Most people have a common-sense understanding that children are better off when both parents are fully involved in a child's upbringing and care, but Ohio's child-custody laws and court practices fail to recognize this obvious truth.
Most people have a common-sense understanding that children are better off when both parents are fully involved in a child�s upbringing and care, but Ohio�s child-custody laws and court practices fail to recognize this obvious truth.
While Ohio isn�t the worst state in this regard, a recent study gives the state�s child-custody laws a C- when it comes to ensuring that both parents remain engaged with their children following divorce.
In a groundbreaking report published within the past month, National Parents Organization released its inaugural Shared Parenting Report Card, the nation�s first study to grade the states based on child-custody statutes. The report found that most states are performing poorly in terms of encouraging shared parenting and parental equality. The nation as a whole scored a 1.63 grade-point average, and Ohio is in the middle of the pack, receiving a C-.
These findings make it clear that Ohio legislators must act to raise the state�s grade for the benefit of our children, and legislators can get to work by addressing the fact that Ohio statutes:
� Contain no preference for or presumption of shared parenting.
� Do not explicitly provide for shared parenting during temporary orders.
� Do not mandate that a court award shared parenting even in a case where the court finds that the submitted shared parenting plan is in the best interest of the children.
� Have not been significantly revised in light of the 2001 recommendations of the task force set up by the Ohio legislature and the Ohio Supreme Court to recommend reforms to family law in Ohio.
The report�s examination of statutes in Ohio and elsewhere show it�s typical for one parent to be marginalized when parents separate. This happens routinely, even when both parents are fit and loving and want to be fully involved in their children�s lives. It happens because of obsolete laws and outdated assumptions about parents.
Is diminishing the role of one parent the unfortunate price we pay to promote the best interest of children? Some have thought so, but the evidence is against them. And the evidence is now overwhelming. Over the past three decades, there has been a growing consensus among social scientists that in the vast majority of cases, when parents separate, children are best off when their parents are equally involved.
Just this year, three different groups of child-development researchers and practitioners endorsed shared parenting in most circumstances. In one instance, a report by prominent psychologist Richard Warshak, titled �Social Science and Parenting Plans for Young Children: A Consensus Report� and published by the American Psychological Association, concluded that shared parenting should be the norm. The conclusions of this research were endorsed by 110 researchers and practitioners who added their names to the published paper � an extraordinary event in the social sciences.
Despite the weight of scientific evidence, shared parenting is in place just 17 percent of the time, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
There are many reasons why this harmful practice continues. Some judges seem not to have noticed that we are no longer living in the Mad Men era, when mothers stayed at home with the children and fathers were relatively uninvolved in child rearing. Some parents see the decisions about raising their children after divorce as a contest where one parent wins and the other loses � losing sight of the fact that, in such a contest, children are the real losers. And our adversarial approach to divorce and custody disputes encourages this winner-take-all attitude. Some judges favor shared parenting in principle but will not order it unless both parents agree to it, thinking that if the parents cannot agree to shared parenting, they can�t cooperate under a shared parenting plan. However, the research proves this false.
While the causes of what some have described as �parent-ectomy� are many, there is no doubt that legislatures share some of the responsibility. Across the country, and certainly in Ohio, legislators have a responsibility to make common-sense statutory changes that will better ensure that our children, regardless of whether their parents live together, experience a childhood filled with the love of both parents.

DFC estimates that the videogame market will swell to $47 billion by 2009, a 42 percent increase over the $33 billion generated by the industry in 2006. That forecast includes revenue from videogame hardware and software, dedicated portable system hardware and software (i.e. the DS and PSP - not mobile phones), PC games, and online PC and console games.
But the Xbox 360's selling power could be on the wane, according to DFC's research. The company has raised its forecast for the Nintendo Wii and PlayStation 3 and lowered its forecast for Microsoft's console, predicting that the Wii will stay on top through 2008 and that the PS3 will move into overdrive in 2009.
"The Xbox 360 will need to build a strong base outside North America to avoid being in a fairly distant third," said DFC analyst David Cole. "We could have a situation where the Wii sells more hardware units, but by 2012 the PlayStation 3 is generating more software revenue."
Using three separate market forecasting models, DFC estimates that combined cumulative worldwide sales for the three console systems will reach between 180 million to 210 million units by 2012.
But home consoles won't be the only winners, according to DFC. The PC market, spurred by the success of online games and digital distribution, stands to grow to $13 billion by 2012, the research indicates. Previous DFC estimates put the online PC game market at about $4.5 billion in 2006.
Handheld systems and software are also strong performers and Cole predicts that "the Nintendo DS could eventually become the best selling game system ever in five years."

