Did you know my kitchen and business are thermie free? Here's why...
I am a bit of a minimalist, well, a lot of a minimalist. I am a considered consumer who tries her best not to hoard and accumulate items unnecessarily...I am a champion of 'doing the best with what I've got' (which is a blessing and a curse) I am a crusader for the awesomeness that is a 'decluttered life'. Interestingly that is not why I don't own a thermie, and why I don't depend on them in my workshops, my online course, any commercial kitchen I have been in.Read More

Mortgage Credit Scores
Your credit report contains a set of credit scores that have a direct impact on the availability and the terms of a home mortgage. The higher your credit scores are, the better the rates will be. For a higher loan to value, credit scores can have an even greater effect.
Credit score information is provided by 3 national credit reporting bureaus: Transunion, Equifax, and Experian. Their computer risk models track how typical borrowers will pay their bills, and identify specific payment patterns, forecasting the risk.
Credit scores are based on five main categories of information:
1. Late Payments, Delinquencies, Bankruptcy, Tax Liens, Foreclosure
2. Outstanding Debt – Ratio of balances to available credit
3. Length Of Payment History
4. New Applications For Credit (Inquiries)
5. Types of Credit in Use – Credit Card, Installment, Mortgage, etc.
Credit scores are based on a person's whole credit picture. No one factor determines a score. Your credit report is a composite of both positive and negative information such as missed loan payments, as well as loan accounts paid satisfactorily. Issues that can carry the most weight are:
Payment Performance: The fewer late payments, the better the scores. Payments that were 60 or 90 days late have more of a negative effect than a 30 day late. The age of late payments can effect your credit scores, more recent late payments are considered worse.
Credit Use: A large number
of accounts can reduce your credit scores, especially if the balances are high.
Using 75% of your credit limit is a greater risk than using 25%.
Payment History: A longer payment history is better for accounts on your credit report. Having recently opened a new loan or credit card could reduce your scores, as well as new inquiries.
Inaccurate information can reduce your credit score. Read about disputing credit reporterrors.

From El Alto to La Paz in just 16 minutes. On the skies of Bolivia.
In 2014 the president of Bolivia, Evo Morales, inaugurated the yellow line of the longest and highest cable car ride in the world, located in La Paz. This project is considered a work of remarkable engineering and architectural importance.
The yellow line, with its 169 cabins operating at 4,000m above sea level, has revolutionized the way of traveling between La Paz and El Alto. It manages to transport 3,000 travelers an hour between the two locations, allowing us to reach new destinations and shorten the distances between people.
The journey on the cable cars of the yellow line is just impressive: the city of La Paz embraces its passengers, showing them its entire enormity.
Emmedue has contributed to the construction of this new way of traveling in La Paz by providing a secure solution for the construction of the highest station in the world (3.600m above sea level), which has become a touristic and commercial magnet.

