Career Vocational Programming for the Severely Handicapped Individual.
Stodden, Robert A.
The paper reviews problems in the sheltered workshop concept and proposes a change of focus in the provision of occupational life preparatory services for individuals with severe disabilities. Among problems cited are a lack of efficient production and training technologies, a lack of trained community placement personnel, and a general lack of tasks or activities for work. In addition, the paper asserts that sheltered workshops have not placed enough emphasis on competitive employment nor have they expressed much interest in working with severely disabled persons. A transition approach is advocated which defines environmentally based programming on a cluster analysis of actual work roles. Such an approach produces outcomes in career development, (including awareness, exploration, and self assessment), prevocational areas (such as work habits and employability skills), and vocational areas (work skills and behavior).

How to Use Accent Walls to Make Your Rooms Interesting
If you're looking for a simple way to make an area of your home look more unique, having a feature wall can do exactly that. Using a bold colour, creating a collage of different photos, or having fun with other décor elements can add character to your wall and transform the look of your entire space. And the best part is, you can do this in any room of your home and change it up when you get tired of how it looks. Learn how to use accent walls to make your rooms stand out by considering some of these simple tips.
Choose a Colour That Will Stand Out
Start to think about the design of the wall before jumping in. Remember, you want the wall to stand out, but not to the extent that it looks lost. So whatever you choose, it's usually wise to stick with a bold or darker tone colour that relates to your surrounding wall colour to really captivate the eyes and work with the rest of the room.
Think Outside of the Box
Think outside of the box when it comes to creating your accent walls. Instead of a standard colour, you could also create a striped wall, or use specialty paint like metallic, which is becoming increasingly popular among designers. Wallpaper is another great option to consider for adding some fresh, unique design elements and patterns to the space.
Match With Accent Features
If you're struggling to decide on what to put on your walls, look around at the accent features throughout your room. You can often get inspiration by picking up on your accent colours that are splashed throughout your cushions, rugs, and other décor pieces. This is a great way to find the perfect tone that will tie in nicely with your entire room.
Choose the Right Wall
Choosing the right accent wall is another important component for making your room look interesting. Selecting a wall that's out of sight and bare of any architectural features can make your efforts look pretty ineffective when it's complete. Good options for this usually include the wall above a fireplace, a wall behind the bed, or a wall that's in the middle of your living room directly behind your couch. Stick to walls that are more centrally located in a room, and that already have some feature that draws your attention.
You can easily spice up the look of any room in your home and anchor a bare looking space by simply creating unique accent walls. They're the perfect spot to experiment with fun, bold colours, textures, patterns and more.

Last week's numbers on our Canadian broadcasters' minuscule Drama spend in favor of imported shows and cheaply made non-drama programs as well as their increasingly privileged and protected position within our industry, got me thinking about an extremely wealthy producer for whom I once worked.
He went on a rant the day the government extended some media tax benefit to American Studios bringing their productions here. Bad enough he had to hire Canadians to get content points, but now his tax money was being used to fund the competition.
It's never fun when what goes around, comes around. As the quality of online content increases, there's no doubt it'll soon come around for our library bereft Canadian broadcasters.

By the results of the first half of 2014, fund "OTP Valutniy" became the best mutual fund in Ukraine by return with 55.70% yield in six months, according to the rating of «Investfunds.ua» information portal. Another fund managed by "OTP Capital" – "OTP Equity Fund" – took 5th place in the rating with 32.79% yield in six months.
Assets of "OTP Valutniy" are placed only in foreign currency fixed-income instruments, government bonds and bank deposits, which ensures the safety of savings in case of exchange rate decline and enables clients to receive higher yield than on foreign currency bank deposits. Thus, the fund not only protected the customers from the devaluation, which amounted 48%, but also earned 5.3% in USD (10.9% annual return) YTD.
"OTP Equity Fund" invests most of its assets into the shares of Ukrainian companies. Using the equity market recovery, fund received high return for its investors. This fund also provides customers with absolute liquidity – they can withdraw money any day.
"We are pleased that two of our funds are in the top five, and "OTP Valutniy" is the leader of the rating. This fund has been created to protect client money from devaluation and perfectly fulfilled its mission. Even without taking into account its important function of currency risk hedging, its 10-11% yield in USD is also quite interesting. "OTP Equity Fund" aims to generate income on the growth of the stock market and this what is happening since February. Despite the difficult situation in the east of Ukraine, where are many companies, placing its shares on the stock market, I consider such an investment risky, but potentially very profitable instrument. As soon as the situation will be stabilized, we will see even more growth. Therefore, one should not miss this opportunity to invest right now, at the low price" – said Taras Yeleyko, Head of Investment Department of "OTP Capital".
Asset management company OTP Capital was established in July 2007 and became the second after OTP Bank representative of OTP Group in Ukraine. The company provides a wide range of high quality investment services to both corporate clients and individuals and is one of the leaders of the collective investments market. Under the management of AMC OTP Capital are 7 public mutual funds, 4 venture funds and non-government pension fund. Total assets under management as of 31.03.2014 amount to UAH 187.74 mln.
Public joint stock company OTP Bank is one of the largest domestic banks, a recognized leader in the financial sector of Ukraine. The Bank provides a full range of financial services to corporate and private customers, as well as to small and medium enterprises. The Bank entered the Ukrainian market in 1998, and since then it enjoys a staunch reputation of socially responsible, reliable and stable institution providing its consumers with services of European quality standard. Its absolute owner is the largest Hungarian Bank OTP Bank Plc.

Supply Chain Solutions No.9 – Reviewing Supplier Samples
Before you visit a new vendor to assess their capabilities, receiving samples of their previous production will give you the opportunity to examine their quality, manufacturing technique, expertise and innovation.
QA versus QC, which one suits your business?
Do you know what the differencebetween a QA and a QC is, how often have I heard business associates talking about quality needs and randomly stating QA or QC but not knowing the scope of the acronym?
Fabric Inspection – Are you performing a 4 point inspection?
Ask a soft goods manufacturer what do they do when they receive the fabric? You will be surprised how many will say we check the roll length and the usable width to ensure we received what we paid for. Yes, this is fair enough but it is not the answer I am looking for, I want to know the quality level received is acceptable.
Do only China factories produce bad quality?
How often have I heard, "China factories produce bad quality" or "I didn't get what I wanted from China". I think we have all heard this expressed, or know someone who has first-hand experience.

