Top-notch service!
I recommend Brazil Yacht Services for all bureaucratic, concierge and port-related services associated with marine operations in Brazil. As mission manager for M/V Alucia, I work very closely with agents on all aspects of missions, from planning to permit acquisition to implementation of all details associated with a successful trip. Prior to being referred to Brazil Yacht Services, I had appointed a different agent to manage our trip. After several road blocks, this agent finally conceding to the fact that they would not be able to obtain permits for M/V Alucia to enter Brazilian waters and complete the five missions planned. This left us very far behind at the time and I contacted Brazil Yacht Services.
Brazil Yacht Services not only got the job done, but did an amazing job. Every step of the way they were very honest about the process and the likelihood of success. They were extremely responsive and available at all times of day or night. Not only did we receive top-notch service from them personally, but they appointed the very best local agents in each of the seven ports M/V Alucia called in, providing us with invaluable local expertise everywhere the ship was. They went above and beyond in every aspect, leaving no detail overlooked. From providing a bilingual agent representative to take the crew shopping to providing the absolute best price on fuel for bunkering, every single aspect of each trip was down to the minute detail – no request was too big or too small.
I am confident that without Brazil Yacht Services swift action and intimate understanding of the very complicated Brazilian bureaucracy, M/V Alucia would not have acquired the necessary permits for the planned missions. And I am quite sure that without their amazing attention to detail and true caring for the success of their clients and their goals, our missions would not have been the astounding success they were. We owe it all to Brazil Yacht Services.
Thank you for your assistance
I owe a great deal of gratitude to BYS for their support and assistance for our cruise from the Amazon. Without them, it would have been a lot harder for us to complete, and certain parts of it unthinkable to contemplate how I would have done it/
Fabrizio, Alex, Adam and Joao- thank you very much for your assistance and careful guidance. I look forward to seeing you again soon when we return to Brazil.
Worked on a very short notice
M/Y Meduse had the pleasure of visiting Brazil earlier this year. With some very short notice we contacted BYS and requested their assistance for a wide variety of services.
BYS appointed Fabrizio Ottoni Limena as our on-scene contact for the company. Every day was a challenge for BYS as our plans kept changing on a daily bases. In the end, Meduse spent approximately 1 month in Brazil and I can say that it would have been a completely different and difficult experience for us. BYS services assured that it was a smooth visit.
I and the whole crew, had a fantastic experience with Adam, Frabrizio and those working in the background. I therefore would like to recommend.
Would use again
We are pleased to confirm that we used the services of Brazil Yacht Services in Rio de
Janeiro on a recent three week visit to Rio and the National Park of Ilha Grande/Angra/Paraty. We found this company to be very efficient, very responsive and we would use them in the future if we were again visiting in that area.

7th LITVAK DAYS IN LONDON. DAY 2. CONFERENCE: THE LITVAK IMPACT ON THE ARTS
In modern times Jews contributed markedly to the traditional fine arts of painting and sculpture, as well as music, photography, prose and poetry, theatre and architecture. Litvak Jews, in many respects, made extraordinary contributions to a plethora of diverse fields of creative endeavour.
The aim of this 7th Litvak Days is to examine the vibrant manifestations of Litvak Jewish talent and imagination in the context of their complicated history and legacy. The world celebrates the exceptional musician Yasha Heifetz, the painter Chaim Soutine, the sculptor Jacques Lipschitz, the artist Judy Chicago, and the photographer Alter Kacyzne, to name but a few. They existed in the fertile field of Lithuanian art as well as that of world art. We invite you to learn more about these and other figures.

Last week I had the opportunity to sit down with some of the smartest people I know to talk strategy and social innovation in service to our work in the world. Together these thought leaders gathered to discuss ways to advance the ideas and actions that will propel our strategy for eliminating barriers and improving economic and social well-being. It was a thrilling exercise. So often leaders get caught up in the minutiae of day to day that they don't take the time to call on the expertise of their colleagues and advisors and consumers to help them think through the most important aspect of their work: strategy. I am lucky, indeed, to be able to call on a brilliant cadre of thinkers.
We had a great meeting. It reminded me of how important it is not to operate in a vacuum but to bring the best minds one can find to keep us on track, tell us what we don't know or can't see, consider different points of view, and help move us into new thinking and advance our general connection to the future. It ensures that our "plan" is truly a living and dynamic blueprint that is ever evolving to meet the needs of the individuals—and the society—we serve. It helps us to develop new approaches and gives us confidence to move ahead.
I will confess that I don't really like the terminology "strategic planning." I think that it suggests a static state. To me, strategy is about action, about innovation, and about change. Our strategy is really about practicing social innovation—excavating ideas, solutions, and pathways that create true social value and that allow for original solutions to a societal problem that are truly more efficient, more just, more relevant, more sustainable, and that have more impact than what is currently being tried.
Working with a group of advisors is always a good idea. What made this meeting different is that I was surrounded by innovators and thinkers who have taken huge risks in their careers and have made enormous impact in their respective fields. I am a fan of risk—with the obvious caveat that it must be managed and pitfalls identified. Working alongside this group of thinkers inspired me to continue my own push forward to identify those precise interventions that will continue to challenge the stigma and eliminate barriers.
We plan to engage others and grow and expand the group of advisors who are willing to share their experiences and help us achieve our goals, moving to cities and communities across our footprint. I look forward to these conversations as I am made better by them every time.
What do you do to make sure that your vision turns to reality and that your planning never becomes stale?

