Reserve your spot
After acceptance, to hold your spot in the training program, pay your internship fees in full immediately. The full payment is due at the time you are accepted; we cannot hold a spot for you without payment. Fees must also be paid in full before you book your airline travel. If you cancel for any reason other than a documented medical emergency or death in your immediate family, only half of your fees paid will be refunded. If you cancel within 48 hours of the start date or after the date you were to begin, there will be no refund.
Travel advice
Passport: Get a passport if you do not already have one that is good for at least 6 months past your planned travel time, you can get your first passport or renew your old one by going to a post office or going on line here
Immunizations: Get immunized if you are not already current on Hep A and B, and any other vaccinations you may want to get up to date on. You will want to be sure you are up to date on tetanus, which is deadly to adults in our area. To learn more go to the CDC website here
Airline: Purchase a ticket to fly into Manila, Philippines. Many airlines fly into Manila, you can ask your travel agent, or use our Mercy In Action travel agent: Barbara Lambert at Bon Voyage Travel - Phone: 800-800-8511 - E-mail: email@example.com
Important note: You should ARRIVE into Manila International Airport by at least the day BEFORE the training begins. Be aware of the International Dateline when booking. Travel is often delayed for unforseen reasons, so you may even want to give yourself 2 days cushion, so you don't miss anything. If you do miss the pick up time in Manila, you will be responsible for your own taxi ride out to Subic Bay (costs equivalant of $100-$130 USD)
Your plane should DEPART from Manila International Airport the day AFTER the training ends.
You will be expected to buy a round-trip ticket to Manila, Philippines, and an overnight stay in Manila coming and going (hotel costs around $50 per night and includes the airport shuttle.)
Hotel: Make reservations for the Kabayan Hotel in Pasay, Manila on your arrival date; we will meet your group early the morning of the first day of the course you are attending. Below is the link for the Kabayan Hotel, a hotel we use near the airport that meets guests at the terminal and has a free shuttle to the hotel. A uniformed shuttle driver will meet your plane and take you to the hotel, where you can check in and get a good nights rest to get over jet lag. Someone from our team will meet you at the hotel the following day around noon to bring you back to Olongapo. You can make your reservation online by clicking here.
Packing: Pack light, you must be able to carry all your own luggage without assistance. The only exception is if you bring donated medical supplies with you, we will gladly pay for a porter to help you. (see below). All the clothes you need should fit in a back-back. Bring a few sets of tee shirts and shorts, or tank tops and skirts, and a swim suit. Pack a light towel, and bring a pillow on the plane with you. Throw in some mosquito spray and sunscreen, and any prescription medicines you are taking... then just slip into a pair of sandals,grab one sweater or light jacket for on the plane, and you should be set!

Cultural Conduct
What Mercy In Action is doing in the fight against Oppression and Racism within Midwifery in Developing Countries
In attempting to be a model clinic, with staff and advisers that are multi-national--Asian, African-America/Asian, Hispanic, and White--we have learned many lessons and adjusted too many times to count, in order to address the many concerns involved in cross cultural health care planning, provision and education. According to WHO the world is short at least 300,000 midwives, so one of our goals is to pass on our model so that those who desire to learn from our excellent outcomes can do so, hoping they will contribute to better outcomes in maternity care all over the world. Toward this end, Mercy In Action has put the following policies in place to address cultural competency:
- Foreigners who come to one of our trainings in the Philippines are not allowed to give direct patient care, whether a student midwife or CPM, CNM, or MD, they observe or assist the care given by Filipina Licensed Midwives and Nurses.
- All visitors and interns are required to read cultural books before coming for training; at a minimum they must read: 1) Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide, 2) CultureShock! Philippines: A Survival Guide to Customs and Etiquette, & 3) Birth Models That Work
- All participants in our international training are given the Mercy In Action Cultural Competency Course entitled "Cultural Competency and Respect in the Provision of Maternity Care".
- All visitors or training participants are closely supervised and monitored, to try to make sure that they are respectful and appropriate in all dealings with the national staff and patients. Foreigners are required to follow the same rules of HIPPA as they would in America, and are asked not to not post anything about our patients on the internet or to blogs or social media sites, and asked not to take pictures of the local people until after they know the person and even then, to ask permission.
- We add value to the local hospitals and government clinics by giving donations of supplies, and at times buying them new items they don't have, such as Doppler's, resuscitation equipment, or most recently, we donated several pairs of Anti-shock garments (NASG) , along with training in how to apply them to treat shock. Our goal is to reduce all maternal and neonatal deaths in our region. We have taken the White Ribbon Alliance "Respectful Maternity Care" video and PowerPoint presentation and by invitation, taught it at large hospitals to the medical staff . We teach the International MotherBaby Childbirth Initiative 10 Steps to Optimal Maternity care all around the country, and we are designated as an MBNet site with IMBCO. This is incredibly significant, as the first 6 steps direct respectful care to keep birth normal, and the next few steps direct respect in demanding that our site is up to date on culturally and geographically appropriate response to the diseases of deprivation, such as HIV/AIDS, Tetanus, Hep B, TB, Malaria, worms, etc., as well as Best Practices in dealing with hemorrhage, eclampsia, infection, and obstructed labor--in a word, the things that kill women.
- We hold classes regularly for national staff midwives and nurses and visiting student midwives or CPMs, CNMs, or MDs. We all take turns teaching topics so that interns see modeled the respect we have for the national staff, even as we are working to bring up the education and experience of the local birthing professionals. We train and give scholarships to local indigenous women in midwifery, and update skills for local health professionals.
- We hold After-Action-Reviews with staff and students after clinical experiences to debrief what we did right, what we did wrong, and what we could do better next time. This models humility and our value on learning and growing, and letting the patient direct our behavior. In discussing a complication, we all debrief to constantly bring up our standard of care and our quick and appropriate response in a crisis situation. We take the stance of a learner, even our most experienced midwives. This helps everyone see where they could be more culturally appropriate next time they are with a patient, or where they could learn to be more humble.
"I want to acknowledge and thank the brave and wise Women of Colors who have been my friends, mentors and councilors this past few years as I found my way to a place where I realized I could work to affect change in the shameful disparities in American birth outcomes, even as I lived and worked as an expatriate midwife in Asia; I want to especially thank CPMs Michele Peixinho, Claudia Booker, and Jennie Joseph. Thank you for being true friends and speaking truth to me. You have all helped me have endless "aha" moments and encouraged me greatly as we launched the Mercy In Action scholarships and the Scholarship Solution and Grand Challenge."
~ Vicki Penwell, LM, CPM, Masters in Midwifery, Masters in Inter-Cultural Studies
Mercy In Action does not discriminate on the basis of race, age, gender, national origin, sexual orientation, or religion when accepting training applicants.
Mercy In Action is a Christian faith-based NGO, and here in the Philippines, it is usual for our midwives to pray with the patients. Most of this country is Catholic (we work with tribal and Muslim families as well.)

text: Mental illness can affect anybody, regardless of age, gender, culture, ethnicity, or social class. But no matter who they are, people who have been diagnosed with a mental illness are all likely to experience stigma. Public attitudes and beliefs, often based on fear and misunderstanding, stereotype individuals with mental illness, exposing them to prejudice and discrimination. Stigma infects every issue surrounding mental illness, often with worse consequences than the illness itself. In 2001, the World Health Organization declared stigma to be the "single most important barrier to overcome in the community."

