap out of them? No.  But, if someone did that on your property near your family, wouldn't you take your gun to them?

Bigfoot is passive, he maybe mighty but he doesn't have to use it.

In fact, we could learn much from them by their tenacious survival instincts and dignity in the face of the uncaring hairless ones in the woods.
