The perfect outdoor corporate event for a motivated and competitive group.
The games are carefully selected to not require high levels of sporting prowess, we make the event as inclusive as possible without ever losing the sharp competitive edge that makes the day fun.
Key to the success of the event within a team building context is that this is a team event pure and simple. Heroes need not apply; unless the team is able to structure itself to make the most of differing talents at the various challenges then it will not prevail.
With a huge array of sports to choose from including amongst others, javelin, shot putt, volleyball, clay pigeon shooting, air rifle shooting, laser clay shooting, human table football, archery, dragon boat racing and kayaking, this team building event is incredibly flexible and can be tailored to your requirements. Please talk through the profile of your team with us.
This is a sporting event so as you might expect there will be a grand finale with bronze, silver and gold medals awarded to the winning teams!
The Games can also be held a variety of locations, but for the ultimate wow, EMG would recommend the 2012 Olympic rowing and kayaking venue, Dorney Lake in Berkshire.
Your Olympic Style Corporate Event includes:
- Insurance
- Pre and on-site event management
- Selection of sports
- All sports equipment required
- Instructors for each sport
- Bronze, Silver and Gold medals
Additional event considerations:
- What happens if it rains?
- Incorporating Your Values and Objectives
- Venue Finding
- Event Enhancements
- Theming
- Logistics Management
- Your Event, Not Ours

After the unpredicatable success of the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film last year, Nickelodeon is back with the sequel! Just released yesterday, the trailer to the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Out of the Shadows movie gives us a peek into what the turtles are up against this time!
From the details that have been released so far, Stephen Amell, best known for playing Green Arrow on The CW's Arrow will join as the hockey mask-wearing Casey Jones, Tyler Perry also joins to play mad scientist Baxter Stockman and Megan Fox returns to play April O'Neil. We also see that the turtles will have to go up against Rocksteady and Bebop, who die-hard fans will remember were humans that were mutated into a giant pig and rhino and known for being the dumb lackeys under Shredder.
I'm definitely looking forward to this and hope you guys are also! Check out the trailer below!

Lucie was from Prague in the Czech Republic. Enjoying her Christmas holiday here in Bali. And easy pickings for me finding a pretty blonde girl shopping all alone. She was cute and told me she liked posing. But you can clearly see in the video she LOVED all the attention. Next thing we were back in my hotel room doing a photoshoot. Soon she was stripped down to her pink bikini and giving me a hand job. First Date Bikini Blonde girls on holiday are the best! I bet Lucie was not like this at home in Europe. Sucking off some guy she just met for all the Date Slam followers. And what an amazing fuck she was, even begging me to cum inside her. A creampie in tight blonde pussy – what a perfect Christmas date!

Employees have never had a harder time staying focused on the task at hand.  Distractions have become so prevalent that today only 45% of employees' time goes to primary job duties. The average employee wastes more than 8 hours of each workweek, and more than half of that time takes place on a mobile device.  All this multitasking and that pile of read-but-not-responded-to emails cause employees significant stress. Unfortunately, two out of three workers say their employer is doing nothing to help them cope with stress, leading 42% of employees to report having left a position because of work-related stress.  Recently, the CDC identified stress as the number one workforce health issue. Fortunately, a growing body of research on our connected lives offers fresh insights on how to live productive, calm lives.  Digital Detangler combines expertise in education, software, and corporate strategy to bring cutting-edge, actionable information to people and organizations. From diagnostic services to hands-on workshops to speaking engagements, Pete Dunlap teaches the skills needed to thrive in today's information-rich landscape.

Sailors for love and for life!
Share this page
Andrew and his wife, Jill, are passionate sailors and full-time, live-aboard cruisers. They share their passion with their two small boys aboard Yahtzee, a Grand Soleil 39. This year was their third Summer Sailstice, and their third Sailstice sailing grounds - the Broughton Archipelago on the eastern side of Vancouver Island in the Pacific Northwest.
'Being fairly far north, we had long days of sunshine and got to sail both Yahtzee and the little Quartermaster 8 that we restored and named Hornpipe.'
Hornpipe is the little boat that has won this adventurous family a range of prizes, including a hardcover book, Keeping the Tradition Alive, from Maine Windjammer Cruises, a set of Dock Lines from New England Ropes, a superb polish compound from Peek Polish, a pair of Chafe Guards from Spirolls, and a 1-year subscription to Good Old Boat Magazine.
Andrew's decision to restore Hornpipe is undoubtedly due largely to his early introduction to sailboats; it seems he was born a sailor. His love for the wind powered vessels began in Michigan aboard an array of family sailboats, including a Grunman canoe bought by his great grandfather, complete with sailing rig and lee boards.
'Every summer of my life has included this lake, sailboats and time spent with family and friends. My siblings and I grew up racing with our dad and uncles in the sailing club that my great grandfather founded and as we got older, we've kept sailing.'
When Andrew and Jill began sailing together, soon after they'd finished college, it was the beginning of a life-long journey resulting in the pair living out their cruising dream.
'Cruising as a family is an incredible experience that we cherish everyday…'
The couple are members of the Seattle Yacht Club and the British Columbia based, Bluewater Cruising Association.
And their thoughts on Summer Sailstice?
'I love that the goal of Summer Sailstice is plain and simple, to get people out on the water enjoying sailing,' Andrew said.
If you want to read more about the Cross's sailing life, check out their blog, 'Rollin' With Yahtzee'
As fall approaches look around for a boat to restore this winter, take some pictures of the process and make sure she's ready to enter next year's 'Restore a Small Boat' contest and sail in Summer Sailstice 2017 on the weekend of June 24/25. There are just too many small boats like Hornpipe sitting idle which could be taking the next generation sailing soon.

