495th Fighter Group
Published April 12, 2013
1 of 1
495th Figher Group
The 495th Fighter Training Group was established on October 9, 1943 and activated October 26, 1943 at RAF Atcham, England to provide forward training on tactics and operations for the European Theater during World War II. The group exercised command over the 551st and 552nd Fighter Training Squadrons flying the P-47 Thunderbolt and P-38 Lightning preparing pilots for action with Eighth and Ninth Air Forces. It moved to RAF Whitchurch, England, in February of 1945, and at the conclusion of hostilities was disbanded April 15, 1945.
In 2008, Air Force leadership recognized that the changing force structure demanded creative ways to generate experienced fighter pilots. The solution was to capitalize on the experience and assets of the Guard and Reserve. This Total Force Integration (TFI) initiative became Active Association, whereby Regular Air Force personnel work side-by-side with host Air Reserve and Air National Guard Component units in a mutually beneficial relationship.
The 495th Fighter Group was reactivated March 8, 2013, at Shaw Air Force Base, SC, as an active association between active-duty pilots and their guard and reserve counterparts and marked a historical moment in the Air Force's ongoing initiative to integrate active-duty Airmen, Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC) and Air National Guard (ANG) units to streamline training, spending and resource use. As a direct reporting unit to 9th Air Force, the 495FG is made up of more than 600 active-duty personnel across 22 ARC and ANG Fighter Wings under Air Combat Command assigned to the following units:
315FS assigned to the 158FW (VANG), Burlington International Airport, VT.
316FS assigned to the 169FW (SCANG), McEntire Joint National Guard Base, SC.
355FS assigned to the 301FW (AFRC), Naval Air Station Fort Worth Joint
Reserve Base, TX.
358FS assigned to the 442FW (AFRC), Whiteman Air Force Base, MO.
367FS assigned to the 482FW (AFRC), Homestead Air Reserve Base, FL.
377FS assigned to the 187FW (AANG), Montgomery Regional Airport, AL.
378FS assigned to the 115FW (WANG), Truax Field Air National Guard Base, WI.
Total Force Integration is a vital enterprise aimed at maximizing the combined contributions of the Active and Reserve components, while ensuring "right-sizing" of component mix. The 495th Fighter Group will continue to lead active associate units into the future of Air Force pilot training and the partnerships will allow active-duty, Air National Guard and Air Reserve Component fighter units to share resources, reduce duplications of effort, and ultimately, increase the Air Force's overall air defense capabilities in order to enhance the ability to provide dominant combat airpower for America.

|Ms. Vermeer acts in the full-length feature film "The Mummy's Desire" (2013)
which is available to watch on youtube.
Palm Springs, California, award-winning artist, vivacious Ms. Peggy Vermeer, 88, has become "Desert Art Royalty" by inspiring generations of artists (as well as those who appreciate art) through decades of dedicated teaching and exhibiting. With a Bachelors of Arts degree from UCLA, she studied at Immaculate Heart College.
Having created such diverse works as jewelry, paintings, collages, altered books, and paper-making, and receiving every major juried art honor given in the Coachella Valley, Ms. Vermeer has recently completed provocative post-modern contemporary assemblage sculpture "combines" which integrate several complex media formats -- many using techniques "ahead of their time" -- controversial works (such as "The Gay Buddha" masterpiece) which are seen on websites, on-line books and videos. Innovative, humorous, and thought-provoking, Ms. Vermeer's work is worthy of the curiosity and appreciation it inspires.
In 2013, Ms. Vermeer added "acting" to her resume by appearing in Brother Andy's "Hammer-inspired" feature film, "The Mummy's Desire", in which she humourously played the crotchety owner/manager of a Mexican hotel in the 1940's. Tragically, The Academy failed to recognize her wonderous contributions to the art of cinema with her appearance in this film.

It all started back in our old village when my dad got us excited about collecting butterflies. Later, once we moved up to our current village location, the collecting rate skyrocketed. We were collecting thousands of butterflies and moths. Then we started to collect weevils, stick insects, click bugs, long horned beetles, and so on. I loved collecting all types of bugs and I still do, but one evening around midnight, my focus changed a little.
I was awakened by the sound of Pu, Dad, Ira (Pu's mom), and Minat excitedly talking in the jungle, not too far off. I got out of bed, got dressed, and saw my mom standing by the door looking out the window. When I walked up she told me they had found a cuscus. I found a flashlight and quickly ran into the jungle after my dad and the others.
To make a long story short, we successfully hunted and killed the cuscus. I skinned it and then Pu took it home to eat (cuscus is a rare and much liked meat). Many of the people of the tribe get a large portion of their protein intake from subsistence hunting, so they are often alert for potential food sources. After that night I realized I wanted to start collecting larger, more difficult prey than insects.
I had already started to observe birds and soon started collecting them so that I could stuff and preserve them. At that time it was the beginning of 2013, and since then I have collected almost every type of bird here in our hamlet. I also have lots of skins from larger animals, their skulls, and a few reptiles. Because my bird collection is almost complete, my focus has recently changed to photographing the birds' nests and catching mice.
I learned from Pu how to make a mouse trap used in our area; I call it a snap-trap. A snap-trap is made totally out of jungle resources, which works really well, because the jungle mice are alien to inorganic material. All the rattraps I get sent in from the coastal town rarely catch anything.
The other day Pu caught a little mouse, and when I saw it I immediately recognized it as a tree mouse. It's a really cute type of mouse with unique features compared to the other mice I have collected. Tree mouse is the generic name for this type of mouse, but there are several different species within the family. I looked up this new catch in a book written by Tim Flannery to find its full name. There were only a couple species of the tree mice and after further reading I found that tree mice have only been collected in the Huon Peninsula, which is about half the island's length away from where we live. I was very excited, because there is a chance it is a new species, especially because of the distance between the other known species.
To discover a new species has been one of the main reasons I started this collection. We have already discovered several new species of moths, weevils, water beetles, and potentially one subspecies of butterfly. All these discoveries are super exciting, but they are just insects. I have been hoping to find a new species of mice! I have sent an email to a scientist I am in contact with who is a mammal specialist. I am still anxiously waiting his reply! I will let you know what I find out . . . .

