Nottingham families are moving in this week to the brand new homes in Sneinton built by Nottingham City Homes' very own workforce.
The eight new family homes have been built, project managed and completed by dozens of NCH tradespeople including apprentices, representatives from the Women in Construction team and team members who have been maintaining homes across the city for decades.
The homes are built on a former garage site which was disused and had begun to attract anti- social behaviour and vandalism. Each home has been built using a 'fabric first' approach, ensuring the buildings are as energy efficient as possible. Designed with solar panels on their roofs, the properties are designed to keep fuel bills as low as possible.
Nick Murphy, Chief Executive of Nottingham City Homes: "It's been fantastic to have the opportunity to build new homes again, alongside the people who've been maintaining and repairing Nottingham's council houses for many years. We're building our own capacity to build the homes Nottingham people need.
"We've had apprentices with us along the way, one of whom has served a huge amount of his apprenticeship on the site, has completed his qualifications and is now working for us as a qualified joiner."
The site team has also worked with the NCH Women in Construction initiative, offering work placements to those women training with the company through the scheme.
Councillor Alex Ball, Executive Assistant with responsibility for housing at Nottingham City Council, said: "I'm delighted to see what a difference these fantastic homes are making to the new residents already. They're not only providing new homes for Nottingham people, they're also helping to transform the local community, removing an area which attracted anti-social behaviour and replacing it with sustainable family homes for the future of social housing in the city."
The properties have been funded by the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA), which is committed to supporting sustainable housing programmes across the country.

Discourses Of Developmental English Education: Reframing Policy Debates, Aaron R. Tolbert
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
According to the National Educational Longitudinal Study, an estimated 28% of academically underprepared students who take developmental courses (preparatory, not credit-bearing) graduate within 8.5 years (Attewell, Lavin, Domina, & Levey, 2006), far below the national average graduation rate of near 60% of students for all postsecondary institutions (USDE, 2016). Given these statistics, some conclude that developmental education itself contributes to the low graduation rate of developmental students (Bailey, Jaggars, & Jenkins, 2015). Indeed, the causes of this attainment gap are the focus of vigorous debates by scholars from numerous disciplines, defining whether the problems exist within the organizational structure and climate of the institution, the developmental coursework, the students' academic preparedness, or with other factors (Bailey et al., 2015; Goudas & Boylan, 2012; Grubb & Babriner, 2013). Similarly, the research methodologies most appropriate to analyze the problems are also debated (Bailey et al., 2015; Goudas & Boylan, 2012; Grubb & Babriner, 2013). In fact, since developmental education's inception, scholars have disputed how to conduct basic skills education (Grubb & Babriner, 2013) and how best to support developmental students (Soliday, 2002). Despite the breadth of current inquiry, few scholars have used poststructural methodologies to explore the conceptual construction of "problems" related to developmental education, except within the field of basic writing (Horner & Lu, 1999).
Accordingly, the purpose of ...

How important is the rod in the overall scheme of bass fishing? Does it matter what type of rod you use? Let me ask you this… does a one-legged duck swim in circles? Of course it does and choosing the right bass fishing rod is vitally important. It is best used with jerkbaits.
There are many aspects to consider in a fishing rod such as feel, it's length, action and grip. If you are serious about bass fishing, even as a recreational past time then you'd better make sure you are using the right rod. Have you given thought to the components of the rod. Things such as what material the rod or the handle is? Is the rod graphite or fibreglass? Whether the handle fits into your hand comfortably or whether you have enough sensitivity which is vital in picking the difference between a true bite or a false alarm, and best baits for bass can help you react faster.
How's Your Bass Fishing Rod Length?
One mistake many anglers make is ignoring the length of a rod. Your height makes a big difference to the length you eventually select for several reasons. If you are on the short side, say 5'6 then you will be looking at a rod about six to six and a half feet in length. Why? Well, simple mathematics will dictate that the longer a rod is the more difficult it will be to handle. If you are out on the water for the entire day then continued casting and flipping is eventually going to take it's toll and if you are using a long rod then tiredness later in the day will be a major factor. Choose the right length that you feel comfortable with.

