From 31 flavors of ice cream, to 31 flavors of…gender?
I remember growing up in Germany in a military community in the 1980's, and it was a huge thing when certain franchises that were common in America, came overseas. For example, I remember when they opened the first Baskin-Robbins in Frankfurt. It was a huge deal. The line was forever long from the time it opened, until they ran out of ice cream about half-way through the day. It was like that virtually every day, for months, particularly in the summer-time, because it was the only American style ice cream store in all of Germany.
You know, the Baskin-Robbins website tells us this about the founders, Burton "Burt" Baskin and Irvine "Irv" Robbins.
Nearly three-quarters of a century ago, two brothers-in-law shared a dream to create an innovative ice cream store that would be a neighborhood gathering place for families. Burton "Burt" Baskin and Irvine "Irv" Robbins had a mutual love of old-fashioned ice cream and the desire to provide customers a variety of flavors made with ingredients of the highest quality in a fun, inviting atmosphere.
The whole "31 Flavors" thing immediately came to my mind when I saw something come across my news feed from Fox News. The city of New York, led by their Communist-in-Chief, Mayor Bill de Blasio, has decided to forgo the normal chocolate or vanilla flavors of MAN or WOMAN for gender, and offer its citizens the opportunity to choose to identify from "31 Flavors" of…gender!!
Yep, you read that correctly, "31 Flavors" of GENDER. The city's Commission on Human Rights has not only decided to acknowledge such "genders" as "gender gifted", and "two spirit", but they are also threatening businesses with fines in excess of $100,000 for failure to respect and accommodate individuals who feel their "gender" can be anything other than chocolate or vanilla.
You know, Baskin-Robbins became famous because their "31 Flavors" slogan promoted the idea that a customer could have a different flavor of ice cream every day of any month. Well, I guess New York City wants to become infamous for promoting the idea that a human being could have a different "flavor" of "gender" every day of any month.

Hillary Clinton enthusiastically answered questions raised by eager youngsters in the ISD theatre during her visit to Bangladesh in 2012. Her vision for Bangladesh's emergence as a strong developing economy left the future leaders of this country with promises of opportunities coming their way. When asked how she overcame the obstacles as a woman to become one of the most influential women in the world today, she emphasized the importance of a good education and the support of her parents!
"Tasher Desh" is one of Rabindranath Tagore's famous dance operas, a unique genre he developed which was inspired by the Western Opera. It is inspired by Alice in Wonderland and is a satire on the rigidity of the class systems of the British Raj and India. Tagore wrote the script and composed the melodies of the piece which was first performed in Kolkata in 1923.
Shadhona, a Centre for Advancement of South Asian Dance & Music, staged the performance in ISD in November, 2011.
Through several initiatives, JAAGO reaches out to the youth of Bangladesh to involve them in extending educational facilities to those who are underprivileged. Universal Children's Day (UCD) is an initiative through which students of many schools, including ISD, partake in raising funds for street children, by selling flowers on the roads of Dhaka. The children are treated to a day of fun which is conducted through volunteering by the students as well. ISD has an ongoing affiliation with JAAGO and their remarkable work.
The Weekend School was initiated by an ISD Graduate, Adeeb Tawsif. Every Saturday, children from JAAGO and currently the School of Hope come and enjoy the ISD facilities. They swim, play music and sports with ISD students, who volunteer their time happily for the day.
ISD Parent Teacher Association (PTA) plays an integral role in the ISD community. It organizes several events and carries out other fund-raising activities.
PTA Fair
One of the biggest events for the ISD community is the PTA Fair, which takes place in December, right before school closes. Stalls range from NGOs to boutiques, food and countless others. There are live musical performances by ISD's house band, a fashion show and a raffle prize distribution. The fair is open to all, including the general public and is a fun-filled day to enjoy with family and friends.
PTA Iftar
In the holy month of Ramadan, the PTA organizes an Iftar evening for members of the ISD community. It is a great initiative and an opportunity for the overseas staff to experience something new.
Guest speakers come to events like UN Week and career days.

Hi friends,
Welcome to my blog.I am here again sharing one more recycling project.
Shoe boxes are my favourite.
This month I recycled a Shoe box with pattern paper,decoupage napkin and few more carton boxes
I attached carton boxes on top of the shoe box (resembling small towers) to hold small pencil,scissors,gum etc.Each box can be opened, you can dismantle the whole tower seperately.Main idea is to keep only most needed items handy.without opening the shoe box.
In fig-1 small velcro tape is pasted.Plastic lid is pasted on to the velcro(fig-2)
artificial leaves are pasted to cover the plastic lid(fig-3).The tower structure can be removed from the
top portion of the box.(fig-4
pattern paper is pasted inside the box.
While opening the box.Whole tower can be removed
Small box which can hold only a scissor and an inchtape,A glue and a marker pen, are the ones
needed frequently.So it is stored at the top for easy reach
Thanks for stopping
Have a crafty creative week!