This week the Oshman family celebrated three major milestones.
#1) On March 6, Mark and I celebrated 14 years of marriage. Woot! God gets all the glory for this. We had nothing in our favor when we got married: I was 20 and he was 23, I hadn't yet completed my bachelors degree, we were both in school, we had no money, and we both came from long lines of divorce. We overheard family members saying at our reception, "They'll never make it." It's true--we have family members who are that tacky. Thank you, Lord, they were wrong. May we fully rely on You all of our days.
#2) On February 28 we celebrated our third Gotcha Day with Rebekah. She has been our daughter for three years! Again, God gets the glory for this. As I read from David Platt last week, we adopt because we have been adopted. Adoptive parenting is a blessed journey and I highly recommend it.
#3) The third milestone happened on Thursday when Mark and I were appointed as missionaries with Pioneers International. We are blessed to be members of this outstanding mission, which "mobilizes teams to glorify God among unreached peoples by initiating church-planting movements in partnerships with local churches." If the Lord allows, our family will be moving soon to do just that in the Czech Republic.
Matthew 19:26 says, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." This is true of our marriage, adoption, ministry, and all things. May God grant us many more anniversaries, many more Gotcha Days, and many more years with Pioneers.

the birth of Milo Davis
Since we've passed a year of life for our sweet baby boy Milo, I thought it might be a good idea to finally share his birth story. (Better late than never, right?) I've seen many women share their beautiful birth stories with the world and I'd like to do the same. I think it's a good way to encourage other women to be open about their births and to celebrate our mama strength by appreciating our different stories. I'm not sure if anyone has done this (probably, but I just haven't seen it), but I decided to ask Mack if he would help me out and write his perspective on how Milo's birth went. He has remembered and told me things that even I can't remember and it's always refreshing to see yourself through the eyes of someone who loves you and who sees you without criticism as you do yourself.
April 8th, 2017 - the day Milo Davis McCartney took his first breath and changed our world forever.
Since the moment I found out I was pregnant (exactly 13 days after conception) I pretty much had a nagging fear in the back of my head of giving birth. It's such a terrifying thought and there's no way of knowing what it will be like until it happens, even if you have had children before. Seeing so many stories of horror & wonder, ease & difficulties, made me feel so unsure of what was ahead for me and how I would bring my child into the world. As we grew closer and closer to Milo's due date, the fear slowly dissipated. I somehow became more calm and was at peace with the fact that in a few short months or weeks I would have a baby in my arms, no matter how he came out. I always thought I would get this weird panic, sort of like reverse claustrophobia, but my mama instincts kicked in and I felt pretty good about what was in store for us. Leading up to delivery, we started to research birthing classes a little bit too late and didn't have many good options. We ended up skipping classes and books and research altogether and to be honest with you, I'm glad we did. Everything felt so right to me and with only some sage advice from my mom and my own instincts to go on, I was strong for my son and myself and birth was a great experience for me. Not to say that I wasn't in pain and that nothing ever went badly for me during my pregnancy, but my delivery was the absolutely proudest accomplishment of my life and I'm so glad to finally be sharing it.
I guess I should start at the beginning. Far too early in my pregnancy (around 7 months or so I believe) I had some unexpected bleeding. And by some, I mean practically gushing bright red blood (sorry guys). It was actually the SCARIEST moment of my life and I immediately felt shaky and terrified and we rushed to the hospital. Something inside me went into survival mode though and I didn't even shed a tear on the way to the hospital. Thankfully our hospital is only five minutes away and living in a small town meant the emergency room was dead at 9 o'clock at night. We were quickly whisked to a small room in labor and delivery and I was immediately attached to monitors. The moment I heard my baby's heartbeat was probably the biggest relief of my entire life. They monitored Milo and me for a few hours and saw that I was having some sporadic contractions (I'm not convinced they had any purpose, though, because I couldn't even really feel them). Nothing really happened but the bleeding continued and they had to make a decision. Because of the slight fear of preterm labor and the hospital's lack of NICU, we were sent by ambulance two hours away to Portland. The ambulance ride (which was my first and hopefully last) was absolutely terrifying for me because I was no longer hooked up to a doppler and I felt this intense panic and fear that maybe my baby's heart had stopped beating and I didn't know. After probably the longest and most uncomfortable two hours of our lives, we arrived at a much much bigger hospital. Over the next few days I was checked out by multiple doctors, got an ultrasound, lay in a hospital bed, ate terrible room service, and watched tv with Mack. After the blood slowed down and the fear dissipated, it was actually a very boring time for us. Our stay was extended a few times but in the end, nothing came of it and we never really figured out what happened. But we were so ecstatic (a little cautiously) and headed home.
Fast forward a few months, over the barf-inducing heartburn and the enormous basketball belly and endless stretch marks and our beautiful baby shower...April finally arrived. The day before or the day of (I can't quite remember) Milo's due date, I woke up in the middle of the night and had to go to the bathroom. Blood again. It wasn't nearly as much as last time and I wasn't nearly as afraid because we were so close to go time but I still didn't feel comfortable waiting it out. I called the hospital and tried to get some advice, but was told that ultimately it was my decision to make. Not taking any chances, I went ahead and woke Mack up and we made our way to the hospital for the second time since arriving in Astoria. I was checked and told I was 3 centimeters dilated and 50% effaced. The nurse told us to go home after an uneventful couple of hours with the comforting assurance that we'd be back the same night or the next morning. Two or three days passed irritatingly quietly. We were soooo frustrated that nothing was happening, but we went to my weekly checkup as normal. My midwife told me that I was actually only 2 centimeters dilated (I had told Mack I thought she would say that the day before) and we were immediately filled with disappointment. Thankfully, the disappointment didn't last long. The weekend came and I woke up very very early Friday morning with regular and uncomfortable contractions. I took a shower and put makeup on because I had this picture in my head of looking beautiful and made up during labor (which didn't end up being realistic for me hahaha). Once I woke up Mack, I decided to call my mom because I was fairly certain it was the day we'd finally meet Milo. We decided that my parents would come over and we'd all eat waffles and relax while waiting for things to progress. After eating breakfast and just hanging out for a while, my contractions began to slow down and I felt that same frustration creeping back into my body. I just wanted to get through it all and meet