Pt. 12 Examples
In the last post, I talked about how good teachers are often made administrators, but argued that the skills of a good teacher do not necessarily translate to good administrator. In this post, I will provide three specific examples of what I'm talking about. Examples of people that were taken from one role, placed into another, with devestating effects.
1. The Damn Good Teacher
I had one administrator that told me, verbatim during a post-conference, "I was a damn good teacher." For the record, I hear that only from this administrator. Some colleagues disagreed with this person's self-assessment.
(Tangent: What I should have said was, "You should go back to that, because you suck at this." I didn't, though, because I was too worried about playing the game and having a bad evaluation. But then I did have a bad evaluation, from this person, so my worries were all for naught. Especially, because this person used their own children so much that I quite literarally had to ask, "Could you please stop bringing up your own children". This was responded to by this, "I consider every one of these students to be my own children". Ah, no wonder you suck at this.)
This admin perfectly exemplifies the problems of promoting a 'damn good teacher'. This same person was 'damn good' in middle school, yet 'promoted' to a high school administrator. In this person's new role, they were in charge of curricular matters over the entire building, including evaluating teaching, though they'd taught nothing but science and had zero experience in this grade. So when you asked practical advice, there was no answer. I tested this theory. I asked, "What would your recommend?" to a specific piece of 'feedback'. The response: "Talk to the curriculum coach". Read: I have no idea. This was not helpful at all. This person was simply promoted because someone thought this person would be good. They aren't.
But the real irony is that this person is currently doing the district a double disservice. Because by accepting an administrative role, this person removed one "damn good teacher" from the district, while adding another terrible administrator.
The district is at a net-loss.
2. The Next-in-Line Promotion.
Another example of how this happens, is that a school experiences a sudden change in leadership (like the principal leaves) and they must scramble to find a replacement. Rather than due dilligence, they go to the 'next in line'. For example, there was a principal that was hired as a Dean of Students. This person was personable, and talented at this job. No one would doubt this. As a Dean, this person was great, took the job seriously, and had a very positive impact. So, when the principal took a higher position in the district, this person was 'next-in-line' and promoted the head principal. The problem was that this person was a terrible principal. This person had no academic training or teaching experience. So, while this person was good with people and relationships, when it came to managing teachers and curriculum - most of whom had decades of experience and masters degrees, this person was immediately recognized as a failure. This person had zero teaching training, or content training, yet was thrown into creating and evaluating all of it. This person needed help editing evaluations, and didn't know any of the terms that go with academic language. So, while this person was a very good fit for a dean, the 'promotion' hurt everyone involved.
The problem compounds, though, because with the general nature of people, once we get promoted, we almost never say we deserve a demotion.
3. They Know More Than Anyone Else
Another sad example of how this happens is akin to the big fish in a small pond. This usually happens when a place is looking for stability or a new direction, so goes for a short term - rather than a long term - solution. One example is a building was doing some experimental education. An interesting program. One person had more knowledge and training than the rest of the staff, so was considered the expert on a particular type of teaching. Due to this 'expertise', this person was placed as the principal of the entire program. The short term solution may have worked. But this person was then awarded the long term position. But this was awarded not based upon qualifications or experience, but rather because this person knew more than their peers. The problem was that when the program expanded, there were several people that knew more than the Big Fish. Consequently, the long-term suffered due to the short-term. No good.

I recently watched an episode of the Junk Gypsies, featuring their Junk-O-Rama Prom. PROM! The old dance hall venue was decorated with awesomely kitschy junk, and they got to wear thrift store prom gowns, and they had a live band! I AM IN LOVE. So here was my immediate thought process:
- Gee, I want to go to Antiques Week and Junk-O-Rama Prom.
- Now I want to throw a prom party like that.
- then. . . HEY! I HAVE A DAUGHTER TURNING 16!!! TIME TO THROW OUR OWN BIRTHDAY PROM!!!!!
(I promise to tone down the ALL-CAPS and !!!! from here on out. I was just super-excited.) :)
Soooo, we decided to throw my birthday girl, Lizz (aka Monkey 3) a surprise Sweet 16 party, thrown in our 20' x 40' empty barn. This is what we had to work with:
inside the barn
This bright idea gave us just a couple of weeks for planning, crafting, sewing, building and painting -- and only in 2-hour-per-day spurts! My birthday girl works a part-time job, and only worked 3 hours a day, M-F, so that was the only time we could work on our secret plans. That time constraint was the hardest challenge of this crazy plan!
The DECOR. . . .
Since my husband had just started his new job, we were on an extremely tight, paper-thin budget for the party -- about $150 for everything non-food related. We started with materials we already had -- vintage fabrics, linens, scarves, aprons, tablecloths, paint, vintage tchotchkes, and some found items around our property. The trick was to just imagine using them in a new, unique way!
I sewed vintage sheets together, end-to-end, with a wide, loose stitch (so they'd safely and easily come apart after the party) and we used them to soften the ceiling, pinning them to the metal barn rafters with clothes pins. . .
We found an old wooden headboard found in one of our sheds, so we transformed that into a simple bench with some old chair legs for the front legs, scrap wood for the seating, and thrifted vintage fabric for the cover. . .
the bench, behind Monkey 1
An old cast iron bath tub (left by the previous home owners, which I believe was used as a horse watering trough) became a perfect stash for ice cold drinks once the boys scrubbed it clean!
once cleaned and full of ice, soft drinks and mexican sodas,
this was our Littlest Monkey's favorite hangout
A cracked canoe (also left by the previous home owners) became fun seating when filled with funky pillows I made from thrifted still-new-in-the-package pillow forms, stash fabrics, and rolled-up bulky comforters (for filling large cushions). . . .
We also wanted a simple photo booth, so we made one out of an old door, some star-shaped twinkle lights, and vintage sheets. . . .
We also kept our eyes open for free curbside junk, like old fence panels, busted chairs, and even tumbleweeds. . . .
tumbleweed chandelier -- yes, please!
(and this is some of my hard-working last-minute decorating crew! they are awesome!!)
junked fence panels made a perfect rustic sign
(this photo (and the next one) were taken the next morning, while surveying the aftermath)
thrift store frames and b&w photos of the birthday girl decked out this fence panel
the old fence panels also made great dividers,
plus a surface for hanging more photos and junk!
(look! another tumbleweed, filling an empty corner)
Now, THE DRESSES!
$50 for all 5 dresses!
that awkward time where you're waiting for someone -- anyone -- to start the dancing.
The PARTY. . . .
My daughter was completely and TOTALLY surprised! Actually speechless! My mom and sister had purchased a gorgeous dress for her ahead of time, and it fit her perfectly, so she even had a special prom dress to wear! She smiled all night. . . .
And once the kids started dancing. . . .
. . . there was no stopping them 'til around midnight or so. (when all the adults started falling asleep. Hey. It was a long, tiring drive for most of the guests, and a very late night for me the night before! I'm not as young as I once was....) ;)
The most important thing. . . .
While a funky, quirky barn prom isn't for everyone (and probably not for most 16 year-olds!) it was a night perfectly suited to my sweet, artistic, amazing birthday girl, Elizabeth. To remind her of how special she is, and how much we love her. And it was definitely a night we will all treasure.
(Many thanks to my family members that remembered to take photos, and let me use them here, since I forgot to take a single one. Love you!)

