Hello, friends!
It's been awhile since I added material to my blog and I apologize for that. I was trying so hard to focus on school that some of my extracurricular activities took a lot of downtime. Well, incase you missed it, school is no longer a factor for me. I am now pursuing photography as my career. Good bye dentistry and hello imagery! I've been up to a little bit since I started making this transition. First and foremost, I started a Kickstarter campaign for a book complete with my work. If you want to learn even more about that then you should check out the interview I did with 500px. Secondly, I've since added some new gear to my collection. A Canon 5DS R and bought into the Fujifilm X system. Since getting into Fuji's system, I've been contacted by their US offices and am currently developing a working relationship with them. I only want you to be aware of that so that you have full disclosure when reading reviews like the one I just did for the X-T1. That being said, I wouldn't work with a company that I didn't feel produced quality products or had a good rapport with it's customers. I feel that in my short experience with Fujifilm that they are above an beyond what I'd expect from an imaging company. I am in the middle of updating my website and redid my watermark/logo. I've also begun to set up one of my first international workshops which will be announced shortly (stay tuned for more info on that). Speaking of workshops, I will be moving forward with building up a list of areas where I will be hosting workshops soon. I am also developing new presets and will have a new set of videos coming out shortly. If you want to stay informed about all of these and more, please use the subscribe section at the bottom of the page! I will also start doing Live videos on my official Facebook Page so be sure to sign up for my Facebook events/notifications to stay notified of when I'll be doing those videos. Another little fun thing we started to do at the Murray house is started up an instagram account for Emerson's service dog, Charlie. She looks like a giant teddy bear so we called it, "Charlie the bear dog." In her first 24 hours she has nearly 500 followers! Who know people loved dogs so much? Other than that, feel free to comment below to let me know what else you might like to see from me in the future.

It is the capital of Cyprus filled with restaurants and cafes as well as outdoor activities and many many shoppong streets
Take a tour on foot or by Segway around the old lost city of Nicosia, the history is incredible and its a great day out for all ages.
although it's hard being there in the summer, this is truly a great city to spend a few days in. great night life, art scene, and design, and very cosmopolite place.
Should visit here when on the island of Cypress...I love it because I was married here to my lovely wife Amal.

Alexis ~ Your Jacksonville NC Real Estate Specialist
My name is Alexis Pierson and I have been practicing real estate full time since 2006. The real estate market around Camp Lejeune Marine Corp Base is truly one of a kind. Over and over again we see articles in Business Week or on MSNBC proclaiming that Jacksonville NC is the most recession resistant city in the United States, or the best city in North Carolina to raise kids. All in all, it's a great place to own real estate!
In 2006, I decided to pursue a career in real estate after purchasing my first home. I had a great experience buying my home because I worked with a quality REALTOR, and now I strive to give that same great level of service to my clients. I enjoy working with people, and as the daughter of a retired Navy Electrician and wife of a prior Marine, I have a thorough understanding of the unique needs of the military family.
As a real estate agent, I specialize in foreclosures, and in the purchase and sale of Starter Homes in Jacksonville NC, Richlands NC, Hubert NC, and the Greater Onslow County area. I built my business working with First-Time Home Buyers, and now am happy to help them sell their homes as well. I stay up-to-date on advertising trends and on the technology that prospective home buyers use, so that I may more effectively market my clients homes. I am also very dedicated to the success, growth, and forward thinking progress of our local Board of REALTORS. To show that dedication, I have served the Jacksonville Board of REALTORs as a member of several committees over the years, and will be serving as President Elect for 2015 and President for 2016.
I moved to Jacksonville NC in the summer of 2002 from Mililani, Hawaii, so that I could be closer to some of my family. For the first four years that I lived here, I worked in the Jacksonville Mall for a cellular sales company. The jump from cell phones to real estate was a pretty big one, but the transition went relatively smooth! In 2007, I met my husband, and in April of 2009, we got married on Topsail Island. In 2013, we welcomed our son. We are happy to call Jacksonville 'home', and we live here with our two dogs, Pepper and Oscar.
Alexis Pierson ~ The Starter Home Specialist ~ Serving the Jacksonville NC area
Licensed in the state of North Carolina, affiliated with RE/MAX Home Connections. Your Starter Home Specialist for Jacksonville NC, Richlands NC, Hubert NC, and Onslow County.

I look ahead to a time in the future when I can share this publicly, but I additionally wish to undergo the appropriate channels to receive IRB approval. Anak yang mengalami gangguan komunikasi adalah anak yang mengalami kelainan suara, artikulasi (pengucapan), atau kelancaran bicara, yang mengakibatkan terjadi penyimpangan bentuk bahasa, isi bahasa, atau fungsi bahasa, sehingga memerlukan pelayanan pendidikan khusus. In 1997, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) expanded special schooling services by mandating that each one kids with disabilities—regardless of the type or severity of their incapacity—between the ages of three and 21 years are entitled to FAPE in the least restrictive atmosphere.
Faculty within the Department of Special Education pride themselves on being supportive and available to college students – and the division as an entire is devoted to coaching academics who serve individuals with disabilities and their families. Some states could supply another special training licensing program for people with a bachelor's diploma in a topic aside from teaching. I consider that to implement inclusion that the final education academics are going to wish the assist of the particular schooling division, directors, and fogeys.
As a special training teacher I really feel that there'll always be a need for special teachers in the education system because I suppose the catalyst to making inclusive lecture rooms work is for specialist academics to co-train alongside normal training teachers. In all circumstances, the first step towards a career as a particular education teacher is earning a bachelor's diploma.
It is recommended that teaching strategies should be arranged alongside a continuum from high to low depth, moderately than being organized in accordance with their association with a selected kind of particular academic want. Support services could involve bodily assistance and remedy, counseling and psychotherapy, modified studying environments and assistive studying devices, educational and psychological assessments, and behavioral modification strategies.
The Australian Association of Special Education (AASE) aims to reinforce entry for students with particular schooling must high quality educational packages, promote professional requirements of a excessive order and to assist research that informs the delivery of particular schooling within the Australian context. Some states and/or employers require much more schooling, with a grasp's degree requirement in particular schooling for all particular training lecturers. All Childhood with Special Education candidates should full one hundred fifty hours of field experiences earlier than pupil instructing.