A Fresh Look at Salvation
At first glance, many Bible verses seem to support the Protestant understanding of salvation. The Protestant might say, "There are several passages that pit faith against works in order to demonstrate that salvation is—and can only be—a free gift, a grace (c.f. Ephesians 2)."
There is much to laud here; however, this notion is incomplete.
I will never fail to declare that salvation is a grace given by God. I, without God's grace and mercy, cannot merit salvation. Catholics, at least from the insider perspective, do not see themselves as meriting salvation apart from Christ's free gift.
That said, allow me to briefly explain why I disagree with the Protestant view. I will aim to do so in a slightly fresh way.
When the Scripture speaks of salvation by faith through grace, apart from the works of the law, it is referring to the means by which we are transferred from a state of condemnation to a state of grace. John 8:24 and John 11:25 are great examples of this instance. John and Paul are saying, "You Jews cannot be saved by the works of the Mosaic law. You Greeks cannot be saved by the works of the moral law. You are all sinners in need of a Savior. Merely believe in me, and I will save you from your present state of condemnation." For this reason, Paul often writes about this type of salvation in the middle of speaking about Jews, Gentiles, circumcision, Abraham, etc. He wants to demonstrate that ALL can come to Christ in faith. Upon reflecting on this fact, we realize that SHEER grace brought us into a state of grace, justifying us from our former selves. Moreover, baptism and faith are often together in the Scriptures because baptism is a sign of the shedding of the Greek-ness or the Jew-ness (both states of condemnation) and the gaining of status as the new creation.
About this sort of verse, the Council of Trent correctly asserts, and I will quote at length so that you get the idea in all of its particularities:
"The holy council declares first, that for a correct and clear understanding of the doctrine of justification, it is necessary that each one recognize and confess that since all men had lost innocence in the prevarication of Adam,[3] having become unclean,[4] and, as the Apostle says, by nature children of wrath,[5] as has been set forth in the decree on original sin,[6] they were so far the servants of sin[7] and under the power of the devil and of death, that not only the Gentiles by the force of nature, but not even the Jews by the very letter of the law of Moses, were able to be liberated or to rise therefrom, though free will, weakened as it was in its powers and downward bent,[8] was by no means extinguished in them. Whence it came to pass that the heavenly Father, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort,[9] when the blessed fullness of time was come,[10] sent to men Jesus Christ, His own Son, who had both before the law and during the time of the law been announced and promised to many of the holy fathers,[11] that he might redeem the Jews who were under the law,[12] and that the Gentiles who followed not after justice[13] might attain to justice, and that all men might receive the adoption of sons. Him has God proposed as a propitiator through faith in his blood[14] for our sins, and not for our sins only, but also for those of the whole world.[15] But though He died for all,[16] yet all do not receive the benefit of His death, but those only to whom the merit of His passion is communicated; because as truly as men would not be born unjust, if they were not born through propagation of the seed of Adam, since by that propagation they contract through him, when they are conceived, injustice as their own, so if they were not born again in Christ, they would never be justified, since in that new birth there is bestowed upon them, through the merit of His passion, the grace by which they are made just. For this benefit the Apostle exhorts us always to give thanks to the Father, who hath made us worthy to be partakers of the lot of the saints in light, and hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love, in whom we have redemption and remission of sins.[17]"
Now, I would imagine that Protestants and Catholics would agree about what the Council has written up to this point, but there is a divergence after this part.
Roman Catholics, to be true to the parts of Sacred Scripture that attest to her doctrines, assert that, though we initially receive justification by grace through faith (which we express in baptism), faith alone does not continue to justify us until the end. In this sense, I mean to say that faith alone means truly believing that Jesus is Lord and Savior. To preserve our state of grace, we must persevere in faith, hope, and love. Thanks be to God that we now can do so because we have been made new. With this in mind, all the glory goes to Christ, for he made us new in the first place! There is a difference between a Christian who obeys the commandments and an unregenerate person who obeys the commandments: in the first case, the glory is to God, who fulfills the law in us, and in the second case, the man cannot justify himself without the Holy Spirit, who washes and sanctifies.
It is from this perspective that Catholics analyze the Scriptures: namely, that abiding in God's love is necessary for salvation. We abide in his love by doing his will, obeying the commandments. We now have the power to effectively obey His commands because, as Paul writes in Romans, "God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us" (5:5). Those verses that speak of us failing short of the glory of God refer to the unregenerate, not to the regenerate, for the regenerate are no longer slaves but sons. The Father is jealous for the glory of his sons, but he is not jealous for the glory of his slaves. The laborer works for wages, but the son obeys his Father (Romans 3-4).
That said, it would be remiss of us to ignore the sections of Sacred Scripture that speak about abiding in salvation through means other than sheer faith. We receive eternal life by grace through faith, but we abide in it through faith, hope, and love.
In John's gospel, Jesus declares that we must abide in his love by obeying his commandments (John 15). In Luke's gospel, Jesus affirms the idea that we must love our neighbor and God in order to have eternal life (Luke 10). In Ephesians, "The wrath of God comes on those who are disobedient" (5:6). Notice that this interpretation makes sense, for Paul at first speaks of salvation by faith through grace, but, now that he is speaking of the lives of the regenerate, he urges them to OBEY by avoiding impurity, fornication, stealing, gossip, and idol worship. Likewise, Paul, in Galatians, speaks of salvation by faith alone in the first four chapters, but by salvation through obedience and doing good in five and six. Lastly, in the Book of Revelation, you will find that God is constantly calling his people to repent BOTH for their lack of faith as well as for their lack of hope and love. Who are God's saints ultimately? "Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and hold fast to the faith of Jesus" (14:12). Additionally, there is hellfire for those who "did not repent of their deeds" (16:11). The case of the church in Ephesus is paradigmatic: "I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first. Remember then from what you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent" (Rev. 2:4-5). We must repent for our lack of love, and we must do the works of God. On the day of judgment, Jesus will ask us if we know him. John reveals to us how we "know" Jesus: "Now by this we may be sure that we know him, if we obey his commandments" (1 John 2:3). For other examples of this sort of thing, please see the following: John 3:36, Matthew 24:9-13, 1 John 3:14, and Matthew 7:21.
In sum, if, when Protestants say "faith," they mean obedience to the commandments of God as well as belief in Jesus as Lord and Savior, then we agree entirely. However, if by faith, they do not include the obedience of his commandments in your regenerate state, then I think they are rejecting Sacred Scripture itself. Obedience is necessary for the regenerate. And thank God that, if we disobey, we can always repent with a contrite heart.
May God preserve his Church in faith, hope, and love.
Best wishes,
David J.W. Inczauskis

AIIC Workshop for Portuguese C interpreters
The International Association of Conference Interpreters, AIIC, categorizes interpreters according to their A, B, or C languages. Interpreters work into their 'A' language or their mother tongue in both consecutive and simultaneous modes. Interpreters may also work into a 'B' language because they are perfectly fluent in that language, but it is not their native language. Interpreters can work from a 'C' language, that is, one that they understand perfectly but into which they do not work.
Interpreters with Portuguese C or who would like to strengthen their Portuguese have a great opportunity to work with seasoned interpreters Raquel Schaitza and Richard Laver

Yale French Studies, Number 124
Walter Benjamin's Hypothetical French Trauerspiel
Edited by Hall Bjornstad and Katherine Ibbett
View Inside Price: $30.00
January 7, 2014
176 pages, 6 1/8 x 9 1/4
In the summer of 1927, Walter Benjamin wrote about a possible future project on what he called French Trauerspiel, or mourning drama. In this volume of Yale French Studies, an international team of leading scholars of early modern Europe takes its cue from that lapsed project to reread the seventeenth-century French tragic canon as Trauerspiel. These new readings draw attention to early modern French theater's reflections on chance and contingency, political compromise, the question of allegory, the philosophy of the provisional, the place of sound, and the status of the creaturely.
Hall Bjørnstad is assistant professor of French at Indiana University. Katherine Ibbett is reader in early modern studies at University College, London.

