I hope your 2015 is off to a great start! I started the year with loads of energy and lots of enthusiasm for what this year has in store. My creative juices are flowing over, and I can't wait to bring my new visions to life.
I'm starting the year with a couple of new Infinity Scarves that I created from fabric on which two of my abstract designs, Stained Glass 1 and Stained Glass 4, were printed. The design is the same but the colors vary, and both would go with so many outfit choices that they make a great addition to any wardrobe. For ordering information, please visit the SKCreations online boutique.
I wish you a wonderful and prosperous 2015!

Student Sponsorship is one of the most incredible gifts you could give to a disadvantaged youth. Your ongoing support of $50/month for a Secondary School Day Student or $80/month for a Boarding School Student will provide the means for full tuition and administration fees, board/accommodation (where applicable), class materials and school uniforms.
You can give these students Freedom from Poverty through Education today.
Funds received from Student Sponsorship go to the project as a whole, under which the child receives benefit directly from the project. Money is not given directly to an individual child or their family.
Sponsorships are processed in Australian dollars.

text: We passed through the garden in Potters Fields Park (near Tower Bridge in London) a few weeks ago and took these pictures. It's a bit of a gem of a place as the paths immediately beside the Thames were heaving with Saturday crowds and this lovely space was comparatively empty and peaceful. The planting is fantastic with waves of colour and texture. It was designed by Piet Oudolf, who has also worked on New York's High Line and my favourite Serpentine Pavilion to date.

Product InformationProduct code: Q513 Categories: Modern & Retro Jewellery, Retro Rings.
This ring has to be seen on the finger to get its full impact and is one of the most amazing sapphire and diamond rings around and is so typical of the jewellery being produced during the 1950's when this ring was made.
Made by the Australian jewellery firm Prouds, this ring was all hand made in 18ct yellow gold and platinum and is set with a combination of sapphires and diamonds in the most wonderful and captivating design.
Set with two magnificent cabochon cut sapphires, these sapphires really stand out in this ring and steal the show. Cabochon is where the gemstone has a smooth rounded top instead of being facetted and gives this ring such a special look and style.
With their elegant curved top, the sapphires total 4.05 carats in weight and look superb set against the white diamonds and platinum.
With 22 diamonds to add so much sparkle to this ring, it is also the combination of the diamonds on the outer side of the ring as well as the band that all go to make this a truly unique and special ring.
From one diamond at one end of the band to the other, the ring measures 17.8mm across by 17.9mm in the other direction.
When this ring is on your finger, you will instantly fall in love with it as it is so captivating and special and a wonderful reminder of the rings that were being created during the 1950's and just how wonderful and special they are.
A fabulous ring made all the more special thanks to the use of two large cabochon cut sapphires.

For interest's sake, I thought I'd share something that occurred in Barrhead a couple of weeks ago that I found quite unusual!
Sandy Cober came over to my desk with a big stack of very old and very unfamiliar green-covered print workbooks. First, the expression on her face was notable as she said, "kiddo, I hope you can figure out what to do about this, because I'm not sure…"
The stack of booklets Sandy gave me date back to Alberta Correspondence School times (ye olden days) and were completed by a lady named Margo (I've left out her full name, for privacy's sake). Upon further consult with Cam, the estimated age of these books is probably about 50-65 years old, though neither of us are 100% sure. Margo actually found the booklets at a used book store and took them home to do the work…about 20 years ago.
She started working on these in 1987, roughly, and finished them about 3 weeks ago, having worked on them sporadically since. Recently, she submitted them to us, upon completing all the lessons in the course (Adult English 2, a course we no longer even offer).
The work that she completed in the workbooks is meticulously done and quite complete. When speaking to Cam about this, showing him her work and the sheer amount and quality of it, it was decided that we as an organization should provide her a free course, materials included, if she was interested.
Now the fun part—tracking down said student! Google-mapping Margo's address revealed that she lived in a senior's home in central Alberta. When I called at first, I was given a bit of a go-around, but eventually my number fell into Margo's hands and she called me back. We had a great conversation about her work and the booklets, and it was very cool to give her the option of taking another course with us.
When I asked her about doing the work despite not being a registered student, she said she chose to do it because she simply wanted to better herself and her writing ability. The lessons gave her that opportunity and she found the work enjoyable. She mailed them in because she wasn't sure if we would mark them for her or not, but it was apparently worth a shot (lol).
She is quite excited about the prospect of taking another course with us, and is eagerly awaiting the chance to go over the course reg guide to make her choice. Margo is in her seventies to early eighties now, I think (this is my estimated guess—I thought it might be impolite to ask how old she really was), and definitely exemplifies a life-long learner!
I hope you all found this as interesting as I did and that you have a great afternoon! A big thank you goes out to Cam for advocating such a cool opportunity for a "new" student!

text: Last year, makeup artist Mike Potter started a one of a kind company called KO. The feel is completely unique- victorian meets art deco with a rock chic edge. They currently only carry nail polish, but if their upcoming projects are any reflection of their polish- get excited. All 6 colors (and one clear top coat) are matte! I bought the black as soon as I discovered the company and was not disappointed. I even expected to deal with that chalky feeling you got when you used to paint your nails with white out in middle school, (I know you tried that.) but to my surprise there was no such trade off. It goes on a little thick but dries very even, with far less chipping than I anticipated. For a slight variation you can buff your nails after two coats to achieve a satin finish. I intend to try out the new matte top coat as well as their new colors. Another reason I love this company- KO spares no detail. The bottles are beautiful and their adds feature Karen O (KO, get it?) of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Get some.

