When I decided to start my photography business, I had no idea that being a personal wardrobe consultant would be part of the job. I mean, I wear jeans, black shirts and flip flops year round. I choose clothes that are comfortable and easy. Black is easy. So who was I to give suggestions on what to wear for a photo session!
Since I do have 4 children, dressing children to coordinate wasn't new to me. But telling others what to wear and why was new.
I learned quickly that clients needing help on what to wear would become part of every session, whether you were shooting children, families or seniors. This is such an important part of working with your clients. Educating them on what looks good and what doesn't really helps everything come together. The season, location and clothing all play a role in your finished photos.
You want to avoid everyone doing "matchy matchy" clothes. That means no white shirts and jeans, no tan pants and blue shirts and nobody wearing the same color on top. Instead, you want them to coordinate. Coordinating means you're going to have 2-4 colors that go well together. There are basic color combinations that work for each season.
To know which colors are being worn in each season, I suggest looking up Pantone Colors, with the year and season. Each year they predict the colors that are trending. To get a better idea of groups of colors that coordinate, Pinterest will be your best friend for finding that information.
- I suggest clients first look through their wardrobe. Find one article of clothing that is their favorite. This can be a solid color or a pattern. Plaid and argyle are great patterns to use in photos because they incorporate at least 3 colors. Those 3 colors would then be what you use to build your outfits around. A great choice for the first article of clothing would be something like these:
- Now that you've chosen your first article of clothing, you can build all of the other outfits around it, using colors that will coordinate. Take that one piece of clothing that's your inspiration piece and start going through clothes that you already own. Chances are, you have other clothes that will coordinate. After you've pulled your clothes together, start looking at the gaps that need to be filled in. I like to lay all pieces on my bed and look at everything together. That way, I get a clear idea of what I still need. Remember, we want 2-4 colors. When I realize what I still need, I usually make a shopping trip to Old Navy. Old Navy has clothing for mom, dad and children, so I know I will be able to fill in my gaps there with colors that coordinate.
- Next, it's time for accessories. I love this part! I send clients to one store for accessories and that is Charming Charlie's. They have jewelry in every color, different styles and are priced reasonably. Let's say the clothes above were what I needed to shop for. Items like those below are great to have when you are pulling these together. Jewelry for mom and a flower crown for daughter that coordinate with the clothes. Notice mom has a mint skirt but the jewelry I chose has more of a peach/pink look. That's because I wanted it to coordinate with daughter's dress.
- Now we're going to add shoes. Shoes do matter. You don't want to look all gorgeous in your clothes but then wear your 10 year old sandals that clearly show their age. But you also don't want to spend a lot of money on shoes unless you need to. I get it. I have a family of 6 so I know I can't go buy everything new for a photo session. So, again, look through what you have. If shoes need to be cleaned up or scuff marks taken out, do that to bring new life into them. It's important to wear shoes that are right for the outfit.
Your clothing, accessories and jewelry have all been picked out for your client. Yay!! Now what? Stay tuned for our next blog post that takes this all one step further!

CLEVELAND >> A 20-year-old Cleveland gang member has been sentenced to life in prison for killing a 17-year-old girl he wanted silenced after helping recruit her to rob a bank.
Cleveland.com reports prosecutors say Kiechaun Newell lured Breanna Fluitt from her East Cleveland home and shot her in the back after surveillance photos from the October 2016 robbery were made public. Newell's mother contacted police after hearing him brag about the slaying.
Newell apologized during Thursday's sentencing in Cleveland and said he accepted the jury's verdict. Yet he also maintained his innocence and said he planned to appeal his aggravated murder conviction.
A defense attorney said Newell had a traumatic childhood.
Co-defendant Jeffrey Doss trial is scheduled for trial in February. He's pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder and other charges.

For every Object Salon, five curators each select artists to present a three-dimensional work that adheres to the size and weight requirements of international airline carry-on luggage.
Another year, another Frieze Art Fair: "Did you see Pinault in the tent last night?"-"Oh yes, chatting with Damien"….Talk of Larry and Charles, Jay and Roman…"Who's that shadowy-looking Russian gent?…"Brad and Angelina have just flown in from Malibu"…Glasses tinkle, corks pop, ice swirls, and business cards slip into breast pockets…"See you in Miami!" : Gargantuan sculptures line the promenade. Big paintings hung on bigger walls… "Can I take this home right now?"…"Now boarding. Has this bag been in your possession since you packed it? Anything flammable, liquid, perishable?"…"It's oversize. Sorry, just the rules…"
Two curators from the original Object Salon are joined by three from London to present a diverse sample of the small-format sculpture being created by contemporary artists. This edition of Object Salon is organised to coincide with Frieze, playfully engaging with both the salon-style presentation of international art fairs and the nomadic, international community of artists, dealers and collectors who travel from around the globe to participate in these events.
Contemporary art practices are diverse, however, monumental sculpture or installation is increasingly commanding attention from the press and art-viewing public. Apart from rare exceptions such as Hirst's skull, modestly-scaled and hand-made creations are playing second fiddle to mega-objects. The curators feel that this is a shame. Their selection will make it clear that smaller sculptures offer more than enough to 'take on board'.
This is the second Object Salon. The first took place at Honey Space in New York, coinciding with the International Armory Fair (March of 2008). It was conceived by American artist and curator Thomas Beale. One of his curatorial collaborators from that show, Kathy Grayson, will also participate in this edition, along with the London based curators Nadim Samman, Emily Speers Mears and Anya Stonelake.

