PHOENIX — Annika Sorenstam wanted to play with the men so she could raise the level of her game. She may need to, if her start to the LPGA season is any indication.
Sorenstam opened her year with a solid five-under-par 67 Thursday, only to find herself trailing rivals Se Ri Pak and Karrie Webb after the first round of the Safeway Ping tournament.
Pak shot a seven-under 65 and Webb bogeyed her final hole for a 66, both serving early notice to Sorenstam that she might have trouble winning 11 times on the LPGA Tour again this year.
"They're all chasing who's on top," Sorenstam said.
Pak acknowledged as much, after an opening round in which she made eight birdies against a lone bogey under perfect scoring conditions at the Moon Valley Country Club.

Lap dancing club ban considered by Portsmouth council
Portsmouth councillors are to consider later whether to stop licensing lap dancing clubs in the city.
The city council began a six-week consultation in March amid concern about the affect of sex entertainment venues on the city.
The city's licensing committee must decide whether to include or amend draft guidelines that say there is no appropriate place for the clubs.
It could mean premises licences are refused when they come up for renewal.
The consultation attracted 3,425 responses - 1,672 of which were from outside the city. The council said 97% of all the respondents were against a total ban on the clubs.
The councillors' decision will give the licensing committee guidance to either stop renewing existing licences, refuse new ones or use stricter guidelines when considering applications.

It's Tuesday! I want to talk about WODs for a hot second. Yesterday was a "birthday WOD." Our coach does this awesome thing where he lets our gym members choose the WOD on their birthday. They usually suck, but that just goes to show how legit our gym members are, we like to challenge each other.
Monday's WOD
31 minute AMRAP (longest AMRAP of all time)
- Run 800m
- 31 overhead walking lunges with a plate 45#/25#
- 31 burpee pull ups
Such a good WOD. Good because it was HARD. By the end of the work out I was legitimately exhausted. I made it through 3 complete rounds. I started to head out the door to start my run but I only had 10 seconds left, so mostly I was just thinking to myself: where do you think you're going? I modified my burpee pull ups since I'm still lacking in the pull up department. Although I'm pretty sure I did a jumping pull up yesterday. My legs were flailing around and I'm not sure that my chin actually made it above the bar, but hey that's progress.
Tuesday's WOD = March Madness WOD
Our coach made everyone fill out a bracket before the first game started, and then based on your predictions determined what you had to do for the WOD. AND… if you didn't complete a bracket you had to do the entire work out.
For time:
- 64 burpees (32 games x 2 burpees)
- 80 wall balls (16 games x 5 WB)
- 56 KB swings (8 games x 7 KBS)
- 40 push up (4 games x 10 PU)
- 40 air squats (2 games x 20 squats)
- 1 mile run (championship game)
I must have had a pretty good bracket. My WOD looked more like this:
- 24 burpees
- 30 wall balls
- 28 kettle bell swings
- 30 push ups
- 20 air squats
- NO mile run, because I picked Louisville to win- good job Kayla!
I will say though, I was especially tired this morning. Not sure why. I was also really sore–I'm thinking it was from the overhead lunges yesterday. I've been bouncing around the idea of taking creatine powder and maybe protein powder, but I just can't decide. I feel like I hear both good and bad things about them. Plus, there are so many different options out there I'm not sure how to decide which will be right for me. Ah, the world of supplements, so overwhelming!
On to that custom stuff that I really wanted to talk about…
Have you heard of Custom Fit Meals? THEY ARE DELICIOUS. And convenient. I first noticed CFM while working out at my first CrossFit box in Winston. I saw the fridge and always wondered what it was or how to order, but I never really took the time to ask questions or do any research. Then, when I switched to the box in High Point, I saw the same refrigerator again. To be honest, I hadn't realized that Custom Fit Meals was a "chain." It caught my attention seeing it again, and our coach posted about ordering meals on the gym website every once in a while. I remember checking out the website and thinking it looked cool, but was a little put off by the price. Well, then I started averaging out how much money I was spending on groceries per week to cook paleo meals for one… EXPENSIVE, that's how much. Plus, I love cooking, but I was getting a little tired of eating the same two meals the entire week. I decide to give CFM another look. Before ordering, I asked my coach what he thought of the meals. Did they taste good? When are they delivered? How big are the portions? Is it worth it? (I ask a lot questions, about everything) After finding out everything that I needed to know I made the decision to try it out.
The Pros:
- A different, delicious, home-cooked meal every day! HOORAY!
- Super convenient (I don't spend any time prepping, which is great for the weekends when I travel)
- I can pick up the meals Monday morning when I work out at 6:30
- I order the large portion meals. 5 for $50 and then I split each meal in half, thus maximizing my meals so that I have 10 instead of 5.
The Cons (these aren't very legit cons):
- I'm not preparing my own paleo recipes, which is only a con because I really enjoy cooking
- I don't know what anything is going to taste like before I try it. This is difficult for someone like me because I don't take a lot of risks and I'm infamous for being an extremely picky eater–I just started eating green beans and sweet potatoes within the past 4 years. I was missing out!
I have really been impressed with Custom Fit Meals since trying them in the beginning of March. I've ordered every week except for two weeks. Once because I had a lot of left over food that I needed to use, and the second time because almost every menu item had "fennel seeds" in the recipes. Kayla hates fennel seeds. They're weird and taste like licorice…gross.
I've had three weeks worth of meals so far, and out of all of those, there was only 1 meal that I just didn't like- it was a banana breakfast loaf thing. The description made it sound like it was going to be AWESOME, and I was so excited to try it because I have a weird obsession with bananas, but it just didn't do it for me.
They deliver to a lot of CrossFit boxes up and down the east coast. If your box does CFM and you've been thinking about trying them, I would highly recommend that you do so. And if your box doesn't have CFM, talk to your box owner to see if they can start!
You know what else can be custom?
REEBOK CROSSFIT NANOS!!!! I love my nanos. I just have the regular black/pink ones, but they are SO comfortable, and so perfect for CrossFit WODs. They aren't my favorite when we run during WODs, but that's okay.
So, last Saturday night, Jacob fell asleep on the sofa, and I was bored. What does a CrossFit blogger do when she's bored? She designs custom work out shoes on the Reebok website, obviously. Want to see some of my creations?
Pretty sweet right? If I get a new pair, I'll probably go with the 'Merica ones. They're my favorite.
Alright! It's almost time for New Girl to come on at 9:00! Hope everyone is having a super fantastic week, and that your weather has been as nice as mine here in NC!!!

