I think most of us accept – embrace even – branding, that branch of marketing concerned with differentiating goods and services in the market place. But how prepared are we to extend the logic of branding to actual human beings?
Writing a professional development workshop a couple of weeks ago on the subject of 'branding and online marketing for artists' got me thinking about this issue.
Mostly I was faced with my own discomfort. While I admire the inventive way that the mega famous engage with their own 'brand' (crossing over to a place where they talk about themselves in the third person – Hi Taylor! Sorry you had to kill Taylor – or creating a multitude of personas like Beyonce aka Fierce just to manage the internal stressors and/or respond creatively to dealing with their own image dominating global popular culture) what does any of this have to do with those of us more ordinary? I'm talking about regular creative peeps, those still doing their own shopping and most of their own chores.
But with my tween headed to 'VidCon' conference this weekend where teenagers will be signing up for sessions with the titles along the lines of 'Building Your Brand: Growing Your Audience' moderated by those in their early twenties I realise those reared in the age of social media consider this kind of thinking old hat, even obstructive.
What is the promise? What is the opportunity? Manage your online and social media presence well and you will get noticed. With a bit of patience and hunger you can monetize that attention. No study required.
Sure, it's designed to do your nut in. Capitalism as it intersects with online culture is a confusing landscape, to be sure. Community and competition are difficult to distinguish. Same goes for authenticity and a carefully crafted self presentation. Freedom and enslavement, ditto.
A digital detox is out of the question – social media is a garden that needs constant tending – but if things go pear shaped by all means get some fresh air. I find a podcast can get me over a hump. Just don't leave it too long, ok?

Apparently someone was a big fan of HBO's recent TV movie Behind the Candelabra!
Bill Murray returned to the Late Show with David Letterman on Thursday to help ring in the show's 20th anniversary, and boy did he make an entrance!
Just like Liberace, played by Michael Douglas in the telepic, Murray was brought out on stage in a vintage white luxury car to grand applause. Decked out in an all-white outfit complete with a long fur coat and lots of glitter, Murray exited the car and handed off his dog to his chauffer. "I had to get something that went with this outfit," Murray joked to David Letterman about his furry friend.
Who earns what: David Letterman and more of TV's highest-paid stars
Thursday marked Murray's 26th appearance on the Late Show. Murray was also Letterman's first guest on the debut episode back in 1993, and Letterman's first guest when he became the inaugural host of NBC's Late Night in 1982. Check out the sneak peek below and tune in Thursday night for Murray's appearance:
Late Show with David Letterman airs weeknights at 11:35/10:35c on CBS.

We claim our son, but not our daughter, on our taxes. How are premium subsidies calculated for families like ours?
Q. My husband and I have two children. We claim our son on our taxes; he's in high school, lives at home and has a part-time job. Our 23-year-old daughter has her own place and we don't claim her on our taxes. She has a full-time job but it doesn't provide insurance. We're going to buy insurance through the exchange for ourselves and our son, but we don't know whether we should add our daughter to our plan or have her get her own. For premium subsidies, how does the exchange calculate household income for families like ours?
A. Subsidy eligibility is based on modified adjusted gross income (MAGI). For your family, your MAGI will include income for yourself and your husband, and it could also include income your son earns at his part-time job – but only if he earns enough to have to file a tax return as a dependent (in 2017, the threshold for a dependent to have to file a tax return was at least $6,350 in earned income).
So if your son earns $5,000 over the year, his income would not be included in your household MAGI. But if he earns $8,000, that money would be included in your household MAGI. This would be the case even if you were not going to add him to your health insurance policy – he's part of your "tax household." (This is also true for spouses who are not going to be covered on the new policy; their income counts as part of the household MAGI, but they also count as an extra person for the purposes of calculating the household's income as a percentage of poverty level.)
Your daughter's income would only be included in your household MAGI if you include her on your new policy. Until she turns 26, it's your choice to include her on your plan if you wish. If you do cover her, your household income would include anything you and your husband earn, your daughter's income, plus your son's if he's above the tax-filing threshold. And your household would be considered four people, which means you may be eligible for subsidies in 2018 if the total MAGI doesn't exceed $98,400 and none of you have access to affordable health insurance from an employer (be aware however, that not all enrollees with income up to 400 percent of the poverty level actually end up qualifying for subsidies). Keep in mind that while you're allowed to include your daughter on your plan until she turns 26, this may not be the best course of action if she doesn't live near you, as the provider network on your family plan may not include providers in her area.
If your daughter gets her own policy, she'd be potentially eligible for subsidies in 2018 as long as her MAGI doesn't exceed $48,240 (but the caveat about some enrollees not qualifying for subsidies despite having incomes under 400 percent of the poverty level is particularly true in the case of younger enrollees, since their plans are less expensive to begin with, and less likely to need subsidies in order to get the premiums down into the range that's considered affordable). If she gets her own plan, your family policy would be based on a three-person household and subsidies would potentially be available in 2018 if your MAGI (for you, your husband and your son if his income is over the tax-filing threshold) doesn't exceed $81,680.

Sir Richard Branson is making it easier than ever for delegates from Manchester to travel down to London for a conference.
The business magnate has announced that airline Virgin Atlantic will be introducing routes from Heathrow to Manchester from March 2013, operating three daily flights using Airbus A319 aircraft, reports mirror.co.uk.
Manchester is seen as a key regional airport in England, with 65 per cent of holidaymakers who travel between the two cities then go on to travel to a further destination.
In addition, it provides a useful link between Manchester and some of the best meeting venues London has to offer.
The airline also hopes to fly to Aberdeen and Edinburgh if it can get its hands on slots which International Airlines Group may have to give up as part of the firm's takeover of BMI.
Steve Ridgway, Virgin Atlantic Chief Executive, commented on the new route to travelbite.co.uk: "Our new service will provide strong competition to overly-dominant BA; keep fares low and give consumers a genuine choice of airline to fly to Heathrow and beyond.
"We changed the way consumers view long haul travel with our unique approach to flying and we are now in the position to do that to short haul travel too," he added.