A plastic surgeon is giving women a 24 hour boob job - by injecting SALT into their breasts.
New York-based Dr Norman Rowe discovered that introducing a saline-based solution into a patient's chest allowed her to experience what having a bigger bosom would both look and feel like.
"It just gives volume," said Dr Rowe.
"The 24-hour time frame shows patients what they're going to look like but also what the added weight would feel like."
Patient Angie Diaz, 24, timed her procedure to coincide with her boyfriend's birthday so she could wear a particularly sexy dress.
"He was so confused and shocked at the difference," she said.
"He loved it."
She added: "I was beyond shocked with the results.
"It really looked like I had a breast augmentation in just 30 minutes."
The injections cost $2,500 (£1,600).
However, this can be used towards the total if the patient decides to go through with the full boob job, which starts at around $10,000 (£6,392).
Over time, the saline solution is absorbed into the bloodstream harmlessly, Rowe said.

What we're eating this week...We grilled a bunch of chicken for our families on Sunday so we had chicken fajitas last night, chicken/strawberry/spinach salad tonight, something else with chicken tomorrow night and then we are both out of town the rest of the week!
What I'm reminiscing about... With our family vacation coming up I've been thinking about all our family summer beach trips over the years. We haven't been as a family to the beach in the summer in I can't even remember how many years. With Bonnie in college, then me in college, and now the twins in college we just haven't had a summer where we had a week to go to the beach all together. (this beach trip is a hodge-podge anyway because James/Tommy can't come until Wednesday night). The beach is our favorite place to go and I've just been thinking about all the good times we have had over the years.
What I'm loving...Not working and spending time with Collier. I'm on my third week of watching my nephew and we have had so much fun. It's truly amazing how fast they change. Since he's been coming to me he's learned to roll over from his tummy to his back, had to wean him off his swaddle for sleeping, and is alllll about smiling. I'm just waiting for the laugh to come with the smile. 3 weeks ago he would do a side smile but now he has a FULL mouth smile that just melts you.
What we've been up to...June has been a busy month for the Robinsons! We had a couples shower for our friends, Drew and Caroline; a cookout at the Mitchler's house, mixed doubles matches, going away party for Kier and Tom; tennis team cookout; Father's Day; pool days; and for Tommy lots of golf. It's been a great month with lots of summer activities (and HOT weather!).
What I'm dreading...Having to go back on a schedule in July. I know I know I still have 5 weeks of summer break left but as soon as July hits I'm reminded that I go back to work that month.
What I'm working on...My "The Best Yes" summer bible study series. I have been to two sessions at Peachtree and have really enjoyed the study and conversation. I also have been working on a lot of monogramming for a friend on my tennis team. She's getting married in December and I'm doing 60 blankets for her! Here is their design.
What I'm excited about...Going away for 9 days to Charleston and North Litchfield! I am excited to spend time with my family for more than just a meal. I'm excited to celebrate my Nana's 80th birthday. I'm just excited!!!! BEACH
What I'm watching/reading...Ok so summer seems to lead me to binge watch netflix, but this week I decided to re-watch a show I've already seen so many times and own all the DVDs but it's a goody...Brothers and Sisters. Last week I read, The Girl on The Train in three days. It was fantastic! Now I'm reading, The Substitute, and so far so good. Going to load up on some more reads before hitting the beach!
What I'm listening to...Honestly haven't been listening to too much music b/c a)haven't really been driving since I've been watching Collier and b)when I go to the pool and such I read rather than listen to music.
What I'm wearing... These shorts I bought a few months ago have been my favorite lately! They are currently 50% off at the LOFT. So comfy and can be dressed up or down.
What I'm doing this weekend...I leave Thursday morning to spend a day/night with my sister-in-law, Beth, at her house in Mount Pleasant. Then I am meeting up with friends on Friday on Isle of Palms for my friend's, Caroline, bachelorette weekend. We are staying at the beach but going into Charleston for dinner on Saturday. I am really excited! I've known Caroline since Freshman year of college. We lived together in the sorority house. She is marrying one of Tommy's oldest friends and my friend since High School, Drew. Tommy is going to Florida this weekend on Drew's bachelor party. So fun when your friends marry your husband's friends. Make life much easier! We are lucky enough to have that same situation a few times over. Both parties win!
What I'm looking forward to next month...What I'm most excited about in July is finally taking our anniversary trip to Seattle and Portland! We booked our places to stay and have been given so many recommendations. The more the recommendations the better so if you have an idea please share! We are staying in Seattle for 2 nights and Portland for 3. We can't wait to get away with just the two of us and to places neither of us have been. It's going to be wonderful! We are going from July 17-21.
What else is new...My school has hired a new principal. I am meeting with him in July to discuss my new job title. He seems very nice and energetic. I'm looking forward to hearing what he wants to bring to Lake Forest in the coming years!
What I'm doing for the Fourth of July...Since our beach house rental was from Saturday to Saturday and the 4th is on a Saturday we were going to have to just come home on the 4th. We are now going to stop back by Charleston on the way home from the beach to stay with Beth for the night and see what Charleston has to offer for the 4th. His sister is coming to Atlanta to run the Peachtree but wanted to go back to Charleston for the night because it's her first year in Charleston and she wanted to experience the 4th there. Major Win for us! We get to break the drive up and get to spend another day at the beach!
Lots of fun stuff coming our way in the coming weeks! Happy Wednesday!

'Crying berry' or 'water shedding berry' refers to acai berry which gets its name owing to the property of shedding water from it. This berry is an inherent species of palm tree which finds its origin in Portugal where it is extensively grown, apart from other parts of the world, including Brazilian Amazon forests, Trinidad and South America. The scientific name given to this berry is 'Euterpe Oleracea'.
Acai berries grow on palms that are found mostly in swampy regions and floodplains. The acai trees are tall and slender that attain a height up to or more than 25 meters and the leaves could grow up to 3 meters in length. The fruit, i.e. acai berry is small (about 25 mm) and round, which displays a blackish-purple tint, identical to a grape, but growing in a cluster which have up to 900 fruits. Earlier, men used to cut the branches of acai tree to harvest the ripe fruits which were less in grown number. Nowadays, it is mass produced and after harvesting, it is quickly loaded into the baskets and boats. It is believed that these fruits have only a day's life in which the properties of the juice are still viable.
The demand for acai berry is booming owing to the medicinal properties it is said to possess. A study conducted shows a fact that this fruit is a major constituent of the food of 'Caboclo community' in the Brazilian Amazon. Their diet consists of about 42% of these fruit and fruit-products. They also smash it to convert it to a globally drunk wine.
Acai berry has tremendous health properties and is believed to be the richest source of antioxidants. These antioxidants are said to impart great immunity to our body protecting it from various inimical diseases. It is an innate cholesterol controller, which reduces the bad cholesterol and increases the good one. It also fights infection, is marvelous for heart and is a source for great energy. It is also said to be a natural health supplement. Apart from health properties, these berries are also used in preparation of foods and beverages and other forms such as dry acai fruits and acai pills etc.
The process of juice extraction of the acai berries constitutes the following steps:
- The acai berries are harvested and brought to the factories
- Here the pulp of the fruit is separated from the seed. The seed makes up about 80% of the fruit area.
- The separated pulp is soaked in water which may contain a small portion of sodium hypochloride.
- The extract is strained and kept at a temperature ranging from 3 to 4o
- These are then packed and sold fresh, frozen or pasteurized form.
In the manner described above we ought to get pure acai berry juice which is also called as miracle berry. This berry has the property of energizing you instantly when you are in need of it. Why not care for some of these fruits if you could extract the qualities of high-carat diamonds from the fruits as small as pearls.

