Experts set the record straight on some of the top weight-loss myths of the last 30 years
Full disclosure: I have experimented with most (though not all) of these popular weight-loss methods: from an all tuna plan in 7th (!) grade to the college era diet that allowed me to consume as many Snackwell cookies and Heinekens as my heart desired. Then there was the "caveman" diet I tried with my husband, a fan of the workout that espouses it. This left me craving white carbs so desperately I was ready to stuff a bagel into a baguette and call it a bagel/baguette sandwich. And eat it.
And yes, many of these diets worked (not counting the beer and cookies)… at first. The reason, say experts, is that any time you drastically change your eating habits—in any way—you're going to see results on the scale. The problem is sustainability. "If you can't envision sticking with a diet for the rest of your life, then it's not a good eating plan," says Janet Brill, R.D., Ph.D., a consultant in private practice and author of Cholesterol Down. We asked Brill and Nicolette Pace, R.D., CDE, about nine of the most popular dieting myths of the last 30 years—and why they're more hype than help.
Whether you're A, B, A/B, or O, the theory goes that depending on your blood type, you should adhere to one of four possible eating plans: low carb/high protein, low fat, vegetarian, or just an overall balanced diet. The reasoning is based on biochemistry and evolutionary theory and, according to both Pace and Brill, has no scientific proof whatsoever.
"Blood type has to do with receptors on red blood cells and doesn't dictate what you should or shouldn't eat," Brill says. If you match your diet to one of the blood type plans and lose weight, the reason is because of a sudden change to your diet or drop in calories, not because you're a universal donor.
If only this was actually true. Just cut out all carbs/sugar/fat (and eat as much as you want of everything else) and voila, the weight melts off. The problem, Brill says, is that when you cut out one nutrient entirely, you're likely to compensate with another. So if you eliminate all fat from your diet, there's a good chance you'll amp up the carbohydrates, and often the white processed variety. Or if you cut carbs, you may end up eating more fat. And while sugar doesn't have much nutritional value, vowing to let nothing sweet pass your lips is just a recipe for a binge.
"Good carbs and healthy fats are part of a balanced diet, and have loads of health benefits. It's absurd to sacrifice either, and it's not a realistic way to eat for life," Brill says.
Seventh grade, as everyone knows, is a social minefield of cliques, mean girls, and pre-adolescent insecurity—and in an effort to lose the extra three pounds I was carrying, I decided to eat plain tuna fish for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day until I could fit into a smaller pair of Gloria Vanderbilt jeans. That lasted through lunch.
Sub in any singular food and you have a weight-loss method that's ebbed and flowed in popularity over the years; for example, the all fruit diet and the notorious cabbage soup diet. There are myriad reasons this is a wrong-headed approach to weight loss, Pace says, but the main one is of course sustainability—forget keeping this up for life (imagine if, 31 years later, I was subsisting solely on canned tuna). Few can maintain this approach for longer than a day.
Gluten-free eating—cutting out all wheat-based products—is all the rage, and according to Brill and Pace, utterly pointless unless you have a diagnosed wheat sensitivity or celiac disease (an intolerance to gluten), and then it's more likely that you would have lost weight due to the unpleasant symptoms (like diarrhea) this condition can cause. If you notice any weight loss on a wheat-free diet, it's because you've probably cut back on starch—and by extension calories. The rest is hype.
I knew a guy—a skinny guy, oddly enough—back in my 20s who was a zealot about food combining, a popular diet method in the 80s and 90s. Though he had zero nutritional education, he was emphatic in his belief that your stomach releases a variety of enzymes, each responsible for digesting a particular nutrient. Eat certain foods together—protein and starches, for example—and apparently you'd wreck some sort of digestional havoc that keeps you from optimal weight and health.
According to Brill, this just isn't how digestion works. "Digestion begins in the mouth the minute you start chewing, as saliva begins to break down food," she explains. "Once it hits your stomach, acid is released that doesn't distinguish between nutrients but goes to work packing food into smaller and smaller particles so nutrients can be absorbed into the bloodstream and waste can make its way through your digestional tract." Plus, notes Pace, certain foods work in concert, boosting absorption of nutrients.
While the basics of diets like Paleo and the Warrior Diet before that are sound—eat only whole, unprocessed foods—the rules are often random and not something that a caveman or woman would have followed: you can eat sweet potatoes but not white, and butter but only if it's clarified. And besides, who is to say our cave-dwelling forbearers were healthier (no one probably lived past 30)? In fact, archeological findings show that humans evolved and our brains became larger when we started to cook and turn grains into food.
If you're of a certain age, or just obsessed with Oprah, you may remember the day she wheeled 60 pounds of fat onto the stage (to represent her 60-pound weight loss), wearing a pair of chic, high-waisted Calvin Klein jeans. Her secret? Months spent on an all-liquid diet known as Optifast, during which time not a single morsel of food passed her lips. Unfortunately she gained back every single ounce as soon as she started eating real food again. If you want to try a juice fast for a few days to jumpstart your diet, go ahead (though Brill recommends this only under medical supervision and notes that it's likely only water weight you've lost). Ultimately, your need to chew will always win out.
Add one specific nutrient to your diet—typically a healthy fat—and poof, goodbye belly fat! The problem, Brill says, is there's just not enough scientific proof to back this up. "Generally these types of diets are healthy, since they're often based on the Mediterranean diet, but there's no real proof that one single nutrient, however healthy, can actually target and reduce fat," she says.
Plus, there's still the matter of calorie control—you can't just load up on healthy fats and expect to lose weight. The issue really is about balance: getting enough of the right types of nutrients rather than favoring one over the other is what helps your body function properly.
If you are a grown adult, there is one reason that you should have baby food in your possession: you have a baby. OK, maybe if you just underwent a serious surgical procedure and can only stomach pureed food; otherwise eating like an infant doesn't provide adequate protein or flavor (Ever tried it? There's a reason babies are always spitting out the strained peas). And do you really want to go to work with a day's supply of Gerber in your purse to lose five pounds?