Quote of the Day
But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him?
Today's Answer
Why Does God Delay in Answering Prayer?
Charles Stanley
Scripture makes it clear that our heavenly Father hears and answers prayer. Yet we all experience times when, though we pray for God to act right away, He does not. What are some reasons for the delay?
At times the Lord sees that our attention is misdirected. Our relationship with Him should have priority over any earthly matter (Mark 12:30). Yet minds and prayers can become so fixed upon a need that our gaze shifts away from Him. The Father may delay His answer until we refocus on Him. In other situations, God waits because the timing is not right for granting our request. Perhaps certain events must happen first, or people's thinking needs to be changed.
There are also seasons when the Lord wants to stretch and grow our faith. One of the ways He accomplishes that is by having us watch for His response. The Holy Spirit will work in these times of waiting to mature us and bring forth righteous fruit (Galatians 5:22-23).
Other reasons are a wrong motive for our request (James 4:3) and the practice of habitual sin. We all fall short when it comes to God's standard of holiness, but some of us persist in a lifestyle of disobedience. The Lord may delay His answer so He can prompt us to confess our sin and turn back to Him.
Waiting on the Lord isn't easy—faith and trust are needed (Hebrews 11:1). If His answer is delayed, check that 1) your focus is on Him, 2) your motive for asking is God-honoring, and 3) you aren't practicing habitual sin. Then believe that His response will be for your good and His glory.

80-year-old Kenneth Smith was distraught enough when he recently lost his wife Helen to a drawn-out fight with cancer – but then the medical bills wiped out their savings and money.
So for the last year, Kenneth has been standing in the same spot on the side of the road selling kindling for $5 a bag.

Touched by the widower's kindness to strangers, she created a Facebook post requesting locals to support him and buy his wood.
"Last year he was there selling as well but he had his sweet little wife Helen with him," wrote Pittman. "He was selling to help pay for his wife's doctor visits and bills. This year he is alone. He said Helen lost her battle to cancer a few weeks ago and he is still selling to cover pay for her doctor bills."
"My heart breaks every time I pass him. He waves at every single car that passes. On Friday, I was at the stop sign as a funeral procession was passing by. And he was standing alert with his straw hat over his heart."

After seeing the Facebook post, Kenneth's daughter Leslie created a GoFundMe for people who weren't able to buy the kindling.
Since its creation 9 days ago, the page raised $105,000 from strangers.
Someone of relation to Kenneth named Becky Stewart commented on the page with his reaction.
"My dad just came by and he is as nervous as a cat on a hot tin roof. He said he 'hoped people did not think he was begging for money.' I told him people thought he was inspiring. He has always worked hard," Becky wrote. "Thanks so much for the donations your outpouring of love is what I find truly inspiring."

Dear K.,
So it is happening . Now we have in Tokyo new art-spot-to-must-visit: ESPACE LOUIS VUITTON Tokyo. Where? on 7th floor of Louis Vuitton Omotesando store. For this year there are planned three major exhibitions with possible smaller events happening in between. Last Friday, 14th January, all started with the opening of its first exhibition of renowned French artist Xavier Veilhan. We all know his amazing cubic-ish installations? sculptures? but definitely a BIG-ART with capital "B" and capital "A"- that`s for sure.
Mr Veilhan brought 4 pieces of his new work to Tokyo and especially for Tokyo – as I had a chance to have a quick chat with the artist I found out that the place to which he commissions his art takes an important part in his creative process /also as part of the inspiration/ – and I can absolutely relate to it, especially when I do my murals. Of course there are also some exhibitions of Mr Veilhan which travels, changing their locations – in this case I guess it is rather finding new connection between the piece and the new space. New value. New quality. And there is the significance of the colour of the objects which is for the reasons – as Mr Veilhan kindly explained it to me – no coincidence. And obviously it depends on the work. So at ESPACE LOUIS VUITTON Tokyo we have 4 pieces of his work: REGULATOR, TOKYO STATUE, FREE FALL, STABILE – perfectly landed on 7the floor of LV store and perfectly "match" with its surroundings – Tokyo landscape – especially when you view it during the day time!
Xavier Veilhan TOKYO STATUE, 2011
I read something really interesting what Mr Veilhan said that " we look at the art work of the artist in a context over which the author has absolutely no control", that " it goes beyond artist control or personal judgment, but at the same time, it is an extension of this judgment and of this decision". And this really made me think a lot. So we can talk about "uncontrolled extensions of our creations" – and this makes sense to me now as I`ve always thought the moment I finished my piece is the moment of its birth and our "departure" in the same time, when I don't have absolutely no control over it any more, I mean how it will "live", how it will be viewed. And I was surprised many times when people were giving me some feed back: surprised because I didn't expected it at all /in a way it didn't really matter to me to get it/ and because it was different to mine point of view when I was creating it. But then I need to admit that often there was this "uncontrolled" extension of me in people opinions about which before I was not really aware of, at least not so consciously.
anyway, the exhibition is till May 8th. will you be back by then? I so do hope so. I so do wish so.
Forever and Always
PS The little chat I had with Mt Veilhan was really inspirational. What else I could say bout him? one word:… CHARMING. I was far too shy to ask him to take a picture of him, so all images of Mr Veilhan I have thanks to courtesy Mari Saito of LV Press Office. I just need to say Big THANK YOU to Mari san. xxx