Joe Flacco leaned against a wall adjacent to the Ravens' locker room and heard his head coach take responsibility for a loss that John Harbaugh described as a "poor performance."
In a discouraging 23-20 defeat to the Buffalo Bills in front of an announced 68,296 at Ralph Wilson Stadium, the Ravens could neither run the football nor stop the run. They dropped passes, missed tackles, blew blocking and coverage assignments, committed eight penalties, attempted just nine running plays, and were just 3-of-16 on third down. They also dug themselves a 13-point halftime hole.
And the way their sixth-year quarterback saw it, none of that would have mattered if he had just stopped throwing the ball to the guys in the blue jerseys. Flacco was intercepted a career-high five times, the last one coming with under a minute to play as the Ravens (2-2) drove to midfield looking for either the game-tying or go-ahead points.
Instead, Flacco watched his pass intended for tight end Dallas Clark get deflected and end up in the hands of diving Bills linebacker Kiko Alonso. The play perfectly summed up a lost afternoon in Western New York for the Ravens who had numerous opportunities to win a game that they probably had no business being in.
"We are definitely going to get better, we have to get better," Flacco said. "A lot of that falls on me, just throwing the ball to the wrong team. If we don't do that, this game probably goes a little bit different."
Flacco finished the game 25 of 50 for 347 yards and two touchdowns, including a 10-yard score to rookie Marlon Brown that gave the Ravens a short-lived lead in the second quarter, and a 26-yard strike to Torrey Smith midway through the third quarter that pulled the Ravens within 20-14.
Even with all of Flacco's mistakes and an inability to run the ball — Flacco dropped back to pass on 31 consecutive offensive plays at one point and the Ravens ran the ball just twice in the second half — the Ravens twice had the ball in Bills' territory late in the fourth quarter with a chance to win the game, and the confidence that their quarterback would pull it off.
"We all felt that way at the end," Harbaugh said. "I felt like we were going to win the game."
Trailing 23-17 after a 74-yard completion to Torrey Smith set up Justin Tucker's 35-yard field goal, the Ravens drove the ball down to the Bills' 11. Facing fourth-and-5 from the 6-yard line, Harbaugh opted to kick the field goal and Tucker made it a 23-20 game with 4:08 to play.
Then on their next drive, they advanced to the Bills' 48 with 1:04 remaining before Alonso made the diving interception.
"We don't point fingers around here, but the last person I'm worried about is Joe Flacco," said Ravens running back Ray Rice, who made his return after missing one game with a hip injury, and gained just 17 yards on five carries. "He's a Super Bowl MVP. As long as Joe goes, we go. As bad as we played, Joe Flacco still let us march down the field."
The Bills turned Flacco's five turnovers into 13 points but his most damaging interception — at least given the final score — may have been the one he threw in the end zone to Aaron Williams on third-and-8 from the Bills' 14 early in the third quarter. Flacco was trying to hit Smith in the back of the end zone but he overthrew him while getting rushed by two Buffalo defenders. It cost Tucker an attempt at cutting into the Bills' 20-7 halftime lead.
"It's frustrating simply because we're not a team that does that and Joe's not a quarterback that typically makes picks," said Smith whose 166 receiving yards were the third most in a single game in team history. "Joe didn't flinch at all. No one on offense flinched. We never doubted for a second that with the way our defense was playing, we didn't have a chance to win the game."
Flacco was not at fault on all five of his interceptions. Three of them were probably the result of trying to make things happen when he probably would have been better off throwing the ball away. On the other two, Brown and tight end Ed Dickson played prominent roles.
Two plays after rookie wide receiver Robert Woods beat Corey Graham to haul in a 42-yard touchdown pass from rookie EJ Manuel that gave the Bills a 13-7 second-quarter lead and was the first touchdown the Ravens defense had allowed since Week 1, Flacco found Dickson in the middle of the field.
However, the pass hit off the hands of Dickson and wound up in the lap of former Ravens safety Jim Leonhard. Four plays later, Fred Jackson ran it in from 16 yards out, the touchdown giving the Bills a 20-7 lead.
"There's no excuse for it," Dickson said. "It was a ball that I probably made the catch on 48 times in my career and it happened early in the game. Mentally, it seems like a bad dream but I'll continue to grind it out and there's going to be brighter days with my success in this offense."
On his fourth interception, Flacco clearly thought Brown was going to cross the face of the linebacker. Instead his crossing route took him up the field and Flacco's throw went right to Alonso.
Flacco shouldered the blame on that one and took accountability for the loss on about five different occasions during the course of his interview. However, the Ravens clearly had other issues, starting with a ground game that gained just 24 yards against a run defense that ranked 30th in the NFL. By late in the third quarter, the Ravens abandoned the run game altogether and Rice and Bernard Pierce became spectators.
"We've got to get to the point where we can execute in the running game," Harbaugh said.
The Ravens also didn't stop the run, which is the one thing that they had consistently done well through the first three games. They had allowed just 224 rushing yards and no touchdowns on the ground coming in. On Sunday, they were gouged for 203 rushing yards on 55 total carries, including the Jackson score.
But Flacco, who was sacked four times, looked past all that. All he knew was that after a long week of preparation, which started with Bryant McKinnie and Jacoby Jones's party bus incident and included former Raven Ray Lewis questioning the team's leadership, the Ravens had multiple chances to salvage a poor performance and win. He believes that they would have too, if he would have just stopped throwing the ball to the other team.
"The result and the way we played really explains it all. You practice all week and don't play a good game. I didn't do that and we didn't do that," Flacco said. "We are just not good enough right now. I guess, that is probably the simplest explanation."