Rev. Teri Peterson
Ridgefield-Crystal Lake Presbyterian Church
Doing Nothing?
Psalm 27 (selected), Luke 10.38-42
Lent 2C, Gifts of Women
The Lord is my light and my salvation;
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid?
One thing I asked of the Lord,
that will I seek after:
to live in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to behold the beauty of the Lord,
and to inquire in his temple.
Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud,
be gracious to me and answer me!
'Come,' my heart says, 'seek his face!'
Your face, Lord, do I seek.
Do not hide your face from me.
I believe that I shall see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord;
be strong, and let your heart take courage;
wait for the Lord!
Now as they went on their way, he entered a certain village, where a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to what he was saying. But Martha was distracted by her many tasks; so she came to him and asked, 'Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself? Tell her then to help me.' But the Lord answered her, 'Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things; there is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part, which will not be taken away from her.'
You've probably heard the phrase "behind every good man is a great woman." The idea is, of course, that the man is the one out front, achieving and earning and being, while the woman is behind the scenes making sure everything is ready all the time: dinner's cooked, house is clean, shirts are pressed, kids are fed. In the old-time-traditional church, this may have looked like the pastor being free to be holy while his wife and the women's group made sure there were potlucks, that casseroles were taken to the sick, that the communion was set up, that the fellowship hall linens were pressed, that the windows were washed, that the sign was updated, that the newsletter was full of interesting tidbits, that the nursery was staffed and the Sunday school taught, and that everything ran smoothly.
Nowadays, of course, these things are not just women's work—they're the work of anyone who happens to be around to do them. And, of course, being the pastor isn't just a man's job anymore. In fact, last year the Presbyterian Church celebrated the 50th anniversary of the ordination of women to the ministry of Word and Sacrament. And this year is the 98th year of the International Women's Day, a day when people around the world both work for and celebrate women's rights and gifts.
But in all this, whether men or women are doing the work in front of or behind the scenes, there's a common denominator.
There is a lot of stuff to get done, after all. Windows need to be washed, bookshelves need to be built, classes need to be taught, lunches need to be cooked. Plus our culture has some expectations—chief among them that we don't waste time. When we could be doing something and we're not, we are wasting a precious commodity. When we're awake, there's work to be done. Otherwise, we're lazy. There is an abundance of things to do—our lives are full to the brim with doing.
Martha's life was full too. When people came to town, she knew what she had to do. She invited them in, and then she set about the abundance of tasks required of a good hostess—offering them drinks, washing their feet, cooking dinner, cleaning up, setting the table, and making them comfortable. Martha's time was full to overflowing with things to do, while her slacker sister Mary just sat at Jesus' feet, looking up adoringly, soaking up his teaching. Mary was wasting time while Martha was working hard, and that did not sit well with Martha.
But when Martha's question came out, we could all hear the bitterness and the burnout. She'd been working so hard, all this time, and Mary was just lazy. Why couldn't she be more helpful? Why did she insist on sitting there, doing nothing?
Martha, Martha. It turns out that one of them is indeed wasting time, but it's not Mary. Martha is distracted by many things—she's spending her time for things that are not valuable, she's full to the brim and cannot hear what she's being called to do, she cannot receive the teaching and grace and abundance of the Lord because she has filled herself with distractions.
Mary, on the other hand, has apparently made the better choice—to sit at the feet of Jesus and listen to him. It looks like doing nothing, but it's actually doing the thing that matters most. She, like the psalmist, seeks only one thing:
to live in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to behold the beauty of the Lord,
and to inquire in his temple.
Mary has set aside the false abundance, the work that always expands to fill the available time, the cultural expectations, and has chosen to take some Sabbath time, to be with the Lord, to learn, to seek, to receive.
I'm sure you've all heard of the object lesson in which a teacher takes a jar and puts rocks in, and asks if the jar is full. The students say yes. Then the teacher puts small pebbles in, and asks if the jar is full. The students say yes. Then the teacher pours sand in and asks if the jar is full. The students say yes. Then the teacher asks them whether, if he had put the sand in first, there would have been room for the big rocks? Of course not. The teacher then says that the rocks are the important things in life: God, relationships, yourself, and the sand is the busywork of life. The point has to do with not filling your life up with the inconsequential things first—the sand—because there won't be room for the big important things—the rocks. It's easy to fill up with the sand or the pebbles, squeezing out the rocks. That's what Martha has done, and what Mary is trying not to do.
Perhaps Mary realized that only if she put the big things in first could she do the small things with grace and love. We can't serve and serve and serve, give and give and give, work and work and work, without first being filled up. We just can't sustain that much doing if we don't take time to allow ourselves to be fed, to allow ourselves to be filled. If we try, we end up letting our bitterness and burnout escape in questions like Martha's. No, first we have to let go of our false abundance, our jars filled with sand, and allow ourselves to be filled with God's abundance, with grace and peace and love and mercy. Only when we sit with Jesus, and listen to him, and allow him to fill us with grace and peace, can we then go about our serving. Otherwise, we are filling ourselves with distraction rather than true service.
The trouble with letting go of the false abundance and allowing true abundance to come in is that it makes us look lazy or greedy, or sometimes both. But while prayer, worship, education, and meditation may look like doing nothing, they're exactly the opposite. They are the things that feed us, that give us strength, the big rocks in our jars that ensure we have energy for the pebbles and the sand. The true abundance that comes only from God is worth clearing the sand for, worth sitting down for, worth leaving the dishes for! The psalmist says to wait for the Lord, to take courage—for we will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living—we will taste and see that God is good, here and now.
One symbol of the abundance that God has for us can be found at this table. Here there is a joyful feast, here there is enough to go around, here all can be fed. This is a meal where you are offered as much as you want—Jesus offers abundant life right here at this table, and all are welcome. I love serving communion, and I especially love serving children. They always come up and take the biggest piece they can—even as many of you parents are telling them to take "just a little piece." I love the idea that children know what this feast is about, they know that they are entitled to participate in the feasting. I think we tend to lose that as grown-ups—we take just a little piece as though that's all we're worthy of, or in case there isn't enough. But this is the Lord's table: there's always enough. This is a time when we set aside those cultural understandings of scarcity and abundance, when we leave our false abundance behind, and we come to experience God's abundance. Take a big piece! This is a feast—and someone else has prepared it and someone else is the host. All we do is sit at the feet of Jesus and enjoy the meal, and go out strengthened to serve with glad and joyful hearts.
Thanks be to God.

Doing Nothing? A Sermon for Lent 2 C/Celebration of Gifts of Women
3 comments:
Amen and Amen. What an excellent sermon, and funny you should publish it now. Last night our teaching was on David's "only one thing...to dwell in the house of the Lord" and this morning in worship, I imagined that I, like Mary, sat at Jesus' feet just enjoying his presence. Not particularly praying, or anything, but enjoying being with him.ReplyDelete
I'm a martha .. so having a mary moment was very refreshing.

