Sacred Heart/Holy Child Preschool will host an annual dinner and auction on Feb. 11 to raise funds for general operating expenses. Merchandise, gift baskets and discount certificates are being collected now until Jan. 31.
The cost of the dinner is $20 per person or $35 for a couple. Doors open at 6 p.m. on Feb. 11, the Saturday before Valentine's Day, dinner is served at 7 and the live auction follows at 8.
The parochial school has 74 students enrolled in preschool through fifth grade. They are accredited by the State of Kansas and students must take the same assessment tests as public schools, lead teacher Linda Conkle said.
On the 2011 tests, the school achieved building-wide Standard of Excellence in reading and science and fifth graders earned Standard of Excellence for reading and math.
In all, 10 students scored exemplary in reading and six in math.
The students do well when they go on to public school, Conkle said, with a large percentage of them achieving honor roll status in middle and high school and several have been named as salutatorians or valedictorians of their graduating classes.
The school provides a high teacher to student ratio and Christian-based education.
For information about the fund-raiser, contact Jenny Lamatsch at 620-672-2405, Jodi Swayden at 620-213-0403 or Linda Conkle at 620-672-3687 (school).

I have a MKMapView added to a UIScrollView. I thought that the expected functionality would be that panning the map would cause the map to move, but it's parent UIScrollView would not scroll. i.e. if you were panning the map, the scrollview would stay in it's current position.
This is my code:
scrollView = [[UIScrollView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.width, self.height)];
[scrollView setAutoresizingMask:UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth];
[self.view addSubview:scrollView];
double mapHeight = 200;
if([AppDelegate isRunningOniPad])
mapHeight = 400;
map = [[MKMapView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 200, self.width, mapHeight)];
[map setExclusiveTouch:NO];
[scrollView map];
I've tried setting exclusive touch to YES and to NO, but it doesn't seem to have any effect.
Is there a way to get the behaviour working so that panning the map will stop the UIScrollView from moving? I've tried changing map to a UIScrollView instead of an MKMapView too, but that had the same behaviour - so I doubt that this is MKMapView specific.

