The delivery of academic programs and the creation of a positive learning environment matter at UNBC. "How we teach" and "what we teach" have a direct effect on students. The student experience is enhanced by opportunities for hands-on learning, international perspectives, a focus on student outcomes, instruction enriched by innovative research, the use of appropriate technology, and approaches to learning that are informed by multiple perspectives.
Classes at UNBC include practical sessions in advanced laboratories, field schools throughout northern BC, week-long intensive courses for students who may otherwise work full-time, web courses for ultimate flexibility, seminars in small groups, and lectures in state-of-the-art theatres.
Total academic courses offered - 961
Courses in Prince George - 712
Regional courses - 152
Online courses - 97
Total Continuing Studies courses offered - 73
Building on the success of the Northern Medical Program, UNBC is exploring ways to further expand its technology-enabled learning capabilities. The NMP uses state-of-the-art equipment that allows medical students in Prince George to participate in lectures with students at UBC or the University of Victoria.
For its size, UNBC is among the most research-intensive universities in Canada and many faculty are international leaders in their fields. Much of UNBC's research focuses on the social, economic, environmental, and cultural issues of the North. This has led to the establishment of world-class research in such areas as Natural Resources and the Environment; Rural, Remote, and Northern Health; and the Sustainability of Communities.
Research partnerships with the private sector and public agencies have strengthened UNBC's role as a resource for communities. This includes research on the mountain pine beetle, local governance, indigenous languages, economic development, determinants of health, and climate change.
UNBC has been successful in attracting government and private sector funding to establish a total of 13 endowed research chairs. The roster includes eight Canada Research Chairs who focus on topics related to the environment, rural communities, First Nations, climate change, and literature. UNBC also has research leaders working in BC's most spectacular environments, and industry-supported chairs conducting research related to mixed wood ecology and forest growth and yield.
Six students became the University's first alumni in 1994. UNBC now graduates over 700 students per year. As of 2016, UNBC has 12,410 individual graduates holding 13,745 credentials. Alumni include politicians, entrepreneurs, nurses, teachers, foresters, bankers, and community leaders of all types.
UNBC's alumni are the University's single-most important external constituency. As ambassadors, they are key to expanding UNBC's profile around the world. As citizens, they are applying their UNBC education and experience to improving the social, economic, environmental, and cultural fabric of our communities.
University graduates earn more money than the provincial average according to a Research Universities' Council of British Columbia report and UNBC alumni are no exception. More than half of employed survey respondents reported earning at least $60,000 a year from their main job and nearly 16 per cent reported earning more than $100,000 annually.
UNBC graduates are leaders in their field, with nearly 70 per cent of employed graduates working in management or executive-level positions.

Champagne Fitness clients range from ages 14 to 73, with the majority of the clientele between 35 and 50 years old. Most clients are in the beginner and intermediate skill range, although some long term clients are far beyond that now. I find that the eclectic mix of clientele keep the atmosphere of Champagne Fitness warm, inviting and fun. Most of my clients are referrals from existing clients, which creates a great feeling of camaraderie. Perhaps most importantly, the studio is a dog friendly environment, and well-behaved dogs are more than welcome to join your sessions.
"My family and I have been working with Gary for several years now. We absolutely LOVE him! He has helped me get back to the weight I was before having my two kids which I never thought was possible. My two girls think the world of him which is funny because they were so reluctant to work with a male trainer. He is so good with everyone!" -Karen
"I've had 4 trainers in the last 3 years. Gary is by far the best. He just gets it and what it's all about."
"I am now on my third 10-session package with Gary. Every 6 months or so, i will have him help me redo my workouts that i do at my health club nearby. He taught me exactly what I needed to know as I was so terrified about lifting weights in front of all my friends. He sets me up on a little routine and sends me on my way. There is never any awkwardness about not seeing him for a while as he completely understands that not everyone is able to afford a trainer year round." -Remy aka "the pushup queen"
"I am proud to say that I am currently Gary's second oldest client. As a 71-year-old, he has been very delicate with my needs while also giving me that motivation to get younger as I age. He has helped my recovery from rotator cuff surgery, slimmed down my belly fat and kept my overall muscle from deteriorating any further. -Betty H.
"My friend and I have been training at Champagne Fitness for only a few months but we love it. With Gary, you don't just get a great workout session, you also get an hour filled with tons of laughter. He is always in a good mood and making me laugh. My husband does sessions with him privately and he's loving it as well." -Lisa

My husband loves London. There was a time when, had he been given an offer to continue the temporary job he was doing at the time, he would not come back to Newcastle to finish his degree. But he didn't get the offer. So he came back to this small city in the North East of England, missing his 'lover' which is three hours train journey away ever since.
London was never my favourite city (not because I'm jealous of her). Every time I visited, it happened to be always in autumn. I remember it very well because there were red poppies all over the city. They were the only warmth in my eyes, in that big dark city. Autumn is not the best season for visiting London. All of the descriptions of "crisp and tangy" autumn does not apply to London. It's wet and cold, grey and indifferent.
This gloomy autumn air does not affect my husband. As long as there are massive cranes along the river and muddy construction sites with fences all over the place, he's happy. I hate walking in Oxford Street (and all the other streets) not being able to go on in a straight line holding hands with my husband for 5 seconds, because too many people would just walk straight into you either with their eyes fixed on their phones or turning their heads around looking at this big beautiful new world. E.g. my husband kept walking into puddles with his head 45 degree up to the skyscrapers, splashing me with muddy water.
There are two groups of people in London: Londoners and visitors. Londoners do not make eye contact with me. They have their important business in mind. The visitors always look lost in their eyes and always in Londoners' way. Why can't they work out the tube lines? It's simple enough! Stop staring at the pathetic maps in the middle of the streets! But I see friendly, excited, shy smiles in visitors eyes.
However, London is a great place for artists. If I ever live in London, I probably will become an artist as well pretty quickly. Because apart from museums, galleries and bookshops, there are not many places I can afford to go to. The whole unhappy experience reached a climax when we walked into a tatty small street lined with junk shops and a fruit and veg market in the middle of it. It was grey and wet as ever, made the street looked more unpleasant. I stepped into the first fabric shop on my left, feeling slightly happier seeing all the suede and leather. I almost forgot about the greyness outside when I saw a shelf of lovely lace. Not as beautiful as I would like them to be, but pretty enough. Then the owner said, two eighty six.
For me, two eighty six means £2.86 when I shop in Newcastle. But wake up it can't be that, you're in London! But I didn't imagine he seriously meant £286, per metre. But he did, with an annoying grin, which to me means, 'so what are you going to do now this young lady who has never seen lace before?'
That was the end. London looked even darker after that. It was getting late. I was so glad we were going home to my lovely Newcastle that evening.
Visiting London again? Maybe not. Unless it's for friends and family.