As moms, we prioritize securing all the important articles to pack for the kids to make sure they have everything they need away from home and sometimes we can leave our own necessities to the last minute.
However, because of the limited shopping here in Nicaragua, I encourage you to plan ahead and bring what you will need from home, so that you are also at your best in your new life here in Granada. It is worth it to pay $25-40 for an extra piece of luggage on your flight over to shop for what you need in your own country at leisure, with a greater variety of choices at more competitive prices.
What to bring in your suitcase
I recommend that you bring more daily wear, exercise clothing, and underwear (especially bras as they lose elasticity over time) than you might normally anticipate needing. Clothes and shoes have a way of wearing down more quickly here and these articles are difficult to replace in Granada (possibly easier done in Managua but not at the better prices that you can pay in your home country).
There are a few elements working against us here in Granada. For clothes, just washing them in heavily treated water that contains extra chlorine will begin to fade colors rather quickly. If you hang your clothes out on the line, the sun can also speed up this process (a useful trick is both to wash and dry clothing arranged inside out). Also, we tend to sweat more in a tropical environment and it's dustier here; so chances are that you will wash your wardrobe more frequently.
A lot of moms like to take up yoga in Granada and there are some fantastic classes and instructors here. If you plan on making yoga part of your routine make sure that you bring enough workout wear (including sports bras) to get you through your extended stay, as those clothes get washed a lot depending on how many classes you take each week.
For shoes, I recommend bringing a pair of sneakers for hikes and exercise, sandals for daily wear and dressing up, and a few pairs of comfortable flip-flops for casual wear (I love to wear Crocs for comfort, durability and non-slippage on wet tile). Sandals are probably the easiest item to replace in Granada.
In general, you will want a lot of tops that breathe well and make you feel cool. What you normally wear in August back home will be right for Granada weather year round. You should bring a sweater for air-conditioned environments and trips into Northern Nicaragua and and a coat in case you fly back home into winter weather.
Skirts, shorts and jeans also work well in Granada and in beach areas, as well. Shorts work less well in other areas of Nicaragua including Managua, where they are considered too informal and revealing (skirts, pants and sandals also are better in banks and anything having to do with immigration and visas).
Don't forget to pack several bathing suits. At some point if you bring only one it will go threadbare on you and as you pick through some scarce, overpriced options in Managua, you will wish you had brought some backup. Bring a favorite sun hat or there are some stylish Panama hats sold around town.
The other clothing category that we tend to forget about is sleepwear. Think again about hot summer nights, potentially without air conditioning (depending on your home and budget). Also, imagine your house cleaner or pool cleaner arriving at 7:00 am and what clothes you might still be in when you greet them!
Dressing up
Nicaraguans value highly the effort you put into your presentation. For what that is worth to you, try an experiment with your most casual look with one that took some more forethought and see their reactions. I can bet that you will sense an appreciation for the pains you took to put it all together.
On that note, you will want to bring a few dressing up outfits. Particularly if your children are attached to a school here, there are occasions in Granada that require a more formal outfit. The school will host events for socializing and for predictable dates like end-of-year promotion and it is nice having those clothes, shoes, jewelry and a purse all lined up ready to go. You will see your Nicaraguan counterparts in dresses and heels for these events and they love to see you getting into the occasion, too.
Stock up on favorite cosmetics and toiletries
If you have a favorite lipstick or waterproof mascara bring 2 or 3! Items like these are imported and pricey here. I love this Maybelline, waterproof mascara but it $15 dollars here in Nicaragua! I also recommend to pack more of your favorite toothpaste (there's something very unsatisfying about the toothpaste here…), 50+ SPF Kiss My Face waterproof face cream for swimming, and full body 50+SPF Alba waterproof spray sunblock that smells great.
By the way, tampons are much harder to find here in Nicaragua. If you are stickler for organic cotton tampons like I am, make sure you plan ahead. If you run out your favorite organic products you can easily order them here.
If you dye your hair at home bring a couple of boxes of your favorite brand and color just to have one less thing to think of in your first months of being here. There is a good line of Loreal hair dye called Casting Crème Gloss that is sold at La Colonia that doesn't use ammonia, if you need it.
My one tricky, bulky item
If your family will be living in Granada for more than six months, I recommend that you bring your favorite blender. I get asked about bikes, scooters and even TVs, but the one bulky item that I do suggest bringing and have myself brought is a Vitamix blender. Within seconds it blends all these fresh tropical fruits with a couple cups of ice and makes a perfect smoothie full of immunity-building vitamins and antioxidants.
I use my blender at least once a day; Aiden gets a smoothie every time I pick him up from school, cooling him down and buying me time if he's hungry or agitated.
To get it here, I packed both the pitcher and the motor base in my carry-on luggage, to assure that it arrived safely, but first removed the blade with this wrench to check it in with other luggage to avoid security issues.
Final thoughts
It's good to try to pack well for your comfort Mom. You are important, too and you will want your energy to be focused on helping your kids transition into their new environment rather than hunting down this and that in a foreign land.
Having said that, the important things is really just getting here and having this special opportunity and venue to connect with family. If there is something missing in your suitcase, it's really all secondary to the bigger picture of why you are here. So once you have given your packing list your best effort, know that you did what you could and you will figure out the rest when you get to Granada!

It could even create issues with your furnace's control switch, which works furnace operation. There are a few other reasons you may call for a furnace repair. We've compiled some indicators for you to look for. The earlier you can call for a heat pump repair, the better. Call in a pro, like Banister's Heating & Air Conditioning Services, if you see any of these signs: Your blower doesn't seem to be operating properly. Is it working enough? Is it running all the time? Is the air blowing through as liberally as it should, or does it seem weak? Indications related to your blower could signify a bit of a problem with your air filter or the internal blower. Your home isn't getting warm enough. Are you hiking up the thermostat again and again, but you're still chilly? This could be a problem with your thermostat. It may be that your furnace is too undersized for your home. It may even be a problem with your gas source or your pilot light, amid other things. Your furnace is loud. If your furnace starts working noisily or making noises you're not used to hearing, there could be a problem. You smell gas. You definitely don't want to interfere with this one. If you smell gas, cut off your furnace immediately and shut down its gas supply. Stay clear from lighting matches or changing on lights until your HVAC technician or your gas company inspects it. You find water pooling around your furnace. Usually this is a clogged condensation line. This could demand both plumbing and HVAC pros to solve. Your utility bill keeps growing. If your bill is rising, but your usage is not, there could be a series of problems. Your HVAC expert will help find out what's going wrong. Now that you've read these signs, you'll know when you need to schedule furnace repair. And we're here when you need it.

