|Of course I had to make myself a new waxcloth folder
to hold my collection of zen-t inspired doodles...
I first encountered the term while flipping through our local continuing education class calendar. It showed an example of the art and I was intrigued.
After looking it up online, I was surprised to discover that it must be taught by certified teachers and follows an actual methodology.
Erk! Rules¹? Certification??
Art with rules is not my particular thing (and was part of what drove me out of art school years ago) but that doesn't mean I can't borrow what I like from it.
Abstract, black and white patterns have always appealed to me (evidenced by the fabric used on this early test bag) so that aspect of this art form was immediately captivating. The part about using a little square piece of paper, drawing a border, then adding some sort of squiggle... what? My initial assessment was, it's no wonder artists have turned to something called "zentangle inspired art" to break out of those elemental boundaries.
Me, I immediately wanted to see the idea transformed into some fabric.
¹Some background. First, the term zentangle is a registered trademark and its very use seems to come with a whole bunch of legal stipulations, so from here on, I will just use the diminutive — and non registered — zen-t when describing my efforts, so as not to step on any official toes. The basic rules of zen-t aren't onerous or stifling and I understand the reasoning behind them. By just skimming the surface of the subject, however, it's soon very apparent that there's a huge money making machine behind this, involving many people (my guess is that 99.9% are women) becoming CZTs and sharing testimonials about it being so life-changing that their stories could induce you to drink kool-aid. I get extremely uncomfortable when something is presented to me as a multi-purpose cure-all for life's difficulties. On the other hand, I've always said that in dire personal circumstances, "rely on whatever works for you". Still, the reverence shown for a method of focused doodling that is neither new nor original — although admittedly fascinating and potentially relaxing for the artist — is unsettling.
My first attempt at zen-t inspired art is this:
|I really must stop drawing on any old paper that comes my way...!
It was truly my own first take on the process; I had not done any explorations of "official" patterns and such, so it's mostly lines, dots and swirls.
Unfortunately, I have a bad habit of taking whatever paper is before me and drawing on it, not expecting that it will be something that I want to keep. Case in point: there is a framed drawing — from my university years — hanging on a wall in my sewing room that was done on the back of an exam booklet.
It was tax season and I was in the middle of setting up an account for direct deposits with Revenue Canada when I realized I could do it online and therefore didn't need the paper form. Hence, later that afternoon, I began to doodle on said form.
And you know, before I could tell myself, hey this is actually going pretty good, maybe I should stop and continue on a real sheet of paper, I had essentially filled up the entire page.
What do you know? Maybe the process really is "zen inducing"!
However, now I was left with the problem of getting the design into my computer without all of the text behind it. For some reason, my scanner enabled me to set the brightness and contrast to the point where the text virtually disappeared...
|This seemed somewhat decent but I couldn't get it to scan that way...
... but then it didn't scan that way. (It was always the same no matter what adjustments I made.) It was quite maddening. According to the Help file, those adjustments should have made their way to the scanned output.
Without an easy alternative, I used the Snipping Tool to grab a screen shot of the cleaned up image. The problem with that solution, however, is that the image is extremely small.
But I wanted to try it out, since the vast majority of my past fabric designs have all involved fairly large scale patterns.
and continue for only $4.95 a month!
Using the technique that I previously described for my paisley fabric project, I proceeded to create a seamless tile with this pattern. After splitting it apart, I filled in the middle with some copied components from the original design and then added some vertical lines in the background.
|The three layers of my final design... hey, that looks like a nifty flag, doesn't it??
When the layers are combined, the whole thing turns into an image which — when uploaded to Spoonflower — results in this 8" x 8" swatch...
|My first small scale print fabric... Untangle my Zen (Micro)
What do you think? I like how the final pattern seems to have depth and dimension to it, which wasn't planned. (And "not planning" is one of the main tenets of zen-t.)
After doing this, I went back to the original scanned image with the text. Selecting just the black elements allowed me to copy off most of the design, so eventually, I was able to create a larger scale pattern with this image. (Believe me, it took a long time to clean up, but maybe I've finally learned not to draw on any old scrap of paper any more...!)
Here it is in fat quarter size...
|A significantly larger pattern... this one is called Untangle my Zen (Multiples)
I love how the process of surface design has been one of continuous learning for me. Having mastered how to create a seamless repeating pattern, it didn't occur to me until after a few experimentations that — for best results — I should break away from the "one big element in the middle of the page" scenario.
For example, in the Micro version, it's fairly easy to identify the approximate boundaries of the repeating pattern (even though it can't be "boxed"). In the Multiples version, it's a bit more difficult to discern where the repeat is, don't you think? That's because I did this...
|Multiples design deconstructed...
The base design was laid out three times: in the original orientation, after being mirrored and after a 90 degree rotation.
Then I copied various elements, rotated them and placed them in and around the resulting white space. That final pattern is what I then took and "quartered" to begin the process of a seamless repeat. (Then I did the same as for the Micro version; i.e., added elements into the middle space and put vertical lines in the background.)
Even if you've never heard of the term, you've probably seen examples of zen-t inspired art. Pieces featuring an outline of an animal or an object filled with intricate designs are quite common.
Like this one of a messenger bag!
|What better zen than conjuring a purse...?
Or this handbag!
|Conjuring two purses??
(And to answer your question, no, I didn't progress straight from my first attempt to these...LOL. This stuff happened after completing about a dozen or so smaller drawings.)
The last image resulted in this (colourized) Spoonflower swatch:
|My Not Enough Purses fabric design...
Overall, this first foray into the world of zen-t can be deemed a success, for more than just the resulting fabric designs.
|My first "real one", set within the confines
of a 3.5" x 3.5" square and started with a "string"...
What does appeal to me, are the results of my zen-t doodling.
|Adding colour to my zen-t doodles...

