Intuitive Aura Reading
Each of us comes into this life with more energy and information than our physical bodies can hold at any given time. Most of this "extra" energy hangs out in our aura, where it mingles with energy generated by our life experiences and the people we encounter.
This cocktail of energy becomes our reality; the lens through which we view the entire world. An intuitive aura reading taps into the wisdom and insight present in that energetic cocktail.
Working clairvoyantly, I scan the energy in your aura, identifying patterns in the colors, vibrations, symbols and pictures it contains. I pinpoint areas where your spirit is currently growing and changing — and where foreign energies might be interfering with that courageous process.
An aura reading illuminates the beauty of who you are as a being by tuning into the truth of your spirit. I'm not predicting the future, here - I'm reflecting the answers that already sparkle in your aura. Your truth; not mine. Your power, your potential, your possibilities. I merely report what I see, like a witness to your gifts and abilities.
This reading offers an extraordinary validation of who you are, and who you're becoming. And it does so in a way that empowers you to grow, change, and act in accordance with your highest good.

Calvin Richardson gives us some "Sexual Healing" vibes with this one. Although he isn't singing about anything the "youngins" aren't singing about, this is done so grown and sexy that it registers as an instant jam. Kudos to Eric Benet for signing Calvin to his Jordan House label and sending him out of the starting blocks on point.
I have questions. Artists have answers.

Chamberfolk: Three classically trained musicians playing original music, as intricately arranged as a string quartet, lyrically rooted in the singer/songwriter tradition, and wrapped in three-part vocal harmonies reminiscent of both Appalachia and Medieval Europe. Building from the tonal depth of the cello (or is it a bass?), layer in the shimmering sounds of a violin and the strikingly natural addition of banjo to create a sound at once familiar and impossible to categorize. Unapologetic genre-benders, Harpeth Rising fuses Folk, Newgrass, Rock and Classical into something organically unique.

I've been deeply troubled by recent events, specifically those acts by people who feel empowered to verbally attack or even virtually destroy others who differ from them in beliefs and opinions.
On Mob Mentality vs Personal Responsibility and Civility
December 27th, 2015
Friendsgiving, Time, Time Machines (sort of), Anesthesia and Safety, Seasonal Affective Disorder
December 20th, 2015
A short post after a weekend with dear friends. I touch briefly on several subjects of interest to me, and possibly to my listeners.
Music, From the Mouths of Babes, Debates, NYC, Farming, and Friends
December 17th, 2015
We added new intro and outro music. The song is Big Moon Rising from Grant Andrew's album Deep Brewed Life. You can listen to it on Spotify. Thanks to Mark for the voice work.
New York, Mandatory Interdependence, Specialization, and War
December 15th, 2015
Having just returned from my first trip to NYC, I have lots of thoughts for this and future podcasts. I've never felt so out-of-place, so far from home. I felt more at home in Nepal than I did in NYC.
On EMPs, Self-ownership, and the Overton Window
December 9th, 2015
Always a little ahead of myself, I managed to invite the whole world to listen before I knew what I was doing. Well, I still don't know what I'm doing (with the podcast), so here's 23 minutes of my talking about a few topics of interest to myself and maybe to you.
Breaking The Ice
December 7th, 2015
A podcast. Sure, why not? I've been blogging in one form or another since before medical school, so putting my ideas out for others to evaluate isn't something new to me. But putting my voice out there is a bit more unsettling.


text:
She has finished her chores for the morning and yet one still remains. The water needs to be fetched. She waits until a time that the other women will not be near. They do not want her around. She does not want to be with them either. They are not her friends; she knows what they think of her. She is past caring, one husband, two husbands… more than anyone cares to count. What is she to do? She is a woman - without a man, what does life have to offer her?
She does what she must to survive. It is hot and the road to the well is dusty. Her skin glistens with tiny beads of perspiration as she balances the water jug on her head. She has become indifferent to life. What is left to enjoy? Time has marched on and she has lost sight of her childhood dreams. Too many dashed, too many failed.
As she approaches the well she is surprised to see a man, alone. He is not from around here, in fact, he is one of them. A Jew. She stops… what should she do? Maybe it is more curiosity than need that causes her to draw near. Why is this man here when his kinsmen avoid hers so vehemently? Why has he come? Why? She knows men well. She does not fear them. She knows men well.
As she approaches the well he speaks to her…"Will you give me a drink of water?" There is kindness in His voice; his eyes are fixed upon hers, his gaze is steady, but not in the way that most men's gazes usually linger over her shape. She is intrigued. Surprised. "You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?" He is breaking every law, every rule that exists between them. He is a man, she a woman, He is a stranger, she is unknown and alone. He is a Jew, she a Samaritan. Drinking from her cup makes him unclean.
The moment will be forever etched in her mind. An encounter that will change her life has begun. He speaks to her of a gift of God. He talks of living water. She doesn't understand. She doesn't understand… but she knows she wants more. The air is ripe with peace, his eyes are pure love, and his voice carries life. Life that quenches the deepest thirst and water that washes away the past. His promises brim with hope. She wants what he is offering. It is not just his words that impact her; it is his presence and very being. There is a truth here that she has not encountered before and one that she can't deny.
"Give me this water," she pleads hoarsely, "so I won't get thirsty." Her soul desires to be quenched. It NEEDS to be quenched. A flame flickers in the darkness of her mind. And then her past appears before her. The man looks at her with deep eyes and quietly says 'Go call your husband,' She pauses. What should she say? Shame
fills her being and every cell feels the weight. She looks to the ground and murmurs, "I have no husband." The man speaks to her once more, as if reading her life from a scroll. He knows her. How can he know that she has had five husbands? How can he know that the man she shares a bed with will not call her wife?
The man lays her life bare and yet there is no judgment in his tone. He reveals her shame so gently and carefully, just between them. Not ridiculing her in public as others have done. How does he know her? Did he come seeking her? Was this not a random meeting? "I can see you are a prophet." She feels uncomfortable and tries to deflect with theology. Not understanding the divinity of the meeting.
As she takes this step back, he takes a step forward. Grace begins to move. He continues to woo her, breaking through her thinking, challenging her with new paradigms. She begins to awaken spiritually, just as the first rays of the morning sun transform the night sky into day. She tries again "I know Messiah is coming."
He is ready for her to finally know. She is ready to finally be known. His words pour over her, breaking down her wall of law and hurt with waves of love and acceptance. "I am he." She is undone. She is transformed. She has encountered the Messiah, YHWH in flesh.
He does not punish her for her sins, he accepts her despite them. He does not make her earn His love, he seeks her and woos her in her fallen state. Love is not about perfection, it is about acceptance. The water begins to flow… welling up and overflowing as he promised. She must go and tell everyone, anyone. She runs to town in such haste she leaves her water jar behind. She goes to the market place and calls out "Come see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?"
Her joy overflows as Grace's power enables. She has been looking for love all her life and now here is love. She has been set free and she cannot wait to share it. They listen, "Can she be right?" Yes, her words, so powerful they cannot deny it. The Spirit opens their ears. They come, they believe. Many more… because of her words and His love.
She is unnamed but she was always known
A paraphrased retelling of The Woman at the Well. John 4

