Bob Baldwin: BobBaldwin.com
Review: Trying to establish self, Bob Baldwin is one that time has tested. Having worked with artists the likes of Roberta Flack, Grover Washington, Jr., Will Downing and Joe Sample, time and experience offer the firm foundation on which Bob now stands. Ripped off or disrespected even after the writing of music for the '96 Olympics in his hometown of Atlanta Georgia, Bob chose to go it alone this time and take this dotcom thing full-on, straight-up and serious. Mmmm. What a way to control the corporate raiders ruled by the ethics of money, not art.
Having done this, artsy, bluesy, funky, moody, but sho' nuff jazz, BobBaldwin.com , the seventh CD from the keyboards of Bob Baldwin, is a statement of perseverance, inner pressure to succeed and an acute knowledge of the tools of modern society. This CD is music born of the double click. "I'll MP3 you this, you add to or take away." "Check your email!" Bits and bytes on the frequent flyer program, Bob found it more advantageous to be hot-wired than hot-headed. In my 8 CD a month, jazz bingeing opinion, Bob has cut and pasted together the best CD I've heard thus far this year. Chords interlaced with chords, more poly-phonic than poly-technic, phrases added with verse, BobBaldwin.com is a network of smooth grooves interfaced with good times and ambiance. I have argued with the eject button of my Pioneered and low Bosed, 5-speed stereo system every morning since buying this CD last week.
Slip slid BobBaldwin.com into that four wheeled, digital downloader you have parked in the driveway and you've jazz started a party. Loeb, Meadows, Albright, Browne, Marienthal, White, James, all the boys jump into the back seat and above the trunk, cramming the space between fabric and glass. How do they get in the doors? Melody helps.
An a.m. warm-up of track one, a cover of another Dionne Warwick hit, "Never Can Say Goodbye" serves as the brew to track two. "Good Morning, Love" is Bob's way of bop bouncing the sugar in the bottom of your cup holder's coffee to saturation. Bob's the boss of this Funky Onion published production. City Sketches' copyrights mark the time. It's a shame how things and folks get overlooked by the speed of money and time. Here one minute, gone the next, "fries with that shake?" The almighty dollar is about the only thing I know that time favors, so, I guess it makes sense that one should set their clocks to the time of making money and forge their own "American way".
Other cuts like "eSmooth" "Yea Baby", and "Westchester Dreamin'", the latter featuring Dean James' background satisfying sax noise, add to the melodic mixture of matured dreams and life long friendships for brother Bob.
Case in point. Track three is entitled "Funkin' For Jamaica". Need I say more smoothies? Bob helps Tom Browne from the corporate bench and sachet's in Tom's mouth piece, Tonnie Smith. He un-bothers his man Marion Meadows, cajoles Gerald Albright, and fires-up Freddy Vigdor, all three to sax up the joint, and download complete, one of our favorite tunes is brought back to life. True and real, this song ain't no cover! The entrance two note toot from Tom Browne last week at Bob's concert in Norfolk, VA let every know Tom was back to toe-tappin' us again.
Track six, "If You Insist", is the corporate sound of Bob Baldwin. His distinctive piano playing is noted by the flight of his fingers. Listen as Bob does his best impression of what legends like Lewis, Benoit, Bob Jamesand Joe Sample set in stone. Baldwin doesn't pound out a song. You have to hear the conversation that takes place in between the notes to garner a full grasp of what this CD insists you do.
Frustrated by the institutional inertia encapsulated within the music industry and buoyed by the arguments concerning the flux between art and jazz, money and madness, Bob's asks us to take up his cause and click over to his site (bobbaldwin.com) or come along for the ride given us by his new CD, "BobBaldwin.com". The last two clicks...err, I mean tracks on this CD, "Chatroom" and "Web Surfer" sum up Bob's mission statement perfectly. Additional songs, 7, "Being With You", 9, "Back At One", and 10 "West Side Highway" showcase Bob's ability to backlit bar and smoke filled room. Full of tone and texture, these three cuts could stand alone while sitting on the couch with just two tall glasses and a pair of long legs for company.
On talking with him about his new CD, I've found Bob to be right when he says that computers have permeated the core of the question human. No where can you go in today's industrialized or even "marginal" societies without interacting with a chip or two along the way. The microchip has become the dollar and Bob's taking his piece of the pie. This is the essence of BobBaldwin.com , a self-financed dive into the "do it yourself" world of http, e-commerce and self-assuredness.
I'm sure I'll enjoy this friendship between myself and "BobBaldwin.com". I'm also sure that you will too!

Oliver and Penny fell into cider making almost by accident; Oliver is an international metal sculptor who, in 2006 needed a barn outside of a village to craft his sculptures, this barn happened to have 3000 prime cider apple trees under a Gaymers contract usefully attached. They began making a small amount of cider right away. With a passion for crafting something new, innovation and a history of engineering, horticulture and working on the land Oliver and Penny threw themselves at the orchards. However once finding the contract would never work, Penny asked if they could send less apples to Gaymers; they said "all or nothing", so with the help of their five children they quit the contract and began making cider commercially. Since then Dorset Nectar Cider has gone from strength to strength, winning many local and prestigious awards year on year crafting new cider blends and always trying something new.
We use only the best quality apples from our own orchards and local growers who have a great understanding and reputation for quality
Dorset Nectar Cider now produces 10 different ciders made with a passion for the traditional methods of heritage cider making in Dorset and the art that comes with years of DIY, research, a love for a refreshing wholesome cider and lots of late night cider tastings, producing bench mark ciders that continue to impress a larger audience year on year…

Kundalini and Vedanta
Shanti: Hello, James. When I came back from the seminar, the person I told you about came to see me. He had a rising kundalini (automatic mudras and bandhas) and a vision of the self as pure consciousness, last week. He stayed in our center for two days because he wasn't able to work. He was quite confused about what happened and needed help, so I taught him what I know. He is learning very fast. I answer his questions and the next day he has deep knowledge about the topic. He has very few thoughts. His sadhana is taking a stand in awareness as awareness. His jiva is very pure and sattvic. I think he is safe: he knows he is awareness.
He told me that Vedanta is a tremendous help. Yesterday I told him about the three states. And probably tomorrow he will give me feedback. His words are very wise now and he has a lot a of energy: he didn't say anything, but a work colleague quit eating meat even though he was eating it three times a day.
I just wanted to share this play of Isvara with you. Thank you for being an instrument to bring self-knowledge to us. We appreciate that very much! I learned so much from giving him advice, guiding him through this process. The seminar was so wonderful and a big help.
I wish you all the best.
~ OM, Shanti
James: He is lucky that Isvara brought him to you, as kundalini is generally a very disturbing, disorienting experience. People who aren't blessed with a proper teaching are often confused for many years – some never figure it out. It makes sense in light of the knowledge of one's self as awareness, not jiva. Very interesting story.
~ Love, James

