Internships & Co-ops
What is an internship?
An internship is an opportunity that combines learning with work and offers a unique experience for career exploration. The essential component is that as you are working, you have structured and intentional objectives to learn about a career field.
Types of internships
Internships can be full- or part-time, short- or long-term, paid or unpaid, for credit or not for credit, self-directed or mentor-led, or any combination thereof. Some employers have formal internship programs while others only offer internships on an informal basis.
In addition, faculty-supervised research, high-impact student jobs, client-centered projects, service learning activities, studio-based projects, independent studies, student teaching and leadership roles with student organizations have many of the attributes of a traditional internship, and can be just as valuable to a prospective employer.
Why you should pursue an internship
- Explore potential careers
- Learn how to conduct a job search
- Build work-related skills
- Experience a "3-month interview"
- Network with people in your field
- Become more marketable for your future job search
Before you begin your internship search, you should reflect on:
- Your interests, strengths, skills and experiences
- The skills you hope to gain or refine through an internship
- The types of careers that interest you
- Other career choices that may be available to you
How can you create your own internship?
- Search for available opportunities on Handshake.

The following steps should help you navigate the internship process
- Find your experiential learning opportunity. Join Handshake to begin the search process.
- Once you have been offered an internship/co-op opportunity AND accepted the position, complete the Student Internship/Co-op Agreement. Once this form is received in our office, and has been approved by the employer, our office will enroll you in the proper Internship course.
- At the end of your internship/co-op, the employer will complete the Employer Evaluation Form, which must be turned into the Career Services & Professional Development office to receive course credit.
Search tips
- No single search resource captures all the internships that are available to you.
- Many internships are available only through networking, job shadowing and informational interviews.
- Utilize the internship /co-op search timetable checklist to support you through your individual search.
Here are some Best Practices to consider when planning your Internship Search
- Have a target list of employers. Conduct informational interviews, job shadow, and conduct research.
Network your way into organizations using LinkedIn, your peers, and any other available networking opportunities.
- Understand your personal brand.
- Volunteer. If you find an organization whose mission aligns with your personal values, volunteer with them. Volunteering is a fantastic way to find a sense of purpose, and make valuable networking connections.
- Create an elevator pitch that sounds like you.
- Communicate your plans and details of your search with the people you know. The more people who know you're looking, the more people that are empowered to help find connections or opportunities for you.

Written by KYLE HIGGINS/Art by WILL CONRAD/Colors by ANDREW DALHOUSE/Letters by CARLOS M. MANGUAL/Cover by BRETT BOOTH/Published by DC COMICS
Attention all bad guys in the Windy City: Watch out, Nightwing is in town! A while back Dick Grayson caught wind his parents' murderer, Tony Zucco, was hiding in Chicago. This issue, Nightwing decides to search for Zucco, seeking justice for his parents, all the while tackling more problems that come his way. Chicago may seem like the typical American city, but as Nightwing begins to find out, the city has dangerous secrets regarding its vigilantes.
Nightwing begins making inroads on his quest for Zucco by sneaking into the mayor's office. While questioning the mayor, the only man who may know where Zucco is, Nightwing learns of the city's history with "masks." The mayor's comment on the city's past with vigilantes signifies Nightwing will have his hands full in the coming issues. One has to wonder if this means the mayor is connected to the murder of the vigilante from the last issue of Nightwing, and if he is, that's only going to cause more problems for Nightwing. As if Dick doesn't have enough on his plate, the mayor and his shady past could prove to have consequences for Nightwing and Chicago.
Higgins is great on Nightwing. The decision of Nightwing leaving Gotham isn't new, but the fact he brings him to Chicago, a city not usually depicted in comics is a fresh idea. He also decides to give a reason for why Chicago doesn't have as many vigilantes as it once may have, which should prove interesting. Higgins brings in the recurring Nightwing theme of, "the past always comes back to haunt you," as most of the major characters in this issue have something from their past gunning for them.
Higgins' version of Zucco is a seemingly changed man, who now has a family he cares for. He's trying to stay away from his past, and hide under his cover identity. As soon as he catches wind that Nightwing is in Chicago, he gets spooked. This could mean that the New 52 version of Tony Zucco has had run-ins with Nightwing in the past, or maybe he recognizes the Gotham hero. Either way, he's freaked out about it. Things are getting interesting for Nightwing as he's getting closer finding Zucco, and it will be fascinating how it affects his behavior and methodology. Hopefully, Higgins will bring back Sonia Branch later on in this ongoing story arc, while also dealing with the mysterious brutal murders of the 'masks.'
Brett Booth's cover is not only beautiful to look at, but it's a metaphor for what happens in the issue. And even though Booth doesn't pencil the interiors this issue, Will Conrad takes the baton and keeps the pencils looking good. Panels are detailed and he can definitely draw an action book, which is good as that's what's needed on a Nightwing title. The pencils are great, but some of the artwork can look strange. The coloring style of Andrew Dalhouse seems to change from panel to panel. Some panels have a "CGI" style while other panels look more like traditional comic book art. This can be jarring when it keeps changing back and forth, sometimes panel to panel.
New readers can enjoy this issue as it doesn't require a deep knowledge of Nightwing's history, besides who Tony Zucco is. For fans of the series it's another great, well-written issue they can enjoy, while teasing what's in store for Nightwing next month. One thing's for sure, it looks like Nightwing may have to stay in Chicago longer than he had planned.