Tip 8:
The Grand Palace: Built in traditional Thai architecture mixed with European designs, The Grand Palace complex, once the official home for the Kings of Siam.

The Strad Issue: January 2012
Description: A powerful collection of Britten's concertante works for violin and viola
Musicians: Anthony Marwood (violin) Lawrence Power (viola) BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra/Ilan Volkov
Composer: Britten
You don't have to know that Britten's Violin Concerto was written as war broke out in 1939 to sense that a global tragedy overshadows the music. Anthony Marwood, in one of the most gripping accounts of recent times, makes this aspect his own, by careful pacing, agile bow-work and careful tonal manipulation. In the last case, he is not afraid to dig the bow in far enough to gouge the sound from the string if the emotion demands it – the humour earlier in the work has rarely sounded more sardonic and the final Passacaglia must be one of the most harrowing on disc.
The Double Concerto for violin and viola, a student work from 1932 premiered as recently as 1997, is generally much perkier, though it also ends in elegy. Marwood and Lawrence Power are ideally matched, as indeed they need to be when so much of the solo writing is in octaves, 3rds and 6ths, and they make a convincing case for the concerto becoming a more regular alternative to the Mozart Sinfonia concertante in concert programming. Power concludes this well-recorded disc – in which Ilan Volkov and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra provide bitingly visceral support throughout – with a supple and plangent account of Lachrymae.

Ina Kallis
The two self-published works by Kallis (born in 1979), Vieras (2003) and Kuningas Erkki (2003), hinted at the birth of a new world-class star. Her comic books were warm and heartstaggering, well-told little gems. Since these publications, however, Kallis has only created the occasional short comic, published for example in the Glömp anthology. Kallis won best strip contest at the 2005 Arctic Comics Festival.

The Abbey's Pugin Display...
Erdington Abbey recently had a Pugin display as part of the Pugin trail in Birmingham; and it was very successful indeed! As someone on the National Committee said,
"On behalf of the (national) Pugin Society committee, I would like to thank
you for agreeing to put on the exhibition - we have been encouraging sites
around UK with Pugin holdings to share (some of) what they have with the
public in this, his bicentenary year and, from the feedback we're getting,
the public seem very appreciative, and quite amazed by Pugin's history and
his contribution to all sorts of walks of life."
Thanks to the Rector, Fr Gabriel Maguire C.Ss.R., for drawing our attention to this.
Any questions or queries, go to the Erdington Abbey web site.
Have a look below to see some of the works...

Building furniture for my sister's and his home. If something is broke, he'll fix it. If he doesn't know how to fix it, he'll figure out how and then do it. Lucky for us...! We are on the receiving end of his newly acquired skills. For example, he gifted this hand-crafted cutting board to each of us. Isn't it stunning? Like a work of art for my counter-top. I'm pretty sure he'll be selling the fruits of his labor online soon. Stay tuned.
monogrammed letterpress notecards from Paper Source. They'd also make a great hostess gift or stocking stuffer (keep in mind for next year!).
this simple four-ingredient recipe. It's supes easy and turns out delicious.
The Pioneer Woman's recipe.
I also invested in the 12" Le Creuset iron fry pan that I used to cook the filets. It was originally $150 on sale for $100 at Williams-Sonoma, and I used the $20 gift card I earned when I bought my family's Christmas gifts, so in the end, I paid $80. Wham bam thank you ma'am. How Everygirl of me?!
So that's what I've been up to.
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday! Any great gifts or sale purchases you care to brag about?! Sorry I've been a bad blogger this week. Hope you forgive me!

That coat is such a good find!! I think that as a Chicago girl, you're justified in getting "extra" coats. Here in the DC area it doesn't even feel like winter yet... Sigh.ReplyDelete
Glad you had such a great Christmas!
Oh my gosh those cutting boards!! They are truly a piece of art. I hope he sells them soon. I would love to add one to my apartment and what an amazing gift one would be. Also love the monogram notecards! Another great gift. I get stressed with all the people shopping around the holidays so I found some sales right before Christmas. Got a great fur vest and hat at Anthro, but I love your new jacket-great find! Glad you had such a wonderful Christmas!ReplyDelete
Looks like an amazing Christmas! There are sooo many things you can do with that LC baking dish. Lasagna. Enchiladas. Mac and cheese. Any baked pasta, actually. Roast a small chicken. Bake chicken pieces. I'm hungry already!ReplyDelete
Your brother-in-law is incredibly talented, can't believe he made those!ReplyDelete
And totally agree, I always buy my winter coats in January, always!!! ;)
You can definitely make so many things with that baking dish. You can braise vegetables, make casseroles, baked pastas, baked chicken pieces (like leg quarters). Really, it's a very versatile dish. I have one from Emile Henry that looks very similar.ReplyDelete
lovely pooch!!ReplyDelete
I'm so happy to read that you gave yourself a chance to enjoy the Holidays the way it should be, next year you'll be busier than ever with your new project...I've also been a bad blogger, but not because i gave myself a chance but because my whole body became the battleground between antibodies and some awful germ or something, so I couldn't even see straight much less think...so no blogging has been done :(
You gave wonderful, useful gifts!! please keep us informed of your brother-in-law's beautiful wood projects, those cutting boards are exquisite, would love to have one and would use it to bring delicacies to the table, don't think I would dare put a knife to it IT'S LOVELY!!

