"Colombian holiday built around a wedding"
Hugh M. Dublin
When we were invited to a Valentine's Day wedding in Cartagena, we decided to use Uncover Colombia to help plan, book and guide a two-week holiday around that wedding. Throughout the planning they showed great flexibility and willingness to assist in all aspects, especially dovetailing their tour offerings with our commitments for the wedding.
As soon as we arrived in Bogota, we knew we had made a good decision. Our UC guide, Daniel, met us at the airport for our first hotel transfer; while outlining the finer detail of how the itinerary would work for the next few days, he made it clear that he was entirely at our disposal throughout the trip, day or night, should we need any additional help.
Trips in and around Bogota had been carefully designed to see as much as possible in a couple of days, while easing us into the altitude and time difference.
We spent a few delightful days in the coffee region, staying on a lovely coffee farm. Once again, the local UC guide, Carlos, gave us his full attention and left us with a great appreciation of the beauty of that region. He just happened to be a real expert on flora and fauna which proved a real bonus in such lovely countryside.
UC arranged our transfer to Tayrona National Park for our last few days in Colombia. The park is a real gem and the Ecohabs are a perfect way of immersing yourself in the unspoilt environment. The park staff are most obliging and efficient (with the notable exception of the administrative staff who seemed stand-offish, disinterested and even downright careless). The beaches are stunningly beautiful and the dreaded mosquitos were much less of a problem than anticipated. Instead, we were treated to wave after graceful wave of pelican squadrons swooping over the hills and along the breakers - pure magic!
We have no hesitation in strongly recommending Uncover Colombia for their competence, efficiency and attentiveness. They are very pleasant people to deal with.
"Amazing Food Tour and Cooking Class"
D. Meyer Denver, Colorado
My girlfriend and I went on their culinary tour and cooking class a few days ago and it was absolutely the highlight of our time in Bogota. Daniel was an incredible guide; he knew a ton about all the food we were tasting and was happy to answer all our questions about Bogota and Colombia in general. The chef, Guillermo, was wonderful! He was so gracious and welcoming, and the food we made was incredible. We had high expectations for this experience, and they were surpassed. I'd highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Bogota. I'd do it again!
"Perfect Day Trip to Coffee Plantation"
J. Lam Washington
My wife and I went on a day trip to a coffee plantation about two hours outside of Bogota with Uncover Colombia. The plantation itself was awesome; our guide walked us through the whole process. We even got to pick some coffee cherries from the tree. After seeing all of the steps in making coffee, we had a private taste test with the "coffee sommelier" on staff. We tasted four different coffees (with rejected beans, with premium beans, coffee that was a few months past due, and then coffee about six months past due) as the expert explained the differences. We then had lunch near the plantation and headed back to the city.
Probably the best thing about the tour was our guide, Daniel. We talked about Colombian culture for both two-hour legs of the journey, and my wife and I learned a ton. I would highly recommend Daniel and Uncover Colombia if you're looking for tours around the country.
"Best holiday ever!"
Suraj G. London
We spent just over two weeks travelling across Colombia all organized by Uncover Colombia. Their service from start to finish was impeccable and tailored to suit our needs perfectly. Nidia was our main coordinator in London and in the lead up to our trip was extremely responsive to all of our needs and guided us to planning what can only be described as a near faultless tour of Colombia. Once in Colombia Daniel was our main point of contact and he could not have been more helpful and knowledgeable. Colombia is safe, there was no point in our trip where we felt even slightly scared!
We spent a few nights in Bogota (including one night in Villa De Leva), followed by a few nights in the amazon, then up to Medellin and finally in Cartagena (with one night in Isla Rosario). Each place was so unique, just as we felt the holiday had peaked we were shown a totally different side to Colombia in the next place which was equally as good for different reasons. Personally however I would not recommend going to Cartagena, after having been to the other parts of Colombia where everyone we met was extremely hospitable and welcoming, Cartagena felt like a let down. The town and history are beautiful but having been used to tourists for a lot longer then rest of the country the Colombian hospitality has gone; it is considerably more expensive then anywhere else and the merchants will hound you to the point of being annoying. Throughout our travels the most common phrase was "Con gusto" and it was always sincere, in Cartagena it was seldom said.
Bogota - What an amazing city, the gastro culture is really taking off, the night life is phenomenal and there is plenty to do. We visited a near by Coffee plantation, did a city tour had one night in Villa De Leva and finally a day at the salt Cathedral all highly recommended.
The Amazon (Leticia) - Wow! This was my wife's favourite bit of the holiday. Our base was the town of Leticia form which is very easy to go into Brazil too. We did the amazon river tour and spent one night in an Eco lodge in the middle of the jungle it was basic but perfect and we saw fascinating animals and fauna.
Medellin - My favourite bit of the holiday! Probably the coolest city I have been to in the world, it feels like a celebration all of the time, nightlife is great and people are very friendly. There is not much to do except just take in the City, I could easily have stayed longer. We did day trip to Guatape too which was great.
Cartagena - Maybe I am being unfair, I am sure if we had started here it wouldn't have felt as bad as it did but it pales in comparison to the rest of Colombia, retrospectively I would have gone to Santa Marta, or Cali instead.
Go to Colombia and use Uncover Colombia to help you plan the trip!
"Showcasing Colombia at its finest!"
Arpita C. New York
This is a much deserved review that has been long pending. We visited the Coffee region and Uncover Colombia (the Nidia & Daniel team) helped plan it all. Nidia based out of London was very responsive, always helpful with suggestions and ways to optimize our time and money during our stay in her country. After reaching out to many tours (some of whom never responded), we found Uncover Colombia's quotes competitive & fairly priced..
What was particularly special about Uncover Colombia is that they have a personal touch which makes them stand out. Even though our coffee region trip wasn't to start until a day after our arrival in Colombia, Nidia checked in via email to ensure we had reached safely. Daniel confirmed that he would come pick us up for the airport transfer and they were kind enough to store our luggage in their Bogota office while we were touring the country. Daniel was thoughtfully checking in with us while we were in Armenia and Salento and was again there to receive us at the airport in Bogota and ferry us to the international terminal. He took time out to get our feedback on the tour and was eager to offer one of our requested customizations in future coffee region tours. Their professional yet caring attitude tells me that they go an extra mile to make sure their guests are getting more out of each trip when they could be easily charging more for every extra service rendered.
I would very eagerly recommend them to anyone visiting Colombia for a unique perspective on the country and am hoping to send my parents on an Uncover Colombia adventure soon! Thank you Nidia & Daniel for everything - you guys are doing fantastic work & we hope to visit you again!
"Fantastic Tours and Great Service"
Andy B. Bournemouth, UK
I have just come back from a stay in Colombia with a big group of family and friends. We used Uncover Colombia for several tours around Bogota.
All the tours were amazingly well organised. Our guide, Jorge, was fantastic. very knowledgeable and had a good laugh with all of us. I would really recommend going on one or all of the tours.
I also can't speak highly enough of how accommodating everyone was. From Jorge and dealing with all of us, Nidia in London dealing with all our questions and the booking and Daniel in Colombia taking the time out to come and see us at some point in all the tours. They really took the stress out of our sightseeing! (My wife and I were also getting married in the middle of all the tours so had lots of other things to organise).
If you're thinking of doing any of these tours then these are the guys to use!
"Great friendly guides at the right price"
Marianne T. San Lorenzo, California
"My daughter and I recently traveled to Bogota, Colombia and scheduled 2 tours with Uncover Colombia. Both were a great success. Daniel, driver and part owner speaks very good english and was very accomadating and pleasant. Juan Carlos, the guide, also spoke very good english, plus several other languages and very knowledgeable. On our trip to Guatavita Juan Carlos brought along a walking stick for me (I'm 78, but very active) and we made it to the top. He's full of knowledge and stories of the sites. His understanding of the artist's concept of the stations of the cross in the Salt Cathedral was very helpful. But our favorite tour was the Bogota cooking tour. It starts with a visit to one of Bogota's largest marketplaces where everywhere we looked there were flowers (Colombia is the worlds largest flower exporter), fruits and vegetables of all descriptions, animals, dairy products etc.. We proceded thro the Candalaria where we tasted ChiCha, a corn liquor, and to a restaurant school (on the way pointing out sites we should see another day and restaurants to try). Had a quick lesson on frying plantains, squashed and refried with guava paste and cheese) and a very good lunch in the schools restaurant where many busnessmen and women were eating. Juan Carlos went out of his way to take me by the home of an old college friend I was trying to locate (locating someone in Colombia is NOT easy) and I was able to make contact and set up a get together. These extras make an outstanding tour company!"
"Great service"
Shira Eller. Washington, DC
"We had a great tour of the Coffee Region with a very knowledgeable guide and able driver. The tour organizers Nidia and Daniel were great-- they offered us tips on other aspects of our trip that weren't included in our tour and offered their help with anything we needed while in Colombia on other legs of our journey. Highly recommended"
"Wonderful Tour of the Market and Cooking Class"
Jenna Friedman. Chicago
"I highly recommend Uncover Colombia for a great day in Bogota! I did the cooking tour which included a trip to the local "farmers" market in which we tried many indigenous fruits and other local dishes and juices before buying all the food to cook a traditional meal. We then proceed to a local cooking school to make a delightful lunch. They were great about accommodating my need for gluten free. Daniel was a wonderful tour guide for the day. Don't miss out out on this really great experience! For those Anthony Bourdain fans, this is the same market he visited on Parts Unknown"
"Can't recommend this trip enough!"
Jody Pritt. Columbia, South Carolina
"I just completed the Heart of Bogota tour today. It started off with both Daniel (Operations Manager) and Tour Guide, Juan Carlos picking me up my hotel right on time (in fact I was a little late). We spent all day exploring Bogota at our own pace. Juan Carlos was so informative and so laid back and friendly. He let me choose some other places I might want to see or food I might want to try. I don't normally like to take tour guides but I would recommend Uncover Colombia to anyone. They were great from the first email request for information. Do it!"
"Great day with Marina"
Elston Hill. Los Angeles
"Our guide Marina arrived five minutes early along with Daniel Rodriguez to take us on our 8 a.m. tour to the Salt Mines and Cathedral. Marina was full of information about everything we were to see that day. The early start was good as we were just ahead of the crowds at the Salt Mines. The square at Zipaquira was so picturesque and the old cathedral was something to see. The Salt Mines were quite unusual. They were started centuries before the spaniards arrived and were mined until recently when they became this religious tribute. The walk-through Stations of the Cross in the mine are a representation of Jesus' last steps and culminate in a three-part cavernous subterranean cathedral.
Next we went to Lake Guatavita, the origin of El Dorado. It was an interesting walk with a lot of history which Marina told us very well. Then lunch at a little town restaurant. It was so authentic. No tourists in the restaurant which was almost full with Columbian families. My wife and I ordered a Columbian meal that consisted of five meats with fried egg on top! I liked the fact that our guide ate with us.
Nine hours later, we arrived back at the hotel with some other interesting stops in small towns along the way. It was a very good tour with a very good guide"
"Coffee Plantation Tour at Hacienda Coloma"
Nicholas Maluccio. Healy, AK
"I chose this all day tour based on internet information, in preference to those promoted by my hotel. Wow, I (and my two companions) am so glad! Daniel was our tour guide and we could not have had a more knowledgeable and patient guide. This was our first trip to Colombia and we peppered him with all kinds of questions irrelevant to the coffee plantation tour. He grew up in the area so it was like having a local friend lead the tour. The coffee plantation was gorgeous with part of the tour taking us past beautiful orchids and other flowers. We were shown coffee growing from handling the seed berries all the way to tasting freshly ground and brewed coffee. Another advantage of this tour was that the coffee plantation was about an hour southwest of Bogota in a safe part of the country, and most coffee plantations are much more distant. So we were able to do this while in Bogota, and also see some of the countryside. The lunch included with the tour at a local restaurant was great, with several choices available. One of my companions forgot a personal item at the restaurant and Daniel was flexible and patient about returning and retrieving it"
"Tour of Zipaquira and Guatavita"
Anne G. New York
"My husband and I were in Bogota recently and wanted to experience the Salt Cathedral in Zipaquira. We speak very little Spanish and were concerned about navigating the Colombian bus system. Uncover Colombia's tour of Zipaquira and Guatavita was perfect for what we wanted. Our early start got us to Guatavita early so we had the trail to ourselves. Our guide was incredibly knowledgable and spoke English incredibly well. Our lunch was delicious and gave us a chance to really spend time with Colombians. Our tour through the Salt Cathedral was great. Our guide had previous worked at the cathedral so he was able to navigate us through efficiently and explained to us details about the cathedral, as well as Colombian mining history. We learned a lot of information that we would not have had with a guidebook.
Definitely recommend!"
"Wonderful tours! Highly Recommend"
Angela Schiller. Wisconsin
"I had a wonderful time working with Uncover Colombia from the very start. Nidia was very responsive. My reservation was confirmed in less than 24 hrs.
I booked two tours: a city tour of Bogota and a day trip to the salt cathedral and Guatavita. Jorge was my tour guide for both. He was a wonderful guide. Lunch was included and he made great recommendations. The food was delicious! Jorge was very knowledgeable about the salt cathedral because he worked there as a guide prior to his current job. Guatavita was wonderful to visit since it was in the country. The scenery was beautiful! It was nice to get a different view of Colombia in addition to the city scene of Bogota. I enjoyed the walk/hike to see the lake.
I was a solo traveler and booked with this company based on the Trip Advisor comments from other solo travelers. I'm very glad that I did!"
"Superior, Just Amazing!!"
Mark Samuels. New York
"I visited Colombia in May'13. It was an eye opening experience, indeed. We know that Colombia is not getting a good share of publicity due its past issues. I was really worried about my safety after reading all these warnings online (State Department notice did not help either). Turned out completely opposite. The hospitality of people, the food, the sites, even the weather - everything was awesome. Now, the success of this trip would not be possible without Uncover Colombia. I've hired the private tour in Bogota for a full day (Juan Carlos and Daniel were my guides). Both were really excellent. Pick up from the hotel was on time early morning. The transportation was top notch, secure. Most importantly, the attitude of both Daniel and Juan Carlos was 5 starts. The made my uneasy soul feel home. Their knowledge of their country is amazing. It was like handing out with your local friends. Very personalized and tailored. They designed an itinerary for me over email in advance. But we went beyond the agreed itinerary as they took me to places that I would never ever know about. We went to local restaurants, food was delicious (included in the cost of the tour!). They drove me to Park 93, we had some drinks in a very nice bar, then they drove me to airport. I have to say, I had a 5 star service. I've done ton of research on companies in Bogota. And I think I found one for my next visit to Bogota. Thank you guys - good job!"
"Unforgettable Guatavita/Zipaguira tour"
Elizaveta M. Moscow
"The tour was amazing, more than I expected it to be, my special thanks to Daniel, our coordinator and the tour guide. Apart from visiting the above mentioned sights, I was also able to see the country behind its tourist spots, see the villages, countryside, people, have a tasty colombian lunch and enjoyed every minute of my trip in a company of good people. My recommendation for Colombia visitors is to choose this company. Daniel and Nydia - keep up the good work!!!"
"Amazing tour company!"
Jessica Boyd. Arkansas
"I discovered this tour company when they began to follow my blog about my experiences in Bogotá, Colombia. I wanted to tour the Coffee Triangle, but did not have time since I am working full time. The day trip to Fusagasuga's coffee plantation (Hacienda Coloma) was a great way to see a Colombian coffee plantation without spending 3 days in the Coffee Triangle. They also do not charge extra for solo travelers, which is great since most tour companies require a minimum number of people before you can go on a tour.
It was really interesting to learn about the old and new coffee-making processes too! Daniel was an excellent guide and we had a great day. I 100% recommend Uncover Colombia if you are wanting to use a tour company to see this country. They are prompt, courteous, and flexible. They have great tours at an excellent value"
"Salt Cathederal and Lake Guatavita Tours"
Robert Callender. Northern Virginia
"My wife and I want to recommend this tour group to anyone visiting Colombia. We scheduled a trip to the Salt Cathederal and a trip to a Colombian farm. They called the day before we were scheduled to go and apologized about not being able to do the farm tour due to an illness in the farmer's family. They offered to refund our money and also suggested several alternatives. We picked one to Lake Guatavita that extended the trip considerably longer than the original but they didn't hesitate to substitute that with no extra charge. They met us on time, both the driver and guide spoke english, and were very knowledgeable about the countryside and our tour sites. They went out of their way to show us their country, meet the local people, and took us to a great resturant for lunch in a small town where the guide grew up. We arrived back at our hotel tired but very happy after a long day"

