Company offers asphalt shingle recycling at its Granite City, Ill., location.
Oneway Construction has introduced an asphalt recycling program called Greener Roads at its Granite City, Ill., location.
Under the program, the St. Louis area company will accept loads of tear-off asphalt shingles. The collected shingles will be recycled in what the company calls "a green alternative to dumping in landfills."
Greener Roads will only accept loads for recycling that are mostly free of metal, wood, plastic, vinyl and other roofing materials such as felt and paper, according to Oneway. However, the company says it will have another container available onsite for miscellaneous materials from tear-off projects. All loads must also be free of asbestos and contain residential asphalt-shingle material only.
The cost to dump a roof load of shingles at the Oneway Construction site is $100. Recycled asphalt shingles can used in some asphalt paving mixtures.
As part of the service, Oneway will provide receipts to comply with green programs offered by some roofing manufacturers. The company also will maintain in-house accounts for frequent customers, it says.

Many people forget that Denver Broncos starting linebacker Wesley Woodyard got his start in the NFL as an undrafted rookie out of the University of Kentucky.
He's been selected by his teammates to serve as a special teams captain in each of his five NFL seasons. He's been a staple on the leader board for years now.
Former Broncos linebacker and Kentucky teammate Braxton Kelley has known Woodyard since he was seven years-old. Kelley and Woodyard served as each other's best man at their respective weddings.
"He drives me to be a better person," Kelley said of his best friend. "He drove me to be a better player. He drove me to work like I had never worked before."
While many know that Woodyard led the Broncos in tackles in 2012, not many know that he brings the same kind of energy and passion to his work off the field.
Woodyard helped start the 16Ways Foundation, which supports at-risk youth. On Thursday he hosted a dinner in Denver to raise money for the foundation, where many of his teammates provided table service.
On Saturday morning, Woodyard and his teammates untucked their shirts and made it all about the kids at the first annual 16Ways youth football camp.
Over 200 kids ages 8-14 years-old showed up to attend the free camp that featured Woodyard along with Champ Bailey, Kevin Vickerson, Chris Harris, Jacob Tamme, J.D. Walton, and Quentin Saulsberry among others.
"It's fun hanging out with the kids and being a role model for them," Harris said following the busy day.
"I love to do anything that he's a part of," Vickerson said of Woodyard. "Anything I can do to help out, I'm there. I'm his protector on an off the field."
While some of the best in the business guided kids through football drills, the day wasn't actually about football at all.
"What do you want to do after football? That's what's important to me," 16 Ways President and CEO Derrick Kelley said at the start of the day. "You guys are our future."
Kelley has served as Woodyard's mentor from the beginning. Early on he told Woodyard, "'I want you to be a productive citizen.' I told him that from day one. 'You don't owe me a dime, you don't owe me a car, you don't owe me a house. I need you to be a big brother to my kids. I need you to be a productive citizen. That's all I ask.' He's well ahead of the game."
While Woodyard and his teammates led the kids in stretches, Kelley made it his mission to head to the parents' section of the stands. He started off by telling them that what their kids learn in terms of football would be pointless that day.
"I like using football things to get my hands on the kids, so we can get in there and put our arms around them, and listen to what they have to say," Kelley told the parents.
The new theme for 16Ways is their anti-bullying campaign.
"We're always worrying about that kid that's out there bullying. Those kids in the streets are not bullies. Those kids are protecting themselves cause that's what type of environment they're in. Sometimes we may be the bully in our house, and our kids are watching. It does me no good telling these kids out here that I'm going to protect them if they don't want to go home to you guys' house. I'm going to ask some kids today, 'Hey, what's going on? Talk to me. I'm here to listen. If I identify something, I'll bring it to your attention. That's the whole goal today is to bring awareness."
Woodyard admitted that he was bullied once in the ninth grade. With Kelley's guidance, Woodyard learned how to stand up for himself.
"I want them to know that they have someone that's genuinely looking out for them," 16 Ways Vice President, CFO, and co-founder Joe Soloman said.
To prove even further that football was only a small part of the day's event, 16Ways had Invictus life coach Brian Anderson address the kids after the drills were over. Gathered around the kids as they listened to the speaker were Broncos players and volunteers from the Air Force.
That's a lot of strength and support right there. Even though strength is so much more than muscle, for a few hours on one Saturday morning, those kids felt loved and protected.
That's the way 16Ways does it. "Changing lives one play at a time."
* 16Ways and Wesley Woodyard aren't done. They will be putting on two more camps this summer in LaGrange, GA and Lexington, KY.