Love the Santa socks! I got a new fancy lens for my new fancy camera that I am learning how to use. I did not go shopping but feel like I should have because I am feeling super jealous of your Anthro coat!ReplyDelete
Get outta mah head!ReplyDelete
Seriously, I am so obsessed with winter coats that I usually buy 1 or 2 every season and then give it away the next. My taste changes too often to keep anything longer than that.
I got a cutecutecute coat today that was only $29 that someone paid $175 for. Poor saps.
I also think that the day after Christmas sales are better than Black Friday's, especially Hobby Lobby's.
Happy Christmas, Alaina!
Please, please, PLEASE post a link as soon as your brother-in-law decides to sell those beautiful cutting boards. I have to have one... and gift them to everyone of the 8 weddings I am attending in 2012.ReplyDelete
Happy Holiday and great scores on the goods on sale :)

Here is a list of Non-fiction links that might help you find resources in support of the CCSS shift to read non-fiction materials. This list was recently archived by a few librarians from around the country.
A book such as this Notorious Benedict Arnold, would be a good substitution for a weak biography unit that does nothing more than give students an opportunity to copy and paste. This book (Lexile 990, AR 7.3), along with primary source documents and debates, could easily model a good CCSS aligned 7th grade lesson. Students could draw evidence from the text, conclude, debate, persuade and discuss how to treat Benedict and his crazy wife. This book is loooong for a 7th grader at 350+ pages. However, this helps us see how our lessons should move beyond entertaining and be repackaged as engaging educational efforts requiring students to think. This is easier said than done.
EQ: If you were George Washington, commanding your troops, what would you have done with Benedict Arnold and his wife?

5. Wendy's
There are a couple different categories of fries at Wendy's. But the Natural Cut is the superior Wendy's fry. The natural potato flavor shines through in a way that is sometimes lost in mass-produced fries. Plus, those sea salt flakes really do add a more distinct flavor profile to the fry. Best of all, they're simply perfect for dipping in Frosties.

Man arrested for alleged third DWI
A 42-year-old man was arrested Friday after allegedly driving his pickup with a shattered front windshield while drunk, according to court documents.
Isaac Fernandez of Midland was held on a $25,000 bond for a third-degree charge of a third offense of driving while intoxicated. He was released on Tuesday, according to the arrest affidavit.
Midland police were called out to West Carter Avenue on Friday in reference to a female waving at people and screaming for someone to call police. The dispatcher told the officers there was a pickup with its front windshield shattered.
When officers arrived, they saw a white pickup with a shattered front windshield leaving the scene. They pulled over the truck on the 1200 block of South L Street. The officer smelled a strong odor of alcohol on the driver, later identified as Fernandez, according to the affidavit.
When asked if he had been drinking, Fernandez replied that he had been drinking for a while and that the windshield was shattered because of a friend, but did not elaborate, according to the affidavit.
Fernandez failed a field sobriety test and was arrested on a driving while intoxicated charge, according to the affidavit. Dispatch advised the officers that Fernandez had previous DWIs — from July 2009, July 2010 and February 2013.
The officer asked Fernandez for a blood specimen, but he had passed out in the back of the vehicle and did not wake up even when the officer yelled at him, according to the affidavit.
If convicted of the third-degree felony, Fernandez faces up to 10 years in prison.

This driving to work on PCH thing is really cool. I get to check the surf everyday. Wish I could paddle out everyday as well, but we are pretty busy and I need to be in the office. That's fine with me, the ocean isn't going anywhere and I usually get out in the mornings on the weekends.
I figured I would try out this camera that has been sitting in the office for a few years….it takes pretty good pics. My phone does alright too, but it has a scratch in the lens or something cause there is a squiggly line in all of my pictures. I'm thinking I'll just keep it in the car and if/when I see anything cool I'll share it on here.
the following pics are of the Huntington Beach Pier and the oil islands off golden west

Yay! The first ever time my BN's have bred.
Would you believe it, in a skull ornament that I'd placed in my ocean rock.*
I noticed my male was 'missing'. Then I saw him through the eye of the skull. I noticed after 3 days he was still in there. Worried he'd become trapped I removed the skull and he swam out. That's when I found the eggs.
I don't think I'll keep them, they'll probably be eaten now I've disturbed the skull and the rocks, as well as the male. But it is good to know that they are happy in there.
*the skull ornament was my 1st ever ornament I got when I was but 5 years old and I proudly placed it in my unfiltered goldish bowl with 2 goldfish.

