One of the unique things about photography is the many different categories of photography and types of shooting you can do. Regardless if your a pro or a serious hobbyist, or even a soccer mom taking family snaps, photos tend to fall into a category or niche`. There's portrait work, sports, landscape, nature, glamor, macro, wedding and event, and so on. Some people specialize, some folks try to do it all.
I make my living shooting motorsports… I shoot a lot of motorsports. But as I stated before, I'm not what you'd call a race "fan." I enjoy the racing and the cars, to be sure. But I'm not in it as a fan or to be around the cars… my true passion is the photography.
Given that, I shoot a lot for leisure as well. There's nothing I enjoy more than some quiet time alone just walking around with my rangefinder taking photos. I enjoy taking photos of my kid and I've been known to dabble in photographing pretty girls. Truth is, I probably enjoy shooting the pretty girls more than the race cars… I've always been a fan of pretty girls and enjoy being around them. Go figure!
Lately I started thinking about who I'm shooting for or who my obligation is to. Because I love what I do, I'm shooting for me and my enjoyment. But, let's face it, when I'm trackside, I have clients and I'm shooting for my dinner. Money is definitely a motivation that can't be left from the equation. And even shooting pretty girls is also somewhat client driven, but typically its a trade in kind since most of the girls aren't in a position to match my day rate anyway. But that's ok… it gives me the freedom to shoot what I want to shoot, build a portfolio (and reputation) and to even say no.
Of course photos of my kid can be a mixed bag. First, he can be a reluctant model. But the "job" requires a mixed bag of technique. You get action, sports, event, portrait, candids… fortunately, no wedding yet (I DON'T do weddings and I assure you I won't shoot that one either).
The point of all this brings me back to the title; Who Are You Shooting For?
I realized recently that with the different types of shooting I do, each comes with different motivation and (if you're serious) obligation. Compensation aside, I realized that creatively I shoot differently based on who the audience is going to be.
It would be nice and albeit noble if I could simply announce that I am slave to no one… only my craft and my vision. But let's face it, we all have to make a living. And I think we all crave some level of approval. I think we all want to make pictures that others enjoy and admire.
So given my three main categories of shooting, motorsports, pretty girls, and my kid, it occurred to me that I had subconsciously developed a self-imposed sense of obligation to each. I realized that when I shot motorsports I did it with a goal of pleasing the audience…. clients, race fans etc. But when I shoot pretty girls, I feel an obligation to the subject. And of course, with personal photos I want to please myself and provide joy for other family members.
Because I shoot a lot, I been doing this on auto pilot and somewhat subconsciously. You probably have too. But for me, it was the glamor shooting that made me more aware of it. I found myself being very protective of my subjects and working harder to make them comfortable and happy with the results. Also, I think it is an issue of trust. Winning a model's trust can go a long way to getting the most out of a shoot. It provides them with a comfort level that allows them to relax and extend their reach to get something good from the session. When they know you have their best interest at heart, you'll get the real deal.
Ultimately, my obligation shooting race cars is to my client and race fans. Simply put, they are the end viewer. With glamor photography my obligation is to the subject. With family photos I'm shooting with an obligation to the subject and a limited audience of close family members.
The big challenge is recognizing and acknowledging that obligation, accomplishing the goal, all-the-while remaining true to yourself, your art and your vision.
Of course, there will be those idealistic artists who will argue that you're selling out and that you should only shoot art for the sake of art. I don't buy it. Yes I'm selling… but I'm not selling out. If your "art" doesn't have an audience, while it may be art, no one is seeing it. Kind of like the tree that falls in the forest with no one around; does it make a sound? Or maybe like having sex… by yourself? Ok… we'll leave it at that.
Your pictures deserve an audience and like it or not, you have an obligation to emotionally move that audience.
Try applying this criteria to your own shooting. Whether you're a pro, serious hobbyist or the family's designated camera guy/girl. Think about who's looking at the end product and what they're hoping for. Work to that goal while striving to stay honest to your own creativity and esthetic. It might just change the way you shoot.
And yes… I might be wrong.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: If you're in the San Francisco area, please make a note; I'll be presenting at Apple in San Francisco September 19th, 2011 at 6:30PM - There will be a photo presentation, discussion and brief explanation on how I use Apple's Aperture and other tools in my workflow.

