2018 iPhone Lineup To Follow Past Precedent With September 22nd Release
We've got less than a month before Apple's 2018 iPhone lineup is official. As compared to last year, this year fewer leaks for the smartphone have taken place. After all, all of us went wild last year when things culminated with a detailed leak for Face ID via screenshots gleaned off of a leaked iOS build just two days prior to the iPhone X's launch.
Now, while Apple is rumored to launch three new iPhones this year, little confirmation of their specifications and features is available due to virtually zero leaks for components having taken place. Still, as much as Apple CEO Tim Cook would like to clamp down on leaks by hiring former government agents, as things speed up (and get more chaotic) nearing launch, they're bound to take place. Today, we've got another one of these. Take a look below for more details.
The 2018 iPhone Lineup Will Be Available For Pre-Order Starting On September 15th Suggests An Information Leak From European Carriers
Right now the only thing we have is our gut to provide a reliable estimate of when Apple might launch the 2018 iPhone lineup. Current reports for the lineup. suggest that we'll get three new iPhones this year.
These will include a 6.1″ variant with an LCD display (tentatively dubbed the 'iPhone 9') and the largest iPhone to date, with a 6.5″ OLED display panel (tentatively dubbed as the iPhone X(s) Plus). Additionally, the 6.5″ smartphone will also feature an Apple Pencil according to fresh rumors.
Moving back to the lineup's launch date, Apple might hold its 2018 iPhone event on the 12th of September. However, while this is based on conjecture, now we've got a leak for the pair's pre-order and release date – which interestingly strikes right into the heart of earlier speculation.
Vodafone And O2 Allegedly Confirm Pre-Order And Launch Date For The 2018 iPhone Lineup; Pre-Order's On The 14th And Release On The 22nd
According to Dutch publication Macerkopf's carrier sources, Apple will open pre-orders for the 2018 iPhone lineup on the 14th of next month. This opens up two possibilities; either the company will launch the device on the same day as it opens pre-orders or it will launch it earlier in the week.
September 14th is also when pre-orders for last year's iPhone lineup opened when Apple launched the devices on September 12th, falling in line with earlier speculation. Past precedent suggests Apple's preference for Tuesday as the day for iPhone's launch, but this year the company will skip a day ahead choosing Wednesday instead.
Additionally, the 2018 iPhone lineup will be released and available for purchase on September 22nd, a little over a week after their pre-orders open. Thoughts? Let us know what you think in the comments section below and stay tuned. We'll keep you updated on the latest.

While Farmington Hills (MI) Harrison's Maverick Hansen has been recruited as both an offensive and defensive lineman, it became clear last week that the 2019 standout was being looked at as a defensive end by #5 Michigan Stateafter a stellar performance at the Big Man Camp.
Spartan Nation caught up with Hansen following his time in East Lansing and the 6-foot-3, 267 pounds said that he was pleased with his effort at camp and also said that he had the opportunity to meet with head coach Mark Dantonio afterward.
"I don't even know how to explain it, it was great," he said. "It's definitely an honor talking to coach D, not many people got the opportunity that I did, so I definitely feel blessed about that."
In that meeting with Dantonio, Hansen said that he was told that while he doesn't hold an offer from Michigan State as of yet, the Spartans will continue recruiting him moving forward as a defensive lineman.
"He told me that they're going to continue to recruit me," he said. "They do have commits on the o-line, so I definitely have to start progressing more and more as a defensive lineman. It really excited me that he said that because I love both sides of the ball, so that's fine."
Hansen currently holds offers from Iowa State, Syracuse, Central Michigan, Bowling Green, Ball State, Kent State and Morgan State.
His visit to East Lansing for the Big Man Camp was a part of Hansen's college tour as he also had planned visits to Maryland, Tennessee, Syracuse, Rutgers, Colgate, and Cornell.
One of several moments that Hansen caught the attention of the Michigan State coaching staff was during the bench press, where he had 15 reps of 225 pounds, an effort that impressed Strength and Conditioning coach Ken Mannie, a moment that was understandable exciting for Hansen.
"Definitely," he said. "Especially coming from someone like him."
As far as his work ethic and competitive nature is concerned, Hansen said that it's something that comes from his family and are traits that he's learned from his parents.
"I definitely have a hard, working-class family, my mom makes everything happen for me," he said. "Not all of my family members are close, but we make the best of it. My dad is blue collar, so we just put the work in and I know it takes to put hard work in and I definitely get my personality from my family."