Dale Matthew, a grad student at York, sent me a case that raises an interesting issue for evidentialists. Here's the case:
It is the consensus of a scientific community that P. In coming to accept P they used all the available resources (theories, observation equipment, etc.) as best as they could. Further, in coming to accept P they were as epistemically responsible as they could be. In other words, they are blameless all around. But then a genius scientist, Insight, arrives on the scene, and through his sheer brilliance is able to discern that instead of P being true, -P is true. Further, Insight is able to discern that the basis on which the scientific community in question came to accept P made P unlikely to be true, highly improbable in fact. Insight relates his, well, insight to the scientific community and the community promptly recants its acceptance of P. Now was the community justified in accepting P before Insight arrived to save the day?
Notice that it is central to the case that the body of evidence is the same for Insight and the rest of the community; what's different is the assessment error made by the community and the correction by Insight. Since it's obvious that such cases can occur and that after being corrected by Insight, the community is no longer justified in accepting P, the evidentialist can't accept the description that the community was justified before hearing from Insight and also hold that justification is a function of total evidence.
I believe this is the issue that Dale hangs his argument on, though he can correct me if I'm wrong. He's hoping for responses from blog readers, and I'll hold off commenting on the issue here in the main post to allow the case and the issue to stand on their own.

Very excited to share some thoughts on a new book titled, The Synergist: How to Lead Your Team to Predictable Success by Les McKeown. I must say the book is a must for anyone involved or interested in organizational development and teamwork. Mr. McKeown articulates a reliable way for groups to form and perform as a team. As someone who thinks the word team is as worn out as the word leadership, it's refreshing to read a thought leader who truly understands what the word means in the real world.
I am biased in my fondness for this book because he described me, personally, in one of the chapters. It was rather haunting, but in a good way.
Mr. McKeown has a vast background in working the land of organizational development. He applies this in a way that is understandable and relevant, regardless of your position/role.
Here are some key take-aways I gained from the book:
- Effective teams are made up of 4 different types (the visionary, the operator, the processor, and the synergist) of people.
- Every group and team comes to the table with a natural bent. The bent is neither good or bad, it's the human being being who they are.
- Evey organization is aligned for the outcomes it experiences.
- There is a life cycle for every team and organization. I found it interesting how choices drive so much of this.
- Many groups find themselves in a ditch due to their inability to see each player as a unique contributor.
- The synergist role (the person who brings clarity in an unbiased manner) is a sort of lynch-pin in every high performing team. You'll understand more when you read the book.
- Mr. McKeown uses real-world examples to drive his premise.
This post is not long enough to give you all that the book delivers. But the book really is like guidebook. You owe it to yourself to check it out.

The king having granted his request on condition that he could bring the countess herself to consent to the match, the justiciary immediately sent the aforesaid Raymond in his knightly apparel to the countess, to endeavour to gain the affections of that lady. Rut when the said Raymond by soft speeches and great promises endeavoured to gain her consent, she with great anger replied, that she had lately received letters informing her that her husband was safe and well; she. also added that if her husband had indeed been dead, she would not on any account accept of him as a husband, because the nobility of her family prevented such a marriage. "Seek elsewhere," said she, "for a wife, because you will li rid by experience that you have come here to no purpose." Raymond on receiving this reply went away in confusion.

Google's new doodle celebrates 123rd anniversary of Yosemite
Google's new doodle celebrates 123 years of Yosemite National Forrest, even though it closed down with the US Government shutdown overnight
By: Charles Gantt | Internet & Websites News | Posted: Oct 1, 2013 2:58 pm
Comment | Email to a Friend | Font Size: AA
Anyone who knows me knows that I am a major fan of all things outdoors. From kayaking to camping, I stay pretty active in nature, and this week's Google doodle really makes me smile. Google decided to commemorate Yosemite National Park, one of our nation's national treasures, on its 123rd anniversary.
Unfortunately, if you are planning a visit to the park, you will find it closed upon arrival because as of last night the park was shut down along with a fair portion of the US Government. While I would imagine that the park rangers are sticking around to prevent looting and damage, all of the national parks ran by the federal government have been closed until Congress sorts a budget out.

Several weeks ago, the new Southern California Living section invited Los Angeles area nonprofit agencies to send in their Holiday Wish Lists. The response was tremendous.
Philanthropy is a part of SoCal Living, so it seemed only natural that we would publish the list, which started running in the paper on Tuesday and concludes on Friday. But as the requests poured in, we realized that if we were asking you to help the needy of our community, then shouldn't we also pitch in?
As a result, SoCal Living and The Times' Health section are teaming up to help a local health care agency for the homeless. We encourage you to step in and answer the call of the many agencies that wrote to us on behalf of their clients. Your assistance could be something as simple and low-cost as a box of diapers.
And if you have the time, please drop us a line or two if you gave or received. We'd love to hear how it went.
Thank you in advance, and happy holidays.

Maureen 'Mo' O'Donnell still finding the target for Termon
For the veteran of the Termon side, Maureen 'Mo' O'Donnell, getting to play in an All-Ireland final is a dream come true, writes Peter Campbell.
On Sunday she was ice cool when given the role of free-taker and she had a 100% record, seven from seven, which is a huge plus for the Termon girls.
Like the manager, Francie Friel, 'Mo' felt that the Donegal girls were just not going to lose on Sunday.
"In 2010 expectations were high. We were after winning Ulster. I think that year Donaghmoyne were All-Ireland champions. We had put the reigning champions out. We had high expectations with the huge home crowd. Just like today, I suppose for Clonberne.
"It didn't work out for us four years ago and we were very hurt because of that. I was thinking there are not many teams that get a second chance. It's very hard to get this far, to the last four in Ireland.
"We made an oath to ourselves in the dressing room that we weren't going to let it go this time. There was too much hurt before," said O'Donnell.
The former Donegal senior sharpshooter wasn't at all surprised that Termon put in such a high level of performance on Sunday.
"That's just the way it is with our team. We are not just a team, we are a family. We stayed in the hotel in Tuam and we had all our supporters there. It was like Termon away from home.
"It's a kind of positive thing. We nearly prefer to play away from home. Our home game four years ago was our last home game. We nearly preferred to come down here. We had great support, you could definitely hear them.
"It's funny playing in an All-Ireland semi-final. We enjoyed the occasion but we didn't think we were in a game of such high standard. We just treated it like another game, and that was the way it was.
"From Laura Gallagher right up to Geraldine McLaughlin, the team were magnificent. Geraldine does all the hard work winning frees and I just tap them over. That is the easy part," she said.
As for the performance of Geraldine McLaughlin, 'Mo' was lavish in her praise: "What can you say. She is unmarkable. Every game she goes out, there are three or four players on her. Once she gets her hands on the ball, that's it. She turns and she goes. It's very hard to stop her without fouling her. It's either a foul or a goal.
"She is used to players around her, hanging around her neck and fouling her. Players are usually sinbinned," said Maureen, who was as surprised as all the Termon followers that it was not until the 66th minute before Clonberne had a player sinbinned.
"It's not that we were looking for a sin bin because sometimes when a team goes down to 14 players, it can change the game dramatically," said Mo.
O'Donnell is glad that she has kept playing after threatening to end her playing days on a number of occasions.
"I said this year that I was hanging up the boots, but someone said Mo, you said that three years ago."
Now on Sunday week, she gets to play in an All-Ireland senior club final - the pinnacle of a very successful career.

