Last Thursday, Amuse Society hosted an event at one of our favorite spots in Orange County, The Shop, in Laguna Beach to celebrate their new 'shop-in-shop' inside the boutique. It's essentially a little Amuse shop within The Shop. Attendees of the 'See Ya, Summer!' event were among the first able to shop Amuse's Holiday '17 Collection, and enjoy beauty treatments, live music, drinks, and desserts along with blogger, Sivan Ayla.
If you didn't have a chance to make it out last week, be sure to head to The Shop and see the all new Amuse build out + shop it for yourself!

Wow, my heart was beating really fast just reading your blog, so I can't imagine how scary it must have been to actually witness the drama unfolding! I really hope that the white lionesses don't get hurt.
NIce write up Chad...sure hope the males aren't trying to kill them because of coat colour...from my experience of lions in the Sabi Sands, it seems as though the females are only recognized for mating potential around 3 years old and animals younger than this are targeted to be killed...pity the males dont see the long term benefits of having them around!! Hope theyre alright but at least they are very mobile and of some size now so they have a fighting chance!!ReplyDelete
Heart stopping report!ReplyDelete
What a story!!!
Hope they are alright and run for safety as much as they can.
What a fantastic day amazing adventure. Keep it coming.

The application window for Global English Camp 2019 IS closed. We encourage you to apply in Fall, 2019 for the 2020 program.
Program Overview
Global English Camp is a program dedicated to the importance of gaining an unparalleled life opportunity via cross-cultural education. Through an intensive weekly program focused not only on language but also relevant global issues, university students and recent graduates from around the world facilitate the improvement of expressing opinions in English and impact students' discovery of their individual life missions. During the five week program, interns gain more than a stimulating teaching experience; they also gain new perspectives, knowledge, and friendships from this unforgettable summer program.
Interns facilitate themed discussion sessions in a classroom setting with 1-6 Japanese students. The program also offers optional activities throughout the program both after classes and on the weekends. Although this is an unpaid internship, the sponsor provides certain expenses for each intern who participates.
Program Dates
This year we have two sets of program dates: July 12th - August 18th, and July 19th - August 25th.
Weekly Curriculum
The first week of the program will consist of a retreat, training and orientation followed by 4-5 one-week classes to different groups of high school students. There may be some changes to the 2019 curriculum, but below are some of the topics that may be discussed in the classroom.
2020 Tokyo Olympics
United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
Life Mission
Regional Revitalisation, Social Media, Entrepreneurship
Presentation and discussion on intern chosen field of study and university
City Placement
Interns are placed in one or multiple major cities throughout Japan depending on high school student demand. Tokyo, Yokohama and Kyoto/Osaka/Nara are primary base locations. Others are added during the high school student registration process. Some interns travel to areas outside of Tokyo/Osaka or commute daily from their home base city. Interns spend at least the first week of the program in either Tokyo or Osaka for training. Global English Camp does not place interns in a rural areas for the entire length of the program unless demand permits and intern allows. Some interns may have the opportunity to travel to multiple locations.
Interns do not know their city placement until 7-30 days before the program start date. We also do not guarantee location and/or travel preferences. All interns receive their arrival city prior to confirming a plane tickets (most likely Tokyo). Additionally, some interns experience changes in summer itinerary before and/or during the programs due to Japanese students' summer vacations starting in mid to late July; many do not sign up for English Camp until summer vacation. Interns must be willing to be flexible and adapt and excel to changes in scheduling.
This map shows locations that participated in the Global English Camp program.
Program Requirements
English: Native level English ability.
Age: at least 18 years or older by the program start date.
Background Check: Interns are required to provide a clear criminal background prior to being approved to purchase plane ticket.
Character Reference: At least one character reference letter requested and reviewed during the onboarding process.
Valid Passport (through 2019): If not a U.S., U.K., or Canadian Citizen, a visa may be required. We can assist; however, we are not responsible for the outcome of any given visa, nor can we guarantee approval.
Transcript: Official copy of certified university transcript is requested during the onboarding process.
Health: Intern must be in good physical and mental health prior to departing for Japan. This program is intensive and can be stressful. Schedules can change, so we are looking for interns that can adapt and excel.
Contract: After final acceptance, students are required to submit a signed contract and complete all onboarding procedures through Come On Out.
Airline Ticket Deposit: We require each accepted intern to pay a security deposit of $500/£350 (or USD currency equivalent where your university is located) at time of airline ticket purchase. This is paid directly to the travel agency using a debit or credit card. The airline ticket deposit is returned to each intern within 45 days of the program end date as long as the intern completes the program, has no damage or cleaning required to residence while in Japan, and completes our final program report.
What is provided:
Round-Trip Airfare: with limitations and procedures. There is a $500 USD / home country currency equivalent airline ticket deposit at time of purchase. Deposit is returned within 45 days of completion of program. Come On Out pays the remainder of the ticket price up to our ticket cap. This cap will be confirmed by December 31st, 2018.
Housing: Shared housing, dorm rooms, home stays, shared apartments, shared lofts, hotels, and guest houses may be utilized (additional fee required for individual apartments). Available housing is generally smaller and different than what is available in most western countries. We do our best to provide safe and clean housing options; however, it may not suit the needs of all interns. If you have concerns about housing, interns will be given the opportunity to find and pay for your own housing at request.
Transportation: Round trip local transportation to and from class (and airports when traveling to school venues). It is important to pack light as many interns will be traveling for at least part of the summer. Although we cover expenses for luggage on airplane travel, we do not cover the cost of shipping luggage throughout Japan.
Food: Food reimbursement is provided for class days attended.
Activities: All activities provided by the program are optional. Field trips, program retreat, overnight trip, Japanese language classes, language exchanges, and other events are provided and subsidized.
Health Insurance: A premium health insurance package is provided. Depending on your personal situation, you may need additional coverage. See insurance summary below for additional information regarding health insurance.
Program Partners
The Global English Camp program is coordinated by 3 companies with a passion for education.
Program Coordinator
Come On Out - Japan brings together all aspects of the program so that mentors may have the most optimal experience abroad. We cooperate with universities and students, searching for ideal candidates that will ensure the program's success. We work directly with accepted candidates to provide a smooth onboarding process and ensure their goals are met during the program.
Program Sponsor
Toshin High School, a division of Nagase Brothers Inc., is the program sponsor and educational coordinator for the Japanese high school students. They are in charge of the English Camp curriculum and oversee day-to-day classroom operations.
Program Coordinator
Come on UP handles housing and ground support. They provide interns with local support and coordinate Japanese language and classes, as well as manage other special events, weekend trips, and reimbursement finances.