text: Intentional Dialogue Understanding, empathy, and connecting with your spouse does not automatically happen. Without active, purposeful and regular dialogue, emotional closeness will wither and a shared sense of life and journey will falter and risk drying up. Emotional closeness and connectedness is the life blood to a healthy and growing relationship with your spouse. Steps to create dialogue that will nourish your relationship with your spouse To prevent or correct emotional disconnect, you and your spouse can develop this habit (daily practice until it becomes a habit) of couple communication technique* to create the intentional dialogue that will nourish your relationship wellbeing. Request an appointment to dialogue. Make sure you have enough time for both partners to have a turn. If possible find a private, comfortable, quiet space to talk in. Decide who will be the first "sender" (the one doing the talking) and who will be the first "receiver" (the one doing the listening). You will switch roles later. (optional) Start by holding hands and each partner making some statement of affection and commitment to the other (i.e. "you are incredibly special to me.") The sender begins to talk about what they want to share. Be careful to do it in small bits (you'll get a chance to say everything you need to - short segments increase the chance that your partner will "get" it all). Make sure that you talk about yourself - avoid criticizing or commenting on your partner's behavior. The receiver repeats back what the sender has said and asks "Did I get that right?" ("What I think I heard you say is that you are really looking forward to...did I get that right?") If there are no corrections the receiver then asks "Is there more?" Continue sending and mirroring (repeating) until the sender feels that he/she has said everything he or she wishes to. The receiver then "validates" what the sender has shared. For example he or she might say "It makes sense to me that you are looking forward to lunch with your sisters this week. They have been really important sources of support for you, and I know that you've been having a rough time recently." Validation is simply telling the other person that their world makes sense to you - even if it is different from the way the world looks to you! It is important to remember that validation does not mean agreement - just that their world makes sense to you. The receiver then "empathizes" with the sender. Empathy is letting yourself imagine how the other might be feeling. For example, you might say "I imagine when you don't see your sisters for a while you start to feel lonely and a little cut off from your family." After completing the three steps of Mirror - Validation - Empathy, switch roles. End by again holding hands and sharing an appreciation of the other. *Portions of this article adapted from the book "Getting The Love You Want" by Harville Hendrix, PhD. David Grobbel, L.M.S.W.

Tues June 11th 4-7pm | The Introverts Introduction to Erotica
Sex is actually really gross - but those are usually the best parts. Regardless if you agree or disagree with that statement, this course is for you. I'll either change your mind or we're already friends and just don't know it . This course aims to take the shame and uncertainty out of erotica. You will learn how to infuse erotic subjects and imagery into boudoir, lifestyle, and traditional portraiture in a social safe and explicit manner. We'll go over developing themes from the ground up and incorporate power dynamics to enhance your imagery.
We'll breakdown and compare shooting both live and simulated sex and their differences emotionally and technically.
This is extremely emotional and vulnerable work for both you and your models, so we'll also cover the best techniques for setting expectations as well as the most effective ways to communicate them.
Boon Ong and I will be demonstrating all of the above PLUS how to depict sexual tension without actually having any.

Dear friends,
Earlier in the week, I posted my favourite summer-time playsuit: 'POLKA PLAYSUIT PART I, and promised I'd return with a second post, revealing another fabulous way of wearing this one-piece beauty.
I love creating different looks with a wardrobe staple, so here I've simply added a pair of high waisted trousers and heels to my playsuit and voilà - outfit transformed.
What do you think?
I'm wearing:
'Rock the Tanjong' playsuit, via VAMASTYLE
High waisted trousers, Motel, via MARKET HQ
Wedges, via, TONY BIANCO

Blue Valentine, which premiered at Cannes last night, is the story of a married couple and, like anything that references Top Waits titles, presumably fancies itself deep and enigmatic. Maybe it is! Anyway, the stars certainly looked awesome...mostly.
Michelle Williams is one of our time's great puller-offers. This somewhat grotesque Venus-goes-to-Miami, for instance, looks about 100 times better than it has any right to.
Is the bandage the new LBD? Gisella Marengo certainly wears it that way.
Cliches done well are classics. See: Rachel Bilson's Cat-People number. So Simone Simon!
If you gotta "aww" here, no one's going to judge you: Ryan seems to have a way with the young ladies, especially little Faith Wladyka.
Producers Jamie Patricof, Lynette Howell and Alex Orlovsky demonstrate the basic awkwardness of the 3-person photo. This is when you have to just do the shoulder-arm, yearbook style.
Mallika Sherawat's gown: elegant, classic, and you can wear it anywhere!

Hello, my dear readers and followers, I am back with another leather pouch craft pattern and tutorial after being away for more than a month. This Leather Key Pouch is an easy no-sew key pouch to make, perfect as a quick gift to make for any occasion and especially ideal for Father's day, Christmas, Birthday etc.
This Leather Key Pouch is a simple tri-fold pouch made from genuine leather scrap. The pouch closure uses an easy-to-install Button Stud with no sewing needed. It measures 2 1/2″ (W) x 4″ (H), excellent size to put into pockets and small purse to keep the keys together. The key holder bracket is fixed to the pouch by using double cap rivet set hence there is no sewing needed too. I am using a round keyholder bracket which is uncommon in the market, but there are rectangle type which you can get it from some craft shops [Update: I have these 2 brackets in Craft Passion Shop, Round & Rectangle]. In order to further embellish the leather key pouch, you may add a small key charm to the front of the key pouch but it is absolutely optional.
Many readers did ask me when I posted the first no-sew mini leather pouch, they wanted to know if it is possible to replace the genuine leather with other material, my answer is YES. You can use substitute leather, eg. PVC leather, thick laminated sheet, thicker felt, even thick washable KRAFT paper fabric to make the leather pouch, as long as the material is bendable and thick enough to hold into shape.
No- Sew Leather Key Pouch – How To Make
get the link below ⬇
Please let me know should you have any question on getting the materials. I will try my best to help if possible. Lastly, I hope you all like this easy leather key pouch and seeing you making it soon.