I love this one by Northbrooks because it is a really good size and it is so lightweight. Quality is very good to the pages and it holds up nicely to marker, heavy glueing (I glued GOT themed fabric in it and it held), and all sorts of fun crafting.
Thinking about getting one? Go ahead! They're fabulous!
I received one for free in exchange for an honest review.

A Step-by-Step Guide to Understanding the
Present World Situation
By Mike King
*This piece has gone viral. Keep it going!
Friendly Rivals
Globalist Zbigniew Brzezinski and Neo-Con Robert Kagan both called for a more aggressive role in US
foreign policy. Both of them also cited, in writing, the need for a "new Pearl Harbor" to rally public
support for their ambitious foreign policy objectives.
Brzezinski / 1999 (Pearl Harbor quote)
Kagan & Friends / 2000 (New Pearl Harbor quote)
* Kagan is married to Victoria Nuland (Nudelman). Keep her name in mind because
she will come back into play later on in this narrative.
Fast Forward to 2005: Warmonger Dick Cheney swears in Vickey Nuland as US Representative
to NATO, as proud hubby Robert Kagan and kids look on.
Both the phony Assange and the phony 'Protester' were named
as 'Persons of the Year'. The 'Arab Spring' scam destabilized several Arab states, several of them from Wesley Clarke's
previously mentioned list!
CIA-WikiLeaks & corrupt media
punished the 'dangerous' Berlusconi for his close associations with the big bad Qaddafi and the big bad Putin.
Unlike American leaders who grovel before Netanyahu, Putin was
not afraid to go to Israel and speak frankly to the Prime Minister.
Both Putin and Dr. Assad, (an eye doctor educated in England) have a huge base of support among Syrians.
Angry Americans show up at a 'town hall'
to rip John McCain a new butt-hole over his support for bombing Syria.
American aggression
has drawn Russia and China closer together than ever before.
"Don't think you are off the hook Mr. Obama.
I will devise a new plan and we shall revisit this next year."
McCain the Insane arrives in Ukraine, stirring
up trouble, yet again!
Also stirring trouble
is US Under-Secretary of State Victoria Nuland (Nudelman). Nuland is the wife of arch 'neo-conservative'
luminary Robert Kagan; one of the principal architects of the never-ending 'War on Terror'. In addition to the cookies
that she handed out to the 'pro-US' mobs, Nuland has also helped to dole out billions of dollars in 'pro-democracy
investment' in Ukraine, all on the backs of US taxpayers.
When McCain's rent-a-mobs
and dupes turned violent, Obama and The New York Times continued to refer to them as "peaceful protesters".
The masked Israeli Commander 'Delta' and his team fought to overthrow the elected
government of Ukraine.
True story! Among the violent thugs in Kiev were a group of former Israeli commandos.
(Here) What would be Israel's motivation to establish a new anti-Russian Ukrainian government on Putin's front
door-step? Ask McCain and Netahyahu
Putin's duly elected
ally, Yanukovich is out. The hand-picked puppets of Nuland-Kagan and McCain then come to power in Ukraine.
What the Western Press falsely described as an "invasion"
and a "conquest", was actually a joyous reunification of the Crimean peninsula with its Russian Motherland. These people wanted nothing to do with the violent puppet-gangsters of Kagan's Kiev.
The new puppet President Petro Poroshenko is hated
in the eastern half of his country (and not all that popular in the western part either). But Obama and his EU poodles just
love the bloody billionaire tyrant.
The anti-China puppet Presidents of Vietnam and Philippines are
on America's Mafia payroll too. That is why these weak states have suddenly grown so bold in antagonizing peaceful China
over petty issues.
Nigeria and China (Russia to a lesser extent) have become
so close that the New York Times (barf) has expressed it's 'concern" (here)? Hillary Clinton has also 'warned' African nations about getting too close
to China (here).
The Boku Haram / 'Bring
Back our Girls' scam and what is probably a deliberately engineered Ebola crisis are being used as pretexts to send
troops to Nigeria and other African nations!
The ISIS 'bogeyman'
is nothing but a strategic repackaging of the very same terrorist 'rebels' that the US-Saudi-Israeli Axis has been financing
and controlling all along. In this latest reincarnation, ISIS is "the bad
White skinned 'Arab' terrorists with red hair and
Jewish nose?
Strangely enough, the ISIS gang has neither attacked nor threatened
Israel. Why is that? Hmmm.
This time around, thanks to the shocking
ISIS "beheading" You Tube videos, Obama was able to get away with telling the nation (on the eve
of 9/11 of course) that it is necessary to bomb Iraq and Syria. With Putin now preoccupied with the possibility of a US-EU-Israel
- engineered war in Eastern Europe, will Russia still be able to protect Assad?
When he visited Syria in 2012, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov was given a hero's welcome.
"On Monday, NATO
Commander Gen. Philip Breedlove had a not-so-subtle message for Russia: it will consider stealth and unofficial invasions
to be a trigger for war."
Breedlove? Sounds more like Dr. Strangelove!
A very strange crash -- intended to provoke Russia
into putting "boots on the ground".
In response to the ritualistic 11-13-15
false-flag attack in Paris, PNAC neo conservative Bill Kristol wants 50,000 U.S. soldiers to invade Russian-protected Syria.