Employment-Sixth Circuit Rules That Performing Physical Restraint On Detained Juveniles Is An Essential Job Function Under the ADA
In Wardia v. Department of Juvenile Justice, No. 12-5337 (6th Cir. 2013) (Unpublished Opinion), the plaintiff, John Wardia ("Wardia"), had brought suit against the defendant, the Department of Juvenile Justice (the "Department"), for wrongful termination under the Americans with Disabilities Act (the "ADA"). The district court granted summary judgment to the Department, and Wardia appealed.
In this case, Wardia had been terminated from his position as a Youth Worker at the Campbell County Regional Juvenile Detention Center, after an injury prevented him from performing physical restraint on detained juveniles. Wardia had argued in the district court that physical restraint of juveniles, in practice, was not an essential function of the job, and that the Department had unreasonably refused to grant him the permanent accommodation of a job in the facility control room.
In analyzing the case, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals (the "Court") implicitly applied the rule that a former employee cannot prevail in a claim for wrongful termination under the ADA, if the employee's disability prevented him or her from performing an essential function of the job even with a reasonable accommodation. The Court said that official Department policy treats the ability to perform physical restraints of juveniles as an essential function of Youth Workers. The written job description specifically lists performing restraints as one of the essential functions of the job, and Youth Workers are required to undergo safe-physical-management-skills training for three months upon entry and on an ongoing monthly basis. Thus, without reasonable accommodation, Wardia cannot do one essential functions of his job.
Further, the Court said that Wardia did not identify any reasonable accomodation that would help him. Having other employees assist him whenever restraint is required is not a reasonable accommodation, since the ADA does not require employers to accommodate individuals by shifting an essential job function onto others. Also, assignment to the facility control room is not the type of accommodation that an employer is required to provide under the ADA-it is a light-duty, temporary or rotating position and employers cannot be required to convert either rotating or temporary positions into permanent positions under the ADA. Thus, the Court affirmed the district court's summary judgment in favor of the Department.