This scheme is designed to reward companies that develop, retain and exploit patents in the UK. It is administered by HMRC. The tax on profits from patented inventions is reduced to 10%.
It may be that the patented element of the product or process is minor. But 100% of a company's worldwide profits arising from product income should qualify for 10% corporation tax.
We can help you actively identify, value, manage, and exploit your IP. We can identify opportunities for patent applications and claiming a Patent Box corporation tax saving.
Our work is in itself a valuable audit of your intangible IP assets. Whatever your business, your product and process IP could be significant and can be one of the most valuable assets your business owns.
Whatever works for you, from offering the specific piece of advice you need through to handling the whole process from start to finish.
We can manage your Patent Box election and claim from start to finish, which includes dealing with any HMRC queries along the way.
More than that we can undertake a programme of patent extension work, where we aim to extend the life and size of return from the Patent Box legislation.
The Patent Box is closely linked with R&D tax relief and a company can often claim tax relief under both schemes.
GovGrant can offer you advice to maximise your claims across both schemes and how to use your IP in support of your commercial strategy.
Even if the patented element of the product is small, 100% of income from the whole product should qualify
The reduction in corporation tax rate applies to profits generated in the 'patent pending' period
To qualify for Patent Box tax relief, only a GB patent is required
The scheme includes IP profits derived from worldwide sales and patent licence revenues

Finished goblins went up on the site last week- forgot to mention that.
Starting sketches of a hydra today. Debating whether or not it's blind. More later.

Finished goblins went up on the site last week- forgot to mention that.
Starting sketches of a hydra today. Debating whether or not it's blind. More later.
Complete and up on the site now- go have a look! www.monokrome.net
Sketches of goblins coming later today.
is underway-
Starting painting her today. This one is going to take some hours to finish though… lots of hours. Good thing we have a 3 day weekend coming up!
Unicorn (or Unicron as R as taken to calling it) is completed and up on the site. Pencils are finished for the next piece 'The Prophetess' and I'm getting underway on ideas for the fourth and fifth. Plans are to finish all five by July- 10 by the end of August (or more) and have an exhibition of all the pieces in the fall.
So far things are going well… speaking with the Chair of Illustration at RMCAD next week, and hopefully I'll be teaching there in the fall as an adjunct. I have a lot of concerns, all of which I hope to address with him over dinner.
So here's to hoping.
No new art to post yet- I need to scan my pencils first- that should come either later today or tomorrow! Check out the main site www.monokrome.net of course for the finished unicorn. It's right after the ember soldier.
What's new what's new… not a lot.. but I am working on a series of illustrations. Unfortunately my progress was hindered by the loss of my secondary hard drive. (A brand new Seagate Barracuda 500GB). Apparently mine was part of a whole line of drives that were dropping like flies.
So I, like many others, fell victim to a malfunction, and thus I am left with a paperweight that needs to be returned for a replacement. (I pray they don't give me another of the same as these are still on the market.) Of course, now I realize I really should invest in an external drive so I can actually back up my work.
But here are some jpegs of what I was working on before I lost it. Fortunately, the original pencils are.. well.. still intact, obviously, so it's a fresh scan and several hours until I'm back at where I was a week ago.
So here's the pencils of my new work:
A little bit of color:
And a lot of progress:
Supposedly what doesn't kill you makes you stronger- so here's hoping that this work turns out even more fantastic on the second go-round.
I've also got a drawing of a unicorn being devoured by insects in the works… but I have not yet scanned it. (That's what this weekend is for.)
So- I should have more stuff in the coming days as I'm feeling totally psyched to do some new work.
Also here's another quickie I did a few weeks ago:
Annnd color:
And maybe needless to say.. but I love red. And muted purple.. and greys with color in them.

What a day! This morning it was very windy and was still raining and there was not a spot of snow left on our yard. By 10:00 it turned to freezing rain; then more snow!...and with the strong wind, the snow was blinding. There were so many accidents this afternoon. People will not slow down…or stop texting or on their phones…in bad weather. The police actually caught some people on their phones while passing the snow plow in blinding snow and freezing rain. Some people never learn!
End of rant! On with the today's card.
I love making these cards. Simply die cut any shape….I happen to like ovals…and use it as a mask. Place it over white cardstock and lightly sponge any colour on. Then stamp an image with the same colour only using it full strength. Its easy to get a real dark stamping if you are lucky enough to own a stamp positioner like the Misty or Tim Holtz's..which is what I have because my darling daughters bought it for me for my birthday!
Then I wrapped some matching ribbon around it and added a stamped sentiment. Quick and easy but such a nice effect.
I did some cleaning this morning and then spent the rest of day playing in my lower studio (aka the basement) making some new cards. Tune in again on Monday to see some of them!
That's all for a windy, cold, snowy, rainy, freezing rain kind of Friday!
Don't forget you are more than welcome to save any cards or other items I post to your Pinterest account for future reference. Simply place the curser over the picture until the Pinterest save sign shows up in the top left corner and enter. This will take you to your Pinterest account. If it doesn't work, please leave a comment and let me know so I fix it. Thanks.

Here we are, at Thanksgiving week 2017, and I have been thinking recently about the personal connection that comes from sitting around a table. Recently we started hosting lunches for foreign exchange clients of City National to discuss the global economy with our head trader, Alan Rose.
While these events are not as personal or intimate as a Thanksgiving table, our entrepreneurial clients find it valuable to learn about how the global economy may affect their businesses.
A few years ago I heard something about the Thanksgiving table that I took to heart: It is often a checkpoint for life's changes. New people join our Thanksgiving celebrations each year, while others have left the table.
For City National, this is our third celebration of the U.S. Thanksgiving as part of the Royal Bank of Canada team.
For those of us on the south side of the border, Alan, who drives the conversations around our FX round tables, found some interesting facts about Canada. Maybe you can use them around your dinner table this week.
- Canada just celebrated its 150th birthday on July 12, 2017.
- Canada is the second-largest country in the world in terms of land mass.
- The Canadian/U.S. border is the longest common border between two countries in the world.
- Some 75 percent of the Canadian population lives within 100 miles of the U.S. border.
- Canada is the most educated country in the world with slightly over 50 percent of its residents having a completed college degree; the U.S. equivalent is near 34 percent.
- The population of Canada is near 36 million; the population of California alone is near 39 million.
- Canada is the No. 2 trading partner of the U.S. behind China. It lost the No. 1 position recently, mainly due to the decline in oil prices.
At this time of year, of course we take stock of the many things we are grateful for: Certainly, for both RBC and City National, a strong economy is one of those things. Here's one more fast fact: GDP growth in the U.S. is skating along around 3 percent and Canada's GDP has been even better at 3.5 percent, the first time that level of growth has been sustained in three or four years.
On that note, from City National Foreign Exchange, we wish you all a happy and healthy Thanksgiving.

GRANT, "RiGht HeRe"
New American producer/singer Grant Klinger has some unique ideas up his sleeve with "RiGht HeRe". Using an easily identifiable lyrical theme about a guy who's waiting for his gal to stop messing and flirting with other guys, probably to an unsatisfying end, Grant shapes his triphop style with a sparse sound that throws his vocal and lyrics up front. So "RiGht HeRe" still has a raw hip hop quality about it but can easily sneak through the EDM doors of clubs too. Give it a listen above. I think remixers could put some interesting spins on it too.