Exclusions and Limitations
Low Vision Benefits
You are eligible for vision coverage after you have completed one year of continuous state service and you are a permanent full-time or permanent part-time employee. County service time does not count toward eligibility time. You must enroll within 31 days of your one-year anniversary or wait until the next open enrollment period.
Service time for employees classified as student help, college interns or whose appointments are temporary, seasonal or intermittent may count toward one year of continuous state service if such employees are hired on a permanent, full-time basis or permanent part-time basis with no break in service. Please contact your payroll/personnel officer to confirm your eligibility.
If you are eligible for vision benefits, some of your dependents also may be eligible for vision benefits through your plan. Your dependents eligible for vision benefits are:
If you are an eligible employee, you will be able to enroll in vision coverage through Vision Service Plan (VSP) after one year of continuous state service. Prior to the end of your first year of service, you should receive notification that you soon will become eligible for vision coverage.
Enrollment in the state's vision plan is not automatic. Instead, you may complete your vision plan enrollment in one of two ways:
Your vision coverage will be effective the first day of your 13th month of state service. If you do not enroll within 31 days of your anniversary date, you must wait until the annual open enrollment period to obtain vision coverage.
What Are My Vision Benefit Copayments?
Member Doctor
When you receive an examination, spectacle lenses and/or frames from a member doctor, the doctor accepts the payment as payment in full (provided you stay within the limitations of the program), except for your VSP copayment of $10 payable at the time of the examination, and an additional copayment of $15 toward the cost of lenses and/or frames. Only the exam copayment applies toward contact lenses.
Non-Member Doctor
When you receive services from a non-member doctor, you will be reimbursed directly according to the Non-Member Reimbursement Schedule.
Click image to enlarge.
What's Covered?
The vision benefits provided through VSP include:
Vision Examination - A complete analysis of the eyes and related structures to determine the presence of vision problems. Contact lens evaluation and fitting and additional supplemental tests are not covered under the vision examination.
Lenses - The member doctor will order the proper lenses. The doctor also will verify the accuracy of the finished lenses. Note: Progressive lenses (no-line bifocal and trifocal lenses) are a covered benefit.
Frames - Frames within the plan allowance are covered in full. If you select a frame that costs more than the wholesale allowance (or a large frame that requires oversized lenses) there will be an additional charge. More expensive frames are available at a controlled cost, by agreement between the member doctor and VSP. To minimize your out-of-pocket expenses, ask your provider to show you frames priced within the benefit allowance.
Necessary Contact Lenses - If you use an out-of-network doctor, the necessary contact lens benefit maximum is $210. Contact lenses and the necessary opthalmic materials are covered in full, less the applicable $15 copayment, when a member doctor receives prior approval to:
Elective (Cosmetic) Contact Lenses - When contact lenses are chosen for reasons other than those above, they are considered elective. An allowance of $125 with no copayment will be made toward their cost in place of spectacle lenses and frames for the benefit period.
Plan Discounts
Patients may obtain additional pairs of prescription glasses at a 20 percent discount off usual and customary charges. In addition there is a 15 percent discount off contact lens professional services (materials provided at usual and customary fees). These discounts are available for 12 months following the patient's last covered eye examination from the member doctor who provided that examination.
Laser VisionCare Program
Through VSP's Laser VisionCare Program, patients may obtain a 20 to 25 percent discount on PRK and LASIK surgery up to a maximum charge of $1,500 and $1,800, respectively, per eye. Details about VSP's Laser VisionCare Program, as well as comprehensive information about laser vision correction surgery, can be found in the WellVision Learning Source area of VSP's web site or by contacting VSP at 1.800.877.7195 or TDD for the hearing impaired at 1.800.428.4833.
How Do I Use My Vision Benefits?
To receive vision care benefits, follow the procedure for one of the three options below.
Option 1: Choose A Member Doctor/Provider
Step 1 - Choose a doctor from the list of member doctors and make an appointment for an examination and tell him/her that you have VSP coverage.
Step 2 - The doctor will take care of all paperwork for payment. VSP will pay the doctor for the services you received according to their agreement with that doctor.
Option 2: Choose A Non-Member Provider
Step 1 - Make an appointment and receive the necessary services from the provider. Pay the provider his/her full fee and obtain an itemized bill which must contain:
1. The patient's name;
2. The date services began;
3. The service and materials received;
4. The type of lenses received (single, bifocal, trifocal, etc.); and
5. The subscriber's name, address and Social Security number.
Step 2 - Mail the itemized bill to your provider. Claims must be filed within six months from the date of service.