|Administration of Tumor-Associated Antigen (TAA)-Specific Cytotoxic T-Lymphocytes to Patients With Active or Relapsed Hodgkin or Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
|Brief Summary
Patients have a type of lymph gland disease called Hodgkin or non-Hodgkin lymphoma which has come back, or may come back, or has not gone away after treatment, including the standard treatment known for these diseases. This a research study using special immune system cells called tumor associated antigen (TAA)-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes, a new experimental therapy.
This sort of therapy has been used previously to treat Hodgkin or non-Hodgkin lymphomas that show proof of infection with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), the virus that causes infectious mononucleosis ("mono" or the "kissing disease"). EBV is found in cancer cells of up to half of all patients with Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. This suggests that it may play a role in causing lymphoma. The cancer cells infected by EBV are able to hide from the body's immune system and escape being killed. Investigators tested whether special white blood cells, called T cells, that were trained to kill EBV-infected cells could affect these tumors, and in many patients it was found that giving these trained T cells caused a complete or partial response.
However, many patients do not have EBV in their lymphoma cells; therefore investigators now want to test whether it is possible to direct these special T cells against other types of proteins on the tumor cell surface with similar promising results. The proteins that will be targeted in this study are called tumor associated antigens (TAAs) - these are cell proteins that are specific to the cancer cell, so they either do not show or show up in low quantities on normal human cells.
In this study, we will target five TAAs which commonly show on lymphoma, called: NY-ESO-1, MAGEA4, PRAME, Survivin and SSX. This will be done by using special types of T cells called cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) generated in the lab.
In addition, some adult patients will receive a drug called azacytidine before giving the T cells. We hope that the combination helps the T cells work better.
|Detailed Description
The patient will give blood to make TAA-specific cytotoxic T cells in the lab. These cells will be grown and frozen. If the TAA-specific cytotoxic T cells can be made, the time from collection of the blood to manufacture of T cells for administration to the patient is about 1 to 2 months.
There are 4 stages of this study: an antigen-escalation phase, a dose-escalation stage, aza stage and pediatric patients stage.
The antigen-escalation phase will be first. Patients will receive TAA-specific T cells targeting first 1 and then 2 TAAs. Once this schedule proves safe, the next group of patients will receive TAA-specific T cells targeting first 2 and then 3 TAAs. This process will continue until all 4 levels are studied. This means that the final cohort of patients will receive TAA-specific T cells targeting first 4 and then 5 TAAs. If the side-effects are too severe, the number of TAAs being targeted will be lowered or the T cell injections will be stopped. Each patient will receive 2 infusions at the same dose 28 days apart
After the antigen-escalation phase, the dose-escalation phase will begin. Patients will be started on the lowest dose (1 of 3 different levels) of T cells. Once that dose schedule proves safe, the next group of patients will be started at a higher dose. This process will continue until all 3 dose levels are studied. If the side-effects are too severe, the dose will be lowered or the T cell injections will be stopped. Each patient will receive 2 infusions at the same dose 14 days apart
After the dose escalation stage, adult patients will be enrolled on the aza stage where they will receive the drug aza followed by two infusions of T cells on dose level 2. Patients will be given 3 cycles of aza (administered daily through a vein for 5 days, every 28 days) followed by 2 doses of multiTAA-specific T cells administered 14 days apart. Before the patient is given the aza they will be given a drug to help prevent nausea and vomiting.
On the pediatric stage, pediatric patients will receive 2 infusions of T cells on dose level 2. The T cells will be given 14 days apart.
The cells will be injected by IV over 10 minutes. The patients may be pre-treated with acetaminophen (Tylenol) and diphenhydramine (Benadryl). Acetaminophen (Tylenol) and diphenhydramine (Benadryl) are given to prevent a possible allergic reaction to the T cell administration. If after the second infusion there is a reduction in the size of the patient's lymphoma on CT or MRI scan as assessed by a radiologist, the patient can receive up to six (6) additional doses of the T cells at monthly intervals if they wish. All of the treatments will be given by the Center for Cell and Gene Therapy at Houston Methodist Hospital or Texas Children's Hospital.
In between the first and second T cell infusions and for 6 weeks after the last infusion, the patient should not receive any other anti-cancer treatments such as radiation therapy or chemotherapy. If the patient does receive any other therapies in-between the first and second infusion of T cells, they will be taken off treatment and will not be able to receive the second infusion of T cells.
- Imaging study 6 weeks after the 2nd TAA-CTL infusion.
To learn more about the way the T cells are working in the patient's body, an extra 20-40 mL (4-8 teaspoons) of blood will be taken before each cycle of aza (if applicable), 2 weeks after each cycle of aza (if applicable), before each T-cell infusion, and at Weeks 1, 2, 4 and 6. One additional blood sample might be drawn 3 to 4 days post the T-cell infusion; this is optional. Afterwards, blood will be collected at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after the last infusion. The blood may be drawn from a central line at the time of the patient's regular blood tests. Investigators will use this blood to see how long the T cells last,and to look at the immune response to the patient's cancer.
Study Duration: Patients will be on active study participation for approximately one year. Patients who receive additional doses of the T cells as described above will be actively followed until 1 year after their last dose of T cells. Investigators will then remain in contact with patients once a year for up to 4 additional years (total of 5 years follow-up) in order to evaluate disease response long-term.

|© Paha_l
A little while ago Scott Kelby's announced his Second Annual Worldwide Photo Walk.
The official PhotoWalk day is Saturday, July 18th 2009.
There are hundreds of cities around the world which have scheduled PhotoWalks.
The idea is just to go out and shoot, and have a lot of fun with fellow photographers.
On the PhotoWalk site: http://worldwidephotowalk.com, you can check out the nearest location for you. Or you can also volunteer to lead your own photowalk.
The best of the Photowalk 2008
Let's have a stockowalk! ;)

Neat!!! Thanks for letting us know!
Good idea! Thanks for the info, Maigi. Wonder if I'll be able to do it...there are some around me but the one I want to go to is a bit of a drive.
Thank you. We have one here in my city. This should be fun. Thanks again.
My nearest walk is oversea, in the neighboring country. :( But I thought I still could "participate" on my own on that day, in my hometown. Maybe I manage talk some of my friends in. But still it's the fascinating idea to think that there are lots of photographers out all around the world on that day. :)
Great idea, and some amazing photos from 2008. My local photo walk is already filled to capacity, although I could volunteer to host my own walk I feel the time is too short to arrange everything necessary. I will keep this site in my faved and check in for next years walk.

