November 15, 2010
You get mad if anyone calls you anything other than 'Lukey" these days - proudly jamming your thumb to your chest and saying "NO, I YUKEY!", even if someone just says, "you're silly!". I suppose I'll start your letter out that way this month so you aren't mad at me. :) You understand your identity in an interesting way, these days. You often say family (which sounds like "famy") and then go around saying mommy, daddy, edward (ahwah), odin (owen) and lukey (yukey). It's truly sweet.
So, you're 22 months today. What the heck! You're so big. You're nearly 30 pounds and 3 feet. What happened to my squish??
You are such a smart little guy. Your ability to speak the way you do is your most common compliment (the second being how handsome you are :) ). While your grammar is far from correct - you are stringing 4 and 5 word sentences together now! You made Grandma laugh yesterday when we were in the car and I put some music on - you got all excited and exclaimed, "I like it song!" (which to you means, I like this song).
You often amaze me with things like that. One day you had a little side conversation about a toy that wasn't working. Your speech went like this: "Uh oh, not workin! Need batteries. Where screwdriber, mama?". Seriously, could you be any cuter??
Let's see what else...you can count to ten! It's so impressive. And so far the only letters you get right 100% of the time are O & B - but I'm working on teaching you the letters of your name, now. I have a feeling it will take us almost no time! You've picked up a couple new signs, too - "thank you" (instead of only saying the words), "diaper" and "poop". OH - and you are VERY particular about pronouncing the S on plural words. It's a sound that you'd have to hear to understand, but many times the "s" sound comes a few seconds after the word because you're making sure you're set your mouth up right to say it correctly. It's sooo cute!
You have been my #1 fan lately. Grandma has been complaining that you don't care about her anymore, only Mommy. (Don't tell her I said so, but that's okay with me :) ). You are the sweetest little guy - often offering up hugs and kisses to me & Daddy, just because. You do the same for the kitties - although Edward is the only one willing to accept them. You even hug the fish tank after you help Daddy feed them! You've got so much love to give, little man - I love that about you! You've also been telling us all that we're handsome. Hmm...maybe mommy says that one to you a little too much lol :)
Your favorite things these days are - books, puzzles, kitchen utensils (you are always telling people that you're cooking eggs! lol), airplanes, trains, and dinosaurs. You even say T-Rex - it's so cute!! You've been a big fan of your Brobee, too. You carry him around, share your snacks and drinks with him, read books to him, put him down for naps, and you even tried to put a diaper on him the other day!! Do you need a sibling, or what?? Hopefully you will have one by next summer! ;)
This past month you celebrated your 2nd Halloween. You were James Bond - and an extremely handsome one at that! Many ladies giggled at the site of you. You absolutely insisted on holding your candy bag yourself - even if it meant dragging it along the sidewalk! I guess you didn't even trust Mommy & Daddy to carry it for you! You sure do love that candy! You did an awesome job - you were sick and it was cold, but we bundled you up and you said trick or treat, boo, and thank you to every single person. It was impressive!
We're getting VERY excited for the rest of the holidays coming up!! I've been talking to you about Christmas lately, and while I'm not sure you'll truly get it until you start seeing it....I can tell you're going to be a TON of fun this year!
I can't believe we only have 2 months left of this 2nd year of yours. It's been a fun, crazy, silly, loving year - and while I'm sad to see it wind down, I'm in love with who you are becoming and I can't wait to see how you continue to grow! I love you more than anything, bubs. Truly.

Hold on, it can all change in a moment.
Acts 24:11 "You can easily verify that no more than twelve days ago I went up to Jerusalem to worship."
It is unclear whether Paul was saying he had been in Jerusalem only 12 days or whether he was saying 12 days ago he had arrived into the city. What we know from verse 1 is that Paul had now been waiting for the trial to start for 5 days. So whether or not it was 12 days or 17 days, the point is in less than 3 weeks his life has been turned upside down.
We often say that it's good we do not know what tomorrow will bring. It doesn't take long for everything to change. It doesn't take 3 weeks, it can take one day.
Some suffer for years and they think things will never change. Some go through life with no cares and then are hit by a sudden storm they think they will never get through.
You are one touch from the King for your miracle. You may walk on a precipice and are one slip from failure. Your life can change in a moment, for the good and the bad.
So move on from yesterday, live for today and prepare for tomorrow by keeping hold of the Master's hand because the time really is short.