Out-of-Network Claims
P.O. Box 997100
Sacramento, CA 95899-7100
Option 3: See A Non-Member Provider and Have A Member Doctor Fill Your Prescription
Step 1 - After receiving an examination from the provider, pay the provider his/her exam fee. Obtain an itemized bill for the exam and the prescription for your lenses/contacts. Send the exam bill to VSP. You will be paid directly according to the Non-Member Provider Reimbursement Schedule for your exam. (See the Member Benefits and Non-Member Reimbursement Schedule for more information.)
Step 2 - Contact the member doctor to see if he/she will fill a prescription from another doctor.
Step 3 - Take your prescription to the member doctor on your first visit.
Step 4 - The member doctor will fit you with your new glasses/contacts and take care of any paperwork for payment. The doctor will be paid by VSP or EyeMed Vision Care for dispensing your glasses/contacts according to their agreement with the doctor. You are responsible for any applicable copayments.
Claim Process
Claim Review Procedures
If a claim for benefits is denied, a written request may be submitted to VSP for a full review of the denial. This request must be made within 60 days of the denial. To exercise this option, call VSP at the toll-free number listed below to obtain details on procedures to follow.
You are guilty of insurance fraud if you submit an application or file a claim containing a false or deceptive statement, and have intent to defraud or know that you are facilitating a fraud against an insurer.
If you have questions about your vision care coverage or the filing of your claim, please contact the VSP at 1.800.877.7195.
Coordination of Benefits (COB)
You and your family members may have coverage under more than one health vision plan, Coordination of Benefits (COB) is the procedure used to determine the amount of a claim that each plan should pay and to eliminate duplication of payment for services.
How VSP Pays as Primary Plan versus Secondary Plan
If both husband and wife work for the State of Ohio – each is covered under their own separate benefit and they are prohibited from covering each other. Eligible children can only be covered under one parent.
If husband and wife work for different employers and each are covering each other and the patient is the husband, his employer would be primary and his coverage through his spouse would be secondary. Same for the spouse, her coverage under her employer would be primary and her coverage through her spouse is secondary.
COB for children when parents work for different employers – the parent whose birthday occurs first in the calendar year would be considered primary.
COB for children when parents are divorced with a court decree and both work for the State of Ohio – the children can be covered under one parent, even with a court decree stating that both parents must cover the children. The parent that is determined primary should be the parent who covers the children.
COB for children when parents are divorced with a court decree and work for different employers – the parent who is determined primary by the court would be primary. If the divorce decree does not specify who is primary, COB would be allowed and the birthday rule (the parent whose birthday is first in the calendar year) would determine which benefit plan is primary.
Continuation Coverage (COBRA)
If you or one of your dependents become ineligible for employer-paid vision coverage, you may be eligible to continue your coverage under the federal COBRA program. Contact your agency for more details.
Exclusions and Limitations
The vision benefit is designed to cover your vision needs rather than elective materials. There will be extra costs involved if you select materials or services which are elective in nature, such as:
Items not covered include:
Low Vision Benefits
If you are not legally blind, but your eyesight cannot be corrected to 20/70 with the use of optical lenses, you may be eligible to receive low vision benefits. Here is how the low vision benefit works:

In general:
Perming can show that you yourself are jealous or other cause for jealousy.
European (Judeo-Christian)
– see or get done perm hair: you find a steady lover or a friend who will not leave you.
– a different take: one is jealous.
Hindu (Hinduism)
– There isn't any explanation of dream in Hinduism.
Arabian (Islamic)
– None dream explanation in Islam.
Explanation & Definition:
Short explanation
To give hair a perm, using heat, chemicals etc.
Complete definition
A permanent wave, commonly called a perm, involves the use of chemicals to break and reform the bonds of the hair. The hair is washed and wrapped on a perm rod and waving lotion is applied with a base. This solution creates a chemical reaction that softens the inner structure of the hair by breaking some of the cross links within and between the protein chains of the hair. The hair swells, stretches and softens, then molds around the shape of the perm rod.
Synonyms of perm
noun: permanent, permanent wave; plural: permanents, permanent waves; related terms: wave.

Songwriting, guitar, piano, bass, ukulele, a little bit of violin, a little bit of everything- primarily guitar and piano. It's just a hobby for now, maybe it would turn into a profession someday…who knows.

Financial Audit:
American Battle Monuments Commission's Financial Statements for Fiscal Years 2002 and 2001
GAO-03-444: Published: Feb 28, 2003. Publicly Released: Feb 28, 2003.
Additional Materials:

(202) 512-6906
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
In accordance with 36 U.S.C. 2103, we are responsible for conducting audits of the agencywide financial statements of the American Battle Monuments Commission. We audited the financial statements of the Commission for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2002, and 2001. The audits were done to determine whether, in all material respects, (1) the Commission's financial statements were reliable, (2) Commission management maintained effective internal control over financial reporting and compliance with laws and regulations, and (3) Commission management complied with applicable laws and regulations. The American Battle Monuments Commission was created in 1923 to commemorate the sacrifices and achievements of U.S. Armed Forces where they have served overseas since April 6, 1917, and locations within the United States as directed by Congress. The Commission designs, administers, operates, and maintains 24 American military cemeteries on foreign soil and 25 federal memorials, monuments, and markers, 22 of which are on foreign soil. The Commission is also responsible for designing and constructing the national World War II Memorial on the Capitol Mall in Washington, D.C., and for maintaining 3 nonfederal memorials with funds provided by those memorials' sponsors.
In our opinion, the financial statements of the American Battle Monuments Commission as of September 30, 2002, and 2001, and for the fiscal years then ended, are presented fairly, in all material respects, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the Commission maintained effective internal control over financial reporting (including safeguarding of assets) and compliance with laws and regulations as of September 30, 2002. In addition, we found no instances of Commission noncompliance in fiscal year 2002 with selected provisions of laws and regulations we tested. However, our work identified three deficiencies in internal controls over information technology as of September 30, 2002, that we considered to be a reportable condition. Commission management reported these deficiencies in its fiscal year 2002 report required by the Federal Managers' Financial Integrity Act and plans to substantially implement corrections in fiscal year 2003. For fiscal year 2002, the Commission spent $28.6 million of appropriated funds to maintain its 24 cemeteries and 25 federal memorials. It also spent $29.8 million of private contributions and investment earnings, primarily for construction-in-progress of the World War II Memorial that is expected to be dedicated on Memorial Day 2004. With $11.3 million of appropriations from Congress since fiscal year 1998, the Commission was able to eliminate its backlog of over 500 deferred maintenance projects as of September 30, 2002.