Ten Reasons
Hire An Artist
Joe Guzzardi, 12/27/2012 [
More Immigration Equals Fewer American Jobs
More Immigration Equals Fewer American Jobs
By Joe Guzzardi
The Los Angeles Times, California's most widely read daily newspaper rarely publishes stories critical of immigration or the resultant population growth that drives the state's overcrowding.The Times immigration-avoidance guidelines aren't written in its manual. But evidence that the Times won't deal with immigration's negatives, clear though they are even to casual observers, is overwhelming. If Times' readers want to understand what's really going on with immigration and population, they have to be well informed and willing to read between the lines.
In his December 21 story titled More People Moving to the United States, reporter Don Lee laid out the facts: as of July 1, the Census Bureau pegged U.S. population at nearly 314 million, up 2.3 million from last year. California with 38 million people remains the nation's most populated state, 12 million more than second place Texas. Even though more residents left California last year than moved in, the state added 375,000 people. The Times correctly attributes this phenomenon to immigration (plus 133, 000, a 14 percent increase) and net natural increase which is generally defined as new births minus deaths. The Times didn't elaborate but a crucial statistic is that most births are from immigrant mothers, legal and illegal and, eventually, the children born to those recent immigrant mothers.
As always, the Times and its sources interpret increased immigration as good. The Brookings Institute demographer William Frey analyzed the Census data and concluded that more immigrant arrivals indicate that the job market is strengthening.The potentially challenging prospect of finding employment no longer, according to Frey, dissuades immigrants.
For employers who want to hire cheap labor, a large immigrant pool to choose from is a wonderful thing. New legal and illegal immigrants benefit, too. They get much needed jobs. Once legal immigrants obtain permanent residency, they receive work authorization and can immediately begin to look for gainful employment. Illegal immigrants either falsify work documents or enter the underground economy. More often than not, a legal or illegal immigrants' job search is successful. The Center for Immigration Studies found that since President Obama took office in 2009, immigrants accounted for 67 percent of employment gains. During the third quarter of 2012, there were 1.94 million more immigrants than in January 2009 compared to a 938,000 increase for natives over the same time period.
Congress and the White House, dating back to President Lyndon Johnson's 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act and continuing through President Obama's deferred action program, have imposed demographic and economic changes on unsuspecting and often unwilling Americans. Journalists should treat American job displacement and immigration-fueled population increases as the decade's biggest stories. Instead, hardly a word has been written.
History proves that during uncertain economic times, presidents Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Dwight David Eisenhower managed their immigration policies in a manner designed to help Americans. During the Great Depression Roosevelt, considered by many to be America's most liberal president, strictly limited immigration and instead created the Works Progress Administration to benefit struggling citizens. Eisenhower signed the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956, the largest public works project at the time.
Americans have taken a back seat to special Chamber of Commerce and the ethnic identity lobby's interests. Judging from the way President Obama's second term is poised to begin—with a promise to pass comprehensive immigration reform—more of the same lies ahead.

Fish for Teeth brings free mobile dental clinic to Friday Harbor
- font size decrease font size increase font size
Islanders unable to afford dental care can receive it for free thanks to the local nonprofit Fish for Teeth on Thursday, January 10; Friday, January 11; and Saturday, January 12. A mobile dental van will be parked in the Mullis Street parking lot shared by the Orca Inn and Heritage Bank.
"Many volunteers and local businesses work as a team to bring this service to those who cannot otherwise afford dental care," said Fish for Teeth Founder Matt Marinkovich, a San Juan Island commercial fisherman.
Fish for Teeth sponsors a mobile dental van for dental clinics on San Juan Island, three times a year. The Medical Teams International's van can handle dental hygiene appointments to root canals.
Patients are seen by appointment only. Pick up applications at the San Juan Island Family Resource Center or the county health department, or download them at www.fishforteeth.com. Submit applications to the San Juan County Health Department on Rhone Street. Volunteers, not the county health department employees, determine scheduling a week before the clinic, based on severity and space.
To raise funds for the van, Fish for Teeth will sell fish tacos at 11 a.m. Friday, January 18, outside the Ace Hardware on Argyle Avenue in Friday Harbor. Tacos, which are as large as burritos, are made with Alaskan rockfish harvest and topped with Pablitos Salsa, Tillamook cheese, fresh greens, and a squeeze of lime. Volunteers ask for a donation of $8 per taco.

How to calculate dividends paid/
An investor might want to know how much a company has paid out in dividends in the past year. If the company has not directly disclosed this information, it is still possible to derive the amount if the investor has access to the company's income statement and its beginning and ending balance sheets. If these reports are available, the calculation of dividends paid is as follows:
Subtract the retained earnings figure in the ending balance sheet from the retained earnings figure in the beginning balance sheet. This calculation reveals the net change in retained earnings derived from activity within the reporting period.
Go to the bottom of the income statement and extract the net profit figure.
If the net profit figure on the income statement matches the net change in retained earnings from the first calculation, then no dividend was issued during the period. If the net change in retained earnings is less than the net profit figure, the difference is the amount of dividends paid out during the period.
For example, a business reports beginning retained earnings of $500,000 and ending retained earnings of $600,000, so the net change in retained earnings in the period was $100,000. During the year, the company also reported $180,000 of net profits. In the absence of any dividend payments, the entire $180,000 should have been transferred to retained earnings. However, there was only a residual increase of $100,000 in retained earnings, so the $80,000 difference must have been paid out to investors as a dividend.
The concept can be further refined by dividing the derived amount of dividends paid by the number of outstanding shares (which is listed on the balance sheet). The result is dividends paid per share.

Chicago Lawyers' Committee Applauds the Voting Rights Decision of the US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
Following a flurry of recent court rulings reasserting the spirit of the Voting Rights Act and condemning voter repression efforts, the Fourth Circuit invalidated North Carolina's election law that created onerous restrictions on voter access. The Court powerfully stated that "politics as usual" as a justification for many of the changes the law introduced cannot be accepted where "politics as usual" translates into race-based discrimination.
Even though this decision deals with an intentionally discriminatory law in a Deep South state, it is critical for us to remain vigilant about addressing more subtle forms of racism and discrimination as we tackle voter access issues in Chicago and Illinois. In addition, the grassroots organizing in North Carolina is a powerful example of the critical role that community members play in identifying discriminatory patterns out of their lived experiences, and working in coalition with legal advocates to mount a successful legal challenge.
Voting rights is a cornerstone of the Chicago Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights' commitment to advance civil rights and racial equity through the power and the promise of the law. We work in partnership with communities most directly impacted by racism and discrimination, as well as member law firms and other advocacy organizations to achieve our social justice goals. Join us as we prepare to protect and expand the vote in the November elections.

( I borrow some wonderful notes from Evy Mayer (folk music society of NY president).
I recently caught the NYC premier of a new documentary Extraordinary Ordinary People. It's about recipients of the National Endowment for the Arts' National Heritage Fellowship award. I was amazed at how important other musical cultures have managed to survive outside of their own countries, and they sure managed to cram a lot into this one short film. While it is mostly musicians and dancers, they also feature artists and craftspeople. Sheila Kay Adams, who is one of the narrators and was one of the award recipients, played a short concert after the film. Also, Sidiki Conde played incredibly heartfelt songs about the people that inspire him.
For those of you who can't see the movie, you can go to their website: mastersoftraditionalarts.org. Each of the artists featured here is a recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts' National Heritage Fellowship,which is presently under threat from Mr. Trump.