Skip to comments.Heinlein, Hugos, and Hogwash
Posted on 05/08/2014 7:29:55 PM PDT by Perdogg
Robert Heinlein could not win a Hugo Award today.
If you are a fan of science fiction, you know how shocking that statement is. If you are not a science fiction fan, I salute you for having better things to do with your time than read stories about space princesses being rescued from bug-eyed monsters by stalwart and clean-limbed fighting men of Virginia; but please let me explain why this is shocking.
(Excerpt) Read more at intercollegiatereview.com ...
I've read this earlier. Reminded me of Starship Troopers and how they limiting the vote to the military. I'd seriously consider running for office on such a platform. What's wrong with the idea?
I'm rereading the Edgar Rice Burroughs Venus series now.
I didn't recognize it when I read it as a teenager but its an anti communist story.
I think a critical component to voting should be paying taxes. That doesn't mean everybody has to be rich. We need a tax structure where everybody pays something. That "something" immediately makes all but the uber-warped liberals into somewhat of a fiscal conservative. The current freebie structure we have make a big voting block who vote to fill their pockets with money from those who pay taxes.
It's a concept which appeals to many in the military.
But other than that...no.
So only government employees who are trained to follow orders no mater what can vote? And you don't see a flaw in that?
Thanks for the tip. I haven't read any John C. Wright, but I've just ordered his Chaos trilogy from Amazon, in used paperbacks. Looks promising.
Heinlein would be required reading if I were a high school English teacher. My English teacher had us read The Puppet Masters and I think read it 5 more times over the summer.
Nothing is wrong with the concept as long as you really grok (sorry I'm a Heinlein fan) it. It was more complicated than just allowing the military to vote.
If R.A.H. were still with us; I suspect he'd be reading John Scalzi & Robert J. Sawyer. Both of them have won Hugo's and have written novels with STRONGLY Heinleinian themes.
If you've missed it; find and read Sawyer's "Calculating God"!
Back in the mid-1980s while I was in the U.S.Navy, I bought a sci-fi anthology that featured all female authors. I also bought a couple more sci-fi novels written by men. Who had written what didn't matter to me until I got into the anthology and found some of the short stories were about lesbians.
I'm not interested in the stories of lesbians or other homosexuals. This would include others, such as straights, involved in S&M - not interested.
Mel Brooks on Blazing New Comedic Trails in 'Blazing Saddles'
"They can't make that movie today because everybody's so politically correct. You know, the NAACP would stop a great movie that would do such a great service to black people because of the N-word," says Brooks. "You've got to really examine these things and see what's right and what's wrong. Politically correct is absolutely wrong. Because it inhibits the freedom of thought. I'm so lucky that they weren't so strong then and that the people that let things happen on the screen weren't so powerful then. I was very lucky."
I'm still trying to finish the Nebula 1958 Anthology.
Seems to be a lot of prissiness among SciFi writings fans. Didn't know that this even existed. Well, I guess political correctness infects even those who like non-existent worlds and people.
I've met a lot of Sci Fi actors/actresses and some writers. Found them to be very nice, educated, and friendly, even after spending hours at SciFi conventions. They seem to have a high regards for most of their colleagues (don't get me started on the Shatner/Takei issue).
Why can't we all just get along?
If you want to read or hear really nasty PC stuff, go to any American university campus today. Just tell the Moslem students that you are Jewish and see what happens. Tell the Marxists that marxism has killed more people than any other "ism" and they will deny it, justify it, or try to silence you.
Do the old Charles Bronson "finger pointing as a gun" gesture and you'll end up in jail, even if you are 5 years old.
Say something negative about a liberal woman (esp. if it is true), and you are labelled a mysognist or whatever despite the fact that you are married to a woman. Now, if you are a man and married to a man, you might get away with it. If not, you're toast.
Let's let Sci-Fi writing remain one of the last PC-untouched bastions of literature. Otherwise, "beam me up Scotty, there's no intelligent life down here."
It's gone in the US, and in the Western World for the foreseeable future. The why's are complicated. There's a ton of legal and political history, and it's not all bad. The truth is, the so-called "givers" haven't always treated the so-called "takers" like humans (and the meaning of those concepts has changed radically troughout time), and it sort reinforces the idea that people can't be trusted to treat people like people. It's human nature. If only someone besides humans would take charge...
SciFi in the 1950-70's was different. I like it better than today's, in general (George RR Martin... his Song of Ice and Fire/ Game of Thrones series is a masterpiece [and HBO does a great adaptation], I wish he'd finish it already.)
But, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, Starship Troopers, Stranger in a Strange Land, etc, are awesome. Written by a man who loved humanity and loved in country. By the way, same can be said for Slaughterhouse Five, Breakfast of Champions, and Cat Cradle, different people, different perspectives, but the same love of mankind in general and the American way in particular, but very different.
I'll finish "The Mote in God's Eye" tonight, which has some of that same militaristic honor vibe, and some cool human nature commentary. A great book.
Orson Scott Card wrote Ender's Game for every kid who though they were smart but misunderstood. The other books in the Ender Quintet were Antrhobology 101 for Americans who though they could understand other people and other groups by applying their own views to explain the actions of others (another masterpiece, and I wish he'd write about whoever created that virus). Card has some beliefs that people who loved his work and his philosophy thought intolerant. they were surprised, and that shock made them mad. I think it's ironic given his message. As a SciFi writer, he's brilliant.
Also, read Patrick O'Brian. Not Sci Fi, at all, but a similar old school philosophy that won't be popular now, but was an awesome series.
But, in the end, I think this is simple. Until the late 1960's, then changing through about 1980, our society started to reject the pre-196(4/5-ish) American culture, in favor of some Post-modern, more equitable beliefs, and that change included the arts, movies, literature, TV, etc. That wasn't all bad. There were major inequities and cultural failings in our country and Western culture that were ignored. The problem was that we started ignoring the good stuff that was there, and too many of today's people forget the good.
It's a shame. It's also probably a luxury of being rich and safe, or fat dumb and happy for too long.
Federal Service Guarantees Citizenship.
You're probably correct, I've not read the book for awhile!
It would be reasonable if it included the hard civic service in the book, too.
