Aidan's First Fishing Trip!
Despite Aidan's constant requests to go fishing, Dale hadn't gotten around to taking him until recently. When our neighbor/friend offered to take the two of them out fishing on his boat (I had to work) they jumped at the offer. Aidan was sooooooo excited to finally try out one of his two fishing poles, lol. He decided on using the big one, so he could be sure to catch a BIG fish!
As I watched the 3 "boys" walk down to the boat, just seeing Aidan carrying that big ol' fishing pole (twice his size) with such pride made me smile. He wasn't about to let anyone else carry his pole down for him. It made him feel like such a big boy!
The boys came back with 19 fish total- Aidan caught 4, Dale caught 1, and our neighbor/friend Carl caught the rest. Aidan was proud to announce that HE is the one who caught the BIGGEST one! Mommy's little fisherman. We were a little worried about the "cleaning" task, after they returned. Aidan, like me, is an extreme "softie" where animals are concerned. But once it was explained to him, he was totally fine with it. He even declared that he wanted to eat the "colorful one" that night. And eat it, he did!
I soooooo wish I could have tagged along (I don't fish. I did a few times as a kid but haven't since then.) to experience the excitement of Aidan's first fishing trip! Dale didn't take many pictures (definitely not as many as I would have, had I been able to go- yall know me!) but here are the ones that he did take. I snapped a few after they returned, when they called me to come out and meet them on the pier. Aidan couldn't wait to show me his catch!

text: This week let's talk about TRUE FISHERMEN and just what constitutes a true fisherman. I guess there are many ways to describe a fisherman. It could be someone who fishes every day, or once a week, once a month, or maybe even once a year. Is it someone who likes to fish as a hobby but also plays golf,

Expat Insurance coverage According to Ones Stay Abroad
byAndrew Fred
In this high-tech environment education, job seek, career growth, travel plus more that you adore to list out do not ever got boundaries. The young blood in both of us always wish to explore, keep going, and never had to stick to one place in the lifetime regarded as a lucky people. And so it's always within our own hand to remain us safe wherever you are generally. To be well while you are away from your safe place is not as simple precisely as it sounds.
Expat insurance is profession can live your dream which includes a minimized trouble with your personal health. Falling sick as soon as you step into an alternative atmosphere is truly crime but not necessarily investing any contemplated an insurance inside your travel checklist can be a mistake. The global lifestyle that him and i lead demands a insurance coverage plan that may well serve the expatriates together with their families everywhere in the world.
Sometimes or maybe the vast majority of times the existing insurance coverage plan in new places get lucky and lend only reduced services. They are always that will accommodate limited options for an expatriate and for his friends and family. It is always wished for any one that can accommodate almost all their medical needs in spite of their region with origin or their own nature of occupation or duration with stay. A perfect international insurance coverage is one that can support an expatriate or maybe a migrant equally well the identical way that they do with the resident.
It's a standard question that usually arises as soon as you hear an expat insurance coverage, how does it change from an international holiday policy. Actually, the later some may be only for this quick duration, with reduced validity, and using listed eligibility. The cost that you have to pay per month on an expat insurance can be a monthly cost but it surely helps to save you enough money on ones hospital bills. Constantly, the cost of expatriate insurance depends on may be factors like grow old, family member rely, medical history, nation of coverage, earnings etc. its quiet crucial for you to consider few things before you decide to get one for you and your friends and family.
Things you need to consider in an international insurance on an expat!!!
When you check in the available online expat cover it's all virtually of globally lightweight. And it's equally crucial for you to note that the vast majority of international insurances provide coverage one when they are oh no- their homeland. Almost no policies cover treatments within a person's home country often to get a limited time. Yet one more important and often overlooked aspect in an expat insurance is a underwriting criteria offered by the insurance company. Policies are constantly underwritten in 1 of 2 ways: moratorium; together with full medical underwriting.
With moratorium underwriting, there is absolutely no obligation for that applicant or the expat showing his/her medical historical past and so most of the pre-existing conditions may very well be covered; although, there are actually restrictions on that coverage of pre-existing circumstances. New or unanticipated conditions occurring following your start date covered consistent with policy conditions. Full medical underwriting requires the assortment of a full health background and usually excludes insurance coverage for pre-existing circumstances.
An expat insurance policy coverage is regarded as being a total resolution for your healthcare. The routine offers a 24-hour support which has no hospital restriction and for any illness ranging with a normal sickness, maternity to that complicated conditions make fish an expat and his/her family may possibly face during their stay internationally. There are many health company who leads that services that suit your existing circumstances and spending plan.

Dear Oscar and Bella,
Today you turned 4. Do the celebrate birthdays in heaven? We sure do celebrate them down here, though not in the way most people would celebrate birthdays. Today your mommy and me took the day off, as we do every year in order to do things to remember you. That was my promise to you some time after you were born, every July 30th would be your day, and I will not break that promise.
Today we shopped for you. Bella I picked out a breakfast, and a snack I thought you would like. Oscar I picked out a lunch and a dinner I thought you would like. It is nice to put myself into what I think you would be thinking about and get you things I think you would like. I hope I got it right and I really did get you things you would enjoy. I wish I had you here with me so that I didn't have to hope and guess. I wish I got the chance to know you.
After we shopped for you your mommy and I donated all of the food we got for you to a food bank. I know at 4 years old it is hard to give away things that you like and things that you want- but it is important to help others. I hope you get to watch the people who got your food enjoy it. I know I would like to see people enjoying the food I got for you.
Mommy and daddy then went to a movie. We picked a movie we think you would enjoy watching. It was Monsters University. Oscar I think you would have enjoyed it more than Bella did. I cried during the movie.
I didn't cry very often before you two were born. Please don't take that as a sign of you having done something wrong. Today during the movie I cried because I remembered something about you Oscar that I had not thought about in a long time. I am so proud of the way you tried to save your sister.
I don't know why you both had to go to heaven and not grow up with mommy and daddy. I don't understand how it happened, or why it happened. I know you both deserved to grow up with your parents, and your parents deserved to get to watch you grow up. I wish I could tell you that after 4 years I was better able to accept what happened but I just can't. I want you here with me. I miss you every day. I love you.