One of the best ways to build your online presence is with a blog. Writing A Blog will increase your exposure online and result in many opportunities. If you have a small business, a blog can help it thrive. You can even get paid for just voicing an opinion of something on a blog. Read on to find out how to blog for fun or profit.
Don't go overboard with SEO keywords, extra plugins, advertising, or pictures. If you do this, search engines will flag you, negating all the work you are doing. Strive for smooth writing that flows naturally.
Blog about things people care about. While you might want to blog about vacuuming your house or washing your dishes, these are tasks that almost everyone does. Unless your blogs are unique when writing about common topics, people won't read it. Look for a topic that will engage readers. Keep in mind that your overall goal is to gain regular readers for your site.
Ask some popular bloggers to guest post on your blog. This is a simple way to add more high-quality content to your site. It is also a great way to get a boost in traffic numbers. Try to have a rotation of guest authors on your blog.
Make sure to post content regularly to keep your readers coming in. Some of the best blogs update at least once daily. If you can't imagine maintaining that pace, then pre-write several weeks' worth of content. This will give you posts that you can use to fill the gaps when you are having trouble.
it is useful to add lists to your blog. Lists are important whether your blog is about recipes and cooking, or whether it is about what you need for overhauling your Volkswagon van. Readers are naturally drawn to lists, which summarize the most important part of a blog quickly and succinctly.
At this point, you should know more about writing a blog and how to use it to your own advantage. You may want to refer back to this article as you implement the ideas you have learned.

This is the third Mona bra I have purchased and although I would like the shoulder straps to be a little longer the bra is very soft and comfortable
I have already bought several of these bras as I found them soft, comfortable and supportive.
As I had to wear a bra day and night for a couple of after my reconstruction surgery, I selected this one. And was not dissappointed. It was so comfortable and secure to sleep in . It is a very supportive bra and now it's the only one I wear.
I own the Mona bra in 40B. It has a lot of room in the cup around my size 6 ABC breast form. Ordered a 40A to reduce the room in the cup. There are only two hooks instead of three which makes the band smaller a less comfortable for me.
A comfortable and well-fitting everyday bra which looks good.
initially bought one Mona bra to try out as it seems so difficult to get a good fit. This si my second order and I think I will stick with this design for ever!!
Breda funktionella axelband. Bra bredd på bandet runt ryggen. Ger stadga då protesen är ganska tung.
Bought for my mom who I now have to shop for so this is the first time I have had to purchase mastectomy items. This bra was really pretty, lovely quality and a nice fit. Quick delivery.

A doctor volunteering in war-torn Congo performed a life-saving amputation on a teenage boy using text message instructions from a colleague in London.
Vascular surgeon David Nott was working 24-hour shifts with medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) in Rutshuru when he came across the 16-year-old.
His left arm had been ripped off, either in an accident or as a result of the fighting between Congolese and rebel troops, and was badly infected and gangrenous.
Mr Nott, 52 and a surgeon at Charing Cross Hospital, in west London, said: "He was dying. He had about two or three days to live when I saw him."
He knew that the teenager's only hope of survival was a forequarter amputation, a huge operation which requires the surgeon to remove the collar bone and shoulder blade.
He had never performed the operation but knew a colleague from the UK who had.
"I texted him and he texted back step by step instructions on how to do it.
"Even then I had to think long and hard about whether it was right to leave a young boy with only one arm in the middle of this fighting.
"But in the end he would have died without it so I took a deep breath and followed the instructions to the letter.
"I knew exactly what my colleague meant because we have operated together many times."
Such an operation, if done in the UK, would require careful planning with every sort of modern medical product on hand if things went wrong.
But in the Congo Mr Nott had just one pint of blood and an elementary operating theatre.
Despite the hurdles, the operation, performed in October, was a success and the teenager made a full recovery. Mr Nott volunteers with MSF for a month every year. He said: "It was just luck that I was there and could do it. I don't think that someone that wasn't a vascular surgeon would have been able to deal with the large blood vessels involved. That is why I volunteer myself so often, I love being able to save someone's life."