July 10, 2016 was a day of celebration for contact lens users. Alcon, one of the country's leaders in eye care, held an event in Robinsons Manila Activity Center to welcome its newest ambassadors for Air Optix Colors and FreshLook Colorblends: Kathryn Bernardo and Julia Montes.
Entitled as #ColorYourMood, the event ushered proper awareness in the use of contact lenses. This was perfect for a frequent contact lens user like me because it gave me a refresher on the do's and don'ts in handling my contact lens.
The event had welcoming booths that catered guests if they wanted to try out the different products of Air Optix Colors and FreshLook Color Blends. The products were also generously displayed at the #ColorYourMood event.
Okay, I didn't specifically go to the event for the free food (haha), but hey, free food is one of the best perks when attending events.
I had to try out these awesome cupcakes!
Fluffed also had a cute and colorful booth during the event. This Cotton Candy Connoisseur has amazing flavors like Maple Bacon (personal favorite) and Salted Caramel! Do check them out on Facebook and Instagram @fluffedph
I was really impressed by the number of fans of Kathryn Bernardo and Julia Montes! Old and young alike, they were all waiting patiently (actually, they were wildly cheering most of the time, lol) for their idols to come up on stage.
check out lola and her squad
The event was gracefully hosted by celebrity actor and model, Alex Diaz. He hosted and sang during the event— talk about multitasking!
Before the main event, models strutted the stage as they showcased the different contact lenses of Air Optix and FreshLook.
The place was filled with the screams of the fans as Kathryn and Julia entered the stage. They had a sit down talk with premier eye consultants of the Philippines to educate everyone about the proper use of contact lenses. The sit down included replacing the contact lenses frequently, using the correct lens solutions, and visiting our eye care professionals for check-ups.
I've had my old contact lens for awhile now so having new ones, courtesy of Air Optic Colors and FreshLook, were a real treat. I've been using it a week already and I have to say, the contact lenses are extremely comfortable!
The lenses of Air Optix Colors and FreshLook Colorblends are made with a unique surface technology that gives consistent comfort throughout the wearing period. The lenses also have a 3-in-1 color technology that blends well with one's eye color, creating a beautiful and natural appearance-- you can breeze through the day without any contact lens hassle! As a very busy person, I juggle my tasks excellently and its all thanks to my new contact lenses!
Ever since I started using the contact lens of FreshLook Colorblends and Air Optix Colors, I never had the trouble of irritation or blurriness. It's your best bet when you want to have contact lenses of the best comfort and design.
#ColorYourMood today by visiting your local eye professionals to try out Air Optix Colors or FreshLook Colorblends' awesome contact lenses!
For more information, follow @AiroptixPH and @airoptixph on Facebook and on Instagram.

Businesswoman Victoria Hall is still living the dream one year on from opening her boutique gym in Halifax.
She opened VH Fitness in December 2015 after taking voluntary redundancy from her previous job at Lloyds Bank and was helped in her endeavour by a New Business Boost Grant from Calderdale Council.
The gym is based on Charles Street on the former site of Blockbuster Video.
VH Fitness is the only gym in Halifax to offer crèche facilities for the busier morning classes, and there is also a sling swing class where participants can hold their baby in a sling while they work out.
Victoria, who was born in Hipperholme and lives in Greetland, said: "My dream continues to be about educating people to make changes for life.
"By educating young people I hope future generations will be better prepared.
"Exercise and nutrition isn't just about weight – it's about health, it's about sleeping better, it's about better posture, more confidence, better moods.
"We have karate sessions in our studio, a group from Park Lane School training in the gym and we sponsor the under 12s football team Yorkshire Juniors.
"We have just shy of 300 members covering a wide demographic, with all age groups from 14 through to 76, all abilities and both male and female members and from all walks of life."
Alison Farrell, studio manager, said: "I've worked in the fitness industry for over 23 years and been part of all the teams at all the gyms in Calderdale, probably twice over!
"I was excited and anxious when Victoria offered me the opportunity to join her team a year ago.
"But Victoria's passion about fitness, nutrition and educating people made me say yes.
"We have amazing members and everyone knows everyone. We welcome new members all the time and before long they know everyone too."

On the eve of the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in Berlin, the Stuttgart-based automaker presented its all-new CLC coupe, which provides customers a new and compelling entry-level model for the Mercedes-Benz coupe family. "Because of its expressive styling, premium equipment, and state-of-the-art technology, the all-new CLC especially meets the needs of young people looking for a dynamic car," says Dr. Klaus Maier, Executive Vice President for Sales and Marketing at Mercedes-Benz Cars. "That's why I'm convinced that the CLC will enable us to continue to win over many new customers for Mercedes-Benz." The new sports coupe will be launched on the European market in June 2008.
A sports coupe with high potential for winning customers
The CLC is the successor of the C-Class sports coupe, which has been sold to approximately 320,000 customers from around the world since 2001. The majority of these customers were first-time Mercedes-Benz customers. The sports coupe was one of the many successful models of the Mercedes-Benz product initiative, boasting a very high conversion rate of about 70 percent. In addition, the two-door vehicle succeeded in keeping customers loyal to the Mercedes-Benz brand, and over 40 percent of the buyers subsequently purchased an even larger model.
New CLC features many all-new or improved components
The CLC delivers the high standards for safety, comfort, environmental compatibility, and functionality that are a hallmark of Mercedes-Benz. The engineers at Mercedes-Benz have developed many new or improved components for the CLC. The technical highlights include an all-new direct steering system for even greater agility when cornering, state-of-the-art infotainment systems with a color display, a Europe-wide DVD or hard disc navigation and media interface, and a powerful four-cylinder engine that now delivers 135 kW/184 hp.
Sporty styling highlights new Mercedes-Benz design idiom
The CLC's sporty appearance clearly sets it apart, as the vehicle's front and rear were completely redesigned in accordance with the modern Mercedes-Benz design idiom. The CLC's interior boasts sport seats with improved lateral support, a three-spoke multifunctional steering wheel, an automatic climate control system, and brushed aluminum trim elements. Mercedes-Benz has also put together a special sports package for customers with particularly sporty tastes. The package includes 18-inch light-alloy wheels, wide-base tires, headlights with black inner surrounds, sports suspension with lowered body, a leather sports steering wheel, and dark brushed aluminum trim elements.
Engines: Fuel consumption slashed by up to 10.8 percent
Mercedes-Benz will offer the all-new CLC with a choice of four four-cylinder and two six-cylinder engines, featuring power outputs ranging from 90 kW/122 hp to 200 kW/272 hp. The 135 kW/184 hp power plant in the CLC 200 KOMPRESSOR now develops an extra 15 kW/20 hp while consuming just 7.8 to 8.2 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers (NEDC). This is up to 0.7 liters less than in the previous model. With its advanced turbodiesel engines, the CLC belongs to the category of five-liter cars in terms of consumption. In the NEDC, the CLC 200 CDI consumes only 5.8 to 6.1 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers, or up to 10.8 percent less than the outgoing model. As a result, the CDI models can cover more than 1,000 kilometers on a single tank (62 liters) of fuel.