History of Marine Plywood Surf Fins
In 1934, Surf pioneer, waterman & innovator Tom Blake was inspired by a boat's keel and proceded to put the first "fin" onto one of his surfboards in order to help control the board's motion. From that day forward the evolution of the "surf fin" began.
The Wooden "Duel Fin"
Bob Simmons elevated the surfboard fin's design, first working on single fins, and then experimenting with "duel fin" surfboards. These "Simmons" shapes had two fins made of wood which resembled "half moons."
Early 1970's
"Modern Keel Fins" Emerge
"Modern Keels" emerged as an result of Steve Lis' experimentation. As an avid kneeboarder, Lis came up with his progressive "fish" templates and united his boards with twin keels resembling those of Simmons' designs, but was more specifically influenced by Bear Mirandon. These new keels were outfitted with updated shapes and foils.
Late 1970's
Speed and Fluidity
The new "keel" fins and fish shapes inspired an array of professional surfers such as Jeff Ching, David Nuuhiwa, and Reno Aberilla.This new trend also influenced renowned shapers such as Skip Frye and Terry Martin who advanced the movement and created boards known for their speed and fluidity.
Retro Resurgence
Retro shapes reinvigorate the surfing scene and guys such as Dave Rastovich, Tyler Warren, and Ryan Burch dislpay the ability of twin keel designs.
Marine Plywood Fins Now
True Ames is providing the surfing world and especially craftsmen with top notch – perfectly foiled marine plywood fins which have proven to transcend time and provide surfers with that iconic and effortless feel. Our fins have positive buoyancy as well as that classic aesthetically pleasing look, which is sure to meet your standards.

SMALLER SIZES ( 6" – 7.5" ) Perfect for a 2+1 center fin.
LARGER SIZES ( 9" – 10") A favorite for both solid carving turns to elegant full control tip rides.
Latest Video Clip of Volan Fin Production
New Volan Fins
New Volan Fins!! Greenough 4-A and L-Flex
These Volan fins are fine tuned with a precision foil as well as proper flex. All fins are hand made in our factory and go through the strictest quality control. Fins made with Volan fiberglass and properly aligned for optimal weave orientation, have very high performance flex characteristics. The flex comes more in the body of the fin rather than just at the tip.
SURF FINS: Lot's of 'em
For more than three decades Chuck Ames and the True Ames Fins team have been at the forefront of the fiberglass fin industry. Balancing a surfer-driven design ethic with an unyielding commitment to innovation and production excellence, we have forged an international reputation in the surfing and windsurfing communities as the guys who, simply put, make your waveriding vehicle of choice work even better. After all, as Chuck likes to say, "You could have the best board in the world shaped for you but, if the fins are off, it won't go- the thing just won't work the way it should." Day in and day out, it is our goal at True Ames to make sure such fin failures never happen to you.

This is a classic film clip from "All I've Found" Highlighting George Greenough's Knee boarding on single fin spoons.The waves in this clip are pristine. Very cool footage! Check out our selection of Greenough Fins at trueames.com Our most popular Greenough fin is the 4-A: The full base coupled with the tapering, moderately flexible tip creates a balance that transcends and complements so many aspects of surfing. Of course a unique understanding of his aquatic fish friends is the foundation here. Install the 4-A on any performance surf vehicle and you will find instant bliss. Currently available with matte finish. SMALLER SIZES ( 7" – 9" ) Use the smaller sizes for a single fin or 2+1.

15 Year Old Elected as a Tory Youth Chairman.
WORCESTERSHIRE Conservative Future (CF) have sensationally elected 15 year old Robert Porter deputy area chairman and political chairman, the youngest person in the UK to hold such positions, TBG can reveal.
Rising star Robert says he wants CF to help people in his local community with "a variety of initiatives" including offering support to food banks and soup kitchens.
Fresh faced Robert said - "I am incredibly excited that I have been given the opportunity to help a cause about which I feel strongly, especially given that, at present, I am the youngest in the country to hold such a position."
"I will be offering the services of Conservative Future to locally run soup kitchens and food banks. I strongly believe that I am incredibly fortunate to have been given one of the best starts in life and now I would like to give something back to help the most needy in our society."

