As we move through December, one naturally begins to wonder about the ways to make the coming year even better.
If you've been thinking about investing in a straighter, more beautiful smile, 2017 is a great time to start orthodontic treatment. And with innovative Invisalign treatment at Julian S. Drew, DDS, you can attain that confident, gorgeous grin you want without sacrificing your appearance to braces in the process.
Innovative Treatment
Invisalign clear aligners have taken the orthodontic world by storm. These aligners are revolutionizing the way people think about teeth-straightening, making it so adults and teens everywhere don't have to stress about the look and feel of different types of braces.
As you explore this orthodontic treatment option, you'll want to know Invisalign's main components and the benefits the treatment has over braces. Accordingly, here are three key points that your Raleigh dentist would like you to be aware of as you consider embarking on an Invisalign journey.
#1 Perfect for Adults & Teens
Invisalign was originally developed for adult treatment purposes, but there is now a line specifically for adolescent patients known as Invisalign Teen. This type of Invisalign treatment is suitable for patients that are still growing. The "teen version" of Invisalign features eruption tabs that give way to any teeth coming in. Other than that, treatment remains relatively the same for adult and adolescent patients.
#2 Inconspicuous & Comfortable
Invisalign aligners are clear, meaning they are barely visible. As a result they are perfect for people that might be self-conscious about the look of traditional braces. Each set of aligners is also customized to each patient. So all aligners fit perfectly and comfortably in the mouth, working to slowly guide the teeth into the desired position by means of switching to new aligners every couple weeks. This movement creates pressure, but the overall treatment is nearly painless when compared to some other orthodontic appliances and solutions.
#3 Removable & Hygiene-Friendly
Another benefit of Invisalign is that Invisalign aligners are removable. They can be taken out whenever a patient eats, drinks, or needs to brush his or her teeth. This makes keeping the teeth clean much simpler because there is no deviation from your regular healthy oral hygiene routine. An added benefit related to this is that patients don't have any food restrictions because there is no worry about accidentally breaking a part of the appliance (like a bracket or wire).
A Clear Alternative
Braces are a time-tested, effective orthodontic solution, but Invisalign is a terrific alternative that might be more suitable for some qualified adult and adolescent patients.
If you're interested investing in a new smile for the New Year, contact your Raleigh, NC dentist today to learn if Invisalign is right for you. You'll be glad you did!

The Snowman
It is Christmastime, and a young boy excitedly runs out to the new fallen snow to build a snowman. And a wonderful creation it is – even standing at attention out on the lawn, the snowman has real personality. That night, the boy is unable to sleep for thinking about his snowman, and he rushes outside to find the snowman has come to life. Like any new friends, the two begin to get to know one another. The boy shows the snowman around his house – always careful to keep him far away from the stove and the fireplace! Then the snowman returns the favor and takes the boy for a magical tour through the air over land and sea to the North Pole. Children will delight in the young boy's secret nocturnal adventure with his friend, but the realistic ending may upset some - the boy comes out the next morning to find the snowman has become a melted pile of snow punctuated by three pieces of coal and a hat and scarf. Was it all a dream, or was it real? The award-winning book by Raymond Briggs on which this film is based is completely wordless and the illustrations are in storyboard format – giving it great potential for transposition to animated film. But with the superb animation and the hauntingly beautiful music by Howard Blake, this film not only reaches that potential, it surpasses it. Nominated for the Best Animated Short Film Oscar, this is destined to become a holiday family favorite.

The skinny on looking slim A bronzed body hides a multitude of sins. But steer clear of the sun and don't go near a solarium. Fun in the sun . . . regular exercise can make all the difference when trying to lighten up. I f the thought of hitting the sand fills you with dread, fear not; there are ways to slim down and shape up without resorting to dreary diets or punishing workouts. Consider these five steps your fast track to a fabulous beach body. Brush up To kick-start a sluggish post-winter metabolism, try adding dry skin brushing to your beauty regime. It's best to do it daily before your morning shower. Using a soft- bristle brush, massage over the entire body in circular movements working away from the heart. Banish orange peel Swap your usual body moisturiser for a shaping product designed to shift that cellulite and give you a more streamlined shape. Elixia Body Shaper Cellulite Contour Creme comes turbo-charged with fat-busting peptides and stimulating caffeine, which has a slimming effect. It also contains green tea extracts to aid detoxification and soothing aloe vera to repair the skin and get it glowing. Apply twice daily to the target areas. It claims to create a visibly thinner appearance after a month's use. Body buff A professional treatment such as the Ultra Body Buff at Polished Beauty Bar in Woollahra will also help get your body back on track. Combining deep exfoliation with lymphatic drainage massage and a luxurious vitamin A mask, it will remove dead skin cells, banish any nasty bloating and leave your body supple and glowing. It's priced at $125 for 45 minutes. See polishedbeautybar.com.au. Shape up There's no getting around the fact that slimming products and diet can only do so much. To shift those extra kilos and create a contoured beach-worthy body, you need to exercise. That said, you can incorporate easy exercises such as squats -- which work every single muscle in the body -- into your daily routine; do a few while cooking dinner or watching TV. Or heed the advice of Gwyneth Paltrow's trainer Tracy Anderson and train for one hour a day, six days a week for the rest of your life. For a killer A-list body, Anderson says to do 30 minutes of cardio training (dancing, jogging, aerobics) and 30 minutes of weights and stretches. Glistening glow Fact: a bronzed body hides a multitude of sins. But steer clear of the sun, don't go near a solarium and opt for a professional spray tan. These days the spray tanning options include everything from a one-hour drying tan to organic varieties, in every shade imaginable. Look to brands such as St. Tropez and Fake Bake. Or try TechnoTan at Salon X in Paddington, where sprays are administered in gorgeous glass booths. NSJ SPECIAL REPORT

In this increasingly complex world, mental health is fast becoming recognised as an important issue. Engine Room was proud to produce this documentary for Cirrus Media detailing the development of the Cheer Index, a scale used by GPs to recognise whether a depressed patient is suffering from emotional blunting while on anti-depressants. The interviews were powerful, especially from the patient, Rowan Wall, based in the Mornington Peninsula. Our visual aesthetic used colour moving from desaturated to saturated to convey the change from blunting to feeling the spectrum of emotions.