text: Hero Retake Anioah – Battle Mage Anioah has had some trouble recently, especially when facing mana-less heroes. Also, her kit allows her to protect herself, but not her allies which makes her lack in comparison with other supports. In this update, we have improved Anioah's skills. She will now have better mana regeneration, AOE damage and will be able to shield an ally. Word of Power: Evaporation Passive: Anioah's normal attack will burn 2/3/4/5% of the target hero's Max mana and restore 2/3/4/5% of her Max mana. Anioah sacrifices her spirit energy to damage the spirit energy of another, burn the target up to 90/125/165/195 + 0.1 MPplus 6% of Anioah's current MP in 4 seconds. Word of Power: Cleansing Anioah sends out a wave of crushing spirit energy in all directions, damaging everyone in its path by 110/160/210/260 + 0.55per levelplus 5% of Anioah's current MP as magical damage. If this skill hits a hero who is losing mana by Word of Power: Evaporation, Anioah will teleport to the target's back and stun the target by 1 second. Word of Power: Protection PASSIVE: Restores 1/2/3/4 MP every second to nearby allies. ACTIVE: Cost up to 30% of her Max MP to create a shield for Anioah and protecting a nearby ally hero who hasthe lowest HP. The shield will last for 5 seconds if it is not destroyed. The Shield will absorb 70/80/90/100% damage of the Mana cost. Power Word: Smite Anioah unleashes her fury and slams the ground, damaging all nearby enemies. DAMAGE: 140/200/260 + 1.0per levelplus 2/4/6% of Anioah's Max MP and knocking them back. Magical Defense lowered by: 20% for 10 seconds. MOVEMENT SPEED REDUCTION: 20% for 10 seconds. Elemental -- Migrove Migrove is not what you would call a weak hero but he lacks core mechanics. In this update, we provided him with some key features and made his skills more consistent. Migrove will create a lot of jellyfishesto help him control the fight and use his unique abilities against his opponents. Tidal Wave Migrove harnesses the elements and fires a powerful cone of water, dealing 90/150/210/270 + 0.7 magical damage and slow them by 30% for 2 seconds. If the target is slowed by the jellyfish, it will be stunned for 1 second. Range is reduced to 6m Bioluminescence This skill can stack up to3 times. Cooldown is reduced to 7/6/5/4 seconds. Damage is reduced to 50/75/100/125 + 0.3 The damage is now AOE damage Soul Shock This skill can now increase the range of all skills from Migrove by 1/2/3/4m Shock Field Migrove summons jellyfishes in the target area every 0.5 second for 4 seconds.Each jellyfish will deal 40/60/80 + 0.1 magical damage and slow the target by 5% movement speed.Slow effect can stack. Hero Balance Clip Dirtyblade We added some damage and shorter cooldowns to Clip to give him more flexible vision control and early game influence. Hamstrung Damage is increased to 85/115/145/175 from 55/85/115/145 Ant Sentry Cooldown is reduced to 6 for all level from 14 for all level. Kagax We added a bit more movement speed to Kagax and increased the duration of his ult to give him higher fault tolerance. Pleasant Misery Movement Speed increasing is increased to 2/2.5/3/3.5% Fury Immortality duration is increased to 4/5/6 seconds. Balondis Balondis is already a very good Guardian in our game, but sometimes he really needs that extra damage to increase his threat and force the opponents to attack him. Corrosive Dust Damage is increased to 110/170/230/290 from 80/140/200/260 Carrion Swarm Damage is increased to 20/30/40/50 from 15/25/35/45 Undying Vengeance Cooldown is reduced to 13/11/9/7 Laurelai We fixed some mechanism problemswith her first skill and reduced the difficulty a bit from her ult. She will be able to deal more damage and apply more control during a team fight. Razor Leaf Seeded Target will be always stunned if hit by twice of this skill. Beam Cannon This skill will also reduce the target's movement speed by 15% T'Saad It was a bit hard for T'Saad to change his status to offensive or defensive. We reduced the cooldown of his ult to allow him to make earlier changesbased on the game's situation. Soul Eater Cooldown is reduced to 80/70/60 from 100/90/80 Kortav We added a bit more damage to Kortav. With this change, we aim at making his assassin role easier to play Predator After using this skill, the next attack of Kortav will deal 60/90/120/150 + 0.5 additional damage. We've adjusted a series of missile speed for heroes. Skills that deal more damage and provide a greater stun duration are seeing their speed decreased to make them harder to land. On the contrary, speed has been increased for missiles that deal less damage and have less stun duration. With this change, we aim at having a more balanced approach to missiles. Kuirras Acidic Stream Missile speed isincreased Acridix Corrosive Secretions Missile speed is decreased Qiu Yuelan As an assassin-like fighter, Qiu still needs some help to deal damage. We've increased the duration of her doppelganger in order to give her the opportunity to have more than one on the map at the same time. It will be helpful for her when combined with her ult or in long fights. Ultimate Rush The Doppelganger's duration is increased to 5 seconds. Debronee We reduced the mana cost of Debronee to make him able to pass through the battlefield more frequently and giving him more presence threat. Warpath The mana cost is reduced to 60 from 100 Fate Altered The mana cost is reduced to 100/125/150 from 100/175/250 Jombraa Like Balondis, Jombraa also needs some damage to make him more of a threat and be useful to his team. Radial Blast Damage is increased to 100/140/160/200 from 70/105/140/175 Machry Machry's explosive damage was definitely overpowered, we have reduced the damage a bit to give opponents a chance to counterattack him. Dice Attack Additional damage is reduced to 10/20/30/40 from 30/40/50/60 Damage Scale is reduced to 0.2 from 0.25 Rockfist We reduced the cooldown and mana cost of Rockfist to allow him to use his skills more frequently. Combined with MP cost reduction, it will make him more threatening in team fights. Quake Reduce MP cost to 50/60/70/80, Reduce CD to 12/11/10/9 from 12 Crushing Blow Reduce MP cost to 60 for all level Thick Fur Reduce CD from 20 to 20/19/18/17 Avalanche Reduce CD to 60/50/40 from 75/65/55 EDITED WITH FULL LOG & NEW HEROES