But today it might fail because only 1.5% are active military. We'd see public school teachers, environmentalists, NGO workers and other left dominated groups say they serve the public, they get to vote.
Michael Savage proposed a system where anyone collecting federal benefits, from a federal civilian employee to someone collecting TANF or Section 8 housing vouchers or SNAP food benefits or Medicaid is ineligible to vote. If you live even partially at the benefit of the treasury, you don't get to vote on how the money is apportioned.
Analog ran a story called The Vaults of Permian Love. I started reading it, groaned when I got to the lesbian, but stuck it out and was pleasantly surprised by the story. There were no lesbian love scenes, but the fact that one character was a lesbian was crucial to the rather interesting premise of the story, not just a gratuitous drop-in.
John C. Wright is really, really good. It should say who wrote the article because conservative people who dig sci-fi should know his name if they don't.
Once a classically educated libertarian, now a conservative Catholic whose 'golden age' series is the best thing to come out since Dan Simmon's Hyperion, at least that I have read. If there's any justice he will be looked back at as being up there with Gene Wolfe, another conservative Catholic sci-fi writer, one who is actually pretty well regarded even among the lib elite, as he should be.
I haven't read the Chaos series, but have read 'count to a trillion' and the golden age series. I thought it was tremendous, really a love letter to classic sci-fi series of the 60s using an argument about the dangers and benefits of where technology might be taking us, from a pretty conservative and Christian point of view. Anyone who digs really good sci-fi from say the late 50s-60s would dig it, but many let his politics turn them off, which doesn't say too much for them as sci-fi fans, in my opinion.
The libs can't stand this guy, his blog is full of everything between dissertations on natural law to classic sci-fi to modern politics. Usually with a heavy Catholic view, at least since his conversion, which he claims is miraculous and happened when he had a heart attack.
I was thinking more along the lines of anybody who has the stomach for hard work, service, and willingness to defend the country, as having a higher liklyhood of not abusing their vote. But, this is all dreaming, not even conservative utopias should be trusted, so you're probably right in your objection. Vanity of vanities, all is vanity!
I had the rather odd thought that American Men should marry Russian women, and American women should marry Russian men...
Should apply to state workers too.
To be honest, I think we need compulsory military service the way South Korea does. I believe that when they reach a certain age, they have to put in 2 years. I would like to make it "compulsory" if you want the right to vote. I also think we need better war preparations in this country, particularly by building the same type of shelters and giving the same kind of basic training and drills that the Russians put their people through. They're preparing for a world war and a nuclear exchange. We're likely to go down with a single EMP strike. But I also want a million dollars, and maybe a supermodel for a wife! So, I'm not too hopeful on the average American giving up their comfort and making sacrifices like that, willing to go out and make the constitutional changes this would require.
I just re-read the Pellucidar series, found 'em in a used bookstore, all with the Frazetta covers.
I thought there was a lot of pretty conservative ideas I missed the first time around. Definitely would have got ERB vilified if he put it out today.
A perfect rebuttal to a longstanding proposal.
Heinlein definitely had a deviant side. Want proof? In "Time Enough for Love", Lazarus Long has a romantic relationship with his mother. 'Nuff said.
I need to reread his book, as it has been quite awhile. I do recall that there were indeed other ways to qualify. But, the premise, I most certainly embrace, that citizenship is not a birthright.
critical component to voting should be paying taxes
I agree, this is why I favor a consumption tax, with no exemptions. When everyone has a stake in the game the game will change.
At least Russian women can drive a tractor and harvest potatoes. Most American women can't do that.
However, my wife can really cook potatoes and I taught my daughter to drive at tractor at age 12. We were never on a kibbutz, but we like farming so but I guess I'll have to create a new saying:
You can take a Jew out of the kibbutz or shtetl, but you can't take the kibbutz/shtetl out of the Jew.
Interestingly, none of my Russian or Austrian grandparents lived in them either. They were city folk. Some left because of the pogroms that were just starting in Russia. A few left Austria for a new life in America (still under the Hapsburgs). The rest stayed and were killed in the Holocaust.
I'm so regular American that I bleed Red, White and Blue. And proud of it. I really hate those PC fools. They make life bland, fearful and rigid, just the opposite of what freedom should be.
Just rambling. It is late and I'm going home to get some dinner.
Thanks Perdogg.
Russian farm women can do that. And there probably isn't a single American farm woman who can't do it, too.
In the book everybody could serve in some form or another. They would find a job you were capable of doing. For example, even a paraplegic could be used to test new medicine.
Ah, yes; great idea. Keith Laumer explored it...
You might want to try out some of John Ringo's books. The first book in his Aldenata series is A Hymn Before Battle, and is available for free at Baen Publishing's website at the aforementioned link. The Last Centurian is not free, but you won't find a more conservative freeper-style book short of Matt Bracken.
College Wins US Debate Championship By Repeating the N-Word Over and Over, Speaking Incomprehensibly
Because it has an unpopular name ... Fascism. Perhaps we can re-brand it as Smileists and Smileism.
Yea, that's happened to me a few times. It's like getting a bucket of cold water tossed in your face. Good for some, not for me.
Thanks for posting this.
I love Major Mike's comment to the article at the link.
Can you imagine the invective and vitriol that Farnham's Freehold would bring if it were published today?
[no Muslim would hold a white slave eunuch - that's racist]
Starship troopers is a bit dated today. It's Jingoism at it's finest. Today's U.S you can't even be an otherwise law abiding citizen and not offend somebody.
I read a lot of his books. Entertaining, easily understood if a bit over the top but his style and my tastes evolved over time.
I mean who doesn't like: "An armed society is a polite society"?
You might also want to look at the work of Tom Kratman. He's collaborated with John Ringo on a couple of books, and written some on his own. Also, Michael F. Flynn writes very intelligent, not left-leaning books. He's been compared to Heinlein on numerous occasions.
Something we are in agreement on, who knew?
If you are unfortunate enough to be in the military under this regime... You are knowingly or unwittingly a tool of the Marxist in the white hut.
The Heinlein paradigm only works when patriots are commander in chief.