The Gold Standard at Holsteins
This is the best 17-dollar burger I've ever had.
Holsteins' flagship burger is made with 21-day dry aged beef, which sounds fancy but what does it mean? It means the cow on this bun has a bold, powerful, slightly mineral taste, and it may or may not be your thing, but it sure is different and interesting. I like it. I don't even think it needs as many toppings to complement the beefy flavor, but here's what you also get on the Gold Standard: smoky bacon, tomato confit, goat cheddar cheese, arugula and a tangy garlic-chive mayo. It's pretty perfect in terms of texture and bite-to-bite variation.
This is a fancy burger, but we are noticing that when you're at a fancy burger joint on the Strip, sometimes fancy goes bad. Frequently, actually. Not at Holsteins.

Ideas for the perfect honeymoon on a tight budget
You've made it down the aisle, and the hype and excitement of your wedding day is over. After months of preparation, you and your brand new husband or wife are ready to take off the fancy clothes, ditch the family and spend a week somewhere quiet and peaceful where you never have to talk about flower arrangements or matching accessories again.
But after blowing your budget on a fabulous wedding, how do you give yourselves the honeymoon you deserve without breaking the bank? Here are a few ideas for the ultimate post-wedding holiday on a budget.
Do something you both enjoy
There's a myth that your honeymoon has to be a lavish affair, complete with daily couple's massages and extravagant poolside spa treatments – and while everyone loves a bit of luxury, it's easy for things to get out of control when it comes to vacation spending. So the perfect honeymoon is really about finding something that you and your partner both enjoy.
It could be hiking in the Rockies or visiting friends in a new city if you want to keep it local, or exploring ancient Mayan ruins in Mexico for something a little more exotic. By being honest about what you both want from a honeymoon, you're sure to find a vacation that you're both excited about.
It's the little things
A honeymoon doesn't have to be about luxury hotels and big extravagant gesture of love (you already had one of those – it's called a wedding). Do nice things for your new husband or wife: order room service in bed, take them out to dinner at the best restaurant in town, or buy them a little souvenir of your trip.
A honeymoon – like a marriage – is all about doing little things that make a big difference.
Take the road less traveled
It's often easier to find good deals on vacation places that are either off the beaten track or in an off-peak period. For example, Oahu is less expensive than Hawaii, and you can get a good deal if you go during off season.
In the Caribbean, it's easy to get a good deal on vacation packages in Aruba and the Caribbean. Do your research and planning and check online travel sites and advice forums to get the best deals.
Remember, the most important part of the honeymoon – and the whole wedding experience – is to celebrate your love for one another and enjoy the beginning of your married life. Years from now, you won't remember the resort or the beach or the mountains as much as you will remember what it felt like to be newly married to someone you love.
There are many people around the world who've gotten married thanks to the eHarmony website. By matching you with singles who are compatible with your lifestyle, it means you will only see people you are likely to get on with.
If you're one of those Saskatoon singles looking for someone truly compatible, head online today – and who knows? You could be booking your own honeymoon very soon.

Not the super hero kind - the stylish, fashionable one is what I'm talking about. After watching last nights The Bachelor I am inspired to go out and buy a cape (poncho). The only issue is it's currently 80 degrees in Arizona and just about 70 degrees on the east coast. I absolutely hate winter but love to buy coats, scarves and anything winter. Its madness I know. I totally want to add one of these capes (ponchos) to my winter collection for next year. Here are my top favorites from Asos!

It is great news for the villages of Bempton and Hunmanby as the new improved regular hourly train service on the Yorkshire Wolds Coast Railway will see all trains now call at these local stations, Bempton famous for its premier bird nesting colony, and Hunmanby as Yorkshire's largest village with a large industrial estate close to the station.
The consultation was restricted to stakeholders, I only found out by chance due to North Yorkshire County Council publishing their response on the internet. We had been promised an improved hourly service, but I was baffled how these important stops could be missed out, when all trains on the line had stopped at Bempton and Hunmanby for the past 30 years.
Hunmanby station had seen the highest passenger growth on the line (90%) in 10 years, and RSPB Bempton has seen major investment, and visitor numbers rise dramatically, the train being an ideal way to arrive to minimize impact on the natural environment.
The local community was alerted, and have been writing in with their views, many local people and businesses from the industrial estate, like Humprenco, who employ over 125 people on their site, our local MP Kevin Hollinrake and Scarborough Council Portfolio Holder for Stategic Transport and ICT, Cllr John Nock, along with Graham North from North Yorkshire County Council who has pressed the case for Bempton and Hunmanby to be given the hourly train service they need to access work, education, hospitals and leisure.
The railway service was on the agenda at the Hunmanby Parish Council meeting, so the village can celebrate that taking the effort to write in to this consultation has had an effect and for Northern Railways, listening and promptly putting the missing stops back in their draft timetable.
What we now need is a copy of the revised draft timetable so that employers on the industrial estate know well in advance what the new service will look like for travel to work opportunities.
For the NHS, as Hunmanby Surgery is struggling to manage the highest level of chronic illness in the country. So an improved hourly train service to Hull and its hospitals, where many go for treatment can be promoted as a viable alternative to hospital transport, begging a lift or a tiring journey driving your car.
For tourism, so that local Bed and Breakfast accommodation, public houses, caravan and holiday parks locally, know well in advance of the improved hourly train service with an earlier and later train to and from Scarborough.
For education, so that the higher education establishments in Scarborough and Bridlington can highlight the improved rail service to next year's potential students.
The future looks very positive for the local stations and I'm sure passenger numbers will now rise dramatically, to warrant out improved train service from May 2018.