My little Sweet Pea has been here for the past few weeks. We have had loads of fun and made just as many memories. Sweet Pea loves to watch the Food Network and is constantly coming up with new recipes, like her special "Veggie Pizzaz"! Our trip to the library resulted in a cookbook entitled, "Mom and Me Cookbook" by DK Books. She picked out the recipe she wanted to make, and we began...

iKey 4+
Plum Amazing Software LLC
- $29.99
iKey allows creation of shortcuts that perform an action or sequence of actions each of which can be launched by key combinations or menu or event. This easy to use macro/automation utility can save time, typing and hundreds of clicks everyday. Do less and accomplish more. Avoid carpal tunnel, get more accomplished and have fun with iKey. An excellent manual written by Adam Engst* is included.
Try before you buy. Download the full version of iKey on our site:
"Since I started using iKey, this gem has saved me up to an hour a week using shortcuts. Overall, I found the iKey to be reliable and very easy to use. For those looking for an affordable solution to creating shortcuts in Mac OS X, I highly recommend taking a look at iKey."
-- James Richvalsky of Mac-Guild.org gave iKey 4.5 out of 5 mice
Check out iKey page which includes links to the manual:
iKey lets you create shortcuts these are an action or series of actions just like you would perform on the Mac like:
Application - Launch, quit, hide, and switch among applications
Clipboard - Cut, copy, paste, and work with text on the clipboard
Document - Open documents
Folder - Show the contents of folders
iKey - Control iKey itself
Internet - Create email and visit URLs
Keyboard - Press keys and type text
Menu - Choose items from menus
Mouse - Simulate mouse movements, clicks, and scroll wheel actions
Network - Change network settings and mount servers
Printer - Select printers and print documents
Script - Run AppleScript scrips
Sound - Play sounds
System - Perform basic system tasks like sleeping, ejecting discs, invoking the screen saver, and more
Unix - Run collections of Unix commands
Utility - Wait for certain things to be true before continuing
Window - Open, close, move, resize, scroll, and switch among windows
In fact any repetitive action or series of actions you perform on the Mac can be performed by iKey.
Shortcuts can then be triggered by what are called Launchers which can be:
- a hotkey
- click from any usb mouse, trackball, gamepad and/or keyboard.
- menu selection
- and/or a programmed time/date.
- a system or network event.
So with one key press you can perform actions that take hundreds of keypresses, typing, clicking, and dragging. These actions can be performed much faster by iKey then you could do them by hand.
iKey is for everyone power users to beginning Mac users.
Are you a slave to your computer?
We love our computers, but we are all too familiar with the fatigue of repetitive tasks. We know computers are very capable of dealing with repitition, but there has been no easy way, up until now to collect them and pass them on to the computer to perform. Now, luckily on the Mac there is iKey. Free your self from the ball and chain of repetitive drudgery. Rule your computer, don't be a slave anymore use iKey.
A simple example of how iKey can save you time!
Say you open Safari each day and go to the same 8 websites and then copy some text which you email to someone. Instead of performing this same task each day for 15 mins with typing and clicking and opening and closing applications do it with iKey via one hotkey or menu item and let it work in the background while you do some other work or have a cup of tea. Seriously, why sacrifice your life to monotonous repetitive actions when your computer can do them for you.
* Adam C. Engst is the author of the "Take Control of iKey" Manual. His manual helps you install iKey and provides a step by step usage tutorial for this essential software.
Adam started the TidBits newsletter and has written numerous technical books, including the best-selling Internet Starter Kit series, and many magazine articles.
Ratings and Reviews
Its ok when it works
I can get iKeys to do repetive tasks, but the software appears to get confused and starts to perform steps out of sequence. A moment ago it started deleting some short cuts that I made. Now it wont even run. I was just on the web page, it appears that they are going to start charging $10 for updates….I'ld like to see the software work like it appears in the window.
I cannot get it to press control-command-1 in mail. I only need it to create shortcuts for filing mail to my favorites folders and it does not work correctly. I can get it to recognize it from the menu, but that's not reliable if the folder names change. Useless software for me until that is fixed. I prefer to use apps formthe app store, but I have to go back to using Quickeys.
Really would like an update
The editor chashes upon launch. Can't do anything and am bummed I spent money on this app...

10-Year-Old Stands Outside Her School Alone. This Is WhyNewser — Neal Colgrass
Delilah Matrese wanted to protest, but apparently no one would join her. The 10-year-old student at Hamilton Elementary in Carlisle, Penn., wasn't able to attend the last school walkout demanding gun control—the one involving 2,500 schools around the US—"so she begged us to let her do this one," her mom Melissa Matrese tells CNN.
With no other students or faculty joining her, Melissa's husband Stephen went down to the school. On Friday the pair stood alone on school grounds for about half an hour with Delilah holding a sign that showed rifle rounds with the words, "not school supplies," per PennLive.
Melissa tweeted a photo of her daughter's protest and wrote in response to tweeters that Delilah had picked gun control as the topic for her independent project at school, but wanted to walk out "because the whole point is to DO something, not just write a paper." And Delilah wasn't alone in being alone: The News & Observer reports that 16-year-old Justin Blackman walked out of his North Carolina high school by himself last week, while WJLA says 7-year-old Havana Chapman-Edwards did the same outside Fort Hunt Elementary School in Virginia on National School Walkout Day.
"It really sank my heart to pieces," says Havana, but her mom was inspired by Havana and snapped photos of her that are posted at WJLA.
Then, a Hit on Her Back

Thanks to modern technology it is becoming increasingly easier to search and find candidates that match the skills, qualifications and experience required for a role i.e. the 'hard skills' but what about the so called 'soft skills'? It's easy to forget these hidden factors such as social cohesion, personality alignment and interpersonal value tolerances. Whilst a candidate may have the necessary hard skills to fulfil the role it is also important to find out if they have the soft skills required to fit in with your organisation's culture.
There are a variety of personality tests available to assess candidates. At Solve. we use the Thomas International PPA test to assess candidates work behaviours. The PPA can also be used to indicate the impact that a candidate may have on an existing team i.e. what will they bring to the team and will they fit in.
By assessing soft skills as well as hard skills an organisation will benefit in a variety of ways:
1. Creates a more cohesive team that work well together.
2. Better staff retention
3. Reduced recruitment costs as result of having to recruit less frequently
4. Greater job satisfaction for employees
5. Improved efficiencies
6. Decrease in ER issues


text: Students, especially adult learners, often start the course with expectations that are far from realistic. Do they want to speak English perfectly? Take a difficult international examination? When adjusting expectations, don't emphasize what they won't be able to do. Instead, focus on what they will accomplish. Bring their expectations down a notch and express them as realistic goals.

