It's not me, it's YOU. You make me feel like a ghost girl.
I used to watch my mommy, she was so pretty, and I was waiting to be picked up and have my hair brushed and braided - the little ghost girl that no one noticed with ratty hair and a dirty face. I could scratch my face into ribbons and people would look away and I'd still be invisible - it wouldn't matter.
I accidentally took a double dose of Topamax yesterday and maybe it's affecting me today. Maybe Fuckass fucking ex-boyfriend is right and I'm just an attention whore. Maybe I really am invisible, or retarded, or psychotic, or dead. Who the fuck am I to expect validation of my existence?
Crossposted in my main journal earlier today, but I decided it was more appropriate here. I'm not as depressed anymore, but sometimes that feeling gets so bad I can't tell if I'm real anymore. The emotional neglect was so much worse than the physical abuse.

FIREFIGHTERS have warned about the dangers of using washing machines and dryers overnight following a house fire in Todmorden.
Fire crews were called to a house on Longfield Road at 11.15pm on Thursday, December 6, where a fire had broken out in a clothes dryer machine.
The owner of the house had managed to largely put out the fire with a small extinguisher.
His actions stopped the fire spreading and were praised by watch commander Carl Fielden.
He said: "We don't particularly want people to tackle fires unless they are trained to do so as it can be dangerous. But his actions certainly helped the situation.
"It was a dry powder extinguisher. Obviously with it being an electrical fire, to use water would have been dangerous."
He also warned against using washing machines or dryers overnight. "People need to be careful when they are doing their drying or washing at night," he said.
"Obviously there are heating elements in appliances.
"Try to use them during the day time when you are nearby."

I was at the event in Garland, Texas that was attacked by two Muslim men.
That was in the month of May.
Now we have four USMC members dead – courtesy of the Religion of Peace.
What will we do when there is an attack every single week?
Yep. What will we do when there is a weekly attack on U.S. soil?
The Last English Prince is not a slave of Allah.
Nor will I ever bow the knee to a War God bent on the destruction of my nation and her principles of liberty.
Read the words of Jesus Christ.
Compare them to the "revelation" given to a man named Muhammad.
With us, you will be entirely safe.
With them? Read what the revelation tells the Believers.
Beleager, slaughter, strike the neck, enslave, extort, humiliate….
I am a Christian.
I stake my life on the words of Jesus Christ.
And I will never harm you.
The cure for Islam?
It is Christianity.

Phokians and Seleucids
The terrain situation in this game was UGLY for the Seleucids. I initially tried to run my cavalry around the hill on the left, apparently not learning from a previous mistake. Ryan got an Auxilia on the hill, so I wasted time and PIPs circling back. Aside from that trick, I decided to attack right into the kill zone: the artillery elements are centered on the road. I launched the Scythed Chariot at the Spear General and almost won the dice roll...almost.
|Seleucids advance up the Pass
Deciding to stick to my plan of killing the General, I managed to do so with a Cavalry, after a tight maneuver around a Psiloi's ZOC. My Cav was subsequently killed. The stone throwers picked off a Pike as I advanced.
|Pikes under fire
Ryan really limited my options with his creative deployments. The combined effect of the Spear ZOCs and the Ax/Ps ZOCs from bad going gave me few good options. My attempt to move the Pikes out of the fire zone resulted in a Psiloi, with a toe in bad going, killing another Pike. Another artillery shot took out element number four - another Pike.
|Few Good Choices (but a nice shot of Jeff's Phokian shield designs)
The final loss count: Phokians - 1 Seleucids - 5 (including 1 SCh). I have included a shot of the final battlefield situation. My Elephant is doing a wonderful job grazing and guarding the camp.
|End Game
I was so busy trying to solve the terrain nightmare facing me that I forgot to take photo's of Ian and Jeff's game. I managed one shot. This is unfortunate; it was a good, close game with a few twists. Jeff managed to lose his General early and still hang on for the win, killing Ian's General in the process.
|Arabs fight the Kapps
Ian posted his account on a ROK Wargaming Group, so I will quote his version of history:
"My light horse attempted an assassination again getting around the flank of his cav, however when this failed I lost them both. I countered slamming my general into the flank of his and killing him....and tried to jump his cav and light horse with my cav general
and supporting cav. This was probably a mistake and I would have been better
off pulling out as he was going to be double pipped on command. My over
aggressiveness cost me and my army folded."
Final Losses: Arabs -1 (Gen) Kappadokians - 4 (including Gen)
We all had fun, and I learned a lot about DBA tactics. Ryan left motivated to get his own army. He was first thinking about a blade heavy force, but he is now looking at army lists that feature a lot of cavalry with either blade or spear for foot support. Thanks again to Jeff for organizing this session. We plan to meet again in January. I hope that the battle reports are an enjoyable read.

All the English taught in Spain is British English, which I'm learning is very different from what is spoken in the States. The materials for my students are made from Oxford University, so all the listening activities have very strong accents. Poor kids. Whenever I read the activities and then we listen to it on the CD, words are not pronounced the same. I'm finding myself trying to adjust the things I say so it'll match their books. I'll probably come home with some really strange sayings. Here are a few examples:
British version = American version
-"Have you got any...?"= "Do you have any...?"
-"Can I go to the toliet?" = "Can I go to the bathroom?"
-The only answer to the question, "How are you?" is "I'm fine, thanks." Never "Good", or "Well", or "Great", or anything else. Only "fine".
-rubber = eraser
-bin = trashcan
-lift = elevator
-patio = playground
-pavement = sidewalk
-lorry = truck
-timetables = schedule
-trousers = pants
-biscuits = cookies
-spellings: favourite and colour
Even though I don't think I have much of an accent, I am from the South and it's harder for the students to understand my instructions than their professors who were taught British Spanish. Plus, I have to try really really really hard not to use 'yall'. :)
In 2011 I moved to Madrid, Spain. I was working in the capital city and studying a Master degree in Spanish. Along the way I tasted local cuisine, attended cultural festivals, traveled the European continent, became a public transport expert, met a ton of international characters, learned to speak a new language, and laughed more than I thought possible at the life of a blonde expat in Spain. And most excitingly of all, I fell for a Spaniard, got married, and moved back abroad to England.

