About Lynn LeTourneau
Artist Statement
Painting abstractly connects me to an intuitive, emergent source. A visual language of personal and archetypal images will appear bridging the inner and outer worlds. I rely on my heart, body and instincts to guide me. I discern, make choices and the painting mirrors back to me how to proceed. Applying rhythmic layers of color onto canvas, I make use of a variety of tools such as the palette knife, rubber tips, pastel, acrylic and oil paint. The surface itself can tell a story as much as the colors that are used.
These paintings are reflections that mirror our commonality. This is where the real magic occurs and is deeply satisfying when the viewer connects to my art and understands yes, I know what this feels like.
"Angel Wing" expresses the dynamic experience of a wing opening, ready to fly and soar over our personal worlds to witness a more comprehensive view. Master painters such as Henri Matisse, Willem De Kooning, Gerhard Richter and Zhu Dequn have been inspirational for my artwork. Harmonic playful and contextual interplays of color begin to demonstrate the infinite stream of information in the abstract universe of paint and canvas.
Lynn LeTourneau's paintings are abstract, energetic and colorful diving into the essence of life.
Lynn is teaching a class Painting Inside/Out that is a four step process to connect to your Inner Muse and find your Unique Voice in paint. She wishes to share what she has learned with her community so they too can discover a sense of creative freedom, confidence and joy in self-expression. She is presently involved in developing a website EvolutionArt - a global call to artists of all media whose intention is to shift our world view for the good of the whole.
She has exhibited in museums and galleries here in the USA as well as throughout Argentina and Italy and is represented by Trevisan, an international art community shown in galleries, museums and catalogues. Her artwork has been selected for several publications published by World Wide Art Books, Trevisan International and a Swiss magazine RivierArt.
Represented by Studio 26, Lynn LeTourneau showed her paintings at the LA Art Show, the Art Expo NY and the Affordable Art Fair and with Studio 26 Gallery, Brooklyn, NYC. She is presently represented in Laguna Beach with an art representative.
Lynn is a juried member of the Santa Barbara Abstract Art Collective , Carpinteria Arts Center and the Santa Barbara Art Association. She is an affiliate of Bell Arts Factory.
Ms. LeTourneau is a New York City native who studied at the Arts Students League and the Boston Museum School of Fine Arts.
Lynn paints and teaches classes at the Bell Arts Factory, Studio 84, Ventura, California. Her work can be found in galleries along the California Coast and is enjoyed by many collectors.
Art Review by Paola Trevisan, Trevisan International Art www.trevisan-international-art.com/
Lynn Le Tourneau's paintings are filled with an element of magnetism and color that is not confined by the two-dimensional nature of the canvas, and produces works with great communicative power: they are the result of her freely surrendering and being guided by intuitions that come from her unconscious mind but also from her irrepressible desire to look deeply into her own soul. Perhaps it is the art itself that suggests this unconfined reflection? The artist wants to discover sensations, feelings, hazy or forgotten memories buried or hidden in the innermost recesses of her inner world. And so images, scenes and traces of memory emerge from her subconscious via this introspective route, and are effectivey delivered on to the canvas by vibrant abstractions, full of color and gestural expressiveness.
The artist pursues a constant innovative and experimental search under the influence of the impulses that she also receives from the irrestible draw of nature. Immersed in her vital energy, in its charm, and at the same time, in her own inner imagination, she gives us unique works of intense lyricism held in a moment of eternity. Vivid interplay of light penetrates through the vibrant, formal compositions of color to display the different washes of paint: the use of sharp gestural expressiveness accentuates the harmonious, shifting effects of light, making the resultant picture fascinating and captivating. Her works, saturated in color, capture the intense rhythm and subtle balance created by the skillful, decisive hand of the artist: in a clearly perceptible arrangement that reveals the inner, deeper accord, it produces paintings full of dynamism and nuance.
The artist feels totally at ease ranging across the palette of differnet tones that stand out and interact in her paintings: from the strong, bold shades of red, yellow, blue and orange to the paler and more delicate hues.
In the work of Lynn Le Tourneau the emotional value responds not only to the purely pictorial needs but also those of communication: it leads to a profound, refined abstractionism where spirituality, the sublime and perception are intertwined to encounter our senses by merging into an inviting melody.

Internet users love Netgear wireless routers for the amazing performance and terrific wireless speed. But at times, there can be wireless or internet issues due to various reasons. These include changes made recently to device or computer settings, outdated drivers, connection problems and more. With the following tips, you can fix and scan connection problems by yourself without opting for Netgear technical support.
Deactivate the devices
Turn off every device, first your computer, then the router and lastly the modem. Wait for around 20 to 30 seconds. Then you have to turn back the devices in the same order. Connect to the web and find out whether or not the issue has been solved. It is the widest and most basic technique to resolve common issues with connection, as it helps remove existing settings and restart the connection again. In case this fails to resolve the issue, use the following method.