From: Simon Stoddart, Queens Road, Hastings
I exchanged emails with ESCC around a year ago regarding the final bit of the Hastings Bexhill Link Road, connecting Queensway with Sedlescombe Road North.
I can't find those emails but am reasonably sure I was told the road should've been scheduled for completion in March 2017 but was thought to be running a couple of months late.
The end of 2017 is nigh and there is still no sign whatsoever of this road being finished and the interminable delays and snarl ups on Ridge West are just that – interminable.
Does anybody at ESCC have any idea of what it's like for road users in Hastings who have The Ridge West area inflicted upon them with some quite appalling jams from five directions – Ridge Eastwards, Ridge Westwards, Junction Road, Maplehurst Road and Harrow Lane.
Any news at all as to when the new road will be completed?
And talking of jams – that decision by someone to shut St Helens Road for nine weeks – presumably to effect repairs caused by several years of no maintenance.
Once again, does anybody at ESCC connected with this decision have the remotest idea of the hassle caused to road users in Hastings?
It rubbed salt in the wound recently to find The Green in St Leonards at a stand all the way to already very busy Silverhill because of four way controlled temporary traffic lights for road works.
I accept that there will be occasions when such work has to be done at short notice – but it looked to me as best I could see that no work had taken place at the time and that all the lights and barriers had been put up for the convenience of the contractors who, presumably, were starting work the next day.
No thought once again for the tax paying road user who, at the end of the day, is paying for this shambles.

Last night, my screenwriting class workshopped my latest seventeen pages, a sort of Act II, Part One. I received plenty of notes, but not nearly as many positive notes as I wanted or thought would come my way. In fact, I admit my pages weren't particularly well-received.
Which is a nice way of saying I bombed.
Much of what made the first act work for my classmates was how action and dialogue worked in-tandem. Picture Action, cool and confident, in the driver's seat of the Scriptmobile. Next to him is his partner, Dialogue, smart and able, assisting Action with navigation directions. The pair work in perfect unison as a team, as partners. In these new pages, however, Dialogue has throatpunched Action and thrown him in the backseat. Dialogue has slid into the driver's seat of the Scriptmobile and hit the gas, spewing as much vocabulary across the road of paper as it can, all the while laughing at the incapacitated Action. The new pages are dialogue-heavy, action-light, and have lost what made the first pages my class workshopped so enjoyable to read.
This leaves me with two choices:
1. Despise my classmates, loathe the workshop, and keep my golden pages because I put a lot of work into them and if I put in a solid amount of work they must be good, so what do they know?!
2. Embrace the challenge of rewrite, give these peer thoughts proper attention, make a plan of action and fix what needs fixing, all the while pursuing new work.
If I'm not taking the second choice, I have no business being in a writing workshop, giving anyone notes on their writing, or writing at all. I'm learning to write for an audience. I'm learning to create good story. I'm learning to improve. Part of the learning process is understanding when something needs more work, and I'm on board with that concept. For me, these pages didn't fail if they taught me a lesson (my class is 100% right, by the way), and I'm embracing the challenge I've created for myself.

Tips for first- time home buyers in tight economic times
A home is a basic need we all crave to own. We all envy to have a home before our heads turn grey.Acquiring a home is the most important thing one aspires to have after getting a job. In order to make this dream of having a home come true,apply for a mortgage as soon as one gets permanent employment or a continuous source of income.Don't wait to buy a house until you have a family.It is good to climb the housing ladder when one is still young and single.
Get a mortgage you are comfortable to pay back. Don't rush to buy a house beyond your means.Scout around for the house which suits your budget.It is sensible to talk to housing agencies.They can help you to have informed decisions. They have been in business, they know it all. Aim to buy a house in localities you are familiar with. Makesure the house is near amenities such as hospitals, roads, schools, transport and shops.Make your own research to find whether the area is a crime free area. One doesn't want to buy a house in an area which is a haven for criminals.
The nearer the amenities the less fuel you will need to ply the area.A new buyer should aim to buy a house which is environmental friendly.Aim to buy a house which uses both solar and electricity, borehall water and tapped water this will go a long way in cutting your electric bills and water bills.Makesure the house is built from materials which are sourced locally and are environmental friendly. Locally sourced materials are superb because when you need to repair or refurbish the house in future,the material would be sourced locally.
Makesure your dream house you want to buy suits your needs.Buy a house with deeds because you can use the title deeds as collateral for other deals in future.Don't buy a house which cannot get a buyer in future when you think of selling it.
If money is tight first-time buyers might opt to buy incomplete houses. These are affordable and you can slowly put final touches on them at your own pace.What is important is to climb the property ladder? The houses can be renovated gradually as long as there is a roof over one's head.Home sweet home, why the wait start planning to buy yours now.

Our Lenten journey continues as Jesus in confronted by a group of Pharisees. Luke's gospel provides a reminder of the danger that Jesus faced and of the wonderful promise we find in the resurrection.
A Conspiracy