Have you seen Ashanti lately? Her body looks amazing!
Now, we've always known the singer had a pair of thick thighs but her waist-thigh radio is looking very impressive. Maybe, she's been working out or she's gained weight in the right places.
Shani showed off her banging body, early this morning, while frolicking in a Las Vegas pool. But that's not all.
The images are also sparking rumors of a Floyd Mayweather union. Yup, you've read that right. And so, the plot thickens in this quartet of Nelly, Shantel Jackson, Floyd and Ashanti.

Military Operations:
DOD's Fiscal Year 2003 Funding and Reported Obligations in Support of the Global War on Terrorism
GAO-04-668: Published: May 13, 2004. Publicly Released: May 13, 2004.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(757) 552-8100
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Global War on Terrorism--principally involving operations in Afghanistan and Iraq--was funded in fiscal year 2003 by Congress's appropriation of almost $69 billion. To assist Congress in its oversight of spending, GAO is undertaking a series of reviews relating to contingency operations in support of the Global War on Terrorism. In September 2003, GAO issued a report that discussed fiscal year 2003 obligations and funding for the war through June 2003. This report continues the review of fiscal year 2003 by analyzing obligations reported in support of the Global War on Terrorism and reviews whether the amount of funding received by the military services was adequate to cover DOD's obligations for the war from October 1, 2002, through September 30, 2003. GAO will also review the war's reported obligations and funding for fiscal year 2004.
In fiscal year 2003, DOD reported obligations of over $61 billion in support of the Global War on Terrorism. GAO's analysis of the obligation data showed that 64 percent of fiscal year 2003 obligations reported for the war on terrorism went for Operation Iraqi Freedom; among the DOD components, the Army had the most obligations (46 percent); and among appropriation accounts the operation and maintenance account had the highest level of reported obligations (71 percent). The adequacy of funding available for the Global War on Terrorism for fiscal year 2003 military personnel and operation and maintenance accounts varied by service. For military personnel, the Army, Navy, and Air Force ended the fiscal year with more reported obligations for the war than funding and had to cover the shortfalls with money appropriated for their budgeted peacetime personnel costs. For operation and maintenance accounts, the Army, Navy, and Air Force appeared to have more funding than reported obligations for the war. However, the Navy and Air Force have stated that the seeming excess funding ($299 million and $176.6 million respectively) were in support of the war on terrorism, but had not been recorded as such. Therefore, Navy and Air Force obligations exactly match funding. The Marine Corps used funds appropriated for its budgeted peacetime operation and maintenance activities to cover shortfalls in funding for the war.

Replacements for injured members of the All-Star team from both leagues were announced Friday. Ian Kinsler, the second baseman for the Detroit Tigers, will replace teammate Victor Martinez for the American League. Arizona Diamondbacks' catcher Miguel Montero will replace injured St. Louis Cardinals' catcher Yadier Molina for the National League.
Martinez has sat out the last six games with soreness in his right side and is unlikely to return until after the All-Star break. Kinsler will take his place and rightfully so. Originally Kinsler's exclusion from the AL team was considered by many, a bit of a snub. The fan vote went to the Mariners' Robinson Cano, obviously, and the player vote went to the Astros' lone representative, Jose Altuve. Altuve is very deserving of a spot as well Cano. Altuve is batting .339 with a league leading 127 hits and 41 stolen bases.
While that does seem fair enough, Kinsler's numbers made him worthy of an All-Star spot but with Cano and Altuve also vying legitimately for spots, Kinsler was the odd man out. Going into Friday's game, Kinsler was hitting .305 with 11 home runs, 49 RBI and an .816 OPS. He also had the third highest WAR (3.8) of ANY American League position player. This will be Kinsler's fourth All-Star appearance.
Meanwhile in the National League, Molina was voted into the starting catcher's role by the fans while Milwaukee Brewer's catcher Jonathan Lucroy was voted in by the players. Molina was injured on Wednesday, tearing a ligament in his thumb while sliding into third base. Lucroy will start in place of Molina and Arizona's Miguel Montero will take over as a reserve.
Montero will join teammate Paul Goldschmidt, who won the fan vote to start at firstbase, at Tuesday's mid-summer classic at Target Field in Minnesota. Going into Friday's game Montero was hitting .265 with 11 homers, 52 RBI and a .765 OPS. He was also a replacement on the 2011 NL All-Star team.