- TRAVELLING::: Locomotion, is about how we move through space and Where. HOW (walking, running, sliding, skipping, crawling...) WHERE is the path we choose to take action within the space... Geometric configuration (circles, spirals, straight lines, angles, corners...)
- ELEVATION::: Rising OFF the floor// I. HOP (from 1foot to same foot) II. LEAP (from 1 foot to the other foot) III. JUMP (from 2 feet to 2 feet) IV. SISSONE (from 2 feet to 1 foot) V. ASSEMBLE (from 1 foot to 2 feet) VI. EN POINTE (rising, relevé)
- TURNING::: Changing directions, used for aesthetic purposes. I.e. Hypnotic dervishes. Could be fun, frightening, magical, mystical. Laban considers 3 planes: I. VERTICAL (around a sagittal axis i.e. cartwheel) II. HORIZONTAL (around a vertical axis i.e. piruettes, spins, rolls) III. SAGITTAL (around a horizontal axis i.e. somersaults - the water goes inwards)
- FALLING::: It can represent loss, madness, recover found strength... There are 2 types: I. OFF BALANCE (centre of gravity shifts Off centre) II. COLLAPSE (falling to the floor with no rebound, loosing totally the centre of gravity)
- STILLNESS::: It's an action because it's an active choice that contrasts the movement action. It can represent hesitation, a caught of breath or a moment arrived at. Like quiet before the storm, relief, suspense, or even can have a comic effect...
- GESTURE::: Used for communicate with others a non-verbal idea. Isolation... it's NOT MANEURISM (unaware gestures not used for communicate to others). I.E. facial expressions, hand gestures, etc..

MOTIF and Development
A Motif is one single, simple, short movement or chain of movements that are smaller than a phrase.
Ways to develop the Motif:
- Repetition
- Retrogade (I.E. Backwards)
- Embellishment/Ornamentation
- Inversion (I.E. upside down or lateral)
- Size (I.E. condense/expand)
- Tempo (fast/slow/stop with the movement in its original size)
- Rhythm (beats altered, not the speed)
- Quality/Dynamics
- Instrumentation (perform movement with several body parts)
- Force (strength/weakness)
- Background (let the rest of the body do something else)
- Staging (different place/facing...)
- Levels + Planes (horizontal, vertical, floor, knees...)
- Additive/Incorporative (simultaneously execute jump, turn, run, slide...)
- Fragmentation (execute one part of the motif, or change the order...)
- Combination (any of the above)

In Defense of Black Money
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and RBI Governor Urjit Patel during the customary post-budget meeting in New Delhi, Feb. 11. (Atul Yadav/PTI)
India's annual budget for 2017-18 takes forward the government's crusade against black money, a process that was sought to be elevated to a new level by the demonetization exercise in November, though there is increasing evidence now that it was a needless measure that caused distress to too many. Finance Minister Arun Jaitley's fourth Budget has underlined the resolve of the government to continue the crack down on the evil tax evaders amongst us, writes Siddharth Srivastava. – @Siliconeer #Siliconeer #India #2017IndianBudget #ArunJaitley #NarendraModi #NaMo @NarendraModi @NaMo
Many have peacefully co-existed for years in the form of traders and shopkeepers, but perhaps not contributed to the exchequer as much as they should by tinkering with their books and running their businesses mostly in cash. Jaitley has announced that high value cash transactions are going to be penalized while there has been an attempt to broaden the tax base. Jaitley as well as Prime Minister Narendra Modi have exhorted in various forums that those evading taxes will not be spared, cocksure that this is the kind of high-moral ground that obviously cannot be countered.
While the digital cashless direction that Modi & Jaitley want the Indian economy to progress towards may indeed be unquestionable, the government seems to be getting carried away by its sanctimonious and self-righteous position, in a clever attempt to buttress the politically expedient image as the do-gooder and protector of poor. In Jaitley's budget, humongous amounts continue to be pumped into leaky and suspect rural employment programs such as MNREGA. There is a direct tax benefit for masses of salaried chaprasis that populate the lowest echelons of the government hierarchy and are notorious as the most lethargic in executing their duties.
The small and medium enterprises, that survive on thin margins, have perhaps been rightly awarded with some tax relief. High agriculture income earners continue to be a category no FM will ever dare to touch.
At the same time Jaitley has sought to deepen the government's self-created Robin Hood portrait of crusading against the rich, whether salaried or corporate majors, who will need to pay taxes between 30 to 35%, apart from the innumerable cess's that have been added on over the years. Rahul Gandhi's attacks on the government are mostly dismissed as inane and silly. However, name-calling the Modi government as "suit boot ki sarkar" seems to have pinched somewhere. In the guise of "equity" Jaitley has slapped an unreasonable 10% surcharge on those earning salaries between Rs 50 lakhs to Rs 1 crore. The extra money does not add much to the government kitty, but does severely penalize a small section of hard working corporate executives.
The salaried, as has been emphasized, are the most tax-burdened as they have the least flexibility to play around with the money they earn, unlike, say, self-employed professionals such as doctors or lawyers. While it is noble that Jaitley wants our society to be equitable, the fact remains that in this country progress has for long been defined as the ability to escape the tyranny of abysmal government agencies and services. It is an aspiration that is shared by both the poor and rich.
This plays out within households in various ways as incomes increase, including the movement from government to private hospitals or schools, purchasing bikes and cars instead of using unreliable public transport, hiring touts to get the job done, whether it is to procure a driving license or registering a property or paying an expensive CA to handle the overzealous tax department. As the government fails to deliver in more and more areas, those that earn more pay even more for some of the basic amenities that are taken for granted in most civilized countries.
The expenses include back up generators and inverters for power, expensive higher education for kids overseas and even holidays in Europe, America, South East Asia to escape the mess our cities have become. A few decades back, left with no choice, thousands headed overseas to improve their lot in what was termed as brain drain.
Modi & Jaitley's zeal to cleanse the country of tax evaders maybe well meaning, but has conveniently overlooked that any government needs to deliver and be accountable as well. While there will always be the black sheep, holistic tax compliance cannot succeed unless it fulfills a selfish expectation that my hard earned money is being well utilized for personal and then larger benefit. Taxes, after all, involve a quid pro quo.
Indeed, good governance necessarily involves honest attempts to create an ecosystem where the poor and rich can be equal stakeholders in overlapping arenas of public goods, whether it is parks, hospitals or schools. This obviously is the tougher and difficult route to take. As things stand, unfortunately, the government delivery mechanisms do not inspire much, apart from the services of our dedicated armed forces that protect our borders and selflessly conduct rescue and rehabilitation operations when needed.
And, this has nothing to do with Modi & Jaitley.

