Everyone starts somewhere… and usually it's not somewhere pretty.
This is the abridged version of my photography journey.
I credit my oldest son as being the inspiration behind my photography journey. It's photographing his life that has taken my mild interest in photography to a real passion. He turns five this month and I wanted to showcase his five years of
cuteness handsomeness alongside my five years of progress.
When Tristan was born, I had this little Kodak point and shoot. I took lots and lots of snapshots but I loved playing photographer by having a background and a prop or two. All I knew was how to click the shutter button and I honestly didn't know there was more to photography than that. I also had some basic photo editing software and I knew just enough to be dangerous.
Sometime in 2007, I found a weekly thread about basic photography tips. I think that was the turning point in my journey. From that thread, I learned basic skills like not centering my subject and not using my on board flash. Soon that thread linked to a board about photography and from that board, I was overwhelmed by all the knowledge I didn't even know existed! Shutter speed? Aperture? I had no idea what those terms meant and no way to find out with my measly point and shoot. It was time to upgrade. We only needed to save up the money first…
Thanks to deployment pay (the only perk from deployments) I got my birthday/Christmas present, a Canon Rebel XTi and the 50mm 1.8 lens. I popped off one shot in auto then went into manual mode. This is from the first week and it's truly a lucky shot. Back when all I had to do was "get the ticker to the middle of the meter" for perfect exposure. I had no idea that my settings made no sense.
Now that I had a camera that promised to produce amazing shots, I studied like to crazy to learn how to use it. I was constantly reading books and forums then trying to apply what I read.
I experimented and sometimes it came out cute and other times.. not so much. Like most one year olds, he didn't make much eye contact with the camera.
I took my favorite picture ever… and edited it horribly. I've since reedited this picture with every new photoshop technique I've learned. One day I will have this printed large and hang it in our home.
When we moved to our new home, I was thrilled to be able to use garage light. I set up my blankets but used fewer props than my early prop-filled pictures. After a few set ups, I realized that the studio look didn't thrill me beyond the purchase of a new prop. For the sake of my sanity and my checkbook, I went back to outdoor, on location photography. Tristan was now two and I constantly fought for that perfect smile but sometimes I got that perfect solemn face.
For most of 2009, I was pregnant and had no motivation to get behind the camera for most of the year. That year's 365 project ended on January 3rd; I was so miserable with morning sickness. I did manage to get a good shot of my husband and son with their matching high and tight haircuts.
In August, I got my new little model and poor big brother wasn't the only face to focus on anymore. He didn't complain though.
Well, he did complain but he looked cute doing it.
I started to understand better lighting and I started to balance out my traditional poses with natural action shots. I haven't set him in front of a blanket in years because I've found the beauty of photographing him in his own element. I started to venture away from the traditional look but struggled to break away from the "look at the camera" habit.
2011 has been the year of lifestyle photography. In five years, my photography journey has become more about me because it is more about him. It's not about the props, backgrounds, or posing, it's about capturing him as he is right now. My brain might be all about the technical aspects but my heart is all about the moments. It's about the balance of using technical perfection to capture these moments that I'll never get back. I can look at any picture and see how his hair has changed but these are pictures that trigger memories.
My journey isn't over. Just as Tristan grows and learns new things every day; as a photographer, I do too. I look forward to many years of discovering more photography techiniques and more about my self as an artist. More than all that, I look forward to being his mommy and being able to remember him being this small even though right now, all I can see is how grown he is.
Happy 5th birthday, Tristan! I love you.

Racism Might Have Spared Black And Latino Communities From Opioid Epidemic, Drug Abuse Expert Says
Racial bias by doctors may explain why whites are far more likely to get addicted to prescription opioids, a leading expert said.
Research shows that doctors are far less likely to prescribe prescription opioids to their black and Latino patients, making them less vulnerable to develop an addiction to those drugs, said Dr. Andrew Kolodny, the co-director of opioid policy research at the Heller School for Social Policy and Management at Brandeis University.
"[We know] that doctors prescribe narcotics more cautiously to their non-white patients," he said on NPR on Saturday. "It would seem that if the patient is black, the doctor is more concerned about the patient becoming addicted, or maybe they're more concerns about the patient selling their pills, or maybe they are less concerned about pain in that population."
"But the black patient is less likely to be prescribed narcotics, and therefore less likely to wind up becoming addicted to the medication. So what I believe is happening is that racial stereotyping is having a protective effect on non-white populations," Kolodny added.
Doctors are more likely to prescribe opioid medications to white patients, multiple studies show. A 2016 study found "significant racial-ethnic disparities" in opioid prescriptions for patients discharged from emergency rooms, "with non-Hispanic Blacks being less likely…to receive opioid prescription at discharge for back pain and abdominal pain…compared to non-Hispanic whites after adjusting for other covariates." Another 2016 study found that blacks are "systemically undertreated for pain relative to white Americans" by medical students and residents.
Over the last year, the recent opioid epidemic has garnered headlines across the country. In 2015, drug overdose was the leading cause of accidental death in the United States, with 33,091 people perishing from prescription pain relievers and heroin overdoses. Of those deaths, 27,056—or about 82 percent—were white.
Last month, President Donald Trump declared the opioid epidemic a "public health emergency," but stopped short of calling it a national emergency, which would have triggered significant funding.

