In this post I showed how I made a copper plate etching and mentioned that I had also made a rubber stamp print of the same image and text – well here it is. This was one of the most difficult stamps I had carved (until I carved one this weekend! More about that soon 🙂
I mainly wanted to talk about the difference in the 2 processes – Copper plate etching and Rubber Stamp. I really like that copper plate etching and the course at Cardiff Print Workshop but enjoyed cutting the rubber stamp more. I think this is because I don't like being out of control and at the whim of chemicals and presses. Because I hand carve the stamp if there is a mistake it's mine – I am not at the mercy of something going wrong with the plate, chemicals and lots of other permutations. Maybe this is because I can be very impatient? But then there are those that tell me they wouldn't have the patience to carve a stamp 🙂
I then cut the SpeedyCarve away from the main block. You can also see my practice wings stamped on the bit of paper on the top.
In this picture you can see that I have just cut part of the outline of the bat.
This picture shows the rest of the wings gradually being carved.

So tell me, why are YOU here?
Obligatory Blogging.
So tell me, why are YOU here?
Gentri says
You, missy, are a lifestyle blogger. 🙂 We blog about life, all of it's adventures- good and bad, and whatever else you feel like. It's the best kind of blogger to be. :)I totally understand how you feel. Never let blogging be a chore, that's when it isn't fun anymore.
Anna says
My cake pops looks a lot like yours! Those little suckers are HARD to make!
I agree 100% with you, if you keep it fun, you won't get burnt out. 🙂 It can be a great personal outlet.
Love this, shane! Keep it up 🙂 If you're not blogging for you… it's no fun! You're awesome 🙂
I wrote a few posts on this same thing lately! You should never feel obligated to blog 🙂 We'll all still be here the next day or the day after that! I used to think I needed to blog everyday now but then I believe in quality over quantity and I only blog when I am "in the mood" because I think that's when I write the best.
Little Notebook says
Love this post! I could not agree with you more! I am lucky if I can make mac and cheese without getting the macaroni stuck to the bottom of the pan or if I can sew a button on a coat…not really a crafty or creative in my body. I love blogging but I am done with trying to gain an audience. The most successful bloggers seem to be the ones who are just genuine about who they are and what their life is about…like NieNie or Michelle at Oh, Mishka. And you! I love your blog! And I'm happy to hear I'm not alone on this topic 🙂
Have a great week 🙂
Little Notebook says
whoops I meant to say there's not really a crafty or creative *bone in my body
Rebecca says
I am 100% on the same page. Thanks for sharing this – I thought I might be the only one!
Remy Hadley says
I love this. If more people were like JUST BE YOU. I don't think blogging would turn into such a chore. Just go with the flow. If you need to take a break to refresh, TAKE IT. I wish more people would understand that we'll still be here when ya get back.

ms.composure says
stumbled onto your blog and just wanted to leave you a little blog luv! i totally agree!! blogging should be for fun and because YOU want to. it is all about a balance. i even take "media time outs" once a week. one day of no internet and it is AMAZING. i think as long as you stay grounded things work out fine
Katie says
i like this post! and my favorite blogs are a mix of everything!!
Melissa says
I love this post & couldn't agree more! My blog started out for me, so it is important to remember that I don't need to be blogging constantly! 🙂
Sierra says
Sometimes I feel this way too.
I originally started my blog for ME. To get some thoughts on paper, as like a journal. I love to write and I just wanted to write: my opinions, thoughts, and feelings. I find that I am focused more on others now too. When really, I should keep doing it for me. Thank you for reminding me. Seriously. I write some pretty deep, emotional, heavy, funny, crazy, silly, fun things. And thats how I like it. So I need to go back to that! Haha.
Oh, Just Living the Dream
Tanya says
Totally agree! I also see a lot of bloggers out there desperate for people to follow their own blog and promote their own stuff. But, I like to see it as more of a community of people to learn and be encouraged and inspired by. I follow your blog because I love to read what you have to say, regardless of how often you write, what you write about, how many followers or comments you have, etc. So you should definitely always have fun an enjoy sharing whatever it is that you have to share.
Gina says
Sometimes I feel like blogging is obligatory too. But really, you're right. You're blogging for yourself, and that's the best way to do it. Nothing is better than representing who we really are. Let's be true to ourselves and not blog only for readers but for ourselves. I love this post and I love the "keep calm and blog on"! Thanks for sharing this 🙂
xo, gina
Anna Smith says
I totally agree. I see people sometimes try to tell others how a blog should be done, but this is your space to do as you please. I don't think there are any right or wrong ways to blog; just be you! P.S: Have nominated you for the versatile blogger award:)
Universal Gibberish
Katie says
Amen girlie. I many times feel like my blog isn't good enough or lots of times I feel bad if I don't blog. But I really have nothing to post. So why am I going to bore people with something that I don't even care about just to get a post up for them. Pointless. A little reminder to blog for yourself is always needed 🙂 Thanks
Anne says
Hi! Found your blog on the IBlog4Me community and just felt I had to comment. You're right, blogging should be fun and never a chore. I blog because I like to write. Also, it allows me to share my thoughts and insights to those who'd want to listen. Love this post!
Love it! I wish the exact same thing about my friends.. And they make the same comment, I don't know how or I wouldn't be good. Who cares, its for yourself duh!
Nikkiana says
I've been blogging for many many years now, and one of the things I've learned is that it's just not worth it to force it. For me, blogging is a fun thing that I do for myself, first and foremost. I enjoy doing things to grow my readership and connecting with the people who read my blog, but at the end of the day… I don't blog for them, I blog for myself and if I don't feel like writing, I don't force myself to.
p.V.e says
I am loving this post! I actually just took an accidental couple of weeks break from blogging because of my hectic schedule! I missed the blogging world so much! I just knew I had to take care of things before I blogged. I completely agree that it should be fun and not a chore which is why I decided to take a step back for a little–if I didn't I knew I would feel it was like a chore and I did not want that to happen!
Tulip TrueAim says
I mainly follow kid blogs and mommy blogs, but I love what you said in this post. Sometimes I feel the same way, like I have to post SOMETHING! So, I am following your blog for me, for my own personal enjoyment. Whatever your blog is about 🙂 I can't wait to read more.
Betty Taylor says
I do feel obligated some days, but when I actually start writing, that changes.