Customer Reviews
Great product and even greater company. Another re-order and happy customer
My new favourite is adding a teaspoon to a cup of green tea. Its so yummy, makes it taste like a warm cocoa. Its delicious even by itself, and obviously a very enjoyable way to get some bonus nutrition!
Since using your Alkalising Super Greens my digestion is a lot happier and I have recovered from surgery in a delicate place that we use daily because of your alkalising product. I also have more energy, cleaner digestive system and clear skin. I would recommend your products and I have already recommended them to my colorectal surgeon Dr Elizabeth Murphy in North Adelaide.
I am ridiculously fussy about the things that I put on and IN my body.
It was a blessing to come across these products.
ElevenLabs is pure and clean and nourishing. Key things that I always look for when fuelling my body.
And - they taste - incredible!

Tarantino on wild ride to Philippines event
EmptyMANILA, Philippines -- Quentin Tarantino was forced to hop into a pedicab to escape gridlock on flooded Manila streets Wednesday as he made his way to the presidential palace to receive a film award.
Tarantino's limousine had been stuck in traffic for about 2 1/2 hours on a bridge close to Malacanang palace when Filipino filmmaker Amable "Tikoy" Aguiluz suggested they take separate pedicabs (cycle rickshaws).
About 15 minutes later, they reached a street corner near the palace gates where a car picked them up, Tarantino said.
"It was a lot of fun. It's the way it is, I guess. ... It was wild," he told reporters. "No worries. I've done more serious things than that."
Tarantino was 40 minutes late for the ceremony but 30 minutes ahead of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.
Pounding rain from Typhoon Sepat flooded parts of metropolitan Manila, prompting authorities to suspend classes, briefly stopping a commuter train and slowing Arroyo's convoy.
Tarantino, director of "Pulp Fiction" and the "Kill Bill" movies, wore a traditional Filipino formal shirt and sandals.
He was handed size 13 black leather shoes because sandals and rubber shoes aren't allowed inside the palace during presidential ceremonies, said a staff member of the National Commission on Culture and Arts.
Tarantino was among three Lifetime Achievement award winners in the ninth Cinemanila, a film festival featuring foreign and local movies.
He is writing a book about Philippine films, particularly the horror and action movies he saw in his youth.

LIKE 33 was all about the state of UK Copyright law, the Hargreaves review of IP and the Digital Economy Act. The purpose was to ask if our current legislation and conventions are fit for the 21st Century.
Professor Charles Oppenheim was our expert guide to the vested interests and challenges to logic that define the debates around the issues.
He started with the problem of orphan works. They're not necessarily orphans – sometimes their creators are still around, just untraceable. So permission to digitise can't be sought of the copyright owner, and because of that digitisation projects of heritage works are in limbo.
There are two ways the problem could be addressed – there's a European Draft Directive on the treatment of orphan works, and a recommendation by Prof Hargreaves to create an efficient digital copyright licensing system, where nothing is unusable because the rights owner cannot be found. The European Commission focuses only on literary works, whereas Hargreaves' interpretation is broader, encompassing other media.
There are other sensible proposals in Hargreaves' "Digital Opportunity" including:
- A central Digital Copyright Exchange so people who're willing to licence can be put in touch with those who need licences.
- The lifetime of unpublished works should be reduced to 70 years from their estimated date of creation. (At present all kinds of interesting works and ancient manuscripts can't be copied until after 2039)
- Copying for private use should be allowed (it's currently illegal to copy a CD you've bought to listen to in another format)
- Non-commercial research should be exempted from copyright restraints – as should parody and text and data mining
- There should be codes of conduct for collecting societies such as the PRS, Newspaper Licencing Agency, Copyright Licencing Agency (as Charles told us about this a small cheer went up from those who have to deal with the charmless representatives of these bodies!)
Loads of sensible proposals. But the review was published about a year ago, and since then those with money or influence to lose, and their lobbyists, have been busy explaining to Government why the proposals aren't so sensible. Charles hoped that some of the proposed modernisation of our copyright law would get through. But, even delayed and weakened by lobbying, it would be a difficult and controversial change to the law.
Charles described the Digital Economy Act as "that awful piece of legislation passed in dying days of the Labour government". He'd watched a parliamentary debate on the issues and been appalled by the "staggering ignorance" on display. Apparently one MP made a speech demonstrating his belief that ISP (Internet Service Provider) and IP (Internet Protocol) were the same thing.
Lots of well-informed and learned individuals and organisations have pointed out the flaws in the act. Its draconian "3 strikes and your out" principle requires invasion of privacy, providers to become police (sending the 3 strikes written warnings) and withdrawal of service to "offenders" by the likes of BT and TalkTalk (who are so troubled they've gone to the High Court). Ofcom are pretty lukewarm about the thing too.
Anywhere with WiFi – libraries, hospitals, schools, cafes, you name it – could inadvertently become "offenders" because of the inadequate wording of a stupid law. Yet it may soon become an active law.
Our discussion inevitably moved on to encompass SOPA and ACTA but we'd already answered the question of whether our current legislation and conventions are fit for the 21st Century. Wish it could've been "yes". But unfortunately it looks like the latest Digital Opportunity to drag ourselves into this century will be missed.

That state audit finding is actually related to theft and misconduct criminal charges pending against the former Rogersville water superintendent Shawn Hatchett, and was not the result of anything the school system did wrong.
The first step toward bringing the Rogersville Water Department back into state compliance regarding its levels of disinfectant byproduct will be a study of the water system that will cost at least $49,725.