Surgical technologists are support personnel in the operating room who hand tools, instruments and supplies to the surgeon, assist with patient positioning and clean up after the operation. They wear protective equipment such as sterile gowns, face masks and goggles during operations to protect them from injuries or body fluids. Some wear makeup in the operating room.
Makeup is OK
Although makeup is not contraindicated because of medical practice issues such as infection, surgical techs may sweat under the mask and goggles, which could smear makeup or make it run. Artificial or long fingernails -- while not technically makeup -- are typically forbidden because of infection issues. Some educational institutions or health care organizations may have dress code requirements about the amount of makeup a surgical tech can wear while on duty. Those who violate policies may be forbidden to wear makeup.
2016 Salary Information for Surgical Technologists
Surgical technologists earned a median annual salary of $45,160 in 2016, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. On the low end, surgical technologists earned a 25th percentile salary of $36,980, meaning 75 percent earned more than this amount. The 75th percentile salary is $55,030, meaning 25 percent earn more. In 2016, 107,700 people were employed in the U.S. as surgical technologists.

People call sheriff's office believing Jupiter might be UFO
PORT ANGELES, Wash. - Clallam County Undersheriff Ron Peregrin says his dispatchers received several early morning calls from folks worried that a shiny object in the dark sky might be a UFO.
He says staffers grabbed their binoculars and were able to reassure the Thursday morning callers that the object was just Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system.
Jupiter has been dramatically big and bright in the night sky in recent days. Last week it passed 368 million miles from Earth, its closest approach since 1963.

I wrote a really good post about this on Instagram which inspired this blog post.
Keeping in line with our October theme BARE SCARE - Let's talk about the fear of Change. Why are people afraid of change? And those who aren't afraid of change, how can they still sometimes inappropriately handle it when it comes?
I have found there are a few different reasons people are afraid of change and I wont go over all of them in this blog-post but these are some common ones that stand out and what you can do to better deflect the fear.
We live our life and get comfortable in our daily routine. When that routine is upset, it messes up our mental train of thought in our productivity mindset. We literally chalk it up to make it feel like walking off a cliff, without putting common sense behind it. If you walk off a cliff, no matter what happens you are going to hit the ground. Meaning, you know what's going to happen in the end. It's the in-between you are afraid of. If you look at your fear of the unknown the same way, it will be less scary. For example; when change strikes and you're afraid of what's going to happen next..look at the situation as no matter what happens, it will all be okay. When you put your energy there, the in-between becomes less terrifying and you find yourself more willing to walk off that cliff. Because regardless you'll land on your own two feet.
We human's hate when things happen that are out of our control. And when change happens, it often times comes at the most inconvenience of times. We reject it because that means we are forfeiting control to something we don't quite understand yet. Until we understand it, we will be at its mercy. Change may remove control of a given situation but it doesn't remove choice. You still have a choice you can make on whether or not your next decision will be the right one for you. If you remove the attention from being in control all the time and just focus that attention on making the right decisions during the transition, this fear of loosing control will be less intimidating.
Change is rejected when people feel they can not succeed given their new situation or circumstance. They will use any excuse to avoid it. But at the end of the day it's a hidden fear that their talent or skill set might not be enough to complete the task and render them obsolete. To avoid falling into this fear, constantly learn. Invest your time in becoming fully aware of your skill set as well as your self. Be the catalysis to do something different in your skill set, just to ensure that when great change comes, you have created mechanisms to handle it. It will better prepare you for when change does occur.
Now lets shift our focus to those who love change and embrace it whole heartily. Even though they love it, some times they embrace it inappropriately. Believe it or not, fear is still a factor here. Just because you see something coming doesn't always mean you know what to do with it when it arrives.
This person uses change as a fear of the constant. The moment routine sets in they lose value in or excitement in their lives. Fear of depression often causes habitual change, because you feel you will grow tired of a person, job or lifestyle. So you constantly need to change it so you feel fresh. I challenge you to instead of changing it, look at it and make it new again. This is necessary in order to have any strong commitment to anything. Everything becomes routine, but you will find that there is an excitement in finding new ways to make something old feel new again.
This is a person that makes every decision emotionally. Change is coming their way each and every day, but although they are embracing it...every decision is made off of emotion and not logical thinking. For example, well, I'm not happy so that means I need to change my relationship. Emotions can be great and it's a wonderful thing to allow yourself to be vulnerable. Especially when it comes to change. But when making decisions for your life. It is better to leave emotions at the door. Emotions often time make us do things we later regret, and have become the catalysis for changes we did not want or have to have. So this person who stays constant in the fact that their life is always changing, and stays emotional, should learn that although the change is great, it's not a good or healthy change, it's just another form of fear. Fear of facing the hardship and working through it in hopes of a brighter future.
This is that person that whenever change strikes, they focus all their time and energy on that change. Pretty much becoming tunnel visioned to the rest of the world. The person who focuses all their attention on the change they are experiencing, often times lets other parts of their life faultier. It's like a garden. Just because you decide to plant a new fruit doesn't mean you should neglect all the other fruit. If you do that you will never have a garden. Just a plant. If that plant should die than you will have nothing. Sorry to be morbid but I say this with LOVE because when change occurs it's great, but focus your energy on smoothly transitioning that change into your routine to not derail your future but strengthen in.
I personally love change, and I am going through so many changes myself. I am learning so much and really put my nose deep in self help. I came across the stuff and topics above from some self help I was doing and thought it was so interesting that I wanted to share it with you guys! I hope it helped and you learned something new!
Unexpected moments can change your life, if you're ready for them.

