Shortly after Robert Green returned to his Georgia home from his 1958-1959 apprenticeship at Taliesin West (Frank Lloyd Wright's school), he designed then supervised the construction of a remarkable house for a C&S Bank executive named William Copeland and his family in 1960. That remarkable house is now for sale for $950,000.00. Jason Wieloch and I are co-listing the property. "Nobody buys a Wright house by mistake or coincidence" said Ron Scherubel, the retired Executive Director of the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy. Ron also said that the market for a Wright house "is a narrow market. It's an active market. And it can be a lucrative market…most of the time, buyers pay a 25 to 40 percent premium because it's a Wright design." Usonian design is Mr. Wright's coined term for his simple style that enabled the integration of structure with the natural order of the landscape. The Copeland House typifies Usonian design.

Dekalb ain't no Clayton
That's Dekalb's esteemed CEO, Burrell Ellis. That's Clayton County Commissioner Shana Rooks and Commission Chairman Jeff Turner This question arose on Trulia Voices today. "Given recent news about Dekalb county school system and its mismanagement, have we seen bottom yet for real estate values in our Doraville neighborhood? How much more drop could we see in next 2-5 years? Will prices stabilize if the school board is removed? Not removed? Is the Clayton market a good proxy?" I answered: Is the Clayton market a good proxy? No. The good ESDs, MSDs and HSDs will remain remain stable, in Clayton and in Dekalb. I don't know enough about Clayton schools to even know if a school like Vanderlyn or Fernbank is down there. Clayton doesn't have a Dunwoody or a Druid Hills. Across Dekalb - the market is simply too broad to judge things. So, in Evansdale, there were 22, 2011 sales total in FMLS - average sold price $223K. In 2012 there were 37 sales total in FMLS - average … [Read more...]

Surprise and delight in Inman Park
This photo was taken at the Inman Park Cooperative Preschool at some point in Spring 2012. Surprise and delight – keys words that I learned to align with great marketing. I learned the true meaning of those two words from one of the smartest people that I know. She's a world renowned specialist in retail store advertising, in-store marketing, consumer experience, demand demography, and point of purchase "surprise and delight." Marketers must surprise and delight. So, I have a meeting with a client today. Her house is right around the corner from my old house on Euclid Avenue and she has a gorgeous property on a picturesque lot. She might sell it; she might lease the upstairs home, and continue to lease the sunny terrace level suite. For those of you who don't know what a sunny terrace level suite is just think "finished basement." Regardless, the reason that I'm writing is that ever since I moved Intown in 1998, into a $300,000 4 square 3/3 upstairs home just 300 … [Read more...]

It so often happens that we discover unheralded works of art in those museums that escape the attention of tourists. Until some time ago, I for one had never actually set foot in the Maffeiano Lapidary Museum in Verona, which boasts treasures of Greek and Roman art and is just an hour away from Milan by train.
It is one of the oldest public museums in Europe and takes its name from the Marquis Scipione Maffei, its founder and a prominent figure in eighteenth-century Verona.
A staunch supporter of an enlightened Catholicism, Maffei was a passionate humanist. He made regular journeys to Europe, collaborated with the leading Italian playwrights of the time, and never ceased his studies in ancient history and epigraphy.
As if all that wasn't enough, the Marquis was also among those who sought to give a new meaning to aristocratic privileges, taking an active part in community life. Created with this impassioned sense of civic duty, the Maffeiano Museum was founded with the aim of enriching the cultural life of Verona's residents, offering them an astounding collection of stones, inscriptions, funerary reliefs and urns, and sarcophagi from the Etruscan, Greek and Roman periods.
The museum is located at the Philharmonic Academy, a seventeenth-century building overlooking Corso Porta Nuova and the Arena in a central yet secluded location. Past the ticket office, visitors can take the lift and be transported to the very origins of Western culture in the heart of Ancient Greece.
The artifacts in this first room originate from Asia Minor and date from between the 2nd century B.C. and the 2nd century A.D. Unlike sculptures, funerary art can tell us much more about the life of ancient societies, showing us a humanity that is diverse as it is moving, with each piece telling a particular story.
There is, for example, the story of the young Gaius Silius Batillus, a mimic actor who disappeared in Attica when he was just a child and who is portrayed with his dog. We see Martha, a young woman from the city of Rhenea who died aged 22 of an incurable disease and who is depicted while offering the typical funeral greeting (a handshake) to her father Demosthenes. More than simply serving as a poignant memory of those who are no longer with us, the stones celebrate the life of the individual, caught in his or her absolute uniqueness.
Moving on to the Etruscan-Roman Hall, the pugilistic theme permeates the entire first room, which is located on the upper floor and overlooks the inner courtyard of the building. Soldiers, centaurs, satyrs and Pankration boxers remind us that the Roman Empire was built on the dust of battlegrounds, arenas and the heavyweight clashes between gladiators.
Yet, behind this self-celebratory image of Imperial Rome there is another, much more private image; one which is connected with the sarcophagi decorations of wealthy families. One of them, depicted on a frieze, tells of the myth of Phaethon, the son of the sun god, who fell from his father's chariot and who is mourned by the gods. The quality of the relief, dating from around the second century A.D., is truly remarkable.
Even more impressive for its realism is the sarcophagus of an unnamed Roman boy, who is immortalized in stone while he dreams about his chariot races. And then there are the Etruscan banquets, the magistrates and merchants, the devoted wives and the ill-fated daughters.
Every centimetre of this small museum is a novel in itself that narrates the day-to-day life of two millennia ago.
There are no more rooms, so I conclude by visiting the inner garden. Divided into two side chambers culminating in a majestic vestibule, this space was the Marquis's very first collection. Walking amid the colonnades that mark out the two side halls, I see the faces of ancient Veronese men and women whose features you might just as easily recognise on people's faces in the streets of Verona today.
And just behind the six columns of the vestibule I can also see inscriptions, marble floral motifs, lions and winking angels that once adorned the streets and squares of Roman Verona.
Once the Republic of Venice collapsed in 1797, Napoleonic troops plundered the Maffeiano Museum, taking several artifacts with them to Paris. If you happen to visit the Louvre, you might be interested to know that some of its ancient art comes from Verona. If you are in Milan on a spring afternoon and have never seen Pompeii, then perhaps it is worth making a trip to the Museum of the Marquis Scipione Maffei: it truly is a small compendium of the ancient world. The Museum is open daily except Monday, from 8.30 am to 2 pm, and tickets cost € 4.50.
–Giulia Zanoletti is a freelance journalist who has lived in Milan and Rome writing about cinema, theatre, and opera. With an eye for guerrilla marketing, she loves Italian culture, French cinema, and British irony.
Concierge tip: As mentioned above, the Museo Lapidario Maffeiano is just an hour away from Milan by train. So why not combine a visit to Verona with a stay at Carlton Hotel Baglioni, so that you can also immerse yourself in EXPO 2015?