Today I woke up with no schedule. No plans. For the first time in three weeks! Since moving to Ocala, I have been overcome with emotions. Happiness, excitement, worry, joy, anticipation, nervousness, relief... I am sure there are a few I'm leaving out. But above all else, if there's one thing I can testify to... it is thankfulness. It may only be Monday, but I am going to begin this new week by listing a few things I have been thankful for since this transition.
I am thankful for...
My brave and faithful husband.
I have been amazed by Josh's obedience to God, even when it may mean taking the difficult path. Uprooting our lives and moving to a new city, leading a new ministry, and making new friends... is not an easy task. It takes a man of character, leadership and strength to make this transition comfortable - not only for himself, but for his family as well. I am thankful today for my husband and his ability to do that.
A welcoming church family.
We have been blown away by the support of our new church family @ The Springs. There were about 20 people in and out of our house the day we arrived. Helping us unload, unpack and stocking our pantry with groceries. It was a sight to see! In fact, as I look around my house right now... it looks like we have lived here for at least three months, not three WEEKS! They have gone above and beyond to bless us and make us feel welcome here. Thank you, Church @ The Springs.
Our baby boy, Micah.
Now that we are settled into our home, we can begin the exciting journey of planning for the arrival of our little boy, Micah! Every morning I am greeted with a little "thump, thump" from this little one. Being pregnant was an answer to prayer for us, and one that I will never take advantage of. There are only 16 weeks left to enjoy, before Micah is expected to make his appearance. This pregnancy has flown by! I am thankful for our precious blessing.
My mom's remission from cancer.
I received the great news that my mom's cancer was in remission... on my BIRTHDAY! It was a wonderful gift. The best I could ask for. I know that this does not mean the end of the battle for her just yet, but it does give us hope that the chemo is working and the cancer can be defeated! As with any trial, it brings us to our knees. Our dependence is on the Lord to get through it. I can say this has been so true for my family. I am so thankful for God's mercy and healing on my mother.
New opportunities.
Not everything about transitioning is difficult, of course. There are lots of exciting opportunities for us ahead as we make new friends, discover new ways to use our gifts and talents, and explore our new city! We have already enjoyed eating out at several local places, found the closest airport where we can take a short (55 minute!!) flight to Greenville to visit Josh's family, we joined the local YMCA, I led worship with The Springs team this weekend and Josh has baptized two students already!! We are thankful for this new platform and all the opportunities that come with it. May God be honored in all we do!

Selena Gomez isn't afraid to get help when she needs it.
Earlier today, E! News confirmed that the "Come & Get It" singer secretly completed a two-week stint at an Arizona rehab center last month. "Selena voluntarily spent time at Meadows but not for substance abuse," a rep for Gomez told us, adding that her rehab stay was not connected to issues with drugs or alcohol.
"She's never been better," a source also told us of Gomez post-rehab. "She's strong and great."
So were there signs that Gomez was struggling with personal issues? Here's a timeline of Gomez's road to her secret rehab stay.

"What?" Acey yelled from the other side of the apartment.
"Come check this out," Mark urged.
Mark was the first one to open the front door that morning, and when he did so, popcorn flooded into the living room. Someone had not only
rigged up a clever contraption to make it so kernels would quickly come crash onto our carpet, but as soon as the popcorn stopped flowing, a note with the name "Acey" on it was taped so it couldn't possibly be missed.
"Who's this from?" Acey wondered as he made his way to the note.
"I think someone's asking you to a dance or something," Mark said.
"Yup," Acey said as his eyes scanned the note. "It says 'It would just be popping if you would go to the dance with me.'"
"At least it's not corny," Mark said sarcastically.
"Corny? Popcorn-corny? Mark, really?" Acey said. "You're worse than this note."
"Ha ha," Mark laughed. "I didn't even mean it that way. So who is she?"
"It says Sandy," Acey said, flipping the note over to see if anything was written on the back. "I don't even know anybody named Sandy. You think it's just a joke someone's playing on me?"
"Is there a last name?" I asked. "Look her up in the directory."
There was indeed a last name on it and she was easy to find in the college directory. Ricks College, a relatively small 2 year college in Idaho where I attended my freshman year, always put out a directory of all the students and their phone numbers. The directory was great for finding just about anyone you might have bumped into once or twice.
"You guys did this, didn't you?" Acey accused, grinning at Mark
and me.
"No, this time it wasn't us!" Mark contested. "I swear. And I don't think it was the other guys either."
Acey was justified in his skepticism. One time we opened up the directory, found a random girl's name and number, and wrote him a note on the message board that she had called and that he needed to call her back. Acey, being the social cowboy that he was, quickly realized in his conversation that his roommates had played a joke on him, but he somehow got a date with this stranger anyway.
Acey looked up her name in the directory and called Sandy on the phone. He got some details about the dance coming up, but told her he would have to get back to her about whether or not he could go.
"Apparently I danced with her once when I went swing dancing a few weeks back, " he said after hanging up the phone. "I go country dancin'all the time, but I don't remember anyone named Sandy."
"Want us to go check it out?" Mark asked.
"What do ya mean?" Acey wondered.
"I mean, Russ and I will go over to their apartment pretending like we're just going around being social," Mark explained, "and we'll see what she's like. If she's hot, you'll be able to know. If she's some sort of crazy stalker, we should be able to figure that out too."
"Yes, yes," Acey's eyes lit up. "Do that!"
We parked around the corner from Sandy's place, still close enough that Acey could see who answered the door in hopes to get a glimpse of Sandy. The attempt was a failure, though, because Sandy wasn't the one who answered the door. In fact, she wasn't even home.
"We're just going around meeting people," Mark said.
"Oh, well, I'm Debra," the girl at the door said. "Come on in."
First things first, I'm sure a lot of people are reading that line where Mark said, "We're just going around meeting people," and thinking that we were either idiots or that there was no possible way someone would fall for that. Well, those people didn't go to school in Rexburg, Idaho back in the 20th century, because that type of thing wasn't unusual back then and there. Debra didn't seem to think anything of it, and we were quickly in the door.
"So, tell us about yourself," I said.
Debra began talking about her interests, where she was from, what she was studying, etc., and when she got to the part about what classes she was taking…
"Oh, I'm taking Biology 101 as well," I said.
"Yeah, I know," Debra smiled. "You're in my class."
I froze. I had no idea. I know it seems like if I was outgoing enough to go up to a stranger's door saying I just wanted to meet people, that I would also be the same type of social person who would pay better attention to those sitting around him in biology class, but I guess I wasn't. I didn't particularly enjoy biology at that time (I probably would now), so I just did what I had to do to get in, get my grade, and get out of there.
"So, tell us about your roommates," Mark said. "What are they like?"
"My roommate, Liz, is awesome," she said, and continued to talk about all of the things they did together.
We waited for her to continue on to talk about Sandy, but it didn't come. We had to pull it out of her.
"So, there are just 2 of you?" I asked.
"Well, there's Sandy," she said, but didn't add any more details.
"What's she like?" Mark and I wondered together.
Debra was hesitant, but she gradually spilled the beans about her roommate. Soon we heard things about "all she seems to eat are bacon and mayonnaise sandwiches," and "she uses so much hairspray each morning that the back of the bathroom door is permanently glazed," and, of course, "she goes country dancing all the time to pick up on guys, gets their name, and calls them the next day from the registry."
"I wish she'd been the one to answer the door," Acey said once we got back in the car. "Then I could have gotten a good look at her."
"Well, we got to see plenty of pictures," Mark said. "Each of the roommates had their own shelf where they could put whatever they wanted on it. The other girls had pictures with their friends and of their family and stuff. Her shelf was just pictures of herself."
"And…?" Acey wondered.
We gave Acey our report. We filled him in on everything we'd talked about with Debra, who, by the way, became one of my best friends as well as my biology study partner. After Mark and I finished with our account, Acey knew there was only one honest, manly, and respectable thing to do…
"I'm sorry," Acey said over the phone. "That happens to be a weekend I'm going home to see my family."
True story.