In this era of patriotism when we are encouraged to show our patriotism, support and respect to our troops and nation, I am appalled at the way some people desecrate and disrespect our flag.
With a modicum of patriotism they run a flag up their pole and forget it. It stays raised day and night, rain or shine until it is a tattered rag. Once it blows away or people take it down, I'm not sure how they dispose of it. I doubt they go to the effort of proper disposal – either through the Boy Scouts of America or the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
What a tragic sight and sound as we see another act of "craziness" by an individual who goes on a shooting spree, killing innocent men, women and even young children.
The solution to prevent this type of terror is not to ban guns. It is not the NRA. It is not about guns at all. Gun rights were protected by our Founding Fathers in the Second Amendment to protect Americans against an aggressive and mutinous government.
We made a difference in Europe during World War II by partnering with the Soviets. After that moment of unity, we spent decades fighting them during the Cold War, including its associated proxies. An old adage states that the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Right now, despite the obvious political opposition, our common enemy is the fiscal cliff. This problem has been extended for years. Now is the time to unite and fix this for once and for all.
Economists warn that inaction could lead to a double-dip recession.
The Lancaster County Parks and Recreation 9-10 all-star football team's season didn't end the way it wanted, but the team's run was quite stunning.
The 9-10 stars fell to defending state champion city of Florence in the S.C. Athletic Programs Division II state champion game at Florence Memorial Stadium on Saturday, Dec. 8.
Florence built a 12-0 halftime lead on the way to the 20-0 win over the Lancaster County stars.
Florence scored on its first two possessions on the way to the win.
It's something folks might often take for granted, and understandably so.
After all, we live in a modern society and pay our taxes, and therefore we fully expect the traffic lights to work and the firetrucks to respond when we need them to.
But how often do we really stop and think of the sometimes life-threatening circumstances behind those expectations when it comes to our law enforcement officers?
Fortunately, there's an organization that helps us do just that – the S.C. Law Enforcement Officers Association.
A toast to South Middle School's recent success is in order. The toast would likely go something like this, "Here's looking at you, SMS."
South has earned the coveted honor of a School to Watch.
The honor puts SMS in elite company as less than 350 schools nationwide have earned the honor, and only 13 in the Palmetto State.
One of those lucky 13 is Indian Land Middle School in the county's Panhandle, which was recently redesignated a School to Watch after garnering the title in 2010.
And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria. And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem – because he was of the house and lineage of David – to be taxed with Mary, his espoused wife, being great with child.

Is It Really Yours?
Part of my job is to connect with people. The easiest way I have found to do so on a grand scale is through social media. While each network carries different possibilities than the one before it, they all offer advice of some sort. Whether it be on relationships, health, retail purchases, religion, food, jobs, or romance, opinions are free and out there on every subject we can think of.
In Proverbs chapter 11, seeking council is wise in order that we as a people do not fall. But, how often do we ask advice from a source that isn't necessarily educated enough to give a sound answer? I like to think that people are generally intelligent and positive in nature being that we are made in the likeness of God, but when reviewing my own media feed, I have to second guess how I came to this conclusion.
Today a friend posted his relationship struggles and while he didn't ask for a response, many gave one including myself. While scrolling through the list of comments, my friend also posted the classic saying "When you love something, let it go and if it comes back to you, it's yours." Reading this caused me to stop and think. I have always agreed that there is some legitimate truth to this statement, but now that I try and align my thinking with scripture, I am not sure that this is the hope we should cling to.
Psalms 24:1 declares that "The Earth is the Lord's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it." Accepting the fact that we don't own anything or anyone is hard. We all feel entitled to a certain degree especially if it is our children or spouses. So, what do we do with the fact that we can't truly own anything?
Our only form of hope is that we be made into a steward of one or many according to God's will. It is He who gives and takes away and the only one who can truly restore anything back to us (Job 1:21). With this absolute knowledge, it seems to me that if we honestly want something more than we have, we should petition the One that has the authority to give it to us. We are far more likely to see a return on our efforts through prayer than hoping a significant other finds their way back to us in an already confused and lost world.
Steer us all in the right direction and help us to understand your sovereign decisions.

Run faster...I hear banjos!
Some races you can't forget. The Hillilly Half in Leiper's Fork is exactly that race.
I didn't want to run it in 2015. At that point it had been a little over a month since I had ran even a mile following the Nashville Rock N Roll full marathon and I couldn't imagine running a half marathon without at least a few training miles. I remember laying out at the pool two days before the race was to happen as a group text ran wild promising those of us not yet convinced that it would be a fun time.
The hard thing about being a runner is that while you're running the race you ask yourself why you would put yourself through it. However, once you cross the finish line your memories of pain and sorrow are completely erased and you will foolishly sign up for five more races that day, minimum.
So there I was, poolside, signing up for a race I hadn't prepared for.
At the time the race was called the Franklin Half Marathon and I had heard horror stories of "heart attack hill" and of the heat that a June race in Tennessee promises. In fact, that morning the weather report was 99% humidity with a temperature in the 90s and the fog from the extreme humidity didn't let up until a few miles into the race. But that's not the most important detail.
The thing no one had warned me about - hillbillies. I run by towards the end of the video, 4:57 or so, and while I look like I'm keeping my cool I'm now realizing I have many miles to go for a race where I may have to outrun some very frightening rednecks.
The heat seemed to beat me down quickly, and I can remember struggling to get over some small rolling hills. I was playing the game of "you can walk until the next fence post but then you have to run the entire next mile." I had a cold rag on my neck that was handed out around mile 8 or so, and I always tried to have a water bag in my hand (a water bag is a water filled plastic bag that you bite, then squeeze to get your fluids, an awesome addition to this race). Soon enough I felt so worn out and my walking became more frequent. I finally was able to pick up cell signal and played my current Spotify playlist which started playing the perfect song.
American Kids - Kenny Chesney
I have said since the first time hearing this song that it would forever be my favorite song and it's still true three years following it's release. I tend to be a pretty big fan of anything Shane McAnally has a hand in, so it made sense that this song would be the one to pull me through.
"Sister's got a boyfriend / Daddy doesn't like / Now he's sittin' out back, 3030 in his lap / In the blue bug zapper light."
The rhythm of this song in the intro to the lines that stress small town living (and perhaps a redneck's preferred style of life?), I felt rejuvenated and ready to finish up a great race that I could feel proud of. You know, and happy to have survived.
For a few months this race was my half marathon PR of 2:15:39, even with heart attack hill that is truly no joke. One of the greatest parts of finishing was the sweetest Georgia peach I have ever had from The Peach Truck. That was my first PeachTruck experience and now every summer I wish the season lasted just a few weeks longer.
All in all, this was a fantastic local race and I ended up running it again in 2016. And it turns out those hillbillies populated a whole heck of a lot since the year before. We'll see if I have the guts to run it again this June...
If you are up for the challenge, I highly suggest running this half marathon at least once. This year the route is going the opposite direction, the way I believe it was originally ran, so if you think you have what it takes you can register here: https://register .chronotrack.com/r/22017