Meet Uberflip
We interviewed Julie Whish, Culture Specialist with Uberflip, to find out more about what she loves about working with Uberflip.
Can you describe the work Uberflip does?
We believe content is the most effective way to ignite meaningful relationships. But even the greatest content must be combined with a remarkable experience to reach its full potential. Uberflip is a content experience platform that aggregates all of your content (blog articles, eBooks, videos, whitepapers and more) so marketers can create, manage and optimize tailored content experiences for every stage of the buyer journey.
What's your role with Uberflip?
I am the Culture Specialist AKA The Happiness Officer. My focus is on our people and providing them with an exciting and meaningful experience working with us. Every month I create a calendar of events, fitnesses classes and initiatives. I am lucky enough to have the freedom to be creative (which I love) and plan events like Taco Fest, host our weekly Fireside Friday gathering, plan lunch & learn's, celebrate staff birthday's and even document all the fun on our Instagram! I do my best to keep a pulse check on all Uberflippers, offer guidance, advice, support, good vibes and of course...confetti! There's a lot of confetti around here! There's something to celebrate every day.
What's the company culture like at Uberflip?
Our company culture is a product of our incredible staff here. From the moment I was interviewing here I could see how kind, warm and wonderful the people were. Guests are always commenting on how nice everyone is, and the best part is that this is what it's like every day at Uberflip! While we are lucky enough to offer a lot of company wide perks here (such as free snacks, coffee and tea, fitness classes, ping pong tables, events and parties) it's truly the talented and passionate people who define our culture. We are always striving to be better, more diverse and more inclusive. We are building a place where people feel safe, valued and excited to come to work each day!
What are some of your favourite parts of working with the Uberflip team?
There is no better feeling than waking up in the morning and being excited to go to work. Every day I get to spend time with amazing people who work at Uberflip, and even better I get to focus on keeping the workplace an exciting place to be. I love connecting with our staff, spending time with everyone, and executing events and activities that make people excited to work at Uberflip! Everyone here is so creative, talented and passionate and it really inspires me every day. It's really special to be able to work alongside so many great people, and really become a big family with them all
Do you have any advice to offer to people who are interested in working in the tech sector?
Tech is an amazing and inspiring place to be. My advice is to always keep learning! Push yourself to think outside the box and get outside your comfort zone. Whether it's reading books, blogs, listening to podcasts or going to panels and meetups - there is always something to learn! I personally LOVE meeting new people, networking, and making new connections and friends. It feels so nice to create meaningful relationships and inspiring each other.
What excites you about Toronto?
I have always loved Toronto. I grew up just east of the city and since I was old enough to come downtown, I was down here exploring. Now, after being a Toronto resident for over ten years, I've fallen even more in love with this place. I love the diversity here, and that one city can represent so many cultures, yet still be passionate about representing Toronto as "home". It's an amazing place to be creative, go on adventures, and keep things exciting! The Toronto tech community is growing and becoming more exciting every day too.
Why is the Uberflip Team looking forward to taking part in T.O. Tech Gives Back?
We were so thrilled to hear about T.O Tech Gives Back and knew it was something we'd want to be part of right away! One of our core values at Uberflip is "Give Back" and we donate 1% of our new revenue every year to charity. We love being involved in community events and volunteering our time too. It's really special for us to be involved and be able to make a difference with such a special gesture. Our people are so passionate about giving back and this is only the beginning of what we have to give.

I was recently invited to join an adorable two year old and her parents at a beautiful venue right here in my own town. We met at the historic Rossetter House for a portrait session. The Rossetter House is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The well maintained gardens and sprawling front porch are the perfect backdrops for a lovely photo session.
You can even bring along a fluffy teddy bear to join you if you'd like!
There is also a lovely white gazebo tucked away in a corner. This is the perfect spot to try out your dance moves.
After exploring the north lawn and front porch, we moved the celebration to the south lawn and set up a tea party. The teddy bear guest was very accommodating and patiently waited for tea to be served.
Turning two can be exhausting!
Thankfully the gardens at the Rossetter House provided the perfect peaceful setting for a quick catnap.
If you're in the area, I would highly recommend you check out this historic gem in Melbourne, Florida. And if you're interested in a portrait session at this location, be sure and give me a call!

The Experience
What should I expect when I book with Jillian Faulkner Photography?
Style & Concept consulation
My goal is to create a customized experience for each and every client so that your final images are exactly what you are looking for! To better understand your goals for the session it's important for me to speak with you about what your vision for the session is so that your final images are true to you.
Through our pre-session consultation we will discuss location options, the concept and style of the session, talk about wardrobe and styling to ensure we are capturing you as your authentic self as well as what you are hoping to do with the final images. Are you wanting wall art for a particular wall in your home or perhaps a keepsake album for your coffee table? Your responses will help me get to know you better and ensure that I can plan a session that is tailored just for you.
The Session - Studio & on location
The session is meant to be joyful, engaging and fun! The majority of my portrait sessions do take place in my home studio located in South West Calgary. I work with studio lighting and have various backdrops and simple props for clients to choose from. The studio is spacious with a seating area for families including a small area equipped with safe toys to keep younger siblings entertained. There is a separate changing room for outfit changes or for mothers needing to feed their newborns in-between poses. This room is fully stocked with hair products, bottled water, diapers, wipes and anything else you might need for your session.
For those warmer months, we can head outside or to a location of your choosing. If you have your heart set on a particular location because it has meaning to you, let's head there! If not, I am happy to recommend various locations around the city to capture images that are perfect for you and your family if being in studio is not for you.
Viewing & Ordering Appointment
This is the exciting moment when you get to view the images from your session! This appointment is typically booked the day of your session and takes place approximately 2 weeks from your session date. This appointment can happen in the studio or I can come to you, I value your time and recognize that sometimes packing up the little ones to come to a viewing appointment can be a struggle.
It's important for family sessions that both parents set the time aside to view the images as these prints will be displayed in your home for years to come so I want everyone involved to have input on the final images selected to be printed for your home. From here we will review your images together through physical and digital displays and I will help you sort through the photos to make final decisions on what will look best within your home. I offer both A La Carte products as well as Custom Collections to meet every clients needs.
Delivery of the final product
About 3-4 weeks later, your prints will be ready for pick up. I will call to let you know and make arrangements for you to take home your beautiful portraits. Now you can sit back and enjoy the images from your session for years to come!
It is not uncommon for my clients to visit me year after year because their children grow and change so quickly but also because they value visual documentation through professional photographic prints. I will always do my best to create images that co-ordinate with past sessions so that you can build onto what we've already created but still keep things fresh and evolving like your family year after year.