These figurines are from a magazine which I hoarded for a long time.

Miniature Garden
Hi friends,I am back with a miniature garden,as promised in my last post ,this broken pot is one of the items which was hidden for a long time in my junk yard .I could not find proper material to build steps,then I found these Tiles,which s are used as steps.
Succulents are multiplied by cuttings.Thumb rule is not to over water it.It needs plenty of sunlight.
Floating plants are added to the small pond .Iron with moist planting mixture tends to rust in due course, and is considered to be one of the best nutrients for the plant.It is already 20 days since I planted keeping it in semi shaded area.Already I see new leaves sprouting from the branches which makes me so happy.I feel whether you a have a small or large garden Miniature garden is a mustfor any garden enthusiasts.Space and container is not a question at all you can grow it in any container.It thrives in a window sill ,balcony anywhere, where there is enough sunlight.hoping to do more in the coming months.If you have any questions/suggestions please do drop me a line,I would be delighted to be of help.
Thanks for visiting
Have a Creative week!

This is the full view along with the water lilies.
One more miniature I tried with Iron pan which was quite heavy and it is highly impossible to dig a hole.
Thick Plastic sheet with hole is placed over the pan before filling the potting mixture.
Plants with small leaves are ideal for miniature garden.Coupia ,Spatyphyllum dwarf are planted.

Detailing his experience to Real Business, we heard from a creative industry founder, who has declared the space can be lonely for people of colour.
As we continue profiling entrepreneurs for Black History Month, one founder explains why he was forced to turn away a client who made an outrageous remark.
In addition to leading the business direction and strategy at his firm, Ed Macnair is keen to foster a solid culture too and brings with him lessons from an armed forces background, which shaped his way of thinking.
Choosing suppliers can be a confusing and daunting task, but Total Gas & Power's fixed price gas and electricity products are designed to be simple and transparent – so you can get on with running your business.

The hosts Bangladesh finally manage a win and now even they are in the race for the finals. Depends on how good or bad the other teams fare. UAE not out yet but almost not in the contention anymore. Sri Lanka managed a narrow win over the UAE whereas India nailed a comprehensive win over Bangladesh. Now it's time for mother of all matches - India vs Pakistan. Pakistan play their first match of Asia Cup 2016 against India. What a start for them! Bang on! Watch India vs Pakistan 2016 T20 match live streaming and scores on HotStar and live telecast with Hindi and English commentary on Star Sports network and DD National (Doordarshan).
India have won the Asia Cup five times. Pakistan have won it twice. When we talk about the head to head count, it's settled at 5-5. One of the two teams will take the lead today in this count. This would a great trailer for the India vs Pakistan match that would take place during the T20 world cup 2016.
Both the teams are well equipped with good players as well as good preparations. Pakistani players have got a good rhythm with Pakistan Super League - PSL. Indians played against Australia and Sri Lanka in the T20 matches and nailed six wins out of seven.
India vs Pakistan affairs were affectionately loved over the cricketing world. But the matches between these two teams have been really scarce due to political issues. The last match played between these two nations was a year back in Cricket World Cup 2015. India won that match by 76 runs.
Will team India continue their winning run over Pakistan in the ICC event or will Shahid Afridi's men turn tables on team India at Mirpur today? Exciting prospect!
Tainted bowler Amir might get a chance to play in the Pakistan XI today. He would be man to watch. He is well known for his wicket taking ability and can be a lethal bowling weapon for Shahid Afridi. The team expects a lot from Shahid Afridi who can bat well and come in handy with his bowling.
Indian squad looks settled with Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan at the the top. Middle order is rock solid with Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina and MS Dhoni. Pandya is doing well with his pinch hitting. Spinners R Ashwin, Jadeja, Yuvraj and Raina. Pandya, Bhuvaneshwar and Ashish Nehra can take good care of the quickies department.
Cricket is a game of uncertainties but one this is certain today. Sher-e-Bangla stadium at Mirpur in Dhaka will be packed with cricket fans and they would be treated with an exceptional cricket match between arch rivals India and Pakistan. Enjoy your Saturday, have fun and watch the cricket match live on HotStar and Star Sports in India.