Nike is one of the world's most popular sporting goods companies. If you run a small business devoted to the sporting life, offering products from high-profile companies like Nike can help your business grow. Before you can legally sell their products, you'll need to become a Nike distributor. Nike receives a large number of requests for distribution accounts. To improve your chances of being accepted, be sure your business has what it takes to support a hot property like Nike sneakers and sporting goods. When you're ready to apply, request an application packet by e-mail.
Compose an e-mail addressed to email@example.com, announcing your interest in becoming a Nike distributor. Avoid applying prior to your business' launch; your retail business should already be operating at the time of application.
Include the following contact information in your e-mail: Your company's name Name of the customer contact person at your company Your business e-mail address (or e-mail address of appropriate contact person) Company mailing address
Wait seven to 10 business days to receive your application packet from Nike. Read and fill out application documents, then return to Nike as specified. Expect to wait up to a few weeks to be notified of your account status.
Make sure your business is mature enough to support their products; this will improve your chances of being accepted as a Nike distributor. Having multiple brick-and-mortar stores from which you operate, or securing distribution accounts with other high-profile companies within your product niche will improve how your business looks "on paper". Remember that Nike is a business just like yours, they will ultimately choose whether to allow you to distribute their products based on how potentially beneficial your business is to them.
Most recent
- Nike asks for the same information for both domestic and international distribution account application requests. Since company policies are subject to change, be sure to announce in your e-mail whether you plan to sell Nike products in the United States or internationally.
- Do not advertise Nike products before you have been approved to sell them.
- Note that application does not guarantee acceptance.
- If your business is just starting out, be prepared for rejection. Remember that Nike is also a business, and will prefer to do business where it will benefit them most.

Recent work carried out by the PSNI and the PCSP in Gilford in an effort to tackle a recent upsurge of anti-social behaviour, has been welcomed by a local MLA.
DUP MLA Sydney Anderson said: "As a result of complaints I received from local residents I recently convened a meeting with some of the affected parties, the PSNI and Gilford Concerned Residents Group. Following our discussions the PSNI took a proactive approach and a number of the problems that existed have been resolved.
"I am also aware that after our initial meeting the residents group have engaged with the PSNI and the local PCSP with a view to ensuring greater accessibility to police and increased community engagement. The PSNI also agreed to look at a number of operational matters going forward. Additionally, representatives from the PCSP recently attended the Kindred Spirits Over 50s Club to advise residents on home security, with timer switches also being handed out.
"I welcome that as part of the ongoing effort to deal with anti-social behaviour and burglaries in the Gilford area, GCRG have agreed to again meet with the police and the PCSP to see if some form of enhanced neighbourhood watch scheme might be put in place in the near future. I would continue to urge the people of Gilford to be vigilant and engage with the statutory authorities around these issues when required."
A spokesperson for the Gilford Concerned Residents' Group said: "We would like to place on record our thanks to Sydney Anderson MLA for facilitating the initial meeting on anti-social behaviour problems in the village. We also commend the PSNI and the PCSP for their efforts in moving the situation forward and helping to resolve some of the present issues."

Giordano returns to Flames' lineup tonight
Issuing a confirmation this morning, coach Bob Hartley wasted no time — yes, the captain is back.
Calgary Flames defender Mark Giordano, sidelined since Oct. 21 with a broken ankle, will suit up against the visiting Phoenix Coyotes.
"Gio was seen by the doctors this morning," said Hartley. "He got the green light, so he was cleared. He'll be in the lineup tonight."
Giordano, in the midst of career year when he was felled by a shot in Los Angeles, is, in many ways, the team's most valuable player.
The Flames were 4-2-2 when he was hurt.
At the time, averaging 25:03 of ice time per night, Giordano had nine points.
"At the NHL level — or, I feel, at any level — when you wear the C, not only are you a great player, you're also a special person," said Hartley. "Our best leader is coming back to our group. We're going to play with him. I've already sat with him . . . and we're going to communicate during the game. We're going to see how he feels. He's worked tremendously hard. His conditioning should be great.
"We'll have to wait to see how the game goes, but we should see Gio on penalty killing, on power play, on five-on-five."
After starting the season with T.J. Brodie, Giordano returns on a pairing with Chris Butler.
"Yeah, it feels great," Giordano said of his return. "It sucks sitting out, there's no other way around it. Pretty excited to get back and get the first couple shifts in."
* Michael Cammalleri/Matt Stajan/Lee Stempniak
* David Jones/Mikael Backlund/Jiri Hudler
* Sven Baertschi/Joe Colborne/Blair Jones
* Lance Bouma/Paul Byron/Brian McGrattan
Scratch — Max Reinhart
* Kris Russell/T.J. Brodie
* Chris Butler/Mark Giordano
* Ladislav Smid/Shane O'Brien
Scratches — Chris Breen, Derek Smith
* Karri Ramo (3-4-1, 3.23 GAA, .890)
* Reto Berra (3-6-2, 3.51 GAA, .888)
For Phoenix, G Thomas Greiss (3-1-0, 2.06 GAA, .936) gets the start.

