Unemployment among African Americans is more than twice as high as white unemployment and nearly twice as high as the national average, according to government data released Friday.
The disparity is even more dramatic among African American teens whose unemployment rate is five times the national average and nearly twice as high as their white counterparts.
According the Bureau of Labor Statistics during the month of October the unemployment rate among African Americans was 9.2 percent. Among white Americans, however, the unemployment rate was 4.4 percent.
Meanwhile, the national average was 5.0 percent. And unemployment among Asian Americans was 3.5 percent and 6.3 percent among Latinos.
The employment situation among African American teens (ages 16-19) was 25.6 percent. Among white teens the unemployment rate was 13.8 percent and nationally and nationally teen unemployment was 15.9 percent.
Latino teens also experienced a high unemployment rate of 22.4 percent.
The employment imbalance comes amid good economic news which had the Obama administration heralding the addition of 271,000 jobs in October.

While wood siding is a very attractive and durable siding choice, cleaning wood siding and preparing it for a fresh coat of paint can be a daunting task. By the time most people get ready to repaint wood siding, the old paint is starting to peel and chip away from the wood.
wood siding, is the traditional clapboard siding where wood is nailed to the exterior. Wood is beautiful, but it takes a lot of maintenance to maintain. wood siding need painting, caulking or some other periodic weather protection. Since we are talking about wood siding, let's see how larchdeck.com relates to it. When homeowners get tired of this maintenance they often switch to another type of siding, which may not look as attractive in the home. Some old homes in Denver are really beautiful with their wood Denver siding. Wood is so versatile that it can be cut and used in many ways. Repairs of wood clapboard are pretty easy, all you need is some similar wood.
The neighborhood you decide on can make a huge difference in the experience you have with owning real estate. Choose wisely and can look forward to future appreciation in value. Choose poorly and you may be stuck with a home in an area where people are reluctant to purchase. Here are 5 questions to ask when choosing a neighborhood.

Yard tools hung neatly, pool equipment lined up in a row, and the lawn mower parked out of the rain is a satisfying change.
Windows – Whenever possible choose your portable horse barn with bigger windows. Bigger windows will provide more light inside the stalls which is not only better for you, but also for your horses. Make sure windows can open to provide ventilation and make sure all stalls windows are protected by heavy duty window grills on inside of stall.
Stain technology has come a long ways in the last 20 years. There is a wider selection of good stains but there are still quite a few inferior stains on the market today.

Accurate assessment of intervals receiving proppant and the determination of near well bore fracture heights are valuable in assessing and optimizing stimulation strategies. Proppant placement evaluation in hydraulic fractures has traditionally involved the detection of radioactive tracers pumped down hole with the proppant. However, as environmental regulations regarding this technique have tightened, and with increased scrutiny by the public and regulatory bodies of the industry in general and hydraulic fracturing in particular, the need for an alternative to radioactive tracers has become paramount.
A new technology for assessing intervals receiving proppant and determining fracture heights utilizing a non-radioactive detectable proppant has been recently introduced. The technology has found global acceptance and has proven to be a robust and accurate method of locating proppant in the near well bore region. In addition to eliminating the safety and environmental concerns with radioactive tracers, this new method also provides a permanent indication of the proppant location near the wellbore. Unlike traditional radioactive tracers which must be logged before the radioisotopes completely decay, this new method will allow investigation of the proppant pack many years or decades in the future, which will provide critical information during remedial or redevelopment work that cannot be determined with conventional approaches.
A review of the current state of regulatory impediments to the use of radioactive tracers in key producing regions around the world is discussed highlighting the need for an alternative diagnostic technology. The technology utilized in the application of the non-radioactive detectable proppant is described and comparisons to other fracture diagnostic technologies are presented. Several case histories are shown which illustrate various applications of the technology in regions around the globe. These case histories include applications performed in Asia, Middle East, Europe and North and South America. In addition to identifying proppant location and fracture height, this technology can be used in other applications such as the evaluation of gravel pack quality. If the current trends in regulatory actions related to hydraulic fracturing continue, it is anticipated that the use of radioactive tracers will be restricted to fewer and fewer locales. At the same time the importance of reliable fracture diagnostics for optimization of hydraulic fracturing both from a well performance and cost control standpoint remains extremely important.