The Elks Mobile Dental Unit has been keeping people from feeling down in the mouth for more than 50 years. And through next week, individuals in the St. Clair area and beyond can take advantage of the service, which provides for the dental needs of children and adults with developmental or intellectual disabilities throughout the state of Missouri.
The program, the major philanthropic project of the Missouri Elks, utilizes a 33-foot dental van. According to information from the Elks, it "brings accessible free dental services to the areas of the state that need it most."

Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: All-Sex
Maybe this line's storied name will help move this, though we remember previous volumes being considerably hotter.
Wow. Who would have ever thought that director Bionca, once the Queen of Nasty, could look so passé?
But going by Beyond Reality 7's five unmemorable vignette-like sex scenes - two fourways, a g/g threeway and two b/g pairings - Bionca is no longer on the cutting edge of hard-edged fare. Far from it. There is a definite Oldish School feel to much of the sometimes-well-energized-but-generic-nonetheless proceedings.
And there's not too much here that's "beyond reality" either. What little tricks we haven't seen before, including a speculum d.p. and a hot wax facial, seem gimmicky, outrageous for outrageousness' sake.
Maybe Bionca just had an uninspired shoot. We sure hope that's the explanation. And given her stellar track record, we're certainly willing to give her the benefit of the doubt.

Has anyone had experience with birthing at the Authentic Birth Center in Wauwautosa? It just opened this fall, so it is pretty new. The midwives there are LaNette McQuitty and Ali Phipps. I live in Illinois but I'm strongly considering going there for my care. Just curious if anyone has any personal reviews/stories they would like to share. Thanks!

In my siddur I find a list of 6 daily remembrances. But they seem to be out of order, for example Sabbath is last when it was commanded before the incident with Miriam. Is there a reason for this order or is that just the way it was printed?

Here's how it works:

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Siddur Rabenui Hazakain 198 says that the order is based on the way it is mentioned in Ahavas Olam and Kriyas Shema.
He leaves it at the end that the question still remains as to why it is in the order of Birchas Kriyas Shema. Also on the notes on the bottom he questions that this only works according to this Nusach and not according to other Nusachs that say the words in a different order.

- PaceSetter Catalytic Converters replace inefficient stock models with a higher-flowing, more powerful unit
- Complies with EPA and C.A.R.B. requirements for smog laws on catalyst-equipped vehicles (see notes below for specifics)
- PaceSetter Catalytic Converters are custom-made to fit your specific exhaust system
- Powered by a more efficient honeycomb catalyst that does its job with less restriction and improves scavenging
- PaceSetter Catalytic Converters boast a welded stainless steel case for assured durability
- Bolt-on installation for most vehicles and systems where possible
- Your PaceSetter Catalytic Converter carries a complete 5-year/50,000-mile warranty
Chains are only as strong as their weakest link. Offensive lines only as good as their least effective man. The same goes for your exhaust system: even with custom headers and fast-flowing tailpipes, a stock catalytic converter could be slowing the flow down.
That's where PaceSetter Catalytic Converters enter the system. PaceSetter Catalytic Converters are specially engineered to pick-up the slack in a high-flow exhaust system. An extremely efficient honeycomb catalyst accommodates the faster flow and stays smog legal.
That's right-PaceSetter Catalytic Converters meet EPA and C.A.R.B. requirements for vehicles. You can have the most powerful exhaust system, from header to tip, and be completely street legal.
PaceSetter Catalytic Converters forego flimsy materials, opting instead for a fully-welded stainless steel body. And, your PaceSetter Catalytic Converter is built to last, reflected in the complete 5-year/50,000-mile warranty.
- Laws regarding replacement of catalytic converters are strict and vary by area. Check your local laws for regulations covering catalytic converter installation and replacement.
- Be aware that many vehicles have more than one catalytic converter. Enter your vehicle information above to see available options
Thanks to the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act: US Code – Title 15, Chapter 50, Sections 2301-2312, your vehicle's factory warranty is protected by law when you add aftermarket parts. Details

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the third leading cause of death in the United States. COPD is a chronic lung disease characterized by progressive limitations of the airflow in and out of the lungs, and increased shortness of breath as the disease progresses.
The 108 clinical trials listed here include 65 that have not yet started recruiting patients or are just now seeking volunteers to participate and another 43 that are active, but not recruiting new patients. This information is potentially valuable to patients still seeking possible treatments for Alzheimer's disease. It provides a new therapeutic option to discuss with physicians.
America's pharmaceutical research and biotechnology companies are developing 851 medicines for diseases that disproportionately affect American women. The medicines in the pipeline for women (either in clinical trials or awaiting review by the Food and Drug Administration) include:
Developing new therapies to treat disease and to improve quality of life is a long and complex process. A critical part of that process is clinical research, the study of a pharmaceutical product in humans. Without clinical research studies, no new medicines could be made available to patients.
America's biopharmaceutical research companies are currently developing 37 medicines to help the estimated 1.5 million Americans living with Parkinson's Disease, a motor system disorder resulting from the loss of dopamine-producing brain cells. All of the medicines are either in clinical trials or awaiting review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
America's biopharmaceutical research companies are developing 187 medicines to help the nearly 60 million American adults now suffering from some form of mental illness—from anxiety to depression and from schizophrenia to addictive disorders, such as dependence on alcohol or drugs. All of the medicines are either in clinical trials or awaiting review by the Food and Drug Administration.
Every 40 seconds an American dies from cardiovascular disease, and more than 83 million Americans have at least one type of the disease, the American Heart Association (AHA) reports. However, death rates from heart disease and stroke are falling, thanks in large part to new medicines. Advances in medicine have helped cut deaths from heart disease by one third between 2001 and 2011, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Comparing Linux and Microsoft Windows for Enterprise Usage
Cloud computing is almost as buzzworthy as virtualization, which is funny considering that it is an offshoot of the virtualization movement. Cloud computing refers to a strategy of using a pool of resources (such as servers, storage, bandwidth) or a "cloud" to offer individualized servers or services to customers. Cloud services usually pertain to Web-based application services, but more and more apps are appearing "in the cloud". These newer apps include corporate e-mail hosting, file storage, user collaboration and mobile apps. Clouds are a cost-beneficial proposition for smaller customers that want the advantages of a data center (clustering, high availability/disaster recovery) without the cost of maintaining one. Amazon has been a pioneer in this area with its Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) service where you can purchase your own cloud servers or applications that run within the Amazon cloud. Microsoft has jumped into the market and poured considerable resources and energy into the emerging technology. It has been live with its public cloud, Azure, since 2009. Microsoft's private cloud, which will be managed through System Center, is scheduled for release in the first half of 2010.
If you want to deploy a private Linux-based cloud now, you can do so with Ubuntu. The process is remarkably simple. Download Ubuntu server and launch the server install process. Upon boot, you will see an option from the main install screen to install the server as a Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud (UEC) server either as a cluster controller or as a node. You will need one of each to get started. Once up and running, you can download images from the management site (Figure 12) or begin creating your own images that match your cloud needs. The cloud you are deploying actually is a re-branded version of the open-source cloud software Eucalyptus. Management is accomplished via command-line or GUI-based tools like hybridfox (Figure 13), a Firefox add-in that runs like a modified version of Amazon's Elasticfox management utility.
Many other areas of the enterprise are ripe for Linux penetration. The ones presented here represent some of the best chances for Linux adoption in the vast majority of enterprises. I encourage you to download and test these options to see how beneficial they can be to your business. Linux's future development, its very survival, rests in its ability to stake a claim in the business computing market, and the only way to do that is by constantly challenging the status quo with viable, cost-saving alternatives. Hopefully, I've given you some of those alternatives here.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment
On Demand
One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