I Tried 5 Charcoal Beauty Hacks And Was Seriously Impressed
Walking down the aisle of your local drugstore, you'll see that charcoal is the trendiest ingredient in skincare right now. There are black masks, cleansers, body bars, and scrubs with activated charcoal as the star. Beauty companies praise it as a game changer for oily and acne-prone skin. And with even more of these lines coming out on shelves, I was curious why charcoal is so popular. So I decided to break it down to the basics: I would use charcoal in its pure form mixed with one or two other ingredients to create DIY beauty recipes. This way I could really see if it works like magic.
From the moment I opened the pouch of powder, I knew this experiment was going to be messy. With all the black dust flying out, I felt like I was meant to start singing "Chim Chim Cher-ee" from Mary Poppins at any moment. How could something so dirty clean my face or whiten my teeth? I thought this experiment would be a total bust. But I have been wrong before.
Before we get in to my DIY charcoal tests, I want to cover some basics. First, I should stress that there is a certain type of charcoal you need to use. DO NOT, please do not, use the charcoal that you would grill with. You need food-grade, activated charcoal powder. I used Rocky Mountain Hardwood Activated Charcoal Powder ($11, amazon.com).
"Activated charcoal is charcoal that has been treated to increase its adsorptive ability," explains RealSelf contributor and dermatologist Joel Schlessinger, M.D. And yes, that is spelled correctly—adsorptive, not to be confused with absorptive. RealSelf contributor and dermatologist Sejal Shah, M.D. goes even further to says. "It's an electrical attraction that causes substances to stick together," she explains. "So basically it acts like a magnet for dirt, oil, and other impurities."
Schlessinger explains that this process is incredibly beneficial in medicine to help treat drug overdoses and alcohol poisoning. But it works on a much smaller scale when it comes to skin—if at all. There is little-to-no science behind charcoal's skincare benefits. On the bright side, charcoal is a fairly inert ingredient, therefore it's unlikely to cause irritation or allergic reactions. "Clearly there's little harm to using it," says Schlessinger, "But there also may not be a ton of benefit from it."
With that being said, I still wanted to check out this trendy ingredient for myself. I figured it's taking over the beauty aisle for a reason! So, see how the charcoal worked on everything from skin to hair ahead.

First, I tried a cleansing facial scrub with charcoal and sea salt.
Purpose: "The sea salt helps fight bacteria and acne," explains Grigore. "The charcoal will assist in cleansing and detoxing skin cells, while the addition of rose water helps to hydrate and fight inflammation." Typically, I don't use physical exfoliants in my beauty routine because I have sensitive skin, but I was intrigued by the addition of sea salt in this recipe.
What You Need:
- ½ tablespoon of activated charcoal powder
- ½ tablespoon of rose water (I used S.W. Basics Rosewater Spray, $16)
- ½ tablespoon of fine grain sea salt

My Experience: Unlike most scrubs, this DIY mix has a watery consistency. I ended up trying to overcompensate for its runny texture. So I made more than the recipe called for and ended up dumping half of it afterwards (lesson learned). Using circular motions, I scrubbed my face for about a minute and a half before rinsing with warm water. The sea salt felt really gentle, not scratching my skin at all. Afterwards, my skin felt clean just like when I do my regular cleansing routine before bed.
The Verdict: I was surprised how much I actually loved this scrub. My face felt soft to the touch afterwards. And while most scrubs make my face red (just look at my face after this Korean scrub), the rose water really played its part to calm down any irritation. This DIY was really easy to rinse off and clean up since it was so thin and light.
Then, I attempted a charcoal face mask with the added benefit of clay.
Purpose: A mask seems to be the most effective and popular way to use charcoal as a skincare ingredient. "It draws out impurities from deep within the pores," explains Schlessinger. And while I don't have noticeable blackheads, my esthetician did mention that I should really opt for extractions (which I did not). So, I knew I could really use this mask to unclog my city-life pores.
What You Need:
- 1 tablespoon of activated charcoal powder
- ½ tablespoon of Bentonite Clay (I used Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay, $10)
- Pinch of rose water
My Experience: I love masks. There's nothing like winding down after a long day with a sheet or clay mask. This DIY one was really easy to apply. It slipped right into place and stayed where I put it. I loved that I could leave it on as I moved around the apartment. After minute five, the mask began to harden, and I could feel my face tightening. But when my boyfriend (not fazed by the thick coat of clay on my face) cracked a joke, I realized my face was completely frozen, and I was unable to laugh or smile. When I tried, the mask started to shatter.
After leaving it on for 15 minutes or so, it was time to rinse. This took forever. OK, it turned out to be only seven minutes, but that's still longer than you want to spend bent over a sink. I started by splashing water all over my face to loosen up the clay. Then, I cleaned my face section by section. First, I focused on my cheeks. Then, I washed my chin and finished with the nose area.
Even though I felt like I would never get the mask off, my face did feel really clean and smooth afterwards. And when I looked closely in the mirror about an hour later, I noticed my pores were all empty—like shockingly clear. There were one or two blackheads left, but I couldn't believe all the results after one use. Bentonite clay has similar benefits as charcoal, meaning it supposedly unclogs and shrinks your pores. So who's to say which ingredient did the majority of the work, but my bet's on the clay.
The Verdict: While the way this mask unclogged my pores was kind of amazing, it just took too damn long to take off. I like to use a mask when I'm relaxing, and a frozen face just was not my idea of zen. But if I noticed a bunch of visible blackheads on my face, I would turn to this as a quick fix. The results were too clear to ignore.
Next, I brushed my teeth with charcoal.
Purpose: Sounds crazy weird right? Everyone I talked to about my charcoal experiment grimaced at the thought of putting black powder in their mouth. But I was really curious, especially after reading rave reviews and hearing how it actually works. "Its natural adhesive qualities let it bind with surface-staining culprits like coffee, tea, wine, and plaque," explains NYC-based cosmetic dentist Brian Kantor, D.D.S. However, he notes that it stops whitening at surface stains. So if your teeth are naturally darker or yellow, you'll need something that contains bleach.
What You Need:
- Your regular toothpaste and toothbrush
- Enough activated charcoal powder for dipping
My Experience: First, I poured a bit of the charcoal out on a paper towel. Then, I dipped my toothbrush, which was already loaded with toothpaste. While I was really excited to give this DIY a try, my boyfriend made a disgusted face as I went in for the kill. "Are you sure?" he asked as the toothbrush started moving closer to my eager mouth. Once I started scrubbing away, it felt like nothing! It didn't have a grainy texture and the mint flavor of the toothpaste completely overpowered any flavor of the charcoal.
The Verdict: The only thing alarming about this DIY trick is how dark my mouth looked during the process. Otherwise it felt just like I was brushing with normal toothpaste. Since I have so much left over charcoal powder, I might even make this a habit. As for the whitening results, I've been using charcoal once a day for a week and my teeth do seem slightly whiter.
And I added charcoal to my shampoo for a clarifying boost.
Purpose: Charcoal works in hair the same way it does with the skin—it pulls out dirt and buildup. This keeps the hair from feeling weighed down, giving it some extra volume (something I'm always looking for with my fine hair). It's also great for the scalp. The charcoal can help relieve dandruff, redness, and itchiness.
- Your regular shampoo
- A pinch of activated charcoal powder
My Experience: I played it pretty safe with the amount of charcoal I added to my shampoo. Since I have blonde hair, I didn't want the black to stain my color. The lather felt a bit gritty rather than silky. And there was a pool of grey water at my feet. Luckily, it all rinsed out easily. In the end, my hair did feel slightly less squeaky clean than it usually does, which I actually enjoyed because it gave my hair a bit of extra grip when I went to style.
The Verdict: Since I don't really have scalp problems or use much product in my hair, I didn't necessarily need to boost my shampoo. I was hoping to see more volume. But since my hair falls flat naturally—not because of product buildup—I didn't see any major results. So, I'll be sticking to my reverse shampoo routine to get extra volume.
Finally, I tried charcoal as a matte eyeliner.
Purpose: Honestly, I had a lot of leftover activated charcoal powder. So, I figured I'd give this a try. And since all it took was water and an eyeliner brush, I figured what the heck! One more thing to add to the things I've tested.
What You Need:
- A wet, angled eyeliner brush
- A pinch of activated charcoal powder
My Experience: I found it tricky to get the pay off and consistency you'd ideally want from an eyeliner with the loose charcoal powder. It was either too wet or really powdery—either way it was tough to get a clear line. So I found myself constantly dipping the brush in the powder and water until I thought it was good enough. Full disclosure: I'm already terrible at doing eyeliner, so this did not help me improve that skill.
The Verdict: I wouldn't recommend this DIY simply because regular eyeliner already has the perfect texture to give you the sharp dark lines you want. And aren't hacks supposed to make your life easier? It's also important to note that I have sensitive eyes and wear contacts, and the powder didn't bother my eyes the slightest bit.
All in all, I really loved the results I saw using charcoal for my skin and teeth. But between my grimy fingernails, my darkened palms, and the black sink, the results weren't worth the mess it left behind. If you're looking to try these DIY recipes, you should know it did not stain anything permanently—a relieving realization since I was working away in my brand-new, porcelain white bathroom.