William "Bill" Sharp, retired founder and CEO of Sharp Advertising Inc., was well-known in the advertising community for his expertise and achievements in communications, for his community involvement and for his contributions to motivating minority youth. Sharp cultivated a diverse career in advertising for himself, working both agency and client side, as well as starting his own ventures.
In 1967, while working as a copy editor at J. Walter Thompson, he founded and instructed the "Basic Ad Course," an American Association of Advertising Agencies–sponsored program that prepared minorities for professional careers in advertising. Sharp also wrote and published a book entitled, "How to Be Black and Get a Job in the Advertising Business Anyway." In later years, The Sharp Award, sponsored by JWT North America and JWT Atlanta, was created to recognize excellence in marketing, advertising and media by presenting a future leader a $3,500 award who embodied the qualities of Sharp.
Sharp held a seat and maintained an active voice within organizations like the 4A's and the American Advertising Federation. He was also a founding board member of The Marcus Graham Project, a national non-profit association dedicated to providing resources for today's diverse youth that will strategically develop a viable pool of talent and leadership within the industry. He was the recipient of numerous awards including, Ad Man of the Year for Southern Magazine, The Art Directors Club of New York Award, AAF Advertising Hall of Fame Inductee, and the AAF Lifetime Achievement Award. He and his cousin, Tom Burrell, were the first, first-cousins to both receive the honor of being an Advertising Hall of Fame Inductee in the history of the award.
Since 1986, Carol H. Williams has been the creative fire behind a progressive and dynamic advertising agency. As president, CEO and chief creative officer of Carol H. Williams Advertising (CHWA), Williams oversees a bevy of advertising and marketing accounts that recognizes and speaks to African Americans and multicultural markets. With offices in Oakland, Chicago and New York, Williams has guided CHWA to become the largest African-American, female-owned advertising and marketing agency in the world.
Williams and her company have produced award-winning campaigns for companies like Hewlett-Packard, General Mills, Walt Disney and Nissan. Prior to starting CHWA, Williams spent some time at Leo Burnett, rising quickly to become they company's first female and African-American creative director and vice president. After 13 years, Williams spent two years as SVP and creative director at Foote, Cone, & Belding (FCB). Following her time at FCB, Williams launched CHWA.
In addition to leading a creative powerhouse, Williams has contributed her time to several organizations including the RainbowPUSH Coalition, the Congressional Black Caucus and the NAACP. Her many achievements include being honored with the ADCOLOR Legend Award, recognized as Black Enterprise's 50 Most Powerful Women in Business, and receiving the U.S. Dept. of Commerce' Lifetime Achievement Award.
Georg Olden began a career as an artist when he dropped out of high school to work as a graphic designer for the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the forerunner to the CIA, shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor. After the end of the war, his manager helped him get a job working for CBS television as the head of on-air promotions.
While working for CBS Olden oversaw the development of logos and graphics for "Gunsmoke", "I Love Lucy", and "Lassie." He also played a role in producing the vote-tallying board for the first televised Presidential election, between Dwight D. Eisenhower and Adlai E. Stevenson.
In 1960 Olden transitioned to advertising, taking on a role as the television group art director at BBDO. In 1963 he accepted the positon of Vice-President of and Senior Art Director of McCann Erickson. During his career his name was mentioned over 108 times in Graphis and Art Director's Club annuals.
Georg settled on the spelling of his name early on in his career. "You have to do something to attract the attention of the magazine editors," he told Advertising Age in 1963. By 1970 he'd earned 7 Clios and even designed the statuette in 1962. Olden was also the first African-American to design a U.S. postage stamp, a broken chain commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation. President John F. Kennedy praised the stamp as "a reminder of the extraordinary actions in the past as well as the business of the future."
John H. Johnson, along with his wife Eunice Walker Johnson, built an African-American lifestyle-inspired media and cosmetics empire in Chicago that included Ebony, Jet and Fashion Fair Cosmetics. Today, these publications and their digital sites reach nearly 72% of African-Americans and have a following of over 20.4 million.
Johnson briefly attended both University of Chicago and Northwestern University, and was involved as a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. Soon after his time in school, he launched a magazine, The Negro Digest, in 1942. The Negro Digest was the foundation for Ebony Magazine. With a desire to create quality content for Blacks in the United States, Johnson began his publishing and cosmetics conglomerate with just $500 dollars.
In 1954 the Johnson Publishing Company financed a film, "The Secret of Selling the Negro Market, to encourage advertisers to promote their products and services in the African-American media. The film showed African-American professionals, housewives and students as participants in the American consumer society, and it emphasized the economic power of this demographic community.
Johnson was the first black person to appear on the Forbes 400 Rich List, and had a fortune estimated at close to $600 million. Johnson served on the Board of Directors of Dillard's Inc., and he has served on the boards of First Commercial Bank, Little Rock; Dial Corporation; Zenith Radio Corporation; and Chrysler Corporation.
Media and advertising executive Esther "E.T." Franklin was born in Chicago and received her B.S. degree in business administration from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana in 1979 and her M.M. degree from Northwestern University's Kellogg Business School in 1993.
In 1980, Franklin was hired as a field project director at Market Facts, Inc. in Chicago. From 1982 to 1993, she worked for Burrell Communications, first as a market research analyst, and later as vice president and associate research director. In 1984, Franklin took a brief hiatus from Burrell Communications to work as a research manager for the Johnson Publishing Company. She was hired by Leo Burnett Advertising in 1993 and worked on various Philip Morris brands as vice president and planning director for Marlboro USA until 2001. At Leo Burnett, Franklin was instrumental in launching several corporate trend initiatives, including LeoShe, Foresight Matters and 20Twenty Vision, focused on the female consumer and twenty-something audience. She also appeared on Oprah, where she discussed LeoShe's research on beauty myths.
In 2002, Franklin was named senior vice president, director of consumer context planning for Starcom USA, a Starcom MediaVest Group (SMG) company. She was appointed as executive vice president, director of cultural identities of Starcom MediaVest Group in 2006, and was later promoted to executive vice president, head of SMG Americas Experience Strategy in 2011. During her time at SMG, Franklin pioneered Cultural Communication Anthropology and worked on Beyond Demographics, a research study exploring the vital role of culture and identity in reaching consumers.
Franklin has received numerous honors for her work. She was named an AdAge "Women to Watch" and received the "Changing the Game" honor from Advertising Women of New York (AWNY). Franklin was honored with the prestigious "Legend Award" at the 2011 ADCOLOR Awards & Conference, and was identified as one of the Top Women Executives in Advertising & Marketing by Black Enterprise in both 2012 and 2013. She has published several multicultural and subculture targeting pieces, and is sought out as a speaker and panelist on all topics related to the evolving consumer landscape.
With over 30 years of experience, Valerie Graves has spent the bulk of her career on correcting the cultural images of African Americans in advertising. "When I got my first job in advertising, I found my profession. When I moved to multicultural advertising, I found my calling," she says. "Nothing gives me more pleasure than accurately depicting the majesty of Black people."
The first 10 years of Graves' career were spent in copywriting and creative director roles at high-profile general market agencies like BBDO, J. Walter Thompson and Kenyon & Eckhardt. After that, Graves joined UniWorld, a multicultural agency founded by Byron Lewis, as vice-president and creative group head. In an interview, Graves explained that most high-level folks in multicultural agencies had been immersed in general market agencies, but like her, reached a ceiling that didn't look like it would break anytime soon. The barrier to promotions for many people of color led them to go off on their own and either start their own agencies or join multicultural shops.
Graves has a number of exciting career highlights. She served as the SVP of Corporate Creative Services at Motown Records. While at Nelson Communications, Graves created an integrated campaign for World Aids Day in 1999, featuring former Surgeon General, Jocelyn Elders. Her extensive work with Fortune 500 corporations earned her the first Legend award at ADCOLOR. She's also received a range of additional awards including; Advertising Age's 100 Best and Brightest; Ebony's Outstanding Women in Marketing and Communications award; and the Association of National Advertisers Multicultural Excellence Awards.
Ann Fudge has led a lucrative career honing in on her talent for "resuscitating older brands" and exercising "patience, perseverance and persistence." Fudge attended Simmons College in Boston where she received her undergraduate degree. After graduating with an M.B.A. from Harvard University in 1977, she worked nine years for General Mills in Minneapolis, Minn. Fudge advanced from marketing assistant to marketing director and was instrumental in the development and introduction of Honey Nut Cheerios, one of the country's best-selling breakfast cereals.
In 1994 she became president of Maxwell House Coffee Co., a division of Kraft General Foods. The appointment made her the highest–ranking black female executive in corporate America. In 2003 after a 2-year sabbatical, Fudge took on the role of Chairman & CEO of Young & Rubicam Brands—the multinational advertising division of WPP Group, a communications company based in London—and of Y&R Advertising, the company's largest division. Doing so made her the first African American to head a major Madison Avenue advertising agency.
In 2008, Fudge was a member of the Obama presidential campaign's finance committee. As of 2011, Fudge served on the boards of directors of General Electric, Novartis, and Unilever. She also served as chair of the U.S. Programs Advisory Board of The Gates Foundation; and she was a trustee of the Rockefeller Foundation, Brookings Institution, the Council on Foreign Relations and Morehouse College
Fudge's honors included the Black Achievers award from the Harlem YMCA, the Candace Award from the National Coalition of 100 Black Women, and the Boys and Girls Club of America President's Award. She sat on the boards of Liz Claiborne, Inc., and Allied Signal, Inc. Her long history of community service included positions on the boards of the Women's Economic Development Corp., the Partnership for a Drug Free America, the allocations panel of the United Way, the Council on Foreign Relations, and the Executive Leadership Council. Fudge continues to serve on both corporate and non-profit boards.
Tom Burrell began his career in advertising while still in college, becoming the first Black man in Chicago advertising. His senior year, he landed a position as a copywriter with the Chicago division of Wade Advertising then moved over to Foote Cone & Belding (now FCB), where he became a Copy Supervisor. In 1971 Burrell branched out and started his own shop, Burrell Communications (originally Burrell McBain), with the intention of targeting the burgeoning African-American market. His clients included McDonalds, Coca-Cola, Ford, and Proctor & Gamble, to name a few.
Burrell generated positive change in the ad industry by casting African-Americans in roles that had initially been off limits for them in the media. Instead of exaggerated, stereotypical tropes, Burrell placed African-Americans in roles that were more reflective of their everyday lives.
During his career Burrell has held several leadership roles within organizations such as the Ad Council, American Association of Advertising Agencies (AAAA) and The Chicago Urban League. In 1986 he received the Albert Lasker Award for Lifetime Achievement in Advertising. In 1990, he was the recipient of the Missouri Honor Medal for Distinguished service in Journalism. He was inducted into the American Advertising Federation's Hall of Fame in 2004. After retiring, Burrell wrote "Brainwashed: Challenging the Myth of Black Inferiority," a call to action to question self-defeating attitudes and behavior.
Clarence LeRoy Holte was a pioneer in multicultural marketing and publisher and founder of Nubian Press Inc. in New York City. After spending some time working as a bank teller followed by a few years as a sales rep for Lever Brothers Company, Holte joined Batten, Barton, Durstine & Osborn, Inc. (BBDO) in 1952. He became the first African-American to reach the executive level in a general-market advertising firm.
Holte often ventured to Europe and Africa during his time at BBDO which inspired him to create the first ad campaign that linked a brand with Black History. "The Ingenious Americans" campaign was created for National Distillers™ Old Taylor company. Holte's career at BBDO lasted for 20 years and in 1971 he left the company to start Nubian Press. The first book, Nubian Baby Book, was created to introduce black children to their African-American heritage.
Holte was a dedicated and prominent book collector, motivated by a desire to learn more about his roots. His collection grew to over 7,000 books and was worth over $400,000. At one time, it was considered one of the largest and most valuable private book collections in the world.
An avid book collector, Holte had a collection of over 7,000 books acquired from all over the world on black history and culture. At one time, it was considered one of the largest and most valuable (over $400,000) private collection of its kind in the world. The Clarence L. Holte Literary Prize was created to recognize publications dealing with the cultural heritage of Black Americans. In 1981 Lincoln University awarded Holte with an honorary doctorate degree.
Since 2001, BBDO has sponsored the 4A's / American Association of Advertising Agencies Clarence LeRoy Holte Multicultural Advertising Intern Program (MAIP) award. The award is given each year to a student who exemplifies outstanding leadership an initiative and a passion for our business, who embraces its principles, and who demonstrates poise, compassion and consideration of the team effort.
Archie Boston had humble beginnings as the son of a sugar cane sharecropper father and a mother who kept house. While he grew up poor, he was well aware of the value of an education. His drawing and painting skills got him accepted into Chouinard Art Institute (soon to become CalArts), where his older brother attended and which he afforded with National Defense Student Loans. An internship at Carson/Roberts solidified his desire to be a part of the advertising industry. "The creative people were treated like they were the most important in the agency," he wrote in his 2001 memoir, Fly in the Buttermilk. "I wanted to be one of them so bad I could taste it."
Early on Boston bounced between design studios and advertising agencies, while also serving out his National Guard duty. Though he and brother Brad had worked together before—notably on a series of posters for the Council on Negro Affairs in 1963—the pair formed Boston & Boston Design in 1967. As a new firm courting companies that did not know what to make of this outgoing studio with African-American principals, they scrapped constantly for clients.
Provocation and humor go hand-in-hand in Boston's portfolio. By combining both aspects he has created unparalleled pieces of visual communication that evoke racist history while subverting it too. Attention-grabbing pieces like that "Catch a nigger by the toe" mailer have been part of his repertoire from the start. As Boston & Boston he and Brad were strategic about pointing out their blackness, not only as a means of preempting surprises, but also as a platform to showing off their creativity and audacity. A 1966 poster shows Archie in a satin stars-and-stripes ensemble and top hat, pointing at the camera, with the headline "Uncle Tom Wants You!" The next year Archie and Brad produced one with them side by side, shirtless, each with a "For Sale" sign around their necks and a list of their measurements plus their merits and skills. Another declared, "I don't want to marry your daughter." These are artifacts of an era where such promotion doubled as social critique, and in their brashness attempted to hasten society's acceptance of the shifting racial dynamic.
Changing perceptions about race takes perseverance, but Boston has always been enthusiastic about his role in the Los Angeles creative community. He was the first African American to be elected president of the Los Angeles Art Directors Club, where he served two terms. He also paid tribute to the Los Angeles design community in a series of video interviews called 20 Outstanding Los Angeles Designers, which he created while on sabbatical in 1986. Boston visited the studios of designers he admired, from heavyweights like Saul Bass to his former instructor Louis Danziger and digital avant-garde designer April Greiman. Twenty-one years later he released the videos on DVD, sharing these important documents of the creative scene to serve as inspiration for students.
After retiring from teaching, he noted in his last lecture, "I want to be remembered as a designer and educator, someone who documented my experience as an African American."
Emory Douglas was raised by his legally blind mother and lived a relatively quiet childhood. After moving to the Bay Area in 1951, Douglas began to have conflicts with the law and ended up incarcerated for over a year at a juvenile facility. There, he received his first taste of graphic design, working in the print shop that made products for businesses. He learned the foundations of design, including typography and layout. Intrigued, he later enrolled in art classes that focused on large-scale print production and began making collateral materials for civil rights student groups.
In 1967 he met Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seal, founders of the newly formed Black Panther Party. Upon joining, Douglas began applying his skills to develop the official Black Panther newspaper, and became the Minister of Culture. At the time, African-Americans were frequently depicted in subservient roles or rouge criminals. His work depicted African-Americans in courageous positions, encouraging a spirit of defiance as opposed to victimization during the civil rights struggle. Through posters and newspaper design, Douglas fearlessly illustrated the conflict of the black community in a way that wasn't watered down or censored, revolutionary for his time.
The Black Panther Party eventually dissolved, due to conflicts within the organization and attacks by the government. However, Douglas continues to "inform and educate" through his work. Some of the causes he supports include attacking racism, the prison system and greed. In addition to having his work shown in cultural institutions across the world and receiving several awards, Douglas was presented with the AIGA Medal in 2015.
Interested in learning more about the Black Panther Party and Emory Douglas? PBS will premier The Black Panthers: Vanguard Of The Revolution by filmmaker Stanley Nelson who examines the rise of the Black Panther Party in the 1960s and its impact on civil rights and American culture.
Harvey Russell joined the Coast Guard during World War II, where he became one of the first black deck officers in the Coast Guard's history. After serving he joined a Manhattan advertising firm, in a low-paying job but experienced a fresh career opportunity when the owner of the agency developed a soft drink called Joe Louis Punch and put Russell in charge of marketing.
Unfortunately, Joe Louis Punch did not succeed with American consumers. However with knowledge of the soft drink market, Russell joined PepsiCo in 1950, in a growing department called "Negro sales." By 1958 he had been named manager of Pepsi's ethnic marketing department, which by then also concentrated on Hispanic consumers.
In 1962 Russell was promoted to vice-president. Ebony magazine declared he was the first person of his race to advance so far at an American corporation. The news was also met by an unsuccessful boycott of Pepsi's products by the Ku Klux Klan. During his time at PepsiCo, Russell redefined the company's approach to marketing towards African-Americans. The company began to include positive images of African-Americans in their advertising and also worked to improve the hiring practices and conditions of African-Americans within the company.
Known for his humbleness, Russell stressed that individuals at black-owned companies far surpassed his accomplishments. In his opinion they'd worked harder, carving out a place for themselves literally from nothing. ''I may be the vice president of a large corporation,'' he told an interviewer in 1962, ''but there are Negroes who have built up successful businesses under the most difficult conditions. For me to be selected over these men who overcame much greater odds doesn't make sense.''
By the time he retired from Pepsi in 1983, Russell was vice president of community affairs, responsible for community relations and public relations. He was a longtime board member of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund Inc., and helped develop the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation. In 1964, he was chairman of the Interracial Council for Business Opportunities with Rodman Rockefeller, son of Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller. After his retirement Russell continued to sit on boards and contribute to community affairs.
Dubbed the "Father of Black Public Relations," Moss Kendrix created a legacy of educating corporate America about the purchasing power of African-Americans and changing how the demographic was portrayed in advertisements. Kendrix was a Morehouse College alum and member of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity. After entering the US Army, he spent several years working for the Treasury Department in the War Finance Office. In 1944 he became the director of public relations for the Republic of Liberia's Centennial Celebration. Inspired by his PR work for the US government, he later founded his own public relations firm, acquiring clients who were actively pursuing African-American consumers.
During the 1920s and 1930s, Nehi, a popular soft drink company was by far the favorite of the African-American demographic. At the time, Coca-Cola had yet to properly address the African-American market. Kendrix noticed the opportunity for Coca-Cola and approached the company with a proposal outlining the value of the Africa-American market and how to properly connect with them and give back to the community at the same time. He was hired by Coca-Cola, making him the first African-American to acquire such a large corporate account. Kendrix was involved in developing advertising campaigns for Coca-Cola until the 1970s.
Caroline R. Jones crushed race and sex barriers in advertising to become one of the most impactful black women in the industry.
Her advertising career began in 1963 at J. Walter Thompson in New York. She started as a secretary and subsequently enrolled in an internal training program to become a copywriter, the first African-American to hold the creative position in the agency. During her time there she rose to creative director.
In 1968, Jones played a key role in forming Zebra Associates, a full-service agency with black principals, unheard of during that time. Between the 1970's and 1980's Jones' career alternated between general market agencies and black-owned agencies, including Kenyon & Eckhardt, Batten, Barton, Durstine & Osborn (BBDO), and Mingo-Jones Advertising.