Puente de Octubre
Spaniards have several breaks throughout the year called "Puentes" (bridges). This one was the Puente de Octubre because we had the last days of October off. My friends, Caitlin, Angela, Amanda and I went to Northern Spain for the long weekend and we lucked out! Not only did we have a great trip, the weather was nice! We flew out of Madrid at 6am Friday morning and arrived to the sleepy town of Santander. This was a much needed break from the craziness of Madrid. We walked along the water and to the vacation house of the Spanish royalty. Along the way, we saw a mini-zoo with penguins and seals! That evening was cool and Caitlin and I tried our first roasted chestnuts. Our German roommate Angela couldn't believe we hadn't had them before! They're in our Christmas songs!
Santander: Dreaming we lived here...
Penguins in Spain? Who knew?
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire....in Santander.
The following morning we took a 1 hour bus ride to Bilbao. I won't write too much about Bilbao because we spent most of our time wandering lost. We did make it to the Guggenheim, so check on the list for being cultured! (although modern art is really not my thing.) Here are a few shots...
Conquering Europe, one city at a time: Bilbao.
G-Heim. Holler.
Huge artsy spider in front of the museum.
Our final destination was San Sebastián. We loved this city! Famous for its surfing, we hiked to the top of Monte Urgull to get some incredible views of the beaches. That night we went out for "pinchos", the small servings of meat or fish on top of bread slices. Each one costs about a euro and so you go from bar to bar, trying one or two at each place. I like to call this "pincho hopping." Check it out:

Pinchos galore!

Life of Pi is an upcoming 3D adventure film based on the 2001 novel of the same name by Yann Martel.[2] The film is directed by Ang Lee based on an adapted screenplay by David Magee and Martin Solibakke. Suraj Sharma will play Pi. Life of Pi is scheduled to be released on November 21, 2012.
Pi is a 16-year-old boy who is the only person to survive the sinking of a freighter. He finds himself on a lifeboat with an orangutan, hyena, a wounded zebra, and a Bengal tiger.
- Suraj Sharma as Piscine Molitor "Pi" Patel
- Ayush Tandon as young Pi
- Gautam Belur as 5-year-old Pi
- Tabu as Pi's mother
- Adil Hussain as Pi's father
- Irrfan Khan as the adult Piscine Molitor "Pi" Patel
- Gerard Depardieu as The Chef
- Rafe Spall as Yann Martel, replacing Tobey Maguire late in production due to Lee's desire to have an entirely international cast
- Shravanthi Sainath as Pi's girlfriend
- Andrea de Stefano as The Priest
- Ayan Khan as Pi's younger brother
- Vibish Sivakumar as Ravi Patel
In this 3D feature based on Yann Martel's award-winning novel, Ang Lee tells the story of a boy trapped at sea on a small boat with a Bengal tiger. It's hard to imagine how such a film would even be possible to make without the aid of state-of-the-art visual effects, and that's reportedly exactly what Lee delivers. After its debut at last month's New York Film Festival, critics praised Pi's "game-changing use of 3D" as the main reason why the picture is a serious contender in the Visual Effects category at next year's Oscars. Rhythm & Hues Studio, which has won that very award twice before for their work on 1998's Babe and 2006's The Golden Compass, would be wise to start setting aside some room on their trophy shelf.

Do you have anger issues? Are you suffering with unwanted belly fat?
Or maybe you have been told you can't have babies due to cysts on your ovaries!
All this is distressing but You can turn it around...
Having too much testosterone as a woman can be a curse,
I can show you how to turn it into your secret weapon.
The only hitch is, you need to know how and when to turn it on and turn it off.
Read on....
my name is Sam and I discovered years ago that I had an oversupply of the male hormone testosterone.
It actually didn't come to me in a light bulb moment, it came to me after I walked out on my (then) husband after a dinner party one night and after feeling a rage inside me that really scared the pants off me.
It scared me because I didn't see it coming, I had no idea what triggered it and when I went to get help NO ONE COULD HELP ME!
It all started on a Friday night a week or two out from Christmas in 2004.
Dinner parties and all that jazz
I had organised a dinner party with seven couples and it was themed "Christmas".
At the time I had two children aged 4 years old and 10 months old. I was running around as usual and wanted everyone to have a fantastic night and experience.
People started arriving at the house and I started filling their flutes with champagne. It was going to be a FUN night (so I thought)....
I decided to cook a ham, baked vegetables and an exotic dessert all of which I had never tried before.
After an hour, everyone was getting merry and I found myself stuffing the turkey.
"That" turning point...
The next few minutes were to change the course of my life for ever...
At the point that I had my hand firmly planted inside the turkey my ten month old crawled past and had clearly filled her nappy, which proceeded to fill the room with its distinct smell.
It rose up above the beautiful smells coming from the kitchen and I knew it needed attention.
What was about to happen over the next few minutes was to change the course of my life.
I called out to my "then" husband who was drinking some beer with our mates by the spa, ".. can you change M's nappy?"
He swiftly replied "no"
It was then I felt it.
It was like a tsunami threw my heart.
I felt enraged, defaced and belittled all at once.
I felt angry.
But it got worse.
After I realised he wasn't going to help me two of our male mates came into the kitchen and bailed me up.
They backed me into the corner and said "Sammy when you talk like that you sound like a bitch."
The words ripped my heart out.
Here I was, a successful business woman being told by two of my closest friends that I was a bitch!
I left the marriage 16 days later. Some from shame, some from confusion.
My journey to understand hormones
To say I was confused and lost is an understatement. I went to doctors, read books, looked on-line and couldn't find any information that was useful.
My doctor offered me anti depressants but I didn't feel depressed.
I saw reiki therapists, counsellors, more doctors and on it went but no one could explain the rage I felt and if it would come back again.
A few things started to happen a few months into my single parent life.
I noticed that the more I felt under threat the angrier I became.
This lead me to do a saliva hormone test and what I found was mind blowing.
Discovering I had too much testosterone
I discovered my male hormone, testosterone, was through the roof.
This explained a lot!
It explained why I struggled to:
- lose belly fat
- had pesty pimples
- felt irritable and had a short fuse
- struggled to relax
- and a few years later - why I had whiskers on my chin (Shhh I know, ugly).
Putting together the pieces
I continued to find out more about testosterone in women and discovered there wasn't much researched nor written about it. I found a Professor Dabbs in the USA had done some studies on female in-mates and they all had high testosterone but there wasn't much information for day-to-day women about what increases it and how to control it.
I started to ask my clients if they too felt irritable at times and look for signs of high testosterone in them too.
Interestingly once I started checking saliva levels of my clients, I discovered many women did have high testosterone levels.
That's when I decided to write a book.
That book is called Beauty & the Beast Within and has been a number #1 best seller in Australia.
I have also been interviewed on national TV (Sunrise, Today, Today Tonight) multiple times about my findings and it has lead me to be a recognised expert in the area of testosterone in women world wide.
What Symptoms can you have with high testosterone?
Having high testosterone as a woman can lead to all sorts of things and these are only some of the following:
- irritability
- short fuse
- anger
- belly fat
- poly cystic ovary syndrome
- endometriosis
- excessive facial or body hair (fore arms)
- male pattern baldness
- acne
- infertility
- skipped or no periods
- fat deposit on the top of you back
Lean women can have high testosterone which made me start to question who and why we get it. This is what I found..
Women at Risk of increasing their testosterone
I have studies and researched this area now for over twelve years. I have presented posters at conferences, been on panels and been interviewed. I still run a busy clinic and this is what I have found with women and why our testosterone goes up:
- If we feel under threat it goes up
- If we feel everything relies on us , it goes up
- If we are running late, not meeting deadlines, it goes up.
Testosterone in women also goes up if we:
- Eat too many sugary foods or carbohydrates
- Drink to much alcohol especially without eating
- Work in male dominated environments
- Do masculine activities
- Participate in competitive sport.
Testosterone goes up if we are deficient in the following nutrients:
- Chromium
- Inositol
- Magnesium
- Zinc
It can and will go up!
So is it all bad news?
Having high testosterone as a woman certainly can present issues and problems. It can be a deal breaker if you are trying to have children and currently is the leading cause of infertility in Australian women.
It can also be a deal breaker in relationships if you find you are too feisty and can't relax (guys seem to like being the men and struggle when we try to be... understandably).
AND it is a hindrance if you want a flat tummy, want to have clear skin without pimples and don't wish to pluck whiskers out of your chin every day. But is it all bad news?
I am happy to say there are some GOOD things about having high testosterone as a woman.
These include but not limited to and not always experienced:
- Strong sex drive
- Good muscle mass
- Competitive spirit
- Ability to fight and stick up for self.
So is high testosterone a bad thing?
Absolutely if you are trying to:
- Have a baby
- Want to have a balanced relationship
- Want to relax and feel rested
- Want to feel connected and happy
How can you manage the see-saw of high testosterone levels?
As I have mentioned there are pros and cons about having high testosterone.
Personally it has meant I have been able to cope with life's curl balls and feel a survivor. I have however had to learn how to switch it off, especially when I want to show my softer, more feminine side. this is not easy, and it takes practice.
The best introduction I can offer you to this balance is my book and solutions kit.
Beauty and the Beast Within covers what we have already discussed and more.
The book discusses the four tier approach you will need to employ to manage this. It helps you:
- Reverse your high testosterone levels without pharmaceuticals
- Control unwanted facial hair and avoid acne
- Discover why it is OK to feel stressed and angry from time to time
- How to lower testosterone in seconds!
REVIEWS about Beauty & the Beast Within
"Fertility Experts recommend Sam's Book"
"During this time I have learned to listen to women and their inner most issues. I took great interest in reading Sam's latest book. It helps explain why women are feeling the way they do. Often stress, food, lifestyle choices are not discussed when seeing a doctor, and this book explains why these things are necessary if hormone imbalances are to be amended. Sam's holistic approach is important when dealing with hormone issues, especially Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome and Infertility. You will find this book insightful, relevant and practical in helping you find hormone happiness."
Dr. Andrew Davidson, FRANZCOG. Gynaecologist and Fertility Specialist Clinical Director, CFC-Gold Coast IVF Clinic. Medical Director, StemLife Pty. Ltd. Director, GD Data Pty. Ltd.
"Have the baby you dream about"
"Kat was told she was infertile due to high testosterone levels. I am definitely more feminine and less aggressive and I enjoy it. I wish I had realised earlier in my life that something was not quite right, but I am happy to be on the right track now and enjoy sharing my story to raise the awareness that there is options and answers out there, you just need to look a little. And our result for searching is our beautiful baby boy, the result of much hard work and commitment.....but nobody can doubt he is worth it."