Text: Luke 13: 31-35
I enjoy reading the occasional mystery or thriller novel. Reading along, discovering clues and making guesses as to 'whodunnit'. I imagine that writing such a novel must be a complicated affair. You would need to first figure out exactly who committed what crime. Then you would need to develop clues which the protagonist would be able to discover throughout the course of the novel.
The challenge as I see it is to not be too obvious when developing these clues. After all you don't want the reader to discover who did it too soon. Better that the reader is left guessing wondering who amongst a multitude of characters is the guilty party.
What I truly enjoy in these types of books is when the antagonist is secretly aligned with a larger organization. Where we might see a conspiracy at works. Not only do we discover who did it, but perhaps we also learn that there is an organization or another individual who is orchestrating events. This is something that the James Bond film franchise has done over its lifetime. In the recent film Spectre we see this shadowy syndicate again as it tries to manipulate world events.
Of course in the world today we have those who believe that certain powers, organizations and corporations have secret agenda's that they try to enact. Whether this is a multi-media company like Disney, some shadowy group named the Illuminati or the very real Bilderberg Group, some people just like to believe that there is some secret power which is really pulling all the strings.
It happens doesn't it? Someone gets in cahoots with someone else and before you know it a little conspiracy is born. It is with this edge of suspicion that I would like us to approach our gospel reading this morning. The Pharisees, you remember them, they have been critical of Jesus at every step. It will be the Pharisees who see to it that Jesus is brought up on charges, arrested and executed. Well today these very same Pharisees have decided to come and warn Jesus.
"Get away from here, for Herod wants to kill you."
Now I don't know about you, but if I heard that someone was looking to kill me I might very well get out of town. I'd lie low for a bit.
Not Jesus. Nope, Jesus doesn't decide to get out of dodge. In fact Jesus sees right through it. I mean Herod might want to kill Jesus, he did have John the Baptist executed. And while he might have been tricked into that decision let's not think that Herod wouldn't want this troublesome prophet named Jesus out of the way.
Herod has cast a shadow over the life of Jesus, but for the most part he is a far away threat. It is Jesus' reply to the Pharisees which is interesting. He says, "Go and tell that fox for me…" In uttering this words Jesus does two things. First he indicates his utter contempt for Herod who only rules because the Emperor in Rome has placed him in power.
Second, he catches the Pharisees in their ploy. How did they know that Herod wanted him killed?
Are they in cahoots with Herod? If so, what are the leaders of the temple of Jerusalem doing having conversations with the puppet king the Romans have put in power? Jesus sees all of this. He sees right through the Pharisees.
Jesus continues, "I am casting out demons and performing cures today and tomorrow, and on the third day I finish my work." Now this and the following statement may seem odd. It is a weird way to talk about the passing of time and a journey which is to be made. On first glance we might think this is one of those instances where the Greek language doesn't translate to English very well.
However, theologian NT Wright explains it as follows, "What matters is that Jesus has a destiny to fulfil … It consists, in picture-language of two days' work and one day's completion. Two days to cast our demons and cure illnesses; 'and I shall be finished on the third day.' No careful reader of Luke's gospel could miss the echoes, backwards and forwards: to the boy Jesus, found on the third day in the Temple; to the risen Jesus, alive again on the third day."
What is the destiny that Wright is referring to? Well it is to go to Jerusalem and die. Jesus knows he must go to Jerusalem, that he will die at Jerusalem. So he tells the Pharisees, go back to your master. I know where I must go, I know what will happen.
Jesus sees through the conspiracy, knows in fact that it must happen. That he must travel to Jerusalem the city which kills its prophets because the people so often do not want to hear the truth which is embedded in God's message. Today we are no different than those people living in Jerusalem at the time of Jesus. Very often we do not want to hear the truth of what God's message is.
We don't like to be chastised, we don't like to be told we are doing things wrong. So Jesus goes willingly into a place where he knows he will not be welcomed. Jesus is going to Jerusalem where he will preach a message that the ruling elite do not want to hear. Not only do they not want to hear it, they don't want anyone else too either. Jerusalem is a place where Jesus will face not just bodily harm, but death.
It is then that Jesus utters the wonderful words, "Jerusalem, how often I have desired to gather your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing." It is an interesting statement and image for many reasons.
First a natural predator of the hen is the fox. Jesus names Herod as a fox, foreshadowing that yes Jesus will die at the hands of those who feared the message he was preaching. Then we have the image of Jesus as the hen protecting its brood. It is interesting for several reasons, first it is a maternal image. The hen is female, but most importantly this image illustrates exactly what Jesus does for us. When Jesus is charged and crucified, his arms are extended on that cross. Under those arms all of creation is protected. Jesus gathers us up under his arms and dies a death so that we can be redeemed and restored. Jesus knew he was going to die and he knew what his death would accomplish.
He wishes that Jerusalem would repent. That Jerusalem would see the error of its ways. That Jerusalem would turn once again towards God and to prepare the work of the kingdom. But, Jesus recognized that this was not going to happen. So Jesus goes to Jerusalem to fulfil his destiny.
Jesus goes to Jerusalem to take on the full force of the disaster which he has predicted. He goes to take the brunt of our sins, he pays the price for our transgressions. Jesus takes us under his arms and the one pays the price for the many.
A reminder to walk in the ways of Christ. To heed God's call to justice, righteousness, grace and mercy for all people. A reminder that when we fail in that calling and we will from time to time fail, that Jesus is there sustaining all of us. That Jesus walks not only with us, but also with those that we have let down. A sobering reminder of how deeply and fully the grace of God extends. Amen.

Since I've been gone for far too long, I thought I'd give you guys a quick update on my literary life.
Over the past few weeks, I have fallen head-over-heels in love with comic books. It's not the first time I've meandered into the graphic novel genre, but it's the first time I've spent the majority of my spending cash on piles of graphic novels, and hunkering down for hours on end to read them. But, as some of you may know, I read quite a bit on my commute to and from work, and holding up a large graphic novel while being squeezed into a subway car like a sardine, is difficult. So I tend to save my comic book adventures for my couch.
In between the devouring of the Locke and Key series by Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez and the Saga series by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples, I have been trying to read a multitude of things, but with no luck. I've been flitting back and forth between Vicious by Victoria Schwab and How to Fall in Love by Cecelia Ahern, without getting sucked into either. I refuse to give up, as I asked a friend and coworker for Vicious, and want to finish it for that reason, and that reason alone. And Cecelia, well, if you know me, you know that her and I have an up and down relationship. This new book is, sadly, a down.
On the side, I have been tempted to start a number of different books, but keep telling myself to refrain. Today, in honour of the winter season, I finally bought myself Let It Snow by John Green, Maureen Johnson and Lauren Myracle. I remember almost buying it last year but then deciding not to for who knows why. This year, I could use a little light and fluffy (no pun intended) romance. I bought the book on my lunch and proceeded to sneak about 10 pages in between passers-by at my cubicle. I have a feeling I'm going to like this one!
Other than that, not much has changed for me. I am aiming to break my Curse of Four this month! I have determined that this Curse of Four afflicts me monthly. The curse claims that I will only finish four books in a month. Somehow, four has always been my magic number and one I am very excited to break. I want to read 5, or even *gasp* SIX! This month, I feel like I'm cheating a bit because I've been overdosing on comics, but my goal of more than four novels persists! Seeing as it is almost 2/3 of the way through November and I've only finished one book thus far (and three graphic novels), I may not reach my goal just yet. But soon!
What are you guys all reading these days? Do you have any numbered curses? Let me know!