Reported By Women: 'What does Pride mean to you?'
Reporting by Kate Ducey and Lauren Lewis. Photography by Lizzy Geraghty and Chelsie Walter.
We asked Cincinnatians of all genders, sexual orientations, races, religions, ethnicities, and cultures one question at the 2018 Cincinnati Pride Parade and Festival last Saturday: "What does Pride mean to you?" As rainbow flags flew through the rain and dancers pranced through the streets, smiles beamed while we dodged through crowds and heard their answers.
From love and happiness to acceptance and freedom, each and every answer was woven together with a common thread of celebration. People came together not to tear each other down, but to lift one another up. And above all, to cherish their colors and what it means to be human.
"So I recently came out about a year and a half ago, and to me, it's a celebration of me being able to exist. There's a lot of – in my opinion, at least – opposition to the folks being able to be gay. Still to this day. And I don't think that's, you know, right. So I come out to support not only myself, but my boyfriend, my friends, all the people that are gay and feel like they need a voice. So that's why I think Pride is important." –Gage Woolley
"Pride, to me, means being able to be whoever you want to be and having the world come together to love everyone for their differences." –Sammie
"My brother. The love. Just everything. Fabulousness. And just being comfortable in your own skin, and showing everybody that no matter what you look like, who you love, what you are, you're loved and you're wanted." –Amber McCulley
"Pride is exactly what this is: the community coming out, and we're all supporting, and everyone is here for it. Nothing else is happening; we're all having a good time. That's what Pride is. Cincinnati Pride, gay Pride, black Pride, all types of Pride. We're all out today, we're all enjoying it: especially for the gay Pride. Let's go!" –Caley Marshall
"That's so hard because it means so many things. My first reaction is love. One of my sons is gay and the first thing I thought when he came out to me was that he will be loved." –Betsy
"It means celebrating the people who have the courage to be who they are despite what society wants them to be." –Kelly Beischel
"Oh, it means everything for me, honestly. It means just being proud of who I am, fully enjoying who I am as a person and just living my best life." –Andy Girmann
"Pride is really important to me as black person of queer identity. Because, especially in the black community, we're so downtrodden on by our families and the sanctions that we have on the black community. So Pride to me really means being yourself and everything that you want to be." –Kayla Lennon
"What Pride means to me is a time where you can set your differences aside and come together with the people you love to appreciate every human on this earth. Sexual orientation or preference doesn't matter. We are all human." –Aidan
"To me, Pride is an inclusion of everyone. To me, Pride is about celebration and acceptance of self. A recognition that you are worthwhile and valuable. I'm proud not because I'm bi, but because of how being bi shaped me into being the person I am today. I'm proud of what I've fought through and what I will continue to fight through because of my orientation. I go to Pride for all the people who are too scared to. I go to Pride – sorry, this is important – I go to Pride to celebrate who I am and who others are. I go to Pride to celebrate how proud I am of what I've gone through. I go to Pride to remember the history of the community, and to remember that I am allowed to love who I am and I shouldn't be ashamed to make a bunch of noise for the world to hear." –Tyler Gilkey
"It is a day full of expressing who you truly are without any judgement" –Anna C.
"It means you can be your best self, you know? Just get to be your best self, live your best life, be happy about it, and share it." –Alyssa Sterling

A New Year from Earth/
Pisces 3, 2078, m249
There are still 18 month before the New Martian Year, but one of the benefits of life on Mars is the milestones of two planets. As we come out of celebrating the holidays of Earth and closing out another year on the Gregorian calendar, we are suddenly reminded of the void left behind when our first professional sport season has also come to an end. Season 2 of the MAFL won't be coming around until the month of Mesha, that's an unbearable 4 months away.
In fact, we won't have to wait long. The MAFL has been quiet, but that doesn't mean nothing is happening. Aside from all the post-mortem meetings happening at the Europa headquarters, we already know that there are at least three colonies bidding to get into the league. The industrial-town of Wendland is a strong contender with a rapidly growing population expected to exceed 4000 in population this year; the affluent Columbia Hills also come as no surprise, especially after the incredible athletic performance of Alan Sawyer who took stage 5 of Pathfinder Marathon; but perhaps Korolev may come as surprise. The small settlement near Cassini is best remembered for temporarily hosting the Dynamos during the Chubarov outbreak at Noviymir. After getting an adhoc stadium built, it clearly stirred their ambitions to play in it themselves.
Though it is unlikely to to see the MAFL expand too quickly, it does indicate that there will be exciting additions for Season 2. There are no shortage of trade rumours and reports of clubs actively courting marathon racers. Europa United has not confirmed signing Gunvir Pachehra, the Overall Men's Winner. Should Pachehra give up his career as a physicist to join United, he would become the oldest player in the league.
Rather than crying a bowl of salty tears in wait of season 2, this is, in fact, likely the most exciting time for any fan. Not only is the MAFL actively evolving, but it is very likely that m249 will be remembered as the year that the face of Martian culture changes because of games. A plethora of new sports are approaching the starting gate and unlike the rocky beginnings of the MAFL, there are no shortage of investors willing to play, and two inhabited planets in the solar system ready to watch.