Santa's Grotto is a popular attraction at the Bernards Heath annual Christmas Fair, and this year the committee decided to sell ticketed slots for the grotto via PTAsocial. We caught up with PTA Chair Anne after the fair to find out how it went.
"We used PTAsocial to sell tickets for Santa's grotto. We sell around 300 tickets each year, and everyone is allocated a specific 10 minute time slot. This was our first time selling tickets online, and we found the set-up pretty smooth.
All parents are aware of PTAsocial anyway as we use it to enlist volunteers for events. We made sure they knew where to buy the grotto tickets by sending an email containing all the relevant details,and we also put reminders in the weekly newsletter.
Selling tickets for the grotto via PTAsocial cut down the admin work for us almost completely. In previous years it has been a very time-consuming task – collecting reply slips and money, allocating time slots to all children and then communicating this back to parents.
The other benefit was that parents had to sign up for PTAsocial in order to get grotto tickets, so I think it encouraged more people to volunteer to help at the fair too. We had 40-50 volunteers sign up to help out in one weekend!
We will definitely use this feature again next year! The fair went really well, and everyone commented that they felt that it ran really smoothly – I'm sure that's due to PTAsocial and the fact that we can put all the details of the fair and individual stalls on to it. People sign up and immediately know where they are going and what they are doing!"
P.S. Want to use PTAsocial at your school? It's free! Get it now!

World Class Music from WalesALAWThis event has now finished
Described by Songlines magazine as a 'Welsh supergroup', ALAW is three leading musicians who bring a wealth of experience to a shared passion - the traditional music of Wales.
Whether unearthing rare gems or reimagining a well loved melody, they treat their music with a deftness and sensitivity that is thoroughly absorbing. Combined with powerful songwriting and original tunes, this makes for a musical experience that will stay with the listener long after the performance ends.
In August 2018 they collaborated with the BBC Concert Orchestra for a televised Prom at The Royal Albert Hall, alongside Julie Fowlis, Jarlath Henderson, Sam Lee and The Unthanks. ALAW's performance was described on BBC Radio 2 as "Show-Stopping" and in the Times as "a sparkling collision of Celtic traditions".
From stirring songs to driving jigs, they communicate their music with relaxed humour and a genuine affection that is truly infectious.
"Welsh musicians don't come more sensitive, accomplished and exploratory than this crew"fROOTS

Budva – If one should say for a hotel at Montenegrin coast that it represents real haven for vacation, where is guaranteed full peace, calm sleep, good food and service than it will surely be Budva "Aleksandar".
Isolated from city crowd, located at end of tourist settlement "Slovenska plaza", that hotel represents right example of lovely Mediterranean architecture composed in home ambient.
Hotel that already for two years represents the most favorite destination of foreign tourists even this summer according words of director Ljubo Radjenovic is completely full.
Of total number of guests even 95% are foreign tourists. Today in all "Budvanksa Rivijera" we will not have single free room. Interest is extremely large. "Aleksandar" is currently hotel with the best booking at all Montenegrin coast so that from June 10, there is overbooking. Demand from foreign market is extremely large. Anyway we left certain number of rooms for the market of Serbia as to keep continuity. Demand from abroad is such that we could sell double more capacities. Foreign guests are good consumers so increased outboard consumption – emphasized Radjenovic.
Surrounded by lovely park hotel has 440 beds in 33 rooms and 120 apartments and as such represent real challenge for all those wishing nice and peaceful rest that Budva was once famous for.
Apart comfortable rooms that are completely renovated before season and kind and hospitable staff, program "all inclusive" that was first time included in one of hotels of "Budvanska Rivijera" showed the right cause. "Aleksandar" fast conquered estimation of foreign guests and became one of the most requested at West European, Russian and Slovenian market. In the offer of the hotel there are also aperitif and snack bar, pastry shop, tennis courts and middle part of hotel complex is large open door pool intended for recreation and rest of guests.
In order to fulfill "all inclusive" offer in this hotel operates also "juice bar" where guests can enjoy in natural beverages made exclusively from squeezed fruit. Vitamin juices, various frappe, that represent currently leading trend in world of catering, refreshment in offer at Budva Riviera. Guests can choose of witch fruit they wish the juice to be made of and by themselves create beverage at their wish. Of course the most popular are mixes of raspberry and banana., orange with lemon and peach, but it is up to anyone to choose for himself combination of fruits and make beverage according his taste.