A Dummy's Guide to Handling A Paycheck
Making and following a budget is essential to financial security and success. Therefore, it is important to know how to manage your finances and, in turn, you will receive the most benefits afforded to you. Anyone can make a simple financial plan, but the simple version may not always have your best short and long term interests in mind.
The days of having to wait on a paycheck have come and gone. Technology has given us direct deposit and quite a number of companies like PayWeb offer online pay stub options so that you may review your check immediately. Due to immediately accessible funds, a strong budgeting plan should be in place. The worse thing would be for the necessities to be left unpaid. Therefore, once you receive your paycheck and have reviewed all of your deductions to ensure that they are correct, allocate money to each portion of your budget. Use the following guidelines to make sure that the right things are paid first.
1. Give to Yourself – While this may seem contrary to paying bills, it is very important to set aside a portion of your paycheck each pay period to your savings and retirement accounts. If you do not make this your number one priority, you will never have the right amount of savings to have a secure future or have an emergency fund. Securing at least ten percent of your bring-home income for a savings and retirement fund is a good start.
2. Pay Your Housing Expenses – Your mortgage or rent should be next on your priority list. You need to have a place to live, so you must make sure that this expense is covered.
3. Pay Your Utility Bills – Of course, you cannot live in the dark, without heat or water so make sure that you cover your utility costs right after you have budgeted for your housing expenses.
4. Pay Car and Insurance Payments – If you own a car, make sure that payments are made on your loan and for your car insurance.
5. Student Loans – If you are still burdened with student loans, make sure that you pay this before other bills. Student loan debt quickly accumulates interest and if you go into default, the lenders can take aggressive action against you.
6. Food and Living Expenses – Make sure you allocate enough for your food, drinks and other minor expenses such as gas for the car.
7. Credit Card Payments – This should be the last line on your budget and, hopefully, your smallest debt. Credit card debt can quickly escalate, and should be used with caution.
8. Entertainment – Yes, you need to budget some money for entertainment. You cannot work all the time without having some form of relaxation. It may not be a large part of your allowance, but setting aside some money for dinner and a movie helps make paying all the other bills seem a little easier.
9. Leftovers – If you still have some funds left over after you have taken care of these obligations – good for you. Now you can set this money aside for things that you want. You may need to save for a little while for larger items, but the money will be there for you when you are ready.
It takes a little practice to create the right budget for yourself, and it takes a little time to get into the routine of following one. You have to be intentional when it pertains to your financial success. Take the time and become familiar with your pay statement so that you will know up front what to expect. The benefits are enormous and the financial security is well worth the effort.
Budget-wise Nickey Williams loves getting paid accurately and on time, and follows a strict financial plan. PayWeb is a payroll company that offers on time electronic pay stubs which are great for remote employees. These pay stubs are password protected, so they are more secure than paper stubs, and are eco-friendly to boot.

I'm Treasurer of a Quilt Guild which qualifies as a 501(c)(7) Social Club, and have a couple of questions.Someone has suggested that the Guild sponsor a booth at one of the local fairs where members can choose to sell some of the things they have made, and donate some portion of the proceeds to the Guild. This seems allowable to me after reading Publication 557 since this would be income coming from the members and related to what we do. Does anyone see a problem with this that I'm not seeing?We just donated 104 quilts to the local veteran's shelter, and someone who saw the quilts has asked if the Guild will make her a quilt that she would buy. That seems like business income to me, and would violate our exempt status. It has been suggested, however, that one of the members could make the quilt, sell it to this person, and donate a portion of the earnings or even all of it to the Guild. That seems like it might work since it is income derived from the activity around which we organize, similar to above, but I'm still thinking that having someone commission the work makes it more of a gray area. Anyone have any thoughts on that?The publication only has just over a page around 501(c)(7) organizations, so I could use some advice on my questions above.
I don't know much about the regulation of 501(c)7 organizations, but I do note that they can receive up to 15% of their gross revenues from non-member use of facilities and/or services. You can find more information at the IRS website, http://www.irs.gov/charities/nonprofits/article/0,,id=96189,.... You may want to look at the last link on the page which will take you to the IRM audit guide for 501(c)7 organizations. This will detail what an IRS agent would be looking at should the instigate an audit of your Guild.Ira
Thanks. I never would have found that without your pointer. This will help me a lot.
Keep in mind that the info provided on the IRS website presents the IRS position, sometimes even when that position has been successfully challenged in tax court. If you have any questions regarding your guild's specific fact pattern, you should seek competent professional counsel.Ira