MOLINE, IL – As Matt Harding mentioned in his May 9th article, the Quad City Mallards' affiliation with the Minnesota Wild has ended. While he believes it would be beneficial for the Mallards to continue their affiliation with the Minnesota Wild, I have a differing opinion. I believe it would be best for the Mallards to affiliate with the Vegas Golden Knights. I know, I know, I'm crazy and that makes no sense, right? Well, I actually think it does.
Hear me out here, okay?
The Golden Knights are a brand new team, without any sort of pool of talent to draw from. Mallards coach Phil Axtell has been a draw for players recently, as he had been with the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders with the likes of Michael Parks, Sam Warning, and Justin Kovacs. The fact that the Golden Knights would be creating an NHL team from scratch will probably mean that their AHL team could be decimated (I would speculate on who the AHL team could be; I'll leave that to someone else). If the AHL team gets decimated, that would mean the ECHL team would also see a lot of call-ups. It would work well, as players would most likely only have ECHL contracts and therefore the AHL team would have more options as to who to call up. Of course, that would also require the AHL team not having another affiliate.
The Mallards haven't seen much of a kickback from Minnesota or Iowa the past seasons. While they have received players at the beginning of the season or even during the season, that's all the affiliation has consisted of. The Mallards get a few players, and the Mallards lose a few players to the AHL team. While we've received some great players — Steve Michalek, Adam Vay, Brady Brassart to name some – there have also been some absolute duds sent to the QC team. While it's not my place to go into detail why some players were duds, it's just a fact of life – and minor league hockey. I'd be disappointed to see some of the Iowa guys no longer with the Mallards, but those that I really wish would return are those no longer on Minnesota's payroll (funny how that works out). But Minnesota or Iowa have made no real appearance in the Quad Cities; it was the Chicago Blackhawks' Ice Girls that appeared at a game this season, not Minnesota or Iowa's Ice Crew. While some argument could be made that because Chicago is closer it's likely there are more fans of that team so it would be a bigger draw for the Mallards, Chicago isn't the Mallards' affiliate so it made little sense in my mind. Other than announcing before every game that the Mallards are the "proud affiliate of the NHL's Minnesota Wild and the AHL's Iowa Wild" and a few of the players wearing Iowa t-shirts during two-touch, there's no real presence by the Wild.
The Mallards recently finished their 20th season, complete with an alumni game and a special 20th anniversary logo and sweater. What better way to continue the excitement of such a milestone than to sign an affiliation agreement with a brand new team? It would make sense for the Mallards, as many fans have expressed discontent with the current affiliation agreement. A breath of fresh air might reinvigorate fans into following their parent team more closely, which would help the Golden Knights.
On that same note, the Wild haven't been a shining beacon of playoff success. While I cover neither Minnesota nor Iowa, I do my best to follow them closely throughout the season – helped by the fact that my father is a Minnesota fan and the near-constant occurrence of a Mallard being in Iowa. One can't help but wonder if there is some trickle-down in the system causing a problem. Minnesota drafts players, and generally they either go to Minnesota or Iowa. The players then stay in Iowa, or they go to the Mallards. While I admit this season was the best one that Iowa has seen, they still missed the playoffs. Further north, Minnesota had a great year but was still eliminated in the first round – just like the Mallards. System-wide failure in engineering is normally solved by going back to the drawing board and reworking from the beginning since some part is not meeting expectations. While the Mallards can't craft an affiliate team from scratch, they can affiliate with a team that's working from scratch.
Now to look at some benefits for the Golden Knights. For one thing, the Mallards are in an established market with a dedicated fan base, while the Golden Knights definitely aren't. It's been a few years since the Las Vegas Wranglers last played – they suspended operations in 2014 and then folded the next year. The Wranglers lasted for 11 seasons in the ECHL before being forced out by the lack of an arena; the Golden Knights will be playing in the year-old T-Mobile Arena. By affiliating with the Mallards, the Golden Knights would essentially be buying some fans via the agreement. I mean, what fan doesn't want the parent team to do well, right? (Mostly, of course; some rivalries can't be overcome by affiliation). If the Golden Knights play their cards right – do some public relations stuff, make their presence known in the Quad Cities, do more than just put the name on the website – the affiliation could work great and they'd have fans in the Quad City area. Yes, it would be nowhere near as large a fan base as say the Blackhawks or the Wild have – or even dare I say the Blues – but Rome wasn't built in a day. It'll take some time for the Golden Knights to have a solid fan base, so any little bit helps.
I know I said I wasn't going to speculate about the AHL team, but let me present some facts. The Chicago Wolves will be unaffiliated in the fall; Reid Duke – who was drafted in 2014 by Minnesota, by the way – is playing with the Wolves after finishing his juniors career with the Brandon Wheat Kings on a professional try-out agreement. Duke is famous for being the first player signed with the Golden Knights. Could it be coincidence that he's playing there? Maybe; there are only so many AHL teams and even fewer in the playoffs. But if Las Vegas were to choose the Wolves as their AHL affiliate, it's only an 180-mile trip between Chicago and Moline via I-80 – and the Wolves actually play in a northern suburb, Rosemont. If the team was to pony up some more money, a player could fly from Chicago to Moline in about an hour in dire emergencies: the arena in Rosemont is five miles from O'Hare (or a mile and a half as the crow flies).
**EDIT** Following the submitting of this article, this tweet was posted.
Vegas Golden Knights will share affiliation of Chicago Wolves with #stlblues. Will be made official when the #ChiWolves are eliminated.
— Scottrade General (@The_STG) May 11, 2017
This supports my conjecture that the Wolves will be the affiliates. However, it hasn't been released by either the Wolves or the Blues.
Will the Mallards change their affiliation to the Golden Knights? Honestly, probably not. The Wild organization is closer than Las Vegas, and it's a bit of a risk to affiliate with a brand new team.
Is it worth the risk, though?
I think so.

"You are a den of vipers and thieves. I intend to rout you out, and by the Eternal God, I will rout you out. If the American people only understood the rank injustice of our money and banking system, there would be a revolution before morning. If the central bank continues to control our currency, receiving our public monies, and holding thousands of our citizens in dependence, it would be more formidable and dangerous than the naval and military power of the enemy.