Carrabba's Italian Grill Coupons
From BluWiki
Company Overview
Italian food aficionados know that not all Italian restaurants are created equally -- some stand out with original, authentic dishes while others offer bland and generic options that are stereotypical and boring. Likewise, some Italian restaurants feel like one big family dinner while others feel more like an impersonal experience. For those looking for excellent food and a great environment under one roof, nationwide, there is no better choice than Carrabba's Italian Grill.
The Italian restaurant chain was founded in Texas by an uncle and his nephew -- a true family affair. Their wide selection of authentic Italian recipes are taken right out of their family cookbook, and several of their family members till work in the two founding Texas locations each day, preparing food and perfecting each recipe as it leaves the kitchen.
The chain has grown from two local restaurants in Houston to a nationwide restaurant with over 200 locations, including one location in an airport; Tampa travelers can eat well before their flight leaves, and the company is looking into additional airport expansions in the future.
About the Restaurant & Menu
Now that your appetite has gotten a taste of just what this restaurant offers, you're probably wondering about the many ways to save money when dining out at Carrabba's Italian grill. The good news is, options for budget savings are plenty and varied; from a loyalty program operated by the restaurant itself to coupons at various online websites, this is a restaurant that values a good value.
The Amici Club
One of the hottest trends among all types of retailers and restaurants has been to develop loyalty programs that reward customers for becoming a member and dining out (or shopping) at their many locations. Carrabba's Italian Grill has their own loyalty program, which it bills as "The Amici Club." And while it will certainly save money for Italian food fans, it comes with a long list of other perks that are great for the whole family.
First and formost, Carrabba's "Amici Club" membership entitles members to exclusive deals on restaurant dishes. The company communicates with members via postal mail as well as email, and offers them everything from complimentary items off the standard restaurant menu to special prixe fixe menus and percentage discounts on a meal's total bill.
The Amici Club also entitles members to exclusive cooking tips and recipes from the chefs who design each entree on the menu at Carrabba's Italian Grill. Amici Club member also get inside information about gift card giveaways and discounts, special events at their local restaurant, and other special occasions within the company.
Special Invities
And, because Carrabba's Italian Grill wants to make sure each of its members feels highly valued, they'll get invitations to special, invitation-only events like wine tastings, cooking demos from Carrabba's chefs, and chef specials on the entrees they enjoy most.
Discounted Gift Cards
A great way to save on meals at Carrabba's Italian Grill is by looking at online gift card exchange websites that offer deep discounts on gift cards to many nationwide retailers and restaurants. Some of these websites offer up to a 30 percent savings off the retail price of a gift card; that discount goes straight to your bill at the end of your meal, as your gift card will be worth much more than you paid to purchase it. It can be the difference between skipping dessert, and getting dessert on the house!
The best way to find a discounted gift card for Carrabba's Italian Grill is by checking the gift card exchange powerhouses of Swapagift.com or GiftCardGranny.com, both of which regularly feature gift cards for this restaurant. And, if you have a gift card that you don't plan to use (or simply can't find anything to spend it on), you can swap the gift card online and pick up a Carrabba's gift card for even deeper discounts.
Various online websites have made a business out of aggregating printable coupons for use at Carrabba's Italian Grill locations. These coupons range from a dollar amount or a percentage off your total bill, to free appetizers with your meal or a free dessert at the end of the meal.
When using these coupons, it's important to always read over the terms and conditions of use. For example, many coupons wil offer $5 off a meal, but require that your bill reach at least $20 before the coupon is applicable. Other coupons for free appetizers or desserts may require an entree of a certain dollar value (or higher) before they can be applied to your total bill.
With a careful web search and an even more careful reading of each coupon's guidelines, this is a great way to save a small amount on your bill instantly -- without waiting for an official mailing from the restaurant's official loyalty program.
Why Carrabbas?
For the absolute best assortment of deals, there really is no competing with Carrabba's Italian Grill's loyalty program, known as The Amici Club. It's free to join and its perks go far above and beyond similar restaurants with loyalty programs.
They pair their meal discounts with special recipes, cooking demonstrations, and even invitation-only wine tasting events. If you want to feel like you stand out from the crowd, and like you're truly a part of Carrabba's close-knit Italian family, this is far and away the best package of deals and offers you could hope for.
Those who would like to join the club can do so at carrabbas.com/amici-club. An email address, mailing address, and phone number is all you need to start saving and eating well!

