One from the archive here. A very cool and relaxed wedding in the heart of the Sussex Countryside.
I love it when I get to shoot a couple of weddings from the same family or friendship groups as I get to meet people over again and catch up with them. So I'd shot Becky's (the bride above) sister Maddy's wedding the year before, so it was nice seeing their family again.
What was great about this fun wedding was that it was a really relaxed and chilled affair with a smaller wedding party than a huge wedding. So everyone gets to know each other.

Helloooooo! I feel like I've been editing photos foreeeeeever. Now I'm finally crawling out of my photo editing cave to share some with y'all. (Can I say y'all even though I'm really a New Englander? I choose to believe yes. Yes, I can. ) Yay!
Anyway, I got to go back to Colt State Park which is so beautiful in the fall, you guys! My friends Kate and Nathan wanted me to take one-year photos of their adorable son Foster. And when I say adorable, I mean, a-freaking-dorable. You'll see. This little man is so cute, and it was so fun to capture the many faces of Foster. We spent about half the shoot focusing on Foster, and then family photos for the other half.
I think these will make for some pretty cute Christmas cards.
Also, tangent -- Christmas!! I'm so excited. This meme is my life right now. Who's with me?
OK, back to the Alberts. Here are some of my favs.

January City Updates
- Our 1 and only club closed down
- 3/12: Hosted dinner and gave out "Jesus Love Stripper shirts, pajama pants and fuzzy socks
- Hosted prayer meeting for former employees and JSL leadership
- Provided training for new Alliance Partners that were matched with former employees
- Hosted the Strip Club Employee Christmas Party
December was full of surprises! Our teams are accustomed to helping 1-2 women at a time transitioning from the clubs. In December, we have been assisting over 22 women and 3 men! Over 12 different churches have risen up from our community to help in the process. 24 women are serving as "Alliance Partners", reaching out and walking with former employees through this transition. Through the relationship, the Dixie Fund, and various community and spiritual resources, we are seeing lives impacted. We are seeing faces and families as they experience hope and change!
Prayer Needs:
- Trust and deepening relationship between former employees and JSL-Alliance Partners
- Provision through Dixie Fund and long-term employment
- Wisdom for JSL Leadership as we navigate new waters for BCS
- Chains of PTSD, poverty, depression, abuse and unhealthy lifestyles to be broken
- Joy, Love, Hope and Freedom would become the new normal.
- 200 stockings were delivered to dancers in Dallas
- 2 new clubs allowed our teams to come in, totalling 6 clubs
- 1 fully Spanish-speaking team is now serving a club
- 52 diverse club team members entered the clubs
- 14 new guys joined our Security Team
- 17 churches now represent the volunteer base of JSL Dallas
- 1 dancer asked for help transitioning out of the club
December was the launch of many new things in Dallas. We had the privilege of adding 2 new clubs to the list we enter monthly. JSL Dallas created 6 teams of 8 women who would enter the same club each month, fostering and deepening relationships. These new teams will allow JSL to have more time in the clubs and opportunities for regular connections outside the club with dancers.
As we approached management of the 2 new clubs, we were not sure what we would face.
At the first club, the manager's initial reaction was "No!" He was hesitant of church groups entering the clubs. As we began to talk, he remembered that we had met at The EXXXotica Convention in Dallas months prior. In an instant, his demeanor changed. Because JSL was willing to be a part of that convention, he trusted us. He saw that we were not the groups of people who had judged him...and the walls of his heart came tumbling down! He hugged me, gave me his information, and said he would see us in a week! God's favor continues to pour itself out on JSL, because we present the gospel in complete love.
The last club manager responded with open arms. Our Spanish Club Team leader was able to share her heart and ask permission for the first time. This manager's response will stick with us; "Any group that is willing to come into our club and love our dancers is welcome here. Thank you for what you do. These girls need love."
Prayer Needs:
- Relationships outside the club would continue to grow
- All new team members stay grounded in the Word and are able to love dancers well
- Security Team would continue to grow.
- Financial support for 2016 would flourish
- 3 Houston clubs gave us permission to come in
- 145 Christmas stockings were delivered to dancers
- 9 gift cards and shirts were given to managers, bouncers, and parking attendants
- 8 women on our Club Team and 3 men from our Security Team experienced the clubs for the first time
Our first outreach to Houston clubs could not have gone better! We delivered beautiful Christmas stockings to the women, which were filled with pajama pants, fuzzy socks and "Jesus Loves Strippers" t-shirts. The response was overwhelming. The women loved the gifts and we heard over and over, "I can't believe this!", "This is so nice!", "Thank you so much!" My favorite question, though, is when the dancers ask, "Why?" We are able to explain to them, "We want you to know that you are loved. Jesus really loves you." One girl remarked, "You guys have so much genuine joy. We don't have that in here...thank you for coming."
Our Security Team was also able to engage managers and bouncers in conversation outside of the clubs. God opened the door for intentional conversations almost immediately!
A special thank you to the women at Grand Parkway Baptist Church for making the beautiful Christmas stockings, and Cathy Pugh for her contribution, which purchased the pajama pants for each dancer!
Prayer Needs:
- We would continue to build trust and rapport with dancers, management, and staff at each club
- Provision for more church partnerships and monthly outreach sponsors.
- More opportunities to share Jesus Said Love in Houston
- 40 stockings stuffed with body spray, pajama bottoms, and candy were given to dancers
- 35 purple "Jesus Loves Strippers" shirts were gifted
- 5 Christmas popcorn tins were given to bouncers and managers
- 30 lbs of Rudys BBQ were enjoyed in the club
As December's outreach approached, the Lord spoke the word "comfort" to me. Even in the clubs, while so much chaos is surrounding us, we know comfort because Christ came. We prayed for this comfort heading into outreach and shortly after we arrived, I dancer I had never met before came up to me and said, "Can I talk to you real quick?" She pulled me aside from the other girls and began to cry as she told me about her friend that passed away that morning. She explained that this friend was a believer and her family had always been so kind to her. She specifically asked me to pray for comfort for her friend's family. How beautiful it was to hold her hands and go before the Father with her! He works it all together for his glory.
- Outreach gift sponsors for upcoming months
- Prayers for more time with dancers outside of the club.
- Financial support for city budget