Baked Namak Para
Namak Para are crunchy deep fried squares/diamond shaped crackers from India. It is prepared with all-purpose flour and/or wheat flour, lightly seasoned with cumin or caroms seeds. Deep fried food is always tasty but I usually avoid making it at home.
Over a year ago when Suma posted a baked version of these deep fried snack, I bookmarked the recipe. I finally made it past weekend for this week's theme. These crackers are bit on the salty side and flavored with spice(s).
I wonder how these would taste with a pinch of chili powder and that is to be tried the next time I bake these. These crackers make a good teatime snack or a snack to munch on watching TV or reading a book. Though the crackers are called namak para, the baked version does not exactly taste like the deep fried ones. To me these tasted more like the saltine cookies. I am happy with this baked version as long as it does not require deep frying and my apartment does have the deep fried oily odor for hours, despite leaving the windows open.
Source: Suma
Total Time: 40 – 50 minutes
Preparation: 10 – 15 minutes
Rest Time: 15 minutes
Bake Time: 15 – 20 minutes
Yields: 24 – 30
- 64 grams (½ cup) All-Purpose Flour
- 64 grams (½ cup) Wheat Flour / Atta
- ¾ tsp. Salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ tsp. Baking Powder
- 1 tsp. coarsely crushed Cumin (opt)
- 1 tbsp. White Sesame Seeds (opt)
- 3 tbsp. Butter, softened or Ghee (I used butter and melted it in microwave for 30 seconds. Can use half oil & butter)
- 5-6 tbsp. cold Water (I used 4 tbsp.)
- Mix together flours, salt, baking powder, sesame seeds, cumin in a bowl.
- Add butter and rub it into the flour with finger tips.
- Add water and form stiff dough.
- Let it rest for 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400F. Grease a baking sheet and dust it with flour.
- Dust the rolling surface with flour and roll out the dough into ¼" thick disc and cut it into squares or diamonds. Collect the scrapes and repeat the process again. I divided the dough into two balls and then rolled it.
- Transfer the squares to the baking sheet. Prick the squares with a fork and bake for 15 – 20 minutes. Mine were done in 15 minutes and 10 minutes into baking, I flipped the squares for even baking.
- Cool on a wire rack and store in an airtight container.
- Salt – Adjust salt to taste. I found it a bit on the saltier side but not very salty that it cannot be eaten. Also, make sure to mix the dry ingredients well so the salt is evenly mixed with the flour.

Yesterday was the day after my nose piercing with a stud. I accidentally scratched my nose and the stud flew out. I immediately doused it with alcohol and polysporin spray, washed my hands very well and proceeded to get it back in with some difficulty and pain. I had an idea and put a rubber earring back on the inside, after sterilizing it too. My nose is swollen and very sore after the abuse I gave it. Is it OK to use this backing? I was thinking of leaving it on while I gave my nose a rest. Should I soak it in warm salt water? I think it's sore because of the frantic events, but what are the first signs of infection?

Belarus-Turkey agreement on visa-free travels in for ratification on 24 October
MINSK, 23 October (BelTA) – The House of Representatives of the National Assembly of Belarus plans to discuss passing the bill on ratifying the Belarusian-Turkish intergovernmental agreement on lifting visa requirements at the next session on 24 October, the press service of the lower chamber of the Belarus parliament told BelTA.
The agreement will enable Belarus citizens to stay in Turkey for up to 30 days without visas as from the date of entry. Within one year Belarusians will be able to enter Turkey without needing visas but the total duration of their stay cannot exceed 90 days.
Owners of diplomatic passports, service ones and social ones, who are assigned to work in diplomatic representative offices, consular institutions or representative offices of international organizations located in one of the two countries will be free to enter, leave, and transit the countries without visas for the entire duration of their assignment.
However, the agreement will be bundled with some restrictions. Visa-free travels will not be available for work purposes (except for transporting passengers and cargoes), for education trips, research ones, the reunion of families and for residence. Citizens of Turkey and Belarus will be granted visa-free travels for the sake of holding business negotiations.
However, for the visa-free travels to become available, the Belarus-Turkey agreement on readmission has to be ratified first. The House of Representatives of the National Assembly intends to pass the relevant bill, too, but no precise date has been voiced so far.
Apart from that, the 24 October session is also supposed to pass amendments to the laws on bankruptcy, on natural monopolies, on occupational therapy detox centers, and other ones. In addition to the agreement with Turkey the parliament is also supposed to ratify other documents, including an agreement with Indonesia on cooperation in defense industry. Amendments to the law on population register will be given the second reading.
Arranging parliamentary debates for improving education laws will be a separate item on the agenda.

The scale that is! Yippee!!!
I mostly credit the tracking of everything I eat. By writing down everything I am more mindful of what I am doing. Also, because I am forcing myself to write it down I am finding that two things are happening:
1- I realize most of the time when I eat something bad it is not nearly as bad as I thought it was
2- Allows (or forces) me to get right back on track, not the next day or week, but the next minute
I am sure that drinking eight 8-ounce glasses of water and getting a little more activity has helped also.
I lost 4.4 lbs this week for a total of 20 lbs!
Very excited! And very motivated!
What tricks help you stay on track and motivated to eat properly?
PSA of the Day…if you bite it, you write it!

Marty's photo of the day #1766: It's "CC, HP: ESC Month," featuring photos and excerpts from my first book, Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring the Seven Continents. Today's photo is from Zimbabwe, and the below excerpt from my book tells the story of the shot:
"Lions!" announced Humphrey in a hushed shout.
Everyone wanted to see lions. If we could have bellowed out a loud cheer without alarming them, we would have. Instead, we pulled ashore with quiet whispers of excitement.
The channel arced like the letter C, with the lions on a small hill at the top of the letter and us on the far bank at the bottom of the letter. In the middle of the C was a sixty-foot-wide field of scrubby vegetation. Brian had warned us that lions usually take off as soon as they see people, so we were surprised when they ignored us.
The reason for our good fortune was that they were stalking a Cape buffalo. We counted seven lions in the hunting party (all females), and as the drama unfolded, the buffalo quickly gained the advantage. First, the buffalo crossed a side channel. When the lionesses followed, they had to make a hasty retreat to avoid a crocodile. Moments later, a second buffalo stepped into view to join the first one. Eventually some of the lions crossed the channel, but for the time being they were unwilling to move in for the kill.
After watching the standoff for a while, we returned to our canoes. The course of the river took us directly past the animals. Six of the lions disappeared from sight before we drifted by. The youngest, however, didn't have the hiding skills of the others and "hid" by crouching behind a tiny clump of grass. I'm not sure if she truly believed we couldn't see her, but her pose was perfect for some humorous pictures.