Central tribunal orders IPS officer Amitabh Thakur's reinstatement
A CAT bench comprising Navneet Kumar and Jayati Chandra said there was no denial of the fact that there was a delay in extending the suspension period.india Updated: Apr 26, 2016 00:35 IST
The Lucknow bench of the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT), in an interim order on Monday, stayed IPS officer Amitabh Thakur's suspension and ordered his reinstatement with full salary with effect from October 11, 2015.
A CAT bench comprising Navneet Kumar and Jayati Chandra said there was no denial of the fact that there was a delay in extending the suspension period.
The tribunal said it could not find any provision in the rules where the state government had the power to give 'post facto' extension in suspension after 90 days.
As per the order, the central government had filed an affidavit before the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court, stating it had revoked the suspension of Thakur and that an affidavit before the high court could not be taken lightly.
Hence, the CAT directed that the state government order of March 31 extending the Indian Police Service officer's suspension for 95 days shall remain stayed till the petition's disposal and he shall be reinstated with effect from October 11, 2015, with full salary.
The CAT directed the central and state governments to file their replies within two weeks, and fixed May 12 as the next date of hearing.
In his petition, Thakur said that after the central government quashed his suspension, the Uttar Pradesh government was bound to comply with the order.
Thakur was suspended after he lodged a case against Samajwadi Party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav on charge of threatening him over phone.

If you've been wondering "does home staging help sell a home?" - the answer is definitely yes, and can be especially helpful with vacant homes. Staging a house for sale when it is vacant involves adding furniture
and accessories in order to create a warm,
inviting space that has wide appeal. In
both cases, the object is to highlight the
features of the house and downplay any flaws.
people have a hard time imagining what a
vacant home will look like when it's

poses a problem. They walk into an empty

they'd furnish it."

Hatton said the amount clients spend (on
staging) is often linked to the asking price
of the home. If you're selling a home
for $280,000 or more and you have outdated
wallpaper, you need to address that. (Not
replacing it) can cost you $10,000 on the

a vacant home could result in a lower

'Bethlehem,' a film of spies and intrigue and Oscar possibilities
Foreign-language (meaning non English-language) films from 76 countries, ranging from Afghanistan to Venezuela, are competing for Oscar honors this year, with Israel's entry, "Bethlehem," pitting Shin Bet, Israel's internal security service, against diverse Palestinian factions eager to blow up the Jewish state.
In Hollywood's hands, this plot would be a no-brainer, with the guys in the white hats mopping up the floor with the bad guys.
However, it is only fair to warn flag-waving partisans on either side, who see the conflict in terms of unblemished virtue against pure evil, that they're not going to like the way the film handles its subject.
As the film's producer, Talia Kleinhandler, writes, "What I think is important about this story is that it never attempts to give a clear answer about right and wrong. All the characters in 'Bethlehem' are flawed; all are vulnerable. There is no black and white in this film, only painful shades of gray – like the reality we all live in here."
If this assessment makes it sound like a namby-pamby movie, full of on-the-one-hand, but on-the-other-hand, agonizing, "Bethlehem," named for the West Bank city where the action unfolds, is anything but.
Co-written by Yuval Adler, an Israeli Jew who served in an army intelligence unit, and Ali Waked, a Palestinian Muslim and journalist, "Bethlehem" is a nail-biting thriller with enough intrigue and bullets to keep the most demanding action fan satisfied.
The film's time and setting is the Second Intifada, from roughly 2000 to 2005, and in the opening scene, Palestinian suicide bombers have struck in the heart of Jerusalem, with scores dead and wounded.
The central protagonists are Razi, a veteran Shin Bet (or Shabak) agent, and Sanfur, a 17-year-old Palestinian recruited by Razi as an informer two years earlier.
But Sanfur isn't just any kid with a hankering for American jeans. He is the younger brother of Ibrahim, the local leader of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, whom Razi has been hunting for more than a year.
Like almost everything in the movie, and in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict it depicts, the relationship between the seasoned Israeli agent and the teenage Palestinian boy is complex and often contradictory.
Adler, who is also the film's director, quotes a veteran Israeli secret service agent who told him that "the key to recruiting and running informants is not violence, or intimidation, or money, but the key is to develop an intimate relationship with the informant, on a very human level. It's not just the informant who is confused about his identity and loyalties. The agent, too – and especially the good ones – often experience a blurring of the lines."
Following this dictum, Sanfur, whose own father clearly favors the militant Ibrahim over his younger son, finds in Razi a kind of surrogate father, and Razi cares personally for the boy – even if that clashes with his professional duties.
While the Palestinian militants hate Israel, they dislike their internal rivals with equal intensity. The secular al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, affiliated with Fatah, contemptuously refers to the fervently Islamic Hamas as the "beards," who in turn loathe the corrupt bureaucrats of the Palestinian Authority.
Co-writer Waked, interviewed in a Hollywood hotel, draws an analogy between these feuds and the pre-1948 Jewish community in Palestine, when Menachem Begin's Etzel and David Ben-Gurion's Haganah detested one another with as much fervor as they did the British soldiers.
Another remarkable aspect of "Bethlehem" is that almost everyone involved in making the movie is pretty much of a novice.
The strong acting lineup, foremost Shadi Mar'i as Sanfur and Tsahi Halevy as Razi, consists almost entirely of first-time actors. Furthermore, for both Adler and Waked, "Bethlehem" is their first feature film.
Adler, 44, said in an interview that his film debut is a major hit in its home country, and won a fistful of awards, including best picture, at the Israeli equivalent of the Academy Awards.
Israel's media, which have a much higher tolerance for national self-criticism than their American counterparts, have generally come out with complimentary reviews, though the strongest raves have been in the foreign press and trade papers.
Curiously, while in most countries the political right would have condemned the film's critical take on the national security service, in Israel it has been the left that has slammed the picture for its supposedly distorted view of the Palestinian struggle.
Thus in an article in the daily Haaretz, headlined " 'Bethlehem' is yet another Israeli propaganda film," critic Gideon Levy terms as "outrageous" what he sees as the movie's portrayal of Israelis as the good guys and Palestinians as the bad guys.
Adler, who has steadfastly declined to discuss his own political orientation, considers such charges preposterous. His diverse cast of Israeli and Palestinian actors "made it possible to see the world through their eyes," he said. "As director, I tried to bring their contradictory viewpoints into a single whole, without taking sides, and without judging them."
For the Israeli Film Academy, picking "Bethlehem" as the country's official Oscar contender marks an interesting shift in focus from the two preceding entries, "Footnote," which dealt with academic rivalries at a university, and last year's "Fill the Void," which viewed life and love among the ultra-Orthodox.
It will be interesting to see how the famously unpredictable Academy selection committee reacts to the picture, but the film has been touted as a real Oscar contender in a number of Hollywood publications.
A quick glance at submissions from other countries shows that, contrary to frequent predictions, the world's producers and directors have not lost their interest in movies about the Nazi era, the Holocaust and the conflict in the Middle East.
Argentina's "The German Doctor" follows the notorious Dr. Josef Mengele, Auschwitz' "Angel of Death," as he flees to the South American country and befriends an unsuspecting family there.
In years past, the U.S. Academy wrestled with the proper terminology for the "Palestinian Authority" or "Palestinian Territories," but apparently everybody has stopped worrying about the problem, so the film "Omar" is credited with coming from "Palestine."
Omar, the baker, lives on one side of Israel's security wall, while the beautiful Nadia lives on the other side. But the romantic scenario turns very grim as Omar becomes a "freedom fighter" battling the ruthless Israeli occupiers.
One of the more interesting entries is The Philippines' "The Transit," which deals with the lives of Filipinos working in mostly low-paid jobs in Israel.
For World War II buffs, there is Russia's "Stalingrad," which chronicles both the epic battle and love among its ruins.
"Bethlehem" will be released in local theaters Feb. 21, 2014. Oscar nominees will be announced Jan.16 and the winners will be crowned on March 2.