On Sunday, the vast majority of attendees at the 2018 Golden Globes wore black to bring attention to many issues, including gender inequality via the Time's Up movement. Still, when the time came to announce the nominees for Best Director, there was not a single woman on the list. Evidently, this disconnect did not escape the attention of Natalie Portman, who instantly made one of the most iconic moments of the night when she introduced the candidates by saying, "And here are the all-male nominees."
The audience responded by collectively making the "ooh-burn" sound. Meanwhile, Portman's searing one-line indictment quickly became the talk of Twitter. Although Portman left her critique at that, the Golden Globes wasn't finished having its gender imbalance raked over the coals. To introduce Barbra Streisand, who was presenting the award for Best Picture, the announcer made sure to emphasize that she was the only woman to have ever won a Golden Globe for Best Director. (She won for directing Yentl.)
Streisand immediately seized the opportunity to comment. "So backstage I heard they said something about my — I was the only woman to get, did I hear it right, yes, the only woman to get the Best Director award," she said. "And, you know, that was 1984? That was 34 years ago? Folks, time's up. We need more women directors and more women to be nominated for director. There are so many films out there that are so good directed by women." (Greta Gerwig as the director of this year's Lady Bird comes to mind.)
"Anyway, I'm very proud to stand in a room with people who speak out against gender inequality, sexual harassment, and the pettiness that has poisoned our politics," Streisand continued. "And I'm proud that our industry faced with uncomfortable truths has vowed to change the way we do business. Truth is powerful, and in a really good film, we recognized the truth about ourselves, about others, and it's so powerful that it can even change people's minds, touch people's hearts, and ultimately even change society, itself." Although she concluded her speech by transitioning to the Best Picture nominees, her main point won't be forgotten anytime soon.

In many regions of the world liberalized energy markets have introduced the phenomenon of trading to electricity sectors and trading is enabled by coupling electricity markets with network interconnections.
These interconnections can link separate power systems within a country, or connect the national grids of separate countries. Coupled electricity markets require stable, controlled power flows for electricity trading to work effectively, or at all and this is obtained using HVDC technology.
Electrical networks in separate countries can evolve quite differently, and may have very different standards and technologies. DC is the only possible technical solution when interconnecting energy markets that operate at different frequencies (asynchronous), or are otherwise incompatible, allowing them to exchange power without requiring the tight coordination of a synchronous network.
Furthermore, HVDC interconnections help to reduce system losses, increase transmission capacity, improve power quality and helps to integrate more renewable power into the energy mix.
Offering increased reliability and security of electricity supply with HVDC Light

Dixon writes that recent decades have seen an exciting convergence of anti-authoritarian radicalism and broader based movements in our part of the world. From this convergence, diverse activists such as anti-poverty organizers, prison abolitionists, occupy activists and migrant justice organizers are developing shared politics and practices. He has interviewed dozens of experienced organizers across the U.S. and Canada.
Originally from Alaska, Dixon currently lives in Ottawa, Canada, on Algonquin Territory, where he is involved in anti-poverty organizing. He travels across the United States and Canada training people to engage in direct non-violent action when protesting. He was instrumental in organizing the 1999 Seattle protest against the World Trade Organization. Dixon then went back to school and received his Ph.D. in 2010, through the History of Consciousness program at the University of California in Santa Cruz.
Dr. Timothy Ingalsbee, a sociologist and social science teacher, knows Dr. Dixon through his book and is a great admirer of the author/activist. Ingalsbee relates how organizations leading radical social change movements can be strengthened by coming together, by converging with other protests since they share the same ideals and beliefs. "Dr. Dixon has spent years travelling across North America to combine ideas and distill common themes and principles motivating their work," Ingalsbee said.
Dr. Dixon will present a public lecture at Lane, also titled "Another Politics." Stan Taylor, LCC coordinator for the event, tells how separate social movements have grown up and how the book explains that one large movement creates strength in numbers. According to Taylor, the book allows the reader to feel as if they are a part of today's radical movements, helping to identify key points of convergence between movements and the possible directions for social justice. The goal is to distill hard-earned lessons for building effective, visionary movements.
The "Another Politics" event will be held on Nov. 10 from 1-3 p.m. at the LCC Longhouse, Building 31. More information on Dr. Dixon is available on his blog at www.cdixon.org.

Whenever I feel a sore throat or cold coming on, I immediately start drinking this natural cold and sore throat remedy drink that a friend told me about (It's also all over Pinterest). It soothes a sore throat almost immediately.
- 12 oz. of hot water
- 2 Tbs. honey
- 2 Tbs. lemon juice
- 2 Tbs. Bragg's raw apple cider vinegar
- dash of cinnamon
Directions: Mix it all together and drink up. I use my Keurig to heat the water easily and quickly, but you could also use a tea kettle.
I actually enjoy the taste, but people I've recommended it to have not—but it's worth the benefits and soothing a sore throat!

Earth Day is just a few days away! It has never been more paramount to bring awareness to the efforts of environmental leaders working to ensure our planet's future. While there are plenty of ways to improve the environment on land, it is important to raise awareness to the threats to our beloved oceans! World Oceans Day is June 8th and Earth Day Texas has chosen the ocean as the theme for this year's event.
"The ocean is the cornerstone of earth's life support system, it shapes climate and weather." – Sylvia Earle
This weekend marks the 7th annual Earth Day Texas festival in Dallas! Earth Day Texas brings together innovative environmental thinkers and business professional to create positive sustainable solutions. The three-day exposition, which is free to the public, will include educational workshops and panels, interactive experiences, sustainable food and drink and a brand-new film festival highlighting noteworthy environmental documentaries. Earth Day Texas will raise awareness to the many threats to our planet's oceans through initiatives and panels such as Project D.E.E.P. and the Plasticity Forum.

I want to inspire you to become DoubleOrganic, and to incorporate the aspects of DoubleOrganic into your daily life so that you can experience outstanding health!
Simply put, DoubleOrganic means getting more out of your life!
To become DoubleOrganic we must have a good strong base, and a triangle or pyramid is one of the strongest geometric shapes. The four elements: Earth(food), Air(breathing), Fire(sun) and Water(hydration) plus a balance of the two aspects: Work(physical activity) and Rest make up the six areas of DoubleOrganic Health. The six areas of DoubleOrganic Health make up the DoubleOrganic Pyramid of Health.
At the top of the DoubleOrganic Pyramid of Health, also called the Primary Level, is Earth(food). This is the first critical element that the earth offers us – We need to put the proper food into our body(our temple) to get the most out of life. The best fuel needs to go into our engine, we want a smooth running machine that never quits!
The Secondary Level of the DoubleOrganic Pyramid of Health is all about balance – a balance between Work(physical activity) and Rest. Too much work and we cant recover and we get run down, too much rest and we have no change or growth. For a vibrant life we must be active enough to make the body adapt and then rest enough to recover.
The Tertiary Level of the DoubleOrganic Pyramid of Health is comprised of the last 3 critical elements that the earth offers that we require for optimal health, Air, Fire, and Water. Air refers to both the quality of the air we breath as well as proper breathing techniques, the Fire is the sun which is very important for the health of our body, and it also feeds the plants that feed us, the Water is the last element of health and because it makes up a large percentage of our bodies we must drink pure water to have a pure body. These three elements may be at the bottom of the pyramid but they make up the strong support system that is the base of the DoubleOrganic Pyramid of Health. They make up the environment that we live in and work together synergistically to either promote health or take it away. If the Air is polluted, or if the Fire is lacking due to geographical location or lifestyle, and if the Water is tainted we can never achieve optimal heath.
Together, the three levels make up the DoubleOrganic Pyramid of Health. If one aspect or element is neglected the strength of the pyramid is forfeit. Strive for balance in your life and within the six areas of health that make up the DoubleOrganic Pyramid of Health and become…