The winter 2018 issue of Ryerson University Magazine is the second since we redesigned it in 2017. The publication is intended to connect alumni, donors, staff, and students to the inspiring stories coming out of the school. A school that is known for its progressive nature, vibrant energy, and inclusive spirit.
For this issue, we collaborated with photographer Christopher Boffoli (aka Big Appetites.) We're big fans of his work and really enjoyed working with him on the cover and subsequent story about Spanning the Gaps, a program that connects underrepresented communities with post-secondary institutions. Photographer Jennifer Roberts photographed a couple of the organizations staff, and two students who have benefited from the support, with excellent results.
You'll also find contributions from illustrator LeeAndra Cianci, photographers Arthur Mola, and Christopher Manson.

Want to make your company stronger? Encourage mindfulness at work
When people spend a lot of time together at work, they rub off on each other. Distractions, misunderstandings, stress and deadlines can converge to create unhappy and unproductive employees. One solution that's proving to be cost-effective and cost-saving is encouraging mindfulness at work.
Companies with a mindful workplace culture encourage their employees to be present on their own and with each other.
Mindfulness is paying attention or noting whatever is happening in the moment with a calm and open mind. It's more than paying attention though – being mindful is being present. Companies with a mindful workplace culture encourage their employees to be present on their own and with each other.
When people practice mindfulness at work they are better able to respond in the moment rather than react. Instead of multitasking, they commit to doing one task at a time, making them more effective. They can improve the quality of their interactions, communication and relationships, which builds trust. Mindfulness fosters a resilient workforce where employees get the job done without getting burned out in the process. This helps attract and retain talented people.
Here are some guidelines for building a mindful workplace culture for your business through formal programs and promoting the importance of being present:
Set a clear vision for organization health. Your priorities should encourage health and wellness in your workplace. Your goal is to create a work environment where people are happy, engaged, resilient and effective.
Support the idea at all levels of the organization. At Aetna, having a chairman who practices mindfulness and yoga certainly helps employees embrace both formal programs and the ideas behind them. It's also important to have managers and supervisors empower individuals throughout the company to participate in formal programs and practice mindfulness skills at work. Leaders can try inserting "mindful moments" into organizational, staff or one-to-one meetings to set an example.
Encourage employees to share personal experiences. More than 13,000 Aetna employees have participated in a mindfulness-based wellness program since 2011. Employees who use these programs consistently mention word-of-mouth recommendations from co-workers as a major reason for their participation.
Measure, measure, measure. Personal testimonials from co-workers will help engage employees, but it is also important to quantify results from any formal programs. Employers should establish clear goals initially and then measure before, during and after to see how a formal program is progressing.
Celebrate success. It is important to highlight employee success stories broadly to show the impact of company-sponsored programs at a personal level. Any company-wide results, such as improved productivity, can also demonstrate the benefit of the program to the entire organization.