Seiko Kinetic Watches
Seiko kinetic watches
Seiko is one of the most recognized and innovative watch manufacturers in the world. In 1998, the company introduced the Seiko Kinetic watch that showed the technological potential of the world-renowned corporation. Kinetic is a product of advanced watch-making technology. What sets it apart from other watches is the fact that it is powered by movement and not by winding or batteries nor by light. This makes the mechanism of the watch unique. This is the reason why this watch is popular not only to watch enthusiasts but also to those who can appreciate the intelligent application of modern technology. And because it is powered by a renewable source, Seiko Kinetic is considered as one of the most environmental watches in the market today.
How it works
Seiko Kinetic watches use kinetic energy or the energy that is produced by movement. People move all the time and thus they constantly produce energy. This means that every time you wear this watch, you charge it with kinetic energy. The kinetic energy stored in the capacitor present in the watch and is converted into electrical energy which is then used to power the motor inside the watch. The capacitor serves as a form of rechargeable battery. So unlike solar-powered watches, Kinetic watches work even in total darkness. As long as your wrist are moving, energy is being harness by Seiko Kinetic.
Utmost convenience
Since it was launched almost 20 years ago, the Kinetic line has been the best-selling line among all Seiko watch models. The main reason why the Kinetic became an instant hit among consumers is due to the convenience it provides. Since it does not use batteries, Kinetic watches are virtually maintenance-free. The fact that you won't have to buy batteries ever will save you money. And because Kinetic watches do not have batteries that need replacing, the watch is vacuum sealed. This means that there is no danger of dust getting inside to affect the mechanism of the watch.

U.S. extends Iran sanctions relief while also bemoaning behavior
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration on Thursday extended sanctions relief to Iran, avoiding imminent action that could implode the landmark 2015 nuclear deal, even as President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson accused Tehran of not respecting the entire agreement.
The extensions of the waivers on nuclear sanctions, first issued by the Obama administration, were accompanied by new penalties imposed against 11 Iranian people and companies accused of supporting Iran's ballistic missile program or involvement in cyber-attacks against the U.S. financial system.
The combination of steps — known internally as "waive and slap" — came as the administration nears completion of a monthslong review of its Iran policy that is expected next month, perhaps as early as October 15 when Trump must inform Congress if Iran is complying with the terms of the nuclear agreement and whether the deal remains in U.S. national security interests.
In comments to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump repeated his campaign pronouncement that the deal is bad and again said he believes Iran is violating its terms and spirit.
"The Iran deal is one of the worst deals I've ever seen," he said. "Not a fair deal to this country. It's a deal that should have never ever been made. You'll see what we're doing ... it's going to be in October."
"We are not going to stand for what they are doing to this country," Trump said. "They have violated so many elements but they have also violated the spirit of that deal."
Speaking in London at a joint news conference with British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson., Tillerson told reporters the administration's approach to Iran could not be determined on the basis of the nuclear accord alone.
"We must take into account the totality of Iranian threats, not just its nuclear capabilities," he said, citing obligations to uphold regional and international security.
"Iran is clearly in defiance of these obligations," Tillerson said, pointing to its support of Syrian President Bashar Assad's government, cyber activity and testing of ballistic missiles.
The White House did not issue a statement announcing the extension of the sanctions waivers and left it to the State Department to make the move public.
At the State Department, spokeswoman Heather Nauert recited a litany of what she called provocative and belligerent Iranian actions that she said demonstrated Iran's malign behavior.