Public Meeting on I-26 Connector 4B Alternative
Tuesday, September 20, 7pm
New Isaac Dickson Elementary School Auditorium
125 Hill Street
Suzanne Devane
With the decision earlier this year by NCDOT to move forward with the 4B Alternative as its preferred option for Section B of the I-26 Connector proposal, the project that never actually happens appears to be back on track and poised for construction. Because the MNA took a broad position on this project in 2009 that has not been adequately responded to in the 4B Alternative, the MNA Board is convening a community forum on Tuesday evening, September 20, so we can hear directly from NCDOT officials about the project and its ramifications not only to Montford, but also to Asheville's western front door to downtown. (For the MNA position in 2009: montford.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/I-26-Montford-Position-7_18.pdf)
The goal of the meeting is to provide residents of Asheville—on the east side of the French Broad River living or working north of the Bowen Bridge—with a realistic understanding of whether any potential design adjustments can be made to remedy the negative impacts that will accompany the construction of 4B. The MNA Board has asked the Department of Transportation to send officials who will be able to answer design and mitigation questions with specific, detailed answers.
Many people think the 4B Alternative is the design conceived by the Asheville Design Center in 2008, but that's wrong—it's radically different. As a result, a great deal of clarification is needed to ensure people understand the consequences of building 4B as presented by NCDOT. The MNA I-26 Connector Committee has asked NCDOT to provide the following:
- A detailed Project Design including height elevations (from highest to lowest points) for the 5-story tall I-26 structures and the I-240 flyovers; number and location of lanes relative to the current highway structures; a primer of the issues that NCDOT took into consideration in designing the 4B Alternative presented in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS), and what the Department will need to take into consideration when determining the final overall height, width, location, and number of lanes.
- An updated list and location of residential and commercial properties that will be impacted by the project in terms of full or partial eminent domain takings; as well as an indication of which residences, businesses, and historical/cultural landmarks will likely suffer negative visual impacts from the elevated highways and the construction of any sound walls.
- A discussion of noise impacts including how many homes will experience noise level increases at varying points from the elevated highways, including a full explanation of the exact locations where any potential sound walls could be built, as well as the identification of and explanation for locations where they would not be feasible or effective.
- Clarification as to where additional lanes of I-26 would be built relative to Riverside Drive because the land at the entire western edge of Montford poses a high or moderate hazard in terms of land stability and is a potential debris flow pathway. It is critical to know what NCDOT will do to ensure the structural integrity of the homes situated above.
- Discussion of air pollution impacts on the children going to school at the new Isaac Dickson Elementary School and living in Hillcrest due to the major increase in commercial vehicles and cars that will be traveling in proximity to these two sensitive areas.
We urge all concerned residents to mark their calendars and attend this forum while there is still time to have a say on a project that will change the face of Asheville forever. Mayor Esther Manheimer, Council members Cecil Bothwell and Gordon Smith, as well as State Representative Susan Fisher have all committed to being at the forum. We will be handing out cards for written questions from the audience, so please come prepared to participate! You can view the full list of issues we've asked NCDOT to address at:

Last week I pulled the trigger on a new lens, one that I swore i wasn't going to purchase. The Fuji 10-24mm arrived a few days ago, but due to other commitment,s and the weather I had not had a chance to shoot outdoors with it much. This lens will replace the legendary 14mm, one lens I thought i would never change. So what was it like out in the field? Quite simply it's outstanding. So with the promise of some spring sunshine, I took off from the gallery a little early and headed of to Minninglow near Parwich. It's been a year since I last visited the place, and I am always happy to be back for a wander round the Bronze age site. It's a great place to spend an hour or two, very easy access from the Tissington trail.
So how does the 10-24mm compare to my much loved 14mm. Well I can say without a doubt that it seems to me to be pretty equal, maybe the 14mm edges it in micro contrast just. The 14mm has a marked aperture ring, and it's a shame that Fuji didn't use the same marked ring on the ultra wide. However the differences in extra viewing real estate is the real issue for me.
I always felt I was comprising my composition with the 14mm, for ultimate landscape work the 14mm is just not wide enough. As an example the image below of the dead branch would not have had the same perspective with the 14mm, some may say I could have stepped backwards, however there were things in the way which would have altered the composition for me, so it was not possible, I could have altered my viewing angle but that would have meant losing part of the image either top or bottom, again not realistic.
I know many have said the extra weight of the wide zoom is an issue, yes it's a larger lens than the 14mm but on the Xt1 with battery grip the combo weighs in at just over 1 kilo. On my D3 with a 24-70 f2.8 Sigma lens weighs in at over 2 kilos. Toting around the 10-24 on the Xt1 isn't that bigger deal. The OIS system on the 10-24mm is staggering, I have shot images at 1/8th of a second hand held without loss of clarity. F4 or F2.8 about the same when you take into account the OIS factor. Lens flare is apparent when the sun is low in the sky, but its not ugly flare, the starburst effect though is a nice feature you see this happen when stopping down the lens past F11.
The lens is very well made and certainly feels nicely balanced on the Xt1, the lens hood is pretty good, a better fit than on the 14mm which on my version had a tendency to fall off at random times. I feel the lens attains focus a little faster than the 14mm, but its not a game changer TBH. The lens is another fine optic from Fuji, has all the hallmarks of Fuji design, great sharpness, great colour and contrast.
For me the Pro's definately outweigh the Cons I really struggle actually to have any. The only real issue for me is the lack of markings on the aperture ring, it's so nice to be able to set the aperture without looking thru the EVF. The manual focus to Af clutch mechanism was a real cool touch on the 14mm, as was the superb build quality. The 10-24mm build quality is pretty damn good. My all time favourite lens for a long time, was the Nikon G 16-35 F4, it was and still is a stellar piece of glass, the ideal focal length for landscape and travel photography. The Fuji 10-24 is certainly on par with that lens.
Hope you enjoy the rest of the images.