You may remember this top from earlier this spring when the weather was still a bit on the chilly side. I decided to break it out again for summertime while it still covers my baby bump. I paired it with some mint short shorts and some comfy sneaks for a fun filled family day in Maryland. We had our belated Father's Day celebration this past Sunday with both my family and my husband's, complete with crab cakes (because that's what Maryland's all about right?), brisket, chicken, corn on the cob, pasta salad, strawberry salad, beans, homemade tortillas, rolls, ice cream, cake, a musical performance, a little rain, a little sunshine, and a lot of fun.

Last night, we went to our final child birth class and learned a lot about breastfeeding and newborn care. I'm really glad we decided to take the class, and now we feel a lot more confident going into the whole birthing experience. Tonight, I am joining the ladies for a spa night in complete with manicures, pedicures, and facials! Whoo! Nothing like a little mid-week pampering. The rest of the week, I plan on relaxing, and getting ready to travel back down to Maryland again for my friends Kurt and Tiffany's wedding on the Eastern Shore! Shortly after returning from that trip, we head off to Maine for our last mini vacay of the summer. Fun times ahead!
Hope you all are stayin' cool this Tuesday.

Samsung Shares Skid as Analysts Turn Gloomy
For shareholders in Samsung Electronics Co., it's been a cruel summer.
With the calendar year winding down on August today, shares in South Korea's biggest stock are down about 8.1% for the month, for a total decline of 16% from their June 3 highs. That puts Samsung in danger of falling into a bear market, generally defined as a decline of 20% or more from a recent peak.
By comparison, South Korea's broader Kospi Composite Index finished August roughly flat, and is up 3.7% since the beginning of June. On Friday, Samsung shares gave up 0.6% to 1,234,000 Korean won ($1,216) per share, outpacing a 0.4% pullback in the Kospi.

Hello gentlemen, ladies.
After a thread about decreasing performance in Run8 a discussion started between us and it has been noted that intel chips as well as a few select others have very serious security flaws in the hardware.
At this point AMD are pretty much safe except for a couple of chips and under a Linux os only.
This includes all macs.
The security flaws are.
Meltdown. The most serious and all intel and a few ARM chips are affected. AMD are immune.
Spectre 1. All intel chips and some ARM, AMD bulldozer only running Linux.
Spectre 2 all intel chips.
Get on to google and do some reading on this but we warned there's a lot of marketing and fud being thrown around at the moment. It is very serious for cpu manufacturers and the spin machines are working overtime.
At this point in time if you're building a new machine AMD (only Ryzen) is really the only safe option.
It could take a few years to fix i.e a complete cpu redesign.
Mikeebb knows far more about this than I do.

While the range of a normal white blood cell count is the same for everyone, the normal range of 4,000 to 11,000 is a wide one. Actual white blood cell counts vary depending on a person's gender and size, according to Cancer Research UK.
Age also affects the normal white blood cell count range. White blood cell counts rise or fall in response to various medical conditions, explains Healthline. Diseases and conditions, including HIV, bone marrow disorders, lupus and severe infections of many kinds, can cause the white blood cell count to drop. Anemia, leukemia, stress and allergies, among other conditions, can cause the white blood cell count to increase above the normal range.

Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush in Blushing Bride
I've read so many positive reviews about Tarte blushes that I just had to get one when Windy asked if I wanted to review anything from her store. I chose the Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush in Blushing Bride (P1,100 from Stuff in Style) because I don't think I have anything like it in my stash! It's a plummy-berry blush that's touted to have a long-wearing formula.
Texture and staying power. Blushing Bride is very pigmented and smooth, with a liberal sprinkle of golden sparkle mixed with the color. The shimmer doesn't look tacky or thick so it shouldn't show on your skin. You'll just get this golden glow which I think is a nice add-on.
The color can look clownish if you don't take care, so make sure to wipe most of it off on the back your hand before applying it on your cheeks. This way you get a perfect natural flush with no streaks! ;)
This blush does last long. Not twelve hours though - more like six to eight hours, depending on how oily you are and how hot it is. That's still a pretty good number, if you ask me.
Packaging. The compact is absolutely gorgeous. I own many pretty blush compacts but this one takes the cake. There's the Tarte logo embossed in front, and the smooth, glossy plastic feels weighted and expensive. The powder itself has an Amazonian river design that looks very shala.
I really like that the color of the compact is the same solid shade at the blush inside. That makes it easier to find in a sea of black or printed cases, I think.
Color. Blushing Bride is predominantly plum, with a lot of berry and some rose mixed in. I imagine that it would look fantastic on darker girls, but for me, it just doesn't work. Well it looks okay on me but it's off. This shade is also very picky with lipsticks. Mauve, purplish lippies look best with it.
Recommendations. If you're oily and love a good-looking compact, the Tarte 12-Hour Amazonian Clay Blush is a great find. It stays put and looks super natural when applied sparingly. A little goes a long way! It's kinda expensive for a blush, but you get 5.6 grams of pigmented powder so you get your money's worth.
Blushing Bride is best for morena girls, so if you're medium to light it's best to choose a more flattering shade. Thankfully, Stuff In Style has 11 other shades in stock! There's a dolly pink, coral, bronze, fuchsia - well, I'm sure you'll find something you like. ;)
I love this blush's formula, just not the shade. That's a revelation - plum is not my color. I think I look best in peach, reddish, and apricot shades. How about you, what's your most flattering blush?

La Boca winePosted by rod - 07.03.2012
Photo by Ester Inbar (wikipedia)
Argentina has some of the best wines in the world, and La Boca could be one of the most colourful neighborhoods in the world. Combining the two will give you the La Boca wine. Designed by Argentinean graphic designer and branding expert Guillo Milia.
This is how La Boca wine describes the area and wine:
"La Boca neighborhood is one of the most picturesque places in Buenos Aires due to its colorful port setting. The so-called "la piccola Italia" (little Italy) reflects the European influence, mainly southern Italian, who arrived to the port of Buenos Aires between 1860 and 1910. At the time, they used the paint left over from ships to cover the walls of their houses. La Boca is an icon of Argentinean identity, with a strong international transcendence in several aspects: historically, culturally, and artistically (Home of Tango). For this reason, it was chosen as a resource of visual communication to express the essence of our young, fruity and un-oaked wines." via soydg
In the "Colours of Buenos Aires" post you will be able to see some more photos of the area.