Update your router driver
Use the Netgear router login IP address to visit the official Netgear website and update your router drivers. Check whether there are any driver updates available for download. Download and set up any drivers you can find. Reboot all your devices, if prompted. Also run the Windows Update and download as well as set up all the newest updates. When prompted, restart your computer. Also upgrade the firmware of your router.
Check the connection
Check whether or not you have a wired connection. Connect the Ethernet cable to your router and computer to convert your wireless PC to a wired PC. In case of a wired connection, any of the steps given here can be followed. You should also ensure that the network cable is not damaged or broken, and contact your ISP if even this fails to resolve connection drop problems.
Log into the router interface
Use a wired connection and log into the interface of the router to review the settings. You can d this by opening your web browser and type the Netgear router login IP address 192.168.2.1 into the URL bar. Press the Enter key. Once you are there, enter the login information and press Enter. Review your login settings and modify them if you need. For instance, change or assign SSD, access point, WPA, security key WEP, mode, channel numbers etc.
Restore your computer
If you have made some changes recently to your PC, you can undo them by opting for system restore to a better time. This should fix the problems due to the changes.

Melting Ice and Sea Level Rise
Lesson 1 of 10
Objective: SWBAT design an experiment to model and measure impact of sea level rise from ice melt.
There are two warnings about melting ice and rising oceans: one is by land, the other, by sea. But it's ice sheets on land, not icebergs in the ocean, that are the biggest contributors to sea level rise.
Land ice includes mountain glaciers and ice sheets, covering Greenland and Antarctica. These giant blocks of ice are melting and the water is flowing rapidly into the oceans. Think of it like adding water to an already full glass — it soon overflows. But melting sea ice behaves differently. Axel Schweiger is a researcher at the University of Washington.
SCHWEIGER: "Melting sea ice has no impact on sea level rise because it's already floating in the ocean."
Think of as like a glass of ice water. As it warms, the ice in the glass melts, but the total volume of water does not change. However, melting sea ice does contribute to climate change. That's because white sea ice reflects the sun. So when it melts, the dark open ocean now absorbs sunlight and heats up, raising global temperatures, which in turn cause glaciers and ice sheets on land to melt further. Globally, sea levels have risen four to eight inches since the last century and will continue to rise as the ice melts, putting coastal communities worldwide at risk.

In this lab, students explore this phenomena using a simple lab set up.
Materials (for each group)
- Two 1-Liter Beakers
- Two 150-mL (milliliter) Beakers
- Crushed Ice
- Plastic wrap
- Sand
- Water
- Graduated Cylinder or beaker for measuring out 300 mL of water
- Ruler
I begin this class with a thought experiment by asking students to think about the following scenario, then write a response in their journals before turning and talking to a neighbor about their ideas.
The Too-Full Glass of Water
Show the image below while you narrate the story:
"You place four ice cubes into a glass and fill it with cold tap water to the brim. Using an eyedropper or spoon, you add even more water to make the glass as full as possible.
Predict what you think will happen as the ice melts. Will the glass overflow? Why or why not? Write down your prediction and explain your thinking. "
- Label the one 1L beaker "Sea Ice" and a second 1L beaker "Land Ice".
- Fill each of the 150 mL beakers with equal amounts of sand.
- Cover each sand-filled beaker with plastic wrap. Tape the bottom of the plastic wrap to secure it in place.
- Place a sand-filled beaker in each 1L beaker.
- Next, SLOWLY pour 300 mL of water into each of the 1L beakers. Be careful not to disturb the sand.
- Measure and record this original level (depth) of water in each beaker and record in table.
- In "Sea Ice" beaker, add crushed ice cubes (3-4 ice cubes equiv.) to the water around the 150 mL beaker. This represents floating (sea) ice.
- In "Land Ice" beaker, place the same amount of crushed ice on top of the plastic wrap. This represents land ice.
- Place both 2L beakers outside or under a lamp.
- Check the water level and ice every ten minutes throughout the session and record your observations on the data table. Record remaining ice as a % of total ice. You start with 100%.
Below is an image of the experimental set up. We were able to use snow in place of ice.
In the image below you can see the results a student got using compacted snow. Notice the rate of melt of sea ice versus land ice and the corresponding ending water levels.

Resources (1)
Wrap up this lesson by asking students to read and answer questions related to the reading. See the attached handout on melting ice.
This reading helps to drive in home the change in glaciers and connect this melting ice to sea level rise. Since we are talking about the inputs and outputs of a system and the relationship of the parts to the outcomes, this is a great opportunity to have students build causal loop diagrams.
Causal loop diagrams help students make connections between elements in a story and identify the relationships between each of the elements.
I have included a link PBS Learning Media's page on Understanding Causal Loops, a great place to start learning the basics of Systems Thinking.