-Benjamin Franklin
"Whoever controls the volume of money in our country is absolute master of all industry and commerce…when you realize that the entire system is very easily controlled, one way or another, by a few powerful men at the top, you will not have to be told how periods of inflation and depression originate."
-James Garfield, 20th President Of U.S. Assassinated 1881
"Every effort has been made by the Federal Reserve Board to conceal its powers, but the truth is that the Federal Reserve System has usurped the government. It controls everything in congress and it controls all our foreign relations. It makes and breaks governments at will."
-Louis McFadden, Chairman of the House Committee on Banking and Currency
"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Already they have raised up a moneyed aristocracy that has set the government at defiance. The issuing power of money should be taken away from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs."
-Thomas Jefferson
"Some people think the Federal Reserve Banks are the United States government's institutions. They are not government institutions. They are private credit monopolies which prey upon the people of the United States for the benefit of themselves and their foreign swindlers."
~Congressional Record 12595-12603 June 10, 1932
"The eyes of our citizens are not sufficiently open to the true cause of our distress. They ascribe them to everything but their true cause: the banking system... a system which if it could do good in any form is yet so certain of leading to abuse as to be utterly incompatible with the public safety and prosperity."
-Thomas Jefferson
"Most Americans have no real understanding of the operation of the international money lenders. The accounts of the Federal Reserve System have never been audited. It operates outside the control of Congress and manipulates the credit of the United States."
-United States Senator Barry Goldwater
"The financial system has been turned over to the Federal Reserve Board. That board administers a finance system by authority of a purely profiteering group. That system is private, conducted for the sole purpose of obtaining the greatest possible profits from the use of other people's money. This (Federal Reserve) Act establishes the most gigantic trust on Earth. When the president signs this bill, the invisible governments by the monetary power will be legalized. The people may not know it immediately but the day of reckoning is only a few years removed, the worst legislatives crime of the ages perpetrated by this banking bill."

Poor Coty
I went out to the barn this morning to do my usual morning chores. It's sunny today after a day of foggy, wind swept rain, and all the alpacas were out in the pasture. North and Earth came into the barn while I was scooping alpaca poo. I pushed the wheelbarrow out to the Big Pile to dump it and when I came back into the paddock the rest of the alpacas ran up too. I greeted them all by name as I usually do.
Coty was standing near the outside hay bin. I casually asked him how his wound was doing this morning and walked into the barn to begin refilling the hay bins. Here I am fluffing hay when Coty sauntered in, bleeding all over again! Yikes! Quickly I went into 'vet' mode and shut the barn panel, herded Coty and North into the pen, turned on the inside barn lights, and got paper towels to clean him up again. He must have rubbed his head on something and pulled off the scab. At least it wasn't a new wound! He winced strongly when I first applied pressure against his gash, such tender ears alpacas have, and then stood calmly while I waited there for the blood to stop. North was a good companion and didn't leave his side. Earth fussed from just outside the pen door.
I did a quick couple of wipes down Coty's neck. It wasn't anywhere near as bad as the other night and I know that this blood on top of his fleece will eventually wash off on its own. I let him and North out of the pen and opened up the barn again. Bo and Arlo came in quickly to check out the new hay. I finished adding and fluffing hay to the other bins and re-filled water buckets.
And that's when I realized that Coty had managed to bleed on just about everyone else.
Welcome to our farm! We have a small herd of red-spotted alpacas!

Ecology's importance in relation to, well, everything, is obvious, and so what could there be to say? I recall the many discussions I've shared with brilliant, creative friends wherein it was agreed that so-and-so prefers tarot cards while another dear soul doesn't trust them and instead likes to write in a journal as a way of figuring out her life. Multiple perspectives are important in every subject, just as diversity is the key to balance on a farm.