CTP plate Agfa Thermo Fuse
Most printing houses is faced with the problem of working with organic chemicals and their disposal. Meeting increasingly stringent standards and the care of the environment is an additional motive for crossing to the no chemical technology. Agfa offers a range of innovative solutions for working with no chemical plates grouped together under the patented name AGFA ThermoFuse.
By applying this technology with ease of operation, lower costs and reduced environmental impact can be achieved better stability and durability of the entire print production process.
The principle of thermo-technology AGFA Fuse
For standard, chemical CTP systems under the influence of light or temperature-sensitive laser illuminates the surface of the plate. The resulting image is not mechanically resistant and is necessary to develop a chemical process by which the board is prepared for printing. The final result (plate ready for printing) is dependent on a range of analog values such as: the state of chemistry and temperature, rate of passage of the plate through the developer, washing method, grommets and more.
No matter how the elements are controlled and kept within the standard values, final plates are reproducible only within certain tolerances.
AGFA ThermoFuse technology uses the power of lasers to melt extremely small thermoplastic elements that are found in the surface layer of the plate. During illumination thermoplastic particles absorb heat and melt, joined together and formed solid areas which are firmly glued to the aluminum substrate. Dark areas remain in the initial state, and subsequently washed from the plate. With this process in one step we are getting stable and mechanically resistant plates ready for printing. In other words, the plate is fully formed in the process of illumination, and the whole process is 100% binary and dependent only on the laser settings. The only thing left after the illumination is to wash or rinse unexposed particles in areas where there are no pictures.
At the plates: Azura TS rinsing is carried out using water-based solution that includes a means for the grommets, which also serves to protect the plate, while the plates: Amigo TS uses a mild "Clean Out" liquid.
The benefits of technology ThermoFuse
Plates: Azura technology ThermoFuse does not require chemical process, but it is necessary to rinse them after illumination so it is not possible to say that the process is fully processles. Despite this, process brings many advantages over conventional chemical CTP technology and also the processles technology that is applied from other manufacturers:
- 100% binary process (eliminated the influence of chemical variables in development)
- Aluminum plate surface is mechanically resistant and suitable for a large number of prints
- Ease of Use
- The visible image of the finished plates (measuring wedge plates and checks before placing the printing press)
- Speed of lighting is almost identical like to the chemical CTP plates
- A large number of prints (Amigo TS plates without firing can provide up to 200,000 impressions, and with the baking much more)
- Environmentally friendly technologies
- Lower cost (less water and energy consumption)
- Possibility of archival records and reprints (rinsing is carried out with the aid of liquid containing means for grommets)
ThermoFuse technology was developed with the aim of saving and reducing the negative impact on the environment. Aluminum plates use very thin surface layer which is washed in an aqueous solution. Thermoplastic components (latex) are chemically inert. The chemical for rinse the rubber coating is pH neutral (pH value is very similar to the value of tap water) and does not contain alkaline and corrosive agents, and undesirable solvent.
Using ThermoFuse technology significantly reduces water consumption, probably one of the most important and most threatened resources.
Tested and proven technology
Agfa ThermoFuse is a proven technology. Agfa first introduced procesless plates for printing in 2000th: Thermolite, which have been used successfully in more than 100 different models of direct printing machines and excellent are accepted in the market.
Plates: Azura presented at Drupa 2004 are intended for use in standard thermal CtP devices with a laser wavelength of 830 nm.
In the middle of 2010 the new, improved generation of plates are introduced ThermoFuse (Azura TS and: Amigo TS). These plates provide an even greater number of prints, and improved lighting speed.
Existing users of chemical thermal CTP solutions relatively easily and with little investment can go on the boards of technology AGFA ThermoFuse. CTP device is not necessary to change (it is necessary to check the list of supported devices for the desired CTP plate type), or the necessary changes apply only to the process of developing. To work with the plates: Azura TS is necessary to buy a unit for washing while working with the plates: Amigo TS is possible with installation of appropriate brushes to use existing developer for CTP or conventional plates.

Skincare and maintaining a good skincare routine –despite busy schedules and workloads–should always be one of your top priorities. Skincare is not only important for cosmetic reasons, but skincare can also improve your overall health, both mental and physical. When you skin looks good, you feel more confident, and this reflects in your day to day activities. Skincare may be time consuming, but if you start forming good habits now, skincare will seem like second nature. Trust me, there are some nights I come home from a night after too many cocktails and I wake up the next morning with a washed face and my products applied. Second nature;)
Implementing a good skincare regimen, like I have said before, will always lead to positive results.
With that being said, I wanted to share some of my favorite products/rituals that aid in my normal skincare regimen.
The Clarisonic, I use every night in the shower with my face wash. This will clean your face 6 times better than the normal wash cloth or lather method. It clears pores and reduces the size of your pores. It creates noticeably healthier looking skin and my mother tells me it helps your skin absorb your products better as well.
Obagi Professional C Serum is amazing! I use this every morning after my toner and before I moisturize. This provides maximum daily antioxidant protection from free radicals. Free radicals cause premature aging and fine lines and wrinkles. You will find that almost every skincare line carries a Vitamin C Serum. Some are orange colors, some are clear. My skin feels great after I put this on. Here is a great to way to apply it, so you use every drop.
Apply 7-8 drops on the top of your hand, then with your fingertips rub some around each eye (where fine lines form first,) then around your mouth, then forehead, then cheeks, and neck and chest. Any remaining on your hand, take and rub on the back of the other hand. Hands need some attention too!
The next product is Retin-A. I use this once a week and mix a pea size in with my Step 5 of Obagi. This is quite strong and you need to be careful how much you use, it may cause peeling and redness and make you sensitive to sun. This is a good aid in your skin care because it promotes skin cell turnover and stimulates cells that produce collagen, which gives firmness to your skin. Last it provides more blood flow to the skin and removes brown spots.
Last and least, So Bronze, for the face. This product does not exactly promote better skin, but it does give me a little extra glow and color to my pale skin. I think a nice natural tan looks good on everyone, but I will not be getting that glow the natural way in the damaging sun. My sun tan goddess days are over, no more baby oil tanning for me. I will have to suffice with spray tans and this lotion, but I do know it will be worth it and my skin always thanks me!
What are your favorite products, tips or tricks? Do share!