Simple Ingredients for Making Cocoa Peanut Butter Cookies No Bake
Before you learn about how to make peanut butter cookies which are no need to be baked, you should know what the ingredients that you need to prepare.
Here are the entire ingredients that you need for making delicious cocoa no bake peanut butter cookies:
- Sugar 2 cups
- Cocoa 3 tablespoons

- Milk ½ cup
- Vanilla 1 teaspoon
- Peanut butter ½ cup
- Rolled oats 3 cups
You are also able to use other oats type if you want. For example, you are able to use whole-wheat oats type. However, make sure not to cook the oats. You do not need to cook it first to make the cookies.
Moreover, you are able to choose between margarine and butter. Choose which one you prefer most.
If you prepare each ingredient with the exact measurement like us, then you are able to make approximately about 24 cookies.
The Process of Making Cocoa Peanut Butter Cookies without Baking It
- When you are ready to make the cocoa no bake peanut butter cookies, then you should prepare your saucepan.
- The big saucepan will be great if you have it. Place it on top of the stove and start heating it on medium heat stove.
- When the saucepan warms enough, you need to pour the butter/margarine, sugar, and cocoa.
- Stir it patiently and keep the saucepan heat stable. Keep stirring it until the entire ingredients are melted and blended.
- If those ingredients have melted and blended nicely, make sure to boil it for about a minute.
- If it has boiled, remove it from the top of the stove as soon as possible.
- After that, start adding vanilla, peanut butter, and the oats.
- Blend it again and if it possible, you need to blend it nicely to ensure you get the soft texture of your peanut butter cookies.
- When the mixtures are blended, you can start using the teaspoon to drop the mixture on the top of waxed paper.
- Drop it until there is no mixture remaining inside of the saucepan.
- The last thing you need to do is just waiting the mixture are cool enough. If you do not want to wait too long, we suggest you put on the mixture inside of the refrigerator.

Visitors To U.S. To Register Online
Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, who announced the changes, said they will help the United States boost the security of its visa-free travel program by allowing the government to screen visitors before they travel. Currently, visitors fill out paper forms en route and are screened by U.S. customs agents upon arrival.
The U.S. will begin implementing the changes in August, Chertoff said. Online registration will be mandatory for all visa-free travel by Jan. 12.
There are currently 27 countries whose citizens are not required to obtain visas for U.S. entry, including those in most of western Europe as well as Andorra, Australia, Brunei, Japan, New Zealand and Singapore. Eight other countries - among them the Czech Republic, Hungary and South Korea - are expected to be admitted to the visa waiver program.
When the Homeland Security Department began discussing the online registration rule last year, European businesses worried that business travel could be impeded.
But Chertoff argued that the system will simplify visa-free travel, because visitors will only be required to register online once every two years instead of filling out forms each time they travel.
The United Kingdom, whose citizens have long enjoyed visa-free travel to the United States, indicated it would accept the changes.
"Obviously we understand the need to improve travel security, and we welcome this additional information from the U.S. on when and where they are going to implement (the new measures)," a British Home Office spokeswoman said on the government's customary condition of anonymity.
The Confederation of British Industry, a business coalition, said it was reassured that the legislation contained provisions for last minute travel by business travelers.
Ahead of the announcement, European Union officials said they have been discussing the changes with Chertoff. Earlier this year, the EU unveiled plans for a similar travel authorization system for citizens from countries that have a visa-free regimen with the EU, but details have yet to be worked out.
"We have a clear visa reciprocity dialogue. This is something that needs to be kept in mind when this (U.S.) measure will be introduced," said Michele Cercone, a spokesman for EU Justice and Home Affairs Commissioner Jacques Barrot.
The visa-waiver program has been under fire by some U.S. lawmakers concerned that terrorists who are citizens of the participating countries can too easily obtain entry.
Chertoff said the new system will allow the United States to determine ahead of time if travelers pose a security risk. He called the system a "21st Century model for facilitating travel to the United States."
"It's very important to us to remain a welcoming country," he said, but added: "potential terrorists do not come easily labeled or identified."