The Gift Of Yourself
I wondered if writing this article would help anyone get through the holidaze, and I remembered the story about the starfish: A man walking along a beach tosses washed-up starfish that are still alive back into the sea. A stranger passing by asks him why he bothers to do it when there are so many of them. He tells the stranger that his small action meant something to the one he was about to toss back out into the ocean.
Community On the Highway
This is one account of an intense storm & what a highway full of weekenders did to cope. In most neighborhoods, lines in the landscape tell you where you can flow. By this I mean where you can walk, ride, skateboard, climb, and generally move. Even without thinking about it, you probably stay within the boundaries set forth to keep you in line Continue reading Community On the Highway
Pizza Permaculture
One of the main principles of Permaculture is to grow by chunking, or to start with a manageable piece of a site and build off of it so as to connect each area within the larger context. In other words, pick a spot that makes sense to you and go from there. "There" can be the back door of your new home in late Spring, where you only have space and time for a small kitchen garden. It can be a barn that holds your front-burner project. Whatever you choose, once you start working Permaculture into your site, it becomes easier in a way.
For my intern, who is building a cob pizza oven for this year's Village Building Convergence on a double lot in Northeast Portland, Oregon, a Pizza Permaculture garden made sense. We assembled a design team and met on-site several times to assess and prepare the space for holding the workshop.
Design considerations were limited by other activities and features sited nearby:
· Sun exposure needs for the plants differ from that of the mushrooms, so I sited the tomatoes next to the "crusts" (burlap bags containing mushroom spawn & growing medium at the tops of the beds) without the use of cages. This will allow the tomatoes to drape over the burlap bags and shade the spawn inside, creating a microclimate.
· Proximity to the cob oven makes it easy for owners and their guests to bring fresh ingredients to the prep area when the pizza dough is ready to be topped.
· Leaving adequate space for movement around fire pit seats and the wildlife tree bench ensures a welcoming and comfortable space as well as a functional garden.
· Narrowing paths between beds allows for such a small garden to inhabit this special sun-drenched spot amidst other activities and gardens.
· Visually linking the garden to pizza via shaping the beds like slices is a fun way to key potential users into the social side of Permaculture.
Permaculture principles adhered to included:
A. Observe over time & design for specific site & client. The owners have lived at the site for six years & have been able to witness & cooperate with site microclimates, as well as weave the pizza garden in with other design elements, namely the cob oven. In addition, following the installation, they will be able to observe its success and make adjustments over time, extending the observation period.
B. "Start small with intensive & productive systems that are manageable."* The design is for a very small overall area, but inside it much is happening. From soil layering to mycoremediation, the pizza garden allows for growth by chunking.
C. Obtain a yeild. Herbs will continually produce, and so will mushrooms. Plants like Basil and tomatoes are fun to plant each year and widely available. Giant zucchini can be shared with neighbors or provide potluck dishes to help the owners continue to build community with their neighbors and the Permaculture network of Portland.
D. Connect using relative location. We've placed the pizza garden in useful relationship to the wildlife tree bench, firepit, and cob oven. This means being able to walk between all of these areas, carry produce fresh-picked from the garden to the oven's prep counter, and sit comfortably on the bench and around the firepit.
E. Use biological & renewable resources. Donated plants & organic compost & mulches, & volunteer design & labor contribute to social as well as natural capital, or the long-term establishment of beneficial relationships & stored energy.
F. Turn problems into solutions. When we recognized that the beds had been sited 12" too close to the bench in an effort to give room for firepit seating, we were able to plan for narrowing the bench around the wildlife tree as well as move the beds out. This solved the problem of people not being able to lean back against the tree before when sitting on the bench.
*paraphrased by Tom Ward
Watch this video from one of our site prep meetings: Beds Are Dug, Now Let's Talk A Bit
Here are the steps of the workshop:
1. Scrape to bare clay earth, about 4 to 6 inches depth
2. Lay down a thick layer of innoculated hardwood chips (6 months' old Alder, Maple, Birch, Cottonwood, Ash = no more than 20% of pile)
3. Spread a compost layer on top of wood chips and mix with chips
4. Layer with cardboard that is 3/4 wet and has been punctured with holes for each plant
5. Plant and topdress with compost
Following the installation of the mushrooms and plants, children immediately began playing a guitar and swinging near the new garden, and a chicken hopped in next to the smallest Basil plant. We erected a chicken fence.
I wanted to make the workshop replicable, so that anyone not familiar with Permaculture could use it to get started in a manageable way, or show their grandparents how fun and useful Permaculture can be. A young woman from San Francisco wanted to use the workshop to introduce her summer camp group to sustainable gardening. A designer from Montana took inspiration from the lively discussion during the workshop for seeking a more deeply satisfying niche. Look for the workshop again soon. And start preparing your spiel to your grandparents. 🙂

Jamie Zeppas portrayal of her life in Bhutan is written with such insight and care for the world around her, that even the most jaded world traveller would find enchantment in its pages and be captivated by her story as I certainly was. It is the story of her "coming of age " from a materialistic Canadian to leading a simplistic life in a far away country. She tells of her struggles to come to terms with living a new life and learning to adapt to the strange new situation she finds herself in.
I loved the first half in particular, because the picture of the village and especially her relationship with the students was really vivid and touching. Her tales of the school children in the village of Pema Gatshel are both amusing and heartwarming. This is a society where children revere their teachers. The author acknowledges that these children have taught her a lot more than she was able to teach them.
The second half of the book reveals the troubled mind she had after falling in love with one of her students, whom she eventually marries and has his child. Jamie Zeppa also delves into the deep political unrest that is found in Bhutan and how she tried to understand events through her students.
This is a well-written, interesting book about her stay in Bhutan. If you are curious about this tiny Himalayan nation and want to travel there one day as I do, you'll enjoy the book.
Thankyou to Shikha of Nomadscibblings for introducing me to this book in one of her tweets 🙂
and to Amazon for stocking it

I have no idea how to begin, which picture to start with? I was away visiting friends who live on the Magnetawan River. What a weekend. The weather was crispy cold, –28C at it's coldest, and that's tree cracking cold, not to mention eyeball and nut freezing cold (interpret that as you wish, but lets just say the husband owns no longjohns). We love snow! And cold! And great company. The weather could not have been better. Arctic highs at anytime rev my engines, and this weekend I could not stop. I was FAST, and couldn't settle. Skiing, I was running ahead of the pack and circling back, continuously, like a wind-up toy (likely an annoying wind-up toy), I was almost, no, definitely relieved when we skied off the snowmobiled trails (which were perfect for my skiis) and into deep trackless snow. That slowed me down to normal. There was more snow than I remember seeing since my childhood. Finally, maybe one last kick at the can, a pre-global warm/climate changed winter. One beautiful crispy cold snow bound super fun white wonderland winter. Oh joy and bliss.
Yes, for real, that's me in hip deep snow, fun fun fun..and I was wearing skiis, so there was more snow further down.
iridescent cloud through the trees just below the sun (red spot is just a lens effect)
We also were treated to the most beautiful noon sky I've ever seen. A quick glance towards the sun, and I realized there was quite a phenomenon overhead. We were treated to a lovely display of iridescent cloud. It turns out that a good pair of polarized sunglasses (thanks Cyd) will let you see this under circumstances that bare eyes cannot. I had to loan my husband my pair so he too to gaze up and say "Oh Wow!". My camera, a pocket type, has no polarized filter, but an auto-enhance with irfanview ramped up the colours to something that approximates what I saw. So while the photo has been enhanced, it basically shows it how I saw it (wearing polarized glasses) without exaggeration (including the top photo).
an abandoned car wearing a few feet of snow.
Skiing up the portage. Snowmobiles tried to get through and gave up. We had deep powder. I mostly skied through the trees to stay on top of the crust/sort of.
Happy shiny winter people.
Nice day for a ski…
Nice day for a walk too.