In the city of Baltimore Maryland garbage-level street violence is taking a toll not merely on victims, which is of course understandable. But what is lesser known is the affect it is having on inner city ERs, swamped as they are with hundreds of severely wounded gunshot patients. So much so that medical team members, already burdened with stress and exhaustion, are finding their trauma care resources stretched thinner than ever before, leaving emergency caregivers in a nearly impossible struggle to save lives.
The reality is that Black males are killing each other at an astounding pace – 344 homicides in the last year alone. Nearly 90% of the 2015 homicides were the result of shootings. Counting non-fatal shootings, gun violence was up more than 75% compared to the previous year. More than 900 citizens were shot.
With the appalling frequency of urban gorilla gun-crime growing worse by the month in Baltimore, keeping victims alive has become an ugly challenge for trauma care providers. Many experts are calling it a public health crisis, according to a The Baltimore Sun report.
An ever-growing number of victims transported to ERs by paramedics are now showing up with multiple bullet wounds. The result is that different surgical specialists are called upon to operate on different areas of the patient's body at the same time.
"Some of these people need three, four, five operations." (Doctor Elliott Haut, Johns Hopkins Hospital trauma surgeon)
Baltimore's EMS teams are world-famous for their skills, but the death statistics grow worse with each passing year. Over the last decade many programs have added staff to keep up with the flood. Johns Hopkins, for example, has increasing its full-time trauma physicians 600%. But more staff means more debt. Street gunshot violence costs Baltimore hospitals nearly $1,500,000 a month, partly because many, many of the victims have no insurance.
Here are but three irrefutable statistics:
- More than 90% of homicide victims this year were male
- More than 90% were Black
- More than half were between the ages of 18 and 30
Here's another look at this societal scourge:

In the last year I have been spending a lot more time with my sketchbook. So much so that I bring it with me almost everywhere I go. I like to use a larger book around 8 x 11. My current book has a spine, but I am looking forward to switching to a spiral bound book. I like to turn my page in all directions when I am working and I find that the book with the spine is just too wide on the one side. For writing implements I prefer working with Micron Pigma Pens and find myself leaning towards 02 and 005. Currently I use black ink but I want to try different colors in the future.
Pretty much whenever the mood takes me I pull out the book and get to work. I tend to fill up a whole page at a time. If I find a shape that I like I keep pushing it seeing what other way I can make it different. When I am ready to make something into a pattern I flip through the book to find an image that speaks to me. It could be something I just made or something I worked on months ago. I then scan it into the computer at 600 dpi or higher and get to work.
In most cases I bring it into Photoshop, clean it up and begin to lay out a pattern right away. However some images are just begging to be put into Illustrator and drawn out. It really just depends on the image. Then its all play play play with the programs till you have a great pattern.
I really enjoy working in this way and all of the motifs are original!

There has been no shortage of bizarre, leftist behavior to behold in recent weeks, as the so-called "resistance" reaches fever pitch.
Thanks to celebrity nitwits such as Snoop Dogg and Kathy Griffin attempting to normalize the assassination of republican President Donald J. Trump, the left side of American politics has become increasingly radicalized during the Commander in Chiefs first few months of office. The attempted murder of several GOP congressman by James T. Hodgkinson earlier this month is just one of the instances of these unseasonably-respected public figures influencing the hive mind of the liberal base. Mere days before Hodgkinson began his incredibly unnerving rampage, CNN personality Kathy Griffin took part in an elaborate and realistic photoshoot in which the self-proclaimed D-list celebrity was seen to be hold a facsimile of Donald Trump's severed head.
Trending: Third Kavanaugh Witness Drops BOMBSHELL on Wednesday
Now, as this madness slithers its way into the minds of the liberal voter base, a number of disturbing incidents are being reported from around the nation, including the latest from Florida.
"A man accused of threatening to kill a Florida lawmaker in an online posting ranted about Republicans during a courtroom hearing to evaluate his mental health.take our poll - story continues belowCompleting this poll grants you access to The Constitution updates free of charge.

"Steve St. Felix said he was sorry about his Facebook post and did not mean to harm Florida Rep. Jose Felix Diaz, but was fed up with the Republican party.
"Days earlier, the 34-year-old St. Felix allegedly posted a message on Facebook to Diaz saying, 'I'll kill your [expletive] and you better not show up to the next REC meeting.'
"In court for a mental health evaluation on Thursday, St. Felix waved and smiled for the camera before unleashing an outburst.
"'Marco Rubio! Nelson Diaz! Manny Diaz! Manny Diaz Junior! Carlos Gimenez! (Julio) Robaina,' he rattled off before being escorted out of the courtroom."
The ridiculous outburst is just the latest symptom of the new liberal sickness.
In the era of President Trump, there have been several factions of liberal activist groups rooting themselves in American culture. Between the aforementioned "resistance", and the like of "Antifa", the New Fascists, and the crowd looking for a second Civil War, there are serious concerns about the dangers that these groups pose. There have already been numerous attacks on Trump supporters and republicans in general, and with the July 4th holiday approaching, many Americans are growing anxious.
Earlier this week, federal authorities began planning for a proposed radical leftist action in Pennsylvania, where groups associated with the "resistance" are purportedly planning to desecrate the graves of Civil War soldiers in Gettysburg.

Why College Graduates Are Irrationally Optimistic/
THIS month American college seniors will don caps and gowns. As they await receipt of their diplomas, they will absorb lessons handed to them by the accomplished men and women who deliver commencement speeches. More often than not the speakers will be outliers: rare individuals who made it against all odds.

Three More Days
Everything feels so surreal right now. I can't even describe it. Our life will be changed forever in just a few more days. This is our last weekend with just the boys. I am so excited about welcoming a little baby to our home. I, Mrs. Super Planner Pants, still do not know her name. It's between two. I think we'll just go with the one Gary is leaning towards. I was trying to see if he'd go for two middle names but I don't think so. I have had the best two sleeps in a row which makes me feel so good. I slept about 7 hours (with a few bathroom breaks) which was awesome.
So, what do you do days before having a baby?
Gary and the boys got to the gardening and cutting the lawn.
Picture of just the boys below...last weekend before little sister will join them in the photos! They are excited and although Kai understands the countdown, Koen just feels like we've been saying he's going to have a baby sister for the entirety of his life:)
We got the baby swing down from the garage rafters and set it up. And rearranged our living room to be `baby ready'.
39 week belly below. It looks like the same size as I was with Kai and Koen. My prediction for her weight? 9lbs. How was this pregnancy different than with the boys? Nauseated longer (up to almost 15 weeks), sciatica for weeks 15-25, very little heartburn, gained a few more pounds:)
I just wanted to say one last thing in regards to C-section vs. VBA2C. I feel like one of the main reasons I wanted a VBA2C was to prove I can do it. I'm a (very) competitive person and I have pushed myself physically and mentally in so many things like climbing Mt. Baker and Kilimanjaro, MOMARS and Sea2Summit (adventure racing), 3 half marathons etc. I know I'm strong and tough. However, the fear of baby's head or shoulders not making it out safely has taken precedence and I'm totally fine with a C-section.
I'll admit that I am envious of those that are able to push out big babies and who knows if I could have done it or not, all I know is that I tried my hardest with Kai (9lbs 11oz with 95th percentile head) and we couldn't get him out after hours of pushing. I was shocked that I had a C-section with him, I never ever thought I would have one. Oh well, all I can say is she better be at least 9lbs with a ginormous head or I'm going to always wish I had tried:)
Hope you are all having a great long weekend!
Love, Louise