Clay pigeon shooting lessons in Sutton Bridge from one of the world's finest
Clay pigeon shooting has long been on my list of things to do, but sadly I've just never had the time to give it a go.
However, spurred on by an impending big birthday I've been trying out all sorts of new activities lately and decided it was time to bite the bullet and finally have a go at shooting too.
Having barely held, let alone fired, a gun before I thought it would probably be best if I had a professional lesson first and fortunately for me we have the current world number one Olympic trap shooter right here in South Holland – four times Commonwealth Games medallist Aaron Heading, who owns The Priory Clay Target Centre, at Sutton Bridge.
Aaron, who most recently won bronze with the mixed team at the World Championships, in Korea, and then silver at the British Shooting Grand Final, in Wales, is passionate about coaching and helps up-and-coming youngsters as well as offering private lessons and very kindly agreed to show me the basics.
Before we started I warned him my expectations were low, although I was secretly hoping I might hit just one clay - even if by fluke - but he quickly reassured me I wouldn't go home disappointed.
Safety is a priority and I was given ear defenders and eye protection to wear and handed a smaller gun, more suited to woman's frame, before I stepped onto the range.
Because I hadn't shot before Aaron started with a couple of quick tests to determine my dominant eye. Surprisingly it was my left, which meant I would be mounting the gun on my left shoulder.
Next he showed me how to face the trap with my weight bearing forward, how to position the gun stock close to my cheek and where to put my hands so I could line up the barrel markers.
After a quick demonstration – where he made it all look so easy - I took a few practice swings and then it was my turn.
The sound rather than the action startled me the most and unfortunately – although not surprisingly - I missed the first three clays because I was firing too soon.
Aaron advised me to wait for the clay to take more flight and thanks to his wise words I scored a hit on my fifth attempt.
Reeling from my success, I quickly reverted to form and missed another three before hitting a second, although I did miss the final bird.
Nevertheless I was ecstatic with my two out of ten score and finished the lesson buzzing.
I don't think Aaron's got anything to worry about, but thanks to his patience and expert advice he might make a hot shot of me yet – and I'll definitely be returning to the Priory for another round.