Worldwide International Game Previews of the World: 10 April 2013
by J.R.
WWIGPOTW is a look at the day's Conference III games for III Communication readers from around the world. Today, with just one game on the schedule we welcome our visitors from one of the world's smallest countries: Andorra.
Avalanche at Ducks, 9 PM/8 PM Mountain (Allau contra Ànecs, 4 AM)
Records: Avalanche (12-22-5, 29 points, 5th in Northwest, 7th in Conference III); Ducks (27-8-5, 59 points, 1st in Pacific)
Last Time They Met: Corey Perry scored in hores extraordinàries to give the Ducks a 4-3 win February 24 in Comte d'Taronja.
Last 10: Colorado 1-8-1; Anaheim 5-4-1
Did You Know? Because of its almost exclusively mountainous terrain, Andorra is proactive in avalanche control methods. And if you are the President of France, you can't duck your responsibility as Prince of Andorra. Indeed, France's president is the only monarch on earth elected by common citizens, though not the citizens of the country of which he is monarch. He shares his duties with the Spanish Bishop of Urgell. Originally, Andorra was controlled by the Count of Urgell, but he sold it to the Bishop. A later count wanted to reclaim Andorra, so the Bishop hollered at his boy the Lord of Caboet for help and the two signed an agreement. THEN, the Lord of Caboet's daughter married the French Count of Foix and they ruled Andorra together (with the Bishop) and THEN their kid, as Count of Foix took over that half of Andorra's co-throne. Eventually, the title passed from the Count of Foix to the King of Navarre and THEN Navarre's Henry III became Henry IV of France. Still with me? As we all know from Les Miserables, there was a nasty revolution in France and then there was Napoleon and now they don't have a king or an emperor, they have a President as head of state and now that dude is Prince of Andorra with the Bishop from 15 sentences ago. Can't duck it. There's the joke. Also, they speak a form of Catalan and that's where all the fancy words are coming from today.
Keep An Ull On: If any members of the Avalanche leave during intermission to start their Las Vegas vacances.
What They're Saying: "Andorra is one of only two countries that have reached 50 per cent of women in parliament," Mr. Ban said in his address to the Parliament. "The equal participation of women and men in political decision-making is fundamental for genuine democracy and gender empowerment.
"I thank you for your leadership and encourage Andorra to continue to promote women's political participation not just in your country but, through your example, around the world."
Mr. Ban said his message was one of gratitude, inspiration and support for the lawmakers of the country, who have surpassed the goal established at the 1995 Beijing conference on women, which recommended that every parliament in the world have at least 30 per cent women.
"The world will never reach 100 per cent of its potential if we exclude 50 per cent of its people," he said. — "During visit, Ban lauds Andorra's success in empowering women" from United Nation News Centre.