As you may have noticed, we've been going a little crazy over all things Kiwi these past few weeks, (I mean, more crazy than we usually go of course).
As well as giving you some awesome deals on trips to New Zealand, we've also been hearing why a couple of our very own STA Travel staffer's here in the UK, have decided it's time to move to New Zealand. And now, we hear from a real life Kiwi about why she loves her homeland.
Meet Sarah Bedford, she's 29, lives in Auckland, and works as Marketing Manager for STA Travel New Zealand (dream job alert!) and is as Kiwi as the All Blacks or L&P.
Here's Sarah, but um, what is she eating?!!
I've been in touch to grill her on what she thinks makes New Zealand so great, and have got her to tell us about what life in New Zealand has to offer in the way only a true Kiwi can.
Sarah's Tips For Living New Zealand Life Like A Local.
Hey Sarah, so are you a Kiwi born and bred?
Yep. I originally come from a small town called Te Awamutu, also known as the Rose Town, which is a farming community in the North Island. If you've heard of the Finn brothers from the band 'Crowded House' (famous in the 80s), they're from there too! I moved up to the big smoke (i.e. Auckland) when I was eight.
Where's your favourite place in New Zealand?
My easy favourite is Mt Maunganui (for you poms it's pronounced 'mon-ga-noo-ee'), a beach town in the Bay of Plenty, North Island. Spend the day at the beach sunbathing or surfing (there is even a man-made reef), walk around the mount itself in the afternoon before rewarding yourself with a dip in the hot pools at the base in the early evening. After all that's done, get a legendary ice cream from Copenhagen Cones across the road.
Definitely worth the effort – the view from the top of Mt Mauganui. Image courtesy of unincorportated
What do you think is so great about New Zealand?
New Zealand is known for its many landscapes, you can be at the beach, the snow, the mountains or the city in a short space of time.
I personally love the beach lifestyle in New Zealand and the laidback attitude. I love the summers in New Zealand when it's still light in the evenings, and you can kick back on the deck with a beer or glass of wine. Bliss.
What's your idea of a great Saturday night out on the town?
I'm a fan of the viaduct area in Auckland which is on the waterfront (great views!), and home to a huge choice of places to eat, drink and dance. Ponsonby Road is also a nightlife winner, with a stretch of bars and restaurants to suit all tastes.
What's the tipple of choice for a great Kiwi night out?
Two popular kiwi-brewed beers are Steinlager or Monteith's. We also have a raft of New Zealand wines from the regions of Marlborough, Hawkes Bay, Central Otago and Martinborough to name just a few. My recommendation? Try them all!
Drink like a Kiwi. Image courtesy of Sids1
Can you tell us a couple of Kiwi sayings to help us fit in and talk like a local?
Stubbies – ridiculously short shorts worn by the NZ male to play sport (but also worn sometimes when not playing sport)
Chilly bin – also known as 'esky' by the Aussies or perhaps you'll have heard the term 'cooler'. Essentially a place to keep your food and drinks cold.
Aotearoa – the Maori word for New Zealand
Bach (pronounced 'batch') – a holiday home by the beach.
Dairy – the corner shop selling drinks, ice cream, magazines etc.
Judder bars – speed humps
Hangi – traditional Maori technique of cooking food underground using red hot rocks and steam.
Bring a plate – something you do at a BBQ, don't literally bring an empty plate, it means bring a plate of food to share.
Eh (pronounced 'a') – used at the end of a sentence when expecting a response
Sweet as – in other words 'it's all good'
Togs – your swimsuit
Jandals – flip-flops
Make sure you take your Jandals with you to New Zealand – Kiwi must haves come rain or shine. Image Courtesy of {eclaire}
What are all the cool Kiwi's wearing at the moment?
Kiwis are a pretty laid back bunch so jeans are at the top of the list, full length in winter and cut offs in the summer. Regulation footwear – jandals.
What bands from New Zealand are you listening to right now?
Kimbra is so hot right now, as well as Kids of 88 and old favourites like Shapeshifter. You're guaranteed to find a great local bar hosting a live band wherever you go, just keep an eye on their upcoming gigs. New Year's Eve is a bumper time to get your NZ music fix such as at the Coromandel Gold Festival in Whitianga or Rhythm 'n Vines down in Gisborne.
What are New Zealander's favourite passions and where would we go to experience them?
The kiwi passion goes beyond passion and more into obsession, for the game of rugby. The obsession reached fever pitch last year when the mighty All Blacks were crowned World cup champions! Rugby is played all over the country but no ground is more synonymous with the All Blacks than Eden Park in Auckland. Be sure to go to a game, and don't forget to wear black!