But the epidemic has been years in the making: Sales of prescription pain relievers in 2010 were four times those in 1999, while the admission rate for use disorder treatment increased six fold in the same time period.
"We have to prevent more people from becoming addicted to opioids, and that's not lecturing to kids, don't do drugs," Kolodny told NPR. "More than anything else, that's about promoting much more cautious prescribing so that we don't directly addict patients and so that people don't indirectly become addicted because we've stocked everybody's home with a highly addictive drug."
This is not the first time the United States has faced an opioid epidemic.
In the 1970s, black and Latino communities faced an unprecedented rise in heroin use and overdoses. Similarly, the crack cocaine epidemic of the 1980s and 1990s mostly affected minorities. However, the response from public officials during these crises was to criminalize drug use and enforce mandatory minimum sentencing laws.
For Kolodny and others, the race of those affected explains the difference in response.
"What…we got from policymakers was a message that we could potentially arrest our way out of the problem," Kolodny said. "What we got was a war on drugs and a crackdown on crime. What we're seeing now is a very different response now that we've got an addiction epidemic that's disproportionately white."

Poland volleyball reportedly facing fine after skirmish with Iran
The Iranian men's volleyball team is certainly making its presence known in its first Olympics ever.
After a hard-fought fifth set on Day 2 of the preliminary round Tuesday, Iran and Poland nearly came to blows at the net in a benches-clearing incident:
It's unclear exactly what started the issue, but if the official Twitter account for Iran volleyball is to be believed, Poland may be facing a fine from the Federation Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB):
And in the postgame press conference Tuesday according to the clip posted by VarzeshVideo.com, Marouf said, "I don't know why they hate us."
Polish outside hitter Michal Kubiak responded to the incident and Marouf in that same press conference, saying (h/t VarzeshVideo.com):
"We like them. It's just emotion that we give off during the game. They laugh inside the court in our face. I don't care. For me, it's just a part of the sport. We stare at them, they stare at us. They smile at us, we smile at them. It's just a sport. But in the end, for me, the most important thing is just the result.
"It's not about beating anybody or going to a fight with anybody. I just want to win and I will do everything in my power to win the games against any kind of team. Not against them, personally. I have nothing to do with them, personally. For me, it's just a normal game. I want to win. This is the Olympics. For me, this is the story of my life. I want to be here; I want to win here. So I will do everything to win. That's it."
Both teams currently qualify for the quarterfinals round, so this may not be the last of this matchup in Rio.

The biggest misconception about the Wii U Virtual Console is that it is a simple rom dump.
It is a not a simple rom dump/emulation process.
They have to get the game to run properly on the TV and Gamepad simultaneously without any slowdown.
For example: A PC emulator doesn't even run every Nintendo 64 rom 100% perfectly.
Miiverse implementation for each game.
Create a community for each game.
With the VC finally coming out with remote gamepad play I'll be purchasing a Wii U.
eShop is awesome and I love how Nintendo is talking directly to its consumers. There is real value in that market place. It can only get better. Thats for both WiiU and 3DS

As you watch this video, think about what could happen in schools, if adults got out of the way.
You'll hear students say things like, "A subject comes up that I don't know about, and instead of glossing over it, I truly find myself thinking was is that about? I could learn about it! I'm finding questions in everything." And "We learned how to learn, we learned how to teach, we learned how to work."
Of course, it's easy to discount these kids as atypical. Marginalizing them is far easier than wondering why other high school students are stuck doing worksheets.
For more information on the project and associated lesson plans for students see: "Independence Day: Developing Self-Directed Learning Projects"
Good morning students, your final exam in economics includes this document-based-question (DBQ)
Study these two images, and discuss how capitalism's capacity to supply consumer goods triumphed over the chronic shortages of communism.

Or perhaps you think that high school students are unmotivated, unwilling to take on complex tasks and totally disinterested in anything that isn't digital?
Well these kids run counter to all these stereotypes and more.
Students at Bolder High School in Colorado are 3 issues into publishing their own "underground" newspaper. And they're producing "The Fowl" in old school manner – hard copy with hand drawn illustrations. No InDesign processing for them. As one of the student editors says – "People our age don't get heard that often, because we're not seen as that credible. But we have things to say that we're the only credible sources on."
As reported in the DailyCamera,
The eight-page February issue, adorned with a hand-drawn bird on the cover, includes an opinion piece on the real-life superhero movement, a rant about Valentine's Day, an ode to the Absolute Vinyl record store and a story about a new exhibit at the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art.
…The students lay out the pages by hand, make an initial copy at Kinkos and send it to a Denver printer to print 1,500 copies. They said the hours and hours it takes to produce the paper have been daunting, but worth it.
"It's just students writing for students, without any in-between man," said senior Tomas Hernando Kofman.

There are many problems with this, but let's just pick a few. What about snowbirds? What if you go into the hospital and then to a rehab center for 3 months? what if you just bought the house and want to do some work on it for a few weeks before moving in? what if you head for North Carolina and let one of your kids live in the house?
Anyway, this is going to be a HUGE issue so if you think you may have any such risk, be sure to talk with your agent. There is a partial solution in the form of a paper you can file with the insurance company advising them of the dates you won't be there. But first of all, who thinks of that? and second, THE FIX HAS NOT YET BEEN APPROVED IN NEW YORK. But the basic language that causes the problem HAS been approved and will be taking effect at some point for most insurance carriers.

