Insurance is an essential investment that helps by providing critical financial protection in the event of accidents, fire, theft, injury/death and more. The other side of this is that many view it as a pricey investment each year but it is more affordable than paying these costs out of pocket. Depending on what you're looking for, we can help find an affordable option for you.
We see so many commercials from dozens of insurance companies offering 15% savings in 15 minutes or that they'll show you a price comparison of other companies so you can choose the cheapest option. This is where the danger lies. Should you really choose your auto insurance based solely on the company name and lowest price? Do you really trust your insurance protection to be figured out in 15 minutes?
Imagine you are in the market for a new car. A vehicle that will be reliable, protect your family riding in it, safely handle through the winter months, and have the capabilities to haul what you need. There are probably some features you would want: seating capacity, drive system, safety rating,
Perfect! What a deal, you can get a Volkswagen which you've heard great things about. Many of their advertisements boast about safety and reliability and it is only half the cost of the next
My guess is that you probably would not be thrilled with your purchase nor would your family. How can you compare a product or service differentiated solely by price and expect it to lead to an informed decision? Having multiple companies to compare is a great tool for consumers but without attention, you could be caught in a tough financial predicament down the road. This strategy doesn't allow you to identify anything regarding coverages, exclusions, conditions and other policy features.
The difference between price and companies(standard vs nonstandard) may lead to a costly mistake in the future. Some situations where exclusions or differences may kick in include:
Shopping for insurance, healthcare or a safe car isn't like driving down the road looking for the cheapest gas. It is good to see how prices stack up but you have to be sure you know what is covered under one policy compared to the other. Often times, people forget that an insurance policy is a contract - between you and the company. By paying your premium on time and abiding by the rules, the company will provide "x" in coverage. That is where your Independent Agent can help to easily compare coverage, claims handling and price to help you make the right decision for you.

Fitzwilliam Arms
The village pub is often the centre of village life, but in the case of the Fitzwilliam Arms, it was a long walk for a pint! The pub was actually in Station road, Irthlingborough, but until the boundary changed in 1987 (under the East Northamptonshire (Parishes) order 1987), this was part of the parish. It was named after the Fitzwilliam family, who were the principle landowners in the Higham Ferrers parish and surrounding area.
The Fitzwilliam Arms was owned by the Corporation of Higham Ferrers and leased to Campbell Pread during the late 1800's, until purchased by Campbell Praed & Co of Wellingborough in 1903.
In 1938 the brewery decided the Cottage in Little Irchester looked a better prospect and applied to move the alehouse license from the Fitzwilliam Arms. The pub closed in April of that year and is now a private residence.
The Campbell Praed brewery and tied houses were acquired by Phipps Brewery Co in 1954.

Quotable: "The most accessible work in Amos' catalog…also the most influential and rewarding." – Steve Huey, All Music Guide
About the Album:
"With her haunting solo debut Little Earthquakes, Tori Amos carved the template for the female singer/songwriter movement of the '90s." SH As both a classically trained pianist and a singer with "the attitude of an alternative rocker," JD she was "a sometimes spacey, new-age chanteuse with a flair for cynical satire, and a raging punk who could also play the flighty faerie princess." JD Her "delicate, prog rock piano work and confessional, poetically quirky lyrics invited close emotional connection" SH and "stressed emotion over technique." JD.
"As the disc's 'Tori-in-a-box' cover art evocatively illustrated, Amos would never be an artist who could be pigeonholed, stereotyped or walled in in any way. She proudly flaunted the many conflicting sides of her artistic persona, leaving listeners to sort out what it all means." JD
"Amos grew up in Baltimore, the outspoken daughter of a Scottish Methodist preacher and a mother who was part Cherokee. She was a child prodigy on the piano, entered the Peabody Institute at age 5 and was expelled at 11. In the late '80s, she fronted a pop-metal band called Y Kant Tori Read. The group released one album that flopped, prompting Amos to move to England in 1990. There, she reinvented herself as a solo artist and began recording her debut, drawing inspiration from a number of heroines ranging from Kate Bush to Patti Smith." JD
"Working on several tracks with producer and then-boyfriend Eric Rosse, Amos kept the sound spare but tuneful, mostly focusing on her fluid piano playing and soaring vocals. Like Leonard Cohen before her, she proved that these two simple sonic elements can pack as powerful a wallop as Nirvana's crushing guitar, bass and drums. (Shortly after the album's release, she paid homage to the Seattle trio with her own striking cover of 'Smells Like Teen Spirit,' which none other than Kurt Cobain hailed for its creative reimagining of his song)." JD
"But what really elevated Little Earthquakes from similarly minimalist singer-songwriter, adult-alternative fare was its songs' emotional content." JD Its "intimacy is uncompromising, intense, and often far from comforting" SH as "Amos tackles hot-button topics such as gender stereotyping, religious conservatism, male hegemony and rape." JD Her "musings…were just as likely to encompass rage, sarcasm, and defiant independence as pain or tenderness" SH and she did so "in a frank, unflinching, and alternately poignant and heartbreakingly funny manner;" JD "sometimes, it all happened in the same song." SH
"The apex of that intimacy is the harrowing Me and a Gun;" SH it is "the album's most striking track, and the one most indicative of the artist's honest-at-all-costs approach." JD "Amos strips away all the music, save for her own voice, and confronts the listener with the story of her own real-life rape; the free-associative lyrics come off as a heart-wrenching attempt to block out the ordeal." SH ('Me and a gun/And a man/On my back/But I haven't seen Barbados/So I must get out of this').
"Crucify is a brutal look in the mirror of self-examination ('Every finger in the room is pointing at me/I wanna spit in their faces.../Why do we crucify ourselves/Every day I crucify myself'). Girl chronicles the never-ending search for a strong feminine identity ('She's been everybody else's girl/Maybe someday she'll be her own')." JD
"Little Earthquakes isn't always so stomach-churning, but it never seems less than deeply cathartic; it's the sound of a young woman (like the protagonist of Silent All These Years) finally learning to use her own voice – sort of the musical equivalent of Mary Pipher's Reviving Ophelia." SH That song "is a furious protest against an unnamed man (her father? a lover?) who has kept her down for far too long ('Well, I love the way we communicate/Your eyes focus on my funny lip shape/Let's hear what you think of me now but baby don't look up/The sky is falling')." JD
"That's why Amos draws strength from her relentless vulnerability, and that's why the constantly shifting emotions of the material never seem illogical – Amos simply delights in the frankness of her own responses, whatever they might be." SH "Like a great, soulful blues artist, Amos finds catharsis from personal pain in her music. But like the best rock 'n' rollers (Cobain among them), she entertains, inspires and energizes while she's doing it. And the impact of her songs is indeed like the 'little earthquakes' referenced in the title." JD
"Though her subsequent albums were often very strong, Amos would never bare her soul quite so directly (or comprehensibly) as she did here, nor with such consistently focused results. Little Earthquakes is the most accessible work in Amos' catalog, and it's also the most influential and rewarding." SH
Notes: A 2015 deluxe edition added a second disc with eighteen B-sides and live cuts.