In hydroponics, LED hydroponics light is the most recommended type of light source because it gives superior contribution to hydroponic plant growth. It does not only give favorable lighting for hydroponic plants because of the precise light energy it produces but it is also an economical and very easy to maintain. Because of the accurate light that it gives hydroponic plants, the harvests are said to be healthier and more nutritious. This type of grow light consumes less power because it does not require ballasts and produces just a fraction of the heat of high intensity discharge lamps. This is why more and more growers prefer to use it.

It is no secret that mobile marketing is essential in marketing your business. Everywhere you look; there is a mobile phone being used to accessing the Internet, texting, emailing and yes, making calls. If you do not have a mobile marketing campaign, you are losing potential revenue. On the other hand, if your mobile campaign is not successful, you are going to lose revenue.
There are many possible reasons your mobile marketing strategy might not be working. The following reasons are some of the most common mistakes that can ruin a mobile campaign. Use these to evaluate your own campaign and make corrections that generate more traffic to your business.
1. No contact or action information: If you want people to reach your business through mobile marketing, you have to target them specifically. It has been proven time and again that mobile users who search for a business or service on their smart phone are ready to either call the business or purchase online. If your business shows up in the search but does not have an action, such as "contact us" or "enter your zip code for locations", you are wasting your time and the consumers. Your mobile ad should not send users to your regular website; it should reach a landing page customised for mobile users.
2. Purchasing sales leads: This should not have to be included in this list; however, there continues to be marketing coordinators who buy cell phone numbers in order to target them with sales. You do not want to waste your marketing budget on a list that may not be anywhere near your target audience. Gather your own list from your website or business inquiries.
3. Over use of text marketing: No one wants to get a text message at 2 A.M. with a discount offer on tires. Overuse of text marketing, and sending them at inappropriate times, can actually hurt your business. Keep texts to a minimum and only during business hours.
4. Discounts, promotions and offers: If your mobile marketing campaign does not have an offer or promotion, you are losing revenue. Make sure you are offering the consumer something for their time and patronage.
5. Asking for too much information: Mobile devices are not always the easiest to use for inputting information. If you are mobile campaign asks the user too many questions, or for too much information, they will most likely find another business. All you really need is an email address so that you can reply to their inquiries.
6. Opt out and privacy notices: Today's mobile consumer is savvier than you might think. You should make sure you have an opt-out option and that your privacy policy is easy to read and find.
7. QR Codes: QR codes can be found practically everywhere. However, if your QR code does not take the user to a landing page with relevant information or an action, you are wasting time.
These are just seven of the biggest makes you can make in your mobile marketing campaign. There are many more blunders that can cause failure. If you have a mobile campaign mistake, and you would like to share, use the comment box and send me your thoughts. I would love to hear from you.

The bright orange postcard is easy to spot on display at souvenir shops that dot Avalon: "Help! I'm marooned on Catalina Island."
Goofy keepsake for most visitors, but for Avalon resident Jorge Rodriguez, 28, an illegal immigrant and construction worker who's lived on the island since he was a teenager, the card's gag has an uncanny note of accuracy.
"You can't go there anymore," Rodriguez said, gesturing north to the mainland. "Since they started checking los IDs, everyone's afraid."
Avalon's sizable Latino community has been abuzz for months with stories and rumors of periodic documentation checks by U.S. Coast Guard and immigration officials on the ferries that connect Avalon to the mainland, where workers go for cheaper food, medical care, family visits and to spend their wages at Southern California theme parks.
For generations, the Spanish-speaking locals have called the mainland "el otro lado," the other side, borrowing a phrase more commonly used to refer to the U.S.-Mexico border. But for some, the 22 miles of sea that separate Avalon from mainland Los Angeles really has become a border, one that many are wondering whether they'll ever risk crossing again.

Brandon Sanderson Quotes About SoldiersQuotes about: Soldiers
I'm an amalgamation of what I've needed to be. Part scholar, part rebel, part nobleman, part Mistborn, and part soldier. Sometimes I don't even know myself. I had a devil of a time getting all those pieces to work together. And, just when I'm starting to get it figured out, the world up and ends on me.
Yelling a battle cry—more to motivate himself than frighten his foes—Lukel grabbed the table leg and swung it at a soldier. The wood bounced off the man's helmet, but the blow was powerful enough to daze him, so Lukel followed it with a solid blow to the face. The soldier dropped and Lukel grabbed his weapon. Now he had a sword. He only wished he knew how to use it.