Autumn is officially here and with it, my favorite season has arrived!!!! Yet, while I am ecstatic, I am also missing my summer garden. So much that I wrote a love letter HERE saying goodbye. But the fall garden is bringing me much joy. Now, I know you are probably tired of seeing dahlias, but this is prime time for them. And if you have read a few of my back post, you know I have a deep love of dahlias, and this weekend the garden gifted me with some beautiful blooms that are definitely autumnal in coloring.
Part of this is that the past three days we have definitely had fall temperatures. It is as if mother nature turned on the "fall temperatures" switch and we have had mornings in the 45F with highs in the low 70F. This is important because dahlias are highly reactive to temperature changes causing their colors to vary. Pinks become lighter, intense colors more subtle— like Penhill Watermelon which has take a russet tone (far right bloom).
But today's vase is very special because it is the first time I have been able to harvest perfectly pristine blooms of 'Iceberg' dinner plate dahlias and 'Center Court', both white dahlias that have been decimated by beetles all summer.
Between using organza bags and now cooler temperatures, I have managed to win this battle against the beetles. By the way, the 'Iceberg' below it is bigger but had to harvest it due to a storm we had a few days ago that toppled some branches.
Below, 'Center Court' shines with its lovely white petals. That I have managed to harvest perfectly beautiful white blooms is a gardening win for this novice gardener.
For this vase today, I used a $5 vase from Target (for those in the UK, this is a department store hugely popular in the US). They have these bins at the entrance of the store where they offer seasonal items that are absolutely adorable and super affordable. I love those bins! :) Anyhow, I love the beehive pattern of this vase and the teal color looks beautiful with these flowers.

Bhutto accuses 'certain people' in Pakistan Govt
The former Pak PM says there was a conspiracy to eliminate her and the next attack on her would take place at her home, reports Kamal Siddiqi.Watch the blast video.world Updated: Oct 20, 2007 10:20 IST
Former prime minister Benazir Bhutto blamed both "Islamic militant groups" and "certain members of the (Pakistan) government" for the attempt on her life, charging them with trying to thwart the return of democracy to Pakistan. "I am not accusing the government. Only certain people in the government," she said at a crowded press conference at her family home, Bilawal House, on Friday.
<b1>Two near-simultaneous powerful bomb blasts right in front of the vehicle carrying Bhutto, shortly after midnight on Thursday, killed 136 people and wounded more than 500. The supremo of the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) who returned to Pakistan earlier in the day after an eight-year-long exile, was proceeding towards the mausoleum of Quaid-e-Azam Mohammed Ali Jinnah to address a public meeting, surrounded by a sea of celebrating supporters.
No group has yet taken responsibility for what is being described as the worst terrorist attack in Pakistan's history. But Bhutto revealed that before reaching the country, she had written to President Pervez Musharraf naming "three people and more" who she claimed wanted to eliminate her. "I wrote that letter to put things on record in case I was assassinated," she said. But the former prime minister refused to reveal the three names, claiming, "I have already said too much."
Tension was still palpable in Karachi on Friday, with its streets nearly deserted. But barring a few instances of stone throwing, the situation remained peaceful. While PPP leaders blamed the police for a glaring security lapse, Karachi police chief Azhar Farooqi said the PPP was to blame for assembling too large a crowd and wantonly disregarding security regulations.
Bhutto again alluded to possible official involvement in the attack when she said that all the street lights on Sharae-Faisal, the road along which her procession was moving, had been turned off. She alleged that apart from the blasts, shots had also been fired at her vehicle. She said she had been tipped off by a 'brotherly country' about such an attack, and feared there would be more in the coming days. "I had provided all this information to the government before coming here," she said.
She said there was a conspiracy to eliminate her and that the next attack on her would take place at her home, either in Karachi or Larkana. "Commandoes pretending to be activists of some political party will come and attack me," she alleged, once again hinting that sections of the government itself were keen to wipe her out of the political scene.

Why I Deleted 5212 Leads Yesterday
My ego took a huge hit this week.
On Monday I sent an email with the best offer I have ever made in my 15 years as a business owner.
Truly, it was a no-brainer for anyone with even the slightest interest in growing their company's sales by at 2x in the next year.
I sent the offer to 5214 people on my email list.
Two of them took me up on the offer.
So I deleted the other 5212 leads.
Here's why…
Everyone has a list of potential prospects (if you don't, you are not in business). Whether that is a list of emails or phone numbers or both, you have a pool from which you expect to make sales.
And, here is the cold hard truth… most of them are crap.
The list I sent my offer to wasn't a random selection from my email list. It was carefully chosen to purposely uncover people who are never going to buy from me.
I chose them specifically so I could, in good conscience, delete them.
The list was people who have been on my email list more than four years and who have never spent a penny with me.
That is, they have been getting my very best ideas, advice and offers for more than 48 months and have never taken advantage of any of it.
They do not find value in my work but are too nice or too lazy to unsubscribe.
So, I did it for them.
And, in doing so, we all win.
Here are 5 reasons you should cull your "lead" list as well.
- You stop deluding yourself that your pipeline is bigger than it really is. It is easy to look at your database and think, "Wow, I have 1000 people I could reach out to". But, since up to 80% of them are not really leads but just deadweight, you just fooling yourself. Instead of 1000 prospects, you only have 200.
- You stop screwing up your metrics. If you send an email to 1000 people, 80% of whom are dead leads, and you only see a 4% buy (or open or whatever else you consider success), you might think your offer is garbage. But, if you sent that same email to your engaged leads, you might find the purchase rate is closer to 25%. Having junk leads on your list skews your metrics to the low side and provides erroneous data about how good (or bad) your offers really are.
- You stop killing your email deliverability. Yes, sending out 100 emails to people who don't open hurts you. All the big email providers will punish you (if your deliverability and open rates are low. That means your good prospects don't ever see your offers because you end up in the spam folder.
- You stop wasting time talking to people who will never buy. If you make calls instead of sending emails, you are wasting hours and hours dialing people who are never going to buy from you. Why not spend your time on fresh people who will actually answer the phone and listen to you?
- You stop hoping for sales and create a sense of urgency about filling your pipeline again. When you delete crappy leads and see your pipeline numbers plummet, your fight-or-flight instinct kicks. You start doing whatever it takes to build those numbers back up with real leads. And that leads to sales and real dollars in your bank account.
I'm not going to lie – it is a huge blow to your ego to watch your pipeline disappear.
If you are being honest in your culling dead leads, you are probably going to delete up to 60% of your pipeline.
But wouldn't you rather suffer a short-term hit to your ego and then start putting real dollars in your pocket?
I'm challenging you this week to kick your dead leads to the curb and share your number with the community in the comments below.
Mine is 5212 (so far).
If you need help refilling that pipeline, here are a few articles to help you:

Courts & Crime
Man who raped 92-year-old woman argues sentence too long
Simon Angilda raped a 92-year-old woman but sending him to prison for more than 85 years would be cruel and unusual punishment, his attorney argued this morning.
Angilda is in the Johnson County jail awaiting sentencing for the June 29 attack on a Leawood woman who used a walker to get around. A jury found him guilty of that and 13 other counts related to a crime spree that night that Angilda says was fueled by alcohol and the drug ecstasy.
The jury found there were aggravating factors that justified nearly doubling the sentence that, according to the guidelines, would otherwise call for about 44 years.
"He's 22," public defender Carol Cline said of her client. "If there were no sentencing enhancements he's probably going to be in his 60s when he gets out. The upward departure (in sentence) means he never gets out."
Cline argued before Johnson County Judge Stephen Tatum that the jury did not have sufficient cause to recommend the stiffer sentence. She said the state did not do a scientific risk assessment to determine if he posed a future danger to society.
She also challenged the contention that the enhanced sentence was justified by the victim's age and infirmity.

Red Cabin in the Woods, Lyndhurst, VA
As males, the relationship of "father and son" is an important inner awareness that shapes self-understanding and affects the way we live our lives. The question is what does it mean that most men have been formed within a cultural context that offers very few healthy images or relational ways to inform and transform this awareness? How can we navigate beyond these images and the spirituality behind them in a way that provides a more discerning life-giving response to a God-given identity for men?
During this two-day/one-night retreat, participants will engage their own spiritual life through the lens of the Prodical Son narrative in the gospel of Luke. The resource that will provide the navigational map for this spiritual journey is The Return of the Prodigal Son: A Story of Homecoming by Henri J.M. Nouwen. A reading of this book before the retreat will be helpful but is not required.

Collation Committee: Osita Defends PDP, Asks Zakari To Recuse Herself
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called on Mrs Amina Zakari to be decent following her appointment as the chairperson of the Collation Centre Committee for the general elections.
A spokesperson for the party's Presidential Campaign Council, Mr Osita Chidoka, made the call during his appearance on Channels Television's Sunday Politics.
Despite the explanation by the Presidency and that Mrs Zakari and President Muhammadu Buhari are not related by blood, Chidoka insisted that she should reject her appointment by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
"We expected her to say, 'President Buhari is a member of my family, even if it is not a blood relationship, I will not be party to the process of electing him as a President," the former minister said.
"She remains an INEC commissioner, she could have just been decent enough to say I recuse myself. I think that there is a case of morality."
Still on the issue of morality, Chidoka asked the President to set new standards and " not go back to the level the country needs to get away from."
READ ALSO: Zakari: PDP Cannot Impose 'Its Own Interpretation Of Fair Play' On Nigerians – Keyamo
He stressed that the controversy on the appointment would have been needless if Mrs Zakari was a legal officer or a judge and someone said he doesn't want her to handle his case.
The PDP member further described the comments by the INEC commissioner on her relationship with the President as unusual.
According to him, her reappointment by the President raises an eyebrow after she was appointed by the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan.
Chidoka said, "I hear the President said that she is actually not related by blood, but they are related because his sister got married to her father and so, she's a niece actually. I find it strange that she said she is not related to President Buhari."
"They said the PDP appointed her, yes, the PDP appointed her in 2010. The President reappointed her as a national commissioner after he made her acting Chairman of INEC," he added.
"If we are to go by the fact that she is a relative, she ought not to have been appointed by the President. Let's assume there is no law against that in Nigeria; but moral standards, some form of good behaviour."

Free Trash the Dress Shoot from the Atlanta Wedding Photographers at AtlantaArtisticWeddings
Yep you heard it right we are giving away a free trash the dress shoot with every wedding package. If you have not heard what a trash the dress shoot is it is done after your wedding. The are also known at "fearless bridal" or "rock the frock". You can do your photo shoot anywhere around the city. It can be a roof top, field or on the Chattahoochee River! If you are are brave enough to go there I am happy to shoot it.
As a Atlanta wedding photographer I love a trash the dress shoot. It is a opportunity for the Bride and Groom to let their hair down after the wedding. They are not rushed as you are during the wedding day and it is a way to get some more photos of the couple at a different location. I find during the trash the dress shoot the bride and groom are more relaxed and that is when you get the best photos!
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me and I will be happy to help in any way that I can.