A Septic Shock
Are the lactate levels of sepsis patients measured according to recommendations?
Sepsis. A diagnosis that strikes fear into the heart of anyone who knows how severe it can be and how quickly it can worsen. And because sepsis is becoming more prevalent, new protocols have been issued for its management; for example, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' (CMS) Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock Early Management (SEP-1) bundle (1). One recommendation is serum lactic acid level measurement within three hours of severe sepsis presentation, and again within six hours if the initial measurement is elevated. Is this a practical goal – and, if so, why and how should it be implemented? To learn more, we spoke to Matthew Churpek and Xuan (Susan) Han – authors of a study revealing that many patients don't have these measurements taken (2).

|So there you are with Derek Atlas slamming his balls against your chin and his cock filling every inch of your watering mouth. Are you really going to complain. Brett Swanson found himself in this very same position, surrounded by big hard muscle as Derek, who's one of the hottest hung bodybuilders around, was using his face like a Fleshjack. But that just made his hole hungry for some major ass ramming as he flipped over and took that huge hunk of beef and rode it for all it was worth. The look of pure contentment is so sexy as you watch Brett just take it all in stride. And it's especially wild knowing full well that Derek's enormous cock is totally pounding his rear. No wonder he's got such a reputation for being such a super hot bottom. And the contrast of having Brett, who's pretty muscular in his own right, up against Derek's huge muscle stud frame is pretty striking. And even better when Brett lets out a torrent of cum so huge it splatters his whole stomach.