Bryant University's Dragon Dance Team
About the Dragon Dance Team
Bryant University's Dragon Dance Team is a student performing arts group for the traditional Chinese performance art: dragon dance. The team was founded in September 2009. The Dragon Dance Team has publicly performed numerous times since our inception and has also become an official Bryant student organization. Bryant 's Dragon Dance Team has three dragons that are used for performances. Two of the dragons are 54 feet long with nine bamboo poles for each position of the dragon from head to tail. The third dragon is the smaller dragon, with only five bamboo poles for each position. For each dragon, there is also one separate pole for the dragon ball which leads the dragon throughout the dance.
Dragon dance is typically performed during the Chinese New Year or Spring Festival. Dragon dancing mimics the fluid movements of the mythical Chinese dragon through careful and quick synchronization of the dragon's body through various actions and positions. These movements symbolize the power and dignity of the dragon.
Head Coach: Professor Hu Kai
Professor Hu Kai is the head coach of Bryant's Dragon Dance Team. Professor Hu is a professor of physical education at Chinese University of Geosciences (CUG) in Wuhan, China. She also coached the CUG dragon dance team and led the team to win championships at international competitions. Professor Hu is also a master of Taiji and Wushu martial arts. She served as an official judge at the 2008 Wushu Tournament in Beijing which was showcased alongside the Beijing Olympic Games.

Performances in Schools and Communities
What Members Have Said
Alyssa Lee, Marketing Major '18, United States
"Dragon dance has been a wonderful opportunity in that I have been able to perform for many events like WaterFire and the on-campus event i2i. I cannot express how thankful I am to all of the members who I have learned dragon dance from as a freshman and those who I have taught as an upperclassman. Being on the team made me realize how important it is to pass on traditions from one generation to another, and what it means to have a team so close they are like family. I cannot imagine what my college life would be like if I had not had the dragon dance family with me, and with them I have created memories that will stay with me for the rest of my life."
Anita Huang, International Business Major '19, United States
"What I love most about our dragon dance team is that we are a family. We help each other out not only during practices, but whenever any one of us has a problem. We work hard together to always put on the best show we can for our audience and we share the joys when our audience is pleased by our performance. Every one of us has a very different personality and somehow when these come together, we can make a great team that is filled with energy, laughter, and lots of love."
Lauren Lo, Accounting Major '20, United States
"I joined the Dragon Dance club because it gave me a chance to learn and understand more about my culture. I enjoy being part of such a supportive and friendly team. Performing together generates a sense of trust and unity with my teammates, which is what I love about this club. The opportunity to travel to China and compete is something I was not expecting from my college career, but it is an adventure I am excited to experience with this team."
Chiyun Li, International Business Major '12, China
"Dragon dance is a traditional form of dance that is performed during special occasions, including New Year celebrations. While studying abroad in the United States, I never expected that I would be a member of the Bryant Dragon Dance Team. It has been a great opportunity for me to learn and practice a traditional part of my Chinese culture. The best part of this experience was learning dragon dance from Wushu Master, Coach Kai Hu. She is the youngest Wushu Master in China and was even a judge during the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. She is a fun loving person and every member of our team enjoyed learning from her. I am very proud of our team and happy that we are so diverse. We have members from countries all over the world and it has been great to come together to learn something new about Chinese culture."
Alicia Kennedy, International Business Major '12, United States
"As a student intern at the US China Institute, I have been learning a lot about the Chinese culture this semester. When the opportunity to learn dragon dance presented itself, I just couldn't say no, especially since I was going to learn from a professional, Kai Hu, who has coached, judged, and competed in Dragon Dance competitions in China for many years. The team started out small, but quickly grew in size. For almost two weeks we practiced nightly just to learn the basics. I have to be honest; I never thought it would be so difficult! It takes skill, patience and true teamwork and cooperation to perform. The experience has been truly rewarding. I have learned something new, particularly about the Chinese culture. In addition, I have made some wonderful friendships with students from all classes and a variety of cultures. I am so proud to be a member of the Dragon Dance Team and I am looking forward to future performances and learning more from Kai Hu in her next trip to Bryant!"
Varishensagar Shah, International Business Major '12, India
"The dragon dance was one of the most unique experiences for me here at Bryant. At first I used to keep wondering what could be the most interesting thing I could do in my years at college. The dragon dance is definitely at the top of the list. It was an experience for me to learn the cultural dance of another country and I look forward to trying to get the grant and go to China to do the dance there, competing against the best!"
Rohan Laungani, Actuarial Mathematics Major '12, Nigeria
"When I first heard about the Dragon Dance team applications, I was curious about what it was and I didn't think that I would have time for it. My friend Victoria told me that she was joining it and I should come along and check it out with her. When I first met Professor Hu and we did some activities together as a team, I started to have a lot of fun. I eventually set aside time from my busy schedule for the team. I am really excited about our competition this summer in China. I had a great time learning some of the martial arts moves through the dragon dance. I really miss Professor Hu and I have had a great experience with the team and I am encouraging others to join it too."