The news has been dominated for several days by a sports story that has become bigger than the sports world. Jerry Sandusky was arrested on 40 counts of sexual abuse of young boys over a 15 year period. These are some of my thoughts:
- In the blink of an eye the media will be gone but the people and the scars will remain. For most of America this is just a story in an ongoing news cycle that will remain front page until the next disaster, tragedy, trial, election, scandal, etc happens. Just go back and you'll see what I mean. Think of the stories that were on every news show, in every paper, on every blog - that once they cycled out we cease to care about them. In one sense it is nice to be connected and to have a "smaller world", in another it tends to make us more disconnected with those closest to us and connected to those we can do virtually nothing to help other than grieve a grief they never know is being grieved for them. Live zoo animals released in Ohio gives way to Michael Jackson's doctors trial, gives way to the latest gap by a Republican political campaign, to a weather event in New York. to the NBA lockout...where are they now? When's the last time you heard something on Tuscaloosa, on the Japan nuclear reactors, etc, etc, etc. Having been on the other side of these stories (we've all been) a few times it is painful to realize that long after the cameras have gotten interested in a sexier story and the American public has lost interest in this one, long after they've interviewed every man, woman, plant and animal within 100 miles of Happy Valley who will allow themselves to be on a screen the pain of the abused will remain.
- We all fall: We don't want to believe it but we all do. The bigger the personality or institution the bigger the bombshell. If it'd been a little league in a small town it wouldn't have dominated the headlines for a week now. If I'd asked you to list the top 10 people involved in sports that you'd least expected to be involved in a scandal, if you didn't list JoPaw, when someone else did, you would have agreed. He was "legendarily" squeaky clean. The Big Ten will play it's first conference championship in two weeks and the trophy was named after him (a reminder from Dennis Loyd to me years ago: never name something after someone still alive). Joe Paterno? It struck me, even his house was humble. But we shouldn't be shocked - God told us this 2,000 years ago (Romans 3:23).
- Will we ever learn to stop putting people on pedestals. Love them, respect them, learn from them but never worship them.
- Pedophiles will gravitate to where kids are: Little leagues, schools, churches and civic organizations are full of Jerry Sandusky's. The problem is they are nigh unto impossible to spot. Sandusky is a respected two time assistant national coach of the year, he and his wife have adopted six children and he started a program to help underprivileged children. Yes, pedophiles gravitate to where kids are - but so do people who genuinely have a heart for helping children! A single male friend of mine serves on a camp board and owns his own business - that doesn't mean he is guilty of anything. Don't let the Sandusky's of the world make you become a cynic.
- I am confused: Joe Paterno, the AD, the President all resigned. What about the police who interviewed and found he was guilty, the parents who decided not to pursue it, the janitors, the other coaches???
- I want to say that this most should be a wake up call to each of us that we too can fall (1 Corinthians 10:12). You never get to big, old, popular, respected to keep satan from pursuing you - he's a lion, a snake, a liar, and he doesn't play by the rules. Do not be ignorant of his devices (2 Corinthians 2:11). he knows your vice and is determined to use it to harm your family, reputation, ministry, faith, record. A winner can become a loser in the blink of an eye. We all need grace and mercy for we are all human.

Our Fleet
At JFS Travel we believe quality is key. For that reason we have chosen to operate a fleet of exclusively Mercedes Benz coaches.
Each coach is fitted to an "executive" specification. We offer reclining seats, full climate control, hot drink facilities and WC on board. Our coaches also boast large luggage space perfect for trips away, or transfers to ports.
The most important part of any reputable coach company should be their approach to safety. We enjoy a perfect "double green light" record with VOSA/DVSA on all annual testing.
Our modern fleet of coaches are maintained by our own workshop staff. This enables us to keep a close eye on all of our vehicles. Each coach undergoes a strict safety inspection every 21/28 days (depending on how busy it's been!).
As well as regular maintenance inspections, our drivers each carry out "defect checks" before and after their working day and if a defect is found, it is reported and fixed immediately. When repair is needed, we use only genuine parts.
On board our coaches you can have peace of mind that you and your group are safe. We provide modern, well maintained vehicles driven by professional drivers. All coach movements are monitored by staff to ensure eco-safe driving.

You've probably heard the following quote attributed to John Wanamaker,
"Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is I don't know which half."
While that may have been true for John, that doesn't have to be the case anymore. When Google AdWords is set up correctly, it's possible to see exactly which ads are wasting money and which are driving the best ROI, especially for e-commerce businesses.
The problem is that many businesses run ads without AdWords set up correctly. And when that's the case, I can safely guarantee a large percentage of the ad budget is being wasted.
In today's case study you'll see a classic example of what happens with, versus without, Google AdWords conversion tracking. The difference is quite remarkable.
The Background
We started working with an e-commerce business in the scaffolding industry in February 2017. This business was already advertising in Google AdWords and they came to us for help because they were not happy with their results to date.
When we reviewed their account, we immediately saw a problem. They had installed basic conversion tracking so they knew the number of sales each month from Google AdWords, but they didn't know the actual revenue from those sales!
In other words, they were trying to optimize the ads as if every sale was worth the same amount for their business. Now, that would be OK if all of their products were the same price, but their products ranged from a hundred dollars to thousands of dollars. That's a big difference when it comes to calculating your ROI from AdWords.
Understandably, our client was not sure about how to improve performance because of the lack of proper conversion tracking data. And that led to inaction and incorrect action…
The One Small Change That Led To Big Improvements
Let's take a look at the graph of Cost versus Total Conversion Value from February 2016 to September 2017.
As you can see, our client did not have revenue tracking before we started working together so they were forced to treat all conversions equally. Then, in February 2017, you see the red line shoots up because we installed revenue tracking that month.
Look closely at what happened after February 2017. I told you it would be remarkable :)
In February 2017, our client spent $11,016 and generated $48,535 in revenue. We obviously don't know what happened in the previous months, but it's safe to say the results were similar since our client wasn't happy.
Then, after February 2017 you see the red line steadily climbs up to $87,628 in September 2017. That's an increase of 81%!
But that's not all…
Look at the blue line, cost, after February 2017. You see that line steadily decreases to $8,100. That's a decrease of 36% in ad costs that generated 81% more revenue! You might want to read that again so it sinks in :)
Our client in September generated 81% more revenue from their ad campaigns by spending 36% less. Sorry, not sorry, Google!
What Was the Secret to These Results?
Here's the best part about this case study. At this point you're probably thinking that we did some complex multi-variate split testing, along with sophisticated bid optimization algorithms…
Sure, we did all the ad management best practices and that contributed to the overall success, but the real secret to this account's success was so simple I'm almost embarrassed to admit it. The big improvements were made by turning off "losing" campaigns and investing more money into the "winning" campaigns.
That's it. That's the secret to optimizing Google AdWords campaigns.
Forget what John Wanamaker said because that quote is no longer valid in our world today. If you're wasting half of your budget, then you absolutely can determine which half by installing proper conversion tracking.
Once you do, and you know exactly which keywords and ads are driving leads and sales, then the rest is fairly simple to maximize your return on investment.

