All business owners are invited to join us for this intimate gathering centered around a roundtable discussion. We loosely moderate so each attendee gets to ask the group a question, and the group discusses each question for five minutes. When it's your turn, the whole group focuses on helping you. It's all about learning, sharing, and building genuine relationships in a casual, welcoming atmosphere.
Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferrable. Please read about the event's theme below to confirm that it is relevant to you before purchasing tickets.
This month's co-hosts
Cristina Hoyt
Each month we invite a different entrepreneur to co-host Wellstruck Lady Boss with us. This month's co-host is Cristina Hoyt of Nourish: Mindful Body + Mindful Life. Cristina picked this month's theme (below!).
Sarah Zero
I'm Sarah, the founder of Wellstruck. My big goal in creating Wellstruck Lady Boss is to build the face-to-face community of women entrepreneurs in the Mid-Atlantic. I'm actually based in Delaware, and I drive the 45 minutes to Philly each month for these events — they're my favorite two hours every month!
This Month's Theme
Stop the Glorification of Busy
We host a #WellstruckLadyBoss event every month, and each month has a different theme that serves as a catalyst for conversation. This month's theme is "Stop the Glorification of Busy." Cristina picked the theme because, as she says, "it feels natural for me to want to discuss the glorification of the hustle and lack of self-care in entrepreneurship." If this sounds like a conversation you want to be in on — join us!
Who It's For
All Business Owners
Business owners and freelancers! Please take note of this month's theme (above) to ensure it's relevant to you. No membership is required; we typically have half first-time attendees and half repeats, and we pride ourselves on making newcomers feel welcome.
Please note that hobbyists and reps for multi-level-marketing companies (e.g. doTERRA, LuLaRoe, Thirty-One) are not an ideal fit for this event.
What it's Like
An Informal Roundtable Discussion
We limit attendance to 12 and send you the full guest-list in advance so you have an idea of who's coming (which may help inspire your question!). We encourage guests to arrive 15 minutes early to purchase a drink, poke around, then make their way to our private room. When everyone is settled in, we kick things off with casual introductions. Then we dive into a loosely-moderated discussion. We kindly ask that all guests plan to stay for the full two-hours.
3:00p Introductions
3:30p Moderated Discussion
4:30p Wrap-Up & Mingling
The Venue
Vault + Vine
This event is in a private room on the second floor at Vault + Vine in East Falls — Philadelphia, PA. Limited free private lot parking and ample free street parking are available. Please note the meeting space is accessible by staircase only.
We'd like to extend a big thank you to Vault + Vine for generously providing us with a consistent space to meet, allowing us to keep #WellstruckLadyBoss affordable. They are true supporters of the small business community, and we encourage attendees share the love by shouting out to @VaultAndVine.Co on social when sharing the event.

It is not a pizza, but a relative, and a delicious one at that. At only three euros, you cannot go wrong. With lashings of vegetables and extra chicken, it was flavorsome and delicious.
For ambiance, like many places in the area, there was a tv on in the background with a Spanish soap opera on, which the owner watched as she prepared the food.

Microsoft adding more cooling to some Xbox 360s?posted by Eric C. in Cooling, Game Consoles |
According to DailyTech, French site Logic-Sunrise and MaxConsole, people have been receiving Xbox 360s back from repair and getting a new, beefier cooling system. So far only Europeans have reported this, so it's unknown if they're doing it in the US.

Amar'e Stoudemire has retired after one season with the Miami Heat and now some people are wondering if he belongs in the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. I'm not quite sure I can get there.
The guy was a dominant big man with the Phoenix Suns right out of high school and played 14 years in the NBA. He gets the celebrity boost, too, of playing with the New York Knicks late in his career. Overall, an average of 18.9 points and 7.8 rebounds per game over such a long period is worthy of respect.
If somebody wants to argue Amar'e for the Hall then, I won't fight too much. Already he's one of the best players ever to come out of Florida and that ought to be worth a few bonus points.
Who are the other all-time greats from our state? Here's my list, and undoubtedly some obvious name is being left off due to my stupidity alone. I'll trust you to chime in and fill in the blanks, or at least volunteer to switch my order around.
- Artis Gilmore – From the panhandle town of Chipley, he made five ABA all-star teams and six more in the NBA, and that was after pushing Jacksonville to the NCAA title game. A Naismith Hall of Famer.
- David Robinson – Born in Key West, I can't put him at No. 1 because he was part of a Navy family and actually spent his teenage years in Virginia. A 10-time NBA all-star and founder of the Spurs' dynasty. A Naismith Hall of Famer.
- Mitch Richmond – He's from Boyd Anderson High School in Lauderdale Lakes and sometimes gets overlooked but the Naismith voters put him in the Hall in 2014 so that's the ultimate confirmation. Averaged 21.5 points and 3.5 assists and had his jersey retired by Sacramento Kings.
- Amar'e Stoudemire – He's from Lake Wales but bounced all over Central Florida playing for various schools. Finished up at Cypress Creek High in Orlando. A physical force who didn't play organized basketball until the age of 14 and jumped right to NBA from high school.
- Vince Carter – Eight times an NBA all-star, he led Daytona Beach Mainland to a state title, took North Carolina to a couple of Final Fours and amazed at every level with his acrobatic skills. Was an NBA Slam-Dunk Contest winner.
- Tracy McGrady – Born in Bartow and went to high school in Auburndale for every year but his last, when he transferred to a school in North Carolina. Seven times an NBA all-star and twice the league scoring champion.
- Otis Birdsong – From Winter Haven High School, he made four NBA all-star teams and was among the nation's leading scorers at the University of Houston. Averaged 18 points per game as a pro and was drafted second overall in 1977 by the Kansas City Kings.
- Eddie Jones – From Ely High School in Pompano Beach, he played five-plus seasons for the Miami Heat and shot 38 percent for them from three-point range. Played 81 postseason games for five different teams, including the Lakers early in his career. A college star at Temple.
- Otis Thorpe – From Boynton Beach, he played at Lake Worth High School. Worked on raw offensive skills until the NBA's Kings made him a first-round draft pick out of Providence. An NBA all-star in 1992, he won one title with the Rockets and averaged 14 points and 8.2 rebounds in 18 seasons.
- Darryl Dawkins – 'Chocolate Thunder' was his nickname and shattering backboards with savage dunks was his trademark. Right out of high school in Orlando he pushed and shoved the NBA's big men and inspired some of them to lift more weights.
[Check out the top NFL head coaches who started younger than Adam Gase]
[As camps open, do you know where your former Dolphins coaches are?]
[Among first-time NFL head coaches, Gase faces the toughest schedule]
I'll throw in a few more names that could have made the top 10, recognizing that there's some Palm Beach County bias on my part.
Derek Harper (West Palm Beach), Vernon Maxwell (Gainesville), Howard Porter (Sarasota), Chandler Parsons (Winter Park) and Udonis Haslem (Miami).
Seems like there ought to be more, but we don't to dilute the criteria too much.
What do you think?

Windows Conference Series
The preservation and treatment of historic windows has been a focus of HPEF activities and initiatives since the organization was first established.
In 1986 HPEF co-sponsored the first national Window Conference and Exposition for Historic Buildings in Boston, Massachusetts, It was followed by a second conference a decade later in Washington, DC. They remain the largest events devoted specifically to the maintenance, repair, and preservation of historic windows.
HPEF has also co-sponsored two different historic window exhibits presented in Philadelphia, New York City, Washington, DC, and Albany, New York. These exhibits featured a variety of historic windows, shutters, screens, and hardware, both typical and exceptional, ranging from the handmade products of seventeenth century craftsmen to mass market units of the mid-twentieth century.
Additionally, HPEF organized three Historic Window Workshops. These two-day events provided an opportunity for small groups of preservation professionals to share and learn the latest practices for window conservation.
Specially-prepared handbooks have been developed for various window workshops and events. They include conference presentations, annotated bibliographies, and information on various federal preservation programs and standards. A table of contents and online ordering information for the Windows Rehabilitation Guide for Historic Buildings and the Window Handbook are available on the windows publication page.