Well I have something I have to get off my chest. I did something this evening I swore I'd never do, but the devil pulled me in. Yes, I'm talking about Pinterest. You see, I've only ever set foot on that dreaded site twice, and the first time it was really by accident. The thing is, I know myself too well. I have this amazing amount of focus and so I can sit down and lose myself and look at the clock and see that it's four hours later. No, I know that Pinterest and I will not get along, and it is not because I won't like it.
It may sound funny that the reason I found myself on the site wasn't because of food. After all, you would think that because I have a food blog, I would want to find more inspiration. But actually, it was because of kitchens. My mom always said that when you spend enough time living in a house, you'll learn what's good and what's bad about the set up and you'll make those adjustments for the next house you get. I never really understood what she was saying, because she kept talking about sections of floor, corners and cupboards (or that's what I think she meant.) Now I get it though, because as I've been spending more and more time in the kitchen I've come to realize that one day when I finally get to build a house from the ground up, the kitchen is going to be the focal point of the house. I know a lot of people say that when you have company over, you don't want them anywhere near your kitchen because it's such a mess, but the reality is, you spend most of your time in the kitchen even when you have guests, and most of the people I know just cram themselves into the kitchen with you regardless of how ugly of a mess you have. (Some even start doing dishes because they feel sorry for you.) So, why not make it a large space that is amazing? Yeah, I can see a lot of money being spent in the future on this kitchen. Even though I am so incredibly thrifty, I think that that would be a good use of money.
So this brings me back to Pinterest. Because I sort of have these ideas in my head, but I'm not artistic in the slightest and thus have no really good way to express what I'd one day like, I figure I can start accumulating images now of what other people have done and then one day put them all in front of someone with some artistic ability who can connect it all together. So that is my justification for signing on to the whole Pinterest craze. It's kind of like my Twitter usage. I signed up there and then never used it so I deleted my account. Then I resigned up and still to this day I have never sent a single tweet. I do follow many many people though. Mainly surrounding country music or anyone that has anything to do with the Bachelor/Bachelorette (yeah, yeah I know, but haters can hate.)
Back to the food. I didn't like these cookies. Then I still didn't like them. But then I really liked them. At first I found them to be lacking something. But, maybe that was just because I was comparing them to what I believe is my favourite chocolate chip cookie which have so much flavour. Well, then these cookies didn't get eaten all that quickly so I threw them in the freezer, because even stale or bad cookies come out of the freezer tasting better. Well, frozen they weren't wonderful either so I stopped eating them but didn't throw them out (I guess I had hope for these poor suckers.) Then a few days ago we were out of cookies, except for some really bad oatmeal ones (I don't know why I made them, I'm not even fond of oatmeal cookies, but I had a craving for them), and so I pulled the container out of the freezer one more time...and they were good. Actually, better than good. Now I don't quite know what it is. Maybe it's just that at first I was comparing them to the best cookies and then by the end it was a comparison with the worst cookie. Or as I'm sitting here I'm remembering that I really overcooked the first couple of trays of these cookies. Maybe all the cookies on the top layers of the container were the overcooked ones, and now I'm getting to the normal ones. Or, maybe it's just a little of both.
With all that being said, I won't get rid of this recipe like I had been planning to do awhile ago. I wasn't even going to post on this recipe even though I had the pictures all ready to go, but things change.
I used the recipe that I got from Catz in the Kitchen, and because I didn't plan to share the recipe, I never marked down if I made any changes to it. I'm pretty sure I stuck with it pretty closely as I don't stray too far with cookie recipes. I usually only slightly increase the vanilla and add more chocolate. Oh, and for the hot chocolate mix, I used a package of Starbucks Mix that was caramel flavoured with caramel pieces in it. When I went backtracking to try and find who the original poster was for this recipe, I had to trace it back through many blogs. And I think I can say that The Little Things I Find is where it originated. One thing I just noticed is there they call for 4 packages of hot chocolate mix, which seems a bit excessive to me and I'm glad the recipe I used only called for the one.
I never knew what 'creaming' meant until I got my mixer. Before I used to 'crumble' not 'cream' butter and sugar. Oops!
3 1/4 C. Flour
1 Pkg. Hot Chocolate Mix
1 Tsp. Salt
1 1/4 Tsp. Baking Soda
1 C. Butter, softened
1 C. Sugar
2/3 C. Brown Sugar
2 Eggs
1 Tsp. Vanilla Extract
2 C. Chocolate Chips
~In a medium bowl, whisk flour, hot chocolate mix, salt and baking soda together. Set aside.
~In a mixing bowl cream together butter and sugars.
~Add the eggs and vanilla to butter mixture and mix to combine.
~Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix.
~Stir in chocolate.
~Place dough in the fridge for 1 hour.
~Preheat oven to 350 F.
~Drop cookies onto cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes, making sure to not over bake (which is hard seeing as they are already a dark colour to begin with, but a very important step).
~Cool cookies slightly on baking sheet and then transfer to cooling racks to cool completely.

Family connections and art are two passions for local artist Sue Gordon - so this weekend she is combining the two in a exhibition of portraits of 25 Te Awamutu people.
A keen artist, Mrs Gordon expanded into portrait painting when she and husband Brian returned home to Te Awamutu a few years ago.
It started when Mrs Gordon joined the Te Awamutu Genealogy Group and was asked who she was researching.
When she mentioned her great-grandfather Joseph Bathurst, another member said she had already researched some of that line.
Joseph Bathurst was a founding member of the Waipa Masonic Lodge and owned the Commercial Hotel.
His wife Julia owned and operated Ivanhoe Boarding House.
The genealogy colleague had gained permission and copied the Masonic Lodge photograph of Mr Bathurst for her research, and loaned that to Mrs Gordon, who decided to paint his portrait.
It was just a few weeks later, in April 2013, that a fire destroyed a large part of Waipa Lodge - including a number of the historic photos.
Fast forward to March this year, and the Gordons were contemplating a project to both raise funds for worthy causes and promote Mrs Gordon's art.
The answer was the 25 Faces of Te Awamutu project - painting portraits of 25 Te Awamutu people from various walks of life and making them available for sale.
Half the proceeds will be split 50/50 between St John Ambulance and Hospice Waikato - the other half will cover the expense of oils, boards and frames.
Mr Gordon approached candidates and secured photographs for his wife to work from.
He says no-one said no to being painted - that includes me.
It was impossible not to agree when I looked at the links between me and the Gordons.
My wife is a genealogy colleague of the artist and my mother used to board with Mr Gordon's family when she first came to Te Awamutu as a young woman.
Mrs Gordon says portraits of family members used to be popular - and could be again.
She says it is a way to preserve family memories and create a heirloom piece of art.
She is keen to take commissions from people wanting to have portraits painted.
The 25 Faces of Te Awamutu exhibition is this weekend at the Te Awamutu Library Community Room.
It opens to invited guests on Friday night and to the public on Saturday and Sunday 10am-3pm.