School supplies sales are on target
By Laura Collins
Published in News on September 1, 2009 1:46 PM
Back-to-school shopping can be more like a scavenger hunt for some parents.
Nancy Branch, mother of a sixth-grader, was still finishing up school supply shopping Wednesday evening. She had already been to two places looking for binders.
"It's hard to find a good time to come out," she said. "Sometimes if you wait until after school starts, things are much more discounted, but there's also the chance they might be sold out."
Another mother, Elaine Perry, said she started early with back-to-school shopping, but still had a few more items to get Wednesday, a day after school started.
"You know, I tried to beat the rush, shopping early in the morning well before the start of the school year, but here I am about to pick through the leftovers to find some more folders," she said.
Mrs. Perry said it can be frustrating for parents when teachers change the school supply lists after school has already started.
"It's only one or two things, but I still would have rather had all of this done by now," she said. "And since when do the parents buy Kleenex for the teachers' classrooms? That seems like a new one."
With the majority of the school supply rush over, area stores are reporting a good turnout this year.
Gary Carter, general manager at Staples, said the store's "one cent sale" really kicked the season off.
"Everyone likes to shop early," he said. "We had the one cent ads in the paper and those did absolutely tremendous. We call it our Christmas in August around here. It's absolutely amazing for us, and we have a great time."
Carter said graphing calculators were one of the highest-selling items, along with the traditional notebooks and pens.
"We are still pretty well in stock right now and might be one of the only guys that still has filler paper," he added.
At Kmart, Bernice Gorum, hardlines manager, said the store "sold through just about everything."
"Most of the rush is over now, but we still have a few people trickling in," she said. "The crowds were a little bit less than last year, but a lot of people shopped early in the season just trying to prepare."
Mrs. Gorum said although there seemed to be fewer people shopping, she estimated the store's "sale through" as 80 percent better than last year. Sale through is based on what is leftover after the school supply rush is over.
Popular items at Kmart were binders, which sold out quickly, and loose leaf paper. The store also sold a large number of khaki pants and plain polo-style shirts.