The Best, Worst and Weirdest in Sports, 2013; Part 6
Part 1 - January/February
Part 2 - March/April
Part 3 - May/June
Part 4 - July/August
Part 5 - September/October
Hail to the Chiefs
Kansas City defeats the Buffalo Bills 23-13 to move to 9-0 after finishing the previous season with the NFL's worst record, 2-14. First-year coach Andy Reid will guide Kansas City to an 11-5 record and a playoff berth.
Football CEO
In just his second season as a college head coach, former TD Ameritrade CEO Joe Moglia, 64, guides Coastal Carolina, an FCS school, to a 12-3 record and the national quarterfinals.
Beginner's Luck
Ryan Riess, 23, in his first appearance at the World Series of Poker, outlasts more than 8,000 players at the main event to claim the coveted bracelet and $8.4 million. Just 13 months earlier, the Waterford, Mich., native had $2,000 in the bank.
Truly Offensive Lineman
How do you become a trending topic if you are an offensive lineman with the Miami Dolphins? Either leave the team due to an apparent bullying issue (Jonathan Martin) or be suspended from the team indefinitely for sending that lineman racist texts that you (Richie Incognito) claim were sent in jest.
Jack of all Trades
UCLA's Myles Jack, a true freshman, was already having a terrific season at linebacker when injuries pushed the Bruin coaching staff to play him at running back. In his first game, at Arizona, the Bellevue, Wash., native rushes for 120 yards on just six carries, including a 66-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. Jack averages 7.2 yards per carry through UCLA's last four games and is named the Pac-12 Offensive and Defensive Freshman of the Year.
Sachin Tendulkar, the Michael Jordan of cricket and the most beloved sports figure in the world's second-most populous country (India), retires after 24 years, 200 test matches and more than 50,000 runs.
Running Wild
On the same afternoon, Andre Williams of Boston College gallops for 339 yards and Cartel Brooks of Division III Heidelberg University rushes for 465 yards. Brooks' feat is an all-divisions NCAA record while Williams will finish as the nation's leading rusher and second in the Heisman Trophy voting.
The Immaculate Deflection
Why is Auburn playing in next week's national championship game? Part I: Because facing a fourth-and-18 from its own 27 and trailing Georgia by one point with less than one minute remaining, this happens.
"It's the play of the year," CBS announcer Gary Danielson says, and for two weeks, he is correct. It may not be even the play of the month… in Jordan-Hare Stadium.
Triple Digits… Again
Jack Taylor has had better games. Last November, for example, the Grinnell College guard scored an NCAA-record 138 points in a game. On this night, versus Crossroads College, the 5-10 junior scores 109 in a 173-123 victory. Taylor played just 29 of 40 minutes but shot 24 of 48 from beyond the arc and 35 of 70 from the field.
Swamp Things
The Florida Gators, national champions in 2006 and 2008, lose at home to Georgia Southern, an FCS school. Fortunately, there's a photo that perfectly illustrates Florida's fall from grace: Gator teammates Quinton Dunbar and Jonotthan (cq) Harrison blocking one another on a running play. UF fans will point out that the Gators did get a first down on the carry.
All Blacks, All Wins
New Zealand wins all 14 of its Test matches in 2013, becoming the first side since rugby became a professional sport in 1997 to do so. But it isn't easy. The All Blacks fall behind Ireland, 19-0, in the final test of the season before leveling the score, and making the conversion, on the final play of the match.
Metaphor of the Year
Baylor is 10-0 and the highest-scoring team in the nation when they visit once-beaten Oklahoma State. In the first quarter, Bear quarterback Bryce Petty takes the snap at the Cowboy 28 and appears to have an unimpeded path to paydirt. But Petty stumbles, untouched, and lands one yard shy of a touchdown. Two play later Baylor loses a fumble and eventually loses the game, 49-27, and its undefeated season.
AFC Championship Game Teaser
New England hosts Denver in a Sunday night showdown between the AFC's premier teams and quarterbacks, but Tom Brady and the Patriots trail Peyton Manning and the Broncos 24-0 at halftime. Brady, naturally, leads the Patriots back in David-Ortiz fashion, as New England wins 34-31 in overtime.
Are You Kidd-ing?
The NBA fines first-year Brooklyn Net coach Jason Kidd $50,000 for ordering guard Tyshawn Taylor to knock a soda out of his hands in a ruse to have their game with the Los Angeles Clippers halted. That's one expensive soda. The Nets lose.
Auburn's "Kick-Six"
Why is Auburn playing in next week's BCS national championship game?, Part 2: With the score tied 28-28 and one second remaining, top-ranked Alabama decides to attempt a game-winning 54-yard field goal. The kick lands short, Auburn's Chris Davis fields it nine yards deep in his own end zone, and then returns it all the way for the most preposterous game-winning touchdown since Cal ran through the Stanford band 31 years earlier.
No Charges
Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston, the Heisman Trophy favorite, spends the second half of November under intense national scrutiny once it becomes public that he is being investigated for a sexual assault that allegedly occurred the previous December. Two days before the Seminoles are due to meet Duke in their conference championship game, and just four days before the deadline to vote on the Heisman, Florida State Attorney General Willie Meggs calls a press conference to announce that Winston will not be charged. Nine days later, Winston wins the Heisman Trophy.
Frasier Crane Was No Idiot
Seattle becomes the hot destination for upwardly mobile sports figures, as football coach Chris Petersen (92-12) leaves Boise State for Washington and All-Star New York Yankee second baseman Robinson Cano, the team's best player, signs with the Seattle Mariners for $240 million over 10 years.
The Book of Manning
Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning finishes the NFL regular-season with an NFL-record 55 touchdown passes, surpassing Tom Brady's record of 50 set in 2007. Younger brother Eli Manning leads the league in interceptions with 27, although he falls eight picks shy of Vinny Testaverde's record.
Like a Prater
Peyton Manning's teammate, kicker Matt Prater, sets an NFL record by kicking a 64-yard field goal just before halftime against the Tennessee Titans in Denver. As impressive as Prater's distance is the fact that he made the kick in 18-degree weather.
New York's two NBA franchises, the Knicks (9-21) and Nets (10-20), engage in a turf war to see whose horrible play can inspire the greaterNew York Post headline: "SNORE LOSERS", "BICKER BOCKERS" and, after the pair lost their Christmas day games by a combined 46 points, "SEASON'S BEATINGS."
The Pack is Back
Left for dead in the NFC Central and minus their injured MVP quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, the Green Bay Packers overcome a 26-3 halftime deficit at Dallas to win, 37-36. Two weeks later Rodgers, back in uniform at Chicago, converts a fourth-and-eight in the final minute for the 48-yard game-winning touchdown that knocks the Bears out of the playoffs, and puts the Packers into the post-season.
8-8 is Enough
The Cowboys' loss to Green Bay is compounded by a regular-season home defeat to Philadelphia. Dallas finishes 8-8 and out of the playoffs for a third consecutive season.
Breaking Bad
In an Ultimate Fighting Championship bout (UFC 168), Anderson Silva, regarded as the greatest mixed martial arts pugilist of all time, attempts a leg kick against Chris Weidman. The kick is blocked by Weidman's knee, gruesomely cracking both Silva's left tibia and fibula.