Special to the Times
Chairperson Carrie Kienzle has announced that plans are under way for the 21st annual Historic Apalachicola Home & Garden Tour, sponsored by Trinity Episcopal Church.
The tour is expected to attract hundreds of visitors to Apalachicola on Friday and Saturday, May 3 and 4. This year�s theme, �At Home in Apalach� runs the gamut from spacious and graceful century-old houses and charming bungalows to contemporary ones with new energy sources.
The tour�s featured house is the home of Ed and Candace Springer. Built by Dave Maddox for Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Flowers, it celebrates its 100th birthday this year. Constructed of heart pine, situated behind a white picket fence and shaded by towering Magnolia trees, it portrays a gracious vision of life in Apalach in the past century.
An example of Gulf Coast two-story Greek Revival architecture, the large central halls on each floor are flanked by equal-sized, spacious rooms. Modern updates in the past several decades have made the residence more comfortable, but the house remains true to its original plan. Of special interest are a collection of Weller pottery and a restored 1962 Corvette. Pastel and oil paintings done by one of the current owners adorn the walls; and examples of pique assiette (a type of mosaic) abound both indoors and out.
On Friday, May 3, a second annual preservation symposium precedes the tour day. This year�s focus will be on outdoor spaces and is titled �Public Places, Private Spaces: A Garden Symposium.� Tickets are available at $75, which includes lecture, field trip, luncheon and cocktail party
Evensong service at Trinity Episcopal Church on Friday, May 3, 5:30 p.m., provides the traditional opening for the home tour. It will be followed by a reception open to all, and a free lecture, �Gardening in Apalach� at 6:30 p.m., which will round out the day�s events.
Homes will be open on Saturday, May 4 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Pre-sale tickets will be available at $20 until the day of the event. On May 4, ticket sales will begin at 9:30 a.m. at $25 per ticket. Lunch will be served from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Trinity�s parish hall at a cost of $12. In addition, a sealed-bid auction, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. will be a part of the tour day�s festivities.
Guests to Apalachicola can enhance their weekend experience by allowing time to visit the many historical buildings and churches, museums, inns and parks that mark this historic town.
For more information or ticket sales please contact Trinity Episcopal Church at 653-9550 or the Apalachicola Bay Chamber of Commerce at 653-9419. Please visit the tour website at www.apalachicolahistorichometour.org

Traffic has been at a standstill on the New Jersey Turnpike at exit 7, near Mansfield Township in Burlington County, for more than two hours due to falling debris from a construction site.
State Police Sgt. Julian Castellanos said the debris, mostly wood, is being blown by high winds onto the roadway from an overpass that is being repaired. No accidents have been reported, but it will take the construction company at least a couple more hours to clear the site, Castellanos.
Northbound Turnpike traffic is being diverted at exit 6, while southbound traffic is stopped at exit 7. The closure has caused major delays in the area.

TVU Networks brings cloud distribution to ENG
Looking to give newsgathering organizations and freelance journalists a low-cost way to distribute news from the field, TVU Networks has released a cloud-based service called TVUPack Cloud. It allows users to capture live images in SD or HD quality with a backpack unit and transmit them to a Web audience or news station without the need for satellite or microwave equipment.
TVUPack Cloud enables organizations to replace traditional receiving hardware with a software-based receiving solution that resides in the cloud. With TVUPack Cloud, live video is captured, optimized and transmitted on the fly via multiple 3G/4G/WiFi/WiMax connections.
The signal is received and stored in the cloud, and can then be sent to a Content Delivery Network (CDN) for direct-to-Web broadcasting or to news stations for live television broadcast. This also allows reporters to distribute live content to Web audiences or TV stations that do not have any receiving infrastructure.
Paul Shen, CEO of TVU Networks, said the TVUPack Cloud service offers a number of new content delivery opportunities for organizations, whether they want to broadcast live events direct-to-Web or arm reporters with portable newsgathering solutions for neighborhood or citizen journalism projects while covering local interest stories.
TVUPack Cloud also provides broadcasters with a number of management and control features including the Cloud Service Manager (a web-based management system that controls and optimizes the broadcast signal into the cloud) and a monitor/control Interface, which allows users to monitor each cloud broadcast session remotely. This interface is accessible through a simple Web interface that is also accessible from any wireless mobile device (including iPod, iPad, iPhone and Android) via hotspot from the company's existing TVUPack backpack.
In use by hundreds of broadcast organizations worldwide, according to the company, the TVUPack gives broadcasters satellite/microwave TV truck or van functionality in a lightweight backpack. TVUPack is powered by TVU's proprietary Inverse StatMux technology, which segments a live video signal and transmits the segments through multiple independent 3G/4G connections. TVUPack provides low-latency, HD quality signal that enables users to broadcast live at any time and from any location.