Flowering Quince starts blooming in shades of pink, salmon, white, and red in March before the leaves emerge. The flowers continue to shine as the foliage comes in, and then they develop into small, edible fruits with a tart taste. The shrub develops into a low, relaxed shape as it ages with an airy structure.
Flowering Quince is a gorgeous addition to the spring landscape, but it is not for the low-maintenance garden. Root suckers need to be pruned back, leaf fungus can be a problem in wet seasons, and plants should be checked for fire blight from time to time. These shrubs absolutely will not do well with being sheared into a tight, uniform shape. They will quickly rebel with new growth, and the flower display will be reduced and forced into an unnatural growth pattern. Sometimes twigs will have spines at the tip, so be careful. With all these challenges I'm outlining, it may seem like Flowering Quince isn't worth your time. It's true that it has fallen out of fashion in today's landscape, but for those willing to put in the maintenance effort and embrace its natural sprawling habit, it will thrive in many soil types, and it will stun you early every spring with its amazing blossoms. For those interested in edible gardening, it does produce edible fruits, although they are very bitter and are better suited for jams and jellies than raw eating.
Common Name: Flowering Quince
Scientific Name: Chaenomeles species and hybrids
Notable Varieties: Double Take™ Series (later blooms, double flowers), 'Cameo' (apricot double flowers), 'Jet Trail' (white flowers), 'Texas Scarlet' (heavy bloomer, red flowers)
Light: full sun to light shade
Size: common varieties 3'-4' tall and 5'-6' wide
Soil: tolerant of dry soils, clay, and most other conditions
Blooms: 1"-1.5" blooms of pink, red, salmon, or white densely cover branches in early spring
Other Notes: can develop leaf fungus in rainy years; can be susceptible to fire blight; develops suckers; produces edible fruit; prune immediately after flowering to avoid disrupting the next year's flowers, although this will reduce fruiting

Hello guys! I hope you're all having a great weekend? Our weekend ended up being busy, but enjoyable. I don't mind a busy weekend as long as a more quite one follows at some point! In any case, I'm now chilling with a cup of coffee and cookies that I brought with me from Greece, and writing to you. Have you checked out the MAC Work It Out collection at all? It launched a few days ago and it's packed with vibrancy and colour for Spring 2017! The mascaras were of particular interest to me, as I love to wear coloured mascara in the summer, when the sun is out. Here are my picks and thoughts on them.
The MAC Work It Out collection consists of bright and colourful lipsticks, eye pencils, mascaras and cheek products. They all share the same happy vibe and intention to send away any greyness around us. It's not your usual spring collection, with pastels and soft flowery colours.
Thinking about it, this year has been quite different for most brands anyway, hasn't it? Chanel went bronze with dark, matte lips (reviewed here and here). Nars brought us bright colour; less full on than MAC, but certainly bright (reviewed here). Bobbi Brown is all coral, orange and pink (reviewed here)! Dior and Lancome chose a more expected route, I would say, introducing pastels and rosy hues for this Spring, but innovating elsewhere (e.g. the product formula and type). Interesting trends in make-up for sure.
Sticking to the MAC Work It Out collection, I decided to skip the lipsticks, eyeliners and all cheek products and focus on the mascaras. Somehow, not everything from this collection was calling my name. I was quite tempted by the Crystal Glaze glosses for cheeks, but, when I tried them on, they totally disappeared on mine. They also felt quite rich and sticky, so I avoided them in case they break me out. If you try these out and you think they're great, please let me know. However, the mascaras… different story! I wanted to devour the stand where they had them ;)! You can find any colour you can possibly want, from conservative brown to bright white and yellow! Hell, yeah!
Even the packaging is so playful! Sigh… I'm so ready for playful colour and warm walks by the sea and cocktails and all… and here it's raining! Anyway, not diverging! I really like the packaging in this collection. The mascaras I picked were the following ones:
Gym Dandy – a deep blue, great for brown eyes and medium to deep skin tones, I'd say
Squat It, Sugar – a sweet brown, more ordinary but cannot say no to brown and sugar!
Well-Toned – a bright plum, again I say great for brown eyes
ABS of Steel – a bright pink, the boldest option of the three and a real pop of colour on your lashes
Here are the swatches for these four mascaras:
As you can see, I didn't go wild with the colours I picked. I could have gone for yellow, or even red! I do love me a pop of colour on the lids, especially with a bit of mascara or liner, but I don't tend to go for the extreme colours. Saying that, this pink I got, is quite full on and I like it. I wear coloured mascaras in two ways: 1) Tips of my upper lashes 2) All over the lower lashes. And I combine colours as I like. Hence, I got the brown In Extreme Dimension, which I know is more of an ordinary colour, but I thought I could combine it with other colours nicely; plus, I didn't have a brown mascara anyway. I did so yesterday and here are the results:
Luckily, we had a little bit of sun in the afternoon, so you can hopefully see the colour. I have Squat It, Sugar on my upper lashes and Well-Toned in my lower lashes towards the outer corner of the eye. I added ABS of Steel in my lower lashes towards my inner corner, for a pop of colour. These look lovely in the sun, but less intense indoors (unless light hits your eyes directly). Still, beautiful, if you like that sort of look.
I kept the rest of the eye simple with a bit of blue liner on my top lash line. Seeing as the top lash line was less intense than the lower one, it could take a bit more colour. This worked great combined with bronzy cheeks and a red lip. Here's the full look:
I love the foundation I wore with this look – so natural. It's one from Shiseido, I'm really liking combining it with lighter foundations or wearing it on its own. Beautiful and long-lasting. I'm planning a review on this, so won't say more for now, but so far so good! The lipstick is also a surprise :).
At this stage, I'd like to add a few words about the actual In Extreme Dimension Mascara by MAC, colourful or not. You may know that my Holy Grail mascara, is the Marc Jacobs Velvet Noir. However, the mascara I wore on my wedding day (yes, I did my own make-up) was the In Extreme Dimension by MAC in Intense Black (Waterproof). I didn't want to wear false lashes for my wedding, as I never wear them in real life. After MANY trials with every single mascara on the planet, I decided to go with this one as it gave me such intense, separated lashes that people were thinking I had falses on. It gave me volume, separation, intensity and it's super long lasting, more than Marc's mascara. For my wedding, longevity mattered. In Extreme Dimension lasts forever on me and as such, it won the battle over Marc Jacobs.
I almost forgot! If there is something else you should check out from this collection is the Coconut Fix+. CO-CO-NUT. I want to eat it, or better drink it – seriously yummy! And it does everything Fix+ does normally. Check it out, it's aaaaamazing! They also have rose and lavender scents, if you prefer florals.
The In Extreme Dimension Mascaras from the Work It Out collection are limited edition and selling fast here in the UK! Bear in mind, they're not waterproof! So, any plans of wearing at the beach would only be ok, if you're not planning to swim. They trade for £15.50, which is some ££ less than the black one in the permanent collection because they're coloured, so it's a win! You can find them on MAC's website. Also, please check out Karen's post, for a bolder look, that I personally can't pull off in the city, but she's totally rocking it and I'm loving it on her! That's another option you have with these.
I hope you enjoyed this post. If you follow me on Instagram, you will have seen I'm trying out various things, so planning a few posts of new releases next week and also a couple of posts you have asked for will be on their way soon! Thanks for reading my lovelies and I hope you have a colourful Sunday and a beautiful start to your week!

