With temperatures consistently above 110 degrees in June, Arizona offers a warm welcome to those brave enough to visit during the summer months. After your first complaint, Arizona residents are quick to follow up with, "but it's a dry heat." Yes, yes, it is and so is an oven. When you can fry an egg on the sidewalk (which I have done successfully) and listen to your skin sizzle like bacon, you too will agree, it's hot. While this climate can be unforgiving during the day, the desert offers three unexpected reminders that teach powerful lessons on personal growth.
Saguaro Cactus Blossom: There is little else that can compare with a hike through the mountainous desert only to find local wildflowers or better yet, cacti in bloom. Cactus is a prickly plant not unlike many of us from time to time. However, if you are patient and take time to look, once a year, cacti produce beautiful flowers that generally last no more than twenty-four hours. These flowers have a sweet fragrance and along with them provide a reminder that while the plant is covered with dangerous spines, every year it also offers beautiful flowers.
At times, life can be very much like the spines on a cactus. There are challenges we have to face and overcome. Eventually, the lessons we learned along the way offer rewards and a satisfaction that we would never have experienced if it weren't for the struggles. The next time you see a cactus in the middle of the hot desert, just remember that once a year a beautiful flower blooms to remind us that we are stronger because of what we endured.
Creosote Bush: This plant has many characteristics that allow it to adapt to the harsh environment. The creosote bush is common throughout western North America and if you have spent any time in Arizona, you probably saw several of them. The creosote bush is unique because over time it has developed qualities that allow it to outcompete other desert plants given the right opportunities. One of its adaptable characteristics is the ability to grow in various shapes depending on its needs and based on its surrounding.
For example, a creosote bush can grow in a cone shape to allow limited rain water to travel down the center to its core root structure to better absorb moisture. The creosote bush can also grow in an upside-down bowl shape which offers protection to other plants and animals. The plants and animals provide the creosote bush with increased nutrients for the surrounding soil. The second characteristic is less about adaptability and more just my favorite. After a punishing heat, there is nothing more refreshing then a desert rain. The creosote bush contains a variety of oils that produce an intoxicating smell following a monsoon downpour.
Just like the creosote bush, we all need to adapt to our environments. Everyone encounters times when we dream of something more than what we have and it is not selfish. We desire to improve professionally, work harder on personal relationships, or (gasp) focus on bettering ourselves. It requires an honest and humbling look into our own lives and an admission that we are not perfect. The creosote bush is not pretty. It is unassuming and very much looks like a weed. However, it embodies a determination to survive even in the most unpleasant of circumstances. The creosote bush is able to adapt to its environment and thrive because it seeks out opportunities to use what it has to make a positive impact.
Sunsets: Keeping Arizona calendar companies in business one picture at a time. To some people, the desert is beautiful. To others, it is a landscape filled with shades of brown dirt that offers a home to lizards, scorpions, and jumping Chollas (another one of the deserts fun jokes). However, after a long day full of hot sunshine, you can look up and see a desert sky painted in hues of red, orange, and purple. Arizona sunsets offer a healing beauty all their own. Every sunset is different based on the amount of light filtered by the atmosphere and the size of the particles floating around in the air. They are a reflection of the day that is coming to a close.
Sunsets are unique and their coloring is dependent on a variety of external factors. We are much the same way. Our outlook on life, opinions, and perspectives are shaped by external forces and how we process this information. We are all flawed and imperfect. Likely, many of us reflect on our day and can create a list of all the things we could have handled better, approached differently, or responded to more thoughtfully. At the end of the day, the beauty of our lives rests in the reflection we see. We should not strive to be perfect, but we should challenge ourselves to be a better version tomorrow.
Arizona is not my favorite place to live, but it holds some people, experiences, and characteristics that have shaped who I am and would never trade. The desert teaches me new lessons every time I visit. We need to look past the spines to see the flowers, look beyond the weeds to see the refuge, and look through the dust to see the beauty. In the middle of what some consider scorched earth are reminders of the dreams that become realities when the strength of human spirit adapts to a harsh environment and, ultimately, becomes better in the end.
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." ~ Mark Twain
What renews your spirit and makes you better?

Forgiveness, Choices and Taking Care of Yourself
Forgiveness, Choices and Taking Care of Yourself
A Twelve Month Forecast Reading
2015 is shaping up to be a great year! The themes are forgiveness of self, making loved based choices and taking care of yourself! Take a peek to see what's in store from the Angels and Kyle Gray's Angel Prayers Oracle deck in this month by month reading exploring the energy of the coming year.
Honor Your Beauty
So often when we make New Year's resolutions, we vow to fix or change something. Archangel Jophiel is here to remind you that you are beautiful just as you are. Instead of looking to change something, look to enhance your life with healthy food choices, movement, laughter and joy. Make this the best year yet by starting it off with loving choices not critical ones.
Miracle of Prayer
Ask for some help this month. Maybe you're frustrated by the lack of movement towards your goals. Maybe winter has got you down. Either way ask Archangel Sandalphon to help lift up your prayers to the Divine Spirit. You will be amazed at the miracles that occur when you do.
Take Time to Breathe
Take advantage of spring break and find time to relax. Get outside and look for spring plants and shoots. Maybe go on a long weekend somewhere, schedule a day at the spa or read a good book by the fire. Just take time to stop, breathe and smell the flowers
Shine Your Light
Spring is here and it's time dust yourself off and shine your light brightly. Get out and spread your love and light whatever you go. Give out extra smiles to everyone you meet. After all winter is done and spring has arrived!
Manifesting Miracles
Take time to clean house on your thoughts this month because the manifesting energy is through the roof! You only want to manifest positive loved filled things so use affirmations that support that. Looking for a new job or maybe a new path? This is the month to start envisioning what those changes would look like fully developed. All dreams are possible this month so shoot for the stars
Move Your Body
Get out there and get moving. Summer is here and the weather is beautiful, so there's no excuse for you to be hiding out. Your Soul needs movement and now is the time. Take a walk, work in the garden, go to the beach - just get moving!
Take a Step Back
It's time to make sure you are surrounded with loving people and energy. If you find yourself with harsh energies all around you take a step back and get some perspective. There's no need to subject yourself to negativity. Life is too short!
Peaceful Warrior
It's all about staying peaceful and love filled this month. If you feel like you need to stand up for yourself or defend your position take a deep breath and make sure it's coming from a loving place and not an ego filled one. Then find the words that communicate what you need and the other person will listen and be able to actually hear you.
Don't Hate Meditate
Back to school is stressful! Don't get angry and frustrated about all the new demands and schedules. Meditate, do yoga - anything that grounds you and keeps the crankiness at bay.
Healthy Choices
Why wait for the new year when you can start now? Get healthy choices in place before the holidays. You won't feel so down on yourself, when you want to indulge. It takes a while for a new habit to set in, so instead of playing catch up, get ahead of the game.
You are Protected
And Archangel Michael is the guy to do it! As the days get shorter and it gets colder, we can feel like we've been left out in the cold. Ask Michael to wrap his wings around you to help you feel loved, safe and protected. His light will brighten up your month up, but only if you ask
Loved One in Heaven
With the holidays here, we miss our loved ones more than ever. However, they are only a thought away. Take some time in a quiet place to feel those that you miss. Know they are here and we can feel them if we give our selves the time and space to do so.