See The Sea Horse On My Table?Reviewing: Unknown Sea Horse Note Clipper | Rating:
I received this office table display item as a gift last year from a good officemate. I was new at that time and she was my counterpart in the other department as I do my job at work.
It was a small seahorse-shaped clip attached to a small spring then planted to a tiny green pot (I could remember playing Super Mario Bros. whenever I see this pot!). Its main purpose is to hold small notes that my officemates can leave whenever I am away from my work area.
Though it rarely happens that people leave me notes (most of the time I am in front of my computer working), what I do is print a small nameplate for my self and clip it with my seahorse clipper.
Also, this is a good stress reliever for me every time I find my self on the brink of a deadline. I just tap on one side of the seahorse and it dangles back and forth. Then I start smiling.
This is one small table item I won't take off my work area.

"Examples are few of people ruined by giving." Christian Bovee (Christian Author)
Dear IBCB Family and Friends:
It's been an exciting year at IBC Berlin. We have seen many new things that God has done. We have received many new members from the Iranian community. Our teenage ministry has begun to blossom. We've started a "Kids Own Worship" with plans to strengthen our Kids Ministry. Our missions partnerships are reaching people through three new church plants. We're working hard to get a new "IBC" started in Berlin — New Hope International. God is at work in and through International Baptist Church Berlin!
It encourages me to see God at work, but I'd like draw your attention to a fact: this year's giving has been behind budget by about 10%. As a result, we've had to be careful about our expenditures for this 4th quarter. What's more, since IBCB is committed to sound financial management, next year's budget is being governed by this year's giving.
We have high hopes for the future and would love to see our current ministry grow, but giving must increase for us to pursue our God-given goals including deepening our fellowship and multiplying worship services. These goals depend upon your generosity … bringing your tithes and giving your offerings. Whether you are a long-time member or a recent addition to our church family, we value your investment in God's Kingdom purpose through IBCB.
Prayerfully consider giving generously as you make your year-end contributions. Help us reach our EBF Missions Partnership Goal of 8500€ by contributing your "missions" designated fund. Help us catch up on our giving as you catch up on bringing your tithes and giving your offerings to our general fund. To see how you can contribute to IBCB, please, follow this link.
Scripture reminds us: "Each of you must bring a gift in proportion to the way the LORD your God has blessed you." (Deut 16:17) Reflect on the ways that God has blessed you during 2017 and let your generosity be an expression of your gratitude and thanks to God.
Thank you for being a part of what God is doing through our church family. May God continue to bless you and to bless us so that we may be a blessing to God and to others.
Your Pastor,
Scott Corwin

A lucky day for injured Jana
Here another example from our archives how Camouflage and Martin Luther Hospital are helping.
Jana was still a baby when she came too close to an open fire in her parents house in Chrask in the Ukraine.
She burnt her face and hands horribly. Thanks to the generosity of the readers of Berlin newspaper Berliner Morgenpost 11.000 Euro could be raised to help the girl, which was ten when she finally had the chance to get the marks from her unfortunate accident removed. And thanks to Dr. Dr. Johannes Bruck MD, head of plastic surgery at Martin Luther Hospital, and his team who operated Jana for free as well as to charity organization Camouflage, which helped too.
When Jana came to Dr. Bruck her right hand was just a mere stump and she could not close her mouth and her right eye. "The operation went really well", Dr. Bruck, a founding member of Camouflage, says. Now she can close the eye and her mouth again and the stump has a small finger now. Enough to fix a clamp to it so that Jana can use it to grab and hold things.
Additionally René Koch, a prominent Berlin makeup-artist and head of the executive board of Camouflage, showed Jana how to conceal the operation scars.
Camouflage is an organization which helps people with skins defects, burn scars and children with severe burns. It not only helps to find support for operations it also shows people how to conceal marks with the help of makeup-skills.
You will find an article about Jana from Berliner Morgenpost along with a photo on the Website of Camouflage.

A Travel World Passport we always tell you how good it is to get lost. But now we've finally found one trick how to always find the way back when you want to. It's as effective as the mythical Ariadne's thread, that will help you find the way back when lost in a modern labyrinth of metropolis, charming narrow streets of Tuscany or any other place on earth that your smartphone works at. It's an app and it's called accordingly TeleportMe.
The concept of being lost when traveling is a great idea we solemnly support. It helps you discover the world on your own, get you to places that are so often amazing yet overshadowed by popular landmarks flooded with crowds of tourists. It's true that the best way to discover is to get off the beaten track. It's simply good to get lost. After getting lost however there comes a time we want to get back to a hotel we stay at, train station our train departs from or restaurant we want to meet our friends for dinner.
There are a lot of navigation apps, with Google Maps being one of the most often used ones, but TeleportMe works slightly different and may I say it suits the purpose of getting lost perfectly. It's a simple location sharing and discovery app. TeleportMe enables you to absurdly easily reach the chosen locations by just following the arrow. What you need to do is just mark where you start your "getting lost adventure", share with others if you wish and when you need to get back the app will guide you. The good thing is that you don't need to concentrate that much, as the app guides with an arrow – it's so simple it could be dubbed "navigation for dummies" app.
With the app features you can navigate easily in a pedestrian mode and find the nearby places places & venues from Foursquare. You can also easily share the location with friends using SMS, email, Facebook and Twitter. Unlike Latitude and many other services, TeleportMe does not run in the background and does not share your location with a third party. You use it when you want it.
The app is great when you want to get lost but eventually want to find the way back. It'a a great tool to meet with your friends at one place or you just can't remember where the awesome cafe you passed on the way is located. Use TeleportMe and take the stress off the getting lost concept.
You may want to explore further our getting lost concept with the post on avoiding crowds and the one that lists the benefits of staying of the beaten track.