The message of empowering women to be who they are created to be, inside-out, has never been as apparent as it was this past Tuesday. As if a photo shoot alone is not exciting enough, our 3rd quarter issue shoot is full of surprises. From landing strips to high fashion designs, here is a behind the scenes look at all of the fun!
The early morning started with the smell of coffee in the air and our models arriving and being quickly set up for hair and makeup. Fashionably Austin's very own Cheryl Bemis and Adored Austin blogger Indiana Adams were two of our lovely back to basics models. Models Callisto Griffith, AJ Knight, and Latrese Smith were our high fashion models. After our amazing beauty team did their magic, the models were taken to one of the biggest highlights of the shoot. The location for our shoot was Breakaway Park, a highly successful airstrip surrounded by personal aircraft hangars and aircrafts. All of our models rocked the photo shoot posing with an 80's style bonanza plane!
Latrese modeling S.T.E.P.H Designs
Model Cheryl of Fashionably Austin & Adrienee of Make up by Adrienne
Only one thing could compare to this incredible plane…the outfits! Pieces from S.T.E.F, Grace & Lace, Maya Star, Hemline, and Luxe Apothetique were all modeled. Designer Stephanie Montes of the clothing line S.T.E.F even made an appearance on set.
The photo shoot was fabulous to say the least, and we can't wait for everyone to see the results. SO mark your calendars because the new issue launches July 8th!

GAIL LEVIN / Affiliate Director, The Salt & Light Council (SLC).
Much of Gail's early Christian outreach has been in social-action capacities. As such, she has a heart for not only civic engagement, but in seeing the Church affect the culture through both Spirit and truth.
As Founder and Executive Director of Generational Crossroads (GC), for 15 years, Gail led hundreds to relational and generational freedom through the power of Jesus Christ. An ordained minister, she has volunteered in many capacities, including counseling women at a Crisis Pregnancy Center, receiving mediator training through a victim-offender reconciliation program, and serving as assistant director for an ex-gay ministry.
These days, Gail conducts new affiliate trainings, is the ongoing back-office support for affiliate ministries, and is managing editor of SLC's Monthly Maintenance that connects congregations nationwide with pivotal articles that offer churches pertinent Scriptures and prayer and action points.
Gail notes an interesting similarity between The Salt & Light Council and Generational Crossroads. "In GC," she says, "People sought God's strength to deal with their personal and generational sins. In SLC, we encourage Biblical Christians to seek and find the heart of God regarding our corporate, national sins. Either way, personally or nationally, it's hard, humbling work to recognize we are all in need of God's Divine healing. Once there, though, the breakthroughs are incredibly freeing."
On the personal side, Gail is married with two children and three grandchildren. She is a member of a local Messianic Congregation, and involved in prayer ministries. Gail loves to worship in dance, which she calls "full-body worship."

10 things to know about Foxtail Coffee
Get ready for your social media feeds to be inundated with even more coffee shots, if that is even possible.
Orlando's newest coffee shop is open for previews this week with its grand opening set for this Saturday, December 3rd.
Iain Yeakle and Alex Tchekmeian are the coffee masters behind Foxtail Coffee located at 1282 N Orange Avenue alongside other new businesses Create Your Nature and Winter Park Distillery's Bear and Peacock.
I was able to speak briefly with Iain to get some details on the new shop. Here are 10 things to know about your new spot to caff up.
1. Their coffee is roasted and ground on site, daily.
"We roast and grind the beans on-site fresh to order, so if someone orders an espresso it's ground before its put into the group head and brewed. If you can smell anything off the coffee after it's ground that's flavor you are losing from the cup so it's best to brew coffee immediately after it's ground."
For any coffee aficionados Iain explained to me that Foxtail uses burr and conical burr grinders which are larger than flat burrs, both transfer very little heat to the grounds. For wholesale customers they'd rather burr grind it and deliver it so it's brewed fresh. In house at Foxtail everything is ground right before brewing.
2. Where is the coffee sourced from?
"We have four Origins right now. One is Ethiopia yirgacheffe, others are from Chiapas Mexico, Guatemala, and a fair trade organic coffee from Honduras. We source many of our coffees directly from farmers who bring them into the US. We have connections with farms in Haiti, Ecuador, Colombia and Haiti."
They have plans to visit the farms themselves in the future.
3. They have pastries! Where are they coming from?
Different local bakeries will be delivering them daily, including Old Hearth Bread Company.
4. Do they have Wi-Fi?
Yes, as could be easily seen by a shop full of "laptoppers".
5. What options are there for creamers and sweeteners?
Almond, soy, coconut and cows milk. For sweeteners they have most standard options but they promote turbinado and also have honey.
6. Will there be coffee related events in the future?
"We'd like to offer roasting classes, so people can understand the process. We'd also like to host cupping classes so people can try different coffees that we roast and learn to discern the difference for example between an East African natural coffee verses a Central or South American coffee based on how it looks, smells, tastes."
7. Not a coffee drinker? Not to worry, Foxtail Coffee has something for you.
Matcha is on the menu as is a pretty stellar iced chai latte.
8. Do both Iain and Alex have a background in coffee?
Yes. Iain's background has been in wholesale roasting for about 5 years down in South Florida. Alex shares the same passion and throughout their long friendship they've talked about this project for a number of years, and now it's come to fruition.
9. What are the set hours at Foxtail Coffee?
After hours coffee lovers can rejoice. Foxtail will be open from 6AM - 8PM daily, seven days a week.
10. Why chose Orlando to set down Foxtail Coffee roots?
Iain lived here from 2004-2010 and really liked the city and the amount of small businesses popping up along with the culture. They decided they wanted to bring their project here and be a part of that culture.
We're so glad they did!

Salmon and Chive Crepes with radish spread
Marni Sumbal
Enjoy! Have a great weekend...Eat healthy and enjoy what you eat!
Salmon and Chive Crepes w/ radish spread
For the crepes (makes 2 large crepes):
1/3 cup skim milk (don't use soy, doesn't cook well)
3 tablespoons whole wheat flour
1 large egg
1/2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 large fresh chive , finely chopped
1. Combine first 4 ingredients and mix well in a small bowl. Add chives, mix well.
For the radish spread:
1/8 cup fat-free sour cream
1 teaspoon lemon juice
3-4 baby radishes, shredded
1/8 cup onions, shredded or finely chopped
1. Mix together ingredients in a small bowl.
Putting it all together:
1. Cook Salmon to your liking. Let salmon cool for 15 min. before cutting into pieces.
2. Pour 1/2 crepe mixture (according to this recipe) onto a non-stick pan (sprayed with 1-2 squirts non stick spray) on LOW heat.
3. Carefully flip after 1-3 min. of cooking.
4. Place crepe on a plate and let cool. Repeat for second crepe.
5. After crepes are cool, spread 2-3 spoonfulls of radish spread on crepe.
*I thought I could put the crepe back on the stove for the spread and salmon(as seen in the picture) but I think the crepe will stay more firm off the hot skillet.
6. After you spread the radish mixture all over the crepe, lay a small handful of the salmon on one half of the crepe.
7. Roll the crepe from salmon side to the non-salmon side.
8. Enjoy this meal with a healthy side salad.
Crepe mixture (left) and radish spread (right)
Salmon from the oven (cooked around 10 min. w/ a little balsamic and olive oil. I also cut up a few onions which I used on the crepe at the end.)
A beautiful salad to go with the meal

