This is rough, what the heck do I blog about when I am still sitting around in my candy-cane stripe PJ pants and my five dollar frankie says relax t-shirt and watching cable with barely ANY entertainment value?
Oh - that they just played music from one of the Mario Kart games in this Goldie Hawn episode of E True Hollywood Story.
Anways, the biz with me today:
My Name is Jen Paulson, and I'm an addict.
I think I am addicted to hyper-negative media. And the real culprit, my fix, my rock of crack is Gawker. I can't stop. It's like watching a television show - none of these people seem real to me - well except from the celebs and the terrifying Michael Musto as La Lohan as Marilyn Monroe cover for the Voice, et cetera - wait they don't really seem real to me either - and why the fuck should they, right? Ok - so that's that. A perfectly non-cohesive little rant that again, makes no sense to anyone but me. Please pardon the nonsensical nature of my blog.
---and now, adhd change of subject time-----
I found a fantastic write-up about Gygax over on Slate with Jonathan Rubin's article, Farewell to the Dungeon Master... He says it way better than I ever could. This is probably the weirdest thing to say, but with Gygax's death, I am reminded how much I love my super-nerd boyfriend. He is one of those guys to an excessive degree. He is also a super hero. It's true.
Speaking of Nerdcore - we're going to see MC Chris tomorrow. Fuck, I am going to have this song stuck in my head for the REST of the day.
and then she goes on a YouTube Favorites BINGE!!!!!!!
I actually miss playing WoW... whatever, haters, that game is fun.
Eye of the Tiger - scene from the amazing film Persepolis
this is, and I've probably mentioned this before, my power song.

T.D. Williamson Inc. Success Story
ice Contact Center for Lync / Skype for Business
With today's busy schedules, people's time is precious. If requests are not answered within a short period of time, be it through phone, email, SMS, Twitter, Skype, or Lync, customers will turn to other vendors or service providers. Businesses that use basic call management systems are often unable to support the modalities and offer the type of service customers have come to expect.
T.D. Williamson (TDW) is a global pipeline manufacturing and service company with a dedication to quality and extreme customer commitment. TDW has seen great success using Lync 2013 as a tool for communication, using it for global conferencing and internal communications. ComputerTalk's ice (Intelligent Communications Exchange) gave TDW the ability to use their existing Lync infrastructure to decrease response times and improve customer service in their internal help desk.
T.D. Williamson saw several benefits
- Faster Response Time
Immediate Information
TDW's internal help desk used a basic Avaya call management system to deliver customer service to internal employees. Unfortunately, the system did not provide TDW with the robust routing they needed. In some cases, auto-attendants routed calls inaccurately. The average response time was reportedly as high as half an hour and they were seeing an increasing number of abandoned calls. With no existing reporting system in place, they were unable to track customer call volumes and patterns, therefore unable to improve their customer service.
TDW uses Lync as their global conferencing solution and are in the process of converting their VoIP solutions to Lync Enterprise Voice. Therefore they demanded a contact center solution that would be able to fully integrate with Lync.
Faster response time
With ice effectively routing calls, customers are quickly directed to appropriately-skilled agents, increasing response time and decreasing the amount of abandoned calls.
Immediate information
With real-time monitoring and in-depth historical reporting, TDW can create reports and track the call abandonment rate. They are able to discover the causes of high response times and high abandon rates, design a solution to combat it.
Scalable to meet growing demands
ice is highly customizable enabling it to continuously meet the changing needs of the business. It is easy to modify queue and agent assignments. Also, it is easy to add new agents while retaining inactive ones for reporting continuity.
When TDW first saw ice contact center, they were "immediately impressed with its dynamic, customizable functions and features, as well as its technologically agnostic nature. [Having] a solution that provides this versatility allows options for future changes while protecting the investment on the long term," says TDW's IT system administrator, Drew Stuart.
After implementing ice on their internal IT helpdesk, they saw immediate results - their response time dropped to an average of 18 seconds within 72 hours of going live.
Because ice delivered what they needed, TDW is implementing ice in their external customer service/sales department. It will help them deliver quicker service to TDW customers. They are also planning to expand ice in multiple service centers.
ice contact center helped TDW improve their customer services by reducing response time and providing monitoring tools. This is just one of the ways ComputerTalk helps organizations use technology to improve their communications process.