Find yourself managing money for the first time? Julia Buckleton narrows down to the key issues.
One of the situations I see frequently is people seeking help because they're managing money for the first time.
Whether the situation results from separation, the death of a family member or a rearrangement of responsibilities, they need to learn a new set of skills.
My next step is to explain that as their knowledge grows, so will their confidence. It's not that they can't manage their finances, they just haven't had the experience yet. It might be that they've always made financial decisions with someone else, and now they are deciding on their own.
Finally, we tackle their finances. And I've found there are some common pieces of advice that apply to many in this situation.
1. Start with your immediate needs
If your life is changing dramatically, there may be some important short-term goals you want to achieve to help you get things back on track. For example, you may be focused on returning to work, rebuilding your skill set through study, or you may have the needs of children to consider.
Making sure your immediate needs are taken care of is usually the first step to taking control of your money. Once you feel this aspect of your life is under control, you're better placed to start thinking about your long-term goals – such as planning for your retirement.
2. Master your cash flow
After a separation it's very common for women in particular to be asset rich (for example, owning the family home) but cash poor. This lack of cash can make it harder to rebuild your life and achieve your financial goals.
In situations like this it's essential for you to get a better understanding of your income and expenses (i.e. your cash flow). In some cases you may need to sell assets to provide the cash you need for everyday spending. Or you may be able to invest your cash in a way that provides ongoing income.
The most important thing to remember is to take action by seeking advice as soon as you can: a financial plan will help you get on top of these issues quickly.
3. Review your risk profile
Helping my clients balance risk in their investments with the time frame they have to grow their wealth is an important, often challenging, but necessary conversation. A desire to be conservative is understandable, but less risk tends to result in less return, so building money quickly can be hard.
For example, if you have $200,000 in cash as a result of an inheritance or separation, and you put that money in a cash account earning 2.5 per cent interest each year for 10 years, you would end up with $256,017 (assuming an annual compound frequency).
However, if you had invested that money in a managed fund that averaged a 7 per cent annual return over the 10 years, you would end up with $393,430, acknowledging that the managed fund option may have some hiccups along the way, and required a longer term outlook.
While it's always good to have some cash readily available for your short-term goals, it's important to ensure you're taking on enough risk to help your long-term savings grow.
Where to from here?
If you're in this position and you're thinking "I haven't done anything like this before", that's OK. There are people out there, such as financial planners, who have done it many times before.
Find someone you trust, sit down, work out what your situation, goals and concerns are, and go from there. Ultimately, our role as a financial planner is to be empathetic to your situation and help you navigate through whatever life throws at you.
Julia Buckleton is a Melbourne-based financial planner for ANZ.

We craft the wand out of a solid piece of high-grade stainless steel which naturally resists bacteria. An advanced self-cleaning system mechanically cleans the wand before and after each use.
Bacteria resistant and easy cleaning
The body and seat is made with durable and macteria reistant materials. A quick release design lets you take off the entire toilet seat for cleaning with 1 click.
Patented heating system
A water tank inside the toilet seat heats and stores water for cleaning. Our patented design automatically drains and refreshes the water at regular intervals to ensure hygiene.
Built-in sensor
Built into the seat is a safety sensor that tells the toilet seat that you are properly positioned. Preventing accidental usages and other dangers of electrical appliances.
A modern bathroom necessity
A smart toilet seat vs a traditional toilet or bidet is like comparing a car to a horse.
Re-think your modern bathroom experience.
Water, better than paper
In Europe or Japan, it's odd to see a bathroom without bidet functionality, because it is far superior and modern way to cleanse ourselves than using paper.
Using only toilet paper to clean your bum pretty much guarantees that there will be some residue left. Dry paper can damage skin in our sensitive areas, and bacterial infections can lead to health issues such as hemorrhoids. Water on the other hand provides a soothing clean, but you already know that.
Environmental and cost saving
There is huge environmental benefits to bidets. The average North American uses around 50 rolls of toilet paper a year, and that paper comes at a significant cost.
Using a bidet dramatically reduces the use of toilet paper. It's still there for a pat dry, if you want, but we strongly recommend you give the dryer a try. It is So much better.

We offer a wide variety of tanning lotions at Sun Tan City. Sometimes, even the most experienced tanners can be confused or baffled by all the product titles, ingredients and blends. To help you distinguish between our bronzer, blush and tingle lotions, I have listed some key facts about each formula to help you along your tanning journey.
Bronzer lotion is a very popular selection for our clients who want a deep, dark tan. The bronzer makes the skin almost instantly appear darker, which adds to the existing tan many of them already have. There are several bronzer formulations we offer at various pricing that cater to almost any budget. One important tip about using bronzers is to be careful during the application process before your visit. Bronzers are typically easy but we do sell a few that can streak your skin if you do not apply them properly. Applying in small, circular motions on your skin is what I recommend.
Blush tanning lotions are popular for clients who desire an instant flush without the warming tingle that you'd feel with a tingle lotion. Blush lotions give your skin a tone and glow that develops quickly and tends to last until you take a shower. Then the blush effect washes off while your skin is still glowing from the tan you developed during your visit.
Tingle tanning lotions are classified as tingle because of the tingling sensation your skin gets after you apply the lotion for your tanning visit. It is more intense than any other tanning lotion we carry in our salons. The lotion brings the blood to the skin surface and oxygen begins to affect the skin's melanin. Since it is tingling your skin, the more area that it tingles, the darker you will become. This is not recommended if you have sensitive skin.
With all of our tanning products, we highly recommend that you speak with one of our expert Tanning Consultants about which product would be best for your skin type, budget and lifestyle. They will be able to assist you with the products that are available in the salon to find you the perfect match.