Victor Gonzalez, from Rosemead CA, started dancing at the age of 14 years old. Now a 22-year-old professional Hip Hop Dancer Instructor and Choreographer as well as a businessman running a dance program for kids. Victor started dancing in 2004 for a small organization called "Rosemead Elite". In 2006 he joined Jayvee Dance Center's Youth team "Teen Groove" under the direction of Nick and Anna Golla, then in 2007 the team turned over to CJ "2AUCE" Edwards former Member of ABDC's Heavy Impact. After turning 18 Victor Joined "Main Ingredient" which was an adult competing team under the same direction of Mr. CJ "2AUCE" Edwards. Victor then joined CJ "2AUCE" Edwards as co-director of all Jayvee's Youth teams for two seasons to expand his experience not just as a dancer but as a leader. Victor started teaching Hip Hop at the age of 16 for a local community center in Rosemead Ca. Then at the age of 18 became a full-time Instructor and Choreographer for Jayvee Dance Center teaching all ages from 4 to adult.
Now In 2012, Victor is currently teaching regularly in Torrance Ca at one of the biggest dance studios "Boogiezone Utopia", and has taught Hip Hop for different dance teams, studios, local High Schools, Colleges as well as in Tucson Arizona and assisted well known Choreographer Mr. Elm Pizarro in Tokyo Japan. Victor has also directed both Boogiezone's Youth Team "Offspring" and Adult Exhibition Team "Breed" and is now the process of turning his kid's dance program "Get Down District" into a running dance studio in Rosemead Ca. As A Dancer and Choreographer and Leader Victor is showcasing his talent and sharing with thousands of people the love he has for dance. We are honored that Victor took the time to tell us about his journey and his future aspirations. We hope that the youth can find themselves their journey and be inspired to keep achieving.
Dance Mogul: You told us you were inspired by the movie "You Got Served", what was it about the movie exactly that inspired you?
Victor Gonzalez: Grew up In a household that didn't really know about the dance entertainment scene just knew about sports and boys played sports not dance. So I grew up playing sports but loved dancing and would make my cousins perform with me for family get-togethers and when the movie came out in 2004 it showcased males doing the whole dancing stuff and opened my eyes with such great passion and dreams and I knew I had to do it! So with my parents seeing males dance, they allowed me to try out a dance class and after that, I never stopped!
Dance Mogul: How did that inspiration turn into a career?
Victor Gonzalez: After a few classes I was asked by a nonprofit city organization to perform for the first time at a high school assembly and being only 14 and in middle school, I thought it was the coolest thing! And I know this may sound so typical, but after hitting that stage I knew it was what I was born to do and never stopped performing. Soon I started teaching and now I'm blessed to say that's all I do.
Dance Mogul: Were your parents supportive of your dancing?
Victor Gonzalez: I can say my parents have always been supportive as far as letting me do it, but it did take a while for my mom to accept it she was always the one that would say "if you want to dance you have to play sports! If you don't play sports you can't dance!" Lol and wanted me to become a school teacher and have that Typical "Professional Career" and my dad always loved it. So that was kind of the opposite, but after seeing my talent and love for it and being able to travel and see the world with it. They've been by my side all the way!
Dance Mogul: Was there anyone that mentored you and help guide your career?
Victor Gonzalez: Growing up as a dancer and training to become a professional it was definitely Mr. CJ Edwards former ABDC Contestant with Heavy Impact. I trained under him at the age 16 until I was 20 and he really taught me everything I know and prepared me for the worse and really pushed me to my limits and showed me that it's all hard work and nothing is given easily and as far as a businessman and professional working choreographer dancer, instructor and leader I would have to say is Mr. Elm Pizarro creator of boogie zone. Watching him work from behind the scenes and knowing how much hard work it took him to get where he has really opened my eyes. And to have him around for advice and as a mentor, till this day I'm very honored! He has always helped guide me to take those chances and always remind me that it's going to be okay, he has shown me that it takes more than talent to be a leader, dancer and a choreographer. And that nothing is better than to be happy and love what you're doing!
Dance Mogul: What are some of your favorite dance experiences?
Victor Gonzalez: I would have to say being a part of Disneyland high school musical parade, dancing for Geffin Recording artist Prima J, and being able to see and dance in Tokyo Japan and in the tropical land of Hawaii! And also creating "Get Down District" and giving an opportunity to kids and young adults and being able to show them that anything is possible.
Dance Mogul: How did the opportunity to work for BoogieZone Utopia come about?
Victor Gonzalez: After being a part of boogie zone two years prior to the studio opening elm gave me the chance to teach boogie zone and saw some of my class choreography and when the studio opened in 2012 he offered me a spot as an instructor.
Dance Mogul: What do you hope to accomplish in the future?
Victor Gonzalez: Well in the future I hope to have finally made my dance program "Get Down District" into a running dance studio in Rosemead Ca. I hope to accomplish my dreams and goals as a choreographer and dancer! Working with Artist and all that fun commercial work!
Dance Mogul: What advice would you have for young up and coming dancers?
Victor Gonzalez: I would say just never listen to the negative just listen to your heart. Surround yourself with positivity and people who are just as goal-oriented as yourself and keep fighting it's a hard struggle but if you work now then later the work is gone! And your living the life you've always wanted!
Dance Mogul: Do you think that Dance Mogul Magazine is needed for the dance industry?
Victor Gonzalez: Yes most definitely I think it's a good look for dance in general and a good way to express and share the amazing talent of dance that is all over the world!!
Dance Mogul: Is there anyone you want to thank for helping you on your journey?
Victor Gonzalez: I would like to thank my mom, dad and friends for always being there for me! Especially Boogiezone and Mr Elm Pizarro, Get Down District and my business partner Jackie Holzinger, The amazing Maker Empire Created by the talented Beau Founier and to everyone that I've worked with and shown me the reality of this amazing/hard situation we call dance!

Actions Speak Louder Than Words
In the space of 12 months two prime ministers have made bold claims that they are dedicated to improving the UK's current issues surrounding mental health. However whilst they hide behind bold words and no action, suicide rates in the UK have sky-rocketed to the highest they have been in 20 years.
Early this year Prime Minister Theresa May gave a bold and empowered speech regarding the current status of mental health in the United Kingdom. She brought up many relevant points such as tackling mental health issue at a young age and having a suitable and effective support system in place to help children and young people that are suffering in the UK's current state. May placed emphasis on how mental illnesses and mental health issues that go untreated in children (1 in 10 children suffer from a mental health issue) can result in burdening people with lifelong debilitating mental illnesses. Yet despite the forward thinking approach that May has put forward only 70p out of every £100 the NHS spends goes towards children's mental health services.
Another bold claim made by May was that she intends to hold former Prime Minister David Cameron accountable for the promises he made regarding mental health. This occurred over a year ago back in January 2016 when Cameron promised to put £1bn towards mental health funding, this being another promise that never came to pass. Just like the claims made back in March of 2015 that £1.25bn would be use to fund mental health services for children and young people. The track record speaks for itself at this point and as much as I want to believe that things with finally take a step in the right direction and the youth in this country will stop having to suffer due to more broken promises, I am left feeling that this is simply more bold, empty claims with non-existent actions to back them up.
Here are some recent statistics sourced from YoungMinds that speak volumes to this countries dire mental health situation.
- 2.2% of 16-24 year olds in Great Britain experienced a depressive episode.
- 4.7% of 16-24 year olds screen positive for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
- 16.4% of 16-24 year olds experienced neurotic symptoms.
- 0.2% of 16-24 year olds have a psychotic disorder.
- 1.9% of 16-24 year olds have a diagnosed personality disorder.
- 3.6 of 16-24 year olds have a generalised anxiety disorder.
- 2.3% of 16-24 year olds have an obsessive compulsive disorder.
- 6.2% of 16-24 year olds have attempted suicide in their lifetime.
- 8.9% of 16-24 year olds have self-harmed in their lifetime.
- In 2011, 194 15-19 year olds and 427 20-24 year olds committed suicide.
These statistics speak the harsh truth that not only our behaviour towards mental health but also the support systems in place need to be drastically improved upon. May talks in her speech about how she believes that the main task at hand should be tackling the stigma surrounding mental illness. Although part of this is in fact true as stigma surrounding the subject has become the norm, it is only one aspect of a much larger problem. Even if we are to work on derailing the stigma that currently perpetuates throughout our everyday lives we would still need a solid support system in place for when we overcome that obstacle, otherwise it would all be for nothing. With new social media popping up every day it make it so much easier for the media to spread this stigma, and when those already effected with a mental health issue having to deal with bullying and belittlement it makes it that much harder for them to reach out.
The blame also falls on those that remain silent, those that stand by and watch others suffer, you are part of the problem. I have known many people that refused to help those when they were in need, wh0 then went on to claim how effected they were when the person in question took their own life. I'm not suggesting you have to be someone's caregiver but letting them know that they aren't the problem and suggesting they seek help is a push in the right direction. Every little bit of support goes a long way and can make the differences in someone's world. This culture we have developed of keeping quiet needs to be put to an end. If you are suffering, speak out, seek help, but we must also have a safe place for people to land when they reach out. We need to have a solid support system in place to make sure that nobody falls through the cracks.
Schools and other learning institutions are areas that require desperate action when it come to the mental health and the wellbeing of children. Teaching children at a young age that mental health issues are just as serious as physical injuries and nothing to be ashamed of could allow us to break the stigma before it has time fester. All schools should also have someone qualified to not only help students through these issues but teach them about them as well. There is no excuse in this day and age to not have at least a basic understanding of mental health when one in very ten children are effected. Schools could also offer support groups for children that just need someone to talk to in a safe environment, especially if they cannot afford professional counselling.
The reality is that there is so much that can be done to prevent such horrible tragedies coming to pass, and as the children of the UK are suffering a great deal due to the governments inaction regarding mental health, we owe it to them to take a step in the right direction. Theresa May has made many good, well-intentioned points in regards to the subject and I remain cautiously optimistic the she will follow through with her promises. With how widespread the media has become and everyone having the world at their finger tips it makes it that much easier to spread the word that mental health is serious and not something to be taken lightly. It is time we took action and left empty words behind.