"an extraordinary intoxicating masterpiece"yesterday was a really wonderful day. a friend of mine had her 17th birthday and we went out, first an absolutely delicious sushi & chinese buffet, then cinema and finally we went to a party, located in an old prision. we watched black swan and this is such a fantastic movie, it absolutely deserves his 5 Oscar nominations. a dark,dramatic and horror atmosphere basked in a classic ballet romance. i love the story and the confusion of truth and delusion, you never know if it is real or not, you don't even know if those horrible things are just pictures to express the unbelievable pressure and the ambition for perfection. and it does not happen that often that the whole audience keeps sitting and keeps so unbelievably quiet after a movie ended. it was a - oh wow, what a impressing movie - silence. breathtaking.
time for a brand new DROPDEAD-wishlist. i think you know the grey sweatshirt already; i keep talking and thinking about it in some older posts and at the moment they would even have it in stock, so what keeps me from ordering ? nothing. maybe the thing that it's a bit expensive. $50. but i think it's worth it, and no one up here would wear the same, just because of the fact that you can't buy it in stores here in germany. this is what i hate about it. we've got only one Urban Outfitters store here, and that store is about 800km away from me. i hate it. i hate that there is no newlook, no primark, no babycakes, no dropdead, no topshop, just h&m, nothing else. it sucks. germany sucks.

i'm feeling like my brain is completely flooded with crap. i'm connecting everything to Fringe. i have to only switch the radio on , hear a song and i keep thinking i would hear a variation of the Fringe theme in it. i should really stop watching it that frequently. but it is a way of screwing myself. i keep saying to my brain i'm doing something for school if i watch the episodes in english and it accepts. it does work and that is frightening. so it is not just Fringe that floods my brain, it is fashion, drawing or rather the need to draw, words, and some strange ideas for my human-machine. i feel like my brain is drowning in that wave of information and confusing thoughts, i feel like it is ready to explode sometimes.. what leads me back to Fringe.. brain and exploding heads. uuh ♥ what i need is some space in there, endless space. my brain is so confused and flooded with crap that i'm kind of physically present while my thoughts are flying out, exploring the galaxy and i don't get anything people tell me. kind of annoying for my friends i think :P

over the moon.
first i didn't make a complete idiot of myself at the meeting with the canadians & i'm really satisfied with myself too because i was brave enough to even ask some questions without making some stupid mistakes. :D those guys were really awesome, they told us a lot about ice hockey and canada and at the end we all got some autographs and a free ticket for the match on friday. that's so cool, i've never been to any ice hockey game so i'm definitely going to take the chance and watch the game. and second as i came home today from school i opened the letter box and found a small brown package adressed to me. while i was wondering what might be in there i suddenly remembered i ordered something last sunday. it was the second season of FRINGE. i quickly opened the package and yeah it was really in there - oh my gosh - they were really fast and i could hardly stop myself from jumping around in the house . . i love this series and now i can watch the complete second season and get the whole background story of peter, olivia, walter and the alternative universe. so i'm gonna finish here right now to watch the first episode ;D how could that day have been better ? ♥

i'm really excited. tomorrow some canadian ice hockey players are going to visit our english class and we should ask them some questions about canada, ice hockey and things like that to improve our english speaking skills. i'm so afraid this could be embarassing. i know i'll make some really silly mistakes and i don't want them to think 'oh my gosh, she's such an idiot.' so, yeah, i'm quite nervous. that's so stupid, they are only ice hockey players ! i'm really thinking of myself being a complete oaf right now. why am i afraid ?! i absolutely have to cool down. i have some good questions like ' how do you think about the way they show the canadians in south park with those split up heads that are shaking all the time ?' :D no i was just kidding, i'd ask 'have you been to the olympic winter games in vancouver last year?' and 'why did you choose ice hockey?' i think it will be great tomorrow, hopefully NOT embarassing.
OMG. i didn't realize canada has such an amazing and beautiful landscape.. the lake is breathtaking. just take a look at the colour of the water. unbelievable. by the way they are shooting the fringe series in vancouver :D now i really love canada ♥

sketch book.
i had to do this special sketch book about music and art for school and today i turned it in. i'm very nervous about what my theacher thinks but what is even more frightening is the fact that i feel like there is missing a part of me. i was working so hard on it and now that i don't have it anymore i feel lost. that's just because i'm stupidly thinking i can't write down if i had a new or brilliant idea. for that i could just use another white paper and write it into the sketch book later.. the purpose of that book was to develop a special project how music could be expressed in art. i'm thinking of doing a kind of mechanical human, filled with all those sounds we hear in our everyday life. there should be sounds that are completely unimportant , sounds we don't really hear anymore, like the ticking of a clock. combined with some light effects it will create a really phantastic atmosphere. 'the sound of life' ; some inspirations:
- my machine should be nearly human. if i switch it on i won't be able to switch it off again until it's energy is completely used up. this machine is going to die. nothing will work without the batteries. soon some sounds will be missing and in the end there will be nothing but dark silence. it's getting older like a real person. and the last sound you'll hear is the beating of it's heart.