It's all the same...
Every year about this time, the same old tired argument comes up. What's the difference between dressing and stuffing??
People, listen to me carefully - there.is.no.difference. Look it up in your trusty dictionary, aka a reliable source - the words are used interchangeably. Dressing doesn't become stuffing because you cook it in the bird and stuffing doesn't become dressing because you cook it in a dish next to the bird.
According to the editors of Cooking Light, (who I'm more apt to listen to than your mother's cousin's brother-in-law, who's a chef at Le Cordon Bleu...)
"...what you call it depends more on where you live than how the dish is prepared."
"Stuffing" can be stuffed into the bird or baked alongside it in a separate dish, and the same holds true for the term "dressing," they write. "In the southern and eastern United States, people generally call it 'dressing,' a term that came about during the 19th century. Elsewhere, it's referred to as 'stuffing."'
Stuffing is dressing and dressing is stuffing... and that's the truth. (Even though I'm from the eastern United States and we always called it stuffing!) ;)

The Beauty Of The Landscape..
(My accountant Bob and me.. Photo courtesy of Mary Crane, Bobs wife)
For some reason each time I visit Canada, it always reminds me of the 60's or 70's..
Like the US, but like I remember it as a little girl..
There's just something about it that takes me back to a time...
Sometimes it reminds me of France a little.. Hearing people speaking french in the
French-Canadian regions..
Sometimes it even reminds me of Australia with the Provinces and all that.. But
mostly it reminds me of the US about 30 years ago..
Obviously, it is a lot like the United States because of the close proximity to us
and the ability to observe, learn, and borrow so easily from one another.. Being our
neighbors and allies we're able to go back and forth extremely easily..
Gonna pause for a bit, I'm about to watch a movie.
So on a sidenote, I saw a great french film called Micmacs.. It's adorable! Go see
it, great cast, funny, sweet.. You'll love it. You won't even mind reading the
subtitles, promise..
Back to Canada, whenever I visit, I always find that I see so many things that
remind of being a little girl, mostly products (I saw a can of Tab cola today, when
is the last time you saw one of those?), TV programs, old buildings.. Remember when
there use to be a red fire alarm stand on every street corner in the US?
I don't know if I'm saying Canada is behind because it does seem very modern, it
seems to have every comfort we're used to at home. In fact, compared to a lot of
places I've traveled to, it is one of the closest to the US in having technological
modernization available to all with the exception of Germany, Switzerland and Japan,
I think (some other smaller European countries should be included in that as well)..
And yet, there is something a little old fashioned about the place and I don't mean
that in a bad way..
It's something to do with the people.. They are very kind, they're interested.. The
pace of life seems slower.. Even in the fast paced cities.. I don't know... Maybe
I'm talking out of my ass but it really reminds me of when I was a little girl..
I not saying people dont care in the states, not at all.. but I don't know.. It just
feels sometimes as though we've become so inundated with information and technology
and 9/11 and the war and Katrina and the BP oil spill.. Presidents getting impeached
and accused of cheating.. And everything in between..
You just become immune after a while... numb..
It doesn't feel like that here.. This country is big as hell and yet, everywhere you
go, feels like a small town..
I'm not that up to date with Canadian politics and I know no one person, or place is
perfect, so I'm sure Canada has had it share of scandals and disasters just like
us.. But hey.. they've got healthcare too..
This isn't an argument for or against Canada.. And it certainly isn't a comparison
by any means.. Or at least, not meant to be.. Its just my own little observation.
But there is something very lovely and quie

It is meant to redefine the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to include people of differing sexual orientation and gender identity beyond just discrimination based upon race, color, religion, or national origin. The full purpose of the The Equality Act is to ensure full federal equality for all LGBT Americans, so that it will extend to those living in the 31 states which don't have adequate non-discrimination legislation. This way LBGT citizens can be equally protected from discrimination when seeking housing, education, jobs, public accommodations and more. Several different corporations stepped forward in support of the act, and Apple was one of them. Here is Apple's statement, The above video is Apple participating in the San Francisco Pride Parade, which it has done for several years now.

The Boston Red Sox were on a tear, winning games by a margin of at least 10 runs per game. They won two-thirds of their games in May and lost only two games before interleague play when everything changed.
David Ortiz has been consistent with his run production with 48 runs behind only Adrian Gonzalez and Jacoby Ellsbury. Ortiz is the designated hitter, which is not used in National League ballparks. Taking away that kind of production can put a team back a step, but it was Carl Crawford's injury that made the team suffer. Carl was struggling in April (batting .155, 1 home run, 6 runs, 15 hits, 17 strikeouts) and turned it around in May (batting .304, 3 homeruns, 19 runs, 34 hits). Crawford's production continued in June (batting .278, 2 homeruns, 8 runs, 15 hits) until his injury during the first game of interleague play hosting the Milwaukee Brewers. It was Crawford being out that took the Red Sox a step back. Losing Ortiz at DH made it little worse.
The Red Sox played their normal ways in game 1 against the Brewers, winning 10-4. Ortiz had 3 hits and 1 run while Crawford got injured at first base ain his only at bat. The Brewers went on to win game 2 and the Red Sox won game 3, but struggles were becoming noticeable without Crawford.
Next up was the San Diego Padres, who swept the Sox at Fenway. Ortiz had a productive game 1 (2 hits, 1 run, 1 walk), but did nothing but make a plate appearance in the next two games. The Red Sox then went on the road to Pittsburgh, where the DH was not allowed and played as if they were scared of crime in the Steal City.
With Crawford out, Red Sox Manager Terry Francona put Ortiz in for one at-bat in 2 of the 3 games as a pinch hitter. The Red Sox are going to lose if Ortiz does not produce and Crawford does not play. Those two are the heart and soul of the team, even with Kevin Youkilis, Adrian Gonzalez and Jacoby Eilisbury playing well. The Red Sox need their team back intact to play at their potential.

Jemma and Cassie have a in fact sweet natural chemistry. They just feel natural jointly. As they kiss, you can see the give and take they have when they're unitedly, just easily balancing out their craves as Cassie relaxes back and settles in to feel Jemma's tongue. First, it swirls over her nipples, deftly teasing as each peak hardens in response. When she pulls away her panties, their mutual anticipation can scarcely be controlled. This is going to be some passionate, extreme cunnilingus.