Nation's No. 1 athlete will not make it on Alabama's campus this weekend
Alabama fans can blame the weather for this one.
Mecole Hardman, Jr., the nation's No. 1 athlete from Elbert County High School (Bowman, Ga.), will not make his official visit to Alabama this weekend due to the weather, he announced on Twitter.
So what does his absence likely mean for Alabama's chances? Well, it's definitely a huge blow for the Crimson Tide staff to not have the five-star prospect on campus one last time before he makes his decision on National Signing Day. He cannot reschedule the visit for next weekend because he's participating in the USA vs. Canada game in Dallas on Jan. 30. He's leaving for Texas on Tuesday.
The 5-foot-10, 169-pounder named Alabama his leader two weeks ago, but most in the recruiting industry feel like when he does announce his commitment, he will choose Georgia. New Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart and defensive coordinator Mel Tucker made their final sales pitch to Hardman on Thursday night.
"(Smart) told me to come to play at Georgia, and have fun," Hardman said. "He's not going to stress out about my decision. He said the decision I make is mine, and he's not going to stress out, regardless of what I do. He'll support me."
His parents are expected to make the short drive to Athens, Ga. next week to check out Georgia's campus one last time before their son signs his papers on Feb. 3.

Just the Way They Are
By Emily Zinos, Grassroots Coordinator for Ask Me First MN
More and more often, I'm hearing stories of children and young adults wrestling with their sexual identity. Moms reach out to tell me that their teen daughter wants to be addressed with gender neutral pronouns, fathers want to know why three of his daughter's friends have announced they're transgender, and grandmothers tell me of grandsons that have been enrolled in school as girls. With the trans trend becoming widespread, it's more and more likely that you will either encounter someone struggling to accept their sex or have to answer hard questions on the subject from your kids. Are you ready for those challenges?
As a man who lived as a transgender woman for nearly a decade, Walt Heyer can help answer those challenging questions with the sort of perspective only personal struggle can grant. Walt knows all too well that gender confusion is often a symptom of much deeper troubles. His own gender dysphoria was first prompted by his grandmother, who sewed a dress for him to wear in secret when he visited her house. Walt confessed in an article that, "My grandmother withheld affirmations of me as a boy, but she lavished delighted praise upon me when I was dressed as a girl. Her actions planted the idea in me that I was born in the wrong body. She nourished and encouraged the idea, and over time it took on a life of its own."
When Walt was in his thirties, he was cross-dressing in public, drinking and abusing drugs, which prompted his wife to file for divorce. Looking for a cure, Walt decided to seek out help from a prominent gender psychologist. The psychologist diagnosed Walt with gender dysphoria and recommended sex change surgery, but ignored the impact childhood abuse and alcoholism had inflicted on Walt's mental health. Surgery turned out to be a devastating "treatment" suggestion. Walt later recalled that "the reprieve provided by surgery and life as a woman was only temporary. Hidden deep underneath the make-up and female clothing was the little boy carrying the hurts from traumatic childhood events, and he was making himself known. Being a female turned out to be only a cover-up, not healing."
It was Christ who finally brought healing to Walt. Still living as a woman, he had difficulty finding a church that would accept him and was once even asked to leave by a pastor who discovered that he was transgender. He eventually found a church that welcomed him, identity struggles and all. The pastor of that church told him, "Our job is to love you and it's God's job to transform you." And transformation did happen: Walt began his journey back to wholeness as a man created by God. Today, Walt devotes his time to speaking and writing, and is especially passionate about stopping what he calls "the madness of gender change for kids."
Walt is bringing his message of hope and healing to the Twin Cities on November 4th, as the keynote speaker at the daylong "Gender Matters!" event, hosted by Outpost Ministries and Minnesota Family Council.
With sessions throughout the day that will bring clarity to the transgender issue through Biblical truth, legal realities, and Walt's moving story, you'll be well-prepared to shine a light in the darkness. Too many young people today are being led down the same path that Walt stumbled along, a path that rushes the vulnerable into confusion and irreversible medical procedures. Register now for "Gender Matters!" here and gather the tools you'll need to witness to the truth of God's creation and to show compassion toward those who struggle with gender identity issues.
As Walt says, "Let's affirm and love our young people just the way they are."

