Hello everyone! Sam Martino here.
So I mentioned last time that building a portfolio is necessary, but where do you start?
There are many ways to go about this, but it really depends on what part of the industry you are focusing on. This is more tailored towards the production side; this does not really apply to those trying to work administratively.
If you are going into 3D modeling, concept art, or any of the "artistic" fields, the best bet is to start regularly posting on www.artstation.com. What you post does not have to be for a game project, they can be random objects or concepts that demonstrate your grasp of how these programs work. For example, I would happily take an environment designer if they are able to show that they understand how to model beautiful scenes or conceptualize a fantasy environment.
If you are going into programming, it is best to show off and share unique concepts you have been able to get working. Now when I say unique I mean things that would be considered complex. If you have created an AI that can properly track and search for hidden characters, that is something worth sharing.
Now writing is a bit more difficult because there aren't very many quick ways to show off what you can do. But, there are many outlets you can post your writing samples to build your portfolio. If you can craft an immersive story that catches readers, people will be able to visualize what you're saying without you having to build or program anything.
Granted, these are just how I look for prospective new employees, but building that portfolio is the best way to stand out and actually have something to show when you make that golden connection that will land you your first job in the industry!
Next time I'll talk about going the indie route, forming your own studio, and all that goes into running the day to day as a small studio.
As always, please send me any comments or questions at email@example.com, I always love hearing from you!

- Card from basic INWO Card Deck – Dated 1995
- Common Card
- Group Card – Organization
- Artist is Dan Smith
- Coloring from Jeff Koke
- Alignment: Peaceful, Conservative
- Attribute: Science
Suspect Triangle Location(s):
- On ID badge of doctor.
A.M.A. is more than likely to be referring to the American Medical Association since the card does depict a doctor in the image. The association elected on May 7, 1847 with the first elected president over it being Dr. Nathaniel Chapman. This event took place in the hall of The Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The Chapman family roots are involved with many different pieces of history among being friends with the Washington family of that of George Washington the first president. In fact, it appears from records that George Washington married one of the Chapman daughters. You can obtain a lot more historical information from this website on the family in whole:
Another interesting piece of information on the Chapman's, from the website just cited, is the accepted logo for the Chapman Family Association, shown below.
The symbol is the crescent moon in front of a cross within the circle created by the words. All three "shapes" are individual symbols that , which has been looked at before, produce the symbol of the Roman god Mercury or the Greek god Hermes and is also an alchemy symbol, shown below. The odd thing is the crescent symbol also looks like demon horns.
Now lets look at the A.M.A. logo.
The logo has a snake around a rod. This is the obvious medical symbol everyone is use to seeing; the Caduceus.
This fits perfectly because the rod the serpents are twisted around is the staff of Hermes. Some of these symbols have been discussed prior from looking at the Illuminati card Adepts of Hermes. Coincidence? Well, to make it even more interesting we will look at the family crest and motto of the Chapman's.
The family crest is very obvious for one who knows about their symbols. If you take everything away and just look at what is inside the shield you have two basic symbols; a triangle and a crescent moon (depicted the same in the logo from the website.) Looking at the setup of how these symbols are placed the triangle, or rather the pyramid, would represent the Illuminati which is a demonic secret society. The crescent moon is placed on the pyramid in the perspective of demon horns. With symbols, I do not think you can make a clearer message.
So what is the motto of this family? The translated motto for the family is "Virtue thrives under oppression." To make the motto easier to understand I will define some words in the motto and reword the motto using the definitions. Definitions will be defined by the Merriam-Webster dictionary.
- Virtue– morally good behavior or character
- Thrive– to grow or develop successfully; gain in wealth
- Oppression– an unjust or cruel exercise of authority or power
Now to reword the motto: "Morally good behavior develops successfully under an unjust exercise of authority"
Here is the source for the family crest: http://www.houseofnames.com/chapman-family-crest
To rebuttal the family motto we can look at 2 Peter 1:3 (KJV):
According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

Project Engineer Chad Hearn and Staff Data Scientist/Chemist Jason Yabandeh both recently joined Aspect's Seattle office. Here are five questions we asked to get to know them better.
Chad Hearn - Project Engineer
- Where are you from? If you're not from the Pacific Northwest, what brought you here?
I grew up in Charleston, South Carolina. It was such a beautiful and fun place to grow up, and a great place to visit if you get a chance. After school, I lived in North Carolina before venturing this way. There's so much that drew me here! If I had to pinpoint a few things it would be the climate, the Puget Sound, and the energy around outdoor activities like biking, skiing, and just getting out in the mountains. And I'm pretty sure we have the best summer weather in the country!
- What inspired you to pursue environmental consulting and remediation?
I think it was a pretty natural fit with my desire to have a hand in improving where we live and being motivated by helping others succeed. Remediation projects have tended to provide a lot of variety in the work side of the balance. Every site has its unique challenges and keeps you on your toes. There's always a good learning experience to be had.
- What excites you and keeps you motivated?
It's quite rewarding at the end of the day when you can say you've helped keep someone's water supply clean, or maybe you just helped a client find a way to tackle a problem. I get really excited when I can help someone else look good. Environmental regulations, just like everything else around us, are constantly evolving. It's exciting to have a hand in finding new ways to achieve outcomes that are better for everyone.
- What do you like to do when you aren't working?
Shocker alert; when I'm not working I'm doing my best to explore the PNW and enjoy the outdoors. These days it's mostly weekend camping trips with the pup, biking, skiing, reading, occasionally squeezing in a round of golf, and if I'm lucky catching a surf session along the frigid Pacific coast. And when I'm able to find some extended time off, travelling somewhere new is always a priority.
- Where in the world would you like to travel next? Where would your dream house be located?
Perhaps this is one of the reasons I like to travel to new places. How do you pick a place for a dream house when you've only caught a glimpse of the possibilities? Hopefully one day I find one. Until then…the criteria would have to be somewhere with a breeze, perhaps on a cliff overlooking an ocean (one that I can somewhat manageably get down to beach from), with mountains nearby, decent surf to keep me active and in the water, and maybe even have space for an organic farm and garden so I don't have to sit in a car that will then be driving me to a grocery store on its own.
Jason Yabandeh - Staff Data Scientist/Chemist
- Where are you from? If you're not from the Pacific Northwest, what brought you here? I've lived in the Puget Sound area for my whole life, which is great because I love this little corner of the world.
- What inspired you to pursue data management? What made you curious about it?While my background is in chemistry, I was drawn to data management by an appreciation of its power. Everything we do in work and life involves data and having good control and understanding of that data is key in making accurate conclusions.
- What do you like best about your area of expertise? What excites you and keeps you motivated? Working in data allows me to get involved with many different interesting projects. It's fun to learn about a site and then play with the data and see trends in contaminant concentrations -- which are hopefully on the decline! It's also a great excuse to practice programming.
- What do you like to do when you aren't working? I'll take any chance I can get to go running, biking, hiking, or swimming with my two dogs. They are great training buddies for the Spartan races that I like to run every year. Besides the outdoorsy stuff, I really enjoy getting a few friends together for some games of the video or board variety. The current favourites are Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Word Slam.
- If you could be with any musical artist living or dead, who would it be?
Definitely Queen. Not even necessarily to perform with them, as it would be an obvious understatement to say that my musical abilities pale in comparison, but just so I could bask in their glory.