I do not essay use oil of clove because, in the end, it can make matters worse. Drop Dosage herbs: If the salicylates write and Cow Parsnip seed fail, there are potentially toxic drop dosage herbs that are helpful, starting with Bleeding hearts, dicentra formosa. These herbs can be deadly if not used properly. I do not recommend them for self treatment unless you are an experienced herbalist. Most strong pain medication is regulated by law for good reasons; the strong pain killing herbs are just as dangerous. On the stronger end of these types of herbs is Opium Tincture. Although illegal in the usa, this would definitely take away the pain. The University of wyoming and Sheridan College offer a cooperative program of dental hygiene education which, when completed, results in two degrees. An Associate of Applied Science degree in dental hygiene is awarded by Sheridan College following completion of the prerequisites and dental hygiene prescribed study.
To take analgesic herbs alone for a toothache is to invite disaster. If they work, you wont feel the fire, but the fire will continue to burn unnoticed in your jaw. This could lead to further bone degradation, and life-threatening abscesses. An abscessed tooth is no joke; many folks died from this before the advent of modern dentistry. Available herbs include: Salicylate herbs barks of White willow, oak, poplar, etc. Tinctures of these herbs are also astringent, thus helping to relieve the inflammation. Sometimes this is all you need to quell the fire of your toothache if it is just starting and the inflammation is minimal. Cow Parsnip seed Tincture 5 drops or so of this tincture can be very helpful for relieving the pain of some toothaches, if the problem is near surface. Clove oil pure clove oil can help with toothache pain, but unlike the other herbs discussed, it can cause further irritation of the gums with consistent use.
Hygiene, essay, example for Free
Within a day, my tooth had abscessed, and the area below the tooth on my neck began to swell. Certainly, i needed dental attention, however, juan the boatman wasnt due back for days yet. Luckily, i had my trusty Oregon Grape root tincture on hand to help with this. Immediately, the berberis began to take effect, and within the first 24 hours the swelling had all but subsided, although the pain was still intense. Unfortunately, at this point I had ran out of mom my tincture. I had given most of it to another traveler with an infection before i had reached the island!
Fear not, brave readers, for I did not die that day, and still live to tell this tale. One of the reasons that I was on the island was to research the strength of the islands local Berberis. I had harvested some essay native berberis roots earlier that week and had immersed them in some sort of Chilean alcohol. Although I didnt consider this a finished tincture, it was all I had. Pouring some of the already golden yellow medicine off the top of the soaking herb, i began to drink this elixir of virtue. Ultimately i was healed, and continued my botanizing under the southern Cross. Relieving the pain pain relief is the band-aid treatment.
As an added benefit, the bitter principles in the sage jump-starts my digestive system, helping me to want to eat breakfast. Astringents will not remove the pain directly, but they will help dampen the fire within. Willow tincture may be the astringent of choice for some toothaches, as it will act as an astringent and a topical analgesic to relieve pain. Try a teaspoon as a wash, and then swallow the tincture for an added system-wide analgesic effect. Antibacterials: An herb with a strong antibacterial effect both topically and systemically is of great value for coping with the infections involved with a toothache.
My herbs of choice are the herbs that contain berberine, such as Goldenseal, hydrastis canadensis, goldthread, coptis spp., and Oregon Grape root, berberis spp. For ecological reasons, i always use Oregon Grape. Three droppers to a teaspoon of tincture taken three to four times a day, held in the mouth for as long as possible around the affected area and then swallowed for a system wide effect, is the best treatment for toothaches that i know. I generally would not mix berberine containing herbs with pharmaceutical antibiotics. This reminds me of the time i was camping alone with my wife on a remote island off the coast of Patagonia. My tooth started to ache, and the willow I tried didnt help.
Support Individuals to maintain Personal
I use this type of mouthwash every once in a while, even when my teeth and gums are healthy. Do not swallow an astringent mouthwash, as this can cause an upset stomach. The standard herbal mouthwash astringent is Myrrh measles Gum. I personally do not use this herb, because of my bioregional beliefs. There are so many astringents available that I recommend help using the herb you feel best about. A standard British mouthwash herb is Garden Sage. My personal favorite is White sage, salvia apiana.
for an appointment. Some patients do not want to take pharmaceuticals for a variety of reasons, and can use these herbs instead. The following herbs can be very helpful in addition to or instead of antibiotics. A word of caution: An abscessed tooth, one where the swelling and inflammation is progressing from your tooth to other parts of your face, is life- threatening. It is not a time for self treatment. Astringents: An astringent wash can be very helpful as a first defense in the early stages of a toothache. Astringents are antiseptic and help shrink swollen tissue. Astringent washes can be used concurrently with antibiotics and can be of some help in the maintenance of healthy gums.
Relieving the pain, removing the Infection and Inflammation causing the pain. This is the best strategy for a toothache. If you simply put out the fire within your tooth, then the pain will go away. However, this will not cure your tooth problem. If you do not seek dental care, the infection will eventually return. This sets you up for progressively advancing dental problems. Cavities need to be filled; rotten, dead teeth need to be removed. If you do seek dental help and have an infection or abscess, the dentist will not work on you until the infection is gone.