Irealise I am treading on dangerous territory here. But, after all, taking risks is what Popular Mechanics people do. The subject of women in technology shouldn't be an issue in 2016. That it still is says something about perceptions of our roles in society. You know, the idea that some of us get our hands dirty and some of us are seen as decoration. Kind of like forwards and backs in a rugby team.
Although "Technology's Secret Weapon is Women" (page 43) focuses on Silicon Valley, its insights are pretty universal. It's a fact that women have been subtly – sometimes overtly – encouraged to seek other, ostensibly more appropriate roles than those traditionally designated for men. To overcome the glass ceiling, we note, you have to break things, think different, change the outlook. Disrupt. ( Disclaimer: I'm not talking about our overall roles in society, which is a debate for another day. And for a braver man than I.)
Speaking of risk-taking, the subject of our cover story is the quintessential Big Dream: the flying car. We've been writing about this most enduring topic for, well, more or less as long as Popular Mechanics has been around – since 1906. Ready for take-off? Go to page 32.
More down to Earth, the annual Science Lens competition encourages scientists to share their world with us through the medium of photography. Whether it's an iridescent vista, captured at microscopic level, or glowing pinpricks and swirls in a night sky celebrating the International Year of Light, these striking pictures give us a glimpse into an eerily beautiful, yet often unfamiliar, world. We took this opportunity to speak to the photographers themselves, to get a feel for what inspired them.
The image I was particularly drawn to was of the view through glass of the three scientists making notes on the glass itself, in the category Science in Action. Like outsiders, voyeurs even, we study an alien civilisation at work, yet at the same time it feels like we are participants in their world. By the way, the four category winners are all women. To underline the fact that science research in South Africa is alive and well, we feature some of this country's groundbreaking work in the area of lasers. It's worth reminding ourselves that this country is a pioneer in laser research and applications.
So much for what our scientific thinkers of today are working on. Importantly, this month also sees our initial focus on the world of younger Popular Mechanics readers and those who shape their thinking. We're not quite sure where this is headed yet, but we know this: our future is based to a large extent on how we cultivate our country's inventive and innovative young minds.
Finally, as I write this, I'm taking a break from work to undertake a particularly pleasing kind of adventure: the kind involving family, friends, a boat and a marathon through one of the world's great cities. Okay, perhaps not the marathon so much.

The beginning of the year is the time when most people make resolutions, vow to start fresh, and set goals for the the year. While many of these resolutions are personal in nature, it is also the perfect time to consider business resolutions.
With the final quarter having wrapped up in December, January not only represents a new beginning in the philosophical sense, but also in the physical sense. Reviewing the past years growth and statistics can help you create goals and strategies for 2016.
Here are a few ways to boost your business and watch it flourish in 2016:
Set Goals
One of the first things you can do to start the year off right is to create a list of business goals, including goals for each quarter and the year as a whole. Be specific when it comes to choosing your goals, as the only way you know you will have achieved them is if you can measure them. Vague goals are difficult to quantify, for there is so set precedent to exceed or match. Moreover, the more clear and concise your goals are, the easier it will be for you to find specific ways to meet them. For instance, instead of saying you hope to "grow your customer base," say how you intend to grow your customer base, such as "grow customer base through email." Now you have a quantifiable way to measure your success.
Build Relationships
Use 2016 as the year to build on your existing business relationships. Who did you meet with in 2015? Who did you work with? Are there companies or distributor incentive programs you would like to work with or join? Reach out to those who you met with in the previous year and begin working on functions or collaborations for 2016. It is never too early to make plans regarding the current year, as the calendar can fill up quickly, especially in terms of working with other companies.
Evaluate Performance
The beginning of the year is the prime time to evaluate performance—performance of employees, performance of past campaigns, and performance of yourself. Determining what worked and what failed in the past year can help you make the calculated and necessary changes for this current year. If certain marketing campaigns did well, consider utilizing them again for the next year. Conversely, if certain campaigns tanked, understand why in order to avoid making the same mistakes this year. If employees did not meet their numbers or struggled in certain areas, set up a meeting with them in order to nail down what the trouble was. Did you perform to the best of your ability? Could you have been more communicative?
All businesses will have weak points and strong points. Recognizing where those points are with your business can help you to regroup and refocus for this year.
Give Employees More Responsibility
Whether this is the second year of your business or the fifth, with each passing year of success you can slowly relinquish some of the day-to-day responsibilities into the hands of capable employees. Delegating tasks can be challenging, especially if you are a Type A personality. However, the more you can delegate, the more time you have to dedicate to other areas of business. Because the daily responsibilities can be incredibly time-consuming, being able to focus on more important business matters can help your business begin to grow to new heights.
What truly makes a business successful is the customers and clients who come back day after day. Many businesses make the mistake of not focusing enough on their customers, which can come back to haunt them. Think of ways you can reach your customers this year. What can you offer them to keep them loyal to your company for another year.
Integrate Technology
Start integrating technology more into your business. With each passing year, technology becomes more and more important in the world and with consumers. Let 2016 be the year you integrate technology into the office and into your business model by creating a mobile app, creating a website, honing in on social media marketing, and adding more online security to your business.
Using these tips can help your business to achieve optimal growth in 2016.

-- Critics
of the tax reform
bill put together by Republicans in Washington with no public hearings
complained that the bill is a travesty and will simply enrich the rich
and make
the middle class in this country poorer.
Former US Labor Secretary Robert
Reich claims the bill is
actually a classic Trojan Horse trick "that will pave the way for
cuts to education, health care and other programs."
The real goal of this tax reform plan, claims Reich and others, is to pull off a huge redistribution of wealth
-- over a Trillion dollars from the pockets of the middle
class, working
class and poor to the designer pockets of the rich.
Now a
top Republican fund-raiser in the state of
New York has quit his position in the state's Republican Party because
of that
tax reform bill.
Steve Louro, who has served as a
regional finance director
for New York's Republican Party, quit the position Tuesday, according
to The
New York Times.
During an interview with the
newspaper Louro blasted the bill, calling it "a
bill that's going to get
passed is not going to take care of the American people," Louro told
The Times.
"It's a disgrace. It's going to hurt a lot of middle-class
he said.
Louro once hosted
a fund-raiser for then-candidate Donald Trump and has
previously been a supporter of Republican candidates.
to a report earlier
this week by TheHill.com, "GOP
leaders are trying to gear their sales pitch toward middle-class
families. But
multiple analyses of the legislation have found that some families
could see a
tax hike, while other proposals in the bill like eliminating the estate
alternative minimum taxes would result in an expected windfall for the
ultra-wealthy. "