Huntsville/North Alabama Area MLS Observations: Real Estate Market September 2013
September sales declined by 12% to $139,568,716 vs. August at $159,339,428. This was up 16% from last year's $120,579,612. The twelve month moving average line on the total dollar sales chart is heading up. This months' results were in-line with expectations (within 3%).
Total unit sales declined 15% to 816 in September vs. 961 in August, a decrease of 145. This was 10% higher than last year at 740. (it is worth noting that we again had a larger number of past month's reported sales than usual, resulting in changes in historical adjustments).
Our projections for ACRE and Brander Real Estate for 2013 called for 938 sales in September with actual results 3% under that, and year to date volume is 0.8% lower than our projection. See here http://goo.gl/nytW8 for an article sumarizing the projections. Here is the spreadsheet with month by month projections by area http://goo.gl/GEYWa (see the tabs on the bottom).
New sales decreased to 135 this month vs. 165 last month, down 30.
Used sales decreased to 681 this month vs. 796 last month, off 115 (Sect E p.3).
In-spite of increased sales, inventory levels remain stubbornly high. Used inventory levels remain high this month at 11 months (see the chart Sect C p.1), with the situation continuing to be particularly challenged in the higher price ranges. Used homes over $400,000 have more than two years of inventory. Looking at the overall absorption chart (Sect C p1) it appears that used home inventories (in units) are approaching the historical highs, although the months of inventory is not quite as concerning due to the increased sales level.
New home absorption is 9 months of inventory overall, and this has been climbing)(E-1). The New Home inventory level in the $300,000-$500,000 is approximately 5-6 months. (Not bad!).
Due to the Government shutdown we cannot report on number of housing permits issued (chart on the web site).
Total Active listings decreased this month to 8,838 compared to last month's 9,424, and below last year at this time at 8,935, with the reduction exaggerated due to month-end expirations. (Sect A p.4 and Sect E p.3).
Active New listings decreased from 1,410 last month to 1,284 in September, down 126. (Sect E p.3). Active Used listings decreased from 8,014 last month to 7,554 this month, down 46 and slightly below last year's amount at this time of 7,647. (Sect E p.3).
Average Days on Market for Sold New homes was 141 vs. 144 days last month, with Used at 156 in September compared with 144 in August (Sect A p.18).
Average sales price for Sold New homes was $246,938 vs. $246,904 last month. (Sect A p.2)
Average sales price for Sold Used homes was $155,994 vs. $148,995 last month. (Sect A p.2)
The average price line for Used homes is going up. New home average prices seems to be showing positive direction as well.

Our Minister
Our spiritual leadership is here to serve you on your journey of awakening. Please feel free to contact us, we look forward to serving you.
Rev. Stäna has been involved with Science of Mind since 1976, when she began her studies with Rev. Helen Street. She has since been involved with Religious Science churches/centers in Arizona, Colorado, North Carolina and Oregon.
When Rev. Stäna arrived in North Carolina in 1985, there were no Religious Science centers. So in the late 1980's she drew people together to found North Carolina's first RSI church. The Religious Science Church of the Triangle was chartered in 1990 in Durham, NC.
In 1994, Rev. Stäna moved back to Oregon and joined the Spiritual Growth Center, now Center for Spiritual Living – Eugene, where she completed practitioner and ministerial training. During her years at SGC, Rev. Stäna served on the Board, worked with the junior church/teen group/nursery, chaired committees, and developed and taught several classes. In 2000, she brought practitioners of all New Thought denominations together for the Western Region Practitioner Symposium. In 2007, Rev. Stäna was installed as a staff minister with Rev. Linda Finley.
In early 2011, the prompting of Spirit moved Rev. Stäna to accept the call to serve a new spiritual community in Springfield, OR. This led to the founding of the Cascade Center for Spiritual Living, an energetic and growing spiritual community that is active in the larger community while deepening their own spiritual growth.
Currently, Rev. Stäna serves Centers for Spiritual Living by doing practitioner work through the internet treatment request site. She also volunteers at conferences each year, serves on the Interfaith/Intercultural Committee and assists with Fund Development efforts. Rev. Stäna has also taught leadership classes on growth and development at Asilomar 2006 and 2007. In addition to her volunteer work with Centers for Spiritual Living, Rev. Stäna serves on the board of the Lane Interfaith Alliance of Lane County, Oregon.

Make kindness and gratitude a daily habit
NOVEMBER 13 was World Kindness Day and in case you think you blinked and missed it, nothing special happened at the Scenic Rim.
The Gold Coast made a big deal of it after being named the first World Kindness City at the International Congress of the World Kindness Movement in South Korea last year.
When that happened, many people assumed the Gold Coast had earned the title of the "The World's Kindest City".
Here in the Scenic Rim, however, we just went about our daily business and World Kindness Day came and went without much fanfare.
It might be that city dwellers require a yearly reminder to be nice at least once a year but that is not the case in the Scenic Rim, where many would say kindness is largely a daily habit.
Both kindness and gratitude are important attributes and we have both in spades, without having to advertise our efforts or hand out awards on World Kindness Day.
Kindness is more than paying for a stranger's coffee at the drive-through. It is measured by how we treat strangers, how we treat visitors and how we treat each other. It is often tested in times of crisis and how we conduct ourselves in times of celebration.
In this week's Beaudesert Times we see how a community can come together, putting in time and effort just to make the town sparkle for Christmas. Even those who do not have small children at home were willing to volunteer by hanging decorations while most of us were enjoying a Saturday sleep-in.
We also have stories this week of the tireless efforts of our firefighters battling bushfires across the region. Many of them work long hours at their regular jobs and remain on call to respond in a crisis. Rural firefighters are all volunteers and they are paid nothing for putting their own lives on the line.
Gratitude is just as important as kindness and even though some days it might seem there's not much to be thankful for, there is always someone on every street, in every neighbourhood and every town who rightfully deserves a thank you.
Every time a child smiles on seeing the Christmas decorations around town and every time we hear that a fire has been brought under control, we should remember how lucky we are that someone cared enough to put their hand up for a hard task.