From carrying dad's bag to wearing gold medals
Aaron (31), of Long Sutton, started shooting when he was just nine years old, inspired by his dad John and brother Martin, who are also keen shots.
"I was always the kid carrying their bags and cartridges. Then, one day Dad asked me if I'd like to have a go and I jumped at the chance," he recalls.
"From that moment on I was completely hooked; I never looked back – it was just absolutely brilliant and then I qualified for Team GB when I was 12.
"Shooting is very technical and mostly mental, but it's also an endurance sport – made up of little sprints, with qualification spread over two days before the competition final."
Aaron, who is now focussing on securing a place at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, took over The Priory Clay Target Centre in 2015 which he runs with wife Natasha, in between competing and training.
They have overhauled the facilities which include three down-the-line and three skeet ranges, two automatic ball trap ranges and a clubhouse serving refreshments.
"I love coaching – especially helping juniors develop and generally getting more people involved," adds Aaron.
"Having the range means I get to combine everything I love; but it's not just for me, we have GB athletes train here and it's a place for the community too.
"And although it's my workplace, it's also my retreat and provides a bit of normality."

Healthy Green Bean Casserole from Scratch
Green bean casserole is *DA BOMB* and you can quote me on that if you want to.
Crispy, creamy, crunchy, savory... I just love this dish so much. Probably more than I love most people. I'M KIDDING! (ish). But I need you to understand the magnitude of my love for this green bean casserole. It's out of this world.
Growing up, green bean casserole was a staple for our family's holiday dinners. I was obsessed with it even then, as a kid. While most kids hate mushrooms and green beans, there I was, diving in head first. Mom, dad, you're welcome. #GoldenChild.
But in all seriousness, it really doesn't feel like the holidays to me without this dish. I find it especially necessary on Thanksgiving. Call me crazy, but I gotta have it.
I'm from a small town in Florida that I like to consider "southern" and back home green bean casserole is very popular. Like, it's a menu item at some restaurants.
However, once I moved to California, I realized that meany west-coasters (or at least people in Los Angeles) don't really know what green bean casserole is, if they've even heard of it at all. TRAGIC.
So if you're one of the unknowing west-coasters, or the unknowing in general, I'll give you a quick run down of what green bean casserole is all about.
The main ingredient is green beans (obviously). Before baking the green beans, we bathe them in a creamy mushroom sauce that tastes a little peppery and little soy sauce-y. Then we top them with fried onions (which are a gift to taste buds everywhere). Then we bake the entire thing to make the inside even more creamy and the outside perfectly crispy.
Are you sold yet? Thought so.
There are lots of green bean casserole recipes out there that aren't very health friendly though. This is a typical downfall of casseroles in general. For example, a lot of them will call for canned mushroom soup - which is totally not okay unless your'e buying low sodium, organic soup. Which might be hard to find.
But that's where this recipes comes in. It's totally from scratch minus the fried onion pieces that I bought from Trader Joe's, but they are healthier than most options and they are vegan. And for being from scratch, this recipe isn't to time consuming and doesn't require much brain power.
In conclusion guys, if you're looking for a side dish for Thanksgiving next week or the upcoming holidays in December, this one is for you.
What was your favorite dish for the holidays growing up? Let me know in the comments below!

Originating in Spain, the 13 coins wedding tradition symbolizes Christ and his 12 apostles. This wedding tradition is usually associated with Hispanic families and involves the groom giving the coins (either gold or silver) to his bride.The coins, or arrhea, was a Roman custom of breaking gold or silver, one half to be kept by the woman and the other half by the man, as a pledge of marriage. This signified his willingness to support her. The tradition usually places the coins in an ornate box or tray, and this holds good wishes for prosperity. These coins become a part of their family heirloom.
The way the coins are traditionally used during the day of the wedding are as followed: coins are placed on a tray and handed to an assistant to be held until their specific moment in the ceremony. Near the end of the ceremony, the box and coins are given to the minister or officiant who places the coins in the box and hands them to the groom. The bride then extends her cupped hands to her soon to be husband, who will then pour the coins into her extended hands as a symbol of his unquestionable trust, confidence, and pledge to provide financially for them.
A typical Ceremony may sound something like this:
Officiant: "The symbolism of the 13 gold coins in this ceremony is that the groom recognizes his responsibility as a provider, and pledges his ability to support and care for his wife. Acceptance by the bride means taking that trust and confidence unconditionally with total dedication and prudence."
Thirteen gold coins, will now be counted out to the groom.
"As I count out the 13 coins and place them in the grooms hands they also represent different values that the couple desire to share between themselves: love, harmony. cooperation, commitment, peace, happiness, trust, respect, caring, wisdom, joy, wholeness and nurturing. May these coins be a symbol of this couple's mutual love, fidelity and trust. May these coins be a symbol of the Groom and Bride's mutual love, fidelity and trust."
Groom: "I (groom's name) give you (Bride's name) these 13 coins as a symbol of my unquestionable trust and confidence I place in you as my beloved wife. As we united our lives today I share all material responsibility with you."
Bride: "I (bride's name) accept these coins and assure you of my total love and dedication in looking after you, your possessions and my unconditional love."

text: CHICAGO (CBS.MW) -- U.S. Treasury prices are modestly higher, taking corrective action after Friday's losses. Market watchers expect trade to be fairly subdued ahead of Tuesday's all-but-certain rate hike by the Federal Reserve. Fed officials are expected to increase the target overnight lending rate a quarter point in a move that would bring the rate to 1.75 percent. The benchmark 10-year note gained 5/32 to 101 8/32. Its yield [$tnx] declined to 4.10 percent.