He came out screaming. They laid him on my chest, and I wept. "You're safe! You're safe!" I kept saying as I blinked through tears to see his beautiful unwashed face and perfectly crafted 6 lb 5 oz tiny form. I was flooded with relief that he was outside of my body and safe in my arms.
The doctor sent us straight to the hospital from my 38 week appointment that morning with concerns that my placenta was detaching. Walt hadn't grown much at all in several weeks, his movement was almost non existent, and his fluid was low. Will (our two-year-old) was with me at that appointment- I wasn't ready- it was earlier than we expected- but my My OB said that it was time for him to come. In God's kindness, my body agreed and went into labor on its own within minutes of arriving at the hospital so that we would be able to adhere to our unmedicated birth-plan. We snapped our last photo as a family of three, dawned the hospital gown, and got the show on the road.
But it wasn't all smooth sailing. I had an episode that looked a lot like a stroke around 5cm. I lost feeling in half of my body, could only say slurred numbers when I tried to form words, and my mouth felt like it did after my wisdom teeth were removed in college. My doula rushed to get the doctor when I stopped making sense while talking to her. Surrounded by concerned and confused medical staff, I looked over at my husband, his eyes filled with tears, and wondered if I might be dying. I was rushed to CT. Since the beginning of this pregnancy after loss, I had fought fears that my body wasn't a safe host for this baby, but I felt it then more than ever.
My feeling and ability to communicate both returned while I was in CT, but my contractions spaced in response to the stress on my body. I skyped with a neurologist from MUSC who guessed that I experienced a hormone induced complex migraine. I was relieved that it wasn't a stroke, but to say I was exhausted from the event is an understatement. After resting for a while, I consulted with my sister, husband, and doula and determined that due to my limited energy, it may be best to try to speed things up a bit. At 8:30pm, my OB broke my water. Contractions began to come more steadily again. I went from 8cm - 10cm in about 40 seconds. I pushed through three contractions, and he was here.
The words I repeated as they laid him on my chest reveal a great deal about how I felt about my child's physical welfare in my womb as opposed to in my arms. But the truth is, as relieved as I was to deliver him, I birthed him into a different kind of danger. He was safe from the fallen state of his mother's body upon delivery, but now would be subjected to the fallen state of her flesh. Inevitably, I will sin against this precious baby, and so as much as I pray that God would use me to draw him to himself, I must continue to pray that God would protect him from me- his sinful caretaker- that he would draw this child to himself in spite of his parent's hypocrisy and shortcomings.
There is no end to the list of dangers we can imagine when we let our minds wander concerning our children. The experience of a lack of bodily control during labor confronted me with the fragility of even my own life- but our assurance of safety for our children is not found in the relative hospitality of our wombs or the security of our arms; our own sense of safety cannot rest in our sense of control or able bodiedness- it must be rooted instead in the certainty that we are "safe" in the will of a good Heavenly Father. He is ultimately concerned with his glory which is explicitly tied to our good- and his plans and promises are certain.
As much as I rejoice to see this child's belly rise and fall as his lungs fill with air while he sleeps beside me even now, my greatest sense of peace is in the grace and goodness of the One who supplies that breath. He knits us together and numbers our days in perfect loving kindness. We are safe in his will. We are kept by his hands. Thanks be to God.

Cote d'Ivoire 2018
Dear friends and supporters,
We are excited to be traveling again on our medical evangelism journey after an 8-month hiatus for reviewing, re-imaging and recuperating. Our hearts are anxious to share the love of Jesus from June 16 – July 1 as we return to work with the Foursquare Church of Cote d'Ivoire. For these 2 weeks we will minister to the Muslim peoples in the northern part of the country, where 93% of the population are under the cloud of Islam. They know no forgiveness, no grace, no hope, no life with Jesus, nor do they know Jesus' love for them.
A church was established in a Muslim village, Kodjovogo where we held a medical clinic in Cote d'Ivoire last year. This Ivorian Foursquare church is healthy and growing. Our hope and expectation is to assist the national church to plant another church body in the NE part of the country.
The Ivorian Foursquare leaders are committed to not only serve their people spiritually but also to serve their physical needs as well. So we go to join them with our medical team to serve the needs of many who have little or no access to medical care and who are spiritually needy as well.
This NW District Medical Team of eleven has 3 providers, 2 nurses, 2 pastors and 4 non-medical clinic support people. Two team members are joining us from Montana, so you can see we have a well-rounded and robust team for the work ahead.
We do count on your continued support and prayers. You are so important to the success of our mission. Please strongly consider joining with us as we go to the town of Bouna, Cote d'Ivoire and 2 nearby Muslim villages. It would be an honor to have you join with us on this mission through prayer. Please let us know soon if you would like to partner with us on this trip so we can send you a prayer calendar to guide your prayers. We treasure our relationship with you in building God's Kingdom.
All our love and His continued blessings, Dan and Rosanne
2017 Niger Trip
Dear Praying Partners,
Thank you so much for your prayers for the Niger mission. God's grace, mercy and protection were very evident as a result of you joining with us in prayer. We joined with national Pastor Omar and several village pastors to share the hope of Jesus in a place where there is so little hope.
900 people were touched by the love of God through medical care. A 20 year old girl with her jaw 3 times normal size and in severe pain from a dental infection came for help. She returned the next day for second injection of antibiotic, so thankful because she had slept for the first time in 3 weeks - the pain was much better, swelling was going down. A year old baby the size of a 2 month old, so weak and lethargic from lack of nutrition - his mother quit breast feeding because she was sick - was supplied with formula and a chance to begin growing again.
A lot of people returned this year who had been seen last year, finding that those who love Jesus are ready to help them even a second time, though they had yet to turn their lives over to Jesus. Some of these prayed this time to receive Jesus in their hearts. Persistence pays off. A total of 165 people prayed for salvation, even in the face of persecution by family and neighbors. God is moving in Niger.
The Foursquare Church of Niamey has doubled in size since our visit a year ago. We had a powerful time of worship, testimony and the word as we fellowshipped with them.
Some great relationships were forged between government officials and the Church of Niger. Over 150 teachers in the area of the Niamey Foursquare Church were given medical care and the blessing of reading glasses. This will impact their lives and also the lives of their students. Some of these prayed to become Christ followers. The Minister of Health for Niger, a representative of the Governor of Niamey, a national senator and the local official who oversees the area of the Niamey Foursquare Church helped to open the clinic in a special ceremony. These muslim officials heard the gospel, a testimony of how Jesus heals and were prayed for in Jesus name.
We saw evidence of the Lord's protection through the local authorities. You remember that 4 US special forces men were killed about 1 week before we left for Niger. The officials provided armed escorts for our travel and stay in the village - they were vigilant with their AK-47's and RPG's (rocket propelled grenades). Each of the soldiers were cared for at the clinic and heard the gospel. The commander was honored at the concluding ceremony at the village and was deeply touched by the love and care we provided him and his soldiers. We know that these were just signs of the protection of the Lord of Angel Armies encamped about us.
God does so much of what we will never see or know until we all meet in eternity. With your prayers we were able to minister in truth and power while feeling protected and safe. Thank you so much for your participation in this mission. Without your work, our work would be much less effective and the trouble we would see would be much greater.
Thank you so much. Your participation is more appreciated than you know.
All our love and His blessings, Dan and Rosanne