I have students share out their causal loop diagrams with the class. In the image below, one of my students is sharing her diagram.
Below are images of student completed work:

As we enter the most intense period of the American political cycle — Ppresidential election season — it's worth reminding ourselves that not everything is political. This may sound obvious enough, but lately the line between politics and everything else has become blurred.
Driving into Evergreen this past weekend was a great pleasure. Spring has used her magic to turn the otherwise dreary day into a splash of color and beauty. The stream valleys were fringed with chartreuse lace as the willow's golden twigs put out new green leaves, bringing color to every creek. It happens every spring, but I never tire of its glory. The streams are so proud of their new chartreuse dress that they dance all the way down to the plains.
A ripping yarn
Jon Cohen couldn't have been more proud of the Evergreen Cougars' boys lacrosse team. For a team he thought was looking at a .500 season at best to step up and win 10 consecutive games in 2012 and 11 overall was overachieving at its best. And yet there was some mild suprise when the Cougars, who won 11 of their first 12 games, stumbled all the way to a No. 23 seed in this year's 24-team postseason tournament. Three straight losses and a third-place finish in the Foothills Conference will do that.
DENVER — Emilee Greagor and Emily Greene had little time to feel elation or pity for themselves. After all, it was prom night. But Evergreen's No. 2 doubles team didn't have to feel sorry for themselves anyway. Despite a 6-4, 6-1 loss to Katie Fischer and Kyla Sherap of Colorado Academy in the 4A Region 1 finals May 4, the Lady Cougars, because of their second-place finish, are headed to state.
CONIFER — Settling for a tie can be somewhat unfulfilling, but don't tell that to the Conifer Lady Lobos. Leading scorer Emily Walderman punched home a penalty-kick goal — her 18th score of the season — in the 47th minute as Conifer scored a 1-1 tie with rival Evergreen in the second annual Mountain Cup on May 2 at Lobo Field. For a team that made the postseason for the first time in four years in 2011, this was Conifer's playoff game in 2012.
Following complaints about a board member's behavior, the Jefferson County School District will host another community meeting to discuss its upcoming budgets. The meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. May 14 at Evergreen Middle School. The first community meeting April 28 at Evergreen Middle School was moderated by board member Laura Boggs. Several groups complained to the board May 3 about Boggs' behavior during the community forum.
Incumbent Janet Heck Doyle was re-elected to a second four-year term on the Evergreen Park and Recreation District board on Tuesday, and Andrew Adamowski won the second available seat.
According to unofficial results, Adamowski led the three-way race for the two board seats with 361 votes, and Doyle garnered 288. Keith Parker finished a distant third with 162 votes.
"I look forward to serving the community on the board for the next four years," said Adamowski. "I'd like to thank everyone who came out to vote."
Candidates for two seats on the Evergreen Park and Recreation District board voiced support for preserving open spaces and developing trail connections during a forum sponsored by the Canyon Courier on May 3 at the Evergreen Lake House.
Incumbent board members Janet Heck Doyle and Peter Lindquist participated in the forum along with candidates Keith Parker and Andrew Adamowski. In the May 8 election, Adamowski, Doyle and Parker are vying for two seats; Lindquist is running unopposed for a two-year term.
The list of candidates to become Evergreen's new fire chief has been narrowed to two, both internal applicants. Mike Weege, an assistant chief, and Doug Saba, public information officer, were interviewed by the Evergreen Fire Protection District board in a public meeting on May 8.
Board President George Kling said the board would probably make a final selection at the Thursday, May 10, meeting.

Taking Stock: Assessing the Institutionalization of Civic Engagement Cathy Burack, Senior Research Associate for Higher Education, Brandeis University; Senior Associate, New England Resource Center for Higher Education (NERCHE) John Saltmarsh, Director, New England Resource Center for Higher Education (NERCHE, U Mass Boston)
Assessment Quality and outcomes can best be measured through structured assessment activities that generate and use "information about performance so that it is fed back into the system from which it comes to improve that system." Barbara Cambridge (1999). Effective Assessment, in Bringle, et al., Colleges and Universities as Citizens.
Pressure for Change: Why Engagement in Higher Education? Demographic pressures on American Higher Education Growing interdependent, global, transnational consciousness Emergence of diversity as an educational value and catalyst What we are learning about learning Workplace pressures to know how to work collaboratively and solve problems in teams Development in the disciplines and creation of new (problem- centered) interdisciplinary fields Broadening definitions of scholarship and what is rewarded Strong civic engagement initiatives R. Eugene Rice
What We Know About Institutional Change Change requires a fundamental shift of perspective Change must be systemic Change requires people to relearn their own roles. Change require constant and consistent leadership Change requires systematic ways to measure progress and guide improvement. Change require a visible "triggering" opportunity. Peter Ewell, Organizing for Learning, AAHE Bulletin, Dec. 1997.