Wishi Washi? I think not!
Wednesday, April 3, 2013
Washi Tape is growing ever more popular. It's a quick, easy pop of color and pattern. It gives a casual vibe to your project, perfect for a modern look.
I'm just starting to jump on the washi tape bandwagon and sometimes I find myself wishing I had a particular color or pattern on hand.
Wishing for washi. Hee hee!
Recently I attended Close to My Heart's album retreat and learned a new technique to create a faux washi tape look. As a stamper, I have every ink color in the rainbow, and tons of patterned stamps. Here's a quick and easy way to add the trendy look of washi tape using your own stamps and inks, without spending a cent!
The quickest method is to stamp off the edge of the paper.
By stamping off-kilter, you'll create a more playful and haphazard design.
If you want to create a smaller piece of tape, without running off the sides of your paper, use a mask to block the unwanted portion of your stamp (below).
Here I have placed a piece of copy paper over my cardstock, leaving the right side exposed (above). This will "mask" the base cardstock from the unwanted portion of my stamp.
Ink and stamp. Remove the copy paper mask.

Academia lecture
Pathogenesis of Vascular Permeability in Diabetic Macular Edema
by Tatsuro Ishibashi MD
(Department of Ophthalmology, Graduate School of Medical Science, Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan)
The recent development of new therapeutic agents together with refined surgical interventions could drastically improve the prognosis of diabetic retinopathy (DR). Currently, diabetic macular edema (DME) is the major cause of vision loss in DR patients. Therefore, a better understanding of the pathogenesis of DME is needed to develop effective therapeutic strategies.
The breakdown of the inner blood-retinal barrier (BRB) can be considered as a main cause of DME. This results in leakage from hyperpermeable capillaries and microaneurysms. In the inner BRB that regulates the entry of molecules into the inner retina, two vascular permeability pathways have been proposed: the paracellular pathway involving endothelial cell tight junctions, and the endothelial transcellular pathway mediated by endocytotic vesicles. Vascular endotherial growth factor (VEGF) is a principal mediator of endothelial permeability in DME. The therapeutic use of VEGF inhibitors has revolutionized the treatment of DME, allowing recovery of lost vision. However, a caveat is the need for repeated injections as well as the existence of non-responders. This exemplifies the need for new therapeutic strategies with an outreach "beyond VEGF".
In this lecture, I will focus on the mechanism of VEGF-induced vascular permeability in DME and summarize the future "beyond VEGF" therapeutic strategies that could help treat the current anti-VEGF resistant DR population.
April 30,2014, Prof. Juan Verdaguer was awarded the National Prize for Medicine in Chile. This prize is awarded every two years to a Medical Doctor by a jury composed by the National Academy of Medicine, the Association of University Faculties of Medicine, the Association of Medical Scientific Societies and the Medical College of Chile, on the basis of contributions to teaching, research, public health, ethics, etc. It was the first time this distinction was awarded to an ophthalmologist; the award usually went to internists, surgeons or pediatricians.
The following prizes were given to Academia members during WOC 2014:
Bradley Straatsma, MD: JD Bernardo Streiff Gold Medal. The Streiff Medal is presented every 4 years "to an ophthalmologist who has contributed most, through history, ethics and education, to the advance of ophthalmology." Medal nominees are proposed by an AOI Awards Committee and the AOI Membership; then, an election by secret ballot determines the recipient of the Medal.
Peter Watson FRCOphth: Jules François Gold Medal
Richard Abbott MD: International Duke Elder Medal
Mark Tso MD, DSc: International Council of Ophthalmology Ophthalmic Pathology Award
Charles Mc Ghee, MD, FRCS, FROphth: Golden Apple Award