Envy and Eye Candy – A Step Away From Mafietta | Anyone familiar with the E.W. Brooks brand knows all about Mafietta, but don't sleep on this budding author. She has stepped away from the world of Urbanism to tackle some of the crazy things some women do to their so-called friends in Envy and Eye Candy, a novel written with Author Kinshasha Serbin, looks at the relationship between three lifelong friends as money, lies, and envy threaten to separate the trio.
Any female who has endured a cheating spouse or fiance, a lying friend not afraid to sleep with your man, a friend who always needs money, or anything remotely close – you'll love Envy and Eye Candy. Check out this free book excerpt from the first Chapter.
by E.W. Brooks and Kinshasha Serbin
"I don't care if the bitch is sick!" Vanessa screamed. "Anyone brave enough to sleep with your fiancé on the day before your wedding should never need you for anything."
"Don't be that way, Nessa." Brenda pleaded. "You know we are all we got and we always pull together when one of us is in need."
"That was then, B. This is now. The hag can take a slow fall to hell. Now get outta my face with this shit. Let her call Tim. If he has the sense enough to sleep around like a dog, surely he can help her find the money for her treatment."
"That's not fair, Nessa, and you know it." Brenda returned. "You know that Tim has a way with words." Brenda snickered.
"Really, B? Are you really saying this to me?" Vanessa asked, obviously annoyed.
"Oh, get over it, Nessa. The deadbeat is gone. He is someone else's problem. Let that hood booger take care of him now, squash this crap, and go see your friend. What if she dies, Nessa? Could you sleep at night knowing you could have helped her?"
"Hell yeah." Vanessa spewed. "You can't do this to me, Brenda. I can't help that I actually used my Pell Grant to get an education and not a new car or wardrobe. You can't punish me for that and you can't make me give her my dough."
"Really, Nessa. Are you taking this back to college?" Brenda asked, now aggravated.
"Would you prefer I went back to elementary school? The girl is a habitual liar and she always has been. How do you even know she is sick? It's probably some scam." Vanessa replied with her mind made up. "If you want to help her, Brenda, go ahead, but I'm not contributing and you can't go to the savings fund for her either."
"But Nessa, we put aside that money in case something happened to one of us." Brenda pleaded.
"When is the last time that hoe put any money in that account?" Vanessa asked.
Brenda knew Vanessa had her over a barrel for now, so she relented.
"I guess you do have a point, Nessa, but we have to at least check on her. You would never forgive yourself if something happened to that girl."
"Speak for yourself. I think I'd be just fine." Vanessa mumbled under her breath.
"Girl, you are going to Hell if you don't change your ways." Brenda laughed.

text: Hey everyone! I have been silently lurking on these forums for a while now, gathering information and reading up on different things but now I have a question! I currently have 4 kitties who all seem to be in great health, are up to date on their shots etc. They used to all be fed Purina One Chicken & Rice dry food, but after all of the reading I've done on these forums I decided to switch their food. I made the switch slowly over a few weeks and now they get about half dry food (Nature's Variety Instinct Chicken) and half wet (Evo 95% Canned in different flavor varieties). Like I said, they have been on this new diet for about a month now and they seem to enjoy it and haven't been having any digestive issues (No puking, no diarrhea) and if anything they seem to be more energetic now, so I don't have any reason to believe they are feeling sick. Their poop however, has completely changed color. It is now more of a tan, very light brown color, as opposed to the darker brown color it used to be. I thought maybe they were just adjusting to the new food, but now I am concerned that this may be an issue? It is very solid and dry, not runny or anything like that. And all of them have the same color poop because that is all that I see in the box. Has anyone experienced this before? I tend to overreact when it comes to my kitties, so maybe it isn't a big deal... I just wanted your opinions Thank you!

Burying a bottle of Bourbon. Sprinkling the reception site with Holy water and salt. Collecting rain water to be blessed. We did it all in the week leading up to Kate + Michael's wedding in hopes that Mother Nature would hold out just long enough for them to get married. It almost worked. The rain held out just long enough for the bridal party to get into the church before the deluge of April 11, 2015 happened.
Although it rained poured that evening, there's no doubt that all of their guests had the very best time. I mean, have you ever been to a wedding where a Shop-Vac received a round of applause for its efforts to dry off a packed dance floor? I didn't think so.
There are so many things I could say about this wedding – the amazing vendors who I worked alongside to make a vision that Kate has dreamed of for so long come to life, the support of family and friends through subtle reminders that a tent wedding can be perfect even if it rains, or the lesson that God is ultimately in control regardless of how perfectly planned every last detail is.
I sound like a broken record – I know – but the collection of photographs Erin and Geoffrey Photography captured is nothing short of amazing. Their attention to detail and creativity continue to amaze me each time we work together, and the grace they tackled the challenges the weather created with was beyond admirable.
I think Michael is saying/signing "perfection!"
Kate + Michael – It was a pleasure getting to know you over the past year and bringing your wedding dreams to life – both before and after the rain. Thank you for trusting me with such a very special day in your lives, and I hope that you treasure the magic of 4.11.15 for a lifetime.
Cheers to #gloverpartyoftwo!

Ico was the greatest game ever released on Playstation 2. Ico's minimalist look and emotional pull - why don't more games use the character hand-holding mechanic so memorably used here? - created a game unlike any other. The "spiritual successor" Shadow of the Colossus - also released on PS2 - didn't quite hit the same highs but was still a memorable and powerful experience. So the confirmation that both are getting HD upgrades for a PS3 release is easily the best gaming news you will hear all month.
Famitsu - via andriasang - have published separate boxes for each but you would imagine a bundle release would make more sense in Europe. What we don't want are any "updates" that detract from the original games. HD visuals will do fine thanks.
Anyway, what do you think? Excited by the news? And if so, what are your memories of Ico and Colossus?