Swedish sleaze rockers Vanity Insanity have been going for ages, but never got their break, due to member changes and other unfortunes. Now, finally, the debut album "Piece Of Her Cake" has been released! Long overdue, but well worth waiting for! The album kicks off with "On Your Knees", which sounds like something Mötley Crüe could have written for the "Girls Girls Girls" album. Singer Viggo Vain sounds a bit like a young Vince Neil, but better. He's got a distinct, high pitch, strong voice that really pierces through the music. "Drop Dead" kicks off in the vein of Whitesnake's "Still Of The Night", but continues in its own lane. This is really good!! The title track ripps into riff mode with a cool quirky riff pattern that really caught my attention. It continues in the vein of colleagues Crazy Lixx, but I must admit I do like these guys a bit better. "Dented Halo" kicks off with some distorted bass, a cool shreddy solo and goes into heavy sleaze mode. If you're into bands like Crazy Lixx, Crashdiët, Kickin' Valentina etc., this is an album you shouldn't miss out on! Kick ass stuff indeed!

What I learned at the IOF national convention and what I'm going to do about it
I was very pleased to be asked recently to write this my very first blog! Originally I was asked to write about what I learned at the recent Institute of Fundraising (IOF) national convention. But as several weeks have passed I thought it would be more appropriate to blog about what I'm going to do about what I have learned.
Quite often we attend training events and leave with the best of intentions meaning to implement everything learned back at work. The reality of the day job, however, can mean those good intentions quickly fade and I was keen for that not to be the case. So, with a spring in my step following the convention, I quickly went about working on my top 3 learning's.
So in no particular order here are the top 3 things that I learned at the national convention and have taken back to my day job:

Its innovative design and quality fabrication make the rehabilitation process easier and more efficient. Not to mention the handle can be used with rehaband and bulk tubing when youre not using the pulley! Limited grip is not a problem anymore! As shown below, our patented and doctor recommended assistive grip comfortably holds the hand in place at the knuckles rather than the wrist to promote circulation.