You have worked hard to create a great asset - your practice. You have probably planned for all contingencies with life and disability insurance. However, have you planned for the unexpected in regards to your dental practice?
Your practice is a valuable asset for your estate but also a highly volatile one. A practice valuation is an integral piece of information for you and your family in the unfortunate event of death or disability. One step you can take to minimize the impact on your dental practice should the unexpected happen is to have a professional and current practice valuation on file with both your attorney and accountant. As a result, the practice value is established while the business is healthy, there is one less item of business to tend to during a time of tragedy when decisions are often poorly made, and the valuation will have the credibility of being prepared by a recognized professional. Additionally, learning the value of your practice now can facilitate estate and financial planning, partnership agreements, preparing for a future practice merger and coordinating financial arrangements for banking purposes.
We invite you to contact us at your convenience to learn more and to initiate the practice valuation process.
Client Testimonial
"I have never met an expert that was as knowledgeable as you relating to dental practice valuations. You were able to respond to every question asked of you by the attorney. . . Thank you for being a true professional and thank you for being a friend of our client. . . If I ever have client who wants to sell his dental practice, you will be contacted immediately." - Gary M. Bullock

Hugh Jackman Is Coming Back To Broadway, So Start Saving Your Money
This is pretty exciting: Hugh Jackman is coming back to Broadway! That's right — Wolverine, who is also a song and dance man (Les Mis, while it didn't exactly call for dancing, certainly had a lot of singing) will return to the New York mecca of all things theater for the first time since Hugh Jackman: Back On Broadway in 2011. As a theatergoing resident of New York City, I'll say it for the collective audience: We've missed you, Hugh!
Jackman will star in a play by Jez Butterworth called "The River," which enjoyed a successful run in 2012 in London. He'll play a reclusive fisherman who lives in a cabin above a river. His character takes a woman trout-fishing, and then she disappears, and mystery ensues. Another woman shows up, and the fisherman must reconcile with struggles from his past.
Butterworth's most recent play to land on Broadway was Jerusalem , and that was well received, as it won multiple Tonys. Perhaps this will mean another Tony for the host of the theatrical awards show?
Regardless, even if this sounds incredible (and oh, how it does), you'll likely have to pay top dollar to see the show. It will be a limited engagement, running strictly from November 16, 2014 to January 25, 2015, and it will be in a pretty small theater, The Circle In The Square, which means tickets will be even more limited...which means they'll cost a hell of a lot.
Still, if you're a Hugh Jackman fan, and you're yearning to see his acting chops live on stage, this is your opportunity. He always impresses (full disclosure: I saw him host the Tonys live in 2004!) both on stage and on screen, so expect a pretty great piece of theater.

#MondayMantra - Your Personal Brand Mission Control
Why You Need Your Own Website?
This rant is about how you can put ALL the power back in your hands. With all the data out there, you need to do some steps to achieve this and to stand out. This is for the agent who wants to have their own identity and brand, which should be all of you! The more you can say about yourself they more you stand out.
When the internet really began to take hold about 8 yrs ago there was a just a tsunami of digital information. That information isn't slowing down anytime soon, so the question is, "How to make your brand sticky"?
The answer: Own your Personal Brand Mission Control (aka a modern website), something aside from the one your company offers. Everyone looks the same on those.
Take a look at mine which I did on Squarespace (Peterlorimer.com) as a template and then see what else is out there. When you find what you like, then make your own and stand out. This is how you get in control and take ownership of your destiny.
After you put out good content with good stories, then create a media letter for those of your contacts who missed some of your posts along the way… THEN, make sure you have Facebook pixel on every page so that Facebook can collect the data so you can Re-market to people that already like what you are saying. Ultimately, this will improve your sustainability and business.
It's all about having your own brand that you design, create and control. Make your brand stick!
Thanks for Watching

The $13 million Cane Garden, St Thomas police station and court project is on course for on-time completion, according to one of the builders.
Although not stating the completion date, a reluctant construction director Andy Adams told Barbados TODAY the project was about 60 per cent complete.
Adams declined to give further details without approval from the Ministry of Home Affairs.
The St Thomas project, part of a $76 million investment in the upgrading of law enforcement facilities across the country, will see the construction of a civic centre comprising a new police station occupying 11,000 square feet of land and a magistrate's court on 6,000 square feet of land.
Attorney General Adriel Brathwaite had stated in June last year that the ongoing work on the four police stations under the five-year $76 million Citizen Security Facilities Project was on time and within budget.
Brathwaite had given this assessment following a tour of the new Hastings/Worthing police station at Hastings, Christ Church; the new police station and magistrates' court at Cane Garden, St Thomas; the refurbishment of the old barracks at the Central Police Station in Coleridge Street, the City and the renovation of the former Black Rock police station to house the Truth Verification and Family Conflict Units.
"We were given a budget and were told that we would not be receiving any more money other than the $76 million which was the cost of the project. We have to be cognizant that we stay within those lines," he said at the time.
Contractors on the project are ADC Building and Maintenance Ltd, Innotech Services Ltd, Connoisseur Improvement Services Incorporated and Steve's Building Works Ltd.