Woohoo! So pumped for baby girl to make her debut and to find out her name! Enjoy your weekend with your boys! We went out for our "last supper" before Addison made her debut and I'm sure we will do the same before this babe shows up in August!ReplyDelete
So excited!!! I remember the huge significance of the final days...realizing you are about to meet someone that will change your life! SO fun. In other news, last night I dreamed that you called me to take photos of your final day of pregnancy...and I showed up with a point and shoot...I was MORTIFIED!!! Praying for you friend :)ReplyDelete
Megan, you are hilarious:) Love that you are dreaming of me!!!ReplyDelete

Week 14 Waiver Wire
December 5, 2011 | Eliot
Week 13 has turned out to be quite the week for a few guys on the Waiver Wire. Of the top 20 Fake Football performances across the league at least 3 of them are probably on your waiver wire in Ponder, Orlovsky and Thomas. Fairly unprecedented if you look at the last 6 weeks – the only potential waiver add in the top 20 of PPR leagues was John Skelton's Week 10 performance when he put up 315 yards and 3 TDs vs. Philly.
We're headed into Playoff season which means hopefully your lineups are set, and you're not scrounging for replacements. It's imperative that you back your studs up, so Ray Rice owners – go claim Ricky Williams if he's out there (he had a nice day anyway yesterday). 4th tier WR's are not as important as backing up your starters at RB.
Good luck for those who made the playoffs, hopefully a few of these guys will get you to the next round. Don't forget to follow me at @EBlessTFF on Twitter, happy to answer any add/drop questions or lineup quandaries you may have.
Players who shouldn't be on waivers but if are, grab them: Matt Moore MIA, Tim Tebow DEN, Mark Sanchez NYJ
Christian Ponder, QB MIN – Ponder put together one of his better games of the year putting points on the board for the Vikings in every quarter. He finished the game 29/47 for 381 yards, 3 TDs and 2 INTs. 2 of his touchdowns went to Percy Harvin who has helped elevate the young quarterback's game in the absence of Adrian Peterson. The plays wend for 52 and 48 yards. Ponder has a fake football playoff schedule that includes going to Detroit, home vs. New Orleans (who Matt Stafford just put 408 yards up on) and on the road in Washington.
Dan Orlovsky, QB IND – On most weeks nobody on the Colts is an advisable fantasy play, but when matched up against one of the worst passing defenses and down big, we don't care about the flow of the game, we care about putting up statistics, which Dan the Man did on Sunday. Down 31-3 going into the 4th Orlovsky led 3 TD drives the final 2 which were capped off by passes to Pierre Garcon. He finessed with 353 yards, 2 TDs and a pick. His fantasy matchups aren't great in the playoffs as Indy goes to Baltimore then is home vs. Tennessee and Houston but he might be worth a flier and a desperation play (particularly vs. Tennessee) and might get some more garbage stats at the end of games as the Colts churn towards 0-16.
Keep an eye on: Donovan McNabb CHI? (they're in 'talks' reportedly), TJ Yates HOU (lets see what AJ's status is before endorsing him), Tarvaris Jackson SEA
Players who shouldn't be on waivers but if are, grab them: CJ Spiller BUF, Roy Helu WAS
Marion Barber, RB CHI – Forte owners, you DID back up your stud right? Oh you didn't? Now's your chance, hopefully you've got a nice waiver position because it looks like the Marion Barber show for the Bears from here on out. Make no mistake, Marion Barber is no Matt Forte. He doesn't have the change of direction (or pace) that Forte does but he can catch the ball out of the backfield which is important in the Martz offense. He was a serviceable back for Dallas for several years, and hasn't had the wear and tear that he typically would have this late in the season. Kahlil Bell may steal some carries but I think this job will be Barbers to lose. Pick him up.+
Brandon Saine, RB GB – James Starks re-aggravated his ankle injury in the second quarter of Green Bays win over New York which led to the emergence of Rookie Brandon Saine. Saine accumulated 45 total yards on the day and looked much more dynamic than Ryan Grant. His 4 receptions led the Packer backfield and they'll look to keep the 23-year old involved if Starks needs to miss any time. Saine should be picked up by Starks/Grant owners, especially in PPR leagues, as we know the Packers are willing to break in young talent late in the year (see: Starks, 2010).
Steven Ridley, RB NE – Shanahanigans? Nope…Belichekigans. Ridley, not The Law Firm, not Woodhead, not Faulk, and not Vereen (who was inactive) led the Patriots in carries vs. the Colts. When the Pats got up big (as they're likely to do the rest of the way – check their schedule) they handed the ball to Ridley down the stretch. He finished with 8 carries for 33 yards, which was almost 20 moor than BJGE. Ridley is not a guy your going to plug n' play in your playoff run, but he's definitely worth a stash on your bench in case BJGE gets hurt or Belichik smartens up and starts playing his young talent (a la Shanahan/Helu).
Keep an eye on: Marcel Reece OAK, Ricky Williams BAL (unless you own Rice), Michael Robinson SEA, Isaac Redman PIT (unless you own Mendy)
Players who shouldn't be on waivers but if are, grab them: Brad Smith BUF,
Demaryius Thomas, WR DEN – Welcome back to fantasy relevance Mr. Thomas. I'm not sure where you've been since Week 2…of 2010. Thomas is a raw talent, your prototypical "big" receiver at 6'3″, 235 lbs. Came out of Georgia Tech (sounding familiar yet?) as a 1st round pick, 22nd overall, for the Bronco's and has been battling injuries all year. By far his best game of the year, Thomas caught 4 balls for 144 yards and 2 TDs from everybody's favorite QB Tim Tebow. Thomas is a risky play going forward since the Bronco's are not going to throw the ball if they don't have to, but he does have stellar matchups vs. New England and at Buffalo in Weeks 15 and 16. Thomas could be a high risk, high upside Flex option to close out the fantasy season.
Donald Driver, WR GB – Driver turned in a decent fantasy day, albeit without racking up a huge amount of yardage. His 2 TDs were crucial and it was clear that Rodgers was comfortable going to the veteran in a big moment on the field. Driver is battling with some serious competition in Green Bay for targets and he's nothing more than backup add to either Greg Jennings or Jordy Nelson, but should one of those guys go down he'd likely be the first beneficiary of additional targets.
Andre Roberts, WR ARI – Roberts is quietly putting together a nice season alongside Larry Fitzgerald and Early Doucet in Arizona. He led the Cardinals with 6 catches for 111 yards outpacing both aforementioned Arizona wide receivers. Roberts and Kevin Kolb were on the same page all game, and he seems to have benefited from their 1st string QBs return. He's got a tough schedule down the stretch facing San Fransisco, Cleveland then at Cincinnati. He could be a nice sleeper play Week 15 vs. Cleveland with Joe Haden blanketing Larry Fitzgerald, it could open up more lanes for Roberts to make plays.
Chaz Schilens, WR OAK – Schillens has stepped his game up big time in the absence of Jacoby Ford and Denarius Moore. Carson Palmer looked his way often vs. Miami and he responded with 6 catches for 89 yards with a long of 30. No other Raider player had more than 3 catches so Schillens clearly was Palmers favorite target on this day. Schillens has now put together back to back solid performances. If Moore and Ford continue to stay on the sideline, he's got a nice matchup Week 14 at Green Bay where I'd consider him as a flex play, especially in a PPR league.
Keep an eye on: Kyle Williams SF, Devin Aromashodu CHI, Riley Cooper PHI (Maclin dependent – if he's out add him), Brandon LaFell CAR, Titus Young DET (his penalties won't help his cause)
Players who shouldn't be on waivers but if are, grab them: Aaron Hernandez NE, Dustin Keller NYJ, Brent Celek PHI
Logan Paulson TE, WAS – With news that Fred Davis could be suspended for the remaining 4 games of the year, the Redskins may have to turn to their 3rd string TE Logan Paulson, an undrafted free-agent out of UCLA. Paulson has performed decently in limited action (didn't play in Week 13) and has 7 catches for 95 yards on the year. Washington historically has made good use of their TEs as both Davis and Chris Cooley (injured) have had fantasy success in recent years. Grossman is a check-down machine so Paulson could be a sneaky add this week in anticipation of Davis' suspension.
Jacob Tamme TE, IND – Tamme appeared to benefit from Orlovsky at the helm securing 5 catches for 49 yards on 6 targets. Tamme is a big TE, who lacks speed but runs good routes. He's got the same tough schedule down the stretch but he's likely to remain consistent with 50 yards receiving, mixing in at least a TD or 2 in the final 3 fantasy weeks.
Keep an eye on: Travis Beckum NYG, Evan Moore CLE, Zach Miller SEA
Olindo Mare K, CAR – Mare has put up 29 points in his last 3 weeks combined as Carolina has been able to move the ball and put up points recently. He's got a decent chance to kick 2 or more FGs vs. Atlanta in Week 14 and has a very good matchup in Week 16 vs. Tampa Bay in a game that Carolina should put up 30+.
Denver DST – If you're a matchup DST player you were happy with Denver putting a TD on the board, and not so happy with the amount of points they gave up to Ponder and the Vikings in Week 13. They've got another good matchup on paper when they host Chicago and their depleted offense. No Matt Forte, and no Jay Cutler mean Marion Barber and Caleb Hanie will be the primary ball handlers facing the Denver D. Hanie is coming off a 3 INT day and Kansas City was able to hold them to a measly 3 points. Grab Denver and start with confidence.