A tape depicting ribald sexual encounters between panel members of the current affairs quiz show Front Page Challenge, which aired on the CBC for 816 years before its untimely cancellation in 1995, has somehow been leaked to the Internet and become a runaway hit on the web.
The graphic footage, which, given the attire of its participants, (before it was abruptly cast to the floor) appears to have been filmed after a steamy night of FPC taping in the early 1970's. It contains some of the most depraved sexual conduct ever believed to have occurred in a CBC building.
"According to popular lore, somebody accidentally left the tape running one night," said cultural historian and aging Toronto hipster Joffery Perversity, bowl of popcorn in his lap as he viewed the tape repeatedly for 'research purposes.' "Word on the street was that such post-show orgies were a fairly regular occurrence, and getting an invite was the hottest ticket in town.
"I'll never think of Fred Davis the same way again. And the athleticism of Pierre Berton! I don't know how he kept his bowtie on when he was doing that...thing too obscene to even attempt to describe! My goodness!"
While public decency forbids us to reveal explicit details of the tape, one can rest assured that a viewing of a mere excerpt of the footage depicts copious amounts of copulation between Canada's finest journalistic minds.
"One scene, there must have been a pile of 10 bodies all writhing back and forth including one of the mystery guests from that show-a grocery store manager from Tilsonburg who discovered a saltine cracker that resembled Lester B. Pearson-it was like, totally weird and not alluring whatsoever," said one poster to the discussion board of a Gordon Sinclair fan site who claims to have viewed the videoclip on numerous occasions.
"Whenever an orifice, male or female, would become...disengaged, within a nanosecond, it was filled back up again," added the FPC fan.
Irony and nostalgia-starved scenesters across the country have been downloading the video in droves, to the point where several web sites offering the clip have crashed from all of the traffic. According to reports, so many students were trying to download the 'FPC tape' simultaneously back in April, it crashed the system at Queen's University in Kingston.
In fact, an official from the CBC's group sex research bureau indicated that the Front Page Challenge sex clip has been downloaded even more frequently than the infamous and ubiquitous Tommy Lee and Pamela or Paris Hilton home videos over the past three months.
"DVD versions of the tape should be available shortly in the CBC boutique in Toronto," added the spokesperson, who requested anonymity. "It should be our biggest revenue generator since the Tommy Hunter 'Girls Gone Wild' video series."
According to Lister Sinclair, former cultural apparatchik, host of CBC Radio One's Ideas and one of Toronto's most notorious pussy hounds, the FPC tape was common knowledge among those in the know at CBC headquarters. "Oh sure, those Front Page Challengers, man, they were some of the heaviest partiers in all of T-O," said the broadcast veteran and prominent man of letters. "It was all about free love and exploring the 'doors of perception,' in the words of Huxley. They kept it well hidden, but usually they were smashed out of their gourds when they were taping. There wasn't a man alive who could put away more hash than Jack Webster."
"Hey, man, it was the 70's," added former host of the National Knowlton Nash, who had a minor (non-sex) role in the tape, acting as a play-by-play man of sorts. "That kinda shit was goin' on all over the place. Brother, you should have seen backstage at Don Messer's Jubilee back in the day."
But the question has been posited by some: How did this tape leak? Who's responsible? And why now, exactly?
"Is this just a coincidence?" asked Irene Kavanagh, editor of Thank God for CanCon, a bi-annual periodical dedicated to the Canadian music industry. "I mean, just as Allan Fotheringham is about to release his new gangster rap double album, Fothing at the Mouth, Muthafucka, this video happens to be "accidentally" leaked? I think this may have been done to bolster his declining status in the world of Canadian rap.
"Since he ended his collaborative partnership with (Canadian hip hop superstar) K-OS and decided to go all old school gangster, Foth's career has really nose-dived."
Mr. Fotheringham, or 'Dr. Foth,' as he is known in the business, was unavailable for comment.

And streams of time flow
Sometimes it is hard not to look back and realize the time that has gone by and wonder if you've used it well. This happens in all dimensions: personally, professionally, globally. You look at the things you have done, the things that define what you are right now and just wonder: have I traveled the right way? Have I traveled at all?
It has been tough to get a closure on this. Sometimes it feels like I'm not really doing anything; that I'm fooling myself and letting time just flow by. On other cases, I feel like it is just taking me downstream to a large clearing, I just have to pass through a few turns and everything will be easily visible.
It's interesting how it is easy to lose readers with only a couple of paragraphs. So for the people that are still reading, people that think that can extract some of the hidden meaning behind what is written here, I'll stop. There is no benefit in dwelling on things that are and just dreaming of what might one day be. Today I'm a little depressed, but the reason is not really something I can write down here. It's certainly temporary, but not isolated. It seeps into the future as well as illumine the past.
Alright. Writing too much, time to change topic. Time to go techie.

Well Rehearsed
The rehearsal dinner holds a special place in the array of wedding festivities—it's a celebration that gives the couple's immediate family and close friends a chance to spend some time together before the big day. Your rehearsal dinner venue allows you to set the tone for the wedding events to come or provide a break from a more formal wedding weekend where guests can kick back in a relaxed setting. Whatever your vibe, Austin has a plethora of fabulous venues to make your rehearsal dinner one to remember.
The Oasis on Lake Travis
The Oasis is best known for stunning sunset views over Lake Travis. It's those views that bring couples to the restaurant, and they often return to celebrate their marriage. "Most couples who have their rehearsal dinners here came here on their first date or were engaged here or had a special family memory—that's what people continue to come out for," says wedding coordinator Kelsey Shipman. That, and it's been an Austin icon for 35 years. The restaurant has a huge degree of flexibility when it comes to rehearsal dinners and can host everything from informal, buffet-style dinners to hors d'oeuvres receptions to more formal, plated dinners. Couples can choose from six different banquet spaces, all of which have their own deck that faces the lake and the famous sunset vista.
Capacity: 25–2,000
Address: 6550 Comanche Trail
Phone: 512.266.2442
Website: oasis-austin.com
County Line
County Line, a beloved Austin barbecue restaurant, has two venues, both with stunning views that make a beautiful backdrop for a rehearsal dinner. The original location boasts a 20-mile view of Hill Country, while County Line on the Lake, just off of Lake Austin on Bull Creek, features a large deck overlooking the water. Both venues have private party rooms: the Hill Country location with decks to take in the view, the Lake location with a pavilion tent overlooking the water. While County Line is known for its barbecue, they also offer more traditional grill choices including salmon, steak and chicken.
Capacity: 250
Address: Lake: 5204 F.M. 2222; Hill Country: 6500 W. Bee Cave Road
Phone: Lake: 512.346.3664; Hill Country: 512.327.1742
Website: countyline.com
Whether you're a longtime Austin resident with fond memories of live music you've seen here or a fan of their barbecue, this venue offers a uniquely Lone Star feel. "We had an awesome experience, and it was a very Texas place to take the out-of-towners in our wedding party," says Jen Biundo, who, with husband Stephen Pipkin, held their rehearsal dinner here in 2013. "They made the booking process very easy and seamless. Planning the rehearsal dinner was one of the easiest parts of the wedding." Stubb's offers several venue options for your event, from the more modern and streamlined CB's, a lounge that overlooks the Waller Creek Amphitheater, to the down-home feel of the upstairs patio, where you're surrounded by Austin limestone.
Capacity: 30–2,200
Address: 801 Red River St.
Phone: 512.480.8341