Maori Culture is such an important part of Kiwi life
Where could we go to find out about Maori culture?
Maori culture is a big part of New Zealand culture, it defines its people and its history. The cultural heart of Maori culture is in Waitangi, Northland, where the Treaty of Waitangi was signed in 1840. Rotorua is also a great place to experience Maori culture firsthand, as well as being a hub for activities like sky diving, the luge, rafting, zorbing and heaps more. You also have the chance to get up close to our geothermal lakes and geysers.
Where have you travelled outside of New Zealand?
I moved to Thailand when I was 16 and lived the expat life in Bangkok, quite an eye-opener coming from NZ! I returned home for university and made do with regular visits to Thailand (to see the parents, who live there still) before heading off to live in London for a few years. From there I visited Scotland and Wales, and did a two month Europe stint in a converted minibus with seven other friends covering France, Spain, Italy, Croatia, Belgium, Austria, Germany and the Netherlands.
I've also been to Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Indonesia and of course Australia.
I'm yet to tick off the Americas and Africa (and hopefully one day, Antarctica!) but hope to in the next few years. My next trip is to Fiji.

Longtime collaborators Trademark Da Skydiver and Young Roddy are like brothers, and on their new full-length collaborative project, Family Business, the duo gives their legions of diehard fans the album they've been waiting for. As prominent members of the Jet Life crew, Trademark and Young Roddy were prominently featured on every track on Jet World Order and Jet World Order 2, which were both massive independent successes. Throughout the years, they've also collectively worked with a large caliber of A-list artists including Curren$y, Dave East, ScHoolboy Q, Juvenile, Freddie Gibbs, Dizzy Wright, and Styles P, just to name a few. However, Family Business marks the first full-fledged collaborative album by the two New Orleans MCs.
On the melodically introspective track "Options," Trademark and Roddy are joined by Chicago lyricist Mick Jenkins. The three reflect on their struggles to make it in the game, with singer LeeLee Haxi on the hook of the Sk8 God-produced track.
Family Business features guest appearances from Kevin Gates, Cozz, Mick Jenkins, Smoke DZA, Le$, and LeeLee Haxi. Trademark Da Skydiver & Young Roddy's new album Family Business hits stores worldwide on December 2nd via The Barnes Corp / GOOD$ENSE / iHipHop Distribution.