Thanks for your feedback!
WOW!This book was amazing, it's just become my favorite book of the series thank you Toni Aleo. The journey through addiction that Jordie takes is astounding but what is even more is the journey out of addiction. With a damaged past he fights for his future in hockey and the life he wants with Kacey. They are both strong willed people but both want the same thing each other. The fight is hard fought with set backs but when life is your end goal you fight harder and they did. I was also deeply touched by the message at the end of the book and it proves to me that when something or someone is important enough to change for you do whatever you need to do, no matter how many times you stumble you just keep on fighting.by Christina on August 17, 2015

Toni Aleo NEVER disappoints!HOLY SMOKES!!! I am just making it known now.. JORDIE IS MINE!! Wow.. Toni hits it out of the ball park yet again with this story. I laughed, I cried, I swore. This book had everything I wanted and needed and more! Jordie is such a complex character. He is battling his demons and fighting for what he wants. He tries to get through it all and Kacey gives him as good as he gets. Mostly because he deserves it. Especially from her. But when they come together it is like wild fire. The chemistry and hotness between the two is scorching! Once Jordie finally gets to the right point, he is nothing but ice melting, heart stopping, sexy alpha. Kacey as much as she drove me bonkers at points, I couldn't fault her for them with everything that had happened. My heart broke during parts. Both for Kacey and for Jordie. What I love about this book is the overflow of characters from past books in the series. Karson and Lacey make me laugh so hard sometimes as well as their parents. Karl is OMG hilarious. Reminds me of my own father. The book is to me very well written and flows amazingly. The research and effort spent by Toni about hockey and all the other heavy moments is bar none. If you love sexy alpha's, hockey and some kick ass women... this book series is a MUST! (PS GO CANUCKS)by Suzanne Talkington on August 10, 2015

With investors still wary of the problems that plagued so many large brokerage firms during the 2008 Wall Street meltdown, many are turning to smaller, local institutions as their source of trusted financial advice.
With that new willingness to invest locally, many regional and community banks and credit unions now have the opportunity to permanently shift their positions to compete directly with larger firms for the affluent investor.
The question becomes: How many will do so?
Long considered the transaction training ground for the larger, supposedly more sophisticated firms, many smaller financial institution investment programs have essentially caught up with their large firm competitors in terms of product and service offering. What they lack is awareness among affluent and high-net-worth investors that they even offer financial planning and investment services, and that they do it well.
"In the past, banks were looking a lot more at the bottom line and have been more transaction product driven," says Larry Langemo, SVP of Insurance and Financial Solutions of Bismarck, N.D.-based Investment Centers of America. "But since 2001 and especially since 2008, they've come a long way in enhancing their product offering and adopting a more financial planning oriented wealth management approach."
Kevin Mummau, EVP of Program Development at CUSO Financial Services/Sorento Pacific Financial in San Diego, agrees. "The basic planning services that were previously thought of as only necessary for the high net worth investor have become important to everybody."
While the mass affluent investors-those with less than $1 million in investable assets-have been increasingly willing to seek advice from their community bank or credit union, affluent and high net worth investors with more than $1 million of investable assets seldom view their financial institution as the place to receive investment advice. "The mass affluent don't consider themselves to be rich, so they don't feel as comfortable going to some of the higher end institutions," says Andrew Heiges, President of Acumen Financial Services Consulting in Doylestown, Penn. "Whereas the affluent and high net worth will go there because the marketing messages create the perception that their services are tailored specifically to them."
According to research from the Spectrem Group of Lake Forest, Ill., only 2% of the affluent and less than 1% of the high net worth view their banker or bank investment advisor as their primary financial advisor. Among the mass affluent, that number increases to 8%, but clearly still indicates huge opportunity for growth.
So how do you raise both the awareness and credibility of your investment services program? Here are four suggestions.
1. Position the program as a core offering. From the C-level executives down, your investment services program needs to be positioned as a core offering of the institution to both your customers and staff. "The top executives at the institution need to embrace investment services and send the message that not only are we going to do investments, we're going to be good at it," says Mummau. "The whole staff needs to be aware that it's not about selling mutual funds or annuities, it's about helping people build their futures."
That message then needs to be communicated through consistent marketing so that customers begin to associate the institution with comprehensive financial services. "It's really more about awareness than credibility," says Mummau. "Many people don't yet realize their local bank or credit union even does mortgages, let alone investments. They need to get the word out."
2. Create a consistent client experience. Regardless of which branch or which advisor your customer sits down with, they should have a consistent client experience that delivers the promise your institution makes. "Wirehouse advisors have greater independence and greater entrepreneurial latitude to build their business the way they want," according to Heiges. That often results in widely varying service models among branches. Financial institutions on the other hand, "have the opportunity to create a more institutionalized process and standardized way of delivering services."
3. Recruit experienced advisors who utilize a financial planning approach. As the point of service delivery, the approach your advisors take when dealing with clients and prospects is truly the litmus test by which your program will be judged. "It comes down to how the broker goes about his business," says Langemo. "He needs to take his time and develop a holistic process around creating a financial plan."
Thankfully, recruiting those kinds of advisors is becoming easier. Whereas in the past it was rare to see a top producing wirehouse advisor join a bank program, today it has become relatively common for two reasons.
First, independent and wirehouse advisors are finally beginning to recognize what those who have been in this channel for years have long recognized: The value of having a built-in prospect base that already has an affinity for the institution. With the reputation of many Wall Street firms taking a hit over the past few years, many advisors are recognizing that the mass affluent investor's trust of their local financial institution can open the doors to significant investment relationships.
Second, when they open the hood to really see the scope of products and services being offered by bank and credit union programs, many former independent or wirehouse reps are surprisingly impressed by what they find. "I've had several advisors come over from major wirehouses who have told me that we have a much broader diversity of products than what they had at their wirehouse," says Sandra DeChastain, a Regional Program Manager for CUSO Financial Services.
4. Provide credible support. While the relationship is often initiated based on the trust, competence and professionalism of the advisor, it is reinforced and reconfirmed by the ongoing support provided by the institution. In today's world this means having both a strong web-based technology platform and efficient live customer service. Today's affluent investor expects to be able to access their accounts with a single sign-on, view and download account and tax information online and transfer funds between their bank and investment accounts. If their advisor is not available when they call, affluent investors expect personalized access to a qualified customer service rep who can answer questions or act as intermediary between them and their advisor.
If there is a shortcoming among most financial institution programs, it's simply in the fact that the client-to-advisor ratio is typically so high as to prevent the advisor from providing the kind of personalized service the affluent market demands.
Where the typical wirehouse advisor will manage 100 to 200 client households, it is not unusual for the average bank advisor to service 1,200 or more. "Most regional bank and credit union programs are struggling to hire enough reps to provide solid coverage to the mass affluent," says Mummau. "Working either as an investment rep or with an investment rep in a community bank or credit union is one of the best kept secrets in our industry."
The bottom line is that now is the time for smaller regional or community banks and credit unions to step up their game. Rather than offering investment services as a defensive measure, they now have the opportunity to shift their brands up-market to appeal to a more affluent customer with all the institution's products and services.
Doing so may require some re-structuring of the traditional services program model to create a consistent client experience.
But if those smaller institutions adopt a financial planning approach with partners who provide top-tier technology, that will go a long way in conveying the message that the same services that investors traditionally sought on Wall Street can also be found on Main Street.