Tooth Ache Essay, research Paper, i have been plagued by many a toothache in my time. Although there is no replacement for dental work and proper dental hygiene, once you have a toothache, there are several herbal methods for treating it without pharmaceuticals. Herbs for a toothache are best taken in tincture form, because the alcohol content is disinfecting and astringent, which helps with app the infection and to reduce inflammation. I suggest taking a teaspoon of the tincture (undiluted) and holding it in your mouth, gently swishing it through the problematic area for as long as possible. After that, you can swallow the tincture, or spit it out, depending on the tincture. There are two strategies for dealing with the toothaches:. Removing the Infection Which causes the pain.

Role of Private Universities in Legal Education
Presentation by Maj. Gen. Nilendra Kumar Director Amity Law School, AUUP, Noida
SCOPE Managerial concepts as applied to a Legal Education Provider in Private Sector.
The managerial techniques in the private law schools/colleges provide adequate data for an exhaustive study.
Applied Management denotes the applied application of one or more accepted management techniques.
Managerial expertise could be duly applied for a critical appraisal of legal education providers.
Importance of education is not to be over emphasized.
The gift of education is the greatest gift a human being can confer upon his fellowmen. Nani Palkhivala
PURPOSE OF EDUCATION Education has been called the technique of transmitting civilisation. In order that it may transmit civilisation, it has to perform two
major functions, it must enlighten the understanding; and it must enrich the character. Nani Palkhivala
IT MUST ENRICH THE CHARACTER so as to inculcate 1. Value system 2. Righteousness 3. Communication skills 4. Environmental sensitivity
Legal education is a special branch of learning.
LEGAL EDUCATION Legal education is the education of individuals who intend to become legal professionals or those who simply intend to use their law degree to some end, either related to law (such as politics or academic) or business, public service etc.
Need for empowerment of human beings individually and collectively.
FACTORS THAT HAVE ACCELERATED NEED FOR REFORMS IN LEGAL EDUCATION 1. Social & economic transformation. 2. Economic liberalisation. 3. Emergence of India as a dominant economic power.
4. Increasing foreign direct investment. 5. WTO. (To allow equal treatment to law persons from other jurisdictions). 6. Possibility of entry of foreign law firms.
Setting up of National Law Schools (started in 1986) was a sequel to disillusionment with traditional mode of law teaching.
Setting up of National Law Schools was a prelude to : 1. An expression about lack of satisfaction with archaic legal education. 2. Changes and innovation in legal education. 3. Growing interest of higher judiciary in legal education.
4. Entry of foreign qualified faculty. 5. Foundation laid by outstanding and visionary faculty.

The poster for 'The Heartbreak Kid' shows you just how
gosh darned *hilarious* this movie is going to be, with
nothing more than a simple still image and a few
carefully selected words.
*Ben Stiller. He's *always* funny. Hey, remember how
his name was "Focker" in those movies with Robert De Niro?
Comic gold!
*Wait a second... does he have cotton in his ears?
Say, that's unusual. What sort of wacky situation
has he gotten himself into now? That lady sitting next
to him seems to be making some sort of trumpet-like
gesture with her hands. How immature! That must be
really annoying for poor Ben. She must be crazy and
obnoxious. Can't a guy get a break? And since they're
stuck in a car together, it's not like Ben can just leave.
How is he going to deal with this irritating situation?
*Finally, there's the tag line. "Love blows." That works
on so many levels. Like, at least two. Do you get it?
Do you? Think about it for a minute, and you'll probably
realize just how clever that tag line is.
I won't ruin it for you.