Bonny Doon
Lynne Kiesling rediscovers the Bonny Doon winery:
Knowledge Problem: We rediscovered Bonny Doon this September, when we had a long weekend in the area. They are refreshing for lots of reasons: they don't take themselves too seriously, they make good wine that is good value for money, and they are embracing the screw top. Three for three!.... What an incredible wine for 13 bucks. It's a Sangiovese, but done in a new world, zinfandel style as befits its Monterey County origins.
Mark me down as not being enthusiastic about the screw-top.
Posted by DeLong at December 19, 2004 07:04 AM
Why don't you like the screw-top?
Honestly, it's far better than the cork, which is very old, unreliable technology. Something like 5% of wine goes off because the cork wasn't sufficiently sterile or didn't form a perfect seal. I know there's this whole aesthetic issue with the pop of the cork, but it's actually worse for the wine and the drinker than a screwtop is.
Posted by: paperwight at December 19, 2004 09:26 AM
the screw top may have a pejorative connotation in regards to wine, but as a preserver of wine in a bottle it far surpasses the efficency of the classic cork. high end producers of wine have slowly embraced the synthetic cork to preserve their investments, so the screw top may not be far behind, though there is a lot of cultural baggage to overcome. can you imagine the day that a sommelier sniffs the bottom of a screw top when he presents a $100 bottle? yeah, neither can i...
Posted by: lawrence at December 19, 2004 09:34 AM
Agreed. The screw cap is far superior from a sealing point of view. You might make an exception and want a real cork for some wine you are going to let sit in a mouldy old basement for 40 years before its "fit to drink", but for wines intended to be actually drunk and not sitting around looking pretty (and expensive), the screw cap is actually a superior choice.
I once bought a whole CASE which were improperly corked: an entire case of leaky bottles.
Posted by: Nicholas Weaver at December 19, 2004 09:35 AM
Brad -
Would you be able to tell in a blind tasting if a bottle had a cork or screw-top?
Of course not! Unless there were little bits of cork in the glass... :-)]
Posted by: wayne at December 19, 2004 09:53 AM
The problem with the screwtop is that sometimes the cap gets rotten or happens to be cut from a piece of low-density material, and when you remove it dozens of foul-tasting screwtop crumbs end up in the wine.
Posted by: Alex Merz at December 19, 2004 10:44 AM
So, screw-tops are technically far superior, ensuring that a wine won't undergo unexpected quality changes due to poor corking. Yet the aesthetic quality of corks are significant enough to consumers to keep a second-best solution in common use. (Suggested article title: "Homo Economus walks into a bar ....")
As for Bonny Doon, perhaps I should give them another try. A few years ago, I bought several bottles of their solo and Euro-partner wines, and while not strictly disappointed (after all, what do you expect for fifteen bucks?), I wasn't in a hurry to try them again. I think I still have a bottle or two of their Heart of Darkness 2001 Madiran -- they might be about ready by now.
Posted by: WatchfulBabbler at December 19, 2004 11:03 AM
Agreed, I'm partial to the cork and the vacuum pump to reseal, I'm sure that's not proper either. But the screw-top might be appreciated over time...4th or 5th bottle? That would be the blind taste test...but in that case opt to flip the tap on the box.
Posted by: jen at December 19, 2004 11:12 AM
Nothing to do with corks, but I hate those synthetic ones.
I was going to put this somewhere else but you disappeared the posting...to go is to come.
Posted by: cloquet at December 19, 2004 11:23 AM
Brad, do you also have a problem with screwtops on $100 bottles of whiskey...?
Posted by: ogmb at December 19, 2004 11:41 AM
(after all, what do you expect for fifteen bucks?) =======
Wow, how about an excellent bottle of wine from any country of origin except the U.S. of A.? What is with the US that our products invariably fall into one of two categories: cheap and unreliable, or world class and ridiculously overpriced? Any economic explanations?
Posted by: ogmb at December 19, 2004 11:45 AM
The good bonny Doon wine that I now is Cigare Volante, which I remember as a lot more than $15.00, but worth every penny (in this country, it's £24.00, which is not far south of $40.00). the cheaper wines were overpriced. And I did once visit the winery to check. Who could resist something called the critique of pure riesling?
Posted by: Andrew Brown at December 19, 2004 01:26 PM
Am I the only one around here that remembers Bonny Doon as a nude beach instead of a damn trendy winery?
Posted by: PigInZen at December 19, 2004 11:10 PM
Sommelier: "Would monsieur care to sniff the bottle cap?"
Posted by: rea at December 20, 2004 06:39 AM
I have had any number of excellent US wines for $15 and under-- although I don't really care for the Bonny Doon "Big House Red" or "Big House White." I *love* their dessert wines, "Vin de Glaciere" and the sparkling Moscato. The Framboise is OK but needs to be mixed with soda or a dry champagne.
For a great deal on US wine, try the Bogle chardonnay-- it's about $10 a bottle and tastes like maybe twice that. Coppola makes a $14-ish syrah that is quite excellent, if you like the Big Syrah Flavor thing.
[Oh yes. The Bonny Doon desert wines. Yes. Yes! YES!! YES!!!!]