Balancing The Oils In Your Hair
Our head is made up of many tiny follicles which hair grows out to form the healthy crown jewel. Another option to keep away from the necessity for conditioners and detangling merchandise is to use a gentle shampoo. What occurs is this: you wake up with a greasy scalp, so that you wash your hair to take away the grease. There are also some great hair powder products available on the market that may significantly put the ca-bosh on grease, plus they assist your hair hold lasting quantity.
Curling your hair, or permitting your natural waves to shine by means of will assist maintain the oil down. Choose one thing lightweight, or use a depart-in spray (on your ends solely) as a substitute of a typical conditioner. It's best to avoid adding extra stress and therefore avoid exposing your hair to hot water and from utilizing the hair dryer too ceaselessly.
An obvious one, yes, however dry shampoo won't only suck up oil from your roots making your hair seem much less greasy within the moment, but it is going to also can help you spend extra time between washes which can make your hair much less greasy in the long run too.
To maintain hair fresh and bouncy wanting, bathe in the morning. Reyman factors out that oil from the scalp slowly strikes down the hair between washes, conditioning the hair shaft from roots to ends. It is attempting to avoid touching it and flinching away when others do. It's extended time in entrance of the mirror wondering if an up-do is nice sufficient or if right now is just a hat-day.

Aeonium are without a doubt, some of the most beautiful and sought after additions to succulent collections.
They reward our efforts with gorgeous spoon shaped foliage in shades of burgundy and green, sometimes variegated with splashes of palest gold.
Aeonium are native to the Canary Islands and North Africa, so you may be able to guess their preferred conditions - warm, or even hot would be the key word.
The name means 'evergreen' so this is a plant that never loses its leaves – until after it blooms that is, when the flowering rosette dies.
Climates that are similar to their native lands such as in California these incredible plants can give some formidable impact to the landscaping.
See the plant that Colleen found when she moved to her new home in San Jose. The flower spike alone is over 2 meters tall.
The pink, red, yellow or white flowers form from the middle of the rosette in spring or summer, after which the rosette will die. Hopefully, you will have propagated some rosettes to take its place.
Some Aeonium will form a fairly tall stand of rosettes of green, dark burgundy or variegated foliage each on the top of a slender stalk. The leaves are spoon-shaped, sometimes glossy, and occasionally matte.
They can reach a height of a meter (3'), or less than 15cm (5"), depending on the variety. Other species and varieties are suitable for mixed planters and succulent crafts as they tend to be more compact.
Easy to propagate, just remove a rosette with a piece of stem and allow to callous overnight and the stem end can be planted into a pot.
So what's the twist? Aeonium are not like other succulent plants.
They go into a summer dormancy when it gets hot in the late summer, and stay that way until the weather cools off in the fall, when they start to grow again.
While they're dormant, water them enough to keep them alive. And don't worry - they're not dying.
Aeonium grow best where minimum temperatures are about 4 degrees Celsius; they can't take any frost, so a sheltered or indoors environment only for this plant. It requires good ventilation, and bright light – full sun is fine, or partial shade.
Aeonium prefer a little more moisture in the soil than many other succulent plants. Water as soon as the soil is dry, but don't allow it to dry too much.
Gear the watering to the temperature; the cooler the weather, the less you need to water. Use tempered or lukewarm water to avoid shocking the roots.
Aeonium arboretum 'Velour'
The botanical term 'arboretum' refers to a tree like form, so this plant will get quite big. Luckily, beheading the rosettes to grow new plants will encourage more buds to break lower down, making it bushier.
Aeonium haworthia 'Kiwi'
Smaller in stature than the two purple varieties shown here, it will form a short clump rather than the tree like form of the others. The same conditions of soil and water apply.
Aeonium 'Schwartzkopf'
Rightfully popular, even after all this time with its glossy foliage and bossy attitude.
Regular beheading will keep Aeonium 'Schwartzkopf' in bounds and give you a supply of new plants to replace the aging rosette when it blooms.
Aeonium green species, thought to be A. balsamifera, due to the sticky coating on the leaves. Somewhat unpleasant to touch, but interesting.