The John Dee Quatercentenary Conference
St John's College, Cambridge
21 – 22 September 2009
2009 marks the quatercentary of the death of the great Elizabethan polymath, John Dee (1527-1609). This international and interdisciplinary conference commemorates the occasion by investigating the extraordinary range of Dee's interests and enterprises: his studies in geometry, navigation, and calendar reform; his fascination with alchemy, magic, and divination; his achievement in building England's greatest library; and his place in the wider intellectual world of Renaissance Europe.
Speakers include Stephen Clucas (Birkbeck, University of London), Nicholas Clulee (FrostburgStateUniversity), Jean-Marc Mandosio (École pratique des hautes études, Paris), Glyn Parry (Victoria University of Wellington), Stephen Pumfrey (LancasterUniversity), and György Sz?nyi (CentralEuropeanUniversity, Szeged, and AngliaRuskinUniversity). The conference includes the opportunity to examine some of Dee's own books in St John's College Old Library under the guidance of Julian Roberts, co-editor of John Dee's Library Catalogue.
For further details, including registration, please visit the conference website: www.hps.cam.ac.uk/dee
The John Dee Quatercentenary Conference is supported by the Department of History and Philosophy of Science (University of Cambridge), the British Society for the History of Science, and the Society for Renaissance Studies. Travel bursaries may be available for student participants. For further details, please email Jennifer Rampling at [email protected]

Professional Community for Car Dealers, Marketing, Advertising and Sales Leaders
Facebook users have shown that they're more willing to interact with content in their newsfeed than traditional advertising. With Facebook Offers, you can deliver deals to your fans' news feeds each day without having to use an outside website like Livingsocial. These offers can spread quickly when your fans share them with others in their networks. Anytime someone clicks and claims an offer, a notification shows up in their friends' news feeds. That gives more people an opportunity to claim your great offer for themselves.
How Much Does it Cost?
It depends on how many people you want to reach. When you're creating your offer, you can pick one of the suggested budgets from the drop down menu.
To set up a Facebook Offer:
Sign into your Facebook account. On your page, look at the top left side for "Offer/Event" next to Status and Photo and click on it.
Choose "Offer."
Create your offer.
Facebook also offers the following best practices:
Make discounts substantial. Discounts should be at least 20% off regular prices. Offering things for free typically performs better than discounts even if the percentage off is the same implied value as the free item. For example, "Buy one oil change, get one free."
Keep it simple. Describe your terms and conditions as simply as possible, and don't make customers perform unusual activities.
Use a clear and engaging image. Photos of people using your product typically perform better than photos of your product by itself, and both of these generally perform better than your dealership's logo. Your Page's profile picture will also show next to your offer in most places, so don't use the same photo for both. Make sure your photo looks good when viewed at thumbnail size.
Keep language natural and direct. Your headline should lead with the value of the offer instead of marketing slogans. Avoid using unconventional capitalization or punctuation.
Set a reasonable expiration date. Give people at least a few days to see and claim an offer. Take advantage of word-of-mouth marketing by allowing time for your offer to be shared between friends.
Promote your offer. Add a budget and pin your offer to the top of your Page so people will notice it. We recommend re-sharing an existing offer instead of creating the same offer twice so it's easier to track how many people are claiming it.
Train your staff. Make sure your employees know the terms of your offer and how people can redeem it. Some people will print out the offer while others might show the offer on their phones or tablets.
If you want more information on Facebook offers go to their website here.
What do you think of Facebook offers? Would you use this for your dealership?

Your way of telling the whole thing in this article is in fact good, every one can easily be aware of it, Thanks a lot.
Very cool.
That is so true Christine, even with other social tools like foursquare. I would SHOW the person my phone and they would look at me clueless!
Great post! Especially your last point about educating your staff. So many times I try to redeem a social offer at a restaurant or store and the staff is completely confused on what it is and oftn try to say it's not valid.

