For many decades, photographer Jerry Siegel has documented the land and lives of Alabama's historic "black belt." Today, in a collaboration between The Bitter Southerner and ArtsATL.com, we present this photo essay from Siegel's recently published "Black Belt Color." Concurrently, ArtsATL is running an in-depth interview with Siegel by Stephanie Dowda. Siegel's photographs remind us vividly how Southerners see our region differently and more fully than folks from away.
Photographs by Jerry Siegel | Captions by Laura Relyea and Stephanie Dowda | Introduction by Chuck Reece
Photographer Jerry Siegel was born in Selma, Alabama, in 1958. Selma, of course, is known as the site of "Bloody Sunday," March 7, 1965. On that day, John Lewis and other civil-rights activists from the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference led a group of about 600 marchers across the Edmund Pettus Bridge, intending to march all the way to the capitol in Montgomery. Alabama state troopers and local police met the marchers on the bridge, beating them with clubs, spraying them with tear gas, leaving more than 50 people hospitalized.
And that day, for better or worse, supplies the images that spring to mind for people all around the world who hear the name of Siegel's hometown.
But the South, as our readers know well, is a complex place — as are the communities within it. And for his entire career, Siegel has photographed his hometown and the geography it anchors — Alabama's "black belt," named such not for its large African-American population, as many people mistakenly believe, but for the richness of its soil.
The Georgia Museum of Art has just published a retrospective of Siegel's work called "Black Belt Color." The book is an indelible reminder that the greatest photography of the South has usually come from native Southerners, who see our region as it is, and not through the lens of stereotypes.
It is also a document of the region's complexity. As Siegel himself says, "This isn't a definitive view of the 'black belt' region. This is a very, very tight focus — images of what I respond to based on how I grew up. Every picture tells a story . . . but it never tells the whole story." — Chuck Reece

"I tried to find things that were iconic, things that were landmarks for me," says Siegel. In this image, which is the cover image for his book, Siegel captures a pivotal moment of a homecoming game at Morgan Football stadium.

"Some of my favorite images have that sense of calmness or quietness; that's why I like the gray days."

"It's where my father was born and raised, my grandfather was born and raised and his father was born and raised. I grew up in Dallas County and most of the work has been made in that same county."

"I started using the panoramas of some of the buildings and scenes around the area that were familiar to me. Then, I decided to take it a step further, thinking about places that were important to me growing up."

After the release of his first collection, Facing the South, a collection of portraits, Siegel is often categorized as a portrait photographer, though he doesn't necessarily feel that classification is accurate. "I'd say I'm a documentary photographer," he says. Still, Siegel has an undeniable knack for capturing inherent truth inside his subjects.

After working for years in large and medium format film cameras, Siegel has made the transition to digital photography out of necessity. "The cost of processing film is too much," he says. But this transition to modern technology comes at a cost. "There's a depth and sense of focus that large format film cameras give, it's not something digital can do."

Siegel's work showcases his aptitude and sensitivity to light and color, with gold and blue weighing heavily in his color palettes.

One of Siegel's strengths is finding off-the-beaten-path spots and subjects to portray in his work. "Lately, I go into little stores and shops to talk to people and photograph," he says. "I'm really pushing myself to engage."

Though he's photographed all over the world, Siegel remains bewitched by the heart of "the black belt," a crescent-shaped region in central Alabama where the topsoil is rich and fertile.

Costa Mesa has gone softer than a kitten wearing cashmere.
Last weekend, Councilman Eric Bever reported at a press conference that he felt intimated after a "chilling" encounter with Costa Mesa police officers.
From the Pilot's headline — "Bever alleges police intimidation" — I imagined the councilman being slammed into a wall of a dark alley by rogue cops who wedge a billy club under his neck and warn in menacing tones, "Listen, pal. Stop supporting that Righeimer for council or you'll find yourself swimming with the fishes. Capeche?"
My scenario was a little off.
Bever's spine-tingling run-in with the police happened as he and Chris Eric were putting up campaign signs near West 17th Street and Superior Avenue for council candidate Jim Righeimer, who has vowed to trim police pay and pensions if elected.
The intimidation began, according to Bever and Eric, when a squad car drove by three times, the officers apparently displeased with the posting of signs.