Finding the right Christmas tree
It was an unusually warm late fall day when Randy Ketchum arrived at Bowser's Christmas Tree Farm on Stauffer Road in Lititz. He was on a mission to get the perfect tree and, between taking calls on his mobile phone and discussing the strengths and weaknesses of different species with owner Mark Bowser, he found the right seven foot Fraser Fir for his home.
Bowser loaded the tree into a special cart designed by his (late) father Lewis and drove it around to the parking area in front of Mark's brother's auto body business. The tree was loaded and Randy headed home a happy man.
Like Randy, millions of families will visit Christmas tree farms, greenhouses, produce stands, big box stores and pop-up operations in the weeks before Christmas to purchase the perfect tree for their holiday season.
The first and second weekends in December are the busiest for those selling a variety of trees and evergreen decorations. And at around $10 a foot, a decent tree is not inexpensive and will decorate a families' home for only about three weeks before being put out for trash or to be recycled into mulch.
If you want the Christmas tree farm experience, you'll find it in Lancaster County; but if you think you'll have dozens of choices, think again. Acreage is much too expensive here for farmers to wait eight to 10 years (that's how long it takes) for a tree to mature, and then sell it for $70-$80.
There's a long history of Christmas trees around here. Many early German immigrants used evergreen as part of their Christmas celebrations, and trees (a 1600s Lutheran tradition) date back to 1821 in this county.
Although a tree is a focal point in many homes, that is not the case for the Plain family community that feels decorations, especially a tree, are a distraction from the celebration of Christ's birth.
Getting the best tree at the right height, shaped correctly with needless that will last the season, all wrapped in a holiday smell can take some serious shopping.
At some tree farms, owners let customers cut down a tree if they cut the trunk at ground level, which is difficult. If a stump is left, mowing the tree farm and re-planting becomes difficult. Many tree farms let customers identify or tag the tree, and they will cut it and bale it. Some farms recut the trunk base while others just scrape it to allow water to be sucked up into the tree while it is in its stand.
If you purchase a tree at a garden center or big box store, or even at a seasonal stand in a parking lot, it will be advertised as "fresh cut." These trees use to be called "pre-cut," but for marketing purposes "fresh cut" has a better ring to it. Retailers usually get only one shipment of trees. They arrive in late November to be on sale right after Thanksgiving. Even some local tree farms might ship in a few species that don't thrive in the local soil.
A good source of information on Christmas trees is the Pennsylvania Christmas Tree Growers Association (http://www.christmastrees.org). A link on the website will show all the farms in the state by county.
There are not as many trees available this year as there have been in the past. During the recession of 2008, trees sales were way down, farms closed or started growing grapes or produce. Consequently, fewer seedlings were planted. These were the trees that matured this year. However, locally there appears to be plenty of selection. According to Tim Abbey of the Penn State Extension in York, there are 1,400 tree growers in the state with 31,000 acres planted with one million trees. He has not seen any shortages in Pennsylvania.
Here are some, but certainly not all, of your local options for securing the right tree for the season.
Bowser's Christmas Tree Farm551 Stauffer Road, Lititz
The Bowser family farm has 3.5 acres devoted to growing with space for nearly 6,000 trees. They grow Douglas Fir, Blue Spruce, and bring in Fraser Fir from a nearby farm. The Bowsers planted their first trees in 1985 and began selling in 1991. Mark Bowser's dad, Lewis H. Bowser Sr., was also an inventor who developed the Auger Transporter, which allows for easier replanting of new transplants next to stumps in a tree farm. Nearly 1,000 of the patented units are, according to Mark, in use in the United States and Canada. Douglas
Fir is Bowser's most popular seller in a height just under seven feet.
Elizabeth Farms212 Hopeland Road, Brickerville
Elizabeth is one of the largest tree farms in Southeast Pennsylvania. They sell farm cut, fresh cut and balled trees. They grow a variety of species, and customers can have their trees cut right in the field. It's become a local Christmas destination over the years, an "experience," as owner Bill Copeland describes it. The farm has wagon rides, food trucks, a gift shop, petting zoo, and a large train display. Nearly 50,000 visitors are welcomed at the farm each holiday season. Copeland sells wholesale and retail and has been growing trees for 30 years.
Spruce Villa Brunnerville & Newport roads, Lititz
This is one of the smallest tree farms in the county. Dana Clark and his family grow trees on a dairy farm that has been in the family for seven generations.
"We are a niche operation," Clarks says, "and only open weekends or by appointment."
Spruce Villa has a little of everything, including Douglas Fir and Blue Spruce. Word-of-mouth and a small sign by the road is the way you hear about this place. Clark says their trees are more natural looking, as they are only lightly trimmed and shaped every spring.
While most farms sell trees by the foot or by height range, Spruce Villa sells any size at a fixed price. Customers may cut down their own tree on the farm, or they will cut it for you.
Stauffers of Kissel Hill1050 Lititz Pike
SKH will sell nearly 12,000 trees at its eight stores during the holiday season and stocks Douglas, Fraser, Concolor and White Pine. The trees are kept moist with a sprinkler system in the garden center storage space to absorb water prior to sale. Open through Dec. 24, many of the locations have been known to sell out their stock of fresh cut trees before Christmas.
The list of area tree sellers is long and also includes major players like Esbenshade Garden Center and Greenhouse in Brickerville, Abe's Tree Farm on Butter Road in Lancaster, and Dean's Trees on Lititz Pike (Dean's grows trees locally and regionally). And pop-up operations can be found on many street corners, similar to Mother's Day flower vendors. So, if you haven't bought your tree yet, what are you waiting for?