In 2015, as part of the End Poverty Edmonton (EPE) strategy as Road Map action #5, the John Humphrey Centre for Peace and Human Rights (JHC) initiated the YEG Dignity Campaign as an effort to break the stigmatization of poverty and get the community talking about poverty with compassion.
YEG Dignity 2018 aims to highlight the intersectionality of lived experiences of the community living with disabilities in and around Edmonton. This initiative is an effort to amplify the voice of people with disability and their daily struggle to end poverty and be included in Edmonton allowing the able bodied community to understand the privileges of ableism and be aware of the systemic barriers. These conversations and shared realities will increase consciousness of the wider community of the concept of inclusivity and accessibility in public and private spheres. Research proves that persons with disability are at high risk of social isolation/social exclusion.
All those interested are encouraged to attend the YEG Dignity 2018 events.

Flu season is in full effect. Are you ready? The CDC estimates between 9.2 million and 35.6 million flu illnesses each year in the United States. While getting a flu shot is suggested, some people are too late to get it and may eventually get sick. In years past, we have seen that the medication, Tamiflu, is constantly on back order and a rare find. Thankfully the FDA has approved a new medication, Xofluza (baloxavir marboxil), for the treatment of acute uncomplicated influenza (flu) in patients 12 years of age and older who have been symptomatic for no more than 48 hours.
"This is the first new antiviral flu treatment with a novel mechanism of action approved by the FDA in nearly 20 years. With thousands of people getting the flu every year, and many people becoming seriously ill, having safe and effective treatment alternatives is critical. This novel drug provides an important, additional treatment option," said FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, M.D. "While there are several FDA-approved antiviral drugs to treat flu, they're not a substitute for yearly vaccination. Flu season is already well underway, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends getting vaccinated by the end of October, as seasonal flu vaccine is one of the most effective and safest ways to protect yourself, your family and your community from the flu and serious flu-related complications, which can result in hospitalizations. Yearly vaccination is the primary means of preventing and controlling flu outbreaks."

TLOU And Red Dead Redemption PC Gameplay Video, Using RPCS3 PS3 Emulator
RPCS3 is right now the best PlayStation 3 emulator for PC and modders across the globe have been using it to run their favorite PlayStation 3 games on PC. The latest PS3 games to join the list are - The Last of Us and Red Dead Redemption. Modder John GodGames Emus has shared 4 new videos on his YouTube Channel - two of them shows The Last of Us running on PC using RPCS3 and the other two video shows Red Dead Redemption.
We have seen all the four videos and there is hardly any major graphical glitches in the case of Red Dead Redemption, however the same can't be said for the overall performance.
In the case of The Last of Us, the performance is even worst and there are many graphical glitches. However, we need to take this point into consideration as well - this is the very first time The Last of Us is running on PC using RPCS3.
The good news for the PC gaming community is that someone is trying to get these two console exclusive games on PC. They are not going to arrive on PC officially, and so my advice would be - wait patiently and hope for the best.

Zen of the Dead Available from Popcorn Press
Each year, on October 1, we host an open call for horror-themed poems and stories. By October 31, we have a finished document published in ebook form, with a print version close on its heels.
This book is the result of that creative marathon. Inside are works from writers new and old, pros and newcomers alike. Some few are previously published pieces deserving new readership; the majority have never before seen the light of day.
Our goal each year is simple: to encourage a wider audience for poetry and short fiction. Halloween provides a perfect opportunity.
So came the announcement in the wee hours of this morning from Editor Lester Smith, that ZEN OF THE DEAD (see October 28) is now available from Popcorn Press. My connivance in this year's costume parade is "La Valise," the tale of a New Orleans lady with a biting habit who, newly returned from a visit to her ancestral France, is victim of a mix-up of suitcases at Louis Armstrong Airport.

Earlier this year, HRC Foundation announced the inaugural class of the 2016 HIV 360° Fellowship Program. Made possible with generous support from the Elton John AIDS Foundation, HIV 360° is a capacity-building fellowship program for young, nonprofit leaders ready to take HIV-inclusive organizations and initiatives to the next level. The HRC blog recently sat down with each of the fellows to discuss the program, their work, and their vision of an AIDS-free generation.
Andrés Cano, 24, is an aide and community liaison to Pima County Supervisor Richard Elías in Tucson, Arizona, where he also works to advance HIV prevention, treatment, and care through his involvement with Tucson's National Latino AIDS Awareness Day Planning Committee. For three years, Andrés led and expanded the committee's effort to normalize conversations about HIV and HIV testing among Southern Arizona's Latino families. In 2015, Andrés was named Equality Arizona's Emerging Leader of the Year, and in 2016, he was awarded the Gabe Zimmerman Emerging Leader Award by the Center for the Future of Arizona. He currently serves as Vice Chair of Planned Parenthood Arizona's Board of Directors.
How did you first get involved with the movement to end the HIV and AIDS epidemic? How, if at all, did that inspire you to become an HIV 360° Fellow?
I live in Pima County, where one in four new transmissions of HIV affect Latinos. Like many Latinos, I grew up in a household that didn't talk openly about sexual health or wellness, let alone HIV. My experiences growing up, and my work as a policy aide to an elected official, empowered me to think critically about how we can best take care of our loved ones in Southern Arizona. I am inspired by HIV 360°'s commitment to having us all be catalysts for change, and I'm beyond grateful to be part of a cohort that is laser-focused on culturally-responsive prevention and treatment efforts that reflect our diverse and incredible communities, especially communities of color.
Each fellow has been asked to design, implement, and evaluate a community service project to combat HIV transmission rates in their respective communities. Tell us about yours and what you hope to accomplish with it.
With the help of HRC and the Elton John AIDS Foundation, Southern Arizona is leading several efforts to increase awareness about HIV and treatment among Latinos. Our diverse planning committee is expanding its regional, stakeholder-driven HIV marketing strategy to reach 18-29 year old Latino men who have sex with men. As a result of our advocacy, we expect young, Latino gay and bisexual men in our community will learn more about Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis and other HIV prevention methods, and they will have a better sense of where they can go to find health care providers in the area willing to provide culturally relevant, HIV-inclusive care.
What is one key learning you've gained from the fellowship program? What have you enjoyed the most about it?
The HIV 360° Fellowship Program has helped me think more critically about our committee's #MomentsThatMatter public awareness campaign and how it can become a more data-driven and evidence-based public health initiative in its next phase. In a world of limited resources and time, this program has taught me how important it is to be focused and strategic. Above all, the most enjoyable part of the fellowship has been developing a strong network of support among my cohort, both professionally and personally. They are all near and dear to my heart, and they've earned the title of "family" in my inner circles.
How can people learn more about your organization and support the work you are doing?
Tucson's National Latino AIDS Awareness Day Planning Committee is made up of 15 members, each representing various health care providers, government and educational partners, and community members.