The aura of heartbreak
Was just beginning to wear off
When his eyes met mine
And lulled my senses.
My staggering emotions took the center stage
But he embodied such gentleness
And groped his way through
My quirks took the better part of me
But he turned a blind eye
And wrapped me in his huge arms
As we slow danced
Moving to the rhythm of the music
And living for the moment
His sotto voce lingered in my ears leaving a lasting impression
He listened to my shaky uttrances and reveled in them
As a connossieur of my deeds, his fondness clouded his judgement
My fastidious nature gave way to vulnerability when his fingers touched mine
Not in my wildest imaginations would I have ever envisaged such ardour.
If this is a dream I refuse to wake up because my reality is no way synonymous to this.

Put the milk, 1 tablespoon of the sugar, the cloves, cardamom, star anise, cinnamon stick and ginger into a saucepan and place over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, and then turn the heat to low and let simmer for 10 minutes to infuse the milk with the spices. Keep warm.
Put 1/2 cup water and the remaining 1/2 cup sugar into a small saucepan and bring to a boil until the sugar is dissolved and turns to a clear syrup, about 3 minutes. Cool slightly.
Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. When it begins to foam, dip the bread slices into the syrup and then fry them in the butter until they become golden brown, about 2 minutes on each side. Pour some hot spiced milk into shallow bowls and then gently add a slice of the toasted bread. Serve with slices of fresh apricots or peaches.

Pace stepped up on IT security
Finance directors came to terms with the fact that they would have to bear some of the brunt of managing IT security risk a long time ago.
Protecting financial information and managing processes to block external attacks against corporate networks is essentially the work of IT experts, but FDs often find that risk management brings them into contact with keeping tabs on the controls and processes of IT quite frequently.

Read: Psalm 7
Key verse:"He who digs a hole and scoops it out falls into the pit he has made." - Psalm 7:15
The measure you use against other people will be used against you. Have you ever tried to undermine someone? What were the results? How many times has someone tried to slander you only to have it backfire against them? In conflict, you honor God when you take the high road. Don't stoop down and match the shady tactics of your opposition.
When people gossip, don't slander. When people spread lies, walk in the truth. When people steal from you, don't hold on to bitterness. When people persecute you, continue living for Jesus. When people try to close doors of opportunity, keep looking to God for the next promotion. When people don't keep their word, maintain your integrity. The rewards will come from God, and He is accumulating treasures in heaven for you.

Posted in Press Releases on 18 December 2013
Tears For Fears have begun writing and recording new original songs for their next studio album, their first in ten years, to be released in 2014. After recently surprising fans with their new recordings of Arcade Fire's "Ready to Start" and Hot Chip's "And I Was A Boy From School," Tears For Fears have just debuted a new cover of Animal Collective's "My Girls," complete with a new animated video created by Vinyl Williams.
Tears For Fears' Curt Smith and Roland Orzabal have approached the recordings as a way to show "some reciprocal cross-generational love" for the artists and bands who have been inspired by, and recorded covers of, Tears For Fears songs. Lorde's new cover of Tears For Fears' "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" for 'Hunger Games: Catching Fire' made headlines when it was announced last month, and Matthew Dear (featuring Tegan and Sara) has just released a new recording of one of Tears For Fears' first singles, "Pale Shelter."
"The idea was before we actually had any material, before we got together, that we might try and do a couple of cover versions to sort of kick-start the recording process again," Orzabal told Rolling Stone in a recent interview. Fans and critics alike have enthusiastically welcomed the band's first new studio releases since 2004's Everybody Loves a Happy Ending.
Along with the recent recordings, the band has embarked on a broad catalog retrospective campaign. The first release is the new 30th anniversary edition of their acclaimed debut album, 1983's The Hurting. The influential synth-pop record was digitally remastered and expanded with live sessions, B-sides and remixes for worldwide release last month in 3CD/DVD boxed set, 2CD, and digital packages.
Having sold over 30 million albums worldwide and a career that has spanned three decades, Tears For Fears stands out as one of the most successful singer, songwriter and producer duos of the modern era.