150% Welcome bonus on the First deposit up to 1.5 BTC, 15 ETH or 150 LTC
- Withdrawal Limit: Not Stated
- Deposit Methods: BTC, ETH, LTC
- Withdrawal Methods: BTC, ETH, LTC
General Anonymous casino information
Since its foundation, we have been gaining experience in Anonymous for quite some time and have been able to write a comprehensive test report. And we can already make a recommendation in advance: just the great mix with the Merkur classics, but also SoftEuropeanGames and the super live casino from Evolution Gaming are unique and make express luck to an excellent provider, which is rightly also very popular with Europeanplayers is.
Welcome Bonus
The push luck bonus 2018 for new players is attractive. It is especially nice that you can try out free pressing, because most games are available in demo mode.
You have to make a deposit to enjoy the spinning luck bonus for new players. The bonus is 100 percent up to 750 euros. And that's not all, because there are a lot of free spins too: Overall, the casino credits every new customer with 70 free spins. The games for which the free spins can apply vary. Therefore, you should definitely take a look at the conditions of participation, so you know which slot machine you can play for free.
Anonymous casino offers only a 150% welcome bonus on fird\st deposit up to 1,5 BTC. The welcome bonus starts at 0.001 btc, 0.01 etc and 0.1 ltc. The most active players can receive up to 12.5% of their deposits.
The Anonymous casino welcome bonus convinces with free spins and thanks to good bonus conditions, the overall offer also convinces. The bonus amount has to be converted only 30 times. Scratch cards and slot machines are 100 percent, all other games 10 percent: it's easy to remember and much less confusing than many other casinos. In any case, it is recommended that you also check the conditions for this point.
Software and game offer
The express happiness experience is characterized by the very colorful software. Here you will find in a colorful mix of NextGen, Net Ent, Amaya Gaming, but also in English y and Europe especially popular Merkur slot machines. And the whole thing is so sympathetic and skilfully presented that you often only noticed when starting the game, with which provider you have to do it at all. And the download bonus offered is not necessary. Because all games are, as one would expect from such a new casino, also easy and directly online to play. Thus, the Mac and Linux users are not disadvantaged, but can also play quickly and directly.
Let's go to the Anonymous games. Here you will find several hundred slot machines, and in addition to the Merkur classics mentioned above, you should also highlight all the great jackpots from Net Ent and Microgaming: you will not be that multi-millionaire (if luck is good). But there are also many machines that are otherwise less well-known, such as two classic spaceship Enterprise Slots (one even with the tribes' cult status among fans) and much more.
In addition, there are numerous video poker, blackjack and roulette variants – here, nothing to be desired. And since all games are used for the bonus conditions, the spinning luck online casino is perfect for players who do not want to play slots.
Rounding out the fine offer by the great Live Dealer tables that Evolution Gaming provides. This is a perfect choice, the more atmosphere and "casino flair" brings no other provider in the online casinos.
Without any own express luck app, the casino works on the mobile. It is sufficient to use the browser on the smartphone or tablet to control the casino side and immediately you get to the Anonymous mobile website https://www.anonymous-casino.com/. This is so common today because such a page offers some advantages over an app. The biggest advantage is that you can ensure that even users of mobile phones who can not access Android or iOS can access it: this is how Anonymous works with Windows Mobile or Blackberries (who uses them?).
The game selection is the largest for Android and iOS users. They find a really good selection: so there are five roulette variants and over 200 slots for the mobile.
In the end, the casino is almost equivalent on the phone or on the computer. And, of course, the same luck bonus bonuses apply on both platforms and you always play with the same account. Incidentally, if you're lucky enough to use the computer, you'll soon notice that the page was also built for tablets and telephones: there are several pages that you can also scroll sideways, as you would expect from wiping your smartphone.
The Welcome Bonus at the Press Casino is good, but not outstanding. Similarly, our verdict on the further actions is canceled. There is a lot to offer here, but you are certainly not the best in the world.
Very nice is that there is a small action every day: under offer of the day Anonymous offers a variety of actions. Sometimes it's a few free spins, then big bonus offers or just sweepstakes.
In addition, one works above all with the VIP program, which in turn is based on a loyalty point system. There are many more offers for players, which become all the more attractive the higher you get in the VIP levels.
Another regular offer that offers much added value is the casino tournaments. Here is something every few hours. And unlike other casinos, it's not just about playing as much as possible, it's starting with a fixed free spins amount, and whoever's in the lead at the end wins.
At the end of the game there are free-spin tournaments that are free and that flush extra money into your account, as well as tournaments where you pay your entry fee. With the latter, the prize money is then significantly higher. Both versions are super exciting and provide a lot of variety.
Payment methods
In terms of security, the Anonymous Casino is at the forefront. This can be seen in the many certifications listed on the page and is also something that is recognized within the industry, for example at trade fairs or in specialist magazines. For the player, this is mainly due to the fact that banking offers a modern, encrypted system that also works very transparently.
The most important payment methods are offered – including cryptocurrencies, which is a big plus for any online casino. A deposit is made, as usual, practically in real time, a jerk payment takes the usual three to four bank days. In detail, the payment methods, in addition to Bitcoin, Litecoin and Ethereum
Customer service
And customer service is also doing a good job. A plus: The employees offer English -speaking support. This is very good news for players who do not speak good English. The contact is best made via live chat, but detailed and more complex problems should be sent by e-mail to Anonymous.
Safety and fairness
The sense of security and seriousness is in addition to the above-mentioned traditional companies in the industry still supported by the existence of two licenses: one comes from the Curacao. License is highly coveted and there are only a limited number of licenses for gambling and lottery operators, which are awarded annually by the government. The fact that the anonymous casino was able to get one of them speaks for both the seriousness and the professionalism of the casino.
If you take a closer look at the games, you see that manufacturers such as NetEnt and Merkur have flaunted their name in this casino by giving away the license for numerous games. One may therefore assume that large and experienced vendors like this team together only with a reputable casino.
The casino works with 128-bit SSL data encryption. Data transmission with this encryption guarantees that the data is protected against access by third parties. All transactions, as well as deposit, withdrawal and transfer between accounts, are carried out with this encryption. The fairness of the games in the casino is ensured by a random generator, which is subject to regular examinations by independent institutions.
The lucky luck casino has been in existence since 2014, when it opened its online doors for the first time. If you know a bit about casinos, then you can see at first glance that the spin luck casino was not created by a newbie in the industry. Behind it is Titanium as well as the names Merkur and Gauselmann. These names are a household name in the casino industry and they stand for seriousness, quality and a safe gaming environment.
NextGen Gaming and NetEntertainment games create an exciting gaming experience that will impress both novice casino players and seasoned casino players. There are hundreds of slots and classic casino games like roulette, blackjack, poker, baccarat and more. Although only a relatively manageable live casino is available here, the quality is always in the foreground, which is certainly a plus for many players. An attractive welcome bonus from tempted to take a closer look at the press.

Carrot Treat Boxes
So I have 3 different cut files of carrot boxes here to share with you today. The first one is super easy to make and will hold a bunch of stuff. It is from the Silhouette store by Lori Whitlock.
This next one is also by Lori Whitlock. It is a fun shape not as easy to make and won't hold very much.
This one is from Lea Griffith, I sized it down some. I had a hard time getting the little cutouts on the carrot to cut cleanly. I think for 2 reasons I sized it down and I used Bazzil paper (that was all I had in orange). I find that American Crafts paper just cuts better than Bazzil.

Bunny Box
I know I haven't posted much lately and I am sorry...all I can say is LIFE!! My dad is not doing well and we brought in hospice so that says it all. My puppy had surgery to get her dew claws removed and be spayed. My daughter and her family that was living with us bought a home and we moved them, another daughter and her family came for a 2 week visit. Life is fun and full and crazy at times but I love it all!
So for my project today I made some super quick and easy little bunny treat boxes (since I didn't even realize Easter was this week)! This is a Lori Whitlock file from the Silhouette store. I added the poms for tails instead of the cutout.