This article is part of our FanDuel College Football series.
We have hit Week 10 of the college football season and have some handy tools at your disposal for the upcoming FanDuel slates. With all of this information, we aim to arm you as much as possible each week.
Lineup optimizer
Weekly rankings by position
Target share
Team trends
Defense vs. Position
We have 15 games (a season-high total) on the slate this week. With Alabama and LSU slugging it out in Baton Rouge, the over/under takes a hit and ranks among the lowest on the slate at just 54, leaving the Crimson Tide with a season-low 34.3 implied points. That still ranks eighth on a slate featuring 30 teams, so by no means is LSU's defense expected to grind the juggernaut Alabama offense to a halt. Clemson leads the way with a whopping 50 implied points against Louisville, with Oklahoma, Ohio State, Houston and Syracuse rounding out the teams expected to drop 40-plus this weekend. The biggest over/under of the week belongs to the Oklahoma-Texas Tech game, so it may behoove you to get a piece of both teams in your lineup Saturday.
A full picture of some key statistical categories can be seen in the table below:
Note: All stats are opposing defense. Plays/G are teams combined
YPA=Yards Per Attempt
Without further adieu, the following are some of the players I may target in the main slate this week.
Elite ($9,600+)
Eric Dungey, Syracuse (at Wake Forest), $10,200
Dungey got back on track last week against NC State, posting 411 passing yards and three touchdowns along with 32 yards and a rushing score after three consecutive performances notching approximately 20 points apiece. Wake Forest should present another opportunity for a big showing from Dungey, who should be able to take full advantage of his dual-threat abilities against a Demon Deacons defense surrendering 5.1 touchdowns per game overall this season and 2.6 on the ground.
Secondary Picks: Kyler Murray, Oklahoma ($10,600), Taylor Cornelius, Oklahoma State ($9,900),
Mid-Tier ($8,600-$9,500)
Sam Hartman, Wake Forest (vs. Syracuse) $8,800
While he doesn't possess as much rushing upside as Dungey, Hartman has a number of weapons to turn to against a Syracuse defense that surrenders 266 passing yards (7.5 yards per attempt) on the season. With top target Greg Dortch finally 100 percent and a Louisville team on the schedule whose defense sits on par with Syracuse, Hartman returned to form and posted 27.5 FanDuel points last week. In what figures to be a close shootout, Hartman should have a chance to near 30 during Saturday's contest.
Secondary Picks: Brock Purdy, Iowa State ($9,500), Trevor Lawrence, Clemson ($9,300)
Bargain Bin (<$8,600)
Ben Hicks, SMU (vs. Houston) $7,700
Hicks has posted a pair of strong performances against Tulane and Cincinnati since he retook the starting job under center, throwing for a combined 619 yards and five touchdowns. He should be forced to toss the rock again consistently this week against a Houston team that can light up a scoreboard. Houston has surrendered 324.8 passing yards per game, providing Hicks with a perfect opportunity to near the 300-yard mark through the air for a third straight week.
Tournament pick: Feleipe Franks, Florida ($8,400)
Running Back
Elite ($9,000 and up)
Travis Etienne, Clemson (vs. Louisville) $10,100
One of the more obvious plays of the weekend takes place in Clemson, with the Tigers being the only team this week expected to total 50 points on the week. Louisville surrenders a slate-high 250.6 rushing yards and 2.8 rushing touchdowns per contest this season, and Etienne, who has been limited to less than 50 yards each of the last two weeks, is ready to return to the top. Everything sets up perfectly for him to rack up the points before perhaps sitting out some of the second half if the Tigers take the lead as expected.
Secondary Pick: AJ Dillon, Boston College ($9,800), Justice Hill, Oklahoma State ($9,300)
Tournament Pick: Devine Ozigbo, Nebraska ($9,000)
Mid-Tier ($7,500-$8,900)
J.K. Dobbins, Ohio State (vs. Nebraska) $8,700
Coming off a pair of down weeks that have lowered his price tag, Dobbins catches a Nebraska defense giving up 4.5 yards per carry and 2.4 rushing touchdowns per game this season. Although Mike Weber generally factors in for the Buckeyes as well, Dobbins remains the clear leader in the backfield and should find plenty of room to run against the Cornhuskers on Saturday.
Secondary picks: Matt Colburn II, Wake Forest ($8,100)
Bargain Bin (<$7,500)
Damarea Crockett, Missouri (at Florida) $6,800
Crockett continues to share workload and post outings similar to that of Larry Rountree III, but a price gap of $1,100 remains between them this week. While the matchup doesn't top the board, Florida does surrender 4.2 yards per carry and 166.4 rushing yards per contest on the campaign. Crockett should have a chance to carry some value at $6,800 as a result.
Tournament play: Isaiah Bowser, Northwestern ($7,000)
Wide Receiver
Elite ($9,000 and up)
Marquise Brown, Oklahoma (at Texas Tech) $9,500
Brown wasn't on the field last week to begin the game and seemed to be a little banged up last week against Texas Tech. Another week of healing should put him in a good position to return to his normal self Saturday, and a juicy matchup with Texas Tech at a price tag that ranks him seventh among receivers may be too savory to pass up. The Red Raiders surrender more than two touchdowns and 283.4 yards per game through the air, boosting Brown's prospects as a deep-threat wideout.
Secondary pick: Greg Dortch, Wake Forest ($9,000)
Mid-Tier ($7,500-$8,900)
Reggie Roberson Jr., SMU (vs. Houston) $8,100
Although he got off to a slow start this season, Roberson has moved into centerpiece territory in the last couple of weeks, hauling in 14 of his 31 targets for 246 yards and three touchdowns in the two games since Ben Hicks regained his starting job. In a game that should feature the Mustangs trailing early and often, look for Roberson and the passing game to be in full effect against a Houston defense allowing 324.8 passing yards per game.
Secondary Picks: T.J. Vasher, Texas Tech ($8,400), Nykeim Johnson, Syracuse ($7,800)
Bargain Bin (<$7,500)
Tarik Black, Michigan (vs. Penn State) $5,800
Black has missed every game thus far this season after breaking his foot just before the season started, but he's reportedly practiced in full this week and is expected to return to the lineup. While there could be some concerns regarding his timing with Shea Patterson, he did practice with him nearly all of fall camp and has done so this week as well, and Black's talent far exceeds the $5,800 price tag.
Secondary Pick: Jeremy Singleton, Houston ($5,900)

The Craft: Eva Recinos, Social Media Manager at LACMA
Happy 72°F Friday! Welcome to the The Craft, Novella's monthly series where we converse with women (like you!) and highlight the thoughtful, analytical, and creative methods behind the work we do. Scroll down to find out more about Eva, a freelance art writer and social media maven for one of the biggest museums on the West Coast.
Want to be featured? Email us at email@example.com to tell us about your Craft.
What is your name and what do you do? (Links welcome!)
My name is Eva Recinos and I'm the social media manager at LACMA, the largest encyclopedic museum on the West Coast. I'm responsible for the content that goes up on our channels and for keeping an eye on our mentions. I'm also a freelance writer with a focus on art writing, specifically on POC creatives. When I'm not writing about art, I am working on memoir pieces or personal essays.
Take us through 24 hours of your day in 4 sentences.
I wake up and check notifications on both the LACMA and my personal accounts (I spend a lot of time on my phone). It's about an hour to hour and a half commute to work so I read, write or listen to podcasts on the way.
During the day, I'm in meetings and creating/scheduling content to go up on the channels. Once I get home, I check notifications and email for a couple more hours and maybe work on an essay or send a new pitch.
Tell us one or two ways you practice self-care amid the workflow, whether your outlet is creative, therapeutic, or methodical.
I'm trying to read as much as possible — it really helps to spark my creativity and get me out of my head. I also tend to meditate before bed to help my mind stop racing. As someone with depression and anxiety, I have to keep an eye on basic things like taking my medication, getting enough sleep and eating well.
What do you do to sharpen your craft or hone in on your skills?
For social media, I'm constantly online. I like finding new accounts and seeing what other people are doing. I pay close attention to what engages me personally, so I can think of how to reproduce that feeling for our followers.
For my writing craft, I read pieces from writers I truly admire. And actually, being a strong writer helps with social media since it's all about making an impact in a short amount of characters (even with the new 280 character Twitter feature).
You're taking off for the vacation/staycation of your dreams: what does your Out of Office message say?
"I'll probably check my email once in a while but I'm trying really hard not to k thanks."
Sound like something you want to be a part of? Contact us at email@example.com with your name, what you do, and a little bit of the how, and we'll be in touch with more information. Reach out, we're listening.