Freelance Photography: How to Start
What is the first thing you would like to photograph when you think of photography? Many people will answer that question differently because each one has a unique story to tell or things that they believe are pleasing to their own eyes. But, what if you could take your hobby of photography and make it into a pleasing trip around the world for someone that does not even have to leave there living room. It's a hobby to many that can become quite expensive if you let it but, with the memories and photographs you take it can become a lifetime of memories.
Everyone loves to have their memories captured at just the right moment. If you're a parent you remember going out to grab that camera as soon as you saw your child's first smile or first step. Or you always seem to carry your camera everywhere to sporting events to the park when you go on that nature hike. People keep an eye out for that perfect photograph that they will keep in the heart forever no matter what they are taking a photograph of.
1. What is Freelance Photography?
What if you could take that love of looking through that small lens and make it into a career. Too actually get paid for taking photographs of things that you love. It gives you a new sense of freedom to work for yourself selling photographs or series of photographs of different objects, people or celebrations. Being your own boss takes time dedication and enthusiasm through the ups and downs but worth it while you are doing something you love.
2. How to Build a Portfolio
To start as a freelance photographer you need something called a portfolio. It is basically a collection of your best work. Each one is labeled and identified on location, time, camera settings, and other essential information about the photograph. Even if you have never had photographs publicly published or displayed you can add your best work out there for the world to see using many types of modern communication devices. Getting your work in front of people is important and the best way is to customize your portfolio with your best work.
3. How to Get Jobs
As i have stated previously first step is your portfolio and getting it in front of people. When it comes down to the technicalities of it, it is going to be the quality of your work that will get you the paying jobs you are looking for. Some people have a very natural talent for taking photographs while others have to work at it but it is a skill that can be learned with the right education. There are schools that are dedicated to the art of photographs and the beauty in which the photographer sees through there lens.
If you are interested in getting involved with photography look into taking some classes in your area that will help show some of the secrets of the camera lens. Another good way to find that epic moment is to look at what is already out there. Find out what people think is fantastic or wonderful and study the dynamics of it. It provides you a basis to learn what people are looking for as well as the essentials of lighting background and other advanced options for clicking at just the right moment.
Whether you are doing this as a full time occupation or on the side there is nothing you can do but take hundreds of thousands of photographs. Then create a portfolio of your best and start submitting them to contest and magazines online. There is no instant success in anything and just like a real job you have to work to create perfection. So don't expect the first few times to get anything but keep at it keep trying and those syndicates will come back. You will eventually get there with patience and practice.

Call for papers
Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) is a development process that extensively uses models and automatic model transformations to handle complex software developments. Many software artefacts, tools, environments and modelling languages have to be developed to make MDE a reality. Consequently, there is a crucial need for effective V&V techniques in this new context. Furthermore, the novelty of this development paradigm gives rise to questions concerning its impacts on traditional V&V techniques, and how they can leverage this new approach. The objective of this workshop is to offer a forum for researchers and practitioners who are developing new approaches to V&V in the context of MDE. Major questions that cross-cut V&V and MDE include: Is the result of a transformation really what the user intended? Is the model correct with respect to the expected security, time, and structural constraints? What models can be used for validation or for verification? Does the implementation, generated after several model transformations, conform to the initial requirements? In order to discuss these problems, we would like to invite submissions related to the following topics:
Call for papers in pdf.
Submitted papers must not exceed 10 pages in the LNCS format. Each paper will be reviewed by three reviewers. The papers will be published in the workshop's proceedings with an ISBN number. Moreover, the two best papers will be published in the LNCS Satellite Event Proceedings of the MoDELS conference.