Tag clouds in Jekyll - no plugins required
Jekyll has built-in support for tagging of pages and posts, but doesn't provide any functionality to create tag clouds. Because this is so common, there is a nice plugin for it: jekyll-tagging.
When upgrading to Jekyll 3.3.1 I found that the plugin stopped working. So I decided to cook my own simple solution to get it to work. In this post I'll shortly explain how I solved it.
For the proposed solutions to work, you will have to set a tag_dir variable in your _config.yml:
Tag Cloud for a Post
This is the simple one, you can see an example at the bottom of this post. In the post template (_layouts/post.html), you can add:
This simple loop lists the post tags and creates a link to the tag page (see below).
Tag Cloud for your entire Site
This creates a sorted collection of all tags used throughout your site and renders it in a list:
Generating a Tag Page for each tag
When users click a tag, they should see a list of pages that also use that tag (Tag Index). The snippet below creates those pages for you (based on the Category page generator example).
Make a new file _plugins/jekyll-tag-pages.rb:
We also need to provide the Tag Index with a view. The code above expects the view to be in _layouts/tag_index.html. To render the list, use this snippet:
That's a wrap!
That should give you enough information to roll your own custom tag clouds. Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or suggestions!

such a cute idea
Your great idea for button posts sparked in me a similar idea. Holiday (shank button) earrings!
1.'Dress It Up' holiday buttons-found at Joann Fabrics.Walmart also has holiday buttons from another company. Check to see if pkg contains 2 of buttons you like. About $2.00/pkg at Joanns.
2.'Button shank remover' also from Joanns. About $6.00
3. posts for earrings.
4. glue gun and glue stick.
Admittedly, these earrings are more expensive, however selling them could recoup the extra money spent. The shank remover makes a clean cut; no sharp edges to file off.

Road Trip Survival: Recognizing Which Clouds Mean Danger
By By Meghan Evans, meteorologist
August 20, 2012, 5:11:41 AM EDT
While everyone hopes for beautiful, sunny weather when going on a road trip, it is crucial to be prepared for severe weather.
Checking weather forecasts and staying alert to any weather-related watches and warnings is extremely important when heading out on the open road. A weather radio is a must.
However, in a severe weather situation, conditions can change rapidly and the weather can turn volatile quickly. Being able to read the clouds for severe weather can help save your life.
Be Prepared for Severe Weather On Your Road Trips
Summer Road Trip Emergency Kit
The following is a breakdown of ominous looking clouds and whether there is imminent danger or they are actually benign.
Cumulonimbus Clouds
Rapid vertical growth in these cauliflower looking cumulonimbus clouds show that there is a mature thunderstorm, likely producing heavy rain. Abundant moisture and instability due to cool air aloft and heating at the surface set the stage for cumulonimbus to develop.
A lifting mechanism such as a cold front can help trigger these clouds to form.
Heavy rain, frequent lightning, strong winds and hail can all be threats associated with cumulonimbus clouds.
Scud Clouds
Scud clouds may appear to be ominous as they hang vertically below a cumulonimbus clouds. Sometimes scud clouds are mistaken for funnel clouds (see below).
However, these clouds are benign and non-rotating. They often have a raggedy appearance that sets them apart from funnel clouds.
Shelf Clouds
Shelf clouds often form at the leading edge of a gust front or outflow boundary from a thunderstorm, or strong winds flowing down and outward from a storm.
The outer part of a shelf cloud is often smoother with a notable rising motion exhibited by a tiered look (hence, the name shelf cloud!). Underneath, a turbulent, unsettled appearance is often the case.
A shelf cloud should be seen as a harbinger of strong winds, so take caution.
Wall Clouds
A wall cloud is a cloud that is lowered from a thunderstorm, forming when rapidly rising air causes lower pressure below the storm's main updraft.
"Wall clouds can range from a fraction of a mile up to nearly five miles in diameter," according to the National Weather Service.
Wall clouds that rotate are a warning sign of very violent thunderstorms. They can be an indication that a tornado will touch down within minutes or even within an hour.
Funnel Clouds
A funnel cloud is a rotating column of air (visible due to condensation) that does not reach the ground.
If a funnel cloud reaches all the way to the ground then it is classified as a tornado.
When out on the road, a funnel cloud should be treated as a tornado, since they could touch down.
A tornado is a rotating column of air, reaching all the way to the ground. Strong tornadoes are one of the most destructive forces of nature on a small scale. The strongest of which can level entire towns.
A roaring noise, often compared to that of a train, can be heard in many cases when a tornado touches down.
Tornado Safety Tips
When A Tornado Destroys Everything
Vehicles are NOT a safe place to be if there is a tornado nearby.
Thunderstorm Anvil Clouds
Anvil clouds are the flat top of a thunderstorm, or cumulonimbus cloud.
Anvils can spread up to "hundreds of miles downwind from the thunderstorm itself," according to the National Weather Service.
Lightning can strike from anvil clouds, even far away from a thunderstorm. Lightning described as striking "from out of the blue" is usually from an anvil cloud that has drifted from a thunderstorm.
Striking mammatus clouds can sometimes be seen below thunderstorm anvil clouds.
Mammatus Clouds
The rounded and smooth look of mammutus clouds captivate onlookers. They are often found underneath anvil clouds of severe thunderstorms; however, they can form underneath clouds associated with non-severe thunderstorms as well.
It takes a turbulent atmosphere for these clouds to develop.
Asperatus Clouds
Asperatus clouds are very ominous in appearance, usually described as looking like a rough sea.
An abundance of heat in the atmosphere is needed to produce enough energy for the dramatic, rolling formations of asperatus clouds. Another factor is the interaction of very moist air (often on the fringes of thunderstorm complexes) with very dry air.
The darkness of the clouds is likely due to the large amount of water vapor.
Asperatus clouds are not necessarily accompanied by stormy weather. In fact, they have often been observed without the development of thunderstorms.