We aim to provide useful, pertinent and sometimes fun insights into the world of document collaboration and the workings of a technology company
Half of the PleaseTech marketing team.
Whilst Dave Cornwell, our CEO, has maintained an (almost) regular blog for several years, we're expanding and inviting others from within and outside PleaseTech to join him.
The intent is to provide different viewpoints, cover various areas of interest and tap into the different mindsets of the individuals who work here or who are otherwise involved in document collaboration. Having been with PleaseTech for almost three years (goodness, already three years) I have come to appreciate and enjoy the very 'special' and diverse personalities I come into contact with and so look forward to reading what they have to say.
To accommodate these plans, we have moved our blog from a generic provider so that it is now hosted directly by PleaseTech. There are several advantages to us including improved SEO, increased brand awareness, control of our content and freedom of design. Also, being a technology company, we have all the expertise on hand if anything breaks!
So, moving forward, you will see regular posts from PleaseTech, covering company updates, opinions, shared knowledge, industry news and more.
From a marketing perspective, our blog will deal with some of the challenges we face and what we are doing to overcome them. A recent survey of over 800 marketers conducted by the B2B Technology Marketing community on LinkedIn earlier this year confirmed what we face:
'The number one challenge for B2B marketers is generating high quality leads'
The full survey results are certainly worth a read and provide some pointers into what works better in terms of marketing activity. Our challenges specifically come down to:
Finding the right person to talk to – whilst for some industries this is clear, document collaboration is often managed by a diverse range of people across the organization.
Education – many use workarounds or solutions that enable basic collaboration, and, in doing so, put up with the inefficiencies and frustrations inherent with these practices/solutions. They know no better (or have not had the time to research an alternative) and so their expectations are low, especially if their IT department has told them that the existing solution is 'state-of-the-art'.
Convincing the IT dept. – Dave has covered this in previous blog posts and it continues to be a challenge. Business users are the ones who experience document collaboration issues, but frequently have to 'live' with the solutions provided by IT who often have the final say in how the dollars are spent.
Finding our 'voice' – whilst we know our business inside out, we continue to strive to know more about the different industry sectors and business disciplines we work with. It's all very well knowing why our product is better and different but we have to touch the right chords with those we speak with. How can we help? What's in it for them? What can they learn from us?
In future blog posts we will touch on some of the activities we have planned and that are currently underway to meet these challenges. We will share research, customer insights, best practices and independent expert contributions.
So, to gain an inside view into the workings of a technology company and all the cogs that make the wheel turn, as well as industry insights, personal deliberations and more, do sign up to catch the posts as they appear.

Things have been quiet in College Park the past couple of weeks regarding the search for fired football coach Randy Edsall's successor.
Athletic director Kevin Anderson, whose own legacy with the Terps will certainly be tied to this hire, has declined to discuss who he might be looking at since saying on the day of Edsall's firing that Maryland wanted a coach "to excite the fan base."
Many names have surfaced in a variety of media outlets, a few that seem to have validity and others that appear far-fetched.
The one likelihood is that interim coach Mike Locksley will only be retained if he and the next...

CALDWELL, Texas -- A 10-year-old girl died after a barrel racing accident at a Texas rodeo.
Piper Faust was getting ready to compete in barrel racing Saturday at the Caldwell Rodeo when her horse was spooked and fell backward on top of her, according to KBTX-TV in Bryan, Texas.
Piper's mother, Rhonda Faust, said that she did everything with all of her heart, competing in rodeo, dance and softball.
"She had an all-around spirit that was just infectious, with a beautiful smile. ... Her smile just made you smile," Rhonda said.
Rhonda and her husband, Brian Faust, told KBTX that for the last six months, Piper focused on competing in the rodeo. It's what she loved the most.
"I think her heart stopped in the arena. She left her soul where she loved it," Brian said.
Loved ones have created a GoFundMe page for Piper. As of Monday morning, more than $18,000 had been donated.

The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II was originally designed by McDonnell Aircraft as a fleet defense fighter for the U.S. Navy. It is a two-seat, twin engine supersonic long-range fighter-bomber that first entered service in 1960. By 1963, the U.S. Air Force had adopted it as its primary fighter-bomber. The F-4 had a top speed of Mach 2.23, with an initial climb rate of 41,000 ft/min. The F-4 set 15 world speed records in its early years, five of which were not broken until 1975, by the F-15 Eagle. Nearly 5,200 aircraft were built. It was used extensively in Vietnam by the Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force. The F-4 remained in service through 1996 in its fighter bomber role, and reconnaissance and Wild Weasel versions (anti-air defense) variants operated during the first Gulf War. The F-4 is the only aircraft that was flown by both the Navy Blue Angels and Air Force Thunderbirds Flight Demonstration Teams. Eleven other nations operated this powerful, adaptable, aircraft.
There are 6 primary variants of the F-4 that were flown by a wide variety of Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force squadron types in the 40+ year life of this versatile aircraft. Use the drop down lists below to select the aircraft you flew or maintained, and add as much information on your individual bird as possible to make your drawing really unique. When ordering, you can request that we add up to 3 lines of personalization to your drawing. This typically includes your name and rank, years with the squadron, then either your call sign or job function. The choice is yours, use one line or all three!
Our artists have the capability of drawing virtually all models of the F-4, and customizing the drawing for most squadrons. If yours is not in the list, drop us an email message with your request at email@example.com, or give us a call on our toll-free number (888-465-5389) to discuss your aircraft of interest. There is no additional charge for producing a new drawing.
George Bieda has drawn many F-4 variants and squadrons. His drawings contain not only the profile of the aircraft, unit insignia, and squadron plaque, but also interesting and important statistics regarding the aircraft. Shown here are several examples of Mr. Bieda's drawings -
Mads Bangso has taken a sabbatical from profile drawings as of 1 JUN 2012. We are continuing to display has previous work below because of our visitors' interest in his detailed renderings.