What is Sure Step?
Reduce the Risk and Danger of Slips and Falls on Floors, Bathtubs and More!!!
Sure Step is a long lasting chemical treatment that creates an invisible, sophisticated tread design in the surface of hard mineral floors and porcelain/enamel bathtubs.
-Will not change the appearance of floor or bathtub.
-Indoors-outdoors-all kinds of weather
-Will not chip, peel or discolor.
-Inexpensive and highly effective.
-It is not a sealer, spray on film or coating.
A bathtub treated with Sure Step is safer wet than dry!
Use floor or tub immediately following treatment and has no odor.
Sure Step is a non-slip treatment that helps protect property owners from liabilities associated with slip and fall injuries. The end result is that the floor or bathtub is actually safer wet than when dry!
Sure Step can be used on the following surfaces and more:
- Concrete
- Spanish Tile
- Glazed Brick
- Terrazzo
- Quarry Tile
- Ceramic Tile
- Marble
- Porcelain/Enamel
- And many more hard mineral surfaces

In fact, you could be protecting yourself and others from what could ultimately be a life-changing accident.
Slip and fall accidents are one of the largest health and safety concerns today. Floors that are slippery when wet or greasy lead to accidents that create customer dissatisfaction, lower employee morale, reduced efficiency, unneeded stresses and a loss of revenue.

Commissioner Tom Hatmaker called County Mayor William Baird's leadership into question Monday night. As the commission discussed appointments to the industrial committee and planning commission, Hatmaker requested to be added to the emergency medical service committee and the environmental committee.
"I participate in the meetings, I just don't have a vote," Hatmaker said. "This just gives me a vote."
The unassuming brown house with a blue door sits under a hill in Jacksboro. It appears similar to the other homes on Cedar Circle.
Except for the yellow crime scene tape that encircles the front porch and the quarantined signs that decorate the front of the home.
The house at 353 Cedar Circle is just one of 194 homes quarantined in Campbell County because meth had been produced there, according to the Tennessee Meth Registry.
Sports News:
Turkey Shoot
When: Friday
Where: Midway High School; Roane County, Tenn.
Kickoff: 7:30 p.m.
Records: Jellico (0-4) at Midway (1-3)
Previous meeting: Last season, Midway took this non-district game from the Blue Devils. The Green Waves took last year's game, the first between the two schools since 2004, 56-12 in Jellico.
Where: Campbell County High School; L. Hope Dossett Stadium
Records: Clinton (0-4, 0-2 District 3-AAA) at Campbell County (2-3, 1-2)
Previous meeting: Campbell County took last year's meeting in the District 3-AAA contest at Clinton. The Cougars took the win 28-23.
Campbell County racked up 508 yards of offense, but miscues within the red zone put a damper on their upset bid over Hardin Valley.
Five times, the Cougars were within the 5-yard line, resulting in only two scores. A trip to the 8-yard line also resulted in Campbell County coming away empty handed.
With two turnovers on downs, a fumble, and an interception inside the 10-yard line, head coach Justin Price was obviously frustrated as the Cougars fell 48-30.
Most call it a goose egg. Jacksboro calls them Eagle eggs.
Either way, it's what Jacksboro opponents have been seeing as their score against the Eagles. Through three games this season, the Jacksboro defense has not been scored on thus far.
Throughout the season, Soldiers' Memorial and Eagleton have both seen zeroes on the board, as Norris only scored two off of a late safety. The Senators fell 38-2.
To Eagle head coach, Mike Miller, it's an achievement that his team can be proud of.
A fire burned two sets of slips and about 50 boats at Springs Dock Marina early Monday morning. Authorities don't suspect foul play.
Campbell County Sheriff's Department Captain Brandon Elkins went to Spring's Dock Marina Monday for an unofficial investigation. He found nothing, he said.
"There was nothing to show anybody started that fire on purpose," Elkins said. "Nobody was seen on camera."
The fire was a slow burning fire, Elkins said.
Pete Suttles got his day in court.
He also got a verdict that partially exonerated him.
In January, he was charged with aggravated arson and two counts of aggravated assault by domestic violence. On Tuesday a jury found him guilty of two counts of assault. A not guilty verdict was returned on the arson charge.
It was alleged Suttles attacked his then girlfriend, Shelly Ann Keith and her grandmother, Rosa Lee Hicks, then burnt down the trailer they all been living in.
Lori Phillips Jones' enthusiasm is infectious.
It is a trait that will serve her well now that she has taken the helm at the Eighth Judicial District Attorney's Office.
Last week marked the beginning of Jones' new appointment.
She became the district attorney general after Paul Phillips retired following 33 years in the position. With two years left in Phillips' term, Jones was chosen by Gov. Bill Haslam to step into the role.
In a sense it is the job Jones has been preparing for since high school.