Football is an Imperfect Game, Just Ask the Georgia Bulldogs
A few weeks ago I had breakfast with former Tennessee Volunteer coach Phillip Fulmer. The purpose of the breakfast was not football-related, but seeing as the vast majority of my recreational conversations end up involving pigskin, the topic was all but inevitable given Fulmer's long SEC coaching tenure.
Somewhere along the way we came to the subject of college vs. professional football. I stated my case to Coach Fulmer the same way I have on this very site several times. I favor the collegiate game for two distinct reasons:
- The atmosphere at a big-time college football game is not paralleled in American sport.
- I enjoy the imperfect intricacies that can only be found when the game is played by 20 year-old college students.
As I expressed my appreciation for the unexpected, Coach Fulmer laughed ironically. "That's the very thing that makes coaching at the collegiate level so difficult," he offered with a wisdom that was suddenly inescapable.
To be certain, the point was not necessarily an uncommon one. Obviously, a different level of skill, precision and preparation separates professionals from amateurs in any vocation. There's a reason you seek medical attention from doctors, not pre-med students. The same distinction is also found within athletics.
And yet, although he wasn't preaching a previously undefined principle, there's a certain degree of undeniable truth that accompanies a BCS National Champion when he says, "You never quite know what's going to happen in a college football game." And in the parking lot of the Marietta Diner, Phil Fulmer (the winner of the first ever BCS National Championship Game) was saying just that.
In the sort of dramatic irony that only the most devious of external football forces could conjure up, the imperfection of college football was on full display in Knoxville on Saturday when the Georgia Bulldogs took on Fulmer's alma mater.
The sixth-ranked Bulldogs arrived in Knoxville with plenty to be proud of and a number of causes for optimism. The Dawgs' lone setback – a three-point road loss to Clemson in a game that was riddled by early season mishaps – seemed to have taken place centuries ago. Simultaneously, the celebration of home wins over two Top 10 SEC teams (South Carolina and LSU) seemed to still be in full swing.
Throw in a seemingly reasonable upcoming stretch of games against Tennessee, Missouri and Vanderbilt, and the logical assumption was that the Bulldogs would be 7-1 heading into the annual Jacksonville showdown with the Florida Gators in early November.
That scenario is hardly eliminated, but the deficiencies that were exposed (or perhaps, created is the better word) along with the general unexpectedness of Saturday's game against the Volunteers have replaced optimism with doubt, hope with concern.
On paper and in sportsbooks, Georgia was heavily favored against Tennessee. Even the perceived obstacles for the Bulldogs – a potential lack of focus, Tennessee's tendency to "play up" against UGA – seemed a bit contrived. But in a few randomly chaotic plays – the type that drives coaches mad – the game nearly slipped out of the Dawgs' hands and the roots of growing optimism turned dry.
Keith Marshall was injured on a pass attempt out to the flats. An ACL tear will keep him out for the remainder of the season. Justin Scott-Wesley tore his ACL running downfield in punt coverage; the punt was caught without a return. Michael Bennett, who suffered an ACL tear of his own last season, went down with a knee injury away from a play's action. He might return this season, but he's having his knee scoped this week and is certainly out against Missouri.
In three plays of little in-game consequence, Georgia lost nearly one-third of its offense. In an overtime road victory over a division rival, Georgia seemed to lose all momentum.
To be sure, players will step up. J.J. Green, Brendan Douglas and Rantavious Wooten are already doing their best impressions of the stars they're trying to replace. Todd Gurley will return. The defense will mature and presumably improve.
On one hand, I trust Mark Richt to make personnel changes that benefit the team. I expect him to do the most he can with what's left on the roster.
But on the other hand, I'm not sure if it will matter. College football is an imperfect game. And that imperfection sure made the sport hard to love this weekend.
Oddly enough, I suppose that puts me and Phil Fulmer on the same page.
Don't get me wrong: I still love the game and this team. But that hurt, and I wasn't even on the field.
That's all I got/

You gotta be tough not only to play this game but also to watch it and to love it….and I think this weekend reminded all of us of that!

When I matriculated at Boston University, graphic designers were in high-demand. Reports of top-talent receiving signing bonuses had dollar signs dancing in my head. Upon graduation, however, I entered a market reeling from the dot-com bust. A talent-heavy candidate pool rendered jobs scarce, making my BFA feel like a crayon doodle. Unsurprisingly, I found myself freelancing.
I wasn't alone. This sudden increase of over-qualified free agents gave birth to a "do it for your portfolio" marketplace — paying gigs were often bid down to nothing. This was the golden age of Craigslist.
My first project was sourced from Mr. Newmark's eponymous site: a logo design for $50, no contract. Upon completion, I sent the file — the client never paid.
When I became a full-time painter in 2009, I vowed to be entrepreneurial, and treat my art career like a business. Here are ten things I've learned along the way.
1. Selling Out Is In
The stigma is gone. You are a brand. Be the advertising. Sell your work. Sell yourself. A few musts:
Takeaway: Not making enough money to continue making art is the new sell out.
Bonus: It's already a movement — #Sellout.
2. Live By The Schedule
The corporate world revolves around the schedule — so should your art career. Be rigid:
Takeaway: A traditional career path does not exist for an artist — scheduling is a variable you can, and must control.
*Bonus: Inspiration is for amateurs.
3. Everything Under Contract
Never sell a piece of art without a contract. Family? Contract. Friend? Contract. Here's why:
Takeaway: If someone refuses to sign a basic contract of sale, walk away... no matter how much you need the money.
Bonus: You probably have lawyer friends, ask them for contractual advice.
4. Price Your Work Responsibly
Many artists get a whiff of success, channel Damien Hirst and triple their prices. This is wrong. You must be reasonable:
Takeaway: It's more sustainable to sell five sculptures at $2000, than to sell one at $5000.
Bonus: A volume of pricing information exists online — do your research.
5. Build Your Market
When you string together a series of sales — you have built a market. For this market to stabilize and grow, you must:
Takeaway: Your prices are only as legitimate as the integrity of your market, never sell for less.
Bonus: Think like an investor — read this piece by Abigail R. Esman (from 2012, but still relevant).
6. Pay Income And Sales Tax
If don't file for two years, find success and suddenly report a six-figure income — the IRS will take notice. Here are a few tips:
Takeaway: Aboveboard financial practices are essential in building a long-term, sustainable business.
Bonus: Here are some excellent resources, courtesy of the New York Foundation for the Arts.
7. Have A Master Price List
When you receive a price request, be it in-person, over email or social media — having a master price list is critical. A few tips:
Takeaway: Pricing is a major mystery in Contemporary Art, transparency will facilitate sales.
Bonus: Have the URL and Password information readily available, a sale can happen at any time.
8. Business Outreach Is Critical
The seeds you plant today blossom into next year's business — never stop making connections. A few points:
Takeaway: Collectors rarely materialize out of thin air, you must be proactive.
Bonus: Think like a marketer: subscribe to SmartBrief and scan the newsletter daily.
9. Pitch The Press Constantly
Every article needs a beautiful picture. Declare war on stock images, and pitch your work to the media. Remember:
Takeaway: News happens quickly, if the media contacts you — respond right away.
Bonus: Here is a great piece by Cheryl Conner on pitching the press.
10. Be Thematic
Nearly everything you read, including this post, comes in a list format — it's easy to digest. Accordingly, plan your art:
Takeaway: Themes connect — make it easy for people to acquire and write about your work.
Bonus: Learn from the best — take a look at how Kehinde Wiley serializes his paintings.
Remember — it's easy to get carried away with the work of an entrepreneur. Always remember why you're doing this in the first place, and never stop creating.
If you'd like me to explore any of the topics above in greater detail, just let me know in the comments. Thank you for reading — if you found this helpful, please do share.