How to Know If You Need to Overhaul Your Carburetor
A carburetor is a mechanical device that blends fuel and air in an internal combustion engine. Although modern vehicles largely don't use carburetors anymore, relying instead on fuel injection engines, there are still quite a few older vehicles on the road that have them. Carburetor issues can cost several hundred dollars to fix and affect… Read More »

After more than a decade working in various roles at Microsoft and a few years with a startup, Avi Cavale had an epiphany: Developers spent way too much time integrating and deploying software as opposed to writing code.
So Cavale teamed up with co-founder and former Microsoft colleague Manisha Sahasrabudhe to start Shippable. The eight-person company helps developers build and test repositories quickly and efficiently.
We caught up with Cavale, the 2013 GeekWire Ping Pong Champion, for the latest edition of Startup Spotlight.
Explain what you do so our parents can understand it: Shippable helps software companies launch products faster by reducing friction in their development process.
Inspiration hit us when: We were developers ourselves and found ourselves spending too much time integrating and deploying instead of coding.
VC, Angel or Bootstrap: Bootstrapped when we started since we needed to prove our credibility. Angel-funded now and exploring institutional options.
Our 'secret sauce' is: Our ability to bring in our enterprise know-how and mix it up with open source agility to create a killer product.
The smartest move we've made so far: Joining TechStars after realizing that TechStars was a better fit than YCombinator.
The biggest mistake we've made so far: Thinking we could take a shortcut by hosting an open source, on-premise product Jenkins, and make money. It's just not a good idea — it doesn't scale, has security holes, and the cost structure will kill you. We had to dump our entire codebase and start again from scratch in May 2013.
Would you rather have Gates, Jobs, Zuckerberg or Bezos in your corner: Zuckerberg. We are about revolutionizing the development process, Zuckerberg has revolutionized social media and is also still a developer, so he is a great fit and would bring a lot of the right experience to the table.
Our world domination strategy starts when: We start running 100,000 builds a day. Currently, we're at a 1,000 builds a day and we are still two weeks from demo day.
Rivals should fear us because: Our product is faster and superior to anything out there.
We are truly unique because: We really understand the developer mindset and challenges since we've been there. Experience and empathy really matters in this space.
The biggest hurdle we've overcome is: Building a team with the same DNA as the founders.
What's the one piece of advice you'd give to other entrepreneurs just starting out: Launch early, launch often, fail fast.
Editor's note: This month, GeekWire will be featuring the 11 startups participating in TechStars Seattle. This marks the fifth of those profiles. Make sure to check out TechStars Demo Day on Oct. 24th, and GeekWire Startup Day on Oct. 25th, both part of Seattle Startup Week. You will also get a chance to meet the Shippable team at the Demo Day after party, a fantastic opportunity to hang out with hundreds of Seattle entrepreneurs, investors and members of the Seattle startup ecosystem.
Editor's note No. 2: Shippable will be in the Startup Demo Zone at the Oct. 25 GeekWire Startup Day. Spots are still available in the Demo Zone, a presentation area where a select group of startup companies will get the chance to demo their products and talk to investors about why their idea could change the world.

CustomerTLC Health Network
IndustryHealth Care
"One of my first initiatives as the new Director of Facilities was to implement a computerized maintenance system. My staff and I found Q Ware to be an easy to understand and user-friendly system that is affordable. It helps us do our jobs better."
Company Profile
Established in 2002 through the merger of Lake Shore Health Care Center in Irving, NY and Tri-County Memorial Hospital in Gowanda, NY, TLC Health offers an array of health services, including hospital, emergency, primary care, long term, home health, dental, mental health and chemical dependency services. Tri-County Memorial Hospital and Lake Shore Health Care Center, members of TLC Health Network, are committed to quality service, driven by a dedication to caring.
TLC Health manages two hospital facilities and several clinics. Including movable and clinical equipment, they service approximately 3,000 pieces of equipment and generate approximately 600 work orders per month.
Before implementing a computerized facilities maintenance system, TLC Health Network was dealing with the difficulties of multiple work orders for the same job and tracking the completion of work orders, as well as a general lack of organization of their entire work order process. They came to the decision that a computerized work order management system would help their plant operations and clinical engineering department strategically assign work orders and monitor the overall equipment repair process.
TLC's main objective is to be responsive to their internal and external customers' equipment repair needs, cost effective, and organized in maintaining their facility and the organization's assets.
Q Ware has allowed TLC to eliminate paper work orders, streamline their work order process from origination to completion, and reduce duplication of work orders in a cost effective and professional package. Q Ware has also allowed TLC Health to target daily work to the appropriate staff. It also provides the ability to manage a real-time view of the status and progress of work completion. Additionally, TLC Health is now afforded an efficient method, through e-mail, to update the work order requester until the completion of the work.
Immediately, they saw a return on their investment through a reduction of duplication efforts, improvement to customer service, and better management oversight.

© Photographer Jérold Partouche
My name is Ieva Purina, I'm a retoucher from Riga, Latvia. I work at a photo studio where I spend most of my days editing photos or doing some graphic design/layout work. I also work as a food (and any other object) stylist for photo shoots.
I'm inspired by nature, fashion and photography.
Last movie...hmm. Mad Max probably. I don't really watch that many movies, lately I'm more into watching series.
Recently I have spent a lot of time reading and doing research on Barcelona, Spain, as I am going on vacation soon. I like knowing a little about the places I plan to visit and adventures I plan to take part in.
My role model in the professional scene would be my former boss. He's a photographer and I have worked beside him for almost 10 years. I admire the amount of attention and energy he gives to every shot. He goes out of his way to set the perfect conditions and then is ready to rearrange and look for more, different/better ways to light the subject. He doesn't just settle for OK. Even when the day has been long. I deliver my best possible work every time, I don't settle for just OK, either.
A freelancer never knows when his next adventure will strike.
It has great layout possibilities and is very easy to use. The support is good.
My name is Aaron Pedersen, I am an editorial & commercial photographer in Edmonton (western Canada). I like to take a more personal approach with my subjects, by that I mean I'd rather not get to complicated in setup and focus on what the person in front of the lens is doing an how to get the best out of them.
I'm a big of a nerd when it comes to photo history and theory, so I love reading and hearing the stories behind photographs. I just read an article about Carl Fischer's late 60's Esquire covers and got me buzzing.
The last film I watched was Made Of Stone, the Shane Meadows documentary about The Stone Roses
I'll be honest, I read mostly magazines but I have a long standing bookmark in Todd Babiak's "Come, Barbarians"
I have no particular role models but I've always been pretty influenced by the work of Rankin and David Bailey
There's a couple music videos in the works and about to start a promo for a modeling agency I work closely with.
What I love about Portfoliobox is that I can manage my site and put the work up that I want people to see with ease. The changes are instant so I can preview as I'm working on it. Plus the overall design is great, I get compliments on it all the time.