Fifth Season Gardens was started in 2009 and serves an ongoing experiment in new plant groupings, space design, and sculptural elements. Constructed on the Freeman family farm, Chauncey's childhood home, largely within four acres of pastureland; Chauncey translated his intimate understanding of the land into a series of unfolding of landscape spaces. "The creation of the gardens is an extension of the ideal reality of living and learning in a garden setting, providing the creator with physical and spiritual nourishment." -Chauncey
After graduating with a degree in Landscape Architecture from the UofO in 2009, Fifth Season Gardens only seemed logical to demonstrate to clients how we can connect to landscape spaces. During that first summer the posts were set for the Entry Gate in a collaboration with Nick Wallace (UofO Architecture '09). Chauncey continued for years in the winter months when business slowed to develop Fifth Season Gardens into the garden wedding and event venue it is today.
With each passing season, and year, an element is added. Whether its garden features such as the Lotus Wishing Fountain, the Double Sided Fireplace, or the Full Moon Gate, Fifth Season Gardens is a special place. At the start of 2014 it will be the pleasure of the Freemans' to open Fifth Season Gardens for Oregon garden weddings and events, watching people enjoy the beauty of the genus loci both real and imaginary.
Having grown up working the land, Chauncey has instilled the values of dedication and hard work into Fifth Season. After founding in 2009, Fifth Season has been serving the greater Eugene area with local expertise and sourcing the finest plant material in Oregon.

Assemblywoman Paulin Introduces Safe Passing Bill in New York: NYBC Urges Representatives to Co-Sponsor Legislation
Last Tuesday, November 17, 2009, Assemblywoman Paulin announced the introduction of a bill that will require motorists to remain at least three feet away from cyclists on the road. This clearance will give motorists a margin of error when passing cyclists in case either the motorist or the cyclist is suddenly required to change course.
The need for this legislation was highlighted last week when Greenburgh resident and cyclist Merrill Cassell was crushed under the wheels of a Westchester Bee-Line bus. Merrill, a tireless advocate for making cycling a realistic transportation option, was traveling in the same direction as a Bee-Line bus on Route 119 in Tarrytown.
"We don't want people to fear for their lives while bike riding" said Assemblywoman Paulin, "It's common sense that we pass bills that encourage cycling, an act that encourages good health and helps the environment."
Enacting a three-foot rule will help increase public awareness that cyclists have a right to be on the road as well as educate motorists about safe practices with cyclists on the road.
"Making roads safer for cyclists is essential in our car-centric world," said David Wilson, president of the 1,400-member Westchester Cycle Club, and co-founder of the Westchester Putnam Bike Walk Alliance,
"The three-foot rule will create a safety buffer between cars and cyclists."
According to Jennifer Clunie, Executive Director of the New York Bicycling Coalition, at least 17 states have passed laws requiring motorists to give cyclists a three-foot buffer, including Connecticut.
"Cyclists may have the need–as well as the legal right–to move further into the travel lane due to hazards such as potholes and gravel, and to be more visible to drivers," said Clunie, "Enactment of a three foot minimum safe passing law is a step in the right direction toward reducing the high number of bicyclist and pedestrian injures and fatalities that occur each year. The bill will make our roadways safer for everyone."
NYBC encourages cyclists to contact their Assemblymembers and State Senators and urge them join Assemblywoman Paulin in sponsoring this important legislation.

Born in 1997 in California, Kylie Jenner has her origins in the famous Kardashian/Jenner family and became through the years a reality star and a social media icon in the pop culture.
Although Kylie Jenner grew up in the spotlight surrounded by her famous brothers and sisters in the reality series Keep Up with the Kardashians, Kylie was not always famous.
The Beginnings
The youngest child in the extended family of her parents, Kylie Kris was born on August 10, 1999 in Los Angeles to famous parents Kris Jenner and a former Olympic gold medal-winning decathlete Bruce Jenner, both television personalities as well, but going through a transition period, her father, Bruce, became Caitlyn Jenner later on.
Before being famous, Kylie had been a normal child attending Sierra Canyon School were she had been performing as a cheerleader, but in 2012 she has decided to give up the regular school and started the home schooling.
Kylie Jenner Career
Kylie's first on-screen appearance was even earlier in 2007 on her family's TV reality series "Keep Up with the Kardashians".
Kylie's first modeling job was in 2010 for a Sears clothing campaign titled "Crush Dream", this was just the beginning from a long list of successful life events. Together with her elder sister Kendall she hosted "Glee: The 3D Concert Movie", and later in 2014 the sisters launched a shoe and a handbag line for Steve Madden's "Girl Line".
In 2011 she earned a huge amount of money from the "Nicole", by OPI brand by signing two nail lacquers named "Rainbow in the S-kylie" and "Wear Something Spar-kylie".
Another successful year for both sisters was 2013, when they launched "The Kendall & Kylie Collection" with PacSun on February, and later that year in June the sister decided to follow their fashion line with "Metal Haven by Kendall & Kylie" jewelry collection.
Over the years Kylie was featured in a large number of music videos. For example, in 2013 in "Find That Girl", by The Boy Band Project, and others like "Recognize" and "Come and See Me", by Party Next Door, "Blue Ocean", by Jaden Smith, "Stimulated" and "Dope'd Up", by Tyga.
Kylie's acting debut was in 2014 in a promo for the "Much Music Video Awards" show which she hosted together with her sister, Kendall. Later that year they both decided to release the science fiction novel "Rebels: City of Indra".
Taking advantage of her family fame, Kylie entered the business industry and launched few businesses on her own, like her hair extension line "Kylie Hair Kouture", with Bellami Hair, in 2015, or Kylie Cosmetics in the same year from where she earned millions from the sale of her signature "Kylie Lip Kit". Also, in 2015 she became the second ambassador ever for the skin care line "Nip + Fab", and in 2016 she became the face of "PUMA" for the fall collection.
Kylie Jenner Love Life
The first time when she was caught by paparazzi of "usmagazine.com" was in 2011, when she was only 14 years old. Back then Kylie was dating the Australian pop singer Cozy Simpson, who was 7 months older than her…
After she had few appearances in his music videos, Kylie started dating the rapper Tyga in September 2014. Their on and off relationship lasted until 2017, when she began dating Travis Scott.

Archive for January, 2012
What do you think?January 25th, 2012 at 01:14 pm
I am constantly rethinking financial strategies hoping to be totally debt free (house and all) by 1/1/18 (6 years from now). Including the house mortgage and two car loans, we have a total of $237K in debt. We are already on our way to paying off our home by applying a total of $30K or more to the principal of the house. We owe 2.5 years on my husband truck loan and mine is only 6 months into a 5 year car loan. My plan is to pay extra on the car loan and pay it off also in 2.5 years (both car on the month and year). Then, I will apply the car and truck payment amounts to the mortgage to shorten the mortgage even more. What do you think?
pumpkin chocolate chip muffinsJanuary 21st, 2012 at 03:05 pm
It snowed for pretty much of the morning here. This is the first winter storm this year. I cleaned and cleaned, did laundry and made these fabulous pumpkin chocolate chip muffins. I tried my newly acquired hand mixer today with this recipe. I got it completely free using Amazon gift cards from Swagbucks. I paid close to $70 for it and I'm very please by its look and performance. I had a very inexpensive hand mixer that I kept burning the motor on it. I bake way too much so I thought this is a great addition to my kitchen gadgets.
Financially speaking we have two big bills due February 1st and that is property taxes on both homes. Those bills will put a damper on my mortgage pay down extravaganza. Nothing I can do about it; New Jersey property taxes are pretty crazy.
So here are pictures of my new gadget and my pumpkin chocolate chip muffins:
Principal updateJanuary 18th, 2012 at 02:38 pm
Hi guys! I just want to give you a little update on our progress so far on paying down our mortgage. Since December 27th, we've paid $4,570.79 extra to the principal. We're down to $206,630.64 from the original loan amount of $243,500. As of today, we are ahead of schedule 21 months. We're a little aggressive now because we may have to slow down quite a bit starting September. DS# 2 will be entering a technical program which is quite expensive and we are definitely covering the cost.
Fingers crossed!January 7th, 2012 at 06:48 am
I have a plan for this pay period but I'm keeping my fingers crossed because I'm not sure if I'll be able to do it (you know Murphy has a strange way to show up when you least expected).
$1,000.00 to automatic saving
$1,771.00 to March mortgage payment
$ 450.00 to vacation fund
$ 550.00 to extra mortgage principal
$ 395.00 to truck loan
$ 400.00 to car loan =
Pay checks= $3,900 + $666.00 ( we have about $900 surplus in the checking account) or maybe less depending how much my husband makes on his overtime check). This plan will have me spread very thin until the end of the month, but I'm going to try my hardest to do it without having to tap into savings. Next month property taxes are due and the downstairs tenant will not be able to pay rent until probably March when he starts working again. He is a good tenant and has been with us for about 11 years; we are willing to this for him. We have a nice stock pile in the freezer and canned goods so food purchase will be limited to dairy, fruits and veggies.
I will definitely let you know if we were able to do it. Meanwhile, may your weekend be frugal and pleasant!
PS. Last night my son won his Wrestling match 3-1 with an opponent outside of my son's weight class, which was advantageous for his opponent and it was Senior night! What a great night for him and a proud moment for us.