Science fiction is not just an art form or a genre of literature but a business, too. Chinese companies and local governments are making big investments in it because they believe there is huge and growing demand for stories that spark the imagination.
Growth of the mobile internet in China is the key. People want to watch science fiction short videos on their phones, and many games are based on science fiction stories. The market for virtual reality alone is expected to be worth 55 billion yuan (.3 billion) a year by 2020, according to Bloomberg. The Motion Picture Association of America estimates that China will surpass the US as the world's largest movie market this year. All those forms of media need content.
In an interview with National Business Daily, Jiang Lin, internet director of Science Fiction World magazine, said: "China boasts abundant sci-fi intellectual property works to develop derivative products like internet drama, TV series, films and games. I hope China Science Fiction City (which is to be built in Chengdu) can cultivate fertile soil for these products to take root and grow."
Entrepreneurs and venture capitalists see vast potential.
For example, the Future Affairs Administration, a private startup company established in Beijing last year, has already raised 10 million yuan of angel investment. During the A round of financing, the administration raised dozens of millions in total and established Three Body Cosmos, a subsidiary company that focuses on developing stories related to The Three Body Problem trilogy.
Ji Shaoting, the administration's founder and chief executive, says that at the beginning it got a percentage from selling stories.
"But that is like crushing the aspirations of the poor writers. They are not making a lot. I later realized it's better if we get the good stories and also participate in the movie part. We can get percentages of the movie project or the TV series, so we can be kinder to our writers. We want to help our writers and protect them. I want to help them get more money, and then they can have time to write more stories."
The administration also employs people who can help to make movies, she says.
"We don't make movies, but give them advice and ideas. The other part of the team is editors, because we have to talk to writers. ... Last year we talked to writers more than movie makers because we have to grow the bank of our IP. We talked to foreign writers, Chinese writers, new writers and people who want to be writers. So we are building up an education system of Chinese writers."
In that sense the administration is similar to an agent, she says.
"It is a little bit complicated, but that's how things work in China. Because over the past few decades there was no Chinese science fiction industry, but just words. If we want to make it an industry we have to do many things in the whole industrial chain. In the US you have thousands of science fiction writers who have been published, but in China there are fewer than 100 Chinese science fiction writers, and the fans only know the names of 20.
So we really need more science fiction writers. Many of the science fiction movies from America made a lot of money in China."
Feng Huawei, founder of Chinese investment company, Smallville Capital, and a major investor in FAA, defined the project as part of the growing "imagination industry".
"The development of technology that includes mobile information provides us access to more devices that serve our needs, as well as spreading ideas. Imagination as the source of content production, diversity and innovation, is of more value now. We are looking for a combination of high-quality science fiction works with other industries, such as movie, animation, education, travel, real estate and other cultural businesses. We also wish to have more people involved in the production and innovation of high-quality science fiction content by supporting development."
For 10 years Ji was a reporter with Xinhua News Agency, where the science fiction writer and Xinhua executive Han Song became a mentor. She cried when she left Xinhua, but science fiction is her passion, she says.
"I started reading science fiction when I was 9 years old. Through high school and college there were few people who were interested in it, so I was really lonely."
However, in 2007 she attended a science fiction conference in Chengdu and "felt I was not lonely anymore".
"I felt I had found the science fiction family."

Reducing Food Waste
Keep posted to pingree.house.gov/foodwaste for updates on Congresswoman Pingree's legislation.
The United States wastes a staggering amount of food, resulting in environmental problems, billions in economic costs, and a lost opportunity to help feed the 50 million Americans who are food insecure. Congresswoman Chellie Pingree has been a leader in pushing legislation in Congress to address this problem.
- The Food Recovery Act takes comprehensive steps to reduce food waste on the farm, in stores, institutions, and at home. Press release & Statements of Support | Bill Summary
- The Food Date Labeling Act (114th Congress--will be reintroduced) aims to make food date labels more consistent and less confusing, so less food is needlessly thrown out. More information here.
More on Reducing Food Waste
A tax break that Congresswoman Chellie Pingree says will reduce food waste passed the House today as part of a larger package of tax provisions. The provision creates a permanent, "enhanced" tax deduction for grocery stores, restaurants, and farmers who donate excess food to organizations like food banks and soup kitchens.
The provision, which is part of Pingree's Food Recovery Act, was originally introduced in a bill written by Congressman Tom Reed (R-NY).
UPDATE: Congresswoman Chellie Pingree released the following statement after being contacted by Shaw's Supermarkets.
Pingree introducing landmark legislation aimed at reducing food waste in grocery stores, restaurants, schools and farms
(Portland, ME) At a press event at the Portland Food Co-Op, Congresswoman Chellie Pingree said she will be introducing a bill today in Congress aimed at reducing the amount of food that is wasted each year in the United States. The Food Recovery Act includes nearly two dozen provisions to reduce food waste across the economy.
The following piece was sent to area newspapers in November 2015.
Here are two figures that don't add up: 40 percent of the food produced in the United States gets thrown out while nearly 50 million Americans can't reliably access enough food to meet their nutrition needs.
Comprehensive legislation attacks food waste in schools, restaurants, stores and farms
Congresswoman Chellie Pingree announced today that she will be introducing comprehensive legislation this fall to attack the problem of wasted food.