The spawn is right in front of a village. To your right there will be a swamp biome. One part of the village is actually generated in the swamp biome, causing one of the walking paths in the village to be in the water. It kind of looks like a little bay area or harbor. The village itself is quite small and has no blacksmith, so in that sense it's not that great. But it does have some farms from where you can harvest crops and get food.

Okay, so…60 days into this new presidency, it looks to me like we're going to spend the next four years watching a non-stop play of infinite acts. With none of the wit or wisdom of Pride & Prejudice, Obama and Company are going to treat us to Chaos & Cajolery.
Basically, the theater production is 137 acts (presented without intermission) of Barack Obama and/or any one of his supporting players (from the veep, the speaker, the secstate, the sectreas and on down to the lowly press secretary) engaged in misdirection and keen sleights-of-hand by means of…well…chaos and cajolery.
This is more than Kabuki Theater. This is more than a burlesque three-step. This is a full-on assault on reality by the office of the Most Powerful Person in the World, fully supported by the pretend-press, and it is alternately tedious and terrifying.
Here's how it works:
(CHAOS) You spend a few months trash-talking a nation's economy, and calling it a dire catastrophe, then you (CAJOLERY) shrug and say, "no, man, it's not that bad; people over-react."
You say (CAJOLERY) "we need to put on the brakes" then you (CHAOS) step on the accelerator, and toss money out of the car as it flies off the cliff, so that at least everyone is partying/suffering together.
You say (CAJOLERY) "our service people deserve our best," (you even get your wife in on that one) and then you say, (CHAOS) "but you know…not our financial and medical help for injuries sustained while serving us." Then you Spin while Dancing in Place (CAJOLERY?)
You say, (CAJOLERY) "these AIG bonuses are unconscionable; we should not be rewarding failure," but you (CHAOS) don't ask Jamie Gorelick or Franklin Raines – who made millions and millions of dollars in bonus money, while mismanaging Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae – to cough up their ill-gotten booty. Then you plan further Fannie and Freddie Bonuses. This is a tricky scene, because the right hand must not be allowed to see what the left hand is doing.
You say, (CAJOLERY) "this guy is the indispensable man to fix the economy." Then you say, (CHAOS) "well, yeah…he did oversee these AIG bailouts with the bonuses." There is some unicycle-esque pedaling back-and-forth.
You say, (CHAOS) "we didn't even know about these contractual bonuses," and then you say, "well, we did. But we didn't. But someone slipped them into the stimulus. (CAJOLERY) But no one we know. And (CHAOS) the bad guys are the businessmen! Even though they all contributed to our campaigns!"
You say, (CHAOS) you're too tired from fixing all these dire emergencies to do the "smart diplomacy" part right." Then you (CAJOLERY) go spend a surprising amount of time rounding up sports things.
You support (CAJOLERY) your laborsec's right to a secret ballot, then you (CHAOS) wink…and push to take away a union member's right to a secret-ballot.
You say, (CHAOS) "the planet is going to die from carbon, even if carbon is people!" We all need a green revolution! I'm going tax your ass off for your energy usage and call it "cap and trade," so you have no idea what the hell it all means." Then you (CAJOLERY) cue up Air Force One nearly every week to continue the "endless campaign" where you smile and joke and smile some more, until everyone tilts the head and says, "awww…what a nice guy…"
You tell everyone (CAJOLERY) you are going to "remake" America into a people's paradise. But you never tell them what that historically has meant, or (CHAOS) who wrote that particular script. Or how it gets played.
Your Ministry of Culture will provide the reviews.
Oh, and before the play is over – after each incredible scene – you take a bow. The press will help paint over the missed lines.
Then bow some more, (CHAOS) while you take control of the census, by hook or (CAJOLERY) by crook. "Oh, those guys? They're just guys I know from the neighborhood…"
And the best part about this bit of theater? You don't have to know a thing or learn a line. (CAJOLERY) The teleprompter is always there, and (CHAOS, CHAOS, CHAOS) less visible all the time.

It's been about forty five years since I last saw Aynne, my dear high school friend. She lives in California and I live in Connecticut, but thanks to Facebook, she has resurfaced in my life. This is how it is now, for so many of us: rediscovering old pals, far away in time and space, but still soulmates.
Memories are heaped upon memories ... her fabulous smile ... listening to Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds ... our teacher assigning one word descriptions to everyone in the class - she was ethereal and I was enigmatic ... both of us devouring books - Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land and Hesse's Damian spring to mind ... buying the same dress, unbeknownst to each other - hers black and mine red - then each of us wearing the dress to school on the same day, totally unplanned, and certain there was great meaning in the coincidence ... exploring Innisfree Gardens in Millbrook while sharing a yogurt (my first taste of the stuff) ... ice skating on Vassar Lake ... sharing secrets ... sharing friendship.
I'm sure I haven't a single photo of Aynne from that time, let alone a photo of the two of us together. But now I do have a lovely photo of her wrist, adorned with many gorgeous bracelets, one of which - the labradorite one on the far left - was made by me. That feels good ... feels special.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Aynne will know what that means.
A current photo of Aynne, stolen from her Facebook page. Beautiful!

