Areti Georgopoulos strives for harmony in the workplace. Thus, Harmony Law Firm was born. She has been lucky to find harmony in her job and through her volunteering with the HCBA, even if it has sometimes come unexpectedly.
Six months into serving as co-chair of the HCBA Labor and Employment Section, Georgopoulos was representing a client who was having issues with her employer. Negotiations between the parties were not going well, so Georgopoulos' opposing counsel said that an outside lawyer would be taking over the negotiations, and she would be getting a call from Kurt Erickson.
Fortunately, she knew Erickson—he was the other co-chair of the section. Even though they were on opposite sides of the negotiating table, their previous connections helped the process move along. "I found that it was a very efficient way to resolve the dispute because we already knew each other. There was trust and mutual respect between each other," she said. "We were able to reach a satisfactory resolution in that case. I did attribute it, in addition to his lawyering skills, and perhaps mine as well, to our effective advocacy. But I also attribute it to the fact that we had been working together."
Georgopoulos also appreciates that she gets to work with defense counsel in non-contentious settings. She has planned CLE seminars and participated on panels with other labor & employment attorneys. "It's really a space where there is a lot of collegiality, where there is an interest and truly an exchange of ideas, perspectives, and it's just a space that's very conducive to informative and insightful discussion. And it's just building relationships across the aisle if you will," she said.
The local aspect of the HCBA has also helped the collegiality between all types of labor and employment lawyers. "The HCBA Labor & Employment section was an opportunity to work with defense attorneys and generate ideas for insightful seminars that were relevant to both sides of an employment dispute. I like that from a philosophical perspective," she said.
The involvement with the HCBA has helped burnish her credentials among her colleagues. "They know who I am and what I do for the HCBA and there is a recognition of my role as a chair, trying to bring together, wanting to have open and informative debates about how we do what we do. I would say the reputation is respected, so it does add a layer of understanding," she said.
Harmony has become a part of her practice in other ways as well. "Even potential clients will call me and say, I saw your website and your name. I like this idea of harmony," she said. "I thought on some subliminal level and some direct level I am striving for the resolution and the harmony, even though I am a litigator and tell people that I'm still that fierce advocate. Ultimately, everyone wants resolution and it's all about how we're going to get there. It does very much embody my practice."