Count me in for synthetic cork over screw tops, too. I relish every opportunity I have to use the Chateau Laguiole corkscrew I bought on my first trip to Paris.
I would direct folks to a photo of this fine instrument, but I may not access the Laguiole web site at work because SmartFilter (oh, the irony) classifies these makers of fine culinary instruments as a "Weapons/Mature" site.

The screwtop propaganda has got out of control.
Five per cent of bottles of wine are corked? This simply isn't true. It couldn't be, or nobody would drink wine. This would mean that if you drink five bottles a week, you'd expect to get a corked bottle every month. I don't know what the source is for this figure, but the screwtop industry seems to have got it into the mainstream.
And second, screwtops *do* taint the wine. There are two factors at work; first, you get a plastic taste from the sealing plastic itself, and second, the hermetic seal prevents the wine from aging in the normal manner. Brad is right on this one.

For shame, Brad. Talk to somebody who brews and bottles his own beer (and wine), sometime.
The only reason to use cork anymore is this: you are still bending over backward in deference to all those elitist snobs who regard everything else as an attack on the traditional (and anti-reasonable) forms of conservative aristocracy.
And no, the hermetic seal does *not* prevent wine from aging normally— not any more than a wax-over-cork seal prevents wine from aging.
Embrace the Stelvin™ closure. Progress is progressive. Give Bonny Doon Vineyards the props they deserve for raising a one-finger salute to the WineAristocracy™.

Bonny Doon's Big Red is a great, low cost wine. Earthier than the Australian shirazs, which I also love, and extremely drinkable. As for the Stelvin cap, it's not your father's screw-top Boonesfarm. Educate yourself, young Brad, you will not be sorry if you do!
Posted by: Jennifer at December 20, 2004 06:42 PM
I've not seen Cigare Volant on the shelves in ages, alas; nor Old Telegram, nor have I seen the amazing Bonny Doon Cassis and Framboise. Grahm has also been doing some roving winemaking in France: Domaine des Blagueurs is a very good example of the funky vin de pays from the south, since it takes its grapes from the astonishing Borie de Maurel vineyards.
(Still, I have my annual supply from Sean Thackrey, the best small-scale winemaker in the world, to my reckoning. With corks.)
Frankly, we won't know if screwcaps/hermetic sealing affect aging until they start screwcapping massive, give-em-15 reds. And since Grange or Cheval Blanc aren't going to try it... well, it'll take a brave maker of age-till-it-hurts reds to put it to the test.
"Brad, do you also have a problem with screwtops on $100 bottles of whiskey...?"
Um, whisk(e)y, like all distilled spirits, doesn't age in bottle. And I suspect the alcohol content is sufficient to kill off most airborne nasties, too.
Oh, and the main reason why the sommellier sniffs the cork is to check for the musty sulphuric odour that's the mark of a corked wine.