Rabbi Z. Yosef Burstyn
Asking a Kasha
I came to Lakewood as a talmid in the summer of Tof-Shin-Yud-Tes[1]. They were learning Gittin. I had previous experiences in Lakewood. I used to come with my father, olav hashalom, for Shabbasos, a Shabbos each winter for a few years, spend Shabbos in Lakewood. Weĺd daven in yeshiva. The reason for being here was basically around the yeshiva.
The winter prior to my coming here, they were learning Kesubos, and I listened to the shiur and had a kasha on the shiur. Although I was very young, I happened to remember a Rambam that was a steera to a yesod that the Rosh Yeshiva brought out in the shiur. I went to the chazaras hashiur of Reb Yankel Schiff. After hearing the shiur again, I still felt it was a kasha and asked him. He asked around, but he didnĺt have a teretz to the kasha. He insisted that I ask the kasha to the Rosh Yeshiva.
And having the yiras hakavod, for basically the attitude was that there was a tremendous gap between our generation and a gadol from prior to the war, one of the Gedolim, one of the active Gedolim of Klal Yisroel prior to the milchama, I couldnĺt see myself coming and asking a kasha. So I asked him (Yankel Schiff) if he could go instead, and bĺshum ofen[2], he just took me by the hand and almost led me to the door to the Rosh Yeshiva and made me go in.
I knew that I wouldnĺt have the presence of mind to speak too many words, so I took in the Rambam, and I pointed to the Rambam, while walking into the door.
The Rosh Yeshiva immediately said, ôIch veis dem Rambam. Zeit gezunt. Ich veis dem Rambam.[3]ö
He immediately said a whole maĺaracha to be meyashev the machlokes in the Yerushalmi[4], the Rambam is one way, and our sugya is different. And mĺmeila, he said that itĺs not a steera to Rambam.
After that, I had the haĺaza at a young age - I was learning at that time in Yeshivas Chasan Sofer by Rav Paller, zecher tzaddik lĺvrocha, who just passed away ľ and being that I had this experience, I felt more encouraged that I could attempt to approach the Rosh Yeshiva to come to Lakewood, which I did, and came at that point.
Coming to Lakewood
When I came, there were between 90 and 100 bochurim learning at yeshiva. There were about 30 yungeleit, including the older yungeleit that learnt in Kletzk yet and those that were Americans. The bochurim were mostly in the older 20ĺs. It was very rare that somebody would get married in their lower 20ĺs. There were yechidim I donĺt remember their names, but there definitely were very few. I probably wasnĺt the youngest at that time, but there were very few even around my age.
The subject here our relationship to the Rosh Yeshiva. The Rosh Yeshiva inspired us in many ways, mostly in his devotion to the Torah, his hiskashrus to Torah, in his hashkafa and emuna that Torah is Elokus. Our yachas to the Ribbono Shel Olam is only through Torah. He impressed this hashkafa by his being, his speech, his maasim, by everything. It wasnĺt just the schmoozen.
Maasim Make the Strongest Impression
At that time, the schmoozen didnĺt play much role in yeshiva. The ikur was the shiur that Rosh Yeshiva stressed. And I started typing the schmoozen myself and later, the shiurim, too. But I had a specific interest in the hashkafa.
But more than what he said, itĺs the way he said it. And I think that there were people who didnĺt understand the shiur, but just watching him, how he said the shiur with such passion, and how it meant so much to him, that strengthened again the commitment to Torah. And the intensity of this commitment was impressed upon us, sei by the hashkafa and the schmoozen, and sei by the ofen of learning and giving the shiur, and everything that went along with it. If it was nogeah to middos, that middos are a heiche timtza[5] for Torah, kedushah and taharah, yiras Shamayim, kiyum hamitzvos[6]. Itĺs all part of Torah, and Torah cannot exist without these.
The Rosh
Yeshiva used to say kĺseder that if it would be
shayach to change a kutzo shel Yu[7]d
from the Torah, the whole world would fall apart
and mĺmaila the intensity of dealing with these
issues was all directed to this one burning goal of Torah,
Torah bĺtaharah, Torah bĺkedushah, Torah bĺyiras Shamayim,
Torah bĺmiddos tovos[8].
Torah with complete commitment in kamus and eichus,[9]
devoting every minute to Torah. And we saw that he
lived with this.
Synonymous with Torah
Although he was osek bĺklal[10] and it was all nogea to kiyum haTorah and the kiyum of Klal Yisroel, and to ahavas yisrael which is a chelek of Torah, but the minute that he got off a very involved eisek in Klal Yisroel - speaking to Europe or to Eretz Yisroel with the Gedolei Yisroel, askanus, and expressing his daas Torah, how seriously he took it, and how he got involved with all the pratim - but the minute he got off the phone, he was right away engrossed in iyun, in learning. His life was Torah. He kĺseder had these various tirdos in raising money for the yeshiva and Chinuch Atzmai, and his being asked daas Torah, and his involvement in osek bĺtzorchei tzibur[11], but he felt that all this was only arai lĺgabbai the Torah[12] and the purpose of it was also only because of Torah.
So I think basically, the Rosh Yeshiva was synonymous with Torah in all facets of life. And this came across to anyone that crossed his path.
The shiur was definitely a siman of a his gevaldigge kishron and a gevaldigge intensity of his iyun and his amkus. I heard from Rĺ Chazkel Sarna, zecher tzaddik lĺvrocha, who said that in Slobodka yet, they saw him in bein hazmanim, in the forest, speaking in learning. He had one foot on the stump of a tree, and he was being meĺayin in RĺAlfas in Yevamos. They left - I think they went to eat - and hours later, they came back, and he was still in the same spot with the same RĺAlfas of Yevamos with a gevaldigge koach of concentration and amikus, which can only come as an outcome of a gevaldigge dechilus (unclear) to understand Torah and every prat of Torah.
We used to watch him a little bit and even listen under the door sometimes, when he was osek with inyanei tzibur[13], he was very intense. I remember at one point he dictated a letter that had to be in English. And Rĺ Shamshon Rafoel Weiss was at that time the vice president of Young Israel and the OU. He himself learned in the Mir. And they discussed how to dictate that letter, and he wanted to use the term ôchochmaö and Rabbi Weiss used one word, and he said, ôNein. Ich vil chochma mit erfohrung tzuzamenö[14], ôWith Experience togetherö and then he said ôWisdom?ö ôYes, wisdom!ö
He was meĺayin to use the correct word because it was nogea to the inyan of the klal and he didnĺt take anything superficially. He was intent in using every koach, every talent, and taking the time for it, and the machshava with the full intensity. He lived that way. His dikduk in halacha, in middos, gevaldigge amkus and hisbonenus in the mussar, and.today, the kedushas Reb Aharon, itĺs so inevitable.
Stories of the Tzaddikim
Even in maasei sippurei tzaddikim[15], which he used to spend time for, on one hand, he was a gevaldigger masmid, but Shabbos at the meal, he took his time. Sei speaking in learning, sei in zemiros which he had hekpeda which was misdama altz kovod Shabbos[16], and to ask the bochurim to sing. And also at times, especially Yom Tov, and even sometimes on Shabbos, he used to be medayek very much in sippurei tzaddikim[17], why it happened this way, and what the cheshbon was and how, if this tzaddik was this way and if somebody else was a different way. And you saw his approach to the life of a tzaddik and to the hashgacha, and how the Ribbono shel Olam firs[18] how they lived. It was also with that iyun and amikus. He used to taitch up hashgacha in the maasim.
When something happened, he had a reason why it happened, and why it happened to somebody in the family and not to himself. He was the one who took the blame for it - because of his koach haTorah it wasnĺt was him, but someone in his mishpacha had a pogea. Things like this, both in his own life and in the lives of so-called tzaddikim, he had a Torah shleima. He didnĺt take it superficially. Itĺs all a chelek of Torah and emunah.
Dikduk in Halacha
Personally, what I heard mostly were things that were nogea to halacha. We used to take turns driving him. He used to be here for an extended weekend, coming on a Thursday and leaving Monday after the shiur. He said a shiur on Shabbos or in the winter time, Motzai Shabbos. Also on Monday. After that, Monday afternoon, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday morning, he was in New York.
So we used to take turns driving him. When it was my turn, what I remember is he took an interest to bnei Torah. His approach to baaeli batim - it was important that they understand the chashivus of Torah and they be tomech more than the etzem getting the funds to the Yeshiva which the yeshiva so needed. That was part of his Avodah.
And I remember that as far as halacha was concerned, I was sent by the office to buy danishes both for myself and the Rosh Yeshiva. I gave the Rosh Yeshiva the danish. He made a bracha and he ate two-thirds up to the three quarters of danish. He didnĺt finish it. And I encouraged him to finish it because I thought he left over in order that Iĺd have. I showed him that I bought for myself also.
He said, ôNo.ö
He was choshesh for daled beĺim[19], he was machmir in shiurim[20], although you can be maikel. And according to the smaller shiur, a full danish could have daled beim and youĺd need ôal netilas yadaim[21].ö So he was machmir in that.
Saying Kedusha
Something else he told me was that he held that saying Kedusha is the kiyum DĺOraisa of the Rashi ôBesoch Bnei Yisraelö[22] (unclear). And I thought many times that Iĺm sorry that I didnĺt ask him specifically, but he kept the minhag of a short Shemoneh Esrei because those people who are maarich[23] Shemoneh Esrei more than the shaliach tzibur should have a chance at least by Mincha to say Kedusha. But I saw the chashivus, the importance that he said of saying Kedusha with the tzibur.
16:48 ľ 18:00 ľ Sound is warped.
More Small Halachos
I do remember him washing considerably after the shkiya for shalosh seudos and it didnĺt seem that he was that much in a rush. I also remember coming from Tashlich that he was getting a little late, so he was looking in a machzor in the yotzros in case now is bein hashmashos and heĺs not maichen[24] for the second day.
Another Rosh Yeshiva
What is mentioned now here about his attitude goes back to what I said before how I asked on the shiur, itĺs yadua that he was very harsh in order to protect his Torah. It was like a ben yachid[25]. I remember that a chashuver Rosh Yeshiva from Chevron Yeshiva in Eretz Yisroel came, he was also related to him, and he was machshiv him, and was mechabed him. But he came and he asked on the shiur, so he immediately stopped him.
ôZeit gezunt[26],ö he answered to him, he thought he was out of his mind.
The second time he interrupts again, he answered him immediately ôLernt up de Gemara, Rashi, Tosfos, aider ir fregt[27]ö.
The third time, this Rosh Yeshiva sort of chapped ois[28] onto what he was about to say, so he set epes one-syllable, and he said, ôGut! Gut[29]!ö And then he gave a smile and said, ôDem ershten mol[30].ö
And it was completely different than the way he treated people, but when it came to learning and to the chiddushei Torah that he was huruved on he was very protective and very passionate about it.
Honoring Bĺnei Torah
He was very mechabed bĺnei Torah, even bochurim. It impressed me - even bochurim that were not completely in learning, they were partially meshamshim and werenĺt into learning. There were those that were already osek in meshamshin, but he insisted on calling them ôReb.ö
I remember there was one that had a nickname, the olam knew him only by his nickname, but the Rosh Yeshiva insisted on calling him, ôReb So-and-So.ö When he asked a bochur to call him, and this bochur didnĺt know who he was referring to, he repeated it a few times until the bochur would know who this person was, with a smile, and then he called him by his nickname. But he was very medakdek in the kavod of the Torah.-ajr