Give You Immune System a Boost
10 Helpful tips to give your immune system a boost
this cold and flu season.
10 Helpful tips to give your immune system a boost
this cold and flu season.
Cold and flu season is here, but with the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, you may not be giving your immune system its best chance at fighting off infections. Thankfully, there are some simple everyday tips to avoid getting sick and to give your immune system a boost. With the holidays just around the corner, you will definitely want to do everything to boost your immunity.
1. Decrease/Eliminate Stress: Stress hurts your body in many ways, but it has the most significant effect on your immune system. When we're stressed, the immune system's ability to fight off antigens is reduced. That is why we are more susceptible to infections.
Stress can also have an indirect effect on illness as it is associated with all manner of bad habits (coping strategies), for example smoking, drinking alcohol to excess, poor diet due to lack of time, lack of exercise for the same reason, lack of sleep etc.
2. Laugh: The saying goes that laughter is the best medicine, and there's truth to that. Laughter releases dopamine and other feel-good chemicals in the brain, all of which can help decrease stress.
3. Adopt a Healthy Diet: Try to eliminate processed foods from your daily routine. Not only are processed foods hard on your body, they don't provide you with the energy or nutrients your body needs to fight infections. Instead, opt for plenty of colorful fruits and veggies paired with lean proteins!
4. Drink Water: One of the most popular and beneficial subscriptions for healing is to drink plenty of liquids. And by liquids, we mean water. Water is absolutely essential and critical for all cell functions in your body. When someone is dehydrated they produce Histamines, which are the mucus promoters in your body. So dehydration causes mucus, inflammation, and swelling. We want to be fully hydrated. All of the time, not simply sometimes!
5. Rest: Been running around like crazy to finish your holiday shopping and now, all of a sudden, you're sick? Well, that's your immune system getting its revenge. The immune system requires a lot of energy to work. When you notice that you're tired, your appetite is suppressed, and you're low on energy, your body is diverting energy to your immune system. Instead of taking drugs so you can rush off to work, listen to your body and get some rest. Stay home, stay warm, allow your body to use the energy to feed your immune system, and get healthy. When you sleep, your body is rebuilding new, healthy tissues. Staying up late only slows down this process.
6. Move: Regular exercise appears to have the advantage of being able to jump-start the immune system, and that can help reduce the number of colds you get. With exercise, the number and aggressiveness of certain immune cells, such as the ones called natural killer cells, increase by as much as 50% to 300%. If you exercise regularly, this temporary increase can help make the immune system more efficient at destroying intruders that cause illness such as colds.
7. Eliminate Sugar: Even if you're drinking fruit juice, it's more than likely that is chalk full of sugar. To put it simply, sugar can cripple your immune system. Sugar compromises the immune system because it lowers the efficiency of white blood cells for a minimum of five hours.
8. Stay Positive: Researchers aren't exactly sure why, but studies have shown those with more optimistic attitudes feel sick less often and/or recover from sickness more quickly than those who think more negatively. They believe that a person with a positive mind-set has an easier time clearing their head and reducing stress in their life.
9. Let Your Body Fight: Your immune system will get stronger and smarter if you let your body fight. If you interfere and suppress it with prescription drugs because it's more important for you to be comfortable rather than healthy, your body will get weaker and not be able to defend itself properly in future attacks.
10. Receive Regular Chiropractic Care: The nervous system controls and coordinates the entire body including all of the immune organs. Subluxations or misalignments of the spine can interfere with messages sent to immune organs, making you more prone to illness. When you receive specific adjustments by a chiropractor, you are giving your body the chance to operate at optimal levels. Additionally, chiropractic care can help reduce the effects of stress on your body, indirectly giving your immune system a boost.
If you think you're coming down with the cold or flu, or know someone who is seemingly always sick, be sure to give our office a call and find out more on how we can help!

What Types of Lands and Rivers are Protected?
The landscape within the Owyhee wilderness areas is diverse, ranging from river canyons over a thousand feet deep to vast expanses of sagebrush and grassland plateaus that provide habitat for sage grouse, pronghorn antelope, bighorn sheep, songbirds, raptors, and numerous rare plant species. More than 230,000 acres are upland plateaus and 224,000 acres are classified as low or moderate hills. This high desert, sagebrush steppe habitat is not included in existing designated wilderness in Idaho and is generally underrepresented in the National Wilderness Preservation System.
The river canyons in Owyhee County have been called the largest concentration of sheer-walled volcanic rhyolite and basalt canyons in the western United States. Many of the canyons are more than 1,000 feet deep, nearly twice as deep as the Washington Monument is tall. River enthusiasts come from around the country to challenge famous whitewater rapids.
How does Wilderness designation in the Owyhees impact access to public lands?
In addition to the 517,000 acres of Wilderness and 325 miles of Wild and Scenic, the legislation authorized acquisition of seven public rights-of-way across private land. These rights-of-way provide access to significant federal land that were previously difficult to reach because they were surrounded by private parcels.
The legislation also directed the BLM to develop and implement transportation plans for public lands outside wilderness areas. The plans establish a system of designated roads and trails and limit motorized and mechanized vehicles to designated routes.

Managing IT systems for biomedical research is enormously expensive and difficult. It includes building and maintaining expensive machine rooms, managing security guards, conducting physical and cyber security audits for regulatory compliance, managing disaster recover strategies, and regularly upgrading, patching, and replacing IT systems while trying to avoid disruptions.
In addition to managing physical infrastructure to host software and data, technologies such as mobile services, and IoT devices may require integration with telecom systems while big-data machine learning systems require massive amounts of compute and data storage resources.
Maintaining all this infrastructure while planning for growth and change is wasteful and often beyond the financial capabilities of research organizations. The only financially sustainable solution is cloud systems which securely share physical resources among thousands of users and are thus able to maintain the most advanced technologies at scale.

Economy of words, pacing, playfulness and humor are key.
When we try and cram round peg beliefs into life's square holes, well, it can become an exercise in futility. Maybe it's worth trading in some of that rigorous Bible study time in for good therapy.
I'm a crappy Christian. Not only that, but the life of faith often does not feel good. Or fulfilling. I don't know, maybe I'm doing it wrong.
When I was about seven or eight years old, me and a buddy peed in a neighbor kid's bike helmet when he wasn't looking.
You know you should be happy around Christmas, but some years, you end up feeling a little letdown.
Imagine a dirty, dank, stinky barn full of animal manure. Now close your eyes and take a deep breath in through your nose.

Since a decade, Polish labour migrants have been starting to settle down in my hometown Steenbergen (Noord-Brabant) to work in e.g. the horticulture sector. Many migrants visit Steenbergen for a few months whereupon they return to Poland. However, there is a growing number of migrants who decide to stay to build up a future. Steenbergen's inhabitants seem to know only the Polish route of home-work and home-supermarket, and seem to have only a little knowledge about their culture. In a small rural city where a culturally diverse mentality has not much developed, a certain amount of background information is needed to live together. By doing a great amount of field research with as well the Polish and Dutch inhabitants as various stakeholders, I got inspired by the needs, future visions, differences and similarities of the communities. During the dozens of interviews, surveys and workshops, I developed and tested Open Design tools that provoke acquaitance and for the longer term, social contact.
The 'tool table' is an Open Design acquaintance tool that collects stories and visions of citizens and it provides assignments and questions for both cultural groups. By the use of 100-year old mahogany wood out of the Gummarus church of Steenbergen, the table gets a traditional and catholic expression. In addition, its modifiable content provides an adventure through the city's people.