Community-based care of the chronic mentally ill requires the integrative efforts that generally fall under the rubric of case management. The authors describe models of case management according to three dimensions: the manager's degree of involvement in direct service, the type of caseload, and the source and extent of the manager's control over services and resources. The last dimension can be affected by such factors as contracts with private service providers and the case manager's rapport with clinical service providers. Various systemic problems, such as insufflcient funds and duplication of services, may impede case management. Effective case management depends on adequate resources and clear communication among the components of the system.

ICE Resin, Wire and Bezel Classes at CREATE Seattle with Instructor Jen Cushman
It's time to CREATE!
Jen Cushman will be teaching three Seattle Sessions at the CREATE Mixed Media Retreat beginning October 22.
- Breaking Out of the Bezel (6 hours) (Wednesday): Treasure hunters take heed. For those of you who love incorporating unique found objects into your mixed-media jewelry, this is a techniques-based workshop tailor-made for you. Rather than using your hard-won treasures in just one piece of art, learn how to easily make molds of your favorite objects using a non-toxic silicone molding putty and then how to make resin castings from your molds. Discover how to completely alter your resin castings with paint and patinas and transform them into entirely new components. If you are someone who thinks twice about using your precious objects, this workshop will have you seeing them in an entirely new light. Workshop attendees will leave with a finished necklace featuring a resin casting set into a bezel, along with chain and handmade clasp components.
- Links, Clasps, Components and Chain (6 hours) (Thursday): One of the most rewarding aspects of making mixed-media jewelry is being able to see the hand of the artist in your work. Learning the skills to make gorgeous necklaces, bracelets, rings, pins and more from spools of humble wire is an art form all unto itself. Fortunately, making components from wire is not only deeply fulfilling, it's economical on your pocketbook and easier to accomplish than one might think. In this workshop, you will learn how to make bead links, wire links, clasps and components and then how to chain them together to create one seamless and beautiful wearable work of art. The fundamental skills learned in this class will help you build a strong foundation for future work.
- Ready, Set, Resinate (3 hours) (Thursday Evening): Turn your eye for design into fabulous and unique jewelry. During class we will use handcrafted bezels, oodles of images, a jeweler's-grade resin and the most important tool of all—your imagination—to make a trio of resin pendants. Learn how to properly mix and pour a two-part epoxy resin, add color if you so choose, embed small objects like rhinestones or beads and how to bling it up with glitter and mica. These images are idea samples of what you can create, but you will personalize your pendant to fit your individual art aesthetic, style and favorite color palettes.
Are you ready to take your mixed media jewelry skills to the next level?

Use your lariat to lasso a CREATE Dallas class with instructor Jen Cushman
Workshop creation usually starts in the artist's studio nearly a year before the art event takes place. When students request a class, that process begins even before the current class is over.
Jen Cushman says, "The Links, Clasps, Components, and Chains class came directly out of a CREATE art retreat in 2013. My students in Chicago were casting in ICE Resin and they kept asking me wire-working questions. There simply was not time to teach wire working and resin, so I asked them, If I taught a class and in it you had a spool of wire and with that spool you learned to create connections would that be fun?"
A class is born:
Students will leave with a finished necklace and a foundation to make your own components, which will save you money.

Students will leave with three finished pendants that you can make necklaces with plus some beautiful loose collage pages created from your intuitive imagery.
Art Journaling is a way to let your authentic, creative voice sing with paper, pens, paint and various other art supplies. In this brand new workshop, you will be learning to work through the intuitive process of creating colorful, spontaneous expressions of yourself. The second part of the workshop takes the art journaling process one step further with techniques to cut, collage and re-imagine your paper pages into resin jewelry. Basic jewelry skills are helpful, but absolutely not necessary for this class. Learn how to turn your journal art into gorgeous art to wear!
Students will learn new techniques for adding permanent color to metal along with a handful of completed charms to later incorporate into your mixed-media jewelry, collage or assemblage work.
Cold enameling is a new art process utilizing micas, enameling powders, glitter powders and other interesting surface mediums in conjunction with a glasslike product called ICE Resin. These mediums used in tandem with time honored metalworking techniques add color and texture to metal. Instruction will focus on various techniques of the cold enamel process and hands-on experimentation and play with the products to create gorgeous metal jewelry pendants.
Students will leave with a handful of collaged resin pendants to use a focal pendants for your jewelry or in your collages and assemblages.
Turn your eye for design into fabulous and unique jewelry. During class we will use handcrafted bezels, oodles of images, a jeweler's-grade resin and the most important tool of all—your imagination—to make a trio of resin pendants. Learn how to properly mix and pour a two-part epoxy resin, add color if you so choose, embed small objects like rhinestones or beads and how to bling it up with glitter and mica. These images are idea samples of what you can create, but you will personalize your pendant to fit your individual art aesthetic, style and favorite color palettes.
Students will leave with a dozen new skills guaranteed to take your jewelry making to the next level.
Who doesn't love a good lariat? These chic necklaces are easy to wear and fun to make, particularly when you create them using mixed-media techniques of cold enameling, fiber manipulation and wireworking along with traditional metalworking skills. Cold enameling is a new art process that looks like glossy kiln-fired or torch-fired enamels without the use of fire or flame. You will also learn metalworking skills of cutting, annealing, texturizing, and forming sheet metal into interesting shapes that are not only beautiful but structurally integral to the lariat design. This workshop focuses on learning new skills and techniques while still making beautiful jewelry components. If you're new to jewelry making, don't be intimidated. Cold enameling is a fun and easy process and Jen Cushman has some premade metal components for those who might not wish to delve into metal cutting and forming.
And just so you don't have to scroll back up… registration for Dallas CREATE classes happens right HERE.
Hope to see you there.