Search engines evaluate your website from a technical point of view. In order to make your website appealing to search engines, there are few things you need to think about. Below are some tips about titles, meta-descriptions & meta-tags.
Site title and Page titles are displayed in the browser tab and search results. Titles are one of the most important aspects of Search Engine Optimization (SEO). A title is a word or a short phrase that describes the website or the page. They appear in a search result as follows: Page title - Site title. Here are a few things you need to think about, when choosing page titles:
— Unnamed page: If you do not choose a title for your page, the title "untitled" will be allocated by default. Note that the title of your page will also be by default the url of the page. Choose a title in order to avoid untitled pages!
— Duplicate titles: You should never have two pages with the same title. Search engines (Google, Yahoo, etc.) consider this as bad practice since it is confusing for the visitor.
— Length: In search result, the page titles will be cut after 65-75 characters depending on the search engine. Make sure that the title is shorter than 65-75 characters or make sure the most important words are in the beginning of the title.
You can change your site title under Settings → General → Website → Title.
You can change a page title under Edit this page → Edit content.
The site and page descriptions, also called Meta description, will appear in the search results under the page url. "Meta descriptions can be any length, but search engines generally will cut snippets longer than 160 characters, so it's wise to stay in these limits." explains Rand Fishkin in this Beginners Guide to SEO. The description has no effect on the page ranking but can draw attention to your site in the search results. Make sure to write a clear, readable & compelling description to encourage the visitor to click on your site.
You can edit the site description under Settings → General → Website → Site meta description.
You can edit the page description in the Edit this page → Settings → Meta description.
The site Keywords will not have any effect on SEO. You can read more about it here. However, you can add keywords if you want Portfoliobox to categorize your site.
Edit the Keywords under Settings → General → Website → Site keywords.
An Alt text, or Alternative text, is a text associated with an image that describes what the image depicts. Search engines cannot read images and therefore look for the Alt text of each images.
In Portfoliobox, the Alt text of your image is the image title. The image title can be edited in each gallery. You can choose to display or hide the image title on your site under Display Settings — depending on the template you use, the image title will display under the image or on hover. In both case, the image title will be the Alt text.
NB! Keeping the image title field empty migth cause your images to not be indexed in search engines.

Last year, This Is Money posted a Q&A featuring Viagogo. Have a look at what they said and what the actual truth is.
Q: Who are your sellers?
A: The overwhelming majority of sellers on Viagogo are ordinary sports and music fans who are trying to sell on tickets that they can no longer use.
Truth: The overwhelming majority of buyers on Viagogo are ordinary sports and music fans who are trying to buy tickets from other fans that can no longer go to the event.
Q. What percentage of sellers are fans reselling tickets because they cannot attend an event?
95% of people who sold on Viagogo in the past year, sold fewer than 10 tickets. The overwhelming majority of users on Viagogo are genuine sports and music fans selling less than 10 tickets a year. On the site, the average mark up across the majority of tickets listed on the site is around 10% -to 15%.
Around 50% of tickets sold on Viagogo sold at or below the ticket face value. Examples of great deals on the site at the moment include; McFly – you can go and see the boy band from just £15, half the face value price Peter Kay – you can see Peter Kay at the O2 from as little as £24 – face value is between £35 and £42
Truth: This 95% does not reflect the high number of tickets being sold by a small number of sellers. The remaining 5% of sellers are responsible for a disproportionately high number of tickets sold on the site.
Q. Why when there is a big ticket event do reselling tickets appear on your site within an hour of the event going onsale?
If you take festivals for example, a number of big festivals release tickets for the following year almost immediately after the festival has finished. In addition, 'early bird tickets' are also released up to 8 months before the festival takes place. During this time, people's plans change such as booking a holiday, a wedding commitment and Viagogo provides a platform for consumers to resell tickets they can no longer use. What we have found is that the number of tickets listed on the site increases as the event draws closer.
Truth: Viagogo staff used company credit cards to buy a large number of tickets from primary sellers, and then resold them on Viagogo. Viagogo staff also worked directly with external 'brokers' who post tickets for sale on Viagogo. This was done through the sales team who maintain a constant contact with these external sellers to maximise profits.
Q. What commission do you make from reselling tickets? / Q. How much do you charge the seller? / How much do you charge the buyer?
Viagogo charges 15% to the buyer and 10% to the seller. This is standard across all events. In addition to our buyer fee we also charge for delivery. The cost of delivery varies depending on the location of the buyer and the seller. For example we charge more for international shipments.
These fees cover the cost for managing the guaranteed delivery of tickets from the seller to the buyer and will cover the cost of maintaining the website, providing customer service to both the buyer and seller, overseeing the delivery of tickets from the seller to the buyer and managing the payment processes on both sides.
Truth: Viagogo charges both ticket sellers and buyers fees. Its ticket buying fees are not listed on the site until customers go to purchase tickets. Example fees for a pair of George Michael tickets on sale at £149.99 each for the Albert Hall in October are a booking fee of £45, shipping of £11.95, plus VAT of £11.39, delivering total fees and VAT of £68.34. Seller fees are listed as 10% plus VAT on that, this would deliver a selling service fee and VAT of £36. Face value for similar George Michael tickets for this date and seats was £50.75 to £72.75.