Where the heck have I been?
I can't believe it's been over a month since I posted on the blog. I have been so freaking busy that blogging has taken the very back seat. It's still in the car, just in the very back... So what in the world has had me so busy that I can't take 30 minutes out on a Friday morning to pump out at least a TGIF post? Well, I've been building an empire. Sorta.
When I graduated in April I didn't have a job lined up. I figured I would take a week to recoup from one of the most intense academic years of my life then start the job hunt and be employed within a couple of weeks. Nooooot quite how it happened. Over the course of 3/4 weeks I sent out countless applications to various companies offering my services as a junior web designer and/or graphic designer. Junior positions are hard to come by and very competitive so I had apps that I checked obsessively and sites that I had send me job postings as soon as they were available. But apparently there are a lot of qualified people out there looking for the same jobs I was.
Being unemployed for a year meant that funds were preeetty much depleted so making some money was high on my priority list. I knew I eventually wanted to be self employed but I didn't think it would happen for at least a few years. But hey, desperate times and all. So, while I continued applying for jobs and reaching out to people I thought might be good resources I also started working on portfolio projects and rebuilding my site.
Word got out that I had graduated and was looking for some work. At first it was just a family friend asking for some help on Instagram but then that turned into a bigger and way more exciting project. Then I was asked by a friend from Victoria if I would be interested in doing some contract work for her. Heck yes. THEN I got asked to start working on a branding and website design project for a friend of a friend. BAM! Those three projects have been amazing but I know that in order to keep this whole self-employed thing sustainable I need to get more clients.
So that's what I've been working on - since late April/early May I've been spending just about every waking hour working on client projects, refining old school projects, rebuilding my portfolio site, and holding down the fort while the parents were gallivanting around Italy (parents these days, ammirite). But, in keeping with my strong belief that balance is key to good mental health, there has also been some fun times thrown in there. Last weekend I went to Tofino with a group of friends, this weekend I'm going to wedding, and in three weeks it's my birthday - all the fun!!!
There's a lot going on and the days are long and the work is plentiful but the work is also good and fun and I'd way rather be working this hard for myself than spending my days in an office working for someone else, at least for now. Who knows how long this season will last but while it does I'm going to soak up every minute and learn as much as I can! Things will likely remain pretty quiet over here for the next little while but I will try harder to at least get TGIF posts out because they're so much fun for me to look back on down the road!
Happy Friday friends, thanks for sticking it out and hanging around while I figure my shiz out! See you soon!

According to various rumors, Richard Schaefer had recently hinted that Andre Berto will be fighting for a world title in 2013.
There must be something that I am missing from the fundamental way that the boxing ranking system as well as entitlement works. After two devastating losses to Ortiz and Guerrero, with a victory over Jan Zavek in-between, what makes Berto a deserving candidate for a title fight?.
I am not trying to display Berto in a negative light, the man is certainly a professional boxer with the skills to win titles and entertain the fans, still, fair is fair, and one needs to fight their way back to the top. I guess it all depends on what title we are talking about. There so many useless and irrelevant titles out there, that it seems that anyone could be fighting for one of them, and Berto could be next. If Schaefer is thinking that Berto deserves to fight with a current dominant champion, than there are two problems there: first is the fact that Berto would be given an unfair out of line opportunity, and the second issue is that Berto would once again end up with a big L on his record.
Maybe Berto needs a new team, a new drive, or simply more tune up fights, but he is clearly not a contender at the very top level at this point in time. Boxing is a forgiving sport when papers are being signed, fights are being negotiated, and press conferences take place. Boxing is a brutal non-forgiving sport when the fighting begins, and it is often we see mismatches leading to very unnecessary physical and emotional damage.

The Foreign Office has updated its advice on travel to the Philippines after four people were kidnapped.
Two Canadians, a Norwegian resort manager and a Filipino woman were taken by boat from the resort in Samal Island before midnight on Monday. Authorities believe they were deliberately targeted.
Since the incident the FCO has reiterated its advice against all travel to the country's south west reiong and all but essential travel to its south east.
The advice reads: "There is a threat from kidnapping, particularly in the southern Philippines.
"Kidnapping could occur anywhere, including on coastal and island resorts and on dive boats and sites in the Sulu Sea.
"Foreigners have been targeted in rural, urban and coastal areas in the past. On 21 September a group of foreigners were reported kidnapped from a boat near a resort on Samal Island in Davao del Norte.
"The long-standing policy of the British government is not to make substantive concessions to hostage takers.

Selected Works
Scores for these and other works available upon request.
* * *
המגדלית Magdalene
for voice, violin, violoncello, piano, video, and found sounds
performance by: Rona Israel-Kolatt (soprano), Andrea Hallam (violin), Yotam Baruch (cello), Tali Morgulis (piano), Taum Karni (conductor) [Vox Feminae Festival - Tel Aviv, Israel]
* * *
…of mirrors and insects…
for clarinet, violin, violoncello, and piano
The title for …of mirrors and insects… is taken from a brief but evocative passage in Jonathan Safran Foer's first book Everything is Illuminated. The piece was composed with three distinct time layers in a fashion similar to how the novel works with its separate temporal layers. As such, the quartet is essentially three pieces overlaid one on the other.
performance by: Accessible Contemporary Music Ensemble [Chicago, USA]
* * *
Shadowbuilders for piano solo
Shadowbuilders addresses the challenge of building negative space in music. Rather than tones calling attention to silences, this piece attempts to invert this fundamental musical relationship by carving space for sound out of silence.
performance by: Stacey Barelos
* * *
Orbits for saxophone quartet
The structure of Orbits is premised on the passing of notes, musical fragments, and textures from one instrument to another in every possible combination of the saxophone quartet. In a more general sense, however, it is an attempt to create a sound world in which moments of intensity and convolution are contrasted with moments of silence and stasis.
performance by: Bohica Quartet [Bowling Green New Music and Art Festival]
* * *
Gush for alto saxophone solo
One of a number of short solo works on fluid themes, Gush employs a steady stream of a small group of notes that slowly unfolds revealing a group of microtonally inflected passages and longer tones.
performance by: John Sampen
* * *
Drip for flute solo
One of a number of short solo works on fluid themes, Drip starts with a variety of resonant drips before slowly transforming into a large and diverse catalog of water impact sounds.
performance by: Claire Chase

Sweet Pepper Chocolate Beauty Vegetable Seeds (Capsicum annuum) 30+Seeds
$ 5.99
Sweet Pepper Chocolate Beauty : The pepper is native to Central and South America, where Christopher Columbus and other explorers discovered it and took it with them back to Europe at the end of the 16th century. They became called "pepper" in Spanish, or pimiento, because their spicy flavor brought the spice black pepper to mind.
Chocolate Beauty Pepper Germination: Start pepper seeds indoors in peat pots about 8 weeks before the last expected spring frost. Sow them 1/4" deep and keep the soil at 80-85 degrees F until germination; provide sunlight or a grow light for 12-16 hours a day. When the outdoor temperature reaches 60-65 degrees F during the day and no less than 50 degrees F at night, transplant the seedlings 12-16" apart. Exposing the plants to the weather for several hours a day before transplanting may help prevent shock. Peppers also grow well in containers or raised beds.