Is cash really king for domestic economy travel?/
I love cash back. I earn a lot of cash back. Cash back can be used for all sorts of purposes that other currencies are ill-suited for. Things like food and shelter, paying taxes, and saving for retirement. But precisely because my personal preference is to earn as much cash as possible, I like to check in from time to time on exactly how cash back stacks up against other rewards currencies.
For example, that was the inspiration for my imputed redemption value tables, which I use whenever I have to decide whether to book hotel stays with cash or with points.
What's the best credit card?
It doesn't take long after you first get interested in travel hacking for someone to ask, "what's the best credit card?" As your game evolves, the answer naturally changes. If you just got started reading affiliate bloggers, you might confidently state the Chase Sapphire Preferred is the first card anyone should apply for. If you just started manufacturing spend, you might explain the (new) "old" Blue Cash is an easy money maker. And if you just spent an evening chasing phantom award space, you might just answer that it's best to run as fast as possible away from travel hacking.
I've been at this for a few years now, and my approach to advising curious acquaintances is to make sure they have a 2% cash back credit card. It doesn't really matter which one. Neither the Fidelity Investment Rewards American Express or Citi Double Cash has an annual fee. Fidelity's card gives you access to Amex Sync offers over Twitter, and the Citi card has slightly wider acceptance. Get either, or get both (I have both, although so far I've only used my Double Cash for the 15-month negative-interest-rate loan).
This isn't because a 2% cash back card is the best way to earn travel. It's because as long as 2% cash back cards exist, that's the standard you should judge all other travel rewards cards against. But if you don't have a 2% cash back card, the exercise is academic!
Is cash back the best way to earn economy travel?
The cliche that cash back is the best way to earn economy travel has two logical bases:
- co-branded credit cards earn 1 mile per dollar spent;
- and it's hard to get more than 2 cents per mile on economy redemptions.
The argument is then strengthened with reference to the fact that paying with cash gives you access to the airlines and flights of your choosing and that revenue fares are mileage-earning. It follows that while airline miles may give deep discounts on (capacity-controlled) premium-cabin redemptions, you're better off earning cash back if you're content to fly economy (as I, in fact, am).
It's an elegant argument. But is it true?
Do co-branded credit cards earn 1 mile per dollar?
It's true that most airline co-branded credit cards earn 1 mile per dollar.
But the American Express Starwood Preferred Guest card earns 1 Starpoint per dollar, which, when transferred in 20,000 increments, is worth 1.25 American AAdvantage or Alaska Mileage Plan mile.
Meanwhile, the Chase United Club card earns 1.5 Mileage Plus miles per dollar spent everywhere.
Suddenly we don't need to get 2 cents per mile, but just 1.6 (American and Alaska) or 1.3 (United) cents per dollar in order to break even compared to a 2% cash back card — although both the Starwood Preferred Guest and United Club cards have annual fees to beware of.
Is it hard to get 2 cents per mile on economy redemptions?
Because of capacity controls, the hoary wisdom states, award space is typically available only on dates when airlines expect to have unsold inventory, which are also the dates when airlines are supposed to price their seats most competitively.
But in addition to the "low"-level award inventory travel hackers love so dearly, American, United, and Alaska Airlines also offer more expensive awards that escape most capacity controls. While they're much-maligned by those who will pay any price to avoid using their miles on anything but low-level awards, this is in fact precisely the supposed benefit of booking with cash: access to any flight on any day!
Paying with cash, therefore, has to be compared not just to capacity-controlled low-level seats, but also to more expensive last-seat-availability awards. So, how do they compare?
Where do your domestic economy flights fall?
One could imagine four constellations of datapoints when looking at airfares and award availability:
- Expensive fares with low-level availability. @turnbullben on Twitter suggested American's flight from Richmond to New York City as an example of an expensive fare, and he's right: American wants $405 for a one-way flight on November 2, 2015. But they'll take 12,500 AAdvantage miles, instead! These are the redemptions that are the airlines' worst enemy: when someone who would otherwise spend a lot of cash spends just a handful of miles.
- Cheap fares without low-level availability. These are the opposite of the above: fares where you'd be crazy to redeem miles, getting well less than 1 cent per mile.
- Cheap fares with low-level availability. If 12,500-mile seats are available, you need to be saving at least $200 to justify transferring Starpoints in for a low-level redemption. But there are plenty of airfares cheaper than that, and those are the ones cash was made for.
- Expensive fares without low-level availability. These are the edge cases: do you spend more money than you'd like to spend or redeem more miles than you'd like to redeem? In January, American wants $1,122 for their nonstop flights between Chicago's O'Hare airport and San Jose, California. But they'll take 20,000 AAdvantage miles, instead. That's more AAdvantage miles than you'd prefer to spend on a domestic economy ticket, but it's also a 5.61-cent-per-mile return.
I don't get paid enough to give advice, so don't take this post as an invitation to apply for a $450-annual-fee United Club card. But the cliche that domestic economy flights should be paid for with cash, rather than miles, is treated as such gospel that I wanted to take a step back and interrogate it a little further today.
If your local airport is served by multiple competing airlines, you'll likely find fares too cheap to bother redeeming miles for. If you're a hub captive, you may find yourself buying fares so expensive that even high-level awards give you a better return on your credit card spend.

For Zynga CEO, Cash Came Early
Unlike Many Entrepreneurs, Mark Pincus Scored Big Ahead of a Company IPO
For many technology entrepreneurs, an initial public offering is a chance to make their paper millions real. Zynga Inc. chief Mark Pincus is part of a growing group of start-up founders who beat the IPO to the punch.
Mr. Pincus, 45 years old, took more than $109 million off the table when he sold a small portion of his stake back to the social games company in March, according to regulatory filings.

minimum of 25 edited images
great for seniors, bloggers, content needs,
and professionals who need marketing material