The Bryant Dragon Dance Team is happy to consider performance invitations from organizations at Bryant and local communities to bring this special aspect of Chinese culture to a broader audience.

The leading
Meg Whitman's Housekeeper Controversy
by Pamela Hartman
All of the contradictions and complexities of our nations immigration policy are being publicly exposed in the current contretemps between California gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman and her former housekeeper.
Opponents of immigration including Whitman - tend to speak about immigration enforcement in shrill, impersonal terms: Take Whitmans promise to be tough as nails on immigration policy. But in Whitmans case as in others, the rhetoric and the reality are far apart.
Scratch the surface of any immigration controversy and you find the complex lives of people: immigrants who form relationships with their employers, their spouses and children, immigrants who are part of communities, who cannot be expunged from our lives with the wave of the Border Patrols wand.
Whitmans language changed dramatically when she had to address the real toll that her maids illegal status had on the lives of those around her. Gone was the tough talk about ridding California of illegal immigrants. Now the issue was human.
I was not going to make an example of Nicky, Whitman said in explaining her reluctance to hasten the deportation of her former housekeeper by calling the authorities. The housekeeper, she said, was part of her extended family.
That is where the true difficulty in enforcing immigration policy lies: how do you separate families and communities in an effort to cleanse the country of illegal immigrants? In my opinion, the answer is you cant.
Immigration opponents are already calling Whitman a hypocrite. I agree that she is hypocritical for supporting a crackdown on illegal immigrant employers while trying to hide her own, perhaps inadvertent, employment of one. But to me the actions of her and her husband in trying to protect her housekeeper from deportation are not hypocritical. They are human.
It is easy to be anti-immigrant in the abstract. It is much harder when that immigrant is your friend, your spouse, when it is the gardener, the butcher, the housekeeper, the caregiver that you rely on. This imbroglio reveals the messiness of human relations that is at the heart of any discussion of immigration.

Venus Retrograde: A time for reevaluation
On March 4th, Venus, the planet most associated with love and beauty, shuffled backwards into a six-week retrograde, gliding first through the sign of Aries, followed by a jaunt into Pisces, where it will eventually turn direct on April 15th.
This retrograde, unlike that of Mercury, occurs solely once every eighteen months and as Venus is the ruling planet of both Libra and Taurus, this isn't forced contemplation in just one area of our lives, but two; that of love and money.
As with all retrogrades, this is a period of intense reflection. A time to reevaluate what is and is not working in certain aspects of our lives, most especially in regards to the love we have for others and in turn for ourselves. We might be finding ourselves asking what exactly it is that we value in this lifetime. What is it that truly brings us joy, happiness and a sense of fulfilment.
With the first few weeks of this retrograde spent in fiery Aries, anything that wasn't quite in balance was suddenly up for inspection, whether that was work or relationship related. Ultimately, Venus wants harmony and in order to obtain it, certain things needed to be dealt with. Therefore any previous leanings we may have had towards burying our head in the sand and hoping our problems went away were probably eradicated during this time frame. Whether we liked it or not, for the good of all, our cracks were now fully on display.
Being the first sign of the zodiac, Aries literally represents beginnings and forward motion. It demands action and it's not about to wait around for everyone to get their shit together before it proceeds forward. It's a now or never, do or die kinda sign. It's not about to compromise. This astrological hot head wants all or nothing.
And just as we thought all hell was breaking loose on the emotional front, Venus did a side step into watery Pisces, a mutable sign that ushers in both endings and thus in turn beginnings. With this energy in charge, it was probably always on the cards that old habits, old wounds and potentially old flames were going to crop up, in order to be redealt with.
This shuffle back and forth between signs is comparable to the tide flowing in and out. Venus wants to pull back, collect what it can from the sea's murky depths and then drag its findings out onto the shoreline. It's attempting to cleanse its waters of any pollutants that might have collected negligently over time. It's arduous work granted and the emotional fallout can be intense, but oh is it necessary.
By the time Venus moves back round to close out its retrograde, we'll be only too painfully aware of what we need to cut loose, whether that's a person, a relationship, a job or even just an outdated idea we have of ourselves and the way we do things. It will be time to finally let go of anything we've come to realise no longer serves us. This shift in energy, if we choose to use it wisely, will help us lay to rest old wounds, old patterns and anything we need to move on from, in order to start anew.
Regardless of the conclusions we come to during this time, the only way we can truly move forward is fearlessly. Love of self, love of others, love of life and of our craft; It takes a courageous heart to love anything at all because it requires us to be able and willing to accept the inevitability of loss. Yet, to hold ourselves back from loving in order to avoid the pitfalls that come attached is to cease to live altogether. When you accept that there is no joy without pain, there is no light without dark, you live in a state of appreciation and non-resistance. You live fully and what is the point to life, if not to be lived.
May this retrograde period bring you the clarity you need and the strength to know what to do with it.