Name: Kevin
Age: 19
Occupation: Student, Southern Methodist University
Hometown: San Diego, CA
How DART Impacts My Life:
In high school, I had always dreamed of going to college in Texas! Southern Methodist University in Dallas had the program and degree I was looking to earn. I knew that with access to Dallas, I could experience internships and real-world learning.
Moving from San Diego was a big deal after graduation. Student loans were expenses I was willing to take on, but paying for a car and auto insurance was not. Luckily, SMU is right off of the Blue, Red and Orange lines. Access to public transit was definitely an item on my check off list for my dream school requirements. I decided that having a part-time job would give me a little income during school. Luckily, at SMU I can easily hop on DART and get to my job in the city as a barista at a local coffee shop.
I chose to pursue a business degree at SMU because North Texas is a great place for employment opportunities. Part of that comes from businesses relocating their headquarters from other states to North Texas. In fact, twenty of the biggest business relocations from 2015-2017 created more than 7,600 jobs in North Texas alone!
Living in a city that is also home to business opportunities makes job searching after graduation a whole lot easier. Plus, I can depend on DART to get me to class on time, shuttle me to my part-time job, and drop me off at my internship downtown. DART has been part of my college experience, giving me the ability to access the region I hope to call home even after graduation.
Check out our latest animated video featuring Kevin and a few others living and working in North Texas.

Personal Leadership Styles
Eight different Leadership Styles
My Leadership Styles
My Desired Style of Leadership Style
Research in recent times has established that organizations operate in more and more complex and dynamic environments and as such for organizations to do well in such conditions, the presence of good leaders is necessary. Hence, it is rightly assumed that presence of an efficient leader is often a critical factor in the success of the organization. The key and the traits of a good leader is to be able to lead a team efficiently, bring out the best from the team members and being able to manage change. In life too, leadership plays an important role (Barnes & Larcus, 2015). The different personal traits, thoughts and beliefs often design the style of leadership for an individual. It is also necessary as an individual to understand and know the best style of leadership that suits the qualities and beliefs of an individual. Over the years, extensive research on leadership have come up with a number of styles for leaders, come of them are discussed below.
Eight different Leadership Styles
While no set rules or laws about the type of leadership and the style exists or can be identified, research have identified certain common traits of leadership that can be grouped into a few categories over the years (Barnes & Larcus, 2015). The styles are classified according to the approach an individual leader adopts while dealing with people that they lead and the manner in which they get the work done.
The Charismatic Leader - This is a leader with a great and magnanimous personality which is the primary influencing factor. The aura and the personal.ity of the leader are such that it significantly impacts the followers who are drawn into following the leader. Such leaders lead by inspiring passion but often tend to have belief in himself more than on the team (Gobillot, 2007). Such leaders come into good effect when there is a need to spur others in the team to action. The primary disadvantage of such leadership is that the entire leadership revolves around the persona of the leader while the team remains at a risk. Hence, the leader can sometimes take risks which can be more than the team can accept.
The Innovative leader -- focus on innovation and new ideas is the primary characteristic of this style of leadership. Such leaders tend to have the potential to go far beyond the usual course of action that other leaders would have taken and are often quick to grasp the entire situation (DONOVAN, MEYER & FITZGERALD, 2007). Such leaders make use of innovation and new thinking not only to tackle the problem but also to better the situation. Situations and organizations where there is a need to break open entrenched and intractable issues are best suited for such types of leaders (Dennis, 2014). The style encourages the team members to think differently and innovate.
Paternalism Style Leadership -- this style of leaders believe that success can be achieved through the maintenance of rules. Such leaders are avid followers of rules and also expect the team members to do so. There is no scope for discussions in this style as it is an authoritarian style of leadership. Crisis situations when there is a real urgency to get to work with no time to discuss best suits these style of leadership. This style often also ensures that the team is able to meet deadlines through the immediate and complete compliance of directions from the leader (Herold, Fedor, Caldwell, & Liu, 2008). This type of leader generally believes in and engages in top-down interactions. However, the drawback of this style is that it creates an environment within the team that can be restrictive and tends to limit the ability to of others to develop their own leadership skills (Holyoak, 2002).
The Laissez-Faire Style -- In this style of leadership, the leader does not directly get involved in a situation as he or she is aware of and knows what is happening and has great confidence in the team and the team members. Such a leader assumes that the tea members would do their respective duties. Based the belief that the other would be able to get the work done, such a leader entrusts responsibility on others (Gobillot, 2007). When a team works in multiple locations or remotely, this is a style of leadership augurs well. However, this style of leadership can make the leader completely dependent on the team. But on the other hand, this style grants a considerable degree of freedom and autonomy to team members that can result in high job satisfaction and increased productivity (Holyoak, 2002).
Pace Setter leadership -- Such leaders are generally first timers for most things and encourages others to follow the leader's idea. They often set very high-performance standards for themselves as well as the group and depend on performance to lead. However, this style of leadership suits a team that is self-motivated and highly skilled. This style, however, can lead to burnout of the team members (Dennis, 2014).
Participatory Style -- Putting service to others before self-interest is the basis of this style of leadership. These leaders believe in the democratic style of leadership and involve all or most of the team members in decision making and in the leadership process. This leadership keeps the doors open for all members of the team without prejudice to hierarchy. Organizations with this style of leadership are often considered to be the best places to work. A positive organizational culture and high morale is often the outcome of this style of leadership but is not suited for a fast action scenario or a crisis (Helsing & Howell, 2013).
Situational Style -- These leaders adapt to situations and change themselves rather than the situation. Linking their behavior with that of the group's readiness is the common trait of this style. Being directing and supportive in addition to believing in empowering and coaching the subordinates are other traits of this style (Helsing & Howell, 2013).
Transformational style -- Belief in transforming, even if it is uncomfortable, and expecting that the team to transform too is the primary trait of this style of leadership. Such leaders serve as a role model for those associated with the leader as he assumes that everyone would give their best. Such leader also motivates the teams by strengthening the team through the qualities of optimism, enthusiasm, and commitment (Storey, 2005).
My Leadership Styles
During the course of my career, I have undertaken the role of a team leader and followed the participatory style of leadership during my early years of employment. As a leader in the military, I have used the style quite effectively as I included most of my team members to take a decision. As an individual, I believe in democracy and hence, I valued the ideas, views and opinions of others in my team. This not only helped me to gain respect as a leader but also helped in generation of new and innovative ideas. The responsibility sharing of decision making and participation of other team members in the team's functioning had helped me in running the team smoothly.
My Desired Style of Leadership Style
However in the later years of my career and especially after retiring from the Military, I have started to believe in the paternalism style of leadership. The primary reason to cause a shift in my outlook towards leadership style is the realization that not everyone in the team has the same skills or qualities to provide quality input in decision making and the team running. Though I still believe in democracy, I have realized that a more authoritarian style with significant control and strict maintenance of rules can deliver… [END OF PREVIEW]