Presenting: The "collaborative art project" Webcam Tears which is really a Tumblr, featuring crying teenage girls who are really 20-something internet-famous seapunks. Sometimes.
"In a time where showing genitals on the internet is not shocking anymore, tears are a new form of pornography," says fashion journalist Dora Moutot and she wants you to sob and snivel on webcam for her. She says she's inspired by Laurel Nakadate's piece 365 Days: A Catalogue of Tears, but I don't blame Laurel. Does this Tumblr realize how mind-bogglingly meta it is?
It's a blog of staged Internet crying semi-masquerading as real Internet crying, based on Nakadate's staged Internet crying based on real Internet crying. Oh, my head.
There are a few submissions already, and many of them look like actual angsty teen girls, so get a salty whiff, you pervert. There's an understated note of that "Am I Ugly?" artist con girl, but not quite that sad.

about & contact
Hi, I'm Alexander - I've spent most of my life working with music, arts & design. In 2010 I stumbled upon photography by chance, and I LOVED it !
In fact, I loved it so much I am now semi-retired from the music-industry, spending most of my days photographing people. In addition, I am also a fashion stylist.
I believe there's something special about photographing people - bringing out that special smile or look from someone. Photographing fashion and beauty, styling and creating fashion-stories. Standing in the front row among the crowd at a venue shooting the band on stage, or shooting corporate portraits for your company.
Meeting new faces and clients, seeing new places, and making new friends - I love every minute of it !
At the moment I'm located in Tønsberg, 1 hour outside of Oslo.
You can reach me at +47 98 22 02 80 or email me here.

Money Manners
Carolyn Bordner; `I would go out with him again'
Note: This story originally appeared Sunday, December 4, 2005
Bio: Bordner, 23, is a social worker just out of college who lives in Brookside.
Challenge: No more jerks. She's a caring woman looking for a guy outside the bar scene who won't take advantage of her.
Advice: Coach George Turner suggested she prepare herself for dating just as she would for a road trip.
"What's the baggage you're carrying?" he asked. "If you don't know if you have a full tank of gas, if your tires are inflated ... it's going to be really hard."
Turns out Bordner has been comparing every new guy to the memory of a great, departed college boyfriend.
"If you're throwing out everything that doesn't look or smell or taste like him," Turner said, "you're getting rid of a lot of stuff that you could be catching."
Assignments: Screen dates better: Jot down what qualities are important and separate them into must-haves and "would-be-nice-ifs." And spend time in her "discomfort" zone. Bordner doesn't like dating - "I like the comfort of a relationship," she said. So dating is exactly what she needs to do to challenge herself.
What happened: To speed up finding suitable suitors, we set up Bordner with three guys who seemed kind, smart and ambitious, a few of her "must-haves." (See video from each date on KansasCity.com.)
For the first date, Bordner ice skated with self-professed hockey amateur Dan Lorenz. She was impressed by his intellect but disappointed he didn't show off his moves on the ice. The verdict? "You don't meet someone every day that you can have a conversation (with) about intelligent things like books, so, yeah, I would go out with him again."
Next was a trip to the zoo with Derek Smith. Despite the cloudy sky and cold weather, the two had only positive things to say about their time together. In fact, they continued the date at the movies. "It was easygoing, just laughing and having fun," Bordner said. "I didn't feel pressure or nervous or uncomfortable."
Bordner's final date was with Scott Keith at the Africa exhibit in Union Station - which turned out to be only a so-so place for a first date. "It was really interactive," Bordner said. "We were really quiet the whole time, just reading."
What's next: Bordner and Smith have seen each other at least three times since their first date. She also saw Lorenz again.
"I don't know how it's going to go, but I want to take things slow and hang out with people and get to know the guys and see what happens," Bordner says. The guys she's referring to are Lorenz and Smith.
She decided she was not interested in a future with Keith, and she told him so, which is a step forward from Bordner's original challenge of not being able to cut things off first.
After the first story ran, Bordner received e-mails from interested guys, and she has been responding to see if there's a connection.
So, is she going to take Turner's advice and play the field before settling into a relationship?
"I'm leaving my options open."

Australian travel entrepreneurs and founders of Chimu Adventures, Greg Carter and Chad Carey, gave Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull a tour of their latest venture in South America on Friday, boutique hotel Casa Republica in Lima, Peru.
Mr Turnbull is in Lima for the APEC Summit and took time out of his busy schedule to meet with Mr Carter and Mr Carey, who are investing more than $5m to transform a 1920s mansion in the buzzing Barranco District into what will be the city's hottest boutique hotel when it opens next March.
In a nice twist, the pair first met Mr Turnbull in 2008 when the Federal Member for Wentworth called into their office, then located in Bondi Junction, to congratulate them on making the finals of both the Telstra Business Awards and the Commonwealth Bank Champions Awards.
Chimu has evolved rapidly since then and is now the market-leading Latin America and Antarctic tour operator with 70 staff.
"It's a great privilege to meet Mr Turnbull and we're very pleased to have the opportunity to show him around Casa Republica, which we believe is an excellent business opportunity," Mr Carey said.
"The simple fact is that there's a shortage of good hotels in Lima, especially for travellers who want to stay in non-chain properties with modern facilities and a sense of place, the market we are targeting."
"To our knowledge we're the first Australian company to develop a hotel in South America", He added.
Tourism to Peru is on a roll with visitor numbers more than doubling in the past decade, reaching an all-time high of 4.22 million in 2015, an increase of 9.3% over 2014, and momentum is continuing through this year.
Adding to the allure, Lima's reputation as the food and culture capital of South America continues to grow with the well-known eateries Central (#4), Astrid y Gaston (#14) and Maido (#44) all featuring in San Pellegrino's top 50 restaurant awards for 2015.
"There's a lot happening in Lima at the moment – there's a really good feel about the place – and when the opportunity came up to lease this amazing mansion and transform it into a hotel, we absolutely jumped at it," Mr Carey said.
Its prime location in the heart of Barranco, just 200m from the beach on Saenz Pena, one of the area's best streets, was also a major attraction. "Barranco is a fantastic place – really buzzy, with lots of great restaurants, cafes and galleries," he said.
When complete, the former beach retreat of a wealthy Lima family will feature 17 stylish guest rooms, beautiful public areas, a restaurant and rooftop bar with views of the South Pacific.
"We want it to become a part of the community reflecting the best aspects of Lima and Peru."