India Inc on Murthy's return to Infosys Board
Both market analysts and IT industry honchos have welcomed software giant Infosys' move to appoint NR Narayana Murthy as the executive chairman of the board with effect from June 1, 2013.
While Kiran Mazumdar Shaw and Som Mittal have applauded the IT giant's decision, market analysts also see this as an important turning point for Infosys. We take a look at what analysts and IT honchos are saying:
Som Mittal, Nasscom
"At this juncture it will be good for both Infosys and the industry. I welcome Murthy's return to Infosys in executive role."
Stating that the IT industry has undergone significant changes since 2007, Mittal said, "Murthy's return is positive for industry per se." "We can't write off Infosys on basis of past 2 years performance," he added.
Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, Biocon
"This is a very welcome development. Infosys needs a hands-on leadership to manage operations."
Murthy's return to helm is driven from perception of the company recently, Shaw said. He must have carefully thought this, she added.
Ganesh Natrajan, vice chairman, Zensar Tech
"Murthy's return to Infosys is healthy for the industry. I expect Murthy to delineate executive and non-executive roles."
With Murthy's return, Natrajan expects Infosys to do 'extremely well'. "Murthy will take Infosys to a new level of leadership. He can build a new leadership vision in Infosys," he added.
Rostow Ravanan, MindTree
"The biggest challenge for Infosys is to get revenues, growth back. I am sure Murthy has some ideas on this." "He is a leader who has lot of credibilty in the industry. Will have to wait and see how leadership changes shape up, he said.
Bhavin Shah, Equirus Securities
Shah said that Infosys needs to improve materially for the stock to rally. "I don't expect Infosys stock to rally post Murthy's return," he said.
Bhavin Shah acknowledged that Murthy's return is a positive for the company. "Consulting, platform solution businesses need to be improved by Infosys. I expect Murthy to be involved in operations of Infosys," he said.
"We wish Murthy and Infosys the very best. Murthy is an industry icon with a track record."
Sudin Apte, Offshore Insights
According to Apte, the employee moral at Infosys will change with Murthy's return. However, Apte said that he will not change his stand on the company so fast. "I will see the performance of the company first," he said.
Sanjay Dhawan, Leader of Technology, PwC
Dhawan said, "Murthy's return to Infosys will go a long way in helping the company regain lost glory. With this change there could be aggressive growth for Infosys and industry."
"Infosys has been an industry leader, is a fundamentally strong company," Dhawan added.
Ankur Rudra, Ambit Capital
This is a drastic, some might say, welcome move," said Ankur Rudra. Ambit Capital has a "sell" rating on the stock. "Probably, this could be a step towards a new strategic direction and leadership as well."

Last year, I cried the hardest I've ever cried and laughed the loudest I've ever laughed. At times, I dwelled on what was going wrong in order to figure out how to fix it. Ultimately, though, I focused on what I wanted and let go of things I didn't want.
I share that I cried to illustrate how amazing it felt to be able to laugh, and set life stuff aside to completely enjoy those how-did-I-get-so-lucky, life glitter moments.
This moment was captured during my November trip to Mendocino, California. It was the first time I touched the Pacific Ocean.
A year ago, I made a collage using toy ads, a nature calendar and a few old magazines. I picked the word fresh to define my year. It surprised me, since I thrive on scheduling things in advance and following an established routine.
I like predictability, but embracing the freshness of life was more beautiful than I could have dreamed.
Last year was fresh. My boyfriend and I bought a house. He asked me to marry him, and I said yes. We planned a wedding with less than 30 guests and were married two months later. On our honeymoon, I saw and touched the Pacific Ocean for the very first time. We spent our first holidays together as a blended family of five. A career opportunity I'd been hoping for surfaced.
That's a lot of change. It was very exciting, but at times, very overwhelming.
I spent an entire month before the house purchase was finalized white-knuckled in anticipation. When I returned to my apartment after our one and only showing of five houses, the collage I made last January caught my eye. Covered in goosebumps, I grabbed it off of the kitchen counter and began shrieking with glee that we needed to make an offer immediately on the place we wanted to be our family home together because the staircase was the same one as the staircase pictured in my collage.
When I cut that picture out of a magazine, I never expected to get that exact same staircase. Yet there it was. (Disclaimer: The staircase is not as gigantic as the picture I cut out, but the wall color, the trim and the spindles are almost identical.)
I instantly loved the house and wanted to hold onto it and never lose it. Friends reminded me to focus on what I wanted instead of what I didn't want. So, I imagined what it would be like to wake up at the new house, the warm, hard floor welcoming my feet as I began each new day. And it does. I pause almost every morning – and I mentally kick myself when I forget to be grateful for it – when I feel that feeling and smile.
Everything in that collage came true. The horseshoe heart, lucky in love. The typewriter was my grandmother's; our wedding guests typed messages on it instead of signing a book. Fresh vegetables and flowers were established in the new yard. Rays of sunlight streamed through the redwood trees during the honeymoon trip to California.
I'm still getting used to the W word, wife. It's an honor to partner with this man, my other half, and raise our children together. While going through divorce, I decided to live life on my own terms and be happy. I still am, and I want to continue to grow and learn.
Amidst the heavy moments last year, there was so much light in the form of love to keep me afloat. The more receptive I am, the more I can feel it. I am grateful.
I'm intimidated to make a collage for 2016. I'll commit to a word. My word for 2016 is peace. I will seek it, I will be it and I will embrace it.