Our fifth 2018 WHACC AM Learning Series Round Table discussion was held on Tuesday, August 28 and focused on Entrepreneurism.
The Round Table discussion was lead by Judy Abelman, Principal, Abelman Communications, Mark Bailin, President, Diamond Signs and Graphics, and Tammy Dubin, Workforce Management Consultant with Core Potential Coaching, LLC.
The program began with a lively conversation about the definition of an "entrepreneur." Bailin noted that an "entrepreneur is looking at his or her business from many different views. From the outside in. They must look at what is happening now to make things go smoothly and what it takes to grow and be around in the future."
Bailin went on to discuss the importance of a vision for 3, 5 and 10 years out. He shared highlights of the 3-year vision he created for his company – which includes a clear definition of customers, what he needs from employees, where he'll be located, what equipment he'll need and what products he'll produce. To get there, he's created a marketing and sales plan, clear structure with processes and tools and a critical organizational chart to determine who does what in the small company.
Dubin focused her insights on the importance of good staffing for entrepreneurs. She shared a recent update from "Human Resources Today" on the 10 Recruiting Trends you should Implement in 2018. Here are eight of the trends which would be of importance to startup or small company:
- Recruitment Marketing – 70% of candidates are passive – you need to go after them.
- Inbound Recruiting– 62% of candidates listed a company's career site as the top channel for researching new job opportunities.
- Employer Brand – 69% of job seekers would not take a job in a company with a bad reputation.
- Candidate Relationship Management– 98% of candidates who had a good experience in recruiting would encourage others to apply.
- General Data Protection Regulation– new regulations went into effect on 5/25/18- know them!
- Talent Pool– 48% of global employers report a talent shortage as their greatest challenge. It's competitive out there for good talent!
- Candidate Experience– 88% of candidates with a good experience in recruiting would increase their purchases with that company
- Social Recruiting – 73% of millennials found their last job through a social media site.
Abelman then took it local and shared five entrepreneurial predictions for 2018 in Northeast Ohio. These were authored by Todd Goldstein, of LaunchHouse, and were first published in "Crain's Cleveland Business" in January, 2018. They include:
- The companies that do the best will be the ones that play to Northeast Ohio's strengths. We don't need to compete with Silicon Valley – our region excels at manufacturing, healthcare and food.
- Libraries will continue to evolve as hubs for entrepreneurs. Libraries across Cuyahoga County are evolving to be more than just repositories of knowledge – they will be places where entrepreneurs launch their big idea.
- The conversation around supporting startups will shift from "funding" to "community". To keep our local startups growing we need to look into ways to help them beyond funding. Many in the business community can provide access to networks, mentoring opportunities and guidance for startups.
- There will be an increase in collaboration between entrepreneurial communities in Cleveland, Akron and Youngstown. Each city has developed its own unique entrepreneurial community … and it's only natural that collaboration will increase between them.
- Suburbs will play an increased role in Northeast Ohio's economic development. Members of the "gig economy" and freelancers are increasing; more parents are staying at home and starting side hustles. And that's great news for WHACC!
Bailin concluded the program with a great thought, "As the entrepreneur, I drive the bus and everyone else follows my lead. I need to make the decisions where the bus goes. This can be very hard. Decisions need to be made not based on individuals – but for the organization to grow."
Recommended Reading: "The E-Myth Revisited"by Michael E. Gerber
AM Learning Series Round Tables are absolutely free and open to the public. The goal is to incorporate networking, open discussion, and valuable content with all WHACC members and to kick off a committee to answer questions in the future.
However, the number of attendees is limited to 20 to ensure a robust and worthwhile discussion. So be sure to register for our last Round Table on September as we discuss Technology trends and challenges.

The International tasting competition "2017 Russian Union of Viticulturists and Winemakers' Cup" held in the framework of the annual All-Russia Winemakers' Summit in Abrau Durso is considered the most authoritative national winemaking contest assessed by the world's leading wine experts.
Fanagoria has won the following rewards:
- Grand Prix, the title of Russia's Best White Wine 2017 – A Hundred Shades of White. Chardonnay Fanagoria 2015
- Gold medal – Cru Lermont Chardonnay 2015
- Silver medal – Cru Lermont Riesling 2015
- Silver medal – A Hundred Shades of Red. Saperavi 2015
- Silver medal – Blanc de Blancs Brut Fanagoria 2016 (Charmat method)
Vladimír Pukis, Fanagoria PR Director: "In Abrau Durso, all stands were crowded, including ours. If before the prizewinners were announced, many would ask us about our 'platinum Saperavi,' after the announcement the [new] best Russian white wine, A Hundred Shades Chardonnay 2015, became the soloist".
Two international judges – Robert Joseph from London and Darrell Joseph from Vienna – traditionally highly evaluated our extension line A Hundred Shades, and said that if the quality of Fanagoria classic sparkling extra brut fully corresponded with its shelf price, the quality of our Charmat brut Blanc de Blancs was by an order higher than its modest price (about 450 rubles). It was so good that Robert Joseph did not hesitate to come to our dinner table once again later that evening to show a thumb up and say: "Your Charmat brut is something"!
By the way, for three times in a row our Blanc de Blancs Brut has been receiving silver medals at the Chardonnays du Monde tasting contest held in Burgundy.
The jury panel for the RUVW Cup consisted of a number of leading international and national wine experts:
- Stephane Derenoncourt, French oenologist, consultant of Bordeaux wineries
- Attilio Scienza, Italian oenologist, Professor of the University of Milan
- Anatoli Korneyev, Executive Director of the Russian Sommeliers Association
- Nicoletta Dicova, Italy/Bulgaria, wine writer, a sought-after expert on natural and biodynamic wines
- Robert Joseph, UK, founder of Wine International and International Wine Challenge.
- Darrel Joseph, Austria, independent expert specialized in Central and East European wines
Yevgeni Romanishin, Fanagoria Commercial Director: "The summit in Abrau Durso is an interesting and important ground for all Russian winemakers. The fact that Minister of Agriculture Aleksandr Tkachev and head of the United Russia's State Duma faction Sergei Neverov attended the event is evidence of us being seen and heard, which in its turn opens up new prospects for the advancement of the Russian winemaking industry. Grand Prix is an important and valuable prize for every employee of Fanagoria, because every wine is the result of hard work of the whole team. My congratulations to all our colleagues"!