Nano Technology
Nano technology has to do with a micro scale measured in nano metres (1 billionth of a metre, which is roughly 1000th of the thickness of a human hair). In ceramics, tiles faces are coated with nano-sized ceramic particles that penetrate micro pores of the surface with the help of suitable suspension agents, all applied under very high pressure with a special imported machine. Such nano technology helps the tiles face gain a never-before glossiness of at least 90%. Along with other desirable characteristics like skid resistance, stain resistance, durability and easy maintenance.

The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) stressed the commission's commitment to ensuring the delivery of accessible high speed broadband across the northern states of Nigeria. The Director, Consumer Affairs Bureau of NCC, Mrs Maryam Bayi made these clarification during the 71st edition of Nigerian Communications Commission's (NCC) Consumer Outreach Programme (COP) held on Thursday, 5th March, 2015 in Kaduna.
The programme with the theme "The Benefits of Broadband to Telecom Consumers" brought together customers and all services providers together in fulfillment of NCC's policy of protecting, informing and educating the consumer. The Consumer Outreach Programme (COP) is a bi-monthly event hosted by NCC at semi-urban areas across the six geo-political zones of the country since March 2002.
Speaking on the theme, Mrs Bayi highlighted the boundless opportunities broadband brings to small businesses, students and individuals, emphasizing students take advantages of it. She said broadband has enhanced governance, created jobs, support human and social infrastructure, and capital development.
To ensure the delivery of such high speed broadband services, Mrs. Bayi, highlighted efforts of the commission and the Federal Government in its actualization to include the establishment of the National Broadband Plan, frequency licensing in the 70/80GHz spectrum bands, and auction of 30MHZ bandwidth on the 2.3GHz spectrum.
The Director Spectrum Administration, Engr. Austin Nwauluna gave further details on the frequency licensing which were offered recently to MainOne and HIS Consortium as InfraCos for Lagos and North Central zone respectively. He said the licensing of other five InfraCos for the remaining geo-political zones of the country to provide metropolitan fibre and wholesale transmission service on a non-discriminatory, open access, and price regulated basis would be completed before the end of the year – the development Mrs Bayi said is expected to further drive broadband penetration and fast track Nigeria's 8% per cent penetration to 30 % by 2018.
However, she stressed the need to ensure that the broadband equipment are always safe and secure in order to have unhindered internet services.
Customers took turn to throw their complaints which include; unsolicited text messages, credit disappearance, unlawful deduction of credit for value added services, poor response from Customer Care Centres, among others. NCC and Service providers then offered clarifications on questions and complaints forwarded.
"As a regulator, we have the responsibility of ensuring that consumers receive value for their money, at the same-time protect the interest of service providers who have invested huge funds into the economy – according to the act establishing the commission." Bayi added.
Mrs Bayi further responded to questions posed on fears on the dangers of erecting masts in residential areas, saying there was no scientific evidence that such masts pose any health threat to citizens. She however said indications are that emissions from our mobile phone may have negative effect on our health in event of constant long use; and therefore advised the use of hands-free features.
The event which was held at the Faculty of Science Lecture Theater, Kaduna State University (Main Campus) had the Vice Chancellor Prof. William Barnabas Qurix represented by DVC Dr. A.K Babado; Dean Faculty of Science, Prof. Amos Yahaya; Prof. Abdullahi Ashafa among other senior lecturers.
While the NCC team included Commissioner, Alhaji Mohammed Mustapha Bintube; Director Consumer Affairs, Mrs Maryam Bayi; Director/Commission Secretary, Mr. Felix Adeoye, Director Spectrum, Engr. Austin; and Deputy Director Consumer Affairs, Dr. Femi Atoyebi.

Little Knox has arrived! We are loving having him home and being a family of four, well 6 if you count Liberty and Gypsy!
On Tuesday evening, we were getting ready to go get some dinner, when my water broke...at least I thought it was. I wasn't sure, but I called the doctor anyway! She wanted me to wait 2 hours and come in. It continued so I was pretty sure it was my water. We had our nanny come and stay with Nella and headed to the hospital at 9. When I got there, they put us in a labor and delivery room, I was pretty sure this was really happening. By 5:30 AM, I was at 5 centimeters! I had contractions all night long and a lot of back labor pains actually through out the whole labor. By 11, I was ready to have him and in a half an hour, he was here! Oh my it was the most crazy, painful, wonderful, heart melting experience. He was so perfect. They put the little guy on my chest, but he wasn't pinking up and he continued to stay a white blue color. They took him over to the warmer. It was so scary because I could totally tell that something was wrong as they kept telling me they were just wanting to get a better look at him. Before I knew it, NICU had arrived and was going to take him because his oxygen rate was too fast and he was having difficulty breathing. I sent Matt to be with Knox and began to pray and pray that our little guy would be fine!!! I felt God, I knew he would be okay. God sent this great peace over me! After I had something to eat, I headed straight to NICU. I was thankful I had a natural labor or I wouldn't have been able to go see him right away. It was scary to see this little guy all under the warmers with leads, IV, and heart monitor on him! They said they found fluid in his lungs and both lungs were partially collapsed. They wanted to keep him in NICU and redo the chest Xray and blood work tomorrow. They were concerned he had pneumonia. We weren't allowed to hold him for a while. That was the hardest. I wanted to be able to hold him and tell him mommy and daddy were here! Knox ending up having fluid in his lungs from delivery and he continued to have to be monitored in NICU the whole time were in the hospital. He had a feeding tube at one point because he wasn't able to drink and breath correctly, then had to drink formula because I didn't have anything yet for him, but we made it! And he is doing great! I am thankful God protected us! I am thankful GOD sent us such an angel!
He is such a sweet baby! Very easy going and very sweet!!!! He has the sweetest little face! And oh boy is he an eater!!! He has gained 6 ounces in 6 days!! Oh my! The nurses were shocked when they weighted him yesterday! He is great sleeper! He has been sleeping midnight to 5 and then waking up around 7:30. He is doing such a great job! He is a week old today!!! Crazy that he has been with us with a week already! I have loved every minute of this little angel!
Oh and my Nella!!! SHE ADORES HIM! She loves him and is constantly kissing and hugging him! She sings to him all the time! And if he is crying or upset, Nella really calms him. Just hearing her voice makes him quiet quickly!!! We are so blessed!
Matt and I were laying in bed together talking last night and we just feel so amazed by our family! Amazed by God's blessing and how he brought our children to us!!! He is so good! We are all so in love!