As sea levels rise, beaches are the first things to go as waters engulf the lowest-lying land. But a recent study by Andrew Cooper, Professor of Coastal Studies, indicates that beaches naturally adapt to survive rising oceans – the real problem is that human development limits the ability of beaches to expand.
Professor Cooper, who teaches at the University of Ulster School of Environmental Studies in Coleraine, shows that a rise of just a few feet in sea levels could threaten some of the most iconic beaches in the world, such as Cannes, France and Virginia Beach, Virginia in the US, which would vanish under the rising seas.
However, the problem isn't that the water will engulf the beaches, but that humans have hemmed the beaches in with buildings and infrastructure. This means that beaches can't adjust to changes in water levels, something that they have always been able to do before. Essentially, the problem is that human developments simply don't allow the beaches to move when the need to.
Professor Cooper recently published a study, completed along Australia's Gold Coast, which indicates how coastal resorts might adapt in order to allow the beaches to move inland without sacrificing the use of the area. With planning, he claims that sea levels could rise over 3-feet without impacting the beaches that humans love so much.

Article Comments
Aack! It's the millennium baby! Oh sorry, it's just you, Doc. There is a striking resemblance there. Were you ever abducted by aliens? Congratulations, Doc! You're art has made me laugh, made me uncomfortable, occasionally confused me AND made me think. You certainly deserve this award! Diane
I really don't care about your pictures... as I think bragging about 50 in a month..only speaks of the quality... what I find disgusting is that there are so many talented artists here... that really deserve this..but now it is just a joke and don't think anyone would want their name associated with it... thank God Renderosity isn't the only Digital Art board on the web...:)
50 in a month? I guess I don't have to ask about your "day job"..heh, heh. (Even if I didn't have my other "real" world concerns, truthfully, I could not put out 50 a month.) Okay...that said...I know there is a "more" to your plan. Care to share it? Now, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for kicking all the "wall-eyed vicki's in expensive temples" out of the hot 20. Next, I would like to cuss you to hell for taking all the spaces in the 20 that the vickis don't have anymore. Geeze...I will never make it. Perhaps, I will pull out my zbrush and give that gallery a shot. Last, but, definitely most important....I could not find a link for the armadillo. AND SINCE YOU PLAYED A ROLE IN THE DEMISE OF C&D, AS WELL.... could you please send it/her/him to me?
Well congrats I guess...I must say I had really hoped this honor would go to someone who had worked a little harder for it and showed more apparent talent though(Giana, LisaB, racin-jason, any of them I would have applauded genuinely as they really do have genuine talent)...but I guess I must keep in mind the point of Ironbear's article this week, if an artists intent is communicated effectively then technically it is art and since most of yours so clearly make us want to ventilate you with spears I can only assume that was your intent so I guess it is art after all. BTW, I do like Mr. Fluffers but I really DON"T like some of the things you have done with him and I do think your technique could improve(as could mine I guess I should add, although that is always my goal with my work). Melissa Ng
Congrats Legume, not only have you managed to undermine the artistic merits of the many talented artists of this site you've also managed to make a complete mockery of the entire site. Bravo. If only I had your wisdom oh wise one, I could have saved myself the cost of a wacom.
Dr. Legume has been an inspiration to me, and has made me wonder what Ed "Big Daddy" Roth would have done in the 3D world. Legume has succeeded against all odds, and despite the admonitions of the King of Prussia that if he can't stand the mustard to stay out of the ketchup.