Effects of Hurricane Isabel in Virginia
The effects of Hurricane Isabel in Virginia proved to be the costliest disaster in the history of Virginia.[1] Hurricane Isabel formed from a tropical wave on September 6, 2003 in the tropical Atlantic Ocean. It moved northwestward, and within an environment of light wind shear and warm waters it steadily strengthened to reach peak winds of 265 km/h (165 mph) on September 11. After fluctuating in intensity for four days, Isabel gradually weakened and made landfall on the Outer Banks of North Carolina with winds of 165 km/h (105 mph) on September 18. It quickly weakened over land as it passed through central Virginia, and Isabel became extratropical over western Pennsylvania on September 19.

|Areas affected
|Part of the 2003 Atlantic hurricane season
Strong winds from the hurricane affected 99 counties and cities in the state,[1][2] which downed thousands of trees and left about 1.8 million without power. The storm surge impacted much of the southeastern portion of the state, peaking at around 9 feet (2.7 m) in Richmond along the James River; the surge caused significant damage to homes along riverways. The nationwide maximum rainfall total from the hurricane was 20.2 inches (513 mm) in Sherando, Virginia. In the state's mountainous region, heavy rainfall caused severe and damaging flash flooding. The hurricane caused about $1.85 billion (2003 USD, $2.17 billion 2008 USD) in damage and 36 deaths in the state—10 directly from the storm's effects and 26 indirectly related.[3]
By four days before Isabel made landfall, most weather models predicted Isabel to make landfall between North Carolina and New Jersey.[4][5] Initially, forecasters predicted it to move along the coastline of the Chesapeake Bay,[4] though as the hurricane neared land the predicted track was much closer to where it ultimately was. The National Hurricane Center issued a hurricane watch from the North Carolina/Virginia border to Chincoteague near its border with Maryland about 50 hours before Isabel struck land, including the southern portion of the Chesapeake Bay. 18 hours before the hurricane made landfall, the National Hurricane Center upgraded the watch to a hurricane warning for the entire coastline.[6] Additionally, inland hurricane and tropical storm warnings were issued for south-central Virginia. The Wakefield National Weather Service office issued three tornado warnings for four counties, though none became tornadoes. The office also issued two county-wide flood warnings and 43 flood warnings and flood statements for various river basins.[7]
The Virginia Emergency Management Agency was activated on September 15, about three days prior to Isabel making landfall and entering the state. Officials in Hampton issued the first mandatory evacuation in the state on September 17, about 35 hours prior to landfall. Eleven hours later, a mandatory evacuation was issued for some residents in Chesapeake, Norfolk, and Virginia Beach, with a recommended evacuation for some residents in the city of Suffolk and Isle of Wight, Northumberland, Richmond, and York counties. Later on September 17 Governor Mark Warner provided authorization for all recommended evacuations to become mandatory. By the time Isabel entered Virginia late on September 18, evacuations were also issued for Accomack County, Chincoteague, Gloucester County, Lancaster County, Mathews County, Newport News, Poquoson, Portsmouth, and Westmoreland County. The zones ordered to evacuate included residents along waterfronts, in areas prone to flooding, potentially affected by storm surge from a Category 2 hurricane, low-lying areas, health care facilities, or islands. The tools officials used to determine the evacuation zones included shelter locations, the SLOSH storm surge model, evacuation maps, and clearance times.[8]
Despite the orders, a relatively small number of people evacuated for the hurricane. According to a telephone survey conducted by the United States Department of Commerce, the highest participation rate was for residents in the Northern Neck in areas potentially affected by the storm surge from a Category 2 hurricane, of which 41% in the survey stated they left their houses for a safer location. In Surry, only 9% of those in a Category 2 hurricane storm surge zone left. 30% who participated in the survey along the Eastern Shore left. The primary reasons for the choice whether to evacuate or not were due to the track of Isabel, its strength, or influence from the media. Most participants in the survey stated they did not hear any sort of evacuation notice from public officials in their location, however. Of those who evacuated, about 64% left for the house of a friend or a relative, with about 24% evacuating to a hotel or a motel. Most of those in Hampton and Norfolk left for elsewhere in the state, while the majority of those in the Northern Neck evacuated to destinations in their own neighborhood or community. The evacuation destinations on the Eastern Shore of Virginia were varied, with 23% leaving for Maryland and 46% staying in their own neighborhood or community. The length of the evacuation process varied between a few hours to two days, with the worst evacuation problems being closed or flooded roads.[8] The Virginia Army National Guard and State Police troopers assisted in the evacuations.[9] In all, more than 160,000 residents in southeastern Virginia were told to evacuate, including 11,000 in vulnerable locations along the Chesapeake Bay[10] and all residents in mobile home parks in Chesapeake and Newport News.[11] A total of about 16,325 people evacuated to 67 shelters. Some of the reported problems were shortages of supplies, unanticipated medical issues, overcrowding, and lack of security.[8]
United States Navy officials in Norfolk ordered more than 40 destroyers, frigates, and amphibious ships out to sea to avoid any potential damage from the hurricane.[12] Officials at the Langley Air Force Base in Hampton ordered about 6,000 workers to evacuate elsewhere, due to its vulnerability to flooding.[10] About 350 National Guard workers assisted boat owners in the southeastern portion of the state. In Mathews County, two boat owners experienced fatal heart attacks as they worked to protect their boats. Officials distributed sandbags throughout the state for residents in flood-prone areas, including about 10,000 in the city of Alexandria.[13] Prior to the arrival of the hurricane, the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel was closed, as were all campgrounds along the Blue Ridge Parkway and the primary parkway in Roanoke.[9] In Chincoteague, the famous Chincoteague Ponies were moved by volunteer firefighters to grounds of about 20 feet (6.1 m) higher. Officials closed schools, government offices, and businesses across the eastern portion of the state, leaving usually heavily congested roads as empty streets. Additionally, officials canceled trains along the Washington Metro, the Virginia Railway Express, and Amtrak lines, and several flights in and out of the Richmond International Airport.[13]
Throughout the state, Hurricane Isabel resulted in a damage total of $1.85 billion (2003 USD, $2.17 billion 2008 USD).[3] The hurricane destroyed more than 1,186 homes and 77 businesses, severely damaged 9,110 homes and 333 businesses, and left 107,908 homes and over 1,000 businesses with minor damage. Across the state, the hurricane generated an estimated 660,000 dump trucks of debris. At least ten people were directly killed by the storm, and hundreds more were injured.[14] A total of 1.8 million electrical customers were left without power,[7] with electrical damage totaling $128 million (2003 USD, $150 million 2008 USD).[14] Dominion Virginia Power reported 2,311 broken utility poles, 3,899 snapped crossarms, and 7,363 spans of downed power lines, with 72% of its primary distribution circuits damaged.[15] The passage of the hurricane resulted in an agricultural damage total of about $117 million (2003 USD, $137 million 2008 USD).[14]