Construction Management
Construction Management is the overall planning, coordination, and control of a project from beginning to completion. Construction Management is aimed at meeting a client's requirement in order to produce a functionally and financially viable project. A construction manager is responsible for seeing that the construction project runs smoothly. These responsibilities include advising the owner on construction-related elements of the project, giving recommendations during pre-design, design, and construction. In addition to these responsibilities, a Construction Manager oversees the construction schedule, resolves any issues that may arise, and works closely with you, the owner, to ensure that you are up to date on the status of the work being completed.
Construction Management at-Risk (CMR)
Construction Management at-Risk is a delivery method which entails a commitment by the construction manager to deliver the project within a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). The Construction Manager acts as a consultant to the owner in the development and design phases (pre-construction services), and as a General Contractor during construction. When a Construction Manager is bound to a GMP, the fundamental character of the relationship is changed. In addition to acting in the owner's interest, the construction manager must control construction costs to stay within the GMP.
As Construction Manager, we have the ability to handle:
- Public Safety
- Time Management
- Cost Management
- Quality Management
- Decision Making

Graffiti at Metropolitan Bar, Brooklyn
Reading time: 2 – 4 minutes
Until I have a chance to make a proper entry, I wanted to post these recent images for my collection of graffiti:
Reading time: 2 – 2 minutes
Tonight is one of the many reasons I love my new neighborhood, even though it is also the very reason I sometimes can't stand it. In the end, the creativity and joy of expression wins over my heart…
The eve started unfolding early to the sounds of catchy electronica and experimental techno bouncing off the walls and windows of our twin warehouses, with light displays, digital art, and happy people bopping all over the place. As the night is wearing on (and it is STILL EARLY!), accordions, girls in burlesque petticoat dresses on stilts, and circus-like band music churns and prances about while a fire dancer/breather/spinner stops traffic.
The BUSHWICK ART PROJECTS is well under way! Technically, I live in Williamsburg, but the blur between proud Bushwick and pompous Williamsburg stretches for several stops on our lovely L train, clashing occassionally, but tonight, it's just… celebration!
On my floor, in a few minutes, two doors down, there will be celebrity chefs and a "kitchen show" featuring "The Shaydes" and "Purity Kisses" (??), so this should prove to be an interesting night in my building and on my block.
Live Love Life!
Looking down right NOW from my window:
Reading time: 2 – 2 minutes
Guess who's back to writing reviews!! ME! YAY! I love writing so much. This is such a great hobby for me; especially writing about entertainment. LOVE it. It really balances my sense of life after working and writing on such etheric and otherworldly topics as metaphysics and channeling.
And, finally, I am writing for a magazine of which I am really proud. My friend, Liberation, spun off his own magazine from the magazine for which we both worked, NewYorkCool.com I love his magazine so much more, as it focuses more on the art, music, and life that specifically contributes to the revitalization of the East Village mentality. If you don't know what that means, then you probably didn't live in the Village pre-90's. I will always have a soft spot for NewYorkCool, though. I highly suggest it as a resource for the New Yorker who wants to know what's going on below the surface of commercial art and entertainment.

Reading time: 2 – 2 minutes
I could handle fighting through the throngs of gawking tourists, knowing they were benefiting our little town and that they would eventually leave, but now they take up residence and try to act and live as if New York is what they see on TV. Sex and the City ruined everything. A swarm of people moved here during Sex and the City and it just hasn't been the same.
You can always tell who is a "true" New Yorker vs a "tourist" New Yorker just by who finds Sex and the City to be an accurate portrayal.