Our Story
The Christmas Box International partners with local, national, and international communities and groups to prevent child abuse and to improve the quality of life for children, teens and young adults who have been abused, neglected, or are facing homelessness.
Our motto is simple: every child deserves a childhood.
In 1996, founder and New York Times best-selling author Richard Paul Evans created a safe place for Utah's children, a Christmas Box House, naming the charity after his first novel, The Christmas Box.
In 2018, we served 10,474 unique children, teens and young adults who were victims of abuse, neglect and homelessness. Since completing construction of our emergency children's shelters, we continue to grow our programs. From providing a Christmas morning to serving teens transitioning out of foster care, our programs aim to serve the same youth that inspired the first Christmas Box House.

Today, we no longer go online, we live online. Throughout the day, we turn to whatever device is at hand to learn, discover, find, or buy things. These intent-rich moments are shaping our decisions and preferences. For businesses, this change in consumer behavior means infinitely more opportunities to connect with customers at the moment they're looking for what you offer. Being online can have a big impact - in fact, businesses have revenue growth 4 times as high over the last year and were 3 times as likely to have created jobs in the last year.
At Google, we see the power of the web working for American small businesses every day. Millions of small businesses are found on Google Search and Maps every single day across the nation. With a little bit of elbow grease and the help of technology, we believe every business can grow online.
In this workshop, you'll learn about how Google search works and about other free tools from Google that can help your business grow online.

Spanish Style Eating
Dear Alex,
So, you thought the only difference about eating in Spain would be the content of the dishes? Think again! Food is a culture in and of itself and so understanding the general traditions and expectations when it comes to eating in Spain will save you some embarrassment and headaches.
First things first, time and content—the typical Spanish eating schedule can be broken down roughly into this timetable:
Desayuno (breakfast—times vary, anywhere from whenever you wake up and 12 pm is acceptable):
What to expect to eat: As you will quickly notice from the average ofertas de desayuno, Spaniards consider a balanced breakfast to be a piece of toast and coffee, maybe fresh-squeezed orange juice if you're getting really fancy. You can top your tostada with a wide range of savory or sweet options and order you coffee in a variety of ways or get a tea or cola cao (hot chocolate) to spice it up. (Read more about breakfasts here.)
How to eat it: The main thing to know is that this is not a traditionally important meal and many locals will have their breakfast standing at the bar counter. Meeting for breakfast certainly happens—but more so among the guiri or older crowd. Still, you will see co-workers grabbing coffee together between 10 and 12ish because, duh!, workers get a coffee break in which they are totally allowed to go out to a café and enjoy themselves for a half hour or two…
Comida (Lunch—served between 1 and 4 pm):
What to expect to eat: This meal is the biggest of the day and could consist of an appetizer, two main courses, and dessert if you eat out or even more if you attend a Sunday meal with a Spanish family! Be prepared to be stuffed and absolutely ready to take advantage of the siesta hour!
How to eat it: This is the most important meal of the day and, unless you're in a major cosmopolitan city, you will see that most businesses, doctor's offices, everything shut down in respect for the family meal. It is expected that, as a human right, everyone should be able to go home and eat mom's home cooking—and trust me, they do! You won't believe how many 30-somethings I met who even had their own apartments, but went home every day to eat their comida at mom and dad's place, but that's another conversation.
Merienda (snack time—between 5 and 7 pm):
After that huge meal and a nap, it's only logical that Spaniards are in need of a pick-me-up coffee around this time. Even if you don't need the coffee, this is an ideal time to grab a pastry, crepe, or light snack and a cup of tea while respecting the traditional eating schedule.
Cena (dinner—typically between 9 and 11 pm):
What to expect to eat: When I first moved to Spain, I tended to eat a normal American-sized dinner but I have since come to realize that is no longer necessary for me. If I maintain the time table of my other meals, by the time dinnertime rolls around I really only want a salad or surtido (an assortment of cheese and meat that I pair with olives or hummus and picos―one of my favorite EASY, make-your-own-Spanish-style-meals-at-home options).
How to eat it: Yes, this meal is so late to us guiris, but believe me, with time you get used to it and actually love it! I've slowly grown to appreciate this later meal which can be as big or as small as you choose. Look forward to throwing together a nice assortment of cold-cuts and finger food with friends, ordering in from JustEat, or throwing back some cañas with tapas until midnight.
Well, there you have it! Of course, understanding timing and getting a general idea of what Spaniards tend to eat at these meals is just the beginning but at least it will allow you to find food on a typical schedule, rather than getting conned into tourist traps and guiri pricing because of the "unusual" timing you want to eat at. Buen Provecho!

14 Tips To Make Nail Polish Last Longer
November 18, 2017 12:17 By Fabiosa
It is kind of annoying to spend 2-3 hours on painting your nails and see your nail polish cleared and cracked the very next day. These tips are exactly for those who like ordinary nail polishes and not gel coatings. Scroll down and find out what you need to do and what you need to avoid doing if you want to have beautiful and fresh nails.
1. Don't save money when buying a nail polish
If you buy a cheap nail polish, forget about perfect manicure because your nail polish will hardly last as long as you expect. A cheap nail polish doesn't last more than one day. However, this does not mean you should use elite nail polishes. Instead, choose nail polishes that professionals use. Besides, you can listen to your friends' advice and read women's forums.