TO those who own or use a snowthrower, happiness is trouble-free operation. Although knowing how to operate a snowthrower safely and skillfully is important, smooth sailing throughout the snow season depends largely on performing manufacturer-recommended maintenance thoroughly and on time. Complete maintenance information is usually printed in the owner's manual furnished with the snowthrower or available from the manufacturer.
Most maintenance chores, such as changing the engine oil, lubricating parts and replacing worn drive belts, are easiest and most effective when done at season's end, during warm weather, as part of readying the snowthrower for summer storage. But at the start of snow season there are also a few important tasks to perform.
The first is to check the engine crankcase oil, just in case used oil drained at the end of last season was not replaced. Be sure to add fresh oil of the kind specified in the manual.
Also service the air cleaner, which is usually on top of the carburetor at one side of the engine. Though this chore is often performed as part of preparing the snowthrower for storage, doing it at the start of a new season assures that the filter inside the air cleaner is free of deposits that may form during the months of nonuse.
Most owner's manuals contain instructions for servicing the air cleaner, but often the procedure is this: Remove the air cleaner assembly from the engine by loosening the single screw that holds the cleaner in place. Separate the halves of the cleaner and remove the spongelike filter. Clean the filter by washing it in warm, soapy water, then allow it to dry thoroughly. Afterward, pour approximately one tablespoon of fresh engine oil onto the filter. Reinstall the filter between the halves of the cleaner, then refasten the entire assembly to the engine.Continue reading the main story
Also inspect the snowthrower's components to make sure that parts designed to move, such as the control levers and discharge chute, do so smoothly, without binding or scraping. Lubricate them, or adjust them according to instructions in the manual, if they don't. See that immovable parts, such as sheet metal panels, are fastened securely. Besides checking parts and fasteners at the start of each season, do so after any lengthy run or after approximately 10 hours of operating time.
Check the tension of the flexible belts that drive the auger and impeller, which together scoop up and discharge the snow. The belts are usually enclosed by a sheet-metal housing called the belt guard, located on top of the snowthrower between the engine and the discharge chute.
Unbolt the guard to remove it. Worn belts should be replaced prior to storage (changing belts is complicated and not at all comfortable in cold weather). Assuming the belts, new or old, are in sound condition, check their tightness by pressing them with a finger midway between the pulleys around which they are looped.
Correctly tensioned belts should flex between one-quarter and one-half inch. If a belt requires adjustment, consult the owner's manual for the recommended procedure. In most cases, the job means loosening the idler pulley that delivers tension to the belt, then shifting its position slightly and retightening it.
Additional belts or chains that drive self-propelled snowthrowers should also be inspected. Adjustments to these should be made according to instructions in the manual.
Don't overlook the shear bolts. These safety devices are installed in the auger's central shaft, and are designed to break - halting the operation of the auger - if a large object such as a stone or block of wood is accidentally scooped up. Check to make sure the present shear bolts are intact, and keep several spares on hand. Use only bolts recommended in the manual as replacements.
Also set the height of the skids. These metal plates are fastened to the base of the auger housing on each side, and control how close to the ground the snowthrower sweeps. Usually skids are adjusted by loosening bolts that hold them, then sliding them up or down and retightening the bolts. For clearing smooth, paved driveways, set the skids so that the auger sweeps very close to the ground. For clearing gravel drives, raise the height of the thrower by lowering the skids the full amount.
To deter clogging - the chief problem with snowthrowers - spray the auger blade, housing interior and discharge chute with silicone lubricant (the type sold in pressure cans for use on windows) before each use.
If a heavy snowfall is predicted, begin clearing early, even if snow is still falling. Fresh, fluffy snow is easy for snowthrowers to handle. Deep snow, even powder, compacts under its own weight and may partly melt after the storm is over, making clearing more difficult.
If the snowthrower is an electric-start model, check and service the battery if required. Also, if the snowthrower is self-propelled, inspect the condition of the tire chains, which provide maximum traction and should always be used.
Finally, replace the spark plug with a new one if this was not done before storage. Fill the fuel tank with fresh gasoline (do not use gasoline stored over the summer) mixed with fuel-line de-icer if the manual allows. De-icer, also called ''dry gas,'' is available at gas stations and hardware stores.Continue reading the main story

I'm gasping for air because of this image you're suffocating me with-
Scolding me! Reprimanding me!
-always telling me to behave, to stay quiet, and to smile.
I'm beyond your portrait of perfection; the thinner I have thrust upon it is blurring the lines and mixing the colors.
Freedom feels so much better than being bound by your rules.
The difference between you and me is that I'm not afraid to let go of everything and plummet because I embrace the freedom of the fall.

PG Pole Dancing
If you're like us, you were devastated when your parents shot down your idea of making it big as a world famous "dancer". Hadn't they seen Flashdance? How else were you supposed to get a body like that without swinging around a pole? Well fear not friends, now you can get all the physical benefits of pole dancing while still being able to look Mom in the eye at Thanksgiving. Read below for five things you didn't know about pole dancing and some basics on the fitness movement.
It Dates Back Past 96's Striptease - It's hard to believe, but the exotic dance that takes place at your local "Major League Yabbos" and modern day pole dance fitness can both be traced back to ancient times. According to the International Pole Dance Fitness Association (IPDFA), pole dancing that we know and love today has a fusion of Chinese, Indian, French and Dutch elements. "Chinese Pole" for example, dates back past the 12th century and was primarily used by acrobats for circus performances. "Indian Pole," or "Pole Mallakhamb" was used as a way for wrestlers to develop speed, reflexes, concentration and coordination.
Modern Day Fitness Benefits - Let's face it, pole dancing can be pretty intimidating to try out if you're just starting your weight loss journey or if you just have body issues in general. Fear not though because taking a class at a reputable studio won't require you to go topless with just a G-string on...if they do then please find the nearest exit because you just landed yourself a job at the strip club. Pole dance fitness classes can be performed fully clothed so you can experience all the great benefits which include increased flexibility, endurance, balance and overall muscle strength.
Celebrities Do it Too! - Celebs like Britney Spears and Miley Cyrus are pretty much a given for having taken the pole for a spin or two, but even the more "demure" celebrities are trying it out. "I was incredibly ungraceful at first. The upper-body strength and the core strength you need to do it gracefully is crazy. I take my hat off to the women who can do it. You have to be incredibly strong," said Emma Watson who had to learn how to work the pole for her role in "The Bling Ring."
2016 Olympic Contender? - Despite being denied for the 2012 Summer Games, a large effort is still being made for the Olympic Committee to recognize pole dancing as a sport and include it in the lineup for the 2016 Olympics. Until then, competitors will continue to show off their skills at events like the annual International Pole Championship.
It's Not Just for Women - Although the sport is primarily dominated by female competitors, men are starting to break into the field as well. Check out International Pole Championship competitor Steven Retchless on America's Got Talent...body glitter included.
Stripper Poles And Fitness Goals
Fitness Background: You don't need experience as an exotic dancer or a gymnast to get started with pole dancing. Most studios have beginner classes that will help you nail the fundamentals before progressing on to more complicated movements.
Benefits: As stated above, the strength, coordination and flexibility gains that you can achieve through pole dancing are pretty substantial. You can also burn a ton of calories if you work hard for the entire class. While many people use it as their main fitness program, the pay per class structure offered by most studios makes it an ideal supplemental program for CrossFitters, bodybuilders, runners etc.
Pricing: Classes are usually purchased in packages as opposed to the monthly fee system at traditional gyms. Prices typically range from $10 - $20 depending on how many classes you purchase at one time. Check coupon sites like Groupon, Livingsocial or Lifebooker for discounted prices on classes at local studios.
Locations: Pole dancing studios are popping up all over the country, so finding one shouldn't be a problem. Our own personal favorite studio is Wellness On The Green in Morristown NJ. It's a great studio with experienced instructors who will work their butts off to get you in amazing shape.