World in Flames: Black Rock City's Burning Man Festival
Burning Man is a radical event that takes place every year in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada. It starts on the last Monday in August, and goes until the first Monday in September. Over that week, thousands of people come from all over the world to build Black Rock City, a temporary city in the desert, and celebrate art, life, and culture together. Burning Man defines itself on its website as "A vibrant participatory metropolis generated by its citizens."
Burning Man prides itself on the 10 principles that are followed by both its organizers and participants; Radical inclusion, gifting, decommodification, radical self-reliance, radical self-expression, communal effort, civic responsibility, leaving no trace, participation and immediacy are all actively practiced by attendees (known as 'Burners').
Related Topics (Ads):
These principles aren't just lofty mumbo-jumbo — organizers spend the whole year trying to come up with ways to turn their vision into action. Cash transactions are forbidden between participants, instead, people barter for things that they need, or gift them freely. There are small cafes located within Black Rock City that do accept cash, but the profits are all donated to local schools and charities. As well, attendees are encouraged to support themselves while in Black Rock City by bringing in all their own supplies, and the Leave No Trace campaign aims to return the desert to a better condition than before the event.
First held at San Francisco's Baker Beach in 1986, Burning Man started as a Summer Solstice celebration organized by Larry Harvey and Jerry James. The next four Burning Man events took place in Baker Beach, before it moved to Nevada's Black Rock Desert in 1990. In 1995, a small cash entrance fee was charged for the first time, and since then, the fee has been increasing steadily- a 2015 entrance ticket will set you back $390. Tickets are available to all, but the priority given to veteran Burners sometimes makes it a bit difficult to get a ticket if you're a newbie.
Art Exhibitions
Burning Man primarily features outsider and visionary art, although anyone can display anything that they choose. Each year's event is themed, which gives focus to the exhibitions. The theme for 2015 is Carnival of Mirrors. Albeit the art created each year is different, there are a few recurring elements. Two things featured each year are the Man and the Temple, both of which are ritually burned on the last weekend. Every year, a different artist is invited to design and build the Temple, which serves as a focal point and community space for the entire week.
How to Get There
If you choose to attend Burning Man, be prepared for a week of radical art and self-sufficiency. The principle of Leave No Trace is not taken lightly, and attendees should be prepared to eat, sleep, and bathe without leaving a trace in the desert. Even waste water is disposed of in an environmentally friendly way — there are volunteers that collect waste water, but often people will evaporate it by putting it on a tarp in the sun.
Volunteering at Burning Man is an unforgettable experience, as Black Rock City operates entirely on volunteers and people come from all over the world to contribute to the experience in their own way. If you're too far away to get to Nevada, Burning Man also supports the existence of other similar festivals like Kiwiburn (New Zealand), and AfrikaBurn (South Africa).
Survival Tips
Some things that veteran Burners insist are absolutely mandatory are plenty of water (duh), as well as plastic bags to keep your feet dry in case it rains. Carrying a water bottle with you at all times can help make sure you stay hydrated during the scorching hot days. Another handy thing to have is a bandana, so you can wrap it around your face to keep out the dust, which is no joke — sandstorms can whip up any time of day or night.
It's also important to carry a light with you at night — although Burning Man is generally a safe environment, there have been some road accidents over the years. Lighting up your car, bike, and body will help ensure your safety at night. Happy Burning!

On June 4, the vintage rug company founded in 1965 as Doris Leslie Blau, and now known as DLB, will have a new home in a 1,600-square-foot shop on the sixth floor of ABC Carpet & Home in Manhattan. Formerly sold only to the trade, the rugs will now be within easy grasp of downtown designers and consumers. The first collection will include about 40 vintage and reproduction Swedish rugs from the 1930s to the 1950s, a genre that was a veritable secret to the trade when Nader Bolour, a third-generation antique rug dealer who is DLB's owner and president, began buying examples three years ago. Now they are bringing up to $50,000 at auction. And what does Mr. Bolour's crystal ball reveal about the next hot carpet? "Antique silk," he pronounced.
DLB Doris Leslie Blau x ABC Carpet & Home is at 888 Broadway (East 19th Street). The rugs start at around $8,000. Information: (646) 602-3332; dorisleslieblau.com.

8 Cookbooks That Will Make Great Christmas Gifts
It's no secret that I love to cook and I love cookbooks! My collection is huge and I can't seem to stop buying more! It was hard to choose my favorites, but I think there is something for everyone on this list. I really could have spent all day, and come up with 20 more, but this is a good start! Cookbooks make great Christmas gifts and I've included two on this list that I don't own for anyone reading who might want to buy me a gift!
A Year In a Vegetarian Kitchen by Jack Bishop - I've had this cookbook for many years and it's one of my all time favorites! I've made most of the recipes over the (at least) 15 years that I've owned it, and they've all been absolutely delicious!
Deep Run Roots - This cookbook was a gift from my sister last Christmas. The recipes in Deep Run Roots are truly Southern, not the deep fried, dumbed down "southern" recipes that we see so often...it truly celebrates the rich tradition of Southern Food.

Tender ~ A Cook and His Vegetable Patch - I bought this cookbook several years ago and it quickly became a go to for me! The chapters showcase 29 of Slaters favorite vegetables and this book is as much fun to read as it is to cook from!
My Paris Kitchen by David Lebovitz - This beautiful cookbook is worth having for the photography alone, but the recipes are ones you'll want to make over and over again. Give this book to a friend who has a passion for French food.
Smitten Kitchen by Deb Perelman - My go-to cookbook for times when I want something healthy, delicious and beautiful. The recipes are approachable and never disappoint. This book is for the home cook who loves to impress!
Cook Beautiful by Athena Calderone - Cook Beautiful is on my Christmas wish list! I have been following Athena Calderone's blog, Eye Swoon, for several years and it's one that I check almost every day. Her recipes are amazing and the photography on the blog is so beautiful. I can't wait to get this cookbook!
Half Baked Harvest by Tieghan Gerard - This is another cookbook that is on my Christmas wishlist! Another blogger turned cookbook author, Tieghan Gerard, started her fabulous blog Half Baked Harvest when she was only 15 years old. I have made so many of the recipes from her blog and I know without a doubt that this cookbook will be amazing!
Clean Slate - This book is part guide to healthy eating and part cookbook with amazing and ultra healthy recipes. Buy this book for anyone who is looking to clean up their diet while still eating delicious food. Perfect for after the holidays!