Stephs Cheers and Jeers was provided the samples mentioned in this post in return for an unbiased review.
I bake a lot, especially shortbread and I prefer to bake strictly with butter. I feel it provides a better taste than alternatives and as someone who comes from a long line of dairy farmers, there really IS no alternative in my opinion. I recently teamed up with Minerva Dairy to talk about their products as well as host a great giveaway for you guys and gals!
Minerva Dairy is located in Minerva, OH and was founded in 1894 when 1st Generation Max P. Radloff established Radloff Cheese in Wisconsin. In 1935 with the production of bottled milk, ice cream, butter, and cheese came Minerva Dairy. Today the business is still family owned and still produces an 84% Batch Churned Amish Butter as well as a wide variety of cheese that includes Cheddar, Swiss, Italian, and Kosher varieties.
I was sent a 2lb roll of their 84% Batch Churned Amish Butter to check out and boy was I excited!
Their 84% Batch Churned Amish Butter is made with 84% butterfat and made by the batch in a churn. The slow churning process gives the butter an authentic thick texture and then additive-free Sea Salt is added before its hand packed.
The butter arrived in a cooler unmelted, I ended up taking the 2lb roll and cutting some of it into smaller pieces and placing them in a plastic bag for easier access. I found that their better has a well-balanced flavor, melts well and reminds me of the butter my grandmother use to buy directly from an Amish farm near her house. It made AMAZING shortbread cookies and is great for bulk baking because it comes in 2lb rolls as well as quarter sticks, 8oz rolls and even flavors such as Garlic & Herb, Pumpkin Spice, Maple Syrup and Smoked Maplewood.

IS a college degree's worth best measured by the income its recipient makes 5 or 10 years down the road? Is college primarily a catapult to wealth? These were questions implicitly raised by
Is time in the military, in a store or at home with children comparable to time in a classroom, and should it count in some way toward a degree? There are university administrators who think so and who are trying to increase "completion rates" — the percentage of students who make it all the way to degrees — by giving
Some states and educators see the spread of massive open online courses (MOOCs) as a terrific way to enroll more young people in college at a more affordable price, but there's little if any evidence so far that this approach is optimal, especially for the students stretching the furthest to incorporate higher education into their lives.
And already, the higher learning that too many young Americans partake of leaves a lot to be desired.
Although our lurch from one crisis to the next — the
And if you think we're suitably competitive as is, then consider another survey, published last week by the
"Higher education policy needs to focus not just on access and affordability but also quality and success," Michael Dannenberg, the director of higher education policy for the Education Trust, said last week when I asked him what the moral of the skills survey was. He added that while completion rate was one aspect of success, "it's not the whole story."
In a different week, the survey might have garnered more attention, but Washington's dysfunction sucks the oxygen out of every other discussion. You can't tackle education or
The escalation of tuition, the crippling rise of student debt and a persistently high jobless rate over recent years have rightly prompted educators, politicians and other policy makers to float and implement methods to make college less financially onerous, in part by collapsing the time it takes for students to get their degrees. After all, statistics suggest that college diplomas are the best amulets against unemployment and the surest paths to a good income.
And the Obama administration, to its credit, has made clear in its recent proposals that the measurable effectiveness of schools shouldn't be overlooked in the process. That was a big part of the new higher-education policy it laid out in August, which Dannenberg described as positive "baby steps" in the right direction.
But the inclusion of graduates' earnings as one yardstick of effectiveness belongs to a broader trend of seeing college in pecuniary terms that could easily go too far. Setting students up for immediate careers and giving them the intellectual tools that will serve them best over a lifetime aren't necessarily one and the same, and in several states and at many universities, the vigorous push to plump up enrollment and herd students into particular programs threatens to make college too much of a vocational school.
"The notion is, let's transform higher education into job training,"
Ackerman said that when you also factor in the proliferation of online courses for disadvantaged students, you begin to see what could easily become an overly tiered, wildly inconsistent college landscape of "a few superstars and then a lot of glorified teaching systems" that aren't all that constructive.
We're in a tricky, troubling spot. At a time when our nation's ability to tackle complicated policy problems is seriously in doubt, we must pull off a delicate balancing act. We must make college practical but not excessively so, lower its price without lowering its standards and increase the number of diplomas attained without diminishing not only their currency in the job market but also the fitness of the country's work force in a cutthroat world.

text: Tax, Accounting & Finance HMRC tax letter "underplaying" impact on employers By Lynda Hamilton Parker - December 4, 2015 Most of us, by now, will have received a letter from HMRC about the introduction of the new Scottish Rate of Income Tax (SRIT) but the correspondence only tells half of the story, according to an Edinburgh-based audit, tax and consulting specialist. In fact, RSM – formerly known as Baker Tilly – is warning that the campaign underplays the impact on employers. It says the letter encourages Scottish taxpayers to ensure their address details are correct in a bid to reassure the majority, for whom residence is a simple matter, that no further action is needed. According to RSM, it also explains that, from next April, Scottish taxpayers who are either employed or receive a pension will have a new tax code beginning with the letter 'S'. But the firm is warning that the introduction of the SRIT will have a significant but under-recognised impact on employers in Scotland and beyond. Stephen Hay, head of tax at RSM in Scotland, said: "Recent research suggests there is a very low level of awareness of the Scottish rate of income tax among those who will be paying it. While these letters will go some way towards addressing this issue, we are concerned about the wider implications for employers. "It's important to note that where in the UK an employer is based has no bearing on whether an employee pays the Scottish rate of income tax. It won't be the employer's responsibility to consider whether an employee is entitled to an S prefix in their tax code and their only official role will be to operate the Scottish Rate of Income Tax where it applies. However, there will nevertheless be important administrative burdens placed on employers. All employers with Scottish resident employees – or even a single worker living in Scotland – will still need to be set up to deal with the new regime and have payroll software which can cope with the new codes. "It's also likely that employers will have to respond to queries from their staff, and deal with the inevitable teething difficulties that the introduction of the new rate will bring – particularly in the event that the Scottish Government decides to raise or lower the rate."