Hampton Roads Metropolitan Area and Delmarva PeninsulaEdit
Along the Eastern Shore of Virginia, Isabel produced sustained winds reaching 50 mph (80 km/h) with gusts to 62 mph (100 km/h) at Wallops Island. Higher unofficial gusts were recorded, including a peak reading of 71 mph (114 km/h) in Chincoteague. Rainfall was fairly light, with 2 inches (51 mm) recorded in Heathsville.[16] On Fisherman Island, the hurricane produced a 4.26-foot (1.3-m) storm surge, flooding much of the island. The combination of the surge and waves resulted in minor beach erosion and overwash.[17] Northampton County reported $10 million in crop damage (2003 USD, $12 million 2008 USD).[1] One person died in Accomack County when a tree fell on his mobile home.[7]
In the Hampton Roads region, Isabel produced a high storm surge, including reports of 7.5 feet (2.3 m) at the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel and a peak of 8.3 feet (2.5 m) at Gloucester Point. Unofficially higher amounts included an estimate of 10.75 feet (3.28 m) at Smithfield.[6] In some locations, the surge surpassed the previous record set by the 1933 Chesapeake-Potomac Hurricane.[16] Despite being classified as a hurricane while crossing the state, sustained winds only peaked at 70 mph (110 km/h) at Gloucester Point, 4 mph (6.4 km/h) less than minimum hurricane intensity. Hurricane-force wind gusts were recorded at multiple locations, with a 91 mph (146 km/h) reading at Gloucester Point and unofficial reports peaking at 107 mph (172 km/h) on Gwynn's Island.[6] Additionally, Chesapeake Light, located 12 miles (19 km) east of Virginia Beach, reported a peak wind gust of 107 mph (172 km/h). The hurricane produced heavy rainfall in the Hampton Roads area, reaching 10.6 inches (270 mm) at James City.[16] The outer rainbands of Isabel spawned a 150-foot (46 m) wide F0 tornado in Nottoway County near Crewe, the only confirmed tornado during the passage of the hurricane. However, many people in the city of Norfolk reported that there was a tornado in that city as well. The tornado lasted a short amount of time and caused no known damage.[18][19] Strong waves, which reached 20 feet (6.1 m) in height offshore, caused severe beach erosion in Hampton, Newport News, and other locations along the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay.[16]
In Virginia Beach, the 15th Street fishing pier was significantly damaged due to intense wave action. Likewise the historic Harrison's Pier in the Ocean View area of Norfolk was completely destroyed. Many private piers and some public ones along the coastline were destroyed or damaged from the waves and storm surge, including a destroyed pier each in Buckroe Beach and Lynnhaven.[16] Moderate winds caused light damage to roofs and siding of oceanfront homes and hotels. In Virginia Beach, beach erosion and coastal flooding was minimal, credited due to a $125 million beach expansion project.[20] Several bridges in the Hampton Roads area were closed due to the hurricane.[9] The strong storm surge surpassed the floodgate to the Midtown Tunnel while workers attempted to close the gate. About 44 million US gallons (170,000 m3) of water from the Elizabeth River flooded the tunnel entirely in just 40 minutes, with the workers barely able to escape. The flooding left the tunnel damaged and closed for nearly a month.[21]
Heavy rainfall led to moderate to severe inland flooding, with high waters reported along U.S. Route 460 in Prince George County, U.S. Route 17, and several other roads. The rainfall led to river flooding, including minor to moderate flooding along the Rivanna and James Rivers, moderate flooding along the Appomattox River, and moderate to major flooding along the Meherrin, Nottoway, and Blackwater Rivers.[16] In Isle of Wight County, a driver attempted to cross high water on the James River Bridge and was killed when the water washed the car off of the road.[7]
The unusually large wind field uprooted many thousands of trees, downed many power lines, damaged hundreds of houses, and snapped thousands of telephone poles and cross arms. Hundreds of roads, including major highways, were blocked by fallen trees.[22] An emergency evacuation shelter in Newport News reported minor wind damage.[8] Two people in the region died due to falling trees—one in New Kent County and one in the city of Hopewell.[7] Power outages left most traffic lights not working across Hampton Roads, resulting in multiple minor car accidents. Additionally, most gas stations were closed, due to power outages leaving the pumps unusable.[20] Old Dominion University remained closed for two weeks due to storm damage and power issues, the longest it has ever been closed during a school term. Likewise, Norfolk State University, Regent University, Tidewater Community College and Eastern Virginia Medical School all experienced significant closing times due to both storm damage and a lack of electricity.
Funnel clouds were reported along the Northern Neck.[18] The hurricane produced a strong storm surge across northern Virginia, reaching 9.5 feet (2.9 m) in Alexandria.[14] Rainfall was light across the region, with amounts varying between 1–3 inches (25–75 mm).[23]
The storm surge washed out 160 homes and 60 condominiums in Fairfax County, with an additional 2,000 units reporting minor to severe damage from the flooding. In Stafford County, the surge destroyed five marinas and broke many boats free from their docks, while in Alexandria it flooded numerous businesses and severely impacting marinas. One section of CSX Transportation railway tracks in Prince William County collapsed into the Potomac River from the surge.[14]
Gusty winds downed several trees across Alexandria, causing about $2 million in damage (2003 USD, $2.3 million 2008 USD).[14] In Arlington County, flooding and downed trees destroyed two houses and damaged 192 homes, 46 severely. The storm surge flooded a parking lot at the Reagan National Airport. Damage in the county totaled $2.5 million (2003 USD, $2.9 million 2008 USD).[14] Falling trees caused major damage to 15 homes in the city of Fairfax, and damage throughout Fairfax County totaled $18 million (2003 USD, $21 million 2008 USD).[14] Four homes and 20 businesses in King George County were severely damaged, with an additional 150–200 reporting lesser damage from winds and falling trees. Gusty winds forced the closure of the Governor Harry W. Nice Memorial Bridge.[14] In Prince William County, seven homes were destroyed, with 24 homes and three businesses experiencing major damage. Several roads were closed due to downed trees. The Marine Corps Base Quantico reported severe damage amounting to $9.5 million (2003 USD, $11 million 2008 USD). Damage included a destroyed marina from flooding, with falling trees damaging buildings and vehicles.[14] Additionally, fallen trees severely damaged 31 homes and caused minor damage to 68 more in Stafford County.[14] The roof of a shelter in Mathews County was partially blown off.[8] A power outage in Northumberland County caused the NOAA Weather Radio Station in Heathsville to go off the air during the height of the storm, leaving the transmitter out of service for several days.[7]
Central and southwestEdit
A tornado was reported near Emporia, though this was not later confirmed.[24] The storm surge tracked into the central portion of the state, with a site on the James River in Richmond reporting an estimated surge of about 9 feet (2.7 m), about 103 river miles (166 km) from its confluence with the lower Chesapeake Bay. Additionally, widespread areas of heavy rainfall of over 5 inches (130 mm) led to flooding of rivers.[7] Richmond set a new daily rainfall record from the precipitation from Isabel.[13] Strong winds were reported throughout the region, and wind gusts reached 73 mph (117 km/h) at Richmond International Airport.[25]