Navy & Yellow
Errand girl today I am! I have several stops, and then a consult with a prospective client. So I needed to be comfortable and professional!
The Rundown;
Dress: Target
Shoes: Navy Christian Louboutin Simple 100
Handbag: Kate Spade Maryann
I'm afraid I don't have much else to share today, I'm off and running.
Until next time,
It's Hot. It's Humid. I've Changed Twice
Yes. I have changed twice today. I started the day out in this:
And decided I felt a million years old. And it's hot and humid.
The Rundown:
Blouse: Nanette Lepore
Skirt: Calvin Klien
Shoes: DIY Strassed Nina Jelly Flats
Handbag: Coach (not pictured)
So after running errands I came home and changed. Into this:
The Rundown:
Blouse: Old Navy
Skirt: Kate Spade Lawson Skirt
Shoes: DIY Strassed Nina Jelly flats
Handbag: Coach
Only problem?
I'm still hot. Ugh. A very good day for OPAC. other peoples air conditioning. Yes, the GOOD OPAC! I know, I'm brilliant, yes? (The Engineer seems to think so, well, sometimes.)
And my shoes. I was bored yesterday late afternoon. House was clean, laundry done, and the kids were in the swimming pool. Which meant they needed an attentive adult.
So I sat on the patio and attended them, while strassing. It took me a total of 3 hours.
And a shot of them with my handbag. The color is quite close!
And for those of you who do not follow me on Instgram, here's the cake I threw together for my daughters birthday yesterday.
And voila! That's all for today. I still have loads to do this afternoon, including heading to enjoy OPAC tonight.
Stay cool!
Until next time,
Wow, I realized its been a few days since I wore sparkly shoes. I know, something must be wrong with me!
The Rundown:
Blouse: Kate Spade
Skirt: Katie Skirt by Sandee Royalty
Belt: Thrifted
Shoes: Strassed Jimmy Choo flats
Handbag: Kate Spade
I really think I'm going to do my black flats like these in a dark red. But I don't believe I shall paint the leather, just leave it black, so they are really a dark dark red, reminiscent of black magic roses!
We shall see. I have some events coming up in August, and tomorrow is my daughters birthday, so the project will have to wait. And I still need to decide what color crystal for the flats I am having done by Redo My Shoe. So many sparkly shoes!! *twirls*
Until next time,
Outfit Repeater
I love this outfit. I wore it Monday (different shoes & handbag). I'm wearing it today. I know, quick, someone call the fashion police!!!
The Rundown:
Blouse: Banana Republic (I need a backup!!)
Skirt: JCrew
Belt: Old Navy (years ago!)
Shoes: Christian Louboutin Ballerina Flats (wait, these are new! More in these below)
Handbag: Coach
Shoes. Remember how I've been excited about having Joey over at Redo My Shoe strass a pair of flats? These are the flats. They finally came yesterday after being held up in customs for nearly 3 weeks. I decided since they are brand new, it's probably good to wear them a few times, break them in. (I should probably consult Joey on this!!) okay, so I got new shoes and I just wanted to wear them!
They are kind of an odd color, sort of a pinky brown. If I didn't like crystal shoes so much, I might be inclined to keep them as it.
Now to finally decide on a color. I just don't know! Pink? Purple? *sigh*
What color would you have these done in??
Until next time,
Up and At 'em
About to walk out the door this morning, realizing just how old I have gotten.
I'm sore. Oh my! My poor knee hates me this morning. But, I think it was worth it, because it's a good sore. A "I'm going to make time to hit an ice rink a few times a month when the kids start school" sore. Maybe between that and actually riding my pink (yes pink!) Schwinn bike, I might get back into shape.
That said, I'm off to get a massage this morning!
The Rundown:
Top: Target, last summer on sale, under $5
Shorts: Kate Spade
Shoes: Black Jimmy Choo flats
Handbag: Coach
Picture of my bag (clutch)
And because I love my massage therapist, I'm taking her this:
A pair of Macarons. Mmmm
Until next time,
Ice Skating
It's hot today. Not like last week(thank heavens!). So, I'm taking the kids skating. My daughter is wearing my first competition costume. Over two decades ago!!
And me? I'm wearing one of my last costumes. I was 18 when this was made?
Granted I have paired it with black rights (all I had), and I threw a short sleeve sweater over the top. The dress may still fit, but I'm a little old to be showing THAT much skin in public me thinks!!
Sweater: Banana Republic
Dress: Old Skating Costume (this is where my crystal obsession started! I used to bead all my costumes)
Tights: who knows? 10+ years old
Shoes: Strassed Christian Louboutins (of course!!!)
Now to not kill myself.
On another note, I finished the Nine West shoes this morning! I call these "orange dreams", cause they are getting me out of something I only dreamed I could get out of doing!! ❤ ya Courtney!!
The color is wild, but I kind of like it. I used large crystals on these, ss30, ss34, ss16, and ss12. So they were quick!
Until next time,
Macarons and Crystals
I stayed in today, and baked.
And strassed shoes. I have some very lucky friends writing sparkly gifts!!
First my outfit: (Alannah Hill Dress)
First pair of shoes I finished:
Pair I am nearly done with (one show complete, the other half done)
And my Macarons! Mint, almond, and orange. Mmmm.
And there you go! Tomorrow I'm taking my kids ice skating. I found out today I can still wear my skating dresses from 1996-1997 skating season. Holy cow!! I guess that's a good thing. Perhaps I shall post pictures. I might be able to wear the right attire, but that doesn't mean I can skate like I did back then! No more triple jumps, that's for sure!!! At least now I remember where my live of sparkly things came from!!!
Until next time,

I survived my first night in the ICU on my own. Obviously, they didn't give me the train wreck patients since it was my first time. I actually had one patient from like midnight to 5am because I transferred one to the floor. And then, of course, I got a patient right at 5:30. At that point, it wasn't my responsibility since the other nurse was there, so I got her set up and then the oncoming shift took over. So happy for that. I hate having an open bed and just waiting to hear what I'm going to get; it's totally builds my anxiety.
I also helped one nurse who got trippled by taking her patient to CT scan.
My one patient was quite annoying. He was on the vent, and would not stop screaming. Somehow no sedation was ordered?
Now I need to work tonight. And then I only have two days off and then work THREE IN A ROW *#$%#@$%@#$%@%*!!!!
When you work nights and have "two days off," it is stupid because one of those days is from when you worked, so it is really like freakin' 1 day off. I HATE DOING THREE IN A ROW, but I had to put myself on the schedule late.
I honestly need a break. I haven't had one in soooo long. I went straight from my last job in August into CCIP and I've been working non-stop. Seriously, like a week or two would be grand.

Lack of social cues, immaturity, concentration, ants-in-the-pants fidgetiness, impulsivity, sensory issues, processing, hyperactivity, distractibility, retaining information, reading and math, disorganization, inattention, or following directions?
Anything there look familiar in your child?
This is what we call SYMPTOMS. We would like to make a distinction between the term symptom and the term ROOT CAUSE. A symptom is a sign of something else. We like to say the symptoms in the above list of concerns are signs of something deeper.
If you have a child with the diagnosis of ADHD or Autism, you are familiar with some or all of these symptoms. There are also many children who do not have a diagnosis who suffer from some or all of these symptoms as well.
We invite you to consider that the symptoms you see in your child DO NOT HAVE TO BE A LIFE SENTENCE.
We have greatly reduced and even eliminated some of the symptoms listed above in our own children and other parents with whom we have worked have done so also!
How? We got to the root cause and did specific exercises and activities to open pathways in the brain. New connections were made and things were so much better for our children.
What kind of root causes are we talking about here? Here are five of the most prevalent root causes for the symptoms that come with focus problems:
1. Sequential Processing (auditory and/or visual) is low.
2. Mixed-Dominance - disorganization of the central nervous system.
3. Tactility struggles - the Sensory system is off.
4. Systems Management – there are few structures in place for success.
5. Visual Development – sometimes the eyes and brain do not have the connection they need.
The good news is -- 1) There are things YOU can do to help your child, hands-on parent, and 2) IT IS NEVER TOO LATE!
We have personally worked on each one of the above five root causes with our children by doing specific and targeted activities. We are still amazed about how simple the activities were and what a difference they made! The hardest part was first to figure out how to incorporate the activities into our lifestyle and then to be consistent in getting them done. Just like many things in child rearing, we needed to evaluate and reevaluate and adjust and readjust.
We will never regret the work we did with our children. If you want more information about how to bring about these changes for your child and how to get the support in the process, please contact us.