Handwriting in Foundation Stage
This is the font we use in Foundation Stage at Eastfield. We call it pre-cursive as it is the best style that will make the transition into joined writing or cursive writing much easier.
We focus on the lower case letters initially and practise every day within our phonics lessons. The way to help your child with their writing is to remember that each letter begins on the line and sits on the line. Some letters have high parts and some have low parts that go beneath the line.
Before children are able to hold a pencil we have many activities in the Foundation Stage that aim to strengthen and develop fine motor skills; activities such as playing with playdough, using clothes pegs, using tweezers, sewing and threading with laces all develop this.

A week or so ago one of my good friends had a birthday and she chose to celebrate at two bars called The Littlefield and the Arcade Legacy: Bar Edition. The Littlefield has a beautiful outdoor area. Despite the rain it was a wonderful day. They have an extensive bourbon collection and they make signature cocktails as well.
Legacy also offers an outdoor patio (Outdoor bar life can be hard to come by in Ohio and Kentucky). They also offered a variety of food options, mainly hot dogs. Legacy did remind me of the bar, 16 Bit Bar, which is located in Over the Rhine. However, Legacy really dedicated their bar leaning more towards a late 80's/early 90's feel. They even have old commercials playing continuously by the bar. It's definitely a place to invoke some childhood nostalgia.
Tell me what bar or restaurant in Ohio I should check out next!
The Anchor-OTR, The Rook & Senate
Yesterday I wined and dined myself through Over The Rhine. I had a spectacular time feasting at The Anchor for lunch and later in the day I came back to have dinner at Senate. Lastly I went to the new bar I was dying to check out on Vine, The Rook. I was lucky enough to stop by The Anchor for lunch because it was my boss's birthday. I had The Sunset Spritzer, and it was fantastic and I also had the flounder over some asparagus, mushrooms and carrots as an entree. While lunch was tasty, the dessert was probably my favorite part. We had the rye brownies and salted caramel pudding and they were absolutely delightful! While I had been there for dinner before, I found it to be a bit on the expensive side. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the prices for lunch.
I came back later that night to have dinner at Senate. Despite the fact that Senate is actually known for their gourmet hot dogs, I couldn't deny myself from getting the Lobster BLT (Which I stupidly forgot to take a picture of because it looked so delightful). I purchased a kitten fizz as my cocktail, and while it was definitely beautiful, it wasn't exactly my taste. While I think the bartender did a good job, I just didn't like the soda with the vodka mixture as much as I thought I would. I also had the duck fries, which were divine.
The Rook (Sorry that the last picture is so grainy) was glamorous. The Rook is a new bar that offers a variety of board games while you drink (Basically two of my most favorite things) I didn't have the chance to play a game because my friend and I were just stopping in but it was definitely as cute as I hoped it would be. I got a "Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Margarita", but next time I'm excited to try the Pretty Pretty Princess drink that comes with a candy necklace and contains cotton candy. At first I thought it only had one floor so I thought it was very small, but then a friend pointed out that they do have an upstairs…. yeah I didn't figure that out. I was probably too distracted because everything was completely adorable and looked like fun. I almost expected The Legend of Zelda theme song to start playing throughout the bar. They even had a game concierge that offered to get us a game if we'd like. It was a wonderful end to a fun day!
Top Ten Tuesday: 10 Ways I Know I'm Growing Up
I talk about adulthood a lot on this blog, but I feel like your twenties are the time you discover who you are and where your life is going to go… well hopefully. Anyways, this top ten Tuesday will tell you the ten ways I knew I was growing up!
1. I used to complain about adults treating me like I was a child in high school. I know why now. Because high schoolers are babies. Hear me out! When you're in high school there are plenty of people, possibly yourself, who will want you to grow up quickly and figure your WHOLE life out by 18. Don't. You will not have your life figured out that quickly, it's impossible. Accept that you're a kid for a little while longer and treasure it. The less responsibility you have, the more carefree you are. Adulthood is all about the responsibility.
2. I hate noisy bars and bars with limited seating. I like to sit. I have two jobs and while I do primarily sit a lot at one of them, I'm still tired. When I want to relax with friends I like to hear them talk. I like to sit down and interact with them. Sure, dancing is great and all, but so is being comfortable. I feel like Tina Fey in 30 Rock, most nights. Also, when looking around the bar I realize that most of the population is younger me. Especially when a 21-year-old guy hits on me…. you're a baby, and that's cute and flattering, but no.
3. I can't remember how to use my imagination. My four-year old niece said that I can't "play good". While I can create stories in my head, write songs and poems and imagine my life if Joseph Gordon Levitt or Sean O'Pry was my boyfriend. I can also envision Zooey Deschanel asking me to star in New Girl with her and join her and M. Ward in She and Him. However, I kind of forget how to play Barbies or with action figures. My action figures would be talking to each other about working 60 hours a week and how I need to start doing my own taxes.