The storm surge significantly damaged or destroyed many homes along the James River, particularly in the towns of Claremont and Burwells Bay, Virginia. The surges in several tidal rivers caught some residents by surprise, both in height and severity. A man in Henrico County drowned after crashing into a flooded creek.[7]
The winds downed trees throughout the area, some of which hit homes and vehicles. In Amelia County, strong winds removed a mobile home from its foundation and destroyed it.[18] Falling trees killed two in the area—one in Chesterfield County and one in the city of Richmond.[7] The downed trees snapped many power lines, leaving about 365,000 Dominion Virginia Power customers in the Richmond area without power.[13] A portion of the roof of The Diamond, home of the Richmond Braves, was damaged by the winds.[26]
Wet conditions caused many accidents along roadways in central Virginia.[13] A motorist on Interstate 95 in Richmond died when he hydroplaned and crashed his car. In Albemarle County, a popular forest boardwalk that was part of the Monticello property was destroyed by a falling oak tree.[27] Also in Albemarle, two people were killed when their car drove off a road and crashed into a tree during heavy rainfall. A man in Chesterfield County died when struck by a tree. Three people died when a car in southern Fluvanna County crashed into a tree.[9] The deaths were considered indirectly related to the storm.[7] In south-central Virginia, strong winds produced widespread wind damage, with numerous trees and power lines reported down. In Campbell County, two homes were destroyed and ten others suffered minor damage. One residence in Amherst County suffered minor damage, and in Appomattox County one home reported major damage. In Buckingham County, one home was destroyed, three reported major damage, and one business suffered minor damage, while in Charlotte County, two homes were destroyed, 30 homes suffered major damage, and five businesses suffered minor damage. The storm destroyed one home and damaged 20, severely damaged three businesses, and caused some crop damage in Pittsylvania County. Monetary damage in the region totaled about $3 million (2003 USD; $4 million 2008 USD).[28]
Shenandoah ValleyEdit
Intense rainbands from Isabel produced heavy rainfall across the Shenandoah Valley,[29] peaking at 20.2 inches (513 mm) in Upper Sherando in Augusta County.[23] Sustained winds in the area ranged from 25–50 mph (40–80 km/h), while wind gusts reached about 60 mph (97 km/h). Strong winds downed numerous trees and power lines, causing some power outages.[30]
The rainfall led to extensive flash flooding and river flooding, including along several tributaries of the South River. The rainfall also caused extensive surface runoff in higher terrains, which led to flow over emergency spillways.[7] Four spillways to dams flooded, causing damage, though none of them failed.[29] At the Mills Creek Dam, the water reached about 2.5 feet (0.76 m) above the emergency spill way,[7] causing $125,000 in damage to the dam (2003 USD). Water flowed down the Black Creek at 60 mph (97 km/h), washing out the bridge and several hundred feet of asphalt along several locations of State Route 608.[29] The South River at Waynesboro rapidly flooded and crested at nearly 13.9 feet (4.2 m), destroying four bridges and flooding downtown businesses in 2 feet (0.61 m)–3 feet (0.91 m) of water. There, emergency management personnel evacuated about 300 people due to the ensuing flooding, which caused about $250,000 in property damage (2003 USD; $293,000 2008 USD). In all, about 350 were evacuated in Augusta County, 21 of whom by boat. Damages to public roads and equipment in the area were estimated at $1 million (2003 USD; $1.2 million 2008 USD). 13 homes were destroyed, with three businesses and 64 other residencies reporting major damage—some reported over 1 foot (0.30 m) of mud in their homes. Damage in the Shenandoah Valley totaled about $29 million (2003 USD; $34 million 2008 USD). A man canoeing in high flood waters drowned in Harrisonburg, while two others drowned in a horse and buggy after crossing a low water bridge in Rockingham County. The flooding also killed 25–30 head of livestock.[7][29][31]
On the day of Isabel moving through the state, President George W. Bush declared 18 counties and 14 independent cities as disaster areas, making residents and business-owners there eligible for federal funding. Additionally, funds were allocated for state and local governments in the 31 designated jurisdictions to pay 75% of the eligible cost for debris removal and emergency services related to the hurricane, including requested emergency work undertaken by the federal government.[32] Many other jurisdictions were added, based on subsequent damage reports, and by September 22, 99 jurisdictions were eligible for disaster assistance.[33] The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) provided hurricane-related bulletins, including safety tips[34] and the method for removing hazardous materials.[35] By 12 days after the passage of the hurricane, FEMA distributed more than 6.3 million lbs. (2.9 million kg) of ice and 1.4 million US gallons (5,300 m3) of water to areas affected by Isabel. Disaster Recovery Centers, which contain information on the aftermath process, were opened in eight locations and received more than 1,850 inquiries. More than 350 FEMA inspectors visited homes to verify damages caused by Isabel, and by the end of September 2003 about 12,000 inspections were completed. In response to the power outages, FEMA installed 28 generators at disaster-affected critical public facilities to support life-sustaining community needs.[36] By about four months after the hurricane, 93,139 individuals in the designated areas applied for disaster assistance, while 20,417 people visited Disaster Recovery Centers throughout the state. The Small Business Administration approved more than 3,000 low-interest disaster loans from homes and businesses, with the value of the loans totaling $74 million (2003 USD; $87 million 2008 USD). The government provided $105 million (2003 USD; $123 million 2008 USD) for debris removal, emergency protective services, and permanent work, and approved about $25.9 million (2003 USD; $30.3 million 2008 USD) for life-sustaining needs such as water, ice, and generators at critical public facilities. Monetary assistance for temporary rental assistance and minimal home repairs totaled $32 million (2003 USD; $37 million 2008 USD), as well.[37]
Volunteer agencies arrived in the state to assist in the aftermath of the hurricane, and by about ten days after Isabel volunteers served more than 550,000 meals to affected residents;[38] over 933,000 meals were served during the four-month cleanup operation[39] Over 10 volunteer organizations, under the coordination of Virginia's Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster, worked to help individuals with debris removal across the state.[40]
Dominion Virginia Power quickly began to restore the widespread power outages with a workforce of about 11,000, working between 14 and 16 hours per day.[41] By two days after the storm, about 900,000 remained without power.[42] By five days after the storm, about 584,000 throughout the state were still without power,[15] and by ten days after Isabel the total dropped to about 160,000, most of whom were in the Hampton Roads area.[43] Improper use of generators caused three indirect storm deaths due to carbon monoxide poisoning resulting from improper ventilation of homes.[7]
As a result of polluted runoff from storm surge and heavy rains, the Virginia Department of Health forbade gathering shellfish in the Virginia portion of the Chesapeake Bay, as well as all rivers flowing into the bay.[44]