There is a media frenzy about Earth's impending doom come Friday, the 21st of December. Naturally, this would be a talking point between Mike and I:
MIKE: I forgot to tell you, I'm going to be going straight from visiting Adam to work on Friday.
SYD: What! What am I supposed to do Friday night during the impending apocalypse! When am I going to kiss you goodbye?!
MIKE: That's not going to happen.
SYD: Well I know that, but still, we don't need to jinx things like this (knocks on wood)
MIKE: Sure, okay…
SYD: I guess I can walk to my parent's house if the power goes out. Hey, do you still have that card with my cell number on it in your wallet?
MIKE: Maybe, why?
SYD: Well, we need to be able to get in contact with each other if your cell phone doesn't work because the cell towers go down.
MIKE: What does that have to do with the card that has your cell phone number on it?
SYD: Er, um, nothing I guess. We at least need a disaster plan. Like, for more than just the apocalypse, but other disasters too. We should have a spot so you know where I am if it looks like no one is home. Does the part of the basement that has the paint stored in it have windows?
MIKE: Yes.
SYD: Oh no, does that mean that the only safe spot…
MIKE: Yes, is the unfinished bathroom that you're scared to go into.
SYD: Shoot.
MIKE: Which, in case you find yourself in there, my motorcycle and the lawnmower batteries are drip charging in there.
SYD: You're motorcycle is in the bathroom?!?!
MIKE: …The battery…
Clearly, in the event that the shit hits the fan on Friday – Mike and I are totally prepared. For the record, I don't think anything natural is going to go down on Friday. I do however have very little faith in people that I don't know – and feel like someone may use this as an opportunity to cause large-scale trouble.
So, if you're looking for me Saturday morning, there's a chance that I might be asleep in the unfinished bathroom… if there is a Saturday morning 😉

Why would a piece of literature be banned in schools if it has been in the curriculum for years? Of Mice and Men has been banned in schools for a few reasons but here are three. One reason why it has been banned is because of the profanity used. Another reason why it has been banned, it has the killing of helpless animals. Finally it has violence in almost every chapter throughout the book. Now that we know more about the reasons why, lets look more in depth.
Profanity is used constantly in the book especially the N word. Some teachers believe that this is not acceptable, even though students already know this profanity. Some of the profanity is racist or isn't acceptable in today's culture. Such as this quote made by Curley's Wife "Listen, nigger. You know what I can do to you if you open your trap." Some parent's disapprove of the language and call the book "trash". A teacher who was asked on his thoughts or memories of the book being banned said "One time a students parents came to me with a copy of the book with the profanity highlighted."
Throughout this book we see a countless number of animals that are killed. Lennie was given at a young age, a mouse from his Aunt Clara. We learn this when George throws away his dead mouse he found and talks about how Lennie shouldn't have any more mice or any pet. George says "That was your own Aunt Clara. An' she stopped givin' 'em to ya. You always killed 'em." So first he would kill mice whenever he got them. One night in the bunkhouse a few of the workers offer to shoot Candy's dog. Candy ends up letting the men shoot the dog but it left a great hole in his heart. Lennie also gets a puppy from Slim, which later on near the end is killed like all Lennie's pets. Even though it's read in high school, some students don't like this. The reason they don't like this is because they might have a pet and wouldn't like this if it happened to there pet.
Some scenes in Of Mice and Men range from violent to gruesome. Such as when Lennie and Curley get into a fight. The author describes the violence very good and how gruesome it would have been. In a quote by Slim he says "Looks to me like every bone in his han' is bust" which describes the scene very well. Lennie killing Curly's Wife was violent because he snapped her neck while suffocating her. In the sad ending George shoots Lennie in the back of the head.
This is why Of Mice and Men has been banned in certain schools for years. From Profanity, Animal Cruelty and Violence it drove some parents over the edge and called it to be banned in schools.