Etosha Pan
The Etosha pan is a large endorheic salt pan, forming part of the Namib Desert in the north of Namibia. The 120-kilometre-long (75-mile-long) dry lakebed and its surroundings are protected as Etosha National Park, one of Namibia's largest wildlife parks. The pan is mostly dry but after a heavy rain it will acquire a thin layer of water, which is heavily salted by the mineral deposits on the surface of the pan, which most of the year is dry mud coated with salt.
The area exhibits a characteristic white and greenish surface, which spreads over hundreds of kilometers. The pan developed through tectonic plate activity over 10 million years. About 16,000 years ago, when ice sheets were melting across the Northern Hemisphere land masses, a wet climate phase in southern Africa filled Etosha Lake. Today the Etosha Pan is mostly dry clay mud split into hexagonal shapes as it dries and cracks and seldom seen with even a thin sheet of water covering it. It is assumed that today's Kunene River fed the lake at that time but over time plate movements caused a change in river direction causing the lake to run dry and leave a salt pan. Now the Ekuma River is the sole source of water. Typically, little river water or sediment reaches the dry lake because water seeps into the riverbed along its 250-kilometre (55-mile) course, reducing discharge along the way.
The surrounding area is dense mopane woodland which is occupied by herds of elephants on the south side of the lake. Mopane trees are common throughout south-central Africa, and host the mopane worm, which is the larval form of the moth and an important source of protein for rural communities. The area was first explored by the Europeans Charles John Andersson and Francis Galton in 1851. The American commercial traveler McKeirnan visited the area in 1876.
This harsh dry land with little vegetation and salty water if any at all supports little wildlife all year round but is used by a large number of migratory birds. The hypersaline pan supports brine shrimp and a number of extremophile micro-organisms tolerant of the high saline conditions. In particularly rainy years the Etosha pan becomes a lake approximately 10 cm in depth and becomes a breeding ground for flamingos, which arrive in their thousands, and Great White Pelican. The surrounding savanna is home to a number of mammals that will visit the pan and surrounding waterholes when there is water, these include quite large numbers of zebra, Blue Wildebeest, and as well as white rhinoceros, elephants, hunting dogs, lions, leopards, and antelopes.