XPRIZE FOUNDATION at the FIRST® LEGO® League Global Innovation Award Ceremony
You are never too young to innovate…
The Award Ceremony for the FIRST® LEGO® League (FLL) Global Innovation Award presented by the XPRIZE Foundation was held on Thursday, June 16th, 2011, at the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) in Alexandria, VA. The Foundation was proud to be the Presenting Sponsor of the inaugural Global Innovation Award because its goal to encourage youth to create inventions to improve the lives of others had such strong alignment with the Foundation's mission to bring about radical breakthroughs for the benefit of humanity through incentivized competition.
The XPRIZE Foundation awarded the winning team, The Flying Monkeys from Ames, IA, with a $20,000 check to enable the team to patent their invention, the BOB-1 prosthetic hand device that is already improving the life of a three-year-old little girl, Danielle Fairchild, from Duluth, GA. The two runner-up teams are The 4th Motor from East Troy, MI, for their invention of a noninvasive glucose monitoring system complete with an iPad app, and the Blue Gear Ticks from Lincoln, MA, which created an unfurling bio-absorbable arterial stent for growing children.
Speakers addressing the 130+ attendees included Dean Kamen, Founder of FIRST and an XPRIZE Foundation Board of Trustee; David Kappos, the Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the USPTO; and Robert K. Weiss, Vice-Chairman & President of the XPRIZE Foundation. Following the award ceremony, representatives from each of the three teams led a Kid Inventor Panel where they answered questions about their inventions and experiences in the competition. All of the teams agreed that one of the main points learned had in the Body Forward Challenge was that kids really can make a difference. A key message throughout the ceremony was that youth are never too young to innovate.
XPRIZE Foundation Inspires Kids at FIRST® Championships
The XPRIZE Foundation attended the FIRST® Championship in Saint Louis, MO, April 26-30, to promote the FIRST® LEGO® League (FLL®) Global Innovation Award for which the Foundation is the presenting sponsor. The XPRIZE Foundation booth at the FIRST® Championship gave attendees insight into the current competitions as well as showcased the Foundation's education outreach initiatives including creating key chains in the form of DNA sequences in support of the $10 million Archon Genomics XPRIZE. Also featured in the exhibit was the world's largest LEGO DNA sculpture, the "Building Bricks of Life," commissioned by the XPRIZE Foundation. Created by famed brick artist, Nathan Sawaya, the sculpture stands just under seven feet tall.
The MoonBots Challenge exhibit, an education outreach program of the $30 million Google Lunar XPRIZE, displayed the two winning LEGO MINDSTORMS® robots from last year's competition. Literature about MoonBots 2.0, this year's competition, was available to build awareness and interest that challenges students, ranging from ages 9 – 18, to create simulated lunar rovers using LEGO bricks and MINDSTORM components. The Challenge is modeled after the real life rovers competing for the Google Lunar XPRIZE.
As a culmination of the FLL championship activities, XPRIZE Foundation Vice-Chairman and President, Robert K. Weiss, addressed the 4,000+ audience of FLL student teams, parents, sponsors and FIRST® representatives assembled at the FLL Closing Award Ceremonies. During his speech, he emphasized the importance of innovation and congratulated the teams on their success.

Northmont Youth Ministry
Northmont's youth group is a great place for students to experience true belonging. United in our love for Jesus Christ, our youth come together to hang out in fellowship, develop meaningful friendships, and explore their faith together. We provide a space for youth to begin and strengthen their relationship with Christ, explore what it means to be a Christian, and experience fellowship with others on the journey with them.
Sunday Program Information
Sunday School (9:00am)
All 6-12th graders are invited to the Youth Lounge for a time of Bible study and engaging discussion. During Sunday School we take a look at Biblical stories and work to figure out how they apply to our lives and what these stories might be saying to us today.
Youth Group (Sundays at 4:30pm)
Our youth group is composed of 6-12th graders pulling from numerous school districts. We enjoy a relaxed atmosphere where we can build meaningful friendships, play games, explore our faith together, and talk about how God is showing up and working in our lives. We hope to be a community where all feel welcome to come and be themselves.
Confirmation (will resume in the Fall)
Our Confirmation class is led by Rev. Ben Robbins and Steph Martin. In Confirmation, we explore God in Scripture, God in Church, and God in each of us. This class is an important part of the faith formation and exploration of any young person.
Special Event Information
Weekend-long retreats allow students to immerse themselves in Christian fellowship away from the hustle and bustle of their normal lives. Retreats give youth a chance to unplug from life and plug into their faith through worship, keynote speakers, small group discussion, and interactive learning. We participate in a variety of retreats throughout the year. Whether it involves high ropes adventures, color wars, playing in the snow, or late night discussions, each retreat offers a unique and meaningful experience for the students.
Mission Trips
Our Middle and High School students serve in a variety of urban and rural settings. Weeklong mission trips provide students with the opportunity to go outside of their comfort zones and serve others in an unfamiliar context. They have helped with a wide scope of mission work including building, painting, home repairs, and leading VBS. This summer our youth will be serving the communities in Gatlinburg, TN. In the past our students have served the communities of New Jersey (2015), Chicago, IL (2014), and Raleigh, NC (2013).