our son. We decided that we'd go out and about and do some walking to try to jump start the contractions again. I'll never forget going to a local antique store and browsing around, having to stop and lean on Mack every so often for support. After the antique store, we headed to Costco where Mack and Mom proceeded to force me to walk up and down every single aisle without breaks (LOL I know I'm complaining but I'm really thankful for the support system and I wouldn't have gotten through it without the nudge from them). I even got a delicious swirled frozen yogurt and ate half of it. We went back to my parents' house and watched some more episodes of the Office. Apparently my mom could see me getting more and more uncomfortable and around 8 p.m. she announced that it was time to go to the hospital. I reluctantly agreed, not wanting to be the woman who arrives to the hospital way too early and then has to hang out for hours upon hours before anything happens when she could still be in the comfort of her own home. When I was checked, I think I was around 6 centimeters dilated and fully effaced. For the next 10 hours or so I became increasingly more uncomfortable. Thankfully, our hospital had an amazing and supportive staff as well as awesome amenities (can you say aaaamaaazing jacuzzi tub???). I actually fell asleep in between contractions when I was in the jacuzzi. It was glorious. One goal I had was to avoid any medication and in turn be able to move around as much as I wanted. I ended up not wanting to move around much anyway (I tried the hands and knees position, leaning over the bed, and the ball and HATED them all). I spent the majority of my time laboring just laying in bed on my side, gripping the rail. Still, I was able to meet my goal of no medication. I gave birth to my almost 9 pound son without an epidural or anything else. I've never been so proud or amazed at what my body can do. I made it through by the advice from my mother. She told me beforehand to just focus on my breathing, and that's exactly what I did. Through every contraction, I focused all my energy and all my thoughts into taking a breath in and then pushing a breath out, over and over. I lost control a couple of times, but I was blown away by how much it helped me. After about an hour and fifteen minutes of pushing, our sweet babe finally arrived. I'll never forget the moment Mack told me he could see his hair. Just hearing that gave me a new and overwhelming motivation and he was in my arms shortly afterwards. I wish I could relive those moments. They seem so surreal to me now that I can barely remember them.
Unfortunately I am writing this after Milo's first birthday. Anne asked me to do this a while ago and before I knew it our little boy was one.
I told Anne that I was going to start my memory of this story at least two days before Milo was born. She politely informed me that that was fine because she had started her memory of the story from the second she found out she was pregnant. So here I am thinking my story will be long and it will probably be short compared to Anne's.
My story starts two days before Milo was born. It was an early Wednesday morning, about 2 AM, in Astoria, Oregon. Obviously it was raining. Anne woke me up because she was having contractions and had some bleeding. We called the hospital to gauge whether or not we should go or stay and let it progress. They told us to come in so they could check her cervix and see how far along she was.
I was extremely excited. I immediately texted my supervisor and told him that I would not be at work because today was the day! We get around, get our shit together and jump in the car. The hospital is maybe 1.5 miles away as the crow flies so it took no time at all to get there. Anyway we get there and they get us in a room. The nurse we had was super nice and got us all set up. After what seemed like forever they finally checked her cervix. She was ONLY 3 centimeters dilated... Long story short they sent us home.
I stayed home all day Wednesday just in case things started up again. Nothing happened.... I decided to go to work on Thursday because Milo was obviously taking his sweet time to make his way into this world we call home. The second I got to work people started giving me crap, because, well I missed a whole day of work and had no baby to show for it.
Work that day took FOREVER. All I could do was think about Anne and keep checking my phone for texts or calls saying that it was happening. Needless to say I didn't get much work done on that rainy Thursday. I got home and just kept being anxious until we went to bed..
Friday morning it started again. I again texted my supervisor and said I wouldn't be there. Anne was having contractions and things seemed to be moving forward all day until mid afternoon. Around that time it seemed like everything came to a halt. Anne's mom suggested we go out and get her moving to see if it would get things going again so we went to Phog Bounders, a local antique store, and started browsing. After that we went to Costco and we forced her to walk up and down every single aisle in that giant store and it seemed to work. We were there for a while when we decided to go home because Anne seemed to be getting pretty uncomfortable. We went to her parents house and just started hanging out. I put The Office on and just tried to wait patiently.
It was around 8PM when things seemed to get pretty serious. Anne's mom recognized this and said that it was time to go. We went back to our house grabbed everything we needed and headed to the hospital. We got there and they set us up again and again they checked her cervix, but this time she was 5 or 6 centimeters dilated! I was pumped and ready to go, but I quickly learned that I still have to wait.
So we make Anne comfortable and get her little popsicles and what not as things get more uncomfortable. We finally decide to try and get some sleep around 4 in the AM. I had just fallen asleep when the contractions started to get really bad. It was probably 5 minutes after 4 when Anne is all of a sudden in the thick of things. She is in a lot of pain but being an absolute superhero. At the same time I am is sitting there wondering if I could handle going through this again.... Let's be honest. Anne is way stronger than me.
They finally tell us that Anne is about 9.5 centimeters dilated and that she can start pushing whenever she feels ready. Not long after that she was ready. Every second leading up to this I am certain that I will be right next Anne's head. Out of no where the nurse is like come on Dad we need you to hold a leg. I am automatically worried that I will pass out. I have never been squeamish but if you have never experienced how do you know? I was surprised and instantly nervous but I grabbed her leg without hesitating. It was absolutely amazing.
After Anne had been pushing for close to a hour and a half we start seeing progress. All of a sudden I could see Milo's head! His shoulders started to come out and I couldn't believe my eyes. My beautiful son was coming into this world and it was all because of my amazing, tough, incredible wife! Then out of nowhere Milo comes rushing out and fluid shoots all over my shirt. I didn't know what it was and I didn't care. Before I knew it the doctor was asking me to cut the umbilical cord. I was crying and laughing. I felt more love than I had ever felt in my life. I was so totally in love with this little boy who I just met for the first time.
Now I love my wife, but after what she did that day, April 8th 2017, my love for her grew so much more that I could hardly understand anything that I was feeling that day. I still am trying to comprehend everything a year later. I probably never will. All I know is that I love my amazing, beautiful little family more than I ever thought was possible.