She lives on Key Biscayne with her husband and daughters. Visit www.thehomeeconomist.com to see her reporting.
Latino Broadcasting Company CEO Tony Hernandez, here at Sra. Martinez in the Design District, talks about his Immigrant Archive Project
"My maternal grandparents escaped in the night with 33 people in a 28-foot boat," says Hernandez. "But they never spoke about what they endured on that journey. Whenever we'd ask, they'd change the subject."
But once Hernandez began recording and producing the plights and triumphs, the fears and perseverance of immigrants who were determined to live in America, he found many of them willing to discuss the topic. One woman from Connecticut, to whom Hernandez shipped expensive digital recording equipment, captured the story of her parents – plus a whole lot more.
"When I played the cassettes I was floored," says Hernandez. "In the middle of the interview I learned that the person who organized their trip was my grandfather. I learned so much from their stories. That was my first signal that this project was the right thing to do."
Since then, those positive signs have become increasingly obvious. The Immigrant Archive Project was featured on Fox News, Latino and shortly afterward, NBC Latino put Hernandez on its list of "Top Ten Twitter Feeds That Matter."
We sat down with Hernandez at Sra. Martinez in the Design District and learned about how to produce our own life stories in order to make the journey more captivating.
You have some big corporate names involved – which we know is critical for funding creative projects — how much of your vision did you have to sacrifice in exchange for cash?
In this case, none. Sure, all creative projects need a sponsor and our other programs — such as our TOP 20 LATIN URBAN COUNTDOWN and CONTEO VENTES — are pretty commercial. So it's easy to do something like a "Coca-Cola Hit of the Week."
But for a project like this people are baring their souls and I said, "I don't want this to look like NASCAR — we can't have 10,000 logos." So for the first couple of years, we sponsored it ourselves.
A year into it, a major company approached us with an offer to buy the project — presenting us with enormous funding numbers. But their plans were to turn the entire production into a story about how the company itself managed to enhance the lives of immigrants. And I said, "No. My mother's story is in this. You can't put a price on that."
Who else's stories are inside?
Edward James Olmos — an actor whose work in STAND AND DELIVER got him nominated for an Academy Award — heard about the project and wanted to become involved, having since become a bit of a spokesperson. And while we've interviewed AT&T CEO Ralph De La Vega and Miami Dade Community College president Eduardo Padron, we didn't create a "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous." For every university president, we have a single mom or a blue collar worker or a homeless person. The youngest of them is 8-years old and the oldest 108. There's 100 years of history within the pages of the project.
How do you get people to reveal experiences so personal?
The trick is to develop a genuine rapport with each person. We do that during a pre-interview after which, we develop questions to guide the interview, but not to use as a script. Rather, we follow the person's story. Then there's the interview, of course, which we follow up with a Thank You note and a DVD copy of the edited footage.
How can we all – when speaking – alleviate the fear of sounding foolish?
What I found – and it's a point I hammer across to my sales people — is the only time you feel nervous in front of a crowd is when you're not sure about the subject matter. Preparation will ensure you know your topic – and preparation will give people a reason to listen to what you're saying.
What's the one thing you'd want us to know about immigrants?
There are some extremely draconian laws proposed designed to make life for the undocumented immigrant difficult. But we're a country of immigrants; we've always been a country of immigrants.
Immigrants are looking for opportunities better than what they had in their countries. Think of it like an ecological system that attracts butterflies. When the balance is off, there are no butterflies. The day we don't have people coming here is the day we're in trouble.
What's some good advice you've gotten?
Well one lesson I've kept with me forever came from my dad. We arrived from Cuba when I was five years old and we were living in a horrible New Jersey neighborhood. Our tiny apartment shared a bathroom with the one next door, in which lived an alcoholic. My father worked two full-time jobs, seven days a week, and one afternoon came home to change his clothes. He said to me, "Hey Tony, do you understand how lucky your father is? Most guys get one paycheck a week, but I get two." My father has a third grade education. And what allowed him to become successful in this country — to educate his children and retire comfortably — was his positive attitude. When things get hairy, I think back to that moment. And it gives me a lot of strength.

Dwelling Enchancment's Patricia Richardson Drops Jonathan Taylor Thomas Dish In Nostalgic Reddit AMA
The TradesNetwork is a website that introduces British Columbians residence and enterprise enchancment initiatives to native contractors and tradesmen who have been rated and recommended by others. Over all I'd say that I've finished 2-three.5 hours of labor per day, nearly on daily basis. Not all of this was arduous exercise on the shoulder after all – that could be a complete of all the pieces, from grip-energy work to hip stretching. There was no onerous and quick rule to progress other than monitoring how the shoulder felt throughout the session and the way well it recovered the next day. The only time I felt I might overdone it was truly in week 7, including too many dips and press-ups too shortly. I wanted to take two full relaxation days earlier than continuing, and after that left those specific exercises for an additional week. I was cautious to complete all the rotator cuff, scapular and back workouts in my program before doing the climbing associated 'fun' stuff. It's all too simple to simply climb and ignore the true work.

Jim Wyatt, SENIOR WRITER/EDITOR
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Titans were back on the field on Monday at Saint Thomas Sports Park for their 10th practice of training camp.
Here's a look at what stood out:
Receiver Devin Ross made some nice plays early in one-on-one drills, catching a deep ball, as well as a diving catch across the middle of the field.
Safety Kenny Vaccaro practiced in the defense for the first time, and he worked alongside fellow safety Kevin Byard with the first team defense on the opening snap. During the course of practice, Vaccaro and rookie safety Dane Cruikshank worked with the first team unit.
Vaccaro nearly picked off quarterback Marcus Mariota on a ball thrown deep downfield. Vaccaro beat his right fist into the ground after failing to haul it in.
Rookie outside linebacker Harold Landry continues to work with the first team defense, with veteran Brian Orakpo sidelined.
Outside linebacker Aaron Wallace showed up on numerous plays providing pressure, including a nice rush on Mariota early. Wallace later broke up a pass intended for tight end Delanie Walker.
The offense has made a lot of progress in recent weeks, but the defense ruled the day on Monday.
Cornerback Logan Ryan had a really nice practice, intercepting Mariota on a ball intended for Walker in team drills. The pass was behind Walker, and went off his hands. Ryan closed on the football, and hauled it in. He made a number of plays on the day.
The best offensive play of the day was a deep ball from Mariota to receiver Tajae Sharpe, who got behind the defense for a touchdown. Sharpe later made a nice catch across the middle on a ball thrown by quarterback Blaine Gabbert.
It was another active day from receiver Taywan Taylor, who made a nice catch in traffic and caught a number of balls. He also let a catchable ball escape his grasp, something we haven't seen much in camp.
Running back Derrick Henry showed up with back-to-back nice plays in team drills. He caught a high pass in traffic, and later busted through the whole and stiff-armed Cruikshank as he closed in on him.
Defensive back Kalan Reed broke up a Gabbert pass intended for receiver Jordan Veasy. Later, Veasy hauled in a pass from Gabbert.
Receiver Deontay Burnett walked off slowly after making a nice catch in the middle of the field.
Running back Dalyn Dawkins showed a nice burst while sprinting down the sideline after a run to his left. A few plays later, running back Akrum Wadley had success running to the right side, and into the open field. Both these backs have had their moments in camp.
Cornerback Malcolm Butler continues to make plays, and he had a nice breakup on a ball intended for receiver Darius Jennings. Butler recorded an intercepted in the end zone late, but it was on a "Hail Mary" pass where offensive players didn't aggressively go after the football.
In a red zone period, tight end Tim Semisch and Burnett each caught touchdown passes.
Tight end Jonnu Smith made a nice diving catch on the sideline on a ball thrown by Mariota.
Kicker Ryan Succop was 6-of-8 on field goals tries.
Linebacker Wesley Woodyard continues to have a nice camp. He joined Byard to break up a pass intended for Taylor late in the session.
Linebacker Nate Palmer was injured in Monday's practice, and taken off the field in a cart.
Receiver Corey Davis, linebacker Brian Orakpo, linebacker Rashaan Evans, offensive lineman Kevin Pamphile, defensive lineman Bennie Logan, linebacker Sharif Finch, and safety Demontre Hurst did not practice.
Next practice: Tuesday, 9:50-noon at Saint Thomas Sports Park.