American International Industries Hosts Vietnamese-Focused Nail Training Event
A.I.I. hosted a three-day intensive training event to commemorate Tippi Hedren's contributions to the nail industry.
Forty years ago, 20 women made history by becoming the first Vietnamese nail technicians in the U.S. with the help of actress and model Tippi Hedren. Hedren met the women – mostly wives of high ranking military officials – through her volunteer work at the Hope Valley refugee camp near Sacramento. With the assistance of her personal manicurist and a local beauty school, Hedren helped "The First 20" graduate and find work in Southern California. Since 1975, the number of Vietnamese nail technicians has grown to dominate the U.S. and especially the Southern California area with a staggering 80% of licensed nail techs in the southland being of Vietnamese descent. To commemorate this historical event, American International Industries (A.I.I.) hosted what is being called "The Second 20 (plus 3)," a three-day intensive training for three of the Southern California manufacturer's top nail brands; ibd, EzFlow and SuperNail.
The first class of the special AEC Training hosted by A.I.I.
A.I.I. has long been committed to developing the next generation of talent in the growing nail industry, hosting educational seminars and classes around the world. July 26-29, 2015, the manufacturer and worldwide distributor further supported that commitment by hosting an A.I.I. Educational Consultant (AEC) Training specifically for the Vietnamese nail professional community. Spearheaded by A.I.I. Key Account Manager Kelvin St. Pham, A.I.I. identified 23 up-and-coming as well as established Vietnamese nail professionals from around the country to attend the three-day intensive training with the expectations that the AECs will be able to provide product knowledge and support to the community. Attendees underwent extensive training specifically focused on EzFlow Acrylics System, ibd Hard Gels and Just Gel Polish, and the overall SuperNail line. The classes covered product knowledge, chemistry, technique and presentation skills. Classes were led by A.I.I.'s Lead Educators Terry Burciaga, Teresa Hamm, Vicki Ornellas and Sreynin Peng.
Ms. Thuan Le, one of the first 20 licensed Vietnamese manicurists in the U.S. with AEC trainees Nhi Le and Amanda Pham.
To mark the end of training, the new AEC's showcased their talent with a nail art competition on Wednesday, July 29th. The artists competed in three categories that included EzFlow acrylics with a summer theme, ibd gel negative space design, and a mixed media design that represented their hometown using a combination of the three brands' products. The competition was attended by special guest Ms. Thuan Le, one of the original 20 Vietnamese manicurists, who served as a Competition judge.

Trainees proudly acknowledged their role as the next generation of Vietnamese nail stylists, bonding during the recruitment period via social media and over late night study sessions following each day's class. Before the last session of the training came to a close, AEC Sean Phan gave special thanks on behalf of the entire class to A.I.I. for the opportunity to participate. The group, via Phan, also gave thanks to Ms. Le for the road she and the other members of "The First 20" paved so they could have the opportunities they do 40 years later. "You (Le) are the Godmother of the Vietnamese nail industry and you will always be in our hearts," said Phan.