Hissong Cabin
This cabin was taken down near Lancaster, Pa. It was originally a 2 story home that had a great deal of damage on enough of the logs that we converted it to a 1.5 story home. The cabin is hand hewn oak and measures 28 by 30 ft. As a converted to a 1.5 story, there is ample room for a loft and/or bedroom upstairs. The ceiling height is 8 ft downstairs. The cabin dates to c. 1850 and the price includes a fully converted 1.5 story home, tagged, dismantled and loaded. The pictures below show the home as it originally stood as a 2 story.

LCQ1: Development of data centres in Industrial Estates
Following is a question by the Hon Frederick Fung and a reply by the Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development, Mr Gregory So, in the Legislative Council today (March 25):
On the 11th of last month, I raised a question on the grant of the sites in the Industrial Estates (IEs) under the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTPC) for the development of data centres. In this connection, will the Government inform this Council:
(1) as the authorities replied that "HKSTPC has previously conducted investigations into some suspected cases of letting or subletting the premises to a third party. Individual grantees which were substantiated to be in breach of the terms and conditions of the lease (lease-breaching) have rectified the breach upon follow-up by HKSTPC. HKSTPC will continue to monitor the operation of data centres in the IEs and take follow-up actions according to the lease agreement as appropriate", whether the Government knows the details of the lease-breaching cases in the past three years and the mechanism for imposing penalties on the lease-breaching grantees, including the penalties for a first breach and for repeated breaches, as well as the circumstances under which the sites will be recovered; whether the various lease agreements entered with the grantees contain such penalty clauses; if so, of the details; if not, whether HKSTPC will consider including such clauses; if HKSTPC will not, of the reasons for that;
(2) given that on the one hand, HKSTPC needs to attract investors to IEs for income generation and, on the other, is responsible for monitoring the companies to which IE sites are granted to see if there is any breach of the lease, how the authorities avoid HKSTPC's performance of such dual functions giving rise to conflicts of roles and interests; and
(3) whether "the provision of a fair business environment" is a consideration and a principle adopted when the authorities formulated the strategies for promoting the development of data centres; if so, given that HKSTPC has granted IE sites for premiums that are below market value and thus attracted quite a number of multinational enterprises to set up data centres in its IEs, whether the authorities have assessed if such practice has put operators who set up data centres outside IEs on an unlevel playing field; if there is such an unfair situation, whether the authorities will conduct a comprehensive review of the strategies concerned with a view to creating a fair and transparent business environment?
To address the demand for land from the local manufacturing industry, the Government developed the Industrial Estate (IE) Programme in the 1970s with the following objectives:
(a) underpinning wider economic development through broadening the industrial/manufacturing base and upgrading technology levels; and
(b) providing land for manufacturing industries with special needs which could not operate in flatted factories or should be located away from urban areas because of the need for more horizontal space, high floor loading, greater headroom requirements and/or environmental considerations.
At present, the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTPC) is responsible for administering the three IEs in Tai Po (TPIE), Yuen Long (YLIE) and Tseung Kwan O (TKOIE), offering a total of 217 hectares of land for long lease until 2047. Operation in IEs over the years in a way demonstrates the transformation of industrial base in Hong Kong. In the early years since the opening of TPIE and YLIE in 1978 and 1980 respectively, traditional manufacturing industries, such as manufacturing of machinery parts, metal products, packaging materials, construction materials as well as heavy water users like waste paper recycling, bleaching and dyeing constituted the majority of the land grants. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, technology advancement was observed in new projects of electronic parts manufacturing including printed circuits boards and semiconductors in the two IEs. Food and beverages production as well as printing and publishing also constituted a major sector during this period. With the introduction of TKOIE in two stages between 1994 and 1996, greater opportunities were offered to those operators that had requirements for larger sites or requiring marine access. Due to scarcity of land and cost reasons, etc., a significant number of industries involving mass manufacturing have gradually moved to the Mainland. However, Hong Kong has competitive advantages such as strategic location, access to the huge Mainland market, international intellectual property protection regime, good "brand name", good supply of talent, etc. These render it suitable for high value added and high technology industries such as high-end data centres, pharmaceutical and other clean industries. In this connection, the Government extended in 1998 the scope of industrial activities permissible in the IEs to cover the industrial services sectors, such as broadcasting and telecommunications.
Under the existing IE policy, the land in the IEs is granted at a premium based on land development costs and adjusted periodically taking into account of inflation and prevailing market conditions. HKSTPC will not specify industries for individual IE sites. All industries which meet the basic admission criteria to IEs are eligible to apply, and all applications are vetted according to the same mechanism by HKSTPC, which also monitors the operation of the industries in the IEs.
My reply to the three parts of the question is as follows:
(1) As the management authority of the IEs, HKSTPC conducts site inspection of the premises on a regular basis to monitor the operation therein. Over the past three years, only one suspected case of letting or subletting the premises to a third party involved the operation of a data centre. HKSTPC has conducted a number of site inspections to the data centre concerned and made enquiries to its operator since 2013. HKSTPC is currently seeking legal advice based on the information gathered and will continue to negotiate with the data centre. If the grantee is found to be in breach of the terms and conditions of the lease agreement, HKSTPC will take appropriate legal actions according to the lease terms. As it involves sensitive commercial information of the data centre and will affect the legal proceedings which may be taken in the future, we are not able to disclose the relevant details.
Generally speaking, HKSTPC will make enquiries to the grantee about operations suspected of breaching the terms and conditions of the lease and will demand the grantee to cease the alleged breach. If the grantee is found to be in breach of the terms and conditions of the lease agreement and refuses to take appropriate remedial actions, HKSTPC will take appropriate legal actions according to the lease terms, including charging an additional premium, depending on the severity of the breach. If the breach is still not rectified, HKSTPC reserves the right to initiate the re-entry procedure according to the lease agreement. It is stipulated in all lease agreements of the IE sites that HKSTPC can take actions on any breaches. However, as each case of breach varies and for some complicated cases, HKSTPC may need to seek legal advice before deciding on the action to be taken, we consider it not feasible to pre-specify the approach in handling repeated breaches of the lease.
(2) As mentioned above, the objective of the IE Programme is to underpin the overall development of Hong Kong's economy through broadening its industrial base and upgrading its technology levels. To enable our economy to move up the value chain, HKSTPC has to provide land suitable for special-purpose manufacturing and service industries having regarding to the changes in the needs of the industries in Hong Kong. To implement this public policy objective, HKSTPC has developed conditions of grant that are fair and just and a transparent premium policy which are applicable to all industries in the IEs. To ensure that grantees will operate according to the conditions of grant, the IEs have established a stringent monitoring mechanism, and the management will also report to the Board of Directors appointed by the Government on its lease enforcement actions. This is necessary for the implementation of the IE policy and will not lead to conflict of roles or interests of HKSTPC in managing the IEs.
(3) Level-playing field is key to Hong Kong's success and underpins all Government policies and measures. Same as other companies operating in IEs, data centres in IEs have to comply with the criteria, conditions and restrictions stipulated in the land grants as set out by HKSTPC.
In respect of data centre development, recognising that data centres are essential infrastructure to sustain Hong Kong's continuous economic development and entrench our position as a trading and financial centre, the Government has implemented a number of facilitation measures to promote their development, including providing land, encouraging the conversion of industrial buildings and use of industry lots for data centre use, and providing one-stop support services. These measures are applicable to all types and sizes of data centres. To foster a favourable business environment for the data centre sector, we have been continuously reviewing and fine-tuning the facilitation measures in light of industry's feedback.