Ok, last installment of So you want to be an admin... (for now). This one is straight from a young teacher (I hired by the way) who has aspirations of being a school leader. Let me correct that, he is already a school leader but he wants a position that pays him for it...eventually. This is a must-read for the aspiring leader and even those who have done it for awhile, like me. Check it out and give Mr. Epley some leadership love.
So you want to be an admin?
Why pursue a career in administration?
This is Caroline, my five-month-old daughter.
When I think about education, as a teacher or an administrator, I wonder what Caroline's educational journey will look like. It's this curiosity that motivates me because I want to a part of the answer. I will lead in education from my teaching position as long as I'm allowed to do so. However, I decided to take the necessary steps to open doors to the world of administration. I did this to give myself the chance of leading education into the future from a related, but different, chair. To fully understand my "why", it is important to understand my journey to the field of education.
Education is about serving and building relationships. I chose to enter the field of education because of my love for history, but more importantly, my desire to positively influence the lives of our youth. Early in my life, in 8th-grade US History, I decided I wanted to be a teacher. Throughout high school I joggled ideas of physical therapy and other fields that would have made great careers. Yet, I always ended up back where I started - teaching. I was later hired as a young graduate of the University of Tennessee to teach 8th grade US History at my old school and in the very classroom that jump-started my desire to teach.
I believe mentors are essential to professionals who desire to grow and lead within their field. My 8th grade history teacher, Coach Jones, was one of the earliest mentors I remember. Much later, I was lucky enough to be hired by Dr. Mick Shuran and mentored by him during my first few years as a teacher. The many conversations with him stimulated my interest in school leadership. Those conversations revolved around "everything education" and what we can do better as educators in the 21st century.
I quickly realized I had the ability to build strong relationships with students, which allowed some of the obstacles they faced to become obvious. Some of these students came from extremely difficult situations at home. Their home lives were so different than mine as a child. I grew up in Tullahoma but was naive to the conditions many of our children dealt with at home. Teachers have a unique ability to see potential in all their students. I was no different and saw massive potential in all my students.
As educators, we allow our youth to have meaningful experiences, some of which may end up being their lifelong passion. The 21st century offers educational tools and access to knowledge in greater capacities than at any other point in human history. These tools give students access to information (OER) and chances to see places (AR/VR) they may never have been able to in a previous decade. It's these chances and opportunities that provide all students with new opportunities and may very well save some of our young children by helping them find their passion. I hope to lead education into the future and provide support to teachers so ALL of our students have the chance to find their passion and their own "why."
Through much thought and prayer, I decided I wanted to further my education and begin preparing for a possible career in school leadership. For the record, I do believe teachers are school leaders, actually the most important ones (and it's not close)! I chose to pursue (August 2016) my Ed.D at Carson - Newman University with a concentration in administration with licensure and plan to defend my dissertation in March 2019.
My "Whys"
Disclaimer: My "whys" apply to all the "hats" I wear or may wear over the course of my career in education.
● I chose this path because I understand the tools we have today may very well save kids with difficult home situations by opening doors and providing opportunities. Serving teachers and students while providing the necessary support, training, and resources to take advantage of these amazing tools (AR/VR, OER, Coding, etc.) is something I'm passionate about.
● I chose this path because I believe the digital divide is closing (even if slowly) and access to knowledge will break down barriers for students that may have never been given a chance to succeed in the previous 20th century "industrial style" classroom. I believe this happens by exposing students to more information, in relevant delivery methods, which increases their chances of finding their own "why."
● I chose this path because education needs strong leaders willing to disrupt education norms and help navigate classrooms into the future.
● Lastly, I chose this path to enhance my ability as an educator. The lessons learned and thinking skills gained from my degree will serve me well as a teacher and any other position I hold throughout my career.
My "whys" are built on the same foundation that led me to this field: a desire to serve and my passion for people and building relationships. Serving is the foundation of my career and it is my hope that it is what my career will end on, as a teacher or administrator, and maybe most importantly an educator.
How do you begin to prepare and pursue a career in administration?
Ask me this question in 30 years (I'm 27), and I will probably tell you certain things I could have done better to prepare for a career in education in general, as well as administration. I don't pretend to know what an administrator's daily life is like. Just like I didn't know what a teacher's life was like prior to entering the classroom. I would not have ever thought to use the video linked below to explain to the "real world", as they like to call it, what teaching is like, but that's exactly what I do.
Once I determined I wanted to begin preparing to ready myself for a potential shift to school leadership and understood my goals, I had to unravel the seemingly infinite amount of layers revolving around university programs, licensure, cost, and value. I wanted to make sure I could become a licensed administrator in the state of Tennessee and that my degree held value. Value is obviously hard to measure, so I went with a school I knew had a great reputation and was within my budget. There are many aspects to consider when contemplating a doctoral program, but some of the more notable ones are discussed below.
FAQ of Aspiring Administrators
What level degree do I need? What level degree do I want? Ed.D. or Ph.D.?
I received my master's degree in 2014 from UT - Knoxville. So, I decided I wanted to earn my Ed.D. Carson-Newman offers Masters, Ed.S, and Ed.D programs. Some schools offer an Ed.D and some offer Ph.D. Some may even offer both. Carson-Newman's doctorate program awards you with an Ed.D.
Which school should I attend? In-state or out-of-state?
Several reasons I decided to attend Carson-Newman University include their accreditation with the state of Tennessee's licensure program, they are in-state, and I really valued their Christian perspective. I wanted an in-state school, because I wanted to be a licensed administrator in the state of Tennessee. I'm sure there are ways to accomplish this with out-of-state schools, but I'm unsure of them.
Should I participate in an online program or hybrid?
Many universities are moving to online methods of delivery. UT-Chattanooga and UT-Knoxville offer a hybrid model. Students attend classes periodically but also find coursework online. This was a big decision for me. I felt the ability to network and learn from others would be valuable in a hybrid program. However, due to costs and proximity, I chose an online method of delivery. I have been impressed with Carson - Newman's ability to communicate and ensure students grow while participating in their program.
Is my school accredited with the state of Tennessee's licensure program?
Some doctoral students already hold an administrative license. I was not one of those. So, it was important for me to choose a school accredited with the states licensure program.
What do I have to do, in unison with my coursework, to become a licensed administrator?
At Carson - Newman, you can earn your Ed.D without gaining licensure. You have to be accepted into Carson - Newman's Leadership Licensure program to have the opportunity of becoming licensed. The licensure program is a completely separate program filled with tons of requirements that must be met. A few of the steps that must be met: Portfolio filled with information related to your career, interview, 175 practicum hours, completion of a practicum project, and a passing score on SLLA.
How will I pay for my school? Are there tax benefits I should know about?
You can take out student loans to pay for your school or can utilize Carson - Newman's partnership with Official Payments: Payplan. This program divides your annual tuition into 12 payments making it much more manageable.
There are tax credits!
The Tax Assistant is a great tool for you to use to understand your eligibility for certain benefits.
Widely Used Education Tax Credits
What does it take?
I believe having a mentor or someone who has "been there, done that" is important. That person can provide advice and confidence as you pursue your degree. Other characteristics that are important include:
● Organized
● Relentless
● Motivated
● Committed
All of these are extremely important because it's not easy paying for it, spending time away from family, and continuing it for three years minimum. I would also say it's important to find a friend to complete the program with. I didn't have this, but it would have been helpful.
My Professional Goals
During the first few years of my career, I developed three broad, but important, professional goals. They are meaningful and applicable to any position within the field of education and certainly as an administrator.
1. Do what is best for the students.
2. Positively influence the progression of education
3. Be a lifelong learner.
These goals apply to many areas of education and are how I hope to be able to summarize my career. Since these are somewhat long term, I have developed several other goals, or Maxims if you will (thanks, General Neyland), that help direct my daily professional life.
I hope to use my degree to positively and efficiently stimulate progress in education by meaningfully implementing new and relevant strategies that correlate with the current and future job markets of the world. I believe this happens by taking risks and being supportive of trying/implementing new instructional strategies. My long term goals still leave room for people to say, "Ok, so what does that mean? What does that look like?" Similarly, I don't want to reflect on my career and see someone who had lots of great ideas but never acted on them. My Maxims help establish my daily mission and are explained below.
1. Be a risk taker.
- I hope to use my degree to positively and efficiently influence educations progression by meaningfully implementing new and relevant learning strategies.
2. Promote trying new things without fear of failure.
- I believe this happens by taking risks and being supportive of trying/implementing new instructional strategies.
3. Move and lead!
- I am as guilty as anyone of coming up with grand ideas but leaving them at just that - an idea. Don't wait for the next lesson, the next unit, or the next year to try something new. Likewise, support others brave enough to implement new instructional strategies. Lead by assuming extra responsibilities and offering assistance to others even when it may be inconvenient.