How cool a Little Chef can you get?? This is one that it seems I was meant to find. After missing a turn off for an R.O.C post, I was flying along the A1 when I noticed this fantastic building on the left, it was blocked off from the carriageway and no way to stop so I thought that was that. Anyway, looking at the maps later on to see roughly where it was, it turned out to be right on the other side of the road from the Travelodge i'd booked for two nights time! On my return I found a way to it around the back of a huge roadhouse type pub that showed that this must have been quite a busy stopping place in times past, indeed enough to merit what I later found out to have been "Britain's only architecturally important Little Chef", according to The Guardian.
It was designed by the Modernist architect Hugo Segar "Sam" Scorer, and built in 1960-1, originally as a filling station(!), with the distinctive "hyper-parabaloid" (now that's a word to crowbar floorboards up with) roof on four concrete stanchions presumably covering the pumps. It cost £4500 in old money to build and survived as a petrol station until 1989, when it was converted to a Little Chef, which stayed open until summer 2012. In March 2012, while still open as a Chef, it was given Grade 2 listing, but only for the roof. They didn't seem to think much of the rest as the listing states "the canopy and four structural supports remain intact and uncompromised by the inserted building beneath...the restaurant building does not have special interest and is excluded from the listing".
The next morning I had breakfast at the new and 'rebranded' Little Chef across the road, which was very nice, but I couldn't help thinking what it would have been like to be in this great building. Then I carried on to that R.O.C post...
P.S Little Chef itself is now an endangered species- from a peak total of approx. 439 around the year 2000, there are now only 74 left open in the U.K.

Hidden Transylvania
When people think of Transylvania, they mostly have Dracula in mind. For some it is also about the medieval festival of Sighisoara, and for only a few, amongst who Prince Charles, it is all about the wonderful villages around Sibiu.
There is more to Transylvania than these. This book does not want to be a travel guide, but a means to discover hidden Transylvania.
I was born and raised in Brasov, also known as Kronstadt (Crown City). It is a very old and beautiful city where Germans, Hungarians and Romanians live in perfect harmony.
A few kilometres from Brasov, there is a village called Sinca. Here we can find one of the hidden mysteries of Transylvania.
Old Sinca is an old compact village, which was founded in the XII century. There are a lot of archaeological treasures, still buried around the village. But the one that is unique in its own way is the Monastery from the Cave or the Temple from the Cave.
Around 1700 there were five monasteries, four made of wood and one carved in rock, although the village population was of only five hundred inhabitants. All there five monasteries were Christian Orthodox.
In 1762 the queen Marie Therese decided to establish the First Regiment to protect the borders. The villagers were ordered to leave their religion and to become Catholics. Almost all of them decided to leave the village and to withdraw the forest that surrounds the village and to life in huts. As time went by the villagers built new houses and thus, a new village was born, named New Sinca.
Only five rich families had decided to remain in Old Sinca, and later on two of them moved to the new village, losing all their fortune. After several decades the old village was repopulated with Romanians, the life returned to normal. Out of the five monasteries, only one survived the centuries, the one hidden in the cave.
The entrance of the monastery is situated in a forest, where the vegetation is extremely rich. Above the place where the little church was carved there are some young oak trees. Five rooms, as high as to allow a normal person to stand, were carved in the fragile rock, with two altars and a chimney shaped as a pyramid. The scenery outside the cave seems to be taken from a fairy tale and, indeed, it has the gift to enhance our imagination and to make us dream. The visitor can feel the nature outside through the thick walls of the cave. It is an ideal place to meditate, that emanates purity and mystery that can be felt by every person that enters here.
There are numerous controversies regarding the origin of this temple:
❖ Its age, that varies from 250 years up to 7,000.
❖ Its origin: most of the researchers consider it to be a Christian Orthodox church, while others consider that it was built either in the pre-Dacic or Dacic period. To support this idea they refer to the existence of non- Christian inscriptions from the walls of the cave.
❖ The way in which it was built: the two altars make some of the historians to think that the population that built the temple was not Christian, as no church has two altars.
❖ Some bizarre phenomena that manifest themselves from time to time- like the apparition of spheres of light at the entrance of the temple. These apparitions made the lovers of paranormal activities to think that the place has a unique energy charge. They even sustain the hypothesis that here we can find one of the famous energy knots.
In order to give you a real image of this magical place and of the phenomena that take place from time to time, we have studied a lot of testimonials and documents.
A woman describes the following strange phenomenon. One day, she and one of her friends decided to visit the cave. They found it extremely dirty and they decided to clean it. When they have finished the job, they decided to go outside, climb the rock and have a last glance through the pyramidal chimney. Once they were out they...