Yeung was presented with the Best Global Education Team in a Continent (Asia) and Highest Sales Increase for a Continent (Asia) awards during the Consultant Conference Meeting.
Anthony Cuccio, founder of Cuccio International, presented two awards last month during the Consultant Conference Meeting to recognize outstanding sales and education. Both were awarded to Jacqueline Yeung, the brand's business development director for Asia, for her dedicated and effective efforts.
Best Global Education Team in a Continent (Asia) and Highest Sales Increase for a Continent (Asia) were presented to Yeung at the corporate headquarters on July 8. This is Yeung's second time being recognized for Highest Sales Increase, as she won the award last year.
Said Yeung, "Even though it's not my first time winning, I am very excited about these awards. I have been with the company since 2008, so that's seven complete years being trained by Mr. Cuccio. He is the greatest mentor that I have ever had in my life. Although it took me few years to learn how to help our Asian distributors build their business and education teams, everything is great now! Being rewarded is something that encourages me to keep the hard work going. These awards are not only for me but for all of my Cuccio Asia family. I am thankful for Mr. Cuccio; He always gives me the best guidance on how to be my very best."

Spa News: Nailcare Academy Launches Online Footcare Nail Technician Program
The new program will provide technicians with the advanced information needed for working successfully with a physician or podiatrist.
Nailcare Academy, home of the Advanced Nail Technician Program, recently announced their new online Footcare Nail Technician Program (FNT), a certificate program that will allow nail technicians to work in a medical setting. The program also contains important information for the salon-based Advanced Nail Technician Program graduate who wishes to develop a solid referral relationship with a physician or just wants advanced education to enhance his or her background.
The FNT Program doesn't shy away from the realities today's nail technicians face, and instructs students of the program in how to counter the negatives and enhance the positives on a day-to-day basis. Upon completing the ten modules and passing the exam, graduates will obtain a certification as a Certified Footcare Nail Technician (CFNT) - no internship is required. "However, if technicians wish to pursue working in the medical field, we highly recommend they pursue the additional Internship," says Karen Hodges, co-owner of Nailcare Academy. "The internship is 40 hours in a medical office and at the end, the technician receives the Nailcare Academy Aseptic Footcare Specialist Internship Certificate (CAFS) to demonstrate to the patients and physicians their qualifications to work on chronically ill persons."
The FNT Program is structured so that nail technicians who never intended to work in a medical office or who could not find an internship can still advanced training and certification to verify their level of knowledge to their clients. "It is very important to us to provide this verification for these technicians who worked hard to gain new knowledge," says Janet McCormick, co-owner of Nailcare Academy.
"Certificates that visibly verify advanced education to clients are great tools to market higher knowledge and advanced skills to potential new clients," says McCormick. "Being positively different – in this case, being trained to perform safe services on skeptical clients and chronically ill clients – can mean a much higher level of success for these technicians." Times have changed, McCormick adds. "Just being a good nail artist is not enough to set a nail technician or salon apart from the crowd of competing low-cost salons. This training takes their income to new and higher levels."

Spa News: KEVIN.MURPHY & Green Circle Salons Support Salon and Spa Sustainability
Haircare brand KEVIN.MURPHY is partnering with sustainability leader Green Circle Salons to help salons and spa reduce their environmental impact through sustainable waste management.
KEVIN.MURPHY, an industry haircare leader, has partnered with Green Circle Salons, an organization that provides sustainable waste management for salons and spas, in order to help reduce the overall environmental impact of beauty businesses. Together, KEVIN.MURPHY and Green Circle Salons will teach beauty professionals and salon owners methods for becoming more sustainable, healthy, and profitable.
"It was love at first sight, literally – the first slide of Green Circle's presentation discussed leaving no waste behind," said KEVIN.MURPHY stylist and founder Kevin Murphy. "With unique initiatives like using hair to help clean up oil spills and turning color tubes and color waste into clean energy, Green Circle truly exemplifies our brand's key messaging of 'the choices we make' and how they affect the environment."
Green Circle, a collection of salons that send everyday byproducts like hair clippings, aluminum foils, color tubes and applicators for reuse and recycling, diverted more than 350,000 pounds of waste from landfills and waterways in 2014 alone. The Green Circle Salons program is exclusively dedicated to the salon/spa industry and features a fourfold strategy: be green, build revenue, save money, gain clients. "At Green Circle Salons, our mission is to create a sustainable beauty industry by 2020, so we could not be happier about partnering with KEVIN.MURPHY," says Shane Price, CEO and Founder of Green Circle Salons.
Through the partnership, KEVIN.MURPHY will work with salons and their stylists to show how commitment combined with minimal effort can have a huge effect on the industry as a whole. Participating salons can expect to achieve 85%-95% waste diversion overnight.
"What do you do when a company like Green Circle Salons approaches you, offering to help your salon and customers do their part to contribute to a sustainable beauty industry?" says Rob Malone, co-owner of Oiseau Salon. "You say, 'Where do I sign?' The program allows us to help lower our impact on the environment and take direct responsibility for how much of a footprint we leave behind."
KEVIN.MURPHY offers products that are both of the highest natural quality and environmentally ethical. When searching the world for ingredients, the brand looks for companies using micro-cultivation, organic growing practices or ecologically-sound wild harvesting techniques to ensure that the KEVIN.MURPHY range meets these standards.