75 per cent of Canadians unaware of TPP negotiations: poll
New Zealand Prime Minister John Key, left, delivers a statement next to Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, right, in Tokyo, Tuesday, March 24, 2015. The two prime ministers discussed increased coordination toward an early conclusion of the Trans-Pacific Partnership free trade negotiations involving 12 Pacific-rim countries. Canada is one of the 12 countries, but a poll shows most Canadians don't know that. (AP/Franck Robichon, Pool)
Mike Blanchfield, The Canadian Press
Published Wednesday, June 17, 2015 7:47AM EDT
Last Updated Wednesday, June 17, 2015 4:34PM EDT
OTTAWA -- It's the biggest free trade deal Canadians never heard of.
A new poll suggests three in four Canadians have no idea that Canada is one of 12 countries immersed in negotiations for the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
The poll was conducted by Environics Research Group for Trade Justice Network, an umbrella group dedicated to challenging the secretive process by which international trade deals are generally negotiated.
Fully 75 per cent of respondents said they had never heard of the TPP before being asked about it by the pollster.
The telephone poll of 1,002 Canadians was conducted June 3-12 and is considered accurate within plus or minus 3.2 percentage points, 19 times in 20.
The 12 countries involved in negotiations include the United States, Mexico, Australia, Japan, Chile, Vietnam and Singapore; they represent a market of almost 800 million people and a combined gross domestic product of more than $25 trillion.
The federal government maintains the TPP would enhance trade in the Asia-Pacific region, providing greater economic opportunity for Canadians.
Trade Justice Network spokesman Martin O'Hanlon called it "deeply disturbing" that so few Canadians are aware of the partnership talks.
The network maintains the secret negotiations are being conducted with the guidance of multinational corporations and with no input from labour leaders, environmentalists or even MPs.
"It's frightening that this can happen in a democracy," O'Hanlon said.
Maude Barlow, head of the Council of Canadians, a group that opposes the TPP, said more Canadians need to know about the deal because it affects "our ability to set our own laws, and protect health care, family farms and the environment."
She blamed the government for not informing the public. "Unfortunately, negotiations are being held in secret and there is no public debate."
Max Moncaster, a spokesman for Trade Minister Ed Fast, said the government has consulted widely with the provinces and territories throughout the negotiations.
"Our government was the one that introduced an unprecedented process for putting international treaties before the House of Commons," Moncaster said in a statement.
A former senior adviser to Fast said all trade deals are negotiated behind closed doors.
"Of any big negotiation, whether it's a union negotiation or a labour negotiation, I have yet to see one aired on CPAC or C-Span," said Adam Taylor, an Ottawa trade consultant.
"Critics of the secrecy, specifically, because of their own anti-trade views, they pinpoint that as the criticism."
But New Democrat trade critic Don Davies said that line of argument doesn't cut it because U.S. lawmakers are allowed to view the draft text of the TPP as long as they abide by a strict confidentiality agreement.
Davies said he's been repeatedly rebuffed by the government when he's made similar requests in Canada, including a personal appeal to Fast himself.
"Your average American lawmaker can see the text of the TPP and I, as official Opposition trade critic, can't," said Davies.
"The Conservatives have just taken secrecy to an extreme degree."
Taylor said trade deals are rarely top of mind for average Canadians, and generally only grab the attention of business groups or other parties with a direct interest.
His firm, ENsight, conducted its own online poll of 1,200 Canadians in early June, and found that 40 per cent of respondents did not know which of four major trade agreements was most important to Canada.
The North American Free Trade Agreement was ranked highest at 26 per cent, while the TPP was favoured by 12 per cent of respondents.