Top 10 Songs Honoring Mom
May 02, 2016 01:46PM
● By Paul Cotruvo
Welcome May! Truly one of my favorite months of the year. Spring is in full bloom, baseball has started, basketball playoffs are happening (go Warriors), and it's the month we honor our mothers (although, I feel we should honor them year 'round). Being a mother is virtually an endless job. They are our protectors, teachers, friends, counselors, and disciplinarians. Being a mother is most likely the hardest job there is, period. I know my mother supported me in my musical pursuit, even though deep down she would have rather had me stay in school and become a doctor. But she was always there in all the good times and bad. Unconditional love and sacrifice can only describe motherhood. Honoring them in song is, perhaps, the ultimate tribute. So many artists have honored their moms; it's hard to put in one article, but here are a few to check out.
In the song, "Let it Be" by the Beatles, Paul McCartney wrote this song that was inspired by his mom, Mary, who passed away when he was 14. McCartney had a dream one night when he was feeling anxious. He saw a vision of his mom, who had been dead for ten years or so, "speaking words of wisdom." It was this sweet dream that inspired him to begin writing the song.
Fellow Beatle John Lennon also was inspired to write a couple of songs for his mum: "Julia" and "Mother." The latter song may not be the happiest song but deals with the pain of losing his mother when he was just 17. "Mother, you had me / But I never had you / I wanted you / You didn't want me / So I, I just gotta tell you goodbye."
Of course, country music is filled with songs about mothers. The late, great Merle Haggard's "Mama Tried" is a country classic, written about the pain he caused his mother by robbing a bar. "No one could steer me right but Mama tried, Mama tried / Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading I denied /That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried."
The list of country songs can go on and on, but there are some worth listening to, such as "Coat of Many Colors," by Dolly Parton, "Mama He's Crazy" by the Judds, "Mama's Song" by Carrie Underwood, and "The Sweetest Gift" by Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris.
So many genres of music honor mothers. There is 2Pac's "Dear Mama," Justin Bieber's "Turn to You," Boys II Men's "A Song for Mama," and Metallica's "Mama Said." Even Snoop Dog has a song about his mom, "I Love my Momma." Obviously, we've all been touched by our mothers. So I've decided to compile a list (not an easy task) of my favorite top ten mother songs.
1) Mother- John Lennon
2) Julia- The Beatles
3) Let it Be- The Beatles
4) Oh Mother- Christina Aguilera
5) Mama Tried- Merle Haggard
6) I'll Always Love Mama- The Intruders
7) A Song for Mama- Boys II Men
8) Mama's Song- Carrie Underwood
9) Mama's Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys – Waylon Jennings
10) Tell Mama- Etta James
So let's honor our mothers, get that playlist together, and blast out all this music this Mother's Day!
Quote of the Month:
"Mama was my greatest teacher, a teacher of compassion, love and fearlessness. If love is sweet as a flower, then my mother is that sweet flower of love" - Stevie Wonder

Study: Beltline could 'resegregate' Atlanta
Can Atlanta protect its longtime residents from the brunt of gentrification?
A new study reveals the Atlanta Beltline is still spiking property values in low-income, predominantly Black neighborhoods, according to urbanist blog ThreadATL.
Dan Immergluck and Tharunya Balan, city planning professors at Georgia State and Georgia Tech, respectively, recently published a report showing median sale prices had skyrocketed 68 percent from 2011 to 2015.
Now, Immergluck says, the city needs to install protections for "vulnerable renters and homeowners," lest they're priced out to pave the way for more posh Beltline-area development, according to CityLab. "In the long run, without intervention, Beltline-driven gentrification will lead to the economic and possibly racial resegregation of the city," he says.
ThreadATL, citing color-coded maps of Atlanta's economic and racial borders, argues that segregation is already happening.