Ginny and I were invited to share Andy's story, along with melanoma survivors who had incredible stories of courage and words of wisdom. The attendees intend to take back the facts about sun safety and the dangers of tanning to their schools. We were very encouraged by their enthusiam and are grateful for the Melanoma Foundation of NE for putting on this great event. Hopefully we can get the word out and save lives!

The Girl with the Cowbell Tattoo: What State Am I In?
I guess the title of this post can be read two ways: physical or mental state? And I think the correct answer is: both. When I decided to move to Massachusetts last spring, I thought I'd be set for the season: no travel more than two hours to get to any race I'd be doing. All I can think of is that cliche: "We make plans and God laughs." These days, my parents call me and instead of asking how I am, they first ask where in the US I am. And often, it's not the same place that I was the last time we spoke. But, as I've said many times in the past two months, it has been one amazing ride.

Matilda turned one on Tuesday.
One year already, can you believe it. This last year has gone by so fast and at the same time I can remember days which seemed to last forever (ha). What a ride it has been so far and how amazing it is to wake up every morning by the noises she makes and to see her developing her own little personality.
Having a child is amazing but also super tough at times. I never really had an idea how it would be, how amazing it is to watch them learn something new, when they giggle or recognize or smile at you but also little did I know how exhausted you could feel and oh how tired.
While typing this she is looking at a book while lounging on her teddy bear - and I think there might not be enough or the right words to describe how much she means to us ...

Tenderness (La tendresse) Trailer (2013)
Trailer for Tenderness.
A film of small moments and grand themes, Marion Hansel's delicate and richly sincere road movie Tenderness brings a long-divorced couple back together, as they put their differences aside to help their only child, hospitalized in France following an accident.
Separated for 15 years, 50-somethings Frans (Olivier Gourmet) and Lisa (Marilyne Canto) immediately drop everything when they hear news that their son Jack (Adrien Jolivet) has fractured his leg while skiing with his new girlfriend. Needing to collect both Jack and his car, they set off for the day-long drive from Brussels to the French resort of Flaine. There is little animosity between the two -- they have clearly kept in touch -- but as the journey commences, old irritations and habits begin to surface. What do they still feel for one another? Indifference, rancour, jealousy? Or perhaps complicity, friendship... and, who knows, love?
Tenderness, true to its title, isn't a tale of immense conflict or overblown drama, rather a compassionate, warm-hearted and often funny depiction of love and affection. Beautifully shot (the cinemascope vistas - whether they be snowy mountains or open European motorways - are stunning) and featuring charmingly natural and believable performances from Canto and Gourmet, with a lovely appearance by the irrepressible Sergi Lopez, this is a simple but profound story of the good that can happen when people care about each other, and the joy of time well spent in the company of family, even those that have been separated by time, distance and difference.

Phrog Eye Photo has been my pet project since 2008. What started as a way to give back to my community in high school has grown into a way for me to capture the world around me as I travel. (Check out my story!)
During my time at Harvard, I began to explore a passion I have had since my childhood by diving in to the world of architecture and design. Over the past four years, I have had the opportunity to design a home and and eat at its kitchen table a year later, to hone my design eye and senses studying at Harvard's Graduate School of Design, and to explore the economic forces that influence and constrain our daily lives.
When I wasn't studying architecture or economics, I was taking every opportunity possible to travel during my time at Harvard. I spent summers studying abroad in Southeast Asia and England, and my winter and spring breaks traveling and organizing international conferences with the Harvard College in Asia Program.
These travels, coupled with my upbringing in Vermont, have inspired in me the importance of a grass roots approach to sustainable design. Whether I am looking for the best way to make our lived spaces more efficient, or researching how design can help businesses with sustainable missions flourish, I am a firm believer in the power of conscientious design.
For me, design is the conscientious addition of art and information. Design, at its best, is about listening, observing. There is beauty in using data, knowledge, and ideas to collaboratively create something that inspires because it is novel and useful.

Once upon a time, a Saloon girl meets a real cute cowboy at a Saloon.. We will call it "Tombstop" (Not to be confused as GAMESTOP).. Cowboy wants nothing more than to steal her heart so he tries to get a job at "Tombstop"..
The Saloon girl interviews him for the job, but really feels like there could be *more* there than just a good Assistant Manager.. err... Cowboy.
Saloon girl does not hire him, and they fall in love because he tells the funniest cowboy jokes around. He puts a ring on her finger and the rest is history.
True Story.