In principle, I fully agree, though in practice, I prefer solutions that facilitate and encourage what is percieved as optimal without mandating or forcing what is percieved as optimal, because needs/understanding change and needs/opinions vary. Thus, you can create an 'hrn:' that is, according to the UUID specification, guarunteed to be globally and temporally unique (presuming a valid implementation) while still adding mnemonic components to it if desired. E.g. hrn://-/f81d4fae-7dec-11d0-a765-00a0c91e6bf6 or hrn://-/f81d4fae-7dec-11d0-a765-00a0c91e6bf6/Chapter1 One can also, as per 'tag:', anchor one's 'hrn:' temporally by date, e.g. hrn://abc.com/2002/FinancialReport/Introduction or at higher resolution hrn://abc.com/2002/01/22/FinancialReport/Introduction Or one can use other means to denote temporal ordering, such as version numbering, e.g. hrn://abc.com/InductionGuide-v2.7 Or one can use proprietary components that ensure temporal uniqueness, such as managed sequences of identifiers, e.g. hrn://abc.com/abcid_881819923819/Chapter1 Or one can simply trust that the name is so significant within the context of the minting authority that it will never be reused, and thus ambiguity will never arise, e.g. hrn://firstname.lastname@example.com/resume In short, it's up to the minting authority to decide just how strict or loose the requirements are for temporal and/or global uniqueness -- with each of the options having more or less overhead to use (granted, some discussion regarding global and temporal uniqueness and how to best achieve that would likely be a good addition to the final 'hrn:' RFC, and I've made a note of that). A generalized URN scheme must provide the utility and flexibility needed to accomodate common naming practices while still providing for the needs of most or all users, including absolute temporal and global uniqueness if so desired/needed. With regards to temporal anchoring, 'tag:' seems to me to be too "mothering" and not general enough. And as has been pointed out, does not provide a form that garuntees against accidental collision within the same authority (e.g. UUID). Thus, 'hrn:' is both more general and more precise than 'tag:'. If absolute temporal and global uniqueness is paramount, there are other URN schemes that can be used, and agencies that will ensure that uniqueness for all instances of such schemes no matter what, but for a price (e.g. DOI, ISBN, etc.). >>> By the way, tag: is in the RFC editor's queue. It's also somewhere in the >>> urn nid registration process. >> >> I'd like to know just "what's the deal" with these dual URN namespace >> / URI scheme registrations. ... > > ... By the way, we > view the one namespace as a simple embedding of the other, so tag:x and > urn:tag:x are the same _identifiers_ (I didn't refer to bindings), for all x. It's nice that *you* view them as the same, but how are applications (or humans) to know that they are the same? I think that the IETF should *heavily* discourage, if not disallow dual registration of equivalent URI and URN NID schemes.

Yay I'm making some good progress on my album now :)
The background for this page was actually a white piece of cardstock which I had lying in a cardboard box while spraying (misting) some other items. I picked it up to throw it away one day but really loved what I saw and decided to cut down a piece to use for my Christmas album. That I just happened to have used shades of red and green mists was just perfect too :)
The page describes what has now become a tradition since a few years back for us. To buy Ravensburger's 1000 pieces limited edition Christmas jigsaw every year. Something that we really enjoy! We don't really do jigsaws for the rest of the year, so to sit down with this while paying some Christmas music in December is just really special and cosy. *smile*

It has been a very long four months since my last post here. Health conditions, as well as my physical location, pretty much dictated when (and for how long) I could remain on a computer. For almost a month I was flat on my back after having fallen backwards from a stepladder onto the concrete floor of my garage. Nothing got completely broken, but I was out of it for a while. For the most part, I was unable to sit up. This makes working a keyboard – even a laptop – very difficult. I did a lot of reading during that time.
As they say on airplanes, I "can now move about the cabin". I walk with a definite bias to port (that's right for non-nautical types) but I can walk now, which is a good thing. For quite some while, any rear view you had of me appeared to be a large map of Africa with the entire continent colored purple; shading to deep red and orange as you near the Sahara. There is also a sharp, red spike running north from the coast of Libya, across the Mediterranean and touching Greece.
But enough about that. My mental powers were working hard while I was laid up and I've jotted down quite a few new idea for posts. You're going to have to bear with me, however, before I can sit down longer than 30-seconds without my back hurting. I have a wireless keyboard, which is great, but it doesn't help much when the monitor is sitting almost ten feet away from my easy chair. I haven't a chance of reading it from that distance.
At any rate, I do promise to get back into the swing of things and begin posting again.

//Future Projects
Stampede Park
CMLC has entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Calgary Exhibition and Stampede to explore opportunities related to rejuvenating the Rivers District by accelerating delivery of the Calgary Stampede Master Plan. A strategic alliance between Calgary Stampede (CS) and CMLC will more broadly help the Rivers District reach its potential for community development and CRL capture. Specific to the CS Master Plan, CMLC will provide business strategy and planning support in the following areas:
- Entertainment Zone • Extend 17th Avenue into Stampede Park and redevelop Stampede Trail as a commercial and retail spine
- Exhibition Zone • Expand BMO Centre's convention, trade and consumer show space, associated hotel(s) and ancillary developments
- Heritage Zone • Improve Stampede Park along the banks of the Elbow River, possibly including the incorporation of the RiverWalk path by CMLC
- Transit Oriented Development (TOD) sites • Redevelop lands adjacent to the Erlton/Stampede LRT Station and those commonly known as the Ramsay Exchange site into high-density development that includes multi-family residential, commercial and retail
Victoria Park
In 2016, CMLC will begin working with stakeholders in an urban planning and envisioning process aimed at consolidating upwards of 20 urban plans, master plans and Area Redevelopment Plans that exist for Victoria Park, CMLC is endeavouring to create one holistic plan for this Rivers District neighbourhood. A comprehensive vision will guide our investment into future infrastructure projects that will unlock land values, stimulate development and realize the area's placemaking potential.
Within the context of a holistic plan, CMLC and business stakeholders have identified the need for better connectivity within the area, which necessitates a thorough understanding of the impacts of transportation planning related to the Green Line program. Equally important to the stakeholder group is an analysis of future market demand for retail, commercial and multi-family development in the area.
Cultural district: olympic plaza
Downtown Calgary's Olympic Plaza resides within the boundaries of the Rivers District, whose redevelopment and revitalization falls within CMLC's purview. As such, we will assist the City of Calgary in advancing its Civic District Public Realm Strategy – a comprehensive strategy aimed at improving the public spaces around City Hall, Olympic Plaza and the New Central Library – by reimagining Olympic Plaza.
In 2016, CMLC will work with City of Calgary to review feasibility studies and project plans; we will support public engagement initiatives in order to prepare for project delivery. We will establish a Steering Committee for the project and obtain approvals of a Project Management Plan, Procurement Plan and Project Agreement.
Cultural district: arts commons
Calgary's Arts Commons is one of Canada's largest and most vibrant arts centres. Located in the heart of Calgary's Cultural District in the downtown core, the centre occupies a full city block and is home to five theatres and the world-class Jack Singer Concert Hall.
For 2016, CMLC has committed to helping Arts Commons reimagine their gathering space for the arts community. Our engagement may lead to a revised master-plan vision and will consider the future plans for Olympic Plaza and the balance of the block.