One of the most important functions of a professional organization is to identify issues facing the profession, seek counsel from its senior leaders and discuss them among the membership. The PRSA-NCC Thought Leadership program is dedicated to that ideal. This year, our thought leadership event will be held from 8 to 10 a.m. on Wednesday, August 2nd, at the National Press Club in Washington, DC.
The topic is one of concern to all communicators: "Beyond Fake News: The Role and Responsibility of Communications Professionals in Conducting Public Conversations."
A panel of senior executives will share their insight on the nature of our public discourse today. They will host a conversation about our role and responsibility in shaping a public dialog that contains persuasive arguments yet is respectful of others and encourages a kind of debate that truly facilitates decision making on public issues.
Do we have a responsibility to shape a conversation so it doesn't devolve into personal attacks or hate speech? If so, how can we do this and still break through the clutter? Also, if our organization is the subject of such an attack, how do we protect the brand?Event Sponsor:

The most perfect weather you could want, wonderful days of spinning and working on a crocheted shawl at the craft tent and nice visitors. What more could you ask of a weekend?
Friday was a little rocky, when we went up to finalize things on the SO's house and ran into a few problems with noisy kids that are throwing trash and toys on the property and a problem with a boundary. He was a bit discouraged but still figures to go ahead with the closing. Unless we find out about more problems.
Saturday was a gorgeous day here, clear with a steady breeze. I sold some yarn at the craft tent and we had some great people stop by both Saturday and Sunday, including some old friends that I hadn't seen in awhile. I'm so tied to the house and computer during the week that it's fun to get out and talk. And do I talk! By the time I explain everything about the rabbits, spinning, dyeing and answer questions, my voice feels strained! It's fun when people ask so many questions and are interested in what you do.
The crocheted shawl is coming along splendidly, at long last. It's a simple pattern, just triple and double crochet with increases at the point and each edge. But I'm liking the effect, with very fluffy angora I don't usually like a fussy pattern. I'm really enjoying working on this and will be sorry to let it go. But I really NEED to!

(Reuters Health) - - Women are more apt to be lead authors of research in major medical journals today than they were a generation ago, but they still lag significantly behind men, a recent study suggests.
The gender gap matters because lead authors make key decisions on what topics to research, who to include in studies, which outcomes to examine and how to interpret the data, said lead author of the current study, Giovanni Filardo of Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas.
It also matters because early-career researchers depend on publications to advance to more senior positions, meaning the gender gap in medical journals may contribute to a gender disparity in leadership roles at universities and teaching hospitals down the line.
"A lot has been written about the `leaky pipeline' for women in academic medicine," Filardo said by email. "No one seems to have identified any gaping holes – such as an identifiable process excluding women from receiving research funding – that could be relatively easily and quickly fixed with a policy change."
"Rather, the problem seems to be multiple, small, insidious leaks that are hard to pin down precisely for repair and that, at the level encountered by the individual, may seem too small or even petty to be worth drawing attention to," Filardo added.
To explore the gender divide in published work, Filardo and colleagues analyzed authorship over two decades for six prominent journals: Annals of Internal Medicine, The BMJ, JAMA, Archives of Internal Medicine, The Lancet and the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM).
In 1994, women were lead authors on just 27 percent of articles in these journals, the research team reported in The BMJ.
By 2014, women accounted for 37 percent of lead authors overall.
Some journals published more work led by women than others, the study also found.
The BMJ had the highest total proportion of female first authors, at 39 percent, while the lowest proportion was found in the NEJM, at 24 percent.
While most journals increased female lead authors over time, NEJM actually had a smaller proportion by the end of the study than it did twenty years earlier.
Female lead authors also had better odds of placing non-experimental studies – such as those based on analysis of existing database information - in these prominent journals than they did of placing experimental research.
The proportion of non-experimental studies with female lead authors increased from 31 percent to 40 percent over the study period.
For experimental studies, which might include the gold-standard randomized controlled trial design, female first authors advanced from 20 percent to 35 percent over the study period.
Women were most likely to be lead authors on articles about general medicine, followed by cardiology. They were much less likely to be first authors on studies focused on specialties like infectious disease, cancer or HIV.
While it's hard to say exactly why women may be underrepresented in these journals, it's possible that their lack of representation on editorial boards and as reviewers who critique and select research for publication may play a role. Male reviewers are more likely to publish work by other men, the authors note.
To close the gender gap in lead authorship, journals may need to diversify their editorial staff and to do a better job of addressing unconscious gender bias, Kathryn Rexrode, a researcher at Harvard Medical School and director of the Office for Women's Careers at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, noted in an accompanying editorial.
"The influx of women in medicine and science has changed some of the questions that are asked," Rexrode said by email.
Until recently, most clinical research was done in men and lab research was done in male animals, Rexrode noted.
"Women researchers were a large part of the impetus to ask, `but what about women?'" Rexrode added. "This has led to increased research in sex differences, and the `every cell has a sex' campaign – which will hopefully benefit both men and women patients."

The Wind Through the Keyhole, pages 109-128 Summary
Long ago, Tim lived with his parents, Nell and Big Jack Ross, in the village of Tree, located at the edge of the dangerous Endless Forest where many deadly creatures lived. Big Ross always joked about leaving Tim his hand ax, his lucky coin, his place and his plot, and Tim slept knowing he was loved and had a place in the world. Unfortunately, the good years never last long; when Tim is eleven years old, Big Ross and his partner, Big Kells, travel down the Ironwood Trail into the Endless Forest, and only Kells returns, speaking one word: dragon. Tim loses his dad along with his ax and his lucky coin, and he knows that soon he will lose his plot and place in the world as well. Tim studies...

T-Shirt Design
The fashion industry woke up to the importance of T-Shirt design, sometime in the last decade or so. Till then nobody had cared to give the designing of T-Shirts much forethought. If there was a great idea that could be put on a T-Shirt, then well and good, but if not, then no sleep was lost over it. T-Shirt design emerged as a major component of the fashion industry when the designing world saw the coming of skilled graphic designers. Over the years this trend has gained in popularity and T-Shirt design is fast becoming a major money-spinner in terms of the designing business.