Defining Civic Engagement
Civic Engagement "Civic engagement means working to make a difference in the civic life of our communities and developing the combination of knowledge, skills, values and motivation to make that difference." Thomas Ehrlich, et. al., Civic Responsibility and Higher Education (2000)
Civic Engagement "By engagement, we refer to institutions that have redesigned their teaching, research, and extension and service functions to become even more sympathetically and productively involved with their communities… Close partnerships with the surrounding community help demonstrate that higher education is about important values such as informed citizenship and a sense of responsibility. The newer forms of public scholarship and community-based learning help produce civic-minded graduates who are as well prepared to take up the complex problems of our society as they are to succeed in their careers." American Association of State Colleges and Universities. 1999. Stewards of Place.
Civic Engagement Civic engagement means creating opportunities for civic learning that are rooted in respect for community-based knowledge, experiential and reflective modes of teaching and learning, active participation in American democracy, and institutional renewal that supports these elements.
Civic Engagement One Institution's Definition of Civic Engagement – Civic engagement is (a) active collaboration (b) that builds on the resources, skills, expertise, and knowledge of the campus and community (c) to improve the quality of life in communities (d) in a manner that is consistent with the campus mission (IUPUI, 2002)
Service-Learning In the case of civic engagement, service learning constitutes a necessary component of achievement because, when service learning is institutionalized on a campus (i.e., integral, enduring, and meaningful to all stakeholders), it produces transformations of the work of colleges and universities on the broader spectrum of civic engagement. Bringle, Hatcher, Hamilton, and Young (2001). Planning and Assessing campus/community engagement, Metropolitan Universities.
CIRCLE OF CIVIC ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITIES Economic Development Lifelong Learning Extended Programs Faculty Outreach Internships/Coop Curricular Service-Learning Cultural Programs Other Co-Curricular Service-Learning Community-based Research
What is the Compelling Interest for Civic Engagement? The Civic Purpose of Higher Education (the mission pathway) Improved Teaching and Learning (the pedagogical pathway) Connecting to the community for the benefit of the campus and the community (the partnership pathway)
The Civic Purpose of Higher Education (the mission pathway) "Unless education has some frame of reference it is bound to be aimless, lacking a unified objective. The necessity for a frame of reference must be admitted. There exists in this country such a unified frame. It is called democracy." John Dewey (1937)
Improved Teaching and Learning (the pedagogical pathway) "The epistemology appropriate to [engaged teaching and scholarship] must make room for the practitioner's reflection in and on action. It must account for and legitimize not only the use of knowledge produced in the academy, but the practitioner's generation of actionable knowledge." Donald Schön, The New Scholarship Requires a New Epistemology, Change, 1995 "People worldwide need a whole series of new competencies...But I doubt that such abilities can be taught solely in the classroom, or be developed solely by teachers. Higher order thinking and problem solving skills grow out of direct experience, not simply teaching; they require more than a classroom activity. They develop through active involvement and real life experiences in workplaces and the community." John Abbott, Director of Britain's Education 2000 Trust, Interview with Ted Marchese, AAHE Bulletin, 1996
Connecting to the community for the benefit of the campus and the community (the partnership pathway) American colleges and universities are "one of the greatest hopes for intellectual and civic progress in this country. I am convinced that for this hope to be fulfilled, the academy must become a more vigorous partner in the search for answers to our most pressing social, civic, economic, and moral problems, and must reaffirm its historic commitment to what I call the scholarship of engagement." Ernest Boyer, The Scholarship of Engagement. 1995. "Knowledge - particularly useful knowledge that can be applied in the economy and society – is something more than highly intellectualized, analytical, and symbolic material. It includes working knowledge, a component of experience, of hands-on practice knowledge." Mary Walshok, Knowledge Without Boundaries. 1995

Indicators of Engagement Campus Compact Operationalized Indicators A. Mission and Purpose The institution's mission statement explicitly articulates its commitment to the public purposes of higher education and is deliberate about educating students for lifelong participation in their communities. This aspect of the mission is openly valued and is explicitly used to promote and to explain the civic engagement and community building activities on and off campus. The institution demonstrates a genuine willingness to review, discuss, and strengthen its commitment to civic engagement and community building. All members of the campus community demonstrate their familiarity with and ownership of the institution's mission.
Indicators of Engagement Campus Compact Operationalized Indicators F. Faculty Roles and Rewards The institution's tenure, promotion, and/or retention guidelines reward a range of scholarly activities such as those proposed by Ernest Boyer (1990), including community-based teaching and scholarship. Faculty data forms, annual reports, and mandatory evaluations all include sections related to civic engagement, community-based teaching and research, professional service, and/or other forms of academically based public work The institution explicitly encourages academic departments to include community-based interests and experience as criteria in their faculty recruiting efforts.