PENDLETON, Ore.-- Four people are dead after an intoxicated driver hits their car from behind on Interstate 84, just east of Pendleton, at 12:30 a.m. Sunday.
Oregon State Police say a 29-year-old Hermiston man and his three passengers were in a Chevrolet Beretta when they were struck from behind by a pick-up truck driven by 46-year-old John Carlgren. All four people in the Beretta were pronounced dead at the scene. However, Carlgren had only minor injuries.
Carlgren was booked into the Umatilla County Jail on four counts of second degree manslaughter and one count of driving under the influence of intoxicants.

About Me
Welcome to Vital Assurance. I'm Keren, and I want to share a bit about my background.
Coming from a European family, food was always the centre of everything that we did (and still is). However WHOLESOME, CLEAN, HEALTHY food was never on the menu. I was raised on foods like sour cream sandwiches, herring in an oily tomato sauce, cheese filled blintzes and regular take away Chinese MSG filled dinners to name a few. I was never one to shy away from the kitchen and I can still clearly remember cooking with my grandmother from the age of 11, helping her prepare big family meals whenever I had the opportunity, and I gained my love of cooking from her.
It has taken me some time to find the career that excites and completes me. I always thought that I wanted a career in the medical field and after working hard through secondary school I completed a degree in Physiotherapy, but I realised that this was not what I wanted and it didn't fulfil me. From there I ventured into a number of different (but related) careers before and after having my two boys. It wasn't until one day in 2013, when I was having coffee with a close family member discussing how unhappy I was at work, she suggested that I complete my Certificates in Fitness since I had such a passion for people's health, and start a career in personal training. That afternoon I enrolled, resigned from my full time employment, and four months later I started working for myself as a personal trainer, which I have found extremely rewarding.
In 2014 a friend referred me to the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN) and I was immediately taken by their "not one size fits all" approach to health and wellness. I also embarked on a clean eating lifestyle, and I found that what I was learning about at IIN was complementing this. I emptied my pantry of all processed foods, specifically refined carbs and sugars. Not only was I changing my lifestyle for the better but also my whole family was benefiting. I returned to the kitchen spending many hours there experimenting with new foods and new flavours, making and creating delicious and nutrient rich meals and snacks. I love that I am able to take control of what goes into my, and my family's, body. A body that we only get one chance to nourish and nurture.
Having lost my father to a brain tumour in June 2010, and having cancer and chronic disease in my family history, I was acutely sensitive to what I (and my children) might be genetically up against in the future. When I was diagnosed with an auto-immune disease during 2015 my clean eating was credited with preventing it from being even more debilitating. I have seen a marked improvement in my live blood analysis and physical symptoms since being diagnosed and feel confident in the fact that this will only to continue to improve as I continue to feed my body with this wholesome goodness.
This is my story. Everyone has a different experience, needs, wants and goals. My goal is to share my experiences with you and learn about yours to help you overcome whatever it is that is holding you back from being the best you that you can be.

Orc RaidersThe Orc nation has even more enthusiasm than the Iron Dwarves when it comes to exploring, or rather raiding, in the Uncharted Seas. The aggressive advance of the Orc Raiders into the Darnak Cluster is led by the Orcs of the Grothgarda Tribe, driven as they are by their Chieftain King Lothar.
The ships of the Grothgarda outnumber those of any other tribe by four to one, making them the dominant aggressor – and Lothar never lets the less chieftains forget who has the largest army! Three other tribes do, however, have substantial fleets in the Uncharted Seas: Aslauga, Hilmegga and Wechtas tribes.
The Grothgarda forges produce the majority of Orc war vessels, and are responsible for the overall design of the mighty war barges that strike fear in the hearts of their enemies. They are the only forges in the Orc lands capable of casting the massive bronze cannons and iron armour plates, which they transport to The Darnak Cluster to supply the shipwrights there.
King Lothar keeps a firm hand on the production of warships and their sale to the other tribes, and ensures that his fleet captains are at least adventurous and inquisitive, even if he cannot appoint intelligent captains instead. He technically has dominion over all Orcs, although the lesser tribes usually follow their own limited agendas, and the Uncharted Seas is so spread out that it is not uncommon for his warlords to ignore the orders he sends to them.
The King is not foolish enough to stretch his forces too thinly, but his aggression does sometimes leave his forces exposed. Like a Troll eats its enemy, the Orc view to war is a simple one: kill them all – but one piece at a time!

Conference Proceeding
The purpose of this study was to investigate evapotranspiration (ET) from a variety of scales (leaf to landscape) in saltcedar-dominated floodplain vegetation along the lower Virgin River of southern Nevada. Leaf-level gas exchange indicated that saltcedar exhibits similar stomatal conductance as the sympatric phreatophytes arrowweed, mesquite, and willow. However, sap flow in saltcedar was higher per unit sapwood area than the other species, suggesting that it maintains higher leaf area per unit sapwood area. At the stand level, saltcedar ET was found to exceed potential ET early in the summer when soils were moist and the water table was near the surface, but by late summer, after floodplain soils had dried and the water table had dropped, saltcedar ET was well below potential rates. Summer irrigation did not result in increased conductance of saltcedar for at least four weeks, suggesting that saltcedar does not utilize summer rainfall under normal conditions in the arid Mojave Desert.