National heroes
Monuments to past heroes become in time posterity's reminders to historic and imperial mindsets which most of us have outlived; pigeons that there perch have long had a more consistent attitude.
The enthusiasm for statues tells us as much about their supporters as those celebrated; blue plaques, however, are cheaper, easier to clean, and both more discreet and informative.
Who today can readily recall the names and exploits of the plinthed warriors surrounding Nelson's column?

Book Reviews Part 2
Another book review post! A majority of these books came from the two book clubs I'm in, but I mixed in other reads as well. One book club focuses on non-fiction, which I've really enjoyed since it gets me a little outside my normal selections. The other is more of a wine club disguised as a book club, but I do still make an effort to read the selections, as they're often books I'm interested in anyways.Read More

Compiled By Jill Jusko The market for transportation management systems (TMS) will grow to more than $1.7 billion by 2006, predicts ARC Advisory Group, a Dedham, Mass.-based consulting firm. That represents a cumulative annual growth rate of 16.4%, based on the $804 million ARC calculates firms spent in 2001. About 20% of the revenues were derived from recurring fees such as subscription, transaction and hosting fees. ARC details its study of the TMS market in its new study, "Transportation Management Systems Global Outlook: Market Analysis & Forecast Through 2006." In analyzing the market, the advisory group identified TMS as "software solutions that facilitate the procurement of transportation services, the short-term planning and optimization of transportation activities, and the execution of transportation plans." "Most companies have traditionally taken a fragmented approach to transportation management, and so the technology has also been developed and deployed from a silo perspective," says Adrian Gonzalez, ARC senior analyst and the study's author. Other key findings include:

I started in with a series of shifts earlier on this year. With each shift, I kept the silhouette very basic and changed the details of the dress. Shift dresses are actually defined by their very simple silhouettes and if you want to know more about their characteristics you can check out a previous outfit post here.
For today's shift, the simple detail I added was a trim of frill. I thought it made the silhouette a little more playful while adding length for ladies who want a little more coverage. I paired the dress with statement earrings in a style called soutache. Krystle DeSantos, a fellow Guyanese blogger who is into accessories and vintage style introduced me to them.