Indicators of Engagement Campus Compact Operationalized Indicators G. Support Structures and Resources Faculty and students are kept well informed of the resources available to support community-based work. These resources are effectively included in all faculty and student orientation programs. The institution has developed a full range of forms and procedures that allow it to organize and document community-based work. The institution recognizes the unpredictable nature of work in the community and attempts to provide flexible scheduling options for faculty and students. The institution maintains a centralized office or center that is clearly aligned with academic affairs and is committed to community-based teaching and learning.

New Elective Carnegie Classification – Community Engagement Community Engagement describes the collaboration between higher education institutions and their larger communities (local, regional/state, national, global) for the mutually beneficial exchange of knowledge and resources in a context of partnership and reciprocity.
New Elective Carnegie Classification – Community Engagement INSTITUTIONAL IDENTITY AND CULTURE INSTITUTIONAL COMMITMENT These indicators must be demonstrated by both required and optional documentation. For example, one requirement for the latter is that the campus must show that its mission "communicates that community engagement is a priority." Carnegie Endowment for the Advancement of Teaching
New Elective Carnegie Classification – Community Engagement CURRICULAR ENGAGEMENT OUTREACH AND PARTNERSHIPS Institutions will select the appropriate category with which to describe the campus engagement with community or decide to demonstrate both categories. The documentation process is extensive and substantive, focused on significant qualities, activities, and institutional provisions that insure an institutionalized approach to community engagement. Carnegie Endowment for the Advancement of Teaching
New Elective Carnegie Classification – Community Engagement Curricular Engagement describes teaching, learning, and scholarship which engage faculty, students, and community in mutually beneficial and respectful collaboration. Their interactions address community identified needs, deepen students' civic and academic learning, enhance the well-being of the community, and enrich the scholarship of the institution. Carnegie Endowment for the Advancement of Teaching
New Elective Carnegie Classification – Community Engagement Outreach and Partnership describe two different but related approaches to community engagement. The first focuses on the application and provision of institutional resources for community use benefiting both campus and community. The latter focuses on collaborative interactions with community and related scholarship for the mutually beneficial exchange, exploration, discovery, and application of knowledge, information, and resources (e.g.. research, economic development, capacity building, etc.) and related scholarship. Carnegie Endowment for the Advancement of Teaching
Lessons Learned from Assessing Institutionalization of Civic Engagement
Lessons Learned Assumptions about how change happens Understanding what drives change. Clear definitions commonly understood Adapting tools for unique campus culture Amount of time it take for a change effort to take place, minimum 3-5 year time period Not linear (new president, loss of funding)
Institutionalization Institutionalization requires the kind of approach to institutional transformation suggested by Peter Ewell, which he describes as requiring "working on multiple components of an institution simultaneously...change is more likely to succeed if it is implemented systematically." "Achieving High Performance: The Policy Dimension," in Teirney, ed., The Responsive University, 1998)
What Drives Institutionalization? Mission Campus leadership Deep, active, relevant learning Expanding view of scholarship Public accountability Accreditation standards (IUPUI)
Civic Engagement Engagement has become "shorthand for describing a new era of two-way partnership between America's colleges and universities and the publics they serve…while that breadth fosters great diversity of activity, it also presents the risk that the term can say everything and nothing at the same time…the lack of clear definition can leave some campuses and their leaders with the impression that they are 'doing engagement,' when in fact they are not." AASCU 2002
Key Questions How is "civic engagement" defined? What is driving your efforts – what are the forces for engagement? What are the challenges in the present phase of your civic engagement institutionalization? What efforts have been made in assessing civic engagement?

What I Did On My Summer Vacation
I remember being in grade school and having to write a 1-2 page paper on that exact topic every year.
Here is a quick (ok, maybe not-so-quick) summary of my summer.
School got out on June 13th and we quickly zipped over the the airport to meet a 10 year old girl from Borodyanka Ukraine. Diana was with us for 6 weeks to let her body "reboot" itself from the damage that living in constant radiation does. They are in zone 2 of the Chernobyl area…so they also get free dental, vision and health screenings while here and English Lessons!
Dental work in their area is pitiful — they do NOT numb kids up before pulling teeth or doing fillings, so these children arrive TERRIFIED of the dental part of their visit. No worries — it's a great experience for them and my church is working on upgrading their dental preventative care over there.
Here are some pictures of the silly and simple things we did with her: farmer's market, Vilas Zoo, Cook outs, Parades, Fireworks, eating out, Doing the Home Depot Workshop, going to the Dells and more.
After that, it was time for Vacation Bible Camp – where I am a craft co-ordinator! All the great things for kids like great counselors, fun food, campfires, games, crafts and swimming and new friends!
All of this at the beautiful Bethel Horizons property!