A Pampa welder died when his pickup ran off a rural road in Wheeler County and overturned Monday morning, the Department of Public Safety said.
Eli Samuel Stark, 39, was northbound in a Chevrolet pickup about 7:40 a.m. on Farm-to-Market Road 48 about five miles north of Mobeetie, when his pickup drifted off the pavement, DPS said.
Stark overcorrected, sending his pickup into a roll, DPS said. Stark, who was not wearing a seat belt, was ejected from the vehicle. A justice of the peace pronounced him dead at the scene.

5 Sure Fire Ways to Overcome Fear
Overcoming fear can be either a great motivator, or a fierce road block in our minds. Because we often establish our own limitations, these road blocks can actually be a good thing. They can alert us to be cautious, and they can cause us to analyze whether or not what we are doing is right for us.
Sometimes, however, a road block needs to be knocked down in order for us to grow. Overcoming a road block of fear gives you a learning experience that you can't get any other way. Deciding to take action and move forward is the first step towards freeing yourself of whatever it is that confines you. But what do you do if you feel you can't take action?
Sometimes we're just not able to attack fear head on. It seems too big, too unfamiliar, and we feel as though we don't have the support we need to overcome it. Overcoming a fear is a great liberator, as whatever is holding you back is a great weight on you. Below are 5 sure fire ways to overcome your fears and get what you want. Use them to empower yourself to make change, and you'll feel lighter, more energized, and more relaxed all at the same time.
1. Take small steps - Afraid of something big? Overcome that big monster by breaking it down into smaller, bite-sized pieces. We don't start out in life driving cars or running for President, but we can work up to those things. Afraid to ask your boss for a raise? Start by asking other people for small things you normally wouldn't ask for, then challenge yourself by raising the bar each day.
2. Realize you are not alone - Afraid of flying? I used to be afraid of flying, and plenty of other people are too. Go to the airport and watch how many people get on and off planes each day. Some of those people are afraid to fly but they overcome the fear and do it anyway. Some of them used to be afraid to fly. Maybe one or two of them just took their first flight and overcame their fear. They did it and you can too. Now, go buy your ticket.
3. Use a friend - Yes, the buddy system works. Find a friend that you can confide in about your fear and tell them you need their help. This needs to be a supportive person who will not judge you and does not have an interest in the outcome. With the help of a friend, I overcame my fear of roller coasters. What helped was that she really enjoys roller coasters and was excited about both riding the coasters, and helping me.
4. Learn - Many times we are afraid of the unknown more than anything. In these cases, getting familiar with the subject or situation can make them seem less intimidating. Are you afraid of home improvement projects? Take a class or read a book. Home Depot stores offer instruction on many different types of home projects, and they also sell books as well. Volunteer for Habitat for Humanity and learn first-hand how a house is built from the ground up. Whatever the subject, there's a way to overcome the fear of it and learn about it.
5. Visualize - When children play "make believe," they are actually confronting fears. They pretend they are in totally unfamiliar territory, doing unfamiliar things, yet they are in total control over what happens. Use this same technique to overcome your fears by using your own imagination to create the outcome you desire. As adults using self-improvement methods, we usually call this technique visualization.
A group of basketball players once practiced by pretending over and over to shoot the ball through the hoop. When they actually got back on the court, their shooting had improved! Imagine that you are overcoming your doubts and taking action in your most ideal state. Run the scenario over and over again in your mind until it is second nature. See yourself conquering your fear. Now go do it!
Combining Techniques to Improve Results
Combine these techniques for even more powerful results. For example, using a friend to help you take small steps will help you realize you're not alone. Learning about the subject or situation will help you to visualize and overcome your fear and reach your goal faster.
When you just can't seem to get up the courage to tackle your fear head on, use these five techniques to move ahead. Used alone or in combination, these methods will expand your horizons and move you to bigger and better things. Imagine if Benjamin Franklin or Thomas Edison let fear of failure prevent them from doing great things. Decide today to take action and notice the difference it makes.
How I Conquered Fear and You Can Too!
We've all heard it, felt it, sensed it, experienced it and dealt with it in some way or another, it's FEAR! You know … False Evidence Appearing Real!! The question is, how are you going to handle it and overcome it now and forever?
Getting out of your comfort zone for most is fearful and challenging, to say the least. It's been my experience that the missing element is psychological. Too many times I've said to myself, "I don't know HOW to do this" and self-sabotaged my brain into believing I could not do it. What I've come to know is this; it's not the "how" that is so important but rather the "why" behind it! Get a big enough WHY and the HOW will follow!
It's the old 80/20 rule … 80% is psychology and the remaining 20% is the mechanics. We all tend to get what we HAVE to have. It boils down to what YOU believe you must do and choose to not settle for anything less!! Turning your "should's" into "must's" and making the decision to move forward in spite of the fear.
Overcome Fear and Live the Life you Want
Feel the fear, overcome it and do it anyway! If you truly want to get the edge, you will need to get over your fear. Fear of failure, fear of embarrassment, fear of whatever … it's okay to make a mistake, just make sure you learn from it and live the life you want by avoiding the same pit falls next time around.
Overcome fear and choose to live life on your own terms. The quality of life is the quality of your emotions on a daily basis. Control your emotions and take control of your destiny! Consider this, it's not how long I live but rather, how I live! It's not about your ability; it's about why you must succeed!!
How to Help you Control your Fears and Emotions
Deal with your BODY and what you FOCUS on at any given moment.
1 – Body, the psychology that we are "in" is driven by the physiology that we are "in". Specifically, when we change our MOTION we change our EMOTION and therefore experience a change of "state". It's these "states" (or emotions), that will determine our action towards any given target including overcoming fear.
2 – Focus, what you focus on and moreover, "how" you focus, plays a vital role in your achievements (or lack thereof). We must remember, what's wrong is always available to us but so is, what's right! Understand that "problems" are a sign of life. Want to see someone who doesn't have any more problems? Drop by your nearest cemetery, they're done! No more problems … and no more life!! Direct your focus on overcoming fears, whatever you focus on you moves you towards that object or experience. There isn't a "try" … only do or not do!
Others Experience the Same Fears
I've noticed several things about myself that I can't help but believe others must share in similar experiences or situations. The difference for me now, is how I choose to "control" or "focus" myself as fear situations arise. This is a broad range of things from attending a party and "experiencing" my emotions, to simply taking a shower and getting ready for the day. It's truly how I overcome and manage my "state" during the situation that defines my experience!
To be more clear, it's what I choose to focus on while showering or while at the party. If while showering I'm having thoughts of … oh no, it's Monday again, I hate the first day of each work week! I hate Monday's!! I wish I could just stay home and sleep in. I have to fight the stinking traffic every day. I wish I had another car, a bigger fancier car.
On and on it goes and before you finish your morning shower … presto, you're in a bad mood and ready to bite your partners head off! You're having emotions of agitation and fear, experiencing anxiety about going to work, all before you even get dressed to go.
I suggest and submit to you it all begins with your thoughts. It's these thoughts that begin to affect our emotions (or states) and once we learn how to overcome and control them, we then have a much more powerful position to face our fears and that will determine our actions.
Control and Overcome Your Fears
Use MOTION to create EMOTION to control and overcome your fears. Back to the shower scene … sing, shout, clap your hands, pretend the soap bottle (or bar) is your microphone, move briskly, breathe deeply and think about good things. (Remember, you get to choose what you think about … it's your personal power)!
Wouldn't you rather get dressed feeling good about the day ahead of you, as opposed to dreading the very next moment? Sure you would, and you get to pick your experience. It may take some practice or "conditioning" on your part, but it will become a "habit" once you focus on training your brain and body to do so.
You can control your fear and use it as leverage to compel you towards your goals. It the courage behind the fear that builds the faith within us that makes us stronger. Esteem comes from forcing yourself to overcome and do difficult things. Therefore, causing us to broaden our comfort zones while strengthening our faith.
How to Overcome the Fear of Failure
Some people will have to deal with managing the failure of failure during their lifetime. They are so afraid of failing or not making it that they become very anxious. Here are some steps on how to overcome the fear of failure in your life. It is best to have at least have tried than not to try at all. Do you want to go through the rest of your life not knowing that you could have made it? At least if you try, you will know for sure if you would have made it.
Another benefit of giving something a try is that you can learn from your mistakes. If your first attempt doesn't work out, then at least you know what went wrong. If you decide to do that task again you will know what to do which will increase your chance of success.
If you are fearful of failure at a certain task, then develop some kind of back-up plan for you to rely on in case you do fail. For instance, let's say that you are afraid that you will not pass a certain class in school. Develop a plan B for yourself in case you do not pass the class. This will reduce your stress and take the pressure of taking the test and passing. If you don't make it, you have something to fall back on.
Ask yourself what is the worst that can happen. Think about it. What will you lose if you don't make it the first or second time? Yes, it might be a setback, but you had set backs before. Tell yourself that you will not succeed at everything in life and that will help overcome your anxieties. Fear of failure can be a struggle for some people, however the worst part is not to at least try. You don't want to go through life wondering whether you could have made it or not.