(CNSNews.com) – National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster on Sunday pushed back against a suggestion by his predecessor that the United States could "tolerate nuclear weapons in North Korea," challenging the notion that Cold War-style deterrence could work with a regime like the one in Pyongyang.
"She's not right," McMaster told ABC's "This Week" in reference to Susan Rice, who served as national security adviser and ambassador to the United Nations under President Obama.
"And I think the reason she's not right is that classical deterrence theory – how does that apply to a regime like the regime in North Korea?" he said.
"A regime that engages in unspeakable brutality against its own people? A regime that poses a continuous threat to its neighbors in the region and now may pose a threat, direct threat, to the United States with weapons of mass destruction?" McMaster continued.
"A regime that imprisons and murders anyone who seems to oppose that regime, including members of his own family, using sarin nerve gas in a public airport?"
(Kim Jong-un's exiled half-brother, Kim Jong-nam, died on February 13 this year after being exposed at Kuala Lumpur international airport to a deadly nerve agent, an assassination widely blamed on the regime.)
Rice argued in a New York Times op-ed Thursday that while the U.S. should not "legitimize" the regime as a nuclear power, it could live with a nuclear-armed North Korea.
"History shows that we can, if we must, tolerate nuclear weapons in North Korea – the same way we tolerated the far greater threat of thousands of Soviet nuclear weapons during the Cold War," she wrote.
Rice said that the U.S. should make clear that any use by Pyongyang of a nuclear weapon against the U.S. or an ally, or transfer of a weapon to a third party, would result in "annihilation." But she was also highly critical of President Trump's reaction to North Korea's threats, such as his "fire and fury" warning.
McMaster disagreed with host George Stephanopoulos' suggestion that the U.S. was "closer to war" on the Korean peninsula than it had been a week ago.
"But we are closer to war than we were a decade ago," he said, attributing the situation – and citing former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger in a Wall Street Journal column as saying as much – to many years of "procrastination."
McMaster defended the Trump administration's approach, noting the achievement of a unanimous vote in the U.N. Security Council earlier this month for a new North Korean sanctions resolution.
"What's clear now is our interests are aligned with all responsible nations,' he said. "And it's time for all nations, including China, Russia, as well as our close allies, Japan and South Korea, to work together toward a common goal of denuclearizing the Korean peninsula."
McMaster also defended Trump's language directed at Pyongyang, saying the president had "made clear that the United States will not tolerate our citizens or our allies being threatened by this rogue regime."
"I think there's a much greater danger if there were to be any kind of degree of ambiguity in connection with the kind of response that Kim Jong-un could expect, if he were to threaten the United States or our allies," he added.
After a week of escalating tensions, Russia's foreign ministry warned Sunday night that the U.S. and North Korea were "very close to" the possibility armed conflict.
"If the force scenario is really used and if the situation really develops in a way the Washington establishment is threatening with, it will be a real catastrophe," spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on state television.
CIA Director Mike Pompeo, like McMaster, played down fears of imminent war.
"I've heard folks talking about being on the cusp of a nuclear war," he said on Fox News Sunday. "I've seen no intelligence that would indicate that we're in that place today."
Russia and China are continuing to push a "double freeze" diplomatic initiative that would entail a North Korean "moratorium" on missile launches and a U.S. agreement to end major military exercises with South Korea, to lay the ground for a resumption of talks on the denuclearization of the peninsula.
"Kim Jong-un should freeze nuclear tests and stop launching any types of ballistic missiles, while U.S. and South Korea should freeze large-scale drills which are used as a pretext for the North's tests," Russian media quoted Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov as saying at a youth forum on Friday.

ABC has made a direct-to-series order for a new event game show, "500 Questions" (working title), from Emmy-winning blockbuster executive producer Mark Burnett and his One Three Media ("Shark Tank," "Survivor," "The Voice") and Warner Horizon Television ("The Voice," "The Bachelor," "The Bachelorette"). The innovative "genius game show" is the brainchild of Burnett and Warner Bros. Unscripted and Alternative Television President Mike Darnell. It is scheduled to air in 2015, with the program testing the smarts - and nerve - of contestants in a pressure-packed, intense environment.
The series order for "500 Questions" continues ABC's long and successful relationship with Burnett, who executive produces the network's Emmy-winning hit reality program "Shark Tank," which returns for a sixth season this fall. "500 Questions" also reunites Burnett with Warner Bros.' Darnell on a new project for the first time since the Burnett-produced game show "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?," which Darnell put on the air during his tenure at FOX.
"I love this show," Burnett said. "It ('500 Questions') is the first network game show to combine what audiences love about serialized unscripted hits with a huge game show event. It has ongoing characters and huge stakes."
Darnell said, "I couldn't be more excited to be back in business with my close friend and colleague Mark Burnett. We have done many shows together over the years, but one of our best experiences (both professionally and personally) was 'Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?,' and ever since, we have been trying to come up with another game show that would break new ground. I think we have finally cracked it with '500 Questions,' and with Mark and his team on board, I have no doubt this is going to be the next international game show hit."
Burnett is one the most successful producers in the history of television, with more than 2,900 hours of programming regularly airing in more than 70 countries around the world. Burnett and wife, Roma Downey, also produced the hit 10-hour miniseries "The Bible," which set ratings records for History Channel in the U.S. and became a worldwide phenomenon, also ranking as the best-selling miniseries of all time on DVD. On the heels of its success, NBC commissioned the follow-up miniseries "A.D.: Beyond the Bible," which will debut in 2015.

The first day of school began at 4 a.m. today for Gibson McIntyre and his son Chevaun, a 9-year-old who attends Price Elementary in Chicago.
McIntyre ironed Chevaun's uniform -- blue trousers and white polo shirt -- and cooked his breakfast. He helped him make a brown bag lunch and scribbled a list of emergency phone numbers on a ripped-out notebook paper to stuff in his backpack.

It's hard to know where to start with blogging about our amazing little getaway to Bali.
If you follow me on Instagram you're probably already sick of my holiday photos, but there is so much beauty in Bali, it's hard not to capture it.
Tom, Poppy and I left for Denpasar on a cold Tassie Tuesday, and got to our destination 14 hours later (seven in the air) in thick, 30 degree heat. It was the dark of night and even though we were all sleep deprived, the excitement of being in another country took over and we took in everything we could on the short drive to our first hotel. The noise, smell, sounds, scooters, dogs, cows, people, all completely different to our surroundings just hours before.
We packed the short amount of time we had away with lots of sight seeing, activities, shopping and swimming. We took in as much as possible, used as much Indonesian as we could, trying the different foods and tried to explore a little out of the high tourist areas.
I've had many emails and questions on social media asking about traveling with children to Bali and would I take the twins (three) next time? Hotels to stay at, the best places to visit and more, and I will get to those in a blog post soon I promise.
For now, I have unpacking, washing, and twin cuddles to make up on. So I will leave you with a few images from our beautiful holiday.

Economic Value of an Urban Forest: $80 billion
Posted in Models, Research, Tools by Kate Archdeacon on March 22nd, 2012
Photo by Mike_tn via flickr CC
From "Environmental contribution of Tennessee's urban trees: $80 billion" by James Holloway:
A study published by the US Forest service values the State of Tennessee's urban forest at $80 billion thanks to its contributions to the environment. With an urban population of 284 million, that equates to a mean value of $282 per tree.
The total is based on a number of costs that are to some extent offset by the presence of Tennessee's urban forest (its urban tree population, in other words). These include $350 million-worth of carbon storage based on the current standing stock, over $204 million every year in pollution removal, $18.4 million per year in additional carbon sequestration, and $66 million per year in energy savings-"the most significant contribution" made by the urban forest, according to State Forester Steven G. Scott. But how are the environmental benefits of the trees evaluated?
Data was collected and analyzed using the Forest Service's own i-Tree Eco software. Using a mobile app providing strict protocols for data collection, researchers took information from 2418 trees and saplings across 255 field plots. Variables noted include species, diameter at breast height (or DBH—taken at 1.4 meters above ground), height, crown dimensions, foliage transparency, damage, and proximity to buildings. The pool of sample data is assumed to be representative of the total population, and from there the software crunches the numbers using "peer-reviewed equations" to paint a macro-scale picture of the urban forest, based on quantifiable characteristics that describe its structure, condition and function.