for business owners who need more than just a basic portrait
includes planning session
Projects & commercial work - $125/hr
image count varies based on needs
both shooting & editing billed at hourly rate
(office head shots billed hourly when booked as a group)
time & location
Almost all portrait sessions are shot in the 60-90 minutes of light leading up to sunset (weather permitting).
Most portrait sessions are shot in area state or city parks, and some require small entry fees, generally per vehicle.
This fee is totally worth it, since there are normally less people, buildings, and distractions... plus they're beautiful and well-kempt.
It's also a blast to shoot in some of the amazing little towns we have around here, like Seaside, Rosemary Beach, and Historic St. Andrews.
Please let me know which images in my portfolio are your favorite, and why!
(or send me a link from my Instagram or Facebook)
Commercial work is shot based on the needs of the project or business, as is the location.
Investments above are for locations within Bay County, and part of Walton County (up to the west end of 30A).
There is a $100 travel fee for surrounding counties, additional fees for locations more than 2 counties away from 32408.
how to book
I'm so excited you want to book! Here is the info on how to do that!
If you haven't already, email me your date range, with your first and second preferred shoot dates, so I can make sure I can accommodate your session.
(or as soon as possible if you've requested this information before having a date in mind.)
If you're vacationing, try to pick one of your first nights.
If I'm traveling to you, I will need one full day with similar weather to scout, and we will shoot on the second day.
We will need backup date options because weather is so unpredictable.. and hey- stuff comes up and we're both super understanding, of course!
Getting on the calendar requires you give a credit card number or pay for your session in full.
By doing this, you understand that if you cancel there is a 40% non-refundable booking fee that will be charged to your card, or not returned if you pay in advance.
Payment for session is due the day we shoot or before. You can pay with a check, cash, or your credit card (there is a fee for electronic payments).
Want your pictures in 7 days or less? Let me know, and ask to have your session expedited for an addtional $100.
tips & FAQs
Don't forget the sunscreen, because normal skin tones are important, and sunburns hurt!
Coordinating is always better than matching. Take a look through my galleries at the outfits.
If you need or would like assistance choosing outfits please feel free to text me directly.
Steer clear of large logos, screen prints, and small stripes (they warp when displayed digitally).
Neutrals like cream, black, denim, khaki, chambray, and plaid tend to stay in style and are always a good choice.
When choosing colors try to go for one with descriptors such as 'muted,' 'antique,' or 'grey-_____,'
like 'dusty blue,' 'antiqued yellow,' or 'muted lavender.'
Why? Brighter colors tend to cast their shade onto the skin of those wearing them or those nearby,
like a kid's face resting on dad's shoulder.
Fit is always very important. You need to feel comfortable and confident.
Outfit changes are fine, but try to keep it to 2 outfits total. Layers are a great way to add looks without losing time.
Commercial projects and branding sessions will come with a consultation to plan wardrobe.
taxes & tangibles
You may have noticed that none of my collections include tax!
This is because my business is registered in Florida, where photography is considered a service- and in the Sunshine State that means no sales tax.
If I were to include a tangible item - even a USB drive - your entire session is required to be taxed.
For this reason, my galleries are digital, and attached to a professional printer, where you're ordering directly from them for prints.
If you would like to include a custom, heirloom album, I charge hourly for design work,
and then add on the cost of the album. Average investment is $1500.
The Fine Print
Because I reserve a date for your session, and decline other sessions once you've booked, by booking a session with DGP you are agreeing to the 40% booking fee.
This fee is non-refundable, and will be charged to your card if you cancel your session (or, if you pay in advance, your refund will be less the 40%).
Yes, you are allowed to download and print your images where you like- up to an 11x14.
However, the images you are purchasing are professionally calibrated to high-end printers,
and will be greatly reduced in quality by ordering outside of your gallery (from printers such as CVS, Walmart, Shutterfly, & Target).
If you print outside of the DGP gallery, your images could print pixelated or blurry, and it's common with low-quality printers that colors bleed into each other.
DGP is not responsible for the quality of images ordered outside of your gallery.
Prints ordered through DGP range from $2.00 to $12.00, and canvases from $225 to $375.
Large canvases, large prints, books, and some cards are custom orders and costs will vary.
Your session includes basic editing and basic enhancements only.
Any additional editing/airbrushing you request, such as sunburn reduction, etc.., is billed at $35 per image, and must be paid for in advance.
You are not allowed to edit or alter your images in any way, including filters (this is due to US IP laws, feel free to ask why).
If you are late to your session time, DGP is not responsible to produce a full gallery of images.
You do have the option to reschedule, if DGP can accommodate you, for a $100 fee.
In the unlikely event DGP cannot accommodate rescheduling, you can choose between shooting what we can, or canceling & paying the 40% booking fee.
If you choose to pay with a credit card there is a 3.5% + .15c processing fee.
Even though your gallery will be up for 10 years, DGP galleries are stored by another company, and you still need to download your images
(I recommend to two hard drives or storage devices).
DGP is not responsible for storing your images, and cannot promise to have them on file/stored for more than 1 year.
DGP will use the images from your session for any and all marketing material, unless otherwise specified and agreed upon between client and DGP via email.

Isabelle Barbier moved to New York from her hometown of San Francisco to study improv at the Upright Citizens Brigade. After she finished the Improv and sketch writing programs, she attended the Atlantic Acting School's conservatory program founded by David Mamet and William H. Macey. She is now the artistic director of the Flashbulb Project theater company. Her work has been presented at ITATI, Atlantic Theater Company Alumni Night, Manhattan Rep, and the New York Fringe Festival. She is a contributor to the feminist zine "Ladies of Leisure" and produces her own podcast with Sally Tabart entitled "Bad Women." Through her writing Isabelle strives to give a more rich and complex voice to the female experience, as well as empowering other women to make their own work.
"In the role of Anne, Isabelle Barbier is mesmerizing
She nails the innocence of the 13 year old Anne, as well as her curiosity and budding womanhood as the play progresses. She realistically portrays the complexity of a young girl, from a relationship with her mother fraught with conflict, to the blossoming romance with young Peter. "
-Joseph Harrison Broadway World
"You can't take your eyes off her. She is simply amazing.
For any actress, it's a daunting task to bring the part of the perky, optimistic and valiant Anne Frank to life. But Isabelle Barbier more than rises to the occasion. Not only does she give the performance of the year, but the actress far surpasses that of Natalie Portman who played Anne in the 1997 Broadway revival and others who have tackled the role locally and regionally over the last ten years."
-Jim Ruocco Take 2
"there's absolutely no doubt who anchors this production: it's Isabelle Barbier, who plays Anne.
the actress bears a striking, almost haunting resemblance to the real Anne Frank, but that isn't why you can't take your eyes off her. Barbier manages, effortlessly (right!) to capture the essence of the Anne Frank we know from the Diary, which was used as the basis for the play by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett and sensitively adapted by Wendy Kesselman. Barbier's Anne is a girl on the cusp of becoming a woman, a perspicacious, verbose (those confined with her suggest she's a bit too verbose) sometimes awkward gamine who can barely control the life that surges through her. The fact that the audience knows what awaits Anne does not, oddly enough, detract from the enjoyment of watching Barbier create an Anne Frank who, despite everything, embraces life."
-Geary Dahiny CT Theater New and Reviews
"If this production is representative of their talents in the least, Flashbulb has a bright future
There is a temptation to pigeon-hole this as a play about Generation Y and Millennials, written by them for them and only of interest to them. That is a temptation best resisted to the utmost. Isabelle Barbier (who plays Annie and who is artistic director of the Flashbulb Project that is presenting this show at FringeNYC) has written a piece that could readily be recast and slightly re-written to accommodate those in their 40s, 50s, and 60s. Yes, it is about people closer to college than Social Security, and the themes she unveils resonate most powerfully for them, but they also echo across the years."
-Jeff Myhre New York Theater Guide
"Barbier has such a special voice,
and with its great sense of structure and rich dialogue, her play is a real winner. I hope to hear her writing for a long time"