Every now and then I link up with Lauren Elizabeth top list my top 5 for the week, so here's what's going on in my world right now:
1. I scored this sweet 7×10 rug from Bed, Bath and Beyond for just $90 (!!!) and it arrived on Monday. It is absolutely perfect in my living room, and spurred me to rearrange some things and I'll be reupholstering a bench soon too. (Pro tip: This rug was on clearance and not available in my store but you can't use a 20% off coupon online even though they don't restrict clearance items– go into the store and order online with an associate to use the coupon)
2. My garden is doing a great job at providing us with a bit of food. I've got more herbs then I know what to do with (a sprig of spearmint in my water everyday for the past few weeks…mmm!) and lots of cucumbers right now, my tomatoes are starting to turn red and both types of peppers should be ready in a few weeks too. Success!
3. Matt and I just finished watching the first 2 seasons of Hannibal and it is excellent. If you like horror tv then this is a must watch, every single detail is amazing from the set design to the script.
4. This past weekend from Saturday-Monday afternoon Matt and I had our nephew over to our house. We adventured to the children's discovery museum, to a huge petting zoo farm, and to the park. He's going to be 2 next month so it was really fun (and exhausting!) to have a long weekend slumber party and play all weekend.
5. Tomorrow we're going on a day trip with 2 of our best friends to their home town and it should be a fun, silly day with good food and good laughs. I've been looking forward to it for weeks!
How's your week been? What's happening in your world?

Considering that Fairy Falls is also labeled "moderate," there was some consternation on my end.
The falls were well worth it.
The falls were well worth it.
We spent the ride home counting mileage and making the appropriate alterations to our guidebook by writing notes in the margins, just as more fog was creeping in over the hills.
I would go back to this trail in a second.