2. Take your time to do a manicure
Have you ever seen a master do a manicure at a speed just perfect for The Guinness Book of Records? Of course, you have not! Therefore, you shouldn't rush either. Manicure is a home spa procedure and meditation. Your patience will ensure your perfect manicure.
3. Do not steam the cuticles
Manicure masters generally soften the cuticles in a small bath. But this is fundamentally wrong! Because of this procedure, the nail polish is poorly fixed. There are special products that work best for the cuticles.

4. Prepare a bridgehead
- It's a myth that nail polish is fixed better on polished nails. Your nail polish removes more easily if your nails are smooth.
- Before applying your nail polish, you should use an antiseptic or salicylic alcohol instead of a nail polish remover. If you have nothing at hand, you can simply wash your hands with soap.
- Though applying a base is not mandatory, it definitely affects the longevity of the coating! If your nails are problematic, select a remedy with calcium and fucus. It will heal your damaged nails.
5. Don't shake your nail polish bottle
Instead of shaking your nail polish bottle, you'd better roll it between your palms. This will prevent your nail polish from bubbling.

6. One layer is not enough
Don't hope for a good result if you apply only one layer of nail polish. Thick brush strokes dry longer and flake off your fingernails.
7. Make pauses
After applying the first layer, you need to let it dry for 10 minutes. If you have applied the second layer before the first one has dried up, you should remove the nail polish and start over.

8. Protect your nail polish
A quality topcoat will make even the cheapest nail polish last longer. You'd better not save money when buying a top nail polish.
As an alternative, you can use a usual colorless varnish.
9. "Fix" the tips of your nails
This is a professional trick you should not forget. Fix the edges of your fingernails with a coating.
Important: You should apply 4 layers of nail polish: a base, two layers of nail polish and a top coating. This is the formula of durability.
Alexander Lukatskiy / Shutterstock.com
10. Do not dry your fingernails with a hair dryer
A hair dryer will only make things worse. You should let your nail polish dry naturally.
11. Protect your nails
Use rubber gloves when doing housework. Household chemicals and hot water are the first enemies of nail polishes.
Freer / Shutterstock.com
12. Refresh the coating
If you want your coating to last longer, you should refresh the top coating once in two days. It's far easier than painting the peeled areas. And your manicure will look as fresh as ever!
13. Lubricate your nails with oil
Water is the most dangerous enemy of your nail polish. Therefore, you should lubricate your nails with oil before taking a shower. It might seem that the oil is immediately washed off, but the fatty layer still remains on your nails and protects them from water.

14. Shine
Shine, both figuratively and literally! Glitter is a distracting maneuver when you need to cover a defect.
Follow these tips and boast of your perfect manicure!

The Sounds of Seniors
Max Maurer and Paysen Cole are the latest duo of Herron High School seniors to enter the sound cave in the morning and emerge having put some finishing touches on a piece of work. With their stealth-like skills, they have managed to elude me sitting down to interview them at the same time so consider this the first part of a two-part interview starting with Max.
Me: You're both sound interns. What are you working on? What was the inspiration?
Max: Lately I've been more enamored with the grittiness and richness that a lo-fi sound comes with so I'm starting to explore that a little more than I have in the past. A little bit ago, Paysen made me a mixtape with a lot of low-tempo, sad lo-fi songs on it; that (the tape) has motivated me to go back into the discographies of some bands I hadn't listened to in a while: Walter TV, Pill Wonder, (perhaps even a little) Dinosaur Jr. Operating within this sound-realm, we've been playing around with some more pop-sensible ideas & trying to find more creative ways to tie in the city. It's been really fun!
Me: Are you collaborating or working independently?
Max: Everything we've done has been collaborative!
Me: How has having an internship at the HCA impacted you?
Max: Being a senior in high school, it's very hard for me to find extended or reliable sections of time--between regular school work, college application work, and my job--to work on music like I had been during summers or in previous years. The internship period this year has given me a secure time slot and space to collaborate and be creative that I wouldn't have gotten otherwise. (I also made really great friend in Paysen because of the internship!)
Me: Tell me 2 things that make you laugh (like spit milk out of your nose laugh) ?
Max: I am a proud member of the Netflix generation so, naturally, two things (two shows) that make me laugh are 'Broad City' and 'Arrested Development'. :)
Keep your eyes peeled for part deux.

29 Oct Olive Green & White Kicks
Outfit Crushes: vest – Pitaya (last season), blouse – fab'rik Easton, leggings – Athleta, sneakers – Old Navy
Happy Monday, everyone! Ok I know that's not the best thing to hear, buuuuut I am in such a good mood! Midterms are over and the weather is finally starting to get cold. This is hands down my favorite time of year. Today it was a bit colder, so I decided to wear one of my favorite cold shoulder tops with a vest layered on top for some extra warmth. Olive green is one of the most flattering colors for all complexions. I swear it looks great on every hair color as well. If you don't already own an olive vest / jacket, you definitely need one for this Fall!
I decided to finish the look with some comfy black leggings from my favorite athletic brand, Athleta, and some white sneakers that I've been wearing daily nonstop! You can pick these up for under $25 at Old Navy. They come in a bunch of other colors as well. I prefer the white because they're easy to style with almost any outfit. Additionally, they run true to size, so I stuck with my regular size 8! Links are below.