4. I don't have a Blackberry or a day planner, but I plan my entire day through my phone. I have check my schedule now if I want to hang out with friends. It's weird. It's really weird. It may sound adult like, but I would much rather have a lazy lackadaisical college summer. I'm an organization freak now.
5. You have bills that you have to pay or else that repo man from Sims comes to get your stuff. Ok, so the repo man doesn't exactly show up, but if you don't want debt, you have to pay bills. This usually starts when you move out. It's a great feeling, being independent, but it does come with responsibility.
6. I can't stay out late anymore. On occasion I do have those days where I stay up until 5 in the morning or I watch Netflix until 2 am but most of the time I am ready to go home at midnight, especially if it's a Friday. I'm so drained by the week that by Friday all I want to do is be cozy and be in bed by midnight. Saturdays are a different story usually because I can sleep in.
7. I want to have dinner parties. I don't understand it. It sounds lame as I type this out, but it's true. I really want to have people over for dinner once a month.
8. I like talk radio. Granted, it's usually trashy talk like entertainment updates or gossip but I enjoy it more than songs in the mornings.
9. I tell it like it is. The older I get, the less crap I put up with. I'm still a little wary on this, but with age I think will care less and learn to say no more. If I like someone, I tell them. I don't hide it for weeks on end. I stand up for myself now, more than I ever have, and it feels good.
10. I realize how much I want to stay and spend time with my family. Yeah sure, we fight, but at the end of the day they're there for me and I'm there for them…. Corny? Yes, I know.
This is a great list that inspired this post. I agree with most of it, except the whole returning library books. I still don't turn them in on time and I was a librarian for seven years. Ooops.
How do you know you're growing up or not growing up? Leave me a comment, I'd love to hear your opinion!
OTR Obsessed!
I really love their pizza. All of their pizzas are wood fired, use local/seasonal ingredients and are hand made. I personally enjoy the sea salt after bake. I'm weird about pizza. I take the cheese off of mine since I'm lactose intolerant, so I really don't value cheese as a quality. I'm all about sauce, crust and toppings. Their pizza is thin crust, so deep dish lovers beware, but I could honestly finish an entire pie on my own. Unlike most restaurants, A Tavola is less crowded because the pizzas don't take all that long to make (Hence the wood fire oven). Granted, if it's Saturday and it's 8pm you're going to run into a crowd.
I haven't eaten at MOTR but I have definitely had my fair share of alcohol at this joint. MOTR is a great bar if you're into live music. Want to listen to some local or obscure band that has a great sound? Go here! I love MOTR because it's a huge building. There's a large main dance floor, an off to the side booth area (Great for music lovers who don't like to be on top of a band but still like to hear them play), an outdoor patio (Great place to hang out at in the summer) and they have quite a roomy downstairs with some arcade games and a small bar as well. The only negative comment I have for this place (Mainly a disclaimer to the ladies) is that there's only bathroom and it is really really small. Also, it's a bit of a walk from the central bars, if it's late at night you might wanna travel with a buddy. Use the buddy system. Don't make fun of me, it's essential sometimes!
I actually reviewed Taste of Belgium before but I had to brag about them again! If you're into waffles, beer, pastries, fried chicken, small but delicious salads or tasty burgers-this is your new jam. If you're looking for a new brunch spot, they have some delicious waffles, crepes and enough coffee to make this coffee drinker blissfully happy. This place is crowded! If you'd like to get a guaranteed table I suggest going after 6 on a weekday, it's a little more manageable on those days. They basically have everything that would make a foodie happy. Taste of Belgium has three locations in Cincinnati so you can get your waffle on at Findlay Market, OTR and Clifton!
I'm not an average foodie. I don't usually it Mexican food. I like fajitas, chips and salsa can be yummy, but I'm lactose intolerant and I have a zero tolerance for spicy food. So why did I put Bakersfield on the list then? The margaritas. I definitely have an open door alcohol policy. This place tends to be packed on a daily basis, if you want a table, you need to plan ahead. I haven't ordered anything off the menu, but I know my friends love this place. The atmosphere is welcoming and a bit old school. This bar reminds me of a smaller version Japps in a way because the TV screens often displays an old movie I can watch while sipping my drink. Did I mention they have boot shaped glasses and a weekly BAMF mention on their Facebook page? I like their style!
I love this place because I could drink their OTR ice teas all day! This "tea" (As pictured above) is the best long island I've ever had. I never really appreciated long islands until I tried one from here. If you're not a liquor fan, their beer selection is to my liking since they have Crabbie's Ginger Beer and Fat Head, but those are just my recommendations. Southern food lovers, this restaurant will make you feel at home. I personally enjoy their fries and chicken (It is a little on the spicy side) but I've heard their macaroni and cornbread are big crowd pleasers. I've never known The Eagle to not be crowded, so be prepared. It's nice to visit during the summer because they have a small outdoor waiting area and they open all of their windows.