My son is on the high functioning end of the autism scale, so this subject is near and dear to my heart as well. Scouting has been *so* beneficial to my son. I will be forever grateful to the adult leaders who have given generously of their time and patience to help him grow. That said, I have to point out a major problem with Stosh's reasoning. The "how do you know until you try" attitude hasn't come up with us in Scouts (thankfully), but it has in drama at school. It was an awful experience for our son and for us. He finished the year, but he never wants to be in the school drama program again, which is sad as he enjoys drama and in general drama programs at our church and the county art center have been very good for him. The problem was the teacher in charge who had the "how do you know until you try" attitude, which assumes that the child in question has never tried the skill before in a different class, group, or medical setting. My child's autism might be new to you, but it's definitely not new to us. The teacher we dealt with who had this attitude completely ignored my concerns as a parent, and pretty much made my son miserable. This is what I would like to say to her, but can't, since she's an 80 year old volunteer and pretty much gets away with anything. "Ma'am, I know what my son is capable of, and what will result in many hours of frustration and crying, because I'm his mom. I've been working with his disability for 11 years. You met him last month for the first time. On a weekly basis, I take my son to speech therapy, occupational therapy, and a social skills class. We spend many hours with the audiologist and the developmental pediatrician. Also, his teachers and the IEP team at school. Here is his IEP, clearly specifying that what you want him to do (write long essays) is very difficult for him due to autism and expressive language disorder. He's also catching up on his language development as we finally figured out after years of trying with various doctors that he can't comprehend about 40% of what is said to him due to neurological hearing issues (autism). So, ma'am, when you tell him to write you an essay (why are we doing this in after school drama?), it is a big deal for him. He did do it, ma'am. He did his very best, and worked very hard on it, ma'am. I got your note about how it "wasn't up to 4th grade standards". No shit, ma'am. Really? I gave you a copy of his IEP and tried to talk with you about it (you said it didn't legally apply to you). His actual 4th grade teachers would never demand that he do what you demanded he do. They understand his mental limitations in writing. That's why he is in a pullout small group for writing with a parapro instead of the mainstream class. He'd way above his peers in science and math (and chess and robotics), but yes, he's below grade level in writing. It's called a disability, ma'am. Autistic kids don't develop in the pattern you're used to across the board. They can excel greatly in one area and lag way behind in another. That's why he has a parapro, and accommodations. He's grown so much in his writing skills. That's a result of kindness, help, and attention at school and at home. He didn't get there by being told that "he can do it if he tries". You have no clue how hard my son works, lady. He spends hours every week in classes and therapy to develop skills most kids take for granted. " She never did back off on making him produce that 4th grade level essay to her satisfaction. She refused to see me to discuss my concerns. I found out later that she had him pulled from his regular classes without my knowledge or permission during the school day and sent to the office so the guidance counselor could work with him one on one to produce this #%#$%#$% essay that she decided the world would end without. I was tempted to file a formal complaint with the county, but decided it would do more harm than good. All that to day, Stosh, you don't decide when pushing is appropriate, and parents have no obligation to argue with you about their child's medical limitations. Suggest a challenge, sure. Argue with me? Hell, no. Vent over. Just a window into the other point of view. It is exhausting for my son and for me to keep proving to new people over and over and over that yes, he really does have a disability. I am well aware of what he can do if challenged and what is beyond him at this time. I'm not bringing him to scouts and staying with him for all the activities so we can scam the BSA into giving him bling he didn't earn. I'm here to help him grow. Please give me the respect of listening to me as the person who knows and loves him best as to when it is best to push and when it is best to back off. And your "autism excuse" comment is way over the line. It's a genuine medical problem, and you should treat kids and their parents with more respect. GeorgiaMom
STEM Scout pilot program
GeorgiaMom replied to click23's topic in Open Discussion - ProgramI haven't read every response, but I get the gist that some are unhappy about the encroachment of "couch potato" activities into the Scouting program. I'd like to offer another perspective as the parent of a child with high functioning autism who *loves* being a Scout. Disability friendly activities like STEM can encourage involvement by scouts who might otherwise be intimidated if the program is too challenging. I get that you don't want to see the outdoor challenge dumbed down. I also know that the STEM portions of the program are a place where my child is comfortable and can build his confidence and relationships with the other scouts. Then, he feels more confident about tackling the more challenging outdoor part of the program, which has been tremendously beneficial to him. Instead of thinking of the less physically challenging part of the program as "couch potato scouting", it might be more helpful to think of it as "never leave a man behind". Our family is very grateful for the way scouting has benefited our son, Georgia Mom
Scout Leader Ethics
GeorgiaMom replied to Scouter915's topic in Open Discussion - ProgramI have been a professional author for over 20 years. I have seen how piracy is killing the careers and income of many content creators, including mine. I just want to say thank you to those who treat my work and the work of others with honesty and respect. GeorgiaMom
memorization requirements ?
GeorgiaMom replied to IM_Kathy's topic in Scouts with DisabilitiesIM_Kathy, as a parent of an autistic scout with auditory processing disorder, I appreciate your concern about doing the right thing for your Scout. I hope we find similar advisors when my Webelo transitions next year. FWIW, here is my take: Neurological issues of any kind are complicated and may not make sense to volunteers or teachers. We are in a constant state of explaining what our son can and cannot do. We have dealt with this for years. Our son sees speech therapists and occupational therapists every week. Our son has splinter skills, which are common in autism. He can do some things way above age level, and others way below age level. It often does not make sense to people outside our family and doctors. For instance, our son is very, very good at memorizing written scripts. He can do very well in drama. He delivers memorized written speech like memorex without stuttering, and generally without missing a word or a beat. At the same time, he cannot process auditory information well at all. We had a drama teacher once who insisted on not writing the script down because she wanted the freedom to keep changing it. :-( She insisted on telling our son his lines orally, and just could not understand that his brain is not capable of processing information received in that manner. It frustrated our son to tears, and he ended up quitting. The upshot is: please listen to the parents. They spend a lot of time with doctors and therapists helping their child do his best. It doesn't matter if it makes sense to the volunteer. It is exhausting explaining the entire medical rigamarole to every volunteer, and occasionally having to argue about it. It is very hard on the child to have to prove yet again that he really can't do certain things. Please just accept it when the parents say "my son can do this, but he can't do that". (can you tell we've been dealing with a very frustrating volunteer this year?) It is my understanding that Scouts are a developmental organization, designed for inclusion of disabled children, hence the "do your best" requirement. Our son absolutely loves being a Scout, and it has been good for him. We are currently looking for a Boy Scout troop that will be a good environment for our autistic son. Our biggest question is the willingness of the volunteers to listen to us, and understand what our son can and cannot do. My fear for my son is that he will have an experience similar to a friend's. Her son is also autistic, and has tremendous difficulty writing (as does my son). In her son's troop, his merit badge counselor insisted on written reports for every badge. It was exhausting. Her son quit. It was very sad. I understand what her son went through because I know it takes my son 4-5 hours to produce a single written page. I am disturbed by the comment that the child isn't interested in Eagle, he just wants to be a Scout. Why is this wrong? For some kids, especially disabled kids, the learning experience and social environment are the goal, not the bling on the uniform. We look to our son's den as the cream of the crop among the little boys at his school, where he can learn social skills without being bullied or teased. That is a valid goal. It should come down to what is best for the disabled child. I've been told many times that Scouting can be a wonderful developmental environment for disabled children. Please let it be that for this child. Thanks for volunteering your time with the kids, GeorgiaMom
Jblake47, good job teaching your daughters to protect themselves. My own daughter is in jiu jitsu. I think your daughter said it best: "No problem, I avoid problem areas and know how to take care of myself." In my mind, a crew where girls are groped and the leadership does nothing is a problem area to be avoided. Ditto any group where a child is sent to the hospital and nothing is done. I hope scouts can maintain a better environment than this for kids. How do you teach skills and values to kids when they don't even feel safe? Ga mom
It wasn't my intention to misuse the term "Asperger's". My son has only been diagnosed for less than a year, and I am definitely climbing a steep learning curve. He has other learning disorders, including auditory processing disorder and dysgraphia. It is hard for me to know sometimes where one disability stops and the other starts. Thank you, RememberSchiff, for an excellent description. My son is also great at visual learning, but terrible at auditory learning. It is very frustrating when a child can repeat pages he has read verbatim, and yet cannot repeat back a 3 item list that is spoken to him. Nevertheless, this is part of the problem my son is experiencing. I see nothing wrong with expecting parents to help their own child with learning disorders. I doubt that most parents of LD kids are trying to wear out the volunteers with extra work. I've always asked for resources so I can give my child extra help at home. Mostly, I'm looking for understanding. Thanks, GeorgiaMom
Thanks, Perdidochas. I should clarify that it is not my intent to bully any volunteer by requiring they follow my child't IEP. That's much more legalistic than what I had in mind. I wish we could find a reasonable compromise between the admittedly granular and legalistic requirements in an IEP and the whim of an MB counselor who told my friend that learning disabilities are just a crock, end of discussion. It is very frustrating as a parent to constantly have to prove that your child really does have a legitimate issue, and I wish there was a reasonable way to provide documentation. I am happy to hear that the emphasis on producing massive amounts of writing for every MB might just be a personal decision by this particular MB, not the organization as a whole. I will explore further. Thanks! GeorgiaMom
Perdidochas, the lawsuit might be via the Americans With Disabilities Act. A mental disability like Asperger's or autism is no different than being in a wheelchair in the eyes of the law. Businesses and groups that serve the public are required to make "reasonable accommodations", such as allowing the father to help with those portions of an MB the son can't do. As the mom of a learning disabled child, I understand the father's frustration. To put it another way, would you object to the father pushing a wheelchair bound son on a hike to help him earn his Outdoorsman badge? If not, then why object to a parent helping a child do the written portion of a merit badge when he has a medical disability that causes him extreme difficulty? It takes my son 4-5 hours to write a one page report. I'm not kidding. He can speak the answers to me very fluently, but when it comes to writing it down, he just can't do it. The school has tested him thoroughly and set up accommodations for him. I understand my friend's frustration with her son's MB counselor. Her son's MB counselor just dismissed his learning disabilitiy and made no accommodation for him. These disabilities are thoroughly tested and documented. It's difficult when you can't point to the part of your child's brain that doesn't work in the same way you can point to a wheelchair. It's hard to prove, especially to a volunteer who may have no training in learning disabilities. Would it be too much to ask for a pack, crew, or troop to at least accept and honor a child's IEP from school for a documented learning disability? GeorgiaMom
Dear Fox 76, I'm so sorry to hear about how the father of your Asperger's Scout is treating you. It's awful that a lawsuit is being threatened. Thank you for volunteering your time with the boys. As the mother of an Asperger's Webelo, I have a few thoughts: 1. I love the gentle and nonconfrontational approach RememberSchiff described. I understand the trepidation a parent can have about being "out" with their child's intellectual disability. I haven't yet told my son's den leader, although I know I shouid. It's scary. I don't know how he may react. RS is describing a great way of establishing a friendly and trusting relationship with all the Scouts' parents so that he can create an environment of safety for the parents to talk about their son's disability. 2. I got very discouraging news from the parent of an older Scout the other day who has dropped out of Boy Scouts due to his intellectual disability. Like my son, her son has extreme difficulty with written and spoken language. My son has a high IQ and is terrific in science, chess, building things, etc. He has great difficulty speaking or writing about what he has done. My friend's son got an MB counselor who insisted he write out what he had done in detail with no help from his parents. He couldn't do it, and quit Scouting altogether. My friend said the MB counselor didn't care to hear about her son's IEP in school or learning disability. If my child had that counselor, we'd be in the same boat. When you say "the father started doing his MB for him", Fox 76, are we talking about helping a learning disable child with the portion he can't do (writing?), or truly doing the whole thing for him? My son can build you a working trebuchet, but he truly can't write above a kindergarten level. What do we do in cases like this? 3. We are blessed that our son does not lash out or scream when he feels overwhelmed. He just zones out into his own imagination very quietly. It does make him appear unfriendly. The truth is he gets along very well with one or two good friends at a time, but a large, loud, busy group is just too much for him. What do we do? I am seriously considering whether we should make the jump to Boy Scouts next year. I would appreciate hearing constructive advice from Scouters as to how this has gone for them. I have already had some great responses to earlier questions on this board, thank you. I am specifically interested in how to deal with the MB writing issue that caused my friend's son to quit. Thanks, GeorgiaMom
Sending a boy to the hospital is a big deal. So is the groping of girls in his Venturing crew. This boy's exit is already overdue. I would not allow my son or my daughter to remain in an environment in which they are treated in this manner. As the mom of a Webelo considering whether or not he should progress to Boy Scouts, I look carefully at reports like these. I find it unimaginable that it happened at all, much less that any organization would consider keeping a member like this. If packs, troops, and crews continue bowing to kids like this, and their parents, soon this type of kid is all you will have left. Is this what you want Scouting to become? FYI, in my state (Georgia) we have a relatively new state law requiring that anyone working with children report suspected cases of child abuse to the police within 24 hours. Where I live, the troop/crew leader would not have the option of deciding whether or not to report it to the police. I don't know about the laws in other states, but it would be worth googling "mandated reporter". GeorgiaMom
Hard to imagine a worse response from the BSA. A "good civics lesson"? I would be livid if my child had been held at gunpoint like that. GeorgiaMom
Camps, Modern over Rustic, whats happing to the camps?
GeorgiaMom replied to baggss's topic in Summer CampTo their credit, a couple of EE parents did their darndest to get my CPAP to work on the only time I did take it on a campout. They got the blower working on a car battery, but not the heater. I just couldn't sleep with freezing air blowing in my lungs, so I basically stayed awake all night. That's the last campout I went on. I've researched thoroughly with my doctor, etc, and if there's a way to make a CPAP work on battery power, we can't find one. I doubt my daughter would go for a pit toilet, but thanks for the suggestion. I think the whole culture of our pack has issues. The two male leaders don't show much common sense or consideration for the women they ask to help, and they shouldn't be surprised that our ranks are shrinking. Two years ago, they took over a pack with 70+ kids. After their first year in charge, it had shrunk to 20 kids. I have no idea how many might show up next month. I only help at the den level now, never again as a leader. Too many emergencies on my part due to a lack of planning on their part. I see your point about primitive camping being good for the boys. It's just going to take a minimum number of male leaders to step up and make that happen, as most moms with babies and younger siblings aren't prepared to deal with it. Hopefully, more dads in our own pack will step up. GeorgiaMom