Carlsbad Public Library: Summer 2016 wrap up
We've wrapped up a busy summer at Carlsbad Public Library and kids head back to school this week. The summer program is generously funded each year by the volunteer Friends of the Library group.
Sign up began on June 1 and 725 children visited the library to pick out a free book to keep, receive a book bag, make a craft, go on a library scavenger hunt, and select library books to read at home. Registration this year was our highest to date, with over 1,000 kids participating.
We had 41 teens involved in arts & crafts activities, with the assistance of volunteers Diane Moore and Isabel Silva. Projects included stamping, drawing, card making, paper crafts, vases, painting and bead crafting.
During our library pajama party, ventriloquist Meghan Casey of Rocky Mountain Puppets had kids and parents both in stitches with her original show and cast of crazy animal puppets. Kids enjoyed milk and cookies afterwards.
Curious Chris, the Singing Scientist, a.k.a. retired science teacher Chris Harrell, is an annual favorite with his lively music, interactive program, and exciting science demonstrations.
"Indiana Bones, Keeper of Legends," performed by Mike McCartney, had the audience fully engaged for his exciting re-telling of ancient myths, with the help of a mischievous dragon puppet.
Toddler Time was a popular program for the littlest library visitors, ages 0-3, who benefit from music, educational toys, and social time geared especially for them.
Kids logged over 1,100 hours of recreational reading, and parents who turned in surveys after the program said that their kids enjoyed the reading incentive prizes, the programs, as well as the crafts and activities.
None of this could happen each summer without financial support, and that is where the Friends of the Library volunteers lend a hand. Each year, the Friends organization holds a used book fair fundraiser, and it's coming around again this weekend.
The members-only preview sale is in the library annex from 5-7 p.m. Friday. I encourage you to join for a year. It's just $10, and your membership fee helps fund library programs for the kids. The sale is open to the general public from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 12-3 p.m. next Sunday.
This is a name-your-price book sale, so bring your own boxes or bags to fill. Plan to spend time looking through all the great books, and make as generous a donation as you are able to ensure next year's summer lineup is just as exciting as this year's has been.
Hope to see you there!

Businesses: 10 Mistakes that Most People Make
Tips to Finding a Professional Company to Install Your Windows and Doors
As a result of the high numbers of available companies that can do the window and door installations, the search for the right company becomes hard. It is good that as you go out in search that you know what you are looking for. Most will seek recommendations from friends and family that have had the replacements done before. However, it is good for one to do their research. The guidelines below will aid in selecting the right company.
Experience. Those companies that have been in operation for long are often preferred. This is because these companies must have been doing things right so as to remain afloat. This makes it necessary therefore to always consider the company's experience.
The company's reputation. Having a company being in operation for a long time and having a bad reputation is a rare occurrence. This is a pretty easy thing to do. A good place to get this information is on the company websites where you will find lots of reviews and testimonials. You can call the company also and ask for references which you can contact and ask about the reputation.
The quality of work. The type of work the company delivers will be reflected on the kind of reputation the firm will have in the industry. If a company offers high-quality services then it cannot in any way have a bad reputation. Seek to find out from the management the steps they follow to ensure they offer quality services. Warranties and guarantees are a common feature of a firm offering quality services.
Materials. One needs to first determine the type of door that they want to be installed, following which they now determine the type of material that they are to be made of. One should make sure that the company they choose have carried out installation of similar doors prior so as to build confidence in them handling the material. In case one is uncertain of the best materials, the company should be willing and in a position to offer advice on that. Clients will make informed choices where they engage a company that is ready and willing to offer them information regarding the material of the doors and windows.
The competence of the firm. This is one of the factors that is commonly ignored by most homeowners. Though assumed, this is the most important factor of them all. It is good however that in any field you are plying, you get professionals full of integrity. This builds confidence when selecting the company ensuring that you pick the best professionals and no ethical questions will come up when undertaking the works. Work ethic is an easy thing to point out to a company as it should be seen on the employees.