If former New York State Senate Majority Leader Dean G. Skelos skates on corruption charges, it will send the exact wrong message to all unscrupulous politicians and their enablers.
In other words, not much will have changed in Albany despite the best and noble efforts of former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara. As chief federal prosecutor in the Southern District of New York, he won convictions of both Skelos and his counterpart in unethical behavior, former Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver.
It may have been all for naught.
Silver's corruption case was overturned in the summer and now Skelos has been declared innocent and the conviction of his son, Adam Skelos, also will be overturned.
The confounding actions stem from the U.S. Supreme Court decision overturning the corruption conviction of former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell.
That June 2016 decision narrowed the definition of public corruption, basically saying that what he did may have been unethical, but it wasn't a crime. The ruling gives hope for others awaiting corruption trials, including political operative and former Erie County Democratic Chairman G. Steven Pigeon.
It also leaves average New Yorkers shaking their heads in frustration. How can trading on an elected office for personal gain not be a crime?
Skelos was convicted in December 2015 of abusing his position to financially benefit his son, Adam. The elder Skelos was found to have intimidated business owners into giving his son what amounted to no-show jobs. Both men were convicted on charges of conspiracy, extortion and soliciting bribes.
Former Assembly Speaker Silver was convicted in the same month of enriching himself by abusing his office.
Former New York Attorney General Dennis C. Vacco was among 46 former state attorneys general who signed a friend of the court brief in the McDonnell case urging the high court to differentiate between official and political actions. Or, in our opinion, to suspend disbelief.
Vacco attributed the appellate decision to the Skelos jury receiving poor instructions on the details of what constitutes an official act, following the line set by the McDonnell decision.
By that reasoning, a crime was committed but the criminal is going free because someone failed to explain the crime correctly to the jury.
The first step is to retry the Skelos and Silver cases. Joon H. Kim, the acting U.S. attorney who succeeded Bharara as chief federal prosecutor, says he is prepared to do just that: "Cleaning up corruption is never easy, and that is certainly true for corruption in New York State government. But we are as committed as ever to doing everything we can to keep our government honest."
Even new convictions for Silver and Skelos are unlikely to change Albany's culture of corruption. What is needed are strong new ethics laws.
Because it's not in the interest of state legislators to slow their gravy train, it is up to Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo to push for strong ethics reform in the next budget process.

Greetings Friends, Readers, and Followers:
Upland, CA – It brings me great joy and honor to highlight one of Inland Valley News' Scholar participants Miss Krystal Rhaburn. Krystal has been in our Inland Valley Scholar's Program now for over 3 years. The program was birthed after learning that according to the California Department of Education Data Reporting Office's Special Report on the Number of Graduates and Graduates Meeting UC/CSU Entrance Requirements (Pomona Unified School District), only 12.3 % of African-American students (non-Hispanic) and 3.7% of Hispanic or Latino students graduated High School having completed all courses required for UC and/or CSU entrance. To increase the number of students that are prepared, not only for college acceptance, completion and viable careers, but to also become positive contributors to Inland Valley Communities and the world at large we felt it was necessary to launch the Inland Valley Scholars' Program.
The mission of I.V.N. Scholars Program is to provide mentorship, comprehensive training programs, and support services that will promote student's development of the 21st century competencies and leadership capacities required to effectively become powerful, thoughtful engaged leaders of change within the global economy. And with the help of the Inland Valley News' Publisher's Advisory Board we were able to accomplish this goal.
Krystal is one of the participants who has not only completed the program but has been a stellar in the Cal Lutheran University school system. Krystal, now in her junior year has achieved various accolades from her university such as, California Lutheran University Outstanding Presidential Host Award, California Lutheran University Student Government Representative of the Month, California Lutheran University Dean's List– Fall 2016, Spring 2017 and Fall 2017, California Lutheran University SSS Student Leadership Conference Participation Award, State of California Gold Level Volunteer Award, and California Pageant Productions Outstanding Service Award to name a few.
Rhaburn has had her lifelong dream of studying abroad fulfilled. Krystal will be moving to Australia in just a few short weeks on a 3 ½ month stint studying the required upper division coursework needed to fulfill her under grad degree in Communications. When I asked Krystal her thoughts on studying abroad and she responded saying, ""I am extremely excited and blessed for the opportunity to study abroad at such a dream destination of mine." "I am very proud of what I have accomplished thus far in my 2.5 years of undergraduate and am very optimistic for the next 1.5 years. She continued, "I am already beginning to look into my Master's Degree plans and exploring career options." "Community engagement is very important to me and has always been a part of who I am. Throughout the next few years, I want to truly dive into specifically giving back by motivating, leading, encouraging, helping, and inspiring African American female youth."
Krystal has been instrumental in giving back to various communities. She has volunteered at a lot of different organizations including the American Heart Association, Miller Children's Hospital, CHOC Hospital, LA Works, Special Olympics of Southern California, Conejo Valley School District's Reading Program, and also the afterschool program at Camarillo Public Library, and YMCA gymnastics coach/instructor.
Krystal believes giving back is huge part of being a contributor to the community. She prides herself on hard work, humility, and kindness to all. "My ultimate goal is to be a mentor for those who desire and/or need one, and to better myself in the process," says Rhaburn.
We at Inland Valley News is extremely proud of the young woman Krystal has become. The program's Executive Director Ta Mia Morrow says, "I am so grateful to have played a role in Krystal's development. As she continues to reach high, we know the world will be better with Krystal leading the charge!"
Can't wait to see and hear of all the things Krystal will be experiencing on her journey! Wishing you all the best Krystal. We are rooting for you!
Until next time,
Ta Lese Shattera, Publisher

Social media. Could you survive without it?
What do you do when they take away your phone? SCREAM!!
That is exactly what our three creatives have been doing over the past four days. With the only digital connection beyond the numpad keyboard of the R150 PEP bought-phone, the boredom is real.
Their fingertips are itching to scroll and tap that post, share and tweet button on the glass of their smartphones, now collecting dust. They have been forced to other recreational activities. Youtube, Pinterest and Facebook a click away where do does one find the inspiration to create? You'd be surprised how many books are being read.
But for real though…
We gave three creatives the chance to see how much they can do without their social media. How much better they would feel, how much more work they can produce and is the connection really good for them? Seven days off, one 'tamagochi' as their only means of communication which is soon to be followed by a full week of being completely connected.
Social experiment they said, it will be fun they said. Was it really?

FILM/VIDEO/INTERDISCIPLINARY Art 449, Spectacular Grammar: Landscape as CinemaIn this seminar we explore different configurations of landscape structure and anticipate a cinematic experience of power and delusion through hysteria. We look at four centuries of domain, range, park, folly, and garden design as cinematic subtext. We consider film as the fluent medium of fecund (mostly mystical) nature, and landscape as a persistent and recurring seam between formalism and naturalism itself. Landscape as a perverse instrument of cinematic pleasure through control makes way for political and industrial spectacles to come. This seminar is designed as a cross-disciplinary hybrid. Students should be somewhat fluent in visual and narrative history, but, more importantly, be able to digress topically without anxiety. Film expertise is not required. Some understanding of the art of the past five hundred years would be helpful. Contemporary artists are a constant point of reference throughout the class. Lab/materials fee: $150. [Not offered 2018-19]

text: Meeting the regional district's solid waste management plan is going to cost Whistler taxpayers more, starting Jan. 1. Commercial tipping rates at the municipal landfill will go from $12 per cubic metre to $16 per cubic metre Jan. 1, the solid waste user fee paid by single family and duplex home owners will go from $79 to $105 annually and a parcel tax will be established to collect $500,000 per year for the next four years to finance the closure of the municipal landfill. The measures are part of Whistler's commitment to reducing the regional district's solid waste by 50 per cent by the year 2000. The province has told every regional district in the province to do the same. Whistler has been working with other municipalities in the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District on a plan to meet the 50 per cent reduction. Closure of landfills in the Sea to Sky corridor is one part of the plan. Most of the material that has gone into landfills will be shipped to a more environmentally-stable landfill in eastern Washington, starting in 1997 or 1998. Other parts of the solid waste management plan include expanding recycling programs, a composting facility in the Whistler area and a high-tech wood waste incinerator in Squamish. Details of how the composting and incinerator facilities will be financed and when they come on line have yet to be determined. The more immediate impacts for Whistler have to do with the tipping fees, compactors and closure of the landfill, which is scheduled for 1997 or 1998. The parcel tax, which will be initiated Jan. 1, is designed to raise $2 million over four years to cover the cost of closing the landfill. The parcel tax will be applied using the same classifications as used for sewer fees, but at about one-third the sewer rates. John Nelson, director of Public Works, told council that would amount to about $45 per year for a single family home. A plastic membrane is currently being installed to stop landfill materials from leaching into the Cheakamus River. The leachate collection system will be finished next year. Homeowners who live in an area that doesn't have garbage pick up — generally all single family and duplex homes — will see an increase in the solid waste user fee on their tax assessments next year, going from $79 to $105. Condos and townhouses generally have a communal garbage facility and pay a commercial disposal company to look after it. The increase in commercial tipping fees, from $12 to $16 per cubic metre, will be passed along by the commercial operator to the condo owners. A new compactor site program will also be established next year with the objective of providing an attendant to collect tipping fees, thereby reducing or eliminating the residential user fee during 1998. The compactor sites will be enlarged and fenced in.