We've compiled a list of the most common Civil War Facts. From the start of the American Civil War, to the surrender of the last Confederate troops, there are plenty of facts to keep even the most-learned Civil War buff interested.
- The first shots of the American Civil War were fired at Fort Sumter in Charleston, South Carolina on April 12, 1861. At 4:30am, Confederate general P.G.T. Beauregard bombarded the fort defended by Union forces under Union Major Robert Anderson.
- Confederate batteries fired on Fort Sumter for 34 straight hours before the Union forces finally surrendered the fort by abandoning it.
- President Abraham Lincoln immediately called for 75,000 volunteers to be raised for 90 days to help defend Union forts from Confederate attacks.
- There were an estimated 625,000 men killed in the American Civil War on both sides.
- 365,000 of those killed fought for the Union and 265,000 for the Confederacy.
- Of the 365,000 killed on the Union side, only 140,414 were killed in action. Of the 265,000 killed on the Confederate side, only 72,524 were killed in action. The rest succumbed mostly to sickness and disease.

Noah LOVES Legos! I surprised him with a little set last week from the store. He was so proud and excited about his police car he built! He came in the kitchen asking me for my phone so he could take a picture. Later that night when he was in bed, I looked through my phone and he had taken like 15 pictures of his car, lol and a video!! I nicely deleted a few of them and kept a couple for him. Such a silly boy!!

The Actor
Simmons spent his early artistic career as an actor performing in everything from children's theater to extra work in films such as "Falling In Love," and "Muppets Take Manhattan." The range of material ran the gamut from Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar, to a sadistic killer in Titus Andronicus.
"It was always important to me to be challenged," Simmons said. "I also sought variety in the roles I chose. I needed to know that I would put 100 percent into everything I did, no matter the size of the audience or the part I played."

Weekly Quiz – Cloning is a Reproductive Trick of Nature, When Survival is Everything
Filed Under Fun
Many fish, amphibians and reptiles — have lots of reproductive tricks. 1) ___ can store sperm for a long time, tiding them over when conditions may be poor for reproduction. Another trick is the natural ability to clone. DNA analysis of seeming "miracle embryos" show that every bit of their 2) ___ simply came from the female. Virgin birth, known to biologists as 3) ___ (from the Greek, "parthen" meaning virgin or maiden and "genesis," beginning), has been seen in species over the years. Some lizards, like the Komodo Dragon, occasionally produce offspring by 4) ___. So do several species of fish, including a female hammerhead shark at the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha, Nebraska that produced offspring without a male in 2007. The shark example is particularly striking because sharks are very primitive living fish, having shared a common ancestor with us over 400 million years ago. Biological cloning is not a recent invention of scientists; it is an ancient ability, from nature. Sharks, fish and lizards are probably only the tip of the iceberg. We know of this 5) ___ cloning, only in those rare instances when we've been lucky enough to see it. Nobody knows how common it is because there has been no systematic search for the phenomenon. The big question that parthenogenesis raises is, if some females can get along without males, why does any species have males? The reason is that naturally cloned hatchlings are simply genetic duplicates of the mother. In a world of clones, there would not be enough variation for populations to adapt. Biological cloning is a great stopgap measure to ensure the survival of a species, but works against it in the long haul. Cloning is one of many mechanisms species use to 6) ___ in a dangerous world. Some reptiles do not determine gender genetically, but rely on different incubation temperatures to determine the development of males and females. Other creatures can actually switch gender during their lifetimes, being born male and developing as females. Still others can switch gender based on behavioral cues in the social group. However, without 7) ___, the world would be static and unchangeable, and species would gradually disappear as they failed to meet challenges like changing climates and environments.
ANSWERS: 1) Females; 2) DNA; 3) parthenogenesis; 4) cloning; 5) natural; 6) survive; 7) variation

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Evans District Curriculum
English Language Arts instruction in Evans schools is based on benchmarked New York State P-12 Common Core Learning Standards. These standards seek to develop students who are capable of reading a wide range of fiction and non-fiction texts closely and attentively. The standards also seek to develop students' abilities to use other literacy skills such as writing, critical thinking, and communicating effectively.
Math instruction in Evans schools is also based on the New York State P-12 Common Core Learning Standards. These standards seek to develop students who have a firm grasp of core mathematics concepts beginning in the earliest grades. By high school, full year courses in algebra and geometry require that students be able to handle complexity in problem solving. Career and technical classes are also available to students in high school who would like to explore different career fields such as programming, engineering, and culinary arts. With all of these options, students have a broad range of possibilities before them.
Testimonials and Case Studies from Our Parents
SchoolTutoring Academy has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was very self-conscious about her difficulties with the math section of the SAT. SchoolTutoring Academy's Academic Directors created an action plan that boosted my daughter's score and confidence level.
SchoolTutoring Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades. Test Prep Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades.
SchoolTutoring Academy Increased My SAT Score By 200 Points
My son's math marks in high school have always been weak so I found it very beneficial that his ACT tutor worked on solidifying his fundamentals while prepping for the ACT.
SchoolTutoring Academy gave my daughter the confidence she needed to boost her SAT score Thank you!
SchoolTutoring has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was able to improve her test scores after a few months of tutoring with SchoolTutoring. However, while raising test scores is great, the real payoff is in the self-confidence that she gained.
I just wanted to send a quick note to say thank-you! My son is very impressed with his tutor and looks forward to each session. What's particularly amazing about this is our son has never really looked forward to math or school for that matter!
We are so happy with the results of your tutoring program and academic support. Homework time was such a stressful evening for the entire evening before we brought your tutors into our home. Thank you for all your help!
Our daughter, a first grader, struggled with basic reading and handwriting. When she began with SchoolTutoring she was almost a year behind her class. Within a year of being enrolled, she is reading above her grade level and has the confidence to match.