Candidates for Liposuction
Liposuction removes undesirable, subcutaneous fat in isolated areas that do not respond to diet and exercise. These areas include the hips, thighs, abdomen, knees, neck and arms. Liposuction is most successful in people with good skin tone who are near normal weight but have localized fatty deposits. It is not a treatment for obesity and only intended to produce a more flattering figure by improving contours and proportions.
Performed at our private AAAHC accredited surgical center, under general anesthesia, the procedure involves small incisions through which a cannula, or hollow tube, is inserted to break-up and remove the fat beneath the skin. Several areas can be suctioned at one operative setting, although there is a limit to the amount that can be removed safely at one time.
Improve body shape by removing exercise-resistant fat deposits performed using the tumescent technique, in which targeted fat cells are infused with a saline solution local anesthetic before liposuction to reduce post-operative bruising and swelling. Common locations for liposuction include chin, neck, upper arms, abdomen, hips, thighs, and knees. The procedure will last 1-2 hours, or more.
Results & Recovery
Post-operatively, patients will be bruised and swollen, and this will likely last several weeks. A compression garment is worn for several weeks to minimize fluid accumulation and facilitate skin settling. Typically you can plan to go back to work after 1 week, but must refrain from strenuous activity for 2-4 weeks. You will be able to visualize your final results in 1 to 6 months, or more.
To learn more about Liposuction please schedule your consultation by either filling out the form on this page, or by calling Pittman Plastic Surgery located in Athens, GA, at (706) 549-3203. Michele, our Patient Care Coordinator will answer any questions you have about the treatment including pricing and financing options. We look forward to working with you!
*The results of any procedure vary from patient to patient depending on multiple factors. There is no guarantee of satisfaction with end results. All recovery times are estimates and not guaranteed.