God damn...it's amazing. You can even state it to them, yet they still don't get it. The more you people make a big stink over things like the MPP and so on, the more it will carry on. Every hear of "No such thing as bad publicity!"? The simple matter is, if you don't like it, don't view it.....and go away! Congratulations Legume! I don't always find your art to my liking (mostly I do though :)), but I'll support your right to create it, post it, and become AOM. Dragontales PS - To Jan-Michael -- AOM is not always about those that create the best art, but it IS for those who make the most IMPACT with their art. I'd say Legume made a crater here on renderosity!!
Congrats Legume... least it wasn't an artist that puts nothing but naked babes with swords and crap. That to me is disgusting, and your images are refreshing from the same T&A that pollutes these galleries day, and day out. Thanks for giving us a good laugh and lightening our spirits in these dark times. Three Cheers! HIP HIP HORAY! I'd do more by my head is pounding thanks to a sinus migrane. LONG LIVE LEGUME!
Your head is somehow smaller than I imagined. I've hated some of your pictures and I've enjoyed others but regardless of the trolls, you do deserve the award. You've challenged many of us to actually think about some of the things we see daily. In this day and age that is a feat worthy of an award. Congrats.
Congratulations Legume. I once asked my art teacher what is art.?..what makes a true artist.? He said making people think,react,get mad,laugh. making something they would remember...if they saw it after a couple of years and think " oh yeah thats him/her. I think you`ve accomplished all the above and more. So with that said anyone who denies that your work is art is far from being an artist him of herself. I hope your going to be here for years to come. Anne-marie
LOL to funny LOL Well Legume you was right about one thing. for every rude comment someone makes you get 2 more votes for artist of the month just to spite us. you must be proud to earn artist of the month out of spite only. I would type more but I think Jan-Michael said it very well. So enjoy your spite award :-)
Legume, you and your followers sorrowfully misunderstand the case against you. It is not a matter of what this community considers art, and what isn't. It is not a matter of weather your work is art or not. Anyone can scribble on a piece of paper and call it art, and no one can build a case against it simply because art is subjective. You have a right to create artwork and post it here, and no one has the right to tell you that your work isn't "Real Art". -However- What people here have against you is the fact that you are being considered Artist of the Month for this entire community - an award which you are obviously not qualified to hold when your work is compared to the work of the hundreds of other more deserving artists here. Artists who work hard to MODEL, TEXTURE, LIGHT, and Animate their images meticulously to create their vision of art. Artists who go against the naked-chick-in-a-castle trends, and barely get recognition for their HARD WORK. Artists which deserve their recognition, but are instead pushed aside by the recognition your lax attitude towards your own work receives. You seem to be an intelligent person, and I think that you honestly know deep down that there are others more deserving of this award than you. And all of you members that have supported him, also know deep down that there are more deserving artists here as well. As to why you have received so much praise, I can only begin to fathom, but then again, your quote said it best Legume; You know how stupid the average person is?... Artist of the Month has now officially lost all meaning it had once had. It is no longer something to strive for, but something to point and laugh at on your way to the galleries. AHS
Your art is somewhat funny, but the quality is very poor and doesn't show much artistic ability on your part. I'm sure the next artist of the month will be a retarded, blind chimp that draws squiggles with a red crayon. This is the way Renderosity is heading, so I wouldn't be surprised if this happens.