I think you can love a person too much. You put someone up on a pedestal, and all of a sudden, from that perspective, you notice what's wrong - a hair out of place, a run in a stocking, a broken bone. You spend all your time and energy making it right, and all the while, you are falling apart yourself. You don't even realize what you look like, how far you've deteriorated, because you only have eyes for someone else.

The Feasibility of Implementing an Online Data Base Search Service in the New Jersey Library Network. Phase II: Patterns of Service in Periodical Information Requests in the Area Libraries of New Jersey.
Moll, Joy K.
This study of periodical interlibrary loan in New Jersey focuses on access to and sharing of periodical information in the state-wide library networks and investigates the feasibility of providing online search services for such information. The three part study began with a survey of the library literature dealing with networking and an examination of the library network plans of 13 states including New Jersey. A chart comparing aspects of nine state plans and a summary and evaluation of individual state plans are included. The second part of the study involved data gathering in ten libraries in the New Brunswick area for the availability of periodicals and for periodical article interlibrary loan statistics for 1976. Percentages of interlibrary loan requests for periodical articles were examined for local public libraries, academic libraries, and two area libraries. Conclusions and recommendations from the literature search and data gathering, which are presented in the third part of the study, indicate a cost-benefit analysis of online service in area libraries, along with the collection of more complete and accurate management information for information service from periodicals. Appendices include the interview guide, photoduplication request form, and the Phase I study. (Author/CWM)

Why Choose Dr. Ivan
Cosmetic Dentist in Chicago
Why should you choose Dr. Ivan for your cosmetic dentistry needs?
In a city the size of Chicago, there are many options for cosmetic dentistry. It is easy to think your best choice is the one offering the cheapest rates. Unfortunately, this mindset can often end in regret. To make the right choice for your cosmetic dentistry needs, there are several factors you should consider:
How good is the dentist?
First and foremost, you want a cosmetic dentist who has accumulated education and experience specifically in cosmetic dentistry. If they have studied beyond the bounds of cosmetic dentistry, the dentist may have even more to offer.
Dr. Ivan is one of the country's top experts in cosmetic dentistry, as well as an acknowledged leader in neuromuscular and sleep medicine. With nearly 5000 of education beyond his Doctorate of Dental Surgery, Dr. Ivan is more highly trained than 90% of the dentists in the United States today. Add more than 30 years of experience in his field and the frequency with which he is sought for training others, and Dr. Ivan is the clear choice for ensuring your cosmetic dentistry is the best that money can buy.
What all does the practice have to offer?
Another area to consider is what services the cosmetic dental practice offers. Will you be referred to an outside specialist for some of the treatments you need? Will you have to have multiple consultations in different offices before treatment can even begin?
Your time is valuable to Dr. Ivan. That's why he has assembled a team of expert specialists who handle a wide variety of cosmetic dentistry services under one roof. At our practice, we can handle your orthodontic, periodontic, and cosmetic dentistry needs with unparalleled cooperation, often consulting within a single visit.
What kind of value will I receive?
This is a key question in choosing your cosmetic dentist. Value is a much more important consideration than cost. When you choose a service that offers the lowest cost, you often find the value is much lower as well.
Many dentists try to cater to this cost over value mindset by minimizing their services to fit as closely within dental insurance as possible. This generally leads to 5 minute exams to check for caries (cavities), checkups no more than twice yearly, and treating only as much as the insurance will cover, spacing treatments out over so long a period that preventable decay or infections may spread to other teeth.
Dr. Ivan has ensured that our rates are competitive. Dental insurance often does not cover all the treatments you need or desire to make your smile as healthy and beautiful as it should be. Our team is skilled in maximizing your dental benefits and we offer flexible scheduling and payment options to help ensure affordability.
Even more, Dr. Ivan maximizes the value of your investment. Our basic exam looks for much more than caries. Every exam reviews your jaw, posture, head, and neck for symmetry, soreness, and function. We do panoramic x-rays for a complete view of your tracheal airway, nasal septum, and teeth, and check for blockages, decay, or other issues. Our doctors check for headache, bruxism (grinding), and dental hygiene. We will ask about your sleep and how you feel about your smile. We ask for your questions, concerns, and goals. We provide a truly personalized care experience and ensure you receive the highest value for your investment in your appearance and your health.
With competitive rates, higher value, more services under one roof, and a doctor with unparalleled expertise in cosmetic dentistry, Dr. Ivan is the clear choice for your cosmetic dentistry needs.

Oh, Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree — why do you cost $1,000?
That's the price one Christmas tree vendor in Greenwich Village, Heather Neville, is charging for her tallest tree, a rare white fir.
"They are not a traditional Christmas tree, so they are harder to get," she told the Post about the white fir. "Not many farmers grow them. To find a good one is difficult." Neville is charging $77-a-foot for the 13-foot tree, which brings the price to $750, plus an additional $250 for delivery, installation and a generous Christmas tip.
Though this particular pricey tree has not yet sold (that we know of), Neville told the Post that someone did buy a $500, 13-foot Nordmann fir tree from her just a few days ago.
Unless these Christmas trees are magic and never shed needles all over the house, we tend to agree with a Con Ed worker, who told the Post — rather eloquently — that "She's catering to rich people or she is just after the money… A tree is a tree, and there is no difference." Amen to that. [NYP]