We traversed the Wallowas, Bitterroots and Pioneer Range spanning across Oregon, Idaho and Montana. Often, we had to change hiking routes and trip plans because of the many fires raging that those ranges. We were challenged with with daily creative projects, deep plays and reading assignments to inform our sense of place and art practice.Read More

I recently took a trip to the mall, a place I am familiar with. I use to spend my Saturday's there sifting through racks and buying things because they were cute and in style. As we made our way past stores I'd spent hours in, down the halls filled with people hunting for their next new thing, I started to feel ill. If you are a frequent visitor here on Makeshift, you've be a part of the journey I've gone on to lessen our load of belongs. A few weeks ago, I sent a large suitcase full of my old clothes and shoes to Spain for some distant family members. The girls who received them asked my aunt, why I would have gotten rid of them. My aunts response, "that's just what people do in America"
It's true. I did that. I use to spend all my spare change from my 50 hr work week on clothes, shoes, and accessories for myself and pillows, baskets and little knickknacks for my house. I'd buy a new chapstick because mine was half empty. I rarely wore the same outfit twice and never did if it was fancy. As I made my way through the mall, thinking about all the purchases I've made over the years and how they've ended up trashed or donated, I realized I hate this way of living. As extreme as that sounds, it's the only word I have to describe my frustration with the consumer industry. The styles change and shift so quickly it's nearly impossible to keep up and while I don't hate the humans who enjoy the process of keeping up with the latest, I have to remove myself from it.
1. One of the ways I've enjoyed stepping back, shopping less, is by slowing down. Not making quick decisions. Before, I'd walk into a story, pick my favorite dress and walk out with it. Now, I look at dress I like and for weeks ponder if I want it. I just bought a new red bathing suit, I thought about buying it for a full year. A little trick I use has been the Laundry Lists I make with Maddie. We collect some things we are interested in and let them soak in so we can make a better effort in purchasing for our needs over our wants. You can see our Laundry Lists here.
2. Another thing I've been doing is researching and finding a company or brand I trust and purchasing from them for specific needs. Like earrings, a new make-up bag, or tampons. You can find my list of go to shopping here. (There might be some little treats over there for you too!)
This isn't my way of convincing you to consume less. I am not the judge of how much feels like too much for you. There are people out there who don't buy anything in or with plastic. I'm not at that level and I might never be. This is just one step I am taking to bring in less. I picture it like a diet. I don't eat dairy because I can't, that doesn't mean you shouldn't. Please do! If I eat pizza and ice cream I will get sick. If I buy a new outfit every week (like I use to) I will feel full. There is a difference between full and satisfied, and that difference is different depending on the person. So I am on the diet I am on because it's what works for me right now. Consuming less and becoming more conscious about where what I consume comes from.

WATCH: Rain or Shine three-point party in Game 2!
James Yap needed just one triple to tie Dondon Hontiveros at No. 4 in the list of PBA players with the most career three-pointers made.
But practically the entire Rain or Shine team went on a three-point shooting spree as the Elasto Painters torched a tired Magnolia Pambansang Manok team, 93-80, for a commanding 2-0 lead in their PBA Philippine Cup best-of-seven semifinal showdown at the Smart Araneta Coliseum Sunday.
The other ROS gunners made their connections early as the E-Painters took the half at 50-41 before Yap got his needed conversions from the arc to eventually move past Hontiveros in the elite list.
Yap drilled in two treys in the second half to up his career total to 1,138. Up next for the two-time MVP winner is a chase to jump past Ronnie Magsanoc (1,171) at No. 3. Way ahead at No. 1 and No. 2 are Jimmy Alapag (1,250) and Allan Caidic (1,242).
But more importantly for Yap and the E-Painters was a follow-up to their 84-77 conquest of Magnolia in the series opener Friday.

Heating mats for seed germination have become a necessity for the modern day farmer. And this is with good reasons.
A good heat mat will speed the rate of seed germination thus reducing time, stimulate root growth and also increase the total output of the seedling germination overall increasing productivity.
The other major advantage of using seed heat mats while germinating your seeds is that, you can germinate your seeds during winter or germinate them indoors. This is an important attribute to consider especially for indoor farmers that want to grow their herbs and vegetables throughout the year.
There are many different types of seed heat mats in the market today and generally they are quite affordable, more so when you consider the cost vis a vis the benefits.
If you are an hands on person and don't mind doing the work, then you can also easily construct your own heat mat.
Have a look at this video and be the judge.
Nevertheless if you want to concentrate on your core objective i.e farming then check out our review on the top rated heat mats for seed germination.
As the name suggests, this germination station comes with a heat mat, thus one price for two, to the benefit of the consumer.
The one thing I like about the jump start CK64050, is that not only does it give you full control of successful germination of your seeds, it's also not expensive to operate. This is because it has low wattage of 17 watts thus the impact on the electricity bill is negligible.
The germination station has a water tight tray with 2" humidity dome while its heat mat is 'UL listed and is water proof.
If the other winter greenhouse heating solutions are failing your seedlings, this greenhouse germination station could be the one to make a difference.It has one of the highest rated heat mats in the market, a tray and a convenient 2" dome.It's good not only for heating but also humidity control
With it, you have more than a fair chance of growing and sustaining your garden.Here you get a waterproof heat mat, a 2" humidity dome, a watertight base tray, and a 72-cell seedling insert. It offers a comprehensive solution to your greenhouse planting and heating efforts.
Yet another of efficient greenhouse heating methods, this performs exceptionally well in holding the temperature at a level conducive for plant growth.
It's strengthened with an alloy nikrothal heating cable and an extra film insulation to ensure that it won't scorch your roots.
It also produces revitalizing dew which goes a long way to help crops grow in a humid environment.
This is one of the few 5-star rated greenhouse heating pads.
It manages to consistently maintain temperatures at approximately 10-20 above the existing air temperature- perfect for germination!
The Super Sprouter Premium Heated Kit is an all-in-one greenhouse heating set with a grow light and heating mat.
It's known to produce immediate results.
So, your seeds or cuttings will warmly embrace growth as they enjoy tender care from the combination of the grow light and the heat mat.
An effective all-in-one greenhouse growing kit, this Super Sprouter Premium Heated Kit makes your seeds to quickly shoot up and thrive.
The heating mat combines very well with the grow light to ensure your plants survive unscathed.
Featuring a digital temperature thermostat, this allows you to set the optimum temperatures for each crop.
And it will then maintain these temperatures till your seedlings attain desired growth.
It has a durable construction, its waterproof and can work almost everywhere- greenhouses, indoor gardens, and nurseries.
The Garden Smart seedling heat mat specifically targets the root area and does an excellent job of ensuring proper germination
Its digital thermostat allows you to set and maintain the ideal temperature for each plant.
To germinate well, your plant roots must also be warmed. Greenhouse heating mats –also known as heating pads- are a cheaper and a more convenient option as they specifically target the roots.