Sign up for the class: Sun Sept. 14th 10-5pm $125 per student
Wire and fiber has been a prominent medium in ethnographic jewelry and adornment for centuries and used for binding, connecting, decorating and building of components.. Through many years of my own research and ethnographic repair, I have employed these same ideas to build my own unique body of work, influenced by my fashion experience, in forged wire.
Sign up for the class: Saturday Sept. 13th 10-5PM $125 per student
Focus on new works in jewelry and Resin as it has never been presented before…sand, scratch, cast and scraffitto your way into creating unique objects and ancient artifacts in jewelry in combination with metal. Focus and build with resin using multiple thin layers while learning new techniques and application for scratching, crackling, engraving, transferring of imagery, making marks and coloring surface. Set your finished components with filigree bezel wire…brazing presented.
5 days of Mixed Media and Talismans with Instructor Susan Lenart Kazmer at Mosaico in Mexico
Embed magic into your work using a jewelry art form that is reminiscent and utilizes ideas of past cultures on relics, Talismans and your own power.
You are invited to join me in a hands- on intensive 5 day retreat to learn, explore and construct jewelry components using and altering mixed media and uncommon objects while building practical metalworking skills in bronze and silver.
As a student you will build distinctive personal metal structures and learn practical skills such as soldering and brazing, cold connections, fabricating sheet metal and wire while incorporating altered mixed media objects into jewelry.
In many ancient cultures open and closed forms or containers are meant to hold special prayers, Talismans or messages, and bring them to fruition.
This 5-day workshop is April 5 -11, 2015. All of the details are HERE.
Artist Profile
Relics, Ruins and Resin Alchemy – France 2015 with Susan Lenart Kazmer and Jen Cushman
Join Susan Lenart Kazmer and Jen Cushman for an immersion workshop where students will have the opportunity to dig deep into their work by exploring innovative design concepts and honing their metalworking skills. Relics found at Paris flea markets prior to the workshop or treasured objects brought from home will be re-imagined into Talisman pieces of unique jewelry during the week at La Cascade.
A full range cold connection and wire working techniques will be taught, as well as color on metal, Resin Alchemy and Susan's innovative fiber-and-wire connections. We'll also create a forged wire and resin paper journal so students can capture all the new design ideas and stunning beauty the South of France has to offer. Healthy and delicious meals are prepared fresh each day by French chef Nese Pelt, and dinner is served each evening family style with much joy and laughter.
$3,200 includes double occupancy bedrooms at La Cascade, meals, instruction and a comprehensive kit to build your pieces. Space is limited. $500 deposit secures your spot.
Susan and Jen usually get into Paris the Friday before the workshop (often joined by a few students) and attend the flea markets Saturday and Sunday in search of found objects and kick around Monday just enjoying Paris. Jen keeps everyone informed of the itinerary and meeting places and times and everyone is welcome to join them or go explore on their own or in pairs/small groups. For example one year a small group wanted to do the Louvre museum. Susan and Jen had seen it a bunch, so they wanted to hang out a Les Deus Maggots (a famous outdoor café) and go to the vintage clothing shops. Others wanted to walk the city and see the love locks on the bridges. Everyone spent a lovely Monday going our separate ways for the day and then met up for dinner and a sunset boat ride on the Seine.
Tuesday is a travel day to Durfort and we take the train. Tuesday evening is the first family style meal (All meals are fresh and we eat family style.) at La Cascade and students unpack their work spaces. The workshop starts Wednesday and goes through Monday. Saturday is a big market day in Revel, the next town over and it's wonderful and amazing. Small community Flea Markets pop up while we are there and Susan and I learn about them at arrival. We all go check them out in the mornings as they appear for a couple of hours.
Jen says:
"We'll be doing lots of high end resin work and metalworking and enameling. Susan takes everyone through their work and helps each person dig deeper into their work in order to really help hone in and influence change and growth. I'm always there for support and help in the studio during some of the off hours."
"Pretty soon, I will open a private Yahoo group where we can all meet each other and I can give information without clogging up everyone's emails. We "talk" lots on this group so it seems like fast friends once we all arrive. Again, as the space is limited to only 12 people we become pretty tight pretty quickly."
Wearable Art Classes at Bead and Button Show with Jen Cushman
What's not to love about spending five full days surrounded by beads and fabulous other jewelry making supplies?
Jen says: "The Bead and Button Show is the largest show every year in the US where making fabulous works of wearable art takes center stage. The faculty is the best of the best, and I'm honored to be teaching ICE Resin and metalworking classes again this year. The students are amazing! Most of them are professional designers, teachers or store owners themselves. Their questions and creative thought processes always makes me come out of the show with new ideas to explore for the next year's classes."