Spa News: July 24th is National Tequila Day, but Beware of "Lime Disease"
Dermatologist Dr. Howard Steinman warns margarita-lovers of potential skin discoloration caused by chemical reaction between lime and sunlight.
July 24th is National Tequila Day, and while many people may choose to celebrate with a margarita, Dr. Howard Steinman, a dermatologist with DermOne Dermatology Centers, has a sour warning if sipped outside - skin discoloration that some are dubbing "Lime Disease," correctly called Phytophotodermatitis by doctors.
Phytophotodermatitis is an inflammation of the skin caused by a chemical reaction between photosensitizing compounds found in certain plants and foods – especially limes – and exposure to sunlight. Results can be a red, sometimes blistering, skin eruption that often causes strangely-shaped streaks and can even look like a sunburn. The rash can then turn dark brown which can last for months if not treated.
Dr. Steinman explains, "It is common to see cases of lime-causing rashes during the summer season. I've seen cases of skin discoloration on wrists, face, neck and chests from tequila shots, where the drinkers squeezed limes while outside, and the juice dribbled on their skin. It is also seen in children and adults who pick fresh limes and then make lime juice. Because this is a reaction from the lime juice coming in contact with the skin during sun exposure, it can often leave unique patterns unlike rashes or a typical sunburn."
The best prevention is not to cut or squeeze limes while making or drinking margaritas and other lime-ingredient beverages in the sun. Immediately washing hands and body parts that had direct contact with the limes can also prevent the rash. Sunscreen is not a preventative solution for this "Lime Disease" although proper usage of sunscreen is always encouraged to help prevent skin cancer.
Visit a board-certified dermatologist if you have handled limes in the sun and are experiencing Phytophotodermatitis symptoms. Treatment of the initial rash is with cortisone-based creams and antihistamine medications. The brown discoloration can be treated with sun protection, fading creams and camouflage makeup.
Spa News: GSN Announces Simon Robinson as Keynote Speaker at GSN Congress
Global sustainability thought leader Simon Robinson will address industry leaders at this year's Green Spa Network Congress.
The Green Spa Network (GSN) has announced that Simon Robinson, a leader in global sustainability, will serve as a keynote speaker at this year's 8th annual GSN Congress, to be held September 26-30, 2015 at Tenaya Lodge, CA. With the theme of "Positive Change" in mind, the 2015 Congress will aim to inspire spa owners and industry professionals to explore new territory and make a difference in their businesses, communities, and the world. As one of this year's speakers, Robinson will teach attendees about sustainability, wellness and organizational transformation.
Alongside such colleagues as Fritjof Capra and Gunther Sonnenfeld, Robinson has acted as a world leader in sustainable thinking with a deep respect for the role that personal vitality plays in supporting a vital planet. Robinson, along with his wife Maria Moraes Robinson, co-authored the award-winning book, Holonomics, Business Where People and Planet Matter, and have been supporting groups across the globe to catalyze positive change towards a sustainable future.
"What I am really looking forward to is the fact that this congress brings together so many people from absolutely every part of the spa industry," says Robinson. "There are some really exciting ways in which we spas can evolve, and which I have been discussing with the network already, but of course these seeds will grow and flourish once we start to go deep into the envisioning process with each and every participant."
Robinson's recent international speaking engagements include TEDx, Sustainable Brands, London & San Diego, the GSM World Congress, Cannes, Nokia World Congress, Mobile Internet & Strategy Execution Summit.

Spa News: Cuccio Colour Hosts Training Session in Hong Kong
The first training in 10 years, the educational event trained existing Hong Kong educators on Cuccio's latest LED gel technology.
On June 16, 2015, Cuccio Colour held a training session in Hong Kong under the instruction of Jacqueline Yeung, business development director for Asia. The first training session in ten years, the educational event was attended by 30 existing educators who were introduced to the T3 LED Controlled Leveling Gel, Veneer Flat Art Painting, Veneer 3D Design Technique as well as given advice on how to choose the best LED Lamp and how to make more money with these products in salon services.
Says Yeung, "Hong Kong is one of the fastest lifestyle cities in the world, similar to New York, Singapore, and Tokyo. People in Hong Kong tend to want things fast and faster. In the past 10 years, most people in the nail industry are rushing to make money, and they only focus on making money everyday; you can see that there aren't any classes that have more than 15 people because they don't want to spend their time for something that they might not be able to use in their salon work. We are so glad that we had 30 people join us at this training session, as this is our first step to establish our education system in Hong Kong. The reason why this group can be successful is because most of the big brands like OPI and Essie have been sold. Cuccio is committed to working only with professionals, and they know that we are all salon-centered when we invented our products. Secondly, when our Exclusive Distributor Nailtech Professional HK Limited set up this session with me, we decided to focus on what they need: salon useful information and technique. These are the reasons why we are successful, of course, we all have faith in our mind. Mr. Cuccio always tells us, "Why not? You never try, you never know!", so we tried and it turned out great! This is the most important encouragement that we have and we did it."
Says Tony Cuccio, ""Our LED gel is the hottest product out there so we wanted to be sure [our educators] were all trained on the latest technology. We hope they took away complete understanding of the new product, that they know how to work with it and that they take advantage of a nail that can be made quickly and dries in 55 seconds."