We did something crazy!
You're never going to believe it. We bought 4 airplane tickets in advance! 😀
We learned our lesson when we overpaid the plane to Padang and back so that's why we sat down. Talked. And decided on a plan! 🙂
On sunday we're going to Gili Air for a week, then to Flores and Komodo, and theeeeeen we fly to central part of Maluku islands! Yaaaaay! We tried to buy the ferry tickets to Banda islands of Maluku but there is no ferry (all 3 weeks, I guess it's just very remote). We'll just see as we go. Inflight Indonesian tickets are almost impossible to buy on their websites (no Indonesian bank card) and travel agencies love to make the price high, so we bought the tickets via great website Nusatrip.com.
On 19. 9. our Indonesian visa runs out and we'll go to Myanmar for a month and then to Vietnam. We'll probably go to Philippines next but who knows… 🙂

Steve Sanko, PE, CEO
The Dash Door Difference is the combination of experience, product & service offerings and an ongoing commitment to customer service. Our six specialty departments offer our clients a unique turnkey solution to commercial door and glazing systems.
To a young officer in New York City who just finished his military service after WW II, the bright lights and abundant sunshine of Miami Beach beckoned as the US began its post war boom. Dash Door was established in 1955 when founder Martin J. Steiner and his wife Esther decided to explore exciting new technologies and opportunities that were exploding in South Florida.
The door opened – literally – with the founding of Dash Door, which capitalized on Marty's business acumen. The new company sold automatic door solutions to the burgeoning hospitality market during the "Miami Modern" boom. By the early 1960's, Dash Door began to work with a new client, the Miami International Airport (MIA) – a humble relationship that continues today with thousands of automatic and security doors being serviced 24/7.
Leveraging its hospitality and airport expertise. Dash Door continued southward, expanding into the Caribbean and Latin America in the 1970's. By the 1980's, the door industry was fully embracing new technologies. Dash Door assumed a leadership role in developing programmable logic control for the MIA and other clients needing complex door sequence of operations or door status reporting over multiple locations. The current Access Control/Electronic service group was born from this effort.
Fierce hurricanes and tropical storms during the 1990's created a dramatic shift in the way South Florida viewed glass as a building material. With strict new codes evolving, Dash Door expanded its glass and glazing capabilities, becoming a state certified specialty subcontractor to expand its scope offerings on commercial projects. Dash Door also designed and fabricated its first Miami-Dade code approved hurricane product: the center hung aluminum and glass in-swing automatic door is unparalleled in the market today.
As the new millennium ushered in a construction boom, Dash Door responded by implementing new processes, better quality control, and enhanced administrative abilities. The addition of Dash Door's Contract Door Hardware Group in 2009 was followed by new warehousing capabilities for large-scale contract door and hardware deliveries. Today, larger inventories provide clients with access to Dash Door products on any new construction or renovation project. We can quickly respond to requests for integrated service for Division 8 scopes.
We look fondly on our history as it renews our commitment to superior service, innovative product development, and the long-term client relationships that result from years of hard work.
The Dash Door & Closer Service team is made up of professionals with a combined experience of over 250 years – experience while only being employed at Dash Door! Our high retention offers our clients the greatest level of technical support and service.

|I am having trouble getting enthused for these games.
Michigan at Northwestern
There is only one story here, and that's whether Michigan will fix anything about their broken offense. Will the offensive line improve? Will Al Borges change the play calling? That's all I really want to see. I'll still cheer, I'll still root for the victory, but mainly I just want to see some progress on offense.
Prediction: Michigan 16, Northwestern 21.
N.C. State at Boston College
I have a similar level of ennui here. B.C. is a middle-of-the-road ACC team and has played well recently. That is much more than N.C. State can say. State certainly has the ability to win here, but they'd have to avoid the mistakes that doomed them against Duke. B.C. is far from being an offensive powerhouse, but their defense will give State some trouble.
Prediction: N.C. State 17, Boston College 24.
Games to Watch on TV
At noon, Indiana plays #22 Wisconsin on ESPN2. This will give Wisconsin a chance to prove themselves; I still think they're vastly underrated. At 12:30 the N.C. State game is on Fox Sports Carolina, or online on ESPN3.
At 3:30 the Michigan-Northwestern game is on BTN, but there are a variety of other games to keep an eye on. #16 Michigan State plays Nebraska on ESPN; that may as well be the Big Ten semifinal game. #25 Georgia plays #7 Auburn on CBS. #12 Oklahoma State plays #24 Texas on Fox. It's surprising to see that Texas has clawed back into the rankings. #23 Miami plays at Duke on ESPNU, and I wouldn't be surprised to see Duke pull off the upset.
At 7:00 Florida plays #10 South Carolina, as coach Spurrier takes on his old school on ESPN2. At 7:45 Alabama plays Mississippi State on ESPN; in other years that might have been a more interesting game, but this year the Bulldogs are struggling. Your Game of the Week is #4 Stanford playing at USC on ABC... Stanford still has an outside chance at a BCS title game but USC is resurgent and is coming off three impressive wins.