Total Fat Extraction of Hot Dogs and Potted Meat
The extraction of fat from food is crucial in the food industry for product formulation and because food labels must report both saturated and unsaturated fat content. Furthermore, educated consumers want to know what is in their food and pay particular attention to the fat content. In an industry with lots of quality control and that is increasingly becoming more consumer driven, time becomes a critical factor. Food manufacturers are burdened with additional testing before product release, making speed of analysis a critical factor. In this application note, EDGE ®, with its patent pending Q-Cup Technology™, can extract total fat from hot dogs and potted meat in less than 5 minutes.
Total fat extraction can be a challenge due to the potential of the fat being entrapped by the matrix. Traditional methods, such as Soxhlet, have been found to be effective; however, they require lots of time, use lots of solvent, and are destructive to the sample. In the demanding food industry there is a huge need to determine fat content quickly and safely.
Beyond the food labeling needs, analyzing for food contaminants is increasingly important. When analyzing for food contaminants there is often a need to further process a sample after fat extraction. Most traditional methods destroy the sample during the fat extraction making further processing impossible. With EDGE, the fat extraction from hot dogs and potted meat is completed in under 5 min. The EDGE process is non-destructive and the extracted sample is ready for further analysis. Included in the run time are the extraction, filtration, cooling, and system washing.

Preheat the broiler. Lay the tomato and onion halves cut-side down on a foil-lined baking sheet; surround with the tomatillos and jalapeno. Broil until charred, about 5 minutes. Let cool slightly.
Meanwhile, cook the chile de arbol in a small dry skillet over medium-high heat, turning, until toasted, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Combine the tomatoes, onion, tomatillos, jalapeno, chile de arbol, chipotle and garlic in a blender and puree until mostly smooth. Add the cilantro and puree until incorporated; season with salt. Chill at least 30 minutes before serving.
"This robust, spicy salsa is best made the day before so the rich flavors come together."

Money in the Bank 2011: Christian and CM Punk Will Walk out with GoldJune 27, 2011
The second edition of the Money in the bank pay-per-view is approaching, and after the stellar show the WWE produced last year, I felt compelled to discuss about the upcoming edition.
The two money-in-the-bank matches themselves should be immensely entertaining and exciting, but what I'm eager to see is the two World Championship matches.
The two matches were confirmed this past week on Raw and Smackdown respectively, and we discovered that CM Punk will be battling John Cena for the WWE championship match, in what is seemingly Punk's last WWE match.
We also learned that Christian will be getting yet another chance to capture the gold that he believes is rightfully his against "The Viper" Randy Orton.
Words cannot describe how anxious I am to see my two favorite wrestlers (Christian and CM Punk) main event a pay-per-view. With both Orton and Cena's reigns relatively short, I figured both would retain their titles.
But after an in-depth analysis, I realized Punk and Christian should and will (well, most-likely will) walk out of the event as world champions.
After CM Punk won a thrilling triple threat match against "the Mexicans aristocratic" Alberto Del Rio and "the master of the 619" Rey Mysterio, CM Punk delivered a tremendous promo where he announced that he will depart from the WWE after the Money in the Bank pay-per-view.
Punk's departure seemed imminent considering that dirt-sheets reported that his contract is indeed expiring, but I was still extremely gutted about one of my favorite wrestlers leaving.
That was my initial reaction, but after putting some thought into the situation, I began to see things a bit differently. Punk announced that his contract will expire on July 18th, the day after the pay per view when in reality his contract will expire in September.
CM Punk had an almost identical situation occur in ROH back in 2005; he dubbed it as "The Summer of Punk," similar to how he's dubbing this situation as "The Summer of Punk." In ROH, Punk won the world title, and instead of leaving, like he promised, he remained in the company for several more weeks, claiming that each week would be his last.
Punk eventually left after a spectacular story-line, but I don't feel that the WWE will completely recreate the story, I feel as if the WWE is working us all. CM Punk is a very cunning and maniacal character, so him claiming that he will leave and staying isn't out of his character's boundaries.
On the Smackdown side of things "Captain Charisma" Christian will be challenging for the World heavyweight championship yet again, his fourth straight title match. The story is amazingly intricate and complex and is probably one of the better WWE storylines of the year, containing great character development and great matches.
Christian finally accomplished his goal at the Extreme Rules pay-per-view two months ago, and only five days after accomplishing his boyhood dream, he lost it to Randy Orton. This story has thrived on this basic foundation and went from being a friendly feud to a bitter rivalry.
The story climaxed at Christian's heel turn, where it seemed as if he would win the World title at the next pay-per-view, which was Capitol Punishment. Christian lost due to the referees incompetence, so Christian will be receiving one last shot.
I believe he will win because his new heel character needs to be legitimized. This epic rivalry needs to go to Summerslam, and the only way that could occur is if Christian wins the World Heavyweight Championship at Money in the bank.
With the capability of all the superstars competing in the two main events, I feel as if both matches will be immensely entertaining, disregarding the outcome. But I feel as if the WWE has a chance to further develop a great story and capitalize on both matches by having the two heels, Christian and CM Punk, winning.

The Bears really do look like they can do it all. In Sunday's 51-20 win at Tennessee, they became the first team in NFL history to have a touchdown pass, touchdown run, interception return touchdown and blocked kick touchdown in the same quarter.
This one was over before you could say "Houston Texans"—the Bears' next opponent—which gave fans time to ponder how this team can get better. Yes, even at 7-1, the Bears have work to do if they're going to make a serious run at the Super Bowl.