Bill Bowler, The Shepherd of Zakhbaal
Charles C. Cole, A Visitor in the Night
Dean Giles, DAVE
discussion: Spelling and the Playground
Julie Wornan, Grandpa's Book
|Dr. Jeannette Norden on storytelling in teaching
In Dr. Jeannette Norden's presentation on storytelling in teaching:
How does Dr. Norden transform a lecture into performance art while retaining complete authenticity?
How does the lecture unfold as a semi-impromptu oral essay? What elements are sure to hold the audience's attention?
Dr. Norden recounts numerous examples of teaching strategies, for example: the students' three index cards, the concentration-camp rations, and the parents' visit. What is the purpose of these activities? How do they create stories of their own? Sentimentality has no place at all in them; how do they illustrate effective writing in fiction or poetry?
An old pastor's advice to a young pastor: "Your sermons must not be about grace, they must be grace." In what way does Dr. Norden's presentation and her stories about stories, if you will, embody that advice? What are the implications for literature as communication?
In the Bewildering Stories discussion of "Spelling and the Playground," one might object that the question "What good is it?" is actually an adult's question, not a child's.
- How might a child imply the question without phrasing it in so many words?
- What does the question imply about the responsibility of a parent or teacher?
In Julie Wornan's "Grandpa's Book":
Are electronic media a cause or effect of the economic distress in Tommy's society? Or are they incidental?
Would earlier generations of children have reacted the same as Tommy when Sumerian or Egyptian clay bricks were supplanted by papyrus? Papyrus by scrolls? Scrolls by the codex? The codex and medieval manuscripts by the printed book?
In Charles C. Cole's "A Visitor in the Night":
Even if the account were misread as a patient's case history, is post-operative cognitive decline (POCD) medically implausible under the circumstances?
What is the account really about?
In Dean Giles' "DAVE":
The spaceship Eros1 is impacted by a micrometeorite. Assume the object has a rest mass of 1 gram, to choose a round number. What will its relativistic mass be at 0.9c? Will the energy released by the collision be greater, smaller or about the same as that of the Nagasaki nuclear bomb (≈21 kilotons of TNT)? How would it most likely affect a spaceship of any size?
Is it entirely fair that Simon feels anger at DAVE and considers the AI psychopathic? Why might one say that DAVE has a point and that Simon's feelings, while quite understandable, might constitute a philosophical error?
In euhal allen's The Bridge: a New Beginning:
Dr. Renaldo Melichson stood nervously in front of his first class in Sub-Quantum Mechanics and wondered how he would make his subject interesting for these Dreamer's World University students.Dr. Melichson is:
What reaction might Sean Shapirov's moralizing elicit from his fellow students? How might Dr. Melichson have handled the student's joke?
In Bill Bowler's The Shepherd of Zakhbaal:
Why might higher — and lower — authorities question General Wolffe's and Colonel Shepherd's administrative competence?
In what way do the colonel and general echo Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove?
"T-Bomb" technology seems to have become commonplace. Why might one reasonably expect it to be adapted to allow interstellar spaceships to travel faster than light?
Is the term "galaxy" meant literally or is the general merely speaking loosely? What other term might he use?
In the account of Omar's rescuing the trapped fox, what elements seem likely to foreshadow his role on the alien planet?

The Candy Store
Do you see that when you travel, you lose some of your attachment to your identity and all the beautiful things you associate with your identity? When you are immersed in one place, every detail becomes precious to you. Now this is as it should be. Yes, adore every precious detail! And, yet, at the same time as you adore, know that all this is décor and it has nothing to do with your identity. Your true identity goes with you wherever you go and wherever you may be. You become detached from your outward identity. Your outward identity is a change in clothing, that's all.
If you are a chef, at work you wear a chef's hat. The hat doesn't make you more nor less a chef except for how you decide to perceive yourself with it on. If, when you put on a chef's hat, you put your shoulders back and become the chef, it is a technique you employ. The chef's hat doesn't change you except as it makes you feel. You make yourself feel. You can feel the same without the hat. The important thing is to feel good about yourself whatever you wear, regardless of what the world notices, regardless of what you have heard all your life.
All the trappings of the world are meant for you to enjoy, but you are not meant to be entrapped by them. Props are only props. Just scenery, and scenery is movable.
Every day you move through the world. Whether you are by foot, by train or plane, you are you. In an airport where no one knows you, you are still Beloved of God. You do not need a certain chair, or even people who know you. When you are in your home town, you see recognition of yourself as each person reflects you and reminds you that you exist. And, yet, you exist whether someone recognizes you or not and no matter what they make or do not make of it. You are a spinning top, and the world is too. You spin on a spinner. In spinning, you are still. And in stillness, you spin.
In life you are in a candy store. Oh, My, all the delicious candies. You live in the candy store, beloveds. Think of all the deliciousness that is imported and exported. You are more than you accept wherever you stand. In effect, wherever you stand, you stand in mid-air. There is no ground under your feet. There is you, sublime. There is you, mirth in My heart. There is you, juxtaposed in front of yourself, yet you exist, and you are sublime whether you notice it or not. You spin sublimely.
If you knew the wealth of love that you are, you would become a somersaulting acrobat of joy. You would leap and catch the stars and do tumbling acts on them. You would take a handful of love from your heart and cast it before you. Your love would be like glistening stars, and it would sound like the most beautiful music ever heard on Earth. All the love you cast would alight everywhere, and it would alight on you. You would know only light and music. You would be under a spell of love. You would be enchanted with love, no longer disenchanted.
Your whole life would be a love letter from God. There would be no postage due. Your life would travel from one heart to another, and hearts would be like kites high in the sky, blown everywhere.