There are so many animals where I live 100's of different kinds of Moths. 1.5metre Goanna's. Wallabies, Bush Turkey's, Bush rats, Foxes, Hawks, frogs and lots of Spiders. Not everyones idea of Paradise. You'll find me most days photographing something.
them for about 2 months in their Adult form as we see them here, before they die. The heart position they are in is called the wheel position (even Dragonfly's have position names)
I followed these 2 around for about 10minutes. They flew around connected like this for at lease 20minutes. As they landed I managed to get very close to them to photograph them. They seemed oblivious to my presence. The male will stay connected to the female until she lays her eggs and in some cases just so she will not mate again. Poor girl she only has a 2 month window.

Ibiza Parasailing Experience with Morning or Sunset Options
Choose from a morning or sunset departure, then meet your parasailing instructor at the prearranged location at San Antonio Marina Port. Head to your speedboat and greet the professional skipper before finding yourself a spot on deck.Relax in the sun and tap your feet to the onboard music as your boat speeds away from land and out onto the open waters of the Mediterranean Sea. When the time comes, let your instructor know if you want to enjoy your parasailing session solo, or if you want to hit the skies with a friend or group.

As one reviewer once observed 'being the best 5-string banjo player in the UK must be rather like being the foremost 'fast-bowler' in Virginia'. Leon Hunt has, for more than a decade, continued to confound that notion (and the many stereotypes that attempt to confine the 5-string banjo to Bluegrass music) by making his living playing alongside some of the world's top musicians from a number of musical styles, backgrounds and disciplines.
Since graduating from his 'Music and Music Technology' degree in 2000 Leon has taken part in numerous notable 'transatlantic' recordings; Miles Apart (2004) Shuttle Diplomacy (2008) and Fishing Music (2009). These projects have included some of the biggest names in American traditional music; Viktor Krauss, Tim O'Brien, Stuart Duncan, David Grier and Matt Flinner to name a few.
Beyond proving his Bluegrass credentials, Leon has also found himself in a diverse array of other musical settings; occasional live and/or recorded collaborations with Irish traditional music's Michael McGoldrick, Lunasa and Flook, African Kora virtuoso, Sekou Kieta, and English Folk royaltly, Kate Rusby and Seth Lakeman.
Leon has also enjoyed being part of several major theatre productions for The Royal Shakespeare Company, Birmingham Rep, and The New Vic (search the web hard enough and you'll find a very funny picture of him in a powdered wig and tights!!!)
If all of the above name dropping means nothing to you then we'll have to resort to Anchor Butter's major TV advertising campaign (the series of commercials with the fuzzy felt cows), that was Leon too!

Oil erased early gains and turned negative in late afternoon trade as the dollar rose, extending Thursday's shock-inducing collapse, when Brent fell as much as $12, a record, in a furious, high-volume session that saw waves of selling as key technical levels were broken.
"I think the dollar rally is driving sellers back into the market," said Gene McGillian, analyst at Tradition Energy in Stamford, Connecticut.
Selling pressure on oil and other commodities came on several fronts this week, with investors weighing factors from the death of Osama bin Laden to the impact of higher fuel and commodity costs on the economies of consumer nations to monetary policy in major economies.
Brent crude fell $1.37 to $109.43 a barrel by 2:56 p.m. EDT (1856 GMT) in heavy trade, with volumes twice the 30-day moving average. The contract was down $16.25 a barrel for the week, on track for its largest weekly decline ever.
U.S. crude futures settled down $2.62 at $97.18 a barrel, after trading at $102.38 following the release of supportive U.S. jobs data. U.S. crude ended down $16.75 for the week, the biggest weekly drop since the contract began trading in 1983.
The euro fell to its lowest in more than two weeks on Friday and headed for its worst week against the dollar since January after a German news report, later denied, suggested Greece had raised the possibility of leaving the euro zone.

18 Underwater Photos That Will Blow Your Mind

18 Underwater Photos That Will Blow Your Mind
Writen by Alexandru / 0 Comments
Underwater photos are really hard to take but some experimented photographers have outstanding results. One of the pros is Christy Lee Rogers, the author of the following photos.
Her obsession with water as a medium for breaking the conventions of contemporary photography has led to her work being compared to Baroque painting masters like Caravaggio. Boisterous in color and complexity, Rogers applies her cunning technique to a barrage of bodies submerged in water during the night, and creates her effects naturally in-camera using the refraction of light. Through a fragile process of experimentation, she builds elaborate scenes of coalesced colors and entangled bodies that exalt the human character as one of vigor and warmth, while also capturing the beauty and vulnerability of the tragic experience that is the human condition.
Alexandru is the co-owner of TopDesignMag. "If it looks easy, it's hard. If it looks hard, it's impossible. If it looks impossible, it's due tomorrow. At 8 A.M."

Do not ever skip the bridals
The bridals really can make or break wedding photography coverage. If there is one thing that you will need to remember all the time when it comes to the professional wedding photography scene, it is the absolute truth wherein the bride will always be the star of everything. The bride is your ultimate client. If there is any amount of "sucking up" that you would have to do, it needs to be with the bride, more than anything else. More often than not, the bride is usually pretty hands on when it comes to wedding preparations and everything else in between. It is oftentimes the bride who decides to hire you, negotiates with you, and plans everything out with you. As selfish as this may sound, the entire wedding celebration is pretty much centered around the bride.
Do not ever allow yourself to forget this for even just a sliver of a moment. The best way to showcase the bride in all her beauty and glory is to star her in a bridals photo shoot. A wedding photography coverage is never complete without one.
Master your lighting game.
Lighting is the beginning and the end in wedding photography. Even the most professional of setups, the most expensive lenses, the most manicured of lawn gardens, the most experienced wedding photographers dorset and so on and so forth, will come out looking mediocre and unimpressive if the lighting is not used up to its maximum potential. If there is any element that you will need to know like the back of your hand in wedding photography, it would have to be the lighting.
Practice everyday and challenge yourself to shoot in a wide variety of light settings.
You need to make sure that you are adaptable and flexible enough to be able to produce great looking pictures regardless of the kind of light setting that may be thrown your way. Make sure that you have the right amount of technical knowledge to really get to figure it out so you can play up your photos in such a way wherein you get exactly what you are aiming for. Remind yourself of the fact that you cannot build an entire wedding photography business out of the "lucky shots". You need hard work and a good amount of technical knowledge in order for you to make things go your way.
Bring a tripod along with you.
The lazy part of you will probably try to argue and say that it is not something that you will necessarily need all of the time but the truth of the matter is that a tripod is a staple requirement in all professional wedding photography sessions. A tripod can provide you with the kind of stability and support that is much needed when it comes to shooting in low light settings as well as during those instances wherein the photo shoot sessions are somewhat extended. It can get quite tiring and freeing up your hand can really give you the kind of freedom needed for you to be able to really assess the composition of the photos that you take.