Quantity vs quality is a long term debate that affect many topics including online marketing.
Let's put the conversation in place. For digital strategy we've already discussed that creating value content is one of the most effective methods out there.
So what should be the focus then when creating content?
For online marketing there are no universal rules. They all depend on opinions, audiences, behaviour, likes, algorithms… and so on and so forth. Therefore this topic is also an opinion based on some concepts.
The story...
I'll start with a tale I once heard I believe from Ángel.
Once upon a time there was a professor in an art class. It was about making ceramics. At the beginning of the semester he separated the class in 2 parts with 2 different tasks.
For the first half of the class he told them to create exactly one pot for each student. So all the students we're going to be dedicating all the semester in creating just one piece.
The goal was to make the best possible pot and to compare it with the other half of the class.
For the second half he told them that they had to create exactly 500 pots. So each student for the whole semester invested their time in creating 500, and then selecting their best to compare it with the other group.
Which group made the best pot?
Well the answer is the students who made the 500. Why?
Because that group had more experience and automatization in the process of making pots. By doing so many of them during the semester they significantly improved their skills. The first pot was not the same as the 500. The more they made the better they got at it.
On the other hand, the group that only had to make one was constantly thinking on how to improve the same pot over and over. Lacking the practice, skill, and experience of making many left them with little room for improvement.
The moral of the story is that the more you practice the better you will be.
And this applies to almost all skills in life, work, sports… A basketball player who practices his free shot throws 500 times after every practice will probably get really good at it whereas if he was not to practice at all he would get worse.
Simple logic and common sense. Although, in online marketing the quantity vs quality dilemma goes further beyond the surface.
I believe most people do not like spam. It's very annoying to see someone updating their status 10 times a day and having to see it every time you log into facebook. Or some business saying 5 times a day: buy my product!
These sort of actions usually have negative results.
Question is:
How many pieces of content should you post each day/week?
It depends on many factors, as many as you could imagine. Here I bring you what I believe are
3 important factors when deciding between quantity vs quality for content marketing
1. Your audience
You must always think about your audience when you're posting and especially put yourself in their shoes as much as you can.
It's easier than it seems. Think about how many times you'd wish to see your posts if you were the audience itself.
Are you the kind of person who you'd like to get an update of a page every 2 hours? Would you rather read one post everyday? Or one really good in depth post per week?
How about images? Would you like to see 5 pictures with 5 quotes everyday? Do you like the eventual cool picture with a nice quote every now and then?
Does your audience enjoy more the articles you write yourself or the stuff you share from other sites?
Does your audience get value from your pictures at the beach? Or the food you eat?
Again it all depends on your audience. It's not the same the content an instagram fashion influencer has than the one of an SEO expert.
Some people want quality others quantity and all that's in between. Get to know your audience and you'll have the answer.
2. Your skills
Probably the most important factor in content marketing is the skill you have to create good quality content.
As stated before quality comes from practice. If you are a blogger who has written few articles you should probably focus on getting good at writing before expecting to create a kick ass article.
Before focusing on quality you should pay attention to your skill and be honest about it. Set a goal of quantity. How many articles do you think you should write before becoming good enough at writing?
If you've been writing for many years many articles in all its forms then you already have some experience and therefore have some skill.
The trick to know if you are good enough at something is to analyze your experience
Don't expect to be Michael Jordan if you haven't played basketball in your life!
When having no experience or very little, then you should focus on quantity so that you eventually get some experience and improve your skills. For writing do 50 articles and then 100. For painting do 100 paintings. For websites do 10 websites, and so on and so forth. Get good with quantity so you can then focus on quality.
When having lots of experience at doing something, and you are not getting good results, then it's time to focus on the quality of your content. Not producing thousands of pieces, but creating a really good one.
3. What stage you are in
In the beginning stages of your journey you should not worry about having too many posts. That is because no one is going to care, or maybe just a few your friends and your family if you're lucky.
You probably only have a few dozen or hundreds of followers. The chance of all of them seeing your posts is very little because of how social network's algorithms work. They give priority to 'well-known' engaging pages.
At this stage the focus is usually to grow your audience. In order to do that there is no other way than to post and post and keep posting. Getting good at creating content and watching how your audience reacts so you can cater to their needs.
On the other hand, if you already have a suitable audience for your niche then the answer is obviously to focus on quality as you will provide greater value with your work.
Afterall, one should remember that extremes in life are quite extreme. Plato said that virtue is in the middle of the extremes.
For content marketing it's important to keep a balance between quantity vs quality. Although sometimes quality comes from practice i.e. quantity.
As always do what feels right for you.