Traffic Roundabout: Award-Winning Civic Space
Posted in Models by Kate Archdeacon on February 1st, 2012
Source: City Parks Blog
From "A Design that Celebrates the People": Normal, IL Traffic Circle Wins Smart Growth Award as New Civic Space" by Colleen Gentles:
[In December last year], EPA announced the winners of the 2011 National Award for Smart Growth Achievement. We are excited to report that Normal, Illinois is the recipient of the award in the Civic Places category for their traffic roundabout.
We've written before about how the town's new traffic circle has successfully managed traffic flow at a busy five-way intersection, diverted thousands of gallons of untreated stormwater away from the nearby creek, and become the town center by bringing residents together in an attractive public space. The more recent news is how the traffic roundabout is spurring local economic development with the construction of a multimodal transportation station adjacent to the circle, courtesy of a U.S. Department of Transportation grant. Both the transportation hub, which will eventually have high-speed rail service and create an estimated 400-500 new jobs, and the circle take advantage of the town's existing infrastructure, bus service, and the historic central business district to attract even more residents to the new town center.
"The one-third-acre roundabout does much more than move cars. It invites pedestrians with shade trees, benches, lighting, bike parking, green space, and a water feature. People have lunch, read, and play music, and the open space invites community gatherings such as a holiday caroling event. It is the anchor for a community-wide revitalization and is part of Uptown Normal's LEED-ND Silver recognition.
A popular rails-to-trails conversion, the Constitution Trail, leads to and around the roundabout, helping both to revitalize Normal and to bring people from surrounding areas to Normal's central district. A new Children's Discovery Museum on the edge of the roundabout already receives over 140,000 visitors per year, and a hotel and conference enter have recently opened nearby. One indication of the success of the redevelopment is that property values in the district have increased by about 30 percent since 2004." Smart Growth Awards
According to the short video, this traffic circle was almost banned to pedestrians. It's a good thing town officials fought back. [Watching the video, it looks like there are weekly farmers markets held on the roundabout too. KA]
Read more about the project here, as well as the other winners from the 2011 National Award for Smart Growth Achievement.
The roundabout was designed by Hoerr Schaudt Landscape Architects. Check out their site for more photos and project details.
Making Toys From Waste: Small interventions

We make eco-friendly, 100% recycled, custom-designed stickers* that (combined with a little imagination) turn any old box into a wonderland of possibilities. Good for the imagination. Good for the earth. Good for the pocketbook.
FoodPool: Re-distribution at the neighbourhood scale
Posted in Models, Movements, Visions by Kate Archdeacon on November 18th, 2011

About FoodPool:
Our backyards are home to a wealth of gardens and fruit trees, many of which bear more produce than the gardener can consume, or more at one time than is desired. Often people end up with piles of unwanted zucchini, plums falling off trees to rot on the ground, peas that grow old and hard before they can be picked and shelled, and other garden produce that goes to waste. At FoodPool, we see the "problem" of excess garden abundance as an opportunity! It is an opportunity to help provide those in need with fresh, ripe, homegrown produce. The only obstacle lies in linking growers with their hungry neighbors.
Our answer is FoodPooling. Our mission is to create small, local groups to gather backyard garden produce and deliver it to food banks and food pantries. These "FoodPools" are modeled on carpools – neighborhood based, easy to set up, and a big win for everyone involved! By creating numerous small, local groups, we feed our neighbors while strengthening our communities.
Through the influence of people like Michelle Obama, Michael Pollan, Alice Waters, and many others, more and more people are returning to growing fruits and vegetables in their yards. At the same time, due to a host of factors, there is an ever increasing number of Americans going hungry, eating food of questionable nutritional value, and without access to quality produce. Now more than ever there is a real need for a garden produce donation program on a national scale – hence, FoodPool.
There are already groups gleaning produce in various places – groups whose work we heartily applaud. What makes FoodPool different from existing organizations that gather and donate fruit and/or vegetables is our goal of actively building a network of new gleaning groups in places where they don't already exist. We seek to spread the notion of assisting the hungry with backyard produce through promotion of this FoodPool "brand" on a national scale.

Apartment Food Gardens: Public and private spaces

Photo by Jason Gerhardt
Permaculture designer Jason Gerhardt and his partner moved from the country into a city apartment in Boulder, Colorado, just over a year ago. While they appreciated being in a home which had a smaller footprint and connected to local markets and bike access, the loss of food-growing space presented a challenge at first:
"The biggest challenge was how I was going to come up with 50 large containers to grow food in. We had 4-5 large containers that we used to grow tomatoes in in the mountains, but nothing more. The design for the containers was rather specific in that they needed to be large enough to support the growth of crops like peppers, tomatoes, zucchini, cabbages, etc. We also need the containers to be light in color so as not to over heat from the strong direct sun that our climate affords us. Lastly, I needed the containers to be attractive so my neighbors and the homeowners association wouldn't cause a stir. I began to search online trading posts such as craigslist, but only acquired three big containers that way. These were nice ceramic and wooden containers, but too expensive to furnish the whole patio with. I then happened upon a huge supply of full sized 5 gallon buckets from a mead maker in an industrial strip down the road. I realized they weren't the most attractive option, but they were free, salvaged from the wastestream, light in color, and large enough. I decided to use the buckets on my private patio area and put the more attractive containers down by the street and in view of the public."

Design with the Other 90%: CITIES features sixty projects, proposals, and solutions that address the complex issues arising from the unprecedented rise of informal settlements in emerging and developing economies. Divided into six themes—Exchange, Reveal, Adapt, Include, Prosper and Access—to help orient the visitor, the exhibition shines the spotlight on communities, designers, architects, and private, civic, and public organizations that are working together to formulate innovative approaches to urban planning, affordable housing, entrepreneurship, nonformal education, public health, and more.
Design with the Other 90%: CITIES is the second in a series of themed exhibitions that demonstrate how design can be a dynamic force in transforming and, in many cases, saving lives. The first exhibition, in 2007, Design for the Other 90%, focused on design solutions that addressed the most basic needs of the 90% of the world's population not traditionally served by professional designers.
Organized by Smithsonian's Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum, Design with the Other 90%: CITIES will be on view at the United Nations in New York City from October 17,2011 through January 9, 2012, and is available to travel in the United States and internationally beginning February 2012.