The Problem
As a multidisciplined artist/teacher/creative entrepreneur, I lead a busy life and regurlarly feel stressed/overwhelmed.
The Solution
To create more relaxation and focus in my life, I created this mini meditation:
During the day, I will try to pause regurlarly, focus on my body and breath, and consciously relax.
The Experience So Far
The couple of times I did this exercise in the past, it did make a difference, so I'd love to turn it into a serious daily habit.
There are other things I'd like to implement as well, but let's start with something small and take it from there.

I agree with Warren Ellis's argument that we need violent stories in our lives. I've read in a article that 9 of 10 boys have seen pornography by the age of 18, and with an interview of a former porn star Demi Dalia stated that " The world would be a f*** up place if there wasn't porn and there would be allot of creepy people walking around ." Meaning if people are unable to fulfill their fantasies in their imagination, they would do it physically. I believe that every civilized person craves a little action, that being fulfilled by video games, novels, or even walking WWE. I get irritated with people blame the recent gun tragedies on violent video games and movies. I believe the government should stop pointing fingers and start focusing more on how these psychopaths are able to acquire these firearms. There is a quote that said "guns don't kill people, people kill people". The last time I checked for the thousands of people who owns a registered firearm for protection, their guns maybe broken. Ellis mentioned that "The most horrible things in the world, the real cancers of our society, have to be interrogated. You can't ignore a tumor. If you do, then it quickly becomes too late to do anything at all about it and you're nothing but a skinful of the stuff." Which means we should start at the source rather than the end, the real question we should be asking is that, at what point in the path is corrupted from between the gun leaving the factory to being in the hands of the criminal. Insted of botteling up their craving we should just let free into our video games and movies.

Within the next several days, we have, and are covering, the table saw, and getting cleared for use on it. However:
-The guard is busted, although it can still be moved over the blade… it just is a pain to move back and forth(not up and down.)
I said I was surprised we hadn't gotten a Saw Stop. Merely because with kids using it, there is bound to be an accident(a few years ago, the previous shop teacher took off the tip of his finger. A few years ago, another kid took off his thumb..) He said "its too expensive." I then casually said about the liability, to which he agreed.. $1m over a severed thumb is alot more than the $3k for a saw.
But the riving knife/splitter missing is a different story… Not long after the first kid did his test, he gave a demo, where he threw a piece of wood on the blade.. it nearly KOed the Router Table, not to mention would have taken another kid out, had he not been told to move less than a minute before… I mean kickback can really do damage… not to mention it can drag a helpers hand through the blade, should they get caught up on the stock… Its not a luxury, its a safety concern.
The kicker is, he forgot to tell kids its missing the knife… most assume its not supposed to be there.
Now, he did tell us, that it is an optional machine to use. If we are even a wee bit nervous, he'd rather not have us use it, since its a bad machine to make a mistake on. Only 5 of us are comfortable… and Im only okay with it, because I know that many people dont use the knife, so its not a certain injury.
But I mean seriously… can schools be that tight budgeted…?
Once I get done the safety training, Im going to ask him, if we have a knife, that can be outfitted. It is definately an OSHA violation…
On a second note: Its funny, because he said to me the other day, that I am "quick, unlike others who are extremely cautious"... Yea, I am quick, but thats because I know my actions, and unlike most teens, Think ahead to the reprocussions. Like on the band saw, I am not afraid to reach around behind the blade, or stand to the right of the saw, and guide it through..
It just pisses me off, that schools want to be cheap with our safety, and make it so everyone can pass… But safety isnt something you can skate by on… There are no consulation prizes for missing limbs…
Okay, thats my rant for the day… lol

It is the Schools and the teacher's responsibility To see that the equipment is in good safe operating condition. You should contact the local School Board, State Education Board, OSHA and possibly the State Attorney General if need be to keep others safe. The teacher evidently is negligent in his attitude towards his students safety. It sounds as though maintenance is a very low priority on the part of the school system. What we do in our own shops is one thing, but it a community type shop, safety and maintenance is vital for all users.

They aren't being cheap. They're being stupid. Good safety equipment is far cheaper than kids cutting off their fingers. Any school that can't afford a Saw Stop can't afford a wood working shop.

I wouldnt completely mark him down to "F"... probably "D", after all, he did say he would alter those tests if he could…

wow, that is super scary. How can he teach TS safety and not use a riving knife???? I think that 90% of TS safety is using the appropriate safety equipment and about 10% technique. Good on you for your own knowledge.

Shutting it down and having nothing would be better than kids cutting their fingers off. If they're cutting corners in the woodshop they're probobly doing it elsewhere too. They're better off cutting one out completely and using the funds to make something else safe.

Maybe I will do that… good idea… Ill confront him maybe Monday. I want to ask him if I can run a couple boards, for my cabinets, after school, perhaps Monday or Tuesday. Since I dont have a dado set, whereas the school does(its plywood, so its safe enough do do w/o a plate). If he says okay, then I will ask him then.
In essence: "I noticed a the TS is missing a splitter. I was wondering if perhaps we could chip n a few bucks, to get a proper safety feature. It would make it safer for us. A plug-and-play runs about $20"

AS a local school board member – I would suggest that you and your parents have a talk with the teacher and principal – be nice and just explain your safety concerns and what needs to be done to bring the machine back into specs. – if the situation continues have the same group meet with the local super. If the super blows you off – ask to be put on the school boards agenda for the NEXT meeting and plead your case to the full school board. SAFETY and liability is a big concern in school – Have the student make a full presentation to the board – HIMSELF – with his parents in attendance.