Antique Hunt
I love going around little villages, scouring for antiques, jewellery, furniture and clothes. Recently I have been to these two lovely places: Memories in Ramsbottom and the GB Antiques Centre in Lancaster. About an hours drive from Manchester, GB Antiques has room upon room full of big pieces of furniture, to little rails of clothes hidden away and few pieces of jewels. Memories on the other hand has cases and cases of rare jewellery, art deco pieces, beautiful broaches, toys, books, china and more trinkets that you can imagine! Two floors crammed full of bits and pieces. Memories also has the cutest team members, I loved the little nana's working away in there, talking about the steak dinners and what they had for their lunch! Even if you don't leave with a purchase, you can secretly learn about bacon ribs and where to get the best piece of steak in Ramsbottom!

Being a lawyer is often associated with having a high salary — and even higher student loan debt. Unfortunately, studying law is not a promised path to gainful employment or six figures.
More lawyers today are facing unemployment along with burdensome law school loans, with the employment rate for Class of 2013 law school graduates falling for the sixth consecutive year, according to the National Association for Law Placement.
Luckily, there are student loan assistance programs out there to help with that lingering debt from college — and even more for those who dedicate their lives to public service. Here's the complete guide to repayment options and student loan forgiveness for lawyers.
Public Service Loan Forgiveness for Lawyers
The Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program forgives your remaining federal loans after working for a qualified employer and making 120 payments. Eligible employment includes positions in the government and nonprofit sectors. Candidates must work full-time and make consecutive payments.
Department of Justice Attorney Student Loan Repayment Program
The Department of Justice offers an Attorney Student Loan Repayment Program (ASLRP) in an effort to recruit and retain lawyers in the field. Each spring, the agency opens up applications to current employees for the assistance program. To be eligible, employees of the Department of Justice must have at least $10,000 in federal student loans.
Eligible loans include:
- Stafford Loans
- Supplemental Loans
- Federal Consolidation Loans
- Defense Loans (made before July 1, 1972)
- National Direct Student Loans (made between 7/1/72 and 7/1/87)
- William D. Ford Direct Student Loans
- Perkins Loans
- The Nursing Student Loan Program loans
- The Health Profession Student Loan Program loans
- The Health Education Assistance Loan Program loans
Eligible candidates can receive up to $6,000 per calendar year, with a maximum of $60,000 in assistance. Your payment will be sent to your loan servicer and not you directly. In order to accept the award, candidates need to commit to a three-year service with the Department of Justice.
Note that assistance provided through this program is considered taxable income, which is subject to additional withholdings. While this program may be a good option for those working for the Department of Justice, it can be highly competitive.
John R. Justice Student Loan Repayment Program
Are you looking to work in the public sector? You're in luck! The John R. Justice Student Loan Repayment Program provides assistance for lawyers working as public defenders. Eligible candidates can receive up to $10,000 per year, with a maximum award of $60,000.
Each state is provided with funding for this particular program, so you'll want to contact the Governor-Designated State Agencies to learn how to apply within your specific state. Candidates must be employed as a public defender for at least three years.
The Herbert S. Garten Loan Repayment Assistance Program
This assistance program uses a lottery system to offer awards to qualified attorneys. The attorney must be employed by one of the program's grantees and have outstanding student loan debt of at least $75,000. This program awards up to $5,600 to roughly 70 attorneys each year.
Loan Repayment Assistance Programs (LRAPs) By School
Newly graduated lawyers who are saddled with student loans and are deterred from taking positions in the public sector also have options. Many law schools have come up with Loan Repayment Assistance Programs (LRAPs) to ease the financial burden and attract attorneys to the public sector.
Typically, these programs have salary requirements, such as earning $75,000 or less per year. The actual amount you receive as part of your assistance depends on your law school.
Check out this comprehensive list to see if your school is included.
Loan Repayment Assistance Programs (LRAPs) By State
In addition to LRAPs by school, there are numerous programs offered by certain states:
The Joyce Holsey's ALL (Arizona's Legal Legacy) – Loan Repayment Assistance Program aims to create statewide assistance for law school graduates employed in certain programs working with underserved communities. Applicants must have passed the State Bar of Arizona and have an income that does not exceed $65,000 annually. A maximum of $10,000 will be awarded to eligible candidates each year. (Learn more)
District of Columbia
If you live in the D.C. area, you may be able to qualify for up to $12,000 per year in repayment assistance.
The District of Columbia Bar Foundation Loan Repayment Assistance Program seeks lawyers working with low-income individuals. Eligible candidates must be in good standing with the D.C. Bar, employed by a qualified organization, and work at least 17 hours per week. In addition, applicants' gross income must be less than $81,954.53 in 2016. (Learn more)
The Florida Bar Foundation has a Loan Repayment Assistance Program that awards up to $5,000 per year to lawyers who work at legal aid or legal services organizations. Eligible candidates must work full-time or part-time for 12 months at a foundation-supported organization. (Learn more)
The Chicago Bar Foundation offers assistance through the Sun-Times Public Interest Law Fellowship to outstanding law school graduates working with qualified public interest organizations.
Eligible candidates can receive up to $20,000 over the period of five years. Applicants must have at least $40,000 in educational debt and commit to working in public service. (Learn more)