This bar is always packed, probably because is co-owned by the infamous and local, Molly Wellman. Neons is a unique bar that houses a lot of diverse people. If it's summer, you will not find a place to sit and during the winter you will have plenty of standing room… as long as you don't mind the cold (There are some fire pits which do help). The outdoor patio consists of a bar, grill and a human size Jenga (See photo above) and the inside provides a bar, an upstairs room for parties and a shuffleboard table. The upstairs is sometimes open to the public and sometimes closed for parties so be careful and tread lightly so as not to interrupt. However if you're on a date and it's open, definitely go in. It's the only place you can talk semi coherently if they have the music turned down. Dogs are welcome, which is great for dog owners and dog lovers, so if you're not a big animal fan this might not be the place for you. Their hot apple cider alcoholic drink is a must have on cold nights!
Japps, like Neons, is it's own kind of bar. I've never been to a bar quite like it. Japps caters to a wide audience with its crafted cocktails, live music and large dance floor. If you're looking to go dancing, MOTR and Japps and are the way to go. Did I mention that while you're dancing you can be accompanied by leading actors like Judy Garland or Gene Kelly? Ok, so they're actually on the ridiculously large projector screen behind the dance floor, but you can use your imagination. Japps has steered away recently from playing classic songs like "Twist and Shout" (A little to my dismay) but they do play a lot of 80's, 90's and top hits which are fun to dance too. Molly Wellman (Pictured above) is a co-owner of Japps as well, she sure knows how to make me love a bar!
Lucy Blue is a great place to go when you're looking to wind down and get a quick/cheap bite to eat. Lucy Blue has a couple of different locations in both Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, but the one in OTR is my favorite. It helps that they have my new favorite beer there, Fat Head's Bumble Berry ale, so I've been a more frequent visitor as of late. The people there are cordial, they usually are playing sports (Not hockey though to my dismay) so you will never have to miss the game… I really only watch hockey so I'm not the most enthusiastic about this part. Another benefit is that it's never overly crowded and the slices are huge.
Saving the best for last! I've already written a post about my love for this coffee house last year, but I didn't want them to feel excluded because this is my favorite place to hang out in OTR. That is a huge declaration of love, but it's true. I love bars but this place makes me feel at home. They have killer coffee, apple cider, cookies, smoothies and staff. I would go everyday if I could. They're vegan and organic friendly, health conscious in all aspects and did I mention pumpkin pie lattes!
Ok, this place is beyond packed. I've walked past this bar a million times but I've never really stopped in completely until last weekend. During the summer people actually sit on window ledges because they don't have any room. I actually am not the biggest fan of the bar per say, because it is so crowded and it's hard to get a drink, but it is a great place to meet people and the beer is cheap. If you want to meet new people however and you're a twenty something, this is your bar peeps.
What are your favorite places to visit in OTR? Did I mention your favorite place? What should I try next?
Top Five: Dream Jobs
Ok, so this is turning into a top Tuesday blog, I promise I will write another post this week! All of us have a dream job or a career that we would love to have, but I have multiple dream professions. While, I do have one particular dream profession in mind-it's fun to think about the other possibilities.
1. I would love to be an employee at SourceFed (As pictured above) and a member on SourceFedNerd's TableTalk. SourceFed is an amazing YouTube channel that employees a fun and quirky cast that is there for laughs and advice. From telling the news, to giving free counsel to over 1 million subscribers-this YouTube channel is my favorite!
2. Being a librarian at New York Public Library is a dream job of mine. I worked at a library for seven years, and while I would like to turn back to libraries the only way I would is if I moved to New York and became their director. No, I don't have a MLS (Master in Library Sciences) and I'm likely to never move to New York because my family and friends are here, but it's a nice idea.
3. Becoming an actress is most likely an impossible feat, because I don't have the experience and I'm not all that talented at it. While I hate to admit it, I live for drama. I'm a passionate person and I love acting, cinematography and theatre. Singing goes along with this in a way. I love to sing and while again, I'm not the best at it, I enjoy singing and writing songs. I'm the happiest when I'm singing in the shower, or the car, or somewhat tipsy at a bar.
4. This is a combination of many ideas put into one. I want to start a bar that serves beer and alcoholic coffee drinks, like my beloved Highland Coffee House in Cincinnati, but it will also be a bookstore and it will host an open mic night and live band karaoke night. Not to mention, I would love to serve pastries, breakfast and lunch items.
5. The last one should be obvious I hope. I want to be a writer. I want to write books, screenplays, songs and all sorts of things. I love writing and that's the real reason I have this blog. It makes me happy.
What's your dream job?