Re: The mortgage pre-approv
al process
Hi Shane,
I am currently in the process of trying to buy a home and went to a mortgage broker who pulled my cr's and said there was no score available. (Credco I believe was what the inquiry listed as). I have paid everything in cash for the past 12 years after getting into some financial troubles but new I would need to establish some credit so opened a credit card with cap 1 back in Jan. It has now been reported for a month so the broker did a re-pull but it's still not showing a score even though I have a score with all 3 bureaus. The broker doesn't seem to have any experience in this situation and I have no clue what else I can do to increase my score and my ability to obtain a loan. I owned a home about 14 years ago but of course all of this has dropped off of my reports. The broker mentioned looking at rental history, utilities, etc. but I rent a room so none of that is in my name.

WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) — The Williston Police Department on Monday identified two people shot Saturday, calling one incident domestic violence and the second an apparent suicide. But authorities have not drawn a connection between the two Saturday incidents near the city's downtown. In a statement released Monday, police said officers responded around noon Saturday to a call about shots fired. The statement described the shooting as domestic violence. On the scene, police and paramedics treated 27-year-old Tiffany Foster for three nonfatal gunshot wounds before she was transported to a medical facility. From the first crime scene, "investigations led" officers to a nearby residence where they heard a single gunshot. Inside, they found the body of 41-year-old Keith Foster, who had suffered what was believed to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The statement did not say whether or how the Fosters might be related. While police have not publicly acknowledged any suspects or arrests in the shootings, on Saturday, Police Detective Dave Peterson told The Associated Press that "everything is safe and under control." Police said they are continuing to investigate.

I don't take my position on any issue lightly. Â Especially for one who regularly expresses opinions on political and moral issues, I believe it behooves us to seriously research and consider all the facts and cornerstone moral principles before taking a position on an issue. Â I expect as much from those who seek to serve in public office. Â Sadly, it appears many politicians consider principles to be disposable things that can be discarded as soon as they are deemed inconvenient.
Senator Rob Portman became the most prominent Republican lawmaker to back gay rights when he reversed his opposition to same-sex marriage on Friday, two years after his son told him he was gay.
In a newspaper opinion piece on Friday, shortly before the Supreme Court is to hear arguments in two key cases on the issue, the Ohio senator said he now supports gay marriage.
"I have come to believe that if two people are prepared to make a lifetime commitment to love and care for each other in good times and in bad, the government shouldn't deny them the opportunity to get married," Portman wrote in an op-ed piece in Ohio's Columbus Dispatch.
"That isn't how I've always felt. As a Congressman, and more recently as a Senator, I opposed marriage for same-sex couples. Then, something happened that led me to think through my position in a much deeper way."
Portman's 21-year-old son, Will, told the senator and his wife in February 2011 that he was gay and had been "since he could remember."
As a parent, I understand how love for one's children can sometimes tempt us to blind ourselves to truths we'd rather not face. Â But it's a temptation we must not yield to. Â Truth, right and wrong are not dependent on our feelings or circumstances.
Does that mean Portman should stop loving his son?  Absolutely not!  He should love Him unconditionally, no matter what mistakes he makes or what he's struggling with.  But loving a child doesn't mean redefining an entire bedrock societal institution for their sake.  It means embracing them  for who they are, responding in grace to what they do, and remembering that all of us are sinners in need of a savior, whether gay or straight.
Mollie Hemingway poses the question at Ricochet:
Leaving apart the question of whether marriage law should be changed, this strikes me as a problematic approach. I mean, marriage law should be changed or it shouldn't be changed — but it shouldn't hinge on the sexual attractions of one senator's son, should it?
What if a conservative senator said, "I'm reversing my views on whether abortion should be legal because my daughter got pregnant and wished she weren't."
One of the fascinating things about society today is that personal experience trumps everything else in argumentation. Very few people seem to care about fundamental truths and principles while everyone seems to care about personal experience and emotion. It's the Oprahfication of political philosophy.
Should a conservative determine good policy this way?
Contributor "Kipling" challenges Portman's faulty logic at Red State:
To state it bluntly, Senator Portman, Christianity, the Word of God, and the proper view of homosexuality has nothing to do with you or your changing perspective. Â It has everything to do with the unchanging Word of God. Â Your attempt to cloak your opinion by distorting the Word of God is not only offensive but blasphemous. Â I encourage you to open your Bible and read what it says about false teachers and those who add to or take away from the Word of God.
I understand that your son is a homosexual.  As a Christian you are called to love him but you cannot condone his sin and encourage others to do the same.  Principles are higher than our individual circumstances.  Principles do not change because the circumstances  in our lives change.
He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. Â And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. Â And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. Â He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it. Â (Matthew 10:37-39)
Condoning the sin of homosexuality will not help your son to lead a "happy, meaningful†life.  He cannot lead such a life in direct opposition to the Word of the Lord.  You have taken the easy path and it will only lead to sin and death, error, and worse.
My prayers are with you and your family but Christians must not let your attempt to pervert the Word of God to fit your own personal life go unchallenged.
Do you know what you believe, and why? Â Have you actually thought through your position on certain issues, taking into consideration all the facts and core values before taking a position?