Mark Glowacz
Mark is the definition of community. His passion and love for CrossFit is inspiring and addictive to others. He is always supportive of others and willing to go out of his way to help out with anything. Since being here he has grown as a competitor, improving his skills such as pull ups, olympic lifts and more. Mark had his ACL replaced 23 months ago, but that didn't stop him from attending classes regularly. We modified exercises appropriately and since his recovery he has dropped his mile time by 1:10, has an OHS of 130# (15# increase), and is able to rope climb again.
How did you discover The Combine / CSC CrossFit?
I've been obstacle racing since 2010 and needed to get stronger on several obstacles. A friend showed me an article about CrossFit and a week later I saw an ad for The Combine in the Community Impact paper. I decided to give it a try because results on my own at LifeTime were not working. Four years later, it's the best fitness decision I've ever made.
What has CrossFit at The Combine done for you personally? Physically?
CrossFit has done many things for me personally and physically. I am an introvert but enjoy time with people I like. The Combine "fit fam" is a place I feel comfortable being uncomfortable because coaches and members have my back. That has helped me learn to push limits, and I believe improved my professional life as well. Physically, I am stronger; much stronger! Few people know I also battle anxiety, but since starting CrossFit, I haven't taken a single pill. The Combine and CrossFit are my stress management solution.
Who inspires/motivates you or Why do you workout?
I have two boys, Danny and Tyler, that inspire me to set an example for a healthy lifestyle. They recently started the kids' classes, and I couldn't be happier to see them kill a WOD and talk about all the ways they would attack it differently while driving home. Also, my health is important to me. Throwing around heavy things and getting beat to a pulp happens to be fun, so it makes it easier to stay motivated. How I look in my birthday suit isn't bad either. ;-)
What "ah ha" moments have you had in CrossFit?
I've had two "ah ha" moments, but the biggest one is the importance of consistency. Consistently coming to class, focusing, and logging my efforts provide 80% of my gains. The second is my capability to do more than I think I can. I may not hit many PRs now that I'm four years into my CrossFit journey but if you ask me whether I think I'll be doing pull-ups at 75 years old - I say, hell yeah!
What fitness accomplishments are you most proud of?
I've had a rough run of injuries including an ACL replacement and lumbar disc injury. Scaling and modifying for over a year has been frustrating at times, but I am proud of not giving into negative thoughts and feeling like I'm 100% again. I'm back to working towards new PRs.
When you are not working out how do you spend your free time?
When I'm not working out, I'm usually coaching or supporting my boys in their athletic pursuits. I also enjoy B-rated horror and sci-fi movies with a good beer or tequila. I hide it pretty well nowadays, but I'm a big nerd when it comes down to it.
What are your three favorite exercises?
My favorite movements - cleans, most kettlebell work, and I feel like I'm the only one at The Combine to say this, running.