Your former college roommate just called; she's driving through town with her family and wants to stop by in a couple of hours. Of course you said yes, but now you're panicking. What do you serve to unexpected guests? Never fear, dear blog fans. We've rounded up a bunch of great quick-prep snacks you can make based on stuff you've probably already got in your fridge or cupboards. Short on these ingredients but overstocked on others? Go to My Fridge Food and use their handy checklist to select the items you have, then generate a list of recipes based on them.
Now get cracking. Company's almost here.
Serve with toasted pita bread or crackers, or pour over pasta for a simple, filling lunch. (Tip: if you don't have fresh parsley, use about half the quantity of the dried version. Table salt is fine instead of sea salt, as well.)
Food Network doyenne Giada de Laurentiis serves this quickie spread with pita chips, but we like it smeared on warm, toasted crusty bread (bonus: this is a great way to use up that past-it-prime French baguette). If you don't have cannellini beans on hand, substitute any mild, creamy bean like Great Northern, navy, kidney, or flageolet.
Walnuts, pecans, and hazelnuts work best, but we like almonds, too. What we like even more: this spicy-sweet recipe is ridiculously easy to make, but somehow yields an impressive—and crowd-pleasing—snack.
Leftovers alert! This is a great recipe to throw together using remnants of last night's dinner without looking like you're serving your guests, well, scraps. Pretty much anything goes here for filling—from grilled chicken to pulled pork to a mix of squashes or beans.
You'd be hard-pressed to find a person who doesn't like the classic combo of mozzarella and tomatoes. And somehow everything looks cooler on a stick. So toss these together—use any kind of fresh mozzarella, sliced to appropriate kebab size, and drizzle with a splash of prepared balsamic vinaigrette if you're running really short on time.

The Central Educational Center is a product of multiple visions, desires, and hopes. The ideal vision is outlined in a book entitled "The Eden Conspiracy" (Harless, 1997). Other perspectives include a requirement from local business that basic skills of high school graduates need to be rapidly improved, the desire of a growing local school system to provide costly industry-standard career-technical education to all high school students, the vision of a regional technical college to "dual enroll" high school students and make technical college a viable post-secondary option, and the hopes of a Governor looking for a viable model to support his desire to reform education partly through a new infusion of technical education opportunities.

Congressional Democrats pushed to wrap up negotiations on a budget plan that would help President Barack Obama's ambitious goal of overhauling the health care system.
WASHINGTON � Congressional Democrats pushed to wrap up negotiations on a budget plan that would help President Barack Obama's ambitious goal of overhauling the health care system.
Negotiators from the House and Senate met Monday, and Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad, D-N.D., confirmed details of a tentative pact reached last week that would prevent Senate Republicans from delaying or blocking Obama's plan to vastly expand government-subsidized health care.
The $3.5 trillion plan for the budget year starting Oct. 1 embraces several of Obama's key goals, including health care reform, funds for domestic programs and clean energy, and a tax increase for individuals making more than $200,000 a year or couples making more than $250,000.
But the plan would allow Obama's signature $400 tax cut for most workers to expire at the end of next year. Even after squeezing the defense and war budgets to levels that are probably unrealistic, the plan would cause a deficit of $523 billion in five years.
"I think this is a good budget," Conrad said. But, he added, "Much more will have to be done to get us on a more sustainable course," including slowing the growth of benefit programs like Medicare and overhauling the tax code.
A drive by moderate House "Blue Dog" Democrats � with support from Obama � to require tax cuts and increases in federal benefit programs to be offset with higher taxes or spending cuts was snagging the talks most of the day on Monday. The House moderates were searching for ways to get a balky Senate to go along and enact such a "pay-as-you-go" requirement.
Under such a pay-as-you-go law, the budget would be cut automatically if taxes or so-called mandatory spending programs are changed in ways that add to the deficit. The existing pay-as-you-go provision is simply a rule that has be waived on key occasions.
The budget plan would patch the alternative minimum tax for three years to prevent more than 20 million taxpayers from getting socked with increases averaging $2,000 or so. The estate tax would be kept at current levels and allow for estates up to $7 million to be exempt from the tax with a 45 percent rate applying to inheritances above that.
It would cut Obama's request of about $50 billion worth of increases for non-defense agency operating budgets by about $10 billion, lowering the increases from 10 percent on average to 8 percent.
Under Capitol Hill's arcane rules, the annual congressional budget produces an outline for follow-up tax and spending legislation. Most importantly, the measure would allow Obama's health plan to pass the Senate by a simple majority instead of the 60 votes that are needed for plenty of other legislation.
Democrats and independent allies control 58 Senate seats.
Democrats hope the House will adopt the budget on Tuesday and the Senate on Wednesday, which marks Obama's 100 days in office.
Obama and his Democratic allies say they still want support from Republicans for health care legislation but need the option of expedited action in case the debate becomes overly partisan.
"For this bipartisan process to take root, Republicans must demonstrate a sincere interest in legislating," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., wrote in a letter Monday to GOP Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. "Rather than just saying no, you must be willing to offer concrete and constructive proposals."
The fast-track rules also would apply to Obama's plan to eliminate lender subsidies on banks and other lenders presently participating in the federal student loan program. Direct lending by the government would replace the program, with the savings dedicated to boosting Pell Grants for lower-income college students.
While handing Obama a victory, there is still an extraordinary amount of work before Obama's vision of health care reform becomes a reality, including raising taxes and cutting spending to generate $1 trillion or more over the next decade to fund the health care initiative.
The budget plan also anticipates the expiration of former President George W. Bush's tax cuts on wealthier people's income and investments at the end of next year. But it ignores Obama's calls for raising taxes to help pay for his health care initiative by reducing the benefits wealthier people take on itemized deductions like charitable gifts and mortgage interest.