By Ted Kleine
I'm an avid collector of Spiro Agnew memorabilia. I have What Makes Spiro Run, the unauthorized biography, and I own a copy of his novel, The Canfield Decision, an international spy thriller starring a heroic vice president. I'm still looking for the jigsaw puzzle depicting Agnew dressed as Superman, and the Hard Hat Hauler, a toy dragster with Agnew's portrait on one hubcap. I'd also love to get a tape of the campaign song from his 1966 run for governor of Maryland. Sung to the tune of "My Kind of Town," it went: "My kind of guy, Ted Agnew is / My kind of guy."
My best find to date is a genuine "Nixon/Agnew" bumper sticker that's now on display in my living room. I bought it from Chicago's king of political kitsch, Russell Riberto, who sells campaign curios out of his Southwest Barber Shop at 2404 W. 111th Street. Sit down for a trim and you face a shelf holding busts of Abe Lincoln, Will Rogers, Pericles, Dante, and Vladimir Lenin. Lean back for a shave and you'll see dozens of old newspapers hanging from the ceiling, including a tattered copy of the Tribune's "Dewey Defeats Truman" edition and the Chicago Evening News's Armistice Day offering: "Huns Quit! Peace!" To the left of the price list, which advertises "House Calls--$20 to $30," is a bulletin board impaled with a century's worth of campaign buttons. There's a George Wallace pin that fades from his photo to his slogan--"Stand Up For America!"--when it's tilted up and down. And there are several declaring "Hey! Hey! Vote for Ray!" left over from when Republican Ray Wardingley, otherwise known as Spanky the Clown, used the shop as his campaign headquarters when he ran for mayor in 1983.
Riberto started dealing in mementos in the mid-1960s after the Beatles appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show and ended the heyday of high-maintenance hairstyles like the crew cut. "I figured to supplement the business," he says. "At that time, the barber business was tapering off. The Beatles had come to town. Long hair was in. Prior to that, people would get haircuts every week."
Politics also gave his place a classier tone than most barbershops, which used to be little stag clubs where the only reading material was Esquire and Playboy and the conversation consisted of football commentary and dirty jokes.
"I'm not a horse bettor or a sports guy," Riberto says. "I don't have any dirty magazines. I like to talk educational. When a kid comes in here, I want to educate him. I have children--I've got eight grandchildren and four children. If I can't educate, forget it!"
A bantam-size 78-year-old, Riberto recently had a hip replaced, ending his days of standing behind a barber's chair. But he's still spry enough to hobble around the shop, holding forth on his collection in a trumpet voice as loud as that of his all-time favorite politician, Franklin D. Roosevelt. "I came from a poor family. That's all I heard around my house. My dad was a foreigner, didn't speak much English, but he said 'Roosevelt my great-a man!'"
Riberto points at a series of photos taken in the Vatican. They show his arm extended like an elephant's trunk over a crowd of pilgrims so he can hand Pope John Paul II a souvenir button of Sadat and Begin's historic visit to Camp David. "Being a world traveler, I've met the pope," he pipes. "Being the pope is a peace lover, I thought he'd appreciate a medallion."
Moving on to a framed copy of a letter from Martin Luther King Jr., Riberto declares, "I've always been a freedom fighter. I've always been an equal justice man, because I know what it is to suffer. When I was growing up, I heard, 'You little dago, you little bomb thrower.' I've always been for human rights. I wish I'd been at Selma." Then in a businessman's aside he adds: "Today, being that Martin Luther King died at a young age, his items are highly collectible."
The most lucrative items in Riberto's shop are his old license plates. People are willing to spend big money for them, especially antique car collectors--"They've already spent $50,000 on a car." When Brian De Palma was filming The Untouchables in Chicago, his crew called Riberto looking for Illinois license plates from the 1920s. Riberto had them, of course: he's got plates from every state, every era, from the Wyoming plates with the silhouette of the bucking cowboy to the Tennessee plates stamped in the shape of the state. He's a member of the Automobile License Plate Collectors' Association, and he considers License Plates of the United States: A Pictorial History "the greatest book ever published."
"I have license plates back from 1900, when you wore 'em on your duster," he says. "You had to wear coveralls, because you picked up so much dirt on them. There were only 300 or 400 cars in Chicago then."
Riberto is currently the steward of Illinois license plate number 82 530. He bought it from a man who lived at 8253 S. Dorchester and got his address on his plates every year, starting in 1926. The entire collection is now on the wall of the shop, except for the latest plate, which is on the back of Riberto's station wagon, right under a sign that proclaims "Wanted: Antiques and Collectibles." He's looking for a successor to buy the lot and carry number 82 530 into the 21st century. "I want to sell it for $5,000," he says. "I'll turn it over to him right now. If it's not worth $25,000 in 20 years, he can come out and urinate on my grave at Holy Sepulchre."
Riberto is also trying hard to peddle a set of photos of every Chicago mayor from William Ogden to Michael Bilandic, which he bought from the old Mayor's Row restaurant. He'll even sell you the picture of his favorite mayor, the one-term reformer Martin Kennelly. "He was in the storage business," Riberto says admiringly, "and he was a dynamic person."
Because of Riberto's pack-rat ways, the Southwest Barber Shop is not only a political museum, it's a museum of men's hairstyling. Next to an old eight-track player stacked with cassettes by Cat Stevens and Helen Reddy are ancient bottles of Clubman greaseless hair tonic and display boards for Leopard Unbreakable Combs. Both items were big back when a man could walk into any barbershop in America and ask for an "Ivy League" or a "high and dry." Spiro Agnew, a dapper man who was lauded by Men's Hairstylist and Barber's Journal for providing "good grooming leadership to the rest of his fellow citizens" and who was famous for his diatribes against longhaired hippies, would have appreciated this old-fashioned, middle-American barbershop devoted to his two obsessions: politics and neat hair. And Riberto probably would have enjoyed having Agnew in the chair for a trim and a chat.
"I'm an educated person," he boasts. "I can hold a conversation with anybody. I may be just a barber, but I can hold a conversation with the president of the United States."