Katie Jarvi knows that attorneys can provide a lot of help with only a little bit of effort. Jarvi, an attorney with Johnson/Turner Legal, has been a dedicated Legal Access Point (LAP) clinic volunteer. She is also the co-chair of the HCBA's Lawyer Referral and Information Service (LRIS) oversight committee.
All of her volunteer work relates to her favorite part of her job: talking to people. "I like sitting down and doing consultations and thinking about, how can we help you? How can we get you out of whatever situation you're in and into a better place? Sometimes it takes legal help to do that. Sometimes it is just talking to people and offering them non-legal options too. I really just enjoy getting to know people."
One of her most rewarding volunteer moments came when she helped a gentleman with a seemingly minor legal issue at a LAP clinic. The man spoke very little English and needed assistance with some documents. "It was such a significant barrier to him and he was really, really upset about it," she said. Jarvi was able to assist him and she remembers how happy he was after the issue was solved. "The look on that guy's face was pretty priceless."
Volunteering with LAP has exposed Jarvi to the issues surrounding access to justice. "You really see firsthand when you start volunteering with LAP or really any of these legal clinics what specifically those barriers are," she said. Those issues can be as minor as filling out the right form or finding an interpreter. "You almost don't realize how small those barriers are," she said.
And help from an attorney can mean all the difference. "They are able to do something they couldn't do before, and it changes their entire life," she said.
Another barrier that people don't often think about is the fear of actually talking to an attorney, and Jarvi is glad that LRIS is helping alleviate that. "Sometimes folks are scared to call an attorney's office. They don't know if they really have a legal issue or they don't know what the legal issue is. They know that something is wrong, but they don't really know how to ask for the help that they need," she said.
She said that LRIS is helping spread an important message: quality, affordable legal help is a realistic option for many people. "It's kind of a psychological barrier where people don't think that they can afford a good quality attorney. I think that it's important to spread that message to folks that you can."
Who would have thought that an attorney could help this much just by talking?
Sue Pontinen, the Executive Director at Volunteer Lawyers Network, has taken on a variety of challenges over her almost 18 years with the organization. They've involved things from assisting desperate clients to making tough decisions in order to ensure VLN remains in strong financial health for the future.
Pontinen became VLN's family law resource attorney in 2000. "The idea of being able to do that for a living and provide a service to people and be paid for it was kind of my dream job. I was fortunate enough to be in the right place at the right time," she said.
Some eye-opening experiences led her to a greater appreciation for legal services work. "The first time I went to the Family Law Clinic over at the Family Justice Center, all three clients that came in stymied me. There were fact situations that I had never heard of before and weren't presented by my paying clients. It was a humbling experience," she said.
Pontinen also realized that it wasn't just the work that was different, but the nature of the attorney-client relationship as well. On one occasion, a mother called from a payphone with her kids in tow, and she was in the midst of fleeing an abusive relationship.
"I made what I intended to be a comforting comment and I said, 'I know that must be so hard.' I'll never forget this, she said to me, 'You don't know. You have no idea. You have no idea how hard this is for me.' I was taken aback because at first, I thought I was providing comfort, but she was offended," said Pontinen. "It was a real learning experience for me because she was so right. I had no idea and never could or would. And that's a common experience for many of our clients."
That experience helped her realize that while the work was difficult, it was also extremely important. "I'm very admiring of the practitioners that take it upon themselves to really become experts in poverty law," she said.
Pontinen became VLN's deputy director in 2003, and the executive director in 2008. While she enjoyed the work, the organization was in "financial dire straits" "The challenges we were facing were so serious at the time," she said.
Focusing on the organization's financial health became a priority for Pontinen and the VLN leadership. After making some sacrifices and securing new funding, the organization is in excellent financial shape. "We were able to turn things around to the point today where we are very healthy financially," she said.
Over her career at VLN, Pontinen noted that she was very lucky to work with such a dedicated staff. "I just feel so fortunate that I have been able to work at this wonderful organization for 18 years and have the satisfaction of serving the community. I mean that from the bottom of my heart. I'm probably most grateful for that. But then also to work with a staff that does its job, not for the pay, but because they are really committed to helping others in the community less fortunate than themselves and our volunteers that give of themselves so selflessly," she said.
She also wanted to thank the numerous volunteers who have donated time and services to help clients. "It's a privilege to meet and work with people like that," she said.
As she moves into retirement mode in early 2018, she thinks VLN will continue to get better. "I see VLN getting better and continuing to be an innovative and groundbreaking organization. I think that what will be key to its growth is its community partnerships and serving our clients in their neighborhoods," she said.
Andrew Deutsch has a hard time explaining his job to his eight-year-old and six-year-old sons. "I say that I help people with their problems," he said. While that is at the heart of Deutsch's job responsibilities, it doesn't quite cover everything he does as senior counsel at OneBeacon Insurance Group.
Deutsch, the vice-chair of the HCBA Corporate Counsel Section, has found his niche as an in-house counsel after spending six years litigating at a law firm. "It was sort of a perfect circumstance to make that transition out of litigation, out of private practice, but still be able to do something that's related to insurance," he said.
As an in-house counsel, he helps OneBeacon draft insurance policies. Specifically, he works with technology-related businesses and he helps adjust their policies as new products come to market.
Working with internal clients has been a refreshing change of pace for Deutsch. "They run into issues where they have questions about what to do with a particular insurance coverage issue, or how to handle something that came up on an account that they are underwriting," he said. "Being able to work with them to come up with a solution is what I find fun."
Even though he admits he got into Corporate Counsel section leadership "by accident," he's helped revive the group after it was dormant for a number of years. He appreciates the different people he's met through the section. "It's a nice mix. You get to know lawyers who work in the area, but are in private practice and also other lawyers locally that are in-house," he said. Deutsch also noted that many other in-house counsel associations tend to be national in scope, so they do not address local issues as much.
Deutsch doesn't just make helping others part of his job, he's made it an integral part of being a lawyer. He has helped plan CLEs for the section, and he recently helped introduce law students to the HCBA as part of the University of Minnesota Law School "Meet the Bar Day" events.
"One of the ways that I get enjoyment out of being a lawyer is by being able to help other people, if it's through networking, mentoring, social outings, or putting on CLEs. I get a lot of enjoyment out of that and I think it's something we all can do as lawyers to benefit our fellow lawyers," he said.
Alecia Anderson came into one of her favorite service opportunities just by showing up. Through her volunteering as a guardian ad-litem, she came upon another opportunity that spoke to her. A few years ago, executive directors of the nonprofit organization Ampersand Families came and spoke to a group of guardians ad-litem. Anderson was intrigued, and she now serves on the board. She has become an advocate for the organization, which helps older youth in the foster care system find permanent homes.
Anderson described the problems facing the often overlooked demographic. She mentioned that about 1000 older youth in Minnesota are in the permanency stage at any one time. "These kids need permanent homes, but we as a society can't seem to find homes for them," she said.
Anderson's day job at Wells Fargo is vastly different than most of her volunteer work and she doesn't mind using two different aspects of her law degree in work and giving back. She would advise others to step out of their comfort zone when volunteering. "A lot of times you have skills and aren't necessarily sure how that would apply to some posting that you find. But if you reach out to some executive directors at small nonprofit organizations they will know best how to utilize you," she said.
Anderson's work with Ampersand Families is only one of her many roles with various local nonprofits. She also currently serves as treasurer of the Hennepin County Bar Foundation (HCBF).
After graduating law school, Anderson wanted more ways to connect with the local legal community. She was able to do that, and support different organizations, through her volunteering with the HCBF. "When I was looking at the grantees of the HCBF, there were a lot of organizations that I really respected and supported anyway, so I thought this was a really good way to support the organizations that I knew were doing work in our community and also get more involved in our legal community in general," she said.
Anderson's favorite part of foundation work is helping determine the grantees, "I think that's always the most fun part of the year," she said. "It's a really difficult day because you really have to narrow it down and say no a lot, but just knowing that these organizations are out there doing good and continuing to strive for that access to justice piece. That's really rewarding."
What's her advice to new lawyers looking to give back? Be sure to pay attention. "Take advantage of opportunities as they come. Just because professionally you can't pursue some passions doesn't mean that you can't find other ways. There's always going to be opportunities to find ways to develop your passions, whether that be through volunteer work or through board work or just giving money or your time," said Anderson.
Growing up in segregated Mississippi, Gloria Stamps-Smith learned the importance of helping out members of your community. "I didn't grow up in a place or time where you could just take care of your family. Family meant community," she said. Those values have stuck with Stamps-Smith throughout her life, and she continues to exemplify them here in Hennepin County.
Stamps-Smith, an attorney at the Hennepin County Attorney's Office, is the chair of the HCBA Diversity and Inclusion committee. Promoting diversity has always been important to Stamps-Smith. "It is important to me that we value each other's uniqueness. By engaging with each other, we earn an appreciation of our differences," she said.