If you are like me, back in May, you probably made several sweeping statements about this summer. Here are some of the things that I was sure I'd get done:
- Appointments for my dermatologist, ophthalmologist, and dentist.
- My deck pressure washed and stained.
- Carpet cleaning.
- An unspecified number of articles, essays, and stories submitted.
Well, there's more, but you get the picture.
At this point, I am probably at .003% completion level.
So if you are like me, let me go ahead and give you the bad news. Summer is more than half over. In just three weeks, the summer term will finish. In a little over a month, we'll be starting fall semester.
You still have time to get those summer goals completed. But the time to start is NOW.
So excuse me while I get on the phone and make some appointments.

Circles of Learning:
Creating a Teen Discussion Group
|"How refreshing to be in this group where no one takes the role of Expert, there is no necessary outcome, and silence is often used to facilitate the digesting of a new idea."
Just as the teacher came when he was needed, so did the topic of the first discussion: Truth and Power. This was not a David and Goliath kind of power that John presented, but a power born of conviction, of courage. If you ever want to turn around a bunch of teenagers, especially out-of-school teenagers, tell them they have power. The kids were stunned. It had never occurred to them, or they had heard it only from their parents, that taking charge of their own learning and education was a powerful act.
The kids did little talking at this first meeting though they absorbed what was said like so many sponges. There were no facts to parrot back, only ideas and philosophies to share. So, while none of the kids I asked afterwards could tell me exactly what it was they had talked about, they all spoke of feeling enlightened and expanded. Follow-up discussions on the Politics of Food, Censorship, Can Computers Develop Consciousness and Pain yielded similar reactions. So many ideas were brought out to swirl around the room, yet grabbing them all was not important. To participate in the swirl itself was enough.
Sitting in on two of these discussions I was struck by some interesting things. In my schooling, I remember my teachers making it quite clear who was the expert. I remember that results were expected, either passing a test or agreeing with the teacher's line of reasoning. I remember silence only if an unprepared student had to cast around for an answer. I have been surprised at how easily this group of kids, who, for the most part, do not use purchased curricula or standard textbooks, has taken to working as a group. Because they are used to being their own teachers, I did not expect them to follow well when new and often difficult ideas were presented. Not only are they able to follow, they have begun to anticipate and formulate questions during discussion, a sign that they are connecting the abstract with the concrete. As the kids feel more comfortable with each other (not all the kids knew each other previously) and more comfortable with the process, they are sharing more of themselves. Yet, it's more than the sharing that I find exciting; it's the development of original ideas and opinions based on a more mature world view. Knowing that these thoughts and opinions will be listened to respectfully and taken seriously encourages them to share with the group.
|"Imagine a gathering where there are no prerequisites other than a willingness to listen, learn and be part of something bigger than yourself."
Part of the value of working in a group is learning to give yourself to a partnership. Not being responsible for every aspect of learning a topic brings freedom, while being a partner brings a certain responsibility. I see this group as an effective bridge to a more adult approach to learning and living. It allows for both active and passive interaction, recognizing the value of each. For the duration of each meeting (usually two hours) it requires the relinquishing of the freedom of self in return for the freedom from solo responsibility. Most of the group has chosen to participate in more in-depth explorations. A few of the kids have taken part in every offering, others participate as their interests dictate. John is currently finishing up a six-week series on the History of Architecture as it relates to our growth as a species and our understanding of the world around us. A far cry from memorizing the three types of Greek columns for a quiz on the Parthenon. The kids have requested sessions on Economics and Consumerism, Ethics, Human Psychology, and the Effect of American Foreign Policy on Human Rights. After a one-night discussion of a Russell Banks short story, kids working with Steve are in the middle of a study of Parzival, a Grail tale from the Middle Ages, rich in language and metaphor. My daughter is thinking she'd like to continue on to Dante's Divine Comedy before dabbling in Thoreau and Emerson.
The success of any group hinges on the relationship between the leader and the group at large. Without an interest in original input and genuine respect for each other, a group cannot fully develop. The group leader must believe in these principles to encourage them in others. It is not necessary for the leaders to be teachers. Both Steve and John have most recently been employed as teachers but their careers have been varied, including law and teaching public school English, and terms spent as a network manager for IBM and Market Data Analyst on Wall Street, respectively.
Imagine as a 15- or 16-year-old discussing real world issues with adults instead of trying to stay awake in front of a textbook. Imagine even as an adult discovering and developing a world view based on a more historical, global perspective. Imagine a gathering where there are no prerequisites other than a willingness to listen, learn and be part of something bigger than yourself. Anyone with the interest to establish and nurture such a group will see the reward not only in creating a lively forum for intellect to bloom, but in establishing a basis for people of all ages, to interact and explore the exciting discoveries of the world around us.

MILFORD, Connecticut (Reuters) - A former police officer has sued Middletown, Connecticut, accusing the city of wrongfully firing her from its police force last year because she had transitioned to female from male using hormone therapy.
Middletown has denied the charge.
Francesca Quaranta filed the lawsuit late on Thursday in Hartford Superior Court, naming the city, its mayor, and senior police officials as defendants.
"Her civil rights were violated," Quaranta's attorney, Emanuele Cicchiello, said Friday. "She was a long-term, good-standing police officer, and the second she came out regarding her gender identity, everything changed."
Cicchiello said Quaranta was harassed at work and eventually pushed out of the department.
City officials denied the allegations, saying Quaranta was fired because she refused to come to work.
"We gave her every opportunity to get back to work, and we would have dropped any disciplinary action, but she refused to come back," said Mayor Daniel Drew.
Drew said there was one instance of a police sergeant calling Quaranta a "cave-man" after her transition, and said the officer was suspended without pay for 10 days.
Quaranta worked for the Middletown Police Department for several years before announcing her transition from male to female in 2012. She was fired in June 2014 after the city determined she had failed a "fitness-for-duty" evaluation ordered after she was out of work on administrative leave for several months.

Pleated pants had much more popularity back in the earlier 90s, but are not a lot preferred now through all men. Pleated trousers means having the material folded on by itself and sharpened in order to made a fold, which fold can be razor-sharp or can be curved. Pleated pants can be solitary pleated or double pleated, solitary pleated means only one pleat in the center of the pants getting its length, whilst double pleated means through an extra shorter pleat between your main one in the center of the pants and also the pockets. Pleated pants might suit some people a lot more than though others, depending on the physique, pleated pants are not slender or fit trousers, they give you extra space and therefore are more comforting, that's the reason why some people and company men prefer putting them on, they might give a much more fitting look when they're made of winter supplies because they are more heavy. Pleated pants are used in most types of suits, obtainable in different colors such as black, grey, azure or brown; and various materials like made of woll or cashmere, and they could be plain or beg or striped too.

In this series of articles, we have traced the various mechanisms whereby the prison procedures of "gang validation" are used to deny the civil rights, the human rights and even the humanity of the prisoners. These procedures mark the criminality of the prison administration. The real crime problem in the U.S. is the prison system itself and its judicial machine. Together they are making justice and democracy practically impossible.
January 3, 2014
For the past 20 years or more, many people – prison rights activists in particular – have spoken on the importance of education as the most effective tool towards combating recidivism. We are reinstituting the concept of transforming the entire U.S. prison industrial slave complex into the largest progressive educational institution in the country with emphasis on Afro-centric and Pan-Afrikan studies and New Afrikan political education.