Paracorynanthe is closely related to Hymenodictyon; these genera share a woody, sometimes deciduous habit; interpetiolar, triangular, often deciduous stipules; cymose, bracteate inflorescences that are terminal and often also produced in the uppermost leaf axils; bisexual flowers with 5 calyx lobes, corolla lobes, and stamens; funnelform corollas with the lobes valvate in bud; rather small, ellipsoid, lenticellate, capsular fruits with loculicidal dehiscence; and one to numerous flattened, winged seeds per locule. Some species in both genera characteristically have a pair of petaloid, long-stipitate bracts borne at the base of the inflorescence. These are generally pale green to white or sometimes pink. Razafimandimbison & Bremer (2006) revised these genera, and found them together to comprise the tribe Hymenodictyeae which is closely related to Naucleeae.
Paracorynanthe differs from Hymenodictyon as well as the other Rubiaceae in Madagascar in its unusual corollas, which have each lobe ornamented at the tip by a prolonged appendage that comprises a pilose stipe 3-4 mm long that bears a black globose club. The inflorescences of Paracorynanthe are rounded or corymbiform in general shape, while in Hymenodictyon the inflorescences or at least the axes are often spiciform. The ovaries of Paracorynanthe have 1-2 ovules per locule, while those of Hymenodictyon have 2-40 ovules per locule. The bark of Paracorynanthe characteristically falls in large plates or plaques.

It seems Sonam Kapoor is one big mouth who obviously doesn't think twice before she speaks. Sonam Kapoor who is known for her big mouth has once again got herself into trouble by passing lewd comments on her senior actress Katrina Kaif. In an interview with a leading daily, the Kapoor girl called Katrina Kaif 'Shameless'. She admitted in the interview that she would like to gift Katrina Kaif a bouquet of flowers because she wishes she had the same kind of 'shamelessness' to be able to continuously keep on doing 'over the top' films as she does.
Being blunt is one thing and passing lewd comments is another. Growing in length doesn't mean you have gained enough wisdom. Sonam, You need to respect your seniors and think before you speak.

Online Money programs better than Google Adsense?
Most of the ads a "make money online" are not credible or no worthwhile. However, if it comes from a reputable company like Google, perhaps maybe we should consider. Services Google Adsense does not require you to click anywhere but the statistics see their ads on your site, how many visits to the money paid
to you only.
to you only.
Speaking of making money online, you may be silently winced as "crap, scam" ... But when the issue related to Google, then this is a really serious. If you are a webmaster and want to use its website to "Earn money" a little, Google Adsense is a tool that should interest you. Google's reputation alone is sufficient as a guarantee. Method of operation of the program is that Google will place ads of companies that they have been on your site, if site visitors and to see the ad, the advertiser will pay you through Google. To be specific, the once accepted to participate in this program, you will be given a piece of HTML code to insert anywhere in your website. Every time visitors click on Google Adsense banner ads, you will receive a sum of money.
What limitations that we encounter the first of the Google service is not acceptable the site content is not English. So if you use a site with content Other languages for registration will not be accepted. While waiting for this change, there is a way for Google to accept is to use Google's own blog.
To create a blog of Google, please visit http:// blogspot.com. To register blog is quick, it's best to have a Gmail account (register for free at http://gmail.com). After you have a Gmail account, you go http://blogspot.com and select Create Your Blog Now. Here you conduct filling operations as normal to enter information.
After you have completed yourself a blog, you use the address of his blog to sign up with Google. To register for this program by Google, please click Sign up for AdSense., Click click here to apply. A form appears for you to fill out personal information. What's remarkable is that you must fill out completely accurate personal information with Google to facilitate the transaction later. Google will absolutely keep your privacy.
As for the website URL, please enter your blog address you have registered at the blogspot (example: http:// example.blogspot.com), while in Section Website langunge you choose your site language is English . Account item type you select Individual (Bussiness for commercial website), and Section Country or territory you select .
All remaining items are the items of your personal information. You must ensure that information is correct to avoid obstacles to trade later on.
To be accepted, you must agree to the terms of Google Adsense to participate, you must tick all the boxes check-in Policies. Finally press the Submit Information button to finish.

To Google Adsense you accept the site you signed up with Google to the page content, meaning you have to work hard to post all your blogspot page (course content must be in English).
Tip: You can go to some English newspapers, extract the contents to bring up your blog (remember to include the origin seriously).
After Google Adsense accepted, you already have an account with username http://google.com/adsense is email you used to register and password you selected. After logging into the account, there are several items to note the following:
1. Repod: a report daily, weekly, monthly ... with the money you earn.
2. An Settings: is for you to set the banner ad to suit your site, the size of the banner, the color of the banner and get the HTML code to insert into your page.
3. Search Settings: This section to insert the search with Google and your site, you also receive money from the service.
4. Account Information: information about your account, including addresses, to pay taxes, account ...
5. Ads Pedormance means "achievement" and labor of the banner you put on the site.
6. Search Pedomance: like adsperformance.
7. Payment History: the information on Google Adsense was calculated every month.
Basically the world. If you create web pages then, and again qualify for Google Adsense accepted, you will quite easily get the HTML code to insert into your page.
It's pretty good this program is an HTML code of an account can be set up at various sites, which means you can just put code on siee content in English used to register with Google Adsense , but you can also place ads on sites with content of your own Vietnamese.
Through the participatory process, you can learn more about the program, but here are some notes that you should be careful to avoid locking the account a pity:
Never click on the banner of your own for any reason.
Never change the Adsense code in your account, Google allows you to change colors, borders, font color, style, size banner. You are only allowed to change it in your account, any impact to the code of the Google ads are violating the rules. Therefore you should not change it but the same as at first.
Only Google's banner on the page content. Because Google Adsense search system is excellent, but we all know, so do not fool it ... but do the actual page content.
Last but not least important is that you do not have try to fool Google Adsense with software that automatically clicks. Google Adsense is smart enough to know that it is being lied to and in which case your account will be permanently deleted and you never have the opportunity to join the program anymore.
The last thing you need to know that you will get the money like? That's when your account reaches $ 10, Google Adsense will send you a letter (letter was not the email) to the address you used to register, which contains a PIN (Personal Identification Number: certified personal identification number). When you participate in google adsense, before receiving the money, you need to load the PIN code received from Google. PIN code meant to protect people using Google Adsense, it ensures that your checks will be routed to the correct address you entered in your account.
After you enter a PIN before the 15th of the month and your account is over $ 100, then Google Adsense will send a check to you on the 25th of the month that you have the $ 100 in your account (ie you enter your PIN account on 13 / 4 and your account is $ 110, then on 25 / 4, Google Adsense will send you a check worth $ 110).