Happy New Year! Here's to opening a new chapter, starting a blank slate, erasing the chalkboard and starting anew, opening a new door – yeah, you get it 🙂 But, seriously, how nice is it to not have to plan and prep for the holidays (for another year), to put away all of the decorations, and to set some inspiring goals for this new year!
Pam and I are SO looking forward to a great new year here at Housewives of Frederick County! Hopefully, if you've been a reader for awhile, you'll notice that we've changed the look of the blog so that it's "easier on the eye" and also easier to navigate, so you can get to the information that you would like to access! This is just one of the many changes we'd like to make on this blog journey of ours!
But before we dive into 2015, we'd like to take a minute to look back on the great year we had in 2014! I decided to feature a round-up of our top 10 best posts since we started our blog in October 2012! These are posts that you, our loyal reader, determined to be the most popular – in other words, these are the posts that had the most page views!
Coming in at the #1 spot is His Name Was Shawn. Many of you know that Pam and I had the awesome opportunity to portray the main characters in Investigation Discovery's "Evil Twins" – the episode we were in was titled "Sacrificial Lamb" (you can look up the episode on YouTube and on Amazon!). Well, Pam decided to summarize our experience, as well as memorialize the tragic victim in this true story – little Shawn by writing this post. This is, in my opinion, THE most emotional and important post we've ever posted, so it makes sense that it has the most page views out of any other post we've written!
Reaching the #2 spot of our best, most popular posts is Loaded Mashed Cauliflower. Nowadays, successful weight loss efforts really stress low carb recipes and options. This recipe fits the bill AND is Weight Watcher's-friendly – 3 points plus value per serving? Come to mama! Doesn't hurt that this recipe is DEE-lish too!

#4? Why, that would be ANOTHER recipe 🙂 White Chicken Chili is the perfect recipe that is a whole meal in a saucepan, great for leftovers AND (I think you know what I'm about to say) is Weight Watcher's-friendly at 5 points plus value per serving! This post was pinned 780 times on Pinterest! Head on over to Pinterest and pin that bad boy 🙂
The 5th best, most popular post on Housewives of Frederick County is a great round-up post for anybody who needs quick and easy dinner ideas – 10 Quick & Healthy Dinner Ideas for the Frazzled Sports Mom.

Free & Low Cost Summer Activities in Frederick, Maryland offers some great ideas on places to go and activities to do during the summer months in Frederick, Maryland. Our area here in Frederick (for Frederick and surrounding area readers) has a wealth of fun goings-on, but to have it in a convenient list makes it so much easier to fill your calendar!
You're going to love our 7th best, most popular post – Zucchini Quiche Muffins! These are not only delicious, but you can make these ahead of time if you want to, and heat them up in the morning! And I guess our top posts kind of have a theme – because this amazing recipe is Weight Watcher's-friendly at 2 points plus value per muffin! Just to prove that these belong in your repertoire of food options, I'll just mention that this post has been pinned on Pinterest over one-thousand times!

text: Distance. It's the key to improving as a long distance runner. This is an Iphone self portrait I made on a local trail. The slogan is a play on the saying "Distance makes the heart grow fonder". I selected this image for the WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge of "Future Tense" because I feel it conveys the idea of present-leading-to-future training. You can sense the path that the runner intends to cover and the distance he must go.

Match ends, Hibernian 4, Rangers 0.
Hibernian 4-0 Rangers
- From the section Football
Hibernian swept Rangers aside at Easter Road to make Kenny McDowall's debut in charge of the visitors a painful one.
With Scott Allan hugely impressive in the home midfield, Rangers were comprehensively dismantled.
Allan laid on passes for Scott Robertson and Liam Craig to shoot home in the second half.
David Gray opened the scoring with a wonderful strike on eight minutes, with Jason Cummings adding a close-range finish soon after.
A third consecutive victory for Hibs narrows the gap to second-placed Rangers to four points and gives Championship leaders Hearts the opportunity to move 15 points clear when they face Livingston later on Saturday.
Hibs were worthy winners, having played with style and purpose, while Rangers look ever more forlorn.
The notion that a new era might begin with McDowall barely lasted beyond his first team selection. The Rangers side was unchanged from Ally McCoist's last game at the helm before being put on gardening leave and being succeeded by his assistant.
Hibs struck early and their complete command of the game was dispiriting for the visitors.
The hosts were well organised with a diamond shape in midfield which allowed them to dominate centrally, with full-backs Gray and Lewis Stevenson always eager to get forward.
Stevenson had enjoyed a couple of forays forward before Gray became involved, but the right-back was soon prominent.
When a cross was cleared to him at the edge of the box, he took time to steady himself before carefully arrowing a shot into Steve Simonsen's top right-hand corner.
Four minutes later, it was Allan's cross that Craig volleyed back across goal to Cummings, who turned the ball into the empty net.
Only 12 minutes had been played, but Rangers were already too far adrift for redemption.
Much of that was due to the excellence of Allan. His passing, creativity, ability to run with the ball and chutzpah were all evident over the course of the game.
|Scottish Premiership play-offs explained
|Scottish Premiership bottom team relegated, Scottish Championship winner promoted
|Championship third- and fourth-placed teams play two-legged quarter-final
|Winner plays Championship runner-up in two-legged semi-final
|Winner of that plays Premiership second-bottom team in two-legged final
Some of Rangers' woes were self-inflicted, though, since Ian Black was booked for a reckless and crude lunging tackle, and was substituted before half-time because McDowall clearly felt that he could not restrain his tackling.
Black wasn't happy, and kicked the dugout after being replaced by Kyle Hutton.
Hibs were unfazed and Robertson almost scored a third when he reached the rebound from a Cummings shot that Simonsen parried, but the midfielder turned his shot wide.
The Easter Road side were wholly dominant, although there was a brief flurry of aggression and intent from Rangers just after the break.
A half-chance even fell to substitute Kris Boyd, but he could not make full contact with the ball and skewed it wide.
The hosts might have previously been too frail psychologically to hold their nerve but manager Alan Stubbs is making significant progress.
He could also rely on the accomplishment of Allan as the midfielder created two more goals.
First, he slipped a pass to Robertson, who placed a shot beyond Simonsen's reach.
Eight minutes later, his daring run ended with a chip across the box to Craig, who carefully steered a volley into the far corner with his instep.
Rangers bemoaned a Nicky Law effort that was blocked on the line by Liam Fontaine but, in truth, they were never in contention.
Hibs thoroughly deserved the victory - with Allan even indulging in some tricks and feints before the end - and the Easter Road side will feel that they can yet achieve promotion this season.