BEIJING, CHINA--(Marketwired - Sep 9, 2016) - BON Cloud, a content supply and production platform with more than 4,200 broadcast-ready, China-focused videos, raw footages, audios and scripts available to different media platforms in the world, has released a series of videos about the different lives that have changed since the opening of the China-Europe Block Train.
One of the released videos, set in Hamburg, Germany, shows a day in the life of Samir Turkovic, a young German who just finished his training to be a crane operator in DUSS Terminal. The terminal is part of the China-Europe Block Train, a project that stemmed out of the One Belt, One Road (OBOR) initiative of China proposed in 2013.
Also known as the Modern Silk Road, it is the longest freight train route in the world, traveling more than 10,000 kilometers along the Eurasia land bridge, more efficient than traditional maritime transport, and less expensive than air freight. The train creates enormous opportunities for the local businesses in the countries where it passes and great job opportunities for the people.
The China-Europe Block Train is one of the important points of the OBOR strategy. OBOR is an attempt to boost trade and political relations between China, Europe, and Asia. Much like the trade partnership between China and the EU, Indonesia is also one of the leading trade partners of China.
Indonesia is set to benefit the most from this project, creating massive development opportunities in infrastructure and logistics, trade and investments, and education. These, in return, will create more employment opportunities not only for Indonesia but also for the nations along the Belt Road.
With the Maritime Silk Road component of OBOR focusing on utilizing sea routes and Chinese coastal ports, Indonesia will see more developed ports and hinterland links that will increase its economic competitiveness and reducing logistics costs that is essential to the export industry of Indonesia. This will also open the doors to increase the supply and demand enabling the local companies to compete globally.
As with other Asian countries, better infrastructure will bring more investors which will develop the industrial capacity of Indonesia. Already in the pipeline since 2015 is the construction of an industrial park in Western Java where Chinese investors together with Indonesian companies, will develop manufacturing plants that are ready to go global in the trade industry.
Such initiatives, as evident with the China-Europe Block Train, will create more employment opportunities for Indonesia and its neighboring countries. This is one of the greatest benefits of OBOR. A World Bank study states that for every $1 billion spent on infrastructure in a region, more than 100,000 jobs are created.
Samir is one of the many who has benefited from it and OBOR would like to see more people like him, not only in Europe but also in Indonesia.