Nice blog
I just picked this blog up a few months ago. It's written by Katrina Huevel and she's an editor at The Nation. All I can say is, thank god for The Nation and the New York Review of Books or Bush and company would really be getting away with this shite.
A quote from Huevel's most recent blog post: "It is now painfully clear that the very Republicans whose job it is to protect us and our children from danger have failed repeatedly, because they're too busy protecting their own political power. The evidence is as overwhelming and repugnant as Mark Foley's emails."

Time and time again I have come upon the discussion of whether having a woman's zimun is a halachik obligation or even allowed at all. Herein we shall address some aspects of this topic and try to answer some of these questions.
Are Women Obligated In Birkat HaMazon In The First Place?
We know that after consuming enough food, Jews have the obligation to recite Birkat HaMazon after the meal (Devarim 8:10). The first question that has to be asked, then, is whether women have an obligation in Birkat Hamazon at all. Rabina asks Raba this exact question (Berachot 20B). They want to know if the recitation of Birkat Hamazon is DeOrayta for women, or just DeRabanan. Although from the Gemara it seems that it is indeed a Biblical imperative for women, many meforshim differ and believe that since women are not obligated in certain parts of Birkat Hamazon — like passages about Israel1 or Brit Milah2 — this disqualifies women from the obligation altogether.
Though the machloket as to whether women are obligated in Birkat HaMazon was never truly resolved in Jewish law, the issue is important as only a person who has the same or higher obligation as another person may fulfill an obligation on behalf of said other person3. Indeed, throughout history Birkat Hamazon was often recited by one person on behalf of everybody else, as people were illiterate and unable to recite it for themselves. While, l'halacha, women are not able to recite these berachot on behalf of other people (OC 186:1), this fact is not particularly relevant as people have long found it difficult to focus on someone else reciting Birkat HaMazon for them, so today it has become the norm for every participant at a meal to recite Birkat HaMazon to him or herself4.
Indeed, over time, halachik authorities have included women in the obligation of Birkat HaMazon. R' Moshe Isserles ruled that women should simply remove the passages that are irrelevant to them whenever reciting Birkat HaMazon. The Mishna Brura, however, says that this is not done in practice, and women should in fact recite the entire text of Birkat HaMazon (187:9).
The Source For A Women's Zimun
We can now turn to the issue of women's zimun. Of course, right before everyone begins benching, if there are three or more men present, a zimun is recited. What people aren't always aware of is that if there are three or more women, a zimun should also be recited. Often, people at the table think this concept is a "feminist pursuit" that has no halachik basis at all. Little do people know, though, that this practice is brought up as early as the times of the Gemara.
The earliest source is a Braita in Masechet Berachot:
Women may make a zimun amongst themselves, and slaves may make a zimun amongst themselves; but women, slaves, and minors may not include each other in a zimun. And though one hundred women are like two men, it is taught: Women make a zimun by themselves, and slaves make a zimun by themselves. There it is different because there are many people. If that is so, I will quote the conclusion: Women and slaves cannot make a zimun together — why not? There are not many people! There it is different because of licentiousness.
The Talmud actually states that women are not included in a regular zimun, but should form their own zimun. While everyone agrees that women are able to answer a zimun that is recited by men without concern for this issue(Sh"t HaRosh 4:16), the meforshim debate what active role a woman may take.
The Braita explains that two different groups of people have a zimun for themselves — women and slaves. They are not allowed to participate in a zimun with other men because of the "Pritzut B'Davar"; the action of forming a cohesive zimun of both men and women may lead to immorality. According to the Gemara, then, a joint zimun would be inappropriate. However, women may form their own zimun as it states in the Gemara "נשים מזמנות לעצמן". The words "נשים מזמנות לעצמן" are interpreted in one of two different ways:
- We are able to understand these words to mean that women who eat together separately from men are chayav in a zimun5, or…
- It's permissible, but not necessarily an obligation6.
The reason for the latter seems to be because of a historical reality that a majority of women were illiterate, so women creating a zimun was not done, and therefore became optional. In fact, R' Yechiel Michel Epstein said that he never even heard of the practice of women's zimun (Aruch HaShulchan OC 199:2). Regardless, it would seem from the Talmud that women's zimun is either obligatory, or at the very least permissible.
What About Today?
Although it may be the case that women's zimun was not practiced for an extended period of time, it still remains legitimate. Now that women are literate, it has most certainly become a viable option when there are three or more women eating alone. According to the Vilna Gaon, it is actually obligatory. Others claim that women may even separate from a larger meal in order to create their own zimun (Sha'ar HaTziyun 199:9), and R' Shlomo Zalman Auerbach goes so far as to say that two men who are eating with three women should respond to the females' berachot (Halichot Beitah 12:7).
Thus, the next time you find yourself with your friends or family and they want to have a women's zimun, don't laugh it off as being feminism that is the driving force behind their desire to perform this ritual — it's actually halacha.

White Privilege and Gentrification: El Paso and Denver
I was recently reading "White Privilege and Gentrification Denver" (The Guardian, July 14, 2016) and could not help compare what has happened in Denver to El Paso.
Caroline Tracy, the author talks of herself, a White person gentrifying Denver neighborhoods.
However, when I thought about it, I specifically I thought of young Hispanic professionals being "used as tools for landlords to gentrify neighborhoods." In Denver, Tracy says Whites, even progressive Whites are used as tools.
She talks about I-25 and I-70 cutting off neighborhoods, similar to I-10 and Highway 54 cutting off the Chamizal, Barrio del Diablo, and Lincoln neighborhoods.
Also mentioned is a beautification project done in north-east Denver. The city took out dumpsters and replaced them with cute trash bins like you see in better neighborhoods. Is this similar to what has occurred in Union Plaza, the city built it up, but now has marked it with demolition carefully excluding properties of the rich, a U.S. congressman, and the El Paso Times.

Landrigan CP, Fahrenkopf AM, Lewin D, et al. Pediatrics. 2008;122:250-258.
Regulations intended to reduce resident physicians' work hours have been accompanied by controversy since their introduction in 2003. Although large-scale studies have demonstrated that the regulations were not associated with adverse clinical outcomes, their effect on patient safety remains unclear. This prospective cohort study combined data on actual hours worked and burnout (voluntarily reported by pediatric residents at three hospitals), with data on medication errors gathered through active surveillance. The most notable finding was that, despite the regulations, residents' total hours worked and sleep habits did not change. Extended-duration shifts (of more than 24 hours) remained common, and the majority of residents met the criteria for burnout, although the incidence did decrease. Medication errors and self-reported medical errors did not improve. The authors interpret these findings as demonstrating a need for further reduction in extended-duration shifts, which have been associated with an increased rate of errors.

Jim Price of Midland, Texas has many talents; he composes, sings, plays piano, brass, arranges and produces Rock/Jazz/Experimental music. He has worked with many well-known artists and groups. The band members with him on the music on his MySpace page include Bobby Keys: Sax, Jim Keltner: Drums, Nicky Hopkins: Keyboards, Klaus Voormann: Bass, John Uribe: Guitar, David Farrell: Bass, and Don Poncher: Drums.
Jim Price has a pleasant voice, the music is harmonious but the unique feature in these songs are the brass instruments. I liked all four pieces of music on his MySpace page, but my favorites are "Pick a Prize" and "You Got the Power." Jim Price's music is fun; it makes you feel good. It is not your average rock/jazz music. I recommend that you check out the music of Music 2 Work 2's friend, Jim Price!