Porn star Jimmy Clay has resurfaced at Randy Blue, now sporting some new tattoos, and looking kind of different.
One of the new tattoos says "Mise En Place," which is a cooking term, so I'm guessing he's got another career as a chef now.
Jimmy landed in The Sword's top 25 best porn star asses of all time back when he was working for Next Door Male/Dylan Lucas, he got fucked like a star for CockyBoys, he shined in the second season of So You Think You Can Fuck on Dominic Ford, and who can forget the time Bambi slapped him across the face. And, of course, he's always been a master with the cumshot. QueerMeNow caught Jimmy's earlier tweet hints about his return at Randy Blue back in May, after a hiatus of about a year and a half, and now we have the scene.
But here's just a couple quick before-and-afters here before we move on to his latest solo. What do we think? Is he less hot? Discuss.
And now, here he is being billed "bisexual porn star" and an "icon" on Randy Blue, and for his first trick, he'll be jerking off in the sun, and then jerking off while fucking himself with a small metal dildo.
July 21, 2014 at 12:16 am
Jimmy Clay will always be hot… those eyes… grrrr. And I LOVE how masculine he is. A guy who enjoys being a guy and getting fucked like a guy, just awesome.
July 9, 2014 at 8:36 pm
I have been a fan of Jimmy Clay since he was Jimmy Coxx. Just looking at the first couple side by side pics shows that he has lessened his physical beauty with that explosion of ink on his torso.
July 6, 2014 at 5:34 pm
I always like Jimmy Clay, but I have to agree with the majority here on his tattoes. It's awful! Why do men and women ruin their bodies with tattoes to begin with? Is it some type of self hate towards their bodies? I mean one or more tattoes are fine, but why go overboard and make yourself unattractive?
July 11, 2014 at 3:07 pm
It depends. I don't really have a huge issue with tats considering that I have one but I hate when people get a huge one that's distracting on their body. Now I've gotten used to Johnny Forza having that one tat on his pec (didn't notice the other one on his leg) but Jimmy's I can't ignore because it's right there in your face.
July 6, 2014 at 3:58 pm
Hot… yes, but horrible ink work.
July 5, 2014 at 2:38 pm
Honey if my ass looked like that…well I wouldn't be writing this stupid comment cause I would be busy doing fun things.
July 2, 2014 at 10:20 pm
I have to agree those tattoos are hideous but he still is cute.
July 2, 2014 at 6:08 pm
smile now +
hair now +
tatts now —
July 2, 2014 at 2:44 pm
Much hotter then. His new tat across the chest is just awful. that would have been a better back tattoo, he has more space to work with. And people are saying he's more handsome facewise now, I disagree. He looks way more exhausted facewise. Regardless of him looking more tired and that tattoo, I'd still bang him. I just think he's so not Randy Blue material anymore. He was at his peak when he was at NextDoor and Cockyboys, and RB should have grabbed him a long time ago.
And yes he's probably making decent money working in the food industry, but his schooling is expensive. I imagine a lot of his porn money now will be going towards his tuition.
July 2, 2014 at 11:43 am
So is he a chef now? The way his abs have disappeared behind his stomach I guess that makes sense. Anyway, I am not crazy about the tats, but that ass!!! He is definitely still hot!
July 2, 2014 at 8:15 am
The tattoos are rubbish but he's even more handsome now facially. Damnit, he's gonna be one of those guys that gets more handsome as he ages.
July 2, 2014 at 7:59 am
Enough with the trashy tattoos already, it's turning men into ugly.
July 2, 2014 at 7:05 am
Less tattoos, more forehead. That was mean.
July 2, 2014 at 5:37 am
mixed bag
Not crazy about that tattoos but I like his short curly hair and his face now.
July 2, 2014 at 2:18 am
Its unattractive.
July 1, 2014 at 10:39 pm
And to think people pay for it: A huge draw showing a girl in something like a mayan temple and the expression: " Mise em place " above. Now (in my opinion) he's chest seems to be perpetually dirty…
July 1, 2014 at 10:58 pm
* his
July 1, 2014 at 9:11 pm
Still an incredible ass. Look at that thing. He looks better with a bit of weight on him, but that ink is absurd.
July 1, 2014 at 8:14 pm
I'll defend tattoos … even big ones. But sorry, Jimmy, that ink's a fucking disaster.
July 1, 2014 at 8:05 pm
Just the other day I was getting off to The Jersey Score 2, which Jimmy Clay is in! I've always been a fan of Jimmy but those new tattoes are ugly! I'd do him!
July 1, 2014 at 7:31 pm
What the fuck? He used to be so hot.
July 1, 2014 at 6:51 pm
If you're a chef now why is he returning to porn. I think his job earns a lot it's a very in-demand profession.
July 1, 2014 at 6:27 pm
Hot! 'Nuff Said.

Or has a crisis been manufactured?
There is nothing like a crisis to motivate people and govt into action. Money is spent to solve the crisis...no questions please. Questions slow the profit, I mean solution down.
Think Enron. The recordings of traders selling grandma down the drain for their own profit is left wing propaganda...if it were not for the fact that the traders were recorded as they manufactured the electrical crisis that consumed
Redstate.org, in the person of Pat Cleary has posted another story that pushes and continues the manufactured oil refinery shortage crisis. Hold onto your wallets because Pat even pulls out the protection of poor people to support his perverted economic theory.
Redstate would not allow me to post a comment even though I'm registered and not a troll. It seems that the now controversial GWB theory of intelligence is spreading. If you want to convince others of your theory...dismiss all dissenting views.
This is just a taste:
Pat Cleary just posted another false tale concerning the shortage of oil refineries. There is an economic lecture that might make you vomit:
Everyone's for new sources, all for conservation. But this is not a zero sum game. That only gets us so far. In the meantime, we need to be doing everything in our power to tap into the enormous supply of energy that we have in this country. We remain the only country in the world that limits access to its own natural resources and now the poor and those on fixed incomes are quite literally going to pay the price for it. Anybody cover supply & demand in Economics 101...
For a dissenting view please read this from the Dept of Energy.
The United States experienced a steep decline in refining capacity between 1981 and the mid-1990s. Between 1981 and 1989, the number of
Refinery closures have continued since 1989, bringing the total number of operable
While some refineries have closed, and no new refineries have been built in nearly 30 years, many existing refineries have expanded their capacities. As a result of capacity creep," whereby existing refineries create additional refining capacity from the same physical structure, capacity per operating refinery increased by 28% over the 1990 to 1998 period, for example. Overall, since the mid-1990s,