Thanks to Jane, I was able to read a great article about my neighborhood in NEW YORK MAGAZINE this past week. It was very interesting…
In the photo gallery for the article, there is actually a picture of my street AND building!! But I am not going to feature it here, but for those of you who know me, you will see it.

EVGA GeForce GTX 770 2GB SuperClocked ACX Overclocked Video Card Review
Metro Last Light
Version and / or Patch Used: Latest Steam Update
Timedemo or Level Used: Built in Benchmark
Developer Homepage: http://www.4a-games.com/
Product Homepage: http://www.enterthemetro.com/
Metro: Last Light takes place one year after the events of Metro 2033, proceeding from the ending where Artyom chose to call down the missile strike on the Dark Ones. The Rangers have since occupied the D6 military facility, with Artyom having become an official member of the group. Khan, the nomad mystic, arrives at D6 to inform Artyom and the Rangers that a single Dark One survived the missile strike. Khan believes the Dark One is the key to humanity's future, and wants to make peace with it, while Ranger leader Colonel Miller wants to kill the creature due to its potential threat. Miller sends Artyom to the surface with a mission to kill the Dark One; he is accompanied by Anna, Miller's sarcastic daughter and the Rangers' best sniper.
Being the first time we've tested Metro Last Light which has replaced Metro 2033, we can't tell you too much from a comparison point of view.
You can see that we manage to get strong FPS at 1680 x 1050, but past that we fall below the 60 FPS number we're always on the hunt for to provide a solid gaming experience. While we're not too far behind that number at 1920 x 1200, you can see we dip way into the 30 FPS area at the highest resolution.

Wow this week is flying by. Since I'm finally feeling better and back in the store, my life has gone back to being crazy. Which is how I like it :) To make sure you don't miss me too much and die of boredom on the days I don't post -because that's logical... Here's a fun Q&A with Amanda from College is Love, so you can get to know her better! She did the super fun Pinterest guest post last week in case you missed it.
Here we go:
Q: When and why did you start your blog?A: I started my blog during the fall of 2011. It was my first semester away at
college and I am honestly not exactly sure why I started a blog. I had a
specific story to tell about living life in a residence hall and I wanted people
to read it—so I posted about it. I had tried to start many blogs before, so I
doubt I thought much of it at the time, but I am definitely glad I stuck at it.
Q: What is your ultimate summer essential?
I am not blogging or hanging out with family and friends I can definitely be
found with a book in my hand and/or music in my ears. I never try to be too far
away from a good book
Q: You're stranded in the Forest. Who do you want with you?
family and a few of my close friends. I have a hard time picking any one or two
Q: What book would you recommend for this summer?
already out in theaters and everyone should read it and cry in the sad parts
just like me. It's seriously such an amazing book that will make you feel all of
the emotions and it's a book you can't put down.
Q: Describe yourself in 5 words.
Q: What would the title of your Autobiography be?
hope it had something to do with me helping others or being an awesome person.
Q: What's it like being in a Sorority?!
hang out with you, and are just there for you when you need them. It's
definitely not an easy group to be a part of, but I get so many amazing things
from being in a sorority like leadership experience, experience working with a
wide array of people, and testers for products I am working with for my blog
(shout out to my little for modeling for a post once even though we both weren't
sure what we were doing!) I get so much from being a part of my sorority Sigma
Sigma Sigma!
Q: Why did you choose to major in Sociology?
people interact with other people so Sociology really works for me.
Q: What inspires you?
A: If I ever seek inspiration I usually turn to Pinterest or my parents. My parents
always know what to say to me, and Pinterest just gives me so many ideas whether
it be through quotes or projects that I ca do.
Q: Favorite perfume scent?
A: I don't usually buy a lot of perfumes but my favorite scents are:
Amber Romance by Victoria's Secret
Daisy by Marc Jacobs
Be Delicious by DKNY
I hope you enjoyed the Q&A! Go show Amanda some love and visit her blog!