GeorgiaMom replied to baggss's topic in Summer CampI should probably just find another pack. Ours is run by two men (cc and cm) and three women. It was five until my friend with the newborn and I quit. I felt like the pack scullery maid. The female leaders did *all* the cooking, cleaning, hauling, shopping, paperwork and fundraising, while the cc and cm ran the pinewood derby and basically relived their own scouting childhoods. Of the five women who stepped up, all had younger children and babies. Sorry, but my three year old daughter just won't use a cathole in the woods. Fact of life: most women, especially those with young kids and babies, just aren't comfortable with primitive camping. Honestly, to ask me to wear six different hats to support the pack and then complain about my cpap machine and little daughter just shows a total lack of class. If men want this primitive experience for their boys, then they need to step up and actually do all the work to make that happen. Georgia Mom

GeorgiaMom replied to Chagrined Chair's topic in Open Discussion - ProgramDear chagrined Chair, I had a similar experience when volunteering at church years ago. It is dehumanizing. I get it. He is married. You are married. You're a mom volunteering. He has no business whatsoever behaving so crudely toward you. As a parent, I also would not want this lech mentoring my son. Ick It's not a petty concern, even with the cor's heart attack. They are two separate issues. The co should appoint an interim cor. In the meantime, there must be someone with the co who can hear your concerns. It sounds like the whole troop is a mess. If you can, I would consider finding a different troop. It isn't your responsibility to fix all this by yourself, and it sounds like the other parents aren't willing to step up and help. Good luck, GeorgiaMom
Camps, Modern over Rustic, whats happing to the camps?
GeorgiaMom replied to baggss's topic in Summer CampYes, I have a medical issue. The pack leaders still asked me to do six different jobs last year because they badly needed the help. Why am I in Scouting? Because my autistic son absolutely loves being a Scout, and I want to make that happen for him. Honestly, the sarcasm here has gotten on my last nerve. I have also received some good advice and support here, which I appreciate, but lately it just isn't a friendly environment for anyone who doesn't fit the mountain man/boy mold. GeorgiaMom

Swimming spat to soured deals put chill on China-Aussie ties
[HONG KONG] It's been a bad week for China-Australia ties.
Normally able to navigate tensions caused by criticism of China for its territorial assertiveness in the South China Sea, a spat involving Olympic swimmers and a scuppered bid for Australia's electricity grid have cast a more palpable chill over the relationship.
For both countries, that potentially matters. China is Australia's largest trading partner, and was a key engine of its decade-long mining boom, taking a large chunk of Australia's resource exports.
For China, investment in Australia potentially provides it a more secure supply of land, water and commodities.
On Thursday, Australia rejected bids for electricity network Ausgrid from Hong Kong billionaire Li Ka-shing and State Grid Corp of China. Treasurer Scott Morrison said it would be contrary to national security to allow the offers to proceed in their current form.