Workhouse Open Doors and Exhibition
Open Doors
This year the Workhouse will again be on show as part of the Cadw's Open Doors programme of heritage open days. The date is Sunday 25 September.
Much of the ground floor of the building will be open to view, along with the attractive grounds and garden. People can visit the new Workhouse History Centre, opened this May, and view the highly praised film 'Ghosts of the Workhouse': for those who missed the opening a film of it will be showing. Visitors can try their hand at picking oakum: a traditional workhouse task. A special highlight will be a retrospective exhibition in Oriel Y Dolydd of works by the widely respected artist and sculptor John Lavrin, now based at Pontrobert. There will be live music in the afternoon by Café Lola. Some of Y Doydd's tenants will be opening their workshops, and there will be chance to learn about the activities of the Llanfyllin Workhouse Green Hub. Guided tours will be offered and refreshments served. The Workhouse will be open between 10.00 and 5.00 and admission is free.
John Lavrin: A Life in Painting
Between Saturday 24 September and Sunday 2 October Oriel Y Dolydd will be showing a very special exhibition of works by the distinguished artist and sculptor John Lavrin, spanning six decades.
John Lavrin, a former child prodigy whose artist mother, Nora Fry, encouraged his talents, had his first exhibition at the age of nine. He went on to study painting at Chelsea and the Slade Schools of Art towards the end of the 1940s- he is now 85 and still tending his large garden in the hills above Pont Robert; as a younger man he divided his time between London and Dalmatia, having married a local woman whose father was a prominent Croatian sculptor- he became his assistant.
John is a prolific artist whose self-built house is packed with paintings and sculpture: People and animals interest him primarily; he describes himself as a draughtsman first and foremost, and his colour is muted; this adds to their strength.
Since moving to Wales in 1993, local figures have been prominent, in paintings and in anecdotal three-dimensional pieces featuring local characters, such as "Market day", reproduced here.

Back from successful trip, Jets host Devilsby Brian Hunter
DEVILS (10-5-4) at JETS (9-9-1)
Last 10: New Jersey 5-4-1; Winnipeg 5-5-0
Season series: Second of three meetings. Winnipeg scored three unanswered goals to claim a 4-2 win in New Jersey on Sunday.
Big story: The Jets return home playing their best hockey of the season, having just completed a 4-1 road trip by beating the Rangers on Tuesday. Waiting for them at MTS Centre is a Devils team that has dropped five of seven and just placed goalie Martin Brodeur on injured reserve with a bad back.
Team Scope:
Devils: This is the completion of a home-and-home for New Jersey, which had three days off in the schedule between dates with Winnipeg. Unfortunately, that wasn't deemed to be enough time for Brodeur, who decided in warm-ups Sunday he couldn't go and was replaced by Johan Hedberg. He's expected to start again Thursday, with Keith Kinkaid recalled from Albany of the American Hockey League to back him up. Travis Zajac, who scored in the Devils' loss to the Jets, will play his first NHL game in his hometown.
"There will be a lot of friends and family that are going to come to the game and it's pretty exciting," Zajac told The (Bergen) Record earlier in the week. "I've never had a chance to play in front of a lot of these people, so it's going to be a neat experience."
Jets: While New Jersey was resting, Winnipeg kept its momentum going Tuesday at Madison Square Garden -- Evander Kane in particular. Kane extended his goal-scoring streak to four games with a pair, including the game-winner, and Olli Jokinen also tallied twice in the 4-3 win over the Rangers. Ondrej Pavelec, who has seen a heavy workload with veteran backup Al Montoya on the shelf, stopped 30 shots. The Jets are now back at .500 for the season and will look to improve upon a disappointing 3-5 mark on home ice.
"It's a big win for us and we finish the road trip 4-1, so that's great," Pavelec said. "But we have to come home and start to win again at home. We built some confidence here, hopefully, and it wasn't a situation for us after those losses at home. It was a great road trip for us."
Who's hot: Andrei Loktionov has a goal and two assists during a three-game points streak for the Devils. … Kane has six goals and four assists during an eight-game points streak for the Jets. Grant Clitsome has a goal and two assists during a three-game points streak. Anthony Peluso assisted on two goals Tuesday for his first NHL points.
Injury report: Brodeur isn't eligible to return until Monday, but New Jersey could activate forward Ryan Carter (head), who has missed the last three games. Forward Dainius Zubrus (wrist) isn't expected back for another month. … Montoya (lower body) is on injured reserve for Winnipeg along with defensemen Tobias Enstrom (shoulder) and Zach Redmond (leg).

Bacon is cured pork, and it is typically cut into thin slices that are then cooked on a griddle. Slices of bacon can be eaten on their own as a breakfast item, used to top other foods like burgers or casseroles, or wrapped around small bits of food to make appetizers. Bacon has a salty-sweet taste that combines well with other foods. If you have purchased a whole bacon slab, cut your bacon correctly to provide the most flavorful dining experience.
Things You'll Need
- Bacon slab
- Cutting board
- Sharp knife
Video of the Day
Lay the bacon slab flat on a cutting board.
Locate the stripes of fat. Bacon is typically heavily striped with fat, which makes it ideal as a seasoning for plainer foods.
Cut a slice from the end of the slab, making your cut parallel to the lines of fat. Make the slice about ¼ inch thick, as the slice will shrivel in the pan. If you are using the bacon as a topping, you may wish to slice it slightly thicker.
Repeat until you have all the bacon you need.