Jewish History following the destruction of the Second Temple by Rome has been represented as a history of wandering and homelessness, in which place could not matter because the sacred Jewish place had been left behind. Besides, as Abraham Joshua Heschel argued, Jews build sanctuaries in time, not in space. However, building on his new book Rabbinic Judaism: Space and Place, Dr. Kraemer argues that space and place remained central to Judaism even during its exile. He demonstrates that the "homes" of Judaism were central to Jewish practice throughout the centuries, even before Zionism returned the focus of Judaism to its ancient home.

It's now been over 100 years since Louis D. Brandeis was confirmed as an Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, and three-quarters of a century since his death. Yet his ideas and achievements continue to influence our lives today. His activities as a lawyer, a reformer, and a Zionist are as relevant today as they were in his lifetime, and his jurisprudence - especially in the areas of free speech and privacy - is still cited in contemporary court decisions. In his talk, Dr. Urofsky looks briefly at Brandeis's career in law, reform, and Zionism, and devotes the bulk of his lecture to the continuing importance of Justice Brandeis's constitutional ideas.

Sabres' Dahlin enjoyed his first NHL road trip
The young defenseman scored his first NHL goal in Arizona
Buffalo, NY (WGR 550) - The Sabres finally returned home for practice after a five-game western road trip. The trip was the first ever for Rasmus Dahlin and he celebrated by scoring his first NHL goal. The young defenseman said, "I was really not expecting that type of goal, but it was fun when it went in."
When the goal was scored in Arizona, it was 4 a.m. in Sweden. Dahlin said despite it being the middle of the night, his family saw the goal, "My brother saw it and I think my parents saw it too, but everybody else, it was the morning after."
The trip was a first for Dahlin and one he'll never forget, "It was long, it was really fun to experience new cities." Dahlin had been to Las Vegas and Los Angeles as a young child and said he really didn't remember much, but this time, the trip to Vegas was his favorite spot, "Vegas of course, that was a pretty cool city. They have everything like all the stores, the cool hotels and great arena, so it was great."
There are a lot of new players on this team, so this was the first chance they got to get to know each other. Dahlin said, "It was awesome, I got to know the guys more. We were great on the ice too, so it was all positive.
"I got to know them very good now, we're building a team and I really feel it."
Every season, the veterans hold a rookie dinner on the road where they buy the most expensive things on the menu and the rookies like Dahlin, Casey Mittelstadt, Linus Ullmark and Tage Thompson have to pay for it. Dahlin said he had a great time with his teammates, "It was good and a lot of fun. I got to know all the guys even better that night so it was all good." When I asked Dahlin how expensive it was he laughed and said, "It was fun, its fine."
Zach Bogosian was very noticeable on this trip. It was more than the three fights he got in. Bogosian played fast, he leads the team with 15 blocked shots, he had a goal and an assist and he was plus-three. Dahlin said he's learned a lot from Bogosian, "He's a vet so he knows how to play this game. He's learned me a lot and it's good to see some fights from him too. I like that he can fight and play."
Dahlin has played four games in Buffalo and five games on the road. He said as far as his game goes, it doesn't change anything.
In Los Angeles, the Sabres played at 12:30 p.m. and then the basketball floor went down and LeBron James made his home debut with the Lakers. Dahlin stayed and took in his first NBA game. He said, "It was really fun, something new and it was awesome."
During the game with the Rockets, there was a brawl involving Brandon Ingram, Rajon Rondo and Chris Paul. Dahlin is used to hockey fights and said, "That was cool, that really doesn't happen much, right? Compared to fights on the ice, it was just one punch so it wasn't a really good fight, but I don't think basketball is like that."
Phil Housley had Matt Ellis and his staff put the team through a skills practice on Tuesday. Housley said Ellis is a very good coach and teacher and thought his players got a lot out of it, "I wanted Matt Ellis and his crew to unlock the bodies, do a little skill session coming back from that road trip. It was a good time in our schedule that they could work on some skill.
"It's the movement, the footwork and the touches with the puck and just get the guys coming to practice and give them a different light and a different angle."
Housley thinks that Ellis is a good communicator and very knowledgeable about the game. Housley agreed that Ellis has a future as a coach in the AHL or NHL.
Nate Beaulieu returned to practice after taking a shot flush on the elbow. He said he's close to 100-percent.