You are involved in a contested custody case. You represent a parent. The child is seeing a therapist. The child is under age 12. You want to review the therapy notes and take the deposition of the therapist.
The applicable statute is the Illinois Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Confidentiality Act. 740 ILCS 110/1. If the child is under age 12, either parent may consent to a release of the records. In Re: Kerman, 253 Ill.App. 3d 492 191 Ill.Dec 682 624 N.E. 2d 870 (2ndDistrict 1993). 740 ILCS 110/4(a)(1). Therefore, the parent can go to the therapist, get the records, and review them.
Once the child is age 12 or older, the child has his or her own privilege. 740 ILCS 110/4(a)(2). Therefore, the child can block the parent from getting the records. However, subparagraph (a)(3) may permit the therapist to release the records if the child is informed and does not object "or if the therapist does not find that there are compelling reasons for denying the access." So if the child objects, perhaps the therapist could give you the reason. Most likely, most therapists will not release the material. Then, the same statutory section permits the parent to petition the court for access to the records.
What if your client gets the records, can you then review them? 740 ILCS 110/5(d) "no person or agency to whom any information is disclosed under this Section may re-disclose such information unless the person who consented to the disclosure specifically consents to such re-disclosure." If the child is under age 12, your client got the records and can consent to give them to you. If the child is 12 or over and consents to the parent having the records, the child must also consent to let you read them. If the therapist releases the records to the parent, the therapist must consent to release them to you.
You decide rather than messing around with all of the above, you are just going to issue a records deposition subpoena to the therapist, get the records, review them yourself, and then decide whether or not you want to depose the therapist. You decide you want to depose the therapist and you issue a subpoena for deposition. Now what?
First of all, a records deposition subpoena must comply with Local Court Rule 3.09(d) which contains a certain legend which must be on all subpoenas. It must be conspicuous. In the Rule, it is all in caps, the last line is all in caps, bolded, and underlined. It reads as follows: "Do not forward materials before the date stated on subpoena." What most attorneys do is issue the subpoena returnable on a certain date and tell the person or entity subpoenaed that he or she need not appear at the records deposition if the records are provided before the date of the deposition. This violates the Local Court Rule.
Local Court Rule 3.09(f) permits any party to request copies of all materials obtained by any other party pursuant to a records deposition subpoena. However, it appears the material must be request. Therefore, the person issuing the records deposition subpoena has no affirmative obligation to provide the materials to all other parties unless asked.
More important than the form, is 740 ILCS 110/10 entitled Disclosure in Civil, Criminal, and Other Proceedings. A therapist has the privilege to refuse to disclose the records. The records may be disclosed only after a Court finds "after an in-camera examination of testimony or other evidence, that it is relevant, probative, not unduly prejudicial or inflammatory, and otherwise clearly admissible…" In any action brought or defended under the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, "mental conditions shall not be deemed to be introduced merely by making such claim and shall be deemed to be introduced only if the recipient or a witness on his behalf first testifies concerning the record or communication." 740 ILCS 110/10(a)(1).
The situation is that the mental health services recipient must first put his or her mental condition in evidence by testifying about it and then the door is opened. Before that, the door is not open and the material cannot come in.
740 ILCS 110/10(d) requires that no party to a proceeding nor his or her attorney "shall serve a subpoena seeking to obtain access to records or communications under this Act unless the subpoena is accompanied by a written order issued by a Judge, authorizing the disclosure of the records or the issuance of the subpoena. No persons shall comply with the subpoena for records or communications under this Act, unless the subpoena is accompanied by a written order authorizing the issuance of the subpoena or the disclosure of the records." Therefore, if the lawyer issues a subpoena without the court order, the therapist must not provide the records.
The safest way to attempt to get the mental health records is to move the Court to issue a records deposition subpoena returnable to the Court. In your motion explain to the Court why the records are necessary and relevant to your side of the case. If the Judge agrees, the Judge will order the therapist to release the records sealed to the Court for an in-camera review by the Court. The Court will then review the records and determine whether or not they should be introduced into evidence. If so, you get them in. If not, you do not.
If you want to take the deposition of the therapist, then you must go through the same procedure, ask the Court to permit you to issue a deposition subpoena. Attach a copy of the order to the subpoena.
Maybe there is an easier way. How about if you know that your opposing party is seeing a psychiatrist and taking medication. However, you do not know what medication, nor why. You know that the prescriptions are filled at a certain pharmacy. Therefore, you decide to subpoena the pharmacist to find out what drugs have been dispensed to your opposing party. Then, with that information, you can also find out who the psychiatrist is, and then you can go get records from the psychiatrist. While that may be a brilliant idea, it may not work.
A husband served a subpoena on three drug stores seeking prescription records for his wife. The Circuit Court denied the wife's motion to quash the subpoena but certified the following question to the Appellate Court: Are requests for pharmaceutical records from pharmacy protected under the Illinois Mental and Developmental Confidentiality Act?" It was an interlocutory appeal pursuant to Illinois Supreme Court Rule 308. The First District, Third Division, decided that the pharmacy records are included in those records protected from disclosure under the Act. In Re: The Marriage of Jennifer Peters-Farrell and Thomas Peters-Farrell, 345 Ill.App. 3d 603 802 N.E. 2nd 1250 280 Ill.Dec 729 (1st Dist. 2003).
The Illinois Supreme Court granted leave to appeal and vacated the judgment of the Appellate Court and dismissed the appeal as moot because while the interlocutory appeal was pending, the parties settled the case and entered a Judgment for Dissolution of Marriage. The Court held "we cannot grant Jennifer any effectual relief in this case because the Judgment of Dissolution resolved all issues, including her challenge to the subpoenas that sought disclosure of her prescription records. Therefore, this case is clearly moot." The Supreme Court vacated the judgment of the Appellate Court and dismissed the appeal as moot.
Well, now what? Since there is no law saying you cannot, perhaps you can subpoena the pharmacy. If a Rule 23 opinion is not precedential, is a vacated opinion precedential? I suspect that any further attempts to subpoena pharmacy records for psychotropic drugs will meet the same response that the Appellate Court gave in the Peters-Farrell case.
What if you wish to subpoena a medical doctor and depose him or her? Illinois Supreme Court Rule 204(c): "The discovery depositions of non-party physicians being deposed in their professional capacity may be taken only with the agreement of the parties and the subsequent consent of the deponent or under a subpoena issued upon order of Court. A party shall pay a reasonable fee to a physician for the time he or she shall spend testifying at any such deposition. Unless the physician was retained by a party for the purpose of rendering an opinion at trial, or unless otherwise ordered by the Court, the fee shall be paid by the party at whose instance the deposition is taken."
I believe that clearly a psychiatrist is a physician governed by Rule 204(c). Probably a psychologist, even a PhD, is not but then you are left with all of the above to contend with.
There is an excellent article by Belle Lind Gordon in the July, 2005 issue of the Illinois State Bar Association's Section on Family Law Newsletter, entitled "The Affect of HIPAA on Discovery and Divorce Cases." To summary Belle's article, HIPAA supercedes Illinois Law. If you wish to subpoena medical records or a medical provider, there must be a qualified protective order attached to the subpoena. There must be written authorization from the patient or a statement that proper notice has been given to the patient or has provided a proposed court order. In order to get a copy of her article, become a member of the Illinois State Bar Association. Go to its website, www.isba.org. On the left side of the home page is a red box. Under publications, click on newsletters. Then, if you are a member of the Family Law Section, you can view archived and current issues of the newsletter. If you are not a member of the Family Law Section, if you are going to do divorces, you should become a member.
There is another tool on the ISBA website which can be very helpful. Those are the various discussion groups. Although joining one results in the receipt of many daily emails, the discussion groups can be very helpful in researching questions such as the one presented in these materials. A lot of the cases cited here were provided to me by Sandra Nye of that discussion group and answers to questions others asked about the Mental Health Act. There is a wealth of research material available in the brains of other members of the ISBA. The discussion groups are a way to tap them.
Here are some opinions dealing with items mentioned in these materials:
In Re: The Marriage of Lombaier, 200 Ill.App.3d 712, 558 N.E. 2d 388; 146 Ill.Dec 425 (First District 1990). In that case, the wife had been psychiatrically hospitalized several times. The husband sought custody of the children and restriction of the wife's visitation. The husband asked the court to permit the deposition of the wife's psychiatrist. The wife objected under the Mental Health Confidentiality Act to any discussion of whether or not she was required to take medication and to the deposition of her psychiatrist. The trial court overruled her objections and permitted the deposition. The Appellate Court held that the trial court failed to comply with Illinois Law by refusing to honor the wife's decision not to introduce her mental condition into the proceedings and to compel the psychiatrist's deposition. She did not first testify concerning privileged communications, she tried to assert her privilege. Absent that evidence, there was nothing in the record to justify restricting her visitation or excluding her from the martial residence. The trial court was reversed.
Norskog v Pfiel, 197 Ill.2d 60; 755 N.W.2d 1; 257 Ill.Dec. 899 (2001). In that case, a man was convicted of murdering a woman. The woman's mother was the administratrix of her estate. She sued the murderer and his parents. She tried to discover the psychiatric records of the murderer as well as any psychiatric information disclosed to the parents of the murderer before the murder. The trial court ordered the disclosure and held the family in contempt for not disclosing the material. The Appellate Court reversed holding that the information sought was protected under the Illinois Mental Health and Disabilities and Confidentiality Act. The Illinois Supreme Court affirmed.
Mandziara v Canulli, 299 Ill.App. 3d 593, 701 N.E. 2d 127, 233 Ill.Dec. 484 (First District 1998). In this case the lawyer subpoenaed some mental health records and brought them to court and they were used by a Judge in a custody case. The lawyer represented the father. The father won custody. The mother sued the lawyer. The Appellate Court found that the mother had a right to sue the lawyer for serving a records deposition subpoena on the hospital without a court order. Let this be a lesson to us all.
Renzi v Morrison, 249 Ill.App. 3d 5, 618 N.E. 2d 794, 188 Ill.Dec 224 (First District 1993). The wife was being treated by a psychiatrist. The husband filed a divorce case. The psychiatrist voluntarily appeared at the custody hearing and offered to testify for the husband. The wife objected to the testimony as privileged and confidential. The trial Judge overruled the objection and let the psychiatrist testify. The psychiatrist revealed communications, the results of psychological tests and offered her opinion on the wife's emotional health. The trial court decided that this testimony tipped the balance of the scale in favor of the husband and awarded him temporary custody of the child. The wife then sued the psychiatrist. The Appellate Court held that the wife had a viable cause of action against the psychiatrist. Let that be a lesson to you all.
Martino v Family Service Agency of Adams County, 112 Ill.App.3d 593, 445 N.E. 2d 6, 67 Ill.Dec. 714 (Fourth District 1982). A wife was in therapy with a social worker. The social worker disclosed certain information to the husband and used the information to form an intimate relationship with the husband. The wife sued for malpractice, breach of contract to provide therapy services and breach of the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Confidentiality Act. The Appellate Court held that there was a viable cause of action against the social worker for violating the privilege contained in the Mental Health Act.
People v Kaiser, 239 Ill.App. 3d 295, 606 N.E. 2d 695, 179 Ill.Dec. 863 (Second District 1992). The defendant was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and improper lane usage. The State issued a subpoena for the defendant's hospital records. The defendant moved to quash the subpoena under the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Confidentiality Act. The Second District held that Act was broader than the physician-patient privilege and that all communications and records generated in connection in providing mental health services to a recipient were protected unless excepted by State Law. The Appellate Court concluded that the State failed to show how the matter was not privileged and quashed the subpoena.
Reda v Advocate Health Care, 199 Ill.2d 47, 765 N.E. 2d 1002, 262 Ill.Dec. 394 (2002). A man and his wife sued a hospital and a physician claiming medical malpractice and neurological injury to the man. The defendants in that malpractice case requested the man's psychiatric records. The attorney refused to disclose them invoking the Mental Health Therapist-Patient Privilege. The trial court held the lawyer in contempt for refusing to comply with discovery. The Appellate Court affirmed. The Supreme Court reversed stating that a neurological injury was not the same as psychological damage; neurological injuries did not directly result in psychological damage. A party can introduce his or her mental health in several ways during the course of litigation including pleadings, answers to discovery, depositions, briefs, motions, or arguments before a court or by stipulation. In this case, the plaintiff had not introduced his mental condition as an element of his claim and therefore the records were privileged under the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Confidentiality Act.