Jasmine and Sean are a truly sweet down to earth couple who dream of a rustic, independent life on their own smallholding with lots of children. As a result, Huntstile Organic Farm was the perfect location for their weekender wedding with a small number of family and friends. Everyone stayed on site and I joined them the night before for a pizza dinner! They got ready after one of the fabbiest tasting full English brekkies I've had in ages (good quality eggs make all the difference!). Jasmine is officially the first bride I've known to give a hunting axe as a wedding gift to her husband! She wore a sweet pink polka dot A line dress from Candy Anthony and Irregular choice shoes!
Once everyone was ready everyone got into a bunting decorated tractor to go to the hilltop where their ceremony was to take place. During the ceremony everyone had a mini toast, their friends and Jasmine's brother gave readings from Phillip Pullman and a self-written poem. They performed a handfasting with the help of Jasmine's mum and added the first soil to a tree they could take to their home, to which all the guests also added soil.
After the civil ceremony back at the Farm all the guests enjoyed some drinks and canapes and went to visit the lovely piggies, chickens and goats around the farm!
When everyone came in for dinner they had a few short speeches before food, dressing up, chatting and dancing! There was also a huge bonfire outside that the guests cuddled around!
The morning after...

Diego Hernández, President of the Mining Association "Sociedad Nacional de Minería" (Sonami), brought it to the point at the end of the exhibition: "EXPOMIN is important for the industry, because it shows the state of development of innovation and technology".
So all in all, the 15th issue of the EXPOMIN has again impressively demonstrated that this exhibition is an important platform for the exchange of knowledge, experience and technology, that contributes to the innovation of the mining sector in Chile and Latin America. And industry experts assume, that as of this year many investment projects kept on hold so far will be released: This underlines the positive outlook on the further development of the mining sector in the region.

Chris McCaughan (Lawrence Arms, Sundowner)
SPB: I take it by the multiple baseball references in your songs that you're a fan. What are your thoughts on the recent doping scandal?
McCaughan: Hold up! There's cheating and steroids in baseball?!! C'mon. Are we really so surprised by all this?
It's certainly unfortunate, as I think a lot of us felt like the doping era was slowly becoming history. But alas… What I love most about it all is just how full of shit guys like Braun and A-Rod are. Amazing!!! I love baseball for the tradition, the folklore, the history. For me sports are, in essence, about narratives and characters and baseball is filled with both.
But I should be clear about something here. I love sports (as a side note I can't stand the cynical internet dicks on the day of some big game who post… yay sports!!! or something equally witty. How droll!! Yeah, we get it, you're too cool for sports) but I don't watch baseball so much these days. Perhaps, growing up a Cubs fan has slowly eroded my desire to watch. I feel like it should be noted here, since I don't get much of an opportunity to talk sports in this forum, that basketball has always been the sport I loved, and played, the most. The NBA is the major American league I care most about and follow religiously. I live and die Chicago Bulls basketball, man. The rest… well, I'm just a sucker for a good storyline.

OMAHA, Neb. (CBS.MW) -- Transaction Systems' stock fell 16 percent Friday after the financial software maker warned of lower growth in its services business.
Advest's Edwin McClendon said he lowered Transaction Systems' tsai 2000 earnings outlook to $1.72 a share from $1.75. He also cut his 12-month target price to $52 from $57. His 1999 price target remained unchanged at $1.38. He maintained a "buy" rating on the stock.
BancBoston Robertson Stephens analyst Bryan C. Keane lowered the stock to a "buy" rating from a "strong buy." He reduced his 1999 EPS estimate from $1.41 to $1.40 and his fiscal 2000 earnings estimate from $1.78 to $1.73, due to slower than expected revenue growth. "As a result of Y2K, Transcation System's service revenues were less than expected, as smart card and home banking initiatives took a back seat to the Y2K priority," Keane said. "It is important to note that software license fees were not affected." The stock dropped 6 to 31 with more than 4.2 million shares changing hands.
An accounting change, which made the company's cash flow look worse than reality, also added to investor concerns, according to McClendon.
On Thursday, Transaction Systems posted second-quarter earnings of 34 cents per share, beating the First Call estimate by 1 cent.
The company is yet another casualty of "Y2K lockdown," caused by technology buyers trimming technology purchases to deal with the year 2000 problem, McClendon said.