Concealed Carry Holsters For Women In South Carolina
When choosing a holster for concealed carry in South Carolina there's a quote that sums it up fairly well, by Clint Smith; "Carrying a gun isn't supposed to be comfortable, it is supposed to be a comfort"
It is important to choose a holster and gun combination that provides the needs that you have identified yet will also properly fit your body. Just as the proper holster is specifically designed for the make and model of your gun, the holster must also be able to fit the proper proportions of your body, specifically considering about where on your body you're going to wear the holster.
Concealed Carry Holsters Come In Various Designs In South Carolina
In recent years there have been a significant number of manufacturers making holsters specifically for women in South Carolina. Some options for consideration are; holsters design to go on a woman's thigh, there are ankle holsters, modified under the arm i.e. shoulder holsters, compression tank top holsters that are actually worn as an undergarment, belly band and under wraps holsters, holsters designed as a pouch and double as underwear.
There are several models of holsters specifically designed for a women's shape and proportions to wear both inside the waistband and outside the waistband, with just a little research in South Carolina you will be able a find the perfect holster for your needs. We have some options in our store.
Practice With Your Concealed Carry Holster In South Carolina
Regardless of whether the holster you have chosen is made of Leather, Nylon, Kydex, Cloth, or any other material it is not enough to just wear the holster, you must start practicing and testing how to wear and use the holster competently in South Carolina. This is similar to when you do dry fire practice with your firearm, you also want to practice continuously with drawing (extracting) and re-holstering your firearm, this is something you should practice hundreds of times so that you build up true muscle memory.
It has been proven time and time again that in a high stress or panic life and death situation in South Carolina that the body will respond in the way that it has been trained, Muscle Memory. It can save your LIFE!
You must repeatedly practice on how to access the holster from under clothing, or from a concealed carry Handbag, or other specialized Clothing, how to keep the clothing out of the way as you draw your gun and move into a shooting position as smoothly and quickly as possible. As you do this you'll be able to find the perfect positioning adjustments that may be necessary for the holster to properly function with your body type and the type of clothing that you'll be wearing in South Carolina.
In South Carolina Use Your Concealed Carry Holster In Shooting Drills
First, practice repeatedly just like you do with dry fire, doing so in front of a mirror may help you analyze efficiency of movements. Make sure that wherever you're doing this that the gun is unloaded and that there is no ammunition even in the same room. Please follow safety guidelines. The advantage of this type of training is doing it in the comfort of your own home. However, your home is not a shooting range and you always need to follow strict safety guidelines.
1. Unload your firearm completely. If you are using magazines, ensure they also are unloaded.
2. Inform everyone else in the dwelling that you will be practicing so they can minimize any distractions.
3. Do not have any live ammunition at all in the room where you are practicing.
4. Have an adequate backstop.
5. Set a firm start and stop time for practicing. When the time to stop comes, stop.
Once you're ready to proceed to the firing range in South Carolina and start with live fire exercise is it is suggested that you should start with "one shot drills". Draw your gun, fire a single shot and then re-holster. You want to do this repeatedly and frequently to help build up your muscle memory which will be absolutely critical and possibly life-saving in an actual shooting situation. As you continually practice this drill, and you become smooth with your movements you can slowly pick up speed and accuracy with practice.
Breaking in your Concealed Carry Holster In South Carolina
When you first start wearing a new holster for concealed carry the best way to get used to the holster is to wear it everywhere, wear it out in the community; to the store, to the movies, out to dinner, get to know the feel and any movement of the holster in every possible daily situation. Choosing and then wearing the correct holster has to be something that is done with great consideration, there are no shortcuts to finding and utilizing the proper holster for your concealed carry needs in South Carolina.
Whichever holster is your final choice the only way that everything will work well when you need it the most is that you must practice, practice, and then practice some more. During this practicing and while learning how to draw (extract) your gun from the holster and the re-holstering you may want to try incorporating multiple positions into your actions.
Work with a certified instructor to learn how to draw and fire from different positions or while in movement, in a self-defense shooting situation chances are you're not going to be squared off and standing still like you are at the range practicing with the target! As your proficiency and skill level increases while working with an instructor in South Carolina you may want to incorporate some speed and timed drills. Before taking this step make sure that you have had a significant amount of practice and training on the fundamentals first, without proper application of the basic fundamentals speed drills are difficult to accomplish competently, again, always be under the supervision of an instructor when working with speed drills.
As your expertise and proficiency improves so will your speed and accuracy, some training aids that are suggested is a shot timer and the use of paper targets so you can confirm your accuracy (as opposed to a steel target where you may not know where the round actually hits) As you train keep a written log so you can track your activities, and monitor your progress.
When practicing to use your holster in combination with your firearm please remember this; slow is smooth…… Smooth is fast. Speed is fine-accuracy is final. You can't miss fast enough to survive; the first shot fired must connect accurately and decisively. If you are involved in a self-defense shooting the award for second place is something you do not want….
Article 1, Section 20 of the South Carolina State Constitutional Provision states: "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
South Carolina is a "shall issue" concealed carry (CCW) permit state. No permit is required to purchase rifles, shotguns, or handguns. South Carolina also has a "Castle Doctrine" legal protection in the use of deadly force against intruders into one's home, business, or car. Non-South Carolina residents are not eligible for the South Carolina concealed carry permit.
A Connecticut gun manufacturer is moving to South Carolina after Connecticut lawmakers passed stricter gun-control laws. PTR Industries has made the formal announcement at a ribbon-cutting ceremony that was attended by South Carolina Republican Governor Nikki Haley. The company is going to Horry County, which includes Myrtle Beach which has approved a resolution setting out the terms of the company's move.
South Carolina's preemption statute is set forth as follows: "No governing body of any county, municipality, or other political subdivision in the State may enact or promulgate any regulation or ordinance that regulates or attempts to regulate: The transfer, ownership, possession, carrying, or transportation of firearms, ammunition, components of firearms, or any combination of these things."
South Carolina is not a traditional open carry state. You cannot even open carry with a South Carolina CCW permit. However, you may carry a loaded firearm in the glove box or console of your vehicle while traveling and to and from your accommodations.
South Carolina is a "shall-issue" state, Qualified applicants must be at least 21 years of age and not be barred from possessing a gun under state or federal law. Unlike most states, South Carolina also has a vision requirement for carry permit applicants. To receive a permit, applicants must have proof of 20/40 vision, or proof of corrected to 20/40 vision.
Concealed Carry (CCW) permits in South Carolina are issued by the local Sheriff's office or Chiefs of Police, whichever jurisdiction you reside in.
US Precision Defense is the utmost internet resource for all things relating to concealed and open carry in the country.
Al Cannon, the sheriff of Charleston County, South Carolina declared that he'll disregard proposed gun restrictions that he considers unconstitutional. This referring to the proposed gun control laws being attempted by liberals in the U.S. congress. The Sheriff went on to say: "As a law enforcement officer, and we have an obligation, although it rarely comes into play, but we have an obligation to … enforce lawful laws, if you will. Constitutional laws. It's very similar to the responsibility that a military member has on the one hand, obey orders but he's obligated not to follow unlawful orders. And it's left up to the individual to make that decision," We at US Precision Defense applaud the Sheriff for his willingness to stand up for what he knows to be the right, just, and lawful thing to do…
In 2013 In an already strong pro-gun state, it can't be easy to come up with ideas for making it more pro-gun, yet legislators have risen to the challenge: They have introduced multiple pro-gun bills.
The following is just a partial sampling that was issued by the South Carolina Sheriff's association, it is one of the best statement of its kind; In response to the many inquiries regarding the recent tragic events in Connecticut and California, and the ensuing public dialogue concerning "gun control" or "restrictions", the forty-six elected sheriffs of South Carolina, who are the acknowledged public safety authority within their respective counties, will comply faithfully to their Oath of Office to, "preserve and protect and defend the Constitution of this State and of the United States." US Precision Defense agrees with the statement and strongly suggests that all residents of South Carolina go to the associations website and read the statement in its entirety.
There are currently four and soon to be five (5) firearms manufacturers in South Carolina; PTR industries (moving into the state) Citizins Firearms, Fn Manufacturing LLC, Jarrett Rifles Inc, and Winslow Arms Co Inc.
South Carolina is considered one of the top pro-gun and second amendment rights states in the country. US Precision Defense has a large free access database of firearms instructors, shooting ranges, and gun smiths along with a members only section and an on-line store of shooting accessories.