Young adults have been hit especially hard by the economic downturn. College tuition has more than doubled in the past twenty years and continues to soar even higher despite the fact that jobs are harder to come by and starting salaries have decreased. Increasing numbers of students are struggling to get by and many will have racked up tens of thousands of dollars worth of debt by the time they complete their degrees. In addition, large numbers of these students will be forced to move back home with their parents at some point after graduation out of economic necessity.
In a recent article published in the Huffington Post, the author mentioned the numerous websites that have sprung up in recent years promising to help young women struggling with the enormous financial burden of college to find wealthy benefactors, commonly referred to as "sugar daddies," to help with the expenses of dorm, tuition and books or pay off student loans.
A young woman interviewed for the article described her experience of hooking up with a man she met through one of these websites saying she had to brace herself to endure the afternoon of having sex. Taylor said she just wanted to get the act over as soon as possible. The man she hooked up with gave her three hundred and fifty dollars at the time he dropped her off at the train station. Her initial thought was, "Not bad for an afternoon of work," but she agonized over the fact that she just had sex for money and said she felt dirty afterwards. It's very important for us to pay attention to these kinds of feelings because they are signals letting us know we are doing something harmful to ourselves.
I feel a great deal of concern when I hear about young women like Taylor. Most do not realize the consequences of their actions and are just doing the best they can to survive. It is so easy to stray off on some kind of destructive path and even more so during the stage of our lives where we are making our way out into the world. Sadly, many never find their way back.
I've come across many individuals over the years in their late teens and early twenties who were struggling to find their way. In many instances they were not able to afford my services. I would go ahead and work with them anyway, because I felt a sense of responsibility to do whatever I could to reconnect them to their soul or the spirit that resides within and help them develop the resources they needed to get them on track with their own life's purpose.
I met a young woman years ago while living in Albuquerque, New Mexico who was involved in some form of religious cult. Leyla didn't seem to possess the resources to make it on her own after she fell out of the cult and ended up auditioning to work as a stripper in one of the clubs. I was saddened to learn about Leyla's decision to work in a strip club and ended up spending a few hours talking with her over the phone about the consequences of her actions.
"The presence in those strip clubs feels absolutely horrible. Dancing nude in front of a bar full of men with all kinds of serious issues makes you vulnerable by opening you up to a great deal of emotional, energetic and psychic toxicity. Many of these same men are going to be fantasizing about you later that night when they go home and jerk off."
"Working as a stripper is only a step above prostitution. You're having to make physical contact with a lot of men that you would never in your life want to interact with. An exchange of energy takes place any time you're making physical contact with the men you entertain in the clubs. The men whose laps you gyrate on as you do lap dances are going to become sexually aroused and to some degree you will too. That's going to make you even more likely to absorb the negative energies and emotions held within their bodies. Are you sure you want to be subsisting on a steady diet of that?"
I left Albuquerque soon after that conversation. I received a call from Leyla a few months later. Leyla told me I helped her to see the consequences of her actions and she realized after dancing a few nights in the club that the price wasn't worth paying.
Exposing our bodies in an environment like a strip club or having sex with someone with whom we have no desire to be with is a very unpleasant experience that evokes all kinds of uncomfortable feelings. Our normal response is to shut down parts of our consciousness by pushing the uncomfortable feelings outside of our conscious awareness. That causes us to become very numb or desensitized. Blocking feelings and experiences out of our awareness doesn't mean they will go away. Our bodies continue to hold onto the horrible feelings, emotions and energies we internalize from working in such a toxic environment.
Women who engage in prostitution and other forms of sex workers have to shut down parts of themselves in order to do their job and that accounts for their tendency to become very armored. I can always see and feel the parts of the self that have shut down and disconnected. I can also feel the toxic energies and emotions from all the people they've had sex with that they are holding within their bodies.
The act of engaging in sex with a complete stranger that we have no desire to be with is an intimate bodily invasion. These feelings are greatly magnified when we find the other person unattractive or disgusting. Many dissociate by switching off or separating from the experience taking place within their bodies and that further exacerbates the harm done. The parts of ourselves that we disconnect from are left holding the trauma and that can prevent us from being fully present or developing the resources we need to be fully functional.
Large numbers of women involved in prostitution exhibit signs and symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder that are similar to people who have experienced rape or incest. They commonly suffer from anxiety, depression, insomnia and irritability. Many also report feelings of being emotionally numb, are tortured by recurrent nightmares and flashbacks and live in a state of emotional and physical hypervigilance. They frequently suffer from physical conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome and are also highly prone to eating disorders.
Women involved in the sex trades often cope by self-medicating with tobacco, alcohol and other substances to numb themselves to the energies and emotions associated with what they're doing. The use of substances deadens their consciousness so they don't have to feel what's happening, but that leaves them even further desensitized and disconnected from their authentic core self.
I've known and have worked with a number of prostitutes and strippers over the years. I'm always curious to understand more about them, the choices they've made along the way and the struggles they have gone through. A few of the women I have worked with told me that they find their work enjoyable at times and that they even look forward to seeing some of the men who come to them on a regular basis.
Some men and women become highly sexualized as a result of sexual trauma that occurred during the early stages in their lives. In many instances they've learned to get attention or validation through their sexuality. A large percentage of women involved in stripping and prostitution were sexually abused as children. Working in the sex trade is a continuation of their early life experience of being sexually exploited.
A friend of mine went into prostitution after her husband left her with three young children because she didn't see any other way that she could support herself. Most of the women I've encountered who are involved in the sex trade are not doing what they do by choice. Many have not been able to complete their education or develop the skill sets and other resources that would enable them to succeed in our society. They're often doing the best they can to survive.
Most people tend to become very heavy and stagnant as they age. Older men who solicit prostitutes or seek money for sex arrangements with young college girls struggling to get by are usually not in good health. Many drink, smoke and consume unhealthy foods. Most are holding a great deal of anger, resentment, grief, loss and other toxic emotional baggage pertaining to loveless marriages, bitter divorces, custody battles and other dramas that have played out in their lives within their bodies. Women who prostitute themselves to these men are opening themselves up to this toxicity. They take on or absorb the energies and emotions of any person with whom they become physically intimate. They also take on some of their karma, sickness and the toxic dramas in their lives. Much of this toxicity remains trapped within the body indefinitely.
Dangerous Game
Stripping or prostituting one's self may appear for some to be a quick and easy way to make money, but it is also a very dangerous game to be playing. Making large amounts of money so quickly can be very tempting, but we need to ask ourselves, "Exactly how much is my soul really worth?"
I have known women who had the ability to go into sex work for a period of time, do what they felt they needed to do and then get out. Many have gone into prostitution with the intention of saving the money they needed to create a better life, but were never able to hold onto what they made. The danger for many is they grow so accustomed to the kind of lifestyle afforded by prostitution and often find themselves sinking ever deeper into a hole they cannot escape from.
Women who prostitute themselves are forced to rely upon their physical beauty to make it in the world, but it's only a matter of time before age and gravity take their toll and the looks fall apart. The process of shutting down or disconnecting that takes place among women involved in the sex trade has a crippling effect. Those who fail to develop skills and resources to stand on their own operate at a deficit which leaves them little, if anything, to fall back on.
I stopped over in Thailand on numerous occasions while waiting for my connecting flights to India and Sri Lanka. I realized very quickly that Thailand was one of the world's primary sex tourism destinations. Large numbers of Thai and other Southeast Asian women are involved in prostitution to varying degrees. Women and girls who have been sold into sexual slavery are often forced to work in houses of prostitution. It is also fairly common for young attractive Thai women to hang out in bars looking for wealthy, by their standards, foreigner boyfriends who travel to Thailand on vacation. As soon as one boyfriend leaves they go out to the bars and find a new guy. These women often call or write letters to their "boyfriends" after they return home to ask for more money.
Women in developing nations such as India, Pakistan and the various African republics are often forced into prostitution after being widowed or abandoned by a husband because of their inability to conceive. Thousands of young women and girls in Nepal have been drugged, kidnapped and sold into prostitution across the border in India. Many are eventually murdered and a large percentage of these girls and young women contract HIV and eventually die. In many instances their families never see or hear from them again. India's law enforcement and government is largely complicit by failing to shut down the houses of prostitution and prosecute the perpetrators of these horrific crimes.
Men who have struggled financially at some point in their lives know what it's like to be passed over by women who evaluate a man's worth based upon his financial status. There will always be women who look for men who can buy expensive dinners, clothing and jewelry, take them on the vacation of their dreams and pay off their debt. Such women never learn to stand firmly on their own two feet. Another young woman interviewed in the Huffington Post article said, "I'm choosing one or two men I actually like spending time with and have decided to develop a friendship with them. While sex is involved, the focus of our interaction is on providing friendship. It's not only about getting paid."
It is so easy to come up with all kinds of rationalizations to justify our actions. But we need to be fully honest by asking ourselves, "Is this someone with whom I truly desire to be intimate?"
There is so much shame and stigma attached to prostitution. Women who become engage in prostitution are often forced to lead double lives. Most cannot tell their friends or families what they are doing and that leaves them with a feeling that they always have something to hide. Having to hide parts of one's self makes it very difficult to be fully present.
Opening ourselves sexually to another individual is an experience that reaches very deep into our psyche. Sexuality is a very important part of our process of personal and spiritual growth. Selling our bodies to someone we don't want to be intimate with corrupts or contaminates the very deep and personal parts of ourselves through which we develop intimate bonds.
It can be very difficult for a woman to break out of prostitution and go to a regular job that only pays a fraction of the huge sums of money she is used to making as a sex worker. Many never develop the resources they need to make it in the world. That accounts for the fact that so many of them end up on welfare or disability and find themselves living in public housing or out in the streets.
Women who engage in prostitution are placing themselves at great risk. In many instances they are forced to engage in unprotected sex. Many have experienced unwanted pregnancies and miscarriages. They are far more likely to contract sexually transmitted diseases such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, herpes, syphilis, the human papilloma virus and HIV/AIDS. They often test positive on pap smears and have a much higher incidence of pelvic inflammatory disease. Greater exposure to sexually transmitted diseases also increases their likelihood of developing cervical cancer.
Women involved in prostitution experience extremely high levels of violence and often find themselves in grave danger. Many report being robbed, beaten or sexually assaulted and some have also been killed.
Some of the wealthy "sugar daddies" seeking money for sex arrangements with young women saddled with enormous amounts of debt like to see themselves as providing a service that will ultimately help them to create a better life for themselves. In reality, these men are inflicting tremendous harm by exploiting the vulnerabilities of young women who are struggling to survive.
Young women are more likely to fall into stripping or prostitution during times of economic hardship when they see no other means of covering their expenses. These young women would be much less likely to find themselves in a position where they feel that they have to sell their bodies in order to pay off their education debt if our government would stop feeding vast amounts of money into senseless wars that can never be won and corporate subsidies and the wealthy were made to pay their fair share of the taxes.
Having compassion for ourselves and others
I feel a great deal of concern for and compassion for people and the struggles they go through in order to survive. It's important to keep in mind that we have all done things in our lives that we are not especially proud of. We all prostitute ourselves or compromise our integrity in one way or another at various points in our life. It's important for us to come to come from a place of acceptance and compassion for ourselves. We also need to demonstrate understanding and compassion for others by reaching out to help others along the way whenever we can make a difference.