I decided to go ahead and shop for two weeks since we will be out of town when I normally grocery shop… I don't think grocery shopping on the way home would be a good plan (we are going to my in-laws' at Glorieta, NM).
This is how I plan for grocery shopping:
First, I meal plan based on what we have on hand. The post with the next two weeks' plan is here: Meal Planning Sunday, December 18th.
Then, I make a grocery list for the week (or two in this case… I ended up adding to this after I took a picture).
From now on, grocery shopping will be done every Monday. This time around we won't be home Monday, which is why I shopped for two weeks. After today's shopping trip, I have decided to ONLY shop at HEB from now on. I usually some items at HEB and the rest at Walmart because I didn't know any better; but I decided that I didn't want to go to two places today, so I only shopped at HEB. I was very pleasantly surprised at their prices and selection! I am sold! Many, many of their prices are cheaper than Walmart… and the quality is SO much better!
My Day:
First, I went to Chick Fil A and got my favorite nuggets and fries. I should have taken my lunch, but I felt like eating CFA today. I don't normally eat out when I go to town for AA and grocery shopping, but I had some Christmas money and decided to treat myself :-).
Then, I went to my Women's AA.
It was ccooolllldddd (for Texas, that is).
Then I got gas at HEB (cheapest gas in town at $1.93 per gallon) and did my grocery shopping. My goal was $200 for 2 weeks (with $50 left for those few things that we will need between now and next pay day). I spent $199, and that included a $10 gingerbread house :-). I was happy with my purchases because I bought mostly whole foods (and a few easy snacks for the road).
When I got home and laid everything out, my table was FULL. My husband laughed at me…
Here is what I bought!
- 3lbs ground chuck
- 2 1/2 pound chuck shoulder roast
- 1 large whole chicken (5.84lbs)
- 3lbs bone-in pork chops
- 1 package of Oscar Meyer uncured hot dogs
- 3 packages Hormel natural (uncured) lunch meat: salami, cracked pepper turkey, applewood smoked ham
(We already have chicken thighs, a pound of ground beef, and 2 packages of Hormel lunch meat).
- HEB roasted garlic hummus
- 2 containers of Julio's salsa
- 1lb HEB medium cheddar
- 10oz HEB sliced gouda (for our trip)
- Duke's mayo
- Kelley's raw honey
- Pyure (for my coffee)
- HEB Cafe Ole' Taste of San Antonio (regular and water-processed decaf)
- HEB Kettle Cooked variety pack (for our trip)
- Tortilla chips
- 2 bags of veggie straws (one regular and one ranch)
- 2, 12 packs of La Croix
- HEB Organics whole grain animal cookies
- HEB Organics Cheddar Frogeez
- Triscuits
- 100% whole wheat hamburger buns
- 100% whole wheat hot dog buns
- 2 loaves of 100% whole wheat bread
- 20ct Aguilar flour tortillas (these taste homemade!)
- 2 dozen Farmhouse Eggs (we had just under 2 dozen eggs still)
- 5lb bag of organic carrots
- Bunch of bananas
- 4 broccoli crowns
- 3 colored bell peppers
- Large bag (1lb) of chopped kale (to freeze for smoothies)
- 4 pears
- 3 zucchinis
- 2 yellow squash
- 2 acorn squash
- 4 sweet potatoes
- 3lb bag of gala apples
- 1 bag of brussel sprouts
- 1 container of leaf lettuce (locally and hydroponically grown)
- 1 package sweet tomatoes
- Lime juice
(We still have some apples, oranges, cut up celery, a cucumber, some tomatoes, avocados, quite a few russet potatoes, 3 sweet potatoes, several onions, and a little bit of cut up carrots and broccoli.)
- My beloved Coke Zero
- A Gingerbread house kit for the kids and their cousins while we're in New Mexico
We will have to buy some food when we get to my in-laws, but we aren't counting that in our grocery budget (we'll be splitting everything among in-laws). We're just counting that as traveling expense (because otherwise we would be eating out).
I also bought some Kodiak Cakes Power Cakes mix with an Amazon Gift card (that I won't count because it was as a gift). Haha. This should last a long time. I cannot wait to make Banana Chocolate Chip Power Cakes! I found out about this stuff in my HHHM group. I ordered it right away with the gift card, then I found it at HEB today when I was there! Next time I'll just buy it at HEB!
I feel like, overall, I did well! I am picky about a few brands of things (aren't we all), but I try to stick with HEB brand and non-organic (mostly) because it is cheapest. The only things I bought organically were because they were close to the same price, or because that was the only way they sold the product (like the pre-packaged "frogeez" and animal cookies).
Check back for my next Grocery Geek post! Next up, Working the Program.