Banger's Sausage House & Beer Garden
Cute, historic house converted to modern restaurant? Check. Ability to roast an entire pig for your event? Check. Mac 'n' cheese bar as a menu choice? Check. Banger's Sausage House & Beer Garden is nestled in a cozy block on Rainey Street, with a spacious back patio that can accommodate a tent for weather of any kind. The restaurant is known for its craft beer and sausage, and embraces the slow-food approach with gusto. "It was awesome—great outdoor space, music, food (with veggie and non-veggie options) and games," says Shelley Vinyard of Banger's, where she and husband Arvin Ganesan hosted their casual rehearsal dinner gathering in 2015.
Capacity: 100–822
Address: 79 & 81 Rainey St.
Phone: 512.386.1656
Website: bangersaustin.com
G'Raj Mahal
This eclectic downtown restaurant combines Southern hospitality and Western Indian cuisine, a blend that works surprisingly well. The restaurant's colorful, comfortable vibe invites you to relax on the back patio and take it all in—as the folks at G'Raj Mahal like to say, "Sit and namaste awhile." Colorful Indian fabrics mix with weathered Texas wood and metal at the converted house in the heart of the funky and walkable Rainey Street district. Locally sourced meat and vegetables make the menu extra-fresh, with favorites from samosas and curries to tandoor and masala.
Capacity: 100–150
Address: 73 Rainey St.
Phone: 512.480.2255
Website: grajmahalaustin.com
Alamo Drafthouse
A rehearsal dinner in a movie theater? Believe it—Alamo Drafthouse, an Austin-based theater chain that has mastered themed events that pair food and cinema, works with couples to create custom menus for their celebration. The cinema has pulled off everything from Princess Bride feasts (what could be better for a couple in "twu wuv"?) to zombie wedding parties. Confetti cannons and personalized photos and videos on the big screen are also options. Alamo has six theaters around the Austin area, and while each has its own unique vibe, they all boast a swanky atmosphere. Menu choices nod at movie theater classics, including popcorn and milkshakes. But the award-winning food goes beyond typical movie fare to include scratch-made entrées and salads, as well as handcrafted cocktails.
Capacity: Varies by location
Phone: 512.861.7084
Website: drafthouse.com
The Italian supper club concept gets a sleek update at Sophia's. Traditional Italian family recipes (not the Americanized version with entrées covered in red sauce) are served up in a luxe setting, with cozy tufted leather booths and plush velvet chairs. You can reserve the entire restaurant or a semi-private area.
Capacity: 115
Address: 500 W. Sixth St.
Phone: 512.580.9990
Website: sophiasaustin.com
Uncle Billy's Brewery & Smokehouse
Situated on Barton Springs Road's restaurant row, Uncle Billy's is close to downtown, but has a relaxed vibe that feels like small-town Texas. With 3,000 square feet of venue space inside and 3,500 square feet outside, it's got plenty of room for you and your guests to spread out. The brewpub also has full A/V packages and an elevated stage with sound system, in case your guests want to take pre-wedding toasts to the next level. Uncle Billy's provides customized menus with beer pairings, as well as custom-brewed firkins of beer for couples who really love their microbrews.
Capacity: 250
Address: 1530 Barton Springs Rd.
Phone: 512.476.0100
Website: unclebillys.com
Lucy's on the Lake
The folks behind Lucy's Fried Chicken took the popular concept out of the city and brought it lakeside with Lucy's on the Lake. Situated on the shores of Lake Travis, the venue offers three spaces for rehearsal dinners—an indoor party room, a covered outdoor pavilion (the party room and pavilion can be combined), and a private outdoor patio space. Couples can choose menus that include Southern favorites like fried green tomatoes, deviled eggs, mini Moon Pie bites and of course, fried chicken.
Capacity: 25–125
Address: 2900 Ranch Rd. 620 N.
Phone: 512.297.2771
Website: lucysfriedchicken.com/on-the-lake
Lake Austin Riverboats
If you want an outside-the-box rehearsal dinner that doesn't max out your budget, a riverboat is a great option. The Lake Austin Riverboats are hand-built, Southern-style stern-wheel vessels. The two boats—the Commodore and the smaller Commodore's Pup—both have a downstairs banquet facility (and heat and air conditioning, in case Austin's notoriously fickle weather proves uncooperative). Lake Austin Riverboats provides everything from a DJ or live music to linens, tables and bar service. They work with local restaurants including Austin favorites Hula Hut, Ruby's BBQ and Winston's Kitchen to cater rehearsal dinners.
Capacity: 250
Address: 3700 Lake Austin Blvd.
Phone: 512.345.5220
Website: austinriverboats.com
Umlauf Sculpture Garden
Imagine this: tables with crisp linens and fresh flowers en plein air, with manicured landscaping and art on view. Although it's in the center of Austin, the Umlauf Sculpture Garden is an intimate and tranquil setting for a rehearsal dinner. Home to permanent and traveling sculpture collections, the Umlauf spans 5 acres of beautifully cultivated gardens. Couples considering this venue will have to bring in their own vendors, including a caterer; the Umlauf provides a list of preferred vendors to help couples find the right fit.
Capacity: 20–250
Address: 605 Robert E. Lee Road
Phone: 512.445.5582
Website: umlaufsculpture.org
Cover 3
With a location in North Austin and another downtown, Cover 3 gives couples plenty of options. The original Anderson Lane location has a private dining room for a sit-down dinner that can accommodate up to 40 people, and the Sky Box lounge for a cocktail reception. At the downtown location, couples can choose between a private room that can be paired with a cocktail space for larger parties (up to 60 guests) or the patio for up to 68 guests. Both locations also offer the option of a restaurant buyout for larger parties. Cover 3 is known for its fresh, house-made American culinary creations, including steaks and freshly grilled fish.
Capacity: 20–80
Address: Anderson: 2700 W. Anderson Lane; Downtown: 1717 W. Sixth St.
Phone: Anderson Lane: 512.374.1121; Downtown: 512.982.1550
Website: cover-3.com
Fonda San Miguel
Tucked away in the North Loop neighborhood, this authentic Mexican restaurant serves fresh Mexican cuisine, from ceviche to rellenos (no Tex-Mex here). As delicious as it is, the food almost takes a back seat to the décor. From the moment you step through the ornate wooden doors in the hacienda-like setting, you'll be surrounded by color, from the gorgeous tile to the artwork gracing the restaurant. Fonda San Miguel has a private dining room that accommodates small groups.
Capacity: 30
Address: 2330 W. North Loop Blvd.
Phone: 512.459.4121
Website: fondasanmiguel.com
Olive & June
Although it's in the middle of a bustling Central Austin neighborhood, the courtyard of Olive & June, shaded by a sprawling oak tree, gives this restaurant the feel of an elegant and private escape. A third-floor event space is also shaded by that towering oak, and the interior is just as stylish, boasting a modern sensibility. For smaller parties, the indoor Chef's Table is a private room on the restaurant's first floor. Olive & June is known for its fresh southern Italian dishes, including locally sourced ingredients like Texas quail, lamb and goat cheese.
Capacity: 100–140
Address: 3411 Glenview Ave.
Phone: 512.467.9898
Website: oliveandjune-austin.com
Think Outside the Box
If a traditional sit-down dinner doesn't feel like the right fit, you can join in the growing trend and host an outside-the-box event. Couples are increasingly choosing to kick back and enjoy the moments leading up to their wedding in a more offbeat way.
Barbecue in the Park
Austin has myriad beautiful parks in a variety of settings. With some, you need only show up and claim tables. For others, you'll need to contact the Austin Parks & Recreation office of special events to reserve space. Think Mayfield Park with its roaming peacocks and lush gardens or the Zilker Clubhouse with its downtown views. With so many great barbecue joints in Austin, it will be easy to find the right one to cater.
Pizza Party
Whether your idea of the perfect slice is the thin-crust Homeslice or the gourmet pies at Bufalina, you can enjoy your favorite pizza in your own backyard or at the restaurant itself.
Game Night
Rent space in venues like the Goodnight, Highball or Pinballz and enjoy bowling, arcade games and classic favorites like skeeball for a fun night.

Schilling celebrates final radiation session with fantastic shirt
Former Red Sox pitcher and three-time World Series champion Curt Schilling revealed in February that he had been diagnosed with cancer.
The sobering news still hasn't dampened Schilling's spirits.
The 47-year-old finished his final round of radiation Tuesday, according to a tweet from his daughter Gabby, and celebrated the milestone by donning a fantastic t-shirt.
The clever shirt, which reads "I Finished Radiation, When Do I Get My Superpowers?" is a testament to Schilling's ability to stay light-hearted during his grueling recovery process.
Time to heal. Mentally and physically. Proud of you!! pic.twitter.com/GjqS4H6BYR

Sehgal denies that Jagat was his business partner
He, however, admitted to having received oil coupons for a million barrels from the Iraqi Govt.india Updated: May 23, 2006 17:44 IST
Hamadan Exports Director Andaleeb Sehgal on Tuesday denied before the Pathak panel that he had any business links with Jagat Singh, son of former External Affairs Minister Natwar Singh, and termed their relationship as personal in nature, Authority sources said.
Submitting that he had not accompanied the Indian delegation to Iraq in January 2001, Sehgal is understood to have told the Authority in an in-camera hearing that he was one of the over 500 Indian businessman prospecting in Iraq at the time and had incidentally met Jagat at a party thrown by the Indian Ambassador at the embassy in Iraq.
He, however, admitted to having received oil coupons for a million barrels from the Iraqi government but added that he had sold it to a foreign enterprise for a profit margin of Rs 80 lakh, Authority sources said. He claimed he had not moved oil for Natwar or the Congress Party.
Contrary to reports citing ED sources, Sehgal is understood to have told the body that he had received only Rs 18 lakh as his share in the business deal and had to pay a half of the profit margin to the Iraqi government.
Asked whether Natwar had recommended his name to the Iraqi government, Sehgal submitted that the coupons he received was part of the UN scheme and through its sole recommendation, sources said.