Sometimes you just get a feeling about a couple - you click instantly, and they feel like old friends rather than wedding photography clients. Kayleigh and James are one of these couples - from the moment we first spoke over Skype about photography for their upcoming wedding at Walcot Hall, I knew they were going to be F.U.N.
So when James emailed me sneakily to cook up plans for a surprise "re-proposal" during their planned engagement shoot in Snowdonia, I was even more excited! Kayleigh had no idea, but James had commissioned a beautiful engagement ring to be hand made, and it was ready just in time for our engagement shoot in Wales.
James and I came up with a trigger phrase to let me know when he was about to pop the question - he was going to say something along the lines of "this location is MINT". He certainly kept me hanging - leaving it until after we'd played around with smoke bombs (a practice run for some smoke bomb wedding photography at Walcot Hall), and until the sun was nearly setting. We were walking along the beach at Harlech, and suddenly there it was - MINT - my cue. And then he was down on one knee, and I was literally crying a little bit behind my camera.
Kayleigh was clearly totally surprised, and over the moon - she kept saying how much the ring was like her Grandmother's ring. I felt so lucky to have played a part in the surprise, and am so happy to be able to share the photos from our beautiful beach engagement shoot.

March 2013: What does the way we drive say about us?
A long time ago, I read one of these firang's-first-time-in-India travel books, where he said that, when Indians want to go somewhere, they just point their cars in the direction and drive, side-of-road, traffic signals, etc, be damned. Not fair, we're not that bad, I thought, but on second thought…
I've had a driving license from Noida, in the much maligned UP, since I was 18. I remember taking a proper test, driving alone around a veritable obstacle course, and passing. Ten years later, when I wanted to get one in Mumbai as my old one had expired, I was told that, no matter where else in India I have my license from, or for how long I've had it, in Maharashtra, I have to be a learner for a month first. Which I think is ridiculous; even Australia lets you get a license for merely possessing an Indian one! But a few friends said the possible justification is that Maharashtra has better driving than the rest of India, the state wants to maintain its standard of road safety, which is apparently higher than the rest of the country. "In Rajasthan, I know a blind person who has a license," one said.
A couple of weeks ago, I went for my driving test in Andheri, to go from learner to full-license-holder. As I stood in line to get tested, someone came to me and asked whether I wanted to jump the line, for Rs 200. "Yahan sab kuch bribe se chalta hai," he said. Well, apparently not necessarily bribe, but inefficiency se. When my turn finally came, I was put in to a driving school car, you know the ones where the instructor has pedals in the passenger seat... The 'passenger' drove for me in first gear, even when I protested that I could drive, no problem! I 'drove', straight, for a distance the width of a Mumbai building. "Chalo, aap pass ho gaye," he said, stopping the car to let me off. And, a few days ago, my brand new and spanking smart card license arrived home.
My experience was not unique. Ami Mane, 24, was similarly co-driven down a road, but at least she was made to demonstrate reversing. Another friend who, daunted by the chaos of the system, went through a tout, never even went for the 'test', thought he did go to be fingerprinted and photographed. So when the newspapers point out that an accident-causing driver was a juvenile/without a license, forgive me for thinking: what a farce.
Cut to my driving test in Australia last year. Since I didn't have a valid Indian license, I had to start from scratch. While other states have it easier, Australian Capital Territory (ACT) has the strictest driving license laws. Before being allowed to even take the multiple-choice theory test, driving license hopefuls have to attend a weekend-long workshop, the fees of which includes three attempts at the objective test. After passing this test, we would have to be learners for between six months and two years, and would not be allowed to drive unless we had zero blood alcohol and a full-license-holder in the car. After passing a driving test, we'd hold provisional licenses for three years, and only then would we get full licenses. Phew!
As I sat mugging up my manual in the run-up to the weekend, I wondered what this workshop was going to be about. What happened was this: in the two days of coaching, the instructor rarely mentioned the words 'fine' or 'punishment' to our class of 20. Instead, we were taught the reasons behind the rules. We were shown and discussed videos of driving accidents caused by speeding drivers; made to challenge our concentration through a card game to demonstrate why talking on the phone would make one a worse driver; and made to walk lines in glasses that simulated being drunk. (Interestingly, Australia doesn't use the work 'drunk' driving/driver, but 'drink' driving/driver, subtly driving home the point that your blood alcohol level is what matters, even though you may not be or feel drunk. It also has graphic and no-nonsense ad campaigns for safe driving: 'People DIE on ACT Roads', different from our funny ones: 'Safety on Roads, Safe Tea at Home'.)
This was not what I expected, and some point during the workshop I had an epiphany. You see, I carry the baggage of the way we are taught to follow rules in India, with the carrot and stick approach, where the emphasis is on the punishment for getting caught. The 'why/why not' is not about the reasons for doing/not doing certain things or following/not following the law, but about doing them when convenient and escaping the eyes of the law. Notice how, several years after the seatbelt law was passed, many cab drivers will put theirs on only when they enter Mumbai from the Mumbai-Pune Expressway.
Sociologically, we are considered a collectivist society as opposed the West's individualistic one, which is why we lay such a misguided emphasis on preserving 'culture'. Scratch the surface, and beneath the mass hysteria at Ganesh Chaturthi (transformed into a public celebration by Tilak to unite and promote nationalism in Maharashtrian Hindus), the idealising of the joint family system and of the long suffering Mother India figure, and there emerges a picture of a people who each believes that s/he comes first, with the deep-seated hypocrisy and disdain for governance of the individualist in a mismanaged collectivist society. So we double park to run in to a store or to touch-and-go at a temple; see red lights as out to personally inconvenience our day; dodge traffic cops down one-ways; and tail ambulances and cavalcades when possible to travel home in the fast lane…
There are manifold challenges with this approach of and to the law. First, the most basic lesson of good teaching: encouraging parroting and promoting punishment as opposed to explaining reasons will leave any lesson unlearnt. And, for a pushy, me-first race like Indians, that will only mean following the law until one doesn't get caught, making the government seem autocratic and dictatorial. This approach also puts undue pressure on policing—and with the ability to bribe policemen for the smallest offences to the BMW hit-and-run deaths, where's the fear of that? A 'because I say so' Chinese-government-type attitude will (and does) not work on the Indian psyche, and certainly not when law enforcement is suspect, lax and distrusted.
As the country rages against the fraudulent education imparted by the IIPMs, may I suggest that the government work at systematically and systemically educating Indians that road rules are for a reason—and for their personal as well as others' good. And us, with the fire in our bellies to challenge authority: let's save our energy to change the system in spheres that really matter.