It's time for beer to get a lot weirder in the Triangle. This week, four of the minds behind Bond Brothers Beer Company in Cary announced the launch of a new pop-up brewery, Ancillary* Fermentation.
Self-described as "a fermentorium, and an art project, and a traveling conceptual pop up taproom, and a brewery, and a lot less pretentious than it sounds," Ancillary* won't have a permanent location (yet...), but instead will rely on monthly pop-up events around town. At each event they'll drop a new beer, have a party or other unique experience, and maybe bring along some other surprises. Each event will also share proceeds with a different charity.
The founders—Sean Marlin McKinney, Whit Baker, Andy Schnitzer, and Topher Fulton, founders and employees at Bond Brothers—are using this as sort of a side project to play with more experimental stuff, as well as do some interesting collaborations. "This is our way of having fun, shaking things up and giving back to a community that has been extremely supportive over the years," shares McKinney.
The first release is called "Cat's Out Of The Bag," and is a a Juicy IPA with Citra and Mosaic. The cat-themed party will be held at the just-opened downtown bar Junction West on Sunday, October 7. After the party, their beers will be sold from select bottle shops around the Triangle and beyond, including:
Get excited for more fun to come from the guys at Ancillary*!

Academy Hosts Got Your 6 "Storytellers" to Showcase Veteran Empowerment
Event will include Ryan Phillippe, star of upcoming USA Network conspiracy thriller, Shooter
The Television Academy is once again partnering on Storytellers, an annual event produced by the veteran empowerment campaign Got Your 6 to celebrate the accomplishments and inspirational stories of our nation's veterans. Scheduled as a lead up event to Veterans Day (November 11), the Television Academy hopes the Tuesday, November 1 event will increase awareness among content creators of Got Your 6's campaign to shift the narrative of veterans as "broken heroes" to one focusing on veterans as leaders and civic assets.
Storytellers gathers veterans, who deliver TED-style talks about their ideas, accomplishments, philosophies, and the many contributions they are making in their communities and workplaces. A study commissioned by Got Your 6 revealed that the general population stereotypes veterans as more likely than civilians to be unemployed, undereducated, homeless, and experience mental health issues. The reality is much more complex and the entertainment industry can play a role in changing the narrative.
Hosted at the Television Academy's Saban Media Center in Los Angeles, Storytellers will feature veteran and actor Jeff Bosley; founder and CEO of Combat Flip Flops, Matt Griffin; founder and CEO of the nonprofit TentEd, Zack Bazzi; Marjorie Williams of Endemol Shine; singer/songwriter Stephen Covell; and comedian Thom Tran.
The event will include remarks by Ryan Phillippe, who stars in the upcoming USA Network drama Shooter, which was honored by Got Your 6 as a "6 Certified" project. Phillippe plays Bob Lee Swagger, a highly decorated U.S. Marine Corps veteran who is coaxed back into action to prevent a plot to kill the President.
Television Academy members: to register for this event, click here.
"Our veterans have compelling, inspiring narratives to share, and it is imperative that we as an industry celebrate them," said Television Academy President and COO Maury McIntyre. "We are honored to present these moving and thought-provoking stories to the creative community in Southern California, and to host one of this year's Got Your 6 events in recognition of Veterans Day."
"Veterans are as diverse as the country we served, and Storytellers addresses the public's stereotypes about veterans head-on by showcasing the talents and groundbreaking innovations of those who wore the uniform," said Bill Rausch, Iraq War veteran and executive director of Got Your 6. "We thank the Television Academy for demonstrating their commitment by allowing veterans themselves to speak directly to the writers, producers, studio executives, and performers who create popular media."
The fourth annual talks will be live-streamed at facebook.com/GotYourSix and later distributed online. Videos from the 2015 event were viewed more than three million times.
In addition to Los Angeles, Got Your 6's Storytellers will be held in New York City on Wednesday, October 26 at the HBO Theater, and in Washington, D.C., on Thursday, November 10 at Discovery Communications. For more information and to register, visit gotyour6.org/storytellers.
Got Your 6 Storytellers is made possible by the generous support of Macy's, Wounded Warrior Project, Veterans United Foundation, Aspen Dental, American Express, Discovery Communications, HBO, Television Academy, NFLPA, General Dynamics, and Sword & Plough.
About Got Your 6