Scroll down for "extras"!
Through an inviting point-of-view and colorful, vivid illustrations, this story shows how two boys living oceans apart can be the best of friends.
Henry Holt and Co. / Christy Ottaviano Books, September 2011
Please consider purchasing my books from your local, independent booksellers! Check out my event schedule. My books will be for sale at these wonderful bookstores and libraries. :)
When I was little, my dad traveled the world. I remember him telling me that people are the same everywhere and that people are good-hearted. He inspired me to travel the world, too, and I have learned the same beautiful lesson. In Southeast Asia, I learned this popular saying when comparing different cultures,
"Same, same. But different!"
This book was inspired by my travels in India and Thailand, my dad, and my little friends/students at Sunshine School in Bhaktapur, Nepal. I did a project with my Nepali students where they shared different parts of their culture and daily lives with my friends in the U.S. We went for walks in their village and drew temples, musicians, potters, and farmers. They drew their parents at home in their traditional dress, and they drew their mud houses, wells and animals. They drew themselves and they drew each other and had so much fun! These, along with a few bulging sketchbooks of mine over several trips, have been great research+inspiration for this book.

Construction-related work recently began on an ambitious subway project that's remarkable for its high cost and short length. The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency's Central Subway line will cost $1.6 billion and extend just 1.7 miles across The City. Construction is complicated and expensive, in part because it must pass beneath Muni and BART tunnels that run along Market Street.
Initial construction, which began in February at Fourth Street beneath Interstate 80, involves removing sewer, water and electrical lines from beneath streets and placing them under footpaths.
The subway will run beneath Fourth Street south of Market Street and under Stockton Street north of Market Street.
While it will take less than 10 minutes to travel the length of the line, it runs beneath some of San Francisco's most heavily congested streets and could speed up commute times and reduce dependence on cars.
The scale of the construction project will deliver economic and work force benefits for San Francisco, according to Supervisor David Chiu, whose district includes the affected northeast corner of The City.
"I'm extremely supportive," Chiu said.
A gas station and a mixed-use building are planned to be acquired and demolished to make way for the project. The Barneys department store at Stockton and O'Farrell streets will have to close its basement shopping section, which is in the path of the subway.
The northbound T-Third Street Muni line, which extends from the Sunnydale neighborhood to downtown, currently travels from Fourth and King streets along the South Beach waterfront and then hooks southwest underground at Market Street.
But the T-line will be realigned when the subway opens. It will travel north from the Fourth and King streets station along Fourth Street and dip below the surface after picking up passengers at a Brannan Street station.
Stations are planned at Fourth and Brannan streets, next to the Moscone Center, at Union Square and on the southern edge of Chinatown.
Only the station at Fourth and Brannan streets will be aboveground.
"The northeast part of San Francisco is the densest, most crowded part of The City," said Gabriel Metcalf, executive director of the San Francisco Planning and Urban Research Association. "Paradoxically, it's the part of The City that doesn't have a subway."

Enhanced Visibility Safety Vests
Enhanced visibility safety vests are those that require a minimum level of visibility. They are sometimes considered Class 1 safety vests, and are best suited for those who will be working in conditions that are generally further away from moving traffic and where traffic will not exceed speeds of 25 MPH. These kinds of safety vests are ideal for people who work in warehouses, as parking lot attendants, maintenance workers, and event volunteers. They are also used when working in low light conditions where it's not required but the extra visibility is beneficial. These garments are not ANSI compliant as they do not meet the applicable safety requirements.

Fancy & Sweet Boutique Review and Giveaway
Fact #2: I love to have trendy, cute clothes that not everyone else already has.

Re: Cost break down of any system for less than $400, including organic options
This is great! I'm pregnant with our first and was really overwhelmed when I first started looking at diapers, especially since our budget is tight. Here's what I ended up getting:
6 packs of Osocozy birdseye flats from amazon (36 total flats)- $59.70
7 one size wool covers from MamaBear Babywear on ebay @ $18 each (2 thick, 5 medium, all no closure) - $126
Snappis, pack of five - $11.95
Wipes: made from old flannel and towels with holes I had sitting around.
Total so far - 197.65
I still need a diaper pail and some pins, maybe some more snappis, but basically I'll have everything I *need* for under $250.
There are still a few things I want, however, like I would love a couple one-size AIO diapers for outings and such, so I don't have to deal with flats while running errands. If my MIL doesn't get this, we'll end up buying them. I also want to buy some fleece to try my hand at some newborn fleece soakers, so by the time I'm actually done, I'll likely be around $350.
Thanks for posting this! I'm sure it'll be a big help to people trying to CD for the first time on a budget- I know I saw some things I'd wished I'd known about when I first started looking.