Other Spring Activities
Discover all the activities you can do in Barcelona during Spring! Don't miss the opportunity to discover new ways of enjoying the city by reading this article:
- 5 Spring and Summer Activities in Barcelona 5 Ideas to enjoy the good weather in Barcelona during spring and summer
The Climate in April
Spring is coming to Barcelona! April is the month that brings the good weather and higher temperatures in the Catalan capital. The trees and flowers bloom and the city wakes up. The average temperature is generally 14ºC and never goes below 8ºC. In fact, you will see the whole city full of colours and always under the sun.
Here is the climatological data for the month of April in Barcelona:
- Average temperature: 14ºC
- Maximum temperature: 17.8ºC
- Minimum temperature: 8.4ºC
- Sunrise: between 6:50am and 7:35am
- Sunset: between 8:16pm and 8:48pm
If you would like more up to date information, here is a good page with meteorological information.
Together with March and May, April is one of the best months to enjoy your stay in Barcelona. Spring transforms the city: the festivals, music events and runs start. Here is our opinion on the advantages and disadvantages of travelling to Barcelona this month!
Arrival of Spring: In Barcelona, the climate is always fantastic for doing everything, but we know that walking in the parks, sunbathing or taking an excursion to Park de Collserola is different in Spring. Enjoy this month and discover the best part of the city. If you want a guide for the best parks in Barcelona, you can read this interesting article.
- Barcelona and its green spaces Breathe fresh air in the most amazing parks of the city ...
Less tourists: In the month of April, Barcelona has tourists in the streets, but they are still not full of people. The months of summer are more chaotic, so Spring seems like the best month to travel to this destination stress free.
This year, Easter will be in March (until 1 April), so the month of April is cheaper than ever! Make the most of it!
The Catalan version of Valentine's Day: St. George's Day. This festival is already famous so many people come to visit Barcelona on this particular, beautiful day. You can't miss this festival where the locals will also participate… and don't forget to buy a rose or a book!
The only inconvenience of travelling in April is that it will be too cold to swim in the sea. It's the only month with high temperatures where it's almost impossible to enjoy this part of the city. Even so, you can go to Barceloneta or to your preferred beach to sunbathe or time spend time with your friends.

Some folks like to be en-vogue all the time. If you are one of those who think that being in line with current trends is sacrosanct, you probably look to change your web content with every changing season. Here are some haute couture web design tricks that guarantee to keep you shining in 2015's limelight.
• Google's Material Design:
Microsoft and Apple introduced the new flat design concept. Flat has now become the new black with Google's expansion of the concept with its Material Design guidelines. Their design goal is to "Create a visual language that synthesizes classic principles of good design with the innovation and possibility of technology and science." With material design, designers aim to create a unified user experience irrespective of devices and platforms. This unique design provides for input via touch, keyboard, mouse and voice channels.
• Responsive Typography:
If you are not already using responsive typography then you are surely in need of a glamorous make over. Fluid design has been around for a while now. Gone are the days of dirty spillovers, asymmetrical spacing and unreadable breakages due to varying screen sizes and resolutions. With responsive typography, you get to work with modern fonts and colours and experience the pleasure of self-adjusting line heights and lengths based on the display area. Themed typography that tells a story about your product is also gaining momentum amongst trendy web designers today. For those looking for neat and clean web design, responsive text can go a long way in creating just the perfect visual backdrop for your content.
• Hand Drawn Illustrations:
Combine creative doodles with the digital medium and you can create a visual treat with a brilliantly human touch. Artistic expression has made its way to websites and is now a trend worth watching out for. Be it in the form of poster type headlines, cartooning, cultural motifs or plain old statistical diagrams, hand drawn elements give websites a definitive character that makes it stand out as compared to the regular jazzy digital overdose.
• Card-based Design:
A card is the new digital canvas for web designers. Highly popularized by big names such as Facebook, Google and Twitter, cards is the in-thing these days for creating cool websites. Very much like a credit card or a visiting card, this design element is great for including individual categorized clickable content that acts as a gateway for further user engagement.
Being in trend is a good thing. It keeps you in tune with what's going on in the world. It helps you to appreciate new ideas and let go of old ways that no longer work. At Creative Ideaz, we work together with you to highlight the best in your products or services in tune with the latest trends in content and web design.