i had some beautiful days with snowboarding, ice skating, wonderful friends, hot chocolate & short nights. Wednesday i went ice skating with Julie on a small lake in thalham, a very small village where Julie lives, just about 1km away from the village where i live. i was really crackbrained to go there by bike, i nearly died, it was so cold i couldn't move my fingers and toes anymore when i was at home again. but it was a wonderful day anyway ♥ Thursday i went snowboarding with my dad, his girlfriend and my sister. it was a small but a nice skiing area with some easy and medium slopes and once again i sensed how much i love snowboarding. i just felt free and couldn't stop smiling. everything was perfect, even the freezing rain and the fact that my trousers and gloves were totally wet couldn't make me think different. the next day i woke up with headache, sore throat and cough. so i stayed on the sofa the whole day, watched about 7 episodes of Fringe, season 1, drank 2 cups of hot milk and honey, took some pills and at the end of the day i was fit again. the next day i had to get up at 5am to take a bus that brought us to austria for snowboarding again. i went there with Danja ♥ and the outward journey was horrible. we couldn't sleep, the seats were really uncomfortable and it was so hot in that bus. as we arrived my mood changed from 'i just wanna die' to 'this is what makes life worth living!' and as we went upwards with the gondola i couldn't wait to ride down the slopes, touching the cold snow, felling the speed and the air flow. at noon the sun came out and it was such a beautiful day. at the end we were both totally exhausted, and after falling more than riding we decided to relax in the canvas chairs they arranged at the mountain top. if you closed your eyes you could have felt like lying at the beach because of the warm and shiny sunlight. just wonderful ♥

Uzbekistan – behind closed gates
On 15 October, the well-known Uzbek human rights activist Mutabar Tajibayeva participated in a joint NHC/NOAS seminar on Uzbekistan in Oslo. More than 30 guests from immigration authorities, ministries and other interested attended the seminar and the following movie screening aimed at shedding some light on the human rights situation behind the closed gates of Uzbekistan.
Tika Tsertsvadze from the Brussels-based think-tank EUCAM in her presentation on EU – Uzbekistan relations was concerned that the EU wasted what they had of leverage when they lifted the sanctions imposed after the Andijan-massacre in 2005, with Uzbekistan having met, partially, only one of the necessary benchmarks.
Lene Wetteland from the NHC gave a general overview of the dismal human rights situation in the repressive country, where any civil society activity is a danger, there is no free media and the prisons are filled with religious believers, journalists and human rights activists. International organisations are denied presence in the country and little information is shared, making the NHC's work for development of civil society very challenging.
In the debate moderated by NOAS Secretary General Ann-Magrit Austenå, Mutabar Tajibayeva shared her particular concern with the people that are forced to leave Uzbekistan whether it is because of poverty or persecution, and are deported to Uzbekistan after rejection of their asylum claims in Europe. - Through close cooperation between local mahalla committees and the police, the authorities have full overview over every citizen's presence or absence from his registered residence, and will take any measures to get the information they want, she warned.

Measuring your horse for an EOUS Blanket
When measuring a horse for proper EOUS blanket size, it is always best to do so with the help of a second person. We recommend measuring your horse with a flexible tape measure to ensure the most accurate measurement possible. Start by standing your horse as square as possible on a flat, even surface. Place the tape measure at the center of the horse's chest. With the tape held in place at the chest, run it along the side of the horse's body until you reach the edge of the tail bone. For the most accurate measurement, keep the tape as straight as possible along the horse's side without following the contours of the horse's body.
Fitting an EOUS Blanket
When trying a new blanket for size, we recommend placing a thin, clean sheet on your horse first to keep the new blanket as clean as possible, in case it needs to be returned. Place the blanket on your horse and fasten all front closures. Gently slide the blanket so it rests comfortably at the shoulder and chest, remember EOUS blankets sit up over the withers to relieve pressure off of this area. Fasten the surcingles or belly band and make adjustments to secure it in place. Surcingles should fit loosely on the horse's stomach with approximately four fingers width between belly and straps. Whether you choose to cross the leg straps or not, be sure they are adjusted properly. Leg straps should be snug enough so that they do not leave enough room for a horse to hook a shoe or foot during play or while rolling; yet not too snug that the straps rub or irritate the horse.
Checking the Fit of Your EOUS Blanket
Properly fitting a horse blanket is extremely important to prevent shoulder & wither rubs as well as any injuries that could possibly result from an ill-fitting blanket.
- To check the length, stand behind the horse and gently bring the two ends toward each over the tail. If the ends meet, then the blanket is too large. If you cannot bring them together at all or if you can see more than 2-3 inches of the horse's rump on either side of the tail, then the blanket is too small.
- To check the blanket fit on the front of your horse, it is best to watch the horse walk. As he moves forward, observe the shoulders. If the blanket fabric pulls tightly against the shoulder to the point of possibly impeding the freedom of movement, then it is too snug. If the blanket drops very low at the shoulder or chest, then the neck opening and/or blanket is too large.
- When checking the drop of the blanket, please note that most turnout blankets will have a longer drop to ensure ample coverage and protection from the elements. The blanket drop should be proportionate to the length and overall fit. In general, the drop should cover the belly, but should not go more than halfway to the horse's knees and hocks.