Being smart about how much water you use every day has never been more important, especially in the drought-ridden West. In some places — such as California and Texas — it may even be the law. One easy way to cut down on water use is with an inexpensive irrigation controller for your current sprinkler system. One of our favorite — and most high-tech — new controllers is Rachio's Iro, which turns your sprinkler system into a remote-control weather machine.
RELATED: Control Your Home Lighting from Anywhere With These Apps
The system is simple to set up and run: We mounted the Iro on the wall next to the existing controller, then ported over each of the eight zone's wires, which is similar to hardwiring audio components. Once you pop on the cover and power it up, you download Rachio's free app. That sends your smartphone's screen flashing in a pattern that, when held to a sensor on the cover, syncs Iro to your network. We expected to see waterworks after that, but had to wait (we mistakenly plugged the white control wire into the wrong port — a fix that was remedied by a quick YouTube search).
RELATED: An App That Keeps Track of Your Grill's Fuel
You could spend a few minutes setting up a profile, naming each zone, and choosing settings. Or do nothing and Iro uses your location to set up a watering schedule that learns over time from your tweaks. It monitors your zip code's weather and sends notifications to let you know, based on the rain coming soon, that it's shutting down the scheduled watering for that day, or vice versa. Rachio also has a water restrictions setting, which is perfect if you're in an area where water conservation is required. And what's really cool: If you have clay soil, tell Rachio that, and it will water in short bursts (say, two 5-minute-long cycles instead of one at 10 minutes), so that the water has time to absorb into the soil, and it wastes less as run-off.
The system can be operated from anywhere; we strolled the yard, smartphone in hand, setting off zones to check for bad sprinkler heads. The only thing we wish it did was notify you about a busted sprinkler head, which wastes gallons of water when it goes off at 5:00 a.m. — though Iro sends monthly reports detailing the system's water usage, so we could eventually figure it out.

Meet Hilary and Rachel - two user-experience (UX) designers who are reshaping education as we know it. Their work and research dives deep into the learning structure to examine the question, "How can our students learn better and more efficiently?"
On the call, Hilary, Rachel, and I talk about how the digital world has created a unique experience where students can learn in an extremely engaging way that allows learning to be incredibly fun, dynamic, and personalized.
We start off by defining what UX exactly is and then explore both low-tech and high-tech designs Hilary and Rachel have examined.
Sir Ken Robinson,in arguably one of the most popular TED talks, speaks about the importance of creativity in a child's education. He argues actually that Schools Kill Creativity, which obviously rustled the feathers of school leaders around the world.
He says that in order for our society to move forward and progress, creative thinking needs to be a central focus in transforming education.
This is the focus of our discussion today and I am so honored that Hilary and Rachel shared their expertise with us.

I go thru Wrightsville on my way to and from work. I often stop there for gas. There's not always a big difference in price. Lancaster Co. is higher than York Co. Not sure why. People living near Maryland line cross to Maryland and pay about $2.40. I often wondered why the difference. Gasbuddy.com shows prices all over the country. At least we don't live in Calif.ReplyDelete

Yes, but if you repeatedly buy gas for a few cents lower, you will always be saving money and those few cents you save keep adding up. Sort of like a 10 cents off coupon at the grocery store. It may be a waste of time and energy to some people, but if you keep using the coupons, those cents add up in savings. It may not be much, but everyone is not rich either.Delete

Unless it costs more to travel to the gas station than what you would save. Have to factor one's time into that as well. I'm not spending 20 mins of my time to save a dollar or 2.Delete