Cricket South Africa (CSA) and the South African Cricketers' Association (SACA) are yet to reach an agreement on their Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), which expires at the end of April. Failure to reach common ground by then will leave most of South Africa's international and franchise cricketers - apart from those on two-year deals - out of contract, a situation which has left SACA "extremely concerned," according to their CEO Tony Irish.
ESPNcricinfo understands discussions have not been entered into in earnest, though SACA has prepared its position and will ask for status quo to remain. SACA is hopeful the terms of the MoU will stay the same as they have been for the last four years, which includes a revenue-sharing model for the players that CSA executives had initially indicated they would move away from.
In December last year, acting CEO Thabang Moroe and president Chris Nenzani had said the model would be up for review, but by March, they recommitted to revenue-share. At the March briefing, Nenzani also said CSA was "ready to commence negotiations" with SACA in advance of the MoU expiring. However, there are now only nine working days until April 30 - April 27 is a public holiday in South Africa - and fears that the parties are running out of time are mounting.
One source told ESPNcricinfo that unless an agreement is reached by this Friday, April 20, the chances of completing the negotiations before the MoU expires are slim. CSA appears to agree with the timeline, but could not put a firm date on when the new MoU will be concluded. "If we can possibly seal the MoU in a week, then we will strive for such but that all depends on the negotiations," Moroe told ESPNcricinfo.
The SACA negotiations are not the only thing taking up Moroe's time. CSA has been trying to finalise an FTP schedule for 2019 to 2023 and the board is yet to confirm all their fixtures with other member countries; but most pressingly, a decision on whether the Global T20, South Africa's proposed franchise T20 tournament, will go ahead is also pending. CSA initially had a deadline of March 31 to make a call but now aims to make an announcement by the end of May.
"The board gave the management the support of a committee, to which the management would report," Moroe said. "The feedback given to the committee has encouraged them to allow the management to continue with the negotiations and the planning of the league."
Key questions include whether the tournament will be privately owned - and whether the existing franchise owners will continue to be involved - how many teams will be included in the league, and whether CSA can secure a broadcaster and sufficient sponsorship to make the event financially viable.
Last year, in the absence of a broadcast and sponsorship deal, CSA postponed the inaugural edition of the competition after forecasting losses of USD 25 million, and Moroe indicated they could wait another year, if needed.
"If the need to postpone to next year arises, all parties involved will communicate as such and further questions can be asked," he said.

"Teaching medicine has undergone huge changes. You can't just read a chapter from a book. As teachers we need to bring the students closer to patients so they learn about dealing with people. Medical students need to see real patients and conduct real medical interviews."
Jim Matheson
Juliana Grace Szakacs was just out of graduate school and working as a social worker with the Ute, a tribe of Native Americans in Northeast Utah, when she saw a mother suffering from epilepsy forced to give up her child because of a lack of healthcare in the community. It was a defining moment for Szakacs.
"How could this happen?" she recalls thinking. "With more doctors here, we could prevent this." Determined to serve those in need and to teach, she change careers to study clinical chemistry, enter medical school and become a physician.
After a rewarding career in family medicine, she then switched to pathology and is currently Medical Director of Pathology for Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates in Boston. She is also an acclaimed teacher whose career highlights include teaching at medical schools in Florida, New Hampshire, Utah, and now Massachusetts.
Nominated as a Local Legend by Jim Matheson (D-UT-2), Szakacs served as Professor of Pathology at the University of Utah, receiving numerous scholastic honors for her teaching and marvelous praise from a former student, who wrote of her, "She is an amazing instructor of medicine. She stretches and invigorates the minds of her students, and is a mentor and example to many students. She is so inspiring that when you are around her, you have a desire to learn and study so that you can be elevated to her level of knowledge."
Says Rep. Matheson, "Juliana Szakacs' continuous accomplishments in Clinical Chemistry and Pathology are truly representative of a woman who has committed her life to medicine."
Szakacs' awards include the Resident Teacher Award of the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine (1987), the Most Outstanding Pre-Clinical Professor (1993 and 1994), and the Association of Clinical Scientists-Diploma of Honor (2003).
"I love teaching," she declares. "Every once in a while I'll receive a letter out of the blue from a former student, somebody I tried to help-maybe somebody not at the top of the class, but somebody who went on to be a caring, compassionate physician. And that's a great feeling to know you helped along the way."
Szakacs is also a dedicated community volunteer. During her years in Utah, she assisted the Salt Lake City High Schools and volunteered in many high school work study programs. While in Florida, she served as volunteer healthcare provider at local clinics.
At the University of Utah School of Medicine, she served as Chair of the 122nd annual meeting of the Association of Clinical Scientists, and was Director of the Women in Medicine program and liaison to the Association of American Medical Colleges. She also served as Faculty Advisor for the American Medical Women's Association, and as moderator for the Veteran's Administration and the University of Utah's ARUP Laboratories Hematology and Coagulation training programs.
A widely published author of many articles, abstracts, book reviews and presentations, she has served as an editorial board member for the Annals of Clinical & Laboratory Science.

Back in July, we went on vacation to the north-woods of Minnesota and Wisconsin. It was quite the road-trip, consisting of a total of 20 hours on the road. We stopped to let Preschooler go potty only 239 times. I think she's the only person who can truly appreciate, nay enjoy, a truck stop bathroom. Even better, there were no real breakdowns thanks to these little gems:
Yes, the portable DVD player saved our vacation, or at least allowed us to drive hours at a time in relative peace and quiet. Well, maybe not quiet, but definitely peace. I know, REALLY? A TV? The words "spoiled," "privileged," and "lazy" come to mind.
Before Husband and I were parents, we used to vocalize loudly on what consisted of appropriate parenting. We were parenting snobs; parenting armchair quarterbacks. But after our kids were born, our parenting standards shattered, one by one.
"We'll NEVER use a portable DVD player in the car. Our children will entertain themselves, just like we did as children."
Ahem. Actually these little beauties will allow you to keep your sanity in between diaper changes, potty stops, mealtimes, snack times, and nap times. When you're driving for a whole day, your sanity takes precedent over anything else.
"McDonald's will ONLY be a very special treat, save for the road-trips to Grandma and Grandpa's house. Our kids will NEVER eat processed food. There's nothing wrong with fruits and vegetables. Also, we'll make all our own baby-food. And, we'll never frequent restaurants with children's menus. The kids will eat whatever we eat with gusto."
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! You're so cute.
You see, there will be times where even the notion of cooking is impossible. You may be holding a screaming baby for 22 hours in one day. You may have a Toddler clinging to your pants leg starting at 4:30 or so, and lasting for the next 3 hours. You may be simply exhausted, having stayed up with an infant all night, or negotiating a peace treaty between your offspring all day. On these days, even if your fast-food suppers occur twice a week or more, they will be a blessing, a blessing from the Lord above. Amen.
"Our kids will only play with wooden toys. Plastic, noisy toys are the work of Satan himself."
Ok. Plastic toys ARE forged by the devil's minions, but seeing as you already caved in with the DVD player and the junk food, you ought not worry about this.
In for a penny, in for a pound, right?
P.S. Stay tuned for more vacation stories..... probably.