IVF and egg donation success rates can vary greatly between different clinics
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) May 21, 2012
Egg Donor and IVF success rates are above the national average for a thirteenth consecutive year, announces the Advanced Fertility Center of Chicago.
"We are seeing exceptional levels of success with our egg donor program, and our in vitro fertilization success rates are also among the highest in the country," says Dr. Richard Sherbahn, Medical Director at Advanced Fertility Center of Chicago. "The data from the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology reflects our stringent quality control and dedication to providing our patients the highest possible success rates we can."
The Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART) recently released 2010 data on U.S. fertility clinics' success rates for in vitro fertilization and egg donation programs. These statistics show that the Advanced Fertility Center of Chicago has success rates that are among the highest in the U.S.
According to the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART) 2010 IVF success rates report, the Advanced Fertility Center of Chicago achieved an egg donation success rate (live birth rate) of 81.6% per embryo transfer in 2010. This success rate is 47% higher than the national average of 55.6%. For women under 35, having IVF using their own eggs, Advanced Fertility showed a 60.3% live birth success rate. This is 35% higher than the national average rate of 44.6%.
"SART has made it easy for anyone to check success rates for any fertility clinic," Dr. Sherbahn explains. "The SART report is released on the web every year and is available to the public. Every clinic has its own listing page that shows its IVF and egg donation success rates."
"This report by SART marks another record setting year for us. Our clinics are intimate and personal, which allows us to focus our attention on the individual patient," says Dr. Sherbahn. "However, our 2010 egg donation success rates are exceptionally impressive, and a big deal for us. These success rates demonstrate how hard we work to provide excellent care for our patients – for every case and every day."
About the Advanced Fertility Center of Chicago
The Advanced Fertility Center of Chicago, with offices in Gurnee and Crystal Lake, Illinois, offers advanced reproductive technology services such as in vitro fertilization, IVF. Both IVF pricing and egg donation pricing options are available with a "money-back guarantee" for couples that qualify.

Hush Money (Hardcover)
Minotaur Books, 9781250005236, 326pp.
Publication Date: May 8, 2012
A Finalist for Private Eye Writers of America's Shamus Award for Best First P.I. Novel
A Finalist for Left Coast Crime's 2013 Rocky Award
When Hush Puppy, Pasadena socialite Sydney Everett's champion show horse, dies under suspicious circumstances, junior lawyer Jack MacTaggart is assigned to handle the insurance claim. But the case soon takes an unexpected turn, thrusting Jack into a spiraling web of blackmail and murder in which he finds himself both the prime suspect and the next likely victim.
In this acclaimed debut novel, the first in a series, former Los Angeles trial lawyer Chuck Greaves takes readers into the high-stakes worlds of big-firm litigation and professional equestrian show-jumping, where no one can be trusted, and where nothing is quite what it seems.
About the Author
Praise For Hush Money…
"Hush Money is a fast-paced, funny mystery and Jack MacTaggart is a delightful, wise-cracking hero. I hope we see more of him."
—Phillip Margolin, author of Capitol Murder
"Superbly written and paced, this sensational legal thriller reads like a polished jewel. Set in the Mercedes and Rolex horse show world, Greaves sports a smoking new voice in crime fiction, reminiscent of John Hart. Hush Money's riveting characters and snappy dialogue round out a smashingly memorable first effort. Chuck Greaves has major writing chops."
—Julia Spencer-Fleming, New York Times bestselling author of One Was a Soldier
"Take John D. MacDonald's Travis McGee, Jonathan Kellerman's Alex Delaware, and the best of John Grisham's protagonists, shake and serve, and you'll have the hero of Hush Money. Chuck Greaves has written a confident, cool and totally engrossing legal thriller with the pop and sizzle of some of the greats of the genre. It's a hell of a debut."
—Chelsea Cain, New York Times bestselling author
"One heck of a debut, and a welcome addition to the genre. Jack MacTaggart is a joy to root for, and there are enough twists and turns to keep you up way past bedtime. A thoroughly enjoyable mystery."
—Ira Berkowitz, author of 2010 Shamus Award-winning Sinners' Ball
"Chuck Greaves writes with style and an insider's knowledge of the courtroom and the lawyer's life. Hush Money is smart, entertaining and funny. And in Jack MacTaggart he has created a likeable, wise-cracking lawyer-detective -- Jim Rockford with a law degree. A great read."
—William Landay, author of Defending Jacob
"Greaves' debut mystery, Hush Money, sparks with snappy dialog, rich imagery, and sarcasm sharp as a razor. Early in the book, the line, '…above the blooms, like a spider at the center of her web, floated the head and shoulders of a smallish woman, her darting eyes alert to the activity around her," told this reader she'd stumbled upon darn good writing."
—Sasscer Hill, author of Agatha and Macavity Best First Mystery nominee, Full Mortality
"Greaves makes the most of his 25 years as a trial attorney in relating courtroom tactics. The combination of confident writing and a determined and ethical protagonist add up to a winner."
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Cleverly intermingles equestrian show jumping, insurance claims, and high-tech science in this sunny California thriller. Great readalikes for tone would be Jack Fredrickson and Spencer Quinn."
—Library Journal (starred review)
"An auspicious debut. Jack [MacTaggart] would be welcome back in the winner's circle any time."
—Kirkus Reviews
"With its "whoa, boy!" central character, sharp dialogue, and hit-the-spot Southern California venues, this is a series with plenty of potential."
—Yahoo! Shine
"If you combine the horse-centered suspenses of Dick Francis with the legal thrillers of John Grisham you'll have Chuck Greaves and his first novel, Hush Money."
—The Chronicle of the Horse
"This is a first novel that promises much pleasure to come for a long time; the very likable lawyer central character will surely be the basis of a series."
—Sullivan County Democrat
"A great debut novel."
—Algona Upper Des Moines
"A sexy, funny, rollicking good show from start to finish."
—Winnipeg Free Press
"Fast-paced and inspired, written with an insider's knowledge of the legal world, it's a terrific addition to the genre, and one hopes there will be more Jack stories."
—RT Book Reviews
"Like a nicely-executed jumper ride. The rhythm flowed from the steadiness of a well-paced triple combination to the accurately frantic fun of a jump off. And let's just say that Hush Money had a clean round with no time faults. … An intelligent murder mystery played by actors unique and strong in character. Whatever the story that Greaves shares next, Jack will be welcome."
—The Equestrian News