I immediately fell in love with the colors on this dress when I saw it, but I hesitated to buy it since it was covered in stains. I'm pretty confident in my stain-removing abilities when it comes to polyester (hot water + OxiClean = miracles). The problem was that this isn't polyester and I also wasn't 100% sure what the fabric content was. Cotton, some kind of cotton blend, something else entirely? Anyway, the price was low enough that I said 'fuck it' and gave it a go.
I'm glad I did because it cleaned up with almost no effort! OxiClean saved the day without making those amazing bright colors run! (*insert Billy Mays here*)
The next issue was the length. The hem hit right across my knees in the most awkward and unflattering way. Another easy fix! I did a quick snip and hem and made it into a cute mini. I was already in love with the rest of the dress (those sleeves!), so all-in-all this was a pretty simple alteration.
I actually styled it a few ways before landing on this look - which is by far my favorite. I recently found this vintage felt hat for $1 (it was dirty and beat up) and did my first hat restoration project ever. It's nice to be able to show it off! The boots were a DIY project I decided to try. They started out as thrifted black boots and I spray painted them silver. I just haven't been able to find the perfect pair of silver boots, so I took matters into my own hands. So many projects in one outfit!

Sleeping Rough For Australia's Homeless
Posted by Lee Seymour
Three Xref executives can confirm that sleeping rough is tough - and they only had to do it for one night.
Those that keep an eye on our LinkedIn updates will have seen that, on the evening of Thursday 22, the Xref CEO, CTO and CFO all spent a night beneath the stars with a "who's who" list of other Australian executives, as part of the Vinnies CEO sleepout series.
We're delighted to say they survived and wanted to take the opportunity to thank everyone who showed their support with either good luck messages or donations.
So far they're raised more than $5,000 and the figure continues to rise! Take a look at some snaps from the night below and, if you feel inspired to donate, you've still got time to head over to the Xref team page and show your support.
"Homelessness is a difficult issue to appreciate and few of us know what we can do to help - this event provides a perfect opportunity for the Australian business community to do its part. It was only one night but it really brought to life the seriousness of the issue and it's fantastic to see so much money raised."
Executive Director / CTO Tim Griffiths
"The CEO sleepout is a truly unique event that is a must for all Australian executives. Like many of those taking part, the three of us arrived at the stadium after a busy day of meetings, conference commitments and the usual day-to-day business challenges - the rapid change of scenery brought an alarming sense of perspective. We're so grateful for all the support we've received and will definitely be doing our bit again in the future."
Executive Director / CEO Lee-Martin Seymour
"I'm blown away by the number and value of donations we've received, it makes me very proud to have taken part and delighted we were able to do our bit to help Vinnies and the homeless across Australia. The more we can do to raise awareness of the issue, the better."
CFO / James Solomons

Advice For How To Reduce And Eliminate Skincare Problems
Skin is what people notice first about you, particularly the skin on your face. Taking good care of your complexion is just about the smartest contribution to healthy, beautiful skin you can make. Read the tips that follow so that you're sure to have great skin that you take good care of.
Make masks at home for glowing skin. Take raw almonds, some olive oil and milk milk, then mix them into a paste. Add some ground orange peel to the mix. Put it on your face, then let it set for approximately 15 minutes. Gently wash your face and then rub an ice cube on your face.
Apple cider vinegar is very beneficial for the treatment of pimples. This treatment helps relieve dryness and restores moisture. However, this should be a daytime treatment only, because vinegar can be very damaging to bedding, and it also smells!
It's easy to forget that your skin is part of your being. Also, skin is considered the largest organ in your body. The condition of your skin can also be an indicator of the condition of the rest of your body. By caring for yourself, you will have beautiful skin.
Remember to give you lips protection too. The winter air can dry out your lips. If lip balms or other moisturizers aren't applied to your lips at this time, they may dry out and crack, which can lead to pain that is very unpleasant.
Vitamin H can really help your skin. It makes your skin appear much more vibrant and luminous. Also, vitamin H aids in creating smoother, more radiant skin. While it may be hard to believe, using vitamins are a great way to help your skin maintain its health.
The nutrition you get from your diet affects every organ of your body, including your skin. For healthy, glowing skin, it is important that you consume all the necessary nutrients. It is especially important to have good digestion because your skin's condition is linked to it. A good way to enhance your digestive processes is to include more fiber in your diet. Incorporate fiber in your diet for healthy skin.
If your skin is oily, use a foundation that contains no oil or choose a powdered foundation. These foundations soak up excess oils and leave skin with a smooth finish. With oily skin, watch using liquid foundations, which can make your skin even more oily.
If you don't want to switch foundations in the summer, mix some sunscreen into the liquid version of your favorite product. Buying a foundation with sun protection is great, but your preferred product might not give you the option. If your foundation doesn't offer sun protection, or the protection is inadequate, mix your own. Simply place a few drops of the sunscreen into the foundation, mix thoroughly, and apply.
Proper skin care is vital. As long as you use the advice here, you'll find your skin looks better. The tips discussed in this article will help you find the best way to to take care of your skin.

What Causes Vein Disease?
Vein disease may be caused by genetics (family history), lifestyle or a combination of the two. Some of the risk factors that increase the likelihood you might be diagnosed with vein disease include:
- Genetics: If your parents had varicose veins, you are more likely to develop them as well. Age – Vein disease prevalence increases with age. Vein disease is more common in adults between the ages of 30 and 70 years.
- Gender: More than 75% of patients with varicose veins are women, due to the hormone changes they experience during pregnancy and other times of their life.
- Pregnancy: The more pregnancies you have, the higher your risk for developing vein disease.
- Obesity: Additional body weight puts strain on the lower extremities, which makes it more difficult for blood to return to the heart.
- Prolonged Standing or Sitting: These positions can put strain on the lower extremities and inhibit healthy blood flow when they are maintained for long periods of time.
- Lack of Exercise: Muscle contraction, which is particularly strong during physical activity, plays a key role in healthy blood flow from the legs back to the heart.
- Other possible causes of vein disease: History of blood clot formation in the legs. Trauma or illness that affects blood flow and increases pressure in the veins. Previous surgeries that could increase risk of blood clot formation. Certain medications that affect healthy blood flow.
If you have one or more risk factors listed and develop symptoms of vein disease, you should have your condition evaluated by a vein specialist. We handle all consultations and examinations to ensure an accurate and thorough assessment of your vein condition.

Princeton High School graduates Winona Guo and Priya Vulchi have been spending their gap year traveling across the United States, learning and listening to stories about race for a new book they are working on that will be released next year.
In the 10th grade, the pair co-founded an organization called CHOOSE to help people find tools to talk about race and work for systemic change. They also published a racial literacy textbook and toolkit for educators called "The Classroom Index" that has received numerous awards, including Princeton University's Prize in Race Relations and Not in Our Town's Unity Award.
Guo and Vulchi have been featured in Teen Vogue, the Philadelphia Inquirer, and the Huffington Post. In their TED talk last November at TED Women in New Orleans, they spoke about effective ways for people to become racially literate. The talk was just posted online by TED late Monday morning and has already been viewed more than 60,000 times.