The living room is an area wherein members of the family have an opportunity to get together, watch movies, or just have a good chat. It is also a place where we entertain guests. That is why a cozy two or three-seater sofa is a must-have in a complete home.
However, at times, especially if we do not have a spare room, it can also be used as a sleeping area for your guests. Most of us, if not all, would not want our guests to be sleeping on a mattress or sleeping bag placed on the floor. Hence, the best sleeper sofa or a sofa bed would be useful.
When you decide to purchase a sleeper sofa, you must find one that provides great comfort for both sleeping and hanging out. It should also be beautiful and designed well so that it will not look out of place in the living room.
You must also think about the size and evaluate its sturdiness. Indeed, the task is daunting. To help you, we will review three sofa sleepers that we consider as worthy investments.
Based on the aforementioned characteristics, these three products are nothing but a great centerpiece for the perfect living room. Let us look into each of their features, pros, and cons.
The DHP Premium Sofa Bed is a two-seater pull-out couch that has a classic European look. This is suitable for dorms, bachelor pads, small living rooms, and home offices.
This sofa comes in two different models: vinyl gray and leather black. The black model has rounded edges, while the vinyl gray comes in sharp corners, which is a more fitting design by today's standards. That being said, their other features are the same.
As a sofa, it has a dimension of 45.5 (L) x 31 (W) x 35.5 (H) inches which is perfect enough to accommodate two individuals. On the other hand, the fold-out dimension is 45.5 (W) x 85.5 (D) x 35.5 (H), providing two people with plenty of room to rest without feeling uncomfortable. However, you must still take note of its maximum weight capacity, which is 400 pounds.
This product is built with a frame that is made of solid wood, giving it a total weight of about 143.5 pounds. It also comes with a 72 (L) x 37.5 (W) x 3 (H) inches coil mattress that has a simple design.
Signature Sleep Casey Faux Leather Sleeper Sofa comes in three different sizes which are twin, full, and queen. However, for the purposes of comparison, we will focus on the full-sized model. Its design is minimalistic, modern, elegant and compact.
This fold-out sleeper sofa has a sturdy metal frame that can support up to 600 pounds of weight. When extended, it can hold up to 450 pounds, which is enough for two heavy and three slimmer individuals.
It has a coiled cushioning that is enclosed in black faux leather upholstery. For people who are not into dark colors, this product is also available in gray color, but the upholstery is made of velvet fabric materials.
The CertiPUR-US®-certified mattress memory foam that comes with the product is made of flame retardant materials. It is also free from harmful products like heavy metals, phthalates, and ozone depleters. In addition, it only emits VOC at a level of less than 0.5 PPM which means that it will not pollute your indoor air.
On another note, the total height of the sofa, which is 35.5 inches is considered as not too high, so pets and children will find it very accessible. Setting up this product will not be a problem as well since Signature Sleep provides installation instructions both in print and video.
This vintage-style couch is a wonder for every design enthusiast. It comes in five different colors which include green, gray, navy, pink, and taupe. It is also equipped with beautiful diamond tufting and velour case.
This sofa can convert into a bed or lounge in just a few minutes, making it a great purchase for every host. As a sofa and lounge, the size dimension of the product is at 33.5 (H) x 81.5 (W) x 34.5 (D) x inches.
When made into a bed, the approximate measurement is 17.5 (H) x 81.5 (W) x 44 (D) x inches. It has a frame that is built with a high-quality wood material that is designed to accommodate a maximum weight of 600 pounds in its sofa form.
The upholstery is made of a velvet material that is stain-proof and water resistant while the legs are made of wood and have a dark, shiny brown finish and Victorian style. On the other hand, the mattress has a thickness of 7.5 inches.
When you consider the design of the three products we reviewed above as well as the sturdiness of their frames, it's quite hard to judge which of them is the best. So, typically, the final decision will be based on the consumer's needs and wants.
However, we have mentioned earlier that when shopping for the best sleeper sofa, it should meet three aspects—comfort, overall sturdiness, and design versatility. In that sense, the Novogratz Vintage-Style Tufted Sofa Sleeper II is the clear victor as it is wide and sturdy enough to hold three people with no issues.
The product also brings a bit of uniqueness to the table with its nice, vintage look that can work for home or office interiors. Lastly, the firmness of the sofa bed makes it comfortable while still being durable.

I was super excited today when the ups dropped off a package I have been waiting on. It contains Tim & Liz's wedding album, and I am sure they are now not so patiently awaiting me to get it sent to them 😉 I love these albums, they are made from super high quality materials and it shows. The leather is really soft, the bindings are really strong and make me feel confident this album will be around for a long time. On to some pics and spreads!
All my albums come in their own protective and stylish bag! No cardboard boxes are good enough for these albums!
Check out the thick (2mm) pages and layflat binding process with no cut down the middle..its one continous image!
And a few of my favorite spreads!
Thursday night I had the pleasure of shooting Rachel's senior Pictures. She will be a senior at Perry Meridian this fall, and is looking forward to the upcoming basketball season. We shot a ton of images that night (4 hours worth) at many different locations. We first started off at the canal downtown, then went to the circle and an alley also downtown, and finally headed to her school to shoot some basketball images in the gym. (thanks again coach for letting us in so late!) After you look at the picture here be sure to go check out the slide show on the facebook page.
Thanks again Rachel, I had a great time shooting your senior pics!
This past Saturday I had the extreme pleasure of shooting Jessica & Davids wedding in Plainfield. I woke up Saturday morning to the sound of rain and thunder, and immediately became disappointed. I have worked with brides before when it rains on the wedding day, and its not usually pleasant. So the time came for me to arrive at the church to start some photography, rain or no rain. Shortly after I arrived, Jessica arrived as happy as a clam. She was totally cool with the rain, and it made me relax so much knowing that she was cool with the situation. She actually came into the church wearing a poncho that made a great image!
Check out all the images below then head over to my facebook fan page to see a slide show that has more images!
Thanks once again for letting me be a part of you special day!
after countless hours fighting with the Internet, I have officially created a blog on my own domain…no more free word press domain for me! I hate the Internet and all its craziness…ftp that, php this. sql database whatever…I win…i did it, and it only took me about three different online tutorials to do it too…
Friday Night Kelsie and I got together to shoot her senior pictures. We had planned on going to the IMA and Broadripple to shoot, and on the ride up there we decided to add Butler's campus and Holkum gardens to the list. That made for a fast pased evening full of photogrpahy. Her images turned out great, see for yourself. Thanks again Kelsie!