Planting a Stormwater-Fed Food Forest in the City
Posted in Movements by Kate Archdeacon on October 24th, 2011
The site in May 2009.
Two years later.
From "Suburban Dryland Forest Garden" on Permacultureglobal:
I love the forest, but I live in the city. Since I don't get to the wildlands nearly enough, my goal has been to create an edible forest throughout the city where I live. To me, it only makes sense to grow food where people live, and since a gargantuan number of people live in cities, it's due time to get urban food systems established. Having worked in large scale annual agriculture I'm much more inclined to grow food in the semblance of a perennial forest. […]
There were many challenges to contend with for this garden. First was a mature black walnut that succumbed to thousand canker disease. The city required that the tree be taken down as soon as possible to stem the spread of the disease.[…]
We sheet mulched this area heavily, up to 18 inches in places, as adding organic matter is reportedly the best way to lock-up and break down allelopathic chemicals [from the black walnut]. We used cardboard from the local bike shop to smother the bluegrass lawn, cow manure from a local ranch for fertility, leaves the client had collected over the years, and cast-off strawbales. The soil is now a nicely assimilated, dark and crumbly consistency. We harvested the runoff from nearly half of the house roof surface to gravity feed through four infiltration basins as the sole irrigation source. While most landscapes in Boulder are over-irrigated with municipally treated water, this garden harvests almost 10,000 gallons of rainwater annually to passively infiltrate into the soil, requiring zero municipal water post establishment. […]
We mulched the basins heavily with woodchips from a local tree trimmer to absorb the rainwater, reduce evaporation, and to prevent creating mosquito breeding habitat. Previously the water ran down the driveway and into the street only to evaporate in summer or ice up in winter. After three months of hand irrigation for plant establishment this garden now thrives strictly on harvested rainwater. After first digging the water harvesting earthworks, then planting the trees and shrubs, and following with sheet mulch, we planted various other useful plant species for nitrogen fixation, nutrient accumulation, pest confusion, and beneficial insect attraction. Most of the species have edible or medicinal qualities as well. […]
The growth in this garden is fantastic, and even better the homeowner has become a sincere advocate for rainwater harvesting and forest gardening. It has been two years since the garden was installed and it is encouraging to see the abundant results of needing no irrigation, producing food, creating wildlife habitat, being a great place to bring students, and simply being beautiful. This garden is an awesome place to eat, observe, and be! The scale of the garden is only 750 sq. ft. and is therefore easily and affordably replicated. With extremely low maintenance and no continuous irrigation cost, this garden has attracted other city dwellers to extend the edible forest ecosystem to other yards and neighborhoods. Perhaps the greatest yield from this garden is the food forest revolution that it has inspired!

Beehives on Airport Land
Posted in Movements by Kate Archdeacon on October 21st, 2011

From "At O'Hare Airport, Unused Land Is Going to the Bees" by Zak Stone:
In May, the Chicago Department of Aviation partnered with a community group to start a 2,400 square foot apiary on-site. Now 23 beehives are up and running and are scheduled to yield 575 pounds of honey this year. The project offers a creative, sustainable, and productive way to use otherwise wasted open space at mega-airports like O'Hare. The bees' new home on the east side of the airport campus had long stood vacant, so it was a natural spot for the bee program to begin. And if that's not enough benefit, the beehives provide employment opportunities for formerly incarcerated adults (similar to other projects that teach prisoners beekeeping).
Sweet Beginnings, the offshoot of the local economic development agency that's managing the project, trains felons in the art of beekeeping and the process of making honey, candles, and lotions, which are sold under the brand Beeline. O'Hare's shops intend to start selling the hyper-local honey products soon. "It is the perfect example of a green business operating and growing in Chicago, while also providing opportunities to those who need a second chance," said former Chicago mayor Richard M. Daley.

Human Microphones: Mass Word of Mouth
Posted in Movements by Kate Archdeacon on October 19th, 2011
Via No Tech Magazine
Photo by Mat McDermott via flickr CC
From We Are All Human Microphones Now by Richard Kim:
Anyone who's been down to Occupy Wall Street and stayed for a General Assembly will instantly recognize the call and response that begins, and frequently interrupts, each meeting.
"Mic check?" someone implores.
"MIC CHECK!" the crowd shouts back, more or less in unison.
The thing is—there's no microphone. New York City requires a permit for "amplified sound" in public, something that the pointedly unpermitted Occupy Wall Street lacks. This means that microphones and speakers are banned from Liberty Plaza, and the NYPD has also been interpreting the law to include battery-powered bullhorns. Violators can be sentenced for up to thirty days in prison. Further complicating the matter is the fact that Liberty Plaza is not actually a public park. It's privately owned by Brookfield Office Properties, landlords to Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase, and in addition to amplified sound, they've also sought to ban sleeping bags, tents and other equipment from what they call "Zuccotti Park."
So despite all the attention given to how Twitter, Facebook and livestream video have helped spread the word, the heart of the occupation is most definitely unplugged. But the protesters aren't deterred one bit; they've adopted an ingeniously simple people-powered method of sound amplification.
After the mic check, the meeting proceeds:
with every few words?/?WITH EVERY FEW WORDS!
repeated and amplified out loud?/?REPEATED AND AMPLIFIED OUT LOUD!
by what has been dubbed?/?BY WHAT HAS BEEN DUBBED!
the human microphone?/?THE HUMAN MICROPHONE!!! (jazz hands here).
The overall effect can be hypnotic, comic or exhilarating—often all at once. As with every media technology, to some degree the medium is the message. It's hard to be a downer over the human mic when your words are enthusiastically shouted back at you by hundreds of fellow occupiers, so speakers are usually pretty upbeat (or at least sound that way). Likewise, the human mic is not so good for getting across complex points about, say, how the Federal Reserve's practice of quantitative easing is inadequate to address the current shortage of global aggregate demand (although Joe Stiglitz valiantly tried on Sunday), so speakers tend to express their ideas in straightforward narrative or moral language.

Affordable Solar- & Water-harvesting House, built by students
Posted in Models by Kate Archdeacon on October 18th, 2011
Graphic by Leah Davies
WaterShed, the University of Maryland's [winner of] the U.S. Department of Energy's Solar Decathlon 2011, is a solar-powered home comprised of systems that interact with each other and the environment. A home that harvests, recycles, and reuses water, WaterShed not only conserves but produces resources with the water it captures. Inspired by the rich, complex ecosystems of the Chesapeake Bay watershed, the home displays harmony between modernity, tradition, and simple building strategies, balancing time-trusted best practices and cutting-edge technological solutions to achieve high efficiency performance in an affordable manner. The home was built by a multi-disciplinary team of students over the course of two years.
About the Design:
WaterShed is a solar-powered home inspired and guided by the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem, interconnecting the house with its landscape, and leading its dwellers toward a more sustainable lifestyle. The house is formed by two rectangular modules capped by a split-butterfly roof that is well-suited to capturing and using sunlight and rainwater. The spacious and affordable house features:
- constructed wetlands, filtering storm water and grey water for reuse
- a green roof, retaining stormwater and minimizing the heat island effect
- an optimally sized photovoltaic array, harvesting enough energy from the sun to power WaterShed year-round
- edible landscapes, supporting community-based agriculture
- a liquid desiccant waterfall, providing high-efficiency humidity control in the form of an indoor water feature
- a solar thermal array, supplying enough energy to provide all domestic hot water, desiccant regeneration, and supplemental space heating
- engineering systems, working in harmony and each acting to increase the effectiveness of the others
- a time-tested structural system that is efficient, cost-effective, and durable.
About the Solar Decathlon:
The U.S. Department of Energy's Solar Decathlon is a biennial competition challenging 20 student teams from universities around the world to design and build houses powered entirely by the sun. Over ten competition days, the teams compete in ten different events such as architecture, engineering, and affordability. The team with the highest overall score is the winner. Each day the winner of one of the ten contests is publicly announced, providing the opportunity for individual recognition among the decathlete teams. The winner of the 2011 competition will be the team that best blends affordability, consumer appeal, and design excellence with optimal energy production and maximum efficiency. This year's competition [was] on public display in the solar village at West Potomac Park, Washington, DC from September 23 – October 2. The house entries will be judged in subjective contests such as market appeal, communications, and home entertainment, and objective measured tests such as comfort zone, hot water, and energy balance. The houses are on public exhibition with the intent of educating visitors about environmental issues, emerging sustainable technologies, and energy-saving measures.