Dealing with risk
The uncertainly of events has two components: the likelihood of an event and the impact of an event. Likelihood is usually defined as a probability of an event occurring, while impact of an event is usually defined by the financial loss that accompanies an event. Multiplying the probability of an event by the loss that accompanies an event gives us a way to quantify the risk associated with an event. Risk is the amount that we expect to lose by a certain activity.
In a hypothetical example, suppose that the data on each of our laptop computers is worth $10,000 and the laptops themselves are worth $1,000, and that there is a 10 percent chance of a laptop being stolen in a one-year period, resulting in a loss of the data on the laptop as well as the laptop itself. This means that the risk from using laptops represents $1,100 of risk per laptop per year.
Once we understand the level of risk involved in using a particular technology, we need to decide how to manage this risk. We have four general ways to manage risks: avoidance, reduction, transfer, and acceptance.
If we decide to avoid a risk, we might simply refuse to use a technology that causes a risk. In our example of laptop computers, one way to deal with our hypothetical $1,100 of risk is to ban the use of all laptops in our organization and accept the implications of such a decision. In some cases, this may actually be the best way to deal with certain risks. In our hypothetical example, if we cannot demonstrate at least $1,100 of benefit from each laptop, this decision may be reasonable. In other cases it may not be feasible to avoid the risks associated with some technologies and we need to consider alternatives to avoidance.
If we decide to reduce a risk, we take an action to reduce either the likelihood or the impact of an event. In our example of laptop computers, we might be able to reduce the rate of laptop theft by investing in locks to make theft of the laptops more difficult. Or we could reduce the impact of having a laptop stolen, perhaps by deploying a full-disk encryption product, so that when we lose laptops to theft, the data on the laptops is not compromised. Because there is also loss associated with the physical loss of a stolen laptop, encryption does not eliminate the risks associated with using laptops, but only reduces it. Most investments in security technologies behave similarly, leaving some residual risk after they are implemented, and understanding the level of residual risk can be as important as understanding the original risk.
If we decide to transfer a risk, we get someone else to accept the risk, usually at a cost to us. Purchasing insurance is one way to do this, as is outsourcing the operation of a particular technology. Transferring risk often reduces the uncertainty of outcomes, but probably requires a cost roughly equal to the risk that we are transferring. So if we can purchase an insurance policy for $1,000 per year, this premium reflects the average loss that the insurance company expects its customers to experience. Losses above the average amount are reduced at the expense of increasing losses which would have been below the average amount, but we gain a level of predictability by doing this. In the terminology of statistics, we have slightly increased the mean of our loss but greatly decreased the variance of our loss.
The final way to address risks is by doing nothing, or by accepting a risk. In our example of the risk associated with the loss of laptops, if the cost of full-disk encryption products were much higher than they currently are, say $1,500 per laptop per year, then it would not be worth deploying the technology because the cost of reducing the impact of the risk would exceed the risk itself. In this case it would be reasonable to not encrypt the data on the laptops, and to just accept the risk associated with losing the laptops that we expect to lose. Many organizations are dealing with many risks in this way without fully understanding the implications of their actions; doing nothing is certainly the default way to manage risks, but it may not always be the best way.

You'll learn how to write SEO content, and immediately put that knowledge to use to effectively market for freelance writing jobs on (and off) Upwork.
The "how to start landing jobs via Upwork" portion is taught by Laura Pennington from SixFigureWritingSecrets.com. Laura successfully leveraged Upwork to become a six-figure freelance writer in less than 18 months. She can help you chart the same path.
The "how to write SEO content" portion is taught by long-time freelancer Yuwanda Black of InkwellEditorial.com. Yuwanda started writing SEO content in 2007. In 2008, she founded and still manages the full-service online writing company, New Media Words. Learn more below.
Note: You can learn more about Laura and what's covered in the Upwork portion here.
The SEO writing course covers every element of how to write effectively for the web. Also detailed is how to set up a full-fledged, online freelance writing business -- from the ground up. Specifically, you'll learn:
You won't find more complete, hands-on, SEO copywriter training anywhere. See the full course syllabus below.
P.P.S.: How to Prepare for the Upcoming Enrollment Period
I strongly advise enrolling in the free SEO writing course and view the free Upwork video training. These resources will give you all the insight you need to determine if this is the right course for you. Then, start saving and/or line up financing (if that's an issue for you).
FYI, I have used and highly recommend PayPal Credit, for all the reasons discussed in this post.
I hope to see you in class next month.
All the best,
Yuwanda Black is the publisher of InkwellEditorial.com, a blog devoted to teaching others how to make money writing -- for themselves as self-publishers, course developers, bloggers or affiliate marketers; or for clients as a freelance writer.
She has written four books on SEO content writing, and self-published almost 100 more (fiction and non-fiction) in/on/about freelance writing, internet marketing, small business ownership and romance.
Ms. Black is also a traditionally published author. Her book, The Ultimate Freelancer's Guidebook: Learn How to Land the Best Jobs, Build Your Brand, and Be Your Own Boss (Adams Media, a division of Simon & Schuster), can be found online at major outlets like Amazon and Barnes & Noble, in addition to bookstores.
Yuwanda has also developed numerous successful, online courses. She has been freelancing since 1993, and has made her living completely online since 2007. One of her joys is teaching others how to enjoy this same kind of career freedom.
Yuwanda is American, but currently lives and works full-time from the Caribbean (Jamaica). Photo: The indescribable beauty of Jamaica.
Web writing is one of the hottest, easiest-to-start, high-paying freelance jobs around. And if you have a computer/laptop and an internet connection, you can get started right away.
Thanks to the growth of content marketing, the need for qualified professionals who understand how to write for the web is increasing rapidly. If you understand how to write search engine-optimized (SEO) content, you can earn as much or as little as you want -- and work from wherever you want -- as long as you have an internet connection.
I've been doing it for years; right now, from the Caribbean (Jamaica). When I first started, I got so busy within the first couple of months that I had to hire help. I haven't looked back since. Since then, I've gone on to start a full-fledged, online writing company and help many others start this type of high-paying, online writing career.
You can do it too! Get trained and get started today.
Hope to see you "in class." :)