Healthy employees mean happy employees
There is no question over the value that being fit and healthy plays on a better quality of life. The difficulty is achieving it and maintaining it around a busy work schedule.
You may be familiar with the usual office environment and the challenges faced:
- Long stressful days and ever increasing deadlines.

Hi guys!
Sorry for the late update but I have a holiday now and I am just resting out and be out with friends and family since it is Halloween. Anyway, I got a lot of inspiration and some plans for the blog and how to improve it and be better with updates!
Also, I might buy a camera before the end of the week.. Have many things to buy/order from the internet, things that I need for example new lenses, but in which colours should these contacts be in?
I have been wondering if I am going to buy 2 pairs this time instead of one??
Well, I will keep look around.


text: I have a 2000 E46 touring wagon with the step.auto. trans. with 115k in mileage. To the best of my knowledge, the trans. fluid has never been changed(BMW life time), however I am concerned, after reading these and other forums. Would it be advisable to change the fluid now with this many miles or just let it roll ?

Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick
Publisher: Simon & Schuster
Publication Date: October 1 2009
Buy it from: Book Depository (free shipping worldwide!)
Gold star! (4.5/5)
Synopsis: For Nora Grey, romance was not part of the plan. She's never been particularly attracted to the boys at her school, no matter how much her best friend, Vee, pushes them at her. Not until Patch came along. With his easy smile and eyes that seem to see inside her, Nora is drawn to him against her better judgment.
But after a series of terrifying encounters, Nora's not sure who to trust. Patch seems to be everywhere she is, and to know more about her than her closest friends. She can't decide whether she should fall into his arms or run and hide. And when she tries to seek some answers, she finds herself near a truth that is way more unsettling than anything Patch makes her feel.
For Nora is right in the middle of an ancient battle between the immortal and those that have fallen – and, when it comes to choosing sides, the wrong choice will cost her life.
Review: After reading the first two chapters on the Simon & Schuster website, I knew I would love this book. And sure enough, I did. It's not like this topic hasn't been done before, forbidden romance. However Becca has written a novel with the same idea but the writing is exceptional. Reading Hush Hush was like riding a roller coaster, the story moves in a fast pace and before you know it, it's over. I long to go back into Patch's and Nora's world and experience everything again.
Nora is an excellent protagonist. Like Patch describes her, she's attractive, intelligent and vulnerable. Her emotions are perfectly captured and portrayed. Patch is a very intriguing guy and more so when he is reluctant to talk about his past. Though he can be provocative –and flirtatious at times, he is very attractive and has this 'good' side of him. Despite Nora feeling uncomfortable with Patch, she is drawn to him. Her best friend, Vee, is affable but don't insult her because she can be rather sharp-tongued!
There is one part towards the end when everything seemed so surreal (hint: that part reminded me of Cassandra Clare's City of Bones), I wanted Nora to run and hug Patch. I wanted to cry during that part, honestly. I can feel Nora's pain and when she questions her sanity, I got quite a bit emotional at that point.
I hereby declare Patch from Hush Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick my favourite YA guy. Trust me, by the time you are done with Hush Hush, you'll be like Edward who?
My only problem with Hush Hush is the whole similarity with that vampire book. I completely agree with Steph from Reviewer X. Once or twice I had the déjà vu feeling, personally I feel the book would have been better if the scenes were altered in way that makes it unique ( read Steph's review here).
Part romance and part mystery, Hush Hush will appeal to both young adults as well as adults. Be sure to buy Hush Hush when it's out in stores October 2009 or preorder it from Amazon/Barnes and Noble/Book Depository. You bet I am getting Crescendo, but that might take a while since Becca just turned in Crescendo to her editor not too long ago. But not to worry, Hush Hush is a
great (great is an understatement) spectacular, extraordinary book by itself, everything wraps up nicely at the end. If you want me to describe Hush Hush I would say it is a stunning riveting phenomenal novel which would keep readers hanging onto every page.