Guess who's coming for dinner?
Well, the whole weekend actually..
Miss Sophie claps her hands now, and it is so cute to watch, and Karsen just had her 7th birthday and first slumber party! Love those girls (:
In other news, Red River Shootout (Texas/OU Game) happened this weekend.. This did not end well for my Longhorns, and as you probably know by now, means that my husband (OU Fan) gets to wear the pants this year.. for a whole year, until Texas wins again. Which really is just a silly joke because we all know who wear the pants. Right?
So, since there were no movies showing, and we went to dinner fairly early Saturday night, and were not ready to go home (and someone had an adult beverage at dinner and was super giggly) he chose to do this..
Yep. That says PSYCHIC READER. It was so weird. We drove up at this house, and there were two really really nice cars in the driveway. So for some reason this made us think that it was safe to just walk up to this place and walk in. Well, like I said it was someone's house, and there was a little girl that was sitting on the floor in the dark in the living room just staring at us. Not kidding.
There was a very small kitchen directly to our left, and there were pots left on the stove with some kind of food in them. It was really messy, and the little girl asked us if we wanted her to go get her mom. We told her yes, and her mother came around the corner hacking her lungs up, not covering her mouth, and asked us if she could help us.. My hilarious husband pops back with, "You don't already know?" and Drunky (me) starts laughing so hard. She told us she was really sick, and asked if we could come back tomorrow. We got the heck out of there and did not go back the next day, but we did talk about it all day and how much it creeped us out.
So, that my friends, is a Date night with the Durbs.
And then we came home and watched the Amanda Knox movie, and SNL of course.
In baby news, it's CD1 and my last cycle was only 32 days.. getting better!
That's all for now!
Have a wonderful week!

Survey says...
B. Bed size: Queen- for some reason, this was one of the toughest decisions we had whenever we bought our furniture for our house. My 6 foot 6 husband probably needs a King bed, but my thoughts were that I did not want our someday child sleeping in bed with us, and if we had a Queen bed they wouldn't fit. I have heard of some couples having their 13 year olds sleep in bed with them, and I just did not ever want to get that started. Also, if we ever go to bed mad, we can't stay mad long because we are up in each others grill, and Matt is making weird noises that are being recorded. More on that later.
I. Instruments you play: I can totally rock the air guitar.
K. Kids: None, just the dogs
L. Live: Outside of Houston, Texas, in Humble (pronounced "Umble", please do not pronounce it Humble to my face)
N. Nicknames: H-Bomb
O. Overnight hospital stays: None thank goodness!
P. Pet peeves: I hate it when people stare, and I hate it people drive for miles and miles and miles down the road with their blinker on. I think it makes me more nausous to think that the blinker contraption thingy might be clicking inside their car and they do not hear it or it does not bother them.
S. Siblings: 2 brothers, 1 sister, three sister in laws, 2 brother in laws, and one sister in law on the way (:

3D Point Scanning
3D Point Cloud Scanning
Ardent Architects have one of the first next generation Leica BLK360 3D scanners in Australia.
3D point cloud scanning allows us to capture a highly accurate model of any existing building for use in design or record keeping. Often referred to as "reality scanning" the scanner captures many millions of points throughout the building giving you amazing detail down to the level of light fitting locations, ceiling grids, architraves, skirtings.
Unlike older scanners this generation captures 15 mega pixel images during scanning allowing for photographic quality scans as well as thermal imaging.
Laser scanning allows for highly accurate capturing of any built form within 60m of the scanner.
Accurate to 6mm
Scans up to 60m away
Multiple floors in one scan file
Thermal imaging
Scans completed and available same day
Scans can be added to later if scope is increased
Objects such as adjoining houses, tanks, pipes can be turned into meshes for use as 3D objects in projects.
3D Point Cloud scanning applications and uses include:
Heritage building recording, external and internal for archiving purposes as well as highly detailed existing conditions modelling for design purposes.
Scanning of high and complex structures that would be impossible to measure by traditional methods.
Thermal scanning included, allowing for existing thermal performance of buildings to be evaluated.
Automated registration of scans so multiple floors can be scanned and aligned instantly.
Live connection to Autodesk 360° so clients can access scans while they are being done with the final product being available as soon as the on site scan is complete.
Point cloud scans can be marked up and measurements taken for briefing Architects and consultants. Clients can walk through the existing building making notes in 3D using Autodesk Recap to develop the design brief.
Ardent Architects can convert point cloud scans into Revit existing conditions drawings for use in developing future designs.

Howdy from Tulsa!
Today is World Card Making Day 2018! I will be celebrating this beautiful day with a new card blog post using Altenew's "Perfectly Perfect" stamps and dies. Altenew's flowers and blooms are to die for, or at least I think so. On to my project for today!
My first photo shows the first steps in my process using "Perfectly Perfect". I have used the Create-A-Wreath for a few extra leaves and the circle wreath. I cut the circle twice, added Pure Graphite Crisp Ink, and after drying I glued the two together. The leaves were die cut and sprayed with Forest Glades Metallic Shimmer Ink Spray (love these sprays). My stamp's blooms and leaves were colored with Altenew's Artist Markers. The blooms with C001 – Buttercream, Y204 – Mango Smoothie, Y205 – Warm Sunshine, Y612 – Caramel Toffee, and Y823 – Paper Bag. The leaves with G702 – Frayed Leaf, G715 – Forest Glades, and G554 – Evergreen.
This next photo shows the glued wreath ring, my background layer flicked with Altenew's Forest Glades and Caramel Toffee Metallic Shimmer Ink Spray. Like I said before, I love these sprays! The shimmer is unbelievable! Also my finished card base will be 5.5" squared. I used some silver washi tape along the top and left side for a little more interest.
Below you can see the finished project. I decided to add Nuvo Metallic Silver Lining Crystal Drops. The card was a little left side heavy. I added some Indigoblu Unicorn Sparkle to the three drops because I messed up adding them. I really need to use a non-stick mat for my drops. This would allow me to pick and choose the ones I want to use.
In the next few pictures you will see that I finished the center of each flower with the Paper Bag marker and added very small dots with a white gel pen. I also stamped "YOU ARE" with the Crisp Black ink. My banner was completed with Altenew's clear embossing ink and white embossing powder. The black cardstock was a scrap I found on my desk.
"Perfectly Perfect" will be entered in the following challenges:
Altenew Inspiration Challenge – Fall Colors
All Sorts Challenge – Trees and/or Leaves
Colour Crazy Challenge – Anything Goes with Coloring
Artistic Inspiration Challenges – Anything Goes
Thanks so much for stopping by!