Most Central Oregonians know Newberry Volcano for its scenic views and location within the Newberry National Volcanic Monument. But the western flank of the mountain, just outside the monument boundaries, has attracted international attention as a unique source of a new type of clean energy.
Oregon State University-Cascades will play host to a four-day workshop this month for 55 scientists and engineers from all over the world, including the Netherlands, Japan and New Zealand. The researchers are traveling to Bend to study the potential for geothermal drilling on Newberry Volcano.
Adam Schultz, professor of geophysics at OSU's Corvallis campus, said the workshop will include a trip to the mountain itself to study what makes it uniquely suited to geothermal energy production.
"There is so much potential energy just below the surface," Schultz said.
Traditional geothermal energy, in the form of steam that occurs as cool water reaches hot rock under the Earth's surface, has been used as an energy source in the past. However, Schultz said Newberry has underground heat, but no water, making it a good fit for a newer type of energy generation known as "enhanced geothermal systems."
In it, cool water is pumped 10,000 feet below the Earth's surface, where it flows into cracks in the rock, the temperature of which can exceed 800 degrees Fahrenheit. The water heats up, produces steam and is pumped back to the surface, where it can drive turbines and create electricity.
"Newberry really is a test case," Schultz said.
In addition to a well of easily accessible super-hot rock, the Newberry site has an advantage in its existing infrastructure. In 2014, AltaRock Energy, a Seattle-based company that focuses on geothermal drilling, pumped 3.5 million gallons of water into cracks in the hot rock under the volcano. The two 10,000-foot wells built during the project are still in place, as are several smaller exploration wells in the area.
The site is less than 30 miles from OSU-Cascades in Bend, which makes the university, an early partner with AltaRock Energy, a suitable location to host the workshop.
Julie Gess-Newsome, dean of academic affairs for OSU-Cascades, said the campus is looking to expand its profile in Oregon and in the Pacific Northwest by hosting scientific workshops during the summer. The campus will be hosting panels and allowing visitors to use its new residence hall. In exchange, Gess-Newsome said hosting the workshop allows students and faculty to network and learn from the visitors.
"It certainly helps us establish our brand," Gess-Newsome said. "It really brings attention to us around the state and region."
In addition to panels on the future of geothermal energy production and other topics, the attendees will visit the existing wells at the volcano, with an eye toward creating a proposal to drill even deeper, to 15,000 feet below the surface. The rock is hotter there and will create enough heat to make the energy source more viable. Schultz said a similar project has been attempted in Iceland, but never in the United States.
"There really is a sense of excitement over the projects at Newberry," Schultz said.
Schultz stressed that the project would not directly pave the way to commercial development but would yield a scientific paper that could potentially be used for future development on the site.
"It's not going to happen tomorrow; it's going to take a lot of investment," he said.

Legal Status
Document Details
Published Document
Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) [1] of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act") [2] and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,[3] notice is hereby given that, on August 5, 2011, NYSE Amex LLC (the "Exchange" or "NYSE Amex") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") the proposed rule change as described in Items I and II below, which Items have been prepared by the self-regulatory organization. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule Change
The Exchange proposes to amend NYSE Amex Equities Rule 80C, which provides for trading pauses in individual securities due to extraordinary market volatility, to extend the effective date of the pilot by which such rule operates from the current scheduled expiration date of August 11, 2011, until January 31, 2012. The text of the proposed rule change is available at the Exchange, the Commission's Public Reference Room, and http://www.nyse.com.
II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
In its filing with the Commission, the self-regulatory organization included statements concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The text of those statements may be examined at the places specified in Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant parts of such statements.Start Printed Page 50792
A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and the Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
1. Purpose
The Exchange proposes to amend NYSE Amex Equities Rule 80C, which provides for trading pauses in individual securities due to extraordinary market volatility, to extend the effective date of the pilot by which such rule operates from the current scheduled expiration date of August 11, 2011,[4] until January 31, 2012.
NYSE Amex Equities Rule 80C requires the Exchange to pause trading in an individual security listed on the Exchange if the price moves by a specified percentage as compared to prices of that security in the preceding five-minute period during a trading day, which period is defined as a "Trading Pause." The pilot was developed and implemented as a market-wide initiative by the Exchange and other national securities exchanges in consultation with the Commission staff and is currently applicable to all NMS stocks and specified exchange-traded products.[5]
The extension proposed herein would allow the pilot to continue to operate without interruption while the Exchange, other national securities exchanges and the Commission further assess the effect of the pilot on the marketplace or whether other initiatives should be adopted in lieu of the current pilot.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act"),[6] in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,[7] in particular, in that it is designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system, and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest. The Exchange believes that the change proposed herein meets these requirements in that it promotes uniformity across markets concerning decisions to pause trading in a security when there are significant price movements. Additionally, extension of the pilot until January 31, 2012 would allow the pilot to continue to operate without interruption while the Exchange and the Commission further assess the effect of the pilot on the marketplace or whether other initiatives should be adopted in lieu of the current pilot.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition
The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others
No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the proposed rule change.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action
The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act [8] and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.[9] Because the proposed rule change does not: (i) Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative prior to 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate, if consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest, the proposed rule change has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act [10] and Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder.[11]
A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) [12] normally does not become operative for 30 days after the date of filing. However, pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) [13] the Commission may designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposal may become operative immediately upon filing.
The Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest, as it will allow the pilot program to continue uninterrupted, thereby avoiding the investor confusion that could result from a temporary interruption in the pilot program. For this reason, the Commission designates the proposed rule change to be operative upon filing.[14]
At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
IV. Solicitation of Comments
Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of the following methods:Start Printed Page 50793