Too much testosterone
The team at Natura Skin Clinic are always looking at issues people have with their skin and bodies, in a race to help those people, eliminate their problems and promote great skin and confidence.
We've been recently talking about oily skin. Those who suffer excess oil in the T-zone on their faces and around their chest and back may do so because of the hormone, Testosterone.
Testosterone boosts the production of sebum from the glands in the skin, which results in oily skin. It isn't something to be sniffed at, as oily skin tends to have less wrinkles than dry, but some find it quite debilitating.
If you are a female and have too much testosterone in your system, it can also boost the growth of hair on the face, neck and chest, this is really the last thing many females want.
What can we do about excess oil and hair growth?
Naturally you can make sure your diet is rich is foods that reduce testosterone, such as rice, Soya and peppermint tea.
If, however you have extreme cases of oil and hair growth, it is worth speaking to specialists who offer laser treatments to stop the growth of unwanted hair and skin treatments to clear the skin and pores, reducing the amount of oil on your skin.
Oily skin can be increased by hormones, so you may notice around the time of your period, your skin is particularly oily.
It can be quite frustrating, no one likes to have a very shiny face and if you are the height of hair fashion with a fringe, your hair can get quite greasy as well.
Our advice?
Look at your diet, look at the products you are using on your face (washes with white clay are good to reduce oilyness) and if that doesn't work, head for Natura Skin Clinic, as we can offer a whole range of solutions.

Welcome to another Heartfelt Creations Wednesday! It is once again RELEASE DAY! We are introducing the Cascading Fuchsia Collection! This collection comes with one 12" x 12" paper pad, six stamp sets, two dies, and a card kit. Get it all in the "I Want it All" option, until June 5th (or supplies last).
I have to tell you folks, the stamps in this collection are GORGEOUS! All I wanted to do was sit and color them! (So, I did!!!) My mom always had baskets of fuchsias hanging from our front porch at our home in Pennsylvania. Hanging baskets of fuchsias were a staple of every country home in the summer. I tried to grow them when I lived in North Carolina, but the heat and my lack of attention...well, let's just say, I am not much of a gardener! I have not seen fuchsias since moving to California, so I Googled them before I started to color the images. I was only familiar with the traditional colors of fuchsia and dark purple. There are TONS of color options available! Who knew?! I decided to color this image with a deep maroon red and pink.
Here is how I made the card:
Create a 5 1/2" x 6", top-fold card by cutting black cardstock to 5 1/2" x 12" and scoring at 6" on the long side. Cut maroon print paper from the Cascading Fuchsia Paper Collection to 5 3/8" x 5 7/8". Set aside. Cut gray print paper to 2" x 5 3/4" and attach to the left side of the maroon paper, leaving a 1/16" border on the edges. Cut green print paper to 3 1/2" x 5 3/4" and attach to the right side of the maroon paper, leaving a 1/16" border on the edges.
Wrap a 7" length of maroon velvet ribbon around the panel to cover the seam where the gray and green paper is overlapping. Secure the ribbon at the back of the maroon panel. Attach the panel to the card front with dimensional tape.
Stamp the image from the Fuchsia Clusters Cling Stamp Set onto white cardstock with black ink. Color the image with Copic markers. Use the Spellbinders Grand Oval die template to cut out the image. Sponge the edges of the oval with gray chalk ink. Trim the Spellbinders Labels Ten die cut from black paper. Attach the image to the label die cut with foam adhesive. Attach the matted image to the right side of the card front with foam adhesive.
Glue three green pearls to the bottom of the Labels Ten die cut as shown. Create a bow from green satin ribbon and glue to the top of the image as shown. Stamp the sentiment from the Heartfelt Sentiments Cling Stamp Set onto white cardstock with black ink. Trim out the sentiment using the label strip die template from the Cut Mat Create 1B Die. Sponge the edges of the sentiment strip with gray chalk ink and attach it to the left edge of the card with foam adhesive, tucking one edge under the oval.
Decorate the inside of the card by first trimming a maroon panel from the Cascading Fuchsia Paper Collection to 5 3/8" x 5 7/8". Attach the panel to the inside of the card. Trim white cardstock to 5 1/2" x 5 3/4". Stamp the small image from the Fuchsia Bouquet Cling Stamp Set onto the upper right and lower left corners of the white cardstock using Merlot pigment ink. Attach the panel to the inside of the card.

Crystal ball gazing
By the time you read this, the Chancellor's next Budget will be less than a week away.
The media will carry rumours and leaks and journalists and tax commentators like me will be speculating on which stories might just be genuine.
At the Treasury, right up to the last minute, they will be refining the plans.
I have seen some of that process at first hand. One year, a few days before the Budget, I was asked to visit the Treasury to meet some officials who wanted my view on a proposed tax measure.
When I entered the room they put three draft Budget Day press releases on the table and asked what I thought the reaction would be for each. The documents set out three possible scenarios for a particular tax change.
What struck me was that, even at that stage, key decisions had still to be taken.
As I left, I asked if I should have signed the Official Secrets Act at some point. The official who was showing me out said "Oh, don't worry about that, we can prosecute you whether or not you've signed it".
I have never revealed what was shared with me, but I smiled to myself when a few days later I heard the Chancellor make his announcement.
I can only guess at what Mr Hammond is going to say on November 22, but if you saw my column last month you will be able to judge if my main predictions were right – further changes to align the way the employed, self-employed and those who operate through limited companies are taxed and further changes to the tax reliefs for pension contributions.
I suspect that we will also see changes to reliefs for investment in new and growing businesses and perhaps also in capital gains tax reliefs for businesses.
You will find a short, easy to read summary of the announcements on the A C Mole & Sons website the morning after the Budget.
Some of the changes are likely to take effect from April 2018 and some perhaps one or two years down the line. Some may even take effect on Budget Day itself.
If you think any of the announcements might affect you then taking advice sooner rather than later is always the safest course. The best advice is always given when there is time to talk, to think and to plan.
Paul Aplin is a tax partner with A C Mole & Sons and Deputy President of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales; you can follow him on Twitter at @PaulAplinOnTax. He and fellow tax partner Amanda Gunter can be contacted on 01823 624450.