Explore thePrincess 55
- Rent this boat
- Princess 55
- From the following locations
- Bodrum, Turkey
Note: There may be a surchange when renting from bases other than Bodrum, Turkey
About Turkey
A destination perfect for those seeking adventure on a road - or should I say waterway - less traveled. With a thrilling mix of European culture and Asian influence, Turkey offers tourists with the best of both worlds, and can be best explored by boat rental.
Take on a motorboat, catamaran or sailboat with Enaviga and explore the Turkish coastline including Istanbul, Gallipoli, Antalya and Ayvalik for a taste of Turkey's diverse culture and landscapes influenced by both Europe and Asia. Rent a boat and set sail on the Turquoise Coast route or charter a yacht along to some of the more secluded areas of Haman island. Don't forget to save some time to jump into the crystal clear water! With almost perfect sailing conditions, experienced sailors can take on the seas on their own. For those less experienced, hire a skipper to guide you through the region while you sit back and relax.The sailing season extends from April to November, although we recommend skipping the Summer months if you want to escape the tourist crowds and intense heat. Hire a boat in Turkey's Spring or Autumn for great sailing conditions and weather.
Why Enaviga?
Beautiful place, beautiful people, beautiful yacht

I'm a Modern Languages teacher who changed to Primary after 14 years of Secondary teaching. Read about my creative ideas for language teaching, suitable for more than just primary.
Friday, 9 March 2012
Well my daughter and I are now obsessed with Pointless (5.15pm BBC1 each weekday, celebrity special on Saturdays) and it turns out (following many tweets during Saturday evening's celebrity special starring Brian Blessed) that many of the #MFLTwitterati love it too.
If you haven't seen Pointless before, here's how it works. Usually, with quiz shows, the idea is to rack up as many points as possible in order to win. In Pointless, however, the lowest score wins. With the scores being based on a survey of 100 people, it's a bit like backwards Family Fortunes. Each game comprises four rounds and the first round begins with four pairs of players. (My daughter and I decided that we would apply to be contestants, but I found out that you have to be 18, so she is disappointed.)
First round: Players are given a category, such as "Songs featured in We Will Rock You" and they have to give the answers that they think are the most obscure and will therefore score the fewest points. Each pair gets to answer twice. If any answer is wrong, the pair is awarded the maximum 100 points. The highest-scoring pair at the end of this round is eliminated.
Second round: A category is chosen, such as "Volcanoes and their countries". The contestants are shown the names of 6 volcanoes (for example) and have to name the countries that go with them, always trying to predict which one has the lowest score, or, hopefully, a pointless (or zero) score. Each pair answers once, then 6 more volcanoes (in this case) are revealed and each pair answers again. The highest-scoring pair at the end of this round is eliminated.
Third round: Two pairs are now left for the head-to-head, which is a "best of three" round. The first question is a picture question. The contestants are shown 5 pictures of, for example, "Film Directors". Each pair names correctly the one that they think will have the lowest score, and the pair that chooses the lowest-scoring picture wins one point. For the next question, contestants are shown a category, such as "Cities with airports named after famous people", and the initials of the famous people are given. Again they have to choose and identify correctly the one that they think will have the lowest score, and the pair that chooses the lowest-scoring answer wins one point. If a third question is needed, 5 facts about a famous person or something like wine are presented to the contestants. They have to choose and answer correctly the question that they think will have the lowest score. The pair that chooses the lowest-scoring question wins the final point.
Fourth round: The final round is for the final pair left. They are presented with a question and have one minute to come up with 3 answers. Their aim is to find a pointless (zero points) answer, without which they will not win the prize money.
So I'd been thinking about how to make it work for the classroom when I read a tweet from Paul Collins, currently doing GTP Maths, who has been making Pointless work in Maths. We exchanged tweets and he gave me some useful advice (thanks Paul!)
Last Saturday I set up a 10-question survey on SurveyMonkey, and asked Twitter to help me to compile 100 responses. Less than 12 hours later, the survey was complete. Because I am too stingy to fork out for the Survey Monkey upgrade, I had to count all the responses myself, which turned out to take a long time! Then I typed them up in Word and, if necessary, found some more answers so that there would be some pointless answers. For the famous person, author and artists questions there are many more possible pointless answers.
I don't think you could get a whole lesson out of playing Pointless, but it would certainly make for some good starter activities, and would oblige students to think a bit harder than usual as they will have to find the most unusual, potentially pointless, answer. The first seven of my questions are in English and have an intercultural focus. These would be good as "first round" questions and perhaps "third round" questions if you used photos or initials. Questions 8, 9 and 10 are about months, days and numbers, and don't have any pointless answers. A good twist could be to get students to make the lowest-scoring date using the months, days and numbers.
What I can't think of is the best way to present this in class. Below you'll find the answers to the 10 questions in low-tech Word form - please feel free to download and use.
I'd be really interested to hear your thoughts and any ideas for other questions that could be useful.