When you come to think about it, the Old Masters left a massive heritage, and they will forever have their places in the tomes of art history. However, art has many facets and has always been characterized by its inherent, flowing dynamics.
This is where the contemporary German painter, draughtsman and sculptor, Markus Tollmann, enters the scene. He is a special case, because he doesn't simply work as an artist: he has in-depth knowledge of his field. He is recognized as an expert. In fact, he worked as advisor for the world-famous Christies' auction house in London back in the late 1980s, and has been director of the MoMA in Hamburg since 2007. But let's start at the beginning.
The outstanding artistic skills of this exceptional artist are firmly rooted in his background. Having inherited his talent for painting from his father, art professor Günther Tollmann, Markus Tollmann has been a constant presence on the art scene from a very early age. When he was seven, he was already studying Picasso and painting his own versions of the Spanish master's works. He had his first exhibition at the age of nine. Later he received private drawing lessons from the 'enfant terrible' of contemporary art, Joseph Beuys. At the age of 18, he worked in close cooperation with Francis Bacon in his London studio. Beuys, Bacon, international artists - they have all fascinated him, leaving a lasting impression on his work. From a very early age artistic blood has been pulsating through his veins.
His art career includes an impressive list of national and international exhibitions, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the State Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg, the Brussels Art Fair, the New York C. Teresa Gallery and, a rare privilege for a contemporary artist, a solo show at the State Russian Museum of St Petersburg. The portrait of Johannes Rau at the Bundestag, or that of the legendary Luciano Pavarotti as well as portraits of other great personalities, are testimony to his wide-ranging oeuvre and his creative vigour.
With his structural and artistic complexity he creates his own horizons. His marvellous works of art have the power to intoxicate and paralyze when looking at and absorbing them. Opulent, pulsating, complex and colour-intensive, an affirmation of life, vigorous and truly radiant. Naturally, a lot of his own personality and charisma flow into the work. His works compel you to look beyond, liberating you from the limitations of reason, while being intellectually stimulating and a source of inspiration. Life-philosophical matters are put into paint, expressed with flowing dynamics. You will want to touch his work with all your senses. His paintings create a space for the viewer's way of seeing, also providing a canvas on which to project your feelings of happiness.
Markus Tollmann lives his art. With pure authenticity and uncompromising vigour, he embodies the ideal of enjoying life and art to the full. He lights up the sky. His distinctive style, in his work as well as in his persona, is informed by a lightness and richness of emotion coming from within – naturally, without artificiality, refreshingly positive, without any trace of pseudo-intellectual pretention.
His boundless love of life - a life unimaginable without art - is his modus operandi, oozing from his every pore.
Getting to know him will put you under the spell of the Tollmann universe. He blurs the boundaries, creating the mystery of a no-man's-land, where art and reality merge effortlessly.
Markus Tollmann always finds spaces that can be extended. To him, to discover means to see what everyone has seen and to think what no-one will have thought. To him, art is the perfect medium for expressing these thoughts and conveying these emotions.
Markus Tollmann has long been an established personality in the contemporary art scene, and has reached a phase in his creative work that has matured over the years and with experience. He is in a class of his own, but not a person who rests on his laurels. Unheeding of conventions and dogma, Markus Tollmann will doubtless continue to develop in his career. He was born to achieve creation and self-expression.

|Kiki, thank you for making the AQUATHON a blast. Your high energy and fun personality added so much to the event. I hope you enjoyed it as much as we all did. The weather was great and everything seemed to go well. Everyone was asking about next year. We'll have to think about that. A few of us would like to join your class sometime soon. Is your pool open year round? I'd love to get in the water and work out for a change. I love the water but seldom get in and you do a great job. Hope to see you again soon.
Ps. We earned a little over $1150 for the Lions Club. Thanks again.

|Your class has been a lifesaver for me. You are such a fun, energetic, in-the-water teacher.
I have made new friends, gained confidence, strength, and agility. Your all accepting, warm manner makes it fun for all. As far as I am concerned, my Parkinson's Disease has not progressed since I found you.
The sweet gift you gave me, is just another way to display your generous spirit! It makes it all the more special to me!
You are a gift.
|We Love The Water!
|Meredith Adams
|Kiki: My passion has been tennis for many years & play 2 to 3 times a week at Chamisal. Now, thanks to you I'm addicted to your awesome Aqua aerobics class which has really helped me with my total body fitness as well as my tennis game! You're a gifted instructor, an inspiring personality, a talented musician and a fun loving humorist. Our club is privileged to have you on staff.
|Focused and Fun!
|Dear Kiki,
Just wanted to share with you how much my husband, Roger and my daughter, Cheryl and I are enjoying your Aqua class! Roger is a competitive water polo player and swimmer; and he gets a GREAT workout in your class. I have been teaching Group Fitness classes for 30+ years, have lifted weights for that same time period, and I always am amazed at what a great workout you give! I feel tighter in the legs, seat, abs, arms, shoulders--not sore, just TIGHTER, from all the movements that water resistance allows. My daughter was a Varsity High School athlete in 3 different sports, and she gets a challenging workout, too! How many classes out there can cater to a 34, a 56, and a 63 year old where ALL get a great workout?!
We ALL enjoy the Chamisal sunshine and the nice water temperature in the pool, so getting in is a pleasure in itself…but adding to that your smiling face encouraging us to go deeper, faster, longer, stronger in a well-thoughtout total body workout is taking a good thing and making it even better! It is evident that you love what you do, and that you care about each person in your class -- and your positive attitude and humor make it so enjoyable to participate!!! Happy Birthday and make you be as happy as you make those around you! Thank you, Kiki!
|Best Letter EVER!
|Cathy Williams
|What a great find. I have been looking for an alternative workout for free weights since neck surgery no longer adapts to the weights. I've found KIKI at Chamisal! What a great water aerobics class. Kiki is an excellent instructor who has a solid grasp on technique, pace, and motivation. Her wonderful sense of humor, coupled with her excellent delivery of instructions, and ability to motivate all of us, creates an hour of enjoyed, effective exercise. Chamisal made a great decision in adding Kiki to their instructor's family.
|Jellies Losing their Bellies
|Jill Colyer
|If you're looking for a great aerobic workout and a refreshing change of pace from the gym, come to Kiki's Water Aerobics class at Chamisal's beautiful pool. Join a fun group of women AND men - It's a Terrific class and something to look forward to every week!
|4 Classes A Week!
|Dede Woodhead
It gives me great pleasure to receive messages like this one. Thank you for caring for our members. On behalf of ownership and the rest of our staff I would like to thank you for being a great representative of our club.
Best Wishes,