Frequently Asked Questions
SmugPush FAQ
What is SmugPush?
SmugPush is a third-party application for Smugmug.com. SmugPush pushes your local photo directory folder structure to SmugMug.com. It uses the first level of directories as SmugMug categories, the second level as Album names. SmugPush will create each Album and category (if necessary), and upload all the photos in each album.
Why should I use it?
I have SmugPush scheduled to run on my desktop computer every night. That way I can get the photos I want uploaded to SmugMug.com organized the way I want, and SmugPush will handle all the album creation and uploads while I'm asleep.
How does it work?
Here's a detailed overview
If you download the latest release you can unzip the file to see a sample of the "Root > Categories > Albums" folder structure.
How do I install it?
You don't have to install it, just run the smugpush.exe file in the root directory of your "Root > Categories > Albums" folder structure. You can also run it from the command line with your login information and you will not be prompted to enter anything.
smugpush.exe -e firstname.lastname@example.com -p yourpassword
SmugPush asks for my SmugMug.com login information, I don't want to give that to you.
You don't have to, SmugPush communicates directly with SmugMug.com's servers using their secure API.
Ok, I've used SmugPush a few times, what will happen if I delete a picture locally? Will SmugPush delete that picture on my SmugMug.com account?
Nope, smugpush only adds photos to SmugMug.com, it never deletes them. You will need to visit your SmugMug.com page to delete photos.
What if I move a local photo that has already been uploaded from Album A to Album B?
SmugPush will upload that photo a 2nd time to Album B on SmugMug.com. The photo will no longer be in your local Album A, but the same photo on SmugMug.com's Album A will remain untouched.
What if I change the file name of a local photo?
SmugPush will upload the changed photo as if it were a new photo. Then there will be 2 copies of the same photo on your SmugMug.com account.
SmugPush version 0.4
Download: SmugPush_0.2.zip
Unzip to see a sample folder structure. If you run smugpush.exe under the SmugPush directory it will upload a picture of our mascot Oswald to a album called Oswald under the category Family.
SmugPush Overview
SmugPush is a third-party application for smugmug.com. SmugPush pushes your local photo directory folder structure to SmugMug.com. It uses the first level of directories as SmugMug categories, the second level as Album names. SmugPush will create each Album and category (if necessary), and upload all the photos in each album.
The idea is that you can manage your photos locally, and have SmugPush run periodically in the background to push new Albums and Photos to SmugMug.com.
This program is intended for people who like manageing their own digital photo files using a hierarchy of directories and sub-directories. And who like using comand line programs.
This screen shot should give you a good idea of the directory format.
In the above example;

Kids might say the darndest things, but when Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell are those kids' parents, they not only say the darndest things but say them with feeling. Shepard was on The Ellen DeGeneres Show where he chatted about everything from his questionable taste in furniture placement to how family life is going.
Now, it's all hilarious and in good fun, so much so that you'll wish you could live with Dax and Kristen for a day. Or week. Or life, whatever. But if you're the kind of person that likes to give Chrissy Teigen a hard time, then you might already be preparing your list of scathing words for Dax.
"The worst thing that can happen — if you have kids, you know this — the worse thing of owning them is they wake up so early," Dax told Ellen, explaining why he goes to great lengths to light-proof his daughters' room. "I don't know what they think they're going to do, but uh…"
A confused DeGeneres interrupted him, asking, "What do you mean 'owning them'?" to which Shepard replied, "Well, we own a couple of these kids. We've got a 2013 model and a 2015 model, low miles if anyone's in the market. All highway. They're gorgeous."
He then elaborates that he covers their bedroom windows with aluminum foil ("It's like they're meth addicts") and puts a towel under the door ("They may suffocate"), all in an effort to block out daylight. But it was that one time when the nighttime routine took a painful turn that led to some colourful language coming from Dax's mouth. And because kids are basically adorable little sponges who remember and repeat almost everything, we think you know where we're going with this. All hail Lincoln and Delta (and Dax and Kristen)!

Bear with me please...
Friday, February 20, 2009
Last night I subscribed to a feed tracking service called Feedburner. I'm not sure what went askew in the process, but somehow it sent out a whole lot of weird stuff to people's feed readers in my name. Please bear with me, I think I'm figuring out how to fix things. In the meantime, please accept my apologies for unknowingly clogging up your readers. I'm very, very sorry!
PS If you notice any more weird issues with my feed from here on out, please feel free to let me know (via comment or email) and I'll see what I can do to fix it.

Changes in SSI and SSDI Benefits for 2015
2 comments:
I am homeless and receive $671 a month. A woman from my church has allowed me to stay in her home until i am able to get a place of my own, but Social Security of Missouri says that since i am staying here it is like free rent so i do not qualify for ssi. The problem is being a Christian woman she cannot just throw me out on the streets, so we are in a pickle. I should could use the SSI and that would help me find a place to live with even a little more income. My Christian woman is kind and very loving but i know she would like to have her home back. Her own family is findng is hard to come and visit with her because of the lack of room. I truly feel badly because i believe i am a burden to her. And i just want to get my own place. Is there anyway you could get back with me and help me in this situation? Thank you.ReplyDelete
I appreciate any increase! It's helpful to all of us on Social Security that the monthly allowance continues to increase. The cost of living goes up almost daily, and I need all of it. The increase to beneficiaries is of course necessary as well. The feeling of knowing that I'll be able to provide even if I'm gone is great.ReplyDelete

Overbay returns to Brewers on Minor League deal
Milwaukee hopes to add depth at first with left-handed-hitting veteran
The Brewers have taken a first baseman from the pre-Prince Fielder era and brought him back for the post-Fielder era.
Lyle Overbay, who filled first base before Fielder came to the Brewers, was signed by the club on Monday to a Minor League contract for 2014. The deal includes an invitation to Spring Training.
Overbay, who'll turn 37 on Jan. 28, is a left-handed hitter with 13 years of experience in the Majors. Last season with the Yankees, he had 14 homers, 24 doubles and 59 RBIs with a .240 average in 142 games.
The Brewers also signed corner infielder Mark Reynolds, a right-handed hitter, to a Minor League deal on Friday in an effort to shore up the first base position.
"It's a position where we may have to mix and match with Overbay, Reynolds, Juan Francisco. We've got numbers now to work with and guys can come into camp and be competitive," Brewers general manager Doug Melvin said.
"We know what Lyle has done before and we know what Mark Reynolds has done and so we'll look at it and see how it all shapes up six weeks later."
Overbay's career began with the D-backs followed by two years with Milwaukee in 2004-05. It was with the Brewers that Overbay hit his big-league stride with 16 homers, 87 RBIs and a .301 average in '04 and 19 homers, 72 RBIs and a .276 mark in '05.
Before the 2006 season, with Fielder ready to take over at first base full-time, Overbay was traded to the Blue Jays where he spent five productive seasons. In '06 with the Blue Jays, he reached career highs with 22 homers, 92 RBIs and a .312 average.
And now with Fielder long gone, he's back to help fill what has been a troublesome position for the Brewers.
"Francisco and Reynolds are power guys, Lyle is probably a little better overall hitter," Melvin said. "He brings experience to the clubhouse, he's a pretty good defender. Obviously, he's older and he can come off the bench. He brings some things to us."
In his 13 years, Overbay has compiled a .267 average with 147 homers, 342 doubles and 640 RBIs in 1,466 games. He's also played for the Pirates and Braves.
"I didn't think we'd be able to sign both Reynolds and Overbay, but sometimes the situation with two guys doing it, you might get some production," Melvin said.