-All Virginia regions saw increased tourism revenue while Virginia reached $23 billion-
Data released by the U.S. Travel Association reveals that Norfolk posted an increase in tourism revenue last year. Tourism revenue for Norfolk reached $764,712,066, a 2.7 percent change over 2014. Local tourism-supported jobs totaled 7,137 while local tourism-related taxes were $23,918,711.
"Tourism was again an important contributor to Norfolk's economy in 2015. The increase is largely attributed to VisitNorfolk's notable efforts in promoting the city as a premier destination for both leisure and business travel," said VisitNorfolk president & CEO Anthony J. DiFilippo
All data was received by the Virginia Tourism Corporation (VTC) from U.S. Travel Association and is based on domestic visitor spending (travelers from within the United States) from trips taken 50 miles or more away from home.
"Having a strong tourism industry is vital to job creation and economic growth in Virginia," said Governor McAuliffe. "Travelers are coming to Virginia from across the country and the globe to experience our world-class restaurants, wineries, craft breweries, music festivals, oyster farms, beaches, mountains, and more. Our rich history, scenic beauty, vibrant arts, and burgeoning culinary scene make Virginia a destination like none other."

Of Ghosts and Unicorns and Quite a Few Metaphors
"I'm going to dress up as a unicorn this Halloween!" my youngest child tells me, glitter-eyed. I don't think this is really in the spirit of Samhain, the ancient Celtic festival of the liminal, when ghosts and spirits walk among us. But it's not as bad as the year she wanted to go as Twilight Sparkle.
"A My Little Pony?" my mind screamed in horror. My mouth stayed closed, though. I've learned the hard way that my children are not interested in my opinions about Hasbro products.
But, as a devoted horror movie fan, I very much wanted to draw a line there. I like drawing lines; it makes me feel as if I'm parenting actively. The (many, many) people who give parenting advice like them, too. "Set firm boundaries," they're always saying. "They make life easier, and children feel more secure."
The thing is, though, that so many of those lines are actually quite arbitrary, and they keep needing to be redrawn. Rules change as children get older, or circumstances shift, or new information comes to light. For example: Imagine that one night you find yourself sitting at the dinner table, short on patience and long on the vegetable soup that your youngest won't even taste. She's eaten and loved it a hundred times before, but tonight it "looks funny."
You restrain yourself from mentioning that you once saw her take a far funnier-looking sweet out of her shoe, pick off the sock-fluff and pop it into her mouth. No. You, calmly and firmly, establish the boundaries; you draw the line in the sand. You point to the piece of buttered toast clutched in her fist.
"If you don't take that toast and dip it in that soup and eat it – and swallow it do not spit it on the table – then there will be no dessert for you."
So far, so good. But then the other child casually mentions that that piece of toast has just been retrieved from under the table, where the cat was chewing on it.
Suddenly you're waving your arms around, sand is flying everywhere, and the line is lost. "No!" you shout, visions of toxoplasmosis dancing in your head, "Don't put that toast in your mouth!"
The younger child, whose life-soundtrack could have been written by Rage Against the Machine, is understandably annoyed. How can she not do what you tell her, when what you're telling her to do now is the exact opposite of what you told her to do two minutes ago? It's difficult to rebel effectively under these circumstances.
So…lines, boundaries. Pfft. Parenting itself is a liminal state, if you ask me. Things keep shifting and changing shape all the time. There have been moments – of rotavirus and broken washing machines, of reflux, of tantrums, of being so tired – when I've said, "That's it. I cannot cope with one more difficult thing." That line in the sand, again. But then one more difficult thing happened, and I coped.
Or I pegged out my boundaries, clearly: everyone has her own place to sleep and needs to fall asleep in that place and stay in it. I don't know how many hours I've spent putting little girls back to bed after nightmares, trips to the toilet, or visits to my bedside at 2 a.m. to stare at me creepily until I wake up. Night after night, over and over, I have walked them back to their rooms, tucked them in, and then tried to fall asleep again myself. Until one brain-fogged night I gave up, and let one into the bed with me. She immediately kicked her father in the ribs, he decamped to the spare room … and everyone slept! Right through to morning! And we kept doing that until, about six months later, everyone miraculously started sleeping soundly in their own beds.
The thing about boundaries is, they keep you safe, and they give your life structure, but too-firm boundaries make it hard to grow. And…look, here's another metaphor! You absolutely need a flight plan, but if you can't course-correct, you're going to crash.
So, at this time of the liminal, I'd like to put in a good word for blurry boundaries, for the shadows that soften hard lines, for making exceptions and parenting porously, and for all the little unicorns that will brighten the ghostly streets this Halloween, shedding glitter as they go.

Cosmetic Surgery FAQs
Dr. James E. White, M.D., F.A.C.S. is a board certified surgeon at Advanced Surgical Concepts in Chattanooga, TN. In this series of articles, Dr. White offers insider knowledge about cosmetic surgery and talks about the latest high-tech procedures that can help men and women look better and feel younger.
What is the difference in a cosmetic surgeon and a plastic surgeon?
Although many people use the term "cosmetic surgeon" and "plastic surgeon" synonymously , a cosmetic surgeon's training varies from a plastic surgeon's. When considering a major cosmetic procedure such as a face lift, breast enhancement, blepharoplasty or liposuction, it is vital for the patient to distinguish a plastic surgeon's credentials from a cosmetic surgeon's as they are not created equally.
How Does Adding Volume to the Face Help People Look Younger?
In the past five years, new research has shown that facial volume is actually more important when looking to achieve younger-looking skin than tightness. Because of this, a number of volume-enhancing procedures have been developed.
What Is the Mini Face Lift Procedure?
A Mini Face Lift is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that offers many of the benefits of a traditional face lift without all of the drawbacks. Patients can achieve excellent results without having to go under general anesthesia, which saves money and lessens post-op downtime.
How to Get Rid of Frown Lines
The best way to get rid of frown lines is with an injection of Botox. Within minutes, women can get rid of frown lines.
Is Botox Safe for Women Who Are Pregnant or Breastfeeding?
Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not use Botox. When used under the manufacturer's guidelines, Botox is an extremely safe product for men and women of all ages, but pregnant women are advised to avoid it nonetheless.
Where Does the Hair Used in a Hair Transplant Come From?
The hair that a surgeon uses in a hair transplant procedure can come from anywhere else on the head, although it commonly comes from the area near the neck for most female and male patients.
What are spider veins?
Spider veins are similar to varicose veins, but they are smaller. The medical term for spider veins is telangiectasias. Spider veins can be found on the legs and face. They may look like short, fine lines.Spider veins are most common in the ankles, feet and thighs. Spider veins tend to appear red or blue and are closer to the surface of the skin than varicose veins.
How are spider veins treated?
Spider veins are most commonly treated with a procedure known as Slecrotherapy.
What are varicose veins?
Varicose veins can occur in men or women. These bulging veins, raised above the surface of the skin, can be caused by poor circulation. More commonly found in the legs or thighs, varicose veins can develop anywhere in the body. The veins often appear to be dark purple, blue or flesh colored.
How are varicose veins treated?
Mild varicose veins often do not need treatment. However, some people may choose treatment for cosmetic reasons or because the condition causes uncomfortable symptoms. Removing or treating varicose veins does not cause circulation problems because veins can re-route themselves around a blockage.
What is liposuction?
Unlike dieting, liposuction permanently removes adipocytes (fat cells) and the lipid (fat)that fills the fat cells. Liposuction puts the treated area of your body back in sync with the rest of you so that even if you again gain weight it will be more evenly distributed because the excess cells in your trouble area are gone for good.