Chalk Talk: Wearing Uniforms
Making kids wear school uniforms is like making them attend year-round school. It's an old "new idea" that enters the education discussion every once in a while and, according to supporters, promises to solve every problem a school can have. Uniforms can mitigate two problems that parents face. Talk to a kid who wears uniforms to school about popular brands and which clothes are and are not expensive and you will likely get a blank stare. A kid who has worn the same outfit every day for a large percentage of his or her life just does not think that way. That means that he or she is unlikely to beg his or her parents for expensive jeans or harass them until they buy him or her the shirt all the other kids are wearing. After all, he or she already has the shirt all the other kids are wearing. It's part of the uniform. A kid who wears a uniform to school is also less likely to argue about what to wear to school. That's because the kid knows that he or she will wear pretty much the same thing worn the day before, and it will be perfectly normal.

Home > Find Your Major > Jewish Studies
Jewish Studies
Jewish Studies at Vanderbilt offers an interdisciplinary academic program that facilitates the critical study of Jewish history, religion, language, philosophy, politics, culture, society, music, art, and literature. The program uses the resources of the entire University to explore Jewish culture and its evolution and expression from biblical times to the present. Jewish Studies is a particularly worthwhile and effective area of study within a liberal arts education, but also offers many points of entry to other academic disciplines. It is integral to understanding major moments in the formation of Christianity and Islam as well as distinct episodes in the history and literatures of the modern Middle East, Europe, and America.
Students of all backgrounds will find in Jewish Studies at Vanderbilt a wide array of material and methodologies, presented by scholars of exceptional teaching ability. . To sharpen their grasp of the field, students may utilize the fine resources of the Zimmerman Judaica collection as well as the opportunity to study abroad in Prague and Israel, pursue internships locally or nationally, do research in archives overseas, or participate in archaeological excavation at Megiddo, Israel. Students will also benefit from the program's lively schedule of visiting scholars, lectures, and conferences that aim to explore multiple perspectives current in the study of Judaism.
Students shape their 30-hour major or 18-hour minor in Jewish Studies around their own interests. Majors and minors take a foundational course, Introduction to Jewish Studies, and majors develop proficiency in Hebrew or another language associated with the Jewish people during the course of their long history. Students select courses from four subfields of study: Biblical Studies, Antiquity and Medieval Thought, Modern and Contemporary Experience, and Culture, Philosophy, and Literature.
By combining their Jewish Studies major with coursework at Peabody College, students can prepare for careers in Jewish education, community development, public policy, counseling, and organizational leadership.
After Vanderbilt
The interdisciplinary nature of Jewish Studies provides an excellent academic foundation for a variety of rewarding career paths including professional schools, such as law, medicine, and business, and public administration, government service, education, communal service, Foreign Service, ministry, and rabbinate, as well as graduate studies in religion, international relations, history, literature, foreign languages, classics, social work, social science, and education. It sharpens the analytic, linguistic, textual, and methodological tools necessary for advanced research and teaching.
The faculty members in the Program in Jewish Studies represent a wide range of disciplines, including history, anthropology, sociology, religious studies, philosophy, literature, and art. Recent faculty publications include analyses of Jesus' parables, of Maimonides' texts, of Jewish life in the Ottomon Empire, even of the history of Jews and dogs, among many others.

Thanks For The Memories
Day 218 in my "Year In My Life Through Pictures" blog series
Chandra came across this local paper today while looking through some things she had put back when Matthew was a baby. This came out in 1993, so that was almost 18 years ago. Matt would have been 2 1/2 at the time and Chandra was sporting a Little Caesars uniform. This was still when we were together when Matt was young and Little Caesars was a staple for us then. Maybe that's why we have such an affinity for pizza now.
It's cool to look back through things from the past, it seems to stir emotions from days gone by and bring memories back that haven't been thought about in a long time. It was cool to look through and see a pair of shoes that Matt wore when he was a toddler and see some Star Trek memorabilia from yesteryear. There was also some things from Chandra's baby years stashed away in the storage container.
I am very thankful to the Lord for seeing us through the years. We had a relationship young in life and had a child, split up and got back together and got married. We were both unconverted through our lives, even though I was banking on a prayer at 8 years old for my salvation and she on being a Catholic. God saw us through and allowed us to be married. We were both converted after we were married and God has seen us through every step. I am so thankful for my wife and love her more and more each day. God's gift to me, in Chandra, is more than I could ever deserve. We may have our squabbles here and there, but that is to be expected. I love my wife and can not fathom a day without her. I am happy to be sharing everything with her.
We will be celebrating our 8th wedding anniversary in a little of a week. It seems like a much shorter time as our years fly by. We are expecting our first grandchild in June, much earlier than we anticipated, but we are both very excited. I amazingly look to God as the days pass at the grace and mercy He shows us. If not for His love for me I would never be able to love my wife the way I should. I fail miserably a lot and I constantly look to the cross for my strength. As Christ loves His church I strive to love my wife (Ephesians 5:25). An impossible feat, but a worthy goal.