It's another sign that protectionism is on the rise in Australia, where Mr Morrison earlier this year blocked the sale of the nation's largest cattle rancher to a Chinese-led group.
By associating potential Chinese investment with security threats, Australia could risk ramifications to a relationship that has endured on the economic side despite political ups and downs.
China's rise as a regional power could also complicate ties given Australia is a key US ally in Asia.
"It's not necessary to escalate something that's by nature business to the level of political and security concern," said Su Hao, a professor of diplomacy at the China Foreign Affairs University. "It'll turn a win-win to a lose-lose scenario," Prof Su said.
James Laurenceson, deputy director of the Australia-China Relations Institute at the University of Technology Sydney, said the Chinese will have "every right to feel disappointed" and noted the countries had signed a memorandum of understanding in 2012 to boost cooperation on delivering infrastructure.
"The Chinese will also be confused," he wrote in a post for the Lowy Institute's Interpreter website. "What hurdles will they face next time? In the eyes of Chinese investors, the sovereign risk of investing in Australia must surely have just jumped."
China's official Xinhua News Agency issued a commentary after the Ausgrid news, warning against a "dangerous mind-set of China-phobia" and saying paranoia over Chinese investment could set back efforts to stimulate global growth.
The Ausgrid development comes after Australia was splashed repeatedly across state and social media in China over the past week, for swimming champion Mack Horton's public remarks at the Rio Olympics describing Chinese rival Sun Yang as a "drugs cheat". The war of words intensified to the official level with China demanding an apology.
In a commentary published in Chinese Aug 7, the state-run Global Times described Australia as "a country at the fringes of civilisation" and a one-time "Britain's offshore prison".
"This suggests that no one should be surprised at uncivilised acts emanating from the country," it said. The English version of the commentary the next day castigated Australia as a "second-class citizen in the West."
Tens of thousands of Chinese fans bombarded Horton's social media accounts, calling him a "snake" and "loser". His Instagram account received more than 200,000 critical comments.
Some China pundits noted the number of Sun Yang fans on Weibo, China's main social media platform, hit 28.7 million, more than Australia's population.
Sun served a three-month suspension two years ago for using a banned stimulant, which he said was treatment for a heart issue.
The tensions in the pool in Rio are a microcosm of a broader suspicion in Australia over China's territorial and military ambitions in the Asia-Pacific region. Australia has backed the US in the South China Sea, even though neither country is a claimant, with Australia flying aerial patrols and hosting US marines in its northern port city of Darwin.
Australia is also a member of the 12 nation Trans-Pacific Partnership, a US-led trade pact that does not include China. Beijing has been touting a separate regional trade deal and forming new institutions including an infrastructure bank that would potentially counter western-run organisations.
Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop was chided in February by China for saying the Philippines had the right to take China to an international court over their conflicting South China Sea claims.
Australia "should adopt an objective and unbiased attitude and refrain from doing anything that undermines regional peace and stability," Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said at the time.
Tensions between the countries have spiked before and then faded. Australia dominated headlines in China in 2009 after the arrest of Stern Hu, an Australian executive who led Rio Tinto Group's China iron ore unit, on suspicion of spying. Mr Hu was sentenced in May 2010 by a Shanghai court to 10 years jail for taking bribes from steel mills and infringing commercial secrets.
"There is no fundamental rivalry between China and Australia," said Shen Shishun, a senior researcher at the China Institute of International Studies under China's Foreign Ministry.
Still, "on the China end, this would cause displeasure in Beijing, and if things like this happen too often in the future, bilateral relations would suffer," Mr Shen said of the Ausgrid decision.
"It's possible that Australia is under the US's sway."

WTI, Brent End at Three-Week Highs
WTI, Brent End at Three-Week Highs
WASHINGTON, D.C. (DTN) -- New York Mercantile Exchange oil futures nearest delivery and Intercontinental Exchange Brent futures settled mixed, with the West Texas Intermediate, Brent and ULSD contracts settling at three-week highs on their spot continuation charts, while RBOB futures reversed down amid consolidation.
WTI and Brent futures maintained their short-term uptrend in a longer-term downtrend during the first session of the week, bolstered by a Wall Street Journal (WSJ) report late morning Monday that Saudi Arabia wants to cut its crude exports to 7.1 million barrels per day (bpd) by the end of January, down from more than 7.9 million bpd in November. WSJ indicates the Saudis need global oil prices at $80 a barrel (bbl) to fund its budget, which includes efforts to stimulate its sagging economy.
Reports also cite a United Arab Emirates official indicating the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries might meet again ahead of its April biannual meeting to discuss another production cut. In December, OPEC, Russia, and nine non-OPEC oil producers agreed to reduce production by 1.2 million bpd for six months, which took effect Jan. 1.
Oil futures rallied in early trade as delegates from the United States met in Beijing with their counterparts Monday for a two-day meeting between mid-level officials, resuming face-to-face negotiations in an effort to resolve their trade dispute. Senior officials from both countries are scheduled to meet later this month. Monday was the first meeting between the two countries since Dec. 1 when U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping met in Argentina and agreed to a 90-day truce in their trade dispute.
The meeting raised cautious hope that the world's two largest economies would avoid an escalation in their trade disagreement that has already led to a string of tariffs on each country's imports, and has slowed growth in China. China's manufacturing sector contracted in December. While ending higher, crude futures backed off intraday highs, with February WTI futures trading in front of psychological resistance at $50 bbl with a $49.79 intraday high. A move above $50 bbl is seen triggering buy orders and extending the short-term uptrend.
Nymex February WTI futures settled up $0.56 at $48.52 bbl, with ICE March Brent ending $0.27 higher at $57.33 bbl. NYMEX February ULSD futures settled with a 0.92 cents gain at $1.7784 gallon, while February RBOB futures ended down 0.70 cents at $1.3408 gallon.
WTI futures were also lent upside support from a weaker U.S. dollar, which slid to a 2-1/2 month low in index trading this afternoon despite Friday's blockbuster employment report showing 312,000 jobs were created in December and higher wages. Restraining the currency's strength were comments by Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell on Friday that the central bank was not on a "pre-set" course in raising interest rates in 2019, easing market anxiety following Powell's ham-fisted news conference in December that suggested the Fed was ignoring the fourth quarter selloff in equities and commodities.
Equities were set to end the session with gains although, like oil futures, backed off early highs. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up more than 150 points in late trading, with the S&P 500 Index gaining 1%.Brian Milne can be reached at email@example.com