How to Add Twitter to Your GMail!
Here's a new Google gadget that you can add to your GMail account, TwitterGadget , that will keep you twittering along even while you check your e-mail. Of course, I wish there were multiple account option and I could maximize the screen as this guy tells us, (mine doesn't have the double arrows for some reason) but this could come in handy for those of you who don't want to cluter your desktop with Adobe Air apps such as TwitterDeck or Twhirl.
TwitterGadget is a clean, robust, web 2.0 style client for Twitter.com, designed to submit status updates to Twitter via your iGoogle homepage or Gmail Account.
TwitterGadget is completely AJAX based, meaning, at the user-specified refresh interval, only the status update content is refreshed in-line, on the gadget page. This means reduced bandwidth utilization between you and Twitter.com, while providing for a more user-friendly experience.

Instagram Incentives
In social media marketing, there are increasingly new ways to reach target audiences, develop and foster engagement and provide a new perspective of a brand or initiative. Most brands seem to have best practices in place for their use of Facebook and Twitter for these purposes, but many are still grasping the best ways to use Instagram as a storytelling mechanism.
The use of Instagram is a great way to allow brand followers to see a glimpse of what happens behind-the-scenes in a friendly way, and promote new perspectives of their mission, campaigns, and stories.
There have been some great uses of Instagram in travel and tourism campaigns this year that are examples of sharing a brand story through others' eyes by empowering target audiences to tell a story on a brand's behalf. Here are a few of our favorites:
The Expedia 'Find Your Story' app which gave users a new way to share travel photos by allowing them to choose photos from Facebook and Instagram to create a personal slideshow, helping travelers transform individual images into a video narrative. The app provides a new way to share travel experiences, as well as a fresh perspective of the value of Expedia's services.
The Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong invited Instagram users to capture views of the city and share them using #OurHK and a geotag or applicable location-based hashtags. The hotel, with the Hong Kong Tourism Board, is encouraging participants to visit specific sites, resulting in a virtual tour of the city for prospective and future visitors and providing current visitors with a list of places to see. The campaign showcases the cosmopolitan city through individual, honest perspectives rather than from the Hotel.
The InterContinental Hotels Group recently launched a #discoverIHG Instagram sweepstakes to celebrate their new IHG® Rewards Club. Through the campaign , people who register and then share geolocation-tagged images during their stay at an IHG hotel using the hashtag will have a chance to win hotel rewards. One winner will be chosen weekly throughout August 31. The campaign provides a platform for IHG guests to give a unique perspective of the hotel where they stay and tell a fun story about their experiences and trip.
Hosting contests and sweepstakes through a social platform encourages sharing of the required content for entry, further promoting the brand and campaign messages through exposure to an increasingly growing audience.
As search engine marketing continues to influence content creation, these are leading examples of brand-building initiatives, and with more than 130 million monthly active users, Instagram is an ideal platform of focus.
Some great incentives for using Instagram.
Have you seen other examples of Instagram campaigns in the travel and tourism industries? Let us know in the comments.

When the University of California Irvine approached us about creating a custom-designed set piece, content, and playback, we were very excited! There is nothing more exciting than generating a totally original physical design element, having it produced by a great fabrication company (thanks to Goodnight and Co!), and being able to create meaningful content to tie it all together. We used D3 systems to map, program and run content for the show. Projection was handled excellently (as always) by the experienced team at Brite Ideas. Many thanks to UCI, and the generous donation by the Samueli family, which is funding the new College of Health Sciences, and the trickle down effects into our creative world!