I've been (kind of) keeping a secret.
So I feel like I've been lying to you guys for the past few years (or at least a lie by omission)... people who know me in real life know this about me, but those out there in the online community may not have realized that I am in fact, NOT a full-time artist. Since graduating college, I've consistently maintained a part-time job while painting part-time. But that all changes now -- I have left my part-time position to be a full-time artist! (well, full-time mom, too. But I'll get to that in a bit.)
I have been so, so blessed to work for incredible companies that have been some of the biggest cheerleaders in supporting my art career. From my very first job out of college, I have been very intentional with where I chose to work-- seeking places that would inspire me, teach me, and respect my desire to pursue art. Initially working at the coolest art center in Southern Maryland -- shout out to the crew at Annmarie Sculpture Garden and Arts Center!! The hours were long, the pay was little, but it fed my creative soul and built many relationships I still have today -- in fact, they even invited me to be a juror and curate a "Sky" inspired show last year!
Since then I have worked in a bit of a different field, Accounting! (I was an art major in college, but also minored in Mathematics, and am kinda a numbers and spreadsheets nerd!) Working for the hippest company in my hometown -- a holdings company that owns a marketing and design firm, movie theaters, and most recently opened a restaurant. HighRock Group has been those cool kids I always hoped would invite me to sit at their lunch table, and finally two years ago the perfect opportunity arose to join their team. Their entrepreneurial spirit has taught me so much these past two years, and fed my soul as a business owner.
Up until this point, I have always felt balanced and inspired by both worlds of art and accounting -- the colorful, open-endedness of painting against the black and white of numbers and spreadsheets made sense to me. It was a balance I felt comfortable with (but perhaps stagnant in.) But now enter a little boy named Edward Avery, and that whole balance gets flipped upside down. To be a good mom, I just know I can't make all three work, which has helped make this decision to leave my job that much easier. Logistically to make mom/artist life work, we have chosen a daycare provider for Ward three days a week, to give me solid studio time. The other days of the week, I'm going to leave flexible as baby time at home, and some days bringing him into the studio with me depending on my projects/commitments at the time.
I am now over six years into this art journey, since graduating college, and am just now taking the leap to full-time. I have slowly, but steadily grown my online presence and community of collectors and have reached a point financially where I feel confident (with a whole lot of anxiety thrown in) that I can make this work and contribute to my household.
I really believe you DON'T have to be a starving artist to follow your passion; you just need to be strategic in the decisions you make, keep art a priority, but also be realistic. Over the next few months I'll be using this blog to write more on my path to this point in my career -- I'm afraid there's no get rich quick secrets, but I'll share a few tricks of the trade and what's made the most impact for me.
As always, THANK YOU for coming along on this journey. It's all only possible because of you guys! Comment below with any specific art/business questions you'd like me to answer on this blog platform. (I'm going to *try* to blog weekly!)
with love, Allie.

Dog Shaming
Posted: November 02, 2016
I am a total dog lover, so naturally one of my favorite time-wasting activities is laughing at hilarious "dog shaming" photos on the internet.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, "dog shaming" photos are pictures where a dog owner takes a photo of their guilty dog wearing a sign around his neck announcing his shameful action(s). Trust me, they are a hoot!
The offenses include but are not limited to: shamelessly stealing food, destroying toilet paper rolls or children's stuffed animals, eating lipstick tubes, socks, money, legos, glitter or just anything else, and doing things to embarrass their owner such as eating a child's ice cream out of their hands at the park. I literally LOL every time I look at "dog shaming" photos!
But let's get real for a second. When we get to Heaven, the Bible says we will have to give an account for our actions on earth. And while dog-shaming is hysterical and harmless, what if the account of our shameful deeds on earth wasn't so hysterical?
Now I'm certainly not trying to bring condemnation for errors in the past. We are all sinners who have failed, but thank God for Jesus, and for his saving work on the cross that removed our sins from us as far as the east is from the west!
Because of God's grace through our faith, we are assured our place in heaven.
But what I am trying to say is, as you move forward in life your actions will impact what's written on the sign around your neck at the Judgment Seat of Christ. I want my sign to display good deeds, faithfulness and obedience, so I will be rewarded in heaven!
What will the sign around your neck say?
"For we must all stand before Christ to be judged. We will each receive whatever we deserve for the good or evil we have done in this earthly body."
- 2 Corinthians 5:10 NLT
Lord, thank you for your grace and mercy that remove my sin. Help me to live my life with Heaven in mind, so that I can stand before you at the Judgment Seat of Christ and hear, "well done, good and faithful servant." In Jesus' name, amen.

As you are hiring, are you planning for individualized support for new employees?
Laurie King
Your hiring process is designed to find the best fit for your open positions, but we don't always find the perfect candidate.
As you hire, consider what information you can gather to support the less-than-ideal-candidate who your team still decides to hire. At the end of the interview process, match up the new-hire's areas of growth with a staff member who has strengths in this area. With reference checks, do you ask what support would most positively impact this employee's quality? If a new hire is coming from out of town, do you have someone on staff who would enjoy sharing thoughts about neighborhoods, places to live, and restaurants? With Individualized Support Plans for new hires, your less-than-ideal candidate may grow into high quality members of your team.