A Calculus of Need: Funding AIDS Research & Care
Byrn, Robert M., Commonweal
When a large, cohesive, well-connected activist group decides to embrace a cause, the sociopolitical status of the cause changes. Funds are raised; the media take notice; the public reacts; politicians listen. Witness AIDS and breast cancer. Red and pink ribbons are de rigueur, feature stories are common, and with greater-than-usual ceremony, private industry pledges support and politicians announce new funding for research, treatment, and care.
Although AIDS and breast cancer share a spotlight, the reaction of a large segment of the public to those who suffer from the diseases is quite different. To many Americans, people with AIDS (PWAs) personify the degenerate state of society; yet care for PWAs is supported by public funds. Even some sympathetic individuals have become uncomfortable with what they now see as a disproportion in the financial support available to PWAs. There are rumblings of a reaction against the intense public focus on AIDS. (None of this is true of breast cancer.)
Perhaps perceiving an imminent reversal of fortune, individual AIDS advocacy groups, with divergent agendas, have begun to compete with each other for bigger slices of the funding pie. Last year, for example, Martin Delaney, a California AIDS activist, was quoted in the New York Times (November 12, 1997) condemning the "exceptional" status claimed for AIDS: "Why do people with AIDS get funding for primary medical care? There are certainly other life-threatening diseases out there. Some of them kill a lot more people than AIDS does." Delaney favored replacing separate programs for AIDS with a national (universal) health-care system. But in the meanwhile, he seriously challenged the morality of a public policy that gives special attention to AIDS, a challenge that questions the validity of at least some AIDS programs, regardless of the availability of a substitute system.
A second Times article ("New Studies Offer Hope and Caution on AIDS Therapies," November 14, 1997) highlighted new medications that seem to have turned AIDS from an inevitably fatal affliction to a manageable chronic disease. More recently, another Times article ("Wave of Laws Aimed at People with H.I.V.," September 25, 1998) noted a "backlash" among legislators across the country who have come to believe that "we have been soft on the epidemic" and that society now needs "to get tough on people with AIDS." One way of getting tough is to cut funding.
People who write about AIDS ought to begin by revealing their own qualifications, biases, and potentially gored oxen. Herewith the relevant facts of my own situation: I am neither HIV positive (the precursor of AIDS) nor a member of any HIV risk group. On the other hand, within the past year I have undergone treatments for another deadly disease prostate cancer. My medical condition apart, my strong and frequently expressed public opposition to legalized abortion, euthanasia, and homosexual practices makes me an avowed moral conservative. So conventional wisdom would seem to put me in sympathy with arguments that favor eliminating support for PWAs. I am not.
Although I do not have AIDS, it has become a significant part of my life. I volunteer on the AIDS ward of two hospitals. Frequently, the hospital visits lead to follow-up visits to nursing homes. I now spend parts of at least three and as many as six days a week with AIDS patients. I have been doing this for more than three years. During that time, I have lost to the disease people whom I truly came to care about--and grieve for. Few volunteers are able to avoid such emotional involvement. With all this baggage in hand, let me now offer a few comments.
* First: Besides AIDS, another dangerous virus plagues the land. Those whom it infects teach that because some people have advantages that the rest don't, no one should have them. In context, it translates: We spend more on AIDS than on some other deadly diseases; therefore, spend less on AIDS! …

Recently read the excellent piece by Gary Parrish, where he dissects how LeBron James infamous "Decision" has caused younger players to start thinking in those terms. This coming in the wake of top ranked point guard Tyus Jones and Jahlil Okafor's joint recruiting decision. Friday was actually a really big recruiting day with decisions coming from Stanley Johnson as well as Cliff Alexander.
Think it is an excellent point made below by Parrish and believe he is right on the money with the cause and effect relationship.
Did @KingJames' Decision in 2010 lead to today's Jahlil Okafor/Tyus Jones announcement? @GaryParrishCBS thinks so: http://t.co/2oz2O7ah3h.
— CBSSports.com (@CBSSports) November 15, 2013
Still remember James' decision like it was yesterday. Could not believe that he would spurn his hometown team on national television, and it did make him look like a jerk at the time. Two titles later though? Folks tend to start thinking differently about you and that cannot have gone unnoticed by the package recruiting duo. They made their unsurprising on Friday from their respective schools, and twitter immediately was set ablaze with cheers and jeers; it is really amazing to me what kind of hate people are capable of at times. It can be scary, so just be careful what you put out into the world folks.
Jones and Okafor will make the Blue Devils the 2014 season's preseason number one, and of that I have no doubt. It will not even matter whether Jabari Parker stays in school or not, they will be the number one regardless. Whether their season ends in a national title? That will be both up to health and possibly even a little help from the basketball gods.

Kulish wins 2017 Outstanding MA Thesis Award
We are delighted to announce that Ande Kulish is the recipient of the 2017 Outstanding Master's Thesis Award for her research on "Differences in Acculturation-Based Family Conflict: A Latent Profile Analysis of Latino Adolescent and Mother Cultural Value Endorsement."
This is a highly competitive, university-wide award that recognizes originality, creativity, and strong potential for external contribution to the relevant field of study.
Ande's research is supervised by Dr. Gabriela Livas Stein, Director of the CAMINOS Lab, and it is aimed at understanding the nature of conflict in Latino emerging immigrant communities. Results revealed that there are distinct profiles of Latino adolescent-mother dyads based on their patterns of cultural value endorsement: adolescents who endorsed more mainstream cultural values and traditional gender role values than their mothers reported higher acculturation-based family conflict as compared to those adolescents who had more similarities with their mothers in endorsement of cultural values. Identification of these patterns is important if we are to provide appropriate guidance and intervention for family well-being.

I have a ton of fond memories of the Scholastic Press published Dynamite magazine from when I was growing up, something about the humor of the publication really clicked with me. With it's spoof on popular commercials or TV shows of the day or interviews with stars of movies and currently popular TV shows I always found time to sit in our school library and read the latest issue cover to cover.
I admit however that I do not recall this awesome issue of the magazine featuring King Kong (Which was then in theaters) and Laverne and Shirley!
A huge thanks to the Hollywood Gorilla Men blog for the heads up on this particular issue!