Income-Driven Plans
A lot of the aforementioned assistance programs require you to work at a qualifying nonprofit or agency and work under strict income limitations. If you don't qualify for one of those programs and you have federal loans, consider an income-driven repayment plan.
Income-Based Repayment (IBR): Your monthly payments are capped at 10 to 15 percent of your income, depending on when you took out your loan. To qualify for IBR, your proposed payment must be less than what it would be under the 10-year Standard Repayment Plan. The repayment period is 20 to 25 years — any balance remaining after that will be forgiven but may be subject to additional taxes.
Pay As You Earn (PAYE): Monthly payments are capped at 10 percent of your income. To qualify, your proposed payment must be less than what it would be under the 10-year Standard Repayment Plan. The repayment period is 20 years — any balance remaining after that will be forgiven but may be subject to additional taxes. Note, however, that the government is making changes to PAYE — learn more about the Revised Pay As You Earn (REPAY) program.
Income-Contingent Plan: Monthly payments are capped at 20 percent of your discretionary income under an Income-Contingent Plan. The repayment period is 25 years, with any remaining balance forgiven (though forgiven debt might be subject to additional taxes).
Graduating with huge law school loans is tough, but there may be options to get some assistance from your employer, state, and more. Check out these options to see if you qualify for some form of assistance or forgiveness.

The Hornets Peewee A team are the defending state champions and have captured three of the past four State Championships, including back-to-back titles the past two seasons. This brings the perennial power's total to nine Peewee A titles dating back to 1968, the most of any hockey association in the state.
It's been 45 years since Eveleth has won a Bantam A State Championship, which made it a story of the past and present when Eden Prairie captured a 4-3, double-overtime victory over the defending state champions from Woodbury last season. The title gave the Eagles their third Bantam A state title in five seasons. Eden Prairie is now tied with Eveleth with five state titles, second to Edina, who has seven. The Eden Prairie championships have come in 1998, 2000, '07, '08, and '11, while Eveleth started their run in 1952 when they won three consecutive, and then went on to win again in '56 and '66.
The UMD Bulldogs are the defending Men's National Champions. The new title, along with their new arena, gives the Bulldogs plenty of momentum among Minnesota's five Division-I programs. Last season in the WCHA, Mankato finished 11th, Bemidji 10th, St. Cloud ninth and Minnesota fifth.
In its 11-year history, the Women's NCAA Ice Hockey Championship has been passed around between only three teams – Minnesota (2), Minnesota Duluth (5) and Wisconsin (4). Under Minneapolis-born head coach Mark Johnson, the Badgers have won four of the last six, including last season's title. Will this trio continue the trend? Minnesota Duluth and Minnesota finished second and third, respectively, behind Wisconsin in the WCHA last year. Can Bemidji St., St. Cloud St. and Minnesota St. creep up the standings?
The Golden Gophers rehired alumnus Mike Guentzel this summer as an Associate Head Coach, primarily in charge of the team's defensive unit. The Marble, Minn. native and former Minnesota defenseman served as a Gophers assistant for 14 years, including the two National Championship seasons with Don Lucia. After finishing fifth, seventh and fifth in the WCHA the past three seasons, can Guentzel's return bring the Gophers back to the top and refill Mariucci Arena?
Eden Prairie has won two of the last three Class 2A Minnesota State High School Hockey Championships, including 2011's triple-overtime instant classic over Duluth East. Head coach Lee Smith's team lost some very talented seniors, including 2011 NHL Draft picks Nick Seeler (Minnesota Wild, 5th round) and Mr. Hockey winner Kyle Rau (Florida Panthers, 3rd round). Can the Eagles continue their recent success or will a new power step up? In Class 1A, can St. Thomas Academy add to its three state titles in the past five years? Will Minnetonka and Warroad successfully defend
the girls' crowns?
The USA Hockey progressive checking skill development program begins this season. There is plenty of data supporting the move, and it will be interesting to follow the play on the ice this season and monitor the improvement in safety and skills.