What have I done? I should have been weight training, not walking.
Dry weight for travel, the pack is currently 10.479 kg (23lb roughly to me)
So once I'm wearing gaiters, Tilley etc. and using my poles, it brings it down (??!!) to 10.282 kg. (22 lb roughly)
But then, of course, I'll have water on board instead, so there'll be little difference.
(Actually, I've done the sums from my kit spreadsheet. I live in hope that the spreadsheet is inaccurate…)

If you have a fantastic idea you can gross it up with profits and make a fortune, beginning with a small online home business. It's better to be a dreamer (not a day dreamer) and realize the dreams steadily.
And you don't need convince anyone about your home business plans. The more you try to convince them it's real the less they would believe. So I don't. Makes no sense to jump up and down telling someone how much money you are or will be making, if they aren't ready to believe that's possible for them.
And if you are starting, you need to answer: Are you willing to let others teach you how to make your home business successful? The best way to achieve success with any of the home based business opportunities is to learn from someone who has already become successful. There are many books, blogs, and websites talking about this subject successfully.
So, for instance, if you are starting your home business, a great book to read is "The Lean Startup". You might want to read some marketing blogs and attend a class about product design and launch, too.
And while your business is yours and you can do it as you wish, be careful, because it's human nature to complete the easy work first or what that do not really achieve the real results. This is the greatest enemy to your current success. Do solely actions of which move you near your goals.

MEET Socrates the chubby moggy, who until today was known as Britain's fattest cat.
Now the proud puss has been declared the best feline weight-watcher in the North East.
Earlier this year, Socrates ballooned to a whopping 22lbs (10 kilos) after his owner Bill Duncan fed him a diet of crisps, cheese and other tit-bit treats.
Mr Duncan, of North Shields, says he also gave him far too much regular pet food before the moggy's size spiralled out of control.
And when vets declared Socrates double his recommended size, Bill decided something had to be done.
So the portly pet was signed up for a national pet slimming competition – a 100-day diet and fitness programme called The Pet Fit Club Challenge.
The plan was a success, and yesterday it was revealed Socrates has lost 3 lb (1.5kg) - or 14% of his body weight.
And the new-look trimmer pussy is enjoying a new lease of his nine lives after being declared the runner-up in the national weight-loss scheme, run by vets' charity PDSA.
Bill, 52, said: "It's probably been much harder for Socs than it has for me.
"Sometimes he'll follow me into the kitchen and sit by his bowl meowing. That was difficult to ignore, but I stuck to the feeding advice and didn't give in. Not giving him treats on Christmas Day also felt a bit mean but I knew I was doing it for his benefit."
Elaine Pendlebury, a senior vet who worked with Socrates during his diet, said: "Socs has done really well in the competition and the change in him is fantastic.
"Helping a cat lose weight is complicated and needs to be done very carefully.
"Because of the unique way cats metabolise fat, if weight is lost too quickly it can lead to liver failure, which can prove fatal. It has to be a slow, controlled process. Pet obesity is an ongoing problem and worry, but all of this year's finalists are a great example of what can be achieved and we hope this will inspire others to make a positive change to their pets' lifestyle."
Bill earlier explained how easy it was to fall into the slippery cycle of feeding his pet unhealthy tit-bits: "With the cheese and crisps he would sit there staring at me so I would break off a little bit and throw it to him.
"My girlfriend stopped me doing that. She said if you keep doing that you're going to have a begging cat, so I stopped. I just didn't realise I was doing anything wrong at the time."

It lies roughly between 80° and 90° most the time It is bordered by Sri Lanka and India to the west, Bangladesh to the north, and Myanmar and the northern part of the Malay Peninsula to the east. Also it just a good place to go to play in sand and just have fun
The Dead Sea has the lowest elevation and is the lowest body of water on the surface of Earth. The Dead Sea is situated between the hills of Judaea to the west and the Transjordanian plateau it's despite its name pretty lively full with people also it's just gorgeous and looks amazing
I hope you enjoyed their travel website and all places in it we had The Himalayas all the way to the Dead Sea so thank you for reading good bye

EVANSTON, Ill. - Kevin Gschwendtner and Sergio Villalobos each collected victories Saturday in SIUE's 36-7 loss at Northwestern.
"We went into a tough environment today," said SIUE Head Coach Jeremy Spates.
It was the first of two weekend matches against Big Ten opponents. SIUE next travels to Wisconsin, which previously came to the Cougar Classic earlier this season.
SIUE, 2-12, gave up bonus points to Northwestern, which used Senior Day to improve to 5-10 overall.
"Kevin and Sergio wrestled well, but I think we could have been much better as a team," said Spates.
Gschwendtner picked up a bonus point for the Cougars at 174 pounds, dispatching Northwestern's Braxton Cody 16-5. Villalobos followed up with a 4-2 decision over Brendan Devine at 184 pounds.
Northwestern 36 SIUE 7