Stamps-Smith also gives her time to a number of other organizations. She is a past president of the Minnesota Association of Black Lawyers. She also mentors law students, and advocates for women of color in the judiciary through her work with the Infinity Project. In addition, Stamps-Smith also spends countless hours volunteering in schools and in her church.
Her motivation to give back comes from thinking about the future. "The things that drive me are my children and my legacy. It's important to me that my children and young people, particularly African-American young people, see that there is value in giving back," she said.
Mentoring law students is a particular point of pride for Stamps-Smith. She beams while talking about seeing her mentees become successful lawyers, helping out a young lawyer hang their shingle, or speaking with a young woman who also attended a historically black college. (Stamps-Smith attended Jackson State University in Mississippi.)
She especially enjoys working with young people because she believes it's imperative for her as a successful, professional woman of color, to be seen in the community. "It's important that you're out there so young people can see that there are folks like them who can do everything they aspire to," she said.
While she has many avenues to give back through, Stamps-Smith chose to become more active in the HCBA about seven years ago. She described the HCBA as an "umbrella" organization that has brought many different organizations together. "You learn more about people by getting to know people. By isolating yourself, you don't give yourself an opportunity to see new ideas or expand beyond your bubble. I'm become very active and have gotten to know some really great people," she said.
In a legal world where attorneys always seem to be short on time, Stamps-Smith has advice on giving back. "You don't have to cast the net too far across the metro in order to find something that's important. They just have to look at themselves and where their value points lie and give back to that organization and that group," she said.
Stamps-Smith believes that giving back helps the entire legal community, "It's not just for you, it's for everybody else. It's for community. We all have an obligation. I strongly believe in the adage that service is a rent you pay for being part of this earth…You can just sit there and be a member if you want, but in order to be a true member you have to be engaged and you have to be willing to serve."
Early in his career, Mike Boulette questioned his decision to practice family law. "I spent the first few years of my practice with my head in my hands thinking, what kid grows up saying that they want to be a divorce lawyer? And now I'm a divorce lawyer—talk about societal unpopular roles," he said.
However, now after almost seven years as a lawyer, the Messerli & Kramer attorney has pretty much become the opposite of what he once had feared. He enthusiastically shares his insight for news stories on family law updates. He's worked on proposed family law legislation. He blogs at the website family-in-law.com and regularly speaks at CLEs and conferences. In short, he is happy to share his passion for practice.
What changed?
"I started thinking that it might not be the area of law, it might be how I'm viewing the area of law."His paradigm shift opened up a whole new way to think about family law. "I started thinking about family law not as the dregs of legal practice, but as a practice area that mattered in ways that some of the bigger, more flashy areas of the law might not...I could get behind that," he said.
Advice Boulette received from a mentor helped him make this adjustment, "Find what you like to do and slowly make it bigger."
In addition to writing and discussing areas of family law, one of Boulette's favorite parts of being a lawyer is teaching, "I really enjoy that pedagogical aspect of what I do. So, I'm going to try and find excuses to do that and do more of it. But I think that so many of us don't seek that out because we want someone to come find us and tell us that that's ok," he said.
Boulette noted that the HCBA is a great way to get involved with other things in your practice, "If you think there is important work to be done, the bar is happy to be a launch pad for you to go do it," he said.
Boulette first started showing up to New Lawyers Section meetings. His involvement gradually snowballed. He most recently served on the HCBA Finance and Planning Committee and was the HCBA New Lawyers Liaison to the MSBA.
This initiative has paid off for Boulette. He's a recognized name in the legal community, and he was recently awarded the Minnesota State Bar President's Award.
Sometimes success really does come down to doing what you love. "It's amazing how many opportunities pop up when you just go try things because you like them," he said.
One topic that comes up frequently when talking with Monte Miller is "service." Miller served his country while working on the U.S. Navy Judge Advocate General Corps over a military career that has spanned 24 years. He currently works in public service as a prosecutor for the Hennepin County Attorney's Office. He also serves the legal community by representing the Minnesota Asian Pacific American Bar Association on the HCBA Board of Directors.
After law school, working for a law firm didn't appeal to Miller. After clerking for the Honorable Mary Louis Klas, in Ramsey County District Court, he wanted to get more experience in the courtroom. A few attorneys recommended that he look into the Judge Advocate General (JAG) program—the legal department of the different service branches.
"It sort of fed into my strong desire to serve. I always felt like I missed the boat in high school, so I didn't enlist. Then I didn't really know a lot about the military and then when I looked into it I saw that it was an opportunity for me to get some experience, leave Minnesota, go out on my own and travel, and serve my country," said Miller.
Miller ended up traveling all over the world and working on a variety of cases over his eight years on active duty. "You'd get a phone call and they'd say they needed a defense lawyer on the USS America. You'd show up at the terminal and they'd land you on the carrier. And you'd meet your client, do your investigation and figure out what was going on. That was the good thing about the military, everything was contained so all the witnesses were there unless it was something that happened out in town," said Miller. He also later worked at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, and as an appellate judge on the Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals.
Wanting to settle down, Miller looked for a public attorney job back in Minnesota. Eventually, he got a job with the Hennepin county attorney's office after Amy Klobuchar gave him a call.
About a decade ago, Miller wanted to get more involved with his heritage. A Korean-American, Miller got involved with the Minnesota Asian Pacific Bar Association (MNAPBA). There was an opening for a board representative to the HCBA and Miller took the opportunity. "I feel like I'm contributing the community and my job," he said.
Miller believes that public service is an essential part of the legal field, even if it is usually overlooked. "You have to look inside yourself and ask, what's going to make your tank full as far as contributing? What I would say is that public service is something that you get great satisfaction out of because you know the work that you do is making the community safer and better."
Jayne Sykora had no idea she was being so brave. After graduating from law school in 2009, Sykora and her law partner, Jen Santini, started their own firm, Sykora & Santini. Fellow attorneys commended them for taking a risk at the height of the financial crisis. "At the time we didn't understand what that meant because we didn't have much of a legitimate choice," said Sykora. The risk paid off. Their firm is now coming up on its seventh anniversary.
This success did not happen instantly. Sykora and Santini took a methodical approach to building their practice. And it wasn't always glamorous. They forced themselves to do the banal parts of building a practice, like writing a business plan. "I remember that being really painful at the time, but what else did we have to do?" said Sykora. "I think that helped. Since we have been a partnership from the get-go, it forced us to articulate and write down what it is that we want and what we are looking for as our practice has grown."
Attending law school in Nebraska put Sykora in a different position than most of the law school graduates in the Twin Cities. Volunteering with the Hennepin County Bar Association gave Sykora the connections that may come easier for Twin Cities law school grads. "The connections that we've made and the opportunities that we've been given would never have happened if not for our involvement in the bar association. I think also just understanding how the legal community works is really helpful," she said.
Getting involved with the HCBA also gave Sykora some convenient opportunities to market herself and her skills. Through her work as the New Lawyers Section social director, she helped develop the HCBA sponsorship program. "Other attorneys said that they had seen my involvement and wanted us to continue. I think that helped kind of build our reputations even though people didn't know what we would do legally," she said. After serving for three years with the New Lawyers Section, Sykora now serves on the Hennepin County Bar Foundation board of directors.
The connections have translated into business success. "Our involvement in the bar association has been really great for the growth of our business and the growth of our reputations as a whole," said Sykora.
Sykora recommends that new attorneys put themselves in a position to be successful, "If you just chalk it up to be like 'Oh bar association dues are so expensive' you're just not taking advantage of what there is here to learn and benefit from and to make really great connections that are going to be helpful in your practice."
Dan Gilchrist made the best decision of his life last year. He started his own firm. After two decades in finance and at a private firm, he wanted to run his own show. "I've always had an entrepreneurial bent to me, so it was not a big leap," he said. Gilchrist relished the ability to serve his clients better, and he is excited to have more flexibility for family time.
Gilchrist's advice for those wanting to hang their shingle is simple: learn to do it all. "You've got to be able to do all the work yourself," he said. He noted that having a support system is also important for a solo practitioner.
One way that Gilchrist developed a support system for himself was through his involvement with various bar associations. After passing the bar, he joined the Minnesota State Bar New Lawyers Section, and he eventually chaired the section. "I can't tell you how invaluable that was to me because I met dozens and dozens of lawyers in my first four years of practice, outside of my firm. I still know these folks and value our relationships," he said.
About seven years ago, Gilchrist decided to focus his involvement with the HCBA. He joined various groups and committees and he eventually joined the board. "It's been a great experience learning what other lawyers do, knowing them, and meeting with them regularly. I hope I can help other people, too, along the way," he said.

Google recently came out with an android app called Google Goggles. Basically, if you want to do a search for something, all you need to do is take a picture of it. I tested it out for a couple of days and it knew a majority of the things that I scanned. The store search is pretty cool but I don't think it will be extremely useful unless you live in or are visiting a city. Here is the video by google themselves, enjoy...

Chapters 4 to 8 concentrate on the opening of the Seven Seals.
Now in the olden days, things were written on scrolls, pieces of paper which were rolled up.
Sometimes these scrolls would be sealed, typically with a wax seal. They'd light a candle and drop some wax onto the scroll which would cool down and form a seal. They'd even imprint the seal with a stamp, leaving an imprint on the wax which served as an indicator as to whom the letter or scroll came from.
What is interesting about the scroll is
- who held it – the One upon the heavenly Throne
- who was able to open it – the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, a Lamb
Whenever the scroll was progressively opened – through the breaking of one of the seven seals, an event would occur. Some of those events could be categorized as a judgment from God.
The First Seal
When the first seal was opened, a white horse came forth with a rider holding a bow and given a crown. He rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.
This is suggestive of wars.When we look at the written history of mankind, the first world war (WW I)marked a shift in the level of warfare and conflict. This was both in terms of the ferocity of war as well as the coverage of the conflict. If not the first world war, definitely the second world war can be classified as a global conflict (WW II).
The Second Seal
Upon opening the second seal, a fiery red horse emerged, given the power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other.
Is this a repeat of the first event?
I do not believe so. In my mind, this is referring to a breakout of localised conflict and global terrorism. In this case, we are not talking about a land grab or a resources grab by world powers.
We are talking about the conflict in Somalia, genocide in Rwanda, the former Northern Ireland situation, etc. Civil wars and unrests such as the Arab Spring.
The Third Seal
The third horse is black, with a rider carrying a set of scales. The scales are not eh scales of justice as we are talking more about the scales of commerce.
This is borne out by what the Living Creature says, "Two pounds of wheat for a day's wages, and six pounds of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!"
This in reference to inflation in the price of food.
If we assume an average annual salary of A$60,000, divide by 360 days, gives you A$166 per day. 6 pounds of barley is approximately 2.72kg. This translates to about A$60 per kg.
Checking Woolworths, Goodness Superfood Wraps Wholegrain Barley is selling for A$2.22 per 100g. Or A$22 per kg, which is 1/3 the price of what is described in the Bible.
If you see food inflation running at several times normal, you know it's a bad sign…
The Fourth Seal
The opening of the fourth seal releases Death riding on a pale horse. Hades is riding close behind him. I'd suggest that this indicative of the figurative language used in the book of Revelation.
The main takeaway I have is that a quarter of the world will perish through the sword (violence), famine (starvation, lack of resources) and plague (disease).
To be continued…

I just received this email....I know you are probably wondering why I live in Florida and am getting emails about a Jersey scrapbooking store....
I do live in Florida but travel to Philadelphia because my daughter's medical team is at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia...(I can go on and on about how amazing this hospital is but this post is about scrapbooking!).

9 reviews for Honey Blossom+Marshmallow Root Gentle Shampoo
I switched to natural beauty products after being diagnosed with cancer several years ago, but never found hair care that I truly loved. Most shampoos make my hair feel like wet straw until I use conditioner. This is the first shampoo that didn't do that! This leaves my hair shiny, soft, and so manageable without being greasy or weighing my hair down. I'm a customer for life.
I stayed at the Equinox Spa and Resort, where the spa manager had given me a care package of the Honey Blossom line. I was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. She had thought your product would be a good fit for me.
The moment I used it I felt my dry chemically damaged hair soften, and the beautiful aroma enveloped me. It made me forget all of the treatments I am undergoing, all of the side effects. It was a welcomes respite.
Thank you for creating this product. I was hoping that you make trial sizes , so I can try other products. Please let me know.
Do you make something that would be cooling? The medications always make me uncomfortably hot, not to mention severe dry skin all of the time. Hopefully you can help.
I love your products thus far, I have let all of my friends and family know about your product.
With much love and respect,
Nicole May (my friends call me Nikki)
My new favorite shampoo! I cannot wait to try other products from Flourish. I have been battling hair fall out from medications and after a year of trying other organic/natural shampoos, this one makes my hair look and feel the best! So thankful to have found this company.
My sister and I both adore this shampoo and the matching curling creme. She has curly/wavy hair and I have coarse curls; it makes our hair softer, curlier, and more manageable.
I wanted to love this shampoo so badly, I tried every which-way to make it work but time after time my hair didn't get clean. I would use more shampoo and sometimes I would pile it on but my hair was always greasy every time I got out of the shower and dried my hair. I love what this company stands for and I'm so appreciative of their clean products, sadly they just don't work for me. For reference I have fine, blonde hair.
I love this shampoo so much. It's a nice light, pretty scent and it leaves me hair feeling amazing. I've looked for so long for a natural shampoo that leaves my hair feeling clean and this is the first I've found that doesn't weigh my hair down.
Seriously one of the best shampoos I have ever tried ! Makes my hair so soft and bouncy. Love!

Over the past few days I've been having a massive sort out of my hard drives (basically clearing everything down so boring!!!) but discovered some old photographs that I took ages ago so I thought I would re-edit them and share them.
These are from when I visited Covent Garden in London at various times some were taken for my second year assignment (I think it was second year which feels like a million years ago!) and some where just from when I visited on trips to London. Either way I quite like these photos and it was from when I was first getting interested in performance and theatre.
I prefer most of these images in black and white for some reason a rarity for me as the majority of my work is in colour!
I might post blogs with some of my seaside work that I did and maybe a few other photos from my past if anyone is interested?

Hi all,
In my school's solution, the administrators want a place to evaluate teachers and record a score. They want a school-wide average of all those scores. This is built just fine, with lots of tweaking here and there.
I have a screen that they can visit all of their teacher's scores in a portal. The table is the school table, each record a different school, and the portal shows the calc fields for the evaluating system. Since, as i believe, calc fields do their work when called upon in another field or on screen, i wonder if having 30 teachers and their 6 calc (unstored) fields showing their average scores in dfferent categories, will slow down the database too much?
So I'd like to know:
When you do show a screen of the most current up-to-date info, do you use the live calc fields on the screen? Or do you set up a matching static field for each calc field and have an 'update' button that transfers the data from the calc field into a static field?
Maybe these static fields would be in a new table, and every time i press an update button, it creates a new record in the new table (EvaluationsUpdate) and posts that on the screen for all to see. Programmatically that seems a lot of work, taking the data from the calc fields and put them into a new table, but that seems to be a solution to what i wonder will be a slow down to the system.
When showing a report of fields calculated by changing info in the database, are they usually the live calc fields or something else?

It doesn't seem like four years ago when the Eagles met the Ravens at Baltimore. It was the last of a miserable three week period. After going 5-3 at mid-season, the roof fell in. On a Sunday night at home, the Philadelphia Eagles lost to the New York Giants 36 to 31. A week later at Cincinnati, Andy Reid settled for a field goal on short yardage at the Bengal 15. David Ackers booted it through but there was no comfort in the 13 all tie with the woeful Bengals.
At Baltimore, the Ravens destroyed the Eagles 36 to 7. Coach Reid pulled Donovan McNabb out after a horrible first half. Quintin Demps returned a kickoff for a touchdown just before halftime and the Eagles trailed only 10 to 7. Kevin Kolb played played the second half and, as the final scored showed, he was even worse. Philadelphia fell to 5-5-1 and we thought they were out. They came back to within one series of the Super Bowl.
This Sunday's game will be a real test of how good the Eagles are. A route this time would really raise some doubts.

Forum Watch Editorial
By. Neil Williamson
Crisis may be the most overused word in today's lexicon. While the financial situation on a local, regional, national and international level is dire and troubling, too many of us hear the word crisis and only think of the challenges this word represents.
One man who knew a great deal about crisis management, President John F. Kennedy said:
"When written in Chinese, the word 'crisis' is composed of two characters. One represents danger and the other represents opportunity."
On Monday (2/23), The Daily Progress ran a front page story by Scott Shenk outlining Albemarle County Police Department's cut of $2,164 in a departmental budget of $12.578 million dollars. While the story indicated an organizational understanding of Albemarle County's fiscal position, The department highlighted the impact of the proposed cut:
"There's no new initiatives," said Lt. Todd Hopwood. "And there's no new positions. … We've cut back a lot of our positions." The tight budget also affects training — to the point, Hopwood said, that the department is "counting bullets."
These dark economic times are hitting local governments all over the Commonwealth. According to the Washington Post Fairfax County leaders are seeking to close a $650 Million dollar hole in their $3.2 Billion dollar budget. Fairfax, with a population of over 1 million residents, announced their proposed budget yesterday. The Washington Post has the story:
The loss of property tax revenue prompted Fairfax officials to propose a hefty binder's worth of cuts, a 13.5-cent property tax increase and the elimination of more than 800 jobs…..
Early on in this budget cycle, I was speaking with a high level local government official regarding the challenging budget year ahead. This official perhaps captured the spirit of President Kennedy's quote. Rather than speaking of the challenges ahead, this official said,
The economic crisis is allowing, perhaps requiring, us to bring forward innovative concepts, radical reorganization organizational plans and cost cutting ideas that would have been rejected as non starters in other, more generous budget cycles
To be clear, the Free Enterprise Forum never weighs in regarding an appropriate tax rate or appropriate government spending rate for any locality. We do track and report locality spending in our quantitative Local Government Spending Index (LGSI) but we make no qualitative assessment of local government spending.
With that disclaimer, we believe that all localities should work harder to add sunlight to their budget processes. As one who has sat through hours of budget workshops in a multitude of localities, the work can be most tedious.
It would be most helpful for the public to have a firm understanding of the philosophy of each of the decision makers as they examine the spending proposals. Then, the public can better understand the context under which the decisions being made.
The Free Enterprise Forum applauds the many town hall meetings scheduled in some of the localities. Such meetings will promote transparency and minimize misunderstanding.
When a publicly funded budget is vetted in the glare of citizen sunlight, the result will be a budget that addresses both the danger and the opportunities this current crisis presents.

Universal has just revealed that the ninth and penultimate installment in the ever-popular The Fast and the Furious series will be delayed to April 10, 2020.
The Hollywood Reporter has learned that the ninth movie in the oddly-titled Furious series is being pushed a year back. While it was announced a year ago that the ninth movie was going to be released on April 19, 2019 and the tenth (and final) movie would hit about two years later, it's just been learned that Universal wants an extra year to work on the ninth Furious movie.
The delay shouldn't be too surprising, given that there have been reports of some bad blood between Vin Diesel and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson during filming of The Fate of the Furious, Tyrese Gibson has reservations about the spin-off, and not that long ago, Michelle Rodriguez voiced concerns that women in the series were being marginalized (which also hints at some tension). There's no doubt that the movie is still going to happen, but it's probably for the best that Universal irons out any issues between the cast and crew before going forward with two – possibly three, depending on if the planned spin-off is made – more movies.
In other news for Universal's slate, Trolls 2 is eyeing a February 14, 2020 release date with Trolls director Walt Dohrn returning. The animated picture is being handled by DreamWorks.
Fast and Furious 9 will be released on April 10, 2020. Should Fast and Furious 10 keep its current release date, then it will be released on April 2, 2021. Vin Diesel is set to reprise his role as Dominic "Dom" Toretto for both films.
In addition, a spin-off with the characters of Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) and Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) is also being planned, though a release date has not been scheduled.

5 Best Sequences In 'The Fast And The Furious' Films
The Fast and the Furious franchise has been producing hit sequel after hit sequel over the last several years. This is in part due to the tonal shift of the franchise from less of a dramatic street racing series to that of a ridiculously large-scale action series, which has done wonders for its continued success. The franchise has used big spectacle sequences to really sell their films and to entertain their audiences since the beginning. The eighth film The Fate of the Furious is hitting theaters this weekend and it's bound to make even more waves with its special brand of ridiculous action and a memorable set piece or two. With this film set to take off it is a good opportunity to look back at the previous entries in the series and see which sequences stand out the most.
Here are the 5 best sequences in 'the Fast and the Furious' films. Click Next to continue.

The warrants have no telephone numbers on them so there was no way Elizabeth D Benton, Code Compliance Coordinator/ Inspector for City of Greensboro and her staff of building code inspectors could have called Heritage House residents to inform them of the inspections. The City has not provided records of which residents were home and which residents were away from home. My team is betting they kept no such records as the bungled the entire inspection.
Every warrant clearly states they must make reasonable efforts to contact the owner or resident of the unit. The fact that they inspected 177 units plus common areas in 6 hours with a staff of about 6 code enforcement inspectors pretty much blows that possibility out of the water. As a matter of fact: according to the times on the warrants, the entire building, all 177 units plus commons areas were inspected between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM. You can bet inspectors made no efforts to contact any of the residents or owners.
Greensboro Police were on duty there to see that the inspections were done safely and that code enforcement officers were not threatened or assaulted but police are not qualified or trained to do building inspections in North Carolina. Only NC State licensed building inspectors can deem a home unsafe to live in. Having cops do building inspections would be tantamount to having building inspectors writing speeding tickets.
And remember: they had to break in and then relock any unit where no one was home. Police officers aren't allowed to posses lock picks or other burglary tools-- their specialty is knocking doors down-- are code enforcement officers allowed to possess lock picks and burglary tools?
We're not talking about a drug bust where residents might flush drugs down the drains to avoid arrest. As a matter of fact there have been zero media reports of any crimes being committed. One family was harassed by Greensboro Police for having a gun inside their home but as it turned out they had papers from where they had purchased their gun legally and were allowed to keep it. (That brings up even more questions as to how and why this so-called "building inspection" was being conducted.)
I know of one unit that was empty, currently being remodeled, not available for rent and was inspected while its owner was at home in another unit at Heritage House but that owner was not made aware of the inspection until over an hour later when the unit the owner lived in was inspected. The unit in question had received much damage from a previous renter and was completely unlivable, thus the reason the owner wasn't renting it. So the City of Greensboro punishes the owner for doing the right thing by declaring the unit and the owner's residence unfit to life in and seizing the property without taking anyone to court? For trying to fix the unit before it's rented again? This isn't an Irving Park slum lord, this person lived at Heritage House too!
The City of Greensboro wants you to believe that everyone who lived at Heritage House was paying rent and a victim of slum lords. There's 2 problems with that story: the majority of the actual slum lords are Greensboro's elite residents of North Carolina's most exclusive neighborhood, Irving Park. And the other problem is that quite a few of the residents of Heritage House actually owned and held deeds to the properties they lived in.
Then there's the issue of probable cause. From NC § 15-27.2. Warrants to conduct inspections authorized by law.
"(1) The one seeking the warrant must establish under oath or affirmation that the property to be searched or inspected is to be searched or inspected as part of a legally authorized program of inspection which naturally includes that property, or that there is probable cause for believing that there is a condition, object, activity or circumstance which legally justifies such a search or inspection of that property;"
Would your next door neighbor's house being not up to code be considered probable cause for ordering an inspection on your house? Two condos in the same building aren't naturally included as one when they belong to two separate owners with two separate deeds. I don't believe anyone reading this would try to support that argument and yet this is the argument the City of Greensboro is expecting you to believe as their excuse for searching every single privately owned home in Heritage House. Were the Code inspections department to even attempt to get a warrant to inspect any regular neighborhood in this manner the magistrate or judge would have them removed from his office.
Would your next door neighbor being a drug dealer be probable cause to search your house? The answer is the same. Heritage House is a neighborhood with individually owned homes and common areas (halls, elevators, pavilions) just like other Greensboro neighborhoods have common areas in streets and parks. The only difference is Heritage House shared a common roof and when it comes to what defines a neighborhood, the word 'roof' cannot be found in the definition:
"1. the area or region around or near some place or thing; vicinity: the kids of the neighborhood; located in the neighborhood of Jackson and Vine streets.
2. a district or locality, often with reference to its character or inhabitants: a fashionable neighborhood; to move to a nicer neighborhood.
3. a number of persons living near one another or in a particular locality: The whole neighborhood was there.
4. neighborly feeling or conduct.
5. nearness; proximity: to sense the neighborhood of trouble. "
The City of Greensboro trampled all over the Constitutional Rights of the residents and owners of Heritage House. Charles Coffey, Sonny Vestal and the Heritage House Homeowners Association robbed these people. Now the City of Greensboro is trying to cover for them. If you own property at Heritage House no matter where you live now, you may file charges online by clicking here. You don't have to live in Greensboro to use it.
Don't worry if you do it wrong, it can be fixed. The problem is the Greensboro Police Department has told sources of mine that no victims have stepped forward to press charges so supposedly they can't investigate for any crime. They have told News & Record reporters that there is currently no ongoing investigation into the events at Heritage House. Of course we all know police investigate without complaints all the time but this is their lame ass excuse so don't allow them that excuse. Then save the automatically generated return e-mail and use it to sue the hell out of the City of Greensboro if they blow you off.
And if you want to you can forward the automatic generated response to email@example.com@gmail.com and I'll share it with the world to prove you filed a complaint.
It doesn't matter if you lived at Heritage House or not. If you were a property owner paying your dues to the HOA then you got ripped off by Charles Coffey, Nina Coffey, Sonny Vestal and the Heritage House board of directors-- filing a criminal complaint is the first step in getting your money and possibly your property back.
Locally all the blame is attempting to be placed on Sonny Vestal but even if Vestal is convicted of operating without a license, the N.C. Real Estate Commission only has the power to close his real estate business. They can neither get back your money or your homes. As a matter of fact: they caught him before and he simply changed the name of his business. It is the duty of any board to watch over the investments of its members and if the board neglects its duty then the board is culpable. Putting it nicely, Charles, Nina and the rest of the board obviously failed to look after member investments. It's called gross negligence.
And again, to file a complaint against the City of Greensboro please use this form at the American Civil Liberties Union.
Please share this post with everyone you know.

The Spirit and Mindset of an Entrepreneur
Do you have an entrepreneurial spirit and mindset? Some people are born with it. Many acquire it through experience and exposure. Others wish for it. Some are unsure whether they have it or not.
Are you an idea person?
Is your mind racing with ideas? When you see a problem, is it common for you to begin visualizing a solution? Are you driven by what can be done, even when others say it can't be done? Are you passionate, purposeful, and persistent in your actions?
In my last blog, I wrote about the habits of a successful entrepreneur. Now, and over the next several publications, I will provide deeper insights into the character and mindset that leads to entrepreneurial success. Problem-solving is one in the series of posts.
Problem-solving can be instinctive.
Successful entrepreneurs have to be good listeners, observers, and critical thinkers.
Why? It is because they listen for understanding. This "solution-driven mindset" becomes instinctive.
"We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them."
– Albert Einstein
Here's an example of what I mean by instinctive:
My son said to me the other day, "Mom, when I tell you about a problem, you always think there is a solution." However, in this particular situation, he didn't want a solution. He just wanted to vent. I decided to drop what I was doing and give my undivided attention to hear this 23-year-old out. I heard the what and why of his situation, but I had to resolve myself to turning off any notion of giving him any viable input toward a solution. So, I listened only for the purpose of being his sounding board. For now, I concluded, that was the solution he needed. I knew he would recognize his next best step whenever he was ready to acknowledge it and move forward. This situation reminded of other experiences with people who were faced with problems, asking for help, but not really seeking a solution to their problem; they are fine just where they are -- at least for the moment. They remain there because it provides them refuge and an excuse. They're not ready for a change. But when they are, they know where to find it.
We, entrepreneurs, are problem solvers who meet needs when people are seeking or ready for a solution. Some people say entrepreneurs are born; others say it can be learned. I say it's both. If you have a mindset to create or find solutions, entrepreneurship may be on your horizon.
Here's a great article: Don't Just Start a Business, Solve a Problem

Don't worry! I haven't complicated our already crazy lives with a real puppy! Lately, when playing outside in our front yard, Peekaboo has been barking and howling at people on the street! I kid you not, she runs over to the fence, stands on the lower beam, and barks at people as they walk past our yard...Yep. She does.
She has been getting some fairly strange looks from those on the receiving end of her 'attacks', but...whatever! At least I am keeping my dog secured, in my yard!
It is pretty funny! I took a little video, but this impossibly unpredictable blog site won't let me upload it....Check it out on my Dropshots page www.dropshots.com/tiggertim

for a wintry mix,
but if I close my eyes
and fantasize...
I can see the blue ocean,
feel the sand between my toes
and the heat of the morning sun.
I can taste the salty water,
hear the rolling waves
and the cries of the seagulls.
If you look for me
and cannot find
I'll be at the beach
in my mind.

OLYMPIC UPDATE / A dream come true, and a lesson / Nnamani grew up fast in Athens
She's a senior leader now, someone who has been to the Olympic Games, so when Ogonna Nnamani talks, her Stanford volleyball teammates listen.
That was particularly true after a Cardinal loss to USC earlier this year, when Nnamani told those teammates she was worried because they looked scared on the court. And then she brought up her own experience with fear, and how she dealt with it.
Her younger sister Njideka, who's also on the Stanford squad, came up to her after hearing the impromptu oration and said, "Where did you get that, off the Internet?"
Nnamani smiled one of those light-up-a-room smiles at the recollection, and said, "I was just kind of speaking from my heart, but it was a different team, within 24 hours. It's crazy how things work."
Nnamani, at 20, was the youngest player on the U.S. women's volleyball team during the run-up to Athens, and, as such, had to battle a crisis of confidence early in training.
She was a role player, struggling at first to make the Olympic team, not a star as she has been at Stanford, and she was well aware of that.
"There was a time about the end of April when I knew I had to step up my game," she said. "My roommate and I popped in a tape of Mireya Luis of Cuba, the greatest player ever in women's volleyball, doing some amazing things. When I went to the gym after that, I pretended to be Mireya Luis.
"But the real change started for me the first week in June, in a match against Japan in Montreal. That was a do-or-die point for me. I looked into the stands and saw Mireya Luis, and I told myself, 'I have to be Mireya Luis.' That changed me.
"After the match, I went up and talked to her, and she signed my notebook and gave me some tips. I've seen her dominate the game over the years, so her presence was so helpful to me at an important time. I realized that even if I came in as a sub in the late part of a game, I had to believe that I could be the best person on the court at that moment."
The change in mentality, Nnamani said, led her to become an aggressive force on the court, the fear gone, the doubt quelled.
"I don't put too much pressure on myself now," she said. "It's all about mental conditioning. I set my mind free and go out and play. I feel so much more at ease now. I leave the court in peace."
Nnamani conceded that the transition from Olympian to college student hasn't been quite as easy.
"I love to write, and I wrote a journal for my hometown newspaper (in Normal, Ill.) throughout the Olympics," she said. "But the other day I had to finish a paper for a class, and writing an academic paper again was, well, interesting.
"I'm trying to get back into it, but I have a class with Tony Azevedo (an Olympic water polo player), and I said to him a few days ago, 'Isn't it weird being here?' "
Nnamani loved her time in Athens.
"My favorite memory is the opening ceremony," she said, "when we came through the tunnel into the stadium and they called out our names and we all marched out with the lights flashing. That was one of the best feelings a human being could feel -- a crazy rush of emotions.
"It still hasn't really sunk in. I remember back in 1988 watching Jackie Joyner-Kersee compete and day-dreaming about what it would be like to compete in the Olympics. When I finally got the chance to do that, I flashed back to all the things my family and I had been through to get to this point, like waking up at 5 in the morning to drive to Chicago for club tournaments."
Nnamani's immediate goal now is to help get Stanford back into the NCAA tournament. The team's final regular-season home game is Tuesday against Santa Clara at 7 p.m.
"Every time I step on the court, I work hard to do what I can to help the team," she said. "That's my engine."
She's also working toward a degree in human biology, which she expects to get next fall, and is thinking about medical school at some point, and at a location to be determined, after that.
But her Olympic dreams are still very much alive.
"After the experience this summer, playing at such a high level, well, that was such a thrill it just makes me want to keep competing for my country, " she said. "I understand why so many of the veterans come back and play for the United States. It becomes addictive. So, as long as my body holds up, I'll probably keep playing."
Even with the rigorous demands of medical school?
"A guy on the men's water polo team, Omar Amr, traveled with the U.S. national and Olympic teams while he was taking correspondence courses from Harvard medical school," she said. "He's shown it's not impossible."
Nnamani now believes just about anything is possible. Thanks to that new mind set, and a little help from Mireya Luis.

Peeing in a rush
Yes, I'm crazy, but if I can't talk about it on Tea & Such, where can I talk about it...
And these are rhetorical questions ok...
10. Do you have friends and co-workers you ONLY see in the bathroom? Your offices aren't near, you don't work on any teams together, but you all seem to be in the bathroom at the same exact time every day.
9. Do you discriminate against co-workers that don't wash their hands in the bathroom? You're like "You know, I don't really want her on my team. I've noticed she isn't extremely thorough."
8. Have you ever taken a nap in the stall at work? My boy at Project Fresh wrote about this, Pure hilarity!
7. Do you ever go to the bathroom to waste time? You're like I COULD work on this project... or I could go to the bathroom... imma go to the bathroom. LOL!
6. On the other hand, when you're really busy, do you forget to go to the bathroom? You're in the hallway on your way there and remember you need to e-mail or fax something or make a call. Then you're like what was I SUPPOSED to be doing. It's a shame when you have to put bathroom breaks on your to-do list. Ah... client services.
5. Have you ever gone to the bathroom just to scratch a mosquito bite? Every time I go on vacation I come back to work with some mosquito bites on my thighs that I can't quite get to in my office... I'm not scratching my goodies, but it'd appear that I was, so I just have to to the bathroom to get it done... Yah well...
4. We were out to dinner discussing how good Fiber One cereal tastes (I know, I know, we come with the HOT TOPICS, lol) and one of my co-workers was like "yeah, but doesn't that make you have to GO at work?" And I'm like *eyebrow raised* "you don't GO at work?" I spend 10-12 hours of every Monday through Friday at work. WHY would I torture myself and wait until I get home to let the inevitable happen...
3. On that same note, does your place of work have a special stall? At my office there is one toilet stall that's specifically dedicated to well... #2. It's understood when you go into THAT stall what's about to happen. When you're IN that stall, you see people come into the bathroom, make a bee line to that stall and when they notice you're in there they leave out, go get another cup of coffee and come back. Only people who work at my job can attest to how ridiculously funny this is.
2. Keeping in line with this topic, do you put that liner in the toilet before you go to prevent um... bathroom noise? If not, try it... works like a dream. We need to get some elevator music in there, for real. I'm gonna make myself useful and put that in the suggestion box.
1. Now that we've got the big ish out of the way... do your co-workers pee in a rush? I swear I must have too many buttons on my skirts or zippers and belts on my pants or something, but almost daily someone will come in the bathroom after I come in, pee, wash their hands and be back out before I've even lined the seat. And let's be for real, if they move that quick, they're just wrenchin' their hands, which brings me back to number 9.
We're all in a rush at my job, but damn, some things you need to take your time for.

Man I miss BCBS... I would go down to the 4th Floor (I worked on 6) and that was the mega bathroom with with 10 stalls and 10 urinals. I'd get in there a take a quick nap. To Cover my ass I'd put a meeting on my schedule. My boss was cool and never questioned me once. One day I downloaded the wire season finale and didn't finish the episode on the train... Well I finished watching it in the bathroom. Good times!
Not as personal as I expected but... Hey...

MAN...I found the 'executive bathroom' at the job...it's just one stall and sink all by itself over in the exec. corner. HEAVEN!
- October 9, 2008 at 3:49 PM

Ha, we have an Executive Floor on 15 at BCBS. Rich Mahogany, leather bound books. It looks like Eddie Murphy's bathroom from Coming to America... MAN!!!

Dead @ tattootuesday. Watching the Wire in the WC? Classic!

lmao this post has me laughing out loud in my bed when i should be trying to get some sleep! lol. hilarious. and whenever i see someone not was their hands or 'swish' it under the water (it barely even gets wet) i'm always a bit disgusted and cautious when i see them outside the bathroom..
- October 10, 2008 at 12:55 AM
- Brown Girl Gumbo said...
Funniest post yet!! I love it!!!
I remember at my old job, I would use this abandoned floor to "handle my business." it was so scary because the floor was completely empty.
- October 10, 2008 at 12:57 PM
- brightstarr said...
LOL! I'm SO anti-#2 at work, but if sometimes it just cannot be stopped. Unfortunate, but true. But I have been known to drive home to handle my bizness every now and then.
- October 13, 2008 at 12:18 PM
- Beautiful said...
Yes...I use to love to walk off my unit, find a bathroom and take a 15 minute nap. For all they knew I was having issues.

Fall Regional Competition Winners
This post is to show the images that received merits in the Regional Competition held last October in Texas. Most images in regional competitions do not merit. I was so excited to have two of mine merit. I will now send them on to the International competition this Summer. I am excited because they have a pre-approval at the international level. This is important because each of these is a big step toward my Master of Photography degree awarded by the PPofA.
3 comments:
So happy for you! I have never seen the first one before... STUNNING! What were your titles? I didn't merit one image, so I have much work cut out for me this year.ReplyDelete
Kris, Thank you for the comment. The first one was from the same photo shoot when I photographed the girl in the green dress. This was another image I enjoyed, so I decided to enter it. I will probably enter it in the IPPA competition. I named it "Discheveled Dream"ReplyDelete
I just read that if you receive a merit at a regional competition that you cannot enter it at IPPA. I guess I won't be entering either of these.ReplyDelete