"Curiosity about life in all of its aspects, I think, is still the secret of great creative people." - Leo Burnett
She is witty and graceful, charming and full of life, poised and professional. Pam Chambers is a professional speaker, presentation coach, and corporate trainer. As a woman who has been in business for over 30 years her mission is to help people be the best they can be in how they come across to the world. From dress and language to networking skills and etiquette she is the pro who creates a safe environment for her students to receive helpful feedback to elevate their personal and professional presentation.
As I got to sit and chat with Pam, the one word that sums up our time together is 'vitality'. Motivated by curiosity and taking great pride in accomplishing anything new, even if it's seemingly insignificant, her genuine love of life and exploration is evident in her interest in people and conscious engagement with everything and every one she encounters. The light of living a full and fulfilling life shines from her face as she speaks of enjoying a lifestyle where she is free to create her own reality and pursue the things she values.
No one who listens to her speak would imagine that her greatest weakness was once the exact opposite of what she is now so well know for. Named by Honolulu Magazine as one of Hawaii's 10 Most Admired Women, no one would know that her greatest fear used to be having all eyes on her. She is a beautiful example of the vitality of life rising up to conquer and overcome the limiting agreements of the past and creating a path of power where once was weakness and resistance.
I am greatly inspired to cultivate curiosity and motivated to confront the resistance in any situation I have yet to overcome. Her influence and example is powerful and her presence, joy and vitality is certainly that of an empowered woman who has not been afraid to do the work.

the kubrick
The Kubrick tiny house is a perfect example of our collaborative design process. We only take on one or two houses a year with this level of design because we work so closely with the customer. There was a look and feel that the customer was trying to achieve which led us to try new things and push the boundaries.
The Lykke
Lykke is the Danish word for "happiness". The interior of this 24 ft tiny home on wheels was inspired by the cozy Danish Hygge movement. The owner picked a warm interior gray color to contrast to the cooler blue of the custom cabinets. We are especially excited about how well the Lykke tiny house was nestled into the woods. Click on one of the pictures below to see the full gallery plus pictures that showcase a prime example of how to properly situate and skirt a tiny home for a semi-permanent resting place.
The Lupine
The 32' Lupine has plenty of windows for taking in the view. The second loft has no partition and there are open shelves in the master bedroom up high in the neck of the trailer. These design aspects were meant to give the Lupine a more spacious feel. This house is packed with customization some of it directly from the owner. For the bathroom and kitchen, however, we were given a vision for the look-and-feel they wanted and we brought it to reality. Click the pictures below for a full photo gallery.
The Noah
The 28' Noah blends form and function to create a tiny home that is as beautiful and timeless as it is spacious and livable. The Noah features a main floor bedroom and a unique roofline.
The Silhouette
The 26' Silhouette tiny house balances rustic charm and industrial chic seamlessly and was built with panoramic views in mind.
The Acadia
The 24' Acadia shares some rustic DNA with our original Wind River Bungalow but features a more modern twist on the inside.
This whimsical 30' tiny home offers two spacious loft bedrooms, cat friendly features, lively colors, and complete off-grid capabilities.
The Ironclad
The 24' Ironclad tiny home started out as a hybrid of two of our past builds, The Chimera and The Rook, but ended up taking on a life of it's own.
The Monocle
This 24' tiny home is built 10' wide to accommodate a bed on the main level while still keeping a spacious feel. The bathroom of the Monocle is customized with a transitioning wood base for the bathtub, round window, and wet bath.
The Rook
Industrial, modern, moody and full of custom details. This 22' tiny home has a cantilevered loft, bump out window seat, and full off-grid solar system.
The Mayflower
Maximizing space and combining both a beautiful kitchen and a functional workspace into an elegant 30' home with 2 lofted bedrooms.
The Triton
Unique and budget friendly, this 26' tiny home is made for full-time living, complete with a private office and walk in closet.
THE Chimera
This 24' modern/rustic/industrial tiny house, complete with hybrid solar system, is an amalgamation of styles that blended seamlessly to create a functional masterpiece.
The phoenix
A charred wood exterior with modern vibes and rustic accents is what defines this 32' gooseneck tiny house.
This 32' gooseneck tiny house has a rustic and bohemian vibe
Wind River Bungalow
Our first tiny home and flagship design. this 18' rustic gem (designed, built, and inhabited by Travis) remains one of our most popular tiny houses.