Designer Series 01: DIY vs Hiring Professionals Part 2
Emilie Kyle
Last week we discussed the benefits of hiring a professional to help you with your paint, lighting, furniture, home office, and bedroom design projects, noting along the way things you should keep in mind when going the DIY route. You can check it out here in case you missed it. This week's post delves into projects that can involve a bit more planning and construction work.
Kitchen remodels are no small feat, so kudos to DIY-ers brave enough to tackle them! Keep in mind that the process may take longer than if you were to hire a contractor to get things done, especially if you have a busy schedule. Some contractors will let you do all of the demolition to help save money. Forming a solid plan is important not only for success, but also because your cooking areas will be disrupted for some time. If it's your turn to host the family over the holidays, November probably isn't your best option for a remodel that could compromise access to kitchen appliances! For the DIY-ers, know that there may be drywall and light carpentry work, painting, tile, electrical & lighting, plumbing, appliance hook-up, and cabinet hanging work. Hiring a seasoned General Contractor is beneficial because they usually have a number of specialists on staff that can complete specific trades for each job. A contractor who can devise different options and troubleshoot complex obstacles is well worth his weight in gold, and an interior designer should always have one who fits the bill. An interior designer can help you space plan your kitchen and will work with you to select all of the finishes, fixtures, and equipment you'll need. Whichever way you decide to go, we're always here to help you, no matter the phase you're in!
A bathroom remodel is another example of a large project that you can do yourself or enlist a professional for help. For the most part, the above outline for kitchens tends to apply to bathrooms with a few exceptions, like how many bathrooms are tighter spaces to work in.
A lot of older homes weren't built with finished basements, so as families and space requirements increase, it's no wonder finishing the basement becomes a significant project. For the most part, these are pretty simple projects where flooring, drywall, electrical and paint are concerned. You can either do it yourself or hire a general contractor to take it on. If you're looking to create something with more personality or a space that is specific to a function (game room, wet bar), you'll want a plan at the start. There may be additional considerations with the mechanical system, mold, and overall damp areas. All of these potential issues will need to be mitigated before construction starts.
If you love where you live but simply need more space, a viable option is to expand your current dwelling. Although permitting requirements vary across jurisdictions, you'll want to hire an architect experienced in residential additions. An architect may take on the entire project, or they may pass off the interior portion to a designer. It's not unheard of to even work the other way. Sometimes a designer is brought in first and then an architect is hired to design the exterior structure based on the programming results with the interior designer. You'll also want to make sure you've got a good, Class A contractor to complete the build. At a minimum, they'll take care of the foundation, framing, siding, windows, mechanical, and roofing systems. Not only will they do a great job, they'll keep a safe construction site!
Need a more finished look to the jungle out back? If you're putting in a patio, you'll want to hire a landscape designer to make sure everything goes smoothly. DIY problems can arise upon the first shovel-dig! Landscape architects create spaces that combine natural beauty with function in such a way that your outdoor needs are met according to your desired aesthetic. They can help create steps going down a hill, add in water features (from fountains to pools), install benched seating, create beds full of plant life, and much more. Simple landscaped beds will take some planning and sweat, but the results can be very pleasing. You'll want to figure out what zone you're in to learn which plants work where and at what time of year they should be planted, transplanted, and pruned. It's a good idea to plant according to your maintenance preferences. If you want it planted and done, lower maintenance flora is the way to go. Alternatively, if you have high-maintenance gardens on a large property, hiring an expert to tend to your blooms is a great investment. Once your new landscaping is complete and you start spending more time outdoors, you may find you want to add more furnishings to your space. If you are comfortable selecting off-the rack outdoor furniture, that is the way to go. If you are looking for something high-end, customized, or specialized, you'll want to reach out to your designer for help.
We hope you've enjoyed the beginning of our Designer Series and that it's given you a little inspiration for creating that dream home you've always wanted. It's no secret that complex DIY projects can be a source of stress, so try to keep the end goal at the forefront of your mind. There's nothing like the satisfaction one feels upon successfully creating a beautiful space! If you find yourself in a tough spot, can't find the time to DIY, or lack the know-how, an interior designer is a wonderful asset when it comes to creating or transforming spaces in your home. Join us later this month when we give you tips on selecting an interior designer!

Your 2018-19 NBA Champions Will Be The Pacers...According to Indiana
Your 2018-19 NBA Champions Will Be The Pacers...According to Indiana
We all know how the saying goes.
"In 49 states it's just basketball, but this is Indiana."
Perhaps nothing exemplifies that saying more than this map that just dropped on Twitter yesterday.
INDI! ANA! @Grady pic.twitter.com/cWSND5gfLT
— 1070 The Fan (@1070thefan) December 28, 2018
That's right - Indiana is the one and only state to choose the Pacers to win this year's NBA title. Some would say it's blind loyalty, some would say we have a point. Afterall, the 'Cers currently hold the 3rd best record in the entire league and continue to fly under the radar.
Nothing wrong with that. That's how we roll. To me it also shows best why the relationship with Paul George was so sour among the fans, and the relationship with guys like Victor and even Myles Turner is so strong.
Indiana basketball fans don't mess around with that. They could smell George's willingness to leave Indiana behind like a shark smelling blood in the water - from miles away. And they didn't like it.
Who knows? Maybe come this June this gritty, hard-working, young, together team will be hosting a parade on Meridian Street, and we can look back at this map and say,
"What'd you expect? This is Indiana."

It also included conducting surveys and polling customers that have used many of these systems. Collectively, this research has enabled Wirefly to create the most accurate and up-to-date information available. To help consumers find the right alarm company for them, here is a comparison of the best home security systems.
Kremmling, CO residents have access to many security companies that offer various features. Each company offers something different, and the prices vary. The most important thing to keep in mind is that a customer must find a system that will suit his or her needs and preferences. One will need to consider equipment, installation cost, and monthly monitoring charges. Some home security companies will give a user a free system, which could normally costs around $230, but the customer must sign up for a monthly monitoring plan. For a plan, a customer might pay $15, but this could go up to $200, as it depends on what the customer chooses. Some security systems can be installed by the user, and some will need to be installed by a professional that could cost up to $200.
Wireless home security systems in Kremmling, CO have become a popular trend in recent years. A quick and painless installation process is one of the biggest advantages of choosing a wireless home security system. These systems do not require any drilling or running wires throughout the home. Each component of a wireless home security system communicates with the control panel wirelessly, allowing parts to be moved with ease. Systems that are completely wireless or those that have wireless features, can communicate over cellular signals. A wireless system can be a nightmare for burglars and home intruders because it cannot be disabled like a traditional system. There are no lines to cut or internet cables to sever.
Some home security systems in Kremmling, CO can be tailored to the specific needs of the homeowner. Of course, the best type of security system is the one that can be easily modified to ensure that the homeowner gets exactly what he or she needs.

Exterior cameras often come with night vision properties and are usually weatherproof. Wireless technology also allows these cameras to be accessed remotely. This can be done through the use of a smart device, where an application can be downloaded to monitor the homeowner's home using his or her smart device. Homeowners can get alerts when the motion-sensor cameras have been activated. The homeowner can access footage or watch the interior or exterior of the house whenever he or she wants.
Yes, homeowners can add additional smart features to their homes. There are many gadgets available that can make home life a little easier and safer. For example, door locks can now be automated.

Smart gadgets can be applied to your appliances, too. A heater or AC could be shut off or turned on without someone being home. This means that a homeowner can make sure his or her home is at an ideal temperature before anyone steps through the front door. The home automation system can alert a homeowner through his or her phone about more than just security breaches. The system can warn about a CO2 leak or water leak, just to name a few examples. Smart automation is the next logical, wise, and incredibly affordable step. Homeowners should take advantage of this opportunity.