Rich with eggplant, mushrooms and fresh tomatoes, spicy with Italian sausage, garlic and pepper, and fragrant with fresh herbs, this marinara sauce is ideal for pasta or Lasagna. There are two ways to make this marinara: with eggplant purée or sliced Italian eggplant. You could even use both for an extra helping of vegetables. I roasted the mushrooms to bring out their earthy flavor.
I took a tip from The Breakaway Cook Eric Gower, and added ground dried mushrooms for umami, (Japanese for savory deliciousness), which wonderfully expands and rounds out flavors.
Along with my homegrown herbs, I add a fresh bay leaf. I pick them when I get the chance to hike in the hills around Berkeley and Palo Alto. Their aroma brings me memories of my youth hiking and biking those hills. Just be careful about leaving them in too long – the fresh ones are very strong and can overpower the sauce, making it bitter. Just leave it in about 15 minutes.
3 links turkey Italian sausage or vegetarian sausage
1 Tb olive oil
1 onion, chopped fine
1 Tb salt (to taste)
½ tsp. red chili flakes
5 cloves garlic, crushed and minced
3 Tb minced fresh oregano OR 3 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp. minced fresh rosemary
1 tsp. minced fresh thyme or 1/2 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp. minced fresh tarragon or 1/2 tsp dried tarragon
several grinds black pepper
2 bell peppers and/or red bell peppers. (can substitute 3 cups frozen or 2 cups jarred roasted red peppers)
1 small (6 oz) can tomato paste
¼ cup red wine
2 lbs or 14 large soft Roma tomatoes (substitute 24 oz can of crushed tomatoes and 24 oz diced tomatoes
1 Tb sugar to taste
1 bay leaf
3 dried mushrooms
1 roasted globe eggplant and/or 4 Italian eggplants, cut in rounds and quartered
1 cup quartered mushrooms
1 14-oz can artichoke hearts, quartered
I bunch (1/4 cup minced) fresh basil
Italian eggplant method: Roast or barbecue eggplant and peppers. Discarding ends, slice eggplant into rounds, then quarter the rounds.
Globe Eggplant Method: Pierce globe eggplant with a fork, and roast in a heavy oiled baking pan in 400' oven for 1 hour until it collapses. Roast red peppers and mushrooms for the last ½ hour alongside the eggplant. You can roast the vegetables a day ahead of time.
You can also barbecue the eggplant peppers and mushrooms.
While eggplant is roasting and cooling, make the rest of the sauce.
Slice, quarter and brown sausages and drain the fat.
Sauté onion and salt in olive oil until it begins to soften, about 2 minutes Add sausage, chopped fresh or frozen bell peppers (if not roasting them), chili flakes, garlic, oregano, rosemary, thyme and black pepper. Sauté another couple of minutes until herbs release their fragrance.
Add tomato paste, then fill tomato paste can with water then stir in the tomato paste that has stuck to the can.
Halve Roma tomatoes and scoop out seeds and fibrous ribs.
Pulse tomatoes in food processor until desired consistency is reached. I did mine on the chunky side. (If you are using canned tomatoes, add them instead.) Stir into tomato paste and herb mixture. Add sugar to balance the acidity of the tomatoes.
If using chopped Italian eggplant, add it to sauce.
If using globe eggplant, scrape it out from the peel and mince it. Stir it into the sauce.
Quarter mushrooms and mix in sauce.
Grind the dried mushrooms until pulverized in a clean coffee grinder or spice grinder. Stir into sauce.
Add 1/4 cup wine and sip some on the side…
If using roasted bell peppers, stir them into the sauce.
Stir well and let simmer for an hour. You can make this in a crock pot and let it simmer for several hours.
Add quartered artichoke hearts and tarragon for last 10 minutes of cooking. Just before serving over pasta or making lasagna, stir in basil and cook a couple of minutes.

If you're looking for gifts that are both functional and beautiful, head straight to Glassery. Their inventory of durable tempered glass and porcelain bottles, jars, and containers would look great in any kitchen.
Glass shakers come in two sizes. They have an ingenious little dispensing mechanism that is much more elegant than the traditional speckled holes.
Colored spice jars on the left, perfect for distinguishing ingredients. Weck canning jars in two sizes on the right.
The Weck jars are perfect for storing Thanksgiving leftovers, canning, or for fashioning your own DIY food gifts, such as Cortido (El Salvadorian Sauerkraut). It's delicious.
The glass flask and tea strainer might be my favorite item though. I bought one for myself a week or so ago, and am now convinced that it will be a staple item in my gift-giving this year. It's well designed, practical, easy to use and clean, and won't break the bank at $15 apiece.