Posts for tag: Heel Pain
Find out more about your heel pain and what might be going on.
Have you recently been rubbing your sore, painful heels? If so, you may be wondering what's going on. Heel pain is a common problem our Sparks, NV, podiatrists Dr. Douglas Doxey and Dr. L. Bruce Ford see in their patients and there are several reasons why this might be happening.
If you want to provide your feet with the most effective treatment possible then it should go without saying that you will need to get an accurate diagnosis first. This means coming into our office for an evaluation if you are dealing with heel pain.
The two most common causes of heel pain include:
Plantar fasciitis: This condition is characterized by micro-tears in the plantar fascia tissue. The plantar fascia tissue runs the length of the feet along the soles. When these microtears develop this leads to inflammation and pain located under the heels and also along the arches.
Achilles tendonitis: Both overuse and trauma can lead to inflammation of the Achilles tendon, better known as Achilles tendonitis. This is the largest and strongest tendon in the body and it's located right above the heel, and connects the calf to the heel bone. If you notice pain at the back of the heel chances are good that it could be Achilles tendinitis.
Other causes of heel pain include:
- A stress fracture
- Heel bursitis
- Tarsal tunnel syndrome
When to See a Doctor
If you aren't sure what is going on and why you are experiencing heel pain then it's better to play it safe and visit our Sparks, NV, foot doctor for a proper diagnosis. Only then can we create the right treatment plan for you. It's time to visit us if your heel pain is severe, persistent, makes it difficult to put weight on the foot, or if there are signs of infection (e.g. redness; warm to the touch; fever).
Treating Heel Pain
Both plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis can often be treated effectively with simple home care. It's important that you rest and avoid high-impact exercises (e.g. running), which can make the problem worse. The goal of at-home care will be to reduce your symptoms until the microtears have healed and the inflammation is gone. Ways to treat your heel pain include:
- Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
- Exercises and stretches
- Wearing orthotics and supportive shoes
If symptoms persist for over a week or get worse then we may need to consider other treatment options. If heel pain is severe or recurring other ways to treat the issue include:
- Shockwave therapy
- Steroid Injections
- Surgery for severe cases
No matter whether you have just noticed heel pain or symptoms aren't going away with at-home care, it's important that you have a podiatric team you can turn to when you need it most. Call Foot & Ankle Institute of Nevada in Sparks, NV, today to find out how we can help you.
Suffering from heel pain? Heel pain can interfere with your normal activities and make life miserable. If treated properly, your foot will heal well, allowing you to return to physical activity. Foot & Ankle Institute of Nevada, which is located in Sparks, NV, offers state-of-the-art treatments for heel pain. Dr. Douglas Doxey and Dr. Bruce Ford are some of the top podiatrists in Sparks, NV. Here are four proven ways to end resistant heel pain.
#1- Orthotic Devices
Orthotics are among the best ways to treat resistant heel pain. Podiatrists offer orthotic devices that provide arch support and cushioning for added shock absorption, protection, and comfort. Studies have shown that podiatrist-prescribed orthotic devices improve function and decrease foot pain.
#2- Stretching Exercises
Podiatrists prescribe stretching exercises for various foot conditions. Stretching exercises are one of your best bets for getting relief of your pain. research has shown that stretching exercises improve function, soothe heel pain, and reduce inflammation.
#3- Steroid Injections
Steroid injections are anti-inflammatory medicines used to treat foot pain. Steroid injections offer quick relief for pain and inflammation that is in one part of your body. Steroid injections allow doctors to deliver a high dose of medication directly to the problem area. You can get steroid injections at your podiatrist's office.
#4- Night Splints
A night splint can relieve your heel pain. The night splint keeps your foot in a neutral position with the toes pointed up. This position gently stretches the Achilles tendon and plantar fascia. The splint is adjustable, so you and your podiatrist can adjust it to the proper angle.
Heel pain hurts, but you don't have to suffer. Call Foot & Ankle Institute of Nevada at 775-331-1919 now to schedule an appointment in Sparks, NV. Get your life back on track by receiving the best treatment available.
Many people suffer from heel pain much longer than necessary because they keep hoping the problem will go away on its own. Unfortunately, if you continue to ignore the pain, it can become a chronic problem. Sparks, NV, podiatrists, Dr. Douglas Doxey and Dr. Bruce Ford, share information on a few common causes of heel pain.
Stone bruises
You may not realize just how painful bruises can be until you have to walk on one. Stone bruises tend to occur if you step on a hard object or if your feet aren't adequately cushioned when you run or walk. Ice, heel cups, and rest can help ease your pain. In most cases, the bruise will heal in a few weeks.
Plantar fasciitis
If you run your hand over the bottom of your foot, you'll notice that one long band of tissue extends from your heels to your toes. You'll experience pain in your heel if the band, formally called the plantar fascia, becomes irritated and inflamed. The problem is usually worse after you exercise, first thing in the morning or after you've been sitting for a while. If you run, you may be more likely to develop plantar fasciitis, particularly if you don't wear supportive shoes. It can also occur if you have tight calf muscles, high arches or feet that pronate (turn in) too much.
Rest and stretching exercises can help if the condition is mild. If your pain doesn't go away in a few weeks, you'll want to visit Dr. Doxey and Dr. Ford in their Sparks office. Depending on the severity of your problem, they may recommend fitting you with orthotics, night splints or walking casts. Corticosteroid injections can be helpful if the pain just doesn't go away. Most cases of plantar fasciitis can be treated without surgery, but sometimes, it's unavoidable.
Heel spurs
Small calcium deposits called heel spurs can also cause pain. Although they're common if you've had plantar fasciitis, anything that puts pressure on your heels, such as running, jumping, wearing poorly fitting shoes or carrying too much weight, can increase your risk of developing a heel spur. Physical therapy, over-the-counter pain medication and corticosteroid injections or surgery can be helpful.
Heel fractures
Fractures typically occur if you've been in a car accident or injured your heel jumping or falling. If the bones haven't moved out of place, you'll need to wear a cast or boot for several weeks. Surgery will be needed if the bones have become displaced.
Isn't it about time you sought help for your heel pain? Call Sparks, NV, podiatrists, Dr. Doxey and Dr. Ford, at (775) 331-1919 to schedule an appointment.
Sparks, NV—Your feet and ankles are an overlooked, but immensely important part of your body. You don't have to break a bone to know how devastating it can be when you're experiencing the kind of foot and ankle pain that makes it difficult just to get up and walk around. Ankle sprains, Achilles tendon disorders, and arthritis are some of the most common sources of ankle pain. Though these conditions are all common, it doesn't mean they should be ignored. No amount of pain in the ankles is normal, so call your podiatrist if you experience any of the following symptoms or other types of ankle pain.
1. Taking a step sends a dull ache through your ankle.
This is usually indicative of an ankle sprain. Torn or stretched ligaments that connect the foot and ankle bones—otherwise known as an ankle sprain—are the leading cause of ankle pain in the world. In fact, according to one source, nearly eighty-five percent of all ankle injuries are sprains, and spraining your ankle can drastically increase your chances of re-injury in the future. Let your podiatrist aid your recovery. He/she can give you tips on how to keep your risk of re-injury as low as possible.
2. Bending your ankle is difficult.
Your feet and ankles are flexible by nature. Any discomfort you experience when bending your ankle or taking a strep shouldn't be disregarded. It could indicate the presence of arthritis in your ankle or an Achilles tendon disorder. Make sure to contact your podiatrist if this symptom persists for more than two days in a row.
3. You experience sharp pain in the back of your ankle.
The back of your ankle is also the location of your Achilles tendon. Overuse of this tendon can often lead to tendonitis, and can be very painful if left untreated. See your podiatrist to learn about recommended therapeutic techniques, medication, or even surgery.
To learn more about foot and ankle surgery in the Sparks, NV area, call (775) 331-1919 today!


text: There are poker bonuses available for new players at every online poker site and they all follow a very similar pattern of offering a matching bonus in relation to your first deposit and then instead of actually giving the bonus money with which to play as they do at online casinos you have to earn the bonus by playing. A typical example which is in the poker bonus news is that currently on offer from Ladbrokes poker which is a 200% match of your first deposit so if you deposit €100 you can earn up to €200 in the poker bonus scheme. You then have 90 days in which to redeem the poker bonus by playing cash games or tournaments and earning status points and then for each 240 status points you get €5 of the poker bonus into your playing account. The difference between the various poker bonuses at the various online poker sites is usually in the way that points are earned and as a player it is virtually impossible to actually track as it often depends on the total rake which the online poker site takes in each hand. The good thing is that most online poker sites including Ladbrokes poker do have a tracker which you can access through your account statistics which will tell you how close you are to reaching your next piece of poker bonus. Online poker sites are always in the poker bonus news for creating new opportunities but the system of the deposit matching poker bonus is always the same. It can therefore be interesting to keep your eyes on the poker bonus news to see what else is on offer which can be things like free tournaments which are only open to new players or beginners tournaments which are played for very low stakes.