Many in Austin have been taking part in the "Culture of Good" social media campaign that's going on during South by Southwest. The movement involves doing good deeds for others and sharing it on social media with #CultureOfGood.
Ryan McCarty started the movement back in 2013. He has been touring the nation in a bus, starting in Idaho and finishing in Austin.
"The idea that I could take and teach for-profit companies how to operate their business with the soul of a non-profit because that was my experience," McCarty said. "We wanted to create a movement around that."
McCarty mentioned some of the actions to take with the hashtag can range anywhere from leaving a post-it note on someone's car with kind words or paying for a stranger's Fasten ride. He also said working with SXSW is in line with his type of culture change he hopes to see.
"South By Southwest is a perfect example of what we can collectively get people together that care about the world and mobilize them, not just motivate them to do good but mobilize people to do good," McCarty said.
For every SXSW good deed photo that is shared using the hashtag, 100 backpacks full of school supplies will be donated to children across the country.
To learn more about how you can get involved with this movement, you can visit cultureofgood.com.

When an action becomes something of the norm, it's always healthy to revise or in some cases; go back to basic's.
You'll find teacher's attending additional training courses, although qualified and sportsmen and women reviewing their latest game.
A great example is when Tiger Wood's changed his swing even after winning the Master's, in search of self improvement, something the Japanese call Kaizen.
So when you think you are doing something great, remember that there's always a chance you could be doing it even better! Revision also help's you to realise unintentional mistake's/habit's that you may have picked up on the way so you can nip them in the bud as soon as possible.
This bring's me to the topic of Hijab. In recent year's it has become more common for women to wear hijab as a fashion statement, which is the wrong intention. Or severe cases where women remove the hijab as an act of feminism. The last is very confusing because if she understood the correct definition of feminism, they would be an advocate of Hijab. Worse still is when people take part's of the Quran out of context in arguement against hijab e.g. "Allah is beautiful and Allah loves beauty" is a line i've heard for women to force themselves to believe that they can remove hijab or beautify themselves with hijab on, going against the command's of Allah SWT. Deep down i'm sure these women know that their arguement is in fact invalid, it's a clear sign of weak iman.
Here are a few thing's to remember:
Intention - before leaving the house alway's ask yourself who you are dressing for. Are you dressing to please your creator, or to please the created? Are you using the clothes Allah SWT blessed you with to worship him correctly?
You may feel great because you are wearing the latest trendy blouse, but if it's see-through, there will be no barakah or reward in it. A fellow Muslimah once said "if you cannot pray in your outfit then you should not be leaving the house in it." which i find so true!
{QURAN 24:31} ~ Tell the believing men to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts, etc.). That is purer for them. Verily, Allâh is All-Aware of what they do.
{QURAN 24:31} ~ And tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts, etc.) and not to show off their adornment except only that which is apparent (like palms of hands or one eye or both eyes for necessity to see the way, or outer dress like veil, gloves, head-cover, apron, etc.), and to draw their veils all over Juyubihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks and bosoms, etc.) and not to reveal their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husband's fathers, their sons, their husband's sons, their brothers or their brother's sons, or their sister's sons, or their (Muslim) women (i.e. their sisters in Islâm), or the (female) slaves whom their right hands possess, or old male servants who lack vigour, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex. And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And all of you beg Allâh to forgive you all, O believers, that you may be successful.
Hijab is obligatory for all Muslim's: FACT. Did you notice that Men were told before women? Even though there is more focus on women's hijab than men's hijab these day's.
Interesting, isn't it?
NOTE: the feet are not exempt from this requirement. If you are wearing a shoe where the foot is on show (ballet flats, sandal's etc) remember to wear opaque socks/tights. Ladies, please also remember that that part of your arm from your elbow to your wrist is part of your awrah too, let's keep it covered up! Modesty sleeves are great for Muslim women who wear short sleeves or have wide abaya sleeves, because if we are going to do it, let's do it right inshallah, to gain the most reward's.