LAKE BELL is usually happy to get dressed up for a red-carpet premiere but - she admitted good-humouredly - it's not her favourite thing to do at the moment.
"It's less enjoyable right now," she laughed. "I'm seven months pregnant and my style sense is a little off! At the moment, I'm just aiming to keep my sanity and continue to feel as chic as one can. I have to straddle a line of being tasteful and looking good; I need a shape that looks elegant and is supportive without being too hot: it's a daily negotiation! There has been quite a bit of travel and I feel I always need to look nice for a flight - that was instilled in me early, much as I want to just be comfortable - so my outfit choices have really had to get innovative."
Just as happy in a Stella McCartney jumpsuit as she is a more classic gown, Bell's sartorial risk-taking has earned her plenty of best-dressed plaudits alongside more staid contemporaries - and her fearlessness extends far beyond her wardrobe.
"I'm definitely not cautious," the native New Yorker told us of her career - and life - choices so far. "I've wanted to live elsewhere on my own for as long as I can remember. At 13 I was an au pair in France for a family with six children, at 14 I went to boarding school, drama school in England at 18. I would actually have gone to more exotic places if I'd been able."
Ironically, "everyone complained" about travelling around India for her latest film - Million Dollar Arm - Bell says, while she and her adventurous spirit were stuck in Atlanta. "Although, Atlanta was lovely," she noted diplomatically.
The film - a new incarnation of Disney's much-loved sports movie genre - sees a washed-up sports agent travel to India to mine the country's rich supply of fast bowlers in the hopes of finding a new baseball star. Finding two potential pitchers, he brings the boys back to LA where his life is changed - as only Disney can depict - as he sees his jaded world anew through their innocent eyes, with a little help from his neighbour, Brenda.
"She's a tough love character, absolutely," Bell explains. "The film is the emotional journey of one man and the people who inform that journey. He drives a Porsche, sleeps with models: he's a cool dude, but, with Brenda, he gets something he didn't ask for. She's not a model, she's a medical student, and she doesn't really give a shit. With roles like this, it's not about the size; it's about what it brings to the story."
Played with charm and pathos by Jon Hamm, the sports agent may be a "cool dude", but for Bell, playing opposite the Mad Men star, who she has known for years, was not always easy.

"It was more awkward!" she laughed of building an on-screen romance with an old friend. "Kissing scenes anyway are somewhat clinical. The chemistry that comes from having known each other for a long time was helpful for the other scenes; to have that ready-made rapport, but it made the romantic stuff more difficult."
Having built her career in - but crucially not leading - comedies including What Happens in Vegas (2008) and No Strings Attached (2011), Bell put herself into a new category of leading lady with 2013's In A World, which she also wrote and directed. One critic called her "a triple threat to keep an eye on" - and the film's Sundance plaudits success led to bigger parts, like this Disney blockbuster.
"I've got nothing against sports, I just don't know anything about them," she deadpanned, "but I do love sports films. I love that they are so black and white - that really appeals to me - and I met the guys who the film was based on and they were just incredible. Their stamina and bravery in doing what they did is really unbelievable."
With healthy box office takings in the US, and largely favourable reviews so far: Variety said it "works as both a stirring underdog tale and as a revealing look at the expanding global footprint of the American sports-entertainment machine," while The Hollywood Reporter said it "assuredly hits a home run". Million Dollar Arm opens this week in Britain.
But don't expect Bell to hop on a flight and then dress up for the premiere.

Fabulous 8.6 From 475 reviews
This was easily one of the worst hotels I've ever stayed in. The main plus of the hotel is that it's in an amazing location with Kreuzberg and the surrounding bar and restaurant districts all around. But that's about it. We arrived and were told right away that the room we had booked wasn't available - they do not have rooms with two beds, despite what hotels.com lists them as. After a lot of back and forth, we gave up and were upgraded to a junior suite, which we appreciated. But then we discovered that the air conditioner for the hotel was completely down. So we spent every night and morning roasting in the room. Just overall, a bizarrely disorganized and chaotic stay and I definitely won't book it again or recommended it to anyone.
When checking in, I agreed to pay extra to upgrade to a room with river view, only till I got to the room that I see the river view is from the side window. Front desk didn't tell me that. Also, the hotel room is much smaller than in the picture. Ridiculously small for more than 400 euros in Berlin. And it's really far from the airport by taxi. Took me more than an hour to the airport, a lot longer than what displayed at the front desk. Check out wasn't fast enough either.
We had a very nice weekend in Berlin. Our stay on nhow was a good choice because we went to a concert in Mercedes-Benz Arena with Helene Fischer. The hotel was quiet and was only 1 Kilometer from the arena. Besides we experienced the Berlin Wall. Nice 👍
great hotel, nice location
When I entered the room, it was icy cold. I turned on the heating and waited for 2 hours without luck. I called reception and they sent the bellboy who tried to help but couldn't do anything. At the first night, I reminded reception 3 times. They told me that technician will be available next day and there are no rooms available. On the second day, someone has turned on the heating again yet it was far away from heating the room. I contacted reception 6 times during my stay. Every time there was someone else on reception. None of them helped or seemed to do anything. Here is the chronogical list that receptionists have done: - He sent a bellboy who couldn't help. - He told me that, everything is fine. I went to my room and found out that noone has come to the room. - She told me it is not possible to change the room because the hotel is fully booked. - He told me there is nothing he can do as he told the technician and he doesn't know if it is done or not. - At checkout, she offered free parking. I believe either the hotel is cost cutting on heating and it is impossible to turn on the heating or staff is inexperienced and indifferent. Heating is the basics of the accommodation. It turns out to be that it is optional in Nhow Berlin. Other than that, breakfast is nice and plenty. There is 16 free parking spaces in front of the hotel. Rental car is handy as the hotel is far away from main attractions.