(Reuters) - Highlights of the day for U.S. President Donald Trump's administration on Tuesday:
Trump endorses a plan by Republican U.S. lawmakers to replace the Obamacare healthcare law but influential conservative groups come out strongly against it, complicating the proposal's prospects for passage in Congress.
Shares of large U.S. pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are selling off after Trump says he is working on a system to reduce prices in the industry.
Senate Democrats, seeking to capitalize on revelations about the Trump campaign's contacts with Russia, are urging a top Republican lawmaker to obtain the president's tax returns as a matter of national security.
The prosecutor tapped to fill the No. 2 position at the Justice Department declines to commit to appointing a special counsel to oversee an investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
The Senate Armed Services Committee votes overwhelmingly to approve Army Lieutenant General H.R. McMaster as Trump's second national security adviser, despite some concern about his handling of a sexual assault case.
The Trump administration pledges in a statement to show "great strictness" over restrictions on Iran's nuclear activities imposed by a deal with major powers but gives little indication of what that might mean for the agreement.
The United States starts deploying the first elements of its advanced anti-missile defense system in South Korea after North Korea's test of four ballistic missiles, U.S. Pacific Command says, despite angry opposition from China.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and 11 other Democrats say it is critical that the Trump administration retain new vehicle fuel efficiency rules, arguing that the higher standards are achievable.
Mexico cancels existing sugar export permits to the United States to avoid penalties in a dispute over the pace of shipments, blaming the problem in part on unfilled positions at the U.S. Department of Commerce, according to a document seen by Reuters.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Better weather couldn't have been asked for and Arkansas head coach John McDonnell felt the same way about his athletes' performances. Arkansas track and field secured a slew of regional-qualifying marks on their home turf at Saturday's John McDonnell Invitational.
"We had great competition, so I couldn't be more pleased with the meet," McDonnell said. "The weather was just perfect. I couldn't ask for anything better. The wind was calm throughout the whole day and that is what we like to have for outdoor meets."
Arkansas excelled in all aspects of track and field on Saturday. A beautiful day in Fayetteville and solid competition from around the country only helped the Razorbacks to the success they found.
"We had a really good meet," McDonnell said. "We qualified a lot of people for the regional championships. In the 1,500 meters we qualified three but I think we would have had one more but one of our guys got tripped and almost knocked out two of our other guys."
No one loves competing at the John McDonnell Invitational more than J-Mee Samuels. For the past two years, Samuels has thrived on his home track with great competition at his side.
"This meet seems to be my starting point every year," Samuels said. "I opened the season up with the 200 meters last year and that went really well. Even though I was pretty tired before the 200 meters today, I still did pretty well to go 20.5. As far as the 100 meters, that is one of the best races I have run these past two years. I still have a lot to work on but training is going really well so hopefully I will keep setting PR's."
Today was no different for the junior from Winston-Salem, N.C. Running in three events, track fans were treated to three great races from Samuels.
"I knew he was ready to run," Arkansas sprints coach Kyle White said. "I have been holding him back in practice. He's so fresh and so ready but we were wanting to peak here because the weather is so unpredictable at Penn and it's just a relay meet. This was it; this is the time to go. We knew that he needed to run all three races today."
Samuels started the day with the 100-meter dash where he clocked a 2.3 wind-aided time of 10.12. His clocking, a better regional-qualifying mark, ranks No. 3 in the nation, No. 2 in the SEC and is the second-fastest wind-aided time in school history. Samuels also set a collegiate personal best in the 100 meters.
"He felt tired in the 200 meters and I explained to him that is what happens when you run 10.13 with a sub-4.0 wind," White said. "It's going to take a lot out of you. We got into the relay and I told him to take it easy but he's a competitor and he got the baton and decided to run some people down."
In his next race, the 4×100-meter relay, poor handoffs ruined what could have been a solid outing. Samuels took the anchor leg and did all he could to earn a second-place finish for the Hogs.
In his final event of the day, Samuels again wowed the crowd with a win in the 200 meters. He clocked a time of 20.55, ranking second in the nation and second in the SEC. His 200-meter clocking is the ninth-fastest time in school history and is a collegiate personal best.
"J-Mee Samuels had a great day," McDonnell said. "He is just getting better and better. In the 800 meters, Chris Bilbrew broke 1:50 for the first time and that is a huge break through for him. I'm very proud of him and the way he competed. It was nice seeing Alex McClary back in good form because he was sick for the end of the indoor season."
The jumps crew also produced big marks for the Hogs. Alain Bailey, in his outdoor long jump debut, marked a leap of 25-8.75 to win the event and secure his spot in the postseason with a regional qualifier. His jump is a personal best, ranks fifth in the nation and leads the SEC by more than four inches.
Daniel Quinn finished second behind Bailey in the long jump. Also setting a personal best, Quinn earned his runner-up finish with a jump of 25-4.5. His leap, a regional-qualifying mark, ranks second in the SEC and seventh in the nation.
Mychael Stewart competed with Samuels in the 100- and 200-meter dashes. He clocked a 100-meter regional-qualifying time of 10.50, good for a fifth-place finish. In the 200 meters, he finished fourth and just missed the regional-qualifying time with his clocking of 21.40.
The 800 meters and 1,500 meters were great races for the crowd and great races for the Razorbacks. Chris Bilbrew and Alex McClary both recorded regional qualifiers in the 800-meters. Bilbrew, dipping below 1:50 for the first time in his career, finished third with a time of 1:49.90. His clocking is a personal best and is the third-fastest time run by a freshman this season. McClary was right behind him with a time of 1:49.99, good for a fifth-place finish.
Famous for its milers, McDonnell and the Hogs didn't disappoint. The race yielded three regional-qualifiers and had the potential for one more but a little jostling among runners on the final curve took one of the Arkansas runners out of contention.
Micky Cobrin led the way with a sixth-place finish and a time of 3:44.25, a personal best. Andy McClary clocked a 3:44.59, good for a seventh-place finish. Duncan Phillips, clocking a personal best, finished eighth with a 3:44.93.
Michael Chinchar was right in the race with his teammates but a near trip took him out of contention with just over 100 meters to go in the race. He finished 17th overall and 13th in his heat with a time of 3:48.12, just off the regional-qualifying time of 3:47.
Shawn Forrest was the final Hog to run Saturday night and took full advantage of the crowd cheering him on. He clocked a personal-best 5K time of 13:53.30. He won the 5,000 meters, punched his ticket to the postseason, clocked the SEC's second-fastest time this season and now ranks sixth in the nation.
The Razorbacks will return to competition at the running of the 114th Penn Relays, at historic Franklin Field, April 24-26, 2008. For more details on Arkansas track and field, visit www.hogwired.com.

I took Sprintec 18 months and 2 weeks ago decided to stop it. I haven't been sexually active the last 3 weeks. I haven't get my period so far, just a little spotting one day; and home pregnancy test came out negative. Is this normal?

Just as it takes a while for the body to adjust to the hormones in the Pill, it takes a while once you stop for the body to start cycling normally on its own. If you havent been sexually active, then you are not pregnant. No worries, give it a few months and things will return to normal.
Thank you for your help! I was just a little worried because I just got married and my husband will be out of the country for about a year. :-)

Captain Jithin Bhadran, CAFS accountable manager, flew to Port Moresby on Sept 12 and visited Mt Hagen to help aspiring PNG pilots fulfill their dreams.
This was in coordination with Paradise International Education Consultancy, a Filipino-based education placement agency.
CAFS has so far enrolled eightstudents from PNG who are under a well-tailored training syllabus to help them become professional pilots.
"We wish to hear more from PNG students who have dreams to become a pilot, though not everybody can afford to train but they can share with us and dream about it," CAFS quality manager Eun Hye Jin said.
CAFS, which is licensed by the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines, and a member of the International Civil Aviation Organisation, is based at Mactan-Cebu International Airport of the Philippines which has more than 100 flights a day by Asia's leading airline companies.
It is staffed by personnel who are competent and excellent in the field of aeronautics and other aspects of aviation.
"We wish to help more students to be professional pilots who will be the future of PNG aviation," Jin added.
CAFS is extending its mission of producing world-class and professional pilots in PNG. The National