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Two men have been arrested after the pair reportedly fired at officers and crashed their vehicle in a Midtown neighborhood Wednesday afternoon.
Police said the officers were responding to an unrelated call near the corner of Chelsea and Woodlawn in North Memphis around 4 p.m. when the suspects drove up in a gray Chevrolet Impala and the passenger opened fire.
"Officers were doing their job, they were stopped when the suspects drove by and decided to shoot out the window towards the officers," said Memphis Police Department spokeswoman Karen Rudolph.
The suspects crashed their car about 2.5 miles away at North Avalon and Forrest in Midtown, damaging two houses. The suspects then bailed out and ran.
"Clearly the car had run into a telephone pole and hit a fence and tore that area up," said one witness.
The driver was taken into custody after a foot chase.
Ladarren Easley, 24, has been charged with attempted first-degree murder, evading arrest and reckless driving.
The second suspect, who remains unidentified, was taken into custody around 11 a.m. Thursday.
One woman said both men jumped over her backyard fence and fired several rounds.
"At first it was a loud crash because they hit the pole first and then you just heard like firecrackers," she said.
She said those firecrackers turned out to be gunshots. She estimated she heard three or four of them.
Police recovered two guns at the scene, including a Glock handgun with an extended 50-round magazine.
Easley told police the pair was attempting to fire at the driver of another vehicle and sped off when they saw police.

we invite you
The Citizens' Debate on Space for Europe is a unique - indeed the first instance of a - consultation organised in every member state of the European Space Agency. Over 1600 citizens selected to reflect the socio-demographic diversity of their country will debate space issues during a day-long meeting. In order to consolidate the 22 national results reports into one European report, all debates will follow the same instructions and answer the same set of questions.
This consultation on unprecedented scale is organised by Missions Publiques, a company specialised in citizen participation, with 20 partners, on behalf of ESA. ESA intends to take in new actors to develop its future orientation and nurture its strategy. It is crucial to the Agency to involve more actors, especially citizens, in choices that will respond to societal challenges, put space at their service and impact coming generations through space innovation, exploration and international space cooperation..
The Debate
On 10 September 2016, almost 100 citizens from across Ireland and Cork came with a common objective: debating about science, space exploration or space debris management in a fun, and inclusive approach. The Camden Palace Hotel Community Arts Centre aims to facilitate communities and individuals to create and achieve projects such as the ESA Citizens Debate on Space. The Debate was a wonderful challenge to bring people from different backgrounds to discuss issues and thoughts about Europe's Space programme that was productive in giving voice to citizens from outside the ESA. That was enriching, and will be a step in creating a more inclusive organization that can be better designed to the objectives of its citizens.
The results
You can consult on the website all the results of the multiple-choice questions (quantitative results) for Europe and country per country.
You can also use filters to consult the results. The filters concern categories of age, gender, occupation or the level of knowledge about space declared by the participants.
The debate's day
Participate on September 10
The debate will be a full day face-to-face meeting involving 100 lay-citizens in each location. During the event, participants will be informed about Space and ESA's mandate and work on general Space issues. Citizens will discuss together in small groups about these topics and then contribute to the future of Space and its implications.
You do not need any specific knowledge about space to participate: everyone comes with his or her own experience. Participation is free of charge and lunch will be provided.

Boys defeat the Columbus Wildcats
IMS traveled to Columbus Junction Friday and returned with a 79-32 win over the Wildcats. IMS jumped to a 13-2 lead after four minutes and led 24-8 after one period. It was IMS 48-19 at the half, as Dallas Nye scored all 13 of his points before intermission to lead the way. IMS pushed it to 61-23 four minutes into the third period and the continuous clock kicked in the rest of the way.
IMS was paced by Cameron Gingerich with 19 points, and Joel Shetler came off the bench to score 13 points on 6-7 from the floor and pull down five rebounds. Reggie Hostetler also reached double figures with 12 points and had a team-high nine rebounds. Justin Boller added eight points, including two three-point goals, and six rebounds. Peyton Thompson had seven points, Tanner Leyden tallied five, and Zach Hill completed the scoring with two points. Nye had five assists and two steals, while Hostetler, Thompson, and Eli Gingerich each passed for four assists. Boller and Cameron Gingerich added three assists apiece. Nye and Hill each had three rebounds.
Coach Dwight Gingerich said "we were able to play at a pretty high intensity level early and then maintain it for the most part. Again, when we move the ball well, we get good looks and shoot so much better."
IMS goes to 12-2 and next plays against Pekin Tuesday at home.

It's been a super busy past few weeks, with events almost every evening and things happening over the weekends. So that's why posting has been so sporadic. When I leave the house at 8:00 a.m. and don't return until 10 or 11 p.m., there's not much time for blogging, regardless of how motivated I want to be! But in the mean-time if you want to see what I am up to, check out my Instagram feed, and my Facebook page. And if you want to shop, check my Etsy page!
I mentioned earlier that I am taking an iPhone photography class and each week, we have an assignment. This sometimes takes me out of my comfort range and I have to use filters and effects. I am much more of a realists, and while I do tweak my images a little, I don't do it to the extent that the teacher wants… until now.
I might be biased, but Maryland has the best state flag. This is above a doorway and is a riff on the flag.
My office is in the Mount Vernon section of Baltimore, and there are loads of gorgeous buildings with fabulous details.
I went to a party at the local Lithuanian Hall a few weeks ago. The building dates from the early 1900's.
I have always loved this old firehouse in downtown Baltimore.
My friend David's Halloween window. Someone said that these were the Ravens' cheerleaders in mourning because we're 1-5 this season!
This was one of my class submissions – one of the halls at Johns Hopkins University where my class is held.
Another submission. The theme was people. This is at the train station.
I am totally smitten with this room at the Carroll Mansion. I adore this chandelier and now its reflection in this old mirror.
Cylburn Arboretum, close to my house. The most gorgeous sunset lit up the changing trees and the historic house beyond.
Not really Baltimore, but my friend's birthday present – two calves. They're about a week old in this picture.
Thanks, as always, for reading! I really appreciate your support over the years.