This blog is dedicated with love and pure joy, to my sweetest children Emma and Jameson, to capture all of the precious things they say and do on a day to day basis. I hope they can look back and get a good laugh out of some of the things they did growing up!
Laura Marie, I will be praying for him.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the prayer request! You really helped me at the Heart-n-Hands Christmas party. I keep thinking about what you said, "Next year you'll just be visiting here." We're now at Children's Hospital in Oklahoma City. We had Maverick transferred December 21 to be closer to home. He's getting stronger and is weaning off the vent. We just need some time with no more infections or complications. Good to hear from you. JuliReplyDelete

Our expertise resides in the capability to industrialise the application of level 1 security features for banknotes and security documents to any substrate, with a focus on high precision and high production levels/throughputs.
At Pasaban we are proud to be at the forefront of developing the technology to produce the new Europa series banknotes, €20 and €50.
Pasaban: History and Evolution in the Security Print Sector
Article: Holography News- by Reconnaissance- link
Hot foil stamping in register
Our recent hot stamping foil stripe stamping lines work optimally with any qualified foil and any substrate. They are available in different web widths and are capable of working at speeds of up to 200m/min.
Online printing processes can also be integrated for security printing. The equipment has an extremely demanding specification compared to other equipment providers in this sector.
Laser punching equipment
The laser punching machine which can be integrated into the hot stamp foiling lines are the first laser solutions in the market used to create extremely accurate banknote windows. The system has several benefits, including reduced changeover downtimes, low maintenance costs together with high levels of repeatability and productivity throughput compared to mechanical punching machines.
Future developments
Undoubtedly one of the main challenges for the future is not only to keep up with the fast-changing trends but to be at the edge of the new security features that are being developed.
'We have to be aware of the new security features that are being developed in the market. Especially for those which require high precision and production levels so that Pasaban can design and manufacture the perfect solution for industrialising them.' Gustavo Lascurain, Managing Director.
Being at the forefront of the technology is always a complex task to fulfil. Keeping that in mind we are committed to investing heavily in research and development and to always be open to cooperation with security printers, paper mills and currency and security document producers.

Killala has become a very regular film location for me as I have covered many wedding videos for Edith and her extended group of friends. I love seeing all these ladies again and again, the craic is always great! The day may have been blustery but the welcome was warm at the Diamond Cost Hotel where Mary and her team expertly looked after Brendan and Edith's wedding guests.

The Ranch Update 2
The Ranch Intro
The translator came up to me and said, "Guess what? I'm your brother in Christ!"
First time volunteer Doug Stephens talks about his experience at camp in Kunming, China…
Oh my gosh, I've traveled a lot, I've been to some amazing places. Being at camp in Kunming was the best because it meant something.
It was cool to bond with my translator, develop that relationship and see how that progressed. One of the camp translators heard a few guys and I talking about God and so he went and talked to Tim Hedden, our camp director, and accepted the Lord. When we came back from the city that afternoon, the translator came up to me and said, "Guess what? I'm you're brother in Christ!" That was awesome.
The other volunteers there were amazing, really stellar people. It was rad to be around a group of Christians who I could talk to and who challenged me.
Saying goodbye to the kids was really hard. And it was one thing after another, but it was great. There's no other way that it could have been any better. It was perfect.
What did you learn about yourself?
I learned that I want to adopt a Chinese orphan in the future. I want to go back so bad. I still think about China everyday even though I've been home for a while now. I look at my pictures, email the translators, and try to maintain friendships I made with people there.
What did God teach you about Himself?
In China I met Christians who love God so much that they would put themselves at risk for their faith. The believers there have a thirst for God that inspires me.
One night in China I was talking to my friend Chris about how I was feeling ashamed for not stepping up and sharing my faith more when I could be. But I realized that God isn't looking at me with anger but with love and readiness for me to grow.
What would of you have missed if you didn't go to China?
I would have missed out on getting to see how blessed I am. My family and I have so much and yet the kids in China have that same joy when they don't have much.
The friendships I made, with Josh and Chris especially. I would have missed out on being challenged and encouraged by them.
And I wouldn't have gotten the chance to know the kids and work with them. I was able to meet my buddy's caregiver and she told me how she could tell how much I loved this little boy and cared about him. It was really an opportunity to reflect Christ's love.
What would you say to anyone thinking of volunteering at camp next year?
Aw, man. I would say "GO!" It was the best experience.
The kids are so awesome. Regardless if you have 'Happy' or 'Juan', (an easy-going or a high energy kid) it's impacting their life. I got lucky because I had awesome kids, but it's not how easy we have it during the week, it's what can I do so that they know they're special. The first time they take your hand you think, 'this is rad!' It ends up being a blessing to you to.
Doug with his orphan buddy and translator at camp.
The infamous cake fight lives on!