This was definitely my favorite day of the trip. Though we did not go to as many individual places, the places we did go to meant more to me personally and had more of an impact than the places on the other days did. It was also bittersweet being the last scheduled day of the trip because I couldn't believe we only had the free day left afterwards. The trip seemed to go by so fast and I wasn't ready for it to be over yet.
The International School of Film and TV was incredible and I am so tempted to try and go there some day. The Steven Spielberg quote that he wrote on the wall was one of my favorite parts since he's one of my favorite directors, but everything about that school sounded fantastic to me. It was also breathtakingly beautiful and there was green everywhere. I was impressed by the studio and their ability to build sets to use for filming. I also liked the class sizes. There were only five or six students per discipline per year. I think that would be so great because you form a great team with your classmates. I also like that it wasn't too far from Havana to go to other things from time to time.
ICAP was also very interesting because I didn't know what to expect going into it. It definitely ended up being one of the more valuable parts of the trip to be able to speak candidly and ask questions about Cuba and the relationship between Cuba and the United States. I learned more in that one meeting than I did during our unit on Cuba in my IB History class in high school. I feel like I am more prepared to discuss my experiences in Cuba and the country in general after that meeting. I feel let down by the American education system because it is ridiculous that the American people know so little about a country that is so close to us. I think that if we were better educated on the subject then we would be able to handle the relationship between the two countries in a much more appropriate and healthy manner.
The movie on day six was my favorite of the narrative films. Despite Sergio and Sergei
not having English subtitles for parts of it, I was able to understand most of what was happening. The occasional English scenes with Ron Perlman and AJ Buckley definitely helped, though. Once again, there were a few plot lines that didn't seem to really relate to the main story, like when Sergio and his neighbor started making rum. However, I thought this story was the most unique of any we had seen and I thought the interaction between the main characters was especially interesting since it is entirely over radio and they never actually meet in person. Despite this, each interaction was genuine and remained interesting. The characters sometimes moved around while they talked, so it kept the visual interest up.

This is a good question, but it is by no means a simplistic one. What does the Bible say about the refugee crisis? Well, it's complicated.
Sarah McCammon from NPR covered a story entitled, "What Does the Bible Say About Refugees? Depends Who You Ask." In this piece, she mentions how divided evangelical Christians are on this moral question.
One of the things that surprised me about McCammon's take on this issue was how familiar the argument went. A majority of evangelicals and conservatives in the U.S. are in favor of bringing over more refugees, but there is little to no discussion over what to do with refugees once they are here.
This conversation sounds familiar, doesn't it?
The same majority group is in favor of saving the unborn and also views abortion as a great evil. I agree, but I do find it interesting (and inconsistent) when we urge for a moral good and then don't follow through with it—all the way.
If we are pro-life, we should not only be in favor of preventing or stopping abortions, we should also be in favor of adoption—not just the "idea" of it (for example, "I really think that it's good for you to adopt, but I could never do that.")—but Christians ought to put this idea into practice. Otherwise, we are not truly pro-life.
Back to the issue at hand. If we are going to welcome thousands of refugees from Syria or anywhere else, then we would also need to consider ways in which we can open up our own homes—or come together to pay for housing for some of them—as Christians. Something like this would seem to be the consistent (and moral) position for those who are advocates.
The Bible doesn't have anything to say about the specific refugee crisis that we face. I do not mean that it has nothing to say about loving our neighbors. The Bible clearly teaches love for neighbor that especially applies to the marginalized in any and every society (foreigners and orphans and widows and even Samaritans are among those whom we should care for, so it's no stretch to include Syrian refugees!). See: Exodus 23:9, Leviticus 19:33-34, Ezekiel 16:49, Matthew 25:25-36, or Luke 10:29-37, for examples.
Here is what I do mean though. As soon as we argue that loving our neighbor requires such action—we could just as easily argue that putting our current neighbors into harms way for the sake of inviting others into our country is unloving. To love our current neighbors, we must protect them from unnecessary threats of violence.
In either case, appealing to the Golden Rule does nothing to resolve the starting question. So what does the Bible say about the refugee crisis? Like I said, it's complicated.

If there was ever any doubt that the "maker movement" has taken hold, look no further than that the White House – the very seat of power in the free world – was the latest to host a Maker Faire.
Exhibits at the event featured a 17-foot tall robotic giraffe, a 3D pancake printer, laser cutters, desktop machine tools, and lots of other great things brought people who love to "make stuff."
President Obama released a statement yesterday about the National Day of Making, praising the tradition of American innovation and technological breakthroughs and stating the Administration's intent to create an environment that inspires creation and forward-thinking ideas:
"Together, let us unleash the imagination of our people, affirm that we are a Nation of makers, and ensure that the next great technological revolution happens right here in America."
Check out a great post on the White House blog, including video, tweets and more that recap why it's great to be a #NationOfMakers!