South Lakes Safari Zoo take-over impresses inspectors
Improvements at a zoo criticised over animal welfare and safety have "impressed and highly encouraged" inspectors.
Their latest report said there had been a "change of culture" since South Lakes Safari Zoo was taken over in January by a company formed by staff.
Cumbria Zoo Company Ltd (CZCL) is applying for a licence after owner David Gill was refused one in February.
Inspectors have recommended Barrow Council approves CZCL's application.
Mr Gill has lodged an appeal against his licence refusal which means the attraction can stay open in the meantime.
In 2013, keeper Sarah McClay was mauled to death by a tiger and the zoo was subsequently fined £297,500 for health and safety breaches.
A council report in February revealed 486 animals had died there in four years and criticised Mr Gill's management style.
CZCL has since leased the zoo from Mr Gill and intends to run it independently from him, government appointed inspectors said.
The latest report praised the level of staff "engagement, dedication and enthusiasm and ambitious plans to move forward now that the owner [or] previous director is no longer involved".
The zoo in Dalton-in-Furness currently houses 1,500 animals including tigers, giraffes and rare birds.

The sun is finally out of hibernation and here to stay. As temperatures rise and layers shed, we can officially add some personality back into our wardrobes.
One of my favorite way to spruce up an outfit is to add a bag. Its a small detail that makes a big statement. A cross body for the day time, a back-pack for on-the-go, a beach bag in the summer heat... the options are endless. I'm sharing with you this season's most desirable bags that will take your summer wardrobe to the next level.
The Cross Body
The cross body can be worn from day to night. This summer I'm loving statement cross body bags to add color and charm to my wardrobe.
The Backpack
Every girl on-the-go needs a backpack; every girl not on-the-go needs a backpack, too. The trendy bag has taken over and can be worn with everything: jeans, dresses, slacks, you name it-it can be paired with these bags.
The Beach Bag
Cool off at the beach with one of these stylish bags. Carry your beach towel, magazine and SPF and look chic while doing so.
The Tote
The tote is your ideal everyday bag. Not only does it complete your outfit, it will hold anything and everything you need for the day.
The Belt Bag
Who said fanny packs had to stay in the 80's? The famous bag is back and better than ever. I love these two for the summer, they are perfect for an outdoor event or concert.
The Clutch
The clutch bag is timeless. They are the best accessory for a night out and to dress up your look.
Here's how I styled one of my favorite bags for the summer! This studded Rebecca Minkoff tote is a staple to my Mom-on-duty uniform.
What is your favorite bag this summer? I'd love to hear your thoughts. Send me a message or stop by the boutique!

I recently read the article on New Scientist's website about the "new" religion kopimism. As I personally hold this religious belief, it is interesting to see what curiosity arises as soon as it reaches global media's attention.
Kopimists and like-minded people have throughout the digital age given humanity a potentially infinite amount of free knowledge. It ranges from the first crackers at Bletchley Park, among whom Alan Turing is rumored to have been a kopimist, to today's file sharers and free culture activists as well as robots such as Cameron and omniHAL.
It all starts with the concept of a Turing test. The test is the initial requirement for a possible artificial intelligence that may transcend the human-computer barrier. The idea that a person is a result of the information it has processed. Later literature, philosophy and research have pondered the possibilities of uploading a human state of mind into a cybernetic space.
The above reasoning is what should come to mind for a learned kopimist when thinking about afterlife. Isak Gerson proclaims that as a religion we are not focused on humans – and afterlife is not a major part of the religious beliefs. This I agree to in the context of a "soul" as many religions tend to portray it. New Scientist's interviewer thought their idea on digital afterlife might be interesting. Neither of these account for the qualities of holyness of information.
I am certain that kopimism has the true answer to questions about afterlife. As all humans are biological computers with semi-volatile memory we must understand that if someone turn us off the information is likely to be erased. As a kopimist it is thus better (but not necessary) to copy the information rather than let it dissipate. What I refer to is the theory of a person machine copied in a specific state, which may then further be copied, remixed, kopimi. Afterlife is more of a backup than migration but not yet within technical reach.
Thus Kopimi opposes the traditional view of a person being transferred to afterlife and instead talks about forking – i.e. copying a certain state of development. While some call it afterlife – and some say transcendance or eternal life – kopimists only see it as copying of information. So there is no intrinsical value in the person machine being copied, only in the act of copying information. Nevertheless the future will provide technical solutions, which will result in even more information being available to copy – given that humanity does not arbitrarily censor its copying capabilities further.
Copy and share. Kopimi!

Galbraith, Mrs. George (Mary Ellen) 1855-1930
Posted By: Linda Ziemann, volunteer (email)
Date: 1/7/2018 at 20:28:29
Funeral services for Mrs. George Galbraith, who died last week Monday at San Antonio, Tex., were held at the old Galbraith home on east State street Sunday afternoon at 2:30, and the body was placed in the receiving vault at Riverview for burial in the spring. Mr. Galbraith, who has been seriously ill most of the winter, was unable to come to Algona for the funeral, and the body was accompanied by Arnie Peugnet, brother of Mrs. Galbraith.
Mrs. Galbraith was born November 5, 1855, at St. Catherine, Ontario, and came to Algona in 1867 with the William Cordingleys, with whom she made her home. When she was 21, she married to Mr. Galbraith.
Many years ago they built the home on east State street, which was then one of the show places of Algona, and they lived there till 20 years ago, when Mrs. Galbraith became troubled with asthma and had to go to Texas for her health.
The home was later sold to Mr. Galbraiths brother John, who lived there until his own death a few months ago. Because the house was the old home, it was George Galbraiths wish that services be held there.The house was crowded for the last rites.
Death was caused by asthma and complications.
Besides Mr. Peugnet, Mrs. Galbraith is survived by Mrs. S.E. McMahon, Algona, and Mrs. Grappotte, San Antonio, sisters. The Galbraiths had no children.
Mr. Galbraith is under a nurses care.

Finishing a basement often is the most cost-effective way to increase a home's living space—one of several reasons that the appeal of a finished basement has been on the rise in recent years. Here you can learn how to finish the entire basement project yourself or partially finish your basement with the help of subcontractors. Installing a personal gym in your basement is a great way to keep in shape from the privacy of your own home. Other excellent basement ideas include giving your kids their own corner with an indoor playhouse or swing, or creating your ultimate getaway with a daybed and bookshelves for reading, napping and relaxing. This greatly reduces the odds that a backed-up sewer line or septic system will flood the basement.
Call Pritchett Brothers Construction today at (877) 388-9080 to schedule an in-home consultation and estimate for your basement remodeling project. There's no better time to equip your basement for audio and video equipment than when you're building new or remodeling. Media centers, guest bedrooms, apartment-like suites, entertaining spaces, playrooms or laundry rooms are just a few of the popular ways people bring their finished basement ideas to life and transform the extra space into livable space. So you get limited head space and in case the height of your ceiling is already low, it may not be very viable to go for this type of ceiling. BasementThe comfortable furniture in the function of the basement will determine the need furniture. Now, this kind a ceiling involves a lot of labor and you may have to hire some equipment.
These first two steps are the basic you need to know before waterproofing basement in your home. Laminate is suitable for photo use.Laminate basement can withstand wear and tear such as lamination also provides warmth and has the same aesthetic appeal as the original timber. A dim basement is a real turnoff, so you'll need more fixtures than you've got elsewhere.
What to do: If water leaks into your basement through cracks in your foundation—or through another route—have this remedied months before your basement-finishing project begins. The options are endless, so consult a designer or builder to see what works for your basement remodel. Because of the highly personal nature of basement renovation projects, the typical return on investment is usually lower than other home remodeling projects. Home theater – The Owens Corning® Basement Finishing System features acoustic insulation which not only can improve the overall acoustics of the basement, but also absorbs sound as well.
This may be a small basement but it looked larger with the mirrored elements and the lighting. The more suitable basement flooring ideas for those who want to emphasize superb look, they have carpets, ceramic tiles, vinyls, laminates, and hardwoods to alternate.