This is a great idea. Would love to hear how it goes when you do use it in class. I'm wondering whether it would be something I could use with PGCE students - I'll let you know if I do use it.ReplyDelete
This is the coolest blog post ever, I wish you were my MFL teacher when I was at school!ReplyDelete
I actually came across your blog while googling for images of Pointless - I'm doing a write-up on my website about when me and my girlfriend applied to go on the show! If we make it on there and they ask us a question about French-speaking countries, I shall remember this! x
I have played Pointless with my Yr6 French group, but instead of playing against '100 people surveyed', they played against each other. So, for months, if they were the only person to write down mai, they got a Pointless answer. If 5 of them had the same answer, they scored 5 points. I used it as a way of revising vocab they had learned, so we used body parts, colours, months, days and so on. They loved it!ReplyDelete
That's a top idea, and so easy to prepare. Thanks Student ramblings!ReplyDelete

I'm reading The Sacred Cross by Anastacia Nutt. She makes an interesting point about beginner techniques. A practitioner can be in a real hurry to "learn" a beginning technique and move past it to the more glamorous practices without developing the necessary repetition of practice that informs the use of any technique. The result is that the person over extends and finds that their foundational knowledge and practice are lacking, which can cause problems for the person, as well as bringing him/her back to the necessity of starting over again. It's something I've seen happen before with other magicians and it is a trap that weeds out people who aren't doing the necessary foundational work to build their practice into something reliable.
In my own practice, I'm always looking for ways to improve my foundational knowledge. I figure that even if something seems basic, it probably isn't, because even with the most basic exercise you can uncover layers of experience if you are willing to work it on a daily basis. Daily practice brings with it a way to get to the heart of a technique and make it into an experience that moves you and establishes patterns that allow you to work with your internal energy and with the energy of the cosmos and underworld in a manner that reveals a way to foundationally connect yourself to the universe. Think about a daily practice you do. How long have you done it? How has that practice changed over time? How have you changed as a result of doing the practice? How has your experience of the world changed as a result of doing the practice?
A broad foundation supports the more advanced practices you do and allows you to go in deeper with them because of the discipline you've learned by doing the basic practices. When I first started practicing magic I spent a couple years just practicing the core essential skills of daily practice. The daily work allowed me to explore how magic applied to my life, how it fit with everything I did. It taught me to live magic, as opposed to just doing it for a holiday or to solve a problem. With a strong foundation of practice you live magic because it is part of your everyday life. You are doing it to deepen your connection to the world, to the inner contacts, to the universe, and everything else between.
Living magic is the point of doing the foundational practices. It's not reactive magic. It's intentional, focused...an exploration that leads to more mysteries. All of my experimental work has come out of doing the daily work, because of the insights I've gained in doing that work. It's fair to say that a lot of the experimental work happens during the daily work, because I understand how to take the daily work and turn it into an opportunity for experimentation. The daily work also leads to doing more involved work which may not happen everyday, but when it does happen requires that base level of experience be up to snuff in order to effectively do the more advanced working.
Your daily work builds up your magical muscles as it were. If you don't do the daily work it's not as easy to advanced work and there can be consequences if you aren't ready to do the work, because the daily work isn't even just about building your magical muscles, so much as its about teaching you how to prepare yourself to do the deeper work. A lot of the daily exercises that seem repetitive and boring come in handy when you need to use them in the course of doing more advanced work. For example, my stillness practice has been very helpful for helping me reach deeper states of altered consciousness as well as clearing my mind of distractions. It's a simple practice, but the benefit of the practice is that those abilities are on hand for situations where I need them, both magically and mundanely. Look at your own work. Do you have the foundation in place to support the deeper work you'd like to do? Does that foundation help you in your everyday experiences? If so then you know you're applying that daily work in ways that are paying off and helping you build a strong practice in your life.

Systems designed for enterprise-scale legal departments are not always the best choice for small and medium-sized legal teams. We developed Matter Management System (MMS) to fill the gap.
Designed by lawyers and built by CompanyNet's industry-leading developers, MMS continues to evolve to meet the changing needs of legal teams.
MMS is affordable and won't disrupt your current working practices.

- Everything in one place – MMS keeps every piece of information on a matter in one place, including notes, emails and documents.
- Instant email logging – Close integration with Microsoft Outlook means every email on a matter can be instantly stored with its record.
- Annotate documents – Valuable knowledge gained outside of formal documentation can be annotated on existing documents and made immediately available for reference.
- Evaluate risk from the outset – Calculate contract and litigation risk at the point of matter creation, giving you an instant objective idea of the chance of success and an audit trail of decisions taken.
- Live monitoring of KPIs – MMS's dashboard gives you an instant, visual update on your team's progress.
- Effortless contract and trademark portfolio management – Store, share, search and annotate digital versions of legal contracts and trademark portfolios.
MMS gives you the benefits of an off-the-shelf product, with the tailoring and customisation normally reserved for expensive bespoke solutions. Affordable and quick to deploy, it can be up and running within a few weeks.

As another year of school begins, it reminds us that not all school work takes place in the classroom. I have taken many courses online through the university. I know kids of friends who are home schooled, which is easy today with computers and networks.
I have heard of educators taking school outside the classroom like this one in BC.
Or.... how about this school?
Nautical School Ship "Sobraon" - regulations in the Supplement to the New South Wales Government Gazette, 7 June 1894 (at Trove). Look for "Entrance Books" for the Vernon and the Sobraon for names of ancestors.
I remember flipping through magazines and seeing ads for Correspondence School. I always looked through the list, wondering what I would take if I ever decided to go that route.
Did your ancestor take courses from a Correspondence School?

Artsy Fartsy Tuesday – Jesse Larsen — 14 Comments
Those are neat drawings and the wording is great too! Thanks for sharing!
That is so cool to see this work! I love that Jesse lives in Bellingham. I read at Village Books there during my book tour! I absolutely love her work. Beautiful. Very cool artsy fartsy Tuesday. Wags, Renee & Tootsie
They are great and we love the captions. Nice one. Have a terrific Tuesday.
Best wishes Molly
These are wonderful! Definitely heading to check out more. This is one reason I love your Artsy Fartsy posts – 99.9% of the time, I find fantastic art that's all new to me!
Just came back to say that I've favorited several of Jesse's magnets! Perfect little gifties for my dog lover friends :-)
very heartwarming and original Art. Te picture and quote are very inspiring and would love to have some of these.
Love those! Very unique! Thanks for introducing us to her!
Prints from wood carvings?!? I LOVE them, Roxy! Oh, this reminds Ma of "back in the day" when she did artsy-fartsy stuff like that. I love how Jesse pairs the prints with wonderful quotes and sayings.
*Cairn cuddles*
Fun! Woodblock is a challenging medium & these pieces are very cute – plus the clever quotes & paper – a nice mix!
She is so talented! Her work is very unique and the kind of thing that would catch my eye in any shop. There were even more to love on the Kickstarter page! The first one I saw was a chickadee….I love chickadees. Birds, dogs, cats, my favorite things!
Those are fabulous. I am blown away by the beautiful images she can make using such a tough method. I love it!
What talent! Love the beautiful prints paired with the quotes.
Oh, wow! I really love her stuff! You chose a fantastic artist to feature this week!
Loved the wording with the drawings. Need to get the EAT one for Hubby LOL xxoxxx