Having worked in a school for 30 years I can tell you that the money is the issue. I needed safety goggles for science class one year for a new program. I made the mistake of telling the super that it wasn't safe without the goggles. He cut the unit out of the curriculum. A response that I didn't expect.

safety is everyone's responsibility – the school, the teacher, the student. No passing the buck here.
And be a creative problem-solver ... rather than saying "the school needs to have this to make it safe …. " change it to "what can we do to make this safe?" .. that leaves the doors open to lots of options rather than it getting stopped at the "school funding".

Why not do what every other school program does when it's low on funds…. fund raiser. Heck, tell us the make and model of the saw, chances are that with 20,000 woodworkers, the knife you need is sitting unused in someones garage on a machine that doesn't work.
Getting officials involved will do little to help the program and will most likely result in the closing of yet another woodshop.
A shop built splitter, that attaches to the throat plate would be an easy and cheap fix until a riving knife is found.

Lots to comment on this topic. As a shop teacher (my 23rd year!), I can understand where both the student and the teacher are coming from. A bright student, as Newbie appears to be, would see the folly of not having proper safety equipment and the perils of "lesser talented students," that would/will be greatly in danger if they allow their focus/concentration lapse even a small bit. Tough situation to be in.
The teacher is also in a tough jam. I'll address the last item first: The safety test. I have had required safety tests with 100% correct requirements. Pure folly. In addition to keeping some kids out of the shop for 3 or 4 weeks, complete with phone calls from parents, visits by special ed teachers, meetings with adminsitrators, etc., you also have the supervisory problem of having students that passed this 100% requirement working in the shop, and the knuckleheads that couldn't get 100% (even if you read them the test and then filled in the blanks for them) "loafing" in the classroom. You think the students that don't pass the safety test are really going to study hard and get a 100% simply because they aren't working in the shop? Not the way the education system allows us to work, is it? BTW… I can write a safety test that couldn't be passed by anybody… or couldn't be failed by anybody. Safety tests are non-referenced, and therefore, not a very effective method of indicating a students' ability to be safe. It simply measures a students ability record, recall and regurgitate information in a given time frame.
All tools in my shop are optional. I cover them all (different levels of course; no use in teaching the 8th grade student the wood lathe or the shaper: they won't get to use them until they get to upper level classes!), but I let usually let a student decide the best method to achieve a desired goal (Socratic method… trying to make thinkers out of them). If a kid wants to use the backsaw/chisel method to make a joint, I'll let them (I teach them this, but it is before I get to the machine woods unit. Most kids see the efficiency of using machine tools, and choose the latter. However, some kids, even good students, don't possess the confidence or skill to feel like they are comfortable enough to operate some tools.
A riving knife is a cheap safety investment, and can be made from scrap wood. Really can't disagree with this point. No excuse to not have a splitter of some sort, whether it be a riving knife or a spiltter. The lack of such a device is simply laziness or ingnorance on the teacher's part. Of course, I don't know how many other preps the teacher has (drafting CAD mechanics welding machine shop) or other subject areas he teaches (science math PE Ag)... whether he drives a bus before/after school… or coaches three seasons (football basketball track!)... or has a second job to supplement his "hobby" known as teaching. Maybe my assessment of your teacher is a little presumptive.
Finally, the Saw Stop: pretty hard for me to walk into my Principals office and say "Mr. E: We need to spend $3500 on a new table saw." Of course, I'd justify the rationale for the purchase, try to use Federal vocational monies or State aid or a grant to get the machine purchased, but I don't know your teachers' situation. And, in my State, the State Aid per student is expected to be cut another $375 between this year and next year. It is certainly not a good time to ask for the high end stuff… My pal, the PrinciPAL, might tell me that he can't afford the program any longer, that NCLB and State Regents required coursework has squeezed him, and that I need to start looking for a new place to work.
Besides, I am pretty satisfied with the two Unisaws I currently have… guards and all!
Newbie… there really isn't a Santa Claus! And, while I certainly wouldn't do things the way your teacher is doing them, I can understand where he is coming from. I have seen a lot of things in my duration as a teacher at four different schools. Just understand that (I hope!) he is doing the best he knows how to do… or the best he can.

I am NOT taking sides with the school. BUT. That saw without the safety equipment is TEACHING you people how to be aware of what can happen.

Ultimately, a child is the parents responsibility, not some baby-sitting school. If you think the shop is unsafe…don't send your kid to that class. If you think school funds are being spent incorrectly….like the metal shop got some safety stuff but the woodshop class your kid is in is short on funds…then get political with the school…or maybe better…pay for the safety stuff yourself….then decide how affordable it is.
This is an old story, always political in nature. Our government doesn't spend our tax dollars correctly and neither does a school.
The cost of safety equipment was probably spent on something else that some other parent thought was a crime that THEIR kid wasn't getting in school.
If everybody got everything needed, then everyone would complain about how high taxes were.
If I were the teacher, I would write a letter to every parent of the kids in my classes and tell them that the course is unsafe. I would tell them that if they want their children to attend that class and be safe, then, they need to get political and have something done about it…whether it's a fund raiser (which I think would be the best deal to raise awareness of the situation) or make the school shift funds or take their kid out of the class if they didn't like it.
I think the teacher is in the worst position. The teacher is supposed to teach the class, the school is supposed to support that teacher, the teacher can't make the school do anything, but they are probably front line liable if anything happens….and they can't just quit…so rock and a hard place.
The people are paying the school to do something for their kids. I don't think it's the teachers responsibility to ensure that happens. It's their job to teach. The parents need to get the school to do something.