Continuing this week's theme of clean eating food for energy and fullness, I made up this lunch plate today with a combo of quinoa, brown rice, some chopped veggies, a few sesame seed rice crackers and a big dollop of hummus. Light but satisfying, this is the sort of food that puts enough fuel in my tank to sustain me through the afternoon and into the evening.
Grains like quinoa are really great to eat for a variety of nutrition reasons such as:
- Having fiber which is a form of carbohydrate that can help lower your risk for heart disease.
- Being a low-fat food, it's also a great protein source. Quinoa is a complete protein — meaning it contains all of the essential amino acids your body needs, making it an excellent choice for vegetarians.

Meet the New Farm, Same as the Old Farm? Occupy Seizes Berkeley's "Gill Tract"
Are you ready for the most ridiculous and pointless Occupation ever?
Last week, on Earth Day, the Occupy movement illegally took over an entire farm and transformed it into...a farm!
So proud are they of this revolutionary act that they showed off the farm to the media yesterday, so naturally I had to check it out.
The farm they seized was not a working farm per se, but rather a "research farm" for the University of California, near its Berkeley campus. The only difference between the way the farm used to be (prior to a week ago) and the way it is now is that the Occupiers have transformed what was essentially a well-maintained and important open-air laboratory into a disheveled and ultimately purposeless pretend-farm for trustafarian dropouts.
The struggle over the farm is not just a struggle over land; it is a Battle of Narratives. The "Occupy the Farm" group (loosely affiliated with Occupy Cal and Occupy Oakland, but a new separate group) has already put up a slick web site called "Take Back the Tract" which explains the "philosophy" justifying their behavior:
We are reclaiming this land to grow healthy food to meet the needs of local communities. We envision a future of food sovereignty, in which our East Bay communities make use of available land - occupying it where necessary - for sustainable agriculture to meet local needs.
...followed by a raft of conspiracy theories involving Whole Foods and senior centers and baseball fields.
The university, on the other hand, has fired back with a devastating press release of its own, dismantling Occupy's ludicrous theories and moral gymnastics:
• The agricultural fields on the Gill Tract that are now being occupied are not the site of a proposed assisted living center for senior citizens and a grocery store. The proposed development parcel is to the south, straddling the intersection of Monroe Street and San Pablo Avenue, and has not been farmed since WWII.
• The existing agricultural fields on the Gill Tract are currently, and for the foreseeable future, being used as an open-air laboratory by the students and faculty of our College of Natural Resources for agricultural research. Their work encompasses basic plant biology, alternative cropping systems, plant-insect interactions and tree pests and pathogens. These endeavors are part of the larger quest to provide a hungry planet with more abundant food, and will be impeded if the protest continues. And, they are categorically not growing genetically modified crops. We have an obligation to support their education and research, and an obligation to the American taxpayers who are funding these federally funded projects.
• The university has been actively participating in a collaborative, five-year long community engagement process about our proposed development project with hundreds of hours of meetings, hearings and dialogue. We have a great deal of respect for all those who have been involved and regret that "Occupy the Farm" appears to have little regard for the process or the people who have participated in it.
• We take issue with the protesters' approach to property rights. By their logic they should be able to seize what they want if, in their minds, they have a better idea of how to use it.
To clarify matters for those not familiar with the area:
The University of California has its main campus in the center of Berkeley, but that's not the only property it owns. Scattered around the East Bay, the university also owns several other large tracts of land, used for housing, office buildings, research facilities, storage, and so forth. One of these properties, known colloquially as "Albany Village" because it's in the adjacent small town of Albany, is home to a housing complex for students who are married (and/or who have children) which is called "University Village"; and nearby on the same property is an experimental farm technically known as the "Agricultural Research Fields" but more commonly referred to simply as "the Gill Tract," named after the Gill family which farmed the land originally.
The Gill Tract, about the size of a city block, is used by researchers and graduate students in UC's College of Natural Resources to study biology, crop yields, plant diseases and genetics — often with an eye toward ecologically friendly, sustainable and organic practices.
Here's one of the few articles in the mainstream media about Occupy the Farm, giving the basic facts and also pointing out that the biological researchers need access to the land immediately for their experiments because of the spring planting season.
The scientists themselves are for the most part royally pissed off at the Occupiers and some may have years of work ruined by the Occupiers' juvenile prank.
Now that you know the whole story, let's look around the Gill Tract today, shall we?
COMPOST CAPITALISM! In this context, is "Compost" a verb, or an adjectival noun? Are we supposed to compost capitalism, i.e. throw it on the compost heap; or is Occupy engaging in the practice of compost capitalism, a form of free trade based on the compost standard? Only your Marxist knows for sure.
Working in the hot sun. The thrill of breaking into gated property and "liberating" land is exciting; the tedium of then spending endless hours over the next year in the blistering heat, in order to legitimize your actions and prove you're not just jacking everyone around — not so fun.
Prediction: Very few, if any, of these "crops" will ever be harvested, or even grow to maturity.
Before the Occupation, the Gill Tract was an agricultural research farm where twenty-somethings getting their PhDs would work the fields to grow crops, as they researched biology or how to raise better, healthier plants. But now, after this incredible revolution by Occupy, the Gill Tract has been utterly transformed into a farm where twenty-somethings work the fields to grow crops. The only difference is that before, the farm served a scientific function to improve society, and was managed by experts and hard-working students doing meaningful research; but now, it's run by a bunch of smug amateurs and dropouts who plant store-bought seedlings in the middle of what once was a controlled research environment. Meet the new farm — same as the old farm, except worse.
Just as in collective farms in Russia and China, the first order of business at the occupied farm was to set up an open-air lecture space so the "workers" (necessarily with sarcastic quote marks in this case) can receive their daily political instruction.