Niqab is optional and entirely up to the woman if she chooses to wear it, the above refer's to the part's of the awrah that are obligatory to cover.
We have all seen the Muslimah Fashion Faux Pas of women in hijab out in public wearing the most tightest jeans in the world which leaves very little to the imagination. It isn't pretty, and if the public can guess what dress size you are, it pretty much voids the whole point of hijab.
It also look's desperate, like you are trying too hard to please some random person rather than Allah SWT. It send's mixed signal's to non Muslim's also. Same goes for the chest area, let's keep it loosely covered inshallah.
If you have to wear tight clothes, cover it up with a jilbab/abaya/long coat.
This is pretty straight forward, although there has been a recent surge in sheer fashion. Steer clear of it ladies, as it mean's one of two things: you won't be covered correctly demonstrating a slave to fashion rather than a slave of Allah SWT or you will have that many unnecessary layers on trying to cover up you will be on the verge of over-heating.
Not pretty.
Avoid.Avoid. Avoid.
The only way of using a sheer hijab is if (and it's a big if) you can wrap it enough times for it to become opaque :)
This include's the dreaded camel hump hijab *shudders*.
You have seen it in hadith with a strong warning, so why do you insist on stuffing your hijab with random knick-knack's?? (flower clips on steroid's, shower puff's/ fleur de douche, loofah's...seriously??). The weight really isn't healthy on your hair or scalp. What a (literal) pain in the neck all that extra weight must be.
It was reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "There are two types of the people of Hell that I have not seen yet: men with whips like the tails of cattle, with which they strike the people, and women who are clothed yet naked, walking with an enticing gait, with something on their heads that looks like the humps of camels, leaning to one side. They will never enter Paradise or even smell its fragrance, although its fragrance can be detected from such and such a distance." (Narrated by Ahmad and by Muslim in al-Saheeh).
This is a saheeh hadith which was narrated by Muslim. More info.
This is a saheeh hadith which was narrated by Muslim. More info.
It's really unnecessary, inconvenient (one girl couldn't lie back in the dentist's chair properly and had to remove her flower clip - how cringe worthy is that?) and look's alien and ugly. Who want's to go for the Professor Quirrell (Harry Potter reference) look?? as it looks like there's another head under there(!)
If you know what's good for you: Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.
I wish I could help more Muslimah's understand the last point. It might take a while for some as it's about confidence and knowing your own self but Muslim women need to know that they have something no one else does, and that's Islam. We are working for something far better than any fashion trend of the dunya, something much more worth while!
We have been informed about the best possible way to dress as Muslim women, who are we to say otherwise? The women around the Prophet (peace be upon him) dressed within these guideline's so who are we to say that they are not for us?!
For every Muslimah who takes their step's in wearing hijab correctly, i'm so proud of you! I know it can sometimes be a struggle and take a little time but with the correct sincere intention's you will make it inshallah. If I and million's of other Muslimah's can do it, then i'm sure you can too!
I wanted to leave you with a little letter, from sister to sister.
"Dear Sister. I know it's hard. I know you look at the picture's of the model's and the celebrities and wonder why you can't go out and look like them. I know it physically hurts to sometimes refrain yourself from plucking those brow's or to put on that hijab and abaya. I know how it feels when your best friends are extremely pretty (Mashallah) in the latest fashion's and you're standing next to them, feeling like you're missing out. I know how much complement's and attention can light up your face. I know sometimes you have to give up being able to wear a certain thing because it isn't appropriate. I know it gets hard to walk outside with no make up on, with your natural face, thinking it's not good enough and all of your flaws are showing. I know.
You know what else I know? I know you're beautiful, regardless of what you think of yourself. I know that even the slightest inclination of pleasing Allah in yourself increases that beauty ten-fold and I know that when Allah finds you beautiful, it's all that matters. You're not doing this for the world, remember? You're not even doing it for yourself. Allah SWT knows your struggle's and is most kind.
Imagine your beauty on the first day you step into Jannah(!) when your face would be glowing and radiant with noor (light), when you would be more beautiful than the hoor and you would realize that this world (the dunya) really wasn't worth anything at all!
Keep strong and focused on your goal, nothing worth having ever come for free ; )
Dear sister, I'm proud of you."