Other than subscribing to philosophy journals, what kind of funding do philosophy departments need for their research and teaching? I would think that philosophy requires the least amount of funding in all of academia!
My daughter told me a relevant joke: A university's Dean of Research became frustrated during budget negotiations with the science faculty. "Why do you physicists always need such expensive labs? Why can't you be more like the mathematicians? All they need is paper and a waste basket."
After a moment he added: "Or like the philosophers? All they need is the paper."
Yes, philosophy is cheap in terms of material resources. It is worth adding that the journals and books tend to be cheaper also, compared to other subjects.
However, teaching philosophy is often an intensive, small-group experience -- so that costs. More importantly, like any other subject, the researching philosopher needs TIME. And time is comparatively expensive, with respect to material resources.

Marshfork ElementaryDemanding a New, Safe School
March 16, 2007
Additional text below the photos. (I don't know about you, but if someone picked me up like that it would dislocate my shoulders or tear muscles, not to mention being extremely painful in several ways).
Marsh Fork Elementary School has become a touchstone in the fight against mountaintop removal. The Raleigh County school sits 400 yards directly below a sludge impoundment permitted to hold 2.8 billion gallons of toxic coal sludge. The dam is slowly leaking. (Massey Energy says its just controlled drainage.) Directly above the impoundment, Massey has a permit for an 1849-acre mountaintop removal mine, where repeated blasting shakes the ground. Residents worry about the effects of the blasting on the impoundment and dam. Weve heard workers testify that some safety measures were not followed when they built the earthen dam.
A 185-foot coal silo is directly adjacent to the school, spewing toxic coal dust and chemicals from the adjoining coal preparation plant. Last year Massey decided to build a second coal silo less than 300 feet away from the school. Citizens fought that plan and the Division of Environmental Protection denied the permit, even though Massey had already started to build the second silo. But, as Bo Webb of Coal River Mountain Watch said about Marsh Fork school, even when we win, we lose.
In early March, the WV Surface Mine Board overturned the DEPs permit denial, giving their approval to Masseys second coal silo. The school was there before any of the coal operations were. For three years, residents and friends have been fighting for a new school in their own community. The Board approval of the second coal silo was the last straw for citizens who have followed EVERY available means to be heard by their government. Meetings with the governor proved futile. Over and over again, folks say that weve listened too long to false promises and outright lies.
In sheer desperation, about a hundred people occupied Governor Manchins reception area and inner office hallway.
At the Capitol, OVEC board member Winnie Fox said, Theyve ruined lives and were not going to take it anymore.
Non-violent civil disobedience is never a step
that is taken lightly. But we've tried so many possible avenues of
redress without success. Peoples very lives are at stake. This is our
latest effort to be heard. Anyone present at the protest couldnt help
but come away with a sense of awed horror at the extent to which Coals
minions in the State Capitol are willing to go to protect Coals
profits. The pictures here and the three YouTube videos (see links in
left column) tell the story best. Shame! Shame! Shame!

Card sharks in the Big Apple have reason to be happy this morning.
\r\n\r\n
The New York Senate voted yesterday in favor of legalizing online poker in the state, by an overwhelming margin of 54 to 8.
\r\n\r\n
The bill, which is sponsored by Senator John Bonacic out of the 42nd District, must now make its way through the assembly. New Jersey and California poker players already enjoy legal online poker from the comfort of their own home.
\r\n\r\n
Sportsbook Review will monitor the status of the poker update in New York and keep readers posted. Meanwhile, New Jersey continues to hope that the US Supreme Court will decide to hear their case for sports betting in Atlantic City, which would require a repeal of the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection of 1992.
\r\n