Complete Casting Announced for Asolo Rep's EVITA; Opens 11/14
Asolo Rep proudly announces complete casting for its production of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's Tony Award-winning masterpiece EVITA. Directed and choreographed by Josh Rhodes (Broadway: Bright Star, It Shoulda Been You, Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella, First Date; West End: Carousel, Sweeney Todd; Asolo Rep: Guys and Dolls), the musical previews November 14 - 17, opens November 18 and runs through December 30 in the Mertz Theatre, located in the FSU Center for the Performing Arts.
Winner of seven Tony Awards, including best musical and best score, EVITA chronicles the electric rise and fall of Eva Perón, who used her beauty and charisma to climb from her poverty-stricken roots on the outskirts of Buenos Aires to become the powerful and polarizing First Lady of Argentina at the age of 27.
The previously announced acclaimed Puerto Rican recording artist and actress Ana Isabelle leads the all-star cast as Eva Perón, Argentina's magnetic and mesmerizing First Lady. Justin Gregory Lopez, who most recently portrayed Usnavi in Lin-Manuel Miranda's In the Heights (Ordway Center) plays Che. Nick Duckart, whose regional credits include Usnavi in In the Heights (Actors Playhouse), and the world premiere of Carmen (Olney Theatre), plays Juan Perón. Gizel Jimenez, who plays Perón's Mistress, recently played Rosalia in the National Tour of West Side Story. Victor Souffrant, who was most recently seen in Orlando Shakespeare Theater's production of Man of La Mancha, plays Agustín Magaldi. Tori Bates (Asolo Rep: Josephine), who recently made history as the first bi-racial actress to play the lead in Annie, will be a member of the children's choir.
The cast also features Andrés Acosta, Enrique Brown, Juan Caballer, Sophia Cavalluzzi, Junior Cervila, Ben Chavez, Emma Diner, Mica Dominquez-Robinson, Guadalupe Garcia, Gabriela Gomez, Tori Lee Greenlaw, Kourtney Keitt, Caleb Marshall, Trina Mills, Ryan Modjeski, Brandon Michael Nase, Marina Pires, Kyle Ramon, Santina Umbach, Salvatore Vieira, Sharrod Williams, Kristin Yancy, and Alexa Ziff.
Director/choreographer Josh Rhodes received Outer Critics Circle Award, Astaire Award and Drama Desk Award nominations and an LA Critics Circle Award for his choreography of the hit Broadway production of Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella. He also choreographed the Emmy-award winning production of Sweeney Todd. He received Outer Critics Circle and Astaire Award nominations for his choreography of Bright Star on Broadway.
"The most incredible part of this process has been finding the talent," said Director/Choreographer Josh Rhodes. "The score is extremely demanding and the scale of this production needs endless charisma from the actors - and this cast has enough talent and electrifying charisma to set the stage on fire. At its core, EVITA tells the story of high ambition and the price we pay to climb closer to the light. With the musical's design team, we have created a production that heightens the towering myth of an ambitious and passionate woman, while still allowing history and story to shine through."
The creative team includes Scenic Designer Paul Tate DePoo III (Asolo Rep: Josephine ); Costume Designer Brian C. Hemesath, a two-time Emmy Award winner, (SNL, Broadway: Honeymoon in Vegas, Asolo Rep: Guys and Dolls); Sound Designer Will Pickens (Broadway: M. Butterfly, Indecent, Dames At Sea, Honeymoon In Vegas,The Realistic Joneses, Bronx Bombers, A Time To Kill, Death of a Salesman); Lighting Designer Paul Miller (Broadway: Amazing Grace, The Illusionists, Legally Blonde, Freshly Squeezed, Laughing Room Only; Asolo Rep: Guys and Dolls, The Great Society, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, and more); Music Director Sinai Tabak (Asolo Rep's Guys and Dolls, Josephine, Luck Be a Lady); and Projection Designer Alex Basco Koch (Broadway: Irena's Vow; Asolo Rep: The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity, Josephine).
"With a cast of 29 and an orchestra of 12, this production will be one of the largest in Asolo Rep's history," said Asolo Rep Producing Artistic Director Michael Donald Edwards. "I could not be prouder of the diverse, talented, world class company of actors and artists we've assembled to bring this musical to life. With a creative team helmed by Broadway's brilliant Josh Rhodes and a cast led by triple threat Ana Isabelle, who fully embodies the passion of Evita on and off stage, we are thrilled to present a brand new production of this profoundly pertinent and moving musical."
Hailed as "An Artist to Watch" by Billboard magazine, Ana Isabelle shot to stardom as the winner of the popular Univision musical reality show Viva el Sueño, when more than 30 million viewers voted to crown her the next Latin music superstar. She has performed to sold-out stadiums throughout the U.S. and Puerto Rico, including Madison Square Garden. Feature film roles include the upcoming Imprisoned, starring Laurence Fishburne, and the remake of Francis Ford Coppola's Dementia 13. Her Off-Broadway credits include the musical I Like it Like That with Tito Nieves.
Asolo Rep will proudly host a special Family Day at EVITA on Sunday, December 3, when families can take part in family-friendly activities that explore the world of the musical prior to the performance, experience the performance with discounted tickets, and join a post-performance discussion with the cast. Throughout Asolo Rep's run of EVITA, the theatre will provide more than 1,000 students access to the world-class production through student matinee performances and public performances.

I just returned back from a leadership retreat where we had to practice the discipline of silence for 6 hours. WOW! it was a challenge to say the least. It made me realize the balance and discipline that is necessary to becoming a "whole" person. Our "silence" as crossfitters is our mobility work. How much time do you devote to lengthening your muscles, working on shoulders, increasing hip mobility and external rotation. Or do we think we have when we spend just a few minutes at the box. Becoming a whole athlete requires all facets of fitness. Nutrition, metabolic conditioning, strength, gymnastics, mobility. (did i forget anything?) Take the time and discipline yourself to become the whole package. Out!

When I was ten, I was furious at my dad for not taking me with him to complete the final negotiations on our 1985 Oldsmobile station wagon. I wanted to see it all: the salesman's harried trips to his "manager's office." The walkout threat that finally closes the deal. The shady fees tacked on after the handshake.
Thirty years later, I finally had the opportunity to buy my first car. Having lived in New York and Cambridge during my post-college years, I either didn't need a car, was happy with a used one off my parents' lot, or was content with the VW Passat that my wife brought to the union. But with the VW approaching its eleventh birthday and our second kid on the way, we beat a path to our nearest Subaru dealer. Look up sensible in the dictionary, and you'll see the picture above.
My ten year old self would be disappointed to know that how I went about purchasing the Subaru was exactly the opposite of how my dad bought our Oldsmobile. Here's how I did it:
Most important: You are buying a commodity: The Subaru Outback is a runaway success story for Fuji Heavy Industries. Back in January 2010, Subaru moved 5,467 Outbacks in the US. By January 2016, the number had more than doubled to 11,197 units. Subaru has thoroughly replaced Volvo as the official car brand of New England. I shopped Outback colors by riding my bike around my Cambridge neighborhood.
All this being said, remember: you are buying a commodity. Subaru is churning out hundreds of Outbacks from its Indiana factory every day. The identical car is available from any dealer. So just as you'd shop for diapers or milk, you are shopping for the best price, period.
Identify the exact model you want to buy: Color, trimline, options, MSRP. Know exactly what you want before heading to the negotiating table. The MSRP is a great number to confirm that you and the dealer are talking about the same vehicle.
Use Truecar to give you a price to beat: Truecar promises a much simpler way to buy a car. Tell them the car you want, and they give you a handful of dealers willing to honor a fixed price. But the Truecar user is paying a premium for ease of purchase. Instead, look at the bell curve of prices that Truecar highlights. The price you agree to pay should be either on the far left of the curve, or off the curve completely.
Remember that the Truecar price doesn't include state sales taxes and title/tag fees, so be sure to add those in to ensure you're comparing apples-to-apples. Once you get your first itemized quote from a dealer, you'll know what your state wants to title and put a plate on your new car.
Wait until the end of the month, quarter, or year: Common sense suggests that many people aren't buying a car in the dead of winter. But salespeople and dealerships are still trying to hit their quotas. I decided that the day to buy our Subaru would be the last Tuesday in January. A bit of Googling indicated that January is the slowest month for Subaru dealers, so I was betting on the fact that a few would be anxious to cut a deal.
Call about 10-12 dealerships: That morning, I called about a dozen dealerships within a 75 mile radius of Boston. I asked for the Internet sales department. They are happy to take your call, because they don't have to pay Truecar $300 for your contact information. I described the vehicle I wanted, and asked for an "out-the-door" ITEMIZED price to be emailed to me. Mass. sales tax, dealer fees, tags, everything. Or put another way: "What is the number on the check I will hand to you when you hand me the keys?"
All but one dealer played ball. The oddball told me that "the manager gives the best prices in person." I miss our Oldsmobile, but not the sales practices from 1985.
The cheapest prices were from dealers far from Boston: The out-the-door quotes I received ranged from $29,547 to $28,015. The low bid from a New Hampshire dealer was off the Truecar chart and $1,200 less than the "invoice price" quoted by Truecar. I was prepared to drive an hour to save thousands, but it turns out I wouldn't need to.
Take your lowest quote to a local dealer: That afternoon, I presented my lowest quote to the salesman that had worked with us during my test drives. I presented the opportunity to match the quote immediately and close the sale. He initially balked, saying that his dealership doesn't work like that.
But there was a sale to be had, and a sale at a super low price is better than none at all. These days, dealers earn bonus payments by hitting sales targets, so if the dealer wasn't making much money on my deal, my sale was still contributing to his overall sales figures.
The salesman asked for the low quote in writing (I sent him a photo of the email from my iPhone), and asked for a $1000 deposit to place the order. I asked for a signed contract to be emailed to me before any credit card information would be shared, which he reluctantly did. Contract in hand, I gave him my credit card details.
Deal done. Miles driven to shop price: 0. Total time spent on phone: 3 hours over one morning.
I could've probably knocked off a few hundred dollars more by playing dealers off each other, but I wanted to compensate our local dealer for the great test driving experience we'd had. It was painless, as I indicated on the survey I got from the dealer a few weeks later (they earn bonuses for excellent survey results). I also emailed thanks and regrets to the other dealers who I'd worked with earlier that day.
Keep the deal simple: Pay cash and don't have a trade-in (our beloved Passat sold in less than 24 hours off Craigslist after I took delivery of the Subaru). If you do finance, do the deal as if you're paying cash and have no trade-in. Once you agree on a price, then talk financing and/or trading in your old car. That way, the dealer can't play one number off the other.
Ignore the last minute upsells when you go to pickup: When I went to pick up our new car, the dealer tried to upsell an extended warranty and a car service package. Ignore the upsell and find yourself a reliable local mechanic to service your vehicle.
Optional: When closing the deal and before I picked up, I insisted that the dealer not place any dealer stickers on the car. It's my car, not a free mobile billboard for the dealer.