Recipe: Zero Peppermint Chocolate Meringue Cookies
It's Halloween time! Nightmare before Christmas is one of my favorites this time of year. In fact, I've made something inspired by this movie before, but with so many fun characters in Halloweentown I knew I could probably come up with another.
I decided to make something in the shape of Zero, Jack's loyal & adorable ghost doggy, because I'm always a sucker for when scary meets cute. I've seen a lot of meringue ghosts made this time of year, and when I was researching ways to shape meringue cookies I discovered that meringue swans are a common dessert - made by piping two halves of a swan body, a head with a long neck, and sticking them all together like a sandwich around ice cream or custard. Why not make a ghost dog the same way?
It can take a little practice to get the head shape right on these, but the body is pretty simple, since it's basically a white sheet (Zero is an old-school ghost dog). Instead of ice cream or custard, I decided to fill these meringue sandwiches with dark chocolate ganache to make them a little easier for sharing at a party, but I still recommend serving as soon as possible after assembling, lest your meringue lose its crispiness because of the moisture from the ganache.
Meringue Cookies
1 cup superfine sugar (you can also blitz regular sugar in a blender/food processor for a few seconds if you don't have any on hand)
4 egg whites, room temperature
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
pinch of salt
1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
Preheat oven to 250°F. Whisk the egg whites on medium speed until frothy. Add the cream of tartar and salt, then the sugar 1 tablespoon at a time until fully incorporated. Add the peppermint extra and increase speed to high, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
Transfer some of your meringue batter to a piping bag and snip off the end to make a medium-sized hole to pipe the body. Remember to make 2 mirror sides to each body you pipe. With another meringue-filled piping bag, snip off a smaller opening and pipe the shape of Zero's head. Don't forget to include a long neck, which will not be visible on the finished cookie, but will be sandwiched between the two sides of the body to hold the head in place.
Bake your cookies for about 1 hour, until firm, then turn your oven off and allow the cookies to cool inside the oven for several hours or overnight.
Cookies can be made up to 5 days in advance, and kept in an air-tight container.
Chocolate Ganache
1 bag dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips (10 oz.)
1 cup heavy cream
Set the chocolate chips in a heat-proof bowl. Bring the heavy cream to a simmer, then remove from heat and pour hot cream over the chocolate. Allow the cream to melt the chocolate for 2 minutes, then whisk until smooth. Chill the ganache for about 30 minutes, then use a hand mixer to beat until thick and fluffy. Transfer to a piping bag and snip off the end.
For Assembly
1 cup chocolate chips
a few drops orange food coloring
a few drops red food coloring
Decorate zero's head by melting the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 15 second increments, stirring after each time until melted and smooth. Transfer the chocolate to a piping bag and snip off a small opening on the end. Pipe on the eyes and smile for the heads. With a clean, small pastry brush, paint the nose orange and the collar red.
Transfer your chocolate ganache to another piping bag and snip off a larger opening. Spread the ganache on the underside of one of your cookie bodies. Set the head in place by pushing the neck into the ganache. Pipe a bit more ganache on the other side of the neck, then use your mirror cookie body to create a cookie sandwich. Do be careful when pressing the sandwhich halves together - meringue cookies can be very delicate. Sit your Zero up to make sure he's balanced.

Fresh hell in the fifth grade/
Fifth grade was a year on the fringes. Everyone got nicknames that year (Mine was 'Dra, what an unfortunate nickname). The inside jokes ran rampant. We had sex ed. Our skin was starting to freak out, our moods swung back and forth like erratic pendulums. We memorized Color Me Badd lyrics as we danced around stocking footed in our Umbro shorts. Confusing times. That was the same year the boys in my class stashed a girlie magazine in the boys' bathroom. Catholic school bore down on this discovery. The boys from the 3 fifth grade classes were hauled off to--we were not told where. I thought maybe to do some kind of chore, like picking up trash in the baseball fields as punishment for being smart alecs.
Instead they were taken to the church rectory where Father Tony lived. I learned later that Fr. Tony had a heart-to-heart session with 45 boys about the matter of the birds and bees.
At the time, I had thought. Oh, good. Man-talk. Holy confession without the penance. That's nice. The girls got to play Mum's the Word with a koosh ball and ate Sweet Tarts that Miss Mather had stashed in her desk drawer.
But some twenty years later, all I can think is: Fr. Tony should have gotten Sweet Tarts for life.
Where is the justice? That poor priestman! He took vows of poverty and chastity and has to wear an unattractive collar all day and live right next to his workplace and what does this man with huge hands and very large glasses get in return?
What, I ask you??
He gets 45 hormonal rageballs over at his home in the middle of the week asking questions about the mechanics of boom-chicka-bow-wow. And nobody slipped him a tip or sent in any reinforcements.
There is a special place in Heaven for Fr. Tony. I don't think they allow fifth graders to visit. Not for all of eternity.

Some people compare their websites to a welcome mat for their business. I don't know about you, but my welcome mat doesn't really do anything besides collects dirt and leaves – pretty much the opposite of what I want my website to do. I think of my homepage more as a cocktail party (fun, right?). It's where people wander up to when they're interested and want to know more about you. They're there to get the scoop. They are warming up to you and the idea of working with you. So, it's crucial that their first experience is a good one. Your homepage – what they see when they land on your website – really counts.
People decide whether they like your website or not in as little as 0.05 seconds.
Crazy, right? It's highly important to include the right information, not MORE information, to be sure you get them hanging out at least slightly longer than that .05.
If someone is immediately turned off by your site, they won't absorb a drop of your information... and you've got some important stuff to say!
This moment is the tipping point where you can begin converting your "cocktail party goers" into clients and customers.
Here are the 5 essential features you need on your homepage.
1. A headline and hook.
You want the RIGHT copy, not MORE copy. In your hero space, include a clear headline and hook.
Your headline will tell people about your offering – what it is, who it's for, and what problem it solves.
The hook is benefits-driven – what they can expect when they work with you or purchase your product.
2. A call-to-action.
This generally comes right after the headline and hook. It's the next actionable step the user should take.
People want to know exactly what to do when they get to your homepage. We thrive when told the clear next step.
It should relate directly to the headline and hook. Think instant gratification.
Examples: "Book your consult call" or "Sign up for my free guide".
3. More about you.
People are so over brands and so into people. We're naturally curious and instinctually want to know more about the people that were interacting with. We want to meet the people behind the brand.
You can capitalize on this by sharing a little information about yourself – include a photo of yourself (I know, I know) and a short bio (nothing too in-depth, but enough so that they've got an idea who you are and feel connected to you).
This will jumpstart the like know trust cycle.
4. Social proof.
This one is key – and so many people miss it.
People want to work with people who they can trust, who they know they will get results from, because others have too. Offering social proof eases people's nerves.
For me, this is the first thing I look for on the website when I'm considering making an investment.
Even for a pair of yoga pants, I want to read a review before I make the purchase. I don't care about what the brand is saying about their pants, I want to know what my peers are saying about their pants.
Social proof can come in the form of testimonials, a list of publications you've been published in, accolades, or pull quotes.
5. An opt-in form.
This when they give you their email address in exchange for a valuable freebie (ex. PDF guide, downloadable video tutorial, checklist, etc.).
The bottom line: when people go to your website, you want to be getting their information. They're a warm audience, meaning that there already interested in you and slightly familiar with your services. They've taken the time to go to your website, so they're already somewhat invested. You want to know more about them.
If going to your website is having happy hour with someone, converting them to your email list is inviting them over for Thanksgiving Dinner. It's the ultimate.
This is where the real connections happen – these are your people, this is your tribe, invest in them.
- Headline and hook that are benefits-driven
- A call-to-action
- About you
- Social proof
- Opt-in form
Take a look at your website... do you have all these things? What are you missing? What are you stuck on? Let me know in the comments.
P.S. I'm hosting both an in-person (Grand Rapids, MI) and online DIY Your Website Workshop in December. Space in both is limited and WILL sell out, so if you're interested, move your buns!