Early morning meeting in Changsha with the very affable Director Chen Jianming and Huang Lei of Hunan Provincial Museum before catching a hi-speed train to Guangzhou. 567kms in 2hrs 45m was going some.
On arrival, time enough in the afternoon to meet the scarily young Wei Jun, the new Director of Guangdong Provincial Museum, a big box of a place next to Guangzhou Opera House. Then, from heritage to contemporary, a meeting at the equally newish Times Museum which is part of a big housing complex in the north of the city and feels nicely plugged into the local community. The ground floor entrance ushers you into a funky shop and cafe; the surprise is that the galleries are 19 floors up with apartments in between.
All good. As was a couple of hours to myself on Shamian Island, the old colonial enclave in the centre of town (if Guangzhou has a centre). It's a delightful place, set on an island in the Pearl River and full of gorgeous 19th & early 20th century western-style townhouses, some of them ex-consulates, a couple of churches and lots & lots of trees. It was all really well preserved, but not in aspic. The cobbled streets were full of people strolling or playing badminton in the semi dark; there was the sound of children (still at school for some reason) and it hasn't been taken over by tourist tat.

Unauthorized interactive gambling is currently prohibited by statute in South Africa, although there are indications that this situation will change within the next few months of 2010 to 2011 to include the legalization and regulation of an unlimited number of Internet gambling sites. The National Gambling Act has been amended, but the relevant provisions relating to interactive gambling have not become operational. The promulgation has been suspended pending the outcome of a governmental report by the Gambling Review Commission on the review of the gambling industry, which had not been published at press time.
This chapter sets out the, as yet, unpromulgated provisions in the Act, within its broader context, the regulatory objectives, philosophy and legislative approach for the possibly new regulatory structure.

Did Leona Lewis Cause Chris Brown Rihanna Incident?
A report claims that the a-list couple were arguing over Brit Lewis
Chris Brown's alleged assault on Rihanna was caused by an argument over Leona Lewis- claims The Mirror.
The paper reports that Umbrella singer Ri caught Brown flirting with Bleeding Love star Leona at a pre-Grammys party and was not happy!
A source told them: "Rihanna saw Chris flirting. He and Leona were laughing and Rihanna saw his hand on the small of her back It was totally innocent but it set Rihanna off."
The couple had their argument in Brown's Lamborghini on Saturday night. Reports claim she threw his car keys out of the vehicle before the alleged assault took place.
One gossip website now claims that Rihanna was angry when Chris received a text from another woman.
So far the Forever star has only been charged with making criminal threats and released on $50,000 bail. He is expected to appear in court on March 5.

How to Take Meaningful Wedding Photos
Who doesn't love capturing the perfect moment at a friends' wedding? Through trial and error I've come up with some advice for opportunistic shots. The bride and groom will really appreciate the extra moments that may not have been captured by the official photographer or other family members.
Side note though…I am by no means a wedding photographer, I just a hopeless romantic who can't help herself with a camera in hand. In fact, the number one point I wish to make is to stay clear of the official wedding photographer(s) to let them do their thing. Also be sure to put down your camera long enough to live in the moment! That in mind here are a few suggestions for different angles:
Get low
During the reception, the classic first dance along with the Father daughter/Mother son dances are a great opportunity to get crowd-free shots. The trick is to discretely kneel alongside one of the front tables (it really helps to make friends with the people sitting in the chairs you are kneeling between to decrease the obnoxious quotient. As long as you aren't blocking anyone's view and aren't at risk of tripping anyone you're golden.
Get high: During the dance parties and speeches getting a bird's eye view can capture the energy of the room. Just be sure to stand in the back of the room so as not to block anyone's view during the speeches. If during the reception you want to stand on a chair make sure to have a spotter. You can also use people to frame the couple in the shot.
Be on the lookout for candids: One of the best things about having a smart phone is the ability to use its camera anytime!
And my personal favorite challenge…getting the groom's face as he sees the bride for the first time: Before the ceremony, try to find a seat that's on the isle or has an unblocked view of the altar (without boxing out grandma).

With filming set to begin in less than two weeks in Las Vegas, the coaches for the 14th season of "The Ultimate Fighter" have been officially announced.
UFC President Dana White confirmed this weekend that middleweights Michael Bisping (21-3 MMA, 11-3 UFC) and Jason "Mayhem" Miller (24-7 MMA, 0-1 UFC) will face off in the coaching slots on the show.
The season will be the first to feature the featherweight and bantamweight classes. As usual, the fighters on the show will compete in a tournament with the winner earning a $100,000 UFC contract.
Some small changes will be in the store for Bisping and Miller. The two will fight each other at the season's finale card instead of a pay-per-view event shortly after the show's conclusion.
"It's what we wanted to do," White said. "That's what we were planning on doing anyway."
White tried to give the coaching slot opposite Bisping to Chael Sonnen, one of the top middleweights in the world and a notorious trash talker. But those plans were derailed when the California Athletic Commission upheld an indefinite suspension against him.
Although White adamantly disagreed with the decision, he had to move on with his coaching search. That brought him to Miller, who the UFC recently re-signed after six years away from the octagon.
Miller, who was supposed to face Aaron Simpson at UFC 132, is well known as the host of the MTV show "Bully Beatdown."
"There's more that goes into selecting coaches than just, 'are these guys going to talk to each other?'" White said. "I'm not into the coaches doing it, it's going to happen with the guys anyway."
Miller is now the envy of a handful of top middleweights who called Bisping out after a controversial win against Jorge Rivera at UFC 127. Sonnen, Vitor Belfort and Nate Marquardt all asked for a fight with Bisping.
Bisping has a divisive reputation, which was mostly crafted out of stints on "TUF." Bisping won the third season of the show by beating Josh Haynes in the finale.
He later coached against Dan Henderson during the eighth season. His team dominated the competition, but Henderson got the last laugh with a knockout victory over Bisping at UFC 100.

starchitecture - love it or hate it?/
The New York Times recently asked readers to respond a Letter to the Editor regarding 'starchitecture' by architect Peggy Dreamer. She contends architectural practitioners have been "backed into a corner of aesthetic elitism". She is dismayed at the image of architects who are portrayed by the media as insensitive and "socially tone-deaf" and is of the opinion the public is fed up of this.
It is an intriguing and timely discussion. On the one hand, it seems to me, it is starchitecture that tends to create interest in the profession, which is a good thing. On the other hand, one can't help feel, on occasion, that, to architects, the aesthetic is everything and function is the sorry second cousin. Is it just me, or are Frank Gehry's more recent designs beginning to blend together? Do Zaha Hadid's edifices work as well on the inside as they look on the outside?
The responses to Dreamer's letter vary. Enjoy her letter, readers' views and her response in The 'Starchitect' Image. It is a worthy read.
Starchitecture isn't an issue in Bermuda. Not yet, anyway. Is that good or bad?

Written by: J. Logan
One of my favorite newer generation cartoons is The Amazing World Of Gumball, although the show is about a 12-year-old boy who happens to be a cat, it has depth. The cartoon uses interesting characters and even more interesting story lines. The cartoon explores many things that many adults can understand, which is why it makes such a good choice of an adult cartoon to watch in your down time.
Since 2011, creator Benjamin Bocquelet has receive great compliments and reviews on his quirky blue cat and his goldfish bestfriend Darwin. The action/adventure animation series have received 2 BAFTA awards for best writer and best animation. The show is now running it's 6th season and if you haven't caught an episode yet, I suggest you do. The show will have you laughing at some of the most ridiculous things and great underlined adult jokes as well.
With all the popularity the show has gained it would be great to see it win a Kids Choice Award in the near future, but for now I think we should all just appreciate having such a good cartoon for those of us who still enjoy watching animated shows.