Schools in! Our back-to-school savings tips.
That's it, folks – summer's over. Well, the school holiday bit anyway. Now, for parents, it's all about the inevitable back-to-school kit list. From pencil cases to backpacks, uniforms to lunchboxes, those new-term essentials can put your bank account in the bad books. So here are our tips for scoring top marks with your money.
Our new current account and instant savings account that work beautifully together within one super-smart app, powered by Clydesdale Bank & Yorkshire Bank. Compatible devices required to access all of B's features. T&Cs apply. Subject to status & eligibility.
Go back to class
Schools are communities in themselves, so they provide ideal hubs where parents can communicate and organise things. Why not get in touch with teachers or the PTA to set up a back-to-school swap day with other parents? Uniforms, books, backpacks – everyone has pre-loved, out-grown gear they don't need. It's a great way to bring everyone together before the start of a new term, too.
Make a list (then check it twice)
Love them or hate them, lists can stop you buying things you either already have or don't really need. Save time by printing off an existing list (this one (opens in a new window) from greatschools.org is a great starting point), then start narrowing it down. Do you really need to buy things like colouring pencils, or does the school supply them? Just buy the basics first, then you can pick up other things as you go along.
Get personal
Instead of buying branded folders and lunchboxes, why not put your creative critters to work personalising plain ones? All you need is some comics or magazines to cut out (or look up and print off their favourite characters), some glue and an afternoon at the kitchen table. Not only will the kids have unique things rather than off-the-shelf, they'll be more likely to look after things they've put real time and effort into.
Hold a back-to-school 'treasure hunt'
Chances are, your house has been turned a bit upside down in the past month or so. As a result, last term's school things might have gone astray – vanished into that mysterious 'black hole of lost things'. If so, there's nothing surer to help youngsters find them than a school-stuff treasure hunt (with prizes, of course). Write a list of the missing items, set a time limit and award prizes for every 'find'. You'll be amazed what can turns up when there are treats to be won!
Deploy the robots
Once in a while, we all have that nagging suspicion we might be over-paying for something. Well, suspect no more. Money Saving Expert's MegaShopBot (opens in a new window) trawls the top internet comparison sites to find the cheapest online deals. For everything from school shoes to ipads, it's a quick and easy way to make sure you're getting the best price around at the time.

Key Considerations for Hiring the Right Church Construction Developer and Design/Builder
By: Ryan Regina
In today's economy, any church looking to start a new construction project faces certain challenges. Choosing the right construction manager and design/builder using criterion based on individualized, industry-specific needs can make the difference between a successful project and a bona fide disaster. It's imperative to take a few fundamental considerations into account before signing on the dotted line.
A church construction project usually involves one overriding factor above all others: the bottom line. While certainly a critical factor in the decision-making process, budget should not be the only one. When cost alone is the primary focus of a project, serious repercussions are likely to follow, including poor service, time delays, and hidden costs.
When vetting construction managers and design/builders, it's important to consider each and every aspect of the project "life cycle," from the company's own vision to the post-project completion period.
Here are a few key life cycle-based hiring considerations:
While most developers and design/builders will simply refer their customers to a bank or other lenders for financial advice, it is best to seek a higher caliber, full-service firm that provides such financial planning consultation in-house.
Service Scope
It's optimal to retain a construction manager and design/builder with a full-solution, end-to-end project management approach, which offers the benefit of single contact point project control and accountability.
Additionally, appearance is everything with local and regional authorities, who can also impact a project. To best ensure necessary municipal approvals are granted, hire a developer and design/builder that can position and project your image in a way that's accurate and a benefit to the community.
Industry Experience
Companies that are suited for a given project will not only have the technical expertise to build a new facility to the desired specifications, but will also have the client's best interests in mind throughout the entire process.
When developing in the commercial realm, it's important to hire a firm that has a demonstrated track record of working in partnership with high-caliber architects, engineers and subcontractors with synergistic philosophies and culture to deliver a high-quality product.
Land/Property Acquisition
This can include land that ultimately does not meet their needs, more time is required to complete governing approvals or, worse, the project fails all together. Ensure the construction manager and design/build firm you hire has direct experience formulating land agreement documentation and be sure to cover a variety of "what if" scenarios as the paperwork is being prepared.
A qualified construction manager and design/builder will work very closely with the architect, along with professional subcontractors who will be performing the work, to ensure project parameters are crystal clear and maximize the chance of the project being completed to spec, on time, and on budget.
The second is firm size. Usually the bigger the firm, the higher the cost and longer the work turnaround time. While this isn't true with all large firms, it does happen more often than not.
Third, an engineering firm must have an in-depth understanding of state, county, and local agency requirements. A well-rounded engineer understands the black, the white, and the grey of a projects interpretation.
It's also important that legal representatives have adequate experience in Land Use Law, as the right counsel will know when a governing body is operating outside its jurisdiction. As a course of businesses, a full-service construction manager and design/builder will identify and manage such legal aspects of project to readily work through the red tape.
As goes without saying, the construction manager and design/build firm you hire should have extensive experience serving as project manager and general contractor for commercial construction projects of similar size, scale, scope, and complexity optimally in the same industry. Be sure to take on-site tours of buildings the company has helped design, develop, and build, both new and old, as you'll want to ensure the buildings stand the test of time.
Client Service
Look for a company that has verifiable examples of how they provided solutions when unexpected problems that arose. Experienced firms will have a well-honed protocol to minimize surprises and to keep a client duly informed. Much is also said about providing outstanding client service throughout the course of a project, but what about after final payment has been rendered and a project is complete? Will the level of service change?
It's important to thoroughly interview past clients of the development and design/build firm under consideration and to specifically ask about post-project interactions. Stellar referrals in this regard will speak volumes about a company's integrity and character.
Use this project life cycle-based checklist when hiring a commercial developer and design/builder and you'll be well on your way to a successful outcome that not only meets, but may very well exceed, expectations.

text: Now that we've seen where styles are stored, let's look at styles themselves in more detail. A style is a formatting rule that can be applied to an item, such as text, an image, or a table. For example, you can define a style that uses 14-pt, blue, Helvetica text and apply it to all your subheadings. As usual, Dreamweaver provides a friendly UI for defining styles. You can open the New Style dialog box, where you'll begin the process of adding a new style, by using Text CSS Styles New Style. You will need to make your Type selection in this dialog box first because it affects the dialog box's other fields. Figure 10-5 shows three variations of the New Style dialog box—Make Custom Style (class), Redefine HTML Tag, and Use CSS selector—based on the Type radio button selection.