Only a handful of rows, right near the entrance, were planted all along their length, from end to end. Soon enough, those rows gave way to other rows with just a few plants near the walkway, seemingly just for show, while the rest of the row went unused.
Many rows' plantings were pretty pitiful, or perhaps just symbolic; in this case, for instance, a single full-grown leek was stuck in the ground at the start of one row, to simulate the concept of "farming leeks."
The vast majority of the tract had been Roto-tilled but still remained unplanted as of yesterday.
Elsewhere around the acreage here and there were various ill-considered haphazard zones of a few transplanted seedlings. The plant with the label near the center is a young citrus tree, bought at a nursery, and stuck in the soil at this essentially random spot. Since it takes citrus trees several years to mature enough to bear fruit, this sapling will be growing here for quite a long time before it becomes a producing tree. Had Occupy really thought out the location of this tree, for the long-term -- or was it (as I suspect) just some dude who stuck it there without much (or any) foresight; and since he won't be around three years from now to tend it, why should he care that it will likely interfere with other uses for that part of the tract?
Wait, what — "our" lot? Suddenly you're in favor of private property and ownership, now that you've stolen it? How is that lot yours any more than it was the university's before you took it?
Hypocrisy, thy name is Occupy. When society draws boundaries, builds fences, and makes rules, Occupy gets to violate them at will. But once they've seized control, Occupy immediately starts making new rules and new boundaries that everyone else is supposed to honor. Perhaps that's the new Occupy motto: "Rules for thee, but not for me."
Despite several signs in the area declaring that the Gill Tract Occupation was not a "tent city," as detractors had worried, but was instead devoted entirely to farming, in reality a tent...well, let's just call it a "tent eco-village" has sprung up in the fields. This is not a tent city! Who do you trust — me, or your lying eyes?
Some leftist U.C. professors are lecturing today at the farm to show their solidarity with the Occupiers (and to thoughtlessly reveal their antagonism against fellow faculty members whose research at the farm was interrupted/spoiled by the Occupation), including Laura Nader (Ralph Nader's older sister, famous for helping to lead the field of anthropology toward self-critical Political Correctness); Gill Hart, a Gramscian anti-capitalist; and Paul Rabinow, a deconstructionist anthropologist. What do any of these professors know about farming, or plant biology? Nothing. But hey, they know about the significance of what it means to spout off a bunch of revolutionary socialist verbiage while absconding with stuff that isn't yours. And that will make the Occupiers feel ever so snug in their smugness. Group hug!
Because the Gill Tract occupation only began a week or so ago, there was no time to grow plants from seed — not that the Occupiers would have the patience for that anyway — so their version of "farming" means buying* (with daddy's credit card) flats and six-packs of sprouts from local nurseries, and then transplanting them into the ground. Wow! That is some major farming.
( • Or "liberating" or getting donations of pre-grown six-packs. )
In response to the "occupation," the university turned off the water at the Gill Tract. As a result, the "Occupiers" have to truck in giant tanks of water, which they sprinkle from bottles onto the seedlings. Sustainable! Eco!
Out in the field, the Occupiers had placed two scarecrows; this one in particular really emulated the Occupy "style," as it were. Or maybe that was one of the Occupiers, after a really rough night?
Whether made of straw or flesh-and-blood, the scarecrow wore Occupy and Anonymous buttons.
The other wore a hat made of a big funnel. Unfortunately, it resembled a coolie hat, costing the Occupiers -15 points on their colonialist sensitivity rating.
Occupy Law #1: Smiley-faces and peace signs make theft OK.
Amendment to Law #1: Framing your crime in a heart shape transforms it into a "cause."
Occupy Law #2: Everyone — even the dorkiest dorks — instantly becomes cool with the addition of an Anarchy tattoo.
Visit Amy's tent for an individual stress-relaxation "hypnosis" session which she guarantees will have a "happy" ending.
The Occupiers heavily advertised their "Children's Village," unveiled on Saturday so the media could film it. Some parents brought their kids to the festivities.
A man sat alone in the weeds, wearing a shirt that used the word "far" as a verb.
Most of the action was in the sanitary — really, it was very very hygienic, I swear — Occupy Kitchen area, where Occupiers clustered around and ate food produced by agribusiness and corporations.
To justify their theft of publicly owned land, the Occupiers produced this magnificent manifesto explaining the moral underpinnings of their action, and then posted it at the front gate of the farm. It might be a little hard to read at this size, so click on the image to see it in full-size high resolution. Here's a transcription:
Local Ecology
Ecstatic Wonder
This Poster Comes Out of the Gill Tract Occupation
On April 22, 2012, students, activists and neighbors came together to reclaim the last untouched tract of soil in the East Bay. This piece of public land has been (mis)managed by the University of California Regents for private interest for generations. On Earth Day, the land was liberated; transformed into a living, breathing space for the community to know food and stories.
This farm embodies what we envision as an alternative to the profit-drivern educational system. With bolt-cutters, shovels, Roto-tillers and thousands of plants: we reclaim our right to shape our communities, our universities + our minds + bodies.
Love the Land!
x100 feet
This is what the ecstatic wonder of a truly public education looks + feels like.
Isn't that precious? Pin it on the bulletin board next to the turkey-hand tracings and the construction-paper collages.
As always happens with Occupations, the Occupiers spend almost all of their energy on the day-to-day business of occupying, and rarely have much time to actually do whatever it is they claim they're doing at that particular Occupation. Thus, in this case, as I witnessed out in the fields, not much in the way of actual farming has happened yet; as the camp's official volunteer sign-up sheet reveals, nearly 80% of the activities at the "farm" have nothing whatsoever to do with farming, but instead are political and/or household chores. Of the 51 volunteer man-hour time-slots listed, 40 (79%) are non-farm activities ("parking/trash transport," "table crew for workshops," "kitchen," "Porta Pottie cleaning," "trash can monitor," "security (creepwatch)," "MCs," "movie set-up," "childcare/art," "media tent," and "info desk," while only 11 (21%) are farm-related (planting, watering, permaculture, and to be generous "clucking," which may have something to do with chickens).
Because, prior to the Occupation, this tract of land was used exclusively for agricultural research (and not establishing a grunge encampment), there's actually less farming going on now than there was before.
But that fact gets in the way of The Narrative, so it must be vigorously discarded and ignored.