Fifth Starter Battle Begins With Slowey
Each week through Spring Training the DTTWLN staff will profile and break down the players in camp for the Indians at Goodyear, Arizona and examine their potential roles for the season to come. This week, we continue our Goodyear coverage by breaking down the players who are battling for a chance to make the Opening Day roster.
By Craig Gifford
When the Cleveland Indians acquired Derek Lowe from the Atlanta Braves this past Halloween, it seemed they would go into spring training with zero questions about their starting rotation. Lowe was set to join incumbents Ubaldo Jimenez, Justin Masterson, Josh Tomlin and Fausto Carmona as a starting five with question marks, but long on potential.
Plans got scrapped in January as Carmona applied for his visa to leave the Dominican Republic and head back to the United States. Carmona was arrested for assuming a false identity, his real name being Roberto Hernandez Heredia. With the loss of Hernandez for the foreseeable future, it put a once stable rotation into a state of flux.
Instead of being the No. 5 starter as most assumed, the 38-year-old Lowe will now likely open the season as the No. 4 man. A spot in the rotation became open, leading to one of the tougher positional battles this spring as to who the fifth start will be.
Rather than hope one of their in-house candidates could step forward, the Tribe went outside the organization and acquired veteran Kevin Slowey in a trade with the Colorado Rockies. It was a move indicating the team did not fully believe Hernandez would clear customs any time soon and that the organization was not completely enamored with the pitchers it has on the minor league level.
In five seasons, all with the Twins, who traded Slowey to the Rockies after the 2011 campaign, the right hander has had his ups and downs. It was mostly ups, however, until 2011. From 2007-2010, the 28-year-old enjoyed a lot of success. In 2010, he was 13-6 with a 4.45 ERA. He had his best ERA in 2008 at 3.99, with a 12-11 record. Always thought to be a reliable, middle-of-the-rotation starter, Indians management had been watching Slowey from a distance for several years.
However, Slowey's 2011 season was rocked with injuries. Shoulder and abdominal issues limited Slowey to just eight starts. Never pitching at perfect health, he struggled to his worst season, by far, slogging to an 0-8 record with a 6.67 ERA. Even with the nightmare season, though, Slowey's career numbers are a respectable 39-29 with a 4.66 ERA.
If Slowey can rebound to his pre-2011 form, he could slide nicely into the back end of the Tribe rotation. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee Slowey can fully bounce back, explaining why two teams in one offseason were willing to part ways with him.
Slowey will see a lot of competition for the final starting job from four in-house pitchers. The two starters with most tenure of that group are the left-handed David Huff and righty Jeanmar Gomez. Both have struggled at times, but both have shown potential.
Huff would give the Indians a southpaw that currently is not in the Cleveland rotation. However, he has much to prove. In 2009 and 2010, he posted ERAs of 5.61 and 6.21. In multiple tours of duty with the Tribe last year, it seemed Huff may finally have been figuring out the major leagues – posting a 2-6 record, but a vastly improved 4.09 ERA. Was that a sign of improvement or just a stretch of solid pitching that won't last? That is a question to be determined in the next month in Goodyear, Arizona.
Like Huff, Gomez has been up and down with the Tribe the last couple years. He struggled in 2010 and in his first go-round with the Indians last year. However, Gomez, like Huff, seemed to figure things out late in the season. He won his last four starts after a late-season promotion from AAA. Cleveland brass would love it if that was a sign he turned the corner and carries that momentum into this spring.
Two other in-house candidates for the fifth spot are rookies Zach McAllister and Scott Barnes. They are the true long-shots of this race. McAllister got his first taste of the big leagues last year, with four starts. He posted a 0-1 record and 6.11 ERA. He probably needs more seasoning on the farm. Barnes is interesting as he is a lefty the Indians could turn to at some point. After struggling in the minors for a couple years, he came on at Columbus last season. He was 7-4 with a 3.68 ERA and caught the eye of Indians management. He, too, likely needs some more time on the farm, but could be left-handed option later in the year.
That all leads back to Slowey. The former Twin has had, by far, the most success of all the potential No. 5 starters. If he can overcome last year's injuries and pitch like the pitcher of his first four years, he should get the first look when Cleveland breaks camp. He is supposedly healthy at this point. If that is true, he deserves a spot in the rotation. If he struggles early or goes down with injury again, the Indians are not out much and can turn to one of the handful of kids who will have gained just a little more experience in Columbus. Options – it's a nice problem for Cleveland to have.

R. Keith Loftin, "A Barthian Critique of the Covenant of Redemption," Trinity Journal 38, 2 (2017) 203-222
Loftin, R. Keith. "A Barthian Critique of the Covenant of Redemption." Trinity Journal 38, 2 (2017) 203-222
Interacts briefly with TFT and JBT.
The federal theological construct has been subjected to exegetical, methodological, hermeneutical, and theological critiques. This article develops a theological critique of this construct by developing the rejection of the covenant of redemption suggested in Karl Barth's Church Dogmatics: first, that no such pact is necessary in order to "establish the unity of the righteousness and mercy of God in relation to man," and second, that the very notion of such an intra- trinitarian foedus is untenable. Barth does advance a third objection, arguing that a pactum salutis entails a "covenantal dualism," which itself rests upon an (allegedly) flawed doctrine of the logos asarkos} It seems to me, though, that in denying the logos asarkos, it is Barth who attenuates the doctrine of the incarnation. Criticism shall therefore be focused on his first two contentions. It will be argued that Barth's objections yield theological insights that subvert the covenant of redemption, not only jeopardizing the federal construct but also undercutting a theologoumenon often used to infer a limited view of Christ's atonement.