Its Story
I have worked closely with interior designers since 1994 through Savel, my to the trade textile company, and am in awe of their ability to orchestrate the countless details that go into creating a beautiful space.
However, there's one part of the design process that has always struck me as needlessly cumbersome - photo management. I've watched so many designers scroll frantically through their iPhone photos, looking back for that one shot - the one piece they saw, in that one showroom, on that one day, that they thought would be perfect for that one project - that immediately got buried somewhere in their thousands of other images. I couldn't help but think that there had to be a better way...
Now, there is To the Trade!
To the Trade is an app that makes designers' lives easier by providing a simple way to take, tag, search for, and find their photos while they are on-the-go. To the Trade keeps the photos from each stage of a project easy to find and share - from inspiration to installation.
A big thank you to the many designers to who helped me brainstorm, develop, tweak, and perfect To the Trade - and ultimately bring it to life.
Happy Tagging!
-Andrea Elish

Recruiter Placement
Recruiting quality people is hard. Jason and Tricia practice what they preach which is why the techniques are so powerful. Both run full desks, make placements, and constantly test the skills in their repertoire. Nothing is theory. All of it is derived from practical application.
With over 25 years in search and placement, combined with 5 years training recruiters, they can find and attract the right recruiters for your needs. They will take you through an exhaustive discovery process and learn exactly the type of person you need. Once they find them, and you hire, Jason and Tricia train them in the most progressive techniques in the industry. All as part of the service.
Whether you run an agency or a corporate recruiting department, having the right recruiters in place has a tremendous impact on the bottom line. This isn't a cheap service. Jason and Tricia don't charge a percentage of salary or even estimated earnings. Once they've completed discovery, they give you a flat fee for the hire. You pay $5000 to engage, another $5000 when they start, and the remainder of the fee at 90 days. They want you to realize the results before making the rest of the investment.
Sometimes people don't work out. If a bad choice was made, cut them loose. You owe nothing more; Jason and Tricia will start over. If you want to replace them, they waive the $5000 engagement fee on the next one. No one makes perfect hires all the time.

As panelists gathered for the December installment of Leadership Austin's ENGAGE breakfast series, everyone agreed that the issue of affordability in Austin is complicated and all but impossible to solve in the short-term.
Panelists Brian Kelsey (Civic Analytics), Frances Ferguson (HousingWorks Austin), and Chris Bradford (Land Development Code Advisory Group) discussed ways that Austin can work to keep the city affordable amid very rapid growth that shows no signs of slowing down. The discussion was moderated by KXAN anchor Robert Hadlock.
Kelsey pointed out that Austin is a much wealthier city than it was 12 years ago. In 2000, one in seven households had an income of $100,000 or more. Today, it's one in four, and that statistic is a reflection of the fundamental demographic changes that are happening in a city that's gaining 60,000 residents a year.
"We constantly need to figure out—with land economics going this way, which tends to really throw up housing costs—how we keep both the low end and the low-middle end served in our housing stock," said Ferguson. "And that's going to take some very creative policies."
Panelists discussed multiple ways to address housing affordability, including facilitating new construction, preserving existing housing stock, using creative loan programs to create and sustain an affordable stock of homes, raising wages, and improving education and workforce training for high-wage jobs.
But probably the most effective solution is one of the most tedious and complicated pieces of the puzzle: the re-write of the Land Development Code in Austin.
CodeNEXT is an initiative to revise the Land Development Code, which determines how land can be used throughout the city—including what can be built, where it can be built, and how much can (and cannot) be built. The process is a collaboration between Austin's residents, business community, and civic institutions to align land use standards and regulations with what is important to the community.
Bradford noted that the housing stock in Austin must increase to meet rising demand as 150 people move here each day who need a place to live. However, the current code in Austin was written 30 years ago and has been amended many, many times since to become a complicated document that severely restricts the types of housing that can be built in the city.
Notice how many enormous new apartment complexes are going up on Lamar and Congress and Burnet? Bradford pointed out that the code is written in such a way that these are often the only types of projects allowed for those areas. The current code makes it very difficult to build all types of housing for all types of people needed in a city with diverse incomes and needs.
"There's no breathing room to build small, multi-family buildings," said Bradford. "It's very difficult—unnecessarily difficult—to even build things like garage apartments in central neighborhoods. One of the things we should be focusing on is making it easier to build small infill projects: garage apartments, making it easier to build duplexes, making it easier to build small multifamily buildings, to build four-plexes or six-plexes. Those can be added all over the place and provide a kind of invisible density that will be an important source of new supply."
Bradford and Ferguson both also advocated for policies that preserve existing multifamily properties. Housing units built in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s are a lot more expensive in Austin than in Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio. While that should be where affordable housing exists, demand is high enough to keep prices high.
As part of HousingWorks Austin, Ferguson has worked on projects that create affordable housing in central neighborhoods through shared appreciation programs. Homeowners who buy an affordable home can't just flip it to sell it at market value and pocket the profit, and this approach allows a stock of affordable homes to stay in the market through multiple sales in the future.
She pointed to the Mueller redevelopment as a great example of this type of housing, and she encourages all city leaders and policy makers to take tours of these homes that are integrated into central neighborhoods.
|Mueller Illustrative Plan (click here for a larger version)
"When people see the solutions that Austin has, they change their mind," said Ferguson. "Because the picture that they have in their mind is something they built in the '70s. And the solutions Austin has are remarkable, are effective, are well-managed, and when they see that, the other thing they understand is that they can put this kind of housing in every part of town and not have a problem at all. In fact, it becomes an asset in their communities in terms of being able to have a mix of homes to serve their workforce. And the third thing they begin to understand is this notion of all kinds of homes in all parts of town."
But beyond finding ways to lower housing costs, Kelsey pointed out the need to address ways to increase wages for residents. He advocated raising the minimum wage and noted that improving schools goes beyond more funding.
"We need a different mindset in how we educate and train future workers," said Kelsey. "I would like to see a different conversation about the role of career and technical education to prepare people for high-wage job opportunities here. We need to figure out ways to make education and workforce training work better for more of our residents."
Though the panelists approach the issue of affordability through different lenses and with different solutions, all agree that the housing issue must be addressed now if the city wants to maintain its character.
"Housing is the only way you have an integrated city," said Ferguson. "It is the only way. Busing people around is not an integrated and diverse city."