When your commercial business is in need of a professional for automatic door installation, repair, service or inspection, typically for entry doors, it is important that you seek a professional who is AAADM certified. AAADM certification helps to ensure that the person who is inspecting your automatic door(s) has the skill set that the task requires.
AAADM stands for American Association of Automatic Door Manufacturers. The AAADM is "a trade association of power-operated door manufacturers established in 1994 to raise public awareness about automatic doors and administer a program to certify automatic door inspectors." Those who are AAADM certified have committed to upholding safety principles, and are dedicated to staying abreast of new automatic door technology and more.
In order to acquire certification from the AAADM, an individual must participate in an AAADM Certified Inspector Training program. Prerequisites for the course include working in the industry for a minimum of six months, or working in the automatic pedestrian door industry for at least 90 days and have previously taken a factory training course.
For commercial businesses, ensuring that automatic doors are up to code and working as they should is essential. Not only can a mishap result in loss of time and productivity, but it can also be dangerous for customers and workers, creating a liability issue for your business. When you call an automatic door professional who is AAADM certified, you are calling an individual who is trained to repair, maintain, install, and inspect automatic door systems and their components, and ensure compliance with the latest safety standards. By not calling an AAADM certified professional, you are putting your business at risk, and may be making a decision that will cost you far more in the future.
At Preferred Window and Door, we employ AAADM certified technicians for all automatic door services – we never cut corners when it comes to safety, and will always make sure that your business is operating in compliance with code and safety regulations. To learn more about our automatic door services and why our team is the best in the business, call us today at 708-895-3667, or contact us using our online form today. We have been serving those in the Lake County, IN and South Cook County, IL areas for more than 20 years! We look forward to working with your business!

12 CE Hours - E1029
In this unique healing system of Thai Yoga Massage based on yoga, ayurveda, and the martial arts, the massage therapist guides the client through a series of yoga postures while palming and thumbing along the body's energy lines and pressure points. Together these actions result in a treatment that relieves muscular tension, improves circulation, boosts the immune system and balances the body energetically.
The course text leads readers through every aspect of this ancient bodywork therapy using more than 125 detailed, step-by-step photographs. Techniques for performing a one-hour massage are also demonstrated in the accompanying DVD.
Concepts presented include the history, benefits and key elements of the practice, such as anatomy and physiology and contraindications from the Thai viewpoint and tips for integrating Thai concepts with Western health theory.
In this course, you will learn:
I absolutely loved this course, and use the techniques extensively in my practice. I would recommend this course to anyone who may not have a chance to take the in-school module as the dvd is detailed and the book is great reference material. Thank you!
- Eva Wheeler-Sagiao, LMT
I really enjoyed learning the material in this book and the DVD for better visual comprehension. I really like the Ayurvedic concepts in the material. I would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in learning Thai Massage... Thank you for offering this great home course!!!
- Brooke Liddell, LMT
The Eastern approach in massage is always a good reminder for those that practice the Western approach in massage. In the moment, intention, breathing, letting go and loving kindness brings one to such a beautiful place when working with client. The application of Thai Yoga massage is a great addition.
- Eileen Ann Absenger, LMT, NCTMB
The book provided was very informational. The video was easy to follow. The test was easy to read and perform. I appreciated being able to have my answers on a printed test and then take the test. Over all this has been a very positive experience.
- Nancy Eliason, LMT, NCTMB
I was looking for something I could actually use to enhance my current practice. I will start practicing on my family and friends and then offer it to my clients. I really enjoyed the book! The illustrations really helped me understand how to do it.
- Christine Alvarez, LMT, BCTMB
I absolutely loved this course. It held my interest and feels like something that I could easily incorporate into my massage therapy practice.
- Christine D Proctor, LMBT
I have been taking courses from you for many years and continue to learn new ways to enhance the experience of my clients. The Thai Yoga Massage course was full of great techniques that were clearly explained in the book and had excellent photos.
- Sierra Patterson, LMT
This is a course to enjoy and practice well beyond taking the test. At first implicating some moves into regular routine then expanding. Practicing on people and getting a floor mat. Really energized me.
- Pamela Tangen, LMT, BCTMB
The DVD was very valuable to translate what I was reading into seeing it in practice. I was able to practice on a person while watching the DVD and felt I learned more than just reading the text. Thank you! Printing out the test ahead of time allowed me to focus on the important answers, was able later to take test online without going back to it. Helped me retain the concepts better, thinking thru it as I took the online test.
- Patricia Batie, LMT, BCTMB
Loved this course! Great materials, excellent topic. Good pick!Your Website is a wonderful service to busy Ontario massage therapists!
- Denise Harrison, RMT

So glad I gained the knowledge of this beginner's Thai Yoga Massage course. It was straight to the point, the textbook matched with the video and it was easy to follow along with. Learning TYM will now be substituted into both my massage and yoga practices.
- Toren Hemphill
This was my favorite CE course so far over the last 15 years. A high quality course. Very practical and concise explanations and well demonstrated in the pictures. I can't wait to put this to use and to learn even more about Thai massage!
- Keturah M. Gorospe, BCTMB
I found this course interesting. There are some techniques that I would like to implement and adapt into practice while still using a table. There are also some techniques that I will use in perhaps only very specific situations because we seem to be living in an aggressively sensitive societal structure these days. I appreciate the introduction to this modality and I am highly considering the continuation of the technique at the school in Montreal.
- Laura Van Roosmalen, RMT
Overall high quality of course material and presentation. Feel blessed to have Kam Thye Chow as the presenter of this course. He made the stances and movements easy to understand and follow. I'll take more of his courses. Thank you to the Institute for providing this high quality, valuable course. Namaskar!
- Nancy Charbonneau Geertz, LMT
Loved how this course delved into the history of Thai Yoga Massage and how it is connected to Ayurveda. The presenter was very thorough, yet explained the sequences in an easy to follow format, even explaining transitional flows. The course also explains benefits, contraindications, and practical applications for working with specific tridoshas. This course is full of practical information that is easy to add into your practice and expand upon.
- Sharon Leake
The materials for this course were well put together. I really like having a DVD for this one, since this type of massage is new to me. It is very easy to follow.
- Kristen Looney, LMT
Been looking for a course on this level and traditional and this has exceeded my expectations for a home study. I just wish that as a Chinese trained practitioner the similarities would be expressed as in, marmas and meridians, that threw me a touch. Otherwise love that I have the info to review in my practice, thank you for this. It could not be much better.
- Michael Cameron, LMT
I loved this course. I enjoyed that it was shown in photos the movements. Excellent course!!!!
- Pamela Forester, LMT
This course was able to transmit the kindness and energy of a master practitioner through words and pictures in the book. I found many useful techniques and inspiration from this course.

- Rita McNeil, NCTMB
Each time I have taken courses from Integrative Healthcare, I have learned new material, and have also been challenged on concepts that I previously believed I understood. This is an excellent learning experience.
- Tanisia Smith, LMT, NCTMB
This course provided a welcoming introduction and overview. I will practice techniques with family and co-workers and then introduce to clients. Makes me want to study and practice MORE.