Regardless of the industry, most companies are continuously struggling to increase the number of permanent customers and to stand out against their competitors. Choosing the right marketing strategy is the key to success, because today nothing works if advertising is not included. One of the latest, most popular trends in marketing is corporate video production Australia services. However, most business owners still feel reticent to this strategy and have a lot of questions they need answers for.
Is video production expensive?
This is obviously one of the most frequently asked questions when it comes to corporate video production. One of the departments that many business owners cut money off in times of crisis is the marketing department, but this is one of the biggest mistakes they can make. After all, you are using marketing to promote your services and products and increase your profits, so if you cut marketing finances off, you won't be able to attract more customers. Investing in video production is essential nowadays, as competition is extremely high and there is always this struggle to attract new customers every once in a while. Depending on the company you work with and on the terms each of those companies has, the price for corporate video production projects may vary.
Is it necessary to hire actors?
Another question many business owners who consider video projects have is related to the people who will be appearing in the video. Should they be professional actors or regular people? Should you include employees in the corporate video or not? Well, the answer to this question only depends on you. You can discuss with the video production company you are about to hire about this aspect if you need some professional advice.
Who writes the script?
The script for the video is also up to you. You can choose to write the script yourself along with some of your employees or you can ask the company you hire to write the script on your behalf. If you go for the second option though, make sure you have a thorough discussion with the company, so that they understand your business and come up with a great script that truly reflects the personality of your company.
Where will the video appear?
The video can appear wherever you decide to appear. It can be uploaded on your company's website, on social networks such as Facebook, LinkedIn or Instagram or on your WordPress for instance. You can post it wherever you want and wherever you believe it will be most accessible to customers, both existing and potential ones.
What aspects are worth considering in such a project?
In order to benefit from a corporate video that will lead you to success, you need to focus on these elements:
- The objective – establish the scope of your video before you start shooting it. You need to have a clear idea why you are making it and to what extent it is important to your business.
- The audience – establish who you address your video to and ensure it is appealing to your target group
- The message – you are using the video to transmit your customers a message. Focus on one message only instead of two or three for instance, because chances to succeed are much higher this way.

WAM Continues To 'Elevate' Its Services To New Heights
For more than two decades, Weber Advertising & Marketing has strived to be the only true vertically-integrated agency in the U.S., and to that end founded its own on-site Digital Express color printing department, and even hired a full-time carpenter (a rarity in the business) for retail signage installations - moves which have helped all of its clients to achieve consistency in branding while reducing costs. But, if recent equipment acquisitions are any indication, the Lancaster firm is seeking to 'elevate' its large format printing capabilities to all new levels.
With the sheer volume of signage steadily increasing, including posters and placards that are needed on a weekly basis for grocery stores, WAM recently decided to ease its future labors by adding the following time-saving pieces of gear to its LFP department:
MIMAKI JV300 160 Wide-Format Printer
With a three-way intelligent heating system (Pre-heater, Print heater and Post-heater), this high-performance, high-quality eco-solvent machine has uniform drying across the width of the printer, for even image quality - and moreover, much faster printing than the earlier versions of JV printers still used by WAM.
BBC Industries Digi-Dri™ Portable Infrared Dryer
As if the JV300 wasn't already fast enough by itself, the Digi-Dri™ conveniently rolls up next to the printer, attaches to the output material, then uses uniform infrared heat distribution to gently dry the ink to a full cure - pretty much on contact. Which means most large format jobs will no longer have to be laid flat on the floor and dried for hours.
KIP 870 Multi-Touch Production Color Print System
Designed for high-demand project requirements, this dynamic device features high-resolution color and black-and-white mixed set production, a 4-roll network printer, and even a 12" Smart System K Touchscreen. Translation: it's a poster printer that pretty much prints and cuts to size high volumes with great speed and accuracy.
Sure, WAM has always strived to "get stuff done" fast. And due to its vertically-integrated business model, with everything from account services to digital art lay-out, and creative services to large-format printing all handled under one roof, they've been able to do just that. But if you're wondering what the addition of this new technological trio means to the company - and more importantly, to clients - one only has to look to LFP's Dave Cote for further insight.
"We have weekly grocery store signage that used to take us 2 days to print," says Dave. "But now, with machines like the KIP 870, it takes us only 2 hours."
Clients (both current and potential), you don't have to be mathematically-inclined to calculate that all those extra hours gained can now be put toward creating and installing in-store displays, writing and designing mailers, managing social media campaigns - and much more - for YOU!
Weber Advertising & Marketing
, one of the largest advertising and marketing firms in the Central Pennsylvania region, prides itself on "getting stuff done" across all media platforms - and across the U.S. To see updates on the various cool projects, big and small, that the WAM team gets asked to work on, visit our Facebook page regularly.

WAM Sets Sail For Comic-Con (And Makes A Sail For "Vikings"!)
Fans of History's "Vikings" (and even those who've never watched the series) have no problem conjuring up an image in their heads when hearing the words "Viking funeral."
But staging a "real" Viking funeral with a real Viking ship and real Viking sail? Something that can only happen on film, right?
Try telling that to the folks at Traction Creative in Vancouver, who reached out to their contact at ACI Design & Theme Productions in Lancaster - who in turn reached out to Weber Advertising's "Sultan of Signage" Dave Cote. When Dave heard about the project - the construction of a replica ship for transport to San Diego's 2017 Comic-Con for re-enactment of a Viking funeral - he and his LFP team were stoked about lending a hand.
"They came to us rather than bigger name companies because we get stuff done quickly, and more affordably," says Dave proudly. And what exactly was it that ACI Design wanted WAM to get done quickly? A sail emblazoned with the logo from the "Vikings" show!
But, it couldn't be just any old sail, printed on just any kind of material. In order to spare the sail from going up in smoke like the rest of the Viking ship it would need to be printed on flame resistant material. Plus it would need to be easily transportable. WAM's experts accomplished both tasks by using four separate fiberglass panels which were subsequently stitched and hem taped together.
"I remember telling them that neither the stitches nor the tape were fire-resistant," says Dave, who feared a quick and early demise to the focal point of the Viking funeral. "But they replied 'hey, it might look better if the sail actually fell apart'."
The result: a fiery spectacle that served as the perfect promotion for season 5 of "Vikings," scheduled to set sail Wednesday, November 29th on the History Channel.

WAM Boldly Forges Into Digital Territory With Hiring of Deirdre Daily
The Economist recently opined that "marketing chiefs are struggling to find the right way to reach consumers on new digital platforms, where they are spending more of their time." And at the beginning of the year Forbes predicted that "in 2016, if you want to be seen, interactive content is the way to do it."
Yes, marketing trends these days pretty much all lean toward the digital end. Thus, it should come as no surprise that Weber Advertising & Marketing decided to forge full throttle into the "digital age" this month by creating a brand new position - Digital Marketing Manager - and hiring an experienced pro to fill it.
Deirdre Daily, a graduate of York College of Pennsylvania, comes to Weber Advertising with a diverse portfolio of experience, including a recent four-year stint as Category Development Manager for the Woodstream Corporation. She is also a newlywed, having married her husband, Michael Kreider, in February 2016.
"I performed 4 different roles while I was at Woodstream," says Ms. Daily, "so I'm quite accustomed to maintaining flexibility and rolling with the punches. In fact, I rather enjoy a dynamic work environment, so look forward to the 'get stuff done' pace of things at WAM."