Tablets were once hailed as laptop killers. Within just a few years, the tablet market grew from nothing to selling over 200 million units a year, cannibalizing the laptop market in the process. Both Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Intel (NASDAQ:INTC), the stalwarts of the PC, were left behind as sales weakened.
The post-PC era, however, has yet to materialize. Tablet sales have slowed dramatically, and IDC predicts a flat tablet market in North America and Western Europe in 2014, a far cry from the 25% growth those regions saw in 2013. At the same time, the PC market has stabilized, and Gartner reported that PC shipments actually grew during the fourth quarter to 83.7 million units.
While the past few years have been defined by the incredible rise of mobile devices, the big story in 2015 will be the resurgence of the laptop, a form factor with some new tricks up its sleeve thanks to Intel's Broadwell processors and surprisingly, Microsoft's Windows 8. Some of the most exciting devices unveiled at the recent Consumer Electronics Show were laptops, and that's good news for both companies.
Thin, light, and fast
Intel's Broadwell processors mark the company's move to a 14-nanometer manufacturing process, a more advanced technique that allows for better energy efficiency. Intel claims battery life will improve by 20% to 30% over the previous generation of processors, and graphics performance will increase as well.
Broadwell's benefits can be seen in the types of devices shown off at CES. Lenovo, the largest PC vendor in the world, unveiled the LaVie Z, the world's lightest 13-inch laptop. At just 1.72 pounds, the LaVie Z easily bests Apple's 13-inch MacBook Air which weighs in at 2.96 pounds. A slightly heavier version with a touchscreen will also be available, allowing the device to be used much like Lenovo's Yoga line of convertible laptops.
Dell showed off its new XPS 13, also featuring Broadwell and what the company is calling an "infinity display." Dell has removed nearly all of the bezel that typically surrounds the screen, allowing the company to squeeze a 13-inch laptop into a much smaller frame. The result is what Dell refers to as the smallest 13-inch laptop on the planet, although it's quite a bit heavier than Lenovo's LaVie Z.
Asus, which previously had success with its Transformer Book T100 two-in-one, unveiled a larger, more powerful variant called the Transformer Book Chi. There are three versions of the Chi, with the high-end T300 using Intel's new Core M processor, a version of Broadwell with extremely low power usage aimed at fanless two-in-ones. Core M has allowed Asus to make the T300 thinner than a MacBook Air and twice as powerful as an iPad Air, all with eight hours of battery life.
The trend is clearly toward thin, light, and versatile machines. Broadwell provides the horsepower while sipping battery power compared to previous generations, and Microsoft Windows 8 enables convertible and two-in-one devices to work well as both laptops and touch devices.
Wintel makes a comeback
Initially missing the boat on tablets, Intel has been busy subsidizing its low-end Atom chips in order to win market share. Similarly, Microsoft started giving away Windows for small devices to lower prices and spur demand. Needless to say, both companies are welcoming PC sales growth with open arms.
Before Broadwell, Intel had Atom processors for low-end tablets and two-in-ones and Core processors for higher-end devices such as the Microsoft Surface Pro 3. Core M fills the gap between those two extremes, and it should result in a wider range of price points over the next year. Intel should benefit not only from increased laptop sales, but also by providing midrange alternatives to low-end Atom-powered devices.
And despite the problems with Windows 8, real or perceived, the operating system is far more versatile than either Android or iOS, and the upcoming Windows 10 release should address many of the issues people have with the current version. Microsoft's decision to build an OS capable of both a traditional desktop and touchscreen interface is ultimately what has enabled the wide range of laptop form factors we're seeing today.
This versatility, combined with the efficiency and performance of Intel's Broadwell, has created an environment in which laptops are once again appealing to consumers. Tablets are simply unable to match the productivity features of laptops, and we are seeing that reality in stagnating tablet sales.
The PC market has the potential for a great 2015. It will be driven by thin, light, and fast devices, spread across the full spectrum of price points. The release of Windows 10 later this year should be another tailwind, possibly prompting those still using Windows 7 to finally upgrade their hardware. They'll certainly have plenty of options to choose from.

knot springs environmental design
completed 2016
Knot springs is a spa and social club located inside YARD, a residential building in Portland, Oregon. The client approached us with a need for a brand identity and environmental graphics.
For OSC, the identity needed to represent both the beauty of Oregon and the adventure of finding that hidden hot spring on the trail with friends. We designed the butterfly clip for the redwood-cut to be the plan view of the building, having that story with hidden surprises.
We pulled inspiration from trail signage, the symbol for water, charcoal lines, and Oregon's history; these elements became our anchor points for the Knot Springs identity. The triangle symbols we created translated into many different applications: brass wayfinding, hand painted icons, an icosahedron (the backdrop of our muscle diagram), and neon street signage
Knot springs is centered around the spa ritual experience: caldarium (hot), tepidarium (warm), cold plunge, steam and sauna. This experience became the launch point for our inspiration.
It was important to us to highlight Oregon artists in the project, collaborating with a Portland based photographer
Ryan Leitz
– who had a fitting collection of photos from alvord desert, crater lake, and painted hills – and used the photos as graphic backdrops throughout the space.

Solar Panel And Electrical Services – FAQ's
Here are a few of the most asked questions that we get at Green Spark regarding our products and services. If you don't find the answer that you are looking for here, please feel free to get in touch with us so that we can answer any questions that you may have.
How will getting solar panels help the environment?
Getting solar panels helps to cut down your household's reliance on non-renewable energy sources – such as coal and gas – and reduce your carbon footprint.
Rather than using electricity that is sourced through the combustion of fossil fuels, a primary cause of global warming, solar power is a clean energy option that reduces the amount of harmful greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere.
It produces no air pollution or greenhouse gas emissions.
What are the financial benefits of getting solar panels?
In most cases, implementing solar power at your home saves you money on electricity bills because you are offsetting the electricity you use by getting it from the Solar Power System, rather than the grid. The feed-in tariff you receive for your surplus power will also reduce the amount of electricity you buy from the grid.
Solar panel systems also require minimal maintenance. Their durability, together with the quality installation job we can provide, will also ensure they last you through the years.
What subsidies are available in Queensland if I get solar panels?
The Queensland Solar Bonus Scheme is in place to pay you for the surplus electricity your home generates through the installation of solar power systems.
Your eligibility for government solar rebates will depend on several factors, like size of the system and location (postcode) of your home.
What's the process for getting solar panels?
After you have contacted Green Spark to arrange a home visit with one of our qualified electricians, we will conduct an on-site assessment of your household's suitability.
We will then design a solar power system that meets your individual needs, which you are able to review before we install it.
How will I know that solar panels are right for my home?
Green Spark Electrical is able to advise you on whether your home is a good candidate for solar power. However, factors that can improve your potential include:
– A reasonably large rooftop
– Minimal shade caused by factors like nearby trees, chimneys, satellite dishes, or neighbouring buildings
– A reasonably sunny climate
How much solar energy can I generate? What size system do I need?
The amount of electricity generated will depend on the size of your system, the direction it's facing, whether there is any shade on the system, and your local climate.
What's involved in the installation process, and how long will it take? Can I start using my panels right away?
A typical installation process will take around a day to complete, after which your panels are ready for immediate use.
What happens on cloudy days?
Although the amount of power generated may be less on overcast days, solar panels can still produce a considerable amount of energy in cloudy weather. Unlike shade, fog and cloud allow for some sunlight to pass through and reach your rooftop.
How does Green Spark advise of rebates?
Green Spark will advise of the rebates and feed-in tariffs available at the time of quotation, as these are dependent on the size of your system and your electricity retailer.
Does Green Spark liaise with the electricity retailer/distributor to ensure the meter is correct and that a feed-in tariff will be received?
Yes, we will guarantee that a feed-in tariff will be received and advise you of how much is available. We stay up-to-date with all the changes in the world of solar.
Green Spark will send an application in for solar to be approved BEFORE we install so that you can be assured that your meters are correct and you are eligible to receive a feed-in tariff.
What warranty comes with the Green Spark system?
Generally, our inverters come with a 5–10 year warranty; however, the warranty you receive will depend on the product you've purchased. The warranty on top-end inverters can be extended to up to 25 years via the manufacturer's own Australian offices.
Panels generally carry a 10-year factory warranty and a 25-year guarantee to produce over 80% of their nominated power output after the 25-year period.