About a month ago I quit my job to pursue my 10 year goal of becoming a full time artist. I was always told that when the right moment comes to take the leap, and that I'll just know when that right moment is here. I consistently rolled my eyes at this comment until the day it actually came. That day was not a happy one, I was exhausted to my core. I was physically done, emotionally, and spiritually drained and I felt further away from my purpose than I ever had before. I finally got that knowing that everyone was talking about and I realized it was time to allocate all my effort into being that artist I've long dreamed of.
My desire to be an artist stemmed when I was heavily struggling with my eating disorder of anorexia and bulimia. For those of you who read my previous blog and continue to follow my work, you know I speak freely about that experience. My life was controlled, I was living for someone else in my own mind, body, and spirit. I felt trapped and art surrendered me to my own self expression. It allowed me to be who and what I wanted. It was that consistent soundboard that never judged me about my feelings, rather allow me to lean heavily until it was all out, puking colours.
My focus has changed over the years, from painting emotion to the human body. The human figure has always been an interesting concept for me, and now it's my primary muse. My own body has served so many purposes in my life, and will continue to be the only loyal life partner I have and ever will be with. I treat it much differently than I have in the past, and I'll share a story with you about how I got here today.
The last three years of my life have been in a Business Value Analyst/ Strategic Sales role. I loved my job, in fact I couldn't have asked for better bosses, colleagues, and atmosphere at Hootsuite. I got to travel all over North America for work, and I was highly regarded in the company. I had job offers on the table and I couldn't bring myself to take it, it was such a strange feeling. The old me would've taken the job offer and left within months. My consciousness was louder than ever and begging me to follow my gut, so I politely declined that job offer without any real understanding why I was doing that.
Flashback 2 months. I was gazing into the LES of New York City in early October, enjoying the heat wave that hit the big apple. I was thinking about my old life here in the city, and the people I chose to spend my time with. Wow, my life was SO different. As I poured myself a glass of red wine, courtesy of the receptionist downstairs, I thought to myself, how lucky I was to be back in my favourite city. I didn't realize it was going to be my last work trip.
Typically travelling for work is over-exhausting. Only after a year or so of doing it I finally mastered and discovered the perfect balance. My secret sauce was staying in a boutique hotel close to my favourite restaurants and gym so I could strike the perfect amount of time enjoying new cities as I did pitching to clients. This trip threw me over sideways. Not only was in back to back deals and heavy weight pitches, the added timezone change of working on the east coast in a west coast headquarters (causes you to work unbelievable amounts of hours) - from catching up with projects, to putting together businesses cases in my hotel bed to not sleeping with jet lag. It was nothing new to me but it impacted me in a much larger way this time.
My 26th birthday was coming up and I was away from my twin sister, and family. I knew this was coming, but my sister and I have never spent a birthday apart and I was sad. I tried to make my stay in NYC as comfortable as possible so Sam decided to fly out to meet me on my birthday. He had the entire day and night planned to take me out to my favourite spots including some new hangouts like the underground jazz scene. He absolutely killed it.
The day of my birthday provided me with great clarity. I worked the morning of my birthday, sick to my stomach and it lasted throughout the entire day of work which resulted in a full breakdown in the Uber on the way back to my hotel room. I was ridden with anxiety, partly because I was excited to see my boyfriend, and partly because I had finally had enough. I was officially done making money for someone else. I was done giving up my spare time and energy working toward's someone else's goals. I was through the roof with my health and wellness being up and down from flying about on business trips for 2 weeks a month or more across the country. I was tired with my frivolous spending and lack of commitments.
Not only was I probably the most awful person to be around when my boyfriend flew all this way for my birthday, I was indecisive, anxious, a royal bitch. I felt like a stranger in comparison to what I normally am, when I'm grounded and in an environment that brings the best out of me.
Coming home with a new understanding of myself, I needed a week off, partially to be with my family and to take some time to think. I didn't expect a heat wave of work opportunities to fly into my arms while on bed rest. These work opportunities got me out of my bed every day, they got me thinking creatively. Within that time frame, I was booked to the brim with private portraits, designing labels for The Juicery Co.'s new product line, building a movement with Keighty Gallagher from Tight Club and live portraiture for Bailey Nelson. It was a sign from the universe.
This taught me how to trust. There's a reason why you're all drawn to something that ignites a fire within you. That something may start as a curiosity, but it's your intuition and your guides leading you down a path to be centred. This is so powerful, and we typically ignore these signs for the majority of our lives, and I'm included in that. I believe we stop ourselves from fully pursuing those curiosities because we judge ourselves, and we're afraid of being vulnerable. So, if you're feeling called to something, follow it, look for it, dig deep, and love every moment of learning and growing.
Back to reality...I couldn't believe that I was faced with something I've been working towards for the past 8 years and I was hesitant. I was scared, frightened and thinking I was crazy. I wasn't necessarily in a financial position to quit my job, nor was I in a position to actually do both jobs well.
I've been told me entire life, that I'm choosing a life path with a slim percentage of actually "making it", which can mean so many things. I've been compared to someone who wants to be an actor. Yes, I get it, slim chances - but it's not about that, it's about what makes you happy. When you're happy you naturally attract people into your life who support you.
So, I tuned in to what really mattered to me it wasn't going to my desk from 9-5 everyday, it certainly had nothing to do with being tied to a paycheque and allotted vacation days or reporting to someone else. I wanted freedom in my life.
So, After going back and forth over my decision to quit my job too many times, I wrote up a letter of resignation that I handed in Monday morning. I cried the entire time, actually the entire week. Nobody told me that transition like that would be tough - I was mourning!
Call it good timing, I call it a sign, that I had previously booked a retreat the week after I quit. I went on Chloe Elgar and Natalie Miles' Light Up Retreat on the Sunshine Coast. The retreat was all about tuning into your intuition, and pretty much a psychic development retreat. It was intense, and beautiful and relaxing all in one go. I met really great sisters who share the same desires as I do. I got in touch with why I was meant to be there and my purpose on this planet. I discovered new things about myself, such as my natural mediumship ability, and intuition. Which is something I now offer with my portraitures (more on this later). So, you could say that the retreat boiled a lot of shit to the surface. That murky water gave me clarity toward my sole proprietary purpose of why I am so deeply connected to my artwork.
My purpose isn't just about bringing awareness to body image and mental health, yes that's a massive part of it, but not the only piece. My purpose with my artwork is to emancipate you from your fears. It's about abandoning our sense of "should, could, would" and being you, and being OK with it. From my experience with my own demons and eating disorders, and today where I actively wake up and choose who and what I want to be, it's still there! I can't run from it.
It's important to me that you understand that those feelings will be there for life. When clients arrive at my loft, it's the utmost important thing to me that they walk into my loft feeling like they have been seen and heard. That they too are beautiful and it's not because of how we look like on the outside. Our exterior is a direct reflection of how we feel inside. When we age, it's because we're not taking care of our innards, and when we diet or binge eat, we're not addressing what our soul is craving.
So with my newfound abilities to read and see auras, connect and channel the deceased and read your intuition, I am bringing this into portraitures. I'm still building that muscle, but it's something that comes so naturally to all of us, and yet we choose to shut it off because we were told it's "Scary". I had a BIG problem facing that fear when I decided I wanted to work with spirit, and it's still frightening, and I'm learning to use it on my own time, and not theirs.
So here we are, 1 month into my entrepreneurship and it's up and down. Not knowing when that next paycheque is coming in finally hit me. It's also super exciting, it's the first time in my life where I get to dictate my schedule and choose to do things because I want to, not because I feel like I should. If that's how I feel I politely decline and move forward because it's not serving me and because I'm following my intuition.
Life should feel easy and breezy and good. If there's something I'm learning is that it doesn't have to be hard. We all have the power to live a life in choice and what we want to do on a daily basis. Tune in and figure out what it's saying to you - if you don't hear anything it may be because you've ignored it for so long, but you can still start to listen. Sit down quietly, go or a walk, clear your mind and ask yourself what you want in this life and how to get it, I promise you, you'll find an answer. If you don't, we can find it together through a portraiture ;)
I'm hosting the 3rd Volume of TALK TO ME NAKED December 9th-10th. I have about 5 spots left to schedule. The portraits are a little different this time. Each session is about 30mins in length which includes a 10minute reading and a 20 minute portrait. Each person walks away with 3 sketches each and the total cost is $250.00 CAD (the original portraits are $500.00CAD).