Woodbury Middle School students headed outside last week – not for exercise, but for cooking.
On May 22, sixth graders put into practice solar ovens that they have spent the last three weeks designing and building. The ovens were used to cook s'mores.
"It really applies math and science to a real situation," said sixth grade science teacher Dave Rafferty. "It challenges all students to step up their game."
The solar oven project is part of a five-year grant through the University of Minnesota.
The University of Minnesota's STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Education Center received an $8 million grant from the National Science Foundation in order to partner with 200 Twin Cities metro-area teachers to increase science and math learning through engineering for 15,000 students in fourth through eighth grades.
Rafferty, along with roughly a dozen other District 833 teachers, participated in professional development and curriculum writing workshops last summer where students worked to develop classroom curriculum focused on science concepts, meaningful data analysis and measurement.
Each classroom that is a part of EngTEAMS, Engineering to Transform the Education of Analysis, Measurement, and Science, assigned its students a real-world engineering scenario that students had to develop a solution for.
In Rafferty's class, students were tasked with designing functioning solar ovens for children in Afghanistan who are unable to collect enough firewood.
Rafferty said the concept is based on an organization that designs solar ovens for developing countries.
Rafferty's students studied the solar ovens as part of their heat transfer unit.
After learning the concepts related to the solar ovens, students then went to work identifying which materials and what designs to use for their solar ovens.
In addition to designing the ovens in accordance with certain dimensions, students also had to use materials that fell within a certain budget, much like a real-world situation.
Some of the materials used for the solar ovens included cardboard, foil, felt, plastic, tag board and bubble wrap.
The goal was to heat the solar ovens to at least a temperature of 150 degrees.
Rafferty said nearly 80 percent of the ovens reached 150 degrees when used under heat lamps, but outdoors, where the variables are more uncontrolled, roughly 50 percent of the ovens achieved the appropriate temperature. One oven actually reached 180 degrees.
"We really emphasize that failure is not a bad thing," Rafferty said. "You're learning every single step of the way.
"Plus, nine out of 10 times engineers fail at things."
Rafferty said the solar oven project is a great learning activity for students because it teaches them how to apply math and science concepts, teaches them record keeping and communication and forces students to work in teams.
"It's a very well rounded curriculum; it's an all-encompassing activity," he said. "There's multiple ways that students can shine."

|Cherry Blossoms–a sure sign of Spring Break in D.C.!
The kids are on Spring Break this week. I really love having them all home; I actually feel like it makes my days easier and more fun when they're all here.
There are downsides, of course. I've been running the dishwasher at least twice, sometimes three times a day, every day, all week. The kids like to change clothes a lot and they put clean clothes they've only worn for an hour in the hamper almost every time they change, then I have to pick through the laundry and give them back clean things to put away before I can take the dirty clothes to the laundry room. I've had to replace the toilet paper rolls and the paper towel roll about twice as often this week.
But I'll take those annoyances, because I've also watched as B and G created "Sibling Scouts", then each took a younger child (B with Q and G with O) aside to do a project or activity with them. I watched Gabe sit down and silently read to himself. We've played quite a few card games and board games and read a lot of books out loud. We've watched several movies. We've played outside, although not very much because it is unseasonably cold. It's been a really relaxed week just hanging around the house.
All morning today, though, I felt really unsettled and anxious and found myself getting mad at the kids for no real reason. I was yelling a lot and grumbling under my breath over nothing major.
I had a talk with myself over a cup of peppermint tea while the kids were playing and tried to figure out what my problem was.
Honestly, my problem turned out to be that I suck at relaxing.
Usually I try to get a LOT of stuff done on the kids' school breaks. I think of projects to keep them busy, to keep me busy, to occupy our time. This break, I didn't do that. We haven't done a painting or craft project all week. I haven't cleaned out or reorganized a single drawer or cabinet. I haven't sewed or knitted or spray painted anything. We haven't even baked cookies. We haven't gone anywhere cool, like the zoo or in to DC to see the cherry blossoms or even the park around the corner. We haven't really left the house much at all.
I've done normal, every day things–laundry, bed-making, dish-washing–puttering chores that I do everyday. I've done normal fun stuff–reading, card games, board games, movies. But in my head, this week was not supposed to be normal. It's SPRING BREAK. We have to GET STUFF DONE. We have to GO PLACES.
But we aren't. We're just playing and cleaning and hanging out. Nothing extra, nothing more than normal life. And for some reason that made me uncomfortable.
But instead of jumping in to projects and relieving my anxiety, I decided to try to chill the heck out. Every school break does not need to be made into a major event of fun! and reorganization!
The boys are napping. I may read a book while they sleep, I may fold laundry. I will not see what needs to be spray painted or organized or rearranged. When they wake up, we may watch another movie.
What about you–do you ever have trouble just relaxing? How do you cope?