As the Equinox pulled out of St. Thomas harbor they did the marine equivalent of waving goodbye to us -sounding their horn. We literally laughed out loud- their horn sounded like a wounded seal and our response was Let me show you what a real ship sounds like kid!
We had the ship to ourselves today, literally. The majority of passengers chose to disembark leaving us a full wide deck to walk and moose around.
We peered across into the rooms of the Equinox and agreed we were on a much nicer ship.
We asked around at dinner how St. Thomas seemed post hurricane and they all said it looked pretty good. We saw two container ships in the harbor and were told they are bringing supplies from the USA so it says some work still needs to be done. We saw a large stack of what we think might be telephone poles so perhaps that aspect of the infrastructure is not back to normal.
We've pulled out of St Thomas ourselves, heading to St. Kitts. We're done dinner and fine for the day. (It's an hour later here. The time zone changed on the way down).
Another day in paradise gone. Pretty sweet.

Hi there Friend!
It's time... finally!
For this week's The Short The Sweet, I'm sharing a list I've been waiting to send you since forever. Why?
The summer coming on? The need to eat some of my feelings? The influx of friends and fam visiting NYC and me wanting to surprise and delight them? Whatever the reason, the time is right!
For your reading and eating pleasure, I present to you...
The 3 Best Chocolate Chip Cookies in New York City
(And if you don't live in NYC ... keep scrolling to the end to get my fav recipe so you can make your own!)
Culture 36
Garment District
247 W 36th St., btwn 7th and 8th
This hipster coffee shop, deeeeep in the Garment District (a store selling only buttons, anyone? Or how about only zippers? Or only sequins?), has a line out the door at 4pm and it's as much for the chocolate chip cookies as it is for the mid-afternoon caffeine crush.
These cookies get my top spot because they have it all - a generous load of bittersweet chocolate, enough salt to really set the sweetness abuzz, and a tooth-i-ness that's the perfect combination of crunch and creamy, luscious doughiness.
They make 'em in small batches throughout the day, so the cookies are always hot and fresh. (Hugely important to me!)
Beware: They sell out instantly. If you don't have 15 minutes to spare waiting for another batch to come out of the oven, then call ahead and reserve a few or a dozen. The cookie hotline is 646-861-3553. I keep a stash in my freezer. Not the same, but it gets me through.
Oh! And one more thing...
Do not go to the two other locations of Culture (both on 38th St). I've tried both, assuming that the cookies would be "the same."
Only get your chocolate chip cookies at Culture 36 on 36th Street.
(Now you know the depths of my cookie geekery.)
Upper West Side
440 Amsterdam Ave at 81 St.
Depending on the week, and my mood, this could be my #1 cookie.
The Orwashers cookie has a deliciously shellacked crust on the bottom that is unlike any other cookie I've had.
My hunch is that this has something to do with the fact that Orwashers is a bread bakery. They must bake the cookies in the same oven that churns out the best baguette in the city. (True! Their baguette is swoon-worthy.)
How else could their cookies have this caramelized density and just-this-side-of-burnt quality that is so utterly irresistible?
And no, the cookie isn't crispy through and through a la Tate's cookie.
The Orwashers chocolate chip is amazingly soft and chewy on the inside. I've counted three (!!!) types of chocolate in the cookie, so they've got the entire sweet to bittersweet flavor range covered.
Cookie mic drop. (Someone send me a GIF of that, please.)
Upper West Side
167 West 74th Street, btwn Amsterdam & Columbus
While you're in the 'hood getting a cookie at Orwashers, deputize another friend in your party to go stand in the long, snake-y line that emerges from the cartoonishly small doorway that is the minuscule counter known as Levain Bakery.
NYC cookie snobs are surely nodding their heads in approval; this place is legendary. Why did I rank Levain's cookie so low, you ask?
One word: Nuts.
I am categorically opposed to a chocolate chip cookie with nuts.
Except for the cookie from Levain. I'm willing to overlook this usually fatal flaw because it's just so damn good: a pillowy mountain of warm dough, oozing chocolate, impossibly held together by the thinnest crisp of an outer crust. Yes, please!
The Parting Shot
"Sharing food with another human being is an intimate act that should not be indulged in lightly."
— M.F.K. Fisher
Don't live in NYC?
I got you!
You could...
Bake my current favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe. (Cake flour? Yeah, cake flour!) #You'reWelcome
Share this post with a friend who does live in NYC.
Save it for when you visit! If you're buying... I'm there. ;)
Want to challenge my ranking or alert me to a cookie I missed? Leave a comment and tell me what's what. Bring it on! I ain't scared.
I read everything you send my way... even rants about why nuts belong in chocolate chip cookies.