Macrame has landed in the wedding world in a big way. Brides are using the delicate patterns of the craft in backdrops, bunting, and other macrame wedding decor to complement their dresses and florals. It's a beautiful way to add handmade to the big day. As we know, handmade pieces have a weight, a presence, and a magic that takes a space to the next level—wedding spaces included.
I'm working with a handful of brides this year on macrame weddings. We're busy designing ceremony backdrops, chandeliers, and hanging plants to add boho charm and softness to other rustic notes they are including in their weddings—outdoor, lakeside ceremonies and wooden farmhouse tables for the reception, to name a few.
Here are some macrame wedding designs I love (and a few I created myself, too):
Macrame doesn't have to be big and complicated (or expensive). It can be simple and beautiful, almost whisper-like, and still make a big impact.
But hey, there ain't no shame in going big. Just look at this mega beauty.
This multi-paneled piece is high-impact without being fussy (or competitive with the bride.) Sometimes simple is just the ticket.
Such a sweet and simple piece. This macrame creation would be easy to save and display in the couple's home after the wedding day.
My macrame plant wall design is perfect for brides who want to weave together their florals and their decor. Just imagine this piece festooned with wedding flowers! One of my brides plans to use this panel as a backdrop behind the cake, then as decor on her sunny home.
My large, chunky macrame bunting would look beautiful at the reception, perhaps even in the photo booth. It's festive without being fussy.
Of course, brides love this piece. It's definitely one of my most popular designs. One of my brides has commissioned a special-to-her version of this design as the ceremony backdrop. She then plans to hang the piece in her home, as art and as a remind of she and her husband's special day.
I love working with brides, but I keep a limited availability for wedding work so that I can deliver what each of my wedding clients wants, to a T. If you would like to explore macrame for your wedding, I'd love to join you!

Jun '16 – Aug '16
At the Center for Accessibility and Inclusion Research, Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester, New York
I developed smartglasses to help deaf/Deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) students learn better in mainstream classrooms. Working with two other students, we tested whether displaying the American Sign Language (ASL) translation on the glasses would improve lecture comprehension, compared to just having an interpreter in the room.
I learned how to program in Android Studio and improved the application (created the previous summer) that allows users to adjust the video viewed on the glasses by using one's smartphone. I helped design and conduct our experiment and then analyze its results. We found no significant positive nor negative effect in comprehension with the smart glasses, but participants were enthusiastic about the technology and saw many benefits for their own lives. We expected a more significant effect to be found in a future experiment involving students taking notes, as opposed to only watching a lecture.
I presented at RIT's Undergraduate Research Symposium and co-authored a paper accepted to the CHI '17 conference. This experience strengthened my interpersonal skills with the fun challenge of communicating with my DHH peers while still learning ASL. This REU also sparked my passion for accessibility research.