My stand is if a students in danger if being hurt because of an issue that the school CHOSE to iignore the district is LIABLE. As a board member I would DEMAND the problem be resolved. My guess is that the replacement parts could be ordered and that a temporary saw could be used (rented or leased from an individual or company) until the schools property was fixed. If it was a football helmet that needed replaced Im shure the school would "pounce" and purchase the required item.. If the shop teacher was guilty of using equipment that was considered "unsafe" because of neglect and a sutdent got hurt – im shure his or her job might just be in question – just my two cents worth.

As a retired "shop teacher" (34 years) and Career and Technical Education (Vocational) Administrator (6 years), I'm not sure where to start. I now make presentations to school administrators and teachers on "Shop/Lab Safety";what to teach about safety and how to teach it.
Is the problem the teacher or the school? Sounds to me like the number one problem is the teacher. He is responsible and ultimately liable for safety in his class. The school is not liable in most states; schools have sovereign immunity. However, the Superintendent and Principal do not have immunity if they are aware of of the issue.
Let's start with the safety test. A teacher that does not require 100% correct on safety test is setting himself up to loose a lawsuit. Like Uncle Salty said, a 100% passed safety test doesn't guarantee a student's safety, it just provides documentation in a lawsuit that the teacher taught the student and the student knew the rules.
Next a table saw with a guard that does not operate correctly. Maintenance of the equipment is first the responsibility of the instructor. If he is not able to make the needed repairs, he must report in writing (emails are great for this as they provide a paper trail) the issue and a recommended action. If the situation puts students at risk, the saw should be removed from service. If that means using hand or power tools, so be it. Again, the teacher is liable if he takes no action.
No dado insert. Is it missing or just not visible to Newbie? Maybe it is stored away for use as needed. Mine was. If missing, is cutting a dado without an insert dangerous?
Loose fence; a loose fence could cause a kickback. Once again a maintenance issue the teacher needs to address.
Unwaxed surfaces are probably not going to cause a safety issue. However, they do indicate an lack of maintenance on the part of the teacher. My students sanded mine with WD40 at the end of the year and waxed them twice a school year.
Now on to SawStop. I purchased five last year for my school district and budgeted for five more for this year. When those are purchased, all table saws in all the shops/labs will be SawStop. How did we pay for them? Public School Districts have access to Perkins Funds (federal money). That is what my district used, no local funds needed.
How about the kickback demo. I don't like the method. I do not think the instructor could control all the factors such as a piece of wood that might splinter apart and go in multiple directions. I used to demonstrate with a piece of Styrofoam. Got the students attention with less danger.
Now this is specifically for Newbie. I am a little concerned with your belief that you are good enough to avoid accidents ie. reaching around a bandsaw, standing on the right side. Those were all safety violations in my class and rules on my bandsaw safety test.
Your statement, "I am "quick, unlike others who are extremely cautious"… Yea, I am quick, but thats because I know my actions" worries me. My students that had similar beliefs tended to be OVERDCONFIDENT. I had a couple of students with similar beliefs that ended up getting stitches from a Doctor. Don't let your opinion of your teacher's teaching methods lead you to overestimate your abilities.
What can you do? Get your parents to schedule a meeting with the Principal. Of course that includes you as well. The principal needs to know, he/she may not be aware of the issue. If that gets no action, try the Superintendent. If that does not work, contact School Board members. 1yeldud1 is giving good advice from a school board member; especially the part about the students presenting the information. One word of caution, depending on the status of the class in the school or the school district, this could backfire and result in the program being closed. It happens! Is the easy way out for a school or a district.
One final thing, don't call OSHA, OSHA rules don't apply to public institutions like schools. I know, I tried to file a complaint when I was a teacher.

Uzo Aduba At The Pre-Emmys Party Showed Off Some Very Sane, Very Attainable Style — Get The Look In 4 Simple Steps
She may play a character called Crazy Eyes on Orange is The New Black, but Uzo Aduba is more idiosyncratically elegant than insane in real life. If the Emmy-winning actress' talent and work ethic are any indication, Aduba deserves every ounce of recognition she receives. After all, anyone who has been told they need to cosmetically enhance themselves to achieve success and told their critics to bugger off earns a special gold star in my book.
The breakout star isn't just a beacon onscreen, however; she shines just as brightly when striding down the red carpet. Lo and behold, an actress who plays a somewhat uncouth prisoner favors the most ladylike shifts and striking yet timeless accessories. From statement gowns in a rainbow of bold hues to demure Jackie O-esque dresses, Aduba loves to impress upon her public just how much of a style savant she truly is. For the Entertainment Weekly pre-Emmy shindig, the star selected an artistic knee-length shift dress in a modern, black-and-white-checkered pattern paired with patent red pointy toe pumps and a glamorous box clutch. So if you're looking for your next great ensemble that toes the line between ladies who lunch and ladies who enjoy a good brawl, here are Aduba's four essential pieces.
Take Aduba's look into fall by trying a windowpane-patterned dress with long sleeves as opposed to short. Ali Ro's Long Sleeve Windowpane Print Dress is the ideal union of comfort, style, and warmth for chilly autumn days.
Who doesn't love a streamlined red heel? Nine West's Martina Pointy Toe Pumps replicate Aduba's sleek pumps, with a significantly reduced price tag.
Add a little edge to your ensemble with a black studded clutch like Diane von Furstenburg's Tonda Studded Leather Clutch.
Aduba's charismatic smile gives the ensemble extra sparkle. Enhance your own grin with Bobbi Brown's Lipgloss in Nude Pink