On a sunny weekday morning in a cafe in Brooklyn the French director Gilles Bourdos is flipping through his laptop's gallery of international art. There's a charcoal study of Cézanne card players; Picasso's inkblot Don Quixote, tilting his lance at the Spanish sun; and a blue-hued, Old World fantasy, bearing the kaleidoscopic hallmarks of Marc Chagall.
Many would consider the images art. The authorities considered them evidence. All are from the case file of Guy Ribes, the convicted French art forger whose hands have copied some of the world's great masterpieces and are currently starring in Mr. Bourdos's new movie.
"Renoir," which opens in New York and Los Angeles on Friday, is a highbrow domestic drama, set in 1915. It focuses on Pierre-Auguste Renoir (Michel Bouquet), the giant of Impressionism; his son Jean, the future giant of cinema; and the woman who would become the father's last model and the son's first wife. Writing in The New York Times, the critic Stephen Holden described it as a "gorgeous film" that "visualizes the world as observed by an enfeebled artist who is kept alive by his obsession with how the skin of a beautiful woman absorbs light." In doing so Mr. Bourdos's film tackles one of the more slippery subjects in cinema, the making of art.
Creative genius can be a car wreck, but it's a lot harder to capture on film. Mr. Bourdos was well aware of this and for his own inspiration looked at how two different directors approached another titan of modern art, Vincent van Gogh.
"Vincente Minnelli recreated the work of van Gogh in the look of his film, and its composition," Mr. Bourdos said, referring to "Lust for Life," the Kirk Douglas vehicle of 1956. Moving onto the movie "Van Gogh," he continued, "Maurice Pialat eliminated completely the representations of the paintings in his 1991 film. So what I tried to do was find a third way. I didn't want to use any computer re-creations of the paintings. And I wanted them to be shown being created in the moment."
Enter Mr. Ribes, whom Mr. Bourdos had heard about through art world experts. "He was very well known among the gallery owners," Mr. Bourdos said. "And for good reason. They'd bought his paintings."
To call Mr. Ribes a colorful character is putting it mildly. Born in a brothel to a prostitute mother and a gangster father, he's a former member of the French Foreign Legion and a lifelong devotee of the great painters. Although he created and sold his own work early on, he also provided paintings "inspired" by the masters to a criminal art ring that sold the paintings as genuine.
Rather than copy known work Mr. Ribes would create work that simulated style, paintings that might have been done by Picasso or Chagall or Renoir and, say, languished in a private collection before being made available to gullible buyers. For this Mr. Ribes, at the age of 61, was sentenced to three years in prison, getting out in December 2010.
"I was in a rather precarious situation when this project was proposed to me," Mr. Ribes said by phone from Paris, referring to his post-prison finances. Mr. Bourdos hired him in May 2011 and put him in a studio next to his office, and Mr. Ribes worked for six months on the paintings that appear in the film — not just re-creations of existing Renoirs but also paintings he might have done.
"It was very important for us to do that very intense period of preparation," said Mr. Ribes, who was granted, with Mr. Bourdos, a privileged visit to the Musée d'Orsay's store of Renoirs, many of which are not on regular display in the museum's Paris galleries. He was able to study, more closely than ever, the techniques that make Renoirs Renoirs.
In the film Mr. Bouquet is shown outdoors, a brush in Renoir's bandaged, arthritic hands, putting color to canvas; when the camera cuts to the painting, it is Mr. Ribes's hand applying the paint.
"I found his hand could be directed the same way you direct an actor," Mr. Bourdos said. "When he had to paint a Renoir, he had a very specific way of moving his hand. He had to fall into that rhythm of the painting, so it would be correct." The actions of Mr. Bouquet and Mr. Ribes, of course, had to be coordinated.
"I became his coach," Mr. Ribes said of Mr. Bouquet. "A different coach than Gilles, because he was focusing on the text, and I was making sure the hand gestures reflected mine."
Although many faux Renoirs, 73 in all, appear in "Renoir," the film did not face the copyright issues that have bedeviled other art-oriented movies, like "Basquiat," when an estate won't allow the use of the artist's images and they have to be omitted, or recreated (in the case of Jean-Michel Basquiat's work, by the director, Julian Schnabel). To Mr. Bourdos, Mr. Ribes's paintings give "Renoir" a vitality it could never have achieved otherwise and helped avoid the problems faced by a production like "Surviving Picasso," the Merchant-Ivory film of 1996.
"I wish he'd been around when we were making our film," the director James Ivory said of Mr. Ribes. "We were absolutely forbidden to use anything that Picasso had created, including anything he wrote. I thought it was a sad thing. It would have, visually, been a different film."
Mr. Ivory said he avoided talking to the press about his film's nonuse of real Picassos, thinking at the time it might damage public perception of the movie. Mr. Bourdos, conversely, seems to take joy in Mr. Ribes's contributions.
"He could look at a painting and see the artist's soul, and that's what made him such a good forger," Mr. Bourdos said. "He would have been very much at home as a classical painter, or a Renaissance painter, or in a tradition of painting Madonnas in a church. Renoir saw himself as an artisan. That's Guy's approach as well."
In France Mr. Ribes's profile was enhanced by an interview, after he left prison, with the writer Jean-Baptiste Péretié. They are now collaborating on a book.
"One of the things we'll put at the end is his work on the film," Mr. Péretié said, "and that he'll probably work on other films in the future.
"It's funny, isn't it," Mr. Péretié added, "that the same thing that led to his conviction is what he's being paid legally to do?"