Good Morning DAD...
Not only are you awake early, you'll be out of the house early as well. If you're anything like me, once you're out you'll find a few other stops to make, maybe even one to Starbucks or the Waffle House.
Very cool and rainy here with a lot more on its way. Guess we won't be heading to the grounds of the Hudson Valley Mansions today. I'll have to get my sunshine and smiles from you today. I'll have a cup of that sumatra and visit your birds and read some of your sidebars.
Enjoy your outings and later enjoy the Natural Wildlife Habitat you have worked so, so hard to create. ...Sara's Mom

Dear Dad, Ms. Mary, and handsome Prince!:
Sounds like you've gotten everything ready for Prince's viewing pleasure again, Dad. That's very kind of you, and so important for him! :)
Hope your barber does a good job and that you have safe journeys to town and home. It's Friday so you don't have to feel at all bad about relaxing for the rest of the day, either, if you want!
Love to you all from Jamaka and fams

Ghaziabad: Investors earn Rs 10 lakh in 2 yearsJun 28, 2014, 06:17PM IST
Featured Today
Those who plan to invest in Mohan Nagar have now got reason to cheer. This locality of Ghaziabad has witnessed over 25 per cent appreciation in average property values in the last two years. Owing to growing speculation over metro connectivity and then final confirmation from GDA, DMRC and Delhi Ministry has resulted in this massive increase.
Check out properties in Mohan Nagar
The data with Magicbricks reveals that average capital values in June 2012 were Rs 3700 per sq ft which appreciated to Rs 4400 per sq ft in June 2013 and reached 4700 per sq ft in June 2014. That means, the flat which was offered for Rs 37 lakh in 2012 is now available at Rs 47 lakh, making a steep jump of Rs 10 lakh in two years.
A city-based realtor, Anand Jagannath attributed this increase to existing and expected metro connectivity in the area. He says, "Mohan Nagar is no more seen as a distant location for residential purpose as affordable transport is available for travelling between Delhi and Ghaziabad. The area is close to the existing metro stations of Dilshad Garden and Vaishali and is soon going to have its own station."
Another real estate agent Kishan Chowdhary informed Magicbricks that majority of the buyers in Mohan Nagar are end users working in Ghaziabad, Noida and even Delhi. Most of the residents of the locality are middle scale businessman or service class people who usually commute to Noida or Sahibabad Industrial Area.
"Maximum number of transactions happening here are from those who are living within 5km radius of Mohan Nagar. Some of them are making second investment and others are choosing this area for upgrading their lifestyle," says Chowdhary.
Investment options
According to the data, Mohan Nagar majorly offers multi-storey apartments. A 2BHK apartment of 800 sq ft in is available for Rs 35 lakh while a 3BHK unit of 1100 sq ft is offered for Rs 50 lakh. The area rarely possesses larger units of 4BHK as they are expensive and cost more than Rs 90 lakh.
Infrastructure and connectivity
Recently Uttar Pradesh government has sanctioned nearly Rs 750 crore for Ghaziabad's infrastructural development. This fund will be used to promote intercity connectivity through Metro and Mono rail, rapid metro services and creating basic amenities in near distance such as school, colleges and Hospitals.
Apart from this, Dilshad Garden Metro extension work has also got nod as DMRC has received funds from GDA for initiating the work. Once this line gets operational, Mohan Nagar will be directly connected to Kashmere Gate and further with Rajiv Chowk with one interchange.
In fact, widening of NH 58 and Link Road has also impacted the real estate here as traveling will become much easier for those travelers who commute Noida, Greater Noida daily.
The area has ample of school, colleges and hospitals within 6km radius.