My earliest memory of my mother was when we were in the supermarket when I was three. I was in the cart's child seat and as we pulled down the sanitary napkin aisle to get her tampons, I asked her,
"Mama, if grownups have to wear diapers too, than why do I need to get potty trained?"
She looked at me with a face of half amusement, and half disbelief at my question and said, "Because you'll know when you're older, that's why."
I bring this up because on the 4th anniversary of her death, I'm trying to remember her good parts because it's so easy to remember the bad ones. She was absent much of my childhood due to her own problems and when she finally came back into my life regularly, it was still disjointed and hardly in person. Her absence feels more physical than I remember her presence being, but she was more than the hole in my life she left when she died. Her spirit is the reason that such a hole exists to begin with.
Before I was even an abstract thought to my mother, she was an active member in the New York roller derby scene, (and on the Manhattan Chiefs if I can remember clearly) as well as a promotions model for Bacardi. She was loud, beautiful, crass and colorful, naturally commanding the attention of any room she walked into. She met my father in the early 80's after an promotional event, and after initially finding him annoying, agreed to let him take her on a date. My brother was born 2 years later and I was born 3 after that. By the time I arrived to the scene however, the marriage had already started to deteriorate, so the only memories I have of my parents together are of them fighting.
After the divorce, things were turbulent for what felt like forever. Back in those days, custody automatically went to the mother regardless if the father was in the better financial and emotional standing. As a result, without much of a notice, my mother took my brother and I swiftly to Florida so we could live with her and her parents.
I remember a regression in my mom around that time, as though she were having a second chance on what she had lost in motherhood. My brother and I spent a lot of time with her parents because of this, but the point of this isn't to trash her. She was magical in those years despite her lack of stability. I remember seeing her long frame dressed to the nines in off shoulder tops and high waisted shorts, makeup done to perfection. I admired how people would stop to look at her when she walked by and I wondered if people would look at me like that when I was grown up. She would spend evenings away and leave us in the care of family members. When she returned she'd come with presents and stories of the glamorous places she went and all the sunsets she had seen. She grew addicted to those sunsets, which excited me but made me uncomfortable at the exact same time.
She would continue to feed into that sunset, dating sports stars in Miami and running around in the club scene. I never wanted to know exactly what she did after she kissed us good night because I know that sometimes there are parts of you that you wish to keep to yourself, especially from your children.
After skipping out on a few court hearings, my father gained custody, again without much notice. I was 9 at the time and my brother was 12. From then onward, we would only see her in spurts until she died roughly 15 years later from a 3 year stint with cancer she chose not to battle and subsequently told no one about.
Prior to that though she reestablished a somewhat functional relationship with my brother, but I was still skeptical, and as a result it would take a couple tries for her to succeed. That time occurred when I had just started college. I guess she figured that if she couldn't connect with me as her daughter, she would connect with me as a woman. It worked. Before long, we were talking daily for at least a half an hour on the phone about everything from boys to politics, and the mysticism that I always remember her being interested in but she was finally learning to embrace. After a stunted career and some failed relationships that brought her up the coast and back again, she found herself taking care of her elderly parents, making regular walks to the library to read about world religions. She bought a deck of tarot cards and taught me how to read them long distance. From her I would learn how to interpret my dreams in the literal sense. As a young woman trying to find her own identity, my mother appealed to my sense of rebellion, much to my father's distain. He would accuse her of "unparenting" me while talking to relatives, remarking that it's easy to look cool when you have the luxury of not handling any of the discipline.
Our relationship would still be strained though, with her trying to be my mom, and me seeing her more like a really cool aunt.
I reckon that when you live that fast, dying young is inevitable, hence why she chose to let her illness take her. I didn't have time to ask, but I don't believe she saw anything really worth sticking around for, which is painful to say as her child but reasonable when I consider her as a woman. The thing with my mother was that she made no qualms about the fact that she was a woman first and a mother second. Some would shun that ideology calling it selfish, and maybe it was, but it was honest. Furthermore, while she seemed to let other things challenge her identity, motherhood was not one of them-a quality which I find admirable in retrospect.
She was able to keep that identity even until death, making jokes until the sickness took her organs quietly and put her to sleep. She ran her fingers through my hair as the last maternal act she would ever give to me, telling me that she loved me and that she was so proud. At that point I hadn't done anything worth being proud of yet. I had graduated college, (expected) and had a decent paying job, (again expected) but it was nothing to brag about. She loved me regardless, knowing the me as her baby and as the person I meant to her- a person that I still don't quite understand.
But it's not about that. It's about her. All her flaws and all her gems, all her laughter and all her pain, every mile of her beautifully beaten road and every second of her widely misunderstood life. My mother was a lucid, wild, woman who was unapologetically herself, and because of that I got to see her in a light that most children will never get the privilege of seeing their mothers in.
So here's to you, Mama. Here's to forest green, gold jewelry, Virginia Slims cigarettes, and coffee with milk and one sugar. He's to the color your brought, the color you left, and the color I keep within me. Thank you.

Otherwise known as Intestate Succession, the rules function a default plan to specify how assets are shared if it is not explicitly stated in the will, or if there is no will at all.

He graduated from Carleton University where he studied Mass Communication and Business and took the city by storm with his big ideas for the capital.
In 1994 the first ever Ottawa Bluesfest was held at Majors Hill Park with an attendance of around 5000 people. 20 years later, the festival has grown to encompass a budget of over $12 million and attract audiences of over 300,000 people. While all Ottawans know Bluesfest as a star-studded event, Mark places great focus on including local artists into the festival. He is part of an organization called 'Be In A Band' which gives children the opportunity to experience the challenges and rewards of being in a real band. As the festival reaches it's 21st cycle, Mark will be discussing all the challenges and successes of his career as well as providing attendees with insights into the event planning process and it's strong dependence on and alliance with media and communications.

We are not a kennels, our dogs live as part of our family, in our home not outside, sharing our lives and taking up most of our time (and money!). We have occasionally had puppies over the years, but these are usually pre-booked and homed to people we know and trust within the dog sports community. If you think you are interested in a future litter, please email me with lots of information about yourself and the life you can provide for one of our babies.... if you cant take the time to send more than one line, im sorry but you dont have time for one of my pups! ALL of my pups leave with contracts not for breeding, or export, and all on the condition they will be returned to me should they ever need a new home.