Obama entertained a question and answer session on Reddit on Wednesday. One of the questions that he was asked was, "What are you going to do to end the corrupting influence of money in politics during your second term?" Here was his answer:
Money has always been a factor in politics, but we are seeing something new in the no-holds barred flow of seven and eight figure checks, most undisclosed, into super-PACs; they fundamentally threaten to overwhelm the political process over the long run and drown out the voices of ordinary citizens. We need to start with passing the Disclose Act that is already written and been sponsored in Congress — to at least force disclosure of who is giving to who. We should also pass legislation prohibiting the bundling of campaign contributions from lobbyists. Over the longer term, I think we need to seriously consider mobilizing a constitutional amendment process to overturn Citizens United (assuming the Supreme Court doesn't revisit it). Even if the amendment process falls short, it can shine a spotlight of the super-PAC phenomenon and help apply pressure for change.
Obama references Citizens United v. FEC, a 2010 Supreme Court decision that struck down key parts of McCain-Feingold's "Campaign Finance Reform" legislation that should have been called "The Incumbent Protection Act." Campaign finance laws (written by incumbents) make it extremely difficult for someone successfully to run against an incumbent.
You always had to have money to run for political office, but money was not nearly as much of a factor earlier in our history as it is now. Not too long ago, we had mostly citizen representatives who would sometimes voluntarily go back to their lives and careers at home after their term was up. It was more of a civic responsibility. Turnaround was far greater then than it is today. Nowadays, politicians are celebrities. Since our government has continually voted to increase their own paychecks, give themselves benefits and pensions, people have been making careers out of being politicians.
Politics is now all about money and power. Our laws are written by lobbyists who work for big corporations and "special interest groups." These corporations want congressmen and senators to make laws that eliminate their competition and give them more power. How do these lobbyists convince representatives to sponsor such legislation? Money. Campaign contributions. Expensive political advertisements. Or whatever else they want. Big corporations, "special interest groups" and politicians all want the same thing: power. And these days, you get power with lots and lots of money. They don't care about the Constitution unless it happens to benefit them in some way relating to money or power.
Once you get in the "system" and earn its trust by playing its game, the "system" will fight to keep you there. Our current system depends on spineless yes-men. The last thing Obama wants is to "get money out of politics." On the contrary, he depends on it. He wants to eliminate his competition as much as possible to secure a second term. If you really want to get money out of politics, you have to elect statesmen with backbones who will not compromise their principles and be bought. Then, money won't matter.

If you buy or find free private label rights (PLR) information product, basically you will acquire the rights to use, edit or remove or add to the content of that PLR article, e-book, course, report etc in any way you please. You will also be able to re-brand this PLR article so that it appears that you were the original author. This is a very cheap way to get internet content. It is even cheaper than hiring a ghost writer to do the work for you.
PLR products are sold cheaply because they are sold to many people. That is great because it make sit much easier for you to be able to afford the content. However, you have to keep in mind the wholesale nature of PLR products if you are going to make the best use of them and so maximize the money that you make out of their use.
First - once you get some PLR products, it is a good idea to run it through Copyscape and DupeCop, both of which are free internet-based programs which you can easily access, in order to find which websites have content which matches the PLR products you have just bought or got for free. Then, you can start to adapt the PLR product so it fits your website more specifically and effectively becomes a unique product. This is a whole lot easier to do if you make sure you get a good quality PLR product in the first place. It's not always a great idea to go for cheap or free PLR products, for this very reason.
In adapting the content of PLR products you can adapt a variety of methods. You can cut up e-books into a series or articles; you can switch the target group to which the articles are aimed; you can add or delete content; you can collate a series of articles into an e-book, etc. The choice is yours and you can probably think of more ideas. If possible, try to add value by improving the product of the PLR product.
You should make sure that your PLR products are optimized for certain keywords so that search engines will bring traffic to them. You should also be careful to add links to the PLR products at pertinent points. These links should bring people directly to your website or maybe even a specific sales page from which you are selling another product. Just be careful to follow any article directory rules about the placing of links, if this is where you intend to use your PLR products.
You can of course, make further money from your PLR products by adducing in any affiliate links you may have for relevant products. PLR products are a great way to promote affiliate products.
Using the tips above should enable you to get good PLR products and use them well to get the maximum amount of profit from them.

Hello everybody!
Since releasing Let it be Me I have been overwhelmed with the outpouring love you all have for Ari and Canyon.
I knew once I saw the cover image that I had to have it. Approaching Mac Robinson about me aquiring the rights was the scariest thing I had done in my career as an author. He asked me if I had a story that would work with the image and I laughed. No, I didn't have any idea what I was going to do with it but I knew a story would be born and boy did it.
Arianna is probably my favorite heroine to date. She has endured more than anyone her age should and yet her strength inspires me.
Canyon, where do I even start when it comes to Canyon?
If you have yet to experience their journey I strongly recommend you take the leap.
Let it be Us is still coming along. You guys want perfection and I aim to give you nothing less than that.
I am also getting a mailing list together and can't stress enough how important it is for you to sign up. That will be the first place I announce when LIBU goes up for preorder and is live.
I currently am getting prepped and ready for RT in Houston October 10th. More signings are coming.
Keep watch of my author page on fb for a giveaway I will be sharing October 9th.