Robert John Downey, Jr. Net WorthReal Name: Robert John Downey, Jr.
Date of Birth: 04/04/1965
Place of Birth: Manhattan, New York
2019 Net Worth: $190 Million
2018 Earnings: $75 Million
Profession: Actor, producer, singer, comedian
Robert Downey, Jr. Biography
Robert Downey, Jr., was born in 1965 in Manhattan, New York. His father is an actor and filmmaker, his mother also an actress. Downey grew up in the Greenwich Village area of New York. Downey states that he was surrounded by drugs growing up, his father even allowed him to smoke marijuana when he was only 6 years old.
Downey had small parts in his father's films beginning at 5 years of age. Downey was living in England at the age of 10, studying classical ballet. He attended Stagedoor Manor Performing Arts Training Center in New York as a teenager and when his parents divorced in 1978, Downey moved to California with his father. He dropped out of high school in 1982 and returned to New York to pursue an acting career.
Downey became a young star in the 1980's, staring in films such as Less Than Zero and Chances Are, and at 27, he was nominated for his portrayal of Charlie Chaplin in the 1992 movie Chaplin. Unfortunately, soon afterwards, Downey became known for things other than acting, including numerous arrests for drug and alcohol abuse. He spent a short time in jail in 2000 and was arrested twice in 2001.
Downey pulled himself together, however, and made a comeback no one expected. After showing that he could stay clean and sober by performing in a number of small films, Downey hit the jackpot as Iron Man in 2008. Downey's popularity as Iron Man has led to some of Marvel Comic's greatest hits including The Avengers, which is the third highest grossing film of all time. Film critics agree that it is Downey's portrayal of Iron Man that made Iron Man 3 the highest grossing movie of 2013.
Downey has a current net worth of $190 million and with many more films in the works, it appears that he will increase his bank account by many millions more before he is through.

Softness vs. Flexibility/
Some people may be thinking, "my muscles are already too soft."Â This, however, is unlikely to be the case for anyone who has even a mildly active life. What is more likely is that there are parts of one's body that are very soft and other parts which are rigid- a muscle imbalance problem not a softness problem. Softness is a problem when paired with rigidity or when there is so much deficiency in the underlying structure that the muscles no longer function. The development of true strength is aided by softness and built on underlying structure. (What we sometimes call jing.)

Entrepreneur / The Tipping Point
The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference
The Tipping Point is that critical moment when the progress of an idea, trend, epidemic or social behavior crosses a threshold, tips and spreads like wildfire. The phenomenon described in this book will change the way you think about your ideas, your business and your journey to success.
In life, it's normal for anyone to get a feeling that s/he wants to give up after investing a lot of effort, time and money without seeing the expected returns. This book points out another perspective to consider which may boost your confidence to keep marching forward. Since uncertainty often occurs among entrepreneurs, we highly recommend this book to those who go after the business idea that has a possibility of going viral. And the next book I would recommend reading is: The 10X Rule by Grant Cardone

Residency launch (plus cookies)
On October 4, Emilie Baltz and I kicked off our 14-week joint residency with the VFL. We are very excited to combine our areas of passion and expertise–mine is electronics and data, and hers is food and the senses–to create new experiences.
For our residency, we have proposed an exploration around the "Z-space" or what we describe as the route from hand to mouth. So much of traditional food experience takes place on the flat X-Y plane that makes up the horizontal food presentation surface. What can we do to explore this third dimension? And how can we use new methods of food creation and service to exploit this part of the food experience? We led in to these questions by first delving in to the past and explaining the paths that have led to the creative practices we have today.
Our presentation culminated in a creative exercise which we asked our audience at the VFL to take on. Each person was given a chocolate chip cookie and asked to come up with a new way to experience eating it. In just a few minutes, people broke into groups and emerges with a wide variety of solutions including the following:
- Blindfolded eating experiences
- Contraption to suspend cookies from a bar, like a swing
- Cookie blended milkshake
- Methods for enjoying the cookie scent
- Spinning cookie delivery system
- Group cookie consuming hug
- Way to simultaneously heat (melted chocolate) and cool (the other parts) the cookie
- Methods for pulverized cookie making and eating
We loved the energy in the room as well as the creative thinking that emerged and realized that activities such as these will have to become a part of our residency work on a regular basis, so we look forward to planning the next one soon.

The blue dress in the middle is screaming for me to make it up in some kind of cheery spring fabric. Do I need to go shopping? Nah, a dig through my stash and I'll come up with something!
I've been thinking a lot about my wardrobe lately, especially after packing for this trip and realizing everything I brought was either black, grey, or white. That's fine for mixy-matchy work clothes but I think it's time to step it up a bit and jump out of the costuming box and back into the "I love clothes!" box for a while. Of course I love modern clothes as much as I love the historical stuff but lately I think I've been far too dependent on jeans, yoga pants, and t-shirts since I work from home so much. My new goal is to mix it up! There are soooooooo many cute skirts/dresses/pants/tops/blouses in my pattern stash waiting for my attention that sometimes I forget what I've got stashed away. Time to dig out all of those patterns and come up with a wardrobe plan of action, starting with the cute little number above. Stay tuned for more on Revamp 2010!

"Reframing Classical Music"
The New Brunswick Chamber Orchestra performs music that we think matters, whether it was written in the Middle Ages or sometime next year, in the heart of Old Europe or the new conservatories of East Asia.
Formed in 1960, the group has gradually evolved into a professional ensemble of 16 to 26 musicians that tackles some of the biggest assignments possible for chamber orchestras. We're as comfortable performing works such as Handel's "Messiah" and Copland's "Appalachian Spring" as we are with John Adams' "Shaker Loops" or Piazzolla's "Four Seasons". We really love working with composers, and at almost every performance, you can be guaranteed you'll hear something new.
Tickets $25, 18 and under $10

I have been scanning many old transparencies from 30 to 40 years ago. My set up is faster than using the traditional film scanners. I have a Canon 5DMk2 on a bellows extension using a Rodenstock 75mm D series process lens that is designed for 1:1 copy work. I use a continuous 5000K light source. I set the lens aperture at it's best aperture f5.6.5 and never change that setting. I use the camera's metering system to get my exposure. The camera is hooked up to my computer and using CaptureOne software I can see the enlarged images immediately along with the histogram. The images are in the RAW format for best editing and image correction if needed. Here are some of the images I scanned today. I can also copy slides that are underexposed or that have very high contrast and take 6 different exposures and process them through HDR software and get some amazing results. Here are three before and after slide copies that have been run through the HDR process. Unlike digital files the transparencies have a lot of detail in the shadows with no noise artifacts.