A youth group that welcomes the rebels and the religious/
How Did He Do It? I recently read through the story of the Prodigal son in Luke 15. And this time what stuck out to me was not the son's rebellion, not the other son's hard heart, not even the father's lavish grace. This time when I read through this story I was struck by what was not said, what was not described, but what must have been true in the relationship between the father and his boys.
Of course it is a lavish grace that the father extends, but what is amazing is that the manner in which the father lived in front of his sons made it possible for both of them to return to intimate relationship. Somehow the father communicated his love and grace because the prodigal son knew in the depth of his being that his father would take him back. I know that the scriptures place him in a humble position, willing to take a position as a slave, but still the son knew that he could go back, even after completely shaming his family and specifically, his father. So at the depth of despair, in his hour of need, he remembered that his childhood home was an option to get him out of this mess.
This is the part of the story that I wish there was more clarity on. How in the world did the father communicate his overwhelming love and grace to his sons so that they knew in their heart of hearts that they would always have a place at the table?
A Ministry That Reflects the Father's Heart:
As we kick off another year of student ministry, I am confronted with the awful reality that there is little rhyme or reason to the spiritual life of a teenager. One season they are on fire, leaders in their youth group and on their campus, the next they bottom out and walk away from it all. Some students push away as hard as they can as a kind of test to see how much our love and grace will stretch. Others find fulfillment in being the teacher's pet of youth group, but inside their heart is just as cold and unredeemed.
No matter what path our students take in their walk with God, I am inspired to lead a ministry that reflects the lavish love and grace our Father has given to us. Somehow I want to live in a way that the rebellious kid knows that the church, the people of God, and God Himself is always anxiously waiting on the edge of our property scanning the horizon, longing for their return. And when they do come back, to heap celebration on them, not shame.
I also want to be loving enough to make sure I am not caught up in the religiosity of my best kids. In the process of them being my number one leader, their heart could be growing cold and distant and, without realizing it, I could be teaching them that their identity and worth is dependent upon performance, not on the fact that God simply loves them. I must continue to run after these students, lavish God's love and grace and continue to invite them to the party!
May our youth group be a place where all are welcomed, no matter their past, their present, or their future. When they are here they will experience love and grace, and when they remain outside out of protest or rebellion, I will mimic the actions of the Father and invite them back in, anxiously scanning the horizon for their return.

The History of TUDI Mechanical Systems
Bob Tudi founded his company in 1987 with $4,000 and a pickup truck.
From the beginning, Bob leaned on technology, employee perks and management incentives to grow sales, as well as employee and customer satisfaction. His contractors use the latest hand-held devices to submit paperwork immediately from the field. And GPS-enabled trucks that let dispatchers speed response times and better coordinate assignments.
Bob has a long established open-book policy that lets his staff see financial data to help drive company actions and buy-in, and all employees participate in profit sharing.
By concentrating on the customers' needs, and continually working at how to work smarter and faster while training and retaining the best employees in the business, Bob could write a book on how to build a company and customer base right from the ground up.
Starting with modest means and fueled by some big dreams, Bob has grown TUDI Mechanical Systems into the premier HVAC and plumbing contractor in the Pittsburgh, PA, area.
Along the way, he also re-created his success in Tampa, FL. Learn more about his Tampa heating, air conditioning, plumbing HVAC contractors business.

text: Journalist's health seriously deteriorates inside Houthi custody الأثنين 21 نوفمبر 2016 08:53 م Alsahwah Net Sada Human Right Organization has revealed that health of the journalist Abdul-Khaliq Emran seriously deteriorated due to the torture he was subjected to inside the custodies of the Houthis and ousted President Ali Abdullah Saleh. The organization said that Emran suffered pains on his back and he was advised to be taken to hospital, but the militias still refuse to treat him. Sada held the militias responsible for Emran's safety, calling all human rights organizations to shoulder their responsibility, and demanding to release Emran and other journalists held in custodies of the Houthis and Saleh. Emran and other 14 journalists have been held by the Houthis for more than a year and a half without any charges or trials.

In 2009 Rebecca Schacker purchased a foreclosed home in the Foster-Powell neighborhood and embarked on a down-to-the-studs renovation, with the goal of creating a homey, welcoming clinic space. The finished building includes five treatment rooms, an ADA accessible bathroom and entryway, off-street bike parking and a yard landscaped with carefully chosen native plants. Apex opened its doors to its first patients in September 2010.
Rebecca envisioned a neighborhood-focused wellness clinic because she believes that people gain much more from their treatment when they can access it in their own community, just a short walk or bike ride away. She calls Foster-Powell her home, too.
Apex provides Chiropractic & Physical Rehabilitation, Massage Therapy, Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine, and Family Medicine because the combination of these practices offer patients holistic, integrated treatments that do not rely on drugs to stifle pain. Instead, these practices treat the roots of pain, in the bones, muscles, ligaments and tendons. Apex also provides nutrition and lifestyle recommendations, because our health and wellbeing is deeply effected by how we treat our bodies and what we put into them.
Mission Statement
Apex Wellness Center provides comprehensive healthcare in the Foster-Powell neighborhood and greater Portland Metropolitan area. Our mission is to help our patients achieve their health and well-being goals by delivering high-quality, integrated health care in Chiropractic & Physical Rehabilitation, Massage Therapy, Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine, and Family Medicine. Our commitment extends to encouraging a healthy lifestyle through nutrition education, and to giving back to our community in ways that support wellness for everyone.

Published at Tuesday, April 23rd, 2019 - 17:03:54 PM. Vanity. By Tanguy Francoeur.
In the same way, make sure that all colours, sizes and details are correct and documented as custom made vanities can be difficult to exchange if there is an issue. Keep all relevant documents and receipts on hand so that if it is the fault of the supplier, you have proof that they need to resolve the issue.
You will find that there are three styles of vanities – antique, transitional and contemporary. While the first two types of vanities are bulkier and more ornate, a contemporary bathroom vanity is more simplistic in design. It blends well with today's style of bathroom décor and available bathroom fixtures. It also goes well with the preference of the modern generation. Today's generation may admire Victorian or Gothic designs in cinemas or on the pages of fashion magazines, but for their own home, they always choose the contemporary style.