Roughly 10 million people are diagnosed with Fibromyalgia today, I am one of those people. Although 9 out of the 10 people diagnosed are women, men also get this disorder. Fibromyalgia is not life-threatening and does not reduce life expectancy but, I as well as others with this syndrome will tell you we are extremely sensitive to pain due to this incurable chronic and long term condition.
Fibromyalgia symptoms include widespread pain, fatigue, headaches, irritable bowel syndrome, inability to get refreshing sleep, waking up tired and stiff, developing cognitive disturbances; including lack of concentration, clumsiness, dizziness as well as depression. There are even more symptoms being discovered, above is just the primary short list.
There are published studies that have related the pain in Fibromyalgia to weather changes. Some studies report that barometric pressure affected fibromyalgic pain positively while yet others find no association. I can attest with my very own experience that it does positively affect my pain levels as well as my grump meter.
When I lived in Southern Indiana, I experience a lot of different weather. The heat and humidity of Summer, the cooler, damper weather of Fall, the incredible cold of Winter, and the amazing season called Spring. The cold, the rain, the humidity, snow, and basically any change in the weather will affect my pain. Now I live in Northeast Florida and even though we don't experience snow down here, we do still experience season changes – summer is the hardest one on me now. Let me break it down a bit:
When it rains, or even if it's just cloudy and the air is more moist, it increases my pain all over. At times, this forces me to take pain meds, but I work hard to avoid them when possible. I love rainy days; the sound and smell, but my body rebels. That's when the heating pads come out. Since we just got out of Summer, I'll start there. In order to escape the hot and humid weather, I try to stay in an air-conditioned space. For me, the majority of that time is in my bedroom. If the air is too cold my legs and hips experience increased pain. When I lived by myself I was constantly adjusting the temperature to minimize the pain. Can't so much do that now though since I'm not the head of the household anymore. However, if it's too warm, I will tend to feel weaker and nausea. It's a constant battle with temperature.
I absolutely loved the first snow of the season! It's beautiful and so sparkly white. My pain level soars in the cold and dampness of winter though. It can become a deterrent and distraction from the things I want/need to do. Warm blankets and heating pads become my constant companions. It can be so frustrating not enjoying the beauty of winter due to the distraction of pain.
I really enjoy watching a good thunder and lightning storm … it's exciting and dangerous at the same time. The pain it causes reminds me of having the flu and every area of my body hurts. If you've ever experienced all over pain due to fever or illness, multiply that pain by about 5 and you'll come close to the pain I experience.
In recent studies, some patients with fibromyalgia have reported that they are more sensitive to changes in the weather. The study also found that patients who had been diagnosed with fibromyalgia for less than 10 years had significantly greater weather sensitivity for pain. I personally don't feel a difference from early on to today. I still hurt.
Just know that pain robs me and my fellow spoonies of enjoying the various seasons along with many other things we all once enjoyed. We are simply shells of our former selves attempting to still gather strength to continue on and smile through the pain. Just as the seasons change, pain changes us as well.

I am a Canadian photojournalist interested in topics of spirituality, travel, ancient sites and Celtic history.
One of the key elements in my ebooks is nature as I find that a way to connect to the spiritual side of people. Whether fiction or nonfiction, we can all relate to the trees, sun and sky.
I also like writing stories about my grandchildren Shannon and Ally who are growing up faster than I can write!

Surfing Etiquette: 5 Surf Rules Everyone Should Know
January 26th, 2011
The ocean looked flat here in Tamarindo, but the intermediate group got some fun waves at Playa Grande(which is only a ten minute boat ride). Waves were in the waist to chest high range and conditions were great.Definitely worth it to jump in the ocean. The water was crystal clear and the wind was off-shore. Just the way we like it! Looks like the surf is going to continue to be mellow for the next couple days. Maybe a tiny bit bigger. So come by tomorrow to stay updated!