Accept and Grasp God's Love for You
"I pray that out of his glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.

How priceless is your unfailing love! Both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of your wings. -Psalm 36:7
But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in God's unfailing love for ever and ever. -Psalm 52:8
But you, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness. -Psalm 86:15

Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. -John 15:13
As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. -John 15:9
Father God, Your words give us wonderful understanding. Give me strength when I feel fragile and weak. Those around me may not know or see but You do and I know you are reaching out to strengthen me. Help me to remember that I have Christ dwelling within me. I know He is my source in all I need to face or do every day. Help me to grasp how very much You love me. Help me to remember how I am grounded by that love and rooted in it. You are my anchor. Thank you that I have been equipped with your love and that I have access to you through Your Spirit. Thank you for pouring your rich love over and into my life. Remind me, through your Spirit, that it is wider and longer and higher and deeper than I can ever imagine. Let me always feel wrapped and encased in your love. When I am tempted to despair over my own limited abilities and resources, fill me with a fullness and completeness. Thank you for the journey I am on to rely on You in every detail of my life. I want to live in the fullness of your love like never before. I love you and pray In the Name of my Wonderful Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.

Football is decided on thin margins – something Greece know very well after their World Cup victory over Ivory Coast.
With the scores at 1-1, deep into the game, they were heading out of the World Cup, but Celtic striker Georgios Samaras went down in the box, winning Greece a late penalty.
He stepped up and converted it, with what was basically the last meaningful kick off the match.
However, further replays showed that there was minimal contact with the Ivory Coast defender, and that Samaras actually appeared to kick the ground.
So, what do you think? Penalty or no penalty?

PHOTO: Mike Keating (left) and Jay Pivec celebrate the 2016 NCAA title.
After working in basketball as a head or assistant coach for 1,132 games over 40 seasons, Jay Pivec is ready for life's next chapter.
Pivec told St. Thomas head coach John Tauer this week of his plans to retire from the bench. Family, friends and fishing will help fill the void.
Pivec -- or Piv as he is affectionately known in the world of basketball -- capped his career with a five-year run on Tauer's staff, which was highlighted by a hand in the Tommies' 2016 NCAA championship.
Pivec's overall head collegiate coaching record was 605-258, His greatest success came during a 20-year span from 1990-2010 at Minneapolis Community and Technical College. He inherited a program that was winless in the previous season and took it to consistent excellence on the national level. In building a 452-115 record, he coached nine NJCAA first team All-Americas, was named MCAC Coach of the Year nine times, and NJCAA National Coach of the Year in 2009. Piv was inducted into the MCAC Hall Of Fame in 2002 and the NJCAA Hall Of Fame in 2010.
Pivec's college coaching career also included stops as an assistant at Minnesota State University-Mankato, Augsburg College and the University of Minnesota; and as head coach at Jamestown College, and Montana State-Northern. Pivec came to the Tommies after his previous stint as the inaugural head coach of the Dakota County Technical College Blue Knights in nearby Rosemount, an NJCAA member institution. Pivec's team went 42-18 in DCTC's first two years of competition.
People Person
A relationship builder throughout his career, Piv has maintained lasting relationships with the vast majority of his former players, coaching staff assistants, opposing coaches, administrators and yes, even game officials.
A piece of Pivec has graced several MIAC programs.
"I coached new Cobber head coach at Grant Hemmingson at MCTC," Pivec said. "St. Mary's head coach Jamie Rusthoven was an assistant for me at MCTC. Assistant coach Ed Cassidy at Hamline was an assistant for me at DCTC. Josh Franzen, another assistant coach at Hamline, played for me at MCTC, Longtime assistant at St Olaf John Mahal played for me at MCTC.
"I've been blessed to have had a phenomenal run," Pivec said. "While having an average high-school career as a player, and no college playing experience, I ended up pursuing the one work- related passion I had, Dr. Naismith's game, basketball. To end my run at the University of St Thomas was nothing short of spectacular. My relationship with Coach John Tauer runs deep. I will be forever grateful for the opportunity John provided me five years ago. A record of 110-31, four MIAC titles and of course the national championship in 2016. Will someone pinch me?"
Tauer said, "Coach Piv is a legendary figure in the coaching world. His successes are numerous, from 605 career wins to a parade of coaching accolades too numerous to list. The countless close relationships he has built with people surpass his statistical accomplishments.
"I've known Jay since I was in high school. During that time he has been a friend, mentor, and colleague. His five years with us was spectacular, highlighted by the 2016 National Championship, but marked even more on a daily basis by the impact he had on our student-athletes. Jay had the rare ability as a head coach for 30 years to become an assistant at the end of his career, and he did it exceptionally well.
"His contributions to our university were numerous. We will miss his spirit, energy, and passion, both for the game of basketball and for life. Jay is a dear friend and coaching with him the past five years has been an amazing experience. We will miss Piv, but we know he will continue following the Tommies. We wish him and his wonderful wife Mary Louise all the best now and in the future!"
Pivec and his daughter Katie were recently profiled in a story in the Star Tribune. You can read that story here