Taking spontaneous, true images that capture the spirit of the individual is what I do.
A professional wedding, portrait and commercial photographer for 10 years now, I work in the Cotswolds, Gloucestershire, South West London and abroad.
I am fascinated by people and love to take pictures that tell something of a story about the individual. Clients say that my positive, friendly approach means they quickly relax into the shoot and can just be themselves. With no formal posing and minimal equipment, it's just me with my experience and my camera.
Home is near Cirencester, where I live with my husband and three beautiful children. Aside from taking photographs I can mainly be found enjoying the mayhem that is our family, catching up with good friends or out exercising polo ponies in the Cotswold countryside! Delusions of athletic ability have had me running the London Marathon for the MS Resource Centre and cycling from Cirencester to Paris for Bliss premature baby charity.

OUTDOOR KITCHEN IDEA CENTERDesigning your outdoor kitchen may seem like a daunting task. The are so many shapes, styles, and kitchen components to choose from it may seem overwhelming. In an effort to help you understand the different components that go into building an outdoor kitchen, we put together this design idea guide. We have broken the kitchens into 6 sizes, one of which is likely to be similar component wise to what you have in mind. Also included is info about wood fired pizza ovens. These seem to be growing in popularity and can be added to any kitchen. Renowned kitchen designer Dale G. Seiden and Alfresco Grills assisted us in creating this helpful guide.
Some people choose to construct their BBQ Islands out of cinder blocks and others use steel studs. Both have their merits. If your island has curves in it then cinder block is the way to go. If you are trying to maximize internal storage space, steel studs are the best choice. The main thing to remember is that the spacing of your components is critical to your BBQ island's usefulness. As long as you are purchasing medium to high end cooking components, the spacing of the equipment is probably more important than the actual components. If you can't set a plate down next to your grill, you will be unhappy with the finished product. Check out our Complete BBQ Islands for additional design ideas.
A 5' wide BBQ Island is as small as you can go and still have it be functional.
Increasing the width of your BBQ Island will allow you to add a second cooking component.
An 8' BBQ island is not much different than a 7' except that it allows you to add larger cooking components.
Increasing the width of your BBQ island to 10' gives you some options that you simply don't have with smaller units.
Building a BBQ island this size allows you to incorporate a large variety of cooking and entertainment components..
Adding a wood fired pizza oven is the ultimate addition to any outdoor kitchen.

5 Ways To Boost Your Happiness
Wednesday 20th March was the first ever 'International Happiness Day.' I hadn't realised this until turning on the radio, and the cheery presenter informed me that today was the day to feel happy. I remember thinking, "hang on, just because it's International Happiness Day, doesn't mean I can automatically be happy. I can't just turn happiness on and off." But then I thought about what makes me happy, what makes me want to have a good day.
Why can't I aim to make these things happen which in turn should boost my happiness? I decided to put together a list of the top five things that make me happy and then aim to fulfil at least one of them every single day. Here are my top five happiness boosters:
1. Clean Sheets
Very simple. There is nothing better than the feeling of clean bed sheets. Snuggling up under the duvet after a long day at work is a great feeling, but even better when the sheets smell fresh and floral. Getting into a nice, clean bed not only makes me go to sleep feeling good, I wake up feeling refreshed and comfortable (note, this often makes it harder to get out of bed in the morning.)
2. Flowers
Once a fortnight I buy myself a gorgeous bunch of flowers to sit in a vase in my front room. I love watching the flowers open up and they make the room smell great. They are lovely to look at and make my flat seem more homely.
3. Friends
I have great friends. My friends make me feel good about myself. Surrounding yourself with people that you care about and who care about you is a huge happiness boost. I often invite my friends over for tea and we will talk about anything and everything. It's good to chat and discuss any concerns with people that understand you.
4. Cooking
I love cooking! I love the excitement of making something from scratch. How just a few ingredients can be turned into something delicious and healthy. I love trying new ingredients that are exotic or unusual.
5. Helping others
Doing something for someone else always makes me happy. It gives you a great sense of self worth, knowing that you've helped someone else. Whether it's helping a friend decorate, volunteering at a charity shop, visiting an elderly neighbour or giving a few pennies to charity. Doing something for someone else always makes me happy.
These things are my personal ways to make myself feel happy. Today I have already woken up in clean sheets, cooked a nice a breakfast and helped a colleague with some work. I'm happy! Give it a try. Think of a few things that make you happy and make every single day your own, personal, International Happiness Day.

Hannah this has made me smile! I love clean bed sheets too. I'm thinking now what makes me happy. I'm going to sit down tonight and make a list of 5 happiness boosters and put it in my purse to remind me everyday! 🙂