On January 16, the St. George Museum of Art unveils a solo exhibition of 35 works by California artist Erin Hanson entitled Painted Parks, which is part of a yearlong series of juried art shows celebrating the National Park Service Centennial. The show opens with a private artist's reception for museum members and invited patrons on Friday, January 15, and then to the general public on Saturday. Hanson is present for events on both days.
For her first solo show at a museum, Hanson brings works featuring scenes from national parks and monuments around the West, including Zion, Bryce, Glacier, Cedar Breaks, Canyon de Chelly, and Monument Valley, all employing her signature contemporary impasto and brilliant color. Having once painted plein-air, the artist says she now paints almost exclusively in the studio, spending her outdoor time capturing the fleeting moments of light with her camera instead of her brush. "My style looks like plein air," Hanson says, "because I work very quickly, wet on wet."
Viewers who are familiar with her work will notice new artistic directions in these paintings. "The landscape is pushed to the background, and the focus is on the trees and the changing colors of the sky seen through the branches," Hanson says. While she continues to work with a limited palette of just four or five colors, mixing all of her values and hues for a painting from those colors, she has expanded the number of colors she chooses from for any given palette. "The first four years that I painted in this style, I used the same four colors the whole time," she says. "Recently, I have been experimenting with a lot more colors—still on a limited palette. I have also been painting larger works. One [painting] is 5 feet tall. A lot are in the 30 by 40 range."
As part of her commitment to the National Parks Service and its importance, Hanson is donating a percentage of proceeds from the works sold to the organization.
The museum became familiar with Hanson's work when it hosted an exhibition of works from the Ken Ratner Collection in May 2015. "Ken collects her work and introduced us to her," says museum manager and curator Deborah Reeder. "As she often focuses on the national parks and landscape, her vibrantly alive work seems perfect for our show focusing on the National Park Centennial." —Laura Rintala

Kaludah update
Managed to coordinate with Liz Joyes to visit North Kaludah at midday today to see Maybellene working with Jeremy, followed by Tyson.
Maybellene is looking to have regained the fitness and form to now develop her training from where she left off last time in work with Christine.
Working responsively off the leg in shoulder-in and leg-yielding, maintaining form and forward momentum in walk pirouetttes, maintaining a balanced counter-canter until asked for a transition, and maintaining working trot and canter work until asked for variations.
This was Tyson's 4th ride back in work after his initial breaking-in; already showing some lovely work 'through' and into the bridle.
These two have the same sire, the famed Richmeed Medallion, but are out of quite different American Saddlebred mares. Maybelle's dam was the elegant bay Canyonleigh Memphis Belle, and Tyson's dam is the palomino C. Manhattan Melody. Maybellene is now a mature 5-and-a-half, whilst Tyson is just a growing lad, rising 4 years old. Both have exceptionally kind temperament and willingness to work!!
Lovely to watch!!

Different ways to wear oversized shirts and t-shirts : It doesn't matter whether you are a hard core fashion fan, or you have a very good knowledge about latest fashion trends and the best places to look for trendy stuff, you still will have an oversized shirt or t-shirt sitting somewhere secretly hidden in your wardrobe.
An oversized piece of cloth is always a controversial item to adore, and not so comfy to take out of the closet. While some start using such a piece of cloth as nightwear, others keep it inside the closet and keep on ignoring it for years.
How To Wear Oversized Shirt & T-Shirts
It is because wearing an oversized shirt outside the home is quite a challenging thing to do, but still there are ways to turn the game in your favor.
Although it's an oversized cloth, it shouldn't be ditched so easily. In the fashion world, there are lots of ways and great styles to provide versatility to your personality with different types of clothes, including the oversized t-shirt or shirt that you have been avoiding for weeks.
In the rapidly changing fashion world, there are always some styles to wear these oversized items. There are various kinds of outfit ideas where you can wear your oversized t-shirt and shirt, and give freshness to your fashion sense. Here're some cool ideas to make use of your oversized t-shirt and shirt:
Alter The Sleeves
The first thing that you should do is dealing with the long sleeves. No matter what's in your mind for the long t-shirt, you have to do something of sleeves so that they don't look bad on you. The best thing to do here is alter the sleeves. You don't have to follow rocket science here.
Just imagine a design in your mind, take scissors and trim the long sleeves. While trimming the sleeves, ensure that you are doing it cleanly. Through this method, you can give blousing effect to your oversized tee and wear it by tucking it into a skirt.
Roll-up The Sleeves
Here, you don't need some special equipments or tools to make your oversized t-shirt comfortable to wear. Just roll up the sleeves and give yourself an appealing, tomboy look. In case, the sleeves get unrolled several times while wearing the tee, you can use sewing method to sew the sleeves when they are rolled up and prevent them from unrolling in the future.
When you will applying this method, make sure that you are following a tomboy-like instructions, such as wearing the tee with rolled up sleeves with denim shorts where the t-shirt will be tucked into the shorts.
Wear Oversized T-Shirt With A Belt
If you have a t-shirt which doesn't have long sleeves and is long in the body only, you can use a narrow belt and wear it over the waist. Make sure that the belt is matching the t-shirt and legging or jeans you are wearing.
While applying this idea, you must ensure that the tee is not too wide as it may make you feel uncomfortable and it will be difficult for you to use the belt in the best possible. In case of a too wide tee, you can use sewing tools to make it little comfortable for you.
Also Check : What Color Outfits To Wear With White Heels
Just Knot It Up
If you don't have the time to do some experiments with your oversized t-shirt by using some scissors or sewing equipments, you can just gather its bottom and twist it several times to knot it up.
It will take just few seconds to give a trendy look to your long t-shirt. Here, you should not forget to roll the sleeves up while knotting up the tee's bottom. You can pair the knotted t-shirt with a long skirt or fashionable jeans.
Just The Overisized T-shirt
Yes! There wasn't any typo and you read it right. Here, you just need a long, oversized t-shirt to give your appearance a hot and big statement.

Is it too late into the cold & flu season to start giving tips for it? Ah, well. I got my first cold of the season, so now I'm sharing how I take care of it with essential oils. 🙂
Usually when I get a cold, I am mostly fine. No severe coughs, usually no fever and if I do get a fever it's only 1 degree higher than my norm. I just get very tired and very congested. I'd say about 50% of the time my congestion turns into a sinus infection, which honestly nothing can help except antibiotics.
So what do I do when I'm congested when it's still just a cold?
I grab peppermint, spearmint, eucalyptus, cajeput, anything that tingles when you sniff it. My personal favorite pre-made blend for this situation is actually Fabulous Frannie's Cold & Flu (blend of eucalyptus, cajeput, & peppermint).
Here are some options for what I do:
- Diffuse it into the air. This is my number one option. I curl up next to my diffuser and let it run a blend of the above mentioned oils. Not only is the humidifier aspect soothing when I'm sick, but the scent of the oils helps open up my nasal passages.
- Dilute about 30 drops total of oils in fractionated coconut oil, then smooth it over my cheeks, nose bridge, and right under my nostrils. This awakens my senses, helps me think more clearly when I'm in the cold virus fog, and helps open up my nasal passages.
- The last thing I do is place that diluted blend of oils on a tissue and occasionally rub my nose with it. I don't actually blot my snot drippings or blow my nose; I just essentially inhale the scent. This does the same thing as rubbing it on my nose does, but it just quickly opens up and soothes. You can get the same effect from making an inhaler as well.
No one enjoys being sick, and no one enjoys congestion. Hopefully these tips help alleviate some of the most aggravating symptoms for you. Honestly, when it comes to having a cold, the best thing you can do is rest, drink lots of water, eat healthy, and try to not overexert yourself.