Abduction, sexual assault of Johnson County deputy described as 'ambush'
Johnson County officials on Monday said the abduction and assault of an off-duty, female deputy sheriff Friday night was apparently not a targeted attack.
"It was like an ambush," Sheriff Frank Denning said at an afternoon news conference. "It was so quick."
Officials said the deputy was headed to work at the Johnson County sheriff's office Central Booking Facility in Olathe at about 11:30 p.m. when she was was abducted from the parking lot by two men.
The deputy had stopped at a QuikTrip on Santa Fe Street near Interstate 35 before she headed to work and was followed from there by the men.
Capt. Brian Hill said that surveillance video shows the suspect vehicle pulling up to a gas pump, but they never got out to pump gas. When the deputy drove off, the suspect vehicle also pulled out, he said.
Hill said the abductors may have not have targeted the deputy specifically, but it appeared they were looking for a victim.
Authorities on Sunday released a video of the vehicle believed to have been used in the kidnapping and sexual assault. The vehicle is believed to be a 2015 or 2016 Mazda 3 four-door sedan with deep crystal blue paint.
The deputy is in her 20s and has only been with the sheriff's office for six months. When she did not report for work, the shift supervisor attempted to reach her by phone.
The deputy's abductors released her about 1:30 a.m. Saturday, dropping her off near Interstate 470 and Northeast Woods Chapel Road in Lee's Summit. The deputy found her way to the nearby Jackson County sheriff's headquarters at 4001 N.E. Lakewood Court in Lee's Summit.
Officials on Monday said the abductors never stopped while the deputy was in the car, and she believes that they spent much of the time driving on gravel roads.
During the ordeal, authorities said, the abductors covered the deputy's face with her own sweatshirt, but she was able to get a look at one of them when he grabbed her. Officials hope to release a composite sketch by Tuesday. The abductors are believed to be in their teens to mid-20s.
The deputy was carrying a pink Nike duffel bag when she was taken, and Hill said Monday that it was likely still in the suspect car when the deputy was released. It contained several items, including a black Johnson County Sheriff's Office windbreaker.
Hill said if anyone finds such a bag, they should call police.
Authorities on Monday said they recovered DNA samples from two males that will be checked against a national database. The FBI is also now assisting in the case.
Investigators are also working with other area law enforcement agencies to see if there have been similar attacks that could be connected.
There is a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the abductors. The sheriff's office asked anyone who has seen the car to get the license plate number and call 911, Johnson County sheriff's dispatchers at 913-782-0720 or the TIPS Hotline at 816-474-TIPS (8477).
"These are dangerous men," Hill said. "We need to get them off the street."

This advanced 40v lithium-ion-powered roller-mower from Webb is the only machine of its type in production and will prove a great buy if you've had enough of your noisy, dirty and maintenance-heavy petrol-driven mower! It's capable of bagging, rear-discharging and mulching, so it's highly versatile for a roller-mower; and it comes with a hugely roomy 60-litre grass-collector that delivers a substantial cut in downtime.

Experience clean, green cordless power and enjoy genuine petrol-equivalent performance with the eco-friendly and unique WERR17LIP roller-mower from top UK brand Webb!
Delivering the power is a cutting-edge 40v lithium-ion battery-pack that won't self-discharge when not in use; and which offer the sort of run- and charge-times that are impossible to achieve with less advanced lead-acid and ni-cad units (a charge of only 120 minutes gives a lengthy 35 minutes of mowing-time).
The only cordless roller-mower in production, the Webb WERR17LIP 40v Cordless Lawnmower will prove a fantastic buy if you like the look of a traditional striped finish.
It benefits from a folding handlebar that means you'll have no trouble finding a spot for it in the shed or garage; and it comes with a safety key that optimises safety by preventing accidental start-up.
Highly versatile, the UK-designed Webb WERR17LIP 40v Cordless Rear-Roller Lawnmower combines a seven-stage height-of-cut range with three cutting-modes (bagging; mulching; rear-discharge) so as to ensure you'll be able to effectively manage typically variable British conditions.
A soft grip will enable you to get the job done in comfort; while a 43cm working-width and extra-roomy 60-litre catcher provide excellent medium-area productivity.
Other important features include hassle-free single-lever cutting-height adjustment; and a strong, corrosion-resistant ABS polymer chassis.
Battery and charger supplied as part of the package.

Women both young and old got caught up in the crazed whirlwind of romance that was the "Fifty Shades of Grey" trilogy. I was one of them, and once I started the first book, it only took me a week and a half to finish the series. It was intense to say the least. Then we were graced with the first movie only to be left to wait a dreadful two years for the next. However, E.L. James released a fourth book in mid June of 2015, "Grey: Fifty Shades of Grey as Told by Christian".
The synopsis of the book or what we call the "blurb" reads, "See the world of 'Fifty Shades of Grey' anew through the eyes of Christian Grey. In Christian's own words, and through his thoughts, reflections, and dreams, E.L. James offers a fresh perspective on the love story that has enthralled millions of readers around the world."
"Grey" is a retelling of the first "Fifty Shades of Grey" and the earliest section of "Fifty Shades Darker" from Grey's perspective. This book has no new epic story or any new material. It is 557 pages of Ana and Christian's edgy and at times unsettling love story, here made more unsettling by the truth that fans already knew: Christian is "fifty shades of [f*cked] up."
James sets out to explore those shades and tries to recast the polarizing character of Grey. The book is framed with emotional flashbacks of Grey's youth and his dreams.
The e-mail exchanges between Grey and Ana, which are very entertaining, are repeated rather than expanded upon. The famed "contract", outlining the sexual relationship between them, appears again, and so his Ana's background check.
The slim extras of the book are new scenes with Grey's family and former lovers. The most rewarding is the end when the reader gets an inside look into Grey's decision to toss caution to the wind and finally win Ana back.
The book is not for curious readers. James says so by dedicating the book to "those readers who asked...and asked...and asked...and asked for this." She's writing for the passionate ones wanting Ana's story in one hand and Grey's in the other, to finally gain access to his mystery.
"Grey" is to solely gain more insight on Mr. Grey, who is dark and unrelenting and far too serious. James definitely knows and understands her characters. This book was strictly for the fans.