I will post the final records here in a bit, but wanted to get this information out so that the three
players playing for 2nd and 3rd place know what they have to do next weekend for the tie breaker.
1st Place-ImpalerWins:11-3
The following will play in the tie breaker:10-4
As a reminder, any ties will be decided by the army/NAVY game on Dec 10.
For that game players will be asked to provide a side pick, an over or under pick and a
pick giving the total points scored for both teams. All 3 picks must come in one post.
The picks will go in order. The first decider will be the side pick. All players
who get the right side will move on and then the next tie breaker will be
the over or under the total pick. Then if more than one player has that
correct pick, the player closest to the final combined points will be the
winner. If somehow more than one player ties for the closest points
to the final the prize money will be split.

Let's Pretend It's Not Going to Snow
You know when the weather guy is scared to say the s-word (snow) that it's bad. I don't think it will actually snow, but they are threatening a mix of white slushy stuff tonight and I'm pretty sure everyone out there with kids is going cray cray right about now. I'm choosing to ignore it. Instead, I will pretend that this is my backyard because how amazing would that be.
I'm also working on a moodboard for our basement. Kip bought us a new fancy flat screen for downstairs and my goal is to make the basement the main TV watching area (mainly because I'm tired of all of the toys upstairs). Since it doesn't look like we'll be going outside anytime soon, I'm going to play around with the indoors some more.
Have a good Monday y'all!

In case you didn't already know, I have "a thing" for Sunflowers! I've even been called "The Sunflower Whisperer" by my friends! :) For several years now, I have been photographing these magical beauties at a local farm, Brodhecker Farms, on Branchville-Lawson Road in Hampton (Sussex County, NJ). http://brodheckerfarm.com/ There are acres and acres of them, and when they bloom, it is nothing short of BREATH-TAKING! I have studied these flowers, taking them at all times of the day and night, watching how they react to the sun, how the insects pollinate them, etc., and I am so fascinated by them. I will continue to take sunflower photos, and add to this album. I hope you will come back to see my new work, and enjoy the view from wherever you are!
Here are dozens of my favorite images (with white in them, of course!) If you plan to paint a room in your home or office white this year, ANY of these prints will finish up your wall beautifully! Wall Art, Photographic Home Decor, and all other products are available in this Gallery and many others on my website.
I LOVE THE HOLIDAYS! I bring my camera to every holiday gathering, and capture the love and cheer we all feel when we're together! Now, I am sharing those images with YOU, so you can create your own gifts for your friends and loved ones! Create a card or gift tag, make an invitation, order a mug, mousepad, apron or cutting board for your favorite host or hostess! Find the perfect gift for a teacher or coach. SHARE THE LOVE, and have fun being creative, just like I did, when I crafted the images :) Happy Holidays! XOXOXO
I have been a nature-lover since I was a little girl. Growing up in Northwestern NJ, I saw many different kinds of wildlife right in my own yard. As the years have passed, I have come to really enjoy watching animals and birds in their natural habitats. That can mean stepping outside my door, or travelling to a Zoo to see a wide variety of beautiful creatures. I hope you enjoy viewing them as much as I did watching and photographing them!
I've been shooting Weddings for about 20 years, mostly for friends and family. In the past few years, however, I've done my share of paid jobs...whether it was on my own, or as a Second Shooter. Any way I look at it, it is an honor to capture someone's most memorable day! Between the families and friends, to the little details, to the locations themselves, Weddings are a beautiful and fun challenge.
As you may already know, I enjoy decorating as much as I enjoy photography. I have been able to combine my talents by showing YOU how to create beautiful spaces in your homes and offices! With the Paint and Color industries working closely together, they've come up with "Colors of the Year", and these colors (chosen by an amazing panel of experts at CAUS Color Association of the United States) are what become the trends in both fashion and home decor. If you plan to paint this year, and you're going to need new artwork, HERE is a GREAT PLACE to start!
I was hired by a law firm to create a Gallery Wall in their new office space. I referred to it as "Dressing the Walls", since more than one wall needed to be done! I was also hired to design a functional waiting area for their new foyer outside of their new floor. It was wonderful to work with a clean slate, and create a space that was pretty, functional, and inviting to both clients and employees.
I was hired by Avellino Custom Masonry to photograph finished jobs for their website and marketing materials. They made a GREAT investment in their business...just take a look at their website! www.avellinomasonry.com
Since I was young, I've enjoyed photographing landscapes. Growing up in the "Garden State" was probably the reason why I like it so much! Lush greenery, hills and mountains, lakes and ponds, crazy and windy roads, farms and fields...I had a lot of subject matter to practice shooting! Still one of my favorites, no matter where me and my camera wind up...

Radio listeners in Kumasi, the Ashanti regional capital, are virtually in tears over ace broadcast journalist, Kwame Adinkra's, departure from the region.
The seasoned broadcaster recently shocked residents of Kumasi when he left Angel FM to pitch camp with Atinka FM in Accra, the national capital.
Kwame Adinkra's exit from the radio industry in the Ashanti Region came as a great surprise to radio listeners, notably his numerous fans.
Scores of people in the region have expressed gross concern over Adinkra's decision to leave the area at this time, without giving any hint.
According to them, Adinkra, over the years, acted as the official voice of the region by sacrificing and fighting for the interest and growth of the area.
They particularly recounted how Adinkra, through the powerful medium of radio, championed for developmental projects to take place in the region.
According to them, Kwame Adinkra until his departure was the face of radio in Kumasi just as Kwame Kayi is for Accra.
The people, therefore, described his exit from the area as a great blow to the radio industry in Kumasi and the Ashanti Region in general.
They observed that radio in Kumasi, in particular the morning show segment, had become hollow since Adinkra left the scene some few weeks ago.
Some of the people even went to the extent of launching blistering attack on Kwame Adinkra's personality over his decision to leave the region.
'Kwame Adinkra has been unfair to the people of Ashanti Region by leaving the area at this time,' an angry looking Maame Adwoa lamented.
Kwaku Appiah, a resident of Krofrom nearly hurled insults at Kwame Adinkra over his decision to leave the region, accusing him of being unfair to the region.
Sounding angry, he stated, 'Now that he has left the Ashanti Region, who will be championing the interest of the people as well as the region on radio?'
Wofa Yaw of Bantama, on his part, said Kwame Adinkra had left a huge vacuum in the radio industry in Kumasi which would be very difficult to fill any time soon.
He lambasted Kwame Adinkra for allowing himself to be wooed by huge money to leave Kumasi for Accra, noting, 'He left because of money.'
Wofa Yaw urged Kwame Adinkra to return to Kumasi, saying, 'His fans are ready to contribute to poach him from Atinka FM.'
Kwame Adinkra dominated the radio industry in Kumasi for more than a decade during his days at Otec, Fox, Kapital and Angel FM.