I have very emotional little boys, and I love it. They love, laugh, clench their fists in anger, and cry really big and really often. They are compassionate, and they are selfish; they are forgiving, and they hold grudges; they are grateful, and they are spoiled. All three of them experience the gamut of human emotion and temptation at different levels of maturity, and (most of the time) I am so thankful for their passion—even when it's misdirected.
Ryan and I have the privilege of guiding them through their emotional maturity. We try to find the balance between encouraging and not squashing how deeply they feel everything while still offering perspective and tools to handle their reactions. Example: crying over hurt feelings, grief, pain, and disappointment is fine; a total meltdown because your mama won't buy you another Skylander because you have a thousand at home and we're just here to buy milk…might not be necessary. As they get older, they see this more clearly on their own.
One way that I have truly seen God's work in my life through the mix of joys and trials these last eighteen months is my own emotional maturity when it comes to perspective. Losing my mom and fighting for my life has helped me to see the things I encounter each day with new perspective. I readily admit that sometimes I still have the knee-jerk reaction to freak out over laundry mountains, little boy chaos, or unwritten lesson plans. But I've been so thankful that now I more often react with trust and gratefulness to life's adventures. I can more easily see what is a big deal and what is truly not. My definition of tragedy or even disappointment has been shifted. Changes in plans, failures, and unmet expectations are not tragedies. I am seeing them as opportunities to trust God to keep his promises and stay true to his character—which he ALWAYS does. The evidence in the Bible and the story of my life show his faithfulness. This perspective is supernatural, and I do not take credit for it. I am by nature a worrier who can turn a molehill into a mountain in less than one sleepless night. My being able to move forward with confidence in God's control and provision is a new and beautiful gift he's given me, formed by my battle with cancer and grief.
The greatest example of this has been Ryan's work situation. His company, Creo Agency, closed around the holidays, and he started a job search. A few years ago I would have felt that this was tragic and would have worried and toiled until I made myself sick. But over the last month, I have felt peace, comfort, and even excitement about what lies ahead. I have also felt sadness over how much our life is going to change, but the lack of worry is evidence of God's work in me.
This is why this last week has surprised me so much and showed me that my walk with God is never a finished product. I went into a day surgery to finish up my reconstruction process two weeks ago with no worries at all. I was not thrilled about being out of commission for a few days, but I was very relieved that this was the last surgery on my plate. My plastic surgeon worked his magic, and I left his office ready to begin life without so much medical intervention. Even through the pain over the next few days, I knew God had gotten me through much worse. I did not fret.
Last Wednesday I went to Medford to have my bandages removed, and all that changed. Nothing tragic happened, but it was instantly clear that something was wrong. My six weeks of radiation last year had made the damaged skin respond badly to the surgery. I looked burned and marred. With a dismaying swiftness, I lost my supernatural perspective.
Even though I knew in my head it did not matter what I looked like and God could get me through any more surgeries that may now be necessary, I felt ugly, worried, weary, weak, fragile, mangled, and oh so damaged. These feelings overwhelmed my trust and the foundation of what I had learned about perspective. I felt I was failing some kind of test; I was frustrated that I couldn't let the history of God's faithfulness in my life give me comfort. As I cried over my disappointment, I worried that I was hurting God by not being more thankful for his blessings. Why was I so devastated by this setback when I was able to respond with gratitude to bigger hurts?
Now this blog post isn't going to wrap up with how I've come to the other side, because I cried as I bandaged my wound this morning. I keep chastising myself for not being able to see that this isn't that big of a deal, especially in light of what so many people are going through right now. But as I move forward, I feel God giving me more peace as each moment passes. Hopefully peace will lead to acceptance and acceptance to gratitude and godly perspective again.
His peace comes through his reminders of truths that are beginning to win the battle against my feelings. He's reminding me that even when I hurt him, he loves and forgives me. He's reminding me that while Satan can capitalize on my weakness (self-image), God is stronger than Satan and real Kingdom-building work can be done in that same weakness. And the most healing truth is his reminder that no matter how scarred my outer appearance is, no matter how many surgeries are ahead, he has healed and redeemed my soul. By his wounds I have been healed; through my wounds, he is rescuing my body.
No matter where you are on your journey to gain godly perspective—throwing a tantrum over not getting a toy at Walmart or accepting whatever comes your way with grace—please be encouraged that God is working in you. Whether it is the big stuff or the small stuff that is tripping you up, "cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you" (1 Peter 5:7). Freely feel your emotions--your hurt, and even your doubt (for our emotions are a reflection of an emotional God)--but embrace and rest in the truth of Christ: "neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans8:38-39).

This is a call-to-action for employers and lawmakers on behalf of mothers who want to work. We make up millions of skilled and eager applicants, a truly missed opportunity for companies.
I and all of my stay-at-home mom friends want to work in some form. Some sell homemade products on Etsy or lotions, containers, jewelry, and kitchen supplies through social networks. Some act as backup daycare for other people's children or as servers at weekend parties. Some have blogs, portfolios, or party-planning businesses. We want to work because we like it. We want to capitalize on our excellent skills and experience, and we want to contribute financially to our family. The challenge is that the most critical requirement is flexibility.
The problem is that finding employment often feels like all or nothing. The majority of opportunities for working woman are a full-time job that requires 40+ set hours with a commute or else figuring out self-employment.
Millions of expecting women and working mothers leave the workforce because they feel pressure to give it all or go home. We enjoy working because we love the thrill of a great presentation, or making the sale, or fixing problems. We love talking to other adults and using our brains. We still want to contribute but we know that working full-time, in an office is too much and we tap out.
Working mothers require flexibility. We need the opportunity to fully or partially work remotely. Life is full of surprises; kids get sick or school is unexpectedly closed and mothers want the endorsement that we can responsibly handle both. We need the option of flex hours or part-time work because we actually want to be with our children. When school is out because of holidays or summer vacation, we prioritize that time to be present, to be with them. Sometimes we can find situations that work, but they are one-off and need to be more systemic.
It doesn't mean we aren't serious. Give us accountability through clear goals, check-ins, and deliverables and we will produce. Flexibility with appropriate accountability is key. It should reduce any employer's fear that work can't or won't get done.
Working mothers are loyal and hard-working. Employers should target mothers if they looking for a reliable employee pool that won't leave them high-and-dry after one year for a few extra bucks. We are in it for the long-term and after solidifying a situation that truly fits, you won't find us taking it for granted. Remember that life isn't stagnant. As our kids get older and more self-reliant, our availability may grow. We could possibly be your best full-time employee in 3 years.
We're grown ups. We have management experience at home and we know how to coach, herd cats, and resolve problems creatively. Mothers are self-motivated and natural multi-taskers.
Working mothers respectfully call for employers to identify needs that can be filled creatively. The 40 hour, in-office workweek is outdated. Thanks to modern tools of online chatting, call forwarding, video conferencing, and screen sharing there is no need to exclusively be in the office to collaborate and get work done. Truly weigh if an office presence is required. Consider if high motivation and occasional travel is more needed.
In a world with on-demand videos, grocery delivery, couriers, and fitness training why not on-demand employment? Consider freelance support for one project or 15 hours a week for light help. Use flex hours to attract the very top of top talent.
HR departments, what's really holding back flexible employment opportunities? Is it a lack of creative thinking on the part of hiring managers? Is it an anxiety of being the first? Is it federal and state regulations? Motivated mothers implore you to start that dialogue. We wish you would encourage and reinforce your company managers to entertain our part-time, hourly, and job share proposals. We are here and we are ready for the right fit.
There's a war for talent and a large part of the qualified workforce is being shut out. Think different about roles and responsibilities and how work gets done. Make use of this talent that's being sidelined because of outdated ways of doing business.
This is a call-to-action to employers and lawmakers. This is a wake-up call that you are missing out on a talented and motivated resource pool. We don't believe that we are owed jobs or opportunity. All we ask is that you facilitate and consider new ways of filling your employment needs that may attract mothers looking to work hard. We ask you to keep an open mind and an open policy. Give us the flexibility and a chance and we could be your best investment!