a) with people and b) on the road. However on Friday I made to an
acception to that rule and stopped in at Arbys for lunch.
I have one word to describe it: Zoiks!
Wow were there some characters in there. Among them:
Shaky dude - who looked old, but also older than he probably is, like
a 40 year old trapped in a 70 year old body. He bought a $3.00
something and payed with a 50.
Oggling dude - larger gent, wearing a Nike headband. Upside down.
Almost ran into a garbage can while oggling my female lunchmate.
Impatient dude - unhappy at waiting 5 minutes for meal. Maybe he
thought he was at the Ritz.
Meal? $8. Terrifying peak into the human condition? Priceless.
- Colin.

Today I am posting Pat Dolan's entry.
Pat was a watercolorist for 20 years prior to switching to fiber art. She started making art quilts in the mid to late 1990's. She did her first rust-dyeing experiments in 2006 based on postings she saw on the quiltart list serve. Pat actually had to go out to BUY rusty stuff since she had recently moved from a large home into a small townhouse and all such items had been discarded!
Pat is very interested in paradox - the juxtaposition of opposites. John Hopper, who writes The Textile Blog, wrote a very thoughtfully article about Pat and her fascination with paradox. To read it, click here.
Pat's inspiration for Woodland Walk, came from the rusted fabric itself. She was inspired by the autumnal theme of drying leaves, decay, naked trees, fallen feathers and death...before life renews itself.
Woodland Walk Detail
Machine pieced, 100% cotton rust-dyed fabric, marbled paper, commercial fabrics, rubber stamped with Acrylic paint, colored with colored pencils, machine quilted with rayon threads, embellished with buttons, feathers, and metallic fibers.

How to clean your over without it costing the earth!
Let's be honest – dirty ovens are gross. They are black, sticky, grimy, smelly and overall just not entirely pleasant to have to deal with. Well, we have a solution that will make your oven cleaning a breeze, where you won't feel as though you have just inhaled a lifetime supply of toxic chemicals to last you a lifetime.
Plus, you'll probably have everything you need in your kitchen cupboard.
What you'll need:
- Baking soda / bicarbonate soda
- White vinegar – or for sweet smelling use apple cider vinegar
- Spatula
- Chux or sponge
- Gently heat your oven up and then allow to completely cool.
- Make a paste in a bowl with baking soda and vinegar.
- Take out all the racks. If you have a large dishwasher, place the racks in the dishwasher on the highest temperature setting. Otherwise, rub the baking soda mix on the racks and leave to soak for about 10 minutes.
- Apply the same mixture inside your oven, avoiding the heating elements. Leave to soak for about 10 minutes.
- Use your spatula to dive down the back of your oven and scoop out all the bigger chunks of grime and throw in the bin.
- Start scrubbing! Using a sponge or something hardier if you have a lot of grime in there, rub in a circular motion to get all that grease and grime moving. Do the same to your racks to ensure all grime is removed.
- Rinse off your sponge and rub out all the remaining baking soda mixture.
- Insert racks and done!
You should be left with a sparkling, shiny new oven ready for roasting. A handy tip for next time – when roasting or baking, pop another baking tray underneath the rack you are using to catch any unwanted drips, oil and grime – making the next time you clean your oven a much more enjoyable one!

Admiral Ackbar is back with his timeless warning: "It's a trap!"
Sometimes all it takes is one trap game to undermine a College Football Playoff run. Michigan found that out last season with a loss to Iowa. It might be a sandwich game, an untimely road game or a spoiler that comes in at the wrong time. Trap games can be sprung at any time, even if we're always looking for them.
MORE: Preseason Top 25
With that in mind, Sporting News has an eye on some trap games for the 2017 college football season. These 16 College Football Playoff contenders should be on the lookout for these games.
Who will walk into a trap? Let's find out:
