I was horrified to read in the Aug. 5, 2009, Courier-Herald the city was planning on raising our sewer rates by 50 percent or more. This is on top of the solid waste rates increasing as I mentioned in my letter to the editor dated July 8, 2009. At the city council meeting on July 27, the public works department stated they wanted to purchase two new cars. If there is such a need to increase our rates, especially so drastically, why is the city contemplating purchasing new cars, remodeling conference rooms and changing logos? (The cost of changing the logo on city vehicles, stationery, etc., is going to be very expensive). The tax/rate payers are being asked to shoulder heavy burdens already in our poor economy, why add to the burden unnecessarily? Determine what is an absolute necessity and shelve all others until our economy turns around. In our own personal budgets, we have to differentiate between needs and wants; why shouldn't we expect our city to do the same?
On another note, city employees aren't allowed to talk about issues with the public for fear of repercussions from the top. Don't we taxpayers have a right to ask for accountability?
When is this foolishness going to stop?

Commotion about camp counselors good
I wanted to let the community know how wonderful the camp counselors are at Camp Commotion through Parks and Recreation.
The counselors being young students is very impressive. They have a variety of kids and seeing how they handle themselves and each situation that may arise with the kids is amazing. They have even helped me with advice and suggestions.
My son loves camp, this is his second year. He gets upset with me when I come and pick him up too early. He says he wants to stay longer. He just doesn't want to leave. He has so much fun.
Once or twice a week the go on a field trip, they go to the pool, they are playing games, playing in the water, barbecues, movies, art, singing, all kinds of activities. They wear the kids out. I would be worn out.
Times are hard, but this is one thing I will come up with the money for camp.
I have a lot of confidence in these students-camp counselors with my son.
I want to say thank you so very much for being wonderful, great students in our community.

Fewer guns still equals fewer deaths
Mr. Thomansson, you say "nothing has changed in the radical left since I bought my first handgun in the 1960s," implying we anti-gun people are loonies. Sir, if we had enough actual guts here in the Weenie Party, we may have been able to prevent the assassination of JFK, his brother RFK, MLK, Malcolm X, and the attempted assassination of The Gipper. Also, according to the Centers for Disease Control, in 2006, there were 30,896 gun deaths in the U.S.: 12,791 homicides (41 percent of total deaths), 16,883 suicides (55 percent of total deaths), 642 unintentional shootings (2 percent of total deaths), 360 from legal intervention (1.2 percent of total deaths) and 220 from undetermined intent (.8 percent of total deaths).
This is only the deaths and does not include the much larger figure for those "just" injured. Sir, we still mourn those unnecessary deaths and that has not changed. We do know we are fighting an uphill battle – especially with the likes of the "No Responsibility Association" which promotes gun violence, gun braggadocio and wants everyone to be able to purchase a tank. (Promoting guns automatically promotes gun violence, as a gun by definition is an attack and not a defensive weapon.) Read it again: 30,000 gun deaths in 2006. I repeat, if there were 30,000 less guns in that year there would be 30,000 less gun deaths that year. So, by extrapolation, I wonder how many will now be killed at Mount Rainier?
I do have to compliment you on a couple of things. You are the first Repugnican to note my spelling of the, er, Republican party, and, hallelujah, you do not need to use curse words to try to insult me – or us Weenies. That alone implies a certain amount of intelligence; both are nice to see from the usual Repugnican. And now, sir, a rhetorical question. Spell "Sir" phonetically and note the word you just spelled and realize when I'm addressing a Repugnican as "Sir" I mean the other spelling/word.
Back to the matter at hand. You carried on for quite a while pointing out various slobs in the outdoors. I would add to that, slobs killed 30,000 people in 2006. Finally in your last paragraph you bring up the No Responsibility Association, somehow implying they were involved in the "slobbering" you mentioned earlier in your letter. I don't understand the connection. Anyway, you mention they were a "great organization who battled the "mainstream media." Umm, sir, the "mainstream media" is basically owned by Repugnant Murdock – a right winger if there ever was one – and his media is going to "battle" the No Responsibility Association? Sir, sir, sir! Tsk, tsk!
You also implied I wanted to take away your guns. I did not mention anything about that. And, by the way, if we had less guns there would be several police officers and one security guard alive today who were gunned down by Gunnies who were afraid Obama would take away their ability to kill 30,000 people. Of course, Obama is also a Weenie and won't do a thing about Gunnies at all.
I still say, with a great amount of rage over those 30,000 unnecessary deaths, less guns equals less deaths.

High school
is lucky to have Alley
In the Aug. 5, 2009, edition of this paper, I was thrilled to see the photographs of the EHS band room's transformation. The countless hours, many in very warm conditions, it took for several dedicated helpers (Trish, Emma and Cameron Pierce; Amanda and Mike Jarman; and Janelle Frazer) and Mrs. Lynda Alley to wake up this tired band room was quite extraordinary. This is an exterior "snapshot" of Mrs. Alley's passion for music education; the love she has for her subject and imparting that on students is unsurpassed. Enumclaw School District is fortunate to have someone in this position who is so in tune with the excellence of music and the knowledge of what to do to foster the love of music in children. She has been at Enumclaw Middle School for several years, but is migrating to the high school this year to be the high school band and orchestra director.
Shortly after we moved to Enumclaw, from Denver, over four years ago, my family and I had the privilege of seeing Mrs. Alley, along with the late Mr. Darrell Eide, conduct a young honors band comprised of mainly middle school students. It was a special performance to showcase the children playing with a professional French horn player Mrs. Alley knew from her days in the U.S. Army Band. From that moment on, I knew we had arrived in a great community for our two boys.
Within the four years we have been in this community, Mrs. Alley has been an integral part of our children's education. The commitment she has shown through her perseverance and energy in encouraging children to compete in All State and solo/ensemble contests has been exemplary. This summer, upon starting her new role as EHS band and orchestra director, she led the high school marching band in the Stars and Stripes Parade. She also is offering a marching band practice camp for three weeks this summer to have the students get ready for the upcoming football and marching band competition season. Mrs. Lynda Alley is truly a gift to our community and our children.
As president of the EHS Band Boosters; Janelle Frazer as vice president; Monica Goucher as treasurer; and Maureen Libra as secretary, Band Boosters warmly welcome Mrs. Lynda Alley to a fresh and exciting school year. Anyone wishing to support any of the high school's instrumental music groups – Marching Band, Symphonic Band, Wind Ensemble, Orchestra and Jazz Band – is welcome to be a member of Band Boosters; families of students in these groups have automatic membership. For any information on Band Boosters, please feel free to contact me at 360-825-1138, or visit our facebook page: "EHS Band Boosters."
Here's to a great year of music for the Enumclaw and Black Diamond communities thanks, in part, to Mrs. Lynda Alley.

What's the definition of leadership? If you guessed "getting people to follow you," you're forgiven. After all, that's what 62 new head stewards, prefects and Lang Scholars might well have said before attending the second annual UCC Youth Leadership and Character Forum at McKinsey & Company, the global consulting firm, on April 28.
Thanks to a generous donation to step up UCC's character development initiatives, the boys were treated to a daylong, executive calibre retreat to develop character strength and moral courage. (The goal is to roll such initiatives to benefit students more broadly in the future.) UCC also thanks McKinsey consultants Kate Subak and Bruce Simpson for their tireless support and financial support, respectively, for this initiative.
The overarching goal is to teach boys that true leadership means acting in a way that serves and inspires everyone, not just getting others to do your bidding, said McKinsey consultant Bruce Simpson. He gave a keynote speech about the difference between recklessness and the calculated risk that opens the door to serious success. Incidentally, his mom was the first woman to cross Greenland by ski, he still takes his family for major kayaking adventures there and, as a younger man, trekked across China.
In addition to knowing how to take smart risks, leaders have other tools at hand. A series of morning breakout sessions illuminated character strengths such as resilience, curiosity, self-control and gratitude.
"The secret to resilience is to have a 'hidden backpack'" said Mary Gauthier, executive director of the Wernham West Centre for Learning. "That backpack means having at least one caring person to turn to during tough times." She solicited stories of resilience from students. One told of a kid who cried at the start of every swimming lesson until, finally, he got into the pool in the last session. In another session on gratitude, the boys wrote thank you notes, surely a classic device in the lifelong toolbox for exhibiting good character.
The boys then discussed and received the results of their personal profile, the famed Myers Briggs Type Indicator. It offers insight on how we prefer to take in information and make decisions. Fittingly for a group of leaders in training, the introverts to extrovert ratio was 63 to 37, while in the general population it was 49 to 51.
One of the day's highlights was a visit from Old Boy Chris Studer '12, executive director of Get Real. In his discussion of moral courage, he spoke of his organization's work to banish homophobic language and attitudes. In a touching and popular viral video called "Notes to my Grade 7 Self," students talk about how they were bullies or bullied, and how they've changed.
"Our goal is to create an atmosphere that fosters moral courage, whether it's offering a glass of water to someone who's drunk at a party or shifting an entire office culture where everyone says 'that's so gay" as if it's second nature."
In a breakout session following his talk, students revealed their own instances of moral courage. Interestingly,one response that received the most recognition from peers was a student who confessed it took major courage to ask a girl out by phone rather than text.
Indeed, whether it's confronting homophobia and other big picture issues, or asking a girl out, the conference's lessons have broad application. Watch for a video of the conference to be posted on our Facebook page later this week.

Over the years, I've found that the lessons I've learned outside of the office are just important as the ones I've learned in it. I'll find myself struggling to deal with a problem, only to remember something seemingly unrelated from years ago that helps me find the solution.
Basketball has always been one of my favorite sports to play and watch. I'm struck by how many of the lessons I learned on the court have translated into lessons I can use in work and in life.
This is some of the best career advice I learned on the court.
Make the Extra Pass
One thing that makes the San Antonio Spurs so successful is their selfless play. In a game where some star players play hero ball, the Spurs excel at ball movement and teamwork. Making the extra pass means passing up your good shot so that your teammate can take a great shot instead, and the Spurs always look to make the extra pass no matter who gets the shot at the end.
At work, it can be tempting to take the hero ball approach. I've seen employees – great employees, even – who say yes to every project and refuse help because they think it will cement them as an integral part of the team. But eventually these employees burn out, or they put so much on their plate that the quality of their work suffers. The employees who make the extra pass, the ones who collaborate with their coworkers to find the best solution as a team, those are the employees who can really make a difference.
At the same time, being a good teammate is a two-way street. You want to be the employee who's in the right position to catch their coworker's pass. Take an interest in what your coworkers are doing, be available to collaborate and troubleshoot when needed, and you can be sure they'll be standing in the right spot the next time you need to make a pass.
Guard the Player, Not the Ball
When teaching defense, one of the first things a coach tells his team is to watch the body of the player they're guarding, not the ball. The ball can be distracting, it can fool you into jumping one way before crossing you over the other, but the body will always tell you exactly where your opponent is going to go.
In other words, learn how to prioritize your focus. I've seen workers who freeze when multiple items need their attention, or they'll spend too much time spinning their wheels on one small part of an assignment while the overall task suffers.
When faced with these situations, pause and ask yourself what success will look like, break down the steps that will take you there, then focus on accomplishing one task at a time. Resist the urge to guard the ball – the small distractions that leave you jumping from one thing to the next while never getting closer to your goal. Focus on the larger goal and the steps that will lead you to success, you'll never get crossed over.
Box Out
Rebounds are a hustle stat, and grabbing a rebound usually comes down to which player wants it more. When you box out, you're putting your body between your opponent and the ball – fighting for every inch of space to get that rebound.
Anyone who has played basketball can tell you that boxing out is one of the most important things a coach looks for. Why? Because coaches value hustle and effort above everything else.
In work and in life, we want to be the type of person who boxes out – the type that puts in the extra effort even when the work isn't glamorous. That's the type of employee who becomes critical to a company's success, and you can be certain that your boss will look to you as the rock they need in crunch time.
Be Ready
One of the most important roles on any good basketball team, is that of the player who comes off the bench. Whether that is to give one of the starters a rest or because the team needs a spark, the importance of a strong bench is critical to any team that wants to compete for a championship. Being ready at all times is critical.
Will you be ready when called upon by your supervisor to step up when the time is needed? The extra effort that you put in each and every day will get you ready when that call comes for you to become a key contributor to your office team. All good players believe in the importance of the 5 P's: Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performances. The 5 P's are a tool that will help you become a superstar in your chosen career.
Are you a tech MVP looking to join a new team?
Let us help you take your career to the next level. Take a look at our available jobs and start making your next big career move!

California Baby's silky smooth Calendula Everyday Lotion is lightweight and applies quickly leaving the skin with a long-lasting satiny finish. California Baby's Calendula Lotion is gentle enough for everyday use. California Baby's Calendula Lotion is especially recommended for those with sensitive, irritated or extremely dry skin; helps to soothe dermatitis, eczema, and cradle cap. California Baby's Calendula Lotion is beautifully scented with California Baby's Calming blend of essential oils that include French lavender, which works to unwind the body and promote calmness - an excellent bed or naptime massage lotion.

Age: Newborn and older For Use: Face & Body Scent: alifornia Baby's special Calming aromatherapy blend that includes French Lavender. A note from Jessica, developer of California Baby: "If you are like me, you are constantly washing your hands (don't get me started on that subject! If you've visited our Hand washing page, you know we have created a whole 'how-to' on hand washing…) as a result, I am constantly applying lotion. I love the herbal-y scent of this lotion, which seems to help me slow down a beat and just breathe. A small drop is all that is needed for quick and easy moisturizing. In the summer, I use our everyday lotions on my face to hydrate without heaviness. The perfect compliment to our rich and creamy Calendula cream, which I use every night—especially around the eyes!"For grownups: Great facial moisturizer for those with normal to oily skin or with acne as Calendula has anti-septic / anti-bacterial properties. Tip: California Baby's custom pump locks in the "up" position—click left to lock; click right to unlock—making this lotion perfectly portable in a diaper bag, gym bag, or backpack without worrying about messy leaks.

What products are appropriate for my use? California Baby products are free from common allergens such as milk, egg, peanut, walnut, cashew, almond and pecans, fish, shellfish, soy, and wheat. California Baby products are also free of gluten and casein. Synthetic fragrances may contain phthalates and other irritants. To ensure purity, California Baby's essential oils are tested for synthetic contaminants and pesticide residue. California Baby suggests that you always do a patch test before use. Here's how: apply a small amount of the product to the inside of the wrist right before bedtime. In the morning look at the area for any redness, itchiness or any sign of irritation. Do this for 7 days. If you are sensitive to a product it is likely to show up during this test.Are your products non-comedogenic? This term refers to ingredients in beauty products that clog the pores and can cause blackheads, pimples or cosmetic-related acne. California Baby does not use potentially comedogenic, non-natural ingredients like mineral oil, petrolatum, paraffin and dyes that are commonly found in other personal care products. Are your products safe for pregnant women to use? California Baby Super Sensitive products (no fragrance) are an excellent choice for use during pregnancy. California Baby recommends that any expectant mother check with her physician before changing her skin care routine with our products, or any other line of products. I am a Vegan. What products can I use? All California Baby products start with a vegetarian point of view. California Baby makes two products that utilize animal ingredients: California Baby Diaper Rash Cream contains an ultra-purified lanolin and our sunblock sticks contain beeswax. The choice was made to use lanolin and beeswax as water barriers instead of the typical (cheaper and cruder) petroleum and fish oil alternatives. Lanolin is extracted from the wool of the sheep and is not considered a body fat. Beeswax is hypoallergenic and is considered acceptable by many vegetarians. Do you test on animals? California Baby does NOT conduct product or ingredient tests of any kind on animals.Do you use organic ingredients? Are any of your products certified organic? A note from Jessica, developer of California Baby: "At California Baby, we believe that a personal care product that is natural, safe and sustainable is more beneficial to our consumers and the planet than simply bearing an organic seal—the current USDA organic seal is designed for food—not personal care; the safety and efficacy of all the ingredients (active and inactive) are not the primary objective of the code, which we feel should be an important component of any cosmetics standard. After all, personal hygiene products are not food. Currently there are a few new personal care organic standards being developed, and California Baby is on the forefront of developments and will keep you posted.From day one (1995), California Baby has always purchased organic ingredients and we continue to always to "look to buy organic." But we also have our own—very stringent guidelines—and the two don't always coalesce. For instance, we require that our vegetable oils not be processed in a facility that also processes nuts. The oils may be available organically but if they are processed in a facility that also processes nuts—this is not acceptable to us. This is just once instance where organic is not the better choice for us."Jessica, the developer of California Baby has served on the steering committee of the new Natural Standard backed by the Natural Products Association (NPA) and we comment frequently on organic rule making message boards, in addition to being an active and compliant co-signer of the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics (EWG).

A view of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, taken from atop a building in the now-abandoned city of Pripyat. Reactor 4 exploded in 1986, but the other reactors were still in use as late as 2000.
how creepy would it be to walk through that place now… be like 'i am legend'
Except without Will Smith 😉 YAY
And loads of radiation.
Actually Tardex, according to wikipedia, 91% of the information on the interwebs, the surounding area is safe for living and economic use except for a 30km zone known as the zone of alienation, The Chernobyl Zone, The 30 Kilometer Zone, The Zone of Exclusion, The Fourth Zone, or just The Zone.
Then again I also dug up something about a man growing a penis on his arm, so that might skew it a tad.
get out of here stalker.

SEATTLE – It's hard to imagine even Antonio Cromartie could be optimistic about the Jets' playoff chances now.
Cromartie's Jets fell 28-7 to the Seahawks on Sunday at CenturyLink Field to drop to 3-6, watching their postseason hopes flicker.
The Jets offense looked like a bumbling bunch of misfits, led by quarterback Mark Sanchez, who committed two more turnovers to bring his season total to 13. The only points the Jets managed came from the defense, which put up a valiant fight but could not overcome its inept offensive counterparts.
Seahawks rookie Russell Wilson had some nice moments, but the Jets defense held him down for most of the game. The problem was the offense did nothing to support them, even with Tim Tebow getting a larger role than usual.
The Jets spent the week after their bye talking about cutting down on mistakes. It looked like it was all talk.
The Jets had several killer self-inflicted wounds early that set the tone. Sanchez threw an interception in the end zone, his third red zone interception of the season. A play before that, tight end Dustin Keller committed a false start penalty at the 1-yard line, moving the ball back to the 6.
The Jets survived Sanchez's pick with the defense registering another hold. They would not fare so well after their next big mistake.
With just under six minutes to go in the half and the score tied 7-7, punt returner Jeremy Kerley muffed a Seahawks punt at midfield and Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor recovered at the Jets 42.
It took Wilson and the Seahawks eight plays to march into the end zone, scoring on Marshawn Lynch's plunge from inside the 1 to go up 14-7.
Sanchez added a fumble in the fourth quarter when the game, ending any hope of a comeback.
Early in the game, it looked like the Jets might get blown out. They put together an 11-play opening drive that stalled when the Jets got stuffed consecutively on third-and-1 and fourth-and-1. The Seahawks took over at their own 41-yard line and the rookie Wilson showed what he was capable of. He completed an 18-yard pass to Doug Baldwin, and then hit a 38-yard strike to Golden Tate, who jumped over Jets cornerback Kyle Wilson, for a touchdown and a 7-0 lead with 8:01 left in the first quarter.
The Jets defense buckled down after that and really started to bring the heat on Wilson, living up to their vow last week to "rattle" the rookie from Wisconsin. The Jets defense put the team on the scoreboard when Mike DeVito sacked Wilson, forcing a fumble that Muhammad Wilkerson recovered and returned 21 yards for a touchdown to tie the game at 7-7 with 2:50 left in the first quarter.
The Jets forced another turnover on the next series when Lynch fumbled on the opening drive of the second quarter, with Calvin Pace recovering for the Jets. The Jets offense cut through the Seahawks defense, mixing in Tebow and with Sanchez hitting Jeremy Kerley for a 38-yard pass.
They had the ball at the 1 when Tebow entered the game, looking for his first touchdown of the season. Instead, Keller had a false start and moved the ball back to the 6. Sanchez then telegraphed a pass to Keller in the end zone that cornerback Richard Sheman was waiting for, jumping in front of Keller for the interception.
The Seahawks put the game away early in the fourth quarter when Seahawks Wilson found Sidney Rice for a 31-yard touchdown to make it 21-7 and put the Jets' playoff hopes on life support. Seattle did a nice job of exploiting a mismatch of Jets nickel corner Ellis Lankster against Rice.
Seattle and former Jets coach Pete Carroll rubbed salt in the wound with a trick play that had Tate throw to Rice for a touchdown to make it 28-7 and embarrass the Jets.
The Jets actually looked like they had a plan for Tebow for the first time this season. He came out throwing the ball, which has been a rarity this season. He threw short passes, but also mixed in some nice runs.
Ryan said during the bye week that they would look for ways to use Tebow, then backed off that statement last week. It is clear, though, the coaching staff made a concerted effort to find a bigger role for him.

RE: Debt
I put together a short financial tutorial for my college-age nephews some years ago and this thread made me go back and re-read it. All of it still applies but I found these particular bits of advice worth sharing for starters:
There is one other way to budget yourself without actually creating a budget (this is my preferred method and I have been practicing it for a long time); that is to create an artificial economic environment of scarcity. You achieve this by giving yourself an allowance. In my case no matter how much money my wife and I make in a month I always transfer everything above a certain amount into savings so that every month I start with the same nice round figure in my checking account (keep in mind that this is an amount that I know can cover ALL the basic needs plus a little more for fun). At the end of the month after all deposits have been made whatever is above that number gets transferred into savings. In this way it is very easy to see how you are doing against your allowance.
Example: Let's say my number is $3,000.00 in checking. Throughout the month I pay all my debts (say $1,000.00) as they come in (via online banking). I also deposit a paycheck of $2,000.00 so that I now have a balance of $4,000.00 in the account. On the last working day of the month I transfer $1,000.00 (everything above my $3,000.00 allowance) into savings and start the new month again with $3,000.00 in checking.
On a dry-board in my home office I record how much we transferred every month throughout the year. We take great satisfaction in seeing just how much we can save this way to help us achieve our "Life List" of goals.
Keep in mind though that at first the only way you will know how much you need in your checking account at the start of every month to realistically cover fixed costs is to create a historical budget. I keep meticulous records on 3-ring binders.
• Credit Cards – Good or Bad? How would you answer these questions?
o If I told you I wanted to borrow from you $1,000 and pay you 5% when I knew I could invest your money and get 18% would you think I was smart or a financial fool?
o If I had $1,000 in the bank making 5% while I owed $1,000 to a credit card charging me 18% should I keep the money in the bank or pay off the credit card?
o If I could pay using your money for something I wanted and not have to pay you back for thirty days, then pay you back in full and owe you exactly what you loaned me and not a penny more would I be smart or foolish? Most credit cards have a grace period that allow you to do just this.
Credit – Good or Bad?
o On the other hand if you don't have sterling credit you are dead in the water.
o Did you know that published interest rates http://www.bankrate.com/brm/compare_rates_home.asp are quoting the rates they would loan to you only if you have a Beacon score higher than 700 and closer to 725? If your score is less guess which way the rates will go? Up! Mediocre credit costs you big bucks!
o You have to make yourself a good credit risk to borrow the money and leverage your investments to make the money to borrow more money to … anyway you get the picture. Fix your credit today. http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/microsites/mo...pair.shtml
o Establish personal relationships with lenders. If you don't have access to money this isn't going work. Remember that even credit rates can be negotiated especially if you have a high Beacon and/or have done business before with the lender (provided you paid up of course).
Speaking of negotiations check out this book:
The seven common denominators of the wealthy (from the book The Millionaire Next Door):
1) They live well below their means
2) They allocate their time, energy and money efficiently in ways conducive to building wealth.
3) They believe that financial independence is more important than displaying high social status.
4) Their parents did not provide economic outpatient care.
5) Their adult children are economically self-sufficient.
6) They are proficient in targeting market opportunities.
7) They chose the right occupation.
Hope this helps a bit, I can vouch for all of it.

Everyone, thanks for your input. It's been a busy few days on my end, hence my lack of response until now.
I will say a few things:
1. Every response is greatly appreciated. I wanted to hear from intelligent people with a reason-based perspective on this topic and I'm gratified with what I've read so far.
2. I appreciate the advice on bankruptcy but this is something I can work my way out of.
3. I was somewhat aware of Kiyosaki and shyed away from people like him largely for the reasons stated above. I'm not affluent, at all. I did borrow a book of his from the library and knew how helpful it wouldn't be when he cited as an example his wife making $1 million off a real-estate deal.

So I have a grasp of the broad strokes -
* Get a second job, knowing that the long hours will suck but that it will pay off both in the short- and long-term
* Stop using credit
* Set up an emergency fund, $500 to $1000
* Debt snowball, but paying off one particularly high interest loan first before going lowest amount to highest amount (but if I can be convinced to do the highest interest to lowest interest rate, I will change my strategy)
* Get on a budget
And I probably (if I don't decide to stick with Dave Ramsey's Baby Steps 1 and 2) will contact someone locally thru the National Foundation for Credit Counseling.

Spoiler Bomb: Ant-Man's Surprise Twists and Cameos, Explained
Director Peyton Reed talks about that fight scene and the movie's hell yes! mid-credits scene.
Ant-Man may be a more modest Marvel movie than most, but the movie still comes stuffed with secrets, in-jokes, and surprise twists. While most moviegoers will focus on the movie's A plot, where Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) and his daughter Hope (Evangeline Lilly) recruit thief Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) to wear the Ant-Man suit and conduct some sabotage for them, attentive fans will notice all sorts of Easter eggs in the margins. Here, director Peyton Reed explains all of the fun surprises and major questions you may have had after watching Ant-Man.
Again, that's after you've watched Ant-Man. SPOILERS, in other words.
Peyton, let's start with one of the biggest surprises: Janet Van Dyne is alive! You took a lot of heat from fans who thought that because Janet wasn't in the movie, you had "fridged" an important character; that is, you killed off a woman to further a man's arc. We learn, though, that Janet is actually lost in the quantum realm after saving the world from a nuke. Was it frustrating to endure that controversy while keeping Janet's fate secret?
The secrecy is a huge part of these movies, I have now found out firsthand. I have a love/hate relationship with spoilers. As a filmmaker, you want to maintain as much mystery as possible so that people will be exhilarated and surprised when they're in the theater. Having said that, in 1980, I read the novelization of The Empire Strikes Back two weeks before the movie was released. I was such a fanatical Star Wars fan that I couldn't help it, and so I knew the big secret before I went to Empire Strikes Back on opening night, and it did not affect my enjoyment of the movie at all. I was still exhilarated even though I knew the secret! It was a lesson to me, in a weird way, that even if you knew the information, it didn't necessarily spoil it. And now we're in a culture where that's almost unavoidable.
You came onboard after the original director, Edgar Wright, had departed, and you rewrote the script with Adam McKay and your star, Paul Rudd. Did the Janet story line change in your version? There's one flashback where we get to see her suited up as the Wasp ...
In the original drafts I think there was one reference in dialogue to Janet. She didn't appear in the movie. When I came on, there was definitely some stuff that I wanted to bring to it, and same with McKay and Paul. McKay, who we all know is hilarious, is also a huge Marvel nerd. So there were a handful of things from the comics that we wanted to work into the movie. As far as Janet goes, it felt organic because the Hope-Hank dynamic is a integral part of the story. The movie really is about two father-daughter stories, and a crucial part of the Hope-Hank story is this lie he's been telling her about her mother. So there was never a notion that she would be fridged, at all. We went back and forth about it, and I think Adam wrote at least three versions of this flashback Hank recounts about Janet, but we also brought the quantum realm into the movie, which was never in the early drafts. That mostly came about because Adam and I love that psychedelic part of Marvel Comics. We thought, "There's gonna be a lot of shrinking in this movie. What if we got to the third act and we took it even further?" We found a way to work that into the story with the self-sacrifice that Scott makes to save his daughter, but it also leaves Hank Pym with this realization that Scott got out of the quantum realm, something he didn't think was possible. If we're fortunate enough to do another one, what's Hank going to do about that? Is he going to try to find her? It's deeply romantic.
In the end-credits tag, Hank gives the Wasp costume to Hope, and she says, "It's about damn time." That line feels like a nod to audience frustration that it's taken this long to get more female Marvel superheroes.
Absolutely, yeah. And I like that the movie takes its time with her arc, because she's a troubled character at the beginning. But right off the bat, she tells her father, "Give me the suit and let me finish this," and he says no. I suppose the movie really could be called Ant-Man and Wasp, if you wanted to spoil things.
Tell me about the cameo from Anthony Mackie's Falcon, who Ant-Man tussles with during one break-in. How did you decide to include him?
That was not in the original script, and when we were talking about increasing the heist movie tropes, McKay said, "There's always that moment where the heist is in place and the plan is ready but, oh shit, there's one more thing we've gotta get!" In our movie, it's the signal decoy, and Hank has to send Scott to this old Stark warehouse to get it. Unbeknownst to Pym, that old piece of land became — at the end of Age of Ultron — the new Avengers facility. So McKay pitched that he has to fight an Avenger, and we'd just seen Captain America: The Winter Soldier, so McKay suggested the Falcon. It seemed like the right character — not a marquee character like Iron Man or Thor, but the right level of hero. And the kid in us was excited: This hero has these certain powers and this other hero has different powers, so if they fight, who's gonna win? That's what I love about the whole Marvel thing: Mackie's in Winter Soldier, a pretty serious-minded political thriller, and then he comes into our movie and he's doing light comedy. Then he's going to be in Captain America: Civil War, where he'll be serious again.
Last question: Ant-Man's trusted flying ant-steed Antony collides with a bullet fired by the villainous Cross. Is he really dead?
I'm here to report that Antony is dead.
You monster.
But look, here's the bright side: The average lifespan of a carpenter ant is maybe 12 weeks, tops — more likely, 6 to 8. I feel like he really lived his life to the fullest. He literally made a name for himself. He'll be looked back on very fondly. I thought, "Can we make a relationship that's like Lone Ranger and Silver or Roy Rogers and Trigger?" It's absurd, but we committed to it and loved it to a point where we wondered, "Can we actually get an emotional response from a giant bullet knocking into this ant?" Never mind the physics of how good a shot Cross is to pull that off.

Memorial Tattoo 2 ReviewsExcellent 1st experience
I recently got my first tattoo from Gary Yoxen at Memorial Tattoo and couldn't be happier. I can't say enough about how pleased I am with his skills with shading, attention to detail, and overall talent in general. I selected this shop primarily because of the reviews I read beforehand online. Aside from obviously wanting a great looking tattoo from a talented artist, my highest priority was finding both a clean shop and an artist who were friendly, inviting, patient, and willing to answer my questions and and address my concerns. Memorial Tattoo did all of these things and more. Look no further if you're in the market for new ink. You won't be disappointed.
Liberty Tattoo LLC 8 ReviewsGreat job!
I got my first tattoo at Liberty 4 years ago and I absolutely LOVE it still! Since it was my first, I did several hours of research on shops and artists in the area and I decided to see Shay. I've gotten countless compliments on my tattoo and couldn't be happier with it!
Memorial Tattoo 2 ReviewsGreat experience!
I choose memorial after reading reviews on another site, and since I use kudzu I wanted to post my review here. My tattooist was Ashton, and I went to get two finger tatts covered up. I had been discouraged b/c I thought I might have to just have a black band over one of them, but he had some really great ideas-Immediatly I liked him. He was professional, the place was spotless, and the price was fair. NOT cheap but fair for the work proformed. Overall I am extremely happy and would reccommend Memorial and Ashton to anybody.
Timeless Tattoo inc. 4 ReviewsThe shop, artists and art are all top-notch
My wife and I went to Timeless and cannot compliment them enough - the quality of service was amazing from start to finish. The facilities and equipment are clean and well maintained and the artists show a care and attention to detail for you and the art that is top-notch. We will be returning & recommending them.
Virtue & Vice Body Piercing 8 Reviewsi wouldn't suggest anybody esle

The Church of England edged closer to consecrating its first woman bishop yesterday despite unease at proposals to minimise divisions on the issue.
After a three-hour debate, the General Synod agreed to "take note" of a report by a House of Bishops working party intended to smooth the path towards women bishops and archbishops by making concessions to opponents.
But in a foretaste of the battle to come, speakers on both sides of the debate said that the proposals could increase disunity, institutionalise sexism and damage the Church's image.
The divisions are expected to become sharper during another debate tomorrow in which the Synod will have to decide how to proceed over the next six months.
Under the proposals, drawn up by a working party headed by the Bishop of Guildford, the Rt Rev Christopher Hill, all bishops' posts would become legally open to women, possibly by as early as 2012.
But parishes that rejected female bishops would be able to opt instead for the care of a male traditionalist bishop.
Bishop Hill said his group was steering a middle course by looking for "a structural solution, though not a separate structure".
The report was supported by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, who will lead tomorrow's debate.

Prior Integrator article on this topic:
Standards in the Works, Is it Time to Claim, and Certify, the Health Coach Within?
The Summit
Johnson: Reporting the SummitThe recent Summit on Standards & Credentialing of
Professional Coaches in Healthcare & Wellness brought experts from very
far and wide to help define an entire profession in 2 days, a seemingly
insurmountable task. Through group work, brainstorming sessions, fun and
creative performance pieces and an overwhelmingly positive attitude the group
made significant headway in creating a real plan for change. And a plan that
paves the way for Health Coaching to become a unique field of expertise through
certification processes and the development of a national licensing
Coaching & the American healthcare dysfunction
Health coaching sees itself as primed to solve the American
healthcare dysfunction, namely the overwhelming issue of abbreviated office
visits and lack of time one on one. Healthcare providers frankly do not have
enough time to properly treat and educate/empower their patients and lack to
training to offer proper motivation.
Health coaches offer real solutions by acting as both a liaison who
works with patients in conjunction with other healthcare providers and/or as an independently sought after
professional working one on one with their client. Expanding these providers to be part of a
treatment team would increase access to their skills and therefore bring about
health, wellness and prevention.
What is a health coach?
To be coached is to be supported, listened to and respected.
Clients are encouraged to create a goal and the coach facilitates the process
of attaining this goal. The summit participants, although focused on healthcare
outcomes and potential measurements of these outcomes, did not spend time
identifying these goals. Clients create
the goal in concert with their own life, their own story.
Participants used
terminology of "following the story" to further refine the role of a coach.
Patients are often too aware of their doctor's goals (orders), yet these do not
necessarily match those of the individual patient. Therefore shifting the focus
to the patient's story and allowing the patient to really explore how they will
see themselves in better health brings about an important paradigm shift.
Patients are not always interested in watching the numbers (ie total
cholesterol, weight, BMI, HA1c),
they just want to enjoy life and be able to play with their grandchild or take
a long walk or be able fit into those skinny jeans. These are the client-centered
goals of true importance.
Grappling with competencies for coaches
Another large concept that participants grappled with was
the issue of competency.
Should health coaches create competencies that can be
shared with other healthcare educators, ie nursing and medical schools or used
exclusively for their own field?
Is there one set of competencies for all coaches
and a subset for health coaches?
Is there still a need or a place for the
independent health coach if all healthcare providers are taught the basics of
coaching as a core of their curriculum?
Defining competencies truly is an
integral aspect of creating the new profession of health coach. The group did
come up with agreed upon competencies that will be further refined and
developed, paving the way for national standards and certification.
Role of research
Changing the current healthcare paradigm requires solid
reproduceable research. The current disease model of care needs to pull itself
out of the rut it has become. Doctors are deprived of the time they need to
properly educate their patients. Patients often leave without feeling that they
were heard or cared for on a holistic level. Very few if any healthcare providers
have the time or training to create a therapeutic relationship that allows the
patient to effectively make the health changes they need to make.
If coaching
can show their services will reduce healthcare costs and improve health
(through measurements of biomarkers or other trackable tools) they can prove
the necessity of their interventions. Areas that would benefit from study and
already overwhelm the healthcare system because of overinflated costs related
to management and prescriptions include: coronary arterial disease or
cardiometabolic syndrome/pre-diabetes and or low back pain. Additionally, if these studies can show a time
savings what a huge splash coaching can make into healthcare at large.
Time, and lack there-of
The issue of time is what continues to plague the current
disease-care model. Providers are not reimbursed properly to allow them to
provide optimal care including patient education. Why then not focus on
changing that paradigm? Why create
another band-aid to fix the broken system? If all providers were fully
reimbursed for time to allow for patient education this alone could make a
significant shift in the disease care model towards a prevention model. What if
these providers were also trained in the basics of coaching and helped to
facilitate patient directed goals? Wouldn't this not only turn healthcare on
its ear, but also negate the need for health coaches. The reality is that the
system is not set up to consider this option. The reality is that there is room
to create a new area of expertise and that patients need personalized
attention. Patients need to be empowered and they deserve to have a vehicle to
allow for their own health evolution.
Can coaching be an agent of change for resolving the healthcare crisis?
Who can fix our broken health care system? Yes this is the
question of the millennium. Many health professions believe they have the
answer, from holistic nursing to naturopathic care to integrative medical care
they all have the potential to solve the current healthcare crisis. And yet
none of these groups have succeeded in shifting the current model from disease
centric to prevention and wellness oriented.
The new field of Health Coaching
is positioning itself to become the agent of change, to bridge the ever
widening gap between provider orders and patient non-compliance. The summit provided concrete tools in the
creation of health coaching. Patching up a broken system by coaching significant changes in people's choices may be a long lasting answer and one that has much energy and strength
behind it.

The announcement of the new version of Google TV should be coming any day now. As usual, leaks are rolling out just a bit before the official announcement. And today we have something for you to take a look at–and even play with, if you feel adventurous.
There has been a second leak of the new version for the Logitech Revue. This time it comes with more Google TV apps (including Netflix) that have actually been showing up in the Android Market[1]. To take a look at what will be available, just do a search for "Google TV" in the Android Market. There's a large array of applications, and they can basically be recognized by the end of the title. (It usually says "…for Google TV").
The UI is definitely looking sexy. And, as Blake from Channel Android mentions, it looks much more like a finished build. If you'd like to try it out on your Logitech Revue, you can install it. But you must install the previous leak first. Not doing so will brick your device, so be careful. You can find the installation instructions at GTVHacker.
If you prefer waiting for official releases, just take a look at the video and check out what the future holds. Stay tuned for the upcoming announcement (which should come any day) and let us know how you're liking it! Are you guys excited to try out the new version of Google TV?

I visited Robert's blog a week ago or so after it was featured as Blogger's Blog of the Week. I was touched by the various posts celebrating your friend's life, and I was actually moved to tears. I had almost forgotten about reading the blog when, just tonight, I saw a Scharffen Berger chocolate bar in the checkout line at Trader Joe's in downtown Washington, D.C. I figured I must try the chocolate bar I'd read about on the blog, and I'm certainly glad I did--what a delicious piece of chocolate.

Hi Alice,
Yes, it was a wonderful event. I enjoyed hearing all the stories and reconnecting with old friends. I'm sorry I wasn't able to stay to help with the clean up! Here's a link to some of the photos I took. Please feel free to share.

Robert Steinberg Memorial

from Susie
This week Robert Steinberg, one of the forces behind ScharffenBerger Chocolate Maker, passed away after many years of fighting cancer.
I'm happy to have known this brilliant, passionate man who started as a doctor then dedicated his life to creating a high quality dark chocolate as well as educating the palates of many. I tell people Scharffen Berger was the first great American dark chocolate. (Remember when Special Dark was the only American dark chocolate?)
I remember the the thrill of first hearing about Scharffen Berger, in a long profile in the San Francisco Chronicle, when the company was in its original location.
copied by permission from Susie's blog nuttyfig.com
Then when volunteering for Transfair USA on Fair Trade chocolate, in 2001, we were giddy about being able to visit Robert at the new factory in Berkeley. I'd never met someone like Robert, with such fervor and deep scientific knowledge of cacao beans (back before the word "cacao" emblazoned the labels of every high end chocolate bar).
We learned the company was already paying its suppliers a price higher than required for Fair Trade certification. Their main concern was getting the best quality beans possible and educating more cacao growers on how to process their beans for quality.
Most memorably, he wanted us to truly understand the difference in chocolate flavor (mainly Fair Trade vs not). We held a chocolate taste test along with chocolate luminary Alice Medrich, attributed with introducing the chocolate truffle to America many years ago.
When I went to Paris, Robert gave me some bars to take the picture above (which now so au courant, with the Jeff Koonz show at Versailles.) After hearing he learned to make chocolate at Bernachon in France, I took a side trip through Lyon to see what Bernachon was all about. I decided I liked Scharffen Berger chocolate better.
Fair Trade chocolate has come a long way in just a few years, as has Scharffen Berger chocolate. Now you'll find it in many stores thanks to their acquisition by Hershey. I imagine Robert was proud to have influenced the quality of Hershey as well as other large chocolate brands.
Knowing Robert has left this world is bittersweet but I'm sure he's enjoying the great chocolate factory in the sky. Learn more about Robert on the Scharffen Berger website.

Below are the available bulk discount rates for each individual item when you purchase a certain amount
Dimmer Wheel Knob - BLACK Finish
We were looking at some old vintage electrical panels and instruments and decided to design a knob that accentuates the vintage feel of those switches of yesteryear. The knobs today are cheap and bland. So we took a boring "knob" and replaced it with something pretty cool.
Add some zing and nostalgic flair to your next project by using our Dimmer Switch Knobs.
These fit on the shaft of our Dimmer Switches (SKU: Dimmer-RB1) to create a really cool look. You don't want your projects to look like everyone else's do you?
A Little Ingenuity...
The center hole in the knob is 15/64" (has small ridges on it) and was designed to fit our dimmer switches, but---with a little ingenuity---you can certainly thread it with a tap to fit a 1/4" screw/bolt. Or you can drill the hole to fit our rotary switches as well. The sky is the limit. These are great quality wheel knobs that you must have if you're always creating cool things.
**The pictures in this listing may contain other various parts/pieces. They are NOT included. They are for photographic purposes only to give you an idea of some things you can do with this wheel knob. It's like when someone is trying to sell a dress and you see a picture with a model wearing the dress. You don't get the woman with the dress, she's just for show.......same with the other stuff in our photos. This listing is for the Dimmer Wheel Knob only.

Chicago, Illinois
Minimoons are a great option for couples who have limited vacation time from work, a strict budget, or no desire for an extended adventure. Whether you're putting off a longer honeymoon because of school scheduling or you'd rather use your extra money towards a house down payment, you've got some great options for some quick, enjoyable quality time post-wedding. Dive into a few slices (or an entire pie!) of Chicago's famed deep dish pizza before you explore the Windy City. Wander along the Chicago River, learn something new at the Field Museum, and see the city from a new perspective at the top of the Willis Tower. Head over to Navy Pier for some great eats, unique shops, and carnival-style rides for the kid inside you. If you're a Cubs fan, you won't want to miss a game at Wrigley Field. End your day with laughs at a Second City comedy show or catch a play at one of Chicago's many theatres.
Atlanta, Georgia
A thriving city with modern, Southern charm, Atlanta has art museums, green spaces and some excellent shopping. Check out the funky art shops in Virginia Highlands or the upscale designer stores in Buckhead. Take a romantic stroll with your sweetie through Piedmont Park, a 189-acre space just a mile from the heart of downtown. The World of Coca-Cola and Georgia Aquarium are two more must-see sights for anyone heading to Hot-lanta. Braves fans might catch a fly ball at Turner Field, while lovers of Gone with the Wind shouldn't miss touring Margaret Mitchell's house, where she wrote her famed novel.
Orlando, Florida
If you want to kick back and just have fun on your minimoon, head to Orlando, Florida's amuseument and vacation capital. Indulge your inner kid with a few days riding the rides at Walt Disney World and Universal Studios, see the city from a new perspective on the Orlando Eye, or slip down the slides at one of the area's many water parks. If you're hoping to indulge in some retail therapy, you'll be spoiled for choices: from the retail shops at Disney Springs to the deals at the outlet malls, you're sure to find the perfect souvenir there somewhere.
Savannah, Georgia
Graceful oak trees, manicured squares and antebellum houses: Savannah is made for romantic strolls. Linger along River Street (and be sure to sample some taffy at the candy stores!) before heading over to Broughton Street, where you'll find some eclectic and one-of-a-kind stores filled with everything from antiques to local art to handcrafted soaps. Pick up a gourmet picnic from one of the city's many eateries and find the perfect spot for lunch by the fountain at Forsyth Park. When the sun goes down, take a walking tour before sampling some of Savannah's famed nightlife.
Napa Valley, California
Napa Valley is renowned for its romantic atmosphere--and for good reason. With over 450 wineries in the region, you can make a trip out of sampling the wares of your favorite brand, and perhaps finding a few new favorites along the way. Even if you're not a wine connoisseur, there's plenty to offer a couple on a quick getaway. See a spectacular sunset from one of the hot air balloon company tours, hike the 55,000 acres of the Land Trust of Napa, or enroll in a cooking course at a local culinary school.
New York City, New York
You could spend a lifetime exploring every corner of New York City, but the Big Apple makes for a great long weekend escape as well. Whether it's your first time or your hundredeth, you'll want to dive into the culture, shopping, art, and atmosphere of the city with your new spouse. If you prefer a bit of learning on your minimoon, don't miss the Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of Natural History, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. There are professional basketball, baseball, hockey and soccer games for the sports fan, while shoppers will rejoice in the wide variety of stores across all five boroughs. Save room for a traditional New York slice of pizza, a fresh bagel and schmear and a huge ice cream sundae at Serendipity 3.
San Antonio, Texas
Don't be distracted by Dallas-Fort Worth or Houston - head to San Antonio for a Texas-sized minimoon. The River Walk is a must-do with its shops and restaurants along the banks of the San Antonio River. Thrill seekers will have a blast at Six Flags Fiesta Texas and SeaWorld San Antonio, while history buffs can't miss a visit to the Alamo Mission and the Cathedral of San Fernando. Stroll with your sweetie through the city's beautiful botanical gardens, Breckenridge Park and Japanese Tea Garden. Don't forget to see who's playing at the historic Majestic Theatre during your stay, too.
Los Angeles, California
Be dazzled during your visit to the home of movie stars! Bask in the California sun as you see if your hand fit into those of celebrities in front of Grauman's Chinese Theatre, or take a tour of movie stars' homes. Add some culture into your visit with a stop at the Broad Museum and the Getty. Indulge your inner scientist at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County and California Space Center. Don't forget to allot time for lingering along the Santa Monica Bay, where you can ride a roller coaster and Ferris wheel on the iconic pier.
Miami, Florida
Day or night, it's always hot in Miami. Show off your toned wedding physique on the white sands of South Beach before strolling through the Art Deco District to find trendy bars, clubs and restaurants. While it might be tempting to stay on the beaches for your entire stay (and no one would blame you if you did!), the Miami area has plenty of other options as well. Take a guided tour into the Florida Everglades to see local wildlife up close or snorkel along the coral reef at Biscayne National Park. Sample the wares at America's southermost brewery, Schnebly Redlands Winery and Brewery, or walk through the city's two botanical gardens.
Charleston, South Carolina
Even though Charleston is much smaller than most of the cities on this list, it makes up in charm and history what it lacks in size. Consistently ranking on lists of must-see places in America, Charleston is best known for its antebellum homes, walkable historic downtown and its wide array of culinary delights. The Holy City is best seen by foot, so grab your walking shoes. King Street is loaded with high end shops, while East Bay Street has multiple award-winning restaurants. Take a tour of one of the historic homes open to the public or head just outside of the downtown area to learn more about life on the area's plantations. Beach lovers will be delighted in Charleston's beaches, which are a quick drive from the historic area.

On Monday, Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-GA) told Breitbart News that the Government Accountability Institute (GAI) report on the lack of contact between Barack Obama and Kathleen Sebelius demonstrates the administration is either "incompetent" or engaging in "political gamesmanship."
Gingrey, a medical doctor, said Sebelius and Obama must provide answers about whether they met and what was discussed if they did. He sees disturbing hints in the report for "patients, taxpayers, and job creators." Sebelius is scheduled to testify before a House subcommittee on Wednesday to answer these questions.
Though the Obama administration and the Health and Human Services Department alleged last week that Obama and Sebelius meet "regularly," the only date of a meeting between Obama and Sebelius it could provide was last Thursday, one day after the Government Accountability Institute report was released.
Gingrey said there is "too much at stake for these questions to go unanswered" because healthcare "comprises one sixth our economy, and Obamacare comes with [a $2.1-trillion-dollar] price tag."
"The botched rollout of Healthcare.gov, its myriad delays, and the lack of transparency from the administration demonstrate either total incompetence or political gamesmanship," he continued. "Either scenario is disastrous for patients, taxpayers, and job creators."
Breitbart News Senior Editor-at-Large and Government Accountability Institute President Peter Schweizer appeared on Breitbart News Sunday on Sirius XM Patriot channel 125 and said White House Press Secretary Jay Carney, whom ABC and NBC grilled concerning the report, seemed "very uncomfortable" last Friday because he was not armed with facts and dates to counter the GAI report.

Organic Cotton
In 1996, with an increased awareness of the dangers of pesticide use and synthetic fertilizers in growing conventional cotton, we began the exclusive use of organically grown cotton in all of our cotton products.
The quality of organic cotton is equal to or better than conventionally grown cotton, yet organically grown methods support biodiversity and healthy ecosystems, improve the quality of soil and often use less water. Growing organically takes more time, requires more knowledge and skill, and, for now, costs more. But it's worth it.
To ensure we are buying cotton that is organic as defined by the USDA's National Organic Program, we require numerous certificates issued by an accredited third-party certification body for every step of the supply chain, from farm to factories.
Fair Trade Certified™
We pay a premium for every Fair Trade Certified item that carries our label. That extra money goes directly to the workers at the factory, and they decide how to spend it. The program also promotes worker health and safety and social and environmental compliance, and encourages dialog between workers and management.

Purple-leaf plum shrubs, also known as purple-leaf sandy cherry shrubs, grow red leaves in spring and purple leaves in autumn. To plant them as a hedge, you need a spade, compost, fertilizer and mulch.Continue Reading
Purple-leaf plum shrubs prefer full sunlight but can also handle partial shade. The soil must be well-draining. If the soil's pH level is higher than 7.5, add some ground rock sulfur 2 weeks before planting.
Dig holes as deep as the root balls and about two and a half times as wide. Amend the removed soil with organic compost and fertilizer. Place the top of the root balls at ground level. Fill in half the soil, water generously, and check the straightness of the shrubs. Then, fill in the rest of the soil, and tap it down to remove air bubbles.
Give the shrubs plenty of water after planting, and water them every other week to a depth of 10 to 14 inches. Before the main growth in spring, fertilize the plants. Add a 2- to 3-inch layer of mulch around the plants, not touching the trunks, to impede weed growth and help retain moisture. Purple-leaf plum shrubs are vulnerable to borers, aphids, Japanese beetles and other pests, so watch for infestations, and apply insecticide as needed.

Alaska has a lot of beauty but there's something special about the ocean… even though I might be a bit partial after growing up on the water in rural Southeast Alaska. Turnagain Arm is a gorgeous, epic stretch of ocean and mountains that's right outside the city of Anchorage. I've spent the last few years in Oregon, so to re-launch my wedding photography in Anchorage, Alaska I reached out to Elizabeth Dye with the idea of a bridal shoot in a gorgeous wilderness location. She designs gorgeous gowns out of Portland, and was happy to hop on board creating a beautiful, custom gown. Samantha modeled as our bride and wore some of her gorgeous Tlingit jewelry, Bloomsbury Blooms who has some of the most gorgeous wedding florals in Alaska and made a breathtaking bouquet that tied everything together, and Andrea Moss graced us with her awesome hair and makeup skills. There's so many talented wedding vendors based in Anchorage and so many incredible locations for weddings, I can't wait to see what 2017 brings!