Read this gorgeous, enlightening story (What Does a Parrot Know about PTSD, by Charles Siebert) and you'll never look at birds and mammals in the same way. Simply put, PTSD is not unique to humans.
An excerpt:
"Though the avian cerebrum possesses only the tiniest nub of the structures associated with mammalian intelligence, recent studies of crows and parrots have revealed that birds think and learn using an entirely different part of their brains, a kind of avian neocortex known as the medio-rostral neostriatum/hyperstriatum ventrale. In both parrots and crows, in fact, the ratio of brain to body size is similar to that of the higher primates, an encephalization quotient that yields in both species not only the usual indications of cognitive sophistication like problem-solving and tool use but also two aspects of intelligence long thought to be exclusively human: episodic memory and theory of mind, the ability to attribute mental states, like intention, desire and awareness, to yourself and to others.
Nature, in other words, in a stunning example of parallel or convergent evolution, found an entirely other and far earlier path to complex cognition: an alien intelligence that not only links directly back to minds we've long believed to be forever lost to us, like the dinosaurs', but that can also be wounded, under duress, in the same ways our minds can. In one recent psychiatric study conducted at Midwest Avian Adoption and Rescue Services, a parrot sanctuary and rehabilitation facility in Minnesota, a captive-bred male umbrella cockatoo who had been ''exposed to multiple caregivers who were themselves highly unstable (e.g. domestic violence, substance abuse . . . addiction)'' was given a diagnosis of complex PTSD. ''When examined through the lens of complex PTSD,'' Dr. Gay Bradshaw, a psychologist and ecologist and an author of the study, wrote, ''the symptoms of many caged parrots are almost indistinguishable from those of human P.O.W.s and concentration-camp survivors.'' She added that severely traumatized cockatoos ''commonly exhibit rapid pacing in cage, distress calls, screams, self-mutilation, aggression in response to . . . physical contact, nightmares . . . insomnia.''

FSWERKS ITG Cool-Flo Air Intake System - Ford Focus SPI / Zetec / SVT 2.0L 2000-2004SKU: FS010
FSWERKS is proud to offer the Cool-Flo Shield air intake system. Don't be fooled by other systems offering no protection from engine heat. This unit comes complete with our heat shield and rubber seal that meets up with the hood to reduce the surrounding air intake temperature by as much as 50% when compared to our competitor's versions.

Also included is an ITG breather filter, silicone connecting hose, installation hardware, and installation instructions. Factory mounting points are utilized for installation without the need for permanent modification or fabrication. The best intake for 2000-2004 Zetec and 2002-2004 SVT engines.

Nice intake noises!
Sounds great, good quality kit! Only issue was the included clamps for the silicone joiner between the filter and the MAF were just a bit too small to slide over the MAF flange. Luckily I had a clamp in my garage of the right size.
Awesome intake
The intake is good. But with a slight modification to the weather stripping... The intake works amazing!!! I recommend getting a hood with a scoop so the air can funnel in from outside, it really does work and if you wanna see it in action, come up the canyon and I'll see you there.
Great intake!
It takes 20-30 min to install this its really straight forward. It sounds great and looks great, as well as the outerwears prefilter. The only reason i gave it 4 stars is because the small breather filter is not red like in the pic, and the blue silicon connecting hose is not blue. They were both black in real life, no big deal but i wouldve loved the colors.
Glad you like the intake, sorry about the colors, ITG changed the color of their breather filters and we haven't updated our photo - taken care of now, thanks for the heads up.
Great Intake!
Bought this intake after reviewing many other products for my SVT, and have not been disappointed. Quality build and great look. Would recommend to anyone.
Perfect for my Zeyes 2.0
I've tried many other air intakes such as the k&n ram flow and base line intakes and they've all choked my engine out. This one has done wonders for performance and sound. I am beyond impressed with this intake. Thanks fswerks.

Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Bankruptcy Reform
Missouri Law Review 2006 Symposium
February 24-25, 2006
Hulston Hall
On April 20, 2005, President Bush signed into law the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005, the most sweeping bankruptcy reform legislation to be passed by Congress in over a quarter of a century. This legislation has become the subject of contentious debate among academics, bankruptcy judges, and practitioners. Some argue that this reform legislation threatens to undermine the bankruptcy system itself. This symposium examines bankruptcy reform by gathering experts from various fields, including law, psychology, and the judiciary. Addressing topics ranging from the role of race in bankruptcy reform, to using social science research to test the assumptions underlying bankruptcy reform, to the impact of means testing on the bankruptcy system, the goal of this symposium is to afford greater insight into the future of bankruptcy.

Today we mourn our lost kin in Florida.
We here at Misty For Congress are mortified because last night in Florida 50 people lost their lives and over 50 people were wounded. This is one of the largest mass shootings on american soil in history. This is an act of violence and hatred. We can pick this issue apart and say that it is a Hate Crime because it was against the LGBTQ+ Community. We can say it was a terrorist attack because of the terror it is inspiring across the United states and the world. We can talk about how it was a mass shooting because the violence was perpetuated with guns and bullets. But what this is, is a tragedy where one human hurt other humans because of fear. We don't have to pick this apart to point out one thing as the "evil" that started this, but the evil is fear and all of the other symptoms are how fear is expressed. Method or location or who was attacked could have changed but this would still be a vile expression of hatred based on fear.
The problem with fear is that it is a poison that gets into our system and our community. Fear, anger, and hatred are easy to respond to with the same, but that doesn't solve anything. We are asking you to find a way to respond with love to this tragedy. Focus on the immediate and then look towards what can be done in the future.

Donate Blood:
Because of the law's in the united states Gay and Bisexual men are barred from giving blood unless they have been celibate for the last year.

It can be anywhere not just in Orlando that they could use your help with blood. Remember this is something you can do more than just today or this week; the need for blood is everywhere.