text: So I have done a lot of reading in these forums, and tons of other websites...and I have gathered some pretty decent ideas on how to tame your tegu...these are not all of them and really the point of making this post is to get some general tips that people have learned from ether personal experience or like myself from reading... These are some tips...feel free to correct me and add w.e you think is a good general way to tame them. *Never Feed in the cage. ~Leads to a huge mess as these guys don't always keep their food in there bowl. ~can lead to impaction...food that's fed in the cage can get covered in the substrate and then eaten. ~Feeding them Outside of their cage can help stop cage aggression as they wont associate the cage as a place to eat. ~by taking the tegu out of the cage to feed them you have a daily positive event that your Tegu will associate with you. *Shirt trick ~This one is pretty simple, by having the tegu surrounded by your scent and realizing that nothing bad happens when he is around that smell, could lead to him not being so scared or timid when he is around you. It's all about the positive events. *Heat Lamp trick ~I saw this on YouTube...the poster got a heat lamp set it up next to the couch so that it was pointing at her lap..the Tegu would then be forced to lay on her lap in order to get heat..more positive events that the tegu will associate with you *Water Dish ~Fill his water dish when the tegu can clearly see that you are the reason that he is getting water...you are the water god giver of water! *Hand Feeding ~This is a very debatable subject. I can see this being positive as long as you hand feeding him is not the only interaction that the tegu associates with you. this is similar to the water trick..if he knows that he has to be around you in order to eat I can't see why he would attack..as long as ur not starving him. (just my opinion I have no first hand with this idea) Proper/Daily handling ~I think most people know the proper way to pick up a tegu. and with daily holdings he will again see you as a positive experience. never pick him up from the top as this is not natural and can simulate being attacked. *The Escape ~I have seen this done in 2 different situations. In the Cage or in the bathtub ~By making you and your arm the only way to get out, you are making him have physical interaction by his own will..no forcing..(sort of) These are all that I can think of...again if you think that something i wrote is not a good idea then feel free to say so and to also give your own tips. I hope this turns into a very informative Post

Many couples ask ''what is an engagement shoot''?
It is not necessarily a shoot because you are engaged as many couples are engaged long before they meet us, It is more a case of getting to know us and how we work and also about you feeling comfortable in front of a camera.
The first thing most brides and grooms say to us is ''we hate having our photograph taken.'' The engagement shoot relaxes people and more often than not it shows them that they can, and do take a lovely photo, it's all about catching someone at the right moment with the right expression, laughing or smiling naturally, or even just talking.
The shoot is held on location and we love it if you can suggest a place that is special to you or somewhere you spend time together, or that reflects your personalities. If you are struggling to think of somewhere we are happy to make some suggestions for you (we once did a shoot at the zoo as the couple got engaged on safari in Africa!).
You get to give us feedback on the photos, you may not like a certain type of picture of yourself or a certain angle, we can then make sure we avoid these shots on your wedding day. Just by meeting up again it makes us all more personal with each other, chatting about your plans over a coffee (or something stronger) during the shoot.
The photos will go onto an online gallery for you to view and download as you wish, some couples use the photos in a signing book on their wedding day, if you choose to do this we could design and provide the album for you or you can do it yourself. The photos will also be put onto your USB after the wedding for you to keep.

October 27, 2017
When booking your shoot, it's normal to want it to be personalized and unique to you. There are so many little details that go into your day that there is no way it couldn't be special! From the different choices of hair, makeup, and wardrobe, you're already on your way to creating YOUR perfect shoot.
As I was planning my shoot, I knew I wanted something a little extra. Did you know that the Alyssa Michelle Team offers outdoor shoot add ons?! I didn't until Alyssa emailed me asking if I wanted to add anything on. I was thrilled at the option of making my shoot that much more unique to me.
The outdoor option is an add on to your bedroom shoot that brings a lot of flare and personality to your day. After your morning bedroom shoot, you will have the day to yourself, then meet back up with the Alyssa's at your desired location to continue your session.
There are two different outdoor options: The Industrial Trailhead and Thomas Riley Park. The Industrial Trailhead features an underpass making for darker edgier feel, a bike path, a cacti grove, and stunning trees that allow lots of sunlight to beam through. Thomas Riley Park has a gorgeous open field creating an endless beauty feel. It opens to various trails, and big beautiful trees that allows light to peak through for some very artsy light spills.
I decided on The Industrial Trailhead. It was a little more edgy for my personality, but still offered some scenic spots to create the nature vibe that I desired. It ended up being the perfect touch I was looking for to make my shoot my own.
As I got out of my car and headed to the underpass, I was very self conscious wearing nothing but some lingerie out into the world. Soon, that fear was a distant memory. Both the Alyssa's were able to make me feel safe and comfortable, as if it was totally normal to be in a bra and undies in public.
Let me tell you, there is nothing that gives you more of an adrenaline high then being only partially clothed as people race past you on bikes. Brakes slamming and heads spinning to get a look was an odd but rewarding confidence boost. I felt empowered and like a damn prize to see!
Growing up as a "rebel" kid in Orange County, I spent a lot of time on trails and hanging out under streets. This location helped me tie in who I was on such another level. I felt at home, as if this is location really brought out me in my photos.
Once we were done at the underpass, we moved into a cactus area. I instantly felt at peace with the plants around me. This outdoor location made me feel calm and beautiful. The lighting is different, you're in an open place, and the nature surrounding you adds a special touch of beauty to your photos.
After this experience, I went home feeling so proud and refreshed. Looking at my photos, I had the very touch of "extra and unique" I wanted. The outdoors didn't not take anything away from me, but rather enhanced my beauty.
If you are looking to create more variety to your shoot, the outdoors add on might be exactly what you need. It will not only give you a new level of courage being in the open half naked, but it will also add personality to your shoot. Nature does wonderful things for our souls, and that will easily shine through in your pictures!