Gratitude Is One Of The Greatest Human Virtues
By Zile Singh
"Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others." Marcus Tullius Cicero
Gratitude is a feeling and expression of appreciation and thankfulness in exchange for some favour or benefit we receive from others. Gratitude encompasses small and big deeds anywhere, anytime and by anyone. It enriches not only your life but also the life of the person to whom the gratitude is expressed. We can be grateful not only to the human beings but also to the natural phenomena which affect us twenty- four hours. Often times, even circumstances and certain situations can be so effective and favourable that we cannot hold ourselves back without feeling overwhelmed and grateful. In people's life sometimes the failure and bad situation have resulted in teaching a great lesson. Therefore it would not be inappropriate to embrace the slogan, " Be Grateful to Everyone in Every Situation ." Here, a couplet of Satguru Kabir, one of the exponents of the Bhakti Movement in India says, " Nindak niyare rakhiye, angan kutti chhapai; Bin pani bin sabuna, nirmal kare subhav"- let the critics be allowed to stay in your neighbourhood because they can be an instrument of better behaviour for you. They will remind you every moment not to indulge in criticism of others. The experts on the subject have revealed that a feeling of gratitude has many benefits for our body, mind and relationship. According to Albert Einstein, "There are only two ways to live your life. One is, as though, nothing is a miracle. The other is, as though, everything is a miracle". If we live with the first option that 'nothing is a miracle', then we will lose the charm and chivalry and our life will become lonely, secluded and monotonous. If we live with the second option that 'everything is a miracle', then our life will be full of joy, happiness and ecstasy.
Despite the fact that "Gratitude is not only the greatest virtue but the parent of all others", gratitude has remained as one of the most underestimated feelings. Gratitude is a panacea to enrich one's life. Imagine, how elated and happy you will feel when a stranger smiles at you, greet you and hold the door open for you without expecting anything in return. Do not wait for other people to do good to you, be the first one to act upon. The list of persons to be grateful to, is long. Your parents, neighbours, friends, teachers even the God and the environment etc., fall on this list. How you treat your parents will somehow leave an impact on your relationship with your children. It is not necessary that you express gratitude towards your parents when their hair turn gray. The important thing is that it should be done before the time runs out. In addition to parents, teachers play an important role in shaping who you are today. Most of the teachers, besides teaching, motivate and inspire us succeed in life. We owe a lot to our teachers. Gratitude towards our friends also is equally required. Because, " A friend in need is a friend indeed". To remember our teachers and friends on their birthdays and other suitable occasions and sending them 'good wishes' and a small gift will go a long way to express our gratitude towards them.
` One expects gratitude in return for something favourable done to the relatives and friends. On the other hand, an act of gratitude done to a stranger will earn you a farther mileage in the realm of joy, happiness and additional acquaintance. While dining in a community hall, one stranger just asked me whether I need something else on my plate. A conversation started and amazingly the stranger was found to be a relative of one of my friends. A small act of gratitude shown by me expanded our horizon of friendship.
In the heart of hearts, everybody believes in some superpower who has created the universe including the humans. Even otherwise, the universe as such, is a beautiful and mysterious phenomenon to feel grateful to. Nature is working in such a planned way that one can express one's appreciation and amazement for every single incident happening in our day to day life. When we 'count our blessings' we find ourselves in a calmer, freer and happy mood. As per Psalm 107:1 " Oh, give thanks to the Lord, he is Good. For his loving kindness is everlasting." Gratitude is part of Islam- "What can Allah gain by your punishment, if you are grateful and you believe." In Hinduism, " Whatever I am offered in devotion with a pure heart – a leaf, a flower, fruit, or water – I accept with joy." In Sikhism, " Attitude of gratitude brings you opportunities beyond your belief. And when the prayer becomes the vibration of the body, mind the soul, we can create a miracle."
Finally, " Gratitude is the healthiest of all human emotions. The more you express gratitude for what you have, the more likely you will have even more to express gratitude for." Zig Ziglar

Graphite on Paper
8 x 10
Due to the quality of the digital photo the image appears blue but it is a graphite drawing of nice gray values. I will photograph it again tomorrow when the light is better.
My drawings and paintings are small format art works done on a daily basis. They represent common everyday objects but also images I see through my inner eye. Within my abstract pieces, I often play with negative and positive space. Creating illusions within these pieces make the abstract forms appear as if they exist on a concrete, physical plain. Both Escher and Dali have had a strong influence upon my abstract work. My highly realistic pieces include portraiture to numerous small objects.

The culture is Buddhism, with close cultural and trading ties with Tibet. The scenery provides an ever changing experience - from the many lush river valleys connected by high altitude passes, to the stark, barren plateau with nomadic villages and herders, all complimented with the high Himalayan peaks in the background. The region has many whitewashed gompas (monasteries) and forts perched on rocky outcrops. High Himalayan Passes - There are several high altitude passes en route to Leh - Rohtang La (13050 ft / 3978 m), Baralacha La (16050 ft / 4890 m), Lachalung La (16600 ft /5065 m) and Taglang La (17480 ft /5328 m).

The Taj was constructed by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal, between 1632 and 1653.