Sump Pump Help
Whenever there are heavy rains, the accumulation of water in the basement is a matter of great concern. For many homeowners, it is important to get rid of the filthy water.
Now through the sump pump it can be easily cleaned from the basement of dirty water. It is attached to the tile, which comes out from the area near the feet of the house under the entire basement.
In many homes the tile is in only one part, so the homeowner should first decide what kind of drainage system their house has.
It is necessary to get rid of the dirty water that is left in the house and this work can be done easily with the sump pump. Sump pumps come in two basic models: the upright (commonly called a pedestal) and the submersible. Either will work well with proper maintenance.
Submersible pumps are designed to be submerged in water and sit on the bottom of the sump. The on/off switch is attached to the pump and can be a ball float connected to an internal pressure switch or a sealed, adjustable, floating switch.
Now you have the question what horsepower required for your house? So, Its depend on the depth of the basement and many factors. The cheaper one is ½ hp pump but we recommend 1/3 because this pump is most satisfactory for most house.
When used in similar conditions, a 1/2 horsepower pump will pump more water and lift it higher than a 1/3 horsepower pump. Most new sump pumps will have a chart or graph in the instructions or on the box that shows the flow versus height of lift for both sizes.
The flow usually is given in gallons per minute (gpm) or gallons per hour (gph). Multiply the gpm by 60 to convert to gph. The height of lift is given in feet of vertical lift.
The 1/2 hp pump shouldn't cause any problems, but in situations where the water flow into the sump is relatively slow, you would have no advantage by using the larger pump. However, in situations where the water flow can become quite rapid, a 1/2 hp pump will keep up with the flow, whereas the 1/3 hp pump may not.
Almost all sump pumps come with a list of required tools and directions for installing them. Replacing a sump pump should not be too difficult for the "average" person. However, if you do not have the time necessary to install a sump pump or would just fell more comfortable having a professional plumber install your cellar sump pump systems, give us a call today for a free sump pump installation estimate!

New Construction Patio & Lifestyle Homes: Soraya Farms in Clearcreek Township
Welcome to Soraya Farms in Clearcreek Township!
This community is so new you might not even find it on the maps! In fact, Google doesn't have it clearly marked yet. Soraya Farms is located in Clearcreek Township on the west side of State Route 48 just below the northern edge of the Warren County line (near Village Rental). It offers Springboro Schools and is a Design Homes builder Planned Urban Development (PUD).
Basically Soraya Farms is a mixture of different home styles and is in the process of Phase I and II buildings. A clubhouse with pool and exercise room are complete, as is the lake in the center of the community.As far as the homes themselves, there are single family residences, and a Lifestyle Community.
Soraya Farms doesn't have your typical Lifestyle section, but a variety of offerings that fall into the Lifestyle category. Typically our blog focuses on patio homes (detached homes, most commonly ranch style). Soraya Farms does have patio homes priced in the mid-200s. We're including a couple of pictures of Soraya Farms patio homes for you to see the curb appeal of these new patio homes. Square footage is approximately 1800 and they have several floor plans to choose from for your new construction build. The community is too new, so no resale patio homes are available.
In addition to the limited quantity of patio homes on Lemans and Chantilly streets, they also have two other primary styles of Lifestyle homes: duplex style and attached ranches. In both cases, the homes have plenty of curb appeal! The attached ranch homes are built in groupings of four, and the duplex style are two story lifestyle homes.
Soraya Farms Lifestyle owners will essentially have a maintenance free lifestyle. Exterior maintenance is covered per your community assessments. Additionally, landscaping is also covered. No snow to shovel, no grass to mow, no leaves to rake!
If you'd like more information on Soraya Farms Lifestyle and Patio homes, please contact us! We'll be happy to assist with information on the latest availability, floor plans and more.
As a reminder, PLEASE have us come with you to meet with Design Homes the first time. The builder has our services for YOU already built into the price, so having representation to protect your best interests adds nothing to your cost.

I'm one of those people who tends to organise things for friends and family anyway, so I saw My Travel Biz initially as a way as a way to be rewarded for what I was already doing.
I need flexibility to work around the needs of the kids, so anything that was going to demand hours and hours of my time wasn't going to work.
My Travel Biz makes it easy because they have their 'Quick Registration Form' in the Affiliates area so you quickly enter someone's details and know that they will then receive the newsletters and special offers, all under your Affiliate code. Then they have the 'Booking Enquiry Form' which you fill in when you've got someone with a specific holiday in mind departure airport, date, destination, duration etc.
I've found that the little amount of time spent filling this in as accurately as possible has really paid dividends because the travel experts that call your clients are really good at converting enquiries to bookings as long as they have the basic information. Having said that, I've received commission for people I'd completely forgotten about that I'd registered along the way.
It took me 8 bookings to reach the 299 level and get my money back but now the difference in the commission level on Super Affiliate level really makes a difference to the money I earn.
I'm really happy and my customer base is building nicely, I also love receiving the commission off my own holidays!

Pete's First Visit - Good Job Guys!
Today was the first chance for Groups A and B to meet Pete Churchill. We had 2 excellent workshops at Stanford and St Teresa's, rehearsing On and On, Where To Now and Ride The Wind. At St Teresa's we looked at the things each class had brought, to take with them on their journey - it was clear that you had discussed your options carefully and made choices which meant a lot to you all.
Remember what Pete said about 'tasting' the words and really using your mouth, so the words become lodged in your 'muscle memory'. Also to add the L / R movements as you learn the song, not afterwards, so the movement becomes part of the song.
We've lots still to learn and we'll need all those fabulous words and phrases of encouragment if we are to achieve our QUEST - to become the best Merton choir EVER to perform at the Royal Albert Hall!