Rachel Podger Celebrates Gramophone Award Win with US Concerts and a New Release
Channel Classics artist Rachel Podger is the recipient of this year's Gramophone Award for Baroque Instrumental for her recording of Biber's Rosary Sonatas. The incomparable violinist, who Gramophone called "a glorious example of someone who lives life through her violin," reveals all the mysteries and glories of these amazing works.
Podger follows that up with her latest release, leading her own ensemble, Brecon Baroque, in Bach's monumental Art of Fugue and Classics Today raves these are "first-class performances."
Podger has been recording and performing Bach's music for violin to critical acclaim for over two decades. In 2015 she became the tenth (and first female) recipient of the Royal Academy of Music Bach Prize.
On November 2-6, Podger will lead San Francisco's Philharmonia Baroque in a program of Bach, Vivaldi, Tartini and Veracini. Tickets are available now at the Philharmonia Baroque box office.

'Detox' has become a relatively common term these days, with a lot of the hype being directly attributable to celebrities. Over the past two decades, the word 'detox' has taken on a much broader meaning, other than its traditional reference to withdrawing from drug and alcohol use. We now regard it as a process of removal of everyday toxins.
It has been proposed that the skyrocketing rates of infertility, certain cancers, and precocious puberty is connected with exposure to environmental toxins, present in everything from plastic baby bottles, metal food cans, detergents, flame retardants, food, toys, cosmetics, and pesticides. Furthermore, some toxins are thought to play a role in metabolic disturbances, such as insulin resistance, obesity, and Type 2 diabetes.
The five organs that orchestrate good clearance of toxins include the gut, kidney, skin, liver, and lungs. Here are three essential steps to put your body on the path to detox:
Essential Steps To Detox Your Body
1. Go with your gut
It's best to begin any type of cleansing program by first ensuring that the digestive tract is healthy, so that you can excrete toxins without difficulty. Constipation would logically lead to a toxin buildup — the longer it takes for the body to eliminate wastes, the greater the possibility that they will be reabsorbed into the systemic circulation. One food-based ingredient that keeps the gastrointestinal tract clean is fiber. It not only "traps" toxins within, but also assists in stimulating bowel movement, so that toxins are promptly eliminated. Good sources of fiber include legumes, non-starchy vegetables, beans, fruit, seeds, nuts, and flaxseed meal.
Deep breathing is one of the best ways to not only rid the lungs of stagnant air and contaminants, but it also aids digestion. When we breathe in deeply, the diaphragm moves downwards, gently massaging the intestines, and when we exhale, we create space in the gut area, allowing waste to move through. Deep, belly breathing creates relaxation and peace of mind, keeping you in the present moment.
2. Flow with fluid
If we aren't excreting toxins in our stools, they could end up in our urine and sweat, which is why drinking adequate water is imperative for healthy detoxification. Fiber works best with fluid, and being properly hydrated allows toxins to move in and out of cells freely. Monitoring your fluid intake by the color of your urine is one method to assess your hydration status — if it is dark to medium yellow, you probably need more water. Please note that certain vitamins, such as the B vitamins, may also darken urine, creating the perception that you need more water. A general guideline for fluid intake is just a little over 2 litres a day, for a person weighing 70kgs. In addition to water, you can also consume fresh fruit juices to boost your fluid intake. This is important in detox as it aids perspiration, but don't forget to rehydrate after you sweat.
3. Liven the liver
The liver is the classic "hub" of metabolic detoxification and is the primary organ in detoxification. There are two phases by which toxins are cleared by the liver — the first phase makes toxins more water soluble and the second phase packages them up, so they can be excreted from the body. It is important that phase II enzymes are working efficiently because the phase I compounds can often be more chemically toxic to the body, as compared to their initial state. One of the basic requirements for these enzymes is protein, which is why a juice or water fast may impede effective liver detox. High-quality, hypoallergenic protein such as rice protein, with added amino acids, is one example of a protein source that can provide the raw materials to get toxins packaged for their exit from the body. There are other substances in the diet (and/or dietary supplements) that can help streamline the processing of toxins through the liver, with some of my favorites being green tea, curry, and cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and sprouts.
Epigallocatechingallate, otherwise known as EGCG, found in green tea, can assist with boosting phase II enzymes, as well as providing antioxidant protection against phase I metabolites. Another powerful substance for liver detox is curcumin, the active compound of turmeric. Curcumin is an anti-inflammatory substance that balances phase I and phase II activities.
In retrospect, detox is an essential process for most individuals today, due to the increased toxic burden we carry. Whether you eat foods for daily detox or undergo a targeted, more intensive program with a healthcare professional, make sure to approach it in a holistic manner.

The following are some books I've read and/or come highly recommended from others and are sitting in my "To Read" pile.

Not My Son! (Rodney Peete)
Great for dads and moms alike! Tom really enjoyed this dad's perspective and journey.
Ten Things Every Child With Autism Wishes You Knew (Ellen Notbohm) http://www.amazon.com/Things-Every-Child-Autism-Wishes/dp/1932565302
The title says it all and is a must for every family member to begin their understanding of a child's experience with autism. Written by a mom who really gets it. Easy read.
Mother Warriors (Jenny McCarthy)
Who doesn't know this mom's got guts?!
ANY book by Dr. Temple Grandin! (As well as the HBO movie-a must see)
Defeating Autism (Michael Fitzpatrick)
My Brother Charlie (Holly Robinson Peete)
This book, co-authored by Mrs. Peete's daughter whose twin is autistic made me cry at it's tenderness and simplicity. Great book for siblings!

Sybarite Jewellery Dinner
We designed and produced a dinner for Sybarite Jewellery hosted by Natalia Vodianova at Zaha Hadid's Sackler Gallery.Taking inspiration from Sybarite's jewellery line we created a table of moving ballerinas and carousels who were set on an illuminated silver runner. Guests were greeted by a life sized snow globe containing a whimsical performance to music. Inside, the air of romanticism continued with snow globe placements and a dreamy mirror moon photo set. Following dinner guests pulled bespoke crackers and one lucky lady found the key to a pair of Sybarite earrings, for those who weren't so lucky on leaving the party they received a goodie box filled with bespoke glass engraved Sybarite baubles and chocolates created in the shape of the Sybarite print. A fun way to start the Christmas festivities….

After School Music Groups
Tim Rouse and Andrew Gilpin
After School Music Group
Mr Rouse, Mr Gilpin and Leigh Enright will be running after school music lessons for students for guitar, bass guitar, drums and keyboard from grade 3 to 6. These classes are aimed at getting the children familiar with the instruments. They will be grouped according to skill level to ensure a targeted teaching approach appropriate to their needs. Click here for more information.
After School Ukulele Club
Mr Gilpin and Mr Rouse will be running after school ukulele lessons for students in Grade 1 and 2. These classes are aimed at getting the children familiar with the instrument and its chord structures.
The group has come about due to the number of parents who have enquired about their child joining Guitar Group. Unfortunately Guitar Group is only offered to students from grades 3 to 6 because of the size of the instrument and the vast number of students in these cohorts. Ukulele is the perfect instrument to play before moving onto the guitar (strumming, chords, plucking, using a pic, understanding the fretboard…). Click here for more information.
