Back in January, I fell in love with a photo of Anabel by Lazaro. I tried it on in-person and liked a lot, but not that true "this is the one" feeling. 9 stores, 50 dresses, only 2 that I knew on the hanger were close to being the one... Anabel (left), and now the dress I'm saying "yes" to... Sconset by Anne Barge (right).
Two totally different looks, but the Anne Barge dress felt so Met Gala bridal, grand, and almost Victorian that a history buff like me couldn't pass it up. I have been obsessed with bridal gowns since I was 8, so closing this chapter of finally picking one feels so surreal.
How I knew? Out of 50 dresses, this was the first one I asked my maid of honor to hand me my cell phone so I could take a selfie in it! Ha!
Just wanted to share... I want to shout it from the rooftops!! :)

Happy to share this first set of images from a shoot I did last week for my jewelry line! Earlier this year, I taught Sophia Doering-Powell in my styling class at FIDM. She expressed interest in becoming a stylist, so naturally I reached out to her to style a shoot, and also be the model for my line! I was the photographer this time, and it was a great learning experience for me, being guided by my friend Ken Raif. (I’m only used to using an iPhone in general, not a real camera 🤣) More photos to come!

100 Internet cool points to the first person that knows why this video cassette is important. ;)
Crazy to think that I carried a mini dv camcorder in there (in case you didn't know - cell phones were mostly just for phone calls back then) and recorded the draft.

US government prosecutors offered a preview of their case against La Schiazza in a filing on Friday in US District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. A contract lobbyist hired by AT&T "is expected to testify that AT&T successfully passed two major pieces of legislation after the company started making payments to Individual FR-1."
The Madigan ally referred to in the court document as "Individual FR-1" is former state Rep. Edward Acevedo, a Chicago Tribune article notes. Acevedo, who was Madigan's assistant majority leader in the Illinois House before retiring in 2017, was sentenced to six months in prison for tax evasion in 2022. Madigan left his House speaker post in 2021.
In one internal email sent to an AT&T employee, La Schiazza allegedly described the company's quid pro quo with Madigan as "the friends and family plan."
The government said the bribery scheme resulted in passage of legislation eliminating AT&T's Carrier of Last Resort (COLR) obligation to provide landline phone service, and separate legislation related to small cell deployments. Madigan, a Democrat, was House speaker when both bills were passed. The lobbyist who is expected to testify allegedly acted as an intermediary by transmitting payments to Madigan's ally.
“The friends and family plan”
From February 2017 to January 2018, La Schiazza "conspired with Madigan, Madigan's close confidant, Michael McClain, and [three AT&T employees identified as] ATT-1, ATT-2, and ATT-3 to corruptly confer benefits on a Madigan associate to influence and reward Madigan for passing the COLR legislation," the government filing said.
Madigan and McClain were indicted on federal racketeering and bribery charges and are scheduled to go on trial in October. La Schiazza was indicted on one count of conspiracy, one count of corruptly giving something of value to reward a public official, and three counts of using a facility in interstate commerce to promote unlawful activity.
"Madigan's outsized power in the General Assembly meant his approval was necessary for the passage or defeat of legislation of concern to AT&T," the government filing in the La Schiazza case said. Testimony at trial "will demonstrate that Madigan and McClain were closely associated and that McClain acted on Madigan's behalf in soliciting and facilitating the provision of benefits from AT&T," the filing said.
The $22,500 was paid in nine monthly installments of $2,500 in 2017, the filing said. The payments were approved by AT&T even though "internal justifications to AT&T's accounting department for the payments to Individual FR-1 were incomplete, in that they did not mention that Individual FR-1 was the intended recipient of the payments," the filing said. A "false contract amendment" was allegedly used to conceal the payments.
"Specifically, at McClain's request, defendant and his coconspirators arranged for AT&T to pay Individual FR-1, a former state representative and political ally of Madigan, approximately $22,500 for supposed consulting services. In reality, the reasons given for paying Individual FR-1 were pretextual, and Individual FR-1 did no work in return for the payments," the government said.

Our family was vacationing on Lopez Island last month and saw a cat outside out rental house that looked to be very sick and possibly on the verge of dying. It was very skinny and dirty and had what appeared to be a smashed/injured tail.
Lopez Island is a small island near Seattle that has very limited internet and cell phone access. We managed to contact the small animal rescue organization, Lopez Island Animal Protection Society: https://lopezanimals.org and Deborah, an amazing woman with that organization managed to trap the cat (who we’ve named Patches) and has been caring for her ever since.
Turns out Patches was just severely dehydrated and starving. Deborah has nursed her back to health, taken her to the vet (a 2*•+ hour journey thank involved taking a ferry to the mainland since there are no vets on Lopez Island.
SOOO grateful to the Lopez Island Animal Protection Society!

I have a couple automations that are supposed to trigger when my cell phone and tablet batteries drop below or rise above specific thresholds.
But it appears that HA doesn’t seem to be recognizing the battery level changes.
When I look at the battery level in HA, it does seem to be accurate – but the state trigger isn’t being activated.
During my troubleshooting efforts, I used the developer tools section to change the battery level manually and when I changed it to above to above or below the respective thresholds, the appropriate automation DID fire. This makes no sense to me.
Any ideas?