Chagall: Daphnis & Chloé
Organized by the National Gallery of Canada and the Winnipeg Art Gallery
Russian-born Jewish artist Marc Chagall was a pioneer of modernism. Picasso proclaimed that after Matisse, "Chagall will be the only painter left who understands what colour really is."
Daphnis & Chloé, the latest NGC@WAG collaboration, features 42 lithograph prints that showcase Chagall's unique style. Widely considered the crowning achievement of his career as a printmaker, the series depicts the romantic tale written by the ancient Greek poet Longus. Chagall created these colourful works in the 1950s, soon after meeting and marrying his second wife, Valentina.
In addition to this magnificent collection of modernist 20th-century work is Chagall & Winnipeg, a focus show that reveals the artist's connection to Manitoba.

If you are going to be living in London, then you might want to explore some of the culture surrounding tea, the drinking of tea and the preparation of the beverage. If it seems a little odd to devote an entire article to the consumption of tea then you might be surprised to learn that on average British people consume nearly 3 kg's of tea per annum. It is the national drink of the United Kingdom and if you are entertaining people during the day, then you should be able to prepare and serve tea to your guests. Part of living in a new country is the chance to immerse yourself in the culture and customs of the country, and drinking tea at any time of the day is very much a part of the culture in England.
The popularity of tea as a beverage dates back to the height of the British Empire when England controlled most of the world's tea trade between the East and West. It has been around, however since the 1600's as a drink made fashionable by the gentry. As tea grew in popularity, an entire culture surrounding tea burst into existence. Tea gardens and Tea dances were immensely popular for decades.
Today tea is served in two ways. The most common way is known as 'builder's tea', this is a hot drink served at any time of the day. It is not served in a teacup and saucer, but in a mug and it is a strong tea, that is served with sugar and milk. People in England drink up to seven mugs of tea a day and will have it with a meal, or biscuits as a quick snack. The more refined way of serving tea involves using a cup and saucer and is almost ritualistic in nature.
How to prepare and serve tea:
- Boiling water is poured into a teapot, which is a utensil with a spout that is used for pouring tea. Once the pot is warmed, the water is discarded.
- Tealeaves are added to the warmed pot, some people use tea bags today for convenience, but purists would stick to loose tealeaves to better bring out the flavour.
- Hot water is added to the tealeaves and the mixture is allowed to settle for a few minutes to brew. A tea cosy is often placed over the pot; this is usually a knitted cover that keeps the tea warm while it is brewing.
- Tea is never allowed to brew for more than ten minutes as the tea is spoiled and turns bitter.
- The tea is poured into a cup and milk and sugar are added depending on how the individual prefers to drink it. There is some debate about whether or not to add milk before or after the tea, but this is really a question of personal taste.
Crazy about Coffee
If you are going to be moving to London, do not panic that you will not be able to drink your favourite cup of java. Coffee is served as often as tea, although most people in England will serve instant coffee in their homes, as opposed to the real deal. If you are craving a shot of espresso, then never fear, London is a cosmopolitan city and you'll be able to find a Starbucks on most high streets.

Teenage skin care tips for acne and blackheads
Your e-mail has been sent to the receipient
Skin changes are a natural part of your teenage years. While you may not have given much thought to your complexion before, times have changed. Now you have to manage oily skin, pesky pimples, and bold blackheads, which can be a daunting task.
Beat Those Blemishes in Your Teens
Nearly 85 percent of all people get blemishes! But knowing you are not the only one is often of little comfort when you get a huge pimple the night before the school play or a big party.
5 Ways to Take Care of Your Skin in Your Teens With Skin Care Routine
1) Wash Your Face Twice a Day. It is important to cleanse your face once in the morning and once in the evening with a cleanser that contains salicylic acid. Cleansing removes excess oil, bacteria and other impurities and is especially important when you start to wear make-up.
2) Exfoliate Your Skin to a Deep Clean. Exfoliating cleansers slough away dead skin. This helps prevent your pores from getting clogged one of the main culprits of pimples and blackheads.
3) Try a Cleansing Facial Cloth. If you exercise or play a sport, you may want to do a quick clean after with a cleansing facial cloth. Conveniently stash a pack or two in your locker, purse or gym bag to make quick cleansing a breeze.
4) Do Not Cleanse Too Much. When feel that your face is being overtaken by blemishes, you may want to wash it a lot. The truth is washing your face too often strips your skin of much needed moisture, which can lead to more breakouts. Wash your face no more than three times a day at the most.
5) Moisturise, Moisturise, Moisturise. You may be nervous to add a moisturiser to your routine if you have frequent breakouts. But in fact, moisturisers actually help to hydrate and balance skin. Try a lightweight, oil-free moisturiser twice a day. A moisturiser with broad spectrum SPF protection is also your best bet to ward off sun damage.