Long Lava Rock Necklace
sold out
Long Lava Rock Necklace
Two lava rocks, square brass tubing, and an antiqued brass chain tassel to top it off. This piece would look great with a plunging neckline or with your favorite band tee.
The necklace measures approximately 19" from the clasp to the tassel.
Natural oxidation will occur with brass and copper (which we think really adds to the story and the beauty of the piece), and it may leave greenish marks on the skin. To help lessen the effects, simply keep your copper clean and dry and remove any oil or sweat which may be on your jewelry.

***Adult Content – viewer discretion advised ***
If words we're a vacuum, not just vacuous,
the conversation would still suck,
But instead I'd be pulling my orbit to a path 'round your star,
for near or far I search my heart and there you are, burning like a sun giving fuel to my fire.
A pyre made in pilgrimages to the Mecca in your eyes,
A brightness at actions I can claim at and cite,
A bite and the plight beneath those parking lots' lights.
A jubilation at the sight of you,
How have you in me these feeling wrought each and every night?

We believe all people have a ministry they are called to. Lay-persons, bishops, priests, and deacons are all considered ministers. Our duty as laity is clearly stated in the Book of Common Prayer: "The ministry of lay persons is to represent Christ and His Church; to bear witness to Him wherever we may be; and, according to the gifts given us, to carry on Christ's work of reconciliation in the world; and to take our place in the life, worship, and governance of the Church."
A ministry is not choosing, something to do." A ministry is a "call to be" and is derived from careful and deliberate prayer.
The following are some of our current and developing ministries (click to expand):
Our ongoing established food collection program to benefit the Ilse Marks/Stoughton Food Pantry. All are invited to bring in canned goods and other non perishable food items and place them in the large baskets in the narthex (lobby). Our donations are brought to the Food Pantry on Seaver Street on a bi-weekly basis and helps provide much needed food for those in need.
During the time of Thanksgiving, we collect "Dinner Bags" containing items for a Thanksgiving Day meal, with a gift card to a local supermarket for people to purchase a turkey.
The Pantry is currently seeking the following food items:
Canned Beef Stew, Tuna, Soups, Pasta and Sauces, Spam, Canned Vegetables.

Trinity is embarking on an outreach project for 2016 to help support Evelyn House located in Stoughton, a shelter for homeless women and children. Part of Father Bill's/Mainspring, Evelyn House provides a safe place for women and children seeking refuge from domestic violence and homelessness. They currently are providing a home like atmosphere for 16 families in need, some of which are veterans, placed by the VA center. Having to leave one's home and move into a shelter is a traumatic and life changing experience. Evelyn House seeks to help maintain a warm safe environment for families to flourish, while also teaching basic skills through workshops on cooking, cleaning and homebuilding.
Donations of twin sized bedding, sheets, blankets, pillows as well as personal care items like toothpaste, shampoo and feminine care products are all gratefully appreciated. Small donations of other items are gladly accepted also. Donations brought to Trinity will be brought monthly to Evelyn House. As clients transition out of Evelyn House into permanent housing, these bedding and personal items go with them, helping them to start a new home.
Love of our neighbor is important at Trinity. Join us the second Sunday of each month at 10:15am as we walk next door to Copley at Stoughton, Nursing Care Center to celebrate the Eucharist with our neighbors. This is a wonderful ministry, engaging people in need with worship and conversation. Additionally we hold a monthly morning prayer service on the fourth Sunday of the month and bring communion weekly. The residents of Copley look forward to our visits and conversations.
Our Priest Fr. Harry has traveled to the Dominican Republic for many years as part of a medical team which runs a week long clinic in a local Dominican Episcopal Parish. This clinic offers much needed help to a community without access to the most basic of medical care. As we expand on this work to help others, we are continually seeing people to help become part of the team; Doctors, Nurses and Translators who are fluent in Spanish. This is a tremendously rewarding ministry and you are welcome to ask us about it!
In addition to this yearly visit, our parish has embarked in an effort to deepen our relationship with the host parish, la Iglesia de San Pedro y San Pablo in the la Barquita barrio of Santo Domingo. Our hope is to assist their growing Episcopal School through scholarships for students and through donations for the parish.
Join us for a variety of Adult Ed programs often a combination of shared food, education and worship. We generally engage in conversation during our fellowship following services. Additionally, we offer periodic off-site museum and cultural experiences to take part in.
Our Children are taught using Godly Play, a wonderful program with an approach to help them to explore their faith through story, to gain religious language and to enhance their spiritual experience though wonder and play. Based on Montessori principles and developed using a spiral curriculum, the Godly Play method serves children through early, middle and late childhood and beyond. Come join us!
Our parish actively engages in the creation and celebration of social events at Trinity, some as fundraisers for the parish, some as fundraisers for outside charitable organizations and many simply for fun, conversation and community engagement. In all our events, we seek to create an atmosphere which encourages getting to know one another and developing relationships with one another. Of particular note are our annual Roast Beef dinner, Italian night and Corned Beef and Cabbage events for Saint Patricks Day.
Trinity has embarked on the development of a Choral Evensong program, celebrating key saints through the beauty of evening sung worship. Join us for this beautiful event as our church is bathed in candlelight as a large choir of professional singers lead us in worship.