ive been a loyal customer for couple of years now but the price increase is a dissapointment for me on the 5 lbs blend. i can get i whey isolate with same amount of servings and more protein for the same price or less thats why this month wil be switching to a different brand. quality is good but price increase not soo goood
Taste and texture have changed By: Mike
Review posted on: 2009-11-21 02:12:52 -0500
I made my first purchase about 9 months ago through SD - it was great tasting and had a good consistency. Three months later my second 5 pounder looked, tasted, and mixed differently. I thought I may have gotten a bad batch, it also came in a pouch instead of tub. It could have been a fluke but the next batch was more of the same. I don't think I'll purchase AlltheWhey again. Too bad cause the price is great.
Change in source? By: daniel
Review posted on: 2009-06-15 13:26:01 -0400
I've gone through 3 bottles of this, 1st was cup cake batter, loved the flavor, tasted like actual cup cakes, and then tried the much talked about cinnamon bun, which was great as well. Then went back to the cupcake batter flavor, and there was definately a big change in the ingredients... It tasted nothing like the first jug, much worse, and on top of the consistancy being slightly grainy, the protein itself produced a thick foam when mixed with just water, and all of these being a new development compared to the first batch. Who knows whats going on, but until I find out confirmation from some one else, I am switching to something else.
Nothing Spectacular By: Tony
Review posted on: 2009-04-30 11:03:02 -0400
Based on reviews, I was expecting a flavor that rivaled Muscle Milk. Sadly, the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup didn't come close. It's a good value, but I'd probably go with ON if I wanted a value-priced whey, as they have the added benefit of Aminogen. ATW doesn't have this, and trust me...you'll notice the difference.
A very good, affordable whey protein!! By: Brandon
Review posted on: 2009-12-28 10:36:08 -0500
I used to use Optimum Nutrition Whey Gold Standard, and even before when it was called Optimum 100% whey protein, and I thought that was as good as it got in terms of taste and mixability for a decent price. I was so wrong! Every since I tried ATW Cinnamon Bun, I've never went anywhere else for protein. At 30$ for 80 servings, that is less than $0.50 per single serving shake, and a single serving with milk fills me up!!! Also, the taste is incredible, and I find that both the Isolate and the Blend mix very well, and taste pretty similar. The isolate is a little better for your digestive system and is absorbed a little faster in your system, but they are both great choices! I am extremely satisfied with this protein, and trust me, I've tried them all. Everything from BSN, Gaspari, Optimum, Scivation, Dymatize, Cytosport (Muscle Milk), you name it, I've used it, and I'm sticking with the All The Whey. You simply can not beat it.

I'm flying today so I can't make a very big post, but I just wanted to take a second to mention the impending Giants-Cowboys game. Frankly, I don't know what team to cheer for in the game. I grew up hating them both.
So, while I'm travelling today, I put it to ya'll. Who do you hate the most? Do you watch it because it is NFL football and that's better than ice dancing or golf or whatever else is on? Or do you keep it off because watching those two teams in the playoffs when we're out makes you vomit? Comment below on who you want to see win, or if you can't do that, send us your idea for preventing both teams from winning (ie the blimp crashes into the stadium and kills both teams, Lawrence Taylor sends hookers to all of their rooms, etc.).
I'll post my own complete thoughts tomorrow. And also tomorrow or the next day, I will be presenting my plan for the offseason including potential free agent acquisitions and my first of several mock drafts. Stay tuned, folks. More in the offseason than any one Redskins fan could use.

The Wädenswil clone normally performs best in the warmer vintages: 1998 was a warm vintage with an unusually small crop, leading to one of the best vintages we have seen at Bethel Heights. This is clearly the most powerful wine we produced in 1998. The grapes were picked on October 6th under dry conditions. Fermentation started spontaneously on the third day, and it was pressed on the 12th day, completing malolactic the following Spring. It was racked once and bottled without filtration after 16 months in the barrel. Every vintage has its pleasant surprises, and this was ours for 1998. Deep, dark, and rich, this wine has both a youthful forwardness and great aging potential.
Planted between 1977 and 1979, Bethel Heights was one of the first vineyards in the Eola Hills, a chain of hills in the center of Oregon's Willamette Valley. The estate winery was established in 1984 and currently produces 10,000 cases of wine annually, most of which still comes from the 50 acre estate vineyard. Bethel Heights specializes in Pinot Noir, but also produces Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc.

S Eric Smith,(6-1, 209LBS), played at Michigan State University and was selected in the third round with the 97th overall pick in the 2006 NFL draft. The pick was awarded to the Jets as a compensatory selection.
He's, a native of Groveport, OH, played in 23 games over the past two seasons, while posting over 100 tackles in both campaigns. His 101 tackles in his senior campaign ranked first and his two interceptions ranked second on the Spartans. His 323 career tackles rank 13th in school history, and posted 13 games with double-digit tackles as a Spartan.
Schlegel (60-250 LBS) was a 2 year starter for the Buckeyes who started his college career at Air Force. A great run stopper, Schlegel had 82 tackles as a senior for OSU. He was selected by the Jets in the third round with the the 76th overall pick.
Although at press time the Jets did not officially announce Schlegel's signing, the move was confimed to Jets Insider.com by ESPN Radio's Peter Schwartz.
WR/QB Brad Smith, (6-2, 210 LBS) fron the University of Missouri, was selected in the fourth round with the 103rd overall pick in the 2006 NFL draft. Smith spent his four years at Missouri playing quarterback for the school and finished his career with 13,088 yards of total offense and holds the school records for rushing touchdowns, with 42 and passing touchdowns, with 56.
Smith is the only player in NCAA history with 8,000 yards passing and 4,000 yards rushing. He also becomes the only player to twice throw for 2,000 yards and rush for 1,000 yards in the same season, when he accomplished the feat in his freshman and senior years, just missing again in his sophomore year. The Jets plan to convert Smith to a WR in the NFL.
The signing of the above players leaves five draft picks left to ink before players report for camp next Thursday.
Jets Insider.com is again putting together a fully inclusive group roadtrip to Jacksonville in October when the Jets clash with the Jags! Package includes 3 day hotel, group game ticket and transportation from the hotel to Alltel Stadium all for $375.00. Dont miss fun in the sun with the Jets and fellow fans!