OK, week at the cabin with my Father In Law — it's an annual thing and the cabin we get is usually larger than my house! It's a week of great food, a fire in the fireplace and silly time:
Then came our Orlando Trip! We stayed and played at the Coco Key Waterpark resort, hit a fun dinner show and even got a private tour at Universal Studios (more coming on that)
Then Nashville — staying at the incredible Gaylord Grand Old Opry, and enjoying an AMAZING view as well as a dinner ride/show one of the 10 paddle boats left in the world. Fun fact: That hotel is the largest in the US that isn't attached to a casino! We also made sure to hit the Picadilly Cafeteria (It's a southern thing…)
I did travel more than that — Washington DC, Hershey PA and even New York City — but those are stories for another day.
What did you do on YOUR summer vacation?
How To Save Money Booking A Hotel
How to Save Money Booking a Hotel
For anyone planning a vacation, or even a business trip, it is likely that the greatest on-going expense is the cost of a hotel. A savings if even $10 a night can really add up quickly if one is going to be on the road for a week or more.
Here are some proven tips that can help:
1) Check On-Line, Then Call –
The major travel sites such as Expedia or Hotels(dot)com will list prices and availability for hotels. Be aware of two things: they may only have access to a limited number of rooms at a given hotel. If the website shows it is sold out, it may only be sold out to them. Also, that price is a negotiated price. After checking the price, call the hotel directly and ask if there is a better price for those dates.
2) Name All Organizations –
Hotels often have bands of prices with better rates available for members of large companies, service clubs, labor unions or political parties. Always ask for the Corporate Rate. If the desk or reservations clerk asks, start naming your affiliations.
3) Independents are Flexible –
Chain hotels often have their rates set by their central office, so an individual franchise may not have flexibility. Independent hotels, however, do set their own rate. During slower times, the traveler may well be able to negotiate a rate 5-10% below what is advertised.
4) Check That Wallet –
Hotels often have discounted rates for specific kinds of credit cards, or members of groups like the AAA. Look at what cards there are filling up the side pockets of the wallet or purse, then ask.
5) Is Booking Ahead Cheaper? –
It is always advisable to book reservations in advance. Do not assume that, for example, a Tuesday through Thursday travel time is a hotel's slow period. It may be filled with business travelers. So do book ahead, but when doing so, ask if the rate agreed upon will be the same rate on check-in and will the traveler get the rate on check-in day it is lower? Then, if the answer is in the affirmative, ask for a confirmation email of that.
These tips will really lower the cost of travel.
Enjoy the stay!
HOT! Upright Luggage $22.97 – Marked Down From $120!
Ooh, this is a HOT deal. I might be biased, because I just randomly booked a trip to Florida this week. I can't wait to go in September and I'm obsessed with all things travel right now. Airlines are pretty picky about the dimensions of your carry on bags and your checked luggage. If you're looking for new luggage for an upcoming trip, check this out. Bon Ton sells a line of upright luggage called the Leisure Bayside Luggage Collection and it normally retails from $50-$120 depending on the size. Today you can choose any pattern and any size for only $22.97! To maximize this deal, buy the bigger suitcases which normally retail for the higher ticket price.

10 Tips To Making Healthy Choices While on the Road
10 Tips To Making Healthy Choices While on the Road
Business travelers are consistently battling with eating out, lack of routine, snacking and open invitations to grabbing a drink during happy hour. Don't get me wrong though the hotels, room service and butter soaked steak dinners are well worth it but maybe not to the waistline.
I've put together 10 tips to help you stick to your eating plan and lose weight while on the road. Try to get a hotel room with a fridge or pack a cooler in hopes to save a little money and a few calories!
- Water – stay hydrated and bring a water bottle with you, a rule of thumb is to drink half your body weight in ounces of water every day. For example a 100 pound person would need to take in 50 ounces of water a day.
- Snacks – pack travel friendly snacks like almonds, protein bars, dried fruit, apples and even some veggies!
- Eating out – skip the deep-fried foods and opt for additional veggies on the side and skip the bread
- Make healthier meal choices – get your protein in the morning so you are fuller longer and opt for salads and lighter fares for lunch.
- Eating out portions – Ask for a to go container with your meal and package half when the meal arrives, therefore you won't over eat and have a meal for the next day.
- Head to a local grocery store – grab some healthy snacks and supplies so you can eat in your room instead of going out for every meal like salads, deli meats and wraps.
- Stay active – Don't depend on going to the gym chances are you'll be way too busy instead choose alternatives like taking the stairs, going for a walk on lunch break and walking to meals instead of driving or cabbing it.
- Avoid happy hour it might be rude to skip it but stick to one drink or order club soda and lime (everyone will think its vodka), cutting your calories and avoiding the alcohol!
- Get enough sleep – make sure you get a solid 6-8 hours of sleep at night, if you're overtired you'll eat more plus if you get more sleep you'll be more productive during the day
- It's ok to say no – we've all been there just "one more drink" or "its only dessert" don't feel bad because you're saying no. Celebrate in the fact that you know you're body and won't beat yourself up for having that extra helping of dessert when you get home!