Discussion in 'Drum & Bass' started by $pyto, Jan 12, 2011.
This I dig
But he still has a long way to go to make up for most of the shit he's released over the past year
Guy has got some skills
He's had some bad remixes I know....
Really like Poon though. Cracks me up skankin to that riddim
I've posted it a few times before mate but yeah it is a big tune, I probably prefer to any of his other tunes as well.
Hahahaha. See Poon i cant abide as it just sounds like a poor mans version of Hi-Tek but Brighter Days i like and would even consider buying.
I don't really get this tune I gotta be honest...
Whatttt you sayin Sub Zero has made pure Bangers over the last year!!!
Yeah, if you like bangers that all sound the same
someones been listening to rockwell...
motion, dodge city, phantoma remix, spin doc, poon, trick of tech remix, the weakness (new tune). just to name a few, none of them sound the same to me and in my opinion are all banging.
Jesus, aint it!
That was the shittest tune of last year for me. Have you listened to the original then listened to that?
big tune! Have never bought anything of Sub Zero but feeling this one... Sounds like Triad tho.
Awesome original turned into shite
Same drums. Same synths. Same bit crushed sounding nonsense
Whats wriong with using same drums, synths etc for a year or so then changin it up after that... Like make an album of that then for new album try something new? Why would you want to make dif type of tune everytime?
It's called showing diversity.
But nevermind....
That's the bollox I don't get. Offends mi ears evrytime!
Spin Doc VIP is the best example of this
Brighter Days is proof that Sub Zero CAN do something different. But nearly everything he did last year is just boring by numbers jump up which probably didnt take much effort as it all sounded pretty similar.
And even Hype says it in the clip...."Showing a bit of diversity"
Dodge City and OOh Baby are big tunes as well check em out wayne

Janet Dwyer, Photography, Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, Canada
EWW: Janet, I am curious to know, if someone were asked to make a comment about your scanography work as a whole, what do you think they would say?
Janet: People generally question how it was done, are they paintings? Does she composite parts of several images into one? Does she have a really big scanner? First reactions are often questions about process because the work looks different than most photography. Hyper real enlarged detail, very shallow depth of field, rainbow colored motion effects, varnished prints are new to many viewers and steer their initial response. Afterwards people often get absorbed by the subject matter and find the work beautiful.
EWW: What would be your comments about your Scanography work, as a whole?
Janet: The underlying intention of my scanography work is to provoke an emotional response or elicit questions about our familiar notions of beauty, sensuality, relationship and form.
I seek to illustrate the expressive beauty of nature: flowers, plants, bones and bugs, particularly their human or animal aspects. Careful placement to imply gesture along with revealing the structural parts of flowers that mirror human/animal physiology allow plants to take on their own individual personalities. Our complex feelings, emotions, circumstances may be echoed in their appearance or it can simply be about beauty.
Click on an image to enlarge it.
EWW: Excluding subject matter, are there any themes that consistently run from one work to the other in your scanography such as colors, perspective, lighting, movement, style, etc.?
Janet: Natural objects mirroring or expressing human conditions and emotions is a reoccurring theme. I am interested in exploring motion as it relates to movements of live insects and objects or melting ice. The resultant color fringing the scanner produces is a window into another realm. My earlier work tended to have much more dramatic use of color, lately I find myself leaning toward a more subtle muted (desaturated) or monochrome pallet.
EWW: During the last two decades, besides your own creative work, you have specialized in photographing works of art in all mediums. What are the major challenges you face, when doing this type of photography?
Janet: Lighting is the biggest challenge especially if the artwork is reflective or large scale. Using light and perspective to reveal important aspects of the work but not making it be about the photography. Maintaining a 3D look that gives a sense of presence. Keeping the individual colors as accurate and true to the piece can also be challenging especially with paintings.
Click on an image to enlarge it.
EWW: In addition to doing your own photography, you have taught photography workshops and instructed at colleges and universities across Canada. Regardless of the topic of the individual workshops or courses, what are the three most important concepts that you hope participants or students leave with, when finishing the workshop or course?
1) That outstanding photography takes time and patience and is possible.
2) The way most people learn something new is by doing it wrong the first time, try to see mistakes as opportunities.
3) When things are not going the way you intended – keep going.
EWW: What role doe's social media play in terms of promoting/marketing your work? Is their one social media platform that seems to work better for you, than others?
Janet: I have underused social media for the most part, however I have a Facebook site for announcements and show openings. For lesser-known photographers like myself, the key to sales is having the actual work seen in person; generally people will not purchase an expensive print over the Internet, without having seen the work firsthand.
Click on an image to enlarge it.
EWW: Janet, just to wrap up the interview, do you have any final thoughts about you and your work that you think would be important for others to know about?
Janet: Imaging with a scanner has allowed me to indulge my fascination with detail and form within the natural world. I hope that seeing my work takes the viewer on a similar journey.

"It doesn't hurt as bad when you know you ran into somebody that much better than you."
That was the sentiment of Bluffton tennis coach Bob Brown after the Bobcats were eliminated, 6-1, Friday in the second round of the Class 4-A playoffs by Lexington.
"They were just better than us, one through five," Brown said. "And they were really strong at No. 1 with their No. 6-in-the-state kid."
The Wildcats swept the singles matches. Only the Bobcats' No. 2 doubles team of Diego Garcia and Matthew Bornstein could pull out a victory.
The Wildcats' No. 1 Brown mentioned, Logan Adkins, made relatively quick work of Bluffton No. 1 Aaron Newland 6-3, 6-2. And at No. 2, Lexington's Thomas Bryan frustrated Richard Snyder 6-2, 6-1.
It was only in the Nos. 3 and 4 matches that the Bobcats had a shot at wins to force the No. 1 doubles to play and extend the match. But neither Davis Rosenblum nor Morgan Philoxene could pull out victories.
"You could tell they played a lot of good teams in their region," Brown said. "I'm really proud. I think we gave them all we had today."
Brown says that for the Bobcats to handle teams like Lexington in the future, they have to get better, and that means more tennis.
"We've got to play more tennis. We have to focus on a lot of tennis," Brown said. "We didn't play a lot of teams like this."
Brown said Newland is his only real full-time tennis player who plays tournaments outside of school.
"Tournaments make you tough," Brown said. "You see guys like this all weekend long, not just once or twice a year."
As much as Brown knows the solution, though, he can't force his players to play more.
"They have to decide it in their hearts," Brown said. "They have to want to do it."
Singles: No. 1 Logan Adkins (L) def. Aaron Newland 6-3, 6-2; No. 2 Thomas Bryan (L) def. Richard Snyder 6-2, 6-1; No. 3 Grayson Hill (L) def. Davis Rosenblum 6-4, 6-4; No. 4 Will Horton (L) def. Morgan Philoxene 6-4, 7-5; No. 5 Nikil Sairam (L) def. Dakota Story 6-1, 6-1
Doubles: No. 2 Diego Garcia/Matthew Bornstein (B) def. Byron Byars/Ayden Phillips 6-2, 6-0