Below are the key characteristics of the different levels for reading.
You can use these to support your child, but they should not be used to make a decision about what level they are at as this is not the sole contributor.
Working at Level 1 children can:
- Identify the main events and characters in stories, and find specific information in simple texts.
- Make predictions showing an understanding of ideas, events and characters.
- Recognise the main elements that shape different texts eg lists, comic strips with speech in bubbles, 'once upon a time' to show the start of a fairy tale.
- Explore the effect of patterns of language and repeated words and phrases
- Select books for personal reading and give reasons for their choices
- Visualise and comment on events, characters and ideas, making imaginative links to their own experiences
- Distinguish fiction and non-fiction texts and the different purposes for reading them
Working at Level 2 (a typical Year 2 child) children can:
- Read independently and with increasing fluency longer and less familiar texts
- Give some reasons why things happen or characters change
- Explain organisational features of texts, including alphabetical order, layout, diagrams, captions, hyperlinks and bullet points
- Explore how particular words are used, including words and expressions with similar meanings eg 'gasped' and 'shouted'
- Read whole books on their own, choosing and explaining their choices
- Explain their reactions and feelings to texts, commenting on important aspects eg which of the characters would be a good friend and why?
Working at Level 3 (a typical Year 3 or Year 4 child) children can:
- Work out a character's reasons for behaviour from their actions eg why did the character start to shiver?
- Explain how ideas are developed in non-fiction texts eg what was this section all about and how was it different to this section?
- In non-fiction texts, use knowledge of different organisational features of texts to find information effectively, eg use headings and sub-headings, captions and the index
- In fiction texts, explain how writers use language to create images and atmosphere, eg why did the writer describe the dog as 'bouncing around like a ball'?
- Read extensively favourite authors or genres and experiment with other types of text
- Explore why and how writers write eg through online contact with authors
Working at Level 4 (a typical Year 5 or Year 6 child) children can:
- Understand underlying themes, causes and points of view
- Recognise different ways to argue, persuade, mislead and sway the reader eg read some promotional leaflets and the websites before you go on a day-trip to a theme park or museum!
- Compare different types of narrative and information texts and identify how they are structured eg compare different instructions, compare the clever ways Jacqueline Wilson structures her stories
- Explore how writers use language for different effects, eg why did the writer repeat this word?
- Read extensively and discuss personal reading with others – this is one of the reasons why reading aloud and sharing ideas with others is important, even for older children
- Compare how writers present experiences and use language eg compare the Horrid Histories series with a typical non-fiction book and even a fictional story set in Victorian times
Working at Level 5
- Typically, children can continue to develop the areas suggested for Level 4, but at a deeper level and for more challenging texts, eg Children able to understand underlying themes, causes and points of view should begin to 'read between the lines' and find evidence for their interpretation

It was a judge of the US that had ordered Shirley Jane Temple to go to a red light district to pay for a fine and "hussle her buns". Bojangles found her looking for a way to make money to pay for the fine & she thought she could mimic his dancing. He took her to a studio and they followed the judges orders to the dot. There is a good ship and a bad ship. Is acting worse than what the judge had in mind? What do u find offensive? Kids play all day long? Share how you played?

Possibly NSFW, Unless You Work at a Baby Nightclub
I don't know what's the matter with me, but I cannot stop watching Baby Burlesks on YouTube. War Babies is my current favorite, with its baby facials, udder sucking, and lollipop money, but Polly Tix in Washington and The Runt Page also have their charms. Be sure to read the comments! "iriswigle" takes the words right out of my mouth:

re: War babies-- is Shirley attached to a piece of fishing line??
Thank you for bringing these grotesque yet completely fascinating videos to my attention!! What the hell!!
- Tricia said...
Fishing line? I didn't even notice--I was too busy pondering the bewildering ooh-la-la moment when Shirley gets a scoop of ice cream right down the back.
these are amazing, thank you!

Less is more, more or less etc etc.
I've been through a massive wardrobe overhaul lately, tired of the same outfits and poor choices I've come to the conclusion that my wardrobe needs a massive refresh. Enter in the staples; the pieces that I live in and wear in any occasion. My staples consist of quality denim jeans, white linen tee's, a black blazer, leather skirt, comfortable flats and a small array of detailed tops/bodysuits. The main reasoning behind why I prefer to keep my bottoms basics and change up tops is I find this easier to create new and interesting outfits without feeling like I'm repeating myself too much. And yes, I religiously wear denim jeans even on a night out.
My last leather skirt lasted me four years, croc print and all it finally gave way after hundreds of wears and three zippers. I'm a big believer of make do & mend, there's no reason to throw something out because of a loose thread or a broken zip so when the fabric of my skirt started to deteriorate I knew it was finally time to give in. Almost as soon as this happened I was contacted by August the Fourth to shoot their AM to PM skirt (I still can't believe the coincidence) and thankfully I have a new croc leather skirt to last me. I'm sure I don't need to convince you but a leather skirt is such an investment piece, the cost per wear will make this wardrobe addition probably one of the most economical purchases (even if you splurge on a genuine leather one).
This H:ours Bodysuit was gifted by Revolve; my current new brand favourites at Revolve are Privacy Please, L'academie & Grlfrnd (the best denim jeans ever).