It's not everyday that a football player makes headlines for one tackle and some insignificant playing time in a preseason game. But few football players have trekked the rocky path of Atlanta Falcons linebacker Brian Banks.
In 2002, Banks was accused and convicted of rape, a crime that allegedly took place when Banks was 16, and the accuser, Wanetta Gibson, was 15. Banks proclaimed his innocence and Gibson seemed inclined to change her story. Unfortunately, a runaway train of adult influence behind Gibson pushed her into court. The result was a prison sentence for Banks and a $1.5 million settlement for Gibson.
Banks had planned to play for USC at the college level, where he would have played side by side with future Green Bay Packers Pro Bowl linebacker Clay Matthews. Instead, Banks turned his attention to proving his innocence. In 2012, his accuser admitted to lying about the whole incident. The video was subsequently used to exonerate Banks, after he'd already spent five full years in prison.
Upon his release, he made his intent known. He wanted to play in the NFL.
The odds are certainly against any player who's been away from the game of football for 10 years, but the Atlanta Falcons signed Banks as a rookie free agent earlier in 2013. The 28-year-old has made steady progress in relearning the on-field language.
As the Falcons first preseason game waned into the fourth quarter on Thursday — all but a decided victory for the visiting Cincinnati Bengals — Banks entered the game at linebacker, and enjoyed a taste of what he'd always dreamed.
Said Banks of the experience, "I was amped up the entire time, all the way until they said the game was over. I'm still amped up, going around, shaking everyone's hand."
He understands his journey is still an uphill climb. "It's a dream come true. I'm still fighting for a spot on the team, but I said I would make it to the NFL and play a game, and I did that today."
It'll be a haul to make the 53-man roster within the next three weeks, but nobody's going to discount Brian Banks' determination. It seems appropriate that he's already wearing #53 as his jersey number. If he doesn't make the team, there's always a chance he'll be asked to join the practice squad so the Falcons can further evaluate his development.
Damn the prison sentence. Here's hoping Banks finds his way onto the final roster. He's waited long enough.

I love to find new recipes for my in-season vegetables, and often I turn to http://www.epicurious.com for inspiration. The Epicurious website catalogues recipes from Bon Appetit, Food and Wine, and the late, great, Gourmet. Gourmet was one of my favorite magazine because of it's beautiful photographs and in-depth foreign food explorations. I decided to submit a few recipes this month to the website Gourmet Unbound, which celebrates the former magazine, but through food blogs that mine the Gourmet Archives. The above is a very simple recipe of roasted parsnips and carrots (I had a bag each in my CSA that week) with herbs. I used the last of the sage from my garden, and some fresh rosemary leftover from another dish. Yum! The recipe is from Gourmet, December 2002.

Photographer/Retoucher/Founder of Lady
Los Angeles, CA

What do you do?
As a photographer I cater to special events clients and portraits.
Many of my clients include events focused on festivals, fine arts, gallery openings, award ceremonies, and red carpet events.
In addition to special events I offer an open air photo booth digital files only. I bring the studio to you. Let's make things easy! Because of my unique knack for catching the right moment, posing people and personality, I have a special relationship with all my clients and aim for customer satisfaction.
All of the images I take I edit. Retouching and photo editing is included in many of my packages.
I am also the founder and director of Lady.
Lady is an all female collective and networking group focused on the individual artist or entrepreneur. What has started out as a passion project, I began with a few friends in Venice and it has grown to over 500 members of all walks of life with a common goal. Every Lady Event is different. It is a combination of an event, vendor bazaar, live performance and artist exhibition. Each event has a different theme geared to raising women up with titles like Persephone, La Sirena Goddess of the Sea, and The Art of Fashion.
In addition to art shows I have begun to teach photography and painting workshops and hosting meetups.
What steps did you take to get where you are now?
Trial and Error. Passion. Strong Will. Pure Stubbornness. Refusal to Settle. Desire to Live my Dreams not Imagine them.
For other people in your field, what do they usually lack?
Determination, never quit. Mistakes are awesome because they are our greatest friends pointing us to the deepest truth. Where there is Darkness the is Light.
What are you working on right now?
I am working with several different companies in building brands with photography, art direction and logo design. Please check my latest work at www.MarlenaElise.com.
The latest thing I worked on was work as an event photographer and photo editor for the Worthy Women. This is such a thrill for me because it is a passion for me to support other women in achieving their goals and dreams.
We are all Slashies with multiple skills, which one do you wish you could do more often?
I focus on Photography and Photo Editing the most however, I never turn down an opportunity to grow and learn.
What is frustrating you right now?
I strive for integrity and honesty, many companies expect artists who have years of experience to work for free. It's completely unethical and wrong. Many companies take advantage of their employees - this is something I'd like to bring to awareness.
What task keeps landing at the bottom of the To Do list?
All the little things.
If you could hire someone for $20/hour, what would you have them do to make your day easier?
I'd hire them to do all the things I just haven't gotten around to doing. As well as assist with marketing and sales.
Let's bring out the time machine. What do you wish you could have told yourself, when, and why?
The power is always within me.
If you could talk to an expert to gain more insight on something, what would it be about?
Building a stronger business. Many artists need to stop thinking as themselves as artists, rather as business women.
What kind of opportunities/projects are you looking for?
Ideally I'd like to focus on events and portraits. However I am open to the possibilities that may lay ahead.
What is your ideal client?
Integrity, responsible, and clear communication. Contracts work when all parties are met. Many clients simply do not know what they want. Also having a realistic budget that makes all parties happy.
Do you allow yourself to say No?
I do my best to educate clients on ethics of my business. Many people just don't know. It is our job to fully explain what services we will provide, having a contract and clear communication before the set work date will protect all parties. Being firm about policies and business transactions is also important.
What is your rate?
It really depends on the project.
How should someone approach you about working together?
Nothing beats a real face to face meeting. Online and phone communication or even texting gets more complicated. I like meeting all my clients in person before finalizing on a project.
This member profile was originally published in November 2015.

Hello fashionistas!
Sorry for being a bit MIA lately- life has been craaaaazaaay.
Sorry for being a bit MIA lately- life has been craaaaazaaay.
This week was midterm week at school and it was like a nonstop stress-fest. If all goes according to plan I should end up with all A's again. Crossing my fingers that the final grades (essays and projects) keep me safe! Sorry for neglecting the blog, I just had to focus school. Anyways, here's an outfit that I meant to post #lastweek. Yes, I am behind..
Shirt: The GAP Jacket: Jones New York Scarf: birthday present from New York and Company Jeans: Kohl's Shoes: Nine West Ring: birthday present.
I really wanted a casual look for this day because after school I was going to check in on my boyfriend- he had just had his wisdom teeth removed. Then after that I was going out for sushi with one of my friends.
I loved that my mom got me this scarf for my birthday because Pantone just named emerald has the 2013 color of the year! I love the subtle glam with the sequins. I paired my t-strap heels with cuffed jeans for a laid back look. I kept my hair and makeup very simple.
Today my sister and our good friend went Christmas shopping at the mall. I finished my mom's present, my sister's present, my boyfriend's presents and some presents for a few friends. I also *may* have purchased a few things that were on sale for myself! Will show you guys soon!
Tomorrow my family is going down to Orlando to visit some family from my mom's side. Should be really fun, especially because the boyfriend is tagging along. Hope you guys get all of your last minute holiday presents bought and enjoy the weekend!
Loads of love!
PS: I have fallen in love with Paloma Faith's music, she is amazing. Give this song a listen!
And this one..
Alright, I'm really leaving now. ( ;