September 11, 2001, was a Tuesday. Though our leaders seemed to be asleep at the wheel in the months preceding, and in the first minutes of the horror, these attacks were essentially a physical assault from the outside.
That fateful Tuesday was a primary election day in New York, and it was appropriately postponed. In the years that have followed, and right up to recent days, we have seen our democratic way of life both tested and diminished -- that is on us, not on the terrorists.
Tomorrow is another such primary day, giving us a new opportunity to honor and reaffirm our democratic institutions in real time. If you are registered as anything other than "independent", then please come out and vote to determine who will be the nominee for your party in the November general election.
We cannot bring back those we lost on that beautiful sunny day, nor the thousands more we sacrificed in pyrrhic pursuit of vindication in Afghanistan and Iraq. But we can do this little act of faith and commitment to the values for which we have always struggled.
Today we mourn, tomorrow we vote.
Today we mourn, tomorrow we vote.

Merchant cash advances are easier to get than traditional bank loans. Advantages include quick funding and a repayment schedule that is tied to the salon's cash flow.
Every successful salon must invest in inventory and equipment to stay ahead of customer demand and to remain competitive. Every few years, a major upgrade is needed, such as a salon renovation, new equipment, or just capital for marketing.
The problem is, most owners don't have the cash flow necessary for these outlays and must look at outside funding options to help grow their business. Many owners first try to secure traditional bank loans, but approximately seven out of 10 loan applications are rejected. For nail salons, seeking a traditional bank loan is even more challenging as an average loan for $15,000 is often considered a microloan, and too costly for a bank to underwrite.
One alternative finance option for nail salons is merchant cash advances (MCAs). An MCA offers businesses a lump sum payment in exchange for a share of future credit card sales. An MCA is a quick and flexible financing option that can provide solid businesses with necessary capital in a matter of days, not months like traditional lenders. Also while banks require approximately five years in business, most MCAs will provide financing to businesses in operation for just one year.
Merchant cash advance company American Finance Solutions counts hundreds of nail salons nationwide as clients. Most of these nail salons use the capital advance for equipment (i.e. more chairs and facility upgrades), product inventory, new hires, and marketing. Seasonal needs are also a key impetus for funding. For example, nail salons may need to gear up for an influx of summer business, so owners typically secure an advance in the spring to stock up on supplies.
Below are tips on what to look for when choosing an MCA, as not all are created equal.
Look for the following:
> An ethical, holistic approach. Banks reject half of small business loan applications because they rely on the credit quality of the owner and the value of collateral to support the credit decision. Banks can overlook and ignore good businesses because they don't look at the overall health of the business based on its sales. A major benefit of working with an MCA involves a focus on the general health and future prospects of the business, not the owner's personal FICO score. Also, an ethical MCA should be willing to tell a business what is truly the right amount they can afford.
> Quick turnaround time. A quality MCA can fund your salon in less than 10 days. This is important for times when you need to buy more inventory or supplies quickly, fix a piece of equipment, or make renovations.
> Flexible, realistic repayment schedule. The average repayment for a cash advance is less than 25% of the funded amount. That means that if a business is advanced $20,000, they will likely pay back about $25,000 total. It varies per business and depends largely on how much they need and the length of the term. Also, since many nail salons need cash during high season, the benefit of an MCA repayment schedule is that owners don't have to repay a high, fixed amount per month during their slow season. Instead they pay by having a small percentage from each credit card transaction deducted so payment is tied to the salon's cash flow.
What to watch out for:
> The MCA tries to advance you more money than you need. The reason some MCAs do this is to get a higher repayment amount from the salon. Beware of MCAs that try to charge more than approximately 25% of the amount advanced.
> The MCA charges interest on top of the repayment fee. Look for an MCA that does not charge an interest rate, though there may be a one-time processing fee.
> The MCA is an agent, broker, or reseller. Your business needs to work with a company that is the direct funding source. Otherwise the agent may take a cut of your advance or require his own fee for connecting you to an actual MCA.
Editor's note: NAILS spoke to Scott Buchanan, owner of Scott J SalonSpa, for another point of view. Buchanan is also the vice chair on PBA's board of directors, president of the Salon/Spa Leadership Council, and chair of the PBA Education Committee. He advises caution before taking any action that will affect your revenue stream. Not only is MCA an expensive way to get money, you may be unhappy when the credit card dollars you are used to receiving don't come in.
Scott Griest is founder and chief executive officer of American Financial Solutions, one of the nation's fastest growing merchant cash advances for small businesses. For more information, visit www.americanfinancesolutions.com.

It was extremely difficult to raise and lower (yes, it was old and the metal thingy was probably rusted) so I finally got very fed up after struggling with a 3'x4′ canvas and decided to research the best and easiest easel to raise/lower. I did not throw out my old, rusty easel since it was so nostalgic (from college days) and could still be used to hold a finished piece of artwork. (I must re-paint it in purple one day)!
The very first thing I knew I wanted in an easel was total ease of use. Meaning: very easy to raise/lower with the canvas on it (whatever size) and to be able to roll it around my studio. The easel had to be very easy to adjust without breaking my fingers, straining any other muscle or cussing up a storm (which I don't normally do), but the old easel just put me in that state of mind and I was losing precious painting time to boot!
After a couple of days of searching for my 'perfect' easel, I came across one that looked like it was just what I wanted. This easel was designed by David Sorg called "The Super 8 Easel." I was beside myself! It had everything I needed/wanted; ease of use, would last a lifetime, sturdy and actually, beautiful to look at (yes, I think easels have their own beauty). It was an easel like I had never seen before with a pulley-type system with weights that made it easy to raise and lower. Anyway, I called David, and he answered all of my questions. He is very nice to talk to! You can contact him and order directly, which I did. Yes, the price is high but it's definitely worth the money and will last a lifetime. Go to his website and read the short article about this fabulous easel! Oh, and make sure to measure your ceiling to floor distance because this is a tall easel. One more thing, the Super 8 is great for people who deal with hand or shoulder pain because you won't have to struggle with the raising/lowering and moving the easel around part!
Here is a picture of the Super 8 Easel. There is a place where you can put the paper towel holder, but I opted not to.