IT was his last night in Russia, and the American pianist Daniel Pollack had just finished a performance at the American ambassador's residence that was thronged with Russians. He was addressing the audience, speaking of his affection for this land, of its enduring musicality, of friendships dating from Khrushchev's time.
He then paused.
"It's happening now," he said, smiling and choking up a little. "I get filled with so much emotion when I'm leaving."
Mr. Pollack, 74, first forged a kind of soulful bond with Russia during one of the most momentous cultural events of the cold war, and in the decades since he has often seemed more popular here than in the United States. He returns regularly, as if to acknowledge that while he lives in Los Angeles, his musical home could well be Moscow.
His reception here points up a truth about relations between these two nations: no matter the politics, the people can find a way to get along.
On this last visit, in March, Mr. Pollack was asked to give a master class at the elite Moscow Conservatory, an honor not usually bestowed on foreigners. (Around here, the idea that an American could teach Russians how to play virtuoso piano might be considered about as plausible as a Russian teaching Americans how to play Major League baseball.)Continue reading the main story
He spent three days making a recording with a Russian label, and performed a program of Chopin and other composers at the ambassador's residence, called Spaso House, on an American Steinway piano that was donated by another American who once sought to build bridges between the cold war superpowers, the industrialist Armand Hammer.
Some of the Russians in the audience recalled how under Communism, Mr. Pollack's recordings were so prized that copies were circulated from Kiev to Vladivostok by bootleggers with the zeal of Grateful Dead fans.
"We have a love affair together, me and the Russian people," Mr. Pollack said in a conversation the next morning, his voice deep and slightly raspy. Besides cuts on his right thumb and a finger, the result of dry skin and lengthy rehearsals, he seemed unburdened by a heavy schedule.
"I have a special feeling in playing for them, and they with me," he said. "It is a tremendous emotional experience for me. This is something that you carry with you all the time. I will play in Germany, I play here, I play there, but it's not like playing in Russia. So I keep coming back."
It all began almost on a whim.
MR. POLLACK, a child prodigy who performed with the New York Philharmonic at the age of 9 and studied at Juilliard, was in Vienna in 1958 on a Fulbright scholarship. At the last moment, his teacher suggested that he take part in a new music competition in Moscow named after Tchaikovsky, perhaps Russia's most famous composer.
With little preparation, Mr. Pollack got on a train and crossed the Iron Curtain, accompanied by his wife, Noemi, then and now his traveling partner. The Soviets hoped to use the competition to demonstrate the superiority of their musicians, but it turned into an international sensation when another American, Van Cliburn, triumphed.
Mr. Pollack was a finalist, itself an achievement, coming in eighth. Behind the scenes, he said he was told that he would have placed higher but the judges could not bear having two Americans at the top.
Even so, he won something else — a lifelong relationship with this land.
After the competition, he went on a two-month concert tour through Russia and Ukraine, sometimes performing before people who had rarely if ever glimpsed an American. He was back again in 1961 for another two-month tour.
The Tchaikovsky competition catapulted his career, and over the years he has performed with many of the world's most prominent orchestras. He also became a piano instructor, and now teaches at the Thornton School of Music at the University of Southern California.
Still, he has kept returning here. Since that first trip, he has visited the Soviet Union and its successor states 16 times, far more than any other country. His fame was understandable: here was an American whose career was made by Russia and who had embraced the works of Russian composers: Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff, Prokofiev and Shostakovich.
It was not lost on his Russian admirers that Mr. Pollack has familial roots in these parts, or that he studied with one of Russia's most famous émigré teachers, Rosina Lhevinne, who herself studied at the Moscow Conservatory. Mr. Pollack often recalls that Ms. Lhevinne instilled in him the Russian ideal that one should approach the piano as a singing, not percussive, instrument.
"Daniel is a legend here," said Yuri Didenko, co-founder of Classical Records, the Russian label that invited him to record on his visit. "Sometimes even very famous musicians come from abroad, and they do not reach the public here. It is because they do not play in a way that is close to the Russian heart. When Daniel plays, they relate to him beautifully."
Of course, performing in the Soviet Union was not easy. Visits were canceled when tensions with the West spiked. The K.G.B. kept close watch. But Mr. Pollack said that he always tried to sidestep politics.
"Russians are very feeling people, aside from what is happening in the government," he said. "I have always felt that here."
SINCE the fall of Communism, he has visited every year or two, even performing in 2000 in the Belarusian city of Pinsk, the birthplace of his father, who later emigrated to the United States. (Mr. Pollack's mother was from Ukraine.) Last year, he performed at a concert celebrating the 50th anniversary of the 1958 Tchaikovsky competition.
Mr. Pollack said he marveled at how Russians had an instinctual feel for classical music that Americans lacked, though he conceded that this was not necessarily the case with the younger generation.
Mr. Pollack has never learned more than a few bits of conversational Russian, nor has he spent long periods here teaching. But he has worked to support Russian cultural institutions, including music conservatories in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
At home, he has mentored students from Russia. "They have a command of the piano already," he said. "I don't have to sit and teach them technique — 'Do you know your scales? Do you know how to do this?' — because it's already ingrained in them from childhood."
For now, he is already thinking about his next trip here. He said it was hard to turn down offers, not only because of his longstanding ties but also because of the highest of compliments that he often receives from Russians:
Musically, they say, you are one of us.Continue reading the main story

Your source for Temecula, CA and Southwest Riverside County lifestyle, events, & area information
Jane Austen's classic Pride and Prejudice is slated to come alive in the gorgeous setting of Briar Rose Winery for two weekends only. *Stay tuned for your opportunity to win tickets from Temecula Qponer*
Doors open at 6 p.m. and performances begin at 7 p.m.
As described by the Shakespeare in the Vines website, "Directed by Missie Van Beeber, all the wit and romance of Jane Austen's classic 1813 novel come to life in this refreshingly fast-paced and engaging new adaptation." Food and wine will be available.
About the show:
Finding a husband is hardly Elizabeth Bennet's most urgent priority. But with four sisters, an overzealous match-making mother, and a string of unsuitable suitors, it's a subject that 's difficult to escape. When the independent-minded Elizabeth meets the handsome but enigmatic Mr. Darcy, she is determined not to let her feelings triumph over her own good sense — but the truth turns out to be slipperier than it seems. In a society where subtle snubs and deceit proliferate, is it possible for Elizabeth and Darcy to look beyond his pride and her prejudice, and to make the best match of all?
Note: Pride and Prejudice is the show for fall season, and is not part of the Shakespeare in the Vines Summer season ticket holders program.
Staged at the beautiful Briar Rose Winery, seats will be provided, though cushions and blankets are advised, especially with the nights turning chilly once again!

Or in honor of September 11, owner Lee Linkogle's personal and memorable, We Remember wine. This vintage honors Linkogle's fellow men and woman who dedicated their lives to defend our country everyday without rest. The structure of the wine is pure bliss with a Bordeaux like structure with fruits of exceptional flavor and character. Enjoy this rich firm finish without a heavy round mouth feel.