Merrill Lake was formed when lava flows from Mt. St. Helens blocked the stream valley. In the early 1930's the lake was planted with Eastern Brook Trout, Rainbow Trout and Yelowstone Cutthroat. Brown Trout were introduced in 1987 and have proved to be very successful.
This fly-fishing, catch-and-release-only lake is located north of Cougar near Mount St. Helens. It is open to fishing year-round, but action is usually slow and often inaccessible during the winter months due to snow. Merrill contains Coastal Cutthroat, Brown Trout to several pounds and some Rainbow Trout.
The lake was stocked in 2018 with catchable Rainbow Trout.

4 Cool Air-Dried Styles to Give Your Overworked Hair a Break
From experience, I've learned how damaging heat-styling can be for my precious strands. I spent months trying to fix my weak, over-processed hair. Since then, I've vowed to give air-drying a fair shot. No longer will I wake up each morning to a blowdryer and curling iron, but, rather, to a more simple wash-and-go styling session. But, it's not that simple. Everyone has different hair texture to contend with and various styling products that work best for them.
So, what to do? I reached out to a few top-notch celebrity hairstylists to guide my in my air-drying journey. Each one called out different textures and the styles and products that yield the best results. Keep reading and you're already on your way to healthier (and easier!) hair.
Short, wavy bob
"Think Faye Dunaway in Chinatown, Garren, R+Co co-founder and celebrity hairstylist," says. "Start by shampooing with Analog Cleansing Foam Conditioner ($29) to control the curl. Add Twister Curl Primer ($25) throughout, from your roots to your ends to prep the hair and eliminate frizz. Mix it up with your hands and move it through your hair, then, take a wide tooth comb and create a side part. Comb through the hair and let it sit until it's completely dry. Then, use a large tooth comb to comb through your hair again to get fluidity and softness. At that point, if you want more volume (depending on your natural texture), add a shine and texture spray throughout your hair once it's totally dry.
Soft Beach Waves
"If you have shoulder or collarbone-length hair, you're going to love this one," Garren mused. "Shampoo with R+Co's Atlantis Moisturizing Shampoo ($28) and Conditioner ($28) if your hair is thick, or Dallas Thickening Shampoo ($24) and Conditioner ($25) for fine, thinner hair. Spray in some wave spray throughout, and, using a large-tooth comb, create either a severe center part or low side part. Tuck the hair behind your ears and let it dry completely, scrunching hair with your hands to get volume. For more shine and texture—after your hair is fully dry—flip your head over and loosely spray a texturizing spray for more volume and separation.
Wash and Go Curls
For natural curly texture, you'll need to wash it much less, Lupita Nyong'o's long-time hairstylist, Vernon François, explains. When you do cleanse, "Use Pure-Fro Shampoo ($30) and Conditioner ($33). Once you're out of the shower, apply Aveda's Brilliant Anti-Humectant Pomade ($25). "Leave it to dry naturally, François recommends, "and then do a quick, cool blast with your hairdryer to maximize volume and your natural curl pattern." If you're unsure about your personal curl pattern, François created a visual guide to help choose the best products for your hair.
Long and Sleek
For long, sleek hair, Garren says, "start with Oblivion Clarifying Shampoo ($24) and Oblivion Restorative Gel Conditioner ($25). Apply a strong-hold gel from your roots to the nape area, but leave the ends alone. Then, spritz a shine spray on your ends ends while your hair is still wet. Comb your hair quickly, creating either a center part or a side part, and tightly behind your ears—following the shape of your head so that it's really sleek. Then, let your hair dry loosely. You have the option of low ponytail or messy bun, or even leaving it loose so that it floats over your shoulders. Tip: Secure your hair behind your ears with a duck clip while it's drying so that it doesn't move all over the place. Don't touch the crisp hair, only the ends. The whole trick is that the hair is gelled and you're mixing two textures—soft ends and sleek roots.
For more tips and tricks, see our official guide to air-drying your hair (and how to get it right every time).

seo is the afterthought. why don't they notice that putting it at the beginning before they start has a lot of advantages. it's because it's not done. or hasn't been done before. marketing just isn't that used to knowing so much about its audience.
old-school editorial processing is meant to be the answer. but why not test everything? find out what people respond to. distill your business plan down to a few terms and then find out if that is what people want on the net. use the ov tool. try google adwords campaigns. and then structure a site around this and start to build. don't build and then think they'll come 'cause you'll have to fight for them. find them first and build around them. wrap them up in the experience. they'll tell others. you'll be in a space that few others have reached. yet.

My clients have described me as a creative problem solver, an expert negotiator, accessible, honest and trustworthy. My peers would probably add tough (but fair) negotiator, consistent top producer, and respected. These are more than words, they are the result of more than fifteen years of hammering out the best deals for my clients using principle-based negotiating skills and a keen sense of customer service. I love real estate, especially the part of helping my clients achieve their goals.
I am a firm believer in always learning so that my clients benefit from the latest information and technology. As such, I earned the Accredited Buyer's Representative (ABR), Luxury Home Marketing Specialist – Million Dollar Guild, Certified Relocation Specialist, and Certified Skilled Negotiator designations. Over the years, I have been a top producer within my company, even being named the number one agent. Since starting my real estate career, I have assisted more than 300 clients achieve their goals. While the awards and accolades are nice, my most important goal of exceeding my client's expectations is earned every day and one at a time.
I specialize in Atlanta's historic neighborhoods such as Ansley Park, Brookhaven, Buckhead, Candler Park, Decatur, Inman Park, Midtown, Morningside, Old 4th Ward, Piedmont Heights, Upper Westside and Virginia-Highland. However, I grew up in Dunwoody and enjoy supporting the northern perimeter area with expertise in Dunwoody, Marietta, Sandy Springs and Smyrna and Vinings.
On a personal note, I am in a twenty-five-year relationship, and we are both so thankful that our two Airedale Terriers allow us to live with them! I earned a Bachelor of Arts – Fine Arts with a major in drawing and painting and a minor in graphic design from Millersville University in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. This background allows me to help my clients, and potential buyers of my listings, not only what is, but also what could be with any property…and is the basis for an avid interest in collecting art. Other interests include enjoying great food and fine wines, working out (currently a recovering tennis addict), and centering myself through yoga.