Easy, breezy, comfy and uncluttered, our ground-floor condo at Ocean Village Club R11 puts you within steps of an oceanview swimming pool and a private walkway to the beach. Come see how freewheeling life at the beach can really be! Plus, this condo has free wifi Internet right inside.
Step out of the warm sun and into the living room, and you feel as though you've reached a cool, friendly oasis. Smooth tile floors caress the feet, while our handsome bamboo accented furnishings reinforce the impression of a tropical retreat. The large couch unfolds into a bed that sleeps 2 . . . not counting the double duty it does with nappers at all times of day! There's nothing like stretching out on this sofa and gazing at the blue sky as you feel your eyes closing.
Our brand new 32 HDTV, DVD player, and VCR are perfect for watching your favorite shows, games, and movies. And if you like to play board games and cards, our dining table is going to see a lot of action this vacation! It seats 4 comfortably, 6 in a pinch, and is well-lighted -- just what you need for that cutthroat Monopoly battle! Of course, you can actually serve meals on it too, which is where the handy pass-through counter in the kitchen comes into play.
Whether your style of cooking is gourmet or short-order, our kitchen is equipped with everything you need to keep the family fed without spending too much time at the stove. Full-sized appliances make it easy to stock up just once at the grocery store, and all the countertop labor-savers -- the microwave, coffee maker, blender, and toaster -- get you in and out of the kitchen faster than ever. We've got a full complement of cookware, dishes, and utensils, too, so don't worry about bringing a thing. There's even a stacked washer and dryer for those emergency loads of wet towels!
Pamper yourself this vacation in our master bedroom, with its luxurious king-sized bed, LCD TV, two windows (in case you want to be awoken by the spectacular sunrise one morning), and an en-suite master bathroom. The bathroom is spacious and well-appointed too, with a large walk-in shower.
The second bedroom is light and cool as well, featuring a queen-sized bed, plenty of closet and bureau space, and a TV. The second bathroom is convenient to this bedroom, rounding out Ocean Village Club R11 neatly.
Except for one thing: our wonderful lanai, just off the living room. This screened-in outdoor room is well shaded by leafy growth on one side, with a nice view of grassy space. Sit or lie on our long bench and let the ocean breeze play over your skin! When you're in the lanai, you'll never forget that the mighty Atlantic is just yards away, enticing you to walk its shores and splash in its waters.
And it's easy to do just that without ever leaving the Ocean Village Club complex. Our private beach access is just steps from your door, leading you right over the dunes and down to the sand. St. Augustine Beach is glorious, with wide sands, a family-friendly atmosphere, and big rolling waves. Whether you're a beachcomber or a sunbather, a boogie-boarder or a kite-flyer, you'll find plenty to love on our beach.
The Ocean Village Club complex is designed for fun as well. At R11 you're very close to one of the swimming pools, which boasts a splendid ocean view and plenty of poolside lounging space. There is a second pool as well, which is heated in winter. And if you enjoy sports and exercise, there are two clay tennis courts, shuffleboard courts, and a fitness center right here at the complex. Our Clubhouse also contains a lending library, a guest computer, and a big event room with two decks and a full kitchen -- just right for that family reunion or other big function.
And for day trips, historic St. Augustine is minutes away, with fine restaurants and shopping as well as sightseeing. Orlando is less than a 2-hour drive in one direction, while Daytona is even closer in another. You'll find plenty to do in this part of Florida, and you can look forward to comfort and relaxation.
Why my place is great for a pet?
With such an ideal location and fantastic parks and beaches, why not bring your pets, too?
Activities and Attractions
Just minutes away from : Historic Saint Augustine Florida with the old Spanish Fort, living history museum, cobble stone streets thru old town loaded with shops and restaurants, deep sea fishing, boat and jet ski rentals with sunset sailing. Along with many attractions such as The Alligator Farm, Ripley Believe It Or Not museum, Flagler College, Ghost tours, The Fountain of Youth, Potters Wax Museum, Lightner Museum, The Old Jail, Lighthouse and Museum, and many more... Nearby are outlet malls, World Golf Village, Marineland, Daytona Beach and The Kennedy Space Center.

I have been known to run in races. I ran one today. It was a 10k in a wine cellar and limestone mine. I did pretty well considering I haven't been so focused on running.
The one thing after races that always bothers me is I sink very low afterwards. Sometimes I get kind of hysterical. I seem to forget until it happens. I've run so many longer, tougher races that I didnt think it would hit me like this.
Between the news and all the pain I see on the internet, I'd really like to fall out of a window in the least suicidal way possible and give someone my life.
I will not fall out of a window. I have dogs to take care of and a life to deal with. I just am trying to find the line between staying engaged in my civic duty and trying to donate where I can and write letters and sign petitions, but not let all of it eat me up.
But it eats at me. I'm so far away and its hard to feel connected to my country. So much of the pain is so intense and it doesn't have to be this way and yet it is. I feel like my heart is being squeezed by a demon. And sometimes it goes away for awhile and then there is another death or terrible thing and it comes back.
And, I have no right to feel this way.