To turn into a yoga teacher you will want to finish quite a lot of programs, so ensure you understand what conditions are in place before you begin a yoga enterprise.
Equally, enhancing and proofreading services are always wanted, and would make an awesome small business idea. Starting a enterprise on the aspect and slowly expanding it (in the event you discover it is something you're keen on) is commonly preferable to simply quitting your job and trying to begin a enterprise.
It's because, though there are numerous ideas that may appear viable not all may materialize into a good business deal. As you develop a powerful fame you'll be able to generate substantial amounts of business. The variability and diversity of products you may carry are infinite, which allows you the freedom to play around together with your inventory until you find that special mix of merchandise on your small city enterprise.

Some Psalms are sung at the various Jewish holidays every year. Music used in that way occupies a special place in minds and hearts. Think of cherished Christmas music. It becomes associated with a season, with the deeper meanings of the festival, and with how we feel hearing that music with family and friends, year after year.
Those Psalms are 113 through 118. It was Psalm 118 that the crowd sang as they lined the road down the Mount of Olives to Jerusalem, waving palms and laying their clothes on the path. That's traditionally the song that follows the Passover Meal (the Seder). If you ever get a chance to share Seder, do it; from bitter tears and hard labor, praying for enemies, lifting the glass to honor the Almighty, the kids, the fun, and the one place set for "someday" when the Prophet Elijah will join the feast. It's great symbolism, family time, and a time for hope. Jesus was headed into Jerusalem with the Passover Seder in mind and Psalm 118 echoing on the voices of his followers.
22 The stone which the builders refused is become the headstone of the corner.
23 This is the Lord's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.
24 This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
25 Save now, I beseech thee, O Lord.
Verse 25 is the word HOSANNA!
Verse 27 (the King James translators had trouble with it) describes palm fronds tied to poles the same height as the altar to make a "booth" as in Succoth.
The last words Jesus would have heard as he entered the eastern gate to set up his kingdom would have been "Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, and his mercy endures forever."

5 Ways to Bring the Islands Home With You
Having just returned from a luxurious tropical vacation, you may find yourself longing for the beaches once again. While it may not be feasible to take weekly trips to your favorite locales, you can bring a bit of the vacation mindset home with you. By integrating some island-inspired changes to your home decor, you may feel like you are stepping a little closer to the beach just by coming home each day. Included here are a few ways to keep the vacation mindset long after your sun tan has faded.
Make Your Bedroom Tropical
Prominently display a large seascape painting or photograph on your wall. Place family photos in a seashell theme, and for a more dedicated look, hang fishnet from the ceiling. You can even improve your air quality by bringing in a few house plants, like palms, that give you the island feel along with the clean air benefits.
Tiki Your Deck
Bring home the island barbeque feel every night this summer by decking out your deck. Add luxurious hammocks, especially in bright colors, to give you the relaxing but fun atmosphere of the beach. Bring in a few tiki torches and decorate with exposed bamboo. Change your table covering to a thatched or brightly colored woven umbrella for a more tropical feel.
Surround Yourself with the Sounds
In order to achieve an island paradise feel in your room, try to decorate with blues, greens and white. Nothing says "beach day" quite like the marimba. Build your atmosphere with the sounds of a vacation. Music by Bob Lyons will give you the steel drum appeal often present at exotic vacation spots. If you prefer the more natural atmosphere, buy a soundtrack that plays nature sounds and ocean waves. You will picture the mesmerizing birds and practically smell the salty ocean waves.
Tie Scent to Memories
One of the most powerful links to memory and nostalgia is scent. By integrating a few of your favorite tropical smells, you can better envision your relaxed days spent at the beach. Begin by using a coconut scented lotion, or a mango candle. If you want to reminisce about a day spent at the spa, create your own homemade sugar scrubs with scents you can mix and match yourself.
Taste the Ocean
There are often many delicious drinks and foods you naturally associate with the beauty of vacation. Create blended drinks or virgin smoothies from fresh tropical fruits like pineapple, mango, papaya, or strawberries. To make dinner the island way, try grilling fish or shrimp and trying a rice and avocado filled wrap. These tastes, combined with your other home improvements, should have you feeling like you are right back at the beach. All you will be missing is the sand between your toes!

"The energy level on Capitol Hill is like an emergency room," Bradford Fitch told general session attendees Monday afternoon. Fitch is president/CEO of the Congressional Management Foundation.
"Members of Congress are very busy," he said. "Our research shows they attend an average 13 meetings a day and work 60 to 70 hours a week."
"In the past 10 years, the number of communications coming into Congressional offices has increased up to 1,000%," he said. "There are currently about 7,000 web sites designed to direct messages to Congressional offices. But the number of employees monitoring that communication has not increased due to legislation passed in 1974 capping the number of Congressional staffers at 18 full-time employees per office. That's why the activity level of those offices looks like an emergency room."
Fitch said it's not easy getting your message heard by these busy, distracted people.
But he did outline five steps for increasing the likelihood of influencing legislators:
Armed with these tips for influencing legislators, CUNA's Senior Vice President of Legislative Affairs Ryan Donovan gave attendees some talking points about the member business lending legislation.
"When you Hike the Hill on Wednesday, be sure to let your legislators know that credit unions have been making member business loans for 100 years—the first 90 of which have been without a cap," he said.
"Remind your elected officials that credit unions increased their business lending 45% from the start of the financial crisis through December 2011, while the same banks that took taxpayer bailout money actually decreased business lending 15% during that same period," Donovan said.
"And before you leave your legislator's office, ask him or her to enact S. 509 or H.R. 1418 to provide a taxpayer-free infusion of $13 billion in capital to small businesses to create 140,000 jobs by increasing the credit union business lending cap to 27.5%."

Art With No Boundaries Anything Goes & Rhythm of the Sea Part 2
Our fearless leader Chris had some computer problems so we're a little late getting out of the gate for our second week of this challenge, but she's back up and running. It's amazing how we all really miss our internet access when it's down.
I've got a project for you today with the Loreley Stars & Fish Montage digi. I just couldn't resist this partial quote from Shakespeare. I created the little sign and stuck it in the sand then surrounded it with shells and a star fish. I nestled Loreley in the background and added the pearls. There was a time that a girl couldn't be without a one strand pearl necklace in her jewelry box.
I hope you click on the link above to view what the rest of my Design Team members have come up with. It's amazing what different projects can be made using the same digi.
We've had some wonderful entries already for this challenge, I look forward to seeing more entries before the challenge ends.
Happy Creating--