Happy Valley 22nd October
What should have been a good night turned out to be disappointing through a combination of bad luck and inattention on my part. Not so Happy Valley. It should have been a tidy profit, but wasn't.
- Both Lucky 1st was rated $7.70 and paid $22 in race 6 and a good overlay was missed due technical issues (internet offline). We continue to find good value winners. We backed the third horse Mr Ginger but forgot to save on Both Lucky #stupid!!! Cost us a winning night #humanerror
- Ten Flames 1st an easy winner (rated $2.35 and $2.80 was available the night before race day) was an early bet and looked a good thing but has not been counted in official figures because not all members got set.
- Bright Concept 2nd Looked home and inexplicably hung off the rail to let the winner Winning Mascot through late in the race.
- In race 1 Giddy Giddy: ....... 2.94 / 1.7 units win 2nd I decided to take on Idyllic Wind here with Giddy Giddy dropping in class it looked a good bet. Idyllic is in rare form and just got the better of our overlay in the shadows of the post. Saver bet No - 10 - Forever Fun: ....... 5.23 / 0.2 units saver 7th
- Only other bet was Strong Foundation 3rd in race 7.
OUT: 10.87 units IN: 0 units
Both Lucky would have had us at +2 units for the night instead of a loss. Grrrr.

During the most emotional episode yet of "Big Brother" Season 19, the "V" word was thrown around for the first time in relation to Cody Nickson. The controversial houseguest, who was evicted last month only to return thanks to the Battle Back Showdown, got in a fight with Head of Household Paul Abrahamian after he and Jessica Graf were nominated for eviction. "Seriously, how am I a villain now?" Cody asked his showmance partner Jessica after their dramatic blowup in the HOH room. What do YOU think, "Big Brother" fans: Is Cody a villain? Vote in our poll below.
"Am I gonna have to deal with this in reality, too?" Jessica asked Cody following their confrontation with Paul that nearly ended in a fistfight. "You just being a hothead, getting into fights with everyone? Over what? Literally over what?" Jessica and Cody continued feuding throughout the episode, but they weren't the only ones.
Mark Jansen and Josh Martinez almost came to blows in the kitchen after Josh continued his aggravating assault on Mark by banging frying pans together. "I was bullied as a kid," Mark confessed in the diary room. "And this strikes a nerve. Ever since I learned where the gym was, I never got bullied. But that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt."
A subdued Cody later told Mark, "We would have ran this damn thing if Paul would have never came around. I didn't like Paul from the start. Jessica is convinced I'm a villain now. Even if she does [calm down], her default is always to blame me."
The arguing and bickering filled so much of Episode 17 of "Big Brother" that we didn't even get to see the Veto ceremony. Will the Veto winner Paul decide to use his power to save Jessica, Cody or Jason Dent? Or will he let Jessica save all three by utilizing her Halting Hex temptation? Find out Thursday night when "Big Brother" continues on CBS.

They called the legislation Oregon Promise. The headlines trumpeted, "Free community college tuition." Chemeketa staff wondered how this opportunity will affect enrollment. How will the Oregon Promise students do in college-level classes?
Now the promise is real. We have learned a lot and there is still more to be revealed.
Chemeketa welcomed over 1,070 recipients of the Oregon Promise grant fall term. Oregon Promise students are probably the reason why Chemeketa enrolled nearly 300 more students than usual directly from high school this fall.
We have hired two new advisors to help our Oregon Promise students succeed. Rebeka Phelps comes to us from PCC where she worked in academic advising and study skills.
Jose Ceja-Garibay is a Chemeketa success story. Jose was part of the first cohort of Chemeketa Scholars and a College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP) student. Jose has worked in our Academic Development department since graduating. Their enthusiasm for their work is palpable.
"We're looking at something brand new," said Rebeka, "and going in a direction that has never been done before."
Jose added, "I've always loved how Chemeketa is a community and we want the Oregon Promise students to feel that connection and be well-informed so they succeed."
Rebeka and Jose plan to implement innovative communication channels like Snapchat, a dedicated Facebook presence and responding to notifications from faculty when students are struggling.
What's next?
Our OP students have to meet criteria to maintain their eligibility –
- Register for at least half-time (6 credits) fall term 2016
- Remain enrolled at least half-time for three consecutive terms each year
- Complete and maintain 2.0 GPA
- Pass at least 67% of attempted credits
- Complete and pass Chemeketa's First Year Experience class Creating College Success in their first year
- Work toward completion of a certificate or a degree
The Legislature will consider renewing Oregon Promise funding for the 2017-18 academic year during the upcoming session.