Here is another quote from our series of quotes from video games. As you have read already the quote about freedom; I'm trying explaining it in context with today's scenario.
What people think of Freedom?
The concepts of freedom and liberty are very complex and have no precise definition to go by. To some, freedom may be the permission to stay out late at night, while to others freedom is the choice to pursue their dreams or be open about their sexuality. While freedom may sound liberating, it prevails and flourishes only when there is a powerful authority exercising sufficient control.
Very few people learn responsibility
Anyone who is a fan of the Spiderman series, is familiar with the quote
"With great power, comes great responsibility"
While it sounds like a good motto to love life by, very few people manage its successful implementation.
Even if we aren't overachievers who are placed in positions of authority, since childhood we do have a set of responsibilities to fulfill, as children, friends, siblings, and the like. People especially the youth, rarely feel accountable for their actions, and thus seen acting irresponsibly the most often.
Liberty comes with its restrictions
As mentioned earlier, freedom is a complex topic. It actually doesn't mean doing whatever you like, it means doing whatever you like as long as you aren't disrupting the rights and privileges of others. Therefore, liberty can only be achieved when the ones holding authority are judiciously exercising control. Freedom will be available equally to all when everyone stays within limits and respects the rights of others.
The youth of today's generation perceive parental guidance or restrictions very negatively; but they always end up regretting their misdeeds. Taking example of sexuality; you must have already seen many girls regretting their sexual relations after breakups.
Maturity and conscience
It is generally the youth who are rebellious and disruptive, as just a short while ago they were subject to so many restrictions. The newfound liberty is thrilling. While many of us grow out of this phase and learn to exercise our rights responsibly, there are quite a few who don't. Many just grow physically but don't mind asserting their rights even if it gets in the way of others.
Blatant misuse of freedom
There are several instances where people misuse their power and control. "Nepotism" a word made popular by Kangana Ranaut, prevails in all arenas. Not just nepotism, but sexism, racism, nudism, atheism and the like are many harsh realities which are all a kind of misuse of freedom. People twist rules or override them to have their way. This shows how giving someone too much power might not always be a right decision.
In Conclusion
We see how there's a very thin line between freedom and restrictions. Absolute and complete freedom is in no way a good thing. People should learn to act in their best interests and make the most of the allowances they are given. Liberty is only worth when it's restricted.

Mr. Massari, 45, is the senior vice president for national meetings and events at Caesars Entertainment, the giant hospitality and gambling company based in Las Vegas. Caesars is currently involved in a nearly $126 million conference center project, the Waterfront Conference Center, at Harrah's Resort, one of its three properties in Atlantic City.
Interview conducted and condensed by
Q. So has the recent bankruptcy filing of the Caesars Entertainment Operating Company affected the expansion plans in Atlantic City?
A. That's one of the subsidiaries. The Harrah's property is not part of the bankruptcy.
Q. How involved are you in the Harrah's project?
A. It's my project.
We believe that the best way to introduce a new customer to Atlantic City is through meetings and events, and you need the space to house the meetings and events. So that's what we're building. The building is actually about a quarter-million square feet, and when it opens, it makes the facility the largest meeting facility from Baltimore to Boston. And we believe that the two ballrooms there are the largest and second-largest ballrooms in the Northeast.
Q. Is the meeting space/conference business more profitable than gambling?
A. I don't know if I'd say that. But for Atlantic City to mature, it has to go from being a one-customer town to a multiple-customer town. We're a third or 40 percent of the market in Atlantic City. If we don't help facilitate change in that market, then that investment goes down.
It's not about putting more customers in the building. It's about putting different customers in the building. The deals you would see in Atlantic City, say, on a Tuesday night, the price per room is quite low. And so we're looking to trade those low-priced customers out for much better customers, and they're business travelers. They're customers with corporate credit cards in their pockets.
Q. This seems like a repositioning of the company, really.
A. We think so.
Q. When is the project expected to be completed?
A. We're adding 100,000 square feet of flexible new space to Harrah's Resort and are slated to complete the project this summer. We get the building on Aug. 7 from the contractor, the construction company. And so we've got to turn on the lights, make sure the ovens work, those types of things.
Q. Have you gotten many bookings yet?
A. Oh yeah. Prior to the expansion, the meetings business at Harrah's was a relatively small business for us. At this point in time for the upcoming August time period, we would have, maybe, 4,000 room nights booked. We now for this upcoming August time period have 66,000 room nights booked. So it's a massive change. We've got almost 100 new events, many of which would never be able to come to Atlantic City. They're from really good companies.
Q. Who are some of these companies?
A. Rita's Italian Ice, a lot of big organizations like Bradley Caldwell, Lennox and the New Jersey Special Investigators Association.
We also recently secured business from the New Jersey Association of Mortgage Brokers and Mortgage Bankers Association of New Jersey with two conferences — one this September and one in March 2016.
Q. How far in advance are you booked?
A. We've got meetings on the books till '18 and '19 at this point. We've got well over 100,000 definite room nights at this point, which is way ahead of where we thought we'd be.
We've always described it as the least risky way to change Atlantic City.
Q. Any plans to expand the meetings facilities at any of your other properties in Atlantic City?
We do a big meetings business there now, but not as big as we're contemplating at Harrah's. Bally's has 60,000 to 70,000 square feet of meeting space. Caesars has 20,000. Either one of those facilities would need a massive expansion.
We'd love to see a second big meetings facility in the market. We'll need to see what happens with the Harrah's expansion before we make that decision.
Q. How important is the New York area for Caesars's business?
A. The New York area is important to everybody's business.
From the meeting side, we do $400 million a year worth of the meetings business right now, and that number will grow as Atlantic City gets expanded. A full third of that comes from the Northeast, and a big portion of that is from New York.
Q. Do you invest personally in real estate?
A. I do. In addition to my day job here, I'm a founder of a private equity company called Connexus Equity Management Partners. We're always looking at real estate.
About six of us that went to business school together at the University of California, Irvine, started Connexus about a year and a half ago, and we're involved in four or five deals now, and we're contemplating a few more. We all have full-time jobs, but it's much more than a hobby.
Q. Do you like to gamble?
A. Me? No, I'm not a gambler.