Ive been using some Dermalogica products and find them to be very good. I mix this with a moisturizer and it seems to be brightening my dull skin. If I decide to continue using it Ill only buy it from LovelySkin because of their great discounts.

Good treatment
Ive used this product now for about 10 days and I mix this with the overnight serum as my nighttime treatment. I notice my skin is plump and smooth in the morning, but want to go out a little further before I can make a true determination that this is worth the cost. If experience guides me, this brand doesnt disappoint. But I will update.

When resume writing, you need to think 'outside the job.' We all obtain skills and abilities from job experience and education. We also get them from outside the work environment and those can be as valuable to employers. Many of these were not learned on the job or demonstrated for an employer. This does not diminish their value and therefore you should take stock of your assets that might not have been obtained or proven in traditional employment positions.
Here is an example:
- Strong negotiating skills obtained from experience of bringing rival gangs together to work side by side for completion of a city beautification project.
That is a testament to negotiating skills. Can you imagine any business negotiating that would be tougher than that?
How about this resume writing example:
- Resourceful and quick ability to prioritize tasks proven by choosing targets based on level of threat while under fire as a soldier in the Iraq war.
This one sentence makes me want to hire this person.
Here is another:
- Perform well under pressure and have responsive decision making skills demonstrated by administering CPR to unconscious swimmer pulled from the ocean. (She was revived.)
This would be another great person to have around. OK so maybe you haven't been to war or saved anyone's life. Skills and abilities can be developed or demonstrated in everyday situations also.
- Management and leadership required to supervise church group of twenty seven middle school students on two five hour bus rides and entire weekend retreat including six hour raft trip. (Everyone survived.)
- Patience and empathy established during volunteer work with developmentally disabled children.
- Proven management and organizational talent developed by running a family household of five for a pilot husband for eleven years.
- Motivational skills expanded as the Captain of college soccer team with a 36-6 record.
When resume writing you can include relevant statements from unconventional situations to show additional skills you possess to shore up areas where you are weak in job experience. Employers appreciate employees with strong skills and look for those in candidates. That you obtained and exhibit desirable and relevant employee attributes in circumstances outside the job shows you are a learner and responsible.