I'm not sure if our tree has ever been in the same place more than twice since living here. Big Bertha has spent many a holiday with different vantage points over all of our festivities. I like to think it's a nice change for the old girl. And that's another thing. Poor, poor Bertha. Poor old Bertha. She was a pathetic thing last year. I am honestly embarrassed looking back at pictures of how awful she looked. Half of the lights out...and apparently I had no energy to do anything about it or even care. We did our best to fill in the gaps this year...give her a little dignity...but I foresee Christmas tree shopping after the holidays this year. Eric and I bought that tree nearly a decade ago...so she has served us well. Maybe we'll keep her around for good measure. She can be our basement tree when we move. ;)
I was pleasantly surprised when Eric didn't make much of a fuss at all about carrying up our behemoth friend from the basement and putting it together. :) After I messed with the lights and strung the beads, the kids completely took over. I just manned my mom station calling out, "Er...why don't we space those out a bit" at regular intervals and trying not to twitch too much when four of the same ornament were placed on the same branch.
Evelyn climbed to new heights trying to get a few ornaments at the top of the tree. I didn't even yell at her for standing on the couch arms. ;)
Charlotte had fun rolling around in glitter and fake pine needles. Seriously, why do even fake pine needles shed so bad? If there is such thing as a non-shedding Christmas tree, you just go ahead and let me know. And if not, someone should get on that, stat.
We have gotten to the point now where we've collected so many ornaments from so many places that I've forgotten where some of them came from. Before kids I was much more particular about having "matching" ornaments...now I love the hodge-podge that comes with years of living. It's like a scrapbook of memories...on a giant shrub. Our kids love discovering and re-discovering all of the different ornaments, too. I love hearing their gasps and their laughter when they find a favorite. In those moments I can remember those same magical feelings from when I was a kid, and boy does that get my traditional glad tidings tingling.
In the end we're not winning any awards for the most posh or put together Christmas tree, but we definitely get a beloved honorary member of the family for a month. We keep our tree on all day long every day of the season. It makes everything a little more cheery and makes coming home even more fun. I love it! It is quite possibly one of my favorite parts of Christmas.
Now that we have finally reached December we can look forward to many nights watching movies and eating cookies by the glow of twinkle lights. The kids will want hot chocolate every.single.night. We'll stay toasty warm and eat way too much popcorn. And I'll swat Reagan away from the Christmas presents he's trying to sneak open for the twentieth time while no one is looking. Just another December in the Robert household!
One last year, sweet Bertha. One last year!

India to provide shelter to Taslima Nasreen: Pranab MukherjeeNovember 28th, 2007 - 4:26 pm ICT by admin
New Delhi, Nov 28 (ANI): The Government today said that controversial Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasreen would continue to get shelter in India but was expected to refrain from any activity that may hurt the sentiments of the people.
Making a statement in the Lok Sabha, External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee said "throughout history, India has never refused shelter to those who have come and sought our protection."
Mukherjee, who made the statement amid demands that Taslima be asked to leave the country, said the guests in India are provided protection by the Union and State governments.
"This policy will also apply in Taslima's case," the Minister said as he noted the issue related to the Bangladeshi writer had attracted "considerable public attention" in recent days.
Mukherjee's statement came as Nasreen continued to be at an undisclosed place under the custody of the Central Government.
Taslima arrived in Delhi on Friday evening after being taken to Jaipur from Kolkata following protests by people belonging to the minority community.
The BJP, on Sunday, had demanded political refugee status for Taslima.
Taslima's visa to stay in India is valid till February 17, 2008, and she has been living in exile for over ten years.
Since the 1990s, she has faced numerous threats from Islamic groups for her writings. Recently, activists of the Majlis Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) attacked her at a book release function in Hyderabad.
The European Parliament awarded her the Sakharov Prize for freedom of thought in 1994. (ANI)

new year resolutions
Hi loves! Can you believe we're only a mere 48 hours until the start of 2015?! It's safe to say that each passing year seems to go by faster than the last! But I can't lie, New Year's Eve/Day is one of my favorite holidays to celebrate. Not because of the bubbly champagne, night full of dancing, or that amazing kiss as the clock strikes midnight, but because it ushers in a fresh start!
Now, I know we all write up a few new goals for the coming year, but honestly, we don't make it past January 15th before we retreat back to our old ways. So, I challenge each of you to make more realistic goals! Try creating a list of goals that you can work on daily and use any existing resources you might have.
I've listed my 2015 resolutions above! Let me explain how I came up with them and how I plan to actually follow through!
1. Find a goal you truly want to work on and improve
2. Determine if that goal is realistic for you in your current situation
3. Ask yourself if you have (or can get/purchase) the necessary resources to help
4. Create a simple plan you can follow to accomplish your resolution for the upcoming year.
For example, one of my major 2015 resolutions is to travel more. Following step 1 from above, I decided this was a goal I truly wanted to work on. I hardly ever get to travel, and I feel that I'm at a point in life where traveling is finally an option for me. Next, I had to determine if this goal was even realistic for me in my current situation. Of course it is! I'm a healthy 22 year old lady who has nothing holding me back! And lastly, I have to ask myself, "do I even have the resources to travel more?". Now that I'm working 40 hours each week and finally have a salary, I definitely have a few extra pennies to put aside for new adventures. And lastly, create a plan to help you accomplish your new resolution. So, in order for me to take an upcoming trip to Mexico in 2015, I have to set aside a certain portion of my pay each month, research travel and hotel accommodations, and lock in a date! Once I've got all
So with a few helpful steps to get you started, I challenge you to list out your 2015 resolutions and stick to them!