We get it. You're in a hurry. You want your exercise. And ripping down the narrow-gauge trails at Matthews Winters at 30 miles an hour is just fun. But get this: Next time you come screaming around the corner and expect me and my dog to jump out of the way, I'm not going to do it.
Instead, I'm going to pull to the side and give you an Iron Shiek clothesline. Not really, but I wouldn't mind.
This is the deal. We all need to share the trails. And, while I, too, understand how fun mountain biking can be, if you want to keep open access, you're gonna need to slow down when you see hikers. Believe me, I know.

Few will remember this, but back in the day -- before full-suspension bikes and 'potassium-magnesium' seats, or whatever crazy new alloy they are using these days -- you could mountain bike just about anywhere in Colorado. I used to skid down from my house on the Mesa in Colorado Springs and tear it up on my 35-pound Giant Iguana in the Garden of the Gods. But then some biker skidded around the wrong corner and ran into the wrong person. Just a few weeks later, you couldn't mountain bike Garden of the Gods anymore. Lesson learned.

The human bond inspires me. Our need to interact, to touch, to smell, to dialogue and to become itimate, fuels our evolution, our instinct for survival. The inevitability of death speaks beyond all languages, cultures, politics, religions, morals and values and unites us towards an ultimate goal: life.
In my new series, Human Flow, I focused on the mystery behind the human touch; each painting tells the story of an overpowering energy that feeds our desire to connect to each other. This series explores the feeling of loneliness by embracing the power of human connection through physical touch. What I have learned in the past is, as hard as you try to be an independent thinker and not conform by any rules, you are still never alone. The power of connecting to a group or crowd of people that have the same beliefs as you do, gives birth a sense of purpose.

On Friday, "Morning Joe" co-host Mika Brzezinski called Bill Clinton a "predator" during a conversation about Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore.
As panelist Donny Deutsch talked about the allegations made against Moore, Brzezinski, noting that this behavior isn't partisan, added somewhat hesitantly that Bill Clinton "sexually harassed an intern in the White House."
Later, Brzezinski actually called Clinton a "predator":
We have to look at what the goal is here. What's the goal? What are we trying to do? Because I think the goal is to shine light on really bad behavior … we need to create an environment where everyone feels safe, where this behavior is shunned, where it's unwelcome, and where it's prevented. So, is the goal to bring people down based on politics or hate?
There are cases that are proven, where there are settlements, where there is evidence and the sexual predator has been brought down. Harvey Weinstein. There are cases where the predator flourished and continued to be the President of the United States. I'm talking about Bill Clinton. Where the women were attacked, where they were settled with, and their lives were ruined – Monica Lewinsky.
While it's certainly encouraging to see progressive pundits, politicians, and celebrities finally give some credibility to Bill Clinton's accusers, it all feels forced. It's as though progressives are being forced to acknowledge these women — at least in passing — simply because the topic of sexual abuse is so prevalent in the news. It's all too little, too late.
Clinton was accused of several heinous crimes. Juanita Broaddrick says Clinton violently raped her in 1978; Kathleen Willey says he sexually assaulted her in 1993; Paula Jones says he exposed himself to her in 1991.

This test was conducted in a controlled environment using (3) tomatos from a local farmers market. Two simultaneous tests were conducted. The results are astounding. Here is the setup:
• (3) tomatos from the same harvest lot - similar size, color, ripeness & density
• Tomato #1 - given a 35 minute treatment with the IonCleanseÆ Spa
• Tomato #2 - CONTROL - given no treatment whatsoever
• Tomato #3 - given a 35 minute treatment in The Aqua-Chi Model 5400 footbath spa
• Southern exposure window in an undisturbed room
• Panasonic DVX100 camera, set on time lapse mode (record 15 frames every 10 minutes)
• Battery backup power on the camera
• Test for (5) weeks - time lapse final video to 1 minute duration - start to finish Conclusion: The tomato charged by the IonCleanse rotted at an acellerated rate compared to the control tomato and the Aqua-Chi tomato. The tomato charged by The Aqua-Chi stayed fresh and healthy even past the normal spoiling time of the control.

The UK, like many other countries has lots of recruitment businesses and recruitment consultants. Depending on your viewpoint, they can either guard the door to thousands of opportunities, or hold the key to these opportunities. Either way, it is likely you will have to deal with them at some stage in your career.
So, how can you make sure the relationship is going to benefit the both of you? You'll be pleased to hear it's not actually too difficult. It relies on the professional skills you already claim to possess!
Below is a quick breakdown of the main principles. Follow these, and you won't go far wrong.
A good consultant will still call you after you have turned down a job that wasn't right for you. Saying 'no' saves them time so that they can concentrate on looking elsewhere, filling the positon with someone more suited. It also means they have more time to find you the right job.
The key ingredient for all of this to run smoothly is effective two way communication. Well, c'mon, it can't always be easy!
I remember an occasion when I spoke to a candidate who told me he wouldn't dress smartly to see me, but he would for the employer. Unfortunately, this candidate never got the chance.
Of course, there are certain things you expect in return from the consultants. The only jobs they should be recommending are ones that are suited to you, and they should always do as they promise. They should never expect too much from you or be annoyed if you decide to take a job that is not with them.

Who We Are
Cheri Hudnut and Nikki Levine started Vision & Venture in 2015 after launching Roots & Shoots Photography in 2009, which focuses primarily on school portraits. After many requests for professional portraits, they realized that there was a need – particularly among women – to not only get stunning portraits that would set them apart, but to facilitate a comfortable and supportive environment throughout the process.
Why Vision & Venture?
With over 15 years experience, we've seen the need for professional portraits increase dramatically as a tool in business. We take the time to connect with women, allowing them to feel beautiful and see themselves as the powerful people they are.