Westlake Historical Society seeks your story
As a history major at Baldwin Wallace University, and previously as a student at Westlake High School, I have studied a myriad of events, throughout many different time periods, spanning all across the world. My fascination with history has remained constant, regardless of the era. It is not the great wars that have taken place or the monuments erected that continue to hold my interest, but the people.
I continue to be in awe of the impact that a single person can have on history. It's amazing to think that every single person has a unique story to tell and every story is important. Every person has shaped history.
They may not have created an expansive empire, but maybe they have done something as simple (or as great) as helping a person in need. Or maybe they were educators and passed their knowledge on to future generations. Whatever the case may be, they deserve to have their story heard.
This is why I am starting an oral history project through the Westlake Historical Society. Oral history provides people with an opportunity to give future generations valuable insight into the past by relaying their own, personal histories to an interviewer (in this case, me). By talking about the past, each participant in this oral history project will be helping to piece together the story of our community, or the community they came from.
I will be interviewing people about their lives, whether they grew up in Westlake, or currently live in Westlake or a surrounding area. There are no restrictions on those that can be interviewed; I simply ask that you are willing to share your story with me. Interviews can be conducted at the Clague House Museum, over the telephone, in person at Porter Library, whatever is most convenient for you.
If you are interested in being interviewed, please send an email to email@example.com, write "Oral History Project" in the subject bar, and it will be forwarded to me. I look forward to starting on this worthwhile project!

Jay Malone is a Canadian comedian from Kentville, Nova Scotia.
Malone began doing standup comedy in 1999 while studying at the University of New Brunswick in Fredericton. He entered a comedy competition at a local pool hall called the "Right Spot" on a dare and made it all the way to the semi-finals. The following summer, after doing shows around town with a short lived sketch/standup troupe in Fredericton, Malone made the move to Toronto to pursue comedy full-time. Within two years he was headlining across the country and appearing on television in both national and international commercials and comedic series. He made three straight appearances at the Halifax Comedy Festival (2003, 2004, 2005) and was featured on The Toronto Show (Toronto One) in 2003.
In 2004 Malone was invited to the prestigious Just For Laughs Festival to perform in the national Homegrown Competition. He took first place in the contest and was immediately signed with a US management/agency team. Later that year he was flown to Los Angeles where he met with casting agents in Hollywood and would return in February/March the next year to audition for network sitcoms. In the fall of 2004 Malone shot his first nationally televised special, a one-hour episode of the standup series Comedy Now on CTV and The Comedy Network. The special was chosen by the network to be the 100th episode special and received nationwide critical acclaim.

One of the last remaining Dead Sea scrolls has been deciphered by researchers at the University of Haifa, with the ancient fragment revealing that its author made a number of mistakes that had to be corrected by another scribe.
First discovered in the 1940s by Bedouin shepherds in the Qumran caves near the Dead Sea, the scrolls date back two millennia, from the third century BC to the first century AD. A mix of complete scrolls and fragments, the collection, which numbers around 900 manuscripts, includes texts that were later included in the Bible as well as secular writing, with the majority restored and translated over the decades.
Now researchers have announced that they have restored and deciphered one of the last two scrolls. Dr Eshbal Ratson and Professor Jonathan Ben-Dov worked for the last year reassembling more than 60 tiny fragments.
"The scroll is written in code, but its actual content is simple and well-known, and there was no reason to conceal it," they write in the Journal of Biblical Literature. "This practice is also found in many places outside the land of Israel, where leaders write in secret code even when discussing universally known matters, as a reflection of their status. The custom was intended to show that the author was familiar with the code, while others were not."

Jesus Christ, you alone do I serve and worship!
To you alone be all Glory, Honor and Praise!
Thank you for saving my soul, and my life.
Thank you for all the times you have protected and healed me,
even when I didn't even know about it.
I come to you, asking for help.
Even though I'm a saved Christian,
I still suffer with messed up thoughts in my head.
For years I allowed myself to be falsely trained to use my brain for sin.
This is what the world provides, sin for us to train on.
I watched sinful things, I thought sinful things, and these evil thoughts still try to come back into my mind.
Please help me be totally free from this.
Help me to realize that my brain is a body part, a tool for thinking, and it's not perfect.
Search my heart and soul, and please God know that evil and sinful thoughts are not coming from my them,
for I desperately long to be a good Christian in your eyes.
Please touch my brain with your Holy power,
so that I may have more control over the thoughts that come in it.
Help me to be guarded against the constant temptation attacks from shows, movies, pictures, internet, people, places, things all around...
Thank you almighty God, Amen!

The department and the commission shall prepare fund estimates pursuant to Sections 14524 and 14525 of the Government Code based on the following:
(a) Annual expenditures for the administration of the department shall be the same as the most recent Budget Act, adjusted for inflation.
(b) Annual expenditures for the maintenance and operation of the state highway system shall be the same as the most recent Budget Act, adjusted for inflation and inventory, or, when a maintenance plan has been enacted pursuant to Section 164.6, maintenance expenditures shall be based on planned expenditures in that plan.
(c) Annual expenditure for the rehabilitation of the state highway system shall be the same as the most recent Budget Act, or, when a long-range rehabilitation plan has been enacted pursuant to Section 164.6, shall be based on planned expenditures in that long-range plan.

In what is claimed to be an industry first, Netspace will supply broadband equipment specialist, NetComm with customised 4-port modems as part of a standard broadband package.
The customised deal between carrier and equipment supplier means a better value offer for customers, said Netspace managing director, Stuart Marburg.
Netspace will continue to give new broadband customers the NetComm Ethernet NB 1300+4 ADSL modem. However, the new deal means the modem will carry the Netspace brand, and the previous $25 surcharge will be scrapped.
"In contrast to other broadband providers, Netspace has deliberately moved away from the cheap-as-chips single-port USB modems in favour of a 4-port Ethernet modem, recognising the future needs of customers for home networking and convergence," said Marburg.
Marburg said the colour red was chosen because of the increased importance technology will play in the home, and because consumers want equipment that looks good. He stressed, however, that aesthetic considerations did not come at the expense of quality service or value.
"By signing a contract with a respected Australian equipment supplier, we can offer customers quality equipment with our brand name on it. We haven't simply gone and got a cheap no-name product and whacked our logo on it."
NetComm has been Netspace's exclusive supplier of modems, wireless networking and network cards since September 2003. The agreement is worth an estimated $2 million annually.