Even the best thought out plans can go wrong while you're on the road. Just make the decision of choosing healthier choices while you're away from home. When all else fails drink more water and take the stairs!

In her latest memoir, French-Canadian memoirist Lauren Slater describes her struggle with epilepsy and her eventual cure through psychotherapy and medication.
If someone tells you that what she is going to tell you is not true, then listening is a difficult project. You wonder what truth there is in what you are being told, and why she is telling you things that are not true, and you wonder whether maybe she was lying about lying. It puts you in a distracted, distrustful frame of mind, and it is hard to follow the details.
With the very title of her new memoir, Slater loudly announces that it is not true. Not only that, but she also explains how her duplicity is integral to her personality, and thus, by lying, she is being true to herself, or at least, true to her illness, whatever it might be. Furthermore, she discusses the nature of the memoir in the memoir itself. Readers might be forgiven for feeling not only confused, but a little manipulated.
Quite a bit of Lying seems to be true. For instance, her affair, at seventeen years old, with a well-known married author and father of two, whom she calls "Christopher Marin." Marin is a cad who takes her virginity; not only that, she describes him having anal sex with her. On Amazon.com, one of the readers' comments is from a Christopher Marin, who praises the book highly, and confirms the relationship, although he denies the part about anal sex. So I'm more inclined to believe that she really had an affair with a famous novelist. Of course, maybe the comment by Marin on Amazon.com is a fake, placed by Slater or someone else. Once you know a person is a liar, it is hard to believe anything she says without a nagging doubt at the back of your head. There's another reader comment on Amazon.com by an Oliver Saks: was this placed by some wit wanting to increase the post-modern playfulness by pretending to be Oliver Sacks? Will future jokers add reader comments by S. Freud and B. Clinton?
There are other clues in the text about when she is lying: for example, it is pretty clear that her neurologist "Carlos Neu, M.D." does not exist. She comes close to saying so herself. Chapter Five is an 8-page paper by Dr. Neu on his epileptic patient LJS, but no acknowledgement appears on the copyright page thanking the publisher of the journal for permission to reprint the article. Later in the book she describes an episode where she shows a university counselor the article, and the counselor points out that the article could not possibly be genuine.
What this memoir does convey is a sense of emptiness. Through her tenuous connection with truth-telling, Slater gives a strong impression that she doesn't quite know who she is. She tells stories because she likes using words; they give her a sensual pleasure. Her own account of what she is doing is that she is telling a narrative truth, going beyond the stupid facts and highlighting something more important. Maybe it's precisely the sense of emptiness that she wishes to convey.
As is generally the case, the blurb on the inside cover exaggerates: it claims that Slater "forces us to redraw the boundary between what we know as fact and what we believe we create as fiction." Maybe Slater wrote her own blurb: as she herself says in Chapter 1 (which consists of a two word sentence), "I exaggerate." But after reading it the boundary between fact and fiction is untouched. As with Irvin Yalom's latest book, Slater does make her reader contemplate what a memoir aims to achieve.
There are plenty of reasons when writing a memoir to hide the truth. One doesn't want to hurt people by telling personal facts about them or breach confidentiality. More than that, writing about oneself requires a huge ego, and a certain readiness to distort the facts suggests a healthy modesty. It is also frightening to reveal oneself to others, because it makes one vulnerable, and to include an escape clause saying that some of one's self-description is false enables one to hide. Although Slater doesn't say so, it is easy to imagine that these reasons are factors in her decision to lie.
But there may be a deeper idea behind Slater's experiment, that it is impossible to tell the full truth in a memoir, or rather, the very ideal of "the essential personal truth" is illusory. The idea of "the truth behind depression" or "the truth behind borderline personality disorder" may sell books, but it needs to be viewed with great suspicion. I'd suggest that not only are there a multiplicity of facts to be given, rather than any one central fact, but more important, the prioritizing of one stance or fact over another in the telling of a story is always ideologically loaded. The essence of a mental illness is, in a sense, a cultural construct, and to buy into any particular narrative approach is to give that construct greater solidity or credence. It is more honest to emphasize uncertainty.
I love reading memoirs. At the same time, given the huge number of memoirs published, and the commercial pressures to make them upbeat and informative, I very much like the fact that Slater is going against the grain, and is raising important, philosophical questions.
The first sentence of this review contains a falsehood. More than that, I cannot say.

the appeal of a mini laptop
Ever since the new kind of mini laptops have come out, I've been intrigued. I use my laptop all the time and I love it, but lately, I've not been able to take it with me on any of my trips since it's just too much to carry along with little E's stuff. But, if I had something like one of the new hp mini laptops I wonder if I could have carried one with me in my purse itself. I could then not have such a backlog of mails to get to once I get back home and could send out photos sooner. But on the other hand, this way without a traveling laptop, I get to be completely offline for a while, which is a huge relaxation in itself.