Today in Latin cuisine, i was able to make dulce de leche & rum sauce to go with crepes my friend, Alyssa made.
It was a fun process. Chef Vard joked me, calling me impatient, lol.
He might be right.
Anyway, i took a quart of milk and added 9 oz of sugar, brought it to a boil, then turned it down to a simmer.
As it simmers, stir occassnally, while it gets golden in color.
When sauce gets golden and thicker, remove from heat. Add 8 oz of heavy cream, return mixture to simmer. Remove from heat and add 2 oz of rum.
Incredible sauce. We paired it with pistachios and crepes. Tasted great!
Have a fun Friday, love ya!!!

What's the Big Idea?
When CBS's crime scene drama CSI became the most-watched show on TV in 2002, many other networks developed a crime scene drama of their own. This isn't much different from what happened in Elizabethan times, as certain genres such as histories or bloody revenge tragedies suddenly came into vogue, often based on the success of a particular stage production. One such trend-setting production was Thomas Kyd's The Spanish Tragedy (1587), a play that has long been noted for its influence on William Shakespeare's Hamlet. What hasn't been realized until recent times is the possibility that Shakespeare revised the play for a revival in 1599.
Sir Brian Vickers, a literary scholar and author of Shakespeare, Co-Author is out to change all of that. Sir Brian has applied the scientific method to attribution studies on Shakespeare, a field he says is too often driven by an "awful snobbery," the prejudice that because he came from a tradesman's family and only attended grammar school, not university, he was incapable of writing plays. Sir Brian has also caused quite a stir among another opposing camp--those who wish to cling to the Romantic view that Shakespeare worked entirely as a solitary genius. Sir Brian argued persuasively in his 2002 book that five plays in the Shakespeare canon are collaborations. In 2008, Sir Brian found Shakespeare's linguistic fingerprint in four scenes of The Reign of King Edward III, a play whose authorship has been disputed since it was printed anonymously in 1596.
In a recent interview with Big Think, Sir Brian explained his pioneering use of corpus linguistics and computer software to prove Shakespeare's co-authorship of additional scenes in The Spanish Tragedy.
What's the Breakthrough?
Sir Brian has employed software called Pl@giarism--a free program developed by Maastricht University to catch law students cheating on their written work--to search a database of the 58 different plays performed in London between 1580 and 1595. But Sir Brian isn't looking to catch anyone cheating. Rather, he is looking for examples of so-called "self-plagiarism." The Pl@giarism software identifies every occasion that a sequence of three words appears in Shakespeare's known works, and then looks for repetitions of these sequences in an unattributed text. Some of these word sequences are common, everyday collocations such as "by the way" or "Yes, my lord."
Excluding those phrases, Sir Brian focuses on word sequences that are unique to Shakespeare. For instance, the word sequence "eyebrows jutty over" appears only twice in all of Elizabethan drama. One instance is in Shakespeare's Henry V, written in approximately 1599. The only other instance is found in the fourth edition of Thomas Kyd's "The Spanish Tragedy," published in 1602. This version contains additions to five scenes, totaling 320 lines. In these short passages, Sir Brian found 46 collocation matches that are completely unique to Shakespeare's poems and plays written before 1596. That evidence is hard to argue with.
Yet some may ask why Shakespeare, the author of the greatest plays in the English language, would tinker with the works of a lesser playwright from a rival company. Given the success of The Spanish Tragedy in Elizabethan times, this should be no surprise at all. As Sir Brian notes, Shakespeare's theater company at the time--Lord Chamberlain's Men--was free to produce the play, and there is strong evidence that they likely did.* As Sir Brian explains, "it costs a lot less for a Broadway company to revise South Pacific and add a few show tunes than to commission a new musical." The same was true for the four competing theater companies in London who operated during the height of the Elizabethan theater boom. As the premier dramatist for Lord Chamberlain's Men, Shakespeare--like every other dramatist working at the time--was a collaborator.
Lesson plan:
Still not convinced? Sir Brian offers an "experiment" for you. Follow this link to the text of Edward III and read the first scene. After doing so, according to Sir Brian, you will most likely "feel that you're in for a long haul." (It's quite boring.) Then read the next three scenes, which are brilliant. Sir Brian says that's because Shakespeare wrote those three scenes, and another dramatist wrote the first one. Go ahead, see for yourself.
*The most convincing evidence links Richard Burbage, the leading actor in Lord Chamberlain's Men, to performances where he played Jeronimo, one of the principal characters in The Spanish Tragedy.

Any Retrojan product that requires more than basic assembly will always be accompanied by a comprehensive assembly manual. Please contact our customer service team to find out if this product requires assembly.