Background and Aims
Shift work is an inevitable result of technology usage and considered as an occupational hazard. It is known as an old problem among health care workers, which affects their wellbeing adversely. Operation room technicians (ORTs) are among those health care workers who are required to work in shift system and encountered shift work-related problems. This study was conducted among ORTs of Shiraz University Of Medical Sciences (SUMS) hospitals with the aim of determination of shift work-related health, family and social problems.
In this cross-sectional study, SOS (survey of shift workers) questionnaire was used to collect required data. Study population included all ORTs of SUMS hospitals in 2006-2007. Totally, 178 ORTs from 9 SUMS hospitals were studied.
The results showed that shift work-related problems occurred in high rate among ORTs. Personal (subjective), gastrointestinal and social problems were found to be the most prevalent problems among the ORTs (97.6%, 70.7% and 66.5%, respectively). The results revealed that ORTs who chose shift work voluntarily had higher rate of job satisfaction. It was also found that regular rotating shift schedule caused more job satisfaction than irregular rotating shift schedule did. There was an association between job satisfaction and the prevalence of reported problems such that the prevalence rate of problems was lower among those with higher rate of job satisfaction (P<0.05). This study demonstrated that there was no regular, definite shift system in operating rooms of the 9 SUMS hospital studied.
Working in shift system voluntarily and regular schedule caused higher rate of job satisfaction. Higher job satisfaction resulted in less shift work-related problems.

Can You Drive with a Nail in Your Tire?
At the Boardwalk Acura service center, we're happy to repair any vehicle in Egg Harbor, Atlantic City, or Vineland. One of the most popular questions we receive is: Can you drive with a nail in your tire? Because this question affects so many drivers, we decided to create an informative article detailing what to do in this situation.
So, as you continue reading, you'll learn what to do if there is a nail in your tire, and you'll also get additional information regarding tire care.
What to Do if You Find a Nail in Your Tire
There are a lot of misconceptions and myths out there about the proper protocol if you find a nail in your tire. However, the ideal course of action depends on a couple of variables.
First, you'll need to check your tire pressure to see if any air is leaking out of it. This is a top priority, because it's possible the nail is deep enough that it is plugging its own hole. In this case, you can continue to drive, for a short distance at least, and once you reach your destination you can get in contact with an automotive mechanic.
If you check your tire, and notice a leak, you'll want to avoid driving immediately. This is important, because driving with a leak can cause further damage.
Signs Your Tires Are Beginning to Wear Down
If you happen to run over a nail, and you get a quick patch job, it will likely cut into the long-term durability of your tire. Over the years, your tires are bound to wear down one way or another. There are signs that you can watch out for to determine when you need to have your tires replaced, however.
Below are some of the more notable symptoms of worn tires. If any of these apply to your vehicle, it may be time to make a tire switch, or at least a tire rotation:
- Reduced Traction – If you go around the same turn every day for work, but you've found recently your car glides or slips, it could mean your tires are beginning to wear down.
- Bulges or Cracks – You can visibly tell your tires need to be replaced if they have noticeable cracks, bulges, or scars on them.
- Consistent Leaking – If you fill your tires with air, only to find a week later they are low again, this likely indicates a leak. A leak can certainly be patched up, but the older your tires are, the more likely leaks are to occur. So, it may save some trouble to have your tires replaced if this becomes a reoccurring issue.
Come to Our Service Center for All Your Tire Needs
Tires are a major part of automotive care, and our trained mechanics are happy to help you remove nails, patch leaks, or install an entirely new set of wheels.
So, if you're around Egg Harbor, Atlantic City, or Vineland, schedule your service appointment at Boardwalk Acura for all your tire needs!

Inter Milan forward Gabigol arrived at Inter last summer as one of the hottest prospects in world football but he failed to live up to the expectations with Nerazzurri.
After a disappointing debut campaign in the Serie A, the Brazil 21-year-old international is set to leave Inter Milan for a chance to revive his career and realize his full potential.
Several clubs have been linked with a move for the Inter Milan misfit this summer, but the Portuguese media report that three biggest clubs in the country Benfica, Sporting CP and Porto are locked in a tussle for the Brazilian.
Benfica are reportedly ready to cover all of Gabigol's wages for a season-long loan spell, whereas Sporting CP and Porto are yet to match the offer in order to stand a chance to land the Brazilian before the transfer window shuts.
Former Santos striker scored a single goal for Inter Milan last season, failing to recreate his prolific form from Brazil.

You are currently browsing the category archive for the 'Car Show' category.
What a grand day to celebrate Canada Day! After our guests left we snuck out to do a quick tour of the cars at the Show and Shine held in Gnages. What a treat. Seems every year the number and quality of cars increases. Also the entertainment and all day live background music is very pleasant while we enjoyed the day.
Bird fun. I saw this man standing by the motorcycles petting and talking to the bird. Both seemed to be loving each others company. I couldn't resist the opportunity to see the bird up close. He was beautiful with a hint of peach mostly on his chest and his under tail feathers were a bright yellow. I said "Hi" and in a very clear voice he said "Hi" back. I held my arm to his claws so he could step on and he promptly decided to gently 'fluff' my feathers'. I had to give him back and move on but it was great to be his perch for a minute.

Khloé Kardashian Introduces Denim Skirt to Good American Line - and It's a Total Spring Must-Have
Have your credit cards out, because the star dropped new pieces
If you own a pair of Good American jeans, you know all about the flattering fit and trendy styles. You also know that the line, which started out as a passion project for Khloé Kardashian after she was fat shamed for years, is built around body positivity. And Khloé is continuing to introduce new spring arrivals. The latest? The denim pencil skirt, which will probably sell out by the time you finish reading this so it's best to act fast.
The skirt retails for $135 and is in available in sizes 00-24. If you have any doubts about how amazing the fit is, the photo of Khloé above will probably recruit you to the Good Squad.
GA also introduced two new denim styles, the Good Waist in black ($149), and Good Waist distressed in blue26 ($165).
Khloé's denim line started with her desire for size-inclusive brand that was not only flattering, but also trendy.
"When I was bigger, a lot of places didn't carry my size," Khloé told PEOPLE last year. "I was a 30 or 31 at the time. I didn't think that was astronomical sizing but people went, 'Uh! What size are you? Oh we don't have that here but we can order it.' I was like, 'Screw you, you just made me feel like s—.' And that's how a lot of women feel."
After feeling "fat-shamed," the star teamed up with industry vet Emma Grede on Good American, which offers "trendy, cool and edgy" styles ranging from sizes 0 to 24, urging women of all body types to embrace their curves.
Have you jumped on the Good American bandwagon? Which style is your favorite? Share below!