The Huawei Mate 9 has inherited and then improved upon the styling synonymous with the Mate series, with the slick design offering a clean and refined look. Plentiful connectivity options ensure ease of use while the Mate 9 delivers exceptional photography results thanks to its Dual Leica Lens camera system.
A Step Ahead
Eye Catching Photography
Huawei's Mate 9 feature the 2nd generation Leica Dual Camera offering a 12MP colour sensor and a 20MP monochrome sensor for stunning colours. Night shoots look better than ever with both lenses doubling image brightness in low light conditions, and you can now record video in 4K to capture everything down to the smallest detail.
Enhanced Power
A 4000mAh battery along with energy saving design and technology allows the Huawei Mate 9 to go up to two days between charges when needed, and Huawei's SuperCharge technology enables you to charge your phone at supreme speed, allowing you to continue usage without being tethered to a power point for significant periods.
Reliable Security
The Huawei Mate 9 uses a 4 Level Fingerprint sensor to restrict access to your encrypted files, but still allows fast access for when you need your files quickly at hand. A privacy space can be set up that grants one touch access, and a second space can also be set up for a second fingerprint for further protection.
Speed and Smarts
The Huawei Mate 9 64GB uses a Kirin 960 processor to deliver super fast speeds so you can run apps, videos and HD games easily without compromising performance. Huawei's Machine Learning Algorithm anticipates which apps you will use and prioritises hardware resources based on your habits to bring you even faster boot up speeds..
Slick Interface
EMUI 5.0 has been meticulously deigned to offer an intuitive and enjoyable user interface, offering easy and straightforward access to your favourite apps, notifications and shortcuts. Most options can be accessed in as little as three steps, while transitions, animations and sound effects bring beauty and simplicity to your experience with the Huawei Mate 9.

The "Everybody Do The Flop" guy failed standing up school.
- He decided that he wouldn't let it set him back and became a dance sensation.
The Pointless Button released the Mine Turtles.
- I always thought the Pointless Button caused the piano to drop on the Science Show guy. Hey, nobody said all the skits were in chronological order.
- I think the pointless button was pretty much just pointless.
- Perhaps the button did both.
- Seeing as how the entire video series is completely random and pointless, perhaps the pointless button was the ORIGIN OF ASDF!
The skateboarder from asdfmovie4 accidentally ran into a Mine Turtle.
- What other kinds of mines ARE there in asdfland?
- Have you seen the song about the Mine Turtle?
The I Like Trains Kid is a Time Lord
- That does seem to explain how he survives
- Would the train be his TARDIS?
The burger is made of horsemeat
- Related to the huge scandal about horsemeat being found in processed food in the UK (Where TomSka lives) and Ireland. That, and the large amount of jokes about horsemeat in the video comments.
The plane baby was the I Like Trains Kid's older brother.
- The plane baby died in the 9/11 attacks (which he caused), shortly after ILTK was born. Which is why they never appear together.
All the skits truly end with the Mine Turtle exploding
- In other words, what is shown in the "Mine Turtle" video is canon.
- I Like Trains Kid is the Sole Survivor (since he's the only one not shown getting blown up).
- It explains how Desmond got on the moon, as well as how the trains appear
All Muffin gags are related
- The Muffin saw his father die in the first movie, and he abandoned his family.
- Nobody would take him seriously due to his voice, and he didn't get hired for a long time.
- The Muffin Factory mentioned in 5 was where he ended up. Upon seeing the horrors of the industry (it was all cloning based, which is both why he was hired and why they would never run out), he set out on a suicide quest.
- See Asdf Movie 7.
The "I Like Trains" kid is a young Claire Stanfield.
They're both weird, kind of homicidal and like trains.
The muffin isn't suicidal.
The spirit of a child is trapped inside the muffin. Destroying the muffin will let his spirit return to his body or generally move on. The easiest way to do this would be to get eaten, and he may have an aversion to harming himself. He doesn't realize how creepy he's being because he knows that shuffling off his muffin coil will get him out of his bizarre limbo, and thinks that would be obvious to other people.
asdfmovie10 will be released on May 30, 2016.
- In the asdfmovie9 preview, on of the comments that's on the screen for a split second says "When is ASDF Movie 10?" the name given for the person who wrote the comments is may30twenty16. Time will tell if this comes true or not.
- Jossed. May 30 has come and gone, and no asdfmovie10.
The man in asdfmovie8 is actually a cow.
- I know it sounds a bit strange, but I have a feeling he isn't really a man.
'Tom' who created the Mine Turtle is actually Yoshikage Kira
- It could be a friendlier,completely independent Sheer Heart Attack.