At Dom Scala Baseball, we believe that instruction and repetition are the key to reaching a higher level in competitive play. With this philosophy we aim to create more complete and refined athletes.
Most coaches today are parents or volunteers who have only the best intentions, but it's hard to know the fine points of the game.There are basic fundamentals that everyone must learn and conquer, and we believe that creating a solid foundation is how to create stronger players. Covering all aspects of the game from pitching mechanics and batting to running for speed, your child will grow to reach their full potential during their time at Dom Scala Baseball camps. Our instructors are conditioned to refine their skills and strengthen their weaknesses while making sure they are having fun while doing so.
Dom, a former coach for the New York Yankees and current head coach at Adelphi University, draws upon his 35 years of professional experience as both a player and a coach. "The knowledge I have gained from some of the greatest Major League players, managers and coaches that have influenced my career is immeasurable, and I look forward to sharing that with your child", says Scala.
"If your child is serious about the game of baseball I guarantee this is the camp for them."

By Dale Kawashima
Savannah Philyaw, a promising pop/Americana singer/songwriter from San Diego, CA, has won the SongwriterUniverse "Best Song Of The Month" Contest for January, for her song "Love Remains" (co-written by Michael & Nancy Natter). Philyaw has released this song as a single, and she will be releasing other singles throughout this year.
"Love Remains" is a graceful, heartfelt ballad which has a positive lyric message. The starts with just vocals and acoustic guitar, and then builds into a full arrangement in the bridge sections. This recording provides a good showcase for Philyaw's expressive, lead and harmony vocals. "Love Remains" was skillfully produced by Joel Piper, a San Diego-based artist and producer. Piper also collaborated with Philyaw on the video for "Love Remains."
Philyaw (who is 21) was born and raised in San Diego, where she learned to play acoustic guitar at age 12 and then started writing songs a year later. She also plays some piano. Philyaw has been inspired by listening to such favorite artists as James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, Colbie Caillat and Jewel. During the past few years, she has been attending the prestigious Berklee College of Music, studying music business and songwriting. Currently, she is living and studying in Valencia, Spain for five months, and she'll return to the U.S. in May.
Philyaw has already released three EPs of her songs, starting in 2012. Notably, she has placed five of her songs with Warner Brothers TV productions. She has also opened shows for such artists as Howie Day, Tyler Hilton, Kate Voegele, Lee DeWyze and Max Frost.
Here's the video of Savannah Philyaw performing her song,"Love Remains."
With her song "Love Remains," Philyaw has taken a step forward, creating a pop/acoustic ballad which is well crafted and conveys a thoughtful lyric theme. She explains, "'Love Remains' is about staying positive when people come and go from our lives. I personally feel that we gain something from each person that comes into our lives whether we realize it or not at the time. I wrote this song based on someone who made an impact on my life. It is about friendships and relationships coming and going, but the memories and love remain."
After Philyaw returns to the U.S. in May, she will be done with school and plans to tour this summer and fall. Currently, she performs solo, but she is open to performing with a band. She will also be writing more songs, which is her passion. She says, "Songwriting is my release, my passion, and my best friend. It has allowed me to be honest and open without fearing judgement. I hope that my music can inspire others like other music inspires me.
"Sung with true gentleness is Savannah Philyaw's tender love ballad "Love Remains". With a delicate arrangement, the way the song unfolds gives it an earnest, intimate spirit. By opting for such a soft-spoken approach the lyrics carry great power. The unifying moment of the track is Savannah Philyaw's articulate storytelling, one which serves as the song's center. Vocals are easily the highlight of the song as her voice is extraordinarily expressive, with the light touch of the guitar works wonders. Airy acoustic guitar opens the song on a dreamy note. From this beginning a naturalistic, loose rhythm begins to emerge. Everything feels so wonderful as the way the song gradually builds up. The way that an entire life is expressed over the course of the piece feels particularly profound. Like the way a person looks back upon their life, all the happiness and sadness is quite fantastic. How a friendship grows can be such an incredible thing to behold."
Beach Sloth - Skope Mag
"Savannah has once again blessed us with her honeyed words and a voice that grounds you in the lusciousness of the present moment while simultaneously transporting you into a strange nostalgia for memories you haven't yet made. Her music always makes me bubbly-happy and leaves a lingering twang in my heart that will make me hum the tune in my head all day, smile at strangers, and maybe even take a bold chance to say hello to one sitting on a bench...
Give her latest song "Scotland" a listen and check out her self-made animated video (is there anything she CAN'T do?!)..."
-Mikayla B.
Listen to "Scotland" here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvZ_tFM9f7I
""Hurting You" offers a universal take on breaking away, it is also packed with countless clever lines and as many adhesive hooks. Bravo! It's all spot on. Nicely done, truly… It's a lovely track. Billboard Magazine Critic/Contributor Chuck Taylor"
